Je t'aime

Te amo

Ya ti-bya lyu blyu

Ani o hevet oth kha

I love you

The sounds are all as different

As the lands from which they came

And though our words are all unique

Our hearts are still the same

Love in any language

Straight from the heart

Pulls us all together

Never apart

And once we learn to speak it

All the world will hear

Love in any language

Fluently spoken here

We teach the young our differences

Yet look how we're the same

We love to laugh, to dream our dreams

We know the sting of pain

From Leningrad to Lexington

The farmer loves his land

And daddies all get misty-eyed

To give their daughter's hand

Oh maybe when we realize

Just how much there is to share

We'll find too much in common

To pretend it isn't there

Love in any language

Straight from the heart

Pulls us all together

Never apart

And once we learn to speak it

All the world will hear

Love in any language

Fluently spoken here

Though the rhetoric of government

May keep us worlds apart

There's no misinterpreting

The language of the heart

Love in any language

Straight from the heart

Pulls us all together

Never apart

And once we learn to speak it

All the world will hear

Love in any language

Fluently spoken here

Love in any language

Fluently spoken here(x5)

Passera

Le canzoni non si scrivono

Songs are not written

ma nascono da sé

but they are born by themselves

son le cose che succedono

they represent the things that happen

ogni giorno intorno a noi

everyday around us

le canzoni basta coglierle

songs, it's enough to catch them

ce n'e' una anche per te

there is one also for you

che fai più fatica a vivere

that have also difficulty in living

e non sorridi mai.

and you never smile.

le canzoni sono zingare

e rubano poesie

songs are gipsy and steal poetry

sono inganni come pillole

they are deceptions like

della felicità

the so called "happiness pills"

le canzoni non guariscono

amori e malattie

songs never cure love or illness

ma quel piccolo dolore

but that little pain that give us

che l'esistere ci da'

the certainty we exist

passerà, passerà

it will pass, it will pass

se un ragazzo e una chitarra sono li

if a boy and a guitar are there

come te, in città

like you, in the city

a guardare questa vita che non va

looking at this life which does not work

che ci ammazza d'illusioni

that kills us with illusions

e con l'età delle canzoni

and with the age of songs

passerà su di noi

it will pass over us

finiremo tutti in banca prima o poi

we'll go to the bank sooner or later

coi perché, i chissà

with our "why" and "who knows"

e le angosce di una ricca povertà

and the anxiety of an extreme poverty

a parlare degli amori che non hai

talking about the lovers you don't have

a cantare una canzone che non sai come fa

singing a song that you don't know

perché l'hai perduta dentro

because you lost it inside

e ti ricordi solamente

and you remember only

passerà ...

it will pass...

in un mondo di automobili

in a world of cars

e di gran velocità

and high speed

per chi arriva sempre ultimo

for the ones who arrive always last

per chi si dice addio

for the ones who say good bye

per chi sbatte negli ostacoli

for the ones who bump against

della diversità

the obstacles of diversity

le canzoni sono lucciole

songs are fireflies

che cantano nel buio

that sing in the dark

passerà prima o poi

it will pass sooner or later

questo piccolo dolore che c'e' in te

this little pain inside of you

che c'e' in me, che c'e' in noi

inside of me, inside of us

e ci fa sentire come marinai

that make us feel like sailors

in balia del vento e della nostalgia

at the mercy of wind and nostalgia

a cantare una canzone che non sai

singing a song that you don't know

come fa ma quel piccolo dolore

but that little pain

che sia odio, o che sia amore

be it hate or be it love

passerà

it will pass,

passerà, passerà

pass, pass

anche se farai soltanto la la la

even if you'll sing just "la la la"

passerà, passerà

it will pass, it will pass

e a qualcosa una canzone servirà

and a song will be useful for something

se il tuo piccolo dolore

if your little pain

che sia odio o che sia amore

be it hate or be it love...

passerà

will pass

The A'levels may seem to be an infallible obstacle, but it too, will pass. JIAYOU my friends!

Losing my laptop made me lose all the GMHs i have accumulated since January. ):

And yeah, i realised how many secrets i actually kept in that little purple thing ):

Ah well. On to happier things! Its finally the June holidays! Been looking forward to this break for a really long time. Though we're supposed to take it to study, well. At least we don't have to wake up ridiculously early, right?

I will mug hard for this years JCTs. HARDER THAN I HAVE EVER MUGGED BEFORE. cause i really want to do well. And i really want to prove to myself [and whoever else] that i am a TALENTED young individual. Whoooosh! Really going to need God's strength to get me through the rest of the year. Many many many many many things are popping up out of nowhere, and i'm not sure i know how to deal with it all. But yeah. My focus should still be studying, cause that's what a student ought to do (:

JIAYOU everyone, for everything to come!

Thank you,

'cause you go beyond the call of duty; you go beyond just being a friend.

You're the friend who is willing to step out of your own comfort zone, to go out of your way to help others, to make them happy. You're the friend who is willing to make sacrifices, as long as someone else will benefit from it. You're the friend who is genuinely concerned about your friends, no matter who they are. You're the friend who never says anything bad about anyone else, not even in a joke, and don't mind even when people joke about you. You're the friend who stands by people, being a form of comfort, a source of advice, a reassurance. You're the friend who is patient, willing to spend time with people - even till late at night, just listening. You're the friend who is honest, yet kind with the truth.

& I appreciate you. <3

"Sometimes things have to change, and maybe sometimes they're for the better."
~Nani [from Lilo and Stitch]

And indeed, things are changing around here. I just certainly hope they ARE for the better.

2010-03-26T16:55:00.002+08:00

Life's been so happening, and i've hardly been able to find the time to get back here and do a nice post. But hey, the March Common Tests are finally over, and i get a short while to stop and relax a while before we head back into full swing of preparing for the A levels.

Since my last post, which was eons ago, lots of things have happened!

Well first off, we started our J2 year... Stress began to flood in and become a natural part of our lives. Everyone started panicking and being so much more serious about schoolwork, and that took a toll on CG 14/09's class outings. But hey, we're still an awesome bonded class and i still love all of my classmates! (: One huge difference i felt here was the start of being, well, lonely. Having dropped Economics to H1, i had to attend separate lectures and tutorials from the rest of my class ): But yeah, now i'm much more used to it already!

Then, the J1s started school, which meant ORIENTATION! This year i got to take part in orientation as an OGL! It's an entirely different experience altogether and i liked it. [oh, and i can also pretend to be popular when i wave at lotsa people as i walk around the school compound!] I've made lotsa new friends, with other OGLs as well as my awesome OG 14 OGMs! Though it got me a little pushed back when it came to schoolwork, it gave me confidence, which i think i totally do need.

Short while after, the J1s got to choose their PDPs, which meant, new band juniors! Unfortunately my section has no J1s ): but yeah, i made friends with juniors from other sections! They've just embarked on their stageband journey, and i'm kinda excited for them! My band life has also become more happening as i forge closer friendships with my batchmates (: I guess it's more of because 3 of our DSAs were from TKG and it helped me to bond with everyone else. We've been out studying together, going for concerts together, and we've even watched a movie as a big group!

When we hit the end of term 1, it meant studying really hard for the MCTs. Thankfully i had awesome friends to study with and help me to pull through.

And yeah, for the past four days, we've been having the March Common Tests. It's been tough, but at least its over now. I hope my results won't be all that bad.

Ah well, i'm just about to head out of the house to watch VJCSB's concert! Its been a long time since i last saw my VJ friends, and yeah, i guess today would be a good opportunity.

See you around, and i wont promise it'd be soon.

<3,
ting.

2010-01-12T18:42:00.000+08:00

Cause sometimes it just hurts so bad, you cant even feel it anymore.

2009-12-28T21:14:00.002+08:00

yet another month has passed since my last post... i feel really bad! ):

but hey this year, has been really really awesome. and one blog post simply wont be able to hold it all. ive finally started fitting in in CBC. people getting to know me for who i am. and not just as one of the 5 kids. oh, and realising that im actually seventeen, not fourteen. i feel a whole lot closer to God, especially cause now im facing so many more problems, and i need to turn to God a whole lot more.!

being that close to getting retained in junior college really gave me a huge scare, and a huge push. junior college isnt going to be easy, especially with A levels round the corner. but hey, i've the awesome classmates who'll be more than happy to lend me a hand, even though i've messed up their timetable ):

this year, 2009, has really been wonderful. ive finally managed to push things from my memory, and they wont be coming back to haunt me anytime soon. i've overcome the stupidest phobia i've ever had, i've made tons of new friends, i'm in the awesomest class ever, i've had so many new experiences - whether good or bad. and everything has helped to shape me, to become what i am today.

i'm learning so much more about what it really is to live, love and laugh.

and i really really really need to thank all the people who've helped me along the way. i should be more personal in this, so it wont be coming up here. check your emails, alright? (: perhaps i should start composing now so that it wont be too much of a rush when the new year comes in.

anyway, here's wishing one and all a really happy new year! 2010 is going to be full of surprises, im sure. it'll fly by just the way 2009 did... treasure every moment you have with the people around you. (:

<3.

2009-11-26T21:28:00.001+08:00

sigh. life's been moving so fast i haven't had the time to come back here and post.

well, we've been practicing really really hard for Fiesta Voyage (: TJband's annual year end concert. this year its on 11th dec, 1930hrs. it's only $8 and held in tjc auditorium. get tickets from me if you're interested to go watch kay. come support me :D i have a few solos and i am VERY freaked...

things have been going fine, i guess. this year has really flown past and i'm getting extremely worried for next year, especially cause i'm going to be the only one from my class in the H1 economics class. ):

i guess i used to be much more daring in the stuff i wrote on my blog. but haha, things change, right? i've already run out of things to type. ah well, till next time.

2009-09-11T12:47:00.003+08:00

after a really long break, i've decided to make a comeback.

been thinking lots recently. a really big THANKYOU to whoever has been there to hear me out. <3

i guess all those years thinking that i wasn't me and was in fact someone else, was just me lying to myself. me not being able to believe that i was that kind of person. me, in denial.

but its alright, cause now i've found myself. i'm me, no matter who i may appear to be. yup. so i'm going to live my life that way. and i don't have to impress anyone. i just have to be me. (:

on a completely different note, i now have a netbook! which is something like a laptop, only its smaller. and slower, i think. but its alright cause its pretty and purple. barney purple. i love it so much! hahah.

i just finished packing my horrible mess of a table, and will continue to study later, while listening to music off this pretty purple thing. (: yay, it actually feels good blogging again! (: i hope this doesnt die off again soon.

lunch time!

2009-08-15T21:30:00.003+08:00

i realised i havent posted here for about a month already, so im BACK for an update!

schools been getting hectic. teachers all getting frustrated with us already! ): but band makes it all better. its still a good destress for me, yknow. squeeeeeezing all that air through that tiny opening. hahah. theres still much to learn! nikki is a good teacher (:

i hope i'll be able to keep learning even when we break for promos. cause cause cause i want to be a good oboist (: hahah. though there really isnt a point cause i probably will never be rich enough to buy an oboe and i'll probably end up stopping oboe after JC... but then again, you never know when knowledge of an instrument can come in handy. who knows, maybe my kids will join band. (:

hahah. and yup. i love CG 14/09 and ive been getting to love them more and more as we learn more about each other. and my prayer for the class is that we'll all move up to jc2 as this truly awesome class. 20 girls + 5 guys = 1 big happy family.

jiayous peeps. the promos are coming soon. we can get our straight Cs [and better!] so that we'll keep our very amazing timetable.

together.

