vietnam today, candice's flight today.
It's 105am haha. I'm going vietnam tomorrow afternoon(or...today?) to hunt for a house and take school tests. I hope I get into the bis, man, iss hcmc just didn't really appeal to me.
I'm actually supposed to be packing, but I'm taking a kopibreak, so.
Candice's flight leaves tonight. At 1140pm. After reading chenyi's blog I am determined not to creep into a corner and cry! Yes, I shall be strong. And maybe in vietnam in my hotel room I'll hug the crooked neck qiao butt picture of candice me and her collab-ed on that march18 planners' meeting and watch cable knowing that she'll be back. :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one with secrets.

househunting card, cheryl's birthday :), the new world/pocahantas
Church today wasn't very productive. I was really sleepy cos of yesterday and I kinda. slept through much of the sermon. :(
Ah well. Signed up for camp today :) today's the last day!
Karen gave me a househunting card thing on two namecards, it's cute! And it's a fat load more than what all you other ingrates have done for me!!
And hingying you still owe me my mao bag from like last year okay, I wannit!
anyway after church me smellanie smelissa hannah michelle zoe derek adrian darryltan valmond shawnie nick and umm a few other guys -_-' there were so many. We went to paradiz centre's foodcourt for cheryl's birthday! :) Twasn't really good or anything, just normal foodcourt food, and the guys only wanted to go to paradiz to play dota hahaha.
We girls took a stand against dota, so us plus shawnie and nick went over to the new cathay building to catch a flick. Haha Cheryl was actually considering sneaking me hannah and smellanie into V for Vendetta, until smelissa pointed out that they don't refund your ten dollars, so if they saw through us, we'd have wasted thirty bucks.
So in the end me hannah cheryl and shawnie watched The New World! It's basically just another version of pocahantas 1 and 2.
And check out what me and hannah had said when we saw the trailer weeks ago.
me: EHH! It's Pocahantas!
hannah: No it's not! There isn't a girl!
a red indian girl flashes across the screen
me: See?! SEE?!?! I told you!
hannah: okay fine it's pocahantas!
the title flashes on,' The New World'HAHAHAHAAHAH
But we stayed to see the credits, and the red indian girl really was called Pocahantas, heh. I'M ALWAYS RIGHT! :)
PLUS at one part pocahantas said " I like grass." Heh and I am really amused by this, cos if you knew me you'd know
I usually say things like this! Hoho!
Giggled home with hannah. She's gonna move to near my house on friday!

the kiapper :), candice's party! whoa I taste like raspberries!
Went for socialstudies remedial in the morning. Horrible, I was late again! And I wore my favourite pair of castoff jeans and the sec3 shirt, and yay I love the sec3 camp shirt! It's JUST the right shade of blue, so prettypretty. Haha! And I kept snoozing in ms leong's class. Oh, sheryle and siaochi are fun people :)
Went home and freshened up afterwards, lunched with my mum at clementi. Heh I brought the kiapper with me from home to show candice :)
Met hingying sara jiaen melissa felicia and rae at ginza after guitar. They were in the mcdonalds toilet pimpinnn' haha
Then melissa defined my eyes and made me up, and we went to singapore shopping centre, that dingy looking place besides park mall, for the modelling thing. And I don't think it's worth it, so I'm not gonna go for it. Andrea told me that the real legit ones don't make you pay for portfolios, they just do you up for free and send you on assignments, and she has her friend janelle as an example.
So anyway we went to ps after that for dinner and some milk, and I bought michelle and cheryl a present!
Then I cabbed all the way from there to bukit timah for candice's farewell party, 9 dollars only, andrea lives really near town, doesn't she! We've made plans for me to sleep over again before I leave. :)
Andrea said I looked cool in melissa's makeup, but I dunno, I don't feel comfortable. :( Washed off the depressive but cool looking makeup with andrea's help (she showed me off to candice before that -_-').
Candice's party was a blast, we threw her and shawnie into the pool haha! And I kiapped her and everyone else with the kiapper, I think I'll bringgit tomorrow too heh heh. Rachie came. Candice liked the shirt hannah and I made her! :)
So after it I went up to andrea's room and we just relaxed and talked for awhile. I MISS HER ROOM! haha!
whoa I taste like raspberries! :)

