a quick update for the week...
been busy, very busy for the week esp from wednesday onwards.

wed - had many plans yet donno which to carry out. nus to collect stuff from min rui, cpa talk, temptation to go back hall, dinner at raffles city. only on wednesday itself did the plans for the day finalize, changing a lot of plans along the way.
plan 1: go nus, go talk in ntu, go hall for rally
plan 2: go talk in ntu, go nus to collect sutff, go dinner
plan 3: go nus collect stuff, go hall for rally. ai ya ai ya...it was super luan, super undecisive as i do wanna go back hall for a day, also wanna go for the talk...
finally on that day itself, i decided to go for plan 1. but alas. it didn't turn out to be plan 1. it was a mix. final plan: went nus (in formal wear) but ended up not going for talk n going for dinner at night. dinner at the jap marche (forgot the name le) is very very nice. i like :)

thurs was full day lessons. ended with dinner with yy, jen n yanlin. lol one is not staying in hall, i guess simple dinners are sth to look forward to. chatted with jen about quite a lot of random stuff from hall to tuition. haha guess too long nv chat with her le, cos was laughing all the way out from ntu bout her teaching style.

yea and finally fri!
a must-blog entry. wahahaa cos i finally met up with a good fren that i hasn't seen for close to 2 years! been super hard to meet up with her cos we have been trying every few mths. i can't forget what she said when she first saw me 'Huiping! you are so small!' i couldn't stop laughing cos no one ever used that word on me. it was a long nice dinner, where we spent just the whole night chatting :) we shared about everything that has been going on in our life for the past 1 yr. to think our first part of the conversation was: anything to update? nth much la. cos towards the end of the night, as we sat at starbucks, we shared to much with each other our happiness, unhappiness, anger, frustration. it was jus nice. plus i had to thank her for having dinner with me, though i asked her only at noon that day. lolz she had to give meeting her special someone a miss just for a night out with me. thank you! hopefully, we will meet up soon again, not 2 years later. *smilez* i enjoyed the night blabbering

a must-post photo for a long long fren :)

fri hasn't ended when i reached home. cos i started my preparation for tmr. completed the cards n presents slightly past midnight. started doing agar agar. my parents walked into the kitchen at 1plus and wonder why i was so hungry...lolz. mmz doing agar agar is like punishing your legs where one has to stand for an hr jus stiring. multitasked quite efficiently. as the water is boiling, i stirred super fast, put down the spoon n started cutting lychees while letting the water swirl by itself. once the swirl stops, i was back to stirring manually and the routine continues...lolz 1plus am n i m still go active. it's rare.

sat was next. my day started at 7:30am. rushed to get out of the hse by 8am. bought some stuff along the way. den travelled all the way to the east- wild wild wet in celebration of dar's birthday. played played and played quite a lot. yea had my nuggets n fries which i crave for. overall an excellent day. shall leave you to blog the rest. glad you enjoyed the activities n the presents which are all just small small simple stuff though it wasn't exactly very easy. must thank minrui plus weichun esp! of course, not forgetting that one gift was from my bro too! thank you! mmz not one photo was taken for the day though...nonetheless hope it was a day that would be written into our memories. reached home slept and here is sunday.

nxt week will be busy again. dinner with sss hopefully (sorry for the delayed reply cos really hasn't been checking mail recently) plus birthday celebration cum treat from bro! okayz time to do my tutorials...

yea! i had my first 10km run for 2008 *smilez* it feels good, very very good. running early in the morning with the crowd...though i didn't exactly complete the run, walking for some distance, it was a different yet nice experience. plus the ice-cream at the end was an additional draw. contemplating...maybe i'll turn running ahm a yearly event...whether it's 10km or 21km...

miss chia here don't bully ppl. second time i hear ppl whining that i bully them, make them exercise vigoroursly. first time from dear roomie, say i made her climb mt faber. second time for dar saying i made him run 10km. wahahaha but but but..u all still enjoy yourself in the end ma..*smilez* who else has ertia to do workout, come find me. i try to ingest a little satisfaction into doing exercise. *evil grins* lol i m going a little mad...

lolz reached home and started panicking that i can't finish my tutorials for the coming week. busy. 4th week starting and i m starting to feel the workload wo...readings that i can't seem to finish. with all the simulation games starting nxt week, i foresee a very interesting sem ahead, but one that is not going to be easy. ha final yr yet the workload isn't lesser...i don't deny midway sometimes i wish i m still staying in hall, enjoying the company of my neighbours everyday. sometimes feeling lonely with a smaller circle of fren to hang ard in and after sch. nonetheless, no complains. at least i have company for all lessons except 205...*smilez* i just know, no matter wat, i m going to enjoy this sem as much as i can.

House painting!

forgot to blog about it. was fun, cos the company was entertaining, esp the bickering btw my cousin n bro which captured everyone's attention. funny yet speechless. though at the end of the day, it was still tiring. lol. thought this picture was very nice, hence posted it. thanks to the additional 2 helpers, which reduces our workload by a lot a lot. many many thanks! *smilez* i had an easy job cos of all the guys...:) jus touching up.

missed a little hall life yesterday cos i had a 6hr break. had company for 3 hrs before the few decided they are not going for lecture. lolz but i still went for the lecture. wa tcm is conducted all in chinese and lecturer speaks with an accent. slept for the first half an hr, woke up to try to understand his slang but kind of hard..gave up, decided to read the notes myself cos i was struggling to read the chinese words. okayz next week will be much more busy...

okayz going to do some house painting over the weekends. lolz been doing quite a lot of labour pushing things in and out. at least there's still my bro to help in the really big items so i was spared of the sofas etc. waa but looking forward to hse painting cos it's my first time! the last time i moved house, i had to play hide-and-seek outside with my bros. recalling the days where i stepped into the wrong hse while playing hide-and-seek. up till now i still rmb the uncle who opened the door and shy away from him from embarrassesment. now i have been assigned important roles wo! painting the walls, the largest patch in the hse-walls in the living room wo...cos it was large but supposed to be the easiest.

FOC 2008 ended.

three yrs of participating in hall FOC, each leaving me with different experiences. the first year as a freshman, hall FOC gave me a first hand experience of a fun camp, not one that is millitary or chiong style. the second year, i learnt to organize jus one activity while the third and final year, i learnt to organize a small group and oversee a few activities.

no doubts, conflicts and disagreement arises during the camp. i was pissed off at times too but it doesn't matter. cos all in all, i thanked the many ppl who contributed to this camp to help and make it a success cos that was wat many wished. at least the freshies enjoyed themselves, at least my gp enjoyed themselves on the last night. of course, special thanks to elaine for accommodating me, my stubbonness and irritability. yea glad the pool games well quite smoothly too! :) and to yy and hq for letting me stay in their room for the 4 days creating inconveniences etc! also to all in gp 3 who each conducted their activities well, independently and entertaining us for the 5 days. lastly to the cps, who did so much for the camp that they deserve a big thank you too!

end of holiz. it feels good to step back home.
windmills. i love this place. standing among the hundreds or thousands spinning windmills, i laughed out from the bottom of my heart. it was a very simple picture yet i felt so happy standing among there. it was a beautiful sight, one that kept me happy within.
a really pretty windmill.
i don't have very good photography skills yet i always thought of capturing a kid on a field running freely. this lucky kid was there at the right point in time doing the right action. his field.
it was a kiddy day. 2yr old girl captured completing the puzzle.
my holiday ended well. i enjoyed it to bits. tim to prepare my gears for school again :)
