Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people that treat you right and forget the ones that don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it would be easy, but they just promised it would be all worth it.

So............... I gotta admit that I've been neglecting my this, blogspot blog, for Tumblr! :O Why, it IS addictive somehow in it's own way, I don't quite know how to explain it either, haha. I guess only Tumblr users would understand what I mean ;) But yeah, I will still continue keeping this blog updated/alive of course..... just not so often as compared to last time cuz school's been a drag and has been keeping me rather busy lately but thank god the 2 week-holidays are coming! In fact, it starts this coming Thursday! v ^.^ v yipppeeeedoooo hahaha. Though I don't exactly have any plans planned out yet, I'm just really really thankful that I've got a short break to REST for awhile before school starts again with a straight 4-day week! It really IS tiring to be travelling to and fro from the east to the north side of singapore every single morning and evening. Did I mention that I've exams starting straight, right after school reopens again? -___- So much of a break huh. Sucks ballzzzzzzzzz. So it's kinda like a study break? And also, there's 2-3 days spread out in between the holidays where I gotta head back to school for some excursions/tours/lab sessions. How FUN..... I'd rather be in bed sleeping away like a pig. Or maybe even be a pig for a day, how does that sound? LOL, okay no bad idea. At least I'll have a few classmates whom are going as well, or else I'd die from no company/boredom and etc..... hahaha :) Okay nuff bout school stuffs and studies. My weekends was rather mmmm.... neutral-feelin.... I don't know. I didn't do much actually but stay home and spring clean the house and my room especially. I even rearranged some furnitures here and there and put up some pretty lights I had kept in my cupboard, waiting to use em but never did, haha. I like the end result actually so all the "hard work" in cleaning up felt worthwhile anyway though it was really tiring.. haha. Like c'mon, the last time I spring-cleaned the house was like Chinese New Year? Hahaha. Oh, last Friday night I signed up for Marine Parade's Flea Bazaar which is happening on the 26th of June! I saw the banner of it downstairs my house whilst walking home and immediately went to sign up for it, haha ^.^ There's gonna be so many people setting up the stalls since I saw so many tables being booked up while I was choosing my booth! I can't wait for it, another one LONG month to go~~~ haha. Ah, I'm so tired. I should turn in soon, it's hitting midnight and I gotta wake up at 6 in the morning tomorrow -_______- totally hating my alarm tone now. 3 more days of school left till the holidays. Hopefully I won't miss any class by absenting myself w/o a valid reason, which I always do : really gotta learn to kick that bad habit. Starting tonight, I need to forget what's unimportant, appreciate what still remains and look forward to what's coming next. Goodnight and have a good week ahead everyone!

After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul. And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. And you may or may not begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, looking and watching everything and everyone around you… and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. So you plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and that you really do have worth in you and with every goodbye, you learn. In life, there are things that we don’t want to happen but have to accept. Things we don’t want to know but have to learn, and people we can’t live without, but have to let go of. I don’t know why we all sometimes are scared to lose what we don’t even really have. As much as I don’t want to care, I just can’t help it.

Monday

Had a steamboat "reunion" dinner with all my girls: Alicia, Angela, Crystal, Deserie, Eunyse, Melissa, Nicole, Sandra, Szemin + also Bryane and Dom. It was a really good night seeing everyone (well almost -- Ariane has MIA-ed) since the very last time we all sat down and ate together, talking and laughing the night away and what not. Totally miss being in the same class as everyone during our KC days. Love ya'll! :-*

DIY Manicure

Tried out nail stickers for the first time of my life; flowers with my favourite colour pink!!! v ^.^ v
Actually, I was supposed to do a $5 express manicure over at far east plaza but the lady said they were fully booked for the night so I just settled for a new OPI nail polish + a set of nail stickers from Japan which cost me a total of $28++! I should seriously learn to control my spending -.- but nevertheless, I'm happy with my nails :) Hopefully they won't chip off so soon and last long.

I bought myself a new quilt cover + pillowcases today and also my favourite scent of candles from IKEA! :D Otw home the evening sky was a pretty tinge of pink, orange, purple and blue altogether, really pretty.

People always ask me how I deal with things so easily. The answer is I don’t. I’m just really good at hiding it. Well, life is too ironic to fully understand sometimes. Like how it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence and etc. Ah, life.

Saturday

Shaw Lido > ION Orchard > City Hall > Marina Square > ECP

My favourite part of the day was definitely the one spent at ECP chillin' at The Beach Hut bar & restaurant and having steamboat for dinner with my favourite people. People whom I've known since primary school? The main reason why we even planned this outing together was because Jon is going to be moving house to a "faraway" place next weekend and this was sorta like a "farewell" outing thing? Okay not really like that but yeah, since we'd have lesser time seeing or catching up with one another. I wish him all the best and would like to thank him for being a part of us and that he's always welcome-ed back to visit! :)

I wouldn't trade you for anything or anyone else in the world.

Run.run.run!

Ah...... I'm totally drained and exhausted I can't feel my legs or anything.... lol okay not that bad. I could just fall asleep right here right now, haha.
In the late afternoon, my dad's gf had the smartest last minute idea of going out for a jog over at east coast park. And the very first thing I said was, "OH, I'M SO TAKING THE BIKE I DON'T CARE!!!" Cause NO WAY was I gonna run in today's scorching hot sun! But in the end, I DID! >:( I had no choice. Dad can't run, he had a hip surgery just a few yrs ago and my sister obviously hates running, soooooo..... I have 3 bicycles at home; dad's, sister's and mine. Apparently my dad's one had some problems with the tyres, it couldn't get pumped so he had to ride mine and my sister rode mine and etc leaving me with absolutely no bike sooooo I had to RUN instead >:( sucks much. All in all I ran about 6km today? From my home to the lagoon food centre which was about 3km and walked/jogged back as well. Ohhhh I'm not gonna go running for a very long time~~~ Hahaha. Nevertheless, I had a great dinner :B

Ah. Still so much to do, so lil time! My PP scope's NOT done yet!!! Now why don't I feel the sense of urgency when it comes to important matters?! Sigh :(

So much to do, so little(not really) time

I'm gonna be having a rather long "weekend" (today till next wednesday; 14-18th).
Monday's A&P's home learning, Tuesday's Vesak day and Wednesday's my off-day. During this period of time, I really hope I'd be able to do/complete all of these:

My PP Scope
Finish up revising the first 3 weeks of school's work, *UTs are coming up soon*
Clearing my BURSTING wardrobe
Meet up with my favourite girls & guy(shut up)
Retail therapy. Okay this is not counted, but ya ^.^

I think that's about it.....

Black Friday

So...... yesterday was "Friday the 13th". Well, nothing much happened to me cept for falling ill and having to wait for (exceptionally) long hours to get to my destinations. Even while queueing up to buy my meals. Ah actually, I don't really believe in all these "Friday the 13th" superstitious stuffsssz cause I'm sure they're all just mere coincidentals or maybe I could just say it was my unlucky day? :\

Anyway, I had school as usual yesterday. Class was boring but at least I have wonderful classmates to make my day SO much better! Caught up with Wisly over lunch too at this somewhat new western "restaurant" @ the school's sports complex. I never knew there was anything to eat there since the last chinese restaurant(?) closed down, besides having vending machines filled with fat snacks/junk, hahaha.

We got dismissed from class at almost 5 o'clock. Usual dismissal time is around 4-4.15? By the time I got home it was about 7pm already.

P.S. I HATE TRAFFIC JAMS.

A random note

Things happen because we choose, to let them happen. Every now and then we fall apart. We get happy, we get sad. But most importantly, we learn.

Can't believe I even had the thought of quitting school and taking up a private dip. What was I thinking? I may be struggling but..... I still managed to pull through up till today, so why throw it all away and give up now right? I'll just treat this as another part of my life's "major" obstacle in which I have been challenged to and have to overcome. I could really use all the luck and motivation I could get :\ Hang in there, dear self.

My 300th post

Some people come into your life, and you know right away that they were meant to be there; to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbour, co-worker, longest friend, lover, or maybe even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some way.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts, and we are never ever the same. And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realised your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally. Not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself; it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. Happy Labour Day btw!
