If I ever become a singer, I want to be like

Mika.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or rather, if there ever should be a twist in life's events and the odd, terribly unlikely chance should suddenly be bestowed upon this wretched lifeform, then damn right I want to be like Mika. In fact I sometimes even want to be him. But right now (and for eternity) it's just a far-fetched, extremely incredible fantasy. 8) Technically, I also rather it stay a fantasy. :P

I love 8 Days because they always succeed in putting the thoughts that I always find hardest to put down in words, in words. (that lame and awkward sentence being exact proof of my disability)

"Each Mika album is like a tub of jelly beans. It's bursting with colours, flavours and there's hardly a dud moment. (I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY) This exuberant sophomore release tampers with a more severe electronica twang (I NOTICED THIS TOO) on several tracks like 'Rain'. But it's the frenetic piano bubblegum pop on 'We are Golden' and 'Good Gone Girl' where Mika's Midas touch truly astounds."

I love that underlined phrase. I love it to bits. It practically sums up my favourite kind of music which I've never been able to put in words. And to think I only found out what my favourite kind of music was after listening to Mika's previous album WHOOTZ. Crazy fan-moment over. Humanity returns.

Random update on life: It could be worse, I'm not complaining :) Smiles and goodwill all around! But let the fire of wrath doth smite thee shopping centres who have already put up christmas decorations... This Alevel student does not wish to be reminded of christmas when her exams aren't even here yet. >:(

And just for fun,

Information overload, situation lost control says:

my brain is not meant for heavy studying

HAHA

Ahaha. Sporadic update time!

Wednesday was the last day of having lessons in school and as a result no one was really paying attention during the actual lessons HAHA. Whoops sorry mr chua mrs singh and ms mai :( Anyways to summarise we went crazy and sarah chui and I brought cameras so in effect we went crazy taking photos of everything. Ms zhu didn't come to school so we had 4 extra free periods which we used really productively in our base classroom (F4.2, my favourite place) locking people out! :) Then sarah found a way to get in by climbing through the window HAHA. During lessons a whole stream of class photos were being passed round to be signed and got me a teeny bit emotional heh.

Then yesterday was baccalaureate service. Sigh. I cried. Sigh. I think I've cried more in my two years in JC than I have in my 10 years in MG. I went crazy screeching out the songs at the end with my choir friends haha. Anyways, after the service ser akalya and I passed diana her DOMO BAG :D as an early birthday present!! The reason for buying a domo was simple - both of them have huge mouths. And well a bag cause it was cute. So when we saw it in the shop on tuesday when we were scouting for a present it was like a YES! SCORE moment hahaha. Then we went to join our class and a period of EXTREME CAMWHORING ensued. IT WAS AMAZING. It was total camera frenzy!! We were all taking individual, group and class shots at groundbreaking speed and every single second there would be people posing and camera flashes all around hahaha. And this was only at the bleachers. We moved off to the smiley, but on the way there got distracted by more camwhoring so much so that it was ages before we finally reached the smiley HAHA. After that, I was so tired.

Finally when we had enough of taking photos we trooped off to vivo to eat lunch and watch (500) days of summer! There was way lot of time before the movie so we spent that on the roof top of vivo at the bleachers?atrium?steps?-like place (I have no idea what it's called) just chilling out. Then some of my classmates went to the open area to play pepsi cola HAHA. Free show for everyone around! In fact when my class swarmed the area I could imagine the people there thinking, "Oh no! Crazy students coming!" but heck care them lah. But it was good cause there weren't many people there so we could make as much noise as we wanted :) For the first time this year, life actually felt like it was slowing down amidst all the flurry of studying and work, and the time we spent up there on vivo's rooftop was really nice, relaxing and tranquil :) I really wished we could just stay there the whole day, as if we had nothing to worry about...but then the time came for us to watch the movie so we had to go HAHA. Well the movie was nice, though I was very flabbergasted at summer cause I cannot understand her way of thinking at all! And zooey deschanel really looks like katy perry, I cannot stand it. Everytime I saw her I was like thinking katyperrykatyperry.

In general, this whole year has been really crazy, from start to end. There's no other word to describe it. I've had so many happy times, sad times, fun times, stressful times - but really it just boils down to how awesome it has all been for me. And that's really truly madly deeply cause of the most best friends I could ever ask for. Last year, we were all just total strangers (or not really total strangers) from different schools who just happened to be put in the same class, and now these total strangers have become some of my closest friends who always make me look forward to coming to school. Every day spent with them is a joy haha, cause of all the whacked-out things we do :P And to know that they're always around me no matter what makes me feel really secure, and well I'm never any good at moving on and out of my comfort zone hehe.

So, to ser, diana, akalya, chui, sarah, steph, jasper, zhao and dom: The times I've spent with you guys, whether eating, studying, laughing, going crazy, talking rubbish or even serious things, were some of the best times of my life, and I really thank God for all of you :) And now I will stop being sentimental because it wastes a lot of time!! Hahaha.

The bestest friends I could ever ask for...plus domo

The best class I could ever ask for :)

Random shot of them playing pepsi cola haha :D

I AM TOO EMOTIONAL FOR MY OWN GOOD. I disgust myself. Hahaha :P

My theme song for today: Smile

You make me smile like the sun, fall out of bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record crazy on a sunday night
You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breathe (aiyoh can die like that leh)
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh you make me smile

You guys make me smile :)

I'm gonna miss you guys :(

Taking a break (not that I really deserve it heh :P) because it's the last day of school and baccalaureate service tomorrow! Aaaand once again I am filled with the same old feelings, though now it's even worse cause a) I didn't have 10 years to get used to AC, and b) the future is really starting to look emptily uncertain now, compared to the "future" that was after O levels. For the first time I actually have to stop and ask myself, honestly, where do I go from here? Where am I going? What, really, is going to happen? Like charlie brown (yes I have been reading peanuts a lot lately) I ask all these questions, but unlike charlie brown no voice comes to answer me. That's it. A distinct blank is drawn, and I'm stumped.

For once I really understand what it's like to have to really really really put all, unassuming, trust in the Lord, and the future that He has for me. It's hard, because naturally I would like to predetermine my own future for myself, but common sense says of course that's impossible. A lesson learnt, the hard way?

To just sit back while the Lord drives and refrain from interfering with the brakes.

I know, weird driving analogy and even weirder sentence structure. :P I apologise, my oversentimentality is taking over this post!!!

Well that's all, pictures soon :) TODAY WAS CRAZY DAY. And to think, no more will I have crazy lessons with crazy friends anymore. Sigh.

Could you believe the same old story, it never bores me, though I've heard it all before

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:33:57 GMT

Well rightttt about now there are 5 weeks to As. It feels so surreal that it's coming so soon :(

Haha so before I take an informal leave of absence from this blog, I'll do one more blow-by-blow (or at least what I can remember) update of what's been happening. Haven't been doing these sporadic update posts for quite some time, and they got replaced instead with random posts that most of the time don't make sense.................

For the fun of it, I shall go waaaaaaaaaaaay back until right after prelims. Uh so right after prelims I basically chilled and barely did anything constructive with my time. Had a class outing at raina's house where I watched mamma mia! and we played random games. Uhh then school started and during the whole week I was stuck in a state of limbo where I didn't know what to do because I was just waiting for my results to tell me what to do. :P Results came out blah blah blah, but forrrrtunately it got overshadowed by my brother's wedding! Teeheehee. Yes, my brother got married and yes I had a part in it. I was the flower girl :) Or "junior bridesmaid" cause the guy in charge of flowers deemed rach and I too old to be flower girls. Btw he also smashed my dream of throwing rose petals down the aisle boohoo. Anyways. The day that my family has been planning for since the beginning of the year finally came, and it went really smoothly. :) Everyone was happy! As for me I was a bit uncomfortable cause I was so made up. Frankly I didn't even do as much stuff for founder's day dinner gosh! I have a phobia for makeup and hairspray now. I subsequently refused to do anything for my brother's wedding dinner so I went happily au naturel: pimples, flat hair and all. HAHA. AT LEAST PEOPLE COULD RECOGNISE ME. I WAS NEVER MEANT TO LOOK NICE. Anyways during the dinner my cousins and I were having fun taking pictures with bea's polaroid camera teeheehee!

The week after that I left school early on a friday morning to go penang for the penang side's wedding dinner. Well though it was a short weekend trip it was still fun! I brought along homework :) haha and nothing beats the food. THE FOOD. The food. THE FOOOOD. It was just that good. I ate so so so much everyday for breakfastlunchdinner I felt I was going to explode, like boom. z. (overused joke I am so sorry) The other part was the shopping, which though short was extremely productive :D :D my sister and I both found gifts for our friends in like less than 2 hours? Usually I take the whole trip to find things! Nothing can beat the high you get from the satisfaction of finding something totally suitable for friends. In my case, I bought them eyemasks cause everyone knows JC kids are deprived of sleep. Haha!

Right so after that it was back to school with no more big events to distract me from the looming shadow that is Alevels. Honours' night provided a mini distraction though haha it was quite chaotic especially when they said no holes/runs allowed in stockings and my stockings are the most holey/runny ones around. I lazy to go into details anymore. This is so boring. To sum up honours night I slept during the speeches (with an uncanny ability to wake up near the end of the speech!) clapped for half of the presentations before I adjourned backstage to join the rest of the choir ensem. Weehee so fun to sing again! And whilst waiting backstage we basically stood around in the dark and I was catching up with hai, brian and calvin who were being extremely irritating... so what's new. Hahaha! Naw but I miss choir really really.

And so that's about all the big things that have been happening in my life. Now that I have penned (or typed) it down here, in the near future all I need to do is click a few buttons and I can recall everything. Truthfully, that's the main reason I keep a blog in the first place. (I know there are a few points of contention to bring up here haha)

Gone are the days when my posts mainly consisted of lengthy descriptions of my day haha, but thankfully I still did that in sec sch so I can still read them and reminisce :) Now I informally BAN myself from the computer unless absolutely necessary, it's about time I got serious about my life and started working hard.

Isn't it enough, isn't it enough, just to be sunny and dumb? :)

Lucy: You don't conform at all to my idea of what a little brother should be!
Linus: I shall immediately begin a course of self-examination to find out where my faults lie so that I may resemble more closely the image you wish me to attain!

18 years ago a certain girl entered the world, screaming and yellow and weighing about 3.6kg.

I still don't know who the heck that girl is. But if I did, I'd be sure to say hi.

Haha! Okay I'll cut the crap :P

Well today was a really awesome day - as all birthdays are :) - and I owe it to my awesome family and awesome friends! Thanks so much guys even though I still feel really bad cause I am really bad with birthdays and more often than not I forget them (though I usually remember them the week before) and so forget to wish people so I actually envisioned myself waking up today and going to school wondering why people are wishing me. Note to self: I. Must. Strive. Hard. To. Put. In. Effort. To. Remember. People's. Birthdays!!!!!

Everyday I tell myself I am really blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people, all of whom's friendship I barely deserve. God has really blessed me, and honestly none of this could be possible without Him.

Thinking about the future really scares me, I don't want to move from where I am now :(

I experienced near hyperventilation today
