Thoughts..

Yooooozzzz ppl.

Long time no post.

ok. recently a few things has been happening and i juz wanna share some of my thoughts yea. So..i guess it'll be slightly emo, and if u wanna skip it, by all means! Juz take note of the last point yea(*). Short post, here goes.

Thanks everybody for the past year. It has been great, and i'm sure many of us are thinking this way. Thanks for doing activities together, thanks for studying, playing, eating and dancing together. More importantly, Thanks for being there. Next year would be different, but let's face reality and look forward yea.

To selvan and rachel, I'm positive, and i bet the $10 times book voucher on it, that next year would be different without the both of u. But it's my prayer that u guys continue to work hard, in whichever paths u guys are taking. The class would still always be here yea.

To siying, erm..dun feel guilty that u got tb and we had to go for injection yea.

To zihui, thanks for trusting us.

(*) To the entire class, erm..the pics with our math teachers are up on shutterfly already hor. username = therocking06a2@hotmail.com
password = thriller

Yup, so those are the few things running through my mind now, and i guess some of those points are a summary of wad many of us are thinking eh. Oh wells. By the way, pardon the..few words in some points. Can't help it, i'm a guy wif few words.

Sooo..yea..tt's all folks. =)

i've been crying for the past 15 mins.

So here I was, about to log on to Moodle to do online Chinese papers but suddenly just thought if I shld go to the class blog to see if it was dead. And to my VERY pleasant surprise, I saw instead how alive it IS. Seems like in the past 5 days I haven't been online, I have been missing out on SO, so much that's been happening.

So, as the subject says, I've been crying for the past 10-15 minutes, just reading everyone's post on this blog, on each of your individual blogs as well. All talking about rachel and selvan, etc. I was so, so, touched to see (like rach said), so much love going around. Really. I don't think I'm gonna write what everybody else has been writing cos that's also how i feel. Like how much we'll miss the 2 of them and such. How we'll still be there for each other. How we'll all push each other to the best that all of us can be.

Now, personally to Rachel;
girl i am sorry for the bottomest of my heart i haven't really been there for you this whole period (oh shucks im starting to tear again). Really SORRY. I'm not very good at comforting people especially those close to me, I just keep quiet and let other people do the talking. So i really do apologise, cos I treat you as my best friend in this class. I still rmb how we met, haha, and every other memory we've shared from that moment. Like I said in my last post, you really never ever fail to make me laugh at least 5 times in 1 day i see you. Never met anyone like you, how fortunate I am to have known and spent so many waking hours with you! I haven't actually accepted the reality yet...I'm don't want to let you go. Not ready to. In fact I don't think I ever will. Sometimes, I wish I'd pushed you harder...but I thought with your 9pts from Os you'd be able to breeze through promos. I really should have just pushed you...and now, a huge part of my life is going to be missing. I love you Rachel. I'll hug you everytime I see you next year :D Will definitely keep praying for you, do remember to always thank Him and praise Him, and look to Him for guidance and seek solace in Him. I know you'll remember all the love shared among 06a2 and all the precious memories. *hugs

p.s. met Nicole ytd at church, and she says she misses you, and to hurry come and catch up with her! :)

Ok, now to Selvan;
haha, you know what? I honestly thought you were weird. kept quiet the whole time. And when you did open our mouth, you were so...soft! Haha. But anyways soon enough I found out how humorous you are. And we "bonded" over soccer too, haha. (Frank Lampard still rocks and so does Chelsea anyway. Haha.) Anyway, I hope you've made the right decision in going private yeah (which wasn't really your decision right. but nvm) and continue to work hard. I was impressed with your change of heart towards academia after the CTs. Really I was. Well so anyway just would like to wish you a good journey towards the As, will be praying for you too. And make it for our class outings and stuff ok!!!! Hmph. AND, it would be nice if you dispelled all kinds of vulgarities from your life too, thank you very much. Ahha.

