IM SO SO SO RELUCTANT TO UPDATE MY BLOG 'CAUSE THAT WOULD MEAN MY FIRST EVER REDANG ENTRY IS GONNA BE ERASED FROM THE SURFACE OF MY BLOG!

ANYWAYS, SATURDAY WAS DINNER WITH JUNHAO AT JP! OH OH OH, I MISS SUBWAY SO! SO DINNER WAS AT SUBWAY AND WE HAD A LONG CHAT. HEY HEY JUNHAO, I HOPE YOU'RE FEELING BETTER NOW. (:

AFTER DINNER, IT WAS SOCCER TIME! LIVERPOOL VS EVERTON AND HOHOHOHO, LIVERPOOL WON!!! GO TORRES GOOOOO!! WATCHED F1 AFTER THAT WITH MY WHOLEEEEE FAMILY. POOR THING ALONSO, WAS DISQUALIFIED DUE TO HIS ENGINE FAULT. BUT HEHEHE, HE GOT THE FIRST DURING FINALS!! RESILIENCE YO? THATS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT HIM!

SUNDAY WAS RESTING AT HOME! AND F1 WATCHING!!!! DAMN HIGH DAMN HIGH! BUT IM SO SAD I CANT BE THERE TO WATCH! HEARING THE SOUND OF THE ENGINES CAN ACTUALLY SET ME IN THE SUPER HIGH MODE. HAHAHAHAHA.

MONDAY WAS OUT WITH JOC! WATCHED VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA. DAMN SILLY SHOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN. HAHAHAHA! SHOPPED AROUND PS, ORCHARD, BUGIS. AND HOME SWEET HOME!

TODAY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MEETING RACHEL BUT LAST MIN, SHE GOT TO HELP HER MAMA OUT AT THE SHOP SO SHE CANT MAKE IT TO MEET ME. BUT HEHEHEHE, WE'VE SET ANOTHER DATE TO MEET! SO IM HAPPY AGAIN! I MISS YOU LA DARLING!!

ALRIGHT! WASH UP TIME!

yes, i failed my TP laaaaaaaaaaaaaa. but its okay, i'll be fine after whining.

hahaha, i know this is random but through this failed TP, i can see how much my family and friends love me.

mummy went for her friend's church wedding and wasnt able to fetch me from BBDC after my test but the first thing she came home was to ask, xinyi reach home already? she knew my results and asked me to try harder when i called her at BBDC. my other family members didnt tease me for failing my TP. instead, they asked what went wrong and told me to try harder. i love all of them. (:

my friends were awesome also.
they msged me before TP to wish me luck.
called me after TP to check if i was okay.

an irony this may seem but im really happy even though i failed my TP. to those whom i whined like mad on the phone, thank you for listening to my grumbles.

i promise i'll work doubly hard to make sure i pass my TP no matter how long it may take. if i press on, i will definitely get the license. with pure hard work. (:

anyway, friday's dinner with the band girls was hella fun! we took lotsa silly pictures as usual! HAHAHA. i'll update about it again tonight 'cause if i dont make a move nowwwww, im gonna be late meeting junhao for dinner!

take care everyone. (:

hehehe, hello everyone.

its been yet another week. that means, school's starting soon.

like what i mentioned, last saturday was spent at winnie's 21st chalet. the food there were awesome, the host was wonderful and everything went well. wanted to stay over at the chalet but in the end, i accompanied my sitimaizura home.

sunday was spent sleeeeeeeeeeepppping at home and doing something really meaningful. (:

monday was out with joc. had driving in the morning before meeting her and hehehe, we carried out our all-time favourite activity together over at bugis. i went to bai bai at si ma lu for my driving but sighhhhh... i forgot all about praying for driving. after praying, we went around walking and shopping and dinnering.

tuesday was driving again and i went back to pray at bugis for DRIVING after that. hehehe, see how sincere i am? ;) was supposed to be meeting meijing for kbox but in the end, it was cancelled. baby, we meet up again soon okay? (:

wednesday was winniechong's actual birthday!

thursday was supposed to be botak jones with maiz and dean at night. but my bad driving instructor asked me to go for driving from 8PM-10PM. so i cant make it on time to meet them. nevermind nevermind, we'll meet up again next week!

see how fast the week past? its friday now and im freaking having my damn TP tmr. i hope i pass. if i manage to pass tmr, i'll drive mum and dad home 'cause they said they'll pick me up from BBDC no matter if i pass or fail. i think they are afraid of me falling into a huge trauma and cant find my way home, thats why. HAHAHAHA.

hehehehe, im half-fasting today with my band girls 'cause im meeting them for break-fasting dinner later before my driving which is another turn off timing. 9PM-11PM.

alright, time to wash up but NO FOOD. im fasting. ;)

p.s. to all my lovely cupcakes:

ferynn darling, i know you're trying hard to move on. im proud of you. (: like what i always tell you, im here for you. if you need anyone to talk to, hellooooo remember theres limxinyi here. im accessible through all means. you know all of us love you very much so you take really good care of yourself and love yourself as much ya? trust me, you'll find a better guy. i love you.

jac baby, im here for you also when you need me. i know you're a strong girl but when you're feeling vulnerable and need someone to cry to, you can always come to me. i love you too.

junhao and kahyong. hahaha, dont always say im hard to contact la. like what i always tell you guys, if you guys call, i'll put down whatever im doing to talk on the phone with you'll. thats what i promised the both of you and i'll carry out my promise. dont be shy to call me and if you guys cry, i'll help you keep it as a secret. HAHAHAHAHA. alright la, i love the both of you also even though the both of you always find thrill in bullying me. you guys are psychotic already. hahahahaha.

i know im not a good adviser when it comes to relationship but i hope i can be of a good company to help all of you pull through this difficult phase of your life. through thick and thin. yes, cupcakes, through thick and thin. (:

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY WINNIE!!!

im really fortunate to have you as my band senior, my listener, my adviser and definitely, my friend. its amazing how we're still in contact even after secondary school and you're prolly the only senior that i still keep constant contact with. whenever im feeling lousy, you never fail to cheer me up, listen to me and give me advises accordingly.

it was a pity that we only got this close recently when we hang out together during band practices, after band, during band performances, our fish spa and random dinner meet ups. being with you is never boring because you'll always be full of surprises and even when some moments were quiet, i never felt a tinge of awkwardness.

i guess ive never told you this before. you're always a friend that i respect. seeing the way you put in effort in whatever you do, the pitless amount of patience that you have for the band juniors and your lil' tutees and the patience you had in my silly-ness and slowness. you're someone whom i truely look up to.

i know bullying me is one of your favourite hobby because you're perpetually bullying me whenever i see you, i still love you nonetheless. i hope you had an awesome birthday today and thank you for inviting me to your birthday chalet.

you're the person who taught me not to be gullible.
you're the person who hang out with me late at night over at bullfrog.
you're the person who is willing to sacrifice anything for friends.
and you're definitely the person who taught me HOW TO BE BITCHY. HAHAHA.

i lub you deep deep winniechong. :)

oh god, im starting to tear now.

hello all! this sucks. im having my TP next sat and im freaking out whenever i think of it. i reckon i will fail this TP big time but hell man, i just do my best and leave it to the tester to pass or fail me. anyway, i really worked hard. i went driving on thurs and fri also.

after driving on thurs, went for macs breakfast with eric, went town, went swimming and home! lo and behold everyone! its been ages since i last swam a proper swim and woooooot, i swam 6 laps (12 rounds) on thurs. my whole body was jelly after swimming but it feels hell good after a good workout!

supposed to meet maiz and dean to town but i had to help granny with the 3 lil' pigs (kids) at home.

friday was driving againnnnnnnnnnnnnn in the morning at 7! went to collect my love from the repair place and home sweet home to zzz. headed town after that for dinner surprise for jaslynkangkiatsim!!

met up with shu an and meijing first and walked around town. ORCHARD IS REALLY BORINGGGGGGGGGG. soooo, as we guessed, jaslyn would cry in shock + surprise upon seeing us. had dinner over at newton circus and ta-da, there goes my effort of swimming 6 laps. edward drove us home after that. good time spent with all of them! LOVELOVE!

today's winnie's birthday chalet. meeting maiz at 430. so here i am, lying on my bed and updating my blog 'cause ive got to nua until 3 plus when its only 1130 now! okay, im feeling a tad hungry now.

my redang girls and i!

hahahaha, dear all. the fishes and corals are for real. no edition or photoshopping. now you know why i want to get back to redang asap? it feels like heaven there. no stress. no worries. just plain relaxation and joy.

i love snorkelling 'cause its during snorkelling can i find serene and peace that i wont be able to find in singapore.

i love the people there 'cause they are real friendly. to the extent that you can walk around laguna redang saying HI almost every 5 mins.

i love the sea there. its so blue it looks so fake.

i love the fishes there. its so pretty you feel like staying underwater with them longer.

i love the corals there. they are amazingly pretty.

i love my redang partners. partners oh partners, redang again? promise?

i love everything about this trip.

okay, if you dont mind reading, let me bring you through our 4D3N redang trip expedition!

joc, peishan, shirlyn and i set off for redang on sunday night in our not very comfy coach ride to redang. we had fun gossipping and watching peishan crying. HAHA. watched hancock on the coach and we forced ourselves to sleep.

after 10 hours of coach ride, we finally reached our jetty! waited for the vessel to ferry us over to redang island. it was a 1 hr ferry ride. hail all of us for enduring the 11 hrs of trip to redang!

after reaching the awesome island, we had to go through briefings, registrations and check in.

after all the admin stuffs, we went into our room. joc had a nap while the rest of us caught 夏日的麽麽茶 and singing the addictive, 浪花一朵朵 and 快乐不快乐.

hahaha, now as im blogging, im humming 我要你陪着我，看着那海龟水中游，慢慢的趴在沙滩上数者浪花一朵朵. hahaha! for those who doesnt know what im talking about, 夏日的麽麽茶 (summer holiday) is a movie which setting's right smack in laguna redang. we took some pictures with the more more tea inn. i'll post more of the pictures when i get them from joc.

anyway, after resting for alil' while and the madly many times of singing of the songs, we rented our equipments, sanitised them and prepared for SNORKELLING! my favourite activity now!

as it was our first time snorkelling, all of us got alil' paranoid of the fishes and our first snorkelling wasnt as fun as the later 2. i was so unlucky 'cause i got stung by jellyfish and lo and behold, i think my skin is so thick to the extent that i only felt the pain when i was on shore. the stung felt bumpy and stinging pain. as all of us were amatuers to jelly fish stings, i didnt know i was stung until the next day. HAHAHA.

snorkelled, washed up, made up and dinner time! after dinner, we had a couple of drinks and ice kachang in the pub by the beach and we went to the beach 'club' to dance and get all high. HAHA. after which, we went to look for the blue sand. the blue sand is a phenomenal sight.

come, let me explain how the blue sand comes along. amongst the damn soft and pretty sand, you'll find blue sand. it sparkles in blue and its actually plankton that were left on shore after the tide got lower. it glows blue and when rubbed with friction, the sand will continue glowing in blue. a waste is that it cannot be taken down by camera because of the lil' blue glow.

after walking by the sand, we sat by the beach, chatted and waited for the stars to come out. the people there said shooting stars is very common in redang. but, for the 2 nights in redang, it was cloudy. so not many stars this time round.

the second day was HELLA FUN. we went to marine park for snorkelling in the morning after breakers. the fishes there were awesome and there's this shipwreck in marine park. the 4 of us went to take pictures with the corals under the shipwreck and it was there that shirlyn also got her jellyfish stung and joc got her cut.

hahaha, so after marine park, all 4 of us, esp shirlyn and i, got real paranoid when there were mentions of jellyfishes. and ive no idea why, the whole of the snorkelling lifesavers knew about our madness over jellyfish and started teasing us when we were snorkelling in the deep sea in the afternoon.

after marine park's snorkelling, we went tanning. surprise surprise, the other 3 girls applied suntan oil and i applied sunblock, ('cause im very prone to sunburnt and i know after applying sunblock, i will still get tan) they didnt get tan at all. and im the one turning brown. HAHAHA.

we made a couple of friends over there. lake, matyi and the guy who had to push everyone down the sea to take the pretty pictures. soooo, during our afternoon deep sea snorkelling, matyi brought us around the sea to see amazing stuffs. things that not everyone can see unless you know the people there.

THE SNORKEL TRIP MATYI TOOK US AROUND WAS BREATHTAKING-LY PRETTY. it will forever be etched in my mind.

after afternoon snorkelling, we went back to wash up, made up and prepare for dinner! dinner was good.

after dinner, we went for massage! shiok! after massage, we went to purchase our underwater pictures, mahjonged and went for another night expedition with the 3 new made friends. hehehe, they brought us around the island to look for more blue sand and walk the long beach.

after the walk, we went to another pub by the beach to have our drinks and chit chat. played 5-10 with them and did really silly forfeits. poor lake, got bullied by peishan and had to do more than 10 forfeits. HAHAHA. it was hell fun. we hung out together till 3 plus in the morning as the guys had to wake up at 8 plus the next day for their snorkelling work.

we went back, washed up and concussed on the bed. after breakers, we had to part redang goodbye.

now as im blogging, im missing the fun i had in redang. i promise myself i will go back redang again soon. friends, fishes, corals and sea. i will be back to look for you guys, i promise.

alright, this entry is reallllll long. you are certified super patient if you've read till here.

I THINK IM GONNA REPEAT THIS A MILLION TIMES. I LOVE REDANG! (:
