Tuesday, June 14, 2011Hai guys. :B I know it's been a while, and I apologize for my laziness. :SAnyway. Yesterday, I went on a mug date with my dear Mare and Zhamin. I didn't get much work done in all honesty, but what I'll definitely remember about it, was how they helped me to see some things in perspective. They did it in a pretty effective way- A way in which I accepted what they said pretty easily, cuz I thought it made sense; in a way in which I didn't feel compelled to fight back, not even in my head (which has been pretty explosive thoughts-wise, lately.) Cuz I realised how worried some people were over me, to the extent that they'd talk about me among themselves. I was so surprised; definitely touched and very very thankful too. To all my girls from TKGS (Sa, Fee, Zhamin, Mare, Si Jia), TPJC (Dory, Erika, Phyllis, Sarah) and from BOTH TK and TP (Fai and Nad), I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you have shown me especially during the last (especially) four years of my life. You should know that I love and reallllly appreciate you guys. Y'all make life so much more bearable, and I'm eternally grateful for your friendship. (Above-mentioned list not exhaustive, of course.) Before me ends off tonight, I'd like to show you guys the original version of my latest status update. "Sometimes (like now), me feels that being sentimental is only good for reducing people's hearts into gooey messes. Other than that, it's part of the reason why my room is so messeh and why I keep re-visiting the past in my head. WHICH GETS IN THE WAY OF A LOT OF THINGS. As I type this I'm thinking of counterarguments. But yeah whatever you get it." G'night guys I love y'all. Sunday, February 13, 2011[Edited 15 Feb, 2318h; new items in bold]HELLO!

(I think one word that features in close to all of my later posts is 'busy'. -.-) CM-ing, SYF, The As... What have you. :/ Don't expect this blog to be more alive than it was. Go check out my twitter (debzmemorymush) though! That I update almost everyday (98% of the time?), unless I'm out of town. OH. And. Some lyrics. Mare's right, it describes me so well. Well perhaps not the whole song, but the third-eighth lines at least.

(: I don't think I really chronicle my personal life here, cuz it's just too public. I mean, not like many people come here or anything, but yeah you get what I mean. My Mummy always warns me to be careful online, so I heed her words. Here, at least. But if you're reading this, you probably already know about my (personal) life luh. :) Lately I've even begun to feel that I perhaps say too much, and that makes me feel, show-off. :/ Gee. Okay luh I better go. I've a lot of (last minute; what's new) online homework and research to do! Thank you for reading my boring blog; I hope to reward all ye faithful readers at the end of the year when I'll be freeeee for like 8 months. I send my luv; have a great 2011 ahead babies! :) Saturday, December 11, 2010HELLO YES I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN THE LONGEST TIME!The holidays have been crazy busy. 2 WHOLE weeks have just whizzed by me. What I've spent it on: 1. 27th November- A class ice-skating outing (which was kinda phail given that only our dear civics tutor Ms Yeo, Chesna, Dory, Grace, Isaac, Phyllis and I went.) But it was fun. :) 2. 30th November-2nd December- A Combined Regional Chalet thing for Church. It was AWESOMESXZ. :D Got to make some new friends- Jolene, Claire, Steph... And managed to catch up with old friends like Abby, Elizabeth and Gab so it was cool. ^^V 3. 10th December- Choir Movie Marathon WHOOOOO. Okay so, it wasn't really a marathon, cuz we only watched two shows: Failure to Launch, and Toy Story 3. The former was a good rom-com starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew McConaughey. The latter, was laden with life lessons, not exactly a kids' show and was tear-jerking as it drew to a close, just as friends who've watched it said. To add on the tear-jerking bit, it's quite WHOE to me cuz we all know that crying is physically draining, and prior to this movie thing, I slept at 5+ in the morning. For someone who teared (rather than really cried) at her Graduation Ceremony thing last year (and at a school and with friends she LOVED), this is saying something. Thereafter we had a post-marathon hangout, where we played Chinaman to finish up the drinks, and the rest played assorted card games (I'm a card game dumdum), for which forfeits included finishing the drinks, and Truth or Dare. Played Shoot, Kiss or Marry (a PG version) as we left too. :D Had a htht with Nad when we bussed back. Boy was it good to get that Imagined List off my chest. :) 4. Choir Practice! Yeah, preparing for SYF next year lor. OH. I must say, that I love my Altos- Ain, Ariel (my prettaye co-SL), Em, Gillian, Gui Fang, Mindy, Nad and Xue Han. We DA MEAT (in the words of our conductor Ms Ong), and we take lots of pride in that. :DD United we're patty, divided we're... Minced. D: So yes, united we are. :) Can't say how much I love this buncha happy, high and lovely people. 5. Evangelistic-Gig (hereafter known as E-Gig) Choir practices! Yours truly has been heading to Redhill and Bukit Batok twice weekly for at least 3 weeks now to perfect the sole song we're doing, Joyful Joyful. It's from Sister Act 2, and we're performing for the second night of Rhema Conference 2010. (An annual youth conference my church, Grace Assembly of God holds!) 6. Chores. Especially when my Mum wasn't around, I was the unofficial Kitchen Guardian (though I didn't cook, just cleaned/maintained), and helped out with the laundry. 7. Going online for absurd amounts of time, and getting scolded/lectured/chided for my (sometimes resultantly) horrible sleep habits by the folks and Grandma. Oops. 8. Sleeping in. It's the holidays. Self-explanatory. All that means, that the only homework I've completed so far is reading Birds of Passage, Disgrace and writing One Sentence of my Lit report on the Apartheid. Yes, win I know. Given that tomorrow, I'll be out the whole day with my lame COOLies (my cell kids lah), Rhema (a whole-day affair, mind you) from Monday to Wednesday (though I'm likely to skip the day portion of Wednesday), and Choir practice from Wednesday to Friday. Oh Friday's prac is a morning And afternoon affair. Ohoh. Y'know this coming's week practices disrupted 3 events I planned?? THREE. My gosh. And I being good girl, being SL, will not pon. Choir I don't mind (though my complaints may suggest otherwise), but please please tell us earlier leh!! I signed up for Rhema cuz I thought my not having choir on those days was a Divine Sign to go for it. Then I was supposed to have a picnic with the Fabs (Fee, Mare and Sa), cuz I ASSUMED choir'd be in the morning on Thursday. I made tentative plans with Phyllis to mug on Friday. TOTALLY CANNOT NOW. Sigh. Anyhow. I better get off. Thank you for reading my boring blog Iloveyou. :) Ps: I'm busier during the holidays than post-PW! : / Wednesday, November 17, 2010Okay I'm gonna make the most of my last 19 legal minutes of leisure online time.Yep, I've been promoted. :) It's thanks to God's grace and PAP scores (the official name for class participation scores) really. What I'm not so happy about, is that it's taken 3 classmates of mine away. One's already left Singapore, one will do likewise in a matter of time, and the last will be repeating a year. And they're all guys so can you imagine, the lack of testosterone we'll have in class next year? :( Okay no seriously speaking, the girl:guy ratio was 3:1. Next year, it'll be 15:2. WHAT IS THIS??!? I do not like the promos for doing this to my friends, my classmates/fellow choristers/seniors. :'( To know that next year, you won't see some familiar faces in class, or even around school, is sad. I mean, this didn't happen in TKGS you know?? I can't really express my feelings in words lah, but this sucks. Oh and my dear Maremare- PLEASE BE MORE CAREFUL NEXT TIME!!! I hope your foot gets better pronto k. I'll pray for you. Life now is ~~. Like I'm not busy with tutorials/homework or whatever now, but choir has re-started, and tomorrow Ariel (my prettaye co-SL) and I will be leading at least 2 hours of sectionals. Cuz we're supposed to finish all 11 carols by Friday when Ms Ong comes in. And as of yesterday, we only finished 4. :S And some of us Altos (including yours truly) are still blur at some parts. God help us please! Y'know, I've been learning recently the importance of talking things out. It can really make or break a relationship, or make you feel 18209815 times better/worse. (If you're reading this, you probably know what I'm referring to, but also, there's more to it than you think luh haha.) I've found over the years, how someone I originally deemed annoying or not someone I'd really like to associate with, is actually quite nice and all, after I start talking to the person. Yesterday was good, for that reason. (No, not that I thought the person annoying lah.) :) It's midnight. Night honeybunnies. Ps: PW was outta my life forever and ever and ever amen last Friday. XD Thursday, November 11, 2010Okay, so OP was okay I guess.THE STATEMENT OF RESULTS WILL BE RELEASED IN LESS THAN 8 HOURS AND I AM DEAD SCARED. And I'm not making things better for myself with the fact that my Insights and Reflections (I&R) currently is composed of a measely 88 words, and words that are not EE at that. Did I mention that the first draft was due last Monday, and that even if I somehow finish it tonight, that my super-efficient supervising tutor may not have time to mark it today cause she's so busy with the written reports? Oh and that the final copy's due tomorrow?? Oh and I'm listening only to sad songs now. Totally not making myself feel better huh. Okay, I shall do my best to do my I&R now. And stop thinking about things that shouldn't matter. I am the cause of like I dunno, at least 90% of my problems? Sigh why do I never learn. Good night. Tuesday, November 09, 2010Heyhey.I don't think anyone really cares, but here's my Oral Presentation speech. :D "Thank you Ann Gie. My class's OP assessment will be held today, and ditto that of Mare and Gayathri. All the best to us, may we be graded as having Exceeded Expectations all the way! :) G'night. Saturday, October 30, 2010Everyone has a story about how someone whom they care for very much left the country for some faraway place.I guess this will be mine. Monday, October 11, 2010Yes, the CPR has worked.My tweeting and laziness rendered this blog unconscious for a month and a third. :S Anyhow. I find myself lacking the inspiration to blog these days, cause twitter is just a fantastic avenue to give status updates 24/7. Its 140 character-limit makes it all the better for people like me who are simply too lazy to type out chunks of words at a go. I realise that may not exactly be a good thing though. I think writing recreationally helps develop one's skills as a scribe, even if you can't rant or rave about random rubbish in exams. Yes, I speak as an arts student who takes the bare requirement to -balance- out her combination. Okay so, I have finished my Promos, and it was a disaster. And, when I say disaster, I don't mean 'wah die I'm not gonna get my As/Bs/Cs/Ds', I mean 'okay I'm just going to prepare for my 97% chance of getting... (fill in the dots)'. (I won't type it out cause people have sorta made me promise not to think/worry about it. Err, actually, I know I've kinda already broken the promise, but you must understand... Okay no there's no justifying this Deb.) If you're reading this, you'll probably already have heard me say/saw my text, but just for posterity's sake: I didn't answer the question for GP, mugged too little for Econs, didn't do half the Math paper and barely wrote the last out of 3 essays for Literature. CSE, well I should be able to pass, but that is certainly not enough to redeem me. My school's promotional criteria, is i. Pass 2 H2s and 1 H1, and ii. At least 30% for each subject. So there you go. Okok. I shall try and keep my promise and stop going on and on about this. The Statement of Results will be released in exactly a month, and that scares me no end, but it's not like I can turn back time so it's not really wise to emo and worry now. I've realised for me, that certain experiences, when not relived for long enough, tend to be forgotten. I forget what I did, how I felt... Though I figure their effects on me are probably still there, even if they code for just one tiny aspect of the way I am. Stuff like my experience in the TKGS choir (the Italy competition-trip, in particular), and even some aspects of being and singing with my current TPJC choir have been forgotten. Or at least cannot be recalled. For instance, I was actually complaining about the intensive practices we were supposed to have this week (5 times!) and yesterday, and I suspect it's simply because I have forgotten (just saying 'slipped my mind' doesn't cut it because it's too mild) the awesomeness of being there. And yes, you'll know if you read the last post that I LOVE THE TPJC CHOIR. I find the TPJC choir more fun to be in, as compared to the TKGS one. Of course, that is not to say that I've forgotten the merits of the latter. I made some awesome friends there (the Fabs and Jia Min), was part of a Gold with Honours choir Twice, had a conductor whom I could talk about with my Mum (because she used to conduct my Mum's choir)... Yeah. One thing I realised after I left though, is an inferiority complex that bugged me during a substantial part of my time there. There were so many people who took MEP and had vocal lessons, or who were just naturally talented there, and some other personal rubbish (which was exceptionally bad during the trip). Nonetheless, warm memories never fail to flood my little heart whenever I step into Beethoven room, that sacred place in which we spent hours singing, talking (oops), getting scolded and (not long before SYF 2007) crying in. That smell, that atmosphere, it just makes me feel young and happy again, and this is by no means an exagerration. Oh and I don't think they'll see this, but a big shout-out and thank you to all my friends and classmates (especially the CSE gang: Atiqah, Cla, Erika, Phyllis and Ying Xuan) who put up with all my rants about how I didn't think I was going to make it and the post-exam silent spells (when I'd just keep really quiet while everyone else discussed the paper, hoping someone'd notice my silence and ask if I was okay. Alas, this eyebrow-raising-what-on-earth-were-you-thinking tactic worked.) After the Lit paper, I cried within seconds of Cla approaching me. I told myself I wouldn't, yet I did. I mean who on earth will be as persistent and stupid about pursuing her you-finish-what-you start ideal, and spend 1.5 hours on the unseen poetry question which leaves you with a mind-numbing 15 minutes to do the last essay on?! To top things off, I picked the last question wrongly. -.- After the paper, I threw the string that was meant to tie up that uncompleted essay into my wallet as a reminder of the stupid things I do. Lord help me to surrender my life and being totally unto Your Hands; I can't manage on my own even if I'd like to. Because You Lord, gave me everything that I have. Good night darlings, my eyes are not staying open for long. Wednesday, September 01, 2010Hello I apologise if you're getting fed up coming here and seeing the same post for like 3 weeks straight. Anyhow.I REALLY WANT TO DO LINGUISTICS IN UNI. More more so than sociology at this point in time. I attribute this to a satisfying score in the GP Comprehension CA (not even 50% lah, but whatever) and my being able to suggest words/phrases in GP and Lit class fairly accurately recently. I don't mean to show off! It's just that because I don't seem to be good at a lot of stuff, this apparent little talent of mine just Demands my attention. When I write, I really try to be as accurate with my words- magnitude and meaning, as possible. It helps that I tweet so much rubbish most days too, haha. Most tweets are sent off with repeated checks. In addition, my having little faith in myself for the promos means that I've resorted recently to thinking that I won't mind retaining if TPJC were to offer English Language and Linguistics (ELL) next year. I really don't think that's gonna happen though, so really there's no escaping from mugging. (Was there ever anwyay??!?) GOD HELP ME PLEASE, REALLY. Oh did I tell you? If I do linguistics in university, I wanna join a dictionary-writing team after that. I mean like a proper, official dictionary lah. Not a random compilation of my pet phrases and words. (Although it'd be nice to do that too, haha.) Oh I'm Alto SL! Such a dream come true. (: I'm really glad to have been given this chance to do more than just teach my Altos new songs (as I learnt quite scarily during the try-out period), though I really hope we won't get a set piece with some complicated note-timings like Sounds of Joy next year. That's because I'm really scared of rhythms now as it is. So yep, I've been spammed by Gillian and Eliz (the president and vice-president respectively) these past few weeks, and been forwarding these official texts to my alto 2s. CHOIR'S AWESOME. It's fun, (at the very least) most of us are pretty passionate about it, and there's just this really positive vibe about us. I hope it lasts till all of us step down, and that we will step down with joy next year, having done well in SYF. Back to now, I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND MY RECIPES FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP AND PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES. :S Yes, those are meant to be Teachers' Day gifts, but out of the goodness of my massive heart I want to bake for my friends and families too, so MASSIVUS BAKING PROJECT AHEAD. I hope to be able to persuade one of the folks to drive me to Simei later so I can get some cellophane and construction paper, and baking supplies. Imagine lugging bags of floor and eggs up that flight of staircase. *faints* So yeah. I think this is gonna cost more than I think, but I hope I won't have to take too long to save and pay up for it. God help me please to have zeal later even as I make and put in the oven, small-batch-after-small-batch of cookies. Let the people I give these cookies to enjoy them too please. Thank You! Okay I'm finally getting sleepy again. The newspaper man just delivered the papers my gosh. I better go find my recipes, send out that e-mail and sleep. Quickly. Wish me luck today: I've a whole lot of baking to do, 14 or 16 cards/notes to make/write, and homework. God grant me strength please, to do all these quickly and well. Oh one more thought- I really long for the day when all of us girls will no longer feel inferior to another girl for what's only on the outside. It really gets to me when my friends say they wish they were prettier, or want to go for plastic surgery next time, or just plain say they don't think they're pretty. :( Hur one LAST thing- Friends, I love you. I'm sorry if I haven't been very sensitive or understanding towards you. I hope you'll forgive me if I've been any or even both of the above. G'morning. I need my shut eye as soon as possible. XOXO |