To the rest of the class;
I'll write you all your separate "tributes" and give them to you soon enough lah ok! :)

I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!

selvan, the post was awesome!! though i still dont understand why deb had to post it for u lol.
anyway, i felt i cld relate to a no. of things u said..
i was shunning awy from this class quite alot till rd term3 (shocking huh??)
but mine wasnt alot of ponning sch or disappearing during breaks.
well,i did prefer to stay in the library to mug during breaks , but there was the other side of me who stuck with the class & usual peeps during breaks & tried to stick in.
it wasnt fun. it was superficial. it was a facade. dreaded sch everyday. simply bcoz i hated the sudden chg, be it of environment & ppl..


but all's well now. and u know, im so glad the last term has been a whole lot of difference. my perspective of selvan changed alot. ure a great fellla & a funny one too. keep us updated thru this blog ok? all the best!

harrow pper.

selvan! i'm very glad you decided to share all that with us(: i'm proud of you that was brave and respectable. totally. we're a class and we're here to listen and talk. and crap and dance and sing and do everything under the sun. we're here for you, and we're here for each other no matter what! (hah if only dl cared.) i'm glad that now you've really become an integral part of the class, and a2 is seriously set in stone. haha yeah i think mich is right we should all do testimonials about the past year, cause it's really been quite a journey. we've grown and grown and grown together, everything building up beautifully into what we have now which is profound! such that now i find it very hard trying to recall what it was like before haha.

thanks everyone for alllll the support, even from the man of the hour himself, selvan from jeevansathi.com india's no.1 matrimonial site. if you've got problems or anything continue to voice it out! we are a crass (clumpler!) and we won't leave you alone as you face the verrrry hard route of handling your As privately. okay yeah i feel odd saying "we" since i'm not even taking my As next year, but ayia i'm sure you guys feel the same way! so ya thanks everyone i love love love. it's helped me through incredibly so. sigh(:

and heh i'm thinking what the heck! it'll be fine and normal la! we'll still do all sorts of things and go places as a class, we can still have an a2 band (ictalent anyone? so far we have zihui's lullaby in a minor, and a wagors indie song on piano! show you all soon haha.) that includes selvan too hokay! i'm going to try and see if they'll let me join you all as a "j2" for first intake so at least i'm doing something not wasting time in orientation. and even if they don't (cause they suck, the by the book conformist institution!) i'm joining you guys anyway! i'll go copy your timetable and crash all your lectures and stuff. i'll have a lot of free time with no chinese and pw anyway. it'll be good to get to learn j2 stuff, i want to prepare myself. we can still study together too haha i can help you all with j1 stuff if i can understand it myself first. yup need help with anything at all i'm here. cause j2 sucks man i'm pretty scared for you guys cause it's stresssss. the only huhh? thing for me will be when you guys finish your As and are free, but i'm still stuck in school. wah sai. hahaha!! but tsk i'll worry about that later. i'm learning to commit it all to God.

anyway all the love that's going around right now is wonderful fantastic. we are a real class dammit! can you feel the lurrve??? the world must know!

and alas! who wants to watch the prestige on monday after our injections to cheer our arms up and celebrate the advancements in modern medicine! plus do i have any suggestions for holiday class events? chalet? escape theme park day? (omg so lame but so fun hahaha) christmas party or partIES? haha maybe i should get my techno act together again. think out of the box and be creative! what ridiculous endeavours will be next hmm?

hey rach, i know ure gg thru a difficult period,it is so tough but yet uve got to pick it really carefully bcoz that will determine ur future. so all in all, the decision will lie in u. uve stated so many choices, and in a way uve imagined how life will be like for each and every choices..
but yet i want to give u a piece of advice, and hope u'll heed it.
Dont run away from difficulties in life,uve got to go thru it before you learn.


no,im not someone great or brave.but i just feel that the truth is everyone needs atleast a huge obstacle in life before they learn to grow. u know uve got a problem with staying focus etc.. but yet u dont know how exactly are u gonna go about solving that problem.
u know u have been having this problem since sec1, but yet u still managed to pass ur Os and other exams with aces.


so when will u ever chg? when will u ever feel less complacent?
1)by moving to a whole new environment (eg international sch) when everyones' just like u, having fun and doing things at the pace they want it to be?
2)by taking private As where u need'nt face the embarassement ,and can put the past yr of mistakes behind?
3)Or by being retained? (yes,the embarassment,pain,misery..and pay the price..)


now u look at the 3 options and u'll prolly think all of them sucks.
but look, this is wad life is about.


im not trying to be mean here by wanting u to learn ur lesson and go thru a whole lot of pain before finally learning.not everyone can go thru it, but u know we are all here and knowing there are frens out there who cares and loves u just the same,makes the problems so much easier to go thru...


u always say 'zihui have gone thru so much more', but i look back at the 2 yrs of tears,then i think its nothing anymore. not like it dosent hurt when i think abt it or how bitter life was,but really i wldnt be who i am today if not for the 2 yrs. (yes,i inculcated all the hardworkingness,independence blahblahblah there).
rach,uve got a strong character and i admire u for that just as much. uve said ' i wanna complete smt that ive alrd started' that coming out from anybody caught in this situation is alrd amazing. wadeva ur decision is, the next yr/s will b a huge obstacle just as well.. but you will go thru it and survive thru just like me.

so this is in response to Racho.
today after chye tin's talk i was told that if i screw up my block test 1 next year i'll be kicked outta school. and for a moment i thought that sucked. so i told racho bout it and said that i'd rather retain. and she looked at me and said 'do u wanna switch places with me?' i could have smacked myself for being such a selfish idiot. im sorry rach. so much for seeing my glass as half full huh. i'm given a second chance to prove myself and i'm complaining.
so rach i think you shld stay in SA. you will definately drift from the class but i don't think u'll ever feel unwanted(: you've found a class you belong in, we all have-how many people can say that. and friendships don't disappear overnight. we'll still be here. and on the plus side u won't see mr pao everyday anymore. we'd be happy to bitch bout him to you ANYTIME, trust me on that.
many people who retain actually do better the second time around. it's better in some ways to get your basics right first cause J2 sounds like a real bitch.
so take care of yourself. live and let die my friend.
sometimes life just sucks. it's super unpredictable. you either keep running from it or fight it. and no one said you have to fight it ALONE.

well well

apple, pony, dolphin, diva-viva-lim5 , angel.

sigh guys. SIGHHHHH. so i've been retained and now i don't know what to do. after three days of depression, i've finally moved on. well no. as in this is still a hugggeeee sadness and problem, but i'm not going to cry anymore. anyway i can't resist being happy and screaming hellooOoOoOOoo!!! really embarrassingly when i'm with you guys. you know I LOVE THIS CLASS SOOOOOO MUCH

you guys are sooo precious to me. and being in a school with a class and all has never been this perfect. scgs was amazing too when i think about memories here and there, but in a different way. (haha i sound like i'm talking about a boyfriend or sth. but you guys mean MORE than that to me.) i'd like do anything for this class! but they won't advance me. they are really strict la today i was talking to si ying's kenny, and his classmate who got 22 was speaking to lim chye tin right then cause he too desperately wanted to get promoted. we're allll desperate la. so i felt pretty bad when he finally came out and told kenny and his classmates that it was a flat no. i think the whole bunch of them (ray and kuo lun can't spell were there too) felt like crying. and his case considering cca and cts is better than mine! sheesh la actually i see already got agitated cause so many of us have to face this. there's so much love/camaraderie going around the school and people are willing to support each other, yet they continue to tear us apart. cause it's "for the best". shouldn't this be cherished and upholded? everyone who didn't come close to the promotional grade of 35 is getting retained. if i'm not wrong, all 50 odd 60 of us. stupid too of them, cause so far everyone i hear who's getting retained is probably going to leave the school. and you've got a whole bunch of rugby, soccer etc talents under this category.

i know it's my fault that i've gotten to this point. but it's still evilevilevil. everyone's different, and you have to understand the different reasons for which people struggle with their studies. and the school is not making good administered effort to address this retaining or no retaining. it's all PRESCRIPTIVE. just like my group SA006 mentioned in our OP.evilEVIL.

looking at our pw photo up there makes me smile, but then when i remember what i'm faced with it hurts a lot. urghhh. i'm most afraid of losing a2 and my art class and miss chan. these are what matter to me the most. hahaha no actually they are all that matter to me in sa.

i really am at a loss right now. there are battles going on in my head and my spirit is being ricocheted about my thorax and beyond. arghhhhhhhh. first is the horrible sinking killing feeling of nothing being the same anymore. i live everyday right now like a dying man(or woman). on one hand dreading and refusing to face the truth. and on the other trying to hold on to every moment left i truely have with you guys. and it technically ended today though i do have till the end of this year. then i have to try and decide what step to take next. accept my fate? take my As privately? runaway once again to another school? poly? acs international? UWC? go overseas? and clearly i'm not ready.

i don't really think logically. i'm impulsive i guess, letting my decisions rest mainly on what my heart desires for. it's frustrating it's like deciding whether to stay in choir or not once again (stupid stupid problem) but yeah much worse with muchhh more servere implications. (oh great! TATU is on itunes. how soon is now. fav angsty song!) i need input from as many people as possible to make my decision, but the more i hear, the more i'm torn apart in all directions.

staying in sa: i can't imagine this at all. too too too painful. i can't bear to think about you guys going for lecture, then eating in the caf. talking about random stuff but yet it's so important. and i can't be there. no more helloOoOoOo. even if i meet up with you guys or sth, hah i wouldn't know what's been going on in class or whatever. i might end up feeling awkward and unwanted. i can't imagine being amongst all those lost sheep j1s. trying to waaait for them to find their place. wait for the superficiality to pass. wait for them to settle in. wait for lessons to really start. what a horrid break in momentum. half a year of crap before things pick up pace again. and there you guys will go speeding on with your As. scary hahaha but for me it's i dunno hard to accept that we are doing different things. i can't be in it together with all of you. and after you leave and you are free, it'll be my turn and i don't know how long i can last. from a different point of view, one that would tell me it's okay to stay, it would be only a year before you guys leave jc. no time at all. realistically speaking (i hate to though) that's the end too that comes anyway. we wouldn't be able to be together anymore once we move on to uni. if i stay i'll get to complete my art too. TWO YEARS for COURSEWORK. that's got to help a lot. hahaha huge advantage if i can pull it off. i don't want to leave my art and miss chan's lessons in sa. lastly, very contradictory, if i do leave. really i'd hardly be able to see you guys anymore, despite whatever pain. if i stay at least you'll still be there, i can still join in when i can. just that i'll have to grit my teeth and not think about not actually being in a2 anymore. i will get more time to get my studies right. i just wonder if i can bear being left behind, having to accept change, and if i truely have the stamina to face another year of horrid jc academic and oh my gosh cca life. i don't think i was really made for jc. i just ended up here and this has become the only life i know.

taking my As privately: popular choice for guys. and this morning i seriously believed it was the way to go. i'll still be at the same level as you guys. i won't waste stupid time in j1 and lectures i don't even pay attention in. and i'll have freedom to take charge of my life. which i haven't done before but oh well gotta start now. i was thinking of getting a job to help fund tuition(minimally haha)which would be cool. but yeah this option went out the door most unfortunately. i really would have wanted this. cause i can't take art on my own.

another school: not a jc though. sth international. actually i didn't want this at all. i realise i'm no ang moh. i'm most comfortable with my kindred spirits. but yeah seriously it's really hard to find friends/a class like a2 anyway. this has been a real gift from God. beyond my wildest expectations. but like i said i'm not really jc material. in sec 4 when i was facing similar problems (haha) i actually wanted to go to an international school thinking i'd be happiest there(well that was before i found you guys and realised where i really am happy and belong right?) and maybe now that i know who i really am, rather than some raw impressionable teenager (haha mindy!) looking in all the wrong places, i'm ready to stand strong in a new environment. the curriculum and syllabus might be seriously better for me. it might hold my interest better and offer me more options. i can still do art though i have to be willing to step out of my comfort zone that is our art room and miss chan's support. yess no more cca commitments i'm unhappy with too. i can start afresh. and i'd better set it right this time. no poly. cause i don't want to narrow down my options. and i don't think i'd click with the people there. mark said he didn't (shufff!!!!!!! hahaha).

omggg SIGH. hmm how can i trust God in this situation. what can i do to include him in my decision? what is God's plan? people all tell me and i'd hate to admit it but yeah i do think this test is what God knows is best for me. i'm just wondering what i'm i supposed to learn out of this? and which path is the one that would fulfill that? i guess i do trust that whatever turns out will be for the best, but how do i get there? i think we can all see now with my withdrawal symptoms, that i'll have a hard time facing death of loved ones hahaha. okay getting random again! but yeah it's disturbing that we have to bear in mind heaven is the ultimate destination and that we must not attatch ourselves too much to anything here. yet cause we are made in the image in God, and God is a God of love, we tend to love to love as well, so naturally we end up loving things here! read the purpose driven life by rick warren(:

sorry i wrote so much. i always do huh? hahahaha. i don't know who's actually lasted so long, but if you have please tell me what you think. and haha whatever it is, i'm not leaving in spirit i'll always be here to disturb you guys. i'll spam the class blog, next year i might just run napfa with you guys while carrying ipod speakers hahahahaha, maybe still participate in valentine day's antics. i'll STUDY with you guys and as undisciplined as i am, i'll try my BEST to support you all while you face your As. A levels is a bitch man. please don't forget me and leave me out of class gatherings and outings to watch concerts and stuff! keep me informed okay!!! so i can make myself present.

by the way i was so depressed/love sick (with a2) yesterday i couldn't eat at all. so by this morning i think i lost weight! HAHAHAHA. cause shirn was like, your face looks sharper. hahahahaha weight loss HOOOOO!!! too bad i'm hungry again. booo.

