daily reports

2007-04-01T18:14:00.000-07:00

been a long time since ive blogged.
each time i enter my blogspot, i felt speechless. brain dead.
events in my life has been passing in jet speed.
having my ITP nw at SIAEC (SIA engineering company)
basically during this 9 wks of ITP, we're divided into grps to go to 3 different workshops for a period of 3 wks. Sheet metal, safety equipments and landing gear.
im currently attached the sheet metal. living hell. period.
cant wait for it to end soon. its 8 more working days frm nw!

just finished with boulderactive. had a terrible performance. i got last. with another 13 competitors tied with me, the other 12 who were not in the same placing as us, got into finals. tt was hw bad i did. however, this setback makes me wanna work even harder.
wan did quite well. hasnt been climbing due to army life, but he still managed to clinched the top 4 position. quite an achievement for him!

chose personal financial management for my elective. hope it'll drill me with some money management skills. prolong the life span of the cash in my wallet. =)

going genting for a holiday next week! yea! relaxation time!

moving house ard june period, i cant wait for my new ROOM! finally! im getting a room of my own! my own private space. im gna have tv in my room for late nights vcd chiong-ing sessions!

boom boom boom

2007-03-07T06:23:00.000-08:00

im rather depressed these days. or probably even more today. man.. blame it on myself to bring upon such troubles.
lie low nw

climbing

2007-02-21T07:56:00.000-08:00

went to climb today. felt great man!
my great doesnt refer to my climb. but its the feeling of climbing, touching the tiles again, doing drop knee, locking, sit in blah blah blah. marvellous.
my climb nw is really rocky to the extend that i might be even rusty. but!
i think its the mentality that is gona pull me out from this shit.
all i have to do now is train harder.
yes, i do feel demoralised, beaten. but i try to psycho myself. psyche myself up!
go! carene! u can do it!

even wan say im livelier today. haha

gona get new climbing shoes. im buying fiveten anazasi slipper again. yes, boring, but it suits me. i love this shoe and since its serving its duty well, why shld i change it? my current shoe is in a rather bad state. the cover of the left side is torn and the right one has a hole underneath. bad bad bad. my want of buying a rockshoe has transformed into a need. hahaha

happy new yr!

2007-02-19T05:57:00.000-08:00

happy new yr everyone!
thinking of changing blog. i want sth customised. but i dno hw to do it, so brushed off that idea.
im totally enjoying myself here. relaxing, slping till late in the noon, reading books in comfort, watching vcd.
im starting to dread going to work everyday. thr's practically nothing for us to do thr, other than slack, slp, eat. gona get really fat if i do this everyday man!
after wrk, exhaustion drains me cos i have to wake up really early everyday for wrk. journey thr (to the wrkshp) takes bout 1.5 hrs, and my wrkg time starts frm 8am.
after driving, i have to either rush dwn for wrk at clarity cafe or for my driving lessons. i dun have much time for me to climb. =( getting weaker and fatter...
however, ive just planned my schedule. im gona stick to it! may carene be discipline to carry out every single task im assigned.
speaking of climbing. i haven been climbing for more than a mth. this is probably the longest break ive ever taken. being busy is one reason. another is cos, ive injured my shoulder. the aching pain dun seem to subside. pray hard that its gna heal FAST.
thr's some stuffs that happened that made me quite uncomfortable. maybe im being self centre or petty, but im quite irritated by some of these incident.
had a LONG talk with dessie and jack. both of them used their own stories to make me understand my situation better and to help me in my decision making. making me think of things in a different point of view. im still pondering on wad i shld do. maybe i shld just go along with things and see how they go. this might be a selfish and irresponsible idea, but its the only decision that i can make myself do.
on a lighter note, i think dessie has become better looking than before. haha, thg he's still ask violent to me. =(

post exams

2007-02-12T02:48:00.001-08:00

exams are finally over!
time to start meeting out with friends, take a brk to do things i love and enjoy.
supposed to be working this afternoon. but by the time i rchd bugis, i received a msg "sorry, u dun need to come down today". at first i was quite mad! i felt that my time is wasted.
din want to go back home, so decided to chill out at starbucks. read magazine, drank my usual mocha frappe.
it was actually a blessing in diguise. its been a long time since i had such luxury. enjoyed myself=)
met my mum in town to go shopping for cny clothes. we walked from taka to wisma, wisma to far east, far east to hereen whr i finally found sth i like. if not for the walking-trg at wrk, i would have collapse. felt bad having my mum and aunt walking round and round with me like that.
i bought this white dress which i think looks quite sweet ( of cos, if not why would i have bought it) haha. i like things to be simple.
as i walked ard far east, i saw lots of trendy dresses. those vintage, retro ones with lots of prints of flowers, leaves and etc. but i just dun fancy them.
my fav colour is white and black. so i was actually looking for a white dress. and this one caught my eye.
back from shopping nw. resting at home before going for my driving lessons later. im quite tired after walking so much. =( legs are breaking. hahaha.

day@clarity

2007-02-02T08:53:00.000-08:00

at work today, we had a function for this couple who were having their ROM dinner with their friends thr. its really sweet to see how this 2 couples are, holding each other promises and being there for each other in the future regardless of riches, poverty, sickness or wad have u.
awww..

was watching some dramas this afternoon, one little story captures my heart deeply.
"there are 3 brothers. named 'lose'. 'regret' and 'cherish'. however, there's 1 special thing bout them. u will never be able to meet the 3 of them at the same time. instead u will only get to knw them one after another. first, "Lost" then "regret" lastly "cherish". " this is life. bet, many people have been through this and everyone will go through this. everyone will knw these 3 brothers.

okok, better go bathe nw and then SLP!

balance of life

2007-02-01T08:17:00.000-08:00

i remember miss chiam(my former girls'brigade officer) once told me the some theory bout the water of life.
in our life, we have this container with 3 tubes. emotional, spiritual and physical. another effect on any of these 3 water levels, we will be affected in a way or another.
as we grow up, responsibilities and commitments increase. nw, i think in my container, its filled with 4 tubes. the usual emotional, spiritual, physical and academic.
my water is all decreasing rapidly.
eeling down, for many things that are happening to me, confusing feelings, pressurising decisions are all weighing on me. losing drive in my goals and aims.
im rather dry spiritually for the almost lost contact with Lord, not going church, not doing quiet time, not even praying to give thanks and seek forgiveness for the sins i committed.
physically unhealthy. respiratory problems, getting fat and lazy. feelg lerthargic easily.
academic-simply exam stress( could also be classified under emotions). period.

maybe its time for me to take some time off, to relax myself, pamper myself and do things just for myself.
time to be alittle selfish for my own needs.

before all these pampering and relaxation, study for my exams first!
jia you carene!

people out thr who are having their exams, all the best and study hard!

End of 2006, Beginning of 2007

2007-01-02T08:56:00.000-08:00

Its the end of 2006, guess i shld conclude this whole year.
been an eventful year for me.
-getting my siaec scholarship
-got 3rd in my 1st bouldering comp @ Rockmaster
-got 1st in my 1st speed comp @ National Inter-School Climbing Championship
-bought my w810i with my OWN money. first time. hehe
-training with asri. first time partners.
-got a job at ms clarity cafe
-register for my driving classes

i just hope the coming one would be better. smooth sailing. guess, tt's what everyone hopes for.oh yar! hope i can get my driving license soon! though i dun have a sense of direction, but i can have some manual GPS help.

just came home from eating frog porridge. its really nice. with ginger in claypot. one of the nicest ive ever eaten. and im nw craving for prata.
im starting wrk later. cant wait.

i need to start mugging! i mean mugging HARD. cant spend my time slacking ard, friendster hopping, blog hopping. waste of time! i shld cut down on my trips to movies and start saving up for my dad's present. its gna cost a bomb...

ASRI

2006-12-31T10:14:00.000-08:00

ASRI.
i couldnt tag ur board and i have lots of things to say to u, that's why im gona write it here. This entry is specially dedicated to u.

lots of thoughts are going through my mind.
First of all, i really want to say a BIG Gigantic THANK YOU. For taking time out from ur busy schedule to train me every week. i truly appreciate all these effort u have made.
no matter hw busy i am in the week,i will always try to keep tues and thurs free for these trg. it really meant alot to me.
thank you for pulling me up and lending me a helping hand in climbing when i was feeling so low and unmotivated to climb, when i am straying away from climbing cos of my poor performance and low self esteem.
u made me see the light. u pull me up frm the slump.
i try to put in 100% of my efforts during each session. doing wadever im told to do.
no doubt im feeling much better than before, but this isnt enough and u knw it.
i will strive towards my goal, with ur patient guidance. i will try to focus more, concentrate and block out negative tots that flashes pass my mind when im climbing.
i think there's still more for me to improve on. im nt gna be satisfied with this little achievement. it will only serve as a motivation for me to progress further.

trainings with u arent usually easy. u made me push myself beyond my physical limits. honestly, im a really undisciplined climber. i really need that external push by others to do what im supposed to do.
yep, and I WANT to have this trainings, leaving me aching all over my body the next day-knowing ive trained hard during the session.

i will try to remember different advices that u have bestowed on me. =)
HP:10%, MP: 1000%
i will remember this.
once and again. THANK YOU ASRI

rockclimbing

2006-12-14T08:44:00.000-08:00

Rock climbing is the sport of scaling cliff faces. Over the years, more and more people are discovering the joys of Climbing - whether as a sport or as a form of recreation. Climbing combines both anaerobic aspects and aerobic aspects of exercise and is hence an extremely healthy exercise. Often viewed as a brute’s sport, rock climbing is in fact a thinking person’s sport. This is due to the fact that you have to be prepared for any unforeseen changes once you are up on the wall. The dynamism of the sport, coupled with the adrenaline factor has rocketed the popularity of rock climbing in Singapore in recent years. As rock climbers, we climb.

indochine

2006-12-10T01:25:00.000-08:00

climbed in sch ytd. good climb. did routes after routes after routes. quite tired out.my finger strength and endurance is still nt thr. need to work on it.

went for dinner with wan,winson,zul at far east, rose garden. the journey there from sch took almost 2 hours!!! thr was a jam on the way and we were stuck. winson played "ah beng" throughout the whole journey cutting lanes each time he gets stuck. lucky he did that, or else, we'll be starved in the car. honestly, it wasnt as bad for me cos i fell aslp whn i got on the car. =P

ate jimba mee, hot plate noodles. not bad, but thr were too many ingredients, couldnt finish the whole thing. quite worth it for a $4 dish. after meal, we decided to go indochine and chill. psychoed winson to stay with us cos he was actually supposed to go and fetch his dad.

love the atmosphere at indochine. live band singing, friends chatting. great! but my flu was a total spoiler! kept having to go to the toilet to blow my nose. damn irritating. i ordered "sex on the beach" recommended by zul, light drink. wan ordered ocean mint(non-alcoholic), winson "zombie" and zul "butterscotch" which tasted like Woods cough syrup.

while enjoying the music and drink, zul noticed a bapok outside the bar, she was dancing to the music. my! she was wearing this turquiose tube and a black jacket. she looks quite scary, and she kept bouncing her "breast" to the beat of the drum. my gosh! that scene kept me laughing and laughing. the lead singer noticed "her" and dedicated "zombie" to "her". hilarious man.

i was like half drunk after my finished my drink and wan said that i looked like a lobster. i couldnt even walk properly. man, tt's bad, im nt gna drink so mch agn man!

beaching day

2006-12-03T03:27:00.000-08:00

pasir ris park.
munched sushi, portugese egg tarts, bread and pastries, herbal egg, tako pachi... yumyum.
chatted for hours.
tired and slpy.

day break

2006-11-28T18:49:00.000-08:00

having a day break frm the tiring sch week. pro-e lecturer cancelled class. feels that it makes no sense for me to go all the way to sch for a 1 hr lecture. so decided to slp in on my always comfortable body hugging bed.

bouldered a LITTLE ytd. why, emphasized the little is cos, i only did like 2 routes? and one of it tore the skin of my right middle finger. cldnt continue with the climb w that injured finger. totally demoralised after that. i just cant do that move!which i was able to execute it a dozen time the previous week. mental was totally destroyed. this is always the thg that make me want a break from climbing, but this time, im nt gonna give in the this little mind twisting devil! im gna fight on man.

got back some of my results for mst(mid semester tests)
mechanics: 94
aircraft electrical system: 84
understanding weather: 62 (din study...)
aircraft power plants: 90
aircraft maintenance and repair: 68

wanna share all these with wanwan but he finished his drill prac late and its was lights out by the time he msged me. :(
nvm, at least chewjing was thr and share stuffs with her. haha =)
my beloved mudpie

went andy's place for his 20th birthdaybash. was a great fun meeting up with the craziest people in my life. haha

here are some pics of that day

2006-11-08T08:17:00.000-08:00

missing my man lots!
although, its supposed to be HOLIDAY, my wk is still filled with activities! frm morning till night. but i think its fulfilling!

im enjoying climbing nw. it doesnt gives me much stress but just pure enjoyment.dun think so much. just keep climbing!

bored!

2006-10-28T08:28:00.000-07:00

im terribly bored today.

but laziness won me over and i stayed at home for the whole day, watching tv prog, reading my book and playing solitaire.haha
wan's nt out this weekend. nth much to look forward to for this weekend.

BORING!

sth wrong with karthi's phone, cant get thru his phone..

climbing

2006-10-27T09:03:00.000-07:00

went to climb at ITE Dover today. i like it thr! with the interesting tiles, structure of the wall and most imptly, its the climbing atmosphere, the make-u-wna-climb mood. they have lots of small holds thr, good for trg finger strength.
climbed with hudah, did some trg tgt, with hazlee's precious trg insights.really helped alot. after climbing, they still had to keep the crashpads, keeping the area clean and tidy after use. that made me quite embarrassed knowing that, not only we dun have to clear any crashpads, we're actually making the gym into quite a dirty arena. people there are oso nice. they are willing to share their views and advices readily. oh yar! siti helped with with one of the routes today!=) *grins*
hope asri will bring me thr more often? hehe *hints hints*

been quite lazy lately. din do any tutorials for pro-e. i just felt so tired each day after lessons and cant wait to slp. wonder wad's getting on me, im so so so slpy lately.

haven been revising my sch work.cannot! muz start reading up and do revision! no more Cs!

Wan's gg for his field camp this weekend. hope he'll survive thru it.

reading this book called "Never Look Back". really gd book! shall do a write up on the book whn im done.

stuffs

2006-10-23T08:43:00.000-07:00

been doing thru some AMP practicals.
here are some pictures of stuffs we did.

hydaulic pipes- where we have to unscrew the nuts to chck for damages and torque them back correctly, ensuring no leaks. but my grp has the worst leak. air pressure was practically spilling all over the place. minus 10 marks for this!

wire locking-where we have to lock the bolts using wires to prevent them from loosening due to the tremendous vibration in the aircraft.

chip and dale-my fav cartoon characters. ive gt a pair too

week4

2006-10-20T21:45:00.000-07:00

week 4 has passed in a swift.
days were mainly occupied with pro e assignments, swimming, climbing.
ive finally finished with my accessed tutorials after 2 days of designing.
din swim as mch this week due to haze and pure laziness.
climbed and trained with asri.nice guy. helped train me. =)
body is aching nw, due to the factorials of pull ups done. but guess asri did xtra trg with supporting me. haha
helped gary done some shots with the sample climb tee for rockmaster.but ive yet to get those pic. will post them whn i receive.
emotionally weaken due to the always-never-enuff slp and stress frm the studies.
making me always hungry and grumpy.

u made my day

2006-10-10T23:53:00.000-07:00

God has put many surprises in our life.
Tests to make us stronger and tougher, friends who upsets us or make our day, problems for us to solve, opportunities for us to create and families who stay by us.

did nt have a really good day. quite upset bout some comment he made.but well, the day goes on.
lessons today were quite slack. power plant, aircraft electrical system and mech tutorial.during the lectures, most of us werent paying attention. we were doing our mech tutorial, so that we can leave early to complete our pro e.
went swimming again during the break. hmmm, yea, getting tanner. haha

had a great time with dessie. and night whisperer is nt nice! i almost fell aslp in the cinema. haha, dessie and i ended up talking to keep ourselves awake. 7 bucks wasted.

i love the baby in Rob-B-Hood. =)he's SO SO cute!

lucky day

2006-10-10T19:02:00.000-07:00

its a real lucky day man. ian is giving me 2 free tickets for "stay alive", but its a horror movie.haha.anw, its free,why nt.

having pro-engineer lesson nw. just woke up from my nap and missed most of the lecture part. bet im gna be so lost later.
im so slpy..yawn..

going swimming with karthi later then climbing at climbasia with sue. im really lazy to even exercise today. just feeling so lazy.. and my bag weighs a bomb cos of the apparrels.real weight trg man.
cannot! muz EXERCISE! or else later become fat.... hahaha*little motivation to get my ass moving*

im so so so hungry.....
hungry carene is a slping carene..

sleepy....

2006-10-06T09:35:00.000-07:00

ytd was a tiring day. maybe its the weather, maybe its my mood. i was so so sleepy. reached home around 3 plus and slpt all the way till 7 plus almost 8. woke up for dinner, watched tv and went back to slp again all the way till the nxt day.

my timetable for this sem is....... good/bad? depends on how u look at it. i start at 8 almost every day except tues but end early too, either at 12 or 3.
been swimming alot cos i end early on most of the days and badly need a tan on my fair fair skin, looks a little pale and screaming for vitamin D.
karthi's been a gd pal accompanying me for all the swimming sessions. haha, but i dun think he did it for the tan, cos he's got spf 500(jackie once said that, it was hilarious) protecting him from all the harmful ultraviolet rays.
made it a point to swim at least 10 laps each time.it usually ended cos we're both hungry though karthi always says im the one who demoralise him by suggesting lunch.

climbing was brought to a low low low season. as expected i haven been climbing for some time. so i dragged myself to climbasia on wed, after a swim in the afternoon, followed by a movie "Rob-B-hood" with karthi. climbed with winson and sue, winson had to leave earlier. climb was terrible! horrible! ive lost all my finger strength, dynamic power, locking strength. the few most crucial components of climbing. as usual, my mental was WEAK, i mean real weak.
like wad karthi observed, i have this natural instinct of falling each time i grab the tile, therefore sub-consciously, when ever i hold the tile, my hand would naturally open up, leading to the fall. easy to say, but how am i gonna overcome this bad habit? not easy...
around me,i see people improving speedily, like my juniors, some of them are getting really good. in terms of strength, i think they are alrdy above me. what happened to what some of us agreed on when we were preparing for our competition? train hard and get into open category in a yr's time. i guess, among us girls, jinli is the only one who has obtained this goal, really proud of her. whereas for me, i'm been declining in both my ability and attendance in climbing.
before wan went into army, i would still be climbing rather often as we would spend most of our time climbing. but nw, i lack the motivation, and desire to step into the rockgym. rockgym has since turned into some plc that i hardly enter except for helping the black guy to take his trunks and float.
like i told karthi, the atmosphere in rockgym has since changed from the first yr we enter and nw.
last yr, the atmosphere and passion of climbing filled the rock gym, with fascinating seniors showing routes, guiding us through our climbing training and looking at them attempting unbelievable routes.
nw, no offense to anyone but i think it has turn into a dusty playground where people show off their limited skills, mediocore strength, cockiness and undesirable attitude.
my passion to climbing is diminishing as i dun have the fire that i once had in me.
despite all these, im still on my way of discovering the core to climbing.
its nt just a sport. it means life to some hard core climbers. like some of them would say, they live for climbing, and they would die if they dun climb.

sch work is getting tougher as each sem progress.but im still surviving it. hope i could survive THRough the 1.5 yrs more.

all the best to all my friends who are taking their As.
=)

awakened

2006-09-29T10:52:00.000-07:00

i think i need to be more confident of myself and firm with my decisions.
Be sure of myself.
nt being shy to ask or approach others.
i guess, confidence is just the ingredient that i need to spice up my life. probably

school reopen

2006-09-24T09:45:00.000-07:00

wan's back in camp for another week.

had a fun day at andy's place today. played majong(for my first time) and wrap dumplings (my first time too). haha.good gathering.

climb for XXX

2006-09-22T08:27:00.001-07:00

went to school to climb today.
supposed to meet wan at 10am but i was still sleeping on my lovely bed at 950am. i was dead-tired. wasnt able to get a good sleep, was woken several times during the night for some wierd reasons. lucky he din scold me. haha. i bet he doesnt dare too. haha

met azhar on the train. he was reading through his notes.
chat with him quite a bit (from eunos to dover)
he was telling me bout his university life was. that lectures are all "CONCEPTS", everything built up on the fundamentals of the poly 3-yrs course. telling me, everything is alot tougher than poly courses. he's a smart guy who aced his 3-yr course, graduating with a COM- cert of merit which is a great recognition for students, whose result slips are filled with distinctions and As. wonder if i can get it too. hope i can be as hardworking as him man!

when i went in to the sports hall, i was stunned by the pig sty-ish view of our boulder gym. Crashpads werent arranged properly, extra ones are stacked all over the place, rock shoes are everywhere, tiles lying around, food left overs dirited the tables, lounge in a mess. The worst is the amount of dust that has accumulated throughout the months! i wonder how can people climb in such an environment man! spring cleaning session are organised but to no avail. gosh! need help to get the gym cleaned up man! by hook or by crook.

climb- ranged from LOUSY to MODERATE. my finger strength and locking power is lousy. footwork and techniques are rusty. i guess everything worsen when i take a 1 week plus break away from climbing. time to climb consistently.

school is starting soon. i resolve to study harder for the nxt sem! ya, jinli just said that we've always say tt we are gonna work extra hard in the beginning,always.. then end up being distracted. haha this is DAMN TRUE!
hope its nt the case for this sem...

speed trg

2006-07-07T04:17:00.000-07:00

franatic week

2006-07-05T08:43:00.000-07:00

life after school reopen was hectic. i mean REALLY REALLY hectic
had some tests like engineering design, differential eqn and fundamentals of flight( which i think is the hardest) one reason is because, i'm not prepared. though i've got some help from mr liew, but i still couldnt work the qn out.
got back some papers too. i failed my CNC milling. both the theory and practical. blame it on the dozing off in lectures and not catching up.

had our AGM today. i'm actually kinda sick of running ard, doing paper work, doing stuffs for the club. haiz. something wan said to me today really made me realise how these stuffs can help me. like, person who knows how to do paper work or admin stuffs can actually go further than those who follows or does practical stuffs. as admin stuffs are included in ALL occupations. thus, it gives me an advantage to others. ok! so i'll just try my very best to make work a joyful thing to do.

had our first speed training today. ran round sp-as usual, i stopped for quite a few times, sprint up and down 3 sets at the slope at business block, went to stadium did sprints, strides, hops, jumps, crunches, pushups, pull ups, squats, shoulder weights. i'm half dead now. SOS!!

updates.

2006-06-09T09:41:00.000-07:00

the previous entry was some pictures that i took during our day out today.
had lots of delicious food. thanks to andy's mum.
been sometime since i saw them.

been doing some climbing, traing sessions for freshies, hwk, elearning, slacking, eating, playing, chatting, working, sleeping, bathing, shopping and ...........

saw beatrix notebook. it was like super organised and her handwriting is nice nice.. i like looking at people's handwriting. as i think it tells a person. dunno. just some instinctive tots. she too loves note books. haha. anyone with nice note books and if u dun want, can give them to me man!!! i'll love to keep it for u!

met up with ginger. she's still as chatty and hyper as ever. like being ard her. =)

pumpfest

2006-05-19T09:06:00.000-07:00

pumpfest is only a week away! am really excited bout it. at least in this comp, i feel much better than i had in boulderactive which ended up in a total disappointment for me.
hope to get out of intermediate during this comp. its my goal!

yes! i'm finally able to get my phone man! w810i! i'm coming! hehe. gonna be buying with jinli while she gets her w800i! hehe. yea joining in the sony ericsson family!haha

i'm eyeing on this rockshoe-madrock hottie, just for hotties? hehe. i think its really comfortable inside with all the cushioning and stuffs. its up is $163.90. but zaki could help get it ard $80 if we buy in bulk.just pray hard that the freshies all need new shoes!!hehe. but will still be looking ard for more attractive shoes.wad i'm afraid is that the cushioning might just be flatten after some time.

went down to cityhall to get my contacts and look at the shoes. i wanna go shopping man! missed the days when i went out with phuiyuen and really shop till we drop! haha. haven got that feeling for a bloody long time man. maybe gotta try it again? during holidays?

haven been in good mood lately. little things pissed me off or shld i say irritates me. so if i've been rude or annoying to anyone, pardon me. been real stressed with projects and projects and projects man! i'm yet to get started with my ACC report and the deadline is in 2 weeks. i'm so dead. i hate it when people talk to me as if i owed them( simply translated from chinese)我最讨厌被别人当出气桶，骂得狗血淋头。我认为既然我已紧了力去做某件事，那些什么都没做到的人根本就没有资格来教训我。i think jinli would agree to this too man.sometimes,,they are just too much.
i truly hope the WHOLE committee could work together man. really praying hard for that.

time to focus on my aims and targets to be achieved during this sem!

tots

2006-05-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

okies, have been blogging much bout wad's going on in my life and such, this time, i shall blog on myself

looking thru my old testis, and notice one common term in most of them.
its the word BLUR...
this blurness has been accompanying me since young i guess.
maybe an example like today, i was buying mac for my friends. i left the place with only the drinks and the burgers, i totally forgot bout the fries. in the end, i had to go back to clementi to get the fries. a wasted trip. it could have been saved if i wasnt so blur.

doing the painting work in our rock gym these days.
it was tiring.. just hope everything turns out well!
thanks to the peeps who were thr to help! Its appreciated!

communication with people is tough.
saw this line on the bus that says "u cant shake someone's hands with a clench fist"
sometimes, i feel that i'm toking too much, maybe being a quieter carene would help.. sometimes, its just good to keep my mouth shut la!
time to shut up carene!jsut do wadeva u feel like doing as long as u know wad u want!

back from genting

2006-04-11T06:56:00.000-07:00

back from genting trip.

was quite a relaxing and fun trip.
ate,slpt,shopped. marvellous.
it also includes chatting with my mum,aunt and sis. get to know wad they are really thinking and also telling them bout my tots and stuffs.
chatted bout guys, and how to know whether the guy is a great one. hahaha. really interesting mindset they have.

been climbing a lot and neglected my family. this trip also serves as a bonding session for us.

my sis and i shared a deluxe room, with 2 queen sized bed for each of us. damn cool and comfortable. we slpt till bout 3 before waking up for our brunch..haha

went over to take a look at the rock wall again. memories of the previous trip arose. trip where the few of us went, climbed thr, played thr. it was a great trip!

fun trip indeed.

emo..

2006-04-01T07:03:00.000-08:00

urge of tears flowing..

though i would play ard, joke ard, it doesnt mean that i am not affected by wad happened.

many emotional attacks happened lately.

boulderactive is probably the striker to all the pain and fiery..
french sch and rock on difficulty comps have left a scar in me. making me hesistant to join difficulty comps. in both comps, i slipped for no reason..
i've overestimated myself..
had a disappointing performace during intermediate finals. though pp ard consoled and said"its ok, u've just climbed for less than a yr and u're alrdy in finals!" but to me, i feel i could do better than that. and thats why i feel very down.
but i will not be beaten..

parents of mine arent supportive of my climbing all along but i defied them.
i continued to climb.. leaving home early, and reaching home late, sometimes even later than my curfew. tt's when i got all my scolding..
but now, my mum dun seem to care. i think it hurts more than anything.
wad she said is true. i've treated my house too much like a hotel. where i return for my rest.
i know i'm wrong and am trying to change..

my results suck like shit.
gonna study harder for next sem
siaec scholarship has yet to reply. making me very worried

sorry for leaving mm so suddenly, leaving things to my partner just like tt. am selfish.

have nv weeped so much in my life..not only my eyes teared, my heart too..
isnt as strong as i tot i could be..
am lonely and confused. lost my sense of direction..
sometimes, i just hope thr's someone special thr just for me. but in reality, its not gonna happen.. and i can only stay strong..

2006-03-30T03:52:00.000-08:00

passion ratemeter

2005-12-23T08:36:00.000-08:00

The Passion Predictor
Carene, you're a Synchronized Swimmer!

What could be more comforting than moving in lockstep with your partner? Living in a permanent state of "we" warms the cockles of the heart. In the words of Joe Cocker's immortal ballad, "Love lifts you up where you belong." It makes you feel alive and brings joy to your lover, too.

When you and your honey are on cloud nine, life couldn't be sweeter. The rewards of caring so much pay off again and again.

But, there is a rub here: Do you get little anxious when your sweetie is out of your sight? If you don't get a call when you're supposed to, do you worry that perhaps something's wrong?

If you're feeling unappreciated or taken for granted, your insecurities can make you a little needy. Sure, you've got a lot of love to give. But is it possible that you have a tendency to lose yourself in relationships? The best pairings always happen when two whole people come together as equals. So take care of yourself first before you worry about your partner.

rib bone

2005-10-15T00:33:00.000-07:00

A girl in love asked her boyfriend.
Girl: Tell me. Who do you love most in this world?
Boy: You, of course!
Girl: In your heart, what am I to you?
Boy: The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and said, "You are my rib. It was said that God saw that Adam was lonely, during his sleep, God took one of Adam's rib and created Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib, only when you find the woman of your life, you'll no longer feel the lingering ache in your heart."
After their wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy life for a while.
However, the youthful couple began to drift apart due to the busy schedule of life and the never-ending worries of daily problems, their life became mundane.
All the challenges posed by the harsh realities of life began to gnaw away their dreams and love for each other. The couple began to have more quarrels and each quarrel became more heated.
One day, after the quarrel, the girl ran out of the house. At the opposite side of the road, she shouted, "You don't love me!"
The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse, retorted, "Maybe, it was a mistake for us to be together! You were never my missing rib!"
Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood there for a long while. He regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water, you can never take it back. With tears, she went home to pack her things and was determined in breaking-up.
Before she left the house, "If I'm really not your missing rib, please let me go." She continued, "It is less painful this way. Let us go on our separate ways and search for our own partners."
Five years went by...
He never remarried but he had tried to find out about her life indirectly. She had left the country and back. She had married a foreigner and divorced. He felt anguished that she never waited for him.
In the dark and lonely night, he lit his cigarette and felt the lingering ache in his heart. He couldn't bring himself to admit that he was missing her.
One day, they finally met. At the airport, a place where there were many reunions and good byes. He was going away on a business trip. She was standing there alone, with just the security door separating them. She smiled at him gently.
Boy: How are you?
Girl: I'm fine. How about you? Have you found your missing rib?
Boy: No.
Girl: I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.
Boy: I'll be back in 2 weeks time. Give me a call when you are back. You know my number. Nothing has changed.
With a smile, she turned around and waved good bye.
Good bye...
One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York, in the event that shocked the world.
Midnight, once again, he lit his cigarette. And like before, he felt the lingering ache in his heart. He finally knew. She was the missing rib that he had carelessly broken.

soo... have u found ur rib bone?

end of week

2005-08-20T01:21:00.000-07:00

another week has past....

had rockclimbg conditioning on tue. went running round sp and another round in the stadium. tt almost killed me. i dunno why, i just hate hate hate running lah..after tt did almost like 6 sets of circuits. wah, it was tiring man.. went home for a bath and head back str to sp again for stayover, to pack the door girfts for MM day(wed). had a night walk round sp. it was errie man. held on to horny papa.. tt stupid papa kept telling me "stories" and scaring me. peeps, dun try tt during this mth man..
din slp the whole night except for like 30mins to 1 hr of nap. we had a mass production man!

wed: MM day! was kept busy almost the whole day till night. and now, ITS FINALLY OVER! yeah!
was so so tired tt when i reached home, i fell aslp str away.. w/o studyg for my cprog test the next day.

i practically slpt thru the lectures on thurs. felt guilty for nt payg attention. but i just couldnt help it. my eyes were so heavy. after sch, i has trg again. wah. i climbed like a corpse man! shit man.. din complete much routes man! argh. nv climb when u're mentality tired. ITs even worst when u're physically tired!

had our milling test today. its quite ok, except tt thr's some qns which i'm unsure of. went to air force sch at paya lebar air base. IT was so so cool man!
saw some planes(but nt too sure of their names).. was intro to the duties of senior technicians. ITs quite cool, esp u get to make up the air plane and stuffs.. hmmm.. and the benefits are quite attractive too. thinkg whether to sign on or nt... but i still have to wait for my 18th birthday... to be a singaporean! hahaha. getting allowance every 3 mths, with 1200 bonus for a min of C grade for each semester.. blah blah blah.. its just darn attractive lah.

had fun going for dinner or shud i say supper at holland V with the climbers.. crapped thru the meal.. we're a whole bunch of lamers la.haha.everyone were sharing their cold jokes with one another... wow.. same frequency man...

gosh, i still got so many things to do.. muz quickly finish up or else i'll be dead next week.

the opening of sports complex on the 24th aug would be a fun event man. heard tt thr's items like the most pull ups tt each can do, the longest time u can hang. hmmm... and many more..
climbaprix is oso coming. its gonna be a sort of "real mini com "for us freshies.. i think its gonna be lotsa fun! shall enjoy man!!!!!

study load

2005-08-13T23:09:00.000-07:00

just finished with our term test and now the tests are coming again.
4 papers to be precise..etech lab, workshop prac, cprog prac.
i've learnt my lesson of not studyg hard enuff. but some of these i really cant grasp the concept man. why cant we just have lessons w/o tests??? argh

workloads starts increasing, lectures gettting tough(at least it is for my case)..
i'm still lagging behind in some of the modules which is baddddd.... i think i shld really put much more effort in my studies man.In poly, u really have to count on urself.as in, thr isnt any tuitions that u can go to or stuffs like tt. all u can do is only going to lecturers again and again to clarify stuffs or asking pp ard u. i'm quite thankful tt peeps ard me are always so willing to help me clear my doubts and stuff. i think this really helps me in being independent in my studies.

study hard girl!

only LOVE can make memory last
only LOVE can make a moment last
you were there and all the world was young and all its songs unsung
and i remember you then when love was all
all you were living for
and how you gave that love to me

3 little words "i love you" are the words that topple empires,
shaped destinies, make men and women risj their lives
and unite millions of couples in holy matrimony every year.

so love with the whole of your heart!
