No longer a cup of comfort for your soul...

...but a dash of pepper to spice up your life...

I'll never forget the times we had... ^^

2008-12-30T08:00:00.000-08:00

It's officially 12:01 am now so I can safely declare it to be the last day of 2008.Personally, I still cannot believe that 2008's almost over. However, regardless of whether I can believe/accept/come to terms with it, it will still be over after TOMORROW. Since 2009 is just around the corner, I'll try to reminisce the wonderful times I had in 2008 and look forward to 2009. :)

♥8 Things that have happened/I've experienced in 2008♥

♥Life as a JC Student- I'm not the kind who's the studying/mugging type so I didn't experience major changes with the way I work and play. But of course I've experienced major changes when I received my report cards and results. :P

♥ I met new people and made new friends- Friendship is a ship that will never sink, if it's strong enough and the two friends are willing to put it some effort and manoeuver it well as the captains of their very own ship. :)

♥My secret crush (:- Though this love was unrequited, but I still want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for making my heart flutter this summer. I'll never forget you. (:

♥CLEP Camp- It was amazing how I was reluctant to go at first and later on reluctant and depressed that the camp came to an end.

♥I bought a NEW laptop- Parents who are intending to get your children one upon their requests because of schoolwork/projects/stuff, please don't give two hoots about it. The computer, with your attention and surveillance is already a WONDERFUL tool. The laptop is just is a harmful piece of technology. I'm a victim (even though I deserved it). Harmful effects that your child will suffer include lack of sleep/lack of drive etc. And one thing leads to another so... :|

♥Family Outing- I recommend this if you feel down in the dumps. [Actually, it's great entertainment to watch too even if you're not "in the dumps"] I always end up feeling cheerful after having a great laugh when I'm blue. MC Yoo Jaesuk, Hyori Unnie, Cheonhee Oppa, Daesung Oppa, Jongshin Ajusshi, Sooro Ajusshi, Yejin Unnie, Jong Kook Oppa and all the family guests, A BIG THANK YOU! (:

♥SHINHWA Oppas leaving for the moment- I'll be waiting for you all, Oppas, like all the other SHINHWA fans will be. I'll be waiting for the SIX of you to come together and shout out in unison and pride once again: "우리는신화입니다!"

♥The stress of growing up- Peter Pan will never happen in real life. I've learnt to be less gullible and naive. I must grow up. Reality is harsh but I'm sure that as I learnt to be more positive (slowly but surely) I'll be able to not only to survive BUT glow out there! (:

And now... Not forgetting the ritual that I must perform EVERY YEAR...

♥9 WISHES that I have for 2009♥

♥World Peace!

♥Pass with flying colours for A-levels!

♥Be in the pink of health!

♥All my FAMILY MEMBERS & Friends to stay healthy and safe!

♥Forge stronger relationships with people and make new friends!

♥Be MORE POSITIVE! (:

♥To be able to focus, learn and absorb better! (:

♥Grow slimmer and (hopefully) taller!

♥Be able to be exposed to MORE Korean Music!

Alright then, Happy New Year to ALL in advance!

2009 will be a better year for ALL! :)

To My Secret Crush...

2008-12-23T01:29:00.000-08:00

就让我对你的爱恋像昨日

那朵芬芳的玫瑰花

在今日凋谢死去.

我对你, 没有恨, 不能恨

因为我们连曾经拥有都没有

只有心碎,心碎只是因为

我们在错的时候相遇,

而你永远不会知道

我对你的这份

难以忘怀的

情意.

祝福你.

这是我唯一能做的.

一段在这夏天

我爱上你的回忆

这是我唯一能得到的.

-Written by Jasmine on 23rd December 2008-

You are smiling now with someone else while

I'm just hiding in a corner...weeping for this love...

...This love that doesn't go both ways...

Everyone's flying everywhere...South Korea...Taiwan...Scotland...I'm still stuck in Singapore with my pile of homework. What a bummer. The consolation- "Family Outing" and "Sex and The City" videos. The consolation will always without fail make me lose any concentration/effort that I have to start tackling any work. Double bummer. But it also makes me laugh non-stop and it puts me in a good mood. :)

Just some random pictures up there....My cousin the sheep head towel that I have finally learnt to make...My cousin and I... Two sunset scenery photos taken at the beach...An inspirational poster I made myself... Okay...Enough...I've got to get some serious work done. Thanks for tagging Miki! :)

Lyon says I must update. She says people will only tag when I update. I shall take her advice and update. Just a short update of what happened after my last post. :)

1. I fired the BOSS! :) Haha. I'm no longer working so I have time to do whatever I want now, which (unfortunately) includes a whole pile of HOLIDAY HOMEWORK that has a layer of dust on it already. Just mentioning HOMEWORK is enough to put me to sleep for the rest of the day. I wonder how on earth am I going to finish it... *SIGN~*

*BRAINWASHES myself that I'll do it for MY FUTURE and my INFINITE salary*

2. Camp V-Nest is over. Kids are really cute and cuddly...until they get really rowdy and mischievous and misbehave NO MATTER what you tell them too. Sometimes, 软硬兼施 also has no effect. ~~Monsters~~...I mean Kids will still be Kids. :)

3. My cousin finally went home. She was a sweet little angel until today when I realise what a brat she was. My brother didn't even sympathise with me. He said I deserved it for giving in to her too easily for everything she asked for. Okay, actually I think it's "retribution" because I was actually feeling mischievous and I told her to stick her butt into my Bro's face. Haha. :P I guess he felt super pissed off and that's why he said that to me. 吾明白の! :)

Time to play chess with Mr Zhou. I've got so much to do tomorrow.

Sweet Dreams :)

I' m currently working in the office. I'm going to doze off any moment. Yet I have a seminar to attend later. I think I'll probably end up embarassing myself...

But the sleeping time that I sacrificed to watch "Another Cinderella Story" was really worth it. I'm in love with Drew Seeley now. :) He's really this charismatic/charming/attractive guy any girl would want to meet and date. :) Anyway, back to the movie. I don't know how the critics feel but I think the movie deserves a 5 Star. I think I should introduce the movie to Lyon but I'm afraid she'll find it too intellectual. :) Haha. :) Lyon, we can watch it together like we did for "Picture This". I've got a feeling that you'll like this. It's about dancing. :)

Okay, that's all for now. I got to go lest they find out I'm slacking.

PS: Actually, I don't mind if they fire me or something. It's really hard work and terribly tiring. My pay's miserable compared to others. But Stella said it will reflect bad on us. So much for reputation issues. Sign~

I'm updating this because my one and only loyal fan Miss Lyon Koh Linlu has requested for it. I should consider charging her for this. Haha. :) I shall lighten the atmosphere a bit by talking about some of the stuff that have happened for the past 2 weeks. :)

OP & PW is officially over. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in this.
I went for the CGS exhibition at SUNTEC and I was both a booth's nanny and a children's nanny. Booth's nanny should be self-explanatory; I took care and manned a booth; Children's nanny...There were primary school kids there and we interacted with them. They are a cool bunch, I must say, even though they kicked me, threw sweets at me and one even poked me with a stick. Their tall tall tall tales/cock-and-bull stories also made me realised that I have aged and I'm old. We have GENRATION GAP! Oh no! *Gasps*
Friday was the most hectic day. I went to school to hand in GPF, then after which I went down to Kovan with Stella for a job interview and then came all the way back to Bedok and visited Sundac with Lyon. We gave Christina the cups that we bought for her and her husband Marc. I'm telling you that the two of them are really lots of fun and I laughed till my jaws ached when Christina kept teasing Lyon. Heehee. :) Christina's love story is really very sweet. I mean, instead of calling someone and telling him/her that you miss her, you should try her method. 3 Miss Calls each time during Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner to let the other party know that you miss him/her. It's a really great way that I think all should try during this period, especially when Singapore is experiencing a 6.7% inflation rate. LOL. :)
Saturday was supposed to be UTP Outing but I ended up visiting my hairdresser for a haircut and a re-bonding session. I swear that the next time when I organise an outing, I'll make sure it works no matter what. Even if the guys are really not interested because they are busy (I won't blame you guys for this) or because Jasmine invited you and because it's an unattractive option because Jasmine is the one that dialled your number "DESPERATELY", I'll still make sure we have it. The more the merrier concept still can be applied with the trio SUPER-FEMALE "gang" that namely comprises of Dora, Jasmine & Lyon. :)
Today was the best day in my life because I did something good. I helped to packed the School's Library Books. Yes, we're finally FINALLY moving back! I can't wait! :) However, the best part only ends there. Considering the fact that I was drenched in the rain, then I sat on a seat that was wet, then I missed the bus, then my umbrella gave in to the rain, then (aren't you surprised that there's so many 'then's?) I nearly got hit by an egg that was thrown down by someone when we were on our way home...Okay, actually we managed to make up lots of eggs jokes because of the "egg incident" and we had lots of fun teasing Lyon... So anyway...

I'm starting work tomorrow. I'll have an early night. Sweet dreams... :)

I've decided to "public" my blog again. I've decided that I'm resposible and accountable for what I write. I'm not afraid of people reading it. Of course, some things that are considered "private" won't be talked about much then. :)

This year's Mooncake Festival Celebration wasn't exactly the best and definitely has lots of room for improvement BUT nevertheless, I had fun. Subsequently, I was also able to bring joy to others by taking care of the elderly from Ghim Moh Estate who came to celebrate the occasion with us. The aunties really made me realise how lucky I am to be living in the 2000s now when they talked about the times when they were young and they couldn't even afford to buy a lantern then... :)

The person-in-charge actually asked me if I'd missed the current campus and suprisingly I've come to realise that I will even though we have always grumbled about travelling all the way from the East to the West and the other inconveniences that we've experienced before. I guess it's just called 失去了才懂得拥有. It allows me treasure people/relationships/things around me better. :)

I shall comfort myself that 曾经拥有过就已经是幸福了... :)

I'll never forget this part of my memories. :)

Jiayous EVERYONE! :)

I haven't been productive this entire week. I'm feel apologetic and yet I try to comfort myself with the fact that I'm feeling unwell.

It's so bad that I even got myself whizzed to the A&E Department of CGH on Thursday night. Apparently, I requested my parents to bring me there because I made a checklist of symptoms prior to heartattack and out of the 6, I had 4.

I went through a battery of tests- ECG/X-Ray/consultation. The conclusion- My ECG and X-Ray showed that I'm okay. The Doc said perhaps it's because I strained my chest muscles when I fell down the other day. Okay, I accept that. But now, I'm getting this uncomfortable feeling at my stomach area and it's rather upsetting to even think of it. I think it's gastritis because I haven't been having regular meals these days. Sometimes, I can eat only one meal for the whole entire day. I am guilty and I have to admit that my lifestyle isn't exactly the healthiest one and it's making my "already-lousy" immune system worse. I sincerely apologise to my body. Please get well soon.

Please.

Worrying doesn't help. Admittedly, it does serve some use in trying to push yourself to do or believe in something. But it's definitely harmful in the long run. I'm a living example. I worry all the time and in the end, I don't benefit much and I always end up lagging behind the others.

*STOP WORRYING*

I have come to realise that if I don't worry so much, things will be better. Sometimes, it's just the matter of the mindset. I worry about my chest pains and sharp sensations that I occasionally get and it doesn't do me any good. I went to the Doctor and he said my heartbeat was normal... Perhaps, if I learn to relax, things will be better.

After all, there's a Chinese saying that goes : 船到桥头自然直. :)

Term Three has come to a close and as I reflect, I realised I haven't been doing as well as I wanted myself to at the start of the term. I know I have to study hard but sometimes my mind just cannot resist and will succumb to the temptations around me. It's supposed to be natural for all humans [I read this in a book titled "The Happiness Hypothesis"; the theory of the elephant and the rider] so I guess I don't have to worry about myself being weird/abnormal/uncontrollable. :) Well, sometimes I just compromise and tell myself that at least I still have a conscience that tells me that I must work hard; at least I'm still able to differentiate right from wrong. :) Life's not so bad after all... :)

Just something random lest the readers find my post dry and draggy... I actually dreamt that I kissed Hyesung Oppa on the lips. But I guess that will never happen because the chances of me meeting Hyesung Oppa is very slim and thus having skinship with him is even the more impossible. This is when the theory of 日有所思，夜有所梦 come in. I was listening to Track 4 (A Good Day To Love) in his newest Jib(album)- Live and Let Live. It's a very sweet song and it features Miss Korea Honey Lee. :) [It's the song playing in the background now. :)]

Jiayous everyone! :)

Reflection

2008-08-22T07:37:00.001-07:00

I suddenly feel that Disney songs are really inspiring.

Listening to them while I'm blogging really

makes my thoughts flow better. They make me feel

much happier and fortunate after every tired day (especially today). :)

Thank you everyone who has smiled sweetly, say hello sincerely, waved wildly to me today. You've made my day so much better. Thank you for my family and my dearest friends who are always there for me. You guys have always been able to pull me out from the sorrowful pits. Thank you Lyon for having dinner with me again. It was once again a wonderful experience. I also liked the ice-cream session :) I realised Lyon is a fast ice-cream eater. :)

I dedicated this post to my brother Jeremy and

hope he recovers soon from his injury.

(He has 9 stitches on his face. Why do I have the feeling

that my brother and I are a bunch of accident-prone kids?)

Reflection by Christina Aguilera

Reflection

Look at me, you may think you see
who I really am,
But you'll never know me.

Everyday, it's as if I play a part.

Now I see, if I wear a mask,
I can fool the world, but I cannot fool my heart.

Chorus:

Who is that girl I see?
Staring straight, back at me.
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

I am now,
In a world where I have to hide

in my heart, and what I believe in.

But somehow,
I will show the world what's inside my heart,
And be loved for who I am.

Who is that girl I see?

Staring straight, back at me.
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time.
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why

Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel?

Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time.

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

When will my reflection show who I am inside?

It really reflects how I feel now. No pun intended though :)

You're the real thing!
Do you come with a certificate of authenticity? You definitely aren't a fake. You seem honest, natural, and very comfortable with yourself. Even when other people are unwilling to face the facts, you're a big fan of the truth. Of course, being 100% real all the time isn't the best way to make the people around you happy. (Nobody really wants to hear that they look tired... or that a new haircut is unflattering.) A fake smile can be useful once in a while,as long as you don't wear it every day.

Your insecurities are holding you back. (SUPER TRUE! :))
It's kind of crazy, actually. You probably feel like everything and everyone is holding you back from changing, like the whole world is against you, but the person hurting you the most is... YOU. If it seems like you're always telling yourself, "I'm not good enough/pretty enough/smart enough to do that thing," it's time to ignore your inner critic. If someone else said that stuff to you, you'd probably get angry and want to tell that person off, so don't listen to it from yourself either! Trust this quiz -- you're a thousand times more awesome than you give yourself credit for.

Accident Prone

2008-08-15T07:43:00.000-07:00

I think I'm accident-prone. Just 3 weeks ago, I fell during Mass PE. Then 3 days ago, I realised I got this big blue-black and today,I hurt my back by tripping over and falling. It hurts terribly now and I think I'll have to go and see the physician tomorrow. :(

HOPE I'll get well soon.

Anyway, today was a rather fun day with Maths Consultation with Mr Ong again. I sincerely thank Mr Ong for teaching me Maths and tolerating all the crap that I was blabbering throughout the whole consultation. This reminds me that I'll have to go and book a consultation session with Miss Tan. Now I'm memory-loss-prone.

Thanks to Dorothy, Mr Shawn Lim drove us to Tanah Merah MRT Station after CSC and it was a great ride home because we had loads of fun crapping on his car. Thank you Mr and Mrs Shawn Lim [apparently Mrs Lim is very nice :)] and the other Mr Lim [the one who calls Dorothy Dodo] for tolerating and putting up with all our nonsense. :)

I realised that I enjoy having dinner sessions with my close friends. It's wonderful because you get to eat, talk and bond more with each other. Thank you Lyon for having dinner with me. The pleasure's all mine. :) [Even though you still owe me 50 cents. Haha :)]

I shall rest early and visit the sensei (physician) tomorrow.

I got a hunch that he's going to ask me to lie in bed and take a good rest. :)

2008-08-10T06:58:00.000-07:00

I must apologise to everyone who has pin some hope on me in some way or another. I must apologise to myself and all who have encourage me in one way or another. I'm very sorry for I haven't been too productive on these two days. I do realise the fact that I should be working harder BUT I just cannot seem to control myself from doing other things like watching videos on TUDOU. I seriously need some self-discipline. :( However, there are actually pros to watching videos. I know this sounds like a pretty silly excuse to use but I beg to differ. Watching 神样,もう少しだけ has made me realise that I am more fortunate than others by the very fact that I am given the gift to breathe, read, write and live a life that I can anticipate.

I'm so ironic now. DUH. I'll try to make up by finishing my GP Journal. :)

MEANINGFUL DAY... :)

*OPENING OF BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008*

I've spent myself entirely today. This morning's cross-country cum National Day celebration was a great sucess. The school even manage to invite mediacorp artiste Benjamin Heng over to sing some community songs with us. :) I really had loads of fun and I want to thank everyone who has played a part in making my day today. :)

The class lunch was also a wonderful experience with a black (witch) cat joining us for lunch. Lots of jokes were cracked and Mingquan even personified the cat and told it to leave him alone as he was eating... :) I want to SPECIALLY THANK MR ONG for buying us delicious Nasi Lemak for lunch. :)All and all, thank you all.

The trip down to Sun-dac with Lyon was really enjoyable and it also allowed me to look at things from another perspective. Someone once said that those who are less able than us do not need our sympathy and I agree. What they need is our admiration and respect because they do not feel depressed and upset but rather they are living their lives more positively than any of us. I also met some wonderful people like Christina and Jon. They're really very sweet people. [OKAY, any cotton candy and/or caramel jokes? :)]

Abraham Lincoln once said: "In the end, it is not the years in your life that count. It is the life in your years." Bob Dole also said:" When it is all over, it is not who you were. It is whether you made a difference." I think I've done that today and I'll give myself a pat on the head for that.

*PATS HEAD*

Good Luck to all for the following challenges in your way! :)

♥3rd August 2008♥

When there's a will, there's a way.

I managed to do my revision for SPA in a short 1 hour. I feel very accomplished now. :) Hope that this kind of nice feeling will continue sticking with me... :) Actually, I feel quite relaxed for the week. This week's schedule is seriously less taxing on my ailing body. I've a really stuffed up nose now which I suspect cold has attacked me once again. SIGN~ Hope to recover asap so that I can enjoy my LONG weekend. :) For this week, we'll be going to Pulau Tekong's BMTC on Wednesday and I'll be watching Red Cliff on Thursday after school. [Well, there's an assignment after that but well...you gain something...you lose something... :)] Then there's the Cross Country [FUN RUN] on Friday as part of the National Day Celebration at Changi Beach. I pray that by then my injury will heal. My hand's getting better but apparently my knee isn't. *POUTS* I just pray that there's no scar. LOL. :)

To all the TRUE FRIENDS who are reading my post now...

有一天，天爱上了海，可是空气阻隔了他们，他们无法相爱。

天哭了，泪水落在海里，即使不能相爱，天也要把灵魂寄托给海。

从此海比天蓝。当所有人都在关心你飞得高不高时，

只有少数人在关心你飞得累不累。这就是朋友（亲人）。

在此借用你的手帮我摸摸你的头，小声对自己说：

一定要照顾好自己，善待自己，

与人为善。记得健康快乐比任何东西都重要。

只有经过磨难，才知道友谊（生命）的可贵。

生命中有你，真好！

LEFT OUT...

Left out.

Perhaps I'm not popular in school, in life, in my social circle of friends... Maybe life will get better...Who knows I might wake up having everyone appreciating me and liking me as who I am...I wonder why I am not INVOLVED at times... Is it because of my attitude...or someone Evillee has been spreading rumours around... I know that someone once said that we should never blame others but ourself when something goes wrong...but I want to change//attempts to change BUT no one's noticing it...It takes two hands to clap...For example, I change my attitude and try to do Maths Tutorial and Mr Ong affirms me by saying that he sees that I'm trying... This is a difficult period of my life and I want to TIDE THROUGH soon...

Growing up is TIRED. Go figure.

It's time to MUG ALONE NOW.... :/

Oh, I almost forgot... HAPPY BIRTHDAY HYUNG JOON OPPA! :)

WARMTH...

I would like to share a personal quote that I have thought of. For all science-related topics and/or issues, at a particular moment you will be able to measure the particular variable no matter if it is the theorectical or the realistic situation. However, there is no way that you can measure love at any particular moment. It's cynical how they say that all's FAIR in LOVE & war. :)

There is warmth in this world. But I had to suffer before I could feel it. (HAHA :))

I fell during mass PE. *Ouch* I've got this stinging feeling now. :(

Anyway, thanks to all who have showered me with concern just now. :) Thank you Lyon, Libing, Simin, Xiaoyou. :) Thank you Miss Lee for applying antiseptic for me. :) A SPECIAL BIG THANK YOU to Virginia and her father for sending me home. Her father even made a special U-TURN to send me to my doorstep. (Okay not the real doorstep but then again, you guys know what I'm talking about, right? :))

Thank you. :) 人间是有真情のえええ... :)

So...what's a TRUE FRIEND?

Sometimes, life is just unfair...

Sometimes,the ones whom you truly care for or even love just forget about you and you become like a shadow...or perhaps even worse off; you're non-existence to them. It really hurts to be treated like that. Perhaps our footsteps and pace of life is so fast now that we're so busy and we forget the times when we crowd together to laugh, joke and have lots of fun.

What is the exact definition of a true friend? How many friends will really be there for you when you need them? How many friends will be there to share weal and woe with you? How many friends will think of you every now and then? How many friends will ring you up on a rainy day and tell you to wrap yourself up lest you catch a cold? How many friends will be there till the day you breathe your last? I wonder... The world seems to be crumbling apart for everyone.

Earth is falling apart. Gobal warming, pollution, natural disasters are permanent daily feeds that you can get in newspapers. War, unrest and terrorism. Black Eye Peas were so right to sing :"Where is the love?" What are we humans doing? What a cynical question to ask when I'm also a mere selfish homo sapien myself. Where on EARTH is the REAL peace, love and truth?

some FOOD for THOUGHT...

On a lighter note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Minwoo Oppa and Eldwin :)

It's time to MOVE ON... :)

Life may not be a bed of roses but we must learn to live with it. The brick walls and obstacles that seem to be in our way are just there to keep those who are not firm and strong in their belief of what they want. It is only when we are able to adapt and live contendedly with what we have will we able to live life to the fullest.

Dream like you live forever, live like you die tomorrow.

ALL THE BEST Everyone. :)
