Simple Inspirations

2008-12-15T23:07:00.001-08:00

yay! finally have a chance to update. been super busy since 8th of december. oh well.

1. first, let me introduce you to my 2 newest love interests : lego, and solitaire.

in the first picture you see how my retardedness has caused me to decide to try and build a 4-story house.
in the second picture you see why i love solitaire so much.

2. watched the mummy and american gangster with william and annie. they are both good movies so you should watch them when you get the chance. but i'm warning you that american gangster is a 3-hour long movie, and your butt may get cramped up.

3. went to the zoo with henry and my brother. it rained the whole time we were there, so we weren't able to watch any shows. then when we finally had enough of holding umbrellas (mine was a mickey mouse one ;D) and walked out off the zoo to go home, the sun decided to come out.

4. class deployment! i love you oneohseven class i/cs. even though i don't actuall know you guys that well yet. shall acknowledge you wonderful people. jieru, stephsiow, tingfang, kailing, anqi! yayayayayayayayay!

5. jack's place busking prac. pris and grace and ariel came over to prac, but we ended up slacking ;D we practised quite a lot though, so i guess it was okay to slack after that. pris tried to learn the guitar. let's just say she had a very interesting experience facing the guitar, rather than holding it.

6. reporting day! going to happen this friday. sigh. need to dig out my stocking and court shoes again. selene is SUPER excited about wearing the formal uniform. im just wondering how i'm going to keep myself from getting strangled by the tight collar.

7. twilight the movie! shall i remind someone that you're supposed to treat me? xD

8. TAIWAN! yay. flying off on 24th midnight, which is sad since it's christmas eve, and i won't be spending christmas at home. but i least i get my presents early ;D

9. class allocation! 30303030303030303030303030303030303030303! i'm excited. there'll be 3 vietnamese scholars. so COOL!

10. nothing really i just wanted to have ten so it looks nice ;D

okay i guess that'll be all until after christmas. so merry christmas in advance!

enying no money la. i already went broke buying this guitar. and besides, i still need to buy presents.
shar yep i know they're super cute. like me right ;D
shinhuoy with 200 bucks the guitar is yours. and do you normally change your bedsheet every week?
gracek hey cool. okay we shall take photos next time ;D
andre who's your cousin and what did you tell him about me? *glares* and just for the record i'm not free on the 21st.

2008-11-30T19:08:00.000-08:00

okayokayokay. i'm updating now, happy?busy la. so much work to do everyday, so little time to play. i haven't exercised AT ALL in the past 2 months. sigh. and i'm stuffing myself with chocs since there's nothing else to stuff myself with. oh well. fat carly.did this weird thing with my dictionary just for fun. the translation is so retarded.

my sister in a dress! isn't she adorable? i know she's kind of chubby. but all kids are chubby ;D

my new yamaha guitar! trying to self learn but it's hard ;( hurts my fingers like shit. and i'm really not going to bother flipping all my pictures the correct way so deal with it ;Di've also decided to take up cooking at home. i started with all types of egg-making and then moved on to breakfasts. which is this crepe, and this pancake. can you tell which is which? they don't exactly look like crepes and pancakes, but that's not the point. the point is the sauce on top is CHOCOLATE. yums.

anyways. 1 december. wow. time really passes fast. i've barely done anything. so many things are happening in december. busy sia. pre-orientation training, choir pracs, piano, homework, french, reporting day, ccao. bleah. hope i survive and make the best of my last month as a sec 2 student. go all sec 2s!

oh and merry christmas 25 days in advance since i might not be able to use the com to blog anymore. i'll try ;D

rachel jingwen shuen emily shar i love you guys too!

shuen i saw the dedication ah i love you most! BUT THE SEXY PART WAS REALLY UNNEEDED.

dyon i know my brother's adorable. i know i'm adorable too. (not even trying to be modest)

everyone who's calling me a polar bear im NOT.

ENYING WHY ARE YOU SPAMMING MY BLOG?

andre okay hope you feel better now.

qiqi okay stay happy. ;D

michwang haha thankyous;D

wengchen do you like it??? ;D IM BORED TOO. but my kind is the busy kind of bored. sighs.

2008-11-11T17:25:00.000-08:00

yeah i know, i haven't blogged in a long time. this post is for qiqi, who hinted that she srongly disliked people who did't update their blogs, so she has to see the same post over and over again. so here's something new.

10/11 CLASS GATHERING!
primary school class gathering ;D there were much fewer people this year, compared to last year, but this year's was definitely more interesting and more successful. last year we booked the multi-function hall, and the girls decided to stay in the corner, while the guys stayed in another corner. HORRIBLE.
this year we played board games together, told sick jokes and suanned zhongzhen xD we came up with a very funny story of zhongzhen's life based on a scene sheryl came across in j8. quite sick too. anyways he kept trying to deny it (since it wasn't true after all), but when we gave him a chance to explain himself, all he said was "i go gym". then he trudged off to the gym. and we added "i go gym" into the story and made it even more interesting. ;D
picture of me and my friends, photoshopped by enying. gr. anyways i don't mind, as long as i look tall ;D

rgspss08!

2008-10-25T04:47:00.000-07:00

yay! my first post after so long. exams mah. post-exam activities mah. busy mah.
sigh. exam results. don't ask.

anyways, today was rgs PEER SUPPORT SHARING! ;D super fun. 18 school participated. the games the ot came up with were damn wacky and unexpected lol. haha, got to know alot of people.
the school counseller gave us a talk on basic counselling and other leadership qualities a peer support leader should have. then trybe came and gave us another talk. nic and jovita came again! let's just say that selene was REALLY well remembered by them because of her "incidents" when they last came ;D ANYWAYS it was a really really interesting talk. trybe just rocks la. ;D
got to know a lot of new people through this pss. by the way, st. pat's guys are super amusing. oh yeah, cedar and victoria school also told us about their peer sopport board structure and activities too. learnt quite a lot from them ;D vs's powerpoint were super cool and everyone was like "WAH!" everytime they clicked to go onto the next slide/portion of slide.

anyways it was a really fulfilling experience, and now i'm really looking forward to icyl in nov and psc next year! and i guess rgspsb left quite an impression on the other schools today as well. that's good. <3 PSB!!!!!!!!

okay i'll end here now.

p.s. to all those weird rgschoir people out there, I AM NOT A STUPID POLAR BEAR! i am in fact a very smart one since i "killed" most of you and no one expected me. ;D

week 1

2008-09-13T23:30:00.001-07:00

it's already term 4 week one, sunday. why do feel as if i haven't gotten anything done within this week? sigh.....oh well.
speech day yesterday. had to sit through 5 hours of speeches, prize-giving, and performances, and i only sang 2 songs. one of those which just happened to be the school song. oh well. but on the other hand, learnt a lot about pris and stef during rehearsals. *coughs* went for sl after that. quite fun la;)
i'm worried about OBS. i seem worried about a lot of things nowadays. like what if i don't have this, what am i supposed to do, what's going to happen, what do i need, what is tetanus? have i gotten the injection, where's my health booklet etc etc etc.
something random that i find amusing, my friend once broke her arm in p1 and didn't dare to tell anyone about it. her mother only found out 3 days later. wooo.
and yes i'm getting addicted to twilight as well. vampires are cool ;D

i think my brother's getting really smart. he can speak quite well now, but her's still very stubborn and everything. he loves fishes. actual fishes, eating fishes, pictures of fishes. no idea why. a lot of his books have pictures of fishes, like as a lantern for the book "lantern festival" and in "animals". he can even find fishes in a book about a guy called bob. apparently bob swims in the lake -- with fish. anyways he's going to attend lessons soon. not sure if it's counted as a kindergarten, i think it's more like preschool or playgroup. complimentery photo of my brother in his new school uniform ;D

temptation

2008-09-02T01:01:00.000-07:00

i realised that there are a lot of things i want that i don't really need and there's no actual reason for WHY i want it. i just do. at the time when i want it i will REALLY REALLY want it, but even if i don't get it, it's okay. after i while i'll just forget it. but the crucial point is at the time when i want it. it'll be really appealing, especially if something/someone tells me that i shouldn't have/do/buy/whatever it.

like for example piercing my ears. i really wanted to do it then, like REALLY REALLY wanted to. i even got all the jewellery shop names and addresses ready. but then my parents said no and i felt sad. for 1 week. then it was all okay again.

and now i feel like buying the coloured hair wax i saw in an advertisement yesterday. but thinking about it, do i really need it? not really. and when i actually get it i'll probably use it once, then forget i have such a thing/feel weird using it/think it's childish/etc.

i also realised that when you really want something, you twist the consequences in the way that it complements what you want and only gives you the benefits of having/doing/buying/whatevering something. many a time i have promised that i will use something well. 1 month later: i have that?!(and now my actual topic - responsibility. haha no i'm just kidding. but funny how it all relates.)

there's a fine line between need and want. maybe more people should go looking for it.

2008-08-30T03:55:00.001-07:00

OH YES. I LOVE YOU RGSPSBTEACHERS'DAYCOMMITEE! it was really successful! progs rock! ;D and to everyone in rgs who's reading this, i know you enjoyed it. don't say otherwise or i might feel like smacking you. ;D

sigh my birthday is coming. LIKE, tomorrow. i don't feel older eh. still want to be small and cute. don't puke on me, i was cute when i was younger okay. show you a picture of me as a baby ;D

OKAY fine i admit i wasn't that cute after all. oh well. at least i'm quite chubby. ;D

presents i've received so far! a super cute picture frame from prissy-poo:

super cute notebook from enting:

and milk chocolate eclairs from wanshuen ;D. i felt super weird propping the bag up onto the table to take a picture so i didn't do it after all.

also went shopping with my mom at vivo (where wanshuen found me and proceeded to hug me shouting "carly! i see you!") and bought some stuff, 1 article of clothing, 2 bags of food and 1 pair of shoes! adidas! $85! more than 80% white! i think it's cute.

yep. i have nothing more to share so i shall go collate cmps survey results now. sigh, tiring.

feeling unloved

2008-07-28T06:59:00.000-07:00

i'm feeling loved by friends, but at the moment, not by my parents.
A scolded me today, saying that i have no right to watch tv after getting a 3.6 for my jap test and that if only i got 90+ for everything then A'll be satisfied. then A proceeded to tell me that i spend too much time bathing, too much time eating, too little time studying and blah blah blah, repeating what A'd said a million times before. then when i had to do rs (using the com), A made me ask B to turn it on for me. so i went to B who also scolded me and said that i come home late and don't even have time to help take care of my sibling, and accuses me of just being more trouble. B refused to turn on the computer for me and said that i should have done it earlier and how come i have to use the computer so often blah blah blah. i resoned with B that i had to BATHE, do OTHER HOMEWORK, and WORK FROM A, but he insisted that i should have done everything earlier but how am i supposed to do that when i have no time. then B asked me to go tell A that B refused to turn on the comp for me. then A scolded me again. you see the cycle.

2008-07-19T06:01:00.000-07:00

okay this post is going to have a lot of photos. not about concert, though, unfortunately. a certain grace hasn't sent me her photos ;(

anyways beginning with the most faraway times... reminiscing about sec one choir days ;D

i love you toots!

sigh. the classic staircase shot after "if we hold on together". ;D

pris looks as retarded as ever!

whoo yeah i know i look retarded. but i'm not photogenic. (trying to make a better impression)

whoo smiley smiley ;D

EEE they look so cute! ;D SIGH i miss sec one choir life. but this year's more fun. xD

AND NOW we shall move on to weird chalet photos. still of our batch. i'm in love with toots. what can i say? i'm a toot myself, but you know, not in that sense xD

why does everyone look so emo?

here too ;(
stef's cool hairstyle held up with 1 stick. ha i can do it too sharley.

another marverlous hairstyle done by me. it's retarded la, stef thinks so too, but whatever i don't mind ;)

now to the pictures of present for my mom for her wedding anniversary.

i think it's quite pretty la, don't know what my mom thinks.

boredome

2008-07-18T05:57:00.000-07:00

after reading emeline's blog, i realised just how smart my batchmates are. sigh. ariel and stef... aiyo..
today's friday ;( meaning that i probably have to chiong history now. science was completed last night at 1.36 pm. i only slept at 2 though. i stupidly picked up a book although i knew i wouldn't be able to put it down. oh well. i was never really "situationally aware" in that kind of situation.
i have a blank word document opened. i don't know what to do now. i can't focus. ;(.
maybe i shall go tag on other's blogs and do something about the links section on this page first. <3

choir chalet and wedding anniversary

2008-07-17T07:22:00.000-07:00

chalet was on tuesday, after the weird survey thingum that was SUPPOSED to take 1 hour but ended up only taking what, 3 minutes? sigh. they should just do it during com studs lor.

anyways chalet was fun, we had games and photo-taking. eliza comes up with the weirdest games, such as our very amusing ms choir. and the winners for each segment are...

talent : ariel (with her different accents, fiona's pants and eliza's slippers)
Q and A : varsha (with the sitting down thing. and the 2 bs)
swimsuit : sam (with her er goggles and hanger. yep)

we barbecued. wait no i think eliza mich fiona chanel and others barbecued, most of us just ate and complained about our food. stef and i had to leave early because we have mothers who love us too much. sigh. i wish i could have stayed. super sad. thankyou sec 4s for planning such a cool chalet. and anyone who has chalet photos send me okay! i think you should know my email ba... ;D

and this reminds me of farewell. i don't want it to be so soon. i'll be so damn sad when the sec 4s step down. lovely alternate batch. ;( i'm not ready for that yet! so i shall not write the letters first. i shall chiong next week. i have so much stuff to say to all of you!

_________________________________________________

oh yeah today's my parents 17th wedding anniversary! haha and none of them actually remembered. my mom claimed to have remembered it last night, but am i really supposed to believe her?

anyways i called my dad when i realised that it was their anniversary and he told me to buy something for her and so i did. shall show you the pictures of what i bought next time, it's quite pretty. you can guess first. it's pretty obvious actually. what else can i afford?

and when i told my mom she was like "what do i have to give him? i've given him 3 beautiful, smart children already!" and of course i felt so flattered and therefore i bought her 3 tulips, representing her three children. they smell weird but they're nice ;D

_______________________________________________

oh yeah an exciting event occured today. in this event i ate 3 1/2 pizza slices but that wasn't the main point of the event. those who were involved in the event, do what you're supposed to do and get ready what you're supposed to get ready okay! loves <3

okay need to chiong science and history pts. argh! i don't like e learning anymore!

LIKESUNSHINE!!!!!

2008-07-13T05:29:00.000-07:00

concert.was.great.
yep. okay maybe combined was not so great. but i really really really loved every minute of performing.
sectionals was GREAT. really really great. the amount of energy "propelled into the audience" (i use this phrase because that was what it felt like) was like, a skyscraper. okay maybe i'm not good with descriptions. but you get my point. if you don't, here's my explanation :
a) a skyscraper is huge. b) a skyscraper is hard not to notice. c) people tend to be awed by a skycraper. (i feel like i'm boasting here)
GREASE was the GREATEST. omg it was so fun! i know the pink shoes were very obvious and super bright so if you want to make me feel good, don't mention them ;) BUT YEAH grease was full off energy! 100 skyscrapers. 1000. 10,000. 100,000. 1,000,000. how big is that?

___________________________________________

but now i'm damn sad that concert's over. i miss choir pracs! i miss all the combined songs, i- (this is the part where my brother bounded into the room screaming "jie jie!", wearing my huge school shoes. he looks damn amusing) and i was saying i miss sectionals, i miss grease, i miss ms loo, i miss sop ones, twos, alto ones, twos, i miss the comm, i miss the sec 4s, 3s, 2s, 1s, i even miss the cockroach that we found in the choir room on the day of the concert.

but now it's OVERRRRRRR. i didn't even feel so sad last year. ;( this year's concert was so much fun.

i love this year's comm;) (not saying that i don't love last year's, i do too)

but the alternate batch is just super lovable la. i'll be so friggin sad when it comes to farewell. why do you guys have to leave so soon? ;(

____________________________________________

ANYWAYS i have a confession to make.
i LIVE for CHOIR. RGSCHOIR, to be precise, like geog teachers always want you to be.
i go to school FOR choir. on mondays and wednes days i go : aww i have to go for 3rd lang today. sucks. and on tuesdays and thursdays and fridays i go : yay choir!
i fight with mom FOR choir. "only once a week ah i told you ler ah!" "why? i want to go i want to go!"
i love love love choir so much i feel like my heart's going to burst. <3 anyways even if i don't talk to you or interact much with you, just because you are in choir, I LOVE YOU! and you should love me too xD

i don't know what else to say. just that i'm so sad and so happy and so so many feeling right now i think my mind's going haywire and i need to sleep and i need to think and i need to. SING FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC! don't tell me it's cheesy, singing really clears my head...

Look to this day, for today well lived,
Makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
Every tomorrow, a vision of hope
So look to this day, so look to this day
Look to this day, so look to this day,
Look to this day, look to this day, look to this day, LOOK TO THIS DAY!

~

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen...

~

Mamma mia, here I go again,
My, my, how can I resist you?

~

We go together, like ramalamalama, ka dinggity ding de dong,
Remember forever, as shoobop, sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang, changgity chang shoo bop
That's the way it should be, wa ooh... YEAH!

We're one of a kind, like dip da dip da dip doo wop a doobeedoo,
Our names are signed, a boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy shooby doo wop sha bop,
Chang chang, changgity chang shoo bop,
We'll always be like one, wa wa wa WAH!

We're for each other, like a wop bama loo mop a wop bam boom
Just like my brother, is shananananana, yippity dip de doom
Chang chang, changgity chang shoo bop,
we'll always be together, wa ooh, YEAH!

We'll always be together
We'll always be together
We'll always be together
Changgity chang shoo bop!

ha sounds so inspirational. but anyways im planning to start up this blog again. the others have been sadly abandoned ;( too bad. ohh wells, shall try to update this one when i can.
