i never thought i'd say this.
i remember at the start of sec3, when i first took a look at the class list, the first thought that came to me was "oh gosh, someone help. im stuck in a class full of china scholars."
and well, that thought stuck with me through obs, when i WASNT with the rest of my class save a few china scholars. i remember clearly being very annoyed with them and all.
but i guess what i want to say now is, i love them. i love them so much, and i dont think i'll ever forget them. im glad i belong to the back half of the class where the rest of them are. if not, i would never have had the chance to sit with them during paper checking.
its so ironic eh? when it first started out, i disliked them because of grades. yet its the same thing that brought us closer together. i'll never forget the times where we all squeezed each other's hands out of nervousness, and the really awkward attempts to communicate in chinese/ english. im really appreciative of them. sure our grades are worlds apart, but what we feel whilst waiting to receive them, the heartbreak, disappointment, tears, joy, happiness- are all the same.
i regret not opening up to them earlier, but only doing so during THIS eoy period. ive missed out on so many chances simply because i refused to accept them. guess thats something i should note.
reading all their messages, (even though they were really really short because of the limited space on the autograph page), i felt all these again. perhaps more strongly then ever. and whereas sometimes i felt they were just so different, they're really just the same as us, trying to have fun and make friends.
so THANKYOU, scholars, if any of you are reading this.
then theres the group of people i always hang out with.
hey guys, i know some of you would definitely be reading this, and i PROMISE to write you a proper note that you can expect during FAM!
thankyou for all the times we spent camhoring together, gossiping about things, being tablemates, heart-to-heart talks, the laughter, tears and joy. without all of you, life would have been such a BORE.
arthi- for being oh-so-charismatic
brintha- for being my bestest gossip pal :D
amanda- for being there to listen to me and share your troubles with me so i could help!
chloe- for being there to bitch with me and always hearing me out
jolene- for being supportive of me and everything else (including nonsense!)
lava- for being dirty, disgusting and my fantastic tablemate/ scapegoat with ms tk wong xD
nageis- for being an awesome funny pal and i still cant believe you were a bully in primary school!
shroobs- for being a superbly superb tablemate and always laughing/ talking with me at the back of class! and the sari we slept under!
dayna- for being your vegetable freak and going all scream-y with me
janny- for an awesome tablemate and annoying me till no end and the secret stuff we do at the back!
so my bestest friends,
once again, thankyou. thankyou arthi, brintha, amanda, chloe, jo, lava, nagib, shroobs, dayna and janny.
thankyou for everything you've done for me and everything else.
i'll miss you guys always.
and to the rest of 403, im sorry we never got a chance to bond much, but i do have a memorable moment with most people.
i guess we should have done more in sec3 eh?
but im glad sec4 went the way it did, because we definitely got ALOT closer and became ALOT more bonded.
is this goodbye?
i hope not.
I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you try to fly,
It's sad, but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
Starts with goodbye.
I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet.

okay, i hope i dont make any stupid mistakes with this post like i did with the one a week back- which i had to delete because blogger wouldnt let me lock the post. but just in case,
DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS PURELY FOR COMIC RELIEF, AND IS IN NO WAY TRYING TO CONVEY ANY HIDDEN MEANING OR ANY CRITICISM. THE AUTHOR WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FORM OF DAMAGE DEALT TO ANY READERS.
okay. now that that's out of the way :D i was so desperate to remember everything that i kept typing it all in my phone ><
SIX THINGS THAT GUYS SHOULD BE DOING (NOT THE GIRLS)
1. WAITING
you do not, in any way, make the girl wait for you xD
haha, claire gracia and i sat around at orchard mrt for about 20 minutes waiting for the guys to come from bishan. and this is where we started saying that girls should not be waiting for guys! haha. so much for the spirit of punctuality xD
2. LEADING THE WAY
haha okay granted that orchard's our (the girls') territory, but it still felt strange leading the way!
like the 3 of us were in front, totally leading the way, with the guys tagging behind like lost souls! haha if you think about it, its the exact opposite of what happens during the hillary challenge competition! i mean, we're so used to following and all! haha its kinda strange to be in front for once.
OH. OMG. the guys walk like gu niangs, SMALL LITTLE PETITE STEPS. SLOWLY. haha its so hard to believe that they were the same super imba people that were running around the entire challenge! i mean, when it comes to normal walking, whoever knew that they walked so super slowly!
3. LOOKING FOR A TABLE
okay, so when we got to food republic, the girls ended up looking for the table as well! haha. so gentlemanly of us right.
4. BUYING FOOD
haha, so much for the spirit of chivalry eh? the guys were like, 'okay, we'll go buy food first. *poof*' and they all promptly disappeared!
okay, i shall insert a little redeeming thing here. at least jonsee asked if we wanted to go first. there is still hope for the guys in my team. phew.
thats when we decided that the girls have totally become the guys!
i quote claire: "we should buy them a cake that says 'happy birthday sweetheart' coz we're playing the guy part." HAHAHAHA.
jonsee and francis took a little longer than usual to come back, so i thought that they might actually have had the same idea as us, (i.e to go buy bengoh a cake). and just when gracia, claire and i were setting off to look for them, they showed up with their food and no cake ><
5. EATING FIRST
haha made a bet with claire that at least one of the guys would be done eating by the time we got back with our food.
AND I WAS RIGHT HAHAHAHAHAHA.
at first we thought that jonsee might have waited for us because his bowl of noodles barely moved, but then we realised (TO OUR DISAPPOINTMENT) that he was eating. ALBEIT A LITTLE SLOWLY, but still eating xD
ah wells.
6. SURPRISE CAKE
after the girls were done eating, we went to breadtalk to buy bengoh a cake. and it happened to fit the previous joke we made about how we should get a cake that says happy birthday sweetheart, because the cake was called 'strawberry sweetheart' xD
and it was RED and PINK and heart-shaped xD
so now you see, gone are the days where the guys bought the cake. hahaha okay okay, dont stone me. i know it was bengoh's birthday and if any guy HAD actually done that, it would just be THAT LITTLE BIT GAY xD
so yes, we totally felt like the guys.
we went to lido after sitting around at food republic for abit and got really bored. no shows at lido with the right timings, so we decided to go ps.
AND WE SAT IN MY SPECIAL UNDER-THE-ESCALATOR SPOT :D
i still dont get why people say its like some refugee camp. i mean okay, so its under the escalator, but there were LIGHTS there. that clearly means that they actually want people to sit there. SEE.
sat for an hour or so talking about jc life and careers. haha. sounds pretty heavy eh.
francis was really fascinated by this guy in mister mint. kept staring. haha i really wonder if he crushes that guy xD
bengoh kept laughing at random things. including throwing claire's pink pig balloon sculpture in the air and going 'SWINE FLU'. oh gosh. i HAVE NO IDEA what so funny about that. claire and i nearly died. GRACIA THE TRAITOR ACTUALLY WENT TO LAUGH. omg lah. it was so bad i think i wanted to cry.
jonsee was being his usual blur sotong self xD
claire was making a fool out of herself xD
gracia was laughing as usual.
and the world was peaceful.

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
haha hey lava, if you're reading this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D
today was the ONLY day in my timetable (once every TWO weeks) that i didnt have to report to school at normal time because there wasnt any first block. AND GUESS WHAT. there was mother tongue O level briefing. ARGH. can cry.
ah well, at least we spent the first block celebrating lava's birthday! cutting cake and playing with cream xD (ugh i just washed the last bit of cream out of my hair and managed to get cake essence off my face. thanks lava.)
oh. and mr tee said "girls, i had so much problem writing your testimonials because you gave so little information. so i ended up reading your blogs to find out more." (or something to that effect)
OMG OMG OMG. like WHAT. i then went something like "OH CRAP" super loudly, so even if he hasnt read my blog yet, he'll probably be reading it soon. RAWR. SO MUCH EMBARRASSING STUFF UP HERE! haha. all the mushy and gay smses! and lava's (unhot) butt! ah well. if nothing else, im sure its a good laugh.
and ARGH. arthi showed me the bimbo-ness of my last blogpost. forgive me, i was under the influence of math! see little kiddos, this is what happens if you do too much math :D but yes. OKAY IM SORRY I DIDNT REALISE I COULD HAVE USED A NORMAL PENCIL. bleah.
last block of gp options today. loads of people ponned. which was really bad. mrs raja was SO NICE! she bought our class 4 boxes of pizza and loads of chocolates! and people actually ponned. seriously. think she was really disappointed. well, at least most of us went :D
AND OMG. everyone is mugging for chinese Os. im so stressed seeing everyone else mug except me ><
