Quick blog before I go and cry over hmk and tests.

Y'know, it's not that I'm selfish. I just want a basic courtesy of asking. I wanted to limit the no. of people to 5 at first. It's not like we're blind enough not to see that the shelter is very small and there's very limited space to move around.

Yes, it's nice to share but the shelter have mentioned on fb before that they don't exactly fancy too big a crowd. If I don't stop this "growing population", the whole class would be there sooner or later. Thus, from next week onwards, a limit of 10 people would be allowed to go. First-come-first-serve basis.

It's for the good of the dogs and operations there.

Have manners.

Week 1 is finally over!

Overall it was pretty slack since all labs and tutorials were more or less canceled. I had days where I went to school for like 2hrs. Hahaha. Today's lecture was canceled so I only had lesson from 10am-12pm. Awesomeness.

I'm a LITTLE stressed though. Lectures go very fast but I guess it's like that so I'll have to adapt somehow. Another thing is to get GPA 4.0, I need to score 80% and above. That includes CDS. ): I'm kinda afraid cos I'm starting to get lost during lectures now. But overall I still understand cos most of the content is from sec school. BUT! Best thing is, I have awesome friends who are willing to teach and study together. :D

Honestly, I wanna get a perfect GPA of 4.0. It IS possible and I know of a few seniors in my course who have such a grade. Oh I forgot to mention, there's a grade "Z". It sounds like you got a 0 for a subject but actually it's only given to the top 10% of your class (or cohort. I can't rmb). Which means, only 1 or 2 people in a class can get it. Lol. Ah wells, I'm just happy if I get an A (80%). It would mean GPA 4.0.

Suzume, stop comparing. Although it's pretty important during these 3 years to get to the top, academics isn't everything. Aim for 80%. You don't have to aim for grade Z. Know what you can do, silly girl.

Oh I have another reason to love my friends. We're going to Mdm Wong's shelter weekly. Did I mention that already? I kinda forgot. ;x Hahaha. Which means Monday we're going again! :D Yayness! I must rmb to bring my camera this time. Wanna take pics of the cuties there, esp the puppies, pixie and ahlian! (:

Today I went back to SNG to meet up with Beatrice, Joan, Jessica and Hiu Min. Hiu Min is joining JCC in NP! Which means she MIGHT be part of SOY! Coolness. :D Speaking of CCAs, I'm gonna said 2 CCAs. Community Service Club AND Japanese Cultural Group. Oh and I have to sign up for JCG like now. Brb.

Back. Sent an email. Kay back to my story. Basically I went back to visit Guides. I don't really feel the nostalgia though... Must be cos it's a different place now. But I still love my juniors. Jiayous Green Badge for Os! Stop complaining it's so freakin' hard cos things are gonna get harder when you advance upwards! Ganbatte~

Joanna and Carol went back too! Miss my blue badge guides. Love them loads. Shit I'm getting all nostalgic now. OHNOS!! Okay anw, I can't find any red badge flowerpeckers! Everytime I see a bunch of red badge freshies, I'll go up to them if they're from flowerpeck. NONE OF THEM ARE. WHY?! Beatrice and Joanna got to see some of their freshies already!! D:

Nvm. Camp I'll go back and search again. HAHA. Oh and I just smsed Nerice Aw a few moments ago to ask if she's free to go for camp and as of now she is! I can't wait to see her. I think the last time I saw her was prom can. Lol. What good friends we are hahaha. When I see her, it also means my holidays are here~ :P

Okay I'm feeling kinda tired now. Shall do some hmk before sleeping till 2pm tmr. LOL. ;x

Freshie ish noobzxzxz.

I'm stuck in the middle.

Let's be frank here, I don't like the word "clique". Although it does make it sound like you have a fixed number of friends, it also sorta mean that you're kinda blocking off other people. Hais... Here's the situation I'm facing:

We started off as a clique of 4.
Another girl enters during the last day of orientation.
Thus we become a clique of 5.
An odd number.
Hard to pair up.
Meaning someone would be left out somehow.
Some of us in the clique feels uncomfortable.
Wants to "kick out" this new girl.
A part of me does not want to defy in fear that I'll be hated.
Another part of me don't wanna do it.

The main reason is cos of the fear of conflicts if we remain as a clique of 5. Like someone would feel neglected. My stand is...

There are bound to be conflicts in the game of life. What matters is how you handle the conflicts.

But yet, I'm still unsure of what to do. Should I go along with this "clique" of mine? Or should I still welcome her into our "clique"?

There was a birthday celebration for a guy in our class today. I thought the whole class was invited. In the end it was just the guys and our clique (our clique is somewhat closer to the guys). Guess what? I was shocked that the new girl wasn't invited. They didn't want her to get the "wrong idea" that she's in our clique...

Call me a wuss or whatever but I just can't do it. I grew up as an introvert, which means I was left out a lot. Popular people won't be able to understand. The feeling hurts... Like you're not important. That said, I grew up with it so I'm kind of used to it. However, I don't want others to feel the same. I don't want to do the same to others. Just because others did it to me doesn't mean I can do the same to others.

I rather let nature take it's own course. If she isn't meant to be in our clique, she'll eventually flow into another. By purposely leaving her out... I think THAT would lead into a conflict.

I'm so contradicting myself now... Cos this post would probably lead into a conflict. But I need a medium to let it off my chest. I feel so torn inside. Help. ):

どうしよ？

Last night, my yuki-chan almost left us.

Her milk bone got stuck in her oesophagus and she was coughing like mad. She was foaming and I kept trying to help her push the bone out. After 10mins the bone still wasnt coming out and her tongue was turning purple and was hanging out. If you know, when a person is hanged, the tongue dangles out. There were also 2-3 times she suddenly went into spasm mode. I remained calm and firmly told my dad we HAD to go to the vet.

On the way, all I wanted to ensure was that she can breathe. Her tongue slowly turned back to pinkish colour. I massaged her throat gently so as not to press to hard and cover her windpipe as well. Midway, she puked out foam again but after that she was much better. I felt her throat once more and the huge piece of milk bone seemed to have gone down. She started to pant normally.

However, just to make sure, we still sent her into A&E at Mt. Pleasant. The doctor told us if she choked, she prob wouldve died in 5mins. Theyre still wondering what exactly happened. Its either we acted fast enough to clear some passageway for air, or the bone wasnt very huge. But it WAS quite huge for her throat actually. Either way, they took an x-ray and saw a huge chunk of round thing in her stomach, suspecting it would be the bone.

All is well and Yuki-chan was given some meds for the swelling in the throat and meds to make her burp and fart cos a lot of air was taken in when she was trying to cough out the bone. I was thinking how lucky we were. Cos my dad actually gave Yuki-chan the bone and left her alone at home. If anything were to happen, no one wouldve known and we would have came home facing a dead dog. I was thanking my lucky stars and thanking god. It wasnt time for Yuki-chan to go yet.

Why must all traumatizing dog experiences happen on the day before school reopen?! Rocky went to Rainbow Bridge on the last day of June hols... and this happened before my 1st day of poly. Now I dont even feel like blogging about my 1st day of school, despite it being quite eventful. Perhaps later...

Thank god.

The last day of orientation finally came. I was looking forward to it! My mood was dampened due to the heavy rain in the morning though. Reached super early again. -_-'' Gail didn't come cos she has high fever. D: Take care Gail!!

Jolyn came soon after and she was trapped at the taxi stand so I went down to pick her up. My shoes and socks got TOTALLY soaked. Jolyn felt so guilty that she helped me blow dry my socks! So nice right? Now I feel guilty. HAHA. Oh and we changed into our AS tee! I love green. (:

Shu Feng was late today! Hahaha. I left my socks in the LT to let it dry and walked around with my super wet shoes. Went to TCC and it was suuuuuuuuper cold. My wet shoes didn't help either. I took them off and I think it stank the whole TCC. ;x

At the TCC we watched some skit thingy. It was pretty hilarious haha. After that we proceeded to boring cheers. ): I dunno why but I can't seem to get high with the cheers. It got pretty boring from there on. But my awesome friends kept it lively. :D I'm so grateful for them.

After TCC we headed for the track for the olympiad thingy. Had our lunch there. Lunch wasn't very good cos they served fake meat. To start with I don't like meat so even if it's fake meat it was still gross to me. D: Cheered for the games and stuff. The games were quite cute and innovative haha. Sadly AS lost. Aww... But nehmind hurrhurr.

Proceeded to bedok reservoir when all the games were done. Cheered for dragon boat and some CCAs performed for us. I guess AS is mainly occupied with geeks (that's what we are labeled as) and thus we are not very athletic. Hahaha. BUT... AS won the cheer competition! It would be the 4th time in a row!! AS is awesome. :D

Didn't like the place we were sitting on though... We sat on WET, DECAYING leaves. When I stood up something hit my ankle and when I looked down, a millipede was crawling away. @($*)(#*$!!! From then on I didn't dare to sit down anymore. ): I stood all the way till 7pm. Oh and somehow I didn't hear the announcement about being dismissed at 8pm so when I knew I was kinda pissed and my mood shot down even further.

Furthermore, Shu Feng had sth on so she had to leave at 6pm, leaving me with a new found friend, Gui Mei! :D She didn't come for the previous 2 days of orientation and she clicks pretty well with us. (: Glad to have her around.

At 7pm we went back to the LT to take our matric card (god I'm so unphotogenic) and timetable. I like receiving new timetables. (: My timetable is not bad either. Earliest to go to school is 9am and latest is 6pm. The 6pm one is only on one day though. :D I'm thinking of making my volunteer visits to Mdm Wong's shelter to a weekly one on every Monday since I end at 2pm. ^_^ I have more animal-loving friends to come with me too!

I'm happy to be in TP.

幸せ

My muscle aches worsened! D: I can hardly bend my legs now. T.T At least friday would be all cheering and stuff... I hope.

I'm sleeping far too much now. After 12 hrs of sleep, I stayed up till 4am and had 8hrs of sleep. ._.'' Wanted to go to Mdm Wong's shelter today but ended up going out with pa to look at laptops. I love pink laptops. :D I'm so gay. But whatever.

I finally made a new pair of specs! Haha it'll be done just in time before school officially starts. (: Oh and I have something to ask you guys. I'm having headaches over what to wear for school so I was thinking if I should get a few sets of "uniforms".

