HI
I really cannot imagine myself doing this..
But I think I'll be reviving my blog.
I think it'd be nice if you could read your everyday happenings during your youngest and wildest days when you're old and wrinkly.
Anyways, I can barely write now, I'm like totally straining my poor brain just to think up the words to write
It's been a couple of weeks since o levels are over
YESSSS I thought the day would never come
It was truly the most stressful period of my life man, I don't recall having been this stressed over PSLE haha that was like some peanut butter slacktime for me (what on earth (=)
Anyways, I've been praying diligently (in my opinion) for my o levels ever since the start of 2009
I think I wore myself out towards the start of o levels during study leave such that I was so drained I could study no more...
Some genius told me a friend was only sleeping 2 hours a night, that was how hard people crammed and the extent to which ridiculously hardworking people can scare the toot out of me.
Like a dumb sheep, I followed......... and failed.
My faith was shaken la...and I was totally shook everybody out of my life..
But I learnt to REALLY rely on God for He never fails, YAY daddy God! (=
Paper after paper passed
Just some highlights that I can remember:
Cried after english
Rejoiced over math
Swore like mad at geography
Super disappointed at physics
Relieved after bio, then went to ion to shop haha
Anyway, in summary, o levels was a period of extreme highs and lows for me.
Oh haha and I totally screwed my second chance at chinese..I forgot to bring my jacket and I was having spasmodic contractions. I wanted to drop out so badly haha..
Let's move on,
Post o levels marked the end of my secondary school life.
I relaxed and started meeting up with all my pals and gals, even my brother's haha
Most of my friends then started leaving for holidays or found jobs.
I wanted one too, but couldn't bring myself to actually do the admin
I went to malaysia, met up with some relatives, hung out and had fun.
I shall always remember the day I watched twilight and new moon for the first time, that was in malaysia.
When the twilight craze started like last year, I promised myself to never ever fall into the trap and be another one of those fangirlies.
But in malaysia, I proudly broke it.
I watched twilight like twice and new moon at the kl gv.
hahahah
but I'm like so over it now...
Some mental tidbits I made:
-Girls obsessed over Rob Pattison or however his name is spelled should seriously get their eyes checked, and then their brains checked, and then their eyes checked again haha
Firstly, he is so pale he looks sick
Secondly, he looks like he doesn't even own a shaver
Thirdly, he is so not hot or cute or whatever
And fourth, everybody with a little sense knows Johnny Depp is hotter and cuter and whatever.
haha ok,
this brings me to my new obsession over Johnny Depp
OhMyToot is he the sexiest man alive!
Now that man is talent and a balloon of charisma hahaa
People! You should watch Public Enemies! You'll not be disappointed I tell you.Michael Mann is a great director and Johnny Depp an awesome actor.
I would post a picture of him right here, but I'm not sharing him, haha no la just kidding. Search him up if you want a piece of real hotness and manliness haha
Ok, now coming back to the twilight saga,
I used to like Taylor Lautner when he was young and cute in shark boy and lava girl and cheaper by the dozen 2, but now, he just looks plain odd to me. He is pretty stout, like too buff and not enough height haha.
As for Kristen Stewart, she's got character but a lil of a flirt to me..
Ok, away from all this,
on my second trip to malaysia, I met a couple of my St Andrew's classmates of 2010.
The pre-departure briefing was interesting and helpful, I hope that I'll greatly enjoy my time in Scotland.
I'll be getting a weekly allowance of 50 pounds every week.
I hope it'd be enough for me to train down to london once in a while to catch some broadway musicals, and do other stuff of my liking.
I can't really remember what I wanted to post but this is taking up too much time.
I'm gonna go now!
See ya you pretty peeps! (=
Friday, July 31, 2009
It's been a while..a long long while.
My life in a nutshell:
-Went to Hillsong conference @ The Zone with YiEn+few other peeps. Awesome as predicted, lost a few pounds in the process haha.
-Swam 100 laps in the pool last Friday. Almost died btw..did all my stamina just evaporate?
-Had housewarming shortly after movin' into new house-watched Honey with Jac and other peeps in the dark, listened to Switchfoot, stalked on facebook, debated with cousin...all together (: niceness! come jac one day after 'O's for a sleepover baby!whoots!!
-Decided to book a room with felicia, smallie and christine at Orchard Hotel after prom..come on it's not indulging, you can't really blame us for not wanting to come out of Orhard Hotel in the dead of the night to clash with drunkards falling out of the many Orchard pubs..It's all in the name of wisdom and good intentions..nothing more (: Not forgetting to mention those peeps are eyeing for the Presidential suite. Goodness diamond's blocking the poor girls' eyes haha just kidding! (:
-Ok hear ye! I am soooooooooooo sooooooooooooo relieved ok. Come to think of it, saying I'm relieved is such an understatement. The whole stream of Physics, Bio, and Chem 'O' level SPAs are finally overrrrr. Seriously, I had nervous breakdown for the last 3 weeks since the SPAs stretched for a total of 3 weeks..Goodness thank God I came out sane. Haha! The questions I spotted for physics and biology came out. Not bad at all.
-Sort of wasted my time or if you wish, slacked during my hiatus on blogger..I'm so complacent man, yet so filled with guilt, yet again so sluggish ): ): ): This is not good...
-Ok today we performed our skit during english..Centaine, Wen Yih and I teamed up with people from the other side of the class, but overall, it was a smashing success..that is if our forgetting of lines were excluded. Haha it was fun..Centaine wore this red seductive wig and acted as the girlfriend...a 180degrees turn of image from "emo"..I was the nurse who used Ribena in a Ziploc as my bloodbag and this straw shaped as a glasses that can be literally worn as life supporting tubes. So it's like when Centaine sucks on the straw, Ribena would go around both her eyes before ending up in her mouth haha. But sadly, my teacher did not understand what we were doing can you believe it! haha after the skit she asked me, "Joy, why did you feed Centaine with Ribena?" Haha! To cut the long story short, the whole cast died except for me, the passerby and the narrator..
-During recess today, our entire table was talking about the ghost tour at Night Safari, like how the different failed ghosts would suddenly crawl up their shoulders and scare the toot out of them..Everybody was like so absorbed in their laughter, including muaself. Then when suddenly, Wen Yih said that once, her father scolded a ghost for scaring him, I spat out the H20 I was drinking at her because I thought it was funny (isn't it?). Ok I admit, I seriously underestimated her lung capacity..for she screamed like there was no tomorrow. This is no exaggeration. The whole canteen suddenly went eerily quiet and every single body had their eyes fixed on us, including the teachers. I tell you even the Fitness club people who were at the field could hear her scream haha. So we dashed all the way to the basin away from all eyes haha but afterwards Centaine blew up cos she discovered some spit had landed in her bowl of noodles that were worth $2.70(straight-up daylight robbery).
-During assembly, they showed us the footage of Speech Day. when I say footage, I mean the Principal's speech and some random ceremony that one of the prizewinners were not even present for..So naturally, like what any other human being would do, I slept. When I awoke, Pallavi told me that while I was sleeping, Mr Anthony had walked up to me, but when she tried to wake me up, he told her to let me sleep. Whoaa, he's definitely a changed man. Haha I bet he must have been in good spirits after receiving some pretigious award..
-After school, went to King Albert Park with Centaine and Nicole to takeaway Macdonald's before proceeding to tuition. Pek then fetched us to this condo where we had tuition in the leisure room. This is a temporary arrangeement as he just broke free from Dr Chan's Raffles Trust to start his own thing after having been apparently mistreated by Dr Chan by not letting his staff have lunch..Haha anyway, we found out that the Christine was actually staying in the condo we had tuition in so we gave her a surprise visit haha..though she was sleeping at that time..
-Ok, I seriously have to go now.
-This has been quite a post...
-cya!

'ello fello peeps!
Great day isn't it? made greater because of my birthday.
Just some updates about what's been up in my life lately.
So..... mid-years are over. Don't really feel anything about it though, since the battle is not even half won yet haha. I sound like an emo kid. But screwed most of my papers which I seriously emo-ed over. Let's see, shall we? I screwed chem, emath, amath, geog, and PHYSICS!!!! my goodness dr chan is gonna skin me alive like what the. can you believe who would actually do both the EITHER and OR questions, there's nothing wrong with that, but i did half of both the EITHER and OR questions.
On a brighter note, after mid-years, I went out with bestj! thanks jac, it was really nice of you to have accompanied me around vivo. like i think we walked vivo up and down at least 4 times. we even went to the carpark thrice can you believe it haha! but it was fun man! having not gone out for a longggg time. goodness we're fit people man al that training in badminton really paid off haha. i bet i had shed at least a few kg. naise(: ok. i have some orientation issues so allow me to go all the way back to the start. We first went to book tickets for 17again. (btw jac we were so close dude, today the show stopped screening!) ok back to earth. it was good(: a 9.0 i say. definitely not a brainless chick-flick! Finally zac efron is stepping out into big-boy town where he does not have to constantly break out into song and dance. and i must say i totally saw him from a different angle after he emerged looking smokin' in his aviators and leather jacket haha! but don't worry jac, i leave him all to you to compete against vanessa hudgens haha! then we went to pageone, hung around for a while, then went to source for party stuff for my bird-day(:
Bought alot of stuff for my very lucky guests. ok jac i admit defeat haha, we didn't finish all the sweet haha. sweets from candy empire, chips and cheese dips from giant, and more! Then, we went to make some handphone stuff before realising my hp does not have the lil hole thingthang to hand the chain on! haha. ok after that, we went to party city to buy for more stuff like an elvis poster, a pinata...Then brought jac along to see my new house(: haha!
Ok, then today was the big day. the birthday party! (: awesome it was. a blast it was. we came home. ate like a glutton, swam like a fish, rocked like a guitar hero, played wii sports like a pro-athlete(so not), played gun-games like a terrorist, and listened to old-school music like a music-junkie, just to sum it all up. I put a lot of effort into the decorations man haha you should have seen. elvis like hung on the ceiling next to my fantastic name, christmas deco was modified to line my tv, and lame unknown cute creatures like sprung from my staircase even though they sort of like sank and drooped just after the party started haha. We played with mini-boats and floats in the pool. pics are super funny. impromptu games were ultra fun. which was quite something after planned games failed because of everyone's excitement and rowdyness. i tell you i will never become game master again in years. so stressful man i'd rather train lions in the circus or something lol haha just kidding. it was FUNFUNFUN!! we shot with waterguns bought from toys'r'us the day before, played with the beach-ball i also bought from toys'r'us the day before and all. centaine, wen yih and i were supposed to jump into the pool at the same time. in the end it was only centaine and i who jumped haha. so i came up again and pushed wen yih into the water or she would just stand there like... forever...and then i found she couldn't swim in deep areas. i found that out the hard way. she was like grabbing my arms and squeezing em like mad ohmygoodness. hm so it was pretty fun, we tried to get a maximum amount of people into a single boat and then after that, we splitted into 2 groups. Melody and I went around as water terrorists, lying on a float on our tummies and going around shooting at people with our waterguns haha. i tell you she was so excited that she spoiled my watergun la! haha. after that, melody n i tried to capsize the other boat. then had like random swimming competition and free-style-create-your-own-stroke competition where we modified all the different swimming styles in the name of fun. centaine did the bunny-hop-swimmy or something where she paddled around the pool like a total silly drowning puppy. ai did the 360degrees backstroke which is quite self-explanatory and i did the flower power which i am much too embarassed to talk about haha.
The showering part was sooo disorganised though sorry about that people. so people were like waiting in the house dripping wet and all cold for a chance to take a shower haha. after everyone had like taken their baths, we gathered and played wii. guitar hero, wii sports and some crossbow/ shooting game which got some people so excited for i don't know what reason. probably cos they did not want to get killed by the boss? haha pallavi, centaine, wen yih and i went up to my bro's and my rooms to take shower. centaine took oh-so-long. like 2 people's showering time. i had to bathe in my bro's room. centaine and wen yih specially wore a dress for my birthday can you believe it? awww. pallavi bathed in my bro's room after me cos i bet she was sick of waiting for centaine lol. halfway the shampoo ran out so can u believe her only managing to bathe half the length of her super duper long hair? haha! after that centaine n wen yih told me to stay back in my room for a while to open their presents lol. Super sweeet like jac's haha! (Thanks jac for the awesome necklace and scrapbook! hehe) c&wy applied olive oil body mist? got it all over my floor so it's like kinda oily now. after that, went down again, ate, drink, played more GHIII, before hitting the pinata. i always knew centaine was violent but not that violent so as to tear the poor pinata with her own bare hands and nails after failing to hit it open with a spatula(haha i had no rod). that's not all, after hitting it open, she instantly got on her knees and picked up all the sweets that she could pick up and put them in her lil dress pocket haha! the nerve of some people.lol then my mum brought down the cake, sang birthday songs and ate the lana cake. then after cake-eating, we played centaine@wenyih's game. called truth-truth-lie (self-explanatory) listened to deathcabforcutie in the dark air-conditioned basement while it was pouring outside. Thank God for holding back the rain until everyone has come up from the waters like I prayed He would do despite the forecast saying that there would be thunderstorms) haha! It was fun and funny. After that, people started to leave because it was already 6+. After that, I looked through the pics which I would upload tomorrow, and opened some of the gifts. ohmygosh i forgot to say. annabella, nerissa, ruiling and meemee got me this gift which was like a prank meant for APRIL FOOLS instead of joy's birthday. haha but i love it. it was one of those kind of gifts where you have to open a candy jar without knowing you'll get electrocuted. Best of all, it was help by a cute innocent and furry fat teddy bear, thus the reason why i least expected any prank to come out of it.
