Presenting....


Haha.. i love this makeover! call him.. Hip Hop Duck!

Anw.. my jazz lesson ended this afternoon. I had gr8 fun learning hw to do turnings today!!! Turning looks easy.. but .. it involves some techniques and attitude to carry it off. Ms Ng had fun watching me turn. She kept laughin at me... for being a noisy 'turner' (I alwys scream when i turn) and my ridiculously antic. Then, she said to me, "Sixian... You're v funny leh!" And continued laughing.

Oh well.. but she said i've improved a lot and gave me a pat on my back.
Most imptly, she said tt i've got the style to carry it off. (but obviously techniques still nt there.. hahaah)
Nvm.. I'm beginning to look lke Hip Hop duck.. got attitude man.

Ms Ng says tt e next jazz course is comin in september 2006.
I'll miss her...
In the meantime, I shall practice on my turning skill. Muahaha..
I'll be back...

Presenting... the man himself...














Mr Donald Duck!!!
AHHH... his mine! Shoo Daisy...






Geylang East Home For The Aged...

I volunteered to help out at the Geylang East Home For The Aged yesterday, tgt w Xinyu n Cher. The Home organised an outing for their old folks. We went to the Botanica Garden and had dinner at a vegetarian restaurant in Orchard.

The Botanica Garden!!
Some old folks had difficulty walking.. some are wheelchair bound. We had to be meticulous when it comes to takin care of them.










Some ah peks n ah mahs r quite shy. Of cos.. there r still some chirpy n bubbly ones. Haha.. Uncle Michael (below pic.. the ah pek facing camera) was doin a dance w his favourite buddy for the other old folks and some tourists. haha..











Found many tortises and DUCKS at the Swan Lake. I was so excited when i saw the ducks! They were walking freely and shitting freely along the lake.
One of the ah peks was watching the duckies strolling by.. and i caught him mumbling this to himself "ho jia" (means 'delicious' in hokkien)
omg.. faint! HAHAHAAH...

Haha.. i'm caught on e camera...
opps.. i left the ah peks behind to catch duckie. kekeke...


In the meantime.. I saw 3 couples having their wedding photoshoots.

Felt sth stirring within me when i took this pic. Hmm.. wonder wat this ah pek was thinkin as he saw this newly wed couple posing for photo.
Ah pek, a penny for your tot?

..:Some random tots:..

Since young, we were taught tt doin a gd deed makes one happy. 善有善报.
I think I've gotten over this phase.
And i'm glad.. I did.. while keepin in mind e significance of wat they mean.

Its nt jus abt making myself happy over good deeds.
In fact, i dun see why looking after old folks is merely a 'good deed'.
Its sth natural.. jus lke hw parents look aft their children.
Too bad.. its taken for granted.

I wont say tt a simple outing lke tt gave me a tremedous change or made me a better person.
But at least, it sets me thinking...
abt taking care of my parents when they grow old...
abt me......... when i grow old..



I wish tt... my kids can grow up w their grandparents.


It will be a beautiful thing.

Duckie Ho was the Resource Personnel for the NUS ODAC Race 4 event. Race 4 is like the Amazing Race... and it lasts for 3 days.Haha.. Resource Personnel sounds damn pro rite.. well basically i'm just a helper.. helping out at 2 stations for Day 1.

Me, Fran n Xinyu went to Portsdown Railway Station and Marina Bay Prawn Fishing place.

Din manage to take much pics at the railway station... cos the gals were busy spraying repellents all over our bodies. Mozzies were v happy to see us there. The guys were rather amazed by hw fast we used up e repellent.. hahah! Fran n I were stationed at the railway tracks... to look out for oncoming trains. Wah.. such noble job! Fran nearly dived into the stones near the tracks when an oncoming train came along!


Venue: Marina Bay
Spotted: Eric, Xinyu, Fran, Ian and prawns...
Description: All of us were tryin to fish for prawns while waiting for 18 teams to arrive at this final stop for the day.

I went joggin this evening.. ard 7pm.

When I first stepped into the stadium, I nearly fainted.

I saw a big crowd joggin.. walking... talking on the tracks. They are not footballers but just ordinary heartlanders. Weird.. since when s'poreans become so health conscious?!!! R there MPs ard?? Hw cum so many ppl??? Hmm.. maybe there's some walk-a-jog thing goin on.

Anw, the stadium was v dark. I think they want to save electricity. Sooner or later, its goin to be a new hotspot for couples. Its quite romantic to jog in the dark.. cant rlly see e path ahead.. esp lane 1.. (my fav lane to jog).

Its rlly fun to observe ppl while jogging. Some were listening to radio.. its v loud.. not mp3 or ipod tt kind. I wanted to stalk them.. in order to listen to the music. But i din wana scare them. Some guys jus love to sprint pass gals. Then.. aft a while.. u realised tt .. they r panting and need to rest aft they sprint passed u. Hahaha... and there's one scarry incident: I was joggin happily and suddenly i heard a loud sound.. it goes "pooooooot"! AHHH.. terrorist?!!! No la.. the sound came fr lane 6 uncle. Gosh.. i wondered who's tt unlucky person behind him. When i turned back, i realised tt.. its my SISTER! hahah..

If a guy look into your eyes deeply and say, "I think I wished for you all of my life".

Take a few seconds to savour tt sentence. No rush.

How wld u hve reacted? If its me, I wld hve melted.. i mean.. tts soooo swweeeeeett!

Provided tt he din continue e line by sayin this, "I think I wished for you all of my life becos.. you've made me understand what's imperfection's all abt."

I believe tt no gals will melt.. they will instead... .....kee siow.

Hahha..
Ok, enuff. The first statement is so beautifully written. Yes.. got tt line fr Cecelia Ahern's bk. She's lke me.. we r both ... genius :)

I'm crazy over her. She's e most talented author. *hug her till she explode in my dreams*

..duh ba bomb..

Due to the extremely dangerous stunts i did last wk .. (i.e, jumpin ard in my room), I cldn't turn up for last wk's street jazz lesson.

Oh boy... i miss Ms Ng (instructor) and the gals..

Today.. i'm so excited to get back to the dance studio! Learning new dance steps and laughin at myself in the mirror again. WHEE.. I'm so glad.. Ms Ng rmbed tt i din turn up last wk. When she asked me why i din turn up, I actually replied i strained my ankle (while pointing to my kneecap). wat the?!!! And then, I din bother to tell her its actually my knee cap instead of my ankle. What was i thinking? I was lke in a daze.. lookin at her as if for e first time. Gosh.. hey.. i'm straight ok! Its jus tt i miss her and i've said b4, I lke her as a teacher. Nice lady.

Anw, the gals made my day. 'The gals' refers to 3 new frens i've made in this dance course. They r little kids to me.. cos their age ranges fr 15 to 18 yrs old. Ha.. and guess wat? They tot i'm also a secondary sch kid. Hahah!!! They asked me "which sch are u fr?". I stopped to think for a while.. i mean.. it has been quite some time since someone asked me "which sch r u fr"? It suddenly brought me back to my sec sch memories. Anw, i slowly replied to them, "er.. actually i'm in uni "
Ya.. and they jus gimme this priceless expression .. mouth open.. gasping. Haah.. so cute.. so adorable! And most importantly, they said i dun look lke a 20 yrs old. Love them loads.. kids dun lie, rmb?

wahahaahhaahahhaha

Ok.. now.. for the bad news...
Shucks.. my kneecap is hurting a little.
OH oh...

(haven c0me up w a title. Anw, here it goes...)
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx

Close my eyes,
drifting into a deep trance.
Haven't found a way to the aisle.
No idea whats going on,
dun plan to carry on.


Break free from my comfort zone,
I prayed to my soul.
Too much load to move on.
Too much love to hold me back.
They say,
Life is good, so be good.
Revolts will bring pain
and only the unwelcomed stays.

chorus:

I dream of diving into the sea
without an oxygen tank.
Kissing an imaginary man
who loves me like the world's gonna end.
Sing to an empty audience
whose hearts soar with pride.
Yea.. they soar with pride.
And join me in an adventure ride.
Stay with me.
And I'll be alright.


Listen to my unsaid words.
Look into my eyes only after I've cried.
Put your fears and insecurities away,
and you will love me more than before.
Let me fall, let me loose myself.
I promise that i'll be back for you.
This time round,
A whole person.


I dun have wings to spread or flap
but I have an insatiable appetite to learn to fly.

We r still e same... same old bunch of silly, nauti, hyperactive & full of nonsense gals.

Eversince sec 1...

We lived in our own world, away fr e seemingly endless chaotic world out there.
A few yrs down e road,
each one has her own dreams to embark on.
Each one has her own path to choose.
Each one has her own probs to face.
But at e end of the day,
We are still the same old happy secondary sch gals.
Tt is.. our true selves.

TKGS.. my fondest memory for sch life.

Most importantly,
We r still the same.. same old bunch of irrisistably lovely, sexy, crappy & affectionate gals.

Had a conversation w mum n found out dad's 50th bday wish by chance.