It'll be something like what Ogawa Yui wears:


Basically its:
-White short sleeved blouse
-Tie
-High waist pleated + checkered skirt

I'm planning to buy like similar ones just different colours. I'm still thinking if I should buy sth to wear under the skirt to make it slightly poofy like Yui's one. Maa... I dunno if I should do it. I think it'll totally change my classmate's impression of me. HAHAHA. But if I really do it I don't have to have a headache over what to wear. :s

Things pulling me back:
-Cost of clothes
-Once I do it I probably have to do it for the rest of my 3 years
-I'll be labelled as 'weird' once again (but actually I'm used to it already so this pt isn't very valid)

Advantages:
-No more headaches! :D
-I love it. ;x
-Simple and not so exaggerated like Lolita. (there are hardcore lolitas in polys)

HELP ME!!

Survived day 2 of orientation, fortunately. XD

I'll try to see what I rmb...

Met Shu Feng and Gail at 11am to have brunch at macs at tampines mall first. Oh and before that I bought lays at NTUC while waiting for them (I was very early ;x). After macs we went back to NTUC and Gail bought mars and smarties. :D Then we took 23 to tp. Was supposed to meet Jolyn at the bus stop outside tp but in the end she went in already HAHA.

Assembled at LT5 again I think...? Then we went to lvl 6 for our careperson thingy. I'm index 1, again. ._.'' So I went in first. Our careperson is... uh oh I forgot his name LOL. But I knew him from Open House. (: He asked a few standard questions and stuff. He's a friendly guy, which is good. :D

After the interview the class played double whako while waiting to go in. Played until sian liao then we started to learn the school song. o.o'' Our school song have sign language one HAHA. Kinda cool but it's quite gay too. XD Only half of our class managed to go for the interview. Proceeded to the AS canteen (flavours I think) to have some drinks. It's airconditioned! :D Cool huh? It's like those kopitiam. When we finished our drinks, Shu Feng and Jolyn had to change their pads. Since we're in a mixed school, we can't openly bring the pads lol. Although some people say they don't care and just take it out openly. XD I was the only one with pockets so I had to loan them a pocket each LOL.

Oh and the other half of our class went for the interview soon after. Stoned for quite awhile before assembling back have dinner and they had black pepper fish thingy (vegetarian style) AND I LOVED IT!! Mainly cos I love black pepper crab too! It was the exact same sauce!! Made the dinner so worthwhile. (:

Waited for Amazing Race to start in the LT. Split our groups and Shu Feng was appointed to another class! ): Sobs. Gail, Jolyn and I were in the same group though. Bryan led us around.

Our first clue was to go the lvl 6 maze. Before that, at the canteen, Bryan told us about the ghost story in lvl 6.... That a girl was murdered and stuffed into the locker. Soon after the incident people started saying they saw a girl sitting on the lockers. When they removed the lockers, people started saying they are seeing lockers. O_O... We kinda freaked out when we went there haha. But it was still ok, until the lights went off completely. -_-... According to them, our maze wasn't as scary as another one. A girl from the other maze actually cried, like REAL bad.

When my turn reached to enter the maze, I was freaked out already HAHA. Cos I was supposed to make a u-turn. In front of me were all garbage bags and no openings. Beside the lightstick was a fake head. -.-'' When I saw the opening behind I wasn't sure if i was supposed to go there cos it was kinda weird. When I finally decided to, it was pitch dark. Luckily the person before me, Charlotte was still not far infront of me. She told me it was supposed to be pitch dark so I just walked forward till I saw her. I heaved a sigh of relief. (:

She led me to the rubberbands we were supposed to take. If she didn't I would've just forgotten. If I did, I had to go back in agn. =33=... Proceeded forward into the maze and we bumped into Tehjah (I dunno how to spell his name!!) He was big-sized and cos it was so dark, we could barely see anything. When he saw us, he walked infront of us and gave a low "Hi." Both of us totally SCREEEAAAMED!!! Lolol. XD He should thank god he didn't get kicked cos Charlotte learns Teakwando and she's planning to go for YOG. HAHA.

Met Gail and Jolyn inside as well cos they were finding an exit. They mistook the exit as the entrance so they were desperately looking for another one. After turning round and round we decided to try opening the door and yay! We were all out tgt~ (which we weren't supposed to but nvrmind) XD

When everyone finished the maze, we took the next clue and had to run all the way to TCC! If you know, AS school is one end and TCC is the other end of the school. I'm so weak so I just jogged there. ;x Played the scissors paper stone then pour water on loser game. Falken (not FELKEN. I know I spelt it wrong in the previous post) won! :D Jolyn said Bryan is cute HAHA. He looks like a little boy so I guess that's why he's cute...? I dunno. Both Gail and I aren't very interested LOL. Probably cos both of us were from a girls school for TEN years. :D

Next clue was to... AS school agn? It was a blindfolded game and everyone have to walk on the dotted line. Most of our class cheated cos we just arranged the blindfold in a way that we can see a bit. XD Teachings from Bryan. Lol. At the end we were supposed to put our hands into starch and take a rubberband. Gross shit. Haha. I thought it was leftover food la! It looked like it lor. Falken lost though. ): But we won the cheer! :D Awesomeness.

Proceeded to.. where ah... the water bucket game? I cannot rmb the sequence le. ;x Anyway we were supposed to lift a bucket with our feet (without touched the bottom) and removed our shoes and the same time. Split into 2 smaller groups and my group finished VERY quickly. The other group's strength was eneven so they kept dropping the bucket. Nevertheless, we still won. :P I think it was supper after that. Met up with the other half of the class led by Priscilla. Drank warm milo and some biscuits. Played Handiplus and Tehjah whacked Yiyang (I think) so hard that you can REALLY see his veins popping out. Ouch.

Continued with AR. Next should be the Acid River thing. We had to cross a "river" using "planks" and at every one time the plank should be stepped on or it would be taken away. The game was quite fun, just that I almost did a split LOL. XD Ended super early AGAIN (we kept ending early... resulting in slack moments and being able to walk slowly to our next station). Talked a bit about our dogs and stuff. Haha. Can really see we're from Vet Tech. XD OH OH and we were given shirts and behind says "VeT'. HOW COOL IS THAT?!?! LOVE IT!!!! :D

Slowly walked to the next station and we got super wet there. We were supposed to carry cups with HOLES in OUR MOUTHS with our arms INTERLOCKED. We went in pairs la. There were obstacles in the way and they distracted us by SERIOUSLY splashing water around. At the end our goal was to use the water to fill a 1.5 litre water bottle. My mouth ached after that! D: It was the most thrilling one though. :D

Finally we reached our last showdown. It was the most tiring game as well. We had our own fortress and we were given rings to throw into other people's fortress. When it's into a box, 1 pt is given. Into a chair leg, 5 pts. into the pole, 10pts. 1st half was quite alright. 2nd half was bad cos after a whistle (when a whistle is blown, we're supposed to lie on the ground FLAT.) everyone suddenly came to attack Falken. D: But I managed to throw a ring into a leg chair! :D

Went back to LT5 after the game and met up with Shu Feng! Changed into dry clothes. (: We wanted to skip the learning the cheers part (really boring) so we went out with the exucse that we wanted to eat cup noodles (yes they served cup noodles as "breakfast"). In the end we were only allowed to have 1 cup and there were 4 of us so we decided that it was finally the time to bring out our snacks. :D Invited the guys to join us and we had a mini "1/4 of the class" outing. XD That was our breakfast. Haha.

The sun slowly rose and we were finally dismissed. Pa came to fetch me home after sending my bro and mum to school. (: Yuki came along too! XD She licked me like some crazy dog in the car. Hahaha. Went home, bathed, turned on the air con and slept for close to 12hrs before waking up for dinner. :D

I SURVIVED!!! Amazing. It wasn't as crazy as the one at TPRAWKS. If it was, I probably would have really died cos that one I can't even run. My asthmatic cough was acting up. D: See how bad it was?

Oh and great news. I DON'T HAVE ORIENTATION TMR!!! ^_^~ Only VeT dunnid! Haha! Cos we did whatever we had to do on Day 1 already! :D We only have to go back on Friday where all 6 schools' freshies come together for some showdown thingy. (: Whee!

Love you K01 or TK01 or whatever we're called. :D

I survived day 1 of orientation. Why? We didn't even play much. :D

This morning I left house together with my whole family. My dad fetch my bro to school first before sending me to Bishan interchange before sending my mum to work. XD When I reach the interchange it was close to 7.30am. Took 59 and reached at about 8.20am. Walked TWO bus stops to TP and I was 5min late. ): But most people reached around that time too hahaha. ;x

I brought the wrong piece of paper so I forgot where to meet. Based on my memory and instincts, I managed to reach the place without any hiccups! Cool huh? XD Went to LT5 where Felkons unite. Saw Claudia (Jessica's bestie) but she was in another class. Sad right!! ): My class is K01, in short, K1. After 10 years of formal education, I actually went back to K1?!?! XDXD Lol. Oh and my class has 25 people. Out of which only 5 people are guys. Plus, most of the guys didn't want to go to this course LOL. Poor guys.

Sat next to a girl called Gail. She's go sociable! Which is great, if not I would've stoned and cried in my heart. T.T

Proceeded to some com lab which I forgot which one HAHA. Gail and I sat with 2 other girls, Shu Feng and Jolyn! :D From there the 4 of us sorta became a clique. Hahaha. Was educated on copyright issues and plagiarism there. Research part was super sian cos we really had to RESEARCH. ._.'' Played Second Life there too. Haha. It was kinda interesting cos we had to build a house and it's not as simple as Sims. We have to take note of the thickness and all sorts of angles. But I did the research part so I only watched them finish up the house. (: Oh forgot to mention, our OLs are Priscilla and Bryan. :D

I actually forgot that I ticked vegetarian in my indemnity form so when they asked if I had any food preferences I said no. ;x Oops. Still got my vegetarian meal though. Whee~ Bryan is a vegetarian too! Although before that I thought I heard him say, "I was a vegetarian too!" I was kinda o.o...? Hahaha.

After lunch, we proceeded to another com lab to learn about the different online systems in school. I shall go see if my timetable is out already later. :D It was pretty boring cos there were so many systems! We have TP student portal, some olive thingy inside, Applied Science portal AND student email. =33=... Luckily the speaker was kinda entertaining. (:

Last item of the day was games. I was talking too much so I didn't notice our scorings at all. ;x We played this obstacle game thingy which "Friends" (when we address each other, we just call one another 'friend'. Haha) did not play cos time ran out. We did play the water cup game though. I think I was being such a bimbo will playing it cos I was screaming like one when Shu Feng almost crashed into an obstacle (she was blindfolded. I was supposed to guide her). :\

We only played these 2 games. I wanted to play water bomb!! Reminds me of Guiding days when I was in lower sec. Upper sec time... susanlim banned them. -.-'' Ah wells...

