thank you for spilling it all out.
all that matters is that my identity was conceled.
dont want to invite so much attention, cos we're getting more than enough now. HAHA.
it means so much that you care about how i feel about that
thing.
really, i'm all better now, actually for a long time already. thank goodness there's school to take my mind off things, i no longer dwell about the past (:
i'll let you know when the good news arrives.unless you jealous then can cam-whore with me, then use your pic and replace the other pic in my phone! haha.
youknowwhoyouare.there is hope in every heartbeat, tiny as it seems.
coffee + shopping

titles for my post have been getting weirder. blame it on my lack of creativity.and yes, coffee and shopping with SGW again. this time, cine & centrepoint. a great afternoon out in town after svdp food distribution (with a great J1 turnout!)
during which (ie food distribution) i was a
TOTAL GOOF.
bought a lot of stuff today- presents,
orange elle active flip flops (yay!) & my
CNY blouse (yay!) i didnt bring enough money this week, SGW ended up helping me pay for my blouse! haha, shows that i'm going broke from all that spending =.= well, it was satisfying for both of us, especially after combing town and finally finding my blouse at the 3rd outlet in town.
it was, again, an interesting experience, i did things (eg trying on clothes as i shopped with a friend) that i've never done before, even as i shopped with my girlfriends- only did that around my mum & sis. hahaha. there were some funny encounters: we overheard other people's conversations (not by choice, they were behind us as we went up an escalator) and burst out laughing. imagine being dumb ass friend to your friend and having your friend interpret it as you being a dumb dumb (in that funny kind of way) HAHA.
SGW3990- you LUCKY KID.
i enjoyed the company and everything about today, THANK YOU SGW!
oh the misconceptions.
congrats! (: + school + safe trip + CNY + get well soon!

congrats to all juniors on collecting their results! hope you all did well to go where you wanna go, follow your heart, but i must still say: CJ CJ CJ! haha.

congrats to my sheep too (:*
congrats to sis for A1 in chinese! (: you deserve it!
great minds think alike. same grade, in the same position, whee no wonder we're sisters, *coughs* i mean
cousins.~
like i've mentioned in my previous post, been mugging a lot since orientation ended. well, this trend is occuring for so many J2s, it almost seems weird lah. as much as i have been studying, it doesn't seem enough. in fact, it's never enough, no matter how much one studies. =.=
despite all that academics, i'm always looking forward to council meetings on wed & fri. haha, guess other than my classmates, council is my other source of joy in CJ. esp the CAWing. (: love you guys!
O2 planning is also on it's way, with only about 4 weeks left for preparations. even as i'm not in O2 comm, only a 'mentor', esp the log comm, i dont know what to expect for it. esp after interviewing the potential O2 facils. they have their own strengths, but i guess just the thought of yet again another orientation makes me feel
sian- the whole process having to repeat itself all over again. but that aside, i know i'm gonna enjoy it, last O2! and no sk (for now)~
dad's going to vietnam tmr for a 5 day trip, have a safe journey!~
been doing so much CNY stuff, even if it's just a few days since we started. J1s have joined us, hopefully they'll like doing sk work with us. so much things to do, so little time, a cause for so much worry. omg, spoken like a true mother. =.= ~
aunty see wah's not feeling well, GET WELL SOON! in time for CNY! (:~
yay shannon has to treat me to lunch! and coffee treat tmr, FOR the hopeless romantic, not FROM the hopeless romantic.
i see that wide grin on his face.~
go tell everyone!
coffee & window shopping + yummy dinner (:

went to school for make-up lectures/tutorials yesterday morning. 4.5 hours in a not-fully-occupied LT4 on a cool morning is no joke: i was freezing at the end of the last lecture.
then guan wen & i went to town with a few other facils for lunch, then guan wen and i left for my bead shop in far east (where i spent a lot of money omg, right audrey?), then to popular, then to starbucks at wisma for me to treat him to coffee.
and something interesting/totally weird happened on our way to wisma at what used to be orchard-mrt-now-converted-to-sheltered-walkway-promoting-ion-at-orchard:
ang mohs standing mid way at 2 flights of escalators and being pretty for all of us commuters to see. then more random people holding signs pointing the direction of wisma, and even more random cheerleaders
attempting to dance to weird music playing in the background. and they get paid? =.=
**a disclaimer: i cant order starbucks coffee for nuts! arghh.chatted for quite a while at starbucks, haha, it was quite fun. each of our stories. oh and the gossip too.
we went window shopping after that, in a quest to look for flip flops and guan wen's coloured pens. he finally got what he wanted at taka, thanks to me (: i didn't get my flip flops, but not only did i widen my options. haha. to put it short, we combed wisma and taka, (well, only those shops that poor teenagers like us can afford) exchanging tips and
whateveryoucallkit. it was also interesting shopping with a guy like guan wen (no sarcasm intended! really!) haha, it was an eye-opener.
left town at about 6+. guan wen went for dinner with his IG, and i went home to feast in yummy food that uncle vincent prepared (not specially for me, for aunty see wah) it's been a long time eh?
back to mugging after all the fun.
welcome home!

aunty see wah is back from UK! yay! whee! (: (: (: (:
only 1 thing bugs me, till now: i had classes till 4pm today hence i couldnt get her from the airport.
oh and i could have gone on an exploration of T3.
so that makes 2 things.
hmph.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
met michael as i was going back to class after break today. decided to take a walk to see his classroom. as we walked past the last class on the 3rd floor, the teacher (whose name i'm not revealing) said this to the class:
'look at your feet and pull up your socks.'michael and i laughed. haha. funny funny,
as usual.
gotta get started on work for the day, oh i mean night.
mad rush to chiong!

since lessons have begun after orientation ended, i've been mugging. like seriously mugging, in the beginning of the year, as if i'm gonna sit for an exam the next week. it's not just me, somehow it's happening to all J2s.*wth?* it's coming hard and fast, yet somehow i know that everyone's pulling themselves together to make it right.
an upside: i get more sleep. and no more logistics to fuss over and worry about. ok, maybe just the returning of all the stuff.
the only downside is, apart from the new stuff that i'm learning alongside my friends, i'm also catching up on 6 days worth of work- believe me, it's crazy, super crazy.
what's more, i cant help but feeling thankful that the commencement ceremony is finally over. a big relief for me, and i suppose dine too, having taken on O1 comm and co-i/c of commencement.
10 mins of standard chartered finger running marathon at today's commencement (according to joel) on the ivory and black keys of the piano, and the i-dont-know-how-many-times-i've-played-this-song, goodness knows when i have to play the hymn 'we are called' again.
bottomline, i get a small break before CNY mass.
i guess a little retail therapy (attempt to find new shoes) helped a great deal. yay new shoes from mum, thanks! (:
and i realised 2 things:
1. that guanwen burnt my otah at council retreat *gasp*
2. that germaine has gone back to italy ( joyce, jo and i saw her off) I MISS YOU GERMS!
just a small update, i found the need to blog. (:
O1 over!

to sum it all up, orientation was fun. esp all the silly stuff with the facils & my wonderful log comm! (:
from IG20(!!), games in school and the old PA, to bouts of rashes (thankfully not me, but my poor partner alvin was badly hit), through-the-night banner painting at my place, to meeting 1T20,
more games, dragon boating & games at kallang, and finally finale night (ole!), orientation 01:08- fervour couldnt be better!
orientation 1, in short, has been a great experience, though the process of it was very tough, esp during the 3 weeks before orientation. nonetheless we pulled it off (despite all fears that orientation will go terribly wrong) amid all the stress and screaming and hair-pulling and what-not, yay we did it!
thank you log comm & other comms in O1 comm (games, events) and not forgetting our overall i/c & assistant i/c! A JOB WELL DONE (:
thank you to those who helped me through the O1 planning process: guanwen, guin, joce, dine, for all the bitching & screaming sessions to destress (: really helped.
sorry but yet a big thank you to all facils to whom i screamed at constantly (i dont like doing that but i promise it's only happening during O1) for co-operating so well (:
well done facils! (:
good pittance!

miscalculating logistics is a headache.
banner painting through the night after day 3 of orientation is crazy.
sleeping for a total of less than 1 hour on the hard ground on a banner in the garage is hell.
feasting on nasi lemak chilli while
attempting to nurse a sore throat is bound to kill.
with 3 more days of orientation to go, i dont know if i can last that long. but i know i have to and i will try. *thanks jonathan o. & alvin for covering me!*
with more dances that are not the nicest and in the weirdest rythmn and from a self taught amateur is silly.
being unable to priorities is pissing me off.
thanks, guanwen & joce for the little walk to the J block and for the screaming session. glad it helped you, guanwen! we all relieved our stress and shouted/screamed/cursed/whined it away (:
and thanks to my facil partners, jonathan o. & alvin, for always being ever willing to cover me when i'm MIA from the ig cos of log stuff. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!
finally thanks to my mum & dad for being such hospitable hosts and accomadating and naggy parents, cos i know that you are (: <3
and thank you to those who've helped me along the way this past few days.
i'm fine (:
Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account. ~Eccl 3:15

whee it's the new year!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! (:
i celebrated my new year with my sec 4 class ytd, something which i didnt get to blog about ytd. AS USUAL, it was so fun to hang out with them, albeit it was a small group of 11 girls. everyone was their usual selves, crazy, *ahem* dirty, scandalous, and of course, fun. i enjoy these moments, where there wasnt a single guy around to disturb my peace (no offence to all my guy friends), where i probably felt like a real ij girl again. thanks 4/1 for the company, i will always treasure and miss those times (:
this is my new year chain:
new year = end of chapter of J1 life = new beginning as a J2 = orientation 01:08~fervour = As = omg i think i may faint or collapse!quite an easy chain eh?
day #1 of orientation today, already so tired and still fit enough to blog, wow. and there's still 5 more days to go. oh wells, i was tired out even before orientation started, due to what many people say is the consequences of being in the logistics comm. not that i dont enjoy it, cos i actually like to make things organised, so this kinda got me high *i think* and stressed *yes this is so true!* unlike what i feared, today went ok, or what others will say: there's still room for improvement. now that's an obvious fact, cos nobody's perfect. still a bit stressed, but i believe cos it's day 1, more admin stuff and blah blah, so i'm optimistic that the next few days will be better.
so today, i finally saw a whole lot of different uniforms, and i was comforted by the sight of so many ij uniforms, whether or not it was ijtp or other convents. wow. i'm proud of these girls! esp from my alma mater, ie my juniors from ijtp, for choosing to come to cj (whether ro not it's 1st choice) looking forward to more ijtp girls in my group next week, fingers crossed!
my group is ok, i think it's common with all IGs on the 1st day of orientation. i'm also keeping my fingers crossed that my group will be more fun the next 2 days!
and so now i have to thank my fellow facils for all the help, sorry if i've been a terror and brat by screaming at everyone. you all rock at what you do, keep it up, secret weapons! (:
carceng: dont worry even without your acrylic paint i know that shiok house banners will be beautiful! (:
be happy, isnt that your motto?
