Post YEP Trip Gathering!

I haven't posted much. (I know, like really RARELY) Well, I shall skip the part about making u a bunch of excuses for not blogging. ><

Much has happened for the past few semesters. I too went on a YEP trip to Buriram, Thailand. I still miss that place really much and my buddies (Chew Lin and Cassandra) decided that we'll start saving up for a post grad trip to shop in BKK and go down to Burirum to visit our friends and the pa-pas. They are the most adorable and sincere people I've ever met in my life.

I've spent the past few days and today doing nothing with the exception of yesterday which I spent at Botanic Gardens with my YEP trip mates ^^ and Darren. (:  :/ Typical rotting at home kind of lifestyle in SG ever since I was a kid. I've never grew out of my introvert side I guess. At least I overcame the anti-social part. (:

We had awesome brunch (more like lunch) at Food For Thought and I guess the price was not that bad considering that it was a restaurant and it was quite tasty. I was quite late as I had to walk from the Bukit Timah gate. I took my time and strolled, got lost, got distracted by fascinating insects such as giant beetles. I really didn't expect to take near 45 minutes to get to the other end of Botanic Gardens. Turned out that I was actually the first to arrive to find Miss Petrina sitting down in the middle of the restaurant. Then others started to come in one by one. Cassandra, Yun Mei, Stanley, Vijay, Jasvin, Lynn, Gek Luan and last but not least, Mr Dy with his super adorable kids! Our pedo mode was immediately switched on. >< Can't help it. They were just too cute. :P Gek Luan was there after we all finished our food as she had some lessons. Well, Vijay and I are like the only ones without instagram in the YEP group. I guess I've just created one and uploaded an ootd. :/ Not really that confident of my looks yeah. I don't seem to be that comfortable with it yet. It might just end up like my twitter account. :/

I was stuffed despite only having basic breakfast stuff like toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. It was only after I finished my breakfast that I realised that they didn't give me the butter for the toast. ): I was wondering why it was so plain. The main reason I ordered the breakfast set instead of pancakes was for the butter toast. (Big fan of anything butter but not cream) I really do wonder how I don't get fat being such a big fan of these kinda fattening food.

After that, it was an impromptu date with Darren. ^^ I felt so bad that he was waiting outside National Orchird Garden for me when I was still chatting away at Food for Thought. So I went around like a little kid going around the garden, and finally found a bench where I pestered him what the serious thing he wanted to talk about was. Turned out to be regarding the OMF/AMA application. Gosh. The three letters OMF is like some kind of intimidating monster lurking at my door waiting for the chance to pounce and devour me. D': I guess I'm still applying for it. For the experience. Not really looking forward to it as I said it is intimidating! Liberal arts and theatre arts. OMG. I'll just faint and die trying to get what's going on. I'm just a really factual and logical person. Too much to appreciate the beauty of art.

For the past week, I haven't been sleeping well cause I'm really excited and stressed that my grandma is coming!!! Excited cause I really haven't seen her in a long long while. It's not like I can go take a plane and fly to China any day. I had been so tied up with my 101 commitments for the past few vacations that I am really glad to say that I've abandoned the most time wasting and stressful CCA ever. Never regret abandoning it and going for CSIG. The idea of volunteering and being able to make a difference to someone's life really fuels me. No matter how tired I am, I seem to be real energetic when I have to go for an interactive session. Talking about that. I nearly forgot that I am going to The Pinnacle @ Duxton tomorrow for another session of KidsRead! (:

Well, I'm really glad that my grandma is coming over though I'm stressed cause it's gonna be a new environment and a totally new situation for say at least a couple of months. If a laboratory mice get the rights to be stressed when there is a new change of environment, then I should have the rights too right? Just kidding. >< I hope things are not as crazy as I've expected and that my Teochew has not slipped that bad or I feel like I'm on another Burirum right in my house minus the cockroaches, snakes and frogs. I do get beetles, bees, spiders and moths visiting me quite often in my room. Haha. Just gonna stay optimistic. ^^ It's been a long post today. I'll update again. When I feel like doing so. :X

A little escape from work

I decided to take a break from studying. It's a miracle that I had myself glued to the chair for a few hours (It's a feat for me, really) to study Microbiology and 2 hours yesterday at Munch doing Physiology. (Yes, just what am I doing on a Saturday IN SCHOOL?) Well life's busy, homework always win but I guess I didn't waste my weekend away like how I did last week and I think I feel really satisfied with what I did (even though I'm really tired.) I have to go on to revise for quiz tomorrow too. Can't sleep yet. ><

This weather is just too alluring. Every single moment, the wind playfully comes along and daunt me to sleep, the sound of cars passing by is the symphony of the city luring me to sleep with its repeated rhythm and hums...

Alright, I really miss writing. It is just plain miserable to be unable to put your feelings down into words, turn it into something beautiful like a piece of art. I would really love to have the time to transform my feelings into the tiny details described by the wonders of individual words that would otherwise have meant nothing more alone. The beauty of language thus lies in the hands of the one who writes it and the mouth of the one articulating it.

As the buzz of the road slowly died down, another soon arise. In the peaceful night where the chill air lingered around me, the melodious sounds from the distance were pushing my eyelids. Images of peace and tranquility swarm around my head. The image of heaven filled with angels and golden white clouds. The garden path lined with pebbles of odd sizes that led me to the stream ahead, clothed with abundance of fragrant flowers that coloured the green pasture that prospered...

Butterflies danced in midair, fluttering their delicate yet beautiful wings while the birds sung proudly upon the treetops. It was like nature's musical playing out in front of my human eyes.

There I was in my tiny little dream, my little escape from reality. I shall continue with it someday. It's just completely random like who I am.

I have to get back to work now. Serious stuff before I can continue imagining that lovely scene once again.

Random blabberings

So here I am feeling much better from the cough already, but not good enough to allow me to practice the mass dance. (Annoyed) Frankly speaking, the feeling I get from not going to Sns training is pretty horrible. It is this feeling of being left out and missing out the fun. I must be one weird person to find training fun but I guess it is really because of the people there that makes the whole process interesting and fulfilling. I hope I don't have to miss anymore training cause I really don't like that feeling.

Sometimes I can't help but to agree with my Mum that I am one stubborn kid. I wouldn't learn my lesson until I experience it for myself. Well, at least I did learn something, better than nothing. Falling sick, having my 'fainting' episodes back again made me realise that the people around me really care for me and I really feel loved. Care and concern might not be really expressed from day to day but it is these incidents that let me come to the realisation that I am actually really blessed and fortunate to have so many people around me that don't see me as nothing. It has taught me to be more appreciative of what I have right now for it can be taken away from me but God has chosen to let me enjoy this privilege. :D

I've found my faith back in Christ again. I really want to thank the people who were the agent of change. Deep in my heart, I'm really glad that I'm back to the side of the lord, He has embraced this lost sheep back into his herd and is willing to continue to guide me along through my life. (:

On a side note, I'm getting really frustrated doing up my timetable cause I never ever liked the way the school format the timetable so I always make my own. On the other hand, a plain timetable really looks horrible but one with colours makes me go yucks. Well, I don't really know what to do about it. ): Guess I'll wait till I make the last edits when I request to change my EP. :P

I'll leave this here for now. <3

So hols are here. YAY! =.= Basically the routine of trying very very hard to wake up in the morning then sitting in front of the laptop trying to figure out something productive and en up reading manga and all the stuff that I was not planning to do. Trying to do the draft for the banner now. Taking a break cause I'm still pretty lost on what to do. Bleh. Sigh. It suddenly appears that some photoshop skills would be greatly appreciated. For now, I'm stuck with paint but it's good enough. LOL.

Right now it's kind of stressful. Exams are coming in a month. Look at the top right hand corner of my blog and find out that I have two other blogs. The first one was lost because I couldn't remember my account. The second one is left there because I do not want my ex to see what I'm posting so here I am, with a new chapter, a new start.

Right now I'm dead busy with my annoying mum being not understanding at all. Constantly commenting on how others could find time to work during weekends and I can't. Well firstly I ain't somebody else and my body really needs the rest during the weekends. (Not much of the rest part actually but definitely better off than on a school day.)

I'm intending to keep this post rather short cause I still have to practice my guitar which reminds me that I ought to get another tuner soon. I broke mine in about a month. How great. ):

I really ought to go to the post office soon. I wrote a letter but never had the chance to get stamps and post it. How stupid. This is really annoying me. Argh... That's all for today... A rather sleepy Monday...
