year end

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO CIN AND I! =)
The og (or at least what’s left of us haha) youngest babies have finally turned legal! It’s kinda cool considering now we need not worry about being turned away at places where we’re not supposed to be and stuff. =P

The odd thing was I was really looking forward to celebrating my 18th birthday earlier in the year but when the day drew near; I was rather erm uninterested I guess. I just wanted things simple. Like a simple day out with friends and dinner with family, as always. So this year my party planners mel and lyn organized an og lunch for me at nyny! =) but ho ho ho, the guys except chester were all out sick! Haha. So it was the girls plus chester. But it was still cool; we had fun laughing and eating tons of ice cream later. =)

Met my family for dinner at some jap restaurant for dinner. Central is such a confusing place! Argh, I never want to go there again. Since my grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary fell on christams day this year, based on Chinese calendar, we brought them out for dinner too! And my grandma was so traumatized by central’s winding car park and my bro’s driving skills! Haha. On the whole, the day was cool and I had a great birthday! =)

Og gathering at my place on the 29th was awesome too! Most of us came so we could really hang out and talk. It’s a pity cin had to leave early though. =( pictures are at cindy’s blog! =)

anyway my friends came to surprise me at my house for a late birthday celebration! =) mel was such a horrible staler lah. She confined me to my basement and asked me how to play the electone. Haha hello! Mel you play grade 8 piano! Hahah. In her defense, she said she was pointing to my er hu on top of it! But when I was finally allowed to go up, I was so stunned to see them! Ok I sorta expected it, but I expected to see like sam, nic, oh and t! not bel, zhilun and germain! I almost dropped my cousin lah! But thanks, really, for everything. It was just insane having you guys there and doing this for me. Thanks a mill. =) and I want to apologize to both them and my og mates, cause I was running around that night that I didn’t have enough time to spend with you guys. So sorry! =(

so anyway, a chapter closes for 2007 and hopefully a new, bright one opens for 2008. =)
and HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY KOR! YOU FINALLY HIT 20! =)

random-ness

Aloha! =) haha. Going to the beach yesterday was so fun! I love just looking at the sea or whatever Singapore has, letting the waves wash up at me and letting the sun kiss my skin. It’s been eons since I went back and it was great. =) even though the sun actually baked me I’m like half burn now, and my red hair has turned brown =( it was a nice day. Mel has yet to send me the pictures, but I’ll upload them once I get them.

I need a job, and a new book to read. I used to have a pile of books waiting for me to touch them, and now that I’ve read all of them, I need a new one. Somehow or rather, reading makes me feel calm and just relaxed. And oddly enough, there are days when I choose to stay at home instead of heading out to the mall. I guess being broke has to play a part in it. Haha.

Yea anyway, I need a job. Haha. Even though I don’t intend to work till next year, I better find one soon. So once 2008 starts I will have cash. =) my parents have stopped giving me pocket money and my bank account is running lower then I intend it to, so yea. But my parents gave me my birthday present! =)

Ok this entry feels so weird cause it’s full of random stuff but what the heck, ta-ta! =)

PROM WAS AMAZING FUN! =)

It started off gloomy with the awful weather and terrible traffic that I was literally going insane, worrying that I’ll miss all my appointments and having no hair and make up! Haha but it all turned out great! =)

Seeing my friends once more was truly awesome. And this time there were no books, no stress, and just pure fun. Smiles were all for once stress-free, with not the slightest sign of anyone worrying about anything.

Managed to catch up with most friends and just had a great time laughing. After prom was cool too, hanging out with council peeps at indochine, fashion bar and satay club. Yes we’re bums. But don’t go to fashion bar! Haha cause they kept looking at us like we were some sort of most wanted criminals. So we drank and left. And the best part was they checked cheam’s ic when I was the underage one! Haha. =P

And went I got back to the hotel, it was nice catching up with mel while waiting for the rest to come back and then more catching up, this time with primary school friends! =)

But when I got home the next day, I was half dead. Not scrape that, dead. Haha. I was so tired that I slept from like 10 to 1, had lunch and went back to sleep till 5 odd. Yes I know, pig. But I was really tired!

Anyway, my journey in sajc is truly over, but it’s ok. Hopefully I’m en route to greater things. =)

thoughts

Exams are finally over and strangely enough, I don’t feel as liberated as I hoped to be. I still wake up after a few hours of sleep, panicking, trying to recall a particular definition or a particular process. I still feel that urge to rush home to hit my books once more. I still feel that tinge of guilt while watching television. But the good news is that this peculiar feeling is slowly diminishing, albeit slowly.

In retrospect, A’s were kinda a blur and I was just taking everything as it was. Physical geog, chem paper 3 and econs essays I think killed me, but I’m really hoping that even thought those papers were damage control, not much damage was done and that my credit control papers will pull me up. But it’s all over.

And it’s really weird not studying and the weirder part is, I feel that I’ve lost touched with a gazillion people. I guess it’s because I haven’t seem them in ages, heard from them in eons and stuff like that. and I was wondering if all those fears I had were coming true. Like they were just there to help you survive school and be gone when it’s all over. It’s kinda saddening really. But i’m hoping it’s not my worst nightmare coming true.

PS: to my uncle in some part of the world. I know I said some harsh things before, but can you blame me? You inflicted so much hurt to each and every one of us that I thought you have lost your mind, considering that you were giving something so valuable to someone much less deserving, in fact to someone who is totally undeserving of it that I simply could not understand the rationale behind your actions. But at the end of the day, you’re still my uncle and that since you have decided to start over, please treasure your new chance and don’t do anything that will inflict anymore harm to anyone. And when I mean anyone, you better know what I mean. They are still waiting for you to come back, and they still care for you. When your eldest and toughest son heard that you were flying off to another country to work, he cried. So think about what I’m saying, uncle, think.

PSS: my daddy and mommy rocks! They bought me the phone i wanted! =)
