So grateful to have had Chris and Gabby as my House Masters for Fall'12 FOC. I can't emphasize this enough.

Thanks for the card, HMs! Love the both of you loads ♥ So glad that I'll be seeing more of y'all in school during the semester. It was really a great experience, I couldn't have asked for more.

Day 2 and I have to say that this is more than what I signed up for.

Crashed PHI 107 and now I really want to take this module. Then again, this means that I'll be having 5 modules. I was against 5 modules right from the start due to the fear that I'd not be able to cope. I decided to take NTR109/110 as my 5th module just because I didn't want to take 2 gen eds in Spring'13. But now, it looks like PHI 107's gonna replace NTR 109/110 instead. So the burning question here is if I should take the module or S/U it instead. Security blanket in a way but it also gives me less motivation to work hard if I were to S/U it. Sounds stupid that the solution to my problem produces a set of worries that is identical to the root cause. I'm seriously going in circles and i have no idea when I should stop.

There are a lot of things that I need to find the answers to. Maybe time will tell. I feel like some confused lost soul floating about aimlessly. And it's hard juggling different groups of friends. Day 2 and I can already feel the strain. Freshies, FOC friends, Socio majors, other friends. I think y'all were joking but I'm really sorry. If I could I'd split myself up but I'm sorry I can't.

Deadline for S/U is 5pm on Thursday and I'm undecided. This is freaking stupid I swear. To the 3 of you who have been tolerating my rants for the past few hours, thank you so much, love all 3 of you. Shall ask a 4th person tmr, although I kinda know what he will say.

It's been a long day, goodnight everyone.

  
Had an awesome time during Fall FOC'12, thank you Heroes for making my first OGL experience such a memorable one.

After sleeping for 3 hours during Build & Bond, we got caught in the rain while walking for breakfast/Dry Run 2. Totally soaked, and the cold wind made everything worse. Uber high after games/mass dance/photo-taking, lunch-ed with Gabby and Elroy before settling at the void deck near my place to help him practice the mass dance. Knocked out after showering, woke up and headed out for a therapeutic 5.31km run. FaceTime-ed Nadia before bed, woke up feeling uber angsty and tired.

Lunch-ed  with Rahul, Nelson and Kuang Jie after tuition, had an epic car ride with the first two. Shopped a lil, chilled at Starbucks for very long before heading over to Marina Square to meet WanRu. Attempted to look for new shoes cause my pumps were on the verge of falling into pieces but to no avail. Saw Chris walking past me, and amazingly enough I saw him again when we settled down at Harry's over at Esplanade with Nadia and Ona. Caught the last bus as usual and I met my brother otw up.

Really sorry for all the angst today everyone! Esp WanRu. Thanks for tolerating me and my weird temperaments! I just need more sleep, seriously. I've been accumulating sleep debt since Summer semester, and I haven't gotten around to clearing it. Instead, I've been making my debt worse. In case you didn't know, half of my holidays have blown past.

That pretty much sums up my past two days and now I'm beyond exhausted.

I think I tend to pay too much attention during instances like these, so much so that I read beneath the non-existent lines. Only time will tell I guess.

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea why this is happening.

8th August 2012; a truly happy day. Met bb for lunch after sooooo long! Plus it was after the much dreaded SOC 211 paper. Love you loads bb! I anticipate more frequent meet-ups in the near future :)



Back to SR later in the evening! Thanksgiving Concert was a blast. Met Nelly & Rahul earlier and we walked around campus; it felt good to be back.


The performances were superb as expected; we really had a good laugh. Mr Ong was laughing at how ridiculously hilarious the teachers were; I think he forgot that he used to be one of them up there hahaha. Epic moment when the teachers went up and we were trying to make him go up too.

Missed the sing-along sessions so badly. National Day songs and If We Hold On Together :')
The latter is a song truly SRJC-ian. And you should have heard how loudly the College Anthem was sung. Really so proud to be an SRJC-ian. SRJC ALL FOR YOU ♥ ♥


Caught up with Mr Wong at the concourse thereafter and I have no idea why I ended up called him Mr Ong. I went, "Mr O-" before realizing my mistake and I decided to shut up after that. He realized it obviously and kept harping on the fact that I can only remember Mr Ong even tho he taught me in J1 heh. Sour grapes much ahahaha. I was asked to talk to his elbow ):
Later on I saw Miss Ong.

me: eh Miss Ong, 你越来越漂亮 leh!
Miss Ong: thanks thanks.
Mr Wong: aiya she can only remember the Ongs. you and Mr Ong.
Miss Ong: you also Ong what, just that there's an additional W in front.
Mr Ong: i think she only remember the pretty and handsome people.
Mr Wong: (smth that I can't rmb)
Mr Ong: (to me) eh i think he doesn't get it leh. HAHA

Dinner-ed at Upper Thomson, and I got a shock when we reached cause the Council juniors were there too. Massive load of orders, and when the guy wanted to repeat all the orders, Kuang Jie went, "I think even if you repeat we also don't know." I think he's secretly a part-timer at The Roti Prata House.


Udders-ed thereafter and zomg, try having Rum Rum Rasin and Tira-miss-u together in a cup. The alcohol content will totally blow you away. Nelly turned red, as usual HAHA. But still nom-nom nonetheless!  I totally forgot that one of the items on Nelly's to-do list after returning from Brunei was to go to Udders. Whoopsy. Had to be reminded of my upcoming exam when I said that we should all go home cause Mr Ong went, "oh yar, you have an exam on Friday!!" Sighxz.

Got a lift home from him and hahaha the car ride was uber epic. I'd do anything just to relieve that 6 hours all over again, really. Haven't really been so happy happy for a long time. The happiness I experienced a week or two ago is on a totally different wavelength from what I'm still feeling right now.

Yes, things might have been different if I had stayed on in the Student Council. We were talking over ice-cream and they were saying that I'd most probably be in EXCO and all. Nonetheless, I'm glad I left Council but met 'em all. Ever so thankful that they accept and treat me as one of their own members. Initially I felt a lil weird cause it was just me and all the councillors but after a while, I kinda got used to it. Feel like an honourary member of the SR Student Council sometimes.

Through the SC, i met the most awesome friends, especially Nelson and Rahul. Thanks for everything, really love y'all deep deep! ♥


Actually, there are more things that I'd really love to pen down regarding 8th August 2012, but I cannot do them here for obvious reasons. All I can say is that I'm glad certain things did and did not happen :)

What I'd do just to relieve the past 6 hours all over again. From walking around the campus, to the Thanksgiving Concert, to supper and even the epic car ride home. A night I'd never forget. Unexpected moments and memories.

It's true that when you do not have any expectations, you're more likely to be taken by surprise when something happens. Pretty much sums up my experience tonight.

I ♥ SRJC; nothing can change that fact.

#HeroesUnite; the chat that never sleeps. Looking forward to Fall'12 FOC :D
Even though that means that the 2 weeks break becomes kinda non-existent.

But before all of that, someone motivate me to study please, sigh. I really need my B+ for SOC 211. SOC 349 should be pretty alright I suppose. SUPPOSE.

Random, but I just realized that only the bottom half of my hair still looks brown. As tempting as it sounds, I'm not gonna dye my hair anytime soon. More like I can't, cause I don't think my hair can take it. Shall wait till the end of Fall'12.

Coincidental much, Gwend was commenting that the SMU kids were having their camp and I turned to people-watch. And guess who I saw? Wasn't the first time too, bumped into her at Chomps that day too! Told me SiHao was inside and I saw him a couple of minutes later.

Woke up feeling uber tired, had to literally drag myself to school. Crashed once I got home, and I've been in bed ever since. I think I'm finally paying back my sleep debt for the past few weeks.

Haji Lane yesterday was nice! You know what happens when you hand me a camera in a nice place, much less one which allows me to take self-shots...










Meeting 'em on Monday again! Feels like I haven't seen them for a gazillion years.

His mercies are really new every morning. Just so thankful for all the blessings bestowed upon me even though I'm so unworthy. 96%, seriously? Totally made my day! Let's hope this assignment and the test next week can pull my grade back up to a B+.

And I'm really really proud of people who know that they are deviant and yet have the courage to touch on that particular topic during a presentation; really warms my heart. Good job, Yen Ping! (':

I'm on a happiness streak, really. Was omw to tuition when my kid's mum texted me to say that he isn't feeling well and asked if i can come in tmr instead. And it so happened that my bus was just about to reach my house. Is God good? Yes He is. Without a single doubt.

Met the Sgoon people from ODAC just now to satisfy my cravings, bumped into Jasmine! I think Gwend wants to kill me right now tho teehee. Thanks for the ride home, Nian Deng! No more rendezvous at Gardens in the near future with him alrdy cause he's moving to hall. Sobz.

Meeting Gabriel and the 小瓜子 tmr! :D Uber last minute, but me like.
