25ths dinner plus stayover!

25ths dinner was filled with conversations on university applications, and army talk. and loads of "so have you been working?", "what are you doing now?", etc. nevertheless, it was always good catching up with this bunch of 25ths.=)

met at orchard mrt before getting to jun's house. one funny thing was, i saw cedric running for a bus at around our house, then saw him board the same train as i, and also the same train to orchard, but all the while he didnt notice me though i msged him. haha. he was probably too engrossed reading his book.=P while waiting for people at the mrt, i actually bumped into my bro there. what coincidence.

dinner was not bad. i dunno why but i just ate a lot. felt a little out of place though, with all the small talks going on. in the end, i ended up talking the most to jun's sister.=) reminded me of all the old times in rgs.=X watched movie, played cards, then watched another movie till about 6am. and slept till 10 after that. headed to orchard, and i came home while the rest went to visit a batchmate at the hospital.=X

was a great time actually. just talking to the 25ths, slacking around, getting amused by the rest, and seeing the people teasing the army boys. but i actually feel quite sad, especially when the next batch goes in, cos it'll be SUPER quiet on msn.=X ahhh.

photos! totally love the photos! dunno why also.=)

TAGZ! lizhan; guanghao; jun!

it's so funny we never fail to take a photo at any council activity. probably wouldn't have been able to get into council without the 3 of you. always full of ideas, and of course all the late nights suffered due to campaigning. but i guess it was all worth it.=D

stayover gang! guanghao; wesley; cedric; lizhan; jonny; chinghui; jun

and last but not least!

jun! didn't manage to talk much to her throughout the whole stay though.=X but nvm. whole of next week will be spent with her and my og at bangkok!=) both of us have been talking about bangkok since dunno when. haha.=D

my new year will be spent so tragically.=X haha that just means i'm spending it at home lar. and so sad i won't be able to join some of my classmates for a new year dinner on 2nd jan.=X have been looking forward to meeting my classmates. guess i just have to make some sacrifices.

this is a little overdue, but thanks to these people for their christmas cards!

christie, heidi tan, raisa, nicholas, xiuwen, joyce, yawen(omg i miss her! haven't talked to her in ages. and she lives just opposite me.=X), zhi xian, jun and amy.=)

last day of 2006. scary how time flew by soo quickly this year. as 2007 approaches, i really hope that everything will be a lot better next year. it will be a year of changes, and time for me to step out of my comfort zone. please let me be a brave soul, for once.

bb farewell

last night was bb farewell. it was a simple affair, yet enough to make me a lil nostalgic. thought of the crazy times that my comm went through, the last-minuteness of my comm, everything. though there were only 5 of us there, we still had quite a lot of fun, with all the randomness, and the nonsensical crapping. it was good seeing all the buckle juniors too, and catching up with some of them. now i feel so bad for not being able to crash orientation.=X it'd be so super fun.

met nadjad first to get mr lai's farewell present. we basically just walked in the rain the whole time, and froze in the shopping centres. decided to get mr lai something that he prob wouldn't ever wear, but i suppose that's the style of my comm, to be so random.=D we reached school too early, and watched a bit of their ogl skit. then waited for people to come. the food was good, even though it was carried all the way from s11. took photos, and played uno stacko. we totally sucked. didn't even get past one whole round.=X but it was fun nevertheless.

here is the one and only photo i have of last night. the rest are in mr lai's wife's camera. haha.















joshua; mr lai and tabitha; candice; nadjad; yeeler

i just think our comm is amazing. with all the last minute work, we could still get champion house. really hope we can pass down this kind of spirit plus luck to the next batch, and that they will do very well for buckle-buckley next year, and of cos the following years.=)

evalesco coitum.=)

maybe i should just be more courageous. but i can't help it. i've always been this stubborn when it comes to such matters. i'd rather just let it be a thing of the past. i guess it's nobody's fault, and i dun wanna live in the past any more. so sorry.

25ths dinner later, plus stayover. i'm feeling a little lazy now, but i guess when i overcome this inertia, it'll be fine.=)

bangkok in 4 days.=D

interview.=(

i wonder what i was thinking when i typed the last post. anw! it's ONE more week to bangkok, and not 2 more.=X haha. haven't exactly prepared for it though, but i'm feeling super lazy. like what i always believe in, things will work themselves out eventually.=)

hmm interview today didn't go exactly very well today. i guess there are just so many things that i haven't learnt yet, and though i have a relatively beautiful resume, it doesn't even help, cos what people in the working world are looking out for is the past experience, and sometimes the technical skills, and those are the qualities that i so sorely lack.

maybe i have been too sheltered in the past, and over-protective of myself, only allowing myself to be in my own comfort zone, never ever trying to step out. there are just so many excuses that i can give myself, and at the end of the day, i will never be successful. i guess sometimes i over-simplify too many things, thinking innocently that i'll be able to solve problems as they come. but that's never the case.

am i too naive? yeah probably.

i guess one thing that i got out of the show is that, escaping just doesn't help things at all. life won't be smooth-sailing, and the main thing is to make sure we do things without regrets, and face problems bravely. i guess i've been such a coward when it comes to certain things. i will learn not to. but i guess that takes time too.

maybe i haven't been wasting my time the last few days at home. at least i've learnt something.=D

i think being in love is such a powerful weapon. can't imagine someone changing so much. wish him all the best then!=) still a long long way to go.

it's so funny, everytime i'm at home, my bro goes out. everytime i go out, my bro will be at home. and each time any of us is at home, we'll be bored to death. with the internet connection down in the afternoon, and my bro out, i could only sleep, and watch vcds.=X

tmr will be quite exciting though. i hope.=)

softball farewell.

i think the softball community is so bonded that i feel quite proud to be part of it, yet a lil sad that i'm not close to most of the softballers. at least i know what's true team spirit now, and what is it like to be fighting for one common goal on a competitive level. though i wasn't as involved as i should have been, and i know i shouldnt regret that, i was still glad to be introduced to such a family.=)

farewell today was relaxing, and funny, as usual. the games, karaoke, self-made food, presents. sometimes i feel so bad that the guys are so nice to us. i think they spent a bomb on the presents.=X and the presents are all sort of personalised. plus the bouquets during prom. so sweet, really. and our juniors too. will really miss their bubbly personalities.=X but glad most of them liked our presents to them.=) and to the 3 of you, thanks for being there as well! for being the inexperienced bunch and surviving trainings together. trainings would probably be a lot more dull and unbearable if not for you guys.=)

some photos from today!























captain shuxian; vice-capt bernice; treasurer val; qm jocelyn; yenling; licia; cons; jem; annabel

didn't manage to take photos with a lot of people though.=X

it has been raining non-stop the whole day. i dun like rainy days, it's so inconvenient and mafan. but i guess when you're trying to sleep in the afternoon, rainy days make it very comfortable.=)

found out in the most unexpected way. it wasn't as bad i thought it to be, or probably because it didn't mean as much as it meant to me last time. i guess the tough times are over, and i'm glad.

interview at sph tmr. hope everything goes on smoothly. and yes lets hope i'll speak confidently, and project a good image of myself.=)

and yes HAPPY BIRTHDAY PONG! finally 18. haha!

2 more weeks and i'll be shopping at bangkok at this time!=D heh.

prom pics!

just thought maybe i should upload some photos of prom. although it's a bit late now.=X but memories are never too old to be remembered huh.=)

s06h. simply love the class.=) thanks so much!

jc life has been so wonderful cos of so many people. thanks so much!=)

merry christmas!

merry christmas!=)

my christmas was so unexciting, as usual. sometimes it's actually great to have some peace while everyone else is celebrating away. maybe i just dun like occasions like these, makes me feel very out of place. ah well.

one good thing is that i'm actually spending a lot more time with my family these days. staying at home helps i guess. but i've been staying at home TOO much. sometimes i just wanna go out, explore more places, do more exciting stuff. i'm such a dull person.

at least the week ahead will be better, with softball farewell, 25ths dinner, bb dinner, movie outing! looking forward to all of that!=) and of cos the bangkok trip after that. am a lil scared cos i haven't come up with an itinerary yet.=X shall do that soon though. and prob do more research on bangkok. but it'll be a fun trip anyhow. haven't tried going overseas with my friends on our own. hmm maybe that's not true, since my parents are also going.=X hai..

past friendships occupied my mind throughout the whole day, again. kept thinking about how some things could have been a lot better if it wasn't for my stubborn and immature self. but i suppose these lessons could help me shape my present and future friendships. used to believe so much in the phrase "friends forever". but i guess after so many experiences, i would choose to believe that it's not very possible.

talked to zhixian on the phone for quite a long time. felt like i was reliving my pri sch days, somehow. and had a nice good chat.=) thanks for listening girl! all my long-winded stories.=X

for now, waiting for my bro to get home and looking forward to the week ahead.=)
