♠ Summer Reflections ( Saturday, July 11, 2015 // 3:49 PM )


Summer's actually going to be over real soon, and that would mean the start of my year 2 uni life :o Time really flies when you're having fun I must say, and this summer has been quite a fulfilling one for me (: Helping out with camp, house and rag (art skills full on) has been quite tiring, especially last month and this coming month, plus work commitments to earn that cash for winter hols. Looking at my calendar scares me with stuff to do everyday LOL I'm the kind of person that would love a day just to nua at home, me and my dramas, me and my artwork.

But really, it has been a fulfilling experience going through camp. Not only have i learnt how to pack the day before (too many dry runs), but ive made more friends than i ever imagined in this short period of time. Maybe not close friends, but ive definitely gotten to know my batchmates better. Watching the freshmen signing up, coming and enjoying camp is really quite amazing, it makes you feel proud of what you've contributed, and hope that this is a good start to their uni life *dem feels*

On the other side, back to school and mugging next month zzz. Kind of looking forward because i enjoy what I learn, but then the mugging and intensity of the learning process is tiring. With all the mods they throw at us in our new syllabus, its going to be one hell of a ride. sigh, all I hope is that my efforts pull my grades up somehow :/

Had a short meeting with the pharm christians last last night, and I believe its a good start to get us moving and sharing, growing in Christ together in the new term (: Hopefully we can do great things, bring the freshies together and just glorify His name in anything.

♠ happy cny ( Friday, February 20, 2015 // 9:18 PM )
Happy chinese new year! (day 2) haha. I've been looking forward to this break since school started lol. It's the time of the long break+recess week, going to meet relatives, eating good food and partying with friends. It's also time where everyone posts cny ootds lol. Had a great afternoon just nua-ing and chatting with my buddies and we all agreed we found it awkward to take a legit insta-worthy ootd lol. Unless it's with someone else and more subtle. All the "angpao on the floor" poses too awkward for us HAHAHA.

Everyone going out to bainian, and my family just enjoys a quiet first day haha. Which I am totally not complaining, cause it's just nice to spend family time with them, though this few years just seem like another normal day with no school (cause dad's always home hehe) Decided to challenge a HIIT, idk if i'll survive lol.... jump rope on my working out list HAHA.

Feels like this year my insta feed is filled with more vday posts also (all em cute couples) :O vday in uni is like time-to-suck-em-monies day/week. All these different groups just going all out to fundraise. It becomes a little scary to walk around school cause when you meet people you know, paiseh to not buy stuff lol. But then again, it feels less friendship-y. Maybe that only happened in rj cause alot of us were singlets but then again, I do miss that mass "who cares about day, it's friendship appreciation day to me" feeling <3

Got a free balloon from my lovely friend, whom i conveniently forgot to ask for the name even though she didn't write a card and only found out when I complained that it burst in like 15 min to her HAHA. epic. My friends were being sneaky, paparazzi-ish cause we saw our friend with a girl, then the balloon burst and i blew their cover. *cries* sad balloon that didn't even make it to lecture D:

But then again, thankful for all the food, all these lovely people i get to spend my cny with, now back to studying for CAs T.T but first lemme go grab some cny food. #fatdieme

♠ realisations ( Thursday, February 5, 2015 // 10:20 PM )

Been on the topic of being humble the past few weeks, learning to acknowledge that pride is the greatest sin that can pull us away from Him, and also that realisation is very important. Realisation that we are all prideful beings, even if it is done unintentionally through thoughts and actions. To realise is the first step, to be humble is the next. It is never easy being humble, after all it is not to think less of ourselves but to think of ourselves less.

But to really think of each of your actions and its repercussions is terribly tiring, honestly. I've always been someone who would sometimes think too much about an action I did, even if the person affected would have forgotten already. Since I realised that, I forced myself to think less, not to be more ignorant, but to really just let go. Because really, it's all these thoughts that keep me awake at night even though I want to sleep so badly (8am classes yo).

However, recently I've been going back to that self, reflecting on my actions, my prideful ways and how I can change. I don't know if I'm not doing it the right way, but it's quite tiring after a while. I just want my mind to shut up and let me sleep D: Maybe all this is just the beginning, of me being more aware, of good change. But hey, I need my sleep so I don't KO in anat lecture lol. (need to flush my mind at night)

Another thing my friend said to me really struck me yesterday. That I need to be more careful and less blur, that if she wasn't my friend and didn't know me, she would take advantage of me and my kindness. Which is scary, says a lot about how people perceive me, and kinda says something about her, which is not bad actually, after all they say the fittest survive (as seen in the shoving and squeezing of nus buses). I kinda admire that mentality because I know that's not me, and in some ways I lose out, but at the same time, I feel like that won't be me. I volunteer to do things because I like to, because I believe that doing so will benefit everyone. Yes, sometimes I do most of the work, but hey as long as it gets the work done and everyone's happy? I'm okay. Of course I do draw the lines, but I feel like I haven't met anyone that needs me to do so recently. (which is good, yay) Needless to say, I complain when I get thrown the work and people are slacking, but most of the time I just let it pass. What for do I want to hold on to that grudge yea.

and i'm out yo.

♠ TGIF maybe not. ( Friday, January 9, 2015 // 8:40 PM )

I'm so bad at titles omy haha. But seriously, it's the last friday of my holidays before sem 2 kicks in full swing on monday. Will be dragging my feet to school at 8am and only released at 6pm. Well, not like I do not have a choice to skip all these, but since I'm in school why not sit through all the lectures. I figured I would be too lazy to sit through the webcasts anyway lol.

This mid school year break was one of the best breaks ever, though my post As break will be the unbeatable number one one the list heh. Finally a school break where you can care less about school work and just have fun and relax, after all, most of the mods will be new. Can't believe it's ending already *cries* but seriously looking forward to the next 3 months break.  Friends will be flying back, I'll be free and we can all travel wheee (rhymes eh). Till then, I'll be sitting through lectures, tutorials and labs, hopefully honing my skills as a pharmacist haha.

Shall go off to  pig/enjoy my two days left of the break and try to wake up early...

♠ it's been a long while. ( Thursday, January 8, 2015 // 8:54 PM )
 

Reading back on all my posts, I figured blogging was never really my thing. I'm not that great at writing, nor expressing myself through words I feel. Not like I'm unable to, more like I'm not as eloquent as I would like myself to be, but also at most times super lazy to buck up on that writing skill. 

It has been 2 years. *well hello 2015* Ironically, my last few posts were about how time flies and how I haven't been posting much lol. But really, time flies when you're having so much fun (: Being in uni now is great, you get to experience alot of new things: new friends, new knowledge, new activities, but it's never really the same as jc. I had a great time in jc and so did many of my close friends, that it's not weird to hear everyone reminiscent about the good ol' times, (not to mention the guys in army haha). 

Uni's different... it's more independent in a way? Even though I'm in pharm and I've got an awesome bunch of friends taking many similar mods with me, there is this small sense of growing up, being more independent on yourself to get where you want to? Not in a bad way of climbing up the social/work/school ladder and crushing people below you, but just that you're kinda on you're own. You have your own life goals, what you want to achieve from uni, and it's just not as guided as before. 

I know for sure, I'm someone who really likes my comfort zone heh. I can get sentimental about certain things I find I'm used to, and I don't embrace change that easily. BUT, since jc, I've been trying to push myself to get out there, and go experience a lot more things I never thought I would. And I must say, it has been really fulfilling (: You might feel uncomfortable at first, but I'd say it's one step closer to coming out of that shell. And it's a change, but a good one.

Haven't posted at all in 2014, but it's been a great year! Honed my gimp skills, worked at an ice-cream shop, spent time travelling, met up with friends, started uni, met new friends and kept old ones close (: So here's to more blogging and more writing in the months to come! (may this be my excuse of a decent attempt to improve my writing lolol)

♠ peanut butter ( Friday, March 16, 2012 // 12:02 AM )

Had class outing today at ecp! :D was so much fun haha, hope we get to do it again next time! i must remind myself to look out for shirlyn cause she's such a dangerous rider! lol riding in and out of the lane, we were so scared she'll knock into someone haha.

sigh i think i have been spending too little time on my hw this holiday D: must chiong econs essay and study for bio and chem lecture tests D: My brain was so stressed out from chem (always) so i went to make these peanut butter cookies for my mum's birthday! THEY'RE YUMMY OK. haha, though i wish they would have a bit more peanut-ty taste. i shall go and find out how to do so.

♠ finally! ( Sunday, March 11, 2012 // 12:07 AM )
Tumblr_m0oeuyq01n1qd4fs1o1_500_large

so school has started for quite a while and i've been trying to get into the rhythm of things i have't updated in a while >< lectures have become more of a habit, though it's hard not to feel sleepy especially if we have PE or break before it...

just had CO camp yesterday, it was so much fun! we played name bingo, captains ball, and pass the ball. after the activities, we had a bit of extra time so we played like captains ball but with 3 balls and 4 teams. so daji and diyin, being the smallest teams were put tgt and it was so funny case we were saying how we would sure win cause all the diyin people are tall and can intercept and balls haha XD and they actually did!

after bathing we went to the hp classrooms to sleep and the girls from daji and diyin plus claire spent at least an hour playing mind games and feiji. oh and we started getting a bit high later in the night around 12.30? and me zhangyue and julia were telling each other stupid lame jokes :P

woke up at 6 for breakfast and dazu started at 8.00. but i only managed to play one note before i had to leave for tuition D: i was so sad, but i have no choice cause if not i have to change it to sunday and i have ypms... so i ended up missing station games, dtw and dazu :P after tuition i rushed home, slept for 45 minutes (need to catch up!) then rushed off again for M&M. we should have checked out how to get there, instead we walked around for like 20+ minutes from queenstown station only to find out the library was nearer to commonwealth station -.- so we practically almost walked the distance of one staion... turns out we were late so they had to cancel it at first but they were nice and rescheduled it for us ^_^

so tired today, rushing around everywhere... SHALL SLEEP NOW!

Tumblr_lxdj37wjtm1qdijcmo1_400_large

so school hasn't officially started but we still have to go back for JIP :/ it's kinda boring yet fun at some times (: had FOSL today while the rest of our class went to nex for movie. horrible people haha :D It was quite fun considering that we had an awesome facilitator who let us off for early lunch, so the canteen wasn't that crowded.

After that i went for dinner with xueling, jialin and leez before going for CO prac. It was quite fun actually, Leez went to see diyinbu and played for the teacher i think :D But i feel so tired already, i wonder how i'l gonna survive like this :O

♠ White Christmas! (: ( Friday, January 6, 2012 // 11:42 PM )
Tumblr_lxdv0kplng1r9gbi8o1_500_large

I've finally found english subs for this kdrama i watched on kbsworld! >< and yup i sorta finished it in one day. hehe. i really really liked the show cause it was different from the normal k-drama love story.


so basically it's about these students trapped in their school for some reason i can't remember (cause i watched the first few episodes quite long ago) and people start dying after they saved this psychologist who was dying in the snow. Turns out this psychologist was a serial murderer. So yeah, they try to escape but he has a gun so they have to play along. He was trying to slowly turn the students into monsters so he could prove that he wasn't the only one. :O In the end, they confront him on the rooftop after he escapes (after the police saved the students from the school they thought he was their teacher and let him off or something) and say he has failed in turning them into monsters, like on of them killed himself before he would become a "monster". So they push him off and let him drop down and die making it look like he committed suicide. The scary thing is before he drops off, he says "i win" because eventually the students have become monsters by pushing him off and wanting to die.

there were some parts of the drama when i was thinking why can't they snatch the gun (cause he placed it on the table and turned around) plus he only had one uninjured arm, so it could have been easy to defeat him like that. but i guess they were scared and if they did the story would end there. D:

I had a Wii/kinect party with leez and karthigah today! :D was quite fun haha. Jingyin and Sandy were supposed to come but they had something on the last minute :/ Getting back Chinese O level results on monday >< I really don't know what to expect though... 顺其自然吧!

♠ happy new year! ( Tuesday, January 3, 2012 // 5:46 PM )

finally a new year has started! :D truthfully, i feel like i'm still living in 2011, maybe cause the "school" mode hasn't kicked in yet :P

I've been too lazy to update this blog for the last two months? haha i shall be diligent and write something today (:

so, we were invited to ms ng's solemnisation on the 31st of December (cool date), and it was AMAZING! Ms Ng was so pretty, and it was just really touching to see her get married and have someone to take care of her after all that she has done to take care for us (: And we made her a photoalbum/ourwishes thing that hopefully she'll like. One thing though, cause she held it in a hotel near the poolside, it was kindaweird cause there were little boys and girls peeping from the side :D plus someone else was having a party i think, and they were bursting balloons in the middle of the solemnisation person's "speech" which was quite bad :/ anyways, xinyu and karthigah being their usual self went to make friends with the little boys haha, turns out they were catching fish :O

after that some of us went for dinner at plaza sing, then me kar and jingyin went off to raffles city to have ben&jerry's with my voucher :D it was quite hilarious cause first we got on the wrong train (opposite side) and then when we got on the correct one, everyone was squeezing and this person in front of us was like "sh*t" while we were trying to hold our laughter XD

school is starting soon! >< wonder how orientation will feel like...

♠ holeedays! ( Sunday, November 20, 2011 // 12:32 AM )
Bexigas3_large

hmmm i realised i haven't posted anything in a while? :D anyways we finally had our class chalet on the 15th of Nov! it was AWESOME.

we had potluck barbeque for dinner and it was quite funny cause we were one of the first few to start and the last few to end :P cause everyone else barbequeing aroung us had the guys to set up the fire, while we were doing it ourselves. BUT it was good okay. haha :D and rae-ann and wangxuan fahui their girl guides skills and used dried leaves and stuff to create our own campfire. so we ended up eating all the marshmellows before we ended our dinner. opps!

anyways we had lots of good food: otah, satay, chicken wing, banana and melted chocolate, sweet potato and corn. oh and hotdogs too. but those were quite salty :/ we bought too much chicken wings and kat ended up offering it to the people in the next barbeque pit. and they were really nice to accept it and even came to show us a magic trick. which was quite cool even though the person's hands were trembling ;D

after that we had a mario kart race which was really fun and then we played cards and went to sleep. me, kar, kat, sandra, leez ended up in the living room, and jingyin (who got pushed to the wall by jerm) came over in the middle. It was much more cooling that the bedroom really :D so karthigah was sleep talking (and even conversed with sandra who thought kar was awake) and clearing her throat at night, which was quite hilarious. But, at lease she woke us up at 6 sharp and we had a nice breakfast before going back to play more games haha.

then we woke up the rest of the people and after lunch we went WWW. It was really fun, but sadly it rained halfway. :/ so we ended early and bathed before we went for dinner then bowling (which i was horrible at, and i was aching the next day)

so today, me rei jiemei hsin pei and some other rg people went for rjco interaction, which was quite enjoyable in a way. (: we got to see our J1 seniors and i got to play the timpani which imo was really bad. But it was a good experience teehee :D

shall sleep now. have to wake up early tomorrow :/

♠ happiness ( Saturday, November 5, 2011 // 1:08 PM )
Tumblr_ltyhy3b9xe1qbrkcao1_500_large
People universally tend to think that happiness is a stroke of luck, something that will maybe descend upon you like fine weather if you are fortunate enough. But that’s not how happiness works. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it…

EAT, PRAY, LOVE

♠ it's finally goodbye ( Friday, November 4, 2011 // 4:33 PM )
Tumblr_ltxnzj8qqp1qep56go1_500_large

i've never thought about leaving rgs in these 4 years actually, until today. The sadness wasn't apparent in the beginning, but as Mrs Hoo made her speech and almost cried, it really made us realise what a journey we've been through and that as raff11es we have made memories in rgs that will last us forever.

i'm really proud of what raff11es has accomplished, our flash mob was quite successful haha. Being able to pull everyone together to do something special for our batch, our school, it felt like we were ever closer as a batch than before. And it was great <3

I guess the rest of the batches can never really feel the same way as we do during this last official day of our school, just like i didn't in my past 3 years. But i feel grateful for them, because they're the ones who've supported us in each and everyway be it in CCA or just random programmes and activities.

I didn't really want to leave school today, but everyone else was leaving as well. D: As our graduation song continues to linger in my head, i shall and end here (for i have more feelings that cannot be put into words. really) quoting Laura:
5 minutes, 4 years, 3 batch projects, 2 weeks, 1 batch11.

Tumblr_ltijyb7iqq1qe49wpo1_500_large

time flies whether you're having fun or not :/ we had our grad ceremony rehearsal today. it felt weird going through all of it and thinking about leaving this wonderful place you've spent 4 years growing, laughing and learning in.

anyway chinese Os are coming up really fast! I feel sian doing practice after practice and want to get over with it but then again i'm not that ready yet. i shall 顺其自然 haha :D better go back to doing my 公函 or else i won't be in the mood to finish it once i stop hehe.

♠ this funny feeling ( Thursday, October 20, 2011 // 9:48 PM )
Tumblr_ltd90spz8l1r4106ao1_500_large

i don't know why i'm so tired these few days :/ options is really draining out my energy, plus chinese Os which i don't want to think about at this moment. i'm getting irritated with my mouse now haha :D it keeps dying and running out of battery.

Got our class shirts yesterday! I'm so happy they turned out pretty and nicer than i expected. but jingyin said something about the colour running so i shall keep my hopes too high until it comes from washing (:

ms ng showed us the video of the 3-year old girl that got hit in china and it was really heartwrenching and irritable at the same time, especially about the part where the father said the driver called to ask for his bank account so he could give him money rather than turn himself in to the police. It was really selfish of him to think of himself and not of the pain of girl and her family, and even thinking that money will solve anything. :O on the same day mrs moh showed it to us during geog options and she started talking to us about how we must do something so that our society will not become like that. Aww, i shall miss Mrs Moh and her insightful lessons and teachings after we graduate.

i've been meeting rei for prac almost everyday for the past week but didn't on wed and thurs cause of class stuff. But monday was really fun, especially since dom and sylvia came to join us after their post EYA activities. Can't believe CO farewell is on the 3rd of Nov D: that's really fast, (plus we haven't done what we've planned :O)

on a side note, snsd released their new album! :D haha i spotted meixian spazzing on twitter. lol

hope we do well during net carn! (and urm win hehe)

♠ i wish there was more time ( Tuesday, September 27, 2011 // 9:22 PM )

the picture up there was from chibird.tumblr (: her drawings are really really cute! so much has been happening this week even though it just started :o i just had KI options today and me and claudia were like " what are we doing here?!" it was like the philo lesson we never missed. sadly we have to sit through it until late october and then comes the placement test which takes up 50% of our options grades :/

we met up with ms ong today to discuss about imba and she suggesting for us to continue imba in rj which was quite a good idea considering we wanted to "upgrade" our knowledge, we might as well put it to use. then she was saying we could do skits (with the sec 2 sl groups acting. hehe) hopefully we can do more and really reach out to more people soon :D

♠ more and more ( Monday, September 26, 2011 // 9:28 PM )
Tumblr_lqy2qysavh1qb4hv5o1_400_large

exams are finally over! well, not for math and chinese though. :/ can't believe we're having a chinese prelim on this saturday! gah 4 hours of chinese in the morning is not good for the body haha :D i feel like alot of things have ended but there's still much more waiting for me to accomplish, like there's not actual rest until schools officially over. there was yearbook photo and now there's class video and informal photo. luckily we have sandra, xinyu and jerm who 自告奋勇to do the video, haha or it'll be horrible :D

i have decided to read more books to improve my english (: i can't wait to read the second book of the girl with the dragon tattoo and maybe even perfume. though it was quite a scary story, it has quite an interesting plot which hopefully doesn't freak me out all over again. i guess i won't be reading that book at night haha :D

shall go back to my chinese paper. D:

♠ short breaks ( Monday, August 29, 2011 // 10:55 PM )
Tumblr_lqp1x4a5el1qlrd1fo1_500_large
finally a short holiday before we really "chiong" for our exams (: managed to go and watch cheryl and mr boo perform at black box. It was really cool and an eye-opener! It was fun too, especially since it was a daji outing at the same time! There was this little boy sitting next to feng and me and he was so cute! XD haha we was imitating their drumming movements and he even ran up during the audience participation perf and was playing on the xiaogu.

We should have another outing together soon, it was really really fun, but we'll have to wait until eyas are over. and i hope we get to have a daji concert, which will be really fun, cause i won't get to play with the sec ones after this year D:

went for learning lab today and we listened to this video about morality by some harvard professor. which was quite interesting, but the part about cannibalism just freaked me out. Especially when we saw the trailer for this movie "alive" which is based on a real life story. actually, the scary part was the trailer, cause it showed the plane tear into half and people flying out. i was freaked out. :O shall remind myself not to think about it anymore. gah

can't believe we had our last physics lesson, so fast! and soon we'll be having our last bio, chem and all other lessons. D:
