"thank you for your application this year to (insert name) university. i am delighted that we were able to make you an offer for a course, but sorry that you decided to decline that offer.

the university is committed to providing the highest levels of service to applicants and attracting the best students to the university. to ensure that we are not doing anything to dissuade potential students to the university it would be invaluable for us to know why you chose to decline our offer. i would therefore be extremely grateful if you could complete our online survey by copying the link below into a web browser and answering the questions. your assistance and time is greatly appreciated. please complete the survey before 10th September 2006.

may i take this opportunity to wish you every success on your chosen path.

yours sincerely,
director of the undergraduate admissions office"

oh my gosh! i was so tickled. a DECLINERS SURVEY. absolutely hilarious. DELIGHTED to make you an offer, SORRY that you declined. oh, i'm so piting you people. i have nothing against the university. but it's just a really cute email.

king's college london singapore society seminar. it was rather fun. i got to know quite a handful of local law students. we got along relatively well. let's just hope we really bond during our three possibly arduous years there.

nathan hartono is a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD boy and his song is played on 987FM. i heard it on thursday, while i was on my way to ISLAND CREAMERY. the APPLE PIE ice-cream is absolutely finger-lickin' good! i think he is kind of good looking. (: teen idol winner. but he is FIFTEEN. BOOS. i prefer XAVIER JUSTIN LEE. HAHAHAHA.

finally, it was the NEW CREATION CHURCH PRAISE AND WORSHIP NIGHT. drowned in the HOLY SPIRIT and sang all the worries away. AMEN. :D we saw mftp, who had on a top, with horizontal stripes (read: hence, seemingly increased his girth), one size too small. mandy was commenting that it was gross. second master lai was spotted. but the youngest and most adorable of all was missed. ): pastor prince was very charismatic and i loved the atmosphere. it was so heart-warming to see everyone praising and worshipping the LORD ALMIGHTY! many of us were raising our hands and voices to God. FANTASTIC AND SUCCESSFUL NIGHT. thoroughly enjoyed myself. (((:

oh yes, and much to aunt caren's and cassy's envy, we saw CAMPUS SUPERSTAR NG ZHIYANG at the japanese restaurant at the oasis. he also went for the p&w night. mandy and i briefly chatted with his mom and dad. WOOHOOS. he was having his dinner, when we interrupted. so he had to rinse his mouth for almost two minutes before allowing us to snap this shot. HAHAHAHA. he's kind of cute in person actually. and friendly too. but whatever it is, i don't listen to chinese music. it was for aunt caren's sake that we went over. I AM SUCH AN ANGEL.

aunt caren wished they were closer, somehow. queer thinking, i say. (:

WHEN THERE WAS ME AND YOU. :D

i thought you were my fairytale; a dream when i'm not sleeping;
a wish upon a star, that's coming true.
but everybody else could tell that i confused my feelings with the truth,
because i liked the view when there was me and you.
i can't believe that i could be so blind.
it's like you were floating, while i was falling, and i didn't mind.
because i liked the view. i thought you felt it too, when there was me and you.
this song reminds me of cassy yong. and her TWENTYFIVE. he is her dream when she's not sleeping; a wish upon a star; a fairytale. but, he won't let her confuse her feelings with the truth. because the truth and her feelings are complimentary. <33 TWENTYFIVE ROCKS.

BREAKING FREE. :D

we're soaring, flying. there's not a star in heaven that we can't reach.
if we're trying, so we're breaking free.
can you feel it building, like a wave the ocean just can't control?
connected by a feeling, in our very souls.
but your faith, it gives me strength, strength to believe.
I MISS BRYSON! i've not seen him for more than a week! ):

FROM THE INSIDE OUT. :D
a thousand times i've failed, still Your mercy remains.
should i stumble again? still i'm caught in Your grace.
Your will above all else my purpose remains.
the art of losing myself in bringing You praise.
everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades.
never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame.
my heart and my soul, Lord, i give You control.
consume me from the inside out.
Lord, let justice and praise become my embrace
to love You from the inside out.
brandon lai sent me this song, and i've since witnessed myself playing it on loop frequently. NEW CREATION CHURCH; PRAISE AND WORSHIP NIGHT; 28 JULY 2006. i might just be there. then, 'mr hitch' said, "go! no buts!". well, if i can get mornique and mandy to go, i'll definitely be there. WONG KER JIN SHOULD BE DELIGHTED. (:

*marie* says:
oooo.. what do u think of rolex watches?
*marie* says:
do u think i should get one?
*marie* says:
my dad asked, but i dont even wear watches
lifestyle of the opulent. marie anne, we are in the exact same dilemma. (: rolex watch or not? diamond key pendant or not? i bet tonnes of people are ready to wring our necks.

HURRAY! i want to tour europe with mer! it is ultimate coolness to wake up in a hostel in zurich one day, and just simply go, "so where should we go today? and what should we do?".

