We all make mistakes sometimes
We'll be leaving for Malaysia in a few hours time and theres just so much to pack. I really dont like packing for overseas trips. I hate it when i forget something and i almost always have a hard time deciding on what to bring. In fact, i was in such a bad mood while packing last night i threw all the black tops in.
Lou and I watched Enchanted on Tuesday.
I like movies with happy endings.
We took a trip down to Queensway after lunch because its exciting to visit parts of Singapore we don't frequent. I had a splendid time.
Visited Tan Tock Seng Hospital yesterday.The doctor says that i have a weak heart!! This is terrible im barely fifteen how can i have a weak heart :/ Anyway he said some stuff about how i should stop drinking so much water. Hmmm. Primary school health education book: 8 glasses of water a day? I dont even drink 8 glasses.
Out with Romeo today :)
So here we are:
Everything there is still as overpriced as i can remember. Or maybe i just dont see the point of spending so much money on fine dining. We had lunch at Pizza Hut anyway, makes much more sense.
I'll get down to proper work when im back from Class Chalet, which is right after the trip to Malaysia. I think i need to start taking things more seriously ):

Once in a while
Volunteer work at Singapore General Hospital went very well! We laughed, had fun sending different patient case sheets to the doctor's office, collecting X-Ray results and getting overexcited when a new case arrives. I like working with Gets, its been so long since sec 1. And most of all, I learnt plenty.
Physics tuition on Saturday was..? I laughed so much and when i looked around no one else was laughing it was really weird. Haha Mr Phang can make me feel so stupid sometimes but then again, that way i'll learn. I was thinking, maybe that's exactly the kind of thing i need.
Out with church people for dinner that night,
i think i need to learn how to eat alittle faster.
Abit of shopping at P.S this morning before having sushi and heading down to Singapore Indoor Stadium.
Magical (Mickey Mouse!) experience :)
We did kind of look out of place there i guess most of the audience were young kids and their parents who uh, looked terribly bored. I was so happy when the disney princesses appeared yay haha wth im so childish.
"Love keeps no record of wrong doings" - 1 Corinthians 13
Also mentioned in A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks, i chanced upon this verse at Toa Payoh this evening. It made me feel quite, awful about myself ):
Have decided to give myself a day off tomorrow, do some catching up on Sethummer times and give plans to watch Fred Claus with Xuans, Kim and Phebe a miss. My sister is getting herself into the stockmarket and she'll be taking her driving test next week. My parents suddenly seem really old haha.

All the places i could learn to fall in love
The November weather gives me a special feeling.
(:
There has been baking.
Alot, alot of baking.
I realize im not that disastrous in the kitchen
No fires or anything, so there bryan.
I couldnt have 'gotten lucky' that many times.
Decluttering was less work than i expected. I threw plenty of things away, locked some up. Letters, Postcards, Files, Worksheets, Books, Folders - organizing the study is almost like organizing my life. Finally getting rid of the clutter that has been accumulated for a long long time, its kinda feels as though a huge part of my life has finally fallen into place.
Caught Stardust on Tuesday, i thought it was pretty good.
Wednesday we made a trip to Tan Tock Seng hospital before Shopping till late at night. The lights at Orchard are, simply gorgeous. I love Christmas - every single thing about it, despite how commercialized it has become.
Today was good. Exhausting, but good. I love playing with kids, even though they force Dora the Explorer tattoos all over me. Volunteer work at SGH with Lou, Jolene and some other people tomorrow. Am kinda looking forward to it. I've been going alone most of the time then, now that im starting all over - its actually great to have people i know with me.
And I love Doraemon!! Hahahha. I want to watch the freaking movie. But it such a weird one i doubt anyone 'd want to go with me :/
My phone ran out of battery today, it ..feels quite good to be out of reach, heh.

Kiss the world with fingers crossed
"But love, I've come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other everyday" -Nicholas Sparks, The Wedding.Gets is one year older! Haha i texted yesterday, i remembered :)
Sabbles was telling me on Saturday that her birthday's approaching (as in the 2008 one) I was like, mine isn't even over yet - and she started laughing. Its not even funny okay!!!
):
My weekend started out with one Saturday morning of Choral Music.
Our performance at HC Auditorium was uh definitely not Gold with Honours standard ha ha, therefore Mr Meng's judgement actually meant quite alot to me. At least it proves that we're still, somewhere there. I also realise that only such workshops lead to improvement. Aye, human nature - Compete, Learn, Improve.
Xuans and I stayed home most of today and watched ALOT of OC.
My sister's totally acting like she doesn't have A's :/
I do still have flu, in fact it kinda worsened to a slight fever. But oh well, i refuse to spend my holiday lying in bed and feeling sorry for myself. I've got my scheldue done up, at least up till the end of next week. I feel strangely satisfied with myself :D
Hellooo, NEWWWYORKKKK.
Hiro Nakamura, my favourite Hero.
He really is the cutest.

Classifieds
I can't quite believe i survived the very very last day of school.
But then again today lasted forever (well, almost)
I think if we dont manage to get our tickets to Hong Kong, i will be quite upset/disappointed. I know i sound like a complete brat but - Sorry, i miss Disneyland! (haha okay now i really sound like a brat)
And falling ill just, sucks.

Skeptics and True believers
I think people who spend their entire lives pursuing happiness
are probably the ones having no idea what happiness is all about.
Its quite awful actually ):
Watching Inter-class Debate somehow reminded me that i've actually been kind of involved in the whole debating thing at school for the first-half of this year. Its a weird feeling.
Careers Education Workshop today. I had quite a good time, but i thought the whole thing was a complete waste of money if our school's paying. The coach suggested Psychology to me, i was like haha okay, maybe. (Somehow?) Singapore's Education System has always given me the impression that, well, if you don't get good grades you dont even get the chance to choose your future career. So what's the point of all these, really? We're not confused, we're just too busy trying to get to the point where we actually get the chance worry about all these.
Maybe all they wanted to say to us is just to 'Study Harder'
You know? As usual.
Lessons these days are completely pointless. Nobody's even paying attention in class!! I have almost three hours in between end of class to start of Choir tomorrow. Yah i suppose i can go walk three rounds around Ang Mo Kio (explore HDB flats, damn cool) and come back to school just in time for CCA ):

"We attempt to be accepting of others.
Sometimes we aren't, but at least we try.”
This just hit me like a carcrash.
- postsecret
Some things are better when left unsaid.
Encounter at Times on Saturday has caused me to develop a certain sense of fear towards, well bookstores in general. I swear when the guy approached and held out a piece of paper that said "Do you want to be my friend", my immediate reaction was to back off 2 metres away from him before even saying anything. Cynical? I would have thought so too, or even feeling guilty about the whole incident until he stalked me, twice around the mall.
You see, people are scary.
Service afterthat was excellent.
I got a miracle i didn't quite ask for, and that evening i realize that overcoming obstacles actually serve the purpose of strengthening my faith in God, in a way i didnt think would be possible.
Sunday was?
Emotional outbursts in public are just, completely embarrassing.
Spent the day at Starbucks trying to figure out Trigonometry,
i think im going to die early due to high caffeine intake.
I almost bought one of those Starbucks (Christmas!) mugs, but i managed to convince myself that those are nasty, overpriced things and by buying that seemingly harmless mug i would be supporting evil consumerism. (which is probably true, but i cant seem to bear that in mind when i go shopping)
I find how people expect all kinds of things from the Welfare drawer extremely amusing. Its only a drawer, not Doraemon's pocket for goodness' sake.

All lovely things will have an ending
I realize im no longer able to completely trust.
Tea, Tiffin & Poetry this evening.
The School invited Poets over for poetry appreciation and such.
Lou thinks its difficult to define a Poet.
I think, Poets are special people.
Waiting for my ride home at Avenue two,
I never thought i would appreciate late nights and citylights this much.
It was quite a ride home.

But while we're apartdon't give your heart to anyone
Lord, I offer my life to you
Everything I've been through
Use it for your glory
Lord I offer my days to you
Lifting my praise to you
As a pleasing sacrifice
Lord I offer you my life
This has got to be one of the weirdest blog templates i've ever done up.
On my way home i've decided to delete the old songs in my Ipod, or at least the ones that remind me of things that are no longer..worth reminiscing. I'll sync in new ones, i'll listen to those and soon know the melody and lyrics by heart. Things will start anew.
Lou, Clarissa and Cheryl were playing freaking PSP in school.
And they were talking about something like Football IQ.
For goodness sake!! Hahah I swear those three are unbelievable.
CCA was ?? We aren't even ready for the concert on 17 November, its worrying.
Report book: 'Steady and conscientious worker..Pleasant personality and cheerful disposition" Mmm. HAHAHA.

But here we are together and
that's all that matters in the end...
"Cristiano Ronaldo's goal with eight minutes remaining looked set to send the champions back to the top of the league.."My thoughts exactly.
):
Oh well, Arsenal was actually pretty good, but "you-should-have-seen-how-the-last-goal-got-in". Such a pity. And everyone was so cautious while playing, both teams ended up not performing up to their usual standard.
Football news aside,
I'll be joining the Worship Ministry!
I have no idea how Phebe managed to persuade us to join,
but i promised to try it out in the end.
Strange enough, im actually kinda excited about it.
More when i actually get down to learning everything properly.

" Just relax. Just trust.
You need to learn how to trust."
Chinese paper was..
?
Haha.
Lou and i decided to allow ourselves to go on a random bus adventure after the paper yesterday. By a random bus adventure, i mean we took any bus we saw at the interchange. I dont think it mattered then, where we were heading towards. Ice-cream at Farleigh Avenue, it felt as though we had all the time in the world.
I had someone to walk me home that evening, pure coincidence. Halloween this year left me strangely satisfied with the (fairly boring, haha) life that i lead.
We had Lit lesson this morning, To Kill a Mockingbird on screen was extremely influential. Yet again a reminder of how powerfully frightening discrimination can get, watching the film made me feel strongly about quite alot of things. The eerie shadows/sound effects upon Radley's appearance in the film was probably necessary, but not at all amusing ): I admire Atticus. He has the kind of courage that i lack.
Details of the book weren't actually strictly portrayed in the film, but i think it is really quite something that deserves to be played over and over again for a long, long time. Im not confident (or at least, not as confident as Mrs Tian) But in a way, im actually looking forward to working on the book next year.
I've got the tickets for 25th November.
I still can't believe my dad said yes.
Man Utd vs Arsenal this weekend.
Oh, oh, oh.
