to be sent through this relatively slow internet connection between
sarah and i,
this intense drowsiness came over me,
accumulated from throusands of nights filled with
nothing but endless deadlines and insufficient sleep.
tiredness also from rushing for the last train
after sneaking off from the hectic schedule
to have a little reunion dinner with
chabo, chia, changs, neh, bonnie, taks and poon.
so while i wait for the transfer bar to slowly get filled by the green growth,
let me share with everyone what i found from my research online recently,
namely yesterday.

Welcome To The Quote Garden!
The mother of the year should be a sterilized woman with two adopted children.
-Paul R.Ehrlich
Remember when the atmospheric contaminants were romantically called stardusts?
-Lane Olinghouse
Human race will be the cancer of the planet.
-Julian Huxley
MY FAVORITE
Give a man a fish, he can eat for a day.
But teach a man how to fish,
and he will be dead of mercury poisoning inside of three years.
-Charles Haas
sadly true, but funny.
with a little shop to get her KATE SPADE not so little gift,
we headed down to surprise her at some tom yam place.
(she was not expecting us)
but as usual, our surprises always get backfired.
just as i was walking towards where i was suppose to be stationed
she walked towards where she is not supposed to be
so with a 360 degrees clockwise about turn,
i ran away with my hair trailing behind and all over my face due to the great pivoted movement.
it was hard but still she saw me BACKFIRED.
bonnie went but she left early because her lesson starts at 8am the next day.
but apparently she didn't manage to wake up in time the next day.
BONNIE GOOD FOR YOU SLEEP MORE.
so our virgin trip to zouk begins with a flag for the cab.
but taxis now-a-days are more sought after than cold hard cash
so we turned to the bus instead.
it has been a really eye opening experience for me.
wide open.
we got there early,
got the chop,
left the bags at the corner with people claiming to look after the bags for us but with a sign that says, "bags placed here are at your own risk. if lost is not our responsibility."
got my yellow 'dog tag' and
off to get cheap cheap alcohol located at some place not quite nearby and
the shop owner they claim is a tranny.
we got to know some of chiayilin's friends who are really funny and interesting..
but i realised one common denominator they have,
they do not have a fixed hair line like others. their hair just change partings every once in a while.
hmmm interesting..
drinking actually makes me really really really bloated.
i have never taken so much liquid at one time.
other than having the urge to explode almost all the time,
i had the time of my life laughing my belly off.
a couple of the photos had this effect because they had the flash covered.
weird what alcohol can make one do.
changs says, "i feel so stress sometimes i really need to take a puff."
WHAT HAS YOUR INTERNSHIP DONE TO YOU
my bra had been very much misunderstood,
its blue not white
changs and yilin turned red from head to toe, really red.
some kind of chemical reaction or something.
anyways the insides of the club was chaotic
i might sound like a 'mountaineer' here but i really am.
we need Singaporean young man who are willing to spend so much to stand around the dance floor.
they are the ones who REALLY pay.
it was a long dayyyyyyyyy
no time to waste for any good man.
time to do projects and make grades.
no sleep, no ideas, hair falling off.
but take this marathon the last one,
take this lap the last lap,
take this hurdle the last leap.
cause good times wait for no man,
good man seeks good time.
-may all of you experience this moment of extreme exhaustion and peace come after you.
participating in NGEE ANN POLY's open house this year also spells the end of lowaiping's three years in NGEE ANN POLY.
my first year was spent lazing around my home
and my second year was spent with the red campers, in other words mean walking aimlessly around in school.
this year i am determined to make something out of it.
of course i answer also personal questions like ,"so what do you see yourself after ngee ann?"
and questions i got to think out of my little box like
"what do you think tourism is about, tell me more about tourism,"
"this year's BA theme was impressive," quoted from PR lecturer.
i totally agree except for the fact the photos that lynette and i took such pain staking efforts to make possible,
were not used.
they are being classified under the sunk costs section as 'being too crazy'
that, i predicted.
ms tan finally gave me my identity back from a TAN like tan lilin, devon tan, tan laiwan to a LOW like... LOWAIPING
she told me that just yesterday
good morning YVONNE...
nah... im not that good actually...
i just got like 2 Cs within 7 days last week !
its just luck...
for all you know, i wondered around NGEE ANN looking just like that for the past 3 years.
some songs mean more than black or white
" i wear tight clothings,
high heel shoes,
but that doesnt mean that im a prostitute..
no no no ... "
chabo is 20 already!
faster than me...
birthdays, birddays, all mean alot!
we had it all planned like 20 weeks ago,
but girls will be girls,
THEY ARE ALWAYS LATE.
so plans are no longer plans.
they become impromptu decisions.
zhiya, "you come down now! shes in the toilet!"
me, "no we got to wait for yilin!"
zhiya, "NO YOU COME NOW! NO TIME ALREADY!"
hangs up.
then we went over,
remember the time we stalked yilin in school!
*we stood down in the middle of the atrium's zebra crossing, with people and cars around.
this time, it was best denki
many many many lanes and lanes of toaster and refrigerators.
lynette and i was like zoom zoom zoom
but yilin was lost somewhere behind when she suddenly stopped.
yilin, "chabo" (voice shaking looking at chabo)
HAHAHA
that was it man.
but no!
they want to keep the act on.....
oh my goodness but in the end we finally met at fish and co.
but having pre-booked a 7 seater table,
... she saw right through everything when they arrived there first.
yilin gave her a damn lousy striped $10 bugis street blouse and pretended that was it.
the gift.
we had to make chabo say she likes it.
and she did HAHAHA
chabo, " i like, i like. really. i like."
LIKE REAL.
then we wanted alcohol so we went hard rock but no no its too small and crowded.
so we went to......................................
A THAI BAR!
located at some remote corners of orchard road,
lets say it was a chance upon.
we did 'pole dancing'
because we were the only ones there. HAHA no shame no shame
then chabo went up to sing on stage.
"we will always support you chabo!"
we didnt literally say that of course, it was understood.
THEN IT WAS NOW!
THE REVEAL OF THE ACTUAL PRESENT!
damn nice please.
she loves it
WHO WOULDNT
LOVE YOU CHABO!
although its already your big 2
we will all stay young at heart forever and ever cause we are and always will be the NEHNEHPOKS.
i was chatting with lynette earlier on and suddenly talk about ah mah's permed hair.
yeah! permed hair!
cant wait to see all of us having afternoon tea together at fullerton's with our PERMED HAIRS 50 years down!
HAHAHAHAHA
that would spell the full-stop to my life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
time to throw dusty calanders and put up new ones!
last night's countdown party on tv was lets say pathetic
i had to change the channel
so i watched The Dark Knight on HBO instead.
lucky i turned back the channel on time for the countdown
i really thought it was my surround system until i realised it came from outside!
so much energy but i never knew which family it was
i could have gone over for the fun!
my new year resolution this year:
laugh at the right times
&
control my appetite
weird these days i just dont know when im full, close to explosion.
time check!
need to get back to work!
but work is work if you dont like them.
and why dont you like them?
because you are STRESSED and PRESSURED.
so... heres a litle song from lowaiping for every little one of you out there
DONT WORRY BE HAPPY
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
coming up in first place.........

the letter from IAN !!!
feels like communicating with someone sooo far away, yet he's so close.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING! its the season to be jolly, yet its also the season for projects and friends meet-ups.
i dare not ask for more because i cant give much (saving up for THAILAND trip)
except of course from raymond, liping's dear and you know why... *winks
GUGU and i saw sesame street at center point just now
i NEVER expected seeing them would make me sooooo happy
they are so much more colorful than what they are on TV.
aiyoh so cuteeeeee
almost made it to the queue to get photos with them if not for the sake of shopping.
i shall not flaunt what i have.
but im very excited about it.
very much excited about it.
sometimes we find ourselves in such a situation that we can never be lower.
but maybe its because of that, what happens next cannot be any worser,
it turns out to be better than what it actually is, good.
problems are problems its what we do that make the problems not so much a problem
but a motivation.
i lurbs you too
low di & low ma.

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS. 
Pictured above in top row – Tan Lai Wan (Advisor), Lynette Teng Soo Fang, Tan Lilin, Faith Chua and Izaac Chan Song Han
Bottom row – Tan Ai Ping and Crystal Tham Yi Hui.
who in the world is that.
yes yes, who would have read it... the fact that a name was spelt wrongly...
yeah the award -- significant
the people -- not significant
or maybe its just me
ah ha! gotcha, i can hear neh say, "nah its noy you ping ping, you know its not you."
yeah i know thanks neh :)))) *lurbs you
luckily my face is there, people can still justify the real aiping (LOW) from the fake (TAN).
watching THE COVE now,
i just learnt from my sis that we cant breed dolphins.
that makes dolphins different fom chickens.
"you got to see them in the wild to know why they dont belong in captivity."
:(
hmmm yum yum
chocolates are such an ambiguous liquid substance.
yet they tastes so delicious they attained a level of the unattainable.
-it makes me drool just thinking about it.
hail to the one who created chocolates.
because it would really be the last to be ranked delicious if based solely on appearance.
and so according to the laws of marketing, it has to be shaped, packed, and nicely placed on a shelf.
it definitely made life easier for 'businessmans' and 'gift hunters'.
its quite sad to receive chocolates as gifts sometimes because its absolutely an 'anti-climax' kind of situation to receive something you already have in your very own fridge.
then come to the stage i think competition is more on the packaging than the quality.
its mood down down down to taste bad bad bad chocolates.
the slippery, milky, overly-creamy effect between the tongue and the upper gum is extremely disgusting.
blehhhhh
Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly - girl I like your face
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand.
Chorus:
Obladi oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on
Obladi Oblada life goes on bra
Lala how the life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers stores
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing.
Chorus
In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band.
Chorus
In a couple of years they have built
A home sweet home
With a couple of kids running in the yard
Of Desmond and Molly Jones.
Happy ever after in the market place
Molly lets the children lend a hand
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face
And in the evening she's a singer with the band.
Chorus
And if you want some fun - take Obladiblada.
Arms, take your last embrace! and lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
-edward cullen in new moon
i'll be there for you!
these five words i swear to you!
when you breathe i wanna be the air for you!
i'll be there for you!
awww....
heart melted like butter on a pan.
- Mood:
mellow
im all ready for christmas.
already thought of what im getting for gift exchange!
i realize how sometimes people can be so demoralizing.
weird why?
1. you can just tell they dont mean what they say
2. they think its great for the atmosphere
not very nice yeah.
even funny at times.
sometimes what we dont need the most are conversations that go nowhere.
im going underground...
- Music:time for miracle, adam lambert
my hair smells so much like it,
sometimes even my throat feels smoky.
then recently i started coughing so hard,
i even had a temperature.
i thought it was......... cancer.
but so luckily the fever went away and i was left with the cough.
life's hard as a second hand smoker,
when my parents are the smokers.
most importantly though, i love them.
love is patient, love is strong.
today is again one of those days i wished i have an open yard.
the clouds are floating so carelessly everything looks nicer under it.
cars look smoother,
people look friendlier.
auntie benny cleaned my house up so well
daddy dragged me by my feet from one end of the living room to the other.
ticklish.
ah mahs and gongs plus a whole lot of my family members are now on the plane,
will be landing in New Zealand in half an hours time!
im mentally with them although im still here...
just the day before,
mummy randomly asked me if she should get a tatoo.
i was traumatized.
then i thought maybe it can be quite cool to get it together.
ms tan would say my nose is unhappy this morning.
i was blowing my nose while shitting.
one by one they are dieing........
first stop!
The Peranakan Museum.
other than crystal dear,
val val is another dear who is really nice to me too.
we spent 14 days together in Cambodia.
hohoho merry christmas....
while christmas is coming,
i was struck by something bad.
john and aaron are good friends.
something happened one day that cause a BIG explosion in the science lab.
and that explosion had something to do with john.
aaron, being like-that in nature,
told harry, his besty friend about it.
somehow, words turned out in such a way that john, instead of the science lab exploded.
so aaron is very worried because john has not been talking to him since the breaking news.
aaron apologised because he thinks he's somehow in the wrong and thats what his mummy told him to do too.
finally one rainy day, john decided to start talking to aaron again!
aaron is happy, because everyone is happy.
looking back, aaron was afraid of the explosion too.
- Location:i did not run away from home.
- Mood:creative
- Music:when i look to the sky, train
first it was resort world interview,
then it was home
and finally, to shell's.
mummy said she dont need me.
if i were to leave,
never come home again.
i said, 'dont lie to yourself.'
and left for the night.
some stupid boys ambushed the bus with what seemed like eggs.
i thought that was quite fun.
