I'm not panicking... i'm not panicking.... i'm not panicking.... i'm not panicking... i'm not panicking.. i'm not panicking... i'm not panicking.....

OK ... FINE!

I'm officially in panic mode. Exams starts in 2 weeks. And I'm not prepared at all. I still left half a module of POA which i have yet to figure out, I'm completely not confident for my math. Human Resource is not here not there and my Law... let's just say it's challenging and leave it at that.

To make matters worst, I signed up for French Delf Exam. It's not the easiest exam. In fact what it can be described of the level is as way above my head. And it happen to be right smack between my exam dates. Talk about crazy! This is 10times worst. Didn't even know what i was thinking.. Ok fine. Maybe i wasn't thinking at all. In anyway, I'm so dead.

Think about it.. in a week's time most of you would probably have finished with your exam. Right.. My nightmare has just begun and well last for 1 month long.. God Bless me.....

Well, since i'm at it, i've decided on another post ...

This song, to me, is very romantic. It's a mixture of English and French song. A love duet between Lorie and Billy Crawford.

A little background on the two singers: Lorie and Billy were once attached but now they have broken up, but they remained as friend. Though I'm not sure if they had broken up when they sang this song.. the kissing at the end you know...

Title: Say Goodbye
Artiste: Lorie & Billy Crawford

L: Le premier fois que mes yeux (the first time that my eyes)
Se sont posés sur toi (had laid on you)
J’ai senti au moi un frisson infini (I feel an infinite shiver)
Il y a qu’en regardent dans tes yeux (It is in looking in your eyes)
J’ai vu un ciel entièrement bleu (That i see a complete blue sky)
Cette façon d’entrer dans mon cœur (This way of entering in my heart)
Me fait vibrer de bonheur (cause me to quiver in happiness)

B: The first time I saw you
My dreams just comes true
Softly, your eyes
I saw you with me baby
The feeling that I can’t describe
I can’t explain a reason why
The only vision that I see
Is you in my heart

When I kiss you
When I hold you
When I love you
When I tell you
I’m always there girl.

L: (Je t’attendrai où que tu sois) - (I will wait for you where you will be)

B: When I sing with you
When I dance with you
When I be with you
Make love to you
I’m always there girl

L: (I will be waiting for you)

B: I will never ever let you go
This you already know

Together: Cos the only word I say to you is goodbye

L: J’ai envie, de ses nuits où je rêverai de toi
(I wished, of his night where I have dreamt of you)

B: Touch me
I felt you with me Baby
The vision that I can’t see
I wait for you to see it too, girl

L: La seule vision que j’ai de toi - The only vision that I have of you
C’est d’être toujours là - This will always be there

[B: When I kiss you
When I hold you
When I love you
When I tell you
I’m always there girl.

L: (Je t’attendrai où que tu sois) - (I will wait where you will be)

B: When I sing with you
When I dance with you
When I be with you
Make love to you
I’m always there girl

L: (I will be waiting for you)

B: I will never ever let you go
This you already know
Cos the only word I say to you is goodbye]

[] repeat

Together:
Cos the only words I say to you
*pause*
… Je t’aime (... I love you)

The other day, my family and i went for lunch somewhere near SGH and i thought the wanton mee was pretty good. It is located in the makeshift market opposite the HSA , Centre for forensic medicine. The owner of this stall, 191, is an old couple and they mainly sell noodles of many kinds. If you ever, pass by there, think of trying it out. Plus, I heard, there are quite some pretty good food located over there.

I just remembered, a few nights ago, I had the weirdest dream. I was having high tea with my favourite cousin in law and her youngest son, zachary. So, we were at this restaurant and i remembered spearing a siew mai with my fork. We were eating while someone beside me was talking and waving his hands in the air. The person sitting beside me was SpongeBob. Apparently, we were discussing a murder case which had happened. And spongebob was insisting, to my thoughtful looking cousin that he knew who the murderer was. He whipped out his brown suitcase which he had left under the table and set it on the table as he rummaged rather frantically in it. And he said voila! as he pulled out a picture frame. Turning it around, i peered at it rather mystified, to realise i was looking at a picture of patrick.

And spongbob said "THIS IS THE MURDERER! PATRICK!" rather dramatically in my opinion. I was speechless.. and not soon after, i woke up.

Talk about weird dreams....

I was talking to my mum this morning when i recalled a very weird thing which happened to me in JC. Some of you have probably heard about it. It was funny now that I think back about it. But then, I was more embarrassed then anything. .

Usually, in the morning, my dad would drop me, jeraldine, Esther Lim and Bryant off at school maybe 5 - 10mins before the bell rings. During that time, we would head over to the toilet to freshen up before we join the class at the assembly area.

There was once, I was looking into the mirror, when i realised that I didn't see my bag on the ledge reflected in the mirror. So I spun around and took a look. Only my file was there. When Esther Lim and Jeraldine left their cubicles, I looked suspiciously and quite accusingly at them asking them not to play and to return me my bag. Of course, they looked puzzled and insisted that they didn't take any bag of mine. I refused to believe them.

After awhile, Jeraldine suggested that perhaps I had left it in my dad's car, so i quickly made a phone call to him and verified that i had indeed left it on the floor. My dad had to make a U turn immediately to return back to the school. Meanwhile, the bell had rang, Esther Lim and Jeraldine had to go off to queue up.

In panic, i dashed to the main school gate in hopes to see my dad. It was like a fish swimming upstream as a whole crowd of latecomers were doing a 100m dash into the school compound before they were "booked" for latecoming. My PE teacher, Mr Boh was blowing rather violently on his whistle to hasten them. He saw me from a distance running in the opposite direction and came over to confront me. I babbled something about 'dad , car and bag at school gate...'. With that, he let me passed.

While all these were happening, Jeraldine had went to join the class and told our tutor, Mr Yim that "Esther had forgot to bring her bag". He probably looked a little confounded as the rest of the class burst out laughing, or so, Jeraldine had informed me.

Anyway, I reached the main gate only to see an empty car. And i realised my dad was in the school already. So, I ran back inside.

My school has a very weird structure. From the foyer, we can see a long flight of stairs leading down to the school compound where all the students gather for assembly. So, usually, most staff would stand on the foyer, along with the principal and the vice principal would look down at the students in the compound area.

Anyway, I saw my dad from a distance standing beside my vice principal while she held my bag. I was cringing in horror as i strode towards them. My dad had spotted me and both of them were walking towards me as well. However, the National Anthem sang out and all of us froze in our spot as we sang. When the song concluded, we continue closing the distance between us. But the pledge came on and once again, we were forced to freeze. Everyone including my dad recited the pledge, since he was wearing his army uniform. For the third time we continued walking again at the end of the recital only to stop in mid step as our school anthem came on.

Well, obviously, my dad didn't look too happy when i finally arrived at his side. As a matter of fact, neither did my vice princpal. Especially as she warned me not to forget my bag in future.

As i walked down the long flight of steps to join my class, i could feel as if the whole world was looking up towards me, every of my movements monitored. When i finally arrived at my destination. Half an hour after the ordeal, the class burst out laughing. I guess, the situation was funny then. But i felt as if i could sink into the floor..

Yesterday was indeed a busy day. First I had Korean class for 2 and a half hour with adelyn and my cousin. Then, My cousin and I head off to nearby cafe cartel for a little bit of POA tuition. After which, I had to rush off to meet up with Jeraldine and Jane at Kovan from where we were going to Adelyn's church at Immaculate Heart Of Mary (known as IHM). Arriving ther 45mins before the service, we entered the dark but fully air conditioned sanctuary where there were already quite a number of people settled there. After a short while, we finally tracked down her parents and sharon tay who arrived much earlier then us.

After greeting friends and Adelyn's families, we settled down, after much fidgeting. Only for me to jump up 10mins later. Karine arrived, abit lost, partially my fault as she arrived alone. We came back into church and settled down. Only for me to jump again after 15mins. I needed to go to the ladies..... Hence, I dragged Jeraldine along with me.. When I came out of the ladies, the whole church was in utter darkness and I was feeling lost (literally)...

Jeraldine and the rest were pretty shock to realize that the service was 3 hours long and we kind of emptied sharon tay's bottle of sweet in hunger... But we survived. Correction... WE SURVIVED!!!!!!!

Personally, I thought the baptism part was beautiful. Made me kind of tearful actually.. and adelyn isn't my daughter nor was she getting married! So i couldn't understand why i feel so tearful... hahaha... anyway, it was a beautiful ceremony...

After the ceremony, when most had left, Adelyn, Karine and I decided to take a picture in her, what i personally term as "Knight of the round table" robe... erm... Ok .. don't hit me!!! hahaha ...

This is a video taken from music & lyrics. My favourite show for the moment starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. It's so sweet and romantic that I can't help but fall in love with it.. Ya ya... typical Esther.... Haha...

TITLE: WAY BACK INTO LOVE
ARTIST: Hugh Grant & Haley Bennett

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again some day
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a
Way back into love
I can't make it through without
a way back into love

Oh oh oh...

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some directions
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a
Way back into love
I can't make it through without
a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

Oh oh oh...

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a
Way back into love
I can't make it through without
a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Oh... oh... oh...

안녕하세요 ! I finally went to study Korean with adelyn and my cousin kelly.. It's... let's just say ... interesting. It's not easy seriously. But what language is easy when you first start out right? It's been some time since i last started french.. 5 years ago actually.. It has been a long way. Currently, I'm doing Delf B2 with Christophe, a professor at alliance. It's challenging i can say as much.. And i worry about signing up for the exams.. But I figure I'd try my luck.. It's a start... Hmm.. i can't wait for the next korean lesson...
