Goodbye
Tuesday, November 29, 2005
Miss Tan Choh Hoon, my sec 2 science teacher passed away on the 23rd November. I was on the beach with my friends that afternoon when I heard the news from Conan. It came to me quite a shock as I was hoping that she would be able to last till next year.
Few months ago before my prelims, I went to visit her along with some friends. We sang hymns, prayed for her, talked to her. It was really heartbreaking to see her suffering like that. But when I heard about her death, I knew that God has taken her home and she is going to be eased of her pain and sufferings.
So the next day after her passing, I went to her wake with lots of friends from sec 4. Along the way, we met a few groups of sec 3 students. We were waiting outside the Singapore Casket at about 11.30, half and hour before the wake starts. When we entered the hall, the coffin was already in there. The room was so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
We went to pay our respect and prayed for her. The atmosphere was so sombre. I saw one of the lady that took care of Miss Tan and talked to her a little.
I don't really know how I am feeling, but I know that it's time that I start appreciating people around me. Especially my parents, I don't want to wait till it is their time is up and I start slapping myself for not telling them how much they mean to me. I did not tell Miss Tan how much I appreciated her until I saw her suffer.

On the 26th, it was Miss Cat Lee's wedding. I went to her ceremony. Lots of Assumptionites were there too. Saw some teachers like Mr Chow and Miss Poh.
Vanessa and Me
Aww...
When I get my A1 for E math, I will tell Miss Poh how much I am in love with her.
The bunch of us.
Heh, Grad Night is tomrrow. Going to get my beauty sleep. Can't wait. =)
Adieu.

Over just like that
Saturday, November 19, 2005
Finally, my O level examination is OVER. Can hardly believe that after my four years of education in AES is over like that. After studying for 2 years, the exam is over in 2 weeks. The first week of exam was fun. I enjoyed doing the paper, especially E math. If I am hoping for an A1, it would be E maths. English, Social Studies, History was fine. A math was easier than I expected, this A math paper BETTER be the one that I pass for the first time. Physics sucked, I put in all my efforts into physics the past few months and I still do not understand why I cannot do it. I am tired of putting in effort and nothing comes out of it. After the physics papers, I broke down and thought of another alternative. Well, that is to try for the Chemistry paper. I was skeptical. I have not touched Chemistry for at least 3 weeks, unless you count that time I threw all my chemistry stuff at a corner of my room. Lol. So, I tried for Chemistry. Thank god for Shu Ming, Frederick and Hao Quan for teaching me on friday in about 4 hours. They crammed everything I needed to know.
Van and me
Chilling on the beach
After tanning for 3 to 4 hours, we took a shower and left. We met Wei Chong and Ivan on the way out to Sentosa. Ivan was supposed to go to a friend's brithday party but she left. So he and Wei Chong were carrying this cake and were unsure of what to do with it. We went to the hawker centre at the interchange to have lunch. We pretended that it was Vanessa's and my brithday so we blew and candles and sang 'Happy Birthday'. Lol.
Blowing the candle
After that, we left Wei Chong and Ivan for town. At town, we saw this 6 year old busker. He was drumming away like a pro. Many of you must have heard of him or seen him on the streets of Orchard Road. He is Ethan Ong and he is real talented!!! When we were there, it was his 5 minutes break, he was listening to a piece of music that he was supposed to play. Apparently, it was his first time listening to it and after 5 minutes, he was playing it like a pro.
Ethan drumming
We met Conan, Edwin and Shan Ling in town and went shopping. I bought Edwin his brithday present. I have lots of friends having their birthday in November and I need to do some shopping. I bought two pairs of Havaianas, a t-shirt that says 'Asian Wonder Woman' from New Urban Male.
That's me
We met the boys from school at heeren. Alfy, Damien, John Paul, Moses, Ameer, Reynold and Benedict. Alfy bought his blazer for the grad night. After that, we went to Far East Plaza. On the way there, we were mesmerised by the lightings for Christmas.
Edwin, me and Van
Along the way to Far East Plaza, we saw Steven Lim. That infamous William Hung Wannabe-Yellow Trunks Singapore Idol Stripper-Street Eyebrow Plucker. Haha, I was so happy that I had my camera with me, so I went up to him and ask if I can take a picture with him. I almost lied to him that I am a fan of his. hahaha
Steven Lim and the Wonder Woman.
At Far East, we printed out photos and walked around the shopping centre. There were quite a few new shops there. Reminded me how long I have not been to Far East. Best thing of the day was that we saw Olinda-one of the Singapore idols. She seemed to have really lost weight. So we went up to her and ask to take a picture with her.
Shit, I blinked. =(
After that, I went to meet my mum at Wisma Atria and continued shopping. Darn, my legs were aching from walking the whole day. Bought another Roxy tee and Paul Frank shorts. My day ended well. =)
Take care!

my piano
Sunday, November 13, 2005
It has been a really long time since I have played the piano.
Just now, I kept playing my favourite piece (Marriage D'Amour - Richard Clayderman) over and over again and realised how much I missed practicing.
5 more days...

my favourite place
Saturday, November 12, 2005
Last night, I was on my way home on the car. I was on the highway where I saw the most breathtaking view of Singapore. Sadly, my camera was not with me.
I love the nightview of the Singapore River. You can see The Fullerton, the Esplanade, and the other skyscrapers in Shenton Way. I love the twinkling of the lights from the building, I love how majestic the Fullerton looks. How nice is it to take a boat ride in the river with someone special...
Anyway, the O level is here already. I took my English, E Math and Social Studies paper already. Thank god I studied Venice, or I definately cannot do any other essay questions. English was alright, and I am really happy about E Math. In paper 1, I think I have lost about 4 marks already and paper 2, was really easy. I am hoping for an A1 for E Math.
Next week, I will be taking A Math, Physics and History.
6 more days till it's ALL OVER...
can't wait ;)
