In case you missed the little link on the welcome page, I've MOVED. :D

There are actually 2 unposted posts before this which i haven't completed but since i don't have much time before 2008 ends, my trip post of epic proportions will have to wait.

So it's the end of another year again. Sigh, I really liked 2008 a lot. Really. Gonna miss it very much. Sure, it's been a year of many ups and downs (in fact, now that i filter through my memory, a lot of downs) but they're all over and i'm still sitting here a happy person. :)

A few days ago, i started my annual big cleanup of my room and when I say big, I mean BIG. Like, my room pretty much resembled World War 2 while I was digging everything out, sorting and putting everything back. While going through my stuff, I came across some very interesting things which i forgot i ever had/wrote. Because I am a hoarder through and through, my room is like a giant time capsule. I found my sec 2 lit notes and realized how fun lit used to be to me. Romeo and Juliet was incredible and I actually feel like reading To Kill a Mockingbird again. How things have changed though. Lit is so not on my favourite subjects list anymore.

Then there are the essays I used to write. Hahahaha they were hilarious! It's quite hard to imagine how i actually managed to churn out such cheesy stuff. I think i can apply to be a scriptwriter at Mediacorp. (Speaking of Mediacorp, i just watched the last episode of The Little Nyonya on Mobtv, not that i actually followed the whole show. Hahaha my whole family laughed like shit when we saw the second last scene. Not going to spoil though. :D)

And there were the clay stuff we made in Sec 2. There's this sculpture thing which we had to make by basing our design on a famous sculpture and modifying it ourselves and the whole class was laughing at mine because they thought it looked like the Ribena mascot. Going further down the timeline, I found my Sec 1 notes, and the reflections i wrote for stuff like CLE. HAHAHAHA I think i almost laughed my teeth out. And thinking of the things i used to do then makes me feel like a complete baby. They were so horribly lame, it hurts thinking about it.

Going even further down, my primary school work. Especially my tuition work, where you are allowed to express your creativity and work your imagination by writing about things you're forbidden to write about in school. Eg. UFOs, aliens, running houses, weird creatures etc. So yeah, in my folder lay "news reports" about houses which grew legs and cowboys who robbed banks. Plus an essay which i really wanted to share but i can't be bothered to upload the photo now.

The oldest artefact i uncovered was a photo though, of me in kindergarten. My my, one of the most vivid memories i have of it. The photo was taken for this skit thing we did during kindergarten graduation. I was supposed to be the red butterfly in the skit so yeah, you can just imagine how i look like in the photo. How i got the role is another long and embarrassing story so i'll just skip it. God forbid i write anymore long and boring stories here. Honestly, i get bored reading my own blog sometimes. But it's good to have a record of your life just in case your memory fails you someday.

So i cleaned and cleaned and worked my ass off for many many days. It wasn't all smiles though, some things just don't change with time. Like, my fear for creepy crawlies. I was just removing books from a shelf when this lizard FLEW out at me. Being me, i screamed and threw the book and the lizard scrambled somewhere. Still being me, i got my father and brother to come catch it but they couldn't and decided it had left my room when i was HUNDRED PERCENT SURE it was still here. And then, still, still being me, i got frustrated at the thought that i couldn't control the stupid lizard and get it out and that it will continue staying in my room and touching my stuff and that i could do nothing, i sat down in the middle of all the mess and cried for half an hour. How embarrassing, i haven't changed a bit in this aspect from the day i was born.

Time moves and humans change (in some ways at least) and i guess all i can say right now is, I'm glad about all that has happened to me. I didn't manage to write a graduation post so i'll make up for it now. (Technically though, today is the last day I'll be a rgs girl, not 31 oct when i graduated so it's kinda appropriate.) I'm really happy to have had the chance to be a rgs girl. It's been an experience like no other and i'm absolutely sure i would not have had as much joy or become who i am today if i had chosen any other school. I am sincerely thankful for all that rgs has given me and grateful to all the people i have met. Thank you all very very much.

To 409, my fabulous class, our last year together has been amazing. I think we really became closer this year and working together for all the class events was very fun.

To the classchairs, RX JW and Fiona, you all have done a wonderful job. I honestly do think that all the success we had this year would not have been possible at all without the efforts of the three of you.

To the group of people who can never meet on time (i am guilty too, to be honest, but only once), thanks for all the stupid and non-stupid stuff we do together and all the fun we derive from it. And yeah, just for being friends. :)

To the team, it hasn't been the easiest time staying in RGGym but i'm really glad i did. You all are very special, not to mention crazy, people and like i said months ago in my post gym comp post, i'm really going to miss you all.

To Claire, well, my thank you to you always seems to be long (especially in my Just-In-Case-Of-Anything Goodbye note which i wrote before leaving for Japan but more on that later) so i'll keep it short here. Thank you thank you thank you for being such a great friend and person to talk to. My wish for us in 2009 is to be able to decided where to eat when we're out in less than 10 minutes. :D

To my dear family, well, um, sorry for being nasty when i am which actually is pretty often because life gets hard but i do love you all very very much.

To my darling cat Zack, although I don't know where you are anymore or even if you're still alive, I pray you are well and still hope that you'll come back one day. You were the bestest cat ever with one hell of a personality. Love you sososo much, please come back.

To my turtle (because i don't give him/her the same amount as attention as i give Zack), even if your name is too embarrassing to write here (my fault actually, cuz i gave you that name), i love you too and wish i could release you without causing you to die. I promise i will continue thinking of ways to make your life better.

To Cheryl, thanks for everything you've done for my family and I these few years and hope you have a safe delivery!

To RX again, thanks for being my first fellow Arashi fangirl and one of the best people to fangirl to. I still wish we could have met up in Japan and gone crazy in Takeshita-dori together. Hope we'll still squeal to each other next year whenever we read or watch something new about them! :D

And to the rest of the people whom I haven't thanked yet, well, thank you. For everything.

That must be the longest thanks i have ever given. Even longer than my Just-In-Case-Of-Anything Goodbye note which i wrote before leaving for Japan. Yeah, once again, embarrassing but i am really scared of flying and in case anything happened (touchwood), I didn't want to leave without any last words.

But seriously, i think i have a lot to be thankful about this past year. May the next year be just as good or even better. I will welcome you with open arms, 2009.

This is it.

Tomorrow, I graduate.

What a feeling.

8:03 PM, Tuesday, October 28, 2008

It just hit me that i'm not ready for school to end.

Ridiculous, i know, but it just doesn't feel like it's time yet.

3 days is not enough to do all that i want to do before i leave.

Noooooo.

And i haven't even cleared out that locker of mine in which a lizard resided.

7:02 PM,

Yay High School Musical 3. :D

I admit even i thought there were some cheesy parts in the movie but on the whole, really worth a watch. And new songs! Personal favourites right now are "Can I Have This Dance", "A Night to Remember", and "The Boys are Back". That list will probably become much longer after I listen to all the songs over and over again. Heh. Yes, HSM songs are addictive as usual. Can't wait till we all know the lyrics and start singing them spontaneously.

Well, graduation's in three days and it feels really sudden. Like, after 4 years I have just 3 days left? Unbelievable.

My dad just told me not to laugh when i'm watching my videos because it sounds like i'm going crazy.

BUT, that's not the main point of this post. Well, in fact, this post hardly has a point at all. It's just a nice little update after what? A few postless months? Actually, what triggered this post was reading the blog of someone and realising how erm, lame blogposts can get and how much i wish my posts don't sound like that.

Life's been good :D It's slacker heaven, compared to the brothers of which one's facing A levels and the other year ends. Math tests officially closed with the last paper today and right now, all we gotta do is devote our time to Chinese! (wowee, cheng yu wan sui.) Papers are slowly trickling back to us these two weeks and i guess it isn't too bad. Only slightly annoying when your register number is right at bottom of the list and you have to wait nerve-grappingly at the end of the class watching the papers being passed back from hand to hand for what seems like eternity when all you want to do is grab your paper and receive the verdict. Yeah. At least my surname doesn't go by hanyupinyin.

Hmm, options. I got all my choices but I'd say not all are what I expected. Then again, i'm so late with this post that it doesn't really matter anymore since options are ending in like, a week? The timetables were astounding though. I had like 4 hours free in a row before physics.

The PITA (Pain In The Ass) shopping for FAM - as put by Guiqi. Haha, only 1 month to go! Time sure flies.

Teacher's Day Perf: Once again, extremely belated but it was awesome. I'm kinda only referring to the gym part btw. They managed to do everything even when the rain was coming down and making the mats slippery. Well done guys.

BBQ: Eh heh, so interesting and fun. Someone organise again!

Bingo is an amazingly fun game when you play with interesting topics instead of boring numbers. It's also completely addictive when it's Harry Potter Bingo. You definitely need to try it.

Netcarn's approaching, 3 days! :D V exciting, i think we're much better this year.

(I seem to be very disorganised and incoherent right now. Eheh, too much laughing i suppose.)

Anw, now that i have one less subject to worry about, i can work on my ever growing list of things to do! Yay :) There are so many things i want to do and you'd be surprised at some of them. Well well, let's just wait and see how my little projects turn out, shall we? heh, they're secret!

This post has been completely inane and i can't stand reading it anymore. Bye.

Happy 9th Anniversary, Arashi!

I am completely taken with Arashi starting nicely one day before their 9th anniversary. Love you loads, Arashi and mostly, MATSUJUN.

So. Gym comp 08 is over. It's a feeling of liberation as well as a feeling of loss at the same time. When i went to sleep, or more like tried to sleep, on tuesday night, i wished wednesday would never come. Because wednesday meant that comp would arrive, and comp would be over. And once comp was over, well, i guess it meant that my time in rgartgym would be drawing to a close too.

But of course, wednesday did arrive. C compulsory in the morning, B optional in the afternoon. I am very very very proud of all of you. C Div, you all were awesome, especially on the floor. I will remember to treat you all to slurpies. :D Brilliant job too, other members of the B Div. Your routines were spectacular, can't really say the same for my performance though. Gym Dinner 08 was at Han's Novena and i swear, near the end, everyone went crazy brewing disgusting concoctions and taking pictures. Performances were vv sweet, i think i would have cried if not for all the puns and funny stuff woven in.

Us and Jean!
