205'08<3
today was a very memorable day, definitely.

it was really a step ahead from last year's scene on this day; everyone was crying for a good cause instead of otherwise(:

i dont know what to say..

i felt goosebumps all over since the start of the day.. which kinda made me oblivious to my slight fever, runny nose and sore throat. of course, the warmth that the class unconsciously emanated.
the day started quite well.. with chenxi jolene and shannon talking nonstop about crap and plucking out my hair(!!) and disgustingly threw them all over the place (think about passing down those things=.=) which were as usual, lame. HAHA.
that kinda set the whole mood for the last day of school, especially as the last official day as a member of 205 (okay actually there's still C&D). but it was quite saddening to think that was the last ever time we'll all queue up in a straight row as 205. and that'll be the last time i wear that golden badge.. the thought of leaving 205 is just.. depressing. ):

and then we had some spring cleaning and then photo taking. it was damn hilarious cos we did some flash mob thing for candid shot and i think it looked uber cool:D sorry to say that some of us were missing in that picture.. ): after that jolene shannon accompanied me to pop to get colour papers for the letter writing ceremony during level closure cos apparently many forgot to bring (including me, haha). but when we got there pop was surprisingly not opened for businss yet so we sat outside and tried to emo. okay that wasnt very successful for me since im quite.. unfeeling in a way? well i dunno. but when we were listening to the graduation song suddenly there was this thunderous sound of the metal thing going up and someone appeared behind us. shannon got SO shocked that she jumped up and down the stairs, away, jolene WAHHHH-ed and i went eeks. HAHA. it was damn funny, its like some comic relief out of a disastrous.. scene.

well watched some 105 class thing that sumei did (or her bro) in class together.. and jolene and shannon were the only poeple who cried. quite surprising eh? actually i came to realise that both of em regardless of how silly they act look and talk they still have many many feelings deep inside. hahaa(: break after that, and then class closure resumed after recess. wanglaoshi distributed the report book slips (HORROR) but everyone kinda expected what they would get so we did not kick up a fuss over results. so then it was speech time. everyone was supposed to give a short speech on what they want to say to the class according to register order...

this was the part where everyone started to cry like crazy.
not to mention, crying is contagious like laughter. once one person starts the whole trend, it gets passed on really fast and by the time jessietan spoke everyone was already.. red with tears brimming in their eyes.

and when it was my turn.. i was quite taken aback for no absolute reason but i was just speechless when i stood up. actually to be honest, a huge amount of disappointment set in when i couldnt cry as jolene and shannon were tearing away.. felt really really sad that emotions could not display themselves when the time is ripe. really didnt want to feel the way i felt in graz when the results were out we got into the finals and gold but no tears of hard work came out):
but when i stood up its like this huge massive wave of tears formed into a tsunami which kinda drowned my brain and i started sobbing. well.. i cannot really say what i want to say from the bottom of my heart when its in front of eveyrone just like that, cos i'll still suffer from stage fright and forget everything i planned to say... but at least the main points were said out at that time, haha.

it was really a thrilling experience of being part of 105'07 and 205'08, everyone taught me how to be a better person in every way. i guess without any single head in the class 205 will never be 205, because everyone counts. its not how people notice us but how we notice ourselves.. haha even though we may seem slack, if we want to do something we'll do it great no matter what. and that i guarantee 101%.(: thats what that makes 205 so special. looking back, its quite amazing as to how all 36 have come so far, together. from strangers, to friends forever(: it has been a whale of a time, but of course not a bed of roses. many disputes, arguements occurred but in the process tears were shed and joy was shared. i'll never ever forget every single soul in the classroom that i've gone through so much with. thanks for evrything, 205! i love you<3

actually there's more i want to say but i shall leave the rest to after choral and drama night.. when its really over):

"when the curtain closes, its really over." -adapted from chuanling.
thats really hard to accept, but really i think that'll happen. nvm we shall leave the best to the last(:

for now, we've got two more BIG big projects on hand. two last ones we'll all be working on together! so let us all make drama and fundraising A HIT SUCCESS. woohoo<3

GOGO 205. I LOVE YOU!!!

okay so back to today's story.

headed to boarding school after class closure for level closure. nothing much happened, specific memories for specific classes i guess. class montage was really cool(:

hahaha yeah so thats the end of today. i shall post more about choir perhaps tmr, GOING TO BED NOW DEADBEAT!!!

BIGGEST SELF ACHIEVEMENT OF THE YEAR.
YES I FINALLY LEARNT HOW TO CYCLE.

YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.
YES.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

after so long of dreaming wishing daydreaming hoping... IT HAS COME TRUE(:

haha i know this is stupid to most people but to a stupid person like me, LEARNING HOW TO CYCLE MEANS TRUCKLOADS. whoots!

HEY MAN I KNOW HOW TO CYCLE! I CAN CYCLE WITH YOU GUYS ALREADY 205! (for those who can withstand my constant rantings and screamings and AHHHs.) man a lot of patience is needed to be with me eh? hahahah.

yay all thanks to my uncle who gave me all the basics (rather than my dad who had abandoned me in the middle of the pedestrian pavement. =.=)

me: AHHHH! aiyo so difficult lehhh.
-gets off the bike-
dad: AIYA you enough already la, my turn my turn!!!
-snatches bike away and cycles far away into the horizon-

SO MEANNN.

but its okay cos i learnt how to cycle!

thanks saiying jolene junqi jianing (sorry for hurting your leg) audrey for coaching me at first! now i think i know how to salvage my inbalance when i slant to one side; just keep on slanting and move the bike the othr way right? hahah im not making sense. cos my brain is full of high juices. :D

this post isnt making much sense but i guess its just to celebrate me for learning how to cycle, and knowing how to cycle on MY OWN for 50 M at the most(: great achievement ok!

CHUAN YOU BETTER LEARN HOW TO CYCLE.
okay jolene just told me that YOU learnt how to cycle one day before sentosa. HMPHHH.

"even if we're miles and miles and miles apart."
okay so its been eons ago since i've touched my blog.



tried to but this always slips off my fingertips when.. it comes to posting. so i never really got around to post. anyway, i really missed a lot a lot a lot of major events.



like,



slack day with jolene shannon and shanping (wednesday)

shannon's outing (FTS!<3)>
class chalet (!!!) (sunday-monday)

unraveling mysterious days (=.=) (tuesday & wednesday)

volleyball! (thursday)

hsm3 (today!)


yeah its like a hell lot of stuff. plus bits and pieces of choir.. and other stuff. never to forget, DRAMA. hahaha. okay now to add on the list, JIANING WANTS ME TO DO SOME QUIZ THAT SHE CLAIMS IS IRRITATING.


okay i shall start with wednesday(:


went out that morning to fetch shannon and shanping from the bus stop, and subsequently took sky for a walk. but on the contrary the walk became a run. people were staring at us (sky & me - and fyi, sky is a dog, not the real sky!!!) and he was like a maniac um hopping around at everything that obstructed our way (or rather his way). haha. so RAN back to my house with shannon and shanping, and we started watching hsm2. ate lunch and jolene came. we started watching "maori and the three puppies". it was actually a really touching show, but LOL jolene spoilt the atmosphere by laughing at the utmost saddening parts. heh shanping teared a bit! and shannon claimed that if jolene wasnt there she could have cried to, but never mind i never knew such a show could be that humourous! (MOTO MOTO = SOMETIMES.) hahaha.

next we watched enchanted and LOL-ed hard. fairy tales never fail to amuse us, seriously(: then lamed around and play with sky and then they went home.
feel damn nostalgic about that period of time when life felt so carefree and like nothing could possibly go wrong. i guess this was a day that we all felt.. like we were in the past with no troubles(:

freedom's here(:
haha havent touched blogger for a long long time.

finally the period of torture is over!
looking back, i cant believe that what all of us sec2s have been working for are all over. eoys.

just 6 plain papers that could entangle our brain so much with excessive information, facts and make us go crazy. hahaha now its freedom and we're free to do anything we want. all hail to EEOY!:)

on tuesday, everyone was practically counting down to the end of math paper 1(which thankfully went.. quite okay). no it wasnt like the hsm2 scene but at least it had that kind of ambience, just that it had to end with some exam. and sumei was seriously hilarious, "205! THIS IS THE LAST EXAM WE'LL BE TAKING TOGETHER!" HAHAH.

but really come to think of it, it really is the last exam paper that 205 would be taking together as a class.. altogether in the same exam hall. its kinda sad to think that we will have to separate so soon.. less than a month together.. after all like shanping said, 205's the class that we grew up in, the first ever foothold we conquered in nygh. i'll miss yall alot): nvm now it's not the sad and nostalgic moment yet, let's play our hearts out yeah? YEAH CHALET, DRAMA AND OUTINGS! <3

okay so back to tuesday. a whole bunch of us went to jurong east to iceskate:D hehheh. it was damn funny on the bus; we were practically creating havoc! the few of us (note the word FEW) were screaming our heads off while molesting other people =.= HAHA. reached jurong east and then all of us went to the toilet.

i was still in a stance, because i was just following the herd then i realised we were heading towards the toilet. so i asked jessie tan,
"why are we all going to the toilet?!"
"to change la of course, what else!"
"OH YA HOR"
"you can change here!"

=.=

hahah. braindead braindead. we flooded the whole toilet and then went for lunch. ate at the food court and sacrificed my cheeseeeeeeeeeee friessss anyway i didnt feel like eating that (for once!!) so ate chicken rice with junqi. talked and then next was arcade!

didnt do much there; jolene and shannon went to hang out with the machines and the rest of us went to take neoprints(:

i shall just put all neoprints together..
2nd shot was with wls!

















credits to jianing who sent the neos to everyone!thanks:D

haha hadnt hit the neoprint booth for a really long time! it was really squishy and all but it was worth the fun, seriously(: everyone was trying to shuffle seats and everything and i think we made a whole mess in the booth but it turned out okay(:


next stop was the rink(:
fell down a hell lot of times. but at least it was better than the first try(: there were quite a lot of nanyang girls there.. including2/2. banged into people a couple of times, and the worst was when i almost crashed into a girl and i was sent flying into the air and a thud on the floor in a superman likish way.. my whole body flat ont he ground. heh, maybe not so exaggerated but yeah along those lines, hahaha. and many people started laughing. HRMPH. its not my fault okay, i dont really know how to balance on those metal things.. i shall learn how to properly skate and rollerblade someday. MUST.


hahaha so finally ive got some aim for this holiday. suddenly i feel so... motivated and full of life. hahah. okay um that was random. around 230 wanglaoshi arrived and the whole herd rushd up to escort her! she was really not bad too. after many years of not touching the ice she really got the hang of it really fast. shanping too, it was just her FIRST TIME and before 10 min she glided on the ice like she was togther with it forever. and as usual, shannon skated like she never skated before. the rest were really good too.. yuka caught the momentum quite fast, haha. chuanling looked a lot better than me; at least she didnt touch the ice as much as me. hahaha. jolene guided me like almost the whole time we were there.. hahaha but she never fail to let go of me when im just like right in front of a person. doesnt matter, stil thanks anyway!(: if not i would have died in the rink.


oh yes one of the highlights was shannon's birthday celebration(: audrey suggested it, then we went to the counter to choose the song and dedicate a note for shannon(: hahahah then all of us congregated and the birthday song started playing. shannon got so embarrassed she skated round and round but we still managed to sing "towards" her.. ahha and the best thing was that the snow added to the whole ambience<3>

haha after iceskating we spent quite sometime deciding on our nxt destination. meanwhile all of us took neos with wls and then we parted. jolene chuanling junqi and i went to west mall for dinner. chuan had to go home.. then junqi jolene and i loitered; stayed in mos burger for 30 min hahah and then decided to eat in some restaurant where waitresses kept screaming HUAN YING GUANG LING! LOL. add my stringlike noodles and rocklike DUCK. couldnt eat most of the duck; dont know how people can tear apart those... things, like jolene ong. she must have some.. teeth of a carnivore or something. nvm, im an omnivore!:D but my teeth aint that strong so yeah. hehh. okay thats nonsense. junqi and jolene donated some of their food to me so as to add taste to the noodles. haha it was okay la. but great dinner experience(:

haha junqi!

went to popular for a while and then went home.. took mrt and then jolene the mudman lied on my bag.



looks like a brown ant's head right hahahaha. this thing attracted a lot of attention and junqi and i pretended we didnt know this.. lunatic. haha. reached home at 830 and slept quite early. really exhausted after the whole trip.. but nevertheless it was fun(:

whoa posted a lot.. havent posted like this for ages!
will post again about yesterday later..
