This is the start of the life of Raimie in Germany translated and edited(ALOT) directly from the original, one and only, one of a kind, special edition, unique copy of 'My Diary'...sounds cool... but it is actually a journal which all students who participated in the exchange have so that they can record all happenings during the 2 week long stay in germany compulsory to be written...IN GERMAN! But dun worry, since this is the translation, it will be in English.
DAY 1
At the airport, i was like looking...so these are the ppl im gonna spend the nxt 2 wks with...EH why all girls de. 6/20 guys? Thn i was on quiet mode alrdy although we played cards haha. The moment the plane lifted frm the ground, i felt a sense of lightness in my heart matching the lightness of my body..free from the entanglements, free from the commitments, free from sth called homework..I exclaimed to myself- I'm finally free!!! No la jk. I was super scared of going to germany...still afraid tht i was gonna get kidnapped or sth LOL. DONT LAUGH!
When we arrived in Germany, I smelt my first nostril-full of european air...eh why smell the same de? jus tht abit colder haha. Thn we took a bus to the sch and thr we met our babies we had waved goodbye to 4 months ago whn they were in singapore.
Nici's house was as big as how he described it to be whn he was in singapore...4 levels, one basement(my room and toilet here!). The house was so big tht thr was a ringing thing to signal to the ppl in the house tht its time to go or sth lol.
After having breakfast with NIci's(MY PARTNER!) family and unpacking my stuff, Natalie(Nici's sister's partner) and Nici and I met up with Jan+Richard(friends) and we went to an old castle and climbed to its top. On top, it was freeeezing and it was hard to breathe. After taking some pictures, most of the boys came to Nici's house for table tennis...right beside my bed LOL. Thn they were like: wah ur room, ur bed so big! Lol thanks nici!
In the afternoon, me+Nici, Nat+Ari, Lucas+Lukas(haha what a pair) and Clare+Issy went to an ice-skating rink! Ari drove at 180km/h sia super fast lehh(for the first day only...stay tuned to find out the record!). The last time i ice-skated was 5 yrs ago and i paid the price dearly T_T. After having 7 or 8 HARD and PAINFUL falls, i finally gt the hang of it(means i finally can dont fall not tht i can skate smoothly lol). Then thr was this small german boy i think see me so noob in ice-skating keep coming and swerve in front of me always LOL. Thn after i started stopping(well nt exactly an oxymoron, but still not bad :D) the falls, i decided to get my revenge and avoid letting him do it anymore. HAHA and i succeeded whn i finally was the one swerving into his path although it was only once LOL(miraculous achievement!). It was super fun haha although my right shoe was tied too tightly and i had a deep cut lol.
Then at night, we went to a club for Jan's birthday celebration and I played pool for the first time!(hahahahah alicia) It was super fun but i didnt pocket any balls. all miss zzz. After tht we came home and here I am writing. Plain water here is carbonated - imagine sprite without sugar haha. Having troubles understanding and conversing in german. MUST start catching words and MUST start talking =x.
Dunno who so pro...dun need wear long sleeve shirt sia!! wah my idol!
CASTLE
WHEE on top of castle also got slide seh!
ICE SKATING
No more photos of ice skating paiseh...first day mah...too paiseh to take too many photos LOL.
What a surprise, its kinder surprise! i didnt think i would see this agn ever since joy came along to replace surprise lol.
yay! another toy to add to my collection!
DAY 2
This morning sth funny happened during breakfast. I was biting a slice of tomato and suddenly the juice frm the tomatto squirted out to my right! i turned to look and shit! the whole of ariane's(nici's sis) left sleeve was stained with tomato juice LOL! thn she still didnt realise and was talking abt sth...so i didnt noe hw to tell her sia haha =x. Now like so funny..bt at tht time i was really embarrassed ==, keep spamming sorries lol duno wat to do haha. after breakfast, nici's father wanted to bring us for a spin in his car. i was like okay...till i knew tht his car was a porsche! I was like Cool nvr rode on 1 of those b4...till he drove at 250km/h max on the highway! haha super fun lol...b4 going he still ask me whether i was scared or nt coz i was at the front sit LOL. Thn nxt we went all arnd the house and the garden...and my estimated size of the hse just gt doubled lol. At abt 1pm, me+nici cycled to the soccer court to play with jan+richard, leo and some othr germans. WAH cycling during winter is VEBRRRRRRRY cold. like my whole body shivering while cycling lol. And the germans are REAL gd in soccer lol. their legs super fast haha..ic why sg cant make it to the world cup le, hopefully they will 10 yrs frm nw lol.
In the evening, Lucas+lukas and clare+issy came to the hse to bake! haha we helped shape the cookies and do some jam-adding and we had great fun haha. Now as i write this journal im enjoying one of the cookies lol. At night, all of us met up with gregor+warren and all of us went to a christmas market. It is like a pasar malam bt only opens during the christmas season. some of them also have heaters so ppl can keep warm while eating or drinking stuff haha.
Abit later, we went to play bowling lol. hahaha at the start i keep missing sia and i was last in place thn lucas keep suanning me. But suddenly i started hitting some pins down and the last round i got a strike! haha and in the end i beat lucas to make it, to the 2nd laast place! great achievement. Thn my turn to laugh at him LOL. My german speaking and understanding is slowly but surely getting better! i can feel it!!! jy raimie!
Check the car out!
First time helping to bake!

Germany
For the first time after 1 wk plus, I finally eat rice agn for both lunch and dinner like i always have since i was young. the rice here the taste dunno hw to explain sia, like very unique, gt extra taste lol.
The cost of living here also very high, like u see 1 meal wah so nice 5.00 thn u see the € behind and u say achsooo its $10.(btw achso is a slang which means sth like ahhh ic. i think i spamming it unintentionally le sia =x) thn u say okay lets go buy a bottle of coke and it costs 1.25 thn u see the € behind and u say sheiße(means shit) thts $2.50. bt come to think of it its nt too bad till u get a 0.2 litre glass bottle haha. Thn lets say by chance u win a car. thn u wanna park it in the carpark while u shop. so u spend 4 hrs in the shopping centre having the time of ur life shopping, window shopping, probably. soo u happily go to the ticket machine to pay for the card to get ur car out. okie hw much is it? 10.00 agn with the € at the back. achsoooo $20 and thn u will be glad u were merely window shopping.
Im nt trying to say anyth, im just saying MAYBE sometimes its btr if singapore just stays as a partially more economically developed country(pMEDC).
Normal drinking water here more gassy thn soft drinks seh. its like drinking sprite without sugar lol. initially i didnt like drinking it coz i thought the taste sucks...and luckily it is has a special thirst quenching effect. so whn i rly needed fluid, i would drink abit, be reminded of the sucky taste, and avoid drinking it for as long as i can. Bt after drinking only carbonated water for 4 days...recently whn nici's family bought the uncarbo ones for me and natalie to drink nw i think tht it tastes more weird thn the carbonated water alrdy lol.
Okay ending le. But to u guys: Reading my well thought-through and well-refined or sucky (depends on ur perception) posts are nt free. Please buy the entertainment u get frm reading my posts(whether it is a laugh at hw stupid my posts are or awe frm reading my unique posts) with a tag. especially this boy oops i mean girl called clare if u r reading this. THANKS GUYS!

1 week gone, 1 week left.
hallo sgians. how u guys doing. 1 wk nvr see my family alrdy, miss them, miss home lol. haha today is nikolaustag here in germany (nikolaus day, 6 december). This morning, i woke up, said gd morning to nici's mum, thn was blur ma so jus walked out of my room, although noticed sth on the floor, i thought it wasnt mine so jus went to bathe. after bathing didnt wear spects so jus keep walking into my rm, went out, thn go eat breakfast. Only whn after breakfast thn only noticed a bigg boot on the floor outside my rm full of chocolates and also a thumbdrive. thn i was like : shit, i shld have said thx to nici's mum? zzz Its like i learnt in german class tht children will put shoes outside their room thn nxt morn will have sweets and chocs bt thought its longg time ago. but this morn really have and worse is i cant even see it LOL. thn my second bag of chocolates came whn i was on the train going to frankenberg, a person dressed as santa came to our sitting place and asked who is the youngest. thn gave me a bag of chocolates wow. nikolaustag is the best la lol.
let me share some stuff with u guys lol. the german keyboard is quite similar to ours, jus tht the places of letters y and z are switched. nt a big deal? it can cause FATAL mistakes whn a sg small boy comes to germany and chats on msn. lets say someone ask u whether can come ur house to play, and u say: y dont u come by now. bt thn u say: z dont u come bz now instead. thn u close ur msn box nt knowing tht u type wrongly. tht sucks if u r a small boy...u lose 1 day of playing time! zz spent quite a while thinking abt this LOL.
Thn thrs another thing. the german number 6 is spelt sechs and is pronounced almost exactly like the 3 letter word. bt the funny thing is tht one day i was watching a show in my rm on the tv thn this advertisement which promoted wallpapers of virtual ppl dressed scantily or in bikinis or watever came on. thn to entise ppl to sms to purchase the wallpapers, the last 3 numbers to sms to was 666 thn the voice for the advertisement say sechs, sechs, sechs read the number out, with the last 3 numbers said seductively. LOL i see alrdy damn funny hahaha. And btw i sooo did not sms LOL.
oh and i cant reply tags coz my hp cant see cbox dno y so tag replies will have to wait till i use the com here =x, nt tht thr r many new tags.

What is a homework?
I´m supposedly on a great holiday in a foreign country, but somehow, i cant seem to enjoy myself, something all the way back at home is bugging me, like a pebble in a shoe, a mosquito bite on a leg, an itch which cant be scratched because everyone is looking at u whn u r on the stage. Whaz is this tht is soo great? yeah u guessed it, every Singaporean student´s best friend, homework.
My homework is at home collecting dust while i am 6000+ miles away enjoying something foreign, neglecting the stuff at home. So, I´ve decided to sever all ties with my homework and not think about it all the way until 14dec whn i reach home. Yes! im a free man now! haha
Let me tell u all sth funny. on last saturday, whn i first arrived, i didnt understand nici´s mother´s german becoz she spoke crazy fast. so all the qns she asked me during breakfast, i was like saying yes, yes, yes. Thn before i knew it, before me were a plate with 3 eggs, a container of yoghurt and a bowl of cereal. So in the end, i ad to eat till i was super full becoz i didnt want to offend the mother by not eating what i "wanted" to eat. full till cannot walk properly zz. So i told myself i must understand the german of germans properly soon to avoid sth like this again. and now, im proud of myelf! at least 80% of wat ppl say i can understand le haha.
Its gettin colder by the day, hopefully it snows before the end of this exchange. Nici is great, patient with me despite the disappointing speed i speak german at, unlike one or two other hosts who just speak english to their partners. haha im learning the german slangs, but no matter how hard i try also they dun sound natural, unlike the way the germans say the slangs themselves. Nevertheless, i will persevere, by the time i go home, can master at least a few slangs le. I´m quite lucky, coz nici´s sister, ariane is also in the exchange and her partner, natalie, jc 1 this yr, has gone for this exchange last yr and her german is very good. so she is my translator and she also helps me haha. i think if she not with me i every dinner for the 1st 3 days also need eat till full lol.
kk i go le. still alive, dun worry (:. have fun guys.

Germany here I come
Haha leaving for germany in 4h 50min. First time to Europe and during winter some more! U guys must be thinking tht Im excited and so lucky and bla bla. But frankly, Im super scared. Who wouldnt be? zz going to a foreign country with nobody frm ur family by ur side, away frm ur home for a total of 16 days. Luckily the german exchange is they come sg 1st b4 we go thr, so at least i noe them le lol.
The coming of this trip inevitably reminds me about the xiamen table tennis-wushu trip last yr (30 Nov - 12 Dec 2008). The trip which really taught me a lot about how to enjoy overseas trips. Now my passport still being covered by the cover supplied by the xiamen trip haha! Made a lot of new friends thr and also further understood many people btr.
Hopefully this Germany trip will be as fun as the xiamen trip, although i will be the only rvian going -.-.
P.S. please sms me while im thr, so at least i have some entertainment frm home? haha although i probably wont reply. Hope I come back safe and sound!

Tmr night going germany le...but wont talk abt it.
Went to our current sch campus this morning, and the tears which welled up in my eyes nearly rolled down my rosy cheeks as I took one last glance at block P from the outside…exactly the same as it was 2 yrs ago, whn I first came into rv. 2 yrs gone in a flash…I can recall hw the sch has changed me- from a quiet and boring guai kia who always used to chiong home frm sch everyday just to maple or dota, into a ABIT more talkative guai kia(yeah, still a GOOD boy) who has learnt the importance of enjoying life while he still can.
Then, there were the rumours, yeah super cool rumours! A lot of people buried in our sch during ww2, then gt black colour water come out of LT5 the toilet the tap, and thn thr was this rumour tht 4 batches ago the tt camp some ppl saw ghost in block P. And I even had my very own encounter myself! In my imagination.
Not forgetting, the friendships established thr. Most of them lifelong, some of them short-lived, and of course thr are some, I myself don’t even noe how to explain.
Therefore I would like to say thank you to the current malan road campus for being such a great environment which has helped me learn and grow, and for being a humble witness to all relations established. I will definitely miss you! Maybe I will visit you again someday, maybe, maybe.
Went to Waseba Shibuya Senior High School at 4pm for friendly matches against the Japanese students thr. The standard of their players have improved compared to last year…but their best player whom I remembered seeing last yr, caught my eye as I went into the tt room. I immediately wanted to play with him. Soon enough I got my chance and it was a hard fight but I beat him. Thn whn I went bak to the others, mr tan suddenly asked me to look what I had done. He was kneeling on the floor head down and crying (im assuming, coz his head was down?). Thn jiao lian said he nvr lose to rv ppl b4 thts y will cry -.-. Thn, he finaly got up, and I could see in his eyes the blood-thirsty vengeance he was seeking for, and I knew he wanted his revenge.
So soon after, he asked to play again with me…and I agreed of course. So he decided to change into a new (mystical?) shirt and thn the revenge match was underway. And this time, it was a harder match thn the first, and I saw myself losing. Zzz and thn, disappointed in myself, I knelt down on the wooden floor, too ashamed to look at anyone, and wept silently. No la I didn’t do wat he did lol. But I was quite disappointed tht I lost. Aiya nvm la, the most just blame it on the shirt!

yahoo.com is a scammer!
Last night was supposed to be the funnest night ever. I was so close to doing it for the first time, and I was geared up for it. So i waited and waited till it was the scheduled time for us to meet - 1am. I could not wait any longer, and immediately dashed out of the house to welcome you. But to my despair, you weren't there. The beauty, the rare but good feeling, all of which i so long desire, wasn't present despite my eagerness. But I refused to give up. I waited for a total of 30 minutes for u, standing outside my house, with nth but the clouds in the sky to entertain me, when actually u shld be the one doing that, but u never came. Then, did i realise that yahoo.com tricked me! The meteor shower which they promised would appear in the sky last night at 1am did not appear at all! -.-
Still say what 200-300 meteors could be seen in the sky in 1 hour all across asia, no matter whr u are. Then what very rare will appear one time so dont miss the chance. Then now no news of it sian. Haha just want to share my foolishness with you guys lol. jasmine another foolish one LOL, also stay up haha! Go laugh at her.
P.S. Every info in this post is true...except one. Who can tell me which info is false and tell me the correct info will get 20 bucks frm me! Tag ur guesses!

Cool song lyrics!
Ever heard a song and immediately, any one line of the song just catches your attention? I would like to share with u guys a line of a song which makes me ponder just after listening to it once or twice.
"Forever is over" - Lovedrunk
The phrase "forever is over" is super cool lol. How can something forever be over when it is, erm, forever? Things which are promised to last forever actually do not quite often in the world today. Teenagers nowadays ah, tsktsk, keep having relationships, then say what "muacks, i promise to love u forever and ever" or "i will forever be by ur side" or "We will be together forever, nth can break us apart". Then the next day, "alamak, tired of u le la, so long, sucker!" zzz. What about the forevers which are supposed to be for forever?
This scenario has two possible causes.Firstly, many teenagers these days, mostly boys (or even girls), toy with the feelings of people who truly love them, and just treat them and love like a game. These people are unscrupulous and i despise them. "But what to do? How to solve this problem? Like as if I can read his/her mind?" u guys may ask. But I, Raimie, will offer the perfect solution: Stay single forever lor! Hahaha no la of course not la. U must choose the right person, dont just judge a book by its cover, dont just judge ppl based on their looks. Character is of utmost importance.
Another possible cause of this scenario is that many teenagers look at a relationship just for the short-term, and do not see the relationship go all the way. This kind of love is called puppy love or affectuation. So like, one day this guy saw this girl for the first time and then they go out, and after 1 week they start doing what married couples do. Like, wth? It is like as if they both know that their relationship will end soon and they want to get the best goodies out of it before the treasure box (poor metaphor?) closes. You might think that it is not too bad, because nobody is getting affected. However, it is disgusting, its like xiao4 li3 cang2 dao1. Like saying "I love u" when deep inside u r actually saying "hehehehehehe". This will still affect u because from here, u will increasingly enjoy being in a futile relationship just for the "goodies", even if it means toying with the feelings of others.
Therefore, this phrase is cool and definitely worth pondering into as it offers insights on how true love should be. (PEELED!)
P.S. Any amazing lines of songs which are interesting? Share with me please on the tagboard and maybe i will get them peeled haha.
"Forever is over" - Lovedrunk
The phrase "forever is over" is super cool lol. How can something forever be over when it is, erm, forever? Things which are promised to last forever actually do not quite often in the world today. Teenagers nowadays ah, tsktsk, keep having relationships, then say what "muacks, i promise to love u forever and ever" or "i will forever be by ur side" or "We will be together forever, nth can break us apart". Then the next day, "alamak, tired of u le la, so long, sucker!" zzz. What about the forevers which are supposed to be for forever?
This scenario has two possible causes.Firstly, many teenagers these days, mostly boys (or even girls), toy with the feelings of people who truly love them, and just treat them and love like a game. These people are unscrupulous and i despise them. "But what to do? How to solve this problem? Like as if I can read his/her mind?" u guys may ask. But I, Raimie, will offer the perfect solution: Stay single forever lor! Hahaha no la of course not la. U must choose the right person, dont just judge a book by its cover, dont just judge ppl based on their looks. Character is of utmost importance.
Another possible cause of this scenario is that many teenagers look at a relationship just for the short-term, and do not see the relationship go all the way. This kind of love is called puppy love or affectuation. So like, one day this guy saw this girl for the first time and then they go out, and after 1 week they start doing what married couples do. Like, wth? It is like as if they both know that their relationship will end soon and they want to get the best goodies out of it before the treasure box (poor metaphor?) closes.

Outcome of rvtt outing 2009 :)
What an outing~~~! Haha it feels SOOOO good that a fun outing was pulled out eventually despite the discouraging turn-out lol. Only 11 ppl turned up despite the countless smses sent out by me hah, but nonetheless I think all of us who went agreed that it was worth it LOL.
At the start, it was freezing cold when we ate together at the mac at west coast park…haha all the girls were just talking among themselves and so were the guys…with an exception of jeryl that is (jkjk =x). I have to admit even I didn’t know all of the sec 2 girls’ names at the start so we had to introduce ourselves. Haha then we had the first laugh when tzechong purposely recalled their names falsely just a few seconds after their introduction. He was like pointing at them one-by-one and said, “Erm jasmine, enqi, jean, jiale” although none of them were there lol. Ever since then, the ice between us slowly but surely melted even more.
Next we went to the sand pit with the hanging thing whrby ppl could swing frm one side to the other and played captain’s ball thr with the captains hanging on two of the hanging things haha. The captains were endlessly being swung around by the opposing team so they couldn’t catch the ball lol. Next we played soccer and for most of the girls, it was their first time, but they were super talented la haha. Liluan scored a hat-trick sia LOL, and jeryl didn’t score an own goal! (lol dun need have phobia of soccer le) Shimeng and regine lim were super brave la lol, defend so well, even can save yuchen’s super powerful shot. The other team was great too, mindy nearly got a hat-trick also, if not for nilar’s defending hah. Then after tht sth not worth mentioning happened and thn we sat down at played a few hand games and thn the werewolf game we learnt to play in sec 1 or sec 2. After tht everyone had to go one-by-one then the outing was over.
Haha since the outing wasn’t a failure, I will definitely try to organize at least one more outing, because many people couldn’t make it for this one. And thanks to all who came-jeryl, mingwei, tzechong, yuchen, liluan, regine lim, regine leo, mindy, shimeng and nilar, and thanks raimie for initiating sth for rvtt for the first time, and for bringing so much fun to my life as a rvtt member! (lol)
P.S. okay okay jasmine u were right whn u said surely occur some problems LOL.

Zhenghua csc table tennis tournament!
Hello again! Today, tzechong, Terence, yuchen, morgan and I participated in the zhenghua csc table tennis tournament which was quite a disappointment for most of us. It was like any other table tennis competition, until we saw the fixtures list. Morgan and I were allocated to the same group in the first round! So both me and morgan knew that it was highly likely that we had to play for a spot to proceed to the next round. Then my mind was filled with SO MANY questions- What if one of us will get eliminated by the other? Will we still be friends? What if I cried after losing? What if he cried after losing? What if he laughs at me after winning? What if I laugh at him after winning? No la just kidding, of course not! Haha we both knew that whoever proceeds to the next round will obtain full support from the other.
So what were merely thoughts came to reality when we finally faced each other after playing with our other 3 opponents in the group. We both had to win to proceed to the next round…can u imagine 2 table tennis teammates fighting so hard with each other that they nearly threw their bats at the other party every time he won a point just to achieve a spot in the 2nd round merely because of the unlucky hands of some other person who balloted our names into the same group? Of course not la, we were like smiling half of the game rather than nearly throwing our bats at each other LOL. And I cant say that we were fighting for the spot because I got thrashed by him quite easily despite trying to play my best lol.
When I lost to morgan, off I went to emo at one corner, at home, refusing to eat or drink or rest or talk to anyone. No la of course not. I thought to myself what went wrong, I felt frustrated, blaming myself for not playing good enough, not playing the best I could, thinking that how can we win hci in nxt yr’s west zone comp if im gonna play like tht forever. And I forced myself to think that I caused my own loss. However, little did I know tht I was illusioned by the fog of my own failure to realize something much more significant (I hope that’s cheem), something which I was gonna realize soon enough. So I drowned off all my sorrows and frustration by playing with the rest who had all been eliminated from the tournament(they played very well too, just that I don’t want to elaborate). Soon the others decided to play basketball and asked me to tag along, with poor morgan continuing his quest in the tournament. But looking at morgan’s pitiful face and the tears welling up in his puppy eyes, I decided to stay behind to lend him my miraculously effective support, rejecting the much enticing basketball. As I watched and coached morgan’s play, and as the opponents he faced increased in difficulty, I saw in him the fire burning, the passion to win, the determination to succeed, the fighting spirit I so long desire. Just kidding haha. Actually, I saw that his table tennis skills were so refined and polished. And then did I realize that it wasn’t me that caused me to lose to him, it was him that caused me to lose to him!
Eventually, he overcame all odds(well, all but 3) and finished 4th in the tournament!(told u my support was miraculously effective) Everyone go congratulate him LOL. Now I feel that our table tennis team has moved a step closer to at least having a glimmer of hope(still a long way to go) to beating hci in nxt yrs west zone comp with such players improving with lightning speed. Haha and hopefully this will be the last time I ever disappoint my coach!

Post number 1! yeah!
Hello people. While so many others all over the globe are happily typing their 100th post, or their 1000th post, or maybe their 10000th post, I am alrdy so happy to be typing my 1st! What a great achievement haha. Lol why i suddenly want to have a blog? okay basically i was like spending my holiday free time visiting the blogs of others and thought about it. So off i went to conduct a super large scale survey on ppl regarding their thought on blogging, and ultimately whether i should make a blog or not. After spending the whole of the past two days surveying ppl, i got a HUGE variety of reasons either supporting or against blogging. So i took notes of all of these. in my brain. and then i went on spending the next few hours weighing my thoughts and thought and thought and thought what the results of my survey showed. Eventually, despite the number of people i surveyed, the number of people who feels tht I should start blogging to the number of people who thinks i should not blog is amazingly 1 : 1. Can u believe it?! Spent so much time and still, I cant get to a decision! How can it be possible?! Haha actually i only asked 2 people for their opinions, and 1 of them said that it wasn't a waste of time and the other said it was a waste of time(I might have just exaggerated the time spent on the survey a LITTLE). So i was in a dilemma again. But i weighed my thoughts once again, and finally decided to listen to yi shyuan and give it a shot!(sorry jean, didnt listen to u LOL)
Haha i am so gonna get laughed at by my sis whn she finds this blog. Coz back thn, I insulted bloging and msn in her face. Whn i was in pri 4(?) i rmbed tht on our way to mrt, my sis and I started a convo about msn. My sis was pri 6 and she had sooo many msn contacts. So i asked her why she waste her time. Let me recall:
Me: Eh why u waste ur time on msn. msn have 200+ contacts. crazy, like as if u r going to talk to so many people.
Sis: I have so many friends of course then can add la. u no frens(T_T) of course cannot add so many.
Me: U talk to so many ppl for wat. At least i dont waste my time talking to so many ppl. Might as well spend the time on gunbound! (GB era at tht time) I bet i wont even add until 100+ ppl on msn la.
Sis: Anything, i bet with u next time surely u will have at least 100+ contacts.
(Now, I have 196 contacts =x)
Then thr was this incident whn i was pri 6 whn i saw my sis blogging:
Me: LOL wats tht? wat is blogger.com, nvr heard b4.
Sis: See (shows me some blog thn i read)
Me: wth? waste ur time on this, might as well spend time chiong ur maple assasin until higher level. Share with ppl ur life for wat, a pure waste of time.
Sis: You dont talk so much, last time u see me got msn also say waste time, nw u have hw many contacts alrdy, thn now u talk abt blogging.
Me: Haha msn u were right, but i confirm i will NEVER start blogging, just so boring!
Sis: haha wait and see lor.
(Now, I have officially started blogging)
ARGH die alrdy, now still closing my laptop or alt+tabbing whenever my sister walks past. lol. Surely laugh at me one la. Haha lesson learnt-elder sister ALWAYS knows u btr than u do. She might have forgotten these 2 incidents alrdy, but I still rmb them rather vividly.
Now I see a need to have a blog because things just past so quickly and maybe one or two yrs later I can look back at this post again and hopefully get at least a smile.
Haha okay everyone, pls support my blog! I will try my best to make it entertaining, and dont worry, not all posts will be as long as this one. okay i shall start with an aim of 10 posts! See whether i can last till then. lol.
P.s. Thanks a bugzilion to tze chong for teaching me how to create this blog: "So easy just go blogger.com they can teach u hw to make", if not i wouldnt have created it haha. Thanks to yi shyuan and jean for gladly answering my question on blogging by telling me whether it is a waste of time or not. Thanks shawn sim shi long for teaching me hw to add a tagboard. Sorry ah ong(kuan yuan) if i have offended u LOL, kidding only =x. And thanks all the other blogs which i had seen which had made me want to start a blog.
