a quickie

ok this will be short. hmmm past few days ive been worrying and poring over my books. a lot of homework! but nvm. and im grateful to those ppl who have been so nice to me. like the kayak girls who got me the new pencilcase and daniel who treated me to a 60cent bus ride, i cant remember the rest for now, but such small things like that really made me happy. wow i think im glad i lost my bag man. made me see what nice ppl i have around me. i know now that if i ever feel messed up i can rely on them to be there. thanks people! all of you who dropped a message a tag or even an encouraging smile in school. well then thats all for now. oh odac results are coming out this sat, so ill tell more on that then. goodbye!

ure enrichment week looks so funkkky!haha hope u had a good time. takecare and keep having fun:)

day 1 and 2 of enrichment week!

well, it's almost noon on the third day of enrichment week and i don't have to go to school! whoppee! :D so right now, i'm one quarter way throught the physics e lecture. it's pretty funny just staring at the computer and listening to the voice of mr koh but not seeing him, yet he's still as funny as ever. oh well, today's just pure BLISS. pure studying! finally i have a whole day's worth of time to catch up and finish up all the work. sigh. that's my sad life for you.
anyhow, the first day of enrichment week was rocking good! middle eastern food rocked my socks! even the rice tasted good! all the meats and salads too! it was buffet style and omg i just kept piling up the food! i was soo stuffed by the end of it! it was a seriously enriching experience learning more about the turkish culture but the food made it all good :) i really love middle eastern food now! thanks to stella, sasha and tiff for making the day all good :) i really enjoyed the time we spent together and the food we ate! you guys made the experience whole! :) rock on babes!






tiff's plate
mine was far too clean!









chicken soup





chicken?









or is this chicken?









?!








fish?










my fav :)


yesterday was lingerie talk! woo hoo! we got free bra straps which we gave to stan and justin cos they've been such supportive friends :) haha. it was interesting to know more about bras and boobs. oh well, it was just pure entertainment! haha. after which, had training. gosh we were ever so high! it was fun :) , for awhile cos then the game got real messy. oh well, i guess we'll just have to be focused the next time round. i must not drop balls! anyway, here're more pics from char's blog:





gilbert and
our new
boots :)




gilbert and the
maroon
boots!







and the ever
wonderful
nj ruggers :D





alright, should get back to physics now. till next time then! you guys have a good week ahead! :)

hello enrichment week!

the week's been pretty alright for me. as it is, i'm still settling into my new class and i must say i think we got off to a pretty good start. although there is quite a bit culture difference, i think i'm gonna, rather, i will be happy there while still keeping in touch with corrine and s15. i just pray that it'll all work out. at least i still have sasha :)
touch trainings are inconsistent, really. tuesday was good. i realised my stamina has improved quite a lot this past 2 months and yes, touch trainings are enjoyable! but pt sucks. haha. yet i know it's good for me. thursday's training was horrendous! drop balls were aplenty and it doesn't help that our senior was pissed off at us. oh well. hopefully we'll get better by next week or coach'll have our heads! and more people have joined! and i feel that the team is bonding :) love all the friends there! you guys have really stood by me :) and we have heaps of fun together! :) i just wish that i would be focus and not drop so many gilberts. urgh!
today was an eventful day! i finally dragged my lazy ass out to jog 6km! and i did it! it wasn't really tiring but my foot hurt real bad during the jog cos of the shoes, which are supposed to correct the way i run. i guess i'll have to get used to these shoes soon! it sucks to know that you've been walking wrongly for the past 16 years and that it can cause knee and spinal problems. at least it's better to correct it now!
next week's enrichment week! woo hoo! no school! :D i can't wait to eat middle eastern food, learn fencing and thai boxing! cool shit :) time to catch up with s15 and stella and tiff :) oh how i miss them! but then again, there's a pile of hw to complete and concepts to catch up on... oh well, hopefully i'll still enjoy myself and start up the studying gear!

hey! i hope you're feeling much better now. i totally understand what you're going through and i feel your pain. but don't worry alright? as often as you've heard it, when god closes a window, he opens a door. i'm very sure that things will turn around soon and everything'll be aright in the end. you're just going through a rough patch and i'm sure that you'll come out of it a stronger person. for now, just be glad for all your friends whom you have made. they certainly are your true friends who have stood by you all this while. i'm sorry i couldn't be there when you were down to comfort you or just be there for you. but don't you worry, you'll always be in my prayers and on my mind. i hope you find your bag soon and get all your stuff back. don't be too sad alright? look on the brightside, you're surrounded by such great friends! i hope we can meet up soon ok? call me wherever, whenever. i'll always be there for you no matter what! you mean a lot to me and you'll always be my darling bestie and partner :) i love you and i hate to see you sad. take care and hope to see you soon!

angry!

it happened yesterday.

i went to temasek to see cherlyn. though it was a short visit and it was extremely uncomfortable standing under the scorching sun, every second was worthwhile! to see her pink face after so long! cherlyn i was happy to see you,thanks for coming out to see me! she's still the same, full of life and she has the same skinny legs, ah! made me miss u so much! eh nvm,we should do this more often. this isn't my last visit to you, cherlyn! :)

then i went back to school for kayak gym training.

and then it happened.

my bag disappeared. yes with my roommate's phone(cause my phone is malfunctioning),my walle,my ezlink, student pass,posb card,newly fixed spectacles,uniform,undergarments,pencilcase,ODAC badge and a packet of wet wipes. oh my goodness i was so shocked and i just felt so numb,i didnt know what to do. this is by far the greatest loss i have ever had. basically for an hour me and rui yi ran around school searching for my confounded bag. finally we had to admit defeat and we went back.

despite me losing so much of my valuables, there was a silver lining to my misery. a bunch of ppl stood by me, consoling me and i cant even express how thankful i am to these ppl. somehow i just felt that God meant this to happen to teach me a few things. like to make me appreciate the ppl i have around me.okay i shall just begin my thank yous.

kayakers, thanks for offering to search the school and for staying back late after training to stare at me and offer me sympathetic looks! i bet none of them knew what to do and half of them knew my bag had bade me farewell at 5 pm before i entered the gym, but they still tried to make me feel better. and jia wei with his story about his friend's phone and sth abt bluetooth! i dun really understand but thanks all. thanks daniel too for buying the watermelon juice.simple gesture but im touched.

pang rui yi. for standing by me every single second and for consoling me everytime a frown creeped onto my face. ure a true friend and ill never forget what u did for me yesterday. rui yi, friends always. even if i drop out of kayak, ill make sure we don't drift apart.

my big brother,thanks for dropping by. seriously it meant alot to me. somehow u always know when to turn up! you're a fantastic sibling to have and ure really angel-like to me. thank you.

today when i went to school i almost broke down,well i did break down in bio lecture cause i felt so overwhelmed with stress! i m rather sensitive i know. i keep worrying abt silly things and when it accumulates i go bonkers. i was previously worried abt studies and cca and this bag thing broke my string of tolerance.in bio i totally lost my cool and plastered on this frustrated look and sat by myself at one corner. so childish, i know. but sth happened that made my heart melt.

thanks for the support in school today. i know i was such an idiot and a brat but u guys stood by me and tried ure best to console me. every hug meant the world to me! i felt really loved this morning! and i cant even say how much i love h.e.l.l.d.a.f.j! u guys are the reason why im surviving vj life! thanks for the company when im doing stupid stuff like taking photos,for offering to buy me ice jelly:p i can see that some of u go out of ure way to help me and i feel really honoured and privileged to have friends like u ppl. its like u guys showed me that u were my friends.i know now that we're not just classmates. we're friends. :)

oh yes and thanks to grandpa ben too. was touched when u told me that u felt sad when u looked at me cause i was sad. appreciate it!and that hand gesture of his. thank you:)

unfortunately i missed my chance to see corrine and marianne in nj today. ill go down another day kae,i promise. wanna see u guys too. wanna hug the hell out of u guys. corrine u better fatten up or ill crush ure bones when i see u. :) marianne i know i hardly say this but u mean alot to me and i want to be there if u need me. so keep that in mind ok. some things i know u cant talk to me abt like sch stuff i wont understand. but if u ever think that theres sth i can do to help, ill be more than glad to render my tender loving care:)

ok i should go now. at my bro's place and i havent eaten ye. hungry! alright.today was a good day at school. love my classmates so much. thanks again u guys for showering me with so much affection. haha! takecare all, im feeling alot better now. :)

hey all. everything seems to be going fine for me. i'm in a much better mood from last week. well, my new class is definitely something. they're much different from s15 but nice guys nonetheless. i guess it's just a different culture and definitely there's a language barrier to overcome, if you know what i mean. but, those dudes are nice! they are making an effort to speak english to us new comers and they're really going out of their way! i really appreciate it much :) anyhow, today was the first time i ate lunch with them. we sat with the guys and they're a real funny bunch... and the girls are just plain nice! i really really appreciate all that they're doing to make us feel welcomed! oh well, i guess it takes time eh? but i think we're getting off to a pretty good start :)
i think i have really changed my mindset about the new class. i was really hesitant and pretty much unhappy with the class on the first day. but after reflections and confirming my place in s12 i've really changed my outlook on the class and i'm really trying to make myself happy, which i am, kind of. oh well, i guess i just need some time. but overall, i think the class is good in its own way :)
at least i'm still keeping in touch with my s15 buddies! and corrine! i'm so glad we have the same pe class! at least now, corrine and i have a chance to catch up despite her hectic schedule :) and all my s15 buddies! i'm ever so glad that we still talk and catch up a lot during school! i really miss them a lot! i just hope it stays this way and never changes! i cannot imagine life in nj without s15 buddies and corrine! life would just suck, honestly. so i pray that things will stay this way! :)
i'm pretty much excited about touch as well! sasha commented that my stamina improved a lot :)) oh my! that really really made my day :) touch trainings have really helped and i'm still interested in the game! how cool is that? touch rugby really makes my life whole :) not to mention the wonderful team! love you guys :)
wow life really is much better for me now! i think doing daily reflections and changing my outlook on life by living a simple life with god makes everything different. so with that, i shall end off my super long post! take care all and have a good week ahead :) cheers!

so long!

hey everybody out there! i wanna say sorry for not blogging for so long! i havent had access to the comp for so so long! ok let me tell u abt my march hols. hmm i went for the odac camp, olc. yes i changed my mind. i think im sticking to odac. kayak is extremely tiring and i like the odacers a lot! well it was a five day camp and we went to ubin and kota tinggi! yes BLIZZARD was the name of my group. i thought it was a loser group at first but hey we came in first! if any of u see this, thx fr putting up with my singing and my shit. and i think its unlikely but if ruoyi ever gets to see this im sorry for being so fickle minded and i think ure a fantastic chairperson. thumbs up! im sorry for saying i regretted gg for the first few days. well we climbed kota tinggi and i loved every single moment. i didnt know i loved climbing mountains so much! i loved the danger the excitement,everything! but i hated the first few days of the camp.run here run there! with that lousy heavy bag!haha but i feel super fit. hmmm and ppl in odac like uncle taekwando,priscilla,jiamin,audrey,yongsheng,stella,esther,yuan li, j wei mr guan yin eugene.. all made me wanna be a part of odac. esp during the campfire. i hope i can be an instructor.ill def miss being a part of kayak but i think i have to let go of it if i wanna pass my alevels. man im really behind in hw!

cher!







i had the greatest time last night. though we didn't do much but sit and talk and eat, i really had the most enjoyable time last night. thanks twinnies and pets, the night wouldn't have been the same without you! love you guys a hell lot! happy 17th twinnies! you guys are really really awesome :)

well, i've thought things through and talked to corrine and xt and i guess, well i'm feeling a bit better about the change of classes. it might not be all that bad and on the bright side of things, i have sasha and one of my issues is solved. so, i guess i'll have to make the best out of the situation. after all, i don't want to be feeling miserable for the next two years of my life. so, yes, i WILL be happy.
holidays so far have been superb. most of it has been spent with the ruggers. gosh! it's fun! :) sushi buffet and just clowning around is awesome with the ruggers. they're such sweeties and i've really gotten to know all of them better in one way or another. thanks ruggers, you've been awesome pals! thanks for listening to me as well and telling me everything'll be alright. it really means a lot to me :)
caught up with chang as well! it was great! managed to shop for presents and i couldn't do it without chang's help. i really miss the times spent with her in ij! still, i really do miss her! but outings with her is always good :D
later tonight will be the dinner with the twins, pets, huayshan and clarissa! ooh boy i can't wait! it's been ages since i've caught up with them! gosh, i really do miss ij sooo much! oh well, till next time, cheers all and don't forget to catch v for vendetta! it's well worth the money! :) have a great weekend! :)

well, things are really horrible now. my worst fears have come true and i'm gonna change class. no more s15. i'm not quite in the mood to blog now but trust me, there're a lot of things i wish to say to s15 and i'll do it soon. for now, thanks so much to gilbert and the loopies who have been ever so sweet in telling me that everything'll be alright. it means a lot to me, really. thanks to tiff, stan, zw, stella and seniors as well. everything you guys said is meaningful and i really appreciate it. oh well, on the bright side, i still have sasha. alright, it's not been a good day for me and i doubt it'll get any better. i'm just feeling the shits and nothing can make it better, really. so till next time, cheers. hope you guys aren't feeling as bad as me. have a great week ahead.

i realised i haven't blogged in quite a while either. well, the week's been pretty slack. not much work to do so it's time to catch up on everything so as to avoid being even blurer when school reopens. on the other hand, touch trainings are becoming more tough.
we just had a friendly with rj, sa and austrailian school yesterday. and us year 1s had to play against all year 2s! obviously we lost but coach told us not to keep score. we played like shit! i let on girl run past me and score a try! i felt so so lousy cos i didn't mark my man properly. i was really so blur cos the rj girls kept getting substitutes and i didn't know who was who. thank goodness, coach didn't scold me for it and she just told me to learn. oh my lord, i have so much to improve on! and the worst is, i have another friendly on tuesday! ah! i hope i can do better by then.. and the team too! hopefully, this friendly gave us enough exposure to improve on our skills and all. it's gonna take a lot of hard work and i'm totally drained. i really need to rest up this weekend and holiday so that i can train harder this hols.
but rockafella really rocked last night and it lifted my spirits! :) oh man! the bands were really great! (except for the screamer. haha) and it was sucha great atmosphere! i got to see so many people! especially all the 4/2 people and marianne! oh man! i really miss seeing her everyday and all that! it's amazing that we still keep in touch. hopefully we'll stay like this! the concert was really superb and the last band was simply awesome! they performed my favourite song so well! it was not only in tune but with great energy as well!! it was well worth me rushing down to cj! :)
now that the holidays are here, i hope to catch up with all my close buddies like twinnies huayshan and chang. i really miss them a lot considering that i have bodyguards now. if not for stella, tiff and sasha's awesome company, stanley's incessant nonsense, justin's lame comments etc, i would have died in class. thanks guys for this awesome company. it really helps dealing with the issue easier. rock on!
alright guys, have a great awesome holiday! take care and cheers :)

02

.wow! i havent blogger for long. anyway today was orientation 2. yes, im afraid i didn't perform my role as an ogl very well cause there were only 4 ppl in my og! haha but i still like my league. all the way, ODIN! haha. alright, back to serious stuff.

today,i made a very impt decision that i think will affect my life in vj drastically. i chose to stay in kayak and not even go for the odac leadership camp.previously i had been confused,as i wasn't sure that i wanted kayak as a fixed cca. however, after the cca walkabout today and after talking to all the kayak ppl i dun think i can let kayak go. all the girls like peiying ruiyi jialing sara, all of them mean sth diff to me. peiying, my bestest heart to heart gossip buddy, ruiyi my shit pal,my honest friend and partner, jialing,my running enthusiastic partner,sara my odac pal:) and the guys are also all super nice ppl even though im not close to all of them i like ppl like jonathan,daniel and yi rui. so i shall stick to the team and be committed. i predict that in times to come,i will be extremely stressed out by kayak because i am one of the weakest but nvm,i shall try my very best.

okay ppl here's some good news. rui yi and i balanced the k2! yes u saw it right,we balanced! it was on sat. me and rui yi were feeling so down at first cause we kept capsizing. then peiying came and really gave us tips and told us the right way to do it. she taught rui yi her method of bracing and made rui yi practice like shit. then we both tried again and we jsut kept going round and round! rui yi was balancing at the back while i pedalled the boat. and it felt so good really. what really warmed my heart was peiying's words:"i didn't want to go to america when i saw you both going round and round!" yes, my dearest pei ying is leaving. ill miss her very much,really. it's so hard to find a true friend like her and her leaving will really dampen my days in kayak and in vjc. love u peiying.

well yes we balanced so well,all of a sudden,it's like we just got the hang of it. then we rowed back to the pontoon! usually me and ruiyi walk back to the pontoon while someone tows our boat back but this time we rowed back! i was so happy and proud and yes, scared, but nevertheless happy. we showed everyone that we did it! after 2 months! well we capsized at the dock and clement flung me up like a fish out of the water (which is the reason why my back is now bruised). haha but it was really fun and fulfilling. next up, speed training. yes i am weak and i am inexperienced,but i shall really strive for kayak now that im sure i wanna dedicate myself to it.

i'm really tired now. didn't do much studying these past few days but i will try to catch up soon. oh yes we had another 8 km run today:( but i improved my time from 58 to 48 mins! haha i think it's cause i really pushed myself not to slow down. yeah! and tmr is mass dancing at suntec. hmmm i cant wait cause i love mass dancing! esp now when i know all the moves already!

ok miss rui yi has emerged all fragrant and wet from the loo so i shall have to let her take over this comp. well takecare all, all the best! if angie sees this, God bless and i wish u the best!:)

06s15!

my besties in class!

i'm really gonna miss hanging out with you guys after the first 3 months! hopefully, we'll remain as a class and never split up! as for yuhe and tonghern, rest assured you'll always be remembered and you'll always be the best jokers and stalkers ever! special thanks to my besties in class! thanks for the awesome company and non-stop food! i love you guys! see you on monday! :)

posting results are out and it's nj for me! thank goodness. i'm really lucky because it was really difficult to get in or even stay for that matter so thank god! i shall not dwell too much on that topic though, the thought of it is way too much to handle.
posting aside, today was a good day!and this week has been quite good too! for starters, thursday was a half day due to the school's great a level results! so thank you nj students! it was a perfect day to go towning and BINGE. haha. honestly though, i was a bit disappointed because i saw lots of vj people but no huayshan :( but nonetheless, class outings with s15 is always great fun! :) budget eating sprees are always a plus point of the day! and stanley and justin's perveted and lame comments respectively, never cease to brighten up my day! i feel that i've truly bonded with my class. although they can never replace 4/2 i think that they're a great bunch in a different way and i do enjoy the time spent with them. i think this class is a pretty rare catch in nj and i am treasuring every minute of it! i certainly hope we don't split up! especially since i've found my new bestie in class! the one and only stella! i really hope we're in the same class man! i'm glad and thankful that i have her in my class! she's really someone i can talk to and have lots of fun with! and on top of that, we have the same train of thought! coolness! :) thanks for the wonderful, superb and fantabulous company stella!
touch has been good too! the year 1s have recently been motivated to train extra hard and we've even added in a morning training to improve on our basics. it was really frightening on the last training cos coach was really pissed at us. i was really stressed out and felt extremely guilty as i think i'm quite the lousy player having no sports background whatsoever. i feel that i, of all people, should work doubly hard to get up to the standard. hopefully, i'll be up to the mark as trainings progress. i'll keep my fingers and toes crossed as well! i promised myself to train hard from now on. hopefully, that'll last! we'll see how it goes!
alright, it's late now. time for some homework (or not) before hitting the sack. take care all and have a smashing weekend! cheers :)
