Count me in

Whether we're weaving through the cityhall crowds or sitting alfresco and just lucky to catch the fireworks, or sharing bread and coffee and even though i roll my eyes at you all the time, i'm just glad you're here for me to link arms with and for always always understanding and being the friend who truly knows me inside out. And for the millionth time, i'll always be here your 24/7 listening ear - but i must say i really hope you pull yourself out of the rut you've been in :) you can do it. i love you lydia!

When i call out to you, will you be right there?

I think the highs i were feeling last week has completely evaporated because this week i've been slightly low like today when i was just dying to get home from school to take a long hot shower and let the stress of the day just melt away. I don't know i guess its just a combination of being busybusybusy and swim nats being over that has been making me feel a tad washed-out.

Still i'm so so so so happy how vjcswim did and not just the trophy we won but more importantly how much we've progressed as a team and i think we must be one of the happiest there at the finals yesterday! 4th for nationals!!!! Training, eating at manzhu post-csc and long bus rides after school together, we've come a long way since last year and i'm so proud to be a part of this amazing team :D one team, one dream, vjc swim! Yesterday's last dinner together at seoulgarden was fantastic even if i reeked so bad of bbq-ed food after haha and i know i've said this so many times but i am really really really gonna miss swimming! Will upload the pics when i get them.

Plus i made it through today at school awake - nescafelatte does the trick, even if it is at an inflated price of 1.20 boo. And writing 'hmph:(' on abc's lecture notes and talking to the girls always makes a tiring school day okay! Haha and i'm feeling much better after my hot shower and one hour nap (which i was quite rudely awakened from with a phonecall from mr.suspicious confirming tuition time haha). And i had a burito for a snack so now i'm all set to get my life with prelims a mere few weeks away in order! That means i gotta stop procrastinating and finally get down to being serious. But first i gotta get my history essay done once and for all.

Really can't wait for this weekend! Can't wait to see Dee after school tomorrow and catch a movie, and do our usual favourite stuff like eat yami yoghurt and just talk. Can't wait to meet Lydia on saturday as well so she can stress me into studying and i can talk her out of it :D and i can't wait to do weekend stuff (my godpa did say he wanted to go bukit timah to cycle on the trail and i actually am up for it heh).

Heh okay gotta get going on the essay now so i can watch tv in peace tonight :) happy thursday everyone!

Happy!

Happy because the vjc swim team is such an amazing team with our unwavering team support!! I love our team! Supporting them today at the heats was really fun not just learning french from Lucas haha and making the frames with Abc and Xiangli but also singing with SS our funny captain and stuffing myself non-stop with food.. Swim nats is such an experience really i'm glad we've formed such great memories as a team :D

Really happy because i had such a great time out earlier tonight. I missed spending time together so much - our morning assembly horrors, history classes, 4e1, recess breaks, tp-trips, OPC new zealand... 4 years in Peirce and so many memories I will never ever forget. And with Pris halfway across the world in Fisco, Mel and Ly in faraway woodlands and me in the east, i just can't believe nearly two years has passed since we were clustered around the canteen tables with the entire class. Haha eating icecream today and just catching up with each other on everything which we haven't done since the last time Pris was back felt so good. And reminiscing on all the funny times, the sad times, the happy times... There's really no school like Peirce :D




See? Happy! I love you three!

Kind of exhausted here.. its been a long happy day. A13 girls i missed you all today, i hope your singpost session (hmph haha) was productive and yes i will join you all next week! 8 more weeks to prelims? Right now all thoughts of that is shoved right out of my head. I just wanna enjoy the weekend first. Happy weekend! Alright its late, better turn in now.. Goodnight!

Why not take the plunge?

VJC Swim - h2o: two parts heart, one part obsession :D

Nationals are just next week and hahaha i feel so proud of the team even if we aren't gonna get any major medals or anything like that. I think we've grown so much as a team in one year especially recently and even I (the super potato couch) feel super sluggish training only once the past week as compared to the holidays. I'm gonna miss it all so much, feels funny not groaning and complaining before trainings and having heavy lunches at parkway on wednesdays and regretting after that.

OK whew. And i just finished watching the mona lisa smile dvd that Hwee lent me and its awesome i really really enjoyed it hahahaha what a smart good inspiring movie. I love lazy sundays like these slacking about not doing anything and deciding only later!

Post CTs

Post CTs have been absolutely fantastic i'm already starting to day-dream about post A'levels haha like today after escaping from the sweltering heat into Dome. I love not studying. I really do :D

And i love spending time with the 'uptown' girls hahaha!


Movie, dimsum and starbucks and shopping with MC, Vera and Meiyi, haircut, training, bumming out at ly's, icecream with THE no.3, eating/walking/talking with Nic my homey who can never keep track of the months in the calendar (don't worry I'll always be here to help you heh), ikea today with Jac, Abc, Hwee and later Annabelle in cityhall and now home to spend time with the family. Everyday should be like this hahaha. I'm having such a great time I'm almost actually ready for term 3 to start!! Or not. I can't believe its our last full school term - eeps as much as i'm looking forward to get the stupid A's over and done with i can't imagine my life without school at all. Heh.

Now i'm gonna go bum out and watch some dvds and feel happy and lazy and optimistic while i can!

But hope there is a you

Pic's from Vera's camera hahaha maybe this is why math paper today didn't go so good since this is what we do instead of listening during classes! But Abc's drawings and our lame passport pics crack me up everytime :D

Completely exhausted and my neck and back hurts back from the agonizing three hour papers bent over the teeny lecture hall tables but somehow I'm refusing to go to sleep... just because! There isn't any one reason in particular, maybe i'm just relishing this post exam good mood heh, especially since i met up with the girls for a short while earlier tonight - sexy sushi was funny right hahahaha! Even though i gotta be up at 6 to go to the airport tomorrow morning to send Uncle A off, the one night i can finally sleep proper without the stress of having a paper the next morning i choose to spend it glued to my keyboard!

A13 girlies we've made it through YET another exam together! There's still A levels to go, and i'm blessed that in the months to come, i have you guys and we can panic together, look forward together, maybe study properly together, chill out together and stay happy together!! Hahaha ok yeah you guys get what i mean.

Hmmm glad the cts are over - its such a painful process each time. Maybe when prelims near i might actually be ready for once. I hope. Oh and about the massive computer in my room? Its still here, but i shifted it into the corner where my brother has permanently established his own very spot (complete with flying posters and yucky scrunched up balls of tissue). Which means I have to study with him around, and he's such a ball of laughs. Not to mention a major distraction and cheesy music on the itunes, but still heh i love my dumbass of a brother a whole lot.

Oh well i give up staying online, i'm tired and its such a hectic day tomorrow.. whatever it is, its gonna be a GOOD one :D :D :D

Chills in the evening

Being with you was all that I needed
I don’t know why you were too blind to see it
Now you’re gone and I need you here tonight

You know that I can’t sleep 'cause i'm terrified
Feels like im falling down really fast inside
And I’m wishing the night away
These chills in the evening -
They wont go away

Its a beautiful mess, yes it is

After spending hours poring over my history notes and almost tearing my hair out in frustration from going nowhere with it I have decided not to care about it anymore - for now anyway, i'm just gonna put it aside, shove my notes somewhere under the pile of books on my table and just chill. Heh. Studying these days just isn't fulfilling, seems like the more you do the less gets done and it never feels like i've accomplished anything.

But i'm not too stressed, guess i'm just taking each day as it comes :D i keep telling myself there's only so much i can do. CTs are just next monday, and even though its hardly been a holiday with trainings and all the studying we're supposed to do, I'm really thankful for the break from the usual everyday school routine. Its been a good one month of doing things at my own pace (haha ok proven to be too slow since I have so much left to study!!) and fitting in some time with friends here and there. And training of course. I miss it already, now that its officially over.

OH and i've been eating and eating and eating. MORE yami yoghurt!!!!!! MORE! More! Haha i seem to get hungry all the time... but with so many things to stress over, my eating habits are really the last thing i'm worried about.

Pris is coming back tomorrow and I can't wait, not only does she always lug back so much goodies with her hahaha but also because i've really really really missed her so much.. And here's a shout out to my june holiday study buddy Lydia Mak, thank you for pressurising me like mad to study harder haha and for understanding when i'm late, and for sharing the many coffee mugs and even bimbimbap!

Tzlan, i'm sorry for being distant. I really am.

Gotta go, i'm so tired.

Yeah yeah yeah

'We were perfectly happy.. before we decided to live happily ever after.' - Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City.

I get stressed out by the strangest things. My brother bought this desktop com, black shiny, really cool looking, the monitor bigger than my tv - and it sits on my table, right in front of me, blocking out all my pictures on my corkboard behind, REALLY intimidating. Weird thing is I rather use the laptop, so here i am squeezing at the corner of my table because the new com takes up so much space. Hmph. And it really affects my studying as well, because everytime i write something, i look up and see my face reflected in it. And also the fact that when its on the whirring sound - it really gets to me! Grr.

I dont't care if its 10 times faster, i'm moving the com downstairs. No kidding.

The other day Dee and I caught Sex and the City at the movies - And okay since we're both born late late late in the year, as lame as this sounds we were actually kind of nervous about buying the tickets since we aren't eighteen. Haha ok it was ONLY movie tickets but anyway we were both in our usual sloppy attire pe shirt and all and so we headed to the counter, all composed (by our standards anyway!!) but actually sort of nervous and managed to get them successfully... until the guy handed us a scratch card together with our GV tix and we both went, 'SCRATCH CARD!!!!!' because who doesn't love scratch cards but what a giveaway haha and the guy glared at us but we grabbed the tickets and ran off, laughing all the way... heh and we got lucky with ridzuan our ex-peircean usher who let us in hahaha.

But that's Deedays for me. Completely devoid of stress :D just having fun and no matter how shitty I feel before meeting her it somehow vanishes. Plus the movie was really good!! Not that I didn't expect it to be, but it was even better. Hilarious. And very fuzzy and warm sort of feelings you get from chick flicks only it wasn't cliche or too corny.


Yesterday was swim meet and I'm happy with how I did and above that, I think the team did really well especially for the relays!!! I love the vj swim team even if its quite a combination of very different characters and personalities. I think I'd be quite sad when nationals come and it all ends, I'd especially miss all the time we spent in the changing room singing at the top of our lungs and whining to jiao-lian in the pool.

So its nearly the fourth week of the June term break already, and I foresee next week to be quite a crazy one because I have to finish EVERYTHING that I'm supposed to and its killing me because it is a lot and I am extremely extremely unprepared gaahhhh I can't believe my holiday is going to be over just like that!!

Better go, gotta get my kashmir essay done!

When life becomes a blur

Finally got my actionsampler developed and I'm really happy with the pictures! :D Taken pretty much throughout term 2 till the holidays, at scorching hot pre-sports day at parkway, our vivocity outing, and trainings at CSC and frolicking in the kiddy pool. Heh. Now our holidays (if you can even call it that heh) are ending, term 3's starting soon, JC life is three quarters over and A levels are nearing. But yay to capturing these happy memories!








And now I'm ready to load in a new roll of film :D Don't wanna miss out on the good times that are still yet to come, even if the months ahead don't seem to promise much. If only life could always be like that - sieving through the film to pick out the nice shots and forget about the not-so-nice ones... but somehow when we remember, the worse memories kinda lurk around for a really really long time.
