and HAPPY BATHING TO ALL MY JIE MEIs!
i had a happy time washing all the flour off! zzZ.

today's itab is a GONER.
i knew how to do 3 out of 4 questions. but the 3rd questions was a KILLER.
major bummer.
))))):
and i havent touched MOB AT ALL for the entire holiday..

anyways, after itab today, we dragged yan ling to the toilet..
while she was in the toilet with idy, sherilyn, xuan, yaya, sandra and i stand-byed at the door with handfuls of flour...
HIAK HIAK HIAK HIAK!
when she swung the door open... SHOW TIME!!!
we roared "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" and showered handfuls of flour at the taken-abacked yanling.
xuan xuan is the KILLER mann. she emptied the remnants of the 1kg flour onto ling's smart head.
and who got implicated?
YOURS TRULY HERE.
i think flour went into ling's eyes.. so with her outstretched her arms lyk some freak zombie and the first person she managed to squint and lay eyes on was me.
AHHH.
and i got chased by this horrifying-flour-laiden-zombie down the corridor and hugged and bua-ed and molested just so all the flour gets onto me too.
den when i came runnin back to the toilet, xuan xuan took me on surprise and splattered another shot of flour into my face while i was exclaimin "ah!" because she surprised me.
THANKS AH. THE FLOUR TASTED WONDERFUL.
pfuit!

all in all, i think the flour war was fun mann. tsk tsk tsk.
unleash of the fun-deprived people.

HAVENT STUDIED MOB!!!
AHHHHHH!!!
talk about fun-deprived. ))))):

happy birthday, dearies!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOST BELOVED DEARESTEST MONK!!!!!!!!!! (:(:(:
love love love love love love love love love love love love!
12 months of love, laugher, tears and anger.
i love you!
all the things i want to say, i think you know it. (((((:

thank you for all the unconditional love.
for all the love, care and concern you have showered me.
everything is left unsaid, in my heart, but i believe you know it. HEE.
because it would take forever and i only have 5 mins before the clock strikes 12 to the end of your birthday and the beginnin of yanling's!
I AM TYPING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHTNING MY HANDS ARE FEELING CRAMP!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SNG YAN LING!!!

tsk tsk.
I CANNOT WISH YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY FACE TO FACE BECAUSE WE ARE PLANNING SOMETHING!!!
hope you dont read this or else i would be slaughtered into lyk, 28pieces??
but i dont thing you will cause you are busy with itab RIGHT NOW! rightttt?
(you just asked me about chapter 12!)
LOL.
so... yup. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! dont think i forgot kaes!
wo shi you ku zhong de!!!
xuan xuan and i are slumped in the torture of evil-ness.
we feel so bad but yet cannot wish you!
hahaha. enjoy itab tmr. tsk tsk.
and we will make sure u enjoy ur post-itab time.
MUAHAHAHAHA.

surprise surprise!

statistics today was... manageable.
(rather surprising. because at the end of term1 my most worrying subjects were stats & itab, which is definitely hopeless, needless to say.)
i guess i fared alright, minus a 6marks that's confirm 100% wrong.
and another that's still held in suspense whether i'm right or the others are right.
hmmm...
i think my friends in JC would honestly murder when they see the test paper...
for example...
see?
haha. who CANNOT calculate mean you tell me? you simply get 5marks out of calculating the MEAN!!
no tricks!! (guarantee plus chop!)

and i recall back the days how we used to have to scribble to the very last drop of ink and we cannot even get some marks for say, H2 maths or bio or maybe chem. (and it depends on whether we have things to scribble or not too! haha.)
ho-hums.
i really want to laugh my ass off.
the formula is provided somemore!!!
all we have to SIMPLY SIMPLY do is really understand the concept and apply it correctly.
tsk tsk tsk.
not much memorising.
just do your work consistently (and maybe a bit irregularly like me also can) den tada!
VOILAH.
(recalls that day my brother jokingly smacked my thighs and said "Told you long ago to go poly you dont want to listen! see lah!")

haha.. i think i sound like some big-headed idiots. =P

P.S. i think i should stop taking 105 to school.. because it passes orchard on the way!
and i saw MANGO SALES!!! (!!! i think i'm VERY SLOW!)

P.P.S. BESTIE sent me a postcard! ahahaha! i knew she was up to no good when she asked for my address.. deliberately missed the postal code to see if she's sending things to my home. tsk tsk tsk. evil me.
anywhoots, i'm so HAPPY!!! (:(:(:
what a lovely surprise!!! <3

after insanity, bad luck strikes-- full swing.

BAH HUMBUG!

after the tragic miss of my French test just 2weeks ago, bad luck strikes, round 2 today!
the initial plan was to go to school and have my calculator verified & stickered, and then meet monk for lunch plus some last minute revision for econs.

we went Plaza Singapura's Pizza Hut as planned but pfuit! (sth lyk french's "pui!" i learnt it frm Princess Diaries hahaHA.)
so crowded. and they served me uncooked linguine! so i requested for a replacement.
den waited darn long. monk's spaghetti was already polished off long ago before my 2nd plate came.
was a tad better than the first, but there's still some suspicious strands of uncooked linguine, but i picked it away and let the matter go seeing how short-handed they were:
all the waiters were rushing like mad dogs and this poor chinese girl even broke a mini tower of utensils and cut her fingers while cleaning up...
after the not-so-satisfying-meal, it's revision time.
i didn't spend much time revising because econs is like, one of my best bet so far.. tsk tsk.


on our way back, the crazy madness shopaholic struck(actually partially because i'm rather confident with econs so i let my hair down abit la. cannot blame me what! so stressed for so many days & i havent went out in DAYS since i came back from taiwan!) and we shopped around for awhile, not long before my stomach went queasy and i started feeling nauseated plus difficulty in breathing.
yadda yadda yadda.
so this leads to that and that leads to what i dont wish to elaborate.
the anxiety and the verge of breaking down plus the queasiness while i was chiong-ing back to SB.
sounds more like a roller-coaster ride than a bus ride!!
all in all, i didn't make it back to SB in time to sit for my econs!
and i dont think i'm in shape either. (really dont wanna screw my best bet.)

HORRORS!!!

horrifying enough?


went to see a doctor and he prescribed some medication suspecting of indigestion.
):):):):):

boos.

uh-uh!
dont give me some stupid lecture about how i shouldn't go out before an exam. it's NOT exam it's only CA which is equivalent to a TEST.
no biggie. we have tests EVERYDAY in dunman. (okay, the peak was lyk, 5 a week but the norm is 3 per week) and also every other day in NYJC.
it doesn't scare me that way. pfffft! =P

also dont point finger at me and laugh that i shouldn't have ate out.
den what! school food wont give you problems MEH!
whatever. what's done is done.
i'm over it already.
it's amazing how WONDERFULLY SPLENDID retail therapy is.
>.<

moral of the story?
when you're sick. go shopping.

when insanity knocks.

zz: "10% only what. you can afford to screw it."

THANKS AH dunman high senior. who can definitely afford to screw because he went HCJC and then now in NUS LAW.
-.-
THANKS!
tsk tsk. juz kiddin la. =P
(enjoy ur trip in japan!!! *AHEM. you know what to do right, old man!* )

honestly speaking, really only 10% what!
so scared for what, carmen wong?
so stressed for what, carmen wong?
you get full marks for CA in the end only 10marks nia what.
screw screw lor!
rightttt?


righttt.

anyway, i'm sure it's gonna be easy peasy!
i'm sure!
*am suddenly terribly reminded of jia xin. gush of nostalgia of the days of "i'm sure!"*

carmeny is back!

aye aye.
i'm finally back from my taiwan trip!
tsk. i was back, technically on the 18th.
so i had the whole of yesterday to blog. BUT. i chose wallow and slack and tell myself i need time to adjust from jet lag. (HAHA! as if there is ANY jet lag at all! taiwan's time & singapore's time is EXACTLY THE SAME)
precisely.

when i was in taiwan, i was so psyched about blogging everything that i see, everything that i've experienced there:
what i saw, what i heard, what i ate, what i felt
i took so many photos! haha.
and the OS in my mind is like: "wow. shall take picture of this and blog it." snap!
this and that.
but strangely enough, now that i'm back, i dont have the energy or motivation or enthusiasm to blog about it.
-.-
weird.


yadda yadda.
maybe it's the CA.
I HAVENT STARTED STUDYING FOR CA!


devil carmeny says: "you know, you can do it all without studying. cuz u've been rather well with your work. dont worry. not studying wont do you much harm. just continue to holiday and wallow in the happiness of slacking!"
(all the empty complacency.)
angel carmeny says: "no! you must revise! it's been so long since you last read your work! you wont be able to remember anything!! quick! study!"
(what a paranoid.)

o.O

now now, who should i listen to?

i will blog when i have the mood and time. LOL.
looks like i'm more angelic than i thought i am. heehee.

P.S. i think some people might hate me when i say this.. but i cant help it. (big show off! haha.)
i bought: 5 tops! 3+3 bottoms!(+3 bcuz i bought 3 safety bottoms for wearing inside skirts) 1 earrings! 3 necklaces! 2 knee-high socks! 2 shoes! (1 wedge 1 high-heeled) 1 bag!
hahaha. and last night, i went to get myself a new handphone at amk hub's hello!
so happy!
sing-song voice: tralalalala!
go ahead!! shoot me. kill me.
nyahahahaha!

(shall not reveal what phone i got for myself. will dedicate one special post. LOL.
simply LOVE IT!!! muahahahaha.)

MOS

MOS on 12th June.
one word. B.O.R.I.N.G.
i'd expected this time to be more fun than the last time (Zouk, 29th May) because there were more of us!
the last time was yaya, xuan, sheri, idy & me.
now it's yaya, xuan, sheri, audrey, yanling & me! (there was supposed to be sandra too but she was sick)
now, doesn't it sound like fun?
NO.
haha.
well, in a way, the company rocked. but the clubbing part sucked.
i'd rather go back to Zouk and be bua-ed by crazy weird strangers than be bua-ed by the tables & chairs at MOS. tsk tsk tsk.
and the song literally SUCKED!!!

i was simply in trance most of the time, just nodding & trying to come up with some groovy moves but my body just wouldn't hype up to the occassion. (unlike the previous time)
and occassionally a few good songs came & i rocked the beat but the interchanging of songs was so s..l..o..w.. u'd die down by the time the next song played. and the remix was qte horrible by the DJs. because the tempo was off! the song was initially prolly about 90-100bpm and you were groovin to it and in the middle of the song, the DJ did some stupid funny thing that killed the mood and the tempo changed to about 60-70bpm!
it was like balloon deflating.
-grimace-
AND the only "high" song that night was That Thing You Do, for your highness here.
i went mad. because i was so thirsty for a song that would make my adrenaline roar.
(RAHHHH!)
ok. madness with critics.

BUT LASTLY!!! the bouncers! ohmyholymothercow.
i REALLY have to blog this.
we had to go through FOUR BLOODY BOUNCERS before we could get into the club!
(not say i am angry at them because the bouncers were very nice to me: simply because? i'm EIGHTEEN. teehee. the magical number.)

Bouncer #1
he shone his torchlight at the i/c, and your face, and look intensely, then after moments of silence, he said, "Smile!" and you smile awkwardly while his brain deciphers whether or not you & the photo are the same person. which is ridiculous because it's REALLY THE SAME PERSON!
and he then asks, "What's your unit number?" and after you answer, he holds your (right?) thumb and compares the thumb prints. -.-

but for me, he only checked the face. tsk tsk.

---------------------------ROUND 1. (ding! ding!)------------------------------------

Bouncer #2
Same procedure except that instead of unit number, he asks for your birthday.
and then suspiciously questions you, "you sure this is your i/c? not your sisters' (brothers')? you swear? sure?"

for me, i answered my birthday and passed.

---------------------------ROUND 2. (ding! ding!)----------------------------------

Bouncer #3
a series of checks which i'm unsure of because i was already ahead of them.

just checked my face and passed.

---------------------------ROUND 3. (ding! ding!)----------------------------------

Bouncer #4
i think he just double-checked? not sure cuz i'm already inside the club!

cant be bothered to check. just took my tickets, gave me the wrist tag and chop and tata!

---------------------------ROUND 4. (ding! ding!)----------------------------------

even more tiring than a boxing match!!!
lol. i really pity the rest. just because you're not 18, they treat you like you're criminals! so fierce!! especially rude to guys. (pity changlin)
i feel like i'm like a VIP compared to them.
(really. Ministry of Sound. soooo strict! like the government. everything law by law. no wonder it's called the MINISTRY of Sound.)
=P

so disappointing!
anywhoots, i dont really care as long as there's the few of us!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 x6!
more photos coming after i come back from taiwan on the 18th!!! (: take care, people! and better miss me loads while i'm gone or else no presents for you!!! =P
tata~ and the sweetest memory of the night. love my girls.
xoxo

SO SCARY! didn't realise my counter already hit 3000!!! hahaha. ok la. it's like, miserable compared to like, XiaXue's? (who hits like 10,000 per day)
but still, can't help feeling happy. HAHAHA!
Happy Reading!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

my handsome king (:
there! you see why i said he's the cuterestest daddy, no?

"大手拉小手" your hand is all i need to feel the warmth the sun can give.

you, you're the light of my life. (:



daddy dearest's 50th birthday!
ate at Jack's Place, and we had an early celebration last night.
Swiss Bake's mini mini Chocolate Devil Cheese. the name alone is enough to kill the hearts of many girls. tsk.
the cake was heavenly while the food was mediocre. we were too lazy to choose a place to eat la. haha.
still! no matter how's the food or the cake, what matters is i have daddy! (and daddy have me la, of course!!)
loves loves loves daddy dearest loads.

AYE! all the rest has killed lots of my "dark-circles-cells"! but not enough to conquer it.. and now the late night sleep is going to help regenerate the "dark-circles-cells" again! ho-hum!
especially with clubbin comin up tmr night plus the all-nighter ton-ing! boohoo.

bah humbug!

Carmeny missed her last day of term 1!
hooray.
miss carmeny is sick and paralyzed in bed on friday morning.
with a horrible sore throat and fever!
she squated at the AMK polyclinic for 2hours just for a 5min consultation with the doctor.
whoots.
the rest of her friday was spent sleeping and recuperating. (sounds like i can meditate & heal myself)
AND she missed her French Test! how uber great!
and carmeny is NOW blowing her nose with LOUD HONKS. gone are the fever and sore throat but now comes the flu. (bah, humbug!!)
celebrate, people!!!
today was spent mourning for my beloved cousin, for tis the day she was sent to the Mandai Crematorium & Columbarium.
shan't elaborate much lest i get emo. ))))):

treasure your mamas, all of you out there.
the pain i see, the pain i feel, when i saw my little niece, crying her lungs out, screaming "我要mummy".
excruciating could not even be compared to it.
lest to compare to the pain my little niece felt.

treasure your mamas.
treasure your loved ones.

Dedicating a song, to both my cousin and my niece:

"When will you be home?" she asks
As we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
SIlver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
ohh...
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

the day of life, and of death.

life is fragile.

it struck me hard, as i was browsing through today's straits times, that i saw the obituary of my (maternal) cousin.
although i had just attended her wake last night, it is still inconceivable that she has finally left us.
she was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago.
it was just a matter of time that she would leave us someday. seeing her struggle so hard with the cancer was heart-wrenching and almost too much to bear sometimes.
yet why is it inconceivable that she left?
because what took her away, was not the uncontrollable division of her body's cell, but a fated traffic accident.
weak was she and the accident weakened her further, and finally took her away.
life. only one word can be used to describe it: unpredictable.
who would have thought she would meet such a predicament?

a picture of me in her arms when i was still a baby. (left is my cousin-in-law, Davis)
rest in peace, my beloved cousin.
you were like a sister to me.
and i practically grew up with your kids. (i was made aunt since i was 3! )
never will the times we shared be forgotten.
and rest assured i would only remember your radiant days. (serious!! you were gorgeous and radiant before the cancer struck you...)
and the sundays spent together..
and the sleepovers at your house with Cherie.

rest in peace. <3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after the dead, now we celebrate the new life.

18 years ago, this dark, skinny 17/18 years old little fellow, was carrying a cutesy, tiny and the most angelic thing in the whole wide world in his arms.
so gingerly hugging it for fear that just a bit more pressure would hurt the little thing.
(hehe! aint i cute!! =P )
18 years later, (or rather, 19?) it's going to be MY TURN!
from a sweet, loving brother, he is maturing into a tender, loving father!
and me? (HA! countless baby-sitting experience! no kick!) I AM FINALLY BECOMING A TRUE-BLUE "姑姑"!!!
tsk tsk tsk.
so many years of demanding a cute lil baby, (almost like my own baby) to babysit and tada!
he dropped the bomb on me yesterday.
HAHA. honestly if mummy didn't tip me off earlier, i would have thought he's kidding.

life: the downs and the ups.


it's scary how so many turns of events can happen in a day, no?

TO GO OR NOT TO GO?!!!
MOS, 12th june. =X

and oh GOD. save me! my throat's worsening & i'm kinda feverish. OH NO. how great with capital G-R-E-A-T! for tomorrow's the last day of term!!! moans. why oh why. tell me why do i have such unfortunate timing for falling sick???

first times-*

experienced loads of first times lately! (:

first time at east coast part with deary <3
26/5/07

the beautiful scenery, courtesy of yours truly. (((((:

haha. dont mistaken. i didn't jump over the cliff!

first time clubbing
29/5/07
yaya, me and sheri doing our makeup in my room (after touring around and a sumptuous shin ramen dinner)eeeks.
peektures' worth a zillion words.

Zouk Vaunt II underage party.

these were taken when we were queueing outside zouk to get into the club.
no photos were taken in the club.. haha. cuz it was packed like sardine! it's even worse than an overloaded public transport.
PHEW.
i could hardly breathe and i thought i was going to faint from all the suffocation and the blinding lights.
and i never knew that guys could really be that tee-ko.
shan't elaborate much about that night.
all that's meant to be kept in my memories forever.
clubbing isn't really all that fun. although i think this one's better because my hair didn't reek of tobacco smoke! cuz it's UNDERAGE PARTY. so not too many people smoke there.
plus it's so pack, if u light a lighter, u might risk burning 3 other people's hair or you own nose.
HA-HA!
love my girls <3>first time "ton-ing"
30/5/07

after the party ended, we struggled (especially yaya & i! thanks to the heels we wore. i swear i've never been stubbed so many times in my life. my poor icky toes!) to Great World City nearby and sat there by the roadside, with some other new acquaintances.
after hydrating ourselves with some beer & drinks, the remaining cabbed to esplanade and spent the rest of the wee hours there. playing "终极密码" and forfeits.
after another round of "sieving", (haha. funny word to use. but i think the process is like sieving.) only 7 remained and we headed to MS's macdonalds after some washing up at Esplanade's toilet.

whoots. the lovely sweetie "couple".the scandalous sheri & fuji. (NAH. both taken already!)

to bingxian: WE BELONG TOGETHER! [in case it sounds wrong, (like me & bing xian belong together) it's me and xuan xuan belong together! hearts xuan. heehee.]

alright. i shan't expose the photos of xuan xuan, sherilyn & yaya sleeping in my room that i sneakily took thereafter.
in case i cannot survive to see monday morning. (how can! i haven gone to taiwan yet!! that's why i'm not uploading the photos... YET.)
haha.


first time watching movie at Vivocity, GV Gold Class! (with dearest monk of course!)
2/6/07

the seats were mmm! mama-mia comfortable! comfy and cushy with adjustable height and it's almost like a bed! and there's a blanket for everyone. and you can order anything from the Gold Class Cafe and enjoy it during the movie. and assistants at your beck and call because there's a button on the table which u can press to signal them to come and assist you.
but sad to say, the wonderful experience was not accompanied by a wonderful movie.
Pirates 3 was quite a disappointment.
):
but the brownie was delicious!!
i just hope that i can watch Harry Potter there with xiuyi! tsk tsk. but i aint sure if she's willing to pay $30 for the tickets?
hmmm...
