Just like that.

Always be my baby.

Rmb how that kinda used to be 'our song'?
You would sing or hum a few lines.

Sigh,
6 months just flew by like that.
Didn't think i'll make it this far, but i did.
And i'm gonna continue to be strong.
I'll try.
After all, i've gone for months without crying over you.
Quite a feat i must say, even for myself.

I doubt you read this, and i think you'll never know.
But you probably don't know how much i keep thinking about you.
And the fact we talked for 2 weeks plus,
no wonder i keep waiting for a text these days.
And obviously, none came for 2 days already.

Sometimes, i'd give anything to know what's on your mind.
But then again,
i probably won't find myself in there anymore.

Check back with me in another 6 months.

A date I never thought i would 'celebrate'

Peppermint Chocolate Chips

Any closer then you'll feel the heat.

Alrighty,
I am back from all the hustle and bustle from attachment + NYAA camp @ Port Dickson!
Currently now sick,
but really on the road to recovery.
Time to give my body a break, i guess!

Let's start from work attachment, since I've to blog about it.
Definitely not on this blog, but elsewhere.
Shall go into brief detail so this can act as a reminder on what to blog about for reflections!

Soooooo,
14-18 Nov was my attachment with DBS.
Was attached there with 9 other people - 'DBS Kids'! :)

Honestly, it wasn't really an attachment la.
We did mostly touring and stuff,
and one day branch attachment + the final day project.
Other than that, we didn't have to do real paperwork or anything.
Well of course, we are just but JC kiddos. :)

So, day 1 went pretty awkwardly.
Only a few familiar faces from choir, and the rest.. i really didn't know them.
First day was basically spent stuck in the Singapore room on the 18th level.
And oh, to digress abit, THE VIEW IS AHHHHMAZING!!
really really pretty. :) heehee.
And ah yes, back to the point..
Day 1 was mainly just talks and talks and talks.
Really boring stuff.
Went Amoy Street for a taste of tissue paper chope-ing and chicken rice.
Headed to *scape DBS Remix branch and then had a short briefing and tour and that was all!
Met the Brah after that for din din and catch up time. ^^

Day 2 was a little more fun la.
Branch attachment was crazy.
Stood around in heels for nearly 4 hours trying to get 10 surveys completed.
Was paired up with an awesome buddy at Hong Lim.
He even helped me with one survey so i had to finish only 9 surveys!
Headed to eat the yummmmmmy soy sauce chicken then got on the bus with the rest of the 'kids' to Asia Hub.
We toured the superrrr awesome contact centre, and had more talks.

Day 3 was really more interesting.
By this day, my legs just couldn't take it cos of all the blisters so I wore flats from this day on.
Had a GSMC talk by a cjc alumnus, and I must say, marketing is really cool.
One sector i actually considered besides journalism. yknow, the advertising aspect. :)
Did an impromptu project within an hour and my mini group won! YAYEEE. :)
Toured the uber cool trading floor later,
and saw like people facing 8 screens monitoring the stocks and whatever else.
REALLY awesomeeeeee. ^^
Started the prep on our project and we all joked around and stuff.
Left DBS Towers and headed for 1T25 bbq at Coasta Sands which was...
really interesting? HAHA.
AWESOME SAMBAL STINGRAY ^^

Day 4 was spent entirely doing our project.
Supposed to be at AsiaHub which is like at expo,
but we managed to have it our way and spent the day at towers!
Our 2 teams decided not to compete against each other, so we came up with a joint idea. :)

Last day was eventful.
Spent 2+ hours presenting on our proposed ideas and stuff,
and the staff commented that we all were confident speakers.
PW in general really does help!
The whole project was like, PW over again in just one day.
Oh, and OP did help alot too. :D

Had catered buffet lunch which was yummyyyyy,
and they gave us comments, and prizes (parker pens!) to those who spoke up more during the whole attachment,
and I got one of those pens! heehee. :)
Presented the main people with the little gifts we made and all,
and said goodbye at about 230!
MAD EARLY.
Headed to cine with them (minus one) and rented Grown Ups to watch.
Left 3/4 way of the movie and met Aaron for din din.
DIN TAI FUNGGGG.
Although i still prefer CJ's xlb... hehehe.
But oh boy, i really ate so little. Guess i was real full from the Starbucks the staff treated us too. HEHE. :)
Headed to Singapore Concert Hall for combined choir+band concert, and to lau pa sat (which is scary btw, if only us girls went alone) for satay supper!

I guess overall I had a really really good DBS experience.
I know its just a taste,
and of course there are horrible and dirty politics, possibly.
But its an environment i may consider as one of my career stops,
yknow, before i really settle down into a job that I love i future. :)

Alright,
so I've talked so much about DBS,
I am now lazy to talk about port dickson, so just a brief one!

Port dickson was really fun,
and I got to know loadssssss of people.
ELMOOOOOOO!
We won on the final day,
from our overall scores.
I still dk what made us win,
what helped us gain so much points,
but it was definitely a pleasant surprise. :)
We were all winners as well!

Basically,
we just got really muddy from bee drill (where we had to lie smack in the mud, and our faces are like barely an inch from the mud),
wet from rafting (which i couldn't go :( ),
and of course team challenges like getting over the walls and stuff.
And of course,
mud again. -.-

It rained on the first 2 nights so night walk was cancelled twice,
but the finale night was really awesome.
Thank God for no rain at all!
The night was really awesomeeeeeeeee.

Oh, and did i mention for outdoor cooking we had to use flour somehow,
and my group made PANCAKES?! freaking gooooood,
especially for me, a pancake noob,
making it from SCRATCH for the first time in my life.
I went crazy when i made like 4 super round pancakes.
I was squealing with joy, heehee.
And of course,
its thanks to my groupmates who helped eat + Mr See,
this awesome chem teacher that was our group teacher,
who helped me with the batter as well!
He kept saying 'too thick pour more milk' HAHAHA.

Well,
of course through this camp I became closer to some of my classmates as well, and I'm super grateful for awesome people like them.

Y'know,
I've come to realise why God has given me 12 points for O's,
and blessed me with the entry to CJC.
Honestly, with my net score,
my probability of getting into CJ even was hard.
But somehow, I got in.

I admit,
I cried so badly when I first saw the JAE text,
but I guess with people cheering me on and knowing I will find out why I'm placed in CJC in the future,
PLUS, a whole year of trying to trust in God and be more positive,
I finally realised why. :)

I mean,
If i didn't enter CJ,
i wouldn't have gotten opportunities like

1. Flame Scholarship
2. GWH Choir + Germany
3. Selected for DBS + Got to go
4. Port Dickson
5. Batam (which was sadly cancelled ytd :( )

and many many more!
These are all that i can rmb offhand,
but i'm sure there are more.

I've gotten so many opportunities, and I'm really grateful.
And now seeing all these and how God has planned everything for me even before I came to CJ,
I trust that whatever he has planned for my A level journey,
is gonna be good and hopefully, awesome. :)

I know i know,
its not exactly the end of the year,
but its nice to do a little thanksgiving and reflection since I'm blogging now.
Who knows,
lazy me will probably not blog till after KL even. Pfft!

Ah well,
that reminds me,
I still have to get integration done + revise through J1 work!
Really hope I can catch up next year.
SCARY SCARY.

Goodbye for now,
and I promise,
I'll try to blog soon! :)

What today could have been

The Boys

Alright, this post would have to do without a photo for now.
Currently at National Library, where the wireless@sg is simply too lousy to load anything flash/video.
PISS ME OFF. >:(
I spent like 3+ hours here,
and its good enough to watch 2+ episodes of RM!!

That aside,
I decided to get into the rhythm of blogging again.
For one being, I realised how little I blog,
and it'd be nice to pour my feelings collectively here,
instead of tweeting 140 characters all the time and spamming timelines,
which everyone complains about. (I'm sorry, i like to airtalk!)

Well, the year 2011 just ZOOMED~ past like that.
Academic year is over,
PW is over (just today),
and promos are back.
Now all that's left is what,

1. Promo result slip on 15th
2. DBS attachment 14-18 Nov
3. Port Dickson NYAA 21-24 Nov
4. Batam OCIP 28 Nov - 1 Dec
5. KL 17-20 Dec

I AM A BUSY BUSY GIRL. ^^

Yeap, this holiday is gonna be just craaaaaaaaazy.
So many things, so little time!
To think I still hoped to secure a job straight after promos.
Must be dreaming. -.-
Looks like i can only work from 2-16 dec!
Hopefully somebody will give me a 2 week job. Or 1 week. Or 3 days. Or 1 day.
I NEED THE $$$$$$$$$$$$. :(

No updates for ages means I've just so so much to recount on.
So if you wanna be spared from the agony,
read no further.

So, promos was a really tense affair.
Honestly, maybe my results are a show of how hard or how prepared I was?
It revealed the good and bad I guess?
For one thing,
I definitely only seriously started studying like less than a month before?
Yeah, you can say that's bad.
I had like 2 months to really start but all I was thinking of was playing.
OKAY LA,
not so much of playing,
but......
I don't know what I was doing, to be brutally honest.

Anyway,
so, you can say I was half prepared and half unprepared.
I admit I was ABIT complacent about econs,
but at the same time I told myself,
"Hey, if I could pull that off at MYE, I should be able to do it this time"
And maybe I didn't study as hard as I could have for some portions,
but I did make sure my basics in the early part of the year were right?
But honestly, I seriously do not know what happened.
I knew what I was writing,
but apparently it wasn't right enough.
3/10 for CSQ last question?
Stark contrast to my 8/10 for MYE.

That being said though,
I'm truely glad I pulled my math up by like crazzzzzy.
Well, partially also cos I didn't study much for math in MYE thus I got a freaking U. -.-
But this time I really practiced. I was so darn scared of failing.
My aim was to at least pass everything (and hopefully another A for econs but um.... nope.) so I guess that's accomplished.
But honestly, I don't feel that great about my results.
I guess more could be done? I really don't know.

At least at promos,
I saw myself really work for math,
and tried to understand chem better.
I was soooooo happy when my class test for ionic equilibria was not too bad but promos were, UGH.
And of course,
I'm proud that I stuck to the bio schedule they gave us.
I hope they do that next year,
cos if I make one myself, I would probably not stick to it!
Also, credits to my bio teacher,
whom I absolutely respect and love.
She's amazing. :)

Promos aside,
there were alot of stuff that went on la.
Really can't rmb all.
But one of it is definitely post-promo picnic!
Sadly Yeewei couldn't go. :(
But Becka, Brah and me had a blast!
Frisbee, tan lines and of course, camwhoring. HEHE.
I even had a super duper uneven tan on my back which i completely was unaware of until i got home and changed.

Met up with the 4E clique that night also,
which was pretty fun.
Reached home soooo late cos some of us went for a walk by the river.
and things were so awkward also... :( 
But yeah, it was a nice time i guess! 

Hmmmm, then after that....
so many more things happened la.
There was Youthphoria Games day (whereby i got cheated by the apparently 'Running Man' game. It was pendulum. -.-),
Choir College Anthem Recording,
Melanie + Steph's birthday @ Sentosa,
and super lots more.
(That also means my bank account has been drying up reallllll quick and fast. :/)

Past few weeks were spent drilling Chinese until A levels on 31 Oct,and then OP intensive.
And finally OP is over today!
Although I'm truely sad cos my group was so awesome and co-operative,
and I'm serious when I say we didn't fight or quarrel AT ALL.
That's how awesome we are. ^^ <3

Really gonna miss them.
And nope, they're not retaining.
But I have this feeling 4 of us won't hang out anymore,
cos there's simply no more reason to!
But we're still classmates, so oh well!

And speaking of retaining,
I feel that our class is SUPERRRRR blessed that no one is retaining.
yes, you read right.
NOBODY IS RETAINING!
*does a dance*
Truely happy for that, although I'm not smiling while typing that.
I'll look funny if I suddenly smile to myself man.
Well, technically nobody is la.
But if you count the china retainee that would retain/get kicked out AGAIN should he have stayed on,
then no la.
But he withdrew even before results were out.
I still have the feeling its cos he knows he wouldn't make it again. :/
I guess its better if you withdraw rather than get kicked out!

WOWEE,
this has been a really long post. :/
Next one is gonna be real long too, I think.
Probably another one before I begin my attachment!

That reminds me,
I need to indicate my reflection method by TOMORROW.
Crap, better set a reminder.

Oh, and yes.
APPLE FASTER RELEASE A iOS5 UPDATE CAN. MY BATTERY KEEPS DYING LOR.
And oh yes, iOS5 is really kewl. Keke.
But I'm over the novelty of the notification centre and what-have-you.
Alot of apps got deleted while updating the OS though, but I guess its good.
I downloaded like a gazillion apps but i think i used barely 5% of them.

Alrighty,
I guess this has been an eye-burner.
Shan't spoil any eyes anymore.

Till the next post. :)

How?

5

Promos were long over,
and its nearly November.
Time flies!

Not really in a mood to go into detail of the things that has been happening over the past few weeks.
But oh well.
I will soon.

Till then!

Yet another...

Hiatus

Soooooo,
I kinda finally broke the whole 'photo-a-day challenge' thingy.
Reason being....

ITS 19 DAYS TO PROMOS AND ME ISN'T READY. :(

I'm so screwed, i swear.
okay, not swear, but saying 'promise' is just weird.
"vow" isn't good either. HEHE.

Well,
so I've decided to put it on hold and hopefully continue soon.
For now,
my blog will be back to boring and nobody will read it anymore.

Funny how once you put a cuttag,
reads go up to like 30.
30 views?!
That's mad.

ALL YOU STALKERS
Heehee. ^^

Well,
so please don't expect the photo-a-day,
better yet.

Don't expect posts.
HAHAHHAHA.
Cos my internet social life shall be twitter, facebook and occasional youtube and oh,
of course,
RUNNING MAN ^^

I'll try to be back by October when papers start and i'll probably have more time to update abit. :)
Meanwhile,
just in case you'll miss my face......

That's PORK, for you. ^^

Resting.
