you should thank ivanka trump for giving motivation to blog tonight. despite the much too busy schedule i have gotten myself into, every weekend is spent on things that are NOT to be done, for example, watching excessive TV, and reading manga that should not be read during this crucial period of time, and of course, the wonderful pigging out in front of the laptop, TV, on the sofa, and of course on the floor. i feel like a pig. i am a pig.

ivanka trump. 25, rich, successful, beautiful, confident, sofisticated, humble, sexy....and the list goes on. she is my new idol...of all people, Donald Trump's daughter. yes, i was motivated by her while watching Oprah. how cheesy. but i thank the Hallmark channel from bringing me such a wonderful show, and the movie before that - Homecoming. about four children who were abandoned, and ended up living with their grandmother on a wonderfully nice farm. really touching. and Oprah again, for showing me that some celebrity parents really put in great effort to bring up their children right, and show their love for their children, becoming a great parent(unlike some others we hear a lot more about). almost i would say and perfect example, just like how the movies would be.

The Leap Year - my must watch movie. ok, one of the must watch movies on my list. after seeing the making of the movie, somehow a local- produced film seems really special, and the storyline is so touching. well, mostly the date itself has a big influence.

ah. a.....an eye candy (: cindy crawford's son. with that long blond hair, he looks like a hunk already XD

2008 has come already. for quite awhile. and the homework's starting. so did classes. orientation's over. sadly yet glad it is. super hectic.
i need sleep.
i need to study.
i need to talk to more people.
i need to stop wasting time.
i need to read more school-related books.
i need to save money.

that's my new years' resolution i hope.
i don't even know what i'm supposed to blog about anymore.

i don't even know what i should do with my free time that i am using the school's computer lab to blog.

a month. and i shall only blog this statement.

batam pictures for you guys to download. they are compressed into 8 folders! plus one is for videos. this is easier than uploading to a online photo album where you would have to download one at a time...and you don't want to repeat that 400+ times! so praise me for my consideration (:

enjoy!

training was tiring today. from the accumulated exhaustion from YLTC and training and lack of sleep probably.well at least i'm gonna enjoy my weekend off in batam with WISHES! (:

kris came over to bake CORNFLAKE COOKIES, and in the end we ate quite a substantial amount of it. but there was also chocolate cornflakes ! wahahah. well we pigged out, and ate smores too! except that the last batch of smores we made went up in flames in the oven. literally.

haha. i forgot about the marshmallows in the oven till i smelt it. burning. i opened the oven door to find the top half in flames. and opening the door made the flames only bigger. well the house was filled with smoke for awhile, but it was an enriching experience. the pictures will explain it all. (kris took a video of us disecting burnt marshmallows too! )

don't they look like volcanic rock?

my rainbow cornflake cookies!

Remember: marshmallows are FLAMMABLE (:

sleep!

the end of YLTC. end of Os. end of most sec school proms. including crescent's.

YLTC was a great experience really. go COURAGE! well i really can say that i learnt things from this camp, about myself, and about others. we didn't win the overall prize (3 bottles of 100 plus), but we did win one event - the outdoor cooking. and i would say that i didnt do much. as in didn't contribute much to the thinking/planning process nor the assembling of it. i just cooked, or turn on the fire for them to cook. and i did doubt their idea which took so much time and effort. so, overall i'm glad we managed to clinch those points.

There was the flag and points sytem, morning PT, land expedition to pulau ubin, sea expidition from changi to east coast (kayaking), improvised rafting, dragon boating, outdoor cooking, station games, and least but not lear, the FINAL CHALLENGE.

crazy i tell you, walking back from NTU to NJC, starting at 5am a tthe morning.we walked pretty fast (jogged mostly towards the end), took breaks, which included one at the coffeeshop, and made it back within 5 hours.a big accomplishment to me, and i can say that i enjoyed the walk (: but i still don't understand how the other teams could have walked back so fast even if the distance was shorter.
