I love Tiffany Alvord. She's so pretty, has the right amount of girly-ness and her voice is amazing. <3

I'm quite spooked to go back hall now. So apparently there was a suicide case at my hall, a girl who suffocated herself using a plastic bag, same blk as me, just one level below. And just yesterday there was this flyer sent to people doorstep by the hall office asking people to lock their doors at night at lvl 6 cause some residents report strangers knocking at their door at night. Then now they were speculating rumours that it was a murder case?

Whole holiday has been a blur! Everything is just passing by so so fast. Gave school a miss today to get some rest and unwind a little.

2012-01-23T21:43:00.000+08:00

Long breaks.

2012-01-19T11:27:00.004+08:00

Thankful for my hall peeps. Cause life in hall would be pretty boring without them, especially when your living in a single room. I mean like there's just so much you can laze around watching shows. Looking forward to the long weekends! CNY. Finally gonna move to Livia on the 28th. Theres still alot of packing and moving still yet to be done. So I must move all my stuff by tuesday. Chop chop!

I have never regretted being with you. You were one of the best. We'll chat about the good ol' days like best friends would.

“Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

I want to start learning how to drive, although I have this constant phobia my reaction time is not fast enough when i'm behind the wheels. So, first thing first is

1. Basic Theory Test at Ubi
2. Apply for Provisional Driving Licence
3. Final theory test at centre
4. Practical driving test (within 2 years of fft)

and tada!

p.s private lessons are better right?

Happy birthday mabs! This pretty girl booked a room at mbs, but they upgraded it for her to a suit. How awesome is that. The room is soo fantastic and we were all literally hopping/skipping around the place. Went swimming at the infinity pool, and it was freaking cold up there. It takes awhile before your body temperature gets used to the chilling wind up there.

Awesome ice cream cake. Though it was so hard to cut, even with a home knife. Mabs secondary school friends also came over. Kept laughing and laughing. I think I was too full that i became high. Really ate alot. Couldn't even finish the cake. Learnt abit of this cute Roly poly dance that nat was teaching us. Later on, we sent prissy down and apparently we forgot our room number on our way up and mabel didnt pick up her phone, so we kept going to different levels and trying to tap the card. I remembered asking her, "are we drunk?!?" (no we did not drink) Phew, ended up calling prissy to our rescue.

Omg crazy ass night. Luv my girlies. <3

Hope you had a merry little christmas. Spent eve at my ah ku mike's place, and boy does he prepare wonderful feast fit for a king. Yum yum. (chinese new year coming soon. expect steamboat pictures soon! I bet it'll be like two huge pots) I think christmas is the best time for kids. I remember my sis, cousins and I used to beg the adults saying "open just oneee?? pleaseee." *blinks blinks show puppy eyes* then count down to 12 midnight to open the presents. Haha my sis and I would even sneak out in the middle of the night and slowly peel off the wrapper at the side and take a sneak peek to what our presents are, then carefully seal it all back, put it under the tree. hehe no trace of evidence at all! Ninja style.

Grandpa, me, tessa, mum, sarah, grandma

Hehe got an ipad 2 from my mum and a sound bass system from my sister and charles. Squeals. Didn't expect though. I'm blasting songs using that speaker in my room now. It has a nice bass system. Can party by myself in my room already.

okay I still love christmas no matter what the age. ;0 After all its not the presents, it is jesus' birthday! (really really) hehe muacks!

Went to the art science museum at mbs for the titanic exhibition. It was pretty unique. They gave us each a boarding card each with a real life name and facts and at the end you get to see whether you 'survived' the journey or not. I must say that the details that they put into it is quite impressive. They even had a huge ice block for you to feel and sound effects. The first class and the third class really had an world of difference. Charmaine's first class 66 year old character died. The reason was one of the special quotes we saw while passing through; it said "As we have lived together, we shall die together." haha it sounds so much like her :)
Actually we were not allowed to take any pictures inside but i snuck a few. I wonder if Jack and Rose were real or fictional. They had to be fictional right? And I can never understand the mechanics behind how a ship can float when it's so super heavy. Just like how a plane can fly with so many barrangs filled on it.

