ho-ho-ho, here we go

hello world:)

i just got back from jac's house - MAHJONG! with like mama chicken, hweets and jacy:) haha okay its mahjong not MAHJONG! ok cause like if my parents see MAHJONG! they wont be too happy. haha. im in the i-love-the-world-and everything's-that-is-happening-mood now because things are really going great. dad helped alot by sending me up and down for the whole of today, that makes everything so much better esp in a rainy rainy season:) i worked on math for like 3 hours (!!) before receiving hwee's msg! hurrah! so dad and I took a drive to kensington park then we dinnered nearby then it was to jac's house. we played for like 4 hours till we were kinda groggy. but it was so fun!everyone, hwee shouted at jac's sister. tsk tsk tsk naughty hwee. then dad gave hwee and mc a lift home:) and on the way back my dad randomly started talking about toads. and suddenly we spotted a car which seriously looked like a toad. omgosh it was hilarious.

other highlights this week would be the band chalet at east coast and the Christmas gathering at my place:) we cycled so much and i was so slow i ended up cycling with dafril only (haha that makes him slow too) although like a million people were cycling/blading. danny (senior class) suddenly appeared next to me on his skates because he spotted me from somewhere else.managed to catch up with him quite a bit till we parted! ill never forget how nice an angel Danny was because he gave me super alot of gifts and thank goodness he was normal and nice and vj-ish haha:) Christmas dinner at my place was ...how should i put this... magical? my secret santa was Jac!!! hahaa yay. Photos!

hwee's all-time great muffins!!

we look like we're going for a picnic!

polaroids are a blast:)

Mum's chocolate cake which i love so:)
Merry Christmas everyone!:)

i wont say i havent had my share of low moments this holidays as well and its funny because even though the rest of my friends have their own very different set of lives, we all have troubles like that which are parallel in terms of its share of tears, headaches and worries... yet very good lessons learnt.:)

even though ill be studying for the next couple of days, im actually starting to panic because i realised i havent done alot of things an anxious j2 should be doing.. more than 2 months has become less than 2 weeks ><>

Something interesting for you:)

Anonymous: ay actually come to think of it, everyday's quite happening till Christmas Day itself- i like have nothing on on Christmas Day.

Me: haha me something like that.

i realised this is pretty common with everyone! funny!

when crazy takes on a new meaning

reverse this whole day please. =(

the aftermath of NSSN and as usual after something you prepare for something and its over, your heart is heavy and you wake up feeling wasted. ok please tell me you feel the same sometimes. even though we suppered and i reached home feeling really tired and already a little sad, i still could not help but unpack my stuff and read all the letters and notes. This is nearly the best part of every concert i have because what people remember and say always impress me and make me laugh and you end up really happy:)

but i guess after i woke up today and went about life as usual, i realise there's been a hole somewhere somehow because of my lack of participation in other areas of my life. :( i quarrelled badly with someone and i cant take it anymore but stay away, honestly,this time i feel like i just want to not care about it anymore but things dont turn out right the more you do it this way. i havent had a serious argument since quite a long time ago, in fact i cant remember the last time any of this happened. im sincerely hoping time heals. this time round. ive reached the stage i rather not say anything to savage the situation, but trust me its not good. hiyah. i feel ive just hit the rock bottom of a good period of time and honestly, ive been wondering when this time would come.

i guess things have been too good for too long. but pray, pray and pray!

update

hello! i was supposed to come online not to blog but just to do other stuff, but i found that i just had to, if not ill just be lost in my own world. I believe that no matter how busy one is, its always important to reach out to your friends and not be submerged in your own world because you might never know, they may be more concerned than we think and we shouldnt keep that distance growing between us just because of differing hectic schedules.:) yay, i just convinced myself im not wasting time or anything:)

this week and the last part of last week have been absolutely crazy, i met up with class girls for dinner and then drinks but now i feel i havent met up with them for ages again! anyway, like what anthea says, what we really look forward to the start of school are the canteen sharing sessions! then it was section outing where i got sunburnt because we were cycling in the thick of the heat on a very sunny day. at night i went for Philwinds at Esplanade with the band peeps and i must say even though i was semi-dreading it and something else as well (haha phy), it turned out REALLY REALLY good, im so impressed with the pianist and things actually turned out beautifully.


we had such a lovely time and i met alot of ac friends i havent seen in years so we talked and reminisced. ahhh. anyway, i cant really remember what else i did because its been just so many things, dont worry i have it all written in my little book so that i remember how my holidays went. haha oh yes, christmas shopping! and hanging out quite alot with my mum and sister. yay:)

haha taken with my sister's new camera. yay.

besides all these news, i guess the most important will be that i have decided to lay off contacts for at least a month.:) so if you guys see me in spectacles, dont be surprised! and yes, i used to wear contacts. haha! this is what happened: I decided to stop usage of my hard/ RGP contacts (this helps to stabilize/reduce your degree of myopia) slightly more than a week back because my vision in the left eye was blur. I thought it was just that i didnt wash it properly throughout the months so i didnt think much about it. But i prayed about it yay Thank God and somehow my mum and I just felt i shouldnt wear it anymore but go see the optician. Thank God my mum also insisted i go to see her eye doctor for a super thorough 3 hour eye check as well just in case. so i went yesterday and hola, ive got this condition called GPC. It sounds damn gross and serious > Giant Papillary Conjunctivities, but luckily mine was discovered in a quite early stage. plus i stopped contact lens usage for more than a week already so its healing :) even though its safe to just stop usage for about 1 plus weeks more, i think ill play safe and not wear it for about 1 month more. yup the only setback is that my myopic level might increase more than usual since its not under control of the RGP lens. anyway, this condition is apparently quite common and is not really visible to yourself becauses its under the surface of your upper eyelid, and who flips their eyelids right, so yea be careful if you are a contact lens wearer!

ok lastly, jiayou to all vj band members! this is the last stretch, dont be discouraged even though __________. this is going to be the last few days we work with the sec 4s too, esp those who arent coming here to pursue your academic interests, we will miss you! haha all the best for this thurday's PAE and its really funny because i think im going to be as nervous as you all are when we all go to the comp labs to check hee.

ok FINALLY, come for NSSN! its going to be a sincere christmas token from all of us haha. contact me for more tickets!:)

love, meiyi!:)

today was so great because i woke up super early - 9.20. thanks to eric's money message. early but still late enough. thank goodness i managed to reach school at 9.55. haha! had a serious good laugh for skit prac. honestly, i love band now haha and i dont want to spend my time doing any other stuff (excluding religious things of course) ! what a pity i still have the rest of my life to live. haha okay thats a lie. i love life for now, just that i think im becoming more intolerant of people who irritate me etc. which is really bad, like i was telling char, i need to be more tolerant and gracious towards people im not that close to and try and empathise with them when they do certain things i cant comprehend. I was super high today with my spectacles haha because everyone kept calling me tai tai and copying my shift-specs-up action. beatrice was also high, she kept looking at me and laughing during rehearsal and so was benjamin, because he kept going about how i looked like someone i should not mention, since im under a bribe HAHA. and we kept talking and talking gosh i havent talked so much since... a few days ago. haha. had lunch and my table had like char, enghwee, furby, kaikeng and ziyang gosh we were so lame and sigh, im going to miss these times really!after band i left with annabelle to meet class girls at TOGi and yay finally we meet up:) had dessert then headed home with jac. hehe jac! oh tomorrow ants and xinlin are coming to my place for ECONS TUITION yes what a bummer but yea, i guess its really time to start!

and on friday im going cycling with percussion dears and then evening its off to the esplanande for Philwinds Concert. uhhum i dont know why but this is the first time im in the i-want-to-go-but-at-the-same-time-not-really mood for this friday evening. sigh. alot of reasons alot of history. i shall not go on.

anyway...
Christmas gathering at my place! im making the Turkey ah remember! 20th DEC! woots!

a meaningful week

i stole collages from anthea's and abc's blog respectively. pictures from our outing 2 weeks ago, which i didnt have time to blog about :))

on wednesday we had sectionals, warm ups lasted throughout, even though most of the time we girls were being trashed upside down by our dear section leader matthew, it didnt seem that meaningful during the thing itself, but after that it actually was. he said that even when playing simple semiquavers, we shouldnt look to the end of the phrase bar by bar (4 sets of semiquavers) a.k.a. playing horizontally, but we should be impartial to each and every single stroke and play vertically. in addition, words of wisdom from chiawen's blog: Busy-ness or amusement isn't the goal in life. It is doing what counts, one activity at a time.

i guess sometimes we are so caught up by whats at the end we live everyday not valuing it, its really not worth it and thats why "time passes so fast" because at the end of everything, we wonder what happened to all the time passed in the middle of the whole journey we took.

anyway, today was the stan chart marathon! im so grateful for His sustenance throughout because i had stitches (yes, unfortunately i did have) and quite bad ones actually which started quite early into the race. in addition, insufficient training + the heavy leg syndrome was down upon me today. extremely unlucky but i guess thats what made the whole race my own. jean and i were tested mentally and we were really thankful we made it:) we sprinted the last 100m to the FINISH line and then we smiled:))) i saw a couple of veejay photographers, not mark though, odacers!- jac and d, and phy who was the road marshall. i also saw sarah and lydia soo while running! oh yes and we met stef yee and valerie. hehe the adidas photographer also took a photo of me and jean so ill upload it here once they upload it! standard chartered is such a great experience and i'd love to join again next year, but it really depends on whether we can make it after our A levels!
christmas shopping yet again (okay today was my gazillionth day already i think) and i bought another new dress:) met aunt liz for lunch then headed for music class. saw mark leong, joel, aravind and gabriel ( i think) and a lot of random people.

im so tired now, but im so hyped up to do math. wow!
