Went for my first morning run today, and the after-rain air smelt great. Reminds me of the dawn at last year's LTC, when I woke up from a real short sleep at the playgrounds of West Coast to find my arms and face wet with morning dew. And it had smelt sweet, almost beautiful.

Well I hope that I get to go running and swimming more often! Given my tendency to procrastinate =X

Halfway through my revision today I received a short, but very meaningful message from a friend. To me it meant something, cos it sparked a newfound motivation for me to carry on with the next few months. Cos more often than not, I find myself losing hold of what little hopes and inspiration I have from friends and family, and usually it takes more than anything else in the world for me to actually find a new firm resolve to carry on.

So I am secretly grateful for someone, with something special, to come along and be firm with me, to actually remind me that I need to persevere for the next few months.

Been talking to Cun Zheng recently, and he is one such person who never fails to amaze me with ideas and alternative viewpoints. In life, in leadership, in local politics as well. I dont quite agree with him all the time though. But he always, always encourages me to be a better person, everyday. While I have yet to feel any different or anything, I think I will bear his words in mind.

Cos at the end of the day, at the end of everything I do, I want it to happen for me. I am greedy in tht sense, but really, it is all I can do to tell myself that whatever I do now, it should leave me with no regrets in future (: God bless me.

Watching The Tigger Movie again kind of makes you feel happy. Wheeee. So I'm currently playing the song How To Be A Tigger as I'm revising org chemistry. Its making me jiggle and hum along as I'm doing the mechanisms, so high. And surprisingly I can remember them correctly now! Yay (:

Anyway the song kind of serves as a good reflection to me, cos it sets me thinking, so I really like it.

If I can complain about anything, it has to be, that time is simply slipping away from my hands too quickly! I cant seem to get enough of my day. Carpe diem, thats what I want. But I'm not exactly achieving it. Sigh. Time management has always, always been a problem of mine. Pulls hair.

And my time's up, off to revision. Bye world.

Its amusing to know that I seldom get to chat with girls on MSN; it's usually the guys. I am no social butterfly, but I guess there are indeed times when I can relate with guys a little more than I do with my female friends. And ironically, its the same for me too; perhaps cos guys dont bitch and judge you as much as girls do? I dont know, maybe. Raises eyebrow* Though I do know of guys who can gossip like girls, if not even more so.

GSS is officially here; and I really really really want to watch Indiana Jones and Sex and The City. Though I dont know the ratings for STC yet. Ahh.
Then there's LTC coming and I think I ought to be doing something about my nose-diving stamina etc, y'know, by keeping fit. The procrastinator in me says nooooooo. Oh dear.
And then there's the Midyrs. How in the whole world am I supposed to find time to do all these!

One thing I learnt about myself today: I'm easily forgetful. One moment I'm talking to Jonathan Lau and the next I've forgotten what I just said. Terrlble me.

One thing I want to achieve: To take the leap of confidence and do more as a facilitator.

GP's over (: Kept blowing my noisy nose into the tissue paper; it's terrible to be unwell. Reading random articles of TIMES and The Economist does help after all! Gooood. At least I feel myself settling down into the studying mood already, so I guess it isnt so bad. I shant sweat the pressure.

Anyway I may have never said this before but I really ought to be grateful to my sisters. Mom and Dad too of course. For tolerating my tempers or occasional grudges etc etc. And for always, always supporting me in everything I do. I mean, who'd be so nice to truly root you on in anything you do? ( Except in doing bad stuffs of course, but that's besides the matter ) So they're your friends and family!

Just this morning I discovered a bar of Cadbury milk choc on my table; attached to it was a note that said " For you to eat (: Dad ". I swear my heart melted. He's not my Dad for nothing! Haha. My sisters had other goodies, but it doesnt matter. Nice. Its a pity I cant eat it yet; still nursing a sore throat.

See? It's called thoughtfulness. Grins. And I'm secretly thankful for Dad, for making my day.

The holidays are here, but obviously it isnt going to be that fantastic, as usual. Ms Seah recommended my class a set of regime to follow during the mugging period, maybe I'll try that out and see if it works.


Been asking around and I felt the tensed worries that some have about not receiving their uni application replies yet. This year's been a tough fight, and I cant imagine if I'd taken my exams last year; I'll probably be fretting now. Scary. But in any case I hope they get their desired courses in the uni.

Fate is cruel; love and life are two complicated entities. It's stupid and blind sometimes; more often than not, it trips you and makes you fall flat on your face. Then you learn to cry a little and console yourself that its okay, it's perfectly okay. And maybe you'll learn to be careful the next time.

Maybe. But it's leaving my heart a little jaded already.

I know I'm a little slow cos some of them have already blogged about the 31st council's invest. I cant seem to say much cos I wasnt present for the ceremony itself, and the only few 31st that I know.. well, I wished them the luck I could wish, while I couldnt help feeling a little helpless cos I didnt know what else to say. Like what Lester says, its a "been there done that" kind of feeling thats sunk in my mind. Nonetheless, I agree with Yvonne that the 31st council looks promising, and I shall wait till LTC to witness their worth.

