WELCOME TO 1ST DEC 2006 The time of the year is approaching. My favourite moment every year. Its gonna be Christmas everybody! The most anticipated festival is just round the corner. I love Christmas. I love it even more that CNY. The novelty of receiving Red packets has long gone away. I prefer celebrating Christmas (though I'm not a christian) but its so cool to see the light ups in Orchard. I love watching those Christmas movies and cartoons on TV. Its so heartwarming. I love trying to decorate the house with all the christmasy things that I can find. Receiving christmas cards from friends, flipping through tons of Christmas catalogues and getting excited over them... Nothing beats the festive food!! Ginger-breadman and log cakes are some of the must-have items on my list. Cookies too. I missed those days when my family and I would go to Orchard to see the decorations. It seemed like a long time ago. Nowadays I would just wake up in the morning, watch TV programmes, and lead the day normally. Perhaps just to gobble down some cakes and stuff. We are so busy with our stuff now. Sigh, the memories. As for CNY, my family would always go to Ang Mo Kio to visit my relatives as most of them lives in AMK. We would visit the same houses every year. Maybe in different orders. It is great to see my relatives but we only see each other once a year. I feel so strange with their presence near me. It feels as if they are related to me but not quite. I don't have that bond with them, and I think that its a pity as we are all interlinked in the same family tree. My mom is sort of outcast by her siblings and I know why my uncles and aunties choose to ignore her. I know my mom's character. I still think its not right of them as they never take into consideration that they have my siblings and I as their nieces and nephew. I am dreading CNY next year as I will be having my exams during the festive period, and therefore lesson my anticipation of CNY. Bloody hell. I had my minor tests on wed and I totally screwed it up. Had dance practice as usual and I was dead beat at the end of the prac. We had to rehearse for today's Alumni Night. It was very last minute as I was notified 4 days before the event. Peter was very pissed with the person in-charge of this event as we were notified at the last minute. Once again, Peter displayed his high expectations of the committee and I was quite scared. Really. During prac Peter drilled the girls who will be performing "Get it out me" continuously and I could see that everyone of them were very tired. I am very proud that they did very well in their prac despite being so tired and I am looking forward to see them performing the item on stage. Its gonna be so cool! Tuesday, November 28, 2006

BLURRED VISION It felt weird to be home so early on a Tuesday night. I did not go for Dance prac as I have to study for econs and stats tests tomorrow. You might be wondering why am I blogging now instead of studying. I'm tired already la!!! Cannot see my post title meh?! Headache and flu ah...!!!! Gosh, I am so agitated, probably because my period's coming. I was so tired that I slept after dinner, and was woken up by my sister hollering at me to wake up and study. I had no choice but to drag myself to the table and sit down in front of the books of knowledge. I seriously hope that I will disappear from this Earth between 9am to 11am tomorrow and get back As for the two tests. That'll be great. Speaking of grades, I got A for my accounting test. I am happy but I know that I will bomb my exams. I always do. My tests results are always good or great but when it comes to exams, I seriously can't study so much at one go. How I wish that we will have ICAs all the way, but still, it is NYP's policy. The school's Humanlink called me and clarified with me about my bank statements. Somehow their clarifications made me have higher hopes of the employment. I applied for a job as a lab assistant in SBM and I am hoping to get the job to earn money to fund my further education. I had statistics lecture today and I was quite entertained by all the laughter. But I was quite perturbed by the fact that HuiQi's laughter was so contagious that it affected Liyi, who was sitting about 7 metres away!! The shear force of HuiQi's laughter!!

