Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
And a secret is taught, it's our favorite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it true
ahhh EVER EVER AFTER (:
HELLO FROM JAPAN! i'm in hokkaido now! and it just snowed an hour ago (: it was so pretty! it was my first time seeing snow fall so i started catching snowflakes with my tongue (:
haha before i talk about my experience thus far in japan, i shall talk a bit about wednesday before i left because i think i quite enjoyed it! once again, slept only like 5 hours cos had to pack for japan. then i went to school at 8 again for day 3 of dry run, and then like got my breakfast from shengwei (:
OKAY. i shall dedicate a whole paragraph as a shoutout to him, because SHENGWEI YOU ARE SUPER NICE. haha dont think you read though, but i shall declared how touched i am anyway :D thank you for your peanut butter condensed milk thick toast(s)! and for walking out at 2am to buy the peanut butter and staying up till three to make it for me. YOU ARE OFFICIALLY FORGIVEN. (: and the bread quite nice somemore, you can go set up a hongkong cafe too :D
haha yeah then after that val gave me a "bon voyage" gift (: haha THANKS DEARIE. and your smses are always super sweet and make me smile "how not to miss you" :D I MISS YOU TOOOOO. <333
and the day was quite fun la, spending time with my pseudo og and my perpetual og partner walter hahaha! and like talking to val, anna, carmen etc (: carmen! LET'S MEET FOR DINNER AT SIGLAP SOON :D hahaha (:
yeah and although i was super tired by storyline cos we danced and danced and danced until we all FINALLY learnt all the dances, but it was still really fun and HAHA i stepped on augie's foot twice i think HAHA while turning. stupid la make the girls turn and turn and turn until i got giddy HAHA.
yes and then before i left for japan i felt so nice and loved (:
haha. after storyline i went home took a nap, bathed and left for the airport haha! but also, i was so tired i just slept the entire flight, and then again during the domestic flight, and again in the bus before lunch. lunch was really yummy :D i think pok's curse might come true though, i think i'll put on at least 5 kg when i go back.
and then after lunch was shopping, but didnt buy much also la. and then slept somemore before dinner. which was this CRAB set course thing. which sounds cool, except i think i'm REALLY scared of crab now. we had crab salad, crab with mayo, crab miso soup, CRAB BRAIN oO, cold crab, crab sashimi, tempura crab, crab sushi, crab tofu etc. haha you get my point. when i'm free i'll make a photo collage of all the crab we ate haha.
yupp so now i'm sufficiently stuffed and i just drank starbucks, but because i slept so much in the planes and buses today i'm actually kind of awake. i would upload photos, just that i'm a bit lazy now ><
and luckily this hotel has free internet, so i get to talk on msn, instead of spending my time around boys who bully me and call me short. WAHLAU. i am not short okay ): then everytime they walk past me, one will say: SHORT. and the other will laugh at me for being suaned by an 11 year old ):
but yeah japan is quite exciting yay :D
Let’s move past the bad times
But before those memories fade
Let’s forgive but not forget
And learn from all the mistakes we made (:
okay, more india shots!
wednesday haha stupid went to farrer park only to see a sign being hammered into the field that says: NO TRAINING ALLOWED. so after a roundabout discussion we decided to head to school to do a bit of pt (and now my tailbone has a bruise from doing all those leg lifts ): ) before going for lunch with val karen and cheryl and the going back to school for storyline. and yippee it ended early so i went to vivo to shop more with mummy.
thursday was more storyline again haha but it ended at one, so jasper daryl and i went for lunch at carl's junior before meeting the class to watch december boys at vivo. which was quite a nice show, and i almost teared at the end. but hah daniel radclife is so hairy eeeee. hahaha! then left shortly after the movie to go for a very romantic dinner with.. NATTAY :D hahahhahaa! yeah the restaurant (can't rmb what it's called) had such a nice ambience, then we sat at the rooftop with nice lanterns and candles somemore, so when the sky turned dark then it became very pretty. but the food wasn't that good ): yeah then after that sat by the bay and talked while waiting for our food to digest haha before going to eat hokkaido ice cream and shopping :D
friday! more storyline haha then by like noon we got really sian haha and so after playing childhood games like aeiou and mr wolf, shu jean suggested that we play this game called husbands and wives (sounds so SDU right!) haha where everyone stands in a circle and like the guys will stand in front of the girls, and one girl will be husband-less then she has to try and snatch husbands by calling a guy's name. the the guy will try to run, but his wife can catch him if she touches him before he reaches the other girl. haha we had quite a lot of fun playing it, esp with like joan hahaha because guys can never run away from her HAHA. then after that met anna for lunch and walked around orchard for a while. haha ate haato which was yummyyyy (:
saturday! haha went back to school to learn sun dance and our own batch dance haha. and then after that waited in the canteen with val geri aj and sabrina for my mummy to pick me up. gosh almost died cos they were fumigating the stupid canteen Oo gave sabrina a lift to somewhere in the east and then went to parkway to check out the new borders (: and bought lots of books yay haven't done that in a long while, so just nice i tok advantage of the 20% discount at borders yay. haha and yay parkway is so cool now haha it is almost like a shopping mall from town haha. after that took bus home, and then fell asleep haha. ended up at manhatten fish market for dinner. haha seriously, when i received the sms that said: "fish market?" i think i really laughed out loud haha and felt quite dumb. because somehow we always just end up there hahaa. and oh val (: your sms really made me smile! like alot alot alot alot (: (: (: dunno why also, but it just did. haha i think you know which one right haha i can't type it out here cos of the content ><
hab and i at the lotus temple for the baha'i faith. pok and jiakang didnt want to take off their shoes and walk haha.
HAHA LOOK AT THE NEXT TWO PHOTOS AND SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
YES THE SECOND ONE HAS THE SNAKE! haha we paid the snake charmer to take photo with him and the snake right, then the wonderful poison ivy FORGOT TO INCLUDE THE SNAKE IN THE FIRST PHOTO. wahlau so have to take again haha.
getting our hands stamped with vegetabl dye at the pottery factory!
class photo with the nice vintage car (:
yay, sounds narcissistic but i like seeing photos on my blog haha (: will add more each day la when i feel like it.
and today was the first day that i didnt have to wake up early so i slept until the sun shone onto my butt (: and woke up at two! haha watched the family stone, read a bit before going out for dinner at the seafood restaurant near my house and to starbucks afterwards to satisfy my starbucks craving since india haha.
i think my holidays have been loads of fun so far, but i've been so busy going out and like spending time with friends i hardly have time to watch stuff, read and think. so today i got to do all three because it was the first time in a long while i spent a full day at home. (okay not really full since i woke up so late) but yeah.
don't get me wrong, im really very happy with the way my life is/has been so far and i'm really enjoying myself, just that i feel like i should be worrying more for the future. and like hearing about everyone getting internships (okay luckily i managed to squeeze in one after i come back from japan, but that means that i'l be interning on my birthday unless i can get leave ): ) and like making study plans i start to think that maybe i'm slacking too much. but i really don't think i'l be able to squeeze in any studytime this hols at all but i guess i'll just have to make it up next year. and like haha it's not the end of the year yet so it's a bit too early for end-of-year reflections, but i think this whole year has been quite eventful, both in a good and bad way. but either way i think i've learnt a lot, maybe changed a bit and grown up even more yupp. more about this some other time. but meanwhile, all i want to say is that i'm really thankful for all my friends who will/have been tolerating my PMS, who will cheer me up when i'm sad and never fail to make me smile, and whom i know will always be there for me (and i know these aren't just empty promises) whenever i need someone.
on a sidenote. i still need to meet with xiuqing, have a sleepover with melanie, eat yongtaufu with johncheo, claim my warm chocolate cake from shengwei, have a teamC outing, go cycling with 2A2B at pulau ubin (can't wait! i really miss all of you (: ), kbox with sangencao and 2A2B and maybe guides, go out with kaleni, claim my starbucks from nicole (i think i can safely say i won the bet already haha :D), go out with aj, and hahah TRAIN haha. doubt i can do everything but i'll try to squeeze haha.
okay this is really quite a long post! i shall go off and pack for hokkaido, considering how i'm leaving on wed night and mon-wed there's dry run from 8am-7pm everyday :X
I LOVE MANGO'S NEW SEASON RANGE!!!!!ZOMG

this one is just for laughs haha! it's supposed to be INDIA. but it hardly looks like it. and mr mac's super cute and alwyn just looks like he's trying to hold his pee haha!
hotels
haha considering the scary reviews i read the day before we left, the hotel experience wasmuch better than i expected! and the four star hotel was great! (oh how our standards have dropped -_-) haha and the first night they were celebrating diwali so they let of this small bomb thing in front of our faces for fun haha i think it's the closest i'll ever get to being bombed Oo
food
hmm haha er bad. haha when you're fed the same thing everyday for lunch and dinner it kind of sucks haha and we craved for anything not indian please. haha and even though i like indian food it really got damn sian
shopping!
in pok's words: "the two words i hate to hear in india are shopping and bazaars" and her "let's take a walk in the slumps again" HAHAHA yeah but only in india will i rather read/sleep in the bus than shop :P hahaaa and we just crave for american cultural imperialism haha gosh when we hit themalls we just walk into the familiar brands haha!

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.
I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
sunday was this afternoon bbq at my mum's friends place, (which was conveniently located oposite jiakang's condo) so after a while i got bored and went to find jiaks haha. then went down to central (clarke quay) to meet melanie the wonderful cousin who missed her tv show to come out with me (: and shopped for a while, and then went to sit by the river and talked.
monday! TRAINING. GOSH SUCKS LA. my thighs and my back are still aching from starjumps! i can't walk properly, climb stairs, sit/stand without squealing in pain ): then had lunch wih touchruggers and haha the table next to us decided to give us their free firehouse (: cos they must have liked our faces :D
and then went home, bathed, watched a bit more of the OC and then went out again to vivo to meet pok to have our crying session. more like only i cry HAHA. thank you darling <3333 hahaa i can't believe how silly we are sometimes though but <3 thank you for that like one hour!
haha and then met shengwei for dinner at bakerzin after that for my treat :D but in the end i was nice and paid a bit of my share, but the cakes and desserts look damn good la please! look at this! -points below! haha upon val's recommendation (:
the warm chocolate cake!!
and then after that woah not enough we decided to go to the hongkong cafe for their seventy cents peanut butter and condensed milk toast! so there goes all the training from the morning!
tuesday! haha gosh everyday damn busy la. got some flu vaccine jab at the doctors, then met pris and clara to go to the arcade, before they were supposed to go for the cambridge buffet thing and i was supposed to go home (because i was broke) haha but in the end convinced them that i was cooler than half the dudes there so we went for dinner at vilage and went shoppping (: but now my heel has a bruise from stepping on the screw while we played ddr HAHA. and while shopping we saw one of clara's fans HAHA but shopping is love <3
caramel banana crepe at vilage! and below shopping at ted bakers. haha of course we didnt buy anything haha
And today! met 2A2B <333333333333 haha had lunch at some steakhouse thing at cine, before trooping to kbox where we (or at least jiaks and i) belted out heartfelt renditions of emo songs HAHAHAAAAA. but as usual we had our eyecandy session ogling at 183. haha such a wonderful day today (: haha and when you're going through funny stuff haha all song lyrics seem to fit :/ haha jiaks SI BEN DAO YUE QIU :p
<3!>
and tmr lunch, manicure, shopping with nattay. haha (: who very nicely informed me that the last time we went out was 7months 7days ago, (that was last night), so as of today its 7months 8days HAHA. and then class gathering at night yippee.
DIE how to pack ):
and i shan't blog about my life so far either because it's been so busy it'll take too long and i want to finish watching the OC tonight.
ryan and marissa are the love, but the OC is very wise too (:
it would be a lot easier if i didn't ___________.
the sooner you realise that it'll never be the same again, the sooner you move on.
shit i really do need to find a new pms. i can't keep crying every month, like wth?
but today was just bad. and everything all jumbled up together is really damn painful.
i'm sorry for being such a whiny brat today and being so lethargic and lazy and whatever. thank you jolyn for all the hugs and pok and hab for carrying my bag for me and like letting me lean on you and walk ><
omg stop it yijun. wth.
okay tuesday went to sch to do techcheck, then went running which was nice because i needed time to myself to clear my thoughts, before meeting jess for lunch at delifrance (: after putting off our date for ages finally managed to fit time to go out. had a nice time catching up and talking but unfortunately i had to leave around 4 to meet val to buy stuff before touch halloween party (:
hahaaa damn funny la (: i couldn't find sparklers, but i couldn't go empty handed either, so THANKS TO POK'S BRILLIANT IDEA I DECIDED TO BUY A WATERMELON. hahahahahhaa
and then haha shit i have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how the hell you choose watermelons, so i chose the greenest one (because i thought the greener the outside, the redder and sweeter the inside) so i just grabbed one and ran to val who was already at the cashier.
WRONG DECISION. firstly it was so heavy then we had so many things to carry so damn annoying. and THEN it is round, so whenever we put it on the floor to rest IT KEEPS ROLLING ABOUT. and then like HAHAA THE BEST. when we cut it open at pris's house we found that it was TOO RIPE. best man lug all the way there then like that. haha but i managed to salvage enough bits to make everyone eat one piece of my EFFORT. (: haha and after everyone had their fill with laughing at me ):
and we watched honey! WHICH IS SUCH A NICE SHOW (: the litttle boy is freaking cuteeee (: and anyway we had quite a bit of fun, playing indian poker and HAHA KAREN'S DARE : D we are the best man :D
and then we went playground to sit on the swings (: and gross we found this couple making out on the top of the slide :/
and wednesday er BAKING (: haha pictures below later. damn load of fun as usual (: and the stuff turned out MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED HAHAA. but i guess with such sinful ingredients, how bad can it be.
thursday was pw prac, before watching rendition with pok (: we did it the bong way and sneaked at amk hub. and there were a grandtotal of SIX PEOPLE in the entire theatre gosh damn sad. but rendition is damn good (: and haha pok and i were quite happy also (: and i had my yummy snow ice (:
today= PW OVER. and then we went manhatten fish market for lunch haha everyone else's first time but not mine :D hahaa
BEFORE: LOOKS LIKE POO RIGHT >< :D HALLOWEEN COOKIES! LOOKS OWLS AND GHOSTS HAHAHA
AFTER WE BAKED FNISH: baby as the frog haha (i overslept and didnt go in the end ><) YAY I LOVE BAKING I LOVE US :D :D
i never intended to. aiyah whatever i dont want things to screw up again la.
