Break from Chem

I just had an hour plus of break. Playing games on... neopets.com! Wahaha. Reliving my childhood all over again. It may sound childish lah but well it's an avenue of stress relief for me ^^ Wahaha and I am all happy and not-sostressed anymore (:

But boohoo to a waste of precious time. Hmm I believe I can study better with a cheery mood! =D

There's Chemistry test tomorrow. This long weekend's pretty slacky for me lah. Friday was shopping day ;) Saturday was attempting-to-study-but-not-successful and dad's birthday celebration day ^^

And today is another working-hard day but there were some results. Though I believe I could have done better.

Cheers I guess it's back to work.

Good Luck to all Chemistry students for the test tomorrow!

And whee countdown to Shu Min's birthday: 3 more days (: (: (:

Time flies

Time flies. Today's Wednesday already and tomorrow's friday. Whoa. time's like passing in the speed of the light. And I don't like it. Seems like I am missing out on the pleasure of appreciating small things in life.

Slept for 1 hour instead of 20 minutes just now. After a cereal drink I am all energised! And I have completed my PI, left with the acknowledgements.

But sad to say, I am still left with:

1. Testimonial
2. Maths Tut.
3. Chem Tut.
4. CSC News Record Book

Yep for I am so looking forward to friday and next week. Not because of the tests lah, I am not a test-maniac, in fact I am quite reluctant to mug >< But because Shu Min and Yunyin's birthdays on next Wed and Fri respectively. How exciting (:

There may be YFC event this Sat too. Equally excited.

Yep life's not that bad after all I guess (:

As long as you are optimistic.

Movies!

I SO WANT TO HEAD DOWN TO THE CINEMA FOR A MOVIE NOW!

Currently there's not many entertaining movies... but I thought 200 Pounds Beauty's pretty interesting. Waha! I want to watch it! The only problem is that it is in Korean and I can't really relate to Korean movies, in fact both my twin and I are immune to Korean movies I think.

Cos' that time we went to watch The Season for Love or something. It's supposed to be touching. But well we didn't shed any tear while the people sitting in the row behind us were weeping like there's no tomorrow. Oh well. Perhaps I wasn't paying much attention to the movie. Waha ;)

200 Pounds Beauty is a comedy so it shouldn't be that bad I suppose. I can't possibly leave the cinema crying while everyone's laughing right?

I watched Mr Bean's Holiday with my mom and brother a few weeks ago. I think it's pretty funny... but I saw the philosophical side of it, for the first time. I think that the movie is a mockery of human nature lol. Studying language arts has really made a difference to my appreciation of films. teeheehee.

Hmm there's a movie marathon in school on 30 April but nah I am not going. Although when I heard of it for the first time I got all excited. The last time I watched a movie marathon was at Yuhan's house. We managed to chiong only two movies. But two of the really good movies I have ever watched, Daisy and Helen, the Baby Fox. Yeah Daisy made me cry. oh man how embarrassing. I remembered Eileen grinning away when tears rolled down my face lah. LOL.

Daisy in the movie means hidden love. To think it's my birthday flower too. Does it mean I have to hide my love this life? bleah I hope not. That's gonna be like so miserable. I would prefer to take it as a symbol of purity =D

Let see... which is my favourite movie? It's kinda hard to just pick out one of my favourite. I could actually list out quite a few lor. ok let's put it this way:

Most philosophical movie ever watched: Pan's Labyrinth

Most romantic movie ever watched: Lake House (most likely...)

Most exciting movie ever watched: Deathnote (1&2) !! (:

Most touching movie ever watched: World Trade Centre

Best animated movie watched: The Incredibles!

Most amazing movie ever watched: Night at the Museum

Most 'bloody' movie ever watched: Curse of the Golden Flower

One of my favourite movies: Rob-B-Hood (: (:

First movie I fell asleep while watching: The Banquet :S

I can't really remember all the movies I watched before but those I have listed are those I can remember at this point of time.

And yeah every movie-watching experience is an enjoyable, fresh experience. It's also valuable time spent together with my beloved friends. There are quite a few regular movie companions bah. So far I haven't break my record of not watching any movie alone before. Partly because my mom doesn't allow, she says it's too dangerous, ohwell. It's also because I don't have the drive to watch movie alone, I mean it's not fun.

The joy and pleasure of watching movie is to have someone to laugh with you at the funny parts, cry with you at the sad parts (for girls) and having something to talk about at the end of the movie, be it compliment or criticism. Don't you think so?

Yes i so want to watch movie now (:

Tough Day

It's been a tough day for me. Nothing went right. Everything went wrong.

I was 'neglected' during Literature lesson.
I felt sleepy during GP lesson (for the first time in four months).
My topic sentences for literature essay were NO-good. (practically repeated and nonsensical)
I was late for Maths lecture cos' Mdm Nora was going through the topic sentences with me.
Chemistry SPA was disastrous. I really dare not have too high hopes.
I kept dropping things during CSC/ Yunnan Trip training. Boo.

I suppose that's alot of not-good events. At least it's over.

And what I got as a consolation at the end of the day was a going-home-train-journey with Shu Min, Yun Yin and Yi Ling plus Nicole. Yeah it's enough to make up for my tough day in school.

Alright it has been a tough day but not a not-good day. I am thankful for today, for everything that had happened and for everyone who had been there for me. And of cos I am so very glad that I survived it and am able to be relaxing in the comfort of my home now (:

I almost cried. I had the urge to. I never felt that depressed before. I felt like my whole world had toppled over. Helplessness swallowed me whole. But no tears fell, phew. Be strong girl :)

It's Sunday again!

It's another Sunday... time is passing so freakingly fast. Four months have passed aw. I hate it when time passes this fast. I don't even get the chance to admire the beautiful things in life.

Sports day was great. I only sustained slight sunburn on my face. It wasn't as bad as the sports meets the previous years. Went JP for lunch with JYY. Shopped at Popular for materials for my posters and stayed up till 2am to finish them. Very proud of my work hee (: Photos will be posted very soon after I upload them.

The scholarship presentation ceremony yesterday was simple but fun. Enjoyed interacting with the other scholars. There are 10 in all. The next time I see them would be during the training camp in June. Wen Jia and Valentino turned up for the ceremony too. Took photos with them. It's so great to see them again. GOH, Mr Teo Ser Luck gave us some tips on social entrepreneurship. Very friendly and humorous. It's my second time meeting him face-to-face. The first time was at the POH stall at NUS Carnival at Youth Park last year.

Well well today's another homework-doing day. Spent the morning looking for news article for my GP journal. I have tons of other work left. My productivity rate is exceptionally low on weekends. Better work harder, not exactly to the extent of mugging. I want to live a fulfilling life alright =p And I am not cut-out to be a mugger anyway.

Next break will be on Speech Day... no school (: And then comes Labour Day on 1 May. After another month of hard work, comes the June holidays and the long-waited Yunan Trip. Of cos my very special day at the end of May *winks.

Back to my work. Cheers people. Have a merry Sunday!

I believe in fate.
I have always believed in fate.
Despite the tough prank fate played on me two years ago,
I continued to believe in fate.
Though skeptical, I still believe in fate.
Fate is such a beautiful thing.
How it draws strangers together and transforms them to be the best of friends
True, it does commit mistakes, causing hurt and misery (like how it did two years ago)
But it's the test of life, what's life without pain?
It's pain that makes us human.
If not for fate, I would not have met JAYYES.
If not for fate, I would never have become a part of POH.
If not for fate, I would never have seen his true colours.
And it is also fate that makes our friendship last till today.
Fate is both miraculous and monsterous,
As two-sided as a Gemini could be
As angelic as an angel and devilish as a devil
It's just a reflection of reality.
Fate has brought me many miracles in my life.
I would not have been here today if not for fate.
So fate is to be appreciated, though abhored at times.
After all, what would life be like without fate? (:

DHS 27th Sports Meet

whee! I am excited. Tomorrow's our annual Combined Sports Meet. And it's the 27th! My lucky number (: Anyway yeah I am rarely so excited for sports meets, this year's an exception I suppose. It means a break for me, away from those books and lectures :)

I just discovered and recalled the many commitments I have this year. Aw poor time management may just murder me this year. I really really really have to plan my time and use them meaningfully. Every second, every minute... PRECIOUS TIME.

I want to set aside time for my family and friends too... Yep (: I miss my toddler cousin. She's such a cutie! She knows how to call me 'jie jie' already. Aw. But I have the scholarship presentation ceremony on Saturday. Then the rest of Saturday most probably celebration? Ah ha. Can go my grandparents' house for celebration. Then Sunday shall be homework-doing day. And yoga! Have not been attending yoga classes for the past months. Uh oh.

Well well. Tomorrow's gonna be a wonderful day. In fact every day's a good day, just that some days are better than other days =D

Cheers (:

好心情!

每个梦都得到祝福
每颗泪都变成珍珠
每盏灯都像许愿的蜡烛
每一天都值得庆祝

And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils!

泉说得没错, 只要努力就会有收获, 剩下的就是要相信自己的力量 :)

我做到了!

我会一直牢记这句话的! (:

Happy Good Friday!

These days, it's a blessing to be able to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every day. Sleeping minimal means fully utilizing your time for school work but hey, there's gonna be lots more missed out during lessons if you snore off. The average number of hours I sleep per day for the past one week or so is around 4. 4 leh! How sad >,<

I am really looking forward to this long weekend break. School's so hectic that I just want to run away. I don't lack the motivation but I just need the break, to have some time to myself. I really appreciate that. I need time for reflection and all.

Blogging has not been much of my everyday life lately. Too busy to blog. Every second is precious. And so happened that blogging takes time. But I am trying my best to blog at JAYYES common blog whenever possible. And so far I top the post-contributor list. Whee. I don't know if I am supposed to disclose the url here but I am not gonna take the risk.

Sometimes I run out of interesting things and events to blog here. I don't know what to blog about. But it's different when you are sharing a blog you see. That's the wonders of it. Aw.

Ah ha. Will be changing my blog template and style rather soon. Ok maybe not much for style. But I hope to revert to being myself. I am trying too hard to meet the expectations of my readers that blogging has become such a chore oh man.

I thought of listing the more-interesting events that happened this week but I realised that I had been so busy that I haven't been keeping track of the activities. Just living each day as it is and rushing for the bed every dawn to catch sleep.

Shall end here. Blog entries should be short and sweet (:

Yeah short and sweet to grant me the convenience of getting my beauty sleep ASAP.

Happy Good Friday!
