♥ Second chances
In life, there is always second chances, that's why there is always tomorrow.
I felt like I really have a couple of second chances recently. And second chances are what that will either help me make things right, or end things right. It better be the former.
Second chances give me hope. (:

♥ BLING BLING!
Oooh the crazy week just zoomed past. Last week of school next week yayy!! (: But did I mention that I still have 1 project due, 1 presentation and 1 quiz before school ends?! It's vegee-taa-ble horrigible. ):
I really really slacked through my holiday/ extended holidays. Have not done a SINGLE thing honestly, except my small little part for IT project. Omg really want to get that done and over with, but wtfreak it's 15% mind you. No joke eh. Upset, why is my life so pathetically sad?
On hindsight, yesterday was pretty happening because of Yuewen's BLING BLING 21st birthday party. (: I went over in my maxi skirt yayyyyyy. Second time I wore it out, and the more I wear it, the more I love it. :D I was kind of afraid to be overdressed but looking at the rest of DZ girls, actually I'm pretty normal whattt hehh. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUEWEN IN ADVANCE! :D Next week, there's still Melissa and Lixuan's celebrations to look forward to! (:
I really really cannot stand my long frizzy irritatingly explosive messy dry dull boring hair already. Seriously, last warning liao!! It's freaking warmmmmmmmmm and when I sweat, the hair sticks to my face and my pimples outbreak occur again. And the cycle begins all over again when the pimples subside. Last warning seriously. But don't worry, not gonna give anyone a shock of their hell by cutting 2/3 of my hair away all of a sudden. I will E.N.D.U.R.E. till the holidays. Patience is a virtue yeah. (:
Pretty hair! I wish my short hair will look that nice. I wish, but due to the nature of my boring dull frizzy curly whatever not hair, I really really doubt it can be. Nonetheless, worth a try. It will be totally totally totally different from my style currently. But I guess it's time for a change?!
Okay, that's about it. I need to do my comm funds seriously. It's freaking hell 30%.

Self-control/self-discipline doesn't go along well with me. ):
If this drags on, I am really gonna deactivate Facebook!
And it doesn't help that Yanlu has to comment on my FB status which makes me want to see his reply everytime I replied back. (: Hehhhh opps.
I cannot stop looking at the photos I took with my malay dance peeps, I miss them so much. (: And not to mention that I finally have a proper photo with TK, okay luh I admit I'm secretly very happy. (And I know he will read this someday.)
And I'm definitely going to cut my hair short. How short, that's the thing. Much as I love its length (it's at my waist level already!!) and its waves, but it's so not manageable, and once the wind blows, it's a disaster already. ):
Okay, I need to go back to study for FM. Byebye world.

♥ A little break.
Okay, as the title suggests, I'm taking a break. Difference: It's actually not a little break. It's a long break opps.
This week has been crazy with NJMD SYF. I felt like I was all involved again and I love how my juniors are ever so excited to see me (with Alison as exception LOLL and Nguyen Thanh Phong, why does he not want to take photo with me ): even though I forced him to and he smiled in the photo heheh). I miss you people, A LOT!
Today, I had Koi, ate stingray and whatever not for dinner, had Island Cremery and am still ultra full now. I know I will regret not spending the time on other things like my IT proj and studying, but but but... As I was on the 961 bus ride home, it suddenly dawned on me that I've been stuck in this mad rush and there's this strong force that keeps pushing me forward, and forward, and forward. And I haven't had the slightest time to catch up with people I really want to catch up with. At every bus stop, my mind went back to 2 years ago, and I remembered every single person that would come up the bus at every single stop, and at that moment, I wish they would. Even though I may not know them personally, even though I may not have many things in common with them.
I think we should all learn to have a more balanced life. RIGHT, AFTER I GET IT DIGITAL WORLD, ACC PRESENTATION, FM QUIZ, ACC QUIZ OUT OF MY MIND FIRST. By then, it's only 10 days left to exams?! Freak, I am so dead. I'm trying very very hard to abstain from Facebook and Twitter, and I've succeeded a teeny weeny bit. And yes, did I mention that I'm so gonna score in all the above four mentioned quizzes/presentations/projects? I have to, and I will.

♥ SYF 2011
A picture paints a thousand words. Basically, this summarises up my love for NJMD.
So much so that I actually cabbed down to NUS UCC to watch their awesome performance, and after that, cabbed back to NTU for FM lessons. It was so crazy, hahah but I did it anyway. On Tuesday, I went down to support and followed them back to NJ. All the memories came gushing back. I honestly didn't want to leave, even though I'm leaving for DZ meeting, which is yet another group of people I love to be with.
I don't think I know half the people in the group now, but that doesn't change the fact that I love NJMD. "Being together doesn't mean we can't be one." My favourite quote. (: Anyway, I went around hugging all those juniors even though I didn't know some of them too. Because ultimately, we share the same thing - our love for NJMD.
Couldn't emphasize further why NJMD is such an integral part of me. Anyway, I rushed back for FM but I couldn't really concentrate because before the results were released, I was thinking about the results. And during the break, I called Lissya and I happened to hear the 'live' announcement of the results over the phone.
It's been SO SO SO LONG since my heartbeat was that fast. Seriously!! The last time was probably SYF 2009, although it was made worse because I am the one performing and I was there at the time results were being announced. But that doesn't mean it made today's announcement of results any easier.
When I heard "Item no. 87, National Junior College: Gold with Honours" OMGGG I SERIOUSLY STARTED SHRIEKED INTO THE PHONE, WITH A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE BESIDE ME :/ Cannot cannot cannot contain my excitement.
Just one thing to say to my juniors: You made me proud! :D

♥ Dance!
The first thought I had after watching JDC yesterday was that I MISS DANCE!
Took us quite a while before we managed to form a nice 'MD' which stands for Malay Dance after we came back from SYF 2009. I miss SYF, all the memories gushing back again, especially when two days later, it's gonna be MD's SYF again! For those who didn't know, I was in NJC Malay Dance, the most awesome CCA and family you can ever find, seriously. I still don't get how people of different nationalities and different ethnicities can get together so harmoniously, but we just did. Despite graduating for close to 1.5 years already, there is a fact that will never change: My love for NJMD. <3
My first dance performance after I get into NJMD. Aristal 2008! Performed in two dances that event, this is our awesome basket dance! I remember struggling with the huge baskets but it was a really fun dance because the music is so cheeky, the dance is so cute and funny. I miss everyone!! (:
My second dance performance for that event, umbrella dance! The first kind of traditional graceful dance that was something not quite NJMD's style. Not easy to bring out that feminine side of us LOL, since all along, we were going along with the contemporary style. Definitely a venture out of our comfort zone, but also a dance that got many praises from the audience for our courage!
I am following closely to the timeline LOL. This was sometime in March 2009, MD camp! Definitely something etched in my mind till now. The EXCO spent a lot of time trying to plan this, and definitely it did help to bond the group together, and boost our morale right before our big event, SYF 2009! Heh our fright night was such a failure, at least for our station. I remember Saniah and I getting scared by Kurt instead!!
One of the usual dance trainings at Old PA @ Kallang. My favourite training place! Awesome seniors came back to visit. I love how we always have food ready for us whenever trainings end. The muffins and sandwiches that Mrs Tan bakes, and the curry puffs and breads and all the finger food that Ms Khoo and Mrs J bought. Gosh they spent a bomb aftertime there's a training. I miss how they showered us with love and concern always!! Best teachers-in-charge EVER!!
A performance for CNY 2009! Sarong dance, one of my favourite dance because it is so beautiful!!! Costumes and sarongs are damn pretty and the steps are damn awesome, so is the music played by Angklung! :D I still have the music in my phone and I still remember the steps. Once in a while, I still dance along with the music to reminisce a bit.
The same sarong dance, but performed at CCA carnival 2009. Okay terrible makeup this time round because we were only peforming in front of our booth. (Did we even put makeup that time?) It was fun though. I love how NJMD always managed to complete the dance despite space constraints.
CCA room cleanup before SYF 2009. Heh followed by plate painting sessions if I'm not wrong. I miss our SYF piece, the most awesome plate dance!! I think the whole group broke at least 50 plates while trying to master this dance. Dancing with plates on hand for at least 3-4mins, backrolling with it, rolling with it, throwing the plates and catching it again, all the stunts we do with the plates. It's a total breakthrough for us and definitely, the most challenging but the most rewarding dance I ever did. :D
Us senior girls with Kurt, hahah during our last performance at SISC opening before we stepped down. Life was so terrible after stepping down from dance!! I MISS YOU GIRLS!! COME BACK SOON SANIAH AND GWEN! AND MEET UP AFTER OUR EXAMS!! @ JOYCELYN, HUIWEI, HAZI, LISSYA!
The heart that we formed. One lovely family, during our IP team's SYF. :D
But life did not stop there after I graduated. Last year, I went back to perform for Aristal. Heh us before we wear our whole costume. ALISON, WHY ARE YOU SO CUTE! HAHAH I MISS YOU!
A pity Saniah, Hazi, Huiwei couldn't come back to dance too. But at least 4 senior girls could make it for the trainings, practices, and the real thing. Really apologetic yet glad that Ms Khoo and Abang Zairin were really patient with us despite our absence during the practices due to work. I have like only attended about 5 practices and off I am to stage to perform. Definitely one of my most jittery performances since we were so ill-prepared. By the way, I miss your idiotic face Gwen Hwarng!
The group photo with our grandjuniors. Such a big group then and I think it has expanded even further now. So looking forward to SYF 2011, 2 more days to IP team!!! ALL THE WAY NJMD! (:
Okay that was a long recap of my whole dance journey. Definitely not the end yet. This year, I couldn't join for Aristal 2011 because they are using the SYF pieces which I am unsure of, and clashes with exams timing etc. But that doesn't mean I won't be back for Aristal 2012! :D
Yes, linking back to JDC, I think I should join back dance again. I want to get back on stage again!
20110408
♥ This time, I will.
Just back home from a dinner with JC classmates as a mini celebration and sort of get-together thingy. So glad that despite everything, everyone is still more or less the same. (: I like this kind of familiar feeling.
Comm funds 30% written communications tomorrow. Seriously, I don't know what to do. Read what? o.o Arghhhhh, my mum is seriously getting pissed off with how relaxed I am and she has been irritated with how often I am out, which I haven't what.
But come to think of it, maybe I do. I haven't been focusing on my studies seriously. It's always DrumZout, outings, project meetings that's all. I mean projects are of course of high percentage too but still!! The finals are way more important.
As such, I have made up my mind to STOP BEING ON FACEBOOK ALL DAY LONG! Gosh and I am really serious about this now already. No more joke eh, another month. And this semester is made worse because I have 5 modules and I am not doing well in any and mygosh. 2nd FM quiz is coming up!! I cannot afford to do badly again.
CHASE ME OFFLINE IF YOU SEE ME ON FACEBOOK OKAY. THANK YOU, WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO YOU!!
And that means less blog updates too!
I CAN DO THIS!

你是否爱过 你爱他多过他爱你的人 你还记得吗？Anyway, my Facebook is down for maintenance or whatever crap. Just don't delete all my stuff away zzz. Now I can go study properly because Facebook is down. Much as I hate to say it, maybe Facebook should go for maintenance more. o.o
The weekends have been eventful, but nonetheless, dreadful. Birthday celebration for Shaun and Pinglin with the 4H people. See, I've been attending 4H gatherings more often nowadays! I think sometimes, even a simple meal like this is enough to demonstrate how strong friendships can be. Something like 5 years after graduation already and meetups are still considered frequent, with chalets and holiday trips together. I think this says a lot.
For Sunday, I've been in NTU since 10am to 1130pm for Impresario Finals 2011. Being the subcomm of Impresario, I honestly felt a bit guilty because I haven't exactly done much for Impresario but I'm nonetheless glad that it has been such a success! Was the makeup and media IC subcomm for the day, so while the competition starts at 7pm till 10plus pm I have nothing much to do. Stood with BX as the usher but my legs got tired LOL so at the interval, I decided to just sit down with Huiyi. First row was empty, supposedly reserved for us I guess, LOL so I just sat there and had a perfect view of everything. Aww YES 933 FM DJ Jiafa is damn cute!! Hehhh, finally got to see him in person. But haix, before I could snap a photo with him at the end of everything, he already went off. ):
Okay everything was fine until Lollipop F came out. Behind me was their group of fans. The screams were crazy seriously. It's loud and never-ending!! So anyway, I think I look like some attitude girl or something because I was sitting at the first row, with my arms folded, legs crossed because I am not their fan. Anyway, we have to be a little bit more professional afterall because we represent Impresario. But Huiyi was pretty excited too so I am like the odd one out. So I tried to blend in with the crowd behind and swayed to their music. As time passes, we get more worried lol because during their rehearsal earlier, I saw that they actually jumped down from the stage and went towards their fans. So hmm, the moment they came down, screams got even louder gosh and on top of that, we have to help block any fans who attempt to run out. Thank gawd they are all rather rational so nothing much happened.
Oh my favourite Original Composition (OC) is 我的错. Favourite line is 命运在手中，却消失人群中. Okay, hahhah maybe I should take part in OC next year. MAYBE. I NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN COMPOSE A TUNE FOR ME THANKYOU, I ONLY CAN WRITE THE LYRICS.
Whole thing ended so late and I missed my last train so had to cab home. ): With that, I would love to mention that kudos to my accounting group mates! :DDDDD They managed to finish up so much of the accounting project omgg I feel so guilty! :/ I will plan a XLB buffet soon okayyyy! (But not my treat luh of course.)

♥ 我在拼什么
Another crazy busy week ended. With acc project to rush, acc midterms to study for, comm funds 3min speech presentation, FM tutorial presentation, DrumZout meeting and a couple of tutorials to do.
This kind of crazy schedule has been going on for the past few weeks. And I'm barely surviving through each week. Did badly for FM quiz. ): But groupmates have done pretty well! That pretty much means that I've been slacking too much. Nevermind, catch up catch up! And and, even though accounting midterms results aren't out, I'm sure I did badly too. I didn't even expect my balance sheet to balance in the first place because I didn't even practise. 15% and 20% are no joke, but somehow they aren't enough to motivate me to study. Hopefully, the bad results are a good enough wake-up call.
Approximately 4-5 weeks left to the start of examinations. Once again, I hate how I always set high goals, have high expectations and yet do not work towards it. Success does not drop down from the sky. And knowledge does not flow into my head by gravity just because I put the file above my head and walk around like that. I really don't know what I'm working towards, and what is good enough to get me started on mugging. ):
Facebook is such a distraction. Maybe I should really de-activate my account. But that will mean I will have to do it to Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger too. But even if so, there's still Youtube and all the blogshops. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
DZ overnight cycling yesterday!! Looks fun, but a pity I can't go. ): I'd be a true blue dumbcyclist if I had gone. Hahah not too sure if it's a good thing :P If you don't know what is a dumbcyclist, please go and search for 'The Dumbcycle' on Facebook LOL. Free advertisement :P
Alright, basically I've nothing much to update. I have a really sad life now. Only thing to look forward to is SYF 2011! GO NJC MALAY DANCE :DDD Am upset that I won't be there to support JC team on Thursday but I'm definitely going to watch my IP team (even though I know practically none of them already)! Zapin! :D Have been rewatching the dance videos recently and replaying SYF 2009 music and Aristal 2010 music and my Sarong Dance music. I ought to pass down the sarong dance please, it's one of the most beautiful dance and dancing with the sarong is damn awesome! Of course I miss our plate dance and the rollings :P All the bruises on the shoulders and the knees and the hips. Gosh and 216 rolls on one Thursday morning just to perfect our rollings. And our backrolls too! I don't think I can do a backroll now. My flexibility is like crap now. My fitness too. I don't think I can finish our plate dance properly now. I can't turn for goodness sake, I can't jump that high already. I can't backroll and I think I will drop all my plates if I were to dance again.
Which brings me to my next point that my dad has mentioned not once, but TWICE, that I'm getting fat. What?!!?! I need my exercise soon haix. And my mum has stopped complaining that I ate too little, which means I'm eating too much now haix.
Took us quite a while before we managed to form a nice 'MD' which stands for Malay Dance after we came back from SYF 2009.
