well, loads happened over the weekend. uhh, not loads actually. maybe i should say, stuff happened over the weekend?
aunty see wah went back to UK.
*cries*bought myself a new pair of earrings.
*yay*2 CNY dinners during the weekend, during which i had the best lo-hey (ie raw fish salad) with XO and the finest italian cuisine coupled with the best presentation anyone could ever imagine.
i did a lot of homework. after all, it was the catching up i needed to do due to lost time.
i felt happier.
now comes the down side when IJ girls from other JCs are having trouble coming back to IJ to thanksgiving mass tmr. thinking of not being able to see them makes me uber sad.
cheer up
marie.
revitalization :)

Fall to fly ~ Corrinne May
On winter days the snow would glisten like a sea of diamonds in the sun
All bundled up in hat and mittens I'd be out the foor and on the run
To the meadow my place
Beneath branches of icy lace
Arms held out eyes shut closed
I'd lean back and just let go
And I would fall to fly
A snow white angel I'd spread my wings to the sky
How I'd glide
But soon I craved the city lights
They seemed far brighter than the moon on snow
Turned in my wings for earthly things
Forgot the feel of clouds on indigo
I was strong, I was proud
Keeping both feet on the ground
I feared that love just like I feared heights
I just didn't realise
And I would fall to fly
A snow white angel I'd spread my wings to the sky
How I'd glide
Yes I can fall to fly
'Cause now you've come along
Like falling snow at dawn You move me
And with you by my side
We'll soar
We will climb straight to the heaven's skies
Yes I can fall to fly
A snow white angel I'd spread my wings to the sky
Yes I can fall to fly
'Cause now I'm gonna give love a try
Fall to fly
On winer days I wait for snow and then I know the angel flies once more
Fall to fly, Fall to fly
Heh...my blog is beginning to look stagnant. haha, i don't blame anyone. i've been so busy with the ECONS PROJECT that i've not have time to catch up on my work, much less do any blogging. so hopefully this post will somewhat revitalize my blog. haha.

tues: ECONS PROJECT. 1 WHOLE day on day #3 of CNY. like wth?!?! relatives from mum's side came over. so the atmosphere was rather lively...very unfortunately i was doing the video while they were around. tsk tsk
marie.
wed: ash wed mass. messed up some of the mass parts. arghh.
*curses at myself*thurs: PE = SOCCER. SOCCER = GUYS' SPORT. girls were just being
'flower-pots'.
*flower-pots = slackers on the field. 4/1'06 slang. haha.* tying up of ECONS PROJECT, though the deadline was wed.
*runs & hides!!* thankfully we handed it up today (fri); WHAT A RELIEF!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on a sadder note, aunty see wah is going back to UK tmr. oh how 7 weeks pass with a blink of an eye. i'm gonna miss her...cos it'll be 1 year before i see her again. *cries* but that means i can look forward to my english crumpets again right? haha. so i'm planning to go to the airport tmr morning to send aunty off...so maybe i should rush my work now...esp since i'm lagging...haha.

All That I Need ~ Corrinne May
I'm sorry that I hurt you
I took for granted all you gave so freely to me
I prayed it's not too late
To save you from a broken heart
To promise you
I'll make a brand new start
Believe me when i say~
You are all that I need
The only treasure I see
You're the air that helps me breathe through the darkest night
When I fall down on my knees
I was blind but now I see
You are all that I need~
When no one far from perfect
Like a child that needs a guiding hand
Can you stay here with me
I finally understand
You've always been the missing part
Complete the jigsaw puzzle of my heart
Please hear me when i say~
You are all that I need
The only treasure I see
You're the air that helps me breathe through the darkest night
When I fall down on my knees
I was blind but now I see
You are all that I need~
Please let me hear your voice again
Let me hear you say your love will never end
That whatever it takes you'll be there
When I say~
You are all that I need
The only treasure I see
You're the air that helps me breathe through the darkest night
I fall down on my knees
I was blind but now I see
You are all that I need~
arghh i've got homework. like the the middle of CNY. oh the joy.
nonetheless some stuff has indeed brightened up CNY. here's just but a small update on day #1.
RED PACKETS! DOUBLE SHARE FROM SOME RELATIVES! YAY!
TONS OF CNY GOODIES
NICE FAMILY PHOTO *yay!* :)
and...
homework waiting for me. what a dampener.
yet amongst all the festivities, somehow i'm not as hyped up as last year. SSMO knows why, but i won't elaborate more here. thanks SSMO! so i'm hoping everything will be for the better with turning of the new year.
happy new year once again. :)

Save Me ~ Corrinne May
I drift, I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, I'm yearning
I'm like the putty in your hands
I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a roller coaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who i am
Just take my hand and~
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you~
I had a dream that i was falling from the sky
At 90 miles an hour
I was bound to crash and die
But out of nowhere you came and rescued me
There must be some grace in the touch of your face
I'm so happy that I've found you
I'm no longer afraid
Oh ' cause you~
Save me from this place
Heaven knows i'm falling
For you my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting~
Before i met you
Life was slow-mo
So slow-mo
I thought i had it figured out
But you came and turned my whole world upside down~
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven knows
Heaven knows you've come to~
Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you
Waiting for you
VALENTINE'S DAY / IJ STUDENT LEADERS' INVEST!!
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
♥ 10:33 pm
today's valentine's day & ij student leaders' invest! *gleams widely* my day started out quite ok...with v-day gifts from many people! like yay! flowers, LOADS of chocolates...and being international friendship day too, not only did i give loads of clothes pegs (with msgs), but i received just as many too! thank you to everyone for all the gifts...really appreciate them! :)
today's also blood donation day in CJ. quite a few from my class were brave enough to do their part for the society. i'm disappointed at myself for not being able to master the courage to do my part. i was overcome by fear. maybe next time?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IJ student leaders' invest was GREAT! met up with germs and mel and other councillors in my alma mater. as usual, i was an insane teenager running up to my juniors and giving them bear hugs! haha. (i really miss them!!) and they all look so smart in their council uniform! the invest ceremony was great; it reminded me of the past invests that i was part of. and the video clip shown brought back many memories of my 4 years in ij. oh how i miss those days. the skit...HAHA...was AWESOME! great story line, LOADS of humour, and much-needed laughter! GOOD JOB samira and dewi for that perfect filippino accent! and dharlynnie and eliza for the romeo-and-juliet story? and kathleen and clarissa and tiara for the visa-like advertisement segment! haha! took photos with SSMO and MY SIS! haha. in short, everything was AWESOME! CONGRATS TO ALL STUDENT LEADERS, ESP. THE DARLING COUNCILLORS!!! <3333>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
had a nice dinner with mr joker. haha. his treat since i secured a B3 in HCL for my Os. yay. took a long time to eat. and i don't know why, since i was supposed to be hungry cos i had a super light lunch. anyway, we stoned a lot after dinner...or rather, i stoned a lot. i guess it was a good way to take a breather, reflecting on stuff. oh oh,mr joker: thanks for the gifts ...i appreciate your gesture! <3333
tmr's a brand new day. CNY's up next. CAN'T WAIT!
1T27 outing / Youth Rally (hearts on fire)
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
♥ 7:44 pm
had a class outing with 1T27 again on sat. was on the mrt with calories aka clarisse and martini aka martin for 45 mins...played go-fish with the cards that clarisse brought...like WOW. clarisse ACTUALLY BROUGHT CARDS! BRING ON THE GAMBLING MODE! haha. reached jurong after a long time and met hamster aka james and bert-shit aka hubert and some others (sorry i can't rmb who was there when we arrived...) supposed to go ice-skating at jurong, but sadly (and unexpectedly) due to some international ice hockey competition (where small kids like 10 yrs old were playing?) the ice-skating rink wasn't open to the public till the evening the next day...so we had other plans instead. went to play at the arcade...daytona and DDR and para-para...haha! daytona was so-so...but I TOTALLY OWNED DDR!! haha...so martin, hubert & tian zhu better practise!!went to play counterstrike with the guys for almost 3 hours! it was the girls' first go at CS...and we didn't do that bad...it was quite alright...now i know why it's so addicitive...went for lunch at pizza hut...the girls (clarisse, tian zhu and i) had our own table, while the guys their own. lunch was rather measley...with only a small portion of lasagne... :(left early cos of the youth rally while the rest went to play pool. had a long train ride back home alone...then went home to wash up in preparation for the youth rally, where i would be joined by joyce and germs...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the youth rally was an eye-opener. i'd not been to anything like that so it was a first experience for me. it was powerful, though long winded (sorry to say that!!) haha. praise and worship was cool, and so was father simon's homily...the prayer session, i feel, left the most impact and the deepest impression that night; for it was enlightening to see people fall back after having their personal intentions prayed over. for me, i won't elaborate what went on; you can ask me yourself. but nonetheless, it's a REALLY powerful yet enriching experience, so anyone out there is strongly encouraged to attend such events.i'm not joking. it's good.

jess' sweet 16 party! / POLS * POLRS...
Sunday, February 04, 2007
♥ 1:54 pm
yay, my jessica is so grown up! yup yup! she's 16 now! actually, on 11 feb she'll OFFICIALLY be 16. 16 = NC16 movies. 16 = O LEVELS...haha. anyways, 16 is a nice number. :)went to her party ytd. clare and i were earlier. a BIG pity mel wasn't there. :( then that'll be a PERFECT SSMO GATHERING!! did some catching up...and eating loads of yummy food...esp the potato salad everyone loved. jess even had sakae sushi DELIVERED to her place. like WOW. i was the only senior at the party though, but no worries. it sometimes is nice to relate happenings and gossips about JC to the juniors, give them a little more insight to JC life. (oops?!) haha. the juniors did a lot, and i mean A LOT of stupid stuff with party horns and such. it was super funny to hear the song 'jingle bells' being played with party horns, cos rightfully, you can't really hear any melody of any sort, but ytd was an exception. haha. the juniors had fun blowing their horns, and i had almost as much fun hearing them and laughing all the way. HAHA. balloons were fun too. they burst when the juniors lay on them...no surprise there...haha. in general, jess' party was a lot of catching up and talking (for me at least) haha.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rumours for the O level results day have been spreading, and that has been the talk of the town the past 2 weeks or so. yieks. i wonder what's gonna happen. honestly, i believe that like my other fellow sec 4 friends out there, i'm scared. i'm terrified. i wanna do well. but will i do well? will i NOT do well? am i gonna stay in CJ, or am i planning to leave? is my class gonna spilt up? how many are planning to leave? should i pysche myself to be positive? will i get what i deserve? does this mean my results will not be up to mark? what are others gonna say?how will i react?
