Some people tell me my blog sounds pessimistic. Really meh?? I guess you go ask around people who blog and they'll tell you that they tend to write down negative stuff more. Maybe coz it's a medium for venting frustrations. Oh i'm very much an optimistic and happy person! Wahahaha.
Okay that was uncalled for.
Ok time for dance. Update later.

Oh yay! So glad my dad got a new phone from his friend and he gave me his old one. No more phone dead during calls halfway or back cover slipping off when i shake my phone a little. Now i'm happily transfering my mp3 to my phone from my lappie via bluetooth.
Call me the queen of procrastinations. I barely wrote a few lines of my marketing tutorial when i got so distracted walking around my home. In the midst of my tutorial attempt, i painted my toe nails, cut my finger nails, transferred a mp3, ate a slice of bread, watched tv and erm, wrote this entry. That is why i can never study at home. But i'm not a slacker. I just need to have more self-discipline.

seeking and searching again
Life is always about searching. We're constantly on a search for ourselves, for our inner contentment and who we truly are. We also embark on our unrelentless pursuit for happiness, the other half, perfection, ideals and the meaning of life itself. Not knowing how the process will be like, but the light at the end of the tunnel spurs us on. Yet the beauty often lies in the journey itself, with the many surprises it brings. Even if i falter sometimes. Isn't it ironic? Seeking beauty which is in the seeking itself.
By the way, figure skating is so so pretty. So surreal and magical.
How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere
Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive, insensitive, insensitive
How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again
Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have, some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

I was afraid to love, so i build the walls around me.
Went to watch Runway Or Another - Eusoff Dance Production last night at UCC with yiwen. It was a combination of their dance and productions and hence, on a large scale. It was really quite good as expected! The acting was good and the dances were well performed and there's a great variety within the dance as well as among the dances. Played badminton with yiwen alvin and the rest after that till about 3 am! Then played mahjong with yiwen jason and yao zhi till breakfast time in the morning. Oh my gosh my biological clock is completely topsy turvy now. Came home at 12+ pm and slept till 12 am. :/ Sorry to those whose smses i didnt reply!
Pointless, therefore the silence.

softball galore
A flurry of events have passed so quickly that i haven't have time to stop, relax and do some work. Watched I Not Stupid with my family on first day of new year, went huishan's house to eat and play very fun taboo, pool and mahjong, had my last two softball (and also IHG) trainings, team reunion steamboat at A2 before mian left, mahjong with aloysius colin and whelan, and the softball carnival. As much as i like to take some time off, i guess i like to be busy doing things i kinda enjoy doing. IHG is officially over for me and it's time to meet up with friends like jess, pris, boon, chel, lilian, sin, alan, char, ber..
Went for zouk flea market with yiwen today and the stuff there were kinda nice. But some items we wanted were still pricey. Bought a pretty necklace and a tube top i've always wanted at Topshop. But i regret now coz it's a little short. :( And i embarrassed myself by wanting to pick this bag on the ground that belonged to the shopowner. :( No wonder it was so heavy.
We are the softball champions!!! :D
Today is a very motivating example of how a team of mainly average players can defeat other teams with IVP and national players with extremely high morale, overwhelming team spirit and unyielding determination to clinch the gold medal. We were all so high and ecstatic after every inning (TH HOLD! TH SCORE!) and the support and cheers we gave one another far surpassed the rest of the halls. We all knew we wanted it and we did it exactly the way we wanted it. Fielding was tight, batting was good and the teamwork was there.
Semis: TH vs EH 16-2
Smashing!
I was going to lament about the passion inside me that had died off like the burning wood that sizzled and sighed after water was poured on it. But not now. I had allowed myself to throw away my two opportunities to improve and reassure myself. In short, i gave up even before i tried. And it's a vicious cycle when you think people think you can't make it and subconsciously you allow yourself to be what other people think. But it's not going to happen anymore. Being in the team has given me a lot of opportunities and new experiences. Like challenge myself, learn something new, ignite my passion and meet so many nice people. It's just not time to fumble now.
I'm going to run after all the balls tomorrow!!
Today is not a very good day. The pressure, the disappointment, the guilt, the loneliness, the confidence level hitting rock bottom.. Maybe i'm being punished for skipping so many lessons. But hey, german was cancelled. Not my fault.
I'd rather all good things come to an end than good things turn bad. :(
Anyways, a very beeeeg SORRY to RACHEL coz i didnt go for your law bash! Hope you win the pageant!!
Oh, i can't wait for this day to be over.
I always thought that at this age and point of time, there isnt much to learn, much to muse and sigh upon realization. So many things i thought i've learnt and thought through, through this medium i call my blog. So many hackneyed phrases and clichéd sayings. But talking to this senior made me woke up from my complacency. I was telling him that it’ll be kinda sad when the seniors graduate from hall and they must come back to visit us. Like how I used to want to go back to st nicks when I was in hwachong during first three months. Being the sentimentalist that I am. Then he said yes they will come back for some impt IHG matches, but nothing more. I was shocked. I thought they love the hall so much? He said they agreed that once they graduate, they’ll move on and embrace a new chapter of their lives. And not look back. It will not be a sad affair when they leave this hall they call their home, because they have had a fulfilling and enriching experience here. And it’ll suffice. Then I recall and realize how the same old familiar feeling never quite return fully whenever I try to relive the past and the moments I fondly hold on to. The past. It embodies so much stories, warmth and laughter. The past. It has been like an anchor holding me back, refusing to let me go when I should be living for the present and creating moments for the future. And now that I’ve learnt, it’s time to move on.
“If only I didn’t know you so late. You’re leaving!”
Makes so much sense.
I just learnt the happy birthday song in german so i thought i'll dedicate this to yiwen. :D
Zum Geburtstag Viel Glück
And squash girls just added another gold to the name of Temasek Hall! Line-up went exactly the way we wanted it to be so yeah, we were lucky and of course, winning wouldnt be possible without the talented players we have. Yay!
Ate sakae buffet with zes today. We gobbled up a total of 25 plates (not a very fantastic amount). I finally satisfied my craving for sakae buffet!
I think i'm gonna fall sick. Soooo unusually sleepy nowadays. Inevitably dozed off during the last hour of stats lecture on tuesday and the first hour of changing landscapes later in the afternoon. So sleepy and lethargic that i went back hall to sleep when break was announced! And i didnt want to wake up for stats lecture on thurs and was too lazy to go for marketing later in the afternoon. Great. Just when i want to be more hardworking.
Happy cny people! I just realized how different this new year will be without my grandfather around. And i think my heart aches.
i screamed myself hoarse while supporting TH handballer guys today. It was a really good game played and we're so proud of them! Never mind that we lost by a mere goal but most importantly the spirit was there and everybody did fight and give in their best. It really makes me want to train hard and win badminton and also all three titles for TH next year! Because it will never be true victory unless we have failed before and picked ourselves up after that. And it will taste even sweeter. GO TH!! :D
And yes, luck to squash and softball!
I should start lowering my expectations before i get disappointed again and again.
The accumulation of bottling everything inside these days finally culminated and i sank into the lousiest of moods when i woke up from my three hour nap today. At least it was good training for softball for a while and playing badminton with alvin and the rest after dinner. Thanks huimin for the company!
But i think i'm back to square one again. Sigh. You could have cared a little more.
They always say make your choice, go ahead with it and do not look back. Yet I often find myself holding back, thinking about opportunity costs and what-ifs. Staying in hall is one example. Sure, I have my fair share of fun, new friends, laughter and experience. But all these at the expense of my family time and friends outside hall. Or even inside hall like jess and pris. I feel a tinge of guilt every time I have to reject people because I have hall stuff to do, or sadness whenever I see people moving on without me. But I can’t help it, for this is what I have chosen, and I just gotta stick with it.
Been sleeping real late these days. Mian's birthday celebration, mian's farewell party and all. The farewell party was a success! We cooked tonnes of food for her and sang a lot of songs accompanied by the guitar and took several photos at the tv lounge. Was chatting till wee hours with meilin kaixin and mian last night before going west coast macs for breakfast. Think we're a little crazy. But it was real nice standing at the A3 bridge, enjoying the cold and chilling night breeze and the usual temasek serenity.
Omg i'm very tired.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Painfully true.
Sometimes i really wonder. You want something so badly at a point of time and when you finally get it, you realize you do not really want it after all. Must it really be the harder it is to get something, the more you want it? They say there's beauty in seeking, yet often in my pursuit for perfection, i often falter. Maybe I haven’t grasped the true meaning of beauty itself yet, or know what I really want. Frankly, I’m still on a search for myself. Maybe when that time really comes, it'll spell a whole new chapter of my life. Till then, it’s whims and fancies.
On the finals on sat, 14th jan, we lost to EH 2-3.
There are a lot of if onlys. If only we put terri as 2nd singles. If only luck was on our side. If only we didnt let our good players, kai mian and terri, go to waste like that. Our strength was not poorer. If only we had a little more luck on our line-up. Winning wasn't such a problem. And they admitted they were scared of us. But after all the trainings we had together, the times we laughed and joked together, the sweat and tears we shed together, the moments we stood by each other and support one another.. And especially after the prep talk on saturday, huishan's kinder surprise, the cheers, the spirit, singing TH anthem all the way back, the dinner at holland v, the crazy photo session, the friendship, the bond and the memories..
Having thoroughly enjoyed the process, maybe winning wasn't so important after all.
I'm so proud to be in the Temasek Hall Badminton Team and this is only where i want to be.
I love my TH badminton team mates, who are mostly simply a combination of my st nicks and hwachong team mates. :D It was really fun today playing doubles match with them. Laughed a lot! And after training at src canteen, we played my favourite 1-2-3 and what-huh-orh games. Got so high. I am so going to develop abs after a whole day of laughter and fun.
They say i'm really hyper today, being tickled by the slightest thing and "irritating" everybody. Hmmmm.
Jack of trades and master of none. I wish i'm not like that. I wish i can excel in an area i'm really good at. Something i can be proud of and have ultimate passion in. But maybe sometimes mediocres are there for a reason. Somehow or another.
And i give up. Sick of the nonchalence.
Found our comm hall like this at the TH IHG blog! Arranged by the takraw guys and i find it really cool.
Yesterday was badminton prelims. Guys won RH 5-0 and lost to SH 2-3. Girls won SH and RH 5-0, 5-0. I thought i played terribly against SH, gave away a few points and not being on form at all. Oh wells. Nvm. I must play my best on tuesday! Advancing our way to semis and finals, i certainly feel a very strong need to clinch the gold medal! Really hope we can win badminton this year and bring glory to TH. The IHG spirit is definitely here and i hope we can win the overall champion for IHG for the 15th year running!!
Nothing much these days besides training for IHG. Tomorrow marks the start of the games for me, and hopefully the badminton team will fight hard and keep up the spirit of TH! We must clinch the gold medals! Congrats to hockey for double champs and guy's soccer and table tennis for the golds too. :D
And it will be so purposeless when IHG draws to an end.
Oh myyy must new year and new year eve days be spent out celebrating or something? I've been asked by a lot of people why i never go out and all. Well, i spent first day of year 2006 in the comfort of my own home, playing mahjong and black jack with my mum and sister. Then dinner and shopping at compass point with sis. Simple as that! Sis asked if i wanna go zouk with her friends and it'll be kinda cool clubbing with my sister. Haha. But the tired us decided to stay at home and sleep early.
But as cynical as it sounds, i don't see what's with celebrating a new year actually. I don't know. I think i was so caught up with thinking about how lovely the christmas atmosphere is, the details of my ideal christmas and all that i forgot year 2005 had passed with the blinking of an eye. But it's rather contradicting, if you ask me. You may lament at the idea of celebrating the end of a year filled with good ol' friends, events, memories and moments. For all the good has become past. Yet it can be thought of as welcoming a brand new year with new faces and creation of good times and memories. Well, entirely up to you.
Have you ever wanted a silly little secret wish of yours to come true, and when it really did, you weren't expectedly as happy? Hmmms, human beings are such funny creatures.
Starhubbing with aprilyn, kellyn and kelly, moving into Temasek hall, TH DND, embarrassing moments with yiwen (scaring people, washing erhem in the toilet, squatting down the slope), organising my first xmas party with yiwen and nat, out with meilin sanduo and siongqun, tv-ing and sleeping with yinghong at tv lounge after german lessons, IHG trainings, union camp with pris, biz camp, flying to India and watching my dear sis get married, phuture with chel alone. Hmmms, i'll fill in more when i can recall.
I bought a pair of pretty VNC heels today! Not to mention at a discounted price because of some defects. I'm just not the very fussy type i guess. Really wish my most favourite Guess belt isn't sold out though, so that i can look at it whenever i walk into the shop. At the very least. Haha. Next in the wishlist is this nice halter top but i'm beginning to realize i'm too broke to buy anything for myself. But well well, i received a few nice pressies for christmas this year. The glass globe, the top, the cap, the vouchers. So i'm happy.
And above roughly summarizes my bimbotic entry for the day.
Wednesday night was a final meet up of the year with sinhui. I swear i'm a little sick of crystal jade! Then it was zouk with my two girls, with a couple doses of their craziness at the bridge, a bloody fight between two guys (and boon tried to interfere HAHAHA!) and silly camera shots in the cab. And they were like being boyfriend-crazy, talking about how nobody can be compared to their own guys. Haha. Oh and stop trying to get me a rugger boyfriend!

Initially, I was more than reluctant to go for our juniors’ farewell chalet. I thought we were a tad too old to be there. Well, all I can say is thank goodness I did go after all. It was such a heartwarming sight watching the juniors dedicate and sing songs to each of the leaving sec 4 senior. And it felt strange to watch the leaving seniors make their speech, when it seemed just yesterday that they came into the team as sec 1s all fresh and new when we were in sec 4. Then the teachers and jiao lian talked too. Reminds me of the prep talks jiao lian used to give us in the past. Thanks to zhang pei’s impromptu idea, it was meaningful seeing kaixin pass down the captain’s plaque to zhangpei, then to yupei, then yunhua, then Winnie. The five batches of captains! And what’s more memorable and significant was when all the 2 coaches and 3 teachers, and SEVEN generations of SNBT members, all gathered together and shouted the traditional SNBT cheer in unison. Gosh, I felt so warm and happy, like I’m back in the SNBT family once again! And I hope the cheer and the plaque will continue to pass down generation after generation.
And as kai, mian, zhang and I sat there, watching the girls scurry around giving hugs of thanks and joy, passing little hand-made gifts and meaningful cards, I very much wish I never had to grow up.
St Nicks Badminton Team, we roockk! :)
Christmas was nicely wrapped up with two christmas greetings in the mail box. Both equally unexpected. One from virn, my dear junior from st nicks, and the other from nelson, my mortal from 69! I'm remembered!! Am i blessed with the nicest juniors, or what?
Not to mention the card from jill, xiaowei, presents from this and that. This christmas is seriously most unexpected. I'm numbed beyond the usual shock and surprise. And there are a couple of people driving me nuts for the season. Whom i shan't mention. :(
The day was spent with my two girls. We were hyped up strolling down the streets of orchard as the christmas songs were tuned to full blast. I wished everybody could start dancing to the music or something! And i did not know shops were opened on christmas. I saw a great deal of stuff to add to my wishlist but nahh, i'm far too broke to buy any. Quite corny to spend Christmas shopping away.
But you know something? Whenever there's an occasion, say christmas or prom, we all rush too hard to make the occasion special. It must be ideal and perfect in our opinion, something memorable that we can look back to and bask in the warm fuzzy feeling. In the sense that we must spend it with our loved ones or have fun like it’s a season to let your hair down and enjoy it thoroughly. Well, true of course, but I find it overrated. There are times I look back in retrospect and find myself smiling and missing the silly, usual things we do. And then I realize it’s actually just the little moments that matter to me. Training together, laughing like silly things together, going for breaks together, going for lessons together. Little moments like these last a long time. Moments like these that we never quite expect to be memorable at that time. Why, I can’t half remember what was so memorable about st nicks graduation night. Yet we spent a great deal of effort preparing. I’d rather the heavens bestow upon me a dozen days back then, where I find myself training hard with my teammates, or rushing down the aisle of our lovely canteen with boon and chel to cut queue and buy food. Of course, special occasions are great to spend with the ones you love and show how much you appreciate them. Make them special. But let’s not forget the little moments and cherish them like we never had before, before they get tucked away nicely at the back of our heads.
Christmas party on tuesday was quite a blast! Thanks to all for helping one way or another, whether issit the moving of tables and chairs, decorations, food, clearing up, or even just attending the party! Special thanks to yiwen and nat for contributing so much too. Really glad everybody enjoyed themselves and looked so cute in the santa hats! :D We made a right choice in buying it right, yiwen? And so thankful there were too much food instead of too little, and it didnt rain till late that night.
Watched TH soccer vs KE7 on thursday. We won 14-0! Congrats! Love to watch soccer live, especially how they managed to trick and dribble their way past the opponents haha. But the EH match was much more exciting. We should have won! Thought we had more possession of the ball. Erm, any pros tell me if i'm wrong. Love cheering too. Really hope TH can win IHG again this year. OR the 86 batch is really the jinx year. Went queensway and bought badminton grip with ml and yh. We bought the same flip flops! Really pretty, and it carries the prevent breast cancer campaign symbol. Haha! And i didnt have tangyuan that night. Mum was away at grandma's house. :( i still remember making tangyuan with mum since young!
Alvin, wanyuan, huishan, kunshan, kok hua and i went for dinner after softball training last night. I was so cracked up i almost died of laughter! Haha we were much entertained by alvin the freak with his stunts like licking his elbow, pulling his arm, popping his eyes out blah. We even had videos of them, directed by wanyuan! Hahaha. It was a most fun dinner.
Results were out yesterday. I did neither good nor bad so i guess i'm kinda thankful. Sighs, some people are just so contradicting. Either just admit it, or get over it. Now i don't know what modules to take next sem! Recommendations, anybody?
I think i'm appreciating Punggol more and more. Where elsewhere in the neighbourhoods can you find such serenity? I like to sit at the interchange while waiting for my bus, looking over to the blue yonder and the vast piece of sky ever so beautiful. Whether is it the blue background with while fluffy clouds, or the velvet blanket embedded with twinkling little stars. Best still, my favourite time of the day, where the sky slowly dim to reveal its pink and blue self, exuding a sort of enchanting charm. I ought to go on a vacation someday, somewhere away from the hustle bustle, buildings and traffic, just to enjoy nature at its best.
Am receiving quite a few unexpected presents this christmas. But the best has to come from jillian - a greeting card all the way from london! Oh my gosh, girl, we miss you! June isn't too far away alrights. We'll have rounds of mahjong, badminton, shopping and eating then okay? :D
Merry christmas folks!
Thursday night was crazy. Sanduo, siong qun, meilin and i had an impromptu meeting up. Ate supper at the kopitiam behind cine, before playing pool in cine. We then had craving for dao huay and you tiao, hence we drove to geylang for the famous dao huay. On our way to send san duo home, we passed by the sign Mount Faber and were suddenly very interested in catching the sunrise. It was already nearing 6 am then. We then went up to the highest point of mount faber to catch a glimpse of the dawn. Alas, the trees blocked our sight. Although we didnt get to savour the moment the flaming orb rose over the horizon, i felt the paranomic view overlooking the sea and the ships and sentosa and hdb flats and commercial buildings did suffice. Can't believe we were out the whole night and thanks to sq for driving us throughout!
Thursday night was 69 gathering at zherui's house. The warm and familiar feeling came rushing back to me when i saw those faces i used to see everyday again. We had roasted chicken, pizzas, chips, ice-cream, bascially good food topped with great company and tonnes of laughter for the night. I was so cracked up i think i laughed throughout the night! Alan's cow-eat-dung and char's bbq chicken wing jokes were classics! It was really nostalgic and we were as if we just graduated yesterday, minus the army talk. Oh how i wish things were back to the past.
The next afternoon was ktv with sd sq ml and ekit before meeting yiwen to buy stuff for the party tomorrow. Hope it'll turn out good! :)
Wheee! Finally feels the festive joy in the atmosphere. I just did a little christmas shopping on my own just now! Love doing things like these. It's the season of giving and giving is fun! To me, christmas is a great oppourtunity to show appreciation and tell people how much they mean to me, however cheesy it sounds. So do tell me if i've been a bad friend (unlikely) or a good one (most probably)! Hahaha. Too bad i won't be giving any small presents (tight budget) or making any (running out of ideas). Feels a little embarrassed thinking of the christmas trees i sewed for some people last christmas. But heyy, that's a great deal of effort so please don't throw them away!
Chel's flying soon and boon's mamboing now and i didnt go phuture with her. Sorry girl! Two trainings today were tiring me out. Hope you have fun we go next time when chel's back!
I say, keep your eyes on the girl that you love, and don't let them wander.
This is something many failed to comply with these days.
I don't know whether it's the culture nowadays, or it's me and my old-fashioned way of thinking. I still believe very much in being able to love someone only when you know the person well, and that being in a relationship is a matter of that love so strong, not mere infatuation, crush or slight liking. People nowadays seem to rush into such status quickly, perhaps because they want someone to be there for them. But doesnt that mean they're just looking for someone for love and company, not due to the fact that they truly love the person? How fair is that to the person? Pray, do tell me if my thinking is flawed. Maybe that's why i never got into one.
That was one question i was asking after watching Pride and Prejudice with zes and amelia today. How could Mr Darcy fall in love with Elizabeth when they met only a few times and spoke a few lines? I guess that's just something true and genuine but i'll never understand. Nonethless, it was a good show to catch. Though zes and i felt that those who never read the book may have problem understanding it. Amelia understood it perfectly though. Keira Knightly was pretty and some scenes were pretty funny.
Sunk into a lousy mood for a little while. Do pardon me. I was just being selfish and wishing i could have something to myself.
A night's out with my two babes. FINALLY! Dinner at lau ling bar and chilling out afterwards at the observation lounge at mandarin hotel. The view was really spectacular and breath-taking! Then it was singing christmas songs on our way to the mrt. Great meeting up you two! And trust me on that i really have nothing juicy to offer about my life. Haha, i'll tell you guys if there's ever any juicy bits. We must start to plan for christmas!
Ecstatic!
As you can tell, everybody were really high.

One of the more sane photos. :D
Boon and i almost died of laughter upon seeing this!!
I wanted to learn guitar well but had to give up after a few lessons. Oh I promise to study harder, sleep less and play well for badminton and softball (if i can make it into the team).
Nope..
My grandfather passed away when school just started. And it still feels strange now.
Erm, India only. For those who don’t know why, prepare for a shock. I went there to attend my sister’s wedding. Interesting, I must say. Treasure the roads and water and food in Singapore.
Simplicity.
My birthday, maybe. My st nicks friends, hwachong classmates and hwachong teammates all at the same table. How cool is that? I like that night at fisherman’s village with CHEL AND TZIYANG and boon. Shared quite a lot of stuff with boon. (I do share if u ask!) TH dinner and dance. First time organizing Christmas party in TH. Moving in with meilin on the first day of hostel living.
Keeping true to myself. Or having trainings everyday haha.
Not being there for my sis when her good friend passed away, or my mother when my grandfather passed away.
I coughed for say, three months?? And it’s coming back again. Damn.
Erm, I bought tones of stuff since I first got my paycheck. Oops. Nothing memorable I think. Maybe my three-quarts coz I wear them all the time. Haha.
People who make effort to pull in the distance.
None that I can think of.
Food, shopping (before uni started) and erm, hostel fees??
Hmmmmms. Moving into hostel I think.
Shan Hu Hai and Ye Qu by Jay Chou (we played non-stop during exam period), Lifehouse songs, Grease megamix (DND!), I’m really Hot by Missy Elliot (dance practice at A219 haha).
i) happier or sadder?: Same, although a lot of things have changed. Happiness is a choice!
ii) thinner or fatter?: Fatter. Hostel living makes people gain weight. Haha.
iii) richer or poorer?: Richer (working), then poorer.
Spend more time with my family and care more for those around me.
Living everyday without purpose.
In town with my two girls, boon and chel. :)
Nope. Haha.
Nope.
I didn’t watch a lot of shows I guess. Is Full House counted?
Nope.
I didn’t read much. Pride and Prejudice is by far the best I guess, though I haven’t finished. Haha!
Lifehouse.
My loved ones to be by my side. Oh I always wanted to learn softball!
Hmmmm, the Guess belt? Hahaha. Nothing much.
I didn’t get to watch any good films this year. Maybe Sweet Home Alabama on TV.
Alan, char and lilian surprised me with a cake at my house. Then we had lunch at the pseudo Marche place. Then i had dinner at Fish n Co with boon chel pris simin meilin jillian alan charb lilian and char when I thought only boon and chel would be there. Surprise! And some of us went Chinablack after that. Oh I’m nineteen already! :(
Having spent my time properly and meaningfully.
Oh, stagnant. Haha, seriously, how bothered can you be when you wake up a couple of minutes before lectures?
Food. Haha.
Hmmmm. Nobody.
Lilian!
Hmmm, yiwen? Don’t be too proud, I’m just randomly naming one from TH. Hahaha.
Do not let any pursuits, concerns or desires overshadow other important aspects of your life.
Cause it's you and me and all of the people
With nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you
Soooooo many of them. My family, the good old friends who stick by me, and the new ones who are to be kept.
