the letter to self that Ms Grace had us write on my first week of semester was returned to me today.
i believe this is the first time that so many many things have changed within a time frame of about three months in my life thus far. 3 months before and now are just two totally different era.
actually only one thing changed; my relationship status. but it has made all (most) the difference in the world.
according to my letter:
- i have not only not stressed out a couple of times, i've actually had considerably less stress compared to previous semesters
- i have not gotten into horrible arguments with the now ex-bf
- and i've only clubbed once (now, this is a disappointment. :/)
- i have not cried or be angry about anything except the calls
- i have grown with God
- i have learned from mistakes (baby steps)
- i have build relationships/friendships
- definitely lulled a few babies to sleep
- and more than generally enjoyed my time than suffer through them
- might have gotten better at loving people? (work in progress)
all in all, i have exceeded the expectations on my letter in a real good way. (:
this is where I'm supposed to be.

past 6 days.
Thursday & Friday: Peer Counseling Conference
it was enriching, enlightening, a learning experience. (:
workshops attended were Managing Your Love Life and Leading and Mentoring with EQ. definitely learned quite a bit in both workshops. managing Your Love Life basically says love yourself before loving others. Leading and mentoring with EQ says be aware of your emotions as they guide your focus and language and ultimately how you react.

| what does love mean? |
Saturday: filming for Jill's tourism video and hanging out with Kim Hock and Ge Wei.
involved getting weird stares for randomly posing and acting in random places, sweaty hands, Korean food and Horlicks McFlurry.
Sunday: church and affordable Japanese food for lunch.
Monday & Tuesday: class per usual, movie and experiment.
watched Dark Shadows with Victor on Monday. movie was odd, some scenes were crude (?). i had different expectations but it was funny. heh.
experiments have started. this is the tough part; having to ask/coerce/beg people to join our experiments. bleh.
pretty much this for now. have a great week and God bless!
and i will end with this:

i just got a really random, out of the blue sms from Thanush who's away somewhere doing Matriks asking me to check for her the last element in the 1st group in the periodic table. we haven't been in contact for like a month or so and this is what she sends me. LOL. this proves how close we are and friendship stuff like that.
anyway, today was an amusingly nerve wrecking day. had the Health Seminar thing which was the nerve wrecking part. teacher won't let the students out of the class, they were noisy and not paying attention to the speaker. blah. the talk was on how to manage stress which was what i really needed, what with all the stress i was feeling from handling the seminar. =.=
the amusing part happened at the later part of the day when Jenny and I had one of our rare girl talk time. i never knew she thought the ex-St John president was cute. and we both agreed that Kenneth's hair looked especially nice today. lollol.
he's starting to stalk me! how ah? why does this always happen to me? these are the times i hate being me. gahh.
moving on, Jenny told me to go watch Yunho sexy dance with some chick in their concert. so i'mma go check that out now.
goodnight! [:

this was during merentas desa.
this was Sports Day. my last one.
and this is the BEST calendar ever. xD
this is/was my "love letter". sigh. she tricked me.
I don't like Hyunjoong looking like Hero. he scares me. they scare me. ><
anyway, gotta get back to episode 16.
ciao. (:
truth be told, i miss you.
truth be told, i'm lying.

currently listening to Se7en's I know to drown out TVXQ's Mirotic in my head. which is not working.
Peace Forum was okay which is my nice way of saying it was boring. it would have been informative and all that but my dear sister tempted me to go eat in Secret Recipe. went back to the forum when the Q&A session started. so all i only got to hear one out of the three speakers speak and ppl asking supposedly 'useless' questions. that's what Dinesh said. lol.
its kinda depressing that Sports Day is done and over with. wished it was a better one. although this was the only Sports Day where i got so much attention from. lol. so maybeeee, it was a good one. ((:
yesterday we had the Kursus Sehari Pengurusan Kelab dan Persatuan which was long and sleep-inducing. really really thankful to Eric and Edwin for coming and putting up with the long talks and stuff. Dinesh found a new "friend" there. that boy was following him around the whole time. it was kinda creepy. Kenneth made him come over to where i was eating to start a convo or something. poor boy, all he wanted was to be near Dinesh, not me. Edwin told me he was the same boy that kinda followed you around, Sum. xDD
gtg adi. gotta clean up my room.
NIGHT!
i asked "where'd you been?"
he said "ask anything."
Labels: rotary, school
erm. Sports Day?
started the day busy. we only had the morning to decorate our tent. it was horrendously last minute, just like everything else. we had to get some extra stuff to decorate the tent, so me and Fendi went out on his bike (note: this was like the fifth time in my 17 years of life riding on a bike) and i was freaking out like crazy inside but acting all calm like i ride on bikes everyday outside. gosh, i was holding on to the sides of the bike so tightly. every stop, every sudden acceleration cus we were late, every turn, my heart stopped and started nearing an all out heart attack. not only that, the whole time i had to hold on to these sticks that are as tall as my shoulders which btw we didn't use in the end. =.=
as if sitting on the bike was not bad enough, my sari didn't really arrive on time and i was having a panic attack. finally, it did and two teachers helped me tie it and i was the last one to get in line. it was so last minute, i didn't check that i could walk properly in that thing. half the time on the field, i was tripping on my sandals and praying real hard my sari won't fall off. do you have any idea how stressed i was? i couldn't even smile straight. Thank God for Eric who was staring at me as if i was from another world that i managed to focus and smile properly once in a while.
when finally it ended, i had to rush to class to hand out the free drinks to the BB boys which ended up with Sum, Hong, Ivan, Ph'ng and the rest helping out. thanks a lot ya! (:
stayed till they announced the results. Tagore got third overall. BB was third in the marching competition. i was so heartbroken. )": but then prefects got first which is very rare and i was very happy for them. in conclusion, my last Sports Day of my life was a very emotional day. fear, anxiety, excitement, worried, happy, sad, frustration were felt all in the same day.
and these are some of the pics that day.
will be back to edit. got to go to some Peace forum now.

yesterday was hilarious right? today was the opposite. it was downright depressing, annoying, frustrating and every other word that are synonym with it. the raptai for Sports Day is tmr and we have 10 ppl marching. are they serious? i have a feeling tmr's gonna be bad. i could go on a really long complaining spree but i shouldn't. it'll just make me feel even worse than before, not to mention the things i wanna grumble about might get some ppl i know all defensive. LOL.
went over to a Rotarian's house to blow hearts up and burst them into pieces.
and here's what i'm obsessing about. the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango aka Boys Over Flowers. they make a girl's life so unimaginably happy.
can't wait for Sports Day to be over.
goodnight. (:
boys or flowers?

today was an unbelievably hilarious day. i have never seen someone get so much "constructive criticisms" on an essay. some of them though are just plain mean.
currently waiting for episode 13 of BOF. i can't believe Jenny doesn't think Kim Bum is cute. @.@ at least she said Hyun Joong still can be looked at. be happy, Rachel! xD stayed back today to march but noone else did. sigh. 4 more days to sports day and not a single thing has been done. its scary how things get done in ACS.
finally got my Commonwealth essay done about 2 something this morning. not entirely satisfied with it. i think i'm gonna go fix it for the sake of fixing it cus i've already handed up my essay. lol. if you wanna read, i posted it in my
lj. i have a feeling if i write 'comments are appreciated', you ppl are gonna hentam me like crazy. lol. you can comment of course but lets make it a 'constructive criticism' kinda thing kay?
i need to get back to dinner. ciao! (:

today was an icky sweet fermented alcohol day.
separating tin cans according to colour is so not fun. not when they're dirty and mouldy.
merentas desa last friday was superbly tiring, glad i only have to do it once. at least i got one mark for my house. (:
sports day next friday. school this saturday. michi leaving this sunday! sob.
nothing much to say today or even for days to come. school's normal. the people are normal.
lol. i sound utterly bored. which may or may not be true. depends on whether or not i'm going to sleep now. xD
ciao. hopefully more exciting things will come up soon.

come and sit here la.
why?
you look sad sitting behind.
*pause. blink.*
i like being sad.
Labels: school, written
he smiled, i died.
"You look like a kitten dressed in an Egyptian costume" with the word Cleopatra somewhere in the middle of it.
"Mushroom head."
"Nice hairstyle."
"Suits you."
"What did you do to your hair?!"
so can you guess what happened to me?
.
.
.
.
yup, it got chopped off as keith so nicely put it. not even a month since i last cut my hair and now its all gone. lol. i like it the way it is now although i think i'm gonna have to put curlers in my hair before i go to sleep. its curling out of shape like nobody's business.
oh btw, the beanie i'm holding is a Christmas gift from Adrian. asked my mum to make a furry ball to sew it to the top of the beanie. doesn't it look cute now?
okay, what else? i finally got to watch Inkheart. since Michi told me it wasn't as good as i/we expected it to be, i toned down my expectations for the movie and just enjoyed it. Brendan Fraser's still cute to me though. lol.
i'm annoyed at MPH. where are all the books? even more annoyed at Popular. they are selling Jeffery Deaver's The Bone Collector and his latest book The-dunno-what-Window for RM32.90. but i already have The Bone Collector and they're selling The-dunno-what-Window for RM32.90 too. how unfair is that?! went to MPH to look for it but i couldn't find it there. and i want Eoin Colfer's The Time Paradox which obviously wasn't in MPH too. Mum wouldn't let me go back to Popular to look for it. ishhh. i want books!
today, we had the Voyager's CNY celebration. did some kind of weird lou sang with cucumbers, carrots, lots of ginger but very little pomelo, cornflakes and no sesame seeds. it was an odd lou ang but it tasted nice. that's what matters right?
rentas desa is this Friday, i think. and there's pong tmr. and BB meeting this Sat. and hols next Monday. i don't mind the holidays but they are really not helping me get used to school. today, i kept thinking there is no school tmr. and i keep forgetting Wed is wearing club/society/unit beruniform t-shirt day.
i have this sick feeling that i'm falling sick. good thing or bad thing?
i want Astro.
i recently found out that lots of people has really nice smiles. (: but not like in people around me, no offense but in actors and those famous ppl you see on tv. but the cutest smile so far is GD's or is it Daesung's or is it Kim Bum's? lol, i can't decide.
anyway, i need sleep. i only had 2 hours of sleep last night. don't ask me why.
have a nice Thursday!

random convo somewhere in the middle of the week when Jian Wei was absent from school.
U: If you can have Rain and GD as your pet, which one do you want?
J: I'll have Rain as my pet and GD as my husband. *squeals over-excitedly*
U: Noo, I'll have Rain as my husband.
J: Oh oh, then I can cheat on my husband with yours and you can cheat on yours with mine!
U: Yeaaa! *claps hands*
J: What are both of you talking about?
U & J: *looks at him and starts laughing all over again*
* * *
When I saw you, I was scared to talk to you.
When I talked to you, I was scared to kiss you.
When I kissed you, I was scared to love you.
Now that I love you, I am scared of losing you.
note: this is a gramatically correct version of a sms i got. scary. i strongly believe that this msg was not meant for me. its such a sweet msg though; if it was gramatically correct.

yesterday. woke up really early like at 6.30am. it was the first time i woke up when the sky was still dark since hols started. lol. went to the Rotary Conference thing. sat outside while everyone else was in the hall cus we weren't dressed formally nor were we invited. ended around 11am. went for lunch with nearly the whole prefect gang that attended the conference. now these ppl are really crazy, talking about weird things. lol. after that, Beh, me, Jenny and Jill went to MYC to prepare for the rally.
although it was drizzing a bit, many ppl came. so Youth Rally was quite a success. my games stall went quite well, i would say. at first, it was kinda quiet. then ppl came and started playing. Adrian and Sam say my stall is the easiest one among the rest. lol. met with a lot of friends that i haven't seen in a while that day too. friends from YACF and also from Elce. it was a really nice day. (: praise and worship was awesome-ish. haven't jumped for so long adi. about a dozen ppl came to accept Christ, Andrew being one of them which makes me really happy. ((:
pics as usual will come later, if there are any.
its nearly five and i haven't eaten a single thing. have to go pack my bag and stuff now. sigh.
let the misery begin.

