Success!

I'm so sleepy and tired today 'cause I woke up early in the morning when I'm supposed to have my sleep till 930am.. Well, despite the tiredness that I'm experiencing now, my day was well spent and I really enjoyed what I did today! Just before I share more about the health mapping exercise today, I'm going to spend a few minutes/seconds ranting about my mum and sister (more about my mum actually).

The moment I woke up this morning, I was highly annoyed by my mum's scolding and nagging about why I have to put in so much time and effort in voluntary work and not proper work that can gives you a payout. I seriously cannot stand her attitude towards voluntary work and it's really bugging me very much. I don't freaking give a damn about money, I just wanna help because every human being needs someone to help there. We are not super hero or whatsoever. What's wrong with helping? I seriously hate going back to a house which has no sense of empathy and care for the others at all. I don't really talk much to my mum now. It's really pointless to make her think that voluntary work is good, and that, I'm really enjoying my course. Oh whatever, I'm not going to quit my course just because you tell me to. If you don't understand me, fine, I wouldn't beg you for that as long as you just leave me along and let me pursue what I really want in life. 

And for my sister, I would have given her a few tight slaps last night if my level of tolerance is not high enough. I don't want to be responsible for her homework/studies. It sucks having to sit beside her for HOURS just to stare at her while she completes her homework. Is there really a need for me to tell her everything when she has tuition and that her teacher has already gone through the worksheets in class? She asks me every single freaking question and wants me to explain to her. Sorry, I ain't have that kind of patience. For every single sentence that came out from my mouth, she will complain it to my mum and make things hard for me T_T so much for being my sister. Screw it.

I shall just leave this 2 ladies alone and have them out of my life for the time being till I'm feeling better. I just hate talking to them now. I'd rather talk to my computer.. Well, I really love today (excluding the part in which I got scolded early in the morning) 'cause I get to see all my classmates (not all, most of them) and to help with the health mapping exercise! I really love to strike a conversation with the elderly, although sometimes they don't really understand what I say, I enjoy that very particular moment when they share their stories with me. It's heartwarming to see that some elderly are so friendly! I really pity those who got abandoned by their child or something disastrous happened to his/her spouse.. I'm really touched by their words when they thanked us continuously for taking the time to care for their health. I'm moved by them. 

Working with elderly can be a tough job, but I believe that with the patience and passion, nothing is too tough to handle. It's just a matter of communication and understanding. We all take time to understand someone, and can't blame someone for being hostile to us in the beginning.. It's just a form of self defense against strangers. Anyway, I was really thirsty after a few rounds of questioning since most of them are Chinese or they speak Canto. My group members can't speak Canto and for Chinese, Teddy's Chinese isn't good so he "pushed" the survey questions to me. But after a few rounds, his Chinese got better! :D Good for you Teddy! 

Overall, today has been a really great and awesome day for me! I feel glad to be able to see my classmates again! :) I can't believe I'm falling asleep soon. Seems like I need a cold bath to wake me up! Whee~ Off to shower now, peace out! xoxo

PS, to all my classmates who've participated in today's health mapping exercise, well done and good job! It's really glad to see that we as a class are coming together and help those who need our help! For everyone who's there, I'm really glad to see such passionate voluntary workers! Singapore certainly needs more of such people! 

LIKE A BOSS.

I really like this phrase "LIKE A BOSS" a lot! It makes me feel superior, in some sense. It's a very versatile word, you can apply it to every sentence. I like the phrase "like a boss" because it makes me sounds like a boss, and people will start to treat me like a boss, which makes me feel like a boss. But the fact is that I don't act like a boss, because acting like a boss is acting you to be mean to your employees. I don't want to act like a boss who is mean, therefore, I only act like a boss in the right manner :D Okay, that doesn't really make sense, but I'm having fun!

In any case, you can just add in the phrase to let people have the feeling of "Woah, you're amazing/superior/powerful". Well, imagine saying this 2 sentences, "I'm eating chips" and "I'm eating chips like a boss." I'm sure the 2nd sentence will have the "WOAH" effect (at least 80% accurate when I say this). I have no idea why I'm sharing this, I just find it amusing and fun! I'm updating my blog like a boss. I'm doing everything like a boss, BECAUSE I AM THE BOSS (in my own world). I'm never the "boss" in my family, which is a sad thing 'cause all your words are being regarded as "useless" or "nonsensical".

Anyway, I'm headed to school today for badminton with Mike and Winsome :D It feels great to go back to school once again after staying at home for such a long time. I miss school, for once! Mike initiated to play a match with me, so we played 3 sets and I won 2 sets. I played like a boss and win like a boss. (This post is going to be filled with the phrase "like a boss", bear with it for a little while!) It's fun to see how he was getting all touchy when he missed the shuttlecocks. It was tiring, but I enjoyed it. I love doing things that make me happy!


Seriously, I'm already 17, I don't understand why I still have curfews when I go out, and what's worst, I actually follow the curfews my mum set for me. She is that fearsome in my life. Oh no, I honestly hate having curfews when I'm out with friends. It's like you're in jail, no freedom at all. Anyway, I'm seriously, really, extremely, honestly, like a boss-ingly mad at my mum! Why is she so against me doing voluntary work?! Why is she putting me down when all I want is to help people? I don't mind helping others and not getting anything in return. I'm happy when I help people, why is her mind filled with money?! I want to help people, I want to improve their lives, I want to make a change, I want to give back to the society. Why does she always have to stop me from doing something I love? It's getting out of hand, and she's way to unreasonable. Why can't she just think in the manner that humans are not invincible, we need other people's help! WHY CAN'T SHE FREAKING UNDERSTAND? MONEY IS NOT IMPORTANT TO ME! My blood is boiling like a boss when I typed this -.- I shall go and spend some time to try to think in my mum's position. PILLOW METHOD. Gonna empathize like a boss!

Peace out mates! xoxo

Wishes.

I came up with this title when my friend told me she saw shooting star(s) earlier on :D It'a a good sign to see shooting stars, at least it makes you feel that you are lucky enough to spot one. I haven't seen a single shooting star in my life. I did actually, on shows, but it's not counted. It's so fake. I want to see a real one, a real shooting star so that I can make my wishes come true. AND A RAINBOW TOO! It has been ages since I've seen a rainbow.. I miss it. It's a beautiful view!

Anyway, I was wondering, what wishes I will make if I were to encounter a shooting star. There's so many things I want them to happen, and I think I will really contemplate for a long time before deciding what wish to make. By the time I've decided, the shooting star will be long gone! Maybe human race is just greedy and wants many wishes to come true. There's so many things that I want to wish for, really a lot. If I'm only give a chance, I will wish that everyone will have a healthy body :) With a healthy body, people can achieve what they want. Oh well, when will I ever encounter a shooting star?

I'm too tired to type any further, really tired and sleepy tonight >.< Peace out! xoxo

Stoning.

That title accurately reflects the level of enjoyment and excitement and entertainment I have in my life right now, not to a very serious extent, but serious enough to make me diagnose with the "I'm bored so I'm all random" disease. I'm extremely bored at home, and I'm finding ways to entertain myself, which I think, failed terribly! I didn't know trying to create entertainment for oneself can be this tough, I shall never apply for an entertainer job, I would be sacked within minutes >_>

Maybe today is a little special than the other days, since I get to leave my house and take a breather outside. I went to my uncle's shop today and wanted to help him with his business (he's selling tidbits), but I didn't manage to say since there was little customers so my uncle said that I can go home. I went there with my mum and aunt by the way and we took a cab there. The entire journey was suffering, it was like riding on a car that is installed with the latest and hottest sauna you can ever imagine. The taxi's air conditioner was spoiled so I have to tolerate the heat, not only that, the window was actually lowered down so that wind can enter. I don't mind that, but the exhaust gases from the cars can kill me, it's like the most vicious form of suffocation. Oh well, I managed to reach there alive, still in one piece. The only thing that bothered me after I alighted was my motion sickness, it has been with me for years. Whenever I get out of a car or taxi (bus, ship and plane are not that serious), I would have the nauseous feeling and my face will be like "I'm going to die any moment soon". It's so so terrible!

Never mind about that part, it's not really that important. Oh, and I dragged my mum and aunt to Pastamania this afternoon because I was craving for some really nice and tasty pasta. It's pretty obvious to me that they've not entered this shop before because they have no idea that we need to make the order on our own. I helped them order the mushroom soup and my mum was like, "This soup has such a strong milk smell." And my aunt finished the soup within seconds without waiting for the garlic bread! So when the garlic bread came, my mum gave my aunt the "I told you not to drink so fast" look :D It's so just epic! I snapped 2 photos of my mum and she didn't realised it at all. I've found my new job! PHOTO NINJA (to put it in layman terms, it means paparazzi) It's fun!

I sent my mum & aunt to the bus interchange and made my way to meet my "half blood sister" and friends. They were at the arcade when I found them, and all 3 of them have the "Omg, the arcade is my childhood place, I'll never want to leave" attitude in that! It's cute! Arcade is a really good place for teens to heal their "deprived childhood syndrome". It's good that I didn't go as crazy as them since arcade isn't really the kind of places I like, I prefer outdoor, like beaches, parks etc.

Overall, today is quite a good day for me :D I'm so sleepy now >.< Shall end here, peace out! xoxo

FIRE IN THE HOLE!

That title made me giggled for some reason because it reminds me of this particular guy in my class during secondary school. He simply looks to fight with others and quarrel with people. I remembered there was this once when he picked a fight with someone, and he was on the verge of breaking down. Just at that moment, he spotted a correction tape (it's just one freaking correction tape actually) and out of anger, he aimed and "fired" that correction tape out of the classroom, shouting "FIRE IN THE HOLE". So I guess he assumed that he was in an army training or having a war with someone >_> it's just an epic moment! Whee~

Back to the main topic that I wanna say, so today's Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival. OH YES! IT'S CALLED MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL. How can I ever forget about its name? Seriously, I think Mooncake Festival sounds cooler! :D In any case, the ambiance in Singapore when it comes to festive seasons is totally quiet and dull. There's isn't any celebration mood or atmosphere around. It's supposed to a joyous occasion where families gather to enjoy today, have a chit chat season with one another while savoring the mooncakes and tea. Of course, to enjoy the moonlight! BUT NO! I don't see it at all :( and it makes me sad because mid autumn festival is one of the coolest time of the year! Oh well, it just seems to be that today is just another normal day where kids go to school, poly students having their holidays and adults preoccupying themselves in work. Heading to work and going to school are redundant today! I THINK A HOLIDAY IS NEEDED FOR THIS FESTIVAL, to promote family bonding. It wouldn't kill not attending school or going to work for a day, take a break, take a chill pill Singaporeans! People need to learn to relax at times because there's no limit to the amount of workload we are going to encounter.. CHILL!

Anyway, I'm going to work ( I prefer using the term "help out") at my uncle's shop at BEDOK. Like omfg, it's BEDOK, a place that is 23124819 miles away from me. Well, actually not that serious, I just like to exaggerate stuff for some reasons, but still, it's so far away from where I live in. SAVE ME PLEASE~ My aunt said she is going to pay me $4.50/hour and I said $5/hour because 5 is a whole number. And if I were to work for 7 hours a day with a pay of $4.50/hour, that extra 50cents over there makes me feel uncomfortable. I prefer seeing whole number amount! I don't think I'm alone in that right? In any case, I'm going to the shop with my aunt & mum tomorrow, and well, hopefully my uncle is willing to employ me. I thought holiday is just going to get by without me finding a job. BUT I SEE LIGHT NOW! I shall give my mum all the money I've earned, it's the right thing to do!

Alright, I'm currently obsessed with the boy band named "One Direction" or 1D (We have 4D here in Singapore -.- 'kay, that's lame). It's a group with 5 teen boys around my age, yeah! Hot stuff up for grab! Just kidding! Anyway, do listen to their song, "WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL"! It's a really nice and catchy song. You will love it (maybe xD) That's all for today! Peace out! xoxo

LMAO.

I do not have any nice title to put for this post and it just so happened that "LMAO" came to my mind, so yeah! Bam! There is it, up there! Anyway, I'm like happy and sad today. Let me explain myself..

Alright, so I kinda had a sleepless night last night because of Roger Federer's match. I was hoping that he will win and secure a place in the finals, but to my huge disappointment, he did now. Well, I'm sure he did his best and played to his best ability. When I read about his defeat this morning from Twitter, I almost cried. I thought he would win :( I'm really sad that he didn't, but there's always next time! Go for it Federer! I believe in you!

I got myself an orange flavored mooncake today! Whee~ so excited since this is like my first snow skin mooncake! I'm so eager to eat it! I shall eat it once I'm done blogging! I love mooncakes! This is going to be a short post because I have no idea what to blog about. Oh well, shall share with you the mooncake, VIRTUALLY!

It looks so tasty! I love the colour! I'm off to savor my mooncake now! Peace out! xoxo

Meaningful Day.

Whee~ I'm so happy that I've spent my day meaningfully :D It was a great experience and a meaningful activity to be able to help the animals and raise funds for them, and of course to raise awareness to the public towards animal abuse. I really hope that more people will be aware of this issue and prevent cruelty to the animals. Not only humans need respect, not only humans have dignity, animals have to. We should treat them with care, concern, love and respect!

Anyway, I really enjoyed the entire flag day process because I get to see the reactions of people when I'm approached them for the donation! Like through their nonverbal (I do pay attention during lectures!) I can know whether they are donating willingly. I like it when people approach me automatically, with a SMILE and not a frown! Some people approached me without me asking for donation, but they gave me the "I'm donating because I pity you" look or "Get away from me after I've donate to you" look or "Oh no, better donate before they pester me" look. I don't need you to pity, I'd rather you don't donate if you feel forced.. It's for the animals, not for me, so I don't need your pity and giving is a virtue. Such disappointment for me when I get rejected for so many times today, pretty disheartened because I expected a kinder human nature in this society. Maybe my expectations were a little too high, but animals are human's friends, shouldn't we help them too? It's not like we are asking them to donate their entire asset, it's just whatever they can, even if it's like 5cents, it's good enough. Help within your boundary, and you will be respected for that. Okay, I should stop ranting, perhaps they are in a rush of time or really have no spare money to donate, at least some people rejected with a smile.

Though there's some disappointment along the way, there's also some donors who managed to put a smile on face. Like those people who came forward to me with a smile, those who donated generously (a few of them donated $10), those who actually bother to acknowledge my presence, and those who thanked for me thanking them. These people made my day and made me realized that there's still a slight hope for a more generous society in the future. I love how some people are so enthusiastic when I told them that the flag day was organised to help SPCA, and they donated without any hesitation! And I really like this bus uncle, he was like "Oh, donation! Wait let me check if I have coins. Ummm, is 10cent alright?" (because that's the only coin he has). So I smiled and thanked him. A few minutes later, he returned and said to me, "Eh, you recognize me right? Haha. You're doing a good job, keep it up. God bless! " This sentence just lit up a smile on my face. Though he didn't donate much, but his encouraging words kept going since my legs are giving up on me.

Oh, and something really shocked me! There's this woman wearing army uniform, who suddenly stood in front of an open space, and shouted across to the mall's security guard, "F***, I smoke you call police for what? You got no balls is it? I've got balls (pointed at her "balls"), come down here and talk. Don't stand there. Stupid old man" I was taken aback by her words greatly, and I quickly moved away. She scared the living shit out of me! She then walked away after shouting for some time and stood across the road with the face which seemingly means "You watch out, I'm going to come after you. Stupid old man". Her fierce look was fierce enough to scare a tiger/lion/crocodile away O_O

Anyway, a big thank you to all the people who have donated and also to those who have helped today! I really like it when so many people are willing to sacrifice their Saturday to help out today! Whee~

Mushroom Killer.

Whee~ I'm back to post again, because as usual, I am rotting at home, with nothing to do. I'm waiting for 11pm so that I can lay on my bed and enjoy the tennis matches :D

Alright, so I caught a mushroom killer earlier and have sufficient evidence to prove that she killed an innocent mushroom by placing it in her mouth, chew it, swallow it, digest it and "releasing" it through her big business time. Yes, sufficient and concrete evidence to arrest her. I sound like a detective, a crazy, weird detective that solve cases about mushroom. Oh no, I pity the mushroom :( R.I.P, you will always be remembered. How can someone be so evil to kill a mushroom which did nothing to her? It's just an innocent mushroom who wish to be stayed on the plate during dinner time for people to admire, and yet, someone had to take away its wish. What a sad story to hear...

Okay, I swear that was totally just crapping. It's just something stupid I created when my "half blood sister" (actually not even half blood, I said that just to please her. I don't mean it :P ) stole a mushroom and eat it. Due to the high level of boredom I was facing, I created an unreal story based on that.. I have no idea the consequences of being extremely bored can be this serious..

Anyway, I found a bunny hat behind my bedroom door earlier and started playing with it. It belongs to my sister ( yes, this is the real half blood sister ) and I "borrowed" it from her since she is out with my mum. Let me show you my crazy moments! CALL ME THE AWESOME HUMAN BUNNY! Just kidding -_- ( Damn, boredom needs to leave me alone )

I look like some bunny alien from outer space especially when I wear the shades. Like seriously, who the hell wear shades under a shade? O_O But it's fun, and I love my shades though I don't wear them often since I wear specs. This is the 21st century Easter Bunny!

I think I'm going to take a short nap and wake up later to watch my tennis matches :D I can't wait for tomorrow's fundraising event. Whee~ Get to see my classmates again!

Uncomfortable.

I slept pretty early last night and I woke up around 950am today. It was a nice sleep till the very particular moment when I realised I have a swollen right eye. Yes, a SWOLLEN right eye, how awesome. Right now, I'm feeling very uncomfortable due to the swollen eye and I can barely keep it open. I'm typing this in a very slow manner, filled with typos, so I guess I will have to take a super long time to finish updating my blog. Oh well, I will finish updating sooner or later, shall take my own sweet time.

Swollen eye ain't cool at all, and I hate it when my eyes get swollen, be it after crying too much or infection. I remembered during my primary school graduation day, I cried for quite a long time since I am pretty easily affected by the people around me, especially my close friends. It's like when they cry, it automatically sends a signal to my brain and that's when my floodgates open and I start to cry like a river. So, anyway, back to the topic, after crying for so long, I woke up the next day with an ultra big eye, it's so swollen that I can barely see with my eye and I have to go to the doctor immediately. BAD INFECTION! I thought I was the only one with this infection, but I was wrong. Most of my friends who cried like mad had the same problem as me. It's funny how when we walk together, we all have swollen eyes. Good times during primary school~ Well, I guess this time my swollen eyes isn't that bad as compared to the one that I got like 5 years ago. OH WOW! I have a  good memory!

Hmmm, let's see. Alright! Just another SHORT paragraph on tennis again (notice I use the word "short"). Anyway, my man ROGER FEDERER defeated Tsonga and managed to proceed to the semifinals! Woohoo~ I am so happy when I read this from the US Open website! What's worrying me is that his opponent is the world's 1st seeded player current, Novak Djokovic. He's a good player, and has defeated Federe in 2 out of 4 of their meetings. Anyway, I really hope that Federer will win and play in the finals! Sending my wishes all the way to New York for him! All the best! I can't wait to see the match. 2 top players competing with each other, that's the highest level of tension, excitement, aggressiveness and competitiveness that we can expect! As promised, this is really a short paragraph on tennis!

I'm currently trying to find a right time to inform my mum about tomorrow's SPCA fund raising. The reason why I have to find a right time is because my sister just pissed my mum off so I need to wait for a better time before I tell her. And I said, INFORM, not ask, which means I'm telling her that I'm going, not asking her for permission. She is really pretty unhappy that I am doing so many voluntary work, and I am not looking for a job. But helping others (be it human, nature or animals) is my passion, I want to help those who needs my help and contribute to the society. It's something I love doing and I ask for nothing in return. My mum just don't seems to get this point so it's pretty hard to convince her that I'm going for voluntary work tomorrow. Another thing is that tomorrow is Saturday, yes, WEEKEND! I usually don't get the chance to go out during weekends because my mum needs my help at home to look after my sister and help with the housework. Sigh, how am I ever gonna tell her I need to get out of the house tomorrow? But looking from another perspective, a positive one, I chose the time slot from 1pm to 5pm which makes me feel smart because there's still a slight chance that I can go since it's in the afternoon. I just this smart!

So.. 20th September is like coming soon, really coming soon. It's gonna be my doomsday. I can totally feel the pressure now just typing that sentence out. Oh well, what's done is done, I can only hope for the best and not to disappoint my family.. Hasta la vista, shall update again tonight! xoxo

Bored & Random.

I'm really bored at home and I have no idea what to do so I guess I will just randomly post something about me so that time can be spent on typing/updating my blog. I have no life -.- I've been coping myself up in my house for the past 3 days, and it really sucks. Anyway, my parents and sisters are coming back tomorrow! The house will no longer be so quiet anymore.

I think I kinda screwed my body clock up. I sleep every night at about 3am or later, and wake up around 9plus. But it's a little different today, I woke up at 634am 'cause I received a text from my overseas friend and we texted till around 7plus and I went back to sleep. Wanted to wake up at 830am to do housework, but I was too tired to get my butt off the sofa so I slept till 930am. Oh yes, I have been sleeping on the sofa these past few days because I gave my bed to my cousins, so I have to sleep in the living room. It's fun, but the fan isn't blowing towards me and I always end up sleeping on the floor because it's so much more cooling! And once again, I used the stove last night just because my cousins wanted to eat instant noodles so I have to cook for them. I've cleaned the kitchen properly, so I hope my mum won't find traces of evidence of me cooking. Last thing about the kitchen and me.. I swear I look like a retard having to stand in front of the stove just to wait for the water to boil >_>

Alright, I have no idea what to post now, I think I will just start babbling and ranting about random issues that I can think of. First thing first, I am super disappointed last night and this morning 'cause all the tennis matches for US Open were being cancelled due to the bad weather condition in NY. How sad! I was waiting for Nadal to play! Sigh, I hope it will stop raining in NY, and the matches can continue. In any case, ROGER FEDERER IS THE MAN! I seriously think that I am obsessed with him or rather, he is my idol. I want to steal his tennis skills away. Maybe I can hire him as my coach and participate in the 4 grand slams of the year too! Well, it can be made possible if I have the MONEY, yes it all comes down to one point, $$. To put it in layman terms, it simply means, "NO MONEY, NO TALK". Moreover, he is a well known tennis player and hiring him as my coach is not that easy. Okay, it's all my wishful thinking though I did have the thought of becoming a tennis star like Federer, he's an inspiration! Alright, I swear I didn't mean to type one long and huge paragraph just about tennis and Federer, but I just did :P TOO BAD! Just kidding.


Boredom makes me hyper. Somehow my brain functions at a higher level of thinking when I am bored and I tend to come up with stupid and random thoughts that help to entertain myself. That just made me sound like a lunatic. It's okay, I am crazy and hyper. I am BORN THIS WAY! Whee~ Lady Gaga! I'm addicted to one song right now by JUSTIN BIEBER. It's called "Born To Be Somebody". It's an inspiring song, try listening to it folks! I just realized I mentioned 2 song titles with the word "born" in it, awesome much! I've just proven that I can be a random person T_T I need to change that so that my randomness will not scare people away! Alright, that's all for being random for the time being. 12.46pm, I'm out! xoxo ( I'm not really out, I'm still home, ummm, I'm done posting? Yes, it means that <---- )
