it seems like it was just yesterday, that we held our hopes high for the unforseenable future, the future we knew we had to overcome.

all i want for christmas, are those moments that took my breath away.

this is gonna be a belated post, but nvm. 2shay gathering was great man, though many people couldnt quite make it, gah );

there's one thing i cant quite believe: those silly monsters (alvina, sameerah, yi min) actually came up with a list of proposals for activities for the gathering :D haha, i almost fainted. but the games were so fun, especially the one where we played captain's ball with water balloons, but here's the catch: you cant use your hands but the ends of your shirt, which kinda acts like a catapult. seriously, we gave up after some time & used our hands instead :D

& oh, we buried sameerah in the sand, alive. i think she was beginning to blacklist all of us & planning to get her sweet revenge for being buried in the sand, HAHA. sameerah looks so cute with her hands and legs buried, she looks like a pilot in an aeroplane! haha.

there were quite a few retarded things we did in the waters, but i cant quite remember. blame me for my short term memory, it's acting up again, bleh. okay, basically, we played ball, formed a choochoo train while singing a bunch of random songs like thousand legged worm, and even did BILLY BANJA. (we couldnt even see our feet!) haha. we had night cycling after that, which was totally calming with the cool fresh air blowing past your face(:

okay, that was 2shay gathering recap. it was the best 2s outing, but could have been better if the rest came ); but nevertheless, job well done organisers!

-

hmm. i realised i have been missing out on a lot of people. dont know why, but there's this feeling of being left behind. i hope this is just a passing phase, bleh.

anyways, i just returned from my japan trip a week ago. the japanese are such gracious people. (: everything is orderly and disciplined, commuters queue up for the train even though it'd only arrive like 5 mins later, and everyone is keeping to one side of the escalators. the food is great, with the sushis, miso soups, and teriyaki sauce! (of course, not on it's own la-.-) the jap school uni is awesomee, haha, if only i could bring back one set of those:D oh, there's this shopping street that goes on and on for eternity, it's kinda like our local bugis street, only better (: it's a shopping haven, really.

but for now, im back and proud to be a native singaporean. (: haha. pretty cooped up with orientation planning and sl stuff. but i'm glad i'm taking on such activities. haha, i've met new people in the past month. it's a gd experience:D, even when it's past twelve and you are still chionging for proposals. but still, it can be pretty fun with the company!:D

random: i miss PE lessons a lot.

OH and guess what, my mummy is hooked on korean dramas now. HAHA i think it's pretty cool to have a mum who stays up late till 3am to watch those drama serials:D haha mummy is the coolest man. love her!

i don't know why but this doesnt feel like the exam period. & i've been preoccupied with little insignificant things, and i think i need my notes to distract me already. well it's just another week, & it'll all be over. i guess i'll need all the strength i can get. (:

believe it or not, i don't want exams to end, yet i want them to be over soon. haha, it's so contradictory, but seriously, i think i'd be better off studying for the exams than to become a decomposing by-product after that. i think i'm not making any sense but nevermind.

& i think the only thing that is driving me right now is the thought of seeing those kids again, to play with them, talk with them, & so many many other things. every time i see them, i cant help but smile because their liveliness & everything just reminds ourselves of our childhood(: i miss them!

okaay, i'm off to study already. thanks for all the well wishes:D
& good luck to those taking the o levels this week, alright.

goodbye,
for now.

i think it's sad. people come and people go all the time.
but we just don't know when the time will come.

I just heard. Although I'm no longer in cedar anymore, I don't know why it hurts so much. To see the people around me sad, to see them trying to tide over, but yet in no position to be able to help them get through this.

I'll never know how much she means to some, but somehow she comes across as someone familiar yet so distant to me.

And then, I looked through every single yearbook I had. Looking through old pages of the used-to-be(s) was like remiscing past times, but the strange thing was, i think i almost lost the ability to feel. I guess people who can be once next to you, can become so distant within the period of a very short time. And life, can be so tangible and fragile at the same time.

words stay, but dont sound the same anymore.
it's like rummaging through pieces from an empty bottle.
maybe it's time we all got on with our lives?

My heart's with you, Mrs Ng.

okay, I'm back. it's so hard to get in touch with everyone now, when there are always things springing out from nowhere to steal your time and energy away, well you get the drift.

i think it's scary, that everyone's falling ill if not getting hurt. there are just way too many incidences these few months, & i don't want to see another falling. ):

the past few weeks were packed with countless tests, but i guess it's the same anywhere else. i can't ask for more, please. i didn't fare too well for them, but neither am i setting my standards high, because as before, i guess i'm okay as long as i stay on par? sometimes i don't know how to deal with people. people who are always putting themselves on the blame, when their standards of faring well are just towering over mine.

like come on, marks are marks & we can't change them. the most we can make out of them are the mistakes we make, and every one of them is like a learning experience. & i know it's easy said, but we all have to try, somehow. maybe the next time we make a mistake we can all slap ourselves in the face & laugh or something, rather than putting ourselves within four walls & affecting everything else that comes around.

this part of me, i'm still trying alright.

& oh, you never know how much i hate it when assumptions are made by people all the time. like, you get this feeling that people know you, all the way to the core, but they barely get to the crust. (okay, i'm not referring to anyone here, but just in general.) if people don't even make the effort to really get to you, then i don't think they would make any difference if they're always trying to put you down.

then there's fundraising for gamelan because we are taking the little kids out for an outing next term, prolly after exams. (: can't wait for that, really. baking cookies and brownies was fun, though we kinda cheated and took the fast forward by using the prepared mix :D haha, maybe we'll try out the long way sometime(: the candyfloss was a success, kudos to natalie for never giving up & being strong when there really was a demand for it :D anyway, we rock luh.

and yeah, friday was amazing. went back to cedar at seven only to know that school started at about five thirty? cassie went along with me(: saw all the teachers and students running, and occasionally waved to some who ran past.

i'm happy because i got to see familiar faces again, but seriously i nearly couldn't recognize half the school, maybe because the upper sec were very much involved in the organising. i think it could have been better if flowers were delivered to teachers after their run :D

gaah, didn't manage to see some people though ): um, but saw a couple of 2shayians and we played dodgeball, only that we got the whole field as our playing area. so funny, and i was to first one out -.- HAHA, we should play it again sometime. talked a bit with other 2s peeps, and some are still the same, but slightly chubbier, haha. i hope they don't mind if i return to pinch their cheeks or something once in a while? (:

friday afternoon was the love♥ i don't know, but i guess i kinda missed all the fun at the bird park, and missed class outing ): it was my first time playing, but i had great company. i heart the team! chinwee, eliza, becca, huiyin, jia ying, wei ting and viona. all superwoman, i tell you. it was a great experience luh, never believed how a group of girls could make it through the six matches.

where's class chalet? ): suba, i'll help you with the organising when time comes, maybe when the damned exams are over. anyway, i miss you too! it's been months since we last saw each other.

remember the days,

we set out together with faith.

but look at things now, look around,

& see how they have changed.

but some things stay the same ♥

okay, so many things have happened, & looking back I cant believe I made it through every single one of them. especially with the passing of the float design comp which left so many of us drained, staying through the night to perfect our steps, catching the last bus home for two nights in a row, but i never regretted joining the crew because i seriously learnt so much from them.

the teamwork & invisible pillars that held us together, made us through every single setback, that period of horror we had after we flopped druing rehearsal, we made it through. that experience was worth everything else.

& I met hong hui & elaine there! hong hui, get well soon, you should have been there on the actual day girl [: i miss you, fellow 2shay-ian, that's if you read this.

sigh, school has become a centre for homework & assignment outbreaks, & i think i could go crazy someday. BUT dont worry, I'll try my very best to keep myself sane alright (: gaaah, will you just take a look at the test schedule, i think i need to take a deep breath before the week comes.

guess what, service learning has become the highlight of my school life already, because i know teaching kids to count and playing little games with them are much more meaningful, & it's like reliving my childhood days again, only now that I'm helping them create new memories for them and us :D It's always so encouraging to see them understand whatever we've just taught them, but can be just as discouraging when we try our ways to make them understand :D

Anywho, it's a learning experience, and the kids are simply adorablee. Plus, who could resist those cute little eyes when they stare right back you, there's just so much to learn & gain with every minute spent with them.

then there's the sports events last thursday plus this week, & I've seen how strong people can be, pushing right to the very end. You know, I think running for someone or for a cause is much more meaningful than for the sake of running or taking up that lane. And as I was running, the only thing that spurred me on was the hearty encouragements even from the opposite sides of the track, people shouting at the top of their voices to not give up. & I am very grateful for a special someone who was there for me at the end, asking me if i'm alright & tending to me right after. [:

I'm really thankful for having friends like them who'd go the extent to run across the field to cheer for you, run frantically to you to see if you're alright, & palpably be there for you.

I think it's funny, the way we'll run to the finishing line to give a hug to whoever who just ran, no matter what position was attained or achieved. And I'm pretty inspired by vanee, because she has a damn good reason for herself to run that race, & we're all proud of her (: And to all those who were sub-bed in at the last minute did outstandingly well, like huiyin :D

And to the 4x100 team: huixin, vanee and huiyin, I could never have asked for a better team, because everyone one of you ran your best alright. I love us!

Those who are down better get well soon, because now is like the getting sick period, & the weather is becoming so unpredictable and random. Everyone had better drink more water & get enough sleep these days luh.

& OH, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE, we are young but still growing strong (:

believe it or not, I love our national day songs, particularly those dated a few years back like We Will Get There, Where I Belong etc, because they are so inspiring :D I think these songs are something we can call our own, because we are the only ones who can relate to the lyrics really weally well [:
which reminds me of community singing sessions in cedar(: gaah, i missed those times we screamed & swayed together as a class(:
but they are memories now.

whether rain or shine, you are still beautiful.
