'Cause you know me inside out.

My apologies for not blogging for about a week now, I've been busy settling my CCA and class chalet details. So to repay all of my readers out there, I'm gonna do a decent post now.

Let's start from where I had left off. 

Wednesday :

It was pretty alright for me with the usual lessons going on due to the Booster sessions. The good thing about it? Lessons officially ended at 10.30am, but the HCL students had to do one last timed practice before their facing their dreaded exam paper the next day ):. Sigh, I really don't know what to say because I flunked it terribly once again. But it wasn't as bad as the Paper 1 the other day.

After that, I headed home to prepare myself for a 4 hour tuition. That sounded crazy, but it happened. Looking at the bright side, at least I managed to skip choir :D. ( What kind of President am I? ) But still, it was pretty intense for me because there're like loads of phrases and sentences to memorize so as to polish my essay with them.

Ate fishballs from Old Chang Kee, and talked to Elston via SMS on the way home. I wanted to study for the exam the next day, but I guess I was a little distracted at the sight of my computer sitting right on my study table. Oh well, but the good thing is that I've managed to read through all the model essays for inspiration and successfully memorized the vocabulary that I'm supposed to memorize :D.

Went to sleep after that, but I was a little down upon realizing that at that moment in time, it was the last few hours of me being a HCL student because I personally know that I won't be able to clinch my A1/A2 for the exam paper. Oh well.

Thursday :

Woke up earlier than expected to prepare myself mentally for the exam paper~. I found Paper 1 relatively easy, but Paper 2 was quite challenging for me, particularly the MCQs ):. The options are like so similar with one another and it's hard to decide which is the absolute answer.

But before each paper, I shared with JY about the secret tips that my tuition teacher had shared with me :). See Jue Ying, if you're reading this blog, I'm such a good friend right? :D

After that, I went to the canteen to decorate the monitor's booth for the Open House. There were like only three people, including me, doing so. Was quite disappointed with the other 4 EXCOs because that was their duty and they didn't really turn up for it :/. But still, Marcus was spending most of his time in the Art Room trying to print the photos while Jazy (? ) and I were working on trying to decorate the boards first.

We managed to get the job done right in the end, even though we crapped a lot and talked a couple of things behind people's backs. It was quite hilarious at some point because Marcus was like cleaning up our mess while we were trying to make life difficult for him.

Moving on, Elston was waiting for me to watch a movie (:. So, we went to purchase our tickets before settling ourselves down at Pastamania. I had Penne with Meatballs while Elston had Baked Rice! Anyway, he's so mean ):. He was adding loads of cheese powder onto his dish right in front of me. Still, we talked a lot of certain stuff and played coin-dozer. Yeah, we were that bored. 

Then, we went to watch In Time! <3 Bought twisties and Root beer before heading down to the cinema! Won't reveal much about the movie to prevent myself from being a spoiler, but Amanda Seyfried is really PRETTY <3.


Unfortunately, halfway through the movie, I accidentally spilled my entire cup of rootbeer ):. Wanted to clean the mess up, but didn't really do anything about it! Hugged my bag throughout the entire movie :D.


After the show, we went around nex and spent about 1 hour deciding what to buy for Randy! I almost wanted to use my last resort of buying chocolates until Elston came up with a good idea :D.


Home-d afterwards and started to prepare myself for the concert the next day~.


Friday :


It's 11/11/11 and I managed to successfully make a wish exactly at 11 : 11 am! Anyway, I woke up at about 10.30am as I slept late the night before talking to someone~. Oh yeah, I went down to buy my lunch and complete the present for Randy! Then, I checked my concert attire and slacked all the way before heading towards school for choir.


Reached there right on the dot, and half the choir was missing due to some administrative stuff. Conducted warmups and threw a mini-tantrum at Sean because he was telling me what to do and I was being rebellious to him at that point in time. :X.


Moving on, we managed to sing through the concert pieces before having one last combined practice with the other schools! Did I mention that the children from Casuarina Primary were extremely adorable in their outfits? Afterwards, we had a full dress rehearsal but Rowena needed the toilet at the beginning, so I said her lines as well. Guess what? This was what I said :


" I am Rowena Ng and this is Chan Man Chun. "


Was humiliated by the choir after that. *smacks hand on forehead*. Then, we were told to memorize the script before the concert and I kinda felt that Miss Tan was being unreasonable, but we've managed to get cue cards to aid us :D.


Skipped dinner and went to change to my concert attire~. Talked with Ryan after that. Then, Gretel and Kelvin came (:. It's been ages since I've last seen them and I missed them TTM.


Anyway, we then had to go to our respective areas to carry out our duties. But fortunately for Rowena and I, we had no duty because we were the emcees! So, we just went around the school to hang out and interacted with some of our friends!


And soon, the concert started! I guess it went pretty well for emcee parts, but I stumbled on some of the words that I'm supposed to say ):. Anyway, the songs were quite badly done as they were completely different compared to what we had practiced in the past. But on the bright side, we were better than the guest choirs!


