hi diary=)
gotta type fast cos in library using paid version, so if there're typos... sorry!
recently been very busy and busy being pissed too... haha, the fun side of being busy was that it takes your mind off the rubbishy lil things in life lor..
so i've sorta started eking a living on my own... the railway children! NAH. just giving tuition to a couple of kids... feel exploited slightly cos as u noe, i shower them with 100% of everything----assessments, homework, attention... i even shelved plans to watch movies! GOD
then there's jap proficiency test this sun, which i can die laffing at. IT'S SO FREAKING TOUGH! gosh, is there any humanity at all... but guess i'll just hafta bia... nothing comes for free! i'm gonna take, hopefully, jap lep in jc, so better work hard at it. I AM A MULE~
also started helping out at the geylang east home for the aged with yiling... amazing, known her for so long and so well, yet this is the very first time we venture on something BIG (at least to me) together... i feel really contented watching the old folks read the newspapers and mags we dusted... a bit of a maid there, but still, glad to be of any help... hopefully can get more peeps to help out too! ANY TAKERS?! hee. every 2nd sun of the month there's this ration giving of rice, milo and necessities to the poor living in the vicinity, hopefully can be of help this month!
WHICH reminds me... this is CHRISTMAS! i'm not much of a christ lover, but still, i love xmas cos it sounds x-y, like me! XX. haha that's me all right. besides, it's the season when i feel happy to splurge... on frens and myself and mommy=)
hee, my german pen pal wrote and i loved the xmas card she sent! i forgot what the tradition related to the card is called... but really, it's sth so surprising and heartwarming u'll feel ur heart melting too... from dec 1, to stem the anxiety of lil kids (like me) waiting for xmas to arrive, u get to open a small window on the card. It reveals nothing much... just a part of the picture on the card... but it means alot to me... everyday up to the 24th, u get one window to open and a new surprise everyday! (oops, i opened all 24 already hehe) until the 25th day, u won't find the wait unbearing or anything... it's almost as if everyday of dec was xmas! great idea=)
i love nina... she's so sweet... happy birthday!
and to some OTHER fren who's not. the one who got me pissed. it's hard to explain la. only learnt one lesson. i'll stay out in whatever's that's not related to me. TATAS everyone...
merry xmas and happy new year...
bahahahahahhahahahahahahahaaaa
my toes are happy!

HEY GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
MUACKS!
I was so caught up in the euphoria and adrenalin rush after the O's there hardly is time to report... i Am SO SO SO SO SOOOOOOOO sorry for not coming online and updating this dusty blog; after all, what happened these few days, weeks and even months have been sooOOooOO taxing and looking back, they are indeed the best days of my life!
Ok, just came back from 1A/2A chalet at COSTA SANDS>>>>SMALL<<<<i can't help criticising it! SORRY DUDES! but seriously, it was so small i din have enough space, and hence MOOD to sleep for 2 nights.... caught forty winks on the 2nd night, but otherwise, i was trudging around the place like a zombie.
DAY 1:
Nothing much, reached the chalet at 5 plus (waited like fools for my BEST FREN!!!! AHHHHHHH) and slacked lor... played connect four! ahhahahaha, talk about returning to the age of innocence...
and then during the night, lots more peeps streamed in...turned out that we played daidee, bridge (I FINALLY LEARNT THE DAMN GAME but still suck at it. u tell me, i'm hopeless at gambling card games) blabla, and i din even noe we stayed up! haha, all night yeah, played bishi bashi N ddr on ps. YES! i noe; all my classmates are smart pple...smart enuff to bring playstation and plug it in! SMART DUDES! *clapclap* special mention for sheryl, stef and yaoxu. esp sheryl, cos she dances ddr like e wind...SO PRO!!!!
then at arnd 5, when all of us were half knocked out, there was this match barcelona vs real madrid. let me recall... some tekgor (sounds like bamboo) guy la, got every ger gushing... realised i was the only one so UN savvy abt soccer.... but NOPE! i won't try to learn more abt the faggots. ((OOOOoooOOOops))
DAY 2
went swimming and used up every ounce of my body's strength to execute the moves... then practised (and looked silly practising) butterfly.. OK, i admit, i noe nuts abt butterfly and freestyle, but hey, are you supposed to look like a whale when swimming that?! hahaha, over the days improved alil la. could feel the wave motion riding thru our bodies anyway. LUXURY!
mm, then slacked again, played more bridge and in e evening, rode bikes with everyone else. DON'T ASK ME HOW I OBTAIN THE EVERLASTING ENERGY! and the out of the body experience still not setting in yet... Lemme explain. WHAT THE HECK IS OUTTA THE BODY EXPERIENCE? nope, it's not the name of the next star wars movie, don't think so far, it's more like, u can't feel ur fingers, ur arms, ur limbs or even think straight. it's as if, your body had a life of its own. I dunno if there's a scientific term for that, because apparently i ALWAYS suffer that when i don't sleep for a day or two, but outta the body experience sounds pretty cool enuff for me =)
biking was fun! cos lynn and i threw everyone behind and rode at our own free will, felt the wind in our hair, racing with such gusto and enthusiasm! (notwithstanding e sleepless night...)
then was dinner where all of us were hungry ghosts! hahaha, went to foodcourt, got embroiled in yaoxu-jinyong quarrel. Whatever it was, it wasn't as bad as you might think. they always patch, the organisers of our chalet. If not, it'll be like world war III, or the war between batman and freezeman. everything freezes in their path~
okok, there's so much so little time to spell it all out...that night, we reclined on the chairs by the pool and gazed up at the shimmering nightsky. It was as if the stars were smiling down on us. Suddenly, i realised it had been a long time since i've looked up into the sky and counted my blessings. I thanked secretly for all e frens i have, for all e happy times we shared. Everything has to pass so quickly but we never really did cherish or enjoy... the sky was beautifully serene, and we spilled out innermost feelings and thoughts. It was LUXURIOUS again =)
DAY 3
OK, don't ask me why the blog continues blabbing about the chalet... it's got a life of its own! hahaha, acty no. It's simply cos chalet's 4days 3nights! mighty long, and i can never survive that cos only slept 2plus hours on e 2nd night...
today, i decided i NEEDED, WANTED, CANNOT DO W/O my bed and my home... so after wild wild wet, i'd DEFINITELY go home and PLONK down into my soft tantalising bed=)
but first, www. it was FANTABALLISTIC! gr8 place to be at, and the heavens was kind enuff to beam down welcoming rays of sunlight. There was no rain, but frequent gusts of happy breezes, and everyone lit up like the sky. The foreboding clouds looked slightly threatening, but i guess it must have been our enthusiasm and elation that counteracted them!
of all, we sat on Ular-lah! the most, screamed from the bottom of our hearts on Slide-Up!, and enjoyed the LUXURY most in Shiok! River. Wa, so many exclamation marks, can see downtown east put some effort into getting us EXCITED! hehehehehahahahahhohohoho...
then comes the embarrassing part. can i not say it?!
i see your face change its color. FINE FINE!
we were at the ular-lah! station, and as you mighta guessed, there's always a camera taking our reactions at the end of the ride. the first time i was abit blur, so i joined my frens late in viewing the fotos... then it happened!
i grabbed somebody's arm, not looking at the person. i was tired ok! so tired my eyes were half closed! and my brain wasn't functioning well enuff to associate the image i see with the faces i noe...
eh?!
how come this arm felt a lil sturdier? isit linshan? sheryl? yaoxu? lynn?! AMI!? no way..
it was the lifeguard's arm!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i was chao embarrassed, plus brain malfunctioned, so could only apologise profusely..
and he was SUANING me all the while, can't rmb exactly wad he said, sth like shouldn't any-old-how grab pple's arm ++ sorry sorry sorry!
but wen we left, he was cheeky enough to say, "it's ok, we fren fren ma..."
hahahahahaha... so funny!
that effectively ends my adventures at downtown east... this WHOLE entry sorta dedicated to these 3 days. i love you guys so much, i don't wanna leave dunman ='( i was looking at the grad video and cried buckets at 4A's video... esp the part when guancheng flipped thru the class fotos slow-mo... hate you rowell for doing it up so nicely. it made me realise what i would lose, and what would be left behind.
nothing but footprints in the sand, nothing but an aching heart, nothing but memories in the wind...
