Unforgettable FOURTEEN
Sunday, July 22, 2007 at 3:00 PM
The ups and downs over the past week is so insignificant compared to what happened over a night.There are many many many thank-yous that i want to say to many many many people.
It was supposed to be a happy dinner celebration for all the JULY babies at NEW YORK NEW YORK-Citylink.However,sometimes things just don't turn out the way you wish it to.Before we even ordered our food,i lost my EZ-link.I din dropped it anywhere else,but right through the slits of the sofa seats we were at.It was like BLOODY!I mean it was such a coincidence,and the chairs are like crates.They had to be dismantled to retrieve my poor card,but it will take a lot of time and energy.
Well,what was most irritating was not the fact that i lost my precious card,but because of the lousy and sucky attitude of the manager himself.He sucks like a vacuum cleaner.I mean when he first came,he told us not to damage the seats,then he said he'll try to help us see.Soon after,he told us,i can call the carpenters,but we have to pay.I mean throughout the whole time,he was just telling us what we had heard and using some really unpleasant tone that a service crew should never adopt.
But,there are many many things that cheered me up.I really love 203 because the people,esp the guys have a caring and nice side too.
Here's some messages i want to tell everyone.The list is neither in order of merits nor in order of preferrence.
Evan: Thanks for comforting me and telling me not to worry.Thanks for the many pats on the shoulder and many many pleasant words said.Thanks for everything. :))
Michelle:Thanks Duckie for the many funny actions you did.The way you and Marcus interacted really brought smiles to my face.You were so alert to keep the menu when the dumb manager came.
Marcus:Thanks for helping in all ways.Using their menu to try to get the card and trying to use your hand to retrieve it.Thanks for reassuring me that anyone in our class will do their best to comfort one another.
Yoggie:Thank you for trying to squeeze your hand in,and trying to divert my attention to Harry Potter's ending.Thank you so much.
Kelun:Thanks for getting me the candy floss even though i din say anything about it.Thank you for checking out the opening hours of the replacement office.Thank you :))
Isaac:Thank you for trying to help put your hands in and sponsoring the scotch tape.Thank you for making me laugh because of the way you and Marcus behaved.
Weijie:Though you din say much,but thank you for treating me better yesterday.
Jerome:Thanks for going with Kelun to get me a candy floss.
Ghit Hong:Thank you for being concern and coming over and trying to help.
Jasmine:Thank you for helping me to check out the hotline and trying to find out the location of replacement office.
Thank you all the 10 of you for being so nice and helpful.I was really very very touched.Thank you for the 9 of you for giving Marcus lots of comments and opinions when he was sticking the chopsticks on the menu.Thank you all!
Thank you to 3 special people who weren't there but sent me smses or comforted me in another way.
Marilyn:TWINY.Thanks for sending me first-hand sms to ask of my situation.Thanks for volunteering to accompany me to replace the card.
David:Thanks for trying to cheer me up and volunteering to accompany me to make a new card.
Mum:Thanks Mum for helping me to call the restaurant to ask for an apology for the rude treatment.Thanks mum for helping me to ask for an explanation for the lousy service.Thanks for everything.
I am so COOL
Sunday, July 15, 2007 at 9:28 PM
Thank you to the lovely ones who showered care and concern for me over the past few days!BIG BIG THANKS to:
Evan:Thanks for being there and assuring me that it is not worth being stressed over school stuffs.Thank you so much.Honestly,i love your smiles very much.Really.
Marilyn&David:Thanks for 'reprimanding' for staying up late.Thanks for telling me to sleep early and encouraging me to rest more.Thank you so much for the much needed support over the past week.
Marcus:Thanks for telling me not to worry about Mushroom Devil's work.Thanks for everything(including taking over the planning).
I'm better now.The fever has subsided and everything is going on fine.Been sleeping for the whole of today so i am so energised now. :))
SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT OUT!
Saturday, July 14, 2007 at 9:22 PM
WEE is officially sick.Down with a sore throat,coughs,and a high fever of 38.8!Nevertheless,i am still going fine.Still being as lame and cheery as i had been.I'm feeling so sick now.I'm both physically and mentally drained.Well,it doesn't help much with the additional tonnes of Maths homework to do.The virus has been circulating around the class for a while and i just hope it stops here.
The situation din help much when i was waiting for 853.It is really a miserable feeling when you are sick and you have to wait a long time before you can get home.I was running a sudden high fever and decided to take a bus home so i need not walk.But it had to happen that i waited for an hour for the bus to come.It was a long long wait that got many of us pissed off and i really felt so angry.
Here's some SHOUT-outs and words i want to tell some people.
Evan:I'm sorry if you felt that i had been behaving weirdly and being very emotional.Well,i had to admit that i did ignore you and DUCKIE quite a bit.I'm sorry about that,and i really have to say it is unintentional.I was really stressed and couldn't accept the fact that i am very slow and stuffs in doing my homework.I'm really sorry,and i hope next week will be a better one.
Sister,we had not have our heart-to-heart chit chat session for a very long time.Let's do it as a time for break one day soon.
DUCKIE:I'm sorry for the same incident of ignoring you.I've told you about it when you smsed me and i'm sure you understand.But sometimes,i still feel a sudden urge to cry even in class.It is just a kind of feeling you get when you don't understand things.
TWINY:Thank you for the cheering up sessions.I really need them.Continue to be my listening ear and my shoulder,OKAY?You take care too,and we can probably go visit the counsellor together.
Marcus:Thanks for asking me whether i was alone in the library.Thank you for relentless explaining concepts to me over and over again.I admit i'm a little slow,so i need lots of attention.Thank you for helping me.I have to be honest to say that,i prefer one-to-one tuition.
DAVID:Thanks for cheering me up in a different manner.Yup yup.Be cheerful and think of the bright side.SMILE SMILE :)) I will consider that counsellor idea,but believe me,i am strong and fine.It is just a stage of life when i'm starting to accept stress.Don't waste your life away,and it's good to hear about your goals to join a club.GO GO GO!
"Success is not a destination,but a journey of life"
Stress is not a negative addition to life.It is but challenges that add spice to our life.We will be stronger when we challenge the challenges.
Let's cheer and spur each other on for the next 3 months plus before the major exams.
A break from the break
Friday, July 13, 2007 at 11:50 PM
A tiresome week it had been.Mugging,slogging and slaving my hearts out.It isn't only the work that stressed me,but also the environment.My mood has been going up and down,and to be honest,it's the first time.It was good being able to find a shoulder to lean on,someone to wipe your tears,and someone to walk around with you.It was a comforting feeling,it was like a beam of light in the midst of darkness.
I know i might had been a little emo and behaving weirdly.I didn't mean it,really.To whoever i might have hurt,it wasn't intentional.It was the kind of uncontrollable feelings within myself that caused it.It's my inability to control that causes that.
Took a small break today with TWINY.Was supposed to get presents for someone,but apparently,i've decided to ask others to do it.Bought something that i ultra love,and got to walk around with TWINY talking about serious stuffs.
We saw SARAH and some other YJcians.And,lucky me,met xf!It's only a week and i've seen you.Even though it was a short one week,MEINUs,i still miss you all. :))
TWINY and I went to try out some KOREAN foodie.We finally get a chance to eat RICE CAKE with Red PEPPERS after like a million years.It was very chewy and filling,and it isn't spicy at all.It has a unique tinge of sweet and yet spicyness.But it is really awfully nice.We had French Fries that doesn't look like one at all.And all i have to say is that,it is surprise after surprise.
SHOUT-outs:
Study Cliques:It's a miserable week for us all.And i'm sad to say that i can't bring myself to say anything motivating this week.I am stressed out by the speed at which i do things,and i can only say,we must persevere on.
TWINY:It's a nice long chat about our pasts.I've known you like a few levels deeper.It isn't the memory that we want to live us.So now,we have moved out of that shadow and we are stronger than what we used to be.I love you :))
David:Thanks for the tireless encouragement.Thanks for the relentless help.It's great having you around when i'm so stuck.Play hard for your match and do study hard too.It doesn't matter what others expect,it is what you expect.Your determination is much more important that their expectations.
MEINUs:Miss the ladies!Busy with your projects and stuffs?Don't be.I know you all have a life just like xf.Do take a break in the middle of the hectic schedules.But remember to draw yourself back when it's time. LOVE YOU GIRLS. :))
Perfectionists are always stretching themselves to the limits.But,by re-defining your point of perfection,it is actually a mystery.Perfection is nothing but the blinding of one's eyes from other people's flaws.
No matter what backgrounds we come from,no matter what we had done,no matter what our predecessors had done,no matter what our faiths are.We are all the same.We are all HUMANS.
RUSH HOUR
Sunday, July 08, 2007 at 10:28 PM
Today is like a rush-ing day.Been doing things at such a fast pace.It's just like doing a 32 tempo dance in 8 beats.Okay,that sounds a little exaggerating,but that's me.Yesterday passed very very fast.Probably because lazy me had been sleeping like the whole afternoon away and not doing any work.To be honest,i wanted to get started on Maths.But the moment i saw those papers,i really felt like puking and felt really really sick.MATHS is driving me sick and i'm losing all bit of passion in it.
Time passes real fast when you're slacking.Tomorrow will be a new start to a new week.
"Breath the fresh air of the morning and start your day with a wide smile."
I want to watch RUSH HOUR 3! It's going to be loads of laughing gas and a good cheering-up session.
Rachel:Lil cousin,i think you've told your mummy the wrong message (Converse shoes).
Anyway,study hard for your exams.Given your intelligence,you can do it. :))
Cocktail of feelings
Saturday, July 07, 2007 at 12:50 PM
My life concocts a great deal of cocktails of feelings.Getting back the results,meeting up with the girls,sharing with TWINY.Everything contributes to that mixture of feelings.Remember my last post saying "i've put in my utmost efforts,the rest is up to destiny"?Well,i've got the answer from destiny.I managed to scrap a pass in PHYSICS.I'm happy with it though.I don't really mourn over my Maths results because i've to admit i've put in very little effort.But i am seriously antagonized by my Chem results.Had been hoping to do well given the amount of efforts i've put in.But sometimes,last min efforts do not help any wee bit.
Even though i haven got myself a beautiful result slip,i still do not feel that bit of anxiety and distress.I've seen friends over the years crying over poor results and being depressed over that little U grade.It is important to remember:The higher your hopes are,the harder you fall.To look things in another light is not to escape from reality,but it's a form of encouragement for yourself.
Life holds no failures.A fail in a subject does not mean a failure of life.Without failing,we will never taste the sweetness and exhilaration of that success.
MEINUs gathering for dinner was fabulous.Even though it was just a dinner meet,but we had so much fun talking and discussing about other friends of ours.Laughters filled the dinner place,and we reminisced our past.
Special Messages:
MEINUs:I LOVE YOU.Girls,all of you have been great and seeing you all brightened up my day.Our sense of humour is still there and i believed that though we had changed in terms of appearance,our hearts remained the same. Remember the pact we made on the bus ride.
Lisi:Your question of regret made me ponder.And i have to say,i do have some regrets about this decision at times.
Huishan:Rest well,girl.Drink loads of water and get well real soon!
TWINY:Thanks for listening to my grumbles.Thanks for letting me inundate you with my unhappiness.Keep it a secret! TWINY SECRETS. :))
David:It's good clearing up the air which was not supposed to be there at all.Good luck for A div Floorball Comp.

TRANSFORMERS
Wednesday, July 04, 2007 at 12:22 AM
BLOCKS are over.Finally.The nightmare is over and all i've gotta say is that i've put in my utmost efforts and the rest are up to destiny.Watched TRANSFORMERS with kl,gh,wj,mich,evan and marc today.It was a nice movie.It really perked me up and the story is exciting and it just keeps you put all your attention on the screen.The robots are cool,and most importantly nice.The nicest and most enticing part is when they transform.It isn't easy making something fictitous to be so real and sophisticated.