<3.

2009-07-15T20:30:00.003+08:00

i feel crushed.

but i'll get over it. JCTs are just. ten percent. so what if i got straight 'U's.

who am i kidding. im just too stupid!

why am i even blogging now. i ought to go study.

2009-07-10T20:12:00.002+08:00

life has been eventful. but i like it just the way it is.

but i have to remind myself now more than ever, that i need to leave everything in the hands of God. trust Him to bring me through everything.

and even when i get hurt, i need to learn how to ~~be stronger~~ draw strength from Him. to ~~pick myself up after every fall~~ trust Him to carry me through. to not be so emotionally dependent on people but to be dependent on God.

yup. i still have much to learn.

2009-07-07T21:14:00.003+08:00

sometimes i dont understand why it is that you tell me all these things...

and im just about as confused as you are...

im sorry i cant help you. sorry i cant be a better friend.

and im sorry the only thing i know how to say... is sorry.

2009-07-05T23:08:00.002+08:00

a really big THANKYOU to everyone who was especially nice to me today.

THANK YOU CG14/09 for the class bbq yesterday, which lasted till today. and for spending with me the first hour or so of today (:

THANK YOU 92'ers of CBC! for the really loud birthday song that made me feel really really embarassed. (: but yeah, its the thought that counts right (:

THANK YOU my dearest family for staying up and waiting for me to come home, and also for the awesome dinner and dessert.

THANK YOU all the people who dropped me messages, whether through my phone or on facebook. its made me feel really loved. (:

and most importantly THANK YOU God, for creating me. and for the past seventeen years you've blessed me with.

2009-07-03T23:16:00.003+08:00

i remember a long time ago, when i cleared out my cupboard and managed to tear away from the sentimental value of it all, threw away a heap of stuff, and i said i wanted to start 2009 on a fresh sheet.

i did, indeed, start 2009 on a fresh sheet. new school, new environment, new friends. and im so glad im where i am now.

so much has passed from the beginning of the year, and yet it still seems like its been just recently that 2009 started... its quite hard to imagine that 2009 is actually already more than half over.

i really love my new class. cause they're a bunch of really special people.

of course, everyone is special, but CG 14/09 is really one of a kind. and i really love how we were brought together in this class (:

and i hope we'll move on as this same 25 of us, this same one class. to j2, to alevels. to graduation.

so to those who are discouraged by the JCTs, please dont be! believe in yourself, the way i believe in you.

i love you all so much. (:

2009-07-03T22:35:00.003+08:00

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence,
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing Hallelujah,
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine

the awesomeness of God (:

2009-06-19T22:15:00.002+08:00

i've just returned from YOUTH CAMP! (:

it was such a wonderful first experience, really! cause like when i went there, i didn't know half the people there. but now, oh yes, its completely different! i know people. and people know me (: hahah and even though Mitchell thought i was a sec two, and someone else thought i was sec one and i have major identity crisises everywhere, it feels nice being accepted.

it was a really cool time bonding with not-so-new friends, and making new friends, as well as spending much much more quality time with God. thinking about the end times...

it was physically challenging, walking / running / struggling my way up the really steep slopes of the hill we stayed on. oh and the flipping bowls game which killed my thigh muscles and the whole brotherly/sisterly sacrificial love thing, where i actually agreed to doing a hundred pushups [how mad was i...?] just so the guys wouldn't have to do a hundred pushups.

it was mentally challenging, playing games like rubiks' cube BLINDFOLDED [oh but we rocked at that cause we had paul (moo)! :D] and the math that made me so depressed and feel stupid, the thinking for discussions, strategising during games, and straining our mental limits to decipher the timetable...

and most importantly, it was spiritually challenging. well yes it hit me really hard. like the end can come any moment. who knows! it could even come before i even finish this post.

what if this moment was the end.? what if Jesus' second coming was now.? would i be ready to face Him? would i be able to face the judgment? i'm not really sure. but i do know for a fact, i need to help my friends - the wonderful people around me, who need to hear the truth. and i have to be the one to tell them. i can't rely on others for the rest of my life [no matter how long, or short] i am responsible, being placed where i am by God's will, to reach out to my friends in whatever way God wills me to.

but even with all the challenges, there were refreshing points. in the workshop i attended, it was so awesome. you know, comparing us with creation. creation of not just the earth and all that is in it, but also everything beyond the earth. our universe, the other universes, the stars... if you even looked at the sizes of everything, how small we are. it just WOWs you, you know. that even though God is so massively big compared to us, he still cares about us. i mean. we dont even care about ants, now think of something a million times smaller than that... and try caring for it.

and all the more awesome, were the moments we could just stand in the field, and in the darkness of the night, look up at the sky... and see the huge number of stars scattered all around. theres nowhere in singapore where you can enjoy the stars that way. it was like. so awesome. the more you looked, the more stars appeared. and every star was placed in the sky in its specific location, by God.

it was really really really really really awesome.

and i really want to thank God for everyone who made this youth camp possible. God himself, for being there in everything, guiding the people in charge, and putting everything in just the right place. the camp committee, the people at el sanctuary, the worship leaders and their teams, the theme talk speaker, the workshop speakers, the dgls, people who were around to help, and the people who attended. it made my first youth camp experience truly enjoyable and, yes, AWESOME.

SARDIS IS THE LOVE :D "Sardis, sa, sa, sardis. SA!"

2009-06-10T20:37:00.003+08:00

its a week and a half into the june holidays...

and ive had an awesome time!

thanks so much, CG 14/09 and TJband :D its been really awesome making friends with all of you!

MONDAY!
started off with a nice breakfast at macs with my awesome classmates, then slowly walked over to school [and were late] for bio lecture. had a quick discussion after, and then headed home.

TUESDAY!
met classmates at marine parade. had lunch at mos burger [at parkway], then split into half. one half went back to ariel's house to make chickenpie, and the other half went to play pool. hahah. i totally malu-ated myself at pool cause im so lousy at it. but wangrui and wenkai and amanda are totally awesome at pool. walked over to ariel's house where we watched strange shows and played card games. and when the time was right, we went down to start the BBQ! (: oh and we played with purple hairspray too. (: the food was great, and the company was greater. stayed at ariel's place till very very VERY late. but it was a really nice time talking to all my wonderful classmates (:

WEDNESDAY!
slept the whole day. not much to say :D

THURSDAY!
went to school for econs lecture- some of my classmates went for kbox, but yeah i didnt go. :D stayed for DSA audits cause my juniors told me they were turning up, but yeah. they didnt, so i basically wasted my time there. oh but on the bright side i heard this really awesome bassoonist from chungcheng!

FRIDAY!
went to school in the afternoon for the DSA audits cause i heard some TKG people were going. didnt expect to see the place flooded with that familiar shade of green. it was nice seeing my darling juniors again.! had dinner, then rushed over to CJ for Blithe Spirit. it was a really awesome play! and i got to see RAVLEEEEEEEN! gosh i missed her so much.

SATURDAY!
yet another class outing :D had dinner at eighteen chefs at simei. my CG and their addiction to cheese. hahah. went over to pasirris there to walk randomly around and play abit of captains ball with a super light ball that we couldnt catch. went home with a bunch while the rest went to play pool.

SUNDAY!
church :D

and now its time to sober up and hit the books. or rather, lecture notes. i simply must do well for JCTs, or i can just rot away.

2009-05-26T21:19:00.002+08:00

its been a really hectic term. what with SYF, Prelude 29, PI, and GPP, all having clashing deadlines. it all built up to busyness to the max, and a super huge lack of sleep. it all came crashing down on thursday, TWO DAYS BEFORE CONCERT, when i fell super sick.

anyway i really want to thank all my darling classmates and bandmates! cause they cared so much about me and everything. it meant so much to me! so yes. thank you all so very much for all the concern! especially liyin. hahah for nagging me oh-so-much. and gina who made sure i went home.

and now that all the mess is over. and school is coming to a close for the JUNEHOLS [or as that teacher said, "your study break, also known as the holidays"] i have to now concentrate more on my STUDIES! cause i cannot afford to flunk my JCTs.

so JIAYOUS to everyone! we'll do awesomely and do ourselves, and our tutors proud.

always remember, ting loves you! (:

2009-05-05T21:42:00.002+08:00

in the words of a friend,

tomorrow's dday, and i hope im ready.

EXTREMEMAKEOVERTURENO.2 WILL BE THE MOUNT EVEREST WE CONQUERED (:

it'll be the mount everest we conquered together, as a band. as TJCSB (:

GO TJCSB!

2009-04-16T03:56:00.002+08:00

hahah isnt this amazing. im actually updating my blog again. hahah (:

its been a really busy time for me. like just look at the time of this update!

today i think im not going to sleep. cause i dont feel tired at all.

its getting scary. the thought of SYF being so close...

and the thought of the concert.

and its SO SAD, that our concert is on the same day as VJ's. which means i dont get to watch laura. ):

but at least i'll see her on saturday at the exchange.

band camp this weekend! excited and scared at the same time. its gonna be a whole lotta practise! what if my lungs deflate or something- scaryyy.

and ive just got so many things to do at the same time- sigh. i hope i dont have to stay up through the night ever again.

hahah yup. i guess thats it. love you all loadds!

2009-04-04T22:04:00.002+08:00

even though as the days pass i keep repeatedly telling myself "this is really something worth blogging" i never really got down to it!

if i remember right, i was reminiscing the time when i was... like really really really young. cause some kids were racing up the pyramid-like playground thingy below my house, and then when they reached the top, one of them yelled "YAY! TWO WINNERS"

it kinda made me think. how often in life we can never take second place. we always have to be the first. even if we have to share that first place with someone else. hahah. but its nice seeing and experiencing the childlike innocence lah. like the moment, it was so wonderful.

and then, i really really really want to congratulate my darling TKGSSB juniors cause they achieved the GWH! :D

and then. um. i cant remember what else i wanted to blog about.

so maybe i'll just skip along to yesterday! yesterday after school-ish was the sports meet thingy. and i was being a good girl and dint pon. (: so after a while we sorta sianned out cause when you're at the back you cant really see the other side of the track... so i started like doing homework. hahah. then someone told wangrui that if she went to take a ball we'll all go down and play some kind of game at the netball court, and who knew, she REALLY went to take it! so we had this awesome time of class bonding while playing captains ball. hahah. stuff i learnt, guys throw balls SUPER far, SUPER fast and SUPER high. and then it doesnt become a group game anymore. hahah. but it was interesting lah. and no one kept score, as usual. hahah. :D i had a great time with CG 14/09 (: and im looking forward to more wonderful memories to be made with my awesome class.

today had band prac in the morning! nice to finally be able to hear oboes in the regular recordings of extreme makeover that we take. hahah. had a small emotional breakdown during lunchbreak, but i really really appreciate my really awesome bandmates for being there for me :D so THANKYOU!

hahah. i guess thats it for my update. i think my blog is getting boring eh?

