Haha, it is customary for me not to blog during the exam period and then blog about the papers after all papers are over. xD So here goes.

29/06/2009 (Monday)
The first thing when I stepped into school was to see so many teachers wearing face masks and standing by the side gate to weed out anybody who looked sick. I saw 1.2, and I wanted to say hello to her, but the whole atmosphere was so serious and worse still, Transsexual was standing right beside her, so I didn't open my mouth and walked past her as if I didn't see her. I'm so sorry, 1.2! I swear that I'll greet you super enthusiastically the next time!! ='(

Monday was Econs paper. Lol, the cover page of the Econs paper really looked as if we were sitting for the real A-Levels exam. >.< Anyway, my Econs is gone-case, because I screwed up my case-study and did not write as in-depth as I would have wanted for essay. >.< The case-study questions were really hard!! =( On top of that, Mr Tan gave me the new time-table and to my horror, I realised that Ms Lee Wei Min and Mrs Wong aren't my Econs and GP teachers anymore. I'm depressed! T_T I guess I'm really very resistant to changes, which was why I suffered quite a bit during the first few weeks of because I couldn't help but to reminisce about the past year. Gosh, this cycle is going to start all over again. =( Moreover, Ms Lee WM is really the best Econs teacher around. I will miss her very, very much!! ='( I hope my new Econs teacher will be just as good, or even better. Ms Lee!! ='(

30/06/2009 (Tuesday)
I finally got to see my new Econs teacher. Salted Egg introduced her to us and she will be our new co-form teacher. I think I have quite a good impression of her lol! Hopefully she will be a good Econs teacher, if not I'll be pining for Ms Lee! >.<

My Chemistry paper is screwed, really screwed. The emphasis of the paper was on energetics, and walao, I swear that there were so many questions that I didn't know how to do lah, especially those on energetics!! $#(*&$^ And how to do that dot-and-cross diagram?! ='( It's over. I'm so sorry, 1.3 and 2.4! I've never done well for Chemistry this year, and I expect this to continue. I don't even know why I'm taking A-Levels in the first place. >.<

After the Chemistry paper, Jennie, Hai Wei, Shi Xian (Liang) and I went to the canteen since we were feeling very hungry. I saw Ms Lee WM and asked her why she isn't our Econs teacher anymore, and she said that it was not because she didn't want to take us. The new Econs teacher needs to have classes too. Haiz, anyway, I understand lah. Ms Lee will have to inevitably give up some of her classes since she is also the teacher with the most classes. Oh, but one thing that made my day was, Ms Lee said that she looks like me!! *high liao* =DDDDD Haiz, I'll miss Ms Lee like mad lor... I'll miss her cuteness, her "high-ness", her "aunty" behaviour and of course, her good teaching! Oh, and I'll never forget the fact that she was one teacher who laughed at The Fierce One when The Fierce One was "scolding" her about one of her student. Yes, I do agree. We two do have a lot of similarities! =D Rock on, Ms Lee, because you really do! =)

01/07/2009 (Wednesday)
无可奉告! 我在家里因为我那天没有科目要考! It's weird blogging in Chinese. >.< Haha, you should see my Chinese conversation with Jennie that we had on MSN last night! xD

02/07/2009 (Thursday)
I have nothing to say about my Maths paper too. It's effing screwed. I'm prepared to fail this paper. There were really so many questions that I did half-way. Sian... =(

03/07/2009 (Friday)
Finally, the last day is here! Physics students ended their last paper yesterday though... Lucky them. But thank goodness for the one extra day off for Biology students. I really needed it. >.< I saw 1.3 doing gate-duty at the main gate and said hello to him! I think that made me feel better. =) As usual, I think my Biology paper is screwed. The essay questions this time round were really tough leh! =( I misinterpreted one of the questions. There goes my 8 marks. ='( Photosynthesis and cellular respiration totally suck! I heard that other JC students only learn these topics only in JC 2, but anyway, never mind lah. I'd rather suffer now than later. During the paper, I saw someone walking through the hall from the corner of my eye, and as the person came nearer, I inevitably looked up and to my horror, I saw The Fierce One looking at my Biology paper. Tsk. I don't know why The Fierce One had to walk through the hall from the container classrooms while other teachers chose to walk the longer route when they saw us having our paper. zZz, that marks the end of the horrible mid-year papers.

After that, I went out with Jennie, Hai Wei and Shi Xian (Liang) to Vivo City, but I didn't eat anything because I had no money. xD I ended up travelling with an empty stomach on 188 to Choa Chu Kang. >.< Haha, my mother was nice enough to let me eat at McDonald's since they are having the $4.50 EVM meal. I hope they continue to extend that promotion! =D

Anyway, I've just realised that it has been a very long time since I had navigations for my blog. I think the navigations are a bit unresponsive, but it's nice to have a Cyworld layout in Blogger. I really envy those people using Cyworld who can get access to nice wallpapers cum calendars for their computers. zZz... Twitter is still not loading on my blog. >.<

Hi all! Haha, to celebrate the end of Mid-years, I’ve made myself a new blogskin! OK, I’m joking. It’s high time that my blog deserves a new look anyway. I’ve realised that pictures from Cyworld are really very nice, which is the picture of the girl you see! I feel sorely tempted to set up a blog in Cyworld since the layouts there are really damn pretty, but zzz, I have to brush up on my Korean before I destroy my blog. Anyway, the reason why I’m sticking with Blogger is because I’ve used it for more than 3 years already and I like my URL since it was a stroke of genius from me to name my blog “dazzling-dreamer”. Since I’ve decided not to set up a Cyworld account, I thought I might as well use the Cyworld layout on Blogger. So far, it looks perfectly fine to me, but apparently, Twitter and Snap-shots don’t seem to load. I have no idea why… =( I will continue to revamp my blog… Do keep a lookout for changes! =D

Yay! Congratulations to both Zoenin and Kim Yee for being clarinet's new SLs and Ng Yong for being ASL. Lol, both 皇上 and 闵大人 are SLs together. Tsk. They better not flirt behind my back. *shakes head at them* Thanks to Noobshit for providing me all the details on MSN last night. Don't ask me what I was doing on MSN when I was supposed to be mugging Chemistry. =X

Anyway, the juniors are planning to do something drastic today. I hope it works out. Somebody has to put an end to all these. My only regret was that we didn't get to do it and that caused us much unhappiness. So yup, go all out and thrash things with them! Wish you all the best!! =D

I've been dreaming a lot these few days... I have no idea why too. Some dreams were weird, scary, while the rest were random and funny. ._. Anyway, let me tell you of one dream I had a few nights ago. I found it so amusing that I actually woke up suddenly and wrote it down in my school organiser (Of all notebooks I have, really!) immediately.

I dreamt that Zhi Yi got dragged up to a plane by Mrs Lee Lee Mui to participate in some international Physics competition and she was crying because she haven't told her parents about it. So essentially, Mrs Lee kidnapped Zhi Yi to participate in that competition. I was totally stunned when I saw that, since I was sending my dad off to China too. LOL! xD After that, I dreamt that we had combines at the airport and we were tuning. Lol, Ms Chan's jaw totally dropped because our tuning note was damn perfect and our sound resonated throughout the airport. What a nice place to have combines in. xD

-Scene jumps to school-

We were back in school, but the school that appeared in my dream was totally different from RV in reality. The school had no shelter at all, except for the Science labs. It was raining super heavily that time, and we Klarinutz were totally drenched, with our instruments. We made quite a lot of noise as we wanted to take refuge in one of the Science labs. Mr Chen suddenly came out and scolded us because we were making too much noise that would agitate the atomic bomb they were trying to make and cause it to explode. O.O'''

Not long after, we saw Mrs Lim but she appeared super stunned to see people actually in the school. And here, my dream ended. -.-'''

----------------

This dream is nonsensical, trust me. I think I had a few other dreams concerning school, but I can't remember them anymore. I have more to blog about actually, but as I've mentioned before, time isn't by my side, so I have to go out for lunch with my grandmother before mugging again. >.<



Perhaps I do indeed live up to my reputation as a dreamer? o.O'''

After my exams are over, I will find a time to revamp my blog, and probably blog about a startling discovery I've made during the June holidays. xD Till then...
~'I rattled on @ 6/26/2009 11:02:00 AM'~




Yay! I've finally clarified my doubts with Maths with the twins! Haha, I think these study sessions are quite fruitful! I'm sure Shi Xian (Chua) agrees too! ^^ Anyway, I don't think I'll be blogging as often since Mid-year exams are just only next week. Uh-oh... And I curse MOE for not extending the holidays. I bet both MOH and MOE want to see people die from H1N1 before they take more drastic measures. Tsk. -.-'''

Anyway, I borrowed a few more books from the library today, which includes an Italian cook-book! ^^ I will try attempting to bake biscuits for now since the meals will be quite time-consuming. And time isn't on my side now. I'm only baking biscuits to relieve stress. I think after exams are over, I will bake biscuits to let my friends eat. =D I'll try attempting to make sorbetto al limone (Guess what does that mean! ^^ Italian is fun!! =D), zabaglione, lemon and almond tart, amaretti biscuits with pine nuts, hazelnut and chocolate biscotti, lady's kisses and the ever-so-tempting dark chocolate cake, which looks really super sinful. xD

Before I go, let me tempt you with something nice! Want to guess what is this? xD

I have finally finished watching East of Eden. Gosh, the last few episodes leading to the finale was really super intense lah! I got so 紧张 while watching them lah! But I must say that the ending was not to my satisfaction. zZz... Can you believe it? Lee Dong-chul died to save Dong-wook. Died leh!!! After all that he has done for Dong-wook and his family, the script-writer just had to make him die. ='( Thank goodness both Dong-chul and Young-ran got married before he died. Haiz... After going through so mugh together, I felt really very sad that Dong-chul and Young-ran didn't get the happy ending they really deserved. Oh yes, President Gook finally entrusted Young-ran to Dong-chul after realising that Dong-chul would be the only one who would stay loyal to him. I felt quite sad when President Gook finally died too, because he showed the fatherly side of him which was really very heart-warming. His parting words to Dong-chul and Young-ran in the ambulance were, "I love you two. Thank you. And I'm sorry..." Stupid lor... it's all Dong-wook's fault. He insisted on arresting President Gook even though he was already dying. That goes to show how heartless Dong-wook really is. ='(

Anyway, Dong-wook finally realised that all that Dong-chul did was for his good and that Dong-chul never ever plotted against him. If Rebecca did not reveal the secret to Dong-wook, I bet Dong-wook would have continued to act like Shin Tae-hwan. Anyway, Both Shin Tae-hwan and Rebecca died. Rebecca killed them both. Although I would say that it is fitting that Shin Tae-hwan should die, given all the various atrocities that he has done and gotten away with them, I felt quite sad that Rebecca died. She killed herself because she couldn't bear to carry on with her life after she herself did a number of bad things, the most significant one being the fact that she switched Myeong-hoon and Dong-wook when they were born, causing much grief and suffering to both the Lee and Shin families after the truth was revealed and making her own revenge such a scary affair. However, I still thought that Shin Tae-hwan deserved what Rebecca had in store for him.



Young-ran and Dong-chul! <3



Myeong-hoon and Ji-hyun hugging after Myeong-hoon went to reveal to the media what underhanded methods both Shin Tae-hwan and he have used in order to make Taesung a more powerful company. I didn't really like Ji-hyun ever since she married the Shin family because she became more power-hungry, but after realising that Shin Tae-hwan was only making use of her, she came to her senses and recounciled with both Myeong-hoon and his real mother aka Dong-chul's mother.


Rebecca revealing the truth about Shin Tae-hwan to Dong-wook. Shin Tae-hwan plotted to turn Dong-chul against Dong-wook, and Dong-wook, stupidly, fell for it. =(


Dong-wook crying after seeing a photo of Dong-chul and Young-ran... Yeah... Who ask you to blame your brother huh?



Dong-wook's showdown with Shin Tae-hwan...


Muahahaha! Rebecca really looks scary here...


Rebecca recounting the pain that she had to go through when Shin Tae-hwan cruelly opened up her stomach and killed her baby, which was also his child.


Shin Tae-hwan shedding a tear as he dies under the hands of Rebecca...


Dong-chul dying after being shot twice in the chest while trying to save Dong-wook. =(


Happy family!! This scene is Young-ran's baby 1st birthday celebrations.


Dong-chul in heaven seeing his own happy family. =)


End of East of Eden.

Poor Young-ran! Dong-chul died in the end, but never mind lah, at least everybody is now happy. That was what Dong-chul wished for anyway, so his wish came true. I will miss East of Eden a lot!! =( And haha, I've finished watching episode 10 of Beethoven Virus! Maestro Kang just blows me off with his unpredictability. xD I LOVE MBC DRAMAS!! =D
~'I rattled on @ 6/19/2009 04:45:00 PM'~




700th post here. My determination to study does not last long. I'm such a failure. =( I've been chiong-ing my Korean dramas like crazy and not touching my work. I really, really hope that the June holidays will be extended by one more week because of the rise in the number of H1N1 cases. My aunt says that it is likely that MOE will extend the holidays because of the number of students who are coming back from overseas and down with that flu. She has been told to get ready to ask her students to download their lessons from the internet. zZz... Please extend the holidays! I'll forever be eternally grateful to MOE should that really happens. o.O'''

Anyway, lunch at Crystal Jade Kitchen at Causeway Point was great as usual! Haha, it has been a very long time since I ate lunch together with my grandmother, aunt and cousin. Lol, my cousin returned from the US during the first week of this month. o.O''' Haha, I think I must have said it many times, but I swear that the food at Crystal Jade never fails to impress me!! I totally love the dim sum that I had there today, though I think I had an overdose of dim sum because of our obsession with dim sum. But still, I totally love Crystal Jade's dim sum!! <33333 The prawns used are really super juicy and succulent. I think the total bill must have set back my aunt quite a fair bit. Dim sum is not cheap at Crystal Jade you know... But the price you pay is the quality you get! ^^

After lunch, we went shopping at Metro and John Little. Haiz... I think I'm going to become broke after I go out and work. Seriously, those nice clothes at Metro are seriously very expensive!! >.< I saw this super nice dress by Woodwood and asked my mother to buy it for me. Her jaw totally dropped when she saw the price-tag. It was $71. I saw this black Arthur Yen's blouse which looks damn classy and chic and I wanted it almost immediately. That blouse cost $89. T_T I remembered that for last year's Chinese New Year, my mum nearly got for me another expensive Arthur Yen's blouse which really looked very nice. zZz... Because of my taste for expensive stuff, I think I will really become broke when I go out and work the next time. >.< Sheesh, I haven't gone down to Orchard Road's Robinsons and OG to take a look at the clothes there. Causeway Point's selections are a bit less varied. o.O'''

Oh yes, I'm proud to announce that by tonight, I will be able to finish watching East of Eden! I'm now on episode 54, so only 2 more episodes left! ^^ I'm finally back at it after a long hiatus. The main reason was because my mother didn't let me watch it from the computer because she says that I'm wasting electricity. Whatever lor... Anyway, I'm able to watch it because my parents bought the DVDs from Shenzhen, though I tell you, the Mandarin dubbing is awful, especially the voices for the women. They totally have the Beijing accent and their voices are super high-pitch. I can't stand it. But other than that, the story is good though it took me quite a while to grasp what is happening since I haven't been touching it for so long. But I really hate Dong-wook now! He is really becoming as evil as Shin Tae-hwan le... And Shin Tae-hwan is really such jerk who deserves death more than anybody else. And heehee, I love Myeong-hoon now!! <3 I found out that he's actually very nice! Of course he's nice, because he is Lee Ki-chul's son and Lee Dong-chul's brother!! =D OK, to hell with Dong-wook and Shin Tae-hwan. I really feel like kicking Dong-wook now. =(

I started on Beethoven Virus too because my mother has gotten the DVDs for it. I think it is still not too bad. Am I sadistic or what? I actually like Maestro Kang leh, because I think the way he 酸 and scold people is really very cool! xD And there's still some pretty good music played though I know that the people inside can't actually play to that standard. But really, the standard of philharmonic orchestras are really very high, which leaves me really awe-struck. Oh, and I really love the cello solo in Libertango, which was featured in episode 5! Jung Hee-yeon rocks!! <3 The girls playing the electric violins rock too!! xD







Awesome cello solo!! I especially love it towards the ending, where she plays double-stoppings consecutively. <33333 I swear that this is really not easy, considering the fact that I used to play the violin before. I really love the cello's rich, low sounds which resonate throughout the concert hall... Haha, I might want to learn the cello. xD
~'I rattled on @ 6/18/2009 09:08:00 PM'~




I think I have a love-hate relationship with handphones now... Especially those higher-end models. It sucks so much to know that I can never own them despite my longings. zZz... I don't think I'm making much sense here anyway. But haiz, I swear that handphones, especially Korean phones, make me just feel like selling off my laptop so that I can just buy those phones. Damn them lah... =(

I never had high regards for LG phones, but it does seem like they're getting pretty aggressive in terms of designs and functions these few years... Just take a look and you'll know. I have a soft spot for touch-screen phones that come with a key-pad, because I personally adore slide phones. My previous Samsung phone was a slide phone, which I reluctantly traded it for my Samsung candy-bar which is now worth $0 in the handphone market. -.-'''



LG GD900 Crystal. It's really damn chio can... Transparent key-pad... It looks fragile, but haha, don't expect it to break like glass. xD

Anyway, there are contests here for you to sign up if you want to stand a chance to win a LG Crystal phone. Haha, the contest ends on 19th June 2009, at 11.59 pm. So, do hurry!! ^^

Spot and Win the LG GD900 Crystal at Sparklette!

Here comes another touch-screen cum key-pad phone, which is also the phone which I have long been coveting after.



Samsung Ultra Touch. 16-million colour AMOLED screen which is also scratch-resistant. It's the first phone in the world to have both a touch-screen and a key-pad for users not familiar with the touch-screen format. It looks really very chic, and its 8-megapixel camera is an added bonus. =)