TOO MUCH LOVE - rachel ginger dolphin.

help and vote sa as the coolest jc!!!i was so surprised to see that sa's actually leading! wayyy ahead of all the other jcs whose votes are nearly inexistant. only ac's trailing close behind hurhur. we are neck and neck once again. stomps actually pretty cool i think i'll spend more time checking it out. found out about this from a4's class blog http://bigk-iswatching.blogspot.com/ note the cool blog add. much like ours it draws references to their ct. hahaha. it's cool they have a blog now and they are a nice class! butttt i'm so sorry to say this publicly, WE ROCK SOOO MUCH MORE!!!!

right now i'm listening to the our time is coming cover by jamiroquai. best wake up alarm ever. anyway i'm really glad to see so many people posting! (: love!

so check it out! went to vivo city yesterday after church!!! it's huuuge and not bad pretty cool. mich went too before selvan's ultimate deepavali experience. sigh imagine if we were still at malan road! i can't stand the crowd. but i do appreciate the effort singapore's put in to try and revive our country. we've got a long way to go - their attempt at publicity and generating hype by assigning freelance actors to romp about the shopping mall doing crazy things was a little lame. but it's a start! there were some guys zooming abuot on segways and THAT was cool. i've been dreaming of riding a segway since forever. my only thought is that our own crazy class bunch could do a better job even if we weren't paid. they should have created a better environment too by playing mood music throughout the mall. oh by the way go check out the sunday's lifestyle newspaper for the IR sentosa project proposals. interesting! esp frank gehry's design. i think that looks the most attractive! they all seem to offer similar things (aquarium/ocearium which rocks! i love marine biology! water park thrill rides) so i'm just talking about the resort design. even more interesting is that gehry designed the famousss guggenheim museum in spain! amongst other impressive things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gehry if you guys remember in one of dl's lectures he showed this picture of a cool metalic wavy building. and when i asked what building it was he said he had no idea, he just found the picture. hahahaha. well it was of one of gehry's buildings whose picture he blindly used. can't remb which though. if you're interested in architecture check this site out http://www.greatbuildings.com/gbc.html gehry also designed this walt disney theatre in california. can't remb the name but anyway it houses a blackbox where REDCAT houses performances. and REDCAT is connected to calarts, the california institute for the arts. sth like that argh i'm too lazy to check all the facts but here's the site http://www.calarts.edu/ it's supported by walt disney, that's how i came to know of it. and it was my first encounter with a gehry building, before i knew who he was or bothered. if anyone's interested in studying the arts overseas consider this place! i don't know how great it is, but if disney supports it, it's good enough for me!

before vivo city however, we had lunch at harbourfront mall. and THE HORROR! my eyes they burn! i spotted this woman and her boyfriend or sth wandering about and was so affected, i just haaddd to take a photo to document the abstruse atrocity. i couldn't do it myself cause i think i would have looked pretty obvious (like the dl photo thing again hahaha) so i got my siblings to take the photos for me. they too were so appalled that they did it obligingly. we actually trailed her from the atrium, to breadtalk, then all the way out of the building. many failed attempts, but finally my sister pro man. walked right past her and took a series of multishots. and thus, i present you THIS!

do click on it to get a larger view. study it carefully! for full effect you've got to see the real thing, but this is the best i can present you! i've blurred out her face "somewhat" to protect her identity (heh as though we care. hahaha okay so mean!) but yeah if you can't see her face at all then it wouldn't be as impactful! this message was presented to you courtsey of da fashion police. all names have been changed to ensure the privacy of our mortal subjects

anyway i've uploaded the deepavali photos! here at my imagestation account. cause shutterfly was giving me problems. many thanks to selvan again!

more treats for you lovely people out there. so annoying the thing like won't let me embed the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vsdtCuXS_I

this one's pretty funny(:

and this one is a compilation of footage from state of mind, the very awesome shocking documovie(if that's what you call it) mr chua showed us during gp. though this video only shows the brilliance of the mass games. not the petrifying effects of communism.

okay i'm off! lovelovelove! hope you've enjoyed my (totally not) rubbish post as much as i enjoyed presenting it haha.

DEEPA INCREDIBA!

thanks selvan for the deepa bash. it reaallly was the ultimate deepavali experience man i tell you. we must have another one next year. hey, how about the ultimate christmas experience at jade's place, since you're the angmoh of the class!? urgh, PW is draining us all, but.. aiyaa WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER blah blah blah... (that cliched thing!) we'll all get band 2 and above despite the circumstances (DL)! hahaha. oh yaa guys! so sorry if racho and i were so noisy cos it's my first time playing on an electric guitar. the furthest for me was an acoustic la. so got quite excited. hahah! okay my beloveds, words cannot describe how much i love this crass! we should all go get a CRASS CLUMPRER(err. class crumpler?) and we better do a shirt ok, cos my "united/loving/caring/rockass" class last yr back in PL did not even make a class shirt!! so irritating. ok, mindoo's gonna go watch discovery channel already! hahahahahahahahahahaha!

hi everyone.

Hi guys. Just wanna tell all of you how much i enjoyed yesterday, you know. I really, really, really love all of you. SO much, ok. Like, until the ends of the earth, etc. Ahha.

Thanks Zihui for finally trusting us, in a way. Heh. The purpose of setting up this blog was actually to help us bond better, also I hoped that we could not only share our school lives together, but our personal lives as well, at this period of time when we're sort of in our prime, the time when we're all just enjoying jc life and enjoying each other's company.

I was thinking of writing a tribute to 06a2 on this blog at the end of the year, but I'll just say a bit now lah. Initially I'm sure all of you felt that our class was so not close at all. First month of JAE, and I looked at other classes eg. A7 and A8 etc, I saw how well they all cliqued with each other and I wished very much so that I wasn't in A2. In that first month I barely talked to people like Shirlyn, Weiling, and so on. I wondered if this was gonna be my JC class. So boring lah.

And then suddenly I don't know what happened, but all the retarded sides of us came out. Then by Term 3 we were on the road to being the best class ever already. With things like Service Learning, National Day, Carpenter's Tools and stuff, those events really bonded us together (at least that's how I felt). Learning HSM dance (thank you guys for being so sporty), just being crazy and having fun everyday in school...

By Promos we definitely were like THE best class in like the whole world lah pls. Now I look at other classes and realise how fortunate I am to be stuck with you guys. So many random things happen everyday, I think God must think our lives as a class is a dramedy please. HAHA! If only I could remember everything that happened, I could laugh my life away.

Yep so, that's more or less what I feel. I'm sure Zen also feels a bit of what I feel, cos we've put in quite a lot of effort to bond the class together and it is indeed satisfying to take a step back and see how far we've come as a class.

One more year ahead of us guys, let's all work hard and play hard, together, as 06a2 of 2006/2007. :)


Special thanks to RACHEL HO for never failing to make my day. :)

DO YOUR VERY BEST FOR OP. AND WE SHALL ALL AIM FOR A BAND 2 AND ABOVE DESPITE ALL ODDS (DL that is =x) .

WR is killing all of us!
Especially this PW group of mine comprising of the nutters Mindy, Deb Chia, Rach Ho as well as our diva, Zihui (:
We've been at Zihui's place since 6pm?
Haha yes.
We've decided to stay over to fix our WR.
It's a great big effort on everybody's part and I'm proud of you guys (:
I'm sure you others have been slogging this night (or morning) away doing WR.
But it's alright!
You get to spend invaluable time with your PW mates and get to know them better.
Better as in hysterical / unglam / new sides that you've never seen them before.

Everybody go, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS (:

Okay HIGH ALERT.
Must be the time.
Haaha.
Okay time to sleep already!

Love you guys!
Good luck with the WR stuff tmr (:

From your (VERY SLACK) lady boss,

so this is the love story that's captured the hearts of millions. argh i'm too lazy to come up with the story right now though. i'll think it up eventually. sorry i'm such a piss off guys, but i love you all soooo much a2. i'll make it up to you guys one day.

hooo?

heyheyhey a2! i'm posting for the sake of un-deadifying this blog. just to let you know i'm listening to runaway by jamiroquai right now. mmm i love music. i love SAJC BAND! whooo moulin rouge pirates and copacabana are soooo nice when they play it. i love listening to the songs live cause you can pick out all these harmonies that are wayyy harder to hear on a cd soundtrack. music comes aliveeee! sigh bandddd. homemakers sucks lor! not the people i emphasize once again, but the teachers and the rigidity of the structure in a school set up. I WANT FREEDOM. i might get my future ruined by saying this, but i don't really like our principal. i'm sure she's nice, but the way she thinks.... meh it's not the best for a jc environment. she's trying to be a granny to us or sth but she doesn't understand us. okayyy digressing!!! is that how you spell it?

choir sucks too. i wish i were in a cca i liked so much i wouldn't care how much time i spent on it. like art or sth. i made the funny mistake of sitting at the choir booth this morning to talk to my friends, then MISS NG came over. and proclaimed! (something along the lines of) "i'm glad to see you're back!" ARGHHHH!!! noooooooooo....so i tried to worm my way out by saying i didn't even think i was going to get promoted, and i needed to spend all my waking hours on art. instead she kinda put on this serious face and said she'll do sth to make sure i'll get promoted. WAHHH. piang ah. she's messing with me again! she's nice sometimes la, but i know she's really trying to tie me up. sigh. even mr tay has been asking where i've been? my conductor who said i could leave if i wanted to? as you can see my life is full of people trying to work reverse psycology on me. and i'm so nice they usually succeed. ha. ha.

now i'm listening to how soon is now by tatu. my favourite angsty song to listnen to when i'm feeling depressed. but today for open house i was curating the j2s coursework in the basement for most of my 9 hours in school. and one of their pieces had quotes as a part of it. pretty funny cool ones. in the style of jenny holtzer's truisms (she did an opening piece for the biennale. cool right!) here's an example (from the j2's piece not jenny holtzer's) "ugly people should be happy. they can't get any worse" hoooooo. so let's all be happy! some others are really true. like sth about how love doesn't die naturally, but it's cause we don't know how to replenish it's source. i soooo agree with that. it's the cause of a million failed marriages. well there was this other quote that didn't make me feel very happy, but it's true too and that's why although i feel like being sorely depressed right now i'm trying not to.

cause according to the quote, no one really cares. and why should they? no one can truely understand what anyone else goes through. so be happy. it's better for your life. when i was distressed by cca trauma this morning i told myself that i shouldn't. i need to change my mindset cause i'm only doing myself and others a disservice by being so whiney and negative. my WHOLE church is doing bible studies on the book a purpose driven life, and i realised how important it is to fill that hole in your heart. it makes living everyday so much easier. why should i complain about all these things when i have a purpose in God and i should live my life the way He wants me to? my HUGE problem is i'm so dreamy. always falling in love with this and that. music, art, johhny depp(haha kidding. though he rocks!!! and i do love him but in a healthy way!). i'm always wondering what might have been, desiring things, and being so certain that my life could be immensly better with them. and i'm probably right. but! what would my purpose be then? there's a difference between goals and purpose. and while i'm always clambering for things that i think will complete me, i miss the profound gift God has, better than everything else of this world. i won't stop loving things or longing for things in this world and who can? but to live with purpose! gives you FOCUS (what i've come the recognise i require more than mannny other virtues), motivation, and simplifies your life.

so yes. i'm feeling a lot better now and normal again. yay(: i love sajc, or rather, you guys! "curating" the j2s' art pieces was pretty fun mhmm. i'd like to believe that by hanging around them the whole day, the creativity will subconsciously spread to me. hahaha. what was very sad though, was that majority of the people who walked in had no interest whatsoever in art. they just look-seed, laughed and walked out. i'd be all chirpy and go, hi! welcome! if you have any inquiries about art as an a level subject, or would like to know more about the courseworks you are viewing feel free to approach me! and they'd just be like...oh. when i ask if anyone's interested in taking art it's either silence, or a denouncing "i can't draw". they are missing out on an incredible life journey i tell you!!!

in the afternoon the crowd was better i have to say, but in the morning most people just came cause it was part of the tour. that piece i mentioned above is realllllly nice, and most people just completely ignored it cause it's located in this alcove thing. which is odd cause wouldn't most normal people be drawn to that piece first due to curiosity? that's what me domo and ying tong felt anyway. funnily enough later in the day when the j2 himself came to see the stuff, he must have noticed this cause he wrote on the wall in front of his piece, there is an artwork here. hahaha. ah yes! we got to meet miss chan's brother!!! mr chan! he's 16 and from maris stella which shocked everyone cause we didn't know miss chan had such a younger brother. so when we found out everyone kept calling hi miss chan's brother!!!! as a matter of fact two of the j2s like made a public announcement to the visitors there that he was miss chan's brother hahaha. the cute thing is that when you try and talk to him, addressing him as miss chan's brother, his expression is like identical to miss chan's huhhhh? face, so then i'd be like, you look just like miss chan!

okok sorrryyy i'm being boring now. but then again, how can this possibly be more boring than no new posts??? ehhh? gotcha there! i think that's all i have to say for now. i was supposed to write a short story cum song here just for lame entertainment, but looks like the post ended up much longer than i expected. so here is a couplet instead!!!

thee sun thee sea
smell like bar chor mee. (can't spell....sigh!)

updates

Wow, nice work Rachel! Haha! It's really funny. and interesting. I laughed my head off when I saw it. I wonder what his rxn will be if he ever saw it...

Anyway, I've got some updates for you guys!

1) We desperately need to get our pullover soon. Zen and I will try to see what we can do, Yingjie's got the supplier's contacts I think. If anyone has any suggestions on anything, please tell us!

2) We wanna have a class bring-your-pet day! Like one day we'll just go to some park with all our pets and all. Agreeable?

Ok that's all folks. :D

ufoo!

okay here's images of dl version 1.
tell me what you think. but i tells yous ahs. my photoshop sucks la i was just messing around. i really wish i had a firm grasp of the darn thing so i could create sth of quality in my style, rather than just creating something. but yeah this is just round 1. hopefully i'll get better. i think i'll do a facial products add with dls face next. whoots.

ok this is a little delayed but i've gotten so used to not coming online that i don't have the urge to use my computer anymore. anyways back to the point.... EXAMS ARE OVER!! LALALALALA EXAMS ARE OVER LALALALALALA!!! man i really needed to get that outta my system!! haha. I'm so happy ((((((((((((((((((: over the moon to be exact! i'll worry bout results when they come. haha
so yday i came late for the outing. alr had a date before hand. what can i say everyone wants a piece of the HOT eurasian girl. haha. well the haze was terrible but other then that it was a wicked outing. by 9 only zen cherell and myself were left. that's when the fun began. so all you who left early-some even before i came?!?!-yeah you missed out!! haha. we went into newurbanmale to check out the guys working there, they're so over-rated by the way, unless ah bengs are up your street i don't think they're hot. oh talking bout hot while i was having lunch at subway there was this total hottie who sat in front of my friends and i. i think he's a model or smtg. he was really well groomed. you know perfect out-of-bed-which-means-i-look-hot-all-the-time kinda hair, plucked eyebrows and really clear skin. yeah. he was ang moh too. sighhhhh. haha. ok back to last night. then we went for chocolate fondu at marche. cherell wanted to take forks and spoons to pick up our fruits with and when the man offered us skewers(is that how you spell it?) instead she retaliated by headbutting the plastic doughnut hanging from the ceiling. that girl has issues. haha. yup so then someone,can't remember which of the 2 clowns did it, but one of them suggested we sit on the high chairs. now i know i'm quite tall but i ain't that tall and neither were the other 2. so we all hopped onto the high chairs very unglamourously-like gravity was putting extra force on our asses. man oh man. haha. so after talking we went into the bathroom to camwhore and pee. not at the same time of course that wld be wrong. yup. so i've told it all (((: haha. the haze is really bad though. yday orchard smelt like a bbq pit. yuck. today my trg got cancelled too. zen and i were wondering, more like hoping, if they'll cancel school. heh.
alright. i shall be off then. got movie marathon to attend now. see ya ppl on monday!
oh and A2, promos are over, there's nothing we can do to change our results so LIVE AND LET DIE. PARTY THE HELL OUTTA YOUR WEEKEND!! take care till then!!

and didn't we have fun today!

So, the day comprised of playing at This Fashion with the weird auntie scolding us, Little Miss Sunshine, playing/watching others play DDR in the arcade, camwhoring, squeezing into a neoprint machine, taking pictures with random people either in cartoonsuits or bathrobes, gossiping, spending a long time in every shop, breathing in haze, and the like.

One of the funNEST days i've had with you guys, my beloved classmates (i say 'one of' cos we've had many many fun days :])!

i love y'all!

(:
