Looking for a good place to hang out..I can recommend you one. (That's if you never need to go toilet or eat for a whole day).
The the place is.............Singapore Science Centre! hahaz...okays..I know...you are gonna call me a nerd, aren't you? Then read this. There are even loads of youngsters who go there (they dye their hair and dress a bit too much like ah beng...hahaz..sorrie to those who are reading out there..no offence meant.). It isn't where mad scientist reside. Oh no. The place itself is mad. It's full of mad science and stuff. For people who love to push buttons, you will love this place. Everywhere you go, it's buttons! I really like that place..well if I could work there..it'll be a dream come true.
The only woes I have about it is this - it's toilets and cafeterias need alot (X infinity) of improvement. The toilets are rather dirty and smelly. My mum complained that there was toilet tissue but it was impossible to pull it out. Water trickles from the tap for only a few seconds. Really the mark of an horrendous toilet. Read my previous entry for the makings of a clean toilet.
The cafeteria is eh..expensive? It is! Ya..One stick of 3 sotong balls - $1.50. Nasi Lemak (with only some chilli covered ikan bilis and a small ikan kuning) $2.00. They sure know how to squeeze the money out of visitors. The food is not fantastic.
SCIENCE CENTRE! PLEASE IMPROVE YOUR TOILETS AND CAFES!!!

Watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire just now. It was a night show at Suntec City Eng Wah Cinema. Not bad. The movie was pretty clear, I mean the images. It the Something-Digital-Screening of the movie. Watched it with my cousins, aunt and uncle. (I got my ticket free! Thx Xiao Gu!!)
Unfortunately, the movie wasn't fantastic. If one hadn't read the book, one wouldn't understand the whole movie. Many parts of the book was cut out - eg. the playing of the Quidditch Tournament. But anyway, I didn't really watch it for the story. I just wanted to watch the cast's acting. Well, they were good lah (DUH!!).
I like most of the actors and actresses. The boys acting as Harry and Cedric are rather good-looking, I must say. Too bad for them, I won't go mooning over them. hA. The Weasley twins were hilarious and so was Ron (not bad-looking either).
And YA. Ivan Ngo. U are right. Emma Watson does look gorgeous here. She's grown up to be one nice-looking one. But all the same, I won't go mooning over her. PULEESSE! Wait! Katie Leung is equally pretty (just much gentler, probably).
It'll be nice to meet them in person. I seriously wonder what they are out of the reel world and into the real world.
Whatever it is, I have watched the movie and forgotten most of it. hahaz..I couldn't care less. They are far far away in Hollywood in eh..America? Unless I become a Hollywood actress or cleaner. HAHA!

Housework and housework.
No. I have not become a housewife...please. haha..I'm helping my mum with it. It's quite satisfying though it involves lots of energy and strength. It's always nice to be in a
clean house - floors are squeaky clean (literally. If the marble floor is not clean, it is impossible to make any squeaks with your feet when you walk on it. + grimy marble floors are GROSS). Toilets don't smell and are not sticky (yew!!). All dust is gone!! hahaz..My house is spick and span! Well, almost.
It seems that there is hole in the toilet wall of the toilet next to my bedroom. This is BAD. Water has been seeping into it, making the parquet tiles in my room wet. Now they are turning black and so is my wooden bookshelve. AAA!!! Gonna get them fixed soon.

hm..I am getting really lazy. It's so difficult to bring myself to blog nowadays.I better do it more often. (practise my english).
This morning, my mum, brother and I played ludo.It definitely is one unmerciful game! (on my brother's part) He kept on kicking my mum's and my pawns out! Haiya!! Meanie-pok. Anyway, it was a good dose medicine for my mum's giddiness. Some laughter helped to take the giddiness away, I think.
Youth camp's in about 2 wks time. Pearl and I are preparing the songs. Sigh..I feel rather guilty. I couldn't come up with the songs or the theme. hahaz..sorry pearl! Pearl told me that she believed the theme was on faith in God and His love. Interestingly, I think so too! I opened my bible to where I last stopped reading. As I read on, I realised that I was reading about the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus walking on the water and the feeding of the four thousand. And they are all about faith!
It does take alot of trust in Jesus for the 12 disciples to actually try to feed the crowd with only a few loaves and fish. Jesus also chided Peter for his little faith. "You of little faith," He [Jesus]said," why did you doubt?"
Yea..why do we doubt? Why do we doubt the God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit? We admit that God was the creator of this earth. He is the Lord God Almighty - and nothing is impossible for Him. Yet, we still doubt.
It takes alot of faith to believe that our invisible yet omnipotent God is there even if we can't feel or see Him. It is indeed a difficult thing to do because it sometimes defies the norms of this world.
Many a times, I wonder why God speaks to some people so audibly while I have never heard from Him directly except through the Bible. Sometimes I think He is speaking to me but I have doubts - is it really Him or just my imagination? I still want to know. How do I know??? I guess I truly have to work on my faith and my sensitivity to the Lord's Voice. But
How?Lord, please show pearleen and I (as well as the rest of the worship team) what to do and what You want us to do that will please You. Use us for Your glory, my Lord. We know that You will lead us through.

So Graduation Night has come and gone.
I still remember the times in sec 1,2 &3 that my friends and I used to be so excited about that special night, ever-wishing that it would be our turn soon. How we would be dreaming about the kinds of dresses we would wear, where the event would be held, so on and so forth.
Strange though, this excitement seemed to have worn off
on the day of grad nite. The only thing that made me jumpy was whether or not I would be late. I reached Swissotel (Merchant Court) at 6.50pm - about 35 minutes late. hA. I missed the cocktail. Anyway, everyone was still running around and many came much much later than I did. Surprisingly, Ying Hui was early!
I felt rather homemade when I saw the way everyone else was dressed. Not that I didn't look nice. Fair enough, I looked nice, I mean the dress did suit me fine. But as far as make-up and hair-dos were concerned, I probably didn't do so well because I just did everything at home. Another surprising thing this year was the way my batch dressed. Unlike the previous batches which wore shiny satin dresses and looked as though they were bridesmaid, majority of my cohort wore something that is much more for parties than anything else. So there! I wasn't the only one who bought something that wasn't satin. I did feel a
leetle inferior to my friends because they seemed much more elegant pretty than I did. Oh well, I'm probably not cut out to be the glamorous type, I guess. And you know what? I think I might prefer that. I just like my shorts and t-shirt!
Prerana won the Miss Crescentian 2005. Good for her! She does put herself forward as a confident young lady, with a good sense of humour yet matured thinking. She has always been, since the time I knew her four years ago.
Mrs Yeo won the Most Fashionable Teacher Award. It's quite funny actually because she's the new discipline mistress. I never imagined that a discipline mistress would ever be able to have such good taste.
I took numerous pictures with my classmates, friends and teachers and before I forget, I took quite a few of the roses on my table too. Halfway through the whole event, I suddenly became very interested in the bowl of 3 roses on the table. I started to snap pictures of them and managed to get some nice ones too. I was sorely tempted to start plucking out all the petals of the roses and photograph the inside just for amusement but I didn't think the waiters wouldn't exactly find it amusing.
I don't really feel anything even though grad nite is over. All I know is that it is -
over!P.S. I seem to be the shortest in every photograph (except when I am with Paula, Namira and Mrs Heng.) -_-
P.S. 2 Halfway through prom, my shoes cut my toe. oUch.

So O level is over. I am definitely happy but frankly, it's like any other day. Sometimes I still find myself worrying about my work. I am just relieved that I can do other things now. I am truly having a difficult time sorting out my books and worksheets. I can't bear to throw anything away! If I did so, it would be as good as throwing hundreds and hundreds of dollars away!
To all juniors who are reading my blog.. please tag my blog if you are interested in having my books. I am thinking of selling them but on second thoughts maybe I will just give them away to you.
PLEASE TELL ME ASAP!

My dad, mum and I had quite a fun time laughing just now. Just before my dad reached home, my brother accidentally upset a whole pile of CDs from the piano. What a crash! There were a number of broken cases (thankfully, no broken CDs) and some sharp fragments on the floor. I was quite angry with my brother initially but I couldn't keep it up for long. At first, I scolded him for not helping to pick up the CDs. He place one of the songbooks back into its sleeve to no avail, partly because he was very sleepy. He tried but couldn't. He started muttering and complaining softly. I thought he was just unhappy that he had to help clear up. It apparently wasn't. A few minutes later, he was beginning to cry. He took his favourite white pillow and went to our backyard where the dustbins are and continued whimpering. By then, my dad was already home. I told dad what happened and the whimpering became louder. My brother lay down on the floor of the backyard, still sobbing. A ha! So we finally understood what he was doing. Walter was feeling very bad that he had toppled the CDs. He felt even worse when he knew he would be yelled at by my dad. He went to the backyard where we always threatened to send him to (to sleep) if he misbehaved. He was
punishing himself! (before anyone could scold him..hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) SHA GUA! In chinese that is zi yuan..no I am not translating that.
We were all laughing and spliting our sides secretly. I haven't stopped laughing since.

Last night, my family decided we were not hungry so we stayed home and ate only bread for dinner. What a mistake. We went to sleep at 9pm because we were all tired only to wake up at 1am this morning, complaining of hunger. So much for sleeping early!
