Another sun-soaked season fades away

New Year's Eve.

So here's my last post for 2007. Tonight I'd be counting down and when the clock strikes twelve, a midst the jubilant cheers and shouts and hugs and kisses I know deep down I'll be really sad - I don't want to grow one year older. I'm not ready to tackle the challenges next year has in store for me. I haven't really had the time to savour every wonderful moment I experienced this year yet. I can hardly even catch my breath, like there's an abrupt 'The End' to this chapter in my life. There's so many uncertainties, so many hopes and fears...

But I'm going to brush that all aside and look forward to 2008 because I know even though next year will be tough, but along the way I'd learn how to overcome all the trials and I know I'll have my family and friends to support me the whole way through :) and of course there are things to look forward to. This year has been so amazing because I've met some really great people whom I now can't imagine life without(Dominic, the 7 girls, the Igorians..) A big thank you to everyone who has been here for me in some way or another especially my bestest friends. I love you all very much.

Good times, bad times, happy times, sad times.. they make me. And I have no regrets at all - this year has had its ups and downs but for most part, everything pretty much fell into place in the end. Or at least I hope they did. OK deep breath - here's to starting a new chapter, here's to having loved ones with us always, here's to all the memories in 2007, and here's to living every day to the fullest in 2008 :D

Happy New Year everyone!

Too good to eat

Be happy - eat Christmas! :D This gift completely took me by surprise but I reaalllyy appreciated sunshine Dan's cheesy attempt to cheer me up. That's what friends are for! But I still can't bear to take a bite from the adorable chocolate Christmas tree hahaha.

Love Actually

'but now let me say without hope or agenda, because its Christmas, (and at Christmas you tell the truth), that to me you are perfect, and that my wasted heart will love you..'

Merry Christmas you :(

Everyday has been so packed for me but I suppose I do like it this way because it keeps my mind off stuff. Sleepover with Pris when she came back for two nights with Mel and Lois joining us on the second night when we talked until we all fell asleep. And Christmas dinner with the girls on Thursday night which was absolutely fantastic. I'm really really looking forward to spending 2008 with you girls in school next year!

Can't believe the year is coming to an end in just a few days. I'm not ready in the slightest bit and its awfully hard to be positive about it.. Especially since I have r-papers!!! Ogl stuff however has been so much fun and I'm just so thankful for the great experience I've had this holidays and all the friends I've made. I really couldn't have asked for a better Nov/Dec holiday :D Even though I pretty much hit rock bottom at one point, the highs really override all the lows. And that'll be a lesson I've learnt.

Never leap before you look.

The past two weeks have really been some sort of a rollercoaster ride - queued up patiently filled with anticipation and a little bit of dread; and while I was on it, I sat there buckling in my seat, squeezing my eyes shut, with every dip and every turn feeling worse than the one before. And the aftermath? I emerge still in one piece, relieved, and.. with no regrets at all.

Hit rewind. My December begins here! Pris is back today and we'll have our two-night sleepover, lunch with my relatives tomorrow and the Christmas party with the 7 girls to follow at night, OGL camp... and before I even get to catch my breath, I'll be waking up on the 25th ready to unwrap the presents under the tree and stuff myself with turkey and the many goodies!

When you're dreaming with a broken heart the giving up is the hardest part - she takes you in with her crying eyes then all at once you have to say goodbye wondering: could you stay my love? Will you wake up by my side?

But she can't. 'Cause she's gone gone gone gone gone..

All you need is love

Yesterday my brother took me for a spin out in town in the evening to get my spirits up and I had a wonderful time with him 'express-shopping' (or so he calls it because I am super speedy when I need to be) despite the drizzle and crowds and long long queues. And in 1 hour - we finished our Christmas shopping from Wheelock to Taka, getting all the gifts wrapped and even managed to take some pictures of the pretty lights before vrooming home just in time for dinner :) I love Jon very very much and I love how great our tree looks with the many packages piling up below.

Nippon-go

These really, really made my otherwise long and lousy week :D Kam-pa-dei ku-dah-sai!

When the Christmas season is over, I'm gonna swear off town for a couple of weeks maybe even months because ENOUGH is ENOUGH! I've been in Orchard Road so much over the past few days shopping for presents (its an endless list, honestly) and the crowds just drive me nuts. Moreover each time I've been excessively drinking starbucks and I'd better stop because I'm becoming a real case of nerves hahaha. But that doesn't mean I don't like giving presents - this year I really spent quite a bit of time and lots of love on them heh but I know its all gonna be worth it since they are all for the people who mean a whole lot to me! :D

Wednesday after econs tuition was pretty funny because while Meiyi and I were strolling through J8 we spotted THE ultimate eastsider Hweeling Lee and the whole scenario was hilarious. Haha Hwee I do hope you come around more often.

Alright I'd better go - gotta get some homework done and besides, I've to head downtown again in a bit before meeting Jac, Hwee and Vera for Meiyi's band concert later tonight!

So close and still so far

Just like a shooting star, a spectacular moment of lights in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity - in a flash, its all gone. But no regrets there, none at all, because every wonderful moment shared still lingers, every memory...

You get me everytime

Dinner on Thursday at chomp chomp + dessert afterwards with Felix, Jen, Dee, Samuel and Alvin brought back lots of good memories. Plenty of lame jokes and reminiscing over good local food :D Felix! Great to have you back from the land of oz heh we missed you.

And yesterday was spent in Sentosa and Vivo with the Igorians and now I'm awfully sunburnt but I had such a good time with them especially Dragon, Charmander and Hello Kitty :) before ending my day with Dom at Dhoby. Present shopping later today and on Tuesday with Hweetos. I'm all psyched for Christmas with the mini gathering with the a13 girls on the 20th(when we have our gift exchange FINALLY hahaha) and so much more to look forward to.

Queet Queet.

On this night we breathe air
What makes it so different
What makes you not care
Well I wish that we could be the same
And I wish that you could give up this game
Don't want to be one of them
And so i will sing

Well if I live for a million years
I would be right there to catch your tears
Will you get over it this time
If this the last time

Will you say goodbye before you leave
Will you say goodnight
Just one more time please
Will you call my phone out of regret
And will you love again
With other than me, other than me
And will you speak of me with other than me
And will you remember me
