I survived! :)

ONE MORE WEEK!!!

Hiya! :) Feels like it has been ages since i last updated. Really updated my blog, i mean. Whoosh! Life has been really packed. and BUSY. really busy.

CRAZILY INSANELY RIDICULOUSLY BUSY!!!

Despite my busy schedules, i still try to find some time for you guys, to talk to you guys, keep in touch, join you guys. You guys are lucky huh. But still, i couldn't make it for all. ERIC!!! I'm so so so terribly sorry! :( I really wanted to meet up but was busy. sigh. Jane said next week Eric is gonna go back to NZ. So soon! Gotta meet up somehow, but i'm really afraid in the end, i would be the one saying "sorry, i can't" again. :(

So, what was i so busy with? Drama script, emcee audition, banner design, handball training and practices, ES full paper test, handball closed tournament... GOSH! I didn't know, and didn't expect my life would turn sooooo BUSY. Okay, i enjoy being busy, but maybe not this much. It's driving me crazy! I'm starting to lose all my good mood, and get irritated so easily. I have never expected it to become like this! This is so way different and worse than the one i used to picture before. And yeah, one thing - i just hate (dislike, loathe) rainy mornings! Feels like my good feeling for a brand new day is showered away by the rain. Just, don't like it. =/

Preparing for test...Wednesday, after Softball, took a refreshing bath and went to school library. I wanted to finish reading the poems. I was alone too at that time (sounds pathetic? a little. :P) prefer to study alone :) Erm, a not-so-talkative companion would be great though. hehe. So yeah, plus that was an afternoon, after weeks of packed activities, i barely had enough sleep. And that afternoon, i just couldn't run away from sleepiness. I was really tired. So, i guess i didn't really study much too, just managed to read all. I was so sleepy that i kept yawning and dozing off. Until...i saw a CCTV just right in front of me, on the top. Oh hoh. Friday, after YA, came back to hostel (cuz Saturday we had test and Handball tournament) to study. That night was...terrible. Fighting with sleepiness, drank a cup of rich coffee, trying my best to stay awake. X( Argh! I love ES so i really wanted to do well in it. But,

It's this thick, how do you expect me to finish reading everything? Okay, reading everything, i can do that, but what about understanding and remembering them? No way! (Those are all my precious notes btw :D)

I just hate it, when...

sickening thing like this happened! My book! :'(

Luckily, my week wasn't so bad cuz once in a while, daddy will bring some home-cook food for me, knowing that i am super allergic to the cafe food. :p

mama's fried rice! With prawns, but they are just too tiny, if not, i could kek someone. :( hahahahaha.

and some sweet, cute and colourful cupcake from Jacq. :)

Thursday night, after tiring and energy draining handball practice, i made this with the help of Fiona. First time making. NOt so bad. :p haha. Then we went to rooms after rooms to deliver the drink. :)

just to finish up the limes mama gave me. :)

Saturday, ES FULL PAPER TEST. Tried to study the night before but was too tired, so gave up and went to bed. Woke up 330am to resume the study, which didn't really work (and never will work well for me!) NOt a morning person. =/

I took one of this powerful weapon from home but still...couldn't help much. Brain was totally dead. X( NOt functioning. And i didn't know that i was that panic till i couldn't remember a thing i learnt before. Kantoi! (LOL! First saw this word from Mun and the other day, Myli, my classmate from Penang said it again. So i learnt it. Penang language ey?) Anyways, it was really bad. Screwed it up. Sigh. It's just a pre-mock test, and it's already that difficult. What more to say if it's my mock? or the FINAL?

(Oh btw, the cat case behind, very cute isn't it? :D it's especially for me to keep wires. :P)

Saturday evening, Handball Closed Tournament. 1st team, and we're fighting against our seniors. Scary enough. We lost! hohoho. Scored one point, at least. :p hehe. It was fun, but rather rough. My arm was pulled, and my perfectly- beautiful-shot-to-be was being hit away from the back! :( so sad. If not, it would be a perfect and beautiful shot. haih.

