truly madly deeply

HAPPY VESAK DAY peopleeeeeee! (:

haha I'm getting increasingly lazy to update my blog nowadays! Its so boring if I just keep writing about what I'm doing everyday right /: But since I still can't think of anything else to write.. I shall just recap again! :D hahaha.

Study date with zeet on Monday! (: ehh I hardly did anything though cause I started reading this book and I wanted to finish it before I stop! Sigh, so this leads me to conclude that I can't even settle down to mug in a library! /: I'm so hopeless! My sis suggested I should quit school, become a nun, go to the temple, face the four walls for two years, and cultivate some discipline and concentration. hahaha! Not a bad suggestion! Maybe by then I'll have some magical powers and I can walk through walls or sth. Like in those old chinese fighting shows! Zhi zhu jing also spent one hundred years brewing her powers on a mountain right! LOL! okay, thats so out of point. Anw, during our break, we shared the heavenly, irresistable brownie at the Queenstown Library cafe! :D It is so delicious! (:

Chem lesson on Tuesday and then I spent most of the day with my cousins, who are, by the way, the most adorable creatures on planet Earth! Besides me lah. hahaha! I nearly died laughing when they started challenging each other to computer games with their shirt and pants as stakes! So the loser must surrender their shirt and pants! HAHAHA! My youngest cousin looks soooooo much like Rain lah! Without the abs though, according to my brother haha! :D
hee and thank you very much for the surprise gift (:

Watched Pirates of the Carribean 3 with ck yesterday! I thought it was a pretty good movie, contrary to all the reviews! Maybe that's because I didn't expect it to be very nice heh, but it was! Jack Sparrow is sooooooo funny! (: I was talking to my brother abt the show and now I'm so tempted to watch all three so I can piece everything together! (: hahaha! Maybe after As!

Okay tag replies!

yunnie: heyyyy I miss you too my ah ma! (: Hope life's treating you well!

enli: -big grin! :D We haven't met up for ages!

sj: hahahaha you are a big fat gossip queen! Remember to make me lunch when you come back horh! :D

eunice: heh have you succeeded by now? (:

SHAZ: OKAY! (: I must contact the juniors again though.

jan: heee you were my wonderful song provider last time! Anw I can send that to you if you still don't have it!

No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart -


First weekend of June hols is goneeeeeee! (: Actually I think I spent it quite well! -beams proudly! hahahah! Relative to other holidays that is! Brief recap! (:

Friday Night!
I PACKED MY ROOM! (: Did all the filing crap and I conclude we must've accumulated a hundred tree trunks' worth of papers in our two years in college /: My room looked like it got bombed! No one could go in and I could not open the door to go out! hahahahah!

MY HOMELY ROOM! (:

Saturday!
2nd MINDS meeting! I'm paired with a trainee called Siew Phang and my partner is one of the PJ canoeists called Sze Ee! (: I think she's nice! The activities were quite smooth that day and I found out there're actually swings in the playground! (: Swings seem to have gone extinct in Singapore ):

Sunday!
Brunch with family at this place in Syed Alwi Road in the morning! (: The Yong Tau Foo damn nice! haha! Then met ck in the evening to go to the book fair and food fair at Expo! (: The book fair was quite sad cause even though there were mountains of books, the way they just toss the books out without any form of catalogue or order makes it so difficult to find what we want! ): In the end I only bought this cool hardcover Da Vinci Code book complete with illustrations and a book for my Dad! The food fair was quite nice though! (: Its sooooooo huge with soooo many stalls so you can just keep walking around and buying and munching! hahaha! :D So fun! Ate alot of those small yummy things like otahs and sausages and fishcakes and oh! this mango snow ice thing with strawberry sorbet which I thought was quite heavenly! :D Left at around nine plus then we went to walk walk at Bugis. On the way back we took the wrong bus and ended up at Macritchie. hahaha! Damn funny!

Okay! I wanted to reply to tags but I'm getting sleepy! Next entry k! (: Nights all! <3

Just because there's you (:

Even if the sun refused to shine
Even if we lived in different times
Even if the ocean left the sea
There would still be you and me

Ever since the start of time
You've had my love
Even before i knew your name
I knew your heart
In the dark of the darkest night
I can see your face
I always knew from the very start
I would find a way

Even if the world would disappear
Even if the clouds would shed no tears
Even if tonight was just a dream
There would still be you and me

You've always been there and you'll always will be
The only one
Until forever you hold me girl
I'll never know
In the cold of a winter's chill
I'll be there tomorrow
Oh girl, and here you are with me for all of time
No matter what

Two hearts that belong together
From the very start
One love, now and forever
Nothing can tear us apart

Even if the sun refused to shine
Even if we lived in different times
Even if the ocean left the sea
There would still be you and me ;


Even If; 2be3

Heard this song on Nicholas's mp3! Sweet huh (:

-

Its the last day of school tmr! (: Can't believe Term Two is ending already! Today, Zhuting and I drew up our holiday study schedule together and I tell you, its really damnnnnnnnnn scary! ): We were so depressed as we sadly sorted the topics to fill up our twenty-eight little calender boxes ): If I count correctly, there's approximately 68 chapters to study all together! /: /: /: Its impossible to go through everything even once through unless... I become possessed or sth! Minus days for slumber stayover, ACID camp, lessons, slacking, shopping etc etc, I foresee another repeat of the nights before J1 Block test/Promos/J2 Block test, even though each time I swore to myself never to let history repeat. haha. Typical.

Ohkay! Time to scoot! (: Have a lovely last-day-of-school, everyone! (:

"My mother was always writing me notes. She slipped them to me whenever she dropped me off somewhere. I never understood this, since anything she has to say she could have said right then and saved herself the paper and the awful taste of the anvelope glue.

I think the first note was on my first day in kindergarden in 1954. What was I, five years old? The schoolyard was filled with kids, shrieking and running around. We approached, me holding my mother's hand, as a woman in a black beret formed lines in front of the teachers. I saw the other mothers kissing their kids and waling away. I must have started crying.

"What's the matter?" my mother asked.
"Don't go."
"I'll be here when you come out."
"No."
"Its okay. I'll be here."
"What if I can't find you?"
"You will."
"What if I lose you?"
"You can't lose your mother, Charley."

She smiled. She reached inside her jacket pocket and handed me a small blue envelope.

"Here," she said. "If you miss me really badly, you can open this."

She wiped my eyes with a tissue from her purse, then hugged me goodbye. I can still see her walking backwards, blowing me kisses, her hair swept up above her ears. I waved goodbye with the letter. It didn't occur to her, I guess, that I was just starting school and didn't know how to read. That was my mother. It was the thought that counted."

I love you every day

Spent the entire morning today reading Mitch Albom's For One More Day that ck lent me and its one of the best books ever! (: The immensity and intensity of a Mother's love for her kids. Its so heartwarming but also incredibly bittersweet. I thought Tuesdays with Morrie was super boring so I didn't really fancy Mitch Albom but after reading this, I think I should go read Tuesdays with Morrie again. Maybe I misunderstood the poor book. hahaha. Anyway, as I read the story, I was thinking that the worse kind of emotion one can feel is probably Regret. Because most of the time there's nothing much you can to to reverse history and you find yourself trapped in the helplessness of an uncontrollable situation that is in the past tense but so painfully present tense as well. Sad huh /: So if there's a burning desire for you to do sth and it doesn't involve the murder of anyone, just go ahead and do it! hahahah! :D It beats sending Letters of Regret in the future.

Yesterday was our first "lesson" in preparation for the MINDS camp and also our first meeting with the trainees! Honestly I was secretly apprehensive cause I've never volunteered with the interllectually disabled before so I was pretty unsure of how to behave and make myself useful but the lesson was just a get-to-know-and-feel-your-way-around kind of thing so it was quite alright! (: I think what struck me most was how dedicated and caring the senior volunteers are! When two of them were briefing us about our responsibilities and expectations, they gave us bits of info about all the trainees that they have committed to memory. Their medical background, their behavior and personality, even their environment at home. It goes to show the true concern they have for them, and I thought that was really admirable and sweet (: I think the camp is going to be real meaningful (:

And now looking in your eyes,
I feel in my heart,
the start of something new.
(:

two in a million

Meet Natalie! (:





One of the kids from Interact! hahahah! Don't you think she looks like SailorMoon? (:

Didn't go to school today cause I'm down with fever ): I realise I'm always sick during this time of the year! Last year I think it was around this time too that I keep getting a persistent temperature until they thought I had Dengue or sth! heh. My Mom was so pissed (you would have thought she should be sympathetic o.o) cause she insisted I fell sick not because I'm weak/stressed/due to the weather/caught it from someone but because I was a stubborn girl who didn't listen to her godly advices. My defences (see above) failed to convince /: LOL! Okah lah, SORRY Mom! -grins

Can't believe I actually missed our last game today ): Ugh! But we're so thrashing Innova! (: Half-time score at 4-0! yay!


sugar we're going down, swinging

never-ending sunshine, everlasting sun

Today is one highly unproductive day! Sigh, three tests next week and I feel not a sense of urgency. Yueqi, oh yueqi, thou art lazy! /: -shakes head. Mug session with my sister failed miserably. Instead of studying diligently as we very well should, we spent nearly two hours feasting and talking rubbish at the cafe! :D This is so typical of us hahahaha!
Look at! Potato chunks, chicken chunks and a mango-grava tea freeze :D So much for swearing off queasy food that makes me lethargic, queasy and sleepy /: So to no one's surprise, we started feeling real sleepy after that hahaha! We are the worse!!!

Anw, I hereby announce that I'm boycotting my sister as a study partner! Slack genes seem to run in the family. Greedy ones too! O.O That makes us perfect partners-in-crime, giggle :D

through the summer and the fall,
we had each other and that was all;

Its the weekends! (: I realise time is moving by like sand trickling down an hourglass, steady and swift. Two more weeks to school closure! (:

Today was a longgggg day in school! I totally conked out during Bio lab but that hour of sleep I sneaked was pure bliss hahaha. Next time I must remb to bring a nice fluffy shirt so I can lie on it and sleep more comfortably lol! After extra bio lessons ended at four, Sean and I went for our CS aka detention! Okay at least this one was better than the one where we had to scrub LT walls. We were made to sit in the hall and meditate/reflect on our past misgivings for an hour! No sleeping, no talking and no using our phones! lol! I thought it was quality personal time for me to just let my thoughts roam and wonder without direction so ironically, I thought it was a pretty good thing to do as a punishment (: haha!

Went to watch Spiderman 3 with ck after that! Heh, sorry again for having had to make you wait! Anw, the show was quite nice but not as spectacular as everyone described lah. I think Spiderman 2 was nicer though this one got more jolting bits :D For one, that guy Harry kept giving me nasty shocks when he suddenly popped up to strangle Mary-Jane, once at her house and once in the taxi! /: lol!

Okay I'm damnnn sleepy now! Shall go sleep soon! Oh lastly, a shoutout to Terry for his second set of very random postcards today! Its really nice of you to take time to write all that so thanks! (:

Have a lovely weekend ahead all! (:

carousel to the stars

hellooo (: Been really lazy to blog these days so many sorries for the lack of updates! This week has been a meet-everyone-everywhere week! On Tuesday when Yiwei and I went to fareast to feast on Chippys and Shih Lin, I bumped into Huixinnnnnnnnnnn (the teddy bear)! (: And then on Wednesday at ccab, I saw YunJia!! (: My god, what a pleasant surprise! :D And then today I went to meet Joanne at NUS! (: My three bestest friends in three days! (((:

Anw, today was soooo annoying! Since we badly missed our favourite jiang cong ji and strawberry milkshake, we decided to revisit the Arts and Social Science faculty canteen to eat and to our earthshattering dismay, the canteen is still under renovation! ): So sad lah! hahaha! So we went over to the business canteen and the food looks really sadddddd cause the nicest stall (Western) was closed already! Just when we FINALLY decided to get some dumpling things from this stall selling Taiwanese stuff, we saw this wet blackbird come sailing through the air and helping itself to this bucket of chilli sauce the stall has at the side /: /: /: Joanne and I stunned for five seconds, glanced at each other, and retreated hurriedly. HAHAHA Damn funny! So in the enddddd, after taking ten hours to get to the stupid NUS, we ate at... SUBWAY! lol! But despite all the tragedies, it was still funnnnn hanging out with that stupid girl! (: We were eating at this foodcourt with REALLY slippery floor so we started gliding around and its damn fun hahahahahaha! But then that horrible girl started "moonwalking" and doing some robotic dance there /: Goodness I nearly died laughing lol!
Really happy we met up todayyyyyy! loveeee! (:

Wednesday's match against sa was both good and bad. Good because I felt that we actually played quite well, and bad because we still lost! haha! Nevermind! jiayouu to us! (:

I have CS again tmr ): Sian with a capital S lah.

seven minutes in heaven

"Their seat on the Ferris wheel swung to the very top, then lurched to a stop. Far below, Leah saw a man fiddling with the machinery.
"It sure is a long way down." She said and he laughed.

"I like this ride best of all. It lets me see the earth as birds see it. As angels see it. Sometimes I dream that I am flying above the ground, swooping and soaring. I didn't like to wake up from that dream."

"You've never flown in an aeroplane, have you?"

He shook his head, but she saw a wistful look cross his face.

"You ought to see the clouds from the top side. They look like big fat cotton balls. Do you think angels play in the clouds?"

"Angels go anywhere they want, even on Ferris wheels in county fairs".


``Lurlene McDaniel; Lifted up by Angels

Sweet huh (: I spent the most part of my day reading Lurlene Mcdaniel books at the library! So much for studying! hahah!
I read about our blood as a buffer solution though and I thought it was really cool! Not to sound like a completely crazy nerd but I now see our blood with newfound respect (: hahahaha!

Okay I just did the stupid chem test and I got 1/3! I thought one out of four chances of getting the correct answer seemed a better idea than trying to work out the answer when I dont know one thing from another so I guessed the answers for the second and third questions and both are wrong! hahahah! No wonder I always fail my MCQs /:

Its Fridayyyyyy again! (: School was quite fine and since bio extra lesson was cancelled in the end, we ended promptly at two thirty (: Yayness! So I headed out with Yiwei to town to look for a pencilcase! She is like this DAMN fast shopper! She saw one that she liked and bought it before I could count to ten. LOL! I'm like the complete opposite from her lah I take agessssss to settle on sth to buy. So not surprisingly, I still haven't gotten anything. I just ate alot though /: so unproductive!
