it's "follow cousin to work day"!

sry this isnt d holiday post i promised, but d pics re still in d camera and im nt really in d mood to blog abt hw we spent 3 days juz eatin and sleepin.

today... my cousin took me arnd her workin area and told me all abt construction jobs.
believ it or nt, i wasnt put off but was even more facinated than before!

to begin d story... you all knw tht KC has been a construction site for d past 5 yrs, right?
and last yr, 2sca's classroom was right beside d latest site, d science block.
watchin d buildin grow every day was a new experience and it was then tht i found an interest in construction.

but 99.99% o d ppl i knw, includin my dad and friends, advised me against goin into construction.
reason: it's a guy's world.
right.

still... i believ tht all i want to do is construction.

today, after goin over almost everythng tht's involved in buildin a... building,
ive narrowed it dwn to architecture and structural engineering.

ok, lets look at both (based on my summary o today).
architecture requires a fair bit o imagination, a certain level o drawin skills, a lot o determination (while studyin), and ability to withstand large amount o stress.

structural engineers hafta b gd at calculatin (ie PHYS O.O), gd at logical thinkin, and knwledge o buildin materials.

and look at these ref i gt fr a site:
for civil engineerin- talent for organisation and analytical thinking who are interested in mathematics, natural science and technology, having a poor spatial sense constitutes an obstacle.

for architecture- able to work independently and creatively, students continually fail because they are not creative enough. good spatial awareness, main difficulty involved in the study of architecture is the amount of work that needs to be done.

then look at this link (architecture): http://community.livejournal.com/architecture/285693.html
and this: http://www.studyoverseas.com/uk/uked/archit.htm



my conclusion,
i like architectue drawings,
but i like SE's work.
so...?
gnna sleep on it.


nitez~

my day

went and gt my hair cut today.
then went for japanese buffet at a place called jogoya, star hill.

first, my mom told me tht it's a "high-class" place,
so i gt ready to wear a skirt and high heels.
then my dad said it's ok to wear jeans and sport shoes,
but i ended up in jeans and high heels.
turns out... ppl were wearin shorts (d very short kind girls w long legs like to wear)=.=...

d food wasnt too bad la...
gt a whole lot o stuff to choose fr!
it's like d sch canteen multiplied by 3 maybe...
and there's hagen daaz ice-cream, puddin, 8 diff types o fruit juices to choose for dessert...

i had raw fish! d stuff my mom calls... erm... sashimi??
my sis was d worse... she ate everythng we gav her, and tht includes oysters, jellyfish, 1/4 boiled egg, lobster...

went there w my neighbours, a total o 3 moms, 3 teens (2 o my bro's age) and 7 kids.
SEVEN!! looked like a kindergarten outin on d escalator...

well... nt very excitin... but i gt food so im nt complainin=p
sigh~ when cn i gt a camera?? (or a phone w camera)
gt addicted to photographin every outin...

oh btw... i finally went to gt my "liu hai" (fringe) cut...
ppl hav been naggin at me for weeks cuz my hair (+hair clip) was against d sch rules...
it looks........... flat.
metaphorically.
or mayb tht's becuz i still miss my long hair... haha~ i knw it's been 3 mths...

currently up to my ears researchin scholarships...
i knw tht my results re nt d best, but dad says tht if i could hav a chance to ease his financial burden then why nt try...
so let me knw if anyone has info...

k tht's bout it... promise to hav sme pics for my nxt post...
goin to kuantan w family tmr!
i'd b even darker then...
lol~ wont b arnd till fri (and im nt bringin my phone) so dont miss me=p~

random

oh ya... was juz scrollin dwn my blog to see if i left sme promise unfulfilled,
and i saw my wish list...

cecelia ahern's bks
can you keep a secret? (by sophie kinsella)
a watch

and guess wht??


i've gt them!!!
bought cecelia's "a place called here" and "where rainbows end" and "can you keep a secret?" at d mph bks sales
and my dad juz took me out to buy a watch (on my wrist this very sec in fact).

wow... i've quite forgotten d list and seein them made me feel like wishes do cme true.

SPM results

my dad told me tht i did well.
and he gt me a new watch.





