NTU, the place i'll be for the next 4 years.

i remember 2 years ago when i posted something similar to this, 'ACJC, the place i'll be for the next 2 years'. and those two years passed by so quickly. it was a very short stay in acjc, and i have to say i don't have much memories of my time in ac. i was relatively inactive, and well my main purpose was basically to be there and finish my As. i do regret abit, cos i wasn't participating enough in my CCAs and all, and perhaps thats why i wasn't too sad when my two years there were up. But, i've met some great people there in ac, and i'm thankful for that. But lets not waste time thinking about what i should have done but didn't do, and focus on what i'm going to do in future.

the ntu offer was abit of a shock to me because i was happily shopping with oli at topshop when i got this call. it was so unexpected and it took me a few seconds to realise that they're actually giving me a chance to do sociology in ntu. i mean even though i think ntu is cheena and all, and super far, its still a better offer as compared to sim right? so they asked me to go down for a test and interview the next day and i went, i guess it went okay, then i received the acceptance letter last week. i'm happy of course, because i know my A level grades are not great, and well i'm thankful that i've found a place in a local uni. furthermore, i would be able to experience 'campus-life', as compared to sim. i'm not too sure what to expect, because uni life is so different. i mean even with the application process and everything now, its very confusing, and i constantly feel very lost. well i'm hoping that i can transfer to econs though, because after all, econs is my passion. and ultimately, its the route i want to take in future. well i'll just have to work hard and make full use of my time in ntu. i'm not going to make any major plans just yet, cos everything's still so uncertain.

2 more weeks till school starts. i'm excited yet nervous at the same time. but i hope that day comes soon, cos i'm starting to get bored of the holidays. i can't believe i'm saying that! another reason why i'm looking forward to it, cos uni somehow equates to more freedom? haha i dont know how true that is, but i hope so (:

oh yes, i took my piano practical test today, and i did really badly. the room was so quiet, and piano sounded so electronic, and the peddles feel very different. plus, i was so nervous, and in the end, i performed very very badly. my sightreading was terrible. and so are my scales and pieces. i don't think i'll pass this time round. i don't think i'd continue to do my exams for grade 6,7,8. its too stressful and it takes the fun out of playing the piano. i mean when i see the piano now, i feel really 'sian'. cos most of the time when i'm playing the piano, its for my exam. i dont like that. from now on, i think i'm just going to pick pieces that i like, and play them. perhaps that way, i'll learn to appreciate the piano more and love playing it.

anyway i was looking at my photo albums lately and i realised that ive change alot over the years. it was such a big difference. hahaa! i guess thats why people often say that ladies change the most when they're 18. i think thats true. 

wow this is such a long entry! i'm gonna stop here now, will update again soon if i've time (:

hello i'm back (:

yes i know it has been really long since i last wrote something, but somehow blogging just seems so tedious nowadays when all u can do is just post some pictures on facebook to show how u're doing. right?

but i guess i'll still keep this blog of mine (:

ahh i've been bumming around lately. but it doesn't feel like i've alot of free time to spare. i mean as compared to when i was working, which was ages ago, i feel busier now. weird huh. 

i just hope i get my driver's licence soon so i can drive around. having to pay cab fares and having to suffer bad driving is killing me. and so is the long walk out to the bus stop. i want my car please!

i guess my blog's just a place for me to whine lalala. 

school's starting! somehow i'm quite excited. i mean after all it's a new phase right? 

getting late now, gonna get some sleep.

(:

this bag is GORGEOUS.

OMG. this bag is so gorgeous i want it!

i'm sick of work ): i do the same old things everyday. omg if work's gonna be like that in future, i'd rather not work in an office.

maybe i'll be a florist! a boutique owner! something... just not this. okay yes i'm whining grrr.

im pretty irritated now, sigh my shoulders and back's burnt, i'm never ever gonna swim at 12pm ever again. i'm learning how to swim yay! so next time i can save myself and not drown. wheeee okay this blog entry is totally meaningless i know. but i just feel like ranting. myburntskinitchescosthestupidmosquitoesdecidedtobitemethere. u realise what im going through? ):

lalalalala im going to sleep.

good night everyone!

HELLO, AGAIN.

i know i haven't been updating for a really really long time, yes i'm actually aware that my blog is STALE. haha it has been almost 2 months. well everything has been rather monotonous ever since i started work. the times i get to spend with my friends and family has been very little. i'm starting to feel very deprived of everything. and i regret taking up this job. yet i can't quit because i signed this contract saying i'll be working here till 30th june. i seriously need to think of some reason to quit. grr. what was i thinking then? i must be too bored that i was desperate for any job coming my way. now there's so much i wanna do (or at least i think there's alot of things i wanna do) and so little time. AND, its suposed to be my holidays! well at least i can look forward to my europe/ states trip in may/june (:

i did some much needed shopping the other day with my mom and aunty. it has been quite awhile since i last went shopping with my mom. i feel quite guilty abt that ( i need to do something about time management!). well i was at taka and looking at the queue forming outside LV. it made me think : can an LV bag (the monogrammed ones) even be considered a luxury good anymore? i mean a luxury good is something you buy when u have a certain wealth status and probably something only a limited number of people have. its becoming so common for people to carry lv bags that it doesn't even seem like a luxury good anymore. its just becoming a normal good, with little class that comes with it. it is very evident that the living standards of singaporeans have increased of course, having more materialistic wants. that also means that the prices one has to pay for that exclusiveness and that sense of luxury has increased too isn't it? nowadays, what can be considered a luxury good anymore?

well, i've been discouraging my mom to buy LV bags lately and asking her to invest her money inc hanel goods instead. i don't know why but i just really like the style of chanel. its just so classy and feminine and chic. i mean when u get a chanel bag its so classy and it'll definitely last for a long long time. i mean the style is timeless. thats a bag worth investing. especially the 2.55 chanel bag designed by coco chanel herself. but i have to say karl lagerfeld is doing a really good job at designing for the house of chanel (: i guess that'd be my motivation to work in future, haha to fill my wardrobe with chanel goods hahaha thats not a bad idea. im sure i'll be quite motivated hahaha!

lalala. i shall start saving up for my 2.55 bag now. and i'll probably take 10 years. please remind me to spend less that contribute the money to the 2.55 bag fund thanks (:

omg i can't believe i'm so bored i'm writing such lame things.

oh yes, last month was a really happy one for me thought (: cos kath and donna came back to visit. i haven't seen u girls in a really long time! do come back more often okay? (: u both will be missed terribly.

and did i mentioned i'm addicted to gossip girl? yes i'm a gossip girl fan (XOXO, gossip girl, you know you love me ) (: i like blair's style. its so preppy school girl, feminine and chic. nice (:

anyway i guess this is all the ranting for today. gotta get back to work! (:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

i can't believe its my last yaer as a teenager. i feel so old now. i mean its like soon i'm gonna be like 40 or something without knowing it. scaryyyy.

anyway, 2007 was a good year. well, very good and nice things have happen, and i'm glad they have. my 2 years in ACJC has ended well, and i can say for sure that i had a good time in ac (: met some really great and nice people there (: and i'm glad that even as my jc years have ended, i'm still closest to my cedar girlfriends and that we still have so much fun when we hang out together! :D YAY!

well, the best thing i've done for myself for 2007 was to break up with he-who-shall-not-be-named, and getting together with rjr (:

i ended 2007 pretty well, hanging out with the girls (: i'll upload the photos here soon. haha we had steamboat, played cards ( daidee and MOLLY!) and taboo ( it was really fun!), and looked at eunice's really gorgeous photos from new zealand ( i wanna go there!!!) and well.. slept very very little. haha. it was a great night! :D we should do this more often haha! well u girls will probably expand horizontally since my mom's always force-feeding you girls. haha!

anyway nothing much has happened so far, i've learnt how to deal with the mom and boyfriend part. i mean my mom still doesn't know that i'm dating him, but i can tell her that i'm hanging out with him, but sometimes i still have to use some of the trustworthy girlfriends' names. i'm sorry babes! BUT! rest assured that you girls won't get into trouble cos my mom doesn't ask at all. (:

oh and donna and kath! really really looking forward to seeing you girls!
(if you're reading this )

lots of love,
emma