MY TWEENIE MITCH ROCKED TIMBRE! NONE OF THE ABOVE WAS GREAT!
baby, don't worry about the little glitch. everything else went on fine.
"senorita, i feel for you!"

aerosmith - crazy

come here, baby!
you know you drive me up a wall,
the way you make good on all the nasty tricks you pull.
seems like we're makin' up
more than we're makin' love.
and it always seems you got somethin' on your mind
other than me.
girl, you got to change your crazy ways.
you hear me.

say you're leavin' on a seven thirty train,
and that you're headin' out to hollywood.
girl, you've been givin' me that line so many times
it kinda gets like feelin' bad looks good.

that kinda lovin'
turns a man to a slave.
that kinda lovin'
sends a man right to his grave.

i go crazy, crazy.
baby, i go crazy.
you turn it on,
then you're gone.
yeah, you drive me
crazy, crazy, crazy 'bout you baby.
what can i do, honey?
i feel like the colour blue.

you're packin' up your stuff and talkin' like it's tough,
and tryin' to tell me that it's time to go.
but i know you ain't wearin' nothin' underneath that overcoat,
and it's all a show.

that kinda lovin'
makes me wanna pull
down the shade. yeah.
that kinda lovin',
yeah, now i'm never, never, never, never gonna be the same.

i go crazy, crazy.
baby, i go crazy.
you turn it on,
then you're gone.
yeah, you drive me
crazy, crazy, crazy 'bout you baby.
what can i do, honey?
i feel like the colour blue.

i'm losin' my mind, girl,
cause i'm goin' crazy.

i need your love, honey.
i need your love.

crazy, crazy, crazy 'bout you baby.
i'm losing my mind, girl,
cause i'm going crazy.
crazy, crazy, crazy 'bout you baby.
you turn it on,
then you're gone.
yeah, you drive me.

this song is so cool. it accentuates the power of females. a male groveling at the grounds to beg the female to be nicer to him and to love him as much as he does. that's so weak. and i'm lovin' it!

wimbledon gentlemen singles finals. i'm rendering my support to RAFAEL NADAL.

world cup finals. GO ITALY! alessandro del piero is my hero.

actually, it is belated. considering the fact that it is already 8th july right now. nonetheless, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MY DEAR CASSANDRA YONG. my FAVOURITE ij babe! <333
a bo-law club celebration is never complete without photowhoring. enjoy.

CASSY TURNS 13!

yesterday was a day of quirky encounters! very happening indeed!

first of all, we saw this bi-spectacled, eurasian-looking barker boy on the same bus as us. he kept looking at mandy, as if he knew her. very strange. mandy didn't even knew of his existence before that. his way of speech is similar to mike. how queer!

speaking of mike, i think i saw him yesterday. when our bus pulled over at a bus stop near kallang tennis centre, i saw a boy, who was adjusting his cap, walking up the over-head bridge. when the bus inched a little bit forward, i saw his face. we had eye contact, and he stopped adjusting his cap and walking as if he froze. after that, i exclaimed loudly, "oh my gosh! i think i just saw mike!", which led mandy, cassandra and calysta to straining their necks to try to catch a view. but futile attempts. according to cassandra, she thinks that boy was on board the same bus as us, but at the lower deck. how coincidental!

after wrapping up the mike story, it is now mftp's turn. after chilling out at starbucks siglap, we decided to go and walk around bayshore road. while walking towards the bayshore, we caught sight of a yellow vehicle which bore an uncanny resemblance to coach lucas'. before we could confirm anything, we turned our backs towards the road. but i suppose we still remained rather conspicuous. cassandra and mandy still managed to see the driver and passenger. they were mftp and his mother! however, having said that, i believe they didn't see us. how lucky!

BRYSON WISHED CASSANDRA! after mandy begged brandon for help. so, brandon is to thanked, even though he took a blardy long time. bryson sounded so cute on the phone. and i must quote something!
when nique asked how was his tuition, i reckon bryson heard it as 'how long was your tuition', and he responded in his most adorable way, "one hour and thirty minutes!", which sent all of us into laughing fits. (: how endearing!
THE BO-LAW CLUB MISSES BRYSON!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! CAN ANYONE BE ANY HOTTER? RIGHT, FERNANDO TORRES!
but hell, CHANNING TATUM IS HOT HOT HOT!

SHE'S THE MAN is an enjoyable comedy. it's inspired by sir william shakespeare's "twelfth night". (: it adopted the play's themes of 'mistaken identity', 'gender-crossing' and 'overcoming obstacles to true love'.
as viola wisely put, 'heels are a male invention designed to make women's butts look smaller, and so they can't run away.' couldn't agree more!

youth day holiday was spent in town. we saw bradley, who was flabbergasted to see all of us.
he said, "you all look familiar! oh ya!", while he knocked his right palm on his forehead. so cute.

i saw MY PROPERTY too! and sadly, he had his high socks on again. ):

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL! it's damn cool. yea, it is embarrassingly a disney channel show. but it's my favourite boy, bryson's show! he came to my house to watch it. so it has SENTIMENTAL value. (: anyway, the songs are really rather nice.

I LOVE CHANNING TATUM! <33

being bored and tired after a day at school, mandy decided to text 'insert name', asking him about his life and homework. all of us advised her against it, but she did it anyway. such an evil person like her sure gets bad karma. one of the sms 'insert name' sent her went something like this, "i need to have my dinner now. sms you later. muacks!". the last word sent mandy into a long loud scream. she really deserves it! HAHAHAHAHAHA.

when being told that 'insert name' thinks mandy crushes mftp, my mother said, "he knows and he still 'muacks'?". HAHAHAHAHAHA.

coach raymond reckons mandy is really flat-chested and nicknames her 'to the airport'. however, cousin brandon has more to that. he says she is the BUDGET TERMINAL. (: witty and funny. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

fernando torres; philipp lahm; arne friedrich; francesco totti; kaka; philippe senderos - they are the hottest guys in world cup germany 2006. the reasons why girls watch world cup.

all thanks to mandy, i get a lot of nice new songs. her many guy friends are my indirect sources. yay. :D
PROMISCUOUS; DON'T GET MAD, DON'T BE MEAN.

I MISS BRYSON! ):
