Crazy weekend

Before I turn off and start my intensive study(which i hope to really do it), I shall share what I have been doing over the long weekend! It has been a treat for me and I am very thankful for it.

On Friday, met up with the Poly peeps to celebrate Shu Xian's birthday and do some SHOPPING!

LingLi wore a dress that day... So sweet! :D

I managed to "reward" myself with a few stuff that I bought. But seriously, it's not enough! Hahaha! I shall do even more shopping when the upcoming tests are over! Christmas is truly a season of giving. Yeah, I felt that stretch on Friday. I hope that person will be blessed! :D

After shopping, went to Mark's house for a fantastic cgm!! Phoebe, no worries, we are doing well!

From there, I proceeded to Sebawang's Home Team NS chalet for Pei Xian birthday celebration!!! At 12 mindnight, we had this series of thingys for her. She was allowed to enter the room at all, until 12. As she was blind folded at the room outside, we were supposed to ignite the party poppers. I accidently said, "I am so afraid to pop!!!" And Sishi slapped me immediatedly. HAHAHA. How careless of me. Oopsy. So yay, after opening her eyes, we presented her with a pretty cake they designed. Then, we asked her to find her present under a pile of balloons. That wasn't any presents though, and Sheng Jie popped out from underneath and gave the birthday girl a fright!

Presenting my favourite part.

We were all orderd to take a shower(thankfully i brought my clothes!!) before part 2... Heeheehe. We created a square with the table full of drinks in the middle!!!

Cheers to Pei Xian and may our friendship last forever!!!

After that we had a series of games. My favourite part was that we could laugh all night. Hehehe.

More than that, we chatted and had questions like, "If you could kill one person, who would that be?" and "Who would you want to spend the rest of your life with?" Pei Xian seemed to be the most popular person and I was so jealous. Hahaha!

I managed to get like 2-3 hours of sleep... We woke up and I(and some others) had to leave already.

Those are just random photos. Heehee!

Went home, took and bath and proceeded to JW church for Tim's baptism! Congrats boy!

Service was awesome and it'll be something I'll remember in the long run :)

When I got home, I managed to catch Phoebe on skype and I chatted with Jing and Phoebe!! Was happy, of course! :D Glad to hear that they are enjoying themselves over there as well... I just can't wait for them to return! Have to be patient on that. Yeah, and we talked for like 1 hour...

Alright, the worst part of Sunday... Got to go study now! :/

Busy, with irritating nose.

Presenting my skills lecturer. She is the sweetest person on Earth. Argh, I love too many people, help me!!!

Ok, I feel so much better after doing abit of school work! Nothing much, just preparing myself mentally for the crazy week 8!!!!!!! Can you believe it?! 2 project presentations and 2 tests on Tuesday and 1 test on Thursday. Not forgetting, 2 tests on week 7. Well, I hope I can do well admist of all the busyness.

I mean you would be thinking, "Oh man, why don't you just start studying when you reach home?" Well, I usually reach home at 11. Haha. I feel that I can't run away from it? You can't just expect me to quit whatever I'm doing now right? I think I'm coping well, if I stop doing up my jigsaw puzzle and stop playing bejeweled on facebook. Hahaha.

I'm very happy cos another of my childhood dream has been fulfilled!!! - To perform like a Hi-5 member. The event was good, the kids were all so spontaneous!! But knowing about their lives made me realise how blessed I am.

It's a 4 hour break in school and I'm gonna make good use of every single minute of it! :D I am determined, I can do it!!!

Pssst! 4 more days to Macdonalds!

Randomness

It feels good cycling at 12midnight at about 24degree celcius listening to, "Nothing is Impossible"

I've learnt that words is a powerful tool. It can hurt, it can affirm people.

My life is so fruitful especially when I cycling past xiao guilin everyday. Oh, and I get to save up to $1.38 a day!

I can feel the chilli of the frog leg porriage swimming in my stomach.

Pay day is coming!

JingWei's return is coming soon also!!

3 people mentioned that I have slimmed down this week. Woo!

NP BUDGET. LOUSY STRUCTURE. Got flooded... But not for NYP! :D

I'm tired...

I.H.M

Presenting the make up guru!!! And yes, I believe that she will be a super proessional make up artise one day!!! :D

Taylor, the latte boy.

Bring me java, bring me joy.

Taylor, the latte boy.

I love him, I love him, I love him...

My Childhood Idol

Presenting Kellie Crawford, now 35, when she was 18 in the band named, "Teen Queens"


PRETTY!!!! Oh dear, that means I will look uglier and fatter when I grow up (no offense Kellie!).

It's been almost a decade since Hi-5 started and I have to say that I am really disappointed with the new Hi-5 team :( Not their fault actually that they look ugly or can't sing as well but it just feels different! Goodbye to Charli, Nathan, Tim, Kathleen and my favourite member, Kellie. Ok, anyway I have to get real. They're all aging and can no longer entertain kids like some young adults. Well, all I can do is to look at their videos. I still thought I had hope in meeting and taking a photograph with them :/

Weeks ago I signed up for some nutrition thingy in school. I thought I had to attend a lecture and that was it. But I was wrong. I am now being followed up by a lecturer. She wants me to record my diet and exercise daily. I didn't know that the school would take it so seriously. So yeah, I have a personal counsellor! Wooahh! It's a one-on-one session weekly so I can have all the attention! All the attention to have the motivation to slim down of course.

Then, I won't be looking fat and ugly when I turn 35.

Thanks Guys! :D

Just want to thank THEM for the lovely belated birthday gift. Hahaha.

No surprise. I realise I always get bullied everywhere :/

Today for SoundCard practice we had fun! Expressing ourselves, making up stories with songs... Looks like we're heading to a better direction yeah! Really kudos to P and VPs :) I just can't wait to see another batch of juniors coming in. I believe that we will grow to greater and even more greater heights!

The weekends are here once again! I just need to pull up my socks. Grrrr. Yes please. Maria Boey, you better exercise some self-discipline here. The activites in school and other stuff is not an excuse.

Somebody, point a knife at me and tell me to study :/

I need to chill!

I would want to meet Nicole soon!! Heehee.

Ok, I miss the holidays when I could chill out until the wee hours of the night. I will be patient and wait till December!!

I just can't start studying! Grrrr! Stayed back in school for 3 hours and did a lil work. After that, was smsed that training was cancelled -___- For now, I'm kinda neither here nor there, thus, the lost of inspiration to study. Hahaha. You know what I mean? Studied in school already but still feel it is not enough. But there's no mood as well.

I shall be less wimpy (think i read too much 'Diary of a Wimpy kid' lah...) and just do my work. Heh.

Booya

Hello!! Firstly, Happy Birthday Melina :D May you have good health!!!

After service, I popped by hall 6 as the cheena peeps were working there for some BMI event! Too bad no free gift for me :( If you exclude Carlos, don't you think I look like some celebrity and they rest are the facilitators? WAHAHAHAHA.

The lights remind me... Christmas is coming!!! ^^

On Sunday, I went to Ngee Ann City to support Fadzly, Joshua and Shikin in a singing competition! :D It was also my first "trail" for my Sony a230... Hehee. The photos turned out not so bad. Looking at how I can improve though.

The favourite photo!!

ShaoYu was there at the event as well! I didn't even know! LOL. Such a small world eh. Hahaa. We always see each other in such events lah. Heehee. Carlos too!

It's week 4 already! Time to buck up! Will be studying in school on Wednesday! Ok, I should study everyday @_@ Of course, I'm gonna study like now!! :D It's fun lah, cos the things I study are usually interesting. Yay me!

Urgh

Guess what I ate for tea time one day after the nutrition talk...

Sinful, I know. I had this ONLY at about 3pm and I have not eaten since! :/ Jeez, there goes my effort(if i did put in any) for being healthy and losing weight. Skipping dinner. URGH! Ok, enough being so whiney about food. How to solve the problem? Have a really, really, really, really good breakfast tomorrow! :D

Ok, this is driving my stomach nuts. Sleeping shall do the trick.

Counting Down... 36 more days to Jing's return! :D

Time sure flies. It was like yesterday when I bade Jing good-bye at Changi Airport. Argh! Babe, break a leg for your exams and I'll be looking forward to your return! Btw, here's another YouTube update of her!!!



Well, I've been reading this! Jeez, I only take about 2 days to finish a book!!!

Yeah, I know it's kinda childish to read books with lil drawings and bigger fonts. But seriously, I LOVE this series!! The book cover there says that 25million books are sold in the US. Like come on, would 25million children be reading this? I bet not!

I just like the writer being frank and brutally honest about his life (even though its fiction). It also gives me the sastisfaction of reading someone else's diary without them knowing!! It's kinda sad that my brother or parents don't have any diary so I can't secretly read them. At least, this books allow me to do so!!!

I so want to write like the writer but I sadly I don't have the talent for doing so. I do know friends that write like that sometimes!!! They are JingWei and Timothy!!! Timothy, mind abit of publicity? ;) Click here to view his blog!

I am so, so glad that I managed to have time for myself. Seriously, reaching home at 5pm is like the best thing ever(even though i know that most of my friends complain that 5pm is really late). Managed to take a nap and complete a couple of stuff. One thing I have learnt over the days... Stonning at facebook is a waste of time!!! I think facebook surfing is only good when you're doing an essay, where you can just pop by and stalk your friends when you're still thinking of what to write. But too bad, I don't have essays to do this semester.

Oh, I had this nutrition and exercise talk earlier on... I must say that I've got a lot of information! It was worth the staying back! Tips you guys can take from me: If you're hungry and want a snack, take nuts. Try to avoid food with a lot of gravy. You don't know what has been added in there and we Singaporeans need to reduce the sodium(salt) intake. And of course, avoid the obviously unhealthy food.... A lecturer from Melbourne gave us the lecturer. It was funny that she kinda mocked at the rubbish food we have here in Singapore. No doubt about that, Singapore produces a lot of unhealthy food. But I was like, "OooOooo, look who's talking!" Melbourne dosen't have a lot of healthy food either. I can see fastfood everywhere and their serving can be about twice of ours? But what's good is that they have a culture of packing lunch to work(so that is maybe why she had to mock at us). Well, I will do that when I start working. Because food in KK is very expensive. So, I hope to be healthier over the month!

Doesn't mean if you're skinny with excellent BMI, you are healthy. Though we have lesser obese people compared to the US, our rates of people suffering from heat diseases are high! That's something to think about.

Time to do some work! Toodles!

The beauty of Chinese

Ok, I know I am not really good in Chinese but wow, I think my Chinese name is really a rare one! It's one of a kind. (okay, my whole name altogether is already one of a kind -_-) I think I live up to my name. Not bragging or anything, but it's really true!!!

梅素慈
Mei Su Ci

梅- Mei. My surname. Well, it comes from the word Mei Hua which means Plum Blossom. Haha, ok, I know I am not pretty but I do love flowers :) Plum Blossom only blooms during winter. If I intepret it, it would be like, "During the darkess and the coldest moments in life, one still blooms strongly and beautifully!" Wow, I will always be strong and be at my peak whenever the situations around me are down yeah.

素- Su. Which represents vegetarian. Ok, fine I know I am no vegetarian or vegan(shall blame my mom for feeding me meat my whole life), but I love nature! Bring me overseas and I would ask for any nature sights. Ahhh, that is my kind of heaven! :)

慈- Ci. Which comes from Ci San (Charity). Well, is being a nurse considerd as doing something charitable? I know I don't work for free though. Hahaha. But I long to do relief work one day :D

So there you go! My Chinese name!! My Mom told me that she got my name from a monk, so it sounds really buddhist. Funny thing is, I was born a Christian. Haha. Yeah, my parents were converted the year I was born. I wonder what was the great impact.

I guess, you must be wondering, "What about my English name?!"

Well, it's less complicated compared to my Chinese name. My parents told me that they watched the Sound Of Music and was inspired by the name "Maria". It starts with 'M' as well because 'M' had something to do with music. If my name was not Maria, it would be Melody. So, "Maria" sounds better for me right?! Hahaha.

For Baguita(preferred to be pronounced as "ber-gi-te"), it is my baptism name. I kinda saw it online(and you know how inaccurate internet sources are) and felt in love with it!!! I found that names are actually derived for simpler names. So that similiar simpler name was "Bernita" which means "Blessed". Yeah, you make think it's rubbish and all, but come on, I was only 14. Hahaha. Well, if I were to be some English poet, you would think otherwise.

I love my name!!! Here's a suggestion... Before laughing at people's name(im not offended at all actually), why don't you just stop, think and admire how on Earth this name came about.

Happy Birthday Roy! :)

Happy Halloween ya'll! I told my friends I won't be celebrate all these kind of things but I was too attracted to them when I saw those lying on the floor doing nothing! :P

The cellgroup celebrated Roy's birthday and I hope you liked it Roy!!! :D Happy 21st!! All the best in whatever you do!!

After the celebrations and dinner, we went to One Fullerton's Starbucks!! It was my first time going there and yay!!! Managed to see Acelyn and WanTing working! It was also cool when we got to see so many people going to Butter Factory dressed up with all the costumes!

WanTing looking smart with her apron.. Hahaha. I think I should go there and chill more often! I guess they both can make good drinks ya :D

Played with WanTing's sexy fangs. Hahaha. Ok, I look horrible here.

Call it a coincidence or what??!?!?! I went to the toilet say about 5 minutes after Phoebe, Xue Er and Roy came back... While in the cubical, I saw a black handphone. I thought it would be some of those ladies that were still in the toilet touching up on their costumes and all. I was so ready to go out and ask them if the handphone belonged to them. Well, to my surprise, it was a familiar HTC! Saw the contacts and I knew it was Phoebe's!!! From that moment on, I felt so proud of myself. HAHAHA! But yeah! Phoebe!! Please becareful, unless you want a new phone! :P

The pretty drinks!! Ahhh! Reminds me! Christmas is coming! I can feel it~

What a day for me!!!!!! :D FastFood Diet STARTS TODAY! All the best to me!!!!!!!!
