Hello 1T07ers!

DISCLAIMER: THIS BLOG POST IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE WHOSOEVER READS IT FEEL GOOD, NOT SAD. SAD FOLKS ARE RECOMMENDED TO READ IT TO MAKE THEMSELVES HAPPIER, CYNICAL FOLKS ARE SUPPOSED TO EITHER READ IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT, OR READ IT AND BECOME LESS CYNICAL. HAPPYJOYFUL FOLKS, READ IT AND POST MORE OF SUCH POSTS SO WE CAN CREATE A RAINBOW HERE. :)

HTC Jun here, well I just met Mark today so, decided to blog here :) Blogger is such a bitch these days, its no wonder all of us stopped blogging here nowadays! Haha..

Anyway, Mark and I met at Woodlands at around 2:30pm just now, went to eat and chat about good old times. We also saw his ol' buddy (whom a lot of us also know), Terence. Well anyway, it felt quite good to meet a 1T07er after soooooo long, it just brings back all these nostalgic memories (No mark, no cynical blog post concepts :P ) !

I miss you guys, really. After so many days of not seeing each other, and having not updated each other, I sometimes sit in my little comfort bubble, wondering if anyone of you are sitting down and wondering if I'm wondering the same; wondering how the rest of us are doing, what we are doing at the moment, who we are with, how we are faring as individuals (work, army, studies alike). I grasp hard, trying to find the words to fit into this blog post; trying not to sound over-sentimental (or the dismissive, recently-popular term, emo), while trying not to be anywhere near the other end of the emotional spectrum, ie cynicism.

(jun, have you gone..bonkers? or were u always a little cranky?, say the voices in my head)

1T07! I FREAKIN' LOVE U GUYS OK. EVERYTIME I READ THIS BLOG, IT JUST BRINGS BACK ALL THESE FUNNY, HAPPY, LAUGHTER-LADEN, JOY-JUICED, EXHILARATION-DRENCHED MEMORIES.
WHEN I SEE THAT PHOTO ON MARK'S JAN 20,2006 BLOG POST, IT MAKES ME SMILE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT NONE OF US LOOK LIKE THE LITTLE PEOPLE FROM THAT BACKDATED PHOTO ANYMORE (hmm or do we?); WHEN I SEE XIUFEN'S JAN 22, 2006 ENTRY ABOUT OUR 1T07 CHAT CONFERENCE ON MSN (yes I do believe I am the 'night has fallen...' persona) I REMEMBER, AND LAUGH ABOUT OUR CRAZY SCH-PONNING DAYS (and also, albeit less glamorously, the time I shouted the 'f' word in crazy excitement and got some of us into trouble..); WHEN I LOOK AT LING'S AND MANDA'S (RELATIVELY) RECENT POST ABOUT CHRISTMAS AND PROM, I CHUCKLE ON THE FACT THAT THEY ARE STILL THE HAPPY PEOPLE WHERE WE LAST LEFT THEM; WHEN I READ MY OWN PROM-PONNING POST AND BING'S SHORT POST, I THINK ABOUT THE RECENT EVENTS THAT SHAPED OUR LIVES.

Haven't we been through so much, accumulated so much, just to let it slip into oblivion?

SORRY FOR TYPING IN CAPS..I JUST GOT CARRIED AWAY. Oh, and here it comes again! My insanity knows no boundaries!

YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GOING TO RISK IT ALL..I'M GOING TO RISK MY DIGNITY, TIME, (money?), EFFORT, HOPES & WISHES BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE WORTH EVERY LAST DROP OF IT! I'M GOING TO REVIVE THIS FORGOTTEN LEGACY, ONE REVOLUTION AT A TIME!

By doing what I can! Remember the 1T07 CLASS TEE (whose design work I've procrastinated time and again)? I AM SO MUTHER-F**KINGLY (for the lack of a better word, sorry!) GOING TO START WORKING ON IT TONIGHT! WATCH THIS SPACE, MY MATES! HARI, BING, REMEMBER THE CLASS OUTING U GUYS RECENTLY PROPOSED? DON'T LEAVE IT AT THAT! START SMSING/MSNING/CALLING/HOME-VISITING THE T7ERS AND ASK THEM WHEN THEY ARE FREE..ARRANGE SOMETHING!! TELL ME IF U NEED ME TO INVITE/CALL ANYONE!

1T07, this is your HTC speaking. Tag here, blog here, sms me, msn me, tell me what designs you like. Loon suggested 7th heaven angels as a wonderful preliminary concept, but I'm super open to ideas! SOooo.. IDEAS IDEAS IDEAS! Start dripping your brain juices over my table and my doodles, and tell me what you want for a class t-shirt!

LOVE U GUYS.
JUN.

down memory lane

i was down from AFS today from paya lebah and i requested to be dropped off the sch EXCURSION bus at jalan toa payoh, well to those who dont know roads well, does that at least ring a bell or so? no? its where CJ is. savvy?

so i alighted with my classmate, the ex-cjcian, and she asked if i wanted to go in to walk, she's one year our senior (so yeah, my classmate now), and i gladly obliged, i wouldnt have walked in alone, and as we entered the gate, walked that that couple of steps, the first word that came out of my mouth were "this brings back memories". or does it? those memories you longed, yet long they never return to cause a longing.

changes in CJ, they are currently renovating the library, that sweet little thing there, so it ensures the very cranky Library auntie a goooood rest to come back LESS cranky i hope, (its not as if it affects me right?). From the last time i was back, the CJ PAC has beeeeeeeen opened. beautiful place? not really, if you compare it to the De lasalle PAC, its insignificant. there's a fully furbished and airconditioned GYM next to the grandstand. and i got to smell it.

and so we walked around, from the PAC to the canteen then to the gereral office, to the quatrangle, the grandstand, gym, staff room, the hall (when they were having chinese ORAL.. oops!), and then finally to the general office, where i got the chance to talk to Mr Tan (willian Hung!) again. His looks never did really change i guess..

and as i name all those places, its as if something flashes pass your mind, that place, where we sat, where we ate, where we laughed. (damn i'm sounding like i'm writing some love letter! or maybe i am... NOT!) and i can actually imagine the cjcians in j2 last day sitting at the grandstand talking. i can almost imagine it, too bad i wasnt there.

and it was only three months, three short months i was there, it is so going to be the place that i will miss due to the people that i met there, it holds a meaning of a special bond, of a special breed of friends to be made there. those spots, the classroom even, just as i sat at the legde of my sji class the last time i was there, just being around brought back memories one by one, so vivid.

i spoke to mr tan for quite a while, he has amazing memory, citing when he actually took my friend's class when she was in j1 and what he exactly said.. now i really wonder what he's made of.. mmm.. but i guess thats how he got his place in the general office also. but i remember sitting through his class and joking and teasing away, i guess it must have been really different after the first three months, the stress, the pressure, the everything.. well, for me it sure was. poly.....

firstly, i'd like to apologise for the failure of the previous gathering, and on the assumption that people were free, or actually made time for it, so yeah.

secondly, i'd like to congradulate everyone of you on ur As results and posting, esp girls who're starting sch in august or end of july. have fun, its year one.

thirdly, to all the NS guys out there, i love you still! ;) but hey hope we can really meet soon.

there are always stuff around you that are happening, people around you that are changing daily, things that do not remain the same. even time is not constant, its consistant, but are you sure?

its in the consistant effort of seeking out your friends, or at least people you consider friends, and find out how much they've changed, find out how well/badly they've been, i'm sure all of us have changed one way or another, new girlfriend/boyfriend, bestfriends/enemies, shoes to handbags, godknows, but when was the last time we actually did realise a change rather than a complying hi and bye? or that i'm waiting for you to start the convo, or i'm just too busy to start the convo, and then i'm too busy to keep up with that convo, (with teevee or whatnot?) then i'd not say bye to avoid ending the convo crudely, so i'd just end it abruptly. sweet.

its far more than heys hows life? great? good? oh by the way... bye...

from friends we're moved on to acquaintance, when are you going to forget my name? and by the way, if you now wonder if my surname is sae or not, we've gone to that extend already.

and it is not for me to plead, to beg to even ask

no one reads this anyway. so why bother? is it worth it? or shall i say, i've got enough at hand already? why busy myself more?

cos, its just in my blardly blood.

a friendship is measured not by the length of acquaintance, but the length of hardship

Looking at these photographs,
everytime i see it makes me laugh,
everytime i see it makes me.....

or do they really?

LETTERBOXes. the flow with springcleaning.

i was cleaning my room just earlier. going through a plastic bag of things inside. and then as usual in spring cleaning, you come across many many old things, and then you decide whether to throw it away or not. LETTERBOX, if you can remember, appeared in that pile. it wrote on it, marksae, and with somevery familiar handwriting, please write me notes! it wasnt my handwriting, it was xiuf, cos i made someone else do it, and it always has to be xiuf. thats why i appreciate her soooo much.

LETTERBOX was something that was created only in that class, and distinctly ours to share. it was to write to each other things, saying nice things about everyone else. reminding each other how great they have been, thanking them for the every little thing that they did, just nice things. there wasnt a bad note that anyone found in their letter box. i can still remember it very clearly, each time we walked into class, the first time we'd do is check it, and it does brighten up our day.

childish acts, you may say, or so gay to some guys, but i beg to differ. i guess its with compliments and praises and appreication that we are able to live pass each day, humanly, happily, fully. and for a person who only hears abuses or nagative remarks will grow to become bitter and sad in life. people say a smile would brighten people's life, maybe so, but i guess a nice THANK YOU would really bring about a huge smile in a person's heart. i guess people say that praising would make a person's ego swell, but its moderation practiced. the ego only swells when praise is given out of proportion. yesh, i do agree that many people do things for the praise, but when they do not get the attention when they do something good to get the praise, it will have an adverse effect. you'd know what would happen. think about it. look at delinquents.

and as we grow, we have to grow out into reality, into the world of schemes and politics, of complications. if only the world was that simple, you say, i'd say so with you. but we never do realise that we were the ones who made it complicating? weren't we the ones who actually CONTINUED the tradition of politiking? weren't we as guilty as the other party that we are pointing our fingers at? weren't we making things complicated too? my mum used to tell me to be street wise. i hella got damn street wise, too streetwise for me own good. i'd read between the lines of what people say, i read into the intentions of every single thing, i'd size a person up with what he says. but life then started to get really complicating, really tiring. and i learnt one precious thing, why dont we just go back to the source? why don't we just go back to the whole start of things? well, simple, not that long ago, when we were born, CHILDISHLY we played with toys that could statisfy us, we'd play with a weasle that pops and makes us laugh, we'd play with our mother's fingers and laugh at the faces of some grown ups makin stupid faces at us. we didnt learn that these grown ups had motives for us when they made funny faces, there wasnt any intentions when we played masak masak with our bestfriends. there wasnt no complications.

it wasn't my mum's fault for teaching me the ways of this world early. human just began to become ugly. yesh, you may say that im shallow, you may say that just dreaming, im innocent, or even childish. but have you ever wondered how life would be like, not fearing someone would stab you in the back? how life would be like if you'd be appreciated for every single thing that you do? how life would be like, not worrying if the person beside you was to snatch your life, your wife, your money, your credits, your anything from you? and how life would also be like giving and taking and sharing and just loving? utopia, you'd say, a dreamland, something that i should actually stop thinking about now and getting on with life, with REALITY. the thing is that, people, they dream, they listen, they even long for it, but guess what? THEY DONT EVEN TRY.

for a while back then, i thought i had found my utopia. well, to me something quite close to it, if it wasnt. well, yesh we started trying to impress each other, but as time went by, things only seemed more clear, and the judging stopped, there wasn't any politiking, there was just one big clique. sounds familiar doesnt it? it sure does. there wasnt any complications, we just opened our hearts to each other, ourselves as well. WELL, WE LOST IT.

the LETTERBOXes were a good example of my utopian-ic world. there want a reason why something like that was there but just to encourage, just to show concern, even if it was an anonymous drop with 'are you ok?' and no one to tell NO IM NOT, it still made you realise that someone CARES, and someone actually notices that you aren't ok. with Love comes care, and with Love comes openness, with Love comes a hell lot of things that we could share together. even a friend Loves, and if everyone Loves, there would be an equal amount of giving and taking.

if we knew contentment, if we knew selflessness, if we knew Love, if we knew who God really was, Heaven would be in our midst. Utopia is even less than Heaven. Carl Marx had a great ambition, he had the dream of utopianism, he lacked an important factor, Love.

at the end. i accidentally tossed the LETTERBOX with the rest of the trash. it wasnt actually part of the trash, but something dropped on my leg and i got flustered as it messed my room i trashed everything into the plastic bag and tossed it. it hurts my heart, but thats the last of my dream of utopia. the representation of such a culture that was shared, if only the people were willing to keep things simple, if only they didnt want to complicate things, if only they'd want it so strongly still, the LETTERBOX wouldn't even be put in such high regard. its like a late loved one's belongings. it only gains sentimental value after the owner has passed.

still, IF ONLY, and what can be done about it? and what can be resurrected? something thats a Once Was will never be the same ever. even a replica is only a replica. fabricated to LOOK like the same. we all know, it'll never the same.

sorry i may sound a lil' harsh. but these are a words of me at 3 am in the morning. take some time the think about it.

when i said i gave up, and when did you ever know me as a quitter?

it's the time of the year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

thought i might wanna drop by and say hello, am guilty to admit that i haven't been here in eons, though i do tag once in a while.

read junyi's post about ponning prom and hey! i ponned prom too. well i used the word ponned for the lack of a better word, but rather, SA didn't exactly give me and my classmates much reasons to spend money on prom.

i know my reaction to prom is possibly very different to amanda's version of prom, given that she feels nostalgia about seeing the words st andrew's junior college on stage and all, but really, it's in the eyes of the beholder.

but there's not to say that we don't feel nostalgic at all, we do say that we miss st andrew's, in terms of the cafe, the air conditioned tutorial rooms, waiting till 5pm for soccer/rugby matches, elephant walk, and that heartbreaking moment when soccer team lost (albeit suspiciously) to nj. that moment when everyone cried.

so fine, there are quite a number of nostalgic and good memories we've had in st andrew's but maybe, we just couldn't pin point at a good reason to just attend prom.

but hey, at least we think we're going to redeem ourselves when we drop by for the move to SAV (st andrew's village), feelings of nostalgia; or otherwise.

happy holidays kids!

lings!

PROM PONNERS PWN (drafted on 1/12/05) (continued on 18/12/05)

hey guys! juz had a chat w mark and he said i'd better post this here.. so here i am, blogging abt why i ponned prom..or rather,the less obvious issues surrounding this topic: JC life.

firstly, imma kip this post short, so pardon me for my lack of, or inadequate, elaboration. the past 2 yrs have gone pretty fast..time didnt juz fly, it telelported. lemme juz relate to u this experience i had,3 days ago.

as u shld know (A level canditates ya'll). the A levels ended kinda early for some of u; mine ended pretty late, on the 28th. it was my art practical paper, a 3 hr-ed paper (8-11). as the clock struck 11am, u would've tot i felt the same kinda liberation as most, if not all of u did. u would've tot i would rush off home to burn my books, or at least rush off to town to haffun wif my other art classmates. i thought so too.

yet the moment the examiner said 'ure dismissed', and the room was in total chaos, i astonished myself. while every1 was announcing plans for grp lunch, post prom activities &c &c, i picked up my bag, and went straight to the loo, to get away from every1 else. after rejuvenating myself with some water, i made a mad dash to the main gate, and continued running a few kilometres, for abt ten bus stops, before hitching a bus to head home:

[09:35:54 PM] love,unrequi: along the way i was
[09:35:56 PM] love,unrequi: feeling like
[09:36:00 PM] love,unrequi: totally fucked up
[09:36:05 PM] love,unrequi: not from fatigue
[09:36:14 PM] love,unrequi: not from sadness
[09:36:20 PM] love,unrequi: juz an overwhleming nostalgia
[09:36:24 PM] love,unrequi: a weird
[09:36:27 PM] love,unrequi: melancholic feeling
[09:36:33 PM] love,unrequi: couldnt get rid of it

[09:36:41 PM] love,unrequi: cleared my books
[09:36:44 PM] love,unrequi: and notes
[09:36:50 PM] love,unrequi: and threw them away
[09:36:55 PM] love,unrequi: but the moment i started sorting em
[09:37:02 PM] love,unrequi: till the moment i finished
[09:37:11 PM] love,unrequi: i felt totally shitty
[09:37:20 PM] love,unrequi: i looked at the notes
[09:37:24 PM] love,unrequi: over the past 2 yrs
[09:37:32 PM] love,unrequi: i saw the notes that i misplaced.
[09:37:41 PM] love,unrequi: finally, when i didnt nid
them, i recovered them
[09:37:48 PM] love,unrequi: i looked at
[09:37:55 PM] love,unrequi: the notes that look unfamiliar
[09:38:00 PM] love,unrequi: browsed thru them
[09:38:21 PM] love,unrequi: and realised they were notes i ignored, that could've
made me understand my subjects more adequately
[09:38:27 PM] love,unrequi: i looked at photocopied versions of model essays
[09:38:29 PM] love,unrequi: and thought to myself
[09:38:42 PM] love,unrequi: why didnt i read these, and hopefully
become more like them?
[09:38:54 PM] love,unrequi: and considering my a level scripts were
nowhere as gd
[09:39:00 PM] love,unrequi: they foreshadowed
[09:39:04 PM] love,unrequi: poor grades fer my As.
[09:39:07 PM] love,unrequi: that same night
[09:39:13 PM] love,unrequi: when i went to slp
[09:39:15 PM] love,unrequi: i drmt
[09:39:20 PM] love,unrequi: i had another paper the nxt day
[09:39:26 PM] love,unrequi: and i was late
[09:39:28 PM] love,unrequi: i woke up
[09:39:32 PM] love,unrequi: feeling like totally tensed up and crap.
[09:39:52 PM] love,unrequi: i tot i was shocked bcos exams were not
over
[09:40:00 PM] love,unrequi: but i corrected myself after a while.
[09:40:02 PM] love,unrequi: i was actually
[09:40:06 PM] love,unrequi: feeling nostalgic for exams.
[09:40:09 PM] love,unrequi: not juz for exams;
[09:40:14 PM] love,unrequi: but for my past
[09:40:17 PM] love,unrequi: 2 yrs.
[09:40:24 PM] love,unrequi: all the tutorials
[09:40:26 PM] love,unrequi: & lectures;
[09:40:29 PM] love,unrequi: frenz;
[09:40:34 PM] love,unrequi: gossiping;
[09:40:43 PM] love,unrequi: waving to acquantiances along the
corridor;
[09:40:52 PM] love,unrequi: seeing every1 dressed in grey;
[09:40:58 PM] love,unrequi: the art block;
[09:41:02 PM] love,unrequi: the parade square;
[09:41:05 PM] love,unrequi: the library;
[09:41:15 PM] love,unrequi: the canteen;
[09:41:17 PM] love,unrequi: the grandstand;
[09:41:25 PM] love,unrequi: all these memories
[09:41:31 PM] love,unrequi: all these places, physical
architectures
[09:41:34 PM] love,unrequi: they'll always b there,
[09:41:37 PM] love,unrequi: true.
[09:41:41 PM] love,unrequi: but experiences,
[09:41:45 PM] love,unrequi: though intangible
[09:41:51 PM] love,unrequi: and vague,
[09:41:58 PM] love,unrequi: would stay forever.
[09:42:07 PM] love,unrequi: and as i looked at my schedule
[09:42:12 PM] love,unrequi: realising im heading to ns next,
[09:42:15 PM] love,unrequi: and after tt
[09:42:27 PM] love,unrequi: going to uni (hopefully if my As made
it)
[09:42:34 PM] love,unrequi: away from this system;
[09:42:41 PM] love,unrequi: this umbrella
[09:42:43 PM] love,unrequi: forever.
[09:42:57 PM] love,unrequi: i felt like the biggest fool on earth-
[09:43:04 PM] love,unrequi: never bothering to cherish anything;
[09:43:12 PM] love,unrequi: never stopping to take a better look;
[09:43:18 PM] love,unrequi: or take a bigger breath
[09:43:28 PM] love,unrequi: of the jc campus;
[09:43:36 PM] love,unrequi: but silently,
[09:43:40 PM] love,unrequi: wishing it would pass by,
[09:43:44 PM] love,unrequi: only to regret it
[09:43:48 PM] love,unrequi: the moment it all ended-
[09:43:58 PM] love,unrequi: the moment the examiner said
[09:44:00 PM] love,unrequi: 'ure dismissed'.
[09:44:06 PM] love,unrequi: days b4 my last paper ended
[09:44:12 PM] love,unrequi: when other pple cheered like theres no tmr;
[09:44:16 PM] love,unrequi: when their papers were over,
[09:44:17 PM] love,unrequi: i tot
[09:44:22 PM] love,unrequi: 'juz u wait..i'll b done soon'
[09:44:28 PM] love,unrequi: but when i sat down and thought abt it,
[09:44:34 PM] love,unrequi: an idea haunted me:
[09:44:39 PM] love,unrequi: i want this life to go on forever.
[09:44:45 PM] love,unrequi: i want to b a canditate
[09:44:50 PM] love,unrequi: forever

[09:45:37 PM] love,unrequi: while havin a tinge of guilt
[09:45:43 PM] love,unrequi: that im enjoying even tho the exams
arent over yet.

so here i am, 1st dec, on the nite of njc's prom, blogging online, ponning prom, as if it was a cool thing. it isnt. 'prom ponners pwn', my msn nick, is a facade; a mask i put on, to deceive myself; mebbe a dozen others, but 1 thing i cant change. i missed prom. the once in a lifetime experience; the last chance to get to see everyone from my cohort, together.

Looking at the prom pics from an NJC-ian's (or, more accurately, an ex-njcian's) website, i noticed that there was almost no nostalgia as opposed to what i thought i would have felt. in fact, i dunt know how to continue this post due to the loss of spontaneity of the situation..the next few lines shall attempt to redeem the senselessness of this post, which i have thoughts about removing.

Guys are going for NS soon: do take care of urselves realli. it'll be hell for the first few months but once we get thru it everything'll b fine. =) as for the galss,do enjoy ur free time away from sch, try to do smth constructive and upgrade urselves and prepare for uni. in wadever u do, i wish u the best. Excel in all future endeavours and accomplish what you only dared to dream of.the road of life is long and winding and, as our education so briefly and regretably ended, the nxt bend in the road would prove to be rocky and tedious indeed. never give up in whatever u do, and only say u cant do it when u've failed at least 10 times. when i was younger, they used to tell me jc is the best part of one's life..or at least for those who are going into jc at all. i agree with this statement: though i didnt get to stay in cj, the 3 months we spent had been great; a feeling that can never b manifested in any way ever again. whenever my cab passes by the lornie stretch, past cjc, i would tell myself: this is cjc, where i spent the best 3 months of my life in.

a tribute

this is actually more so for 1/2 t09 than t7. but nonetheless, i'll post it here.

its amazing how you people can actually sustain such a close bond after so long, going on outtings after outtings, its as if a whole entire family embracing one another is formed, and just by going out with you, i've been embraced into this family as well.

its a wonder how you keep this strong bond going in a JC class, after hearing from many of my friends about their 'back-stabbing-neck-slashing-son-of-a-mother' friends found in JC, i really start to wonder, why didnt i have such an experience? why wasnt i portrayed such an 'image' from you people. i guess its simple, you people, ARE DIFFERENT!

there's for you people, t09.

thru the times when one was down, another was holding that hand, supporting those tears. through the times that one had to rush out notes for the others, risking the chances of falling aslp in class, others would be nagging for bed time. when something happened, everyone was involved, be it in teasing, or in councelling, in making merry, or in crying together. maybe only one or two, but surely most was there. celebrations was never to be missed out, surprises after surprises, i sure had my fair share of them. being part and being one. it sure made everyone's day, to be celebrating and to be merrying. you did simple things, you did extravangant things, many didnt cost much, and much cost many, but still, the thought made it all worthwhile.

the simple things, the lile thoughts, the greetings, the things that hasnt been shown, kept you people strong together, even one from the outside, only joining in activities once in a blue moon, feel the warmth, the lile things that you do for each other, like a family, or maybe, just a zoo...... (ooops).. and that you've made a difference certainly in my life, certainly a light to a side that many students would like to live in through their JC life, even me, not being there, longs to join in.

here's to you teeonine, cheers!!! God bless and certainly study hard, you all can do it!!! take care!

Hey... just felt like posting something to you guys... i guess the slow breaking up was inevitable, we all have our own lives, our own committments, our own schools.. less time spent together just leads to weakening of the bonds we once had. But like they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and after leaving CJ for more than a year already, i still can't help but think back to the great times we had.. cheesy i know, but i just feel like saying this.

looked in my file today, and saw the post card that manda and ling wrote to me, don't know if you guys still remember it, and with it, i also remember that you two once complained that SA was super cannot make it and all that, but see? i bet you guys are doing fine there :) .

Call me stupid, but i guess i won't let go of the bond we once had, even if its only 1 way, i'll always remember the class that we were, that we still are perhaps, and i'll always hope that we can get together again.. how about a meeting during the june hols? heh.. wonder if people still read this blog even. but anwyays, i'll leave you guys a poem that i find to be rather apt, in a way.

The Gift Outright
The land was ours before we were the land's.
She was our land more than a hundred years
Before we were her people. She was ours
In Massachusetts, in Virginia,
But we were England's, still colonials,
Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,
Possessed by what we now no more possessed.
Something we were withholding made us weak
Until we found out that it was ourselves
We were withholding from our land of living,
And forthwith found salvation in surrender.
Such as we were we gave ourselves outright
(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)
To the land vaguely realizing westward,
But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,
Such as she was, such as she would become.

hope to see you guys soon! i'll always believe in the class that we were :)

but still, i'll never forget you (all), that smile(s), that laughters, that you(all)

hey all, again

this sunday!!! hope everyone got my sms. or does anyone even read this darn piece of site?!

well i guess its true that there are 5 stages to group form. and the last stage to it is in simple words, disbanding. is this so enthusiastic group that was so bend on wanting to remain close as ever going to disband? i dont know, or maybe i dont want to know, sometimes i realised that saying good bye isnt all that difficult, maybe its the subtle departure, distancing of ourselves from one another that leads to that feeling.

i do sometimes think, lets give it one more chance. so one more chance it shall be given, this sunday 3 pm at cityhall mrt! hope to see you there.. and i guess since the last gathering that ling and chels tried to org, they have already given up, looks like i m the only stubborn ass here that dares to try again... and it shall be my last too...

please u plead you, whoever that reads this anyway, reply to my sms!! or if u have changed ur no. dont run away from us.... hehe...

for these three that remains, faith, hope and love.

God bless

and so forget me too then....

and as some of us are turning 18, while some already long passed that and some just passed it, our *bows on awe and respect* dear queeen ling has suggested to have an outting in celebration of our deeeeearest friends, feb and march babies in the period of march. i do say that its rather late, but doesnt it call for a gathering of friends? and since all's done by the 21st of march, i mean ur hols do start then, why dont we meet up during that period of (my study break) time and party?

what say you then? please for you highness sake, tag for a reply, at least we would know the numbers and be able to finalise a time and date too... so in ur response to this include date or no.... thanks a gabillion!!!

and so with each passing moment,
with each passing person,
your face will vanish from my mind...

Walking Away
for Sean

It is eighteen years ago, almost to the day
A sunny day with the leaves just turning,
The touch-lines newly-ruled - since I watched you play
Your first game of football, then, like a satellite
Wrenched from its orbit, go, drifting away

Behind a scatter of boys. I can see
You walking away from me towards the school
With the pathos of a half-fledged thing set free
Into a wilderness, the gait of one
Who finds no path where the path should be.

That hesitant figure, eddying away
Like a winged seed loosened from its parent stem,
Has something I never quite grasp to convey
About nature's give-and-take - the small, the scorching
Ordeals, which fire one's irresolute clay.

I have had worse partings but none that so
Gnaws at my mind still. Perhaps it is roughly
Saying what God alone could perfectly show -
That selfhood begins with a walking away,
And love is proved in the letting go.

--C. Day Lewis

had a suckshit PC paper, but this poem made it that much more bearable..

how long more do i have to hear you say
that you miss her
and i have to, with a smile wish
you and her happily ever after.

do you see the broken smile painted
just for you to see?
do you hear the sound of heartbreak
of pain and jealousy?

your eyes light at the sight of her
coming your way
but you never did notice the girl with
words she could not say.

for you thought she was happy that
you've found a special one
since she used to pat your back and tell
you,"good luck, have fun."

did you ever notice how quickly she'd
turn her back
and look like she was busy with many
things to pack.

her pens and pencils would suddenly
multiply so fast
she's actually just waiting for the
hurt to pass.

she longs to look you in the eys and say
the things she keeps inside
but she knows you love another so
she won't even try.

my "happily ever after ending"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
Our memories are playing like a film with no sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, then we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

*Repeat chorus*

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

yeah i know i'm rather slow. after so long of, erm.. 'graduating' from cjc, and after the whole chuck of 'good bye' dedications and something like this pops up. its rather lag rite? but still i would like to say this lah...

through the time of like months i guess many of you have changed in one way or another, i too, darent deny the fact that i have changed, adapting to the environment around us. with the things happening in our lifes, be it good or bad, we are directly or indirectly affected by it. we face the changes of human character in our lifes everyday, in class or at home. with time tight on our hands, we are unable to catch up with old friends. i too, cant do so, i apologise..

but in this song, its really my wish for us. for us to say taht we would be friends for each other no matter what happens. but i guess that virtually impossible, with no time and much work at hand, we dun often catch up and meet. but for myself, just keep this in mind, that no matter what happens, (unless u steal my wife that is), u have a friend in me. if all of us could hold to that, i guess that would be a fairy tale ending in itself.. so yeah.. i dun expect that from happening...

remember, i still do care...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! from all of us in 07 :)

-ling

2004-09-01T23:59:00.000+08:00

heyy :)

firstly i realized that my friend KAT knows DAN! i only knew they were both in trinity but i had no idea that they'd get to know each other- after all she's in some high-powered medicine course that she's got to get 99% for or something. she's reallyyy clever. sigh. and haiya i want to run away and go to australia to study too.

secondly, i want to have a birthday party. actually its only because i want this cake that this one year old girl in my church had. ok this cake was, firstly, simply beautiful. it had real, fat, littleponies on it. as in the littleponies the kids central show yes. one of the littleponies was purple and it had damnbig painted eyes and blue hair. I WANT. and it had a castle. really. a delicate white cardboard castle. reallyyyy nice. the cake was gorgeous. i want i want. and it was huge. two kilos. my mom says i can have a one kilo cake (because one kilo costs 40 bucks and that cake cost like 100something) but i figure that a one kilo cake won't be able to fit all the ponies and castle and flowers (ya got flowers somemore)

my sister's not very helpful, she wants a barbie doll cake.

anyway yes i decided that i might have a party so i can have an excuse to get a cake like that :) actually haha its because i want to have a picnic. yeah. like the geogsoc people in my school. have you ever gone to a picnic? anyway there's a park right outside my house. so if it rains you can come back. and if you need more food its also really near. nice trees. playground. and you can all meet my four dogs :)

yeah i only ever had parties when i was about... primary one? or two or three. and there's another catch- my house isn't very nice :( it has a GREEN gate and yellow curtains. ... but never mind la k.

hmm.. is it an okay idea?? will yu all come? :/ hope it's not too forward of me to bring up an idea like that. picnic and barbeque haha. and i couldn't come yeserday cos it was my dad's birthday.. hope you guys had fun!

study hard for promos? hope the different-education people (mark and dan) are reLaxing without promos to study for? :) all the besttt.. i just got my promo timetable. take care all.

ok i am not good at using this blogspot thingy so im praying hard that this blog will show. i have not read the last few entries except the lastest one (sorry i didnt notice who wrote it). i think the travelling thing is cool...but i highly doubt your parents will allow..maybe mine might not too..but but..we could all go to melbourne!!!then i dont have to travel??? ok that was selfish...how about an end year reunion party or something?? (not at my house). maybe we can get a chalet or something...but must we dress up???will look very...hmmm...but i think its best if it stays casual yea??imagine if its formal...then amanda and chelsa will go shopping again. and i and gonna bet that they'll get more than just dresses..or gowns or whatever u call that thing u wear for proms..and their parents will feel the financial pain...although they will help the economy of singapore...ok im going off the point.anyway all im saying is maybe a simple BBQ...or another chalet stay might do...nothing formal...just one of those end year parties.

been like busy training/studying(lil bit, ok, not really) so havn't posted
anyways, for those intersted, this is what the rankings looked like for the open category, compound class (mine), NUS Invitational Indoor Archery Championship..

1. Leow Ting How 578 (out of 600) -----> undisputed champion, he's damn good
2. Ray dunnosomeshit 555 ------> shoulda beaten him, don't really like him..
3. ME 553 ------> first time winning in open, and its kinda like almost my PB score (560)

so thats one medal for the first day, i'm super on form, on a roll. now for the team knockout round..
my team was top seed, we had the 3rd, 4th and 8th placed archers in my team, the 4th place guy is kinda like my coach, so really happy to beat him :)..

anyways, since we were top seed, we got "bye"s all the way to the quarterfinals. (walkover, cos not enough teams, hence highest seeds go through preliminary rounds)

quarterfinal score was 235, beating the other team by 2 points (shot like shit)
semifinal score was 253, beating the other team by 9 points (getting better)
final score was 258, whacking the other team by a shit load of points.. like more than 10, forgot :)

the finals was against the team with that Ray dude, so felt really good!

Final Result, 1 Gold (team), 1 Bronze. good competition, best this year..

kinda funny, just an add on.. during the prize giving, they gave the individual compound archers(mens) the womens trophy.. the announcer then said "theres been a small mistake".. yup, small mistake, very minor, like the loss of an organ only... but its all good. also, i conclude that NUS people can't spell. "Compound" was spelt as "Compund". kinda funny really :D at least they got the team medals right

time to go sleep, got CTs later today, econs to be exact, good luck to all!! for me, i'm just praying that i get 4 AO passes.. oh well 8)

Bing (Time Check: 12.52 am)
P.S. See ya'll soon!!

2004-06-26T13:16:00.000+08:00

yepp! me and chel were talking the other day and we thought of sooooo many plans for this end of year! parties galore! ahhh it'll be so fun.. i know it's kinda early to plan now..but we couldn't help thinking of PLAY and ENJOYMENT in the midst of mugging... haha.. so here it is...Proposal 1 for 1T07 Christmas celebrations'04 :

1. x'mas dinner at someone's house (like chel's whose house has an amazing ambience for a cosy get-together..haha) oh yes...we cook OURSELVES. have this wonderful sit-down formal dinner with appetizers, main course, desert etc etc and we could end off with watching a horror movie all huddled together. then exchange presents, of course! heeex. how does that sound? cosyyyy right??

2. theme party! (self-explanatory.)

3. (ok don't murder me but i think it'll be nice)-1T07 photoshoot
me and my friends wanted to have this professional photoshoot done last year..it'll be really nice..with all ur close friends...then u compile all the pics and put them in a photo album which'll go down memory lane! yepps. i'll try and get my dad to do it for us (he's a photographer)...or we could do it ourselves..haha..welll...i noe u guys aren't really big fans of photo taking...but........it's just a suggestion!

4. Go on cruise! (also self-explanatory)

wells..how's it? so exciting right? wheeeee....i can't wait for the holidays!!!.... :) :) :)

gomen! gomen! i havn't been posting here, but seriously, nothing much to talk about my hols. the only highlight was the second week, where we had some fun.. anyways my life during the hols: sleep, wake, watch tv, use comp, train, sleep, go out(a few times)
take a combination of about 4 of the above for any one day, pretty much settles it.
for example: wake, train, use comp, sleep, or wake, train, go out, sleep
something like that, very interesting eh?
also note that "study" has no... "block" in my "schedule".. i'm screwed.
competition later today, time now being 2:45am. my comp is at.. 1:30pm, so i think i'll go sleep now!
wish me luck. i'll win something for you guys mmkay?

training today at ACS(I) was damn fun, though it lasted for 5 hrs.

our coach was also the coach of ACS Junior and ACS(I), which meant that 3 teams (SA and both ACS) were training together.

this damn cute little primary school boy decided to "pon" one of the drills by "burying" himself in shuttles. when coach called "chester" he was smart enough to answer. so much for hiding.

and then when we called coach as coach, the primary school kids went "andrew chong! andrew chong!" kids.

anyhows, training today was damn funny. heh heh. can't wait for the next one =)

hi guys! i know i havent blogged or tagged in ages, but i do read the class blog :) i actually wanted to blog the other day but i was talkin to some of u on msn & well...haha it was rather difficult to do both at the same time la.

During cip last sat, while raking leaves in the garden of the home (hmm sounds like fun doesnt it? haha it wasnt that bad though), the ext7ers got round to talking about missing the pple who are not in t09 now. jaimes said immy n him in class, really dead now. and right after that i ran off with jo to help sarah & bean.

I dont think its dead in class now, still fun. its just different from the time we had together in the 1st three months- but then again its really hard to measure up to that isnt it. and of course i still miss it, i miss all u guys :) the biggest diff can be seen during cl class, its super quiet now with just 6 pple- a stark diff from the cl class of the 1st 3 mths where the teacher was terrorized & laughter was extremely rampant! haha :D
& pple have changed too. i think almost everyone has changed somehow. yeah.

& i really wanna go out with u guys. but i dont think ill be able to go out anymore- training, gotta read othello & caretaker before the exams haha. had my farewell to freedom dinner already on mon. ya it sucks. ill miss u guys la, ill be out with you all in spirit haha. but ill be very free in july... :)looking forward to that.

lots of luv,

Ataris - I Remember You

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain,
The wind would whisper and I'd think of you.
And all the tears you cried, that called my name.
And when you needed me I came through.

I paint a picture of the days gone by,
When love went blind and you would make me see.
I'd stare a lifetime into your eyes.
So that I knew that you were there for me,
Time after time, you were there for me.

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand, I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day,
I'd wanna hear you say, I remember you.

We spend the summer with the top rolled down,
Wished ever after would be like this.
You said "I love you babe," without a sound.
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss.
I'd live for your smile, and die for your kiss.

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand, I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day.
I'd wanna hear you say, I remember you.

We've had our share of hard times,
But that's the price we paid.
And through it all, we kept the promise that we made.
I swear you'll never be lonely.

Woke up to the sound of pouring rain,
Washed away a dream of you.
But nothing else could ever take you away,
'Cause you'll always be my dream come true,
Oh my darling, I love you!

Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand, I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day.
I'd wanna hear you say,
I remember, I remember you

IMMY:that was such a sweet post la, sucker u!it's that kinda of post where you read it and smile and yet wanna cry as nostalgia washes over you. gosssh.

on the other hand, (coincidentally), i was thinking about it too when i was bathing in the toilet just now. haha. yeah. was just thinking of the time we shared. . .some are just so vivid memories that i can almost picture it happening again in my mind. it's scary la. like Mr T's lit group project. . .the one where we wrote our own script and acted it out. heck, i still remember everyone's script please; not to forget my group's original(ahem) and rather improntu one that turned out pretty hilarious. this thought led me to think about hica naia. sighs. i miss T07 soooo much. i'd never forget how chel chose that name hica naia with me. still hear her voice echoing the exact words she said in my head . grrr. freaky. that thought led me on to think about how much i miss CHELSA---> read it chell!!! haha. hmm, thank God for such a darling like her. and luckily we do call each other pretty often to whine and bitch about random particular stuff. oh yes, and pour out our woes on how much we're missing the greatest class ever formed - 1T07.

remember new year's potluck? seems just like yesterday to me. i remember sitting up in the gallery(in the hall) and cheering immy on for band and how he was giding behind the curtain. lolz. then remember the bottle of sparkling wine which the guys took and got "drunk" with? our first class outing at somerset - pool? grrrrr. helllp. go re-visit imagestation and look at the pics we've taken again. . .you'll realise how depressing it is to re-live the good times.

I always knew I'd look back on the times I cried, and laugh; I never knew I'd look back on the times I laughed, and cry.

tt day i was sitting outside the ex-t07 classroom with some friends cos i ponned some lecture. i could imagine how everyone would be like in the 1st 3 mths. remembered where i sat. remembered who sat where and who did what and so on. then on friday iwas out with some of the ex 07-ers. i just realised that those who left have made a significant impact in the class. i cannot face the fact that the 1st 3 months are over now. school is still fun, no doubt. but its different now. all the people have changed in one way or another. the words mushy and immy dont exactly mix. whatever. anyways, this might be the 12904812312948th time someone saying "i miss 1st 3 months". But i'm saying this for the 12904812312949th time because the 1st 3 months have given me memories to ponder about for a long long time. like revelations. and hica naia.

- immy.

ok guys, did u know that ling* has the privilege of posting the 100th post? now is that cool or what?

anyways, yesterday was service to college day - which meant that the whole school was supposed to clean parts of the school. which made my mum ask :"ling, u don't even do housework and now u're helping to clean the school? don't make ur classmates laugh when they see you holding a mop." thanks mum.

help. now she thinks that 1 hr of "cleaning" meant that i could help out in the housework in future.

after service to college, i headed to town with my friend, cos she was waiting for someone whilst i was waiting for my mum. walked round wisma and taka before we were at orchard station. the mini NJ invasion was overwhelming, and this damn dao NJ girl came up to us, shoved the tin in my face and like, "pls donate".

ok anyways, bought a new pair of nike slippers from nike women. it isn't exactly the pair that i wanted my mum to buy it for me but wells. better than nothing.

and yup, i finally watched troy! okok, slap me, i'm damn slow i know. watching troy when everyone goes like, have you watched shrek 2 yet?.

smoofgoof.

oh biatch. this is extremely insulting. you wrote down on my lit assignment that i have no idea how to go about writing a lit essay and CONSULT you if i need help. oh my dear phoofs, u need help. i have no idea how to write a lit essay? goodness. i only fail when u mark my paper. thanks for being my prac crit teacher and destroying my lit grades. if you were as good as mag low, or of the same standard as those guests during lit symposium, trust me to be dying and begging at your feet to give me consultation sessions. thing is, you're no where near that mark, not even a smoofgoof. the fact that you're even a prac crit teacher makes me laugh. a total joke please. maybe i should write comment for u, you vocabulary recycler.

ok guys, who's blog is the idlemusing one?

anyways -

h e l p

ms kay's back. chinese teacher's on one week paternal leave.

SA has never been so slack.

with the "reappearance" of our dah-ling ms k, there goes my life. from spending those free periods slacking in the cafe, or in the library, to this.

packing our stuffs even before the bell rings because we don't want to be late. buttoning our collar button and adjusting our tie, and the guys combing their hair and making sure their fringes don't seem too long.

nad said that lit tutorial class looked weird. of course it did - we haven't been into B31 for mon lit lessons for 3 weeks already.

life has gone back the way it should have.

and then mdm habiba and her way too teeny tiny words on those geog transparencies. those endless squinting and copying and groaning and complaining that we can't see those transparencies.

jasmin: this is a geog lect, NOT a penmanship(spell?) class.

help.

2004-05-22T17:23:00.000+08:00

fri we got our common test timetable which means that my june hols will be burnt out. oh yay.

which means i have to be self-discipline - by going on hiatus

which prolly means that you won't get to see ling anymore.

bye world.

but seriously, who cares whether i'm around or not.

gosh. just for some stupid common tests.

but ling really wants to watch Shrek 2.

anyone up for it?

nah.

i'll just spend those 20 odd days of june cooped up at home, studying long hours away and the next time i reappear, i'll look 80.

great. my plans.

all because i failed my econs test - my econs teacher rocks you see.

ok, been there, done that. bye world.

i'll see how long this will last.

i didn't change. you did.

