Decisions, decisions

Sooo my mom woke me up this morning at bloody 7am in the morning and told me I was posted to SP. Well... I was kinda disappointed at first... Duh. Cos I really wanted to go to JC.

I was mad pissed in the morning okay. I was asking myself if I should just pack my bags and fly to Aussie now. Cos remember, I really really wanted JC. So I couldn't go back to sleep (I had only 2 hours 30 mins of sleep). I got up and decided to research on the course I was posted to. When I saw the things they'll be covering, it seems helpful in my future degree. But then again I don't know if I can ever keep up with a good GPA.

So I was talking to June about whether I should appeal to TPJC or to go to SP. And... She asked me a question I never thought of asking myself (which was stupid of me). She asked me which path gives me a better foundation in the degree I wanted to take and of course, it was SP. So that was my answer.

I was already expecting to be posted to SP since it was the only COP that I actually met. SP was my 5th choice by the way. Anyway, I'm gonna share with you something. A lesson actually. Something I stupidly experimented and well, here I am.

It goes like this. I remember in SACPS when I was taking my PSLE, I told everyone, "I die also don't wanna go to SACSS." Haha, look where I've graduated from. I remember in SACSS when I was taking my O's, I told everyone, "I die also don't wanna go poly." Haha, look where I am now.

Moral of the story? Never say you hate something cos you just might get it. 

K, so now I'm gonna say, "I die also don't wanna study abroad." ;) Now that will get me there. *laughs*

Whee so what am I going to do until April... Hmmm.... Ooh I don't know... Write? Honestly, after I decided to stick with SP, I heaved a big sigh of relief. I was so worried I wouldn't get the time to what I really like love to do. But now, in poly, (not saying that I will have a lot of time) I'll have more time to focus on my writing than if I was in JC.

Omg, random fact about me: I've always wanted to be able to draw well... My drawing sucks big time. If only I can draw as well as I can write (okay now that's just self-praising. No, my writing isn't that fantastic but it's decent I guess).

I just hope SP would be able to further improve my skills. :)

Ooh some random story just popped into my head. This is a true story okay no matter how retarded it seems. Hey, people have their retard moment at times! This happened like last year k.

One day, I was getting a drink from the kitchen. I think it was ice lemon tea. Then I came out of the kitchen and guess who walked by? Uno! So forgetting I was holding the cup full of ice lemon tea, I wanted to scare him. Guess what this genius did? I jumped. Guess what happened next? The drink spilled on the floor and I had to clean it up. I laughed at myself okay. Like who can forget that they were holding a cup? Oh geez.

Anyway, I look forward to April. And no, I'm not going to work because I'm a lazy ass super busy. You can basically guess with what. So bye. Till next time.

It's too fast

It took me forever to stop myself from writing. Remember when I said I was going to avoid writing because I don't want to get distracted in JC? Yeah, guess what? I just had to touch it. Me and my itchy fingers. Now, I can't stop. Worse, posting results are out in three days and I'll be off to JC (hopefully). I cannot write as often as I want to anymore. Omg.

Time is flying wayyyyy too fast. Please stop flying and crawl on the floor.

How's life so far for me? Busy....

I've neglected everything that I planned to clear before the holiday ends. No, why is my life like this? And I can't stop myself, it's so addictive. I JUST CAN'T. (Read the first sentence of this post again). Why why why why why why did I have to touch it. GRR... Someone slap me please.

Okay, if I am confirmed a place in JC, I'm going to lock my computer and only take it out on the weekends. Mwahahaha. I'll hide it! You know what they say, "Out of sight, out of mind!" Going to have to write a whole new timetable~ And no, I don't think my life is just going to revolve around studying all the time. I have a life and I'm going to continue with that life (only on weekends of course and whenever applicable). Still, I am very excited for JC life.

I have some bad news though. I think my ugly handwriting is permanent. You know the scribbly handwriting that I do for my SS essays? Yeah... It's permanent. *cries* And no, it's not because I haven't written in awhile. I've wrote countless things this holiday and yes, it's that ugly scribbly handwriting. OH NO. Why are people's handwriting all so nice while mine is like shit? :( Haha, random fact about me: I've always wanted to have super nice handwriting. Unfortunately, I'm a very messy person (when it comes to handwriting). Oh, if you're wondering how my handwriting looks like... I've been told it looks like how doctor's write their prescriptions and stuff. Yeah, it's that squiggly.

I think my future teacher will mark zero for my work. *cries more*

Oh! I've been very chirpy these past few days~! :D I don't know, I just feel happy. Hehe! You know... If I don't make it to JC... (NO! I SHALL NOT SAY IT!) I'm looking forward to university now. Haha.  XD And... Maybe working life.