BACK TO ONE WEEK OF NOTHING-SPECIALNESS I love the rain. Truly do. Especially when it rains at night. Its just so beautiful and peaceful and serene. Why am I being so melancholic here? I guess it is my welcome-to-a-boring-week-again behavior. This week kicked of with a really fabulous *ahem* lesson of Principles of Management aka POM!! (Because my grades will just POM!! downwards) and it was succeeded by another fabulous lesson of Writing skills. Gals, you know what I mean. *Winks* Accounting lecture ended 27/11/06 and I reached home just in time to witness a war between my brother and mother. Relac la, Pa wants to sleep leh. I am having two minor tests this wednesday, which means I can't go for dance on tuesday. I have to bury my head in the books and will try to absorb as much as possible. "Minor" does not mean "heck lar!" so I still got to get my 5% for statistics and 15% for my econs. I am glad that everyone's asleep, and that means I can type my blog peacefully and do my homework without any disturbance. Lady Ruby! Liyi and I told another of our friend about the cauliflower thing. She laughed very hard too. I am craving for french fries, though I already had fries for my lunch and dinner, not to mention cute little hash browns. I love potatoes! Great tasting potatoes!! Not that potato at AMKSS please. The gang and I are planning to go Seoul Garden sometime in December, after Liyi and I get our pay. I can't wait for gals night/day out again(Plus Jimmy, if he wants to go)! Its so nice to go out with the gals, really enjoy it. And playing pool too! Sometimes I just wish our term break is here, and I can reaaly take the time off to go out with the gals, and Lady Ruby and Mich. Lady Ruby!! 2 more months and we can have our booze partay( Mich, if you want u can join us *wink*)! I hope that I will not break down from stress, thank god for all the girly talks, really makes me feel relax. But those girly talks somewhat makes me feel a little depressed. :( I am so despo now!!!! Ah!!!!! Saturday, November 25, 2006

""""DIRRRTY BABE"""" Saturday--- A day for me to lounge around at home. But not really, I'm meeting HuiQi in a few hours time for our Accounting project. I have a pimple at the inside of my elbow. I had unwittingly pressed on it and the result was that I yelped in pain for one minute. Please pop, u popper!! Oh no, it really popped. I am not looking forward to this weekend as I have to study for my 2 tests as well as complete all my tutorials. Damn. I am behind on my homework as laziness plus tutors no-show made me close the stupid lecture notes. I wanna go on a break! Argh! I managed to find Bond's Quixote for my SA assessment 3, the self-choreo part. Pretty excited about it but I am afraid I am too shy to dance it out. Its gonna be a contemporary dance which is a bit out of place in SA Dance. Hm.... Been thinking of the choreo for days and nights, thinkng till i'm going bonkers. I think i have an idea of what to do.. I've done my research. :) I've researched on the meaning of the song title: Qui‧xo‧te: an enthusiastic but impractical and idealistic person; I have no idea what is the actual meaning of Quixote, what language it is, and how to pronounce it. All I know is, its a great song. Ha.. I shall start clearing my homework now. Wednesday, November 22, 2006

STEP UP I finally went to watch Step Up with Lina, Nad, Liyi, Huiqi and Hazel. We watched it at Junction 8 and were given very weird sitting arrangements. While we were waiting for Lina to purchased the tickets, I saw Mr Tan and Mrs Tan, both from AMKSS. I was pretty surprised that Mr Tan still remembered me as he taught me in Sec 1 only. We chatted for a while and parted. The gals and I then wandered around J8 to kill time, and we went to check out Haagen Dazs. They’ve a new flavour- Cookies and Chocolate ice cream! I have yet to try the melon flavoured ice cream and midnight cookies and cream. We gals went to basement to buy snacks for the movie and then proceeded to the theatre. I liked the type of dance featured in Step Up. A fusion of Hip Hop and ballet. It was pretty interesting but it was demoralizing for me as I kept comparing my dance to theirs. Their energy level were commendable, however the movie was quite short. Liyi and I took the train home and I reached home just in time to collapsed onto my bed for a while. I had fishball noodles for dinner and I polished off a whole bowl of it I am going to study soon, alas, the life of a student….. Tuesday, November 21, 2006

MYOJO CONGEE TASTES GREAT! I am eating Myojo Instant Rice Porridge Duck Flavor and it tastes really good! Although I can still taste the MSG, the flavour is still strong enough to make me overlook the harmful contents of instant meals. The congee tastes great with the preserved lettuce and I can't wait to try other flavors. Just came home after SA Dance tonight. I am so frustrated that I can't do right split! Left a few centimetres between my *ahem* and the ground. I have totally given up on my left side. It bloody hurts. Peter was exceptionally strict with us yesterday. We did stretching, pirouettes, battements, across the floor and choreo. I felt totally knackered at the end of the lesson(as usual) and my mood did not improved when Peter said he will give us more steps in the future, plus we have to choreo ourselves for the next assessment. I am really glad the SA Dance has improved as a whole but that means I can't find a reason to slack. Sometimes I wish to slack but Peter has high expectations of me(cuz I have dance background, dammit) so I've got to live up to his expectations. Sometimes I also wish to take a backseat and slack somewhere at the dark corner of the studio but somehow I couldn't bring myself to do it. I am pretty shy when it comes to those sexy dance so I devoted my attention to getting the steps right. As Peter said, "its all due to your own mindset". How true. I had a really fun time in Stats tutorial yesterday and Huiqi provided the entertainment. People who know will know what am I talking about. It was fun but tiring at the same time as I had to control my laughter and try hard not to look to my right. I am looking forward to today as I will be hanging out with my favourite friends.

