Day before posting

Posting tomorrow I'm so nervous what if I don't get into Nanyang then how? Then how?!?!?!?!?!??

Ok anyway, whoa today was a long day. Reached school attended two lectures followed by lunch and another last hour of.... Some talk. That I mentioned in this morning's blog post. The talk about adapting to JC life etc etc. I said I'd share what I learned so here goes:











Ok after that, we had sectionals. I think we're running in circles because we keep practicing the piece but it doesn't seem to have applaudable improvements. By 5 we were tired and hungry so we went down for food. Followed by my sleeping on the chairs in the classroom. I think the hobo experience in JB macs has made me into a permanent hobo. Then we starting singing songs because I liked the acoustics at the corner of the class lmao. And my dear section mates demanded that we sing Chinese songs. Went to Compass after that to meet my parents and have dinner. And then I got home and learned how to sing The Cup Song. I know it's overdone. Grrreeeattttlllyyyy overdone. But it's really catchy. And I couldn't not try to learn it. Turns out its a lot simpler than it looks. Which is probably why it's overdone. Lol. OK.


O yeah I forgot to mention that I bought my uniform!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jamie kindly gave me three skirts that were too small for her so thankfully I don't have to buy any skirts :_) Grateful. I bought a blouse and I'm pretty sure the guy just gave me the smallest size. But his size estimation is brilliant. It fits perfectly. Not too big or small. O yes and that leaves me with 40 cents yay. I was eating Phyllis's gummy bears and mint chocolates and telling her that that's a survival skill. Maybe I should have water for recess like Rui yang.

Today

I shall survive my "last" day of school. Last day of the headstart lol. After I get home today at (probably) 8.45 I will celebrate by watching friends and if I don't manage to finish the season I will return it anyway :_( ok maybe after orientation lah. I'm blogging now cos I'm waiting for my bus hehe. Must leave home at a very exact timing in order to reach school before classes start and after everyone has reached. Or at the same time as everyone else. If not loner at the MRT very boring. But I have a book with me actually so it doesn't matter. Anyway, today we have a talk about adapting the JC life. I will share with you what I learn. If I learn anything. C u, wish me a good school day!

Better day

Lessons weren't as pointless today because we did revision during math and I realised how rusty I was at math. Lol. Gotta work harder. Econs was quite insightful today and Chem was ok.

I ate A LOT of food today. Really. A lot of rice. I think I went on a full carbo diet or something. Breakfast was a full meal of rice + etc etc (leftover dinner). Lunch was Japanese rice from the Japanese stall in school. Not that satisfying. Dinner was rice again from the western stall in food junction. Then we had Tau Huey. And when I reached home I ate Kway Chap my father bought. My blood glucose level probably increased madly. And soon all the glucose is gonna become glucagon and I will start storing this and weighing down heavily. Lol chow. So much sugar how to sleep.
I wish I didn't need to sleep. Sleeping takes up so many hours in a day.
It's already Wednesday tomorrow. Time really flies.
Watched The Impossible today. Good film.

Photo of me with my first Lao Ban in Denise's house because I really have nothing else to share lol.
Too much sugar. How to sleep.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

I am going to be honest and tell you that I wasted my time. Sadly. I wish I could say otherwise but I seriously wasted my time.
I can provide you with reasons ok.
1) They (teachers) didn't want to start on the syllabus without the rest of the cohort
2) Didn't make any new friends
Ok I guess I'll look I the brighter side to this situation....... Umm.........
Pros (of attending school today)
1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ok I really can't think of anything. I guess I wanted to say I was provided with a greater insight on the subjects but the thing is, I wasn't.

For most lectures the lecturers told us about how time management was going to be key and how we would be extremely busy especially since we are all DSAs and how we have to use our free periods effectively and how school will end much later and how our work load will kill us. Yup.

Mentally preparing us for the next two years I guess. Well wasn't that a waste of time since
1) I am pretty much mentally prepared already
2) They will repeat this during orientation

I guess they kind of wanted us to have a feel of how the school ran and not really the syllabus of each subject.
But either way, waste of time. Because everything will be repeated when school opens for all the J1s.

2 more days ahead of me.

After my last class I went to the band room and slept for the next hour or so. Woke up and killed the rest of my time before we had sectionals at 7. Left school around 8.33? And reached HP at 8.44. Ok don't regret going to NY HAHAHAHA. I LOVE THE BACK GATE. Whoa but it was really dark and scary just now. When it's all quiet and the lights are turned off.
Had my solo Kopitiam dinner before I headed home.
Did I miss anything? Ok no. Bye!

Sun Day

Probably the Sun's birthday. He was blazing hot today. Practically melting in the heat. O Singapore why your weather so temperamental. Can I be in Melbourne with Denise now??????????

Today we went out with the objective of being Dora the explorer. Ok fine, that was MY objective. I think I failed? Ok not necessarily but to a certain extent. The sun was killing me lah I really had to take shade. So our exploration was kinda just walking from my place to CK's place and navigating around the estate then exiting to Jalan Kayu and heading to Greenwich for their AIR CONDITIONING OMG. Desperately needed that really. I stood beside the Cold Storage grapes and apples and fishes and chocolate so that I would stop melting. 

Ate at Awfully Chocolate and GUESS WHO HAS GREENWICH CASH VOUCHERS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA. Anyway, whoa their ice cream was so rich. Rich. It's like eating soft chocolate actually lol. Had a double scoop + a creme brulee. Never really figured out what a creme brulee was until that one time Liz told me it's _______ (can't remember what) + sugar on the top, blowtorched so that it'd caramelize. Before that, creme brulee was just some unknown food introduced to me in High School Musical. 

Waited for the sun to relac a bit before we heading out to the private housing estates. Peeking into rich people's houses. Heeeeeheeeee suspicious. Got lost about 2 times. Jaw dropped about 2 times too. Ok 3. #1 When I saw the black (I think) Lamborghini. #2 when a red Lamborghini zoomed ahead infront of us. And #3 when I saw the Roman warriors house. That house was more like a palace than anything. So magical. 

Stoned at some park's swings to enjoy the weather which improved a lot because the evening sun wasn't as furious. I was really tired suddenly. I've been having sudden waves of sleepiness which are rudely interrupted by some random bolt of electricity so my energy level has been almost as temperamental as the weather. Not my mood. My energy level. 

Ok so school starts TOMORROW. Because I am a successful DSA applicant, I have to attend school earlier. We DSAs start on Monday while the rest only join us on Friday. Am I looking forward to school? Not really but I'm honestly not dreading it! I guess new beginning right... OK WRONG LAH SCHOOL IS SCHOOL HAHAHA. But I'm trying to be positive because it IS a new school year and I do want to start out right. 

Alright I apologise for the abrupt end to this messy post but I am very tired and I have school tomorrow!!!! Wish me luck!!!!

I still dk how to do my hair

I'm pretty lousy at short hair. First time in my life lah ok? Gave up on it so I just threw the flowers on again. Heheheheh (nervous laughter). So I recently (yesterday) discovered that if I were to apply wax/gel/anything-to-make-my-hair-manageable, I have to apply it at the roots. Not the tips. I haven't exactly been applying it at the tips. But I've never thought about it at all lol. Ok anyway, on my way to Compass point now because my mother wants to go to Compass point. I am greatly overdress because I thought we were going to Plaza Sing/IKEA. Chow fails. Anyway, I skyped with Denise for awhile just now. Great time catching up with her :_) here's a photo of my bestfriend.

P.S. brutal, but I feel like shooting this baby on the bus. Like how ed Sheeran shot me in my dream.

Friday

Today I got excused from sectionals. I left just after 7 because my parents were in Chinatown. And I wanted to join them. Perhaps a few months ago I would've said that this is a shit excuse. But today I say it's a perfect excuse. I hardly ever go out with my family and with Chinese New Year quickly approaching, I couldn't give parents+Chinatown a miss. I just couldn't. Visiting Chinatown used to be an annual practice during CNY. That was when I was younger. Now I don't even see my parents when I get home. Furthermore, I've been going down to school almost everyday of this week. I don't think anything could've stopped me from leaving just now lol. Guess you could scold me now but no regrets here, man. (Chinatown photos are in father's camera. Will share soon.)

Today we also cleared a lot of the smoke, after lunch at HP. Not really considered a change, but things are better. Questioning why I deserve this though lol. & I wish I could control time. & I wish I could know exactly how things would turn out.

Tomorrow is Saturday. It would be a week since Denise left for Melbourne. I really hope I get to Skype her tomorrow. Usually my empty weekend would just be crashing Denise's house cos I could just walk right over and heeeeello, everyone. But tomorrow is different... Miss you girlie. What exactly do you expect me to do tomorrow man, come back to Singapore soon, we never really cycled enough :_(

Thursday

I was supposed to join my band kids at Andrea's today but because of CCA bazaar rehearsal, I couldn't. Sigh. O well. I was really upset when I found out. Band kids went ahead as planned while I headed down for rehearsal at 5. Turns out the rehearsal was really quick. Couldn't decide whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. I ended at 6.20(?) when I thought I would end at 8+. Whoa. Almost went home to drown my disappointment in Friends. But instead, I went to have impromptu dinner. Two things I love- impromptu arrangements and sushi :_) Really good dinner and now I'm heading home. O while I waited around Rivervale I tried to take artsy photos but I failed. And we also saw a lot a lot of PAP and WP people. Quite cool. Like watching celebrities hehe. The tweets Straits Times are retweeting are all about Rivervale plaza etc etc some LRT around there etc, and I'm just all "HAHA I JUST SAW THAT PLACE (it's renovation never ends)". Ok anyway, here are my "try to be artsy" photos.

Jennifer's influence = panorama
Filters are Vintage and Lomoart.

Tuesday

Today was my only empty day since O's ended I think. Or one of the rare few. Empty day = no compulsory activities + no planned activities. So I just filled my day by tagging along with wanlin while she ran her errands. Then I dried out the season 7 of Friends. Gotta borrow more more more. And then I went for a walk. To kill time + collect a pair of shoes. So apparently my hair grows noticeably longer by the day. Biased view again ah😏??? I really hope things can only change for the better. Came home and walked wanlin's friend's dog after dinner.
Simple day, good day. I'm tired, good night.

Monday

blogging.

band today, day after tomorrow, day after day after tomorrow and on the last weekday. i was wrong when i said 3 days. one hand typing on the computer, havent been on for awhile.
it just started raining.
killing time at home now because i only have to be in school in the evening. then walk through the dark  pathway and head home. I wish you could listen to what I'm listening to right now. Then you'll understand why I can't really have an expression in this post.
Parting Glass-Ed Sheeran

Sent denise off last saturday. everyone asked if I cried. no I did not. but I can be honest and tell you that I miss her already.
whoa ok today is not a good day for me to move. or maybe it is but I don't want to, which makes it an even better reason to move k yeah maybe I should. silent solitude is driving me nuts alr.

someone tell me what to do. school starts next week.

Friday

Just leaving school.... Walking to the MRT station alone and to be honest, I don't like walking out alone. Because it gets so quiet along the pathway. Quiet. Ok lah depends on my mood. With a mood like this, silence kinda sucks. Silence makes me think. Last Friday today. I know I'm overthinking it lah cos she's seriously just coming back in May, which would be pretty fast. Shit why did I walk to lorong chuan. I should've walked to Serangoon.
Anyway, meet overthinking chow. I think I really just need to remind myself that it's not a big deal. But yeah my self-reminding needs improvement heh.

Ok so what have I been doing.
Went to barrage with the DY kids today. Followed by city hall for lunch and then a visit to Esplanade. Good day.

BTW. Redundant update about my shoes that I really wanted. Bought it already. With the help of WAN LIN. Only feels right to mention her. She searched some blogshops because blogs hopping is her forte and tada found it for a cheaper price. To be honest I was still slightly reluctant to buy it lah (burning holes in wallets with chow Jia hui #1) but I did anyway. Chinese New Year shoes (#excuses). But it's a lot cheaper compared to retail price (Fareast had it for 30% off and it was still $31.10 lol ok very funny, shoe shop)

One last thing, I'm sunburnt. I look like I'm blushing. ☺

Good morning

Problem when I'm awake after 12am and I need to wake up at 6.10am later on. Darn. Anyway, I wanted to blog earlier but I was busy socialising with my parents. Who then ditched me and I got busy trying to write Chinese calligraphy. I'm not joking.

Denise's last week in Singapore, I've been seeing her everyday of this week so far. Sigh. Gonna miss her truckloads. I think I'm just really new to the idea of having my bestfriend somewhere so far away for a long time. It's not as if we saw a lot of each other through secondary school (thx to us being in different schools) but its just different knowing that she's no longer down the road and to the left.... :_( Sigh. But it's ok, I'm happy for her. Going overseas opens up new doors. It's great that she has this opportunity and I really hope she has a good year(s).

After band today I went to Sk. I was early and bored so I just walked towards St Anne's lol. I dk why but I like walking along that road. It's so quiet and peaceful and yet the stillness feels safe. Perhaps it's the occasional bicycle ringing its bell at us or the dodgy characters with shadows as faces that still seem harmless. I like that road either way. Walked back to compass with Ryan and then we finally found Denise. Watched some reunion and makaned. I'm really grateful to have friends like them. Not really the two of them together because its only the first time I'm seeing both of them together but separately. I'm actually going really off topic now because what the train in my mind is carrying isn't exactly coming off quite well here. But. Basically I'm really grateful. And it's not about objects or things its about the people.
Okie dokie I really should sleep man. Less than 6 hours. C'mon chow you could do it last year and you can do this now.

I wish the puzzle pieces actually fit together.

Evidence of my shitty calligraphy

Sunday

Attended the Edusave Award presentation this morning to receive my award. It was held at Xin Min. Entering that school again just reminds me of the countless times I went in to prac (and semi lepak) wit Jillo. Hehehehe and sneaking pass the security guard. The sleeping security guard. Good times.
From 12 to 4 I don't know what happened. I was sitting at my desk working on my 2013 Planner when all of the sudden, all the hours in between disappeared. Really just disappeared.
Relatives came around 5 to eat and stuff. Then it was night. Father played the guitar, I like it when he does. Then we were all singing hehehe. Family left and my bro and giant cousin played halo. For the first time since years ago. Amazing. I missed halo like crazy. It was great just watching, can't wait to play again omg.
I'm going out with Wan Lin tomorrow. Isn't it great to have a neighbour friend :_)

Princess of China

I could have been a princess, you'd be a king
Could have had a castle and worn a ring
But no- you let me go
You stole my star

Lucky day

Today I was lepaking at home singing Eh Sheeran (what's new). Around 3 Denise called to tell me that she was in HP fairprice with her family. So I went over to hitch a car ride over to the Yew's. impromptu bestfriends yeah. Lepaked again. Then her father asked me to join them for dinner. So we headed over to Greenwich and ate at Paradise inn. Thank you for dinner :_) I strolled into the restaurant like some hobo wearing flip flops FBTs and my baggy Servathon shirt. While we were walking out of Greenwich we passed by some redemption booth. For every $50 spent, you can draw one scratch card from this pink colour tree lol. So we had 3 draws. Denise picked one and didn't win anything. I picked one and won a $5 voucher. Then everyone damn shocked and told me to pick another so I did. Scratched that card and won $500 HAHAHAH. It was the grand prize and there was only one of those cards. I ruined Greenwich's game cos it's only the second day of the promotion. HAHAHA. Boss. Spoil game. Ok anyway, everyone very happy with $505. Im just so surprised at my luck today :_)

Lol ok accidentally cropped the photo so you're left with half of my face.

Give Me Love

Give me love like never before,
Cause lately I've been craving more. 
And it's been a while but i still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood, is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya,
Give a little time to me, we'll burn this out,
We'll play hide and seek, to turn this around,
All I want is the taste that your lips allow, my my, my my, oh give me love

Long week

This has got to be one of my longest weeks since O's ended. That's why I hardly had time to blog. But I'll try to cover as much of the week as I can now. Lets do this systematically okie dokie? :_)

Monday
Went out with bestfriend yew. It was our day of ill-luck. We were supposed to go to IKEA at Tampines for lunch before heading to I think Bishan GV to catch the 2.10pm screening of Les Miserables. But we were already late (because Denise's contacts decided to give her a red eye) when our bus arrived and I realised that I had left my Ezlink card at home. So we decided, that we would just have lunch at hougang point. I checked the next movie screening for Les Miserables and it was 3.40pm at Vivocity. So after our good long lunch, we headed over to Vivo. Bought tickets and just went to CottonOn to kill time. That's when I found these pair of shoes that I've been searching for everywhere but they didn't have my size and they were too expensive anyway. Sigh. So sad (Doesn't sound like me ah, hahaha but I really liked those shoes :_( ). After that we went to buy popcorn and nachos because I had this GV coupon that seriously seemed to say "HERE'S FREE FOOD" but it lied because it was just discounted by a few cents. So we bought unnecessary food because the GV man didn't even bother to explain to us about it when we first showed him the coupon. O well, will never buy shit food from GV ever again. Les Miserables was great though. But not everyone will be able to appreciate it though. I liked it so much. I thought it was amazing. And that there was so much talent in one movie. Sigh. So amazing.

Tuesday
Met up with Jovin and Chee Kuen (always dear Wong Wong) in the morning at Corobucks. We were supposed to meet up with all the other bench kids but they didn't show. That was disappointing :_/ o well, had a good time just lepaking in Starbucks with them. After that Ck and I headed down to SC. Crashed band with the rest of the band kids! Then DM chased us out of the band room lolok. So we went to the canteen with MK and then lepak again. Queen of lepaking. Good time chatting up with them all. After that I went for dinner with an ex-classmate.

Wednesday
Went to Ryan Tan's place with the other DSAs for lunch before band practice. He cooked us lunch, thank you, you masak (probably wrong spelling) very bagus. Masterchef Tan. Because we lost track of time, we were late for practice. That resulted in us being reprimanded by zong tong (band pres). Apologised. Band prac was mainly rehearsing for open house. After band prac we played the flute ensemble piece and I had flute 3. The low notes and the uncooperative flute killed me. I was dead tired by the time I dragged myself out of NY. Dead tired. And I was just thinking, the faster I get my ass over to Bukit Timah the faster I get my rest. So I really just rounded up all my remaining energy and propelled myself to flai's house. Reached there within 25 minutes I am amazing!!!!!!!!! Had a great meal and a nice shower thanks flai. DY kids stayed over at flai's that night so that we could just walk over to SC the next day.

Thursday
Woke up at 7.40am despite my repeatedly interrupted sleep thanks to Hilary low Wong ck Sofeah Samsuddin and Cheryl Wong. Ate breakfast that flai's grandmother bought. Her family should win a hospitality award. Then Hilary was screeching "lets sing legs sing!!!" So we sang. Sang and listened to Ed Sheeran all morning and soon enough, 'Give Me Love' was stuck in my head. It's still stuck btw. If Youve seen me within the past 30 hours you would've heard me sing it (the chorus) repeatedly. Can't get it out seriously!!!
Ok we reached school and I still wasn't nervous. I wasn't nervous as Mrs Yogee explained how to fill in the JAE thing. I wasn't nervous at all until I was tearing open the envelope. So I was ripping it really slowly because I honestly didn't want to know. My sister kept telling me to hurry up though. Then I was searching for my score but I couldn't find it lol ok honestly I caught a glimpse of the number 8 but I was thinking "what cannot be lah" so I continued searching. Then my sister pointed out the "l1r5 =8" and said "you got 8 lah you retard" and I couldn't believe it. I think I was shaking. Then I told her "no lah you check again" and she did then I realised that I did get 8. I was freaking happy. Or relieved. I think both. Whoa. Felt damn good. It's not the best score ever but it's what I'm happy with. I'm still happy now when I think of it. Got a lot of good news when so many of my good friends did so well. So proud and happy for everyone it's just really great. Sigh :_) Of course, not everyone did well. And I'm not gonna say "it's ok" anymore because that seems to piss them off more. I suck at consoling people but what I can say is, O's and that number you receive may determine your path but it doesn't define who you are. You go where you will choose to go and from there you just need to lift your chin up, stop dwelling on about it, and work harder. I believe in you :_) <3 (I'm pretty sure about who reads my blog so yes, you.)
After that intense hour my sister brought me to island creamery for and ice cream treat. We lepaked again and then I headed home while she went off to meet her friends. I was so grateful for my sister's company yesterday. No walking home alone sadly with disappointment like during the PSLE results LOLOL. Wan Lin came over for an hour plus after that. Guess what we did. Lepaked. AHAHA. Then after that I crashed Ck's house :_) with liz then we lepaked somemore.

Friday
Woke up at 7 and the sun wasn't even out yet! Got dressed, had a Chocochino (no joke. Legit name) and a Gardenia then headed out. Randomly hopped onto 103 cos I thought it would go to the back gate but I was wrong HAHA. Anyway, open house was enjoyable. And my love for the school is growing man. Even though I'm not exactly a student there yet. But I'm happy. My section is so nice and funny and I like everyone very much. Saw a lot of familiar faces. Went to see my grandma after practice. I love grandma. Now I'm on a bus heading home. It's been a good week.

Btw. I've seriously been singing Give Me Love EVERYWHERE. When I'm walking on the street in the mrt in the lift on the staircase EVERYWHERE. I think pedestrians think I'm psycho.

Morning

I don't feel like doing anything right now. Just to be honest. I don't want to do anything and I don't want to go anywhere. Yeah but that's impossible, I'd melt in the heat anyway.
Yesterday was a really long day. Can't decide if today would seem longer.
I'm a little nervous for tomorrow. I think I've already mentioned how I felt about the results in a previous post. I'm not confident about it because I don't really know what to expect. Just remember that what's done is done. And that you reap what you sow. Most of the time.
I'm trying to remind myself to be more appreciative about the things around me. Things. People. Because you don't really know what you have till it's gone.
Here is Wong Chee Kuen trying to play the saxophone.

C reate

I love flipping through IKEA catalouges. They give me inspiration. Lol. Ok anyway, working through my 2013 diary, here's how far I've progressed.
(1) lines the pages
(2) filled in days and dates
(3) labeled the months
(4) recorded birthdays

Trying to find space for my periodic table though.
Cheers, have a good Sunday.

Eavesdropping Chow

Remembering 2012

There are so many things that had happened in 2012 then I didn't really have the chance to share (since I didn't post on my blog). Some worth remembering and some, not so much. And if it wasn't for my 2012 scheduler I would probably have forgotten about them so well done 2012 Chow Jia Hui for recording these down.

1 January 2012
Started off my New Year with a trip to Kukup with Denise's family. Being so close to Denise even after so many years is something that I'm starting to treasure even more and I doubt I can ever find a friend as good as she is.

3rd January 2012
It was the first day of school. Sofeah and I sat beside each other as we had planned the previous November/October. She left me a chicken post it saying "Hello chow jia Hui. Lets make happy Rainbow's in 2012. Happy Unicorns." Guess we got about doing that.

11 January 2012
"Ran 3 rounds around the track now I feel like poo"
Do the math and you'll see how much 3 rounds is.

14 January 2012
This year had to be the year of concerts because I don't remember attending this many concerts in any other year. So the first concert was the MTDC Graduation Concert for the Class of 2011. Jillene was performing and this ticket was free. On the same day, I visited Elizabeth's church after much convincing. Didn't write it down but I remember that.

17 January 2012
Cursive handwriting: Give Clare a hug
The box beside it is unchecked though. I guess I should get about completing that task :_) Clare Yeap has been an amazing friend throughout 2012. She's in my class and in my CCA and she has always been supporting me constantly, all the way. I really appreciate her being there for me all the time.

25 January 2012
Manis had to go to the vet urgently for the open wound near her tail. Pretty frightful experience for me with all the worrying. Thankfully my auntie drove Manis and I down to the vet to get treated. She also helped to pay the treatment and medication fees. Sometimes when everything's a blur my extended family comes in and saves the day. Love them. ❤

27 January 2012
Rui Chen's reminder to "start eating". I think I wasn't eating properly then because of all the shit happening.

20 February 2012
Survived 2.4km run for the 4th time in my secondary school years. This time, I had a friend running beside me during every round; just to make sure that I don't stop. Passed by 2 seconds and everyone cheered :_) Thanks Sarah Clare Chee Kuen Elizabeth Sofeah and Faith for your encouragement then. It was really touching and it meant so much to me.

19 March 2012
Sofeah and I being bored in class. We shared our interest in participating in Hair for Hope. So we scribbled down an agreement.

28 March 2012
Spirit of the Class. We didn't win but we had fun.

7 April 2012
Elizabeth's birthday dinner at City Square mall. Glad to have been able to celebrate her 16th with her and our DY homies :_)

14 April 2012
SC carnival! Last carnival as a student in the school. I don't seem to have much memories of it though. Quite a blur but I think I enjoyed myself.

22 April 2012
Resonance 2012. My last concert as a student in the school. Not my last as a member of the band. Alumni hehe. This concert was honestly a big headache to me because of the ticket sales. The pressure to sell the tickets was overwhelming. We had a higher authority constantly barking down at us to sell everything but that was only because someone higher up the pyramid was doing the same to them. And you know what? I don't blame anyone. Fear motivates them all. My motivation was not driven by fear. I just wanted the concert to go well.

23 April 2012
I penned down "6 MORE MONTHS". Time flies.

27 April 2012
I forgot it was my birthday. My friends didn't fail to remind me though. It was a good day, everyone made me feel very special so thank you very much.

28 and 29 April 2012
Somehow my birthday was celebrate through the weekend by and with several different groups of people. I swear I was so touched. So very grateful.

28 May 2012
MT O LEVELS. Wrote it down in caps and highlighted it in grey. In fact, the whole page was black and grey and ominous. Probably to show my immense fear. This paper had to be one of the papers I worked the hardest for. Unfortunately, I am 100% positive that I attained the worse grade for this subject. But I knew I worked very hard. I read the question wrongly so I wrote my essay completely off topic. When I found out about this after the paper I felt crushed. I remember that feeling, it was so bitter and sour I felt so horrible. Sigh. But O well. What's done is done. I'm glad for all the encouragement I received while I worked for this paper and while I waited anxiously for my results. Thank you everyone who had put up with my whining about how I was definitely gonna fail but I really did feel like crap.

Ok party pooper, I will end here because this is extremely time consuming. But it really feels good to refresh my memory for these specific days. And appreciating all over again :_)

Cough cough

I have the cough.

Today we went back to the school to surprise Ms Hu on her birthday. We brought 6 cupcakes from twelve cupcakes and a candle.
It was good catching up with her and the rest and I'm glad she was surprised and happy.

After that we went to Sarah's house. She has a golden retriever!!!! I love dogs.

Tomorrow and Friday will be school days sigh. I have to go to new school.

Results will be released soon! I'm not really nervous (yet). I don't know what to expect I just hope I do ok. I hope I do well. Ok is would usually be enough but I think I worked hard. And my results would actually reflect my capability and if I still do badly then I will be very disappointed. And I will resign to the fact that I am dumb. Sigh I hope I do ok.

I have the cough.

I'm bleeding

Overly dramatic title to kick start the New Year. Ok just kidding.
Happy New Year everyone! May your 2013 be even better than your fantastic (I hope) 2012. And if it hasn't exactly been fantastic, then just know that it only gets better.

Anyway, I AM bleeding. I have developed a weird rash patch on my arm. Right arm and left arm on the exact same spot. Slightly below my elbow. The rash is weird because it isn't the pinkish reddish kind of rash. It's more of like... dried skin. Like reptile scales, I'm a reptile now. Anyway, there are scaley dots in this patch of scales. Lol where am I heading to. Ok let's try again.
Basically I think my skin was dry in the cold Hong Kong air and I developed this weird rash that appears to be scaley skin. And I must've scratched it unknowingly or knowingly and tada bleeding. But I only have dots of blood. It's as if some on aimed a nano-sized shot gun at my arm and pulled the trigger. Splash of tiny droplets of blood.

I went to IKEA with Sofeah last Wednesday and because I just got a new camera, we pretended to be tourists. With the fake accent and all.

I am sad

I left my contact lenses on the plane :_(
