random past-midnight post

so yes i presume that the rest of the world is asleep right now because no one has replied me on whatsapp hmmph.
it's okay, i enjoy the solitude and comfort the night has to offer.
well, so i just finished a session of sunday night baking again.
i don't know why but it has become a ritual for me this year.
to bake on sunday nights, well not every, but just, when i am in the mood to.
since there was only one day of school this week, i decided to switch on my work mode and did as much revision as i could without over-tiring myself.
so yes i dedicated my four-day break to some revision, and left my sunday night for a good baking therapy session.
tonight i baked jam-filled vanilla cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and a strawberry halve on top x


not bad an attempt huh? :)
obviously these 3 cupcakes are the prettiest, there were some where the icing just smeared badly while some of the strawberries were just really ugly hahaha.
spent a great deal of effort trying to wash up (especially the damn piping bag, urgh took me so much effort to scrub the remaining icing left...) but nonetheless it's always a good time :-)
whoa oh we don't even have to try it's always a good time~
okay sorry getting back on track.

guess i only have about 5 weeks left to promos, and that's when my fate of promotion or retention will be determined.
all i can do now is put in my best effort and let my results lead me where to go.
i honestly am not the least worried (or at least, not yet) about promos..
i don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but to me i choose to look at it on the bright side.
though i wouldn't dare to think about where i'd be next year, i wouldn't give myself the option of retaining so i'll just work hard for now :)
yup school life. boring bullshit. meh.

following this will just be a random thought or two i've had for the past few days of break.

you know, if there were one person i could choose to come to sr with me too so i'd feel less alone, i guess it'd be janice.



yes janice.
well i am quite certain she wouldn't see this, but anyway let me continue.
i would admit that we aren't the closest of friends or the best of buddies, but the fact that we were lab partners for 2 years.... well there'd be some bond right?
she's someone whom i really look up to, because she never seems to have a temper.
maybe you could say i don't know her well enough, but at least that's the vibe she gives me.
through my interaction with her in labs for the past 2 years, i am really thankful for someone who was always there for me during lessons everytime i was in a state of panic during experiments (i hate lab sessions btw).
janice, being the totally calm girl she is, would always be there to help me whenever i was in doubt.
and not to mention the time i broke her test tubes.
thank you for helping me with the clean-up too sigh guilt x1000.
ok that's besides the point.
the reason why i'd want her to be here in sr with me is because i really find her a great person to talk to.
she's just like the older sister i never had.
one who would always listen to everything i wanted to say, one who would give me great advice on almost anything.
well at least that's what i felt from that short whatsapp conversation we had a month back.
she's like my confidante, someone who was ever-so caring and was always there to just... listen.
i don't know why but all the more because she's currently in tpjc's guitar ensemble, all the more i feel that she should have been here in sr too.
i really really really wished she were here with me.
though we wouldn't be classmates, we'd probably be in the same cca and at least i feel comfortable enough to be there.
i honestly love her company because she's someone i can really be free with but at the same time, have a real serious talk.
well i guess it's fate that we wouldn't be in the same school, but at least i know we are bonded together by a common aspect and that is our cca.
maybe another reason why i'd love for us to be in the same school is probably because i want to repay all her kindness hahaha she's been too nice to me over the past 2 years i feel so bad T_T

nonetheless, i hope you're doing well janice!
since i can't make it up to you through actions, i guess i'd do it here over a short blog post, because i truly am, very thankful for you and all that you've done :-)
hope you're having fun in school too, catch up soon ok~

xoxo your last lab partner of your life since you don't step into labs anymore hehe

will run 2013

today, 3rd august, was a such a memorable day.
today was the day that i took part in my first 10km marathon.
it was a personal challenge for me, considering that i am not a physically fit person.
to have only run a maximum distance of 5km at one go, to challenge 10km would be a difficult task...
but i did it, and i even ran 11km under the stipulated time of 1h 30min!
i'm sure i wouldn't have been able to complete this arduous journey if not for the help of my friends and my dad, who came down to run 10km too :-)
thank you for always being there every step of the way and for the times i actually wanted to give up.

well, the first 2 rounds weren't too bad...
i started walking after i finished my third, i just couldn't find the motivation to carry on running.
however i managed to regain my pace at the spectators' area because there was just simply too many boys watching.....
pressurizing eh.
and i made sure i ran the whole stretch from the fitness corner until the concourse..
ran with gina and yueenn for about the 4th or 5th round but lost them closely after T_T
so i was alone pretty much the whole time... until i saw maria and jennee like 200m ahead of me.
then i sprinted like crazy to catch up with them and i finally did hahahaha but then that drained me dry of my energy.
managed to keep up with them throughout till the end!
however at the 6th/7th round my ankles were really sore, like there was this sharp acute pain stinging both my ankles arghhhh.
it hurt real bad but what could i do? run. press on.
i stopped for water every round because it rly gave me that burst of energy i needed and boy it sure was good!
thanks to all the supporters of 1sr20 and other ppl who cheered for me hahahha.
when it came to the boys' race, jennee and i were roaming around and cheered for every boy/male teacher that we knew!
it was really fun giving out random high-fives to the male runners as a class!
there was this boy who was approaching us at a walking pace and after i high-fived him he picked up speed again and went on running!
this happened twice even hahah glad to have made you run faster woohoo!
i think those random people who high-fived us back are really cool!
though we didn't know them, but they spontaneously fived us back and that was awesome! :)
everytime a boy from sr20 ran past, all the girls were just like "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *name*!"
i swear we could win the most enthusiastic class award hahah :')
it's rly cool how we had so much energy to sustain cheering and high-fiving for 1hr+ even after we ran our 10km.
and yay 3 is the magic number!!!! :)
so happy aww hahah.

yup so here are today's photos!!


srjc will run 2013 xoxo
