Let's Meet

2011-06-20T01:12:00.002+08:00

I don't know why every time when someone asks what I'm stressed about, the first thing they mention is student council. To me, honestly, I feel that council doesn't adds on any stress at all. It's funny you know. People get really shocked when I actually told them that, but that's just being honest.
To be frank, my greatest obstacle is my academics. It feels really tough this year. Like when I used to be in the forth class, everything was at my pace, slow and steady. The environment there was not too bad under Ms Wong's control. Everything just fell in place nicely. I had a good Science teacher, English teacher, Maths teacher and so on. Everything except Home Econs. We had three replacements within half a year. Okay, getting off track. So in the second class, lessons were like thrice the speed, thrice the homework everyday. Sounds great, huh? ._.
I used to enjoy doing homework last year cause it was as easy as a piece of cake. But this year is really different, cross my heart. I'm still trying to adapt (I know I'm slow). Well, my equation for myself is:

Stressed + Shag = Sick, sick and sick

Shag is because of the numerous training for SYF every week. The instructors really drill us like there's no tomorrow. To sidetrack a little further, I've never continuously did my homework till 2AM everyday.

PS: I really missed how you made me think so deeply.

It Was All In The Past

2011-06-15T11:08:00.000+08:00

It's interesting to know how to human mind works. Well, I wished that I knew... I've been pretty messed up this year. Falling sick, stressed and everything. I do my best in handling emotions so that it won't interfere in anything but it doesn't seem to work. You know how goths work right? They put on thick make up and dress in black laced stuff, looking so conservative. This is to just hide what they feel. I don't work that way. I'm more towards using my 'fake' emotions to cover over what I feel. I don't know why but I'm acting differently recently. I feel that I'm starting to have the bad habits that I used to have again. I've been quite harsh with my words lately and I'm sorry if I've hurt any of you. I really have to thank my friends for understanding what I am and I've been going through.
Friends can be split into 2 categories; good and bad. The good ones are usually those who stick with you through thin and thick. And well, of course, the bad ones are those who try to sabotage you. Some people change for the better, but unfortunately, some don't. Some are two-faced and some are not. Well, if we're all close friends, shouldn't we share our problems with one another and try to resolve them together? I've been confiding in a good friend of mine and he's also my 'gan-didi'. The only thing that I was upset about was that he used to confide in me his problems but now I feel that he's toying with me. He seeks for help from me and after I've done that, he doesn't care about my existence. Why is it that among close friends must there always be someone telling you, "hey, you don't know the whole story"? Why is there always some people keeping things from you when you've never betrayed their trust and always there to give a listening ear? Perhaps I don't belong there. Is it just me or am I too sensitive? But what I am really sure of is that there are people who think they are in higher authority and able to control the others. I'm disappointed in that, for sure.

It's my birthday today... but I'm at home... all alone.

Bubbly

2011-03-29T10:02:00.001+08:00

It's really a tough year this year. So many changes that I've to learn to adapt to. I'm on MC for 2 days (that explains why I'm blogging now). Drama's SYF is tomorrow, Band on 11/4, Choir on 15/4 and Dance on 21/4 (I think so). I can feel the weight on my shoulders. Don't you find it refreshing when you wake up realising that everything is so perfect? Haven't felt that in quite awhile :/
My head's pounding badly :(

A sweet song for today: Bubbly - Colbie Caillat

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglees in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just, mmm

It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I?ve been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin' shows
'Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, where ever you go
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go

Went for a camp for 2 days. Someone told my group that life is like a seesaw, there will always be ups and downs. I don't know why but it kept replaying in my head and I kept thinking about it. I think it's a fact that there are ups and downs in life, it's a matter of balancing. Everything we did during the camp was focused on our core values like integrity and some others which are not part of our core values, communication skills and having faith in whoever that's leading. I think it was really well-done. Good job to the sec 4 seniors and also our super seniors who graduated last year! :)
I enjoyed the night games and the afternoon games (both days), was it just awesome or was it just too awesome? :D
Think I really learned a lot of things there even if it was just 2 (pretty intensive) days.

After knowing how nice the seniors actually are, I thought that maybe spending some quality time with them before they step down would be nice. Speaking of which, I kind of dread of the day where they'll have to step down. Thank you seniors, you guys really put in a lot of effort for us :)
They may not be reading it, but I'd still like to credit them :)

PS: I like the cat at the Labrador campsite! The cat was really friendly :) It doesn't bite or claw me when I carried it (when it was at our dorm's doorstep) or when I tickled it. I'm starting to miss you kitty, meow meow.

PSS: I know I haven't been posting for coming to a month. I was extremely busy lately, really!

HELLO! :)

Lots of tests this week :C Intensive choir training is going to begin! Extended lessons will be on every Friday. Which means 5 E/A Maths lessons in one day.

I wouldn't want to emphasize on how much work there is this year cause I know the other level, sec 4s, are having a lot more.

Hahahaha. For some reason, people are very excited about valentines day. Especially my batch! I received quite a number of presents though :P

Not exactly in the pink of health now. Been sick for a week! Boohoo... That's that for now. I'll update more when I'm free!

You had me at 'hello' and lost me at 'goodbye'.

Speak Now

2011-02-12T20:42:00.000+08:00

This is so pretty!

Taylor Swift's concert was on 9/2! My brother went and got me guitar picks! :D I'm so not going to use them. TaylorSwiftisjustsoawesome!

Just came home from CIP(s). Had flag day in the morning and then Heartspring CIP (block party). :)
Ying was my partner and we took care of an elderly. She's so strong and fit! :)
I learned life-long values through this event. I'll never forget this day.
She even asked us to remember her unit number so that we can visit her when we're free!
Also, she brought us in to see her cat :)
She's a nice lady and she made me realise that even regardless of our age, we need not always be dependent on others. She taught me to see things from another perspective. I hope to see her soon again!

Flag day was tiring. I collected an estimated amount of $71 at Tampines. It's very fun cause Ying and I bonded together the whole day together :)
Went to Ying's house after flag day. She lives in the condominium near the school. Yes, the blue one. Her block is called Eugenia. I said I wanted to sleep after flag day cause I felt pretty tired but once Ying took her iTouch out, I got addicted to the games and didn't sleep. Stupid me, I felt tired during the block party later on. But it's okay. I regained my energy upon interacting with the elderly. She reminds me of my grandmother and how my grandma would get on with age in future. I really miss her... Anyway, I spoke a lot to them and they were all awesome people :) She was really thankful and grateful to us for bringing joy to her today. Hope to see them soon! :)

My throat is getting worse, I keep coughing and I don't have the appetite to eat at all. My mum says that my eye bags are getting more obvious ... :/

Swallow Your Pride And Live

2011-01-27T21:35:00.000+08:00

JUST LOOK AT THAT! :D

I was telling Shaun that he looked like Hitler. He really went to look up on Hitler's details. Hahahaha! Even monitor (Lin Jun) and GL agrees with me :D Anyway, a lot of homework recently. *Gasp!

I'm really tired, yet I don't look forward to the weekends. I really don't like mopping the floor :/ But it's a daily routine...Oh well...

I'll not be in Singapore during the Chinese New Year Celebration in school. Boohoo :(
I want to spend quality time with my new class. I'll be missing out on a lot of things. I don't know what else I can do in Malaysia. My relatives will be over to their in-laws' place and only coming to my grandmother's place on the second day of CNY. I'll be staying over till Saturday. I really dread going over to Malaysia now. (You'll understand if you have been actively reading my posts)

Meanwhile

2011-01-18T21:14:00.004+08:00

HELLO.

Ouchhhh. I'm so tired. I had sore eyes and really obvious eye bags yesterday. Thankfully Gillian brought eye mo and Lim Ying helped me to apply it. Let's just call her Ying! I like it. Everyone asked if I suffered from insomnia. Geez. Bascially I'm getting along with my class pretty well and teachers are loading us with homework like nobody's business. Guess what? This is just the beginning of the year. Isn't that just great...? -_-

The important contents in Jazreel's wallet were missing. Like EZlink card. I shall pray hard that she gets her money and EZlink card back. Students are getting more daring these days. They do outrageous things like stealing. :C Anyway I strongly believe what goes around, comes around. So... I've got your back, Jaz! :D

Since I'm so tied down to homework, I don't even have time to stare into space. Sorting out my thoughts straight cause I don't want to feel so bad like last year :(

It's really a scary year. When the teachers say that they'll punish you if you're unable to complete their work, they mean it. That's what I witnessed in my class ; those who were being punished for SS today.

Not referring to myself.

I'm expecting a class (F2-4) outing soon!

In the meanwhile the air is
filling with the perfume of promise

Hello.

Sorry for not updating for such a long time. Really very busy and tied down with homework. Such a hectic week and I'm glad that it's finally Friday, a good day to rest and catch up on my sleep. I'm really tired and still on the verge of adapting to the new timetable. I'm a busy woman/girl now. Running errands everywhere but still manageable. I'm mentally tired and not physically. I feel that it's different in sec3, very different as compared to the last two years. SYF is coming. At this rate, we're so going to clinch a COP. Oh, and there will be choir camp! Finally! Woohoo! I can't find a perfect word to describe how fatigue I'm feeling. I feel relatively happy that it's Friday and I don't have an explanation for it. The whole school's preparing for tomorrow's CCA Fair. It's going to be havoc tomorrow, let's pray that choir doesn't screw up this performance. Jiayou! :)

Right Round

2011-01-07T22:48:00.000+08:00

Camped for three days and two nights. My trainers were Sab and Ash. :D

I feel very left out in this class cause most of them came from F2-3 so they're already in their own cliques and I'm the only girl from F2-4 so it turned out to be something unexpected. It's difficult to settle down so quickly and adapt to it. Think everyone has their own obstacles and troubles to overcome. I feel very sensitive about the issue of being accepted. It's really a whole new world. It really pains me so much to reflect on how delighted I was everyday to see my friends in F2-4 but definitely miseries now. When Lovevin called upon my name across the canteen, it made me feel so happy because at least I know I still have friends, well, good friends, who cares so much about me. Within that split second, I started reminiscing and had flashbacks about my past two years, how sociable my classmates were and most importantly, how much I loved my class. I don't really bother how negatively the word spreads in the staff room cause all I know is that we have the 'one-for-all-and-all-for-one' spirit. I love F2-4'10 so much that it keeps wielding me to the past.

Honestly, deep down from my heart, I literally miss F2-4'10.

"You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you."

-Kahlil Gibran

In time to come, it'll be my graduation year and then 'O' Levels. I can't believe how fast I'm aging. The bond is unbreakable by the curse of time ; KM, GL, KL, Jessie, Simon, Shaun, WX, WZ, JiaNi and Camellia.

To let this be our last goodbye.