Here it goes:

Me: mummy.. do u know wat dad wans for his 50th bday? Did he reveal his wishlist in his dream while sleeping?

Mum: (pondered for a while) Hmm.. actually he told me.

Me: Then.. why din u tell me?!!! Aiyoh.. then can save me e trouble rite?

Mum: But.. its quite impossible to fulfill it. (Mum gives a serious look)

Me: Oh c'mon.. tell me. As his beloved daughter.. i hve e rite to know!

Mum: Ok.. he hopes tt ... he can hve a dinner w his daughters' bfs.

Me: (Mouth agape & speechless for a v long time)

Mum: see.. i told u. hahaha..

Me: mum.. u shd hve told me earlier.. then i can go choose some guy on e street to be my bf for one day. I mean.. hw do u expect me to grab someone to be my bf within such a short notice?!!! ARGHH...

Mum: (stare at me in horror)


MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAA...
WOAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA...

My family is so cute.

难过的时候，怎么减轻心理的痛苦呢？

是窝在床上，好好地痛哭流涕？
家里如果有人，不方便发泄心情。
那么，也只好忍着伤痛。
尽量不要让别人担心。
不想麻烦别人。

原来要好好地痛哭一场，
也需要“天时地利人合”的道理。
哼，真可悲。

或者选择好好地睡一觉，
隔天起来，
就没事了。
真的是这样吗？
不要说是为了“逃避”。不要看不起他。
没有几个人可以真的放下。
起码，没有一觉不醒。
是吧？


Drinking drown your sorrows.
抽刀断水水更流，
借酒消愁愁更愁。
醉的时候，反而是最清醒的时候。
不，不是酒醉的“醉”。也不是宿醉的“醉”。

已经不是那么原始的消极。


最近对游泳产生了新的感觉。
恋上了水里的世界。
很朦胧，却很真实。
很安静，却还能听到心跳声。
原来，心跳可以这么大声。
把自己沉浸在水中，
再也看不到自己的眼泪。
又或者，眼泪全被它们吞噬了。

游泳的时候需要呼吸。
不管是蛙式或自由式。
否则会溺死。

这跟做人的道理，
好相似。
我。。还在呼吸。
虽然，差一点忘了呼吸。

但是，我会努力尝试。

After I passed my driving test...
Mummy bought me a NEW CAR!!!


Its so damn cool...





I name it "Mr Fiery Mouse"



































So cool rite?!! I've told u!
Even e wheels hve lightings..
It can do many stunts... like e wheels can twist ard..
oh, did i mention tt e wheels can turn 360 degrees?

It is neither an auto nor a manual car.
It is ... a remote controlled car :)



Actually, i feel tt buyin this car is merely part of mummy's plot...
well.. u know.. to distract me fr my favourite hobby ---> jumping ard!
Anw.. i must say she succeeded! (at least for a few days :p)

let me tell u a tragic story...

2 yrs ago..
Duckie was jumping ard in her room.
The higher she jumped, the happier she felt.
Then suddenly, she heard a loud crack.
She ignored tt sound n went for a bath aft jumping.
Tt midnite.. she felt a sharp pain in her left groin.
She tot tt it must be a muscle ache.
But the pain got worse as every sec passed by...
it took her 5 mins to crawl fr her study table to her cosy bed. (jus 2 steps away)
By e time she reached her bed,
she sweated like crazy.

Papa Duck n Mama Duck have fallen asleep.
Sister Duck was tokin on e phone w her fren.
Duckie din wan to worry her parents n wake them up fr a gd nite sleep.
Duckie had no choice but msged her sis this "jie.. save me.. i'm dying"
A few mins later, e entire family has been awoken.
Duckie cldn't moved. Every little movement made caused hell of a pain.
In e end, the ambulance was called in.
2 men barged into my hse n put me on a stretcher.
i was brought to the Singapore Changi Hospital aft a bumpy ride.

Duckie was sent to the Accidents & Emergency department.
Duckie had 4 injections to help her relieve e pain.
No nurses cld believe wat they've heard.
"Wat? u were jumpin ard in ya room?" They gasped.
I think some might hve burst out laughing. Who knows? I was in a sub-conscious state afterall.

xxx xxx xxx

2 days ago,
I began jumping ard in my room once again.
Nearly forgotten what i've gone thru 2 yrs ago.
Again, i felt a sharp pain.
This time rd, it was at e kneecap area.
"oh no.. not again," i tot.
i prayed n prayed..
hoppin tt i wont end up in e hospital again.

Phew, i survived tt nite...
n everything went back to normal..
well, almost normal...
except tt..
i cant walk normally for a few days..
n.. i was banned fr jumping by my parents!

Argghh!!!

I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST YESTERDAY!!!

I'VE MADE IT...

CONGRATULATIONS, DUCKIE HO!




P.S: i cldnt find any pics of me driving.. but i found a pic of me scuba diving. Can rite?

该做的都做了。。。

该烦的都烦过了。。。

还想怎么样？

豁出去啰！！！

不要再紧张了。。。
不要给自己任何机会后悔。

Dad n Mum struck 4D on sat...
No la.. I'm nt moving to some condo or watever.
Its onli starter prize.. and the betting amt was v little.

According to mummy, everything comes w a reason.
Striking 4D is no exception.
2 wks ago, our family car kena bumped by another car fr the back.
Luckily no one was hurt.
Striking 4D seemed like a gr8 way to wrap up this misfortune.
Perhaps, we can call it "A Blessing In Disguise".
Of cos.. we dun wan anymore accidents nxt time. haha..

I rmbed on tt faithful friday (b4 striking 4D), my parents were quarelling.
When we struck 4D on saturday however,
it was like all bad things come to a halt.

There were onli laughters, huge grins, peace...

Money can rlly do wonders!
Haha.. i began to see a new light.
This phrase need not necessarily comes w a negative connotation. Isn't it?
hahaha...
(dun faint)

Anw, I din get any money. But i got sth in return.
Sth rlly sweet.. rlly cool!
U cant believe wat my lovely parents bought me!
Any guess?
(Dun peep, guess first!)


Its...













A TUB OF 'COOKIE N CREME' ICE-CREAM !
(Did u get it rite?)

Hahaha.. actually i wld prefer 'peppermint' flavour. But, 'cookie n creme' suits the majority best. Sigh, can't stand it..
I'm so considerate.

xxx

I'm satisfied already.
Ice-cream makes my day!

Sounds familiar huh?
Rmb those days in pri. sch, when u hve a reading day every wk. U r supposed to bring an Eng. Bk to read during assembly. Guess wat? I was a prefect in pri sch... and I was ic of a Pri 1 class when i was in Pri 5. So.. during those reading days.. I must say... I must confess tt... I DIN READ MUCH! In fact, i was making sure tt those cutee pies had a bk to read. And.. i din even bring my own story bk! Slowly, it became a bad habit: I merely parade ard my pri 1 cutee pies.. making sure tt they r staring into their bks. There were alwys bad apples in every class. I spent my time scolding them instead of reading. HAHHAA...

I'm nt an avid reader. But as I grow older, I've discovered tt a gd bk can indeed evoke this truly magical feeling within u. Action speaks louder than words. In this case, it proved otherwise for me. Words can be far more powerful than action. Sometimes, films jus cant capture this v essence.

I'm so in love w Cecelia Ahern. Her bks nv fail to stir up emotions tt i nv knew i'm capable of having. I dun like to rush thru e bks tt i'm reading. I like to savour the emotions of different characters and enjoy the intricate linkages tt the author tries to capture. Most imptly, I love to allow myself time to rethink abt certain episodes. Immerse myself into these characters.. villain or victim. These special moments r wat i deemed worth to be held on dearly when reading a gd bk.


There are no villains in her bks.
Even if there are...
To me, villains can always end up being the victims.
Things are alwys not wat they seem...

I find it difficult to fall in love w myself as i grow up.
Or rather, lets put it this way:
In this complicated world, its not easy to find ya true (natural) self.
In life, we are accustomed to too much things.
We are taught to react in certain ways, do things in certain ways tt r deemed appropriate.
Everything jus seemed rehearsed beforehand.

So.. falling in love becomes a blessing.
The best thing tt can happen to u.

Yes, falling in love need not necessarily include the opp sex in the eqn.


I've begun to fall in love with myself whenever i read Cecelia Ahern's bks in a library.
Smiling to myself as i savour every black print on the pages...
Gasping and frowning whenever the characters broke down and wallow in miseries..
(while those ppl in e lib wonder wats wrong w me)
Tryin to calm myself down whenever there is a twist in the story...
Re-reading my fav. parts again and again.. and nt getting tired at all.


I'm in love with this simplistic pleasure.
Its so natural...
Dun hve to answer to anyone...
Dun hve to be judged by anyone...
B cos.. nobody will share exactly the same feelings as me.
Every reader is unique and has his own share of the story tt he reads.
It belongs to THE reader himself.
Greatest privacy in life.

I suddenly miss the notice boards behind my pri sch classrooms.
They nv fail to say: "READING IS FUN!"

I've finally understand what this means now.
