tong hua!!

the best music needs not be from those who are well known. i just heard the nicest version of tong hua, sang by a blind busker and accompanied by his acoustic at the MRT station (: needless to say, many hearts were melted that evening. including mine (:

Chances are I'll see you
In my dreams tonight
You'll be smiling like the night we met
Chances are I'll hold you and I'll offer all i have..

made another trip to ritz carlton today (: to relive prom memories. HAHA. NOT. went there to take pics with lide for HC prom, and when he walked up, celine and i saw a HOTTIE with funky hair! woohoo. hahaha im serious lide you better send me sideview pics of your hair i forgot to take em just now! :p

another interesting encounter awaited shai and i after that, when we crashed olio dome for dinner just to visit waitress seok at her first day of work! haha (: omg everything was so expensive we decided to just have potatoes (in the form of wedges & fries) for dinner. shai did his fair share to irritate seok, while i just kept laughing haha oops :p

i still cant find my own job ): it feels like im not doing something productive and purposeful. an aimless wanderer who's having fun but ultimately not headed anywhere. and theres gonna be at least 8 more months till school starts again. i need to find some purpose in life!!


and she said, theres a time to forget, and the time is now...

of glitz and memories

prom night. that, which started with a big hoohaa of high-strung nerves and accentuated stress level when murphy's law enacted itself, also ended with a big hoohaa of crazy dancing and drinking at club momo.

before that, pictures which encapsulate the prim-and-properness of dinner at ritz, where food was left untouched as much as programs left unviewed.

that of the girls..





and the boys..



it was also a night of 'dingdings' and 'dingding wannabes' haha, in physical form or in memory. anyhow, it concluded with singing and walking through the streets of china town at 5am, and camping out in the hotel lounge because we didnt want to wake ms yim up at 6am, until the hotel operator called her by accident, solving all of our problems immediately.

but a truly memorable experience with a class that's unique in all ways.




and the reason is you..

sisterhood of the traveling jeans

In the dark
Moving hands to find my way
Reaching for a chance
And the words to say

And here I go
Letting go
Just to never let you go
I'm so scared to feel safe

a truly touching movie. about love, life, and loss. got me thinking about something that ive been brooding about for some time. that, perhaps im seeking that for the wrong reasons entirely. to make me forget the lows of the past, and dwell in the highs of the present/future.

maybe, that just isnt the way to go.

turn left turn right

"阴天傍晚车窗外未来有一个人在等待
向作向右向前看爱要拐几个弯才来.."


awww so cute..

i realized how much i missed strings after hearing the familiar wafts of rutter floating by my window, courtesy of my practicing neighbor and his violin. guess there has always been something magical about music, no matter how much a piece was overplayed and no matter how dreaded practices were. the beauty of music always supercedes, etched firmly as a pleasant recollection; always a part of me.

aside from the hectics of each day, like the longest exam i ever took (SATs), and the constant shopping, and friends, ive been doing some reading on my own (: got hooked on "the hobbit" after i re-discovered it, and made me rly crave for LOTR again! grr i havent even watched the last movie -.- someone lend it to me pls!! ):

still havent found my dream job yet. but ive got my dress! (: with a stroke of luck and a whole truckful of God's grace i found it just as i was about to give up haha. feels like a whole load taken off my shoulders. was gettin a lil heavy back there!

"我遇见你是最美丽的意外
总有一天我的谜底会解开.."

dinner with the guys was rather interesting. and romantic! i love bishan park haha. scratch that. i love parks! and for once, no dota talk! o.m.g so proud of em (: dinner also included free delicious tiramisu desert. lovelovelove. i wanna learn how to make tiramisu! wee~ *drools*


i wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides..

SATs words

i am credulous.

i am gullible.

i am fleeceable.

i am trusting.


so many diff words to mean the same thing. english is truly an expressive language. just that it sucks to have to be studying after As >.<

i really need to:
1) get a job. hopefully at starbucks! (:
2) buy my prom dress!!
3) get rid of SATs
4) catch up with long lost friends!! (:
5) sleep

anybody wanna hire me?? i promise to be hardworking, expeditious, zealous, gumptious, joyful and cheerful everyday! (: hehe all my SAT words rolled up in one

gonna attempt to finish studying SATs in just one day. gd luck to me. sigh.

get up

im sneezing every half a min or so. and the routine has been repeating itself for the past hours. sam said that when you sneeze, it means someone's thinking about you. so somebody out there must be thinking rly hard of me!! (: yeah right. guess im staring mr flu right in the face. again. ohno.