* * *

Designing the banner for Recreational Sports Programme was really really tiring! :( Owing to the extra large scale which i used, my Photoshop ran so slow that i almost gone crazy by just waiting for it to save the changes.

and the final design:
Those are the photos which i took. Look at the pink tent, it was the camp we set up last year. And that yellow bag, was actually mine! :p The cooking, which caused me to have a real bad tummy ache last year.

Today, we watched... FREEDOM WRITERS!

Must watch must watch! It's indeed an inspiring and enlightening movie! (especially for teachers) I've written the summary and reflection (review) on it so i really feel lazy to retype. :p In this story, the teacher, Erin Gruwell shines as the epitome of a dedicated teacher who gives selfless love , care and sacrifices to her students. Basically, it's all about how Erin dealt with her students' problems, changed their lives, touched their lives, while coping with problems and conflicts between her colleagues and her husband. A very noble job i must agree, after watching. Anyways, feel so sad leh, her husband, Scott, just didn't understand Erin. He blamed Erin for paying less attention on him and in the end, their wonderful marriage came to a divorce. Aiyoyo. Lousy and terrible husband! Tsk Tsk. I pray this won't happen to my husband! :p He should be the one supporting me in whatever i do. I think i would break down too if even my spouse himself is not standing on my side and helping me to pull through. Listen here ah, whoever you are. :p

MISS director in action! :p Mdm Angie didn't come to class today, so we used the time to discuss our dramatization. I'm very pleased everyone is giving their cooperation. Hopefully there won't be any conflicts and inner fights amongst us. :) Happy working, people! Gonna put full force in it after our Mock. :)

songs selected for drama. :D

erm, just some random thing on the white board, by me. :)

* * *

OKAY! i know it took me really long, to actually finish this novel. =/ It's a birthday gift from Bert. :D Thanks! The story is just magical, sweet and wonderful. :) I really really enjoy reading it. I wasn't keen on finishing it at first because i was quite busy, you know that. So yeah, left it there for quite sometime but in the end, told myself i gotta finish it last week. So i read it every night, after i had done with my thing. (Sometimes, i chose to read it first.) Till the last few chapters of it, i started reading it so eagerly cuz i really want to know what would happen in the end. I'll try to summarize it later. It's a good book to read. Aww! Cecelia Ahern's book, a modern fairy tale. :)

Alright, here comes the summary!

"How can you know someone you’ve never met?

Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn’t. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair.

Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and meets an attractive doctor, who persuades him to donate blood. It’s the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time.

When Joyce leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, she moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of déjà vu is overwhelming her and she can’t figure out why …" (Cecelia Ahern's website)

"déjà vu" is a cool term you know. I had this kinda experience before but never really known what is it called. And yeah, the story plots go on pretty well. Especially the last few parts. Justin and Joyce started to find out about each other, especially Joyce, who wanted to know so much what's happening inside of her. She wanted to find out why was she suddenly speaking Latin, eating meat, seeing images of buildings and historical places in her mind which she never did or seen before. And why was she somehow felt connected when she saw Justin? They had met quite a couple of times, and Justin found himself strangely attracted to her but he didn't know he saved her before. In the end, they get to know each other, Joyce found out Justin was the donor of the blood, and thanked him secretly using muffin cakes. (which i find it so cute, i wish there would be secret people dropping me muffins, hiring a taxi for me. haha. It will prompt me to dig out of this person more! Em em em... 14th Feb is near. :D It's either you give me presents or you give me ang paos. LOL) And the last one which Joyce did was giving him two tickets for an opera through the driver of the taxi which she hired for him. He returned the envelope. Joyce was dejected so she handed the tix to her dad, wanting her dad to spend the tix with his friends. But when her dad opened the envelope, it's only one ticket lef! And at the back, it was written:

"Accompany me? Justin."

AWWWW sooo sweet right! Justin took the other one, left one for her. I know my smile crept onto my face at the moment i read it. "Accompany me." I love this phrase. So these two people were busy preparing to meet each other for the 'first' time; Justin as the saver while Joyce the one who wanted to thank him. But they bumped into each other in a grocery store and Justin's sister-in-law asked Joyce out for a dinner on behalf of Justin. While JOyce's friends said yes for Joyce too. So now, they have two places to go, opera, or dinner. And the stupid missing-out-on-each-other happened here lo! Joyce chose to go to the opera, thinking that Justin would consider that as important; Justin chose to go to the dinner, thinking that it's finally the chance to go out with JOyce. Justin actually chose both "JOyce". So, you see! Missed out on each other lo. Very sickening right... :( I felt like tearing the book reading that part. (sorry, rather emotional :p) Plus, Cecelia described it in a way that i really felt that you know! Which means, she is extremely an excellent writer! :D A high praise for Cecelia Ahern once again! Whee! Then, in the end, Justin found out who the real Joyce was, and who the real secret person who had been thanking him was - they were both Joyce! He phoned Joyce and asked for explanation. But Joyce's explanation about the déjà vu sounded too ridiculous for him that he scolded her very badly. Joyce knew about him cuz she had the memories of him, but Justin scolded her a stalker! (So bad!) One month later, they met up, and Justin sincerely apologized, they were together. HAPPY ENDING! :)

yeah. Job done. :)

Thanks, that's better :)

CRAZIER - Taylor Swift
I've never gone with the wind
Just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Til' you opened the door
And there's so much more
I'd never seen it before
I was tryin' to fly but I couldn't find wings
But you came along and changed everything

You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me Crazier Crazier Crazier

I watched from a distance as you
Made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe

You lift my my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier

Ohhhh

Baby you showed me what livin' is for
I don't wanna hide anymore
Oh Ohh

You lift my feet off the ground
You take me away
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier crazier crazier
Crazier Crazier

>> This songs makes me feel in love. ♥ We are going to use this song as our ballroom dance in the play. :) I'll be dancing too! :D

VANILLA TWILIGHT - Owl City
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

>> If a guy (or it should be the guy) sings this to me, i will melt!!! It's simply so sweeeeeeet! It's not just a typical 'i love you' song. It's coming from the heart! The heart sings it. Awww! ♥ ♥ ♥

FALLIN' FOR YOU - Colbie Cailet
I don’t know but
I think I maybe
Fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I
Know you better

I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you

As I’m standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It’s just you and me

I’m trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you

Oh I just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you

I can’t stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can’t hide it
I think I’m fallin’ for you (x2)

I’m fallin’ for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I’m fallin’ for you

>> I'm falling for you! :)

NO MORE HEROES - Westlife
When the waves are crashing down
Pulling you to sorrow
I will sail you back to shore
When there are no more heroes
Over under, near or far
I'll be right beside you
Standing here with open arms
When there are no more heroes

Chorus:
And through it all
And through it all
When you're tired and you stumble I will carry you
When starlight falls, my love will guide you home
You'll never be alone
When there are no more heroes
It was you who showed me how
Brought me back to glory
Through hopelessness and darkest days
It was breath you gave me

>> Nice nice! Thanks Thian for the song. Meaningful lyrics. :)

WHEN THERE WAS ME AND YOU - HSM
It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care

I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you

I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
And once upon a song

Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I can tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you

I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind

Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you

>> it's kinda a sad song. haha. But it speaks mind. :)

Haha, just for sharing. I always fall in love with songs cuz of the lyrics and the melody. :) There are more songs with meaningful lyrics. Perhaps, i will post them next time. Gotta run now. Going back earlier today. Wanna decorate my room. :)

A sign a sign a sign!

Baby you are DOWN x5

&%$#!*&^%#$%!!!! ARGHHHH!!! I'm in a foul mood. GRRR. I just typed a looooong message to a friend, and the stupid internet connection was so lousy that after i clicked "send", IT DIDN'T EVEN GO THROUGH! It took me more than 30 mins to type a super looong message to express alllllllll the things i want to say - but it just - GONE LIKE THAT! Feel like smacking/slamming/hitting something. URGH! I hate it, I just hate it when my long entry suddenly gone, and i didnt even have a copy of it. Arghhh! And it's impossible to retell retype everything! And you know what? This sickening incident reminds me of my JPA form which was not sent! Internet connection. Message. JPA form. *hit my head on the table*

*massaging temples*

you know what? i'm tired.
you know what? i can't.
you know what? i tried.
you know what? i am confused.
you know what? It's just too hard.
you know what? This is not an emo post (in case you would label it that way).

This is just a random post of some feelings' confessions

and some random thoughts floating in my mind.

"don't get too serious too soon."
"take it slow."
"It takes two to whisper."
"why let somebody else do it for you while you can do it yourself?"
"Don't let anything blindfold you from seeing happiness."
"You would never know your full potential until you are challenged."
"I am giving myself holidays, from things i wish to continue doing, but maybe not these few weeks."
"getting used to it."
"holidays."
"breaks."
"absence."
"a new realization."
"a view of sunrise at the horizon."
"fantasy."
"reality."
"bitter sweet"
"quit."
"not yet."
"it's like a puzzle. everything has a piece of it. you just gotta find them and put them together."
"duet? no."
"violin? yes."
"busy? Crazily insanely BUSY."
"frustration? very."
"crying? Oh please, i wish to. But just can't squeeze out any tears."
"get out. get lost."
"collapsing? still holding myself tight."
"It's been here all this while, you just gotta realize it."

"Baby you are down, down, down, down, down."

I am.

Give me a sign.

There's this something.

There's a song you keep listening over and over again, you know every single rhythm, each melody, but you just can't play with it along.

There's this beat you know exactly how to play. But you just can't hit the right beat at the right time.

And it's a symbol.

Sometimes you think that you are walking together in the same pace. Sometimes you feel that the footsteps are the same. But no. When you stopped, the other footsteps still continue on and you are left there. Or sometimes, the footsteps beside you are gone - and you are just...walking alone.

Sometimes you think that you are singing a duet, but in the end you realized you are the only one singing. The other voice...is just your echo.

Sometimes you think you understand. But in fact, you don't at all. What you are understanding is your own thinking. Or sometimes you don't even know what you are thinking.

Just when you think that you are ready with your things, you have got everything prepared, and you are ready to begin something - the wind changes direction, it's blowing a different direction. And you are confused, things got messed up - left is right and right is left - and you just don't know what to do.

Just when you think that you start seeing things, all of a sudden they all turn against you. And you realized - actually you haven't seen anything at all.

Sometimes you think when you are walking down the street, you are not alone. You smile, you talk, and you feel that there's someone listening to you, laughing at your jokes and making you laugh. But in the end you realized it's just the breeze all this while, that touches you softly, that laughs at your jokes, that tickles you and makes you giggle.

Sometimes you think you have solved the problem, you feel so happy and proud of yourself. But when you step back a little, you realized - it's only the small tiny part of a whole complicated thing that you have solved. You got it all wrong - you thought it's simple, it's just like that - but now you have engaged yourself in a complex situation. You should not have solved the problem at the first place, you find it for yourself.

Sometimes you think you are strong. In fact, just with a slight push, you fell so easily and just can't muster up the courage to stand up again.

I just hate it when i'm too happy, there's always a sadness following closely behind each extreme happiness. And in the end, the magician cruelly reveals his last card.

It was merely just a trick.

HX (25th January 2010)

CNY's footsteps

THREE MORE WEEKS! :) Did i count wrongly before? Cuz i think i typed three more weeks before. =S Anyways, a busy week just ended, another one is coming. :( It has been a long week, another longer week is coming. However, i'm gonna make it a fun week! :D From MOnday night onwards, i will start with korean drama: Cinderella Man. Whee! Finally found a friend who has the discs. Yeepiee~ My nights won't be boring. Then, every evening will be for sports. :)

Something about last week, i'm not gonna talk more on it, basically just three things. 1st, MR TAN is teaching us MORAL. We will so gonna be very morally right. ;) And hey! I like him! He''s got the style, he's cool, and he was a lawyer. I was totally amazed and impressed when he taught Moral, or when he talked, he would go, "According to Section XXX (one of the laws), it's said that ... " WHOOOOOAAAA! I am so deeply impressed! The first lesson was about a case on what land property. Well, i didn't know a thing about law but i found it super interesting. Cool. He's not fierce at all leh though he looks so strict and serious all the time. He actually said to us, "Don't look so sad! If not i would be sad too." AWWWWW! :)

The 2nd thing is, errrm, i...fell and injured myself. at home. When i told dad about it, dad joked, "Looks like accidents can happen at home. That's why the school doesn't allow you to come back." =.= ish! Haha. Well, i was really clumsy and careless la! Okay, this was how it happened. I was sleeping at home that noon, (i sneaked back home to do my assignments one of the days last week) and i knew Gracie was coming back soon. But i just dozed off cuz i was really tired. The next thing i remember when i woke up was a phone call and immediately i looked out at the gate, saw Gracie there. So without delaying any minute, i quickly rushed out to open the gate, scared she might have been waiting for a long time there. But i accidentally kicked the bed and i fell. Sadly, my body coordination and reflex were not 'awake' yet, so yeah, i fell, on the floor just like that. Knocked my shoulder and my pelvic bone. :( They hurt a lot! And now i am suspecting somehow i hurt my wrist too during the fall. It is so painful now. It hurts when i lift up a book. :(

3rd, I've always wanted to play a gymnastic ribbon and hey! My dream came trueeee! I played it last Thursday. It's so great. I felt myself looking wonderful and elegant playing and creating beautiful wave patterns using the ribbon. Happy happy! :D

Coming back home, simply means...yogurt drinks! :P

Mango yogurt.

Kiwi yogurt.

Afternoon, i was doing my report together with Gracie beside me. She was doing writing while kept complaining. LOL! Those days.

she was unhappy.

showing off her writing. It's an "A"!

Keep going and don't give up my little Graciee! ♥

I went out with daddy just now, sent bro to Spring then the both of us went to Boulevard. It has been quite some time since daddy and i went out together. :) Boulevard was soooo crowded with people. They have started to buy things and get ready for CNY. I went to Boulevard to collect my Sushi King card from John. He works there. lol!


After getting my sushi king card, i went to POPULAR to...buy one of the book in my list la of course! Things I Want My Daughters to Know. Woot! I haven't read all the books i bought yet. However, i will start reading them slowly. When i see my books on the racks in book store, i just gotta buy them 'cuz i hate it when i return to the bookstore the next time, and they are gone. So even though i am not reading them yet, i just wanna make sure i have them now! :p I am gonna have a collection of novels. :D Books simply make good companion.


Talked to Shi Mu today about the violin class, finally got the teacher's number. She is Jonah's piano teacher. I'm gonna give her a call soon. :D I'm determined to take up violin class! I know, i know, i am already soooo busy, but i still want to go for the class. Well, i just can't say no. I want to learn violin in a formal and proper way. :) Hopefully i could go for advance level ey, since i know the basic already. One thing that is good about this teacher is that she always brings her students to perform outside, at Spring or Boulevard. And she has a mini group of musicians (her students) with her, almost like an orchestra. Wheeee! This is exactly what i long for!!! To perform! To play in an orchestra. I don't care, i'm just gonna find out a time to slot the class in! Musics, no way i'm gonna say "no" to it! Well, who knows next time you guys are gonna see me performing! :) :) :)

Darling!!! :) When i'm good enough i can peal off the white stickers. :)

Besides that, another music thingy which makes me so excited! :D Mdm Angie wants us to put up a dramatization on William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. She wants a musical drama and a modernized Much Ado About Nothing. MUSICAL!! I'm going to be the pianist! Playing on the stage during the play! :) Can't wait you know!!! I might also be the one to write the drama. :) It's in May, still looooong.

Ooh, since it's somehow connected, i will just type this too, one go. Our institute is going to organize an exhibition sorta programme. A one day programme where teachers, parents and children from outside will come to visit us, and we'll show them how to teach creatively. Well, my group is in charge in Bulletin Board. We are gonna make crafts for teaching and learning (teaching tools), share the process and benefits of making those crafts. We have planned several things to do. My ideas. :D and Mdm Angie likes it. Apart from that, we are planning to have singing and learning session together with the children coming on that day. And i've found lots of children-sing-along songs to be sung on that day. I'm gonna play guitar and my group and I would be singing and dancing along with them. I'm planning to add in some hand-made percussion too. Oh goodness, it sounds great! Can't wait. It will be sometime in March. 20th March if i'm not mistaken. Gotta get started with the teaching aids soon.

Well, lots of activities are coming up. Big events, small events. Wuiyooo! Gonna be real busy!

Coming Wednesday: Amazing Race (morning)

Nothing Gold Can Stay

[19/01/2010] Today's class was really really tiring! My whole day was packed with activities. Wuiyo, i can't imagine how long could i stand this kinda schedule. Hmm, and today, i've come to a sudden realization that I'm actually nothing you know. I have a lot more to learn. :( Everything is way more than what it seems to be. Okay, i actually planned to sleep now, but thoughts are still running in my mind, jumping here and there, knocking on the wall, they want to be known! And somehow just got these very weird feelings. :S Oh well, grant their wish!

Okay, MONDAY, the debate. Nature Vs. Nurture. Actually Nurture can really win you know. However, they missed out lots of important and killing facts. Besides that, my team, our motion, was supported with solid examples. (The facts i found and i know! ^^) I proudly announce the winner, MY TEAM!!! Woot! NOt bad. ;D I'm happy. It was the first time me joining a debate. It's scary, really! 1st speaker: Faz; 2nd speaker: Agnes; 3rd speaker: Myli. :) Happy working with you all! OOh, and another thing, in the end, almost the whole class was attacking 'Nature'. =/ And after the debate Fiona said it's as if she had just attended a BIO lecture. Lol. I talked too much bio. :p I loveeee BIO, there's simply no way you can make me not to love it. Overall, it was indeed a valuable experience, and yeah, debate is fun!! :D

After that we had quiz on modals. Actually it was supposed to be in the afternoon! But, it's okay, doesn't make much difference, you learnt, then you know how to do. As easy as that. For me, it wasn't hard at all. Quite surprisingly, it was rather easy. Luckily i didn't spend too much time studying it. :P

Today, TUESDAY. Hmm, as i have mentioned the first thing in this post, it's PACKED! :( Okay let's see. (sorry my mind is not really working well now, and i don't really have the heart to type full sentences.) Today we had Mr Nyolet's class, i was quite upset cuz he still has not returned my essay yet. In fact, he has not even marked it yet. :( I waited patiently for two weeks to read the comments for my essay leh. :( Ah, gotta wait for another week then. Alright, during his lesson, we did a poem. A totally unfamiliar poem was given to us and we were asked to find metaphors, issues, themes, and other literary devices in groups.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to a day,
Nothing gold can stay.

Basically the whole poem tells us that nothing lasts forever, no beauty can be preserved, any living thing will finally die, precious things are always temporary. Then Mr Nyolet was asking what are the issues concerning this poem, i replied "seize every moments while you still have the time." softly. "What? What did you say just now?" he asked. "I think i heard something philosophy. Please say it again." I was a little surprised and happy with the word "philosophy". Ooh, of course it will sound philosophy! Come on, who was the one saying it? huh? huh? :P I said it aloud again and Danny asked for my sentence. Lol. Quoted by Agnes Lee Z.H. 19/02/2010.

Well, this poem reminded me how short can something very precious be. Just like a flower, it blooms and then withers. How short the beauty is! Eden, from the bible, it's like a promise land, you have everything wonderful inside. It's also referring to a happy land, a symbol of happiness, a beautiful garden. BUT. Eden sank to grief too. All the wonderful things are very precious, valuable, meaningful...temporary. Since we can't keep them, why not we appreciate them while we still have them? One day your strength will be lost, you will grow older, you will lose a lot of abilities. So since we are still young right now, why don't we seize every moments, to do something meaningful, to help a friend, to pray for someone, to love, to care and to do many wonderful things which you ought to do before you don't have the time anymore.

At night, was supposed to have dinner in Scotland. T.T CHEESY BAKED RICEEEE!!! :( But i chose to go CF instead of joining church buddies for a dinner and meeting. Aiyo. :( Didn't get to eat my CHEESY . BAKED . RICE . :( I'm sure they had loads of fun tonight. Well, i had a great night too. Again, the topic "TIME" surfaced in CF's sharing tonight. Mdm Chai asked, "What would you do if you only have ONE DAY left on Earth?" this question. this question.Thiiiiiis question. How would you answer? Take your time to really think over it. Actually i have answered this question before, and i remember i asked mun and others. All giving different answers. But at that time the question was if the world is coming to an end soon. BUt for this question, you only know that you are going to die the day before you die, and you only have ONE DAY, just one day to do the things you want, what would you do on that day?

For me, one day is just too short to do the things i want to do. 1st, I want to write letters and give lots of present out for my friends, people i care and love. But one day is definitely not enough for me to do those. Since i can't do that in one day, i will chose my 2nd plan. I would want to hold a big, a really big gathering at my house, or somewhere. I'll invite my family, relatives, all my friends and people i love and people who love me. I will also invite anyone who's interested and willing to go. That whole day, basically i just want to spend my last few hours with them, sing songs together, praise Lord, give thanks to everything we have all this while. Thank my family for giving me such a wonderful place called home. Thank them for being my shelter and refuge that always shield me from troubles. Thank them for their constant support, though they didn't always voice it out, but i know. :) Thank them for giving me love, showing me care, forgetting all my wrongs, bearing with me at home (well, sometimes i could get ticked off easily, very easily) thank them for their sacrifices, and thank them for them. I'm not the Agnes today without them. Of course, i would want to grab the chance to encourage them to continue to walk firmly and closely with God, tell them things i've learnt, things God has taught me through trials, tell them things i wanted to tell them long time ago but due to shyness, i kept them deep down inside my heart. But on that day, i want to let them know everything that is wonderful about them. Cuz they are wonderful. :) Thank you all, for always being there. (Okay, know what my eyes are watery now, feel like crying. haha) Like what mom always says, "It's a blessing form God that we all can become one family." And i love that sentence very much. :)

Next to friends, i would really want to thank all of them, for lending a helpful hand, understanding ears, and shoulders to cry on. Friends are siblings God forgot to give. They are wonderful people you meet out there, coming from different family background, having different types of blood, and different personalities. BUt somehow, they just turned the world special, and warm. :) I would apologize again for any bad things i've done which hurt them. Sometimes i just didnt know what i was doing. And that day, i still have to apologize again even though i have said sorry once upon a time ago.

For all the people who present on that day, i would share my testimonies and all the love and blessings that i have received from God. I have to let them know, because it's just wonderful, being a child of God. I would sing songs of praise to Him, i would glorify Him. Finally, perhaps at the end of the day, when i am ready and am still waiting for Father God to bring me, i will seek for His forgiveness again. Although i have done that before, at that moment, i just want to ask for His forgiveness again, for alllll the bad things i've done throughout my life. And, i want to sing my favourite song 生之颂 with my eyes closed, and sleep until God wakes me up.

Aah, i've planned everything! I didn't even know! LOL! And lastly, i hope, i wont be asking furiously or sadly "WHY?" "WHY ME?" on that day. :) Once in a while, it's good to ponder upon question like this, it will actually make you appreciate things you have. And it teaches you to see things in a different angle and a totally different perspective. Alright. That's enough sharing for today. My energy has really drained out. Need to recharge. I'm going to sleep the moment my head hits the pillow. lol. Tomorrow would be a loooong day to go. 630-730am jogging. 8-10am Softball. 1030-don't know what time: mysterious English Club meeting. 2-430pm English Development. Ah! Have to sleep now.
