Crossings;

Today was such a good day minus away the fatigue haha. Woke up early and did physics revision plus procrstinate like siao, cuz I keep getting distracted by the music I was listening to haha. Couldn't help it, I just need music in my life :P

 

And can you believe it, I even went for ballet early hahaha. Like wow I'm not late! It was Ms Lee's last class, and it's kinda sad luhh, she's really nice. I don't really like how I'm forever so suay, keep changing classes and teacher. Sighpie96 :( Not that the teachers aren't good, it's just that we always barely get to know the teacher and poof, another ones comes along to replace her. Really sad leh you know?? :( So we managed to take a few photos with her haha..

 

With Ms Lee! Haha ok la I only got 1 photo with her lolol :P

 

Then after that we went to watch Crossings 2013, NAFA's diploma dance showcase to support Joyee and Natalie. It was good!! The dancers have really good techniques.. Really diploma students lor haha :) Makes me wanna train hard and be like them too. Aiya Minnee you always say that after you watch a dance performance one lor. Also never see you really go train tsk.

 

After the performance me and Rachel went to walk walk and shop shop haha crazy girls lolol. Late night shopping is cool luh, but like not much energy left lehh, we were really tired and we just wanted to go home to sleep hahaha. Cuz we did barre work in the centre lor, makes you work on all your muscles, have to hold your core and maintain turn out even more. Ms Lee really knows how to make her last class memorable hahaha.

 

Nahh come, show you photos instead haha. A picture speaks a thousand words. Here's a few thousand for you to read ^-^

Ok la really tired le. Go sleep le worr. Nights people, thanks for reading my blog haha.

Xoxo, Minnee♥

Sports-less Day

Today was supposed to be Sports Day! But in the end it was raining and little children could not go out to play :( In the end we just had house dance and cheering, plus water soccer and mindsports. We are too cool le haha.

 

Not gonna rant about that though! I think what's the best part we got out of this was the house spirit in every house luhh! Every house put in a lot of effort to put up a great performance for the house dance, and after I watched the dances from other houses, I really think that everyone stood a chance to win! Given the limited official house meetings we have, I think every house did a good job trying to engage the rest of the house during the event. It was really really nice to see everyone having fun on and off stage luhh :)

 

I honestly felt super happy during the performance!! Hearing the rest of the house cheer for us even though we didn't tell them to do so in advance.. it was really about the house spirit :') that really motivated me to give in my 200% when I was dancing. Wahh I hoped somebody recorded the whole thing lehh I wanna watch..

Of course we have to talk about the efforts put in behind the scene haha. I think I'm really lucky to have this crew of people who are so committed. I feel bad luhh, cuz towards the last few practices I was always late in the morning due to lack of sleep from working on my PI. But everytime when I reached the venue for dance prac, everyone would be there already, helping each other out and practising hard. I wanna thank Wei Lin for helping out and cheering us on, Darren, Kai Li, Kai En and Kang Peng for helping out with the dance and everybody else who gave in their all for the dance crew. I know that many practised hard on their own and helped their friends along. Gonna sound cliche but all of this would not have been possible without everyone. Although it's sports day without sports this year, there was definitely house spirit :) So...

 

GOOD JOB BLUE VIKINGS FOR GETTING 2ND PLACE :DDD

 

Now that Sports Day is finally over, we can have a short break for the next few days before we continue with our house initiatives! Looking forward to the rest of the year hehe.

 

Us trying out the body paint and glitter the day before.

Guess which one is my hand!
Those are viking ships in case you can't tell haha.

Kinda sad we didn't manage to do it for everyone though :/

Me and Jingxuan!

Me and Huiwen!

Didn't take many photos cuz I was looking too cui ><

 

 

Ok now I'm gonna sound like some whiney kid now. Haven't had much sleep for the next few days luh, cuz I was chionging PI. Wednesday night tried to stay up to do PI and fell asleep at 1+ am, luckily Gracia called and woke me up at 2+. Drank a can of redbull and chiong all the way till the morning den go to school! Had a close shave cuz I only had one coloured copy of my PI and I couldn't find anyone to help print another copy within a short period of time. But in the end I managed to ask my tuition teacher to help print and pass it to me during my break. Omg I promise I will work hard to score well for Chemistry. And so I went to school yesterday with only 1 hour of sleep and I had to take my GP test at 430pm. So tired that I don't feel tired. Ok that doesn't make sense haha. Then just now after Sports Day I went home and slept for 8hours before waking up at 11pm just now for dinner. That's why I'm awake and kicking at this hour haha. Finally got some good rest loe haha, goody-good :)

 

Ok laa I go study physics for a bit then go sleep again liao haha. Sound like a pig lol. A bit dunno what I'm typing cuz I feel very gong now so please pardon my grammar and spelling mistakes haha. Ok byebye! :D

 

P.s. After I type finish then I realise it's not 'today' anymore haha (Refer to first word of my post)

Resurfaced;

Had a break from blogging because we were busy preparing for syf the past few weeks! I'm so happy for RVDS, our hard work has been paid off: 3 Distinctions for all 3 dances!! :D

 

It's really sad that this is the last syf for me and the rest in senior high. I'm really going to miss the times spent practising together, especially the self pracs haha. We would be practising anywhere and everywhere; LTs, outside GO, along the stretch outside library, big steps, auditorium. Those places will surely bring back memories when we pass by. It's also a pity that the seniors are gonna step down soon. It's like we just got to know them better and they have to leave soon. And that brings back even more memories, back to when we were still in our junior high days. All the conflicts and unhappiness. What were we doing being so childish, only learning to cherish our time together now?

Re-watched some videos of past syf pieces by our seniors, because Huien was watching them haha. What can we do to become as good as them? The discipline, the values, the spirit. Fading from generation to generation. What can we do to keep those flames alive? What can we do to pass on the best we can give and let them manifest into something beyond "good"? I think it's really something to ponder and think about. It may be hard, but I know that many are trying their best to do what they can.

 

I guess sometimes I just envy those in sports CCAs. They have so many matches, so many chances to keep reflecting on their previous mistakes and improve themselves for the next match. We work so hard, all for that one chance every 2 years, that 7 minutes on stage. If only we had more chances and opportunities...
 

Oh well, now that syf is over, it's time to focus on our studies again. I don't think I will ever forget this memorable experience with RVDS. All the sweat, bruises and fatigue. Sounding sadistic but I will miss all those too haha. I love you, RVDS!

The big family: RVDS <3

Shall end off with an insane pic HAHA scare die you :P

 

Thankful.

Disclaimer first ahh, don't say i never warn you horr. This post is about my thoughts and what I feel, so if you don't give a damn please go away la horr byebye~

 

Finally unfollowed him on twitter, it's about time to let go I guess. It's too cruel of him to tweet about how much better his previous ex was, and I'm getting annoyed reading those tweets. I honestly felt bad when he tweeted stuff about how he is neglecting his health by overworking his body, but I guess I shouldn't care anymore. Yes I'm flawed, but nobody's perfect, and this time I admit I'm not 'nobody'.

I just feel like I have the need to dedicate a post to all my wonderful friends, both past and present, who have made me who I am today. My life so far had it's fair share of ups and downs, had conflicts with my family, been in and out of love, struggled to discover the meaning of life and so on, but there was this group of close friends who never gave up on me.

 

I don't think I'm all that mature yet, I still make mistakes, I can be insensitive at times and I annoy the shit out of people. I make wrong decisions only to regret them afterwards. And I guess there are haters out there constantly judging me. Being a rather emotional person, there were times when I broke down and felt like giving up on everything. At times like those, I would have friends supporting me and backing me, when no one else would. What would my life be without them?

 

There was once when somebody told me that we're all just passers-by in each other's lives and that we should treasure the time we have together as we cross paths. I never believed in that at that point of time, like what do you mean by passer-by? We're friends right? But after experiencing numerous short-lived and broken friendships, I finally understood what it meant. Sometimes people in our lives are like the sand in an hour glass, waiting to pass through to become a part of our past, and all we can do is to dwell in those memories every time we look back. And sometimes when we lose something, we just never realise how important it was, and when we do we can never find it back ever again.

Of course, those who left me had been wonderful friends at some point of time. We shared memories and secrets, and we lifted some of the loneliness for each other in this lonely world. People do drift apart, and it's nobody's fault. Feeling's fade too, and nobody should take the blame, because sometimes things just turn out the way we are. I choose to believe that fate has a part to play; we will never know where fate would bring us one day.

 

So I'm gonna treasure all those around me now, because I don't wanna have anymore regrets. Life is way too short for regrets. I want to smile for the people who love me, and not change myself to make people love me. So what if I'm crazy, straightforward and full of nonsense at times? I can be quiet and thoughtful too. I'm gonna be me, and if you don't like it I guess that's too bad.

Road-Idiot alert

Had the most epic last few hours of the day omg hahaha! so I'm gonna type this looooooong story about what happened luh so if you're not interested can go away le hor byebyebye.

So I was chatting with my besties shermaine and darren on whatsapp when I suddenly had this urge to watch a late-night horror movie. The last exorcism part 2, 950pm. But they didn't wanna watch, and there weren't other nice movies anyway so they suggested a sleepover. My mum prolly won't allow luh, and I have tuition tomorrow morning, so we said nxt time loe, we can plan hao hao lai what we wanna do.

That's when I had this brilliant idea to find shermaine, who was having her dinner with her family at NTU.

So we decided to find shermaine and have a late night talk. BUT WE HAD NO FREAKING IDEA HOW TO GET TO NTU.

So the smart me used google map to get us there. but the place was so friggin' big that when we alighted the bus we had NO IDEA where we were. I think we alighted early or something, so we ended up at the residential area? I don't know haha. So in the end me and darren walked from the bus stop we were at to the next one, trying to figure out how to find the place shermaine was at, and we could here gun shots (or whatever the sound was) coming from like the dark forest at the opposite side of the road. Darren guessed that it's the army people training or something, don't know luhh haha. Then occasionally there was this louder "BOOM" and I was like "OMG THERE'S A FREAKING CANNON BALL AHHHH RUNNN" hahaha I know I know I was prolly over-reacting lolol then darren had to splash cold water on me by saying it's most likely a grenade or something, not a cannon. ok maybe whatever I say here could be wrong luhh I really don't know what those sounds were! Then when we reached the next bus stop shermaine said her dad driving her to come look for us lolol. So I started eating my subway bread unglam-ly at the bus stop hahaha (yes, I bought a subway meal before embarking on this adventure) and every time I saw a car driving towards us I would try to annoy the shit out of darren by asking if it's shermaine. So in the end shermaine and her dad came to our rescue, and when her dad drove us to where they were I had the shock of my life cuz it was SO DAMN FAR. Lucky we didn't try to walk, if not don't need to go home anymore hahaha.

So in the end we managed to talk a little, spend some time together and just talk about random stuff. It was so fun, I felt really sad that we had so little time together. But it was really nice how the whole thing was like last minute and we just decided to go find shermaine hahaha! Really blessed to have such aweshum friends <3

 



Looking cui like shit after a whole day out, eating our ice cream~



Another shot of us looking retarded hahaha

 

 

Oh and I totally forgot, this morning (or afternoon?) I left cca early for tuition, so I went JP with tianhao and zaw, and we met this really cute owl mascot promoting Owl brand coffee at the bus interchange! Then I wanted to take a photo but I was kinda shy (pffftt ok not really I'm rarely shy) so I asked the people there the stupidest question ever, "Need to pay money mah?" LOL I totally couldn't believe I asked that wth hahaha. The person just say no need luhh, then keep encouraging us to take photo with the owl. They even gave us free coffee powder afterwards! Haha so we took a photo and zaw had this awkward pose lol~

 

 Me, the owl, zaw and tianhao :)

The free packet of coffee powder!