One In A Million

2010-12-31T12:05:00.002+08:00

Went KLP to bowl with KL, Jessie, Regine and GL. I'm the pathetic of the pathetic(s). :X

Left for NEX with GL and window-shopped. We didn't wish to buy anything on impulse.

Last day of 2010.

365¼ days. 8766 hours. 525960 seconds.

It's a mixture of feelings to learn how fast time really flies, be it feeling shocked, elated, confused or even upset. I can't believe I'm 15 next year, neither can I believe that 'O's are less than 2 years. A whole new world. There are so many people who I would like to show my gratitude to so many people, but for this particular person, I have to publicize it. She has been helping me all along and giving me opportunities to shine as she doesn't want me to keep doing the backstage work. Like another mother to me, she protects and cares for me, listens to my opinions and accepts me for who I am. Even at times, she's a counsellor to me. Most importantly, she seeks the best interest for me. She's none other than my FT of 2010. I really can't thank her enough as she really walked through the tough times with me, catch me when I fall and tells me that I'm not the only one because she'll be holding onto my hand no matter how difficult things get. She really did. What I am today and what I've achieved is because of what she has mould me to become. I'm really too blessed. The path was quite unstable but she was there with me :)

Thank you so much.

2010 has been a fruitful year for me. I really hope that I can devote time for voluntary work next year no matter how busy I'll be to bless the others within my abilities.

When Your Heart's Under Attack

2010-12-27T20:06:00.005+08:00

Jackpot.
I literally told myself that I'll forget and forgive whatever you've done to me, the way you treated me. I said that I'll let it all go, put aside the past and move on and enjoy the trip in Malaysia. But why do you have to humiliate, hurt and despise me time and again? Why do you always have to make me cry each time I visit grandma? What have I done to you for you to treat me like this? No matter how you've hurt my pride, how you've humiliated me, how much you despise me, I've never retaliated but that doesn't mean that I'm easy to bully/abuse. You're so different from second aunt! At least she treats me with respect and the thing I love about her is that she treats me like her own daughter. As the saying goes, "Walls have ears". I know that I'm not a perfectionist and that I've flaws just like everyone else, which gives you a reason to gossip about my flaws. You got it jackpot this time. Your words hit straight into my heart, you've pierced it and it is bleeding profusely. You knock me down real hard this time.You complain that others do not treat you well, that's because you don't treat others the way you want to be treated! As simple as that. I'm not a robot, I've feelings too. I've always looked up to you as a great person since I was young because you've always treated my brother and I with care and concern. Now, I strongly believe that I was naive in the past. I've always attended to your needs, like babysitting your children while you're talking, making sure they drink sufficient amount of water and, here's the best part, being forced to listen to you gossiping about others, or rather, exaggerating things. I don't know if that's your flaw or your capability, that is to exaggerate things to the very extreme like in drama serials.
I honestly don't understand why you have to hurt me like this. No matter how I try put on a strong front, you'll still successfully make me sob, weep, cry silently and painfully. Just like how granite can crack a windscreen. No, I can't stay on like this forever. I'm going to stand up for myself from now on for the sake of righteousness, I'm not going to just stand aside and watch how you discriminate others. I cannot stand injustice. Does it really pain you not to hurt someone? I know I'm not your first target because you've spoke ill of my mum, dad, grandma, my aunts and my uncle. I've set my objectives right this time. I'm there to visit my grandmother and not to listen to you blabber. I'm really worried for your children. They mean so much to me that I've to start educating them in the right way and lead them through the right footsteps. Each time I'm asked to share my saddest moment in life, I'll cover up certain parts of the story in other for it not to sound so bad. This is the most I can do to save you the humiliation but each time I do so, you just make me feel as if I didn't want to be born. I take words from my elders very seriously (except when they joke). Your words weigh a ton. I'm really upset. I've never felt so bad till I came to learn about this. I'm utterly disappointed in you. No point holding grudges, so I'll let it go this time because I still love and respect you as my aunt.

Went for Christmas Carol on Monday at Dover Park Hospice! :) We are really fortunate not to be wheelchair bound or having to go through dialysis and so on. It's a very depressing place indeed as you can see the visitors of patients weep in silence.
Baking at XiuPing's house. We baked adorable cookies in a variety of shapes and sizes. The aroma filled the house. Met up with KM, Shaun and JJ. Had dinner and 'Christmas-Exchange' at Burger King in Orchard Ion. We set off for CCIS in Orchard near Wisma Atria. The decorations were beautiful, so were the lighting(s). The performance exceeded my expectations so it's really good, I would say. Though it started pouring halfway through, Cindy and KM brought their umbrellas (I left mine in my Crumpler bag... :( ) so the guys had one to themselves and the other 4 of us, Cindy, Desrie, KM and I shared an umbrella :) We are loyal and faithful supporters! :X Thank you KM for the Tigger, it's really cute!
Sec 1 Registration rehearsal and the actual thing which was held on Wednesday and Thursday (today). We went to Mandy's house for the preparation for the presentation on Wednesday. It's really fun and I believe that I understand her better now :) Really a busy day today. Had to arrive in school by 7AM to prepare and surprisingly, there were parents who arrived at 7.30AM with their child. My partner/senior was Joanne so this was how we divided our work, initially, Joanne was supposed to serve drinks while I'll do the 'Calendar Cards' and the distribution of folders. It was too much to cope so she had to do the 'Calendar Cards' and the drinks while I did the distribution of folders, explaining, find the (green) forms and booklist and entertain queries. That's a handful, but it was not bad, I realised I could multi-task. :X When the parents flooded in, it was really a challenge for us. It's 2 people to 3 teachers and a sea of parents. So I made my explanation short and sweet and the cycle repeated until the last group of people came. Phew. Hung out with FL, Faith, Alson (Soh) and En Chang :) It's like the first time.

Like caffeine in coffee, it's addictive and keeps you wide awake.

That's the reason why I don't really like coffee.

Yew Ming

One of the Koi from Fullerton Hotel.

These Koi(s) are friendly!

The miniature version of the Merlion.

I rushed out of the house all the way to Harbourfront station without lunch, thinking that my brother would be there on time. Instead, I had to wait for 15 minutes. Went to the Harbourfront Centre which was just opposite VivoCity.
The first thing they requested for was to see the Merlion. So it was quite a long walk to the Singapore River and we sort of walked the outskirts of it.
Will be seeing them again next week during Christmas. :)

Lavie and Cathryn

Lavie!

Lavie and Hui Ying

The play mat!

Kathy and Lavie playing with this Lego.

Lavie!

Kathy (red) and Lavie (pink)

Hahaha, as you know, my love for kids is unmeasurable.

We went to Auntie Irene's house to babysit the three kids, namely Jodie (7), Kathy (5), Lavie (1)! :)

Hui Ying left halfway through cause she had to go for a meeting so I had to take care of Lavie, the youngest! She's cute really. She took a very long time to warm up to us. She's very independent and at certain times, a tough nut to crack, even though she's only 1 year old. When she got used to my presence around her, she started playing the fool with me :P

Her famous quotes are, "No!" and "Again!". She's so adorable! Big puppy eyes, thin lips and tender skin. Even the strongest man has his own weakness. She's afraid of the strong wind. She hugged me really tight when the wind blew then hopped to RuiXin, and lastly MeiYin. Hee... her hugs are really comfortable. She'll grip onto you real tight. I really sound like a pedophile, but I'm not. Gee. I'd really want to babysit her (& them) again. Though it's quite tiring but it's really fun and pleasing, especially when you babysit Lavie. She's so active and you got to chase after her around the playground now and then. Follow her everywhere she goes, make sure that she's doing the right thing, ensure that she's safe, make her happy, play with her and many more. These are just a few points but it shows me how to be a more responsible person and that someone's life is in your hands. Being a responsible person is extremely important cause I'll have to be responsible for any injuries or whatsoever. To take ownership, remember? :) Most importantly, she brought smiles to my face every now and then. When I reflect, there are many valuable lessons that I've learned through this babysitting experience. Ownership, responsibility, compassion, understanding, tolerance and many more. On that day itself, after chasing Lavie around the playground, I felt a tinge of tiredness but still persisted on when we returned to play with the kids in Auntie Irene's house. This is part of tolerance.

Met up with LLY, Xin Er and WZ yesterday :D
I miss her so much :(
Meeting them again next week!
We went to City Square Mall to shop.
Though I go there quite frequently, I still like it there cause it's not crowded like NEX. (Serangoon's new mall)
I didn't really expect to arrive Serangoon MRT Station so early so I went to NEX to walk awhile.
The products being sold are more for the working-class people. I can't wait for the theater in NEX! :D
Alright, getting back to the topic, there was this particular part of the day which was so funny that I will be able to remember for the next few days. WZ asked us to buy Old Chang Kee just to get that $6 worth of watch.
It's just her luck that they didn't have size S for her.
Bought some snacks for my relatives who'll be coming on Wednesday.

We found a good place to sit and chat. We were like some aunties talking for about 2 hours. So many things to catch up... I miss LLY so much :(

This was what I saw which brought back my childhood memories:

(I made this effect using my handphone cause old pictures are suppose to look a little vintage right?)

My relatives will be dropping by Singapore by cruise tomorrow around 1PM. My brother will be taking a half-day leave to be their tour guide and I'll be tagging along cause my Mum wanted me to go.

I'll not be spending Christmas in Singapore this year cause I'll be going Malaysia. Will be leaving on the day Christmas arrives.

Do any of you want anything from Malaysia? Just leave it on my tagboard before Christmas Eve and I'll do my best to get it. Take it as a Christmas present from me.

I like 'Kiss The Rain' and 'River Flows In You' by Yiruma. He's a great pianist :)

Say It Once, Say It Twice

2010-12-10T10:02:00.002+08:00

Had fever, sore throat and flu yesterday :(
Both my dad and my brother said that I was running a high fever but I felt really cold.
Usually when I've fever, it comes together with headache. But not this time.
As compared to the other time I fell ill, I've the best appetite this time.
When I was walking down the staircase at home, everything around me was spinning.
I slept for 18 hours in total yesterday but still felt the same.
My eyeballs hurt a little now. I can't even look to the corner of my eyes nor look up.
It's better for me to close my eyes and sleep then :D

Ate two sausages and one egg for breakfast yesterday morning, fishball noodles for lunch and grapes and banana for dinner. :)
That's that. Going to sleep soon. The medication left me groggy...

Chan Kah Min ; My beloved piggy/BFF

The happiest day of my life with you was the day we went to your house to make our own sushi. Cause all I remembered was that you told me you wanted to experience both sides but in the end, you're still here with me. I know you're going to be in the same class as her next year, but that's alright, I'm cool with it. Perhaps it's a test to see if you're easily influenced. I'm prepared for the worst. If that's going to happen, we'll all be back to square one, always avoiding each other. Who knows what will ever happen? Though people always assume that they wouldn't do certain things, in the end, they still did. As a matter of fact, assurance won't work on me this time. Still, I'll be there to pick you up if you fall. That's how much I'd go for our friendship. You know I can't possibly say all these in front of you cause I'm already having goosebumps and recently, that's what is at the back of my mind.

Lim Geek Lan ; BFF

It's your turn! :) I have no idea why, but we always seem to be in the same boat so sharing things with you is always so much easier. Like you've always understood how I felt and the assurance you've given me which makes me feel rather secure. I think the best times we had together was when we were in Bintan. I believe you agree so too! I just realised that I've yet to show you the messages :( Sorry sorry sorry! It's the 8th year I've known you already :D Rejoice!

Sim Wan Zhen ; Strawberry!

HAHAHAHA. I bet you didn't think that I'd write this to you. :D Heeheee.. I think we're considered quite close already :) We're even going City Square Mall next Monday~! I've done the weirdest things with you that I've never done before. I can't really remember cause there's too many to recall. It's always fun having you around cause you'll always crack cold and silly jokes. Emphasize on cold. :X But it's so fun during NE workshop. Not that the workshop was extremely fun, just that we were the three musketeers :D It's not going to be fun without KM, GL, JiaNi and you next year :( Only 5 people from our class in F3-2 ; Justin, Shaun, Ivan, YJJ and me :( Eeeks. Can't imagine how it's going to be like. I literally feel like banging the wall. Unlike me, you still have GL! :C

Lee Jia Ni

There's no one to do the tagline with me in future :( No one to high with me anymore :( I'll miss you lots and lots and...LOTS.

Poh Keng Ling ; PKL

KL! :) Hee... You really helped me a lot through this year. Very gutsy and I admire you for that cause you'll usually pose a question on my behalf which equates to clearing my doubts so I really have to thank you loads for that. I believe you know I get super duper, ultra emotional at a certain point in life. A very significant person to me cause you'd hug me when I cry and go crazy with me when I'm hyper. So I wish you luck in your future endeavours :)

If Perfect Is What You're Searching For Then Just Stay The Same

Uncle's Housewarming (Ex-Sims Drive Neighbour)

Honestly, I miss Uncle, Auntie, Wei Quan Kor Kor, Wei Ji Kor Kor and Ting Ting Jie Jie a lot. :(
Wei Quan Kor Kor says he still remembered he brought me down to the playground each time I cried. Hahaha. I feel that we're now strangely distant with each other... :(
Hope to visit them more often and at the same time can visit Simon! Hahahaha. Both of their blocks are just opposite one another. One 39A and the other 38C.

Simon's Housewarming

Though we're of different genders, we still make great friends! :) I hope that this friendship would last really long, or rather forever.

Band Concert

Live Like It's Your Last Day

2010-11-28T23:19:00.002+08:00

HELLO.

Just a short one.
So many things to look forward to this coming week!
A surprise for 'Mummy' (KWee) on Wednesday.
Band Concert on Friday, can't wait to see piglet play her trumpet. :)
Simon's housewarming cum ECP on Saturday!
Not too sure about Saturday cause I've been going out consecutively...

Trying to find the exact film for my Daddy's polaroid camera in which he bought almost 20 years ago in England!
So exciting! Maybe I'm too easily contented or something. :X

These few days have been a good one to actually straighten my thoughts and set me thinking.
Went to help out at the Hospital today. Serve food, feed them and all that. So fun :)
The uncles there are really friendly. The full diet patients will have egg tarts while the soft diet patients will have peanut paste. So happy, let's commemorate my fourth year volunteering there! :) Unfortunately, I won't be able to join them for Christmas Party cause we'll be going Malaysia :(
You know what actually happened during my stay there last year, right guys? :(
Losing feels like a fertiliser, first it stinks, then you get used to it.
My only objective to go there is to visit my grandmother, cousins and perhaps relatives.
If doing what is good was as easy as knowing what is good, there wouldn't be any evil deeds in this world.
This is exactly how I feel right now. Though many of you may see it from different perspectives.

My Immortal

2010-11-26T14:51:00.002+08:00

I love the fireworks in Bintan! :)

December's going to be another busy month for me.
Realising how time flies, how many books I have to buy, how many new uniforms I have to buy (Not enough white collar shirt :C ), how rush things get to the extend that I barely have enough time for myself (suffocating!), how many housework left undone.
It's going to be the end of holidays in no time and then CCA day for Sec 1s followed by CNY, SYF and so on.

Upcoming events:
3/12/10 - Band Concert
4/12/10 - Simon's housewarming cum ECP
8/12/10 (Tentative) - Watching Rapunzel 2D
16/12/10 - Choir and buying school uniform (perhaps books too but most likely buying from Popular)
17/12/10 - Choir
20/12/10 - Caroling
23/12/10 - Sec 1 Registration (I'm assigned to F1-4 :P )
25/12/10 - Christmas Celebration
28/12/10 - Choir
29/12/10 - AGM & Choir (I think so)

I still can't let go of F2-4. I don't know how my attachment and feelings towards this class grew so deeply, but what's it going to be like next year? How is it going to feel like being separated from piggy, GL, JiaNi, 'Mummy'(KWee), 'Daddy' (KWong), Sister(s) and clique? :(

I love you guys

Spirit To Live

2010-11-22T22:21:00.000+08:00

HELLO.

Bintan trip was fun actually, just that I didn't really participate much cause I don't really have any ideas like for the cheers and all that, no matter how I struggle to rack my brains.

Day 1, 19/11/10

Not much actually, just some icebreaker games with the sec 1s, roller blading and a little interaction. Camped in school. I felt really 'high' at night during the Bahasa lesson. It feels a little like alien language to me cause when I tried to pronounce it, it's a little too off the tune if you get what I mean. Devotions was great! 'Spirit Touch Your Church'! My favourite! The guitar version.

Day 2, 20/11/10

Amazing race planned by the trainers. I think this activity was the one that really bonded us together. I was really shag that day and sleepy as well :X
Dinner was interesting. Ate at Pasar Oleh Oleh. Ten people per table. So all the girls sat at one table and the guys, another table. The other groups had a mixture of guys and girls so we're...unique!
As expected, we couldn't finish our dishes and passed to Jenna (Chew)'s group. :)
RuiLin tried to break the silence but to no avail. Let's just paint it in a positive light, we were minding our table manners. Having an etiquette here! Hahaha.

Day 3, 21/11/10

Orphanage! YES YES YES! KIDS! :D
As you know, I love kids a lot ; not a pedophile!
Ali, Roy and some other local kids, that's all I could remember. Sorry sorry :X
My memory seemed to have failed me. Anyway, getting back to the topic, the groups had rotations of different stations. We kicked off the day with tree-planting and ended off with a cheer! So this is the sequence of the stations we did:

1. Tree-planting
2. Games with local kids
3. Painting
4. Cheer/Poster-making.

Even if it takes a lot to make a kid happy for a day (and hopefully we're etched in their minds), I'll do it! Cause my childhood had been a fruitful one and I know theirs can never be because they're either unwanted or raised by a single parent. Parents play an important role in a child's life. Having the feeling of wanting to give them your all, but when you face reality, you know you can't. I felt as though I just wanted to give them everything they needed, fund them with what they needed. When my group and I gave our '100%' to what we were doing, I believe that we just hoped that the kids there will have a good childhood and teenage years. Although truths are always ugly, when they think of why other children do have parents, whereas they don't, it just leads them to depression but instead of seeing them so, why not we, as volunteers, just go ahead and make them happier? Even if it was just for a day, I believe it's the extreme we can do. I don't know why, but I seem to have a particular attachment towards the kids in the orphanage. They really impressed me by just seeing how easily contented they are. Just like when Mr K. Chia played with that little boy paper aeroplane, by throwing it from one to another, he was already grinning from ear to ear. I wanted a picture with that little boy but didn't have the opportunity to do so. If I had taken the photo with him, I'll get the photo washed out and paste it in my photo album. I feel really useless that I can't help them to feel 100% better because they will feel that something is missing in them, that is parents. The least we could do was to shower love upon them so that they know that there are people out there who cares so much about them. So...spread the love!

Dinner was at a posh restaurant in Bintan, Indonesia. It's considered posh in Indonesia. It somewhat felt like a wedding ceremony. Perhaps due to the procedure like giving a toast and speeches... This time we were lucky enough to have at least 5 guys in our group to finish up the remaining food. So the ratio of girls to guys is 5:5 for our table. In other words, it's an equal number of girls and guys.

Devotions was great! I seem to love 'Spirit Touch Your Church' a lot ever since last month and we actually sang it for devotions! Yay!

Day 4, 22/11/10

Primary School visit! :)
The kids there are really efficient in a way that they really do things really quickly and well done. Like arranging the tables to the side so that we can have game activities with them. Humanities presentation. We had Rachel (Lim) as our Malay translator. She takes Higher Malay! It's really a good experience. Just by observing their attitude, I think we have to a lot to learn from them.
SHOPPING...!
Shopped at Pasar Oleh Oleh :)
Bought something for Mummy and a shirt for myself.

There's really too much to say to the extend that I don't know how to go on. So let me just summarize how I feel about this camp.
It makes me realise how blessed we are to live in Singapore and that we shouldn't go against our parents for no reason. Like what my group trainer said, there isn't really a reason why we raise our voice at them at times for no reason just because you feel annoyed when they try to explain why we have to do certain things but we do not see from their perspective.
So I really try my best to give my utmost respect to my parents.
We're really so much luckier than them but we just take things for granted. I think I should really work on that.

That's about it for now because I'm feeling kind of sleepy :X

PS: Cold Storage used a song entitled 'My Favourite Things' for advertisement. Hahahaha. Seems like 'Maria' is getting famous.

PSS: 'Maria' is both the title of the movie and also the name of the main lead. Just search for 'Maria' online and read on the reviews.

It's going to be left as an imprint in my heart and I'm going to remember this.

Falling Stars

2010-11-11T18:51:00.003+08:00

HELLO.

Had Forest Adventure on Tuesday at Bedok Reservoir.
Tiring, scary but yet thrilling!
High elements and zip line! :)
Apparently, zip line wasn't the worst you could expect.
It was the most exciting one among all.
Did zip line thrice if I'm not wrong.
Like the cooling sensation when going across the trees!
Hate the landings. Keep getting sand onto my body :(
I would say that it was fun on the overall.
The dumbest thing I did on that day was not to have lunch.
I skipped lunch and went for FA.
Didn't plan my time well enough for lunch.
Had splitting headache and the feeling of keep wanting to vomit.

After A Hurricane Comes A Rainbow

2010-11-04T23:02:00.002+08:00

HELLO.

