i can see,
the greatest story love has ever told.
finally, after 2 hectic weeks, i have my portfolio, video and essay tucked away safely in the ntu office of admissions (: yay. hours of hardwork and effort boiled down to just a 1minute submission! and tonight i could finally snooze without colourpencils, pencils and paper on my bed! yay.
for the pass 24hours from 3pm ytd -3pm today, i have been breathing, eating and sleeping art! it was a stressful, last minute rush as i created my debut video in less then a day and it turned out good!! (:

ALL GLORY GOES TO GOD!without him, it wouldnt have been possible! i encountered problem in ANY area while i was preparing... everything just WENT WRONG.1. i lost my videocam in taka! (but it was found! THANK GOD! and joce witnessed it with me)2. problem with converting the dvd file to vcd file.3. problem of working with moviemaker AFTER conversion4. noob at using comp microphone5. not enough pieces in portfolio6. unable to scan pieces bigger than a3!7. bad-english essay! unable to burn softcopy.but it all resolved!!! thanks to GOD! to
song'en, advisor for my video, to
xiaoan, for editing my essay and to my
parents, who were always there for me and helping me along with the running around to buy things. to

I HAVE NO TIME TO BLOG!oh well, chuckles is now a school teacher!! (: yay. im teaching lower primary now! and im really pro at problem sums and bar diagrams!
but instead of getting jacking, i get cuteness everyday seeing their adorable faces! (i am not pido)and now im known as
teacher elena/allamanda.the reason they like me is cause im a sweet-smelling flower. ((:
SO SWEET*wells, i told them to call me cutecute teacher but i think it was a WRONG MOVE! hahaas.but then i got a very enthusiastic 'teacher elena' ytd from the preschoolers who were shouting out of the window! it was

yougottabe
chuckles is turning into non-chuckles recently!*freaks* THIS IS A
BAD THING. i have no idea whats happening but im always flaring up and getting moody... grrr. it MUST be the stress.
reasons for being sad/moody/pms-yy:
1. my sister gets a new laptop when i need one too.
2. my mum complains that i dont have time to buy one, when it's cause our timings clash.
3. i didnt go watch nemo on ice :((
4. AMD admission criteria is driving me crazy: my portfolio is far from completion, 3min video with no videocam yet, essay is still missing.
5. my phone is falling apart
6. my room lights are going crazy and flashing... GRR.reasons to feel otherwise:
1. COMPLETED MY UNI ADMISSIONS!
2. karen says that i most probably can get into amd (:
3. i still have friends that keeps me smiling ((:
4. yeow and gareth are not going into ns yet so the comical duo is still jacking me, but making me forget my problems with their stupid faces and comments.
5. my bro is around!!
6. I AM CHUCKLES.i checked my old blogs,
and i realised that i was much happier then compared to now.
you gotta be hard
you gotta be toughyou gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool,you gotta be calm
You gotta stay togetherlisten as your day unfolds,
challenge what the future holds

princecharmingggg
just to be the next to be with you (((:
i woke up at 10 today.
FREAK, badminton was supposed to be at 10. and there goes my chance to go to the gym! hahaha, i long expected myself to miss my gym session! HAHA. so then, i got out of the house late too cause i realised
i LOST MY WALLET :( so phoned coordinator
gareth.elena: gareth yeo, im out of my house late cause i lost my wallet
gareth: HUH! where are you now!
elena: ermmmmmmmmm just outside my house?
gareth:
EXPECTED. youre damn slow..-.-" to have the king of lateness to tell you that is really bad! haha. but it was a good badminton session. sweat it outtt (:
and the miracle happened again!
MY WALLET WAS FOUND at taka! ((: cool. God's amazing at reassuring me tt He's always there for me. and it's one more wallet miracle!! (: i tell you, that wallet loooves me! HAHA.first thought when it was lost: OH SHIT! there goes my ic, my ezlink, my creditcard, my pdl, my money..
on 2nd thought: it was worst to lose all the memories that you have safely kept in that wallet. yupyup! (: wells, I FOUND IT ((: thank God!
and my day was so much brighter today,
cause I MET DARLING HANNAH! and dearest JIAEN (: yayyyys! it took me awhile to meet her! *hugs*we couldnt stop talking in kfc. she told me so many things abt jc life, boys, girls.. and we just talked and talked and talked like forever! she knows so many things that i ended up repeating everything!
and girl, boy am i glad to be out with you cause i know that you probably have to turn down so many BOYS that are QUEUING UP for a date with you!! wells, BOYS, we have to live with them. and even though jiaen was there, i didnt care and i said it straight.....
BAS (boys are stupid)they can NEVER figure out what youre trying to tell them until you simply say it straight in their face! it's like there's one part lacking in their brain or sth.. that stops them from understanding us and from getting that info across! GOSH.and me and hannah have promised to be girls that will never take the initiative (: but i guess to take it is good sometimes too (: wells,
hannah reminded me of SOMEONE again! you brought back old memories. girl, you really like him or sth, your words are influential and im starting to think clearly alr! (:
whats the point of being treated like shit when you can be treated much better?but what if you cant be treated better cause its not time yet? grr.
but still,
YOU ROCK (:and we had a nice shopping session just browsing at temptation. haha. and luckily we didnt piss jiaen off! :)
JIAEN, youre an awesome brother who cares so much! it's not easy following two girls who especially loves shoes and clothes and have to go into every single shop for at least 10minutes each ((:jiaen, youre still a guy after wearing that! nth fell off! lol.
and we camwhored while we chilled in starbucks! and i met
frans and gillian there (: and then, i get to see princecharming,
wu zun ((: arhhh, he's adorable!
seeing hannah and jiaen so happy, makes me want to be happy too...
PRINCE CHARMING............... *emo emo*prince charming must look like that (: haa. IN MY DREAMS.
my shopping cart:
1. u2 pastel spag
2. purple longsleeve lacey top (:
3. limegreen cardigan from zara

