Oh and I forgot two v important people in the prev post, Luke and Joey!

Joey - Hi. I'm sorry for what happened and I think you hate me, but hey you're still a v impt friend t me! Hope you're doing good :)

Luke - Hey dude thanks for being part of my 2007, 2008, and though I didn't expect it, 2009. Nv expected you t hear fr you in March this year. I think you still read this so here goes - I had a friend who helped me make that decision, and NO he is not the reason I said what I said because things are not what you think. Which frustrated me btw. You can get really annoying, you know!!! He wanted t come when I met you BUT I think you would have punched him or sth....Ok I exaggerate but you know what I mean. Honestly? Although it might not seem like it, for you I know it will spell happy in the long run. Trust me. Hope you're doing good, hope t seeyou arnd sometime :)

Okay now that that's done,

My brother's going t P1 this Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg I don't believe this, he's growing up right before my very eyes!!!

And and and I've finally found a pair of gold heels,

which is something I've ALWAYS WANTED,

so, happy much :)

Happy 2010!

And wow it's 2010 now officially 2010, I can't kid myself that the new year is yet t come anymore!

So on NewYears'Eve we watched Alvin&TheChipmunks hahahaha omg its so cute it totally owns the first one! + Countdown party at Sentosa!

Sitting by the sea enjoying the wind + Lycheemargharitas/martinis/beer/SingaporeSlings + Dancing till 2am, and we finally collapsed into bed at 4am, what a happy happy new year!

And next day, FIRST DAY OF 2010! The kids came over t Sentosa and we just slacked around for the whole day till it started pouring in the evening!

2009 was fantastic, today when I came home I looked through some old photos and I really thank God for each and every person who has walked into my life, I honestly couldn't ask for anything more!

To the people who make me smile everyday :)

Ok long post ahead. In no random order, and sorry no pictures cos I'm too lazy t go sift through the pictures

1T03:

I am so glad t be in this class, so so so glad. I'm so glad we're the craziest class, the most bonded class, the class that once everyone hears about they go "Ohhhhhhhhh. THAT class.", the class that teachers talk about, the class that teachers warn each other about, the class that the whole level has heard about, the class where everyone in the level knows someone in, the class that has a full length mirror and table fans, the class that had a toaster and huge jars of peanutbutter/nutella till it got confiscated, the class that has big fluffy cushions, the class that makes the most noise, the class that falls asleep every paper1 lit lesson without fail, the class that throws cake at each other come birthdays, the class that plays volleyball and almost breaks the speakers, the class that drives our home tutor absolutely nuts, the class that slides down skate ramps and gets our shorts all torn, the class that takes 1600 photos during a 4dayOCIP trip, the class that does everything together, the class that will be there for each other no matter what. I love my JC class and this I say w all my heart! Special thanks t the class clique - Jane Shaz Clara Maha Eugene Marcus TJ Quinten Saeful Nigel :) Especially t Jane Shaz Clara Maha Eugene Marcus - Funnest group of ppl alive, and I know you're there t listen whenever I need someone.

And t the rest of the class - You guys make my day anytime, anyplace.

ODAC BatchXII:

Wow I have so much t say I have no idea where t begin. How about I didn't even expect myself t even be in this CCA? How hard we all fought for the 27 places, all the effort and sweat we put into that fight, and when we saw our name on the board, how exhilarated we all felt? How about this year I've run more than I have in my entire life? March/June/Nov XPs - I climbed mountains that I never thought climbable, I went through experiences where I really felt like giving up, but I pushed myself on anyway. How about this year was the first time that I cycled till I couldn't breathe, pushed myself till I broke down? How about this year I climbed a rope up till the fourth floor and I got stuck up there, hence the current rope phobia? This year I've taken half an hour just t take one group photo under a waterfall, this year I've jumped off the second floor onto the first floor, this year I've discovered 10000 new running routes. But all this would not be possible without my batch, the people that I push myself on for. For the closer group of us - It's so awesome t have you all in my life, and I know I can count on you all just like you all can count on me. And we always have such tremendous fun together its crazy! Here's t HG Eleanor Amethyst JK XY ZY Jared KG TY Eugene Eliza Janyce Amanda :) And specially t HG JK Eleanor XY - you four really know the most about me I think and really thankyou for being there always. Esp during my retaining scare, you four were the ones there for me, I can tell anything t you, you're those kind of friends. To JK as well as HG - thanks for all the talktime :) but t the rest of the batch, the other 14 of you, without you, the batch would not be complete and you're all special t me in one way or the other.