lets start of with new year's day. it was depressing. we decided to walk over to Rum Jungle at about 11.30pm to catch the fireworks but it was horrible. the fireworks were horrible. most probably because it was raining before that? blah. then, we had our first meal of the year. roti telur! lol. very malaysian, ain't it?
in the afternoon, my mum was craving for nan, so we went to Andersonian Club to find out that they only serve nan at night. we ended up having rice, the indian style. bumped into Edwin there. lol. got back my sleeping bag.
went to JJ. shopped! haha. we're doing our CNY shopping adi. got shoes and pants and shirt. xD watched Bedtime Stories. quite a good movie, hilarious especially at the part where the bee stung his toungue and he had to speak alien language. bumped into Shaun outside the cinema. hmm. that's actually kinda irrelevant. oooh, i bumped into Mrs. Ham though. she was my phonetics teacher when i was 7 in MMSB. lol. that was like.. centuries ago.
walked a bit more. had dinner. went home. end of day 1. and this shall be our official 2009 pic.
caption: "OMO!"
oh ya. my hair is short now and so's Jill's. okay. today. was. hectic-ish. haha. tmr will be worse. i mean, today will be worse cus its Saturday today. anyway, woke up in the morning to go for the so called "emergency" Voyager meeting. hah. all we did was hang stuff on the wall and clear the table. but then we did get to business and eventhough school hasn't started yet, i already have homework. sigh.
had lunch with Dinesh, Weng Kit, Mun Teng, Krizun and Jenny before we went for the rehearsal thing in Syuen Hotel. they learned how to become flagbearers. haha. i would've joined them but i takde prefect uniform. they got 20 bucks for just doing that. ish.
stayed there til about 5-ish. i was dropping dead already. went home and slept. but since i have to wake up at 7am, i'm gonna go sleep now. again.
before i go, YOUTH RALLY. Date: 3rd Jan
Time: 4pm to idk what time. Venue: MYC
COME! there's some concert thingy at night.
and you can get coupons from me cus i have tons of them.

was busy blogging about all the MVs and stuff, i forgot to write about my day at school. lol. but nothing much happened anyway except my dearest pong president has taken to calling me 'Joan Joan' which is kinda annoying cus i don't need another person calling me that in school. pong was hilarious though cus he kept trying to smash but fail miserably. my last 15 minutes was spent playing with my pong teacher advisor. haha. i can see wen jun was gratified when i took over. well, she may be the teacher advisor but she can't even hold her bat properly. lol. but it was good practice for me, in a little way.
currently looking forward to this weekend and next weekend. i'm so gonna be wiped out this saturday from the Amazing Race. then i will be going for the car wash fundraising thing on sunday. i can imagine how dead tired i would be. x/
and next weekend, i will be going down to KL. primary purpose: to hunt for my BIG BANG stuffs. xD will be there for a week. so yea, if anyone wanna meet up, lemme know. (:
and since JoonY said that my blog is boring, i shall spam this post with my beloved Kwon Ji Yong and other just a tiny bit fraction less beloved members of BIG BANG.

If i had never skipped my Std 4 cus of PTS, i would most likely be worrying along with all my F5 friends. reading all those ppl blogging about SPM is really kinda depressing but at the same time, i'm also really glad i'm not in their shoes. i've walked that road before and so all i have to say is (as encouragement to y'all SPM-ers) that this road will reach its end and soon, you won't even be stepping into school anymore. your suffering is temporary. be patient! you can do it! xDD
its scary sometimes when i think about how my life would be if i had never skipped std 4. there would be so many wonderful ppl that i'll never know and so many happy, fun and life-changing and even horrible moments that i would have missed. somehow i just can't imagine not being where i am now. i guess that's where God comes in. this is His path for me.
see, all those posts are making me emo.
bleh. i'm going to go GD-fy myself.
and type minutes on meetings that don't exist.
one thing good about blogspot is that it saves your draft. so you don't have to retype if your comp jams or something like how i would have to in xanga last time. (: the not good part is when you upload pictures and it changes your whole post. now that's annoying. /:
