Right, ultra-long photo spam post (:

This year's been a whirlwind of ups and downs. It's actually been the most eventful (understatement, still) year of my life so far, having captured all my highest of highs and lowest of lows. I've cried my heart out, felt anger beyond description, laughed till I hyperventilated, been hurt, amazed, delighted, touched and experienced so much more. I've both grown up and regressed. Become smarter and felt stupider than ever before.

Only some photos, cos there're too many to post haha. But some people and events that've made the high points of my 2008:

SO3R:

Random class outings, I'm glad we've many many more than many other classes! And not just out of obligation, but like the let's-hang-out-cos-I'm-bored kind of way. Haha like GUITAR HERO TODAY ooh drumming is fun. This is after minds cafe (:

Class lunch at pizzahut after prelims I think?

Girls camwhoring in the toilet before chem! Chung was wondering why we all took so long aha :D

Outing to the zoo! Haha posing with ziluo the gorilla.

Cool shot right! I like it (:

Oteam:

Oteam gave me loads of opportunities to work with non-councillors. Was a really great experience! I loved this war game, the mess was awesome. Orientation was awesome.

T'inkerbell123, our fake OG on the first dry run! Haha it was a great OG :D Actually made good friends with many in this group!

DECOR my fav bunch of oteamers, with whom I spent just about every day of my nov-dec hols with. 9am to 10pm with anna the auntie scolding us and no other care in the world except paint.

MT08!

My darling OG! Haha still remember how I was supposed to co with sean but he backed out at the last minute cos he didn't want to be MT. Well, tan zengyao provides the OG with much entertainment anyway haha (:

MT house party ((:

MT:

My lovely antisocial House D. We've had rollercoaster rides, man. But all worth it. I miss the heated arguments that even scared juanhe when he sat in for one of our meetings haha.

Grad night (:

Firebrigade. Our year was kinda a failure, not anyone's fault except that it was started wayyyyy too late haha. No dynamics = tough life :\ Still, great bunch of people.

MT ((: Haha.

MT 27-28 buddy outing! My house buddy is kong though haha no one would know.

Secretariat:

One of the most exciting functions! Includes a strike by the secretaries hahaha.

Year 6'08:

The year that will never die (: CNY lohei!

Birthday celebrations for everyone (: Except rach who is probably reading this lol. Weiming says we had CTs then ):

Random year outings every hols. This is stayover at dawn's house.

And our most recent gathering on Boxing Day (: It's amazing how 90% of the year turns up for all the gatherings. Haven't had such high turnout rates before in any other kinds of gatherings aha.

And finally, 27ths:

We do bad things together, like smoking coffee rolls,

And stay out late for random dinners, just to piss parents off,

Spray whipped cream all over birthday girls, because that's fun,

Go mad whenever and wherever possible, which is all the time and everywhere. Whoo love this picture!

And do crazy things in the council canteen, cos its OURS!

We celebrate each other's birthdays by giving them diabetes (and loads of love (:)

And giving them even MORE love,

Anddd EVEN MORE LOVE!

We study extremely supremely hard, not only to do well but also so that we can attend match supports.

We have meetings that make parents hysterical.

We love the guitar!! :D

Bintan, council retreat ((:

Okay random picture of my buddy. With me forcing him to study, as usual haha.

Uhh more love? heh. Okay I was supposed to send this to the govt so that ashley could go from PES A to PES GAY hahaha.

I'M THE BOSS. Whoo.

The journey was long and tiring! But my 27ths were always alongside,

And with me till the end (:

Haha who knows how life may be in future? 2009 is in a day! New year, without the security of RJ. But let's just be thankful for the pro emo shot ben took of me, this took 15 minutes and many ant bites.

When you start to see the patterns, that's when everything will melt into each other and begin to beat the same rhythm, when black and white become grey and you can't see clearly anymore.

2:00 PM

Been a long weekend!

Boxing day was twilight with han and yen, followed by dinner with the whole year. Planning for twilight was an utter fiasco, we only confirmed it an hour before the movie so we were all rushing from wherever we were to lido. In the end we had to miss the introduction bit, haha but the rush was fun. Twilight! Is a sweet movie, though I agree that edward cullen could have looked better. Haha but that wasn't the point of me watching the movie, so it was nice lah.

Ended up being late for dinner, what with the movie ending 1/2hour late and me having to crawl through the crowd to pass a bunch of flowers to jeremy's gf. Jeremy you owe me loads!

27th dec was spent at an "exclusive soiree at the ong residences" haha with sean and ye wei cooking a multiple course meal for a few councilor friends. Mango-mayo spring rolls, Mushroom soup and bread, Aglio olio, mashed potatoes, turkey, escargots and loads and loads of GARLIC. Hahaha. Okay the escargots were fascinating, chewing on snails mm. We then watched love actually, first time for me and nick with loads of spoilers from the others -.- We ended at midnight, which meant that I got locked out of the house! Ho boy, how I test my dad's patience.

Today mum mel ben gerrard and I went to the zoo. I haven't been to the zoo since p3 (same as ben! Because of our pschool trips haha!) and I dunno how mum dragged me into this. But haha it was a fun day! Mainly alot of camwhoring, with the high point being when a bird flying past nicely and accurately dropped its load of shit right smack on gerrard's head. HAHA. Then we had a nice dinner and talk oho.

Yep. The year's ending :\ Mum keeps reminding us about our internship hahaha I KEEP FORGETTING HOW CLOSE IT IS D:

Decisions, decisions how they plague us.

Merry christmas! (:

Haha christmas itself was a really tiring day, seeing that I slept at 4 and woke early to go to church. Brought my mum along to ngiamz' church so now our mums are chums.

My day was super uneventful, just spent it hatching plans with jeremy for his gf's surprise today lol. We made a sunflower out of turkey feathers and random stuffs found in my house! And today we have an elaborate secret-agentesque plan to deliver her flowers. I'm such a great gf-surprise planner, too bad I'm not getting paid. Hahaha.

Yay meeting my yearmates later for our greatly awaited christmas dinner together (:

4:22 PM

Oh shit when I saw my SATII results haha I thought it was a virus, come and make me happy for nothing. THANK GOD I don't have to retake it :D

Had mondays with ali and ashvin crashing, then sean joined for dinner. Today randomly met ben and gerrard to watch ip man, but the great planners didn't realise tickets sold out so fast, so we ended up chatting the night away.

Yay christmas is comingggg so exciting :D The only dampening thing is uni apps. Ugh damn shit.

I feel a need to return to cornerstone, for some reason.

Maybe I just need better praise and worship sessions. And haha I actually miss that place.

Though the cost was Your Beloved for me
Still You made a way;

And the depths through all, and the thick and thin, and I can't say.

4:17 PM

Whoo I got locked out of the house today! Okay not really, asin my dad tried to but my brother thought it was damn dumb and he let me in.

Yesterday went out with mel! Ehh bought some cards, am totally absolutely broke at the moment. So if you get a card, THAT WAS MY LIFESAVINGS. If you didn't, I'm sorry )):

We caught nick and nora's infinite playlist. Okay haha I thought it was totally brainless, but well the music was nice and the gays were very cute aha. Oh and I got a ring with mel too, cos she was angry that I have one with giraffe lol. So like I have a husband and a wife. Screwed up right? I know (:

Today went to ian's house with sean ye wei hweeleong to have a movie marathon. I am beyond broke can I emphasize that? But still as usual they must go expensive places to eat ):

You know it's damn hard to get to ian's house? We had to climb a fence. And I am terrified of heights. Oh and ian's dog is hyperactive like mad. Watched V for vendetta, watched them play some retarded game cube game, played snap jack (damn funny especially when we mouth spoil), played asshole daidi (I WON THE LAST ONE after being asshole 3 times straight), then watched untraceable.

I reached home at midnight. Haha okay so I had fun, which makes up for my dad being pissed. I dunno why they suddenly sleep so early today anyway :/ Ah well.

Christmas is coming.

Chanced upon this and it is the funniest shit ever. Some dude screwing up part of his yale application accidentally, but he got in anyway! You should get to page 4 to read exactly what he wrote inside, about his clam farting CCA, I just died. Hahahaha.

11:49 AM

Today morning I had to wake up at 7am with only 3 hours of sleep (because I was busy chatting with joseph), all because jeremy wanted to go see ngiam's church. But haha can't complain, I think ngiam slept later.

His church friends are an explosion. They can chat your heads off without even knowing you. Haha. Okay that was a good thing.

Had to go back to school, with jeremy, to pass him my SAT book. The whole time we walked through RI he was having fits or something, you know, in the 'omg-I-am-in-geek-ground' kind of way -.- And after going through all that rain and drama, I walk into this council room that was. God. The horror. It was like some dust trap, full of junk and trash. The floor was so dirty, it didn't make any difference to take off your shoes or not. Anyway that wasn't the point, the point was after surviving the rain and the drama, I found out that a J1 STOLE MY SAT BOOK -.- Wah thanks.

But hey, I learnt how to play You and Me! He then went off to find his girlfriend, and I went off to find my bed. Haha.

Yay next week should be way more exciting than this week.

that's leading me,
to the place where I find peace again.

Today nette, leening (and her sister!), ye wei, weiyuan, nick and I went cycling in ECP! It had to rain just as we wanted to cycle, no surprises here. Yepp. It actually stopped for a while, but immediately once we rented the bicycles it started pouring like nobody's business.

My dad especially warned me that I was not to cycle in the rain, or go under trees. Haha I did both anywayyyy.

Was supposed to meet nette for lunch together, but we both arrived so late, no surprises again, so we just had snacks.

Weiyuan says we cycled about 20km today :\ It was DAMN TIRING btw, despite what nick and ye wei say.

And once I accidentally swerved in front of nette, causing her to get thrown off her bike into a huuuuge puddle of water. Woops. And she got a huge bleeding plasma-oozing scar on her knee too )): SORRY AGAIN DEAR I didn't mean to.

But it was fun I guess! My butt hurts like mad now,and my thighs are chock full of lactic acid, but I guess that means toner legs huh (: Hahaha.

Dinner was funny. Ye wei and I both forgot to bring a change of clothes so we asked nick to, but he only brought shirts for us -.- So we had to make do with damp shirts and soaking wet pants (and underwear, but too much info?). Bedok has nice food, should eat there more often. Haven't laughed like this for a long time, nick almost killed me with his hilarity haha. Weiyuan was laughing at me laughing.

Back to doing nothing haha.

Wow the ants at my computer are attracted to water in SWARMS, but shun fruit juice.

You learn new things every day.

3:59 PM

HELLO EVERYONE.

My movie hung, so while waiting for the bloody thing to reload again I'm here to be retarded.

It's slowly hitting me (if you call watching a sledgehammer coming down upon your head slow) that we won't be going back to school school anymore. You know, one that you don't have to choose to go to, because it's kind of required that you do. That this holiday is going to be permanent unless I get my eyes off movies and blogs and start writing my uni applications.

And that. IS TOTALLY FREAKING ME OUT. Like so bad, I just need to get into a corner and sob. Okay not so bad, but so bad. Get what I mean? It's okay.

I'll miss my friends. It's a fact that I won't be seeing many of them frequently anymore, even the few I've spent many many months cooped up together in the gross council room I so love and hate. And certainly there'll be little chance of interacting the same way again, like family. I don't know about the others, but hell some of them know more about my periods than my mum does. I miss all the laughter and the tears, all the play acting, grossness, drama, every little bit of magic that's made my As mugging so much fun. I love how we can wiggle our toes in each other's noses, pull underwear over each other's heads, burp, sit on each other's heads, spit in each other's faces, call each other horrendously insulting names all the time and actually don't get driven mad for it. But as much as I love all of them, it seems like we're all too busy getting on with our lives.

And now I'm absolutely directionless, just flailing around wildly, because when I think of the future ahead I just feel like drowning in everything, all the stupid apps, stupid scholarships, everything that just makes me feel inadequate and lousy because I am just not good enough. No, I am not and I know it. Which sucks. No one likes not being good, especially me.

You know what's my problem? I've got absolutely no drive. None at all. Given a chance I'd rather while my time away doing nothing, than to get a job and earn big bucks. Sadly I can't do that without giving my parents a heart attack, so. I'll get the apps started when the panic hits home harder.

I wish, I wish I wish. I wish for so much. There's so much to wish for.

Sorry for all my disconnected paragraphs, like all the time. It's because most of my thoughts prefer to stay in my head instead.

I bottle them all up in a corner of my brain, and let them slowly disappear.

And I'm okay! No need to ask, thanks (: Which loosely translates to, stop asking me about my entries haha I'm always fine. I don't even know why I type these loose random thoughts down.

Looking at you through the glass,
Don't know how much time has passed

8:30 AM

Been using alot more expletives recently, and I attribute it to the fact that I've stopped going to church for 4 weeks. Seriously, 4 weeks?

But okay now jeremy and I are going to look for another church together. I think we're going to see each other in hell first though, because we were laughing at pastor names instead. I mean if you were to have a surname like Hugonoit, why call your son Dick?? Dick hugonoit. Say that 10 times.

Watching p.s. I love you now (haha that I made mum miss with me, because of one stupid common test!) and I can't help tearing )):

I am going to find myself an insomniac husband as well, so that I won't have to LISTEN TO MY BRAIN YAK ON AND ON AND ON EVERY SINGLE NIGHT like it has for as long as I've known. It sucks to have the same few things stuck in your head all night, and you can't even turn it off because it's in your bloody head.

11:42 AM

HAHA this is exactly how I spent today:

Wake up!
Eat breakfast.
Fall asleep.
Wake up.
Eat lunch.
Fall asleep.
Eat dinner.

Alright! Now that I'm awake I have absolutely no idea what to do. Maybe I should go back to bed hmm.

2:36 PM

My kor just flew off to the uk for his one month backpacking trip! Ahhhh I ALSO WANT TO GO ):

SATs over. Sucked but whatever, can't be bothered.

Just wanna crawl into my bed
And throw away the life I led
But I won't let it die.

3:56 PM

Okay other than the angst, prom!

Haha. Wow soooo any people, so many photos. Couldn't recognise half the world.

High heels suck.

Photos! All on facebook haha. But some nicer ones:

Hahaha short oh junwei! My council invest dance partner. I still remember how hard we tried to make him look tall and me short, when hwee was switching partners around cos their girls were taller than the guys. With heels he totally gets owned haha!

Weiyuan! ((:

This photo is too cute.

Omg I love this it's like some celebrity shot on the red carpet right!

My other darling, lorraine (:

Haha I like sean's camera, the pictures all turn out so quaint.

At night giraffe and I were supposed to get married. We even bought our rings! But everyone daoed us )): Anyway we still exchanged our rings and stuff haha:

Our rings spell 'forever love'. Romantic right? No one thought so ):

HAHA sean was too disgusted to allow this shot. We wouldn't have kissed la, so gross -.- yucks.

Didn't go clubbing or whatever, thank god. Spent the night walking all the way to clarke quay and sitting in macs waiting for 4am to come so we could buy breakfast. Went back to the hotel room to watch the TV without sound. It was sooo funny. We were trying to interpret what the show was about. So many women in the show had moustaches, gosh. Haha so we were pretending that they were haggling over how to remove their moustaches hahaha at some points of the show our narrative totally fit the scene (like when this guy started strangling the woman and rubbing her facea: 'shave your moustache right now!'). Ashley's dialogue was so hilarious. I laughed so hard I almost puked out my mcgriddles.

Listened to all the others talk about their hongkong trip, then we all went to bed at 6.30. The night was damn cold. Thankfully ye wei gave up his nice thick blanket to me! Haha jevon was freezing so badly he tried to use the pillow protector case to cover himself :\

Mandy sleeps like a log! Her hp kept ringing and ringing and waking up the whole world in the middle of the night, but she slept through it all (except once to say sorry). I never knew someone could sleep so soundly, she was like this cocooned thing wrapped up in the blankets. We wanted to evacuate the room and let the room service throw mandy and joo together with the blankets into laundry haha.

Yep. SATs this saturday. Ugh. Life.

8:16 AM

I am officially the lousiest person ever to be born on earth. Someone needs to brand a humongous 'BEWARE: ASSHOLE' on my back so that people will learn to not make friends with me.

Or I should really run away and become a nun. Something like that.

Anyway people, moral of the story is don't make friends with me. You all can back away right now.

And prom just ended. Wow.

Monday, December 01, 2008

12:33 PM

ALRIGHT

BOW TO ME NOW

I AM THE MOST ACCOMPLISHED WOMAN ON EARTH

I FINISHED MY PROM SHOPPING. WHOO.

Thank you, thank you.
