today was a pretty darn good day! firstly and the most important, all ogls had the day off from school today wonderfully given by kelvyna chan. so yea, vasilia outing! not everyone went though... cos some ppl stayed in school for lessons hmm. anyway went to lido to catch lunch and a movie. lunch was interesting. kfc! & circle of truth session hehe I luv em :) then caught daybreakers. quite a scary/gory movie yucks groan. after movie went back to school for om auditions. nostalgic, like when jeremy, yl, max & michelle held auditions for us last yr before firandae. pretty much settled this yr's om team alr so i'm happy. then went home. printed out the piano scores for muse's united states of eurasia and am planning to attempt that whenever i need to destress. haha. also finished reading my econs NIS notes and did most of my bio tutorial -clapclap. filing my chem tuition stuff now. tmr's gonna be hardcore chem, cos i've got loads to memorise for organic chem. (thank god for tuition really) ah yay, tim lim just sent me scores for collateral damage too. awesome. oh yea! and i managed to talk to both yl AND tim ng today how awesome is that?? can't wait for friday teehee. liz's coming back from bangkok today too. really hope she bought me some goodies ^^ alright. going to waste my life away now browsing clubsnap forums for any tempting cameras on sale. damn, i did this last night too. bahaha.
night guys.
oh yea, just in case anyone doesn't know how united states of eurasia + collateral damage sounds like...
oh but of course i'll only be playing the S700 grand piano part. cos i ain't no owner of some mega cool Motif XS8 yo. hahaha. ahhh but i absolutely love the insaneeeely crazy octaves that go up/downup/down haha. uhmm that part's around 1.40min, go check it out. my fav. ^^ and i wonder when i'll ever have the guts to try the collateral damage part. (the last part) gah :(
I look forward to your single sms every night. It reassures me that you're doing fine in there and that the saying 'out of sight, out of mind' doesn't hold true for the both of us :)
If there was one person who could make everything feel right even when it's not, that person would have to be Alyssa Lim Peining.
I met aly at bishan today after intense math tuition on vectors. still hopeless at vectors but nvm slowly. had banmian at the nearby hawker cos j8 was just so insanely crowded. then went to sit down at a random bench next to some hdb blocks/road. had a really good, long, h2h. we both said everything that we wanted to say and basically updated each other abt our lives. it's been so long since i've met alyssa to catch up and i really loved today. i really miss you alyssa. i wish things could just go back to the ij days, where we talked every other day and stayed back in school till late to study. meeting aly today realised how much i really miss my clique. i don't even see them once a month anymore, and that means i see them less than 12 times a year. how depressing is that? really wish we all weren't so busy so we could meet up more often. sigh.
to my clique: i hope everyone's doing well. let's meet up soon okay? total bummer that tmr's lunch is cancelled, was really looking forward to it. i love you guys.
hi. this is for you. you're enlisting in the army today. i won't lie, i'm not exactly the most thrilled at the thought of you going in (well duh) but it's the inevitable so i just gotta accept it. and i know you; i know you'll enjoy army. i know you'll like everything they make you do in the army - you'll live for the experience. this is probably the closest you'll ever get to starring in call of duty as a lieutenant and i bet you're bursting at the thought. exciteee, no? so yes, i won't be selfish and think only of myself, begging you 'please don't go' cos that would just make me a complete wuss.
honestly i think i'll die for the first part of this battle, because not seeing you regularly wld be a foreign phenomenon for me. i really like how we always manage to squeeze out some time from our crazy ass schedules just so we can meet up and enjoy each other's company even for the shortest length of time. take this tuesday for example. even with orientation first, then tuition after, then dinner after that, and you with your dinner with your classmates, we still managed to meet up, for almost an hour. despite it being really short, it still made me real happy cos basically, seeing you just completes my day. but anyway, i think once i conquer the first part, the rest won't be as bad. it's the whole A level period again. At first i died when you had just started your As, because i had then just ended promos and had all the time in the world, of which i wanted to spend with you, but too bad la i couldn't. but after probably a week and a half of not seeing you at all, i got used to it. and then after As i thought things would be better, but you kept on going overseas, trip after trip, and what was going through my head was just 'sian diaoozzzz' hahaha. but it's okay. cos we still talked every single day despite overseas charges (lol @ our phonebills) which gave me confidence in us cos it showed that we were willing to go the extra mile (or many many miles in this case hehe) just so we could keep each other close at heart.
a really good friend once told me that guys saw the army period as a test for girls too. if a girl can tank you the whole time while you're in army, then she's really something special.
im gonna believe what that friend said and i say now that I AM GONNA TANK I AM GONNA TANK I AM GONNA TANK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha :) besides, this is only the first test that we'd have to go through cos after this there's the whole overseas studies saga that we have to get by as well. if you think abt it, we've come such a long way. in exactly 1 week from now, we're gonna be 5 months solid. 5 months is almost like 6 months and omg that's half a year! YEAR!!!! never thought I'd be using the word 'year' to describe any relationship hahaha this is by far my longest...
i'm really happy at where we are now. had so many doubts initially remember? whether it was the right time, how it would affect your As etc. we conquered all that already. yay! haha. it comforts me to know that you want us to work. it really does. and we will work, yea. after these past few months, i've come to a conclusion. i don't need you to shower me with gifts/affection/praises every single day. i just want you to love me, trust me, believe in me, and most of all, believe in us. ni ke yi zuo de dao ma? ^^
this will make our relationship much stronger. i'm looking forward to it! really. hahaha.
well, i guess what i really want to say is that i will miss you a lot when you go into the army. but it's fine, it just needs some getting used to. i'll survive, and you will too. please take care of yourself and dont get too enthu/excited until you shoot yourself in the foot or something with a rifle hahahahaha!!!! I LOVE YOU, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU SOON.
p.s hope you enjoyed your last night of freedom last night @ muse :D :D :D :D :D p.s.s you better treasure my paper ball4 lyf if not i keeeel u.
seriously
(and btw, muse yesterday night was really effing awesome. thx joanna julian yiloong tim ng & adrian for going with meeeeeeee)
I don't think you'll even know this is for you. but please: stay strong, keep your chin up, believe in yourself, have faith in God, and last but not least, I'll definitely be here for you. I love you. I am only a phonecall away.
I'm in a much much much much much better mood today. Badminton was fun today even though I suck, planned the OM promo vid with rebecca & sam + walked out of sku before PE to get bubble tea yums :) Even went to meet yiloong and yiting for a little while to have chin chin's (fried mee sua/har cheong gai) then sent yl off to ukulele class ^^ went for a run too when I came home!!! And improved my usual route timing yet again. i think i have to extend my route soon towards the jln haji salam side, hoho. hope this running routine keeps up!! must lose weight man. and realised tonight that the best de-stresser is listening to ask4s korean songs THANKS SO MUCH REBECCA LUVVV + looking at beeeyooooteeefullllll cameras on the net! Back and forth, back and forth from flickr sets to camerapedia.org, oh it's heavenly bliss seriously. my favs of the day are the kievs and the agfa flexilette. i should soooo do this more often.
but I still want the natura classica. bloody hell, why does it have to be so expensive :(
heehee this week might just be off to a real good start. hairpee meeee.
this week was a really tiring one. i still haven't ponned a single lecture/tutorial yet and i'm mighty proud of myself. there were the ups and downs of course but i'm stronger now. i survived this week. especially with the help of sam & yiloong. really love you guys.
Haven't had the time to blog for the past few days. 4th day of school today (well technically only 2nd day because on Monday I went back to IJ to promote AC and yesterday was open hse hahaha so no lessons baby!) and I'm already sick. Flu/headache/cough, you name it. Yea, left school early today right after bio prac. What turf. School is already killing me leh, really! I am so stressed... I think I'm going crazy. I hate j2 life x infinity. Doesn't help that all the teachers are already starting to put the pressure on us! Bah. I'M SO SCARED FOR BIO. I totally regret taking bio cos I don't even plan to go/aim to/for med school anymore! It's so damn hard, and I got a D for promos. I am freaking out. I don't care if I seem whiny and retarded to be complaining so much. I know some of you are now thinking 'oh whatever, I'm j2 too' BUT I DON'T CARE because I am scared out of my wits for As! You know, it's less than 200 days to prelims? Haha, I'm serious. And don't laugh at me for actually counting the number of days cos I was feeling bored :) Anyway, I wanna do well leh. (I know everyone else wants to too) I just need to study damn damn DAMN hard this year like O levels year. Eh no, actually I need to study even harder than that cos I rmb a lot of stay-back-study sessions being real slack too hehe like going out soo many times to buy snacks/smoothies/dinner etc haha & running around the track backwards & camwhoring & talking to teachers ahaha!!! (: OH 11.11PM. Wah how apt :) Bet everyone can guess what my wish was. Hoho!!!
okay this was basically just a post to get me pumped up and to motivate me. hee :D bye!
Just got home from town with Sam. Watched Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. K la it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, but regardless the ending sucked mother balls! Dinner sucked too because my miso-base soup tasted like NO-base soup, serious! Haha and Sam and I are still forever amused by shisora :) :) :) :) Oh caught up with Jeremy today too; had Hard Rock Cafe lunch and had a real long,good talk. Mmm. & I'm still searching for a new school bag because the one my sister got me colour clashes with my school shoes, haha. I officially have one day left to find a nice bag.
Ok! It's time to watch my videos wheeeeeee! (: where's sam and tim ng I need to fangirl to them like NAOZ :(
Thus begins my last week of 'freedom' before school reopens next week sigh, definitely not looking forward to school except maybe seeing my friends again! But still, enjoying the freedom of no-school is way more awesome. Bleh.
Caught up with abel yesterday. I was late... haha oops sorry. Got a milk pan first, then walked to cine to have burgers at this new joint called burger bench! Haha, I really love restaurants that use alliteration, so cute lah!!! Anyway we decided that we both wanted to catch Bodyguards and Assassins! But the movie timings at cine were too late, so we walked back to lido to check. Caught the 9.10 movie! But retarded lido cinemas show so many damned adverts that the movie didn't start till really late, freakin annoying. Anyway, THE SHOW WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's the best chinese movie I've ever watched! Haha. & super proud of myself for understanding it! Movie ended close to 12 midnight, and I missed my last train what turfffffff??? So had to cab to a busstop with 14, and took the last bus home. Groanz. Reached home so bloody late. Stupid stupid stupid lido cinema!!!
'thanks for keeping me busy at night'
HAHAHAHA

I was feeling extremely emotional yesterday night, and I don't know if I was just pms-ing or if this is really getting to me. But I felt much better after talking to jervis and valerie. Omg, I just realised I forgot to include jervis in my top 100 of 2009 so here's a separate shoutout just for you:
thank you jervis for being there for me this whole year! Even though we're not friends who go out ever so often (lol actually we only met once this year) I still find that I can tell you and trust you with anything and everything! You're the person I go to the first whenever something crops up, because 1) you just seem to get me 2) you reply messages relatively fast HAHAHA. But yeah! THANKS THANKS THANKS. Will never forget the days where we watched wimbledon every night and I confessed my hidden love for Andy Roddick to you :P Here's to another year of friendship. We'll pull through whatever shit we're in now k.
and I love you very very very much valerie lim, you are so so so so cuteeeeeeeeeee! (:
This is Leona Lewis' I See You from the Avatar ost. It's so nice!!!!
Walking through a dream I see you My light in darkness breathing hope of new life Now I live through you and you through me Enchanted I pray in my heart that this dream never ends
I see me through your eyes Living through life flying high Your life shines the way into paradise So I offer my life as a sacrifice I live through your love
You teach me how to see All that’s beautiful My senses touch your word I never pictured Now I give my hope to you I surrender I pray in my heart that this world never ends
I see me through your eyes Living through life flying high Your love shines the way into paradise So I offer my life I offer my love, for you
When my heart was never open (and my spirit never free) To the world that you have shown me But my eyes could not division All the colors of love and of life ever more Evermore
(I see me through your eyes) I see me through your eyes (Living through life flying high) Flying high
Your love shines the way into paradise So I offer my life as a sacrifice And live through your love And live through your life I see you I see you
I really want to talk to you now, but you're not here. I know it's not your fault but I just wished you were overseas less. See you soon.
