HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!
I haven't been blogging for a week! goshhhh. and my tagboard is growing cobwebs...haha. i ponned sch today! lol. felt a lil sick after jts yesterday and decided to stay at home today instead. i honestly think i would accomplish more at home rather than listening to lects which i can't comprehend in sch. wellwell. hmmm, alright, let me recount the happenings that occurred last week:
CNY: i just stayed at home and lazed around like a pig. basically didn't venture anywhere else except on chuer, when i went shopping with mum and bro. it was more of an expedition to discover which shops were open on chuer. haha. well, zara was! yay. and i ate xiaolongbaossssss.
SEDUCING MR. PERFECT: watched it on friday with vanessa and cheryl. it's kind of plotless, but who cares? we were there to drool over daniel henney =P and i think the female lead is very beautiful! she would have looked much better with lustrous locks though. somehow the movie confuses me. so in the end, is love a game of power and manipulation? is it the girl's fault that guys ditch her all the time, just because she's "too nice"? well i think it sounds like a lousy break-up line coming from jerks. urgh.
Saturday:had LEAPS in the morning and it was the first one i really paid attention to. okay, maybe the second because i thought that the grooming one last year was really interesting too. so anyway, the people from BrightSparks came over to talk to us about our career direction and interview skills. i have been thinking alot about my future these few days, and when my dad asked me a few days ago which course i want to do in university, i couldn't give him a definite answer. i rank personal interest higher than financial aspects in terms of career choices, but apparently my parents hold opposite views. well, i very much want to earn more than just a living. of course, i have a baseline for the salary. i just cannot imagine myself working without any passion for the job. so what if i earn a five-digit sum per month. all i can say is people have different work values. worse come to worse, i'll just marry someone rich and be a tai-tai. RIGHTTTT. haha.
afterwhich, i joined my team mates and we headed to coach's house! his house has many reflective surfaces which is pretty cool for zi-lian people like us. there's a big mirror right beside the dining table, reflective glass-like surface at the sink area, ceiling-to-floor mirrors in the room and many more. the bathroom in coach's room has TRANSPARENT doors. who would dare to use it!!! zomg. then we played daidi, candoo! and csi: las vegas boardgame. he has many interesting and exotic-looking board games! i think we all enjoyed candoo! the most. it involves drawing and acting, something like pictionary and taboo. kaikai and meimei are good at guessing! haha. somehow i always get funny actions to act out, and ridiculously difficult animals to draw. how is one supposed to draw a dragon?! and act out pin a tail on the donkey?! we all had a good laugh :D some of us went to play CSI: las vegas board game with the guys. it was a pity that i had to leave early and couldn't finish the game ): i want to get my hands on the CSI one! i hope to own it someday. it's so super fun and challenging.
i left early to attend pri sch gathering at billy bombers. a day filled with activities. haha. jason, kenneth, samuel, jian ning, cherlyn, weixin, dorothy and i were the only ones from our class. rather sad. i think some of them couldn't make it
and some probably didn't want to make it. wow i'm amazed at the number of ex-es weixin and cherlyn have. while people like sam, kenneth and i have none to speak of. HOW SAD IS THAT. and i realised how terribly guai i actually am in comparison to them. oh goody-two-shoes me. btw, billy bombers food sucks. i didn't believe it when my bro told me just a week ago, but having tried the roast chicken and chips, it really puts me off. the chips are so soggy and tasteless! URGHHHH. the roast chicken is only mediocre. the only thing decent is probably the milkshake.
ended up at Mind's Cafe near Paradiz and it's one cool place. i definitely want to go there again! it's the perfect place for gatherings and probably those old-time ones because the games can warm everyone up. we played a much more exciting version of heart attack and also SAY WHAT. wish we had tried more games tho. dorothy and i went home while the rest were still there playing. i think my pri-sch friends are a damn crazy and funky bunch of people. hope to see them around more often. heh.
JTS: jts was held yesterday at oxford hotel. was feeling a little ill on the way there, but wasn't feeling as moody as i would be when i fall sick. outings such as jts is an eye-opener to the type of outfits our classmates and juniors would wear. everlyn was dressed like the magician assistant! super cute (: we all wanted to try her white covered heels. and her hairdo made her look like misa in deathnote 2. but she emphasises that she's not as evil as misa. haha. i think all the girls looked good (: alright, and the guys too. yuming had especially dressed up for the occasion, arriving in a striped button-down shirt and tie. good sense of dressing. and foongming looked totally photoshoot-worthy with her chic dress and heels! so gorgeous. she should let her hair down more often and wear contacts. when she appeared with edmund and lih hern, they seemed like family! lih hern being their child. lol. the food was so-so la. i didn't have much of an appetite so i didn't have a second helping. sang quite a bit after dinner. the karaoke was definitely the plus point. haha. having to walk all the way there from bugis mrt station was a killer, especially for those wearing heels. but i think we kind of ignored those who didn't sing ): ohwell. i hope everybody enjoyed it...hmmm.
i can't wait for next tues to come!!! *hinthint.

just watched a walk to remember and felt like blogging...as expected i cried buckets, especially towards the ending. just like the way i did when i read the book a few months ago. it makes me wonder what are the things you would do for the ones you love, especially near the dying moments...guess we would never really find out till it's time.
this is from the bible, and though i'm not a Christian, i find it so true:
Love is patient, Love is kind,
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
Love never fails.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
i had a wonderful valentine's day this year (: albeit the fact that cross country was scheduled on the same day, i actually had fun running too! lol. surprisingly, i don't feel as tired as i did last year. i'm already very satisfied with my position, given that my stamina dropped from sec 4 onwards. enjoyed chatting with ALI and elaine before the run. ali is crazy!!! she pronounces the word "gerbera" as "gerberjill". we concluded that she can't pronounce words starting with "ge". lol. so now she's nicknamed as gerberjill! she made me so confused in the end i said gerberjill instead of gerbera too! oh well. ahbengs would pronounce gerbera as "jibehla." lol.
thank you yuming for e orange-red gerberas! it was really sweet of you to give flowers to us girls :D but then the petals kept dropping i had to throw them away before i got home ): i think the spot where i placed my gerberas has manymany petals around it. haha. thank you sikai for e dark pink gerbera too! in the end you didn't manage to overtake the girls and run with us. lol. and meimei! we are so lame we actually bought each other flowers to exchange -.- but nvm, i like to receive flowers!
oh yes, and thanks to EVERYONE who gave me presents today! squadmates, classmates, team mates, juniors etc :D i was totally not paying attention during bio and chem tut la! too excited about vee day alr. haha. luckily we didn't have to attend econ tut cuz of fire drill. we were happily having break when the alarm starts to ring. and denny just bought his food at the instant it rang! hahahahaha. damn suay.
and yay i got to see my ZLKP and huiqi today! haven't seen them for a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG time. they're still are lovely as ever (:

Dark Blue-Jack's Mannequin
I have, I have you breathing down my neck, breathing down my neck
I don't, don't know what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I'll wait, I'll wait for the ambulance to come, ambulance to come
Pick us up off the floor what did you possibly expect under this condition so
Slow down, this night's a perfect shade of
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning 'till there's nothing but dark blue
Just dark blue
And this flood, this flood is slowly rising up, swallowing the ground
Beneath, my feet. Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so
I'll swim, I'll swim as the water rises up sun is sinking and now
All I can see is the planets in a row suggesting it's best that I
Slow down this nights a perfect shade of
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning dark blue
We were boxing, we were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we were boxing) you were swinging from Mars
And then the water reached the west coast
And took the power lines, the power lines
And it was me and you and the whole town underwater
There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning and burning down
Dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning now there's nothing but dark blue
If you've ever been alone you'll know dark blue
If you've ever been alone you'll know, you'll know

Santa Monica- Savage Garden
In santa monica in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In santa monica you get your
Coffee from
The coolest places on the
Promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable everywhere
You turn
Its there I sit and wonder what am i
Doing here
But on the telephone line i
Am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or
Norman mailer
And you wouldn't know the
Difference
Or would you
In santa monica all the people got
Modern names
Like jake or mandy
And modern bodies too
In santa monica on the boulevard
Youll have to dodge those
In line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more
Than this
But on the telephone line i
Am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or
Norman mailer
And you wouldnt know the
Difference
On the telephone line I am
Any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader or
Space invader
And you wouldn't know
The difference
Or would you
Bruised- Jack's Mannequin
I've got my things, I'm good to go
You met me at the terminal
Just one more plane ride and it's done
We stood like statues at the gate
Vacation's come and gone too late
There's so much sun where I'm from
I had to give it away, had to give you away
And we spent four days on an
Island at your family's old hotel
Sometimes perfection can be
It can be perfect hell, perfect...
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised
I lace my Chucks, I walk the aisle
I take my pills, the babies cry
All I hear is what's playing through
The in-flight radio
Now every word of every song
I ever heard that made me wanna stay
Is what's playing through
The in-flight radio, and I
And I am, finally waking up
Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
Don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, yeah
So read your books, but stay out late
Some nights, some nights, and don't think
That you can't stop by the bar
You haven't shown your face here since the bad news
Well I'm here till close, with fingers crossed
Each night cause your place isn't far
And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, she still counts the minutes
That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised, bruised, bruised
Till the dawn-Drew Sidora

mass-spamming of songs. haha. went to do cip at boon keng yesterday with the ocip ppl! i really learnt quite abit from the lady whose house we helped to clean. in fact, we didn't have to do much because she just moved in a month ago! we are visiting her next saturday :D listened to her talk about her golden days (she was a dressmaker for 31 years!!! and she made fabulous clothes) and buddhism. and i think alot of what she said made sense. i felt kind of guilty when she kept praising us being helpful teenagers. can't believe that she said mingren very pretty. aigiahnwdheywhisnakl. the exact words were, " ta hen mei." ohmysky. looking forward to see her again next saturday (: we are going to help her put the framed portraits on the wall! yay.
after chem spa is over i would be soso glad. chinese new year is coming soon! wheee~ i just wanna slack at home and pig outtttt. don't think i would be going to m'sia to visit my relatives. so, i would mostly stone at home and probably be out once or twice. nvm, i shall catch up with sleeeep. someone invite me to play mahjong! i want to try my luck this year. haha. valentine's before cny. how lame it is to have cross-country on the same day. you lug ur presents to macritchie, put them on the grass patches and go run. how exciting. hmmm. wonder what i should get for my angel and mortal! my mortal haven't reply me for a super long time....he/she is gonna geddit on v day. HEH HEH HEH.
