Unforgettable Night.
Tomorrow's Christopher's birthday!
HAPPY ADVANCED BIRTHDAY!

I don't think I'll be blogging tomorrow. It's gonna be a busy night tomorrow. So an advanced birthday wish for you. Hee.

Every moment hanging out with the usual people is just so enjoyable and unforgettable. We celebrated Chris' and surprisingly, my belated birthday last night. I was quite surprised. Didn't expect the unexpected. I met Sue, Chels and Dion after my project work in the afternoon and we caught the movie, TOOTH FAIRY. The storyline's lame but I guess the moral behind this movie is that dreams are important. Well some dreams. Definitely not tooth fairy haha. Anyway, after the movie we headed over to Ting's place and waited for the rest to arrive. Then, we made our way to a nearby steamboat restaurant for dinner. And it cost me a bomb! I spent a total of $30 yesterday on movie and dinner. :'(
After dinner, we headed back to Ting's place for the birthday celebration. That was the moment when I was caught off guard by surprise! Initially, I thought the celebration was meant specially for Chris but they included me as well. They actually remembered my birthday! And I had a birthday present too! A top from Zara. Thanks guys :) Oh and I made Chris a really nice birthday card. But shoots! I didn't manage to take a picture of it. Oh well. (I'll make an even nicer one for you k Zdor!) And the most hilarious moment was, they smashed the birthday cake on my face! AHHH! It smelled so gross and it stunk my eyes. Hahaha! But whatever, it was fun so I didn't mind. And it was my first to experience a cake smashed on my face. Love you people! :)

I really enjoyed myself yesterday. It has been 4 months since I last hung out with them! I really missed them. I hope to have such gatherings more often. I MISS BROADRICK! :)

I reached home at 10.55pm. Exhausted to the max. Thank you lovelies once again for the surprised birthday celebration. And sorry Alia babe if I can't make it next week. We shall hang out after exams alright! :) ♥ And Zdor! Don't worry, 8th position is already really good! I prayed for you to run well and you did! :) As long as you know it deep down inside that you have done yourself proud, that is all it matters! Don't emo! :)

Alrighty! I better continue with my research. I shall leave you with this:



Adam Lambert! ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Wonders Of A Card.
Its THAT time of the month again and my whole afternoon was spent tossing and turning on the couch, hoping the cramps would subside and I could once again, start work. Took me few hours after wrapping a warm towel around my tummy. Thanks sis for your help. If it weren't for you, I would still be tossing and turning in pain. Haha. :)


Anyway check this out. Awesome magic.



Alright, back to work. Bye.

Wednesday Blues.
I feel blue.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm really such a boring person to hang out with. You can just feel it or from the way people react towards you explains it all. I hardly feel good about myself. I have always thought to myself, am I being a good friend to anybody out there? Or a good filial daughter to my parents? I can't help but feel self-centered sometimes. Like I only care about my personal feelings. Or perhaps I'm just over sensitive and thinking too much. Well that's my trait. I am forever self-reflecting and pessimistic. No wonder my blog's boring to read. There's not much content but the topic of the day always revolves around self-reflection or pessimistic thoughts. One living example is that right now, right at this moment, I am being pessimistic again. Forever. Seriously. *annoyed at myself*



YAWNS. Tired, sleepy and exhausted. Time to replenish red blood cells. Goodnight. :)

Busy Bee.
Hickory, dickory, dock!

Busy, busy, busy! Busy Bee! Sorry for the delay. I have been really busy the whole week. With so many oncoming projects and experiments, I demand a break! Weekend has been both AWESOME and SO NOT AWESOME.

AWESOME because I went kite flying yesterday! It was super duper uber fun! I supported zdor for his I&E event by purchasing his kites! I bought a bat design. And I flew it 18 stories high! Awesome-ness!

SO NOT AWESOME because I almost fainted today. I'm either suffering from low blood pressure or dehydration. Totally ruined my whole day. I felt my world was spinning the whole time, even right now at this moment as I'm blogging. Seriously annoying. And when I tried standing upright, my body would go swaying left to right. It felt like all my blood went to my feet and none went to my head. Sigh. I wish this was over. My mum told me I would take few days to recover from it. And in the meantime, I need to drink lots of water. If the situation worsens, I have to take iron pills. They're really cute, small and bloody red. Hahaha. My friend told me it tastes like blood. Ew. And the disadvantage is it causes constipation, according to the one my parents have. I shall search for those who has a special ingredient that prevents constipation- recommended by Fran.

Alright, I better turn in early. Don't wanna faint in school tomorrow. Embarrassing much. Goodnight!

Nineteen.
I just turned 19 a few days ago.

19 is the last of the teens.
It marks close to the middle of a crossroad but not yet.
It represents a year above young adult and a year younger than the big 2- according to one of my friends who wished me.
It isn't a significant age to me. Just another year older.
I still have to abide by the same rules: Curfew's at 11pm, no clubbing, no supper with friends, have to turn in by 12pm every night, no using internet at such hour etc.
Thus, I see no significance at 19 years of age at all.

On the lighter note, being 19 wouldn't be a bad thing after all. I receive a little more freedom as compared to 18. I become wiser and smarter. I look at things with a different mindset and perspective. I am curious about almost every single thing, including 2 girls 1 cup (I really want to catch it some day.) I am trying out new looks and fashion. I am beginning to dress better as compared to when I just began poly. I am even more determined to work hard, just have not ignited the fire in me. HAHA. So I guess, 19 wouldn't be so bad after all. I'll just have to look at things more positively.


Well, every person can have wishes and dreams. So here's mine:

I hope to keep in closer contact with the usual people (ZI-TING, SUYIN, CHRISTOPHER, CHELSEA, BING XUN, and DION. If you're reading this, please take note. Hahaha nah kidding.) If anybody ever reads. :)

I hope to build stronger family ties and to develop a closer friendship with my existing friends.

I hope to get better grades for my GPA and make my parents proud.

I MUST GET INTO UNIVERSITY NO MATTER WHAT.

I hope to carry my duties out as a Catholic.

And... MORE SHOPPING! I want a new look!

Honestly, I am glad my dad was strict with me. Knowing my character, as stubborn as a bull, I can NEVER listen. Or should I say, I take advise from people I wish to, although knowing that it was never a solution but yeah. Nevertheless, I am thankful for the little discipline attitude I developed. It's not much but I am trying really hard.

My birthday was a simple celebration. Church in the morning, lunch at minds cafe with church fellas, and games afterwards. It was hilarious and entertaining. Laughing at how others did their taboos. I missed it so much. Awwww. I am looking for a day for zdor though. And then, back home for dinner and celebration with my family. :) I am still waiting patiently for the usual people. You know what you must do. HAHAHA! Kidding! YAWNS. I'm sleepy now. Goodnight!

Helpless.

It has been 7 hours since I got home. I spent a good deal of 5 hours resting and watching korean drama. WOW. Seriously. As much as I hate to admit, korean dramas are truly addictive. Look what has it done to me! It made me wasted 5 hours of precious study time! Not that I am almost completed with the chapters but I am barely a few pages away from the introduction. -.- And each time when I try to memorize a line, I began feeling drowsy and my body will automatically drift me to the bed. There you go, another half an hour wasted. I feel helpless and super exhausted. I am utterly disappointed with myself but yet I am not disciplined enough to sit myself down and focus for at least half an hour. Oh gawd. I doubt I will perform well tomorrow. *Sobs*

Oh and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMIEN!

Class Resumes.
School didn't seem like a dread like I thought it would be. Although I still feel a little awkward about the current situation. After all, we're all still friends. Just no more hanging out together, no more having meals together, no more laughing at each other's stupidity. I really miss those times. But I'm contented with the way things are. I'm not asking for more and I don't wish for further complications. I hope to bond with my classmates!

Honestly, school rocks this week! Most classes are cancelled due to open house. Such tragic as I would not be able to participate because of OHS TEST on Friday morning at 8.30 am! I have to go home and study everyday %#@^*&#^@ HOW ANNOYING! That is the only ONE THING I dread the most. UGH. Otherwise, everything will fall perfectly into place and this week would not seem pathetic to me.

By the way, I received my common tests results. ONE WORD: P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C is all that can describe my results. Anchem was a total disappointment. I should not have been too playful. The consequences are fatal since it is rated as the highest credit module. Everyone did so well. And given the fact that I did so badly for my 5% quiz. I have to double the effort in pulling up my grades for the final paper. I need to pull up my socks before I lose out. God please help.

And something exciting to look forward to during the weekends! It's my special day coming up. Remember to get me presents my dearest friends! HAHA just kidding! I can't wait to meet up with the usuals. So fun! It's been long since I last met them (September). And church fellas on Sunday at minds cafe! FUN FUN FUN!
Oh and and and Zdor's performing this Friday! All the best! I'm sure you'll perform well! :D

Right now, I just need my bed because I'm so exhausted! I lost too much of sleep this week. It's either 1 am or 2 am or 1 am again. -.- Goodnight world!

Look Ahead.
HELLO PEOPLE! I'M BACK.

It took me a lot of courage to delete all the posts in my blog (all the time and effort spent on editing and creating posts) and start afresh with a new look and new happenings to come by.

Yet another year has passed. Sad to say, I didn't feel the excitement on the eve of New Year's Day when everybody was waiting excitedly at attractive places like Marina Bay, Orchard, Marina Barrage, etc for the countdown and fireworks. Instead, I spent the New Year's Eve at home with my siblings and my friends I had invited over for dinner. It was enjoyable to celebrate New Year's eve with them just for that few hours before midnight. It wasn't much but it was home. There was no excitement but a feeling of comfort and happiness. A simple dinner we had that made us all gloat with satisfaction. We chatted and shared over dinner. After which, I felt loads better.

The last few weeks had been topsy turvy. The only time I felt happy was during Christmas. I'm still upset and not over the fact that things have changed and there's no turning back. It seems out of reach to amend broken friendships. Nothing you can do to make it better. Like a broken glass that can never be amended and forever remained as cracked- explains a lot on the current situation I'm dealing with.

2009 to me has been a great and significant year. I would never regret the great friendships I have forged, stronger family ties built, older friendships rekindled and became stronger, FOC 09/10, bonding with freshies, getting a witch role for Christmas pageant, getting more involved in church and trying to be a good catholic. Oh, and not to forget a special someone. All these made 2009 a meaningful one. Yes, although I never much fancied the last two months of the year when things took a turn, but perhaps it was for the better. It was not something that I wish for to happen, but it just did and I pray for the best. I hope on the day of my graduation, I would at least have a picture of us taken, smiling happily and forgetting grudges against whoever. As much as I dislike my course, at least I could have my graduation day made the most memorable one. A memory I could look back to when I'm older.

I want to thank God for this new year and a new beginning. 2009 left us with happy and painful memories; brought us laughter and tears shed. Let us look forward to a new year filled with surprises and opportunities for us to explore! May 2010 be a wonderful year for all of us.


Happy New Year!