Headed to cherie's house for christmas gathering. Haha it has been our tradition for many years. Exchange of gifts and our secret santa. hehe I also bought them rings from bangkok! Though we may not meet up as often anymore, am still glad that our conversations are still as easy and carefree. Love the simple innocence, and back in the days.

ps. yicheng says he wants to buy kinect. hehehe. means i can use it as well.

He's recovering. Slowly. Been going to the hospital almost everyday so he doesnt feel lonely there. The nurses and doctors are nice. Since im currently hooked on grey's anatomy, I keep picturing some doctors as the character. There's doc mc dreamy, nazi, dr grey.
So anyway, I got him a bear from bangkok and had flowers with balloon delivered to him. Felt guilty to be away so I bought many stuff for him. Everyday I shall give him a present. I got the bear from bangkok. Cute right? But it was quite a hassle lugging it back all the way cause it was quite bulky.

His tumor should be mostly gone. But his facial nerve is bruised so his right side of his face is quite numb. :(
At first was quite sad to see him when he just came out of his opt and in ICU. Cause of all the tubes connecting all over his body.
Hoping for the best. But I'm really appreciative for all the supportive friends thats been there. Feeling really blessed to have such friends around. I guess in times like these you kind of re-evaluate things.

2011-12-14T01:25:00.013+08:00

I still remember the look on your face
Been through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered for just us to know
You told me you loved me so why did you go away, go away

I do recall now the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement, I ran off the plane
That July 9th the beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt, I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then you pulled me in
I'm not much for dancing but for you did

Because I loved your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you'd kiss me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips, ohh

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I'll feel you forget me like I use to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
We can plan for a change in weather and time
I never planned on you changing your mind

So, I'll go, sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know
How to be something you miss

I never thought we'd ever last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips
Just like our last kiss, forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips, just like our last

Tomorrow yicheng is going in for his operation. I hope everything goes well.. I feel so very helpless. I don't even know what to respond to people. Speechless maybe. I try to act brave and shit all but I am worried. Who wouldn't be. It will be a 10hour surgery? :'( I can't even spend christmas with him. I guess suddenly everything else doesn't seem to matter as much anymore... But i promised to stay by your side till you recover. Be brave.
xoxo

I have never been enthu in ccas or any other activities that involves staying back in school, hall or anything. Once school is over! Means its overr! I can never understand the joy of participtating and joining all the extra activities, because it means more work to be done?? Especially now since school is like a gallzion lightyears away for me now. I mean it's different when it's acutal school project work, that you gotta make an effort. But for ccas, it's been that way since primary all the way through jc, and it ain't ever gonna change! Esp when it's no longer compulsary in uni. Yes slacker me. ;)

“It doesn’t matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives. Trauma messes everybody up, but maybe thats the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap…maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up.

Holidays are here! One month of freedom and peace to enjoy it. So last tuesay went over to malaysia Kupkup with my gesl group and then the very next night went to mbs stayover thanks to Ennoi! I don't have kupkup pictures now, cause everyone is apparently lazy to upload. (including me) The view at mbs was really nice. People who went were from the og venetians during foc camp. Extreme bunch of people they are. haha

Imagine how we slept that night with amount of people. Luckily i got the side of the bed. hehe

Crazy card games. Dont' know how many bottles of beer glenn brought over and where he got them from? Everybody damn scared to kana the forfit.

Went Kudeta after that. Apparently quite spacious, not the suffocating squeezing in mrt kind. It was free too! Cause it's on weds and even the guys managed to get in for free. There was alot of old people there too. And there was this bunch of old ladies which tried to hit on my friend and even squeezed his ass?!? HAHA. Kept disturbing them afterwards.

The view at the roof garden was really awesome. But really looking so horrible in the photos. 2 nights of not sleeping does this to you.

But after the whole thing, glad to be back at the comfort of my own home. Gonna meet nat for shopping and do our nails! hehe. Only stupid prissy pangsei us.

Much credit to Yishuen's camera.

So last sunday my mum got married at Goodwood Park Hotel. The deco and everything was really nice and simple. It was outdoor and thank god it didnt' rain. The only thing was it was hot. Like really hot. Or maybe because we were running around trying to let things flow smoothly. The cards and the basket below were made by us! Pretty right?

Setting up and preparingg.. Our job was also to be the receptionist but guest started entering through all from the wrong enterance.

John and Tessa, my fav cousins

Pretty sister Sarah.

My godparents

On the right is Charles, my sis bf

Oh and my godfather made all these pretty corsages for us girls, talented or what! Yes. Its real flowers, But all the poor flowers are dying now.. Wonder how long can I keep them.

The walk in enterance. Haha she looks so pretty. She was so nervous and ended up walking really fast. My grandpa sended her off.

Signing the dotted lines + rings + vows.

Loved the food. All the glorious food!

Cake cutting time! I like the rose petals and the effect.

Then it was time to give our speech and toast. Spend a hell lot of time trying to formulate a proper speech. I tried my best not to be cheesy.

Heres a snippet,

" seeing my mum being happy with victor is all i can ask for, they joke tease, poke fun of each other. I always see them constantly laughing and having new adventures with each other. their relationship is full of excitment and sparks. A relationship that never grows old. They say that there is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship than a good marriage. Especially when your marrying your best friend. ...

Someone who can take good care of her when things get rough. We will be glad to know she has finally found her happiness. In such we would like to welcome victor into the new family and the many new memories in time to come. Please raise your glasses and join me in a toast, to the bride and groom. We wish you a happy and successful marriage. Cheers!"

But mission fail. Only made them tear abit only. dammit.

hehehe. cheers.

We made these ourselves! Chocolate gifts. Ok fine, we did not make the chocolates but we made the wrapper of the chocolate.

Theres a reason why everyone is laughing at the back of the wapper.

It's not fair. Really. Reality isn't. I don't think it's fair to you, to your parents, to or even to me. I don't know why this has to happen to you of the millions of people out there and i'm afraid and worried. I guess anyone would. It takes a hell lot to admit that God has planned out everything and everything is suppose to happen for a reason. But is it really true? Or is it the way it's suppose to be? What good would such a thing be? I guess I am unable to see the bigger picture here for now. Maybe in some time to come, and i'll come to understand why. There are already see some differences in you. You get tired easily, you can't get around much and you say I can't annoy you anymore, your health won't be able to take it. But thankfully, your spirits are still there. Thats more than I can ask for, and that's all that is important right now.

One week from now and i'll be free! I'm quite excited for this Sunday cause my mum's getting married! Okay more like a rom but it's still just as exciting. Bought my dress from mango and the theme is nude. I like my dress and have already painted my nails and i'm supposed to do a wedding toast? I have no idea how to do one, so I've only googled and watch some youtube videos but ending up watching all the top bloopers and not to say wedding toasts. How nerve wrecking. But my mum is also supposed to have a short walk with my granddad and he's supposed to send her off. She's even got this long white wedding dress and my grandpa is supposed to wear his hat. Super cute. Can't wait to take pictures.

2011-11-14T13:21:00.007+08:00

I thought once you entered uni, you didn't have to study much anymore, cause your already inside? I didn't even think a pencil box was necessary. Especially from what all the JC teachers said. But what lies! I just can't seem to study anymore, it's like my attention span has been ripped off by chewed by some demon. Tomorrow's biology exam. I am spotting questions. I really really do hope it comes out.

2011-11-12T19:39:00.001+08:00

It's funny how when one has work to do, everything else suddenly becomes so entertaining.
