today's christmas eve n i spent my days in da early morning to go to my cousin's sch to help him buy books.. after that went for movie -- LOTR 3.. was nice! (as usual). but was kinda draggy @ d end.. dint really understand some parts, need herman to explain. ha. cmi lah.. aywy was supposed to watch movie with him n joy on tuesday but i cancelled cos i was stil sick den he just told me that its his birthday yest! felt bad man.. but celebrated for him abit.. his 21st birthday.. jz celebrated at home.. alone! hopefully he did enjoyed today lah. we bought a small cake as a make up..
still feeling kinda nauseous.. argh.. mb i shldnt have ate the chocolate cake we bought for herman! argh.. hate da feeling. gonna stay home tis christmas! my hse really need some packing! my things are piling.. plus stuff from laos.. its also adding on.. cant take it anymore man. how i wish i have a maid at the moment to help me clear out all my stuff.. its kinda driving me crazy, yet i'm kinda lazy to clear it also! but no matter wad, guess i'll still hafta clear it tomorrow. otherwise i dunno when will be the nxt time i'll be clearing.. my mum's gonna kill me for sure man.
developed my pics i've took from laos..! cost me a bomb man.. can u believe it? i spent like $108 jz for developing of photos? and best part was that my dad told me the pics looks normal like its from any other countries?! duhz.. wad do u expect?! guess it was really a wrong idea to bring a analog cam! but developing of digi cam's pic is expensive also lah. yea.. i'm always complaining as usual.. been doing lotsa report and was reading my previous post in this blog.. actually from tis trip, i've getta learnt alot. like mr chai's actually's kinda fun.. super funny guy. but when he comes to work, of cos.. a perfectionist. he and miss lee protrait a fatherly and motherly figure to us. one's always nagging.. the other would jz listen to us. but both of them are really nice.. after all those reports and reflections i've done, i've really learnt that we shldnt take tings for granted like computer and all.. i shld learn to be more eager when coming to study and not slack.. hopefully i've also learnt to be slightly independent.. cooking over in laos was kinda disastrous.. though it was only 1 time. guess should also learnt to be more patient.. singaporeans are so stress up that every1s so gan chiong.. hmmz.. wad more have i learnt.. *brainstorm* hmmz.. mb from ai.. he's always falling down den climb up again.. w/o crying. so i guess its to be strong and no matter wad setback, jz learn to climb up again. never be afraid of falling cos its part and parcel of life. showed my mum a pic of me n him. nizam caught a scene whr he's smiling very happily.. mum smiled when she saw that pic! she tot he was cute too! haha..
argh.. came back (from laos n) totally broke.. hopefully can pay all my "debts" asap man..! well.. i hope god would just let all those who are sick to recover soon! as pp like me and many others are really sick @such a time.. dunno y...! n i jz hate days like these! and let every1 be happy..! merry christmas guys!
how many can actually really heed the advice of "do not take things for granted?" but no matter wad, i jz hope tt i myself would be able to learn such a lesson after all tis moments that i've went thru

i'm finally back!!! from laos!~ actually i'm having of a mixed feelings rite now.. part of me is happy to be back, part of me missed laos.. the friends i've made thr n the environment over there. of cos, the place over thr is kinda dusty, transportation is alil inconvient but still the pple over there is superb heartwarming. forgotten to mention that they all came to gave us roses when we arrived.. n when we leaved. there was once a gal whom all of us liked (she's the same age as my sis!).. even made dessert for us to try becos i told her tt i wanna try it.. they're all very eager to learn new stuff.. unlike we.. slackers..
ha, we had steak over in laos for our last dinner by ourselves on thursday nite.. we had steak ard $4+. was really nice man! its a high class restuarant pub.. i tink i kinda grew fat over in laos as most of us were always eating n eating.. not much entertainment ya know.. =P many pple over in laos tot i'm from china! so sad man.. ha, was asking them how come i look like i'm from china, most of them was sayin it was due to my hair n dressing.. ha..
we had like 3-4 baci ceremony whereby they get a priest to pray n give us blessing then the pple who attend the ceremony would take the strings thr to tie n give blessings to each other.. for maximum benefits of the blessings pple give, we hafta wear it for 3 days.
i missed some of my frenz over thr.. made a fren call zhiqiang over thr but only emailed him once.. we knew him when we visited a Lao tu public sch where they students over there can speak chinese. this public sch has children from pri 1 to sec 3.. their educational system is pri 1-5 den sec 1-3. was not able to meet him over in laos.. felt sad cos he's a very nice good student, he sang n performed dancing for us when we asked him to do so. n he emailed us.. but as i dint go to the internet cafe, i couldnt see it.. yest was his birthday.. well hope he'll getta c our mail.. my fren told me tt on friday there was a guy who was looking for us.. wonder was it him.. as the person couldnt contact me so i dunno who's tt.. argh.. sad sia..
anyway, vangvieng is a really nice place.. we went thr to R & R.. saw sunrise.. it was really beautiful with the mountains soOO near to us.. over thr is even colder to vientiane.. its like a mini orchard road. lotsa caucasians over there as most of them go thr for trekking, kayaking n camping. i wil definitely wanna go back laos.. soon! most prob nxt yr i guess.. i miss Ai.. dint get back to d student union after the cultural night over thr.. couldnt buy something for him. hopefully i getta c him soon man..!
