i'm sorry i haven't been updating!
now i can finally settle down to blog about the past 3 weeks of my life :-)
commendation day (25 oct)
so we celebrated the final official day of being a j1 student.
it's pretty sad how everything has come to an end.
as much as i can't wait for 2013 to end, it is heart-wrenching to watch the class disband.
well i don't exactly feel much towards the class, but yeah, it's difficult to start anew next year by making new friends in a new class.
i like living in the comfort of old things.
nevertheless i've still made some good friends in class and got to know many of you better, and i'm thankful for that.
as we commemorate our official last day together, let's not forget what we've been through together.
be it studying for promos, spurring each other on in times of trials, comforting the ones with teary eyes, having birthday celebrations, doing a little something for the teachers, exhibiting our class spirit everytime, thank you 1sr20 for this whole year :-)
moving on to the personal dedications to the people i've got to know better in class :-)
or well, maybe just at least something that i would like to say to them.
this is maria, my mother in school.
you were probably my second friend i made in this class during orientation, and yeah, a friend that stuck with me through thick and thin throughout this year.
anything that happened, you were always there.
you never fail to ask me how everything is - "how's cca?" "how's yesterday's outing?" etc.
and for being ever-so motherly, the big sister who would always care for her younger ones :-)
you are a great advice giver and a ranting partner.
i will really miss you and it has been my pleasure to have known you this year :)
i might not say this to you in the face, but i just want you to know that you shouldn't ever give up, go out there and pursue your dreams like the brave girl you are, and that i will always support you in everything that you do!
:-)
this is vanessa, my laughing machine who makes me feel better.
you are wonderful.
honestly.
i don't even know how, but your presence always makes me feel at ease and that i can be myself in front of you without getting judged ahahaha.
the silliest things i do are always somehow witnessed by you.
and you just laugh.
but then again seeing you laugh makes me happy too.
i'm really glad to have become good friends with you this year, and till today i am still amazed at how you can totally stay as cool as a cucumber at everything.
thank you for teaching me what it is like to embrace both love and hate.
i am confused by your maturity level because you can be so childish yet mature at the same time haha!
let's hope 2014 will be a better year :)
this is jennee, my super adorable baby. (on a side note let's look at the boy in the background)
you, thank you for standing by me all the time.
yes you bully me and tease me like no other, and that's what makes you so special.
i know that you will always be there for me like how i would too.
thank you for everything: the typical schoolgirl fangirling, the really childish fights, the super crazy teasing, the silently sad moments.
i guess you could say we shared so much together this bond might just be even hard to break.
you are a really special friend to me.
and i also want you to know that you CAN do it, you really can.
and that i will always have your back no matter what.
*insert photo of mavis here during commendation day*
okay so i realised i did not take a photo with mavis on c-day...
nevertheless, she is mavis, my weird grandmother in school.
yes until today i am still very puzzled at your weirdness/stubbornness hahaha.
anyway, the year has had many ups and downs and we had a fair share of them.
despite the many conflicts during pw, i guess you and i all learnt a lot.
thank you for being the weird yet thoughtful one, the one who always did small little things for us to spur us on, such as baking (but with minimal sugar...) cupcakes.
and you were there for me when times got rough, and for always being the one with the weird outbursts of laughter added on with some fanning effects.
no matter what the future has in store for you, i hope that you will be happy in everything you embark on.
this is charles, my fellow portable entertainment system by mimicking.
er her, thanks arh charles, for being the only one who would laugh at/imitate teachers with me arh, er her.
i think everyone thinks we are annoying, hor!
kay, but it's okay, because it's really funny.
kay armmmm, i'm very thankful for you, k, for all the rants and talks k that we have. *seal lips*
not to worry k, i won't forget you, because you are the first and probably the only person who will go crazy about teachers with me lor, mmm....
hahaha okay on a serious note, yes thank you for making 2013 a lot more lively with all the crazy antics of yours mimicking teachers.
it really cracks me up so bad i don't even know why hahaha!
hopefully you didn't regret coming to sr and to this class too!
this is pearlyn, my cool pw mate who sings super well.
you have such a good heart really, and your talents never fail to amaze me.
you sing and play the guitar REALLY well, but that would probably be just an understatement.
and you are always ever so kind :')
you're really such a nice person who would always be full of nothing but positive vibes!
so yes, even if you forget every single thing about me, just remember me by "it's ok it's ok it's ok, never mind never mind never mind." yeah? ;)
this is patty, my kindest and sweetest pw mate ever.
still can't believe you actually bought me a notebook for my birthday and even left a note inside knowing how much i adore handwritten notes :')
you're the first really!
so sweet i cannot.
always full of praises for my blog sigh you flatter me.
honestly you are a great blogger too and i thank you for you and your genuine heart :)
you're so kind and thoughtful i can't even put it in words :P
and if you are ever feeling sad, just remember that tomorrow will always be a better day!
this is marcus, my crazy and annoyingly egoistic cg rep.
you are totally not a guy i swear.
you bake and cook and watch dramas like a girl oh my goodness.
it's really fascinating to see how your ego can stretch till like the ends of the earth.
don't always think you are the best please!
anyway, i'm glad you actually came over to guitar! :)
i hope that you'll blend in well and that you'll pick up the skill really soon!
i have faith in you marcus ding go go go go.
this is yueenn, the weird girl who always shits with me. (oops)
i remember you were the first girl who sat beside me for cg orientation.
and apparently i was really cold and unfriendly haha!
it's cool how we were still able to remain close even after orientation and that we were in different cliques.
it's nice to have short catch-up sessions with you over dinner :-)
and i know that you will always be willing to listen to me muhahaha.
thanks shit buddy for being so weird and all - i will really miss being in the same class as you!
^ the orientation girls :')
nike we run (3 nov)
i'm way too lazy to even upload the photos from my phone to facebook...
maybe because i look fat in all of 'em photos -_-
sucks big time because i put on so much weight since the start of the year.
ah well.
anyway that group photo looks nice :-)
and considering that this nike we run was my first ever commercial marathon, i think it was merely a so-so experience.
the crowd is too much for me to take, and the running roads are way too narrow for this amount of people to even run on...
but nonetheless i thought the split road concept was quite interesting!
only properly ran about the first 3-4km and gave up thereafter.
just started to walk like a boss omg.
the sun was rather hot as the day progressed to late morning.
went to collect our great eastern run pack at suntec thereafter and also had manhattan's fish market for lunch for the first time with the class :-)
but meh my food took at least half an hour to arrive omg i was so frustrated....
crashed for 2 hours when i reached home.
op exam (5 nov)
5 november, tuesday, marked the end of sr089's journey together as a pw group.
honestly i am so thankful for these 3 girls because i think we really showed what it means by 'girl power'! :)
we did it girls!
i'm glad we pulled through op together where everything ran so smoothly, and that our hard work has paid off despite having such a crappy teacher.
i think it's great how we're all self-motivated and for patty and pearlyn, so passionate about this topic.
i'm glad i got to work with you all as a group.
though we might have our ups and downs of working together, but i guess our hard work has paid off and we can gladly say that OP is OVER.
actually i kinda miss doing op hahaha can we do it again?
come to think of it pw has really taught me many useful life skills such as public speaking and report writing.
hopefully we can celebrate again together next year after receiving our pw results :')
that's all i have for now folks!
till then!
approximately 2 more weeks before i fly for nepal!
mixed feelings of uncertainty, excitement, and a tinge of dread.
don't know what to expect sigh.
