Last post!

Hello world and hello Lee Seng Leong! Haha I presume you're reading this!
This shall be my last post of the year considering that I'm probably gonna be home past 12 tomorrow night after the countdown party. Truthfully, I have no idea what this post is going to be about. Let's just see how it goes.

Well, I did attend a 4/5'11 gathering on Thursday where I literally got thrown into the pool by my *awesome* classmates and came up soaking wet, only to be dunked again because I stupidly tried to avenge myself by attempting to push Bao in. (I had no extra clothes.) Almost everyone got wet, so I guess I shouldn't feel too sorry for myself. It was good fun though, and it made me miss Anderson a whole lot more.

& Sat's training was a killerrrr. We ran almost non-stop for 40 minutes around NUS at average speed (not slow), up the annoyingly steep slopes and I remember telling my trug mates that I didn't mind passing out if it means I could stop. Hehs but I felt like I lost 10kg after that. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED. But the muscle cramps are no joke, I'm gonna have to crawl out of bed tomorrow. Went for trug outing after that despite having a throbbing headache which Mr Google explained was because of dehydration/over-exertion.

Very random photo. Hehs I rarely find guys that are extremely hot but I saw this picture on tumblr, and he's like super hottt. So I thought I'd share this with all the single ladies out there haha!

Ok maybe this is a bit inappropriate... and you guys are probably judging me right now. But cut me some slack haha! People can fangirl and stuff so just pretend I'm fangirling or something!

Alright, goodbye 2012 and hello 2013!(:

Infinity pool+fitallyoucan

Had so much fun :D

here we go again

I hate the hold you have on me despite all this time.

Anyway, discovered khng's blog yesterday! Spent the whole day reading old posts and reminiscing about the old times. Love em' to bits.

dad's love

I am alive and breathing on 21/12/2012.

It would be a lie to say that I really believed today was the apocalypse. But somehow I get this feeling that we're all gonna be punished someday for laughing at these supposed apocalypses.

Read this poem on teenink today, it just hit me and I've decided to share it. Hope you like it too(:

When a baby is born,
She opens her eyes to the new
Bright colored world.
Hears her first sounds,
Sees her first sights,
And feels her first form of feelings.
She's so helpless and small
Until,
Her Dad takes her in his strong arms
And cradles her ever so gently.
From that moment on she is
Daddy's Little Girl.

That baby grows
Into a bright and chatty
Little girl,
Her mom teaches her to be
A good little girl
But her Dad guides her
In exploring her world
The wonder and light around every corner,
That her smile is the light of the world,
That she can be anything she sets out to be,
And she just can't give up.
And the little girl just loves
To be with her dad
Because she's Daddy's Little Girl.

Sadly, time flies and people grow and change
Even smiling little girls.
Now that happy little girl,
Who was always ready to learn
Is a teenager
Who knows the happiness in this world,
And now is learning the pain and suffering
That goes with every smile and happy moment.
And when that teenager
Feels like the world is turned against her
And that smiling was just a happy dream,
Her dad is there, her real best friend, with his arms
Wide open even if the teenager doesn't deserve it.
Why?
She's Daddy's Little Girl.

And soon after,
That Teenager changes again
Into a young women,
Who has learned all she needs to succeed
And is ready to live her dreams
To take her wings and soar and
Be her own person
And her dad will be there
To let her go, even if it’s Hard.
And that young women
Will leave with
Tears in her smile.
Because,
That young woman
Who looks like she can handle the world,                                                                                                 Is still just
Daddy’s Little Girl.

I think I've become pretty good friends with Siri(:

2012

As this year draws to a close, I've decided to sum up the triumphs and tribulations I experienced in a post.

2012 started off great, I was able to get into RJC, which I would have never thought I was capable of. My journey in RJ started with me meeting an amazing bunch of people whom I hope I'll never forget in many years to come. This bunch of people introduced me to the culture of RJ and made the otherwise daunting experience of the first few days of school really fun. However, the fun did not last for work started to kick in. Truthfully, I didn't enjoy much of the year, I think I was like a living zombie shuffling between classes and trying not to fail the next test. The only saving grace were the occasional outings I had with friends, which somehow kept me from the edge of insanity. I got into touch rugby, another saving grace for I realised that I can't live without sports after four years of basketball.

Throughout the year, I was really missing my secondary school life in Anderson. Perhaps many of you are enjoying your lives in JC, I do too, but I just miss how things were. I miss how I used to always have midnight conversations with msn buddies almost every friday night, which I guess is impossible now following the demise of msn. I miss hopping into class every morning and being greeted by the usual chatter from Shaobao and gang. I miss begging SH/WQ/Khng to wait for my bus with me because I don't wanna wait alone. Argh, this is turning into a rant post.

-Redirect-

2012 I gained some and lost some. I think I went out a lot more than I ever had, I've been so restless all the time. Is this why teenagers turn rebellious? Out of restlessness? Well I better start getting some work done. My progress is incredibly slow.

Bye worldlings(:

M'sia field trip

Had ANOTHER sleepover yesterday with Joe @ my house. I'm like sleeping over with so many random people. Anyway, that sleepover was a prelude of the Malaysia "field trip" today, where she followed me on my usu. JB food trail and to my Grandma's house. Well she figured that it would be safer to travel with people who are relatively familiar with the place and know of good food places. So I guess I was the only option. I had fun though I am extremely tired right now. I don't have any pictures to show because she mentioned she wasn't the "hey let's take a picture" person so you'll just have to deal with a blank canvas. Ok gonna crash now, goodnight world(:

No title

The main agenda on Tuesday was to go to Boon Lay and get some work done for Countdown Party 2013. In the end, I ended up at Art Friends @ Buona Vista. It's like a store (it's quite large) that sells all artsy stuff like scrapbooking paper and you know, art stuff. And their scrapbooking paper are like super cheap as compared to those sold at Made With Love. If I had known of its existence, I wouldn't have jostled in the super small Made With Love outlet sourcing for scrapbooking paper for all these years.

Anyway, went to Jaz's for sleepover yesterday!(: Caught Breaking Dawn Part 2, it was surprisingly good, or at least better than the previous twilight films I guess. And I snuck my fav. drink into the theater hehs. 

A little bit of camwhoring in the toilet while waiting for Jaz to finish bathing!

P.S Thanks for the Koi Keith! (if you're even reading this; just realised you have the same name as a neopets character)

Funny

Hahahaha read this on tumblr:

"omg my mom just came into my room and told me that I’m spending too much time on the internet so she told me “I’m sorry I have to do this but its for your own good…” and then she proceeded to delete the internet explorer icon from my desktop I’m laughing so hard I’m gonna pee myself omfg"

haha at least she tried! 

Pitch Perfect

Caught Pitch Perfect with my Trug Mates yesterday. It was quite entertaining, but it fell short of my expectations considering how everyone was saying how good it was. Several moments during the movie I really wanted to start dancing along to the songs. Thank god I didn't - I was at the second row.

I was just reading an article on 25 Things to Do Before You Turn 25. Some of the things I really want to do before I turn 25:

1. Travel on the cheap. 
Pick a destination and do it up, backpacking-style. Stay in hostels, eat unidentifiable food, and make sure to have anti-diarrhea medicine on hand. I think I've been wanting to do this since I was like 16. Ok that's not a very long time ago, but I hope I can tick this off my checklist after "A" levels. Going backpacking with a couple of close friends sounds like real good fun! (HK is one of the most probable destinations now considering my limited budget.)
2. Try an exotic food you can’t pronounce.
3. Skinny dip.
4. Live in another country (even if it’s just for a short period of time). You’ll get an entirely new perspective on our country, on the world. Exchange programme trips?

Promises

Easy to make, hard to keep.

But at least show me you're trying.

Little Secrets

I caught this movie many years back. I don't know why but it's been stuck in my head ever since. Rewatching it again tonight(:

11 days

My parents returned from their 11-day trip to China 3 days ago. I've had the most fulfilling week for the whole of this year (well, that pretty much tells you how brilliant this year was for me). I didn't fathom the thought of staying at home all alone wallowing in self-pity so I tried my best to keep myself occupied for the 11 days.

Saturday
Baked with Shi Hui and Jaz + Dinner with sis and Justin at like some scissors rice shop (pardon me, it's a direct translation from the Chinese form). My sister said the tarts we made sucked, well I think I may have to agree, it kinda crumbled in her hands and I didn't really want to eat it after seeing how much sugar went into it. Pains of DIY baking I guess.

Sunday

Had a h&m shopping spree sponsored by sis on that day + pedicure. All expenses paid day. It was so refreshing to shop for clothes without really sticking to basics. Bought this amazing dress which I hadn't had the chance to wear it out yet (still waiting for that pretty dinner with Chanel and friends). And we had a SGD35 brunch at Cornerstone in Bishan Park.

Had poached eggs, something I've been craving for for a really really long time. The ambiance was good (literally dining in the park), but we waited close to 45 minutes for the food, not cool. I should probably have seen it coming considering that it was a Sunday morning. Went to Chanel's in the evening, made rice balls, and boy they were good! It's funny how they tasted a whole lot better than the rice balls in Malacca, where it's supposed to be famous for rice balls.

Tuesday

Went out with my OG to supposedly East Coast on that day. But it rained, so we kinda ended up going to Cake's house. They celebrated my birthday and Ral's, but I had to leave early for training (such a killjoy). But I had fun in that however brief time spent with them!

Wednesday

Went to meet & study with Boon at Macs that day. I realise I have the attention span of a 2 year old lol, which explains why work progress is so incredibly slow. I keep pushing tuition back because I never seem to be able to finish what I set out to do. This does not bode well for next year at all.

& Thurs & Friday & Saturday (which I'm too lazy to elaborate on for my attention span has reached its limit)

but all in all, it was a good week!(:

and I find myself doing what I do best - running away

Say Aah- in a new perspective.

There has been an inordinate amount of homework given over this past week.

But I'm past caring.

So... I am going to blog about my new school life!

This past month has been equally fun and yet stressful at the same time.

You would think that the stress probably came from the the transition from secondary to JC life as well as the workload that would inevitably double or even triple.

But no.

Surprising as this may sound, I found the most stressful thing that I've endured in these past 2 months is choosing a CCA.

Choosing a CCA is no feat in my school, well, for me at least. I have to admit, I do not have skills of any kind. So choosing a CCA, and being accepted into it would most probably be not easy for me. Nonetheless, I never expected it to be this hard. I guess it's somewhat due to the many talented people and overachievers in my school. For what it's worth, I got accepted into a service CCA and from these past few weeks, it has been rather fulfilling. So, I am happy(:

Speaking of which, I visited an old folks' home today.

And I have to say, I am never, ever placing my parents in an old folks' home.

I give up.

I like to tease. I tend to call people names, make fun of them, and act silly around them just to see if I can make them smile or laugh. I'd rather be playfully mean than corny and snappy, actually.

Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever done.

I actually tried playing pool for the first time yesterday during a meet-up with my club members. I'll admit, I've always been apprehensive about trying out the game due to its association with you know, "pai kias" and all that. But I must say, the game is actually really fun! It's easy to pick up and quite highly addictive. And the main point is, I don't suck at it. Thank goodness.

Went to SwissHotel Merchant Court for dinner after that. Mr Ng gave 7 of us treats for our A1s in Olevel physics(:

-abrupt end because inspiration for writing is not flowing(as evident in above text)-

I miss having short hair.

Classic.

THE PAIN IN MY THROAT IS KILLING ME.

NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK IS KILLING ME MORE.

In another life, I would be your girl.

Orientation has been really, really fun.

I have the best OG ever.
