I cant please all 20 of you plus coach and our SDO and at the same time ensure that everything is running smoothly.

Well, it really isnt that bad as I put it but still...20 weeks isnt a short period for a student to be totally stuck at work and not school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just 2 weeks ago during our classroom session made me realise how much I miss school. The familiar hallways, the everyday happenings at Business school entrance with blasting music, waiting at the mushroom and just about everything. Especially my friends. In 7 months time we'll be graduates and the start of working life looms upon some of us, guys being the exception. Boy am I ever looking forward to Senior year with everyone. With us already having hardly enough time to meet up but still manage to do so *thanks to max and his trusty car*, who knows what we'll do when school semester starts? Especially the gaming classes. Chips and poker cards and Aloysius Chery qq.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past few weeks here at the airport has only made me more lethergic and totally flat. Its as if Im out of gas, theres nothing to look forward to, everydays a routine. I'm getting sick and tired of the gossips and hatred running thru the centres but what can i do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank God theres only 4 more days till the end...anyone wants to book me after that?

Well almost everyone... Doing up the deco at 2pm under the hot afternoon sun wasnt cool man. It was sweltering! Thank God for the hotel room to shower and clean up before the wedding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The entire wedding was a lovely affair, from helping the bride to dress and even putting the veil for her! to the photo taking cam whoring session with everyone and anyone within our sight. Of course, staking out the front entrance of the kitchen for food and crowding around the bar for drinks was part of the fun. I wasnt able to hold my alcohol well last night with an empty stomach. And i only had a glass of wine!!! Atrocity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad to say, I was left alone at 9pm removing the torches and lights without any adios from them at all. Only Randall and Mixue stayed back(so nice of them) and together with Mr. Kieu and Ms. Ong we did the counting of moolahs! Mr Kieu was practically drooling over the thick wad of notes in each red packet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ive never seen coach that badly before. He was drunk yet sober and I had to keep reminding him to take care of his hotel pass which he forgot he had it 5 minutes after I passed it to him. before I left he was already spouting gibberish and stupid stuff which had me laughing in the hotel room yet he could still apologise to us for his lack of sanity and tell me to be safe and all. His friends were far worse, singing and laughing and cheering into the night . surprisingly one of them still had the sense and offered to help us take down the fairy lights at the relatively fast pace before resuming his singing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pictures up soon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-4695250869811970688?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/4695250869811970688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=4695250869811970688' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/4695250869811970688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/4695250869811970688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/06/sunday-night-at-wild-oats-was-one-of.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-8924739847072131844</id><published>2009-06-19T07:07:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-19T07:25:07.565+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I guess its time for me to take a break after this month goes past. Focus on my work report and enjoying whats left of my internship before I'm left with a 10 week holiday which may end up in the hands of SGP pte ltd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vast change of culture and environment from Orchard SVC to Airport SVC had me reeling from shock and ultimate boredom at first but things are starting to look up. That is if I'm working at A1 or A2. I get my own quiet time to myself in the mornings at 6am, spend some time talking to God and can even get a headstart on doing my project due in a month's time. A3 is far too quiet for my liking so I do hope that I'll be able to avoid working there as much as possible. A pure waste of 9 hours if I'm stationed at A3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its at times like these that my mind starts wandering and I start thinking about whats going to happen 9 months from now after I graduate. I'll finally have all the time in the world until I get a job or enrol in a university but I've yet to have a clear idea of what exactly I'm gonna do with si much free time on my hands. 9 months seems like a long way away, but trust me, soon December will come and then March and I'll be out of school.

In a month's time we'll be swopping over to the airport which I kinda dread cause of the stories I've been hearing about it. The boring hours, the waking ups and closing shifts. oh the horror. and no friendly old tourists to ask me where to buy fine china tea cups from Versace or American Navy men asking me to help them find a store that sells barometres. I'm gonna miss those.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Its really funny at times when you get such requests from tourists but even so you go all out to TRY and find it for them. i spent a good 1/1 an hour on the internet and phone calling various stores and companies for that tea cup lady. Sadly there isnt any store selling them in Singapore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Of course working here does allow me to see the uglier side of Singaporeans that runs businesses. Especially those at lucky plaza. They cheat these people of their money in the Thousands mind you. I wonder how come they are so willing to part with 3000 bucks for a Sanyo Digi cam even. Tsk.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Anyhoos I kinda miss school. I miss the slacking at (k)orners of the library and canteen waiting for class to start. I miss the teasing and endless laughter everyday. I miss the Sentosa campus with the sun, basketball and soccer games and chasing peacocks who shit around and everywhere. of course the beach volleyball afternoons with tutors and tanning/studying sessions when we have 6 hours between class and tests. Ohhhh I want them all back! Even the projects. The countless projects is what brings us together throughout the night without sleep with all the redbull and our trusty laptops never failing us(yea right). Its those times that when you look back, it made us smarter, stronger and more mature in handling things and thinking twice before making a decision. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Poly's been awesome in grooming all of us into young adults who are independent and not feed off textbooks and mug our hearts out. That only kinda happens twice a year for 1 week each and its pretty much sufficient to make us moan and groan. We'd rather have projects and presentations. That's what make a Temasek Poly Business student. Dress well, speak well, work well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I doubt that we have to worry about getting jobs next year after we graduate. Of course starting up Ong and Sam beach bar will be after earning some cold hard cash and then moving up to greener pastures for our bar and sports centre. ahahaha. Ong wants it in Florida and I want it in the Bahamas or Hawaii. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So LRM-ers! Lets finish up the next 3 months of our internship well and good and get the hell out of our companies! For most of us that is. I know that U.S. people are having a awesome good blasting time at Florida. We're finally Year 3 seniors!

Not the hustle and bustle of orchard road, nor the sound of music stuffed up my ears from my Ipod to conceal the train's rumbles. Yet, I wonder if given the chance to live on an island like the Bahamas or Maldives, would I be able to LIVE on it for a long period of time and not have the urge to run crying back to noisy, moving Singapore...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its once again another season of my life that I have to start praying and asking the Lord to guide and direct my footsteps after the course of my graduation in 10 months. I'm pretty sure these 10 months will fly by with tears (definitely), sleepless nights and laughter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking about laughter, I'm terribly missing my friends. I miss Ong's stupidity and impulsiveness, Ang's gaming talks, Clair's cheerfulness and everyone elses company. COME BACK SOON GUYS! 2 1/2 more months for the US interns :)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-6239720420232908297?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/6239720420232908297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=6239720420232908297' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/6239720420232908297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/6239720420232908297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/04/its-one-of-those-days-that-i-get-chance.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-6826388929173286221</id><published>2009-04-13T11:16:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-13T11:29:01.001+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>A new week once again and just the start of work. Thank God for the afternoon shift today, allowing me to catch up on some much needed sleep. Its not often that I get to do so. Even during off days most of the time is spent out of the house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rightyho. I'm gonna catch the musical CATS! After 10 years of hearing about it but not seeing it, its high time that I get to do so. and when Singapore arts festival rounds the corner I'll be getting my tickets for the ballet. Anyone interested in watching with me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training's been on a hold the past week what with the A divs coming up and no boats for the team to use. its a headache trying to figure out when I can squeeze some time to really sit down and write out the work plan for this year plus waiting for the budget and preparing for recruitment. Hopefully the team can do an impressive job for next week without me breatheing down their necks. Yes, they should be able to do so. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another batch of friends have entered their term in the army for the next 1 1/2 years. I guess time will fly once again, and they'll come out of it hardy and much better prepared to face the world or start schooling again. By then, I probably would have settle down in my job or contemplating quitting and furthering my studies. Though thats my plan, yet I'm not sure if its what the Lord wants for me. Working once I finish school seems like a good idea, yet im faced with the prospect of getting a dull office job or just being a front desk staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, my holiday trip to the Maldives will surface after SIP and then i'll be able to get a feel of whats it really like to work in a self sustained/sufficient island without any shopping malls and normal living people other than rich holiday spenders as your companions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My thoughts are all in a mess right now as you can probably tell from the post. Jumping from point to point without any relevance. Oh wells. I guess its cause other thoughts are just so distracting and you cant get them off your mind right now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-6826388929173286221?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/6826388929173286221/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=6826388929173286221' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/6826388929173286221'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/6826388929173286221'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/04/new-week-once-again-and-just-start-of.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-7634403671003105995</id><published>2009-04-09T22:36:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-09T22:37:14.842+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Cause I have a feeling that I'm gonna miss you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-7634403671003105995?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/7634403671003105995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=7634403671003105995' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/7634403671003105995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/7634403671003105995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/04/cause-i-have-feeling-that-im-gonna-miss.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-6702072014065629064</id><published>2009-04-07T21:38:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-07T22:42:45.595+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SdtmAbvTPCI/AAAAAAAABK8/GCotBzgv3a4/s1600-h/n572121433_2126773_3704969.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321959542300556322" style="DISPLAY: block;

Its more of an interest in and then you make the effort to know more about the person.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-560233171279575631?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/560233171279575631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=560233171279575631' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/560233171279575631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/560233171279575631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/03/mr500-has-been-worst-race-of-my-entire.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-4854142675934704955</id><published>2009-03-28T22:06:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-28T22:22:45.242+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>So much so for rowing today.

Perverts. I almost felt like kicking one today down the double decker bus stairs. Being unfortunate enough to meet 2 this week is enough for the rest of my life. Dont let me see any of you again or else you'll get a smelly stinky kick from me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note, driving today was fun. Mr. Teacher made me learn parking on my own. he just gave me this instructions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turn left full 1 1/2 turns.&lt;br /&gt;yes yes turn, ok, now zam the right hand side. yes, then turn left again.&lt;br /&gt;ahhh straighten out. there you go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he got out of the car to talk with the rest of the uncles and left me fooling around at the wheel. I swear I was moving the car around the parking lots like a fool. Most of the time the car ended up diagonally across 2 lots. and I managed to hit the parking pole down. Gosh...I felt like a bimbo for once. I was making funny faces at my teacher who was standing outside and not bothering about how his car was being parked. Oh wells. Practice makes perfect. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 19 May 19 I shall pass and get my license!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 more week to MR500!&lt;br /&gt;Theres so much running through my head, so many people that I'm thinking of right now.&lt;br /&gt;Gotta take a breather and stare out at the stars first.&lt;br /&gt;It has been 6 longgg years my friend.

They say things like "You should be coming down" and "you slacker" but they have no idea whats going on in your everyday life. I try to commit as much as I can when I can. I dont think they should be the ones telling me what to do after all that I've been through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe I shouldnt even be bothered with what they think. its how I arrange my time anyway. In the end, its I who get the sweet smell of success by God's grace. Go on and say as much as you want abt me not training. I'll be there on saturday the 28 to the podium with God's strength and my own training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder why i even bother to stay at times.

Travelled the whole of city area covering orchard, somerset, city hall and the various quays plus CBD area. Started from took the HIPPO tours, went to Barrage, Flyer, South Pier, Asian Civilisation Museum, Clark Quay, Boay Quay, Robertson Quay, Lau Pa Sat and Singapore River. By the time we finished, which was 10pm, everyone one was stoned.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Day 3 was fun with momma Rosie :D. she brought us to the Botanical Gardens, Rochester Park, Dempsey area, DUCK tours! and lastly Holland V where we had our fill of fried rice. Picutres up soon soon!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today was sentosa. And I've never been to so many attractions in one day at Sentosa. hahaha. The 4D magic was awesome and entertaining as well as the butterfly park. and Songs of the Sea  at night as well. If theres one thing that you should catch, the latter is worth every cent of $6.

Maybe a trip to Hawaii for a holiday and looking up the university there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No doubt everyone keeps telling me that I'm so priviledge to be placed at STB cause it definitely has a good profile and lovely to place in my resume, but the thought of being in customer service for a good 18 months is pretty...well uninteresting, sadly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from that, MR500 is up in 2 weeks and I dont feel ready for it. After implementing the new technique and whatsoever, it does seem so much more effective but it'll take longer than 2 weeks to get it right but all I have right now is...this coming tues-sat and nothing else.

But one can't help it when i've become so extremely attached to the reserviour and the familiar walk down to the club across pebbled walkways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from mourning the loss of 20 weeks of 'hardly any kayaking', today's MICE paper was a grace from God and leniency from Cassim. I swear that Cassim is the most lenient teacher on this entire planet and true to his word. Why we bothered to study other notes apart from the revision lecture...I do not know. Thank God that I was 'kia su' enough to meet him for a consultation on my previous exam paper and he left Clair and I tips on what we should be studying. i.e. Just the revision notes. And boyyy did I vomit everything out once I entered the exam hall. For one, I was late for the paper. A first. Yea Late. I missed my reading time and precious 10 mins of frantic writing but thankfully managed to get into the swing of things immediately. After that it was just endless writing of 12 pages till the clock struck 11 30am. So much for leaving my house early...still got there late. Ugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lunch and study today is something that our clique will probably be doing for the last time until next year same period. The usual laughter and rubbish spouted by the guys and items going missing till things are packed up and needing to be stored in bags. Occupying 3 tables even though theres only 8 of us. Joking with the tutors, Zinal especially, and seeing Geoffery Tai in a Hawaiian shirt. Haha. Ong dared Tai to wear that to SSM next term. Hahaha. I'd bet Goh's reaction would be priceless. *Both the latter and former are lecturers BTW*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its scary realising how fast time is flying. 5 out of the 9 of us are leaving for either China or Orlando for attachment leaving the 4 of us stranded on this puny island as local interns. I'll be missing them for sure, seeing how we kinda managed to stick together(figuratively) for the past 2 years even though we separated in year 2. I thank God that this group of friends aren't a one off one semester classmates and I do hope that we continue to meet up and of course SKYPE when those ninnys are enjoying themselves wholly in US and China. Ang and Ong are gonna get me my branded goods from US and Seong is getting me my iPhone from China. hahahaha. I'll hold them to their promise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course talking about the near future, what all of us are going to do after we graduate with diplomas(with MERIT none the less) is an intimidating yet exciting thought. We're not JC students who still have no idea as to what their future holds for them. We're successful TP students, probably as smart as JC kids, and maybe even more street smart since we have to survive in a dog eat dog campus...knowing or at least have an idea as to where we want to work at or study after we grad. For the guys, needless to say they'll be shaving off their 'mane' in time to come and I've already promised them that...'Don't worry, when you start working, you'll be working for me' hahaha. Ong refuses to believe that and says that he either works WITH me or I work FOR him. Well, I do pray that our beach bar will not just be a fantasy but a reality in time to come. Start scouting for potential islands dude!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hold plans for myself that am afraid that if i speak it out loud, my Lord will take it away from me.As if he cant read my mind. hah. Plans of working in Singapore Sports Council or a resort and slowly working my way up as a successful General Manager of the company. I have goals of working and playing a part in the Youth Olympic Games and being the pioneer batch(once again) of workers in the Integrated Resorts. Yet I am unsure of what the Lord wants for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as for right now what I do know is that...I need to study my accounts to reach my goals. -.-&lt;br /&gt;A D+ will not suffice Sam...not at all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-7711502500004548052?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/7711502500004548052/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=7711502500004548052' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/7711502500004548052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/7711502500004548052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/02/21-more-days-to-internship.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-798070356670478038</id><published>2009-02-20T23:40:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-20T23:42:41.524+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I love my place at the window, staring into the empty street of Tavistock Ave, hearing the dogs bark and getting a perfectly unobstructed view of the stars in the night sky.

That gone will be the days of walking across the bridge to the reserviour to row at my whim and fancy. I'm so so afraid of my strength and stamina dropping. I shudder at the thought of not being able to paddle for weeks, of not being able to participate in MR500 and NCC and of course missing my team. The team that has been my pride and joy since it was founded. 1 more month to interning and God knows what they have in store for me...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-8673730951679955728?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/8673730951679955728/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=8673730951679955728' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/8673730951679955728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/8673730951679955728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2009/02/im-secretly-worried-about-what-will.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-7236959435285478609</id><published>2009-02-05T21:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T21:55:34.270+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I think I'm losing my voice.

I mean as if he was just teasing me and saying 'I told you so'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've rejected SAF Yatch Club much to my own flesh disappointment. You all know how much I love being out at sea and this job would be the perfect one. Teaching kids how to sail and kayak. Organising sea sports events. But apparently it was not to be. According to God that is. He refused to give me a peace of heart, soul and spirit the whole of yesterday and today until I finally relented and wrote the email back to SAF citing some unexplainable personal reasons that prevents me from interning at their company. Problem was, last night I was all over the floor, hunting high and low for my kayak certs, 1 cert in particular and I could not find it. Like EVERYWHERE. I couldnt find it. and I was telling God, 'You really really dont want me to take up this company do you?' So I didnt, and just 1 hour ago I found that blasted cert hidden away in a corner that I would never think of searching...though I must admit that it was in plain sight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So guys out there, my &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;God's too cool for words&lt;/span&gt;. Cause he plays along with me when I dont obey Him but he doesnt scold me. He only hides my stuff.

After a year of New Beginnings, its time to move forward and bask in the abundance that the Lord has in store for meeeee!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2008 has been an awesome year, getting to know so many people in TP, finding my footing in LRM, enjoying Sentosa, F1 SGP!, going through the tough journey of kayaking to emerge successful. Oh the wonderful opportunities God had for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the year had its fair share of woes and tears. But I've realised that &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;nothing is lost with God by my side&lt;/span&gt;. Even friendships can still remain tight when people are a further distance away from you physically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New year's eve was spent at Trinity until 10 30 and then I left early cause Gracia Kor came over for a sleep over! I've missed that girl terribly. and no matter how boring it may seem to some of you, spending our last minutes of 2008 counting down in front of a television screen munching on pizza, the night was nice and simple, catching up and just talking ourselves to sleep on the sofa bed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morning saw us having brunch and chasing Spencer around the porch while Jackie cleaned his cage. That poor little rodent was scared out of his wits with the wide wide world open to him. Gracia brought him to visit the sharks next door. Haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year was indeed a year that saw me having a gazillion more new friends at TP. Priceless friendships that I pray will continue to strengthen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gina&lt;br /&gt;Edwin&lt;br /&gt;Brandon&lt;br /&gt;Alex&lt;br /&gt;Naz&lt;br /&gt;Chew&lt;br /&gt;Lay&lt;br /&gt;Max&lt;br /&gt;Silas&lt;br /&gt;Zhi Rong&lt;br /&gt;Amanda&lt;br /&gt;Clair&lt;br /&gt;Celine&lt;br /&gt;Kok Wei&lt;br /&gt;Andy&lt;br /&gt;Yolande&lt;br /&gt;Josh&lt;br /&gt;Zion&lt;br /&gt;Bryan&lt;br /&gt;Randall&lt;br /&gt;Eveleen&lt;br /&gt;Wing Yan&lt;br /&gt;Ah Chun&lt;br /&gt;163&lt;br /&gt;Shu Hui&lt;br /&gt;Xiang Lin&lt;br /&gt;Bo Chun&lt;br /&gt;Chern Ron&lt;br /&gt;Melvin&lt;br /&gt;Don&lt;br /&gt;Ben&lt;br /&gt;Alfred&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and so many so many more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank You for making 2008 a fantastic year and 2009 and year to look forward to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;SENIOR &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;YEAR&lt;/span&gt;

After months of anticipating we're here right now. Sadly it hasnt really sunk in that i've MOVED and not just holidaying or visiting a home. Its my home now not Minton Rise. I couldnt help but get a little emotional after dinner when we went back to Lor Ah Soo to get more stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 years at Lor Ah Soo, specifically my younger days in primary school and teenage years. Where I've grown up, suffered the usual case of bullying, run home to cry to mummy, walk to school, grow up in sunday school and SF, cycling trips, Ah Soo Gang, Terence irritating me and so much so much more memories left from that place. It was a place of refuge not only for my own family but others, including gracia and hui shi. haha. The fond memories...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its sad to know that im leaving the ah soo gang and that others will soon be moving away as well when the enbloc is successful in a matter of time. I suppose one cannot expect to hold on to time and the past but to look forward to greater and better things that God has planned for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nostalgia is here to stay for a while and im definitely gonna be home sick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly this year has been a painful year of changes. When Pastor mentioned about this year being a Year of Changes for each and every one of us yesterday, I was wondering...how in the world did he know that? But it wasnt him, it was God who decided that this year would be a year of changes for our family and for a lot of people. It hasnt been the easiest of years that i've experienced. In fact, I bet its one of the most emotionally difficult times. When everything/everyone feels...distant, gone and theres nothing left and it feels like you have to start all over again. When you feel as if even your best friend doesnt understand how you feel cause shes not experiencing the same thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But God's grace is ever present and he still sends me friends that are in the same predicament as me. You dont know how lovely it is to be able to share with each other and really truly understand what he is going through as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter how many tears i've cried this year, I know that every one is precious in God's eyes and He's watching out for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280019731482838146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SUZl-JYWhII/AAAAAAAABGs/7BzMFyjZva0/s320/PB297018-1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-1826775786064123672?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/1826775786064123672/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=1826775786064123672' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/1826775786064123672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/1826775786064123672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2008/12/ive-finally-moved-to-serangoon-gardens.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SUZl-JYWhII/AAAAAAAABGs/7BzMFyjZva0/s72-c/PB297018-1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-5077746652676189332</id><published>2008-12-08T14:35:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T14:39:00.926+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Zee houze iz inz a mezz.

I dont want to be scolded and shouted at in the face again and again and again. Its gets very tiring to keep a strong front.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Round ubin over and behind us, gotta look towards RP invitationals now.

SSM is really screwing up my brain right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont think I can laugh away what they have been saying to me any longer. It comes to a point where I do have feelings and im still who I am. Its one thing to joke around and its another to repeatedly tease. Frankly I dont care about who you all are interested in and the girls that walk your way. You wanna talk about it, tell the other guys. Im not one of you. They need to know that.

Frankly, I dont feel any extreme happiness and satisfaction. Instead I feel as if I dont deserve it. The guys have trained so hard yet they didnt get anything. and I got mine because...there were lesser participants in my category. It wasnt a fair win. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Coach was the best thing during the entire trip round ubin. Not once did he shout at me which was a miracle. Just pushing me on and on and on. Two words that kept me moving "keep going, keep going, keep going" Just how many participants had the privilege of having their coach draft them side by side, guide them away from currents, warn them about side waves and wait for them when they capsize? and he could have chosen to help Damien instead. Thats why I feel over privileged and undeserving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;More pictures up when I get them from the photographer.

Alright, so technically its only been the 2nd week of hols. Yet pretty eventful, until it has got my body tired without me realising. Training has been daily at 8am. Waking up is the hardest part worse than training itself. Once I've conquered the sleepy hormones that tell me to snooze just a little bit more in bed, I'm up and ready for the day. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bear with my ranting, providing minute details of the week. Tuesday saw Jon fly off to Manchester to study medicine. It seemed like just a while ago that he announced his application to the U. Probably a year and half ago. But time didnt give us much to wait for and he left with Aunty Elizabeth, Tuesday Night. Matt is left alone at home. Not exactly...considering that his Ahma and uncle are staying with him but alone nontheless. What with his dad in China, brother and mom in Manchester, hes left in singapore to fight the prelims. A lonely affair, which I think he feels but tries not to show. :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wednesday and yst was ferrying to and fro home, school and Aloha Loyang. Guess that tired me out pretty much. Sleeping at 1 or 2am and waking up at 7 for training and then hopping onto the bus to down town east. Travelling sure makes you tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On top of everything, results were released wednesday afternoon. I received an sms, opening it thinking that it was one of the team mates or class groupies only to find myself staring in horror at B's and C's, wondering if they had sent it to the correct student. I had to double check the matrix number. I was my grades alright. Staring at me from the phone screen. I couldnt help but give a yell of surprise and shock in the library. Thankfully there was only Josh around and that got him prepared for his own grades which he received right after mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear that receiving results via sms can give you a heartattack. I'ved deproved. Not a single distinction or A. Dang. B's and C's. What in the world. C's arent exactly welcomed in my report card. They make it look really ugly, like coffee stains on your Jodi Picoult story book. The realisation of my grades settled in only an hour later, on the bus to the chalet. I was making frantic/excited calls to various coursemates to check if I was the only one who had thrown away the chance to maintain DHL and graduate with a diploma with Merit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.57 to 3.41. Totally unacceptable. Thank God for second chances, second semesters.&lt;br /&gt;Targets:&lt;br /&gt;Culinary Science- A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Service Skills Methodology- B+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions-A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Festivals and events Management-B+&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Management ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE-B&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;CDS-A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got a C+ for Accounting for Hospitality and I've gotta take Finance next sem. sigh. Above all I've GOT TO pull up my GPA to a minimum of 3.5 in order for a chance to get Diploma with merit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from receiving horrible results, I'm pretty much looking forward to startig work with F1 Grand Prix Pte Ltd. Only problem is that I'm fretting over the loss of training. 