Before I start off the not-so-good-and-tiring week, I shall post something here.

May be my last post here since I want to create another new blog with nice background and all, but before I take time out to do that, studies are important.

For the first time in my life, I think I'm feeling this stress-over-exams thing. It's like although I still haven't start mugging and all sorts but I kept thinking of prioritising studies first before I think of anything else, especially what's coming up for the holidays. Not willing to pull my GPA down which means I need to put in 101% of effort this few weeks.

Been wanting to get a good and reliable camera for a long long long long time, like probably since 2011 and I'm still stuck with my old cameras which apparently spoilt and I have no idea why, even my instax camera decided to commit suicide by spoiling it's own flash and I have no idea why which I've not touch it ever since I lend it to my friend or something.

So, I was thinking of getting a camera before CNY so at least I can start up my new blog after exams with nice pictures, but saving in poly is hard. It's like there's 1000 breaks and then, you'll eat and eat and eat, because I hate it when I starve so I tend to eat alot and use up most of my pocket money. Saving is hard :(

I want an iPad mini too, before the trip. But it's most likely impossible. A camera and an iPad would cost a minimum of 1k at least and I'm not working so I don't have extra income at all. Sigh. YES I USED UP ALL MY MONEY I WORKED SO HARD FOR PREVIOUSLY, DON'T ASK WHY.

Exams are nearing soon but before that, there are tests, assignments that need to be done, CPP, MIP, and even GenEd, there's also APChem and IFS tests coming up, one on Monday, one on VALENTINES' DAY. Yes yes yes, so many things to do. Also, have to plan for the upcoming class outing soon, really soon.

All I want this year is an iPad and camera, done. I don't need anything else.

I'm done here, shall go and rest then xx

Just some stuffs I'm always wondering about.

Planning to get a camera for my CNY and my trip, done a lot of research for my ideal camera. Was just planning to fix/get another new instax but mom suggest I get a camera instead, so I can save the money to get like so much flims. So, wanted a flip screen one so when I self-shot with friends, it saves the hassle of taking again and again for a perfect shot. And here's what I got after like few hours.

Yep, Olympus PEN E-PL5 is probably my ideal camera after wanting to get Canon 1100D last year.

I admit I'm attracted to RED cameras even though that's not my favourite colour but red camera is seriously so attractive! But it's kind of huge to bring it around so Olympus PEN E-PL5 was pretty but since it's quite a recent model so the price is... 1K+, which is over my budget. So it'll probably stay on my waiting list after I start saving up and getting another model.

So, since flip screen models are so hard to find, I've decided to get what I found pretty. Nikon 1 J1! So other than that ideal red that I love, there's also this white colour that's really pretty!

Plus it's within my budget! Probably because it's not a new model but still, it's so pretty. Prefer this over V1 or even the new S1, that 'shape' of the camera is prettier.

Planning to check it out someday and get it heh, hoping to snap more photos with my cousins during chinese new year.

Yeah and today is my no school day HAHAHAHA ok bye.

Sunday, January 6, 2013

Before the week end, I've thought of coming up with a New Year's Resolutions for myself, or maybe the 'wants' list. Planning to blog more this year. Well, if I can keep up with it.

For this year, basically I want to ensure that I:

1. At least start to save up. (I always end up being penniless every week.)

2. Have a healthier body, which means JIAN FEI/SLIM DOWN, YESYES. Not aiming to have those what model's figure, pretty legs blah blah blah, but at least A HEALTHY BODY. Yeah, you got my point.

3. EAT HEALTHILY. At least I improved last year, I hate how I gain weight to no matter what I eat, like that moment you just decided to eat fast food, then bam, you gain weight. Used to eat fast food like maybe, 3-4 times every week? Since hougang mall was like 5 mins away from school and like, we have afternoon lessons after school. My brother doesn't gain weight, it's like to more he eat, the more weight he LOSE lol, yes, his body is that powerful. He's as skinny as ever when he eats supper, late night meal, eats same meal as me, the thing is I GAIN WEIGHT, HE DOESN'T. How unfair but I shall put in that extra effort for my resolution.

4. GOOD GPA. I'm a lazy bum when it comes to studies, how I score well for my Os? I decided to study 2 weeks before O levels starts, yes, that's the only time I study so hard and early. I usually don't study for English & Chinese at all then spent one day before exam rushing that particular subject. So, my GPA kind of shows it all, and it's quite scary, everyone around me in poly is so smart/studies so hard, LIKE SO FREAKING HARD, I'm like O.O, so it's time to buck up....

5. Get a camera or/and an iPad. Yeah, I guess once I get either one of it, my life is complete. Ok, maybe with the exception of wanting to get some clothes/bags/shoes, etc. Other than that, I'm not going to request for anything anymore. Partly want either want because I want to take nice pictures this CNY with my relatives and for the trip.

Yeah I'm done, super wordy because I've nothing to update on today. Ending my first week of 2013 with loves.

Hopefully, everything gets better and better. I like the way how it is nowadays although it can be a little boring at times, since I've got nothing to do, not a particular person to talk to all day long and stuck watching dramas all day long only :) AND I REALIZE PEOPLE READ MY BLOG lol, hi.

Have a good week ahead, looking forward to first training of the year tomorrow and shopping with mama on Wednesday, LIKE FINALLY I HAVE WEDNESDAYS OFF so when she gets off again, we can go out again! And the fact that this week was even which means busy week but I only had 2 days of school then tomorrow is odd week which is always the weeks I love because it's more relaxing! Alright bye xoxo

Before the first Saturday of 2013 comes to an end, I shall do a quick post.

Planning to change my blog's theme/design soon, maybe tomorrow or something. Should self design one too, if I have the time.

So, it's finally 2013, although this is 5 days late, still, HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL.

Overall, I had a horrible year in 2012, hopefully 2013 gets better and better. Nope, even though my life sucked last year, I'll make it good this year, not letting it to be 'sucks' forever aye.

So for Christmas eve, I spent my day with LCZ, TWY & CCL. No pictures but definitely one of the good days to end 2012. Went for lunch at ljs then to united square to watch CZ12 then to bugis for shopping and steamboat.

Then Christmas was, well, any other normal day, just wasted my whole day watching shows. Then, spent boxing day with mummy. Finally one of those days I'm home and she's home that we get to go out together for a date. So, sent Austin for his grooming session and used the rest of the day shopping then bringing him home and also celebrated my brother's birthday!

Yep, the boy turned 20 on December.

Cannot really remember what I did from 27th till 30th but on the 29th, I had my last korean lesson, so teacher gave kimchi and Tania gave me chewy juniors & a note + a 2pm junho polariod!

No pictures but spent my New Year's eve + New Year counting down with the clique & ShiQi, Gerald, Tiffany & Orica. Was great, since we played games then supper-ed all the way till 3.30am or so then head home together with TWY. Heh thank him for walking me to the lift ;)

So I spent the New Year at home after I woke up, and because I have no lessons the next day, I was just wasting my time away like usual.

And then, we had our first day of school.

Then, we had our first practical of the year, and as well as first formal report to do of the year -_-

Then spent the day on the Friday for meeting with Viv, Am & Joanne. Then ljs with Am & Viv. Then went to help out (kinda) over at mom's place, was kinda fun, since I was like helping to take plates & all possible stuffs in the kitchen.

So, today, I spent my day with Viv & Van. Was doing a surprise celebration for Van! Apparently she got shocked since I jumped out HAHA. Yeah then had some candies she brought home from America. Then we went over to 112 Katong or something to have our lunch, at Nando's. Had mild 1/4 chicken with sweet potato mash & garlic bread, yum yum, then we shared 9 chicken wings. Was so full I skipped dinner tonight, but mom brought back this coffee chicken or wdv you call that in english.

Have a good 2013 all :)

Sunday, December 23, 2012

FINALLY THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE, but as I'm posting this, I'm down to the last week or so of holidays. Not alot of happenings this holidays, so this is gonna be a short one!

Exams wasn't that great, great disappointment towards myself, but I shall pull myself together and do better for the year end tests, NEED A BETTER GPA, NEED NEED NEED.

So the day after our last paper, the clique went out for makan and night safari session.

This is just me, yeah, me.

Initially, everyone went, but ended up with 5 of us...

Then the 4 of us...

So we headed to night safari after eating and loitering around.

Me and xt with the huge tree!

Then, spent the next day out with Stella, my BFF from p5, so around 7 years of friendship already! Went for Ms Shin's wedding dinner, the dishes were really good, especially the dessert. Ice cream cake covered with alcohol and macaroons, DAMN GOOD.

And so, here's us!

Then, spent Monday having Xing Wang with Amelia and then training before that with Viv & Am. The rest of my days were spent rotting at home or playing street soccer in school with seniors and some mates to prepare for our futsal on the 16th.

So had futsal, felt like it was a length of a normal match and might be because it's too long since I've played a match, I felt so nervous. But, it was a good experience because the seniors told me to be the goalkeeper on our last round, HAHA I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT I SERIOUSLY FELT MY LEGS SHAKING, and I was so determined to grab the balls that I ended up letting 3 in. Yes yes, it was rather bad. But it was a good experience at least, I'm glad :') Thankful for them!

They're probably the closest ones in soccer, since I chat with them more and of course, Vanessa, who was in America while we were having futsal hahaha.

So the last big event I had was the Christmas BBQ cum gift exchange I had the other day with my bunch of mates from Secondary School. Was so glad everyone brought gifts and came! So so so so happy that day, was probably the best outing we had this year since finally, everyone came.

Oh, CCL, CZ, WY, TY and Nia came over my house two days in a row just to help out, WELL KINDA, me and Nia was doing the work actually and they were all playing HAHAHA, but still, they lend us their hands to carry the things, thanks! :)

Donovan, Timothy Lim, Timothy Yeo, Tania, Jeffrey, JiangNan, ChunLeong, me, WeiYi, HongYang, ChengZi

Tomorrow is Christmas eve, the day after is Christmas then brother's birthday this coming Saturday which we have no plans for, probably an advance celebration for my brother, that's all. Oh, Wednesday is shopping day with mummy!

-unspoken words-

Sometimes, I hope I get appreciated for the things I do for people.

Another dinner was planned but only 4 people could make it so we went anyway, was supposed to be chomp chomp but due to our 'luck', it was cleaning so we had it at the other hawker. But we had Udders before this!