I influence hannah alooooot! :) what if they don't like meeee :(
Arrgh my school's gonna do an attire + general neatness spotcheck on monday. So I hafta hurry up and cut my hair!
Haha Aarti makes me laugh. :) Cos during math whenever mr tan talks about remainder theorem (RT) all the guys'll start saying "aarTI! AARti?" in varying tones hahaha
Plus colin calls her ahti and arti, and I think that's hilarious too!
HoF was great today. We talked about sowing seeds of christianity into your friends and reaping them later. Twas really good, I'm gonna apply it from now on whenever I try to convert people!
Hannah's so sweet, she told everyone how much of an influence I was to her! Haha! Oh and it seems that candice has influenced us ALL greatly. :) I'm gonna miss her alot alot.
So anyway I did the presentation! Yay! Good stuff, taking into account that most of it was right off the top of my head. They laughed when they were supposed to, and I told everyone how hannah 'idolised' me hahaha
Me and hannah were talking awhile back on how everyone's gonna miss candice, and how she had it tougher than all of us cos we would only miss one person (her) but she'd be missing all 40+ of us! And that got me thinking on how much I'm gonna miss everyone when I go to vietnam, even though it's only for a year. What if everyone forgets me! :( Or what if we all change too much and too differently and end up not being able to communicate with each other. :(((((
And what if those other expats' children think I'm too weird and be mean to me, like how michelle's friend michelle didn't seem to like me very much.
BUT! I also realise how God probably means for something good to happen to me in 'Nam, whther I'll be able to convert someone with His help, or grow stronger as a christian. So yay whatever happens it's meant to help me, and I love God alot, and i'm glad he's on my side. :)

calf spasm AGAIN. modelling place!
Tuesday morning I woke up with my right calf muscle spasming again -_-' I don't know why, either, I hadn't exercised for quite long!
Yesterday the modelling place that scouted me and felicia in town called and asked whether I could come down. :) So I set it for saturday 4+ for both of us! Yay.
My mommy shifted the Vietnam house/school scouting trip from Saturday till Wednesday to Wednesday till Monday! So I won't be missing candice's farewell party (I'm missing her sending off, though. :() and I'll miss more days of school. :)
Right now on schools it looks like it's either the british international school or the international school, hi chi minh city. And my mum is banking on the ISHCM cos it's supposedly right outside this service apartment that my parents are thinking of getting. And actually I don't really give a piece of egested material which, cos BOTH offer international O's and IB!

my maid's gone and the house hasn't been mopped for 2 days o_O
After church angelin joanne and I went to ps and took neoprints, heh heh. Then angelin had to go -_-' so me and joanne ate at mos burger. She says I am like a second Chia Erhn in habits and kelvin agrees. o_O I am flattered!
I realise how much my household cannot function without my maid (she left on Saturday :(). The floor hasn't been mopped since saturday cos my mum is too busy and I don't know how to mop floors -_-'. Our dirty laundry's piling up higher and higher, again because my mum is too busy and I don't know how to operate the washing machine, let alone handwash them. There isn't anyone to make my dinner, AGAIN cos my mum's too busy and I am scared of fire (I vaguely remember how to cook okay! God bless home econs.) due to traumatising events that happened to me when my mum tried to teach me how to fry stuff.
I MISS MERLE :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((finished up a week's worth of homework in like 3 hours at around 9pm.
See, that's the problem with me. I know the consequences of playing all the time during holidays and working all night on the last day, but I still do it, cos I KNOW I can finish everything in one day. :(
Slept at around 2am, but surprisingly, I didn't sleep at all in school today! I think there's something wrong with me -_-'
Went out with hannah again today to make candice's farewell shirt. and --tadaa-- it is made! Yay it's so pretty I can't stand it. :) And our names are on it, so whether she likes it or not she'll always remember us!

MARCH18 , ode to candice
Today was MARCH18!!!! Woohoo! I hitched a ride on karen's dad's car to church. The other churches were pretty cool, I met jiani! And I haven't seen her in like, forever. She used to go to pp, but then she moved to pasir ris. Haha and andrea and molly remember her too. And we all remember exactly the same thing about her. We all remember her saying " hi, my name is jiani!" and somehow the memory stuck! hahahaha
Our skit was fabulous, me and Hannah were funny. :) And everyone laughed when they were supposed to, and congratulated us after. And they liked my props! haha
Hung around mingling after church, alot of memorable funny stuff happened.
Like how charmaine's handwriting is pretty but quite illegible, so this girl thought hannah was called Hahhah! So hannah turned to me and said " Eh this girl thought my name was Haha." And me and melanie were roaring with laughter. Then hannah said " Stop laughing at me Chichi!" HAHAHA she's hilarious :))) esp. with her haircut, she looks funnier and cuter.
And once when me and hannah were talking angelin suddenly scrabbled at hannah's back and said " whoowoowwoo!!" high-pitchedly.
And how joanna told me to go " Hi!" and do some complicated handmovements at the visiting people. :)
And how during dinner charmaine started pinching my cheeks and saying " so cute" and I'd make the smacklip sound haha
I'm going to vietnam next week from saturday to wednesday, and I'll be missing candice's farewell party!! :(((((( I'm gonna miss her a lot, she was the one who shoved my attitude towards God in the proper direction, and the one who talked to me when I was uncool, and the one who gave me a chance when others didn't, and treated me like a friend even when she didn't know me very well. So I'm gonna miss her bigsisterliness and her good ideas, and her GODLINESS. And hopefully I will be there to give her a bighug when she visits singapore.
Me and hannah were thinking of making a shirt with her favourite verse on it for her, and I think I shall go buy her a card (cos I am totally bad at making cards myself) tomorrow.

guitar exam. :(
Yesterday I met nick and joe at the clementi mcdonalds. Met up with Hannah to pass her something as well, her new hair is weirddd! All short and nothannah.
Left Hannah at clementi, then we got on 14 to ps. Met mx and her boyfriend Ben, who's pretty good lookin', but ABNORMALLY quiet and shy.
We went to swenson's. The food sucks! Swenson's is only good for ICECREAM.
Walked around after that, then at around 330 I went for my guitar exam! Twas really freaky, and I think I messed up really badly with everything. :(
Got out at around 4plus, watched Cry_wolf without Joe. It's pretty good! Or at least not as
cliched as those jap/korean/cheena horror movies that ALWAYS seem to include longhaired ghosts in white dresses.

Went shopping with hingying yesterday. Bought two shirts and some slippers! Funcdeko is such a cool shop.
Well it's 1030am! And I'll be going out for mx's birthday today! And for my guitar exam after that *cold sweat*
round a ring of rosies, a pocket full of posies says:

gorgeousss says:

round a ring of rosies, a pocket full of posies says:

round a ring of rosies, a pocket full of posies says:

a sad, disturbing dream.
Had a freakyyy dream today.
I dreamt that I was assaulted by 3 angmoh vampires at a service apartment that looked like a cheap hotel room (supposedly my house?). I think I had a friend with me but I can't remember. The dream is pretty vague. The only part I really remember is pretending to go to the bathroom to look for a stake and not finding one. So I tried to rush out, and the blonde karen's sister's lookalike vampire burst in right after my friend got out.
She tried to make me follow her back into the main room where the rest were sitting, but then I spotted wunna those thai souvenier metal poikky figurines. I grabbed it, and she saw me, so she tried to run away. But I streaked after her and began stabbing her with the thai figurine, first accidentally on the thigh and then in her stomach area. Blood spurted out. And she looked like those chinese drama serial victims, where they don't die till they say everything they have to.
So yeah she still wasn't dead, and I didn't dare remove the 'stake' in case she got up and started killing me. I asked her why she didn't just crumble into dust like in buffy, and she said that vampires don't actually crumble, they DECOMPOSE. And if you remove the stake she'd come back. I talked to her for a minute more (she was quite nice, I wish I didn't have to kill her :(), then the oldest looking vampire, the one that looked like the mother from arrested development, came over and kind of freaked out over the fact that karen's sister's lookalike was
dying. I tried to hide the stake that was still in her body so she wouldn't take it out. She lifted the blonde vampire out of the room, and my dream ended.
Wow I'm quite a disturbed person, eh.
6:21 PM
irritations. bodyshop is fun! 2nd last march18 rehearsal! dota again. samYP's sermon
GAHH
how do you stop annoying people IMing you at bad times.
So anyway. Saturday there was no guitarclass so my mum took me shopping! I didn't buy anything substancial in the end, though. Just an exfoliating sponge (HAHAHAHA serious!) and some other less important stuff from bodyshop. Haha I didn't know bodyshop was so fun!
On sunday after worship we went to harbourfront and split into two gropus; the budget group who ate at the foodcourt, and the PASTAMANIA group which I was in. Rachie came, I'm proud of her, I didn't hafta call her. Haha I think she came at like the end of the sermon anyway, so.
After lunch hannah cherylsoh me nick valmond and some other people (I can't remember you all!) went back to church for march18 rehearsal!
Samuel Lim ( kokhin's son) finally came to narrate, he narrates kinda. Weird. But whatever lah at least he enunciates properly.
After rehearsal we went to ginza to play dota. It's nice to know that even after all these months I haven't completely lost my touch. I slaughtered Hannah once alone, but then she started travelling in groups with the better players and killing me lol
Ahh, we won anyway. :)
Then kenneth danielong and I shared a cab to church (well not really shared; they offered me a lift. :)) for Samuel Lim YP's first ever sermon! Gee, he's pretty cool, he's
my age and he's preaching.
Anyway his sermon was about drifting away from god. And it kinda applied la. cos I just found out that ho chi minh might not even have a church! and I bet god intentionally made me go for the sermon (usually I don't do 6pm worships)!!!!
It was pretty good as well. I think it was only half the sermontime of uncle adrian's :P Most importantly I understood it :)
TODAY I pretty much just. Lazed around at home. I was supposed to go for a councillor course and a iceskating class gathering and to sentosa with hingying and co., but -horrors- the ruff 'n' tuffness of sec3 camp finally caught up with me in the form of a sickness! Aha! and I'm glad it did, I didn't feel like going for that dumb course.

sec3 camp! passed both math subs! pasta fresca again.
I got back from sec3 camp today. :) Twas at jalan bahtera. And I've got mosquito bites all over. BUT! I did rockclimbing and I got to the
top, which is more than I can say for most of the guys! HAAH! Sissies! Wahahahaah!
Did zipline/flying fox again, too. It's only scary when you first jump off, cos you get off a three-storey bulding, heh heh. But then it's like, YAWN cos it's about parallel to the ground.
Came back today really really sleepy. We hadda wait for an hour at school for our report books, I did better than I expected. :) Two A2s in physics( haha what the heck) and art, and the rest Bs and Cs. This is quite okay, considering I was really unmotivated to study this term. Hahaha I failed my combined humans! and I borderline passed my lit, I'm so happy. I thought I'd fail that too.
AND I PASSED MY MATH SUBJECTS :))))) Got better for Add. math than E, though o_O
So anyways. After I got back my reportbook I had to go for Art. :( but I was so worn out and sick that mrs lee asked me whether I wanted to leave early like 3 times, heh.
After art I went for HoF! Got high and wandered around in shona's labcoat jabbing people with cancer cells.
And after HoF I had to bus to pasta fresca, cos my dad was too lazy to fetch me >:( but nevermind after they paid for my pasta my dad offered to carry my campbag and found out how heavy it was and regretted making me take bus. :) Heh actually it wasn't that heavy.
And I'm kinda sick of pasta fresca now lol

THE DREAM
Had a very disturbing dream in second period chinese today.
I dreamt I had another test (subject not specified) at 7am, and I woke up late. But I remembered jingying had been late for an ENGLISH test before (solastri, gan! SOLASTRI!) so I wasn't that worried.
Then the landscpae changed from outside my house to the inside of a dark classroom. The fans were on full and the desks were in exam format and there was a spotlight on every desk! All the 3E1 people were scribbling really furiously on the paper, and there wasn't a teacher around.
Then I made my way to an empty desk with the test paper onnit. Jingying was in front of the desk. Then suddenly she stood up and whipped around simultaneously and screeched " WHERE WERE YOU!" in the high-pitched voice I always use to imitate people lol
So I sat down at the desk. The paper turned out to be Cheena! There were these neon coloured fat acrylic letters on my desk, I think they were required to do some of the questions. But then tudor rwached over from the desk on my right and switched the letters around, and I think I failed the test lol.
This was the first dream I've had that I remember in about a month, sara thinks it's cossa stress :P

candice's chopper :) solastri's cool. I'm in march18! last churchcamp :(
My mom came to school on Friday to talk to my principal about getting all the personal records and stuff needed to get me into the British International School Vietnam. And after that she took me for a lateeeeeeee lunch ( at around 4?) at ginza, then she dropped me off at church for the march18 planners meeting. candice copied my helicopter and drew wunna her cute happyhouse-ish heads hovering slightly above the chopper's...tail. So I filled in the body and a thai airlines logo at the back lol
And I have a picture!
....but i can't upload (what's wrong with blogger :()note the weirdly tilted head and
qiao(perky) butt, haha
Saturday morning I hadda go back to school for an english comprehension test, finished it in like half an hour, summary and all, don't think I'm gonna do very well, I only found 11 points for summary.
Anyway after I fell asleep and when I woke up ms solastri asked me whether I could cope with being in 3E1. And that I was a sleepy girl and the teachers were worried for me cos I keep FALLING ASLEEP IN CLASS! haha. Ms solastri's the coolest teacher ever, she makes me feel as if she actually cares for me, not that she's obligated to do so.
Went back after then went for guitar. I forgot to wear my leather wrist thing and felt quite insecure and confused and bewildered without it. Anyway my speedreading sucks man! I'm pretty okay in everything else.
Then went to nick's house to guitar a little. Impressed his sister (somewhat?) with my cool classical exam songs :)
borrowed Marilyn Manson's autobio. He's actually quite a sane(if hedonistic) guy.
Church today was brilliant! And productive! And brilliantly productive! Heh. We met up for the march18 planning after lunch, and we've pretty much ironed out the wrinkles. :) I'm in the skit! Whoo! And I'm helping out with props! I drew the car, sampan and helicopter veryvery cute heh
Then hannah charmaine and I cut em out and I brought the car and the chopper home to paint.
Anyway chruchcamp registration ends around the end of this month, I hafta hurry and convince them to go, this'll be my last churchcamp for quite a long time. :(
4:03 AM