Then, went to take photos with Adeline's clique! They're awesome people! They've always been there supporting me no matter what and that we've been really close friends since Sec 1 :D.


Moving on, went to settle some choir stuff before changing into my own attire and hanged out with my friends for dinner~. They remembered my birthday and I was quite touched :D. Went to the food court opposite school and ordered loads of food :D. I LOVE THEIR CEREAL PRAWN AND THE EGG WITH TOFU <3. Anyway, we chatted and crapped about loads of stuff! What a way to spend the day especially with my awesome friends right?


Went home with Xinyi after that! Talked about horror movies and the situation that she was about to face then. Kinda pitied her, but she managed to survive through it anyway~. It was like 11.30pm when I reached home. So, I took a bath and started counting down for my birthday!


And guess what? When it was exactly 12 midnight, the first person that sms-ed me was Elston :D. Then, my inbox was flooded with loads of long texts! I kinda teared upon reading those messages because I didn't really expect them to remember my birthday at all, let alone them wishing me.


I took about an hour to reply those messages before opening my presents! I liked all of them, and I found Joyce's one really meaningful to me thanks to the message inside the card that she've given me! (:. Afterwards, I talked to Elston in msn until it was about 2am, and headed off to my dear bed to sleep <3


Saturday :


Didnt go for open house because I wanted to have a peace of mind. Woke up at 12am or 1pm and I ate takeaways for lunch, before proceeding to watch 3 rented DVDs at home :D. Then, I went out for dinner with my family at Secret Recipe. Their lamb stew is just simply mouth watering! Enjoyed it ttm!


Oh yeah, I'll do my birthday dedications soon (:.


Can't believe that I've turned fifteen. I guess it's time for me to mature a lil' more and make the right decisions for myself! Anyway, my birthday wish for this year had been fulfilled already, and I hope that it would remain the same before my next birthday~.


Sunday :


Stayed at home the entire day and played loads of comp ..


Monday :


It was Sunday's sequel, just that I had to settle some chalet details and I was quite disappointed that day because there was quite a handful that turned down my invitation right at the last moment. Sigh, it stirred a lot of problems for the chalet.. Oh yeah, did I mention that I was quite angry at somebody because of his childish attitude? Wow, what on earth am I talking about..? Anyway, I'd managed to sleep early to keep myself refreshed for the chalet~


Tuesday : 


DAY ONE OF CHALET! :D. Woke up and started to pack my bag! Then, Dad came to fetch me there and checked in! The room was appropriately big for us as there were two levels :D. Anyway, I fetched Ikhmah's group from the Downtown east chalet afterwards as they didn't know where was the chalet and that they just finished their class chalet too..


Then, we started to play card games and spammed lots of songs! Introduced Ikhmah to the new Katy Perry's single, and then we started to catch up with one another~. Soon, Adeline's group arrived!


We managed to settle all our administrative stuff, before deciding that we should play more card games and stuff like that. Managed to learn Kah Leng's game! It was so fun, but my mind was quite exhausted at the end.


Some of them went for cycling, while WZ, Clarissa and I went to take a stroll at the park~ It's been ages since I've last talked to WZ F2F and that she has really changed since the last day that I've met her! And then, she started to talk about her OBS experience and I was pretty jealous because I  missed the times I had in June ):. After that, we talked about our personal stuff before heading to Ehub! to fetch Clare's clique as they were lost halfway.. ):


Upon reaching the chalet, the pizzas arrived :D. I was so glad that most of the 2e1 people I've invited managed to turn up for it, and we managed to solve the problem that the inconsiderate and last minute brats gave me on the day before the chalet. Anyway, Jia Wei, Jue Ying, Jia Min, Adeline and I then went to Ehub! to catch 23 : 59. It was extremely creepy for me, and I had to thank Jia Wei for sitting beside me because I couldn't stand the tunes of the children... Then, we went back to the chalet and started to mess around with Jason's computer by playing the different games that were in it. JIA WEI'S A PROFESSIONAL AT L4D2. Anyway, I tried to play one stage of it and I managed to survive through it! Pistols with unlimited ammo FTW <3.. Then, we all gathered inside the room to watch Paranormal activity!


After that, we played games like Truth or Dare! We used phone apps to determine our truths and dares and they were hilarious! It ranged from 'Shoot,Shack and Marry' to kissing some people and crapping about protection by using a plastic bag. This activity really strengthened our bonds between one another. Then, we had heart to heart talks with the people in the room. That was when I discovered something that was really saddening to hear, but oh well..


Went to sleep after that, but I was freaking out all night long! Texted someone to fulfil my promise when he was away, and only slept for two hours! ):


Wednesday:


Woke up at 8am and went to wash myself up but failed terribly as I dragged myself back onto the bed to sleep beside Jia Wei for another hour while Jue Ying, Jia Min and Benjamin was playing games on Jason's computer. Jue Ying then woke both of us up for breakfast! :D. We initially intended to have breakfast at the cafeteria but upon reaching there, we changed our mind and headed to Macs instead! Ahh. It's been a while since I last ate Hotcakes! :).


Then, we wanted to watch Sector 7 but the earliest timeslot was at 1pm.. Wanted to find alternatives to entertain ourselves before the movie, but most of them were either too pricey or not appealing to us. In the end, we decided to meet up with the rest of the 3e6 people outside Fairprice and stayed at one corner to decide the other events of the day. Then, as time passed by, we headed to the cinema and watched the movie. It was quite thrilling for me as it was really emotional for me, even though I had to rely on the subtitles for the plot as it was a korean movie. But still, I was really impressed by it!


Afterwards, we headed back to Fairprice to purchase some drinks for the BBQ later and it started to rain cats and dogs. Took a taxi back to the chalet and continued playing our card games! JW then had to go back to prepare himself for his NCC camp. AND GUESS WHAT? When Esmonde came and joined us, my winning streak was destroyed and started to lose badly );. AND JY kept having all the good cards on her hand ):.


The rain subsided eventually and we started to set up our barbecue! It took quite a while for us to do so as there was still a trace amount of rain but we managed to succeed eventually! And guess what, Edmund managed to create a mini flamethrower to allow the rainwater on the BBQ pit to evaporate~. Awesome right? I shall post the video in Facebook soon!

Anyway, off we went and there it was, the BBQ of 3e6'11 (:. Really appreciate the fact that most of the e6 people took turns to help out in the cooking, unlike some people! Sigh, shan't mention about them now.. The satays were alright, as well as the hotdogs! But the chicken wings were slightly underdone.. Oh well, we are amateur cooks, so we shouldn't expect too much from one another..

Then, I went upstairs to play card games with Jue Ying, Esmonde, Ben, Jason and Candy for a short while. We initially intended to go night cycling, but the rental store closed at dawn ):. So, we pushed our horror movie timeslot forward (:. And guess what? We're watching The Nightmare on Elm's Street. It was creepy, scary, horrifying and last but not least, filled with gore. ._. I hated the last scene as it was one of the scariest cliffhangers that I've ever experienced in my entire life. To amplify the effect, Jue Ying was screaming most of the time, hence stiffening the tension among us when watching the movie~.

Soon, we then went back downstairs to play Truth or Dare, before joining the rest of the classmates for an enhanced version of that! It wasn't as exciting as compared to the previous day, because most of us were already worn out by then. Nevertheless, some of us stayed awake throughout the night as we owned it <3. Played Kah Wai's rendition of Truth or Dare, before having loads of Heart-To-Heart talks with them and eventually, I discovered the Ugly Truth ._.

Sigh, I don't get the reason why people are saying stuff like that. To make matters worse, I didn't commit anything of what she had said in that post. I felt ashamed, not of myself, but of her. It's like she's hallucinating, and trying to exaggerate things way beyond its limits. I feel like giving her a serious lesson, but as what my mortal says, I should just leave things the way it is because many know the true events of that accusation already. Sigh.

Anyway, I had to do stuff like the Wheelbarrow with Nicholas, and Adeline had to do kisses to other people's cheeks. I think this rendition is more fun than the actual version (:, as it really kept us awake throughout the entire night!

Then, it was time for us to watch the sunrise (:. Most of us went out of our chalet and strolled into Pasir Ris Park. Grandma was blasting songs in the air with her phone, and I HEAR BRITNEY SPEARS <3. Anyway, managed to snap a few pictures with them, and continued my conversation with her. :D

And soon, it came! The view of it was memorizing, and it seemed so clear, as if everything dawned to me all at once. Then, we took a group photo before returning to the chalet to pack our stuffs and leave, but before that, I managed to take an hour's rest and YA HSIN WAS SO SWEET, she took off my spectacles for me when I was asleep :).

All good things come to an end. Eventually, it was time for us to brace ourselves for that goodbye, as we would not see each other again until next semester unless I organize an event for them once again during the holidays.. To me, I felt that the chalet was a major success, because it really strengthened the friendship bond between me and every single individual that attended the chalet. Really got to know them way better..

AND OF COURSE, THANK YOU GUYS AND GIRLS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL GIFTS AND CARDS THAT YOU'VE GIVEN ME. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT OF YOU ALL REMEMBERING MY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU ALL LOADS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART <3.

Anyway, I went to sleep for like 7 hours when I reached home. And I returned to my dull life once again. But looking at the bright side, my work officially commences next Monday! At least there's something for me to do rather than to just sit at home and rot myself away with this computer..

Just being random, but 'Talk That Talk' is gonna be released in HMV on Tuesday! Can't wait to get one copy for myself <3. I've found love with Rihanna's new song..




Moving on, I've finally done with this post! It took me 3 days to complete it..

To my readers : I hope you're satisfied ^^.

Why does it feel like you're there when I know you're already gone.
Why does it feel like you cared when I know that you don't.
Don't say a word if you know that it hurts.
