went over to baby's in the morning.
yeah. right after he finished work.
there was absolutely no cars on the road.
dead silence.


so he got on the taxi..
and came to fetch me.
sweet.


but it wasn't sweet for long.
things got a bit rough.
but after a little chat..
in my half asleep state,
things went alright.


ended up sleeping.
got up at bout 12..
just nice for me to leave.
too bad i couldn't stay for lunch.
like how i used to last year.
dad kept calling...


they were home waiting for me.
we had planned to go to the cemetery.
cos last year we din go..
so yeaps. decided to go today..
when the whole family was free.
so i had to rush back.


showered. had lunch.
and off we went.
after the visit to the cemetery,
we went over to my aunty lucy's.
specifically to visit my uncle eric.
he tore his ligament at the knee..
so he just underwent a surgery.
so yupps. we went to visit him.
he's feeling much better already.


after we got there...
jon's friend came...
he has dis little daughter.
her name's catherine..
she's SOOOO cute.
she's not shy..
and best of all.
candy, my cousin's dog,
was afraid of her instead of
the other way round.
hahas. totally hilarious.


after that..
my cousin joyce, her husband,
and her in-laws came..
and den some other people.
heh. stayed there till bout 5+? or 6?
den we came back home.
took a nap... woke up at 9
had my dinner and here i am.
*yawns.
i hate to break sleep.
totally suck.


anyways..
i just realised.
i cannot manage my money.
so this time...
i'm gonna make an effort to.
i will make a list of things i wanna buy.
and then prioritise them.
save up slowly.
i think this is about the only way i'll save.
and also. set aside 50 a week..
so that i wont overspent.
you know how it gets..
when you have a month's allowance..
all chunked into your bank account.
you just spent it all like nobody's business.
so yeah. i'm gonna make an effort.


so here's a couple of things i'm gonna save up for... in no order of ranking.

1. samsung z500
2. digital camera
3. webcam
4. $200 spending money
5. $700 investment money
6. ipod nano 4 gb / ipod photo
(it'll depend on my cash flow)
7. flight ticket to sydney
8. flight ticket to indon.
(to visit my cousin)
9. flight ticket to wherever.
(for a holiday...)
10. many many more. xDD


there are so many things to buy..
but with so little money.
i seriously ought to save...
teach me how...


oh yahh.
i realised something.
it really is a prestige to be in a catholic school.
and also being a catholic.
realised that while i was at church.
seeing all my friends and stuff.
all from the different catholic schools.
we can easily identify ourselves.
it is how like we'll ask each other..
which school are you from?
and then we'll ask...
are you a catholic?
oh really? which church you go to?
and from there we feel the bond.
the similarities..
it just feels like family.
it's amazing. a wonderful gift.
i'll always treasure it... x)
to some of you.. it may not make sense.
but to those on the same boat as me..
you'll understand. ;)


and again..
happy CNY to everyone out there!
hope you're enjoying yourself. ;)

what i bought with 80bucks?
good bargain i must say...


because i'm sick,
i havent been able to update.
been cutting classes.
cos i've been on mc.
for 3 days mind you...
and i've been rather weak.


yeah. i'm down with the common flu..
together with my usual thonsilitis.
yeah. for those who don't know.
it's an inflammed thonsil.
starts off with a sore throat.
seems to be that everyone's getting sore throat.
it's annoying..
cos it's CNY!!!
i'm gonna miss out on the goodies.
grrrr...
cant even help my mum taste her tarts.
oh yeah.. my mom makes the BEST pineapple tarts.
if you EVER have the chance,
you MUST try it. *winks


so much for wanting to keep it short and sweet
here's the photo...













roxy bikini for 30bucks.
(i couldnt resist... jean bought TWO!)
a dark brown handbag from dorothy perkins.
that cost me 13bucks.
new future white skirt for 21bucks.
(wanted to buy pants. but thought i wouldnt fit)
and the cheapo shirt from baleno.
14bucks... just wanted to grab and go...
couldnt find something else to buy...


not quite sure if that's what i wanna wear though.
hahahs. i'm rather fickle minded.
but i'm sure i'll make use of it...
someday.. i hope. =x

let the mind do the job.


~~

helping my cousin do her hair.
while my other cousin did her make up.
we were very late so yeah.
and when we got there. more shit.
hahahas. i was doing reception la.

my mom, aunties and cousins!!!
uggh. hahas.
they kept matchmaking me with the bestman!

but he's really suave.
and with brains. hahas.
yahh... everytime i stood next to my aunt,
she'll go on about him.
and everyone will follow the wind.
WAH LAOO EHH!


NEVERMIND..
at one of the groom's relatives' table..
one of his uncle's also did the same thing to us.
hahas. we turned to each other..
and gave each other that LOOK.
hahas. it's quite common i guess..
matchmaking the bridesmaid and bestman.
danngs. hahas. so funny la.
but quite irritating...


glenn's cousins, andrea and amanda,
were damn cool too! they are noisy pple as well!
hahahs. we really clicked quite well.

so.. i finally decided.. i'm gonna talk to her.
she's like the best person to talk to..

CAUTION: LONG ENTRY.

school dis morning..
went to mt alvernia hospital.
baby's mom's discharged today.
went back to his place.
sat around for a bit.
den took an afternoon nap.
den it's home to complete the script.


when i left..
i was walking towards hougang mrt..
i took a good glance at the surroundings.
brought back many memories.
the times i used to hang out around the area after school..
how when i was in 1 integrity...
a bunch of 11 of us..
me, liying, sharmin, carolyn, sarah, kelly, adeline, carolina, rachel, audrey, meixian..
occasionally some others would join...
we'd go to hougang mall for lunch..
den we'd go to punggol cc to watch the montfort guys play basketball.
how we used to sit there, chit chat, giggle and watch them.
how fun...
den we'd play with them...
talk to them..
and i remember how we were all quite shy..
guess i was the only one open enough to talk to them.
hahahas. used to help them relay messages..
and then we frequently went to rivervale mall...
read a lot of chinese comics..
talked quite a bit in chinese..
yadayadayada.
but it was a whole load of fun.
never studied once. hahahas.
i still remember..
the back of the class.
all of us would gather there during free time.
and we'd talk so much!!
and it was great cos it was a big group.
and all those that only hung out with us occasionally,
they'd join us too!


and then the group broke up when we were streamed.
i went on to 2integrity...
while a lot of them dropped classes.
made a new circle of friends...
nevertheless...
we still gathered at the lockers before school..
but of cos.. this time it was on the second level.
felt great somehow. hahas. sec 2 already.
we'd still talk and catch up..
but only a few of us stuck together.
we met a group of st gabs guys still..
those of us who still stuck around..
hahas. we used to have a habit of meeting new guys.
explains why some of us went to mavis tuition centre.
hahahas. some went there for tuition,
some tagged along to look at guys..



after which jean came into the picture.
she came to school one day..
and she needed company that afternoon.
to go to bishan park secondary to watch a soccer match.
st gabs was up against some other school.
obviously, she was there to watch sebastian..
he was the captain of the C division team then.
from then onwards, jean and i became really close..
and we became best friends! x))


den i started hanging out with jean and all..
yeah.. and i started speaking a lot more english.
dumped that speaking chinese habit.
after all.. i was never good at that language.
hahahas. yeaps. and then started hanging out with jocelyn...
she was a ball of fun.
very humourous and totally WILD. x)
so that was when i started going to town A LOT.
85 straight to town...
amira slowly came into the picture.
and a few others here and there.
on some days,
we'd just go have lunch,
den go over to my place..
hahahas. so jean could go meet sebastian.
or watch him train on training days.
and we'd play netball under the block.
and... BREAK LIGHTS.
*winks at jean. hahahhas.
on other days, we'd have lunch at hougang mall,
den go hang out at jean's old place.
watch movies or just slack around.
it was fun...
we practically hung out EVERYDAY.
and it was reflected in my results.


this carried on till sec 3.
i dropped another class.
hahahas. now i was in 3 humility.
the class jean was in in sec 2.
but she dropped another class.
so she went to 3 grace.
anyhows.. we were still best friends.
started hanging out a lot with amira, jean and joce.
we got really close to the st gabs guys.
especially those in soccer.
shaun hedger came into the picture.
and then toad, brandon, mark and all..
slowly ernest and all came into the picture.
hahahas. i think it was then..
that i started knowing alot alot of guys.
without doubt,
sec 3 was like disaster.
all that trouble we got into,
all the uniform problems..
and yeah. me and jean getting kicked out of the probates.
hahahas. yeah. we were on our way to prefecthood.
but cos of our uniform problems..
we were kicked out. hahahas.
full of shit man.
anyways,
i hated doing duties...
having to come early and all that stuff.
oh wells.
and sec 3 was the period i started doing nonsense.
cutting my wrists and all.
and i realised how dumb i was.


sec 3 passed by.
my results started slipping...
and den sec 4 came.
started hanging out alot with jillian.
she already transferred to naval base of cos.
met up with her a lot of times in town.
it all started when i went onto irc again.
and den we started chatting a whole lot.
and den on friendster she realised i knew someone she knew.
who was her schoolmate's ex bf.
and yeah.. that was weiliang.
so i got to know gillian. hahas. his ex gf.
and with her i knew alicia and rachel..
and then with rachel i got to know yuchern and ian.
kept going to town after school without fail.
and then through gillian...
i got to know pearlynn and yuani.
from then on.. i hung out at cine like nobody's business.
went to look for them everyday without fail.
then i got to know kenny and the whole bunch of them.
and of cos.. i will never forget..
how jillian and i used to oogle at le en.
cos we found him really cute.
only thing was that he smoked.
and yeaps. we nicknamed him phototaking guy..
cos he loved taking photos of himself.
that all happend at ljs of cos.
our frequent hangout.
the other places we used to hang out at..
were cinecafe, rocky's, yoshi and outside cheers.
we simply wasting time there.. stoning.
sometimes we went shopping.
hahahas. it was fun though.


during that time...
i was with cheok..
but a lot of things happened.
after two months we broke up.
and i was rather depressed.
but oh wells. it's all in the package.


and so i started talking to kenny a lot online.
invited him for my birthday party and he came!
heh. it was whackass. and he was a lot of fun.
after that we got together just for fun..
but realised it din work out so we broke up.
sigh. it was so sudden..
cos i kinda got quite involved already.
and cos of that. i started cutting myself again.
stupidity.


anyways. time passed.
and then i got to know ben! x)
he was so sweet.
we met at bk compass pt.
he was with amir.. while i was with jillian.
from then onwards, i hung out with him a lot.
at the airport.. going to town..
and i was still at ALW attending classes.
so he'd come pick me up after lessons.
and once he got drunk in jb after going all the way there just to get me bubble gum..
how sweet. anyways, he still rushed back..
came to pick me up and den we headed to town..
watched a midnight movie..
and after that night.. we got together.
for the 1st two months or so things went perfectly well.
after which, the rollercoaster ride started.
was really scary i must say.


anyhows... i flunked my prelims cos of him..
din wanna study cos i wanted to go out with him..
though i said i went out to "study",
i actually never did! i couldnt concentrate!
hahahas. so yeahh. i did really badly i must say.
but after i got my prelim results, i woke up.
from a big big demoralising shock.
just one month before my exams..
i started studying.
and thanks to ALW, i managed to study well!
and efficiently of cos. all within a month!
yeaps. and it was a struggle for me really.
because during the one month, he wasnt there for me.
he drifted from me.
started hanging out with a bunch of newly found friends.
they got him into a lot of trouble.
and found him a new girl..
so they took him totally away from me.
realised that he cheated on me twice during that period.
it was torturous i must say.
cos i was taking my Os at the same time.
and he promised to be there after my papers to send me home.
and we already planned how the last day of my Os was gonna be.
i always hoped and wished that he would be at the bus stop.
but after every paper, i'd excitedly look out..
only to my dismay. he was NEVER there.
not even the last day.
but nevermind. that was the past.
it really hurt me real bad.
but i still went to meet him after that.
coloured my hair.
and best thing was.. halfway thru.. he left.
cos the other girl called him..
and threatened to come look for me.
i could only leave on my own then.
i still remember clearly i went to meet jaen after that in town.
oh wells. it was tough. but i've pulled through!


and then he went into boys' home.
i swear it was really really tough for me.
for the whole of december, i was on my own.
xmas on my own and all that.
den i started working for my dad..
and den he managed to come out of the home.
but was put under probation.
better than being put away, i thought.
things got better...
and then he started school...
things were still going really well..
only thing was that he got really protective.
understandable...
then was the release of my results...
i was over the moon.
11 pts! the greatest achievement in my life.
cos of that.. i got to go to the states!
to visit my relatives there.
anyways. i should stop here.
was supposed to just talk bout my secondary sch life.


anyways, i also wanna say...
how much i miss my UNIFORM!
omg. the ij uniform is the best uniform on earth.
i really missed it.
i remember the attention we used to capture..
especially when we walked in town.
even if we were the lousiest ij school..
it still made heads turn...
yeah.. i also remember..
we used to look at guys in branded sch uniforms.
schools like barker, acs i, sji, cat high, ri, so forth.
even schs like st gabs and montfort did make our heads turn.
those were the best days of my life...

*SMILES.

it's a bit too late...
but i'm still gonna do it.

2005...

the 1st quarter of the year was spent dwelling around doing absolutely nothing? right. the 1st month was spent at shell sengkang working for my dad. hell was it tough and i just couldnt stand the smell of petrol so i told him i wanted to quit. nevertheless, i met new friends at the station and it was cool. x) along with this, baby got out of boys' home. thank god... after one month of waiting.. it really was a relief he din have to go back in. he started school.. things went rather smoothly... went to bangkok with my aunt and cousin. had to keep it low profile from my grandmother cos she hates my aunt like poison. oh wells... shopped till i dropped. but it was fun! x)


soon.. the release of the O level results. yeah. it was nerve wrecking. i was so darn nervous. the day before the release, my mom asked me how i think i was gonna do and i plainly said, "die already la..." her heart prolly skipped a few beats. but oh wells. i still went. i can still remember clearly how that day went and i'll prolly NEVER forget. joce came to my place to borrow uniform(the last time we were gonna wear it) and also to hitch a ride to school. so yeaps. my dad sent us to school. we were already late. that was our idea. to go late, get our results and go. spare us the wait and the nervousness. my dad wanted to play a fool with us.. so as we neared school, he slowed down to 40km/h. hell yeah. i was so scared.

so when we finally got school, i told him parents to just go off to spare them the embarrassment. so they respected me and they left. i'd call them once i got my results. so joce and i ran up to the hall.. mrs poi was at the door when we got there and she rushed us in... mrs chan(my principal) was announcing some names. so we found and class and sat down. but just as i was about to sit down, mrs chan announce MY NAME. WOOOOAH.. wad's going on?? so i continued standing up. i turned to mabel and asked her wad exactly was going on.. and she said, "mary ann! you've got 5 distinctions!". and i said, "huh...? are you sure?" i was filled with disbelief. firstly, i got 28pts for my prelims. secondly, there's another marianne in the class. blarghs. but i clearly heard mary ann lee. so oh wells. i just continued standing. i text my parents to tell them bout what i got. they were in shock too. my dad started calculating my max score... which will be 13 cos chinese wouldnt have been one of my distinction subjects since i got b3. they rushed back to my school... my register number was 21 so i had to wait for half the class to get their results before i got mine. and even when it got to my results, my teacher wanted to test how nervous i was. she went, "here are all the information in you need to know.." and there i was hoping she'd just give me my results 1st. i could read all of that later... and so finally she said, "there you go. you've got 11 pts."

i was SHOCKED. i couldnt believe my ears&eyes. but yet i was elated. so so so happy. my parents finally came and they were so happy too. i hadnt seen that happiness in them for so long. my mom was so proud of me. it was evident in her eyes. when i got my PSLE results, they werent happy at all... (fyi: i got 234) i was just so filled with joy... den my mom went to talk to ms charles. (her ex classmate). she said that no one could ever imagine me getting As and ace-ing every one of my subjects. then mrs thiru came by and asked ms charles how i did... and ms charles said, " look! she aced it all. A2 for bio, A2 for science, A1 for maths, A1 for english. she can go anywhere she wants..." ahahhas. you have no idea how happy i was. i proved them wrong and i achieved my goals. all that effort i put into studying paid off! and also.. to alw.. now known as mindchamps. it was a total wonderful experience.


ok.. this is getting awfully long. im gonna speed it up.


for my great results, my dad agreed to let me go to the states to visit my cousins, aunties and uncles! x)) yayy!! i havent been there in 10 years. so my dad bought my ticket and i made my way there. my dad's friend's daughter was supposed to go with me but cos her mom din trust her going there by herself, i ended up having to go there on myself. x) but it was an experience... my whole family including my grandma went to send me off! hahas. so sweeeet. and my grandma even prepared food for me... worried i'd get hungry or something.


valerie my cousin picked me up from the airport. and then my journey started. all that fun and stuff... oh how much i missed that place.. visited several colleges. CAL state - san jose, stanford, UC berkeley and UC davis. how cool eh? i miss my apple cidar and bagel breakfast. i had to be very thankful to my cousin. so took time off work and school just to accompany me around. gave up her bed to me.. and well.. woke up early to buy me breakfast and stuff... aww. i love her to bits!! she took me to all the cool places and drove me around to wherever i wanted to go!

and den it's over to my uncle's at palo alto. that's where stanford is.. he took me around to cool places.. made me think of where i wanted to go... and even though he had a back problem.. he still drove me around for hours! yeah. aint he sweet? he's just really nice... and he's really chatty.. so you wun be able to fall asleep. that.. i'm serious!. hahas.

after that it's over to my aunt's in sacramento. she too took time off to take me around. and she cooks wonderful meals! gawd. you must see how much wait i've put on when i returned from my trip. a whole lot! she's just a wonderful cook. prolly runs in the family *winks. and because of me.. she had hungry jacks with me! how cool is that? hahas. she took me shopping... gave me money and bought stuff for me, my bros and my mom. blahblahblah...

ok.. cut short time.
den it was time to leave.. sigh... so sad... wish i could stay there forever!!!

so i made my way back. forgot to charge my player... so yeah. on my flight to tokyo, i had nothing to do.. so i just lasted on whatever battery i had and den slept. and when i got to tokyo, i found a power outlet and charged it! yayyness! hahas. the transit time was shorter.. only 2 hrs.. so i hopped on the plane and it was back to singapore.. home sweet home.


time passed and i started school in Singapore Polytechnic. yeah... diploma in business administration. orientation was boring. but i met a couple of cool people. only went for the 1st day i think? hahas. and then it was the 2nd downfall again... ben left me for his ex... i was so stranded. i was so upset i had no mood to do absolutely nothing. and den a week later he came back to me... he left for saudi a few days after.. and i spent my birthday without him.. only with friends.. but my birthday was still fun! right guys? yeah. we got wasted and danced the night away...


den my aunt and cousins came back to visit from the states! yeahh. ahhaas. had a wail of time. but i had to apologise for my lack of responsibility. i shyed away from all the things i've promised. siggh. i feel so bad. im really sorry. we made a trip to bangkok again! hahas. this time it was really really fun. all that shopping, eating and joking. it was great! x)) loved it so much. and we even made a friend! hahas. it's actually my cousin abel's friend. we bought so much that we had to pay excess baggage. hahas. so much for cheap stuff...


school was ok... workload started increasing. results were ok.. and den it started slipping.. i started cutting school more. but all was still fine. and den... exams. turned out pretty ok.. but i could have done better. so that was the end of sem 1. holidays.. was a blast. i spent my time wisely.. with friends. and den i broke up with ben. for awhile.. because he was with someone else but refued to admit it. i was happy there and then. until the last week.. i started to feel it.. but nevertheless, i tried to block it out. and then we got back together... things werent too great at 1st.. and then a series of events happened. i started to ignore him.. just wanted time alone... and i guess that was the pt in time i started to change.. my mentality bout relationships and stuff... and i suppose that was also the time he started to wake up.. and then came mindchamps grand opening. started talking to bernie again. oh yeah. we had a tiff.. so we lost contact for awhile.. yupps. but all was good. cleared the air.

and den came EU! woah. that was the highest pt! i swear it was. was on a total high after which. reflected on my life and kinda got things sorted out. i was gonna do certain things and i was gonna make sure i achieved it! ignored ben for 4 days. and i suppose that got him really thinking hard. and after the 4 days, i got back to him.. and things went really smoothly thereafter. i think the only problem now is me.. i get really petty around him and get angry very easily.. blowing up over little things and having very little patience. ok. i sound like a spoilt brat. but somehow i think i really am one. hahas =x sheesh. it's really hard to change back to how i was.. i don't know.. and then i kinda lost some feelings for him.. but i know i still have quite a bit for him. but i promise to be working on it..


so came xmas.. was totally broke. but i still managed to have some fun. was rather sad... no tree at home.. and everyone just wasnt really in the xmas spirit.. but it went quite ok. though it could have been better. spent it with the church peeps. and nothing beats time well spent with good friends. dis time was good cos ben spent it with me. we also managed to spend nye together! and that was like our anniversary. how cool.


something else i have to add.. 2005 came to a great end.. with my brothers getting closer to me. i can just feel the love.. x)

2005 definitely had its ups and downs.. but it was all good for me. hoping for a better 2006!!! x)
