LULL

see michelle i'm dedicating an entire blog post to you!!! thanks for waking up early to meet me for breakfast and laughing over my students' work with me! forgot to tell you to wash your hands after helping me mark the math WBs, cuz they're filthy.

 whether or not we're gonna be in the same hall, i'm just really glad we're so close by each other. we've had our differences but i know we love each other too much to let it ruin our friendship, and i really appreciate all the long convos (free calls to each other!!) and time we spend together doing silly fun things or just lepaking. and how you're always there for me (financially or otherwise HAHA) even though we're an east-west line apart.. but not for long!!! :D

LULL, looking forward to spending entire days with you again in sch.. i can't wait!! :)

DAY 3

its been 2 days since i got the news of my impending doom and i've sent out 1 SOS to my church people, discussed it personally with my parents and sister, complained to most of my colleagues esp those sitting near me, called LL numerous times to mope even though she was having her last 2 papers and now she's celebrating the end of exams. after reading all the encouraging SMSes and FB msges, listening to the support from everyone else other than those who determine my near future, and looking at the situation as objectively as possible... i'm feeling better la.

despite wanting to be incredibly unmotivated since i'm being 'rejected', i've been making effort to be as BLAMELESS as i humanly can. i guess it's really a rude awakening:/ and about making effort in class (where it is almost impossible for others to monitor), thankfully my conscience and compassion for the little monsters are pushing me thru.

right. time for this new leaf of a good girl to go to bed so i can be in sch EARLY;)

today was a fairytale

<3<3<3

finally reached home, then - 

i'm so glad we finally cleared things up!

you made my wonderful, bruised, fruitful day even better:)

i'm so nervous

my Physical Proficiency Test is exactly a week away and i'm far from being able to do a decent cartwheel or handstand. like seriously i'm gonna make a fool out of myself again:(

managed to wake at 8plus today and went for a slow jog cuz my right hamstring and butt's been aching since yings tried to drill me on the kicking technique for the cartwheel. i was starting to think it was a strain when the pain didn't go away after warming up/jogging/cooling down. but it suddenly got better after i stretched it out a few times, so yay!

i'm gonna ask amaryllis to help me hold my legs so i can practice my handstand. i'm considering doing that instead of a cartwheel cuz i can't seem to get the twist of the hands and body which is needed for handstand. hopefully i don't have to hold my upside down position too long:/

oh. and i don't think i'm staying in hall.

and we know it's never simple never easy

"it's the big stuff u don't wanna blog about"

i'm so angry!!!!

but it's giving way to slight guilt for raising my voice at you on the phone. i know you don't like being yelled at and i know i kept insisting on my viewpoint, but you know i'd only do that if it was really, really important!

sorry for shouting at you:(

i still love you LL <3

TIME FOR BAD...minton

that's me and michelle my LL <3

she came down all the way early in the morning to play badminton with me on wed before my work started, even tho she stays in NTU hall aka MALAYSIA.

not that i <3 badminton but that i TOTALLY SUCK. i failed my PE test cuz i failed badminton. BOO:(

no worries i learnt smth on wed. how to tie badminton net!! 

no worries we came up with a plan to get our jc friend aka my pri sch friend aka the VJC girl's badminton capt 2008 to help me improve!! YAYY. if she's free la. heh.

Chat 'Loving

Talking to Michelle on the phone now!!! YAY i've really missed her:) Wish i could meet up with her more often but we're almost a country apart (pasir ris to pioneer!) She's very funny, we're talking about her turning agnostic - that means she's undecided if there's a God. It's quite funny cuz her new lepak gang is a chinese/malay/indian group made up of (respectively) aethist/muslim/waanabe-agnostic. Michelle please remember to send me your bank account number so i can return you the money you transferred to me to tide me over the christmas season...

Went over to Vee's to discuss the girl's valentine's event but me and Glor and Vee ended up just talking about ministry stuff and members and our own personal stuff hahaha so fun!! In the decided that the event should be held in March, that's about all we discussed over the yummy fondue that Vee made :D It was a really nice long chat:)

Ok my contact lenses are drying up, gonna clean it so i can wear it to cycle to school tmr!! FIT

what i did on my day off

i donated blood yesterday!!!!! there's a needle-sized scab on my right arm (what do you call the underside of the elbow? elbow-pit?) to prove it and a purple bandage that i wore around town yesterday but my com's bluetooth isn't working so i can't upload the pictures SIGH. (and no cable too, my phone camera album is bursting cuz i can't upload any photos i've taken urgh!) Michelle and i actually made the trip down to Outram just to donate blood yesterday morning - after weeks of not having a common day off we finally managed to meet for an overdue LL date! (LL's just a term michelle and i use to refer to each other - go figure) Originally it was Zoe who asked me to go donate blood with her on tues morning when we were out with the serve people for dinner on mon at tamp1 (AGAIN), but last minute she couldn't make it, so it was just M and me. she'd been dying to donate blood since she'd been rejected 3 times previously hahahaha and i never had the opportunity to donate blood (always had training that same day, scared not enough blood to last me thru training haha).

SO we arrived at Outram Park MRT and we had a bite and a drink to help michelle put on a few grams to pass the weight requirement (have to be at least 45kg to donate) before we went into the blood donation place. okay i was like some idiot fumbling through the questionnaire and tests, not knowing where to go etc. M said by the time i finished filling up the mandotary form all the water she drank would've evaporated HAHA. aiyah i was being thorough, and couldn't remember if i'd gone overseas in the past 3 years (i concluded that i haven't, so sad right?). anyway, M failed the heamoglobin test (not enough iron in her blood) so she couldn't donate, leaving me to go thru the scary part of the ordeal myself! okay it wasn't really scary, the nurses and all were really nice, even though my finger's still bruised from where i was pricked for the heamoglobin test. the anesthetic jab feels like an ant bite (not the painful red ant kind) and the actual needle that's poked in for blood doesn't hurt, just feels slightly uncomfortable (duh, there's a needle in my arm dude!) but bearable la. (honestly after experiencing menses cramps anything is bearable.) the whole thing was over in 15 min, didn't know my blood was so dark red! i didn't feel woozy or anything, probably cuz they made me rest in the chair for another 10min before the kind nurse, this chinese auntie, carried off my bag of blood and wrapped me up - i asked for a purple bandage in the cutest voice i could muster. then she sent me off to the cafe for refreshment, and i took my muffin and milo and went out to find michelle. overall it was a good experience la, i guess it always feels good knowing you potentially saved a life. of course the experience of saving a soul is irreplaceable.

After the life saving deed we went to Plaza Sing to watch X-men origins Wolverine! but not before our tuesday half price waffle YAYYYY. And since i'm so broke M practically paid for all my expenses the whole day la, even my EZ link top up. AWWWW my best portable atm! LULL<3>
