Its only Monday and I'm already looking forward to the weekend.

But today math was funny because Hwee and I had absolutely NO idea what was going on (okay, maybe not so funny) - gee I guess we both really depend too much on our reliable (and burpy?) Mr. Lim! With tuition I'm a fish out of water. Imagine if I didn't have tuition - haha I'll be buried 17(because its my favourite number!) feet under.

After school LJS and Starbucks with Jac, Hwee and Mama Chicken was fun! MC's stories always leave me feeling so amused. Hmm and with Hwee and Jac we can't seem to stop talking - we have a million things to rant and rave about! Haha thanks for making my day as great as my caramel frappucino with whipped cream on top :D

My 9 o'clock chinese drama has FINALLY ended and now I have no excuse for not studying an extra hour. Even though it was cheesy and really, really lame with its propagated army nonsense, I still enjoy it! Haha I can't help but burst out in fits of laughter every time those commando action fluff is screened. And Desperate Housewives season 3 is finally over. Phew. No Ugly Betty, no Desperate housewives and lame cheena shows - I should be able to get down to work, right!

Haha I hope. Ok its 11 minutes from Tuesday and I have yet to do econs tutorial which I have to painfully do research online. Eughhh oktedi.com(grrrr) here I come.

Two words: Great weekend :D

Swanky hotel rooms with luxurious bathrooms, a sumptuous dinner at Carnivore and really amusing Brazilian waiters, a splendid view of Marina and the fireworks, donut factory "birthday cake", heart-to-heart talking, 5-hour-long sleep and breakfast by the poolside. The best thing? A happy contented birthday girl Hwee(so glad you like our presents!), the best sleepover ever with my favourite VJ girls and captured memories(in the form of 200++ photographs and polaroids).

Thank you Hwee for everything. Happy Birthday and I hope you had a wonderful time :D I love you and I love all the girls!




When we first checked in and buying food at Marketplace. The rooms were so neat then. Heh.



Getting ready and squeezing in the tub with Vera and Mei Yi afterwards(it is possible!) The bathrooms were humongous. I'd say at least half my bedroom.. Hmm



Dinner before rushing back across to catch the fireworks :D Then we celebrated with the donuts!

Checked out this morning after brunch and lazing around in bed watching tv. Well Hwee thanks so much once again - it was so great to kick back and chill and just being around everyone for a night! Guess now its the time to shove any thoughts of R&R-ing at the back of our minds and concentrate on PROMOS! I promise I promise I promise!

Its just been a wonderful weekend and its an awful shame that its already over! Oh how I wish I could re-live this weekend again. Actually no - this way the memories will be sweeter. Heh I'm so tired now, but I'm tired-happy :)

Here I go.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

you drive away from my car crash of a heart

Happy Birthday Priscila Juli Angriawan :D You're ten thousand miles away and my life just isn't the same without you. I love you I love you I love you!

Looking back at the photographs we took last year and after reading Esther's blog, I'm really missing Peirce! The other day Jog drove past and the school has this huge grey barricade thing surrounding it with the whole construction thing going on. The new building will never be the same. It won't have the familiarity the old green and yellow walls used to bring... at least our memories will be forever.






Good times, good times :D especially when my bus rides took only 15 minutes and everyone knew everyone.

On a different note, its finally Saturday! In a few hours time I'll be with Hwee and the girls chilling out and having a great dinner and sleepover and taking 284274921 pictures I bet. I can't wait this has been the highlight of August - we're going to have a great time! Like the Korea nights all over again :D

I'm going to put all promo-worries behind me and enjoy the weekend. Even my mum let me off chinese tuition whoop dee doo! Heh.

Gloria Jean's hot chocolate with marshmallows is the perfect drink to make a day :D

And now they know. Everybody knows. Kind of heart-wrenching when I read Cher's message because it suddenly hit me that I never expected it to turn out this way. For over two years you gave me more than I could ever wish for, more than anything I could ever ask. For two years it was just you and I, and me and you. But I'm no longer 15, I'm no longer in Sec 3 and I've grown, I've changed and all I can hope for is for you to understand.

And sorry isn't enough, never will be enough, but its the only thing I can say: I'm sorry, just really, really sorry.

