Smile

You make me smile like the sun

Fall out of bed, sing like a bird

Dizzy in my head, spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

Ohh you make me smile

~ Uncle Kracker

All in good time...

If This Isn't Love, Say What Is

A lady of my words, I am keeping my promise to update about my 4 Truth reunion, 2 months ago. Better late than never, I suppose.
It was a pleasant gathering and I was glad that things were as easy between us as a class, despite the nearly 2 years of estrangement. I was thrilled to see everyone again and see the changes and maturity in them all. Although, in actuality, it was the familiarity and traits of them that had not changed that I had truly miss and wanted to see. I was not disappointed. Their antics and lame jokes used to crack my up everytime, especially during the ordeal that was of the last few months of our secondary 4 lives, when we were vigorously revising for the O Levels. And, not to my surprise, they still crack me up even now.
We opened up about our ups and downs, from hook-ups to break-ups, in the past 2 years and I was quite surprised that some of them were willing to open up to such an extent. Like every class, we had our cliques so things they shared were not necessarily things you would have known if you were not part of this exclusivity. However, that night, nobody belonged to any group, we were all sharing like we were one big fat clique. Strange that the absence had made them more comfortable in opening up about their lives. I suppose they just had so much to tell us, their excitement undermined their ability to be selective to whom they wanted to tell them to. Everyone got to listen, and everyone did, very attentively over a delicious waffle ice-cream at Gelare.
I truly, madly, deeply miss them very much and hope to see all of them again soon.
Now, for the best part- the pictures! Witness my constant smile in every picture, it all looks the same. Well, I was happy to see everybody. Really happy. Presenting my class from 2006-2007...

The Way You Make Me Feel

Block Test 2 has been manageable so far, except for Maths, which utterly killed me. I am so discouraged that it is difficult for me to focus on my revision for paper 2 of Maths on Tuesday. Something tells me that it is going to be just as horrendous. Math sucks.
Anyway, not much has happened in the past week, except going in and out of libraries for 7-hour study sessions, all by my damn self. It may get a little lonely sometimes, but man, is it productive! I find myself wanting to check out each and every library around just so I can change things up once Woodlands Library gets boring. Nerd-ified, or what?
Then of course there was the loss of Michael Jackson. I am more sad about his death than I thought I would ever be, especially over a celebrity. His sexy moves, with his fedora on and his charming smile had made me fall in love with him once before, especially in the "In the Closet" music video. And I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one. Now that the world is paying tribute to him by playing all his songs and music videos, I come to realise that I miss him. Long live the King, in all of our hearts.

Don't Let 'Em Say You Ain't Beautiful...

A couple of significant events had occured this June holiday, which I have yet to update about. But not today. There was my secondary school reunion and the CIP at Changi with my track buddies (I had to wake up at 4 in the freaking a.m for that!). But I'll update about that some other time.
I came up with a study plan for the holidays, so I have to stick to it as best as I can, if I intend to finish my revision in time for the Block Test 2. It has been helpful because it reminds me how much I still have to go in my revision and how much time I have left. Urgency and pressure have always helped me study more effectively, unfortunately. Boy, nothing can really explain the immense joy in cancelling off the topics you have covered on that piece of paper. I call it the 'stroke of pure bliss'. I try to keep up with it, really, I promise, but my family keeps having these dinner outings. And a girl's gotta eat! So I tag along and my whole study plan for the day is messed up! I am about 2 days behind in my revision schedule so I really have to start kicking into full gear, man.
But one should not neglect one's responsibilities as a blog-owner. So here I am to tell you that I am still breathing.
Besides, I'd like to think that it is important for me to post about stuff like these because I believe that it is always good to know that you are not the only one struggling and pressing for time. Revision period is always an ordeal, but one can definitely take comfort in knowing that everyone is in the same deep pile of shit as you are. You are not alone, my friends!

Mission Possible

I would like to thank Mummy Dearest for accompanying me around Singapore yesterday. Thank you for not complaining when we got lost and when I was walking too fast and left you behind (like, way behind). Thank you for listening to me talk, talk and talk about that somebody, for hours. I heart you! And I promise, the minute I get a boyfriend, I will not trouble you to accompany me for things like these again. Unless, you insist of course.
The plan we came up with is perfect. And I will execute it as best as I can. Although my part is rather small, albeit significant, the success of this mission has much to do with other circumstances as well, circumstances beyond my control. But if luck is on my side and life is kind to me (just this once), I'm sure everything will go smoothly and I'll make you proud, Mummy!

How could I not have seen this when it has been right there, under my nose all this time. Well, better late than never, they say. I AM SO EXCITED!

The Love of Three Oranges

The college play was some time ago, but I think it is still worth mentioning. The play was a little different than what I expected, considering the proximity between the actors and the audience. But I liked the switch from the conventional way. A more refreshing and unique experience, is what it was. I must congratulate the actors and actresses for putting on a great show. And really they were really good. From their articulate speeches, to the projection of their voices, to their I-don't-care-how-silly-I-look attitude. They were in it 110%, I could tell. And having to perform 4 times, twice within a day, back to back must be really tough. But they lived up to the challenge and produced a commendable and admirable performance! Kuddos, guys. Also, I simply must mention, I loved the door gifts.

Of course, what is an outing with my girls without our usual photo-shoots? We stayed out longer this time and sat by the bay to talk (I know, like we don't talk enough in school already, but we really LOVE to talk!). Had a blast, as usual, girls!

Trust me, I hated myself for doing it, again and again.
