AHAHAHAHAHAAH- I keep laughing to myself.

2008-06-10T10:49:00.003+08:00

It was really really REALLY hilarious last night. After I came back from hanging with my oldies, I was rushing CRAZY to pack my bag for church camp. Then, halfway, when I was talking on the phone while packing, my mum came in to ask me to sleep soon. This is how it went...

Mum: "Andrea, sleep soon ok!? It is getting late."
Me: "Okay okay, soon soon."

Me:" What time must we wake up tomorrow?"
Mum: " Normal time la. Why you ask for what? We're not even leaving tomorrow."
Me: " WHAT!!!!!!?????? I thought we were the advance party!"
Mum: " Not anymore... we're going early on Wednesday morning."
Me: (expressionless for a while) " whatttt...... ".

So yes, I rushed the WHOLE night only to find out later that I was not going to leave the next day.-_-
Yup. My silly night huh.
SEE YOU ALL AT CHURCH CAMP!(:

Andrea

let the pictures speak for itself

2008-06-06T12:00:00.002+08:00

Take me away

2008-06-05T11:43:00.002+08:00

I can see why people actually go mad after a long while.
I really need to get out of this place for the time being.
I really really really need to get out and get over things.
Dinner tonight should be a good thing for me.Yeah...
Change might be good for me too.(even though I am scared to face it)
My small getaway for June before I come back to school to finish my art.

Recital Days.

2008-06-04T08:54:00.004+08:00

(Our last recital together in the dressing room @ Kallang during out 2005 Singapore Dance Arts Recital, No Me Ames)

(From far left- KeriAnn,CherylWong,AmandaLim, Danielle&Me.)

Now that I look at this picture again, I realised that everyone in this picture except me does not attend ballet classes anymore. Oh, how I miss seeing them in class. Especially Cheryl Wong because she always used to be my dance partner for exams and recitals. haha.. Then, we'll goof around during classes whenever some funny clown like music started playing on the music system in the dance studio. Hmmm... but, SUDDENLY, we all grew up from 4 year old ballerinas to um... 16,17,18 year old people and started becoming busy with school and outside activities. New students joined out class, old students left and our class became super small at one point. Now, there's Teresa, Xinyan, Christina, Nicki,HyeYun and the only one from my original class, Amanda New.ahaha. Even Ms Emi has just left us to settle down. Ms Shanty is our current teacher. Ethel, who is my classmate now, used to be in Dance Arts too. She took up tap dancing when she was pretty young, but she told me she's stopping:( Yeah. So so so, I won't see her at Dance Recitals anymore. Anyways, I think you guys get the drift.

_________________________________________________________________________

Talked to Keri Ann online recently and I do know that Amanda knows some of my seniors because she went to SAJC. For Dan, I am not too sure what's going on, but for Cheryl, she's probably training for the national fencing competitions. Glad to see they are all doing their own thing now:D Likewise, I am.(uh...O lvls?does that count?)

_________________________________________________________________________

Mum and Dad just left for Bintan. I'm still stuck at home. -_-

Imagine a sad Andrea painting at her desk at home while waiting for the holidays to really start.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT!!?? I can't....:(

hahaha. Anyways, I really want to paint, so I'll get going(:

Will post it up when I've finished and taken a picture of the pieces.

RAMEN!!

Eating RAMEN!!

EATING RAMEN later with TUA YEE and SHAWN!!

Mhmm mhmm...

Hungry

I recall.

2008-06-01T21:48:00.006+08:00

(I Cant Seem To) Make You Mine - The ClienteleWas listening to "The Lake House" movie soundtrack on imeem, and I really really love the songs. (especially "this never happened before by paul McCartney & "I can't seem to make you mine" by Clientele) Made me feel all calm and warm inside:) *sigh*

Been a while since I last listened to songs which made me feel this way. Weird how it all came to me naturally. Closing my eyes, remembering everything that happened during my week... so on so forth. I miss my week. I actually missed it...

At this point of time, I am trying to imagine myself sitting on soft,white and warm sand while looking out towards the endless sea, the crimson red sunset. Thinking of how God has pulled me through all the struggles in my last 16 years of my life. Teaching me lessons of which I'll never forget. High time I did something in return don't you think?
Hmm... Think I should make a list of things-to-aim- for in the next 10 years of my life. Maybe I'll do that while I travel up to Malaysia next week for church camp. Hahah, knowing myself... I'll probably have to cancel off some unrealistic THINGS in my list later on in my life, like sky diving or something. hahah. I'll probably chicken out:D!!

Going to meet mum tomorrow in town to get my fringe trimmed but I'll probably be dropping by at the OKH in Tanglin Shopping Centre to get my demi pointe shoes first before meeting her. Whoo!Can't wait:)

Think I should save up to get the DVD for "The Lake House".ahah... how random. Hold on... my mind just produced another random thought!
I love cold rainy nights, watching tv with a cup of hot chocolate in my hands.hahah.Delicious stuff. Mhmm mhmm:D
***********************************************************************************************
One last thing to add...
Mum just told me that when she slow dances with Dad, she always places her feet on his feet so that he'll just move them along together. NAwwwwwwwwwwwww.... *heart melts*:D

Have a good week everyone(:

always with love,
Andrea

TAGBOARD REPLIES:)

tag board replies(:

To Charmaine: Yay! Too bad it only lasted while it could. Back to school:( haha.

To Janelle: Here's a hug back to you then(: *hugs you*

To Li Jun: The paper was alright(: Paper 2 was better compared to paper 1. How about you?:)

To Adriel: Hey!:) haha. You take care too.

********************************************************

i'll hear your voice.

2008-05-26T14:45:00.006+08:00

Song which keeps replaying in my head

I'll hear your voice by Rockapella

And now that we've reached the end,

I think of all that's passed

of how the time that went so fast

and of how I've come to depend

upon the faith I feel inside your guiding hands

Say you'll go with me forever, though I know that you can't

Well I ain't much with words

There's nothing' I could say that you ain't heard

But I promise you that each and every day

I'll hear your voice

In every thought that flows through my mind

I'll see your face

In every cloud that floats through my sky

And when the world is too much

and the hurt's got me down on my knees to pray

I'll hear your voice

and you won't be so far away

Do you remember a moonless night?

With only sound for a view,

funny what an ocean can do

Say you'll go with me wherever, even though I know it's just a dream

Though I know it's unknown,

It's something that I gotta do alone

But I swear to you I could never do anything without

your soul inside

I'll hear your voice

In every thought that flows through my mind

I'll see your face

In every cloud that floats through my sky

Someday I'll hold you, and we will be sailin'

and I will never have to say goodbye again

Till then, till that day

I'll hear you In every thought that flows through my mind

I'll see your face

In every cloud that floats through my sky

And when the world is too much

and the hurt's got me down on my knees to pray

I'll hear your voice

and you won't be so far away

(The new dog in TUAO named 'Hello'. Doesnt he look like a stuff animal?Makes me feel like hugging him.haah.)

With school being the place I seem to hang out a lot these days, my friends and I have been entertaining each other during long hours of Chinese. Climbing up and down the stairs to and from the theatrette is a killer.

Anyways, it is clearly 2 more days to O lvls Chinese paper.

All of us have promised to remind each other to sleep early, bring everything on Sunday night if we see each other online. I highly doubt there would be that many of us online anyways.haha.

____________________________________________________________________

Just realised that there's hardly any proper food at home. I just ate an apple, and that was literally what I call, my lunch. Hmm... I'm so tired.bored.tired.motivated.tired. hahah. Yes, I am.

Part of me is starting to get the butterflies in my stomach every time I think of the exams, but luckily, I've managed to control the nerves. Let's hope I'll keep this up till Monday morning.

Alright, I'm going to the hairdressers now to get those split ends snipped off:) Finally...

____________________________________________________________________

Upcoming Events:

1) Mum coming home on Sunday morning:D

2) MT Olvel paper on Monday (Will be in school by 7:30am)

3) Church camp (Can't wait)

old school thinking,

Andrea

Hot stuff.

2008-05-22T18:19:00.003+08:00

(At Juanita's 17th Birthday at Frolicks quite some time back)

How the days past so quickly.
3 more days till our first O level paper.
The chinese girls in Ms Wee's class have decided to get her a whole load of stuff to help improve her health because she always complains to us about how her throat hurts and how she still comes to school to teach us. Think she has suffered enough teaching us this subject.
Can't believe it, we were so enthu in class just now. (only because we wanted to leave earlier.heh) Yeap, I'll be missing Chinese lessons soon:( (can't believe I am saying that).
_______________________________________________________

Got back report books today.
Not happy, not happy at all.
I've got to pull up my socks to waist high length. yes...
_____________________________________________________

Hmm...
AEP was super mega amusing. Steph and I were trying so hard not to laugh when we were watching the different dance routines..Anyways, we had to learn some dance steps for AEP today and it was honestly, very strange. They were supposedly teaching the school the steps they learnt in dance camp. After a while, Steph and I started making up steps cause we couldn't see properly from the back and the demonstrators at the sides were not even moving-_-. Saleha joined in our self created dance steps later. "She hit the floor... low, low..." AHAHAH! STEPH!! Okayy. Anyways, we're all counting down in our heads to MT paper.

Things to remember:
1) Chinese Dictionary
2) Confirmation Slip
3) Pencil Case
4) I/C

Please don't forget, please DON'T FORGET!! Oh no, I am getting the kiasu fits.
Sigh.
Sigh.

(Picture taken by Sha Nin when we were in class)

Felt so good to dance after a long, emotional, mental and physically draining day.

A little sleepy from everything, but I should be alright.

The O levels briefing today got me thinking of the whole exam thing. With the terrible mid years and the upcoming MT O's, I am, will and have to keep relying on the strength from above to keep me afloat. I can't do this on my own...and that is what I have learnt. Will be praying hard that I'll be able to pick myself up up up and go go go. After all, I did promise myself a few things before this year began. Think I'll stick to it. Had a good long talk with Shawny(my brother) in my room. Told him about my results and how I felt about everything since I knew he could relate to it. My eyes started welling up when Dad came in to ask about it:'/ Really didn't want to cry ok... but yes, I do think that failing makes you stronger and tougher. I AM ONE TOUGH COOKIE!:) Thank youuu Shawny, you're the most awesomeness brother one can ever have:) I am going to suck it in and walk on.

Anyways, he just got a job at 'HUGO BOSS'. YAY! Can't wait for him to start work. I think he's pretty excited about it too:)

____________________________________

Aw man... I am so sleepy.

It is only 9:25pm and I am already dozing off. Bad stamina.

Ah, I think I'll finish up on the bit of Chinese before getting an early night.

Plus, sing a happy tune before doing so(:

Can't wait for Mum to be back from China.

I want to be where You are, dwelling in your presence.

Andrea

FINISHED!

2008-05-19T21:21:00.006+08:00

YAY! I am finally done with my Chinese homework. *spins around*.

Have ballet tomorrow... think I'm going to fall asleep on my way home tomorrow. Sigh.

I mean, I already have school till 5pm and ballet starts at 5:30pm. Going to have to rush rush rush. pff... -_-"

Hate rushing.

Okay, time to pack my school back, get myself mentally prepared for the checking of exam scripts tomorrow and sleep soon. Before 12am, before 12am.

2008-05-17T11:23:00.003+08:00

Mother Tongue O Level papers will start on the 26th May '08. AHh, won't be long till that day comes. Really tired from the endless hours of Chinese. Worksheet after worksheet...worksheet... worksheet. Don't think I'll get enough of it anytime soon.

Good part of school this week was the MYE Art Paper results. Still can't digest the whole idea of my results, but I am truly grateful for it. Am extremely happy for Cam as well. She's my arty farty buddy!! We were trying to hide our results away from... uhmm.. yeah. Top Secret!! I got to keep it up and improve on my skills still. There's always room for improvement:)

hmmm....I went to swim with Charmaine Tan at my pool last night since for careteam, there were only two of us. Came up with the idea to have a mini picnic dinner by the pool and so we did:) She was in town, so so so... she bought SUSHI and some prawny, sotong thing and potato salad. OH! Not forgetting our apple juice which replaced our favourite mango juice:) hah. It was so much fun just relaxing and talking as we swam up and down the pool. Thanks charmaine for dinner and mini outings. hahah!

Feels as though I'm going to doze off while studying with Camellia later.no! I'm not! Well, I should sleep more and all. Can't work properly when I feel all sleepy and lethargic. Highly irritating when that happens. Going to town or novena to study soon. Think I should go have some lunch and wash up. Will update soon:D

bend and break

2008-05-14T20:18:00.005+08:00

Had a pretty normal day today though lessons seemed like forever before 5pm came. Can't believe that the Chinese o levels are coming in 2 weeks time. Noooo,.Ahhh!!!

Exactly how my friends always said to me,, "Andrea, all you have to do is tokeep studying & pace yourself all the way till the end of o levels." Maybe I'll try doing just that. ( might be worth all that while).

Currently I'm really tired from the many hours of school, but surprisingly, I'm ok:) Chloe calls me a brown chipmunk now, while I, on the other hand call her a red chipmunk because I got a little tanner over the weekend, while she... hmmm... she got kinda burnt at Sentosa. How I missed my buddies in school.

Think I'll be looking at loads and heaps of chinese worksheets and words for the next two weeks. I'll be CHING-STONED:/hah. Alright, think I better get going now. Gonna eat some APPLES(:

music of the night.

2008-05-13T13:03:00.008+08:00

Yesterday was lots of fun. Met up with Charmaine.T at Vivo with my brother to go to Sentosa for sushi by the beach and to simply chill out. It actually started raining when we reached siloso beach for lunch, but somehow, the rain stopped. Sentosa is such a queer place. It rains and stops real fast. After lunch, we took a nice sunny stroll to the other end of siloso beach and sat on the sand facing the water, talked and laughed as we watched this little girl carry her little toy kettle to and fro just to make a sandcastle. Soaked up the sun and Charmaine's knees became mega red. hahah. Mine too. Shawn sat there and read his book.
___________________________________________________________________

We were there for about 4-5hours, then we headed over to city hall area for the VJC "Symphony of Voices" concert to support Irvin and Valmond since they were in the chorale. Sat in circle 2 which was quite high up, so we could distinctively see both of them, just like how Irvin spotted us from down there. Saw Joseph, Olivia and Basil after the concert. Funny thing was that all of us didn't know we were all going for the same thing. hahah. Had a good time though. How I wish every day could be like that. hahaha. Nah, then it would eventually be routine and would soon get boring.

Will be having long days for the next two weeks, due to the MT O'lvls which start on the 26th of May.
____________________________________________________________________
***Mum called Dad up yesterday and told him that she felt the whole building shaking due to the earthquake in SzeChuan. Heard the news today on radio on the way to school... I hope she's okay. Do pray for her and the people there too. She'll be back on Sunday morning, 25th May '08 @ 6:30am.

- can't wait for church camp:D
- love "The Leap Years" main song:D Such a sad song, but oh-so good. (here's the song for you to listen to.)
Some surprise

INEVITABLY

2008-05-10T00:09:00.011+08:00

MYEs ARE O-V-ERRRR!! *dances around, waves my hands in the air, like I just don't care.*

Overwhelmed by the amount of energy I have now, to play. hahah.
I'm tired, but energetic. (like, what!?) haha.
Art paper was *urk*. You should have seen the art girls before the art paper.
Sheryl was sleeping on the floor, Atiqah was just listening to awesome music on her psp while Steph and I were rushing to finish whatever leftover pieces of prep while waiting for the physics girls to be done.
Yawn*
I managed to pull through the past 3 weeks of papers with much help from God, the people around me and that nagging voice in my head which goes something like this, " ANDREA! Get yourself together!!! ". Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart which is already a bottomless pit. See? There's no end to it:D x10000
Interesting how at one moment, I felt so terribly awful & bitter by the poolside while studying, and the next thing I knew, a friend calls me up and ends up messaging me to check on how I was doing out of no where.
You have no idea how much this has an instant effect on me. Made my day to the maxmegasuperdupertrouper:D !!!
Been through so much lately, but I know it can't be as much as what someone else is or has already gone through. So, I can't complain right? Yeah, I can't:/
Besides, what is there to complain about when I've got everything.
I should be thankful that certain things occur for a reason.
They are afterall, part and parcel of His plan for me.
Gotta keep positive, gotta keep going on.
______________________________________________________________

Hmmm...
Going out with my bro to town tomorrow to celebrate a bit. Can't wait.
Good company means, good day(: ahaha!
Sushi at maybe sentosa with Charmaine.T on Monday will be whoppeedoo too:D Can't wait.(I've been saying this over)

Anyhoohow, I feel like going into a deep sleep now or something. Then I might forget all the awful things and remember only the good ones. Of course you should know by now that, I am a dreamer and noo... that can't happen or else I'll forget the difficult points of my life which got me here today. So, N-O no.

____________________________________________________________________
TUNE IN:

Steph and I were trying to figure some part of this song for my art prep today about music.
" Your Guardian Angel" -The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus-

More so, I've been listening to this song over and over again on my playlist on imeem because I think this version of "Always be my baby" done by David Cook sounds so much nicer than the original one. Love it<3 , and I know you all will too!(:

Doing that thing I do.

2008-05-08T13:36:00.006+08:00

ART PAPER LEFT!!! *does a groovy dance*.

CAN'T WAIT!!! *tries real hard to contain excitement*.

OH! THE STRESS THE STRESS OF ART PREP!

How to go crazy in ten days(haha):

1)STUDY with 6 hours of sleep.
2)STUDY STUDY with 5 hours of sleep.
3)KEEP ON STUDYING with only 4 & 1/2 hrs of sleep.
(ten days straight ok, don't cheat)

BLOG SHOP: JVA

2008-05-06T12:47:00.004+08:00

Setting up a blog shop with Van (A)nd Jan will certainly be lots of good madness(: Guess I'll be meeting up with them after mid years to think of a name.LOOK OUT FOR IT!!:D Can't wait till after O's. So many new things to look forward to. Sushi Dinner(before O's), Sony Ericsson, this new business and maybe Bali or Bangkok with some friends. Sigh...
Can't believe how three of us managed to stay this close after all this while, even though we went to different schools after PSLE. I say this for all my close primary school friends like, Eileen, Amos, Terence, Yong Kiat and Adriel. Truly warms my heart whenever I think about them.
Alright, I've gotta get back to my books, so so so... I'll leave you with the countdown for the end of my mid years(:
ST MARGARET'S SEC SCHOOL JUST TURNED AUTONOMOUS!!:D

Charmaine introduced this song to me & oh... it's so so good(:

2008-05-03T18:09:00.009+08:00

The weather has been so ...(what I call...) YUCKY *BLEAH* HUMID!! Feeling all sticky and gross... argh, I hate that feeling. Anyways, I'm left with my emath,chemistry, biology and art papers. Can't wait for FANTASTIC Friday to come:D WHOO!! Funny thing about the mid years is that, I'm feeling more motivated than ever to study harder for the prelims. ( Well, I will have to, but still... the feeling is oh-so-good.*thumbs up*)

Summary of my week:

Had papers from Mon-Wed.

Studied with Eileen after chemistry paper on Wed.

Stayed over Van's on tuesday night.
Made pancakes with Vanessa for breakfast on Labour Day.

Took some awesome pictures of the sky with my phone on the way home with Vanessa.

Went through a tiring week of non-stop mugging, and got a new bedside lamp from IKEA.

______________________________________________________________

Glad the week is almost over.

Looking forward to this coming week.

Trying to keep the positivity up.

Hmmm...
Since they all say that a picture speaks a thousand words, I'll just leave the photos to do the talking(:

2008-04-29T14:01:00.009+08:00

What if it started snowing in Singapore? Until this day, I'm still hoping that it'll snow in Singapore. Sigh... the thought of it. It will most definitely make my day if it did at this point of time. Sigh... white Christmas's', skiing, hot chocolate... Okay, snap out of it!!

maybe tomorrow...
but as for now, I can keep dreaming(haha)

Mid year attack.

2008-04-26T21:46:00.004+08:00

Mid years so far, have been eh... not too bad. Nothing great about it either. Been getting strange ideas of how Mr.A will kill me for my SBQ, but hey... at least I remembered that I had to add in those skills. Only had insufficient time to jot down every single thing into my paper.

Sigh sigh sigh, what a week. Mum came back on Thursday, only to leave early this morning, but hey... it was great to see her again. I mean, the house looks a whole lot cleaner with her around for just two days.hahaha. She brought back loads of stuff too. ahahah, super cute. I kept showing her my funny point everywhere movement. Cracked her up.Mum! I miss you.

Been going through my own struggles as well. I'm sure everyone is.
Only this week, was extremely draining and painful. It felt as if I was being stabbed a few times before the effect of that awful aching pain seeped in..Ahem.
Hopefully next week gets better. Maybe I should go jump into the pool and drown my sorrows away. ahahah, just kidding. No time to do that.

Argh, the awful sight of eyebags. 4-6 hours of sleep each day is NO GOOD. Makes you all tired easily. Anyways, I've been having good company in school and everywhere to cheer me up. Like messaging Charmaine Tan for instance. Was asking her about her day. Then we realised that our exams end around the sdame time, so we plan to hang out and celebrate a little after everythings' over. *excitement builds up*. Okay, I think I should go pack up my messy notes filled room now before I hit the bed. Night everyone.

p.s. will need people to hang out and destress with me after the mid years.

Juanita's 17th Affair

2008-04-18T17:54:00.004+08:00

Celebrated Juanita's birthday with the girls from 5/1 and Camellia yesterday at "FROLICKS" in Holland. Juanita KONG!!! ahaha, you can come to school with your acid green bedroom slippers now. ahahah. Kasey told me you were sleeping in class during recess. ahaha. Was wondering where you were today. Anyways, it's exactly one week to the mid years. argh. Hate it, but there's no choice right? shall upload the other pictures after Cam passes her memory card to me(;

Not unusually, my three buddies in class went a little *ahem* nutty after Math. Due to non-stop watching of some gay peanut man with a funny accent online ( I'm just as clueless about who this person is ok), my dear friends kept saying this.

" HIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE, I'm here to save the WORLD, aren't I fabuLOUSSS??":D

If I'm not wrong, it goes like this. Never mind. You get the idea. Repeat mode is not good. NOT GOOD AT ALL. hahaah. They made my day in school. Was pretty glum and unmotivated to speed up on my art work, but hey, Ethel and Cam were right beside me saying this line over and over and over. ahaha... Chloe joined in later after she met us in the canteen after F&N. Thanks for making me laugh so hard. Camellia!! Our botox reenactment. hahahah!!! Our cheeks were cramping like mad:D *Sigh* Thank you for making such a difference in my secondary education.

Went through a mentally, emotionally and physically draining week but I'm certainly looking forward to Mum coming home next Thursday and for Mid Years to be over. How time flies... it is Friday already.

something in your smile,

Andrea

"She positioned herself away from all the excited shouts of children and adults playing and ghetto blasters blaring out the latest chart songs. She found a quiet corner and made herself comfortable on her beach towel to avoid more contact with the burning sand. The waves crashed and fell. The seagulls called out to one another in the clear blue sky, flew down, dipped themselves into the cool, crystal water to catch their breakfasts. It was morning and already the sun was hot.

Holly carefull pulled the letter out of her bag as though it was the most delicate thing in the world and she ran her fingers along the neatly written word 'August'. Taking in all the sounds and smells of the world around her she gently tore open the seal and read Gerry's sixth letter... "

MID YEARS - NEXT FRIDAY.
Mum returning - NEXT THURDAY.
Juanita's Bday - Tomorrow.

The all-important day is drawing near.Sigh. Wish I could freeze time.
Met up with Jan and Van over the past few days. Being there for one another as usual. We've definitely been through a lot and time really tells all there is to know about a certain friend. Whether or not we can trust them or not. Anyways, Jan and Van are currently in the same JC, and they have decided to spend odd weeks with me because they finish school earlier on those weeks. hahaah. Had a HTH(heart to heart) session with them at my place after meeting them at Island Creamary after common test. Guess we're all facing different complicated situations now.
Hmmm... anywoos, Van and Jan, thanks for laughter, silence, being there whenever we get the chance to, and for building me up(:

I'm down with the fever and it sure is awful. Feel all gross and yucky.
Sony.E stuff is something else to take note of. We've put this off for now, since we're in the midst of this major year. Guess I still can't imagine all this happening yet. I'll let time slowly eat away my activites and all of that.

Life time goals:

- Go to Africa

- Be involved in at LEAST one fashion show.

- Do a few awesome collections of my own.

Yeah, sounds extreme and all, but I kinda want to do it some day. I mean, it's just like how everybody wants to achieve something sometime.Ah, perhaps. We'll see.
Going down to the pool side to study. Won't be updating any time soon, but do tag whenever(:

Extremely tired today. Maybe someone put a sleeping pill into my soy milk during recess. Was falling asleep everywhere.Frustrating and super irritating especially when I was trying to listen to the lesson but couldn't because half of the time, I'm fiddling with my pen so I'll wake up. Studied with Eileen at the market. Awesome stuff. I mean, cheap food, nice and quiet, every thing's good. Was telling Eileen of how I would rather be a downtown girl and enjoy the luxury of eating real Singaporean food, instead of being some uptown girl in a fancy posh restaurant sipping tea.lol. Yeah. History CT was alright today. Think some points were irrelevant, but ah...it's over.

Had a good dinner with Dad just now. After which, we went to the supermarket, this time, to buy some breakfast. Found him stacking up peanut packets in basket. ahahah!! Really missed those times when Daddy picked me off the ground and spun me round and round till I went all dizzy. He's a great Dad. Always hearing good stuff about him and how he helps people. I really have to learn from his example:)

Been studying and all. Making sure I don't start panicking later as it draws nearer to the Prelims. Go Andrea go!
Hmmm...

MANGO SPRING/SUMMER '08 CATWALK was...incredible!! Went with Kasey and it was really really glamorous. I mean, the white tent and the runway. Really look forward to the day I get the chance to work behind all that glitz and glamour. hahahh! Okay, that's just a dream I have in mind. I mean, seeing those pieces on the runway is a lot more different than seeing it on the racks and shelves. Would love to show you all the videos I took, but I only have some snapshots of the runway at the moment.

Not gonna write you a love song.

(Cheryl's 18th Present from me)

Stayed back in class for a short while with the F&N girls and some of the 5/1 girls today. Chinese and math... two subjects I currently can't stand at this point of time. I really like Andrea Goh's April fools story. " You look like my dead daughter..." AHAHAHAH!! Cam and I kept laughing like mad. Laughed so hard, we cried ok. hahaha!! Couldnt even walk properly.

"Love song" by Sara Bareilles is the song of the day. Thanks to Liyana who was singing it while I was trying to complete my Chinese work. Think everyone is starting to go a little funny in the head.Wonkyyy.

Anyways, I went for a early dinner with Eileen after our chinese intensive thing at Bukit Timah market. Ate popiah. WHOO!! It was reallllllllllyyyyyeeee good to talk to her and just reminisce the good old days in peihwa and how we were so close to our friends in pri school till this day. Like where we planned to go after the O's and all. I really appreciate all her love and concern. Good friends like her, what else can anyone ask for? Awesome how she has been such a good friend and not forgetting my first friend I ever made since primary one!! *thumbs up for Eileen!* Yeah... Really happy. really am. Okay, time to run over to my room and continue doing work. pff.... Care team at Mad Jack tomorrow!(:

can't walk a straight line, even if I wanted to.

Hung me on the line.

2008-04-02T20:28:00.007+08:00

Somehow, somewhere, everywhere, I keep singing the same song over and over in my head. "Maybe I'm amazed" by Jem. Remembered hearing it while watching 'The O.C' Hmm... strange.

Right now, at this point of time. There seems to be a million and one things on my mind. Some of which, I don't think are important.*guilty face*. Sigh, I guess this is how I tell that I am perfectly normal and my brain has not overheated itself. There are many things I would like to change now. Believe me when I say that. Like the things I've said before, things I've done before, things I should never be thinking of. Well, at least not at this point of my life. Yet, I feel that if I had never gone through those life changing experiences, I would not have been able to handle those various situations I've been in. Like looking at people into the eyes so I'll look more confident, though I am shaking inside. hahaha!!! At least during interviews I do that. lol.

I want so many things, but I know I can't hold them all at the same time...

oh man... I really need to sort things out. At least I'm not the only one needing to do this. I need to stay calm. Breathe and let go.

to a certain friend whom I'm talking to now,
this is for you(: I love you ok?

Everything in its time - Corrinne May

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead

How long till my hunger is fed

They say it's hard to make it in this part of town

So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology,

Some turn to crystal balls,

To find an answer,

To get through it all just fall on my knees and I try to pray

In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides

Out to the ocean and under the sky

I promise you, the answer will come

Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind

Somebody must have moved that finish line

There are a thousand reasons

Why I should give up

But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides

Out to the ocean and under the sky

I promise you, the answer will come

Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan

One I still can't see

A little surprise, like your love in my life

Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides

Out to the ocean and under the sky

I promise you, the answer will come

Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

Everything in its time

every beat of my heart

Baby in the pram

2008-03-26T17:05:00.006+08:00

Story for today:

(The still BABY IN THE PRAM)

After school at Serene's...

Andrea: Hey, look at the baby in the pram. He's so still.
*baby remains in the same position with the pacifier in his mouth*
Camellia: Where?
Andrea: There...*looks over to the pram*
Camellia: *Looks over and laughs hysterically non-stop*
Andrea: *Laughs along*
Camellia: (stabilizes)
*the baby pram was pushed behind us*
Andrea: (turns around for a sec)

Andrea: Hey Cam, maybe it isn't the baby, but the pram. I mean, look at the pram...
Camellia: (looks at the baby in the pram of which he has sunken into, *pauses* and continues laughing.)
Andrea: *laughs together with her, this time... we laughed till we cried*

*************************************************************************************
Ethel: *Munching on her Mcwings* Hey, ever wondered what babies think about?
Andrea: Um... " Where am I?", " It's so hot in this pram..."?
Camellia: *Laughs a little*
Ethel: Don't know what's so funny about that baby in the pram
-_-*looks at us weirdly*
Andrea: Let's just stone.* licks yummy ice cream*
Ethel: Okay, let me try. *tries and suddenly looks enlightened*
Cam&Andy: *laughs at her reaction*.
********************************************************************************
I know, I know. IT WAS REALLY ANTI CLIMAX at the end, but really... the baby was awfully cute:D

Anyways, Ethel was finished with her Mcwings even before Camellia who got her ice cream earlier. For myself, I have this tendency to eat real fast, so I finished much earlier than the two girls. Ethel calls it relishing her food:)ahaha. Hanging out with them for just an hour was uber duper fun. Nice simple and gooOOd clean fun:D Now, it is back to the bio...

thought of the day:
If I had to go overseas, I'll have to eat all the local foods before I leave.

Close to insanity.

2008-03-25T17:09:00.004+08:00

Kept dozing off during Chinese period today. Today was the super late recess day. By the end of Math, I was flat on the table. hahah. Steph and her funny water polo stories. hahaha!! Really L-O-V-E my classmates. They are most definitely an interesting bunch. Stayed back a while with Chloe, Bhavani, Camellia, Valentina and Hew Mun. We kept singing the "1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive..." song. hahaha!!:D I totally agree with what one of my classmates said. " DON'T JOIN ART!!" We're going close to insanity from trying to finish those 25 drawings, 25 good photos, artist reference, interpretation and mind map.

Though, I must agree with Sha Nin that this year seems to be going faster than how we imagined. And and and, we can't wait for it to be over... or rather for next year to come. Hmm... as for now, I'll just focus on the brighter side of this increasingly insane task. *smiles happily*. Afterall, if all my other friends could do it, why can't I? *speaks in a more serious and determined tone*:D
There's guests coming over for dinner tonight at my place, so I think I should go get ready and get going. To Chloe: hahaha. I'm so glad you ran away just now. Wasted trip eh?:D Thanks for the ride home.

Sigh, what a day. *Leans head on the wall*
p.s. I want to go to the Caribbean now...

be brave

2008-03-20T19:19:00.002+08:00

Blogger has been giving me problems...
Lots has been going on. Realised the reality of O levels only yesterday when I looked up at our class board. Now, it is 67 days to MT O Levels. Whooshhh... Time just sweeps past your face.
Not too long, I'll look at myself in the mirror and see wrinkles. hahah. OK, fast forwarding too fast. haha.
Dad is making it an effort to cook today. HOORAY!! Camellia was really nice today. She wrote a super sweet sugar letter to me attached with a poem. I love you too Camellia!! I'm not too sure about what I'll be doing for the next few weeks, but I do know it will be filled with Art,art,MATH, art,CHINESE, art,MATH, art...Social Studies.. Chemistry. Ahhh... So many things. Just hope I can finish it all by the given dateline. Madness I tell you. Pure madness. I'll like to say " I am coping." again, but no... I'm not anymore. I'm on full speed mode.
The weekend is packed and my books are out. Shawn and I had a good talk on courses I might be interested in. Hmm... Received a letter from my cousin in Australia, Chevelle, yesterday. Thank youu for the letter(: I know you'll read this. We'll write back to you as soon as possible(:
These few days, I've been doing work, doing housework, meeting new problems and what not.
But I'm glad that every time I look over my shoulder, I see my bible. Believe me, it does wonders just by picking it up. More surprisingly, I've been doing quiet time despite the busyness. Best thing about this week, was that I realised I'll never be the only one with problems, or with the worst problems. So, I figured I just had to ask Him for strength and protection, encounter the storms of life, face it and conquer it.

" Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. " -Matt 11:28-

I hope the missing goes away...

TCC with Janelle.13th Mar 08

2008-03-14T10:58:00.010+08:00

Had great fun with Janelle yesterday at dinner. Especially after a whole day's work of cleaning the house and doing some work here and there. I actually got to spend some nice quality time with my best friend, Janelle, at TCC ( The Coffee Club) @ Holland.V. My yummy miso soft shell crabby... mhmm. The waiter at TCC was funny:/ ahahah. My umbrella was soaking wet when I walked up the stairs..Anywhooos, we went to "Frolicks" nearby as well to have yummy super duper ice yogurt. WHOOSh. Added those colourful Flinstone Pebble Cereal in mine, and as for Jan, she added Oreo toppings. Even got a cool badge from that place. ahaha. Shawn was clueless when I showed him the badge.I love the high chairs and the high tables. I remembered the table having the words "EAT ME!" on it. hahah. Awesome stuff!(: Didn't take any photos of our good ice yogurts. hahah. Never mind, another time perhaps.

After Holland, I went over to Jan's place to chill out and watch "The Lake house". Hiding under the blanket cause it was so cold and all. The storyline was pretty good. Thought the lake house was super nice.sigh... Ok ok, maybe I'm just imagining too much about how nice it would be to live there. Secluded and away from everything. ahahah! Enough already. Jolene has changed so much over the years, and as for Jan's brother, he's still the same. Just that this time, he couldn't recognise me. Always asking me the same question when I see him. "Did you change your hairstyle?" And my standard answer would be. " No... I didn't I just cut my fringe." hahah.Love Jan's family. Their strangely like mine, just with one family member more. Better go do my work now before my whole morning is wasted daydreaming/morning dreaming.

the lake house....

cancelled/postponed sports day.

2008-03-07T10:34:00.009+08:00

After much practise for cheerleading, sports day was CANCELLED/POSTPONED yesterday. haahha. Elsa, Steph, Cam stayed over at my place on thurday night, and cabbed to Bishan Stadium early in the morning. -_-Then, it started raining not too long after we were gathered in our different houses. Well, it wasnt so bad cause all of us in Tolley cheer had so much fun getting ready for the competition.

To glenda, amanda, brenda, dione, sharmila, ariel, ferjanna, namirah, madihah, nisa, and last but not least, elsa, love you all for working so SO hard. Very proud of you all!! Maybe sports day will be postponed. I don't know. One things for sure, the drama (in general, failed to state) is over. lol. Cheer politics are quite terrible sometimes. But oh wellos, that's it for today and it's over. whew. Took pictures with my classmates with my awesome handydandy fujifilm camera. Will try to post it on my blog as soon as I develop those pics(: Cam came over to my place to rest. We were dozing off on the sofa. hahah. In the end, she went home and I stayed home. Had a slight fracture in my left arm due to the great fall on thurday morning. haha. Remembered Sharmila being so scared to let herself go during the stunts. hahah, but I'm okay. No biggy. Ms Poh was saying something about how we'll all be very sad during the farewell ceremony for graduating classes.. says she wants to go when we all go. I mean c'mon, she's been teaching us since sec 2.haha.I'll miss camellia, chloe, ethel, juanita and eileen most I think. Well, we'll see how it goes. I should go study now. NO way I'm going to fail the next test.

the view here is...

Reading old emails.

2008-03-01T10:39:00.004+08:00

Was reading old emails last night and came across this part of an email which said,

" Once you embark on a voyage,

you must throw your all into it.

You can't catch the wind with the sails

and keep looking back at how far you've left the shore

and then you'll see that you're lost."

Made a lot of sense to me. Think about it...

missing mum

Andrea

Touch it. (singing in my head)

2008-02-27T18:54:00.003+08:00

2008-02-22T22:45:00.006+08:00

I am one tired girl,

Really sleepy now.
Was watching Kaba Modern to get inspiration for good moves.

2008-02-12T21:46:00.000+08:00

Photos from class, fashion parade and class steamboat at my place. If you want to see the video of the fashion parade, go to stephanieyeo's blog and check it out. Was doodling on people again. Mainly, ShaNin, Hannah and Bhavani.haha. Human canvas is awesome. Ooo, valentine's day is coming. Uh...have no clue as to what I'll come up with for the class. Uhhh...still have no clue. Going out with Cam and Syam tomorrow since we have half day due to the good o level results. WHOOYAY! Of course, I'll come home and study. I'm so tired now. Think I'll get back to my room. Saw a cockroach just now!! So, I ran out and ran back into the computer room once the coast was clear.hahah. Was scaring myself out cause it looked kinda silvery green. Think there's something wrong with my eyesight.*shrugs shoulders. Oh no, can't post certain pics. ARGh. I'll post them soon.

Gelare's

2008-01-28T16:51:00.000+08:00

Went out on Saturday to watch 27 dresses and then ate at Gelare with Janelle. Aw man, I missed her so much. Have not been able to catch up with her since FOREVER. Okay, maybe I met up with her before the new year at the new year's gathering with van and the guys, but still... did not get to talk much there either. Had a great time on Friday night too.. with my careteam. Cupcakes for Gareth and Melanie and balloons from Ivan and myself. Was comical bringing those balloon back mans. hahah. Visited Chen Yi on Sunday afternoon before 6pm with Charmaine, Chen Ting, Judith, Irvin, Basil, Ryan and Shawn. Hope he gets well soon. So, GET WELL SOON CHEN YI! Yeah... we bought him a tablet helium balloon which said "Get well soon." *nods head. Yes. I think I've started having an obsession with helium balloons. Perhaps when Valentine's Day comes, there will be more balloons involved. lol. hahah. Okay... enough of balloons. Think I should stop procrastinating and start drawing out the revision timetable I was supposed to do LAST WEEK. ai yo yo.

Went with Kasey, Sam, Elsa, Syamirah, Liyana, Jane and Raihanah to watch Gamar's tennis match. But, we were kind of too late because we had chem test till um...3:50pm. Sorry gummy bear, we'll try to watch you play on Friday k? It started drizzling, so we decided to go to Beauty World to get the materials for the chinese new year fashion parade thing. Yup. Going to be making it with Cam and our model is going to be Steph. That's if she's able to do a quick change backstage because she's dancing as well. Pff. Um, went home after that with Sam and we were talking about interesting stuff. hahah. Got home, and decided to eat that cereal cookie thing my mum bought back. Went online to check out the courses and entry requirements for Lasalle and NAFA. I better work hard this year. No more slacking Andrea Li Wei Ying!! Okay, I'm going off to do my work. Will update when I can.

SCREAM AND SHOUT

2008-01-23T18:08:00.000+08:00

really REALLY... want to sleep... I'm so tired, BUT there's work to do.-_- *sniff.

HATE IT.... but I have to do it. WANT THE WORK TO STOP COMING IN..., but obviously... that won't be happening anytime soon in my life. Hmm... Think I'm just going to end today's entry with this funny conversation my brother and his school friend had with the taxi driver on their way home two days back. This taxi driver used to be a fashion designer in the 80s, or so he claims. hahaha.

(It starts off with the taxi driver thinking that KAP is Serene Centre and Serene Centre is KAP) Got that? Okay, here goes.

taxi.d: (points to KAP) Eh! Isn't that Serene Centre!?

mybro&friend: Nooo... It's KAP.

taxi.d: No... that one is Serene Centre

mybro&friend: No, it's KAP uncle.

taxi.d: oh no. The wonder people call me the worst taxi driver.

my bro: Oh..hai, you're not.

taxi.d: So where you want me to stop?

my bro: The bus stop in front.

taxi.d: Huh!? You don't live at KAP meh?

my bro: No, I dont' live there, I live there. (points at my house)

taxi.d: Ooh... That one is Sherwood...Sherwood....

my bro: Sherwood Towers.

taxi.d: Isn't that where Robin Hood lives?

my bro: NO....

taxi.d: Oh ya, he lives in Sherwood Forests.

mybro&friend: (laughs at the backseat)

taxi.d: (pauses)... whatever...-_-

and for the rest of the ride, my brother and his friend were trying to control their laughter. So this ends my entry for today. I want to watch a movie.... I want to watch a movie. Okay, I'm off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz. Just kidding. Going to do my work. ARTTT... it's killing me.

OH YEAH, and I was supposed to blog yesterday about this, but I guess today I'm blogging. So... HAPPPPPYYYYY 16 BIRTHDAY MELANIEEEEE!!(:

Andrea

Our hearts are with you.

2008-01-21T17:10:00.000+08:00

Lots of things to think about today. About life being so brittle... funny thing, I just talked about it before I heard about the news to a friend this morning on the way to school. To my classmate who just lost her loved one, I'm sorry for your lost and I hope you remain strong and brave for him.

I feel slightly shaken by the fact that things come and go so quickly. That life itself is so unpredictable and yet we still take it for granted. Many times, I find myself taking the people around for granted. I'll admit that I do. I get upset and down when the weight of my struggles pull me down. I am guilty for all the horrible things I've done and though I've asked for forgiveness, I can never really get rid of the scars left on me. I guess they serve as reminders. Because it is only when I look at those scars, I am reminded what not to do, what to take note of and avoid.
As time goes by, I start to have a better understanding of why I do the things I do, and somehow... I'm getting a clearer view of my purpose in life. That everything happens for a reason.

Yeah... my mum screams at me a lot, but I can never get enough of saying " I love you" to her.
My dad makes silly comments sometimes, but I don't want him to stop making those funny laughter worthy jokes. My brother disturbs me with that little white bear, but now... if I ask him to go away, I'll be too afraid to say that. Too afraid I'll never get to laugh with all of them, or be able to look at them again...
Then again, somewhere deep within me, I know that when the time comes where I have to stop looking at them and stop laughing with them, I'll still be able to see them again soon. I know it.

And all those struggles I am facing now and later, I'll get through them. I will because I have Him.

holding on-

KEEPING IT IN MIND.

2008-01-20T21:31:00.000+08:00

There's always someone better, someone working harder than you.

I guess to me, there's no point comparing standards with my other classmates, really. We're all made differently and we hold different purposes in this life. Work hard, don't give up. That's what I'll do for now.

A pile of lies.

2008-01-17T19:33:00.000+08:00

Went for the A.S interview today with Elsa and Jessie. It went quite well I thought. Especially Elsa! hahah. She finished our whole interview with a whole heap of crazy stuff. Anyways, I was so so so SUPER DUPER tired today. My eyes were like closing throughout the whole day. (of course not during the interview). Um... Have lots of work to finish. Oh, I smell seaweed. Why do I smell seaweed? (sniffs in the air). Weird...-_-.
Hmm...I'll be going to IKEA on Sunday after church to get my desk I think. I need one fast. Only because I can't do my work properly now. haha. Wellos, I think I should run along and get started on my work.

5N2 Notice Board

2008-01-13T16:04:00.000+08:00

So so so, I've been staying back the last few days of school to finish up the board. (not everyday, but almost). My neck really hurt when I was done with it. Anyways, here's how the board I did looks. Going to do my work. *skips off.

English Lessons.

2008-01-07T17:13:00.000+08:00

" I felt jealous of Sally's looks. I kept thinking about her face. She had beautiful eyes (almond-shaped mesmerizing eyes that stared deep into others) Endowed with flawless porcelain skin, I can imagine her never having bought even one tube of pimple cream." -starting paragraph-

" In these fantasies, I tore through her skin to rip out her heart. I watched as her eyes glazed over and the light faded from her eyes... walking off with a slight giggle." -Chloe-

" She was checking her sleek, serum-fed hair in the full length mirror around the corner... I wanted to suck the life out of her to the point she became a wrinkled old prune... colour would have left her naturally blushed cheeks and there would be a section of overgrown fringe falling into her irritated eyes." -Andrea-

Wondering what all this is about? Well, during english today, we had to write something starting with " I felt jealous...". Yes I know, Chloe's one was rather deep but hey, I thought she expressed jealousy in this context really well. I liked my wrinkled old prune part. Actually imagined it in a more comical way. Like my fairytale story books with those ugly villians. hahah!

Got my O level Art paper today as well. Topics were really REALLY strange. Let me list it out for you to see.
1) Traditional and modern
2) Foreshortened
3) Water's edge
4) Stacked
5) Sightseers
6) Contours

Hmm... so I've been thinking and thinking and ... thinking. There's this funny voice in my head telling me not to take too long to think. hahah. Oh wellos, I'll get back to you all when I've decided. Camellia seems keen on questions (4) & (6). I currently like (3) & (2). heehee.okay toodles(:

back to school. 5N2

2008-01-03T15:27:00.000+08:00

So, I'm back in my polka dots and feeling old in school. (literally) I walk around school and some things look different. Like the old rectangular canteen chairs and tables have turned into round tables with purple seats. Hmmm... strange. Walk into class and there are only 28 of us. Feels kind of empty and somewhat airy.hahah. First day of school was not too bad.

As I write my name, class and date on my notes, I have to remind myself to write 5N2 instead of 4N8.(Think that's always a problem every year.lol) School rules are still the same, of course, with some new funky additions. Like, "students are not allowed to post pictures of themselves wearing school attire on their blogs.". So yeah... one of those interesting but weird rules made. Umm hmmm, found out new stuff about some of my classmates. Just the USUAL stuff. Of what they did during the holidays and other STUFF.

Chinese was horrible. M.C wanted some of us to drop CL and take CLB, but really...she could have said it in a nicer tone. Ultimately, it's our choice right? Sigh. Ate miso soup while Cam ate some Japanese rice thing after school. Still need to buy my EMath textbook but currently, it's out of stock... . Got to wait till the books come in. The point is... school's been fine. Great to see familiar faces and all. Guess it's really about the people you see in school everyday that makes school more approachable. haha. Shall end here now. Will update soon. For now, I'll go do my HOMEWORK.

-joie de vivre-

Youth Mission Trip 2007(Tuao)

2007-12-21T21:26:00.000+08:00

WE'RE BACK!!!(: Received good news about my N level results too. Words just can't express the joy in my heart now. Thank you Lord, for everything...everything.

2 more days. To Tuao

2007-12-10T13:27:00.000+08:00

MISSION TRIP!! WE'RE COMING!!(:

ahah.. seriously seriously.-izzy's line in grey's. Before I leave, i'll post some of the recent pictures that was taken during the past few weeks. Been getting this missing kind of feeling for some of my friends. Jan, Cam, Eileen, Van, Chloe, Ethel, KAP gang!, classmates and outside friends. MIss you all so so uber duper super MUCH! Hmmm. funny feeling. Strange. Will be going off soon!! Very excited. Wednesday flight, 8am(will be there from 6:20am). Will be back on the 21st of Dec, Friday. Do come and see us off if you can.(:

the show must go on. the day i found out.

2007-12-02T22:46:00.000+08:00

It does not matter, I'll kill them all!!!

(just a line I hear from my brother's tv show on MGM)

By the way, I feel like I should kill every thought I'm having now. Like in those cartoons where a thought bubble appears and someone pops it! Yup, like that. It's crazy. To think that every year, new problems arise and you still have not finished solving the old ones. Frustrating....

CRAZZYYYEEE, I'M GOING CRAZYEEEEEEEEE I TELL YOU!!! I want to pull my hair now, (but that's not very good for my hair roots...so I'd rather not risk it). Mum says we're moving back in on Wednesday. For now, I'm trying to fill up my one and only free day, which is tomorrow, Monday. Jan's busy with work, Van's in Australia and Cam is MIA. I've been sitting in the small room thinking of devotions for my trip to Tuao. I'll be praying for this trip and the youth camp. For now, I'm tired... my eyebags are increasingly getting worse and my headache is making me feel whoozy. Think I should turn in soon.

the show must go on

Andrea

Moving Back In Soon.

2007-11-26T13:16:00.000+08:00

(Shawn took this picture for his project)

So oh oh, will be moving back HOME soon. Can't wait!

(has an extremely excited face on) haha!! Everythings going to be new to me and I'll definitely have to get used to it all. Heaps of things have been going on. Feels as if I've got a whole bunch of sweets in my hands. (whooo..) Except, some things arent very sweet. Hmmm. Anyways, I'll update you all when I'm back home again and more or less settled down. I miss the pool so much. The nice blue water and the huge umbrellas with my friends by the pool with me.Sigh. BUT but but, I'll be back soon with pictures and new surprises!!

My 16th Affair!

2007-11-23T10:24:00.000+08:00

THE 16th AFFAIR

@NYDCtheHeeren&TheFullerton

Lost without you-Robin Thicke

2007-11-22T19:16:00.000+08:00

Wait a minute!

2007-11-16T14:34:00.000+08:00

Yawn... been sleeping late, waking up late, the usual holiday routine. haha!! I've yet to post up the pictures, but I've got things to finish up first. Plus, I can't find the usb port. heh-_- I'll find it!! I'll find it!! I'm quite sure about it. So don't worry. The birthday pictures will come out soon(:

toss and turn.

2007-11-12T16:32:00.000+08:00

Really Really tired out. Not quite sure why.
Maybe it's due to all the recent events. Birthdays, moving house,
personal struggles and upcoming activities. I know I'm drained.
I know I've got Him, but really... how far will I go to pick myself off from the
floor and start doing something about it. What I want now, is to rearrange
old settings and see a different side of things.
Right now, I just feel like spinning round and round the computer chair.
Maybe for another minute. So while I'm spinning, I can think properly
in the blurrrrr of things. I need that now. Sometimes, I just want to
buy an air ticket to somewhere quiet and just be alone for a while.
Lay in the middle of a corn field or something, and just be merry like a kid
again. That would be great.
But, I know I can't run. It's too small a place to run about in. Someone will find me,
and someone would be reality.
So, I'm turning my eyes away from what I want to see infront of me, and I'm
going to walk towards what I should be thankful for because in that reality,
there's family, friends and all those who care about me. He gave that to me.
I shouldnt complain. I mean, c'mon... I made myself a promise. Live each day like it's the
last. Things don't always go the way I want them to, because I'm not perfect. I just need to try, so at least I know that I've put in effort.
Oh, and I must must must thank everyone who celebrated my 16th birthday with me and
showered me with lots of gifts,cards and love(:

andrea

HAPPY 16th!!!

Anyways,I've been taking care of my unhappy eye and doing my daily sketches and to-do-list. Havent seen Dad in a while. He seems busy. Mum too. Went with Shawn to IKEA for dinner and saw Melanie Tan with her mum and dad there. She bought the $1.20 ice cream!! Ooo, and my brother and I helped two people today!! A good achievement indeed. Uh.. yup. Well well, I'll be celebrating my birthday with Kenneth and my careteam on Friday night. Hopefully the swell on the eyelid will subsideby then.*sniffsniff. Janelle!! I promise I'll celebrate my birthday with you sometime after my actual birthday alright? Was so happy to hear from you last night. Believe me, I've got to pour out some random stuff to you. Go ahead with your manicure alright? Maybe with your sister or something. Oh, and I must thank Chloe for keeping my books for me cause I can't collect them just yet. You're a doll!! Camellia!! I'll find a day to hang out with you, Chloe and Ethel for birthday celebrations. Alright, that's all I have for today. Gotta go put that stinging eye drop. ARGH!!! NOOOoooooo....

AnDrea(:

MOVED IN!!!

2007-11-01T17:04:00.000+08:00

Upcoming template for Novemeber/December 07.

RAWRRRR!!!! The crazy blogger site just deleted my draft. pff.

Anyhoos, I've moved in to Tua Yee's house!! There are just a "FEW" boxes in the living room. Heehee. (psss... they look kinda like mini mountains)

Have not updated in a while cause I've been too lazy to type out everything that's been happening. Umm, I've been busy with school and headstart tests. Seriously tiring.

Realised that every morning when I wake up from the draw bed, I find this question in my head " Why am I going to school?" Then I answer myself saying " That's because you want to be able to take design when you grow up and you need this." hahaah. Yes yes, I know... I talk to myself plus reply myself. (I am not weird). Hmmm... Been juggling between school and outside stuff.

Trying to memorise the lyrics for mission trip songs, trying to finish the youth camp poster while doing homework and tryin to compile the youth camp booklet as well.

Wow, lots of trying in there huh? What to do?:/

At least I'm still alive and well.

*POP* (an idea just came into mind).

"Struggle is something we make to sound as horrible, but what if we stopped having that mentality and just moved along with it as it comes? Won't that be so much easier?"

BE AS ONE with the struggle. Make it look small so it won't even look like a struggle. hahahah!! Okay enough.

In my playlist when you scroll down is the song Ethel and I have been looking for. Really enjoy listening to it. Especially at night. The artist is " Feist ", and the song is called " 1, 2, 3, 4 ". Yes it is:D Enjoy!!! OH! Tomorrow will be Charmaine Tan's birthday. Remember to wish her!!!(:

It starts in my toes.

2007-10-26T12:07:00.000+08:00

Counting down to the number 16

Counting down to the number 16!!

MOVING HOUSE in a jiffy.

2007-10-25T22:17:00.000+08:00

MOVING HOUSE ON THE 27TH OCTOBER 2007!!!

Excitement is building up!!:D*sings a funny tune.

WHOOO!!

Can't wait cause the boxes are making a big big MESS and I keep sneezing from all the dust!!

WHOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm going back to the start.

2007-10-17T15:30:00.000+08:00

Today in History, I learnt that the COLD WAR has something to do with JAMES BOND and MACDONALDS!!! hahhah. Kept laughing with Camellia during class. Camellia bought a cool pink doughnut scotchtape thingy today while we were at Serene Centre. I have jelly tots in my pocket now. Been drowning myself in them since just now. (I shared with Ethel and Cam:D)

Just called Janelle for a short while just now to check on how's she's doing since now is her study leave. Think she's going crazy from it just like how I did. Anyways, school made me think of what I really want to do after Secondary school life. Fashion? Inventing? Something? I'm really confused now. Been thinking of what I should do to my life. All I know, is that if I want to do what I want to do, I really have to step up soon and go all the way for it. I'm unsure about the N level results, but I've left it to Him quite awhile ago. Cherms talked to me in school today too. I think she's feeling a tinch doubtful about the results. Or maybe a lot. I really think she can make it through to 5N2, but I guess we all can't always be sure about ourselves sometimes. Argh, school has never been the best topic to talk about but we can't escape it. Right?:(

We've all grown a little stronger and a little more hopeful after the N levels, but I know we're still getting the uneasy vibe about it. I could see it in the eyes of my classmates. Especially while Mr.A was talking to us yesterday during SS. Which point are you on. The tension is on and I know it'll take a while before O levels really really really sinks into my preoccupied brain. Sigh, this stinks!! Hmm, let go and let Him. YES! Something I have to be in good terms with before doing anything. So many things seem to be going on.

BIRTHDAY PLANS:

Will be turning 16 soon and actually, it ain't such a big thing. I remember being the little girl who couldnt sleep the night before her birthday.HAHAH!

I told my mum and my aunt about how I would love to spend it. Would most probably hang out with my close friends on the 8th of November(the day I was supposed to be born on) and spend the 9th with Janelle if she does not have any papers on that day and on the 10th, my birthday itself with my FAMILY. Already hinted that I wanted a surprise homecooked dinner and movie. I really love my family. So much till I can't stop smiling to myself everytime I think of all the madness we've been through for the past 16 years:D I can't believe it. Really. Time constantly is something I always look back on. How it flies! Anyways... I leave the bottom line for my 4/7 and 4/8 friends to dwell on.

Are you at point 'D' or point 'B'? - Mr.A

How bad do you want to pull through-----------

spread my wings

2007-10-15T10:31:00.000+08:00

HOLS ARE DONE DEE DUM:(

2007-10-14T23:23:00.000+08:00

I"LL POST THE REST OF THE N LEVEL PREP WORK LATER.

This is REAL.

2007-10-05T00:36:00.000+08:00

Yes I know its crazy. I'm blogging at past 12am only because I still can't sleep and I just felt like writing something about anything. Like how my History paper was pretty good except for Ques 3(b) about Japan and China. Screwed that one up but ah... who cares, it's over. Hmm, I really enjoyed finishing my art paper on Wednesday though. Felt good about it, but you never know. Hate it that I always have to expect the unexpected. Hate it hate it hate IT!!! Anyways, I do know that some of my friends start from this Friday onwards or next week onwards. All the best to all those taking the exams this coming week:D

Celebrated my brother's birthday just now because we didn't get to celebrate it because I had exams(his actual bday was on the 2ND of Oct). Was at NTU Alumni Club singing our hearts out. Yes, Shawnie was good at those jazzy hits.ahaha. Where else I was busy singing Michelle Branch's songs. Of which were apparently anon to the ears of my parents and my aunt. hahaha! Well, yeah. Been doing a lot of thinking today(actually, it's yesterday). Yup.. Well I'll share some interesting thoughts next week when my real break starts(:

play pool with daddy is cool
Andrea's done with sec 4
oh no! it's coming to 1am. bye

the song i'm in love with now(;

2007-10-04T17:27:00.000+08:00

This music video is by Melee called " Built to last".

Songs that I've been singing in my head during papers.

2007-10-03T17:51:00.000+08:00

Just some songs I've been singing in my head during my papers(: ahaha:D Sitting for the last paper tomorrow!!

One more paper to go.-History

2007-10-03T17:11:00.000+08:00

paper one: Math.

2007-10-01T10:08:00.000+08:00

Let me tell you how I feel right now..Hmm... extremely TERRIFIED!!! haha.. nah, not that extreme, but still a tiny bit scared. I guess it's because of the numbers. They really scare the madness out of me. Till the papers are all over, I'll update again(: Wish me all the best.

Picking up lost jelly beans.

2007-09-30T17:03:00.000+08:00

I'm tired. Really really tired. Can't believe the study "break" is over. I'm left with the crazy days ahead where I have to sit in the design studio and throw out whatever relevant knowledge that I have in my poor brain.
Anyways, I was becoming rather jittery after service because suddenly it all hit me that N levels start again tomorrow.
But good thing, Charmaine and Irvin were around to remind me that this is just the N levels.. A very small part of my education life in Singapore.So whew...-_-" I'm really glad to have such people around in my life. Dropping little reminders here and there that this really, is just a small part of me. I'm calmer now. Thought today's bible class was quite interesting. About "LOVE". What is it really? Is it something we've all picked up over the movies? Simply just a symbol of a heart? Or is it something much deeper than that? Well, I'll be thinking about it over this week. Anyways, I should be going back to the books. So I'll leave today's entry with a verse:

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." Romans 12:9

song playing in Andrea's head : Fix You by Coldplay

until the dawn brings me another song to sing about~

2007-09-25T21:51:00.001+08:00

Tonight, I see the full moon. Pretty big thing huh?. In the day, I was studying at kap with Janey brainy. She's the funniest. She kept complaining that it was so hot when I met her there. hahah! Jane you crack me up with the "dengdengdeng" moments. When we walked in, we met steph and elsa. So, we were sitting next to them throughout the day. Had 5 min walks to cold storage when we got tired and steph created some funny way of walking. So Jane and I watched Elsa and Steph walk funnily along the aisles.Lol. Anywayees, I'm really brain dead now. Like brain-stoned.seriously. Hmm. Managed to draw some stuff and studied history. It's one boring subject I must say. I was thinking of why I'm studying history in the first place and realised that, if everybody in the world were contented with what they already have and stop wanting more, then maybe there won't be wars and all that complicated treaties. Argh, just hate it!!

Soo-o-o, I left kap at about 6:50pm? Had home cooked food at home cause my aunty cooked for us today(: TUA YEE!!! I LOVE YOU LOTS FOR COOKING THOSE UNEXPECTED MEALS!!:D( of course I love you for other things too. hehee) Well well, I'm tired and I feel almost burnt out from this school year. hai hai hai. It's been a long day!!(: Made up my mind about something this afternoon too. Realised that it just won't do reconsidering it in my head over and over again. It gets draggy and distracting thinking about what to do. Remembered the last few days being so cloudy. I should be alright. I'll be alright I mean. I hope all my classmates are studying hard.

I keep singing "High" by James blunt in my head. It's a new start tomorrow.

it's a different kind of beautiful dawn tomorrow-

and I've stopped chasing time-

I'll hurry up and it'll be chasing me-

Andrea~

Take my fear.

2007-09-24T20:37:00.000+08:00

So I'm just squeezing in some time to blog about something. The bird picture you see up there is one of Camellia's prep drawings and I think it's awesome stuff. Except, it was incomplete in that picture. Right... -_-.

Anywhoowayss, I was studying on my own in the afternoon downstairs at the poolside and wahh.. I felt super productive studying there ok. Firstly, there was nobody to distract my train of thoughts only till about... maybe around 6pm? The weather was really cool and breezy, therefore it made things all that much condusive for studying. And and and, I actually did two math papers.WHOOYAY!! Um... finished my second page for art too. Lol.. as I'm typing all this, I'm starting to realise that I did quite a fair share of things today. YAY ANDREA!! * pats herself on the back. hahahaha! I seldom finish everything I want to do in a paticular day because I don't focus, but today is GOOD GOOD GOOD!!

Going to be studying at Eileen's tomorrow cause it's nearer my place. Mum doesn't want me going too far.yuppss. Hmmmy, I think I need to invest in a new phone battery soon. Mine's cranky. Ladeelooo. Shall end here since I've got to get back to the work.
Once again, to 4/8: Don't give up.. Tell yourself,no no no I can't give up. hahah. You all can do it!! I believe in you all:D love you all chunks(:
take my fears, my inhibitions
andrea

First Page COMPLETED!! Very very happy with the progress. waahahhah. Went to school today and turns out, only 16/28 of us showed up for school. It's madness.

Anyways, I finally decided on my theme for art. It's called "JUNGLE"(hougachacha!!). hahah. Going to draw lots and lots of hair. In case you're wondering how it relates to the jungle them, it'll be mess of hair with elements of the actual jungle stuff.So...yup. Gotta work work work now. Trying really hard to pick up the pace so that by the time next week comes, I won't have to worry about it anymore.:DHmmm.

uhhmmm..4/8!!! Please come to schooool!!! Mrs Pillai will cry if you don't. hahhaha. Tomorrow is my last day of school because I'll be on study break for the whole of next week before I sit for my last few N level papers. WHOOO(: hahh. Okok, focus andrea!! Won't be blogging much till the exams are over. Dumdidummm... EAT FRUITS!! An apple a day keeps the doctor awayyyyyeee(:

closing time.16 Sept.

2007-09-16T16:39:00.000+08:00

Her face is a map of the world

Is a map of the world

You can see she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful girl

And everything around her is a silver pool of light

The people who surround her feel the benefit of it

It makes you calm

She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world

Like walking the world

You can hear she's a beautiful girl

She's a beautiful gir

lShe fills up every corner like she's born in black and white

Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember

What you heard

She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most

And she's looking at me

I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine

Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower

A big strong tower

She's got the power to be

The power to give

The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

This is what I wanna be

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)

Why the hell it means so much to me

it's killing me.

2007-09-13T13:15:00.000+08:00

I want to to go overseas now...

Okay, that's just a wild attempt to run away from the stresses of Singapore. haahah . I want christmas to come. aahah. I think Darth Vader is awfully funny but cool. Well, he has a cool insect looking mask. hehee. Um... I'm currently at home doing my research for art while talking to Jane online cause she's also at home and listening to music by Jem. I'm sick that's why I am at home. Will go to the ever so clean clinic later to get an mc. Yups(: I think I've used up one whole tissue box. Sniff* Jane blamed me for leaving Camellia behind in school. hahaah. crazy girl. She slept at 3 am and wasted time. Silly girl. N levels are in 18 days time!!! PFfff... I seriously feel like I'm constantly being chased after by a huge t-rex or something(RAWR!!!), and there's no way out of this nightmare until N levels are over. okayeee... I've got nothing much to talk about today. Going to focus on the research now:D

but I'm flying so high, high off the ground

Andrea

It's just a matter of throwing the lazy soul in you and making the effort to do something that about those crappy results.I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MAX!!(: Let's knock the socks out of N Levels!! WHOO!!

We've got food in our tummies.hahaha.

2007-09-08T15:11:00.000+08:00

Okay... don't blame us. We were really stressed out after our Social Studies paper ended. Kasey was upset to the max and she needed comfort.So, we decided to buy lots of food!!! Therefore, as you can see, this is one of the classic examples as to how some stressed out people might react. hahah. Kasey especially. She bought two tubs of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, some doughnuts and mango juice. Cam bought some doughnuts, mango juice and a stick of fishballs.hahah. I bought two doughnuts, wanton, and fishballs with mango juice. The cashier at Shell station thought we were crazy for food. Alright.. so no, we can't possibly just fall crazily in love with food suddenly. hahaha.Anyways, after that incident, I decided to dance it off. hahah. So yay! I think I'm back to normal...

Here in this entry, I'll be sharing more of what went through my brain during my day. So, if you want to know, here goes...

For introduction, everybody should try going to the mirror every morning when you are brushing your teeth and say " I'll be a better person today." It helps to make you feel more positive about your day.:D

Today, I received a phone call from one of my closest friends. She was really troubled about something that seemed to have been bothering her for the past 7-8 months? Actually, I was a little surprised that she came to me for a crying shoulder because it really has been a long time since we last did that to each other. Only thing was that, her problem was like mine. A lot in fact. Even so, as I tried to help her, I really didn't know what to say because it was like giving advise to my ownself. Through her telling me all this, I suddenly realised how long I've been struggling to get my similar problem out of the way. Doing all sorts of things just to stop reminding myself of the things I held on so tightly to.

As she cried over the phone, I saw myself in her shoes. Of being lied to, of having to wait for certain things to occur and being let down so many times until the very last minute. For me, all this has become the past and as I am in the future, (believe it or not) I'm going through tons of my own "therapy" sessions. hahah. Yes, seriously. To my dearest friend who called me tonight, please remember all that I've said to you and remember that God still loves you(: I'm here for you if you need somebody too!!:D Andrea loves you lots(: Be strong and focus alright?:D It won't be easy, but I know you'll pull through. Thank you for sharing so much with me as well. *HUGS for you.

WE'RE FINALLY RENOVATING THE HOUSE!!(:

all you see is another reflection in the water

Next performance:

2007-09-06T07:51:00.000+08:00

So if anyone of you wants to watch our "No Me Ames" dance at Funan which I think would be the last time we perform this item, it will be on the 15th of September 2007(Next Saturday) at Funan IT mall, about 3pm..4pm?. Little kids will be performing too and I must say, they look extremely cute.(: Can't believe I was once that small.

My first half of N levels are over and I'm currently very very happy. Papers havent been easy. Think the standard has gone up. Well, the papers I'm left with are Biology,Chemistry, Art and History. (:

Going to watch "Hairspray" later. So, I think I should go get ready. Toodles.

Watch MTV's Dancelife. I really love the featured dance in each episode.

<3>

The old things I remember.

2007-09-03T14:37:00.000+08:00

What's been going on:

1) Last friday, I met up with a bunch of my old classmates. Had fun catching up with them.( Amos, Terence, Janelle, Vanessa, Hong Rui, Randy, YongKiat and Eileen)

2) Performed at Bishan Park 2 on Sunday. Was performing for some kid's event, but it was fun. 12 of us from the formal No Me Ames recital group took the stage and gave it our all eventhough the weather was bleah...Rained and rained and then... the sun popped out of no where, thus gave me a super bad headache last night.

3) Today was my Chinese N Level paper. It was okay.(:

okayeee. Then I told Ivan that I was feeling nervous in the morning after he wished me all the best. guess what he said? " (catches butterflies in Andrea's stomach".) ahahahah!! Told Balraj because we were super early, and we were roaring with laughter. ai yo yo. Funny buddy. Oh oh!! Our CPE sounded like a giant.. oh yeah, and he looks like one too. Every 14 mins before the paper ends, he'll go " YOU HAVE 14 MINUTES LEFT!" (of course it was uber loud.)

your eyes are watery red

2007-08-30T15:38:00.000+08:00

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass,

Don't know how much time has past.

Oh, it feels like forever...'

HAIRSPRAY!!!! I WANNA WATCH!!! but.. too bad for me:(

2007-08-28T20:52:00.000+08:00

Right right, so all these pictures conclude all that's been going on. From handing up my N Level prep work at the the exam place to going to Kelvin and Hwee Yee's new house on Friday for careteam together with the other two youth careteams.(: Ummmmhmm... currently, I think my mood is on the same level as a zombie and I don't feel like sharing much. Sorry to all readers. I'm going to have to be selfish with the details. N Level's are coming. COMING!!! AHHHH!!

Will be performing this Sunday at Bishan Park at around 4?So I guess I'll be at 8 am worship this week. Will be doing the same dance as last year's Dance Arts Recital. No Me Ames. Of course with some remixes.haha!!(: Then again, I've been studying like never before. Feeling quite miserable, but hey, once it's over.... I'll be back in action. I lovelove loveLOVELOVE my class, only because we've got a whole bunch of people who make my school days all that much brighter(: Really... 4/8... you all are the best. Not always the smartest, or the neatest, but you all form the best classmates. Study hard and STOP being lazy already alright? Got to see you all back in Sec 5. Will be praying for you all as well. Shall end here. Going back to the books...booohoooohooosniffhooooo.

PRESENT AT THE DOOR FOR ENTRY.

2007-08-20T18:47:00.000+08:00

ARGH! Want to kill this blogger system. It's not uploading my pictures properly. It goes to the 100% bar and then doesn't upload anything. pff-_-. As for now, it's taking ever so long(: hahha. Anyways, Camellia came over to my house last Thursday to watch two movies with me. haah. And and and, we were trying on my sunglasses.HEEHEE. We were trying real hard to cover the polka dots so that we can upload these pictures, but ah.. nevermind. Janelle came over on Friday afternoon to pass to me a little surprise she had installed for me, which was this oh-so-big cookies with Hershey's chocolate melted on it. haahah. She's SOOOOOO SWEEEEETT!!! hahah. I LOVE YOU TO THE MAX JAN!! Well, she gave me a big big hug too. Um hmm.. She had dinner with me too!! Ate at the coolest place ever!! With cheap food that filled our tummies. THE MARKET!!! hahaha. She ate hokkien mee and I ate chao kuey teow. I think it's spelled that way... Had dessert too!!! She ate some almond jelly thingy with longan which from what she says, "Not very nice.". I ate bean curd with rice balls. Yum stuff, but felt like we were drowning our sorrows with food.ahahha!! Walked home from the market after that and watched TV and she left at about 9ish? Yup. Hey Jan, I'll be praying for you yeah? Nothing to worry about if you let God and let go. I'm sure we'll both pull through our problems soon. OOoo, went shopping with my brother yesterday and bought new shades and two shirts. Love, loved and still love the top my brother bought for himself at Domanchi. Reminds me of those fashion advertisements I see in magazines sometimes. Okay, loved today's weather. So nice and cold. Makes me want to travel to a cold winter country now. Like some ice palace or something.hahah..think I'm going crazy. Got to go back to studying later and cut my hair soon!!!(: To all those with O levels prelims now, ALL THE BEST!!

2 weeks to N Levels.(psst... as in the actual exam...)

hanging by a moment

Andrea(:

Prelims Are Almost Over.

2007-08-14T18:35:00.000+08:00

CHEMISTRY AND MATHEMATICS PAPERS ARE OVERRRRRRR!!! YESS!! Sitting for my last two papers tomorrow, of which I call them slack papers. Biology and Art!!:D I'm so tired. My eye bags are super duper monstrous now. I'm deprived from proper rest and the same thing goes to my other classmates, so I'm not alone. Ah crappies... I can't stand this. I'm going to sleep like a pig after tomorrow's papers.Zzz. Michelle made a very obvious observation today while we were in the canteen. "EH!! I just realised that you, Cam, Alicia, Sheryl and I have eye bags. *starts laughing to herself". hahaha. She's a funny girl. Well yeah. Now you know what Prelims would do to you in a matter of days. BOooHoooHooo. I can't stop laughing at Jolynn. Eileen and her friends kept throwing the fake cockroach at her like a billion times and she still got frightened over and over again. hahaha!! Went to eat lunch with Eileen today at the market.Duck rice is GOOD!(: Came up with some COOLieeoka ideas for the Sony Ericsson thingy yesterday while I was at Serene's macs with Elsa and Steph. Currently, I think Elsa's "sad" fake cancer story is the funniest thing I've heard all week. Okay... and Jan's hello kitty and Doremon joke she told me over the phone a few days ago. hahaha. Now she claims I am Doremon or whatever she says. hahaha. Met WeiFen yesterday as Serene's too. She's working now and she was telling us about how being an interior designer can bring in good money. Yup.Been a while since we've seen her. Alright, enough jokes for one day. Going back to my notes and pencils now!!!

andreaaahhhh

sing a happy song(:

2007-08-10T09:35:00.000+08:00

This was at Uncle William's place. hahah. My brother Shawn and I were really bored, so... we decided to climb the rope pyramid. Sat on the top of it, and Shawn was slightly afriad that the whole thing would just collapse. hahaha. Was listening to music on my phone while waiting for the whole thing to end. Think we were up there for about half and hour? Alright, so hanging out with my brother is always nice because we do lots of crazy things together. Anyways, after the whole thing, we decided to bring Carrie to Clark Quey to walk around. THe fountain was sooo sooo pretty. Um, yeah. Smelled like smoke after the whole thing because of the nightlife there.

Yesterday was NATIONAL DAY. Dinner was held at our house. Had glorious food and more food and more. hahaha. Could watch the fireworks from my balcony, so yay! Free display of fireworks!! Oh and if you guys read the special issue of the straits times yesterday, about the bestfriends competition, you'll be able to find Janelle and my picture on it.(: Janelle and I were so happy to see it. ahahaha. Eileen and Ivan messaged me to tell me they saw it. hahaha. Well yea, I really do thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful bestfriend. Janelle!! You're the best! Going to see you later(:....

Alright, that's about it. I gotta get ready to meet her. Toodles.

[dont forget to enjoy the ride]

[Andrea]

on the side of me.

2007-08-08T17:53:00.000+08:00

All photos are roughly in sequence with the things I've been doing so far.

Lollipop wrappers: Well, they are actually Kasey's and my raspberry lolli wrappers. We were eating them on our way home from cold storage yesterday at KAP. haahahaaaa. Think I'm in love with those sweet things for the meantime.

Little Andrea: Hmm.. went to my aunt's house for dinner last week and saw this photo. If I'm not wrong, I braided my hair in Batam...Hmm.. not quite sure. But hey, I look pretty good in them eh? :D Hwahahah. Nah.

Messy table with lots of drawings: I've been rushing through my N level art prep pieces. Believe me when I say, I'm running out of ideas for this theme. pff -_- booohooohooo.

Broken nail: YOU SEE THAT!?? You see!!?? It's one of the few times I've broken a nail till its half way out. This proves that I've been working hard on this thingy. How COOL is that?

Three People(frm left to right: Michelle, Wei Hao & Doug): Actually, Janelle was also there.(: She was sitting next to me and we were taking some sneaky photos.Um yeah. Went over to Douglas' house with the others to do our work today. Played some car racing before lunch and left with Janelle after doing our work. Think I would be seeing them again soon.

Okay. Now I'll be going over to Uncle William's house for dinner with my family. I'm sure there are other church people going to. Munch up!! Gotta blow dry my hair first.

[what the wind says when she cries]

Andrea

the great escape

2007-08-07T14:54:00.000+08:00

WOOHooWHEEE!! Finished my

English, Math P1, Social Studies and

History papers for Prelims so far!!!! They

were alright, not too bad(: Camellia and I

created this new meaning for the chinese

word "take away: Da Bow". hahaha. At

least I think its spelled that way. ahahah. Anyways, we realised that if you look at

the chinese characters written for it, it can also mean "Beat The Bag". hahaha!!!

Can't imagine going to a store and telling the uncle to that I am not eating at the

place but I want "Beat The Bag".AHAHAHAH!!!!! So that was our joke of the day for

me. hahaha.

For the later part of the day, I watched this video that my classmate had in her

phone of the Taliban people videoing themselves skinning and toturing the dead

bodies further and taking out the insides so that the video can be sent back to the

families to see. I was really really REALLY disgusted by it. I mean c'mon, they are

like killing their own mankind. I can't imagine the pain and

agony the families of these victims have to face. To think those people

cutting up those bodies can even go through all the "trouble" to do that just makes

me feel sick. Don't you find it all abit too selfish? Was left

speechless after watching it. The images are flashing over again as I think of it. Did

not even want to finish watching it because it simply too awful to take in. They just

ripped everything apart and honestly, I find it extremely heartless.Was so close to

tears while watching it. Steph was grabbing my arm because it was so... um...

inhuman?-_- Sort of shaken by the whole thing at the moment. Where is the LOVE? (leans on

Cutie: the white bear Shawn always plays with.) Sighh.

--PEACE--

do something right-

andrea

OooEeeeAHhh.

2007-08-02T20:00:00.000+08:00

(drew something new today, think it looks quite interesting although yeah... it looks horribly saddest. It's not!!! At least I know that I was not feeling much in that way while drawing.)

Ooohh my head hurt, my head hurts... yes it does.-_- I feel so drained by the time I get home. My eyes feel so dead and I can feel EYEBAGS building up under my eyes.. really. Then again, I hear some nearby voices shouting out my name and I wake up over again. The world is still the same and I am sitting by my study table listening to the news playing on the radio about the Korean hostages... So many things are going on, and I am down here trying my best to focus on the pages I'm flipping through infront of me.The lines are just repeating itself. Anyways, Tony's sister, Carrie will be coming down from Australia to Singapore soon. Chevelle and Tony are coming down this end of the year. Once again, I can't wait. Really miss them lots. Missed those times where I went out with Velle to Orchard and sat down by the stone benches just to talk about who we were interested in while eating some waffle ice cream. hahah. Those were the fun days, but I'm sure there would be newer types of fun soon. Christmas for an example. One of my favourite festivals of the year. Usually, I'll just pretend I'm in some winter wonderland, when actually... it's just raining. I remembered pretending that rain was snow when I was younger. My brother and I would think that if the weather was cold enough in Singapore, it might just snow. (just might...) I still LOVE to think of it in that way, but I know now that such things can't possibly be true. Or can they? hahah. Nah.

Then I look over my shoulder and realised I've dropped so many things along the way. The burdens in which I carry on my back, all seemed to have faded away while I was walking on. Kind of like the little pilgrims journey to heaven's gates. God must have cut holes in my burden bag so that I'd just let go and stop holding on so tight to things I don't really need.

So I'll end today's entry, smiling at myself with satisfaction because I've learnt something new about myself today even though I'm so tired..sigh. Prelims: 4 days.

ANDRea-_- ( I feel like I've got no eyes)
