hey..

haha last friday was yet another superb dinner with 6H people. everytime after a session i'll get primary-school-friends-sickness as what Norine calls it. i just can't get them outta my mind and keep wanting to meet them. sighs.

yesterday was 2nd Allcomers', the very last race before Nationals. it was the last chance to gauge our standards. to all those who ran: good effort there, keep it up mans. to those who went down to watch: thanks a lot people! to those who sent their regards in a way or another: we appreciated it loads thanks!

today the lessons started. hmm i must say we're all not used to having 2 hours straight for each subject since the normal duration is 1 hour or 45 minutes. Irene was beside me during Geography and we both took turns to nap for 3 minutes. haha but we did copy some notes! English was kinda fun and Mr Faizad our long-awaited-english-teacher is back from re-service!

about 4.3opm i embarked on my journey on bus 98.. toured the whole route from Jurong East to West.. haha i love long busrides.

i saw Shuqun
i saw the bus stop where i collected notes from Kheng
i saw Elaine's place some distance away
i saw the market where SQnites loved to go
i saw the bus stop where Yukai alighted 3 days ago
i saw Song's block

i saw Mel in her Huayi uniform, Jeren in yellow house tee and XueEn in green house tee.
i saw ElaineGoh with her rebonded hair too.

wait. those 4 were in my memory-

sighs. yup that's all for today.

there're more to come (:

i hope..
but when?
i can't wait.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FANN!

haha we sang a birthday song for her after training.. enjoy girl! haha some of Fe12 girls went out for a shopping trip, heard from Peishi everyone bought something! haha that's good (:

after training i went home for a bath and met up with Norine. headed to Kheng's place to watch recordings of Aviva Open Badminton matches. superb! though i was so tired that i fell asleep halfway.. it's always like that after trainings. Kheng slept too! Norine as well. hahaha. all in all had fun at Kheng's house, slacking and joking with one another. her sister and brother are very friendly (: Norine played Neopets there and i was behind cheering like mad because she thinks the cheers helped hahaha. went home around 9pm.

today i breached a promise i made to my toddler cousin. ): before i went out, i promised to buy a little ball for him when i get back.. my sister was playful and snatched his away, so i promised to get him a new one. i meant it at that time really.

but i thought he would be going home before i return so i decided not to buy it. when i reached home, i saw him and he asked me for a ball. whoa at that time i was extremely guilty. i'm sorry i didn't mean to go back on my words.

ha who said that kids don't remember what others have promised/told them? especially when you promised to get them something that they really really want.. everyone wants everyone else to keep their promises to them, what makes kids different? if people of only about 2 years of age know the importance and significance of keeping a promise.. this puts some of the semi-adults and adults to shame..

oops sorry the above is not directed at any individual.. just some random thoughts.

yup that's about all (:

like a shadow.

there are too many things i wanna tell you but i can't put them down in the text messages.. so here am i ( hopefully you'll get to read this one day )

i know this period of time has been demoralising for you and you feel like giving up on everything.. it's inevitable to have this mindset especially when nothing is going too well for you.. this goes for everybody on earth i suppose. i understand.

you said you've lost everything and will not be able to make up for them because you have such little time left. that's precisely why you gotta make good use of whatever time you have now! nobody said it was easy but you have to try.

friend, when no one else has given up on you, you have no right to give up on yourself. even if someone does, all the more you shouldn't.

you may think that all these are just talk and no action.. afterall, it's easier said than done. but i wanna let you know that i'm trying as well, really. i've told this to other people and i'll tell you now.. sec2 i was at my peak and what followed was simply disastrous. was quite successful in most aspects of my life back then, look at what i am now. i felt the way you're feeling right now, but i know giving up isn't gonna make things better.. you told me you know this too.

so what's stopping you?

as much as i wanna achieve what i did two years ago, i hope you can find back the motivation and drive yourself on. at the end of the day, i don't want to see you break down in tears (of unhappiness and disappoinment ). i want you to tell yourself and maybe me that, you deserve a good long break.

haha okay i don't know what else to say.. there were too many things in mind and i can't recall. haha yea but that's the idea i wanna put across to you.

however, if there's anyone reading this.. and the above situation applies to you as well.. i hope it makes a teeny weeny (positive) difference.

all the way friend, i'll be with you (:

the Present..

well.. school hasn't been that fun we all know why. shan't talk about it then.

last saturday was very very well spent! they've finally come over and we can all train together.. it turned out pretty fun i guess.. with lots of laughter and funny comments. Coach was quite comical cos he appeared in his usual sunglasses and waved like a SUPERSTAR to the enormous team.

after that was BRUNCH with sec4 girls at Gombak's 'cursed' Macs. haha luckily nothing disastrous happened.. i forgot what we chatted about but i knew it was enjoyable there (: thanks girls.

after that went off to Jurong east library to meet Norine. borrowed a coupla thrillers and i hope they're good. slacked the whole afternoon away with her at foodcourt later talking about almost everything under the lights ( not sun cos not in outdoors ). the secret to being able to stay in there for about 3-4 hours? here it is :

230pm: Norine buys her claypot rice while jade got herself a cup of Sarsi float. then they both talked.