Thought that maybe this would be a good time to sum up my feelings for the whole year round! :)

Although I not sure if I'll be able to move on to the future, but, obviously, I have to.
So many memories holding me, wielding me back to the past.

Though some people may not find Ms Wong a good teacher, but personally, I do think she's good.
Not only good, excellent. Be it teaching or whatsoever, she fulfilled the qualities of an ideal teacher.

Life with my class was horrible initially, not until the second semester, where I actively took part in class (sort of) ... Even those playful, wild and childish people in my class became focussed in semester 2, which is also the time I treasured the most. Started communicating with those playful students in my class and realised their 'sufferings'. Well, you see, there are hidden meanings behind actions. Just like in Literature, there are hidden meanings behind the lines. It could be that their parents do not have enough time to give their children attention, therefore, these children goes to school being an 'attention-seeker'. I shall not name them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that even though we're not 'attention-seekers', doesn't mean we ain't going through a lot. We do. If I was being asked on how to describe my feelings in one word, it'd be 'love'. I really love this class, that's a fact I cannot deny. I'm really afraid that I'd meet those boastful and arrogant people next year. The reason why I love my class is because though they seem a little boastful at times, but they are really humble pies. Contradicting isn't it? Technically speaking, they 'look' like they're some big shots, but deep down in their character, they ain't no big shots. I prayed that I'd get Ms Wong as my sec 2 form teacher and I really got it! :)

Family wise... I think it wasn't too bad. Quite smooth sailing. Other than being stressed, I think everyone's alright, except during my End of Year Exams which was totally disastrous for me. Thankfully Daddy was around. Really so sweet. I think this year's examination will be the one I'll remember throughout my entire life. I woke up at irregular times during my exam period, like waking up to study at 3am in the morning or studying till 4am, my dad insisted that he must stay awake. When I woke up at 3am, my dad would make a cup of hot milo or some cooling drink so that I'd be awake! Most of the time he'll leave the television on and fall asleep, but I really don't blame him for that! He's been working so hard the whole day and after work he has to accompany me. Even if he wasn't working, I think that would still touch me deeply. Love you very much Daddy!

Loves! :)

Beautiful

2010-10-31T22:23:00.004+08:00

HELLO.

Let's start off with 'meet-the-parents' session.
My brother went in place of my parents.
He talked to Mr Quek, Mr Chua and Ms Wong.
Might appeal for triple science according to my brother.
I was smiling my way through while talking to Mr Quek, depressed while talking to Mr Chua, crying while talking to Ms Wong.
Not that I felt sad about my results...
Just that Ms Wong and my brother said things which touched me so deeply that I really couldn't hold my tears back.
Ahh. It was utterly embarrassing. My eyes turned really red and everyone thought I was crying because of my results -.-
I cried for an hour...the HCL teacher saw me in the toilet with Esther.
When I went back for duty at the bridge, I was still crying and this time, Mrs Lian saw.
Argh.
Really embarrassing.
While I was with Ms Wong and my brother, I remembered how upset I felt during my exam period when I couldn't get my brother's help (he was in Thailand).
Then she said I looked like I had something to say.
While I was talking halfway, I suddenly cried and Ms Wong took over talking.
Talked for quite long actually. About half an hour.
I really cried my heart out at that time.

Met Gary, Jue Hui and their 6PA friends at MOS Burger ; Plaza Sing.
Took the same bus home.
Felt that it was really weird to message Gary when he was sitting one seat away from me in the bus...

Plans for this week:

Monday, 1/11/10

Isaac's housewarming
Brother's departure to Malacca for vacation with friends.

Tuesday, 2/11/10

Choir & Bintan briefing.

Wednesday, 3/11/10

Choir & 6 KINDNESS BBQ cum gathering.

Thursday, 4/11/10

ECP with KM, GL, Simon, WX, Shaun and maybe Esther.
Brother's arrival from Malacca.

Friday, 5/11/10

Spend quality time with family!

This Is It

2010-10-27T22:01:00.002+08:00

HELLO.

Basically, I'll be talking about my overall experience with Faith 2-4.

I think that this year was the most memorable. Participating in class activities really permits me to bond with others. A little heartfelt words that will never come out from my mouth...

To my dearest two-four classmates:

We've done it, we've got it. Despite the playful nature in all of us, I enjoyed the nonsense we did. You guys are the best to me because you ain't hypocrites, true and supportive friends are found in here. The annoying and irritating moments were the best. We know each other very well, so do I know your motive ; to irritate every teacher in sight.
After all, it's just for fun. We've stepped over the limits as a class, we've been the best and yet the worst.
Though most believe that we wouldn't stay in contact for long, let's prove them wrong! :)
The moment which made me proud of my class most is your sense of urgency ; though it was quite late but still, you guys changed for the better!
Initially in 2009, I really disliked Faith 1-4 so much that I studied hard to get into a better class, but after knowing that we couldn't do so, I had to resign to fate. I believe that God wants me to know that you guys are my true friends. Well, it turned out very well, didn't it? :D

I love you guys & will miss you guys a lot.

Receiving messages from you all on this very day, 27/10/10 about the times we spent and how much we miss each other. Mutual feelings!

Yes, please do not approach me about this. I'm ~~shy~~..

Put Your Hands In The Air

2010-10-25T22:06:00.003+08:00

HELLO.

Holidays are coming and these are some of the few activities I'm planning:

1. Part Time Job (Just for the experience only)
2. Catch a movie with clique.
3. East Coast cycling! (KM and Simon must master cycling!)
4. KBOX with clique.
5. A visit to my Grandmother's place in Malacca.
6. Out with LLY on 13/11! :D
7. Wild Wild Wet (WWW)

Can't think of anything else. :X

Went for vaccination this afternoon for Bintan trip.
Everyone was so tense, creating such an uncomfortable atmosphere.
To mention why I was afraid, it all started because of my Primary 6 jab.
...
I went in and a female nurse attended to me.
The whole scene was so dramatic that I could barely imagine!
Got over and done with it.
Happy :)
Everyone had the 'don't-hit-my-left/right-arm' written on their faces.
So the commotion started and so on.

Yes, that's it for today!

I'll Remember You

2010-10-16T19:58:00.008+08:00

HELLO.

Celebration was fun :)
With KM, GL, Simon, Shaun, JJ & WX.
Carried the cake around the bus till I arrived at KLP.
Really fun actually.
Went to KBOX and Geek Lan practically sang almost everything.
Hahaha. Enthusiasm.
Bowling later on and then arcade.
Arcade and bowling permitted me to vent my 'troubles'.
I was so engrossed in playing the basketball meant for children cause it was really easy to score.
:P
At the same time, I was able to vent my 'troubles' on.
So lets say that I just killed two birds with one stone.

Heard that my brother will be coming home tonight! Yay :D

Well, what's a celebration without photos? :D

GL! :D

Sister! WX.

Shuan was singing to this song, "I can't give you anything but love".

KM took this :)

Eat eat eat :P

Simon's actually the spoiler to about three of my photos.
Don't judge a book by its cover!

See that blur area below? Simon did that on purpose :P

Another photo of Simon spoiling the photo.

KM took this :)

Michael Jackson. GL's song :)

JJ singing.

I think KM took this.

WX's song. So romantic right? KM has a good future ahead :D

She seems so desperate to go to the arcade. HAHAHA.

We Dance On

2010-10-14T15:49:00.006+08:00

HELLO!

Exams are over but worried about my results.
I'm
really
afraid
of
not
doing
well
Made a lot of careless mistakes :(
Personally, I feel that semester 2 is really a rush.
We rushed to complete everything, especially Geography.
We couldn't even complete and we had to read up on our own.
Besides, it's so unfair!
We've lesser time to complete our paper as compared to last year's Sec 2 paper.
I really, REALLY want to get into my ideal combination!
To be frank, I couldn't complete any of my humanities paper.
I'm really so disappointed in myself.
I was actually really upset during this exam period but never really showed it.

First was because my brother left for Thailand and I couldn't seek anyone for help with my studies at night but still, thanks to Rachael and Rochelle for helping me with my maths :)

Secondly was because something happened which I will not explain. So disappointed in that person.

Thirdly was because I felt that the EOY paper was very difficult! Really, I'm unsure of my answers.

So saddening! :(
Monday we'll receive our results and have subject combination talk.
I hope my subject teachers will allow me to take up my ideal combination.
That is:

Pure Biology
Combine Chemistry/Physics
Elective Geography/SS (I prefer Geog than to the other 2 humanities subject)
Amaths

I'd love to be able to take up these subjects.
If I don't get this combination, I'm going to be really disappointed with myself.

Plans for Friday, Saturday and Sunday:

Friday

No activities, book me if you want :)

Saturday

Bowling/KBOX/Ice Skating with KM, GL, Simon, Shaun, WX & JJ.
I'm not the type who will go KBOX...
Goes with the majority vote.
To celebrate 'Simon-Geek Lan-Shaun' 's birthday.
Buying cake :)

Sunday

On a date with my family to welcome my brother home! So exciteddddd! :D

We Dance On
N-Dubz

Watch me while I stand here
Watch my feet, my stance, my body language
I’m not someone to be messed with
I’m a fox on a mission
You know you’re challenging the best here

It’s gonna be real hard
But I’m gonna be okay
As long as I try real hard
I’m always gonna find my way
I’ma find my way

Let me tell 'em
I'ma stand up like a soldier
I'ma get them ‘til it’s over
I’ll keep marching to the beat
‘til there’s bruises on my feet
Now I’m falling to my knees

‘Cause I’m gonna take this all the way
It’s now or never
I'’ll break what’s in my way
Ima stand up like a soldier
Tonight I’m gonna take over

`Cause I know everything’s gonna be alright
Now you’re standing here right by my side
And we dance on, dance on, we gonna dance on
Ain’t gonna work for life when we know we can dance on

Everything’s gonna be okay
The streets will lighten up our way
So we dance on, dance on, we gonna dance on
Ain’t gonna work for life when we know we can dance on

Not in a million years
Did I think my feet would bring me this far
So much frustration, sleepless nights
Now that I’m in charge
At first no one gave me the time of day
Now I’m left on my own to show the way
My sisters, brothers from other mothers
Can we take this all the way

Could of kicked us to the curb
These days are so hard to get heard
We gonna stand up like a soldier
Take everything we deserve (trust)
At first everyone was cautious
When we brought in something new
But after weeks of practicing
We knew exactly what to do

I’ma stand up like a soldier
I’ma get them ‘til it’s over
I’ll keep marching to the beat
‘til there’s bruises on my feet
Now I’m falling to my knees

‘Cause I’m gonna take this all the way
It’s now or never
I’ll break what’s in my way
I'ma stand up like a soldier
Tonight I’m gonna take over

‘Cause I know everything’s gonna be alright
Now you’re standing here right by my side
And we dance on, dance on, we gonna dance on
Ain’t gonna work for life when we know we can dance on

Everything’s gonna be okay
The streets will lighten up our way
So we dance on, dance on, we gonna dance on
Ain’t gonna work for life when we know we can dance on

‘Cause I know everything’s gonna be alright
Now you’re standing here right by my side
And we dance on, dance on, we gonna dance on
Ain’t gonna work for life when we know we can dance on

Everything’s gonna be okay
The streets will lighten up our way
So we dance on, dance on, we gonna dance on
Ain’t gonna work for life when we know we can dance on

Watch the MV of this song! It's awesome!

Different Summers

2010-09-21T22:27:00.005+08:00

Life is just like a game, lets take a ride.
It's not just that you miss the other companion.
My other companion is actually my brother.
I hate it when he has to leave for the army camp.
It feels as though it's generation gap but it's just that I miss him so much that I want to spend every single minute of my life with him.
I bet he doesn't feel the same way.
I feel so sad when I think of it :(
You guys out there, better treasure your sibling(s) while you can.
It's kind of like a bitter pill to swallow.
When you spend at least 14 years of your life with someone, it creates a bond, an affection between siblings.
Even having siblings that are so called your 'gans', they can never beat the feeling of being with your very own.

I miss you :(

Wouldn't Change A Thing

2010-09-12T21:38:00.001+08:00

I found this on some website...

HELLO (:

Having sore throat, phlegm, cough and flu :(
I sound like a man now...
Anyway, I'm finding out the chords for 'Wouldn't Change A Thing'.
School's reopening tomorrow! :(
I better start cracking on my History-Geography Core assignment.
I don't know why they want us to do this.
It's doesn't relate to History much.
In other words, this is like NE, whereby we're suppose to familiarize with Singapore itself.

My brother had to be rushed to the A&E just now.
Not really rush, just that my dad sped home to fetch my brother to Changi Hospital.
He came back from his 21km run which started at 5AM with his knee cap aching.
My mum used 'Salonpas' and a few hours later he woke up with swollen eyes.
After four hours in total, he woke up again with his eyes barely opened, he claimed that it's pain and find it hard to breathe. He's actually allergic to Aspirin which is in the Salonpas itself.
Mum called back and told me that he has the oxygen mask and on drip, under observation for the next one hour. :(
I pray that he'd be discharged soon :)

TOMATO & CARROT

HELLO :)
I'm super happy happy happy happy!
I had the PRIVILEGE to usher the principals :)
Ushered principals from ACS (Independent), ACS (Barker), ACS (International), ACJC and PLMGSS and some other chaplains.
I don't know why, I feel very honoured :)
Because someone believed in me that I was able to do it.
Though my leg was hurting badly, I had to endure it.
(So was everyone's)
:)
It's going to be one of my best memories.
I realised that striking a conversation with the principals was really easy cause they're extremely friendly! Especially the principal from ACS (International)! She's a Caucasian (I look up to them cause they're nice)! I really had a good time talking to them :)
I've learned many things today that others may not be able to learn through theories.

I had to stand at the door in the hall to direct the teachers to the restroom. I witnessed the teacher's pledge led by Ms Wendy Wong and singspiration led by Mr James Lee. I didn't really eat much as for the refreshments, but drank fruit punch :)

My Primary 1 and 2 form teacher, Mrs Clara Ng, recognised me till now! She was like talking the Primary School HOD of English about me cause she kept pointing at me. Suddenly she came and talk to me, "Hey! Hi, I remember you, you are Lor...Lor..." Then I told her, "Loren, nice to see you again, Mrs Ng!" After six years, she still remembered me! :)

Methodist Staff Get Together marks the start of the holiday. Well, 14 assignments to complete. :(

Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity. I really appreciate it a lot.

Do you get it...? I don't think so. I'll give you a little more hint.

See anything familiar? Yes? No?

There you are. :)

Hello.
Choir was super taxing but not as bad as Wednesday's.
Performance tomorrow @ Joo Chiat Community Center.
It's not the ultimate training yet.
That will only happen when it's the SYF year.
We shall aim to clinch a gold next year!

Stayed back with Gladi, SiewYing, Janice, FL, Jordan & Wendy.
Had so much time to kill so we played Truth or Dare in the canteen.

I like the pastor for GNW.
Pastor Jeremy Seaward! :)
There's this group of people who danced.
They totally copied the Korean version of choreography for 'We Are The Reason(s)'.
Buzz.

Autumn
(Credits: deviantart)

Hello.
I decided to blog now because I'm totally stressed up.
I want everything done by this weekend so that all of us will have a more relaxed time next week.
Exactly, it's because of so many tests next week.
Great, we're still at the beginning only.
I'm going to get the 2 boards done this weekend with the cute christmas trees! (:
KM has to get the powerpoint slides done by Monday.
Script has to be done by Monday too.

The 3 guys aren't doing anything yet.
They will be doing the booth.
I'll tell them on the day itself and that will leave them with no choice.
HAHAHAHAHA.

Goodnight (:

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

Thank you so much for the encouragement letters, cards...etc.
(Jessie, KM, WZ, GL, Elyssa, JiaNi)
I wrote to eight people.
(KM, WZ, GL, Shaun, Simon, WenXuan, Elyssa & JiaNi)
Ms Wong purposely got us to do this activity (writing encouragement letters) to show care :)
If it's not because of such limited time, I would've written to the whole class.
I stored in a little box MeiYin gave me for my birthday!

I think perhaps it's really not to me :)
I'm feeling better, don't worry, people.

Having flu, cough and sore throat!

Don't sob when it withers,
don't cry when it's pain.

Cold As You

2010-06-26T14:15:00.002+08:00

Hello.

Back from camp since two days ago.
I've been successfully brainwashed by the camp cheers.
Zzz.
HONESTLY, I wasn't really enthusiastic in this camp.
Really.
Everything that went through my mind was only "Quit or not. Quit or not. Quit or not"
It circulated my mind the whole time round. I could not focus on anything else.
I actually told Simon, Geek Lan and Camellia about it but none of them were able to actually convince me.
I consulted Ms Wong during breakfast two days ago. Talked for quite long but still, we weren't actually getting to the point.

Okay, credits to the sec4 student councilors for the team-building games + treasure hunt.
Treasure hunt was not too bad, got fooled by them time and again especially the one which Daryl and Eugene's station and Adam's one.
Rahh.
On that very night, just right after our bath, we all perspired like nobody's business due to the treasure hunt.
Team-building wasn't that bad.
I still remembered the bad fall QianHui had for our very first station in Faith 1/4.
Second station was the 'melting of ice'.
We totally screwed the cheer there.
Third was the one in ISH, I can't remember the name
Fourth was...Deborah's station. We had to be blindfolded and find our groups.
Fifth was the one which we needed to pass bananas, eggs, basketballs, shoes...etc.
Eww.

Choir yesterday was okay. Had sectionals for the last half an hour.
Did Joyful Joyful.
Needed to 'fly' to S1.
We picked a buddy.
So it was three sec twos to one sec one.
Except for YiLin and FL.
Really, I understand the pain of Rachael who guided me through the first few months now.
It took us GREAT PAIN to actually make them open their mouths to sing but it's really fun when you actually sing in tune and coach your juniors :D
I was with Esther, Gladi and a junior.
Didn't stay for the ROD (So sorry!) because I had to do housework.

My thai cousin and his friend will be staying over at our house today till tomorrow.
Cause he participated in the Robocup that's why he came to Singapore.
It's kind of complicated how the whole thing actually ended up at staying at our house.
Continued cleaning this whole morning.
Phew, we're finally done!

Teleport

2010-06-12T22:57:00.007+08:00

IN MALAYSIA FROM 12/6/10 TO 18/6/10.

No worries Annabelle & FL, I'll stick to my promise.
Love you all :]

BOWLING, 8/6/10

Sharon.

Cassey.

GL.

Gl took this :P

Me.

WZ and my shoes. Hers is facing towards South direction.

Sharon.

Me.

Sharon.

GL took this :P

SAKURA, 7/6/10

7/6/10

Hahahahaha. Went out with WenXuan, KahMin & Shaun.
Met WenXuan at Aljunied MRT, took a train down to Bedok to meet Shaun and then to Simei to meet KahMin.
Went to Downtown East to find fish-y but can't find.
Went to buy tickets to watch Prince of Persia.

Ate at Sakura.
Hahahahaha.

Hmm. I must say, Prince of Persia is really one of the best movie I've watched.

8/6/10

Played bowling with GL, WZ, Sharon and Cassey.
One strike, one spare.
That's a good start for a beginner like me.
Hahahahahahaha.
Played till I had flu and kept on sneezing.
Took circle line to Paya Lebar and bus 135 home.
I fell asleep due to my consistent sneezing and missed my stop.
Anyway it's just one stop, so I walked back home.
Saw MinYee in the same bus as me. :]

Staying at home tomorrow. Save money to watch Karate Kid with XinEr at Bugis on Thursday.
Most probably going for the earlier timings.

Where Are You Now

2010-06-06T23:00:00.003+08:00

Went out with KM and her family today.
Ahh, it's like so weird.
Roxanne was supposed to come ):
Never mind that.
Then her dad paid almost EVERYTHING for me.
Wait.
IT'S EVERYTHING.

Went to Suntec City Book fair.
Bought a book from there.
Titled 'Zenzele' (Can't remember the spelling)
It's a novel.
It's nice, I like the introduction.
Read up till chapter 2.

Went Bugis with KM while her family went to Chinatown.
Bought headphones instead because my earphones were giving me problems time and again!
Rahh.
Couldn't find fish-y (To coil the wire up) ):
MeiYin would probably scram off from me. Hahahahaha.
It's cute.

Yogurt-ed and messaged Rochelle at the same time.
Rochelle was with ChienLing.
It's ChienLing's birthday today!
So I gallivanted around Illuma.
Met them while eating yogurt.
They didn't know that I was there, neither did I till I saw the message.
Hahaha.

While KM was eating her yummy chicken rice at Bugis Food Court, I was writing and thinking about what materials we need for our YOG booth stall and what we need to do further and deeper research on.

I still remembered someone came up to us during NE while we presented our booth and asked what the population was.
All of us stunned cause we didn't do research on that.
So this time, to tackle Secondary School Students' questions, we decided to read up further on Ukraine, make it more attractive and fun, of course!

PEOPLE READING THIS, REMEMBER TO VISIT OUR BOOTH IN JULY! :]

Going to Sakura at Downtown East tomorrow with WenXuan, Shaun and KahMin, then maybe we'll catch a movie.
I'm so going to find fishy coil tomorrow!
It's not that I want to scare MeiYin out of it, it's just that it's the best choice among the rest. :P

Meeting MeiYin on Wednesday, going bowling with GL on Tuesday, going out with XinEr & LiYan (& maybe WZ) on Thursday, going malaysia from Friday to Sunday.