Meanwhile the 30th are feeling emo; I've seen them around in school today looking so listless and zoned out. Just like 29th when we stepped down last year.

To conclude, it's true that council is for life.

Digressing, I'm currently reading Life Swap by Jane Green, and I secretly also wish to swap my life with some willing party just so I can get a feel of, perhaps, the greener side of the pasture. Imagine, living the life of the rich, indulging in lavish wants, being financially liberal, being pretty without trying hard to (laughs), so on and so forth. Indeed its a pretty picture. Cos it doesnt hurt to dream sometimes!

But I cant just throw everything that I have now and run away like that can I? Nah I doubt so. Dreams, dreams.


So many things, so little time.

A kitten followed me home today! It was so small, with soft ginger-orange fur. I didnt even notice it was just behind me until I felt it brush my ankle. Ahh. Didnt bring it home though; Mom would have killed me. It's a pity I didnt take a photo of it, or give it anything much to eat.

Listening to Ne-yo's Go On Girl.

And I'm craving for a cup of bubble tea with lots and lots of pearls to chew on! Itchy mouth (: And I'm dying to catch a good movie sometime soon too.

Happiness is when you're doing something you like when you're with people you love (: Being out to Sentosa with the 29th for our 2nd birthday left me feeling this way. Slightly sunburnt now, and its leaving my face red and flushed. It tingles too! Ooh I hope it doesnt peel.

31st council's investiture tomorrow; its a pity I wont be able to go. Ahh. Feels a little old already. Laughs*

Midyrs are coming, but I cant seem to feel the study momentum yet; oh no. I promised Ms Chiew to hit my goals. I'm sooooo gonna need to jog that rusty brain before I lose myself while slacking away! Heh.

Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

I felt so stupid when I actually knew the truth; it was like blowing a bubble gum and then letting it burst, like a slap across my cheeks to jolt me awake from fantasy. It really, really hurt, and it's left me jaded. I wonder how I'll feel when I still see them around. All I know now, is that things will get better. I hope (:

Feels good to be heard, and understood, without being judged. Thank you.

The last time I freaked out
I just kept looking down
I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking about
Felt like I couldn't breathe
You asked what's wrong with me
My best friend Leslie said "Oh she's just being Miley"
The next time we hang out
I will redeem myself
My heart it can't rest till then
I can't wait to see you again

This song is ringing in my head. Catchy catchy. I'm quite amused by the funny songs I listen to.

Was in the (school) library today. Out of randomness, I stopped in front of a shelf of books, and pulled the first book I set my eyes on. And it turned out to be Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. It figures.

I sort of figured some things out after reading some pages of it. I was wrong to be impatient after all. Siily me. Maybe one day I'll wake up and realise that I shouldnt be hankering for more. Cos some things cannot be forced. Hell, why didnt I see this coming until now?
Ahh.

"Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets."



Our volleyball guys team made it into the finals, it's tomorrow at the Toa Payoh Sports Hall against TJ. And the girls are playing for 3rd and 4th positons. J2s are going down to support them. I'm so looking forward to it (:

And he says

Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again.


There's so many things I wanna do, now. Before it all goes away, and it's too late.




Saturday, May 10, 2008, 12:57 PM

I must be mad enough to reject shopping and movie trips. But hell, I feel like I need some time on my own today.

Slept real late last night, after a very filling Mother's Day dinner with the big family of relatives. Not bad, I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of fun and laughter with them. And I realise how the kids have all grown up; almost young adults now. Time really flies. Some are as tall as me now, if not even taller. Well well.

Tossed and turned all night, couldnt sleep. Its amazing to be able to feel how the silence in the night can overwhelm your bare senses so much, a little sound pricks your alertness, a little breeze makes you feel more alive than ever; it makes you feel like you're all alone in this huge universe and makes you want to embrace everything you hold dear to your heart. It makes you think.

These days, I feel almost nothing. Just a sense of emptiness. And for some reason, I think I need some time to be with myself again. So for now, I'm most willing to seek some shelter within. Maybe things will sort themselves out, just maybe.

Even the weather is telling me to just sleep in and kick around and do nothing today. Maybe it's right.

My throat's feeling itchy and dry. Croaks. Must be the spicy zut-zuts and fried foods at ChompChomp last night, and not drinking enough sugar cane to soothe the heatiness in time. But I've been drowning my stomach with so much water now, its really bloaty. Round tummy. LOL. Lets hope the soreness goes away soon.

Complex numbers are NOT going to get the better of me, I'll make sure of that.
Z = e^i ti-ter
Go figure.

Had a very filling dinner, and it is still sitting around in my bloated tummy. Fish n chips, chin-chow, plus the mango pudding. I want to burp it all away. BURPS. FARTS. BURPS. Its still there! *Laughs. But it isnt a very nice feeling. Shoo, go away.

Still listening to 'Teardrops on my guitar'.
Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he wont see...

Please grant me patience. Cos I dont how I can keep it in any longer. He raises my hopes so high, but I pray that he wont let them all fall to pieces. Please dont make me the fool again. No.




Friday, May 2, 2008, 8:27 PM

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
