Last year, at this time, we were in the bus.. Having our first pho. Having a long journey without music (for most of us, its the first) Very bumpy ride. First happy grass (yes, I foolishly missed my opportunity)

This year, today, I am preparing myself for the most intense week.

And we all wish we were back in the budget terminal at 1pm today.

2009-10-21T20:59:00.002+08:00

Official school has ended. Cliche as it may sound- with the blink of an eye, 1year10months gone like that. Well, this is not the end tho - with the coming very crazy 20 days of intense mugging and 3 weeks of exams! Hang in there friends. We're going to get through this together, with all the love patience care concern peace (and everything under the sun) put together!

My friends - one very major testimony how God is good to me
<3

Okay omg... 2o topics for physics, 22 for math, 20 for chem. and uhhhh econs is .. ya econs.

/My chinese not chui whatttt.

Wooohoo, Sammi's new gospel song is so rockerzz (: Can't wait for hongkong! I need accommodation tho!

Prelims ended, results coming out from tmr onwards. But for now, who gives a sheet. I had fun last saturday, 19/09/09. I realised how it extended to 20/09/2009. But the next day was pretty sucky to be honest.

The fun comes when you have all the awesome people (: OCIP BAC HA 08 ftw.
(Its such a pity that OCIP 09 is cancelled, but heyhey, we will be back for camp next year!)

Before shot.. I thought it was a smart idea, to show the contrast.

All the stupid guys (John, Weijie, Kaixiang, Peter, Tom) squeezed into my 3-seater sofa and broke one of the legs! Got to buy a new one nowwwwww!!

-The sober part ends here.

Heheheh. Being a nice host, I have to think of sth fun to entertain my dear guests. Got this idea from the newyear party this year and got some help from Keith (:
I think this own pictionary anytime. Homez please try this tgt.. And I think we should just get a chalet cos I don't want another saga at St Martins.

42 below, manuka honey. We had this after Jim Bean which killed me (who's the smart one who put the mixer and bottle next to me huh!!) so yeah I don't exactly remember the taste. But yknow what, there are still some left so I can go try it one day!

Just look at John!!

Woooohoooo, I lub this the most! Feeels so ocip-ish :D
Many crazy things happened for this. I remembered Olivia sacrificing for the girls, so that nobody else (actually, me) have to drink. And peter crawling under all the guys just to get to John who was at the other end.

Before Tom left (omg tom arrived at his hostel after curfew. sorrrry)
Semi-gone-ness.

Heheh the 4 of us.. At about 1-2 ish (:

Heheheheh, yes, our phones.
Olivia with her shit colour and undigested vegetable button.
Gen with the turquoise. She was the first to get.
Melina with the yelllllllow.
And of course mine, with the hawt and sexy red :D

Wooohoo my pub head. Publicity comm ftw :D The most efficient ever.

LOOK AT MY SOFA!

Early in the morning the next day.

Queasy feeling the entire time. No appetite ttm (which is a good thing actually)
Bus and car rides are horrible, honestly. And I forgot to bring my earpiece out which means I had no distraction.

(Details in weijie's blog)

(Tsk, brudder nick was worse. And he puked during Kelly's. Tsktsk)

Schooool tmrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :D

Hang in there and there's always stuff to look forward to!

Bananas are also a natural antacid which can help out with nausea. They are high in magnesium which can help relax those pounding blood vessels causing that hangover headache.

from besthangovercure.com

wonderful! (yumyum as well :D) it's a sunny yellow, banana day.

ROUND 2 BEGINS TOMORROW.

On another context, round 2 is coming soon. My dad came back with limited edition Absolut Vodka (: Beat that!

2009-08-23T00:58:00.003+08:00

Shout-out: I MISS MY COUSINS. CHIONG SOON PLEASE?

Wow, Lady Gaga's concert was more than a week ago!! Can't believe how time flies and soon, 30th November would be here! ggxxyyzz.

Somehow getting the hang of studying. But yknow what, that means I am damn horribly addicted to Iced Triple Grande Non-fat No-whip Mocha. (Ok, when I'm broke, I downgrade to Iced Tall Non-fat No-whip Mocha) I look at the schedule for the next few weeks and I think this addiction would get about 15323643 times worse.

I remembered how Mr Fang mentioned that we should at least try to get 6 hours of sleep! Hawhawhaw no way ttm, it's impossible. To be honest, Idk how I am surviving right now. Its no wonder I am looking more and more chui every time.. (I dont even bother putting any facial products except foundation)

On a side note, quite a while ago, Xunqi named all my random "theories" as Markxism. Was telling Melina about it and she began to boast about her history/economics knowledge.

Melina: if I remembered correctly, Marxism failed (I think we studied in history in secondary school)
Melodie: Yeah I think so but thats when Markxism comes in cos Markxism does not fail! You see, its spelt as m-a-r-K-x-i-s-m.
Melina: Ya, thats why. With an additional K, it means it fails a MULTIPLIED time.
Melodie: Wow.

DON'T BLUFF!

Studying at the airport till late is awesome!! I should attempt to one day, and take the last bus of 858 (which I think would be very very empty) Lucky Melina's parents/sister sent me home or I would be caught in this wonderful rain. Heavy rain = Optimum for sleeping. Oh.. but wait, I have to go Simei to study before tuition!

Past/Prayer/Priority/Passion/Persistence.
Damn, I think I need to start from step 1 all over again.

I think I need time + coffee more than I need sleep.

From guilt to hope to motivaion. Life is more than receiving and giving disappointments.

2009-08-10T00:14:00.002+08:00

Had the last official national day celebrations (in school) last Friday.
Tho I kinda needed to be alone at some quiet place initially, it was a blast towards the end of the celebration :D
From the taking photos to the stupid pull up bars to the damn-random-human-race!
We should do more of such awesome stuff and roll on the floor laughing :]

zzz econs tutorial was a bummer and yeah we left school about 3 ish.

Love mugging at SSC SB with YSG (heh excessive abbreviations!)

Today (Sunday), the few of us went to Airport SB and gosh, there were more muggers than coffee beans! It was fun talking rubbish and watching stupid stuff on Nick's laptop.
"Hey Teh, I want some teh" HAHAHAHAHAHA.

And we thought of really stupid stuff to put on our farewell video! I don't understand the one minute thing, cos definitely, credits plus maybe intro takes up one minute already.

This is such a random post, but anyway, can somebody ask me out for a drink? Kthx.

Major phailed mugging session.
<3 honey :]

Okay, I neeed to get back to my weekly running routine.

Every breath it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain
Weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing
Just when you think the road is going no where
Just when you almost gave up all your dreams

-BEAMS :D

Seriously, that yingqiu! Hahahahahaa.

I MISS KYM CHEW SO MUCH ]:

Anyway, my annoying old first generation iphone is giving me damn a lot of problems! It tends to delete my new messages (in certain circumstances) and the problem is I have no idea who sent that msg which got deleted. So if I do not reply, it might really sometimes because my phone is giving me problems. And I didnt manage to find out who sent that text. I am getting so frustrated about it and no longer want to take the extra effort to ask around whether they replied. I have one today (Thursday) at 10pm... Till now I hve no idea who sent and am feeling a bit uneasy about it...

Hate whats happening around.

Have been having persistent nausea feeling since the start of last week. Searched the net and thats what it said:

1) Irritation or stretching of the meninges

Eg. Raised intracranial pressure caused by intracranial tumour

2) Pelvic or abdominal tumour

Eg. Mesenteric metastases
Metastases of liver
Ureteric obstruction
Retroperitoneal cancer

3) Bowel obstruction secondary to malignancy

Eg. Mechanical - intrinsic or extrinsic by tumour
Functional - disorders of intestinal motilitysecondary to malignant involvement of nerves, bowel muscle or blood supply
Paraneoplastic neuropathy

4) Gastric stasis

Eg. Drugs (anticholinergics, opioids)
Mechanical obstruction to gastric emptying:tumour, gastritis, peptic ulcer, hepatomegaly
Autonomic failure e.g. in advanced diabetes

5) Chemical/metabolic

Eg. Drugs - anti-epileptics, opioids, antibiotics, cytotoxics, digoxin
Metabolic - hypercalcaemia - consider if drowsiness,confusion, thirst occur, particularly if sudden onset
Toxins - e.g. tumour necrosis, bacterial toxins

6) Anxiety-induced

Eg. Concern about diagnosis, treatment, symptomatology, social issues,anticipatory emesis with cytotoxics

7) Movement related

Eg. Abdominal tumours
Opioids
Disease affecting vestibular system

After having been exposed to several GP questions, I realised a similarity to what we face in life as well. In your lifetime, you're given expectations, you're assumed to do this, you're assumed to do that etc. But the question is, how far? How far are you WILLING to? How far CAN you? How far do you WANT to?

And most of the time, if not all the time, I wish these questions will stop bombarding. Cos there is no such thing as the right answer, there is no perfect answer. There is no ending.

I need to stop being pushed, I feel like exploding.

I had a loody awesome Friday Night :D to distract me from all "shit happenings in life"
Thanks to all of you there mansxzxz. Life should be like that, and we should do it often.
Right, after the next 4-5 weeks are gone. Nehmind, at least there is something to look forward to.
"No more partying till after As" is a lie! Cmon, no harm, honestly.

Hahahahah we're awesome people who can cook our own chinese meal.
With 5 dishes (Fish, Chicken, Tofu, Vegetables, Prawn) and 1 soup.
Of course, with traditional stuff like saying grace, no booze with food and no texting. Heheheh.

Hahaha so you kinda got some clue what happened after dinner right.
4 bottles. 1 baileys (thanks to wj) 1 bottle of wine (thanks to yh) and 2 bottles of smirnoff (thanks to yh and CAT hehehehe) Anyway I ultimately detest smirnoff but if given, just bottoms up luh.
Just to clarify with a very very very very (I cant emphasise any further) honest and unbiased stand, Charmaine and I were completely sane and aware. Tyvm.

Never never never ever be deceived by photos. A picture speaks a thousand words but behind the thousand words, there are hidden lines. Lines that clearly "reads" WE ARE SANE AND SOBER.

Lubdubsxzx ttm.

Yours faithfully, Meh Mark.

And to the Ms Universe who said "I am extremely humbled to be able to represent my country to stand on this stage, on this night. As Ms Universe, I will strive to make the world a better place. Please vote for me. I am not a bimbo and I believe in word peace!" -pokes big solid ass out with a flying kiss and megawatt smile... HAPPY 18th! Yknow I lubdubsxz you and you know I am probably the only one who will vote for you should that unfortunate event above happen. HAHAHAHAHAH :3

[Got this from Fiona's blog. Every single word she says hits right there on the spot...]

Well, you know what. I'm glad I held out till now to post about OCIP. Because, this...shit i dont even know how to describe it...this MONSTROSITY of a camp just threw me into a turmoil.

And as all stories go, we have to start from the beginning.So first, we were planning the camp. All the x-number of drafts and proposals that Olivia and I did are now inconsequential, because on hindsight, these were but mere trivalities. So fast forward to Naveen messaging us one month before our supposed LAST DRY-RUN before the camp, saying how we were expected to turn up blahblahblah. Doesn't matter. Then, lo and behold, camp was POSTPONED. Because of a certain porcine-related illness. Fair enough. Everything pushed back by a week, briefings were given, messages were passed down, and all was fine.

Then came this tornado of disasters that just helped to spin everything out of control. I can only parellel this to a phosphorylation cascade via signal amplification.

1) Night trek cancelled. All the hard work put into the trek by the night trek team gone to naught. Camp split into 2. No contact between the 2 camps. All manpower split up, we had to re-learn games, re-learn duties etc etc. But not a big deal, really.

2) No overnight stay. J1s get to GO HOME AT 10.30PM ON THE FIRST DAY. This, I must say, would be the issue that left me utterly flabbergasted among all the things that happened. No need for further elaboration, because the overnight stay was the crux of the CAMP (note the nomenclature) that allowed us to identify the leaders behind the sweat and blood they had to suffer.

3) J2s couldn't be involved. OHMYGOD. This really hit me like a ton of bricks (pardon the cliche). I seriously felt like I was grieving. Suddenly bereft of responsiblities, I believe that everyone who was involved were taken aback, and even this has to be an understatement. It was like, the first time in OCIP history that this happened. And even the teachers were stunned. Nobody knew who would and could run the camp. We couldn't have 7 teachers with 101 campers.

I have to diverge from the cascade a little, because this is simply major. Hope initially came in the form of the senior-seniors, i.e. the J3s and J4s, who ran previous camps and were not part of the "graduating batch of the school". When it was announced that we had to hand over every single thing to them, my heart literally dropped. As Mr Ho said "It's not a full circle", and to be honest, I think all of us needed time to digest it, needed time to let go. The worst thing was, we couldn't say no. But at the same time, it was as though we couldn't bring ourselves to say yes. Something like that. But whatever it was, it had to be done and the camp had to go on. So changes were made to the proposal, arrangements were made to brief the seniors, we called them up individually, Mr Ho even Facebook-ed them okay.

4) OCIP Camp confirmed to be CANCELLED. Just today. Mere hours ago. And I was just at a sudden loss for words. Because even though all these happened, even though we could only watch as miserable BY-STANDERS, at least the camp was going on, at least the J1s could learn something. At least they could go overseas without being clueless and helpless. But no, they had to cancel the camp. Because they were worried that the J3s would carry the virus with them and spread it. Oh, for the sake of XXX. When I got the message, I just sat in the classroom, stunned. I literally couldn't process anything that Mr Chong was saying at the moment, and anyone knows that if I were to give my fullest attention to any teacher, it would be him. I couldn't speak for the next 30mins, simply because there was nothing to say. Then the frenzy of messages and phone calls to Olivia, Melina, etc etc, the usual camp gang. We already made plans to what to do when we couldn't stay over in the school. We already decided to go to school under the frigging PRETENSE of studying so that we could watch them. And poof! Bubble burst. And wrecked this tsunami on me. Couldn't stop wishing to go home so I could weep.During break, went to cafe. Saw Olivia and Melodie, and we initially just passed by each other in silence. Cause there was simply, again, nothing to talk about.

Each of us processed it in a different manner, in our own fashion. I had to bring myself back from shut-down mode, so I seeked laughter. I laughed with my classmates, and it made me feel better. I needed a hug, so I got it from Olivia. And that was that.So here I am, reeling from the shock. But what I feel is not so much disappointment, but regret. It is regretful that the juniors do not get to experience the camp, because their foundation will be built there and it is this strength and discipline that will sustain them throughout the journey. It is regretful, that because of this pandemic, that our batch has skipped the conclusion of our OCIP journey and jumped straight to the epilogue. We are unable to share our experiences with the juniors. In short, we broke the link. And because of this, the juniors cannot conduct the camp next year for their juniors too. But herein lies the hope. Because if they can't do it, then we'll have to step in. We'd probably conduct the camp, only skipping a generation of OCIP batch. Perhaps this will make up for everything else.

But for now, I'm still not really speaking. Haven't said more than five sentences since reaching home. In a temporary state of mourning I guess. Still, I'm constantly trying to remind myself that God makes everything come together for our good.

-

Till now, I can't process much of what's happening. Some people might not be able to understand the pain most of us are going through and yknow what, I don't give a shit. I just know my chest hurts so much and I get hugs trying to make myself feel better. But the tight feeling never ever goes... Not till a while later I'm sure.

Today is actually quite a good day to blog about Cricket Invitations.

So yeah, on the 23rd May, SAjC organised a Cricket Invitations. Including two teams from SA, there were 8 altogether.

Well, to say it in a very subtle and gentle manner, it has been a pretty rough journey. Right from the start when we didn't know if we were all going to be playing in the game till the end, now. Despite everything, I do know that I have seen a lot, learnt a lot and had my own fair share of joy. Pain and anguish.. that's part of life, what to do?

I just know that now, I miss trainings - self-trainings at least. (Its no wonder that in the 08s18 homies quiz, they described me as one who go for self-trainings more than the official trainings) Its a wednesday and technically, this is the first wednesday that I didn't receive any relay that there is training.

Captain! She is the most amazing one, I am sure all the team2 can vouch for that!

You have my utmost respect and yknow, you were amazing!

I so miss batting :/ :/

Most of team2 people :D

XQ, cheer up :D Things will get better soooner or later.

/To the team, it has been a great experience together. Who cares about the lack that we have, when we have so much of chemistry. I will always remember the encouragements you all gave, and the fact that we never give up tho clearly we were fighting all the imba teams! The runs that we have, tho not enough for us to win, were sufficient to us as a team! Its a pity that Saturday was the only time we can play tgt but sometimes, it is just more than a competition. You are the best, down in my lubdubsxz machine :D

Hellllo B, thanks for coming down and staying almost throughout everything. Hahah you came when I needed you and thanks for being there when I was chicks-ing and knowing exactly how I felt about everything. Love you :D

Spooon too (we didnt have time to take photo) but yeah, you came so early! Hahah and being there too, my most vulnerable! Thanks a lot :D Your smiley choc soft cake is da bombsxz :D Love you :D

Genia.. HAHAH your idea about the hairband. So cutesy lor!

And Yihan, for really wearing that mansxz! Thanks a lot.

To the rest who came; my sister, Jx, Kx, Wj, Kelvin, Ph, Dh.

Your support is definitely an encouragement to me :D

And Gen, don't worry that you didnt manage to come. Your call and texts were enough, honestly. I don't need poems and stuff to make me feel a lot better. I love you :D

/k I should just get back to my work ]:

2009-05-24T12:40:00.002+08:00

What does it take?

And though she smiles
There is something just hiding
And she cant find a way to relate
She just goes unnoticed As the crowd passes by
And she'll pretend to be busy
When inside she just wants to cry

2009-05-21T21:18:00.002+08:00

Idk why I am blogging when there is Skill A tmr. I seriously can't wait for this week to be over.
Two spas and invitations! It is really vair bad falling asleep almost every lesson!
I need sth stronger than coffee and/or redbull :/

Pretty photos to make me feel much better! And I so have the urge to hit the 'rocks' again!
Oh but I received a message from my cousin on fb. Hehehe chilling session at CQ soon probably :D

Ok.. ONE MORE FRIGGING DAY!!!!!

I feeel so chicks I feel like killing myself now. And I think tmr is going to be worseeee ]:

Please.. distract me with whatever possible ways you can.

And fix that shoulder back into position please :/ :/ :/ :/

I had a pretty awesome Friday - the day that kept me going through the week.
The spinning effect and burning stomach... I like.
One hell of a week, it takes so much energy to just keep myself awake in lectures/tutorials.

Baileys. Bitters. Vodka. (and the cycle repeats)

-

On a really happy note, starbucks brunch is finally in Yishun :] Opening soon!

Happiness x 10 to power of sideways 8. It brought a smile to my face early in the morning!

And I thought I could share my happiness with you

7 days! Chicks ]:

If God, for a second, forgot what I have become and granted me a little bit more of life, I would use it to the best of my ability. I wouldn't possibly say everything that is in my mind but I would be more thoughtful of all I say. I would give merit to things not for what you are worth but for what you mean to express. I would sleep less, I would dream more because I know that for every minute that we close our eyes, we waste 60seconds of light. I would walk while others stop; I would awake while others sleep.

If God would give me a little bit more of life, I would dress in simple manner, I would place myself in front of the sun, leaving not only my body, but my soul naked at its mercy. To all, I would say how mistaken they are when they think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, without knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love. I would give wings to children, but I would leave it to them to learn how to fly by themselves. To old people, I would say that death doesn't arrive when they grow old but with forgetfulness.

I have learned so much with you all, I have learned that everybody wants to live on top of the mountain without knowing that true happiness is obtained in the journey taken and the form used to reach the top of the hill. I have learned that a newborn baby holds, with its little hand, his father's finger, it had trapped him for the rest of his life. I have learned that a man has the right and obligation to look down at another man, only when they man needs help to get up from the ground.

Say always what you feel, not what you think. If I knew that today is the last time that I am going to see you asleep, I would hug you with all my strength and I would pray to the Lord to let me by the guardian angel of your soul. If I knew that these are the last moments to see you, I would say 'I love you'. There is always tomorrow, and life gives us another opportunity to do things right but in case I am wrong, and today is all that is left to me, I would love to tell you how much I love you and that I will never forget you. Tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone, young or old. Today could be the last time to see your loved ones, which is why you musn't wait. Do it today, in case tomorrow never arrives.

I am sure you wasted the opportunity today to give a smile, a hug, a kiss and that you were too busy to grant them their last wish. Keep your loved ones near you; tell them in their ears how much you need them and love them. Love them and treat them well; take your time to tell them "I'm sorry", "Forgive me", "please", "Thank you" and all those loving words you know. Nobody will know you for your secret thought. Ask the Lord for wisdom and strength to express them.

-Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

(Way too many thoughts)

1. Got my first nose bleed - by a cricket ball.

2. School notes suck all my money.

3. I hadn't had starbucks for a really long time; I'm beginning to find myself weird.

4. Complexity of the heart.

5. Where's the line? I haven't crossed it, have I?

6. The desire to cut thatttt particular hairstyle is getting stronger and stronger, ohno!

7. Sometimes (or rather, most of the time), we don't get what we hope for.

8. I like silence.

9. So frustrated at how my skills just refuse to improve.

10. I need a hug.

11. 5th May is coming ]:

12. Unappreciated - whats new?

13. I have a confession to make... I hope I get sick/injured.

[EDIT]

Most things break, including hearts. The lessons of life amount not to wisdom, but to scar tissue and callus.
-Wallace Stegner

FYI; Definition of Callus:
a. A localized thickening and enlargement of the horny layer of the skin. Also called callosity.
b. The hard bony tissue that develops around the ends of a fractured bone during healing.

After discussion with my biology and vair physical (hehe) friend - Brenda, we kinda concluded that hurts make us stronger, yet hardened towards certain things.

Ethical Medical Dilemmas

1) A 47 year old woman is brought by a paramedic ambulance to the hospital because of severe injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. She demonstrates signs of shock including significantly low blood pressure, and appears to be in need of a blood transfusion to prevent death. The emergency physician, Dr. White, explains the seriousness of her injuries, the need for immediate blood resuscitation, and the high risks, including possible death if the transfusion is not administered. In spite of her injuries, she is conscious and appears to comprehend the seriousness of her medical condition. She refuses the transfusion and clearly explains her religious objections since she is a Jehovah's Witness. Dr. White faces the ethical decision as to whether save the patient's life and give her a blood transfusion against her will or honor her religious beliefs and allow her to die.

What should the doctor do?

2) A 25-year-old man was out drinking with friends when he fell and hit his head on the bar. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors discovered he had severe swelling and bleeding of the brain. Before the doctors declared him legally brain-dead, the man's girlfriend arrived and asked for a testicular biopsy - she wanted to retrieve his sperm before he dies so she could conceieve his child. The doctors had to decide whether the patient would have granted her request.

3) A man managed to live with HIV with aids for 14 years without revealing his condition to his famiy. He was admitted to the hospital with pneumonia and instructed his doctors not to disclose his illness to his family or friends. His condition rapidly deteriorated, and he fell into a coma. Several family members arrived at the hospital, including the patient's brother, who was his health-care proxy agent. Were the doctors obligated to honour the patient's wishes, or should they have informed his brother of his condion.

During our last cricket training, this Australian father and son went to SA and kinda talked to us. They gave us sth and I thought it is freaking amazing so gonna put it up here to share :D Have fun reading, its really awesomeeeeeee.

(I know not everybody knows the rules or how cricket is played. But the point is, even a game/sport can be linked to God and our life.)

There are many times when our lives get offline, when we are not living up rightly. Like the cricketer who is bowling wide of the mark, often our lives have gone astray. The Bible calls this sin and it has a devastating result. Probably the cricketer who bowls this way won’t get the batsman out. But the result of our sin is that we are “out” with God. The bowler may even be hit for six if he strays offline. Our lives, too, are affected badly by our sin.

There is only one way to get our lives straight with God. We must put our lives in the hands of the only One who has ever lived a truly upright life, who never got offline, God’s Son, the Lord Jesus. He would have been a great opening blower- He lived a perfect line and length! Yet Jesus took the consequences of our waywardness when He died on the cross. And then on the third day Jesus rose from the dead, He started His second innings! The result is that through our dependence on Him, we can be “in” with God. We, too, can have a glorious second innings one day in Heaven, but we won’t get that chance unless we put our trust in Him.

Today is a relatively goood day, and finally I'm seeing some hope.

No words can express how I'm feeling right now. OCIP and Service Learning.

I think I have enough feeling crappy about my results and getting so frustrated over so many things. Let us remember what we have learnt and apply them in our daily lives. What's the point of going through so much and yet we don't learn.

Heartaches everywhere I go.. It's scary how things can get so bad within 3/4 months of the year. BT's are over and well.. that means results are out.

I was just thinking what it had been the last few days when I was on the way home. And when I got home, I suddenly thought of the book Dao got for me few years back "Touch points for Hurting people"

Psalm 61:2 From the ends of the earth, I will cry to you for help, for my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety.

When you are overwhelmed, go to God in prayer. When the whole world seems to ignore you, God listens.

Isaiah 43:2 When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.

When you are overwhelmed, God is there with power to help you. Alone, you will drown in deep waters of difficulty; with God, you will prevail.

Psalm 63:1 O God, you are my God. I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you.

In your disappointment, move toward God, not away from him. Running from the one who can help you is not wise.

Proverbs 27: 16 They may trip seven times, but each time they will rise again. But one calamity is enough to lay the wicked low.
Micah 7:8 Though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord himself will be my light.
2 Corinthians 4:9 We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going.

The best response to failure is to get up again, holding on to the hope that God gives you through faith.

/So despite all the disappointments, discouragement and stress, believe that God will bring us through. Life sucks that way; but we can go through this tgt ;]

2009-03-23T20:06:00.003+08:00

I lost a MILLION friends today.

You wanna be my friend? Cmon la. (sheepish smile)

And fmylife.com is seriously daily entertainment dosage :D

2009-03-14T20:11:00.011+08:00

Hey all, I'm back to blog woohoo! Okay, quite an image heavy post. Actually getting the photos from facebook is good tho the quality won't be that good. It was fast uploading the photos up here. I bet if I got it direct from Nick, I would have died trying to do a proper post mansxz!

Don't ask me why this is the first photo. But hello, its "the MARK of a saint" so.. yeah Mark rocks, I know kthxbye.

So after GP on the 11th, I went to Cathay Starbucks with Kx to mug for annoying Chemistry and Math. And yeah, Dao and Kx were in cahoots (no wonder he looked as if he was waiting for somebody)

Tada, Pam and Dao suddenly appeared behind me. happygalsxz91part1. I hadn't seen Pam for a long while mansxz (but can't beat that tracy!!!) I felt quite mean cos yeah I had to leave to meet my sis around that time. So couldn't really talk much to em but its okay, I can't wait for the 17th wooohoo :D

The insist that I must be 81, and not 18. What in the world! Songz.
Zomg can you imagine us in sa uniform when we are 81?!?!!!
Bet every possible thing would be sagging! Mmm.. I mean the skin!

Dao looks quite unglam but heheh its a happy photo :D

Proper shot :D

Look, they did this puzzle thing! Hehehe damn nice, I like x 10 to power of sideways 8.
Oooooh, but the photo at the bottom left ah.. No nicer photos meh!!!

Then comes the actual day, 12th :] My sissy insisted that I stayed up till after 12 (but the espresso shots were keeping me damn weirdly awake that night). And mmhmm, fam gave me a slice of cheesecake (all photos are kept to ourselves cos yeah ... unglam in an understatement) Damn mother funny, my dad, mom and sis sang me a happy birthday ACAPPELLA each! Seriously..

Anyway after which I went to sleep. And ggxxyyzz, I hadn't overslept this year and that morning got to be the first. You wanna know why why why why???? Cos I dreamt of Ms K, and she freaking remembered my name. I could have flipped and died on the spot if it ever happens! But loody shit, I bet my 18th means much more than that stupid dream.

Charmaine gave me an invitation in the morning :] Shoot I forgot to take a photo of it but yeah, it was awesome. It was shaped like an Absolut Vodka bottle :D And mmhmm, Gen gave me the awesome-est greeting. She came from the back, gave me a half-priced (cos it was frigging one sided) reduction. And a bunch of bananas. Hehehe lovely, I hadn't had bananas for a long time!

So yeah, lets get to the bad side of the day. Had Math paper and I swear I hadn't done any math paper worse than this time. I am sideways 8 x 10 to power of sideways 8 depressed about it, and don't bother telling me that I can do okay. Because I think getting a loody E would be good enough. Got out of the classroom and I saw Nelia panicking. Sigh Yiwei apparently left halfway during the paper. It was quite a sight seeing everybody taking out their phones trying to call that stupid girl but only to get annoyed by the ringings.

Was quite glad that Gen was there cos I was feeling really horrible. Math + impending Chem death + worry for Yiwei was enough to kill. Thanks HSB :]

Caption: The visit to the zoo. Spot the monkey and the visitor!

Chemistry was... Nuff said. Hahaha but guess what the amazing thing is, both Gen and I missed section B totally. And we both thought to ourselves during the paper "woah not bad, 15 questions. I have more time to go back and look at it" zzzz.

Gen, Kx and Angus then gave me a cheesecake :] Rushed home to bathe change and pack my bag to head to St Martin's. I then began replying all the messages and boy, it took forever. Xunqi, you're not the only one okay! HAHAHA, stop whining about the 18 hours delay heheh. Stupid Genia made me walk up and down, up and down. I intentionally took mrt to Dhoby to take a bus to St Martins. When I was near St Martins, I called Genia only to realise they were already at Taka (in which I could have just drop at Orchard) I got to Taka via underpass, they told me to meet em at 5th floor. Took all the way up and guess where we decided to go for dinner? Basement! HAHAHAH okay I'm not complaining :] Life's good with em around. (but genia, you watch out!)

Spooony :]
Shitake I realised we didn't take a proper group shot.

We went to Crystal Jade (hehehe fits me to the tee) to eat. And we sat on a round table which is awesome cos it looked like some family reunion dinner. Tho it was a lil weird cos we were a group of vair young people among the families all around. Spammed their chilli (hiaozz, how I miss Hongkong!) Charmaine and I wanted to mark our friendship again by having our 11.80 brocolli but we didnt. Charmaine, do you still have the receipt? What was the date?

After which, Charmaine asked if I wanted to go to the toilet. I innocently accompanied her only to know after that that it was on purpose. Hahahha but guess whats the funny part? She and I both got lost in Taka while trying to find the rest. HAHAHAHA! But it was nice, the whole cake surprise. Happygalsxz91part2.

TIRAMISU WOOHOO! I love this picture a lot :]

heheh I look damn happy.

Okay, this looks like Spoon is presenting me a certificate or sth..

"I wanna thank my dad, my mother, my brother, my sister, my uncles, my aunties lalala"

Group shot :D

After that, the rest went to Charmaine's apartment. While Nick, Yihan, Yimin, Charmaine and I wanted to go to Market Place to buy booze. Market Place was closed so resorted to 7-11. There weren't Absolut so bought this other Vodka which was price-ripping. Thanks a lot Nick :] And felt damn awesome being able to show my ID cos I'm 18 on that very day. Hahaha the cashier kept staring and wished me happy birthday! Happygalsxz91part3!

Thanks a lot Homez for everything :] Being able to make it for the dinner, the stayover, the fondue. Love you guys and yeah, like I said, unforgettable drama eh!

These two pictures are very nice :] TP is a good photographer mansxz!

I'm not sure what video Hanz were showing us. But its definitely not the gut flopping one. We wouldn't be this calm if it is. Holycrap I really need to show you guys that video. It is gross ttm!

I like this :D

HAAHAHHA looks wrong I know.

Hehe after carrying Spoon :D

Happygalsxz91part4, Peihua and Honey surprised me with muffin and vitasoy! HAHAH don't ask me whats up with the vitasoy. they are cute like that. Yeah, they managed to contact Charmaine mansxz. So sorry for the scare with the guard and thanks a lot for going down tho it was late!

Oh, then comes the drama of the night. Apparently Charmaine has this vair bitchy neighbour downstairs. who is not just bitchy but vair weird and pms-y. She complained to the guard at 10ish that we were vair nosiy! Like wts, it was only 10ish. It's okay, we understand, so we quieten down. Then while preparing for the choc fondue (like how much noise can we make just to prepare that) the guard knocked on the door again! WTHiaozz, the few of us went to hiding except Nick and Charmaine. That guard said that Charmaine doesn't have the right to make us stay there. Like excuse me, she is the owner and if she does not have the right to host any party, then who else have the right!

After he left, we continued eating and played pictionary. Then comes another knock. At first, we thought we should just ignore the guard but when Nick went to see through the peep-hole, he saw policemen. omgsxzwtsbbqflipsnddides, what in the world are they doing there!!! Tell me how bitchy can the neighbour get. It was only 11ish. They left after warning us, taking down Charmaine's particulars and uh talking to Charmaine's mom on the phone. Seriously, all of us agreed that we were noisier last time, watching Friends throughout the night and the volume was quite high. This time, we were just chatting and playing Pictionary!

Anyway sorry Charmaine for everything. Hope your mom has calmed down by now, and uh thanks a lot for letting us use the place everytime.

So yeah, we had our booze drinking. I was damn tired and it was quite fun keeping myself awake on that comfortable couch :] Suddenly at about 3 ish, I got up and was damn awake. Guess what Charmaine and I did while the rest were sleeping and Nick was slacking...

YEAH WASH AND CLEAN UP :] At almost 4 in the morning, we were doing this.

Prepared myself another cup and went back to the couch :] I couldn't really finish it but yeah, I was told "you don't waste that kinda shit, bitch" and mmhmm I got to bottoms up it. Slept at about 4.30 and woke up about 7 shaking! Mother cold.. Decided to shift to the warm spot next to Genia.. Half woke up at 9ish and finally at about 10.

Bummed around till 12ish. Genia, Wensxz, Charmaine, Nick and Yihan went to Cedele to have Carrot Cake while I left for Novena to meet Brends to study.

Yeah, you didn't hear me wrong. TO STUDY! Well, at least that was what Brenda told me to do! Hahahah. I called her when I reached and she told me she had a stomachache and asked me to meet her at the toilet. And to give her a call when I reached the toilet like... HAHAHAHA wts thats damn lame. Felt something wrong. So when I reached, I called her (and btw I heard people puking eeeks)

mmhmm they prepared a for-melodie-mark-five-stations-amzing race!!!

Station One

Venue: Toilet.

Task: Take the lianest photo of yourself with/in the mirror.

OMGSXZWTSBBQFLIPSANDDIES. Having to weirdly detach an envelope from the toilet wall was bad enough. And they still asked me to take those zilian photos (in which if you're my friend, you know I don't!) Zzzzzz, this person was just standing in front of the mirror for damn long and the longer I stay, the more people would think I'm mad. So finally, when she was looking for sth in her bag, I took the photo! Me is no liansxz, so a twist is enough HAHAAHA.

Station Two

Venue: Cold Storage

Task: Write down the price of ten different alcohol. Alcoholic humsup! Take picture with your favourite alcohol.

Hahah this was quite easy but I didn't take with my fav alcohol cos it was in the cabinet so there would be reflection (actually thats an excuse cos the cabinet was placed in such a way people can totally see me) hehehe.

Station 3

Venue: MPH

Task: 1) Ask someone in cantonese "where is the self-help book section?" 2) Read the first paragraph of the first page of the self-help book. Please record your voice while doing this task.

ggxxyzzzomgsxzwtsbbqflipsanddies! This is the worst station. Please, wts it "self help book section" in cantonese. Called Charmaine to help me, but neither Charmaine nor Nick could help me ]: Haha went up to this woman and yeah told her my situation.. It was damn weird and funny! And the second part of the task, I felt like a crazy woman.. But aww, I chose a good book. The last line of that paragraph was "you're that irreplaceable friend to me" :D

Station 4

Venue: Starbucks (which was in another mall, United Square)

Task: Ask the counter 2 questions (and record it!!) 1) How much is a $6 Green Tea Latte and 2) Why is the uglier Chicken Puff called the Uglier one.

Seriously, when I knew that I was supposed to go starbucks, I was hoping that the task is to buy a drink for myself (I wish, I know) but the temptation was so strong seriously. Like what I did for the previous station, I went to the person and explained my situation.

Her answer: 1) 6Dollars luh. 2) Cos its ugly but its actually vair nice inside.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Station 5 (FINALLY LAST ONE)

Venue: Bakerzin

I tried looking up and down for the envelope but nothing. So I text Brenda "Am I supposed to go in?" And she replied with "You think?" Pangsai!

So, I calmly walked in and the waitress and waiter approached me. I didn't know what to do so I said .. "uhh.. I think my friends are there?" And they were like, "yeah, walk in turn right"

ggxxyyzz, how come they know!

It was quite dramatic. My heart was beating damn fast cos as I walked, the closer I am to the bend. And I don't know what is ahead of me when I turn right..... DA DUM DA DUM DUM DUM DUM...

I slowly took a step and turn in....

WOOHOO I saw all of them, all 5 of them. Yiwei, Xunqi, Brenda, Deborah, Lois :] Happygalsxz91part5! I didn't know how to react mansxz so I happily went to the empty seat and sit down (tiring siol) and the stupid 5 of em ignored me. They pretended I didn't exist yknow. After a while, I realised there was another envelope on the table.

FLIPS AND DIES, I was like "whattt, another one?!?!!" I bet they were controlling their laughter...

But hahahha the task for the last station was to spot them. Which is uh... they are in front of me right? So I just stared blankly at them... They continued ignoring me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They kept saying some ghost just sat beside em ]: ]: how can they. So after the Tiramisu (woohoo) cake arrived, they finally talked to me. Alright, "spotting them" means uhh saying hi to them? I thought I did when I arrived.. I thought I said "zomg hello zomg wts wts" I bet the wts and zomg covered my hello. HAHAHAHA.

Third tiramisu :]

HAHAHAH WTHiaoz.

SMGG LOVE!

Thanks alot smgg, am so touched by all the effort you girls made. Tho I bet people thought I was weird and suspicious (I could have gotten into contact with police again if they thought I was suspicious loitering around ouside their shop while I try to find the clue). But hey, I'm fine with embarrassing myself just for you girls and everything you all have prepared. Thanks a lot :D

Mmhmm they got me a SB :D

and look at the 4/7 rainbow coloured bracelet.

HAAHAHAH! Awesome stuff, they each had one on their hand.
I was wondering why mine was so much fatter... They tried explaining and I took damn long to get it. Shitake, I truly believe I am not influenced by wensxz. It's cos of the aftermath of Booze and uh lack of sleeeep!

Poor Brends was not well so she went home and Deborah left cos she has Dental. Brends rest well alright :]

Headed to Square 2 for a korean lunch. Zomg first meal at 2ish, I was starving..

"School's a facade" HAHAHAHAA.

Toook real long to get a proper photo mansxz.

So we just ate, sat there and talked for 3 hours plus, almost 4 mansxz! Quite cool how we have so much to talk about :D

Left at about 6ish, to head to Clarke Quay to meet Weijie, KaiXiang, Fiona and John.

Look what WJ got for me!! WOOOHOO happygalsxz91part6! HAHAH but I shall not drink it. Valuable mansxz :D

Guess where we ate? Hooters! HAHAHAAHHA! John was seriously damn funny okay! Talked for a bit and I shared 7up+vodka with wj! Am glad Melina is gonna plan another one after BT's. She couldn't join us cos of her training trip to Malacca with almost all the Team SA from various ccas. Can't wait mansxz.. Oh and we saw really wasted people along the river. Unglam ttm, there's always a limit please.

So, yeah as you can conclude, I was happygalsxz91 :] Thank you everybody for the surprises, the activitis, the presents, the cakes, the greetings. And definitely, the love :]

2009-03-14T13:37:00.002+08:00

I told myself I'm gonna blog about the whole 12-13March fun today. But after seeing 78 different notifications on fb and almost 40-50 fb mails, I thought I should do it another day. HAHAH! I am still fighting the fatigue and I think I can sleeep foreverrrrrrrrrrr!

On the whole, last two days were a blast mansxz! Oh no wait, 11th was too cos Pam and Dao surprised me :D My two most pervertic friends :]

Damn a lot of surprises this year and I'm happygalsxz91@hotmail.com. But hahah its cool how my friends know me! I had three tiramisu and two cheescakes! They are kinda the two kinds of cakes I love woohoo :] Tiramisu rocks everything please!

So yup love everywhereeeeeeee. I lubdubsxz y'all.
Esp Homez, SMGG, OCIPVietnam, Dao and Pam, Dorothy and Peihua :]

.. Drama much.

2009-03-09T20:33:00.003+08:00

My mom sent me this mail.. So yeah, thought I should put it up here to share :]
Enjoy!

The Crosswalk

Every once and a while, a seemingly-simple email comes around that ends up being quite profound. This is one of them.

Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot.

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain.... Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;But God's always ready, to answer your call....He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear...Your sorrows mapy linger, throughout the night, but suddenly vanish, by dawn's early light...The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, to give you His grace, and send you His love.

On a side note, I look scary ]: It's as if I have some skin disease ]:

2009-03-07T09:58:00.002+08:00

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL just for laughs!
You can totally laugh at my idiotic sister with her harry-potter specs! HAHAHAAHAH.
(and there's nothing to laugh about me cos I'm so cuteeeeeeee! kthxbye! HEHEH)

My sister's friends are da bombsxz. They edited the photo, putting harry potter next to her. Look damn alike, I shall kope it later and put it up here :D

I know this seems a lil humsup... but lets uh, embrace the innocence then.

Study hard peopleeeee.
Cheer up! and yeah, Congrats too.

2009-03-05T21:45:00.002+08:00

Helplessness overwhelms us and we hope so badly, that miracles happen right away.
So many a times, we wish we're in control of some stuff but no, we don't.
And you wonder if the least you could do is an effort enough.

I wish I was better, dood.

But when life breaks down, when we break down, there is no sign, no heart and fast rule. We just have to find our way through.

2009-03-02T19:54:00.003+08:00

[EDIT]
Just look at how red we are.. Esp Xunqi.
(But actually we were even redder on Monday)

Anyway thanks Nick and Xunqi for those aloe vera gel.
And Spoon and Charmaine for helping me apply.

On actual day of Surf and Sweat. Love the singlet mansxz :]

"I don't know what to do about you either"

Yeah, neither do I.

[/EDIT]

(Hahaha this post is so going to look like yellowjetplane.blogspot.com's post!!)

Went to volunteer for NTU Sports Club' Surf and Sweat! Chilling at night and being weirdly wide awake the entire night. Pretty coool arriving at Sentosa at about 5ish in the morning mansxz, wearing a singlet that says "surfer" :] (Yeah lets ignore the coldness) Was the score keeper for Beach Touch Rugby. Chicks mansxz, the games! (Long story, ask me if you wanna know)

So yup, I am now back ... ~~drunk~~ red! Red ttm okay, I think I shocked many people in school today. But xq is worse please (hope you're okay. apply your gel every 10min okay!) Its such a touch-me-not day (HAHA)! But I realise I have such nice friends who take every opportunity to smack my badly-burnt back/shoulders. Coughsnickandwensxzcoughs! Heh but I like the red tho :] Red like lobster siol.

Just 10 random thoughts...

1. Holding on is difficult but if we want it bad enough, we have to hang in there no matter what.
2. I no longer know how my heart works.
3. When is it happening?
4. "Nothing feels right when I'm not with you."
5. Disappointment.
6. Loves s18 and their debates. We live in a world full of questions that we soon begin to stop questioning.
7. Smgg and cricket, the best mix.
8. Referee :D beams!
9. What am I doing?! There is nothing to justify for that 34.
10. Everything is a facade (so Yiwei thinks)

2009-02-26T21:25:00.002+08:00

Saw this in Teja's pm "Need a caffeine IV drop"
Yeah mansxz, tell me about it.

Chemistry and Math Block Test on the 12th.
OMGSXZWTSBBQFLIPSANDDIES!

Long Island Tea :D

"Still got the blues" What an emo yet super sweet cocktail.

Will give a proper update when I get the rest of the photos and when my SPA is over (i.e. tmr omgsxzwtsbbqf&d) but yeah I love chilling :] love my cousins mansxz ;D and mm my mom joined us for our pubbing session! HAHAHAHA.

till then, here I come, Monday..
"still got the blues" much HAHA

2009-02-19T21:45:00.002+08:00

Someone cries and it washes the street with tears
But when they are mine, they collect in my head for years
Rain or shine, still I'm standing on all I said
'Cause it's in my soul, carry on when the feeling's dead

Harsh Reality Check
1) Sucky timetable. Mark asks Wensxz' mom if she can rent 1m square of their living room.
2) Chemistry Practical on Monday (first day kthxbye) Mark prays hard she doesn't screw anything up again!
3) No more free time to buy Starbucks. Mark thanks (in advance) those who could help her buy cos they end lessons early (zzzz)
4) BT's in __ weeks time. Mark knows all of us know the math.
5) Jerry, Kat and Olivia are going to London soon. Mark will miss em ]:

and lastly,

6) Mark needs to go cos there is a long to-do-list in front of her!

]: x 1o to power of sideways 8.

Can't believe I survived through a week without Starbucks! Friday is a happy day. My last happy Friday! ]:

Read this from Bel's blog:

Good friends will be there to take your drink away from you when they think you've had enough - but your best friends will look at you tripping over your own two feet and say "bitch, drink the rest of that. You know we don't waste that kinda shit"

LOLOLOLOLOL da bombsxz ttm :] Hi best friend!

Sleep is the easiest thing to do; you just close your eyes.
But for so many of us, sleep seems out of our grasp.
We want it but we dont know how to get it.
But once we face our demons, face our fears, we turn to each other for help.
Night time isnt so scary because we realise we are all not alone in the dark.

2009-02-08T22:11:00.002+08:00

Read this from Xunqi's blog:

Mark : it's friendship week next week! lets go out!!

So, because of this sentence that she said, i decided to blog. aww mark touched not!!! HAHAHA. and its also because of this sentence, that i feel v v loved. HAHAHA. i think not alot of pp will understand. but its... yknw! friendship week... you'll want t spend w your friends.. your treasured friends... haiy. idk how t explain!! hahaha. yuppy tuppy so i am happy tday!!

get well soon yiwei! :D

i love SMGG!! teehee.

I love SMGG! Today was beyond awesome. The GG session and also the love just flowing around in the room. Those comforting words they said to me. Aww, I love em, seriously. Such friends are meant to last a lifetime. People that you can have fun with (even in the midst of crazy-torturing-muscles-aching-cca-sessions), pour your heart out too and knowing that we have each other's backs.

Sometimes, I don't know what else more can I ask. Contentment. So what if I have lack in certain aspects of my life. I can deal with it, or at the very least, learn to deal with it.

So, yes friendship week ahead! And yeah, vday! :]
Spread the loveeeee ;D Love banks/accounts are gonna flood.

Once again, get well soon Yiwei. Feels weird not seeing you around in school yknow.

I pray so hard the 'check' tmr would be entirely fineee. Please, early morning on a Monday, first day of my week. Don't need it to start on a negative note.

2009-02-06T23:43:00.002+08:00

This week was.. hellish. Horrible, long, tiring, dreading, frightening and everything else terrible you can think of. I am so glad that it is over; but I expect weeks ahead to be as bad or even worse. Like yeah, welcome to the life of a J2 student.

Today was... I don't even know what word fits. Before assembly, math lecture, pe, after gp, cricket. Enough to kill every single positive cell in me. abcdefghij_, you rock so much. Mmm, certain things really can't be said in blogs but I have finally established what Genia thought about the school since she got in. Till now, I still don't understand how appearance will affect my intelligence or academic results. Nvm, I'll get it done.

Anyway, zomg. I am so glad 'lover' is fineeeee :] scared the shit out of me the whole day!

Cricket is omgsxz now, I will never ever feel like going for any trainings. Argh, yiwei, hurry let your injury recover!

2009-02-03T23:42:00.003+08:00

The world has turned its back on you.

I typed one whole chunk and deleted em.

J2 life, this is it.

genevieve: 你的声音是我夏天的原声带

My friend rocks like that. For those who don't know, go listen to Thunder. Its direct translation of "Your voice was soundtrack of my summer"

[/EDIT]

Went to Charmaine's place for cny lunch :] Seriously, I have been to Chinese Garden so many times that it would be a loody mockery if I ever get lost there! No wonder we are officially dating. Anyway, it was a good time spent. Doubt I can actually last today without anybody, alone.

Those that went, without Yihan, cos he got to leave earlier for his youth group.

Hahahahaha the lo hei part was funny shitzzz. We started saying all the random stuff; and I was the one saying the supposedly auspicious chinese phrases. And of course, we never leave out the zhao seng gui zhi (we just wonder who huh. coughs)

Yihan: (with reference to pepper) hu hu, jiao jiao
I learnt from him and said that during my lo hei just now at home (dinner) and omgsxz, chinese phail. Everybody thought I was being crude and saying _u jiao. (fill in the blank yourself) zzzzzz. So don't blame me for giving up on chinese.

Eyes shimmered like krz when I heard Charmaine's mom said "Bring out the balachan!"
zomg zomg zomg. Hahahaha!
Gen, remember the conversation before we left for Vietnam? Hahah good old memories mansxz!

Sigh, spoon wasn't able to make it. Cos even if she rush down after her competition, we would all be gone/leaving. Anyway, hope your competition was an awesome experience! We will have other outings again k :]

Yeah GeniaBeania (!), the love eh.

Hahahaha! And yeah, we so have similiar unglam/funny pose.

:D The eyebags lezziemates. (rainbow!)

Heheh, Jazz/Fat is different today. Somehow there is this warm fuzzy feeling with him.

I know this looks awfully wrong, and that happens to be my leg.

But yeah, he looks so aww-ish here.

And apparently he hides behind me when danger, aka Nick, comes along.

And he's a really emo dog.

Oh oh, halfway through, Charmaine took out baileys, rum and her lychee cognac (I think, its lychee sth). Mmhmm, supposed to drink tgt but I ended up alone. But nevermind, I'm still good about it :] Being protective over my baileys! Hahaha, and the neat rum so totally curls your nose hair! Hahahah! It's been long.

Finally got our class photo from Nick - taken after cny celebrations.

Yeah, meet our new ct. Who actually turns up for lessons and assembly.

Oh oh oh, I forgot to mention. My green-lace converse got its moment of glory when Charmaine wore it for her performance that day! Hahaha stupid Yiwei went "go Melodie's shoes" when the dancers went on stage!

Monday tmr? Oh yeah.

Cause I know how it hurts when you lose the one you wanted
Cause you are taken for granted and everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back

Say it's just a mistake. Think I'd forgive you like that

If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong.

2009-02-01T01:10:00.001+08:00

Dont wonder why people go crazy, wonder why they don't. In the face of all we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that makes us hold it together.

Are you in the dark place?
Yeah.
Yeah, me too.

2009-01-31T11:23:00.005+08:00

Hello! Okay, I realised I hadn't blog for one week. Tho school is... hectic and crazy, but it's getting more fun. Well, I thought doing tutorials were getting better, until Wensxz and B burst my bubble and said that was cos Physics' Current tutorial is the easiest amongst all the other ridiculous tutorials.

Till then, we still have 10 (?!) months more to last.

So, I-forgot-what-date, we had Chinese New Year celebrations in school.

The home room decoration idea was coool :] Rushing whatever we could during that period of time. But at the end of the decoration and a lil walking around, we started slacking in the home room. Guess what we did?

Yes, sat around the dust-bin and started eating the oranges! The oranges are da bombsxz :]
This is what I call home, comfortable even if it seems unglam.

The decoration.. nah, it's the feeling.

Mmhmm, unglam plus candid shots.

Hahahaha! B and Genia weren't there because yes, the loser-ccas-people were having rehearsal for the concert in the later part of the celebration. And yeah, Nick the flyer.

:] During idk-what tuturial.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Had my long-awaited starbucks yesterday! Da bombsxz ttm :]

And cell group reunion steamboat. Which I realise, we didn't take any photos!

Having some mala competition with PH is... hahahah fun! :]

Stop dropping stuff down the valley pls! HEHEHEH.

Cny lunch with the homies on Sunday at Chinese Gardens ;D

See y'all then!

(Credits GeniaBeanie) "friendship is unnecessary, like philoophy,like art. It has no survival value, rather, it is one of those things that give value"

Nice quote and really, it is how much you really value it. People may come and go but there will be those that will stay throughout. And thats what we are ultimately looking for, right?

2009-01-24T23:40:00.004+08:00

My lover and lezzie mate are both not in Singapore ]:
I'm partially sad ]:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. My beloved HSB ;D

Btw, I love your point no 6 HEHEHEHEHEHE. (humsup ttm eh)

Today's svc is imba ttm! My chinese probably went up another notch (but still; its as good as level zero)

CNY; should I still wear heels? If I fall again, it's gonna be ... omgsxz funny.

2009-01-22T22:36:00.003+08:00

Lack of photos ttm, but hahah was looking at some photos just now, and missed the good old days :]

Okay, yknow what, I kinda miss my bangs a lil.

Nicest You-are-late-for-ME-lesson-you-get-locked-out-of-the-class photo!

HAHAHAH!

And yes, the most warm class photo!

zomg how what am I going to do?! Wensxz spam mentos!!!

Sugar high woohoo!

I am happy, we can have our first photo of the year tmr! (prays hard for good hair day!)

Second week of school is coming to an end; and I feel as if I have gone through at least 3 months of schoool! But at least, I had starbucks today, I'm a tad happier :D

Cricket training is _____ now! Well, I insisted on doing skills and other stuff; so after ytd, I got a very ugly ankle guard tan line, a still swollen ankle. Oh no, now its a pain swollen ankle. With the rate I am going, I will fill up a zillion insurance claim forms for sustaining injuries in school during Physical Ed or Cricket Trainings.

With that, happy cheena new year.

and I still wish I am in Hongkong.

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
Its hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you cant take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Interesting conversation today!
"Zomg, we hadn't taken a photo since forever"
"YESSSSSSSSS. My blog posts feel so empty without any photos; just words!"
Whatever happened to entries that has about three different outings' photos!

]: ]: I need new photos.; yknow, its like colours into my chem-physics-math-gp-econs world. Physics MSA was awesome, 20 marks left blank!!!

And I was telling Gen and Olivia about my dream last night/this morning. HAHAHA frigging funny mansxz. I miss Vietnam ]:

/pointless post. but I hate organic chem.

[EDITED] - 17/01/09

I swear I didn't mean
For it to feel like this
Like every inch of me is bruised, bruised
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can you help me?
Can you make this last? This plane is all I got
So keep it steady, now
Cause every inch you see is bruised

First week of school has ended and somehow, it felt real long.. Quotes Charmaine, maybe its because we have exams this week and normally exams start after a whole long term of lessons. Right now, I believe that MSA's are meant to fail so that it would 'force' students to know that they are so ggscrewed and they better get their engines started.

Well, I started my new academic year in a pretty weird way. Thank you very much but I don't think I need stupid/ridiculous/childish people to go round starting rumours that has no basis or anysort. I have no time to entertain you and if you think doing so brings so much joy in your life, then... continue, it's up to you. Just know, what goes around comes around.

And yes, within a span of 5 days, I am convinced that its a "zomg melodie mark, a lot of people, including yourself, wants to kill you, so be careful" week. Yeah, 5 days, 3 injuries. Hit on the head, fall on the knee, and yes the latest one, twisted ankle. Nevertheless, still wanna thank God that my ankle injury isn't that bad tho I sprained that ankle before. Hehehe, I can still wear heels for cny LALAL. but yeah might have to miss pe and cricket trainings for 1-2 weeks.

Thanks to all who asked about my injury and helped me throughout these two days. Esp, Charmaine, Genia, Spoon and Wensxz :] Sorry if I made any one of you look (even more) lezzie. HAHAHAH.

Till then, Happy MSA-ing :]
Lubdubsxz.

2009-01-12T21:25:00.002+08:00

So, first day of school ended.. And I was in school from 7am to 7.30pm. A nice 12 and a half hours! Kthxbye.

Morning started with me going for morning worship for idk-how-long-since-I-last-went. Geez, we were late getting into the CC just cos of morning worship. Discipline rules are getting ridiculous. Skirt not to be shorter than 5cm above middle of the knee cap. Goodness gracious me, that means its at the top of the knee cap! Hello my longest skirt doesn't even reach there.

Training on the first day of school. How wonderful. But PT wasn't that bad and we kinda were dismissed after 1 hour cos we had to prepare for openhouse/cca fair. Hahaha obviously SMGG went to the caf and talk for one and a half hours. Sigh, trainings might change to Wednesday and Friday. Welcome to the life of not-even-a-single-short-day. My earliest would be like 2.30? But most probably tests would be scheduled after 2.30 so .... yay!

-

I'm sorry Mark, for further embarrassing you by accidentally dropping the table on your head whilst you were recovering a metal-pencilbox-hit-ground-and-pens-flew-out situation. Not a very good impression for the first math lecture but cough, you're still my friend right? (Please say yes?)

Got it from Wensxz' blog and yes, that happened during the first math lecture of the year. Doesn't help when Wensxz on the right, Spoon on the left, Gen at the back and Charmaine and Genia about 5-6 seats away kept laughing. IT HURTS OKAY, THE TABLE LITERALLY CRASHED ON MY HEAD. but yeah, Wensxz, nice me is still your friend. (SIGH) LOLOLOL.

First day and the stress level is up to da maximum.
MSA... what?

2009-01-11T21:55:00.000+08:00

cmon, everybody looks good/hot with Mark, the fat next to em.
so see y'all tmr :]
biong biong.

and zomg I can still remember the first day of JAE. after about a year of friendship, I realised that Charmaine and Wensxz were intially vairrrrrrr scared of me.
Spoon, were you? You were the first I talked to!!! HAHAHA. don't tell me you were thinking "who is this freak talking to me!!" HAHAHAH

2009-01-10T23:32:00.002+08:00

Dorothy, Peihua, Daohui and Kym.

Dorothy, Peihua and Daohui are the loviest people ever :]
Just when Kelvin mentioned about how all we need is love, they showed it to me.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year, but...

I'll be there for you... When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you... Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you... Cause you're there for me too.

School life starts in less than 48 hours! Gotta start this right mansxz.
The need to struggle between studies, trainings (yesss!), relationships and definitely, God :D

loves.

2009-01-08T00:00:00.002+08:00

Zomg, while trying to delete unnecessary files in my computer, I saw a few photos.
I suddenly miss school (I know this sounds nerdish but heck)
I think I miss the company and I miss PE lessons (mr ho!!!)

Hahaha yes, I miss catching precious power naps anywhere.

Spoon, I miss you a lot! I hadn't really seen/talked to you the whole holidays!

And actually, I think I miss the slacking times during preparation for PW!
How the class somehow got bonded due to Halo. All the Twilight craze. The ASD-ies plugged into our ears and just bumming around. And yeah, the talkings and camwhoring.

Genia I hadn't seen you for the longest time too! WHERE ARE YOU?!!

/I need to get back to school. But somehow I know I'm going to get all #%#$^& when Monday comes cos of all the tests, schedules, work, assignments, tiredness. Tell me about it.

2009-01-07T23:15:00.002+08:00

Can somebody just give me some morphine?

/Or at least ask Izzie Stevens to drill a 2cm hole, three-fingers above my ear, and see if she can remove any clots or what shit that is causing the headache.
(Geez, I'm so in love with Grey's Anatomy all over again)

2009-01-05T21:15:00.007+08:00

Last night was horrible. I took zomg-don't-know-how-freaking-long to do the team video. And at the very last minute, at the very moment I was ready to publish the file into a movie format, the file mysteriously got corrupted. And I only realised it at 11.30 when the deadline I proposed was at 12midnight (sorry Melina) so yeah imagine all the panic and stress. Zomg, the 1-2 hours after that was crasy!

So the only solution to solve this problem, is to RE-DO! RE-DO, NO JOKE! The 13-minute worth of editing editing and editing. Slept for so little that when I went to the toilet to wash up, I nearly died looking into the mirror. So, Olivia came down to my place again to re-do the whole thing together. Seriously, Olivia, you rock ttm! Thanks for all the help; couldn't have done without you. You deserve to be the pub head, like really honestly! Cheers to your high-ness admist all the rush and hahaha your retardedness :D So yup, we finished all the necessary editing in 5 hours and the final product was view-able at the end of 6 hours! zomg zomg zomg pro notzz! So right now, I just wish that the video is good and that when the team members watch the video few years down the road, they would be able to remember that 12 days!

Yo sup! :] Currently in a vair zz mood and my head is going to burst into infinity pieces soon. Loody headache is back.

On the first day of the year, I spent it with a precious group of people.
E367 :] Thanksgiving cell.

HAHAHA I thought this picture was cool yet funny.

Trying to act out the song "I swear" by All-4-One.
Btw, I want one of those hats!!!

And quotes Dao, the theme of our thanksgiving is "Womaniser" (ahem ahem)
HAHAHAHA kidding, relax, don't chicks. It just so happen we got stuck to the song when we were preparing the video.

Loves.

yayyyyy :D <3

The other day I went to Sentosa Cove (onedegree15 Sentosa) with my mom cos she had to collect her volunteer pass for the Volvorace.
Frigging coool and pretty the place. I'm gonna post the pictures.

The whole stretch of yatchs behind me. Zomg it's pretty shitzzz.

At their entrance lobby. Seriously, just a lobby and it's so pretty!

The bar, in the water..

I'm just imagining, babes in bikini with hunks and all holding a glass of martini.

Lifeeeeeeeee... HAHAHHAHAAH.

ANYBODY (or has a friend) who owes a yatch?!

Can I have my 18th birthday there? :D

The toilet... Mind you, just the sink.

When you enter, there is like this whole stretch of seats for you to just chill out.

It looks like a bar, and not a toilet.

Need a cool place to chill, go there! HAHAHA.

HAHAHAH HS Buddy is sooooooo bitchy tsktsk :] :]

2009-01-01T04:18:00.002+08:00

Got this from a really humsup and damn funny show today.
"The law of Physics states that the hotness of a girl is directly proportional to the ugliness of her best friend"
But hmm, from what I remembered last year (mmhmm, it's 2009 now), Melodie Mark doesn't really follow Physics. So, it becomes..
"The law of Mark states that the hotness of a girl is indirectly proportional to the ugliness of her best friend"
So.. friends, don't have to be scared. We get hot together.

With that, Goodbye 2008 and Xin Chao 2009! '

/And, it begins now.

2008-12-30T23:58:00.001+08:00

]:

I've been twisting and turning in a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart
Well I can't explain why it's not enough

Cause I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to doI
t's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore

You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that's breaking my skin
Well I'll hide all the bruises; I'll hide all the damage that's done
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone

2008-12-30T00:08:00.002+08:00

[EDITED] - with Video1
Hello! Today, I studied from 10+am to 11pm, with a few short breaks in between.

WONDERFUL NIGHT!

NIGHT Y'ALL.

2008-12-26T01:34:00.008+08:00

Time to blog! I had been blogging so faithfully that it kinda feels weird not seeing a new post for mm... 4 days? I shall blog about Christmas celebrations!

My sister and her group of friends (collectively called Big6) booked a room at Grand Plaza Hotel for 1 night from Christmas eve. Yeah, I joined em cos 1) I am vair broke so at least with my sister around, she can pay first. And I can take a lifetime (quotes her "you owe me forever!") to repay. 2) I can get booze without having to pay hehehehehe (what an incentive yo) and 3) friends are either overseas or they don't want me (cos yeah, they are good kids who don't party! HAHAHA) ]:

(from the left)
Samantha, Jolie, Daphne, Melodie.
The 4 who were there earlier to check in decided to go for a swim.

You have no idea how frigging cold the water was. We only stayed in the pool for about 30min cos shortly after, it started drizzling. Pretty embarrassing walking back to our room with bathrobes and towels around us! HAHAHA. Oh and I neeeeeed to get a new costume dammit.

So after bathing and while waiting for the rest to arrive, we entertained ourselves with...
Question: What else can girls do in their free time?
Answers are visually shown below.

Markssss :D

The normal-est shot!
(I kinda place the photos such that it gets less and less glam!)

Quotes Daphne " You have to face the light for em to capture your face!"

I realised my sister has a knack of twisting her head with an open mouth.
Vair glam, Samantha Mark!

HAHAHAH a phailed roller-coaster backdrop shot.

I frigging look like Hollow Man, kthxbye! :D

HAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAH this got us laughing for the longest time ever!

(looks at the one in the middle!)

She was complaining before the shot that she always look the most unglam cos she was always infront (yknow.. big face) But look, a change of position makes no difference... Still the prettiest (LOLOLOLOLOL)

We walked to Suntec at about 5plus for our dinner. Zomg the crazy 5 of them wore the Santa Hat from the hotel, all the way to Suntec. It is not very surprising to see people wear the hat on Christmas eve. But it is VAIRRRRRRR eye-catching when there are 5 of them, walking in one row. Never ever got stared at so much before (even tho I wasn't wearing)

Dinner was at Kenny Rogers and we all got damn high. It's pretty ridiculous how Kenny Rogers assume that everybody wants their muffin. Cos before we ordered, they gave us each a muffin and we thought it was complimentary. Yeah our set includes muffin so after eating our main course, we thought we still had more. Hahah but yeah, obviously those muffins were already given to us before we ordered. Confusing much? Yessss, indeed. We were not convinced so decided to ask 3 different waiters, secretly wishing that one of em would just be nice.. So much for a giving-festive-season, WE HAVE NO FREEE MUFFINS! HAHAAHAHA.

After buying mixers in Carrefour, we walked back to the hotel.

Let's just summarise the night:

Charades, Twister, Ring of fire (drinking game that is vair fun!), movie-screening before we zonked out (but yeah I think only Yuru managed to watch) and 2523953264374363 taupoks (as requested by Jolie, the I-wanna-be-taupoked-kthxbye-queen) and drinksssssssss.

Booze I drank:

Coke with Black Label, Coke with Peach Vodka, Baileys and more baileys (the ultimate!), Lime Martini, Green tea with Black Label.

OH OH OH, they were hungry 24/7 so we ordered macs! 20piece nuggets, 2 large fries, 1 cup corn, 4 apple pies. zzzzz.

Twister on the bed (zomg zomg zomg)

A mini-scale taupok! HAHAHAAH.

(wait till I upload the video)

So after everything, most of em konked out pretty early. I slept at about 4 I think... And yeah you can imagine how much sleep I have.

My eyes became a food platter: Giantic hamburgres (eyebags) with a few cheese sticks (eyelashes) and two baked potatoes (eye balls)

p.s. dammit, can I put fake eyelashes?! HAHAHAHA.

Parents picked us up at hotel and head to Suntec againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. For Tony Romas lunch. zzzzzzzzzzzz, just look at how much I ate within a span of 24 hours! It's easy to guess what sentence comes after the line before, so yeah..

Oh oh oh, cell went to Suntec for lunch so that I could see em or they could see me (whichever luh HAHAHA). Awwwww <3

Got back home at about 4plus after which we went out at about 6 to Cheryl's place :] To do what? TO EATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT (with infinity's T! argh)

TIRAMISU TIRAMISU TIRAMISU (I don't mind eating this for all my meals!)

CharmaineAnnthioShiMin, can we try making Tiramisu again?

Tsktsktstk, not acting their age. HAHAHA.

Married, Retired, University student, Married.

Missed those crazy times; esp kbox (remember the Umbrella video!!)

/So Christmas ended this way. Mood this year phail I think.

Nevertheless, Merry Christmas to all. Love y'all.

http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Lesbian-Girlfriend <--------- might need this too

(I'm gonna paste some interesting parts)

Tips:
1. Smile a lot! Give a gay girl a knowing "Hey, I'm a lesbian too!" smile.
2.Try to look cute and clean most of the time, but don't be overly prissy about staying nicely groomed.
3. Show off your pride by wearing a rainbow necklace or bracelet. If gay girls don't know you're a lesbian they are never going to hit on you.
4. Act confident, but not cocky.
5. Get to know gay/lesbian friends! Even if you're not interested in them romantically, they can be good contacts to other people, and having a gay support network of friends will help you feel comfortable with yourself!

Warnings:

1. People may be prejudiced against you once you get a girlfriend.
2. If they make homophobic comments ignore them; what other people think should not bother you.
3. Watch out for people that may act like your friends. If you tell them you're a lesbian, be aware they might tell the whole school. It's better if you "out" yourself when you're comfortable.

Mark[: Maybe the timing is beating our hearts:

UH AHEM
Wenz/ Did the captain of the titanic cry:

Mark[: Maybe the timing is beating our hearts:

Mark[: Maybe the timing is beating our hearts:

Mark[: Maybe the timing is beating our hearts:
HAHAHAHAH WTC
Wenz/ Did the captain of the titanic cry:
yes we understand your difficulties

/Sigh my friends... But I still love you guys all the same (you'd better aww!)

OH OH OH. I think its damn funny how suddenly people are cutting bangs.

Humsup Buddy cut and Genia cut! (she has the funniest comment. "Mark, you didn't tell me bangs were heavy!" HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

So, maybe you guys can open your eyes damn big, take our your specs, give a pursed smile and put your camera at a higher angle.

-CLICK. photo taken! You can post em up on friendster now! HAHAHAHA.

2008-12-22T00:34:00.019+08:00

Hi! As promised, I am going to give a detailed post (zomg, it is really detailed okay! I took a total of 2 hours to upload the photos. Patience-testing ttm!)

[FRIDAY]
Helped Dao's brother distribute flyers for his tuition with Melina, Kaixiang, Kengchong and Zhian :] Hahaha miscalculation of the time which caused us a change in location! Pretty fun I think! I kinda worked only twice in my last 17+ years. First was at Jiehui's dad's wine cellar for 2 days and now for 2 hours! HAHAHAH. Don't say I am a loser okay!

After collection of money at St Margs bus stop (which btw, Shandy said she saw me at Crown Centre some time ago. I DOUBT SO LAAAAAA), KC, KX and I headed to dhoby ghaut :] Browsed around in Times where I saw plenty of good spiritual books and I saw a book on "Why men has nipples" HAHAHAH. Oh oh oh, and of course I read a bit on slimming :D

In contridiction of the previous line, we headed to Ben&Jerry's to spend the 20bucks voucher won on Sunny Sat :] 3 scoops (Gen, guess what I ate!!) of ice-cream, 1 apple pie and 1 apple crumble. Ehhh I realised, why you guys ordered both apples? HAHAH. Sinful ttm sigh ]:

After much bumming, KC and I headed to Cityhall to meet up with SAJC 08s03 PAE peeps :] It was a while since we last gathered together and ohboy, it was awesome! Being able to meet up with Dionis (zomg I didn't see you for damn long right?) and joke around with the guys as usual.

Dinner was at New York New York whereby I took super long to decide on what to eat. They didn't allow me to have my "diet-friendly" veggie lasagne ]: We had candy floss each but guess what, we were too full and ended up stuffing a whole chunk of it into Louis' cup! HAHAHA.

(From extreme left)

GuoXiang, KengChong, Markkk, Dionis, Louis, Samuel.

I know I phail! HAHAH face too big/fat.

(zomg Dionis, missed you damn a lot mansxz)

Headed to Esplanade after that. Oooh yknow, on the way to Esplanade, there is this underpass whereby they showcase the different art pieces from various artistes. If you've been there, you should have seen the video shown on the wall of a wire being released. GX kinda tricked Dionis that it was motion-sensored so in the midst of everybody walking past, she started jumping, waving and "hello-ing" the projector. ZOMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG laughed like crap.

At the atrium, there were Christmas caroles :] Niceeeeeeeeeeeeee! We kinda had a sphere to ourselves to write our wishes for the new year. Spent a lot of time doing it but it was ... HAHHA let the pictures speak for themselves :]

Dionis

KC!

GX!

LOUIS!

SAMUEL!

So yeah, above our wishes, we wanted to draw our miniature selves. But sighhhh, Dionis' and mine got ruined by the guys.. Tsktsktsk.

JUST LOOK AT CHEEKY GX!! He made fun of me super a lot throughout the night! LOLOLOLOLOL.

That is Markers!! HAHAH

So much for a nice figure, with boobs and ass huh!

Sad (supposedly) Markkk and Markers! HAHAHAH.

New year wish: Not to be like Markers!

EVIDENCE OF THEIR MISCHIEF!

Look at Louis' muscular man! HAHAHAHAH funny shitzzz.

Tgt with our final product :D

After that, we decided to take a stroll along the Singapore river. Walking from esplanade to Raffles Place :]

Nearing Raffles Place.

We kinda stopped at the old Ferry Terminal. And there's this new bar cum restaurant. The ambience there is seriously da bombsxz. But obviously, it looks expensive.

Oh and Dionis started this hold-hands-theory; determining whether you're the one looking after your other half or your other half looking after you. Apparently, when you interlock your hands, whoever's pinkie is on top of whoever's can determine that. Damn funny, both my hands gave different results. So... sexual preference confused? HAHAHAAAHAHA don't be crazy!

Phailed boyband shot (Dionis is praying and ... you can't really see me! HAHAH camouflage into surroundings)

Think the best boyband shot is still the one taken in Vietnam!

[SATURDAY]

So after a really long and tiring Friday, I woke up at about 8ish to go to Tingrui's place. Can you imagine how zonked out I was.. zzz. With dorothypngenhui around, of course she will spam your camera! HAHAHA.

While waiting for Tingrui's friends, we camwhored. And I kinda taught them ways to make you look slimmer! First, take vertically. Next, stand in an angle such that your whole body doesn't entirely the camera. Third... There's no third actually. JUST FRIGGING BE SLIM! HAHAHAHA.

Honey <3>

Finally a proper shot with Dao.

Peihua!

So at about 12plus, Tingrui's friends, Ee Keng and David came! Hahaha we started our steamboat! It was literally veggie-filled; which obviously the guys got very scared! I kept spamming cabbage in and everytime I do that, Kelvin wanna smack me! HAHAAHAHAH. It was an awesome fellowshipping during the lunch mansxz :] Esp making fun of people like honey. The11 pointer who... HAHAHAH nvm.

SLEEEPING! DON'T DISTURB, KTHXBYE!

HAHAHAHAHA SERIOUSLY!

Proper shot before leaving for service :]

As usual, Dorothy wants an informal shot.

Headed to Expo for candlelight service! The prettiest service you can ever go for.

Just imagine, the whole hall is dark. Pastor light up a few candles on stage and from then, the light is passed down and the whole hall get filled up. omgsxz pretty ttm!

HONEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

KX (zomg kudos to him! KC asked me what I did for my whole week. I couldn't remember but KX actually remembered! HAHAH)

mmhmm hungry men (cos no carbo for steamboat!) decided to go Bedok Sempang for dinner!

I had Nature's Valley's Honey and Oats and a Kangkong treat from Kel (thanks mansxz!)

p.s. I think I had too much veggie, there was serious fibre-overload I shi_ted a lot a lot a lot. And my dad this morning asked me if I had shi_ted cos the toilet bowl got clogged up HAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHA. I know I shouldn't say this cos its so unglam but omgsxz, it is damn funny!

ALL OF US :]

Got home 80% zonked out cos I was out for about hmm.. 15 hours!

[SUNDAY]

Had a really really really gooood sleep which I hadn't had for the longest time ever. Bummed about at home before I left for 3e6'06/4e6'07 reunion :]

Memories flooded. Looked at how much we changed and how much we had gone through for two years tgt. Mugging and enjoying admist all the Olevles preparation.

I must say, those two years were the best in my St Margs days :] Never knew what it would be like without em all!

TAMMIE! Tho we are currently in the same school, but it's kinda sad how we don't talk as much aye ]:

JULIAAAAAAAAA! She was the one that brought us more bonded tgt and it's really good to see her after so long! Another one leaving Singapore tho ]:

KYM CHEW! (HAHAHAAH she's wearing the super cute socks she got during the gift exchange)

Just met up with her the other day but hahaha, still missed her lots! She's gonna start her University soon. Doctor-to-be mansxz. And yeah, she will be going back to Australia next March ]:

Bimbotic is her. Seriously.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Don't ask me why.

Joyyyyyyyy!!!! <3>

Keekee (zomg I miss calling you that) and Joy.

Another cute socks HAHAH.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The usual three of us, the most horny three. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH.

Quotes Pam "I lost my baby/varginity shot"

Camwhored by the pool side :]

Joy, Dao and I left at about 9.45 to head to Thompson Plaza's Starbucks :]

Just to chill mansxz.

Thanks Joy for the treat. Lubdubsxz x 10 to the power of sideways 8

Meet up again when you're back! NEXT YEAR! HAHAHA.

<3>

Love you guys ttm! (Tho a few couldn't make it. TRACYTAN, ONE YEAR!!!)

So this is pretty much what happened the last 3 days.

I was just thinking just now, how blessed I am actually. Tho I am broke and stuff, I am still surviving. Treats from friends whom I love a lottttttt and sandwiches from Kx so I wouldn't need to spend that much on food (Melina can testify to that too HAHAH) And also tho my songs in itunes disappeared, I am not as devastated cos Gen and Kx have been sending me songs. Both of you, you rock so much! Hahaha. So I take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me in one way or another. Your help is greatly appreciated and I will remember it very well (my sssssstm doesn't phail me in this aspect) I'll have my means of thanking you guys :D

Oooooookay, finally done! Time to sleep, zomg its almost 4a.m!! Night y'all.

Spent B&J's vouchers :]

Met up with SAJC o8so3 PAE peeps :] Fun ttm mansxz.

[SATURDAY]

To Tingrui's place from about 10ish. Zomgg tired ttm!
Heh, spammed mainly vegetables for steamboat!
And stop all the "hurted" kthxbye.

Candlelight service after that which still gets me meserized :] pretty mansxz.
"candlelight dinner eh!" HAHAHAHA.

Dinner at bedok. Well, actually, Nature's Valley and Kangkong :]

(more detailed posts later; when I'm charged)

If there are three things I can wish for now:

1) freedom (not what you think, more than that)

2) be a better friend (sighh)

3) STARBUCKS DAMMIT!

(oh and I wonder why the slimming didn't come in. Maybe wish no. 4!)

2008-12-20T01:12:00.001+08:00

The songs in my itunes just disappeared.
I am vair vair vair sad; don't talk to me for at least one month. kthxbye.

Be near me when my light is low, when the blood creeps, and the nerves prick and tingle; and the heart is sick, and all the wheels of being slow. Be near me when the sensuous frame is racked with pains that conquer trust; and time, a maniac scattering dust, and life, a fury slinging flame.
— Tennyson

I am craving for Starbucks now; kills me whenever I pass by one!
Somebody, be nice. Choc Cream Chip with 2 (yes, 2) shots of expresso. Thanks.

/2am and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
(Zomg, oldies!!!)

Hi lesbian friend, I love you :] (don't kill me for the photo)
Enjoy your trip and Happy Birthday in advance.

/focus, markkk ]: ]:

2008-12-15T23:53:00.005+08:00

[Mark's add-on]

What else more do you need when you have such friend(s)?

And heh, thanks KX for the post :D Now you know the agony/pain of bloggers yo!
[/Mark's add-on]

Hello people! Today was an eggs-citingzsx day man. Out with the Bac Ha-Yishun gang to watch Twilight. Seriously mansxz it's a good show . Edward Cullen's eyes are super intense and Bella's pretty pretty too! ( But not as good as Bolt ) :)

Anyways, after Twilight, STONED for kinda long, since erm, town has really nothing much to do without dough. seriously seriously . haha. went to Esplanade's top floor and erm, took lots of wacky pics haha. Poor Melina though, the butt of our jokes much to her chagrin.

Watched the nightsky ( or rather, sleeping) on the carpet grass, super shiok, could have just lay there all night haha. Lookin forward to Southern Ridges outing hahaha and yeah, pics tomorrow or something! =)

[Edit] Okay figured how to unzip the folder so here goes!

kx
(p.s this aint mel here haha, she's too lazy to blog. =) )

2008-12-13T23:27:00.011+08:00

[EDIT] - in blue
Okay, very well. I have deleted the previous post and I sincerly apologise to ... Ah shit, to myself! I'm sorry MMYY for putting you through so much trauma! I throughly believe you didn't know what you were doing when you posted that. Quote KX, its OOC (Out Of Character!) And zzz.. to those peopleeeeee out there who tagged, WATCH OUT!

So, today, youth outreach, at sentosa!!! (HAHAHA, adding two more exclamation marks made me happier k!)

-Tonight by westlife plays in the background
"So put your best dress on And wrap yourself in the arms of someone Who wants to give you all the love you want"

- Markkk changes lyrics
"So put your best singlets on And wrap yourself in the arms of sun Who wants to give you all the love you want"

HAHAHAHA. Seriously, the weather was really good; it's been long since I last soaked in the sun! Quotes Kel; prayer really works! Cos on thursday, the leaders and cgcs prayed very hard for good weather. And guess what, it was hot and sunny all the way and the moment (literally, no joke!) we step foot back into vivo, it started pouring! Speechless ttm.

Met Mok at the third last door (HAHAH) of the train at about 8ish and I wonder why is the train so packed on a Saturday early morning! So after subway breakfast (!!!!), we all gathered at the area outside Sentosa Express at about 10am and about 10ish we started our amazing race! It's called Sunny Sat yo! :D

zzzz.. sabo-ed to be group leader.. So cool me of course lead the way masxz! HAHAHA. (okay not that cool. UNFIT + FAT TTM x infinity! Argh, don't ask me about it. kthxbye)

So... 1 HK Mafia, 2 Singlet Gays, 1 white specs dood, 1 marine dood and 1 vair-annoying-facilitator (HAHAHA) formed the group! (Geez, whats the group name? KC sth)

Reached our final destination after zomg 43 min!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA.

Well, we ran like krz and the trek was zomg-omgsxz-tiring!!! HAHAH our dear fac nearly died. The next day (Sunday), our fac attained severe muscle aches everywhere! Hohoho, sorry!

Amazing race, being amazing-race-ish, brings us from Point 1 to Point 2 back to Point 1 and back back back to Point 2. Yeah, you get da drift? It means running running running and running

-promises self to start running argh.

Yup, so basically we had to think which station to go, asked (cute) people for directions and walk/run as fast as we could! WE ARE ENTHU PEOPLE YO! Follow after me, "LOSE CALORIES, BURN FATS. LOSE CALORIES, BURN FATS!"

Oh, and it's really funny how Dorothy attempts to drop hints. Cos seriously, I don't know when is she trying to help or when is she uh.. being yknow, herself :]

Let me give you an example:

Dorothy: Okay, the task for this station, is to duplicate this photo (hands us a photo of merlion and sky tower) using your camera.
KX: What, don't tell me we must go all the way back there?!!

Mark/KC: No, we can take the photo from here (we were at the two towers in Palawan)

Dorothy: The photo can be taken from the left tower. Do not tell the participants this. Oh crap...

KC: LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Mark: Huh????

/HAHAH so basically, she's not supposed to tell us that clue but she did. And even read the "Do not tell the participants this" to us. Oh well, how blur can my dear friend/fac get. But anyway yknow, I only got what happened after KC explained to me at the end of the day. zzzz.

At the supposed hottest spot! (station clue) HAHAHA

Yeah of course hot luh, look who's in the picture. (points to the one in green!) HAHAHAHA.

Yeah, the singlet triplets :D And zomg, it was so freaking hot that the three of us were wettt (HAHAHA MELINA!! Remember the "you make me... uh ya, I know you remember!) but guess what, our fac wore a shirt and a vest the entire time!!!

Btw, this was taken in the tower at Palawan Beach as mentioned above.

Had to do this bonus station thing. Quite fun cos the cold water is pretty refreshing :D

Yeah, finally a photo that doesn't look too unflattering.. Geez.

Last station.. We had to squeeze into this "O", without your feet touching the sand!

Unglam shots ahead..

STONE TIMES....

Mok :]

SHADES!! Thanks, we're cool this way.

KC, Mark, Mok.

(There dorothy, this is also considered featured! Look at you in the photo mansxz! HAHA)

WOAH I TELL YOU; THE JOURNEY FROM LAST STATION TO END POINT WAS OMGSXZ TTM! We had to run from the colourful "Siloso" word (yknow near B&J and Delifrance! Hahaha, I realised how co-incidental. B&J and Delifrance) to the train/tram/bus/beach station. The tram will definitely take ages to come so we decided to run there! Hahah super tiring cos by then it was the last station and we were pretty much drained and dehydrated.

RUN RUN RUN. RUNNNING RUNNING RUNNING. RAN RAN RAN (HAHAHA WTS!)

Yesssssssss, Markkk the fat wanted to die, kthxbye! We were trying to outbeat the other group in front of us.. But hahaha... few seconds late. The super cool thing is, we ran faster than the beach tram! HAHAH. BUT YKNOW WHAT... WE GOT 2nd/3rd place (it was a tie!) SO NOT BAD, LUBDUBSXZ THE GROUP! :D

Honey honey honey, why act cool?! HAHAH.

(Told you - still wearing the vest even after everything!)

CLUE: Standing side-ways reduces the fat-ness of yourself.

(Well, at least in photos. In real life, argh forget it!)

Hi! HAHAHAHA.

I like this! So candid! :D

Yay, left after the prize ceremony! For lunch, at 2 plus.

Left profile argh. HAHAHA.

Mark and Mok! Seriously Mok, what's with the face!

SA :D
(I look terribly shagged! In which I realised, my eyes looked normal in those photos taken while we were in Sentosa. After that, my eyes could barely be seen. The other day Dorothy mentioned about my eyebags. Arghhh. )

Went down Chinatown to visit my sister.. Earphone zz broke! ]:

Accompanied KC to Hougang to cut his hair.. I ended up cutting mine. Cheap but my fringe is short (tho people say there isnt any obvious change) and my hair is omgsxz thin!! I FRIGGING LOOK LIKE AN AH-L. KTHXBYE I DONT WANNA GO OUT ALR ]:

Oh oh oh, we waited for almost 2hours just for our turn. I almost become a fossil cos I was dead tired and I was stoning even with my econs notes in front of me. Hahaha. And during the whole process, I really have convinced myself that my chinese is cmi, like really cmi)

Before.. (Thick hair, come back tonight?)

AFTERRRRRRRRRR. zzz.

GROUP PHOTOS!!

Those that went from our cell :D

Yay, our group rocks thanks :D
(STARBUCKSSSSSSSS!)

STRONG EHHHHH (actually, except our fac. i wonder who! HAHA)

YES, LUBDUBSXZ!

SPECIAL REPORT

Hi Gen, special Delifrance delivery for you! HAHAHAHA

HI PIGGISH DONG! HAPPY AND PROUD THAT YOU SURVIVED POLO CAMP!

MONDAY SEE YA! HAHAHAHAHAAHA.

/I am really tempted to post an unglam photo.. But it would kinda ruin the paragraphing of this post. Mmm... see my mood, I might just do it in a new post. For those people who have the tendency to be unglam, heh, careful :D

/zzz finally done. ZONKED OUT.

(HAHAHAH not that zonked out now cos I had my concussion-treatment in the afternoon!)

2008-12-09T21:52:00.006+08:00

2008-12-08T00:14:00.007+08:00

Geez, I'm blogging again! At unearthly hours again.

I should stop eh?

Quote GG, today is such an eventful day.

Left the house about 2ish and met Melina at Khatib. Seriously not a good idea to walk in heartland areas with dress and heels :/ Met up with Mok and Oli at Borders with the intention to buy stuff like organisers. But we left after a while and headed to Starbucks. Mocha yumsome :] :] Hahaha the beautiful coffee session was coughsRUINEDcoughs when I had to make my way down to Dover to get the dress from Charmaine. And yeah pass her some semen-idk-contained drink (Tsk, still complain!)

And zomg, thanks Melina Olivia and Mok for being willing to go down all the way to Dover and then rush down to Ang Mo Kio after that. Lubdubsxz y'all for that :]

Met up with part of the team at AMK interchange. Left the place at about 6pm, heading towards Thompson Road. Our plan was that we were going to eat at Pho24; vietnamese cuisine. Apparently our expedition leader drove past and saw the sign was still there. (and prior to the arranged time, we kept calling the restaurant hoping to make reservations but only to be 'answered' by the annoying incessant ringings) When we arrived, we literally was crossing everything (fingers, toes, hairs etc etc) and praying that it didnt close down (Cos the one at Millenia walk closed down) We saw the green sign board greeting us when we crossed the road. Happily walked towards it...

"Eh where is it? Is it upstairs?"

Melina and I walked in some dessert place and asked "Excuse me, is there still a restaurant upstairs?"

Waitress 1: "Huh???????"

Waitress 2: "Sorry, closed down"

LOLOLOLOLOL. GG TTM. Ocip has taught us contingency plans so we went to Miss Clarity Cafe to eat :]

The moment we went in, we saw B&J ice cream. Gen, there was Chunky Monkey! HAHAHAHAHAA.

Part of the team, minus Gen, Val Wong, Val Xie, Tom, Dawn, SuAnne, Fiona, Yijun (okay quite a lot!) ]: ]:

The girls there :]

Melina and I walked to Cheeky Chocolate about 3 times in total. Well, I don't exactly mind. Hehehehehe -inserts humsup emoticon!

BANANA :D

yknow-who is enough to melt it (HAHAHAH misleading word)

With Ms Tay, coughsDeliferance. HAHAHAHA Gen, where are you?!?!!!

ZOMG, I might get free rides to school for a few days in a week from next year on. Eggciting shitzz. Thanks Melina Dong :]

Finisher of 42.195km worsxzzz. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAH.

ZOMG! Spoon, Genia, Nick, Yihan! Recycling bins all the way from Vietnam!

I doubt its misused. :] :]

2008-12-07T01:54:00.006+08:00

Hello all :] I got pictures from Melina and Gen. So basically, I just need to find time and (mainly) energy to get my butt down and start my day-by-day posts. I even created a folder named "pictures to blog" so.. yeah the drift is, I really have the intention to blog. Just, wait a while longer.

Not today, but yeah putting up a few photos first :D

OCIP VIETNAM

While walking across the area which had mudslide. Zomg you can literally see the dust flying everywhere with every step you take.

I like this shot :]

JUMP SHOT!

CAPSULE.

After a morning walk. You see the house behind, yeah thats our homestay.

At some random dirty mirror in the "Propaganda Gallery"

Last few hours in Vietnam ]:

While Gen was s___ :D

]: bye Vietnam.

TCC Lunch with Samantha Mark and Cheryl.

YUMSOME, TCC my all-time fav (which btw, are they changing name?!?!?)

We shared Salmon Pasta, Baked Chicken Mushroom Pasta and some Coffee Nut Chix (AHAHAH CHARMAINE!!!) Sandwich.

Of course, Baileys Coffee (no prizes for guessing who drank this), Lychee Jazz and Coffee Jelly drink.

I was sure my expression was as such due to some stupid thing my sister said! HAHAH.

We did the same pose HAHAHAH totally LOL-ed when we saw this photo.

HAHAHAHAHAAH nuff said.

Finally, a proper shot.

(Zomg, ignore the eyebags and puffy eyes. I seriously should sleep!)

B&J's Chunk Fest (Celebrating Peace, Love and Ice Cream)

Rushed down to Fort Canning after church today to meet up with Gen, Mel(ina), Oli and Mok.

When I got there, they were already super near to the counter so yeah cool awesome shit.

Weird flavours were ordered in a way but still awesome nonetheless :]

We just stood in the middle of no where, stepping on super duper muddy grass, with music in the background.

This is Mok for you, Northland and Yishun buddy y0! HAHAHA, delete that photo somemore! More to come mansxz :]

Girls :]

B&J's bus/van that reminds us of our bus/van in Vietnam.

Chilled out at Fort Canning before GGMM's hotness (HAHAHA) killed everybody and we decided to go to Cathay to cool down :] Heh, and the milk-tea incident :D Oh yes we called Ms Tay (Deliferance HAHAHH) and she is super funny/cute :D hope she can rush down later!

Pho24 later :D

/Get me back on track

2008-12-06T00:36:00.003+08:00

I really love them so so so so so muchhhhhhhh.
Pho on Sunday. (Genevieve Gui Si Xiao, you better convince your mom!)
and hopefully B and J later :] :]

Met up with Homez just now :] Missed them mansxz.

/I'm so tired I can die right now.

2008-12-05T16:22:00.004+08:00

I'm thankful that no matter how dark things might get, old friendships can still be rekindled.
I'm thankful for new relationships that help us realise how far we've come from who we were.
And how close we get that we can really be ourselves.
I'm thankful to know that no matter what they say, you can (thanks wensxz) go home again, whether its your home or not.

But the thing im most thankful for, how even on the most giving of days, people can still do something unforgivable.

2008-12-04T21:25:00.003+08:00

DEADLINES DEADLINES DEADLINES!!! Seriously, day after day of meetings. Day after day of looking through reflections. Day after day of looking through videos. Day after day having to think of how you, you, you, you and you feel. Thanks, but I need to get back to where I last left of and continue moving on.

STOP EATINGGGG ZOMG!

/Call me out for a drink, yeah?

2008-12-01T00:15:00.005+08:00

THIS IS VAIR VAIR VAIR BAD. Post-OCIP Syndrome TTM (to the max)
This morning, i sent my mom off for her trip and once again, I got reminded of the day I left.

]: when beloved homies sent me off ]:

I miss everything in vietnam. The weather, the hills, the terracing!

Look carefully, there's GG and MM in the photo [:

]: TTM. miss them ttm.

/i miss the simplicity there, the routine to just help, interact and work. somehow, civilization and technology doesnt impress me anymore. the usual ASD-dependent me no longer need it.

on a lighter (hopefully, literally) note, slimming and exercise regime starts NOW.

2008-11-30T00:45:00.004+08:00

my heart nearly couldnt take it. Im so glad the thailand team is back safely.
esp Charmaine, Brenda, Kengchong, Debs.
humsup George, take care!
and thanks buddy :] stop laughing!
(and my feet is in a terrible state with all the running in heels! toes are red and swollen and i have no idea why, skin tore and is peeling)

2008-11-28T14:09:00.003+08:00

[EDIT]

Just got two pictures from Olivia and dont worry guys, more to come! There is 12.8 GB of photos from weijie. And there are still more from Melina and Gen. Nicely done :]

Awesome 4 :] Really cool company I would have to admit.

Our freaking cool awesome boyband shot.
As from the first photo, we all wore different coloured jeans :]

/and btw Nick you phail terribly. You bluffed Yiwen but you got the spelling of Bac Ha wrongly and I dont blog that way! We didnt do water pumps. Come, let me show you what he blogged on my behalf when i wasn't here.

"HIHI FROM VIETNAM. I'm in Ba Phac now, and we're starting on the water pump that we were supposed to build for the villagers. Ba Phac's amazing! They have aircons and even internet here! I never knew it would be this advanced, since we have to build a water pump. Well I can't say much, so see you guys! Miss you lots, though it's only been a few days!"

So, almost the whole Vietnam team is having post ocip syndrome. We all miss vietnam and each other a lot. Look how much we live and relied on each other throughout these 12 days. HOW NOW BROWN COW. DIE TTM!!

[/EDIT]

Okay guys, I'm back from Vietnam. And I pretty much lost touch with technology that I keep having typo errors and even the television feels weird. For sure, I suddenly don't know how to blog! HAHAHA.

I probably am not going to blog in details right now about the whole entire trip. But all in all, it was a terrific experience in which I have learnt a lot. The nightly debriefs are reflective and good (For once, debriefs ain't too bad) Wrote a lot in my OCIP notebook in which i would probably go into further details on my lj (strictly friends locked)

Stayed in this awesome homestay for 9-10 days at Bac Ha. Slept in this (we named it) 'capsule' surrounded by blue net to avoid big flies and moths sleeping on my face in the middle of the night. Somehow, I love the capsule. It gives a certain individual space but yet, still surrounded by your friends.

The weather and scenary at Bac Ha is ... beyond da bombsxz. Summing it all up, Bac Ha can be equals to Nice terracing + Cool weather + Dragon breaths + Buffalos + Dung everywhere + Shin Chow + Spider webs.

Many interesting stuff happen in which I would tell people personally if I see them. But i can give you a sample of a conversation during meal times (esp, during dinner)

Person A happily eats her dinner and was about to finish up her last scoop of rice. Suddenly Person A screamed!
A: I GOT THE FEELING!
People B, C, D, E, F: SEIZE THE MOMENT!!!!
Person A puts down her chopsticks and spoon, kicks the chair away and RUNNNNNNNN to the toilet... TO SHIT!

HAHAHAHA, so basically being able to shit and excrete toxins made us very happy. But then, there are three outcomes to that situation.
Outcome 1: Person A comes back with a smile (yknow what happened)
Outcome 2: Person A slowly walks back with a pout. The toilet cubicles were dammit occupied!!!! And the moment she sits back down on her chair, Person A sighed and said "The feeling is gone"
Outcome 3: Person A comes back after quite a while. Sat back down and said "Nothing came out, the feeling disappeared when I sat down on the toilet bowl"

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

As mentioned earlier, the weather was really cold. It was about 12-13 degrees celsius. Guess what I was wearing on that day it was so cold! Yihan's Saints shorts and Venn shirt. I wasnt really willing to dirty my windbreaker so I didnt wear. Hahaha lucky few of us were allowed to go back to the homestay after lunch at the worksite so yeah I was kinda forced to go back.

During this trip, I got to know a lot of people better. And I would definitely like to thank my buddy, Genevieve Gui. (which btw, together we form the GG and MM team! HAHAH) Thanks for taking care of me and sorry that you have to eat 1 and a half portion in every meal! HAHAHAHAHA. Thanks for keeping me warm with all those hugs and cuddling :] lubdubsxz.

To go back to Hanoi from Bac Ha, we took a sleeper train. Really cool train which I terribly miss. Melina, Olivia, Gen and I had a really good talk. And I think that will be something I won't forget. Girls talk can really do wonders. I miss them already and Vietnam.

(P.S if I meet you guys, do remind me to tell you guys about "happy grass")

-
I realised that I pretty much said quite a bit about the trip already. More to come when I randomly thinks of some cool stuff. And yknow what, before the trip, I thought that this OCIP trip would be my one and only... But im greatly wrong. I'm definitely going to embark on such future trips. OCIP Vietnam 08 should go together again.

And to those loves ones back here, thanks a lot for those messages, encouragements, love and prayer. I totally felt it even when I was having quote B, donor's fatigue. I missed you guys and hope to see you all soon :]

xoxo,
Mark

5-8 sets
STRICTLY NO SHORTS OR SLEEVELESS TOPS FOR WORK AT VILLAGE.
At least one set of clothes for town trip and berms/long pants for work
Try not to bring old school shirts

Track pants/ jeans/ longs
2 sets
For work (track pants) & sleep (for those scared of cold)

Nice!

Been not well since saturday night. GG and I'm flying off soon. Giddy spells all the way mansxz.
-sings to self in "smelly cat" tune. "Giddy spells, giddy spells, what are they feeding Mark? Giddy spells giddy spells, it's not Mark's fault"

And zomg, B and I walked almost the whole of Bukit Batok just to find this 2000+ block. We almost died, when no matter how we walked, we saw only blocks of 200+. Turns out to be at some industrial area. Kthxbye.
