~ Volunteer @ Sri Lankan High Commissioner in aid of the Tsunami disaster ~
7:26:00 pm
Today, I went over to the Sri Lankan High Commissioner @ Goldhill Plaza near Novena with Fione and Kewei to volunteer in packing of relief items for the Sri Lankan people in aid of the Tsunami disaster... Was thinking of doing some good deed before I start school
...
I could still remember the day when the earthquake at Bandar Aceh happened... Me and my relatives were having a camping trip over at East Coast Park... Little did we expect that the earthquake at the ocean bed would cause tsunamis which had affected areas in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Maldives, etc... If the tsunami had really hit Singapore, I guess that you will never see me writing this entry... *Touch wood though*...
Anyway, we reached there at about 9.40am... We were supposed to meet Wenhao, Fione's best friend from YJC, at Novena but since she was late, we went ahead first... Went around the Goldhill Plaza to look for the lobby, only to realise that we had walked a big round... There were only a few volunteers when we arrived and there were lots of stacks of plastic bags filled with clothes... We had to separate those into 3 parts; men, ladies and kids... It was very tiring and it was soon before I started sneezing (I'm very allergic to dust and the smell of the mothballs)... Soon, more and more people came to help and by then, I really couldn't stand it any longer... My mucus kept flowing, my nose kept sneezing, I kept perspiring and my head got more giddy... Anyway, we stopped at around 12.10 noon since I really couldn't take it any longer and both me and Kewei were getting hungry... We then went off to United Square to have our lunch after seeing that there were a lot of people helping out too...
Had our brunch (breakfast + lunch for me) at McDonalds @ United Square... We then went around the mall and both me and Fione tried the car racing games... Lost both games to Fione... *Gosh! Once I get my licence, don't ever sit in my car... Haha*... Anyway, we had to go back to Goldhill Plaza to return the penknife... By then we saw a sign saying, 'NO CLOTHES please'... Indeed there were lots of clothes... I think what they need most are medications and food...
We then went to Orchard... Walked around and we even went to the Library @ Orchard to sleep... *Haha*... I finally went home at about 5.35pm and reached home at 6.10pm...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On my way home in the mrt, I saw a lady who had burns on her body... Well, she was wearing this pressure garment... That's how I know...
It was really daring of her to come out into the public despite her difficulties... Really not afraid of what people would say... I really salute these people... Cuz if I were her, trust me... You won't even see me out of the house...

~ My Camping Trip... Part 2.... ~
7:06:00 pm
Upon reaching the tents, all the kids were still playing games and both me and
Kak Long joined in too... We played badminton, monkey, dog-and-bone... The part which is more fun was playing the dog-and-bone game... Me,
Kak Long,
Alishah and
Aisha were in one team whereas
Shida,
Ayuni,
Kak Ngah and
Shasha were in another...
Bibi Dini became the 'referee'... Initially, only
Bibi Dini was there but they were soon joined by my mum, my dad,
Kakak,
Des and
Bibi Rozana... It seemed unfair cuz there were the 'bigger' ones in one team and the more 'smaller' ones in another... There were lots of bargaining among us... But guess what? We lost man... 25-10 somemore... Oh gosh, how embarassing... Don't know why but there were a couple of times where I was distracted from the game... Partly becuz someone was strumming a guitar and singing to a malay song near to another tent...
*Haha... But trust me... He has a very nice voice*...
After the games, all the kids didn't want to sleep yet so
Bibi Dini suggested that we tell a ghost story... It was all created and fiction but it was kinda boring... All of us shifted to
Des's tent since he has the biggest tent... There were lots of 'effects' and the girls were all screaming their hearts out... One moment, I even sprayed the 'foam' and all were screaming... *Evil grin*... Anyway, everything got too tensed up so we changed the topic to 'Your most embarrasing moment'... I still remembered
Kak Long's story about her 'meeting' with Taufik...
*Haha*... I still tease her about this to this day
... In the end, everyone went to sleep at about 3.50am...
I only woke up at about 7am... My mum and
Kakak were still sleeping... Went to wash my face and brush my teeth... After that, went for a short cycle and sat around for awhile... Finally, got into the sea again... But again, it was very fast lah...
*Didn't wanna get tanned 
*... Went to shower... Sat with
Bibi Dini,
Bibi Rozana and
Kakak, chatting with them... Went to sleep again cuz I was feeling super-sleepy...
Woke up at about 1pm... Can't remember what I really did though... I think I went cycling with my mum,
Des and
Kak Long to 7-eleven... Anyway, my mum didn't know how to cycle and she cycled with
Kak Long with the 2-seater bicycle... I was left to cycle on the big bicycle... Then sat around... Went cycling again... Initially we wanted to play the bumper car but it was still early and the place was closed... So we went to 7-eleven and bought a kite... Couldn't fly though
... But then, my grandmum had arrived with my goduncle and his wife and two babies...
Had a telematch with the kids... I can't believe it!! I lost again!
*Sheesh*... Anyway, but about 5+ pm, we already started to unpitch the tents and packed up the stuffs... The bus only came at 7.10pm...
*Sigh*
P.S. What a pity, my camera is spoilt!! So, NO PICS!!

~ My Camping Trip... Part 1... ~
5:03:00 pm
Wow... It's been almost a week since I last blogged... Been going out too much... *
Haha*...
Anyway, I went camping with my other family members at East Coast Park (Area B) on Christmas Day, which falls on Saturday... We set out from home at 2pm, fetched my aunts and cousins since there was a transport and reached East Coast near to Big Splash at about 3 plus in afternoon... Boy, there were so many other people and it was hard to find a spot to pitch up the tent... So we sat there by the shelter, putting the items on the mat and having sandwiches and snacks... While my cousins went into the water, I stood there by the beach, looking at them playing in the sea... Gosh, I almost got pushed into the water by 3 of my younger cousins,
Kak Ngah,
Ayuni and
Shida... What's more, my hp was strapped around my neck using the neck-chain... Thank goodness I stopped them in them... *
But it would really be a good excuse for me to buy a new hp!! Haha*... Anyway, I changed into my swimming suit since I was in t-shirt and track pants... When I came back from the toilet,
Kakak told me to get the beach ball and I was shocked to see the ball far in the middle of the sea...
Aisha and
Shida was already upset so in the end, I got them to join me in the water... *
Kids are easy to please... Haha*... Didn't stay long though since I know that I would get dark easily and the sun was shining brightly... *
Vain*... Anyway, there were lots of stones under the water and as a result, I've got a few cuts on my two feet... Instead, I was 'taking care' of
Adli and
Shida since I was the elder one who were with them in the water...
While my cousins and I were in the sea,
Kakak,
Abang and
Bibi Rozana helped to pitch up the tents... I only came up to help to pitch the last tent... *
Hehe*... After which, I went to the toilet to bathe cuz I was feeling uncomfortable... In the end, I 'ditched' my cousins half way through a game to join
Ayah and
Kak Long to cycle to 7-eleven... *
Haha... So bad right?*... Anyway, I couldn't cycle but the bike I shared with
Kak Long was a two-seated one so she was basically controlling the bike and I was just helping her to cycle... By the time we came back,
Bibi Tati and
Bibi Dini's family have already reached with both tents already pitched... By then, I was already 'psycho'-ing
Des, my other older cousin, to rent a bike overnight with me... Although I couldn't cycle yet then, I was determine to rent a single bike... Luckily, I wasn't over-ambitious cuz I could cycle in the end
... Ended up paying $15 which is cheap for overnight...
After having dinner,
Kakak and I walked to 7-eleven with the rest of my cousins,
Kak Ngah,
Ayuni,
Shasha,
Aisha,
Shida and
Adli... It was really a LONG walk so I told them that if any of them complaint of being tired, I would not treat them to anything... *
Haha*... I could see that even though all of them were tired, neither of them said anything about being tired... Bought for them drinks, ice-cream and snacks since I've got my pay... In the end,
Des,
Kak Long and
Alishah cycled to 7-eleven to meet up with us... And me, being the 'bad' one, asked
Kak Long to let me have the bicycle... 'Ditched' them again... *
Haha*... When we reached the tents,
Bibi Netty and her husband, and
Bibi Sarimah were already there...
At about 9pm,
Des,
Kak Long and I went cycling... Both me and
Kak Long ended up 'psycho'-ing
Des into cycling to Bedok Jetty with us... It was REALLY far since we were at the other end of East Coast... And I was the slower one in cycling since it was still 'new' to me... At one point, after the Costa Sands Resort, my bike went to the small drain... I was lucky I didn't fall but the group of youngsters at the chalet were practically laughing at me... Luckily, my back was facing them so at least, they couldn't see my face... Ended up reaching Bedok Jetty at about 10 plus... *
There were lots of stopping cuz of me... 
I was messaging a friend throughout the journey*... The trip back was a more smoother one since both my mum and
Bibi Tati were calling us relentlessly... But again at one point, I 'rammed' straight into the bushes... *
Sigh*... Also on our way back, there were a few bikini-clad dancers in a pub, dancing to 'Me Against My Music'... All 3 of us slowed down to take a peek... *
Haha*... Finally reached the tents at about 11.30pm, with both our butts and legs in pain
...
To be continued...

~ Making friends through the Net... A wise move? ~
10:43:00 pm
This was actually written on 21st December 2004, 1.10am in my notebook
Sometimes, I really wonder...
'
Making new friends through the Internet'...
Is it really a wise move?
Well, I don't deny the fact that I've actually made friends with some great people with the help of a mouse click... People who are sincere and honest in making friends with you... In fact, I've known people whom actually met their soulmate or significant other through the Internet... Yes, the Internet is a great way for you to meet new people, learn new languages and other cultures, and also to keep in touch with your old and current friends... But how many percent do you think who are really, really sincere in being your friend? 50? 10? Or even lesser? I don't know, seriously...
I don't blame the people who created the Internet... I blame the people who are using it... Yes, the USERS... Even me... Yes, me... No, I haven't done anything wrong but sometimes, I feel that I'm not sincere too... But don't point your fingers at me too soon... The other party whom you're talking to can be very creepy... Creepy as in he/she can turn you off in an instant... You know, the exchanging of hp numbers and stuffs when you've actually known each other for about a few seconds... So there you go... People who wants to be your friend but practically, you don't wish to... So, is the sincerity still there? You tell me...
But that's not the worse... The worse can be where both parties choose to meet in reality and when they meet, that's the first and the last they see and maybe, even hear of each other... Yes, I've done it before... No denial there... I'm very tired of doing these sort of things so the best is not to meet up at all... But curiousity kills the cat doesn't it? You always wonder how he/she looks like but you end up hurting the other party... *Sigh*... And who says looks doesn't play a role??
But to look on the bright side, it's not all that bad... You'll get to widen your circle of friendship... And for my case, I get to make friends with the people who seems
so near yet so far from me... *Haha*... Whom I meant are the people in my lecture group... You are not aware of their presence in reality but when you go online, you're like "
You're from my lecture group?" and stuffs... And you start making friends... So, not everything is as bad as they seems...
What can you say? Everything has its pros and cons...
Last words:
The reason I'm writing this was becuz of someone whom I've just known recently... Made me spend money on my hp bill... But in the end, I get ignored... I don't know lah... Well, you know
karma... '
What goes around, comes around'... I
believe definitely know that I've been like that, that's why it's happening to me now...
My emotion: It's definitely not a good feeling...

~ My PC... *Dumb* ~
10:01:00 pm
Got one of the biggest scare today... Did system recovery to my pc earlier on cuz I thought that my pc had gone bonkers... Only to realise that the pc mouse was the one with the problem... *Dumb*... Anyway, I was so worried that everything would disappear cuz whatever came out was just like when I first had the pc... Almost felt like crying cuz whatever files in there had no backup... Esp my precious pics... But to my surprise, everything was still intact and in fact, my pc is running faster than ever... *Phew*... A blessing in disguise I guess...
Anyway, bad luck sets in again when my pc was spammed... My brother managed to remove it for me but the background still cannot appear... *Irritating!! Idiotic person who has spammed my pc!!
*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saw Fione just now at Toa Payoh Interchange while on the way for a wedding reception... Anyway, it wasn't me who spotted her but my sis... Initially I was like "Where?" since I was looking at the guy in front... =P... But at second look, I saw her and immediately I ran in front of her and gave her a hug... *Haha... Did I shock you?*... She was like screaming but was it becuz of the wound?? *Sorry!!*...
Feels so good to see her again... Cuz I missed her so much... Practically, everyone... *Sigh*

~ I saw HIM.... ~
5:19:00 pm
I saw HIM... Yeah, HIM... The one who had caused me lots of pain and suffering... Well, everything was totally unplanned and unexpected... I was out with my best guy buddy from sec sch today... Well, we haven't met for quite sometime already so we decided to meet up... Anyway, wanted to ask him more about his job lah cuz maybe I'll be taking part-time job at his workplace...
Anyway, I was already at the bus interchange waiting for the bus when I received a message from HIM, saying that HE saw me at Timezone @ Northpoint... I was surprised to see that message especially since I know HE seldoms come by to Yishun... Well, HIS girlfriend lives in Yishun too... *Surprise, surprise*... By then, I knew I had to see HIM again... One thing was becuz I haven't seen HIM for a period of 7 months, and the other was that for me to be sure that my feelings for HIM was no longer there...
So I met HIM at the foodcourt @ Northpoint... HE was sitting there facing Harvey Norman... I just gave a smile to HIM...
My feelings then: A little nervous but a little excited too...
HE was very much the same, except that HE longer uses his specs... A little chubbier though... *Hehe*... The meeting was very informal... HE immediately took my New Paper after seeing that I was holding one... Nothing much lah, we just asked each other little things about this and that... About 5 mins later, I had to go...
My feelings after the meeting: Happy... Cuz I was very sure that my feelings for HIM had already faded away... Totally... I was not nervous nor excited during the whole thing... I see HIM as a friend now...
And I'm very sure now...
P.S.: Thanks for the meal, games and New Paper, Yangde!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maybe what Fione said is true... Too much of my saliva have been evaporated into the atmosphere due to my 'non-stop' talking on the phone with a friend... *Haha*... That's why it's been raining non-stop for 2 days already... *Haha... I guess you're right Fione*...
Anyway, Mac is already back in Singapore... Landed early morning of yesterday... But now, Flora gone back to Hong Kong... *Sigh*... 1 go, 1 back...

~ My Sunday.... ~
7:29:00 pm
*Gosh*... I haven't done this for a very long time... Slacking at home the whole day... *Haha*... Okay lah, not exactly a very long time cuz it's a little bit too exaggerating isn't it? Hah... Usually there would always be things or events during the weekends since it's the Hari Raya period but well, the excitement has died down as it's reaching towards the end already... Kinda miss the 'busy-ness' and stuffs...
How to describe my Sunday?? Hmm... Okay lah... I was reading a book from Nicholas Sparks,
A Bend in the Road... Seems like ages since I last read... Especially since after exams were the attachment so I don't really have the time lah... So, now that I have the 'time in the world', I shall catch up with some reading....
... Spent 4 hours in total talking with a friend on the phone... So it's not that bad lah right??
From my bedroom window, I still see a lot of people '
raya-ing'... Even spotted some of the men still wearing their traditional
baju kurung... Wow...
Semangat raya betul... *Haha*... Mine already died at the end of the first week of Hari Raya...
Maybe I'll go clear my wardrobe... It's in a total mess... Ciao!

~ IT'S OVER!!! ~
8:10:00 pm
YAY!! My attachment is finally over!! OT, A&E, Geron & HSE... All done... An accomplishment... *Hehe*...
Anyway, it feels SSOO good to 'get out' of Sunlove... No more of that old 'auntie'... Of course I will miss all the other staffs cuz all of them are SO sweet and nice... Actually can't bear to leave them lah... If not for that old 'auntie', I would have enjoyed my stay there...
Anyway, went to see her just now to get my clinical diary verified by her... The moment I sat down, she just said, "So Taufik won the Singapore Idol... Do you want to marry Taufik?"... *DUH*... I'm there to get my clinical diary verified and she asked me some weird questions... And she even said that although I'm a Malay, I don't speak like one... And her question was, "Where did you Malay accent go??"... WHAT? A Malay must speak with a Malay accent is it?? She went on and on... *Can't be bothered to hear*...
But I know I'm gonna miss some of the patients too...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway, I managed to hear the new single from Taufik, '
I Dream' while having my driving lesson just now... *Sigh... I'm dreamy*

~ What's the SG Idol now? ~
5:15:00 pm
Yeah... Taufik Batisah has made history by becoming the first-ever Singapore Idol... But of course, nothing is short of controversies...
1) There won't be a World Idol...
Okay so did people waste lots of money on voting for their Idol to reach the world arena and just to be told that the World Idol has been scrapped? Of course I feel a sense of pride when Taufik won cuz he has the package and everything especially his talent... You would want someone great like him to represent Singapore on the world level... But now..............
2) Sylvester will get a similar contract as the Idol, which is Taufik...
What's the point of wasting so much money to keep your Idol in the competition when the runner-up gets a similar one too? The only difference between Sly and Taufik now is that Taufik has the title... Yes... A mere title is what that keeps them apart...
I'm not indicating that I regretted voting for Taufik... NO!! I don't regret it and I never will... Taufik is the one that deserves this cuz he works hard for it to achieve his dreams to a greater level... He does it purely on his own... Therefore, he truly deserves this...

~ TAUFIK IS THE FIRST SG IDOL!!!! ~
12:05:00 am
YEAH!! Taufik is the first Singapore Idol... Wow! That's like so COOL!! At least I didn't waste my $15 for nothing... Haha!!
A HUGE HUG & A BIG BIG CONGRATS TO TAUFIK!!!
