had chingay in the afternoon followed by piano lessons, then shi ming's big birthday bash oragnised by lionel. after lessons, i went to the food court to eat cheng teng. i had a craving for it and i had quite abit of time. since i was alone and the place was packed, i just took my valuables and left my jacket and bag there. there were 2 ladies who waited for me to go back then they left cause they saw that i left my stuff there, they are damn nice la. i felt damn paiseh after that la. after that met up with erwin and shermeen, bought 40 goreng pisang which i don't know how they are going to finish them, then hopped on nicole's car to the party. at first huat called and told us its one bus stop after the right turn. then we waited there for him to pick us up. then walked alittle to find him. then he said he was at the bus stop, so we went back to the bus stop then he wasn't there! we called him but his phone got problem then he msged us that he was a bus stop b07. what the hell. who notices the bus stop no?!?! wahahha kum gong ah. according to huat, he said that cause he was carrying watermelons for victor, he didn't take note of the bus stops. -_-" anyways, we still managed to get to the party. dumped lionel in the pool, watched video, SMEARING OF CHOCOLATE CAKE!! that's it man. first it was the shaving cream yesterday, then its chocolate cake today! the worst thing is that when you wash off the chocolate, you'll smell like VOMIT. oh my tian! wahaha. POWERPACK!
today after school was supposed to do the lit ca essay. HOWEVER, esmond hwee requested to play cards and so we played the rest of our time away. oh wells, i did the essay like 1/3. better than nothing! after that lauw, nicole, chen and i, met up in school, headed to heeren to meet the rest of the chiang rai ppl. due to the late canoeist, we waited till 8 plus before we got in at the Vi'lage(previously known as marche). in my view, we were going there to celebrate shimin's birthday, but who knew they planned a belated celebration for me! THANKS EVERYONE =)) it was definately a surprise, WITH THE PLATE OF SHAVING CREAM SMACKED RIGHT INTO MY FACE THANKS TO ALVAN. wow. what a birthday surprise. due to nicole's lousy aiming and skills, i got the worst hit. followed by alvan when i smacked the plate back into his face. then i went ard smearing cream on everyone. so i guess everyone at least had abit of cream smacked on them! today we had pe and yesterday was training, my thigh aches are killing me 0.0 oh wells, it'll get better. thanks ppl of chiang rai'06, thanks for everything you have done today! thanks for the gifts and THE CREAM. night loves. if you didn't probe me again and again, i wouldn't have thought of it. now you've got my attention and my curiousity. so what did i say before that?
today's weather was screwed. seriously. first, it was freaking sunny with the high temps. at mid-afternoon, it rained like mad. and since then the rain has been on and off. 0.0 anyways today school was the usual. did our gp presentation, managed to bluff our way through! wahaha. studied after school, came home, tuition soon. tomorrow is a another torture day! haha. just joking. its fine la. its for our own good! i'm sure our efforts will be paid off. jia you everyone. don't give up cause always look on the bright side of life. dadum...
today school was a bore we had like lesson, lesson, break, lesson, break, lesson, break, pe. if only they clumped up the breaks then we can be let off earlier! oh wells, that just me, dreaming. right after pe, went to foyer, gather juniors. we have ALOT this year. gym is getting bigger and bigger after every year. we all headed to sji, trained alittle, taught some the nehnehgame, headed to bishan. we met up with our new coaches = tough. our new coaches are totally LAX, i'm sure! saw the guys ya-ing tui with their new coach pushing them down. *ouch. we had to run, do like li liang BEFORE training starts. i think its been a long time since i've trained so much and i was damn tired. bet we'll all get some muscle aches here and there by tomorrow! 0.0 oh wells, but its for the better. at this rate, i'm sure we can win something this year! jia you guys! WE CAN DO IT. night loves.
school today was really slack missed one hour of gp due to the welcome ceremony. and phua forgot to bring our presentation that we had to do today! fortunately we were the 4th group and we only did till the 3rd group. *phew* had 2 more lessons then ended school at 1. after that i had a really long talk with ling yi she told me so many things some were new to me, some were not surprising. i guess i can't make everyone happy, can i? and i'm not here to make everyone happy but to make things work i guess. for every opinion you told me, i'll think about it. there's nothing i can change overnight, but i'll try in the long run. pushing away everything you said, there was one line that i liked the best and it really surprised me that you would be the one saying it. you said, "i want to win something with you guys, and its not just anyone, but you all." ling yi and everyone else esp. the rhythmic people, i want to win something as well. i want that memory that kind where our efforts were paid, where we smile the whole night away thinking about the glory that we earned. i want it so badly. like you said, i want to win with you all and no one else. thanks ling yi for saying this. after that i went to far east with phua, terri tan, ling yi and alvan. we ate, shopped, walked ard, went borders then home. i guess things may not be the way i wanted it to be, or how some of us wanted to be. but i'll try to make the best out of what we have and hopefully we can solve this together. not as just a few of us but everyone. night loves.
seeing everyone saying thanks and showing their appreciation for other just makes me feel like we have grown. not physically but we all have becomed sort of more mature. year after year just fly pass just like that and unknowingly, we all have changed a least alittle. i still remember those childish days of secondary school. when we all just did what we felt like doing without considering the consequences. we did foolish things like climbing over the school gates, bringing up the food to class in stealth, laughing about nonsensical stuff, forever talking in class... etc. come to think of it, we all have grown up. those days seemed to be so far away. we all took different routes in life. we have gone through more experiences that were heart breaking as well as those that were heart warming. through the ups and downs, i guess we have learnt how to deal with life better. don't stop saying those thank you's. for with them, we will never take each other for granted. think about those friendships once in a while and thank him/her for it. thank you my dearest friends.
Today was cca bazaar. We had this smiling competition to keep the smiles on our faces during our performance. The artistic did well today! *applause* as for the rhythmic, though we had several mistakes, the smiles made up for all of it. Although there was the competition going on, I wasn’t smiling for the nydc treat but more because of the performing spirit in us. If you just want to join gym because you want to pass jc life without any Michael Tan troubles or you just want something to do in jc, gym is definitely not for you. There were so many performances because I wanted gym to be livelier, more vibrant. I want all of you to be proud of being a gymnast. Can you imagine gym being a boring cca, no performances, just plainly going to training week after week after week? I can’t. sometimes i'm just so afraid that i wouldn't do a good job that i've becomed a little withdrawn, not at the extremes though. sometimes so fearful that i become at a lost at what to do at times. Sometimes we just have to learn to forgive and forget. Sometimes others may do or say something annoying. Think of that person’s good points, there must be something he/she has done before. I’m not perfect and I’m trying my best to do so. Sometimes I must admit that I can be bitchy but I feel that its not the best way to solve anything. You know when you say horrible comments to someone else, that someone else is feeling like shit. You won’t want to be that person. Why then do we always do things on people that we do not want on ourselves? I was blog hopping when I saw some people writing down their appreciation for others. Sometimes, just a simple thank you or a short note of appreciation can really be very heart warming. After all that effort the person has made, even a simple thank you can take the stress away. I want to show my appreciation for others as well. gymmers:do you know why i want to make all these performances? i want to keep the spirit up in cjgym. last year, the captains did a great job in doing so and if the spirit dies down this year, i'm going to blame myself forever. i may not be the best captain, i have never undertaken such a great leadership role before and because of that i may be at a lost what to do when thing get confusing. i'm trying my best to be the best captain, to keep the gymnastic's spirit burning this year. but i can't do this alone. sometimes, i need your honest opinions, i need you to forgive one another for their wrong doings. i need your help. we had our disagreements, but we survived it all. i don't want anyone to feel left out or alone in gym. i want to let you all know that each and every single one of you is important to gym. i thank you guys for all the efforts you have made even when you were tired. thank you for the bond you guys have created in gym. i will never forget the times, the moments, the days, the challenge, the sweat, the pain, the laughter and the tears. i hope you will not too. thank you for being in my life. thank you for being in gym. 2t35: one year has already passed. we have survived 1t35 and we are now in 2t35. i still can remember clearly the orientation days. we were enthusiastic and so bonded. it made me want to come to school. it made me feel that making cjc my first choice was worth it. sometimes, there were horrible comments made and many arguments. but i hope it never did affect our class spirit. i thank you for being such a fun class. i thank you for always being there. thank you for accepting me for who i am and being my friend. i thank you always for the memories and for being in t35. i will always remember these 2 years. truthians: i thank some of you for always being there for me till now. it has been a year that we've been apart. we used to see each other every single day but now we see each other barely once a month. you guys are the true friends. those who follow the phrase, " a friend in need is a friend indeed". i hope that our golden friendship will never be lost. it's been so long and i hope that we will always stay together. i know its hard, but its worth the try and the efforts. i'll always remember sitting in school, talking, eating orange bowl, playing cards. those were the days. And I thank you for those days. Thank God I found you I was lost without you My every wish and every dream Somehow became reality When you brought the sunlight Completed my whole life I'm overwhelmed with gratitude Cause baby, I'm so thankful I found you
this morning half way to school i realised I DIDN'T BRING MY PHONE. what a way to start the shool year =( fortuantely i survived the day. borrowed a few phones here and there, but it was alright la. determined to stick to my new year resolution (which i newly created) of not sleeping in class i didn't sleep in class today!! oh wells, i good start is better than nothing. today had practice then went to town to watch death note its damn cool. the script writer is a genuis, seriously. can't imagine how long it took him/her to write the whole plot. the plot is seriously unexpected la! oh wells, a short update for today, doubt i'll have the time and energy to blog for a few days! night loves.
went to esplanade to see the fireworks again like the previous new year countdown. feels like dejavu, waiting there intently for the fireworks to appear and when it does, we all shout in amazement. and when it's over, we all feel like it had gone by so quickly. anyways, at 6 plus phua, erwin, esmond and i bought carls jr, macs and bk and ta pao to esplanade. we were probably one of the few who were there at that point of time. dom came to join us soon after. we sat there for 5 hours playing ji gor bah and cai quan. in the middle of that 5 hours, it started to drizzle and with 5 people, we squeeze under ONE umbrella that i brought! 0.0 we were REALLY LANGBEI! fortunately the rain didn't get THAT heavy so we just got alittle damp. the fireworks started very abruptly having no countdown to new year nor having any hints of starting. weird. it was not too bad BESIDES THE 5 HOURS OF WAITING. don't know if i want to do that next year all over again! 0.0 wahaha. but we were so close to the fireworks. we could see the fireworks shoot up from the distance. cool sia. looks like the year 2006 has gone by it will never come back, gone but not lost. from yj to cj. from cca-less to being in gym. from knowing no one to knowing so many people. i've made so many friends. done so many things that will always be remembered. 2007 has come, a new beginning, a new start. new year resolutions? nahhh. never had them. its another year of fun, and another year of stress. looks like things are looking gloomy next year and its all up to myself to make it better. jia you everyone!
