8:18 pm: Missing Grandma
TODAY is my grandmother's 3rd anniversary in the Chinese Calendar. Went to the temple where her ashes were placed with my family along Balestair there. Only went for 5 minutes. I really miss her a lot, though. Sometimes we are just too busy and fail to remember all these important dates, just too busy sometimes. Bought flowers for her, yeah.Labels: Special events

9:50 pm: A busy week...... indeed
Hello everyone,MONDAY: Monday can say is quite a good start of the week. A normal school day, then during geography, my geog relief teacher (cause my geog teacher went re-service) say there'll be remedial after school. Den it was like after school 2:05 PM, den I went bookshop buy new curve rule and new mathematical set. Then waited till about 2:30 PM, went to geography remedial. Den guess what?, everyone said they would be attending, but onli I was there. So she gave me 1 to 1 remedial. 1 to 1 good leh, remedial in staff room, got comfortable air corn XD. After that, the remedial ended like at 3:26 PM, I then headed for Bishan to visit my grand auntie. Then while I was waiting for the train to come, I met Natasha Lee, haha = ) Then when I reached Bishan, I bought my favourite mc flurry, then enjoyed a 5 minutes walk to my grand mother's house. Cause my grand auntie still cant do things like housework, so like this week I went visit her for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Tomorrow also going.
TUESDAY: Quite tiring leh, after school, got CCA, sian. CCA finish den already 5 PM already, so same thing, went my grand mother's house, for a short while. After I reach Bishan, I headed to McDonald's to buy my mc flurry, ignoring the weather =( I buy finish then started to drizzle. So I like walked fast past the overhead bridge, then walked into my grand mother's house. I was walking while eating, haha. I was "protecting" my mc flurry while walking and would certainly not want raindrops dripping into my ice-cream. Cause my grand mother's house is those private houses, located opposite Bishan MRT, Jalan Binchang. So need to walk in. Then arh, dunno why so suey arh, walking in den rain get heavier and heavier =( So like run from tree 1 to tree 2, den take a break to eat mc flurry. Kept doing that till I reached my grand mother's house. My grand mother's house is like deep deep inside, the Jalan Insaf there, so like I was dashing across the road and ran in la..... Reach already became like sort of a wet chicken. Shirt wet wet de. Lucky hand phone and other valuables not went... hehe.... Then bathed at my grand mother's house, then shortly after that, my dad came. So went to eat Botak Jones at the Ang Mo Kio there for dinner. Was quite surprised leh, they say they cut the portion due to rising costs, hahas, they should cut more lor, I nearly cannot finish..... See la, ang mo is lidat de..... Eat so much no wonder lifespan so short XD
WEDNESDAY: Well, same la, but school ended at 1:30 PM not 205 PM yesterday. I headed for Bishan, haha. I went Junction 8 and had lunch, then walk around look look, see got anything buy lor. Then 3 PM, I went to the piano studio to practice piano till 3:30 PM. 3:30 PM piano lesson start already, then 4 PM end, end already I went grand mother's house, haha, this time not so suey, haha never rain. :D Then rest awhile, then we (me, mum, sis) went home ourselves. Brother's missing cause he went to camp on Tuesday, so on Tuesday night, I cleared all the mess under the bed and dumped everything that belong to him on his table. Cleaning my room from rubbish dump to five star hotel. All the mess is made by him wan lor, I very clean de... XD he always mess up, so from now on he mess up, I just throw those things away.

8:31 pm: Long period of time................
Hi everyone reading,I know la har, loooong time never write blog liao. Cause kind of busy with school work and have no time for computer. Even if I on the computer, the one who is using it is not me. Hmms, today just came back from maths tuition, so like kind of a bit tired and don't feel like doing any work, so I decided to write blog today since I haven't written for numerous days.
As promised, the Malaysia trip. Okay, quite fun and enjoyed it but a bit paiseh. Me and my family (Dad, Mum, Sis, Bro) drove all the way up from Singapore to Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. If you people are good in mapping, Cameron Highlands is located at the North West corner at Pahang. So that is like very far north. We stayed altogether 3 nights at Malaysia. 2 at Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. The last night at a five star hotel booked by my grand uncle when we visited him and his family on the way down back to Singapore at Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia. Cameron Highlands in Pahang, Malaysia was very fun.
The weather at Cameron Highlands is very cool there 19-21 degrees Celsius. The Australia weather. But Cameron Highlands is about strawberries! There are countless strawberry farms there. And of course, the BOH tea plantation factory. It was my first time going to the BOH tea plantation factory and I saw how tea leaves were made (Dirty u noe, so next time before u drink tea, better wash the tea leaves WELL). But frantically speaking, I was quite amazed with how tea was made (so fast!). And the strawberry farm (s) were nice too. There is one of the farms, that allows you to plug strawberries, I was just eating and plucking away :P So fun and cheap (30RM 1KG) plucking strawberries. But some are just not nice XD. While I was staying in Cameron Highlands in Pahang, I stayed in a "resort" there. Chefoo Methodist resort. That place is very "简陋". So it's like VERY dark at night aka haunted. No la joking. Haunted I check out immediately. Then the so called "resort" got a caretaker woman. Cause this "resort" got a very big field downstairs, a basketball court, and a playground. So that woman had a dog called "bay". So I don't know why but my sister and my brother seems to like that dog very much. That dog also quite friendly also. Then while during the period of our stay there, we like to play badminton there. And Monopoly upstairs at our rooms. So it's like kind of weird. Going for a holiday but bringing monopoly and badminton there to play... After the two days of stay, before we left, she gave us 8 packs of small tomatoes, and one tray of strawberries. But the sad thing is when we brought the strawberries to Selangor, while visiting my grand uncle and his family, so strawberries were squashed and the juice is like coming out of the tray. SAD. So we have no choice but to give some of the strawberries to them, in addition to 4 packs of the tomatoes :P
We also did many things in Selangor. Visit grand uncle and his family is one. Second was visit my grand uncle's wife's parents. Sounds complicated isn't it? haha. Wow, it's like first time meet them and Me, my sister and brother received 50RM red packet each... That is one of the reasons why I said paiseh. Then also gave them 2 packs of tomatoes. haha. Left two. But I finished one pack while driving through the Singapore customs. XD We also went to my grand uncle's house. But he's not at home. Only his wife and two sons are. He went Kuching for business trip. Haiz I wonder when I'll see him again. Then we also went to Sun Plaza (If I;m not wrong) to a restaurant called Dragon-I that specialises in Cantonese and Shanghainese Chinese Cuisine. Sounds hungry arh? ^^ After that we and my sister and my grand uncle's sons (uncle Dominic and uncle Alex
Then the next day, my grand uncle's wife which we call 舅婆 or auntie Geok Tin, brought us to eat the famous Klang Bak Kut Teh. While we were eating, she told us about all those horrible robbers in Malaysia. She said there is an Indian restaurant nearby, where MANY rich people patronise. She said robbers would bring guns and rob all the customers there. Sounds scary. There's more but I don't want to talk about it due to lack of time. (You can ask me personally about it if you really did like to know more about it). After eating, we sent her back home and bided our farewells and started to head for Singapore. While on the way back to Singapore, we stopped by at Malacca to buy some stuff at Carefour. Quite BIG ar their Carefour. :P Then we drove through Johor and back to Singapore. About evening now. Then we went to my grandmother's house to deliver the gifts auntie Geok Tin has prepared for them and went back home. ^^
Actually, I was really thankful for my grand uncle's family for being such a good host. I really did enjoy my trip in Malaysia with them accompanying us. Next time they come Singapore we'll sure be the best hosts here. ^^ Okay, it's just getting late, I'm going to bed soon.
Goodbye and cheers,

7:27 pm: A busy holiday.....
Hello to everyone who has been waiting for a new post,Okay, I know I haven't been writing on this blog for more than a week already. But I'll try to update more often la har :P. This June holidays, it can be bad or good for me. Well, the starting part wasn't good. Experiencing another funeral is not a good thing. In the first week, I had maths classes from school. So like time flied through the first week. Which isn't good.
Second week I went to my paternal grandmother's house for a stay from Monday to Wednesday. Well, went shopping with my auntie and bought lots of stuff. Then on Thursday, I went to the Hakka Methodist church youth retreat 2008 from Thursday to Friday. Quite fun, at Changi. Went walking around the beaches, watching movies late at night with church youth friends :P, and as well eating breakfast at the hawker centre at Changi there.
Third week I went to the CAC connect camp from Wednesday to Friday (which is today). It was really fun. Because I know many people from the other CAC churches. And also did many many things I've never done before. From this camp, it also helped me know God better, enjoyed talking to many friends, improving my captain's ball skills, and many more... Interesting experience... For this camp, the speaker Matt Piland is one of the best speakers I've ever seen. His sermons are just wonderful! ^^ I've also learnt how to play bridge (a card game) by a bit. This camp was indeed one of the best camps I've ever been to... But yesterday I never sleep so I was like very tired this morning and slept for more than like 3 hours after reaching home. Actually for this year's CAC connect camp, I dint wanted to go... But thanks to Jeanette and my sister who persuaded me like mad, I decided to go cause I know if I don't go, there's gonna be something I'm gonna miss there, which was indeed right. Well, I am back now busying adding people's MSN and friendster... hahas^^ So in conclusion for this week, I did had a fun time. NOOOO, now den I remember tomorrow's Sunday, got church!!! Okay never mind..... And I would also like to thank God for such a wonderful group called IMBA!!!!
As for next week, me and my family (Dad, Mum, Sis, Bro) are driving up to Malaysia for a holiday. Going to Cameron highlands... And on the way back, We're dropping at KL to visit my granduncle. Never seen him since my grandma passed away in 2006... Hmm, looking forward to the last week of the June holidays and I'm sure there's gonna be lots of fun like this week... After all, this June holiday can be considered one of my busiest holidays ever... Okay I'm going to stop writing here.... More to write on the days to come...
Cheers,

11:05 pm: Sad to see Auntie Bee Kheng go... = (
Hello everyone who reads,Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I really have no mood to write blog today. But, if I don't write, I'll forget. Today is the cremation day of my auntie who has passed away on 22 may 2008, at around 230PM to 245PM. I don't know and I really don't know. On Thursday was the cross country event that ended at 11AM something if I am not wrong. While on the way home, I had a feeling that something was going to happen to my auntie lying in SGH suffering in pain. My prediction served me right. After eating my lunch that day, I called my mother, asking her how is my auntie. She said she is in a very dangerous situation and hanged up quickly. About 10 minutes later, my dad called me and told me that auntie Bee Kheng (美玉阿姨) had just passed away. Upon hearing the news, I felt lost, sad and confused. I kept telling myself that it wasn't true, refusing to accept the news.
That day's night, I went to see her funeral downstairs her house. When I saw her lying in the coffin, I saw the peace in her face, finally all the sufferings had ended. I wanted to cry, but I told myself not to. On that same night, my auntie's husband, Uncle Phang, approached me and my sister and asked me and her to sing a song for my late auntie as a last dedication to her, we agreed. On Friday, I went to school to collect my report book, and I was dismissed at 930AM. I went home, bathed and went to my auntie's funeral at Bukit Batok Street 25, Block 889F (if I am not wrong). I was there the whole day, till night. That night, me and my sister sang the song "Still" at the memorial service held on 23 May 2008. After everything, we helped in serving the guest drinks and topping up peanuts. After everything, We went home at about 11PM. When we reached home, I bathed and slept till 10AM next morning (24 May 2008). Then, I pack my bed and packed the things for tuition. After that, around 345PM, we left for tuition (Chinese). After tuition, we went to my late auntie's wake. As usual, we attended the memorial service, and went home on 10PM on 24 May 2008 because we have church today.
When I woke up this morning, I quickly packed my things and left with my dad, sister and brother to church. My mother stayed at the funeral yesterday. After my Church service, I went downstairs to help out my church to set up tables and serve the drinks. After eating, I went to my Maternal Grandmother's house to pick up my mother to go to my late auntie's funeral. We stayed there till it's time to send the body off for cremation. When it was time to send my late auntie's coffin for cremation which would start at 730PM at Mandai crematorium, I couldn't control my tears anymore so I cried. I've been thinking of my late auntie for the past few days and when I wanted to cry, I told myself to control, but I couldn't now. I really missed her because this late auntie of mine really cared for me a lot when she was alive. I'll always remember her for all the things she has done for me. Among all the aunties and uncles on my maternal side, this is the only auntie that is a christian. In that case, I am happy for her that she need not suffer anymore and I heard from my mother that she was in pain during the last two days of her life. This auntie of mine is such a kind person. When I was at her funeral during the last two nights, many people cried for her, from Church friends, to close friends, from close friends to relatives. Many cried for her from young to old.
I know this time when my late auntie pass away, I could feel the sadness and how depressed my mother is. I really don't know how to comfort her. Just now, when my late auntie's body was being cremated, my mother kept crying, for the first time in my life I saw her cried so badly. All I could do was to put my hand around her shoulder and told her not to cry, with me myself crying too. Because I really missed this late auntie of mine.

4:51 pm: Life is full of sadness...
Hi everyone who's reading,I haven't been writing on the blog for the past few days already. Maybe busy playing maple and nervous for exam results. But these are all over, 63% for exam results and maple a bit sian. Another reason that contributed significantly to why am I not writing would be me having no mood to write. I know, a few times I wanted to write, but just don't feel like writing. I can't wait to collect the report book tomorrow, all subjects passed except GEOGRAPHY. I was very despaired. Reason being the marker is very strict. We all know the marker of the script is the Humanities HOD, John Chao. HEEEE, has a bad reputation among the teachers that teaches humanities. Haiz dunno why...
Today is cross country day. Held at East Coast Park. My whole school went there today. I was very bored while waiting for the event to start, about 1 hour waiting time. So I listen to Chinese Songs. One of my favourite hobbies. Hmm, after that I went to Compass Point to buy lunch back home for myself. After eating lunch, I smsed my mother on her mobile phone. We were planning to celebrate my sister's and my paternal auntie's (father's elder sis) birthday at my grandmother's house today. Then suddenly my mother called me and told me my Maternal auntie (mother's 3rd elder sis) was in a dangerous situation and told me to plan with Paternal grand auntie (Paternal Grandmother's younger sister) regarding the birthday plans later. About half an hour after that, my father called and told me that my Maternal Auntie has just passed away (passed away about 230PM-245PM). After hearing that, I felt a bit sad, lost and shocked. without hesitation, I called my Paternal grand auntie to cancel all the birthday celebration events. I called my sister and told her the news too. After that, about 4:30 or so, my mother called and told me the news (again). I could hear her sobbing on the phone, so later I am going to see my deceased auntie. Okay that's about all, I need to go for maths tuition which would be starting at 6PM. If you want to know more, you could talk to me personally on why she passed away so suddenly.

6:34 pm: 2nd post of today....
Hi all, again!I'm back on writing... Cause nothing to do... So I ''talk'' to the computer. SHIT, just hit my knee on the wall. SO PAIN!!!!!!! Yesterday, I was so happy I forgot to say. My auntie is going to fund me in buying a laptop if I do well for exams! So happy to hear that on my birthday on top of an $100 present from her. And my grand auntie gave $20. My parents are IDIOTS! 2 people give $20. What is this I was asking myself yesterday. I ask for a new crumpler bag. They dun wan buy wor... I tell them I ask my auntie sure get then they say, "you do 65% for mid year then I buy". STUPID reason. Seriously stupid. But never mind, I can get if I want. Just that I am saving for a laptop so I don't want to spend it on some bag which is like negligible to me. I wait for them buy, I'll be the stupidest person on earth if I use my own money. I want to buy laptop is also because of them. You know what they'll say if you don't listen to them? "I will take your computer away". That is why I regretted buying this computer. If I can, I will move to my grandmother's house along with this computer of mine I am using now lor. So they can't threaten anymore. The reason for laptop is it is small, in 1 bag. Can bring it to my grandmother's house anytime and keep it there. And also, they wouldn't dare to take it from my grandmother's house. They'll most likely get scolded from my auntie. And also, laptop can carry around. Which means I can use the computer while I am not at home. How convenient and Troublesome-less. That's why I am looking forward to get 1 by December. No more threats from them. And the best part is, when I go to my grandmother's house to stay during the school holidays, I can use the computer and play maple there. Convenient and efficient. I just love things this way. Gee, 649PM already, I am going to search for food in the kitchen. See you guys another day...

6:23 pm: Day after birthday...
Hi all, I think I haven't wrote for about 11 days already. I was so busy preparing for exams, anyway another reason is my father dun wan let me use the computer. :(((( But he's just stupid and lame. Take away power cable... I can always borrow from my sis com or take spare one.... But that day my mother need my com for her office work so I got it back. Arh... tomorrow no school so happy then Wednesday last paper. But I seriously have no mood to study now... I'll study for the whole day tomorrow. But my classmate Isaac, keep asking me to play maple. Haiz, feel like playing but can't. Later if they catch me I'll get scolding and HE will take power cables again... (such a LAME thing to do)... Today's Physics paper was quite easy, POA was even easier. Yesterday, it was my birthday. Celebrated at grandmother's house. Yesterday was quite a nice day, but tired yesterday. Went grandmother's house sleep all day, i guess... So sian now, don't know what to do, and so bored. Can't play maple and can't play any games. Okay, I've said it all. See you people later (maybe). If I've something else to say later I'll post another entry.Byeee.
