hello all you people of the world!
i've been absent for quite some time, but i'm back now! follow my pictures as i recap!(((:

this is some random poster i saw at the Cafe. i thought it sounded rather profound, don't you think?

isn't this just so effing cool? these were the little pieces of cloth that each OG had to paint on, which they sewed together to form the word "SAINT". brings back memories of how my OG3 got paint all over the gallery floor. heh(:
look look, can you see the word "OG<3"?>
either Neha or Jaime told me i looked like a spaz when i was standing there, taking these pictures. random memory.

CCA sign-up! the path from the cafe all the way to LT1 was absolutely packed even before it officially started! &i got a free popsicle from the entrepreneurship club people. (: but it was all melted by the time i wanted to eat it.
thats my new CGmate, Keed! his name is really cool- Seong Hoon Eu Keed. i hope i got that right. he was from SAS&is now in Water Polo! he was wandering around aimlessly with a wad of "Join Water Polo" flyers in his hand the whole time. funny dude.
&there's Rachel Wong! i wanted to take a picure of her since the handphone was already in my hand, &i guess the girl from SAJC Tennis wanted to promote her CCA through whatever means possible.


&then was the time where a bunch of us went to the gallery to emo when it was raining really heavily. Jaime was being a mugger&reading her econs notes, while Keed busied himself by trying to count raindrops.
LIFE CON DAY!!!!
finally, friday arrived. (((:
had school&i submitted my consent forms&cheque for the UK Trip! i hope all my other friends can go too cos then it'd be really really fun!
don't talk to me about the Maths Test.
after school, we illegally used a classroom to watch Russell Peters. that guy is seriously hilarious ok, i was laughing my ass off. while watching the show, Zach was trying on different ways of using Jessie's white hairband. so i snapped some shots while Borge kept jabbing me to tell me to "listen carefully!" to Russell Peters.

went downstairs after being chased out of the classroom by one of the school's attendants. finally took a group shot, but it didn't look nice. see, the lighting was horrible&my camera made it even worse. but whatever, it's still a group pic!
&look at this!!! friends from my OG2 (no ordinary OG) came back to SAJC! woohoo! there's Nic, who misses SA&hates TJ(with good reason, i might add). &on the right is the guitarist for the Life Concert, Mr. Ashley B. Rob Yeo! so happy to see them again ok(((: miss the old times.
Denice came back too! but i forgot to take a picture with her. i'm such a nut. sorry Denice, i was just too happy to see you that all other thoughts just completely disappeared from my mind!
LIFE CONCERT 2007
&how was Life Con? in a word, it ROCKED!
we were seated right in front, &i had all my friends around me! my OG2mates, OG3mates, 07A02 friends, &even 07A10 friends! you cannot even begin to imagine how happy i felt to have all the people that make SAJC such a wonderful place for me.
even before the Life COn began, there was already a lot of action going on. getting tickets, finding friends, getting pretty glowsticks, taking pictures&such.
the concert began&ended with a bang. not only cos the music was great, but cos we were sitting right in front of the speakers just so we can support Ash, &so the music was really blaring into our ears. i felt deaf after the concert ended.
OG2 supper after Life Con! not many people were there, but i had a good time catching up with them, even those who were still in SA, cos we seldom see each other due to the different classes we're in. parted with them at around 10pm&dropped by at this Thai restaurant where my A10friends were dining.
Borge didnt't want to leave yet, so i went off first with Rachel Wong&Nic&walked across the big grass patch to the MRT station. was totally shagged when i reached home, but i ate&bathed first before i plopped myself into bed. fel asleep promptly.
YAY LIFE CON!
YAY SAJC!
YAY OG2!
YAY 07A02!
YAY OG3!
YAY 07A10!
i am one blessed girl.


LOVE,

hello people(:
today's post shall be random.
everyone look at my pretty orange socks! they make me happy cos they're really bright, especially against my black shoes.
Jessie approves of my socks, so they've got the thumbs-up from her. it's just upside-down.
we're trying to condition ourselves to actually listen during lectures so that we can actually learn something. but we're crazy people, we can't help but do crazy things.
the picture on the left is Dory's drawing of Jared. i think it's a really good portrait, captures the essence of Jared.
on the right it's a picture of me, Neha&Jessie being mean&making fun of someone in our school. i cannot imagine myself doing this all the time, my lips would hurt. don't say i'm being mean. if you tried doing it yourself then you'd understand.

look at my friends' hair! Jaime has the school's coolest hairstyle. seriously, it's so damn nice. i can't stand her for having such a cool hairstyle. can't believe the teacher told her to cut her hair. our CT has absolutely no style. &my CT has the same name as me, except for my surname. damn, someone stab me. or better yet, stab her.
Zach had a haircut in school. got caught for his hair(finally), so had to have his hair cut by a hired barber. all the boys who were sitting at the gallery&waiting for their haircut looked really sad. like they were being sent to the gas chambers, or something. some of them looked fine with their haircut, but some had a really raw deal.
i'm glad to be a girl.
Zach was being super narcissist&obsessing over his hair. &he carries his huge bag everywhere. it's really really big. it spans from one side of my waist all the way to the other. it's a strange feeling to carry such a gigantic bag.
oh&it's practically empty.

_
school's been alright. happily socialising with my old classmates&new classmates&OGmates too. (((: &so far, my attendance for lectures has been pretty good, much better than during the PAE. skipped history though, cos it was a bridging lesson&i wanted to get my fingerprinting thing done. skipped the library talk too cos it sounded stupid&pointless&boring.
went for tau huay with Jessie&Jaime before heading home in the light rain cos i was too lazy to take out my umbrella. a little rain never hurt anyone. well not me at least.
bye all(:


LOVE,

Happy 17th Birthday
NICHOLAS LAU DE LIONG

yes yes, it's Nicky's birthday today. but first let me tell you about school.
school was an utter bore. other than meeting up with my classmates again, nothing exciting happened. the end. oh yah, i'm now in 07A10.
_
ok now to the birthday thing.

went home after school for the sole purpose of taking Nic's present, cos he didn't confirm with me if he could meet up with us after school by 6.45am, like he was supposed to. so i trudged all the way back, took his present, &walked back out to the bus stop again. didn't even have time to rest cos the Birthday Boy wanted to meet at 3pm. see Nic, i am such a nice person ok!

burst out laughing in the middle of Junction8 when i saw Nic in his TJC uniform. sorry, but it just looks so wrong.
untucked&folded, not much of a difference.

anyway, we wanted to eat. i suggested Macs, but no, it's too cheap for the Birthday Boy. so we ate at Swenson's! his treat, of cos. Nic finally opened the big huge yellow plastic bag which contained his huge big orange-based present from Verine&me. it's so pretty!!



so snapped some shots then persuaded him to get the Curry Chicken Baked Rice instead of the one that resembled goop, &it tasted really good! oh&by this time, Verine had already joined us. had this free 3scoops of ice cream cos it was Nic's birthday(((: i love ice cream.
NEOPRINTS! except for that one photo (stop laughing Nic), it was really really fun to take neoprints with them. doing the world's most ridiculous poses&some caught-off-guard shots as well. but it was really really super funny, couldn't stop laughing most of the time.

_

emo-ed the whole way home. still feeling emo.
rachel, stop being such a emofied freak.
stop it stop it stop it. ))):

hello world.
finally went shopping today. first stop at TM, where they didnt have my size for the only shoes i liked. i really really loved the red canvas shoes. so depressing. i was so affected that i forgot to walk around TM, &so reached Orchard around a half hour earlier than i should.

met up with Zach&Marc, then headed over to Far East to get my red tote/sling bag from 77th Street. yes, i finally got the bag i've been looking at for so long. was quite disappointed when it started to fall apart one hour after buying it. ok it did not fall apart per se, it was just a tiny little piece that fell off. Zach, the evil lion, found it hilarious for a really long time. but at least he fixed it for me.

