great 2nd part of the day today...was rather low in the morning, but got cheered up immensely later in the afternoon, thank you! :) went to watch shrek 2 with shane in the evening..wow really great show..superbly funny with all the spoofs *grinses* fantastic entertainment, must watch!!! :) haha sighs, i'm still stuffed from the huge box of delicious popcorn man...couldn't even finish it in the end...erps feel so so guilty now, what with the hols coming up too, and the sedentary lifestyle i suspect will come upon me...*grinses* oh yes we met some 3D people with their econs teacher, watching the same movie in the same row with us! funky teacher they have...must definitely pull mr chan along for class outing one day if we do organise a proper one, haha maybe like in 6-7 months' time *laughs*

am so so in love with the song written for american idol, "i believe"...it's so beautiful, lyrics and melody..roughly deciphered the lyrics, here they are :)

I believe
have you ever reached a rainbow's end,
and did you find your pot of gold?
ever catch a shooting star,
tell me how high did you soar
ever felt like you were dreaming,
just to find that you're awake
and the magic that surrounds you
can lift you up and guide you on your way

i can see it in the stars across the sky
dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
now i finally realise
see i've waited all my life, for this moment to arrive
finally...

i believe in the impossible
if i reach deep within my heart
overcome any obstacles
let the strings fall apart
see i've tried to be the very best
shine my light for all to see
cos anything is possible when you believe

love keeps lifting me higher
love keeps lifting me higher

i can see it in the stars across the sky
dreamt of a hundred thousand dreams before
now i finally realise
see i've waited all my life, for this moment to arrive
finally, finally i believe


ah well. inspiring song. perhaps it can inspire me to believe that i can struggle through the medical biotech tutorial as quickly as possible, so i can go sleep *laughs*

i can see it in the stars across the sky
dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
now i finally realise
see i've waited all my life, for this moment to arrive
finally

yaaaaay!!! we won rugby 6-3 against acjc!!!! *beams* yay so happy for the team...they certainly deserve it man...always training until so late everyday and all..and of course with a great captain like ian...yaaay! :)

haha gp test was screwed...one of my worst ever. essay was like, "erps, i can't write on any of these topics man...", then a reluctant launch into democracy as a last resort sighs. incoherent essay bleahs. compre was quite hard too..haha nvm we'll see how it goes :)

haha QA test tomorrow *grinses* i'm aiming for more than 16/100! :) hopefully all my mugging for the 16 marks will help, and i won't like blank out and lose even that *grinses*

sighs so very tired though...was ready to collapse even before gp started, and was even worse after gp. can't wait for the hols to come so that i can get more sleep..feeling really stressed out about class video though, really really stressed. haven't started, and won't get a chance to anymore since the hols are here...please don't hate me 3L...*guilt-stricken*

everything's about balance, but i really don't know what's just right, and what's too much. perhaps you just confuse me in a way i've never known.

happy day today!!! :)

jen and xizzy came to rj for council invest *beams* so so so happy to see them man! haven't seen them since that march 27 outing with the 412 pple..and today was another mini-gathering yet again, with all of us gathered in the canteen during our common break...haha really missed xizzy's bear hugs, luckily got a loadful of it today...and really happy for jen too..she's looking really really happy..good for you gal! a belated congrats! *grinses* yay can't wait to see xiz on friday again! :D was just on a super high after seeing everyone together, taking a group photo...just really felt so so good...*beams*

sighs really missing yet again the 412 days...seems like i'm always talking about it, but i really really do man...somehow i'll always share a special bond with you guys...love how we don't have to be careful of what we say because we know no one's plotting against you or something...because we know that we all want the best for each other. there's just no politics involved, and that makes everything so much easier.

haha sighs gp common test tomorrow! erps i so do not want to sit through a 3 hour paper writing frantically and furiously attempting to finish up my script, but that was just yet another one of my redundant sentences, since no one would want to either haha sighs. but looking forward to rugby finals tomorrow! i'll be praying and crossing my fingers that rj wins man...:)

haha whoops haven't posted for such a long time yet again...probably due to the flurry of lecture tests and other activities that just tire you out so easily, you get home and fall asleep immediately...

anyway, yup! happy!! *grinses* i feel blessed and happy! went to church today especially to thank God for answering my prayers and for everything else, and for being with me all this while when i needed help...service today was really very interesting and relevant to what i was thanking God for too...reverend melvin huang was talking about faith and how it doesn't always mean believing that you'll get what you pray for, but instead, it's more of trusting God no matter what he gives to you..believing in His decisions...i don't know, just felt it was very very real..especially when people often question the existence of God when disaster befalls, but really, it's to believe that there's a reason for everything, so we should just look on the brighter side of things and take things as they come, no? haha just enjoyed service immensely today :)


often it still baffles me how i got so lucky...but i guess i'm just truly and completely blessed at knowing you. :)

yay for once in a long long time, i'm back at home before 2pm! couldn't bear not to record this momentous occasion here *grinses* finally a chance to catch up on much needed sleep and long-overdue shows to watch muahahaha...so much for studying for maths lecture test tomorrow...like milly said, i think probablility of failing it is 1! :) sighs somehow that doesn't strike a chord in me as it used to do...not good man..

haha can't wait for outing with laoshi man...fun! counting down to it..15 more days only!!

on a very very late note...yun's birthday party the other day was great! thanks yun, for the delicious food, yummy cake, and karaoke heh and thanks everyone who was there making it fantastic..had a wonderful time talking to old friends like val whom i hadn't really had a chance to really talk to for a long time...really must find an opportunity to do so with the rest too...

which reminds me...WROTE gathering! :) probably 10th june? can?? hopefully we'll be able to get everyone down...sunny, xiz, val, kai, jen, ad and crys! can't wait to see everyone again man..:)

haha k i'm feeling super high now...*beams*

happy birthday milly! *hugs*

ora today...yay so glad that the store was a success! haha k so things didn't totally sell out, but we actually broke even, and even more than that! :) felt that this year's ORA was considerably less happening than our sec 4 one, like there were much much fewer stalls and all, but still, it was a good one...oh dear, and my last ora as a student too..erps i feel aged. but thanks to all who helped out at the class stall! *beams*

haha damn sad..didn't get to see mr lee get dunked...can't believe i missed the highlight of the day..but didn't miss mr chin and mr hodge's dunking! *grinses* front-row seats even...haha fun! :)

on a more serious note...

sighs...i get the feeling that the mood in school seems to be on a slippery slope to decline...worries, stress, and a whole mesh of other things. or maybe it's just me that's making me see that it's that way. but everyday you're just reminded of the fact that it's MAY...and common tests and prelims aren't that far away at all...and if that isn't bad enough...there're still other little things that make you even more stressed out and distracts you from work, and in the end, nothing gets done at the end of the day, and you feel even worse. it's just a vicious cycle that never ends...then again, i feel sad whenever i think that this is my last year of school...can't imagine myself not waking up at 6 in the morning and getting ready for school..not looking forward to seeing friends and talking to them in school...not rushing out tutorials and not attending lectures...there's really so much i'll miss, i don't really want it to end at all, but it's going to anyway..*sniff*

i want to be in this moment forever.


sometimes, i try to search for words, but i don't know what to say, i don't know where to start, and there's a silence waiting to be broken. sometimes i know what i should do, but other times, the reasons seem blurred, and everything just isn't that clear anymore. feel like i'm in the midst of an unpredictable storm, and inside, it's just a tangled mess of confused emotions that won't disappear. how can they be sorted out, when i don't even know what is real, and what isn't? i don't know, i really don't.
