Moved to www.thefannypackclub.wordpress.com :')
Kind of tough for me to shift, since it's been here since 2006.
But ah, I definitely need a change :-)

2012 has been a fruitful year

Work is truly enlightening

Although I'm supposedly coaching,

throughout the course of the 2 weeks that I've been facilitating/observing,

I've learnt so much about people and the world outside my little bubble.

For the past 18 years, despite everyone telling me I live in a sheltered environment,

I thought that I was fairly exposed to the outside world.

But these two weeks have shown me that I've been living life inside a bubble.

I have seen nothing, heard nothing, known nothing.

"Remember, remember

This is now, and now, and now

Live it, feel it, cling to it

I want to become acutely aware of all
I've taken for granted"

Tomorrow's my first day of coaching,

from being thoroughly frightened by the prospect,

I am now excited.

Pray and hope I will do good, scratch that, I wanna do brilliant.

2012-01-09T07:15:00.000-08:00

I just want to lie very still, very very very still.

2012: Amazing Adventures Ahead

I hope 2012 will be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.
Please let tomorrow be a good day for me

Christmas Eve

Chasing a hyperactive two year old around

Watching him learn to blow bubbles

Inquisitive minds, tiny fingers

Too cute, but I was glad he was in the arms of his dad when he vomited from too much Sour cream & onion Lays

And my cousin led a pony-sized labrador into my house

Yellow was the biggest dog I have ever seen,

and such a lovely one too.

I wasn't frightened of him at all (!!!)

Anyway, hope you had a merry christmas~

2011-11-26T20:21:00.000-08:00

20. Learn to walk in heels hahahahaha my RProject audition was...perfect HAHA

The list is so much longer but I don't wanna get myself too pumped up

In other news, prom dress shopping is a horror.

HAHA Since I wasn't very serious about prom in St Nicks....

as seen from my dress and you can't see my shoes but you don't rlly wanna know

I never frickin' knew lookng for a prom dress would be so hard!!!!!!!

I mean like WHAAAA'! It's so tough!!!!!!

All I know is I want bright colours :-)

I really like the yellow and blue dress (!!!!)

Hanissa's mom is positive that I am exactly like Zooey Deschanel in New Girl.

I always thought I acted very normal when I was at her house,

I honestly have no idea how she found out that I was retarded...

I am the most stupid person on earth,

big

fat

ruiner.

AHAHAHA I was trying to get people to chip in to share her present,

so my text went like

"hi hi hi hanissa's birthday is coming (dunno 28 or 29 hahaha can't remember), do yáll wanna share!!!! don't worry we can be cheapskate (like her!!!! hahaha)"

I sent it to Brander, Khaing zin, Melissa, Yuhui....and HANISSA.

HAHA am I stupid or what?!?!?!

The worst thing was, the first time, the sending failed.

And I had this feeling in my bones that Hanissa's name was in the send list.

BUT, being the ruiner that I am, I obviously ignored the signs and pressed send.

Hanissa received her message when they were watching new girl and she said her mom was like

"DOES DIONNE KNOW SHE'S ON TV" sighhhhh

And on Ish's birthday....I ruined the surprise too!!!!

We were all waiting at the table for Daniel Lau to arrive with the cake...

and I thought Ish was buying his lunch so I shouted, yes SHOUTED, at Rifqi

"EH WHAT FLAVOUR IS THE CAKE" cuz I was so excited to eat it, when Ish was right next to me.

Rifqi just stared at me like "WTF?!" and I turned my head and I wanted to die.

I am a ruiner.

SO REMEMBER, INCLUDE ME AT ALL SURPRISE EVENTS BUT REMEMBER TO TAPE MY MOUTH AND FINGERS TOGETHER UNTIL AFTER THE SURPRISE IS OVER.

Lastly I would like to conclude with this:

Dieting and losing weight is so difficut.

My diet labut they give you a bad throat.

Lasted a record 3 days.

And also, barbecued Satays are so delicious

I have officially parachuted from the Helicopter of Dieting and Skinnyness

into the Valley of Obesity

2011-11-25T04:54:00.000-08:00

are you happy now?

2011-11-20T06:00:00.000-08:00

but never understood

I tried doing clap push-ups last night after Abigail told me she tried and failed.

After watching some hot angmoh on Youtube, I tried doing ONE.

I clapped and fell flat.

My arms are damn weak.

I am going to learn to do 10 consecutive clap push ups in time for army ha ha ha.

I wonder if they'll let me join BMT and then disappear.

But first things first, I need to figure out how to get rid of the ache in my arms in time for tomorrow.

You won't regret it

2011-11-16T05:24:00.000-08:00

"Sometimes when you're young you think nothing can hurt you. It's like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. Big Plans. To find your perfect match, the one who completes you. But as you get you realize it's not always that easy. It's not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made were simply plans. Because at the end when you're looking back instead of forward you want to believe you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe you're leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered."

- One Tree Hill

"You never get over it. But you get to the point where it doesn't bother you so much."

- Jeffrey Eugenides

When I was running today, I had a sudden revelation that I have never ever worked towards a goal.

I never had this desire to achieve this that whatever.

Never had a passion to push myself further.

I just work hard for the sake of working hard when I have a vague idea of what I'm good at, and settle for whatever I get for the effort I put in.

Then I realized when I begin to get good at something, I stop.

It's not conscious, not really.

But because when you get good, the expectations begin to culminate and I don't like it when you're supposed to exemplify the pinnacle of success and I'm a bundle of nerves.

I think quitting track and field that marked the start of me taking the easy way out.

Maybe not having expectations makes you happy.

We all know happiness is expectations over reality.

So does zero expectations make you infinitely happy?

I don't know, I'm not so sure whether not being results/goal-oriented is good but somehow I have this feeling in my bones that I may regret this lack of drive.

I think it might eventually lead to me burying any form of gifts that I have.

Maybe my lack of expectations is a facade, a defense mechanism that I created because I am too proud to lose.

So I can safely say that "hey I didn't want it so bad, I didn't expect to win. If it happens it happens" I'm not too sure which one it is.

But at this point of time it seems as though if I died like right now, I would have died as though I never lived.

Maybe I should embrace life with open arms and accept failure and hurt and disappointment, along with the other wonderful things.

While I was getting lost in this sea of confusing and contradictory thoughts I was almost hit on the head by a soccer ball, thank god it didn't because I have fast reflexes and ducked.

2011-11-15T04:53:00.000-08:00

A levels make me feel

1) Ugly (late nights and terrible skin are synonymous)

2) Fat (parents buy too much food for me whoop whoop + too many snacks from supermarkets)

3) Stupid (tell me about it)

On a side note, I love sweaters (L)

I am going to buy lots and lots and lots of sweaters to keep me warm
(Must go shopping with the snail @ OM + my prom dress

I should just go for prom as a Pikachu hahaha imagine that)

Studying at 20 degrees had me shivering for six hours AFTER I left the room

Today I brought Long Johns from Uniqlo along with me HAHA

I hate being cold.

Bye

2011-11-11T16:39:00.000-08:00

I THINK ALIENS DESCENDED ONTO EARTH YESTERDAY. POSITIVE! I WAS STUDYING AND I NOTICED THIS BRIGHT RED LIGHT LINGERING ABOVE THE HOUSES, AND IT GOT LARGER AND LARGER AND LARGER UNTIL IT DISAPPEARED. IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN AN AIRPLANE! I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT LITTLE CJ7S HAVE INVADED THE PLANET ^.^ SO CUTE. INCIDENTALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THE SONG ''THINGS I'LL NEVER SAY'' TO A LEVELS~ ''I'M TUGGING AT MY HAIR, I'M PULLING AT MY CLOTHES, I'M TRYNA KEEP MY COOOOL I KNOW IT SHOWS....CUZ I'M FEELING NERVOUS, TRYNA BE SO PERFECT, CUZ I KNOW YOU'RE WORTH IT YOU'RE WORTH IT YEAH~'' HALFWAY TO HEAVEN....OR HELL? ONLY TIME CAN TELL... MEANWHILE, WATCH ME DESCEND INTO THE DARKNESS LIKE A BRIGHT RED ALIEN LIGHT

Killing time while waiting for life to shower me with meaning and happiness

Meanwhile, I shall shower you with pictures of my face in varying degrees of shabbiness.

Which, for all you know, may bring you meaning and happiness.
HAHAHAHA

"You may not know this, I somewhat consider myself a one man wolf pack."

My younger brother is one hell of a smart alec.
(so is my older brother actually...but that's beside the point)

First in class, top in cohort for geography and science!

No mean feat, but he deserves it cuz he has been such a mugger
:') I am awfully proud of him.
His falling sick during PSLE may have been a blessing in disguise after all.

Also....he kind of grew a lot taller this year,

although I will be the first to defend myself by saying we are still the same height.

Which we are.

Just saying.

I was just thinking about how my parents are telling me,

that it's fine if I don't do well for A levels.

That as long as I get university, it will all be okay.

That all they want me to be is happy.

But then again, they were so proud and happy that my younger brother did well,

it means that it does matter right?

How can you be telling the truth when you claim that you don't mind if the world ends tomorrow,

but still feel relieved when you realize nothing has changed the next day?

I'm not going to shy away from a challenge though.
It may be tough but I can still make it :-)
Even if I don't exactly measure up to the standards of anyone,

I believe I can still be happy.

So...let's just keep working hard and see how it turns out!

"If you base your self-esteem, your feelings of self-worth, on anything outside of the quality of your heart, your mind, your soul, you have based it on a very shaky footing".

I'm always on the lookout for new mountain peaks to climb.

But when I get to the high top, I'm level with the ground

All I want is something to hold to,

Something inside tells me it's you

2011-10-17T17:03:00.000-07:00

I'm inside of me, searching through the things

Trying hard to find, pieces to match together in life

Rearranging my confusing thoughts

Trying hard to find feelings that I can bring back alive

2011-10-12T01:57:00.000-07:00

I am never ever going to be bulimic.

Yesterday's experience had me throwing up 7 times.

It was terrible, after the 3rd time, I was vomiting digestive juices.

I was feeling nauseous and unwell during the early afternoon,

and I had to run out during the Biology Mock Exam thrice to throw up...

(people began to wonder what was wrong with me)

Aravin thought I was crying haha.

So I left after taking the answers and my dad brought me to some 24h clinic in Pasir Ris.

The doctor was frickin' fat...and he was pretty much useless.

He gave me some medicine which the other doctor later said was not even for vomiting.

And he gave me for diarrhea which I didn't have...

and I threw up his medicine once I reached home.

I curled up in bed and I had a high fever of 39.2

(I think I was close to mental retardation)

In the end, I went to another clinic at 7pm after throwing up for the 7th time.

The doctor was good-looking hahaha or maybe cuz he was young.
(He was probably from RJ)

(It feels kind of weird and surreal that many, if not most of my friends are going to be doctors in the future)
Before you accuse me of ogling at handsome doctor even when I was sick (like Hanissa did), my mother was the one who said he was handsome before I voiced my opinions okay...

Anyway I had a jab and took fever medicine and anti-vomiting medicine and slept from 8pm to 3pm so I'm much better now.

Although I still feel very groggy and slightly dazed.

Kind of weird, since I don't have stomach flu,

and most vomiting is usually caused by stomach flu/food poisoning.

My mom is convinced it's because I slept late :-/
Although I hardly think that's the case

Hehe I have nice friends :')

Love chu!

2011-09-27T23:16:00.000-07:00

“I think that something needs to be weird in order to have a real beauty. Beauty can be quite boring, especially if you’re talking about beauty that doesn’t last. And what lasts is exactly the thing that maybe wasn’t pretty at first—it comes over time to be beautiful or interesting or exciting."

I have like 200 photos to upload

and Facebook is not helping.

2011-09-24T08:41:00.000-07:00

Just spent my entire afternoon at a karaoke lounge/lingerie section of H&M...

When I have chemistry MCQ on Monday.

But wtf (why the face), once you realize love is the only thing that matters,

everything else seems so small.

I love my friends (L)
It was so fun, doing silly things we used to do like sing Apologize and Low.

My Sec 2/3/4 classmates are the best I swear #neverbereplaced

P.S/ Vanessa's family is damn funny too...

I'M GONNA ROLL YOU UP LIKE A PORNOGRAPHY POSTER

“Man is the crystallized potentiality of existence.”

-Martin Buber

I’ve got ideas of caravans and wood floors, speeding across the universe at so many miles per hour. Travel. A camera in my hand, a notebook in my bag. I am trying to reign the world into my two shaking hands, and it's not working for me. So I’ll give myself up to the way that the ground tilts and spins beneath me and ride it till I fall over, exhausted and ready to tell people about it. I’m reassuring myself that this is the time to act, this is the time to live, I’ve got the tools, let’s make it work. Let's make it work.

2011-08-27T03:59:00.000-07:00

Friendship

With school coming to a close, I feel a certain kind of sadness,
and a certain kind of joy.
I entered Raffles insanely excited by the prospect of a new life,
to suffering from a culture shock for a little while (expectations vs reality),
to reveling in every single moment.
It was an entirely different experience from secondary school,
although it was thoroughly gratifying as well.
Raffles is so diverse and the people are so interesting.
(Though I must admit I have seen a fair share of weirdos)
(In fact I was stunned by how...different people could be)

It's kind of regretful, because I never got to know some people.
Some people you sort of know, but never got to become very close to.
Basically, your fun friends/hi-bye friends
They make you laugh, you're happy to see each other
and you can half-jokingly insult each other,
but you're just not close enough to meet up.
These are the people that you lose contact with,
and that's really the saddest part of it all.

Everything's going to change, once we graduate.
Or maybe things are already changing,
I can already feel the ground shifting beneath my weight.
I will probably get over these feelings of melancholy in a matter of months, weeks, or days.
And that's just the sad truth.

2011-08-20T17:39:00.000-07:00

I've had to make a conscious effort to be happy some time ago
Most people probably think I am happy all the time, or something.
But I am actually an insanely individual sometimes...
And I stop talking because I'm afraid I'll say something I'll regret.
All is well though

So I went for Bi-cultural China last week or was it last last week-I've lost all sense of time,
and it was about how your thoughts influence the world.
It was kind of amazing, even though Brander Na was snoring away,
and Caryl was zoning out out (I think it's because their Chinese is very lousy hahaha I kid)
But I was never been so awake during Bicultural China

I mean, we've always subconsciously known that thinking positive things about the world,
and of other people, and most importantly ourselves effects positive changes.
But this guy, Professor Masaru Emoto, did 10000000 experiments with water (it's probably not that much of an exaggeration) and he realized that water responds to what we say.
They freeze the water a -25 degrees, and observe the droplets under the microscope.

This one is when you stick a paper saying "I hate you, I want to kill you" on it before freezing it

And this one is when you say "I love you" to the water

What we don't realize is, that humans are made up of 75% water.
So the thoughts in our head, change us, and it's reflected in our faces.
It's true, I realize.
Haven't you seen someone, whose face is not exactly striking,
but somehow she's beautiful because of who she is inside?
BOOYA!

So be careful of what you put in your head :-)
Have a good day!

2011-08-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I may have figured out what I want to study in University.
I realize I should started thinking the various career paths to take before I even started JC.
(No, I do not want to study Law or Medicine, unlike most other RJC students)
This road would have been so much easier had I been an Arts student, or even a Hybrid student.
Because at the very least, I have an interest in Arts.

My rationale for taking the dreadful combination- Biology/Chemistry/Math/Economics was that it would keep my options open.
But studying Biology and Chemistry has only led me to the conclusion that...
MAN I NEVER EVER WANT TO TOUCH ANYTHING SCIENCE RELATED AGAIN, LET ALONE EMBARK ON A CAREER THAT REQUIRES ANY SCIENCE AT ALL.

I should have read the signs, I never did well in Science from the start.
Even back in primary school, when science was about photosynthesis and large intestines,
I failed to grasp those concepts.

I quote my older brother, "If there was a science question about why the puddle of water disappeared after 3 hours, Dionne would probably say the dog trotted over and drank the water."

Three weeks from prelims, I am still thinking "WHY AM I STUDYING BIO"
But it's too late for regrets now.
Hopefully I can just scrape through and still get what I want

2011-08-08T07:14:00.000-07:00

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY EVERYONE!!!!

完美的异类混在人群中

我看到的风景跟你看到的一样美丽吗？

我听到的乐音跟你听到的一样悦耳吗？

我闻到的香味跟你闻到的一样芳香吗？

以前以为所有人跟我一样，

现在才明白，原来每个人都不一样。

2011-07-24T22:36:00.000-07:00

This is slightly frightening.
I just deactivated my Facebook account.
I have no MSN.
I feel segregated from the world already.

But there's still my blog (although nobody really reads it, except some lovely friends)
And also my phone (although I haven't really been touching it much)
Also, I haven't met up with my friends in a really long time.
Neither have I been talking much to anyone.
By talking I mean, having meaningful conversations.
And not...Hi what are you eating do you know where's so-and so, okay bye
Nevertheless, I still love chuuuuu.
Don't forsake me friends :(

I feel slightly scared by the fact that I'm so emotionless.
I've become so apathetic/indifferent to everything...that I no longer feel human.
Which is not good. Which is unnerving.
I am beginning to detest myself.
I need to stop living inside my head.

Spot the difference

See if you realize ^^
If you don't already know.

P.S/ I wore only one shoe to school today I am frickin' retard.
I didn't realize my foot slipped out of my shoe when I stepped into the car...
until I was like nearing Bishan and about to tie my laces.
HAHAHA one of shoes was at the carpark.
Wore my dad's shoes to school, HAHAHA but nobody noticed.
I am getting so absent-minded it is not even funny.
My brain has not been functioning since 2010.
Changseon told me his grandmother is coming to live with him and I asked him
"How old is she, twenty?" What the heck man HAHAHA
P.P.S/ Abigail and I are considering replacing Keng Siang with Changseon hahaha.
Any other candidates to join our three-man clique is egligible to submit a portfolio for application.

Update: Hockey BBQ/Durian Trip

I was trying to learn how to speak Malay during the Hockey BBQ
Which is really difficult, I swear!!!!
I faced many challenges mastering four words.
"MENGAPA ENGGA MAHU DONG"
Firstly I cannot remember the words
Secondly I cannot remember the order of the words
Thirdly I cannot speak Malay without making a retarded face
Too difficult, thank god I was born chinese!!!
PS/ I added Dong to my list of words I like

Anyway the food was really goooood ^^
The people cooking had a tough time though!
It was vvv smokey...Hanissa was tearing throughout,
because nobody was appreciative hahahahaha.
I couldn't help since it involved me cooking,
so...I decided to serve people food!
I am far from becoming a domestic goddess.
Ah well.

We left for Yuhui's house at around 10:45!
We just lay on the mattress talking.
HAHAHA We fell asleep at around 2am
And we had to wake up 3hours later.
My goodness, I was vvv tired by 5pm.

We went across the causeway at around 7am!
We just snapped photos everywhere we went.
(Kind of...I realized we didn't take as many photos as I expected though!)

We had breakfast at a coffeeshop~
Caryl and I shared carrot cake, and took a photo of the aunty.
She's really cute (!!!)
We were eating very swiftly, because we were determined not to be a burden.

We visited some chocolate shop, and a confectionary.
I bought a gigantic bag of jackfruit chips, mmmm!
But Yuhui's parents refused to let me pay!!!!!! askjdksajdkasdad

We had durians at an orchard.
Extremely frightening at first, because there were gigantic dogs everywhere
They looked v dirty and were rubbing their bodies against everyone who came.
Caryl and I decided to go along with the Malay aunty hahahaha
She cried out "ALAMAK ANJING" when she saw the dogs.
We were like "It's okay we are also very scared can we follow you?"
HAHA we suck right.
Anyway, yuhui's neighbour was like "I will protect you I will protect you" hahahaha
Durians were not bad, although there was a frightening number of flies.
Then we took a walk around the orchard, or whatever you call it.

Mmmm we visited a temple, although I can't remember exactly who it was built for.
We took some flying broom photos HAHAHAHA ^^
The rest of the people on the bus probably thought we were retarded or something.

We visited a Rabbit farm.
HAHAHA omg the rabbits were the fastest rabbits I've ever seen.
They were charging everywhere! A little bit scary.
BUT THE BEST PART WAS...Caryl was brave enough to enter the animal farm!
One step closer to overcoming your phobia my friend!
Very proud of you! Hahahahahaha although it was the funniest thing ever.
Every single time the turkey/duck/goose/chicken squawked, the rest would follow,
and Caryl would scream her head off.
I couldn't stop laughing hahahahahahahahahaha seriously it was damn funny.
But she couldn't stop shivering afterwards.

I can't remember the rest of the day, we were too tired.

Swimming/ Sitting Ducks

Hanissa and I went swimming one evening at Tampines
When we first entered the water, I felt really happy, I couldn't stop laughing
The water felt so cool and calm~
We had the intention of swimming 50 laps,
but we realized that swimming is really tough.
So we swam 20 laps.
And we headed to the kids' slides, which were nothing like the ones at sengkang
Small and slow.

When we entered the watere, which was like 0.5m deep,
Hanissa was like "The water is uncomfortably warm"
All the little kids peeing into the pool simulataneously eh? Gross
When we were getting out of the pool, Hanissa was like
"Noooo can you ask that little boy to pull up his swimming trunks"
I looked over and squinted and I realized I could see his butt
And. I. Wasn't. Wearing. Glasses

Our lousy instax :(
One was too dark and this way too bright.
So much for looking golden

Before we went home we had gongcha (love lime juice + jelly + white pearls yumyum in my tumtum).

Yesterday I went to her house again to study/scan in my instax.
I showed my notebook of eternal doom.
Ohmygoodness, I am an embarassment the XX population.
HAHAHA and she re-enacted the night when a bat flew into her house.
She lay flat on the floor and became to scream "aaaaah" when the bat was flying fast and furious around her living room hahahaha

While waiting for her dad to come back she locked herself in the house and googled "there's a bat in my house" hahahahahahaha although I fully understand her fears and would do the exact thing if it happened to me, it is still v funny.
We are both weak hearted girls who pretend to be brave.

Anyway, here's my favourite ducky!!!!! ^^

"Always be like a duck- Keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath"

Swallow Me Whole

"It would be possible to describe absolutely everything scientifically, but it would have no meaning, it would make no sense, it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven Symphony as a variation of wave pressure."
- Albert Einstein

2011-06-10T21:09:00.000-07:00

I have always looked like an alien

"All I really need to know about how to live and what to do
and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not
at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the
sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.

Live a balanced life - learn some and think some
and draw and paint and sing and dance and play
and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon.

When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic,
hold hands, and stick together.

Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup:
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody
really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even
the little seed in the Styrofoam cup - they all die.
So do we.

And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books
and the first word you learned - the biggest
word of all - LOOK.

Take any of those items and extrapolate it into
sophisticated adult terms and apply it to your
family life or your work or your government or
your world and it holds true and clear and firm.
Think what a better world it would be if
all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about
three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with
our blankies for a nap. Or if all governments
had a basic policy to always put thing back where
they found them and to clean up their own mess.

And it is still true, no matter how old you
are - when you go out into the world, it is best
to hold hands and stick together."

I went to Shalom Kindergarten when I was four.I remember cutting out pictures of jelly stuck on cardboard,
doing a good job until I got impatient and zigzagged my way through.

Hitting the pinata, my best friend giving me his candy because I was too slow.
Teaching my friends how to drink soup from the wrong side of the spoon,
running as fast as I could to the school bus so that I could sit at the back of the bus.

I transferred over to PAP the next year because my brother graduated.
We were learning how to wrap presents, and I didn't know how to, so my teacher did it for me.
Macaroni soup for lunch, playing with boats in a bath tub full of water, folding my collar up because I thought I looked like Snow White when I did.
Making an Indian friend take her earring off so I could get a closer look, and not knowing how to put it back, crying when we were being scolded.
That was when competition meant who could finish colouring the duck first, and I remember colouring the duck much slower than this Korean girl.

There was once we had to sing '10 little indian boys' (actually I'm not very sure if this was the song title, sounds a little bit racist HAHA) and I refused to. So I didn't get to eat the chicken biscuits the teacher was giving out because I didn't want to sing.
When we graduated, we had to put up a performance and I was chosen to be the fire even though I wanted to be a flower. HAHAHAHA

I WAS A PIAU TOO HAHAHA No la I kid.
My cake was gigantic because I thought we had 40 people in my class when in reality there were only 20++ people.

We used to look at our passports and the expiry date said 2012, and it felt so far away.
I always forget we are in the year 2011. Time flies by too quickly.

2011-06-03T18:59:00.000-07:00

I like the words bendy, hearts, eleanor, map, tumble, and chimney a lot.

This is the problem with not writing in a long time, you lose the ability to string words together because they seem so strange and unfamilar. There are so many thoughts I want to pen down but it is so difficult to express them, so I just let them be.

There are always moments that you think you will never forget, but reading through my posts makes me realize that nothing is ever certain. I want to remember.

RProject 2011

The six of us went to watch the Sunday night show together~
We were being very embarassing, again.
Mostly Jenny HAHAHAHA
That Jenny Niu was screaming the names of everyone she knew,

which is to say almost everybody! (all her underground connections)

Anyway Soon Tiac gave me his balloon!!!! ^^
HAHAHAHA because Abigail reminded him of that fateful incident on Valentine's Day
He was very embarassed, hahahaha.
His outfit was really cute though!
When he walked in with his suspenders, holding two heart-shaped balloons,

we all went "Omg so cute!!!!!!!"
Jenny went to take a photo with him after the show, HAHAHAHA
Okay la to be fair to her, so did we :>

We were supposed to proceed with Operation Liberation @Zouk.
Then the plan changed, and we were supposed to go to Timbre @ the Substation.
BUT we ended up at Starbucks playing shoot shag marry.

HAHAHAHAHAHA but it was damn fun ^^
They didn't allow me to bring back my piece of paper though >:(
"Knowing Dionne, she will probably leave it somewhere and someone will see it"
Terrible lack of faith in me, I say.

Hahahaha hockey girls are the best.
I shall end it here then.

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens
This is amazing, I want to visit this place one day.
Singapore needs breathtakingly beautiful places like this

www.phillymagicgardens.org

This is truly spectacular!!!
You won't regret visiting the site/watching the trailer
I am going to watch the documentary In A Dream

2011-05-08T05:53:00.000-07:00

I feel as though I don't have any time on my hands,

but frankly speaking I have no idea what I've been doing all this time.
This one and a half years has been a flash of light,
(I can understand why they say junior college passes you by without you realizing)
I can hardly remember myself doing anything productive.
I haven't been able to sit myself down and study,
too many frivolous thoughts running through my head.
That is rather frightening, seeing how exams are in about six months.

I can see the gravity of the problem, but I can't feel it.
But my heart will be still soon, that much I can promise myself.
(Hopefully)

On a lighter note, for the lack of updates, this is what I've been up to all this while!
Abigail and I were doing something called "Novelty Mondays" because we needed some motivation to lug our heavy asses to school and because mondays are a bad way to live one sevenths of your life.

So...basically we do fun stuff to brighten our Mondays, and possibly other people'mondays!Novelty mondays was Abigail Tay Jia Hui's idea!

Till this date, we have been through:

Picnic at the Pavilion (yes we have a pavilion in school, Raffles has too much money. They should consider investing in my education seeing how it is highly unlikely that I will be able to get into a university)

Valentine's day

Good Luck for Common Test 1 Goodies Giveaway

Watergun and Masks gunfights.

HAHAHA our last novelty monday was fun.
Jenny Niu was the best!!!!! She brought this really scary superman mask,
with a matching superman suit!!! HAHAHAHAHA pity she left before the real fight began.

We were supposed to have Asexual Sticker Trading Monday, but that plan kind of failed.

Anyway, season has began and has so far been smooth-sailing.
RI VS TPJC: 15-0
RI VS AJC: 2-0
RI VS MI: 4-1

Our second round matche are against VJC and CJC.
We can do it Raffles!!!!!!!!!!!
Praying and hoping the weather is good, and everybody is healthy, and our team is giving our best. Because when we are at our best, we are capable of putting up a good fight against VJC.

But with finals just around the corner, I can't help but feel sad.
The end is near, with just 4 more matches to go.
I quote Jenny Niu HAHA
"No matter what the outcome is, I think when season ends I will cry."
AMEN TO THAT
I've become very attached to this team, I can't remember when it started but trainings have started to become super fun and funny.
My girlies have a special place in my heart
I'll miss y'all :'(

Anyway, I've turned 18 recently!!!!! ^^
HAHAHAHA Jenny and I have big plans.
My goodness, why does my life seem to revolve around Jenny Niu so much these days?
This is not good for my self-esteem.

Everytime there's a reflective surface,
JENNY NIU: "Dionne I love standing beside you. You make me look so tall and pretty and hot"
HAHAHAHAHA __ It's okay la I feel the same way about her hahaha

This is a very long update about my life~
I haven't been blogging much lately...
Ohwellz goodbye!

2011-04-12T07:21:00.000-07:00

First game tomorrow: Come on girls let's bring them down one by one. First up, TPJC.

“Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it’s still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.” — Douglas Adams

2011-03-31T06:35:00.000-07:00

TAKE 5
Awesome stuff ^^

Hockey gurlz had tug of war!
During thursday training Rifqi actually said our team wasn't inside.
And I was like wtfwtfwtf.
(I think it's cause I didn't reply Council's messages)
HAHAHA and I pestered him for at least 5 minutes.
"please Rfiqi please please please why eh you very bad eh please"
until even Fadhil told me I was damn irritating haha.
But in the end Rifqi helped to arrange everything yippeee!!!!

Dionne: "Rifqi is damn nice!!!!"
Melissa: "That's the first time I heard someone say that"
HAHAHAHAHA trudat.

But....in the end Hockey girls had tug of war!!!!!
Thanks to him :-D!
The weight limit was actually 550kg, but we didn't care la obviously.
HAHAHAHAHA All 18 of us played against this OG (9 boys and 3 girls)

Lots of disputes about how heavy we were >:-)

Council Guy: "How many people do y'all have?! I don't believe all of you are under 25kg!!!!"
Dionne: "I how skinny?! Do I look like I am even 20kg?! Hahahahahahaha"

WE BEAT THEM BTW!!!!!
HANDS DOWN!!!!

Our second match was against Rugby! HAHAHA Joke right.
We were taunting each other, HAHA.
There was this J1 rugger called Junyong or something, he's seriously damn buff.

Dionne: "Eh he not human, he cannot play. He's a machine!!!!!"
Then they shouted "BASTAAAAARD" and I ran back to hide behind Abigail hahahaha.
They are v big and strong.

HAHAHA The whole rugby team came la, because all the hockey girls were there.
Someone said something like "walao eh not fair we are like pulling 1500kg" HAHAHAHAHA
So many of them, even Jingsheng the thrower was there.
How unfair right, so I started shouting "IF YOU ARE A GIRL PLEASE COME AND HELP US!!!! PLEASE...THEY ARE VERY BUFF."

In the end we had about 35 girls on our team.
(Thanks to the canoe gurlz and random friends)

Hahahahaha we were winning at the start okay!!!!!
A crowd started gathering and they were rooting for us to win!
"Come on. Pull! You are winning!!! Pull!!!" HAHA

I quote Jamal "I really thought that we were gonna lose. Then I had to go and drown in the sea"
HAHAHAHAHA retarded.

We lost after they started co-ordinating.
HAHA I took a tumble and I think everyone started to fall.
But we put up a good fight (we might have lasted longer than canoe)
And it was seriously damn funny hahahaha.
Even Mali, who said I was retarded, said it was fun!!!!!

We cheered as though we won anyway hehe

"OMG WE LASTED MORE THAN 5SECONDS!!!!!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Epic times

I swear hockey gurlz are the best (Y)

And crap la I am damn friggin' black now and I have the tanline of the tattoo on my face -.-
Not cool.
You have no idea how many times I have heard people tell me they can see the 5 on my face.

Dionne: "Shit la....now the first thing people notice about my face is the take 5 tattoo..."
Abigail and I: "instead of my beauty"
HAHAHA Not bad snail can continue my sentences.
Reminds me of..."Hey y'all shaun kingston" HAHAHAHAHAHA

Gulshan's party~~~
Shit the food was seriously damn gooooood ^^

Life is awesome.

2011-02-03T05:24:00.000-08:00

I swear he is handsome and cute and hot all rolled into one

Dionne: "He is mine."

Brander Na: " You got no hope la!!!!! You look at the girl beside him, the hair also nicer than you already!!!!!"
I don't know why I bothered raising this naught pubby single-handedly.

Hahahahaha okay but she entertains me.

Destroying boys is such my new favourite hobby.

Watergun monday was fun too!!!!!!

I was trying to shoot Yeongyang

Thank God I know how to swim.

2011-01-30T01:13:00.000-08:00

No one ever knows the whole truth about ourselves,
because even we hide it from ourselves.
But we are confronted by the truths our consciousness strains to suppress while we are awake when we dream.

2011-01-12T03:19:00.000-08:00

"Cause if you’re happy in your head, then solitude is blessed, and alone is okay.

It’s okay if no one believes like you, all experiences unique, no one has the same synapses, can’t think like you, for this be relived, keeps things interesting, life’s magic things in reach, and it doesn’t mean you aren’t connected, and the community is not present, just take the perspective you get from being one person in one head and feel the effects of it.

Take silence and respect it."
Tanya Davis, From The How to be alone Poem
Check out her video on Youtube!

I like Marc Johns, and I like him a lot!
His art is just...
Go to http://www.marcjohns.com/
He is a genius, really!
I want to buy his book :>
And also the Soulpancake book.

I have nothing to talk about these days,
except I think I might be going crazy and I am trying to make myself an organizer for 2011!

(2011 is going to be no joke.)

2010-12-24T20:06:00.000-08:00

"Are you happy?"
"Yes I am happy!"
"Are you really, really happy?"
"Yes I am really, really happy. And I am happy a lot!"

Merry Christmas everyone :-)

2010-12-18T03:37:00.000-08:00

Hiiiii I am back from Bintan^^

I was back on Wednesday night actually
And...Bintan was awesome!
I use the word "awesome" a lot but I mean it

I love the concept of Clubmed,
it's like a huge "village" where everyone "knows" each other
All the staff were really young and came from different places
like Japan, Mauritius, France etcetra.
And their jobs as General organizer (or was it officer) require them to socialize with you
I wanted to work there for a moment, until I realized it was kind of difficult
Because you have to keep meeting and talking to new people
We had dinner with a Korean lady called Sora and David from Mauritius

This is Sora!

Hehe and Kayaking/Tennis/Sailing/Table Tennis/Swimming/Lazing at the beach!
It was a 3D2N lepak party hahahahaWe joined the Teensclub for half a day, there were some Australians and Malaysians.
But we quit because they wanted to make us join some performance
I ESCAPED AS SOON AS I COULD
(okay la actually I escaped after floating around with them in the sea for half a day haha)They intended to make me some main character where I dance with this gangly boy and I have to hold his hand HELL NOOOOOOOOO hahaha

Ohyesssss the best part of Clubmed is
FREE FLOW OF FOOOOOOOOOOOD
I love it love it love it love it love it
Breakfast: Buffet
Lunch: Buffet
Dinner: Buffet
HAHAHA and in between meals you can just grab a snack/drink/cocktail
My goodness, I ate to my heart's delight and my body's gain in mass
HAHA shit I seriously ate a lot, even my mom was in awe

This was lunch on a "I am in control" day

I make myself hungry

I slept on this awesome bed, haha
We could see/hear the sea from our room (!!!)

The other bed, although my bed's still the most comfortable :-D

We were picking shells from the beach,
and I decided to take this photo.
That was when I realized I had a hermit crab walking on my hand.
HAHAHA and that all the shells on the beach were actually hermit crabs -.-
I threw the hermit crab as far as I could in my state of shock, whoops

This was part of the beach actually,

there's a forest behind!
I was standing on the side by the water and the sand collapsed under my weight
HAHAHA heavyweight champion!!!!

I like blue skies (Y)
I woke up at 6am every day because the sun rises really early!
By 6am, it would be as bright as Singapore's 9/10am.

And...those are my new glasses

I lost my old glasses after the friendly match with Sengkang :-(

My photography skeeelz not baaaaad right!

It was a good holiday hehe :-)

Hi jamal if you are reading this,

this is what you missed hahaha

(L) I love this picture and the people inside it hahaha

Back from China!

I was back on Monday actually ^^

10 days without using the Internet and my phone,

purging all the toxins~~

The trip was alrighty, quite fun.

I especially loved the nights we spent in the hotel rooms

Watching Bones/Grey's anatomy while snacking on Ice Lemon Tea Lays

Exercising (we were dead serious about it okay, MGopi would be proud of us)

Blowing bubbles and playing the Bubble game Caryl invented

Having a drawing competition

HAHAHAHAHA we were laughing damn loudly every night
Didn't help that our rooms were between Wang Lao Shi and the tour guide
They complained that we were vvv noisy hahahaha

The itinerary was fun for the first few days,
but the last few days were terrible.
Museums, museums, museums
On the very last day I was sneaking in Ice cream and crapping out stuff for Caryl and Linfei about the artefacts

I had a good time, bonding session with Caryl Elizabeth and Xiaowei haha
We had some epic times, hahaha

Caryl and I had a 6 hour long conversation during the flight back
HAHAHA but we cannot remember anything
Next time I don't want to talk to her already, pointless
Keeedeeengz, ^^ I can remember some stuff la

I can't remember where we were except that the pagodo behind us is called the Xiao Yan Ta

and that we jumped into the hole in the bushes hahaha

The following two photos were due to my ingenuity

(okay ego much)
HAHAHAHA while we were visiting the terracotta warriors,

the guide there said that if you looked closely, you'd be able to find your own face amongst the thousands of statues because the people who carved them were also models
(If I knew what people who carved statues were called, this explanation would be much easier haha)

So when we arrived at this place,
I was kidding that Caryl looked like one of the statues.
Holycow we really found two statues that looked like Elizabeth and Xiaowei

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA seriously I am not even joking

HAHAHAHA Striking resemblance
"Xiao wei you look like this"
"It's a rock that looks like a tear drop!!!!!"
HAHAHAHAHA

This is really good ^^ HAHAHAHHAHA

PS Carelle if you're reading this, wait for your photo to submerge
I am still too lazy to load my pictures hahahaha
Sorry I'm not swift like you

Okay but I will also load my pervy picture for you laaaa neahehehe

WHOOOOHOOOO AND GUESS WHO FINALLY HAS A FUJI INSTAX
^^ Early christmas present from my dad
We decided on brown in the end!
Aiya but colour doesn't matter to me, colours are awesome

BBB friends I love Sam Tsui (L)

Life's lessons
Probably going to sound cliche, but cliches are cliches because they are true

Blood is thicker than water (HAHAHAHA okay sorry this is an idiom)
When you are tired and weak, all you need is a home with people you love. If life was a ship, your friends would be the company you have but your family is the anchor that brings you back to earth. Family comes first, at least for me!

When it comes to friends, Quality > Quantity
I am happy to have made new friends that I can fall back on, friends who make laugh, friends who do stupid things with me, all in this short span of 10 months. Not forgetting the old friends who have watched me grow. Friends, I love you all and thank you very very very much for everything you have done for me, with me
Life is never, and will never be perfect or smooth-sailing.
The secret to being happy is learning how to love what you have to do and don't forget that the best things in life are free, and how the simplest things made you the happiest person on earth when you were younger.

Always find room in your heart to forgive
Everyone is only human (hahahaha actually I realized some of us here might be aliens but let's just assume) and it is only human to make mistakes.

Your mind is a magnet.
Happy thoughts attract happy people, sad people attract sad people and the list goes on~
You are the average of the five people you hang out most with. You are in control of what you become, so choose your thoughts (and friends) wisely!

We are not so different from each other
Everyone has something to teach you and give to you, but only if you give them the chance. Receive with an open heart and .

You make choices, but in the end your choices make you.

Laugh at everything and nothing, just because laughing makes you feel good.
Laughing at yourself works too

9 and 10 are lessons for me to know and for you to find out,
Hahahaha but you know the real reason (-:
I will add it in when I feel inspired again hahaha

Sounds a little crazy, but for now I don't want school to ever end
2011 is going to be so hectic Idonotwanttothinkaboutit
It's going to zoom past even faster than this year
and...that's it
The end of your junior college days.

Girls will be going to university, boys will be going to the army and become men
Everybody will be going their separate ways, with some friends going overseas.
That's so sad.
We're all going to be adults in a few years time, and I still feel like a 12 year old

I don't want to grow up.
No more excuses for being stupid or screwing up.
Having to take responsibility for yourself and possibly for other people.
Being a mature and responsible adult is such a daunting task.
And I don't know whether I'm ready
But I hope I will be able to become who I want to be-
a good person.

2010-11-11T23:22:00.000-08:00

There is always, always, always something to be thankful for

Self-training with Hanissa, Khaing Zin, Yingyin and Yuhui today.
(Y) I like
But hitting gives you blisters and blisters are painful :'(
I'm going to become good one day, just watch me!!!!!
Revelation of the day:
Hanissa, Khaing Zin and I always end up going to Burger King, somehow
"Budget budget budget"
Too funny already, hahaha I cannot take it.

On our way to the bus interchange,
Hanissa and I overheard two girls discussing global warming.
And we were like "We should do that too!"

Dionne: So what do you think is the cause of global warming?
Both of us: ME!!!!!
Hanissa: That conversation lasted like two seconds
HAHAHAHA

I cannot believe my life as a J1 is ending
Can't believe 10 months have passed since I asked Abeagle Tang "J1 or JI"
That's terrible

2010-11-11T08:03:00.000-08:00

2010-11-10T06:32:00.000-08:00

Why didn't the Chicken cross the road?

After my dental appointment ended at 3pm today,
I had to cross over to the other side of the road to catch the bus.

But instead of crossing the road, I decided to walk to the next bus stop

When I reached the next bus stop, I decided to continue walking

and finally decided I would try to walk home from Kovan to Pasir Ris.

Because...

I felt like it, and I've never tried.

So why not right?

HAHAHAHAHAHA what I discovered was,

THERE IS NO FRICKIN' WAY TO WALK FROM KOVAN TO PASIR RIS,

UNLESS YOU WALK ON THE EXPRESSWAY WITH ZOOMING CARS

I decided I walked too far ahead to go all the way back,

So I continued on the footpath until I reached Sengkang, wtf.

HAHAHAHA by then I had already walked for an hour

But I was so happy that I reached civilization,

because there was so much, in fact, too much vegetation along the expressways.
(I was looking out for colonies of ants on the footpath when I walked into a low-lying branch)

But I realized I had no clue where I was,

HAHA the nearest LRT station was kangkor???

No seriously, what the frick is that????

and then I walked to the next LRT station which also had a village-sounding name.

I realized I didn't know where the LRT would bring me, the names all sound so obscure.

So I followed a sign all the way to North Vista Secondary!

I was so happy that I finally recognized a building,

and I took 89 home.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It was quite an adventure, I must say!

Felt like I wasn't in Singapore anymore, rather liberating and relaxing actually.

I climbed into some fields hahahaha,

but I didn't dare to explore the lalang fields.

Looked too much like a jungle, and I didn't have a phone

(didn't feel like bringing it out, too bothersome)

and what if I got injured right?

Quite rational eh?

Although I must confess the main deterrent was the gigantic yellow bug that was flying around.

But if you saw a girl wearing a "Team St Nicks Netball" shirt scrambling up slopes,

that would be me hahahaha

It was all good until I walked past this gate-thingy nearer to Sengkang.

And I suddenly heard barking.

I was wearing surround-sound earphones, mind you

I froze and I saw three stray dogs behind the gate.

I nearly died.

And you can be sure that I started walking a lot faster and turning back to check that the dogs weren't following me with each step I took

HAHAHAHA I can laugh about it now but at that point in time I was really afraid that they would chase me.

That would have been a nightmare

I think I might be visting the fields again,

haha but with a camera, company and proper footwear.

God, do the blisters on my feet hurt.

Let your Head rule over your Heart sometimes, Dionne

Pictures from Ikea (Monday)

My new PW group

HAHA getting drunk @ home.
Ikea is where we belong.
I wore the "cape" all the way until we left.
I was about to buy it, until I realized.....

it was two bibs stuck together :-(
HAHAHAHAHAHA the bib was for the frickin' stuffed animals

and I wore it for hours without knowing.
The only thought I had that was close to realizing,

was "Why is this cape asymmetrical"
I was really disappointed

Meatballlllz nomnomnom

HAHAHAHA We carried Mr Otter (Kengsiang) everywhere we went

After OP on Monday (which marked the end of PW till forever!!!!!!),

I amalgamated with Abigail's PW group hahaha

and went to eat at Ikea with Abigail Emily Jonathan Priya Sheryin!
It was fun playing make-believe-

cooking otters for dinner, eating otters for dinner, waiting for Abigail to finish showering on a rocky toilet bowl, and calling our plumbers cause the taps didn't work.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Stuff like that.

But what I enjoyed most was being pushed around in a trolley by Abigail

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I was shouting "GO MOMMY GO!!!!!" in a gay voice

and she went "ni gen wo bi zui" HAHAHAH

Vvvvv fun, I was trying to sneak stuff into our trolley without her noticing.

Didn't work though, a vvv alert parent

Plan Ikea is going to take place soon ^^,

after I freeze my ass off in China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-11-08T22:34:00.000-08:00

We are sexy beasts

2010-11-05T20:36:00.000-07:00

"Charlie?"
“Uh-huh?”
“Uh-huh.”
“You know what I mean?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Are you nervous?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Don’t be nervous.”
“Okay."

I'm gonna be fine
Everything is going to be Over with a Capital O on Monday!

2010-11-03T05:22:00.000-07:00

Tried to reach deep, but you couldn't get in
When you reach the end of the rope, tie a knot and hang on.

2010-11-02T06:29:00.000-07:00

Reading the papers is depressing
Murder, rape, hit-and-run
No wonder they say no news is good news.

I cannot understand how a human is able to take the life of another human.
Humans have so much potential, but it's frightening what we can be capable of.
Can they not see that life is precious? And that it should not be squandered?

All these youths with warped morals,
looking for the wrong things in the wrong places.
Nobody seems to know the difference between right and wrong anymore.

"You must not lose faith in humanity.
Humanity is an ocean, if a few drops of the ocean are dirty,
the ocean does not become dirty."

On a much much much lighter note,
HAHAHAHAHAHA I was just thinking if I were a Pubby,
I would probably look like that.

Paper bag puppets + Bertrand = HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bertrand (gay voice): "hiiiiiiiii"
Abigail (gay voice)" "hiiiiiiiiiii"
Bertrand (inserts bitch face): "Only I can make that voice"
He's hilarious

ANYWAY HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY CHUNG HONGZHENG!
(if you ever see this)

Yeah, I can finally hit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today was a good training :-)

2010-10-31T06:41:00.001-07:00

I had a delightful weekend,

spent time with The Family :>

Shopping for winter clothing with The Mom today-
I'm going away from the 19th to the 29th!
It's going to be fffffreezing in Xi an, slightly above 3 degrees!
What have I signed myself up for?
10 days of freezing cold!
Pray and hope my nose doesn't fall off,

I don't want to end up looking like.......

Yes, him. Voldemort.
I just googled "Why doesn't Voldemort have a nose".
Ha-ha, bet you didn't know why either.

Answer: "Through the destruction of his soul and bodily transfigurations from the creation of Horcruxes, Voldemort's body was damaged, causing a snake-like flattened nose."

Mothers are the wisest people on Earth, cross my heart.
I'd be happy if I grow up to be like my mom.

2010-10-31T06:16:00.000-07:00

Congratulations, Limin Chua!
This is probably old news,

but I never had a doubt that you'd get your H3 econs!
You have been so diligent and consistent this whole year,

that seriously if you didn't get your H3, I would be like
"omgwtfareyoukiddingme"

I know that even without me telling you to, you'd study hard :>

I should probably take my own advice.

And...Sarah, my wabbit!!!! ^^
Okay la to be honest this news was a bit surprising HAHAHAHA

Cause she kept telling me she got S and Us,

but nevertheless, proud of you my pet rabbit!

2010-10-29T07:17:00.000-07:00

Conversation is a terrain to be fought over, a power struggle but also an open sesame:
asking the right questions produces instructive answers, clues as to what comes next.

Day Five of O levels,
Go St Nicks!!!!

2010-10-27T10:21:00.000-07:00

my heart beats fast but the clock ticks slowly/ you could be my one and only/ as anticipation beckons/ I feel the thrill of 30 seconds

2010-10-27T04:34:00.001-07:00

What's wrong with being you?
You don't have to live up to the world's standards.

I'm telling you, you only know what you think you know until you don't know nothing anymore

“We’re young. We don’t need a boy to love, hold and kiss. We won’t always be able to relax and be kids, but we’ll always be able to love. So I’m gonna get out there and live it up in this world, leave my mark, make a difference, because in five years we will want to rewind, but we can’t. So stop worrying about that boy, now is the time of our lives, let’s make mistakes and not care, and memories that will never fade. Live it up and live it crazy. We are only young once, let’s screw this up right.”

2010-10-26T07:36:00.000-07:00

You lose, you always lose.

We had an introduction to Chemistry week today.

They decided to set a gummy bear on fire (it glowed pink)

After the lights were off,

Mr Tan: "MUAHAHAHAHA DIE GUMMY BEAR DIE"
After the lights were back on,

Mr Tan: "That was its final moment of glory"

Then Changseon volunteered to do some experiment.

Miss Goh: "For this experiment, we will only need you and hydrogen"

(Changseon looks around to see what he has to do)

Miss Goh: "Don't worry! You will get your moment of glory later"
Me: OHNO They're gonna burn changseon. I wonder what flame he'll give off.

Abi: Smelly flame.

HAHAHAHA okay LHL :-(

But we really almost died laughing
Abisnail and I are weird kids with a warped sense of humour

2010-10-24T02:06:00.000-07:00

"Let me tell you something you already know

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows

It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life

But it ain't how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.

How much you can take, and keep moving forward.

That's how winning is done.

Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth.

But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody.

Cowards do that, and that ain't you.

You're better than that."

Awesome friday night out with Jayme Chan (L)
(Inserts pictures that have yet to be uploaded)

Three hours is not enough for us to catch up!
Anyway, after those three hours,
we officially decided that......I am a bitch
HAHA :-(

Ohyes, and we also agreed
St Nicks was truly a beautiful place.
Read Weiqing's "You know what I mean" @ http://www.rictusempraa.wordpress.com/
Sums up perfectly what I feel towards St Nicks.
Even if you are not from St Nicks, reading Weiqing's blog won't kill you.
She. Is. The. Most. Epic. Person. Ever.
Miss having her in school, so happy I met her briefly on Sunday :>

Oh anyway, Abigail and I went fishing (again!)
HAHAHA I am becoming better at it,
I caught two guppies WAHAHAHA Come to me fishies.
I'm gonna be a ring master and train a fish circus like Mr. B
We almost got caught, because one of the orange fishies jumped out of the cup
.......and into the drain

We wanted to save it from the depths of the longkang using Woonki's fencing sword HAHAHAHA But we realized we might kill it :-/
The caretaker uncle kept staring at me, hahaha I had the cup of 10 fishes suspiciously hidden behind my back.
Somehow, we managed to escape, but v v v frightening experience though.
We thought we were gonna get scolded.
If we were issued a white slip it would be (almost) as epic as Yuhui's for bringing the hamster into the library HAHAHA

Wow wow wow Mr Otter/John Lim (HAHAHA) got first for 400m,

I want to see the "ex-national badminton champion"/#1 bullshitter play badminton HAHA

Story of my life.

Why am I in Hockey?
Why did I join Hockey?
Hockey is not my sport seriously, terribulous at it

I feel like declaring tomorrow a Holly Day,

It's going to be a v v long day aaaaaaaaaaaniyo

2010-10-11T09:28:00.000-07:00

FOR MY OWN VIEWING PLEASURE:
HAHAHA I realized that so many of my blog posts are damn retarded.
But the good thing about my retarded posts is that they remind me of all the funny things that I forgot about (ohnose the tumblr thing is true shitzu)
And ohmy, I just realized so many of our jokes are really crude, but I like~
HAHAHAHAHAHA it's terribly funny (to me) all these excerpts from my old blog posts hahahaha.
I feel like I'm in St Nicks again

1)
Huai Chyn: "Anybody got pad?"
Dionne: "Terrapin"
Everybody stun.
HAHAHAHA I heard it as pet what the crap.

2)
Gymgirls: 挤牛奶啊，挤牛奶!
Sinhong: 挤你的奶啦！
HAHAHAHAHA I miss seeing Sinhong (table tennis captain~),
even though I don't even really know her haha, she's such a QT and funny person!

3)
Qing's father was typing an email to his boss.
osjdkasjdk281u3jmsjksdaksdjakjdkadjasaskdjaksasdads

At the end, he wrote..
FYI,.....Jacky Chan. (BTW HER DAD IS REALLY CALLED JACKY CHAN HAHA)

Then the Boss summoned her father to his room, and scolded him like hell.
"WHY YOU SCOLD ME FXCK YOU IDIOT?!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA HOLYCRAP

4)
Mag: Sng Ying you damn Ahlian lah
Sng Ying: Eh you don't like that lah, I don't mind you call me retarded can, but don't call me Ahlian lah!
I MISS THESE 2 RETARDS HAHAHAHAHA

5)
Gloria Koay: I like to drip water on ants to irritate them.
Then I'll drip a circle of water around them.
Nat: But they can swim!
Gloria Koay: When they start to swim, I tend to drown them
HAHAHA :-( LUCKY THEM, THEY STILL SAME CLASS, WHAT ABOUT ME.
WE MUST RMB TO GO TO NAT'S CLUBHOUSE TO ROLL AND LAUGH HAHAHA

6)
Sembawang Secondary's coach (his head is damn shiny) = SSC

Melissa's classmate was like "You got no talent. You should change sport"
Later on he even came up with a rhyme for me
"Hello little dame,
asdalsdkasIreallycan'trememberthecontent"
I think he himself had a hard time remembering the words too
But I remember it was to tell me that Tennis is not a game for everyone HAHA wth

ANYWAY GO LISTEN TO
-DAMIEN RICE'S AMIE
-I WON'T BE FOUND BY THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH

I just realized that even though my clock says 1:36am, it is actually only barely past midnight.
No wonder Fadhil said that I was lousy for sleeping so early, I thought it was going to be one when I said bye to him! HAHAHA Ohwellz

I am a happy kidddddd

2010-10-11T06:53:00.000-07:00

pochemuchka (Russian): A person who asks a lot of questions

Do you ever feel like you have to explore every inch of this planet you are living in,

and discover all there is to find out in this world?

I wonder where my sudden thirst for knowledge came from,
I have never been so curious in my life.
All of a sudden, I want to know about so many things.

I almost borrowed a book on Philosophy today.

(I know what you're thinking, what the heck is wrong with you?)
(But you know what, I might just borrow it tomorrow)

My mom has been bombarding me with the same question every day since the start of 2010,
and I still do not have a proper answer to her question.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I really should be thinking about what I want to be,

after all university is just two years away.
But I really do not know.

My only answer was that I want to be ordinary.
I don't have to be famous, and I don't have to make a big difference in the world.
I don't want to merely exist, I want to live

I am content with life now, let's just hope it stays this way :>

For now Dionne, you have to focus on being less embarassing.
I think that's something you have to deal with for the rest of your life hahaha

2010-10-08T09:17:00.000-07:00

Those who win will lose the love they sought to gain

Abi, Aravin. Bra. Jamal, Kenmin, KengSiang, Kevin, Vivien and I went out haha.
It was kind of a random group of friends, but it was fun :-)

Watched Buried after dinner :>
It wasn't really my kind of movie.
I would have usually picked a soppy but forgettable movie that makes me laugh,
but it was a good change.

We spent over an hour with Ryan Reynolds in a coffin.
I was like "whaaaaat"and the movie made me feel really claustrophobic.
Almost felt like I was in a coffin myself.
I do not want to end up in a coffin underground unless I am dead.

The ending was disappointing, but only because I was expecting him to survive and reunite with his family, and somehow everything would be okay.
Alll/most movies have happy endings; but that never happens in reality.
In fact, some humans you meet are probably far more scheming, their thoughts ten times more vile and complex than the antagonists in movies.
It's different, but I guess it's not a bad thing
Because honestly, if an American truck driver was really stuck in a coffin 6 feet underground, he probably wouldn't have survived.

Then I was thinking, there must have been some truth in the plot right?
Iraqis probably do kidnap American civilians in a moment of desperation,
and more often than not the Americans probably die because giving in to the demands isn't an option.
If the government gave in, it wouldn't stop the kidnapping, it would only spur on the kidnapping.
I've never ever really thought about what was going on in Iraq.
I just realized how ignorant and oblivious I am :-/
"911 was not my fault, but you are here. Saddam was not my fault, but you are here"
Easier said than done, but if people would just accept their differences, accept that nobody is perfect, forgive and move on, the world would be a better place.

And Ryan Reynolds cut off his own little finger in the movie,
it was damn gross :-(
But the act was moving.
The Iraqis probably wouldn't have been able to find his wife and son,
but he was willing to go through unnecessary pain just to make sure they were safe.
The power of love is amazing.
I don't understand it yet, but it amazes me how my mom knows exactly when I'm lying,
what I'm thinking, and she truly believes I look nice in a photo that is repulsing to look at.
I find it so weird that she knows everything about me, all the experiences I had,
but I don't know her like she knows me.

This post was not intended to sound as sad as it is hahaha.
I was just, thinking :-)

2010-09-24T07:28:00.000-07:00

I had three weeks to blog and I didn't feel like it.
But three days before my promotional exams and here I am.

I realized that my teachers are actually quite adorable.
When I told Mrs Yeo that I was afraid that I couldn't promote today,
and she told me "Won't la Dionne, you are starting to become more serious".
HAHA kjdkskajda pray and hope I turn that smile upside down.
I don't want another U for Biology.

I HATE CHEMISTRY I HATE CHEMISTRY.
I got 27% for my mock promo paper.
Holymotherofgod my paper was blank.
I couldn't even try to copy anybody's answers because I was sitting next to Mr. Otter and Ruofan and both their scripts were as blank as mine. HAHAHA
I was so pathetic that Miss Goh wrote "good" when I managed to write a balanced ionic equation I want secondary school chemistry back, haha Mrs Poon + A1 + NALDAC ohyeah~

:-) Miss Jacob's really sweet in a random way.
I received a messaged from her last night that said
"Hey how r u? Hope life^s treating you well. Take care"
Awwww QT right, bet she was touched that I messaged her on Teacher's Day.
And Mrs Lee texted Vanessa "56 whales stranded on New Zealand beach. I miss Whale Rider days. Karanga mai karanga mai"
HAHA Rawiri and Nanny flowers.

Ohman I miss SN.
Funny how all the embarassing times seem so memorable now

Like the time Weiqing and I went up on stage in front of the whole freaking school to do the "che ling" thing because we wanted to support Shushien HAHAHAHAHA. I wanted to die after I tried because it was damn freaking hard. Terrible 3 seconds of fame, and everyone was like "Excuse me, but WTF were you thinking?!?!?!"

In Secondary 2 when we had to do a Bhangra dance in front of the whole school because we won the competition (thanks to Gloria and Cathleen and many recesses spent in the MPR2) hahaha and I couldn't remember all the steps so I was just copying Brenda so I was so much slower than the rest. I would later realize that all the netballers were laughing at me hahahaha even Jasmine. Spazzzzz.

When Jayme and I decided to switch pinafores for one period, and we were too lazy to walk all the way to the toilet so we changed at the stairwell. We weren't able to put our pinafores back on in time when Adrian Wong walked past and went, "Girls, can you change at more appropriate places" hahaha

Brenda and I did really badly for a math test and we were so depressed we went to hang around in the toilet literally. Hahahaha we held on to the top part of the cubicle door and screamed. Then we laughed till we nearly died because it was so absurd hahaha. Very therapeutic actually :>

And stupid Brander lied to me about which hotel we were staying over at after Prom.
Bra: "We decided to book Hotel 81 cause it's damn cheap compared to Ritz Carlton."
Me: "Huh.....isn't that like the place where people go for sex?"
Bra: "No, I went to check the website already. They have this special level for people who go there for sleeping not sex. Less than one hundred dollars for one night"
Me: "But.....huh seriously?"
Bra: "Yeah they will change bedsheets after every hotel stay one la don't worry"
Me: "Okay la....but IthinkIwillneedtobringspermicidesandasleepingbaghahaha"

I'm really tired from thinking now
And I really really really miss the netballers (and our juniors)
Michelle and I decided we will go back to play a friendly against them hahaha.
After promos of course

Goodnight luv :-)

2010-09-02T06:04:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged in quite a whileee.
Nothing much has happened recently.
Teacher's Day at Raffles was a b-o-r-e
Honestly, cross my heart.
Even though Teacher's Day at SN wasn't particularly memorable
(we took really long to remember what we did), I'm quite sure it wasn't this bad.

HAHA The good thing was that we ended at 9:30am.
That's what I love about Raffles, all the lovely little holidays we declare.
The SN girls dawdled about writing cards for our teachers
(I even took a picture with Glenn's face), and we promptly reached there at 11.
It took a while for the rest of the people to stream in,
but I was so happy to see everyone! Missed them so :>
And the teachers (L)

It's not really the ones that you are damn close to that you miss.
Because you still meet up with them frequently.
It's the people that you like but didn't have the chance to get to know better.
If you get what I mean.

But even though it felt like home, somehow it felt kind of different.
Maybe it was knowing I didn't belong there anymore.
I don't know how to explain it but it just is.

Studied with Limin at Tully's after that.
I missed her, haven't seen her in such a long while!
The photo she tagged me in was really apt,
even though we don't talk on the phone, and I always reply your texts late,
when we meet we always talk like we used to
Enjoyed talking to you, even though our conversations were damn sick HAHAHA ^^
-

Life in Raffles has been same old, same old.
Sometimes I wish I was in a different class :-/
I'm dreadfully grateful for Abigail and Keng Siang,
(HONESTLY THANK GOD FOR THE SNAIL HAHAHA)
but sometimes I just wish I had more classmates I can click with.

I guess 3/4Hope 2010 set the standards too high.
Hahahaha it was such a crazy dramatic fun angsty class with so much energy and laughter.
Every lesson was so wild, hahahaha all the acting like Whale Riders and singing Math formula songs out loud. (Miss those days, seriously)
Nowadays I'm just kind of waiting for my lessons to end.
Kind of sucks that my energy just wanes in class and I feel so dead
I don't do it intentionally. I try, but I just can't click with them.
Ohwellzzzzz, at least I have a snail and an otter in class ^^
and other friends I like outside of class!

Went home with Grandmaster Ninja.
And we were talking about how fake some people are.
It's true.
I mean there was fakes in SN, but in JC (I'm sure it's everywhere, not just Raffles) it really hits you how many hypocrites there are in school.
You have to sieve out, who your true friends are and who aren't.
I'm glad I know who my true friends are, but I feel so sad for those who don't.
I don't really understand why people are the way they are.
Humans are confusing to me.

I recently got back the feeling that I had when I was studying for O levels.
The excitement of learning something.
I actually really like learning new things,
but I don't really like cramming for examinations.
Kind of takes the enjoyment out of learning.

Note to self:
Two funny things to remember
1) Abigail Tay never fails to make my day
Abigail: "There was a bird outside my window eating a chicken wing. It was on my roof and it was damn irritating. So..."
Dionne: "You took a gun and shot it"
Abigail: "Yes...but I used a water gun to shoot at it."
Dionne: "HOLYMOLEYHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWTH"
Abigail: "And it started pecking at my window so I punched the window"
Dionne: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

And I died.
Honestly there are lots of conversations that I have with her that are damn hilarious.
HAHAHA

Another one (can't really remember this though)

Dionne: "That guy there bought like a damn big piece of I dunno what leg"
Abigail: "Is it from a cow?"
Dionne: "No."
Abigail: "I know already. It's the chicken feet!!!!!!!!!"
Dionne: "No it's not chicken."
Abigail: "IT IS!!!!!!!!!"
Dionne: "HAHAHAHAHA HELLO! Chicken feet how skinny!?!?!"
Abigail: "HAHAHAHAHA OHYA. THEN IT MUST BE THE WING!!!!!!"
Dionne: "HAHHAAHAHAHA HELLO IF IT WAS A WING I WOULD HAVE SAID IT WAS A CHICKEN WING"

I should do this more often hahaha, memories~

At YOG Hockey:
Host: "Okay, I need three volunteers from each side of the spectator's stand to play Hockey!"
Three small malay boys go up.
It starts raining.
Host: "It's raining, so we have to change our challenge. Now....the challenge is *suspense* TO SEE WHO CAN FINISH DRINKING A BOTTLE OF WATER THE FASTEST!"
Three SMBs: "We can't....we're fasting"
OMG HAHAHAHA FAIL
The match just started in the end.

2) Kimberlyn points to (I know who) and says
"Would you believe that he is not fat and just damn buff?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"I think he was fat...then he train to become mus...No la I think he is just fat"

Things I am currently interested in:

Graphology, the study of handwriting
Kaleidoscopes
Getting my ugly Primary 6 passport photo back from Hong zheng. (I didn't realize he took it from my wallet I need to be more alert)

I realize I did have quite a lot of things to talk about
Goodnight (-:

2010-08-20T10:01:00.000-07:00

There are too many things that I haven't done yet
Too many sunsets I haven't seen
You can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You would've thought by now, I'd have learned something

I want to live in the country, in a huge house.
Then I can have some farm animals, grow my own vegetable garden.
And there'd be flowers blooming in my garden.
I think I'd be terrified of the animals at first though,
takes me a long time before I'm not frightened of them.
(Abisnail says I don't look like a "scared" person, but I am, really)

Imagine riding a bicycle up to the hills, with the wind blowing in your face.
And when you reach the top, you can climb trees, fly a kite and have a picnic.
At night, you would see so many stars in the sky because it'd be dark.
In the city it's never really dark, when it's dark

No jostling in busy streets,
plenty of parking spaces and a stress-free life.
Sounds good to me

Youth Olympics
Of hot bods and faces you could stare at all day long
I wish I could stay at home and watch YOG like Brander Na.
I realized that swimmers have really nice bodies.
And China guys can be handsome too

The lucky bastards Kevin and Fadhil get to interact with all of them
While I am stuck in school, looking like a hobo
At least training was vvvvvvv fun today! :-D
I wonder how their first match went, against powerhouse Australia!
HAHA I think they will be thrashed.

I am so happy that SPA is over

2010-08-13T20:39:00.000-07:00

The strongest souls are seared with scars

I fasted for a day yesterday!
I drank water, which is cheating actually.
BUT STILL, no food whatsoever for 14hours.
Haha how muslims do without water, I have no idea :>
Awesome stuff.
One day I will fast with Aravin again!
And break fast with Ninja "Racial Harmony!"

Yesterday, Abigail and I decided to go fishing in the Biodiversity pond in school.
We headed off with plastic cups.
Abigail is good at a lot of things.
What the heck, she managed to catch 2 guppies!
They're really pretty.
All I caught was a tiny little fish that I named Ikan hahaha.
Claire, Pubby and her classmates joined us for awhile.
skjaksdj pictures another day!!!!!!!

After that, I went out for dinner @ Northpoint with Eileen and Gloria.
Tonnes of fun, haven't seen them in 1million years.
(Okay actually I met them on Tuesday but still)
I embarassed myself again.
I didn't zip my bag up, and when we walked past Eileen's friends they kept staring.
Then we were like wondering why they kept staring and laughing.
IN THE END WE FOUND IT WAS BECAUSE MY BAG WAS RIGHT OPEN HAHAHA
Embarassing, but I am.....used to it HAHAHA
Laughed a lot as usual :-D
Love you v much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life has been too good, too good these days.

Studying time now, goodbye!

2010-08-09T07:51:00.000-07:00

As much as I love school now,
I still miss
many of my SN friends.
I still meet up with the clique on a sort of regular basis but
I don't get to meet up with all of my other friends frequently,
which is quite sad indeed.

Talking to Abigail on FB makes me miss the SN days.
But I'm not sad, yknow?
It's actually a happy feeling,
knowing I spent my days with so much laughter and happiness

HAHA I remember laughing a lot when I sat beside Abigail
We were always laughing about the silliest things

Like "NALDAC", an acronym I made up to help myself remember how to draw and name esters.
I can't remember anything I learnt during that chemistry lesson, or why it was so funny, except that we burst out laughing and couldn't stop hahahaha. We would try to control our laughter for a moment but once the word NALDAC was spoken, we would start laughing again.

I used to throw Oinkletletotosis at her every day because I knew she hated it. "It emits heat, I hate it!!!!!!! I hate you" and I always drew weird squiggly lines on her worksheets (in pencil, of course. I think if I wrote it in pen, she would cry) and she would erase them being the perfectionist that she is.

HAHAHAHAHA Okay memories~
Makes me happy knowing we're having a 4Hope gathering tomorrow :>

Inception: the beginning, as of a project or undertaking

A little late, but
Blown away by Inception.
Movie of the year, seriously
Nothing short of stunning
It's like modern day Shakespeare
Plot within plot within plot within plot within plot
I didn't even realize how tense I was until the movie ended (Y)
The first syllable I breathed out was "Wow", which sums up the movie, really
No wonder the cinema was still almost fully packed two weeks after the movie started showing.

I don't even know where to start.
Everything was thought through so well!!!!!!
All the details were taken care of, even the names!
Ellen Page's name in the movie Ariadne was a greek goddess thought to be the "Mistress of the labyrinth"
It's perfect for her character because she created the settings for all the layers of dreams, which actually is a maze.

Even the movie title...........
So foreboding, ha-ha-ha, be warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
skajdkasdj I am flabbergasted

It isn't that difficult to understand the concept, because they explained it so clearly.
Though you have to pay attention to the details :>
Which is kind of refreshing actually, because it requires you to think.
I bet everyone who watched Inception will never fall asleep the same way again.

And you gotta love the cast
Leonardo Dicaprio/Joseph Gordon Levitt/Ellen Page
They have skeeeelz :>
Ohmy, I have to do more research on the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh by the way, Happy National Day!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-08-04T05:56:00.000-07:00

(I have no clue but you might......be the first in a long time)

2010-08-03T06:54:00.000-07:00

B&J Co. Gathering was major fun, can't believe we last met in January!
Hehehe luv brendadaphnegracejayme and YANYEE!
Miss seeing her ohmygosh, she is friggin' funny!!!!!!!! HAHAHA (L)
and everyone else.
I miss the days where we used to see each other everyday.

Why can't I meet everyone, everyday?
Haha like I should be able to meet all my RJ/SN friends at the same time.
My school life is ending, as Buffy <---- he thinks I look like a japanese act cute girl now reminded me.
Major sadness

xuekun is a unicorn,
I am a super mario mushroom.
Caryl is the oasis in my life
(we have no idea what's that but it sounds peaceful)
I think I acted like a brat just now

Pray and hope Ewan is okay!
and that ksjdkasjdkasd tomorrow will be a better day!!! :-)

2010-07-29T07:11:00.000-07:00

Today is a happy day!!!!!

Lessons were normal except for the fact that Keng Siang drew an ugly vampire smiley on my green bottle hahahaz

I went for my break with Carelle and Zaki :-D
It was funny, ohmygosh, Carelle is a spazz.
"One night I was sleeping, but I was organizing all my meetings in my sleep. And I woke up and I was happy. Because I finished planning everything."
HAHAHAHA Zaki and I were like just what the heck caryl is damn funny. HAHAHA
"What if the pig is willing to let you eat it?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Walao.
I should look for them more often.

I went hyper after I tried to lock Abisnail in the handicapped toilet by pushing the door in.
And she tried to douse me in water HAHAHA but she failed.
That's when I went crazy.
I decided to message Limin stupid things like
"You are a chocolate chip cookie that they want to eat. Pewpew they just shot you down and nomnomnom they are chewing on you."

Pewpew and nomnomnom are sounds that we have created for fun.

Go to liminchua's tumblr http://www.loadedsmile.tumblr.com/ for nice quotes haha

I told Barathan that I am allergic to the Sun and my own sweat and he laughed.
But it's the truth and only the truth.
He thinks I'm allergic to Chang Sun (HA HA HA)

"The aliens in my hair think that.....I should go away"
"How about you just shave your head and clear the aliens away"
"No, but then they will have no habitat. This is my home, it is where I belong"
"How retarded can she get?"
(Inserts Abigail's Spastic Smile)
HAHAHA I luv the spastic smile :>

Soon Barathan left and so did Keng Siang.
ajshdajsdh Ish came and he was a retard.
HAHA He decided to be average (mean) and distributed our pile of hockey sticks equally to the tables in the canteen.
One stick per table hahaha.
It was quite funny, and we also decided that I have no peripheral vision because my hair blocks the side of my face HAHA it is my joke btw >:-)

President of Boon Lay Youth Club Woo Wai Choong joined us for awhile toooooo, he is funny and witty haha.
Today I discovered the wonder of Cheng teng, I love the round squishy things.

When everybody left, I went off to the Hodge lodge with Bra Mali Seokun to play Ugly Doll!!!!!
Violence. HAHAHA I asked Jamal and Ashraf to join us and we owned them.
Soon Aravin came, then Fauzan and Julian and this guy called Daryl (?).
Kristel came too (-:
It was HOCKEY GIRLS VS THE RUGGERS (AND ASHRAF)
Ohmygoodness, they were damn freaking violent.
HAHAHA Julian just shoved me out of the circle and I had to squeeze my way back in.
He has no qualms about being violent.
"The downfalls of being buff"
But it was all v v v fun (-:

Training was quite fun too, I love hockey!!!!!

Even though I sucked but whatever I WILL IMPROVE!
I cramped at the end though.............hehekasjdkasjd

(L) And lastly the joy of new markers!!!!!!! + I finished my film for my disderi!
1 more day till I meet B&J Co, inclusive of Aminah/Yanyee :-D
2 more days till armyboi is back!

Pictures from meeting Limin Chua and brophe on Sunday!!!!

2010-07-27T06:34:00.000-07:00

I keep typing words and backspacing them.
And I finally decided that this is how I'm feeling

I need a jar of happy thoughts and a break from the world and a break from myself
(Why do I feel like I just lost a friend)
(When I'm not running I'm running from the thoughts in my head)
(I'm confused about what I want and what I don't)
(Tell me what makes sense and what doesn't)
(Just like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to ill)

I rolled on the pitch today because I tripped over the ground.
My foot got stuck on the strip and I rolled and I went "AAAAAAAAH" for about 5 seconds before I got up and continued playing hahaha it was quite funny indeed :>

2010-07-25T05:33:00.000-07:00

Got to meet some of my favourite people in the world today :>
Limin Chua and Mr. Army Boi.
Limin is such an understanding friend (L)
For once Limin overslept and was 30 minutes late today.
Since she was never late, I got quite worried and I decided to ask Yuhui about it.
I think Yuhui got quite worried too, she was like "Call her already tell me"
HAHAHA yeah anyway I had a wonderful time with her, just talking.
I miss being in the same school as you though lang.
Stay strong and always remember that we love you very much!

To quote Kevin, "like when you're with a certain group of people you just feel comfortable with and can show your true self".

L8r we had zoooooom all the way to the other end of Singapore.
My mom was pissed with me because it was kinda my fault that we were sorta late.
I haven't seen my brother in 2 weeks, and I was so happy to see him!
He's become so...mature after he went to the army.
He brought us around the place, and it was good :>

HAHAHAHAHA QUITE FUNNY WHEN HE TOLD US THAT THE TREES' SHAPE WERE QUITE CUTE AND I WAS LIKE..."Look a bit like my hair" and he was like "Ya haha I also thought so when I saw the trees" NOT BAD NOT BAD WE HAVE CHEMISTRY :-D

One more week till he comes back for less than 24 hours,
hope his hand heals swiftly!
