Nicholas's Commissioning

yay! Nicholas finally commissioned!
haha went for his commissioning parade.
was amused at how LOUD they sang all the songs.
and weilin was tickled everytime they shuffle,
cause obviously they don't need to shuffle.
lolx
sooooo proud of Nicholas!
we know that e whole process was certainly not easy
but YOU MADE IT! =D =D =D
everything just for today =)

and this just made me all e more determined to push on
regardless of what happens,
cause i noe what matters to me and my priorities =)

saw quite a few friends too.
didn't realised so many people commissioning today.
felt like a mini-gathering over there.
keep bumping into people....
friends from pri sch all the way till jc =)

and there was a rainbow after the parade!

haven't seen a rainbow for very very long!
it just made me so hapi.
the whole sky was sooooo pretty!
the colours were so niceeeee~~~

oh and i realised that OCS is REALLY near ntu
no wonder i can see the safti tower from my hall there
i'll be sad to noe that u all are no longer opposite me =(

after e marina barrage trip yesterday,
and seeing a rainbow today,
somehow i feel a sense of calm.
i guess maybe thats y i always like natural surroundings =)

some chances only come once. and i may have missed mine.
how many chances is life going to give me, and how many am i going to continue to miss.
i may not be fortunate enough to have so many chances
they will run out one day =(

=D
brandon nah, pls rem to save the drowning child =P

hahaha! our fav photo of the day =P

it takes some adaptation
for the one who has been doing the selection
to turn into the one who is being selected

exams in 2 weeks
omg
muggggggggggg

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YC! =)

Ying chern!
To my dearest fellow jingle YC:

HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY! =D

we couldn't get u any present cos u're overseas,
we couldn't skype with ya cos we are not gathered tgt
so i came up with this idea!
hope u'll feel hapi when u see our blogs!
=)
its been 5 years since we knew each other!
super loooong!
when we separated to go into different jcs,
i really thought that we'll just lose contact and all.
but it didn't happen!
and now that uni has started and 1 sch year is almost over,
we're still as close as ever =)
we may not chat all e time,
we may not meet up for gatherings all e time,
but we noe deep inside that whenever we need a fren or each other,
we'll be there =)
and thanks to facebook and msn n blogs!
it felt as though u're still in singapore.
cos we're constantly getting updates from u! =D
(and vice versa too)
glad that u're hapi with ur bdae party over there
rem to come back n cook for us!
along with ur oreo cheesecake.
miss ur reminders of asking us to drink enough water,
take enough fruits and vegetables.
=(
and don't worry
bels + lihui + shuyi + mone + shuyi + me
will have ALOT ALOT of exciting stories to tell u when u come back.
mayb we can even film it down into a drama!
0.o

response to yc's entry =D

haha went blog hopping after i haven't done so for a superrrr loooong time.
and saw our dearest tan ying chern's blog update! =D
so wads e season over there now?
i just felt so hapi reading ur entry u noe!
felt some normalcy (is this how u spell it?) amidst all the hectic work
especially these few weeks.
i guess while growing up, we all learn how to appreciate the moment?
cause we have been through so many regrets that what we want to do now,
is just bask in the moment and enjoy it
so that we don't have to experience the same idiot feeling called regret.
which is why now i tell myself not to ponder too much over things that i cant control.
i received this piece of advice before:
if something has happened and things have changed,
so what if you do not want it that way?
if you have done your best to redeem/change,
and where the rest lies out of your control,
do not blame yourself or get too affected.
because ultimately,
you have done wad you could.
i think all of us would like to know that we can always make a difference,
make things better.
and we would naively think that as long as we work harder, just a little bit harder,
things WOULD become better.
but sadly in life, sometimes,
reality doesn't work that way.

contrary to wad lihui says,
everyone's (referring to jingles??) nick may be emo
and i tink mine is too.
but its not cos i emo.
i just saw the phrase on e cover of a Jodi Picoult book.
everything breaks, but some hurts more than the others
and find it very apt and impactful and can relate to it
since when do i put emo stuff on msn and my blog? =P
hahahahahaha!

yay lets all do a blog entry about each other
and use this cheap thrill
to make each other hapi =D

monday.
1 suicide cum stabbing case in NTU.
first day of school after recess week.
and now friday.
another suspected suicide case.
seriously.
whats wrong with the school or the people in it.
feels like e 2nd one see the 1st one and then decided to copy.
isn't life precious.
there are many things in life that u may have lost,
many things in life to be depressed about,
but there are also things in life to be grateful about,
things that we can rejoice about.
the difference lies in your perspective.
i really feel sad for the family.

its 4 more weeks to the exams!
n im sad to say that i haven't been touching my books.
its gonna be a mad rush of intensive mugging in the wks leading up to exams.
positive visualisation: i can get through this!
believe, believe, believe.
i don't allow myself to succumb or become weak!
>.<
