When all roads lead me to yesterday

P1032841P1032842
P1032846P1032848

I think in everyone's life, we all enter a particularly difficult stage where everything goes wrong. Funny how that's where I am, even though it's only been 3 days into 2009. At least I have things to be grateful for, and like, I realise now how much more I want for myself. I want so much in life it scares me you know. I am afraid of not getting what I want, and I'm even more afraid of getting what I want.

Anyway, A's are coming closer & closer each day & I am terrified. I feel like no amount of studying can prepare me for A's, and I feel like I can't even get down to studying in the first place. Timetable for next year sucks btw.

2009, please get better alr?

You won't be seventeen forever.

Hi guys, how about its 2009 now, and I'm so not prepared for all the responsibilities to face/decisions to make/notes to study blah blah blah blah blah.

Recap of 2008:

Best moments:
OCIP, the day we completed PW, Spongebob party in SR, Jiehui's party (when things were less complicated), S27 mass bitching session + outings, certain parts of rhema

Worst moments:
Every time we had to do PW, August when we had to cope with MSAs, WR, and OCIP.

Funniest moments:
When Yew Hung went:
"I swear there's a frog in my boot" &
"Why is this lemon puff spicy"

Laughing at our bestfriends.

Worst thing I did:
Lose 12 inches of my hair, hand up the wrong bio paper

Best thing I did:
Sign up for OCIP

Most significant people this year:
Pelyn Tan (read your blog :D rmb how I'm gng to open a stingray farm to feed you next time!), Tingzhi, Charlene, Suzy, Enli, Jiehui, Fafa, Lia, Bellyband, all my OCIP fwenzxxx, SR friends :D

In conclusion, 08 wasn't all that great, but it wasn't exactly bad either. I'm just glad for all my friends, and all the good things that have happened. I don't really know what to hope for 09, I'm just hoping we'll all study for A's, get over it, and have the time of our lives, and possibly return to Cambodia. In 09, I'm just going to lead a simple, uncomplicated, drama-free life. I'm going to study five days a week, and sleep & eat everyday. Life is going to be all good & chilled, okay.

Anyway, Jiehui's house is totally the bomb. We totally slacked there since ytd afternoon. Guys having xbox marathon, girls having movie marathon. It was quite funny going gaga over certain people. Tee hee. I am so tired & fat now. We ate nonstop and I'm not kidding about that. Check out my belly, woohoo.

In the next twelve days before our worst nightmare starts, I'd like to
1. Study everyday
2. Meet up w Pelyn, Enli, Suzy&Tingzhi&Charlene
3. Do Christmas shopping (as Char said, I'm "one year late". so sorry guys)
4. Go for teambuilding game on 7th & gathering on 10th

So many things to do, v little time.

Happy New Year Friends!

P.s. I think my chinese damn pro now can.

P.p.s I don't want to be eighteen, how old is that.

You're up & you're down

I am finally back… It’s been tiring with long bus rides everyday, incessant chatter from the tour guide, shifting hotels every day or so, and walking till your legs ache. Christmas was really weird this year, didn’t feel like Christmas at all. No church, no Christmas service/drama, no friends to spend it with. But we did spend Christmas Eve at a farm, watching fireworks. Still… not much Christmas magic there. It’s funny how there used to be this magical thing about Christmas, but as we grow up, it seems to fade away, a little more each time. Anyway, here's my trip in pictures:

& today's New Year's Eve. Looking back, this year seemed really long, and really short simultaneously. I can't believe it'll be 09 tomorrow. This is quite a stupid post, all pictures, little words. Blahblahblah. Ask me out to study friendsss (:

Smashed up hearts hung out to dry

Edit: I never expected to fly off this soon. We're all not off to a good start. Decided that it'll be too troublesome lugging this thing around, so updates when I come back, unless I chance upon some Internet cafe. I'm not looking forward to going there, neither am I looking forward to come back. Because when I do, I'll be faced with lots of deadlines, most of which I will not meet I think. Sometimes I hate how I cannot seem to manage my time properly. Other times I resent how time moves at the speed of lightning. I expect quite a lot of contemplative moments during this trip: it'll be a good time to get away from people and just... think. See you guys & have yourselves a merry little Christmas.

In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you


I like how my life now is seemingly unremarkable. I think sometimes we complicate our lives, filling it w drama & all. But I like how things have been: simple, predictable. Am going to fly off soon (& I've barely started packing, besides a few clothes & toiletries.) I hope life after I come back will involve studying. All I've done after Rhema ended was to meet up w Enli, watch Twilight w Charlene, watch The Day the Earth Stood Still w Pelyn, and go for Candlelight service w Tingzhi.

I realise I hardly ever spend Christmas here, with my friends. I'm always flying off. Sometimes, it makes me sad to know that while everyone here's having their own countdowns/parties/celebrations, I'm off in a foreign land, having another (lonely) Christmas. It's just different, not being able to be here with your friends. On the other hand, it also feels weird not having a church/cell to celebrate it with. But oh wells, maybe I'm spend Christmas here next year Just maybe, because I have a sinking suspicion I won't.

Before I end, please support my best friend:
