Its been a gorgeous day today.. looking out from my room, I can see for miles and miles... Ive never seen such clear weather from halls before, and just didn realise how far I can see from this high up... Too bad I was stuck in the labs all day helping out with a study... am absolutely pooped.. and to think Ive got to make my own dinner now.. arghh... why cant Scotland have hawker centres as well.. wouldn't that just make life so much easier here haha.. okok I know Im complaining and whinning...

Went for my first couple of classes for the year yesterday.. very first class was rather interesting I must say... Applied Sport and Exercise Science.. its basically work experience but not quite the same as you would have imagined it to be. We are all given a client each (like a real sports person), to work one-on-one with, help improve his or her sport either through biomechanics, psychology, nutrition or physiology.. Its really fascinating cos we get to use what we have learnt and apply it on a real person.. Use the machines and all... there was a wide range of sportmen/women to be handed out and it had to be at random.. so guess what sport I got... I dunno if someone up there is trying to pull a fast one on me or what.. but I was given a female golfer.. well I choose to think that Ive got a slight advantage cos I know a few things about it.. But we'll see how it goes.. am just excited to be working with a real client and applying what Ive been studying over the last 3 years...

Anyways.. on another note, got this off Amy's facebook.. thanks for taking the picture (:

Will be another 8-9 months or so before the 4 of us will be together again..

*im sorry you've got to go through what you are going through now, but you know I'll always be here if you need someone to talk to (msn/call). Be strong.

All the things

I still remember

Summers never looked the same

Years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

In the middle of September

We still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

Same city, same weather, same smells, same feel, same block, different room, different Leslie.


My final year as an undergrad has finally come.. I of all ppl thought this day would never come, but it has. Another 8-9 months or so, I'll finally have the degree that I've been woking, well basically my whole life for. It may be nothing to some ppl, but its everything to me.


Ive taken the long and winding route, I can safely say, I can finally see that light at the end of my education tunnel haha.. greatly appreciate the support my family has always given me and friends who never fail to make me feel bad for always leaving and saying "when are u coming back?" ... only kidding.. (: love them all ...


Something familiar SHu?? haha.. been keeping it all this while... (:

pictures on my wall always change... people have come and gone, pictures may change, but the memories still lives on.. I know that these are the ppl who will always be there for me, and I cherish every single one of them as I hold them close to my heart (:

New sem, also means more training! and Im gonna go all out this year. 8am at the gym tmr morning with Lexy before class, bring it I say...

Hardest Goodbye

I had to say one of the.. that's not true.. I had to say THE most difficult "goodbye" today to someone who I know will not be there when I return in June, someone whom I have known all my life... Saying your final goodbye, to someone who has watched me grow up, am part of my life as much as I have been part of her's... I leave SG with a heavy heart, knowing that I will not be around when that fateful day comes..

Im torn as to how I should be feeling... I don't want her to be suffering for a long time, the pain must be eating her from inside. On the other hand, I don't want her to go, not being there whenever I visit in the future, not being there to provide all the chinese proverbs when we toss raw fish during CNY, the thought of not writing her name on a christmas card.. I just rather not think about it...

All I hope and pray is that she'll be at peace soon, pain free and happy, knowing that she'll always be around, somehow, somewhere...

Por Por, I'm gonna miss you so much...

SHu's Potluck


We had our dinner at the front of her house this time and it was good.. Fiona made pigs in blankets, Glenn made seafood pasta, there was fried rice, and special steak (:


Theme for the day was old primary/secondary PE attire.. and I've thrown all of them away.. Ive only got like one or two t-shirts from JI days. I had a super busy day yday so when I thought I was wearing an old JI t-shirt, I must have grabbed Jaimie's SAJC t-shirt instead without knowing haha.. so I was the fake saint in the house.
SHu bought all the girls green hairbands haha.. for added effect...





Happy Birthday again Abbe



my cacat "S" haha..


Dessert time was like sugar in heaven... we had Fiona's Lemon Meringue Pie, Glenn's Cheesy Cheesecake, Liwen's Jelly, I made Tiramisu & cupcakes...



and of course we had a bottle of Moscato with the desserts (:



then we played Taboo which was a huge laugh ... hee... then it was onto the Wii... cant have a party without the Wii can we (:


then a few tunes on the untuned piano haha that had missing keys...



Well like I said before.. I had a really long day... Friday night met with Kelly and Felicia at Chinatown for claypot rice and dessert. Fannie and gang were in Chinatown too to went to meet them after Kelly and Felicia went home.. hung out for a bit and came home... shortly after, went to the Cold Storage in Holland V which thankfully is 24hours and bought ingredients for SHu's potluck...

Got home at about 1am and started baking.. made carrot cake for SHu and Fannie, tiramisu and tried making cupcakes for the first time and SHu requested chocolate ones.. so I tried and I think they were nice hee.. Went to bed at abt 4am and was up again at 7.30am for a run at rifle range road wit SHu, Diana and Ben..

Went to Old Town for breakfast cos all the malay stores were closed.. bumped into my mom and dad.. got home at 10.30am, changed and straight out to Fannie's. We were given complimentary Kickboxing classes at Fannie's gym.. thought it was a group class thing, turned out to be a one-on-one thing.. I cant move now.. every muscle in my body is aching...

Got home at 3.30pm that same afternoon and made the icing for the cupcakes and was abt an hour late to SHu.. but I made it, with desserts in hand haha.. I was pooped by the end of the day... Never felt so exhausted in a long time....

I'm gonna miss everyone all over again..
