Birthday party at Kovan - Where West meets East

Nice one, whatever I type just got error so here I go again. Last Saturday the 22nd of this month, I went to Ngee Ann Poly`s open house. It is quite a big place and I got lost while trying to get to the different schools in the different buildings. It was fun as there were so many tryouts and stalls to buy things from. It ranged from accessories to food. But then the sun was so mean that day and there were times that I feel like fainting, as there were too many people.


After that my friend yong qi and me went to my friends`s birthday party. Guess what? We got lost on the way too. His house is at Kovan but we took the Mrt all the way to Ponggol. Then we took the wrong bus on the wrong direction or side. I have a really bad sense of direction or my sotong sense is tingling. =_=;;


Luckily we reach in the end with some kind help from the auntie selling newspaper even though that birthday boy gave us some wrong information. Once we reached, they started dinner, was it pure coincidence or have they waited for us. It was a little embarrassing as there were 9 boys including the birthday boy and there were only the 2 of us, girls. While having dinner, it gives me a feeling that boys really have big appetites and they really can eat.


There was some simple and brief introduction of their names but I can`t seemed to remember all of them. There is Jeremy, Kah Hao, Daniel and Wee Kiat, for the rest I forgotten but even though I remember the names I can`t differentiate which names belong to which face. Let me tell you something, I remembered those names only because my classmates have the same name too. They were all quite nice and gentlemen including the birthday boy. I have my reasons for saying so as they helped us to fill the cup with ice, offering us drinks, sending us to the bus stop and waited for the bus to come even though he have friends waiting at home for him and much more.


But from all those guys, the yellow + black t-shirt and the white t-shirt left me with the deepest impressions. I wonder why, perhaps they talked to me more than the others I guess. Some guys are just too shy to even talk, am I that scary or what.


Does all the guys like to gamble that much? It was like a gambling den there but I did not participate, I just sit there and watched them play. It was kind of funny as their reaction when they win or lose is kind of hilarious. Maybe I`ll join in next time if there is another chance to do so.


It has been a tiring day as I have traveled and walk around so much. The journey back was extremely long as I stay at the west side of Singapore and Kovan is the East if I am not wrong. But then at least it is more fun than staying at home all the time.


Today, I will be going out again if anything worth mentioning happens, I will blog and share it with you guys if I am not so lazy like usual . @_@

New experience

While waiting for my O level results, I have been thinking on which course should I take if my results qualified to go to a poly. Been to Nanyang Poly, it is a nice place with friendly lecturers and students. Have a great day at there with my friends and most importantly there is the course that I am interested in which is digital media design and industrial design. Took neoprints, got a try in the lucky dip, make some craft and won some prizes.


Oh yeah, something amusing happened also, I was taking a look at every booth to see which course I was interested in. I pass by the engineering area and then the lecturer took time to explain about the different course and future aspects of it, then he ask me to take a look at the automobile show case. Then, there was this guy who was around my age, probably older than me. He was in-charge of showing me the automobiles that he and his classmates have made.


He and the lecturer then ask me to take part in some guessing game to predict which “car” will be push out of the restricted area and if my guess is correct, I will get a nice metallic cup. There was 2 cars to choose from, a pink one and a red one. I chose the red one and it won but then he said that it’s because the pink one is faulty and then he gave me and my friends each a box of clips. He then asks me to guess again but I was reluctant at the first place but then he promised that he would give me that cup if I win again and he was like pleading me at the same time. This time it’s the same red car and a yellow one. I chose the red one again and it won. Another lecturer did not know that it is during a competition and put the car back into the ring. I said I won but then he joked that he did not see it, I was a little mad but then he promised to give me and another friend of mine each a cup when his lecturer was away and if we promised not to tell anyone. I agreed and waited, after he pass me those cups, I tease him by saying that I will tell his lecturer and he use a whole stack of flyers to hit my head gently.


Quite funny but it makes me feel that the people in Nanyang Poly are friendlier. Tomorrow I am going to Ngee Ann Poly to take a look, if anything funny or nice happen, I will blog again. ^_^

Revival From Being Totally Dead

Have not been blogging for a long while as I was preparing for my exams and all that but at least now I am blogging right?
Now having the holiday mood away from all the stress and workload. Been slacking after my O levels but I think that I deserve it because I think I put in my best foot in the examination.


Many things have happened and been going though my mind.I have been wondering whether I can live up to my parents’ expectation and what does love really means. How do we know if you like someone and when someone like you? Maybe I am just still a kid so I am all blurred up or it is because I have seen too much of my friends being ditched and all that. But then I learn something, one of my friend said must drop hint to the guy you like if you do not want to miss the chance but then it is so hard. Now I know why some of them just chase the guys they like, as it is more time saving but then if the guy reject like very no face. So I guess that being a girl we have to wait for the guy to take the first step or else will scare him away.Guess this is what teenage girls are all thinking about.


Have been busy:
+ Celebrating Christmas by having a party in my house, I have lots of fun and there is many type of delicious food plus, I got lots of presents. I have a sour Christmas that day cause my long lost primary school classmate that I mentioned that time keeps on teasing me.

+Going out for movies with my god kor , this time we went to Bugis Junction but then it is still mainly the same thing that happened last time.

+Playing maple story, it’s a little boring but then again I got nothing much to do.

+Look for a job even through I am not hard up on cash as I feel that I am rotting at home and almost all of my friends are working.


Oh yeah, Happy New Year everyone! My New Year wish for the year is to get into the poly course that I want and to become healthier. I guess, I am not very greedy to wish for these.@_@


Hmm, some good news that has been happening in life, I have gotten the Eagles award; I am quite surprised when I received the confirmation letter. At least it shows that I have a attained a certain level of achievement.^_^
