Pour It Up.

Baby don't forget my name,
when the morning breaks us.

Taiwan has been magnificent! I'm still there though, relishing the various snacks and delicacies that this lovely country offers. Ah. The chicken. That has to be my favorite snack here. The succulent fried chicken!

I might type out a proper post to describe my trip to Taiwan, but I'm just going to do a casual post now.. Life's been good recently. I might be a little mad, but I can't wait for orientation! (:. I can't wait to see all my friends from ZH, and make new ones as well. I hope that I'll be able to embrace the new chapter of my life appropriately..

Anyway, I'm planning to be a little bit more active this year ^^. Maybe it's time to kick that lazy ass of mine and start doing something physically instead of giving "moral support" to others which usually mean nothing at all. Oh yeah, I'm planning to lose weight as well. Perhaps I should follow Rowena's suggestion and re-ignite the passion inside me in swimming. That should be on top of my New Year Resolutions list. I should start immediately once I get back.. Maybe once a week, with a standard 10-10-10? Hmm. And I'm seriously considering to boycott choir as my CCA in JC. Maybe 8 years of experience is sufficient for me. I'm still considering my other options, but I'm also deciding whether I should join a music school to have singing lessons. They're a little expensive though.. And I'm afraid that they'll clash with my school schedule ><.

There are lots of things to prepare, especially when I've not attended lessons for about 3.5 months now. Gotta get a new calculator which costs a ton T.T. Putting that aside, I'm glad that I've already found a study partner for the next two years! Got to start brushing up on my GP! I don't even know what themes I should specialise in ><. Ah. Gotta start paying more attention to the things that occur around me. I like globalisation. So I might take that..

Did I mention that I can't wait for orientation? I heard that NYJC's Student Council has already planned it all out, and that it'll be fun (:.

Sigh. Gotta start training my body clock, even though I only need to wake up at 0730 once school starts.. I'm a little too used in sleeping 12 hours a day.. :X

Like a drum baby don't stop beating.

Figure 8.

I need you more than I can take.

Singapore has been great to me! (: Sorry for not being able to post for two weeks because I've been a little busy catching up with my family and friends in Singapore! Oh, and for the previous post, it's delivered two weeks late because I forgot to post it when I reached home.. 

Anyway, I went out with Yi Jie on the eighth! It's been great having her around. It's kinda saddening to know that that outing might be one of the last few for us since we are most probably heading towards different institutions in the next chapter of our lives. We went to Orchard for our outing! But before that, my mother gave me vouchers for Takashimaya upon knowing that I would be heading for Orchard. Had breakfast with YJ before getting tickets for 'Wreck-It-Ralph'! Then, we headed to Takashimaya to buy 4 packets of Takoyaki for Lunch! I would have forgotten that she doesn't like mayonnaise if she had not reminded me not to put any mayonnaise dressing in her packets! Oh, and I bought her a few packets of Matcha Pocky! Headed to Cathay Cineleisure to catch our movie but we were about 30 minutes early. So, we decided to stone at the tall tables near the cinema to chit-chat. We each ate about one packet of our takoyaki while waiting and smuggled the rest in.. Oh yeah, she downloaded Phewtick onto my phone and I found it quite cool initially because users are able to get $30 in their Paypal account after accumulating a huge amount of points! But I discovered the undesirable effects when I got home because you'll be giving away your current location to other users of the app too. And to make things worse, it's kinda like an app for stalkers. I would like to have some privacy and am still quite surprised to find out that I hadn't un-installed the app yet. Now that reminds me..

Moving on, the movie was awesome! Headed to ION orchard to accompany YJ to buy her new set of earpiece! And after that I headed home to play LoL and dinner (:.

Went out with Jue Ying on the 9th at Kallang Leisure Park! She was late for about 30 minutes, but I wasn't mad because I remembered myself being late for about 5 minutes for most of our hang-outs. And that occurred more than 10 times! Besides, I wasn't exactly bored waiting for her because I was wandering around the mall. There's a mini Korean Mart there and the stuff they have is quite cool! ^^. We had lunch at a Japanese restaurant. I think my meal was worth the price, even though it may be a little pricey for a lunch. Anyway, I had a Salmon Teriyaki Don, Yakitori and Matcha Ice Cream for $10! (: Went to the Bowling Alley downstairs for two games (:. I think I did quite okay because of my lack of experience in Bowling.. Headed to Starbucks to get JY her macha-whatever drink. And guess who I met? AIKO! Ahh. She's cute, just saying. Anyway, she's there for netball and I was quite surprised to see her because it has been one-and-a-half years since I last saw her. AND SHE RECOGNISED ME! She was telling me how the OBS T-shirt I was wearing was awesome because she had one too.. Haha.. Anyway, JY and I went to browse through a mini book fair before heading home..

And then there came judgement day. It was the time for reckoning.. I still remember myself being sick to my stomach whenever I thought about my results. Anyway, I headed out to Nex with my family to have a quick lunch at Hot Tomato! My dad told me that I was most probably going to receive 14 points raw for Os and that freaked me out. Headed back to school nervously to await our verdict. Mr Teo told me to relax when he saw me, but I still panicked anyway.. Felt a little relieved upon seeing the smile on Mrs Ong's face when she was walking up the dias. Was searching frantically for the distinction rates for Combined Humanities (Geography) and Biology and was even more relieved upon realizing the high distinction rates! And soon, it was time for the result slips to be given out. And it sucks being the first register number in a class. You always get your results first. Wasn't ecstatic nor sad about it. Just contented. There were subjects I thought that I could've done better.. Anyway, here are my results :

English Language - B3

Combined Humanities ( Geography ) - A2

Elementary Mathematics - A1

Additional Mathematics - A1

Chemistry - A1

Physics - A1

Biology - A2

Chinese - A2

Higher Chinese - C6 ):

Was quite disappointed with my HCL because that means that I'll have to retake Chinese in JC because I don't want a 'C' to appear in my A-level cert. AND FUCK STOMATA AND GUARD CELLS. YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK. That stupid mistake gave me an A2 ):. FUCK IT.

Went home afterwards to consider my JC choices since we were only given 5 days which include a weekend to make our JAE decisions. ):.

Anyway, headed to NYJC's open house with Chang Jie, Mun Pin, Qiyu and Ting Hong! The facilities there are REALLY cool (:. I felt the sense of belonging the moment I stepped inside the school compound. I like the range of CCAs that it offers, and the results there have been pretty good too! Watched a few performances from the various performing art groups before asking questions about appealing and stuff..

Went to Central Macs to have lunch before going to AJC's Open House! Was kinda disappointed with it though. The facilities looked REALLY old and the goodie bag didn't contain anything that has any information about the school.. Not even a map. Well, at least I get to meet Diana! It's really nice to see her again! 

Visited SAJC's open house with Sarah and Chang Jie on the 12th! Was also quite disappointed because I felt kinda underwhelmed about the facilities there as I had high expectations for that JC.. And Sarah was right. NYJC is better than SAJC in almost every area, except for the excellence in certain CCAs. But the welfare in NYJC is definitely better! Walked around the compound for about 20 to 30 minutes before heading to Serangoon to have lunch at Carl's Junior! Ah. I really wanna visit Sarah's workplace someday ):. And I hope that it'll be real soon because school's starting soon already..

Anyway, completed my JAE applications on the 13th upon much deliberation. It was about the arrangement of my first two choices. ACJC and NYJC.. I think that both schools are good in their own ways. But distance definitely did matter. So NYJC won hands down. And now, I'm hoping that I'll be able to enter NYJC because I've already known many of my friends putting it as their first choice too! AND MORRIS IS GOING TOO ^^. Woots. He's one of my closest friend in SAJS (:. Ah. I remember the school bus rides we usually had! We used to sit next to each other on the bus home! And the best part? WE CAN GO TO SCHOOL TOGETHER ^^. He lives like just two blocks away from my house ^^.

Moving on, went out with Jue Ying on Thursday in Plaza Singapura! Had lunch together at a Japanese restaurant before wandering around the mall~. Was quite surprised to know that Mark&Spencer has a food hall, just like the one in HK! Ah.. Kinda regretted not giving my close friends other stuff from HK ):. But I'm glad that they received and liked it (:. 

Had green tea snow ice at the basement for a short tea-break! It was simply delectable, but of course, not comparable to the ones in HK. THEY ARE JUST TOO GOOD (:.. 

Headed to Ang Mo Kio to grab JY's dose of Koi before walking around AMK Hub for about 30 minutes before meeting Randy and Joyce at the cinema. 'Gangster Squad' is a nice but slightly gory movie. Ah. Emma Stone is inside. I LOVE HER TO THE MAX! Anyway, the movie was more memorable for me because something happened in the cinema ^^. Well, I don't think Randy and Joyce know so I'm going to keep my lips sealed before any nonsense comes out from my mouth ^^.

Had Pepper Lunch for dinner! It was nice catch-up session with Randy and Joyce! Ah. It's sad to know that I might not see Randy anymore since we hardly hang out and we'll most likely end up in different JCs. ):. 

Anyway, I've been spending the rest of my time playing LoL at home and catching up with my fellow gamers ^^. I feel blessed to have friends like them. Ah. Team rock solid FTW. Even though my support Lux may miss her snares during a few critical moments.. But it feels great to play with them!

Sorry about the abrupt ending, but I gotta end this post now because it's 1226 now. Urgh. Gotta work on my endings..

I'll see y'all again..

You're the reason why I smile (:

The Getaway.

Wish I can tell you goodbye,

but I won't.

'Cause everytime I try,

I'm beggin' you to unlove me.

Because I can't unlove you.

Hey guys! I'm currently typing this post on the plane home ^^. And yes, that means that my holiday in HK has ended and it's time to face my dreaded 'O' level results on the 10^th of January. Sigh. Worried sick about it. Now that the holiday is over, I'm getting a tad more nervous for it every passing second.

Anyway, my last few days in HK have been great! Went to Sham Shui Po to visit my uncle's office and it was pretty cool (:. After that, I headed to South Horizons to visit my Aunt! She looks the same everytime I see her. And the best thing about her is that she hardly wear any make-up. She's all natural!

Attended a seafood dinner on Saturday, and it was extremely symptious! We had shrimps, a gigantic fish, clams, mussels, prawns etc. Definitely delectable! But the worst part was that I arrived an hour earlier because I read my aunt's message wrongly.. ):. How clumsy of me to have misread a specific detail!

Sunday was simply awesome for me! Started the day with Les Miserables. Quite surprised that Singapore has an NC-16 rating for it while HK has none. I was initially quite uncomfortable about the way the characters interacted since most of them sang their dialogues out, literally. But this show's a DEFINITELY MUST-WATCH especially if you're a Anne Hathaway or Amanda Seyfried fan! Anyway, I think there's an actress involved in the movie that looked like Jennel Garcia who was a contestant in the FOX series X-Factor USA. She looked EXTRMELY pretty! So, for those who have not come of age before the movie run ends, you've just missed one of the best movies of all time! Cried twice in that movie. The actors/actresses delivered their emotions very well in the movie despite having the need to sing or at least, mouth the lyrics of the songs out.

My favorite scene is when Anne Hathaway was singing the renowned ' I Dreamed A Dream '. The emotions hit me in the head hard.

Anyway, now that I'm going to fly back to Singapore, I think it's time to really settle down and get ready for the new chapter of my life that I'm about to embrace. Ah. I'm planning to re-tidy my room once more despite having cleaning up my room before flying to HK. I think I might need more space to put my lecture notes and tutorials because I can't throw any worksheets for the next two years! Oh, and I wanna make my life more organised. To tell you guys the truth, I'm still quite surprised that I virtually managed to memorise all my homework and events without touching the personal organiser that ZH had given me for the past 4 years. But I'm planning to change that from today onwards! Gotta start hunting for daily planners to mark my homework down and organise my life better.

Moving on, I think I should get a glass jar. I wanted to purchase one in HK, but was worried that it might break on the journey home, especially on the plane! Well, I'm going to follow Joy's idea of recording happy occasions that will be definitely be happening in the year ahead and place them inside the glass jar. I think it's a great idea because it'll definitely remind me of the happy memories I will have in 2013 when I do my end-year reflections in December once more..

Oh yeah. Huifang, if you're reading this, I'm really sorry because I don't have the guts to do what you've told me to do ):. Maybe one day, things will be alright between us again. Sigh. I feel so dumb for all the things that I've did. For the wrongs that could have been right..

Moving on, I am glad that all the gifts I've sent for delivery have been received, except for Adeline's! Ah. Feeling a bit worried for hers. Not because of the actual gift, but the card. Spent almost an hour writing it! And that reminds me that I got to buy cards and start writing my farewells to my friends.. Feeling a little stressed right now because there's so little time to write but I'll try my best to complete them, espcially for my close friends! I can't imagine life without being schoolmates with all of you! Y'all have been great to me!

By the way, I've heard from my aunt that MSN is going to close down soon.. ):. I'm so going to miss using it. Especially with all the conversations that I've made..

Hmm. I think I'ma end my post here, since there is nothing much to blog about these days. But I'm hoping that my outing with Yi Jie tomorrow will be exciting! (:

But you keep thundering and wondering,

thundering and wondering why you won't just fucking rain.

And get it over with.

Echo.

I thought I'd call just to let you know,
I've been thinking of you.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me. And I'm feeling GOOD~ Ah that song's a classic. It has been covered countless times by contestants in various singing reality shows! Certainly the make-or-break type..

Anyway, how's everyone's new year? Mine's been really awesome! Went to a geopark yesterday with my aunt! Even though it may seem like Geography as I was learning more about the different types of rocks, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and took lots of pictures (:. Thinking about the new year, I've realised that I've forgotten to make new year resolutions ):. Well, of course I'll be wishing for good 'O' level results ( below 9 points RAW), to be truly happy and make new friends in the next chapter of my education as well as to forgive those who have hurt me in the past and made me stronger to become who I am right now.

Of course, it'll be hard to forgive my once-close friends who treated me like shit. But I'll try to let it all go, but it'll take a while. Maybe months? Or even the entire year. But I'll do my best to fulfil this resolution by the end of this year!

So here we go again. School's reopened and I see juniors struggling to finish their holiday homework. I hope that choir will do well in the upcoming SYF and the Sec 2s and 4s would work hard for their final examinations this year ( Streaming exam and O levels at the end of the year ). Remember, nothing's impossible! (:

Moving on, I'm returning to Singapore really soon, in less than a week's time! Life's been pretty great here in HK, but I don't really wanna return because the 'O' level results will be released REAL soon once I return and I've been nightmares about them. What if I don't do that well? What if I don't get into SAJC? Sigh, I won't be able to enjoy my trip to Taiwan if I get horrendous results.. I've tried to convince myself that I've done my best already, but what if your best just ain't enough?

Oh well, so much for trying to end this post with a happy note.

PS. I'm thinking of changing my blog's URL pretty soon.. It's time to change it to a song title that's more updated~ 'Sometimes You Leave' was by Carrie Underwood in 2007..

I need your love.
I need your time.
When everything's wrong,
you make it right.
