Hello peeps I'm back. Yes I'm back in sunny and humid Singapore but GUESS WHAT, I'M SO GLAD TO BE BACK. I got quite homesick while I was overseas cos I miss the safety and efficiency of Singapore. I really appreciate my home country much more now. I know, this sounds really over patriotic and stuff but I really love SG! Hahahha. Ok if I have time, I'll do a complete photo post k, but for now, just know that I really enjoyed myself overseas :D

Best moments of my trip were Busch Garden, the bestest theme park in Orlando, and Alcatraz, the ex prison for dangerous criminals in San Fran. Hong Kong was just eat eat eat eat but the food was really good cos my mum knew the best dishes in town so we ate good food all the way. The worst part was that HK was SUPER polluted. Maybe ya'll would have heard of it on the news, but I'm telling you here that it is 100% TRUE. It's so hazy and everywhere I go I smell either cigarette smoke, which is ABSOLUTELY cannot stand, or haze. Luckily we left before it got worse, cos on the last day on the way to the airport, all I could see was the road side plants on the highway, beyond that is just a white screen, I am dead serious. It's really very bad. SG rocks really. San Fran was quite scary cos got alot of beggars around and the roads are really quiet and scary at night. SG is so safe and our transport system is so efficient hahahhaha. Ok I'm like singing praises of SG non-stop but it's really how I feel!! Lol.

Can't wait to meet all my friends and catch up!!!!!!!! Anticipate a photo post k, cos I'll try to make time and do it. OK BYE PEOPLE and enjoy the rest of 2009 wahahha.

K, this is it guys. I've been longing to fly ever since my Killiney Kopitiam mugging days, staring at the luggages and flight attendants. And here I am, in a few hours time, flying off to USA. WOOHOO!!! The best part is I'm STOPPING AT KOREA FOR 1 HOUR!! Gonna breathe in as much Korean air as possible haha and I'll be like SUPER CLOSE to my boyfriend for 1 hour! YAY. Our love story so tragic right hahahahha.

(Btw my prom photos are finally up on facebook.)

Okkkaaayy I'm leeeaving on a jet plane, ok no la it's just Boeing 777 or something, SIA!! (yay got like alot of movies, I heard ^^) Enjoy yourselves in Singapore people! Don't miss me too much! I know I'm SO gonna regret missing church camp, dancing with the unit dancers for El Talento, and performing for Christmas service arggghhhhh!!! :'( But I'm still gonna leave tomorrow, so yup, this is it.

BYE, until 26th~

Prom was really fun. It zoomed by in like an instant! During prom I really felt like I was in a dream. Maybe cos it was dark and all, but yeah it really passed very fast. And this is like what we've all been waiting for after As, but it didn't feel like very WOAH you know what I mean haha. Nonetheless, I got all the pictures that I wanted, hopefully I didn't miss anyone out!!! It was really fun lah. Like our table, table 10, was SUPER lucky! I got the 17th lucky draw prize, I won some microsoft hardware thingy that I'm just gonna give my dad, Weijie won tickets to flyer, and ZAN, she got FIRST PRIZE which are two tickets to Thailand via Thai Airways, not Jetstar haha! LUCKY ANOT!! Also, we won the table game and we all got some bear and free subway sandwiches. Yayyy so fun hahahaha. I'm not gonna post any pictures here, wanna see go my facebook album, which, I would create after I come back from JC district chalet :):)

Oh and post prom was really an experience haha. Of course I stayed very clean, no dirty dancing or drinking. I'm very good kid manzzz. Got a few scary encounters, but it's all part of the experience! It was quite fun lah, as long as you've got friends to protect you and you keep clean and restrain yourself. Yupzzz. Sleptover at Zan's house twice. Won't be seeing everyone till like next year!! I'll really miss VJ alot, like the 4 years I spent here really..wow I don't think anything can describe it man. Yeah. I'll miss all my friends too! :(:( But well, we'll keep in touch!! At least with the ones who matter :)

K bye peeps, I'm going off to another chalet. Slept at 5.30am yesterday. Call me crazy. Haha.

(P/S: Just wanna share a verse that was my conviction last year.
No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. (Matthew 6:24)
There are some people out there who this verse applies to. The decision, for me, and even more so the execution, was very very difficult. But I have never regretted it. God is such a wise God and we really have to trust Him that He has our best interests at heart. He'll never shortchange us. I could do it, stop before you get any deeper.)

我上星期便秘到很辛苦。最近一有想要大便的感觉就不敢去厕所。:(

Is it really possible? I mean, how could it be possible to fall in love with someone I don't even know??! Okay maybe "love" is a pretty strong word, how about "crazily obsessed" or "has a ginormous crush on"..yeah. It's not even the character that attracted me, but him as a person, wow it's so attractive!! He's like the perfect guy haha. I can't get my eyes or ears off him. I keep watching his youtube videos and googling about him and show. It's crazy, I know. I'll get over this phase sooner or later, but now I'm swimming in my own pool of fantasies hahaha. Don't stop me x) Anyway, it's much easier to like a star that's far far away (for those who watch YB, pun intended haha) than one that is near you, right?

Sorry I haven't been updating people. I'm kinda too 'busy' to blog for the past few days. Have been caught up with watching this korean drama called You're Beautiful. I'm officially addicted!! Finished 16 episodes in 3 days hahaha. The story is really nice. And I think the length is just nice, not as draggy as other idol dramas. But it's a same cookie cutter korean story, dao charismatic rich guy and cute innocent kind hearted girl fall in love, another guy who secretly likes and protects her, and that girl is surrounded by handsome guys. Haha it's like the same in every idol drama except in different contexts. But it's STILL NICE TO WATCH!! xDDD

WARNING: Going into fangirl mode!


Here's the poster of the drama.

This is how the guy usually looks in the show, with his black eyeliner giving the fierce look. Actually there isn't much eyeliner in this pic but it's the closest I could get lol. His name is Jang Geun Suk.


And this is my (plus alot of other girls') favourite photo of him. He totally doesn't look like himself here but it's so cute and charming HAHAHA 8))))

The korean wave has hit many of us well and hard. I'm just an innocent victim ^^ teeheehee.

Oh and since dancing on saturday morning, after not dancing for like months, I've been aching really bad :( On sunday I couldn't even get out of bed la..lay there stoning for 45 mins before rolling out hahaha. Mannn I'm soo super rusty and stiff x_x and I was also tired from going out like everyday and playing from morning to night since after art paper lol. Bio mcq shouldn't have been so late and far away from the other papers. Totally no mood manzzzzzz. Ok I'm just ranting here, really gotta go do more mcqs before tomorrow T_T kthxbye.

(P/S: I've watched New Moon already!!! Watched with Celeste on saturday after church. Well the movie sucked, as in the movie itself wasn't good. Bad transitions and scripts, well the main actors didn't act well, but I thought the Volturi, aka DAKOTA FANNING!!! was great :D Love her she's so pro!! So if you're not a Twilight fan, just watch something else haha. My sis said Mulan is nice..)

To be honest, this isn't really the 'after A level' feeling that I expected. I kinda ruined it even before the exams ended and got myself into this really tangled mess, in my own hair. Ok not literally hair hair, but you know what I mean. On top of that, today wasn't really a very fun-filled happy day either, which makes it worse.

Speaking about hair, I bet yall are wondering what happened to mine. Well, the guy permed it. Yup my hair looks like goldilocks' now. When it was done the curls were quite tight, but he said it'll loosen up within 1-2 weeks, so don't laugh when you see me in ah ma hair. And I was quite upset about it today cos I know you ppl are giving me the 'its ugly' look but just don't wanna tell me. It's okay, I know it for myself. Just hope it'll look better when the curls loosen up..

Me Zan and Sharon went prom dress shopping today. Well ok Zan bought hers already and Sharon's buying tmr with her mom, so it's really just me getting it. Looked everywhere but couldn't find anything. And I was even further disappointed and upset cos it seemed like I nothing fitted me. Plus, I totally forgot about the surprise visit we were supposed to make at Mr Loh's house tonight. URGH and I didn't go in the end cos I asked my sister to watch movie with me, before Aaron called me to ask when I was joining them. I feel so dumbbb!!! :'( I really want to visit Mr Loh but stupid me FORGOT. ARGHHHHH

Anyway, we watched A Christmas Carol, but it wasn't as nice as I expected. Definitely better than The Informant though, DEFINITELY. Haiz but I'm still bummed about missing the surprise at Loh's :(

Then the only highlight of the day came when I finally found my dress after the movie. I really like it so yeah it's like the only good thing that's happened to me in days.

Hope tmr turns out better. Having caregroup at Chia's :)

HI EVERYONE A LEVELS IS FINALLY UNOFFICIALLY OVER YAY YAY YAY.
I'M SO BORED OF MY LONG STRAIGHT HAIR I'M GONNA GET A NEW HAIRCUT TOMORROW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE COS I'M JUST GONNA ASK THE HAIRDRESSER TO DO WHATEVER HE THINKS WILL SUIT MY FACE. SO I HOPE IT DOESN'T TURN OUT UGLY, BUT IF IT REALLY FAILS, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME FEEL WORSE BY LAUGHING AT ME. THX.

FAQ about Althea's hair:

1. Is your hair rebonded/straightened?
Sorry folks, but no, my hair is naturally very straight. In fact it's so straight cos it's long and heavy, when it was shorter it used to stick out like a spoilt broom. IP friends yall should remember my disastrous hair hahaha.

2. Is your hair dyed/highlighted?
Urm sorry too but my hair is naturally brown. And yes under the light you can even see lighter brown streaks that look like highlights. But no it ain't fake, it's cos my hair is bleached by the sun. I got that 'condition' from my mom haha! As you can see, my hair is all naturale :)

Today after SOVA the art people went to have dinner and then watch a movie. We wanted to watch 2012 but only left front 3 rows, but some people like IAN HO said that too near the screen T_T so in the end, some other people like HAN HAO claims that The Informant! is a good movie so we stupidly believed him. GUESS WHAT. It was about PRICE FIXING and lotsa economics, business, corporate stuff. Fancy going for such a movie AFTER A LEVELS gosh. And the poster claimed that it was 'entertaining' and 'funny', pfft! DO NOT WATCH IT. I'm warning you. I don't even know why it's NC16!! There's NOTHING explicit, whether sexually or vulgar-ly. Seriously the movie sucks :(

Anyway so yeah I'm officially gonna play until sunday, and start studying for bio again on monday hahaha. YAYYYYY SO EXCITING! :D

My sister's o level ended last week.
The same sister just had her prom on friday.
My other sister had her school's gala dinner on that same day.
That was also the day I took my econs case study paper.
I just spent 9 hours at the airport studying today.
Tomorrow the sister who has finished her o levels is gonna fly off to Taiwan for 9 days on holiday with her friends.
And tomorrow I sit for my bio paper 3; I still have 2 more other papers.

:(

Hi. I haven't really been updating haha, and for a good reason really. Well econ's finally OVERRRR and off my shoulders yayyy!! But it ain't goodbye if I'm gonna take business in uni, well we'll see about that. So far, the papers have been...I dunno. I really cannot tell if I'm gonna do well cos anything can happen. I'm just gonna leave it in God's safe hands :)

Anyway, I've finished watching antm cycle 13 and project runway season 6!! Like two consecutive days of season finales!! HAHA shiok right!!!

*spoiler*
I'm soooooo happy Nicole won!! xDDD antm hasn't had like my favourite winner ever since cycle 5's Nicole and 7's Caridee. But this season's my favourite yet!! I've been rooting for her from the start and I'm soooooper happy she won :DDDDD Runner up Laura was also nice too. But she's not as pretty, though she's a really really sweet girl. I liked Jennifer too! Her hair and body is damn hot hahah.
AND AND AND this season's project runway is really yuck. The designers are not fantastic, although I must say the finale's designs were much better than the usual episodic standards. I was wishing Althea would win! I rmb the first time I watched the first episode, with Zaki in the art room, (that time I was still painting my coursework HAHAHH long long ago man!) and we both thought Althea looked like she wouldn't make it far. BUT GUESS WHAT. She's the runner up!! Ok lah I'm still happy cos HOORAY FOR THE ALTHEAS! :D I liked Carol Hannah too, cos she's really sweet and I'm hoping she'll somehow end up with Logan in real life HAHAHA. They are cute tgt! So yeah the winner is Irina. No surprise lah she's been strong all these while and her collection was really WOW. She was really daring and I LOVED the edgy hats and hair! LOVED IT. So I guess she deserves to win.
*end of spoiler*

OKAYYYY before I go I shall leave yall with a photo ahahha. That day I was studying in the airport, as usual, and I enjoyed a damn shiok hour of emptiness and quietness! Cos that was the morning when people had CHEM, but I don't have MUAHAHA. I found a new place to study, Killiney kopitiam in T3. Turns out that Angeline introduced it to Grace, who told Alicea about it, who told me. Hahahha! But it's a really good place to study in cos it's quite quiet. And btw, it's not my secret hideout, of you're wondering. That's still a secret x)


The empty study haven :)

You gotta love them :) f(x)!! I'm gonna learn the dances after As wahahahaha!

This morning, I woke up to find that my time of the month came today, yes the day of my first paper. And thereafter, I began to have really really bad cramps, like worse than before. And I realised it's caused by the combined effect of cramps and stomach upset. Soon, I diarrhoea-ed and vomited. And I didn't just vomit, I induced it. Cos after awhile, I realised that just diarrhoea-ing was not gonna take my pain away. And I couldn't swallow anything, but I had to, cos the anti-cramp pill has to be taken with food if not I'll get gastric. So I induced my vomit. Yes I learnt from the bulimic girls, stuck my third finger down my throat and forced myself to puke. It was an ugly sight. I didn't know puking was so painful. It's like my whole throat and mouth was stinging with acid and my throat muscle was aching. After regurgitating my stomach acid, I just sat on the toilet floor, too weak to even move. But I knew I had to drink water to clear the acid in my throat, so I dragged myself up. Ate a piece of bread and the anti-cramp medicine. Felt much better, but I kinda wasted 1.5 hours which I could've done doing integration or something (which was the stupid qn I made a huge careless mistake on)

So suay right. Math was really bad. I'm sure to kiss my A goodbye. GP and bio tmr, if they're both gonna kill me like math did, I'm so dead!

Just got an email from the HOD, it goes like this:

Dear Students

Hope you are prepared and ready for your A-levels exam by now.
