I have been watching a lot of movies, and going out and spending quite a lot! Can't wait to receive my pay so I can erase the negative sign in my savings!

Carolyn, Michelle, Nan, Clairie, Jo and I went to the flea at scape yesterday! As usual, Jo bought the most, then mich bought a cuddly sweater, claire a dress, and I bought a dress toooo! Wish I can see claire in her dress for caroling! Haha.

I got some jobs during the hols, tution for 2 nice (?) primary six girls and being a camp facilitator at high achievers! The camp job would be able to give me a lot of experience I believe, haha, not the usual kind of thing I would usually do^^

I'm going to be enjoying caroling during this christmas week! Haha. It does feel different caroling as a senior! I wouldn't carol next year already I think, all the faces will be different and I wouldn't feel so nice caroling as a stranger! haha..dunno la that's still far away :)

I'm going to my maternal grandmother's house later, wish I can see my nephew! Don't you simply love kids too?^^ they are so easy to love and understand(:

Missing my friends who are overseas!

mmm that's all!

It's been so long since I've posted. There are many things that have happened inbetween the time lapse, mmm but my mind's kind of mixed up about the sequence of events! Somehow I remember the actual events, but not their sequence of occurrence and the date!

Been missing choir a little, studying's so tedious and routine and boring!! I was sick to death of facing the four walls of my house everyday and having to survive on takeouts/instant noodles for the past 1 month we had prelims! In order to salvage my sanity, I shall seek refuge at gram's! Where lovingly cooked food is in abundance to satiate this glutton's desire for fooooodd! :)) I can actually see the sea from the 21st floor you know! So calm and peaceful and ocean-ish:) Though living at gram's is like living in the 1990s, I have a radio and television and my trusty handphone to keep me sane. I can't have my nano either, since I can't charge:((

You know something, giammie and nan and I went to SPCA todae! haha. It was only for fun, though during one of her kuku attacks giammie talked about adopting and leaving at nan's when we go to school. All of us played with a dog that we liked best there. We also agreed to adopt together if we ever live together in future. The animals there looked really sad. The dogs were all barking and trying to escape from their cages. And I think SPCA really needs more funds. Just like all charity organisations. :(

Prelims though a month, was over in a flash! It's quite sad actually, that we're all going to go our separate ways in the matter of a few months. With different commitments pulling us apart, it'll get increasingly difficult to meet up. I will miss seeing everyone everyday, in the morning when we're all still rubbing the sleep from our eyes, during break times when we pace the stalls and debate on where to bestow our spending, during lessons and lectures when we sleep, when we discuss, when we ask questions, when we joke with our tutors...I'm seeing you guys almost everyday, the normal happenings of school...但这自然不过的学校生活...I can't explain how much I will miss everything...simple as school life seems, it's something that I will never want to miss out on even if I have a second choice.

Will be going out tmr, enjoying the last few days of freedom! Until wednesday when I'll be forced to return to my books! Muggggmuggggmugggg

I think it's a little sad that people must be so unforgiving and judgmental. If this particular guy irritates you, you can walk away...forgive, be accepting, fume for a while, and the next day why not be friends again? People express different personalities at different times I think. Or different sides under different circumstances. So just remember people for their good points and forgive them for their bad? :) Maybe it's just a good thing I don't have a very good memory! Perhaps it's bad too, cos I usually can't remember who borrowed things like notes and I end up ransacking my cupboard and feeling irritated when I think I lost them. haha.

Oh dear, I'm supposed to call someone at 945. I don't think I'm gonna make it!

*magic! I've just received an sms to call at 1030 instead! :) How nice things work out.

The class and I went to watch "Devil" at Marina Square on Friday after our last paper! It was so THRILLING! haha. Nicole and I screamed a bit. A lot actually. The first time I screamed in a movie. Haha. It was influence okay! Besides, the theatre had us and 6 other people making up the members of the audience anyway...hee.. The movie was really nice! I kept the tickets and it's so long:)

Sigh..not that I've been slacking also. I did 1 bio mcq and 1 chem paper 2 question (:D) during the weekend. And I answered some questions and did maths and elasticity:)

Oh yeah! Did I post about my piano performance before? Anyways, that was what happened! My first piano performance! It felt so nice to perform on stage! Dance was fun and thrilling, choir was enjoyable (and amazing with mr kwei) but piano really felt different cos it was so much more solo! I felt so happy and high to feel the familiar rush of adrenaline as I stepped on stage. It's something that I will always crave for...the feeling's indescribable :)

Alright, that's it! Until the end of A levels! :) All the best to year 1s for your promos and us for As! :)

Blogging...has its merits and demerits I suppose. It helps to get stuff off my chest, but the privacy that it offers, well, as with the implications of "world wide web", is virtually negligible.

People are starting to get anxious about their studies, people who have been slacking for almost too long! I wish everyone all the best in their studies and revise but don't burn out too fast:) quoting the math department in the revision booklet, we should "build steadily towards prelims and A levels" :D I've done my work! haha. I should start being like edwin and hibernate with my books. And be as disciplined and determined as he. Sigh..edwinedwin.

I kind of envy the juniors when I heard them practice last week. Choir...seems like a long time ago, yet it seems like yesterday. Funny how your mind jumbles things up regardless of the time of occurrence? If you were to ask me when I celebrated merilyn's birthday, I would say last week, even if it was 2 weeks ago. haha:)

Alright byeez

Just one month or so to prelims. Sounds really scary. Should start mugging hard too:)

All the best!

I can't believe I'm about to make 'the' choice. For years I've been waking up, going to school, coming home, doing my homework, sleeping, then waking up...the cycle repeats itself. Isn't it for you too? But what is all these for? I believe I'm not the only one clueless about my future career and all those stuff...as my CT pointed out, this will be a milestone, a huge decision that will alter the rest of our lives. At the age of 18 (to be more exact, 17 +), do you know what you want to do in future? I don't...isn't that regrettable? If a light would appear and show us the way! haha..but that only appears in fantasies I guess..

Fairy tales...I used to pester my mother to read one story to me each night before I went to bed. Among my selections were popular classics like Snow White and the Seven dwarves, Rapunzel, Jack and the Bean stalk, Goldilocks and The Gingerbread Man...these titles can still bring a smile to my face when I think of them. Childhood I suppose, has this magical ability to lighten our hearts and make us smile from inside out:) We were taught from young, that if people were good, kindhearted and selfless, even though there were obstacles, challenges and trials, we will ultimately find bliss in the end and live happily ever after, just like how our Cinderella did. In my opinion, our lives seem to stay stagnant at the chapter where the clock stroked twelve - no glass slipper, no prince, no happily ever after. I look at my parents, my father, who works so hard to give my sister and I an education; my mother, who tries to earn more and more money to buy things she want which occasionally are for us. I asked my father, what were your dreams. He said he didn't had a choice. He had to work, for a pay, he said. I look at them, and so many other typical adults and I wonder, will I ever turn out to be like that? Dreams, aspirations, Cinderella's dreams were fulfilled, will mine ever be? Newspapers seem to churn out stories of successful people, entrepreneurs, people of the arts, chefs, those who had achieved their dreams. But how many people never get what they want... Is this the result of fear, fear of risk, not daring enough to dream, peer pressure, society's expectations, family obligations, financial problems...so many issues we face when we talk about reality, a place devoid of fairy tales and fantasy, where an assured path to happiness never exists. I'm so pessimistic ain't I? haha.

Okay, looking on the bright side, if we were ever so daring to dream, and to put our dreams into reality, we can have a choice. I don't want to have to tell my children (if I would have any:)) that I didn't had a choice, simply because I didn't give myself the chance to choose. "If you work in a job you love, you never have to work a single day."

And so be it:) I will work hard and minimize any chances for regret. I will stay happy and love the people around me.

Mmmm...a blog is so much less private than a personal diary, something I used to keep before the millennium of technology. Just a random thought, would it be shocking or pleasantly surprising if I was to one day allowed to see all the visitors to my page? :)

Alright, update soon:) All the best in your career decisions!

On Wednesday 16th of June, there was a gathering of friends at Raffles City, City Hall. With smiles of enthusiasm and joy spread across their faces, the boys and girls decked out in similar costumes of white and blue scattered in pairs throughout the mall, each racking their brains for activities that will interest their honourable guest on that day.

The attendance was meticulously marked and each arrived pair was smacked on their butts rushed by Grandmother Nan to their assigned stations. Spirits were hidden in bags high and everyone was keyed up for the activity that was to come!

After what seemed like an eternity, the call of the millennium finally arrived! There was a moment of panic as everyone rushed into last minute preparations!

The honourable guest of the day finally strolled into Raffles City, innocently unaware of his impending doom the bundles of surprise awaiting him! He moved from station to station, magically gaining a year in age after sharing much enjoyment and laughter with the stationmasters. There were challenges and hurdles too, but with a lovely companion by his side, he was suddenly filled with strength and courage, as he braved the storms that were to come.

He tried on thousands of garments, tasted unusual words on his tongue, and even painted his face in blue and glazed his lips with (rose) pink!

The day seemed to rush to an end - the hours flew by as the honourable guest raced towards his eighteenth year.

The lovely companion arrived, breathless and blushing a lovely pink. "It is time!" she announced. Muggers in burger king The boys and girls tidied their brushes and parchments into sacks and slung them onto the back. With pennies came bread and drinks, which were packed into their sacks for dinner later on. And off they went, for the march towards the final destination!

Anticipation filled the air, in the magical garden that was all flowers and streams with their tiny waterfalls. A beautiful cake nestled in the hands of Grandmother Nan, which gave it tender loving care! Excited screams of "He's coming! He's coming!!!" caught everyone up into a frenzy!

The honourable guest appeared, accompanied (forever and ever) by his lovely companion! The boys and girls burst into song, with Master youngyee for accompaniment. Voices, high and low, old and young, blended into one as our present for our guest ascended towards the clouds!

He was made to cut the cake and then nanda beee cut the remaining cake and we all ate cake and then we all sat down and ate dinner then people started to leave and then I went home too! :D It was a really nice fun day and I was glad I got to see everyone! Miss you all! :)

We had a class dinner on Friday! It was quite nice. After the dinner at Burger King, we strolled down to the waterfront outside the esplanade and sat down for a talk. There was even a plan for a class chalet!!!! :D Hope it turns out successful!

Alex, Carolyn, Jolene and I went to study in SMU today. It was a productive Saturday! :)

Sigh...sharing giammie with mr loh is not very nice....*grumblesgrumbles. YOU ARE A LUCKY GUY.