WHY I BLOG ALMOST EVERYDAY I know that my everyday life is not interesting (judging from my boring posts) but I know that I won't post regularly in the future. So I shall try to post as much as I can now! I used to have negative impressions on bloggers. I kept thinkng, "Why would anyone wants to display his/ her personal stuff online? Are they some kind of attention-seeking whores?" It was after reading some of my friends blog did I realised that blogging IS fun. The posts are creative and I really get to know what my friends are thinking and all sorts of stuff. I am very surprised that many of my friends are so good in designing their blogs! I am glad for this enlightenment and I am sorry to bloggers for thinking of them that way then. My mom always nags at me and asks me why do I keep going for SA practices at night? She is very concern that my twice a week committments will have an impact on my studies. But she does not know that I am already keeping my comittments to SA as minimum as I can already. I don't go for any SA outings, I don't come back to school on Saturdays for Ballroom dancing practices. Nearly half a year has past and I still don't feel very bonded with the SA people. When Liyi and I were working at Haagen Dazs, we often had discussions about whether to quit SA or HD. We quit the latter, of course. Sometimes I feel like giving up SA Dance but I know that many people, including myself, will be very disappointed. Quitting SA would means that I will be concentrating on my studies 100%. I take my studies very seriously but I think the 100% committment will make me go bonkers. I have planned to quit SA in Year 2 if I really cannot cope but there are just so many performances coming up. The fact that I have not bond very well with the SA people does not motivate me to continue SA. How sad. :(

PERFORMANCE DAY AT BISHAN PARK I had dance performance at Bishan park today and did many explorations with my Nokia 6233! Photos here: ![]() Sherry, me and Melvin ![]() Me and Peter!! ![]() Julian and I! He looks like Mr Aubury Ong. ![]() Me and Zelia. She's damn cute! ![]() Huini, Joycelyn and I ![]() Me and Rene! ![]() Huini and I ![]() Me and Pris! We looked so romantic together! I enjoyed the performance very much and was glad that Lina and Nadia took time off to support me Liyi and Hazel. Thanks gals! We then went to Bishan Junction 8 to eat at Long John's. Hazel, Liyi and I managed to patch up and we become friends again. I love today. Its a very nice day. Saturday, November 18, 2006

FLUFLU It was a less tiring day today as I went to bed at midnight, earlier than the previous days (which means I did not do my tutorials). However, I would have been more alert today without the dreaded flu and contact lens. I went for my dance rehearsal at Bishan Park today. Hated the environment as I hate hate hate parks. I love the surroundings but I hate insects. *shudders* It was boiling went we arrived at the performance area and I sincerely wished that we would be performing at an indoor auditorium. I may sound like I'm high maintenance but I am very sensitive to my surroundings. I was sweaty and smelly and itchy when rehearsal was over. I made a quick escape from the park with Liyi, Beiyi, Huini and Hazel and we took a bus to Ang Mo Kio. We bought bunches of grapes from an illegal fruits stall along the pathway towards AMK station(all started by Lady Liyi). Liyi, Huini, Treasa(whom we met at the station), Ervinna(whom we met at the platform) and I took the train home. It was great to have Huini around as she really entertained us. I went to Causeway Point to look for a plain white top. I found it at U2 and bought the same one for Liyi too. I went home, as that was about it. End of story. Friday, November 17, 2006

TIRED... AGAIN. I reached home about 6pm today and had a quiet dinner by myself at the dining table. Pa and Ma invaded my peace not long after when they came home from work. This is another tired day for me and I am dying to crash out and go to sleep on my comfy bed. Sorry if there are any typo errors as my eyes are bleary from peering at the keyboard and screen. I had a 2 hour lecture with Mr Martin Hang and I ended up drawing a nice little flower on my notes towards the end of the lecture. I am in deep sh!t as I did not pay close attention to the lecture. I dislike those theory modules as I do not have a good memory. This are the grades which I got for last semester, both theory modules: Principles of Marketing- C+ Principles of Accounting- C+ You got the point? I have a short memory span for studies and I hope I can get decent grades for my theory modules this semester. I won The Astounding Race 12 in the Games Arcade at RLCL and was very happy. I was extremely happy as it is not easy for me to win it due to my member number. The cash deposit machine at Ang Mo Kio swallowed my $40. I called 1800-111-1111 for the DBS Call Centre to get back my money. I was hoping to get sister but she's in the credit cards department, none of my business. I will be getting back my money tomorrow. Yay... I also can't wait to get my pay from Haagen Dazs. Thursday, November 16, 2006

Two days of hazy boredom I managed to complete my Stats tutorial after dance when I reached home. I also finished Econs MCQ Questions. Went to bed at 3 plus. I received my IT test result yesterday. I got an A!! Yay... Today's another typical boring day. I am waiting for Ms Vivien Lee's class. After that I'm going to study Econs while waiting for dance. Don't blame me for talking so much about studies, I am very stressed now! I study every single freaking night and when it is time to have a proper rest on weekends, my weekends are taken up by rehearsals and performances. Not that I'm complaining but I am really stressed up this week. Having flu. *sniff* I hurt my right under-thigh muscle while trying to do split, I think the pain gonna be permanent now, just like what happened to my left under-thigh muscles. Damn. Can't go to my sec 4 class gathering tmr. Have to complete all my tutorials as I will be very busy on saturday and sunday. Daph Wednesday, November 15, 2006

THE TIRED TUESDAY I reached home at 11 plus as usual, and went to bed at 2 plus as usual. But before I start on my agonising whinnings on 14/11/06, I ought to tell you about my wondeful Effective Writing Skills test on Monday. I would like to pat myself on the back and say "congratulations" to myself as I managed not to complete my test. Worse still, I signed my name at the end of the letter instead of the one given in the question paper. Great job, Daphne. Let's steer away from my disasterous Monday and talk about Tuesday. I only had Statistics lecture on Tuesday, so I was quite free yesterday. However, the lesson ended at 1pm, and Dance was scheduled to start at 6.30pm. Nadia, Lina, Liyi and I dined at North Canteen and we went to the Big Mac Centre at Ang Mo Kio to play pool. We walked from NYP to the Big Mac Centre. I kept telling Nadia and Liyi that we were reaching our destination soon. Psychology mah. We had so much fun playing pool, and only at $3.00 per person! We found a great shopping area which we promised to check it out next time. We had homemade ice cream too. Liyi, Nadia and I went back to school. We sent Nadia off on her Vespa and watched her "Vroom-ed" off. Liyi and I then proceeded to E.308 for Dance. After practicing for half an hour, we gave up and went to North Canteen to eat Yong Tau Foo. SA Dance began. I was not used to the carpeted floor at E.308 as there were a lot of friction when I did the Jazz-walk Pas de Bourree. We managed to impress trhe NEA people (or not) and we headed back to A.239. I lost my water bottle along the way. MY WATER BOTTLE!! DAMMIT!!! Could not really catch up with the Beyong Legend choreo, but still, I will TRY MY BEST. My dislike for that issue has intensified. Due to some idiots who catalysed it. I was in a foul mood during that period. WTF. Liyi had an issue which Huini told me about. Lady Ruby told me that Alex when to the Hospital. Maybe he ate too many cauliflower. Gah. Monday, November 13, 2006

NRA DID MADE NGEE ANN POLY PROUD Went to Ngee Ann Poly's NRA(New Revolving Age) dance concert last night. Forget to tell my Ma that I would be out at night, damn. Met up with Liyi at 5.50pm at Woodlands train platform, and took the train to Clementi. Reached Clementi at approx 6.25pm. Liyi and I joked that we might be the earliest, but we spotted a few seniors waiting already. So we waited, and more people came. StageArts people, DC people and I think I recognized a girl from the Ballroom dance. A big group gathered at Clementi station, so we had to escaped to grab a quick bite. Popped over to Mc.Donald's. Saw a big group of FB people eating at Mc.Donald's. Wow, so many NYPs and ex-NYPs and non-but-related-to-NYPs. The whole gang of us sat at the long table, and we were deeply amused by a very enthusiastic auntie. Had some serious conversation with Liyi which opened my eyes a little. Off to Ngee Ann Poly!!! Lady Ruby would be coming too, with her group of friends. Took the bus and reached NP. Pretty nice school, but it was so dark I could not really see much. I just know that the Cheers is located near the bus stop. There are lots of ups-and-downs along NP, and I was panting while trying to spot the auditorium. Reached the auditorium and met up with the rest of the StageArts people. Somehow their presence made me think deep(or whatever sh!t). Took a few photos with my fellow StageArts people, and saw Lady Ruby!!!! Yay... Was so happy... It was time to go into the auditorium. My seat was at the bloody corner. Thanks ah, really good view. But that means I can seat the way I like it! NRA was real good. Really good. Their dance was very energetic and really en eye-opener. But somehow, I found myself sinking into stupor as time went by. It was good, but it was too much. The emcees were really, er, entertaining. The audiences response were really, lukewarm. Therefore we did not spice up the mood of this concert. The concert ended near 11.30pm, and we made our way to the bus top. The presence of the whole gang of StageArts people made me feel the same way as I mentioned earlier again. Somehow they disappeared, and Liyi, Ruby, Alex and I took bus 61, which brought us to Bukit Batok. Had a really hilarious time with the three of us. Joked about Colonies of CauliFlowers and Star Wars!! Haha, sorry private joke. Even Alex got affected by our joke and we talked about it till I got off at Woodlands Station. Reached home. Bathe, ate cup noodles and attempted to study for today's test. Die.... Daph Sunday, November 12, 2006

A nice day of shopping Went shopping with sister yesterday at Bugis. Bought a lot of things!!! We went to a nice japanese restaurant and I ordered a some katsu bento set. Portion damn huge, couldnt finished it in the end. Sister paid for lunch. It was raining the whole day, so we got stuck in Bugis Junction. We went to the EDGE section(which is the teens section) and my sister complained that she looked very out of place there as she was no longer a teen. I spotted a pair of very nice purple shoes that costs only $9.90!! My sister encouraged me to buy it as it was nice and cheap, so I asked the sales asst for my saize. Turned out that they did not have the size, so I settled for the pink one, which is still very nice. Sister paid for it too. We continued walking and saw a StarHub shop. We stopped buy to get my Nokia 6233 and I paid $198 for it, which was reasonably priced. On to Seiyu!!! I bought a very nice pair of dark blue jeans from BUM Equipment and my sister paid for it too. so nice of her. We then went to City, to grab Ben&Jerry's ice cream at Raffles Cuty shoppong Centre, and for me to say hello to my manager at the Haagen Dazs outlet there... We then jalan at Suntec City and then stopped buy to buy my supplements. We went home in a cab. So my sister spent a lot on me yesterday. She only bought mouthwash for herself . How sad.

32-EIGHTHS OF DOOM.. Returned to the world of Neopets while waiting for Ms Vivien Lee to arrive. Had lunch with Michelle, Liyi and Ruby at the old North Canteen. Was so confused during today's Microecons lecture. I guess I'm slow.... But there'll be time to revise the lecture later while waiting for StageArts. Market Equilibruim. Argh...!!! I am going to die tonight. Tonight will be my death-day. DEATH DAY. RIP to Miss Daphne Phua(1989-2006). 32-eighths leh!!! Bloody hell... Have to get my bearings right. I hope I won't have any asthma attack.. :( I want my handphone, bag and sandals. I am going to rip Bugis Village apart on Saturday. I am going to conjure up a tornado and smash the whole of Bugis street into smithereens. I sound spastic and sadist but I WANT MY PHONE, BAG AND SANDALS!!!!!! But first... show me the money. Cannot wait to go out with Sister on Saturday.. We will be grabbing Haagen Dazs ice cream at Raffles City, renew my HP plan(cuz my plan is under her name), go to Bugis Village and grab my bag and sandals.

Intensive schoolwork equals boredom Had MS Word test yesterday, did very badly, bloody hell. Kind of relieved that I was not very stressed in StageArts yesterday. Choreo-based practice. Seniors gave us a pep-talk at the end of the practice, shall not go into details about it. Went out with Lady Ruby today. She crashed NYP! Yay… But only for lunch. Liyi and I went to PineDale to return the Haagen Dazs uniform and Ruby came along too. Passed by an Haagen Dazs outlet at Orchard and saw some familiar faces. Liyi went home and Ruby and I walked around in Orchard. Liked the golden tree decos in Orchard Road a lot. Ruby bought a very slim green wallet at the Death Note Cart and I bought eyeshadow. We went Pull&Bear at Ngee Ann City and saw some really nice clothes. I think I’m going to buy the button-blouse soon, either in purple or brown. Can’t wait to get my phone, yay....!!!!
