| The past weekend |

Last weekend was really energy-sapping but it was fun while it lasted! (:
Starting with Amanda's 18th surprise with the DVs:
 Followed by Athalie's 18th surprise with the JC friends:
 And of course, most importantly:
Arrived at Fullerton at like 6pm?! Cause my Mum and her sisters arranged to meet earlier to take family pictures and all hahaha typical. Had some like major camwhoring, at least 2 hours! Plus the wedding dinner started late.
 
The Family. Women in black and men in blue, we did not plan, plain telepathy!
Okay now Im really too lazy to post the rest of our photos, waaaay too many. I uploaded some on FB though(:
So after the delays and all our phototaking, the couple walked down the aisle!
The newly-weds walking in with the sword party(must bold cause it was waaay cool!). But before all this happened, Edwin had to go through all the "barriers" the sword party posed including doing pushups with Denise sitting on him(her gown itself was like 290138kg!), singing some chinese love song and gulping down some horrid concoction. Just when I thought dinner was about to begin, I realised that instead of having their Holy Matrimony in church, they decided to have it during the dinner. I kinda agree that they should have held their Holy Matrimony in church cause having it at the wedding dinner meant that people of other religions had to sit through it. At least if they had it in church, people can choose if they want to go. Im a freethinker so Im fine with it but I know of people there that were buddhist and they did not look too comfortable, or so I thought. After what seemed like 2109830years, dinner was served and it was really goooood. Prolly one of the best tasting among all the weddings Ive attended so far. I kept hopping between tables to talk to my cousins, felt like ages since I last talked to them. I kinda like being the youngest among all the cousins actually :B It was really cold in the ballroom and those bad influences aka the cousins kept giving me wine to drink(to keep me warm) tsk! But yeah I think I my perception of wine kinda changed hahaha.
Totally zonked out by the time I reached home, or even before that. Was all grumpy and whatever. I still had lessons the next day, can you imagine?! K so I decided to leave school halfway through cause my head was spinnnnning and I was totally dozing off, couldnt even open my eyes properly la haha. Okay such a detailed first post but to sum it all up, I WANNA MARRY A COMMANDO NEXT TIME!!!!! So cooool, dont you think? :B No, actually I dont really think I want to get married.
If all goes right, my next post should be at Tumblr. I'll notify(: |

And so I had a pretty bad start to BT2 today, GP was pretty much a killer. Frankly, I never really believed in preparing for GP. But I think I just got proved wrong today, maybe because I never really bothered to read Mrs T's notes and slides. Sigh, lesson learnt.
On the bright side, I can mug hard for my other subjects in the next 4 weeks! I think Im the most optimistic person ever hahaha.
After the paper, headed out with the OCIP Vietnam teammates! FB is failing me, I cant seem to upload the pictures so heres a sneak preview hahaha.
Dropped by tau huay shop to "surprise" Evelyn and pass her the farewell gift(:
Had lunch at Seoul Garden. I hate all that oil-splattering and after-smell. For the sake of urm...interactive eating? HAHA.
Gen, our beloved Log Head brought along the hand sanitizer which we used in Vietnam! Omg, you should have seen everyone's reaction, totally brought back those before-meal moments during OCIP.
Camwhored with Mark Gen Oli and Fiona. Okay I have like 2193213 more of our pictures haha.
Chilled at B&J with some of them after. It was pretty entertaining talking about that (scary) night during OCIP, though I find it quite hilarious now.
Hardly even feels like the holidays cause theres the continuation(and bulk of) BT2 once school reopens. But heck, this weekend Im gonna have all the fun in the world, while I can. Am very excited :B Wish I could just throw all my notes aside this holidays and just party woohooooooo but URGH kill that stupid Alevels monsterrr and all that expectations!
Bean and Sirhan commented that my FB profile is flooded with: Melina is playing SCRABBLE® Worldwide · Comment · Like
HAHA quite true but thats not the only thing I ever do on FB k!
Rather tempted to move to Tumblr, what say you? |

| Geog, its what you do to me |
[May. 27th, 2009|11:28 pm] |
Guess what I found while doing some research for my atmospheric Geog tutorial?
ITCZ- Its (a) Totally Confusing Zone.
How true and apt right! Its supposed to be Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone btw.
Atmospheric Geog still remains a bane. I can only do 2 out of 5 of the questions, what a genius.
Okay great geeky post :B
EGGCITING MATCH AT 245AM! My 4hour long nap just now should keep me awake till the end. Even if it doesnt, Ronaldo would. |

Team SAJC closing ceremony this morning. It was fine until someone said some not so pleasant stuff. Seriously, that 2nd placing did not come easily. Unlike most other CCAs, we dont train infront of everybody(cause the swimming pool isnt at the JC side, people think we're going home when we cross the JB bridge to go for trainings), we dont do pull-ups at the fitness corner, we dont hold rackets/sticks, we dont walk around in our sports attire(imagine, swimming costume?!). But that does not mean that we dont train as hard as they do.
Its okay though, we dont really need others to know how hard we trained for it, how hard we fought for it and how much we've learnt throughout the entire season. We know, and thats enough.
Anyway, camwhored with the teammates for abit before heading for lessons(late haha). Love the team! (: Ive uploaded the pictures on FB btw.
We were eating our free ice cream cone in the homeroom today when Mr P appeared, the other 5 ran out of class while I decided to stuff whats left of the cone into my mouth.
Mr P: Ms Dong, why do you seem to be perpetually eating?!
K thanks. And yesterday Mr S. took our height and weight, it was disastrous! Im like 161cm only omgsxzzzz I need to grow 10cm or something.
I hope school will get better, its been really baaaaad. Like the moment I step into school, I cant wait to get out. |

I cant seem to emphasize this enough, time is really flying!
(Or in my Math lecturer's way of speaking, frying)
To hell with Atmospheric Geog, I cant seem to get it at all. Whats up with coriolis force, gestrophic wind and all that? Too technical for my liking and understanding. Ahh talking about academics, BT2 is approaching at the speed of light. I need a booster for my pea-sized brain and something to keep that mugging momentum going. Anything? Besides, Adivs are over, I no longer have a valid excuse for getting disastrous grades.
Its 25th May, kinda significant in a way. Or rather, could have been.
Frankly, it was no fault of yours. You put up with all my moodswings, whinings and demands without complaining. It was just me being demanding, picky and perhaps, irrational. But yeah thats all over now and whatever it is, I hope you're getting along fine and yes, you do deserve better. Thanks for all the great memories we once had.
Im looking forward to the day when we can put all these behind us and be good friends again(:
Never thought I'll say this here but you'll read this, I know.
And to all who never really understood what happened, I never really did either. A mixture of "I see no future in us" and irrationality, I guess.

This is really not what I want. Henceforth, I shall try avoiding all possible contact.
I know you're thinking "Yeah right." Actually, same here. Ah heck.
Oh and thank you so much school, thank you for labelling me as an "at risk student". That was totally necessary and encouraging of you to do so. Seriously, I wish they would just fricking get off my back. No one, at any point in my life, has made me felt so stupid before. Yes of course, I know that getting such horrible results for BT was no one's fault but mine. But wth, they make it sound as if Im doomed for life.
Sometimes, I really dont like the school.
Its just one of those horrible days when I feel all so crappy and f-up. Tomorrow's a self-declared holiday for me, I just want to spend some "me time" at home. Oh wellllllllllll I just cant wait for this whole shitty feeling to get away. |

Its like this bubble that burst.
The more we talk, the more convinced I am that this is not what I want.
I think Ive decided. Its just a phase, right?
The next moment, you appear. And I find myself in doubt, again. |

The typical Saturday afternoon hangout aka Cathay Starbucks was ditched after just one cup. Got influenced(negatively haha) to do some retail therapy at Vivooooooo, been ages since I last visited that place anyway.
I love weekends(:
I need to get some work done. No, I must get some work done. Cant wait for Alevels to end, so much more beckons!
Ive not gone wakeboarding in the longest time, I might well have forgotten how to do so.
Sometimes I wish I had a clearer idea of what Im getting myself into. This entire thing's getting a little too plaguy, |

For the whole entire day, I was practically counting down to the end of school and telling everyone how I couldnt wait. Hahaha tutorials werent too bad but I just couldnt focus at all, felt like it was the weekends already!
Stupidly amusing things happened today:
Christina: Mel, just now you were blushing rrrrrrright
Me: Please, you got see me blush before meh? I dont ever blush.
Very true right? I really dont blush, so gaysxz.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deb: Melina, just now you got xin tiao kuai su anot?!
Me: Ehhhhh I thought its xin tiao jia su?
Omg xin tiao kuai su is like heartbeat express HAHAHA little Deborah Yew is so amusing.
Lesson learnt: Dont tease/make fun of me (:
Rushed out of school right after Human Geog tutorial for lunch/dinner at Sakae! Yay greaaaaat 2hrs+ spent there, I love such talks :D Good food + good company makes me happppppy! We should totally do this every Friday.
Its funny how excited and happy I am that the weekends are here, it never used to be like that. But whaaaaa, weekends are like liberation!!! Hello, I need a life yo! Like meetup with friends/go out with family etc. Im just not that kind of person who can stay at home and study throughout the weekends. Not that Ive tried that before actually. Even if I do work, it must be outside and with someone to talk to!!!
Okay Im going out in a jiffy, must control, cannot eat anymore food today!!! My tummy, as it is now, is exploding/bursting. -burps. |

Cardboard love has such cheesy lines omg. Theyre quite amusing actually :B
Not exactly the best of moods.
Sometimes, you really annoy me so badly. Sucks to say this but, it gets worse each day. Im expecting the worst.

Firstly, Happy Mums Day to my wonderful Mummy :B
(Laugh at how stupid Melissa looks here hahaha)
So as usual, we celebrated Mothers' Day on the eve. Had dinner with the family at Holland V's Crystal Jade. Omg spam xiao long baos!!! The 5 of us gobbled down 9 trays of xiao long baos hahaha. Main reason for heading down to Holland V was cause we wanted to try 2am Desert Bar after dinner but duh, we were too full! Had some frolick instead(: And I think we're gonna appear on Frolick's FB page cause they asked for a picture with Mum ehhhhhh I hope I dont look too unglam.
We cooked dinner for Mummy today! :D Okay fine, Melissa and Melvin did all the work. I only got home in time to help them in eating haha.
The honey-glazed turkey bacon was reaaally yummy. Other than that, the rest were pretty much ordinary. But for 2 people who never really cooked before in their life, I think it was commendable! Oh and while having dinner, Melissa mentioned how the pictures in the dining room showed our transformation through the years. Heres a picture of the 3 of us when we were all young and innocent kidsxz: 
I look like a tard and yes, Melvin and I used to ALWAYS wear same outfits. How gross is that?! But isnt it amazing how we've transformed? Haha.
And of course, Happy Mothers' Day to my beloved Grandma too. As much as I wish shes still around, I hope shes somewhere better.
Woohooooo now now now, Ronaldo's free kicks are s-p-e-c-t-a-c-u-l-a-r!
From here on, I hope things will only get better. |

[May. 7th, 2009|07:22 pm] |
So what if you heart tells you one thing but your mind tells you another?
On a side note, tomorrow's Friday folks! Have a great long weekend(yay again). |

I guess I know how sucky it feels to lose such a crucial match, especially after training really hard for it and having gone unbeaten for all games previously. But yeah, forget about the unfulfilled Padang dream, give your all for the 3rd/4th placing instead!
It was so horrible looking at him tear in despair, I swear. Dont you think it sucks to see guys cry? I do.
Okay my Econs essays are calling out to me, bye. |

Spent last night at Timbre with 6 other people who kept making fun of me. They were the strangest combination of people to chill with, I must say. But it actually turned out alright hahaha.
 
And Im even more convinced that perhaps, Ive been telling the wrong people things. From now on, I shall resolve to be tight-lipped(even more, if I already am).

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
V. glad that its the long weekends! :B
I love just bumming around in my room. Lying on my pretty day bed, looking at my "clothes-line" of pictures hanging on the wall(of the most important people in my life!), sitting at my study table with the lamp on, staring at my wardrobe and thinking of how I should neaten it up(but always fail to do so).
In the car the other day,
Mum: Lina, why arent you buckled up?!
Me: Huhhh...reaching school already la
Mum: You should always wear your seat belt when you're in the car! The next time you dont, Im gonna take $1 off your pocket money
Me: Hahaha omg thats so primary school!
Dad: Hahaha ya lor. No!!! The next time you dont buckle up, I wont drop you off and pick you up after school for a day.
Me: NOOO OKAY OKAY I WILL WEAR MY SEAT BELT!!!!
My Dad knows me best la. And my Mum used that $1 trick thing again with me cause Im always not closing the sliding door of my room's wardrobe.
Spent my afternoon at Starbucks(expected, no?) and came home smelling of caffeine. Wanted to clear my pile of Human Geog readings but ended up going shopping HAHA joke. Oh but I bought a v. pretty top :D And talking about Human Geog readings, they are never-ending!!! Ive been trying my best to clear them for the whole of this week but I never seem to be able to finish them. The worst thing is all that our case studies for Urban are in UK zzzzzzz. Okay I know Merry Hill has like 10000 carpark lots and attracts 70000 people on weekends (HAHA DEB CRYSTAL JUV!)
Going out with my parents to do some shopping now! :D Since my Mum told me the other day that she sees v. little of me nowadays =\ Okay guess what! We're going to Turf City! Decentralization of retailing, the CBD needs regeneration!!!!!! Okay Im Human Geog crazy, Ms S would be proud.

"Eh Mel can you please wipe that stupid smile off your face?! Stop smiling to yourself"
My throat hurts from all that screaming just now, eggciting stuff.
One last burst? Difficult to get the engine going, really difficult. |