IG05:

Wow it's been so long, I can't believe orientation was all the way back in February! We were so tight then, the almost daily outings, the daily breakfasts at the Mandatable, hanging out before our CCAs started without fail.....I've drifted away fr you guys and I really regret this. I had so much fun w you all and I hope that even though I haven't seen you guys in the longest time, when we next meet up, we'll still have lots of fun playing pool or whatever! Our dramamamama IG, so much has changed, but hopefully almost everything will stay the same :) The closer group of us - Rachel Amanda Sarah CW Bryan Darren Jared Astley - thanks for the mmrs, and hopefully there's lots more t come! T the rest of the IG - Don't really know y'all but we had hell lot of fun during orientation huh.

ACE(S):

Abby/Cassi/Sam - We've come so far and been through so much and I'm glad that today we're as close as ever. I rmb dearly all those crazy times in Sec2, making KhongBee want t tear out her hair, hanging out at each other's place. We've been through so many trying times, all the tears back in Sec3, and from four we've become three. But I'm so glad for the fact that although we hardly meet up nowadays (try like less than 10times in a year), everytime we meet up, it feels just like we've seen each other everyday, and I feel so comfortable w you two it's unbelievable. No matter what, you three always hold a special place in my heart, forever and ever!

Tofus:

Jocelyn especially/Ctas/Daph - Sec3and4 were really special years for me! I rmb how you three knew each other since sec2 and I only got t know you all in Sec3, but I'm really glad I did~ All the crazy photobooth sessions, all the crazy laughing sessions etc...You three are friends for life and I really mean it :) I don't know what else t say cos there's too many things and all of them mean too much t be put in words. J I've seen you the most this year and I've so grateful for that, you're one friend I will always treasure! Cheryl/Jas/JY - Although I don't really know you three that well, since we only started talking more towards the end of last year, I really enjoyed the times we spent tgt eg chalet, and I'm really stoked for the upcoming chalet!!

Flipside:

Serene especially/Brenda/Zhao/Amanda/Beatrice/Karyn - Who can forget all those crazy band moments w BTan? You all made my three years in Band the most memorable. And hey never forget, friends go through weal and woe tgt :) Serene I think I've gotten the closest t you this year although we're now one in Whitley and one in AMK, which is remarkable really. Really treasure all those talks we have!

2GYers -

Sarahh/Ana/Carmen - You guys never fail t make me smile even on my darkest days :)

Twin -

Hi twin I'm so grateful for the times we spent tgt, NZ esp!!!!! Wouldn't be the same without you. Laughing my ass off at the hilarious things you do, eg the knife, but only t have you laugh even longer and harder at me haha! I know you're always there for me t rant t if i need it and I'm eternally grateful for that. Looking forward t seeing you on the 6th :)

Azid/Yus:

You two NEVER FAIL t make me laugh at any time of the day and I REALLY REALLY MISS YOU TWO y'know! Azid the other day I saw a glow in the dark lizard and I thought of the day you bought me an entire box....And Yus that time you fell off that chair! AHAHA and yellow fats wobble wobble like a coconut tree!

Gayle/Christel/Jing/Cheryl -

I'll never forget the times we just walked out of class, hung around at the orange staircase, sung Mcfly songs at the top of our voices, and how there was this big hoo-ha abt how we wre suspected of sniffing glue...Srsly wth?! But those memories are really dear t me and I'll hold on t them always!

Pearlyn/Apple -

Hi penguin I haven't seen you in a year how have you been! I still smirk t myself whenever I think of your taiji movements during Chem and your perpetually messy hair...Miss you alot girl!

And there's so many other people, eg Jean love you always bestfriend, but if I continue this can go on forever, and this is alr long enough.

Thankyou for making my 2009 so special :) Here's t a fantabulous 2010~

2009-12-31T11:01:00.003+08:00

And I think t myself....What a wonderful world.

Wednesday the class girls came over! :) Movie marathoned, rockband etc, doing what we always do but it has been v long since the four of us hung out since we always hung out w the guys, but it was just us girls for a change! Next time I see them will be the day I turn 18. Gawd I feel so old.

Today is NEW YEAR'S EVE

LAST DAY OF 2009 OMG OMG!! The year has flown by so fast it's hardly believable. I'm still coming t terms and trying t grasp the fact that my first JC year has passed, it seems like just yesterday that I was still in SC and in that blue uniform. But this year I made so many new friends, so many great new friends, and had so many new experiences that I will always remember. This year had it all; laughter, happiness, joy, sorrow, unhappiness, tears, heartbreak, conflicts, fights, quarrels, misunderstandings, hope, smiles, but overall it was fantastic, kudos t those who made it so! This year I had t make so many decisions, decisions that up t now I'm still not sure were the right choice. This year I quarreled with my parents the most, which I am not proud of, and I wish all those shouting matches didn't happen. This year I pushed myself beyond my limits, to places I've never dreamed I'll reach. This year I finally solved things with Luke and I'm so glad things have come t a close this is the first time I'm saying this publicly but hey it's nothing more than I could ask for. "When you say nothing at all" is still my favourite song although I always turn it off whenever I hear it. Glad t see some things won't ever change. I'm glad that I still managed t keep in touch with my old friends, I hate going t new schools and then suddenly the old friends disappear....if the friendship is so easily forgotten why are you even friends in the first place? So I'm really glad for the way things have turned out :) This year I'm so grateful for old friends, for my awesomepussum class, my fantastic batch and everything else. Grateful for friends that would drop everything and listen once I felt down, friends that would go out of their way t make me smile, friends who I know will be there the minute I need them. Grateful for my class, we have a reputation as the most famous class as the class that has the most fun as the class that does the craziest things but when it gets down t the crunch we all know when t have fun and when not t. We drive all our teachers crazy though! For the closer 11 of us, you guys make me smile even on my darkest days. Grateful for my batch, all the shit things we've went through, having the reputation as the craziest cca, making it through everything together as a family. For the closer 13 of us, honestly I couldn't ask for anything more! I don't regret anything I've done this year, not a single thing. Sometimes I have doubts, but overall, 2009 was a kickass year. I'll give anything t go through it all again.

So today I didn't go for trng in the end, did the letter till abt 4am? So no way I could have woken up at 6. Pity though, I was looking forward t spending the morning of the last day of 2009 w my batch :/

Alvin&TheChipmunks later, +Sentosa for countdown/fireworks!

Happy 2009 everyone, I hope this was a memorable year, and in a little more than 12 hours, Hellloooooooooooo 2010!

"Every once in a while people step up, they rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you, and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes, it can push pretty hard, but if you look close enough you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, and if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back."

I have this sneaking suspicion that I've posted this quote before but whatever I love OTH!

Saturday HAPPY BOXING DAY! Eugene/Maha/Shaz/Clara/Jane/JK/Eugene/HG/Eleanor came over! We played sparklers and foosball and had a turkey Christmas dinner :) Maha/Eugene/Clara/HG/Eleanor stayed over and we watched Orphan hohoho not scary at all pls -.-

I had alot of fun, I love all these random gatherings at my house and I love the fact that my batchmates now know my classmates :)

Sunday Mini 2GY'06 Reunion! (You've got a smile that can light up this whole town) Botanics+My place and the neighbours complained t my parents about the noise HAHA

Monday out w Cassi+Abby! ACE ♥ BillyBombers/Failed t watch Sherlock Holmes thus we watched Princess&TheFrog which was honestly not bad!/Spizza! Then back t my place, where it was epic srsly we laughed hysterically and sang out of tune without a care in the world and did so many retarded things (ooh la la i want your bad romance), collapsed into bed at about 4am! Bacardi breezers just taste like fruitjuice but the greenapplevodka was really not bad! Mmmmmm now we know it's not the string cheese (HAHA inside joke)

Ohman I love ACE so much, everytime we hang out (even though it's only like june and dec yearly), I always get this warm fuzzy feeling inside :)

And omg while we were at town all the birds started chirping at a deafening volume and all of them started flying in one direction I was so freaked out I swear :(

Tuesday we met Nicole/Jecolia at SimplyBread for breakfast, then back t Abby's for baking + Sherlock Holmes at Great World!

Tmr there's an ODAC outing at Sentosa which I want t go for but I think I'll give it a miss since its really really early and I'm kind of sleepdeprived :(

Gonna meet the class girls tmr :)

Everyone's been asking me what I'm planning t do for my birthday since it's the big 18 and all,

But the truth is I don't really know? I just want t spend it w the people who matter and I'll be happy :) And there's been talk of having a class party on my birthday and carrying it forward overnight t Maha's birthday since his birthday is one day after mine! I think we're gonna make it happen and I'm pretty stoked because I love spending time with my class people, and I'll probably invite the batch too :)

Omg, in two weeks I'll be 18. I feel so old :( January babies ftw.

And in two days it will be 2010?!

Unbelievable where is my life flying t.

2009-12-26T00:48:00.005+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

This has always been my favourite season of the year and always will be

I've been looking forward t this since the middle of the year, and I'm so glad it's here!

I don't know why but it just feels me up w such a happy glowing feeling and I just seem t be smiling all day long :)

So Christmas Eve was spent out w Joshua/Eugene/Clara/Carmen! We couldn't get tickets for any movie because town was swamped so we just hung out and the guys helped me choose a razor for my dad, I got all my Christmas shopping done on time yay me! Dinner afters at town, my dad all but camped at the tempura station where the chef gave him a step by step tutorial, my dad was so happy! And my auntie also stole the whole bowl of cherries mm mm hahaha the waiter was giving us dirty looks. Then back t my place! Dizzily singing I wanna hold your hand and kicking our legs up in the air and spinning around in circles, the cousins welcomed in Christmas merrily, the light dancing in our eyes and our voices growing hoarse fr too much laughing...I think this might just be the best Christmas so far :)

And I've got a polaroid camera for Christmas! Wow I've always wanted it but I could never bring myself t buy it. Best present ever :) :) :)

And today, well technically yesterday since it's past twelve, we all overslept for service though because we slept so late the prev night, I'm pretty angry w myself for this though, I've always loved Christmas service :( Shopping afters + the annual Christmas party!

Love Christmas ♥

2009-12-24T10:32:00.012+08:00

So Sunday was spent shopping w Clara + we were too lazy t bake at night so we just watched InHerShoes till we fell asleep, well until she fell asleep anyway I've been having weird sleeping patterns lately, I'll only sleep at 2/3/4+, and wake up at 7 or 8. Life is great I know.

And my mum gave me a jab before I left the house and I was so devastated cos at town they wre having a blood donation drive and I wanted t donate blood again sooo badly but I couldn't! :((((((((((((((((((((

Monday Breakfast w Clara/Caroline/Janice + AMKhub w Joshua/Clara + Serangoon Gardens for lunch w Serene plus finally met the famous Richard I've been hearing so much about

+ Miss Jocelyn Tng cancelled on me so it was baking at Clara's!

Tuesday met Ctas for lunch+Avatar (Which was as good as everyone says it is)!

Srsly I hate public transport nowadays it's so bloody crowded. And people have no common sense not t get on buses when it's alr jampacked like nobody's business, hello there's such a thing as the NEXT bus?! Srsly when you see people alr teetering on the last step hanging on for dear life WHY ON EARTH DO YOU STILL TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU'RE AS SKINNY AS A BAMBOOSTICK AND CAN SQUEEZE INTO THE ONE MICROINCH OF SPACE LEFT ON THE BUS?! Because you CAN'T. I was suffocatingly sandwiched between two people arguing whether JayChou was pronounced as JayChow or JayChou. And they caused me t miss my stop. Fantastic. Just fantastic.

Anyhow. Dinner w Eleanor/HG afters and I was late for one and a half hour because Avatar was so unexpectedly long, I'm real sorry girls!

After dinner, Gabriel/Samuel came over t play Rockband! Wow long time no play.

Wednesday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SERENE :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZHAO :D

Carried out Operation Surprise Zhao/Serene at town w Abby/Brenda/Karyn/Sarahh/Melluki!

Dropping balloons off escalators, wearing loud sunglasses ignoring the stares of everyone around us, stuffing balloons in every available dustbin....I had fun :)

And I'm so glad we managed t surprise Zhao and Serene although Serene's was kind of epic fail since she saw us since we were still decorating the cake -.- And I'm also glad she fell for my TY story hehhehheh even though we surprised her at town instead of her house in the end! Happy happy birthday girls, hope you had an awesome seventeenth :)

But I also gave tanning at Sentosa w the batchmates a miss so pretty bummed about that but nvm I'm sure I'll see them soon :D

Thursday CHRISTMAS EVE Overslept for trng heh I woke up t 10missed calls :(

2009-12-22T12:19:00.002+08:00

My gift is my song

And this one's for you

You can tell everybody,

That this is your song

It might be quite simple but,

Now that it's done

I hope you don't mind,

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

2009-12-20T00:52:00.002+08:00

I swear this guy is really quite good.

Today I had a good time Frolicking (they made me break my diet!!!!!! >:/) + getting lost in 313

+ they came back t my place for Geisha and we just sat and talked while the hours flew by without us suspecting a thing

I've missed this :)

WELCOME BACK ABBY! :D

And come tmr, WELCOME BACK BRENDA! :D

I foresee the next week t be absolutely delightful, I'm really looking forward t it!

2009-12-18T22:18:00.002+08:00

Absolute favourite poem of all time

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

-Ee Cummings

So back fr Japan, and boy am I glad t be back in an english-speaking country.

Japan was wonderful though, esp the weather, though at times I was reminded v much of being on top of Liang, the cold plus rain is no joke.

Also, there's nothing like beer t warm you up on a winter's day

My staple food there was CREPES+Sashimi+Tempura it's no wonder I've put on weight ohno ):

Missed Singapore and everyone quite abit really.

Miss the batch, haven't had the chance t see them since XP which was almost a month ago, what is this :(

But at least I'm seeing some of the class clique tmr already so that puts a smile on my face, it feels so weird not seeing them for two weeks!

+all the long overdue meetups!!

And also,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CASSI! :)

Sorry I didn't wish you on the actual day itself but I hope you had an awesome one! We'll celebrate properly when Abby gets back k (Which is tmr!!) Love you 2GY partner and fellow creator of the kickass khongbee comics! After everything we went through, I'm glad we're still the same as ever! ♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAYLE! :)

Miss the good old times where we'll hang out so much with the RGPS gang and all, time for a meetup I think!!

So it's a week t Christmas.

I look forward t it everyday :)

2009-12-07T09:25:00.017+08:00

I really like this :)

StandChart on Sat-Sun!

Didn't meet Jocelyn in the end :( I'll meet you when I get back ok!

Marcus+Clara+Eugene came over in the afternoon,

then we met Maha+Jane+Shaz for late dinner at Marina Sq, hung out at Esplanade+Clarke Quay till 1am then went t report at the Padang!

The Kenyan runners really never fail t amaze me!

And there was this part where there were like 65635435345453 runners all at once and we were severly shorthanded and we were handling the 100plus hahaha all 6 of us just panicked and I rmb shouting omg I want t be an octopus nownownow and all of us collapsing into fits of laughter but we had t move our hands so fast it was just too much! After that we got so scared we built a sturdy fortress of cups before the crazy wave of 21k-ers came around and yay it didn't disappoint :)

Lunch afters, then they came back t my place again! Attempted t watch two movies but we all ko-ed throughout HAHA.

I'll just let the many pics do the talking :)

Gonna put up my Christmas tree, a little overdue I usually put it up in November!

Trade a thousand tomorrows just for yesterday.

And now I'll be flying off t Japan till the eighteenth!

I'm quite excited, bring on the sashimi mm mm!

I'll really miss everyone though, but nvm when I get back it's only a week more t Christmas :)

2009-12-05T00:05:00.000+08:00

10 photos fr each trip, because every picture speaks a thousand words.

There's so many more pictures, every one holding a treasure trove of memories.

I must say we are really v big camwhores, for XP we have maybe 600 photos in total (fr three cams) and fr OCIP we have 1200 fr my cam alone and not forgetting the other two cams

But pictures always make me smile because 10 years down the road when our memories fade, pictures don't. They remind me of each and every precious moment, reminds me of when we smiled, when we laughed, when we loved. Live, love, laugh. And these are memories I never want t forget!

ODAC November XP:

Impossible is nothing.

Limits, like fears, is nothing but an illusion.

Through it all, through all the hardships, through all the tears, through all the sweat, through all the shivers, through all the conflicts, through all the decisions, through all the laughter and the strength t carry on,

We made it as a batch ♥

This was a story so beautiful, a story that we can carry with us throughout our entire lives, and now that story is complete.

1T03 OCIP:

We were strangers starting out on a journey.

Never dreaming what we had t go through.

Eternally grateful for my class, they never fail t brighten up my day.

Grateful for our clique (you 8 + the 3 who didn't go make me smile), grateful for the rest of our classmates because I feel so comfortable talking t everyone it's amazing really. And we didn't get into/cause any major trouble this time around, great big achievement woohoo!

So Today met Joshua+Eugene+Clara+Shaz at HollandV for lunch+haircut!

My haircut took an hour+++ omg hahha while Clara's took five min

And the two guys just sat there patiently and rotted while waiting for me

Heh I feel so bad for making them wait for so long! Thankyou :)

Then I met dear Serene at Serangoon Gardens for dinner!

And fyi, she killed a frog hahhaha it's really gross.

And I get so depressed everytime I think abt the way I looked a week ago when I returned fr XP and now where I've blown up like a balloon it's so gross I can't stand myself.

Bloody buffets.

And wow it's December, where did my November go t?!

But Christmas is coming, that's always sth t look forward t :)

2009-12-04T00:11:00.002+08:00

On Sunday I spent 10hours writing notes for my batch since I couldn't be there for debrief.

I really put all my heart and soul into it, I'm glad they liked it :)

So November Expedition was a blast.

Perak+Johor+NegeriSembilan - Gunung Liang+Datuk+Panti.

Initially supposed t climb five but we weren't ready.

Too exhausted and too injured.

Liang was crazy, it rained super heavily and it was like what 2000m above sea level

So we all shook like crazy wow it was really an experience

And Liang showed me a whole new side t the guys, my heart really went out t them

They were my motivation t keep going and t stay cheerful and t ignore the cold.

There was also a landslide! Ground was super muddy and slippery.

Took us two full continuous days t go up and down!

We all cried on the summit because we've been through so much and finally we made it!

Datuk was our unfinished business, I'm glad we finally summitted!

But it was freakin hot like at least 34degrees, and plus we ran out of water and the nearest river was at the bottom?!

I got so dehydrated I couldn't focus and my hands started shaking

I'm so glad our batch made it through though, freakin proud of each and every one of them!

River water owns btw.

Panti was our funnest mountain so far, we literally ran down all the way!

The last night we all camped at Macs overnight, tanked till 6ish, slept for an hour then we all went home t KO.

Talked and laughed and gossiped and bitched and spam ate at Macs

I really love my batch I know no matter what happens we always got each other's back

Adversity brings us closer and through this XP, our whole batch got closer I'm so happy everytime I think about it I get this warm glowing feeling yay Batch12 all the way! I'm also really proud of the food department, fellow foodies ftw!

I also feel that this was the most tough XP ever we were so exhausted and injured in the end (I got like 4534534 cuts and bruises and three rotten toenails), oh ya and my shoe sole came out halfway I had t climb all three mountains with a shoe that has a mouth.

And the prev four days was OCIP w the class

Helped out at the orphanage, we painted three classrooms and cleaned up the whole place!

The eight of us hung out together all the way, the five guys and three girls

We really had a lot of fun I enjoyed myself so much!

After OCIP Me+Marcus+Eugene+Clara caught NewMoon+Dinner

The werewolves are so cute omg I feel like hugging them

Got back abt an hour ago and I'm dead beat.

Update more another time + pictures!

2009-11-22T11:52:00.002+08:00

We climb and climb, and at the top we fly

Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time

XP is today, and I'm really quite excited

I don't know what t expect actually?

But I know no matter how tough or how shitty it gets or how little sleep we get (which will be vvvvvv little, I'm kind of worried about this actually) or how frickin cold it gets (which I'm worried abt too I will shiver like no one's business I think I'm the girl that's the most afraid of cold), it'd be awesome just going through it all w my batchmates :)

So here's t the next six days, here's t my 19 batchmates and the 7 who will be w us in spirit, here's t getting through this together!

2009-11-22T00:50:00.019+08:00

Had an Batch12 sleepover at my place on Sat!

Had a turnout of 17/27 which was pretty good considering it was a stayover :)

Heaps of fun, I love my batch lots esp seeing how far we've come fr being total strangers in Feb :)

Rockband/RavingRabbids (the rabbit still majorly annoys me btw) + Movie marathon + Swimming at 4am

We watched FinalDestination and the HillsHaveEyes and after that they decided t watch HSM -.-

They karaoked and since I'm not such a huge fan so me and a few guys went out t talk and missed HSM altogther hurhurhur I'm so glad

We were all so exhausted though we all just ko-ed the next day

Yay batch12 ftw ♥

Monday had morning run+trng

HAHA when I went everyone was like omg so tired fr yesterday

After trng Eleanor + HG came over, talked and talked + The last house on the left which was honestly not bad hahahahah last death just like Sylvia Plaith

Tuesday trng (I was late for one hour btw I only woke up when trng started and the whole batch plus my teacher waited for me for an hour. !!) + finally had the time t go for a family dinner. It was nice :) +BannerPainting!

Wednesday trng, went t EastCoast w Donna+HG+Eleanor+Amanda+MX+Phua t settle food stuff

And ate at this darling place called Everything w Fries, the food was honestly pretty good.

Then met Clara+Jane for dinner at town :)

Thursday Backpack trng at Sembawang/Marsiling, we trekked for five+hours with heavy backpacks and it rained really heavily and we were all shivering like no one's business but we sang so much and got really high, it was really fun. We also had our own little adventures on real steep slopes and ulu parts of Singapore :)

Long late lunch afters, then met Clara at Vivo, and she came over t stay afters :)

Friday trng then Sembawang w Eleanor+Amanda+HG t settle food stuff and dinner!

Oh and we also did 50 Grandstands within forty min, last time at the beginning of the year we took 2 and a half hours, wow I'm so proud of our batch, look at how far we've come :) :) And it also marked the last trng of the year. I rmb our first trng was the long run t MacRitchie and I rmb running in the heavy rain and sitting down and having our debrief afterwards and hearing how privileged we are and yes I think we really are, to have the chance t experience all this and t make wonderful, simply wonderful friends. Wow it's the last trng alr time passes so fast everytime I think of how the year has flown by I feel so nostalgic. Looking forward t the coming year+XP!

Today was HollandV+ArmyMarket+Queensway w Eugene+ZhiYong+Eliza+Eleanor+Clara!

+Settled food stuff at night I really do hope everything goes well :)

Wow XP is on Sunday which is tomorrow and I'm really beyond excited for it

Although I know it will be helluva tough but I know with my batchmates around, we'll all make it through together :) We will all make it through the five mountains stronger than before, that I'm absolutely sure of!

And on a side note, I really really miss my classmates although the last time I saw them was about a week ago. It feels so weird cos I used t see them everyday. Ohman miss them so much, but nvm Batam OCIP is coming up! :)

So XP fr tmr t Sat, one sleeping day+washing tents, then Batam fr Monday t Thur with the class!

Excited beyond words.

And by the grace of God I promoted I'm so happy I couldn't believe it hahaha apparently my face changed and lighted up and omg I'm just so relieved, Praise the Lord really I will never forget this lesson I've learnt.

Everyone was scolding me for my breakdown the other day and making them all so scared for me ah sry guys but I couldn't help it but seeing all the smiles on your faces really made my day :)

Ohya and my teacher overheard me bitching abt him, feel quite bad but note t self: must not talk so loudly next time.

2012 w Serene+Joshua+Jane+Clara!

Sry Serene for bringing my CJ (+AC) friends! :/ Meet up soon alright it was good seeing you today and have fun on your study date today -nudge

Taka for family dinner and all the drama unfolds

It's funny how nothing I ever do is good enough, but hey at least you have another daughter right I feel lucky you have her.

No matter what you say I know I'm lucky t have friends I can immediately call/text when I'm crying or when I'm screaming and I know they will listen. I know I'm lucky t have that.

Today we're finally practicing the dreaded ropes

I don't even need t climb up th two stories also know that I'll get stuck up there :(

And ODAC moviemarathon/rockband/sleepover/baking at my place at night!

2009-11-11T10:52:00.002+08:00

And finally watching This Is It, I really hope it won't disappoint! Michael Jackson is epic.

2009-11-10T00:03:00.011+08:00

I've had a little time t think t myself lately.

And I found myself thinking about how the decisions I've made have resulted in how things are like now

And if I had decided otherwise, how would things be like?

I guess I will never know but I do wonder.

I need closure, I need t see you without it triggering a whole chain of events, without me turning into a half zombie. I need closure. I really do. I hope I get it soon!

This is dragging on far too long for my liking. Two plus years is too long. Way too long.

Anyhow. The past few days have been awesome :)

Friday OP was the best so far for our group I feel yay I'm just so happy that we got NO MORE PW EVER EVER FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES WOOHOO goodbye PW forever!

After school accompanied Marcus t cut his hair and he's got bangs now omg I laughed until I lost my voice + lunch at MadJack's w Marcus/Jane/Saeful!

Then Jane/Clara came over and stayed over! :)

Walking on the streets at 1am esp after it just rained is simply lovely.

Saturday was Fundraising at SA! Thank God for sunny weather and dirty cars (:

It was really fun, + dinner at town afters!

Sunday was Fundraising yet again, this time I did publicity, sprinting after all the cars is helluva tiring! But all in all yeah it was really fun, and $1, 072 in two days yeah oh yeah!!

Lunch afters + We all climbed the Spiderweb hahaha I felt like I was reliving my childhood days + Basketball and dinner at Redhill!

Didn't play basketball due t my cough so just sat around making new friends and playing cards

Haha damn I really suck at Speed but hey at least I can play cheat :D

Oh yeah, and I've got bronchitis again wth?

But nvm it sounds like its going away soon so that's a relief!

Monday Ctas+Jocelyn came over for movie marathon :D

I love the way I can feel so comfortable w them, just like the old times,

I love the way how nothing has changed though we've all gone t separate schools!

Happy Birthday Pearlyn! :)

Haven't seen you in ages shall we meet up soon, happy happy seventeenth dear Apple ♥

And Happy Birthday Saeful! :)

Too lazy t find a picture heh.

Oh yes. And I've found out that I will be spending most of my birthday at my school's open house. At the mercy of my schoolmates and ccamates.

And fancy I was rejoicing having a birthday before school starts so that I'll be safe.

Good luck t me! :/

GOOD LUCK T EVERYONE FOR OP :D

Remember, confidence is key (:

Today and yesterday, we had PW for eight hours straight in school. EACH DAY.
And because of that, I had t give biathlon a miss. Was pretty bummed, think it would have been pretty interesting.
Omg I'm so exhausted srsly. I can't even think straight.

Yesterday Jocelyn came over :) And today Shaz Jane Clara Timothy came over too
But I had no energy t entertain them at all :(

And also, I was messaging my classmate saying that its our friend's birthday tmr should we get him a cake! And then I accidentally sent that message t my friend.
..........Can't stand myself sometimes :(

Pw OP tmr good luck groupies we've put in so much time and effort I'm sure it'll all pay off :)
And then we're free of PW FOR GOOD WOOHOO OMG I feel so happy just thinking abt it!

And today we went down t sch t support our friends who were getting back their results
And just thinking abt how next year is not gonna be the same without all of them (provided I even make it t next year) and how devastated they must feel but instead they choose t mask it all with a smile and sometimes I just want t tell them don't do this pls I hate seeing you pretend everything's ok and everyone thinks youre happy but I know you're not I can see the sadness in your eyes so stop lying stop pretending, it's ok t let your emotions show through but I can't tell them that cos I do it too and it would be so hypocritical and I know they can't help it just like I can't but it really breaks my heart t see them like this and I know I can't do anything but give them a hug and sit next t them when that facade finally crumbles and they break down and the tears start flowing and their voice cracks and I see in them the mirror of myself a week ago and I tell myself the only reason I got through last week is because of my friends and for them I will be strong and I will not cry but instead I will be their pillar of support and their shoulder t cry on. But it was so hard not t break down again just now but I must and will not. Sometimes I really hate life for being so unfair some people don't deserve what they're getting they really don't. I wish you and you would cheer up soon and realise that nothing is going t change. You all are still gonna be our good friends and we'll always be here for you anywhere anytime. Pretending t be happy doesn't make it better, it makes it worse, I realised this last week, and I'm hoping you all will too. Everyone has another side t them. Don't be afraid t show it and let us be there for you all. Cos that's all we really want t do. Cheer up friends life goes on and rmb you'll always have me I promise :)

2009-11-03T20:40:00.002+08:00

I've come t the decision that today marks the end of all that unhappiness

I'm gonna be happy fr now on (or at least try t)

I feel I owe all my friends at least that :)

From this day onwards it's gonna be no more tears and smiles all around

No matter what happens, life still goes on.

Monday the 3 PW grps crashed my hse again after their ChineseAs

And omg the meeting was total fail we just played rockband all the way!

HG+Eleanor stayed over too!

Tuesday we had run at CCAB so we just strolled over

And when we were going back t sch I was so tempted t just walk home!!

And today I also had an asthma attack, my teacher forced me t come home :/

Clara+Rachel+Eugene+Marcus+Saeful+Weisheng+TanJuen+HG came t visit

Thanks guys and girls :)

Rockband + The Prestige omg this must be the 35453434t6 time I'm watching it but I still find it nice all the same.

She was lost in so many different ways

Out in the darkness with no guide

I know the cost of a losing hand

Never for the grace of God

Oh, I

You are my Heaven on Earth

You are my last, my first

I always hear this voice inside

Ave Maria

I've been alone

When I'm surrounded by friends

How could the silence be so loud

But I still go home knowing that I've got you

There's only us when the lights go down

You are my heaven on Earth

You are my hunger, my thirst

I always hear this voice inside

Singing Ave Maria

Sometimes love can come and pass you by

While you're busy making plans

Suddenly hit you and then you realize

It's out of your hands, baby you got t understand

You are my heaven on Earth

You are my last, my first

And then I hear this voice inside

Ave Maria

Today I went over t HG's place then met Janyce+Eliza+XY for swimming

Omg swimming laps is so boring I swear

I was ultimate bored...How do swimmers do it??

Then met cousins and all for dinner on the 33rd storey of some building, the view was fantabulous!

Biathlon next Wednesday, 10laps of swimming + 10 rounds of the track

Good luck t us.

GOOD LUCK FOR CHINESE A'S EVERYONE :D

Yao hao hao zuo ok!

2009-10-31T23:43:00.002+08:00

Today was a relatively better day :)

Spent the day w Clara/Jane + Some talk time w HG + Halloween at Fish&Co

Oh and I also ran into TwinSarah and Charmaine after nearly a year, it was good seeing them :)

+My brother's kindergarten graduation he's growing up right before my very two eyes

Tmr looks promising as well.

Gotta keep myself occupied all the time or I wouldn't know what t do once left with a free moment t myself and my mind starts t wander.

2009-10-30T21:12:00.004+08:00

It's true, you never really realise what matters a whole lot t you until you're about t lose it.

Tomorrow shall finally be a cry-free day, I'm so sick of breaking down, but thank you all for being there.

Yesterday was our graduation ceremony

I wanted t pon but hey I told my friend I'd go so I did

Bad move.

But after that went out w the class for lunch then a few of us watched Julie&Julia

6/10 of us fell asleep during the movie well done us.

And they cheered me up hell lot I'm so grateful

We linked arms and stretched out along the pavement of Orchard Road

Laughing as the people shot us dirty glares for completely blocking their way

As we linked arms we skipped merrily fr Taka t Ion

And I laughed so much it felt so nice

I love my class so much I really mean it

And today didn't have school

But went down t have morning run+trng

And damn when I woke up I told myself today I wouldn't breakdown

Funny how things turn out

After trng was HG's place for dinner w Eleanor and omg you two cheered me up soooo much I love you two muchos thanks billions :)

2009-10-28T22:46:00.000+08:00

Today I found out that smiling can be the most tiring thing ever.
But I will keep smiling. Smiling for my friends.
