As 961 drove past this verdure of green trees, I manage to descry that statue on the Gabrielite school, the Statue of Mother Mary. How immaculate is she, the paragon of beauty, the epitome of pulchritude. And how much I long to be her, free from sin, filled with courage and valour no other woman can ever possess. How can I ever get rid of my gluttony, sloth, greed, envy, vanity, lack of self-discipline ?
As the bus continued down to this obscure road, the ride starts to get interminable. Occasionally, the bus would brush through the foliage of leaves on the road side, causing an annoying cacophony. Listening to the song playing in my ear, vehement and poignant feelings of nostalgia rushed to my mind. Those times, not too long ago, should have been treasured more. Looking back, I figured I did treasure them, but it didn't seem enough to make me satisfied as I reminisced.
I miss sn, miss the times where staunch friendship was the irrevocable bond that kept us alive, no fraudulence, no boisterous behaviour, everything was pretty much pristine and nothing could affect us. No guy could ever harry us, and we could just make a fool out of ourselves at any time. No one was ever tremulous or timorous, and we do all kinds of puerile deeds. Academic wise, the content of our subjects were not so deep, so one could just sleep through a lesson and pass a test. Back in sn, 4C was not a very hardworking class, yet we still pulled through. Right now, it's totally, completely different.
Perhaps this whole thing is just a trifling thought, emerged from desultory images flashing in my head as 961 kept on driving. Alas, it reached the interchange. I sauntered to the next bus berth, trying to shake off this ephemeral maelstrom of emotions that had occupied me during the long ride home.
My thoughts, just like my posts, are always a mess. I realise I am a failure in whatever I do.
(Oh I actually miss narrative & descriptive writing ! wtf, I'm failing gp ! )
Happy birthday Peter ! We love you and appreciate you, and we will continue to love hiphop :D
Intermezzo exhibits a soothing and peaceful romance, its really a relish of deft playing. Brahms is just, talented, really.

These friendships that I hold dear Because when you are near
I know I have nothing to fear
Lord, thank you for keeping with me during the hard times. With you, I have stayed strong.
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth Would care to know my name Would care to feel my hurt Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star Would choose to light the way For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin Would look on me with love and watch me rise again Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea Would call out through the rain And calm the storm in me
Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours
Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading Here today and gone tomorrow A wave tossed in the ocean Vapor in the wind Still You hear me when I'm calling Lord, You catch me when I'm falling And You've told me who I am I am Yours
I am Yours Whom shall I fear Whom shall I fear 'Cause I am Yours I am Yours

You're right, I am scornful and opprobrious, insensitive and infantile, disrespectful and immature. But why do I care about what you think ? I don't know, really. It's probably because I haven't been reviled in such a contemptuous manner in a long time, or it could be because, you mean that much to me ? I believe in keeping friendships ardent, yet through this incident I realise I haven't been being an understanding and sincere friend. I want to expunge all that happened, I want to get out of my impertinent self. I'm really sorry for my trumpery. It scared me so much to see you in an angry disposition. It was just so unprecedented. I really don't want to see you angry again, I want to see you vivacious all the time. I don't know why this is affecting me so much, causing me tears, bringing me hurt, making me extremely emo the whole day. I really hope this is one incident that is delible. I need affirmation that you have forgiven me.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down She won't turn around The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down She won't make a sound Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down

What do you get when your mother goes on a holiday ?
A bunch of crazy teens :D
The first picture is just Kenneth playing with my camera. We were bored I guess. Anyway I want to hang out with my dear churchies more often ! I never fail to enjoy drowning ourselves in maniacal and irrational laughter .
STOP AND STARE. It has a beautiful and catchy tune. "The title reminds me of an accident" quotes dot. (?!) haha I think it somehow does. And Bel Dot and I were randomly singing this song, so I shall play it here.
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years Steady hands, just take the wheel... And every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can u see what I see
They're tryin to come back, all my senses push Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could... Steady feet, don't fail me now Gonna run till you can't walk But something pulls my focus out And I'm standing down...
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, you don't need
What u need, what u need...
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be Oh, do u see what I see...

Happy (belated) birthday Charles ! I know you're young at heart, stay youthful !
So I've just sent my mother off at Changi. She'll be gone for one week, and you know what that means, FREEEEEEDOOOOOMMMMMMM :D This week is going to be a late night week, hurray :] Anyway my brother and I were shopping at Candy Empire in terminal 3. We had a late night dinner cum snack, which is probably going to exacerbate my dieting plan but, I don't think I care !
It kinda costed a bomb for just a few snacks, but I guess its worth its value :] Candy Empire ftw !

I realise, I can't speak. I'm terrible at making my points clear, my words are incoherent, incomprehensible, illogical, nonsensical and I am insensitive. Not thinking before speaking clearly applies to me. And, my thoughts are always in a mess. Gosh. Why did I even try ? Oh well. Still, I should believe in my capabilities and do my best.
I'm starting to pay attention during lectures (CLAPS HANDS) like today during econs lecture I was paying full attention ! However, I have been sleeping during the previous lectures so it was hard to catch up on the syllabus, plus I was occasionally stunned because I have never heard or seen some of the terms used before.
Did I mention how much I love the danceworks items ? Well, I LOVE THEM, both hiphop and contemp ! Here's the music for the hiphop routine, it's so niceeeeeeeeee :]

"Then come the lights shining on you from above. You are a performer. You forget all you learned, the process of technique, the fear, the pain, you even forget who you are you become one with the music, the lights, indeed one with the dance." ~Shirley Maclaine
because tonight I'm so inspired I feel the beat it takes me higher to break free is my desire

I swear, my life at this point is nothing but dance. And of course God: he is my number 1, my constant sunshine.
Not that I mind having alot of dance pracs, in fact, I'm kind of enjoying it. I never regretted joining dance, because it is something I love to do. I can see myself being a performer on stage. This passion for the arts keep me going, though I'm kind of bereft of time to do other things, so I'm temporarily giving up on schoolwork.
So anyway, I've decided, I need to increase my maturity of thought. I want to be able to think at a much deeper level, to confer intellectually, to be able to aver my points. I want to step out of my callow self and venture into intelligent conjectures, logical reasonings and vehement feelings. Today I've learnt that it is crucial to have a broad perception of things rather than a narrow mindset. Yes, it may sound like something you'd hear from some sickening gp lecturer, but no, I'm going to say it isn't that simple at all. I'm always thinking, well yes, I've always looking at things from different perspectives, but am I really doing so ? Seeing a friend weary might indicate more than just one late night and pmsing. Given a task, there are many ways to tackle it, the specific way and the general. Who decides ? Why this decision ? How to complete ? So many prospects to attempt a simple instruction, what more the influential decisions in my life ?
Thinking is important, it helps me connect my thoughts with my feelings and helps me communicate effectively. Yes, I'm going to learn to be a good thinker, good reader and good speaker.
Even our name will be forgotten in time, and no one will recall our deeds So our life will pass away like the traces of a cloud and will be dispersed like a mist pursued by the sun's rays and overpowered by its heat. For our lifetime is the passing of a shadow and our dying cannot be deferred because it is fixed with a seal; and no one returns.

I think I've made some terrible decisions, but it's too late to look back, so I will just have to change my life and live with it.
Went out with my dear western dancers ! Our main purpose was to get a western dance shirt. I'm seriously looking forward to the shirt, how exciting :D WESTERN DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE !
I finally got back my phone (thank you God). Unfortunately for me, my mother is NOT a tractable person, I have to exchange my msn life for my phone. I can't go online with her knowing now ! Goodness, there goes my cyber life. Sometimes I really can't understand the parental jargon. At least I can camwhore with my phone and that's a plus point :]
There's a physics test tomorrow, I can just be prepared to fail, seriously, I should start reading my notes. Because I ain't as smart as those who can be nonchalant during lectures and tutorials yet score so well during tests and exams. Such inequity.
Wisdom 2: 1 - 3
"Brief and troublous is our lifetime; neither is there any remedy for man's dying, nor is anyone known to have come back from the nether world. For haphazard were we born, and hereafter we shall be as though we had not been; Because the breath in our nostrils is a smoke and reason is a spark at the beating of our hearts, And when this is quenched, our body will be ashes and our spirit will be poured abroad like unresisting air."

I am so peeved. For numerous factors, I can't be bothered to enumerate them.
But mainly, for one, MY MUM ISN'T GIVING ME BACK MY PHONE. And she now doesn't allow me to talk on msn. She's seriously bent on making my life miserable.
Another main reason would be all the proposals / powerpoints I have to do !
1. Proposal for sec 2 barbecue 2. Proposal for PI 3. Proposal for HT camp activity 4. Proposal for an upcoming event for the sec 1s/ 2s 5. Reflection slides for mass 6. Chemistry VA powerpoint 7. Etiquette Powerpoint
Plus dance commitments and the tonnes of homework just piling up.
I miss the good old days.
I'm not complaining, I just pray that God will help me in accomplishing all of these. For nothing is impossible with Him.
Wisdom 1: 1 - 4 Exhortation to Justice, the Key to Life Love justice, you who judge the earth;think of the Lord in goodness,and seek him in integrity of heart;Because he is found by those who test him not,and he manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him.For perverse counsels separate a man from God,And his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;Because into a soul that plots evil wisdoms enters not,nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin.

I MISS
I LOVE
I need to do more reflections, or I'm going to turn into an unholy and malevolent terror. Then again, ain't I already one ? But, I think the recent string of events compelled me to find time to reflect and pray more.
Nothing really laudable to blog about today, so I shall just post some pictures for updates :]
we're shameful of our faces, which aren't big by the way !
Happy birthday michelle !
aha, I like this picture. We took it at 2 am, in our bedroom. Kind of miss the camp, really, all the fun and nonsense we do. And macs at 2am was wonderful too :]
Tomorrow's the student council elections and campaign, a slack day to make up for the terrible and hectic schedule we have. Vote for sn girls ! yayyy. haha, still, all the best to all the nominees :D
Oh, and vote for Daniel. haha. For his flexibility.
The path that I'm walking I must go alone I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending do they And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay I hope you know That this has nothing to do with you It's personal myself and I We got some straightening out to do And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket But I've gotta get a move on with my life It's time to be a big girl now And big girls don't cry
