Fresh ideas

Hola!
Today was a superrr lepak day.
Went for a group discussion anoche organized by MESRAxMendaki/4PM and i'm pretty sure a few more organisations were involved!
It was my first time participating in a "proper" world cafe system and it was real cool getting to meet new people who were all really approachable and friendly!
(Aka I wished every youths in the world were like that life would be so much more interesting)
Felt like speed dating though hahaha cause we had to shift seats every 25 mins except it was 6 to a "table".
If only we got to interact more!
That's what the upcoming seminar is for probably but I have to give that a miss due to perkampungan- which I am excited about!
I think everyone else besides myself could feel the surge of positivity just being in the room!
And like Puan Rahayu said, youth's energies are indeed contagious.
One of the key takeaways I personally got from the discussion regarding SG's future was something said casually by Puan Rahayu, "It is the youthful naiveness and youthful candidness that helps to spur development."
And this is true!
Tied with courage, flexibilty, open mindedness and compassion, hey SG youths, we got hope lah huh.
Hahahah ok.

Tutoring today and then have to chiong the uni applications AND prepare for taklimat this saturday!
I feel like an extra reponsible human nowadays hahahahaha this shouldn't be enjoyable but it is (kinda not really)

Anyway I am 43% fluent!
That was a big jump lol.
Gotta keep hustling!
Talking about hustling, Wrestlemania is 4 days away and the only match i'll willingly watch is shane vs taker.
Biased much hahaha

Ok it's 2.08am and I want to not use my brain that much.
(A bit inevitable but we'll make it happen)
Me tengo que ir ahora.
Adeu ^^

Temporary troubles

Hello!
Somehow managed to read some of my old blogposts from last year and it's so weird to think that those events really happened; it was me who experienced all that and it is still me now who wouldn't have remembered half the things that happened had it not been for this blog.
So you know what, the idea to convert this blog into a more poetic one is dead and gone.
This will remain my diary, no matter how cringe worthy it gets it will always be here to remind me that I have grown as a person and that these memories will always matter.
Wonder how many posts away from 619th I am, because then it's time for a new blog!

Anyway personal struggle here I have no idea how everyone knows what to do (regarding uni applications) because I don't hahahaha.
People are submitting appraisals, using their O levels results and CCAs and i'm here like "errrr...."
Ok whatevs, for now i'll leave it all up to god.
Because no matter what, the things that are meant for me will eventually reach me.
In sha allah.
May Allah ease mine and everyone else's affairs!

Really want to go out but
1) Idk whether to go alone or ask anyone along
2) I have so many things to settle omg
3) ADULT FARE SUCKS and I will say it a thousand times if I have to

Ok la ok I am 35% now and so far the hardest to learn has been the past tenses.
But I got through that weeks ago so i'm looking forward to facing (hopefully) more manageable tasks ayy ;)
Adeu ^^

Good company

Hello!
Bahas semis went well!
Left home at 8.45am and left elephant behind because she wouldn't wake up hahahaha loser.
(she ended up going on her on and wasting money on grabcar)
After results were released, spent about 2 hours lunching with the bahas people bonding over asyraf's first rojak (hard to believe I know)
Went lepak at tampines library admiring khali's work of art before going off to the airport with khali and elephant.
Once we reached we HAD to krispy kreme.
When we met yana omg we freaked out and started yapping about the day's event, all while stealing her food because she was too busy talking hahahaha.
Sent painmat off and woosh reached home about 1.30am aka was dead tired.

Pretty busy week ahead in the buildup to taklimat and bahas finals and perkampungan and tutoring alongside the loserly uni applications.
And wrestlemania coming up which is so not exciting other than shane vs taker which is still incomprehendable in my eyes.
Meh.
Let's ace this sucka!

/edited/

Alhamdulillah, glad painmat and friends reached London safely!
Please have fun and remember to say hello to the phantom, tell him I am christine by nature hahahahahahaha
Adeu ^^

ps lol totally said bahas quarters instead of semis in yest post amaizing job

Not impressed

Hello!
Aiya the title is I was singing knock2 in my head then got those lyrics.
Hahaha i'm supposed to be watching MLM and then sleep because tomorrow will be a loooong and exciting day!
But I got a few things on my mind about a few old friends.
Just one of those nostalgic nights where you wonder how they are all doing.
I wonder if they did get over their problems eventually and if they were brave enough to let go of anchors that weighed them down.
I truly hope so.