drive all day
I'm a creep, i'm a weirdo,what the hell i'm doing here,i dont belong here.i'm convinced that i will never find my prince charming. oh wells, happythoughts.drive byOMGosh during driving lesson today, I WENT ON THE ROAD! OUTSIDE! AH! finally i have the potential to be a hazard on the road! *AH*i have 2 instructors, one that stays extremely calm and let me do all the crazy things like extreme right turns that ive not done before! and another one that is ultra careful and ultra particular about my turnings... and being super exact abt how you cross your hands on the steering wheel. l
ast lesson, I SET MY PERSONAL RECORD OF STALLING LESS THAN 5TIMES! yayyyy. i start every lesson with a clean memory about how to drive,
it feels like the first time behind the wheel all the time! (: but today, i guess i stalled ard that many, cause he was making me jam the brakes at 2nd gear and sometimes, you jam it too much.
one bad bang: hit a curb in the circuitone attempt to kill myself: forgotten to stop infront of a dotted line, driving into oncoming traffic!THANKGOD for instructors and their footbrakes! HAHA.i got so freaked out when my instructor just changed gears up and up! *creeps* but it was fun (: OVERDRIVE (: haha.
i cant believe im driving on the road and giving way to pedestrians and jaywalkers!!! :D
and i babysitted my bro today! (: the fat boy staring in a disney channel movie now looks like my bro!! SO CHUBBY!
i love my bro's overdramatic nature (: the way he exaggerate about everything. i had fun cleaning up his leftovers, (possibly) cleaning up his poo-poo, making sure he's bathing and singing finely. and he taught me how to pack the bed correctly today (:
what can i do without this cute bugger of mine (:one happythought: watching spongebob's retarded episodes and watch my brother mimick spongebob! HAHAHAAHA.i went orchard with my bro today and he dashed through the sports shops asking the salesperson..
"do you know where to find boy's swimming costume?and when he found them, he was shocked and told me:
"they only have underwear for boys!"going out with hannah tomorrow!! *jumps for joyyyy* girl, we're going to talk till the cows come home, i'll drag
j'e along!

no surrender, no retreat
obviously, i wont be such a movie spoiler and go tell everyone what happened in the show.BUT 300 IS A GOOD MOVIE! ((:it's better then any movie in the theatres now! seriously, its good.action, blood, 6pacs, and touching *sobsob*today's brother jiaen's birthday! yay. and for him, i got dragged in to watch 300! it was m18, and i was super freaked out alr on my way to greatworld. clinging onto seh and gene, whining on and on and going 'liao liao liao' cause i seriously dislike war-related shows.
(people wishing to watch, DO NOT read from here)----------------------------
the costume's so cute! lol.
BUT this GREAT epic movie proved me wrong. amazing. it was more then just gory images and blood spattering for free, more then nice red cloaks, and good 6 and 8pac bodies from the spartan army! (: (after awhile, you realised that they all basically have the same buff body, just diff actor) the super COOL slow mo actions of them fighting! *stab slit cut*, the rhino scene, the elepants, the show was moving! and makes you wonder whether such unbelievable patriotism to a kingdom/country still exist today (apart from terrorism) their bravery and courage was amazing. and the 300 are there LAUGHING at the endless spread of soldiers, actually happy that that golden opportunity finally came when they can go against a worthy army. death was sth glorious!
shield poke method's cool.
soldier with arrows pierced talked to halfdead king:
"
my king, it was my honour to fight alongside you this day"(that's it! that line triggered it. and i started tearing for the warriors! they were so brave sacrificing themselves, the pain! and defending a country kingdom that needed a lady to hit them back into making the correct decision and send more troops... IT'S ABOUT TIME? )
sobsob the king was yelling for his queen before he dead but she couldnt hear him.
sob sobsobsobsob. sad queen waiting for king that dead in war :(
sobsobA perfect, undefeatable team
its unbelievable.STUPID TRAITOR
and it's equally amazing how we started laughing at weird parts.. spoofing everything ourselves.. seeing random goats wearing clothes, wondering how every of the 10,000 soldiers can hear the rally speech or do they just follow whatever the front does.. "eh raise spear alr la!" and the whole redundant porn sex part was just enough to fill in the extra minutes. laughing at head flying. at wounded ppl randomly shouting, screaming. persian gay guy! LOL.
yay, good good movie (:
anyways, sherm, it was great seeing you coming back! hardwork paid off! :)) and i'll buy nice clips next time!gareth, thanks for the cab back! can cut down on my bro's tuition food to pay for the cab. HAHA."the soldiers look thirsty, lets give them sth to drink"

Others who broke my heart

hey, the video's not working! :((( sorry! but pls be happy!
my pri2 tuition girl is really sweeeet. she lurves pink too and she leans on me while i teach her! but she gets really naughty after awhile and always hides her math workings from me. and i bought assessment books for my other kids!
i feel like a mother.tomorrow's cj's orientation02. it will be my 4th orientation facilitating.
im addicted to the building of endless memories from orientation, the fun is just amazing ((: well, i told tp, i always try to be sad when ppl feel bad going cj aft postings... but the fact is that it's my sch... so i shouldnt feel that way (:tp, moretalks! :Dpromise
hun to not be late tom.
and have the objective of waking
shm tom..
and that's probably the quickest fastest way to up your phone bill and give your ears a little challange hearing real tehhing! and if he's going to sch, must plus escort by elena and plus free hug from "my bestfriend" sean lee. HAHA. i tried very hard also okay.God bless the broken road

Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly,
setting him free
((:
a videomontage from my bro's kindergarten concert!
at that time, i was undergoing one of the depressing and bitter days, and this video actually made me smile. so may this make you smile as well! (:
i hate myself for not being able to make people happy sometimes. ARGH.
ANYWAY, really have to thank my aunt. she's a prof in nie so could have a word with the prof from the ADM faculty in ntu. and she gave me some info (: and for design, it's probably the most qualified choice already.
ADM: an interllectual and creatively balanced 4-yr undergraduate program in a wide spectrum of art, design and media disciplines, leading to an internationally recognized Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
probably the way it is. or is it? nus? usp?
IM PUZZLED AND CONFUSED STILL.
God, make my way!
AH.

crossroads
im at the crossroad(2march07)
"elena is seriously nervous la..." -
weixinya man. first time seeing elena like this aye. i kept my mouth shut for the longest time in school on friday. sure i was happy that cj did better... but was more concerned about my own. well, tried to track back to the As period but realised i didnt even comment on it... i just blogged...
"i shall not say anything cause there's really no point"AND I DID CRY IN THE END.
i know myself too well. stoning emo.mrbala looks at me and shakes his head.mslee gives me a look of acceptance.ms soh hugged.mrstan hyperventilates with me.ms low just beamed.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for wholeness and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me. When you seek me with all your heart."
-Jeremiah 29:11-13
Thank you God, i would have been empty without You. pls lead the way.
AND TODAY CALLS FOR A CELEBRATION!!!MAN U vs LIVERPOOL (:went to
songen's house to watch after yf! and i shall say,
it was a good goal but not really a glorious win? o'shea in the 91st minute!wells, the hardcore man u fans think otherwise... and their reason: (
tp says)
we played like crap, lost rooney thru injury, scholes thru red card and giggs and ronaldo played so badly and WE STILL WON. mark of a champion.elena says:
in other words, DAI KOO.okay boys, whatever! just thinking that
liverpool fans would be feeling darn shitty after that match! but still, great bdae surprise for xinan as we attempted to play a random game of polarbear during halftime when we brought in the cake when everyone's sleeping! listening and wasting your life listening to daniel's words. LOL. nearly throwing aaron out for being a neutral-pro-liverpool fan. eugene going MAD. and gareth coming in for the free cake and free ride home after the match! HAHAHAHA.today went to visit facil training! and
made friends with mrtan's son! he just went mad when he became hun's godson! and jason trained him to be a dangerous assasin taking a bamboo stick and poking everyone. he even attacked me! and what a hilarious scene... jason was dragging him on the floor with the bamboo stick cause he wanted to be dragged! and we just broke down laughing and forgotten about massdance! puppeteers... :D it was great to see the j2s!
sliteye sean YOU WATCH IN! sahmir, i owe you that 1.5l water ((((:my bro said in an innocent way: i have to support arsenal and not man u cause man u is the red devils and we cannot support the devil! ( i was speechless)and a love note to JOCE:
