Pretty pretty tulip bulbs by Liwei today!! encouragement for yesterday's Ching performance..so sweet! ok now my fav flowers are tulips...hahaha..

From the mountain:
Sometimes, the world will force you to bear the load, and you must be both silent and still. So many bear so much, yet are silent and still. The beat continues, and the prayer continues, on the inside.

Mountains~~

This song's beautiful! Cried when i saw the mtv..super inspirational~ i love mountainwings!
Mountains==========
Lucinda Jones workin' at the IHOP:
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs an' tears
She's waited on every creed an' color,
While waitin' on this day to get here
Graveyard shifts, two big tips,
Makin' every quarter count,
Was worth it all to see her son,
In that cap an' gown

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb

Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war,
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
Hell bent to run in that local marathon,
He trained through the endless pain an' pills
It hurt so bad that sometimes,
He just had to cry,
He didn't stop until he crossed,
That finish line

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,
So we could learn how to climb

This world ain't fair,
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there,
Or you can get back up
You gotta get back up

There are times in life when you gotta crawl,
Lose your grip, trip an' fall
When you can't lean on no-one else:
That's when you find yourself
I've been around an' I've noticed that,
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hills'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains,(The good Lord gave us mountains)
So we could learn how to climb
Yeah, oh~

dear dropped by after camp at eleven to grab the chingay tix for tml..just in time as we bussed back to KR..quite glad things turned out the way they did..we had a teensy quarrel that day and i'm soo happy its smoothed out fabulously in that few mins he came by.. just in time for the big day tml for me. today was damn heng! sped down the slope at robinsons..so glad no one crashed or anything. hope tml i'd be able to stop in time too!! fell once at the last section, while trying to give out some gifts to those on e floor..i think i scared a few kids man. haha..

CNY 猪 4!! （初四）

So..i had to come back to hall for chingay today..sometimes it is such a drag..anyhoo, i had a blast for CNY! here's a preview..

CHUXI: There was the usual trip down to the temple at waterloo street to stick the first incense of the year and to pray for a good year..Sometimes tradition fuddles the mind. We were squashed in a humongous queue in front of the urn, with striped tape all around and people with loudspeakers to keep check. It was super smoky and full of people.. and still rmr ge saying why can't we have smokeless incense like the Japanese and that with the amount of smoke garnered that night, we could have killed the Earth twice..or something. also, he was saying that sadly, this tradition will only end after 50 years..I'm okay with it though..really. I love tradition! It has that authenticky feel and will be the source of many of my nostalgic memories in future..

But i got burnt that night though..while trying to stick my joss stick into the urn..Singaporeans can be so uncourteous. Everyone was just fighting to hit the urn first and get to the temple..i didnt' even manage to stick my joss stick in properly! Saw the whole episode later on tv--the reporter stood right next to the urn and was shouting to the camera..stupid act in my opinion. It was being reported at midnight somemore..when everyone is almost about desperate to be the first to stick the FIRST joss stick into the urn when the clock strikes. As if there aren't already enough people fighting to reach the urn..he just has to block it!! It was kinda scary though. when it hit midnight..like helpers were poised in white gloves to haul the joss sticks out just after they touch the urn.. ew yes, Tradition does fuddle the mind.

THe night before CNY, me n sis stayed up the night so that daD n Mom can live long long!! not fogetting ahMa n Ah Kong too! haaha..i slept at four and her, five. lol sis was saying they can live forever liao..haha okay we were actually pia-ing hana kimi on youtube so maybe not counted eh. hehs.

Cousins!!
CHU ONE: We visited the usual places again..oh there was picture taking of the entire fam..kinda one of those things big families like mine do..we set off at 1pm this year..super late compared to the previous years of 8am..maybe its cos we missed the toapayoh uncle's house cos he passed away last yr :( At night Auntie Constance and the Sinma staff came over..won $27 bucks at banluck! haha so happy..

CHU TWO: It was Momma's side this time, and the food at ah kim's house was fabulous as usual..ate alot!! so indulgent. but i lost all day two's winnings here!! :( At night we went over to Lance's house..and Yong Sheng entertained us with beer games..learnt a few new tricks!

CHU THREE: Was firmly set on studying..but ended up kboxing with the cousins..was fun though! but found out that sis actually sings better than me..boo. haha well i juz have to hone my hidden potential! :P At five, 04s41 came over!! i heart 04s41 to bits! It was super successful..17 peeps turned up, including marcus and lance, and so did sis's class! We celebrated Daryl's Dicky's, Ber's and SheE's bdays together, and it was really nice to catch up with everyone! I love the comfortable friendship that exists among the 41 peeps..everyone still had fun even though everyone hasn't seen everyone for sucha long time..haha. well here's some pics~~

On bro's balcony~~

In my room!(our mini gambling den)

Cool Slideshows

pink toes, pink blisters, pinky n e brain.

I just painted my nails electric pink! aw man. can't believe it ain't what i thought it'd be..now i look like a freaking philipino maid!

Went shopping w the two fav male buds..and didn't step into a fitting room at all! AT ALL!! while they tried at least like 3 stuff each in diff stores, and got like two tops each or smth..Must have been my killer shoes man. look at them! innocently hiding my throbbing toes and bloodied blisters..and my neighb jiayi said that its normal! I just have to "wait til my feet grow hard skin" then it'll not be painful anymore..wahahha..so its true when they say u have to 'grow into' ur shoes/clothes!?

I kinda hobbled all the way home..couldn't take it halfway and told ma to get auntie christine to bring slippers over to the CC..ma brought e car over! haha and so i got a ride from the CC home..which is like, 20metres apart only..haha! shoulda worn my slippers man..rather comfort than image anytime..

btw, It's CNY!!! whee!! love the warmth of home and the family and friends gatherings! speaking of gatherings, sis and i met chen peiyi, Hannah, kim and Samantha koh yesterday on the way back to NUS..the four gals are our Pri sch friends..was a real pleasant surprise! i mean, 6CA has all but vanished into thin air..we've not really contacted anybody since like, sec2? the gals said they only recently met up the past 2 yrs..and it was really heartwarming to catch up in that small space of time..when we were rushing back to sch and them, rushing to chinatown in e middle of night to chill..how nice~ it just happened that they had planned to meet that day, and met us when we were gg up the NEL escalator, them gg down..

Hope we'd get a real gathering sometime in the 3mth holidays!! It was really good to know that in the span of 8 years, we've all grown and thru time, maybe those childish primary sch politics might have disappeared and that all of us could actually come together and then keep the friendship til we become 80years old, and form one of those taitai clubs u always see in crystal jade. Thats a really cool thought. To think the six of us weren't that close at all even in 6CA! it was juz a certain special Cannossian bond i guess.

okiedokie..shall stop here now. gotta wake up early to grab my PIANO bks in NUS which i stupidly left cos i totally forgot today's fri and that tml there's piano..the CNY mood's got to my head man. now i gotta drop by sch then go to Uncle Pritt's house which is so absurd cos i would lose my cuddly time w pigsy and blankie when i only have it once a week!! grr. ooh and mao called from HK just now!! that was so sweet..he might get me a Levi's or the converse shoes which i was eyeing!! that is, if he knows which one it is..anyhow it was still real sweet to call. HK's levi's on 50% sale! wish i was there..lol but wouldn't miss CNY w my boo for anything in e world~~~

Vday was fantastique! I guess cupid really heard my cry! *beams* we really didn't have any plans but it turned out really loving and satisfying.. Basically just basking in each other's company..yesyes, maybe this is what three years does to us.. we find common interests--eating, and favorite pasttimes--popcorn n movies..

haha ok i'll admit we still have major differences in interests and pasttimes(i.e. his LANning and my tv addiction) but then, he still rocks my world anyhows. :D i'M juz glad we got to spend this Vday together..plus the past two days too, actually. hahaaha..**happyhappy** It must be the food that we've had that's making me so high man. Ate super alot today! spent like, 90bucks on food? Crystal Jade lunch and Ichiban Boshi dinner!! *rubs belly* mmmz. satisfied. lols, and we had a loveberry pizza fm Pizzahut on Monday too! super indulgent. that was like, at 9pm..after i got two pairs of new shoes for $32! haha..that was a lucky shot. and the sweet boy came over yesterday afternoon..i love it when he specially gives me his time..it means so much more than the 3 special words..

Right. gonna bathe and start doing something now! been neglecting school work. *shakes head* Happy Vday peeps~~

Lovin's life and Life is lOviN~

Just returned from Changi to send Xingqi off to Melb..the geogers, yeanching and kaiwen and of course Dicky, were there.. yes..we were lamenting, time really really flies!! its so cliche but how true..ZC and Daryl, me n Mingli were reminicing, how we've known each other for 3years, and that in one week, Daryl will hit the Big Two's first, and then we'll all follow after..so old!! tsktsk..

I commented that hey we are only 20, and here we are complaining..
And then we laughed at how we'd lament when we are 60.."ya, not too bad lar, not in wheelchair yet/Haven't jing guan cai yet"..it was kinda nostalgic, for me especially when a group of vIctorians in uniform passed by..I miss the uniformed, carefree-if-you-ignore-the-exams days.. the airport was just one of our study places..in which didnt'really work that effectively afterall..haha.. anyways, dicky looked kinda teary..I do hope the two of them'd stay strong enough to surpass the distance! The poor guy..heard he took 4days off to fly w her but his mom didn't allow due to the cost..thats super sweet though..and they got rings!! so cute~ oh yes, kaiwen turned up w his gf!! haha were WE surprised..she's pretty though..happy for him :D

Actually i wish i was the one flying away to a new life..it'd be a nice change. but then four years is really long..i'd miss my boy too..oh, of course and my momma and dadsie poo too..right. i hope Xq settles in nicely and enjoys the view of hotties and surfer dudes! it'd be nice if she get a little tan herself..haha i'm envious!!
wells ok i better get down to doing work..Vday's tml but there's marketing tutorial and proj discussion!! boo. such a damper~ :(

Cupid let your arrow fly~

Whoo..last weekend's been busybusybusy..
went for hall production with the block, and then the best part was after that, when Shiyun drove us out to Holland V for supper..The six floor gals, Debbie, Shiyun, Cherlyn, and me had a blast! We had a one-for-one italian meal, and then there was dimsum at Crystal Jade's..woo!! super satisfied and high! Wanted to let Dana try the different cuisines..that gal went to HK and didnt' have Dim sum!?! hahaa..we were all appalled..right. wait. break to go sing bday song for Liren..midnight liao.

Aw man, was made to pass this choco stick w Liren downstairs for his bday..Cblk style! hahaha..ok la, my first time here..onz. then again, if only it was the other guy starting w L! ahha hmm..fantasies. Just came back from Marina sq w Mao see, and was like wearing pretty when they dragged me to do it..lol~ hmm..Vday's in two days! I really have no plans in mind..and i guess he most likely doesn't too..is that what three years does to people? What'll happen in 30? *shakes head* well. i hope all turns out romantic and sweet..no, actually it'd be nice if we've reached the point where we've found a different kinda love..such that Vday won't have to be a hustle but won't be a struggle to keep the flame alive too..It's weird..think i'm in the weirdest relationship ever. three years yet we still don't know if we are in love!? haha i dunnooo i dunooo. He has the weirdest perceptions ever. and i thought i was the weird one. geez. anyway, love is in the air this season..cupid please hear my cry....and let, your arrow flyyy..straight to, my lover's heart for meee~~~
