Wish i could sit by a bonfire and roast apples!

Happy Halloween!!!

.

I wonder why people always associate Halloween with scary stuffs, like ghosts and witches. (But how is trick-or-treating in costumes scary?!) I've never experienced a Halloween celebration before. Maybe because it's not prevalent in Malaysia and Singapore. (But i've seen people dressed up for Halloween in Singapore before.)

.

However, this year's Halloween is definitely "scarier" than previous years. October 31st translates to 8 more days! Ok. I am finally feeling the stress! Will i be ready?

High expectations

I finally found out the name of the breathtaking resort that i always see when i am on the evening/night flight to and fro Malaysia and Singapore.

Pretty right?! It's Golden Palmtree resorts. Off the coast of Melaka. Somewhere along Sepang.

.

I have a habit of looking out the window, especially in flights. I find it calming to enjoy the view of the clouds. I like it all the more when it is evening, when the sun is setting. The sky and the clouds will be an amalgamation of colours, ranging from orange to pink to red and purple. I also like it that the clouds appear cottony and fluffy! I've managed to capture quite a few nice pictures on camera!

Lol. Anyway, i just asked my mom her budget for our trip! =) (I am taking a break from mugging to search for holiday destinations!)

.

Ok. It's 8 plus now and i am feeling depressed=( It's still not good enough!!!! But well, i'm not trying anymore.

14?! Crap!!!

I get this question a lot:

"Did you dye you hair?"

For the nth time: NO!

Similar experiences, everlasting bond

88 weeks after orientation, I've officially graduated from Hwa Chong. To be honest, it didn't feel all that awesome. Maybe because the BIG A is always at the back of my mind. It's like: We've graduated. Yea, big deal. There's still the A Levels that we have yet to conquer. Still, graduation is significant in a way that the ceremony gave recognition to every single student of class 2010. Every single student got the chance to go on stage and receive the graduation bear.

The symbolism behind that little gesture from the school completed our two-year journey in Hwa Chong. I really am proud of this bear and i treasure this little furry thing a lot!!


Though i'm always complaining about Hwa Chong, i guess in the end, i will miss the people here. Not so much the place but the people. It was tough, but it was fun! And i'm glad that i had you guys along side me on this journey.


I guess many of us will find this song apt for a time like this.





Oh ya, one interesting fact: After two years in Hwa Chong, i still don't know how to sing the chinese school song. And i know the english one because i forced myself to memorize it at the beginning of last year.


And most importantly, thanks mom and dad, for taking the time to come down here for my graduation. Not everyone's parents went, and to have you guys travel all the way down here meant a lot to me. Thanks=) I love you guys!

The singapore education

I hate the Singapore education system! I hate what it does to people!

Over the four years, i've seen drastic changes in scholars studying here. The stress to perform from the ministry, the knowledge that to have your scholarship terminated would mean a huge burden on your parents, the disappointment you get each time you don't live up to your own expectations, all these changes a person. I've seen confident people reduced to one who constantly doubts oneself, and even people who just literally gave up. What i want to say is, don't give up! Who you are as a person, it's so much more than what others might perceive you to be. Yes, grades might be important but they don't define you. And just think of this as a little stumble to prevent a great fall.

Cheer up, it really pains me to hear you cry. You'll pull through this, just like i did! I believe in you.

If only i knew...

Allow me to rant for a while because i feel utterly cheated!!

Walked from the boarding school to cluny court to buy "awfully chocolate" (lol. google it if you don't know what it is!) for my parents. (I've been told that it's heavenly but i have yet to try it.) I walked for the distance of 6 bus stops!! (My ezlink card was running low on credit) But guess what?! "awfully chocolate" wasn't sold in slices but whole cakes! Crap. I feel so cheated, as if i walked so far for nothing! =( Ok, maybe it's not for nothing. It is good exercise after all! =)

Can't wait to see my parents! But too bad i cannot surprise them with cake. I was looking forward to seeing them, especially dad enjoying the molten chocolate cake. I can already imagine his expression and what he would say. Lol. Oh well, next time then! I will find a way.

Got to go! Got to go get ready for graduation and go meet my parents=)

Fever fever please go away.

Out of nostalgia, i went to my old blog and to my horror, found out that they were about to delete it. Tried downloading my whole blog but to no avail. The download was fine, i just couldn't open the file on my computer. I am so not ready to delete two years worth of memories, happy and sad alike!!! So i did the next thing i could do, i transferred my blog elsewhere. Thank goodness that was an option.

And seriously, i hate the weather! Itchy throat, runny nose and a slight temperature. What is this?! SPAM WATER!!!!! SPAM VITAMIN C!!!!!

Graduation tomorrow! If i'm looking forward to it, it's because i get to see my parents! Besides that, it just means that it's one day closer to As. And even closer to SAT subject tests. I should be doing something about that. Actually, come to think of it, i am a bit excited for graduation, because i'll be getting my very own Hwa Chong bear! =)

Mention "Rooney" and i can only sigh.

In us you believe

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together,

There is something you must always remember:

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, i'll always be with you.

A parting quote from Ms Huo for our last GP lesson before the menacing A levels. (To see the whole quote in it's real context in Winnie the Pooh, just highlight it.) I was comforted by the trust and confidence she has in us and at that moment (while reading this quote), i felt as if there was hope for GP. Thanks Ms Huo!

Now, if only i could not neglect GP in favour of Bio and Chem.

至少还有你

I liked this song a lot four years ago. But after my mp3 died, i kinda forgot about it. Rediscovered it a while ago but couldn't remember it's name, until i heard it here. I realise that i still like it a lot=) And this version is not bad. These two little boys do have talent!

To all the people who matter:

我很庆幸，至少还有你。

One expression says it all

Manchester United

=(

Nature at its best!

Went swimming under the moonlight just now. To my dismay, i couldn't even complete one lap without feeling tired. It got better after a few tries though. The moon was pretty and to stare at it while swimming backstroke was super relaxing. I realised that i prefer to swim with my eyes close, cause i feel nervous with my eyes open. But i cannot swim in a straight line! Everytime i open my eyes again i would have strayed from the path. (I bet the lifeguard must have found me amusing.)

I have a feeling that my arms are going to ache tomorrow. Even so, it was a good thing that i went swimming today=)

Anyway, today was a very nice day. Was walking back to the boarding school from starbucks and i saw something which made me very happy! I saw the moon on my left and the sun on my right! How wonderful is that?!

The beauty of nature=)

And it's down to 25

It's Friday=(

Which translates to: The weekend's here.

Which then translates to: It's 1 week closer to A levels!!!

I can feel myself hyperventilating right now!

On a different subject altogether, i finally sat down and wrote out my personal essay. Showed it to only two people so far. My soul feels naked when i see them read through my personal essay. There's a certain weird feeling, as if it's judgement day.

My life right now:
1. A Levels
2. SAT subject test (which i am totally ignoring. crap.)
3. Uni applications

Oh, i think i might have found a job after As=) It's not like i really want to work but i figured that having something to do would be nice! And i have lots of plans for after As! Can't wait to see if i can achieve them!

That little conundrum called love.

爱情不是两个人眼睛对视，而是两个人的眼光看着同一个方向。

We all need a little help now and then

What do you do when you want to help someone but you don't know how to?

Utterly flummoxed

I think that there's something terribly wrong with me.

I left for school without my school bag today.
In other words, i forgot to bring my school bag to school.

No, i am not joking.

Was en route to school before i felt like something was wrong and to my horror discovered that i left my school bag on my chair in my room. You have no idea how stupid i felt there and then. Had to walk all the way back to the boarding school to take my school bag.

Something's terribly wrong with me.

I'm still flabbergasted and at a loss for words for my stupidity (for lack of a better word).

Blue soul

I hate it when hopes are raised only to be dashed forcefully, sending you spiralling down into the abyss.

My feelings are very volatile today.

Past tense

Going. Going. Going......








Gone.
