「 bouncing away 8:14 PM 」

took part in the inter-pdg heats today.
got sixth in the level for our 8 X 50m relay. ((:

after school we had our normal wednesday trng, while other sports ccas cancelled their trngs cos of the heavy rain.
tt's the good thing about indoor sports. :D
trng nowadays quite pointless, i think.
coach only has one hour or less left for us by the time he's done with the jc1s.

with the tournament drawing closer and closer by the day, its hard not to worry.
but i do hope tt alot of people will go down to support our matches!
come on, yck sports complex is so so SO near our school, at most a ten minute walk.
hope we wont get pressurised if other schools have alot of supporters and we have none. :/

GAHHHH.
i have this weird feeling stuck inside me but it doesnt wna get out.

had a fun time talking with lover, gf and botak at pizza hut yesterday. :D
i dont know how to give advice, or what to say to comfort you.
all i can do is to be a good listener if you ever need one ay. (:

and i found the answer to my own question yesterday night.
while doing my vectors tutorial.
seems miraculous that i can complete six questions with so much going through my mind.
joyce is a good multi-tasker! LOL.

Chinese New Year!
i've finally decided to stop being lazy and blog about my exciting chinese new year.
chinese new year only ended today for me, cos we made one last visit to my second uncle's new condo in cck.

chinese new year's eve was the usual homely reunion dinner for me and my family.
didnt go anywhere but stayed at home and ate the food my mama cooked. i havent had dinner with my whole family since last year's reunion dinner.
after dinner, we just sat in front of the tv to watch all those new year programmes.
at twelve midnight we decided to go outside to the lift lobby and play with sparklers!
in the end there was alot of smoke and my neighbours thought there was a fire. heh. so embarassing la ohmygod.




so we played with sparklers at the balcony instead.

stayed up till quite late then went off to sleep.

the first two days of chinese new year was quite typical.
day one:
first stop was at my godma's condo in bukit panjang!



me and jolene ng, on our way there. (:
us three with godpa and godma. (:
with cousin MARTIN. hoho.

me and my mama! so REDDDD. hahah.

my parents! they look so sweet in this photo that i've set this picture as my phone's screensaver. :D

and my papa hate taking photos! new year's an exception. of cos must make good use of it. haha.

the next stop was my GREAT GRANDMA's (she's hitting the big 90s soon i think! :D) house. every year my whole extended family will gather there to visit her first, then the whole crowd will go off to my grandma's house and stay there for the whole of day one. for day two everyone will go to my san shu gong's house in the morning, then to my house for the rest of the day.
oh! and i won five hundred plus bucks at blackjack at my house.
no no, i didnt rob the bank la. i was the banker, and my relatives were playing huge bets. hahah i have magic fingers. :D
everyone stayed at my house until near midnight because they wna win back their money from me, but of cos they didnt. :p
and i won hundred plus today at my uncle's house again. heh. i'm the gambling queen la, thanks! :D


typical chinese new year (gambling) scene with my big big family. hohoho.

jun yi! hahaha. she's everyone's favourite baby. :D your heart will melt when you hear her talk.


boys will ALWAYS be boys. hahah.




my pretty auntie who's one year younger than me, lol.


me and sophie dear!


thats my great grandma. ((:

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! heh.


at my house on day two!






without them enduring all the smoke in the kitchen we will have no food to eat. (:











do some MATH and you'll know how i got this:



HAHAH, joyce is a rich girl now. :D

took this today! i think my GLAM QUEEN shirt made me lucky. heh.


i love the feeling of having all my relatives to gather together and play blackjack, chat about what's going on in our lives and all that.
and we can only see each other once a year, during chinese new year. except for some of the closer ones la.
even though my aunties uncles and cousins will always ask the same few questions every year i still like the feeling of the together-ness. (:
but this year got new question!
hahaha. okay they never even ask me, everyone just assumes that i have a boyfriend la.
my aunties keep asking my why i never bring my boyfriend along, my cousins keep asking me to show them my boyfriend's photo.
then i just told them i mei2 ren2 ya04, hahah.

