HEY LOVES. okay i've had 39341 complains with regards to the lack of updates! sweethearts, it's been five days. *slitty-eyed face hahaha, but not to fear, Angel's here. :D (pardon the corny ryhme. hahaa.)
okay, let me start with updating on PEE-DOUBLE-YOU. (pw aka project work/pointless work) SO, results came out on Friday the 11th. Take this scenario: 1) Night before, pw didn't even cross my mind once. 2) On the day itself, subtly forced myself to feel the worry that everyone's feeling. Conformity doesn't always work, so they say. Angel remains very much-so composed.
I wonder if it was the evil sense of over-confidence that I might get the best possible grade, or was it just the reluctance of the mind to accept anything other than that grade? The former I hope not, the latter probably. In context, my dream college was VJC. i told myself then, i'd never go to tjc, but i let myself into the mentality that ooh, if i dont get into vjc, there's always tjc. there you go, and here i am
3) 20 minutes before results are released. I blast into a flurry of inner travesty and panic. All thoughts of hydrology in physical geography lesson came to a halt. My pulse hasten, my mind raced. One year of work - what if it came to naught? So they say, the mind is one's worst enemy.
4) Entering the hall, we settle down in our linear arrangement of classes. (sappy pw pictures during pilot day were flashed on screen must to the delight/dismay to the students) Hwee Geok, Rachoo and I held hands. I swear my palm pespired.. hahaha. :) Hang on.. why were the cameramen and reporters here?
5) The basis of our fear? TJC was never known to be strong in pw, relative to HCI and RJC and our fellow top five-rs in academic capabilities. In 2006, TJC "boasted" about 7% distinctions. That means the probability of seeing Mr Veera without a bottle of coke in his hands will actually be higher than bumping into someone with an A. Compounded with my knowledge of the emphasis placed by SMU on pw, since it's a representation of your teamwork/leadership abilities, my knees have every right to grow weak.. haha.
6) So they showed the statistics! and the rumour realised. around 87% of tjcians attained a distinction in project work. Mind you, that's a more than a 10-fold increase. After Ms Ying relished in her honour and well-deserved pride, they then showed the classes who attained distinctions all round. There were 13 in total. I told Chun Han, cancelling the TA classes, hmmm, there's still hope for us.. hahaha!
7) 20/07 (followed by cheers)..... 21/07 (followed by greater cheers) here's when our hearts literally stopped.., TWENTYTWO O' SEVEN.
8) Tears streamed down my face. It's something to get an A, but it's that meaningful when you achieve success as a class. :) Happiness soared within me. My first A!! One down, five more to go. :DDD WELL DONE 22/07! love you guys.
But this A is not mine alone. Here's thanks going out to:
1) MUMMY AND DADDY
For if it weren't for mummy, Sir John Harrington wouldnt even be in the picture. :) Thanks mummy for sparking the idea even if it was initially a joke made at me, you're a genius, you really are. Thanks to daddy for being my pillar of strength. :) I love you both a million donuts.
2) TJ104: Alethea, Aston, Hwee Geok and Karan.
We weren't the perfect group, but it's out imperfections that makes the perfection of success ever sweeter. I thank you for all the times you guys stood by each other. The experience, is definitely once-in-a-lifetime. :D (cause no one can pay me enough to go through the shit again!!! hahahhaa) we did it :)
3) Ms Ying Min
Through your harsh exterior, I actually love your sacarsm, your thought processes and your want-it-get-it attitude. :) more than a teacher, you were my impetus, my inspiration. Thank you so much for believing in us. All those nights marking pi's, written reports (the 3000-word horrors)... you're much apreciated.
4) Ethan Koh
"Je Cherche Un Homme"
Those nights/mornings. Those calming words through my frustration.
Especially when my script got deleted from my comp the night before op. you were always there on the other line. Thank you my angel. my stronghold, the keeper of my sanity.
5) Nan Xiao/Chun Han/Shaikha/Safirah :D
Hey dearies. you guys earned the medal for being the best recipients of all my tears and complains and woes during the course of my pw!! :D hahaha, thanks for all the times you just stood in awe while i cried, complained and just vented my frustration. your companion, and patience is more than i could have asked for. Especially going out to Nan Xiao. :) All those times, I wouldn't know what it'd be like without you by my side.
6) EVERYONE WHO'VE PLAYED A PART(: i love you, nuff' said.
UPDATE TWO on girlsdayout tomorrow :D loadssss of peeeektures! LOVE.

It makes me feel as though everything's going to be alright, with you here by my side. Enwarped in your warm embrace, as i caress the morning rays on your face. -just some random musings evoked in me when i listen to the song. (:
ALRIGHT. i know i'm supposed to blog about today and pw (: but i'm really washed out! I'd be here tomorrow again. (:
LOVE YOU BANANANAS :D

I love my bestie in college, Lim Chun Han (: For without her, sanity wouldn't be in my dictionary. For without her, nothing would be the same.
:D we have a SPECIAL relationship, hahaha, nikkits my girl!.

HI TO THE MOST HECTIC WEEK EVER, that's practically left me stone cold in a corner.
(p.s thanks for the shot, (:)
I wanted to upload loads of peektures, haha, but i'm tight for time tonight. Just settled down from tennis session, horribly exhausted. But my tasks list is beckoning me for attention.. :(
I shan't depress you with the details of my week. And i think by typing out my schedule, it's going to validate me of the hell i'm going through, and that's going to depress me further! hahaha. nuuuuu! I shall be optimistic!
For Tao Tsing once said, If your goal seems unattainable. Don't change your goals. Instead, change the path leading to it.
HI TO THE WEEK OF HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND FOCUS. (:
LOVE.

SAY HI TO THE NEW GEEK :D (ahem.. SEXY geek :D hahahaaaa.)
I was gooply excited to collect my new emporio armani's. (: fitted them, and boy do they feel good.. haha. I don't really think I'm good with specs though, cause no matter where I get them from, or however correct the degree is (or they claim it is), I still get dizzy spells so I can't wear them often. (:
Off to shower now, be back later! XD
LOVE.
7:45 AM
A very good morning my darlings (: It's SATURDAY MORNING. beautiful day isn't it? haha. Being so drained yesterday, I went to take a nap at around 0645pm, only to wake up at 1054 to go to the toilet. Since I was already in the bathroom, took the chance to brush my pearlies! I love fresh breaths. Was contemplating on waking up to do some work, but the next thing i knew, i was sprawled all over my bed once more. (: haha, i'm such a lazy bum. So, I woke up at 0645am!! FIRST TIME ON A SATURDAY MORNING. My good pals would know that I'm not a morning person. (: I'm a nightie. But I hopped out of bed (not even dragging! :D) and cooked some scrambled eggs for breakfast. Going to be a long day today, attempting to shorten my "58-tasks long to-do-list". But before that, here's one of my all time favourite songs. He used to wake me up on Sunday mornings with this song, (: and it'd leave a bitter morning all cheerful while i cuddle amidst the chilly sheets and touseled hair. Enjoy! :D
SUNDAY MORNING by Maroon 5
Sunday morning rain is falling Steal some covers share some skin Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy Living life gets hard to do And I would gladly hit the road Get up and go if I knew That someday it would lead me back to you That someday it would lead me back to you
That may be all I need In darkness she is all I see Come and rest your bones with me Driving slow on Sunday morning And I never want to leave
Fingers trace your every outline Paint a picture with my hands And back and forth we sway Like branches in a storm Change of weather Still together when it ends That may be all I need In darkness she is all I see Come and rest your bones with me Driving slow on Sunday morning And I never want to leave
But things just get so crazy Living life gets hard to do Sunday morning rain is falling And I'm calling out to you Singing someday it will bring me back to you Find a way to bring myself back home to you
You may not know That may be all I need In darkness she is all I see Come and rest your bones with me Driving slow on Sunday morning Driving slow, yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
There's a flower in your hair I'm a flower in your hair
(: i miss the fresh, crisp air of turkey in the morning and the great company.

haha, okay, here's my resounding answer to all the woeful calls of my darlings to start updating! (: i'm here, i'm here!
HAHA, okay, so we were bored after geog ended, and since i didnt feel like disturbing the guitar sectionals going on in close approximity to the cannot-make-it piano, chun han, me and nan xiao went to have fun with this model of a globe that was on the atrium!! whee.
DISCLAIMER: we're truly sorry.. okay, at least i know i am, if you, yes you! are the proud maker of the super delicious globe :D no harm intended really! (:
Chun Han suddenly asked me to stand on the tables in front of the stage.. and i was like.. NOOO. haha, the tables were darn high and were strategically right smack in the middle of human traffic. Especially since this was BEFORE i found out what she was up to ((: haahaha. turns out she was being the smartee that she always is! :D hahaha! she wanted to take an illusion picture of me standing on the globe!!! (: SO after i realised, i was like hahahha, okay let's do it! So i got on this really shaky chair (with fingers crossed!) and like buckled my knee and did the twist sign to look awkwardly hilarious... ahem, did it work?? :D
okay, the "a" is not a proclaimation of the initial of my name! but was part of the word "earth" that was supposed to be on it. (: haha.
i swear my memories of tjc will not be the same without the both of you (: love you girls. you rock my minks and moes. haha.
okay! i shall run along.. shower fairy's calling me! :D p.s gym session was goosh! (:
love.