Then at 8+, i went for lifegroup. we were left roomless so we sat on the kitchen floor like slumdogs haha. then they planned this mini birthday surprise. there's only so much you can do on the kitchen floor.
overall, i'm 16!!! which doesn't feel any different from being 15 actually. haha besides the fact that i can watch NC16 movies.wheee!!!! haha anyways, its late already and this has been quite a post.
Lastly, before I hit the haysack as a 16 year old and waking up later as a 16 year old again, I would like to thank God, pappi, mammi, auntynana for financial support and love, bestjaclynn for the awesome friendship which has lasted 3 years and even more to come and for your great company while shopping and hanging out and for your cool advice and supermarket tips haha! (I bet I helped you lose weight haha!), centaine, wen yih and jaani for the wonderful friendship, support and al that you guys have done, pallavi, samantha, joanne, melody, nicole, ai, munyee, christine, nerissa, ruiling, meemee, and annabella for coming to my party, our friendship and the cool gifts haha!(:
Alright, i need to catch some sleep now, bye!

Ok, peeps open up your eyes and get ready for the telling of a really really truly superb real awesome God and what He has done for me(:
Here it goes:
At the start of year 2009, good ol' Joy's father decided to send her abroad to study because he felt it would do her good, especially because she was a not-so-little girl with no goals in mind. So, he started to apply her to various types of schools all across the uk. seriously. Some came back with disappointing results, saying all their places have been filled since two years back (like what? SUPER far-sighted man those brits) whereas others came back saying they would offer me seats. However, the school term only starts in september 2009 which turned not so ideal too. And then, there are still others whose response seemed bleak with an overfilling cohord with a great fabulous waiting list. This caused a very disheartened Joy and Daddy to worry greatly. However, I forgot to mention, Joy got accepted into this school which was not very good with a homestay programme which Mumsy opposed to very much.
With this, Daddy started to apply to even more schools. One fine day, when he went out with Mummy to meet one of the representative ladies, he found out about this school called St Andrews University in Scotland, UK which offers a fine medical programme. He knew I was interested in pursueing medicine and so he enquired more about this programme. He found out that it is like college, however, it is specially moulded for those interested in becoming doctors of tomorrow. This particular programme is called the International Foundation For Medicine. He told me about this when he fetched me from tuition one day and told me that the representative lady was a nice lady who got on well with them.
We applied and so I got all my stuff ready, which included a personal statement, portfolio, and some predicted grades. After several weeks, my application got through, thank God! Apparently, the peeps said that Mrs Magee, the director of the English Department was rather pleased with me and told me that she was due to come down the next week for her norm-interviews with potential students.
I was really excited. In fact, my entire family was. We prepared for my interview together during dinners and family time. My uncle all the way in Malaysia was also involved I tell you haha. We talked over the phone almost daily and he gave me advice and all. Finally, the day of the interview arrived. The setting was almost similar as Jac's and we found out that Mrs Magee had spent the afternoon interviewing over 20 students wanting to enter the different courses at different levels. It was kind of cool, the tension and everything(: I think I must be mad lol. Anyways, my mother was like walking about the center like some country pumpkin, it's like she hasn't seen shelves after shelves of books before for she was picking and shrieking at every little book she sees lol. I was already a nervous wreck and she was doing that to me can you believe it? But surprisingly, the peace of God like suddenly engulfed me and I went in to talk to Mrs Magee. She looked really stressed and unkempt and at that time, was drinking some kopi-o from some nearby coffee shop. I was shocked. But still, I talked to her for 45 min. It went well. Just like the personal statement. See how God is so good? lol thanks! Following after, I went for dinner, relieved and at peace at this kopitiam haha.
Oh and on one of the days when we were having dinner and discussing about the interview, we suddenly heard a loud crash in my living room, we rushed over to see what had happened. We were shocked to see shatters of our glass sculpture of an eagle scattered all over the floor, obviously broken. This glass eagle was from Murano, Italy and it was my father's baby. Uncle Rusty, a prophet who would stay in our house most of the time while he is in Singapore prophesized on it before. He said that the eagle (that broke) symbolised my parents' care and protection over the two eaglets (bro n i) and that that incident symbolised that it was time for my parents to let go. Oh my gosh that was so shakening man haha. Plus one of the nights, my dad actually suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, as he felt that the Holy Spirit nudge him, telling him that I had gotten into St Andrews.
Following that incident, we prayed a lot and finally, my mum set a date with that lady representative at cova last friday which was that adam khoo booster session day. She disclosed that I was accepted into St Andrews! Oh my gosh I was so happy that I forgot how to laugh lol. She then told me more details that the package would actually arrive on Monday, which was today. So at 5, my mum went to the centre to collect the package. She spoke to another male representative and he told her that my offer was unconditional. It was also the first time in history of the centre that a candidate did not have to sit for an entrance examination in order to enter the medical school. Oh my gosh I was and still am happy. I believe that it is only through God's grace that this can happen.
What I just penned down is so different from what it feels like in real life. But I just want to thank first and foremost, my awesome God, and then Daddy, Mummy, Caleb, Jac, and all my friends, including Xian, Yen, Grace, Centaine, Wen Yih, Jaani, Ms Ho, Ms Siti, Unc Pek, Dr Tham and others whom I did not mention.
Ok this is an informal post on the thanking part, shall continue a nice long and maybe cheesy one for you guys another fine day. The point of this post is mainly just to thank God for His great mercy and goodness for I know none of this would actually happen if not for Him.
This might sound like an ultra Holy post but this is all true and real... to me.
Hope you guys enjoyed the long post.
In conclusion, just want to say...
All glory be to God!

Haha! Today was sports day(: My last ever one ):
Ok, so like I said in the other post, I ran the 200m event.
I tell you before that I was like super scared la because I found out who my competitors were. ohmygoodness. no wonder that event was so unpopular la haha. So, yesterday I asked my mother to buy me some red bull. She said no. Being idon'tknowhowtosay, I asked Centaine to buy me some. So then she went to ask her father lol. Don't know how it can lead to her father but it doesn't really matter. So today, before my race I drank the whole entire can of red bull, plus some non-carbonated ones from vanessa. When I went on the track I was literally vibrating lol. 1)Because I was so super scared. 2)Because the red bull was acting up. Plus, the four false alarms so didn't help, thank you very much. Oh my gosh, I tell you at first my heart almost died la haha.
Ok, and I tell you we had to cheer so much before the event that I could almost bet all the energy was used up on that before I even set foot on the track haha.
Omg I tell you super funny la because Nerissa wanted to find her friend in cooke, I attempted to look for a certain someone called Centaine amidst the blue crowd lol. Then I saw Jaani, asked her where C was. She pointed to an open umbrella. The person was so smart, placed the umbrella in such a position such that her entire face+body is covered from the sun, but so is her view from the entire world. I went through awkward positions and grumpy people to get to her. When I got there, I pulled her shoe laces and faster ran down. Lol when she lifted the umbrella, I realised it wasn't Centaine! Lol it was Alicia. Lol then Jaani like witnessed the whole thing and was laughing like a hyena. What the! Mean Matey.
Oh then when I went to buy drinks, I brought along my shaker that took the form of a fat chicken drumstick.
So I was like carrying my root beer in one hand and carrying a drumstick look-alike in the other then I was like peacefully going back to the fearon stand when this group of people came and attack me with...... water!!! ohmygoodness. they were like shooting about with this watergun thingy like some osama madman. hahaha.
Ok, oh ya then being a very patriotic house member (like real), I cheered a lot (for real). Then there was this particular ole cheer where you must jump about like some retardo, So I was jumping about, without knowing I was jumping on my root beer all along. so when I wanted to take a drink, I looked down at my feet and saw this deformed red can sitting there. So dumb lol.
Ok, that's about it man.
Bye! (:

haha however, due to joy's time lag, it is not that new anymore. lol it's already a week old (:
Anyways, now I've got a leg rest in class(: stolen from 4/1 lol
actually, it was not really intended for me, it was actually intended for christine in front cos she dislocated her knee.
but since the bench was so long it stretched till below my desk, it is considered shared between me and her(: haha
Oh and I remembered signing up for the 8X50m event for sports day because I thought it would be a fun event.
Who knew I got transferred over to the 200m event.
When I went for training yesterday, I died without even completing 1/4 of the journey. How unfit! lol but what to do?
Hm, I think there's this new thing between me and chemistry. What in the world. How can I not know how to do simple chem problem solving? And I think I've become attatched to carelessness. What the it's not like I can't see or think or whatever la. what a twitter!! (lol what's twitter? random word.)
ok, this week has been crazy. crazier than common test week which is totally ridiculous.
now, shall go and slack around. by the way, yours truly will be shaking the honourable MM lee kwan yew's hand tomorrow. oh yeah!! haha. there will also be this photograph session with him! haha!!
