profile

Hello, I do not like summer and I really want to move to a place where it's permanent winter all year round (Do not say Antarctica I am not a penguin). I'm studying the tedious year of secondary four where all joy eludes us till november, oh the joyous month of november. I also play the guitar and the drums&very minimal piano. I'm also a percussionist! This is a profile so that some people will be happy that I'm not just a heart in the sand, which I think is really pretty by the way. Thus, it is weird and disjointed and not very profilish but still! It serves the purpose. Haha happy now? :D

I really like this :)

StandChart on Sat-Sun!

Didn't meet Jocelyn in the end :( I'll meet you when I get back ok!

Marcus+Clara+Eugene came over in the afternoon,

then we met Maha+Jane+Shaz for late dinner at Marina Sq, hung out at Esplanade+Clarke Quay till 1am then went t report at the Padang!

The Kenyan runners really never fail t amaze me!

And there was this part where there were like 65635435345453 runners all at once and we were severly shorthanded and we were handling the 100plus hahaha all 6 of us just panicked and I rmb shouting omg I want t be an octopus nownownow and all of us collapsing into fits of laughter but we had t move our hands so fast it was just too much! After that we got so scared we built a sturdy fortress of cups before the crazy wave of 21k-ers came around and yay it didn't disappoint :)

Lunch afters, then they came back t my place again! Attempted t watch two movies but we all ko-ed throughout HAHA.

I'll just let the many pics do the talking :)

Gonna put up my Christmas tree, a little overdue I usually put it up in November!

Trade a thousand tomorrows just for yesterday.

And now I'll be flying off t Japan till the eighteenth!

I'm quite excited, bring on the sashimi mm mm!

I'll really miss everyone though, but nvm when I get back it's only a week more t Christmas :)

10 photos fr each trip, because every picture speaks a thousand words.

There's so many more pictures, every one holding a treasure trove of memories.

I must say we are really v big camwhores, for XP we have maybe 600 photos in total (fr three cams) and fr OCIP we have 1200 fr my cam alone and not forgetting the other two cams

But pictures always make me smile because 10 years down the road when our memories fade, pictures don't. They remind me of each and every precious moment, reminds me of when we smiled, when we laughed, when we loved. Live, love, laugh. And these are memories I never want t forget!

ODAC November XP:

Impossible is nothing.

Limits, like fears, is nothing but an illusion.

Through it all, through all the hardships, through all the tears, through all the sweat, through all the shivers, through all the conflicts, through all the decisions, through all the laughter and the strength t carry on,

We made it as a batch ♥

This was a story so beautiful, a story that we can carry with us throughout our entire lives, and now that story is complete.

1T03 OCIP:

We were strangers starting out on a journey.

Never dreaming what we had t go through.

Eternally grateful for my class, they never fail t brighten up my day.

Grateful for our clique (you 8 + the 3 who didn't go make me smile), grateful for the rest of our classmates because I feel so comfortable talking t everyone it's amazing really. And we didn't get into/cause any major trouble this time around, great big achievement woohoo!

So Today met Joshua+Eugene+Clara+Shaz at HollandV for lunch+haircut!

My haircut took an hour+++ omg hahha while Clara's took five min

And the two guys just sat there patiently and rotted while waiting for me

Heh I feel so bad for making them wait for so long! Thankyou :)

Then I met dear Serene at Serangoon Gardens for dinner!

And fyi, she killed a frog hahhaha it's really gross.

And I get so depressed everytime I think abt the way I looked a week ago when I returned fr XP and now where I've blown up like a balloon it's so gross I can't stand myself.

Bloody buffets.

And wow it's December, where did my November go t?!

But Christmas is coming, that's always sth t look forward t :)

On Sunday I spent 10hours writing notes for my batch since I couldn't be there for debrief.

I really put all my heart and soul into it, I'm glad they liked it :)

So November Expedition was a blast.

Perak+Johor+NegeriSembilan - Gunung Liang+Datuk+Panti.

Initially supposed t climb five but we weren't ready.

Too exhausted and too injured.

Liang was crazy, it rained super heavily and it was like what 2000m above sea level

So we all shook like crazy wow it was really an experience

And Liang showed me a whole new side t the guys, my heart really went out t them

They were my motivation t keep going and t stay cheerful and t ignore the cold.

There was also a landslide! Ground was super muddy and slippery.

Took us two full continuous days t go up and down!

We all cried on the summit because we've been through so much and finally we made it!

Datuk was our unfinished business, I'm glad we finally summitted!

But it was freakin hot like at least 34degrees, and plus we ran out of water and the nearest river was at the bottom?!

I got so dehydrated I couldn't focus and my hands started shaking

I'm so glad our batch made it through though, freakin proud of each and every one of them!

River water owns btw.

Panti was our funnest mountain so far, we literally ran down all the way!

The last night we all camped at Macs overnight, tanked till 6ish, slept for an hour then we all went home t KO.

Talked and laughed and gossiped and bitched and spam ate at Macs

I really love my batch I know no matter what happens we always got each other's back

Adversity brings us closer and through this XP, our whole batch got closer I'm so happy everytime I think about it I get this warm glowing feeling yay Batch12 all the way! I'm also really proud of the food department, fellow foodies ftw!

I also feel that this was the most tough XP ever we were so exhausted and injured in the end (I got like 4534534 cuts and bruises and three rotten toenails), oh ya and my shoe sole came out halfway I had t climb all three mountains with a shoe that has a mouth.

And the prev four days was OCIP w the class

Helped out at the orphanage, we painted three classrooms and cleaned up the whole place!

The eight of us hung out together all the way, the five guys and three girls

We really had a lot of fun I enjoyed myself so much!

After OCIP Me+Marcus+Eugene+Clara caught NewMoon+Dinner

The werewolves are so cute omg I feel like hugging them

Got back abt an hour ago and I'm dead beat.

Update more another time + pictures!

We climb and climb, and at the top we fly

Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time

XP is today, and I'm really quite excited

I don't know what t expect actually?

But I know no matter how tough or how shitty it gets or how little sleep we get (which will be vvvvvv little, I'm kind of worried about this actually) or how frickin cold it gets (which I'm worried abt too I will shiver like no one's business I think I'm the girl that's the most afraid of cold), it'd be awesome just going through it all w my batchmates :)

So here's t the next six days, here's t my 19 batchmates and the 7 who will be w us in spirit, here's t getting through this together!

12:50 AM

Had an Batch12 sleepover at my place on Sat!

Had a turnout of 17/27 which was pretty good considering it was a stayover :)

Heaps of fun, I love my batch lots esp seeing how far we've come fr being total strangers in Feb :)

Rockband/RavingRabbids (the rabbit still majorly annoys me btw) + Movie marathon + Swimming at 4am

We watched FinalDestination and the HillsHaveEyes and after that they decided t watch HSM -.-

They karaoked and since I'm not such a huge fan so me and a few guys went out t talk and missed HSM altogther hurhurhur I'm so glad

We were all so exhausted though we all just ko-ed the next day

Yay batch12 ftw ♥

Monday had morning run+trng

HAHA when I went everyone was like omg so tired fr yesterday

After trng Eleanor + HG came over, talked and talked + The last house on the left which was honestly not bad hahahahah last death just like Sylvia Plaith

Tuesday trng (I was late for one hour btw I only woke up when trng started and the whole batch plus my teacher waited for me for an hour. !!) + finally had the time t go for a family dinner. It was nice :) +BannerPainting!

Wednesday trng, went t EastCoast w Donna+HG+Eleanor+Amanda+MX+Phua t settle food stuff

And ate at this darling place called Everything w Fries, the food was honestly pretty good.

Then met Clara+Jane for dinner at town :)

Thursday Backpack trng at Sembawang/Marsiling, we trekked for five+hours with heavy backpacks and it rained really heavily and we were all shivering like no one's business but we sang so much and got really high, it was really fun. We also had our own little adventures on real steep slopes and ulu parts of Singapore :)

Long late lunch afters, then met Clara at Vivo, and she came over t stay afters :)

Friday trng then Sembawang w Eleanor+Amanda+HG t settle food stuff and dinner!

Oh and we also did 50 Grandstands within forty min, last time at the beginning of the year we took 2 and a half hours, wow I'm so proud of our batch, look at how far we've come :) :) And it also marked the last trng of the year. I rmb our first trng was the long run t MacRitchie and I rmb running in the heavy rain and sitting down and having our debrief afterwards and hearing how privileged we are and yes I think we really are, to have the chance t experience all this and t make wonderful, simply wonderful friends. Wow it's the last trng alr time passes so fast everytime I think of how the year has flown by I feel so nostalgic. Looking forward t the coming year+XP!

Today was HollandV+ArmyMarket+Queensway w Eugene+ZhiYong+Eliza+Eleanor+Clara!

+Settled food stuff at night I really do hope everything goes well :)

Wow XP is on Sunday which is tomorrow and I'm really beyond excited for it

Although I know it will be helluva tough but I know with my batchmates around, we'll all make it through together :) We will all make it through the five mountains stronger than before, that I'm absolutely sure of!

And on a side note, I really really miss my classmates although the last time I saw them was about a week ago. It feels so weird cos I used t see them everyday. Ohman miss them so much, but nvm Batam OCIP is coming up! :)

So XP fr tmr t Sat, one sleeping day+washing tents, then Batam fr Monday t Thur with the class!

Excited beyond words.
