the trip down memory road in vjc.
our first shot at the foyer with lau shi who has supurb memory cos she rmb us. not just our faces but our class! muahaha she even recalls cca of our classmates and our sec school uniforms. we have graduated for 3 years yet she still rmb our class. muahaha definately most memorable bout us must be the pineapple we gave on teachers day! *smilez* it goes to show how much impression we left on her...haha ehmz for being notorious.

thanks to xiu and her mini tripod stand! it sure allows us to be all in the photo unlike previously when we all have to take turns taking. lol. i suggested bringing camera but i didn't, so have to thank val and xiu for bringing too!

the stairs! i rmb we took our first 3 mths class photo here too! in similar style, lining ourselves along the stairs.

haha this pond left an impression on 04s63 definately! esp pari and merd who took a dip with the fishes. humph and coincidentally the teacher who scolded us for doing such an act walked past as we were preparing to take photos...

the rockwall! i rmb it was the pide of vj odac then.

the 4 of us at the foyer

our last photo before heading elsewhere.

it evokes memories. jc was tough but because of the memories left, it was a great 2 years. even days spent studying in the library, the classroom and the foyer were fun. recalling the company where 04s63 took up a few tables in the library nearing prelims and 'A' levels or the studying session with merd in the foyer. rmbing a random day when cheryl sms to the radio station motivating our class to study and everyone whipped out the radio to listen. the unique birthday celebrations and the $5 budget for gift per person. the birthday candles placed on food like jelly, fruits, bao...and celebrating everyone's birthday tgt. then, we were a class. this feeling hasn't been felt since uni. yet uni would take a different memory road. *smilez* the best is indeed to walk each period of our time through with happiness with the companions around you. only then, would there be beautiful memories even after we left. i am indeed thankful to have known them and being able to maintain our friendships strong in these 3 years.

since exams ended, been kept busy by many activities including things i've left uncompleted along the way. so far, i really appreciate the pretty ladies who sportingly agreed to my few requests.

it has been a long long time since i enjoyed the company of frens doing stuff i enjoyed.
our the cycling trip. it was fun, very fun *smilez* cos it consisted of an excellent bonding activity, great company and beautiful scenary :)

haha we passed ubin, tioman and australia along the way having to rough through obstacle courses and treking to reach our destination. it was tiring no doubts...haiz clara, don't don't don't jump into the sea! must perserve on to reach our final destination!

cycling along a path with scenary of trees lined up beside..

the storm from wed night left many trees uprooted along the journey. attempting to lift this tree trunk out of the way

sun, sand, sea (reminds me of vj orientation...)

good photography emo shots. i love that tree lots which enhances the picture. taken by who?
leaving our footprints along the bike which brought us from ecp to changi

*smilez* the 3 who conquered the distance

really appreciated the 2 gals who also had to wake up early despite our late night out on wed watching 17 again in celebration of everyone's end of exams.

fri was another great day of gathering. haah i so seldom organize gatherings but thanks for responding positively to me organizing a remininizing trip to vjc! lol i love the gals lots. definately, there wasn't much changes, but walking around the sch with the gals who walked with me through my jc life again, eating in the canteen, talking to lau shi, it sure brought back memories of my time in JC. i love vj and i still do. it may not be a intense feeling but at least it leaves a warm feelings where memories were left. watched 2 movies too. 17again and 252: a signal of life. 17again was funny, esp at some parts. lol a nice relaxing movie that keeps me awake and a movie for after exams relaxation. can't help it but comment bout 252: a signal of life movie. it was supposed to be a more serious, a more heartwarming movie but the ending seriously was so funny that i can't help it but laugh out loud. disturbingly, 2 frens of mine were laughing throughout the movie that i can't help but wonder how the other movie goers who are trying to build up feelings of emotions and saddness wld think. wahaha i just thought it was funny. the gals really entertained me lots today with their analysis of the cloth and val's classic way of wearing it. alrights alrights more photos of us in vj another time! *smilez*

to those still having exams, jia you wo! your turn for enjoying will be here really soon :)

came here and leave my mark cos not in exactly in the mood for studying.

exams in just 4 days. 3 papers consecutively before a short break and 20th may 2009 will mark the end of uni exams. if i say i haven't been working hard for the sem, i m seriously lying. for the first time in 3 yrs, in 6 sems, i completed almost all 13 tutorials in time for 306 seminars while trying to keep up readings for 304. it is a remarkable feat. in comparison to the past, it is indeed a big difference. if only i do tutorials for tax or for accounting 2, maybe i wld have done a little better for exams. lol. interestingly, i enjoy 306. admittedly, i find derivatives really challenging but somehow i don't mind practising the qns (haah maybe cos i already have the answers in front of me). 304 is interesting too, but i think my understanding somehow isn't there.

totally random. a picture with prof lee! and the bunch of ppl i've seek comfort in whenever i see them in sch, for the lunching, for the memories in class. haah thinking back, really have to say thank you cheelz! for making us pose for the photo after much reluctance :) haha i also want to bring camera and go around the school taking pictures...
on one of the days daydreaming, somehow the idea of convocation came up. isn't it nice to take photos with your family and friends around the school. at least i know, my mum has been waiting for this day since a long time ago. first my eldest bro, me nxt, 2nd bro soon too! haah bro, u faster faster, want to take a full graduation studio family photo! what if work starts next year and wrinkles and eyebags start appearing from the lack of sleep? *smilez* and flowers for friends so everyone will have a brunch of flowers on convo. isn't it nice? humph who wants flowers too? or which kind soul wants to get flowers for me!?

for now, love 306, 304 which are going to be my bread and butter in the near future :) for everyone else now, GO STUDY! haah jia you for exams too...esp those with exams so near...

yeah i was a pre-school teacher for 2 hrs today!

it was fun handling the 13 3-yr-old kids. seriously. they don't really know how to talk, only simple words. look at you silently yet tries to attract attention. they are good girls and good boys. though it was very messy, yet the time spent with them was fast. teaching simple english, singing songs, playtime, break time, toilet time. *smilez* they are really adorable. most importantly, got a few really shuai and pretty kids! glad all the kids had fun today and didn't cry either. i may not be an expert at handling children but at least i know how to compromise. i got a notorious child to promise he'll be goood today and he kept his words. the rest had so much fun today that it managed to get this little boy out of his baby chair to join in the crowd without crying. yeahs the 13 kids left a deep impression on me. haha this is indeed a rare opportunity as preschool teachers have to be trained. i definately derived much satisfaction at the end of the 2 hrs. simplicity, cos this kids are really simple. once in a while, its nice to hang out with them, to bring me away from the realities of life *smilez*

current mode: exhausted.

had both 304 and 306 quizes today, lunch and immediately rushed for driving. reached on the dot after walking super fast from the mrt. that sums up my day. with another report due tmr, that's the last of my assignments and quizes for this sem.

as usual, many thoughts ran through my mind. guess one of the main issue bugging me is the honors i m going to grad with in relation to s/u-ing of electives. currently, i m seriously hanging on to the edge of 2nd upper, being able to lose it really easily with my remaining 2 cores being 304 and 306. yet i came with the decision to s/u both my electives which are so hard to get As. i decided to leave it to my core results to determine ultimately whether i deserve a second upper. sure it was a difficult decision to make. recalling those years i have worked hard to get me where i m today while reminising those yr2 days when my results suffered terribly. the uni system is a unique system in which students have the opportunity to select the modules they want to take and the grades are not judged on the same basis. it differs from the pri to jc system when at least a class will be judged based on the same subjects. i guess my failure to adopt the appropriate choice of subjects coupled by my initial misconception leading to disinterest of accounting get me the results i have now. if strictly we are only allowed to use accounting modules to determine my grades, i know i don't deserve a 2nd upper ba. hence my final decision. a tough choice, but i'll stick to it, hoping i wldn't stress myself over it.

over and done with the serious topics of my choices. went for some warehouse sales when i made one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. lol. shall spare readers the story except that it involved an uncle and the word darling. shall leave the readers to their imaginable. *strictly no details will be released but readers can entertain themselves with the possibilities.* eh its worse than having nightmare. i realized sales tactics don't work on me unless it's sth i like.

first incident: 1 pair of novo shoes for $15, 3 pairs for $20. many ladies were practicaly grabbing 3 pairs each. yet there wasn't any pair that i really like. walked off empty-handed despite the good bargain.

second incident: a saying goes: diamond is a girl's best friend. yet somehow they don't attract me, either cos i've no money so i don't even have the desire to own one or there just isn't a need. it looks nice but i can't imagine wearing sth worth hundreds or thousand dollars. even if i own one, i rather not wear them for fear of attracting unwanted attenion. to buy them for investment purposes? haha maybe get me sth else.

also realized i m totally not a shopaholic, so shall move on to other topics besides shopping. it's do report time now.

simplicity.

a simple piece of pink cloth that costs $20 was all that made me touched deep down. i love that cloth lots cos of its usefulness. it was the meaning behind it that signifies deeper. though it was a simple gesture, it meant much more. it's the 2nd pink 'shawl' that bears a meaning behind cos of the giver. haha i realize i m seriously simply contented :)

interestingly, every day is a great day nowadays. there may be some ups and downs, yet only the ups were noticed. decided to spend a moment blogging about today.

just caught the manU vs liverpool match. admittedly, i m not a great fan of football nor do i supports a particular team cos i don't actively seek to keep a lookout for their matches. however, i know manU vs liverpool would be one i wld definately be interested to watch. in every match caught, it would be definately more interesting if u support a team. so which did i support? manU. why? just cos i know a few more players and heard of them more frequently or cos i happen to take more notice of their names in the newspaper. wells, i guess the match was well deserved for liverpool cos man U's defence wasn't performing in the first half. haha shall not dwell too much into it since there are definately better commendators around. on a personal note, it was an interesting match to catch, at an appropriate timing and setting.

went for the supreme court open house today too. yupz enjoyed myself throughly with the tour, with some civil hearings and humpty dumpty case. it reinforced and rekindled my interest in business law too. wahaha the game was a bonus, with a shoe bag for gift! lalala...i think today had been a meaningful day, one thoroughly enjoyed. *smilez*

on a side note, the delay in commencement of work brings about a new sphere to think about.
