Oh and. I'm on twitter. Email/catch me on MSN if you'd like to follow me.

Twitter's like the little sister to this blog. :)


Oh and. Check out the 'scribe' part on the left hand side. I made a bit of changes to it, haha.


Hey. I shall ATTEMPT not to post about what I've been up to, for once.

I'll try and do reflective, something I've wanted to do for quite a while already.

I'm currently waiting for that SMS. It's so stupid lah, having to tell people I know I'm not gonna get into my first 2 choices (the first being my dream school for 1 year plus at least, the second, where I thought I'd be going right after I got my results), but the furthest option I'll get is the fourth. So I tell them, I'm gonna appeal to the first choice. (Duh.) Why oh why do I always seem to set myself up for disappointment?? It's this stupid thing called lack of will. Cheesecakes and strawberries. If you ask me, no, I haven't gotten over my results, although I can definitely say I wasn't expecting a miracle to begin with. That your prelim score is twice that of your O level score isn't true. For me, at least.

Eek this is so emo.

Eek eek eek. :(

I'm trying to cheer myself up with Bon Jovi's It's My Life, as Aysehah suggested.

I remember how I originally wanted to go to AHS, but had to abandon the plan after I got my PSLE results. After 4 years in TKGS though, I'm really glad I got the T-score that I got. A few points more, and I'd have missed out on all the wonderful experiences I had at TKGS. (Of course, that's not to say TKGS isn't awesome academically or anything.)

I hope I'll have a good 2 years in JC, just like I did in TK. I've heard horror stories about JC in general, so perhaps it won't happen, but I guess I'll do best to simply leave it in God's hands; commit these two years to Him.

It'd be nice you know, if I could do TKGS proud by actually doing well for the Os. I honestly felt (and perhaps still do) that I was such a disgrace. I mean, TK's given me so much, that's just one of the things I should do to show some sincere gratitude. I complained about TK endlessly (and even now, after I've graduated), but it can be likened to how... Aiyah I don't know lah. Just know that with Deborah, something's not terrible if I complain endlessly about it. Really.

I want to continue, but I think I better go. Have an appeal audition at the first choice JC tomorrow with the main conductor, and definitely cannot afford to screw it up.

You know, I somehow had this feeling that perhaps by some miracle, I'll get into the first choice without appealing, but apparently, it ain't the case. (Don't ask me to explain.)

To everyone (and me!), I hope you wake up to some awesome news later. And that you'll have an awesome 2 or 3 years ahead of you in school. Even if it ain't what you really want at this point in time.

Good night morning.

HIIIIIIIIII. I've had a most busy January so far, as you can (kinda) tell from the lack of updates. Have been going out an insane number of times. I've had a lot of fun during the many outings, the superawesome class chalet and yesterday's really funnnnn ice-skating thing with COOL, my new and fabulous cell. :)

JANUARY THUS FAR (what I can remember offhand)-
3rd: First Service and Cell meeting as a CM
6th: Outing at Tampines Mall with Fiona, Jia Min and Mare
7th-8th: CLASS CHALET! :D Visited choir on the afternoon of the 8th with Mare. Cut hair! (I now have side-swept bangs)
9th: CM training in the morning. Visited TP open house with Gina in the afternoon.
10th: Visit to Uncle CK's/Auntie HD's/Russel's for farewell party. Went over to Min Jie's too. :)
11th: Results day. Cried at least 5 times, twice before I actually I got my results. -.- Didn't do well. Thank you to all the seniors and everyone else who was there for me that day. (:
12th: Visited the NYJC and NJC open houses with Mare and Fiona.
13th: Attended the MJC open house with Wendy, her Mum and Gayathri. Met a whole lot of TKGS and SHPS people there! Rushed off for waitressing at Mandarin Oriental, where I (willingly) worked till 0130 the next day and unfortunately, got the folks super worried in the process. :S I like putting on the chair covers there. Seriously.
14th: Choir appeal audition at Nanyang! I had to sing really high and really low. Went out with Jia Min and Brenda thereafter. Chinatown for lunch and bead shopping (for the two seniors), then Orchard to collect my pay for yesterday. Went on ALL the MRT lines that day.
15th: Off to Mandarin Oriental for waitressing again.
16th: Went back to school for CCA Promotion, attended CM training, met Iffa for the job application thing, collected pay, went home, went out again for (regional) CM cell.
17th: Cell breakfast at Long John Silver's in Tiong Bahru Plaza! Mare came over after Church to practice her song for the ACJC audition and talk. :)
18th-19th: Sleepover at Fi's with Mare, Sa and (duh) Fi! Went to Fi's, had lunch at Manhattan Fish Market in White Sands (saw someone there:D ), went crazy over coloured rubber bands and bought some for school, walked around, went to Mare's, had a very entertaining dinner, played truth or dare on Mare's phone, watched many movies, headed to ACJC for Mare's audition, went to Frolick at Tampines 1 to get a massive cup of yogurt with 3 toppings, walked around Tampines Mall, looked at TYS answers for last year's papers (Mare's idea), met Pei Hsin, talked to her, and went home. Had fun. :)
20th: Visited Gina, walked around, talked a lot, got treated to dinner at Macs. :)
21st: Outing with SHPS pals Germaine and Elizabeth. Walked around in the Tampines Malls, had lunch at Pasir Ris, bowled at E!hub, played at the Pasir Ris Park playground (they changed the spider web. The ropes are pretty colouful now), went to White Sands to get Germaine's dinner.
22nd: Did waitressing at Fullerton.
23rd: CM training. Went down to Orchard to collect my pay and buy a couple of things. Walked from Ion to Tanglin Mall because I couldn't find the bus stop. :S Infuriating, but I guess, stupid too. Met Janice and Gabby at the bus stop. :D Returned to Church, had lunch, planned cell for the 24th, copied Phyllis's notes and went for CM cell.
24th: Taught for the first time as a CM! With backing up from (co-CM) Aaron and input from Jeannie. Thanks a lot, you guys. :) Had an AWESOME outing lunching at Aston's and ice-skating at Kallang. Thank you to everyone (Aaron, Chloe, Charis, Eugene, Emmy, Gabriel, Ken and Kelvin) for your company and teaching (my first time ice-skating, see!) k! I love you all. (:

See you all sometime soon.

Love.

I originally wanted to do a reflective post. But my brain's too lazy to churn that sort of thing out now, so you'll have to do with a bzoink and blogthings quiz. :DD




Your Name Comes from Saturn



You are a hard worker, and you take your responsibilities seriously.

Some people may find you to be cold, but your sense of humor is hard to pick up on at first.

Combined Leaders' Retreat (CLR) was good! (: Finally felt a sense of belonging in R-AGE.

After the engaging (seriously, it was) CM training and some pretty fun games on the 31st, dinner was with all the nice -seniors- and one Pastor even. Talked to (new friend) Jessica and (not-so-new friend) Su Hui Jie thorughout the entire 45-minute journey (we WALKED) to G2 thereafter for Watchnight Service. (Grace 2; it's a -branch- of Grace AOG) Really pleasant, the whole walk. :D Watchnight was Awesome, the first time I stayed for the entire service the six years I've been in Grace. Really fun, what with the cheer for Pastor Ronald, highing, wishing and all. (Although I couldn't remember practically the whole cheer despite being briefed twice about it.) Travelled back to the Salvation Army Campus in Bukit Timah where we were staying. Bathed, watched people play some card game (Gin) and played one round. I didn't fare too badly in that round, thanks to Adora. :) Went to bed at 3.

Next day, I was sleepy during worship and devotion (lack of sleep). Workplan was somewhat exciting. I'll not be going back to P.O.G as I originally hoped, but I'll be going to COOL. (I've no idea if the whole thing is supposed to be in caps) I'll be CM-ing with this dude called Aaron (who's CMing COOL for the second year running). I already know all 4 girls in my cell. :) The other 7 or so guys... Well I'll get to know them in due time. Lunch was a regional affair, with plans for tomorrow being made. Teambuilding and a session on worship-leading next. Technical, with time to practice and reinforce. Dinner was fun with Kristine, Agnes and Stella, all of whom were froom COOL. Worship and prayer followed. Then, supper! Hahaha. Went to Railway Mall with the 5 abovementioned COOL people; was a blast! Had fishball noodles, talked, laughed and bullied. :B Stella was like totally high walking back lah. Played Articulate! with quite a big bunch of people (Joong Yan, Leng Shan, Joel, Adora, Bryson, Samuel, Nicole, Iman and Tiffany) after that. Funnnnnnnnnn. :D Retired at 3+.

TODAY, I got up late despite being woken up 3 times by Gabby and Agnes, so I missed breakfast and went straight for worship and devotion by Michael. -Debrief- later by Pastor Cui Xian, quite uh, intersting. :D Packed up, made by longgggg way home. (21 train stops k!)

Random reflections:
1. I'm somehow am not that afraid of being a CM now. Yaye.
2. I thank God for the great time I had there, all the people who talked to me, invited me to play games with them, basically made me feel welcome.
3. I gotta have more faith.

Yaye.
