im back!! not that anyone actually realises.. i bet even if i died, you guys out there wouldnt even know, right, you bastards.. haha.. i guess im not that fortunate to have at least a few people who cares for me..
but who cares about that!! manado indonesia!! great place i tell you.. the trip was totally splendid.. the only thing that made it a little bad was that i fell sick on the 3rd day, and i meant really sick.. gastric flu or something like that.. i missed 2 dives!! i know, only 2 dives, but come on!! i could have done all the dives AND enjoyed myself, instead of making everyone there worried..
the people in manado are really nice.. they're really polite, friendly, cheerful, even when they only earn <$150 a month.. it was a changing experience for me.. i learnt how to really treasure the things i have and not take things for granted.. really, this trip to manado was good exposure..
i stayed at the minahasa prima dive resort, which was kinda far from the airport, about an hour and a half away.. i, uncle jimmy and uncle edwin stayed in one hut, and since 3 of us shared one hut, they gave us a big one, complete with tv set, sofas and a dining area.. how cool is that!!
we saw many many cool marine animals.. but there is one thing i regret not seeing, and thats the pgymy seahorse!! i cant believe i actually missed seeing it!! argh!! but to compensate, we saw huge turtles and stuff!! the turtle were humongous, they were bigger than i am!! can you imagine that?!?! their head was like, my head size!! thats huge!! we saw dolphins!! oh my goodness, so cool!! there was a whole school of dolphins, and they were swimming with our boat!! awesome!!
we saw a blue ring octopus (which is immensely dangerous, bite bite and you're a goner), leaf fishes, different species of scorpion fishes, frog fishes, nudibranches, a huge cuttlefish (size of my torso), moray and garden eels, and many many other things.. so awesome please!!
oh, there was this once, under this huge flat piece of coral, our dive leader saw a shark resting inside, and he mentioned for me to go see.. i peeped under the coral, and didnt see anything.. not knowing what i was supposed to see, i stuck my whole head under the coral, and came face to face to a black tip reef shark.. hehe.. whoops, lucky my head didnt get bitten off..
another time, this clown fish thought i was its anemone, and kept swimming around me.. which was kinda weird, since none of me looked anything like a anemone, with the vague exception of my hair underwater.. haha..
im going off now, i need my beauty sleep..

oh my goodness!! i still cant believe it.. i slept through my poa paper today!! i feel so bad suddenly.. all of a sudden.. well, its a bit too late to regret right now...
today went to school around 12.. since there was practically no one around, i went to watch the floorball training.. i miss it, but not to the extent that its a craving... i watched it for awhile, before going downstairs to see if anyone has arrived yet.. no one, so went back up to watch, then after that went to class...
there were people in class, but on one wanted to follow to go for a meal.. i was starving, hadnt eaten anything for about 12 hours at least? rui xiang, cherlyn, steph and nadya agreed to go, but dilly-dally until it rained... lucky can borrow umbrella from office.. i borrowed the security guard's (my good friend) umbrella, so that the others will have more room under their own brells.. it was a real downpour, you couldnt see more than 10m in front of you!! ok, maybe not 10, 20!! haha.. but it was heavy..
i love opera!! well, i dont know if its considered opera, but the likes of Sarah Brightman & José Carreras, Jason Donnavan, Micheal Ball?? im guessing it can be counted.. you should listen to the following..
Amigos Para Siempre - Sarah Brightman & José Carreras
Love Changes Everything - Micheal Ball
Any Dream Will Do - Jason Donnavan
more moving songs:
You've Got A Friend - McFly (not originally sung by them)

its past 3 in the morning.. i think from the time alone you can tell how i feel.. there are only a few reasons why a person wouldnt go to sleep, so go figure...
what there never was, there never will be.. this sentence pretty much sums up my thoughts right now.. yup..
so anyway, i bought new soft toys today!! or rather, yesterday now.. yea yea, i know, im too old to be still keeping soft toys, but they're cute ok.. aiya, its not like i'll keep them.. i always buy such stuff to give away.. i feel that they'll be more appreciated that way...
now, dont be saying that im rich and thats why i can afford to give stuff away.. i work for that money ok?? giving stuff away is a nice feeling.. i love to give stuff, but i absolutely dread recieving one.. i dont know why.. its complicated, haha..
today was a bad day.. i fear for my math paper and also other things.. but yea, its just a bad day!! i went to play lan with boon and xiong, but after like less than an hour i told boon that im going to play pool, so 2 of us left xiong and the place.. i really wasnt feeling all that happy, rather moody actually, thats why i stopped playing.. i thought it'll be ok once i started playing pool, but that lasted even shorter, like >45 mins... jeez.. after that i went to plaza sing, where boon went home..
i went to antonie's office for another round of pool.. his office is super cool, got its own pool table and stuff.. so i went to his office, and we played.. a short while later his friend keith joined us, so we just played.. and boy were they good.. i was comparable, but really unlucky.. like, i shot the nine ball into the pocket and it rolled out after going in.. like, wth?!?! zzz...
yea ah well, the only real reason i went to his office was for the company.. they never fail to make my day or at least get me back on my happy mood.. i left the office feeling better.. he invited me to skate with them later today (its sat now).. i dont know if i should go, still being awake and all.. also, i shy.. all the people i dont really know..
im tired now, think i'll sleep.. cya!!

its been a crazy week.. although only one paper has passed, i am acting like the whole damn exam is over.. i cant stand o's lah.. so many people putting pressure on me, even though i dont feel any pressure to do well.. screw this exam.. grrr!!
met up with my aunt last week, and she brought me to eat sushi.. =D so nice!! but on that day, was feeling too well so i didnt eat much.. only 3 plates and one salmon don... oh, and by the way, its pronounced sa-mon, where the 'sa' in the word is pronounced like the 'sa' in 'sam' without the 'm'..
my god-sis (grace) has finally gotten attached!! haha!! so happy for her!! i cant wait for my god-children to come.. thats not gonna come for another 10 years or so, but who knows!! i love kids!! whee!! she was so over her head in bliss when she told me the news today... at first when she told me that the he (the dude confessing to her) had something to tell her on sunday (today now), we already knew what he was going to say.. and she was like, 'i probably wont accept'.. but knowing her well enough, she's bound to accept!! haha.. so today, i was like, 'ha! in your face!! still said you wouldnt accept' kind of thing, you know?? hahaha... god-kids!! xD
happy relationship to the both of you!! you two have my fullest blessings!!
i think from now on, i shall end of my posts with quotes like i used to... and the quote of the day is =
You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. --Barbara DeAngelis

today wasnt a good day.. first thing in the morning already got shouted at by mr wong, all because of o's.. zzzz.... that period wasnt even his lesson too.. then later, got hammered by mr oei during math.. this time, it was kind of deserving.. the class's attitude toward studies was horrendous, so him shouting wasnt as big a deal compared to mr wong's..
somemore, dar dar's card had no money left, so cannot call her.. i was so bored with nothing to do after school.. i had no mood to study.. her phone no money, cant call.. grace wasnt an option either, mainly cause she *might* take the whole day to reply... call xin ting, she also busy watching tv... aiya... fan si ren...
i only got 18 upon 26 for math, i think i really am getting complacent.. this has been a problem with me for many years already.. tsk tsk..
today was the last day of school.. time really flies.. in another 8 days or so, its already o's.. no time can be wasted, yet i am wasting it.. i should really get myself moving...
this year, mr paul is leaving the school, and my sec 1 form teacher is retiring.. tomorrow's the absolute last day i can possibly see them, and i must.. its just too important to miss..

its been awhile since i last posted.. its always awhile since i posted, haha.. i realise i am never committed to this blogging stuff.. maybe i should start... then again i shouldnt.. no one ever reads this blog anyway.. well, if anyone does, leave a shout out in the taggie so i know at least one person reads this..
o's are in a week, and i havent started studying yet.. im starting to wonder, am i really concerned about my results? i should be, because this is one major stepping stone in life.. i tell other people to study, and even nag at them to do so, but i myself havent.. thats ironic, thats what it is..
lately i seem to spend my time watching movies.. i caught rob-b-hood for the second time, and borrowed a few movies for video ezy.. they were, azumi (a really nice movie, a must-watch), house of fury (not really a good movie, but nice to watch), and rumble in the bronx (a really old jackie chan movie, but i love jc so i loved the movie).. i also watched the last samurai at home...
talking about rob-b-hood, its such a nice movie!! everyone who hasnt watched it yet, watch it!! but, please go in the evening, when the theatre is all full, otherwise it wouldnt be as nice.. i would know..
the baby (matthew) in the movie is just too cute!! he's not all that handsome and stuff, but he's definately cute.. no doubt about it.. and louis khoo and jackie make such a hilarious pair in the movie.. louis is mother, and jackie is father.. super funny i tell you.. oh, and the nicholas tse and daniel wu cameo in the movie is just too funny man... hahaha.. i cant stop laughing thinking about it... oh, and charlene choi is just too cute in the movie!! all the loves!! to both the baby and charlene!!
i spent sun evening at grace's house, and while in it, hiding from her mom.. i think her mom is really strict about visitors, and especially during this period when we're both having o's.. her brother loves to bully me, and dawn (her sis which i also know) loves to pinch my nipples!! what the!! but she always misses, which make the resulting affected area more pain.. it'd be less pain if she'd actually pinched my nips..
well, thats all i can think of for now.. see you!!
