back from a family holiday trip to London and Paris. well, western countries for 14 days..what can i say, i'm so sick of western food. i feel like a whole bunch of potatoes and meat and fats. anyway, this trip had ups and downs, many hiccups that cost way more than you can imagine. but i'm glad i had the chance to visit these 2 countries. i find it very interesting to go overseas because you get to experience their culture, food, transport and how people are. of course only if you are not in a tour group and actually get to travel around like a local, which was what we did and that nearly killed our legs. i wanna visit more countries mainly because of the food and culture(: after travelling, i will always find Singapore to be the best. i guess it's because i've been living here my whole life. too used to the way of life, the food and the environment (which is clean and green and i'm lovin' it) not so much the people, because i still have a problem with our graciousness level.
time is passing by and soon my long holiday will be over and i'll be embarking on a new journey, a new stage in life. exciting and irritating at the same time. university sounds scary, like the academic side (like seriously, we just can't get enough of studying) but the non-academic side will be the fun part, i hope. i'm wishing that i can find a suitable cca. and i can fulfil my dream of forming a rock band. ahahaa. i hope i make right decisions too because i forsee myself having to make many many more decisions in life which will more or less determine my future. exciting huh.
in any case, i'll try to have fun. and hopefully find a great christian bf (b for best or b for boy or b for both). muahaha.

ciao. (why am i using spanish when i went to France? beats me)

SURPRISE SURPRISE!
A revival that no one will witness to. But anyway, I decided that this can be my electronic platform to reflect and look back on past memories. I was just reading my posts from the start of this blog, somewhere in 2009. It's rather hilarious to read the posts and realise how far I've come. Talking about senior high class allocations, subject combination, career crisis, mep...the list goes on. And to think that I'm here now, done with A Levels and even done with choosing a course for university. Haha. All my childish thoughts of becoming a fashion designer, and in the end, I chose a course that 2 years ago, I would have said "Hell No!' to - accountancy. Yup, accountancy. I guess choosing a career isn't all about what you totally love but also being realistic and practical. I mean, yeah you can go with your passion and stuff, but if that doesn't put food on your table or you're not competent enough in your passion, then what's the point right? But saying all these doesn't matter anymore. 
I guess I didn't just grow in terms of age and academic standards, but I feel that I've grown much in the spiritual aspect too. Becoming a dgl this year, made me realise the immaturity in 13 year olds and on a more spiritual level, the importance of the foundations in the Christian faith. I worry for the 8 girls under my care. But I guess such things are not in my control, I can only pray to God for wisdom and strength in leading them and the rest is in God's control to change them. I think the most encouraging thing for dgls is to see your kids grow up, mentally, physically and of course, spiritually. I never really understood this point until I myself became a dgl. 
Hmm..more reflections to come soon.

i've grown to love SE more and more:D haha. even practicing doesn't seem that bad although it's still tiring. maybe it's partly because im watching nodame cantabile(: i love the show! chiaki shinichi :DDDD i get inspired to practice since all the people in the show are super pro. besides, i think playing my violin is better than studying in school. so i would much prefer to have se camp than sch. we were just talking about the syf memories from 2007 and 2009. and the joy you get when you hear the announcement of SYF results is just indescribable.
next year will be a hectic year, with SYF, A lvls. but i think if we put in our utmost effort, whatever the outcome, we'll still be very proud of ourselves. i'll probably miss my SE friends VERY MUCH after graduating. haha. all these random thoughts are just floating about in my mind.
the harsh reality i have to face now is that school is reopening in a few days and i have math and chem test. plus some sort of dumb homework that i don't feel like touching. i don't wanna wake up from my fantasy world of watching nodame cantabile, wonderful chiaki:D hehe. this one week of holiday just zoomed pass me. mon-wed: SE camp. fri: SE prac. and i was left with only one day. ONE week isn't a holiday at all. it's too short, almost non-existent. i think the minimum should be 2 weeks or how about a month? (:
sighs. i don't wanna study, i don't wanna go back to school. let us all live in our illusion and fantasy world. then life would be just nice(:
[okay. i have to face it. i shall attempt to do some chem practice and math. ] sobs. im seriously addicted to nodame. CHIAKI = TAMAKI HIROSHI <3 i wish i could play like him.

so far i haven't found anyone who likes/enjoys senior high life. which goes to show how much it sucks. actually lessons don't end that late for me, my timetable's not horrendous or anything. i guess i just dislike the whole system and way of things. i miss being junior, miss 4L and my lovely bunch of crazy friends:D
well, im quite sure we'll still meet up and have outings! so, i'll just have to move on and look forward. besides, im starting to find great friends in my new class too. haha.
oh and i don't understand why everyone is doing tutorials even before they are taught, and going way ahead of the teachers. weird. it seems like JC1 is a year for mugging. like wth, seriously. and 1 week of school feels like 1 month.
i hope that i'll still have the time to go out and chit chat and stuff. oh i suddenly got reminded of how i posted when i first had a blog, when i was sec1. thinking back, i feel super childish and dumb. just the things i blog about and the way i say it. too bad i don't have the archives for them cos i deleted my blog before. if not i'll probably have a good laugh at all of them. haha:D
we're going to celebrate jane's birthday later in the evening! prawn fishing and stuff. lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE! yay! another person who becomes the same age as me=)

sometimes i really wonder whether creating this thing called "IP - integrated program" was a wise choice, and whether i made the right decision to join it. of course not having to take o lvls is such a blessing cos you get to skip this whole section of drilling and mugging. but maybe that's what people like me need. some form of drilling? i'm so not gonna be prepared for a lvls. the start of sch/JC just totally reminded me of my fate in less than 2 years. sighs. then again, hopefully everything will turn out fine.
lessons are boring, as usual. learnt nothing. actually, im not looking forward to any subject and im not particularly interested in any of them. so these 2 years will be studying for the sake of studying, what i've actually been doing since i started schooling. okay. as you can obviously tell, once school starts, all the rants start appearing. i shall stop it.
im turning 17 tmr. i feel so freaking old. seventeen 17 is such a BIG BIG BIG number. after sweet 16, every other number is just big. like you're no longer a kid. somehow 16 is still quite kiddo. haha. i don't like it that im always one of the oldest. lol. although you can never tell from my size. =)
i dont' believe myself, but i actually look forward to cca. cos i can see all my great friends and i feel like cca will be very slack. haha. chit chat and blah blah. hopefully relaxing:D
anw, gonna have to face bio and a whole lot of econs tmr. with pe. on my birthday. HOW SAD. all the best to myself!

School's starting....finally.
i've been rotting away my life for the past whole week. just nothing better to do.
oh and i think im really such a great procrastinator. because i keep on telling myself to call up the music school regarding drum lessons, yet till now, i haven't. sighs. i sent an email to enquire but they're being inefficient and haven't replied me yet.
kinda looking forward to orientation and senior high life. then again, it's sorta mixed feelings cos i really dunno what to expect. well, i hope the first whole week of orientation will be fun:D and the whole getting-to-know-classmates thing.
there's 2K'07 bbq outing at mdm sau's house today. it's been quite long since i've last spoken to many of them. yep. so it's a good chance for a good catch up time.
i've been filling my life with all sorts of drama, drama from last time and drama from now. drama with all sorts of different themes. i wanna watch liar game but currently the subtitles are not working very well, i only have the video without subs. i wish i knew a thousand tongues:) haha

oh man. im super duper bored these days.
i guess most people have alr started sch. school would be more interesting than rotting at home, but i also don't want lessons and stuff to start. cos once they do, i know i'll have no such break again until after a lvls. cos all my hols will be filled with homework. yeah. im really looking into the future even though i haven't even started jc. lol
boredddddd
what can i do? im totally out of ideas. been watching movies and dramas and facebooking. even been to online shopping websites. sighs. well, i can conclude that boredom leads to sleepiness though. cos im feeling sleepy all the time when i have nothing to do.
i ought to learn a new skill. but like what? speak korean, that's cool! i like scrapbooking, but that's too expensive. oh nvm. isn't much time to learn anything. only one more week left.
oh and come to think of it. im feeling extremely old. extremely extremely old. SAD. cos im turning 17 in 2 weeks. it's SEVENTEEN. freaking old. 17. it's such a big number. away from the secondary sch or sweet sixteen nonsense.
i wonder if the o lvl results are really coming out next week. haha. i really wanna know what i score for my cert which will have 2 subjects. just give me an A for chinese. anw, im not taking chinese anymore=) yay! im done done done with that subject.
just really random. the whole year's gonna repeat itself. chinese new year is coming, then more tests, exams, se concert, more crap.....christmas again! then the new year.
