Stranger tides

I haven’t done a proper post (on the computer) in a long while and I realised my Spain trip entries were never completed.

The first thing my cuzzins go for nowadays is my iphone..

Well anyway had training today. Trained so hard..but I think I never really trained as well as I did back in SN. Things seemed kinda better then, and coach had definitely more things to tell me. But its okay, hopefully this year’ll be better, even though I hardly think a match is possible for me. I used to think persevering was really everything, but then again, retardedly clinging on to something that may not suit you is just, idk, somehow a waste of time. Skill-wise I won’t carry much hope anymore but aside that, somebody here needs to start to make friends and act like how a vcapt should. PT today told me how unfit I am }:

Yesterday’s team dinner showed some improvement. Although I felt like I was desperately trying to get something going, things just solved themselves naturally. I wonder how such trivial things get me thinking so much. But I found out that a guy’s humour defeats all girls (honestly the amount of cock they talk..), hands down. Nobody ever laughs at girls’ jokes unless they happen to be the joke themselves or it’s something caused by embarrassment. Most of the time it’s awkwardly silent or somebody kena guailan. I felt like this. But anyway I wouldn’t say I didn’t have fun. We saw the NY team at the top of the 8 as well! Sinhong and Weiqi joined Keeyuen and Yuzhen there. And this is cue for me to say, time flies, srsly.

Got to settle so much BB stuff, ever since orientation started. I hope the badges will be nice, I’ll buy them myself And the blog is blingbling new now, haha *proud.

Need to start getting down to work again. CT’s are about 30 odd days away, die. I will feast tonight and work tomorrow. Rarrr.

I stupidly fell into yet another trap.

Hi

This is like one of the rare times I blog nowadays. With iPhone everything is at your fingertips I hardly even need to touch the heat-emitting laptop anymore. And wow here comes the iPad! The world is becoming to advanced for it’s own good..(you’d like to know that I’m posting at the comfort of my cushy chair on my iPhone as well)

The past two weeks have been, well, an introduction to hell ): we’ve barely stepped in and we’re feeling the heat already. Crossing my fingers hoping I’ll be able it make it through. But of course it’ll only happen without the distractions. Plus we’re talking about more intense training schedules, the dreaded NAPFA, uni course talks, tuitions and more, we can hardly take a breather ): honestly I can’t imagine myself taking the A’s, much less completing it..O’s actually feels like a zillion years ago already.

I ran four rounds around crescent today & my maid who was sweeping the front porch kept laughing at me ): gosh I’m so unfit nowadays. But the route wasn’t being fair!! There were plenty of inclines, so much so that I could barely feel my legs moving while scaling them. Okay scaling is an overstatement but that’s exactly how I felt.

Orientation! Has! Begun! And is ending soon..j1’s are going to invade the canteen and hog my yong tau foo stall and infiltrate the homerooms ): hardly any privacy around man. I think we may have period slots swapped to accomodate them as well? Ah whatever.

I need to peel my eyes away from this miserable screen. The puny text is making my eyes sore.

Goodnight.

I’m feeling like shit right now. I don’t think it’s because of chem test.. (alone) but more of an accumulation of things }: the thing which kept me awake last night. I probably woke up grouchy and hence, the bad day. Long day does not help }:

I don’t know why that thing is bugging me so much, I only know it’s making me all tensed and depressed. Perhaps it’s because I don’t want a repeat of history, of things I don’t wish to remember. I kinda wished I never had this part of my memory in my life. There are good things about it but…I’d rather not.

Hopefully I’ll get over soon, like today.

Raffles is

Looking like the ultimate construction site, bustling with gigantous cranes and mowers with dirt spewing about.

It sucks to be ducking and dodging all these sites of the destructed and travelling a hundred miles away to answer nature’s call.

Openhouse today was quite fun (plus three binomial questions). Since nobody seemed to be the least bit interest in our cca, our booth tables became pingpong tables. Even before noon everyone became so restless and started playing their own sport using makeshift material, like us, the badeggs.

Don’t think openhouse is of that much help anyways..

New Year’s Resolutions!

New new year resolutions {: Time to sit down and start penning some aye. Funny how every year you tell yourself (almost) the same thing and never really get down to it for the rest of the 300 odd days. It’s okay, we’ll try anyway…Or maybe it’s just me :O

#01. Stop being the biggest procrastinator of all history.

#02. Listen to parents, despite everything. (Okay but not stupidly)

#03. Control Expenditure (!!)

#04. Watch no dramas unless its the weekends!

#05. To study hard and get at least 2 A’s for CT’s.

#06. Faithfully read the newspapers and Time mag.

#07. ***Make After-A’s a fulfilling joy  (by feeling confident during exams)

#08. Practise the piano. Touch the scales book, don’t let it gather dust.

#09. Exercise. Return to tiptop condition before NAPFA }:

#10. Feel grateful. Live life

I’m going to try, like now. You, too, list your resolutions and try to follow them okay! Tschuess!

The title says it all {: We went to watch it the other day at AMK hub. It was pretty long but worth the time. The effects were good but I didn’t exactly like the context of the setting & plot; one of your usual sci-fi ‘the-earth-is-dead’ kinda thing. The action and characters made up for it though.

And I finally got my iPhone!! Yay this techy gadget and unlimited Smses to go are the things to welcome {: but the awesome apps have been draining the battery juice (and time).

These few days have been pretty fulfilling. Went to Keppel on Saturday. My parents and Sis went for a swim while I stayed in the reading room to complete some assignments. I managed to solve 2 previously unsolvable differentiation questions and finished up my GP summary. Boy did I have a hard time trying to cut words. How reminiscent of PW, haha. Then we went for dinner at vivo, passing time while waiting for our queue number at singtel to be called.

Yesterday was interesting. We drove up to Jusco at Tebrau city, Malaysia to shop bought a hell lot of things..guess it’s time I stop shopping already. I’m super happy with my buys. Oh did I mention, we tried the Lotte carbonated milk drink, like milk soda y’know? Sounds perfectly disgusting but it was quite refreshing hahaha.

Okay I’d better get down to work. There’s five chapters of chem to be tested and a stats r-test to go because I failed my stats segment }: in five days..Omo.

Ahh, and the unexpected turn of the table. Watched the match between Utd and Leeds the other day. So many gripping, lip-biting moments, aka ball-hit-pole kind of moments. The best ones fall too. 12th FA cup not this year then the next is fine too

2009, Closure

This year had been one heck of a crazy year. Unimaginable. Unthinkable. Unbelievable.

So many things happened within a span of what seemed like a whizz of time. Too fast.

Early 09, I was putting RJ into the ’so-not-going-to-happen’ category. Clearly, it went the other way round. I still remember how somebody in front of me in the queue refused to move forward to get her result slip (WAS IT YOU, CLAIRE?) I know I know, it was just plain scary. The moment I had the slip in my hands, my fate was sealed, ouch. I couldn’t even absorb anything, I was too anxious thinking about pessimistic consequences to even scan for the grades. Until my mum started counting. So I did well. That was a relief. Then came the dilemma, after which I made a super last-minute decision I never regretted

I came in feeling so scared. Like a kindergartener on her first day in the body of a sixteen year old. I was so afraid everybody would be self-absorbed and individualistic (oops) I mean there are people like that but after a while you find that these people aren’t exactly the ones who determine how life goes. You are. It is how you fathom it to be whether happy or sad, awesome or no-big-deal…

Friends really played a huge part in my life (like with anybody else’s life). The first friends from Orientation (BB12!), 3K classmates, G5.10, RJTT, and never forgetting old friends from SN who bring the good times back, all over again.

I think I would have started off on the wrong foot if not for my favourite (one and only) Ohnowe’verunoutofOGnames!! Ashish, Bernard, Charlotte, Christabel, Daniel, Ellyn, Hongbo, Hongfei, Hongxuan, Huiyao, Jaclyn, Joel, Kristabella, Melanie, Moses, Rachel, Roy, Shide, Yuting.

OGL’s: Dylan, Sambor, Vanessa

OGmeals were so fun, mass dances, Take5, outings and all {:

March was Abu Dhabi. AWESOMEST. Saw so many new things, made so many new friends, life eventually became kinda inspiring. We returned with so many new experiences to our lives, try to live it better. Aera my lovely roommate, Hx, Jon Ng, Jiajin, Yangyang, Jinyu, Weiling, Sunying, Chenxu, Longnu, Halim, Shukiat, Eunice, Sarah, Karishma, Muneera, Sameerah, Xinjia, Su Lyn, Han Lyn, Pearl.

Nationals came, we fought hard, brought back the double gold, basking in glory. Next year’ll be tough but we can do it Jialei, Tiantian, Fai, ZQ, Ben, Marcus, Winston!

JCTS was terrible, never study }:

PW. The weirdest subject ever. You know you hate it but somehow you end with awesome memories and fun times {: That’s the bestest bit. Late nights (or early mornings) chionging report, going out on super fun and quirky data collections, crashing people’s houses… For that I’d like to thank Chloe, Cheryl, Lydia and Jon, who made PW tolerable

Chionging for A’s German was challenging but really fulfilling with all the wonderful classmates together. Classes were SPASS. Danke: Erica, Wadee, Eehui, Elizabeth, Kevin, Edward, Sei, Frau Schraudolph.

Returned to SN on a number of occasions, teacher’s day and moving-out ceremony. I’ll miss all the teachers and my favourite school compound }: Every time I return it feels like Homecoming, literally. 10 years culminated in a nice closure {: Claire, Trina, Renee, MX, Tan, my besties that stayed with me throughout the toughest yet best part of secondary school!

Of course not to forget 3K and the aunties! Ethel, Aera, Emily, Huijun, Xinru, Eliezer, Esther! Without you all, lectures will be the ultimate bore and life would suck, srsly. I really love all the times we had together, laughing, walking from one end of the canteen to the other without knowing what to eat, camwhoring, and all sorts of silly things we do.

I love all you people. Rock on. Have a peaceful time reflecting on 09 and move on to a great new year!!!

Things will be better, if we believe so {:

3rd day of Christmas

Bloody Monday Season 2 is coming out!!! That cliffhanger has to be resolved already, seriously.

The past two days were eventful, but hardly productive. I’m so dead, I barely started on my work. Yesterday was SNTT BBQ at my place! Fewer people turned up though, as compared to last year. It was so quiet, but a heartwarming time for the few of us to catch up! Love having them over  Pity MC couldn’t make it. Get well soon alright!

Played guitar hero as usual, the new favourite toy everybody wants to play the moment they come to my place, haha. The rest slowly left while Jingwen and Yeeyin continued with the Wii. They stayed over for the night. We really overdid it haha. Stopped at 2am for a break and some cup noodles before continuing until about 3.45 and then we went to sleep. I woke up (surprisingly!) at 11 this morning, so did Jingwen. Had to whack Yeeyin awake. (They added to the used toothbrush collection, gross, ik)

Had breakfast. Or lunch, rather. Jingwen went home and Yeeyin and I left for Bugis after awhile.

Met ZQ and Ben at Jiahao’s place. Played a few bouts of Daidi with Jiahao’s brother and ZQ while Ben and Jiahao plaued dota -.- then went to Carrefour @ PS buy things for the party. Throughout the few hours I was like the only girl tagging around, how lonesome. Not like I’m a very sociable person either.

ZQ can cook! Seriously. He knew to put oil and salt in the water when cooking pasta to get your al dente texture and he was going to cook scrambled eggs but that eventually it did not happen. I didn’t eat much, was sms-ing Tan throughout the whole time. Yeah ikr.

Then a gang of them went into the room to watch You’re beautiful so I decided to join them, for the eyecandy {: Nobody spoke of Shinwoo though, they all like Jeremy. &Sarah showed me her jap magazine keke. Haruma Miura! Can’t wait for BM2 to be out ~

Okay that’s done for the day. I’m gonna have to start work soon. Yeah sure, believe it.

Bored to my wits

I have been doing absolutely nothing today I’m so pissed.

By the way,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Maybe its because its special today thats why I feel the urge to do something but then again, we’ve had a dinner on christmas eve already and eve’s eve, our presents are opened already. There is really nothing to do now but rot away. Tomorrow’s SNTT BBQ I hope people will turn up >< cuz so many didn’t rsvp me arghh.

I must find something to do. I don’t want to touch homework today.
