i'm finally back blogging

Hey guys,

its me again. I'm back!
so long has gone by since i last updated anything..doubt anyone would still have d patience to read this.
alot has happened since my last entry. Problem is that everytime i wanna blog, i don't have d time n d things juz fly past so quickly that i don't have d chance to write about them. and when i Do have d time, i juz don't feel like it.
pretty weird huh..

For those who don't noe, i've been accepted into d Bachelors Speech n Language therapy course in Massey University. Its hard work i tell u. We have 8 papers this year, 4 in each semester and an xam at d end of each semester. Its quite stressful actually as d 3rd day after lectures had started i already started mugging/studying.

U may ask, what do i learn? I learn d anatomy n physiology of the human body (preferably d brain, ears, respiratory system n mouth), the different types of communication disorders, linguistics and the maori culture (don't ask me why i haf to learn that...its a must.). I have anatomy physiology test EVERY monday n recently i had a test for each of my papers thru out d whole week PLUS assignments n reports to write after d easter holidays. man..
smtimes i'm really sick of studying but actually i honestly love my course n wat i'm doing now.

There are currently 20 pple in my course since its so specialised and i'm d only asian. haha. at first i really hated it but i finally managed to make frens wif d angmohs. They're actually pretty nice pple.
My seniors in 2nd yr tell me that its gonna get more stressful as u go higher n higher, n currently only 50% graduate at d end of 4 yrs cos they juz can't take d stress. i'm hoping that it won't be like that. anyhow, its d only thing i love doing, my aim in life so i have hook or by crook to graduate wif a BSLT.

I'm also living in the massey accommodation which is lucas creek village. Its kinda like a bungalow aka house where they slot u wif random pple. i didn't get to choose my flatmates. so currently i'm rooming in wif 6 guys and 1 girl. heh. when i first moved in it was 6 guys n juz me. kinda weird. Oddly i didn't really miss my parnts at all cos i see them every weekend but still i expected to be homesick. haha.
got to see d kiwi culture too...BINGE drinking. d guys r alright...they're fun smtimes but they're really unhygienic (ughh!) and they LOVE drinking alot. i reckon they drink too much for their own good since a few of my flatmates came back home tipsy n DRUNK to d core.. one even fell face down onto d table RIGHT in front of my face. They can drink like 10 cans of beer + vodka n not get drunk. that's juz crazy.
n they love to get me to drink too..heh! obviously i say no though i tried sm alcohol n felt so hot n red i didn't want anymore. anyway alcohol tastes disgusting. by d way all d guys in my flat r white except for 2 asians, 1 frm china n d other frm korea. no singaporeans no malaysians. sad.
smtimes they can be highly annoying too, which irritates d hell out of me. They have a new nick name for me n its LORZ or LOZ. gosh. HEY LORZ, WASSUP, hey LORZ, how's it going?? LORZ, get that for me won't u?? SWEET ASS.. sigh. that's exactly how kiwis talk.
n they use ALOT of vulgarities..man..if i thought d j1 guys in SG were bad? think again. I try to stop them frm saying it but its like WATER coming out of their mouths...non stop forever flowing.
Worse part is that they don't believe in God, they hate God n they think d bible is a whole load of bullshit even though i try to convince them otherwise. they believe in science cos there's proof n evolution. we always have heated debates about those.

Anyway when i have free time i watch anime, movies, tv series on my laptop wif d girl in my flat called kristen. Its really fun juz watching stuff instead of partying. And guess wat?? i'm FINALLY for d first time of my life, going regularly to d uni GYM. it only costs 120 bucks for a WHOLE year n massey's gym is SO COOl. they haf tvs up there for u to watch stuff when ur jogging on d treadmill. plus d gym instructors came up wif a programme to help me stay fit. I guess d main reason why i decided to go to d gym was to get active n pump my cardiomuscles so that i won't collapse on d floor wif a heart attack. main aim is to tone up n stay healthy. i go twice a week or i TRY to go twice a week. haha.though hafn't been at all last week since i'm SO SO bz.

Well enough info for u guys today.

Shall try to update more often k??

stay happy always. :)

Which uni should i go to??

Hey guys,

as u noe i've finally gone back to nz. left s'pore on d 31st jan.

to all d pple whom i haf met up, i had such a great time wif u!!
to those whom i couldn't, i'm really sorry! we WILL catch up d nxt time i come back.

so sorry for not updating my blog while in S'pore. There were alot of things to blog about but i didn't haf internet access in d house i was staying (so ironic right...).
For those who don't noe, i did a 1 month attachment in d speech pathology centre for kids in tanglin mall. I had to do it EVERYDAY frm 9am to 12 noon for about a month without getting paid. Its volunteery work u see...so i can build up my credentials..haha.
i kept telling myself to think long term. But overall it was very rewarding n also very tiring!!
I will elaborate more on d nxt entry (if i ever get d time to blog).

Since i've gotten back, i've been unpacking (there's LOTs of stuff to unpack) and thinking about my university entrance...which uni i should go to.

I got accepted into d 3 unis i applied to which is Auckland uni, Massey uni and Canterbury uni. Auckland u is apparently d top uni but i declined it as it didn't contain d course that i wanted.
My aim is to get into the Speech and Language therapy course which is some highly competitive professional degree thingy...
don't even ask why i chose that...its juz smth i wanted.

well thank God n Praise God that i did really well for my national xams last yr. i thought i was gonna do like SO badly..hahaa..

so when i came back to nz, d professer frm massey uni called me up for an interview so i went down to massey campus located at albany, northshore in auckland (super far i tell u..)
interview went really well..thank God too for my attachment in s'pore or else i would not haf been able to answer most questions she asked eg. wat r most children wif speech problems diagnosed wif?? ahhaha...

okay..so when d professor said that massey only accepts 25 students into d 1st yr..i was like...25?!?!?! that's like so few. but all they haf to do is to pass all their papers in their 1st yr to get into d 2nd yr n so forth. so its relatively alright.

university of canterbury accepted me too. this time its 90 spots for d 1st yr but they'll cut 2/3 out n only 30 pple can advance to 2nd yr. if i go there i haf to at least get a B+ average n get pass d interview. man....

so i'm like..okay, i'll probably go to canterbury since its free entry into d 1st yr cos i don't think i can make it into massey's top 25.

wrong.

to make matters worse...I GOT IN.
d letter came one morning saying, CONGRATULATIONS, u've been accepted into massey's speech n language therapy course!
i'm like..great....now i don't noe which one to go to, massey or canterbury.

i had to sit down wif my parnts for like 3 hrs n discuss wif them d pros n cons about each uni.
good thing about massey is that its ezier to get into d 2nd yr and its nearer to home (in auckland too!) but canterbury has a great campus life plus nice scenery which i look forward too!

i've decided that if i can't get a good accommodation for massey (its 2hrs drive frm there to my place wif d traffic jams so that's why i haf to live there) then i'll choose canterbury.
but there's this nagging thought... wat IF i can't get into d top 30 in canterbury???? if that's d case i haf to go back to auckland n go to auckland uni to do a bachelors in COMMERCE..econs..which i HATE to do. i'm already gonna do 2 econs papers in canterbury for safety precautions.

last night i had a dream that i went to canterbury...weirdest part was it didn't look like it at all...
but i met so many s'poreans there n most of them were frm mg...which also didn't make any sense at all.
maybe its a sign frm God that i should go there.

but i really really don't noe. i hope i won't regret my decision.

the future looks frightfully daunting.

if i go to canterbury, i'll live in a hall n be all alone without my family..smth i noe alot of us haf never been thru..n i'm scared. scared that i won't get into d course n scared that i'll lose my SACRED possesions like my contact lenses n various gadgets.
afraid that i'll forget to lock my dorm door n be a victim to theft. SIGH!.

anyway if ur reading this, pls say a little prayer for me that i'll noe which decision to make. cos right now i can't decide btwn massey or canterbury. n i don't wanna do BCOM!!! argh..

will update u guys on which uni i'll choose!

till then.

PS: d hall residence toilets in canterbury is Co-ed. SO AWFUL! don't they haf any sense to build a girls toilet n guys toilet separately?!?! imagine bathing nxt to a guy n only be separated by a partition *shudders.......*

i'm FINALLY back in Singapore!

hello everyone who's reading this.

i'm NOT gonna change blog cos guess wat??? the tagboard's WORKING!! finally...after like 2 months. haha.

i touched down in Singapore on d 7th dec.
sat on SQ flight for like 10 hrs...thank goodness i had an aisle seat plus nxt to d toilet! haha..only inconvenience was that this angmoh couple kept going to d toilet so i had to keep crossing my legs on d arm rest n try to balance a cup of water on my lap...its quite hard. haha.

all in all i was DAMN HAPPY to be home lah...
it was so comforting to see d twinkling lights of S'pore as d plane touched down. :)

i haf almost been here for a month. currently staying in simei wif my aunt.
however things in S'pore were not wat i expected it to be.
like for d first few weeks i couldn't use d com...don't ask me why. some things are better left unexplained. things were so restrictive living in other pple's home that i finally realised my mum's words that there is no place like home. She also told me s'pore won't b d same cos we won't haf our own home anymore. At first i was like yeahyeah..like it matters...but now i really understand wat that meant.

anyway i haf been meeting up wif frens since i came back. its been fun on a whole but i sense that i've drifted away frm some of them...most coming frm cj. like u noe their not opening up to u..n there r times where its rather awkward. its really sad n disappointing. ironically when it comes to my mg frens we can juz talk n pick up where we left off more than a year ago. i thought it would be d other way around. i finally realised that i made cj alot bigger n better in my mind back in nz then it actually is. still when i see a cjian on d streets i get really excited...dunno why...i'm so weird. n everytime i see jc pple i get so nostalgic..cos jc was d most fun part of my life even though it was juz for a yr. wish i could go back to it, to that EXACT time but that's impossible. pple change n pple move on.

overall coming back to sg was not wat i expected..it was not as grand n exciting as i thought it would be.
BUT. i don't Miss nz AT ALL so at least that's a good thing.

will be going back to nz on d 31st jan.
i've already decided that i'm going to d university of canterbury, christchurch, nz to do bachelors in speech n language therapy (BSLT). its free entry in d 1st year but only 30 pple get in, into d 2nd yr to continue d degree. its a big risk i'm taking but i believe that that's where i ought to go. if God willing then i'll get into d 2nd yr.
i'm gonna be all alone wif out my parnts...so scary right. sigh. i'll probably regret it at first i noe it!...but i think i need to go there to grow up into a real adult. cos only grown ups take adults seriously...not teens nor kids.

uni will commence on d 18th feb but i'll prob haf to go down earlier to get used to hall life.
this is like d biggest decision i've made so far...really hope it turns out fine..

The tagboard isn't working

Hello people.

The tagboard for some apparent reason is NOT working.
and it seems to be the same for everyone's blogspot..
so i might consider changing to another blog...which is NOT blogspot cos blogspot sucks...

i will not blogging for a while bcos NCEA xams are coming.

For those in my T9 and cj frens, all d best for As!!! (i noe ur As haf started, and it'll end on d day my xams start).

I shall be coming back in 6 wks time on d 7th dec!!! so i shall see u guys in s'pore!! i can't wait! haha...

k then. God BLESS!

another definition of holiday is break to STUDY.

holidays are almost over.
they started 2 weeks ago.
today is the last day of holiday.
this round of hols sucked man..
had to catch up on sch work which i'm v. far behind. Why?
1. cos i've been slacking quite a bit thru d whole yr
2. cos d teachers in my sch SUCK big time. well most of them at least.
3. there r so much things to learn.
plus i got sick several times in d hols. had fever, cold n cough. n i'm telling u i don't get sick easily.

d hols had some of its highlights though. esther came to stay in my house for a slp over! n we went to dress mart...a shopping mall i wanted to go so much! but unfortunately i didn't buy any clothes cos i notice that nz fashion is v. skanky n low cut...so yes..i'm a v. conservative person. even my mum wants me to wear those low cut stuff okay! n i'm juz like NO WAY. n she goes on about how old fashion i am..like a country bumpkin. -_-'.

sch is in 2 days time. i'm NOT looking forward to it.
but then again its juz 4 more weeks b4 term 4 ends! then exam comes so NO sch! YAY! d final day of sch b4 xams start is nov 10 (my 18th birthday! *hint hint*) so its great.

i'm seriously considering being an anti social once sch starts. that means going up to d correspondence room to study every lunch period (which i think i can't) n juz being a typical asian in nz (studying every min of sch)... bcos i haf SO much to study before mocks which is not funny.

sometimes i wonder why God put me in elim.
if it was to fulfill some purpose of his, then i don't really get it. cos basically i'm not gonna miss anyone in elim except for a few frens whom i can count wif my fingers on 1 hand. sad.

there r times where i feel v. lonely. sg frens r so far away n i don't haf any gd frens here. seems really sucky eh.

i'm juz gonna tell myself once 30 nov goes by i'm FREE. well nov 10 i'll be rid of d normal routines of sch life. so there.

was also looking at my testimonials on friendster...n reminiscing about d past esp last yr. Its quite sad how pple who were once ur gd frens now don't speak to u anymore or r not in contact wif. pple always say 'frens forever!' but how far is that phrase true??? cos more often than not its not really true.
pple forget u or lose touch wif u. pple move on. u move on. u fight wif pple and that's it.

the end of the story.

what has been happening to me

Hey peeps!

its d SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!! that means hard core mugging begins! there's so much to study ok...gosh..i haf loads to catch up.
anyway u may be asking wat has happened to me for d past er..3 wks? yeah 3 wks.
well for one, i went to esther's 18th party at her home! This is d first time i've actually been to a 18th party...n i tell u her decorations were SO nicee!! haha..d theme was paris 1900, moulin rouge but i didn't dress up to that of course...i was wearing my ever faithful jeans and a top. haha.
And there was alcohol too. Vodka, kahlua n baileys..blahblahblah.. normally i hate d taste of alcohol but vanessa (her sister) mixed like marinda orange n vodka..it was SO nice! i tell u i couldn't stop drinking ok. which was kinda bad. i tried lots of concoctions of vanessa's..heh..this included white irish bailey (which was quite gross)...sprite wif vodka..haha..
n in d end i had like 5 glasses of concoctions consisting of alcohol. MAN! i felt so flushed n hot...it was so weird...n my face was like totally red. i heard that asians get red when they drink...smth to do wif their genes. ANYWAY my body felt so hot...but i didn't get drunk or anything (cos that would haf been dumb)..so anyway i stopped...haha.. i bet u guys r like LAUREEN DRANK ALCOHOL?!?!? hahaha...!!!! yes i did. n it was nice...only wif d marinda orange!
n i also met so many pple there..made so many frens but i still hafn't gotten down to adding them on msn..heh..so lazy.

anyway a few days ago i happened to look thru all my old photographs...brings back so many memories... i saw one of me when i was 7 during this church meeting TGIF thank God its Friday. n everyone was playing ice breakers. n i saw lerhern in there too! hahaha! it was so funny. but i haf changed alot but he hasn't. heh!
was also looking at my parnts fotos b4 i was born n when they juz got married...like in d 80s...d hair styles back then were horrible..gosh.. our hair styles right now look so much BETTER! heh..

n yesterday went to my sch's performing arts show...d singing was quite good n stuff...but i've seen better.
felt really sian n pissed after coming back home... sian: i dunno why. Pissed: i shall not talk about it.

i'm trying right now to upload photos on blogger n its seriously taking SO long. extremely irritating.
u can go see my photos on friendster cos blogger is kinda screwed up right now.

sigh..hols r not hols, hols are breaks to study more.

Note: pple i am coming back on d 7th dec,flight SQ, 2.30pm NZ time, arriving in SG at 8.30 SG time. i will catch up wif u all!! juz give me a call or email k??? i can't wait!