Norine: you not hungry ar?
jade: haha nah just had lunch

430pm
jade: hey what time is it?
Norine: about 430
jade: tell you something you don't angry ar
Norine: what?
jade: i'm hungry liao!!
Norine: hahahaha go buy lor!

and jade went to get her claypot rice ( note: the exact same food that Norine bought )
then Norine couldn't resist the temptation of jade's sarsi float earlier on and so she went to get Greenapple float.

haha in short, the secret is to let one person eat first.. then another person eats. so the time you spend in a foodcourt will be doubled!

haha okay this is interesting. ( i know i'm self-entertaining but hahaha )

that's about it for now (:

just wanna thank you..

some things aren't as clear as they should be..
it's our job to see through it.

so today after Amaths paper, the whole of sec4 just went crazy.. in a happy sense i mean haha.

i'm really sorry Athletes, i couldn't make it for the movie with you guys. hopefully the next time will be able to join you all.. i'm sure the movie was a great one haha and the outing was fun. (:

yea i went out with Georgina and Shaoying today.. Qihui couldn't make it due to cca outing. headed first to Harbourfront centre's Pastamania for a nice lunch before we were off to Marina Square's Kbox. caught up quite a bit with both of them because we talked a lot while eating haha.

at Kbox, we were not really as 'high' as the past few times we went. but it was another form of enjoyment whereby we just sit back and relax sometimes without singing, just watching the MVs and listening to the songs. conversed a bit here and there so the atmosphere was really nice.. i think everyone deserves a good break after the papers and as much as we all wanna enjoy, we were all tired out physically and mentally..

well, taking a break is to prepare for a longer journey ahead.. as the Chinese saying goes. indeed, we can't really shack off until after the very last paper of the year. exams aside, i've got something else to work hard for.. Track Nationals. yesterday when Joanna messaged all of us, i was even more driven to train for it..

"..only 10 more weeks to Nationals, no more slacking."

it's just a short sentence, but that powerful to me. although you won't be reading this, but thanks Jo.

it's not as though i don't know that Nationals is nearing day by day, but then the fact it's just 10 weeks from now.. we really have little time. come on RVAthletics, we'll do it.

off to sleep, take care (:

it's not about just ourselves..

and so tomorrow is the day that all the sec4s have been LIVING for..

end of Mids!! we've finally completed the torturous process.. but then again this is just a beginning haha. okay not to stress myself out but well..

today everybody was more or less bonkers after the Bio paper.. it was as though Amaths was non-existance as the post-exam mood filled us haha. all the information and memorised texts were instantly liberated from my cerebellum when i handed my answer script over to Dawn ( i think she was the one who collected ).

ask me what caused the rise of Militarism in Japan : er..

ask me how are nervous impulses transmitted in the system : i forgot..

haha anyway, all the best to everyone taking the last paper(s) (:

after celebrating the end of the examination tomorrow, i'm gonna replenish all the sleep i've lost the past two weeks..

take care (:

ask not why have i lost my memory..
but why hasn't my memory come back to me.

haha yesterday's training was fun.. i must say those juniors have a flair for jumping. long jump, high jump.. Peishi and i felt so lousy hahaha anyway good try girl (:

spent the whole day after training with Kheng to revise for Mids. that was about 7 hours. kinda hardcore.. was really drained out after that so i dozed off quite early. it's another round of pia-ing again.

was just watching this kiddy show on Channel 8. talking about lies. haha is it right to lie? what about white lies?

people tell lies to hide something from another person or people, the difference between a normal lie and a white lies in the motive behind them. yea a white lie may be for a good cause, but depriving others from the truth they have the right to know, isn't it wrong too..

so the best thing is to.. not to lie! hahahahahahahaha so you don't have to worry if lying is wrong. the thing we've been hearing it from young: Honesty is the best policy (:

okay that was quite random..

that's about all, take care (:

there's always a reason behind everything you persevere for..

hoohoo..

haha yay 10 papers down! 7 more to go.. it's gonna pass very soon.. sec4s are having our Midyears now, hey people hang in there (:

haha today had two super long papers. namely Chinese paper2 and Geography paper2. almost couldn't finish the first paper.. wrote too slow at the beginning sighs. thank goodness i could finish it just on the dot. after the papers was lunch with sec4 Athletes! it's always so fun to have them around haha. laughed a bit here and there, i guess it was a much welcomed change after the taxing papers. my writing hand and head are still aching now.

later went down to Clementi sports complex to watch a basketball match between AC and JJ.. haha haven't watched a match in a long long time ever since the badminton match i went in February.. oh yes this reminds me of a lame thing Amanda said to me..

me: haha very long never watch match already
Amanda: then you go home light up a match and look at it

??!!! hahaha though i didn't laugh out loud but i was super amused by that. good one girl!

hmm.. training tomorrow morning, go home sleep and it'll be time to cup again.

take care everyone (:

it doesn't matter what others tell you to do..
what matters is what you wanna do.