O.O

tht's when i finally felt d impact o my SPM results.

cuz when i gt my results i've felt tht it wasnt very valuable,
it's only SPM (O-lvls) and it's so much easier than SUEC.
so i didnt think too much o it.

but after my cousins and aunts, even my grandma,
made a big fuss out o my results (we had cake to celebrate yesterday),
and nw this unexpected present fr my dad...

i suddenly realised, mayb i did nt bad for my SPM.

lol~ wht a relief XP

one o my primary emo these days

"lonely, i am so lonely, so very lonely~~"
rem d song? d crazy frog one.
well, im nt as lonely as tht la,
but...

lately i kept feelin left out,
all thru my high sch life, i did nt join in many class activities,
cuz i stay in d hostel,
cuz my parents are strict,
cuz i used to put d volleyball team first,
or juz cuz im too quiet...

i used to think tht was ok,
nt joinin in stuff like goin to d canteen together,
smsing each other d nite before d exams,
singin karaoke after every exam,
goin to friends' hses for parties or a sleepover,
goin around petalin street after sch...

but nw i felt tht,
if i didnt do tht, i dont belong in d crowd.

of course, i had a diff kinda fun,
midnite b'day parties,
eatin 3 meals a day together,
stayin up late w d whole hostel durin exams,
plannin hostel activities etc,
but noone seems to care bout those.

if i had chosen a diff life,
would i have a better sense o belongin w my classmates?

but i had chosen this lifestyle,
and though one can choose a diff path at life's crossroads, one does nt make a U-turn.

juz so lonely....

tht hurts...

i lost all d msges in my phone.






my gosh, i do miss them.

fr qing on my 16th b'day, d complete lyrics o "lao po"

fr yying on d same day, d complete lyrics o "is your b'day happy?"

fr panda, again on tht day, as well as last yr, b'day wishes fr far-away china

fr tim, msges tht could always make me smile, w/o fail

fr sunflower, a gdbye msg when she resigned as our hostel warden

fr 学长, msges tht make me stop sniffin

fr my 姐姐, "of course i love you too"

fr my friends, all d fowarded msges tht are less meaningful than d friendship tht prompted them to send d msges

d gdnite or gd luck msges

and many many more......


i knew tht d msges themselves werent important,
but i needed them to remind me tht i was...
tht i was important enough for ppl to send me msges tht could make me laugh, smile or cry...

sry, mom, for yellin at you for deletin my inbox...
but you juz couldnt imagine hw much those msges mean to me.


i knw you ppl might say, wht's d big deal if you've practically gt those msges memorised?
yeah, it's nt a big deal... for an 18-yr-old.
well mayb i dont wnna b mature yet.




thx wern, for callin.
noone could ease d pain, but you did share it.

last interclass game

like to use this blog to upload pics... cuz it's way faster than d msn space (on my comp la)!
so... my last volleyball match representin my class in KC...
lets look at some pics tht say wht i feel much better than words...

this yr finally realized d importance o this part o d game...
d "sr3sc jiayou jiayou jiayou!!!" part...
all these hands show tht we care... and tht we are ONE CLASS.

thx so much to them for playin... felt so glad to hav them for my teammates!
for yellin, cryin (a lil la), fallin down, rollin all over d ground (ok, mayb tht's a lil exaggerated), and nvr stop fightin~~

i nearly had to kick her out before she would let herself b substituted (d girl in bsktbll shoes)...
this is so like my team!
every yr and for nearly every game i had to shout and scream at them to stay in one piece,
nt in terms o stayin sane but in terms o body parts!
haha~ they nvr manage to gt thru a game safely!
nearly gav me a heart attack when these ppl, who has gt a badly sprained hand, a couple o strained shoulders and more than a dozen bruises and cuts between them,
try to run into each other and hav a closer relationshp w d ground all thru d game...

i'd miss these conferences...
thx lots for respectin me and nvr laughin at me for all my "wise talk"!
my last game as captain...
i'd nvr forget d sense o belongin and love o bein a TEAM...

even d referee couldnt stop herself fr gettin dwn fr her post to say, "good luck!"
accordin to her, noone could deny tht our class is d best team, tht is, best in team spirit~

this is d sr3sc volleyball team09...
we lost 3 games out of 6 this yr, nt really our best effort, but wht we won was more than a title...
it was friendship, a love for d game, joy and laughter (think o all d embarassin scenes like an air-ball) and much, much more.

"sr3sc, 你是我的Hero, sr3sc, 我们一起加油~"
of course, d credit also goes to all tht hav taken part in d interclass games (as players or cheerleaders) all thru these yrs...
my most sincere thx to you guys!!

interclass games, a shining part o my high sch life.
