It's due time for an update and I have quite some time on my hands. So yeah. Haha.
Well, today NJ 'celebrated' Racial Harmony Day. Not only was it like damn late, there wasn't any celebrations at all, except that we could wear ethnic costumes. And even that, only my classmates and a handful of the school actually wore ethnic costumes. NJ is truly a dull school. We even had normal lessons all day, with an attempt to have related discussions during GP. Lame huh? But it was fun wearing ethnic costumes. We were the center of attraction today! Haha. And the best part was that we could skip PE. Haha. Actually cannot lah but we got a very slack relief teacher and we managed to persuade her that it would be too leceh to change out from our costume and wear it again :D
Omg. My arms are getting really sore from typing. Must be due to treacherous physical conditioning that we had just now. But trainings have been quite fun these days. Maybe it's because the group is smaller, so we can bond much better (: And anyone who is interested in trying out Malay Dance, do come to our workshop next Tuesday. I promise you that it will be fun and interesting. Even if you don't intend to join, you are still welcomed to come down. Who knows? You might change your mind :D (Omg. This is so propaganda-ish. Haha)
Oh man. I just found out that my grandfather's brother just passed away. Even though I don't know him well, any loss is still saddening. I will always remember him as the great artist who painted alot of really nice paintings. Hope he had a peaceful death.
Enough said. I'm really darn tired ><
even though the moment's gone
i'm still holding on somehow

This week has been yet another busy and hectic week for me. Schoolwork is piling, malay dance trainings have re-started and there's just a million and one things that I have to do but just don't have the time and/or energy to. And someone kindly reminded me that promos is like only a freaking 6+ weeks away. SHITTES! And here I am thinking that I have all the time in the world to buck up and revise. I really do want to be promoted 'cause another year in jc will drive me nuts.
Anyway, met with Shirin and Huda today. Haven't seen them in what seems to be ages and I miss them so so terribly. After meeting at Causeway Point to have lunch, headed to BP to meet Arifah and collect their O Levels certs and testimonials. I missed Arifah like crazy too! So sad that Nina couldn't make it and the fact that she owes me money shouldn't be ignored either. Haha. And we came back at such a perfect timing 'cause they were having rehearsal for national day parade. I miss St John! I wish I could march with them! I miss listening to my own timings! LOL. And I really really want to watch the parade on 8 August. I don't give a shit to NJ's celebrations, if there is any lah. Haha. Anyone want to join me to go back to BP? (:
Oh and I absolutely loooveee the weather this week. Even though it has caused me to doze off in many lessons this week. Haha.
I suddenly thought of something random. Do you believe in soulmates? Do you believe that there is one person especially for you? Your perfect match? I guess I used to and I want to believe in it still but now, I'm not so sure. I mean how would you know that someone is your soulmate? Any random guy you meet on the bus could be your soulmate and you wouldn't even know it. And it's just as hard to find someone that you love much less find someone who's perfect for you. I guess all of this boils down to the fact that I thought that someone was perfect for me and I even saw a lifetime together ahead of us but boy, I was so wrong. What I really want right now is to just find a guy whom I care about and cares for me back. I need a boyfriend. I've been lonely for far too long ): Any guy up for the position? Hahaha.
Enough said.
We all wanna believe in love.
We all wanna believe in something bigger than us.

I am so damn glad that the weekends are finally here. The past week has been so busy and hectic with homework, VAs and stupid PW. Luckily there wasn't dance practice for the week or else I don't think I'd make it through to type this post. Haha. Let me just recap the highlight of the week which was yesterday.
Ok. So school started off as per normal. Then, straight after school, my PW group and I rushed over to Hwa Chong 'cause we had to interview a teacher there. Practically walked from one end to the other to find him and we were late. But it was worth it. Because we finally got to do our interview and the interviewee is damn nice and handsome - seriously. Wished he was a teacher in our school. Haha.
After that, went back to BP with Dinah and Dhiya for Speech Day. Met many ex-schoolmates but none that we're really close with. I saw the new AC team training though I didn't approach them. And I really can't believe that Nicholas (the guy who skipped many many trainings and even wanted to quit) is now in comp team. I feel really touched (:
We had to report by 3.30 and had to wait a freaking 2 hours for the damn thing to start. I think the ceremony started off well with the band performing a percussion piece which is really interesting and different in my opinion. And there were so many technical problems which were quite entertaining actually. Haha. But the speeches were as usual long and boring. But the principal's speech reminded me of how much I really love BP. And this year, they had so many new activities which are a million times more fun than what our batch ever had. I feel so sad that I can't be a part of it all. If only I was born a year later ):
Although Speech Day itself wasn't all too fun, just being in the building brings back so much memories and reminded me how much I miss BP. Singing the school song and doing the school cheer ALMOST made me tear. Seeing Jia Jie, Sufyan and Nigel (my St John buddies), the new AC team, some of my juniors, Stephanie, our 'training grounds' really really made me miss SJAB so terribly. Although my experience in SJAB wasn't always wonderful and fun, they are all really memorable. I feel so motivated to go back and visit my now Sec 2 squad. Maybe I'll go down with the rest to help train the comp team or something. I'm serious. I really miss SJAB. And I miss malay dance too. Although I'm in Malay Dance now, it just doesn't feel the same. Not being able to dance with my two darlings and the others is really saddening. But malay dance in BP is now non-existent. Sighs ):
I really wish to turn back time and relive the memories I had in BP - every single one of them, even the bad ones. I think I can safely say that the best years in my schooling life was in sec school and the sad thing is that it's all over. I'm not exactly having the time of my life in NJ. It can be fun at times but I don't think I can ever get used to the environment. It just feels so different. I don't even have my close friends (who i miss so terribly) to confide in in school. JC life is so rushed and there's not really a time for you to truly have fun. I miss my friends, the 'recess gang', SJAB, Malay Dance and practically every damn thing about BP ): I want to go back one of these days. Anyone up for it?? Because I sure damn am :DD
Oh wells, the past remains the past. But what I experienced in BP for the past four years will live in my heart forever (:
BP, where's the heat?
Show that you can rock the beat! :D

CONGRATS TO US UMBRELLA DANCE GIRLS FOR GETTING SECOND PLACE IN IRIR!! :D
Though it's only second, it's what we aimed for plus we get prize money which we really need. Really happy for us. I think we performed much better than everyone's expectations. And I'm just freaking proud of us lah (:
But other than the above piece of good news, my day is so not going well. I know it's because of many different things but there's just this one reason that really hits that spot where it hurts the most. For a really long time, my heart hasn't ached so much. I almost forgot how it feels. Almost. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day. I desperately need for a ray of hope to brighten my mood.
And to that person, happy birthday. I may be insignificant in your life right now, just a figment of your past but you have no fucking idea how big you are in mine and how much you mean to me. Happy birthday dear.
Walking down memory lane,
I saw what we used to be
and what we'll never be again.

This will be a short post 'cause I still have Econs homework to do and I'm as you can see, I'm trying every means possible to delay the torture of doing it. Haha.
New EXCO for Malay Dance is out. And I would like to say congrats for those who wanted the position and got it. And for those who didn't want the position you've gotten, I'm sure you would do a good job anyways. If not, we would not have nominated you right? (: I didn't get any EXCO position but I'm fine with it. I won't lie. I was a teeny bit disappointed but after much thought, I realise that this could be a blessing in disguise 'cause I really really need to buck up in my studies and an EXCO position may be too stressful for me. As long as I can dance for Malay Dance, I'm satisfied. Malay Dance has been my passion since in primary school and will always be. Besides, I already had my taste of having a leadership role(s) in secondary school. And it wasn't exactly very enjoyable. Hahaha.
Cut my hair yesterday and I am liking it. Hehe. Though it's abit shorter and thinner than I had expected, I love my new bangs. Yup, I cut bangs. Thought I'd go for a new look. And it was surprisingly cheap. Just $25 for trimming, layering, thinning and rebonding of the fringe. Cheap kan?
Hmm. I can't think of any more updates. But I know I had much more to say when I first typed this out. Haha. Oh wells. I guess it's time for dreaded Econs ):
and that's the reason why
when you're young you fall in love

I'm in an exceptionally good mood today. Don't know why though but I'm lovin it! :D The last three days have been pretty eventful, so I guess I shall just recap...
On Wednesday, I put my first aid skills to good use after a loooong time. Basically, after lunch time, my classmates and I had a free period so we stayed in the canteen to slack. At the same time, there was this guy (I won't mention names here) who was playing 'Phantom of the Opera' on the piano. And he was playing it very loud for over an hour. We were actually quite irritated by him. Suddenly during the climax of the song, we heard a loud sound. When we looked over, we saw that the guy had collapsed and he was lying between the piano and the chair. So my friend and I, being St John members, rushed to help. Had alot of help from the Chinese Dance guys, who apparently, are the only manly guys around. Haha. But they were quite funny but won't elaborate it here 'cause even if I explain it, the effect won't be as hilarious. ANYWAY, just found it very freaky. My friend said maybe he got possessed by the phantom or something. I mean he was like playing the freaking song with such 'passion', maybe he really did think himself as the phantom or something. Damn drama lah. But he was fine lah. I think he had only had a seizure attack. The next day, he was up and about and playing the piano again :X
After school that day, had Malay Dance meeting where the previous EXCO members gave speeches about their roles and what is required for their position. Then, we each got a nomination form where we had to nominate someone for each position. Honestly, I would really like an EXCO position 'cause I really want to take on the responsibility but chances are really really slim. So I won't get my hopes up too much.
Nothing much happened on Thursday or today either. Haha. Ok. So the past three days haven't exactly been very eventful with the exception of Wednesday. Oh and I've gotten back more CT results. So far, I got a B for H1 Math, U for Econs and S for Eng Lit. Happy for Math, expected for Econs and disappointed for Lit - I've never failed Lit before and I really like Lit okay ): Still waiting for GP and History. But I'm not getting my hopes up. I guess I really need to buck up for Promos.
With all that I said, I really wonder why I'm in such a good mood today. Could be because I actually finished early today and slept the whole afternoon. Haha.
And below are some pictures from IRIR on Tuesday. By the way, SHIRIN, the full name of the competitions is ‘Inter-Racial Inter-Religious Music and Dance Competition 2008’. Haha. And if we get first, we will get to perform on the actual night in August, which we want to avoid. But since we need the money, we’re hoping for second :DD

Today was really full of ups and downs, it's like I was on an emotional rollercoaster. And I'm just not strong enough right now to cope with these inconsistent emotions. It's really draining me.
Ok. Enough of being emo, today was IRIR competition! We were released from lessons at 10am which was a huge relief for me 'cause I was really dying during Lit and History and I have no idea why but I couldn't seem to focus during lessons. So yeah, at 10am, went to stinky DS1 to start on make up and stuff. We had professional make-up artistes to do our make-up and hair. So we looked relatively prettay other than the fact that we didn't have enough brooches and stuff (:
At 12.30-ish, people from Suria came to film us! Just had to fake practise and stuff. But we'll be on teevee!! Watch us people! 18 July, FYI on Suria. I think it's 8plus right? Haha. You guys can see my prettay face on teevee if you're lucky. Heheee. At 2.30pm, left school for Toa Payoh Hub where our auditions were held. Waited abit then danced. And we got really good and positive comments. Way above our expectations man. Haha. And the first thing they said was that we could be ambassadors for a smile campaign or something. Unbelievable. The Eurasian judge was so cute - I mean in his comments lah. I think we might actually have a chance of winning but yeah, we're gunning for second (: Oh and me and Dinah were actually 'fighting' over this cute guy from the group before us. I think he's from ITE College West or East? But the point is that he's CUTE! :DD
By the time we reached school, I was dead tired. I didn't eat since like 6 plus in the morning. I really felt like dying and I still had to go meet that idiot. You totally spoilt my mood kay. I was in good mood the whole day, except for the fact that I was tired and hungry, and you just had to spoil it. I rushed all the way just because you wanted to see me. And you just had to make me mad. Fuck lah. Just because you had a lousy day, that doesn't give you the right to spoil mine >.<
ANYWAY, tomorrow is new EXCO nominations and stuff. I really do hope I'll get the position I want. Ok, I'm gunning for VP or SL at least. And I heard there's going to be an SL specifically for traditional dance. Maybe I can be that 'cause out of my eight plus years in Malay Dance, I have NEVER done contemporary. So I know nuts about it. Haha.
Ok. I think this is quite a decent update right? So sorry for the lack of updates. Just didn't have the mood to do so :X
superman is acting like an asshole.

Ok. I think it's due time for an update. Lessons officially resumed on Tuesday for me and so far, school's been pretty slack. Mostly because I barely have any homework and stuff. And so far, I've only got back my H1 Math paper which I got a B. Also got back 1/3 of my Lit paper (Unseen Poem) which I got a D, which is wayy better than what I had expected ((: Not really anticipating to get the rest of my papers.
oh, of course not forgetting...
HAPPY SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAY NINA! :D
Besides that, I have been busy with Malay Dance. I had practices for the past three days and finally, there's no practice today. So I can at least take a break. IRIR competition is next Tuesday but I hope it can be pushed back so that we can have more practices with those who are still at OBS. And I need to start thinking of what position to run for in Ex-Co for Malay Dance. Hmm..
Oh yeah and today, we came up with this uber cool design for a pullover for all History students. And I'm so lovin' it. Hehe. We came up with the idea at around 1.30pm and by 4pm, the design was completed. When we're enthu about something, we mean it. Haha. And something embarrassing happened to me today, although it isn't overly embarrassing lah. Basically, on my way home, in 961, I really got knocked out and slept like a log all the way to the interchange and didn't even realise that we reached the interchange already. And this random guy had to wake me up and he was actually quite cute. Oh gosh. It was embarrassing 'cause god knows how I must have looked like sleeping like a pig >.<
& Miley Cyrus' "7 Things" is so stuck in my head. I like the lyrics, somehow I can relate to it. You should take a listen to it, it's not bad actually.
7 THINGS by Miley Cyrus
I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear
My dear
The seven things I hate about you
The seven things I hate about you
Oh you
You're vain, your games
You're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh
You make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends they're jerks
When you act like them
Just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
It's awkward and its silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it I'll believe it
If you text it I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking seven steps here
Chorus:
The seven things I hate about you
You're vain, your games
You're insecure
You love me, you like her
You make me laugh, you make me cry
I don't know which side to buy
Your friends they're jerks
When you act like them
Just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
And compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention the seven that I like
The seven things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes
Your old Levis
When we kiss I'm hypnotized
You make me laugh, you make me cry
But I guess that's both I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine
When we're intertwined
Everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you
oh, of course not forgetting...
HAPPY SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAY NINA! :D
