Peek-a-boo (literally, right cali? lol)
Baking with (part of)the IJ-SA Alumni and night out with the bowlers in pictures!
Edit/ Mommy cleared the unsightly mess in my room and gathered a pile of letters she found from in between notes, in my file pocket etc. They were letters dated from the beginning of last year- was forced to take a walk down memory lane, got teary-eyed and felt all warm and fuzzy inside. Now that we've moved on completely, and our minds no longer clouded by angst etc, I'm decidedly happy that it happened since we did create some very lovely memories while it lasted, so no regrets afterall. :) It got me missing some of them girlfriends too. It's amazing how a few words of encouragement/affection scribbled on scraps of paper (theres even one on an angpaoo! HAHA:D) make a world of a difference. It doesn't matter how lenghthy, really, cause every little thing counts! (ee sorry this phrase is overused hahha) So all these letters went into my locked drawer, which I open now&then, when nostalgia (triggered by Class95 lol) hits me hard.
I gotta admit though, I'm a lot more touched now than then. I should start counting my blessings everyday from now and stop taking all these angels around me for granted. ):
Anyhow, things I regretted doing in the past, I don't anymore, figured they must have all happened for a reason. There were times I regretted trying out for House Comm, regretted coming to SA, regretted not doing enough in a friendship, regretted not trying harder to get to know some of the classmates, regretted being swayed into a relationship (I rmbr being so firm bout wanting to swear off boys for two years, lol), regretted not studying hard enough, regretted wasting my whole j1 year that cost me the scholarship and continuing with 4subs, regretted not concentrating more during trainings and during nationals, oh and soo much more.
Some people I'm glad I met/became closer to in SA: The bowlers:) (the girls especially, adam, the juniors, the seniors), the classmates:) (especially jingxiu, qianhui and xinle), those of OG15 including mark:), andrew, the housecommers:), the IJ-SA alumni:D and some teachers esp mr.soh. You've all been awesome in your own special ways. LOVEEE!<3
SO, thats about it, you must be really bored to have read the whole thing, haha. Hokay, gotta shower & get ready & pack since it'll be 2 nights away from homeeee. BYE WORLDZZZ :D
"I dare you to love me."
Thumbsup for Step Up!:) I'd love to watch it again, if only movie tics weren't so ridiculously expensive in Singapore. (It's only 3.50 in Malaysia! Hahah)
Yesterday was spent swimming/jacuzzi-ing/steam-rooming which was lovely, though the night didn't quite unfold like I thought it would, but grr, never mind that. Thankfully, shopping alone for two hours was surprisingly therapeutic,so it was some me-time there. :) Scouted around for this little shop with Reg & boyfriend and helped Cali with her prom dress. Haven't spoken mandarin for so long, the whole conversation with the saleswoman was EMBARRASSINGLY funny! Bumped into IJ girls+ Kerwin+ Michelle+ Ade at the REPC, and got quite worried upon seeing so many tanned and lanky runners. :/
Am lookin forward to tomorrow! :) And CHALET WITH BOWLERS next week! YAY!
Baked healthy muffins with olive oil&no butter and just gave most of em away :) Baking makes me hairpee!
1)Chocolate muffins with white&milk choc chunks, a generous dollop of nutella in the centre and chopped almonds on top
2)Cinnamon with diced apple and orange peel
3)Sliced bananas with chopped walnuts
YUM!
Home is where zee love is :)
HELLO WORLD I AM BACK! YAY I was starting to get homesick! Had tons of FUN! Indulged in heavenly hawker food, shopped till we dropped, and laughed till our sides and cheeks ached :) :) Spent quite a bit but the little getaway was too enjoyable in all senses to bother bout the gaping holes in our pockets. We even saw a pureety rainbow during our drive back! But we ate SODAMNALOT I feel terribly guilty now hahahah okayyy photos some other day!
SERENE: Hey love!!! Yes it's def time to meet up, we always say we will but we never reallyy ): I still have your christmas+birthday pressie from last year, omg! Hahah youve been very missed too, hope to see you soon! Big hugs! :):)
The end : )
And so the day I’ve been waiting for has arrived! I felt a slight wave of relief wash over me after they announced, “Pencils down.”. Sean was asking why I looked so stoned though; s’pose it’s the sudden.. absence of goals. Reminded me of how it was after Os and Chem MCQ was our last paper too! Funny how we look forward to emancipation so much, and when the long-awaited end is right before you, you suddenly feel there’s nothing to look forward to anymore, and you feel a little like a lost kid with no direction. Okaaay, maybe it’s just me. And I realized today was the last time I put on the SA uniform (omg I can’t believe I still don’t know how to tie my tie! Wth hahah). I like having uniforms. ):
Anyway, I borrowed lovely books which I can’t wait to read since I happened to be in town- yay to chic lit : ) Picked up two on hair&make-up too. Been mulling over whether or not to do my hair/makeup myself for prom cause I wanna keep it simple, but then again my skills are…non-existant. False lashes look damn coolzz, I wanna try em out! But the post-Rapture mascara incident has left me quite traumatized, so. LOL Vic, help me okay! Youre like a make-up guru compared to me : )
Anyhow, today was overall really pleasant- haven’t felt so relaxed for way too long : ) Wasn't all that eventful, but the company mattered more: )And YAYYY no more mad rushes to do this and that, no more cramming of concepts/theories/formulae that I doubt can ever be applied. (think: math). ECP was postponed though! Boo):
Everything is suddenly so much more slow-paced now, but no complains! I shall enjoy this whole bumming around phase while I can : )
So many people asked (mostly in genuine concern, but some are just plain annoying nosy friends of the parents >:( ) how the papers have been and I haven’t been able to come up with a good answer, cause honestly I don’t know myself. Thoughts of possibly not making it into U and yadayada scare me to death cause I can’t imagine disappointing my parents (and myself); they’ve been so supportive and they don’t stress me at all which is worse, but I shall keep them worries stashed away for now and be a vainpot and read hair&makeup books and get excited bout prom! Hahaha bye folks :D
P/S I was thinking of selling muffins/cupcakes of all sorts of flavours online. Yknow, the sort with pretty icing! : )
BOINK BOINK BOINK SO EXCITING
OMAGADDD, I cannot wait for Friday to come! Cause I've a list of activities all lined up! Highlights: Vivo+cake making on Friday, BBQ on Saturday, and SHOPPING!TRIP!TO!MSIA TILL WED! All of which probably sound oddly trivial to you who has no exams, but I can hardly contain my excitement, WOOHOO!! :D :D Now let's get the exams over and done withhhh
Unfit!
Decided to stay home today, instead of heading down to Wheelock which has become my second home haha and the exercising gotta start again or I'll have to start shopping at Mothercare! :O Running/swimming after exams, anyone? :)
):
This. is. a. big. fat. nightmare.
I feel extremely crushed/upset/stupid/worried. Only good thing that's come out of this is that I realized how some friends are cant-live-withouts. Thank God for them. <3 and if you read this, thank you to you too, my semi-friend-semi-stranger.
Hopped into the car, and THIS was the first thing I heard -
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
BAD OMEN BAD OMEN, I THOUGHT TO MYSELF. In the morning, a creepycrawly crawled onto my blouse, I lost my phone (and thankfully got it back) and the paper was a horrorrrrr. !#$%
