Thank God for friends.
I've learnt a lot about friendships this year and I've got a lot more to learn (:
I look forward to making new friendships next year.. although I know some friends are going to drift away from me as things change.

Lydia mentioned again in her blog that change is something that is always constant in life. I consider it as a sad thing.. but also a blessing. It brings a lot of pain, but a lot of new and wonderful experiences and laughters as well (: God gives and He takes away..

Yr 11 is OVER! LOL.

I'll miss all my dear dear friends (:

I find myself missing them now that I don't really see them everyday.. I think I've grown much closer them. So much so that the last day of Yr 12 is soooooo scary. Just thinking about it makes me a tinge nostalgic and depressed.

This is the only factor I hate about getting closer to people. Means that when its time for a change, it'll so much more painful to say goodbye. Someone HELP.

Yu Xin, Yu Qing, Sheryl & Sandy's effort to bag me by decorating my locker with ORANGE. But although I should've been annoyed, they really touched me with their effort (: The orange stars in my locker made my days a whole lot brighter. Reminded me daily that I had friends that cared about me and that I am loved! LOL. I didn't clear the locker cuz I figured the next user of that very locker could use some orangey joy in his/her life! Hehe.

Thank God for these two lovely ladies that accompanied me for the 5 hours I had to waste in the city. LOL. Ended up watching them play pool and Daytona. Very entertaining. Especially Aira's crazy and silly antics. Had a really awesome chat with them (: Time flies by fast when you're having fun. In the end I wished I had more time to stay.. but it was time to meet Ounut at Fungus!

Random picture of Tania, taken during Psychology. Haha. Reminds me of that lobster dude from Futurama :S

THE ANNUAL PICNIC!!!

Betty, Aisha, Tess and I

Friends since yr 8. It's so strange how each of us have a different clique of friends now. Amazing how we still meet up and talk about stuff. Too bad Aisha's ditching us for Brunei :(

Me and the beach towel (a.k.a Thao)

Then there are my GG buddies!!! Charmaine, Venetia, Val and I! Next year, our growth group will probably have to be split into two :( It's sooooo soooo so SAD. It's so sad it's not funny. I HATE PARTINGS. But I guess it has to happen in order to accomodate other families that need a support group & christian fellowship. I LOVE YOU GUYS! I'll miss their craziness and blabberings. I'll miss the occasional D&M's. I'll miss Val's enthusiatic 'CATCH ME' moments. I'll miss being squashed at the bottom of the stacks-on-pile. I'll miss the WOO WOO finger games. I'll miss the extreme gullibility of the HOE sisters. I'll miss everything, I really will.

SALAMI, JELLY, B.O and ME

Yesterday was B.O's last Fungus. Another SAD thing. Sigh sigh sigh. I guess I'll still be seeing her. But it's so weird to have Fungus without Audrey Tan. Like Daniel Lee said, it's like the Tan family is incomplete. Boiling oats, I'll miss your spasms of anger, your very evil looks, your commitment and precision in the task of arrange chairs and the end of every Fungus meeting, your infectious laughter, our 'BOB' and 'SIMON' jokes about the guy-whom-I-can't remember-the-name-of-still, your warm hugs, your confusion, your big wide beautiful smiles, rantings about your ballerina, your affair with Nick's attractive & seductive hand-less wall, the times we get to pray together... I'LL MISS YOU AUDREY TAN! Surprisingly I didn't cry, maybe it just hasn't sunk in yet. But really, honestly, thanks for being in my life and playing a part in allowing me to become who I am today.

Weird picture of Audrey.. LOL..

Our commited Fungus chair arranger.

FUNGUS

If I have to leave one day,

I'll leave knowing that I've left footprints where I've walked.

End of year 11 exams!
The major one left - CHINESE written. O I can't wait.
It's like... I can't really study for it..
So now I'm trying to immerse myself in Chinese shows..
It might be just an excuse to watch these AWESOME taiwanese serials,
BUT O WELL.. it's a good excuse.

I'm soooo tired.
I feel so exhausted. I've survived yr 11 with my fair share of fun,
didn't work AS HARD as I expected to at the start of the year.
But I can say, there were times where it really wasn't easy for me.
Like studying for that stupid chinese oral day in day out.
THAT, was crazy. Thank God I don't ever have to do it again.
I'm sure yr 12 will be an absolute blast (: WOO HOO.

After watching Zhuan Jiao Yu Dao Ai and Liu Xing Hua Yuan, I've been watching all these variety shows with 大S, Zai Zai and Luo Zhi Xiang in it. It's so FUNNY. Especially 小S. She's so funny! But I've determined that my favourite Taiwanese actress is 大S!!! Haha. She's such a great actress it's not funny. Haven't determined my favourite Taiwanese actor yet tho. Luo Zhi Xiang is cute but not that great. Zai Zai... hm.. he's shuai but acting's err. Korean actors like the one in Stairway to Heaven are SO HANDSOME. I'm just blabbering off here.

I like commuting sometimes, although everyday I have to commute back and forth from the city for a total of 2 hours. It gives me time to just listen to music and think about stuff. Random, random stuff. But it's such a peaceful time. I actually cherish the times I have alone on the train. Strange.. But yea. I got quite upset when I there was a time when I had to prepare for my Chinese oral even on the train.. memorising stuff non-stop. It was a disruption of my peaceful, self-reflective moments.

I mean, I don't mind talking to friends on the train when I meet them. But I do cherish the times on the train alone. What a weird place of peace. But O WELL. It's also really interesting when there are weird people sitting around you.

Sometimes when I walk in a crowd I try to look carefully at people's faces and try to guess the story of their life. Like what their lives are like. I'm probably awfully wrong more than half the time.. but it's quite interesting I reckon. Everyone that passes me by has a different story.. different characters in that story. It's amazing how this world is able to accomodate all these BILLIONS of life stories and TRILLIONS GAZILLIONS of thoughts and ideas. All boils down to our wonderful, majestic, unfathomable Creator, I guess (:

Crazy antics shall be dearly missed (:

Yr 12 Chinese class SL of 2007


Yr 11 Chinese SL (Advance) of 2006

The Remnants

In the midst of Exams right now.

I don't feel too good about my exams so far. It's not that I haven't studied.. but probably not much as I should or could have. Maths was quite a tough nut.. Psych was pretty easy. English language analysis was a disaster. LOL. Chemistry tomorrow. For some reason, I think I'm feeling confident for Chemistry. My worse subject -.-" Maybe it's an illusioned confidence. HAHA. Maybe I'm simply in denial. It's a natural defence mechanism (:

Facebook is such an awesome site. But there was this one application which I reckon is sooo dodged. It's the application where you can actually compare people. Then you can see how people have compared you with others. They would give you a choice between two random friends you have on Facebook and you had to compare which one you would rather spend the day with.. or like.. which one you would rather go out with.. etc.

It got really ridiculous when they asked "Who do you think is more useful?".. I was like....... =.= ER. Right. I made my choice. I was like.. since the person I said was 'less useful' probably wouldn't be affected by my choice cuz they wouldn't know. BUT. Then I found out that I could check how people have compared me with others.

Out of 4 people who could've chosen ME as more useful than another person, only ONE did. LOL. It made me feel all weird inside. I realised that it was actually quite a ridiculous application. Who are we to compare people.. to the extent of their value, to the extent of how useful they are?

Like. LOL.

Back to Chemistry (:

Yesterday was the last Chinese class of the year. WOO HOO.
Now I can sleep in on Saturdays and do random stuff like studying.
I'll miss the crazy & fun times in Chinese class with Mark Yuen and Yippy. Haha..
It used to be crazier with Hazel around, but this year was still fun (:
I'll miss CAMEL and her two friends, Hannah and Joanne. My recess buddies.

This year has past by so quickly, I wish I could just grab hold of time and make it come to a standstill for a few minutes. Just enough time for me to think through this whole year without losing time while I do so. Every single second is ticking away, slowly, but there it is, ticking away.

Little by little, my body cells are withering.. it could be at a rate of 1/1000 000 of a cell per minute, but still it's somewhat deteriorating. LOL. Just a random thought.

I can't say this year was very eventful, but I can say it's a very satisfying year. Although there were many goals which I didn't manage to reach. I made many new friends which have made my time in school so much more fun! (: Didn't think that my friendship groups would change so drastically in year 11, especially since I've been hanging out with the old group for the past 2 years. But I really thank God for the friends I've gotten to know tons better.

It's weird how a person can be a total stranger one moment and the next, he/she can become one of your closest friends. I've realised that time may not be such an important factor in a great friendship after all, although time does make a friendship stronger.

Hm.. has my heart been broken this year? I guess there have been little tiny rips here and there, but I think I can safely say, nope. It hasn't been broken. Which I guess is a pretty good thing.

THIS YEAR ISN'T OVER YET!!! Why am I blogging like it is the end of the year. LOL.
There are still many more unfinished adventures (:

Exams will finish in a blink, Sonja and Qynnie will be a happy married couple, I'll be back in Singapore drinking my KOPI-BENG, eating economic beehoon & my beloved Swensons fish baked rice and getting massive eyebags from staying out too much with Tab, Lydia and Joce! LOL. Can't wait (:
