Wow, wow, wow!
2008 is coming to and end. Final day of 2008. How fast this year has past. I can still remember when we just started the first day of school and all the teachers were like listing down all their expectations about us and then we were all preparing for 'O' Levels and then taking MT 'O' Levels and getting MT 'O' Levels result and so many things have happened this year. From Cyclone Nargis to Sichuan Earthquake. From Beijing Olympic to China's Milk scandal. From the filing of bankruptcy by Lehman Brothers to Mr. Barack Obama being the first African-American president of the United States. What a year!

I'm glad 2008 has been a great year, as it is for me. Friendships restored, relationship reconciled. (I'm not talking about BGR.) Conquering of the many trials and tribulations that came in my way.

I'm sure 2009 will be another exciting year install for me. 'O' Levels results is likely to be release in 2weeks or so. Then I will decide what route I would have to take. I have no idea what to expect. So many What-ifs though. If I made, i would be in a totally new environment, different settings and most definitely I will meet new people. I will stand up to whatever that comes my way and lets usher in 2009 with great expectations! Set some new year resolutions and set your heart out to do it! I have already set some new year resolutions and am defintely going to try my best and accomplished it! Don't wait! Do it now!

I wish all of you guys a very Happy New Year!

ich wunsche dich einen Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!

Tschüß!

Hi guys!

Firstly, I must say, Twilight is extremely over-rated

It isn't as nice and as fantastic as many has said. I can't help but feel disappointed. The book was really predictable like when Bella said that she smelt Edward's scent and she was sure that scent is something that she cannot dream of. Immediately I knew Edward was by her side, and, Bingo, I got it right. And about the James faking that he had kidnapped Bella's mother. I knew that it was a prank and she will fall for it, and, Bingo again. And the climax, gosh, it was so short, and it ended so abruptly. I was like, what? Perhaps, opinions differ and my opinion is that Twilight isn't as fantastic as I thought it would be. It didn't live up to my expectations nor its reputation. Thats all I have to say. I will continue to read the sequel, but it isn't with a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement, but more of a what-the-author-has-to-say-about-it. I might have offended some twilight fans in this, but this is my opinions and remember, I'm not the only one in this world that felt that Twilight is over-rated.

I caught the movie with Claudia and PCK today, although some parts were edited, the movie was still pretty nice, atonement I guess. LOL. And, lead actress is pretty. So is Jasper and Alice Cullen. Jasper Cullen is soooooooooooo cute. And Alice Cullen looks like Jean Grey. =D The Cullen family are just funny except for Rosalie that is, she is pretty scary in a way. Alright alright. I have been whining whole day to Claudia about how over-rated the book is that I must seriously stop now.

Thanks for letting me whine,
Tschüß!

DANG! I went to get my diary and I broke something. It's super troublesome to break things with all the cleaning up to do. Arggh. Just finish cleaning it, damn damn damn troublesome.

I got bugged too. Cannot stop coughing now. -.- With mild sore throat. Not on medication yet, if it still persists then I will be.

I just finished a book today, sorry that I can't reveal the Title of the Book. It was a book that is very hard to understand. The author uses many old English(It was written in 1913 and finished in 1914.) and the language of the book seems too difficult that too many a time I got lost. But reading through the book, it has many interesting quotes that I would like to share with you guys.

But he saw only dying light and a dead land. He uttered no prayer, believed in no deity, and knew that the past was devoid of meaning like the present, and a refuge for cowards.

Blessed are the uneducated, who forget it entirely, and are never conscious of folly or pruriency in the past, of long aimless conversations.

Love was an emotion through which you occasionally enjoyed yourself. It could not do things.

This quotes really sets me thinking when I was reading the book. Maybe it doesn't to you, but different individuals sees things differently.

I might re-read the book someday, perhaps when my command of English gets stronger, maybe then will I be able to understand what the author was trying to express in this novel that wasn't published till 1971, a year after the author has passed away in 1970.

Twilight seems to be the fad now, everyone seems to be talking about Twilight and how good the book is and screaming girls that are all so crazy over this Edward person. And, yes, I bought the book and I hope it lives up to it's reputation. Ting told me I wouldn't like the book though, because I'm the mystery kind. She didn't like it either. I'm gonna start reading it soon.

I know this is a random post.

Thanks for reading anyway,
Tschüß!

Hi guys, I know this is overdue. Last weekend was the class chalet. It was really fun.
First day of the chalet, before we checked in, I met some of our classmates at JE mrt station, together with Mr. Pan, to make our way to the chalet destination. I must say, the area of our chalet is really pretty deserted. When night falls, it just get extremely quiet. And the place where our chalet is located is just right in front of Old Changi Hospital, spooky eh?

First day.
Upon reaching there, we collected the keys and we just went in and settle down. Afterwhich, we went to rent bikes! It has been eons since I last rode a bike. Shanen didn't know how to bike so Serene started teaching her, teaching her how to balance and pedal, she was really really scary. She just don't care who is watching at her shouting, "I don't care, you get up on the bike now!", "6.30, by 6.30 you still don't know how to ride, then I let you go get your Tao Ni. But you must not rest, cannot stop trying. (Soya Milk)" I have not seen her that fierce before. Eventually, Shanen gave up and walked away to clean herself up. Then we waited for very long and couldn't find her. 1st call: "Shanen, where are you?" Shanen,"I walking back le." So we cycled along the paths and we couldn't find her, we were thinking, how on earth did she walk that fast. 2nd Call: "Where are you?" Shanen," I reach already, I took taxi." Serene,"WHAT? *Jaw drop*
After she put down the phone, I ask Serene where is Shanen and she told me she took taxi. My Jaw dropped lower than hers. LOL.
Fast-forward few hours.
At about 10+ 11. We all agreed to go cycling. There were accidents and the girls went back. The rest of us continued cycling and we reached our destination which is downtown east, in about 1hour + time. The journey there was really long but it was damn fun. Feel the cool breeze as we cycle and the feeling of reaching the destination was incredible. It felt damn good to reach our destination! Achievement I guess. We took pictures, it's with BK, and bought some food and we cycle back. The road back, it was the same route, but this time we took a much lesser time and by the time we are back, our butts were aching like, eh, imagine, you have a blue black, and the whole of your body weight is acting on it. That was how we felt the moment we sat on the bike seat. Darn bad. We also made a turn to see eh, transvestite who sell sex. According to Mr. Yang, Male that sell sex are called, 面首. By the time we reached the chalet, it was already 1 in the morning and we continued round 2 of BBQ-ing. It was of the food that we bought back from downtown east. we sat there and chit chat till about 5 before we all went back to our rooms, bath and waited for time to pass so that we can go and watch the sunrise. We left for Changi Beach, although we couldn't see the sun, it was still a incredible feeling. Seeing the sky lighten up by the minute and eventually everything is clear. The feeling was just amazing. I just stood there, watched the sky lighten. It really is the BRAND NEW DAY feeling.







Some of the pictures are took by Ah tong, some are by me. I just posted it up. It's not all though. But I do really like the picture above.

Day 2 : I practically slept throughout the day. LOL. The moment I woke up, it was like 6? And they are starting to start up the fire for the BBQ. There was alot alot alot of food. We had like crazy amount of satays and chickens. I tried to eat as much as I could. After we eaten. We started playing with water. Spray Spray Spray, It was damn fun. Everyone got wet, but it was just fun.
Everyone was damn shag after it and we all washed up and slept. The very next day, the final day, we packed up and cleaned up the place. and left. The moment I reached home, I didn't even felt like talking. My brother ask me like hell lotsa questions and I just didn't bother to reply. Threw my clothes into the washing machine and topple over onto my bed and sleep.

The chalet was really fun and I am missing it now. heh. Let's have a chalet next year! alrighty!

Thanks for reading,
Tschüß!
