the last day of 2009

time to do my reflections. as i was chatting with yt thru sms. 2009 really passes fast! zoom...

for the first half of the year. cuz just finish A levels. so i started doing relief teaching. first for a few days at my sec sch. then after which went for some holiday before i started my stint at PJ.

really learn quite alot there but then, there are still more things to learn. people see me as a 有所好闲 girl. i really don want this to be portrayed to my fellow juniors. relief teachers are the best people who can really dedicate their time to proper teaching. because full time teachers have alot of admin work to do. but i really enjoyed this pace of my life. everyday come and teach and go home. esp the time after i collected my results and all my uni applications are finalised. before results day, we are still quite paranoid. but sadly, i couldnt get in to scholarships interview but its ok. i can always try again cuz for teaching. there is still chance. plus, despite everyday seeing yt ( i hope she wont get too bored of me, and ps sometimes i make her mad =P) also met amber and best fren there. and also wonderful teachers, miss xiao (sis), mr ling (bro), ms lim yian, mr kum, ms val tan, mr steve poh, miss cheng, mdl, bla bla bla oh ya.. and nicholas, mr how. kinda miss them now. the students there are haha... fun too! hope they still remember me but.. i doubt. hee hee

i also started giving private tuition. trying to improve the way i teach and also to earn some money for allowance.

my uncle also passed away in june. that was the first time i knew how sad to feel when ur loved ones leave u. thats also some part of the life ladder i have to climb up, to be more mature with my emotions too.

at the later half of the year. went for uni camps - ignite change, started to get into volunteerism. and getting into uni! i am officially an uni student already. went thru much but thank goodness there were great friends around me when we just came in ntu. karen, zhiyings, yanting and munjee (just know him right on the first day) . so fun having them around and accompany me during sem 1. otherwise i wouldnt have adapted to uni life that fast for me. i am a slow adapter. and next is getting into RSPHI- knew even more friends there. wonderful ones! i guess life would be boring if i didnt join any CCA. it may be hectic but there is gains for me. i can learn alot of things and make uni life a wonderful one. and there are lots of commitment to it. i really hope i can cope well cuz tuition is starting soon and with lots of events coming up. hope our friendship lasts forever! last xmas re-ignite my enthusiasm. love the times we spent tgt. and i love attending bs classes too. and also, i am real happy with my results though i think i can really do better! whoosh!

i am always not keeping my promises of new year resolutions. so i shant make any of it this coming year.

Happy New Year!

long awaited malaysia trip

finally i have visited tampin, and visited my grandma!

waked up very early as compared to when i am here in SG. cuz people there wake up very early to go market to buy groceries as fresh as possible. for example, i have never seen live chickens being caged up in those cages. and kill alive when people wants to purchase them. first time experiencing it. i finally can eat the noodles there! small bowl and nice! haven been eating them for years.

it's really stepping into life back in 60s. something like what u see in the show "together". familiar shophouses, familiar roads, familiar atmosphere. i just enjoy peace there. sometimes i find NTU a little little bit resemblance of kampong life.

all i do there is to eat then sleep, sleep then eat, sometimes gamble with parents. for the second and third afternoon i did go out to shop for groceries and cut my hair. i actually "editted" my hair twice. once after cutting first time on second afternoon, then the aunty say, not very gd, edit one more time. so when i go back i still find it abit long since i have already gotten rid of my long hair. i want it to be as short as possible. so i went back on the third afternoon and "edit" it again. on the third afternoon we went back with kaka. and waited so long for her turn cuz that fellow go eat lunch. and i am quite satisfied with myself that i have filled up a remittance form which i don even understand what is it abt, cuz everything is in malay.

bought new shoes again. we always go there buy shoes. this time is CNY heels =)

i am just satisfied with my short hair. i feel so much lighter, and cooler.

and ... i am satisfied with my results! i thot i would do badly. haha. my UE did better than my core. major sala already. kudos and grats to those who feel like me too!

i have been waiting for this day to arrive.

since donno when. i havent been going back to my grandma's house for more than a year already. cuz we have been going to KL for a period of time since my grandma was still at my uncle's house.

so tmr i am ready to go!

however, once i return. my exam results will be waiting at my com staring at me once i log in. hai...

anyway i spent a great day with bryan and zy guy today! long time since i last met bryan. chatted alot abt serious stuff. maybe i would one day become mature liao. no more xiao mei mei, but i think i still enjoy the times being xiao mei mei.

wish me luck in my exam results! =)
wish every NTU student: good luck too!!! see u next sem!

what happened to my lappy internet connection?

after upgrading my lappy to windows 7. everything went on fine. but i cant go into internet. although there is full connection to my wireless, but it says: unidentified internet access!
is it because most of the things are not compatible to windows 7?
how? i cant have no internet at my lappy cuz school is starting soon!
can anybody help me?

jiaxin
my another partner!! i nv thought u r reserved loh. a friendly gal and had joy talking to u. yea, sometimes u look like a teacher other times a xmm.. haha. i din know gals got such powerful memories man.. or izzit selective?

simon!
what do u mean by that question? well, that is because maybe u did something that really surprises me then i will remember it de. i guess other gals will think this way right? don 小看 girls ok...
haha... even being a relief teacher. people call me xmm everywhere. i guess even 3 years down during convo. people will still think im only year 1 (haha. thats abit exaggerating but people still thought i am in sec sch)

thank you for ur msg (though i pressed u to enter it.. wahahahha)
evil me.
see u guys tmr!

waitlist waitlist

suddenly so many people interested in my blog... haha. yes wanlin and simon! don't read but nv tag. thanks my dear fans! haha (so thick skinned)

anyway. nearly fell asleep while waiting for 130 to strike just now. hai. as expected, MPS 811 has no more slots! but lucky me, cuz my clock is exactly the same as stars. so i clicked ADD and taa daa... i got all my cores i wanted. 4 of them. 13 AUs in all. and then i change my GER PE waitlist here and there. still hoping some kind soul could drop MPS811, and then i can faster drop HC805 and add that in. but, this needs fastest finger. nvm, i see what i can do in sch tmr. worse still, i can wait for add drop and online appeal. well, at least i succeeded in online appeal before. haha =) *winks*

haha.. a dumb dumb noob noob year 1 like me is considered lucky le. at least i got what i wanted. just hoping the waitlist would succeed too. i don want to study any tom dick and harry course given to me. at least i should have some interest in it. just too bad, my course registration time falls few hours later. if few hours earlier, i could have gotten MPS811 with my fast finger. haha. ok. i shall be appreciative of what i have now.

yawns... this course registration can kill all my brain cells. need to camp in front of lappy.

christmas is here, everywhere !!!!

tonight i'm gonna give u, all my heart can give...
how about peace on earth?
join us and sing, sounds of heaven nature rings.
you will never let me down.
i feel you christmas...
i give it to someone special......

keeps ringing in my head!

i guess i have withdrawal symptoms... but this is indeed a wonderful christmas time that i have experienced with RSPHI. having lots of fun joy and laughter together. i guess i'm much bonded there as compared to before, living in a quiet world. and i myself din expect to be that HIGH as before cuz i prefer silence, quiet, peace. maybe cuz i want this song signing to be a fond memory of my life. it's the people around me that makes it so memorable!

hua dong:
our "GL" in song signing. first met him at old can A when he wants to teach us the songsigns, so bad to make him wait for me til late at night. then after that, it all started with the game hai dai, and some other games that got me stunned when he start shouting. hahaha...
in the end, i won him in almost every game. and that he can only win me once a day! nv thought that a game fool like me also can win him.. HAHAHAHHA!!! but ya, he is a nice GL, at least he makes song signing very relaxing. but... why are u so surprised at my light colour??? is that really so surprising ?

xue fen:
she looks very familiar, i must have seen her somewhere... arh now thinking back. i saw her once when i was heading for an exam. saw her signing at can 2 busstop. hahaha.... what an interesting fate. thank you for all the gifts u made for us. it will surely take you alot of time to prepare them for us. thank you for all the effort u made!

xin ying & yihua:
thanks for all the time and effort u all put in in our group. such great seniors. i doubt i can commit like u all when i myself is a senior. you all have been such a great help ! and i enjoyed my time tgt with u all...

wan lin:
i only know her on her birthday since i was sick on the first day. we made really gd sisters cuz we are always together for practices. and also, staying in the west! ya... and some very common topics. and also her piao piao story.. soo CUTE!!! may our friendship last!!! hope to see u around... rest assure we will meet up soon, don xian qi us cuz of our light colour!

simon:
u are the earliest i knew in this SS group. cuz of BS 1. and was very surprised abt his signing and expressions. u can be really an actor and act niang niang qiang roles.. HAHAHA. then arh... bluff us tuan tuan zhuan. red liao stillll don admit. haha. and same relationship situation as me. but nvm. don neglect me and wan lin can le... haha.. see u around hopefully in next BS 2 class.

deric:
haha.. u are always smiling all the time. very cute and charming. anyway, was v v shocked that u know him. the world is soo small can??? nice to meet u! that was the biggest surprise in this camp? hahaha. but u arh, always spoil the market by ur lovely cards that u make. next time ur lover will be very impressed by the cards that u make for her! haha... stay charming!

zhen yun:
though i don really know u that much cuz u missed out some practices, but i can see that u are a very caring girl towards everybody in this SS group. take care always

eunice:
stays pretty! it must be tough working and busy with the performance at the same time. jia you and work hard!

liang sheng:
u seem very quiet but u are really great at detecting polar bear and hunter. oh my goodness. thanks for ur gift~ that's very interesting. zhen ren bu lou xiang. haha=)

oooo.. i actually missed out one person!
kim phong! my partner in the performance:
i forgot him when he always ask me to remember. and everyone's saying that he keeps bullying me. im so ke lian. haha. i have known him since VOC. haha a nice person to joke around. remember remember remember!!!


sometimes i dreaded the late nights and early mornings when we are having our practices. perhaps that at the start, we are not so bonded yet and couldnt get the formation ready. but as times go by, no matter how tired i am, i will look forward to seeing everyone for the practice. though it's just another round of practice, we had lotsa fun playing the games introduced by the other fellow friends. especially during performances days when we were 70% playing 30% practicing. haha... everyone admits it right? and we were busy learning other groups' songs. haha... i never thought me myself when i can talk so much here. i am a very quiet girl u can ask my friends right? perhaps that the people i met here is comfortable to be with. so i am a changed person now? in RSPHI? haha... well, i need some time to appreciate my silence again. back to my quiet world!

thanks everybody for this memorable experience =)

so surprised to see my pri sch fren qiyuan! she's also piao piao's fren. what a small world right? anyway. thank ZY and karen for specially coming down to support us ... thanks karen for ur gifts. so sorry din make one for u.

happy birthday DAD! =))

the day has come!

oh my goodness! i am soo high today. haha. never been that high after rsphi camp starts due to those intensive practices. sometimes it can be quite bored too, practising the same line over and over again. chanting and signing at the same time. and also the worse thing getting home late every night and getting up early every morning for another day of practice. however, rsphi camp is just like a normal practice day just that there are meals provided. just thinking back that, regretted that i din come on the first day cuz it's the day everyone end early. but anyway i get enough of rest =)

putting back the times we spent on intensive practices, standing at one line after mass performance and get shot down by "harsh comments", we can finally get up to the stage and enjoy every moment in the short song we have up on the stage. after this event i doubt everyone can gather again and enjoy song signing. i love song signing!!! cuz of the music and the meaning of the song we try to convey to the audience. thinking back, it's very long since the last time i perform in public? and most importantly, making friends from other centres! loves last christmas!

today at white sands, met wan lin and deric at JE before 3 of us head to pasir ris together. and we are early. but i'm late meeting them.. oops.. then all of us practise at one of the void decks around white sands. most of the time playing games, cuz we have practised the performance for quite some time already... xue fen taught us a new game (well it's new to me) the hunter, polar bear, villagers. very exciting game and quite scary game (cuz very psychological, dumb dumb like me sure lose)... great bonding time. i think we got to know each other a little better? haha...
we started performing at 7pm, actually not many people at white sands watch our performance. is all seniors, rsphi people, ntu people came down to watch our performance. when i was "skiving" at the upper level of the shopping centre, when we are supposed to give out a little cards to the public. alot of children went up to me and wanted the cards! and they are so delighted to receive it, then they shouted "thank you jie jie!" haha so cute... and i was so satisfied.

looking forward to tmr's and sunday. looking forward more to sunday cuz all RSPHI gather together and cheer for everyone. and also sure got alot of people at bugis cuz bugis street is near and bugis is central area. sunday will be lots of people. !!! so looking forward ... it marks a great memory to everyone in RSPHI!

jia you everyone... loves RSPHI!!!

sick again!!!

i thought i would be in rsphi camp by now... but in the morning i fell sick again. well, nothing much serious but much more serious (sounds contradicting?). nothing much serious is because i can walk run jump do whatever with my body, not like last wednesday when i was so feverish i couldn't get up to walk properly to the toilet or whatsoever. but much more serious is that i need to use the nasal spray again .. hmm the last time i used it was in j1. the doc say it was my nose that's very sensitive, causing the phlegm in my throat and sore throat. some reflux in my nose? that's why i haven been recovering from my cough lately. no wonder. medication costs a bomb again. therefore, i would have to forgo today's activity.

Don't Procrastinate!

Jia Xin shouldn't be procrastinating already. i have been resting for almost a week from the day i finished my exams. blame me for eating chicken yesterday. my cough worsens!!!! well, anyway tmr is the RSPHI camp and i have not been practising the song lately. (p.s i hope other people also same like me . wahahahhaha. *evils*)
looking at my calender. hey.. i thinking still got people just finish their exams is it? hai... so sad.
but anyway. i would be very busy for this week and next week with the x'mas song sign performances. hope can find some time for tuition too cuz it will not be beneficial to stop halfway for a long time. anyway yesterday i just went for my first lesson. wooo. i didnt know she keep a persian cat too!! sooooooo.... cute!!! i love it .. haha =)

why does my cough still hasnt recover???

Standard Chartered Marathon

kinda regret not joining the volunteer with my friends 2 years ago. cuz going it "alone" can be quite bored and sian. plus the sore throat that's making me suffer. luckily i made a friend and we accompany each other all along. my sector is the sector which is always leave the last. we stopped at kallang area with alot of fields and courts for sports. me and my friend rested at the walkway pavement leading to a house of toilets, facing the stadium. a peaceful night, disrupted by my noisy coughing. i cant stand it. i am physically ok but my sore throat makes me so tired and worn out. surprised to see some of my friends running. thus i cheer for them. but it's so demanding for me to shout. so i didnt. waited for very very long before our place can stand down when zy boy already finished his lunch and can go home sleep. i just cant wait to get it over.

my throat needs a good rest....

i hate coughs!!

this is so seasonal. i am always falling sick after exams, with the same illness. and that is sore throat. i shouldnt have eaten the fried chicken wing on sunday.

on tuesday, during my last paper MAS 801 i started to feel unwell when i was doing the paper and stumbled upon those questions that i donno how to do. after that i couldnt take it anymore and went back, feeling very very uncomfortable, feeling cold inside but hot outside. after exams couldnt enjoy, need to stay at home and rest. coughing and coughing. wonder how it will be like during the standard chartered marathon tmr. hope everything will go smoothly and faster end. kinda bored abt it. i just want to fully recover.

and i haven started practising my song yet. rsphi camp is starting soon! december holidays is zooming past fast!!! nvm. i just want to go malaysia and enjoy. and there are still tons of stuff waiting for me to do. but just donno where to start from.

why am i always doing the wrong thing???

to do list:
- faster start tuition!
- pack my cupboard
- pack my clothes wardrobe
- do some filing
- practise song signing
- piling question bank
one more thing . i shall not say it here. haha
- movies to catch: Gokusen: The Movie, and Mulan
- k box ( given my throat situation, hais.... forget it)
