zac and i went to wild wild wet today! before that zac went whitesands mall and took 40mins to choose a watch and then more time to get the strap adjusted to his skinny wrists after buying it. it was a good buy though. some seiko watch. usual price is 300+ and then he managed to pay 248 for it instead cause the salesperson there seems desperate to make a sale, so he just pushed down the price as much as he could.anyway, it's my first time to wild wild wet. im sooooooooo extremely hydrophobic and it's super far away. so cant fault me for not going before. anyway we only went for the ulah lah ride and the dumb cycling thing. the ulah lah is so fun! 6 people sat in this huge float and then it swerves and spirals down this half pipe thing. zac wanted to do the other ride, the one where it slides down this 70 degree steep slope. but i was scared.haha.looks like the float can fall off the edge anytime. there was a long queue too. it doesnt look as fun as the ulah lah. not many people scream in this ride.
the cycling thing was dumb. we tried cycling really fast but the thing shudders and shakes. so scary! feels like it will topple off the rail. most of the time we just floated down the river. i keep calling it the lazy river cuz that's what it's called in jurong east swimming complex. the children's slides are really fun. at first i was apprehensive cuz i didnt want to plunge into the water at the end of the slide. im super hydrophobic, remember? in the end i tried them all and it was really fun. i caught a not bad tan, though the sun was only on and off. it even rained abit. but overall the whole experience was good =) thanks baby for bringing me there. i had a fantastic time.

charmaine and i went to sentosa yesterday. when i woke up, it was all sunny so i was damn excited, thinking that i could catch a tan. then when we reached sentosa, it started raining! @$#^$%&#$@%!!!!! charmaine and i then just sat down under a small pavilion at siloso beach, ate chips, listening to music and singing out loud as if nobody's around. then the rain stopped. YAY! but no sun. crap. well we went walking along the beach looking for someone with a vball but not using it. sounds hard to find, but we did! we borrowed the ball from that group, which turned out to be army guys, all botak n black rimmed glasses, and started playing. then out of nowhere, this pair of weirdos came and ask if they cld join our game. we said okay, since vball is nice when many people are playing. okay i call them weirdos because, this pair of guys, started stalking us around the beach, asking us where we're going after beaching, if we dont mind having lunch with them. they even said they will wait for us to get done, outside the bathroom, when we said we're going to shower before leaving.anyway once, while playing vball, our ball (okay not ours) flew into the sea. then somehow, the vball ABSORBS water and it became all squishy and soggy. sand stuck to it like glue, making it hard for us to play. then this guy, whom i thought looks 90% like zac's older bro, asked if we wanted to join their group to play vball while our (okay not ours again) ball dries. we declined. cuz we noticed that they play pretty well. we dont want to paiseh ourselves. charmaine thought that guy was hottt.LOL.she said she dont mind playing if there were only guys in the group. there was a girl in it. charmaine! *shakes head*
anyway we had loads of fun there. my whole body (arms, shoulders, legs, back) is aching from vball. what a great workout =))
back to the pair of weirdos, we pangsehed them! but then charmaine saw them in vivo! i didnt see them cuz i was looking out for the shop char wanted to go. luckily they didnt come asking where we disappeared to. embarrassing.
here are photos of our day =) fun fun.

so tired. went to all the university open houses on both saturday and sundays. saturday was super super warm. perspiring the whole time. saturday started out on a bad note actually. cause before i left home, my mum decided that whatever i wore was too unpresentable to go to a uni. i was like what the fuck. im going to look at the campus, not going for an interview. but she continued scolding me. damn la. shut up can. like now she's right there yelling again. about my undesirable alevel grades. i can never please my mum. i have NEVER made her happy before, unlike my overachieveing brother.anyway, ntu open house was really crowded. went for several talks. my first choice of course will remain unchanged at bio sciences. ntu looks very old. the open house was held at the newest building, the school of biological sciences. probably wanting to give people a better impression of the campus.haha.but the rest looks really crappy.
after ntu i went to smu. smu is horrible. we spent super long trying to find where the admin building,where the open house is held, is at. cause smu, unlike other unis with a enclosed campus, is among all the commercial and office building. so it's really confusing where the buildings are located. and it's hard to tell which person walking around the campus is actually a student that we can ask for directions. by then we found the admin building, i wasnt in the mood to attend anything anymore. so tired and feeling crappy already, not to mention ultra warm.
went to nus today. i must say nus has the best open house. everything is organised, and it has the best given directions to the open house. most students are also wearing this open house tshirt, which makes it easy for us to spot them ask then for directions. but then the talks were very very boring compared to ntu. abit disappointing. but i was impressed by how nus tried to promote their lifestyle on campus, especially staying on campus. ntu didnt really promote campus life. it's more academic. i also couldnt feel a ntu culture among the students there. at nus, the people were friendly. i was at the Sheares Hall, a dormitory, booth, and i was surprised at how the guy there cld share with me, his experience staying Sheares Hall, like im an old friend. it was a double-sided chat, instead of a one-sided one with him blabbering on about how great his Hall is. at nus, i cld feel a type of bond the undergrads have there. it was like how i felt when i went to hwa chong institution open house. i wanted to go there but i didnt do well enough. oh well.
anyway i've applied for nus already. 1st choice being pharmacy, then science fac, followed by fass, business admin, real estate, accountancy and project/facilities management.

the time bomb exploded and... phew. im satisfied with my results although my parents arent. they should be, because with my results, i think i can go to most courses in uni. why arent they happy? because im not one of the top students. argh. by now they should know that im not some overachieving geek.anyway i have to thank God for my results. though many of my friends did way better than me, i have to be satisfied with this because that's what God wants for me, which also means i dont deserve any better than what i got. all i ask now, is for God to reveal his future plans for me, and to direct me throughout university, including what courses to apply for. uni application is important. i dont want to end up taking a course i dont want. but now im not sure what courses to take, or which uni offers a better course programme. what a pain.
tomorrow is my 19th birthday! i feel old. last year of my life with the number 1 infront of my age. i received an ecard from my bro who is studying in aus. thanks for remembering. so where's my present? lol. i miss celebrating birthdays in school. every birthday is memorable, thanks to all my friends who made it that way. my birthdays r also so fun that it doesnt even matter that my parents never remembered my birthdays. but this year, everyone is busy working, driving lessons, other committments, army etc..... but i know i can still expect something from zac, whom i know will make my day, as always. thank you so much baby, in advance. haha. love u.
