2009-11-01T14:48:00.014+08:00

hey people! it's Sunday already, how time flies past so quickly! in a flash the whole week is gone and my weekends are going to be over soon!

nowadays the arrival of the weekends doesn't elicit in me much excitement, a far drop from the amount last time! haha because the weekends doesn't constitute much difference from the weekdays now anymore :D except for the waking-up-early (double eww) part of course.
sometimes i even prefer the weekdays because i'll get to go to school and see the rest of them ^^

many things to talk about! but firstly, the great news from this week:
I GOT MY BILLABONG WALLET BACK!!
with everything still inside, nothing gone at all! i didn't even remember i had that much money inside lah. SO HAPPY!! cg there're no stupid thieves this time! ;)

mummy accompanied me to the very very ulu police station in paya lebar to collect it. she spent so much time helping me to cancel my cards etc, and then now that the wallet is found, bringing me there because she knows i wouldn't know how to go.
and then when she reached there she had to stand outside while i went in to collect it because only one person is allowed at a time! -.-
made me feel so touched :)

so after the celebratory collection, we went to renew my passport, then went to bugis for dinner and walkwalk! i think the last time we went to bugis together it was also after some passport thing. HAHA.

great night spent there with her :D

had pastamania with yanchng at northpoint after school on friday! we termed that as our "first date"! hahahaha. not really lah but kind of. LOL.
had the "new" pasta with the soup base. quite yummy! but i think i'd still prefer my creamy sauces since changes have never been my thing. HAHA.

then afterwards she went for her ogl interview, while i spent a really really blissful two hours in the library alone, borrowing books and reading one of them at some corner of the library.

FIVE out of the six books i borrowed were youth books! hahahaha i rediscovered my love for them on tuesday when i grabbed some short books from there to read while wolfie was doing his pw because i couldnt borrow any books.

i shall do this more often man! what a joy to sit there and do nothing but read and read in the warmth of my hoody.
at some point in time the rain started pouring outside, and it added to the bliss even more! :D :D i've always been wanting to spend an afternoon this way! hahaha.

although i just found out that yesterday was actually Halloween, but i would like to say i had a really
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! =D

spent the morning doing pw with two other groups in the class at RP, and then went..... SWIMMING with jasmine and jingshi at woodlands swimming complex! (that day i didn't go because wolfie had an injury on his leg, so i was really excited ytd.)

SWIMMING!
SWIMMINGGG!!
SWIMMINNNGGGG!!!

hehe. :D

before swimming:

omg its been such a long time since i went swimming i was so happy once i got into the water. the feeling there is simply irreplaceable! the swimming pool smell mixed in with the fresh air, and the buzzle of the people there, there's nothing else like that!

we'd swim for one or two laps, and then stop to chat for a much longer time before resuming again.. and this continued until we realised how late it had become! haha time flew!

but that wasn't before i spotted a swimming coach who looked distinctly like mine last time.
his face has changed (and his swimsuit, if not i'd recognise him instantly -.-), but his voice triggered my memory, and also er... the way he jumped into the water. HAHAHA.

and so i kept wondering whether its him, when a few kids called out "UNCLE NICO!!" and so yeah man IT'S REALLY HIM!!!
lol ohman! felt so cool to see him again after like six years! ^^

we decided to stop swimming finally, but we spotted the new jaccuzzi and went to try it out. hahaha we were so fascinated! and tried hard to make sure we didnt float away because of the force of the "massager"

so after that we went to join the rest of the people at zhiheng's house for steamboat. ate till i was more than 100% full i think, and then started playing bridge.
MY FIRST TIMEE!! i finally understood why the game is so fun! and when you lose you'll feel this sense of indignation, and will wanna try again. i won 2/3 times btw! heheh tyty! :P

then played mahjong, and had icecream!
really enjoyed myself alot alot, eating, playing, chatting and laughing.
it seriously felt like a chalet over there. luckily his parents aren't around, because all of us made so much noise. :D

cheers :D

anyway, some pictures that i didn't have time to post last time. :)

18TH MONTH ANNIVERSARY. ❤ Lower Seletar Reservoir.

ZHONG QIU JIE! :D

the children saw our big creation and came over to look and read out what we made! lmao seriously. traumatising man.

yeah that's all for now! look forward to next tuesday, when op will finally END!! YAYYYY!

2009-11-01T23:13:00.006+08:00

just watched The Secret again on channel u.

after... 2 years? guess it's still one of the most memorable and meaningful movie for me yet. HAHA.

although it's the second time already, third time if you considered i read the book once, but it still didn't fail to captivate me, though maybe not as much as the first time, of course.

jaychou is still so charming, and it's still such a touching movie. ❤

我是路小雨。我爱你。你爱我吗？

2009-11-11T21:22:00.011+08:00

haha i guess i'm functioning normally again!

feel like a load is lifted off my shoulders. maybe it's really girls' natural instinct to think too much.

will update more soon! when i have the time! only got half an hour left to my show with the SHUAI ahsir =D nobody agrees with me though. :( hahaha.

KNOW HOW RELIEF FEELS LIKE? ;)

thank you, Lord.

2009-11-29T23:11:00.010+08:00

haha i look towards my last post and its been quite long since i last blogged :P a few weeks already! oops.

anyway yeah, in this time, the holidays have started. and although many will agree that jc holidays arent really considered holidays at all, but its still a great feeling to be able to sleep till 11am without having to force yourself to wake up! (except when there's co lah hahaha)

have been spending time with family, friends and dear over the long period of time after exams ended, and i'm really glad for all these quality time spent! i know when this year transforms into next year i'll look back on this period of time with ultimate fondness ;)

one day i must especially talk about would be tuesday, which is a day whose memory i'll cherish alot, and relive thousands of times in a long time to come.

as what i wrote in my facebook album, it was A night of fun, music, love and lots of surprises.

all of us surprised wolfie with the birthday celebration that he didnt expect at all, and made him put on all those silly things which actually looked so cute. (blogger is getting weird right now so i cant post the photos here! boohoo =( )

ate at soupspoon, and made him walk to vch (that long, long journey) with all those things on. a group of guys beckoned him over to give him hugs and sing HappyBirthday for him! because the board hanging on his neck says, "I'm the birthday boy, give me a hug!" ^^

so sweet right that group of people! we initially thought they were going to make fun of him lor!

arrived at vch, took many photos, and then went in for Singout!09.
now i understand why ahbian they all kept fantasising over that place, just sitting there gives you a really magical feeling already (pardon the weird choice of words =P), imagine how they felt performing onstage (:

watched the concert, listening to them sing brought back many familiar feelings which i thought were lost after leaving phs. thats one of the reasons why i enjoyed myself.

really loved the last part, where the combined choir performed Do Re Mi and made it into a really cool flashmob affair.
at first there were only a few groups of people, then more and more people joined in, and then finally EVERY SINGLE ONE was there! super cool can! and then they performed the usual singout! finale, and the concert ended.
so heartwarming. :D :D :D

went out and took lots of photos again :D
we teased darwin for holding hands with yiyuan! hahaha he kept insisting they werent for real and got the really helpless look. LOL so funny. :P
HE DIDNT KNOW I WASNT FROM CHOIR! MRS WONG ALSO! lol mrs wong kept asking me to take pictures and insisting to the juniors i'm from choir. quite funny actually xD

afterwards we went out and surprised sheryl with her small bday celebration too :D she was really shocked! hahaha hope u enjoyed it girl :)

went for late supper at the macdonald's near raffles place, before training home after such a long night! really, really lovely one too. i guess what made it so was the people, the friendship, the love.
for things that are able to last for such a long time, and in many years to come. ♥

oh yeah! last weekend was the Odac camp which i was talking about previously too. was a nice experience!

first night was spent overnight in tents at west coast park, my first time there, so the night scene really made a good impression :D got a little bit homesick and started missing some people that first night, but when i woke up in the morning all was gone because the next day was home! hahaha.

amazing race was super tiring but got us alot of time to spend together as a group. the guys in our group made it possible for us to just sit back and do almost nothing! =P their map-reading and taking-shortcut skills are superb man!

kayaking was the most fun of all, where halfway through it rained, and then POURED! so like two years ago, i kayaked in the rain. hehe. kayaking was at chinese garden btw! i know you all will say its weird. HAHA.

went back to school to rest, and then it was time for NIGHTCYCLING! spent the bus ride with weiching where we ended up chatting instead of sleeping :D
started off from eastcoast, made lots of turns and a very long way, before arriving back again! fun, but was totally yeaping with joy when the trip ended =P

home the next day was nothing else but HOME SWEET HOME man. a great camp, but still super glad to be back to home, my bed, and everyone!

spent today's dinner with Mummy, and then lots of shopping at cwp afterwards! felt really great with the bit of xmasy atmosphere, and got lots of things home! ;) love my mummyy!

for the past few weeks this really blissful feeling has caught up with me. never felt like that for a long time to come already!
one big one should be the fact that exams are gone and holidays are here. (but i hope this feeling wont disappear next year!)
think there's another reason but don't feel like saying it here :P but yeah, life has many, many things that deserve our happiness ^^

HOPE TIME WILL PASS SLOWLY THIS HOLIDAYS!

2009-11-10T23:01:00.014+08:00

have you ever felt your hands getting so cold and clammy..
not only because of the many fans in the classroom.. but because of the own icy worry in you.

have you ever felt your heart race on and on, so fast you have no idea how to slow it down..
not because of what you should be nervous of at the moment, but of something else that is more frightening, that you could just give up everything for it not to happen.

when you hold on to the people around you, making up an excuse for the need for comfort..
to push away that fear, and cease those tears you know might fall.

have you ever tried so hard, pushing everything to the back of your mind because you know you can't fail to lose your concentration..
only to have them surface again, haunting you on and on.

2009-11-11T00:14:00.001+08:00

tell me, please?

2009-11-08T15:14:00.006+08:00

-seeking refuge.

i wanna go swimming!

& THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA is showing tonight! :D

2009-11-09T21:14:00.005+08:00

when you sit beside the window at night;
looking out; at the lights, the streets, the roads;
people, how little.
those favourite songs, softly playing on;
a futile attempt, to sooth those nerves.
hope, trying to push its way through;
the thick layer of fear;
disenchanted, the hope was gone;
and the fear became real.

2009-11-06T12:56:00.011+08:00

i'm feeling quite traumatised right now because i just downloaded a new version of the Windows Live Messenger (i didn't want to! they freaking forced me to by threatening that they won't let me sign in if i don't), and everything looks so different! my nice nice name colour can't be seen omg.

hmmph.

never mind i shall consult everyone on what to do when i go back for pw on sat. maybe nothing can be done! hahaha.

ok anyway, yesterday four of the groups went to school for abit of pw, and then we all went to eat Pastamania at bishan together! (well, most of us anyway.)

all of us got pissed off (more than pissed off actually) by the @#$%^&*! teacher. freaking pissed off! why is there such an unreasonable and mean teacher in the world. seriously man.
F*** her! hahahahah. that's what me and yanchng kept saying after the freaking phone call. =X you should pardon us because she deserves the choice of vocabulary!

they say she's just a LUMP of thing, hahaha and we should all rebel against her when we don't need her anymore! hmmph.
hope it went okay for the two groups today! and hope someone gave her a piece of our mind. xiaohui dont be daunted by her!!!
:D :D :D

oh and guess what? i got myself CONVERSE SHOES!

yanchng got a pair the other day because there was a sale, so yesterday i went to check it out with the rest of them after pastamania. hehe omg the whole throng of us were there while only i was choosing shoes :/ thanks you all! =P

didn't buy it at first cos i wanted to bring ahbian to see it when i meet her afterwards. so we all shopped around j8 (quite long since i've been there! it brought back the phs feel because we kept going there last time)

spent a very long time in FOX because we were all wowing over the sweaters and the other pretty stuff :D

then met bian! hahaha. it seems like we're forever meeting at bishan. LOL.
went to buy the shoes, got bubble tea at the usual place, then went to sit at the bus interchange again. ;) chatted chatted, and then i went down to read my book at the library. haha it's like becoming my favourite pasttime already!

met wolfie for dinner, at Mosburger! quite long since i ate there already.
went home, and here i am today, slacking and enjoying life at home because there's no school today! with no pw cos we are rehearsing on alternate days for the sake of our physical and mental health. HAHA.
this means pw early in the morning tomorrow though! dry run in school!

hopefully i can memorise my script properly by tonight. and guess what i think i have a bit of sore throat, abit of flu, and abit of cough. feeling abit unwell! gosh. hope it doesn't affect my OP!

look forward to tuesday, when we can all finally say Byebye to PW! yay! stinky pw! :P

- the bittersweet reality of life.

2009-11-06T00:05:00.002+08:00

sometimes you just let those thoughts run through your mind, and then wonder why, why, and why..

2009-11-04T20:48:00.004+08:00

i hope these mood swings of mine will be gone soon! before i do something that i will regret. haha.
i HAVE noticed my now easily sparkled temper, of which i show at times, and at other times just let it bubble underneath.

geez i never used to be so easily irritated! i used to have a wonderful temperament, where little things fail to rile me at all.

maybe i'm getting more sensitive, maybe i've just lost abit of my sense of security. and sometimes i just wonder whether i should take more things in my stride...

aiya i really don't know what's up with me nowadays. maybe i should attribute it to pms but i know it's not! hahaha okay hope it'll really be gone soon.
i wanna be the sweet lijia again!

HAHAHA :p

2009-10-27T15:00:00.003+08:00

THE WEATHER IS SO GOOD NOW :D
with the window open beside me while i'm starting to do I&R.

hope it stays this way when i go swimming later!
YAY SWIMMING! FINALLY!! =D

2009-10-26T23:11:00.003+08:00

i love rainy days and, rainy nights, more so. :)

2009-10-25T23:46:00.004+08:00

MY NEW BLOGSKIN IS NICE EH!

for now, goodbye to my skin for about THREE years (ohmy). WELCOME THE NEW ONE! *claps claps*

tag at my tagboard which looks so nice here :D hahahaha.

GOOD NIGHT PEOPLE! ;)

2009-08-09T17:20:00.012+08:00

there are many things in life we can never figure out..

many things, many happenings that we see with our eyes, that make us ponder, reflect, and learn.

many people around us, that sometimes we realise have so much within them to learn from.

life and the people and the love, something granted to us, and something we're entitled to take good care of, and treasure.

this weekend was one of love.

friday was a day of friendship, of leaving and separation. i wish you all the best, loretta dear. i'm missing you, remember to take real good care :) you know everyone of us care about you alot alot alot.

with lots of love.

yesterday was xinru's birthday celebration, when everyone gathered at my ahng's house and celebrated her birthday with her. the house was brimming with the adults, and lots of the little children!! and of course the middle-middle ones like me and my eldest niece and nephew.

all of us were fooling around, with the adults chatting together. my niece and i would be laughing secretly at the little funny stuff the young ones did, because we're old enough to laugh at them already. :P in years to come it'll be their turn too i guess!

it was nothing other than cool to see siting (1+ year old only) run up to xinru and hug her tight. maybe they'd become best friends next time.

jaryl was the only boy there and didn't play with the girls and we teased him that his favourite colour was pink. and when he entered the bedroom when xinru was in the toilet and i said that he was peeking at her! hahaha.

it was classic, when i took up the camera to snap a shot of the camera-shy yingying, and she held up her fake phone, and pressed the "camera button" (which actually produced a shutter sound) to counter my camera. omgosh my niece and i couldn't stop laughing at all!!

it was a moment to remember, to see how the usually-noisy xinru got the really shy look on her face and cuddled against us instead of standing up when we dimmed the lights and started singing happy birthday for her.

and how she refused to take a proper group photo because she wanted to walk to the front of the table where she can see her barney jellycake the right side up.

how she kept saying "xiaogugu" and holding tight onto my hand even when she was having her diapers changed because i was going home, and when tears welled up in her eyes and blotted out when i told her i had to go home, reminding me of the young me when my own ahng (her ahma now) was leaving me for the weekends. gosh it melted my heart.

that in one year she can grow up so much, and that in her two years (and many many more years ahead), to have brought so much joy to everyone. :)

2009-10-24T16:24:00.014+08:00

:D i shall blog on a frequent basis nowadays, because i think i ought to be pretty guilty about the quantitiy of my posts this year as compared to previous years. heh.

anyway! about my last post (the emo one :P), i'm ok! results werent good, but werent as bad as i expected. was quite sad initially, but after moderation my mood flew to up to the mountains, and i was really relieved. :D
nevertheless, i must really do better next time, and finally, for the next big exam of our lives! so i must work harder soon and into next year :)

stupid stella: huh why are u sad?
me: cos my results are not good :(
ss: huh.... *blah blah blah*
ss: but then u pass everything right?
me: NO! i failed two! (cos this conv took place before the moderation thing)
ss: *laughs indiscreetly* YOU WILL FAIL DE MEH?! ohman why u will fail one! *tries to hide laughter*

LOL THE MEAN GIRL! LMAO.

but yeah thank you for all of you (yes stellasong this includes you -.-) who showed your concern for me, and who were there! really really touched. (:

really hope that those who are taking the retest will be able to pass, and get promoted together as a class. really, really. JIAYOU.

another week has passed us, and i continue to confirm the fact that life is blissful now! pw is much more relaxing as only final touches are being added to our wr, and we're starting on op, which is much less tedious ;D
we're getting kinda slacky sometimes, it's funny how we just sat there during one pw lesson, tried to get some work done, but kept ending up chatting instead.

yy has got something against me because she keeps going against everything i say, and laughing at all the NORMAL stuff that i do! but i know she loves my nice & cheap hoody alot =P
she kept saying to jasmine, "LOOK AT YOUR FRIEND!", so when jas isn't around she cannot say that and she'll struggle HAHAHA.

but hahaha it's really great that the 5 of us got the chance to grow closer because we're in the same pw group. heh.

watched Julie&Julia with wolfie dear on tuesday! first movie after our exams ^^
it's a nice show, and it's based on a true story. the julia is so cute. and i witnessed the stuffing of a chicken! hahahaha. laughed like crazy at some parts!

top one is julia! :D
BON APPETITE~

we watched it at The Cathay, so had Pastamania before that, and then had an amusing time in all the random shops found at plaza sing. LOL.
and not to forget, Chippy's afterwards! sat outside plaza sing and kouped a spoon from 7eleven so that we could eat the chicken crisps :P
youtube videos are... laughs, laughs and more laughs. hahahaha...

have been having co this week! (but the next one will be after op)
sectionals wasn't as scary as i thought it'd be, because it's been really long since we had a last prac and i thought i've forgotten everything. HAHA. and i only got pointed out by hls once! :D

during combined prac i always look forward to dinnertime because my stomach would be growling during the practice all the time. even though i had M&Ms to distract me yesterday it still wasn't enough! and when the long-awaited dinnertime finally came i was full of joy!

tancheng, huiyi, meiqin and me always go to the secluded corner outside the library to enjoy our rice (and chilli!)
i remember there was once we couldn't stop laughing when one of us said something funny, and the rest began to sprout off random lameshit things, and it got so difficult to eat because we kept laughing! and we ended up being late for going back. yk even had to come out and call us! HAHAHA.

met wolfie for SUPPER after co ytd even though i just ate around 1hour before :P we saw TWO PERSONS which stunned us (not using the wand), and fate had it that we didnt need to stalk them, but saw them ONCE AGAIN, at a place that you'd last think of. OHMYTIAN I LAUGHED TILL I WAS HITTING THE WALL. hahahahahahahahahaha.

yishun is a really small place huh! hehe.

ok anyway i signed up for a camp! to get my nyaa award lah. and i'm actually excited about it! first time i'm excited for a camp! there's gonna be kayaking! YAY! another fond memory! ;D

so that's about all for this post! as aforementioned, i'll be blogging more frequently, so will write some more next time, soon! cheers :)

2009-10-19T20:09:00.005+08:00

it suddenly struck me that wednesday is arriving.. in just less than two days..

i knew it was coming.. all the way back last week, when i knew that is going to be the day. but just suddenly, it made its presence felt so starkly. nerves jumbled up, that's what it did for me.

fear and worry... the first time that i'm scared of facing reality of this sort. the answer to all the hard work of the year. something.. that deems those efforts... fruitful or futile.

many things are telling me i should be prepared for the worst. counting and calculating.. and those bad dreams i had. some things tell me i shouldn't worry, that it isn't so bad. sometimes you castigate yourself.. that i shouldn't complain even if the worst do come true, because there're others out there who are facing worse..

sometimes you try telling yourself, that it's not your fault, that other things are the factors, that sometimes, life is just not within your control. but when it comes to this kind of thing, at this point in time.. finding excuses for yourself just aren't going to work anymore, isn't it? and to top if off... you really do not know, which are the excuses, and which are the real reasons. and sometimes you think you care, and at other times you don't. sometimes emotions become a surprise to even the ones feeling them.

when you start off with high expectations.. the harshness of failure will just be harder to bear. when you have people around you that you just don't wanna disappoint, what will happen, when the disappointment becomes true?

2009-10-17T15:12:00.014+08:00

I decided that it's really time for me to resume blogging again!

after weeks of mugging hard for promos and days of deprived sleep, plus countless thoughts for everything to end quickly quickly quickly, LIFE IS FINALLY HERE AGAIN!

i remember the first day right after promos ended i actually slept till 1plus in the afternoon. now you can see how freaking tired it is! JC life is horrendous man. HAHA FOR ALL THOSE OUT THERE GRUMBLING ABOUT O LEVELS, JUST WAIT TILL YOU GET TO JC!!

despite a very badly done math paper (and not to forget the other papers that didn't go so well either), the five of us still went out for a celebratory meal after thursday, the last day of promos!

MANHATTAN FISH MARKET :D

from left: yanchng, jasmine, jingshi, me & xiaohui.

then we decided to be romantic, and went to esplanade, then embarked on our tour of the Singapore River. what a great way to spend the day that ends all the hard work of the entire year!

went down to the merlion platform too, because 4 out of 5 of us has never seen the merlion up close before =P

we attracted lots of attention to ourselves because we kept screaming HELLO to the people cruising by all those little boats bobbling down the river. and we kept wahh-ing at all the things there even though we're singaporeans and shouldn't sound even more suagu than the many many other tourists there. HEHE.

the night scene just started to change before us when we were looking out over the river. before we knew it the buildings opposite us have all been lit up, together with the Singapore flyer, and everything looks like it has been transformed. hahaha and of course, we kept wahhing over that too! LOL.

took many photos!
the river at night.

and then i spent the rest of the days slacking, watching all the hk and korean dramas, READING HARRY POTTY :D, and going out to meet friends!

i love all these lazy afternoons and lazy nights, where there's nothing much that compels you to stop lazing around, other than pw which is pretty enjoyable compared to the promos before that. if only these days can go on and on! HEH.

will be going to my ahng's house tonight with my mum! LOOKING FORWARD! and tmr it'll be steamboat at jh's house! YAY!! =D

and before i go,

爱在记忆中找你

我对你这一生哪个可比
我与你差一些永远一起
邂逅时间场地似连场好戏
要自何页说起wow ho
爱太重深呼吸欠缺空气
爱太美轻轻的却载不起
爱情来到时候似明媚天气
它走了突然骤变雪落雨飞

如果可以恨你全力痛恨你
连遇上亦要躲避
无非想放下你还是挂念你
谁又会及我伤悲
前事最怕有人提起
就算怎么伸尽手臂
我们亦有一些距离

你太远该怎么说对不起
你太近一转身却已高飞
快乐也许太短似场流星雨
一眨眼就如幻觉怕又记起
我情愿我狠心憎你
我还在记忆中找你

I LOVE RAYMOND LAM !!! he win jaychou already!

2009-08-16T09:52:00.009+08:00

hahahahahhahahahahahaa. i know you love this photo and my nice complexion =D and funny glasses! HAHA.

2009-07-28T00:11:00.005+08:00

:D

second day of hiatus for me at home, away from school, with the flu and sore throat that crept themselves in over the weekends.

although i'm missing out on vectors and chemical energetics and bio spa today =O, but i can't really say i mind..
because who would mind missing out on the two days of school that she dislikes the most? HAHA!

not that i really didn't want to go today, but apparently i must be obedient to doctor's orders and get my two full days of rest, or i'll be sent home by the school. haha jingshi and chaoqun alr got sent home today and last friday! pretty cool, huh.
xD

anyway these two days are doing me good! got my rest (quite sufficient by the way), got time to study abit and slack :D i ALWAYS feel good about missing school! hahahaha. okay, everybody feels good about missing school ^^

weekends was nice...

saturday there was the ndp09 rehearsal, so wolfie and me went down to cityhall cos we wanted to catch a glimpse of the fireworks ^^

throngs of people flowed down citylink mall, either because its a saturday, or because they were all there to see the fireworks!

wolfie deprived me of my jet airplanes!!! hahaha okay that's only halfway true because i'd have dragged him there if i hadn't succumbed to hunger myself. okay, succumbed to food. HEHE.

after resisting the temptations of many shops in raffles city(many failed attempts btw), went for dinner at marinasq!
awhile on the rooftop, and we heard Majulah Singapura from the distance, and this is what we saw! (inserts loud helicopters sounds)

didn't snap the shutter fast enough to catch all the helicopters! (there were five actually i think) oh well. at least i caught the flag!
and do you see the bit of pinkish sunset? :)

and then we went down to esplanade, (on the way up we realised the whole escalator was filled with couples. like an endless stream of them luh! LOL!)

the band in the front hall had many people sitting down or pausing to listen, as they thrilled out song after song of relaxing music.
talented people! :D

went through the crowds to the waterfront, and as usual, i ooh-ed and ahh-ed over all the mesmerizing and romantic lights :)
(this was just a testing shot but it ended up looking not bad, other than the people in front. haha!)

there was one eruption of fireworks that were shaped like many many many tiny stars at one point in time. i gushed over it! because it really looked so nice. many people paused now to stare and pour out their own set of Wows too. =D

waited for some time sitting down near the river, while we chatted and enjoyed the time as we waited for the fireworks to start.
there were boats cruising on the river which we assumed to be the things that will shoot out the fireworks. okay, wolfie assumed it. i wouldn't know this kind of thing. hahaha.

we spotted these things floating past us on the river!
nicey-nicey :D

and then after some time the first bout of fireworks started. they were so pretty!! ( i took videos so no photos to upload here!) they looked like gigantic sparkles that are just erupting right in your face.
i'm serious! they were just right in front of us! FIREWORKS MAKE ME HAPPY :D

after the fireworks when everyone started proceeding in one direction which baffled us tremendously because we were wondering where were they going, we went back to the stage where another band was performing before the fireworks, and started performing again after the fireworks.

decided to sit down and watch them, eating corn and drinking fruit punch bought from one of the roadside stalls ^^

different vocalists took their turn to come onstage. love sitting there, listening to all the different renditions, just enjoying the music and the nighttime atmosphere. with all the other singaporeans around us. :)

MARVELLOUS CREAM's strawberry icecream in waffle bowl afterwards, and bus 857 back again! a happy happy night once again :)

When he heard Ethan's long, laughing oath, the loud splash that followed it, and the roars of male satisfaction that came next, he grinned.
And he stayed there, grinning even as a tear escaped and trickled unnoticed down his cheek.

"Yeah, I could eat." Seth swiped a hand under his nose. "Got a dollar?"
When Cam laughed and punched the accelerator it was one of the best moments of Seth's life.

i know books can make me think, ponder, and learn quite a bit at times.

i didn't know shows can do that for me too!

- just a bout of randomness huh. (:

and since another special day is coming up three days later, just wanna use this chance...

all this one year and (coming) five months, i think there's hardly any moment i don't know (although sometimes i do forget) that i'm truly lucky to have you by my side.

how you always give in to me, trying to meet my crazy whims at times.
hardly ever losing your temper with me, simply because you care.
accepting me for who i am, trusting me.
taking care of me, telling me stuffs so that i won't feel left out.
supporting me for whatever decisions i make, being there for me all the time.

i just can't say how much you mean to me.

so i wanna say, loudly and clearly,
I LOVE YOU, LEE YAN CHENG. always.
♥

after reading a couple of blogs, i realised i miss my own blog too! so here i am once again, people :D

so midyears are finally over. heard that ninety percent of the cohort failed h2 econs, and the average grade for h2 maths is U. HAHAHAHAHAA that's uber funny luh! kind of puts you in a relieved state to know that no matter how badly you do, you won't be the only one xD

i look forward to seeing my math results. the most traumatising paper i've ever taken.

i love afternoon papers because it gives me time to slack, but also puts me in a false state of security, where the most common thing i'll tell myself is : "i still have time in the morning." which of course, doesn't hold true most of the time. xD

the day before our maths papers (math is the last one for me this time), lorettachu called me at midnight to get help for maths! and then we ended up chatting for like one hour (the whole time not talking about math at all =X). through the call we were like repeating, "we're so dead man", "wah we're going to fail maths." (cos we alr got no time to study yet we didn't hang up the phone lmao)

me: what if your mummy comes out?
lor: er... i'll tell her i'm asking math! which is true wad!
me: ooohhh... then what if my mummy comes out?
lor: er... then you'll say you're teaching math lor!
me: LOL LOL okayyyy~~ (although it's so not true)

*a while later* *mummy comes out*
mum: why are you still on the phone??
me: ohhhh... er... i'm... asking math!
lor(in the phone): laughs madly

so we said thank you to each other for helping each other with math O.O and we said You're welcome! to each other too. see, we're such polite girls luh! xD

hahahahaa.
loretta chu, i hope you do know i'll miss you alot when you really do fly off. but no matter what, we'll still be the best dears forever, alright? (: because you know that four years of friendship'll never be broken no matter the distance.

okay anyway! because of h1n1, ccas are cancelled till further notice. no wonder i feel quite relaxed nowadays although term3 is supposed to be alot more hectic!

and our timetable didnt change much except that now wed ends at 1245 instead of 145 =D, but thur ends at 115/215 instead of 1215. thats kinda not bad because there's no cca for me on wed! :D (unlike everyone else lah =P hehe)

anyway i decided that actually there's not alot of things to dread about school, since there're friends and everything, and actually the only day i really hate is monday, which is the first day of the week so you can get it over with quickly!

and i've started looking forward to the dec holidays hahaha although its still very long away but it shall be one of my motivations! =D

and of course, i really do believe it's time to start treasuring these last two years, where we can be crazy and have fun and do not have to worry about all the things that adults worry about, althought sometimes we have our own worries too.

that's totally how we felt when the five of us went to orchard after exams on thursday last week, where we screamed and laughed like almost the whole day at the most suagu-est things :P

anw yesterday was a happy day cos i got to meet lots of people!
stellie song for lunch at nyp where she made SUPER lots of noise when i was just like fifteen min late and i've waited for her like half my freaking life, met joanie and marilyn for orchard :D, wolfie deeearrr at cwp for kfc and walkwalk :D, and then yr jl wl for ghc dinner and lots of laughter!!! yay!

and oh thursday i celebrated lorettachu's super belated birthday with her. dear, hope you like your present!!! :D

today had morning breakfast at mac's with wolfie, and for the rest of the weekends i'm staying at home! because i'm a good good girl ^^ hehe.

when sometimes you get tired of life, try thinking of all the blessings you have. the many people who care.
questions which answers just seem to elude you, stop pondering, and they will come to you someday.
pause and stop, take a breath, and grab hold of your firm perspectives again.

look at this, i like this message (:

Wee got a message that on this day, God wants her to know...

... that every relationship rests on three legs: accepting, supporting and challenging.That's really it, isn't it? You want your relationships to be grounded on accepting each other as you are. On supporting each other through the inevitable ups and downs. On challenging each other to become more, to grow, to flourish. Which one of these is the more difficult one for you, and how are you going to practice it in the next 24 hours?