Okay, tomorrow I have so many shit to do so... I think I'll go now. See ya, maybe tomorrow. MAYBE. K bye, I'm weird.

Rocky grounds are not fun to run on

I finally got the chance to meet Jean yesterday after so long! Whoopee! We met at bugis and had lunch before watching Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. If you haven't watched that movie, you must. We were a LITTLE late for the movie and when we entered the cinema, it was pitch black. I couldn't even see my own hand in front of me. HAHAHA! Had a really crazy time~!

The rocky ground from the library to Bras Basah Complex is NOT fun to run on. It's so bumpy. Kinda got soaked because it rained a little but it was only after we stepped into the shelter then it started POURING. Haha, if we walked on the rocky ground instead of running on it to save us the pain, we would've been drenched.

3 random things:

• If I could open a shop, I would sell a collection of weird random things and my favourite books.
• The saddest movie I've ever watched was Hachiko. I cried buckets. I'm a sucker for animal shows. If some person dies in a show, ah no big deal. People die every day. But when an animal (especially dogs) die in a show, even if the death was old age and shit, I WILL CRY OKAY.
• If I could go to anywhere in the world right now, I want to go to Okunoshima, Japan. Someone take me there?

Oh, Phoebe tagged me to blog about 10 weird facts about myself so here it goes:

ONE.
I like the smell of certain books. (Library books smell like shit. They smell like shit even a MILE away)

TWO.
I have a weird taste. I like things that most people don't like and I don't like things that most people like.

THREE.
I hate romance. Be it books or movies. I'm more of a fantasy and adventure person. :/ (The sad news is, romance is becoming so popular. Again, showing that I hate things that people love. Anyway, romance is becoming so popular it's so hard to find a good TEEN book with no romance. Every single shit has romance. Reading a book without romance won't kill you right?)

FOUR.
I ♥ ♥ ♥ Disney. (Not to mention Walt Disney is one of my idols.)

FIVE.
I enjoy watching people I hate suffer. (I think it's the same for everyone right? Okay, so that fact doesn't count.)

FIVE.
I have an obsession with fat animals (especially fat cats).

SIX.
I love video gaming.

SEVEN.
I never touch my vegetables. Ever. (I sub my greens with fruits.)

EIGHT.
I am mentally aged 9.

NINE.
I love nature and yet I hate it. I like it because it's beautiful (I'm an environmentalist btw) and yet hate it because I hate dirt and bugs (I like to be clean).

TEN.
If I hate your face, everything you do makes things unbearable for me even if you are genuinely a nice person. (I guess this is for everyone too so it doesn't count).

TEN.
I like full stops and spelling out numbers... :/

So those are 10 weird facts. Okay, some weren't really weird. Sooo... I have nothing else to say. Goodbye!

Tiger Lily

"Sometimes I think that maybe we are just stories. Like we may as well just be words on a page, because we're only what we've done and what we are going to do."

Have you ever just complete reading a book that has such a jaw-dropping ending and you just sit there not knowing what to do next or what book to read next?

Tiger Lily had an ending like no other. I don't really do romances but hey, this is Peter Pan we're talking about so I couldn't resist. It's generally okay although I think Tinker Bell's POV was just redundant. I applaud this book for not being like any old sappy cliche romance story. :)

K bye. On to the next: Avalon.

D&D's Solemnization

Yesterday, I thought I was going to miss the solemnization because I would be waking up late. No, the solemnization was at 5pm soooo.... I went for it! ^^ Even so, I had to get up early to help. Only had a few hours of sleep but it was fun helping out. Daphne's creativity is superb! She transformed the function room into something so beautiful. Haha!

The food was good. Even though I wasn't a fan of bee hoon, I added some gravy and hey, the bee hoon isn't bad! Hahaha! The chocolate eclairs were very nice even though they're a little melted... It is FUN throwing the petal at the bride. I almost forgot how weddings were like. HAHAHA. Well, this was not the banquet yet but this makes me look forward to it!! I had heaps of fun and as much as I want to, I shall not mention the 'man' I saw at the gathering. AHHAHAHHAA!

Okay, after the solemnization, the bride and groom left for a photo shoot so I began to mingle around. Got the chance to catch up with my old pal, Stella! We used to live together for a short while at my grandma's house... I haven't seen her in ages!! So it was good to hear from  her again. :)

Helped out with the keeping of stuffs and then went up to my place to wait for the couple's return. Uno was isolated on a chair because Daphne was afraid of dogs. We tried putting him in my room but he kept scratching the door. It seems like he prefers to be isolated where he can see people rather than being free in my room alone. HAHAHA! I think he had his share of fun because right now, he is sleeping like log.

The new Mr. and Mrs. Teo~!

Stella and I :)

My aunt, cousins and er... pal?

I am so looking forward to Chinese New Year now. Whoo~! ^^ There's bound to be so much good food to eat and so many people to mingle with. :B When I say good food, I meant the bak kwa. HAHAHA! I know it's available throughout the year but bak kwa eaten on Chinese New Year seems to hold a lot more meaning than just regular pork (or chicken).

OH! We could also take instax pictures and so I managed to take a few shots with some of my relatives. :D

Wow, doing all this wedding preparation stuff makes me look forward to my wedding and wonder how it'll be like (if anyone would even wanna marry me in the first place). I'm just hoping there'll be some Disney involved. HAHAHAHA. That never gets old!

A day well spent

Today was good. I like spending my days at my parent's office. No, I do not work there. I just go there to slack, drink Gong Cha, surf the web and whatnot. Kinda happy today because my book came in the mail! "The Chronicles of Narnia". Yes, I was finally able to find a copy that was worth buying because buying the 7 books separately is very expensive.

I've been a fan of Narnia since the first movie came out. Hahahaha! Everything about it is just so fascinating. I just didn't like the idea of going through a wardrobe to get to Narnia... :/

I cannot wait to read it although I think it's gonna take me forever since the book is bloody thick. For the past few... months, I've been reading a ton of books. So much that I'm going cross-eyed. So pleased with myself. I never thought I would be able to read so much lol. Okay, I'm not gonna bore you with my book-talk so on to what's happening tomorrow.

So apparently, my uncle is getting married tomorrow. Well, they're gonna do their ROM at my house which is kindaaaa weird. But anyway, it'll be held in the morning and I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to wake up in time for it because I usually wake up at 1pm... Or later...

I've been so occupied with Adventure Time lately... My mind is now filled with nonsense.

I shall end this post with my favourite line from Narnia:

"For Narnia, and for Aslan!"

6CA 2008

Met a few of my primary 6 classmates today~! Things went a little crazy... All of us were reminiscing all the nonsense we used to do. We laughed so loud but we can't beat the bunch of guys that sat behind. I made Phoebe cook all the food for me. Hahaha! So if I get a stomachache, it's her fault. :P Oh and the mushroom soup was delicious. Not the best mushroom soup I had but it was passable.

Well, everyone still looked the same. We then all followed Mdm Aisha to NTUC to shop. HAHAHA! There was this dude who had a whole basket of Toblerone. Haha!! That's just crazy. If he was going to keep it all for himself, 100% diabetes.

Today I realized how much I missed primary school life. Everyone was so childish and lame. It made me rethink how PSLE was. I didn't study for it. Actually, I didn't study for anything at all in primary school. Kinda explains my shitty PSLE score. -.- I am determined to do better in JC. :)

The last few weeks of the holidays has been very... Lifeless. Everyone is either in school or busy working. No Cassie, no Phoebe, no Charleen. Only me, myself and I. Sigh. I kinda ran out of things to do. Well, not really but I don't want to start on anything because I fear I wouldn't be able to stop. Hahaha! I actually miss studying. I miss waking up and then planning what I wanna do for the day and then not completing whatever I wanted to do and then saying "I'm gonna fail." HAHAHA! However, the thought of doing Chinese again... Ugh... I seriously threw away all my Chinese. No way am I going to build it up from scratch again. I really cannot wait for JC life. (I know I'm going to regret saying this later) See ya whenever.

VJC's Open House

Today, I went to VJC's open house. It was so fun! Well, Claire and I had lunch at parkway before we walked all the way to VJC. It was tiring I can tell you that. We had two ushers who showed us around the school. We went to enquire about some subjects. Well, maybe only me.

I think the subject I'm going to die for the most would be Literature... Anyway, the people there were really nice and welcoming. :) *applauds* Wow, it's been so long since I last stepped into VJC. Haha! I found out more about Writer's Circle. Seems interesting... I'm telling you it's totally where I belong. It's like a book club where we'll share books that we've read every week. I kinda think the people would laugh at me because I really do not read books for my age. :P

I really like the school. The basketballers kinda scared me a bit though lol. Is it me or do most basketballers look intimidating? Anyway, I'm planning of joining two CCAs in JC. Probably writer's circle (apparently only available in VJC, TJC and ACJC) and basketball (or any kind of sport. Maybe badminton. HAHA).

You know, I don't think it's a very good idea to go to your dream school's open house (which is totally out of your league) when your results are tomorrow because it's just going to crush your hopes and dreams especially when you're already in love with the school. I honestly doubt my humanities would get me an A1. :/ And the fact that I can only minus 1 point for CCA points because they closed down my cca and I can't master netball in 6 months. -.- (sorry but I'm kind of a slow-learner when it comes to sports) Thank you so much, SAC (note the sarcasm). Thanks to you, I can only minus 1 point, and if I ever hope of getting into VJC, that would mean I'll have to score straight A1s. Hahaha what a joke.

I don't know. I think the main reason why I doubt myself so much is because I never once felt like I was smart. I guess the reason why I studied so hard in sec 3 and 4 was because I had already planned my route.

Also, after the Australia seminar, I'm really tempted to apply for foundation to University of Melbourne but again, too much commitments in Singapore. I guess not? Well, it all boils down to tomorrow. Honestly, if I do not make it to VJC (doubt I would), I seriously don't know what school I would apply to. :/

Maybe if I studied a lot harder, I would've gotten in with no worries. But then again, I've already studied all that I could. I guess it wouldn't make a difference. After all, if I'm not meant for it, then I can't go against fate right?

Whatever it is, my whole life and future would depend on tomorrow. What did Mrs. Puff say to Spongebob again? Oh yeah, "May Neptune have mercy on your soul..."

Also, to all who's getting their results tomorrow. May the bell curve be ever in your favour...

Into my mind

Everyone has dreams, right? If you don't, you'd be dead. Anyway, I just want to share some of my weirdest dreams I ever had. Now these are the kind of nonsense that pop into my mind at night...

Dream 1:
I dreamt that Martens made one announcement to the school one day. She said, "Whoever wanna drop out of SAC and go to SOTA, you can put your application of withdrawal in front of me."
Guess what? I was the first to put my letter of withdrawal followed by many other people afterwards. Then we had an assembly in the hall and Karlene was in front of me. We had to line up to collect this sheet of paper that said it could only be read later. It was some set of rules about the application thing.

Dream 2:
I dreamt that I was Yoshi. You know the dinosaur from Super Mario? Yeah and I had a treasure buddy who happened to be Bugs Bunny. Our mission was to enter this giant's house and when we did, there was gold coins everywhere. And then out of the blue, Daffy Duck appeared and the Giant's wife found us. It was a very thrilling dream...

Dream 3:
I dreamt that there was a heavy rainstorm at Kew Crescent. We had a red BMW and an ugly old white car. We had a white cat and a brown labrador. Somehow the white car came alive and tried to crash into my dad. Karlene and I came to hold it down. It was like a monster. Kinda like Herbie but more monstrous. We managed to defeat the car and the next day it was sunny again! Okay that was just plain weird.

Now the next dream is kinda scary to me.

Dream 4:
I had a murderous dream that we were all put in this death rail and we're handcuffed to the seat. This train will go around the track for a few minutes and in those few minutes you must free yourself from the handcuffs or you'll die. The train will enter some flying axe thing where your head will be chopped off. I happened to have a kitchen knife with me at that point in time and began sawing the handcuff. I managed to free myself and had some extra time so  I freed 3 other people. We jumped off the train and went above ground. The place was like a war zone. And posters were pasted everywhere that Mojo Jojo has taken over the world and that all that death rail thing was his plan. Yeah, the last thing I remembered in that dream was seeing that familiar purple cape.

I have really weird dreams. Some of them are violent too. I think I watch too much cartoons... I should write a book called "Into the mind of Carmen Chan". Hahaha I think that would be fun to read.

Les Misérables

I managed to catch Les Misérables with Nerissa today at Plaza Singapura. It was good. The songs were nice. Nerissa started crying from the time Fantine dies till the end of the movie. The ending was nice. Honestly, I don't think it was that sad. :/ I don't know.

Or is it just me? Most people I know who have watched it either bawled or tear a little... Am I really that dumb or just plain insensitive? Uh, don't answer that. But really, if you haven't got the chance to catch it, you should!

Results are in almost a week's time. Omg, getting so nervous.

Happy New Year

Fullhouse at Hotel Rendezvous

 

 

 

Pretty decent place, I guess.

I can't believe 2013 is already here. About a week plus before my results are released! I'm more excited to see some of my classmates again. Hopefully it'll be the last time I'm wearing my school uniform... I'm looking forward to seeing Karlene waking up in the morning and I don't have to. Yet.

Let's see what 2013 has in store for me. :)