i brought my camera along with me and camwhored like crazy.
ran around trying to make all my cute little cousins my photo subject! hahaha.
now i got truckloads of photos please. (:
but dont think i'll be uploading all to blogger, it'll take ten thousand years.
caught up with my cousins too, and we had fun gossiping and surfing the net while they were at my house.
i'll miss them so so much after chinese new year!
everyone'll be busy with they own lives and dont really have time to meet up and stuff.
but its okay, i'll be looking forward to next year. :D

one thing i hate about chinese new year is all the FOOD.
:/
but luckily i have my parents around to remind me not to eat too much.
they keep warning me that i'll get fat la! hahah, they're so cute.

lou-hei with the squash girls last wednesday, after trng.
i only like the crackers! but we had fun throwing the yu sheng bits around la. heh.




went for the IHDC yesterday with shan (sotong ball) and gf after squash trng at yck sports complex.
i didnt realise my interschool tournament is only a month away until we saw the notice at yck squash courts.
so fast.
quite sad la, no more trngs after tournament.
i cant imagine school life without squash trngs and the squash girls. it'll be so boring la. ):
and interschool tournament! i'm not sure if i'm even ready yet.
but i will have to be.

anyw COUGAR won the IHDC!
us three were laughing like crazy woman during most of the parts.
goodness.
i was super high yesterday, keep laughing and couldnt stop.

common tests coming next week!
now still not so bad. wait till term two comes.
i foresee my grades falling like how the value of money fell during the Great Depression, with the Track and Field and the interschool tournament.


alright! super long entry, i took three hours to type this! :/
*goes off to sleep*

porky and i LOVES talking in msn language now la. hahaha.

Valentine's Day
thanks for all the gifts from 02 people and squash girls!
and AND! the rose that surprised me during squash trng. ((:
love you, darling!
and all of those who made my supposedly LONELY valentine such a happy day.
you never know how a small action or simple words can touch someone's heart ay.

i think the song dedication and the cookie made yipyip touched!
that explains the ba kwa he bought us today. (: he's nice for once!

the squash babes did something for coach and coach-sao as well. and alice teo. :DD
i thgt it was rlly sweet, of us. HAHAH.

dinner at new york new york became at mos burger :/ due to unseen circumstances.
heh. but it was the company tt matters la. i love my girls!
too bad lover couldnt join us. ):

thanks to porky for entertaining me over the phone when i called her.
lousyyy, next time better think of more cold jokes to make me laugh okay.

i wanted to, but in the end i didnt.
because i was afraid to.

if only, you knew how much.
but i think you dont.

chinese new year celebration today!
me and porky had good laughs throughout the celebration.
so not used to seeing NANA dancing so gracefully.
more used to her burps and her chorlor-ness, hahahah.

went town with NANA and porky.
wanted to go kbox at first! but they were charging a horrible price of sixty eight bucks for three person cos it's the new year season.
):
so disappointing, cos i didnt get to hear porky's terrible vocals.
NEXT TIME WE SHALL GO AGAIN!
shop hopped around town.
i wanted to get a new pencil case! but didnt see anything that caught my eye.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
i'm looking forward to wearing my new clothes, catching up with all my relatives, eating all the new year goodies (DIET, DIET, DIETING), and having many many ang baos.
hohoho. shall take lots and lots of photos!

dragged myself up for the mac ritchie trial run today.
horrible weather, freaking hot la.
how come when i go sun tan dont have this kind of sunny weather!

but anyhow, we still passed our five km run!
all ran under thirty five minutes. (:

actually long distance runs are really dependent on your mental strength.
it's more of whether you want to do it, than whether you can do it.

throughout the run i was trying to tell myself to focus on the running, and not on anything else.
somewhere, sometime, i lost focus. for awhile la.
but i didnt want to fail and re-run again.
yupp, so just pushed on. :D
so glad that none of us gave up.

it's coach's tenth year coaching in aj this year!
and he's going to get some award thing. (:

and i've been wanting to blog about this thing for some time already, just that i keep forgetting.
this is not your one-man show.
please remember that. thank you.
dont want to be too explicit, as long as i get my point across.

yesterday was 'joyce's accident prone day'.
i whacked myself/got whacked so many times with the racket and the squash ball i almost lost count.
but it's SIX.
two times near the eye area and four times i forgot where, hahaha.
i regretted not wearing my eye protector!
stupid botak wasnt even sympathetic lor, still keep laughing at me for my stupidity.

porky has a new nickname!
im going to call her 小蝴蝶 from now on!
hahaha. her counterpart is called 小蜜蜂, but i shant disclose who. heh.
skipped chem lecture tdy and went around school taking dumb photos with little butterfly. HAHAHA. little butterfly. oh my goodness.
and she forbidded me to post her unglam pictures! )):

went to tjc after school for squash friendlies.
their courts were like so high class compared to our pok pok underground courts.
BUT!
the architect who built the courts is dumb la.
the sun will shine through the windows and directly at us when we play.
so like half the time we can't play properly.
in the end we just waited for the sun to set, before starting our games.
i still prefer our cosy courts, even though the walls are peeling away, the court floor is full of shoe markings, the seats outside are lousy and the fans are not in proper condition. :D

won both my games but didnt really play well.
distracted, i guess.
and there was this irritating guy who kept clapping VERY LOUDLY whenever the tj girls win a point.
i super bu shuang him la.
then when i played with my opponent i whammed my racket against the glass door whenever he clapped.
piss me off lor.
and my right arm was hurting like a damn lot, so i couldnt serve properly.
think i probably strained it too much on wednesday trng.
time to see the sinseh. ):

and one of the tj squash guys is my primary school friend!
yaowen, my classmate from primary one to four.
and i couldnt recognise him! :/
i've seen him a few times before! but it NEVER EVER crossed my mind that he was my classmate.
i know i got STM, but he really changed quite alot what. hahaha.
last time he was this botak and plump little boy, LOL.
after he told me i still took like twenty minutes to remember.

hope my arms heal in time for nj friendlies on monday.
they're coming to our school to play. hahaha. i think we better spring clean the courts before they come.

trials are finally O-V-E-R. (:
-heaves a sigh of relief

valentine's day next wednesday.
and i'm going to spend it inside the AQUARIUM with the squash hottie, COACH ALLAN!
ohmygod. that's quite sad. hahaha.

2 february AJC CROSS COUNTRY
can't recall anything much, but we were running under the CAN-DIE kind of hot sun.
and it didn't even feel like we've ran the distance of 3.2km, i think it's much shorter than that!
hahah, the scenery was a nice change from mac ritchie.

kudos to gf for finishing the run even though her arms nearly fell off! XD
and NANA too, hahaha.
luckily someone was there to catch you when you fell hor?

went to watch Happy Birthday at j8 after cross country with lover, gf, ys and jas.
on our way to the bus stop we saw some auntie picking saga seeds.
then we started to pick them too!
saga seeds are small red seeds shaped like a heart.
they're meant to be given to someone whom you miss, cos they're called 相思豆!
hahah i realised i had 44, when i counted mine at home.
favourite number, four! :D

okay back to the show.
it's very meaningful and touching ay.
everybody go watch okay!
i kept tearing, like ohmygoodness. hahaha.
but it wasnt only the movie that made me cried.
hahah but i think the movie really potrays what love is like in reality.
somethings, are better off unknown.
the relationship between the male and female leads was quite contradicting, but very real-life kind of situation.
lover could sense the EMO-ness around me on the bus trip home! LOL.
watching it again on monday with NANA and porky!

bought black stiletos today!
i pity the one whose feet i step on next time when i'm wearing them. X)
i think i have to practice wearing them at home!
so that i won't be my usual clumsy self during chinese new year. hahah.

going for some more new year clothes shopping tmr with the sister!
i love chinese new year!
can't wait. (:

some photos from the cross country ytd!


me and my competitor running tag!

cougarian/squash girls!


porky was terrorised HERE. but not by me!


happy birthday xuenie! (:


squash girls! PRETTYYY. :D




our unglam photos with the marshmallow thing! i bought it for porky cos it resembles her wobbly arms. heh.

me and NANA went to porky's house to bake last thursday!
made cookies and brownies. hahaha. don't ask me whether they're nice.
porky is such a spoilt brat la. don't even know where all the kitchen equipments are!
i know her kitchen better than her alrdy can. X)
i love baking!
next week we're baking at my house! hope they don't act like some terrorist and explode my microwave oven or burn my kitchen down. heh.

porky doing housework! ohmygoodness. i think it's her first time washing pots.




the brownie exploded. hahah. not my fault okay! porky's oven was too cheem to use!
