wow... 2009 sure passed fast. in a blink of an eye... its 1st january 2010. hmm. it sure is gonna be hard to let go of '09 and start writing '10 on all my papers. yesterday, ana and i mini-celebrated the end of 2009 by writing our regrets and resolutions on a helium balloon (mine was bright yellow) and letting them go. very therapeutic; it was almost as if im finally letting go of 2009 and starting a new year afresh. this year my resolutions will be reasonable and realistic. i can no longer live in oblivion and trust myself to 'stop using the computer', 'practise my piano everyday', or 'stop ponning lectures' because these are things that i will never put into action. instead of aiming for the sky, i suppose i can only now aim for the uh, skyscraper because why make impossible resolutions we cant keep? why force ourselves into unhappiness and compromise our lives in restriction to our resolutions? resolutions should be about the promises we promise ourselves to try and improve for the next year. and here are mine for 2010:
1) stay true to myself 2) work harder and keep in line with my goals 3) be optimistic 4) never stop trying 5) spend more time with my family 6) be more attentive and observant in every way 7) read more 8) stop being so ignorant 9) support my friends 10) be happy.
You probably think they are vague... but maybe vague is the way to go! after all, it probably makes it harder for me to break these resolutions. 10 resolutions for 2010.
And this was last year... i have so many people to thank for making my awesome 2009 so here we go. (in no particular order)
ACES
Abby & Elyn! its been a long time since sec 2, but im really glad i have you guys (even when you buy me an 'idiot' shirt for my birthday) because honestly, who would bother entertaining me when im wasted? when i cant climb stairs?? hahaha. you know i'll be there for you two through thick and thin.
SBS AND DRAMA FAMILY
we are monsters!! in the best possible way of course and next year we will be j2 and having the toughest time in our lives but i know with you guys rehearsals will always be a breeze and not some arduous journey. the cheers and 'c'mon guys!!' when we do push-ups and all that crunches (hey, it builds obliques) will never fail to push me on. here's to many more great productions and greater times :)
SBS!! how can i forget you girls. cmc was amazing mostly because of you girls and i'll never forget all the crazy and high times together and all our insane outings!! chinatown ring shop, subway, golden dragon, sticky, manicures... we have to do more of this in 2010 (which is this year) love love love.
ACSI GANG
sweekiak's birthday YOU GUYS ARE THE MOST RETARDED BUNCH OF PEOPLE ON EARTH. I THINK IB IS GETTING YOUR HEADS!!! but its ok, i love you guys all the same :) all the chill sessions, hanging out together, pigging out, taking random photos, stoning and playing shoot/shag/marry behind the cinemas at cine, organizing birthday parties, crashing each other's schools; each and every one of you made my year. i have never been so close to a bunch of crazy boys and girls and honestly? we need to study more and stop embarrassing ourselves in public hahaha
ACJC PEEPS
when i realized ACS(I) just really didnt want me and i was destined to be in acjc. something i did not regret.
OG! Haku :) sc girls in ac :) hi xt!! :) my orientation buddy

ABBY, HUIMEI, NAT, DARYL, CHERIE, ADRIA, FROSTY-JULIA, PEKS, ELEA! we completely owned sec 3/4 but i think we owned 2009 even more :) all the outings and meet-ups together, i think we're closer than ever. all our crazy (sometimes bimbotic) moments and dinners at daryl's house, visting each other's schools, taking crazy videos in the sc toilets, singing the dg cheer, playing crazy dress-up at huimei's house, playing wii, all the crazy moments! something i will never forget.
1SA2
monopoly hehe wow we survived 2009!! all the random dramas, all the lectures and boring *coughGPcough* and lousy *coughPHYSICScough* lessons. thanks for being there, all 25 of you. even though you guys never ever pay me class funds hahaha and eee mei pai!! love you girls <3 lessons would have been so boring without xiaoyi's and mel's crazy catfights, toto's ponnings and act-cuteness, ellise's sleepings, maisie's preachings, shuyi's retarded chinese-rep moments, dewi's dumb blonde moments <3
BFFLs
CHEE AND JAAAACK. love you guys long long time. you guys dont know how much you mean to me and words cant describe because well, you're the bestest friends anyone can ever have <3 HERE'S TO ANOTHER CRAZY 2010! and because we're nice, jack and i shall do another stupid video on facebook. tarzan and jane or smth. since 'bestfriends remake #2' garnered like 40-ish comments and 8 'likes' (Y)
Merry Christmukkkahhhhh everybody!!!!!! the Pope got attacked on christmas eve hmmm. God Bless.
Christmas is gonna be over in 45 mins, so i'll make it quick. today was enjoyable; had lunch with dad's extended family and then went over to nanny's house with godbro (2 weeks old in NS) and we all cabbed to meizhen's house for nanny's birthday dinner + xmas celebration ^^ took polaroids with the new baby caden - 3mths old and so chubby and tubby and jolly and smiling!! korkor koped all the nice ones though but wtv steamboat dinner was great and qian dyed her hair red which was quite a sight. the kids were running around non-stop and we played with them and korkor and i acted like when we were kids (growing up together) again and as always i get bullied by him and whacked like mad but oh well ITS CHRISTMAS so i forgive! then again we always act like little kids. will upload the instax fotos when i scan all my polaroids next time ^^
nat tagged me in this and its hilarious haha i love marshall oh went for breakfast with nat on wednesday @ simply bread :) sticky bun! she got me an awesome xmas/bday gift, love it to bits. great talking again. after that i went for kap at 11am to studyyy. did like 6 questions of tough math before xy and mel came at 1.30 and from then on IT WENT DOWNHILL HAHAHA they started gushing about avatar and stuff like that so i did much less but it was still considerable :)
'avatar is so much better than titanic!!' -xiaoyi i have to completely agree. watched it with the parentals on xmas eve night and it was a great way to start christmas :) to revel in the CGI and the technology we now have, and also to cry at the plot and the love story and ahhh it was just damn awesome x10000 BEST MOVIE OF 2009. OWNS TRANSFORMERS 2 HANDS-DOWN, SORRY TRANSFORMERS (BUT I STILL LUV YOU)
acff backstage + the process audrey was awesome :) ^^
photos from birthday celebration for zw and i with ck/palmer/swee/ana/jack/marcusss @fish&co quite a while back: birthday babies DA COUPLE and i ^^ yes, Stitch is on my head. hehe bestfriend PROs going crazy
which reminds me, im going back to school tmr again to meet ana banana for our drama board ^^ both of us went back on christmas eve morning and planned to go arab street after that but ended up lepaking with shafik and naz at the cage + the candeck while doing our board. all of us were spazzing like mad and were high on like, AIR hahaa then we trooped down to BK at holland v and they attempted to study while i just stared at them and rewatched a himym episode ^^ trooped down to my usual hair salon place at lucky plaza to meet my dad and shafik decided to get a haircut too so everyone stayed at the hair salon and made a whole lot of noise haha but its ok our haircuts turned out great!! fun gang manz. then of course i watched avatar OMGGG AVATARRRRRRRR *______*
school reminds me of:
school starts in approx... 16/17 days. time to get down to the HOMEWORK and REVISION (and also back to working at the zoo hehe)
okay bye guys, its 22 mins to the end of Christmas now! Treasure it with friends and family :) remember, teen drinking and shisha is bad for health!! lets start jc2 clean and green :)
Did anyone realize xanga has been shamelessly promoting the fact that you can 'change your username' 'jUST CLICK HERE!' and then you click it and then you realized you need like 10,000 credits for it... and you only have 1000+ & xanga is cheating your feelings :(
today i woke up and my throat was all scratchy and itchy AGAIN UGH UGH UGH and im going to china on wednesday how am i going to survive?! met toto, mel and xiaoyi yesterday for pontianmee at FEP and retardedly i didnt bring my normal camera i only brought my brand-new-birthday-present-from-p10 fuji instax so we just took hello kitty polaroids ^^ jack joined us to go haji after that so he took the polaroids for us yay imma scan the polaroids in later. they all look very pretty and polaroid pictures are really flattering they make your complexion amazingly perfect and your eyes insanely huuuge! i foresee myself spending $$$$ on polaroids though :( like vday 2009. anyway i just realized i havent updated tihs space since... end of monte cristo. good times, good times. after that life was beyond hectic had 'Roll over, Beethoven', malaysia resort trip, acff etc etc...
Before Roll Over Beethoven! Huimei's hwachong fundraising thing. it was at haji @blujaz and it turned out quite a blast the music was pretty good and it was packed so that means it was a success for their ocip :) and guess what... i finally saw THE FROG!!! hehehe only debra will understand how i truly feel we were both embarrassing huimei ttm but who cares. there was this amazing singer from hwachong that sang 'insomnia' it was really really good i was like 'phwoarrrr not bad!' and of course some awkward performers but it was okay. and of course there was tim's amazing guitar skillz, whats new!!
oh i remember the day after that brian tim cheryl dewi and i went to jurong swimming complex to swim. i miss that pool, with the lazy river and wave pool and water slides, it was like reliving my childhood memories. good fun, although we are 17 we all played like little kids. i remember the very strage rainbow that appeared only if you're under the 'rain' (aka freezing cold water pouring from above) in the wavepool-.-
MONTE CRISTO PPP i really liked our PPP :) held at mich chern's house at the caribbean, SBS + costumers met up early at fep to do our nails ^^ we screamed/yelled/talked the whole tiny little shop down and everyone got their nails painted (except isk and wenhan of course, but wenhan was staring at the bottles and he almost wanted to try opi suede). audz and i tried the suede collection and its like shimmery MATTE how cool is that!! we're gonna try opi matte next time like the bubblegum pink ^^ SBS + COSTUMERS!!! i think some of them were still inside. audz and i :)
at the party itself i mostly ate pizza, bridged with dani/audz/isk, then joined the rest of the SBS + dancers in their circle of trust bridging gang!! 'CIRCLE OF TRUST, GUYS' birthday buddy!!! entire drama family <3 mdm included! (loves dani for her amazing dslr fotos) our shepherd and sheep board :) am so proud of it
ACFF! wow. surpassed my expectations by far and honestly, i really dont know how all of us managed to pull it off. worked backstage with miv/jo/dani/ginny/sasha etc etc and abby/sancia ushered and with claudice managing the models, and aly/leo/junhung helming everything, it turned out a success :) backstage was a mess though, not what us theatre kids are used to - there was no discipline, no space, no peace and quiet but everyone managed to WORK IT and we scrambled less on the real thing itself and though there were some hiccups i think everything really turned out fine. the bands were great the models looked amazing and i made alot of new friends. it was honestly a great experience and afterparty wasnt too shabby either ^^ supper was rather small; somehow i managed >18 hurhur but i wished korkor was still floor captain there /: around midnight shawn went down to find abs/huimei then he called and was like 'eh! come down!! now!!' and i thought it was some urgent matter only to find them holding a cute little (pathetic) starbucks psuedo-cake ^^ awww so sweet loves abs + huimei alot alot alot <3 11 Dec - 17th bday for me, 1st month for ab-ling/a-bling ^^ daniii <3 HAHA LOOK AT MIVIO'S GOLDFISH FACE
MOI BIRTHDAY Thank you peks, jools, huimei, abs for the wonderful birthday ^^ it was like last year, teppanyaki grrlz (+1) and i alot of fun stuffing myself with cake and french food and walking around town and hanging with all the friends i love :) its quite hard to find friends still around during december because everyone goes away, but im really thankful i still have friends that make time out of their busy schedule (and exams) for me :) feel so blessed *weeps* thanks for polaroid camera guys (daryl, adria, hm, abs, pek) <3<3<3
well yesterday i read on nylon about peaches geldof and her new year resolutions. what she says is completely true: why make insanely-difficult-to-uphold new year resolutions? next year im making realistic ones.
going to china on wed. meh /: will be back on the 20th!! xx
Theatre week is finally over. the whole week has all been quite a blur to me; after 2 months worth of endless rehearsals, pricking my fingers with needles, confusion over dance shoes, fil's perfectionism, ankle sprains, blisters, painful abs (or lack of)... theatre week ended it off with a bang. i do not regret ever being part of this, and everyday of pain and blood and sweat was completely worth it. despite being in only one dance and in the ensemble cast, i feel fulfilled. i know i can go further, reach higher, and i will absolutely try my best in the next production. but for now, this is enough.
my production day(s), pre-show, go like this: report at noon-ish, check the shepherd/sheep board for notes and candy, spaz when my shepherd gives me yummy stuff, spend 5 mins wondering who my shepherd is, attempt to shush padi, durggs, dani, jo, aksh, nat when they're noisy, write notes to my sheep and shepherd, quick warm up with everyone, go on stage to revise dances, sit around with the rest of the furniture people, lean on andrew (my free, loveable couch), go down and start on make-up with the wonderful help of sherlyn, audz, and nat, then isk hairsprays my hair and messes/styles it up for me, ogle at audrey's pretty hair curls, laugh at vebi putting on sebby's foundation (sho cute ^^), jew off the amazing granola maple pecan with josh and many others, scream at wenhan for burping every hour or so, dinner with whoever's that's eating, borrow jo's mascara, change into my prison dress and shredded stockings, go up for insane 2-hour long warm-ups - including crunches, pushups, ballet stances, voice warmups and awesome characterization (loves it), come down, rush for lipstick and start angsting up with miv, jj and afi, get into the fighting mood, give everybody huge bear hugs, listen to bryant's/tim's inspiring pep talk, go on stage level and angst even more, pump fists with mich, yvonne and archie (all my prison team), jj messes up my hair even more, we all angst even more... and then the music starts and we all stand backstage in the wings and the curtain opens... pure exhilaration.
i will miss this. and everyone in it - i miss you all already. the bonds we have formed together, even with the dancers, i dont think it'll ever be broken. to SBS, we are in the circle of trust for life :) to comm, thanks for everything. all the shit and screaming we've been through together, it was worth it.
three cheers for fire alarms three cheers for diarrhoea three cheers for the drama family, i love you all.
a movie with miley cyrus = win (i'll give it to her, she can act occasionally) a song by miley cyrus = win (in terms of radio popularity) a tv show with miley cyrus = win (hannah montana is my kind of LOL) a scandal/gossip/autobiography/lawsuit/everything else to do with miley cyrus = EPIC WIN. love to hate you, miley.
The past few days have been... sickly. stayed at home for almost 4 days in total thanks to my award-winning flu/fever/bowels/stomach/throat. very annoying. went for rehearsal on thursday at 9am and ended up sitting outside the black studio looking very pathetic and skipping warm-ups completely. mdm said i made a 'valiant attempt' (exact words) and then sent me home. so for the past 4 days i have been sleeping at least 14 hours a day. at least eyebags are reducing :)
Ok well i just watched approx 10 hours of tv .___. 8 episodes of heroes volume 4!!!!!! im almost done though, yay. instead of going for acff pre-event, i recuperated (hate this word) at home and enlightened myself with heroes. wish i wasn't sick in the first place /: hate my immunity system (or lack of). but at least i wont fall sick again during theatre week, i hope. reality check - 4 more days till production day!!!
An excerpt from dewi's blog: 'Anyway yesterday as I set at the dining table thinking of what I was doing the following day, it suddenly came to me that woahhhhhhh it's a Sunday and I HAVE NO PW MEETING!!!! I felt sooo weird It seemed like a tradition for me already; to come back from Church, have lunch with my family, then off to somewhere in Holland V to meet up with Allen Brian and Cassi Hang around somewhere reading while Brian and Cassi play Puzzle Fighter and Allen... sleeps Then we'll get bored and head to the playground and play frisbee while getting bitten by mosquitoes and then comparing who has the most bites and what blood type group we're in And then we'll start playing 2 v 2 where Cassi would always run to ....'
there's more but you wont want to know how she goes on and on about making fun of me and my lack of intellect... yeah i miss pw sessions too!!! pokemon, frisbee, puzzlefighter :( gooOoooOOOOOoooooneeee... with the wind....
Gahh im getting so theatrical.
On my bed lies my SAT book, Our Daily Bread (God provides!! God heals), and my theatre week packing list.