I dread going Malaysia. If you've read what I post in Malaysia last year during my one month stay there, you'll know why.

Common Denominator

2010-06-04T20:44:00.009+08:00

Conversation between WZ and me. (Click on picture to zoom in)

Ahh, yes, I'm back. Having headache and all those.

SMSed KM to ask her out after band practice but she didn't reply till 2PM when band ended.
She asked me to meet her at Aljunied MRT station at 2.30PM.

(Before that...)

What a coincidence.
Went to bugis to meet AC, FL, RL & LY at 11.45AM till 1.30PM.
Made a trip to the school to hand in forms.
Saw GL and the guides.
They were going to play bowling at KLP.
(I didn't know they were going there until I went there with KM)
Went home and sat in front of my computer thinking of what to do.
And suddenly... KM messaged me and asked me to meet her.
So I arrived at the MRT station at 2.45PM.
Took a train down to Paya Lebar, and took the circle line down to the stadium.
Went to KLP and ate at 'WANG'. (Sells Kaya toast and all that, just like Ya Kun Kaya)
Saw Jenna there and I could barely recognize her.

GL suddenly called me and said that she saw us.
How small can this country get?

I took a bus home from Paya Lebar.
Slept through the journey home.
I had a horrible headache.
Went home and did housework then went to sleep for 40mins or not when my mum comes home, she'll start nagging.
My brother kept asking me to stop doing it and take a nap.
I didn't want to procrastinate my duty time and again.
Tomorrow's my mum's birthday!
Yay! There's cake to eat!

I hope my horrible headache will shoo off.
Shoooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Still remembered how foolish I was.
Dazzling creatures, you're one of them.
Too bright, too bright.
I'll shun away from you.
But right now, look at me.

DAY 2 @ TKPS (Telok Kurau Primary School)

I was bored, so I decided to play with the sweets.

Kah Min's masterpiece.

I think WZ randomly took this.

KM took this on her own using my HP. ZIPAI!

I forgot what this was.

Hahahaha. I'm still laughing at this.

KM took this on her own using my HP.

I think KM took this.

WZ sleeping!

WZ took this I guess.

DAY 1 @ TKPS (Telok Kurau Primary School)

KM's Subway B.M.T

WZ's first time eating subway.

I was bored, so decided to take a picture of the instructor.

WZ and her bored look.

The title of this game was called ENTREPRENEURS.
We were supposed to earn at least $3500.
Had different sections. Aviation, Construction, Design and Transportation
There are 3 levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced.
For this game, to get the money for beginner would be 4 levels of that 'card-stacking pyramid'.
Intermediate would be 5 and advanced would be 6.
We did advanced. Needed a lot of patience because of the wind.

From the right: Wan Zhen, Kah Min and my shoes

The 'aww' look.

Emphasize on WZ's impression.

Blogging...Blogging...Snoozing...Snoozing...

I was feeling so exhausted yesterday.
The common question, WHY.

NE Training on 1/6 wasn't the reason why.
It's because they told us that the next day, 2/6, we had to do a dry-run by setting up booth for different primary school kids who are NE representatives in their school.
GM's partnering country is Ukraine.
KM and WZ came to my house after NE, dinner and buying of materials.
Reached home at 6.45PM.
Did preparations with them till 9.45PM.
Seeing us so tired, Dad offered to give them a ride to each of their homes.
Went home and continued with NE preparations till 12midnight.

Next morning, we arrived at Telok Kurau Primary School at 7.30AM.
(FYI: The training starts at 9AM)
We continued to do preparations till the time was up.

The Secondary School students were to set up their booths first followed by the Primary School.
Of course, the Primary School students had the help of their teachers to do the booths, whereas, we had to do it ourselves.

Primary School students came strolling in with little enthusiasm. I can understand that they're shy but when some of them came to GM's booth to 'learn' from our colourful work, they didn't bother to pay attention. They just nodded their heads and looked around.
After awhile, I got the hang of it.
I become extremely friendly with them and joked about things with them.
Thanks to KM, WZ and Jeremy, I had to do most of the speaking. ):
Especially Jeremy and WZ!
At least KM helped out with the quizzes and a little here and there.

So later on it was our turn to visit the Primary School booths.
We gave them full attention and conquered their quizzes in no time :P

I learned how to play 童话 with the primary school piano.
Played basketball and volleyball with them using TKPS basketball and netball courts.

LESSON LEARNT: Do not always depend on others, they might just turn their backs on you.

I'll be the reason for your pain, you can put the blame on me.
I'd love to see the sunrise with you again.
The clock strikes four, it's your tea time.
I still remembered.
Don't blame the rain.
It's just between us, only the two of us.

Love Me

Went out with LLY today.
Really fun.
Yogurt. :]

The way a girl expresses her feelings to tell another girl that she treats her as her best friend is to say I Love You. So,

I LOVE YOU, LI YAN! :]
You've been the best all these while.
Listening to all my troubles, giving me solutions and all that.
I take note of all these little actions you do.
And the best is that, we have common things that we like, like Cookie Monster and Domokun. I like spongebob and elmo too :]
Yes! Lets commemorate our 8 years of friendship.
:]

The Truth

2010-05-29T09:12:00.008+08:00

I dropped my ice cream yesterday ):

Subway-ed with KM! My dearest KM.

My order :]

L for? LOREN! Kept playing with Chen Eng's curve ruler during choir.

KM shy shy :X

RESULTS are not really good.
Mum's not pleased with my results ):
Oh yes, let me get this clear, the previous post wasn't about not being about to do part time job, it's about another matter.
Anyway, getting back.
Dad went to collect my results with me on Thursday.

People were hanging their heads low, taking deep breaths with an anxious-look.
Exchanging glances with one another, heart pumping rapidly.
Hands were in cold sweat and there was tension in their nerves.
Minds were running wild, thinking how to convince their parents that they've tried their best.
The air was so stale and there was silence that gave goosebumps.
Fifteen minutes felt like an hour.
Tick Tock...Tick Tock...Tick Tock...

Yesterday was Vesak Day.
Went to visit my Thai cousin, uncle and auntie at Studio M Hotel.
Arrived at about 8.30pm and waited for them till 10.40pm.
They didn't go with a tour bus. They just went shopping around independently and successfully covered almost half of Singapore within a day.
Their main purpose here is to visit the Universal Studio.
It's my first time communicating with her (cousin), so it's a little awkward.
She's 28 this year, got married in January 2010, which means she's 14 years older than me.
She's called Joyce Yang Hui Min!
Hui Min! Hui Min! We are the Hui Min(s).
She's so pretty! Hahahahaha.
:]
Happy happy.

This is so funny.
A conversation with Kenneth Wee:

kenneth says:
*AH MA DE AH MA!! UR NU ER DE NU ER NUER DE NUER THE ERRMM

kenneth says:

kenneth says:

*DUN WAN PLAY LE LAHHH
' L ' says:

kenneth says:

' L ' says:

Subway-ed with KM on Wednesday after her band practice and my choir practice.
I ended earlier so went to play basketball and volleyball with AC, FL, Simin, PKL and Faith.
Went to see band dismiss. Hahahaha.

PS: Don't worry LLY, I won't squeak a single thing about it

Because of You

2010-05-24T16:44:00.005+08:00



Because of you
Kelly Clarkson

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I will never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I will never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I will never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Battlebox @ Fort Canning & Kranji Cemetery

This was the agreement made in WW2 (I think)

Human Figurine. Looks real right? :D

Human Figurines. Percival is the one standing up. They were planning how to defend Singapore.

Hahaha, this figurine is actually really scary cause of the eyes.

They're planning for something. (Sorry, didn't listen to this part :X Human figurines.)

This guy actually moves! Another human figurine.

SUSHI @ KM's house

Roxanne in her comfortable and sleepy mood.

KM

The second pizza looked better right?

Blended tomato juice with cracker :]

KM's violent!

Just look at the pizza! :X This was the first pizza.

This is rather special. It's cucumber with cheese. I love it :]
This was the first sushi we sliced.

Pizzas we bought. Hahaha.

Roxanne and KM

Carrots, Crabsticks and Cheese sausages.
I had to cook the crabsitcks and sausages cause the two ladies didn't know how to cook it. -.-

Met MeiYin and XiuPing after YF at Aljunied MRT Station.
Went to Singapore Post cause it was pretty late already.
We ate Subway!
XiuPing gave me a treat :]
Then Suzette came later on.
XiuPing bought cake for me, MeiYin gave me a box which had letters written by the 3 of them.
(I forgot to bring the postcard I wrote for MeiYin.)

Mmm. Have you ever tried eating Bak Kut Teh in the morning for breakfast?
Parents wanted to eat the famous Bak Kut Teh stall at Rangoon Road.
Went there at about 8+ to avoid the long long long long long queue.
I didn't have much appetite though.
Imagine having to eat meat and rice in the morning.
It was a No-No for me.

Had to MOP floor ):
I don't like it.
EEEKS.

Okay, I'm officially booked this whole week.
Oh, there's photo-taking this Tuesday!
MONDAY-FRIDAY - School and CCA (on certain days)
Saturday - My Thai relatives are coming and they've booked a room, at Studio 8 Hotel. So we're expected to be hosts and bring them around. They speak Cantonese. I'm so dead. I get tongue-tied each time I speak in Cantonese. (Don't ask why I've Malaysian and Thai relatives. Long story. Let me get this clear, I'm a SINGAPOREAN. S-I-N-G-A-P-O-R-E-A-N. Many have thought that I'm either Thai or Malaysian -.-) At night, going Uncle Tony's new house.
Sunday - Mop floor. Expected to stay at home.

It's a weekly routine.
Mop floor every Sunday.
Gah.

How do you feel when your sibling isn't going to be at home for a week?

My brother left for army camp today.
I feel really lonely without his company and that we grew up together for 12years and suddenly he got enlisted into army after my PSLE.
I rather not use the computer and let him play DOTA every second just to have him around.
Is this how I'm suppose to feel? ):

Anyway,
Exams are over but still, there's one thing to worry, RESULTS.
So enjoy to the maximum today people!
Cause it's going to be doomsday for some people.
Shivering with fear.

Went to KM's house yesterday to make sushi.
The bill was $39.15 from NTUC.
Roxanne bought salmon separately which cost $10.
So in total it was $49.15.
Each of us paid $16+
Sushi was nice.
We bought nori sheets, cheese, cucumber, avocado, Japanese mayonnaise, rice vinegar, cheese sausages, crabsticks, tuna, carrot, drinks, frozen pizzas. (Can't remember the rest)
Both of them didn't know how to cook the sausages and crabsticks.
Roxanne came with salmon :]
Yay!
KM blended the remaining carrots with honey and some other weird stuff and it smelled disgusting.
Next, she blended cucumber with sugar. Wasn't really good either.
I blended tomatoes only :]
Ate it with crackers.
We had a lot of time to catch up with each other.
At around 6.45PM, Dad and Mum came to fetch me cause it was raining heavily and there wasn't any link way or shelter to the MRT station.
They gave Roxanne a ride to the bus stop.

My brother bought me a crumpler bag for my birthday this year.
:]

Fourteen

2010-05-11T11:19:00.006+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOREN! :]

I was expecting someone to wish me today.
Perhaps, I wanted to learn what initiative was.
I waited and waited, so I decided, "Forget it, focus on studying."
I'm disappointed in you man. You know who you are.

Anyway, science paper was... -.-
I didn't learn the definition of power and I simply wrote that it is the amount of electrical energy ._.!
Ms Wong gave me a birthday gift! Yay!
I was waiting for this day!
I'm so happy. I'm going to miss her after this year ):

Thank you for all the presents! :]

Sorry, but it's time to let go

According to You

2010-04-21T18:49:00.004+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNABELLE! 21.04.10

PLEASE,
I don't blush just because I'm talking to Cassey and Esther.S, ANNABELLE.
Why would I anyway?

Angels Cry

2010-04-17T21:15:00.004+08:00

Sports day was...was...was... (you know...)
Met Xin Er at 2.45pm and walked to Annabelle's house for her birthday party celebration.
Went home around 7pm.

Met KM, WZ and GL this morning.
Went to my house for art project work.
-.-
KM and I drew 26 different symbols.
They messed up my room and spilled paint all over.
The 3 of them kept taking the balloons in my room and started sculpting.
KM kept bursting the balloons.
HAHA.
Drew Lyo. Haven't touched up properly yet.
):
Tired.
They stayed till 6.30pm then went off.
Walked KM and GL to the nearest bus stop and WZ to another bus stop.
I'm all drained out.
Ahh.

If I Had You

2010-04-13T21:30:00.006+08:00

Woosh. Alright. I'm feeling so great now. :]
Had fever this morning.
During self-study, a lot of people were being sprayed by the guys -.-
When I was primary 1, the same thing happened.
When I'm secondary 2 now, history repeats itself.
The only way to let one know that he/she is wrong is to shame him/her.

People gave me thumbs up during self-study :]

Alright, backtrack.
Saturday.
Thanksgiving, Easter Carnival.
Easter Carnival was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :]
Thanksgiving was not so good.
Lets start from the beginning.
We gathered at the music room at 4pm.
Had tea break then changed.
Put on make-up, put plasters, wear shoes, rehearse.
By the time we arrived at the grass patch, I was perspiring.
The shoes gave me blisters despite the plasters ):
After the performance, I accidentally stepped into a hole hidden among the grass patch and twisted my ankle.
I was limping my way to the traffic light.
Luckily, Jasmine.T could wear my shoes so I exchanged with her.
:]
Went back to watch prize giving and stayed till 9.30pm.
Mum and Dad gave Annabelle a ride home.
HAH.

2010-04-07T20:14:00.005+08:00

Have you ever tried laughing to your extreme when you're actually trying to cover up the fact that you're actually very confused and lost? Oh well.

Chinese and History test yesterday.
Chinese = confirm fail.
I had no idea what the second section was about -.-
I hope I score in my comprehension.
History...As usual, my SAQ sure gone case whereas the inference part should be alright except for the one with picture and my essay should be acceptable.
Oh well.

Anyway, having Situational Writing tomorrow.
I hope I'll do well to pull my marks up ):

Choir Rehearsal yesterday.
Hah. I made a lot of mistakes.
I started laughing then the people in front of me started laughing.
:D
Ms Ng got a little frustrated with our performance cause we seemed unready :X
Had a little standing rearrangement.
In the end, FL stood beside me :D
Went to watch the rehearsal in hall.
Aisyah's singing was awesome and at that particular moment, I felt so proud of my class.
FL and I were having a lot of fun in there!
Justin Bieber's songs were being 'sang'.
A lot of talents in GM. So proud of it! :]

“Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.” - Roger Ebert

My parents left for Malaysia early yesterday morning.
She wrote down a list of what we're supposed to do.
We procrastinated it time and again.
I'm supposed to vacuum upstairs but have yet to do it.
I kept telling myself I'll do it but in the end I've yet to do it :P
Slept at 1am and woke up at 7.45am today.
Eye bags finally gone! :D
My brother went out the whole day yesterday and came home around 11pm.
Yesterday was 'Save the Earth' day from 8pm-9pm.
I thought that black out will occur so I went out to buy dinner.
Technically speaking, I'm afraid of the dark. :/
No one was with me at home so I got a little afraid and I switched on the lights in my house, not all but the ones on first floor. I knew that I'll be wasting electricity but desperate moments calls for desperate measures.

One More Lie

2010-03-23T19:53:00.004+08:00

My favourite word (:

Alright alright. Changes in timetable.
In the end, we still have to suffer three periods of English in a day don't we?
Thankful enough that it isn't at a go.
Got back English and Geography this week.
So here are my pathetic results (Shall not list English):

Chinese-27.5/50 (C5)
Maths-36/50 (A2)
Science-41.5/50 (A1)
Literature-27/35 (A1)
History-23/35 (B3)
Geography-28/35 (A1)

Not very satisfied with my languages.
):
Got to work on it.
I want to get 70% and above!

Yesterday talked to my other brother.
I was really at one of my lowest point.
Thankfully, he managed to make me feel at ease.
Thankyousomuch! (:

A little hut which we both love to go every morning.

Chess laid out on the floor. Rather big in size.

WZ's way of eating chicken wings.

View of the netball court at 4th floor.

WZ! (:

NE COURSE - DAY 2

Okay, was rather good. Didn't screw things up this time.
Went to the YOG centre. XiuYing was our guide.
We played Whacko in the morning then went back to our theory class and then lunch, finally, we departed for YOG centre.
Learned a whole lot of things there :D
We saw Mr C.Kunalan there!

You know, yesterday there was debate of why girls are better than guys by Broadrick Secondary.
One guy said boys go for NS whereas girls just stay at home and cook. 80% of the world leaders are men.
Then one of the girl said according to her mum, the pain of childbirth is 9/10 and started talking about tummy cramps.

Woah. I tell you, they did well for this topic. Really attracted the whole 'class' attention. Did I mention that we were somehow one of the youngest group of students there? ):

Came home, felt a little feverish and had sore eye (left).
Rahh! ):

Yay! My brother is coming home! :D

PS: I really love you LiJun and Tze Jun and clique, after much reflections, I realised how important friends are. You guys stayed with me almost throughout my entire life! I've been friends with you for about 10years already and we're still just as close! I hope we can stay on till 20 years!

So bad, its really 3 in 1 today.
-Bad flu
-Didn't sleep enough, had eye bags.
-Screwed up my public speaking presentation.

NE COURSE CONDUCTED BY ACORN

Anyway, my dad fetched WZ and I to Telok Kurau Primary School this morning at 8.
Meanwhile, we went round the school.
Then suddenly saw XiuYing there!
Hahaha! Such a coincidence.
The course was rather worth going.
Made new friends from GMS(S) like Jeremy and QianYu from F2/2.
Hahaha. They're rather funny.
And a upper secondary guy from Bedok Secondary joined us cause he was the only one who was from that school. If I'm not wrong, he's called ChunHua (2nd pronunciation).
Ms Johnson was there with us too.
Heehee.
Branch, Lunch and Tea-Break were provided.
After the course, Ms Johnson, Wan Zhen and I were waited for our fathers.
Dad gave WZ a lift home.

ALRIGHT. Came home with my flu even worse.
Guess its due to haze?

Well, today, 13March 2010 marks the start of the March Holidays!

To start off the last day of school on 12/3/10, the teachers had planned for us Cross Country.
It was pathetic though.
The more I looked at Bedok Reservoir, the bigger it was.
Xin Er and Wan Zhen kept giving us this random face each time they looked back at us and started running ahead. But in the end, Gladi and I completed the race early than them :D

Went out with Simon, Anyi, Nicholas, Xiang Wei and Geek Lan to Tampines.
Bought a birthday gift.
HAHA.
Actually we didn't actually do much, just walked.
Arrived home at about 2pm.

Going out later :D

That Room Filled With Leaders

2010-02-11T20:22:00.009+08:00

CLASSROOM DECORATION not done yet.
Adding final touches tomorrow morning.

Had so much fun doing decorations today.
We really did a lot with the help of Ms Wong a little here and there.
Might have the chance to win.
Its a battle against Faith 2/2, 2/3 and 2/4.

PE was simply fun.
Know why?
Cause I finally managed to pass my SBJ.
Need 3 more sit ups to get an A.
:/
After all the 5 stations, had nothing to play with so invited Geek Lan and Simon to run 1 round with me. After that, we were REALLY tired.
Studying today wasn't as hectic as usual somehow.
Had no homework! YAY!

Class decorations was way way way way FUN!
We were rushing through till 6.20pm.
HAHA. Fun, yet memorable.
We worked so hard because Ms Wong said we've to win! (:
It also taught most of us self-discipline and teamwork.
We did it partly for our class.

Hahaha, I took a picture of what Jenna and I drew on our whiteboard.
These pictures are in random orders.

HANDS of ours (:

See the moon and the STAR...

Look how far we have come.

Hehe, I was hanging that red coloured thing too. Standing on tables without shoes of course.

She really knows how to pose (:

Hahaha, Wei Sheng and my hand :D
A few of us were doing the handprints like last week?

Drew this while waiting for Wan Zhen's softball to end cause my dad was fetching her home.

Hahaha, drew that also.

Actually for this, I didn't exactly draw much.
I only wrote 'Happy Lunar New Year', 'Faithtwofour' and drew that guy on the left hand side.
Hahaha, I'm not good at drawing things on the board :X
Jenna drew the rest.
*See our little fishes there? Cute isn't it? :D

Oh ya, I'll be leaving for Malaysia this Saturday (:

PS: Class decoration committee: Jia Ni, Simon, Gladys, Michelle, Kenneth Wee, Wen Xuan, Wei Sheng, Xiao Xuan, Camellia and me! Did I miss anyone out? Tell me please :D
Hahaha, and definately thank you Faith 2-4 for cooperating by giving us the red packets! I love you guys! :D

Beyond The Horizon

2010-01-17T20:52:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling so sleepy again.
Hahahaha, whats with me?

Ate lunch with MeiYin.
Then went to City Hall with Suzette, Cindy and YiMei.
Ate NiWa Sushi for dinner!
Heehee, nice nice! (:
Prices are also reasonable.
Suzette said something about eating too much raw food and there will be worms in your brain.
Hahaha, that's what she read from an email.
Window-shopped till 8pm.

Meanwhile, they asked me questions about my problems and all that.
Cindy said I looked like Olivia. If I'm not wrong, she's the 8th person who said that.

Somehow, I think I lack of a lot of sleep.
My eye bags are getting darker and more.

Just munched on a few cucumbers.
Heehee, nice and refreshing!
I like cucumbers somehow, whereas my brother will puke upon tasting it.
Hahahaha.

This song is so random. Just because I like the title doesn't mean I like the song.

Beyond The Horizon
Bob Dylan

Beyond the horizon, behind the sun
At the end of the rainbow life has only begun
In the long hours of twilight underneath the stardust above
Beyond the horizon it is easy to love

I'm touched with desire
What I do
Through flame and through fire
I'll build my world around you

Beyond the horizon, in the Springtime or fall
Love waits forever, for one and for all

Beyond the horizon, across the divide
Around about midnight, we'll be on the same side
Down in the valley the water runs cold
Beyond the horizon someone prayed for your soul

My wretched heart is pounding
I felt an angel's kiss
My memories are drowning
In mortal bliss

Beyond the horizon, at the end of the game
Every step that you take, I'm walking the same

Beyond the horizon, the night winds blow
The theme of a melody from many moons ago
The bells of St. Mary, how sweetly they chime
Beyond the horizon I found you just in time

It's dark and it's dreary
I've been pleading in vain
I'm wounded, I'm weary
My repentance is plain

Beyond the horizon over the treacherous sea
I still can't believe that you have set aside your love for me

Beyond the horizon, underneath crimson skies
In the soft light of morning I'll follow you with my eyes
Through countries and kingdoms and temples of stone
Beyond the horizon right down to the bone

It's the right time of the season
Somebody there always cared
There's always a reason
Why some one's life has been spared

Beyond the horizon, the sky is so blue
I've got more than a lifetime to live loving you

Someone's Watching Over Me

2010-01-08T13:22:00.013+08:00

Breakthru camp was awesome!
The most touching moment was Day 3.
I cried in the bus on the way back to school.
Ahh, not really cry, just tear.
I think Wess saw me tearing when students went up to thank the mentors.
As I grow up, I realised that I become more and more emotional. Zzz.
A lot of things happened during the camp and I'm lazy to list them all out.
Never mind lets start.

DAY 1

Welcomed by our mentors! Took 45mins to settle down.
Did Ice-Breaking as we were not in the same class.
Jumbled up with different classes.
I was in Green house, (Green 2 ; G2)
My FM (Family Mentor) was Dwight!
Heehee. Nice person (:
There was a little bit of studying throughout the day, learning about the '3Rs':
-Relationship
-Responsibility
-Resilience

Had activities like Dog and Bone etc etc.
Were assigned to dorms and practically our dorm was the largest among the female dorms.

I liked group time.
We get to bond with our mentor more.
Moreover, he loves us so much despite we being so reluctant at first! (:

Its really nice of them to encourage us.
I didn't feel like participating in the cheer actually.
Soon, after going through so many things with my team and mentor, I got out of my comfort zone.
Slept in air-conditioned room!

DAY 2

We started to go 'Rah-Rah' already.
All super hyperactive already by day 2.
We really changed.
Especially my team.
I was at first "Waste my time coming to this camp, all we do is listen to talks..." on Day 1.
I was then "Woohoo! G2 rocks! Go team!" on Day 2.
See the BIG difference?

Indoor games for an hour.
Planning for skit/decorating flag for another 1 hour or so.
Hahaha, my group was totally amazing!
Ronnie had the idea of 'imitating' Mr Glenn's life.
Hahaha, my role was okay just that made a lot of mistakes I think.
Luckily my mentor was behind me.
I was the narrator.
The teachers were all staring at me as they were like shock.
Heehee. They know that I'm a very shy and timid person.
That is my testimony.
I changed to become a better person through the camp!
How great is that?! :D

Showcase Night!

AWESOME!
Did cheers and all.
The mentors did a dance!
3 Cheers! (:
We were the first to present the skit.
I wasn't even mentally prepared, but with the encouragements of my friends and teammates, I did my best and so did they too!
Watched a video that they made with the photos taken of us.
Did the pledge with light sticks!
So cool.
Green house had 'The Most Initiative' award!

Had a little of class admin time.
Tired but still persisted myself to keep my eyes and brains awake.
This is called RESILIENCE! (:
Hahahaha.
Teachers dismissed us off to our dorms.

DAY 3

Last day in camp.
My smile was still very wide this morning.
Slowly, my smile just disappeared.
A lot of people thought that something was troubling me.
I told them I was tired.
(Excuses :X! )
The actual reason was that I'm really reluctant to leave my mentors and teammates.
Woke up at 7.15am. Heehee :X
Did the necessary things.
Then went to assemble at the 'hall'.
Sat according to classes.
Breakfast.

Clear up.
We cleared one of the guys' dorm.
I helped to fold blankets, bedsheets and a few pillow cases.
We all tried doing it fast so that we can spend more time with our mentors.
Went back to the 'hall' to assemble.

We had group time.
I was rushing through the letter but time was a constrain.
I wrote 2 lines of the foolscap paper in my puny handwriting.
Could have written more if there was enough time.
Dwight told us how he felt of us.

Group photos.
Mr Glenn Lim talked to us awhile and we went off.

In the bus I read the notes and I really just let the tears just flow.
:/

That's it for the camp.

I think the chorus of this song would describe the whole thing:

Someone's Watching Over Me
Hilary Duff

VERSE 1

I found myself today,
Oh I found myself and ran away,
something pulled me back,
Voice of reason I forgot I had,
All I know is your not here to say,
What you always used to say,
But it's written in the sky tonight

CHORUS

So I won't give up,
no I won't break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong,
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe,
someone's watching over me

VERSE 2

Seen that ray of light,
and it's shining on my destiny
shining all the time
and I won't be afraid
to follow everywhere it's taking me
all I know is yesterday is gone
and right now I belong
to this moment, to my dreams

CHORUS

So I won't give up,
no I wont' break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
someone's watching over me

BRIDGE what does it mean

It doesn't matter what people say
and it doesn't matter how long it takes
believe in yourself and you'll fly, high,
and it only matters how true you are
be true to yourself and follow your heart

CHORUS
So I won't give up,
no I wont' break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe...

That I won't give up,
no I wont' break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even when it all goes wrong
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe....

that someone's watching over

Someone's watching over

Someone's watching over me

Someone's watching over me

Beautiful Soul

2010-01-05T17:15:00.004+08:00

ON CAMP FROM 06/01/10 - 08/01/10 .
Heehee, see you soon guys! (:

Christmas

2009-12-25T18:22:00.008+08:00

Merry Christmas! (:

Christmas this year really marks a very significant one.

Went down to Aljunied MRT with my brother.
Then he left to somewhere else.
XiuYing saw my brother. (:
She said that we looked alike.
Haha.
Met MeiYin this morning. Gave her the gift.
Went for lunch.
Merry Christmas-ed to a lot of people.
Some took the initiative, while for some, I took the initiative.
Kind of funny.
Went home around 5.15pm.

First time spending Christmas.
That feeling has been missing for so many years, and finally found it.

-

Glad that Annabelle has taken my advice and listened to me.
Cheer up alright, you'll not walk this path alone as He'll be there with you through thin and thick.

Double The Joy

2009-12-20T11:11:00.006+08:00

Photo from MeiYin!

Hello!

It's really a joy to help others.

Went for Carol Guni yesterday!
Contributed 7 can food.
Haha, I tried my best to contribute as much as I could.
The weather was great.
Not too hot, not too cold.
Just nice.

Took another route yesterday due to the insufficient amount of people in the other group so we were asked to join the other group.
The houses there were HUGE.
But what's the point of having such a humongous house and having to take so long just to answer the doorbell?

Did lots of caroling.
The kids there were cute.
Aww.
Our group managed to collect 191 can food with the help of the residents.
Yay!
The total number of can food collected (plus other groups) was 571.
The perspiration and the tiredness were really worth it.

I really believe that everyone has a little compassion in their heart.

-

Anyway, I planned to take bus 100 home yesterday but kind of tired so asked dad to pick me up from Aljunied MRT Station. So I took a train down from Kallang. Slept around 11.45pm.

Oh yes, as you can see, my title.
Something else made me way happy too! (But not as happy as collecting can food)
Not going to tell you.
I feel like collecting it on 28/12.
But not free on that day, got something on...
Howhowhow?

-

We did sharing(s) yesterday.

The questions were somewhat like that:

Have you ever received a special gift?
What is that special gift?
Is it still around?

Yup.
So what I shared with my group was about the trust my brother gives me.
Really, it is indeed special to me.
It may seem minute to others but its special to me.
I believe in having mutual trust with the opposite party.
Once we have mutual trust, it'll be easier to confide in one another.

Sheltered

2009-08-14T12:19:00.003+08:00

See that bear up there with a pink thermometer and 2 plasters :D

Cute huh.

Anyway I'm still sick -.-

Down with bad flu and mild sore throat.

My eyes are so teary that it is going to drop out anytime.

Woke up at 9 today.

I had a really nice sleep after taking the medicine.

It's like sleeping pills.

I took the cough syrup, panadol, and some weird medicine for my flu.

My flu is really getting on my nerves.

Hope to recover ASAP.

Thank you Kah Min and Xin Er for such concern (:

I appreciate that.

Hate being sick.

It restricts me from lots of activities. D:

I know Kah Min is missing me :X:X:X

Hehehehe.

Take Time

2009-07-28T19:12:00.004+08:00

Take time to think
it is the source of power
Take time to play,
it is the secret of perpetual power
Take time to read,
it is the foundation of wisdom
Take time to pray,
it is the greatest power on earth
Take time to love and be loved
it is a god given priviledge
Take time to be friendly
it is the road to happiness
Take time to laugh
it is the music of the soul
Take time to give
it is the joy in life

I forgot what I wanted to type.
Oh yes, my parents took away cable.
Sigh.
So borrowed DVDs to watch :D
Currently watching Forenstic Heroes
It's incredibly nice!
You guys should watch :D
I found a cool word.
It's called 'Para Bombay'.
It's also known as the type of blood, A.
Also, it is the rare-est type of blood.
Cool right? :D

Oh and recently went to watch Ice Age III with my brother.
Really really nice.
The new series of Harry Potter is also nice.
Better than most of the previous series.

Went for choir today.
I was super tired before and after it.
Woke up so early, slept so late.
Slept in class when the teachers weren't in.
There were FOUR maths period today.
I was SUPER bored.

I'm so tired ):
I better rest then continue with my work.

Never mind LOREN(:
After exams then go out on a shopping spree :D
Not really shopping just going out.
