helllllo!
haven't update for a loooong time. have been rather busy. oh well. the weather these few days are weirdd. super windy yet sunny at the same time. bizarre. why didn't it rain yesterday, then we don't have to run 3 rounds for pe..zzz. i'm a lazybum. i realised slow jogging is very relaxing and calming. resisting the urge to overtake the person in front of you is difficult, but running at ur own pace can be rewarding. (:
i'm becoming freakingly paranoid. urgh, i wish i can have super powerful ears and listen to what they are saying. hahahaha. hopefully it's not something undesirable.
i've been thinking about alot of stuff lately. random questions would start to pop into my mind during school and i'm having shorter attention spans during lessons. which is really BAD, because i can't understand a thing during lectures and if i still stone and zone out during tutorials i'm gonna fall damn hard during blocks. h3 is becoming more and more -.- with all the spectroscopies getting me confused and bewildered.
man, all that i blog about now are mundane excerpts of my boring life :/
wellwell. at least i have a funky jnr class! i'm waiting for ppl to send me stj photos. haha. i'm looking forward to jts man. i want good food :D
here's my favourite flower:
GERBERA!! but actually i like the orange-red one best. but i can't find a picture of it. rarrr. they are LOVE! haha. i think i like bright flowers more. i also like sunflowers! so pretty. ahhhh, i wanna visit far east flora right now and look at all the beautiful flowers...how great it would be if i can just take a stroll thru the lavender fields..it would not be possible in s'pore of course. maybe australia? hmmmm.
my eyelids are getting heavy, so...BYEBYE!

TURBO-CHARGED. the theme for this year's orientation campfire!
this is what happened to the watermelon we made the juniors open with a spoon and eat. muahahahaha.
fakeos! we are all imposters except for wilson.lol. and pauline (:
another class picture :D
today is huiqing's birthday! whee~ grace and i celebrated with her in the afternoon. went to eat jap food and swensons' icecream in town. talked about alot of stuff such as people in our school, tv shows etc. grace and i talked about the 852 gang! oh man. i think almost everyone who takes 852 knows one another because we will always meet on the bus. cuz yishun damn laopok mah, only one bus can reach bukit timah, hence we'll take the bus everyday without fail. we are all happening people.
oh, and some people on the bus REALLY have no discretion about what they say on the bus. pls look around and check for possible people u are likely to offend before you say something condescending. it's not as if u're in such hot demand. i wasn't the one who got offended anyway, but i really cannot stand people who don't have any self-awareness at all.
life's as busy as usual. h3 chem tut is getting more and more discouraging. can't wait for the weekend to come, so that i can sleep in late =P

i don't quite know what to blog on anymore. all the studying and doing of homework has brought out the inner mugger of me, and i don't know how to enjoy life at this moment. not as if i have the time anyway. reaching home at 8plus every night and doing homework all the way till bed time is taking a toll on me. and it has only been 3 weeks of sch! sigh. such is the life of a j2. i think i really shouldn't have bit off more than i could chew. but i don't want to give up without even trying hard. i just hope i can cope with all the commitments i have now. that would probably mean i have to make certain sacrifices, such as hanging out with friends after school.
studying is good, really. it keeps me occupied such that i don't have the spare time to think about senseless stuff. i thought i wouldn't be able to, but eventually i had gotten over certain matters. absence makes the heart grow fonder doesn't apply for me. the less i see, the less affected i get. at least i'm much more sure of the direction it's heading now.
on a side note, i'm going shopping next friday! it's probably the ONLY highlight of the coming week :D i'm deprived of innocent pleasures of window shopping ): fridays shall be the official day for hanging out. since it's the ONLY available day. and it's not the whole afternoon s'more. only after 5.30pm. oh well. gotta make do with the little free time i have.
randomness strikes: I LOVE MY FRIENDS! esp charlie's angels, classmates, squadmates and team mates :D i see you people almost everyday, and you all make school so much more bearable. i like the way my class can chill out after sch by playing cards and talking, while also able to study tog in the library. esp how we teach one another in studies. special thanks to zeqi, the chem olympiad gold metallist who made h3 tut qns seem so easy (: i also like how the vb team train hard tog, be it outdoor trng or pt. now i have zoe to pei me take bus at the bus stop opp hc (:
am getting back to nitrogen cmpds. CIAO!

jaya and zoe! it's a pity that the photo 3 of us took together didn't turn out good.

IMPOSTERS! we hid in a secluded corner of the canteen to take photos. -.-
weiwei/meimei and i! against the backdrop of my classmates. heehee.
sad, my cam died b4 i could take MORE photos! urgh. so ppl, send me da photos! ever u can send me e pics in ur phone. hahaha.

really quite lazy to update. oh well.
here's a very very nice song:
"I Do (Cherish You)"
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause I
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all of my heart
'Til my dying day
[Chorus]
chanced upon it on someone's blog. so sweet!
campfire was quite fun, except that ALL OF US MISSED THE APOLLO DANCE!!!!!!!! what the heck. can't believe we missed the number one hot and sexy dance. with xlb, joanne and alicia in it. urgh. but nvm, here's the link for the dancE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH15g2epNjQ
i think i enjoyed myself much more this year. it's probably cuz 71 got a whole lot closer and funkier. i mean, obviously right. last year we were all blurblur. we got pretty high during the song and dance sessions! it's so heartwarming to gather in a circle (albeit a flat one) and sing college songs together. it's a rare sight to see some of our guy classmates sing. lol.
after the campfire, we had the traditional watermelon game! the catch is to open the watermelon with a metal spoon and gobble up ALL its contents in 1min. before that, they gotta stand on the table, ALL 26 OF THEM and shout us a cheer. urgh, we let them off too easily cuz we didn't make them walk on the table. dohhfjdkiuwirjka. i think we had a greater challenge last year. oh well. nvm. oh, one jnr performed a magic trick for us! it was reallly awesome man. go 71's class blog and look at the fork! but all magic tricks are scams. all fake one. i want to see a REAL cool magic trick someday :D like the one in The Prestige.
hmmmm. oh ya, ever and i borrowed stnic's and sc uniform to wear on campfire day! lol. we refused to wear hongzi. dunno why we didn't think of wearing pe tee, but nvm. and so we took a lot of photos! wheee~ shall upload them together w e photos taken with the class.
MY CAM DESERVES TO BE CONDEMNED. the batt runs out extremely fast. urggghhhh why so laopok one ): i need a new cam. rarrrr.
my entire week ahead is blown off. welcome to the reality of j2 life.

wheeee~
so yesterday was coach's big day! cuz it's his wedding! haha. zhang and i met earlier at taka to buy the CASSEROLE POT (it's not a WOK for goodness' sake!) luckily we didn't decide to lug it home on friday, if not either of us would have died carrying it. it wasn't light okay! luckily changboon and zhen wei helped us carry it to the hotel. yay, thank you!
and everyone in the girls' team looked really pretty yesterday! wahahaha. so we waited for everyone to turn up and walked to the hotel! forgot what's the name alr, oops. as usual, wedding receptions nv fail to make me feel touched. was overwhelmed by the singing and little stories shared by the pastor. almost cried but i didn't want to embarass myself. haha. may they have a happy and blissed marriage! they're going to new zealand for honeymoon! the scenery there must be breathtaking.
the lunch reception was wonderful! carnivore zhang loves the yummy chicken. i like the blueberry cheesecake the most! too bad i didn't get to eat e siewmai ): they were all gone before i could get my hands on them.
what happens when a grp of girls gather together? why, photo-taking of course!!! haha. we took a whole load of photos the entire time. haha. zhang, chenzhuo, zhi and i even went to the end of the hall to take photos! using the timer. haha. so pro right. and of course, we took photos with the beautiful bride and suave bridesgroom! woohoooo.
zhang, me, zhi and chenzhuo!
j1s and j2s (:
VOLLEYBALL GIRLS' TEAM ;D
clockwise from right: kai, me, zhang, shu and zhi!
after that, we walked to marina square to play pool! ming, shu, sophia, jaya, cheryl and laytin left first. can u imagine playing pool in skirts. hahaha. and walking all the way from st andrew's cathedral to marina square in our heels and flats which gave our painful blisters and squashed feet. it took us quite long to complete a game of pool! cuz we are almostly noobs. except zhi and zhang! i think. actually everybody else was playing q well except me ): e first game i couldn't get any ball in! grrrrr obviously lady luck wasn't on my side.
i think in the 3rd or 4th game we were all super unlucky in getting the first ball in. haha. oh well. then, we decided to leave cuz we were getting rather sian-ed. haha. i, the shopping queen went to diva and bought a necklace! 50% off leh, how to resist! haha. in the end i got scolded by my mum for buying too many things recently. oh well.
everybody else went home except zhang, zhi and i. wooo! we went to kfc and had a nice chat (: i think we sat there for a really long time cuz e person wanted to clear our table for us, i.e. chase us out in a polite sense. haha. we talked about alot of stuff, such as school, family, friends etc. and zhi offended both of us! hahahaha. it's like we realised qualities which we never knew we possessed. for example, they commented that i laugh louder than i speak! which is to say, i'm very soft-spoken. haha. i really don't think so. but nvm, I WILL TRY TO SPEAK LOUDER FROM NOW ONWARDS. and that zhang has e wild look. no lor, zhang i don't think so! haha.
and we went to esplande rooftop to continue our conversation! i <3 the atmosphere there. so serene and peaceful. (: hope we can have more of such talks in the future! i think we would. heh. that's all, tata guys!
Thursday, January 04, 2007 @ 10:59 PM
It doesn't feel like a new year to me. It's so odd to think of myself as a senior. SENIOR. sounds so old. and mature. hmmm. can't wait to see how our class juniors will be like! hope they're interesting. haha. i need some entertainment source so that i don't go crazy mugging. this year is truely a mugging year. better not let myself have the chance to regret anything.
like what yuntian said, i suddenly realised that i've got quite a number of friends in sch. classmates, team mates, squadmates, ocip frens and ex-classmates. haha. then during break in the canteen would bump into many people. it's a heartwarming feeling. that's what i like about school anyway. probably the ONLY thing i like.
oh and my class has a new CT cum gp teacher! miss lim ai hua. she's really quite cool and funky. and she has a pretty sound sense of humour. wow, it has been a long time since i've met such teachers. haha. okay maybe not so long afterall, since derek tan is my sec 3 bio teacher and he's super funny too. i hope i can do better in gp this year. well, i need to la. miss lim says it's all about technique. hmmmm.
anyway, here's the conversation of the day:
pauline: how does it feel to like someone?
(someone in another convo): full of shit!
me: that was a good answer.
(that person): what the hell?!?!
beat this. hahahaha. we were sitting on the benches at far east plaza and talking about random stuff while it happened. that person sounded like he was really answering pauline's question. so we were like WHAT THE SHIT?! and i said that was a good answer. haha. cheryl heard the what the hell?!?! but i didn't. hahahahaha.
better enjoy this short period of honeymoon-ing while it last. come march it's gonna be BUSYYYYY. tata!

my first post in 2007 :D
2006 had truly been an eventful year for me. Those who were always close by my side would know that i didn't have a great start in the beginning of last year. much less; it was rather disastrous. i didn't know i couldn't manage change. or rather, it was too drastic for me to bear. bouts of depression struck me senseless and i became a stranger to myself. tried so hard to pull myself from that abyss. and luckily i finally did so, with the help of my friends ((: many thanks to cheryl and pauline who became my two best friends in class this year. i'm really so thankful that you two were there for me, always, whether sunshine or RAIN. i cannot imagine what would happen to me if not for you two. lovelove <3
not forgetting old time buddies of course xP my squadmates might not be always there when i want to see them, but every gathering feels so warm and fuzzy, because i will once again realise that there will always be a special place for them. and the recent alumni games day just proved that fact. there would not be another grp of friends whom i can bare my soul to. with sqms, i can be my true self.
also, my volleyball teammates. thank you for all the random but funny moments you've brought to my life. felt especially close during the competition season, when we would write encouraging letters to one another and exchange gifts. though i felt kinda of distant to the team initially, as i crave for the closeness my squad share, i realised it wouldn't be the same. now i feel much much closer (: we must work hard for next year! and i mustn't slack ;D
and to the ocip shanghai team! i would say the trip is probably one of the most memorable events in my life. i'm really so glad to have met all of you, all 24 of you. i also learnt alot from the kids in the village school, who taught my lessons of happiness and joy. and all those crazy nights of mass convos are fresh in my mind. such spontaneity and enthusiasm amongst us. which is why i really like this grp of people. we rawk! and let us please not dao each other in school okay!
i hoped and i prayed. but some things are just not meant to be. happiness is not something to be expected. it comes visiting once in a while, and we all ought to savour every moment of it when it does so. the next time it happens, i will not hide like a coward and wish for a hole to swallow me up. i would be brave and fight for what i deem as right and worthy of mine. i would not be afraid to get hurt in the process.
suddenly i feel so old. seventeen. gosh. in about 2 mths i would be eighteen. legal to buy booze and cigarettes. get to enjoy more movie choices with the emergence of m18 shows. and many more regulations broken. but does it really matter? in any case, hope my eighteenth year would be one of wonderful memories (:
wow i sound so..eh..prim and proper. haha. oh well. goodbye 2006, hello 2007!
