Today, i escaped the horror that is mass PE with the excuse of tendonitis and an MC. Again. Heh. I didn't have to walk around the track or run outside school just by saying these magic words, "but the doctor said...". Haha i'm such a slob.

Oh, i didn't swim either. I just sat by the pool and did my homework like the good student that i am. Every once in a while, i'd look up to see how the swimmers were doing and feel bad about not being in the pool myself, suffering with them. But most of the time, i was just glad it wasn't me dying there in the pool. 

I like being home early on a school day, especially when nothing's due the tomorrow. It makes me believe that i can cope with everything life is throwing at me, that i might actually make it through this school year. School, this year, has been a whirlwind of stuff to do, stuff to go to and just.. things.   

I miss how we used to take things so much slower, how things weren't taken so seriously as they are now. I miss the days in SJC where we used to sit at the bus stop, missing bus after bus after bus just to chat about everything under the sun and nothing at all. I want to go back to having so little to worry about, taking each day as it came and not planning for the future because we thought the future was eons away, we thought we'd never get there. 

I miss the SR days, where did everything we wanted to without having to think about what would happen to us. We never studied then, never felt the need to. I miss how we'd hang out after school everyday, going home and coming to mine at the oddest hours of the night/morning just because we wanted to. The easy friendships that were forged, the way we were so comfortable with each other.

I miss the first year in CJ, where everyone took things so much more lightly. Well, i did anyway. I miss going out almost everyday, hanging around after lessons doing nothing. I don't do that anymore, i just go home now, or for training. 

Well, i guess that chapter of my life's over. Honestly, right now, like that chapter of my life, i wish this one were over too.

It's my heart you're stealing; you take; you're dealing with; you'll break
It's my heart you're taking; you're breaking bit by bit; you're dealing with

Mum's on her way to Australia now. It feels odd not having her around. I prefer it when she isn't away.

Anyway, here's a video i've been watching/listening on repeat for a really really long time. 

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

From me to everyone,

I HOPE YOU GET LOTS AND LOTS OF ANG BAOS!

Anyway, i went over to one of my aunt's place last night to go have some family dinner. I got bored so this happened:

You have no idea how good i feel after not having to study, or worrying about not studying, for one whole day. 

So today started off pretty well. Went for mass with Melvin and Mark and got ourselves two Goldens each(Note, today's oranges were not oranges even though they're known as oranges and are orange in colour. They were Goldens). Anyway, after the mass where Melvin kept insisting the Goldens were spray painted that colour, we watched the CNY concert in the PAC (haha PAC *wink wink*). The concert wasn't the most awesome thing, but it had it's funny moments and i'd say it was good enough. Oh yessss, we learnt something from the skit put up by the drama people. We learnt that rolling oranges/goldens into a room symbolized wealth rolling in, SO we rolled our Goldens into our homeroom. T04, WE'RE GOING TO BE RICH THIS YEAR! 

Right after that, we went down to the canteen, to out designated seats. I tell you, the table we got was so isolated from the rest of the world! We were like, tucked into a little corner in the canteen. But i guess it wasn't too bad. We still had fun using the other table that nobody else used, doing the louhei and yumseng thing before anybody, eating the really good food prepared and brought by the class and watching Fel dance and sing in dialect for Bro. Paul. 

After all that, i went down to Charlene's place again. Spent most of the afternoon lying on her bed, snacking on all that unhealthy stuff and watching videos. Oh, we ate chicken wings too. They were yummylicious! 

OH YES! I MET UP WITH QING AND FREDAAAA=)

It was just awesome seeing them again! Walking around like idiots, talking/bitching about people and things(haha) and basically just catching up. I don't think i've laughed so hard for a really long time. I'm glad we didn't cancel! 

See, no time to think about anything awful today. How awesome is that?!

I'm at home waiting for my parents to come pick me up for the PTM that starts at 7.45 tonight. It's 7 already and their still somewhere not very near home having dinner. I think i might be late. Doesn't matter, really. They can't do anything to me because i'll be with my mum. Heh.

About 15 minutes ago, i realised i got ready to leave home a little too early. So to kill time, i called Denise into my room and this is what we did. 

Oh, just in case you don't know how old she is, i'll tell you. She's 13. 

So anyway, dad picked me up after school today to go see the doctor to get me shoulder checked. Turns out, i got my first sports injury! I pulled/strained a tendon in my shoulder. In my opinion, it's pretty cool. Not just because i get to miss training for a week, but because i actually got injured while doing something athletic.

ALRIGHT. Parents are here and so off i go!

Monday

has been a tiring but rather fulfilling day. 

I'm happy with myself for not giving up and really thankful for the people who refused to let me give up=)

So, the much-anticipated Friday is finally here. Awesome! I'm going to spend my whole weekend doing things that are absolutely NOT school-related. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate school, it's just that i like things that have nothing to do with school more, at this point of time. 

I'm aware that i haven't been mingling with the class much, these past few days. It's not because i don't enjoy the company(i do enjoy it), but it's just that i can't get myself to join in. I hope it's only because i'm tired and nothing else. I hope it's not because i've drifted from anyone, i hope it's not because i just don't want to. 

Somehow, it's a different matter with i'm with the swimmers. I don't feel like not joining in when we're in the same room or sitting at the same table. Maybe it's because it's a smaller group so there isn't much choice, maybe it's just the people.Hopefully, i'll figure myself out soon. But in the meantime, i'll do my best to not be a spoilsport. 

Oh, i have to blog about this. On wednesday, the class did the sweetest thing for me (and Melvin). They surprised us with a birthday cake and a present each! I got a float, or as Heidi calls it, Floatation Device, which i used after training. Oh, before throwing it into the pool and myself after it, the guys were being disgusting, making sick comments as i blew up the float. The photos of me and Cola playing with the thing aren't with me. 

Anyway, thanks T4, for all that=) 

TODAY. Xiu Wen popped by CJ! It was really nice seeing her again after such a long time. I'm glad she came down=) 

Shucks.

I don't like this but i'm going to pull through. 

Just a short little post before i dive head-first into that pile of homework that i have yet to do. 

You know, i planned to start this year off well. Like, get all my homework done before January, or at least before term started, but no, didn't happen. I'm rushing through it now, just a few more hours before school starts. 

Oh well.

I've got a good mind to switch back to livejournal. Not because blogger has failed me in any way, but just because the people i've been spending time with are using it and somehow they seem to be having more fun using that than i am using blogger. If i eventually give in, blame it on peer pressure.

This afternoon i went over to Charlene's place again with the intention of collecting my stuff and then going straight home but my plans got mixed up when we decided to go for lunch together. In a way, i'm glad i didn't go straight home. As always, i had an awesome time just hanging with her at her place talking about everything and nothing. Oh, i learnt how to crochet a little. I'm not good at it, in fact i'm far from good, but it's better than not knowing how to at all. 

Another night at Charlene's

I just can't get enough of Charlene. That's why i'm staying over at her place again! 

Well, that's what i'm going to tell her anyway, to make her feel good. Heh.

So anyway, after gobbling up mountains of food last night while scaring ourselves silly with a few episodes of Supernatural and nearly wetting ourselves watching Whose Line Is It Anyway, we went to sleep. I'd say that was an awesome end to an awesome night!

When we woke up bright and early in the afternoon today, we cabbed straight down to the HP place near Ikea and picked up her laptop so that we'd be able to have our IKEA MEATBALLSSSSSSS! Let me tell you, the soup and meatballs were awesome! Because we ate so much, we grabbed a trolley and pushed it around the place. We pushed, we put stuff in the trolley. We pushed, we took stuff out of the trolley. And then we cabbed back to my place. 

At my place, we looked through about a million photo albums and took out a few photos. I packed more stuff for tonight and then left to buy some stuff and then went back to Charlene's and nowwww, we're doing THIS:

I'm at charlene's house nowwwwwww. Haha we've been looking at old photos and now i feel all nostalgic and stuff. The photos are so pretty that i'm never going to show them to anyone! 

I think we're going to be baking a cake in a while but we're going to cheat. We're going to use.. something special. After we go all domestic and stuff, we're going to be animals. We're going to pig out on all that food we bought. 

See, because i'm going to be busy, i have to go now. Besides, it's rude to do this while she's watching me do it even though she pretends she isn't enjoying watching me.

Two days ago, i turned 18. I remembered and so did many of you! For remembering, thank you, for sending me all those really nice birthday wishes, i thank you again=) You guys are the best!

I've been spending loads of my time hanging out with my cousins and family just playing cards, going for supper at 2am and just talking about how we all were, years ago. It's been a long time, too long a time in fact, that we've taken time off just to spend time with each other. I'm glad we were able to do this! 

You're a human bean, we're peaple.
