I've finnaly settled all my nus admission stuff required of me at the moment! Its like a load off my shoulder. I'm glad I've got it done as soon as possible, because when I procrastinate, chances are that, things would never get done :)

So, I took leave to go for my medical examination on Wednesday for my medical examination. I was very thankful for the day off, which I feel I really derserved and needed. So anyway, I did not have to book for an appointment online with the nus health centre because the official booking date is not yet open. That would be in late June. And I couldnt find my way to the health centre! The weather was so hot, and I was wearing spectacles (because there's vision checkup), and I was perspiring profusely. Felt damn fugly! But managed to find my way there eventually, cause a kind auntie showed me the way. Spent about 1 1?2 hours there because there were quite alot of students, especially international students. Lots of PRCs there too, and one of them who was queing up before me kept vomitting into a plastic bag. Guess she was very sick. And speaking of sick, the swine flu has finally invaded Singapore! 4 cases to date! I hope it was spread like an epidemic like that of SARS. Stupid viruses.

SO anyway, the xray chest chekup was so awkward. I had to take off my bra, then wear over my shirt, and wait for my turn to go into the xray room, where I had to press my chest against this flat board thingy to get my xray taken. Haha. It feels weird being braless alone and at a public place, even if its for awhile. When I got out of the xray room, two indian men were looking at me, and I was like "Shit, I hope its not the nipples they are looking at!" Hahaha. For once, I'm thankful that my breasts arent big. Then I started to think of my friends with bigger boobs, and i laughed to myself. Haha. Speaking of boobs and breasts, I'm totally fine if people refer to these said private parts as boobs and breasts. But I find it entirely obsence when guys call them tits. Like, "Look at her huge tits!", "Woah, can I tit fuck her?"...
I have no idea why, but to me, its rather crude. If someone said, "Look at her huge boobs!", its sounds funny, and less degrading in a sense. Likewise, for "Look at her huge breasts!". That would sound like a more scientifically intelligent comment. Haha. But I just feel rather insulted and all, when someone, especially if he's a male, refering to breats as tits. Not nice, not nice!

So anyway,

I FINALLY GOTTEN MY BRACES ON FRIDAY MORNING!

Initially, my orthondontist was at Paragon. But the price is too expensive already, $5400! Dad finally found an orthordontist at Ghim Moh for me, called Royce Dental Surgery. And my orthordontist is damn patient and nice somemore. For a much cheaper price, and possibly, better service, lucky we did not carry on at Paragon. The whole process of putting the braces on was quite alright, just alittle discomfort thats all. But the whole process was rather long, so I got very bored. And i chose yellow colour since its my favourite colour.

AND I'M LOOKING SO FUGLY NOW!

I cant close my mouth with ease, I cant talk properly, and as of today, I've developed one ulcer at my bottom left mouth already. And my teeth are so tight, and I cant bite on normal, solid food, because its painful, and my teeth cant seem to close together to chew the food properly into smaller bits!

Yiting was the first to see my braces in school, then Xianwen. I felt so conscious and all about opening my mouth, but everybody was nice, and they just ask me to talk normally and all. But its so difficult to talk and laugh!

HAd 3 half od soccer matches with J1 and us against the J2s. We lost! So long never play soccer already, and I was so frustrated for the 2 halfs which I played. There wasnt much flow, and the game keep stopping every now and then, cause of a handball, foul or cause the ball went out. So, I was getting very pissed with myself, and I wasvery tempted to walk out of the gmae, because the whole match felt so stuck. Maybe its just me lar. But anyway, the J2s played really well. As for the J1s, though the still lack of some skills, they have the drive. and energy to run for every ball. And daring enough too, to head and dribble. Ohh, and Winston was our ref, he said yes so willingly. I thought that it was really sweet of him, and he lost like 26kg cause of NS! Cool.

Saw Jalaine and Jegan. Missed them alot! Jalaine sat down with the girls, and we just talk and talk. They say she talked very fast! Haha. But Jalaine does talk veyr fast. Like a train like that. Haha.

Later, we played half field with the J1s and Winston. It was damn fun, that one. Found back the flow. Or maybe cause its a smaller area, and more like street soccer and futsal, which the girls have been playing more often compared to a full field soccer. After the match as usual, we dily daly until 8 before we left school to go JP for dinner. But Elaine left cause her grandmother's in hospital (hope she's well already), and Tzer and Xuan too, to go home. So juniors and us went to JP, also cause Chai, Jingwen and I wanted to buy the Liverpool tickets.

In the bus, on the way, Xian, Jingwen and I reminisiced about our fun-filled lower sec school days, as always. It enver gets boring, and we always laugh each time we remember the past. Apparently, I used to be very obsessed over this guy classmate of mine during Sec 1 and Sec 2, and he would complain to Xian and Jingwen about me! Haha. Sometimes, I get get really obsess with people. Abit scray hor? I remember when I idolised N***** when I was in J1, how I will stalk her from behind when I see her around in school. I belive, if I saw Gerrard, I'll do the same too. Haha. But anyway, I was rather immature during lower Sec lar. Used to catch snails with Xian and some of my classmates to scare people too. Secondary 1 and 2 was really damn fun. Secondary 3 and 4, I've learnt alot about life, like all the npcc conflicts once we've got our posts, the ugly side of people etc. And J1 and J2, I've learnt of the beauty of a team, and that, its possible to sitck together through thick and thin, and to overcome any conflicts with openess and honesty and love and fun. So as long as there is no black sheep in the team of course (like in my npcc days). Haha.

Thus, I'm looking forward to what I can experience in my University days! :D

So anyway, we went to JP, and ate BenTen at the old wing! Kathy told me its nice, and Chai too. BUt the time we settled down right, it was already 9pm! I was so freaking hungry, and I ordered my chicken teriyaki curry rice. I was anticipating my food, only to realised within my first bite, then its so diffcult and painful to chew and bite. I gave up halfway, and no longer felt hungry anymore. Saw Linda too, with her boyfriend! As usual, she's very cheerful and chatty, and she's going FASS too! :D Chatted with her for quite long. Hmm, really wonder how the rest like Bestia, Lengshan, Shasha, Junkai they all are doing!

After dinner,

WE BOUGHT THE LIVERPOOL TICKETS!

The Kop seats are sold out alr! :( So we got the North seats, facing the goalposts. Chai said its good actually, because we can catch the balls when they come flying towards us! I'm so excited! Haha. Better keep my ticket like a treasure. AND CANNOT LOSE IT!

Today, my family's having a bbq later soon, at 630pm. Dad's idea! I cant wait, but my braces making me quite bitter, because I'm sure I cant eat most of the food. Ohh well, I'll try though, and enjoy myself!

Thanks to my friends, like Jas, Elaine, Kathy, Weizi, Sharron they all, who put braces before. They told me its normal to get ulcers and I must prepared for it, and that I will get use to it soon! Etc etc. Makes me feel better. So, I must endure. There's a price to pay for beauty! Haha. 2 years, 2 years! Haha.

Adidas Sundown Marathon at 12am later. All the best to those particpating, like Weizi. Mind over body!!! :D

I'm going to stop working after the first 2 weeks of June, after which, I shall enjoy myself thoroughly before term starts. Looking forward to the DaVinci exhibition with Huiying and co, date with Jingwen to Sentosa, date with kathy too, and last but not least, soccer chalet!

Til then,
I must constantly remind myself, Isaiah 40:31.



"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint."

Love,
Turtle 5.50pm

NO MORE SOCCER MATCHES!

Epl is officially over, so now, my nights during the weekends would spell BORING! For at least 2 months I think. And I'm rather disappointed with New Castle. Its really a shame that they had to be relegated. After all, they won the title once before. And now, having to play only for the championship league, its rather humiliating in a sense. Poor Owen!

Speaking of Epl break, I STILL HAVENT PURCHASE THE LIVERPOOL TICKETS! I dont know whether its sold out already or not. And Yiting's not going already, so left Chai, Jingwen and I. Supposed to get it on last Friday actually, but did not have the time in the end. So, I better get it soon before I have to kiss the tickets goodbye!

And speaking of last Friday, went to catch a family movie with parents and sis. We settled for Night in The Museum 2 since it was a comedy, and mom only likes comedy. The movie was OKAY only. Quite disappointing because Night in The Museum 1 was like really hilarious. I remembered catching it with my sec school friends and we had to sit seperately because the midnight movie tickets were almost sold out. Couldnt laugh out loud as much as I wanted to. But it was really good. But then, part 2 was abit, I dont know, not as funny I guess. Amy Adams's acting was so cold in the show. Dont think she was funny at all. But I still like Owen Wilson and his other small Roman soldier friend. Haha. I mean, they are like so small, and when the Egyptian Pharoh held Owen Wilson out of the cage, he totally reminded me of my hamster! Haha. And I also like the Einstien. So cute with the bouncy head. Haha. But Ben Stiller's still the best. Although he's not particularly funny this time round, I love his movies and him!

On Saturday, I went to get my braces mould taken and the dentist put seperaters between my teeth at the back. Its kind of causing me alittle ache now when i bite my teeth together. The braces will be put on this coming Friday, and I can't wait! Wonder how nerd will I look with braces on. And I need a wisdom teeth surgery some time after the braces! Haha.

After that went out with Sis, with the thought in mind to go Haiji Lane. But she's so lazy, so we went to Cine to catch Angels and Demons instead. The movie was a blast okay? It was wayyy much better than Da Vinci Code. But Tom Hanks looked older and fatter. Eee, dont really fancy him. The first part was quite boring, when they kept talking about the symbols and church and all that. But after when they started mudering the priests, it got really exciting. I think its as good as the book itself. But of course, if you read the book, you would have more insight to the story as there would be explanation of all those historical and religious stuff. And Ewan Mcgregor is soooo cute! Even if he's a priest. Haha. Sadly, he self-torched in the end. Tragic.

Sis and I are also embarking on a Meteor Garden marathon of F4 and Barbie Hsu. Cause after watching the Korean Meteor Garden, we suddenly had the urge to re-watch the Taiwanese version. The series is just soooooo nice and heart-wrenching. I cried dont know how many times already. Makes me feel depressed. But I still really enjoy the series. I used to think Barbie Hsu was so plain looking, but now, I think she's really pretty. I guess taste changes when you grow.

Going for NUS body checkup on Wednesday morning. What a chore! Should I go brazilian waxing with Theresa after that? I've been looking forward to our waxing session. Haha.

And soccer match this coming Friday again, with juniors! So excited, and that would be straight after I put on my braces. Dont know if I'll be in too much discomfort or not. Ohh well, most importantly, I can get to see the team again, and also, GET BACK MY CHALET MONEY! Haha.

Dad is leaving for Doha on Monday already. I dont want him to leave... :(

And I came across this at work today, which made me laughed :D



And then it made me think of Adam Lambert, and then I got sad again, because really lar, he should win AI. Boo.





"All them grown full things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face"

Turtle 8:30pm

Somebody asked me to update my blog when I'm free, since it has been stagnant. Haha. Well, I'm back from hiatus! :D

First, i want to say:

I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED TO NUS FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE!

WOOTS! PRAISE THE LORD!

The torturous wait is finally over! Damn the laggy administration. Must really thank Chai and the rest, for always comforting me and telling me not to worry. And Chai again for asking me to always check my application status online, because the letter came later. And Szeying, because just after she texted me, I found out that I was accepted into the course. My lucky star? haha.

I'M AN UNDERGRADUATE!

But still, have to settle more admin stuff such as medical check up and passport photos, which have to be send back to NUS. Such a hassle.

But anyway, I'm really psyched. Really looking forward to varsity life, and acing all my subjects, and graduating with all the fantastic looking certs. And finally, getting poached by all the huge MNCs and earning BIG BUCKS. Haha.

And secondly,

SCREW AMERICAN VOTES!

ADAM LAMBERT IS SUPPOSED TO WIN IDOL CAN!

I'm thoroughly disappointed with the results! I like Kris, he seems like a nice guy, jason mrazish kind of singer. But Adam is the bomb! He's performances are always original, exciting, energetic... And he's eyes! God, they look at you so intensely, I could almost feel the electricity. And the way his mouth goes when he hits the high note! Did you hear how he sing Mad World? My hair were standing on its ends!

Sigh. Cause he's gay lar. That's why he lost. I mean, how can being gay affect his ability to entertain and wow the crowd? The 4 judges love him lor. This is obviously discrimination.

I was sooooo sure he would win! I'm really bitter about the results. As soon as he cuts his first album, I'm rushing to the stores to get them. I'm smitten by him. Haha.

Lastly,

LIVERPOOL IS COMING TO SINGAPORE ON 26TH JULY!

AND TICKETS ARE OUT TOMORROW, $88 FOR ALL NORMAL SEATINGS!

Yiting, Jingwen, Chai and I are going man! Getting the tickets tomorrow at IMM's adidas. Can hardly contain myself! In just 2 months, I'll get to see legends in the flesh. I was thinking if I should witness their arrival at Changi Airport. And do you think if its possible to get their signatures? And probably a handshake or hug from Steven Gerrard? I'm really anticipating for the day to arrive, the atmosphere in the stadium, and the fevered crowd! I think, majority of the spectators will be Liverpool fans lor. Haha.

Its a one in a lifetime experience not to be missed! I mean, the next time Liverpool comes, Gerrard would have retired already (I think). And maybe, the likes of Torres and Alonso and Mascherano would no longer be playing for the club. SO, MUST GO!

Even though we didn't clinched the epl title this year, well, its still the best year for Liverpool. So, I'm still happy for them. Next season, they could only do better :D

But sadly, my dad wont be able to join me. He's leaving for Middle East for work already! Most probably in two weeks time, but he will be gone for 2 years! I really have no idea how life's going to be without my dad around. Now, my whole family all female already. And even worse, nobody knows how to drive! Have to say bye bye to the most convenient mode of transport once dad flies. WORST, my freedom also will also fly away. Mom will surely be more protective of me since dad's not around physically to care :(

I need to search for something positive out of him leaving. It could not be all that bad?

ANYWAY, I'm getting braces soon. And I'll be getting my tattoo done too, once I've got my May end pay. Thanks to Jalaine, haha. Going to her tattoo studio.

I've already decided on the design and everything. I cant wait! This is going to be an important milestone in my life, so I really want some of my good friends and my sis to witness it. My parents, haha, I dont think they will be thrilled.

So, I'm also looking forward to getting inked. Something I've always wanted since 13 years old.

Life has been rather dry lately, cause I'm feeling stressed out by certain circumstances thats happening to me. Cried out to Weizi and Jingwen, and I'm really thankful for their understanding and support. This whole thing thats happening sucks out my strength and zest sometimes, so its vital for me to constantly renew my strength and mind. But I pray that it will be over soon. Father Lord, give me more patience, love and understanding to deal with it. Amen.

At the meantime, I strive to make the best out of my youth, because I dont want to live with regrets because of the things which i HAVE NOT DONE. I have the rest of my life to get over the mistakes of which I may commit. But when I get older, the fire and zeal to try new things, or things which I had wanted to try, would be smothered. This, I'm sure, is most truly regretful.



"I text a postcard, sent to you
Did it go through?
Sending all my love to you
You are the moonlight of my life every night
Giving all my love to you"
