You know, I MUST say that it was really perfect timing again. I was blogging in the afternoon and when I posted, it was taking a long time to load.. I then sensed that that might be some error again and I quickly copied the my whole post to notepad. And lucky for that.. it was true, I saw the news and Starhub had some problem with the connection and it affected a few areas in the east.

Ok I will just copy and paste what I typed earlier...

Wow I slept for about 12 hours. I guess I am really tired and not forgetting the heavy rain which makes it nicer to sleep. If not for my grandmother who woke me up, I will probably be still sleeping.

Anyway, damn! Was blogging last night and when I posted, there was an error so the post was gone. Grrr.. wasted my time typing quite a long entry. I just gotta start all over again. Let's see what I can remember..

On Monday, talking about the change of plans, went to the zoo to see Shiya's fellow family members.. Haha.. just kidding. Hmm.. took alot of pics there and I can really publish an animal book already. Hmm the most classic thing that happened would be the penguin that was disturbed by Clarice. Caught it down on video as evidence.. Haha.. it was so cute.. Alright shan't say things in detail. To end that, it was Ben and Jerry's ice-cream in waffle cone and 'Survivor' picture taking at the entrance.

Now going on to yesterday. I had to go for a doctor's appointment at NUH. Been quite a while since I last went there. Yup so my operation date has been confirmed. 13th April.. Arghh.. Although this is just a minor day surgery, I think my fear will come back again when the day draws near. Really hope I don't get the bruise thing again because it sucks. Ok, I will be strong.. it will be over before I know it..

I was late. Very late. Yaaa.. everyone knows it queuing for everything in the hospital. So thanks to that, only arrived at Changi airport at about 2pm. To kill time, Clarice bought a magazine and a book. Haha.. so sorry about that.

We had a feast for lunch. Ordered like more than 2 people's share. There was lor mee, nasi padang and indian rojak. What a spread, huh? Yum yum.. of course we didn't finish everything but not bad for just 2 people eating.. =D

We then just walked around the airport for a while before going to Fairprice to get some water and snacks. Haha and then it was taking buses to Changi Boardwalk which I was afraid of, especially with Clarice. From bus 24 to 2 to 29, just felt paranoid that something wrong would happen like taking a wrong bus or going in the wrong direction. It was quite hard to believe that everything was smooth sailing. =X

3 walks there, Kelong, Sunset and Cliff walk. We didn't go to cliff walk as we were afraid we might miss the sunset. So walked down Kelong walk to sunset walk and waited for the sun to set. Took really crazy and wacky pics and before we knew it, saw the beauty of nature. Really nice sunset. Except for the time when the sun was behind the clouds which upsetted the view. And then when the sun came down again, took more pics before it disappeared completely.
It was really peaceful and nice there.. Love the breeze, love the view, lovin' everything.

Appreciating nature! =)

- 30 March 5.27pm -

Lately there have been so much confessions. Like when we went out with the guys for dinner and yesterday when I had a talk till about 4am.

Supposed to leave the house for amk then head to Seletar Reservoir but looks like the weather isn't that good. It can rain cats and dogs anytime. Lucky I have not left the house =X ..So a change of plans, will meet for lunch instead. Maybe do more indoor stuffs today.

Been lovin' these few days and I guess it will be the same for the upcoming days. And before I know it, they will be part of my precious memories.

Sometimes it's hard
When it's the matters of the heart..

Chalet was great. It was so much better than the previous one. Much more people, much more fun, much more things happening and the bbq was so much better.

Kinda sad when some of us will split in year 2 because of different options. BM0406 is really a fantastic class. Oh well, nothing lasts forever.

Hmm.. this time round didn't play much Mahjong. Don't know why I didn't had that mood to play. Played more cards, soccer on playstation2 and the guitar. And of course, more chit-chatting with each other. Haha and a great adventure walking all the way to 7-eleven with Michelle, Shamimi and Hasanah. It was a 'near' walk as what Shamimi said and it was 'exciting' too. Haa.. long story. Then the next day went back again but this time going there by a different route.

Talks and happenings make me ponder again. Maybe it's much clearer now. Sometimes feel that I was once in the shoes. Know exactly what's happening and felt the same thing. It's hard but.. that's part of life again. Please don't hold on. You seem like you still are..

Anyway, after chalet, Clarice and I went to Macritchie to walk the nature trail all the way to HSBC's treetop walk. Yes, I think we are mad. Because it was like a 10km route. It's not like a straight flat walk all the way. But there were ups and downs, turns, steps and rocky paths too. Not forgetting about 6 storeys up the Jelutong Tower. But, the view and breeze there was nice. Rested our feet there. Luckily Clarice brought Counterpain. Haha we were like applying it up there.

The journey seemed like forever. Soon, I slowed down because my feet and blister were hurting. My operated knee felt occasion pains too so I decided to just walk at a slow pace. Haha then started to lose sight of Clarice as she was far ahead. Met again at the entrance when the walk was finally completed. And wow, the whole thing like took 4 hours. No kidding. I think I couldn't feel my feet then. But the whole experience was great. =)

I need plenty of rest!

Used to be busy with presentations, projects and finishing tutorials and studying but now, so busy with activities. It's like one day after the next.

Anyway, when PEOPLE were still asleep, I was all up and ready. Met Clarice and we went to Kent Ridge Park.

Nice fresh air there early in the morning. Went for the canopy trail and then explored the rest of the area. Haha.. I think there were like million kinds of steps there. We were up and down up and down. Good exercise though.

Next met the rest at habourfront and were off to Sentosa. Tan for a little while then played frisbee, volleyball and so called mini-soccer.

And not forgetting how I dropped my shirt in the water. Michelle was taking pics when I accidentally drop it. In the end, all of us were of the hunt to find a pink t shirt. Hopes of finding was slim but thanks to Edwin, he found it. Haha thank you guys for participating in the search.

Hmm.. then had a feast at Habourfront hawker centre. Perhaps Shiya and I ordered too much food. Oops..

Alright enough said, I better pack my stuffs for Chalet. Will be away for about 2 1/2 days. =)

Had a terrific time at Sungei Buloh wetland reserve. I had always wanted to go there and I finally did. Walking there was like forever. Maybe the "long and winding roads" and the heat made the journey longer. Haha..

Saw the beauty of nature. Just great. And of course Clarice and I covered the place in about 3 hrs. Well, that's including the rest and view times. Only thing we missed was going up the Aerie. We were like so tired. A couple of times we felt we were like going in circles cause there wasn't sign boards at every path so we wasn't sure which way to turn. Kinda reflects that we have to make decisions in life. A wrong path would be a mistake. But, looking at the bright side, you can walk round or back again. =)

First thing conquered. One strike off the list of Clarice's POM exercise book.. What's next!?

Just being with nature =)

Look closely.. What do you see?

Finally reaching our destination

The walk in to Sungei Buloh wetland reserve! Clarice is superwoman?

Came to my room and saw a big mess. It was really an eyesore to see my stats notes all over the table. Haha I can finally chuck them aside.. EXAMS ARE OVER!

1 month holiday starts today! I am so so so so relieved after a week of studying and 4 days of written exam. Phew.........

Clarice, Michelle, Shiya, Pei Sin and I went to Bishan to have our lunch at Mos burger. Walked around for a while then headed to PS. Next was to Heeren.. Shiya finally got her wallet there. Wonders when she will get her specs!

7 to 10.45pm was Kbox! Started warming up and then we were all became hyper-enthus. We were like jumping, seating on top of the seats and doing funny actions. Haha.. you call this releasing stress? The waiters must be thinking we are crazy?

Hmm... definitely feels good enjoying again.

I have already chucked all my econs stuffs aside. I don't know why I feel so happy when only 1 paper is over. It's really fast, still remember a few weeks ago I was still doing revision and now I am already in the midst of exams.

To me, econs was like Oh no for me but I guess it was quite ok...

Now that econs is over, it's PHEW!

Ok hope the next 3 papers go on smoothly! =)

In the afternoon, I was searching for some rough paper for printing. I opened up my cupboard where I kept books and papers and that's when I saw papers stapled together. Took them out and I realised it was about the course I attended back in secondary school.

Star distinction as what it was called. I was flipping through some of the pages and I came across a page when I wrote down my aims and targets. Felt a tinge of sadness when I saw what I wrote. My actual results were like so far away from my targets.

Easier said that done. Often, I will say things like putting in effort, working hard, set priorities right and etc. But, seriously, actions speak louder than words.

Exams are 3 days away. Let's see what's the outcome this time..

Been ages since I last played tennis. Hmm.. missing it already. Don't worry, lots of opportunities after exams.

Anyway, my cousin appeared in the newspaper! Didn't know about it till my grandmother deliberately put it in front of my eyes. I was wondering what she wanted to show me and then I realised Stef was in it.

It's in MindyourBody page 15 of the Straits Times. It teaches you on the forehand stroke, your footing and follow through etc.

Ok back to revision..

It was like the last day to enjoy on Friday. Had lunch at Crystal Jade and dinner at Lau Pa Sat. Had a great time with you guys. Hope it stays the same after we go to our various options.

Hmm exams just about 1 week away. Gotta start studying from tomorrow onwards. As usual just study and put in my best.

Don't know why I am feeling so tired. Zzzzzz...

Wow.. I have been having mountains and valleys lately. And, I noticed it had been always at dinner time. Clarice came over the other day to do project and yeap, she had mountains and valleys too. But I guess she's lovin' it. I think she won't mind coming back for more. =P Whatever it is, I LOVE my grandmother's cooking to the MAX! Today's dinner was nice again. Haha.. I will always miss her cooking when she goes to Genting with my grandfather.

Hmm.. ok enough of mountains and valleys already. Our group have been doing research on Jane Goodall and I think if not for this presentation, I wouldn't really know who she really is.

Jane Goodall is really such an amazing person. She has indeed inspired me in many ways. Such a determined and strong woman. She believed in her dream and worked towards it. =)

She has touched the hearts of many. She has touched mine.

Dreams can be so far from reach sometimes. But always believe in yourself.

Just believe.
