Saturday, December 31
one day remains.
hey,
I just thought of the title randomly off the top of my head, and I realised its rather apt - given today is the last day of the year. okay, so 'slightly-less-than-one day remains' would've been more suitable, but more or less la huh.
so any thoughts on this year, you may ask.
(and "no", I may answer, but I won't, since I do have some thoughts.)
well, it may have passed by in a flash, but it was eventful nonetheless. from getting used to being in the same school as someone, to Judo Nationals, to taking S papers, to Baybeats, to watching London getting bombed, to watching Bush getting bombed, to get an F for my NE, to doing pullups, to making new friends, to losing some, to falling in love with Willy Wonka, to tons of heartache, to awkward situations, to Vicky's spliting pants, to broken door handles and glass panes, to BAY camp, to A levels, to leaving much behind.
oh boy,
I'll try not to get sentimental.
the year has been fun, painful, lonely, wild, humbling, new, fulfilling, and irreplaceable.
I've learnt about friendships, how they hurt and how to treasure them. I've learnt about achieving goals, when to train hard and why. I've learnt about Radioactivity, and still know nothing about it. I've learnt about life, and how it isn't as sweet as I believed. I've learnt about love, and how easily I lose it. I've learnt about CJ, how it isn't as bad as it seems and yet it is. I've learnt about God, and am grateful each day. I've learnt about myself, and still am.
I guess this is where I step in and declare to do better next year. well, I don't. but I do have some resolutions anyway, and hopefully (as always) they will be kept.
1] put in my best effort in applying for scholarships/courses.
2] hang out w bruddy more.
3] take either tennis/singing lessons.
4] keep in touch w CJ friends.
5] get abs.
6] be nicer to my sister.
7] stop stepping on Huishan's feet.
there :)
rather nice and tidy list.
perfectly do-able!
sounds good sounds good.
as you may have noticed,
there is nothing whatsoever about guys there. I'm taking a neutral stand. in other words, at the moment, I really don't care.
woot.
for the coming year,
I just pray for the seemingly impossible - world peace.
hah!
for once, beauty queens may have hit the nail on the head. unfortunately, no matter how many times it's been hit, this particular nail doesn't seem to be budging.
but so much
for criticisms and analogies.
Happy New Year's Eve,
and see you again -
in
2006.
* pops a firecracker.
this is a serious joke.
because somehow the HTML of my blog layout is screwed, (very incorrect HTML language here, I suppose, but I have no idea), I can't paste all the quizzes and stuff that occasionally we like to do so that our computers can tell us what our personalities/futures/favourite colours are like, this is a sad cut-and-paste job.
same quiz stolen from sf,
this is my little snapshot.
how quaint.
trait snapshot:
messy, tough, disorganized, fearless, not rule conscious, likes the unknown, rarely worries, rash, attracted to the counter culture, rarely irritated, positive, resilient, abstract, not a perfectionist, risk taker, strange, weird, self reliant, leisurely, dangerous, anti-authority, trusting, optimistic, positive, thrill seeker, likes bizarre things, sarcastic.
hahahahaha,
I have to admit,
its pretty good.
tis the season to be jolly.
here's something funny
I overheard during a Christmas meal.
A: wow, how come this turkey so small?
B: yah, 6kg leh!
A: must be a really dense bird.
ROFL.
hope you got it,
it got me tearing for 5min.
falalalalalalalala.
my heart can touch my toes.
I'M back.
Disney-on-Ice is back.
Stefanie Sun is back.
(click for details.)
I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want!
yesterday was
Boxing Day Bonanza,
anyone know what that is?
we were up til 12am
watching ManU thrash West Brom.
I'm henceforth a newly-converted soccer fan! it is pretty fun to watch yknow. although Real Madrid used to be my favourite team for no particular reason, and they got ultra-thrashed by some Olympic-whatshisname team, I still got da football spirit in me, man.
GO ARESENAL!
(another random choice.)
the best part of China was the uber cheap DVDs and CDs - cause we bought like 8 shows and 4 cds, and only spent like S$35. WOOOOOT. ultimate. also, the food, albeit superduperveryvery oily, was really good most of the time. and yes, I now have a substantial collection of photos which I could probably submit to www.engrish.com :D will let you enjoy them soon.
the worst part of China was that it was freaking cold, and we were honestly freezing our asses off and reminding ourselves to be grateful for the Equator, (and the fact that we are so near it). humans, being humans, are hard to please though. two minutes after stepping out into the humid Malaysian air and we were complaining about the heat already. sigh! what to do. people like that one.
so,
I hope you guys got me a Christmas present, cause, well, I want one. hahahah.
now, I need to get a haircut, find out which Uni course I want, see if I can get the job, continue packing my wardrobe, figure out my very-packed schedule for these few days, watch Narnia, and play tennis.
right,
okay then.
Follow the star.
heyheyhey
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
its been terrible being away, we missed carolling and Christmas-wishing and hugs and presents and all. :(
but thanks to all who did send a msg or so on, it meant alot! this Christmas there's much to say but I shall save for some other time, prolly when I get back. meanwhile,
Happy birthday, Jesus.
and I miss you guys all so much.
be back real soon, equipped with some pro Chinese, no less.
chow!
China-fied.
aye, ni hao.
miss me?
I'm freezing my ass off here but other than that, the food is good and the goods are cheap. I hope all of you are at Gotham now! haha, okay.
Merry Christmas in case I don't get a chance to login again. and when I get back, remind me constantly that I love the sun and the warmt it brings.
good night,
world.
off to meet Mr. Mao.
well,
I'll be off to China tmr.
will be back on the 28th,
yup that means no Christmas in Singapore. don't worry, I accept belated presents. haha! but honestly, will miss everyone! this will prolly be my first Christmas away from home? as far as I can remember, yes.
but see you all soon.
not sure if I will have any form of Internet access over there, but any tags or email is greatly encouraged and appreciated.
to those I haven't seen in awhile,
we'll catch up when I get back yeas?
in the meantime,
I have some catching up of my own to do - the ever-dreaded and one-year absented Chinese! they say the past comes back to haunt you, it does. hahaha, drama mama. okies then, take care and I'll see you soon,
Merry Christmas in advance in case I don't get to blog anymore.
zai jian!
shen dan jie kuai le!
(yali, my hanyupinyin rocks right :D)
chow.
some things in this world you just can't change.
some things you can't see until it gets too late.
school's over,
A's is over,
chalet's over,
and there are so many things I'm gonna miss.
/ the laughing at zao-sia's during Econs lesson
/ the smiling/buzzing/drawing/irritating Joshua
/ watching Marcus bully Shufang by stealing her shoe in the LT, stealing her pencilbox without her realising, or tickling her until she cries
/ hearing Mr Ho say "Alriggggght, morning class.", or "BOZO!", or "JOZUA! Rub the board!"
/ the endless honey-coated sucking up by Mr Jerome Yeo (Yul Liang)
/ the chilling and soccer commentaries at the grandstand
/ mango lime iceblended!
/ scanning the canteen in hopes of seeing _____ :D
/ jumping and jumping in class trying to touch the fan
/ Vicky's chirping/saliva squirting/trumpet blowing
/ the daily snooze sessions in LT2
/ timing how long people take in the toilet when we're bored
/ craving for Louis' yummy fried noodles
/ YTF!
/ watching Derek get wassup'd, again and again.
/ "HOW MANY MORE??"
/ doing a very enthusiastic mass dance
/ Tini spinning me around in the canteen to decide what to eat
/ seeing how many parts of the body Shufang can injure
/ seeing how many things Shufang can forget in one day
/ morning assemblies and the ever-redundant "Okay, you can go back to your classes now." by Mr TJS.
/ whining as a class when we don't wanna hand in work - only works for Econs, btw.
/ feasting on meatballs and chicken wings at Ikea
/ flipping coffee spoons into the coffee cup
/ spoiling just about everything in the classroom - OHP screen, door handle, metal cupboard, breaking the glass panes (guilty is me).
/ watching t20 guys bully Derek by throwing his shoes/bag/anything into the girls toilet
/ volleyball and laughing fits combined
/ frisbee frenzies at the PAC
/ PUB-bing at the Pull Up Bar :D
/ taking pictures of Koon in the most ridiculous poses ever.
/ eating our healthy wholemeal sandwiches!
/ every single person from 2t19, I will miss you guys crazily.
and there's something else I'm missing, but my pride won't let me say it. these 2 years would have been nothing if not for all the friends I've met, so thank you all. not much of a tribute, but it will suffice, eh? :) take care friends, and to those I've yet to know, this ain't the end!
til then,
gumdrops and lollipops!
(spur of the moment phrase.)
junkyard of buried treasure.
here's a list
of things I could do today:
1) finish packing my closet
2) get down to finding some scholarship info
3) watch King Kong
4) go to Sentosa to find shan
5) stay at home and rot
6) more shopping?
7) find someone who will do any of these with me.
lalalala.
packed schedule, eh?
they tell me we all die.
why does my Ribena taste like rose syrup?
eeyuuck. I hope its merely my current state of sickness affecting my tastebuds and not the Ribena itself. Ribena is an important part of my life, okay.
sneeze,
tequila shot me in the head.
here's some stuff I've learnt in the past few days, for your information and entertainment.
1) if you suck at car racing games, play Takedown instead, you might just find your PS2 niche.
2) never let Shawn grow too attached to you because if he wants you to go for breakfast with him and you refuse, he will bite your ass or squeeze your _____. (censored)
3) the best way to keep Shufang safe is to keep her away from herself. (ie. you can't keep Shufang safe.)
4) there is something called a Bra&Panties match in wrestling.
5) according to Smackdown on PS2, The Rock likes to clap after doing his whatever move - 5 times.
6) Derek can actually be seen at night.
7) alot of people whom you don't expect to, actually smoke.
8) 7up tastes better without vodka in it.
9) don't try and mosh in heels, it could cause severe damage to persons around you.
10) making out with someone at a club is just damn disgusting, I swear I will never do that.
11) I can get high and not fall asleep.
stupid post.
but the party was fun la, I guess.
off to bed, cause I'm infinitely tired.
and have zero energy.
you get the drift.
in this bittersweet.
ok I'm liek really a loser!
firstly, I tried to download some maple story hack, and now I can't even login without getting disconnected after 5seconds. and okay, I know most of you will say that I am already a loser in the first place for playing maple. but OKAY.
that's not it.
now, for some weird reason, I can't even connect to my MSN! I hope this is not some virus on my computer, cause, well that would suck. so, being maple-less, MSN-less, and not very Friendster-inclined, I have nothing to do but blog and play Freecell. for now I have chosen the former, as you can tell.
anyway.
I was just reading someone's blog.
and I just have this to say - I suppose you will know who you are, I'm not really pissed or anything, I just don't feel like telling it to you directly.
I've said this before and I'll say it again - I have no idea what you're up to now, or who you're with, but I don't want to hear anything about not being able to forget me ever again. everytime you say that and about a month later you're with someone else, so. like I said, I'm not pissed, I just don't want it to happen again. so all the best, and let's get on with life! and you'll get your present soon, if you still want it.
ahhhhhhhhh,
load off my chest, err sorta.
really in a languid sort of mood, so I guess that warrants a wishy-washy, no-real-objective kind of post. well that's what you're gonna get anyway!
before I forget, take care Milan! you'll be missed.
okay I know that sounded like some tombstone engraving, but no he ain't dead, he's going back to Nepal. yep!
anyway I've changed my mind.
I'm in an honest mood, so, this is what I've been thinking about. I won't be naming names and all, but I promise, nothing enigmatic. so here goes.
someone at some party some days ago asked me if I liked someone else. I said no, and I think I told the truth. what I've been thinking about though, is why I couldn't bring myself to look when that someone was dancing with someone else. I doubt any of you understood that, but its as far as I can go. hahaha, I tried.
on to current news,
went for training today and almost died, haha!
seriously my stamina has gone down the drain, but what else did I expect. I can so tell I'm gonna wake up with an aching body tomorrow, I just know it!
me and judo just have a very bittersweet relationship, yknow? when I'm not training I miss it, but on that dojo panting like a dog, I wonder why the hell I came back. hahaa, but aren't we all like that.
okay, here's a nice line from a relatively nice song. she laughs at my dreams, but I dream about her laughter. so much emotion packed in one line, its just brilliant.
and here ends my wishy-washy post.
MSN is still not connectable, oh well oh well.
here i go,
scream my lungs out to get to you.
hello folks.
its been awhile,
but here finally are the prom pics!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cherylisme/
hopefully it works.
today I have the exciting task of migrating all my clothes into the new closet and perhaps if I can shake off the cloud of laziness that's settling really fast, I will proceed on to burn all the worksheets in my study. all in a day's work.
speaking of work,
I wonder what kind of job I should set out to find. but being the procrastinator that I am, (and considering that my exams really only ended a week ago), I shall not and have not started looking for any form of work whatsoever. eh, anyone got any parties they want me to design tickets for? :D
to top things off,
we are going for training today!
heh. but on to clothes-shifting for now.
laterrrrrrr.
wasn't the vodka I drowned in.
I don't know why
there are words that I can't say,
but when you touched her
I just had to look away.
jammed in a nutshell.
lets see,
now where do I start?
after exams was a whirlwind.
went last minute prom shopping with my favourite people :) got the last min stuff (ie. shoes, clutch, shawl, necklace, earrings.) thanks for being so patient and enthusiastic haha! we saw a pair of earrings that cost like a freaking $190 bucks, which would be about 3/2times the price of my dress, which is totally nuts. but okay, the next time we go shopping it will not be so rushed, so stressful, and so expensive! hahaa.
prom!
was, well, okay I guess.
managed to tone down the sunburn ALOT, thanks to shufang :D and alot of foundation. my camera ran outta battery, but thanks again to shufang, who lent me her camera - muacks! hmm, so, Ronin rocked! wish they could've played more songs. everyone looked beeyootifool. alvin almost got prom king too, and I almost forgot to mention, I should've called it julian night instead of prom night. cause not only did he win the title of prom king, he actually won first prize in the grand draw, the lucky bastard. not much else I can say, cause not much else happened. except Chinablack, which was interesting but relatively uneventful. haha. so concludes my JC life. pictures up soon, if I can figure how, seeing as Kodak has kicked me out for not purchasing any items.
BAY camp,
was awesome fun :D
very messy, very dirty, very tiring, but great all the same. met many new people who were really wonderful. all I can say is, God is good all the time. thanks to everyone who worked so hard for it, I know I was a slacker heheh. :D me and christabel are gonna become stars next saturday. stay tunes for the Boxing Bruddies!
and that's about it.
right now I have to go and search for scholarship application stuff, find a job, maybe take some tennis lessons, and HAVE FUN! hello, exams are over. :) big grin.
