Re-live

The last time I blogged during a lecture was 2 years back. Still Remb I was typing on my E65 constantly with the super slow iCell network. Yet with iPhone, I've never blogged in school during a lecture before...

So currently, I'm having chemistry lecture. Periodicity. Not that I'm not paying attention but I'm multi-tasking. Pau, I can multi-task okay! Lol. Funny how I did the same thing two years ago in LT4 and totally shut off what the chemistry lecturer was talking abt on a lousy phone and network and am doing the same thing now, on better technologies and still can understand what ms tan is lecturing about. High charge density=acidic! Haha.

Anw, this is just a random post to re-live some memories in JCs.

FRIENDSHIP BONDING

I realized my previous post was for A and so is this. Honored not? I'm blogging despite my super hectic schedule for the sake of you man. LOL.

Anw, I wanted to say that the smallest things can make the biggest impact and you've been really... Awesome (=.=) and it's really nice to have you as a MINOR part of my life. Bleah!

I mean, I cannot reiterate and emphasize how much have happened in the last 2 months, from that random night till now. And I think we are getting cooler each day! HAHA.

Okay back to my point, the point is: it's really comforting to know someone who in a worse off situation as you, having the need to attend 4 hours and sometimes 6 hours of lecture in the evening. MUAHAHA. Okay, I kinda mean like, it's great to have someone to 同甘共苦 with. Like how this week was really 'awesome'.

My week has been pretty much... The lack of sleep to sum it all up but when I'm falling asleep, there'll be someone to wake me up during lectures, when I'm like super unmotivated, got someone to motivate me (and of course vice versa), when im
Bored, got ppl to entertain me with stories like a v random phonecall that she receive, and it's VERY AWESOME.

Recollecting of that one random day in the foyer, I kinda Remb how someone told me that we meet ppl everyday, but we get to know a person better and become close friends/relationships only when the time is right. I bet you agree right! Haha.

Anw, it's really great la. I honestly admit I have no life, staying at home on weekends and in sch on weekdays to study, going for tuitions and stuff but I think i actually do have a mini-life now. Whatsapp makes up my life! HAHA.

No matter how silent I may be in class or in the library etc, you know I'll always be 'talking' crap on whatsapp. LOL. You know what, most of the time, the bar on the top right hand corner of my phone only starts falling at an increasing rate when you're awake. Though there are exceptions la. Cos no one as free as you.HAHA.

Okay, so I've officially crapped a post up
In this 寂寞的夜里 (idk why but I keep thinking abt this song lyrics) specially for you! I kinda think the contents of this post is similar To the previous one just that this has a more positive tone. So you can tell how cool you are right! =.= but yes, thanks for being an AWESOME (I néed the thesaurus seriously) FRIEND!!!!

Ionic, covalent and metallic bonding I'm okay with them, don't particularly like any of them. my favorite is.... FRIENDSHIP BONDING. Factors affecting the strength of it are:

1)time
2)effort
3)care and concern
4)phonebills
5)applications of a phone
6)ability to crap
7)stamina to endure late nights

We shall 加油 tog for the finals. I'm so looking forward to more of the 4 hour lectures while I'm at nsp thing and all the crap that has yet to be said! HAHA. I'm gonna sleep now!

Reflections

This post is a reflective one.

Okay so I was pretty emo during a few days out of the last few weeks.. And after coming back home on national day, i kinda burst and blurbed nonsense to A. Right now, I still feel so guilty man. But luckily she's nice la.

Many stories of S was told to me and like, I never knew he did so much for me... From getting the necklace to the soft toy. And not forgetting spending a large sum of money for the cushion... I'm really glad like all these happened and even if it didn't turn out well, I m glad to have been through all these....

Next, I'm getting more and more 感触 with the daily whatsapp with A. I didn't mean to emphasize this so many times but I think that night of whatsapp, it really created a beautiful beginning. Its been like 2 mths since then and we have been whatsapping like almost everyday. LOL. It's really great when there's someone you can disturb and she'll entertain you when you're bored, talk to when you're annoyed by some ppl at sch, teaching you chemistry at 1am, chatting on the phone with while sitting at the roadside waiting for transport home, waiting for you to finish your work before sleeping and So on.... Not forgetting someone for you to spam her twitter... Hehe.

I mean, we meet so many people in our entire life, but how many can you spend good times like this with? It has been an awesome 2 mths and no doubt the down times had silent us at many times, but the best thing is, the friendship never falters after everything. I can say yeah, sometimes to me, she's not just a friend because of the large difference in identity we have right from the start, the day i know her till now; our identity in this friendship may have been fixed since day one but at many times, the interactions tell it all. i do question if making friends with her actually create topics for people to judge me on but i guess it doesn't really matter afterall.

I am always glad when I know there is someone who is there at 12am that I can talk to or even ask qns; although it doesn't always applies but most of the time it does..

The last two months have made me a much more matured person I feel where I've learnt to give my advices and opinions to others and not just the usual, listening to what others have to say as a friend. This experience I'm thankful for and I know there'll be more much to come for the next few months.

All i can say is, thankyou; to myself, to A,to God. (:

A: your darkest period is nearly over! No more heartaches, smiling at her msges( but mine instead! Hahaha) and most of all, be happy! Sorry for the emo times and thanks for trusting me so much by telling me all the things that are really, the deepest secrets. Idk how to describe this feeling but it's really great to be whatsapping about almost anything and everything. Kudos to more good times! (:

Glimpse of the past few weeks

Okay.. So the last few days/weeks I was pretty busy with sch and life... Some recaps:

1) Viva La Music 2011
It went pretty well I must say. Really enjoyed the night. A came down to support! Got Xinling to accompany her and they actually click w each other! LOL. I shall blog about VLM in details, SOON....

2) tennis sessions with sam
Went to sam's house twice on sat to play tennis. I must say it's a really good workout(s) cos my face is literally red like lobster after that! And her dad will bring us out for some good food after that! Hehe

3) random visit back to KC.
So last friday I went back to KC, for fun. Watched the NDP Observance parade rehearsal and I must say that it's actually good! Went to udders with G and A after that before they walked me home...

4) national day celebrations
Okay so out of the group of us, only wip and I went to sch. We kinda slacked out way by sitting down to read some health mag, then played some games of which i won $15 voucher before we sat down do math and she played my iPhone. Finale was nothing much I must say.

Went back to KC to meet A for lunch and met ms Gan too! So chatted awhile with her and she knows mr kwek and Mdm Ang! Okay so after lunch at my all-time fav fish soup opp, went back to sch where I talked to mrs Ho for awhile and waited for A at the foyer. Subsequently saw Y and left sch!

5) national day
Started the day by gg plaza sing to have breakfast w my family. Met qimian at marina sq and we sat at jack's place for 2 hrs +
wanted to walk over to mbs to visit G but was kinda forced to take the train.. =.= so I took 2 hrs to get there... Crowded man. I met jas and cos I had to wait for G to end work, I walked ard w jas n her friends... Then met G at 6+ where we chatted while waiting for her Sis to arrive. After that was dinner at coffee bean before G called a cab and dropped me at aljunied.

Okay that's more of less about it.. (:

珍惜

最近,总是想太多。
回头看了看以前
放眼望了望未来
却被卡在现在。

心里有好多感想。。。。
想着想着,突然想起和S的那一段回忆
My girlfriend is an agent
那一次,真的感动
在哪冷漠的戏院里,他的那一件外套,温暖我的心。
但好事不一定都有好的结局,
我庆幸有过那一段美好的回忆,
遗憾并没有长久。

人,不就是总会为了往事以遗憾,却又不珍惜眼见的事务吗?

往事回忆如水般留过脑海里,未来浮现在眼前。珍惜,珍惜。。。。

Results VS Excitement

Hello!
Im back blogging tonight..

Okay so bascially we got back our script the last few days and i must say, Im most satisfied with my econs Paper 1 currently.. Case study did not bad. One of them was marked by mdm chua somemore! haha i instantly thought to myself, 'cfm mdm chua mark one" when i first got back the script. After all the numerous timed practices with her last year, im so familiar with her handwriting alr! hehe. anw, im most happy with this econs! just hope that my essay will be not bad too...

Then lit is next! I think this time round, not bad considering the fact that my average still hovers around a D after getting back 4/6 essays. hehe. Quite surprised that my earnest was not bad...

Chem would probably be the next one. But i must say im not v happy with it cos i could have done much better if i didn't insist on doing a qn that i can barely handle. but oh well, at least i passed and managed to be in band 2 for the remaining of the term. hehe. quite happy that im changing tutor man. Cannot stand the current tutor...

Okay, now to the dissappointments. I think this time round, im most disappointed with GP! I thought my compre and essay both i did not bad. I was pretty confident of scoring and getting at least a C/D this time but somehow, it didn't turn out the way i thought it will be. But, it's okay. Just gotta keep trying yo! Im gonna do well for prelims!

Oh and Mr D keep catching me for using my phone the last few days. Gotta try to not use it in class anymore! HAHA like what pau say, i can't multi-task; when i msg, i will miss out on whatever the person is talking about. haha. so it's either i try to multi-task, or don't use at all. Of which, the 2nd option would be a better choice. Though i really need some entertainment during the boring lessons... haha. don't worry, i'll still try and reply.

Lastly, math... aiyo this one ah, don't know what to say. Worst paper i'd ever taken in NYJC man! Can't do like half the paper! sian man. But, i'll still try harder! Must go consult Miss Liang more alr...

Okay, yesterday i met Ms Chen In the Canteen and the first thing she said to me was: "你很努力地在帮我省钱hor?" aiyo.... cannot la! i want my treat man. I need to do well for prelims then go ask for a feast from her lor... Must definitely get it the next time, if not, must wait till A levels results alr. hmpf. I WILL GET MY TREAT!

So basically that's results for you.. Currently, I am talking to A on twitter about HONGKONG.. hahaha. dimsum, shopping, instant noodles, toast, meet prince charming. Freaking hilarious only.... lol.

Did i say NYCO going HKG again end of this year? Yesssss I am going, most probably.. Yay! Daji girls is <3! must have H2H talk with VIVIAN and my 亲爱的 JANICE! haha. quite excited since im gonna extend my trip too.. Either family and/or Sam is coming over! hehehe. Sam says i HAVE to bring her to disneyland cos she never go before.. LOL. sure sure no problem! Love Hongkong as ever since young. I think the best thing about this trip is that we are gonna have 4 CO related events as compared to 2 in 2009: Exchange with Macau Conservatory of Music and HK Kao Lui Sec Sch, Performance at Disneyland ( love this the most!) and watching HKCO's rehearsal. Seriously, The reknowned HKCO leh! So exciting right! Okay so basically i can't wait for A lvls to end for me to have some fun!

I was just telling wilson that after A lvls, i'll be really busy and on a tight schedule in dec.. haha. It goes something like this:
29 Nov: Last paper.
30 Nov: Move house
5th Dec: Prom
6th Dec: Fly to Hkg Till probably 16-18th?
20th Dec: Sis's Bday
23rd Dec: Grandma's bday
25th: Christmas!

then after coming back from holiday, need to unpack everything also! I hope I'll be able to invite my dear babes over for some stayover at my new place and we can have a blast man. Probably for christmas? hehehe. so yep, kinda excited for post-A lvls.

Okay so this is for A, as usual. HAHA i think this week was pretty awesome from the start, bringing fish porridge, barley and the letter to your place, then the angst e-letter, then back to all the random convos ranging from tv shows to Harry Potter to HONGKONG. haha. Plus the almost-getting-my-phone-confiscated msges and the annoying whatsapp. LOL.This week's been good! I like! haha. looking forward to more crazy and bimbo moments in time to come! hehe.

Alright, off I go. Viva La Music Practice tmr! (:

Meetup with Nayan

Just came back home from dinner with Mr and Mrs Wang and Nayan, my Buddy from India. Met and got to know her through the exchange programme with India by KC when i was in sec3. See, KC gives me a wide range of opportunities. HAHA. Anw, We went to this place at Eunos called the Vegan Burg. Nayan and I tried their Char-grilled Satay burger, Mrs Wang took the Hawaiian Pineapple and Mr Wang tried the Smoky BBQ of which he says, is not smoky at all. LOL.

Okay so their service was abit bad at the start cos they keep serving the wrong order, like twice. So Mrs Wang got abit pissed by it which she says, it's a pregnant lady thing. haha. Finally we got our food after quite some time and i must say it was not bad.. Pictures to be updated soon...
After dinner, we decided to bring Nayan for some durian. It's her first time trying it out and she didn't quite like it. It's the second time I'm eating durian this week! But anyway, for a non-local, I must say that she was really brave to try the King of Fruits out. haha. Surprisingly, she could take the smell and the taste of it, just that it wasn't to her liking.
So after that, Mr Wang sent her home, all the way at Tanjong Pagar before dropping me home. hehe. I'm currently having a headache and alittle sore throat but i think the meetup tonight makes it really worth it. (:

High Stress Levels

okay, the previous post was totally irrelevant but since the person mentioned is fine with it, i decided it would be alright to leave it there. I think i must be really stress up by the many things ongoing by my life currently that i actually wrote such a post yesterday night. So Sorry to A!

I cannot say how stress I am right now; results, study and expectations. My headaches are getting more frequent this year, getting it at least once a month. I am getting tired of the school although i really love everything here. What a oxymoron i know. I am getting more and more drowsy in school these days, falling asleep in lectures and some tutorials. I am getting sick of JC life that is. But, I know i'll definitely miss it when i leave.

Viva La Music 2011 Finals next friday. That, will be the last event I'll be taking part in as a student of NYJC. I have been through so many things throughout the last 2.5 years in the school. SYF 2009, SYF closing ceremony, Pre-U Seminar, YOG Sports Conference, YOG Volunteer, NYJC Immersion programme, Singapore Can Speak, SYF 2011, NYCO Debut Concert, the many Percussion performances, NYCO HKG Trip and the list will definitely go on. Next friday, it will be the last and final one. After that, it will just be study and more hardcore studying.

I must emphasize that the stress levels Im currently at now is almost at the peak, where an additional stress will probably pop the bubble so Im sorry to whoever i may have offended along the way. Can't help it as a J2 student.... LOL. But anw, whatever it's on this page, it's just my thoughts and opinions so you don't have to take it seriously if you find it useless...

So yes, Im sorry that you have to look at this ranting post of mine.

~end~

A Letter

okay just want to blog another post before i go to sleep....

Last few days, i received quite many texts/whatsapps and FB msg. which made me realized that my life no longer revolves around just around school and studying. I thought and kinda submitted to the life of going to school, lessons, exams, consultations, home, tuition, eat and sleep. But actually not and honestly, im alittle sick of meeting people and repeating myself over and over again... I have lots of things in my mind but i don't think i can actually say it out. Usual qn goes like this

Person: So, you got boyfriend anot? OR hmmm, whose that someone you meeting/always blog about ah??
ME: no la, im not attached. Or actually, yes, im attached to mr econs, mr math, mr lit, mr gp, mr chem. Don't know who to choose...
Person: =.=
ME: I'll let you know who won my love k?
Person: =.=

this was meant to be a joke when a few people started asking me earlier this year. But I've been repeating this over and over again that i don't find it funny anymore and im kinda tired of saying the same thing. FYI, im not attached so to all my friends out there, please don't ask me the same qn when we meet or ask me on whatsapp/sms. Oh yes, and right now, I've got no suitors also so don't ask me if got any guys asking me out not. The answer is NO. =.= Currently, my life is friends + school. That's all. It's not dull and i think i prefer this lifestyle to any one with love/ relationships involved as of now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so we are on the topic of relationship now. So I kinda have a dear friend whose out of love and can't really seem to get over it or to put it nicer, haven really fully recover and mended a broken heart.

First, as a outsider who has entirely no idea of what happened, I actually gave my moral support by giving words of consolation.

After I got to know the details, i attempted to give some love and warmth as a friend.

Now, I think i'll say this. You are walking in circles when you thought and want to walk straight. You find that you can't seem to get over this. And so, you have many drafts and that box in your cupboard. But, the past is the past... what's done is done, what's gone is gone. What's the point of keeping that box there? Im actually glad that you deleted all the drafts and actually felt better. Which simply shows that by keeping, it's hurting you more than it's healing you.

I have much less experience, or actually no experience at all so i don't think im in any position to say anything but if I could say something right now and it actually means something to you, i would say, take the box and make it disappear forever. Before that, i said i know and hope there'll be a day where you can throw away that box without hesitation. Now, I would say, you Should get rid of it because i know you're finding it hard to get over it and that box is actually one of the factor. You know, by keeping the box, you're like attempting to keep the things that remind you of that person and if you say you want to have a time-out of your emotions such that you don't want to think of all those things (not ever again), then what does keeping it means? (I don't know if this is really the case but Im getting this feeling.)

Well, I didn't forced you to neither did I try to the other day, but come to think of it now, i think the box will always be blocking the exit of that circle you're in. Partially why i kinda insisted that you should delete all the drafts and well, you did. To me, I try and will not force but instead, just let you know what I think. This post is pretty harsh i know and I don't know if this post will hurt you or actually offend in some ways, but all i can say is that, I care as a friend and that is why Im writing this post here. Whichever way you take this post to be, if this could actually help you, then this risk was well-taken. If not, then..... I wouldn't know what would happen.

It was hard to tell you about this, which was why when you asked me to say, i kinda decided to leave it. I don't know how difficult it is to forget a person, forget the memories and the pain the person had engraved on you but no matter what, happiness comes after many different experiences. I don't know if you're getting what I mean and I don't know if what i mentioned in this post actually make any sense at all but whatever it is, the last thing i can say is, you have to find that exit and walk out of it yourself; leaving behind everything and everyone single pain, heartbreak, regret and sadness can only be done by yourself. You have to search and break through every barrier, even if it is in the dark and only when you finally walk out of this circle, back onto the main path, can you ever be truly happy again.

Facing reality AND understanding reality is the way to be happy. It is this, that enables you to understand yourself better and makes you a stronger person.

With much love, i end off here. I don't know what your reaction will be after this but if it did hurt you in any way, I'm really sorry, I just wanted you to get through this.....

Masking

You can stop pretending today, tomorrow, the day after and anytime on. Cos true friends will understand whatever it is. (-;

Some things i can't exactly say it out here and i don't think i would want to say anything about it but i kinda just had this thought that you know, sometimes, we shouldn't be in pretense in front of our true friends because i firmly believe that if they are really your friend, they will understand whatever that happens. Some things may not be acceptable by society, by family, by friends; simply put it: not everyone can accept everything that one do. BUT, be it family or friends, i believe there will always be a day where they will come to accept it, accept us for who we are if they really understand you.

I mean, come on, we are born imperfect, nobody can firmly stand in front of the world and say, I AM PERFECT. So no matter what flaws and imperfections one has, unless you can tell the world that you're perfect, there is no reason why we shouldn't accept people for who they are and the things they do.

Life's full of surprises, we meet people from different walks of life, people of different personalities and characters and life's short, so if we give up friendship for the simple reason that 'we cannot accept who they are', then how many people would you have missed in your entire lifetime? How many beautiful memories, bonds and experiences would you miss?

It's okay if you're unhappy and you let your friends know it, just like how you share your joys and happiness with your friends. It's okay, it's okay... No matter what happens, I stand by my view that True friends are those who will be with you through your hard times, enjoy your happiness with you, understand and accept you even if others don't and I think what we can do as a friend, is to let down our guards because protection of ourselves only create barriers between friends.

Yes, this thought and argument is kinda one-sided because you'll never know when your friends will betray or hurt you BUT, if you never try, you'll never know. If you don't give a chance for your friends, you'll never know how amazing the friendships can get. I mean, in life, everything we do, we're always taking risks. No pain, no gain? No risks, no gain either. We should drop our masks of life and enjoy life as it is. No matter what happens, real friends stays.

So that ends off this post.

Note: this post is a general comment from me and no persons are targetted in it. (:

Coming Home

A song that i heard in a shop while shopping with the girls this afternoon. haha very nice! i like!

Crying and Laughing

~THE DAY I LAUGHED AND CRIED~

"Today a friend did the sweetest thing ever! I was extremely touched by what she did and really, no words can describe how grateful and happy I’m to have her as my friend :D

I was unwell, had a fever that didn’t want to go away. Around 4, I received a call from her, asking me to look outside my door step. There I saw a pack of fish porridge, a bottle of lemon barely and a letter! I was like super shocked+touched+speechless. The last time, someone I love dearly, left flowers and a note for me, but all that seems like such a long time ago.

And it’s different this time, cause it’s from a very very good friend who went the extra mile to make sure I had proper food to eat! I felt really bad cause the weather was mad hot and she walked all the way from old airport to my place under the hot sun just to bring me food with lots and lots of love and warmth!!

So I ate the porridge, every single bit of it :) Then I read the letter from her. As I read it, I laughed and cried cause some parts were so funny and some parts just touched me so much that I couldn’t help but cry. It’s so heart-warming to know that this simple gesture can fill me with so much warmth and I must definitely say this: 友谊万岁and 友情大过爱情!!!"

-adapted from A's tumblr..


Okay, so yes im pretty lazy to blog from the top what i did today. So basically, this was what happened la, with some insights from A. haha. i would say this is probably the sweetest thing i've done for a friend so far, other than planning sam's bday surprise at RWS last dec... and seriously, i must say that the weather is freaking hot today... Like seriously. My uniform literally all wet when i boarded the bus. Machiam like just shower like that! but that's not the main point la, the point is, i think it was a success. HAHA anyone wanna employ me as a surprise planner?

it was kinda of a last min plan. Cos i was at orchard and i had tuition at 6pm, so i took quite awhile to decide should i or should i not, just in case i couldn't reach home on time. but all went quite well, i even managed to reach home at 430pm such that i switch tuition time slots with my bro. hehe. I met her neighbour downstairs and i think i look like some thief or what trying to leave the things outside her house without alarming her. I literally dropped everything and ran down the stairs before giving her a call. And i think it was good also because if i didnt ran, i would have missed my bus. haha. there was this uncle at the end of the corridor looking at me and i was quite afraid that he will come towards me. LOL.

So yep, the letter was supposed to be mailed this morning but i didn't see any mailbox and decided to mail it at my house there BUT since i was there alr, so decided to drop it together with the food. haha. when i wrote it, i didn't exactly pay much attention to what i write la. But, turns out that she was laughing and crying at the same time. I was like... what?!! when she told me she teared.. It was meant to be a funny letter can... =.=

EHH Anw, next time your turn to mail me a letter to make me cry and laugh hor! haha. Don't need so touched, just know that as a friend, i'll always be here for you!

Quote of the day from me:
I cannot replace love in your heart, but i can warm your heart as a friend. (-;
