& it's going to be a long post!

ahhhhh, sooooo sooooooo long since i last updated i realised! lol. although it's only been less than a month, but somehow it just felt rather long. yet, i wonder then how it is possible that i feel time is passing way too fast at times. ah nvm, i am just contadicting myself -.-


okk and so the sept hols are here. butt it doesn't feel like the hols at all! must be the awful timing of the exams! haha. think it's cos of the many study days we had, that we did not have to go school, and i would end up studying with caiyun and yuping at je library. speaking of which, the library is really conducive for studying! although time seem to pass even faster in the lib! haha. anw prelims are quite screwed la -.- the only paper i felt was ok and am confident of is maths, the others are just crappy. just hope that i won't score that bad. haiz. anw, all is not lost for physics and chem, i think. still have paper 1 and 2 after hols to sit for. so i guess just have to work harder in hope of salvaging myself. ahahaha. butttt for now, it's time for a good and well deserved rest! been slacking off and doing things which i never found the time to do these few days. oh man, mugging really deprives one of all else -.-


so friday was teachers' day celebrations. went out after maths paper the day before with the girls to imm to grab some gifts from daiso! haha, we scoured the whole place and decided that we should just diy a board each for our lovely teachers using wooden ornaments, which turned out super pretty man! and i think we are super efficient too! like after buying the stuff and all, we sat down at this platform thingy and imm and started doing up the boards publicly. lol luckily there weren't many people around, otherwise we would have invited many stares from around! anw, we spent bout the rest of the afternoon piecing everything together, which is oh so fast la! haha, feel very proud of our final gifts! (not that i contributed to the artistic aspect la, since i am soo not artistic, but at least i helped out with the manual work =P)


so here's the boards which we went great lengths to make:





and as u can see, they are empty still. and the girls were joking about comparing the before and after looks of the boards, after referring to after the boards are filled with messages. cos once the guys write on it, their artistic handwriting would just beautify the boards completely. haha right. ok la just kidding =P afterall, i won't say my handwriting is all that good also (in fact, i think i need to really improve it la) haha tsk.

anw, the very next day, we wrote the msgs on early morning. and here's how the boards look like finally:

it didn't turn out all that bad afterall la =D just that i dun understand why the guys can't just choose an ink colour that matched the background colour better -.- while doing this, we skipped assembly and aces day workout. lol. only went for the concert, which i was highly expecting, but ended up to be quite a bore and disappointing. ended up ponning the concert with the class after we had to change venue due to the rain. and shockingly, some of the teachers even pon the concert la! lol, stupid. anw, presented the gifts to our beloved teachers, and took a pic with them! feel kinda sad actually. the thought of being on my own still scares me a little. and they will be the last memories of teachers i would have in my education phase i guess. and this will be the last teachers' day celeb too! haha, i am getting nolstagic. anw, to all the deserving teachers out there: HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY!!!


and after teachers day, went out for a mini girls outing with jamie, lynette, yi hui, wendy and vanessa at vivo. haha, finally got a chance to relax and shop around! (omg, i reall sound deprived, haha) good to have the carefree feeling back again after mugging so much for prelims the past weeks, and just lazing around and chatting without having to worry bout anything for once. seriously, can't wait for a levels to be over man! (though prelims are not even over yet la, haha). anw, i bought stuff and watched WALL-E. the movie was pretty good i guess, better than expected at least (we were joking bout why are we paying 8.50 to watch a cartoon that is :p) the plot was a little far fetch la, but it was actually quite touching, for a show mostly bout robots. and what's amazing is that even though there was hardly any talking where the robot scenes were concerned, but it still managed the convey the intended meaning and feelings of the robots, which was pretty cool. so no wonder the movie got such a high rating!

okk, i am rotting at home on a beautiful sunday afternoon, which i would most probably been trying to myself awake cramming in the past weeks. but, today i am soo energetic! haha, not a feeling of lethargy depsite sleeping early this morn! haha, and i conclude under amy's scientific research on sleepyness syndrome that studying no doubt puts you to sleep. so next time, when u can't fall asleep, just head for the books (must be those school text of cos), and i guarantee you would be knocked out ten times faster than if u had taken a sleeping pill! ahahaha. ok lame i noe.

feel kinda bored and restless now actually, like as studying was the main thing revolving around my life, and now that i am not studying, i am at a lost at what to do. lol no life la omg. but i am not a mugger k! haha. ok to not sound so pathetic, i played the guitar (trying out charleen's book, ha!) and missed playing the guitar loads, did a little of orgami (can't believe i actually bought the origami paper and book, haha), played the psp, and finished a rather thick book 'p.s. i love you' (quite ok, may catch the movie online later, haha), this weekend =D cool eh! haha. watched alot of tv as well; was glued to the hongkong serial shui yue feng yun this morning! haha, quite an interesting show (local tv shows really have to buck up ah) haha.



haha, suddenly my posts have so many pictures eh! the result of being too freeee. haha had better enjoy the remnants of my free life, before i return to the life of mugging. tsk. meanwhile, had been slacking around doing nothing much, yet still enjoying life. haha. it's a great, yet weird feeling. it's like u know u can relax, but yet can't go all out in relaxing, cos it seems over, but in fact, it is not over yet. haha what is this man. the administration is ingenious man. ha.


anw, been thinking bout some stuff lately. i think that sometimes, i have been too caught up with studies and other stuff that i have neglected my friends :( in fact, the only ones that i see regularly are my classmates, and perhaps cy and yp during our study sessions. haiz. on my juniors side, there's evelyn and yuanqing from cres (nice duo), and charleen, jennings, serene, clara, bern they all from guitar (miss them loads!). as for my fellow peers, there's stella, kellie and waileng (who are my best interact and lap mates), and sarah and emily (my best sec sch frens in ac now). and for seniors like debby whom i don't even see now :( and yea, me being an introvert and all, it's not like i have many friends, and in fact i don't. hence, my heart tells me i should go the extra mile to sustain the friendships that i already have, and not wait for them to slip out of my grasp. but yet, i just can't take the initiative somehow (not a very verbal person either, can only open up to those i am really close with). but who am i anw? at times, i am not even there when they need someone to tide them their low points. i am really a horrible friend i guess :( and at times, when i know they are feeling down, i can't even give them a good consolation, and the comforting words i can offer just sound soo unnatural and distant somehow. and yea, sometimes i can tell that they are putting on a facade, hiding behind their cheerful surface, but yet, there's nothing that i can do to help them, and i just can't help but feeling disappointed at myself. i did mention before that i must learn to treasure my friends more, even since i almost lost an impt friendship. but yet, i find myself doing the very same thing again, neglecting those around me. although this time, i am a little bit more proactive. but i guess it's not enough... i really don't know. i just hope that i am being over-sensitive, and that my worries are unfounded. reassurance, perhaps that's what i need.


okk, i have typed a pretty long post i realised, the result of cramming everthing into one post sia. haha. no idea when i will be back again =P

yes, an update! =D

i'm finally squeezing in some time to update :P

time is really passing by like a mag-lev train man =X it felt like just yesterday when we had our concert. and speaking of which, concert at esplanade was awesome! we were great, the alumni were great, and the audience were great too! haha. anyway the period after the concert was still guitar filled. within a short span of about 1 week after the concert, we conducted EXCO interview over 2 days, and had EXCO election speech day yesterday! are we amazing or are we amazing?! haha jkjk. and today, we decided on the final new EXCO positions :D this therefore meant that the retiring exco (yes, sadly) would be stepping down on handover ceremony coming monday! ahh! i don't know how i should/ would feel =/ but i guess i will feel relieved (when the reality of prelims in two weeks sinks in finally), yet at the same time sad (afterall it officially marks the end of guitar for me).

have also been pretty busy the past week doing caal update on sps. it's super tedious, having to key in reflections for every single activity. submitted my 3 sgc write ups just. hope everything will get approved so i wouldn't have to make any changes :P haha

oh, this week marks the start of our restructured time table, where we don't have lessons on thurs and fri, so that we will have more time to study. haha, right..

ok, so prelims are in exactly 19 days as of today. i am scared :(



p.s.
we are good friends la! don't anyhow think ah u all (: haha
