i'm having bad cramps... really bad. urgh. don't feel like going for class outing tomorrow... just wanna come home and rest? ya..

so, haven't updated for a really long time huh... i'm well i guess, just that the common tests were really screwed up, i mean, i TRIED studying, i really did, especially phy, but then, the paper i studied till 1a.m, i blanked out. i couldn't even remember Newton's 2nd law when i could recall all the rest. damn. and the best part? there was an orange sheet of paper given out for us to make amendmants to the questions, the very first amendmant was to a MCQ where i was suppose to change options A and B, i was suppose to change the sign, but i changed the numerals for options C and D instead, and i realised it only AFTER i handed up the paper. so dumb right? For ONCE, i admit i'm blur, and stupid to some extent. urgh. okay, and i was relaly upset after the paper cos i felt i didn't give my all, i'm sure i could have done better if only i started a lil earlier... shucks and i felt i let both myself and mr.soo down cos he was such a nice guy. damn. i feel stupid really.

now i feel like puking. goodness. okay, shall leave now. ciao!

i think i'm pmsing, i THINK, cos i'm into this series of mood swings for i don't know what reason, and ya, i'm ignoring everyone around me... oops.

okay, anyways, i'm not happy over another thing, and that's $$. Not that i think i don't get enough, though i always complain, but i'm using my dad's com now and i happen to stamble upon stuff i should not have seen, and tt's my dad's bank acc. When i saw it, i nearly died, seriously, i never expected my family to be in such short of money. darn. i don't know what to think, and i can't even help, an i'm the eldest. this seriously irritates me, the part about me being the eldest yet not even being able to help! its irritating. urgh.

oh, and another major catastrophe? i gained 3kg.sick. i think i over eaten at bangkok. shucks. i'm soooo doomed, i think i can't fit into my clothes anymore. sobs. never mind, shall control what i eat.. hehe... *whines*

oh, by the way, did i ever tell u mei yi can't whine for nuts... haha!

oh! and my mum still insists i have boyfriend, and my siblings are just adding oil to fire... sheesh...

here's a song by kelly clarson entitled "Behind these hazel eyes"

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything it felt so right
Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No I cant sleep
Im barely hanging on

(Chorus)
Here I am
Once again
Im torn into pieces
Cant deny it
Cant pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up deep inside
But you wont get to see the tears I cry
Behing these Hazel eyes

I told you Everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright for once in my life
Now all thats left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together but so broken up inside
Cause I cant breathe
No I cant sleep
Im barley hangin on

(Chorus)

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, i blame myself
Just seeing you it kills me now
No I dont cry
On the outside anymore

(Chorus)

Episode 2:

4th day (final day) -
This day was definitely 1 memorable day, this day i will always remember cause i nearly couldn't come back to S'pore!!! Let me start with the morning. We work up pretty early, checked out, and headed for this weekend market where people took their stocks from, something like a wholesaler place? And that market has over 30 gates which is equivalent to 30 other entrances to the market, and basically, there's EVERYTHING there. From household accessories, to food, to clothes and even animals!
And there were many people selling small squirrels, and those pups, there were so badly overcrowded in a small miniature cage, urgh, and oh! i saw those fried worms and cockroaches in the market. yucks. So anyways i bought some stuff there and we started heading for the hotel at 12 noon cause the heat was just unbearable.
Once we took our stuff back to the hotel room, we were out again to shop. =D So it was shopping all the way. The kids went first to get their pokemon toys and all, then the adults. After which, we all gathered back at my uncle's room at 2 and started a mad rush to pack all our stuff into the luggage, from a total of 6 luggages for 9 people at first, we ended up with 13 bags and luggages. In fact, my mum and i bought 2 handcarry luggages and we ended up with many plastic bags. =X You know, it may have sound as if i bought part of bangkok down, but in actual fact, when i unpacked all my stuff, i realise i didn't have enough to distribute to everyone... oops.
So here's the exciting part, we left for the airport at about 1600 hours in Bangkok and checked in at about 1700 hours, our flight was scheduled at 1900 hours, (a lil early huh u might think) but the thing is that Valuair don't have assigned seats, thus if u want to sit together or choose better seats, u've gotta check in early so they can assign u the seats, that's why we checked in early. Anyways the check in took nearly an hour cos there was some problem which i didn't know of until later. We dined at BK soon after and we had to rush cos we hadto be at the holding area already. Just when we were proceeding to the departure gate, i heard my name being announced throught the airport, and it said to report to the boarding gate immediately, well, i thought it meant the last call or something so i just didn't really care, then this staff came running and asked for my boarding pass, so i handed it to him and there lies the problem.
My boarding pass was screwed up, why? Cause the S'pore Valuair screwed up the ticket, so we waited cause everyone was already boarding. Some communications were made, and the staff emplained the problem and said that "she'll PROBABLY" be able to board the plane. "probably" was the word, my heart nearly dropped. Seriously it sucked. Just think, everyones on board the plane already, waiting to return to S'pore, then the flight's delayed cause of a young girl. It was annoying.
After what seemed like a million years, they crew finally decided to let me board the plane but only after i got a statement from the police. And mind you, the police wasn't strategically located at the floor of departure, but i was situated at some ulu ulu place and the staff, my uncle and me started running to the ofice. And on that day, i was wearing my nice nice sandals, and it made terrible noises. every step i ran, everyone just stared.

okay, stopping here.. eyelids dropping... tt's all.. episode 3 coming soon...

i'm back!!!! did everyone missed me? i'm sure... haha!
the trip was sure a memorable 1... in a slightly unpleasant way though, i guess the best part of the trip had to be none other than the shopping. =D

let me start:
1st day -
landed in bangkok at about noon, had a mini bus all ready(thanks to my uncles college, and by the way, i went with my uncle's family and my granny, therefore, head count in total would be 9 and a baby = 10) We were greeted by my uncle's college's girlfriend(who was a friendly girl, fresh graduate, and jobless, but who cares, cos she was rich. *grinz*) and then it was an hour trip from the airport to the hotel, and the moment we checked in, we were off to shop! We went to this place called prathunam(i think) market. We headed for the plaza first(there's the plaza and the market). We spent a super long time at that area cos the things were just CHEAP! okay, so u can picture mad kids and adults brisk walking around and lugging bags of stuff. I didn't really had much from there, though i was eyeing the 3/4 pants. hehe. following that, we had dinner at a jap restaurant at the shopping mall connected to my hotel called MBK(mabrookong,or something like that) and then it was more shopping! Successfully bought my sports bras!!! haha! it was like on an average of 390 - 400 baht, which is about S$16? yup.. wacol brand, not the typical looking coloured ones, but the buckle kind, in fact they had 3 buckles, not wad i had in mind, but its good. or at least my aunt said it was high quality stuff which can't be found in s'pore, which is true. :)
so much for 1st day. oh, i think i forgot to add that i shared a room with my granny and i think i snored so she couldn't sleep till bout 4a.m. oops.

2nd day -
today was sigh-seeing day. my uncle's college's gf called pun together with my uncle's college nipan brought us to this place called "ancient city" and in there are over a 100 places of interest. As in its like a short cut place to tour the whole of bangkok. They had versions of palace, temples, old villages and i even saw a prostitutes room in the past. hehe. They're palaces are just exquisite, awesome, simply captivating. Their arts were like "woah" kinda thing. So we spent half the day there and i think we only saw 10 places out of the 100? Then we headed for the reptile farm, where we saw the crocodile show, elephant show, and handicapped crocs. Those crocs were just so pitiful. There were those with additional legs, additional fingers, some tailess, some with snouted mouths and 1 blind 1. Sad huh... After the farm, we had dinner with nipan and pun and i think i nearly exploded. Tried the real tom yam soup, and we discoevered that thais generally prefer salty stuff. after dinner, it was back to the hotel to SLEEP!!! It was an exhausting day indeed.

3rd day -
Went to the infamous 4 faced buddha statue outside this shopping mall and gave our respects, following that, it was shop shop shop. on this day, my family splited from the rest cos we had to pay a visit to my dad's relative, so we arranged to be picked up at 2, so from about 12 to 2, it was shop shop shop for my family. mad rush seriously, in fact my mum and i ran cos we were erm... late... haha. so we went over to my granduncle's i guess place and ate, again. durian lychee kuah baluh, etc ,etc. now i know why i gained weight. must have been from all the eating. sheesh. after sitting there for a while, we decided to ask 1 of the relatives(the younger generation of course) to bring us to... shop! hehe... we went to a mall called "central" which was like s'pore's ngee ann city, with boutiques etc. didn't get anything from there just that i discoevered the prices in body shop at bangkok were cheaper than that in S'pore. oh! and the 1 thing u should buy in s'pore instead of bangkok are Giordano tees, the prices there are way expensive. scary... went out to dinner with the relatives after that and reached the hotel only past 12 midnight... so that was all for the 3rd day.

to be continued...
no choice, gotta rest early, have to go pick my sis up from the airport tomorrow at 6a.m.. =S

Now i'm starting to feel my muscle aching, after a lot of walking that is.

Had tuition today at about 9a.m, followed by luch at mei yi's place and then the wild rush to buy sweets and snacks, and of course studying! Didn't study much, in fact i couldn't, felt too sticky, urgh, so anyways left at about 4, met my parents at suntec and totally got lost. Guess wad, i walked a whole round around the fountain terrace(cos i was suppose to meet them at the convention center, they were at the world book fair), so i thought i was at the wrong tower, as so my mum told me over the phone, thus, my walk around the terrace. sheesh, i felt so dumb cos i saw a lady there when i walked out and she saw me walking back in again. darn, was totally embarrassing. Anyways, in the end, i still got there in 1 piece. hehe, don't i just loveee myself. hahaha!

okay, so following that, i walked a stupid big round around the exhibition hall cos my mum told me to turn to the right when she meant the left. and thus, i walked and called and when i eventually found her, she reliased she meant left. +.+ nearly fainted, my bag was super heavy already. wad i got out of the book fair? a mood ring. haha! the ring was kinda cool, though a bit bulky.

oh ya! i want to rant about the training on weds! we played a sadistic game. it goes like this: there are about 4 pple on each side, then u start playing like how doubles would play, but everytime u miss the ball tt's meant for u, then u'll have to kneel, miss again? u lie, and all this while, u gotta try to stand or kneel back respectively but hitting the ball. and wad if u miss a 3rd time? then u roll, as in ROLL out of the court. sadist rite? and to add on, we had to plan strategies in order not to loose. okay, it was kinda fun i gotta admit, but not my kinda game. haha!

so, we were all enjoying ourselves playing playing playing, then the coach asked us out to the track... to run! we had to sprint 100 metres 3 times.. THREE i repeat, and 3, THREE slow 400metres.. and because we didn't expect to run, mei yi and i gulped down so much water that we had stitches and they were real bad. haish. next time, i'm going to sip my water. ^.^ haha, k tt's bout all. take care everyone!
