I'll be leaving for KL on thurs morn n will back on Sat eve. Think my dad isn't too happy tt i'm going for this trip mainly cause i jus came back after 1.5 mnths in France and cause i jus recovered from my flu. ;p ... But too bad ... I've already booked and paid for the coach and the hotel le ... So there is also nothing he can do ... I feel so bad ;p

Caught the WC finals last night. Italy won. But i think France also did a great job getting into the finals. What i don understand is WHY Zidane headbutted tt Italian??? I read from somewhere tt i was cause of some racial slur tt the italian defender said. Tt was soo wasteful for Zidane since this was supposed to be his final game of his career and i think it is also the cause for France to lose the WC. Haiz. Wat some ppl will do in a moment of folly. But no matter wat, i still think tt he is cute. Hee.

I'll be posting some of the pics taken during my 6 wks in France, Italy n London in my multiply webby selenachew.multiply.com ... Posting it here takes ages for it to load. Enjoy.

Hi peeps, I'm finally back home in sunny n very very hot singapore. I am now very very jetlagged and very confused bout the time diff. London is 7hrs behind Sing, Paris is 6 and Dubai is 4. Been back since 0110h on the 4th after a very very long flight from Paris bout 20 hrs. Boarded the plane on the 2nd but only reached on the 4th?? Where did the 3rd go to?? The plane transited at Dubai n we almost missed the connecting flight back to Singapore cos we were at one end of the terminal (Gate 9) and the boarding gate was at the other end (Gate 40) and the call for final boarding came only minutes after they started boarding and we could not find our flight on any of the screens. Think it was because they had alot of outgoing flights in the morning n there wasn't enough space ba. Anyway ppl heard tt the boarding gate was 9, some heard 14 n others heard 40. So we had to run from one gate to the other n sway sway it was at gate 40 so the 12 of us chionged all the way to the other end of the terminal. Luckily we made it in time b4 the gate closed. But guess wat the plane still took off late. Emirates is well known for its late departures. All the flights tt i took there n back were all delayed.

I was so tired tt i did not even realised that the plane had taken off from Dubai. When i woke up i was like asking my fren how come the plane so long still haven take off yet n she told me tt the plane took off long ago n it was a very rocky take off. Haha.

Anyway, our plane landed at 0110h instead of 0045h at Changi Airport n we took our own sweet time getting off the plane n taking some last minute photos b4 going to DFS to get some liquor. When we finally went out to get our luggage, it was 2 am and our luggages were all on the floor instead of the belt and our parents were all waiting for us impatiently. They must have been thinking where the hell were the 12 of us n wat was taking us so long. ;p ... Haha. Started sweating the second i exited the airport. The weather here is so so humid. Its going to take me some time to get use to this weather again. hope it rains so that the weather would not be so hot.

Gotta go to bed soon cos got tuition at 11am. Why the hell did i put it so early??? Dun even think tt i can fall aslp tonight. Die liao tmr.

Will be posting the photos soon ... When i got the time ... Hee ...

Yippee ...

My open book paper has ended. Looking forward to Disneyland tmr. Was doing the train reservation yest at the SNCF station n we had a hard time communicating with the staffs there. Luckily we meet a kind gentlemen who was able to speak english and he helped us with the translation. Turns out that he had been to Singapore n alot of other countries before and we (me, Sarah n Steph) spent bout 45 mins standing at the station chatting with him. The funny thing is that he lives in Grenoble and he'll be there when we reach Grenoble on the 21st. He offered to show us ard Grenoble when we reach n introduce us to his 3 very available sons. Haha.

Still trying to find the route from the train stations to our various hotels now. Having a big headache now. I shld be out in the town center shopping n enjoying the wonderful sun now instead of being stuck here in the com lab using the net. I'll be going back to my apartment soon for lunch then down to town to do some shopping. The shops here close so early at 7, so gotta hurry. Still haven packed my bags yet and i still wanna watch the World Cup tonight!!! It'll be a long long night for me and i still have to get up at 5am tmr morn!!! Arghhh!!!

Gotta continue with my directions searching le. It'll be more than 2 wks before i'll be blogging and tt'll be from back home in sunny Singapore. Yay!!!

Au revoir till 4th July. Take care my dear friends. I miss all of you back in Singapore.

Bonsoir,

Hopefully can get good grade for the presentation as its 50 per cent and the exam today i crapped alot. Tmr got another paper in the morn then we'll be free in the aftn ... Have to start packing my stuffs for travelling le ... Will have to leave the hostel at 7am in the morn on sat to go to CDG to put my luggage then head down to Disneyland le ...

Have to leave to go n catch the bus le ...

Au Revoir

Exams are tmr and on fri and i also have a presentation tmr. Was suppose to go down to Paris to meet up with Clarice n her mom n bro but i just completed my ppt slides qnd i dun think will have time to rehearse tonight. Haven started studying yet but from wat the lecturers have been telling us it seems that the questions are mostly opinion based so shld be quite ok.

Have been catching some of the World Cup matches every night. One thing good here is that the matches are at the 3, 6 and 9pm here so we all dun have to stay up late into the night to catch the matches.

Thx to all my frens who have shown concern over my homesickness ... Haha ... I'm better now although still homesick but i'm looking forward to the travelling which helps things abit. Still got 19 more days till i'm back in Singapore.

Salut,

Finally got a chance to blog after 3 wks.

I'm now in Compiègne about 40 mins train ride from Paris ... The 1st 2 weeks in Troyes was soo cold that i had to go out and buy 2 sweaters and now the weather here is like soo hot and they dun have air con in class!!!!! Also dun have wireless have to use the com in sch n the keyboard is diff from the one we r using ... ARGhhhh ...

The things here are quite cheap if u dun take into account the exchange rate ... Everytime we go to Monoprix or Intermarchè to buy groceries we always have to choose the cheapest stuffs n they seldom have instant stuffs so we always end up eating bagettes with cheese spread or croissant or 50 cents cornflake. I'm so sick of eating bread le ... I used to avoid chilli but now i really look forward to eating some spicy stuffs le ... I wanna eat roti prata, char kway teow, chicken rice, chilli crab ... Arghh ... there is so much local food tt i miss ...

I'm very very homesick now. When i called home yesterday n i cried n my mom laughed at me ... *sob* ... I regret extending my stay until the 2nd if not i could have been home this wkend ... *sob* ... but got no choice have to 'ren' for another 3 more wks if not i'll be wasting all the railpasses that i bought in Singapore before coming here ... *STUPID* ... Its not that i dun enjoy my stay here lah ... its jus tt this is the first time i've been away from home for soo long ... And now i have to do all the washing n cooking myself ... We cooked potato n onion soup n chicken curry n fried egg with onion yest for dinner n it was delicious ... Made me think of home again .. Arhh ... I'm going to cry again ...

Exams r on thurs n fri n there is also a presentation on thurs so its been a hectic 3 wks so far what with all the sourcing of info for the presentation n booking of accom for after the program ... Will be going to Disneyland, Paris, Grenoble, Venice, Rome n London ... Trying to look forward to it to reduce my homesickness ...

Have to stop here now ... May not have a chance to blog again and upload the photos until i return home cos all the photos are in my lappie n there's no wireless connection ... Sigh ... Gotta go back n eat canned ravioli in disgusting tomato sauce n precooked rice le ... How i miss the food in Singapore ... Esp my mom's n grandma's cooking ...

Au revoir

Casted my sacred vote for the first time this aftn. Haha. It wasn't as fun as i tot it would be. It was like show IC check IC get voting card then vote for the party i'm supporting then put it in the ballot box. It was over in less than 5 mins. Anyway my voting center was jus at the pavilion below my block so it was very convenient for me. Now i'm waiting for the votes to be counted so i'm updating my blog at the same time.

Was at sch yest to meet up and get to noe some of the gals who r going to France and also to make plans for after the programme. We have so many diff plans for diff groups that everything is abit messy now. But from what we've planned so far, we'll be going down to Sweden: Kiruna (can see the midnight sun); Italy: Venice, Rome (Trevi Fountain), Milan; London ... We're hoping to see as much as possible within the 2 wks most prob we may also be extending our stay for another 1 more wk. Wah ... got soo many plans ... Cant wait to leave for France ... 13 more days and counting down ....

YAY!!! Exams are finally over!!!!

Just got back from dinner at Marche and shopping. Metro got 20% off!!! Spent like $200 over on stuffs. My head's going to roll when the bill comes and my mom sees it :P

Well exams have come and gone. Got no confidence in any of the papers except for Mind Over Stress. All the other lecturers all chu pattern. MS3003 even worse ah. Choose 4 qns out of 4 qns when the previous sem was choose 4 out of 6 qns and he didn't even tell us that the format change. MS3001 expected to be the easiest but seems that one lecturer chu pattern all must follow. Dong's part suppose to be easy but the calculation come out all dunno wat is going on. Haiz.

Hopefully this sem dun ta bao any subject ah. Can pass can le ... No A's nvm.

I noe that some of my frens think that i have not put in any effort this sem. That i spend too much time teaching tuition and not studying. But actually is not that i dun wanna study. Is that i have my own time and method of studying. Normally after a paper i noe that i will not study when i reach home so i schedule a tuition lesson after the paper. Is not because i got money face ok. Is because when we are having exams their exams are starting too and i cannot jus leave them be and conc on my own exams right. As long as i noe that i got enough time to do my own revision can liao mah.

I noe that they are concerned bout me lah. But not everyone's studying method is the same mah. I for one cannot spend the whole day with a book in front of me n study lor ... unless its a novel lah.

K lah ... enough of complaining lah ... Finally can start serious planning for my France trip le ... Yay!!! So excited... Going down to STA to pay for the tix tmr then going shopping again ... Haha ... Gotta make up for the past 1 mth. Suffering from shopping withdrawal sydrome ah ... Haha ..

That's all for today ba ... Will update again soon ....

Okie ... Was suppose to update after i posted the pic but my com wa giving me probs ... Bought this pair of papillio on wed after my paper as a reward for studying so hard for my exam .. Haha Suppose to get it after my exams finish but i just couldn't resist ... Haha .. This pair is called Florida Virgin Whisper White ... Planning to get another pair online with Clarice ...

Oh My God!!! Its been like more then 4 months since i last updated my blog .. Haha ... Really sorry ... Act nothing much to write so i didn't really update ...

Life's been pretty boring since the beginning of the year. Been bz with projects, assignment, sch n tuition. Well its exam time again and after one year of being free from exams, my 1st paper starts this wed ... ARGH!!! The first paper is mind over stress where the course teaches wat is stress, causes of stress, how to deal with stress ... blah blah blah ... quite a fun course i must say but then how come its an examable module??? Isn't it suppose to teach us how to deal with stress n not give us more stress????

Sianz ... Totally got no mood to study ... My mind's been full of plans for the trip to France next month ... YES!!! I'm going to FRANCE!!! Yippee!!! The programme is 4 wks but i'll be extending my stay for prob 1 to 2 wks ... Cant wait for exams to end ... This is going to be the longest 3 wks in my life ... ARGH!!!

Oh yah ... received a call from my ex-student's mother. This is the P6 gal who attempted suicide last year cos she failed her maths prelims (thru no fault of hers or mine ... her sch set the paper so hard tt only 6 of them in her class passed) ... wah ... she really gave us such a scare then ... Anyway, her younger sis is taking her PSLE this year and both the younger sis n her mom wants me to teach ... Problem is i already have 2 students now and next year will be my final year and i'll have my FYP to do ... dunno whether can cope or not ... Anyway i promised her tt i'll think bout it and get back to her soon ... Really gotta think things thru ah .. Extra $$ or Extra time??? Which one do i wan??

Thks frens for ur encouragement ... I'm feeling much happier now tt i've decided to let things go ...

I was just on the phone with Clarice and we were reminiscing bout our poly days when we first started getting close and the days when we met at the MOS Burger at Jubilee to share our sorrows, frustrations and joy. Or the times when we met at the S11 at AMK central for lunch or dinner. Really miss those days when we could jus meet up to console one another or jus to share happy moments at jus a call. Now she's all the way in UK although she'll be back in 8 mnths time. But tt is a long time.

IA will officially be ending on the 10th of Dec but i'll be extending till the 30th. Jus when i've got the momentum for working i'll have to go back to sch. I act prefer working to schooling. At least there are no exams. I'll really miss everyone at work and all the wonderful frens i've made there.

Its time ...

It's time ... It's finally time for me to LET GO...

No point holding on when the other person is not interested ...

I hate it tt u r able to make me feel happy one moment n sad the next ...

It hurts ... It really really HURTS ...

U r not worth my time or effort ... much less my tears ...

Avoiding U would help ... but WAT would tt achieve ...

U are NOT the one for me ... I noe tt HE is out there somewhere ...

But HE is definitely not U ...

I noe tt this feeling WILL go away ...

It'll DEFINITELY go away ...

It MUST go away ...

Here's something tt i extracted from an email sent to me by a fren.

For Everyone

Learn to love the people who are with you at present.

Forget the people in the past and thank them for hurting you, which led you to love the people you have right now.

When you love someone, you'll do crazy things you can't explain, you'll deny the truth and believe in lies.

When you love someone, you sacrifice, give everything you've got and don't think twice.

You risk it all no matter what.

Everything in life is temporary because everything changes.

That is why it takes courage to love, knowing it might end anytime ... having faith will make it last.

Love is the feeling we fall in and out of, and every time we fall off, we learn to hold on tighter ... hoping that next time, we may never have to let go.

They say when love knocks at your door, open it. But do you know that sometimes love enters through the back door and before you begin to notice it, it's on it's way out.

Have you ever loved only to let it go? ..

Have you ever hated someone and loved him so?

Have you ever missed someone so bad it made you cry?

Have you ever seen someone left alone without knowing why?

TRUE: Lucky is the man who wins the first love of a woman BUT luckier is the woman who wins the last love of a man.

Love is not the right word to say when you feel guilty nor the right wordto say when you like a person but love really matters when we share our thoughts, our minds and our hearts ...

Love is not for beauty or color of the skin, but for a heart that is loyal within, for beauty fades and the skin would grow old but a heart that isloyal will never turn cold.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

A love is easy to feel, so hard to explain; so easy to get, so hard to let go; so easy to spell, so hard to define ... and yet everyone is still taking the risk.

THAT'S LOVE!

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in love in mutual weirdness and call it LOVE!

Never be afraid to fall in love. It may hurt a lot, it may give you aches and pain, but if you don't follow your heart; in the end you will cry even more for not giving love a chance.

Don't run ahead of God. Let Him direct your steps. He has plans and He has His time. God's clock is never one minute early nor one minute late. It always strikes right on time.

If someone loves you, love them back not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you have never seen or felt without them.

The past is meant to be used as a tool for the future. Bad experiences indeed make you bitter but the lessons learned should make you better.

ON LETTING GO: It hurts to see someone you love happy with somebody else; but wouldn't it hurt you more to see that person unhappy...with you?

When you find arms that will hold you at your weakest, eyes that will see you at your ugliest, lips that will kiss you in both instances, and a heart that will love you at your worst, then you have found true love.

Someday, someone might come into your life and love you in a way you always wanted.

If your someday was yesterday.. LEARN

If your someday is tomorrow.. HOPE

If your someday is today.. CHERISH!!!

Live it, enjoy it, celebrate it and Fulfill it (^^,)
