Saturday, 27 December 2008

I forgot to tell you i got scolded badly by someone on Christmas Eve, just cause i got caught up so badly in Christmas and missed out on something for this person, hmmmph (consequences not dire at all from whatever perspective i take)! Funny thing is, this was the worst scolding i got since a long time, plus it wasnt from a loved one or family (my family or real friend would never say such things to me) and not surprisingly, i couldn't remotely care ( or at least care more than i do) . Being one to defend my opinions rather fiercely, saying whatever wasnt like me at all and kinda dampened the spirits of that person. C'mon its christmas DONA NOBIS PACEM, peace to the world, quit being angry man.

and to the strange people adding me on facebook - i usually send out a message to those whose names do not ring any bell in my head, however dense the holidays make it - "Im sorry, i dont think i know you, but then again my memory is quite bad" - IF WE ARENT FRIENDS, the most logical answer you should give A: "oops sorry, wrong person!". acceptable B- "ok i get it, sorry to trouble!". Wrong answer C: "hmmm, was thinking if we could make friends after this?" Totally unacceptable answer D: "Is that a problem? too atas ah?".
ok i could actually do this catalogue, because all these answers really did come back to me. Actually, you can try any of this, you wont get a reply nor an accept. Facebook > Friendster for a reason!

Cheers to the holidays, and hopefully everyone, including me, keeps growing brains!=D

"You sound like someone who travelled 100 miles to get a bottle of beer"

There are 12 days of Christmas, because its to give people 12 chances to discover the real meaning of Christmas:)
Some throw it away already on Christmas Eve and ignore the generous 12 chances, while others settle down during the period and finally come to realization when its nearly over, but at least tis's better.

I chose to use this Christmas to show those I really love, how i really feel.
Christmas Eve was dedicated to my treasured friends, whom without which, i wouldn't be wherever i am now. My favourite girls who have been a constant source of support for me in, and out of school- thank you for all the gifts i really love them=D ; My peers in my third home haha vjcsb, you guys have seen nearly all sides of me, (i think this hols cap it all hmmm), and i know i can be real whenever im with you all:)
Christmas Day and Boxing Day was dedicated to Christ, above all, followed by family:)
Church-time was a time of solemn reflection for me and attempting to articulate what im really looking for in this new lease of spiritual life:) it was followed by the first party we had at home - for relatives and it was good re-uniting with cousins who came down from KL and Australia for the occasion!
Boxing Day was for party number 2, for my sister's friends and of course, her friends also somewhat become my friends cuz i ended up wii-ing with them and being photographer and joining them for dinner. haha the capacity keeps increasing, sister 15 is the max please!!Went to Ikea for lunch and shopping in the morning, and OH, my parents rearranged the house for the new year and its sooo much more comfy now:)
okay although its the 3rd day of Christmas and Boxing Day is over, i havent even finished opening all my presents, i havent even combed the Christmas tree... something i have always done rather religiously in the last few years...

I only just opened a Christmas card today and this friend said this to me- that he'd always be there to keep keeping my secrets and drinking for me - even though he made me sound like this rebellious, split personality scary girl, im really thankful i actually have friends like this, even though he will be kinda stuck in camp for like 1 month and 9 months. hahaha, ok looking forward to your bookouts!


If there's another thing im really happy about, its the weekend :)
What's going to keep us going, is what we've always had, so we have nothing to worry about.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE:) and remember, there are still 9 days left:)

Monday, 22 December 2008

It was the last day of term, and actually, the last day of school.
Then he said at the end of the congratulatory speech -

"okay, its time for...all your secrets."

Im waiting for the Town Council to come collect certain items we've thrown out while clearing up for Christmas...I kind of took it upon myself, a sorta responsibility i assumed since Ive been out everyday and now that all my sisters are busy out, i thought i should volunteer to stay at home at least till 4... sorry Vera! haha:) Im sorrier Pinrui, Jared and Ally haha today's plans all got cancelled. oh well!

I have missed spring cleaning at home and wasn't even there to see the Christmas tree put up and all the decorations. Im not organising any party for my friends this year, although my sis still is, and im not sending out any Christmas cards...Im only giving out some gifts to a select few, which i haven't had the discipline yet
to sit down to complete...ah!

The holidays have been really fantastic, and i finally understand the difference between 18 and the years before that. The nights are always young and missing the last bus has become quite normal. Still, i think its important to know what's good and bad for yourself and so I have made a couple of resolutions i'd stick to, no matter what. My parents have been ultra supportive of my lifestyle now, interestingly, and im not allowed to look for any more jobs or take up any more short term contract jobs, which i was really into, the period right after the As.
Its beautiful to be young like that because you are allowed to make mistakes and dismiss it as recklessness of youths when we look back, we are allowed to shape our own lives because we are proactive and strong enough, yet we are kept s
afe because of family and loved ones and faith.

I love being young, ill treasure being young forever!

Photo's from Daryl's (big) house White Party :)

and you know what, i really appreciate parties like that, because the guys actually help out with preparing food and thats really how you get to bond, not like they assume girls have all the kitchen skills just cuz we are female, okay shant say anymore, my feministic side is surfacing!
Im going to miss the boys so much when early January comes, ahhh:(

Thursday, 18 December 2008

take me away

I wish i could just fly away for quite abit now, I need my solo adventure now, not in January or March, i need it now. Since thats nearly impossible, i guess its equivalent to wearing Harry Potter's invisible cloak when I travel, or perhaps even disposing of the handphone for a day or two, the more the merrier - also equally impossible.

Ok ok it will be all over soon, Christmas is coming soon (please come sooner than a week!).

Tuesday, 16 December 2008

im in the sacrificial mood now because i just remembered what Chara told me when i met up with her on friday. Chara Lum Ying Ying, whom i invited for Majestia in May this year, came and couldnt find her ticket - my classmates were supposed to leave it at the booth under their names, so that when she came late, she could collect it to enter. Alas, she couldnt find her ticket despite searching a thousand names she vaguely remembered me telling her- classmates, bandmates etc. So she spent the two plushours walking around Esplanade, getting me the chocolates (which i can still remember, and seem even dearer to me now!) and eating at Haagen Daz (where she kinda got cheated- $13 if you eat in (!!)). haha and poor eunice watched it alone. Funny thing is i didnt sense anything after it because when i asked Chara how it was, she didnt really reply audibly, so i thought since she was a fellow player in another band, she thought it was bad or something! ok NOW I KNOW:)

aww, charrraaa im primary 2 friend till today- i love you!
and i just watched the thanksgiving episode on ellen's show i love it i love it and sorry hwee, but i like ellen! because she is rather cool. heh:)

oh yea, and because im in the sacrificial mood, dont question what im doing _______, really dont, just listen to me, thanks- i appreciate it, really.

I was so tickled yesterday when i received the email from Stan Chart, giving me the picture they took when i crossed the finishing line! technology is amazing, they trace the bib no to you and send it back to you. im impressed! but awww what a pity though, there wasn't that triumphant look spilled across my tired face, neither was i pathetically hopping over the electronic mat haha well, it was just normal. oh and no, im not putting it here! haha. Shan! you made me race with you the last few hundred metres ill never forgive you!!! anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAN, you're finally 18 ! whacks* haha.

Had a crazy and awesome day yesterday, met jessie and friends in vj at 9 plus, to check out the NSSN full-run, you guys are great cant wait for tmr!:D left early to meet Mr phua (HAHAH) and Anthea for lunch then met Hwee in town, walked around and i still cant find that ideal pair of heels ah! toffeenut at starbucks then went all the way to changi airport because Anthea wanted to say bye to her brother. we ate at POPeyes, planned our schedules then went back to parkway for bubbletea! My imagination is running wild Hwee and Anthea, i cant wait to plan a MASSIVE party HAHAHA.

On a more serious note, i cant believe i thought what i did yesterday, i mean, what is wrong with me! seriously! i was disappointed in myself for quite abit hwee! its precisely whatever i was thinking that would put our friendship at risk and no i would NEVER risk that for the WORLD. and i mean that! im going to have a blast, in my own way as i always do, and i wont let ANYTHING affect that!

tomorrow's going to be another whacky day, cant wait:) meeting up with CHARA! like finally glam queeen! ahha then im meeting the rest for dinner, then back to vj, oh and the world is really too small, majella's younger sis is performing tmr so ill see her and her family! hoping she doesnt shout "Woman" to me across the whole hall again, as she used to do back in SC!

last but not least, my heart goes out to all those awaiting the results of overseas university admissions tomorrow, i said a little prayer for you all this morning,
Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Can you smell the absoluteness in that statement, He SHALL, not he might, or consider. He Will, He Shall. Thats sufficient for us to tide over tonight, dears!

Advent

today's my FIRST DAY at home, without any plans later or tonight! YAYY! WHEE!! haha okay okay.

and thats only because i decided to recuperate at home and not visit my juniors busy preparing for concert today, sorry dears and thanks junsen for organising! even so, im so busy packing and packing, yes ok fine jastine im slowww ok, only just started packing my books and stuff after the big As! didnt flinch while throwing away ALL of southeast asia, the rest are so precious im passing them to gillian:) stacked them all into my storeroom and my room is so empty and clean now:) YESS! - i have no idea how people can complain they are bored, or that the holidays have been wearing them out, i have been living everyday to the fullest and i still have a list to go on with! I have also decided that i will postpone the start of my official job, since it would be stupid to start today then apply for leave for this friday and next wednesday that would really reflect badly!

Sunday's run was good, fulfilling for me, although i think Stan Chart should seriously STOP increasing the numbers to fill up the already over-populated routes. Seriously i think once you stop, (i didnt want to try), perhaps like 5 people will bang into you, yes thats how bad it is, it got better after like 4km though, when the people started spreading out. oh but the new route is mad but shiok, i think about 500m of upward slope, but thanks to Macritchie training, still managed to continue all the way, but i was really sad during that trying period because i lost lorraine jess, jean and shan during that time! thank goodness i met shan after that and then we ran tgt all the way after that:) If there is a secret i have, that is to be able to join the marathon, or run team next time im university, that shall be my goal! Marathons are actually more of a mental test than anything else, cant wait to run 21km next year!

Ok and then yesteday, i went with my mum to the tailor again, to make another 2 more dresses for christmas, cant wait to see them:) and yay thanks to hwee, she has reminded me to draw up our schedule for the coming weeks, so many things to do, and im even more excited, as we await for the birth of Jesus:))

We are in the midst of Advent, and I
CANT WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS, BLESSED DAY!

Friday, 5 December 2008

A midnight post, perfect:)


and when you're standing here in front of me, that's when i know God exists

life has been so beautiful and giving, there's nothing i can be more grateful for:)
No pictures or words can express how happy I am, the holidays are into its mere 2nd week, and i think it has already been my best holidays in my whole life so far! It has been really fulfilling and purposeful, i just updated my schedule of what i have done, and everyday is filled with variety but the bad side is that i have only spent ONE full day at home, which is quite sad, cuz i havent been able to fulfill my long-awaited dream of awaking without the alarm clock or when i feel like it, and i havent watched the tv for the whole day in my big shirt and shorts and just lounge around the house! haha i wonder when i can ever do that!

Prom was very good for me and am quite thankful i couldnt hear the negative comments spewed by a certain group of people (frowns at them*) and so were the activities after that - we went midnight swimming because meritus mandarin had a 24 hour pool and we had the whole pool to ourselves! service was fantastic too:) but the water was SO COLD annabelle and I were having locked jaws or something it was hilarious! crazy anthea, hwee and jac were bionic women they immediately started swimming! After that, we had about 3 to 4 hours of sleep, before jac, anthea and I woke up to go eat the macs breakfast, walking into a central district macs in our pajamas! haha seriously, it was a hilarious experience! checked out during the afternoon, headed home to pack up, before i went for my job interview! Was feeling quite whoozy halfway due to the lack of sleep but i survived it yay:) ok that was an interesting day and i think one of the best sleepovers i ever had, thank you girls so much:)

Met Jean to run at ECP yesterday before i introduced her to our vj favourite hangout PARKWAY! haha it was so funny because she was really amazed at how cheap the bubble tea was and the fact that they had small pearls! then she came over to my place and I had fun showing her my whole collection of photos gathered during these two years. she was right about how all of us went different ways yet we believe we all made the right choices:)

today was so busy yet again and tmr also, so i shall sign off now!

some things i missed mentioning:
class gathering, band outing and all the beautiful photos, jessie where are they!

and bye bye jac to australia, vera to vietnam! mc and annabelle are still overseas and anthea is going soon too! going to miss you girls sorely.

and i really miss char-char po, havent seen her since the last day of my arts paper :( enjoy yourself in Israel though, have a blessed church trip there, hoping we have telepathy here!:)

Pictures for now, more talk later,

Compliments

This is such a random topic i wonder if anyone has ever thought through it!

What do you think about paying compliments to people, (of course sincere ones) or do you even do it?
I think from young, my mother has always taught us to give compliments people to them when they deserve it, she says it takes the same humility as one to apologize to another.

A simple, "oh you look nice today!" makes one's day, trust me. For that very same reason, I do my best to not ignore what i think is nice in others. I mean if i didnt think it was worth any compliments, or i didnt even notice (haha knowing me:( of course i wouldnt say it, but i think more than not, there are always beautiful things to notice in others and the world around us. :) When someone takes pains to dress up, what's wrong with telling them look good? It doesnt demean your own looks, and in fact i think i really respect those who have the grace to do so.

Ok, another group of people to add to my list of role models:)
God is great because He blessed us with so many different people all around, all to learn lessons from.

and Happy birthday dearest Phoebe! You'll probably be busy preparing for your dance concert, sorry i wont be there! <3

I have been having so many long days out, this morning was killer i couldnt get out of bed at all, my limbs were all plastered to the bed seriously and had to skip Macritchie for today. But yes mam lorraine (ahha) I am keeping fit because I purposely came home early to change to go to east coast to run, i clocked eternity just for 7km sigh! And i was just telling my sister about my new plan to stop eating stuff thats gonna slow me down next week and was telling her how i think i detest barbeques all of a sudden and sigh i just realised we are going to have one on Sunday. There goes my dear plan!
Okay okay, stay positive is what i have to keep telling myself!

And yes, lets do pray for the tumultous terrorist and political situation in India and Thailand respectively, PEACE.

to my good buddies

reading Lorraine's post has made me think.
yes indeed, we have arrived.
and that arrival doesn't need a triumphant celebration with a few bottles of wine, but just a
quiet recognition.
A quiet recognition that will stay in your heart, a quiet recognition that will not lose any of its worth in years to come. its not a momentary friendship, its not a transient joy, its something that is always there, and there are never ever any stop signs ahead, nor do i forsee ourselves picking up from where we've left, because there's nothing we've left behind, we just have to keep going, and
I am happy to do so.
Im glad you are too.

to each and every one of my friend out there and reading this, i really treasure you as a friend and even if we mayn't reply to any sms/fb comment/2007 Christmas letter, you are always in my heart and the memories we have ever created are kept sacred:) and dont feel bad if we have 'drifted' part because i guess God created so many millions of people for a reason:)

continue enjoying this blessed holidays!

love, meiyi

Post - A levels: Wednesday
Cookies baked during prelims and As to destress.

Lorraine if you are reading this, are your thighs aching as bad as mine?
i feel like im walking on two sore mechanical instruments!
i must recover soon soon so that i can hit my "50 min lor!" aim for stan chart. and yes lorraine ok thats a joke, ill aim for an hour ok! and yes mama if, you're reading this, rock-climbing is supposed to be on monday hahah.

Macritchie was really effective and like what jessica said, very shiok! our breakfast and talk about life was really really nice and heartening:) love you guys and wont ever forget the sec school memories yes yes:) i believe memories from 4 or 2 years ago, no matter how old can co-exist!:)

Woke up at 6 to go and okay quite crazy i know but catching the morning hours when you know all your friends are still in bed esp those suffering from hangover and all, PUI! sorry my bad if im being cynical and traditional, but really, cant stand all the weird facebook photos and all, if you guys want to live these kind of lives i dont think its any worth publicizing/ showing them off. As if it wasnt enough the world's going down already. ok end of rant dont worry i doubt they will see this, but if you do, uhh i still love you just that i dont condone the fb-ing part at all. Plus i cant stand the new fb because they show you random people's comments to each other which is so strange because you kind of naturally read it before knowing its not yours!

Anyway, i've applied for many many jobs, i must go and enjoy myself before they all start flooding me and then ill have to work day and night! Dont mistake me, i cant wait to work really, although my sisters are just telling me im going regret starting so early.

oh YES I HAVE BEEN COOKING dinner for my family ever since As ended:) and have been cleaning my house inside out I AM SO PLEASED:) im like the family maid now i guess this is good experience to see if i can be a domestic care-taker haha freee internship:) didnt take photos of the meals though but these are the dishes i have cooked.

1) Fried omelette with tomatoes (learnt from home econs in sec 2)
2) Fried Cabbage (no need to learn)
3) Chicken rice

ok thats all. haha the rest of the dishes were topped up by my mum:)

going out with jessie, eh and kaikeng tmr before mahjong! cant wait.
and Yes, im starting on Christmas presents heheheh:)

see you guys around, and have a fantabulous, clean, purposeful holiday!!

Part of our success that never ends!

You cant believe how proud I am of everyone who has endured the worst exams we've ever had so far:) I think we are so ready for our future. okay that sounds way too optimistic haha but hey i think we all really deserve a break and boys especially go enjoy enjoy ok while the girls, we can take our time:))

Before self-gratification, im going to dedicate today 20th November 2008 of my personal day of Thanksgiving!! So many things to be grateful for, above all,

  • My dearest Daddy God who has really been my BEST FRIEND forever, really, I felt His friendship especially when worries couldn't be put into words or smses to friends or when i just couldn't think anymore. He was there at 11pm before my Maths paper, when i was wondering how i could fly 5 grades up, He was there when i was cramming history into my head, wondering if i was the only A-level student studying at the real 11th hour, He was there when i couldnt group my facts together during the paper, when my brain gave way to panic. And Hey, to make sure how i'll never forget this, He was standing right next to us along the small corridors we were separated by fellow exam-mates. He was always there for me, and i just want to give back this season and for as long i can ever put into words now.
  • My teachers; I know all of you were always just downstairs in the staffroom and i could always call you all up when i needed help! Thank you Mrs. Koh, Mr. Harris, Miss Chia, Miss Low, Mr. Khoo, Mr Sayers,Mrs Ting and Mr Lum for marking a gazillion last minute practice essays and giving me emergency consultations (miss chia and mr sayers!) Special thanks to Mr. Lum for sending me my essay to my doorstep you really shocked me but i was really touched and then i promised to get that A for Econs! haha. i was saying yesterday that teachers were the next best treat besides coming into Vj alone. thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou:)
  • My earthly angels who were always always always here for me:
  1. My dear parents who have been absolutely supportive and tolerant of my weird quirks especially the last two weeks, and for sending me up and down.
  2. My dear sisters who kept me on the ball and always reminding me of what my future would be like and that studies was never really the most important thing, although it may seem so haha.
  3. My sisters and brothers-in-christ: Chia wen, Jon Muk, Phoebe, Charissa, My Mummy, Steph- thank you for taking down the dates of all my papers and even if we needn't sms/ talk, i know that every blessed evening and morning, there was always someone praying for me:) Thank you soooo much..
  4. Seniors: Sidney, Christa and Steph for always cheering me up and counselling me hahaha
  5. Juniors! Exco juniors and just all of you around for flooding me with good wishes and luck and all the bestest things in the world:)
  6. My study partners: for helping me stay away from the track i took during O'levels. Oh no the names are gonna flood here because im going to attempt to PUT EVERYONE'S NAMES HERE because directly/ indirectly, you helped to create the most conducive environment for studying in school:), First and foremost there's my dearest Mouse Annabelle, who has always been there for me when i forget mynotes or things and dates and time and whatever not. We were hardcore and we meant it when we hit the books from 8am to 9pm! Library study-mates: Charissa, Beatrice, Pearlyn, Daniel, the s41 smart people who helped me solve so many problems- Eric, Chunhan; band people Dafril, Eric, Pin Rui! Classroom people: Veralyne, Ethel, Phoebe, Jastine thank you so much for keeping things up and cheery:) oh oh oh the people who always bought food for me! okay i shall confess that for every day i have studied in school, i have NEVER bought my own lunch and dinner okayy. thats how great you guys were! : Ethel, Shannon (beef noodles) Nicholas Kang, Freddie fredex, Sufiyan! hhaa, oh no i cant spell your name Deru? Dhiru? hahaha okay okay you know how thankful i am for you people cycling to east coast/ parkway in the midst of studying to buy yummy delicious food back! Miss Jansy for tirelessly calling for orders from Thaipan or the hawker and for sorting out messy orders sometimes.
  7. Class girls for always helping me out when i needed help, and all the funny,sweet messages we shared in the wee hours of the night. I really am thankful for you all! thank you tricia for faxing me things ive lost or need thank you so much!
  8. My dearest SC girls who have been with me since like secondary school and although we've not seen each other for ages (besides lorraine and shan:)) we can still message and im still laughing and falling off my chair imagining you girls saying all those things in your amazing voices and all our wonderful memories flood back. Special mention goes to lorraine , for meeting up with me to run during the study period, shan for all the funny smses and calls, jill for always making me look forward to meeting up with you hahaha, MAJELLA TAY who i'd say is Marvellous Tay haha in all her last minute studying tactics and crazy antics you always pull and never fail to crack me up. its true when they say, you'll feel like you're on top of everything when you have old friendships to fall back on, and new ones to show you how far you have come <3>

Okay these were the most important things i wanted to articulate, the rest will be kept safe in my heart, so if i missed you out, dont worry:))

Okay the next section is about things i would really have wanted to do better in school, not exactly regrets but since i cant think of an euphemism yea its just regrets then:(

  1. Spending more time with my dearest class 07A13, and this i mean, the WHOLE class. okay you got what i mean:/ its okay because we've got memories of our 1st 3 months and i can dare say it was really PERFECT. <3>
  2. Spending more time with my dearest section im so sorry if i was with the exco and tae and all and i always seemed to put you guys in the backseat!
  3. Being quite unfeeling to some individuals and i have no idea how to make it up, hmm ill figure a way out okay. I think i tried my best but obviously it wasnt enough, really, my bad here.

OKay oKay i really got stuff off my chest here!

im so lousy my legs are hurting alr and i havent even embarked on our cycling marathon, rock wall, tree-top walks, hill climb etcetc. gotta go recuperate!

you take care!:)

:)

We're in the midst of it.
The engine's getting cold
and the fuel's running low,
but school life has still been there for me and im thankful for it.
Burn away all the unproductive moments and burn away all the distractions and there you have it-
what you really need.
So many things to say, but i know if ill do, i'll kill myself thereafter and perhaps if anyone chances upon this, they'd kill me in school tomorrow too.

Cheers and thanks to all the people who've taken care of me and ball (mouse)- all the dinners from east coast, parkway, or miss jansy (ill you miss you alot:)) and all the lifts home:) thanks to those who've never ceased to be there for me during this period of time- i love you char po, phoebe, mouse and ethel:)! , class girls (even though i havent seen your for ages except during papers haha i know you are always a phonecall or sms away, thanks to all my new friends who've helped me discover another side of me and another side of vj. funny because school's supposed to have ended but not so, at least for me:)

love school, and funnily, im quite excited for all the papers ahead to come!

finally thanks to this bookmark i have right in front of me on my desk -
"Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the Lord is with you wherever you go."
- Joshua 1:9.

To all the bad papers, you're HISTORY! I shall not be afraid of the future also because i know my Best will be enough, even if its not enough for you , you, you and you, its enough for Him:) How wonderful!:)

take a chance on ... us :)





Farewell assembly yesterday was so memorable, everything seemed so perfect and it felt like orientation in j1 again. Somehow its funny to see how everyone has accepted everyone else for all the flaws we all have, and how different some may be from the rest. Perhaps from my single perspective, it may be biased and i do admit i dont think 100% of people in vj has loved it for what it has to offer. But hey, looking at my circle of friends and their friends and all the overlapping sets haha i beg to differ man. i mean really, when it comes to sports or arts, events and cheering and going out and trying to get those grades, climbing the roof (oops) and burning midnight oil with thaipan and all the people with BIG personalities i love you all man and i love everything that happened, even those not so memorable because it definitely taught me valuable lessons. I think some poeple have mixed feelings about leaving vj, saying they dont mind moving on too, again i beg to differ. unlike my schools of institution, i think jc has really been a different experience of me, and i guess the most me as well. but maybe its because of the us in it. :) im going to miss school so much and all the things we did when we were young and childish. i mean we cant really be childish in uni anymore right people will seriously think we are stupid sighh:) esp with the smarty-pants dragon boys ( haha vera and i agreed 'dragon boys' really sound like they are gonna take over the 'horse girls')! anyway 2 years is JUST TOO SHORT and we dont care but we are gonna recreate some of those things once again, after our As ok:)


like how 2 years is just too short, the last day of school was too short too, didnt manage to take pictures with so many people because we were with our class most of the time, but as a class, we did take loads of photos! also, reading my testimonial was rather emotional too because it was nearly unbelievable how i could seemingly do all those, its when you look back and then you are even more thankful for Him who was always walking with me and how He guided our hands and hearts to do all those things. Indeed, All glory goes to Him.
ill leave with a parting note, to those discouraged by their results, dont give up on yourself like how our school says they wont, on us! and to those who did well, press on, you'll get where you want cfm:)
A......ONE THREE! <3

hooked

im hooked on the crazy song we heard during the Mamma Mia movie:
"Dont... go... wasting your emotions, lay all your love on me..."

i realised i have a VERY bad habit! when im hooked on a song, i go source out all the different versions and arrangements of the song and then do this mini evaluation of all to see which is the "best" and sometimes i find myself cringing at the tacky chord progressions etc. trust me, it is rather addictive but time consuming.

anyway, anthea no worries, the version of the song on your iPOD is DA BEST!! :))

i also happen to really agree with my mum that the songs of the past were actually so much more meaningful than today's music. i mean really, after following "dont forget the lyrics" rather religiously (hahaha), i think the lyrics were not as repetitive as today's pop music and more often that not, each verse at least had some different flavour. i think that credit can only go to a few today. i mean, look at Jason Mraz, he does wordplay and then everyone goes gaga! (not that i dont support him but yea you get the gist).

back to mugging!!

history

history will always be history, it just depends on how faded the memory is.
I remember letting go a ton sometime ago, making sure I wouldnt ever look back upon it. Now that was hard and now and then I still wonder what would have happened if I didnt let the 'ifs' happen. Whatever beliefs I held true then, still hold true now, and im so thankful God gave me the sufficient grace and strength to come to my senses.
History will always be history, and those long stories i would have told some but not all, slowly fade into nothingness. It is next time when i look back, that I know ill be so proud of myself, that i know i did the right thing!

Cheers to memories!- of which some of it, we should just let go.

IT'S MINE!

im so tired, physically - i feel like an injured bird really, the balls of my foot hurt, the product of days walking around too much, not exactly in very comfortable shoes.
wanted to join the physics/bio people celebrating todayy but ah once again, im so sorry, but just too tired! promise ill be back in action soon, give me a day! :)

have been thinking of making a list of everything i want after watching oprah's show on the earth-person law of attraction thing that is actually pretty interesting. IT'S MINE!
its probably easy to think "it's mine!" if all we have to do is answer mcq questions or something, not that im being jealous, since i admit i really cant do science/ math or stuff like that. counted for my sister, realised that lit/hist/econs people have 18 essays to write, and thats all that counts for our grading man. having said that i really have to say that literature at A level is indeed interesting but we all admit its tough man. like improving is intangible, and you can never replicate success in one assignment for sure in another. its this inconsistency (not just in grades but how you feel towards each poem/prose/drama) that worries me. not sure if i can pull it off when the real thing comes. the strange thing is that you got to have a certain aptitude towards the whole thing to be confident of having everything under your control and manipulating the strange content to your own ways and logical flow everytime. that certain aptitude certainly comes with certain people we already know, but it doesnt appear with everyone who just puts in hard work. those who put in hard work may attain in, but that success doesnt come with hard work all the time. oh well, thats the price we have to pay for doing something we really enjoy, although forcing us to appreciate content in just a few minutes isnt really very enjoyable. I really really think they ought to give all candidates like a compulsory 15 min to appreciate the strange thing first, before perhaps an hour for writing. I understand time is a discriminant in itself, but really even appreciating literature has to be in such a crazy rush?

Whatever it is, like what i told my CT during connect 2, i wont ever regret whatever grades i get because i believe that i enjoyed a super fulfilling school life (even though others would say we enjoyed too much:(, and did all the subjects that we love, even though we may not be the best at it, the only thing is to do your best and live like you should at 17/18!:))

CHEERS EVERYONE, happy celebrating!:))

here are a collection of my favourite photos of all time, and hwee's birthday:))

22.8.08 : Happy Hwee Day:)

We still came to celebrate Teachers' Day although we were all sure we couldnt finish studying in time for prelims! and I baked till late the previous night and ants and abc had to write so many cards! I think that calls for some celebration:)

P.S. We can jump really high eh! haha:)

I cant remember when this was taken but it was definitely during the period we were supposed to settle down to study, no we didnt become jaded at all! :)

the fun bbq albeit the overwhelming smoke:)

mouse and my organised cip! hmm, i wonder where it has gone to, hopefully they keep it for next year too:)

time for family photos!:)


in our dear second home:)
in our favourite New York:)

my dear exco and tae:)

more around school:)
just so little from UK and France,
New York!

And how our school never fails to remind us that indeed everything is possible with labour:)
i remember how worried i was on the day before school started (although for most of the cca people we probably settled in faster than the rest) how radical this shift from bukit timah to farr east would be haha. Leaving behind all the memories from our favourite hangouts - Stevens Road, Serene Centre - island creamery, RTC, Prata House, Guthrie House and Venezia, King Albert Park, Coronation Plaza, Waffle Town, Town, the delifrance at Chancery Lane, Dairy Farm (!!), all my old buses i used to take, 67, 154, 960, etc etc to somewhere so different! i guess all those fears were unfounded and I made the right choice, under the umbrella of my dearest Daddy God under whose Will is always mine to adhere to.
There is always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, but first we gotta work.

Should be signing off not long, in lieu of our favourite exams!

IT'S MINE! <3



"wow, so you're not that kind"

I get a little disturbed when people get to know me better and then they say "oh, so you arent that kind!". i get even more disturbed when people fail to qualify when they mean by that kind! haha.
i mean i remember how some people always told me i wasnt like a typical SCGS girl, but... really? what a shame! Im definitely not refined when eating/ sitting haha although vj skirts have taught me to (hopefully) haha. and then some will be "ooh, you're so typical!" especially my own friends from sc, ok so i guess that has refined my opinion on stereotypes being a non-constant as well.

with this point, i think i meant to get something else across.
i mean, it doesn't really matter how people view you, does it?
Just as long you stay true to yourself and your values, there shouldnt be any need to be angry at people who gossip about you, about people who criticise what you do, people who praise you for what you do. OK, Maybe these views can affect us, as it would affect any normal feeling human being, but it shouldnt be to such an extent that it disturbs our inner emotional equilibrium. Having said that, its also important to make sure your values are sound. Do you let people quickly shake them and leave you all fickle and undecisive? If that is, perhaps you havent really found yourself and that set of principles yet.

To tell you the truth, friends i really admire are those who have found that true set of principles that i personally agree with to, just havent found sufficient resolve to implement it. So to those who have found it ( I have 2 in mine, imagine, after so many years!), CHEERS TO YOU!
Today Oprah's show was giving CHEERS to those she admired and i found myself crying (so embarrassing ok!) everytime those people were surprised, just with simple cheers for their admirable actions.

Also, i think that really, the best way to speak for something, is to show it with actions. Its not easy, but really dont you think its the best? In fact it just disillusions one when someone else says one thing but never does that.

SO now, i would like to give CHEERS to both of you ( i think i told you before so yea :)), and to others who are sure they have found their principles, and are reading this. :)

wisdom, where art thou?

We need so much wisdom in our world today!

Really, I cant emphasize this enough!

***
Anyway, i really wanted to take a picture of our exam hall, because i think it was really awesome and so inspiring. But due to no electronic devices allowed at all, i could just be content with the sight of it. oh well, try to imagine this poster

at the back of the hall flooded with classroom tables.

Awesome isnt it? :) the poster is much larger upfront also and the words seem more penetrating since its the only words you can see upon entrance into the hall. Thank you people who thought of putting this up! :) Hopefully it will still be there for As!

***

Today was also so so so good because we had such a good time - indulging in fat Carls Jnr burgers (haha leow!), both of us were suddenly quiet for some time, because we were just trying to finish our meal, obviously to no success- after chewing for half an hour i still had the semblance of a burger left. ! and simply chilling in Starbucks, dinner and MAMMA MIA. mamma mia! wasnt it good man! Anthea, Jac Vera and I had SUCH a good laugh (amidst squeals and singing too haha) i tell you, go watch please! :) it was really funny when we spontaneously sang along during 'Super Trooper' and immediately the music stopped for narrative, which left us singing for 2 seconds, so embarrassing ok!

Some really funny things which happened today included:

a) Finding a mysterious packaged thing left by somebody but nobody in the bus and hwee and mc telling the driver, with minimal response. Mc also resorted to kicking it to see what was inside. hmmm!

b) talking about how we used to have centre parting when we were young and how amusing it would be if we still had it now, including forcing leow to demonstrate first HAHAHA.

c) walking around shopping for a long-sleeved shirt for someone and discovering what makes the difference between normal long-sleeved shirts and our 'daddys' shirts'.

some other really hilarious things happened, maybe its just the liberation of the numbing effect of exams. met jessie and teresa and some of their friends, both of them tried to call both leow and i on our phones, but to no avail, as usual, remember the deadly combination - Brown mouse and white mouse together!!! haha. together we are amazingly childish, amazingly blur, playful and we study at the same pace (slow) hahaha, boo! so when we want to get reliable info etc, we tend not to ask each other. also when we want to know what we are doing, we try not to hang around each other haha! the sad thing is that we didnt really discover it ourselves, but people told us! eee.

just engaged in highly moral and religious stuff in my mind, prevented my itchy fingers from typing anymore comments on the overladen blog though. so tired i should go sleep!:)

Our name is our virtue

its been strange seeing how extremely active people settle down and focus, but im thankful for so many role models around! indeed, nil sine labore!

anyway, its exactly 3 months to my first paper, and i cant say im prepared but at least i dont dread studying anymore like i used to, a timely mentality change!

another thing is how i really think VJ is such a wonderful school and i really thank God for the chance to be here especially since it was that close. I love being here because of the basic fact that they really care. I really get the vibe that no one gets left behind, so we arent elitist but all the teachers really try to help everyone to their best ability. I can imagine having tea with nearly all my teachers next time after As and talking about all the eventful things! We talk about everything esp with our lit teachers (hahaha) from shoes to people's attitude and ... well, the list is not exhaustive and so is my gratitude to them. I remember nearly snoring (or rather breathing really heavily, like in REM sleep or something hahaha) last year during _____ lesson and my teacher didnt do anything most probably because she knew i was all busy and stuff, so touching esp coming from _____!Especially since they actually called SBS to feedback about the pathetic bus service in the morning and YES they are gonna increase the frequency of the bus and make it a double-decker service!

Also ive seen friends being such great friends to others and i really am so happy im their friend too. Quite a few of cca friends have been 'grounded' to study outside the staff room everyday but then you see these other familiar faces hanging around, 'tutoring' them or basically keeping them company. its just so heartening:)

i forsee myself sitting on that creaky swing for quite some time in the next 3 months, internalising history, having family thaipan dinners with people at 'brain saturation point'. :)

Some pictures from Annabelle and my organised CIP! Im so proud we did it mouse!!:))
Happy Racial Harmony Day and National Day!


And, Happy birthday Jason and Annabelle: crazymouse101!! hahaha:)


More good times to come, and that includes sitting on that swing yea:)

last, indefinitely

i think studying can be done in the best way this way
- extremely productive but enjoyable as well.

if you're going to stress me out/make me unhappy, no chances there!
so you, please take it easy too and dont become so jaded and weird!

lets not forget the happy times everyone had and let the memories always be a constant support for all of us and everyone, the whole of vjc and the whole of singapore A-level people shall get through this together!!:))

Post- Hiatus till 16.09.08,

because i suspect the computer kills brain cells.

more photos from handover!







have been stuck on jason mraz's and colbie caillat's Lucky. at first i couldnt figure out her part but after i made up my mind to sing it and listen out really carefully, i realised her part really stood out! so nice! anyone (besides pin rui) who wants to try singing with me tomorrow? :))))

Saturday, 5 July 2008

lucky to have been where ive been

dont have much time, but definitely have time to say that im going miss them so much in the next few weeks. College day performance just seems to be a small compromise to let us off amd come back for awhile, but thats really the last!
Thank you all the wonderful gifts, and of course, the memories.

Handover 2008

Today during PE lesson, Jac Vera and I took the liberty to plan our own exercise regime and ran cross country route to East Coast and back.
I love running long distance, there's something very appealing about it, at least thats what i feel. Would sign up for the Stan Chart 21km, but have less than 2 weeks to train for it considering the Lit paper which juts out and takes up some space in our calendar of freedom somewhere in mid Nov. Therefore, i have to be content with just a pathetic 10 km again. Sigh. I know 10km may already sound like a feat to some, but after running that since sec 3, that makes it 3 years, its just trite and boring. boo.

Today tuesday was a day of getting back to reality. With some really shocking math grade, i looked back upon my old post Quote : "i guess i have reason to be proud because i crammed what people were doing over the entire term into the last 3 or 4 days. if i count honestly, i think i studied only for mids for 10 days [edit: spending at least 5 days getting by the juvenile confusions first] I also realised that i didnt even catch up with those stuff I missed when we missed school while in New York!" Its my own fault for not challenging fatigue after late nights in school, for not pressing through with those confusing symbols even at midnight and probably for just not having enough resolve.
Both my parents work and since we have no maid at home, and since my sister is overseas plus my oldest sister is really caught up with her crazy hectic banking job, I always reach home first despite it being late, and therefore spend at least an hour clearing up and doing some housechores so that i can spare my mum from the tyranny of some of those unrelenting dust. After that my mum returns and i help her in the kitchen to prepare food so that we dont eat dinner at 10 oclock. after that its another half an hour of tidying up the kitchen and clearing up and hola, i often sit down at my desk to do work only at 10 or 10.30pm! My family is not the traditional Chinese family kind that encourages you to "Study study study" kind because fortunately or unfortunately for me, do not believe in hardcore mugging. Maybe its because my dad and sister are brilliant in a very similar way...Raffles ftw and never needed to touch a book to do well. My parents also cant stand it when im huddled, stressed at my desk with books and really technically yell at me at 12 to go to bed. I have nightmares because then i have only had 1 hour of solid work but this probably covers only 2 sides of a thick stack of Israeli-Palestinian notes and is heavily insufficient. I cant complain because ultimately blame comes back to me for giving away my weekends to friends or rest...poor time management!

All these are not excuses though, because I compare the resolve of those under much more "undesirable" circumstances and I lose miserably. I used to have a friend back in primary school who had to help her physically disabled mum run a hawker stall and prepare all the things at the crack of dawn and after school too. Her grades were one of the best in the level.

So, what can i change? I cannot change the blessings (which we often take it as seemingly banes as i have listed above) God has given us, I cannot change the responsibilities i have been given, I cannot change the cards God has dealt me, so what can i change?

I can change, and must change in fact my own attitude towards everything, how everything is indeed is not impossible and have more resolve to complete things i have to complete. Was talking to my junior today and its really so much easier advicing people then carrying it out yourself.

Thankyou Jessie, Charissa, Eric, Director Poh, Exco, Section, (ahaha kaikeng) and all the year 2s for adhering to my crazy qualms of camwhoring todayy. Thank you so much for understanding me so much this past year and basically know that when i dont give a smile or dont speak a word, something's wrong. Thank you so much for reading me like a book, it scares me sometimes! Thank you for giving me so many enjoyable dinner company and wacky fun where i can really be myself. I remember having a vegetable stuck in between my teeth and somehow after i found out after kind soul charissa told me haha i was surprised i didnt really mind it at all. haha ok thats embarrassing but thats a fantastic example man. Lastly, thank you for making this afternoon and evening so much better for me. All my smiles are still captured in JS's cam and will be uploaded soon. I even have an accidental upskirt picture gosh no no i shant upload that haha!

Tomorrow, how things were are going to "officially change" and though we can cry like Matthew at the end of our video because everything was merely a memory, we will still have the best laughs of our life while watching it, and, the best of company to follow us forever.

For me though, its going to take some time to really let go, but like what i said to Gabriel, what has to be done, has to be done and we must do it with resolve! Happy handover tomorrow and,
pamper your tear glands tonight guys.

Your light Will shine

You know you have days where you sing praises of worship and suddenly you just become so engaged in the envelope of God's love which just floods you? It floods your heart and soon you feel you arent even standing on solid ground. Everything becomes so surreal and the friends you are amidst dont really seem to be there anymore, its into another world, or what I would call transcendance.

Transcendance doesn't come cheap. You could feed on booze to experience another kind of transcendance i guess. Thats the cheapest it can get. To experience the transcendance of real meaning, one including serene calmness comes from something not money can buy, not the maximum SAT scores you can get, not shopping to make you happy, not manicures and not pedicures, not the latest movies, nor the sleekest Ipods you can ever find. None of those. In fact if you want to think of a reason, you can articulate it for the world yet not understand it. You have got to experience it.

This experience (or so in my narrow perspective of life these 18 years) comes from simply opening your heart and mind to Him, whether or not we are singing in church or simply praying for a friend. Believe it or not, my second last experience at this 'transcendance' was a mighty 2 years ago, with my last experience during one of the rehearsals for Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant us Peace) for our Majestia XXIII. I assure you i heard a chorale singing the hymn, and experienced a wider space so much more than where i was. I would blink my ears if i could to check if i was hearing correctly, i mean maybe it was just the fantastic harmony being supernaturally in tune, but no it was something more than that. I looked around to check if others were similarly taken in by the peculiar event, but no, everyone seemed perfectly as they were... my soul fed then and even though standing next to so many, I knew none of them would see my tears or my surge of gratefulness. Amazingly, its just between You and Him.

We are like a kite, and He is holding the string from anywhere below where we are flying. We may be tangible miles apart yet we are intangibly attached. The trick is making this intangiblity tangible in everyway. Offhand i can count so many friends who have been discouraged by this invisibility and i cant say ive never been through that. But if you call yourself happy with just that amount of things you have, seemingly happy I would say. I really crinch at the thought!

If you are a Christian visitor here and you can afford some time, or even if you arent a Christian and would like to, just take some minutes off to listen to my dear favourite evergreen blog-song which should have been playing, replay it if need be and think through all the lyrics. Ill welcome you everyday, everytime you feel weak yet you need strength, everytime you feel life isnt just how it was anymore.

This is how you stay happy my dear. :)
And remember, we are all still trying :)

ALAMAH

Quote Mc: "Alamah"!!

haha shouldnt it be alamak?! lol

why is everything so alamah!

Wednesday, 25 June 2008

all about the wordplay

a week before cts, wait or was it 2 weeks before cts, cant really remember!
annabelle i really want to sit on that scary thing, but im really scared i fly out and die before my A levels! hahaha.

BACKK!
and alive from cts!


if you see my brain on the street, make sure you salute it!!

it has survived much! travelled around the world to kashmir, pakistan, israel, china, burma, vietnam, malaysia, indonesia and actually dublin too because of Juno and the Paycock.

oh and i nearly forgot! if you see my right hand on the street too, do give it 2 salutes and maybe a bow yea? :)
10 essays on average in a mere 12 hours for the arts papers!

:) im proud of myself and all my classmates and yet i know if that was the kind of work i was going to give in the A levels i wouldnt mind shooting myself 10 times over now! i guess i have reason to be proud because i crammed what people were doing over the entire term into the last 3 or 4 days. if i count honestly, i think i studied only for mids for 10 days. I also realised that i didnt even catch up with those stuff I missed when we missed school while in New York!

I think one of the things that really kept me going was how we girls we in it together, how we all were kept so busy during term and really had to slog hard these few nights. Majestia, tennis season, softball and hockey match supports, tuitions with ants and abc, we were hardly given time to really rest and really settle down for work. our momentum was only destroyed once school hols started but then again we all had our own plans for the first two weeks! Thank God for also all the strength present with us, the strength I can never comprehend how it came about! the strength of my hands and my fingers, the strength of my mind despite the late nights, the strength to keep our spirits high!

Even though going back to school on Monday for a rather important test was dreadful, somehow i felt really good going back to school. VJ has been something really special to me and i can safely say for nearly all of us because of so many memories. i mean there will always be unpleasant ones but we learn to live with it and it makes us stronger. But overall, i think going school has been great and i really love all the friends ive made this past1 and a half year. Will miss school badly once study term kicks in =/
was supposed to watch Sex and the City with the girls today after dinner. the movie was supposed to start with 9 but my mummy wanted to come home before 12 so i gave it a miss! she has been really worried ever since the news of a trend of increasing youths and people of all ages going missing. She is really suspicious of that bridge near my home and she is always very worried when i come back after dark. oh dear! no wonder she always makes sure she fetches me from whereever i am nowadays... my dad too! but somehow my mum has this very strong instinct thing about her advice to us and thats why i always have no qualms of adhering to it. Somehow what she always feels is always quite accurate! Quite scary but good i guess!
My sister is arriving back on 7th July morning. I should be going to the airport to fetch her in the wee hours of the morning before going to school! Its strange how i only really really start missing my sister when she's about to come back haha. She has been gone for close to 6 months and its fine time she's back! She has already been conversing in Spanish with my dad on the phone or email! amazing sister who learns different languages like a b c! She has taken my dad's genes, he can speak fluent, and i mean fluent Thai, Jap and Spanish. Can write them too. Wow.
I feel like signing up for the basic driving theory test but i know i will regret it when the test comes and im caught up with work and all. Ok we have to hit ikea soon, have a list of things to give some favourite people of mine! haha, official handover's coming soon!

online shopping!!

omgosh i cant get myself off online shopping! dang and it doesnt help that i keep seeing stuff i like!

ok i've decided after As ill like sell half of my wardrobe, seriously, almost all of them are new if not worn once, and after that i dont seem to like it anymore or it doesnt seem to like me anymore. seriously i think i could earn quite a lot.

ok, i have to keep reminding myself that now is a bad time to be doing this. Bad time, bad time!


anyway, i just called mark hoping to get some "pearls of wisdom" regarding history and found out that almost all our class guys are at a pub now??!!! does not help to have a slack class. I think A13 can be one of the slackest jc classes in history!

oh no!!

- Worried