Hi girls. I love you! :D

Okay apparently its 42 days to the start of our promos. Scary, because I've not been adhering at all to the timetable I drew(I draw a new one nearly every week, when I get that momentary flash of motivation to start studying haha)! Its impossible. Just looking at the million and one things we have to remember and process and what little will I had before to start mugging instantly dissipates. Heh.

But I'm not going to stress out too much YET. I will soon of course but only after this weekend ;) This weekend is going to be a whole lot of fun and just fun. And nope, I will really NOT procrastinate anymore. I can't I just can't!

I like tuesdays despite the fact we have no break for six periods and two periods of econs to kick start our day. Seriously. And worser still, chinese is in the same classroom and while everyone else gets to skip(okay not really la, but they get to relax!) around the school the ten of us suffer, listening to laoshi(although she is so nice) drone on and on about Japanese graves. Yay. At least we get to come home early! And today those little girls dressed in the arabian costumes - that was funny totally cracked us all up. I will never torture my child by putting her through something like that - shudders. The eyebrows, red cheeks and gaping teeth still haunt me. Yikes! Hahaha

Tuition is starting soon and tuition always makes me feel so demoralised because I get things so slowly! And as time zooms past faster I am more aware that I will probably not have enough time to study. Ok forget that. No stressing out. But thank God for math tuition because lectures are so useless and I never really do listen anyway.

Okay got to go. Time to go prepare for tuition. And Vera, hope you get better soon! <3

When I have sore throat all I can think about is how good a tall glass of fizzy Coca Cola would taste.

Sob.

Mrs. Ting's place for our class gathering was really great - it was just the place to kick back and chill and I think all of us were fawning over how nice her place is. Heh so while the guys played pool, us girls watched A lot like love, which was kind of a draggy really slow-moving movie, and She's the Man (must be the hundredth time I'm watching it) which is still one of my favourite chick-flicks ever :D it totally cracked us up and we kept swooning over everything Duke Orsino did/said. Heh heh.

Hwee, if you're reading this all I can say is you better love us long time :D You have no idea what lengths(literally) Jac, Vera and I had to go to get your present. Haha! After Mrs. Ting's the three of us headed "downtown" (which is totally no downtown). We boarded 14 from the wrong side of the road after waiting for quite a while, happily decided to sit upstairs, and yakked and yakked away on how great the movie was, talking about the best scenes in the movie and how cute Duke looked. So even when 14 passed Siglap, we still DID NOT realise we were er, nowhere near town but instead in BEDOK. Haha so we rushed off the bus and crossed over to the other side rather sheepishly and boarded 14, with me surviving on Vera's prawn Pretz. Heh and we finally reached Dhoby about ten thousand years later.

Just got home not long ago. I am feeling very guilty - haven't done any homework at all, haven't even started preparing for the promos O_o but I guess I'll start tomorrow. And I promise I will NOT procrastinate.

By the way Hwee! This is from dictionary-dot-com:

complaintive

adjective
expressing pain or dissatisfaction of resentment; "a complaining boss" [syn: complaining] [ant: uncomplaining]

See! It does sort of exist, just in a different spelling! HAHA you are just being such a complainer-girl!!!! Kidding. I <3 you and thanks for cheering me up yesterday. You always succeed :D

Its already August but still I can't feel more blessed to be in VJ and in A13 :D I mean it still feels surreal to wake up in the morning and don the uniform, and everyday(except when I have unfinished homework) school is actually quite a joy. Heh I love you all A13 girls - esp. Jac, Hwee, ABC, Vera, Anna-leow, Mei Yi and Mama Chicken!

National Day is over and well even though its such a corny concept with the parade, the propagated songs and banners plastered all around my estate; and while I'm not exactly the most patriotic person in Singapore and I find so many things to gripe about, I'll still gladly sing along to the cheesy lyrics and wave plastic flags :D

So today when I was about to die from boredom(and I also refused to let myself study), JT suggested we should watch the fireworks and off we went with Dom as well - threw ourselves into the mobbing crowd and ended up walking around aimlessly on empty stomachs looking for a good spot to catch the - what else but the fireworks! After many twists and turns and climbing up and down flights of staircases(which was really fun though!) we found a place which wasn't half bad to catch the fireworks. And we were just in time :D







Watching the fireworks was really great - despite the fact the entire Marina area was swarming with people, and even though the fireworks lasted for a mere ten(?) minutes, it was quite an experience :D and it was just really nice to catch up with each other and satisfy our hunger after that with good food and haha, ginger green tea monster drink?

:D Happy National Day!

Moody Grapes

Its National Day and I am stuck at home with stupid flu and a sore throat that isn't making my voice raspy but instead every time I try to talk I feel like I'm swallowing a ball of needles.. So I've been spending my day sleeping in because I feel so tired and because I've been forced to take Pi-Pa-Kao and pills and gross syrup-medicine which I swear tastes worse than the tar-water Mrs. Joe feeds Pip in Great Expectations.

Haha. No really, I guess I am in a mood because today was supposed to be a good day :( But anyway I should have realized earlier its never worth it to expect too much of something... Anyway, what could I have expected?

But at least my day isn't going to be a total disappointment after all. Off to catch the fireworks! Thankfully I'm not feeling so ill anymore - guess the medicine and the 18 hours of sleep did help, heh.

I'm looking forward to the next few days - four whole days of relaxing and mooching around, whats not to like? :D

im calling it love soon
im calling it love soon
you can cross the line whenever you want to
I'm calling it love soon
close your mind and waste some time if you have to
I'm calling it love soon
it's not about you now
it's what we are

OK. Its already Sunday and my weekend is over! Sob don't get me wrong, school is great... I mean I really love the company of the girls and the rest of the class; chit-chatting during lectures; dashing to the canteen in between lectures and tutorials to buy warm, yummy egg-bread or pao and most lessons are in fact really very engaging. And eating my favourite stingray with fried rice, heh heh. The thing is, school can be so tiring sometimes!! By the time I reach home from school all I want to do is take a nice hot shower and plop on my bed and sleep which is of course impossible with the amount of homework we are given. And moreover with just 6 weeks to promos, I should already be preparing and while I am constantly reminding myself to do so I must confess I have absolutely no will power to sit still for at least an hour to look through my work :(

It does not help that tv is a major major distraction and being such a huge tv junkie I 'll gladly put my work aside even for corny channel 8 7'oclock shows! Haha but on a brighter note I have been using the computer less frequently..

But I had a pretty good week. We have managed to make some progress with PW! Yay Anna-leow :D We have received our first reply from the first email we've sent and I must say I was really quite skeptical that anyone would be kind enough to reply to a bunch of vermins like us. And we've also finalised our proposal and at least the stage is now set for the written report.

So phew. At least we only do it for one year! And this week Hwee and I went out quite a few times to Parkway on Wednesday and cabbed together to Marina on Friday and we went to chijmes for a short while yesterday to check out the restaurants :D Thanks Hwee for being such an awesome companion I had a really good time! I love you Hwee! And Jac now that your reunion thingie is over we can finally take 43/76 together again and update each other on our evil thoughts heh.

Managed to meet up with Lydia, Jen and Fings as well on Friday night to celebrate Jen's birthday. Happy Birthday wonderchild :D I'm really glad you had a great time and thank you so much for dinner! Its been a while since we've met up and I think the last time four of us went out together was Jen's birthday last year - we've really changed quite a bit and its nice to catch up with each other especially since we're all in different schools. I love you girls!

on Friday..


and here, the four of us again, but last year. Time flies.



Remember how it was when we were back in primary school and autograph books were passed around all the time? And besides filling in your contact details you'll also write your "favourites" and mundane lame stuff like who's your best friend and who's not? Then you'll scribble something under the title message like "hope you pass your exams with flying colours!" before signing off with a "poem". And all of it would be in ridiculously coloured ink(queuing at the bookshop and spending all my moolah$$ on pentel/jap pens). Haha. I mean I don't really keep in touch with anyone from Pei Chun except Lydia and a few others but I still keep all those books. And I really wish we passed them around in secondary school instead because it would have been ten thousand times more significant... Oh well. Its too late for regrets but heh at least the "poems" remain applicable now. "birds fly high, hard to catch, friends like you, never forget" and haha it is so lame but thats exactly the way I feel about all my Peirce friends! I miss you all very much!

Enough musing I HAVE to get some work done. I haven't even annotated the lit prose passage and the essay is due tomorrow! And there's so much to be done.. At least this week I don't have to look forward to the weekend ;) By Wednesday school will be done and heh I can look forward to at least 4 days of play!