We proceeded for some CM lecture thing. I was dozing off! Plus I think the lecturer saw me!! So embarrassing can. ): Sorry la, we were all damn tired le. Plus she was so... boring. ;x After she finally finished her long and boring talk/lecture, one OL came in a briefed us on the rest of the activities for orientation. We need to do this kindness skit (wth...) and all sorts of rubbish. Plus, they JUST told us that we have to report to 12.30pm tmr. Wtf. Amazing race puts me off already and you guys have to put it AT NIGHT and now I have to wake up at 8am+ cos I need so much time to travel. I officially hate orientation. I love my classmates though. * Sigh *

Oh oh and we have to report so early cos of Careperson INTERVIEW. What?! If he/she is really a CAREperson, would he/she schedule this stupid interview on our overnight stay?! If it's one-to-one I might really ask he/she about it. Zzz. Because of that, I'll be up for more than 24 hours due to travelling and bathing and whatnots.

): The kindness skit thing even has to continue all the way till after school officially reopens... Biang... Jiu Ming... I'm half hoping I'll fall sick by tmr. Half not hoping cos I dun wanna miss the times with my new found friends. :\ Why oh why must they be so super onz.

Anyway, I took 59 back to Bishan to have dinner. Super jam at Toa Payoh so I took like 1.5hrs to reach Bishan. ): I almost had a butt cramp. Did I mention I'm gonna try taking MRT tmr? I'll see which one is faster.

Which me more luck tmr. T.T

Tired.

Okay it's about time I update about my jam-packed last few days of freedom.

Friday

Photoshoot day! :D Woke up late. -_- Thus lesser time to get ready. When I was at the bus stop it was almost 3pm already (was supposed to meet claudia at 3pm at Bishan mrt). Then I realised that I should wear a red hair band and hair tie to suit my dress. So I rushed all the way back home to change it and when I went back to the bus stop, I just missed the bus. -.-''

Met claudia at Bishan mrt. Was a little later than her. I always make her wait. Sorry! ): Overall we were both very late. Supposed to meet at 3.30pm but met at 4+ instead. ;x Location changed from Raffles Place to City Hall. Met JP and his 2 friends at City Hall. Walked for a looooooooong while to Milennia Walk (?) which was under renovation so we went to some nearby place (I dunno wads the place called) and took some pics. It was damn windy but it was fun. :D Pictures on facebook when I upload them. Probably later or tmr.

After snapping quite a number of shots, it started raining, heavily. D: So we changed our location to esplanade. Stopped at a few places for a few shots on the way there. Bought soya milk to fill my stomach a little while claudia bought soya milk ice blend and 2 cheese pancakes. It looked super yummy. :D

At esplanade, JP's friend came for another photoshoot so JP started taking pics of her while JP's friends took pics of me and claudia. (: Managed to catch the sun set! :DDD By then it was pretty late already and I had to head back home for family dinner so me and claudia left.

Thank you JP and friends for the photoshoot! It was very fun!! Can't wait for the pictures from JP's friends side. (:

Met my mum at Bishan cos she went to buy drinks first. Took the bus back home and we had pizza waiting for us!! ^_^ Yum~~ After which we watched tv and proceeded to play monopoly! I had a touch match with my bro all the way till 2.30am cos we kept taking each others money hahaha. In the end he won. It's okay! Still have next week! MUAHAHAHAHA!!

Saturday

Rehearsal day! For what, I shall not say, in case they kill me. XD It seems like if I take MRT I only need around 40min+ to reach around Tampines area. Once Paya Lebar station opens, it'll probably take less than 30min to reach Tampines. Good good. (: I'm still debating if I should take MRT or bus to school tmr. Hmm...

ANYWAY~ It was fun dancing with jac! XD The dance was super fun too! Hahaha. The atmosphere was super good cos everyone was willing to dance. :D Managed to learn TWO 8 sets or 8! Ain't that awesome? In like 2hrs! It's really great cos it ended on time (actually early!). Now I can't wait for the actual date!! :DD I shall video cam the actual date. (:

After the rehearsal, Jac and I went to buy bubble tea. Walked around Candy Empire and Jac is so cute lol. XD We walked walked walked and she finally said, "Okay I wanna buy chocolate." So we walked to where the choc she wanted to buy was and she picked it up, looked at the price again, put it back and said, "$3 very ex leh... Dun wan buy liao." LOL. XD Aiyah, it's those you-have-to-be-there-to-know-it kind of moments. :P

We parted ways after that cos she took a bus to Yishun while I took the MRT. Love spending time with Jac. (: Really a pity that Jes missed the 1st rehearsal which resulted in her unable to participate in the performance. ()@&$(*&$@!!! If I knew I would've helped her hand up her form first. Zzz.

Sunday

Lolita Tea Party @ A87 day! :D I went for it cos it was free. LOL. ;x It was still fun though. Sort of made new friends (didn't take their contact though. HAHA.). We had our free lunch, which was kinda miserable for me cos I don't really like chicken and they served:
-Omurice with MUSHROOM (omg yuck) inside
-Fried CHICKEN SKIN
-Fried chicken wing
-Tamago roll

Have I mentioned before? I also don't really like too much egg. XD Plus, the drink they served was milk TEA. Luckily there was the MILK added there, or I might have died. Chatted (not much for me) among the lolitas and we went to the 2nd floor to take pics. Now I wonder where I can see the pictures. HAHA. Phail. Shall go search for it. Dragged till 4.15pm and I finally left cos my parents were waiting for me.

Should I join as a talent? Like go for photoshoots but get paid for them... I'll be sort of be under A87 and we'll sign a contract to protect both parties so I guess it's kinda safe? Plus, I get to choose if I wanna take up the project or not. I like the flexibility. (:

Tell me if I should or should not! :D

Yep. That's it. Tomorrow is my orientation already... Not looking forward to it. ): Hais... Nvm shall survive the week somehow. T.T... Shall look forward to next week! Where my lessons start! :D YAY!!! Anyway I just hope there isn't too many activities for my orientation cos I'm getting muscleaches from cycling + dancing + photoshoot continuously.

Wish me luck for tomorrow. D:

Bye freedom.

Yay!! I went cycling today at ECP with claudia! :D Finally I got some proper exercise after 6mths of holiday. Gosh I'm so fat now.

Lets start from the beginning. (: Met claudia at Bishan to take 13 to ECP. Listened to music all the way. It was suuuuuuper boring cos the bus ride lasted for like 1hr+? Hahaha so both of us just stoned and listen to our own music. XD

When we finally reached, we made our way to macs and I had mcspicy like AGAIN! Oh god. We spent like an hour there and I applied my sun block in macs. Lol. Do you think it's weird? To see someone applying sun block in macs? XDXD But I guess since it's at ECP it's not so weird ba hahaha.

Rented our bikes. It's only $6 for 3hrs! :o It's supposedly pay for 1hr, get 2hrs free. Lolol. It was a good deal. (: It's good to be cycling again! I love cycling!! Just that my butt and -ahem- would hurt. ): Haha don't feel disgusted. XD Anyway I love the breeze when I'm cycling plus the beach right beside me. ^_^ Loved it.

We cycled all the way to the jetty area and rested for awhile, camwhoring using claudia's hp hahaha cos I forgot to bring my camera. ;x Oops! Chatted and once we got our rest, we continued cycling. Went all the way to a place where there were a lot of... sailing boats? I forgot what they are called. But they were all damn cute, floating on the sea liddat. XD Camwhored SOMEMORE... and talked about stuff like school and such. It's nice talking to claudia. (: When we were about to leave, my slippers were like infested with ants. T.T I was freakin' out and claudia helped me out in brushing them off. Thanks!! Love you honey~ :DD

From there, we started to head back. We made a stop at this beautiful place filled with different coloured bougainvilleas. It was suuuuper nice!! Maybe can have photoshoot there next time too! But it's not very big though. Ah wells. Camwhored there again LOL. You can't escape camwhoring when you're with claudia. ;x

Cycled all the way back to where we started. Before returning the bikes back, we went to soak our feet in the water first. Love the feeling, although the journey towards the water was bad. The sand were poking my feet like crazy! There was only a small part of the beach where the sand was soft and nice. We climbed onto the breakwater there. There were 2 actually, I think the sand started to move out so they had to build another one? I dunno, the old breakwater was almost covered with sand. Oh god, now I wonder how I got A1 for combined humans. -_-''

Spent some quality time there * hearts *. HAHA. When we decided to leave, I was such a coward. =33= I was so scared jumping down the breakwater. Zzz. It was quite steep and I didn't have my slippers on PLUS, the sand was the rough type. ): I totally did NOT want to injure myself. I finally hopped off soon enough but while I was in the air, at that split second, my heart really jumped. Hahaha, what a wuss.

We saw two dogs. One labrador and another mixed I think. They were together with their ang moh owners. Okay but that's not the point. All I wanted to say is that they're so adorable!! XD Their pawprints on the sand was like "aww~". Lol. I'm so amused by the littlest things.

Went to macs to wash our feet first. My slipper had one flower missing so while I was washing my feet, a little boy beside me pointed to my slipper and said, "Your flower drop off..." I laughed, he looked up at me with his innocent eyes and I smiled back. I love little kids. (: (ONLY WHEN THEY ARE NOT WHINING AND THINKING THE WHOLE WORLD OWES THEM)

We decided to try taking 55 back to Bishan so we bough bubble tea on the way. (: Went into our stoning mode again and claudia dropped off first to change a bus to take back home while I went all the way to Bishan interchange.

Lucky me, 52 arrived when I reached the waiting bay. In my heart I was thinking, "hmm, maybe I'll meet mummy. Too bad she forgot to bring her hp, if not I can call her to ask where she was." I was looking around for her but it was so crowded... Almost halfway back home, when the crowd finally cleared at Bishan St. 22, I looked up and saw my mum stoning! I was totally "LOL!" in my head. XD I stared at her reeeeaaaal hard and smiled widely. She saw me and gave me the "do I know you?" look. XD Partly cos I didn't have my specs on. HAHA. When she finally recognised me I walked up to her. Lolol. How coincidental right? The other time I was taking 52 also I think. And at the Bishan St. 22 stop my bro boarded the bus. XD Proves that we're really one family. Hahaha.

Photoshoot tmr. (: Claudia's coming along too! :D Pretty her would produce pretty pictures. ^^v Can't wait! Whee~

Ano ne, gomen ne.

Orientation starts next Monday and I wanna finish some stuff before it starts... Such as:

-CLEANING UP MY ROOM! XD
-Settle accounts for Pets Dream (I seriously need to organize things since we're starting to import overseas things)

I've got my school bag ready le. (: Just need to clear a shelf for TP stuff like my notes in the future.

...
...
...

Shit I think my wound just opened. No wonder it hurts like shit. -_-

...
...
...

ANYWAY... -ouch- I'm excited AND scared at the same time. ): Excited about the new environment, new future, totally new people and new future. I'm scared about the people there. :\ TP is a very outgoing type of school and I'm kinda afraid of those super high people and... majority of them definitely would not be like St. Nicks people. I've been GROWING UP with st. nicks people for 10years. A huge change would be kinda hard. I dunno how to say this but I guess TP people would be more... wild? ;x

I was afraid of my attire too. Like what is allowed and what is not. I don't even have a proper PE attire. It'll be super weird if I wore SNG PE attire. -_- I figured out it'll be even weirder if I wore full sports attire as well. Argh. I'll just wear whatever I'm comfortable to run in. Oh and my school bag is a backpack. I realised that poly clothes don't really go well with backpacks. Well, for me that is. :s So I was afraid I'll look like a weirdo in the campus.

But...

In the end I remembered who I was. I'm someone who doesn't really like following trends which led me to be labelled as "weird" fashion wise. I grew up with that so why am I so bothered now? Just cos there are guys? Stupid Suzume. Remember, you dress for yourself, not for others. Ah yes, thanks for the reminder. (: If I were rich enough, I would've gone to school as a full loli. But lol, I'm not. =33= Anyway, who cares if I'm dressed weirdly? Who cares about what guys think? Don't you think that this way I can erase those playboys away? XD Chase away those that only love you for your appearance. :D

I'm so weird.

Jes you may want to show this article to your mum's friend. (:

Junk food is killing pet cats and dogs

Apr 6, 2010

PARIS - THE junk food and poor eating habits affecting humans is also killing their four-legged pals, say veterinary surgeons and experts.


Pet owners tend to favour processed foods because of the difficulty of preparing nutritionally balanced meals, which in an ideal world should contain some 50 nutrients as well as meat, vegetables, rice and pasta. -- PHOTO: AFP

Allergies and obesity are reducing the life expectancy of Lassies and Mittens nourished worldwide on industrial foodstuffs, said Gerard Lippert, a Belgian acupuncturist for animals who has just completed a study on the diets of 600 dead dogs.

'Pets, like humans, are victims of junk food,' he told AFP.

Of the 600 furry corpses he examined 'those fed on processed foods died three years earlier than those fed on food made in the home.'

Dogs, he added, 'originally were omnivores who shared their food with humans.'

Rippert said he was increasingly called on to heal skin, motor and digestive problems as acupuncture was an all-embracing method enabling work on practically all organs.

'Dry dog food and cat food croquettes are over-heated, which destroys vitamins, trace elements and other basic nutritional elements,' he said.

'We don't know the origin of the proteins in the foods,' he added. 'And there's an excessive amount of cereal, often genetically modified, and very little vegetables.'

'We're turning our dogs and cats into ruminants, he said.

Laurence Colliard, a veterinary surgeon and nutritionist located in the Paris suburbs, estimates that only five percent of French pet-owners cook food for their four-legged companions.

France is Europe's top pet nation - with 7.8 million dogs and 10.7 million cats, according to a 2008 study by the Sofres/Facco polling institute.

'I'm seeing an increasing number of allergies, diarrhea, vomitting, skin dermatitis as well as cases of obesity, specially amid cats because of the excessively high energy content in industrially-produced cat foods,' said Colliard.

Pet owners tend to favour processed foods because of the difficulty of preparing nutritionally balanced meals, which in an ideal world should contain some 50 nutrients as well as meat, vegetables, rice and pasta. An animal's age, weight and exercise routine also need to be taken into account.

The packs on offer on supermarket shelves also claim as a bonus to reduce nasty urine smells and modify the consistency of animal poop.

The pet food industry was born in England where James Spratt produced the world's first dog biscuits in 1860.

Some 150 years later, many Internet sites are calling for a return to natural foods for pets.

BARF or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food is a type of pet diet that consists of 'raw meat, bones, and organs,' says www.barf.com.

'It is the practice of feeding domestic pets their evolutionary diet as a way of maximizing their health and longevity.'

'Dogs should not eat cooked or processed food,' it adds. 'Instead, your pet should consume foods that are similar to a dog's wild ancestors. This includes bones, fat, meat, and vegetable materials.'

'It's only in the last 100 years we have we been led to believe that dogs cannot survive without packaged food. We are told it would be harmful if we were to give them the scraps from our own home cooked meals. This is pure poppycock!' -- AFP

To all those who are feeding their dog purely on dry food, you may like to choose the following:
1. Continue doing so and let your dog live 3 years lesser than if would have lived.
2. Change its diet and have a much healthier and happier dog.

Why happier? How would YOU feel if you're fed the same thing everyday and you can't say anything about it? Even if it's just like the super yummylicious fast food, I bet you can't survive on macs for all your meals right?

Make the right choice.

Hi all, I didn't go to Mdm Wong's shelter today. Went to collect money from buyer instead and went to nai's house to visit her while the guys in the house went to cut their grassy hair. (:

Anyway, I'm planning to change my blogskin! But I can't decide between 2 designs. ): So can you guys help me out? (: I'll put the links to the preview of the blogskins here and you can vote via my tagboard! :D

Lol I started off wanting to search for a more hime-ish kind of blogskin but the 2nd one really caught my attention so I'm kinda caught inbetween. :s Please help!! Thank you! :D

Otanjoubi Omedetou Ruru-nekohime-chama! ^_^

Warning: super long post

I went to volunteer at Mdm Wong's shelter! :D I didn't really help much though haha. XD Most of the time was spent talking about the shelter and animal welfare. Played with the cats (who were mostly sneezing and caughing D:) and the big dogs. I can only remember the names of some of them... Ah lian (the alpha-wannabe dog), was it Temple (?), etto... Hyper... and from the other side there are... Carpark, Lady, Gaga, Poker, Face (SUPER EASY TO RMB LOL). Face is the judge character I think and I can't rmb which is the alpha wannabe on that side. PHAIL. There are many other dogs but I can't rmb their names/their names werent told to me. XD

I don't even know the name of my favourite one!! D: I shall ask the next time I'm there. (: He (I think!) is black with a little white on his chest and a few strand of white hair on his paws. XD He's kinda timid and still has his puppy look! Simply adorable~

Hahaha. Helped with the shredding of the chickens for their dinner. Mdm Wong tried giving some shredded chickens to the 1mth old puppies and they ate it! TWO plates summore! Super pups. XD Lol they are damn cute, can't even stand properly, chubby... one even has dark blue eyes! Damn nice! At 1 mth old, they are already partially paper trained! Super smart right!! Such cuties...

Helped with the mixing of rice + chicken + pumpkin for the big dogs. I didn't know dogs can eat chicken neck. XD I thought they can't even all sorts of chicken bone. But it seems like according to them, since they are big dogs, it doesn't really matter. As long as the huge bones are discarded. (:

Oh I made a new friend! Her name is Liting. ^_^ She just started volunteering there. She's a year younger than me. :D The superest thing about her is that she lives in JURONG!! The shelter is at PASIR RIS!! Super extreme to the super extreme! Dedicated animal lover. Pei fu pei fu...

Should I go there this sat? Maybe I will... See first bah. Anyone wants to go? :D

Anyway... 5pm came quickly and I had to leave for the Life concert at sajc. ): The concert was something not for me, really. I'm firm on what I believe. I do believe in god, but what the concert was shouting out was that if I do not join Christianity or whatever, god cannot love me and I'll remain "lost", which is the theme of the concert. Sorry to all Christians out there but to me, that's bullshit. ;x

If god is really almighty and loving and forgiving, then he would love everyone (his 'children') unconditionally right? Then why must we believe in him/join Christianity in order for him to love us and bless us? Even if one does not believe in him, he should 'forgive' that person and still love him right? There was one girl who talked about her path in Christianity and she makes it sound like if she neglects god, unfortunate comes her way and once she seeks for forgiveness from god, everything goes well already. Zzz, seriously, what bullshit is that.

I respect god, I really do. I believe he's there to lead me, guide me to my future. What is worshiping, exactly? I see no need in hardcore worshiping... We seek for help, we get our help, we thank in return. I understand that why people want to worship though. After all, he is the one that created us and gave us life. And this brings me to another topic.

As I stood in the air-conditioned, nicely equipped theater place with fancy lights, the dogs and cats at the shelter flashed past my mind. I stood there deep in my thoughts... I thought... People can spend millions of dollars on these, to get people to join in with the worshiping of god. Yet, they cant even give a portion of that to the fellow living things on earth which share the same air we breathe, the same water we drink, the same sunshine we live under.

God did not create humans only. The huge theater place was so freakin' huge. If just the STAGE alone was given to the dogs, so many lives could be saved. Yet they used it to psycho people to join in the hardcore worshiping. Humans are so... selfish. People, do you feel ashamed to be humans at times? I do. We are the stupid ones destroying the Earth we live on, we are the evil ones bringing harm to EACH OTHER and OTHERS, we are the selfish ones who keep wanting more and not willing to give...

Btw, to those who are Christians, please do not take this personally. I admit, my post is kinda stereotypical but it's just my own opinions, my thoughts, my way of thinking. Be FORGIVING and don't kill me. TYVM.

Hais...

Anyway after the concert it ended super late, like 9pm +++++. I was getting a bit of gastric already. Waited for Beatrice and in the end she walked off with a bunch of her friends. There are a few possibilities that might have happened, but I choose to believe in the more positive ones:
1. She didn't see us. (she might have thought we went off without her)
2. She thought we were at the locker place (which we WERE)

But what I was kinda irritated was that she didn't tell me beforehand we were gonna eat with a bunch of her friends. I'm an introvert so I don't like it when you suddenly tell me I have to eat dinner (which I have been anticipating for a very long time) with a bunch of people I don't know. I was looking forward to a nice dinner with people I know (I don't mind a few new strangers but 8 of them is far too many) and catch up with each other.

I think Jac was kinda uncomfortable too so both of us went to macs to eat while they ate at the coffeeshop. Thank God Jac was there. If not I would have cried inside my heart. Love you Jac! :D Hahaha. I've been seeing Jac quite frequently these 2wks. XD We're gonna see each other again when we collect our certs! (: Actually I feel quite bad to ask her to go for the concert... Cos she wasn't comfortable with it too. ): Sorry Jac!

Phew~ I'm finally done with my post! XD Hahaha. Okay tmr going out with Claudia (my pri school friend). Will talk about it tmr (or more like later, considering the time).

Amen.
