An Amazing Race- our style!!
Yesterday was a really fun day for me! Thanks to THE GANG! I reached Crescent before 10am and met Mel while we were walking up the slope. Saw Octopus at the foyer and she gave us a big smile when she saw us. She pulled open her bag and retrieved an envelope from within. 
It’s An Amazing Race- the gang style!! Haha.. Mel and I (January babies) were supposed to solve the clue inside it to get to our next destination. I was amused by the first clue; it was in French. But before I could ask Octopus how we were supposed to decipher it, she PROFESSIONALLY whipped out a French-English dictionary from her bag. 
The clue led us to the electronic locker and using the deciphered password, we managed to retrieve our second clue. 
We had 7 clues and 7 pit stops all together.
The “fun” thing was we had to take pictures with 3 random people at every stop!! What’s worse is that 2 have to be guys!! I was petrified when I heard that but played along all in the name of fun. Oh well, we won’t even see them again anyway, so Mel and I “thickened” our faces and asked random people to take pictures with us.
We also had to put together a piece of puzzle made by Van to solve one of our clues. 
See Octopus and Tallie laughing when they think we are not looking!!
We had to solve this clue to get to our final destination. 
Luckily we thought of using the directory and did not have to climb high and low in VivoCity to search of the letters. 
Our last stop was at Siloso Beach, Sentosa. We reached there and were informed that our presents are buried under the sand. 
My first though was, “OMG!! The beach is so huge!! Does that mean I will have to dig the whole beach??!!” We were stupid enough not to notice the clues they left for us and were petrified for a moment. (I don’t know about Mel but at least I was!) We took a picture at the beach without realising that the clue is behind us!
We managed to dig out our present at last!!
Thanks so much for the shoes, guys, oops, GIRLS!! You really know what I need!! I now have new shoes for a new school year!

D-Day
It's that time again- the time that i always dread, even after two years.. Yes, it's time to leave the comforts of my home and return to Singapore.
Everyday on this day, i will laze longer in my comfy bed, snoozing my alarm over and over again.. 
When i have no other choice but to finally wake up to pack my luggage, i will do so grudgingly. Everytime without fail, i will feel moody and grumpy on this very day. 
And i will almost surely pick a fight with anyone who is "brave" enough to agitate me. 
After so many times of coming and going, one should be used to it i guess. But it is not so in my case, i still feel a longing to stay behind everytime i have to return. My heart wants to stay, but my head knows that i should go. Haha.. I guess my head always disagrees with my heart!!

Ushering in the year of the ox
Just had reunion dinner with my relatives at Imperial just now. It was pretty special. The dinner started at around 7.30pm. Besides us, there was also about 90 other tables having their reunion dinner. All the tables started tossing "yee sang" together at the emcee's cue. 
I guess it was pretty meaningful. The dinner was edible. But i miss the times where we had reunion dinner at home. All of us crowded around a small table, chatting, joking and snatching food from each other. This is the 2nd year i'm having chinese new year reunion dinner outside. I guess it's true that it saves a lot of trouble and that it is more convenient this way, therefore i should not complain! But still, i can't help missing those times.

But still, i can't help missing those times.One hour away from Chinese New Year. I wonder what is the significance of CNY to most people. To me, it is a time to be home, a time to be with my family and friends. It is a time for traditions and a time for reunion. To meet up with friends and have a game of cards. Oh well, there is the extra bonus of Ang Pows, mandarin oranges, soft drinks and biscuits. 
And who can forget the colourful fireworks, loud firecrackers and also the energetic lion dances? 
Lol.. This year, my CNY back home ends on the 3rd day. Haix.. It is too short for my liking but who am i to complain? I will make full use of it! 3 days of pure enjoyment and it is back to hard work! Work hard, play hard! It's time to play hard now! 3 days left...

waiting.helpless
没有期望就不会有失望
On a brighter note, i finished cleaning my room after one full day of hard work!! Threw many things that i no longer need away. My room finally looks neat again! I guess it will need as mcuh effort from me to keep it looking this way throughout the whole year. 4 more days before i am back to an independent life away from home. I'm having mixed feelings. Once school starts again, i can keep myself busy and think less of other things. Right now, i still haven't decide what subject combination to take. Guess i should make up my mind soon or else i'll end up making blind choices.
Oh ya, went shopping with YL and JY at Sunway yesterday. Bought a shirt. Had fun hanging out with them but was pretty tired at the end of the day.

1. SH, ZJ, CY, HC, V and M for the lovely pizza with candles.
2. Z, SE, YJ, A and HY for the huge cake with candles and also the lovely present and memories. And also J for that phone call!
3. R and A for the lovely presents.
4. YL, KJ and JY for that crazy afternoon at Greenbox! And also the nice card and present!
5. KY for that touching card you sent by post!
6. YY for that scrumptious lunch!!

Thank you everyone!! Thanks for making this birthday a memorable one!

I have mixed feelings towards CNY. I can't wait for it to be over, because i can start my JC life. I don't want it to be over, because it means i will have to leave home once again=(

Late lunch
We went for “lunch” at Seoul Garden yesterday. Had to wait for the "guas" to end school 1st. So we ate from 3pm to 5pm. I was starving!
“Lepak” around Takashimaya after that. Took many crazy pictures. But shall not post the really crazy ones here. Lol. Have to "keep face". 
I can only go back on 17th. I remember my promise to strawberry. I shall take the earliest flight out of Singapore. The 6am flight. So i shall still be able to see you off!

JC here i come
Results are out!! Joint Admission Exercise (JAE) has started!!
My experience in taking O Levels results would not be forgotten in a hurry! I believe it was totally a one and only experience.. I did not see my name on the screen, i was disappointed.. I knew i did worse then i had expected of myself.. We lined up according to class register number to collect our results slip and form A from our form teacher.. The word "nervous" was written on everyone's faces.. I held Vanessa's and Pris' hands tightly and we hoped for the best.. Time seemed to pass interminably as it took ages for the line to shorten.. At last, my turn came and i walked towards Mrs T.. I looked at her face, hoping to see a smile there.. She told me, "Congratulations Cai Yi, you did very well! 6 points!" But when she looked at the name list, it was written 7 points there.. She looked confused??!! "Eh, i remember i saw you getting 6 points.." she wondered aloud.. She looked at my result slip and at the name list again and finally concluded that she must have made a mistake and i had gotten 7 instead of 6.. I put on a smile for her and walked away.. Just as i turned my back towards her, my tears started to fall.. SH comforted me and told me that it's ok.. My parents hugged me and told me that they are proud of me.. I cried worse.. I tried not to cry, i tried to hold back the tears, but i was too disappointed.. I fell short of my own expectations by a very far margin.. After some time, i accepted reality and stopped crying.. Got into a cab to go back to hostel.. In the cab, i tore open Form A to check my results, and inside that it stated that i got 6 points.. I was confused once again.. Called Mrs T and she say she will double check and call me back.. In the end, it was 6 and not 7! I remember one year ago i blogged to say i wished i would cry tears of happiness during the release of O levels' result.. But when i cried this year, it was because of disappointment, not happiness.. I did not shed a tear after knowing that i got 6 points.. Even though i was really relieved and happy.. I guess the mood is no longer there.. It was truly an hour where i experienced many emotions..
As for my results, i am quite disappointed but at the same time thankful.. I am disappointed in Chem and Combined humanities.. Well, i aimed for the stars.. I did not achieved that aim.. A consolation would be that at least i reached the moon.. At least i can get into any JC that i want to get in to. I shall no longer think of O Levels and put it all behind me.. I knew that i had tried my best!! I shall have no regrets or any feelings of unhappiness anymore.. O Levels are the past, A Levels are the future!! I shall look ahead!! Not backwards!!

B.O.R.E.D
You can tell that i am REALLY BORED if i start doing things that i normally don't do. Things like REPAINTING THE HOUSE GATE and GARDENING. I actually did GARDENING??!! Even i myself cannot believe that as i have no interest whatsoever in plants. But there i was today in the front porch of my house, busy snipping away at dried branches and happily plucking away dried and shrivelled leaves. I guess i must be really bored. Almost everyone is back to school, starting a new life at college. They have their own new exciting life to discover. Actually i envy them. I actually wish that my new life would start sooner too now. At least i know that i won't be so bored that i have more than enough time on my hands. With school, my mind would be preoccupied with school stuffs and i won't have time to think about other stuffs. For now, February 2nd, u are most welcome to arrive sooner!

under the same blue sky
Days pass by quickly. In a blink of an eye, we have all graduated. Already, some of us have left for somewhere far.Soon, more will be leaving. One by one, many will be leaving to further their studies. It is hard not to worry. I worry that we will not be as close as before. I worry that things might change. Actually, i experienced this feeling 2 years ago when i left Kwang Hua for Crescent. But then, i knew that all my friends are still together at Kwang Hua and it would be easy for all of us to gather when i am back. However, from this year onwards, everyone would have gone their separate ways. Sometimes, i really wonder if we will have the chance to meet up, to gather and chat about old times, to remenisce about the past or keep each other up to date about the present. I'm afraid but i will not lose hope. As for friends in Crescent, next year we will go our separate ways too. I think the chances of us gathering as a class again is close to zero. As for friends in Nanyang hostel, i am sure we will make the effort to meet up! I miss those days we "camp out" in each others' rooms and watch videos in the dark! i miss having dinner together! Still, no matter what happens, we are still underneath the same blue sky! And i believe that with fate and faith, we can remain friends till the end!
1 week to reality
I will be very disappointed if i don't get results good enough to apply for the junior college of my choice. Seriously speaking, i never had any other choices in my mind besides THAT PARTICULAR JC. With my thinking, i think i am setting myself up for a real huge disappointment if i really don't get it. (Touchwood!) Guess what?! I even bought a new school bag. One that i think matches the colour of my (hopefully) new uniform. I know that by doing all this, i will be devastated if things do not work out my way. But still, a girl can hope can't she? Results will be out in a weeks time. I'm nervous!! Every time my mind wander to results, i will force myself to think of something else. This is done so naturally that i don't even realise it. In truth, i don't dare to think about results. I don't dare to predict or even make a guess at the outcome. I'm afraid of disappointment. My parents want to go down to Singapore on the day my results will be released. I'm not sure if i want or like that! I'm afraid that i will be all the more nervous. Being truthful to myself, i want them there, i'm just scared that i do not reach my own expectations.

New year new blog
Windows Live Spaces is getting abit confusing to me, so i decided to try blogging here. I shall try blogging here for a month and if i like this blog, i guess i shall switch from Live Spaces to Blogspot! Today was a pretty uneventful day, woke up early at 6.30 because i had to go for a driving pre-test today! It rained heavily and we had little chance to practice. But fortunately, in the end all of us passed! (Wink wink ><) .
I went online in the evening and coincidentally JH came online too! Seriously, i was surprised as i had not expected to see him online! It was 8 something in the morning his time. We chatted for awhile. Nothing special. Glad that he is doing fine there. Seriously i can understand how he feels. Hope he is able to cope with it and be fine! I wonder when will be the next time we can meet again. Thinking about it makes my spirits drop. Shall throw everything to the back of my head and think only of happy thoughts!