Marc got his school bag too! his is a Converse back pack. Marc is super horrible when he shops for bags. he makes the poor sales people take the bags down off the wall where it's hanging, looks at it awhile, decides it's not that nice or over budget, then hands it back to the poor sales people again.

Zach only got a brown handphone case, &it's super nice cos i chose it. his old handphone pouch looked super worn out, like rats had chewed at it.

we got hungry so we ate. then went to hunt for my shoes, but none were as nice as the beautiful Converse shoes. made a final effort to persuade them to watch a movie with me, but to no avail. it's all Zach the Evil Lion's fault.

but thanks for accompanying me to go shop guys(: much appreciated.

the guys carrying my new red bag(:
_
where are all the people that i need to talk to now? why are they not here??
I MISS MY BESTIE NUR MASTURA AYU))):
babe, save some time for a meet up with your bestie here can? i openly declare that i miss you already ok! u better come meet me soon.

i am so severely bored.

i am seriously so severely bored.

you can't even imagine how bored i am.
_

ok, shall stop talking about how bored i am. i tried doing some work in the morning&i did. successfully organised all my notes&tutorials&readings from the first intake. it took a grand total of 15minutes, but whatever, at least i did something today.

oh yes.
who is free tomorrow? i will love anyone who will go out with me tomorrow to get my bag, shoes, &chill with me. i will even treat you to a very very cheap lunch!

i really really need to get my school supplies&i really really need to get out of this house. save me, someone please.

PLEASE.
_

on a happier note, i will soon be the owner of a 50cents shark called LongKang. (((: but i owe someone lunch, dinner&supper just for helping me to get that cheap little thing. i didn't even want a shark, i wanted a turtle. bad customer service still can charge such high tax.
but nevermind, it's still a soft toy(:

_

OG2 BBQ was really fun. met up with all my darling people from the first intake OG that made me fall in love with SAJC. spent the night catching up with them, bitching about people, laughing at the himbo&bimbo of OG2, cooking my satay. it was a big reminder of why i love my OG2 so much.

was feeling really emo last night (Marc, Nic, Verine&Dickson would know) cos i really miss OG2 so much. there's just this connection between us, &we all just click real well, like pieces of a puzzle. now everytime i go out, i will smile to myself cos there seem to be happy OG2 memories everywhere.

nothing will ever be the way it was before, but as Dickson said- don't be sad cos it's over, smile cos it happened. you'll be happy to know that i've successfully rearranged my facial bones into a smile(:

oh&before i go, i cannot emphasize this enough-
NEXT MONTH IS APRIL :D
people who were at the BBQ should get the hint.

I LOVE OG2!

hello all!

due to requests, i shall update my blog. it's not that i didn't want to, it's just that everytime i type a super long entry, my computer decides to hang.
i swear, my computer hates me. it's alive, i tell you.

so 2nd orientation just ended on Friday, &the only really happening day(as compared to the rest) was yesterday.

Third Day of Orientation
we had some House Council thing in the morning where they told us about our houses&introduced us to the House Council&all that.

registration with CTs was boring too.