It's bahas quarters tomorrow and FINALLY I managed to drag wana to follow (BUT SHE BETTER NOT BE LATE IN GETTING READY ok literally we were supposed to leave home at 1pm just now but she started bathing at 1, took 45 hours and the- I mean minutes, I lazy backspace- and then took another 20 mins to get ready what a loser)

Had a pretty chill day today, went karaoke and eighteen chefed (the waiters and waitresses there were sooo nice aiyo bless yall)
Then we lepaked at ecp because holidays.
Paddlepop has a newish ice-cream which was so nice like hello why do you just exist now

Im 31% fluent in spanish did I tell you that? Hahahaha masih ah.
As usual, no puedes dormir.
Will probably regret this tomorrow morning but the long bus ride to tampines is my allocated naptime.
I have been having weird dreams of people I don't even think about (you know they say (who is they, idk) dreams are like a reflection/summary of your thoughts) but these people hahahahaha why.
But entertaining ah, I woke up feeling like i've just watched a movie except i'm in it.
In one, I somehow managed to play the guitar (wow I wished hahahah) and i'm pretty sure it was an original song but for the life of me I can't recall the melody.
Oh no what if it was a potential masterpiece which was sent to me by magic and then it didn't get born just because I forgot.

Hahaha it's 2.13am and logic says I should slumber but my brain says I must wait for Rayza's video to be uploaded.
Talking about MLM, i've only watched LOL Bocey Joras and Bora.
LOL best but the ending too abrupt hahaha noone noticed the plot twist because of dato ac.
Bocey entahlah i'm always entertained by them but to say that they are good is an overstatement because normal la comedians, sometimes ideas comes free flow and sometimes it has to be forced out but I love bocey still.
Joras was ok I felt like sam's appraisal for them was too much? Was it the props or what because the punchlines weren't that impactful. Still entertaining, their combination has been pretty magical so far!
Bora was underwhelming tonight; the starting looked promising but then it became stagnant wasted laaaaa. And behold the case of recycled punchlines. The problem with this is that it depends on the kind of comedian you are; very obvious hit or miss so better to avoid.

Alamak comments kalah chief juri lawak hahahahaha but I, like the rest, are just awaiting to see the agents unleash their full potentials.
Still, thank you so much to each of you (dato ac included) for entertaining us tirelessly every friday night.
I truly appreciate it and it no longer feels like a competition.
Now that enjen is out, i'm actually already starting to worry about who to eliminate (at least who I would be most okay with being eliminated first)
For now it's bora but idk it might change!
Puteh has been in the bottom 3 a few times now but they have been performing quite well thus far!
Saywho should dwell on their strengths more to ensure themselves a safer spot.
All of them are really improving it's literally anyone's game this season.
Kinda refreshing because for the past two seasons at least it was so easy for everyone to bet on who was going to the finals hahhhaa.

Eh I am supposed to sleep!!!
Adeu!

Accomplished

Hello!
It's early tuesday morning and I am sleepyyyyy.
I just want to talk about the bahas weekend which went so well, alhamdulillah!
Though we had to wake up early both days, our energy remained high, the spirits weren't dampened and best of all we still managed to bond even while busy running around doing errands.

Big thank you to everyone who helped; including the staffs of MDIS, Pengerusis, Penjaga masas, Wakil sidangs, Penilais.

God bless!

Day 1- Saturday 12th March 2016
On the first day, I reached late and missed a stop hahahah that was something.
So when I finally did reach I was tasked to take care of F&B for a bit.
Simultaneously the wakil sidangs were asked to prepare their sidangs which includes shifting tables, pasting signages, arranging logistics, and just making sure everything was in place.
And I was there at the foyer waiting for students to come to my new canteen, slightly worried if my sidang was unprepared.
But lo and behold, the amazing team helped each other out and managed to prepare ALL 10 sidangs in 50 minutes which was darn impressive (the sidangs were not near to each other & there was only like 5 or 6 of them I think)
So while on duty, I got the honour of greeting and feeding (not literally) the contestants and interacting with them, and also meet some ex-debators which was great.
And it was nice seeing the lovely st gab's boys and alsagoff girls whom we met prior during bengkel bahas at their schools.
Also, meeting again my group 3 members from when we played games during taklimat & bengkel bahas.
It was cool and some of them called me cikgu.... hahahaha

And so the crazy day started with me taking care of sidang 8 (while multitasking to the max); witnessing Pasir ris crest sec VS East spring sec.
Pretty impressive for a first match and for (mostly) first timers!
Lunch happened (where zaharah and me went for iced coffee aiseh thank uuu) and preparation for round 2 began where once again, the team proved to be efficient with shabs doing her rounds and zaharah just proving herself to be so helpful and quick!
Round 2 saw me making a switch to sidang 6 for Anglo chinese VS St gabriel (ayy boys vs boys)
This was an interesting one as half of them were Indonesians (and you know I love hearing Indonesians talk) so I was treated to a mass of melodious argument hahahaha thank you.
Ended the day sitting hours in Macs with the gang before we each dragged ourselves homeeeee.

//thursday night//
Ha I was lazy to complete that post.
2nd day was no less fun!
In fact it was more fun as I got to take care of Sidang 1 and 2, and got to run around preparing the sidangs hahaha.
Best of all, all the sidangs had their own pengerusis which made our jobs much easier, AND we got to make new friends :')
We ended up having another ice cream party but at MDIS itself.
Ahh I miss saringan already!
But two days from now we'll be witnessing the quarters, which is no less exciting!

(Why am I using the phrase "no less" that makes no sense)

Anyway Sting is retiring.
(That was not a poem)
Carlito is rumoured to return.
Reyrey looks happy in his new "home" but i'm not complaining because like the meet and greet's special guest is reyrey which is... come onnnn, Sold!

Just got home from a 5 hours adventure at city square haha.
Hopped from pizza hut to a weird cafe to macs because we wanted to talk and not walk.
Anyway i'm planning to head to MI to visit MCS tomorrow but it's at 9 and it's at MI pffft.
See first la huh.
Aside from all that I need to catch up on my Spanish revision (dude gue serius oke hahah)
As of now I am 28% fluent hahahah this is exciting!
By the end of this month I will understand half of what reyrey says.
And for that I deserve more ice cream.
Adeu ^^

Better than none

Hello!
I am certified 25% fluent in Spanish guyzz hahahah.
But for now i'm focusing on understanding rather than using because the conjunctions are so weird like there are 300 words that means "the".
Anyway fulfilled a personal goal today, yay!

Busy weekend ahead with the start of Bahas competition!
Positive thoughts that all will go well and that we don't become undeads ehehehe.
Goodluck to all participating schools!
I hope they enjoy their matches.

Anyway omagosh remember when I posted a photo of the WWE superstars wearing jubahs and Kalisto was there and I was imagining reyrey wearing it
HE DIDDDDDDDD!
Hahahahahaha beyond the cuteness level of acceptance!
I freaked in when I saw it hahahaha aiyaiyai and the cutest part was his hashtags!

And omg it's the last day of operation for the good old Woodlands interchange I am so emo.
Amazing how a place we take for granted everyday holds so much precious memories........
Haiseh.
Hopefully this change is for the better (but it will never be the same whyyyyyyy)
Why does it feel so emotional I mean it's just a place for buses to sleep.
Ahh you don't understand.

Adeu

For the better

Hello!
So results day happened, and I felt/still feel serene.
There was a nonsensical amount of time trying to pay my library fines (oh dear it's 5 dollars, oh wait i'll just put it as 11 dollars, oh no no if we add them up it should be 16 dollars, you know what just pay 10, oh hold up it is 5 dollars)
Hah.
Not blaming the librarians at all they were doing their jobs hahhaah.
Anyway I can't help but notice how there is such a contrast between now and how sad I was about leaving christ church and how indebted I felt to the teachers there.
Still, a few teachers managed to capture my attention enough, namely Cikgu Siti, Ms Er, Cikgu Marni, Ms Choo, Ms Poh and even Cikgu Mardy, Cikgu Ila, Mr Vivek, Mr Yew, Mdm Lee, Mrs Siva.
I'd like to thank them for investing their all for the betterment of our future.
Some teachers like the first 4 I mentioned played a much deeper role and impacted me more impactfully (hahahaaaahahahahaahhhahahahha) even if they themselves don't know it.
Gracias, may all of your good deeds be repaid in the best ways possible.

Truly want to seek the MOB marker and question everything in his/her life to seek answers as to HOW I got such a grade but whatevs again.
Honestly dont know how I got those results I mean
1) I usually do okay in MOB
2) I came 20 mins late for GP paper 1
3) I spent the whole of year 1 not having any texts, and only began reading them 2 weeks before the A levels paper.
4) You yourself witnessed how my history revision went; none of the words were absorbed into my system.
Needless to say I am super thankful to be given a chance to say, "I'm applying for university."

For now I have 3 messages for 3 different stages of my life

1) Hi me as a child, one of your dreams might just come true if I don't mess anything up this moment on
(Actually you know what I might make a mess and learn from it)
(What kind of mess am I even talking about)
(Ok stop talking)

2) Aaaanyways hi me after O levels results, who was so bummed about her literature results and decided to choose MI to "redeem" herself and her "favourite" subject, YOU DID IT.
Without trying, weirdly.
Because literature in JC is just weird with teachers TELLING you what to write and me beginning to forget about the whole redemption thing because I never got a grade above D.

3) Me after GP paper, who mentioned that you may or may not regret the decision of doing a half assed essay on the major exam.
I sure did not regret it.
Because yolo, right?
(Hahahahaha annoying)

Ok lah anyway i'm annoyed at how mismatching people's schedules are literally when I was freer than a bird living in America, nobody and I mean NOBODY asked me out.
Now that i'm having events and meetings aplenty, people from every inch of the continent suddenly is free to have a tea party and a tyre flipping contest with me (oooooh this be from the rock and efron's instagram)
Ok my batt's unforgiving and my eyes are heavy I shall proceed to slumber soon.
Adeu!

ps im 17% fluent in spanish now omg

pps efron + rock = major dream come true????

Right time

Hello!
(Storytime ahead)
So I finally got to go to Adventure cove, and the best part?
I went with my girls like man last time we met was during our staycation last year (cue the tears)
But it really felt like no time has passed, except for the untold stories we got to catch up on heh heh.
Overall it was a fun place and a fun day!
Left home before 9am and started with breakfast together before walking into Sentosa.
It wasn't crowded, so queues were all super short and we of course took advantage and took riptide thrice.
Snorkelled with fishes where me and fatin got stuck for so long laughing and trying to move hahahah and yol disappeared into the abyss!
Did cliff jumps which was surprisingly scary (didnt think i'd feel nerves at all, now I feel bad laughing at mr bean hahahah) but the fun outweighs the nerves so we good!
Ended the day by running into the waves before we slept in the lazy river and finally got out.
Went for dinner at macs and talked about secondary school!
Reached home about 9.15pm and had an hour watching tv before I left home again to send mama to A&E at TTSH.

So from 10pm to 2am I was killing time siting at the waiting room while mama was inside waiting to finish the drips.
Watched tv, read a magazine and refreshed fb 5 times and then came a man in a wheelchair who was placed a few feet from me.
He was talking to himself and hurling vulgarities in every 4 words or so and at first I was ok with it because I thought he was like sick (please dont take any offence idk how else to put it haha...)
He got louder and more fluent in the language and I began tolerating it because still, I really thought he was sick.
Know that by this time, I was shagged from swimming, I had been standing for 2 hours and sitting for 2 hours, and my eyes were hurting from wearing specs so I was all around uncomfortable.
Times like this I thank god for my nocturnal self because imagine if I had felt sleepy above all that, I dont think i'd survive hahahaha.
The documentary I was watching on tv ended so there was nothing on tv, I finished reading the magazines and the last thing I wanted was to play my phone.
There was a guy sitting at my row who I guess was frustrated too but he geniusly dealt with it by playing music out loud.
Imagine this; someone talking loudly to himself and country music playing (at least the song was nice but I was just stumped as to why he would even think to do that)
So with these new additions to my internal struggles (hahah drama) and the fact that I was physically tired of sitting, I had to finally walk out because I cannot stand the vulgarities omG if there's a thing I cannot tahan it's people swearing too much because my ears and brain are tortured.

Once outside, I saw a man trying to talk to the guard about something, he seemed mad so I avoided looking at him and then went back inside to lepak again.
Few mins later the man from outside came and sat down near me and he asked if I was the one sitting nearby the guy in the wheelchair. (at the same time, I saw the wheelchair guy being pushed somewhere else)
Turns out this man was outside asking the guard if they could do something about the wheelchair guy because he and his drunk ass was causing a chaos.
He apologised for using me as one of the reasons to put the dude away (because im a girl and it's not nice at all to curse in front of a lady) and I thanked him for speaking up.
He is a 63 year old caucasian man who was waiting for his wife and like me, was alone and had hours to kill.
We talked about the randomest topics and I learnt about his family.
This uncle I was talking to belongs to a rare species of a man brought up to be chivalrous because you know, most "gentlemen" only behaves that way towards their loved ones, but this man, I tell you is a gem!
I immediately felt like I was talking to a father figure as he was sharing a lot of tips and life stories, and he was also a good listener.
We had a lot of common mindsets and agreed upon the same principals.
We ended up talking for a good almost 3 hours before his daughter in law told him that they should go home first and return later in the day.
We bid our goodbyes and swee, my mum called me telling me she's done!

Once he left I couldn't stop thanking Allah for granting a prayer I haven't even made, and sending me a company to help occupy the time and best of all distract me from the tiredness I felt.
Time flew by and Alhamdulillah mama was ok.
Reached home at almost 6am and after a few youtube videos I KOed and ended up waking up at 12.30pm.

I felt like this was an experience I will remember for life; how I somehow managed to not be a brat and give into my nagging brain trying to tell me I was tired, how I was given a companion even if it was for a few hours and not only that, how I learnt to be more open-minded, civil-minded and learnt a lot more life lessons.
I pray god gives everyone who might be facing sickness right now strength to pull through, and I hope you give them health.

Today was thankfully a day for me to relax before a hectic weekend.
Tomorrow will be the results and I just want to skip the nonsense of having to go to prison (I mean school), listen to them talk and wait one by one for the results but ugh.
I pray for the best not only for myself but for all collecting the results.
May you strengthen our hearts to accept what you have determined for us and may we remember to remember you in happiness and sadness.
Amin, amin.
Alright I want to eat la hello.
Adeu ^^

Hah

Hello!
Browsed through fb memories and apparently we got back our math A levels results on this date last year.
Felt super relieved in (err wait where did my vocab go I cant remember the word hahahaha) uh ok forget it.
It felt surreal but it was very sad to see people obsessing over these stupid letters on a piece of paper.
Oh, Singapore.
And so it marked my long awaited separation from the annoying as heck subject called Mothematics.
I'm happy till this day-
Oh wait i'm tutoring a p6 math...
I do hope I do a good job because if not all my years tolerating the fat textbooks filled with loserly numbers are so saddeningly wented.

Ay dios mio I should go now my English is becoming Shakespeare hahahahahhaha.
Must sleep soon, long day ahead.
I hope it won't be crowded wherever we're going, I mean it shouldn't be, it's Wednesday morning!
Bahas meeting is postponed to Friday and Saturday which means I can't confirm my presence yet.
Have a good day ahead!
Adeu ^^

Messiest blogspost ever

Hello!
My life is now like "ehhh im kinda sleepy, I guess i'll sleep early" and when I check the time it's 3.30am.
I'm officially a fully nocturnal creature yay...
My schedule is so jam packed I feel like such a grown up (eghhh) with errands and meetings and just so many weird things but at least I enjoy doing them!

And happy March!
Like 3 days to the release of A levels results lol but I still haven't settled the library fines.
You see, I reallllly love the books I borrowed (like I just know I will reread those books like 256000 times) so I tried to ask the librarians 3 times if I could buy the books but they kept saying no.
And then I asked what will happen if I lost the books and they said i'll just have to pay the price of the books.
Literally isn't that the same thing?!
Either way i'm paying to keep the books so where the heck is logic, apparently non-existant.
Ahh not surprising lah, i've said countless times how much the school sucks like nothing makes sense and 3 years of my life was wasted there hahahaha.
Like if I had a tape to playback my whole life so far i'll gladly skip/fast forward/edit out the years in school between 2013-2015 because it has been... meaningless.
Meh whatever i'm literally over it hahaha.

Having a long awaited north pole reunion on Weds oh ma gosh we literally meet once a year and it's weird to think that we used to spend like 5 days of a week together.
They owe me their life story, for real!

According to duolingo i'm now 15% fluent in Spanish so I shall add that to my resume.
(Mysterio I can soon understand all you're saying hahahahah)

And Johan won artis lawak meletop which was so well deserved but I thought Jep did pretty well with sepahtu reunion; at least enough to win that category but ehh not his luck!
He still has ABPBH to win ;)
If anyone is reading this and is bored and is a Malay speaker and is cool enough to understand Malaysian jokes I suggest you go check out Sepahtu reunion they are HILARIOUS.

Anyway everyone's alarms will start ringing soon so I shall stop it right now and go do something else.
Adeu ^^
