so here's my new toy poodle and she's only 7 weeks old so she's really really small, she's less than the length of my forearm. mommy's always wanted a toy poodle so we finally managed to find one that's suitable. i'm soooooooo happy and i'm pretty sure Red's more than happy to have a companion, but he'll only get to play with her later since she's only a baby now.

scarlet or mulberry? hmm..

i cannot believe i forgot to blog about this, but last friday was probably one of the best fridays i've ever had. sakae lunch with my family before we 4 headed for our facial appointment. and we saw dad actually sprint across the road because it was pouring heavily and we were stranded on the other side of the road without an umbrella so he had to go get the car to pick us up. then we dropped nig off since he hadn't slept the whole night, before mommy, daddy and myself headed to town and he met up with us there, to get my prom dress. dinner was pretty good since mommy cooked crabs (chilli crabs and black pepper crabs) and sambal sotong (my favourrriiitttteeee!) for dinner and we had grandma and grandpa come over for dinner, together with him as well of course. so yesssssss, no more worrying about what to wear!

what i hate most of the day, was the fact that all good things come to an end and before we knew it, the day was already over.


hahaha this is so random, i know, but i just had to upload this. our PW group picture on the last day of school!
and btw, why are both the guys (coincidentally) botak when we had this photo taken? and both st gabs??

the best friend (:

CHUCK AND BLAIR GETS TOGETHERRRRRRR, at least in the last episode of season 2!

sunday, we won the bigger stitch with a dollar (because we jammed the UFO catcher machines), today jon won the alien from toy story from the same machine after trying 5-6 times (because he jammed the machine). as for the stitch with the watermelon, we won it months ago and it started our whole craze for playing the UFO catcher since.

i wanna name my daughter blair, and i want her to be as beautiful as leighton in gossip girl.

Ho Chi Minh had a tough battle to fight in the Vietnam War with the Americans. so did i in this a levels. now that Suharto and his cronies are all really a part of History (for me at least), and i can help alleviate the economy by continuing to spend and consume (i believe in the Keynesian theory!) at the expense of my parents that is, and i'm through with stupid Jaggers who caught me (and every other literature candidate, i hope) by surprise. what i should do now is count the probability of me being able to pass the A levels (which i am not even going to try), so scratch that.

all i'm supposed to do now is to imagine other worlds (of Poe, Atwood and Huxley). the thought of A's is as depressing as Sylvia Plath's poems.


okie going to be late to meet him!

i've been up watching gossip girl and i've yet to sleep. and besides, we just sent my mom to the airport for her business trip. so anyway, yesterday was rather fruitful.

jon and i went to bugis to take a walk, and we both bought new shoes from iluma, and then we decided to take a walk inside bugis street (because i've not been there in about probably 4 years?), where he got his bermudas and i got my other pair of shoes and this really cute jacket, before we headed over to marina squaarreee!

anyway, it was more fruitful for him since he already got his suit and pants for prom. lucky boy! (:

so yesterday we went out to go shopping and i had a goal in mind of buying shoes, more pumps/flats/slip-ons, whatsoever, but i only ended up buying the Fred Perry laptop case i've always wanted. no shoes ):

but it wasn't such a bad day, we both managed to find something we'd like for prom already and at least we know where to get our prom clothes if we're running out of time (prom is on 4th and 3rd is my last paper) and we haven't found anything else nicer. besides, the company was good. and we bumped into cheston, john and ted when we were looking for dinner and by the time we finished dinner it was already about time to go home. anyway, we had to split-up from there since he stays on the other side of Singapore, almost, and i went back with the 3 musketeers.

shopping again todayyyy! yessss, i love my life.

but the night only gets darker and dawn only gets more distant.

its such a cold night and darkness looks so inviting.

so ironically (and not to mention, deliberately) juxtaposed. this is possibly the only thing i find humour in now.

i never thought i'd bring in Heidi Klum into my A levels examination and to use her quote, it was totally unexpected. so i sat in the exam and racked my brains for 5 minutes before finally remembering that heidi klum is called Heidi Klum, and then i spent another 5 more minutes thinking of "the show i always watch, my second favourite to ANTM, the one about designers making clothes?". and i stupidly scribbled 'Fashion Runway' and i convinced myself that it had to be "Fashion Runway' until i told jon about it and he had to be the one to reveal to me, that it was in fact 'Project Runway' in the most matter-of-fact tone.

i must be the butt of jokes to the examiners in Britain.

3 subjects down (history's now history!), lit and econs left to go.

graduation was awfully heartwarming and tearful for 2t04. i loved the gorgeous glass shoe sam drew for me as my symbol (which was supposed to represent our characteristics, and a glass shoe was pretty and delicate, awwww!),i feel so attached to ms ng and other teachers such as mr pang and mr lim even though i don't go for consultations, neither am i particularly outspoken in class or when we have our casual chats with them. but i know i'll miss T04 and all the teachers and cj itself.

but it was a nice closure, what with my coming late (past 7.40am, as noted by the the boys), celebrating birthdays, bagging the best contributing class award for the 2nd time (which also means the both years in our JC life), our tongue-in-cheek version of 'most likely to..' individual feature on the school's newsletter (they made me a tai-tai??), taking 15 minutes to finally get everybody out of the class, then taking another 5 minutes to walk down, before spending another 15 minutes in the foyer to finalize our plan and taking another 5 minutes to decide we really should get going - in other words, dilly-dallying and procrastinating about everything we do, and having fun basking in the company of our dearest classmates, it was a closure indeed.

so anyway, we went to East Coast Park for a nice class gathering, and it was amazing because everyone went, even Xiuu came back! so we went cycling, and as usual, i cycled with jon (like always when we go to ECP with the shooters), and we all took beautiful pictures (i'm still waiting for pat's to be uploaded). cycled and talked and cam-whored till pretty late (like 7 plus), before some left and some of us decided to walk to lagoon for dinner. and it was a spread because we had so much food, aloy, heidi and myself pretty much enlightened the people from the South and West to the delicacies of the East. HAHA, East-siders (basically just heidi and myself), never felt so victorious before. (?!)

i just came online to check some stuff, and i decided to pop by this space and i saw the locked post my favzzz boy added in. its reassuring and definitely comforting. it feels good coming in to see how he cares.


so anyway, reality check for you 'A' levelers out, its 33 days away to my first paper! omgggg, Southeast Asia history first! hyperventilate and die, omggggg, studyyyyyy and it will all be worth it. 8 months after a levels, yessahhhh! and natty and myself are planning to go to Korea for a shopping trip! details are not confirmed though ): i cant wait! and besides, we've to call more people! too bad to boys still don't know when they're going to be enlisted! aloy wanted to come along, but he still can't be sure ):

note to self: STUDY HARD, COME ON!
note to you (you know who you are): we can do this togetherrrr! <3

times are hard, and i've been too busy trying to keep my head up above the water (still unsuccessful), i haven't got to blog yet. anyway, prelims just ended with literature paper 4 and everyone's already 'imagining (our own ideal) other worlds'. and reality came crashing on me when rajan announced that it was only 6 weeks away from a levels and i was cruelly reminded hat i have barely a week for each subject, and unlike the rest of my classmates who are more or less prepared, i am only probably 30% or even less. its so terrifyingly scary.

anyway, i'll just blog a brief one on my birthday. it was done exactly the way i'd have planned for it myself, it was totally simple, straight-forward and just enjoyable and relaxing. its the kind of spontaneous thing we'd be doing on any other normal day, spontaneous, simple, but made perfect with his company. the only regret was waking up late and ruining his plans for a movie before going to where he brought me to, and worse of all, making him wait for almost 3 hours ):

i reckon its a sign of studying too hard, because while studying for my lit paper yesterday, i was (suddenly) attracted and completely drawn to Edgar Allen Poe's 'Annabel Lee' and i'm beginning to kind of like his work actually. and i'm always ranting on about how i hate things because i have to study them to be tested on (like science for example), but i think i'm clearly proven wrong (or at least for the case of literature), because if i wasn't tested on it, i'd never know about the anapaestic rhythm of Annabel Lee can showcase child-like naivete and young love, and i probably would never be this fascinated.

omggggggg, its taking so long to write the write up for the year book! ):

ASEAN test tmr, i need to study!

so yesterday, cjc celebrated singapore's 48 44th (omg patriotism and history student fail TTM) birthday, themed '5 stars arising' this year. its quite sad because we were not able to fully celebrate it as a whole body, unlike last year's mass dance (because of h1n1), and we only managed to gather together for assembly and for the raising of this ballooned singapore flag. we were sent back to class after assembly to blow balloons and we played some games, and i was grouped with jon, nat, keong and later, mark. so we wont first, but that's not to point. the point was, we all had fun, as a class.

its pretty adorable, because it seemed so lame, but a day before we decided to have some kind-of potluck, and we were to bring red and white food. and with food, and good company (not forgetting, ms ng's sharing of her good news), we all had fun. and its sad because it will most probably be the last of such celebrating Singapore's gaining of national soverignty for most of us (unless we become teachers). not forgetting, that PE has officially ended for us J2s, which marks the end of PE lessons in my life. i know i'll miss these school events and celebrations. and its even sadder that, because of the flu influenza, sports day was cancelled. i never appreciated, but i know i'll miss these for sure. these, they're all evidence of my growing up, and evidence of being young and youthful.

anyway, school ended at 11am, but we had our cam-whoring session till 11.30am, whereby heidi and i had to leave for tuesday's prize ceremony's briefing by tjs. and it only ended at 12.30pm. so long, but at least chris was there to keep me company, and elijah for me to disturb. then i found the guys playing basketball, and yessahhhh. oh, i caught the hangover! (:

oh, thanks to whoever's ingenious suggestion to taking a picture with the teachers, i got caught for socks after the picture (below) was taken -.-"



( NDP celebrations @ CJC, nevermore )

so today i intended to study, but we decided to study together since the studying place was full. so i went over to our meeting place first before he came since he'd take a while because he needed to bathe and get ready, what not. saw some cj people from the science classes, and jianhuan who was with her friend as well. then he came after they all left.

i was reading my notes when someone sat at my table across me and i looked up, only to be surprised with this:


you're always surprising me with something new, be it flowers, titbits that i've been craving for, a bottle of drink, or with the things that you say and do, and how spontaneous you can be. i really really like the lily (one of my fave flowers btw), but more importantly, i love the thought behind these surprises. because to know that i'm on your mind and that you're willing to do these things for me just to make me smile, makes my day and reassures me that what we have is real and your feelings are true. thank you for everything.

(:

i hope it'll always stay this way as you said,
that i'll always drive you crazy and wild.
and i may be hard to hold, but you'll never let go.
that you'll always be helpless when i smile.
