At home with the Js

Made a supposedly hearty breakfast for Jolene and Jinyi when they came over to my house in the morning. Some parts failed - Jinyi said my waffles taste like biscuits while my french toast were charred in the pan. Lesson learnt: When making french toast, be generous with the oil and heat over low fire. Haha anyway, made waffles, french toast, mushroom soup, egg omelette and sausages. Haha Jinyi was expecting me to be some professional cook making waffles and soup from scratch but please la, I just popped open a can of Campbell's and toasted some pre-made frozen waffles and sausages and voila! Haha well, both finished the entire meal anyway.. I guess they were just hungry.

Watched Prom Night which was abit boring. just kill and kill :/ Haha so basically just squeezed around in my cosy couch !

Then Jo went home.

Jinyi and I just slacked around the house, looked at my childhood photos then we went to NTUC to get ingredients for her lunch.

Felt like a maid today. Haha like just cook and clean cook and clean. But quite satisfying luh I must say. I cooked noodles for her for lunch before she left for training but it was horribly SALTY omg ewww never gonna touch oyster sauce again.. at least for now. She said it was ok though, think her tastebuds got something wrong

See. Really look like some housewife aunty right.

But my efforts were not wasted 'cos she said quite nice :) And right after she ate...

'I very sleepy now...' & poof! fell asleep in like 2 minutes. Swear I didn't spike her noodles!

Haha well she didn't get to sleep much cos she had to go for waterpolo trng. So I walked her to the bus stop, my way of repaying her since she was really very nice to help me wash the bowls

At my house bus stop :)

PW : The Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) group- TJ 087!

love ya'll!

Haha this is damn funny I'm online with Garret and since he's the organizer of SLCongress, I'm trying to get him to assure me that it'll be fun (despite the job hunting) and get him to put some hot guy in my group hahaha lmao damn freaking funny his reaction.

Shopping with Jo was great today :) I was 20 minutes later but when I got there still had to wait for her cos she naively went to the 18th floor for some survey and the person said 30% of her body weight is fat and that she'll die before the age of 50. Like wtf man, seriously. They were just trying to get you to join the stupid slim thing! Then after that survey, she said like 'I am fat' like at least 10 times. Hahaha ahyo.

V happy with my buys today - One light-coloured denim blazer jacket, 3 colourful bracelets, one pair of red flats, a really cool grey bag and a dress that Jo got together with me :) All for 75 bucks! Haha

Okay, I gotta think of last-minute addition to my grocery list if not the two little pigs that are coming to my house to eat my warm and hearty breakfast tomorrow will complain. Bye!

Nat's 17th Birthday!

It's a beautiful day!
Woke up when the sun shone on me today, no alarm clocks, no messages.
Got out of bed, brushed my teeth.
Made my own warm breakfast of waffles with maple syrup & jam, egg omelette , sausages, along with a cup of fruit juice.
Lying on the couch now, blogging.
Just texted Jo to meet at Orchard for shopping.
This is the life.
Bliss <3

PW IS OVER.

Omg omg omg omg omg pw is over!
i swear ive waited long and hard for this day to come.
all those sleepless nights, those panda rings, those eyebags that made me 'look like i come out from the rubbish bin' in the morning (quotes jinyi) has officially been a thing of the past.
From PI, to EoM, to thinking of a good topic, to GPP, WR, I&R and finally OP, YES YES YES IVE DID IT!!!
Words are not even enough to express my immense joy and relief.
Our group has come a longggggg wayyy. From those days we spent in school trying to brainstorm for intersting topics, to thinking of games, to editing countless mistakes in our WR, to thinking and making the theme for our slides, photos, everything, we really did it today. We gave it our best, didn't we? :) And we didn't let each other down. I'm so proud of that :))
Our ACTUAL OP today went quite well, and we were lucky to be in the same OP classroom as Jo's group cos they're v nice and they help calm us down and I think both our groups can get along v well. So glad our group went through the OP experience with Jo, Jinyi, Ad, Gladys and Leslie. Ahh what a sweet closure to everything :) Our presentation went well, no faulty techinical errors and everyone spoke well. Those hours of OP-camping at nat's hse yesterday paid off huh :) Haha I was a little nervous at first, plus I was cold, my legs started trembling a little at some point, but I soon got over it and managed to chill and speak as though I was enjoying my presentation (which in fact I was!). With my classmates supporting me in the first row, it's really much easier as it calms your nerves alot. I mean, just compare it with a stranger PW group giving you doubtful looks.. Eeks. And Q&A went well too. Before OP Diane said whoever said 'um' would have to treat the rest of the group to lunch haha in the end she said um like 4 times la! Haha. I think I hid my nerves pretty well during Q&A , though my answer was a bit short. My question was 'What are the problems you will expect to face by conducting De-Volumification?'. Once I finished answering the question and thanked the accessors, I felt a huge load of my chest. Like every single microscopic cell in my body was shouting 'YOU ARE DONE WITH PW!!!'

Anw..
Daddy God has blessed us, I'm very thankful. Just got home from Ad's house and am going out with Jo tomorrow to get stuff for camp.
Freedom, you taste extremely sweet.

The end of PW has too marked the end of my J1 year. Looking back, many good and bad things have happened to me along the way. Getting into detention, failing tests.. but along the way getting into dance exco, and making really great friends from class. I'm extremely thankful and I feel awfully blessed for the good friends I've met this year esp Joyce, Jolene, Pam and Jinyi. I must say these 4 have stuck by me through everything. And they've been the ones that light up my otherwise boring days in school. So cheesy but so true.

Went Tamp 1 after school. Went to the rooftop to play games and walked around and around then went to Ad's house for awhile for donut-cum-uno party with Hakim and Leslie. Lol omg Hakim's hilarious I swear. the 'close one eye and ahya just close two eyes!' and the 'islam does not allow you to touch girlssss' was freaking funny lah omg can die laughing.

EDIT/ HAHA OK THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. COPIED FROM AD HUBBY'S BLOG;

Me (adnaan) : Muslim's cannot gamble!
Hakim: Haiyo now just close 1 eye can la, close 1 eye 2 eye also can la ! (Covered both eyes with his hands LOL).

Another one:
Hakim: Damnit why are we playing murderer with cards its so fake! I need a Knife damnit. (LOL must imagine him saying it).

Very happy day! Am gonna have very sweet dreams tonight :)

Note to self: Make up your mind and stop being confused before you drag others into your state of confusion too.

All our efforts, all boiled down to that single presentation. Everything counts this time.
Tomorrow, we're gonna speak with so much confidence as if our project is one of the best in the world.
Our group sure had its ups and downs, but nat's right, look at our OP slides now. We've come a long way huh :) Our presentation skills have improved alot too.
I'll pray tonight.
That all our hard works will pay off.
I'm sure Daddy God will bless us :)
Love, D.

I'm having a break from OP meeting.. today's meeting is quite productive yet slack at the same time (who says those two can't go together?)
haha well..
Diane looks like a maid today. Her hair tied damn low damn funny. Then she like stand at the door wait for her Ma'am or Sir to come back.
Nat's playing the guitar.
Hakim and Garret are romanticising by the swing.. I'm serious.

Haha ok such a pointless post, gtg now tata!
OP tomorrow, God bless us!

When we get bored during OP meetings..

Hakim started it!

We are often unaware of the things that may get us into deep shit.
Yesterday I did something real stupid, senseless, reckless, something that could have gotten me in deep trouble. My regret and fear only started to subside a little when Hakim did something which I must admit was pretty clever of him to do so. Hence the previous post. Wow Hakim, your light finally came through! Impressed. And i gotta thank God too <3

Today we're camping at Diane's house. I'm gonna take nice photos as a keepsake for one of our last pw meetings.
And omg, I SWEAR MY LEFT EYE FELT LIKE AS THOUGH THERE WAS A PIECE OF CELLOPHANE STUCK TO IT LAST NIGHT, though there wasn't. Think it's my contacts, might be overdue. Definitely don't want to go to OP with a sore eye, so I threw it away. This morning I woke up and I guess that cellophane melted cos I don't feel the pain anymore (:

Hakim, YOU THE MAN!

The irony of life
Some people go by the saying, 'Go with the flow. Take one thing at a time. Treasure every moment you have, don't think too much into the future, just cherish the present'. While others live by the rule, 'What's life without a dream, what's life without an ambition. No ambition? That makes you a loser'.
I stumbled upon this today.
Having to fill up a drop form from H2 to H1, even though I'm appealing, it means that I have to choose between dropping Bio or dropping Econs. It's tough, it may seem minor to those who who already know what they want to achieve in life, but definitely not for me. I do admire those that are entirely sure of what they want to achieve in this short amount of time we have on Earth. But that admiration does not equate to me being sure of what I want to achieve, right?

Honestly, I'm torn between dropping Econs or Bio because I'm not at the stage where I am capable of telling myself ' Okay, I want to do something related to Science' or 'I'm sure I want to do something related to business'. I think it's hard, for a 17 year old to (sort of) decide on which career path I would like to take.

Not that I've no ambition. Just that I haven't found THAT SOMETHING I want to do for the rest of my life, that something that I would be able to both enjoy yet reap monetary benefits at the same time. Ambition? I've had, tons of them.
I wanted to be a doctor, a nutritionist, a childcare teacher, a chef, a writer, a photographer, and in recent years, something got to do with marketing.

I'm now down to two. Medical or Business? I've been told by almost everyone I asked that I have the look of businesswoman and at the same time, I've also been told that I look like the kind of doctor that will end up ruining people's life instead of saving them. Hahaha hmm, maybe after I stitch up a person's body I'll go.. ' Oops, I left my scalpel inside!'. Haha I honestly think I'm more inclined towards Business then Medical, even though Bio is easier to score than Econs.

Ok, I shall stop this contemplation or I will never end.. Right now, I'm gonna dig in to my Mos's Triple Prawn Burger and Clam Chowder mummy bought for me, while I look at some pre-requisites sites on NUS and SMU.

Oh, and did I mention, I totally screwed OP Q&A today 'cos I said 'Get it?' to F. Honestly didn't mean it in a sarcastic way but it came out wrong. Oh well, I learnt something today. And I was pretty relaxed during OP presentation (as compared to the previous one) because half the time I was just looking at Jinyi's sleeping face.. Haha