And I fly
I reach out my hands and touch the sky

sleepover at mel's was fun (: great time of bonding and alot more sharing among us couch potatoes. hehehe. realized we havent seen many of our classmates since prelims and through As. n its juz kinda sad knowing that there will be friends who will drift apart as JC comes to a close, and we part our own ways seeking individual dreams and ambitions. already feeling "unstudent" as iris puts it as we are now, and its a rather scary feeling for me, to be leading purposeless lives, "bumming around" for the next.. 7-8 months not knowing what's gonna come next and where we're gonna end up.

i guess it helps knowing Daddy has His plans for me. and i just gotta trust in Him to set the direction in my life. Daddy's driving this ride (:

i wanna go back to disneyland... ): it was rly awesome feels as if you step into a magical world of fantasy because of the buildings and people and parades. fireworks at sleeping beauty castle at night was so beautiful, and it was coupled with disney fairy tale music plus laser displays. pictures coming up soon! (: it was hell of an experience (:


I am moving through the crowd
Trying to find myself
Feel like a guitar that's never played
Will someone strum away?

nomad

so many things have happened in so few days. its pretty amazing.


im backk now (:

today

life! horoscopes

capricorn
"you can absolutely trust the promises made to you now, even if they arrive from far away. You will be just as adamant about keeping your own word too. Respect and responsibility are in the air"

YEA RIGHT.

horoscopes should always be taken with a pinch of salt. correction. a very large handful of salt. because sometimes, the opposite just may happen.

china black was fun. and crowded too. dancedancedance the night away.

leaving on a jet plane tmr. dont know when i'll be back again.. hah i wish. one day im gonna take a one way trip. and start all over again. with a fresh clean slate. till then, i know im gonna LOVE shopping & disney land in hongkong, and thats all im gonna care about till the end of time.

good bye good night

gdbye!!

its over. i repeat. As are over.

*YAYYYYYY!!!!*

although it definitely wasnt as dramatic as i'd imagined. for one, raj didnt burst into tears as he said he wld. and kevin didnt tear apart his uniform as he said he wld. and i didnt scream for JOY as i predicted i wld.

i blame that LOUSY e4 paper that killed part of the joy. in more ways than one. we got the weirdest paper ever, and i feel rly cheated, reading and digesting all those grotesque and gruesome explicit images of death and suffering in war for nothing. grr. now i understand wad mel means when she says she feels like shes bursting with info to tell, and no one to tell it to..

anyhow. its OVERRRR!! (:(:(:

upon which guys clambered immediately into dota outlets, while girls flocked off to begin well deserved retail therapy. (: funfunfun. i think we prolly walked more than 10 clicks todayy.. including the rounds we made after getting lost in little india because every street looked the same =p

i cant wait for xmas (:(:



i am strong when i am on your shoulders
you raise me up to more than i can be..

crossroads

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things





such a cute picture. ive entered a rly christmasy mood ever since we've bought a whole new christmas tree and taken the effort to put it together to surprise my dad on his return home. that was complete with half a dozen cute litte decorative snowmen and santes which hung off the branches of the christmas tree, just slightly out of reach of my dog's curious jaw, much to its great dismay.

i forget, many times a day, that my As have NOT ended..

harry potter, contrary to much of negative feedback ive heard, was pretty gd in my opinion. guess thats because i didnt read the book. (major oops) except dumbledore's role was more than comfortably warped to fit an agitated or excited (depending on situation) headmaster rather than a calm, wise and collected mentor. that was a big no-no, but other than that, thumbs up (:

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

selfish love versus selfless love. something that im struggling with. and God reminded me today, of how He gave so freely for us; so selflessly and unconditionally. theres much for me to learn, and i felt so humbled in His presence, for my weaknesses seem so magnified in Him, and yet i know that He'll be there to bring me through it all.

but for all that you've done. thank you (:


Lord i give You my heart
I give You my soul..
