HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST
GANNY-WANNY,
ULTRA PRETTY,
MAKES ME DIZZY,
ERINA TAN.

Yes, though I miss you a lot :) I hope you are having an awesome time celebrating your special day with your best buds in NJC. Hugs! Wishing you more seasons of ANTM paroxysm :D
AND yesterday was awesomely fulfilling. After an early morning sharing session conducted by Cleo, I felt that I had a better understanding of what being a leader was like, why it's so important to develop personally, and making an impact - having the courage to start things and follow through with them. I didn't formulate all these things in time though, so when she asked if anyone wanted to share I politely declined in my head ): Oh well. Then before discussing with the logs and food comm about Sec 4 farewell stuff, I made an important decision. Well, kind of two. And it taught me that when it all comes down to that point, just do it. Just make that decision after hours of thought and consideration and don't drag it out, and don't look back. It helps.
So after lunch at Macs discussing about the degree of salt speckled atop the fries with Carolyn, Sharon and Amandape, we went back for Friday Fever. St. Nicks has lotsa talent kay! If only Jolyne was there -cough- someone starred in the first item, singing love story by taylor swift. Kay don't really adore princess of imaginary fairytale land but their duet was rather sweet. The blue badge choir ensemble's arrangement was really original and superb :D and three cheers for Yvette and Swee En! (Don't worry 'bout cheer k. They don't deserve dancers like you and they know it.) I'll eat you up... haha. And Group 11 was so greaaaaaaaaaaat :D three guitars strumming in harmony, soulful singing and - best - Kris Allen infused style :) Yay. so glad that they got third place, and the choir ensemble got 1st - who said farewells don't come with ups as well. Like free chips (Amandahuangkimli: WHERE?! WHERE?!!!!! -rockets out of seat and prances on chair wildly gesticulating) yah.
Oh yeah congrats Martha, Sharon, Yvette for getting on HC Invitationals team! You guys have my undying support kay. Heck what people say about politics. Absolutely, Swee En and I will help you guys through if you need us :)
And I decided to go to Tampines One, told Martha I'd see her there :D But before that Mother went to fetch Ah Gong, and we went to this camera shop he frequents :) my grandpa likes tech stuff. He once bought a thousand dollar laptop and couldn't find the start button. but anyway he is the nicest grandpa on earth. He got me Erin/Eris, haven't decided which to name him/her or decided his/her gender yet :D He/she's a Canon G10 and is really pretty/handsome :D It's like the moment when you see someone/thing and you know - that's the one I want to be with for the rest of my life! I really love you and hope to take beautiful shots with you! Forgive my current n00bness kay.

And after this happy occasion,
I made my way to Tampines 1 and I saw Uniqlo! OH JOY. It's seriously the nicest shop in Singapore right now. Not only are there tons and tons of basics and jeans and parkas and such, the fabric is so soft and the colours are bright and happy :D and I just went mad there haha. We spent a reaaaaaaaaaaally long time there. & then dinner at this Japanese village place. Happy ramen, katsu don and fruitcake dessert. Looked around. Got a kitsch blue rose hairtie that REALLY reminds me of Kenley Collins. Then home. I apologise for the stilted language, I am being bugged constantly to go. Okay anyway, the walls are going to be painted different colours. I. Like. New. Perspectives.
And I'm quite sad cause I cut my hair this morning and UNINFORMED, i have turned into an ah lian by outer appearance. This is terrible.
I am going to go through SOTA performance, CAP and UK with this hairstyle. Oh goodness.
Kay bye :)

GOTCHA!
Y CONGRATULATIONS LEESHUQING (JERICHO) FOR BEING ELDDS PRESIDENT 2009/2010 :D Y
I have really always believed in you since Secondary 1, when we first joined LD! Remember how we were all so freaking scared for the auditions and kept going: omg omg how if I don't get in the queue for the auditions is so long am I really better than all of them can I get in?? It's such a privilege how if I don't get in! but we made it through together, Green Badge 2007. And it was a year where we all got to know each other better :) We always complained about debate remember, and vowed we would all go to drama together.Haha. How wrong that hypothesis was, if we could see into the future, right now :D But in Sec 2 when I went to debate and you went to drama and even Sec 3 when LD officially split, I have always felt a connection to ELDDS! though debate no longer belongs to it. And I will always support you as a friend and ex-LDian :D be confident in yourself, I have always heard you rant about injustices in LD and to the sec 3s and I KNOW you can make a difference. (L), you're unbelievable.
CONGRATS TO JOLYNE TAN LI MIN (cannot always be confused with the other Jolyne haha.) for getting into LD comm :) Hillary, Tricia (hoping this big CAPS of your name will not boost your ego further ;D), and the rest of LD Comm 2009/2010. Believe in yourselves! (L)
So the term has officially ended, heck care about the word officially, I'm still returning to school tomorrow :D But I'm really happy I survived the first ever, ardous 3 TESTS IN A SINGLE DAY day, and week. And the rest of this hectic term. I didn't do as well as Term 1 but I'm becoming more independent and relying on myself in terms of academics so. Deproving is all my fault ! Hahaha just kidding. Must really thank God for still sustaining.
Sorry this structure is so looking like Shu Qing's blog post, but yes I do remember more important facts by reading her post :D
WE WILL BE GOING TO UK THE UK TRIP IS BACK ON DUKY IS BACK ON JAI HO!
7 June - 17 June. Pure. Magic.
Don't get'chyer knickers in a twist.
But it will be amazing. Means, I need to pray for this shopping 'curse' to be lifted! Yay hope to shop with Dramaddicts, if there's possibly time at all. I mean. CAP homework. CAP itself! Holiday homework. 11 pieces. + T3 Ting Xie. Aha wait. Stop. Pause. Freeze. Cleanse. Wipe all thoughts about homework and stress and studies from your cranium. Yeeeeeeeeeeessss. That's the way. As I was saying. God, please keep Singapore safe from the H1N1 virus. It has infiltrated SG but it would in time to come anyway, so now just happens to be the time. Also, keep all of us drama students and the teachers, Mr A Wong and Mrs W Ng safe! And the Ridings High kids. From all sicknesses. Touch wood. We're going to have a great time, if circumstances and mercy allow :D
Much Ado About Nothing by the Singapore Repertory Theatre was excellent :) though I did critique on the stagehands being a constant distraction and the use of the elaborate fountain and pool not being fully maximised and was drowsy for the last 15 minutes but that's completely my fault :) The acting was great and the humour was fun and witty. The few namely 'stars' there did live up to their expectations, and made the night a most enjoyable one. Recommend you guys, anyone, to watch. Still playing @ Fort Canning Park! Oh, do bring tatami mats and a picnic basket amply stocked.
Sec 4s. I know that other CCAs had their farewell today and we didn't have one! or at least I wasn't present if you guys did have a short little informal one. But what I want to say is I don't think I could ever say goodbye to you guys. We have known you'all... officially since 2008. And we've grown together. Faced so many difficulties together. Cried and screamed at each other and ended up hugging and sharing quotes with each other. Praying, especially with Claire, always beloved, at the helm, for the demise and 'kick their butts, woe the day they met SN debate' of every school during competitions. Baking. Planning to go to Escape Theme Park. I tell you, there is NO-THING we have not done together. One is blessed to have walked through such a journey with the most respected, admired yet friendly...people. One is unsure whether to call you a senior, role model or friend. The lines are often blurred. And this page with you has ended, and we will begin a new chapter; but it doesn't mean we'll never flip the pages and have a good laugh at our past memories; doesn't mean you guys will ever stop influencing our style of writing and
doesn't mean you guys didn't make the biggest, brightest mark on our lives, in debate, and as people.
Cause you did.
And "To be, or not to be: that is the question" - William Shakespeare's Hamlet , Act 3 Scene 1, Hamlet's soliloquy
Cliche as it may sound, there has come a time that requires me to face these questions. And what will be my answer? It is requested quickly. Too quickly, for my taste. But Que Sera Sera, whatever will be, will be. And when I made my decision, I pray that it will be one with no regrets, with confidence, with assurance, with commitment, and I really really really want to make the best of it, not let people down, not let myself down. It's going to be a challenge. Heck, everything in life is going to be a challenge from now on. It's just how we conquer them. With our mind and with our heart.

THANKS, SUPREMELY THANK THE STARS AND STRIPES FOR KARYN
Okay not really my intention to perk MOE to alert mode for not infusing proper SS Morals but whatever.

"if you should ever lose your way, of all things do not lose hope, and you shall never be lost"

9:59 PM



You're miles away
You just can't relate
Are you what surrounds you

You feel alive
At least you think that life is something in you
What do we know

There's a southern bound train tomorrow
Takes us out of this dirty town
Chase the sun back to the west coast
In eight hours we're California bound
We're California bound

They can't sympathise, so don't expect sympathy.
They don't care, so don't expect concern.
And lastly, they are unable to understand, so don't expect understanding.

I couldn't care less about the future
Some girl penning a suicide note
Or sulking by the road
These efforts are
Futile.

In a world where there is kindness, compassion and love
You say it exists, but
Just like the Baudelaires' tale
Perhaps the sunrise will never come
Or only after a
Series of Unfortunate Events.

UK trip's cancelled.

You hold your head up to the sky
You say what kind of blue are you, Are you
Then you ride your pony round and round
It’s diggin’ a hole, right through,
Right through


C A M P was okay, alright, alright, oh yes!
I won't miss the bathing and the heat and the lack of sleep but
I will miss the bonding, the rock climbing, the cheers and the cheery.

S C H O O L on the third day though.
We went back! Talked to claudia for the first time. She's really into DBSK, Jae Joong, Rain and her look-a-like-friend :D She's nice! and yvette had to go tell her she looks scary haha.
Odd conversations. Library all to ourselves

V I R T U A L debate - mounting anticipation, uneasiness on my part.
"You guys are for the motion, right?"
"For?"
And leadership took hold
Ali you're the best at dire situations!
And Way you're the best supporter.
And EVERY SINGLE debater was calm cool and collected.
20 minutes prep
We made it, but we didn't make the win
But its alright, its a new experience :)
And the sms from Mackie was amazingly touching haha. Lighten up up up

T A L K
things are complicated
things were exchanged
things were broken
things were put back together
things are going to be
better
just remember, despite all things, despite everything
anyone could throw at us
SN debate is built to last.
(L), guys

F A R E W E L L

ironic emoticon but
let's have an awesome time everywun.
