gold forever

Went shopping with mummy and daddy (without the brothers) last sunday and had heaps of fun.

It was more like a food trail than a shopping trip haha. But anyway great sunday :-)

My char siew + chicken rice is the best.

(I hate breast meat haha)

Omg so on Monday, I had chicken rice for recess, lunch AND dinner! 

Have been on a crazy chocolate frenzy/feast with myself the past week. No self-control over chocolates haha I literally just keep popping them into my mouth and let it melt and then pop another.

Coming to school to find notes/letters/food/things on your table is one of the nicest feeling ever. Thank you Sam Oh <3

Friday was quite bad.

I didn't talk during training at all because.. I just didn't feel like talking. And coach kept scolding the Sec 2s for no reason at all. He kept shouting and shouting and shouting and when there's nothing left for him to shout about, well, he still kept shouting. He was really harsh for no reason and it was hard to watch. I really miss Yobbo. When he was here coach was NOT like that at all. He was really mild. Was. But anyway at home I got so annoyed with myself I went to bed at 10 haha. But saturday was good. Chem tuition went quite well for once and we went for cheap sushi at Sushi Tei for dinner. Brought ahma along cause ahgong had some function :-)

There was more food than this. The whole table was filled with food and everyone was so happy that night. :-)

Oh, here's the funniest photo ever:

The week has been great. Had so much fun in school unicorn attacking/head butting people and laughing so much. Eating a lot too. So glad that my friends have sorted out their differences and compromised and that everything is fine and dandy and so much better now. 

Exams are in two weeks and I really need to start revision pronto.

I just bowed to a mannequin. Yes my life sucks.

School was great tho.

Life just got pretty confusing for me.

Everything's so messed up. I don't know who to listen to anymore. I don't know who to side anymore. Sitting on the fence is not even an option. I love all of you guys so much and I don't want to lose any one of you. Not even one. Just leave it at that and go back to normal please?

Please make everything stop?

Friday

Cheryl, Lik Qi, Rui Ching, Yuci and Joanna came over to my place after school on Friday!

We were supposed to just change/bathe then head out for a movie but once we sat down we got really lazy so we decided to just lepak here and watch a movie in my room instead haha. We watched Gone while eating loads and loads of maggee mee. Decided to order macs because we were still hungry hahaha. We are pigs I swear: mc flurry, nuggets, mc wings, mc chicken, mc spicy, big mac, chicken mc grill, apple pie, loads and loads of fries, and plenty of coke. It was like a picnic in an air-con room hahaha <3 (note: Gone is an absolutely stupid movie please don't ever watch it.) After the movie ended, we went to the park after the movie to "burn off the calories" haha.

Had such an amazing Friday with these crazy girlies seriously laughed so much haha. Love y'all <3

Monday

Racial Harmony 2012 was a blast. Everyone was so sporting and almost more than half the cohort wore ethnic costumes! Assembly was so lovely with all the mei meis in their colourful costumes and us looking so vibrant on the field. Class was as per normal but after school was CRAZY haha. 3L practiced our indian dance at the space above the forum until 3.45 then we ran up to the MPR for the auditions hahaha. Our dance was hilarious and everyone in the MPR couldn't stop laughing haha. We all laughed till our tummies hurt but we all had such great fun nonetheless :-) Did a class "woosh" after that omg best feeling in the world. Starting to really really love my class <3

Best Racial Harmony Day yet. :')

Change

I have a love-hate relationship with Change.

I like change. Change is good after all, right? You feel happy when you get to change your phone, your clothes, your camera, your shoes, your things, no? And sometimes you change too. You change for the better.

But sometimes change hurts, too. You stand there, rooted in the present and you look back into your past. It hurts, doesn't it? It hurts to see how great things were, and you wish so much that nothing has changed, and nothing will ever change.

Not happening.

I miss 2011 so much. I miss being in the same class as the chinkies, I miss having molo as our form teacher, I miss our pet goldfish, I miss being in 2 Grace. I miss our holding site. I miss training on that netball court, not on red gravel. I miss studying and singing and dancing and laughing in the music room, the netballers' out-of-place sanctuary. I miss being a team of 12. I miss Mr Yeo. Things have changed, they have changed so much. And it really hurts quite a lot to look back. And it hurts even more trying not to look back, with all the memories forcing it's way to surface.
"Run baby run, don't ever look back, they'll tear us apart, if you give them the chance." Our anthem for the dreaded 6 rounds... Now, I'd very much prefer to run 6 rounds together as a team and sing our woes away together than to do even 5 minutes of burpees as an incomplete one. I miss sports trip, one of the highlights of my life. Sitting in the canteen at 12 am eating peanut butter biscuits and talking and talking and talking. And stargazing under the coconut tree singing "Forever and Always" by the coast and boom netting. I miss feeling like nothing in the world can ever make me sad.

But eventually, at the end of the day, everything works out. I miss the past, but I don't resent the present. Stop looking back. Change is constant, and you can't do anything about it.

Change your perspectives, then.

Misc

Movie night with the fam on Fri haha it was so much fun. 

Pulled through the whole week just for that. Spiderman was really good btw. Like, it will really tug at your heartstrings and omg it was so exciting I think my heart dropped out (a lot of times) hahaha. Yup then we went for supper! Great night <3

(double exposure of the post-its of encouragements and a page of my planner)

Had chinese oral yesterday (O's) and it really shouldn't be called oral it should be called embarrassment of your life or something along that line. Me and the examiners had a good laugh during oral though I think I screwed up quite a fair bit. It was really very embarrassing haha and when I related the story during chinese class we all cracked up for a good 5 minutes. Then we spent another 5 minutes laughing at the build-up of other embarrassing encounters! But seriously I think I thoroughly embarrassed myself.

BUT IT'S ALRIGHT I'M JUST SO GLAD ORAL IS OVER.

And chin up to those who didn't think you did too well, there's more to life than stinky chinese oral! Don't worry be happy :-)

Training was super good today! Actually felt productive and courtwork went pretty well! We played court while the C'div did killer fitness. 4 x 10 min burpees + 10 rounds around the track (4km), sprint at the straight parts, and do 20 sit-ups/ push-ups/ scissors at the curves so crazy right! And, drills went super well too! No more -30s! It was just a very happy training lah haha super hilarious. And he came :-) 

Dreading Friday trainings though.

Came to class today and found al these on my table. 

Card and photos from Micaela, Bread and letter from Brenlyn (She's super sweet she bought me and Evan bread because we pulled through oral awwh) and keychain from Jo <3

Thankful for everything :')

Best sports day ever!!! 

Was initially reluctant to go but it ended up being really great and dragging my lazy ass there was so worth it :')

Started off with the whole school on the field dancing the family dance. Must really be a sight! Afterwards, every house took turns to go up to the track to perform our house cheers haha.

When everyone was done and back at their respective contingents, cheer came on! But green being the all time loser we got the worst seats aka right at the corner. So we couldn't see the cheerios cheer AT ALL. All the green migrated to blue but we got chased back! So me, Natalyn and Sarah got really annoyed and despereate and we ran all the way up to the canteen and when we finally made it there, THE SPECS STAND'S SHELTER BLOCKED THE WHOLE TRACK TOTALLY!!! We felt so cheated haha had a great laugh before running all the way to the rooftop and finally getting a (not so) good view of them. But after watching green, stupid cucumber chased us all away!!! ARGH. So we ran down staircase A and went up staircase B back to the rooftop. Then at the rooftop we were creeping to the balcony when cucumber suddenly turned his head OMG ADRENALINE RUSH so we ran to a wall and hid there! But this NPCC girl saw us and came to chase us down and when she was talking to us, cucumber saw!!! I mean seriously who would talk to a wall right. So cucumber walked towards us and our hearts were literally lodged in our chests. We got chased down again. OH and in the process of everything, we missed red's cheer entirely argh :-((( And they were the best! Bummer.

Anyway then we went back to our seats and had a great time cheering green on!!! The races were really great to watch haha. But it started raining and they decided to cancel everything else :-( But it was really crazy cause as the rain was pelting down the sun was hung right there. The rain didn't stop until much later though. But they started playing songs and when the song for the family dance came on, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was on the specs stand, dancing the rain away! The spirit of SN is one you would never have felt anywhere else. 

When St Nicks is at its best, no one comes close.

JULY

June has been ____. 

Because there is no one word that can encapsulate the chaos, maybe, of it.

It was a hell of a emotional roller coaster. Alas, whatever happened happened, and whatever happens will happen. Let's make July count. All of us. It's the start of the last half of the year, and that itself is an important enough reason to seek happiness this July. 

June was good, nonetheless :-)