2009-03-30T17:51:00.006+08:00

so week one of school is over and im totally lagging behind in updating my blog. so yup i'm here to update! hahah.

schools been fine, as usual. the holidays dint give me rest though. in fact, im actually starting to find myself struggling to stay awake during lectures/tutorials. thankyou LIYIN for bringing those awesome sweets that made me high. :D totally would have just fallen asleep and missed out important points if you dint help me sugar rush- (:

hahah. on THURSDAY, some really cool stuff happened to me. like, check it out.
so the first ones the pinkish purple one, where its that smiley and ting hearts liyin. then the red ting hearts lee chuang more (= and then... cause theres no more space on my hand, they move to...
my ARM. where ting hearts brenda the most! and ting hearts amanda like totally! (: and you can imagine what my arm looked like right?
yup. and washing it off was so painful. like my whole arm turned red. hahah.

and friday was just pure excitement. we had our MARCH REUNION! (: now im really hyped up and ready for the next one cause i miss all my TKG friends! we had heaps of fun eating and talking and laughing and making alot alot alot of noise! hahah. but i think it felt really great, you know, talking to all my friends again, taking a million pictures- yeah. brings back memories eh? the whole 'everyones a girl' atmosphere. i really do miss it!

hahah. but yup. life still goes on. and ive made many new friends in temasek. (: and life rocks.

love you all heaps! (:

2009-03-20T15:19:00.003+08:00

and so we come to the end of the so-called march holidays.

Monday - back to school!
hahah yup. econs lecture and bio spa. i forgot what i did after that.

Tuesday - back to school, again!
math tutorial in the morning, and then combined sectionals which was pretty weird cause it was only j1s. and yeah. my reed died on me ): but i think i'm finally getting the hang of extreme makeover, and apart from the fact that i had to keep stopping and adjusting my stupid reed, it was fun. (: after that i met up with a bunch of people from my amazing CG - CG14/09 to go east coast for cycling! hahah. i totally picked the wrong attire cause i was like in full school uniform and all... but it was still fun. hahah. and the weather was so wonderful (: had dinner after that at parkway parade's pastamania. [hahah. i forgot what my lit friend told me this was called.] saw claire and edna there!

Wednesday- need i say more?
band prac! my reed was still being horrible, so i borrowed charlene's. after a bit of adjustment it was fine to use. hahah. we had 3 long hours of sectionals! but it helped us tune better and stuff. went for lunch, then came back for combined and then after band we had to decide if we should do stageband this year. and obviously, the answer became yes, do it! hahah. so we went to some music room to watch the '08 and '07 stage band performances so that we get a rough idea, and then we discussed some stuff about it! (: i think stage band is gonna be so awesome.

Thursday
hahah. finally i dint have to go back to school. (: attempted to sleep in, but totally failed cause of random stuff which woke me up. then left the house to studyyy. completely failed in that too, so i had a completely unproductive day. went out for dinner with my parents [cause my siblings went to my sister's boyfriend's house to play guitar hero and have BBQ dinner.] and we ate chicken. and porridge. yummmyyyy (: after that came home to continue stressing over the bio project.

Friday
left the house for cityhall for stageband discussion! hahah. we were pretty much productive cause we managed to come up with a basic storyline in under 2hours. (: went for lunch at marina square after that, and then windworks to get reeeeeds [remind me never to go there again...] and then uh. walked back in the raaaainnn and bathed and now im here, writing our awesome script. (: haha i should totally be doing the bio thing now lah. but i'm taking a break. hahah.

and so yup. thats it for my quick update.

IM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT FRIDAY!

2009-03-16T14:36:00.003+08:00

cause OG13 is so AWESOME!

so yesterday!

there were 12 of us from OG 13 there. kinda sad. but at least theres some attempt at a gathering yeah? hahah. 6 guys and 6 girls. we went to marina square's billy bombers for dinner. hahah. but sadly the food there wasnt halal, so iman couldnt eat. so i dint eat either and we had cheap macs dinner when they were done. we talked about super random stuff! and i reached home really really late. hahah.

and im hungry again. so i shall go get something to eat, and then think bout lysosomes.

seeya!

2009-03-14T22:41:00.002+08:00

THE MARCH HOLS ARE HERE!

though they aint much of a holiday.

hahah. they just shouldnt have given us the whole go off at 10am thing on monday. cause we had to have makeup lessons for all of the lessons we missed anyway. i'd rather enjoy my holiday monday than have that waste time go to school for two lessons monday that time lorh.

hm. i think im ranting in sentences that cannot be understood. hahah.

saturdays are always so nice. hahah. but this saturday was different from other saturdays. ):

OH AND IT JUST BECAME BETTER!

2009-03-13T22:04:00.001+08:00

so recently i've been doing personality tests and stuff just for the fun of it, and heres what came out! (: i find most of it kinda true. but i guess thats how they always phrase personality test outcomes. cause it makes people think its accurate. hahah.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

2009-03-12T21:30:00.003+08:00

HELLO! (:

hahah. i know my blog is dying.

but i seriously dont know what to post.

i think my life is super boring lah

hahah. but thats beside the point.

what is my point anyway!

4e6'08 peeps, please DO DO DO come for our class gathering. i understand that it may be a little awkward for us cause we're all in different schools and all, but i really really hope that we'll be able to like see each other as a class again! cause i really really miss youalls a LOT. from seeing you almost everyday, to like... never? its just really really sad. and we can totally talk bout our TKGS teachers cause i still think they're amazing.

till then, enjoy your march holidays! :D not much of one for me, but still! hahah. and all the best keeping nice and awake during lectures and completing tutorial work! (: LOVE YOU ALL!

shalom,
Ting.

2009-03-09T12:17:00.002+08:00

congratulations to our very wonderful seniors. (:

we were released from school at 10am today. hahah. so effectively i spent the same amount of time traveling to school and back as i did in school itself.

hahah i guess i'm losing the drive to blog- cant seem to find anything worth blogging about.

oh. yeah. okay maybe i'll talk bout band. so we're playing this really sick piece called extreme makeover. hahah. we're gonna be like tested on it i think, mid-march. i hope i play well enough to get into SYF! really do want to make a contribution.

and i'm still considering joining house comm... though i'm not sure if i'll be able to balance all that with school and band and everything else. someone come help me solve my dilemma yah!

OH, and did i mention before, i'm a CARE rep. hahah.

and yeah. i think the math test last week went fine. apart from the fact i was almost completely lost while doing the geometric progression question. never struggled so much with math before- it must be a SIGN. hahah. i better work harder if i want to do well.

oh and my sister got back her alevel results. don't really know if she thinks she did well. but i guess its a message to me lah. cause i've been slacking off and all that recently. a timely reminder to buck up and maybe start jogging in my marathon-

chem and econs lecture tests on wednesday, wish me all the best! (:

and yup i think thats it. have a great week ahead, everyone! (:

2009-03-01T21:14:00.002+08:00

okay. so its the first day of march today! (: a new month, and hopefully, a better month.

i guess i don't really have much to update cause my life hasn't been all that interesting since school proper started.

hahah. but yeah, i love TJ (: though i think i'd rather be holidaying still, like those waiting to go poly. yes, i do think i should have gone to poly instead. the stress level is way too high. i cant function properly. you know. like optimum level of stress? i'm gonna become "denatured" hahah. like crazy denatured.

we've got a math tutorial test tomorrow. i think im gonna have problems remembering trigo stuff from secondary school. olevels just seem to be... so far behind me-

hahah. ohwell! i really hope the stress levels arent going to go any higher than what it is now. too many people around me are starting to crack under the pressure, and im not sure how much longer i myself can hold up.

just wanted to let anyone who reads know, im praying for all of you yeah? feel free to tag prayer requests on my tagboard. TING WANTS TO BE A PRAYER SUPPORTER FOR ALL OF YOU!

yupps. i guess thats it.

with much love,
ting (:

2009-02-24T20:26:00.003+08:00

hahah so. schools been getting more and more action packed.

well, mugging action, that is.

and yup. i officially CANNOT do SPA. bio spa yesterday and chem spa today were just such HORRIBLE experiences.

oh and todays mass pe was so tiring! also plus the fact i was in a horrible state- and i dint manage to complete the whole thing. ): but the teacher is nice lah. he let me stop.

AND, i think im finally getting the hang of extreme makeover! (: cause at least today i could play when the tempo was slowedd. AND MY TONGUE ISNT THAT RETARDED AFTERALL! :P

yup. hahah i think i like band (: no. i KNOW i LOVE band :D

oh and im crazy too. ask liyin. hahah.

2009-02-21T21:32:00.003+08:00

seeing the last time i posted was like a week ago, i have decided to come back and post up like a more recent one :D

schools getting busier, but i guess its a natural thing. im in band! and still playing the oboe (:

extreme makeover is still as extreme, and i still cant play it. but i guess with more practice i'll get better! [my tongue is retarded, really really retarded.] yup.

hm. okay. i dont know what else to post. sigh, im out of blogging practice! soon enough this blog will just dieee.

i miss all my TKG friends [who are not in TJ] ALOT ALOT ALOT!

so we must have like regular reunions. DEAL? now im off to the class blog to post (:

2009-02-15T21:04:00.002+08:00

HELLO EVERYBODY!

please ask me out on study dates. (: hahah.

i totally need to study more. and being at home just reduces my study mood.

hahah. okay i better go cause my mum has been nagging at me.

have fun with school! (:

and happy total defence day. hahah. i think that was so utterly random.

2009-02-14T16:26:00.002+08:00

so its been a week of lectures and stuff. (:

i think i'm adapting to being back in school just finee (:

but i still feel i'll have the lack-of-time problem.

went for band today! played extreme make-over. finally i find myself catching up. hahah. i still cant double tongue, or play the horribly scary running notes, but at least i can play the triplets (: that's only when the conducting is much much slower than actual speed though.

hahah and yup. im still an oboist, for now.

okay. i think thats it for now. have to leave the house again soon [see what i mean by lack of time?]

2009-02-07T14:27:00.002+08:00

realised i havent been online/updating my blog. hahah

ORIENTATION DAY 3!

reached school really really early and was sleepy in the morning while the teachers were giving their talks and stuff. we have to submit stuff into our own portfolio! and then there was this library talk and some time magazine talk or something like that, but i sorta spaced out. whoops- then we had the orientation video,

and then it started getting fun! (:

started with mass dance. this dance... was soooooo hard okay! cause its like must kick and jump and handaction and everything all happens at the same time. and we keep turning around so you cant just keep staring at the same person to remember the actions? hahah. so half the time i cant even dance lah. hahah. after cheering like maddddd we went for mass games.

first game was painful. hahah. we paired up and tied our legs like threelegged race kind, then we hop around and try to grab rafia strings that are stuck to the backs of members of the other clan. [Zandor] um, i think we lost. hahah. but it was fun lah. next game was painful as well... cause it was like we have to stand on three canteen benches arranging ourselves according to school [in alphabetical order] and then squeeze onto two benches while the OGLs move the last bench to the front, then we squeeze again and it goes on till we pass a certain line. lost again, i think. third game was... umm. wet. cause like the first person has to wet a towel or something, then fling it to our own clan members and get the water to the back where the last person squeezes the water out and collects it. and then it was super weird cause the towels just flew over my head lah. hahah. last game was DIRTY. hahah. some sit on the flour thing. like we have to bounce[?] on every chair which has flour all over it, and then we reach the person from the other clan and scissorspaperstone, then like the winner goes on and the loser goes back. hahah. so my butt hurted. heeeeh. i think my OG finally won this one.

anyway, we had lunch and it RAINED while we were at the hawkercentre opposite school. so when we reached school again we changed. and then had OG bonding/performance practice time. so we came up with our ideas and stuff, then we were dismissed for the "PDP exhibition" and i couldnt find the band anywhere. hahah. so i went to buy TJ uniform. [shall not comment on this.] and then at around 5 i went back to the under the dance hall place to collect back ezlink card and played polarbear as an OG. [i think? everythings mixing up. hahah] and then we were dismissed.

