:)

thanks chiawen :))

God never moves without purpose or plan, when trying His servant and moulding a man. Give thanks to the Lord though your testing seems long. In darkness He giveth a song. O rejoice in the Lord, He makes no mistake. He knoweth the end of each path that I take. For when I am tired and purified, I shall come forth as gold. Everything happens for a purpose, a higher purpose we are unable to see right now, but we can always trust that God IS in control and He alone knows best.:)

this weekend has been absolutely trying as well as amazing. Trying because of some of my close friends' as well as my own disappointing results, Joanne's leave to Australia and the acceptance of having to drop SC, and possibly but hopefully not, VJ. However, it has been amazing because of the people around me, and the mere companionship of the Lord.

Thanks sidney for listening to me, thanks jinghan, jason, andre and vera for picking me up after I had fallen, and thanks xinhui and jess for cycling with me on saturday:)) thanks VJ and SC percussionists for brightening up my day so much this weekend. :) thanks mr jeow, weiting, jasmine, peace, eunice, camille, hwee, jon muk, cheryl, meiying too:)) weiting, your ice cream treat is still waiting for you!:) im seriously going to laugh if I get posted to AC again. LOL.

Bye Joanne! Im going to miss miss miss you:) You have been one my best friends these 4 years, thanks for always being there for me, especially on mondays and fridays in SC:) thanks for quarrelling with me and enjoying the madness with me, may the Lord bless you and keep you safe always. :)

:)

hello all,
tomorrow is the day.:)
sincerely, all the very best!

Even though I hate to say this, even though we'll still see each other in school, and even though the O Level results are not THAT important after we've already come to this stage, Ill say all I can to those around me first.

Firstly, I really love VJC! It was my ideal school, and it will always be.:))first choice.:)
I also love ARTS FAC! we bring colour to VJ!:) we are the speakers, the party poppers, the wacky bunch:) I love 07A13, oh my gosh, I Praise and Thank the Lord for bringing you all to me! A priceless bunch! its amazing how quick you all have such a special place in my heart!
I love VJCSB! even though the whole band and I aren't that close yet, the percussion section is amazingg. Thanks Sidney, Christa, Timothy and Koushing for having so much faith in me, for being excellent role models in everyway. thanks fellow batchmates xinhui, beatrice, jessica and matthew. I love you guys! Thank you fellow Lynx Student Council nominees!:) congrats on our successfully finished house speeches!:)

Today was an amazing day. Our class hung out together after school, basking in the last day of being a PAE Victorian.:) we went bowling and chilled out! its amazing how the guys are so super confident. GENIUSES. Anyway, special thanks go to Sidney, my perc SL. thanks for going through the appeal procedure with me, while still having so much faith in us.:) after I get my results, I got to sms/call a million people! ill call my family, then call my classmates, then perc section and band, then council people! :) thanks guys for being so concerned and wonderful. no words can express my gratitude!:))

love, meiyi:)

The Big Orange Badge.

hello!

yess guys. I gotta wear this horrible horrible Big Orange Badge now and forever till next friday when election results are out. I even have to wear it back to SC next week to collect results! eeeks! anyway, more and more people are pulling out of Council so far, because of the tough stringent rules we are expected to abide by. Its not THAT bad yet though, and this morning the school presented us house by house to the cohort! We did the boomy dynamite cheer and we wore colourful hairbands with cat ears. GO L-Y-N-X!:) shameless we are!

anyway, more on my campaign, im running together with the rest of the nominees from lynx, as well as with Ye Zi and Camille. Im still considering if I should run solo also. anyway, thank God for my very supportive class - they are even more enthu than me!:) today at the end of lit lecture they suddenly shouted "vote for meiyi!" heh and nearly all my teachers know im running too. oh dear, I just realised this morning that this big orange badge with my name printed in such a large font you could see it from miles away) meant that I got to do ALL my homework and not stone in class anymore. The carrot cake, chicken rice and fruit juice aunties are also gonna help me by giving out 'tokens' to all consumers! Camille! I cant believe we're doing this either! heh! I think this campaign is going to mean SO much more than the literal aim of getting into Council, its going to make me learn to be more brave, to be more sure of myself as well as to have faith in things, because as Jason said, God Will provide a way.:)

today was Daniel's birthday too! Happy 17th! Dan's the man! heh! Mark printed posters of Daniel's pretty face and at the bottom it read :" HI! IM DANIEL AND IM THE CT REP OF (THE BESTEST ARTS FAC CLASS)07A13! TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! WISH ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" haha, aint we horrible! the guys stuck them all over school and especially near all the places we were going for lessons today. heh:)

Saturday's SLV (Service Learning Venture) at Sentosa was wonderful! the kids enjoyed themselves and so did we:) I got dunked twice though, which is UNFAIR because only veralyne and I got really dunked dunked. the rest of the girls didnt get touched at all! only wet! mark has the video of me getting dunked! haha i was totally disfiguring Jason's shirt and trying to compromise with them! after that we headed to Vivo, had carls junior while watching the sea and the sentosa view. beautiful.:) headed home with vera and hwee. yay i love you guys I really do!:)

vera and hwee!:))

annabelle, me and anthea!!:) I love you sweeties!

jinghan and andre playing with the kids.:) Its really cool, because the kids are so cute!

me, poser jason and anthea:)
jaclyn me and vera:))

some of the class guys and a kid:)

a priceless photo!!:)

dont be mistaken, we didnt go to sentosa just to play! haha we brought the children fom Su Chen Lan Methodist Home to Sentosa for a whole day of games and activities, and I shall hereby thank Jing Han, my partner, being group leaders of Charmander (Pokemon theme)! Bringing 4 quite mischievous boys around was seriously no joke and especially at the musical fountain, when they totally lunged into the water. phew. Thank God for perfect weather and a successful assignment completed:))

Hello cupid:)

hello,
happy first of february everyone:))
during lit today, vera said she would slap me if i didnt stay in VJ, heh. of course Ill stay if i could babe, i just need good results man! you lucky softballer dsa person! eeeks! lol. then, we could wear the beautiful uniform forever, and malu ourselves like mad while running for council and house comm. heh. we could hang out every tuesday and go mad during lessons.

anyway, yesterday's econs lesson was the best for me but the worst for many people. I was sharing table with our teacher's fave boy :jason, so i was pretty safe. but she kept picking on the girls' table as usual. and mark actually said " I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to chinese after this."haha! that shows how bad it was man...

since today was the first of a new month, i decided to try something new. I followed the hardworking mugging people (tricia and lucas) to the library during our 2 hour and 20 min break! well, for the first 15 min, I was so amused and highly excited at the wondrously silent venue ( which is such a contrast to almost anywhere else in the school) The silence was deafening.. Everyone was studying so seriously! man! I was more surprised to meet people like camille and sidney!! wow! i cleared up most of the math doubts and Lucas was having so much fun ironing out all my math wrong-concepts. heh.:)thanks! meanwhile, the SC thing is stressing me out man. I need a good house speech. and a fresh campaigning idea. and a "shameless" brave heart. its hard to get down to it while not having enough conviction. i feel bad for juggling band along with sc. i feel guilty sacrificing band pracs! aah! and dont make me feel worse dafril, sidney, matthew and jessica and beatrice!! dont!

meanwhile, jason and vera and denise and nat phua are running for house comm! its wonderful having old friends and new being mutual friends now! during math, jason was lending D all his partial fractions and D was sharing us jokes about a papaya and banana. haha sorry teacher, but trigo's actually quite easy but your formulas just make everything more difficult. we also managed to get sponsorship for the kids' entries into Sentosa on Saturday! yippie!:)

Im praying for good results, a satisfying campaign period and for ties between friends to stay strong. bye!:)

Masks

Hello all:) how are ALL of you?:)
anyway, despite the truckloads of work I have, Math Econs Lit Hist and GP, I shall still spend loads of time blogging because I feel happy happy happy today.:)

Firstly, I just visited Vera's blog and oh my gosh I love you!!:)))

vera says: "i kopped some pictures from my dear Meiyi, whom by the way is the most insane girl i've ever met.she wins everyone hands down.her laughter is soo infectious and she claims i roar at her.LOLwhen she giggles, i'll laugh and then she'll laugh, so we're practically having a laughing marathon every single day.now everyone knows that once one of us starts laughing, the other will follow suit in exactly 2 seconds.loli love Meiyi:)she makes my day.RAWR!"

oh my, I wish to say that, VJ 07A13's Veralyne is one of the wackiest girls ever too! Its been a long time since I've met someone like you! I can do almost ANYTHING to her, and everything's just sooo funny. seriously, even as I was reading her posts, I was laughing SO MUCH!:)) *HUGS vera!:) the last time I met such a crazy person was 3 years ago, my senior Deborah!:)

anyway, vera's blog also reminded me of something really cool I wanted to blog on long ago, but I forgot.:)
there was this day my class wanted to pon econs lecture (which of course, being us, didnt in the end:)) we have named the treehouses Lt6/7/8 so when people ask, "where is 07A13?", the reply goes something like "they're at LT7." our class people were playing bridge and taiti in the treehouse, and we were shouting at the top of our lungs to greet the principal and VP Mr Chan and Mr Fong respectively, heh. :)) haha the next few points are seriously a product of vera's excellente memory - jason is seriously a monkey, (yes!) he jumped up from the bottom and climbed into the house. now for WEDNESDAY's events. andre wore a SCGS uniform and omg he looked so DISTURBED.its freaky but suuuuper hilarious. everyone from the neighbouring classes were walking past to sneak a peek at our new student, ANDREA. we took loads of pictures and he is psychotic lah. Mr Khoo was saying we should show our friends how taxing JC life is, by showing a picture of the Meiyi and then Andre's.to show how stress can change one's body and FACE. 07A13 rocks!!!

haha thanks vera! anyway, you people (annabelle, vera and hwee) are SO LUCKY! DSA people! I really really hope I can stay here man, its going to suck especially if im the only one who moves away from our very excellent class. hmmph. Its either DSA people like the abovementioned or the brainies like jason jinghan and basically ALL THE GUYS who are SO CONFIRMED gonna get 6 points (and who apparently and seriously slack so muchh) and stay here:) aah! I need to stay stay stay!:) then I can go for the Lit (UK and Paris) trip and the History (vietnam/ south korea) trip too!!:)))
this morning was great, because I managed to rush out my econs hmk in 10 min before assembly with vera, hwee's and syazana's divine help:) thanks babes:) I've been doing maths till super late the past few nights. I love partial fractions and binomial.:)) Jason and Jing Han also took a very sneaky video of me and Vera before we entered the hall. We were laughing at each other (again) and suddenly we started smacking each other! haha, I guess they were really amused.
However, I had a really really bad stomachache this afternoon! Its the wind-indigestion kind that would not ease even if you went to toilet. During break I seriously felt like puking and running away from everyone. haha. but guess what, just at this juncture, I received this message from Daphne : "I know not what difficulties or trials or temptations may be before me this day. Prepare me whether for duty or for conflict. Knowing the fleshy nature of the human heart, I desire this morning and each morning to receive fresh supplies of Your grace..Spirit of the living God, please fill me and use me today. Thank You Lord Jesus for loving me..always:))"
Praise the Lord for using dear Daph to remind me of Your love and care:) I said the prayer silently and prayed for some direction as to what I should have done. Our Lord is indeed great and mighty, He heard my cries and like what he did on the first day of Orientation, alleviating my fever, he relieved the uncomfort from me and I was able to sustain throughout to the end. I was even able to take PE lesson and run, not feeling ill or anything.:) Thank you Lord! Nothing is too great or too small for Him to handle, even such minute things like stomachaches etc, He hears your cries, and will never leave you nor forsake you.:)

After school, Mark, Lucas jason vera annabelle and I went to watch Jing Han during his dance practice. haha, he dances well man. Halfway, annabelle left for hockey training, lucas left and jason went to do his routine runs to east coast. Well, if it wasnt for the weather, vera and I almost followed him to ECP to cycle. heh.:) next time maybe. :)mark left at about 4 plus, but vera and I stayed back to watch Jing han and have some girl talk:) jason returned from his run all flushed and not long after he left, vera jing han (who had finally finished) and I went home together. met daniel and faizah at the bus stop. Faizah alighted at the same stop as me, and while I was waiting with her for her next bus to change to, we chatted and caught up quite alot and discussed JTS for our og. hmm, get well yea girl?:) no more fried chicken wings ok!:)

anyway, I will be praying for a couple of people, and may God give me the strength to handle tomorrow with tact and wisdom. First clash between Band prac and Council meeting. :[

07A13:)

06 A13 and 07 A13 after JTS:)

afterlaughs*

hello,

i was thinking, ill try something new.

well, school's SUPER boring. There are NO people to scare you round the corner,

class is just work, and more work all the time, no time for guessing who's behind those dance masks, no time to steal a ferrero rocher or two,

projects are horrible because we are just cooped up in those 4 walls,

there's no vera to ROAR at me (!!) and there are no nice spots to strike a pose.:)

heh.:)

anyway, I got through the first round (interview) for council. Its really the rest of it that I'm dreading though. :[

"Praise the Lord for all the good things he has done," and it never ends. really.

"Look me in the eyes, girl."

Hello:))

what can I say? hha today was great again. :)

Literature was highly stimulating, and Maths Binomial Theorem was fun! Haha, im still not succumbing to pon Andre! Anyway after school a few of us went to Parkway to eat lunch, then I headed back to school to meet Mr. Khoo for the CT talk. It was quite pleasant actually! and guess what, he asked if I wanted to be some sort of 'face' for some VJ banner. Haha. Well, he claims im photogenic, but oh my gosh, if IM photogenic right, then what will Li shaan/Becky/ Camille be la! OUT OF THIS WORLD! haha:)

anyway, today was super fun because I wore the VJ uniform!! Many pleasant reactions and comments! Haha, lets see, a million people said I looked better in it than in SC uniform - "Cleaner, whiter, more matured, blah..." HAHA. The VJ uniform is actually really really comfortable, ahh Faizah, can I just like rent it from you for like, forever?! haha...

Well, tomorrow's going to be a SUPER HECTIC day. Band prac from 7 plus to 12, back to home, then go down to SMU for the history project interview with, annabelle, andre, lucas and Jun jin, then we will head to Swensens for JTS with our senior class. (Junior- treat- senior).

Till then, taa:))

:|

Hello...
today school was weird. hmmm.
anyway, we had a food eating competition! Kudos to Jing han and Edo for having the guts to take part! oh man! I felt so disturbed watching all the guys stuff their faces with food, eeekks! After that I myself felt so ill!
On another note, I never actually believed that people really did classify others' character according to the school they came from. Quite a few people have been telling me how different I am from other SC girls, and how amazing they think it is. hmm! I dont think thats true though. Believe it or not, IM A TRUE BLUE SC GIRL ok!:) Currently, I suddenly miss SCGS. I have realised that I've never actually really missed it yet, till like, now. I miss walking through the Peranakan Gardens in the morning, I miss sitting at the spiral stairs with fellow prefects:), I miss 4 GY, I miss enjoying PE lessons, I miss Mr Jo's Bio lessons, I miss science pracs, screwing up experiments, I miss mee pok, I miss all you wonderful people. I miss being in a single-sex school. haha. I miss SCBand. It's amazing looking back though. Well, it's definitely great starting a new life though, a great one furthermore. It just feels a little strange.

WELL, tomorrow WILL be a great day.:)
im going to wear the vj uniform tomorrow. will post pics!:) Im also going to meet Mr Khoo for the one-to-one talk tmr, haha jason and daniel are CONVINCED that I have many psychological issues to share with him, that I'll just take a few hours. HAHA. no way, it will be short man. then we can go makan after im done. lol.:))

"I pray, let me not be a student to happens to be a Christian, but a Christian who happens to be a student. Use me mightily O Lord, Amen."


my og juniors' IP one Class on that fateful boulder at East Coast Park. :))

Guru:)

Nuggets of Happiness

hello!:)
TODAY WAS ANOTHER GREAT DAY!:)
had another 1 hour 45 min break where the higher chinese people could slack up the treehouse (LT 6) ahha! anyway, tomorrow is my council interview! -_- Im seriously hoping I wont say anything I will regret after that.

anyway, today I was quite freaked out. Because I have just realised that nearly EVERYONE knows what my favourite food is, where my favourite toilet is, what my predicted response to something would be, and where my favourite hang-outs are. OK, AM I THAT LOUD? ooohh. haha.

anyway, thanks chara and melvin for updating me on the hotest things going on in ACJC... haha I miss all of you!:) anyway, to you friend, not bad ah.. pretty fast eh!:)) hee. ok, I shall stop being so cheeky.. FOR NOW!:)

well, today someone just randomly asked me why I am always so happy. Well, I couldn't really answer you at that point of time, but I guess sometimes pyscho-ing yourself to be happy, telling yourself that you are indeed happy, really makes you happy!! haha:)) Here's just some encouragement for you guys out there,

Author: Stephen Covey
Discover the 90/10 Principle.
It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.
What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.
We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
How? ……….By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.
The result?
Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.
It CAN change your life!!!
Enjoy….