2 weeks of Puasa(fasting) from rowing. I think I'll die from not touching the water. I cant take the whole cake and eat it. Danggg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right enough ranting. Pictures up soon when I get them from the various friends. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-5233809983296060082?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/5233809983296060082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=5233809983296060082' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/5233809983296060082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/5233809983296060082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2008/09/crazy-groupies-it-has-been-craziest-of.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SMpn-ALNzxI/AAAAAAAAArA/U3MmGy_g4dY/s72-c/DSC01170.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-928410447279262455</id><published>2008-09-06T21:57:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-06T22:31:02.337+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Instead of Army half marathon I took part in Sam's half marathon today. Whacked 20km technique, 2 sets of 250m and 2 sets of 50m sprints. Total of 21.1km. haha and I didnt plan it. Coach called me up and gave me my training programme. I almost melted into the pontoon after that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem was the wind was terribly strong. Strong meaning my paddle flew off the pontoon into the water, my nalgene bottle filled with water was blown off into the water as well and my boat itself could have rolled into the reserviour had I not held on to it for dear life. Wind plus 2 irritating speed boats going around and around the reserviour provided the ultimate challenge today. Like as if they're trying to help me train up for round ubin eh. YEA RIGHT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went down to City Hall after that just to spend some time alone curled up with a Starbucks Caramel Frap, Jodi Picoult book, my Bible and diary. I must say that time spent solved the emptiness I've been feeling for what feels the longest time ever. Pondering about the changes that has happened and will be happening for the rest of the year, praying and questioning God and feeling so so angry with myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bumped into Danny at Citylink and even he commented that I looked real tired. I doubt that I'm tired physically...well alright maybe a little, but a lot of it has to do with not relying on God but my own strength to live. My mistake, my bad, my sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my Lord's mercies are new every morning and I'm grateful for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly this past year has been a hell of a ride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Changes changes changes...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Church&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Class&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Additional responsibilities in the team&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Home&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Friends&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;It has not been what I would have planned my year to be. But who am I to plan for it's God who decides what stays and what goes. Moving to S.Gardens will be another change to come in Nov. No more Terence visiting when he feels like it. No more COCO on sundays. No more climbing 3 storeys of steps to reach home. :] But I suppose that this is life isnt it? We gotta move along when our job is done for God. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Theres so much more than what meets the eye. So much more that what i've written. If you're curious, lets meet for a cuppa. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So much more when you have the Lord. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15322254-928410447279262455?l=laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/feeds/928410447279262455/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15322254&amp;postID=928410447279262455' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/928410447279262455'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15322254/posts/default/928410447279262455'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://laughgrinsmilesam.blogspot.com/2008/09/instead-of-army-half-marathon-i-took.html' title=''/><author><name>Samantha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17365411817865766231</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322254.post-7919730424893157256</id><published>2008-09-05T19:11:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-09-05T20:36:26.565+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SMEUjwxuwxI/AAAAAAAAAq4/PKoUFI0TXu4/s1600-h/DSC03061.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Celebrated Wee Chew's and Winnie's birthday on monday with THEM giving us a dinner treat at The Manhatten Fish Market.

Oh how I wish it was. That Coach didnt had that talk with Chrys, that Coach didnt leave them with a decision to make: Do you want to quit?, that everything will be alright and she'll forgive him for the rubbish that he said and she'll continue training and we'll do our 10km in a K2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chrys didnt even tell me before hand. All I got was shock and numbness for the rest of the day. Blame me that I rely too much on people. That Im selfish and only wanted what I thought would be the greatest possibility of winning a K2 race. Stunned. My mind was blank when Wei Jie who was the first to tell me the news relayed it to me. I tried to act nonchalant. I tried to be strong that it didnt affect me. But after hugging her, my screen bravado broke. I guess I was thankful for my sunglasses. I was desperately trying to hide away from the juniors. I had to be strong but I couldnt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last thing Chrys said? "if you want an explanation i'll email you" That wasnt what I wanted, and still not what I want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training will carry on as usual. But I guess at times I'll unconciously wonder where on earth is Chrystal when we're suppose to do pullups. Or my shoulders are sore from rowing and we give each other massages. and the after training, looking forward to drinking foamy Endurox. The sharing of lockers with our bright yellow floats and smelly running shoes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;I still remember the first training where we were made to run 2 rounds. Janis and Chrys told stupid silly riddles on the first km. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Its not just training that i'll miss with her. The trip to Jurong Swimming complex, the conflicts btwn her and JM everything. As a friend. CHRYSTAL WE BETTER MEET UP LIKE ONCE IN A WHILE I TELL YOU. OR ELSE I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0UVqGnOI/AAAAAAAAApA/wHGKV3PPK50/s1600-h/P4200060.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239573477996272866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0UVqGnOI/AAAAAAAAApA/wHGKV3PPK50/s320/P4200060.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0Ujr5FTI/AAAAAAAAApQ/A3MjJd7ajkI/s1600-h/P4240061.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239573481761871154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0Ujr5FTI/AAAAAAAAApQ/A3MjJd7ajkI/s320/P4240061.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0U4VoyHI/AAAAAAAAApY/vHu3kjwQgCk/s1600-h/P4240064.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239573487305672818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0U4VoyHI/AAAAAAAAApY/vHu3kjwQgCk/s320/P4240064.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239573476814620306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Cg9tehjkFYc/SLa0URQYBpI/AAAAAAAAApI/UfJv-u4ksXI/s320/DSC00400.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Disappointed?

Aching body, freezing weather, feeling like a dump. For no particular reason, my back and head has been aching the entire day. Forcing me to cut down on studies and instead commit the most horrible crime during study week. Sleep, sleep sleep. 5 hours additional. Oh goodness gracious, Lord have mercy on me. Help me in my papers tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I concluded that my muscles went into a state of shock. They were probably waiting for the usual saturday trainings to start but it never came. So they spasmed and cause all the aches im experiencing now. And I feel like a 10 000 year old granny with rheumatism. Though its not in the bones. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Atrocious timings I swear. Attractions Management paper set at 9 30am and Accounting paper at 7pm. 6 hours of suspense. Nvm. Sam will make full use of the 6 hours. Practice practice practice. I must, I shall, I will balance the balance sheet and not make careless mistakes on the profit and loss statements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beijing Olympics has come to a close. Some sports never cease to amuse me. Handball for one. The female Russian team's coach. One fierce grizzly bear. the only thing that I understood was "STUPID STUPID!". and he scolded them for crying after they lost the gold medal to Norway. Cold hearted bear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adam Van Korverdann under performed. Getting trashed in the 1000m and coming in only a 2nd for 500m. What got me rolling on the couch in laughter was seeing Tim Brabants biting his bronze medal. Hello! only gold medallists are suppose to bite their Gold medal. and thats to test if its pure gold (which it isnt anyway). You dont bite to test if yours is pure bronze!

I was expecting the release of results for ROM only to be informed that technology itself will be used to convey the coursework grade instead of the tutors being the usual medium. Arghhhhh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Mr. Fernando was nice enough to let us off 40mins earlier so that Amanda and i could run off in search of a television in Sentosa to catch the 100m Butterfly finals. Yes Tao Li. We initially thought that the reception lady would be kind enough to relent and change the channel from CNA to 5 for 5 minutes. Kind was she not. I never liked her anyway. So we started panicking but smart me remembered the TV that hangs from the ceiling of KOUFU, 200m away. Run we did. Just in time to find a seat and watch the competitors stroll in. 5th placing, 18 years of age. She has 10 more years of future. and I'm pretty certain that if she keeps it up Tao Li wont have any problem of placing in the London 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Managed to catch part of syncronised diving while on the way to TP. China's perfect 10 gave them the Gold. Beautiful extensions, points and entry. Simply amazing, in perfect harmony while for other countries, most of them were not able to enter together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gymnastics...the horror, nightmare one can experience falling from the uneven bars, confidence shattered to a million pieces but yet needing to complete the sequence. Poor He Kexin. I guess it took her all she got to control her tears until after completion. I should think that even though the team managed to place 1st for the day, the guilt, embarassment and shattered confidence will affect the rest of her performance. God Bless her little heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right, enough of me rattling on and on about the Olympics. Its exactly 2 weeks to my first 2 papers.

The other half that do...thats because they're only officials and they dont have to c are about their diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Either McDonalds is out to target really stupid people that will fall for the advert or Mc's thinks that by airing such an ad, it'll convince people that it really is healthy.
