hehe pictures koped from szeyun cause my camera's still malfunctioning. :(
(first) complete class photo
back to my weekly updates.
earlier on monday it was our PD tutor's birthday so we bought him a cake to celebrate (and skip civics at the same time). then guitar auditions commenced on wed but they couldnt finish so its postponed to next wed instead, and that also means i still got to practise during cny! plus so many tutorials to do, i should probably spend chu er at home doing hmwk. :/ luckily geog test was manageable cause what i studied came out! but then again, for geog especially, manageable doesnt necessarily mean scoring well. haha.
amanda's birthday ytd! though my surprise kind of failed, at least we got her the germany num top (and saw chewps' love there LOL)! then the 8 of us had steamboat at amk. after dinner sy and helen left and the remaining 6 had breezer at the playground. plus a bottle of hoegaarden after i got home. :)
today was a half day of lessons + cny concert. then amanda, chewps & i went tanning for abt 2 hours, only to get my face RED and my body not any tanner. my face probably looks like one mandarin orange alr. :( then i finally went to chop off my burnt fringe so now my hair is finally back to normal! :)
friday nights are emo nights, cause you look back on what you did in school, and what you failed to do. well, sometimes i think i make the worst friend ever.
i dont know where i stand;
because the heart never lies.
sorry for the lack of updates on this blog. its been a busy week since school reopened, or rather, already a busy week although school just started, and that explains why i'm not longer coming online as often, cause my nights are always spent completing the never-ending tutorials. :(
anw Os results were out on monday as well, and seeing st nicks do so well makes me feel both happy and stupid. and my friend, who shall not be named, just found out that she got leukemia one day before she received her Os results. whats the use even though she did well. i really really feel damn sad for her, but i cant do anything to relieve her pain. boy, kimo really scares me. i just hope she can recover soon. life is so fragile isnt it. :(
on a lighter note, jiaying, chewps & i went for simin's M18 bbq yesterday! i'd hate to sound like some alcoholic, but the absolute peach & mango were really the highlights of the night because we had so much fun playing all the silly games and laughing at chewps take each sip with her disgusted face. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIMIN btw! :D
well, i'm kind of looking forward to chinese new year! because i've been craving for steamboat since last month and i'll finally get to eat it on reunion night! coupled with lots of angpows so i can finally buy the stuffs i need. haha. but then again, the festive spirit seems to be diminishing over time. maybe its recession and they have to cut costs so they arent putting up enough decorations to make it feel like cny? just like how they dont give us money to decorate our notice boards anymore. or maybe its just me, because one of the many disadvantages of growing up is that it makes you more dissatisfied with things. :/
back to gp!
wash away the memories;
because the heart never lies.
well ogl training commenced today, spending twelve hours in school was definitely tiring, but fun to a certain extent because my fellow ogls are actually quite a nice funny bunch of people! and it kind of brought back some fond memories last year at veejay. the mass dances and all. :)
of course, i will never ever forget all my dear girl-friends from st nicks. even though the time spent with them have decreased almost exponentially, each and every gathering still brought about lots of fun & laughter. :)
then it was one year spent with my dearest class 0308! though i am probably still quite distant with some of them, i hope that our class will be more bonded this year. 24 people it will remain. :)
last but not least, cambridge trip was definitely one that made me learn many things, and also motivated me to work hard so that i can go back there to study next year. collating these photos really made me miss that place alot alot, and most importantly, i realise I MISS MY LONG HAIR. -.-
reading some blogs that made me feel a teeny weeny bit sad about how things always end up wrong. well 2009 started quite well for me and i really hope it stays this way. may all the unpleasant stuff stay away from me. i need to learn to let go.
LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO LET GO. :(
and some of my seniors are entering army in a few days' time! so all the best to them! haha quite exciting to see them botak. well, we'll see. :)
people come and people leave. what about you?
because the heart never lies.
on 2nd jan 2008, i reported to vj as a freshman and found myself in Cyrus Constantine.
on 2nd jan 2009, i received a call as an OGL and find myself going to be in Centaurus.
LOL. two full days ogl training on monday and tuesday. i really mean FULL DAYS since we're gonna end at night! and i seriously hope it wont be too draining cause i still got to do my hmwk.. :/
anyway, the left side of my wardrobe is now filled with my new clothes and thats like 9 tops, 4 bottoms, 2 skirts and 1 cardigan. OMG. feeling super guilty, but i'm still pleased with my buy today - a top from topshop that i've been eyeing since a week ago and i finally bought it! the most expensive piece so far but i guess its worth the money.. :) & i realise that i have been out shopping everyday ever since the new year started, which isnt exactly a good thing because i'm spending way too much! the first two days were shopping with chewps, and somehow i feel she's a changed person ever since the clock struck twelve on new year's day? she's suddenly shopping for clothes at zara & fox and not topman anymore! LOL. :p
okay awjingwen, sales & chinese new year are no longer valid reasons to shop. im so gonna put uhu glue on my shorts so that i wont leave the house and be tempted to buy somemore! :/
brings back fond memories;
because the heart never lies.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL! :D
the first post of 2009! and its probably gonna be a super duper long post! heh heh.
shall start off with my new year resolutions which takes effect from today! not in any order though, so here goes:
#1 bitch less, learn more - im definitely not a bitch, but i think i am quite guilty of this. well this time i will try to keep my mouth shut and cut down on the bitching sessions!
#2 be a filial daughter - spend more time with my parents, and grandma as well! appreciate the things that they do and be nice to them :)
#3 help with the housework - help my mummy do some housework on weekends! cause i reckon i'll probably be too shagged on weekdays to help out. but its good enough okay :p
#4 less shopping sprees - impulsive shopping especially, cause i end up not wearing what i buy and its a total waste of money :/
#5 clear / collect my debts - better rmbr who owe me money so that i wont be broke anymore (this goes out especially to someone with the initials GCP)
#6 swim at least once weekly fortnightly - for practical reasons, i know i am surely not that diligent to drag myself to a pool every week. how i wish i had a swimming pool just downstairs! but ah, i shall not complain haha
#7 no empty promises / don't pangseh - not gonna stretch my limits and play the nice girl anymore, cannot means cannot! & i know how sucky it feels to be pangseh-ed, especially at the very last minute so i won't do it unless its really emergency!
#8 be punctual - i'm actually pretty punctual for school, but i'll try not to be more than 15 minutes late if it comes to other appointments heh
#9 make new friends, guys & girls alike - probably shuai-ges too! hahaha
#10 appreciate my wonderful friends - i'm gonna cherish all the great friendships i had so far and make time for my friends if they ever need me because they really rock :)
#11 plan my time better - very important for a busy year ahead! but of course, life for me will not only revolve around studying
#12 pack my room once a month - at the rate that i'm messing up the tables, i should be packing my room everyday but i'm just too lazy and monthly sounds more practical :p
#13 pick up a new language - preferably german or korean so i can go to those countries after As!
#14 learn driving - if i am allowed i will and hopefully i can pass! :)
#15 get at least six hours of sleep everyday - i dont wanna look like a living zombie or a panda with eyes that really look like o.O
#16 get over the things that makes me miserable - take things easy and learn to let go at the right time
#17 take good care of myself - fall sick less because it sucks to be sick and i probably can't afford to be either
#18 study hard for As - complete all tutorials, study for all tests, do whatever i can to get my aces! :D
18 resolutions for an eighteen-year-old-to-be, i guess thats pretty much enough cause i doubt i can keep to them for one whole year anyway. haha. we'll wait and see.
anyway, received the new year at vivocity at the channel 8 countdown party with chewps, amanda, yinshuen & helen! mandice was supposed to go but she's sick. :( hmm we had one round of mahjong at chewps house first before we went down to vivo. the queue was crazily long, and we actually thought of giving up and just go home to watch it on tv, but luckily we managed to get in without queueing because we had tickets! so we were there for about an hour or so before we went back to chewps house for another round of mahjong till this morning! no pictures yet because my camera refuse to co-operate and the pictures are disappearing! seriously, idk why. hopefully the pictures will still be around after i send it for repair! :/
did a little bit of shopping at town after a short nap at chewps place. AND YES I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I HAVENT BROKEN #4 ALTHOUGH I WAS SO TEMPTED TO BUT I DIDNT BUY ANYTHING TODAY! :D
okay, sometimes i think i really need to salute chewps for her kiasu-ness. for its that very KSness that made it possible for me to do things i probably wouldnt dare do if not for her. just take the countdown for example, all the cutting queues and squeezing through the crowds entitled us the chance to stand at the first row of seats during the countdown. haha. and there's probably much more encounters which i will not go into details here because it isnt exactly very glamorous. haha. but friends like these can really spice up your life. :)
so 2008 wasnt exactly a fantastic year for me but i guess its still good enough to get by. idk whether its because i have grown up and i am expecting more, but life is and can no longer be as smooth-sailing as it used to be. perhaps its time we break out from our sheltered lives and experience all the ups & downs of life. take my college life for example, i didnt really have much of a choice for a sudden change of environment from vj to aj, but eventually after all the complaints and disappointments, aj's actually not bad too. and cambridge was a real eye-opener too. i lost some friends, but i established new friendships too. so i've grown to realise that when one door closes, another will open, and as long as i believe, i shall never lose my way. :)
i guess i can never express it in words, but i'm really thankful for my family and friends that i am able to pull through and be who i am today. do continue to be there! :)
what goes around comes around;
because the heart never lies.