"The Quest", which was a series of dry games at various locations, was fun. i'm proud to say that OG3 ran&cheered like nobody's business. we didn't win everything, but the spirit&enthusiasm was there, &that was what that made it really enjoyable. (:

had a really long lunch break. there was nothing to do so we stoned outside the Popular bookstore for awhile, then went to the gallery instead. interacted with my OG mates(:

CHOLI CHOLI DANCE! forget the rock-step-kick, the toss-the-roti-prata action is so much more fun! Amelia&i were freaking hyper, we even added in our own choreography into the dance. (: got pushed up on stage to dance alongside the other sabo-ed people. that wasn't fun but it wasn't embarrassing either since there were others up there with me.
oh&who could forget Wee Jing Feng aka the Chicken Dance Girl doing the HipHop version of the Chicken Dance?

squeezed in a few minutes of cheer practice before we headed for the gallery again, this time for Finale Preperation. since ours was a cheering OG, we really didn't have anything to do. so after painting our flag, Marc, Clarisse, Zach&i just sat there&emo-ed while listening to music. oh we took pictures too&i have them now thanks to Marc.

headed off for dinner after slacking. Marc&Zach were telling our OG mates that they were going out for dinner&trying to get them to return their food. looked fun so i decided to join in too. bought pataya rice (however you spell it), &the pattern on mine looked way nicer than Zach's.

after eating, Marc, Zach, Amelia&i walked around school with the intention of making friends with loners. we couldn't find any, so we stood at this block that was really near to the highway&did some synchronised waving at the people going by. damn spaz, i know, but it's real fun. some actually waved back.
went back down to the Cafe&donned our identity, which basically was pieces of cloth which we were supposed to tie around our wrists&heads. headed to the CC, &i really wanted to sit with my OG3, but was forced to the front to do my Kingdom Warrior duties. i got such a short cape, unlike the other warriors whose capes reached the floor.
BUT Saverdo won Best Cheer&Best Kingdom! yeah! (: major happiness.

Disco Night was quite fun. not quite as exciting as the first one, but fun nonetheless. danced&jumped&shouted&goodness knows what else i did with OG3&oldOG2. i could actually tell what songs the band was playing this time, &there were much more contemporary songs- thank goodness.

after Disco Night, we headed to the Kopitiam near the school for OG3 supper- attendance of a grand total of 9 people, &one of them wasn't even from OG3. but it's ok, had fun talking to them though i was dead tired by then.
_

now for the pictures.

my emo friends (marc, me, zach, clarrise)
pataya rice: zach's vs. mine
of cos mine looks way nicer.

no idea why we came up with this pose.
while waiting for the rest of the girls to come out of the toilet.

bye all(:
i finally posted something.

PART THREE
bear with me people this is the last segment. oh actually i bet you're having loads of fun! (: such nice pictures&so few words.
so, when Toys'R'Us beckons, you heed the call. &that's exactly what we did.
don't you think jessie looks like elmo?
Jiali's hot new bag&our hot new ride.
Neha says: "Mum, Dad, meet my new boyfriend."
the HOT jiali&i killing monster robots.
we love Barney, but Neha prefers to throttle the friendly purple dinosaur.
everyone clap your hands at my amazing acrobatic act. i think Jiali was trying to torture me cos she held the hoop so high up.
we're for sale. any takers?
the bimbo side of us- playgirl's bunny ears&feathered boas.
"hello, i would like to report a hole in the road. it's very dangerous, people keep falling in."
"ok, i'll block the road."
they're enviromentalists- save the trees.
i love Jessie, but Neha&i just want to thump the living daylights out of each other.
i don't know what we're doing with those balls, but the other picture is one of a mini-barber shop. so cute(:
everybody loves Geoffrey the Giraffe.
Neha's sexy truck&Jiali's new umbrella being put to good use.
Marche cows are appealing- it's all in the udders baby.
_
first intake is over. so what is new? we'll just have to wait&see.
thank you to everyone who's been encouraging&comforting me&praying for me. means a lot to me(:
thank you to all my friends in SAJC who've made life in the first intake a complete joy for me. i love OG2, i love 07A02, i love Fruit Basket. i will miss all you people real bad.
it's one o'clock. eh wait no, it's already past that. so in approximately less than 7hours, we'll know where we'll be posted to. all the best to everyone(: my fingers, toes, hands, legs, &every other part of the body that can be crossed are crossed.
but ultimately,
pray&believe.



LOVE,