I lied just a little
When I said I need you
You stretched the truth
When you said that you knew
Just can't believe it
There's nothing to say
I was almost honest, almost

Living alone, can't stand this place
It's four in the morning and I still see your face

I was nearly pure
When I said I loved you
You were semi-sincere
You said I'd bleed for you
We were kind of candid
Now you're gone away
You were almost honest, almost

Living alone, falling from grace
I want to alone but there's just empty space
I can't face tomorrow, now you're not coming back
Walked off in the night and just left me the tracks

I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happened that night when you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame, I don't know

Almost, almost honest
Almost, I was almost honest

-------------------------------------
what i wrote above has absolutely nothing to do with my current mood, so don't worry k? the bing is still happy and all :). anyways, i seem to have this way of making people not wanna hang up on me, funky isn't it? must be my innate charisma or something 8). anyways, last friday was LING'S BDAY! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO DIDN'T GO!!! actually, i'm just kidding. (about the shame on you part). i think everyone was there in spiiiirit!! hmm, saturday was kinda fun, i went to shop for a prsent for this friend of mine, and i went with 2 other friends of mine who were sharing this present, anyways, one of them was a guy, and the other a gal. so why am i tellign you this? cos the guy likes the gal, and he's super super super cunning :). there was this plan see, i meet all of them at 12:30, orchard MRT< then we go shop for a bag, then he gets to spend time with her. THEN, he said "lets go for a movie", knowing beforehand that i couldn't go, (told him the night before). and being the cunning guy that he is, we all went to lido, (i played along) where we were queueing up for ticks. then, i suddenly "remembered" that i couldn't make it. hence he gets a movie "date" with the gal. super cunning right? :)

hmm, i still have to do this south east asian history essay, its overdue by 3 weeks... the teacher is coming back from reservist. i'm screwed :) also, i can't believe i got second in class for my math test, 24/35!! :) and i only did 25 marks worth of questions, so i'm really proud of myself. math seems to be the only thing i'm doing right htis term, my lit/gp/history are absolutely horrendous, and i don't know why... hopefully it gets better.

hmm, thats all for this post, see you guys soon! and hopefull we'll get the class chalet thing. if not, we can always crash mark's house :)

2004-05-16T23:40:00.000+08:00

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said

Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again,
She repeats let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We'll never end 'til we're dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

How could this be happening to me
I'm lying when I say "Trust me"
I can't believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffeing

Absolutely nothing we trust

it's may now, and technically, it has been 3 mths since the start of term, and though i hated SA way back in march, it's getting better day by day.

Reasons why ling* thinks SA has gotten much better
1. DOLLY, ALICIA and pentium I as cafe (caf) buddies.
2. ZARIA the zebra as my tutorial buddy.
3. 2 "kosong" pratas
4. similar white aprons for everyone tending the indian store
5. FRY-day
6. pappadum
7. the indian uncle giving 3 scoops of curry with one potato
8. the oh-so-cute fruit stall uncle who goes "five-ty cents girl" and gives a purple straw.
9. apple orange juice with nata
10. the pretty-in-her-own way western stall auntie
11. the chicken wings and nasi lemak chilli.
12. the SC =)
13. last minute cancelled lessons
14. trainings twice a week cos there's jac who is so like some cartoon character.
15. watching movies in the library.
16. my pe teacher, mr ong, who decides our PE depending on the weather.
17. raining on almost every pe lesson.
18. weiliang acting gay and practicing his dance moves in class and his partner Andre who is forever out of point and lame. Like how he sold all his band tickets and is now left with none.
19. lin lao shi - who said i was lousy and how he does his hairstyle in a floppy manner.
20. lin lao shi - on how he calls gladys (pang pang) and my neighbour denise (mud yoyo) and how he just makes chinese lessons damn interesing lah. =)

the weather was really crap today - it was so hot but thank god our classrooms are airconditioned. though u know sometimes it gets really cold, but for a weather like this, it's helpful.

the teachers in SA are like slack to the core. i had 3 blocks of break today cos mr lian (yes, no typo) my geog teacher didn't come today, and therefore, our 2 blocks of geog lect was free =)

ok anyway, PW is dreadful but fun - just mainly like my grp members - fen, alicia, nad, win. damn funny pple, especially fen, coming with wierd ideas. =)

dolly sent me this sms - it was part of her sappy love week.

A girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty.
He said no.
She asked him if he would want to be with her forever.
And he said no.
She then asked him if she were to leave, would he cry?
And once again he replied with a no.
She had heard enough.
As she walked away, tears streaming down her face, the boy grabbed her arm and said...

"You're not pretty, you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever, I need to be with you forever. And I wouldn't cry if you walked away, I'd die..."

manda! the song is damn cute =) i absolutely love it!

ok, on sat had flag day, considering the fact that i had to rush down to outram park mrt station after my match at tampines sports hall. made it just on time but was somewhat a little late cos dolly was late - apparently she got lost in the mrt station itself.

so we went to novena to sell our flags for about 1.5 hours in the hot sun before heading to marche to have lunch at a inhumane time of 3.30pm. ate for about an hour before dolly and i headed back to outram to return our bags.

after which, i headed down to my gran's cos i havent seen her in eons and guess what was the first thing she said to me - "U're so dark now! In school do u sit indoor or outdoor for lessons? - well it was actually in teochew but yah, my auntie translated it for me. but i thought that statement was really cute. haha.

anyways, happy mothers' day to all mothers out there! =)

Walking through a winter night,
Counting the stars
And passing time
I dream about the summer days,
Love in the sun
And lonely bays
I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love,

On one of these lonely winter nights
Dreaming through a winter night,
Memories of you are passing by
It seems to me like yesterday
I think you knew I couldn't stay
I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love

Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Walking through a winter night,
Counting the stars
And passing time
Snow dances with the wind
I wish, I could be with you again
I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love

Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love

Hmmmm, the past few days have been really busy for me, and kinda fun too...

on friday, my lessons ended at 510, after which i went down to victoria concert hall for RJ's choir concert, met my friends there, and pido as well, how coincidental right? :P after that, i was walking around with my old buddies, and we were deciding where to eat... ended up walking around, going nowhere, and i got seperated from them and just went home... kinda funny, we walked to mcdonald's first, but then it was like full and no one really wanted to eat mcdonalds, so we were thinking where to go.... then somebody suggested cafe cartel which is where we went. but then, a small group wanted to stay at mcdonalds, so i decided to keep them company, while the rest went to cartel... then, the group which was at mcdonalds decided to go cartel as well. so we walked to city hall. heres the funniest part, when we reached city hall, we realised it was the last train, so we all ran for it, got on, and went home. i ended up eating cup noodles at 7-11, 12:30am ;)

then on saturday, i had to go to RI to coach some BB boys archery. I only have one thing to say: they don't understand the word "cooperate". i can't believe how they totally ignored basic range safety precautions, such as not loading your bow when there are people on the range. and they were like stuck-up, obnoxious, and basically didin't follow instructions. combined with my lack of sleep, it wasnt' the best of coaching sessions. i kinda like sleep-walked through it in the humid weather. oh wlel, the pay was good though :). so after coaching, i went home for nap, then i went to town to meet my friend for pool, since we were going to this chinese orchestra concert. (his girlfriend was performing, so he wanted me to accompany him there as no one else wanted to go). coincidentally, i met sarah, amira, joanna and olivia at meridien, as i was walking there. the situation was kinda funny, i was on the lower "bazaar" like walkway, and they were up on the pavement next to the main road. like an enclosure :). hope i'll see you guys soon, (might crash on monday since i have no school)

anyways, went for CO concert, which ended at 10, then waited with my friend for his GF to come out, then we went for supper at lau par sat. man, that place is crowded, really crowded. and there were people like pimping out satay, constantly trying to make us patronise their stalls. ended up queueing for like 20 minute sfor ice kacang, ate some satay, then elft the place, went to raffle's MRT, took the last train to outram, then transferred to NEL, and took the last train to harborfront, where i took the last bus back home... (so many lasts..) and now, i'm at home, blogging, yet strangely not tired.

really miss you guys! hopefully i'll see all of you sooooooooon, (like monday)

ling failed her math lecture test. 11.5/25. the next test will be my progress test, which will be counted in my promos which means if i fail it, that's it.

am in the school library now, cos it's break. skipped math lect yest and they took attendance. 5 of my classmates skipped it and yah, my math teacher's going to pass our names to my CT, who is really slack and yah, it's going to be our first offence.

btw, did i mention that my econs mcq test yesterday is kinda screwed? my whole class did the test through elimination. we don't even know our facts. thing is, i have an econs essay test coming up later in the day and yes, kill me now cos i'll just fail it as well. help.

chapel today was done by manda's class! yipeeyay! it was kinda fun lah. liked the chewy chewy song. so cute, like some kindergarden thing.

hi ai ling your chinese teacher sounds quite off. like cos he won't let you play music or eat solid food or take pictures! but otherwise it sounds like a great idea! i shall include it in my PW project which we're doing on chinese :) but well i think my chinese teacher's nice. and i hate chinese. and yeahh chel and i's chinese teacher's damn funky. anyway dinner on friday? i have training :( sounds like fun though! hmm i think its just fantastic that our class is still close :) that people do post here relatively often. that we kind of get the chance to hear about what's happening with each other- specially for those people who closed down their blogs/never bothered with them. and check out the song that bing likes - through her eyes. it's so sad. sigh. and i know what it's like to lose someone you love. and ling hope you're better now from your stoning :/

he makes me feel like it's raining outside
and when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside

i don't want to play this game with you. i know you'll hurt me. i don't think i'm such a big tough chick. and i pretend i don't care when i really do. so so much. someone told me that i was going to get hurt. i think it was bing. when i once shared with him my philosophical idealistic and entirely theoretical notions of a relationship. like the only kind that i would ever want. and i thought i could handle it but i don't think so anymore i don't want to play anymore. love is not a fucking game. i'm scared. but i can't help the way i feel.

xiu you better not fall in love.

everythings better when he's around.
i'll never forget tonight.
hanging out behind the club on the weekend
acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
he's the one, he'll always be there
he took my hand and that made it i swear

kudos to manda, dinner on fri is what i'm thinking of too since we end at the same time and all. hahaha. chinese lessons was really hilarious, and i mean HILARIOUS. my oh-so-lame chinese teacher wrote "ye can" (picnic) on the board and it got everyone excited. guess what. my class, 04A41 is going to have a picnic at this grass patch just behind the computer centre next mon. how lame can that get. and the rules he gave us was, no bringing of "solid food", no tempting of the other saints with our food, no camera, no cards, no music. it's called a picnic and we're supposed to take note of every action we do on mon so that we could write compo on it the next period. talk about having a weird chinese teacher.

She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstance

Now that I've become aware
And I've exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw the writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate

In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as i cried
Like part of me had died

I'm learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes

And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As i lay awake in bed

And i know what it's like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same

She wasn't given any chance
Desperation stole her voice
I've been given so much more in life
I've got a son, I've got a wife

I had to suffer one last time
To grieve for her and say goodbye
Relive the anguish of my past
To find out who i was at last

The door has opened wide
I'm turning with the tide
Looking through her eyes

hey guys.. read this at a forum.. its about sch.. but the advice dun really take seriously lah.. have a good laugh.. and wonder how bings gets his 'A's and how i can slack in POLY! meheheheh... :D

~`~`~`~`~`~`

I read this a while back....

This is true no matter which university you go to (or where u study at):

Before I came to college I wish I had known . . . . . . .

That it didn't matter how late I scheduled my first class,
I'd sleep through it anyway.
That I could change so much and barely realize it.
That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
That college kids throw airplanes too.
That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so dressed up.
That every clock on campus shows a different time.
That if you were smart in high school, so what?

That I would go to a party the night before a final.
That I could sleep until 12:55 and still make my 1:00 class.
That my best friend is the worst roommate.
That you can know everything and fail a test.
That you can know nothing and ace a test.

That I would never watch the news, and I would be totally out
of touch with the world happenings.
That Home is a great place to visit, But I wouldn't want tolive there.

That the more money your parents give you, the less you have
every time you check your account!!
That parties get old, and sometimes you just want to kick
back and watch a movie.
That most of my education would be obtained outside of class.
That friendship is more than getting drunk together, but I met
most of my friends through drinking.
That I would be one of those people that my parents warned me
about.
That the free food server until 10 is gone at 9:50.
That you could be totally broke, but still have enough to go
to a bar!
That I would go home every weekend my Freshman year.

That I would laugh at all the Freshman going home every
weekend my Senior year.
That Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.

That Psychology is really Biology. That biology is really
Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics and that Physics
is really Math.
That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few years.
That it's possible to be alone even when you are surrounded by
friends.
That friends are what makes this place worthwhile!

hey guys. . .sorry haven't posted in awhile. anyways, can't wait to see ya'll tomorrow. . .must come k? so it's 1pm at dhoby ghaut right?

it's 1.30 in the afternoon now but i'm not in school coz i'm sick! damn. . .i hate this flu/fever/cough thing. . .rrrrr. just read the dolce vita love story as recommended by so many of you. . .hmm. . .typical love story kind where the girl dies. . . ironic isn't it? in the story it claims that only fairy-tale romances happen in movies. . .reality is reality. yet, it in itself is a typical movie-kind of romance story already right. . .(just think :a walk to remember) yeah. . .sad la. . .but this storyline used too many times already. . .although you still do tear and get emotional after reading/watching it. . .it's like everything becomes predictable. . .the element of surprise is no longer there. . . but guys!! you should pay attention to the story. . .what they wrote inside is very true about girls. . .the parts about you all being romantic and sweet. . .haha. IMPORTANT ok. . .i shall analyse it for you. . .
3 don'ts
-don't forget to be romantic
-don't be too honest
-don't be too stingy on the sugar of your speech

haha. . .find it quite weird how the last point it phrased though. . .lol. but yeah. . .it's quite true. . .being romantic is almost a prerequisite for every guy or relationship. . .lolz. 2nd, ignorance is bliss. . .so not revealing too much may be better sometimes. . .keyword: SOMETIMES only. 3rd, self-explanatory. . . haha.

kidding la. . .you guys in class already so sweet. . .aHhhhHh. . .haha. yup.miss you all loads can. . .

ling. . .you ponned volleyball match? haha. i didn't. . .you should have gone. . .it was crazy man! and emi. . .were you there??

i have econs test next week. . .shall we go out and study together? or should i say, attempt to study together. . helllppp. . .it's on demand and supply. . .and that's exactly the chapter that we ponned like mad back in cjc in the last week right? rRrr. . .regretting it now. . .coz i'm so lost. . .yet, i love econs. . .what kind of stupid irony is that right? and guess what. . .only now is SA starting on practical criticism. . .as in you know like. . .diction, imagery. . .etc. yeah. . .in cjc we covered that long ago. . .lolz. from what me other friends say, other jc's didn't give proper lit foundation in the 1st 3 months. . .compared to them ar. . .i think cjc's lit syllabus for us wasn't slack at all lor. . .in fact it was rather comprehensive. . .but hey. . .that's a good thing. . .i don't feel so lagging. . .haha.

anyway... really can't wait to see you all tomorrow. . .come come come!

ok, so i was telling selina and pee about that guy in the library - no it isn't anything good and i shan't say anything further cos a blog is somewhat like a public place =)

so anyways, today, the J1s got to be released at 12.10 to go to toa payoh sports hall to support our girls' volleyball team who are going to play against Anderson (looks at emi). It's the finals btw, but i contemplated whether i shld go support my fellow saints or i shouldn't.

in the end, i decided not to (considering the fact that i'm still in the library at this time), the match starts at 1.10 and i'm late already. decided to go for math tuition instead, cos there's a math test tml and i have absolutely no idea what's going on. so yah, first impressions count and i shan't let my math teacher (who's a major bitch) to look at me and say you don't have the attitude for math, go drop it. This is virtually her favourite line in my class

right now, dolly and alicia are watching movies in the library. i wanna watch sth too but all the tellys are taken up already.

anyways, see you kids on sat =)
