What a wonderful world...

Dieting and stuff

2011-12-05T14:19:00.000+08:00

Urgh!

Dieting is just so hard!
especially upon the fact that it is a long term thing, which means I have to bear with the hunger for a few months.
Well, I suppose for 21 days because it takes you 21 days to make something into a habit, I theoretically, I won;t be feeling that hungry once I get used to it. But hey! it doesn't sound as easy as it seems. Well, at least not in my case. So, I've come up with this new motivation method...THINK SKINNY. I figured if you keep looking at pics of skinny people and think you look like them, you'll feel less hungry because you'll think that your body requires less food for that weight. I don't know if it is going to work though.

Actually, this is not just about dieting. This is also about how much will-power you have. I believe that if I'm able to "survive" this, my self-control and will-power will be strengthened too!

Lynn! YOU CAN DO IT!
Goal: 120lbs
will not tell you my current weight...too embarrassed.
It takes be about 5 months.
But i am going to start on a positive note:
21 days... only 21 days... that is 3 weeks = less than a month= right before Christmas.

well, I guess I can't pig out for this year's Christmas then.
But the good news it, I can still go SHOPPING!

So...let's see if I will follow through my plan.

p.s. need to start going to the gym too!

p.s.s. Love the song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey. Justin Bieber's version's not bad too! :D

p.s.s.s. Good Luck to myself for Church's Christmas play! Hopefully I'll be able to memorise all my lines well!

Told you I'll be back.

I haven't been here for a while and I think I am going to start blogging again because I want to improve my essay writing skills. Not only for English, but also for the essay that I have to write when I go to university. I suppose those essays make up most of a student's marks. I will try to be consistent and blog on a regular basis. Since I do not have time to describe everything that had happened during my none-blogging period, here are 10 random thoughts that I have.

10 random thoughts:

1) I want to take up Fencing.

2) I want to learn French and German .

3) I'm suppose to be going to the gym but since I spent so much time trying to figure out how to use Wordpress...oh well.

4) the six, eight and nine keys on my keyboard are not working very well so I feel like throwing my PC out of the window right now since I can't even type the open bracket.

5) I've overspent recently but I still love the new Hunters I bought. Sorry mom, don't kill me.

six) now that I'm frustrated, I feel like eating junk food!

7) I need to get my 'L' before the end of winter break.

eight) Finance, Economics, Marketing or International Relations?

nine) Kei Nishikori beat Novak Djokavic in ATP 2011 semi-final. I do like Djokavic but since he's already world no. 1, I'm glad that Nishikori beat him. If I'm not wrong, he'll be playing against Federer this Sunday. I like the both of them, but I still wish that Nishikori would win since Federer is already one of the top players.

10) I have not loss a single pound. urgh!

Oh! btw, I've changes my blog address from iamlinglan to iamlynnjin since I'm using the name Lynn most of the time now.

The pig needs to takea nap now, so...

It's been a while...

2011-11-06T06:21:00.000+08:00

2011-05-10T10:43:00.001+08:00

When i don't procrastinate so much and have more time,

sorry for neglecting you my beloved blog.

The chronicles of food. the diet, the cake and the temptation.

2011-02-19T13:08:00.005+08:00

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

-Friedrich Nietzsche

haven't been posting for a long time...

have been procrastinating and slacking.

Have been trying to force myself to read books.

currently reading Falling

angels by Tracy Chevalier.

not sure if it's good yet cuz i'm only at page 2. lol

but the reviews are pretty positive so i guess it's not bad.

recently, i have heard my friend say,

"If the whole world is crazy and only you are not crazy, then you will be crazy"

So basically, majority wins.

If one wants to make a difference, one has to fight.

i'm not THAT ambitious, but i thought it might me good if once in a while, i have the courage to do something out of the box. something that may seen queer to many people. Like, riding on a unicycle to school!!! :DDDD

I think that i've improved quite a bit in tennis. woohoo!

just continue to pay attention during lessons.

Finally got my fitness centre membership card...yay me!

i'll try to go jogging as much as i can

1)to get in shape (lose 20lbs)

2)train my stamina for tennis since i would really love to get into my school team

i've established my order of believe:

1)GOD

2)Myself

3)My mom

not bad not bad... ... ... ...

That's all fot today.

Sheee yah!

2011-01-16T11:43:00.003+08:00

i used to be hurt my rejections and negative comments
i still do, but the hurt feelings are getting lesser and lesser
it seems like I've become more immune to rejections and negative comments.
If what that person say is not true, i will just forget about it.
but if the comment is educational, i learn from it, and ignore the hurting part.
OPTIMISM IS KEY! :D

cheers

many people have said that they think i look manly.
not to the extreme, just slightly, about 40% i think.
i am considered tall, 5'7 and i have broad shoulders
i used to be quite dark, but now have gotten lighter, but definitely not fair
my body is average, not skinny nor fat.
i have shoulder length hair,
i used to have a bob at around jaw length
all in all
i don't get why people think i'm manly.
they don't mean it in a bad way though.
maybe it's the way i perform my actions, like the way i walk etc.
or maybe i just look trustworthy and reliable?
I DON'T WANT TO LOOK MANLY!
so i've come up with steps to make myself look more feminine

1)get long hair
2)walk more gracefully (very hard!)
3)???

i really don't know
ugh... i'll just grow my hair long and see if i get less of the "manly" comments

cheers

Habits:
a few posts ago, i told myself that i will start establishing new good habits with the 21 days rule.
but then, i've realised that i have so many new habits to start, my brain is telling me that i can't do it. (sorry brain, i have to use you as an excuse a.k.a scapegoat)
so i've decided to try 2 out first.

1)practising violin for 1 hour everyday
2)read a book or a magazine before going to bed everyday

that should be easier :D

TTFN!

i regret cutting my hair short!
it's taking forever to grow!!!!!

2010-12-28T10:51:00.003+08:00

mummy always say...
one need to compare yourself with those better than you to improve
but figured one need to compare yourself with those that are not as good as you once in a while to boost self-confidence and also learn to appreciate what you have :D

cheers

2010-12-24T09:40:00.004+08:00

day 1:
so fail!!!
actually, i shouldnt say that this is day 1.
i had a meeting at my friend's house and we had chips for lunch.
i didn't go to the gym today.
i had my violin lesson, so i don't feel like practising somemore
maybe i'll read Business Week and CNN news later.
but the rest just has to wait till tomorrow
last time, i forgot to mention that the day before yesterday, i cut my bangs too short...
AGAIN!
i did go to the hair salon. but the lady was too busy so she told me go go back the next day.
i was too lazy to walk there again so i cut my own hair.
hohoho.
fortunately, hair will grow.
plus my bangs usually grow quickly.
i think it will grow to a suitable length before school starts.
it's better than the last few times i cut it, not that short, eventhough it's still considered too short.
plus...i saved $5! :D

p.s. tomorrow i will,
1)go to the gym and get a membership card
2)go to the libraby and borrow one or two books to read
3)practise my violin for 2 hours
4)not eat an junk food or drinks
5)memorise 10 new vocabs

only 2 more days to christmas!

2010-12-23T13:14:00.000+08:00

3 MORE DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!!

2010-12-23T12:55:00.003+08:00

havent been updating for a while

not that i don't have anything to write about

i was just being lazy.

i i have nothing to do, for example, on the bus, i would think about what to write and then when i get home, i'll be too lazy to write it down.

so, previously, i've learnt that most human beings take 21 days to cultivaate a new habits

i'm going to try it out.

here's a list of what i would like to make it a habit of doing:

1)Practise at least 1 hour of violin everyday

2)read Business Week everyday

3)skim through CNN everyday

4)memorise or review 10 vocabs everyday

5)cut down on junk food

6)blogging

7)jogging

8)read an article from books or NatGeo magazine.

starting from tomorrow...

there are some that are harder to accomplish, like for example, i can't possibly go practise tennis everyday. it's hard to find a partner.

jogging everyday is hard. but i can try.

just 20-30mins after school, instead of taking a nap.

i should really cut down on junk food.

i've been snacking the whole day, both yesterday and today.

my stomach doesnt feel good.

i had 2 cans of pop today.

AH!!!

too much sugar,

no wonder i've been feeling so tired.

tomorrow will be day 1 :D

hopefully i will be persistent enough to carry out my plan.

found this guy called Lee Kikwang from the korean band Beast/ B2st on Youtube today

he's short... but cute and his body is so hot.

haha

now i sound like a perv

see for yourself!

nice abs!

i will go jogging everyday so that my body will be as good, or maybe half as good as Kikwang,

eventhough i'm a girl :DDDDDDD

TTFN!

2010-12-10T11:40:00.001+08:00

I LOVE CITIES...

New York
Shanghai
Tokyo

blah blah blah...

2010-12-08T12:43:00.004+08:00

Sudden random thought:

in marketing, i learnt:
the value of the product comes from how the customer uses it and not from the object itself.
therefore...

fashion does not come from the clothes itself but from how you wear it and most importantly, if it suits you or not :D
many people have figured that out already but i just suddenly felt like writing it down to remind myself that.

18 more days to Christmas! <3

Roger's Santa Clause Parade 2010 (Vancouver) Volunteering-A Review:
i reached the volunteers gazebo at about 10.30am
Lilian and Coco were suppose to come at 11.30am so i was there alone
and i was really early even though we were supposed to come at this time, no other volunteers were there, well except for a few.
after about an hour, more volunteers came and i met some new people.
At around 11.00am, i started giving out Santa Clause masks and everything was going well, more people were coming and i was high and cheerful.
when the parade started, i had to move people to the curb.
buy apparently, everyone wanted to stand closer to the floats and get goodies form the giveaway people and almost none listened to me, a teenage girl. well, except for a few kind souls whom i appreciate very much.
i asked them to back up and after i walked away to the other side, people move back out again so i had to keep doing this and people became irritated.
one man even said "Don't touch me!"
seriously, i only lightly touched him to ask him to move back since he WASN'T LISTENING & WHY WOULD I WANT TO TOUCH HIM!!!!!!
i understand that people want to have fun and enjoy the parade, but I'm just a volunteer and this is my job, i can't help it.
then i started crying, yes, in front of everyone. not really in front, i had my back facing them.
i was really frusted by those people but mostly by myself. i felt so useless. i went to a corner to cry for about 2 minutes and went back to do my job, determined to do it well.
this time, more people listened, since they can see from my swollen eyes that i cried. again, i would like to thank these kind souls. but still not many. there's even a lady that lied to me. i can still remember that she was wearing a hot pink hat. i asked her if she was from the media because people from the media were allowed to take photos anywhere they like. Then, i found out that she wasn't, don;t ask me how, it's a long story.
anyways.
also, people looked at me as if i love to make their lives miserable.
when the parade ended, i took a letter that i wrote for them to sign to prove that i've done this volunteering thing. then the guy told me that he's not in charge and that i have to contact the people in charge.
so i bought my subway (by the way, i did not have my lunch until about 2.30pm), went home without volunteer hours recorded and depressed.
i was so tired and upset when i went home so i told my dad what happened.
i felt even worse when he started talking about how inflexible and silly i was to do that.
WHAT!
i was just trying to do a good job.
do you know what he told me to do?
he told me to just sign in and leave without volunteering
THAT'S SO IRRESPONSIBLE!!!

enough of complaining!
at least i've learnt something
i think i did a bad jib this time because i wasn't calm enough.
i believe that if i looked more confident and cheerful, people would be more willing to co-operate
lesson learnt

yesterday, i went to do my SAT
it was not as bad as i thought
the math wasn't hard, just the vocab part was comparatively more challenging
in the examination classroom, i saw this poster that says "the only mistake is when you don't learn from a mistake".
i can't remember the exact words but something like that
i totally agree with that
everyone makes mistake, only GOD is perfect.
so when i was walking home after my volunteering, i was telling myself,
instead of thinking that i was so unlucky, think, i am so lucky to be able to have this experience and new learning opportunity.
just learn from it and you ll become a better person :D

by the way, after i got home from the parade, i took a nap and I'm feeling so much better now :D
maybe i was just too tired.
I'm glad that I've canceled my tennis lesson from 5-6pm.
because i still have tins of homework to do and a Japanese test one Tuesday (consisting of a looooooong list of new vocabs and Katakana letters)

moving on...
dad bought a new printer from Staples today!
it's 4 in 1 (fax, photocopy, print, scan)
so awesome!
the Canon one that we brought from Singapore did not work well because of the difference in voltage.
this one's HP, an awesome brand too. :D

20 more days to Christmas! :D

2010-12-01T13:42:00.003+08:00

i have been trying to like reading news
so i started reading CNN and BBC online for these couple of months
but to me, they are just not interesting.
recently, i 've been reaing Business Week and interestingly, i really like the website and its articles
probably because of my love and passion for Business.
also, the success stories are inspiring.

other than that...

I'M SO TIRED!!!
eventhough i just woke up form a nap
I WANT TO SLEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!

Lilian, Coco and I went to this volunteer orientation thing for the Roger's Santa Clause Parade
before that, we went shopping and tried on some random clothes which was super fun
and it was so funny how we tried on so many of them and they were all kinda flashy

we were a little late for it and all the free cookies for the volunteers were gone
NO!!!!!!

so that brings us to the end of today's story :D

cheers

2010-11-26T11:02:00.003+08:00

It's cold outside...
so, i ve prepared a bowl of nice warm mushroom soup for you. :D
Mmm...yummmmm... ...
BUT!
GUESS WHAT!
just one bowl of this delicous soup contains 34% of the sodium we need for the whole day!!!
so if you would like to have a 2nd serving... that would be 68%
from two bowls of soup.
but i guess it's alright if i drink it occasionally
after all, it's winter and a nice warm bowl of soup is just SO AWESOME :DDDDDDD

Friday's pro D day again.
time to catch up on some sleep.

cheers.

2010-11-21T05:03:00.005+08:00

we learnt about Sleep in Pychology.
but i'm confused because different researcher have different conclusions about how much sleep we
need and if we can function well with little sleep by getting used to it.

my brain had not been functioning properly from Mon-Fri due to lack of sleep

i always procrastinate and had to stay up late to finish my work

i thought it was ok.

BUT IT'S NOT!!!

i can't think properly and when i speak, i don't know what i'm talking about

my brain was like floating somewhere else

if someone said something funny, i know that it's funny and i actually find it funny but i just don't feel like laughing.

it's as if my cheeks are too tired to laugh.

normally, i would wake up immediately when i hear my alarm

but these few days, i just turn it off and continues sleeping

i'm definitely going to change this bad habit.

but because next week's the last week of the term teachers are giving out last minute test.

i have about 4-5 tests next me

to think on the bright side, Firday's pro-d day!!!

and christmas is coming!!!

i hope it ll be a white christmas this year.

high possibility

because it's only November and it's already snowing :D

red and green font for christmas! :DDDDDD

2010-11-16T08:46:00.005+08:00

sometimes when i am too free and i look back at my older posts, i realise how immature i was,
not that i'm mature now, but matureR.
one thing i like about blogging or keeping a diary is how when you look back at your older posts, you can laugh at them and see how much you have grown or learnt.
it's like looking at phtos of yourself when you were younger.
i think it helps in your essay writing too...
like the old saying goes: "practice makes perfect"

i've just read this news article on Yahoo!
'Mexico hunting 12-year-old drug gang hitman'
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/rtrs/20101112/twl-oukwd-uk-mexico-drugs-bd5ae06.html

i don't usually read the news, unless it's really HUGE news like the earthquake in Haiti
because i'm a lazy person.
but this news article caught my attention because it's about a young boy who commited murder.

i like children.
partially because they just look so cute
but also because they are pure
the younger they are, the more innocent they are
they represent hope.
A young child is like a white sheet of paper.
with proper education, he or she can become a wonderful person, but with the wrong education, he or she can be easilly led estray.

that's why i like volunteering at places with children.
my pschology teacher told me that some children in orphanages bang their heads on the wall
not because they want to hurt themselves. they just want to get the feeling of people touching them like how our parents will hug us or pat our heads.
It's really sad to hear about things like that happening to innocent chidren.

so what shall my conclusion be?
i'm really not good at writing an essay or something of that nature because i don't read lots of books
i realised that some of my posts do end abruptly or i just change the topic randomly.
sometimes it's because i ve finished what i wanted to write about or it also could be because i ve lost my trace of thought.

The (abrupt) End.

2010-11-13T12:45:00.006+08:00

WHAT IS THIS!

It's a dead mosquito on the edge of the window on the bus.

so lame...

anyways, 3 days short weekdays, 4 days long weekend!!! woohoo!!!

i love pro D days :D

rememberance day assembly on Wednesday. My first one.

It's kinda sad when you seee the pictures of those who died during ww1 and ww2

it really makes you appreciate and think about what you are enjoying right now.

those brave soldiers sacrificed their lives in exchange for the peaceful lives we are living now.

it's scary for me to even imagine myself going through that.

the only thing i don't get is, why don't they attach a safty pin on the Poppy instead of the pin they are using now?

i lost mine while chasing for the bus. safety pins are more secure right?

i'm munching on a juicy green apple while typing with one hand, or should i say with one finger since i'm used to typing with my index fingers only.

went to metrotown @ Burnaby on thursday

Sharon wanted to go sing karaoke but since no one else is going, i rejected her as well

sorry Sharon... i promise u we ll go during spring break or winter break.

does she even know i have a blog?????

oh...whatever.

wait... ...i need to throw my apple core away...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

ok i'm back. now i have 2 index fingers to type with:D

where was i?

oh!

insert from previous topic:

i love eating sour stuff like green apples,

but dumb me just bit the inside of my mouth recently so the wound hurts right now.

end of insert.

finally bought the stuff on my list which i've been wanting to buy for many many weeks.

clothes hanger... etc.

i wanted to buy a hula hoop because apparently, i don't have a waist so i was thinking that i might get one if i hula hoop for 15mins everday. i don't know about Toys R Us but the person at Zellars told me they only sell it during summer.

WHY??? don't people hula hoop during spring, fall and winter? it's not totally an outdoor sports.

i saw a really heavy one at Krystal Mall. it's suppose to work better but i heard that those are bad for the organs near your abdomen. not sure if it's true

plus, i'm bad at sports so i guess i won't be able to take all that weight on my waistless waist.

i didn't get the case for bananas as well. they were all sold out at DollarRama.

banana cases are very useful because sometimes if i wanna bring a banana to school, i need a container to protect it from being squashed in my backpack and the container has to be long enough.

a normal sandwich container is too short and takes up lots of space in my backpack too.

i forgot to buy a ruler.

i had 3 rulers.

2 are too long for my pencil case and i ve lost the one that fits.

so i have been rulerless at school for the past few weeks.

nevermind...i found one in my mathematical instrument set.

LUNCH!!!!! Shanghai Sheng1 Jian1 Bao1

Shanghai xiao3 hun2 tun3.

the soup is like the one my grandfather cooks, just that this is saltier and the skin is not very original.

but i still had a taste of my hometown :DDDDDD

yup! that's all for today

TTFN >-<

2010-11-11T14:57:00.003+08:00

Jishu

here is a song that i really like. it's called Endless Story by Yuna Ito. It was also featured in the movie "NaNa".

here's the lyrics

If you haven't changed your mind
Sobaniitehoshiiyo tonight

Tsuyo garu kotonitsukareta no
Maboroshi sugitano everytime I think about you baby
Ima narai eru I miss you
It so hard to say I'm sorry

Tatoeba darekano tame janaku anata no tameni
Utaitai konou tawo
Owaranai story tsuzuku kono kagaya kini
Always tsutaetai zutto eien ni

Memories of our time together
Kesanaide kono mama don't go away

Atataka kutokedashite tashikameruno
Yasashi sano shizuku kono mune nihirogatteku
Setsunai hodoni I'm missin'you
Kasanetate hanasanaide

Tatoeba kanaunara mouichido anatano tameni
Utaitai konoutawo
Owaranai story taemonai aishisade
Tell me why oshieteyo zutto eien ni

Tatoeba dare kano tame janaku anatano tameni
Utaitai konoutawo
Owaranai story tsuzuku kono kagayakini
Always tsutaetai zutto eien ni
source:http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/y/yuna_ito/endless_story.html

after looking at the translation, i think this song is about a couple and one of them, either the guy or the girl (i suppose it's a girl since the singer is a female) wants their love to not end.

i am a little disappointed after looking at the translation because i really love the melody and i thought the melody sounded more like a song about dreams. maybe because i don't know much about the kind of relationship this song is talking about yet.

all in all, i still like this song a lot. it helps when it is in a language that i don't really understand because i can just make up my own meaning of it's lyrics. i will just assume that it is about dreams and goals.

i want to learn cantonese!!
somebody help me!
i'm having lunch with this bunch of Canto friends and i don't even understand what they are talking about
they all speak fluent english, yes but it just seem more natural to them to speak with friends in cantonese.
who says Cantonese and Mandarin sounds similar?
i don't even understand a speck of dust of what they are talking about
a speck of dust? oh a new phrase i just came up with even though it is grammatically wrong
hahaha
anyways...
it's ok... i still have Jayme :D
Jayme is caucasian and she doesn't speak Cantonese :DDDD
i luv u Jayme :*

2010-10-23T15:14:00.003+08:00

changed my header and background :D
i have a new 'favorite cartoon chracter'-Totoro!

check out the theme song in violin.
AWESOME!

i chose this universe background because everytime i look at it,
i just feel that i'm so insignificant.
it actually boosts my confidence though
everytime i feel lack of confidence because i'm not good at something,
i look at the picture or any picture of the universe and i 'll be thinking
about how every human being, no matter how great you are, is still just a living thing on earth
no one is better than anyone(especially when Earth dies and everyone starts to flee to Mars or whatsoever planet.)
God is the only mighty one.

by the way... that reminds me of an episode of "The Simpsons" which i ve watched a few days ago
it showed how when Earth dies, only the ones considered "useful" or are able to make contributions to the human species can take the rocket to Mars and live while the "losers" got sent to the sun.
AHHHHH! i won't be sent to the Sun right? right? Right??????
i better start sudying hard and try to make contributions so that i won't be sent to the Sun.
but before, that, my brain needs to rest, so i should go sleep now.
wait. just let me watch a few more kpop videos. :D

TTFN.

2010-10-23T14:08:00.004+08:00

this is a japanese children song which i have just learnt.
it is called Donguri koro koro (a rolling corn)
the lyrics in hiragana is:
どんぐり　ころころ　どんぶりこ
おいけ　に　はまって　さあ　たいへん
どじょうが　でてきって　こんいちわ
ぼｔちゃん　いっしょう　に　あそびましょう。

どんぐり　ころころ　よろこんで
しばらく　いっしょうに　あそんだ　が
やっぱり　お　やま　が　こいしい　と
ないて　は　どじょう　を　こまたせた。

and it translate to:
An acorn rolled down and down,
He suddenly fell into a pond.
Then came the loaches*,
Hi boy! Come play with us!

The acorn enjoyed playing with them.
But he soon began to cry,
I want to go back to the mountain.
The loaches didn't know what to do.

fall is here
getting colder everyday...

i find my psychology class really interesting even though there's lots of theory to memorise.

i learned that humans eat what they crave because their brain or more specifically, hypothalamus is telling them what the body is lacking. for example, there's this man who was lost at sea for more than 2 months and at first, he caught fishes and ate their flesh which is rich in protein and fats. but, later, he bagan craving more for fishes organs which he would usually discard because they are full of essential vitamins for survival so he ate the organs too. interesting. now that halloween is coming, i wonder why am i craving for Reese peanut butter cups?

all gone :D

later.

2) Furisode（ふりでそ）= kimonos with long sleeves, usually worn by girls who have not been married yet.

3)Haori（はおり）=men's kimono

4)Obi（おび）=the belt for kiminos

Last but not least... the 可愛上野樹里in きもの!!! :D

i'm suppose to do my home work and i am here blogging.
i really have nothing to blog about but it's just that i haven't blog for a long time so i reckon i'mma blog about something.
OH! thought of something to say!
went shopping on Saturday bought rain boots because it will be winter soon and ya know it rains a lot in the winter. don't wanna get my sneakers wet.
also bought a cross necklace from Swarovski. love it! the chain is the perfect length for me, the cross is perfect size. plus! it's under a hundred dollar!
i paid for it myself and i think maybe people who went ther either paid in big bills or use credit. so while i was walking away...i over heard the sales lady laughing athow i gave her the exact change, which was 63cents if i'm not wrong. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT!

moving on...

ok

no moving on...

no more stuff to talk about.

let me think...

... ... ... ... ... ...

OH!
HALLOWEEN!
don't know what i'll dress up as yet...

ok...
this is boring... ...

random p.s. my mum screamed at me for spending $200 on Saturday :p
money fly away :(

let's talk about how i spent my 4 day long weekend due to pro-d day and thankgiving.
Friday-practiced violin from 10.30am to 3.30pm because i didn't practise for the whole week and i had lesson later that evening. i got the timing wrong but thankfully my violin teacher was nice enough to let me off. sorry :(
Saturday-went shopping
Sunday-slept, ate, slept, ate... basically lived like a pig
Monday-continued sleeping and eating.

SO.
now comes the question.
HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO GET INTO IVY LEAGUE WHEN I'M BEHAVING LIKE THIS?
BRIBE THE PRINCIPLE (or is it princiPAL? whatever)
WELL I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY! PLUS...IT'S ILLEGAL!!!!!
DON'T WANNA END UP IN JAIL BEFORE I EVEN GET TO COLLEGE!
touch wood.

need a study plan.
QUICK!

in 5-4-3-2-1
gotta blast!

speech.
had it.
bad.
told myself "i don't wanna talk about it anymore"
and here i am talking about it.
way do i always contradict myself?
i wonder.

anyways.
1) most of the people that are running along with me have either ran before, or had been grade rep before. me? no. nothing.
2)their speeches are interesting and funny and special. me? boring.
3)eventhough they might be unconciously shaking (i saw it), but they pretended (i think) that they are not worried. (Pretend doesn't mean being fake. it's a compliment. i think that on stage, there's no use to look nervous and afraid. it is best to look calm and composed. this, i feel is definitely a part of being a good speaker or performer. )me? i almost died on stage.

what was i thinking!
i prepared my speech, felt so not confident about it, wanted to dig a hole and bury myself, shortened my speech while i was actually saying it, not what i expected, don't know what i was talking about, no reaction from audience...

if there is another election this year,
(there might be one for executives.)
I'MMA RUN AGAIN!
just to make up from that horrible speech i made.
this time, i have more experience and i'm gonna make a better speech.
not the best.
but just better.

p.s. maybe i should join some public speaking club... i don't know.

later.

2010-09-29T06:51:00.005+08:00

ok.
so it turned out that the Grade Rep speech has been postponed to tomorrow.
it's both good and bad.
the good thing is that i have one more day to do last minute practise.
the bad thing is that...ITS NOT OVER YET! i'd rather it be over and done with.
but, whatever.

strings.
i like Strings because i like classical music.
but!
the always confident me (ok...sometimes i lack confidence but not much)
tend to feel so inferior in strings.
i'm like seriously the worst player.
do you see how those people play? SO PRO!
i play violin and i've only been learning for less than 2 years while most of the violin players have been playing since really young.
to think on a positive note... ... ...
I CAN NOW DO VIBRATO!!! :D
my private violin teacher just taught me one of my favourite violin pieces: Le Cygne (The Swan) :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i've been trying to read BBC news but guess i'm just not used to it cuz
IT'S SO BORING!
it IS essential though. i don't wanna feel like an idiot when people start discussing about some world affairs which i have no clue about. i guess eventually, i'll learn to like it since the adults just can't miss one episode of the news, or a single page of the newspaper everyday.
there must be something attractive about these stuff and i'm about to find out.
muahahaha...

i refurnished my blog today!
new theme, new header, new template etc.
i realised that blogger now has some really good templates, especially their backgrounds.
i spent so mush time deciding which one to use cuz all of them are so pretty.
i used to have a black coloured backgroud so i tend to use really light n bright colour but now that the background is white, u can't see the fonts that are in yellow that clearly anymore.
oh well.. it's not a big deal cuz if i highlight the words, i can still see it clearly :D
anyway...
i don't think this is the best wallpaper for my blog, but for the really pretty backgrounds, i really have some doubts about using them because of my header. it is hard to explain but ... i don't know. i might jus change my blog's wallpaper again soon.
maybe right now?

2010-09-28T08:24:00.006+08:00

the ramyun theory:
ramyun is the name for korean instant noodle.
while i was cooking it, i realise something.
some people seem like they will succeed in life judging from their teenage years or even when they are only children. they are like ramyun that is fully cooked, put into a bowl and ready to eat.
i am definitely not that kind of person. i am lazy at times and not always that confident about myself. i am like ramyun that is only half cooked, taken out of the bowl but the noodles is still a little hard and uncooked.
to me, the bowl is like the society, and the step out of the bowl is like stepping out from school into society.
i may not be a fully cooked ramyun, but if you put me aside for a while and let the soup soak me through a little, i will be ready to eat.
eventhough i may take a little more time than the fully cooked ramyun, but eventually, i'll still get there. plus, if no one wants to eat the fully cooked ramyun, meaning there is lack of opportunity, the fully cooked ramyun will eventually turn soggy and will be less appetising.
but of course, the fully cooked ramyun was put into the bowl first, so it has more time to be exposed to opportunity (meaning being taken and eaten by someone) than the half cooked one.
so...what i am trying to say is... LYNN! DON'T LOSE FAITH! HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF AND ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT YOU WILL SUCCEED IN LIFE! :D

tomorrow, i'm giving my 1 minute Grade Rep speech i was so worried.
but now, i tell myself, it's only a minute and there had been so many people Running for Grade Rep and they gave a speech too! so why can't i do it?
YOU CAN DO IT LYNN!!!!!!

by the way... the Ramyun i had for dinner was so delicious
i love ramyun eventhough it is unhealthy :p
here's some ramyun for you. ENJOY!

i was doing my home work and then i went to the kitchen to get a cup of water.
then i found out something weird.
in school, we learn that humans need air, water and food to survive.
the most important one is air, cos we die without air in less than a minute or so. of course some people can hold their breathe longer, but i'm talking about in general.
however, i realised that we don't actually spend money n air whhen it is so important. some family do have air purifier, but in general, people don't spend money on air.
then comes water. we spend a little on the second most important thing for us humans to survive.humans can only last for 2-3 days without water. we spend a little on maybe water purifier, which not every family has and also bottled water.
last but not least, the least important out of these 3- FOOD. homans can actually survive about 2-3 weeks without food, but we actually spend the most out of the 3 on food!!!! the food industry is HUGE! not just the fast food like Macdonalds etcs, but restaurants, catering blah blah blah...
why is this so?
hmm...i wonder...

i need to get back to my home work now.
i need to hypnotise myself...
I LOVE MATH
I LOVE MATH
I LOVE MATH......

i have a sudden crave for scambled eggs. :DDDDD

yay!!!!!!!
they are not pretty but the colours i chose are quite eye catching.
all bright colours:D

2010-09-17T10:11:00.005+08:00

a picture of my boyfriend and me.

no just kidding

Zero from Vampire Knight and Yuna Kim.

Yuna Kim's really impressive.

i think her beauty is accentuated when she skates :D

wow! i used "accentuated" i'm impressed. haha

i sound like i'm really stupid but english is not my niche area so... ...

Hey! i used "niche" what's wrong with me today!!!

muahahahaha.

i seriously should speak more english at home as well.

good english is an important criteria when it comes to university admission.

i had strings.

i suggested playing the ET theme by John Williams because i heard it from my former school's string orchestra and thought it is a nice piece.

Mr Hill didn't have the score so he said we'll play Titinic theme instead and he said something like let's play Titanic since Lynn likes it.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mr Hill! it was not my idea!!!! I DID'T SAY I LIKE IT!"

(but i do like Celine Dion's version though) :D

please don't blame me if it doesn'tturn out well...cos... ...

I DIDNT SUGGEST IT!!! :(

but if it doesn't turn out well, it prolly would be because of me cos THE PEOPLE IN MY STRINGS CLASS ARE ALL CRAZY GOOD AND I'M NOT GOOD AT IT SO IT MAKES THE CONTRAST EVEN MORE OBVIOUS.

no woories...i'll get better at it soon (a msg to mom)... ...

by the way, i'm not badmouthing behind Me Hill's back because this is not a bad thing, this is just a fact, and i'm saying this openly and i don't mind Mr Hill reading it... ... if he even ever know that i have a blog :D

today's new word: prolly = a short form of probably

please don't tell me that everyone knew that ages ago.

o come on, i'm ususally slow with these new stuff ok!

by the way, Yee Ting taught me that.

she's also taught me lots of very in-terest-tingggg stuff.

i told her to teach me cantonese n she started teaching me all these swear words. hahaha

she's a natural... :DDDDD

Jap:

Wakabayashi is weirdly funny

her lessons are always interesting.

my day 2 lessons are generally more fun than day 1 lessons.

i actually reviewed my "cornell" post and how many of the rules have i stuck to?
almost NONE!
then i started laughing at myself.
this is not the first time something like that happened to me.
i need my medication!!!
this time not for being crazy but for procrastition and laziness.
i shall give myself an excuse for my laziness...
my name has a "lan4" which means lazy in mandarin.
the word in chinese characters does not mean lazy.
it actually means looking at a broad area. but it sounds the same as the word lazy
NO WONDER IM SO LAZY IT'S NOT MY FAULT, IT'S COS OF MY NAME!
good excuse:D

school started last week.
everythings fine and my electives are mostly fun
i have Community Service as one of my blocks and i really like this block
i get to pick up the phone and trasfer calls and do the easier parts of work in the office :D
"Hello! Churchill School student operator speaking, may i help you?"

i am running for Grade Rep.
i am 80% sure of that. well i signed up so there little chance of backing out
i was thinking why not? i have nothing to lose.
plus! i get to learn more about myself and develop my personality.
Student council seems really fun but i know there's lots of work to do.
i like planning and organizing events for people.
if i get to organize the school's Halloween party this year, that'll be sooo
CO-OL!

thats all for now :D
oh! by the way! i forgot to say that i went to Victoria for the summer
and it was really beautiful there.
it's even more relaxing than in Vancouver
unfortunately, i didn't get to see the whales because the trip is way too expensive plus we don't really have enough time.
Butchart Garden's firework performances are SO AWESOME!
the flowers are really pretty too, but when we went there, it was already rather dark
i believe that it would have been more beautiful, or maybe has another type of beauti in the day :D

ciao

i have for myself n i call it...
"The Path to CORNELL"

1) absolutely no youtube!!!(i go crazy n time flies once i start watching)
2)buy SATS prep books n start studying now
3)Volunteering work is IMPT
4)Jobs related to hospitality/sales and marketing is IMPT
5)STUDY HARD N ACHIEVE A GPA OF 4.0.
6)read newspaper!!
7)start exercising(tennis) to get more blood 2 ur brain n train ur stamina
8)do not sleep more than 9 hrs/day ( esp during weekends) sleeping can be a waste of time when u sleep more than ur body's needs.
9)stand in front of the mirror n repeat "i can get into Cornell" 10 times/ day
10)listen attentively in class n do ur homework on the day it's given (DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!)

let's summarise all the 10 points above:

photos taken today!

japanese rice topping!

interior in curry package

japanese curry.

i did try to make the curry n i ve added beef, tofu, carrot and celery.

it taste alright...i mean how bad can it be when you have the sauce ready-made. haha

but it kinda looked horrible so i didnt take any photos of it :D

i ll take a photo nxt time when it looks better ;)

i got like puzzle pieces... which is not what i want!!!

SURPRISE! lol

chocolate egg

Kinder Surprise comes in original package in Canada instead of the plastic package in Singapore.

i prefer the original one.

cos i fell that it's suppose to be a "CHOCOLATE EGG"

n the new version is like just some plastic in the shape of an egg.

but i have to say that Kinder Surprise is quite expensive for just an "egg" (CA$1.35 i think)

anw...

HAPPY early EASTER!!

woohoo! I LOVE HOLIDAYS! :DDDDD

but i guess nxt time i ll do it so i can get myself in the studying mode.
i'm getting a little of it now.
i hope that i dun lose the momentum n start slacking again lyk what i did in Sec 3 and 4

i had my 1st English lesson on Friday cos previously on wed, the class went on a field trip
n i couldnt go cos i was not given a consent form 2 sign...which is a little disappointing but i still have many chances.
the teacher is lyk so animated. she super duper funny. haha
which makes the whole class seem friendlier :D

TTFN !

1st day of school @ Churchill:

i got a tour around the school by a student guide.
her name is Niki.
she's quite nice n brought me around 2 my classrooms.
i had Strings 10 for 1st class.
it's quite hard 2 catch up...
i i think i'll be able 2 manage eventually,
as long as i practise.
speaking of practise...
i'm having violin lessons tmr...
but!!!
i havent finished practising the pieces that Ms Nataly assigned 2 me yet!
oh NO!

anw...
moving on...

i got a locker today.
n during lunch time, i sat in front of my locker 2 eat...
ALONE.
but i'm quite optimistic
since it's only my 1st day. i'm sure i'll be able 2 make friends l8r.
i made lyk 2 friends during strings today :D
also... during lunch, there was a grp of students sitting by their locker, opposite mine
most of them r grade 12s.
one of them came 2 talk 2 me n asked me to join them which is really nice of her.
i think she is really friendly.
she was the previous owner of my locker too...haha
but honestly, i didnt rmb her name, n most of her friends name.
i was quite nervous when she talked 2 me n my mind was lyk a little blank.
i rmb one of them is called Brittney.
i only rmb her name cos i was looking @ her Adidas jacket.
i wanted that kind of jacket...haha
but it wouldnt look good on me :D
yup...thats pretty much it.

2010-03-23T14:03:00.003+08:00

yo!
i am starting school @ Churchill tmr!!
so excited!
i'm having a violin audition tmr @ school
i'm really not confident abt taking grade 10 Strings
cos u noe my standard ... ... ...
-_-"
but i'll jus try my best...
no harm trying rite :D

TTFN!!

2010-03-22T03:28:00.003+08:00

i'm think i'll buy a kipling backpack for myself as a birthday or christmas present:D
it is under $100 so it's a little expensive...but still acceptable:i like this big one (US$82/CA$83.40)too but i already have a big laptop backpack so i guess i'm going 2 get the one that is more practicle for me. this is the medium size backpack that i'm considering VERY VERY HARD.
i already have 4 bags which is not a lot but definitely enough
but i really like to have a Kipling backpack!
this one is US$64 which will be about CA$65.

recently, i discovered these famous headphones called "Beats by Dr. Dre"

they look really cool but they cost al least 200++

so i'm definately not even considering buying them

i am only gonna look n admire them from far, n imagine myself wearing them

i love the blue one in the first pic :D

they look super comfy when wearing n they fold by the side.

talking about these actually help 2 suppress my temptation to buy them :D

i cnt be so extravagant!!!

2010-03-17T09:15:00.005+08:00

some of the other photos taken during CNY @ Shanghai

one of the bedrooms in the suite.

all thx 2 my aunt.

the beautiful chandelier

mum playing with my baby cousin.

my poor cousin...why did she have 2 b tortured lyk that @ such a young age?

haha

in the suite. the staircase leads up 2 the second floor which contains 3 big bedrooms

in one of the bedrooms, there is a bathroom which is super big as well.
but the hotel is located @ the country side so the suite is relatively not as expensive.

but i dun understand y such a hotel is located there.

folks @ the automatic mahjong table in the suite

here's the 4 of us in front of the China pavilion.

tmr, i'll 2 having my 1st violin lesson in Canada.

my poor violin ...which i've left untouched for almost a year now,

desperately needs tuning.

i hope that i can learn vibrato and tuning soon. :D

excited 2 meet my yeacher for the 1st time, though we've spoken on the phone.

recently, i tried shooping on ebay n bought some stuff

but in the end i've decided not 2 shop online any more...@ least for now

bcos...

1)i am more impulsive, bcos buying is jus a click awa.

2)the things i bought is taking too long 2 arrive

3)...??

i guess some things r better bought online while others r not. :D

that's all 4 now...

chaos~~

2010-03-02T12:12:00.002+08:00

i wanted 2 upload more photoos
but everytime i tried 2 upload many photos @ 1 go,
blogger ll become retarded...
so i think i ll try again nxt time :D

btw... i jus found out that the internet is not working 4 my dad's comp now.
but this time...i think is the broadband's problem.

2010-03-02T11:53:00.005+08:00

hahaha
these 3 poor pork cocktails.
we wanted 2 heat them in the microwave but we set the time 4 too long.HAHA
my cousin n i were laughing lyk mad.
the moral of this story: do not over cook ur food in the microwave ;)

my counsin n i insisted on having instant noodle for dinner
n grandma was lyk "u 2 r mad! we hav so many dishes n u wanna eat instant noodle!"

my cousin can't take spicy food

COUSIN! liuhuanli

a tree standing strong in the cold winter.

how inspirational...
hohoho.

2010-03-02T11:41:00.006+08:00

the food court in the Oakridge mall

Terriyaki chicken n coke.

things r quite expensive in Canada

high living standards i guess :D

this is the most possible school that im gg 2.

Churchill Secondary School.

there is a video that i saw recently on youtube that happened in

churchill HIGH school which is also in Canada but in a diff state.

the video recieved many negative comments cos it was considered inappropriate for high school students.

so these 2 schools r absolutely 2 diff schools.

btw...the principal of Vancouver School Board(VSB)

is overseas n will only b back tmr...

n since he is the one who make contacts wif the school n do all the decision stuff...
i ll still be school-free for a few more days i guess.

a flower that i plucked...haha

it's quite pretty. idk what it's called in english but in mandrin...it's called

mei2 hua1

snsd-Oh!

2010-03-02T11:03:00.004+08:00

after so many attempts...
my comp's is finally working
WOOHOO!!!
so what was the prob?

in SGP, we use the telephone line 2 connect 2 comp
but in Canada,
u use the tv cable.
my comp was automatically set 2 the telephone line cable so it didnt work.
we spent lyk $25 4 the person 2 help us change the setting.
waaaahhhhhhhh~~~
money fly away...AGAIN
i realised that my parents dun use much $$$!
ever since i have 2 Canada, my dad have been using so much more $$$ then he did.
so im the CULPRIT!

but stilll...
i am so glad that they fixed my comp!!!

these few days,

i ve been so hooked to snsd's new song-Oh!

it's so catchy n i was so bored that i went 2 learn the dance
i think i'm almost half way there...hahaha

2010-02-23T01:45:00.002+08:00

i cant upload phtos for now bcos i dunno y...
my dad's laptop has problem linking wif my phone
so i ll have to wait till my dad finds a cable to link my laptop to the modem...
waaaaahhhhhh~~~!!

2010-02-23T01:36:00.008+08:00

OH NO!
how can i forget abt this!!!
on the 6th day of CNY, I went to the Shanghai expo thingy!!!
i went wif LiuHuanLi, aunt Yao, Ben n YaoChengYun.
We saw many pavilions(have i spelt it correctly?)
it was so COOL!
it is not opened to the public yet cos the cobstructions r not done yet.
but my aunt Yao is part of the construction team (btw...she is not a construction worker...i suppose she is an engineer)
so she has this SPECIAL pass to allow us in.
wow! i feel so SPECIAL now. hohoho
we took many photos
however, i heard from my aunt that the constructions mite not meet the deadline!!!
Ah!!!!
so disappointing!

ok... now i'm gg 2 try n upload some photos.
chaos :D

2010-02-22T04:11:00.010+08:00

CNY IN SHANGHAI:
after a 5 hours flight
I reached grandma's hse on chinese new yr eve
n we had The Reunion Dinner tgt wif abt 10-20 of my other relatives
one of them is my cute little baby cousin-NiNi
she turns 3 this yr.

i really had fun wif my cousins
1-Liu Huan Li, who is also my BFF.
she is lyk a younger sister to me n we are very close since young
2-Shi Yu Zhe, his nickname is DouDou n he calls me dinasaur...wth...
but he isreally fun to play wif n he taught me how to play mahjong...
though im not very good @ it.
3-Wu Wen Tian, nicknamed DuDu. He always acts dumb but he is actually quite smart. his silly expressions were priceless...lol
4-Yao Cheng Yun, he rarely talks. i think he just lyks to act cool...haha. n maybe he is just shy??? but he's good friends wif DuDu.

i made a new friend called Benjamin Jacobs! he is from the US. he is here for the "CIEE Gap Year Abroad program" n he lives with my aunt Yao's family(Yao Cheng Yun's mum)

Days of CNY:
1st day-we stayed @ this hotel suite that my aunt Yao booked.
the suite was HUGE!
there are 2 floors, 3 bedrooms n 4 toilets!
there was a living room n beside it,there was an automatic mahjong table.
LiuHuanLi, DouDou, Ben n I played cards while the "senior citizens" played mahjong.
at nite, we lite some fireworks n fire crackers.
i had a little phobia after being hit on the face by the sparks of the fire cracker.

2nd day-we had buffet for breakfast. n played mahjong.
i'm so addicted to the game now.
l8r that day, my cousins, Ben and I went to an orphange for the disabled with aunt n uncle Yao
we bought some food n stationaries for them.
as compared to them, we r really very fortunate.
they are not only disabled (most of them are mentally disabled)
they are also abandoned by their parents.
they r all from poor families n i realised that there are more famales than males
bcos boys r usually needed for labour in the their families' farms
one of the girls is visually disabled but she can sing really really well.

we had "lunner"(lunch+dinner) @ one of our relative's hse
n we played truth or dare.
then we went back to my grandma's hse
we played hide n seek...haha
it was sort of childish but loads of fun too!!!
Ben, DuDu n I hid in a built in cabinet n DouDou spent a loooong time finding us
bcos the cabinet was at the upper part of the wall n u ll have to climb up to get into it
so he did not think that we would hide in it.
we r so pro rite!! hohoho
we played cards after the hide n seek game cos we were scolded by my grandma for dirtying her blankets in the cabinet since we wore our slippers into it. haha

3rd day-LiuHuanLi, DouDou n i played soccer wif a basketball cos there was little air in the basketball so it doesnt bounce...muahahaha.
l8r, I went to a park with aunt and uncle Yao, my cousins and Ben.
we rode "quad-cycles" n played go-carts. the go-cart was quite thrilling.
DouDou and Ben had a race n they rode @ full speed.
when i say full speed, i really mean FULL SPEED.
DouDou said he didnt release the acceleraton pedal till the end.
I also told them that I didnt release the break till the end. hahaha

4th day-rest

5th day-went shopping wif grandma, mum n uncle(mum's brother)
bought lots of stuff @ Uniqlo...AGAIN.
i dunno y, every time i go to Uniqlo, i will buy lots of stuff...
n of course...spend lots of $$$
AH!!! i feel so guity.
money fly away...

6th day- rest n did some hm wk for LiuHuanLi.
haha. she was left wif more than half of her holiday homework although it was alr the 2nd last day of her school holidays. haha
(heard that she l8r got scolded by her mum)
lol :D

7th day-went strollng with LiuHuanLi, haha... n
took some random photos.
reach Vancouver @ around 1pm (canada time)

the end.

2010-02-22T04:00:00.002+08:00

yo! people!

the weathers fine today n ytd.
it was raining almost everyday when i was here the last time.
i was so bored i started reading thru my previous posts n i couldnt stop laughing at myself

i didnt eat dinner ytd so i was super hungry this morning...
my stomach was growling so i woke up @ around 3am but thot it was too early for breakfast
i tried to go back to sleep but was too hungry

so i decided to look @ the photos i took with my phone.
they really brought back much memories when i was in Singapore n Shanghai

You Are 40% Left Brained, 60% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.
Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are
You Right or Left Brained?

Lets101 - Free Online Dating

2008-07-27T17:27:00.000+08:00

This is for my people who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
It's something more than saying "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[Chorus]

(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandfather
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

[Chorus]
