Poly Poly Poly.

Tut tut tut.

::: evil laugh :::

Starting soon right?
Don't worry. It will all be fine. Hopefully. :)
Well, like Nat said-it's a new beginning.
New course, classmates, clothes (!), and I know somewhere along the line JY will say "BOYS!"

SP/NP/TP/RP headache.
But from my knowlege...
Almost everyone is goin SP/TP right? Two big happy families of BGians! Unite!
::: pukes :::

Wonder how you all have changed/

I know someone has a totally new hairstyle (but actually its a wig... kidding kidding!) Anything else? Have you shrunk, grown another arm, got booked into Woodbridge, grown more matured (hah!). Do spill.

I look the same. Except I'm PIMPLY!

Imagine...

BGSS Alumni Gathering/ Emmaus YF December 2005

Me: Hi (your name)

You: Er. Hello. Do I know you?

Me : I'm Kristie, you dolt.

You: Kri-WHAT happened to your face?! You blew up an acid bottle in the lab izzit?

I have to agree. I look horrible. I wld actually take a photo of it, but you might puke on your keyboard and short circuit it and sue me.

Gonna Mel tmr! Show family my pimples. And let them laugh.

Muacks! (I can't think of any other gdbye. How creative)

Damn!

2005-03-18T22:19:00.000+08:00

Tagboard up again. :) Write people!

Exams in two weeks! Not enough time, as always.

Family is not coming down for Easter break! Awww...I'm starting to miss being whacked on the butt with handbags and being bullied. The things being away from your bunch of monkeys and apes does to you...

Nothing's happening. Except that it's bloody cold! Oh, excuse me. My toes keep on falling off from frostbite.

::: Picks up toe :::

See what I mean.

Till next time. That is if I survive the weather.

Kris and frostbitten toe.

My tagboard is ill. Pls send chocolates. To cheer it up. [I'll eat them for it...:) ]

2005-03-13T18:18:00.000+08:00

Sorry.
Taggie not working.
So pls hold your comments/fawnings/abuse till i find a new one or if it stops being grumpy.

Hmmm...disinherited sister. One of e bestest friends. Mum says congrats and stuff that you wouldn't really like to hear. :)

The best shopping sister one cld have.

As mumma says- flaps ard like a bird. And want to wear heels somemore. Hah!

Love you... thru think and thin (how cliched), crushes and sales- you have been a rock to me. Yeah right! More like a mad dog on a leash. Life wouldn't be fun w/o you!

Ok.

Enough pink.
Do you still like the colour JY?

Ahhh. Happy birthday to you. ::: contemplating singing the rude versh my brother sings - Nah :::
Wish I was there to sabo you. Present comin! If you dont' like...hmmp. No lah. I'll send you a diff one. :) But you know how gd my taste is...

Don't you just love tests...

2005-03-07T16:39:00.000+08:00

Oi.

You little idiots haven't told me all the O Level gossip and such yet! Who got what? Who's going where. Oh...my ears are falling off already. :)

Seriously. How did everyone do?

Honestly...I think migrating over has made me more kaypoh. ::: wide grin :::

~

Remember you all used to bug me about ambushing cute undergrads to take their photos (since I can't convince any to jump into a FedEx box and be shipped over)? Wellll...I have a digital! Yay! My uncle's. So expect some photos of school and Australia...and no cute guys. Wahah.

Need to go and feed, change my fishie's water.
Yes.
He is unofficially called Levine. Cos he's maroon. The frontman of Maroon5, my favourite band...is ::: drumroll ::: Adam Levine. Go figure.
Levine is a bit of a mouthfull for a fish. And too silly to boot. Suggestions anyone. But NOT Yuvan. Dear boy, so egoistic.

Ciao

...Nothing I ever write is good enough...[these words]

2005-03-05T10:26:00.000+08:00

Currently in state of euphoria-went shoppping last night. :) No crowds-late night shopping. Then realised one of the shirts I bought is almost identical but a diff colour from one I alreadly have. ::shrugs:: My fault.

~

Room in overhaul! Place is a mess. (what else is new) Shifting everything everwhere.

Btw...Nat, Vi, Ram, Jy...eat ur hearts out. Switchfoot and Simple Plan performed at the Uni! Heheh. I can hear you all screaming. Somemore...Switchfoot was only $40! I heard i was great (some of my friends went) Greenday is coming too...but sold out. :)
But e influx of all the famous bands is only cos the Australian MTV awards is on. Hehe. So normally it's pretty quiet. No Maroon5!

Speakin of Maroon5...changing my video from Sunday Morning to Maria Maria (Santana) Even with my favourite song I get sick of it if I hear it everyday...

So will write later...:)
Lemme change e vid.

Muacks

Baby you don't know what it's like...

2005-03-02T10:10:00.000+08:00

Yessssh. Everyone know's the O Level results came out. And everyone knows who the top two from BG are! Haha...revenge on LIMIN and NATASHA for being so smart! I was screaming when I heard you two were top...Congratulations! So happy for you. Both of you darlins deserve it...remember both of you study like mad...esp Nat with her A Maths books. Hehe.

Anyway...everyone else did well too! No need to name ppl lah.

And BG got value-added? Errr. Don't know whether I should be happy or not.
Yeah, it's really good for the pioneers (haha, I mean, what can we say...we rock. Well, partially) to acheive that...but it will lure more innocent PSLE kids to join and get tortured! Eventually they will become jaded, burnt-out Sec 4's.

Alright, I have a grunge against BG. Hmmm. Don't think it offered the best it could to us in some areas. Ahhhh. Well hopefully it will get better after the Value-Added tag is added to it.

What? No. I won't tell you my score. It wasn't what I expected. 4 years work down the drain. I was so shell-shocked after I got the results.

Enuff about that. How everyone? :::In Sporean accent::: Can or not? Hmmm...if cannot come and join me at UNSW lor... hehe. Miss speaking Singlish.

Eurgh. TOo tired to write. Hope you like the new blogskin.

2005-02-22T16:26:00.000+08:00

Yay!

It's O-Week! Orientation lah, for first-year (duh) undergrads. No sightings of cute guys yet, dear girls. Wait till the senior undergrads come back...then I'll jump on the handsome ones, knock them unconcious and send to you all via DHL. But then you all complain about my taste...haha.

Anyway, it's been a weird, but fun, day.

After my lecture, my friend, C, and I were ambushed by overzealous various Club and Society members (they get free reign of the campus during O-Week to coerce nervous newbies like us to join their clubs).

We went oooooh when we saw this R'n'B club (cos my friend likes that genre) and then this guy jumps up with this poster and says "Hi do you want to join the R'n'B club? You can get into all these hot clubs and see all these acts blah blah." We went errrr and I said "But we are under 18!" and he goes "Well, you can always borrow someone's identity card and pretend to be over 18." I hope he was kidding...haha. Chey lah. I thought they would concentrate more on the music and less on the pubs.

Ahhh...all sorts of clubs. The PoliSoc (political society) had no visitors, other political clubs had there hilarious posters makin fun of the govt., there was a cheerleading society (?!), stuff like the Judo club, Greenpeace and the UN. Hmmm...maybe I'll join the UN club or Amnesty. Give back to the world and help others.
Apparently the Spore Society is huge ("there are so many of them") but boring. Awww. And they have a joining fee?! Haha.

Also picked up brochures and spoke to e nice ppl at the UNSW Christian Students society and FOCUS (Fellowship of Overseas Christian University Students). Thinking of joining the latter. It would be nice to have fellowship and learn more about our Creator with fello students. :)

No more Chocolate Society! Wah! Haiyah...there should be a Coffee Society. Caffeine...! I think I'm addicted to coffee already. Oh dear.

After making our way through the maze of 'promoters' and lost looking first-years , although guides keep on stopping Foundation Year students-so we must look just as blur even after being here for 2 months, we managed to get to class. Eventually. (overheard one of my classmates-"Hey! They give free beer at this society man!" Argh!...oh dear...haha) And then just as we up to class someone gives us pub brochures! Haiyah...don't worry- I don't think I'll ever step into a pub.

Classes still fun. Teachers nice and weird. Lessons interesting.Classmates still funny. :::sighs::: Ah. Bliss. I hope this kinda atmosphere lasts.

Just a lot of hwk. A lot of self-study expected of you. :(

But am worried when undergrads come back. Crowded! Alcohol! Drugs! Bad influences! Wankers!(Haha. Uni slang for cheem talkers-sounds like some ppl we know hmmmm!) Cute guys-distractions! Did I mention crowds?

Luckily FY is moving to new premises soon. Hmmm. Peace and quiet. I think...

Also bought fighting fish! So cuteeee...the fish and the guy at the store. Haha. Had pondweed stuck on his arms from repeat dunking in tanks. Hehe- no I'm not obsessing over guys, dears. Just commenting...

Fishie (no name yet-thought of Poppet but the fish is male and my Uncle doesn't like the name) is red. But just realized that he was bullying the other fish...oh great...I picked a bully. Well, no one for him to bully. Except the snails that came with the plants.

Oh yeah! Got a review on my fanfiction! And someone posted a comment on the author's discussion board where I posted it. Yay! And it was put into someone's favourite fanfic. profile. Not bad for a first fanfic eh. I hope. Haha. Anyway...don't want to tell you all where it is. Paiseh. And it's not like anyone we know is interesed in fanfic. :)

Family settling nicely (I hope) in Mel. Hmmm. Will visit em soon, or they will drive up from Melbourne to visit. :)

I miss them.
And I miss you guys.

Once again
Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
And being my friends for life.

2005-02-13T09:22:00.000+08:00

My Ibanez Electric Bass ...my baby.
Jumpstart GSR190J in Red.
Yes, I think it's the same one they have in Cash Converters Bedok in the shop window facing the library...but no I didn't get it from there. And yes it is cheaper to buy brand new elsewhere with an amplifier!

Study here darlings!

2005-02-13T07:25:00.001+08:00

My Foundation Year is holding one of it's many overseas talks/info days to lure foreign student to join.

They're holding one in Spore. :::hint hint::: It shd be after the O level results come out.
So, if you didn't do well enough for JC/don't like the education system/miss me too much - go and visit the exhibition lah.

Haiyah...I know you all too lazy right?! My parents forced me to go to the exhibitions (twice!) initially.

Here's 7 reasons to go to the EXHIBITION:

1. It's in Suntec. You can go shopping later JY... :)
2. If you don't want to go to my FY :::grumble grumble::: there are like 10+ other Aussie Foundation Year Programmes in the same convention.
3. If you STILL don't want to even look at Foundation Year, there will be Australian Universities on show. Hey, plan for e future.
4. You can kinda see what torture I'm undergoing. Gasp. Nah. It's fun.
5. There could be cute guys. Eh, Nat, Vi!
6. If you all can go trot around all of Spore to visit Poly/JC open houses...
7. It's after the O level results are out. Nw you can weigh ypur options
8. They give away free stuff!

Now that Iv'e convinced you to get off ur butts and go for whatever reason-you HAVE to look at UNSW UFY. (Yes Jiayi, even if you just went to shop)
So if you're going (or even if ur not) here are

10 reasons for considering UNSW UFY.

1. Apparently JC stinks. Poly isn't for everyone if your'e not sure which career path you want to do. So...think about Foundation year lah.
2. You can escape from your parents. Partially.
3. If you cannot get into JC/Poly this is always an alternative. But you must get ok results.
4. Cute undergrads coming back in 2 wks. Eye candy!
5. If you don't like the Spore system (like me). This is less rote learning. More of creative thinking. No more memorising TYS.
6. Prepares you for Uni. We have lectures, tutorials, assignments blah blah-all similar to Uni. Even the subjects are sorta Uni-orientated. Furthermore, since we traipse up and down campus, you will get even more used to what U will be like.
7. Wear whatever you want!
8. It's stressful, yes, but fun.
9. Teachers are good. Students muc more vocal than in Spore.
10. It's easier to get into Aust. Universities. For eg. Law: here you have to mantain about a B+ or better in all subjects whereas if you go to JC you need at least 3 A's at least.
11. You will grow more mature, living away from Spore/family. (Ok-I haven't but maybe you will)
12. Honestly. I'm here! What more reason do you need!

Haha. Hope you all do visit the exhibition. Here are the details.

http://www.ufy.unsw.edu.au/events.htm#month2

University of New South Wales Foundation Year

Date: Thur 03-Sun 06 March 11:00-20:00hrs
Type of Exhibition: Career Day 2005
Location: Suntec Convention Centre
Representative: Ms Margaret Drury

I think they will be showing the Standard C. Starts in April. I think.
Standard C is shorter than mine (9 months-mine is a year). You have to be really intelligent. If you do happen to join, you will be doing the same syllabus as my course starting from June, and be in the premises as me. :)

Really interested? They will give you an interview the following Monday.

Please, please consider people.

Ah, heck. If your'e in e area/have nth to do, just visit!

No, I'm not trying to convince you to come just cos I miss you all terribly and want you all to myself (eurgh) but if you dislike the Spore system and are looking to join UNSW/other Aussie U's in the future, seriously think about this Foundation Year or other ones.

BTW. I got into TPJC! Haha. Forgot to tell my Mum to cancel it so they rang her up on the first day asking where I was. :) I am pissed w myself of not informing them earlier cos now I realize that someone else could have gotten into TP instead of my place being vacant for the next three months.
I apologise to that person, whoever you are.

My family is moving to Melbourne! Permanently! So at least I'll be in thesame country as em. I know you all will miss my Mum. :p She might ring you up (esp LJY) to say good-bye.
We may come back and visit you all in Spore (one last time) in Dec. Haha-just enuff frequent flyer points.
But no promises.

:)

Ramble Ramble

2005-02-11T15:52:00.000+08:00

Haiyah. I don't think I've recovered from coffee withdrawal. A flat white + 500ml bottle of Oak's coffee = :::oooohhhh...i feel sick::: Haha. Dizziness, nausea, headaches, uncontrollable rambling...yar, the lot. Needed caffeine to tahan long lessons yesterday. Serves me right to drink so much.

Still feel woozy now. Eurgh.

15. Re-listen to radio...I gave up listening during the O's...now its a habit...
16. Find a good swimming pool. And swim at least 3 times a week
17. Increase coffee intake (need caffeine) BUT SENSIBLY.
18. Be organized
19. Be more vocal

25. Make this one of the best years of my life.

:)

Of course I know you didn't read all of that. :) It's too boring.

OOOh! I can play "This Love" on the bass! Yay! Still trying to look for bass tabs for Sunday Morning.

Must go.
I stink. Need to shower.

Happy belated CNY!

Muackers...
Kris

Miss you ppl.

Stupid Clothes

2005-02-11T08:37:00.000+08:00

It's moi!

Haven't blogged for a while...anyway...
Happy CNY!
Ang pows leh...?

Awww...no shops open right? Poor Jiayi...no where to spend all that angpow cash.
Idiots-no hols here. :( So jealous.

I heard that JC is still continuing to stink.
Haiyah, dear dear. Still chance to change to poly in, what, 2 wks time i heard right? O results out then? Hehe. Make sure you all come to sch w dyed hair and multiple piercings to freak out the teachers...
But honestly, not nervous meh? I think we all did pretty badly compared to the previous years...they were hard, stupid papers. Don't worry lah-got moderation.
Hey, my Foundation Year has another intake in April: If you don't want to waste away in Spore you can come here...:::wink:::

Yar lah, sch here still ok. Can stay awake; most of the time. Typing this in the cafeteria-free net access-another incentive for u all to come and study here...and of course there's me here... :)

But not enuff clothes. All e stuff u want to wear cannot be worn cos it's too boho/vintage/skimpy/dowdy/yadayadayada.

Ekkk. Class starting soon! Blog again later.

Muacks

School!

2005-01-28T20:28:00.000+08:00

School is great. :)

Classes are easy to understand (yeah, well, 1st week). Lectures not bad. Can tahan w/o falling asleep. Campus is quiet-undergrads not back yet. There's a pool, gym, cafes, a hairdresser; even an arcade? Well, simply, UNSW is, :::in uppercrust English accent::: lovely.

The people are really, really friendly. 18 students in my class; mostly guys, mostly from HK, China. 2 Sporeans, about three others who studied there are one stage. :) So, common ground. Anyway, everyone is surprisingly chatty and willing to participate in class, chat to each other, and generally be stupid. Yay! Oh happy happy!

Yep, made friends. :) Nice Sporean gal, S, and Indo gal, M. So we generally mill around campus together aimlessly, talk and get lost too often.

Nat,JY: The boys aren't that bad. On a scale of 1-10, BGSS guys are a 3, then UNSW UFY are about a 6-7. The better-lking ones; an 8. Not fantastic, but not bad. No, I'm not interested! Iv'e got better things to do. Like hwk. :( Or shop!
Hmmm. Wait till the undergrads come back. Oooh. Maybe I'll reconsider. Yeah right. :p

But the teachers...nice, caring, [add any positive adjective here] but as all teachers go, seriously weird. Like my parents.
We call them by their first names! So informal. I think I won't address them at all when talking to them, i.e : Hi! May I go over the cells lecture with you?
As always, theyre hilarious casual. They joke, act dumb... :)
And...did I say they are really weird? I did? Well, its true...
I mean, our Chem lecturer is funny and considerate; but dresses really formally. Always black. Black pants, jacket, tie, vest (Vest? Who still wears one of em.) At least it's unique, I sspose.In other words, give him a top hat, furled umbrella and walking stick and you could pop him in the Victorian era.
And then, at the end of the lecture, :::boom::: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (you know how the rest goes...) I'm in the club with my... Usher's Yeah pops out of his powerpoint. Oh well. Appeareances can be decieving.

Speaking of clothes... we can wear home clothes dear N@. (Hehe. Cute spelling)
Problem is, anyone in this situation would say they don't have enuff things to wear. It's true. You need too many shirts and skirts and jeans and underwear. :) And you have to buy diff, stuffy outfits for winter, other colder seasons.
But, advice for future poly students; the main idea in getting dressed in the moring for school is NOT to look nice and show off ur pretty outfits, BUT to find something comfy that wont pop off or split halfway during lecture and to not get laughed at because of ur (in their opinion) off-key dressing. Sigh. Oh well...who cares what others think...as long as it isn't tooooo flamboyant...er or suggestive.

Argh.

Tired.
I don't think I'm v. coherent in this post.
And a bit mean too. And borning. Ramble Ramble. Argh. I shall try my next post when I'm more awake...zzz

Though school is great, through all this, I still miss you little idiots. So don't worry.

Awww! I miss my babies...!

2005-01-22T20:28:00.000+08:00

Hello.

Orientation ok. Made lotsa accqaintances.

Problem is, all in the wrong class.

Haha. I got confused and went to the wrong class orientation. So I spent a nice 2hrs getting to know the people of Physical Science Class 1, instead of Life Science Class 1, which is my class.

So, to date: no idea who's in my class. Hmmmp.

Anyway, lotsa nice ppl in Phy. Sc. 1. Got to know an Sporean gal. :)

Argh.

Still.....no idea who is in my class!

Somemore, I didn't buy tix for the City Tour yesterday, so there goes another chance of makin friends down the drain. Sigh.

The worse part is that EVERYONE IS OLDER THAN ME! Not kiddin. 16 is the youngest. Honestly. I thought everyone would be around there. But noooooo. Almost everyone is 18+! I think there are some 20 yr olds milling abt. How am I supposed to compete with people with 2-4 years more experience than me! More experience/ years learning in sch = smarter. Help!

Ahhh. Well. God will help me. Having faith and keeping it is just as impt, even more so. I think it's slipping away from me. I need to get my spiritual life back in order. To renew my covenant with God daily. To walk with Christ and thank him for His death on the cross everyday. And to think WWJD in times of trouble.

Going to a Baptist church tmr. See how it goes. If service goes according to what God says in the scriptures, and God tells me that I shd stay and make this my church, then I will.

Auf wiedersehen!
Good luck in not falling asleep in ur Econs lectures, dearies.
Leave a tag! Send an email! Tell me how life is in Spore!

PostScriptum: No. The video is Sunday Morning. Not This Love. Despite the intro with kareoke-rs singing This Love horribly off key. Ah. Sunday Morning. My fave song...That may be all I need/in darkness she is all I see... :::off key ::: Alright! I'll stop! I don't understand why most ppl like She Will Be Loved more. Frankly, I thought it was their worst song on their fantastic album. ::: Ducks to avoid copies of Sunday Morning being thrown ::: Okok!
Anywayyyy...the vid seems ( my com slow) to start of with people singing T.L to karoke. Then Maroon5 comes on and sings S.M. Nice and simple vid. Love it. Classic. Better than This Love's video. Eurgh! With Adam Levine err... you know.
So, just watch Sunday Morning. Or just listen to it if ur com is too slow like mine. The bass. (Sorry,you now I have to plug my instrument) The vocals. The Lyrics. The whole, whimsical, lovey-dovey feel of it. See why Iv'e fallen completely, irrevocably, in love with the song.

Help Me Lord

2005-01-19T21:37:00.000+08:00

Beautiful Lord wonderful Savior
I know for sure all of my days are Held in Your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently call me into Your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord To live all of my life through Your eyes

I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me
mold me
Use me
fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me
guide me
Lead me
Walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

ARGH!

2005-01-19T18:48:00.000+08:00

Orientation was HORRIBLE!

I think I left my socialising skills back in Spore. Honestly. Today, of course, was orientation. And, well, it would have been fun if I actually TALKED to someone. Yes, my fault.

250 students. Half from HK. Quarter from China. 10% Indo. Rest are from the usual: Russia, Philipines, M'sia. Even SWeden, US, UK! Guess how many Sporeans. Like 5.

Thus, everybody from one country/speaking the same language stick together. Argh. I can't butt into a group of HKers and speak English/my lousy Cantonese?

::: sighs irritably::: Anyway, I was to proud to go up to anyone and say " Hi. I'm Kristie. What's your name?, " like some kid in kindergarden. Well, no choice. HAVE to do it tmr to someone or else I'll be a loner for the rest of the school year.

Any suggestions?

Oh. And the boys are pretty ok. Nth spectacular. Yet. Lot of chio girls. Good eh, Yuvan?

Tmr is tour; three classes to one. Help!

Miss everyone

I nvr knew makin new friends, let alone ones as gd enuff as you, would be so hard. :)

Wish me luck. I'll need it. Let God help me... :)

Au reviour

Je suis etudiant

{I am a student} Again. Bought this Learn French CD at the Uni bkshop. :) Er. Je suis etudiant. Thats abt all I can say. And badly too!Yep. School. Again. Hehe!
But the best part is that I can wear whatever I want! Hmmmmp! I forgot. You bloody poly students can too. :p
Uni pool (swimming, you dopes) is expensive. Very. $4 per time. $25 a month. Must share lanes! Gonna be packed! Ah. At least I can swim every few days. While being squished.

Life etcetera...

Shops close at 5... aww. But at least there's Roxy. Billabong. Ripcurl. :) And Puma et al is v. cheap too. Jealous Novi? Learning to cook. Badly. Everything's well done! (Too well done)

Hello.

Back in Oz. Freezing. Missing u all. Cold. Everything has suddenly shot up in price. At least Pizza hasn't.

I want to give u all my mailing add. but i don't really trust posting it up on the net. I'll send it to u via email or u can get from Yuvan or Yanzi. :) Anyway, send me ur mailin adds too.

Anyway, I'm living near the beach so theres a lot of Brit backpackers and local in their cossies (swimwear). Nice hor, Nat et all? sounds like eye candy, but theyre sorta ewww. Esp when theyve been drinking. That makes it dangerous at night. Oh well. I'll stop grumbling.

School seems ok. Visited it twice. Only bout 20 ppl per class. Mostly Asian. Campus is big. UNSW has one of e biggest libraries in AUst!

Awwww. But miss u all. Thanx for e pressies! Theyre beautiful. But had to open em cos customs at the airport needed to check.

Need to go now. Bye

This is it guys.
I'm going home.

Yes, yes. You heard me. Au reviour. Ciao. Auf wiedersehen (vielleicht nicht).
I'm leaving Singapore to go back home to study.
That's why i set up tis blog.
I don't actually like blogs-they sorta give me headaches for no apparent reason, thinks its the wierd backgrounds and sad thoughts-no offense to everybody who has em though; I like readin em cept for my migraines-maybe i'm allergic...sorry, I shall shut up.
Anyway, i set this up so I don't have to send multiple emails to everyone saying how much i miss em...awwww....you know i already do. So in like a few months, when u forget me, you don't have to visit this blog! Ahhhh. Painless. Esp if u have blog-headaches like me.

The details-I forgot. Sorry. Throw stones later.
When: dunno. By 9th jan. Maybe on Nat's bdae (sorry girl)
Where: You know. Duh. Oh fine. To pinpoint, UNSW.
Why: Simply cos i miss home. And most prob cannot stand jc life. And cos parents want to.
With: Stayin w uncle. Family still in Spore. Sob.

Btw. Shiyong. Be warned. I'm gonna STRANGLE you.

Yes people. i will miss you. Loads. And to the ones Shiyong told-I was going to get round to tellin you! Sorry.