ORIENTATION DAY FOUR!

reported in the hall this time, and then had some mass pe talk. but the guy actually dint talk much about mass pe, it was more of his life? and i was too sleepy to remember anything else. hahah.

after a few more PDP videos and THE ORIENTATION VIDEO, we went for mass games. this was to complete the other four games which we didnt do on day three. so there was... um. some football thing, but we're connected with bamboo poles and have to stay on a certain line... and then we started our winning streak (: then next was this. um. blowing thing. like we have to blow the pingpong ball into the goal area, and won AGAIN! (: and then was... this sponge game. hahah. we had to grab a sponge from a soapy tub and run back [like dogandbone] based on numbers, colours, words and stuff. won yet again (: hahah. and then the last game was simply DISGUSTING. cause we had to run 5rounds around a cone, then dip our faces in water, and then try to get a mentos out of the flour... so you can imagine, the flour touches the water and sticks to your face and everything... it was sooooo gross. and i could taste the flour in my mouth ew. but we still won. (: so it was our WINNING STREAK day! (: hahah. cause we beat verelda's OGs every single game (:

oh and we had mass dance practice. COUPLE DANCE ): i was paired up with a guy at first, but i refused to touch him. so the senior switched with me. i feel kinda bad for like not dancing with him, but i was really really really scared of him. i guess this is what being in a girls school does to you eh? man, i better get over this stupid phobia fast.

ate canteen food for the first time during lunch. its really not as bad as the seniors make it out to be. hahah. and then we went to underthedancehall to practise/runthrough our skit [for O-nite] and then went to LT1 for the audition [cause only one OG represents each clan] after that we were briefed on the mass dance thing, and then went to suntec! our OGLs ordered pizza for us, so we sat there and waited for the food to come and bonded even more. (: and then mass dance started. hahah. evidently, during couple dance no one really danced properly. hahah. we all liked speedy the most cause it was simple and fun! so we danced and cheered like madpeople [or as Theen put it, followed after him like he was our father] and finally went home.

ORIENTATION DAY FIVE!

last day of orientation ):

we had BATTLEOFTHETITANS. [and XCION was sitting under the hothot sun...] so the first game was like we have to use this long rafia string and move a bucket of marbles out of a huge circle. and we sorta spilled the marbles into the drain... and the stationmasters had to go into the drain to pick them up... felt really really bad. then when we retried we did it in 44seconds (:

next game was like we had our legs all tied together and had to pick up cups with our mouths and pass the balls in the cups to one side [using hands!] and then put the cup back. um. and then was this stand on the mat and flip it over thing? hahah. it was so weird lah. like standing so close and everything.

and then we found out that OG13 was REPRESENTING XCION. for the semifinal game. it was SO TIRING and so SUNNY and i got SUNBURNT cause of it okay! anyway. wasnt much of a good experience, cause playing fair caused us to lose. and this PERSON actually threw a ball and hit my face ):

uh. after that was lunch [our OGLs treated us to bubbletea, which was superduper sweet and caused me to go on another sugar high.] and then we just sat around and waited to go up to the hall. changed into full black and it was super HOT.

AND THEN IGNITE THE INFINIGHT! it was sooooooooo cool. everyone was so hyped up and everything. and we found out that XCION WON! (: so XCION TOTALLY ROCKS.

hahah i dont think i want to elaborate on the rest of INFINIGHT. it was just really cool and all. the cheering, the performances. it was really fun (: yup. and then we had a last OG meeting when they gave out pictures and this really cool personalised card thing. hahah.

yup. so that was my first week at TJ. (:

2009-02-03T20:06:00.002+08:00

XCION ROCKS!

and OG13A ROCKS MORE!

YAY! OH AND I CAN DO THE NEW MASS DANCE! CAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO COORDINATE MY ARMS AND LEGS TOGETHER THAT MUCH!

today i drank coke together with my macdonald's lunch. and then i went high. and brought a few people along with me (: and yay i have new friends! they're really different from my old friends, but it still feels great, you know, having friends around. makes me miss wonderful people like laura and ravleen though-

hahah. anyway, i should start again from the beginning. woke up bright and early! cause i thought need to be in school at 0700, but the auditorium doors dint open till like... 0725 i think. so anyway. i met sheree at aljunied and cause she was meeting zhiyin on the train i saw her too! got off at bedok while they continued their journey to MJ. met yingtai at bedok and followed him [but amazingly, it wasnt all that stalker-ish. it was more like walking with a friend...] and went to school. tapped the ezlink card at that machine thingy [i think it hates me. i had to take my ezlink card out, but yisze dint! ): ]

then walked around abit, found nicoleyap, yihui and elain, waited abit, met lianping and gang, walked over to audi, met TK gang. i seriously think we looked so gang. but the victoria guys were worse lah. hahah. sitting all at one table then like so gang-ish. then the audi opened and i climbed upstairs to XCION TERRITORY. hahah. i seriously think Xcion ROCKS. (:

anyway. we had cheering and stuff, then some talks by teachers and more cca promotion. [hahah i know its pdp, but cca sounds so much better] i think the taekwando people are SO COOL. like that girl was so super small and she slammed that HUGE TALL guy! i want to be like that. hahahah. i think i like kicking butt. [yeah, yeah, we're gonna kick some butts now! THEIR BUTTS, THEIR BUTTS, THEIR BUTTS, HA! HA! HA! WHOOOOOOOOSH!]

so anyway, after all the talks and stuff we headed out for our AMAZING RACE. or rather, chronorace. first stop, SMU. so we had to do the paperplate thing? the hold hands and try to complete the whole thing... the seniors actually wanted guys and girls to mix, but our OGLs were nice and stood up for us, thankfully (: so we cheered ALOT ALOT and prolly annoyed the SMU people, but whocares :P so we collected our GLORYPOINTS + the extras for doing the 35-40 part with 10 people, and proceeded to the next place, which was singpost. did alot more cheering.! this one was like the minefield game? like you step and try to find the route and yeah. then we did more cheers [SEXY! SEXY! OH SO SEXY!] collected GLORYPOINTS, and did extra stuff to earn more, then we proceeded to tampines. supposed to do something at tampines sports complex, but since we were the first team to reach that point, they just gave us the GLORYPOINTS and let us go (: i suppose we were the only team to go to 3 of the 6 stations.

other than the ridiculously funny antics of our OGLs and the really strange bonding games, i really had great fun on this cause i made friends with a bunch of people! like i went around talking to like almost everyone in my group. [almost cause i dint talk to the guys...] and yup. after lunch [which we brought back to school and consumed before and after the debrief/briefing thingy] I WENT HIGH CAUSE I DRANK COKE. ohyeah. i said that already. hahah. so during mass dance i was almost crazy, and i started doing really stupid things and made everyone high. hahah. ohyeah. before mass dance was OG bonding session, so we played abit of polarbear while 13B had their lunch, then discussed the OGpresentation thingy, then almost ran to the hall cause we were almost late for mass dance.

OKAY THEN MASS DANCE! hahah. i sorta dint really look forward to it, but the coke induced sugar high brought me all the way through it. hahah and also my really cool new friends who actually went high along with me [THANKYOUSOMUCH! :D] hahah. and then we did a whole lot more cheering and stuff, and then debrief and briefing on tomorrows events, then got rushed out of the hall. hahah. met shihan, yisze, lianping and nicole in the canteen and walked out together, parted with nicole at the corner and then with lianping at the busstop near bedok station and shihan and yisze at the underpass below bedok station.

and came home. today was so much more fun and stuff compared to yesterday, maybe cause we warmed up to each other and learnt cheers and started going hyper [by sugar or contagiousness]

YES I LOVE TJ AND I LOVE XCION AND I LOVE OG13! (:

2009-02-02T20:14:00.002+08:00

okay. so today was my FIRST DAY OF JC!

and even though i've been in such GREENIE schools, i still don't really like green. hahah. it used to be my favourite colour back when i was... tiny. so. maybe that was the what. i forgot the word. nevermind. my mind has been totally blanking out on me for quite some time now.

hahah. okay. and since gabriel has come online i dont have to type my day here :D

just know it was fun while it lasted. (: but i think im doomed not to take MEP already. me lousy music student.

yup. and i learnt how to walk from school to bedok already! [ooo. its so weird thinking of TJC as my school now.] so hopefully tomorrow i wont get lost if i attempt to walk there from the mrt station.

haha okay. i'll post now. SEEYA!

2009-01-31T09:52:00.003+08:00

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed and
dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'

Oh~ But out on the street it starts to pour
and before I get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
And I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea

Oh~ But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise

Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side

Oooh~~

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look at Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new

Angel in Disguise - Corrine May

i'm really sorry, cause i couldn't be that angel for you-
and for everything else.

2009-01-30T20:20:00.002+08:00

so today i went for reunion! 5diligence'03 hahah. i know it sounds weird. (: would be hard for me to name people, cause there were a lot and i'm not risking missing some of them out.

and i did something new again! i played... SOCCER. as did everyone else. and we had a picnic. hahah. it was fun (: very different, but fun.

oh, and i'm really really really bad at soccer. hahah. never put me on your team if i ever do play soccer again. i think i have soccer-phobia even though i had loads of fun.

yup. i love reunions (: cause they are so... wonderful. and even with all the weird feelings and all that nonsense, it brings back memories. which i need to keep close (:

oh, and thanks everyone, for making me feel like part of the class, even though i was only there 4 months. and for. yeah. everything (:

2009-01-29T13:03:00.003+08:00

hm.so. school starts in...4 days. posting results out tomorrow.

im really really really nerved. obviously not posting, but first day of school. first days of school always get me jittery, cause i always remember that huge mistake i once made on a first day of school.

and im really counting on JC to be a good memory of my schooling days. like my sister keeps telling me, you make the closest friends in the two years of junior college. and i cant help but agree.

but yup. i'll leave it to God, to bring me to the right people. (: and maybe this time, i can actually dare to do witnessing in school. [stuff ive been putting off for way too long]

oh and tomorrow im going on a reunion picnic! cause someone managed to persuade me to go. hahah. i hope it doesnt get weird, you know. hahah. still have no idea what to bring though.

yup. okay i think thats it. i dont have the longblogging abilities that many of my friends possess.

2009-01-26T22:40:00.003+08:00

okay. im way too lazy to post about japan. want to know then ask lah. i bet even if i did post a long post about it no one will read.

happy chinese new year.

快高长大[kuai gao zhang da- grow big/tall/strong],
学业进步[xue ye jin bu- improve in schoolwork],
新年快乐[xin nian kuai le-happy new year],
身体健康[shen ti jian kang-good health].

i guess we all go through that series right? and then you read and see at which age you get "promoted" to the next saying. [and i know my translation is horrible.]

"the only reason why someone hates you, is cause he/she wants to be just like you"
and yeah, i agree. the things you hate most about a person, are also the things you love most about a person. i guess thats why i can love my enemies so well, eh?

but sadly, it also goes the other way. the things you love most about a person, are also the things you hate most about a person. and that sets me thinking. you?

2009-01-24T10:58:00.003+08:00

HELLO EVERYONEEEEEE! I AM BACK IN SINGAPORE!

and the temperature and humidity are SO PERFECTTTTT. (:

but, the airport, namely T3, is still too cold for me. so i guess i'll really have to source for places to study for a levels. that's if i actually get posted to junior college...

okay. ignore what is about to come, cause i'm just ranting.

i'm really really really really really scared cause i have an audition on wednesday and i am completely unprepared for it.

and also, i am very not sure about which subjects to take

and also, i dont even know which school im going to.

okay, enough ranting. and yes. JAPAN was wonderful. too cold, but wonderful. and i think i dont want to bore you with a post about it. or maybe i will. when i upload the pictures. then i'll just do captions and that will be fine.

okay. and now, i think i should go help my mother to make her pineapple tarts. [i know, we're so laggy right!] hahahah. await my long post! (:

2009-01-13T22:12:00.002+08:00

off to japan tomorrow morning, back on 23rd.

will miss you all dearly!

i'll still be reachable by email. [cause im going there to work in an office, or something like that]

seeyoualls, and all the best with making the decisions of your lives (:

loveeees!

2009-01-12T18:47:00.002+08:00

I AM SO RELIEVED AND HAPPY AND EXCITED!

(: and i guess thats all i need to say, right?

great job, my friends! and dont be discouraged okay? things will be fine. (:

2009-01-11T20:33:00.002+08:00

okay. so tomorrow is like JUDGEMENT DAY hahah.

im still amazingly calm.

hahah. im like eating apple slices with japanese sesame salad dressing. it tastes cute. hahah.

okay. i think thats it for the update.

await my rant tomorrow. (:

2009-01-10T21:08:00.002+08:00

hahahah ohmygosh today was so exciting! (:

6CH reunion! so we went to the macs nearby. um. when i reached there was.. yihui, shuyi, thomas, weicong, leslie, and then chloe, kaiying, rachel teo, elenna, cheryl, abigail, amanda, yizhi and eugene who came after his 2hour long haircut. hahah. i hope i dint leave anyone out. ):

so people came and went, and then we sorta got tired of talking in macs, so we decided to crash someone's house. and the house they decided to crash happened to be mine... so we walked over and like in the end we were left with yizhi, shuyi, chloe, kaiying, thomas and weicong. and then the twins came along shortly after. the guys jammed abit, then we played boggle and truth/dare...

hahah it was a really great time like re-bonding with friends! hahah. and like seeing how we've changed over the years. i think it was amazing (:

left for MasterLife, and sorta chased everyone out of the house. i think masterlife is gonna be great (:

looking forwardddd! (:

oh, and 2 days to the biggest bummer of the year. shall just keep enjoying till it comes and knocks me in the head.

2009-01-07T19:27:00.002+08:00

okay. so yup. went CYCLING and WINDOWSHOPPING with laura and sihui today! (:

hahah, and obviously, i enjoyed the cycling tenthousand times more than the window shopping, but i guess it was an experience eh? hahah. i actually tried on two dresses this time. felt weird and looked weird :D but its all part of the whole trying-something-new thing right?

maybe my new year resolution should be to keep daring to try new things. like try to be the one to make friends, instead of passively waiting for people to make friends with me. hahah yup.

and the results are coming out on 12th january, people. im totally freaking out, but its true theres nothing we can do about it anymore (: so might as well just chill- and yeah. anticipate, i guess.

yay. (: anyway. back to like my main point, THANKYOU laura and sihui for the wonderful time we had together today! :D love you loaddds and hope we still keep in contact for like the rest of our lives!

2009-01-06T17:08:00.002+08:00

so i was clearing my cupboards today. like finally, right? there were like ant nests or something at the bottom cause we actually dint touch those cupboards for like five years or something.

and yeah. flipping through all those things in the cupboards [and sneezing a lot...] brought back many many many memories.

the biggest memory, being XNPS.
how adelina wrote me a million letters...
how in lower primary, we drew stuff for each other [i actually received sailormoon/pokemon drawings... i prolly drew... pigs or bunnies. cause i liked pigs and bunnies. and they were the only things i knew how to draw.]
how everyone in my p5 class wrote me something in that book when i was leaving.
how i was so encouraged, and pushed on, and unafraid to face a new environment.
how we were so innocent.

i miss Xingnan. i really do. and so, i am going to search for my friends on facebook! (:

more memories came from GMPS.
how i received a card signed by the whole of 5 Diligence, and how i felt so accepted and welcomed. [like how often would anyone receive a card signed by a whole class right?]
how something i wrote was in the "Joy of School" booklet thing. [HAHAH AND HOW DIFFERENT HANDWRITING IS.]
how i changed class in primary 6.
how i made friends with Thai people, and people from another class.
how i actually dared to speak what was on my mind.

yes, i shall search for my dear GM friends on facebook too. oh and 6CH outing on saturday!

and of course, the memories from TKGS.
how things changed.
how stress increased.
how more things changed.
how we encouraged each other, and how we tore each other down.

16 years. its amazing isnt it, the amount of junk i acculmulated in those cupboards. im glad that now i am finally able to take all those words of anger and throw them away. im starting 2009 on a fresh sheet of paper. completely blank, and ready for more people to make their impacts.

i'll always remember things of the past, but at least now, im able to let go. (:

thankyou everyone, who has made an impact in my life.

TO FACEBOOK! (:

2009-01-05T18:15:00.002+08:00

hahah. went to watch twilight today.
edward cullen is hot, and robert pattinson is NOT hot.
bella doesnt like to touch edward. WHY did bella LIE on edward!
and edward was supposed to lie in a meadow and like show off his sparkly-ness.
AND edward was supposed to sing bella's lullaby!
and what happened to the blood test part where bella got dizzy?
and the werewolves were supposed to be really really tall or something.
PLUS, the music and sound was... ):
OHHHH. AND SINCE WHEN WAS THERE PEPPERSPRAY!

okay. so twilight was disappointing. who cares! i had a great time with ravleen (: and we totally agreed that we will do spend-more-time-less-money activities in the future. anyone care to join us? (:

hahah. and i really really really hope this year will be better than last year. i dont want anymore emotional rollercoasters! my life is complicated enough.

okay. so since im done blabbering, i shall devote my time to catching up with friends :D

2009-01-02T20:35:00.002+08:00

aloha!

so today was the first day of school for many many many people. hahah. and i actually feel left out! funny isnt it! like how my siblings are so "not fair, you dont need to go to school" and how im... missing school? hahah.

anyway. i forgot what i wanted to blog. hahah. so i shall just... stop here i guess.

happynewyear! (:

aloha!

2009-01-01T17:57:00.002+08:00

so. i have one word to describe my feelings about yesterday [and today].

and that one word is : ALOHA! (:

aloha 2008, aloha 2009. (:

its now the year 2009. a year i am now facing with much fear, since i have no idea what else may be in store for me.

yups. reflecting on 2008, i realise its been a really really wonderful year. even with the olevels. in fact, maybe even because of the olevels. its brought me closer to my friends, and helped me to make new ones.

God has blessed me in 2008, to have many wonderful friends who helped me through ~~this~~ last year as i faced olevels and other such challenges. and i am really thankful for all these people who have played this part in my life. and i'm pretty sure i don't need to make a list, cause i'm VERY sure, you all already know you'll be on it (:

happy new year everyone (: may 2009 be a wonderful year for every one of you.

---

hahah. yup. okay. so now for a quick update on the stuff i've been up to! 31st dec 2008 was FUSION night (: so we went over to xinyu's place to prepare our 香肠 MACheese. it was sooooo marvelous and delicious okay. we even had a mega macheese. hahah. had alot of slacking time inbetween cause we met really really early [plus the fact i was half an hour early in getting there... and everyone else was more than an hour late...]

yup. then we brought the stuff over and started selling! i tell you, they were selling so great, it was all gone an hour and a half later. like super fast right! (: oh and we made like $157 dollars, so thats a profit of more than $107 cause we underspent on our $50 budget. and i think we're the only class that actually counted the money we collected. heeh.

so we slacked around and tried food from other people's stalls [everyone's food was super nice lah okay (:] and then cleaned up and were like late for the service upstairs cause there was so much to do. heard a bunch of testimonies and a short sermon, which was actually interrupted by our countdown and all the "happynewyear-ing" and hugging and stuff.

and then we headed to xinyu's house for our stayawakeover! [technically, its not a sleepover cause some of us didnt sleep.] yups. three of us actually lasted the whole night without sleeping. (: and we made a lot of noise, so those who actually wanted to sleep had disrupted sleep.

and then in the morning we spent forever trying to get everyone up. cause we were just lazing around everywhere. i'll get the pictures up on facebook right after this. I PROMISE (:

hahah. yups. and now im back home. and i feel cheated cause im actually being charged adult fare price now, so the trip home cost 71cents.

now, to upload my long overdue pictures...

2008-12-30T16:25:00.002+08:00

quick update:

the new year is around the cornerrrrr! and i am excited and scared at the same time.

i guess i've never had to go through a JANUARY FIRST without knowing whats in store for me that year. cause normally we at least know which school we're headed to right?

hahah. yup.

i think thats about it. going out soon.

oh and yeah. i totally agree, ignorance is bliss.

2008-12-27T21:07:00.002+08:00

hahah. okay. so christmas is over. and now its more of prep for the new year.

yup. im getting kinda nerved cause the olevel results will be out soon. i can actually imagine them like finishing marking. and compiling our results. OR MAYBE, they're even printing it out and sending it to our schools now...

was reading a few blogs. read about mission trips, camps, holidays...

i guess people have been having better holidays than me eh? hahah. ive just wasted away my time ):

i shall seek to make january more meaningful.

oh and my font suddenly changed. how scary is that.

2008-12-26T20:02:00.002+08:00

i was reading, and yes, overthinking.

hahah. so yup. im draining out the little tiny bit of energy left in my system to type this out.

left around 11plus for jurong east cause we were going to sakura [near the omnimax theatre thingy] walked from jurongeast to sciencecentre.

lunch was nice. especially the UNAGI. hahah. i think i like unagi. but i dont like shellfish. cause they are super fishy.

after lunch, walked back to IMM, and went walking around there. [by this time, legs are already aching...] giant for drinks, and then daiso, and some furniture thingy.

um. and then in the train along the way back it was crowded, so i stood all the way from jurongeast to aljunied.

and then my brother fell asleep. and was tired, so i carried him home from the mrt station.

and i am so tired.

2008-12-25T17:44:00.003+08:00

Went for caroling with GBC yesterday (: had a great time catching up with the youth and speaking with a few of the adults. really miss them a lot!!!

and today was church service with the baptism stuffish in CBC. the twins were baptised today! :D

thankyou everyone who gave me presents! heeh. and im really really sorry for not getting some of you stuff, cause i really had no idea... [oh and i even received some gifts from people i dont exactly know, and cant remember the names... heeh.]

yup. so yeah. THANKYOU all!!! (: and blessed christmas!

2008-12-23T13:04:00.002+08:00

mygosh

i think i am the most wuliao person on earth.

and i think i am having an identity crisis.

cause my parents are mistaking me for my sisters.

and since when do i blog in this style!

hahah. okay. randomness stops here.

seeya! (: byebyeeeeeeee

2008-12-22T20:31:00.002+08:00

okay so my life has been super happening!

saturday was caroling (: umm. we went to 5 houses spreading christmas cheer (:

and then sunday was church [special 10am service, which means wake up later!] and then we went to SENTOSA! i dont know why we went to sentosa. but we did. and we had like alot of new zealand natural icecream. which was like super sinful, and super good. and yeah. i found out that i am now officially heavier than my older sister...

um. and today we just lazed around the house cause we were supposed to be in langkawi, no, bintan, no, sentosa... or something! but it didnt happen.

my younger sister even told us we were going to stay in the fullerton hotel. HAHAH.

yup. actually, my life is no where near happening... cause everyone else is like not in singapore now. and im like super lonely ):

AND, i dont know if i should watch twilight cause its bloody and violent. oh wait. do vampires have blood?

sigh. im fantasizing again arent i...

2008-12-20T14:49:00.002+08:00

had secfour farewell yesterday evening.

reached at around 1715 and sat outside the school until huirou came [and we all went in late...] but we still couldnt miss the disgusting games they had planned for us.

first we had to like blow the flour off a plate. and it was a huge MOUNTAIN of flour okay. and like when you blow [cause we have super high airspeed!] the flour will like circle and go up your nose and then like theres flour everywhere lah okay? and in the end everyone cheated cause we just used our hands to scrape away the flour.

then we had to write a 100-word essay on why we joined the symphonic band (: obviously, with handwriting like ours, it was unreadable, so they just let us pass. [not our fault we havent had to write stuff for a long long long long long time...]

then we had to burst balloons or something. but melissa did that [thankyoumelissa] cause she's really on! (:

and THEN. we had to drink this SUPER FIBRY CARROTCELERY DRINK. its like. cannot drink one lorh. must take abit, then chew first then can swallow. and it was a huge cup, and no one wanted to drink... so i got bloated and drank till i was about to throw up. then they just gave us the clue and let us go. then we runrunrun and get super nauseous.

and then i think we had to transport water from this bucket thing to a bottle. so at first we use our hands, which is super slow... then i took off my shoe and used it to get the water over. and in like two runs the thing was full and we moved on. (:

and then we had to choreograph a 5-minute dance with a basketball. we did complete nonsense lah cause we dragondanced. and i just realised, they didnt actually announce the winner... but ohwell, we had fun, and they got us running and doing all kinds of crazy weird things. (:

yup. and then we finally settled down and barbequed. lots of things have happened to our pit eh? suddenly all the wiremesh is missing and the thing cannot balance and everything. so we had this horrible fire which wasnt warm, and we ended up the last to eat and last to finish eating... [oh and we had super undercooked chicken.] hahah. and i succeeded in feeding abit of chicken to like everyone around the pit okay! (:

i had heaps of fun talking with the juniors, making a new friend, and yup. drying my shoes and walking around barefooted in the canteen... [oh and the canteen is really really really dirty. my feet were BLACK at the end of the day]

i think they did a really good job organising the farewell this year (: and even though i wasnt in tears physically, i was crying cause i know i'll miss all of them.

to my dear band juniors:
all the best for the years to follow (: never be afraid to call up your seniors to ask them questions, we are very nice people and will try our best to help you out okay? (:

take care of yourselves, and get GOLD WITH HONOURS for the next SYFs to come (:

LOVE YOU ALL LOADS!

2008-12-19T15:18:00.002+08:00

yay so today there was caroling at st luke's eldercare at like whampoa or something. (: and maybe i'll appreciate CIP and the elderly more! cause there was this lady who was talking to me. then she was like "guess how old i am" and then i shrugged cause i dint want to like accidentally insult her or anything... then she was like "i am 88." and i was like in shock okay. cause i dont know anyone else who is like that old okay! then she was like "there were 10 of us, now only i am left."

and i guess i know why old people get cranky. they used to have all that company. their siblings, parents, children, friends... but when they reach that age... it seems that all that company isnt there anymore. i mean. i'd be cranky if i was alone most of the time.

but they were very nice today. smiley and happy. and some of the adults said that it was cause there were "young people" there... so awwww, right? i made someone happy. (:

more caroling tomorrow at a few of the church people's houses (: i hope my younger siblings do join me. caroling is fun! and it spreads joy and happiness. ohwait. joy and happiness are like the same thing right.? heeh.

anyway. i realised that my definitions of words are like not entirely correct, so do not take me literally when i use certain words to describe certain things okay? hahah. perhaps in my free time i should read the dictionary. thats if i've already read enough Bible for the day.

yup. going for TKGSSB secfour farewell soon. i hope i dont cry. (:

AND OHMYGOODNESS MY SISTER IS SO FUNNY. she just made me watch some jonasbrother's parody. which is like jonas sisters? kinda stupid and retarded... but its a good laugh (: hahah. okay. before all the nonsense starts running wild, i better stop and post. (: seeya!

2008-12-18T13:45:00.003+08:00

today is another wonderful THURSDAY! (:

there is caroling practice later at church. please do go...

tomorrow is farewell. ): im going to miss band and everything ive done in band for the last 4 years. and im going to miss my juniors and bandmates! and the music that we've made together...

but i guess it'll all be fine cause its not as if we'll never see each other ever again right? (:

and christmas is really really close now! like. ONE WEEK. though i just realised i have to get ready christmas presents by sunday... which means, i have 3 days to make... alot more stuff. so i should keep working on it (:

and im going to go buy stuff later. hahah. totally going broke!!!

and theres still TWILIGHT okay... gosh. i've watched a million movies this holiday! i better find a job for january or i'll just spend up all my savings. and that would be disastrous and very sad.

on a brighter note, i just received my december allowance [i know, very late right!] so i have a teeny bit more to spend :P

yup. i guess thats all i'll say for now. shall go back to playing stupid games to keep my mind occupied, then get my fingers sticky again (: seeya!

2008-12-17T17:30:00.002+08:00

and so since today is another boring day in the life of ting, i am back here again to un-bore myself. not that "un-bore" is even a word to begin with...

spent the morning lazing around in bed cause i didn't know what to do when i got up and out of bed anyway.

and then i played a bit of piano [intermezzo and that song from spirited away].

and then i decided to start on christmas gifts for my dear friends in church. cause i have a lot to do and almost no time left. [it only occurred to me today, that there are only a mere 8 days till christmas.] no more lazing around! must work harddd (: oh and i figured that i can only do 2 at a shot. its impossible to keep ripping the ducttape so much. IT HURTETH.

oh and its 2 days to farewell and i still haven't gotten gifts for my dear juniors. i feel guilty. cause i think i'll end up running around looking for last minute presents and last minute presents almost always turn out weird or irrelevant.

ohwell.

2008-12-16T14:13:00.002+08:00

yet another wonderful day (:

woke up at 7:41am cause im used to waking up early.

went back to sleep and slept on and off till 1plus cause i was really tired.

ate brunch.

and im now sitting here feeling so super bloated.

strange isnt it. i starve myself and then i eat so much. both, horrible feelings. hahah. yesterday cause of church and the tj concert/rehearsals, i ate nothing the whole day till dinner. and then we went to buy like bread. so i ate ALOT for dinner and my mum said i was eating my meals in reverse cause normally bread is breakfast. hahah. anyway. i guess im just being weird now right.

now that the tj concert is over, i actually dont know what to do with all my free time. im super jealous of those people who are going overseas okay! at least they have stuff to do...

with the holidays ending, and the rumours about the olevel result release day, i start thinking, worrying and getting freaked out. i cant imagine receiving the letter from the school telling me when to go back to TKG, and not cause im visiting the band, but because i have results waiting for me there...

i am so totally scared.

i mean. yeah. the feelings just come swirling back right? and without band pracs or what to keep my mind occupied... i have that much more time to worry and overthink.

what if when i see my results, i dont know what to do with them.?

what if when i see my results... i realise that everything ive been wanting to happen... cant happen anymore?

what if when i see my results, i get so overwhelmed with emotion... that i end up being comforted, instead of being the comforter?

what if its just like the olevel chinese results ive received this year.?

what if i cant face reality?

what if...

there are just so many things to think about... someone come help me take my mind off it? i'd be eternally grateful.

now, to play stupid games and keep my mind occupied...

2008-12-14T21:59:00.002+08:00

seeing how our family camera is now in east timor with my sister on her mission trip, i shall try my very best to find the pictures we took today on the net or whatever.

anyway. today was fiesta bonanza. and i walked around in courtshoes so much that i have blisters all over my feet even with the plasters everywhere. [yes. my shoes are horrible. tore right through the plasters and hit my skin...] i wore a very cool silver tie (: its so pretty okay! and like contrast it with black and you get this super nice combination. anyway. i think the atmosphere was so completely different from VJC's NSSN... but i liked it. hahah.

hahah. (: okay. and i shall blog about yesterday as well.

went to watch piano recital! and it was sooooo good. (: whole bunch of us got lost at newton. and finally found the way there when even more people reached there. hahah. apparently then there were a whole bunch of people and i kept thinking i was leading them the wrong way. BUT anyway we eventually made it there. and in good time too! oh and for being a friend we got a discount (:

and the performer just told me that he played better today. so i am sad. but anyway. its the koala power okay. (:

and i think i should stop here cause its really late already. goodnight people!

2008-12-13T16:14:00.000+08:00

hahah. i think my life is like super fun okay!

the sleepover at Judith's place was like FUN TO THE MAX okay! just try to imagine 12 girls squeeeeezing into one room. hahah. living room, that is. it was really nice to spend time with the church peeps! (: and hey, its not all the time you see SO MANY PEOPLE in a sleepover right? (: we did all kinds of crazy stuff. hahah (:

and i spent almost the whole rest of the week in TJC having band prac. i still dont like their security guard cause he keeps making us write the sign in thing which has our NRIC numbers and i cant help but feel he'll use our NRIC numbers for other stuff. so its like creepy. hahah. oh and i cant write! my fingers/hand refuses to write properly. and to think just a month ago i was writing my SS paper. hahah.

realised that i havent been going to CBC! and like i hope tomorrow is youth service or i'll miss another sermon... cause i have to leave earlier to go TJ for final rehearsal for the concert! cant believe its tomorrow. its like so fast lah. december is half over... which means the year is totally ending.

yesterday i went for VJCSB's NSSN. it was so cute. the pieces they played were tenthousand times simpler than TJ's lah. gave roses [apparently, my dad says that girls dont give roses! so he forbids me to give a rose at the concert im going to today.] to the 4 of them cause i apparently didnt know that nicole and suzanna were playing for VJ... oops...

more concerts today and tomorrow. i think i'll fall asleep in today's cause im still dead tired. ): but i will try to stay awake. (:

and i shall stop here. hahah. i seem to tend to update in large chunks... my blog is boring right!

2008-12-06T19:21:00.002+08:00

I AM BACK FROM GENTING HIGHLANDS!

Day One:
left home at 6plus in the morning for kovan interchange where we boarded the bus which will bring us to genting. slept on and off for the 7+ hour journey. when we reached we had to wait a long long time for the check in thingy cause apparently the hotel is like super duper big and has a million rooms [6118, actually] and has a lot of people who want to stay there. and then we went up to look at the room! which was really really small. anyway. we went to some place for a buffet dinner thingy. the seafood was horrible cause it wasnt fresh, and the meat all tasted like satay, but i guess it was okay cause at least there was food, right? from there we went to the cinema! and we watched MADAGASCAR2. and that was like SUPER FUN okay! (: GO WATCH! its a great show. heaps of morals and stuff. then you plus the fact that alex[alekay], marty, melman and gloria are like SO ADORABLE... OH AND THE PENGUINS! and the monkeys! and haiyah. i can go on forever... so after the show we went back to the room and bathed [this took forever, seeing there are so many of us] and then finally slept.

Day Two:
breakfast in bed cause we dint have enough breakfast coupons and mummy da-bao-ed food back from the hotel's breakfast buffet thingy. anyway. THIS WAS THE DAY that we went to the themepark thingy. started off slow, with spinning teacups and carousels. and archery for father and younger sister, then we walked around and we saw this rollercoaster called the CORKSCREW. it was like WHOAAAAA okay! cause it goes upside down and spinning and everything. so i go a bit mad and i say i want to ride that one, and manage to psycho my sisters and father to go with me. so we join the queue while my mother brought my brothers to the smelly exhaust-spilling go-carts.[sp?] so yeah. we spun around like madness, but it was fun! (: went for lunch after that. after lunch we explored the indoor area. so there was this smaller rollercoaster thingy which daniel could ride, so we took that, and then we bumped each other around on bumpercars and went to watch some 3D show where the chairs and stuff move around... after that we went back to the outdoor side to queue for some stuff, but it rained while we were in the queue, so they sorta closed all the rides, so we headed back to the hotelroom, and then to the cinema to watch BOLT. its a really nice show. and it was really funny too! really cool contrast AND THE HAMSTER [rhino] WAS LIKE SO ADORABLE OKAY! cause it pep-talked bolt and it was sooooooooooooo adorable [but perchy and phascolarctos are adorabler, duh.] after the movie we went for dinner and then rode some of the calmer rides around the indoor [perchy and phascolarctos had great fun on the reindeer thingy], and then we went back to the hotelroom, bathed [taking forever, again] and slept.

Day Three:
RODE THE FLYING COASTER! it was those kind you sorta lie down on your stomach? then you go like swerving out alot and upside down and everything! went with brother and sister on this one. spin spin spin spin spin. got me abit dizzy and stuff but it was fun! (: after that we went to ride the cablecar to awana or something like that and mummy spent 100+ ringgit on preserved food, leaving us near broke. went for lunch after that, then to the bus place to head back to singapore. left genting at 2+ and slept on and off till we reached singapore!

genting highlands was fun! cause it allowed me to spend more time with my family and grandparents. (:

today went for TJ band practise again. played almost all the songs that are going to be performed during the concert. talked abit more while cleaning instruments in the later half of the day. so yeap. now i know a teeeeny bit more about the TJ section. (: oh and i never knew that the little unreachable corners of oboes can be cleaned with cottonbuds. hahah. shall share that news with the WORLD. (:

yay. i love holidays (:

2008-12-02T20:37:00.002+08:00

the feelings breaking dawn evoked in me are so... strange, mysterious and wonderful.

and i totally LOVE the feeling of it (: i mean its really wonderful lah okay? and i wont say so much if not i'll like totally spew out like everything i read in the book. AND AND AND! i am so going to name my kids after their grandparents, if i find a way to mesh the names nicely, and more importantly, if i have kids in the first place. hahah. must contribute to singapore's population, what with the whole ageing population thingy going on.

ANYWAY. to those who have not read the twilight saga, GO READ IT NOW I TELL YOU. if not you'll totally be missing out on all the wonderful-ness of it all.

hahah. and breaking dawn is such a nice book! and i still imagine edward being the edward i imagined and not the edward in the movie. so maybe i will watch the movie. cause i can just go read twilight again and get my lovely image of edward back. hahah. why am i so worried about edwards image in my mind anyway, right? [and yeah, i STILL prefer jacob to edward, cause jacob is so NICE!]

and why am i talking so much about a book.?

ohwell. i guess im just still in the trance that ive been in since i started reading yesterday. GOSH i am going to read it again when i get back from genting and before i return the book. even though there'll be no more surprise, maybe i'll find all the details i skipped in my excitement to find out what happens next. and then the whole book will be magical again.

and then maybe i'll finish reading the time traveler's wife. cause i still havent finished the last 20 or so pages of that. hahah. the things the twilight saga does to me, eh?

anyway. MIA-ing till saturdayish i think. dont miss me!

2008-12-02T10:35:00.002+08:00

just a little update, before i run off to genting highlands. im leaving tomorrow morning. like at 7am or something. and will be back on... friday evening.

and yup! i dont know what else to type. maybe i'll go find a poem or song or something and take up more space. :P

okay. so my usual haunt doesnt have any nice poems i have to quote, so yeahhhhhh. maybe i'll just try to fill up the space with nonsense again. hahah.

my sister has blocked the screen from my view, so i cant see what im typing at all.

perchy and phascolarctos are sitting on my lap. they are awake now! and they woke up like super early today. i think they're really excited. cause they were up and in my face when i woke up.

the board that my sister is holding in front of my is starting to tickle my face. and i think its going to give me pimples or something

my sister is telling my sister to do fractions.

and she promises it will be fun. so i think my younger sister should go and do fractions now cause my older sister is a busy woman.

and now i am being told to log out cause i am a distraction.

SEEYA!

2008-12-01T19:21:00.002+08:00

okay so i went out with a blocked nose, a super phlegm-y cough and my head in a complete mess.

TJ band was fun, as usual (: its just really really different from TK band you know? hahah. at first my sound was stuck cause the air wouldnt flow properly, but it gradually got okay. (: im going to be missing wednesday practice cause of the genting trip, and i hope i dont miss too much!

hahah. anyway. im gonna be unreachable from wednesday to friday cause i'll be in malaysia. so see youall when i get back lah kay? (:

yup. i guess i'll stop here.

2008-11-27T20:58:00.001+08:00

went to cathaycineleisure again today. wildchild! dint really expect it to be so good. (: like the plot really got to me okay! and i cried. hahah. not that its really that touching or what. i just like crying for nothing. guess thats what makes me WEIRD (:

oops. 8 minutes past curfew.

-runs off-

2008-11-21T18:54:00.002+08:00

hahah its been a really funpacked week. (: cant believe its only been the first week after olevels.

cause ive had so much fun, it seemed like it was forever... i guess for me, fun times last longer, and i dont remember the month of stress, exams, going crazy. i remember this past week, and all the friends ive been out with.

thanks so much, my wonderful friends, for being a part of my life. for being my friends. cause i know im not the easiest person to get along with. in fact, i do know im crazy almost all the time, and i have the horrible tendency to overreact, overthink, and over-everything! so yeah, really appreciate you all HEAPS for sticking by me! <3>

anyway. i went to watch Beverly Hills Chihuahua today! was supposed to be HSM3, but we missed the show cause we were too late, and the other cinema didnt even show it. anyway- the chihuahuas were so adorable okay! and i totally loved the whole storyline and everything.! i even cried at a point in the show. shall not say, incase some of you decide to watch.

OH AND TWILIGHT COMES OUT ON DECEMBER 18TH! EXCITED MUCHHHHHH- though im not sure if i should watch, cause it might wreck the opinion i've formed in my head. like looking at the person who's playing edward cullen in the show? i dont even think he looks a thing like edward. hahah. but i guess if thats how stephanie meyer or whoever casted him thinks edward should look, maybe i should twist my imagination a little. scarely i go there and cannot recognise anyone.

hmm. i think i'll just end here. cause im like talking alot. hahah.

seey'all! (: have a great holiday!

2008-11-17T18:25:00.002+08:00

OHMYGOSH, after o's has been such a wonderful fun time! haven't been home much! hahah. lets see.

Friday was PROM NIGHT! mygosh everyone was so dressed up and so ~~pretty~~BEAUTIFUL. like just check out all the wonderful pictures on facebook. im just amazed i didnt cry, though during the graduation song thing i almost did! cause all the memories just flooded like mad.

Saturday, i went back for band cause they were releasing comm results. i missed it cause i was sitting up in the band office. hahah. how stupid of me right? then we hung around and talked alot (:

Sunday! church as usual, and then moviemarathon! twas fun. (:

AND TODAY.

today i went for TJCSB tunein! its been a long long time since i've touched the oboe, but it felt really great. I CAN STILL PLAY! hahah. though i do sound horrible when compared with the J1s, nikki, and oswin. cause they are DSAers! which means they got like high standards. and me? ha. i sound like a secone. sigh. and i thought most oboists were female? but today's secfours were males. except me, duh. anyway. there were stupid games which sorta dint quite make sense, and i dint quite participate in. and my head isnt a football magnet anymore! dont really feel like elaborating this. was way too scary.

hahah. yesterday was the coldest ever.

cause i reached the airport half an hour too early. and i guess that was time enough for it to get me frozen... went to the t2 macs which was already very crowded for some strange reason [maybe cause public holiday] and then studied there till about 2.45 ish? then it got even more crowded, so we tried going over to t3 macs. but then when we got there, which was really really far away, it was crowded too! so we went walking around t3 looking for a place to study [which is REALLY REALLY HARD] viewing gallery was crowded like mad, then we almost went back over to t2 or something, then we walked past this basement thingy which was almost completely empty, and decided to just sit there and study. it was actually warmer there... but then there was a lot of radiation there, so his ears turned very very scarily red and heated up and everything, so we decided to move. again. so we tried the t3 viewing gallery and ended up studying there. which is like SUPER DUPER cold. and i froze. like almost literally. couldn't feel my left fingers. hehheh. we traded koalas every few minutes to attempt to keep my fingers attached to my hand and my hand attached to my arm- hahah. cause its not fair. he's so warm!!! ): but anyway- read more notes and studied till 1930 before heading back home.

YAY WALKING HEATER! (: hahah.

2008-10-03T16:42:00.005+08:00

We cannot all be heroes and thrill a hemisphere
With some great daring venture Some deed that mocks at fear.
But we can fill a lifetime with kindly acts and true,
There's always noble service For noble souls to do.

We're not all blessed with beauty Nor everyone with brain,
But each from every other Has something good to gain
So let us make an effort To keep it as a rule,
That Each one needs the other Within the Katong School.

Then let us fill the hours With minutes truly spent,
In helping one another Towards a true content.
So let us serve in honour And work for selfless fame,
For credit of our country And glory of her name.

So. It was the last day of school today. Our graduation. I'm really going to miss TKG. All my friends, teachers, and perhaps i'll even miss some of the infrastructure.Our beautiful and really special CIRCULAR BLOCK [parade square view] The newly refurbished high-technology STUDIO [with cranky air conditioning units] The 4e6 CLASSROOM on the fourth floor [study atmosphere, anyone?] The number on the wall that we all heave a sigh of relief at- Our really special CIRCULAR BLOCK! [inside view] Classroom blocks [odd and even week banners and all (:] The HALL [who never fails to remind us our school motto and values, whose floorboard bears with us as we stamp our TKphilosophy, whose walls shake as we scream the TKanthem, and whose roof echoes back our school song...] The umbrella tables- [our sectwo art] The seventy-plus cameras in the school... And the GREEN handrails.

yeap. i'll miss TKG... Our graduation ceremony today was WOW. Started with class presentations. When it came to our class, and Huang walked up the stage, immediately, the tears started flowing from my eyes- it was amazing, really. Then came what the school leaders and some of the teachers had to say. It was so inspirational!

And i can't belive Miss Terry is leaving ): The school's just so incomplete without her! But anyway- she's moving on to greater heights, just like she's been telling us to do- So we should be glad for her...

When we sang the school song together, as a cohort, so many of us broke into tears halfway through- include our VP in that. it was just so hard to imagine, that would be the last time we sing the school song together as a cohort- i wonder if we happen to sing "The Church's One Foundation" in church, if i'd end up in tears as well.

Then, they started playing the graduation songs... those songs. wow. i never really understood how it made people cry last time, but today when i heard them- i guess i understood. "If We Hold On Together" had a special meaning too, it being the band song and all-

The school had a few gifts for us...
A letter from a secthree from 3e6 '08, and these two little things from the school, and the school heads respectively.
gosh, theres just so much about TKG that i know i'll miss.

FRIENDS.
classmates of 4e6 '08:
It'll be too long to type out everyone's names, but just to let you know, i'm wearing our class tee now. (: I'll miss you all so much-

especially LAURA, my best friend for 4 years (: Its just so hard to imagine not having you around. We've been in the same class for four wonderful years. Thanks for all the memories that you've helped make for me. Its been such a blessing getting to know you-

to all of you, all the best for olevels- YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT (: and i hope you all get into the school of your choice.

classmates of 2e8 '06:
I know, our class blog is nearly dead, but i just wanted you to know i really miss the lot of you- all our fun times, and how we're always working as a class toward a common goal- Its you, who have helped me. (:

bandmates '05-'08:
yeahh, i'll miss you people HEAPS. during the september holidays, our one week break? I was wondering why i had so much time. Its like, without band, theres nothing to fill my holiday with- just goes to show how much time i spend in band, right? Thanks for the added music in my life- Thanks for all the inspiration. and especially to my section, thanks for giving your best. keep improving, and show me a gold with honours when i come back to visit, okay? (:

TEACHERS.
Mrs Liew, Mrs Pang, Mrs Loe, Ms Lim, Ms Mo, Ms Lee, Mdm Azizan, Mrs Capel, Mr Peh, Ms Tee... You've been wonderful beams of guidance, and its been wonderful being a student of yours. In your own special ways, you have left impacts in my life. and i really salute you, for wanting to pass on your knowledge. Like they say in that candle analogy thing. sacrificing yourselves, just to help us. thank you so very very much. Keep smiling, shining, and all the best for future batches of students (:

I LOVE TKGS. my second home, for these four wonderful years of my life. Thanks for the shelter, the protection, the love, and for watching me grow (:

2008-10-02T21:07:00.002+08:00

-cues "awwwwwwwwwwwwww"-
they are just soooooo adorable, are they not?

spent 10 hours studying yesterday, since it was the Hari Raya holiday- the airport never seemed to be such a conducive place! hahah. (:

lets see... where do i start? met at 9.30++ at Aljunied and MRT-ed to Changi Airport. reached T2 at around 10... walked a little and found the viewing mall. hahah. so we found a spot and sat down to study- quite strange, they mop the floor in the middle of the day- hahah. so around after lunch kind of timing [yes we skipped lunch] a LOT of people suddenly appear. noise level shot right up, and there were all kinds of people.! amusing, a little, but more annoying. and the thing is, it isn't a library, so technically, you can't yell at people to shut up. [like i'd dare to, actually.] hahah. people started disappearing when the sun started setting, and then natural lighting almost zero-ed before they switched on the lights, which i found quite cool (: conservation of energy! (: and natural light is so fun. okay. so we studied till my parents turned up at T3 for dinner. snapped a few pictures of p&p (: i guess its cause both of us are not the take-photo type, so we snap pictures of other things for memories, yeah? hahah.

anyway- perchy decided to come home with me cause it missed phascolarctos too much. so awwwww, right?

and so after dinner at Popeye's, we went home, and slept, i guess. hahah.

today, was the second last day at school. i'm going to miss going to school, really. i'm going to miss my classmates.! all those people sitting around me, all those people i have recess/lunch with, all those people i go home with... its kinda hard to believe we won't be taking the same bus home for a long long time- [till the olevels-] and i really can't imagine what will happen after os. like we'll never take the same bus home again!!! ): im going to miss wearing my green uniform. actually, maybe i should save this for tomorrow's blog post.

SO I SHOULD BE HAPPY NOW! (: then tomorrow then sad. so that its not so widespread thingy!

i have to bring CAMERA, rag, candle, $2 tomorrow. and i think thats it- hahah.

i shall go hypnotise myself with haydn's london symphony 104 now. (: eat haydn, breathe haydn, think haydn, LIVE HAYDN. i LOVE haydn... not.

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon

its amazing, really, how this song still can make me cry- brings back heaps of memories! and this really cool guy played it on the ocarina. its on youtube! oh and ocarina is this recorder-sounding cute-shaped instrument. and it has a really nice calming effect- so people, when you're like stressed out or anything, GO LISTEN! (: helped me heaps (:

and i better run now. its past 9.30

2008-09-27T19:22:00.002+08:00

yesterday was Save the Koala Day.
and this month is Save the Koala Month.

hahah. and i forgot to post yesterday. cause it was really late when i got home.

OH AND I HAVE SUCH A SCANDALOUS LIFE. hahah. don't mind me yeah, i'm just being a teeeeny bit mad. yeap. okay. more than a teeny bit. more like VERY mad (: but then, that's where the fun comes in, right? (:

yay scandal! (: scandals make life so much more fun. and interesting. and fun! hahah. and im totally nonsense-ing now, so i should just go-

2008-09-25T21:54:00.001+08:00

sigh- imagine, if those weren't raindrops, but drops of another kind-

2008-09-24T21:07:00.002+08:00

maybe after tomorrow, the examiners will just look at me, and phascolarctos, and wish that phascolarctos played, instead of me. anyway. the one in the picture isn't phascolarctos, evidently, since i don't own a grand piano- or a step ladder- but still, i'm quite sure its more talented than me, at least.

i guess i'm not meant to be a performer.

1 pathetic day- PANIC MODE, ON.

2008-09-23T21:18:00.003+08:00

olevels are in 2 days and im still blogging. i must be mad, right?

anyway. i have the option of whether or not to go to school tomorrow, and thursday, and friday. and still, im going to school. cant believe it.

and prom has been postponed till 14th november, which is after olevels! so we'll be more in the mood to celebrate. only downer, is that its going to cost $50. and thats just food! and its in some peninsular plaza or something- which sounds really ulu and stuff. yeah. hmm. well, at least i didnt have to spend money on the dress, or makeup cause im not going to do make up. and yeah. im going to do my own nails, so save on manicure too- i hope- hahah.

BUT $50! so much for being able to buy a dress, and everything else under a hundred. and yeah. so much for cancelling prom, and then combining it with graduation and everything to "save money" and whatever else there was in that whole why we had to force ourselves to go for prom or cancel the whole thing.

and now those who dont want to go for prom have to go see some teacher or something- i mean. whats the meaning, right. OHWELL! at least that'll make more people from my class go (: (: (:

anyway. i better post before the connection dies. SEE YOUALLS! and all the best for upcoming stuffish.

2008-09-22T20:04:00.002+08:00

if only things could be that simple.

2008-09-20T19:51:00.002+08:00

i feel like those fishes. just swimming... swimming, and not even knowing...

im such a horrible horrible person. cause like. prelims are so over. and its been so long, and im still being stupid and not studying. like. im totally unmotivated even though the results are so ew, you get what i mean? sighh. im going to drag myself to the library like. more often.!!! cause like olevels are in a very very short three weeks.

JIAYOU, everyone taking olevels/nlevels/alevels that are coming up!

2008-09-16T17:55:00.002+08:00

hahah. look look look! i took a picture of the keyboard- hahah. i know lah. im like wuliao, but still. i think its quite nice (: artistic, a teeeeny bit. hahah. and its off-focus too! (: i love off-focus shots.

hmm. what else- today's math was so painful- we had to sit on the floor again! [poor us] but i was two questions away from completing the paper! so i feel accomplished anyway. expected to be getting back results today, but i guess all the teachers are holding back. everything! kinda better, cause i won't get upset, but its also building up this pressure in me. like. i don't even know if i passed!

i ought to be studying. but cause the prelims just ended, i don't see the urgency- blahh. who am i kidding. olevels are in. OHMYGOSH. performing is in a week- die.die.die.die.die.

i shall start mugging as of... TOMORROW! like. i'll go library after school and study. i hope- someone go make study date with me lehhhhhh. then i'll be more. motivated. hahah.

i shall go befriend my textbooks and TYSes. though that doesn't sound interesting at all. JIAYOU PEOPLE! (: its, like everyone says, the last lap (:

2008-09-15T18:48:00.002+08:00

heyys. today was the first day of block periods, and getting back bits of results.

the mood was. totally weird. or maybe it was just me.

okay i think it was me.

2008-09-12T19:38:00.002+08:00

the prelims are finally over! (:

like YAY! (: hahah. went out with laura and karen today! to sunteccity. watched babylon A.D. it started off really scary, but beyond the shooting, and screaming, and dying people, there was a pretty good moral in it. and it was really touching too! how a guy so tough learnt to trust again- learning to have a heart (: and to think he learnt it from a non-human. hahah... ohwell!

we sat at the esplanade rooftop for 3 hours after that, just talking! i guess its really fun to just sit somewhere, forget about all our stresses and just talk with each other (: maybe thats how i'll be spending the majority of the days after olevels.

today we received our block period schedules. its like. wow. olevels, are so here. not much time to celebrate, eh?

tomorrow im going back to school to do my recording... i hope it goes well.!

yayyyyyyy. prelims are overrrrr!

2008-09-10T21:40:00.002+08:00

thought i'd post up another picture from our 1st september outing. there were so many beautiful purple flowers there! (: i'm going to bring people there to walk. after o's, maybe.

okay. so its like the last bit now! down to the last three MCQ papers for the sciences. i really can't wait for the prelims to be over. then i can look back, smile, rest and prepare [get it?] further for the olevels. and probably spend more time on the piano [i really should!!! olevels are in... 15 days.]

yeah. its supposed to scare me. hahah... i hope i'll practice more- so that i can improve. and so that i can pass. and i can prove to my teachers that i'm not that much a failure! and also, so that i can get nice grades for MEP, higher music, and thus a better l1r5, cause i kinda know that my combined humanities won't be all that great.

okay- i should stop here cause i've started crapping already. (: all the best to all who are having prelims! (: i'll be praying.

2008-09-08T21:33:00.002+08:00

i should be studying
cause theres still physics tomorrow
blah...
i hate prelims.
and i cant wait for them to be over
but yet i dread them
cause theres like. olevels after that.
and like. olevels are super high stress.
but then again, the olevels have to come for them to be over.
right?
anyway.
i dont know what else to type
and i dont even know why im typing in this format
its so not like me.
blah.
i dont know who i am anymore, anyway

2008-09-03T21:58:00.002+08:00

i really miss taking all these random pictures! (: anyway. since mum and dad decided to go buy us a new camera [the old one died of overexposure to heat/light/something] we brought it out for a trial run when we went for the walk on the 1st... and i got to take my random pictures again! (: the camera is quite good! hahah. only i don't like the way it makes intentionally shaken photos not shaken anymore. hahah. they should be able to toggle on/off the anti-shake like the previous camera! then i can take my cool motion pictures. [i like taking pictures of light effects, and movement. which is why the previous camera was... weird. cause everything turned white and all lighting effects were gone.] hahah. anyway. i guess this camera is fine (:

yeah. and i guess i don't have anything else to say. which sorta explains why i'm almost totally crapping now. hahah. yeah. maybe i should go. do something else. hahah... see you all around yeahh? (:

2008-09-02T21:15:00.002+08:00

yesterday- i didn't have the study mood.

so my mum brought us out for a really long walk. hahah. it felt really good and destress-ing! (:
reached home really late, and exhausted though.

today- i forced myself to have the study mood.

hahah. went to the national library to study with 6 DILIGENCE '04 people today! super conducive, for the fact that at its prime, there were 10 of us there.

yay! thank you camy for organising (: hahah... personally cant believe i did so much physics, yuck! hahah, and also to everyone who went! cause i think my phobia temporarily disappeared again (: hahah. my holidays are turning out to be so wonderful!

i miss primaryschool. all over again.
