Last one week or so before school starts. omgosh ahhh no, but it's gonna be quite cool because there will only be J2s in the school. YAY CAN'T WAIT TO BE CALLED A J2!!!! That was my dream when i was young. Makes you feel so smart and mature :)

But i am struggling so much with my studies!! I reached a stage where i want to complete my assignments but i don't know how to. It's so worrying. How am i gonna take my As next year??

On the happier note, this week is voted as the best week of the holidays! Really enjoyed myself and laughed so so much. Be it with the youth alumni (look down),

or my lg (look down again)

Or my family, they are really people i thank God for.

Went to Pepperoni for thank-you-dinner with the YA on thursday and it was so nice!!!! We ordered two XL pizzas, with 4 flavours, and one pizza was the size of a............ ok i can't think of any comparable object, but it was damn huge! One costs 50 bucks, and we still had a dessert each. Tiramisu, gelato etc etc with a few jugs of ice lemon tea & lime juice. We didn't know how much the meal adds up or who was the one paying for it, but it was a really sumptuous meal with nice ambience and great chat w my fellow excos :)

Btw, Xinhao and i are under publicity!!! In future when we invite you guys for CNY celebration or batch dinner, please come ok!! Drag your friends down too hehe.

Of course, my lg are the ones who made me laugh like mad too. We had lg @ Weiyeat's condo last friday, seating by the poolside. Sadly Jamie couldn't make it but the activites were so memorable. We shared our 2012 moments and made our 2013 resolutions, took pictures to make a collage to remind ourselves and keep one another accountable (i'll post it after it's done, gonna be nice!) and ate dinz @ Xinwang. Our whatsapp group's name changed from 'Beauties and the Beast' to 'Circle of trust' cos we were sharing secrets HAHA i don't look forward to restructuring because our lg is going to split!!!! (mega sad face). For now, i'm gonna cherish the times with them :)

Ok i am going back to do my GP homework. Jess is gonna make cheesy baked pasta with Chrystal and JunKiat soon, shall kop some of it :)

There’s hell in hello and there’s good in goodbye. That’s why you shouldn’t be afraid of goodbye but careful with the hello.

Went out with Mabel last wednesday! For our monthly cake date (though she is the one who likes cake alot). She had taro cake this month!

Our red &/or green dress code HAHA

We went around taking pictures with everything that is red/green. Quite retarded, but nvm Mabel's always out to do retarded things. We went to Takashimaya's basement to try all the free samples. Some offered to us, others we kopped ourselves. Mabel even resorted to opening the container herself to eat HAHAHA

Merry Christmas babe!!! Looking forward to next month's date :)

Christmas service was great!!! Though earlier in the morning Gabriel and i got cheated. We went for econs tuition when it has stopped for the year. Went opposite to National Library to do some reading and econs homework instead.

Initially, we had a visitors size that is around three/four times our LG size!! But of course some didn't turn up in the end, but yay thank God. The whole axis auditorium was so packed and we sat on the 7th floor for the first time! Weiyeat was so so scared hahaha (tremendous fear of heights).

There was drama, which looked so professional. The props and every minor detail/scene were well taken care of. Karmen did a great job in directing the drama :) But but but, the best part was the sermon! Yay to my favourite pastor- pastor Jeff. He said many cool things that i didn't know. For example, do you know that if you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world?? And if you have money in the bank, in your wallet and some spare change, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy?

WE ARE SO BLESSED RIGHT :)

What was most mind blowing was the part where he zoomed us out on the screen, from Singapore to Asia, to Mother Earth, to the Moon, planets, Sun, galaxy and then the Milky wave. (And apparently we belong to only one of the galaxies among the 100-200 billion galaxies in the Universe) It made me feel so so small!!! And that's the coolest thing. Cos God is so powerful that he created the whole Universe with just his finger and yet he still cares for each and every tiny individual on our Planet Earth. Aren't we loved, doubly loved, triply loved?? ♥

Christmas Party @ Valerie's house was a great time of fellowship. Talked and ate yummy food. It was so good. Cooked and BBQ food (of course i tried to eat lesser of those). Have been drinking honey lemon/ honey aloe vera almost every alternate day. Soothes my throat so much :)

Thanks Crystal for the early Christmas tumblr!!! ♥ ♥

Sunday has always been a great family day. My dad's a good dad, my mum's a good mum and my sis's a good sis. I love my family :)

Oh my this took much longer than i expected. I was supposed to do GP homework but.......... ok that can wait till i blogged :)

Woop i had the most fun and exciting week because there's squash chalet and ablaze camp!!!!! Uploaded only some of the pictures because we took too many haha i'm glad that Alicia and Kaymin stayed over this time round, unlike the june chalet where i was the only girl.

Day 1 when we lepak in our girls' room!

We had pizza for day 1's dinner! (As usual) It has always been like that since the june chalet. But it's nice nonetheless!!! Was so full after eating it. The funny thing was when we laid down the pizzas on the table, everyone took out their phones and started taking pictures HAHAHA and they weren't girls, it was all the guys and they joked around saying 'typical Asian taking pictures of their food before they eat'. They even competed who have the nicest picture on instagram and the food was left at the table for very long before someone started eating (simply jokers)

Slept on the hard concrete floor and it was horrible. Tossed and turned until i got up at 5am, and we watched the...... sunrise together!! There was Kaymin, Mark, Gerald, Jere and me. Mark was a total joke, really. He entertained us throughout the whole walk to the beach where everyone was 50% awake. Though the sunrise was kinda fail, it was a nice morning walk :)

Saw this picture as my wallpaper when i came back from sending Alicia to take the shuttle bus. Gahhhhh these guys are really bhb. Btw, they were mopping the floor of the chalet when they decide to take my phone to take a pic. Haha but thank God for these guys (Junxian and Malcolm) Without them, the chalet would not be a success and the place would be very messy.

Watched 'Rise of the planet apes' that afternoon and it was not bad!! Other than the fact that the other guys called me a chimpanzee after that, just because i gave them cookies like the ape in the show.

Celebrated Kaymin's birthday with a slice of strawberry cheesecake (this girl is allergic to chocolate!! Weilin had to go an extra mile to buy something edible for her HAHA) Charthum came too!!!! yay so happy to see her :)

Happy birthday Kaymin once again!!!!!!! ♥♥♥

Had barbeque that night and i ate so much!!! Ok not really to my greatest capacity but i feel that my throat was getting a bit sore after that. Went back home that day, didn't stay for the second night. The other guys are so cute, i saw their group picture that night where they have their own BBQ supper :)

Met Germs the next morning!! Finally, after so long. Went to J.CO for their donuts because i had to satisfy my craving for it. Though my favourite flavour wasn't there, i had my chocolate donut and urgh, my throat got kind of worse. But but but, it was totally worth it :)

Lunch at Chupong's house! Her maid was so funny. She was super excited that we were coming over and she prepared loads of delicious food for us (though they were fried).

Had LG after that in her house, preparing ourselves for the camp!!! Head down to United World College after that for 'day 0 preparation' :)

And now...................... Day 1!!!!!

Set out early for admin duty and met my LG there. We are the first group to tend the MAMA shop! Though we end up setting up the place only, we had a free scoop of ice cream by Christine!! (wide smile)

Our geek specs identity!

Had Olympics after that! Played 8 different sports and we belonged to Europe (the blue team). My group was so funny because we would stand in a line and do poses before some games to show our mightiness HAHA

After a nice warm bath after praise & worship at night :)

Oh btw the food is so awesomeeeeeee!!!!!!! The best breakfast was pancake, scramble eggs and ham. It tasted so so good! And all the other meals would include a main, a dessert and a side.

Vicki and Valerie!

Day 3 during Carnival!!! With my retarded but beloved sis, Jessphoebewoon!!! :)

Our yellow ballon that we released to the sky, with the message that we want Ablaze to be

Last day taking pictures!!!

By God's grace i made it to the camp!!!! :)

Ok i feel like going running now. Shall blog about the day out with Mabel soon!!! (i know you're seeing this babe HAHA)

A happy day with Rosamundddd ☺

Met at tampines and i finally satisfied my Indonesian BBQ craving. Yum yum it tasted so nice!!!! Went to do some shopping before we head over to Rosa's place.

Initially we were using the oven to bake until there were a number of short circuit, and we changed to using a toaster to bake instead. Though the cookies weren't that nice, but the appearance was much nicer.

Our wrapped cookies! ☺

Best thing of the day: Spending my time with my boobie☺ We were talking about all the drama that happened during our sec 2 days while i was waiting for my bus back home and it was so hilarous HAHA it was the period that we did alot of crappy things.

Thanks for the early christmas present Rosa!!! Love you loads ♥

Yes i am struggling. Stuggling with my own flaws. God humbled me down, forced me to go through pain and made me broken, just so that i can grow to realise that i can't handle things myself.

I have to let go, and let God.

Sometimes we just need a little motivation to move us, to get us going.

'To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment'
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

'Everybody is a genius. If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.'
-Albert Einstein

'Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience'
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

'The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlights reel'
-Steven Furtick

Shouldn't be saying this, but. urgh. jerk.

My phone crashed and i thank God for it. Now i'm on my own island with no whatsapp, twitter, facebook, distractions. I can study/revise my work or go out with my friends only if i have a prior meeting place and time.

Away from the world to settle the knots inside my mind and heart ☺

Was living my life like a princess yesterday, did all the girly things with my mum since dad was in Malaysia for golf and sis was busy preparing for her exams. Started my morning with a nice breakfast which includes a small tuna roll and 1/4 of ritz mango strudel. Did hair treatment after that and my hair still smells so good this morning ☺

Only thing i dislike about yesterday was that mum got hungry so easily and our meals were so tight together. Lunch @ Xin Wang!

So amazed by the size of the thick toast. No wonder it cost around the same price as mum's noodles. But it was nice! ☺ Floss thick toast. Not just an ordinary toast, but french toast. Explains why it was so fragrant.

Made our way down to town and the first stop was H&M. Didn't used to like their clothes very much but i got my new year's clothes there! Happy with my buys. Had yumcha with mum @ toast box after shopping two storeys. Crazy right, i was not even hungry at all. Drank ice lemon tea which tasted surprisingly refreshing and kopped two small cups of Garret popcorn sample. The popcorn man was so hilarious. I went to take one sample cup and he asked me with his funny expression 'do you want one more?' HAHAHAHA and i happily received one more from him.

OG at Somerset didn't have my size for the heels that caught my eyes. Yes it was another Americaya brand. Mum was saying how my new year's shoes are always of the same brand. Maybe because Americaya offers my kind of style that i like ☺ So we made our way to OG @ Bugis and yay they have it! Size 35; thanks to my small feet we always have to make an extra trip to certain places to get my shoes. I wish i had a bigger feet too.

Nonetheless, was so thrilled that i am SO TALL after wearing the heels. Everyone looked so small-sized! Kept smiling to myself after that hahaha but yes my feet started to hurt after awhile. High heels are only fun for a short period of time.

Dinner @ Whitesands kopitiam! Jess joined us too cos she wasn't needed at her workplace. Salmon omelette rice! There was steam emitting out of the hotplate if you could spot it in the picture.

Another 1/4 of ritz mango strudel at home after that. Saved the other half for my dad, who got trapped in a major traffic jam from Johore. He came back only at 11pm, poor thing HAHA.

With such comfort at home, i have the motivation to study hard to do my parents proud. Not that they expect me to be some scholar, but i want to do well and provide for them an equally/more comfortable life in future ☺

Btw, my sleep sucks recently. Every night i'll have a bad dream and would wake up 6am+, force myself to sleep again and would be wide awake at 7.30am. Hope i'll get a better sleep soon!
