In a few mins, it would be a brand new yr but this is jus not the best to party and have fun when there are pple sufferin out there, and the world still unknown of the full extent of the devastation caused by the killer waves. Went out jus now but still feel this emptiness whenever i tink abt the pple who perished. I am glad to be in Singapore, this sunny island protected by huge land masses ard to shelter us from the natural calamities but my heart goes out to those who have lost friends or relatives to the tsunamis. This castastrophe did not happen to them, it happened to us and the least we can do now is to abandon the partyin mood and take on yr 2005 in silence in respect to those who lost their lives to the killer waves. Everybody, if u are readin this, pls spend one minute in silence and grieve fer the dead. Thank You. In addition, pls donate generously to the victims.

Haha, met up wif my bro, gb todae and we came up with a new theory, as u can see from above, its the first-priority theory, courtesy of yv and gb!!
But before that, here's a pic of the show, Love, So divine. The ger is soooooo pretty!!!
Do u ever feel this dread when someone u aren't close to suddenly ask u out fer say, a meal or a movie and u seriously dun wanna go? U are dyin to reject it but alas, this would be the 3rd time u are rejectin him or her and u seriously have no commitment on that day so u give a relunctant " yah, i guess i am free". Fate sealed. Or so u thought. But well, someone with a higher priority comes along and ask u out and the first person whu asked u out gets rejected fer the 3rd time...haha So, if u tried askin frens out but keep gettin responses like "sorrie, i'm not free", " meetin my frens alr" or betta still they say yes initially but smsed to cancel the outin, u noe u are not in their first-priority list alr...Dun be sad, maybe organise a group outin if u are dyin to go out wif that person. Yup, u get the drift ya...
From another angle, if the pple u ask to go out wif dun put u on aeroplane then most prob u are in their first-priority list and u should be happie but dun be complacent ya...cos it never pays to be complacent...yup, so next time u apply this theory, rem its got a name. First-priority theory.

In less than a week, i will be back to school, went to todae to get a feel of goin back to school...PUI!! no la, ever since sec sch, sch reopenin has never been something that i look forward to. Well, am proud to say that in primary school, i used to be excited whenever hols were endin, gosh, am i weird or am i jus plain bored at home? Gee, went back to sch cos i wanted to wat Singaporeans are best at: Last min handlin of forms. We have all seen on news how Singaporeans rush down to IRAS (Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore) on the last dae at the last hr to hand in income tax forms and wat haf u...i can forsee myself in that queue in a few yrs time...haha Been procrastinating since late last week but cos of my odd sleepin pattern, i jus cant find the time to go down ( and i was oso put off by the walkin up and down of the blardee hill all by myself, hiaz). Since Di Kun was goin down to reformat, i tot i might as well go down oso, at least i wun be alone...haha yup, also managed to change my password fer my userid as i din dare to change it at home lest it screws up. As u can see, i am reallie tryin my best not to make any trips to CIT ( the place where SMU houses the useless, inefficient fools, now u noe i reallie despise them).
After Di Kun was done wif his reformatin, we decided to grad a bite. Only intended to grab a small bite but it turned out that wat i ate was enuff to be my dinner, might as well, saves the hassle of findin food fer dinner...hee Now i roughly know how to get to coronation on foot, its amazingly near to sch i mus say, we all learn new things everydae ya...haha Always tot its pretty far from sch cos guofeng used to drive us there on mon when i join jason marcus and gf's bgs class pple fer lunch...so i was stunned to noe its act so near, i jus need to know the correct path to take...thanx Di Kun!! Went to Golden Rooster at Coronation and we say a bunch of HC gers eatin and laughin loudly, and it wasn't until we changed our seats to the inside that i saw lala from CCK sundac...she called out to me first and i tried to recall her name...dunno y but the oni name that popped put was Kim Choon's, sorrie ger, lucky her fren hinted by sayin la la la...if not tink i would have malu-ed myself there and then...haha Chatted a bit wif lala and her 3 other frens and it so happens that they are from council and yah, dk was from HC oso...so qiao and they talked a bit abt their class bench. Still rem how proud dk was when he recalled how his class kouped another class's class bench...hiaz!!
After "dinner", he suggested goin to hc to walk walk...hmm, my 2nd time to both hc and tchs...still tink its freakin big but u haf been a great host, dk!! haha Some of the places were familar to me, fer eg the fat horse which they errected to commemorate the sch's 80th anniversary in 1999...the globe on the floor and the block which houses the sch's best 8 classes...the 2 pple whu brought me there studied in that block..how fascinatin!! dk shared alot of stories of him being a very fat boy but nonetheless still considered "cute" by one person...but pardon me if i cant rem some of the details of wat u said todae, must understand not everyone have super power memory and i definitely dun belong in ur league of super memory pple...haha It was great chattin wif ya, tink u veri comical at times...see ya in sch and yeap, stay cool ya!!
____________________________________________________________________
I jus wanna exclaim: Cornie is back!!! Missed ya so badly!! yeah!! Hope he doesn't tire himself out wif the truckload of work he piled onto himself...
Was readin a blog my volunteerin bro directed me to and wanted to quote tis paragraph he wrote. Think its rather apt and jus wan to share it wif u guys. Well, but his story is a sad one. Still tink he deserves it...hiaz
Here goes:
A piece of advice to all lovers out there. Communication is very important, the same goes to compromising for each other. It is only through these two things that mutual trust can play its important role in the relationship. Once these two factors are gone, trust me, the relationship is dead.
Met up wif weilin and pk at suntec fer gelare todae...bcos of this, i purposely skipped breakfast ( well woke up at 1230, how to have breakfast?) and lunch. So pigged out at gelare cos todae is TUESDAY!! haha after went to walk walk, suposed to go down to town tog but we spent so much time shoppin at city link that by the time we reached the mrt station, its time fer pk to go back to ntu...y mus u leave us so soon?? After she left, me and weilin continued to go to town cos she needed to change her cd fer "My tutor friend" ( not sure if its correct, some korean movie la)...that ger, damn funny, the cd got prob at the last 6 mins of the show...so she die die mus change the cd. Cute. Went to reserve seats st Phin's steakhouse fer new yr eve (yes, darius, aren't u glad? We do so much fer ya!!), and made sure that the TCC incident wun happen again, guys, no worries alrite. Emma came to join me and weilin and yah, i became the topic of all the suans and bullyin. Poor emma, he had to put up wif physical assaults as i had to put up wif his verbal ones...well, its fair and square. Shan't tell u guys wat they suan me abt. Hope they never change their msn nick as they agreed to jus now...if not the whole world would noe...hee
okie, gettin late alr but i am excited abt tmr...cos someone is comin back...no more long distance sms...hees gotta read my book later...

Slept more than half of boxin dae away. Woke up at 2 pm to my horror and guilt, went to sleep at 1 last nite, so u get the picture. And if that's not enuff, i tranformed into couch potato of the dae, never watched so much tv in a long long time, so much so that brain activity nose-dived to nil. Hmm, time to hit the books, esp fer MA, need to start early if i wan to avoid the same fate fer FA. Thanx Gan, u made me feel like a damn big idiot...and plunged my GPA into a bottomless pit!! Its depressin everytime i tink abt my FA grade, wat the...!!
And to top it off, cornie went to malaysia fer holiday. Gonna miss him till i see him again...will be waitin fer my favourite dao sa pia ( or how u wan the spellin to be). Yup, will entertain myself while u are away...last week of hols alr...how time flies. My 2 weeks of official hols is endin jus like that...sianz

hey everyone!! Merry Christmas man!! wat an excitin xmas...4 ct councillors are playin mj behind me...that's y i am here to blog ya...well, spend the first half of the dae wif cornelius. Had lunch and then i suggested that we jus take any bus that comes our way and see where it brings us. Well well, 133 came first and we went to suntec, decided to go to millenia walk cos we wanted to avoid the crowd. Saw david at fuzion but corn say he heard his mum ( our guess) call him jimmy...he said david looked familiar, weird but yah david got a normal look so its ok...he still sound as gu niang as ever and it reminds me of "gerald, i wan fries"...haha After tea-break, we continued wif our tour ard singapore...haha its damn fun cos the idea is something like a trip to nowhere...but it would be betta if i were on a concession...haha we haf more of this next time ok...hee
After that, i went back to bugis to meet the ct pple fer dinner...damn screwed cos i reserved seats from TCC but we left cos they dun serve ala carte...wat crap!! so in the end we went to sketches to eat...pretty cool place and the price is reasonable...gonna patronise it again next time...hee after dinner, 4 brave souls (and that includes me) ventured into the much-warned-abt town cos of our dear clarence, he was complainin that he still dun have the festive feelin...dun blame him cos the poor boy jus came back from brunei...pardon his poor little soul...haha Well, at the train station, a very funny incident happened. It goes like this...
Me: (in front of the mrt staff and pointin to the left) Let's go that way, i wanna go to the toilet.
Staff: (jus after i finished speakin) To all passengers, there is only one exit. Pls turn to the right. There is only one exit.
Me: Opps, oni one exit.
Hiaz, then weilin says that not oni pple whu noes me suans me, even pple whu dunno oso like to suan me...best la!! Bet the mrt staff heard me and saw me point b4 makin that announcement...so malu!! Was walkin in front of wisma when we insane pple foamin pple...i dun mind if they jus spray into the air to create a snowy effect but i cant stand it when pple jus spray right into the face of strangers. Dun they noe that the foam is gonna irritate the eyes if they get into the eyes? Besides that, its rude to do this strangers. Well, Christmas is a season of givin, not a season fer malicious sprayin of foam, ok maybe its not intentional but at that moment, its looked malicious...at least it did look like that to me.
I am sian of typin alr...basically that's wat happened fer todae...Merry Xmas and a happy new year!!

What a laborious day, continued wif cleanin up part 2. Was dead beat after gettin rid of my old old (and that's still an understatement) desktop and the layers of dust that accompanied it since god noes when...din realise how spacious my table can be...heh tink i can sleep on my table now...haha Well, tot packin was over after clearin the surface of my table but goodness, i can never be more wrong, my drawers were (note that it is in past tense) a mess. Goodness, how did i managed to keep all those junk fer so long? Together wif yesterdae's junk, i threw away 3 bags full of rubbish. Its amazin how i chuck stuff into my drawers...mindlessly...haha
Tell ya wat went in:
Receipts, yes! Hell lot of receipts and i wonder where i got all those...hiaz
Cds and Diskettes, and u tot u almost forgot diskettes used to exist..haha
Metal and paper boxes. And all the junk inside which i refuse to recall...
Paper...yes, mountains of paper. Stuff like letters from banks, universities, schools, leaflets i cant be bothered to throw before, and junk from nowhere...glad they are outta my room now...
Guess my sister would be stressed cos my table looks so different from her's...mine so clear while her's so cluttered...hee hope she doesn't see this...haha
A funny tot came to my mind while i was moppin the floor and was perspirin like mad...it suddenly dawned on me that housewifes should not look like those fat aunties we see in the market...wif layers of fats bulgin at the waist. They should be trim and fit cos its jus plain hard work doin household chores...no wonder its called a chore...its the most natural way to lose weight man...i am jus so impressed with all the housewifes out there...they face housework everydae and on top of that they still gotta pull their hair over wat to cook fer dinner and if that's not enuff, they end up washin the dishes...hiaz, my worst nightmare would be a dream of myself being a housewife...haha nah, that wun happen...i hope *keepin my fingers crossed*...I jus wanna say " I love U, Mummy!!"
To all the folks out there whu wanna shed some weight, i highly recommend u to mop the floor...and rem to switch off the fan, perspire as much as possible and mop as hard as possible. This way, ya get to burn more fats and the floor is cleaner...haha brilliant ya? Of course this includes praises from ya dear parents...heh, so many perks waitin fer ya =)
Aniwae, i am still tinkin wat i can do tmr...wat is interestin in Singapore leh?? hiaz, cant tink...argh!!
Saturday, December 18, 2004
I realised i can't reflect properly in a facilitation settin...can think betta when i am alone like when i am waitin fer my bus or rottin on the bus. Somehow durin facilitation, my brain works slower and cant process thoughts properly and that i jus cant bring across the emotions i am feelin...weird. Now that my attachment is over, i suddenly feel this sense of loss, a sudden break of routine. Guess, i would be tinki of pple like Roslee, Sai Keong, Anita, Ah Hua and many more whose face i can recognise, how they would wave to us when we walk past every mornin, shake our hands when we walk past and "tok" to us. There were times when i felt disgusted, especially in the first and 2nd dae bcos i was not used to the serious droolin/salivatin sight and kinda makes me lose my appetite. It happened even when i went down to CCK to help out on the 2nd mon and i was helpin in the feedin, after that i had totally no appetite fer lunch and even dinner. But now, i am more used to them and its the end of the attachment, gonna feel weird on mon. No more meetin at bedok interchange and runnin after bus 21 in the mornin...haha
Well, besides the IDs at the home, i am gonna miss the gers and guy from my group, esp pple like yixuan ( my twin cos we both like iced lemon tea and popiah and the 2 of us are the jokers la), Clara ( the guai guai SCGS bballer whu dun look like one and the only ger i noe whu has sweaty palms like me!!) and Aneesa ( the crappy TKGS ger whu never fail to bully me everydae wif her words, ouch, i am so hurt). Gonna miss u gers lots and lots and hope u gers will miss me too...haha, i will always rem those times we would sing and laugh on the way to bedok interchange as well as our trip to bugis...haf to admit that the neoprint we took is damn NICE!!! haha
Now that attachment is over, we may not see each other in the near future but i reallie hope that we can go down to help out every week, make it part of our life and a continuation to our attachment. Continue to give and contribute and most impt of all, warm the hearts of the IDs and let them now that they are loved, i tink i am fallin in love wif them, the genuine, sincere look from their eyes and the smiles that comes right from their heart. Not every normal individual is able to achieve such simple joys in this competitive world where we hear of backstabbers and evil gossips, in the world of the IDs, even a simple reward of Jude buyin keropok for them can make them so happie. Okie, so now i am quite sure i will be goin down to Sundac Chai chee every fri or every alt week cos i wanna go and collect newpapers wif Jude's group and oso cos i got no lessons on fridae...hurray!! Anyone of ya whu wanna go down and take a look jus let me noe ok...i would be more than happy to bring ya along =)
For the time being, i shall jus miss all u pple from Sundac!!
=Love=Yvonne=

I won't talk
I won't breathe
I won't move till you finally see
That you belong with me
You might think I don't look
But deep inside in the corner of my mind
I'm attached to you
mmmm
I'm weak, it's true
Cause I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cause my heart keeps falling faster
[chorus]
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
It's time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
You don't know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move
I'm weak, it's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know you met me?
[Chorus]
I know when I go
I'll be on my way to you
The way that's true
[Chorus]

Went to Gret World City to support my dear zu ren at her carollin session...miss ya ger!! Can see that u put in alot of effort into the performance, way to go okies...so sorrie i couldn't come over yesterdae to ur carollin session at Tangs, so near yet so far, i was oni a road away ya...haha reallie lookin forward to our yearly ct reunion on christmas eve, hope this tradition never ends, even thou pple like darius and clarence will be leavin fer UK after their army, will make sure u guys come back and celebrate wif us!! haha
Knowin u guys reallie make my life in vj a veri fruitful and memorable...vj rocks becos u are part of it and my fond memories of the sch will always include u guys...the times we spent organisin events, esp the funfair which was cancelled due to sars, the things we do in the council room, like muggin, slackin, tokin cock, playin bridge (we were not supposed to btw...), sleepin and room cleanin...haha the good old days!! Hiaz, now i feel like i am back to last yr, reminisin abt the past yr...haha reallie lookin forward to xmas eve, so dun anyone of ya dua me!! OK!
At first glance, the 2 dun reallie match, becos im my mind, IDs usually coop up in the day care centre. Well, Bishan home proved to be reallie different, they managed to make the lifes of the IDs more colourful, by goin the extra mile to let the IDs soak up the festive season. As i was walkin down orchard road with hoonie and i-cant-rem-her-name, it struck me how lucky the other pple walkin ard us can be. They can go chill at orchard road as and when they like it, so much so that they haf alreadie taken it fer granted. Well, i tink i fall into this category too, town is jus town, no big deal huh!!! Nevertheless, i doubt some of the clients noe that they are in town, and i feel so bad cos they are there to watch a performance by nanyang poly band and i switched off barely 5 mins into the performance, wonder how the IDs last that long given that they have shorter attention span...sorrie!! Still, i noticed the christmas tree, its so pretty, was jus starin at it initially and lookin at how to lights flicker on and off...haha After the performance, we all went to macs and darius hinted at me again...reallie dunno wat to say so i jus smiled...he noes the truth so wat more can i say? To me, he is jus a lil boy. Period.
Was standin on the bus on the way to toa payoh this afternoon and i started thinkin...abt the past yr...like the pple i've met and the events that happened...sometimes i feel reallie blessed but sometimes i feel depressed...still rem the nite i toked to bro tze xian...was reallie down after that but gavin bro managed to tok some sense into me...nvm, am betta now bbut sometimes i feel so lost and i dunno wat i am doin!! Hope things will turn fer the betta...
Hiaz, and to make things more complicated, i am feelin reallie bad inside...i feel like i am not handlin some stuff properly but i reallie dunno wat exactly is the right thing to do...Wat on earth is happenin? Hiaz, thanx Yv camp!! Dun wanna lose a fren bcos of a stupid comment or anythin...well, by now if u haf been followin, u shld roughly noe wat i am tokin abt...nevermind if ya dun cos i dun wan pple to decipher it oso...
Hmm, reallie lookin to Mon cos can go to CCK home, heard its bigger, newer, and more lively...haha gotta be so fun!! But more imptly, i am goin out at nite...yeah!! Wonderin if i shld watch the incredibles or national treasures...the latter sounds good too...and oceans 12 too...sighz, too many choices!!
Friday, December 10, 2004
Hmm, time reallie flies, its alreadie last dae of the first week of our attachment...another week and sun dac chai chee would be history...had a round of facilitation wif some of my gers this mornin...was reallie pissed off this mornin...a combi of stuff...tink i am not in a very good mood recently...blasted my sister over nothin yesterdae...i oso dunno y...tink cos of my flu la...aniwae, able to jog jus now in the evenin so tink i am gettin betta alr...haha
Tink 2 things pissed me off...first was the blog thingy i read on the combined blog...jus dun like it when pple bitch abt pple on a combined blog and expect pple to decipher it...well, i set up that blog primarily fer reflection and experiences...not as an avenue to bitch abt pple, was cross cos it sounds so selfish on the person writin it and i dun like the idea of it cos the person she is pointin to wun noe if she dun tell, so wat's her point in writin it on the blog? So, durin facilitation i jus told them straight in the face that i dun like wat is happenin and the entry was removed...hiaz, hope i sounded serious enuff...
Then the next thing that pissed me off was the fact that some of them went to the home themselves depite me askin them yesterdae whether they still wan to meet at the interchange...initially there was no response then i asked is it ok if we continue to meet at the interchange and then walk tog and they agreed...so poor clara jus waited fer half and hr until i came and when i called, a ger was alr at the home and another one will be sent to the home directly...i mean, this is jus plain irresponsible...they told each other and never told me, how am i supposed to noe rite? When i called one of the gers i was reallie mad and clara could tell...jus cannot stand it when pple perform stunts like this...sighz aniwae, i hope wat i said sank in and such things wun happpen again...if not i am reallie gonna blast...if i am still in a bad mood...haha
Hmm, tmr gonna help the bishan home wif their clients...they are goin to town..so fun, i am reallie lookin forward to it...cos in sun dac like not alot of chance to bring the clients out...i jus jumped at the chance when hoonie asked me this mornin...at first i tot they will be bringin the elderly out but later in the dae i realised they are bringin the IDs out...well, gotta be an eye opener fer me...but i am no longer apprehensive...cos i alreadie now roughly wat to expect...unless they behave in an unexpected manner...then i got nothin to say...haha
Hmm, tmr gotta start on my project...been draggin fer too long...cannot...this is not good...tata
Wednesday, December 08, 2004
Its my third dae there...and i oni managed to interact wif the IDs on mon...yest and todae was spent folding hearts...now i am master of heart-foldin alr...haha...well, was apprehensive on my first dae cos i dunno wat to expect and it can be quite scary...but i realised that some of them can be quite cute and a couple are friendly...they will extend their hands and hold my hands...this guy in his 50s held my hands and started dancin ard...haha
But i am sick now...terribly sick that i cant start on my surprise...dang!! But aniwae, gonna pia when i get betta...okie gottago and rest alr...will be back wif more stories in the comin week...btw, feel free to go to YVIP 2004 on the links column to read our reflections...tata
Sunday, December 05, 2004
I've got my surprise...reallie veri surprised...din expect him to come over jus now to pass me the prez. Hmm, so sorrie that i din get the meanin of the present initially and yah, kinda wasted and made him so dui...haha but well, i am not a Lit student ya...was, but was a lousy one...sighz. Well, wat matters is that i got it in the end rite?? Hmm, have to remember todae cos i will be expectin something on this dae every month ya...haha
Aniwae, now that he is done wif his surprise, it my turn to get my art together and prepare a prez fer him...alr know wat to gif so its jus the gettin of materials and doin it...he is gonna be so touched...the things i am goin to do fer him...even i cant believe it!!
Ok...gtg alr...tmr is the start of my attachment and i needa wake up early...tata~
Saturday, December 04, 2004
Came back from YV camp yesterdae afternoon...phew, how i miss my bed and everything. Went to shower and had an early dinner cos mummy was afraid that i would refuse to wake up for dinner once i go to sleep (cos this always happens)...haha Went online for about 10 ten mins cos i wanted to blog b4 i sleep but the stupid blogger mus be down so i sian and went to Zzz lor...haha all the way until this mornin...good rite!! okie now i will gof a short recap of the camp la...i would rate it as a successful camp even though there were a few glitches here and there...
Day one (29th nov):
Was supposed to meet at 130 but Gavin told me the day b4 that that afternoon is on a talk on service learnin, which i haf been through at least twice, i decided to give it a miss and go down in the evenin la...in the end, i went down at 730 and realised it's a big mistake...felt so DAMN out there la...becos the 1st and 2nd day of the camp is fer the committee, team facilitators and helpers, everybody knows everybody cos they have been through this programme as participants in prvious years, except me ( this is my first time in YV). Felt so sian and reallie regretted being there on the 1st dae...
Feelin sian aside, pple from Marcomm and VMD (Volunteer management and development) were there to conduct an induction programme fer the TFs and helpers and it was quite well done i tot, but gavin asked to to tink of negative point to bring up fer the VMD meetin on mon...hmm, gotta crack my brain fer it alr...after the induction prg, those whu camp earlier since 130 went to shower and i entertained myself wif my free-incomin call la...and i managed to "spoil" a mini lamp post when i was chattin away...and it doesn't help that 3 gers were walkin towards me and darius was runnin in my direction..sian la...they all laughed at me while darius put back the lamp cover...haha lai yee suaned me abt until yesterdae lor...best!!
The debrief was sian as i hate debriefs, esp when they were so DAMN good at draggin it...aiyoh...its not effective anymore lor...sian!!! After the looooooong and draggy debrief, i went to tok to hongming abt the camp and stuff la then went to sleep at 2 plus...
Day 2 (30th nov):
Woke up nearing 8 and we did sang some campfire songs, learnt the YV song ( the rest knows noes the song alr, only i need to learn)...they say i am a fast learner...heehee well, wat to do??
i am yvonne leh...haha!!! After that, the comm briefed us some stuff and we tried out some of the games and basically that's abt it fer dae 2 la..went home at nite and i wanna thank Lihui fer sendin me to bt timah to take bus...it made the journey home much much faster!!
Day 3 (1st dec):
