One Day At A Time
Sunday, January 31, 2010 @ 12:05 PM

I think I remember posting this awhile back. When I was younger, my mum wrote this for me and it's still up on my wall now. Everytime I feel like I need the faith to keep me going in bad times or when the world is self-destructing, I'll read it.

Whatever the goals you're pursuing, Rachel,
No matter how rugged the climb.
You're certain to get there
By trying your best

And taking one day a time.

"Forever" is hard to imagine.
"The Future" may seem far away.

But every new dawn
Brings a wonderful chance
To do what you can,
Day by Day



Last night I came home feeling incredibly sick - and after like 5 hours of sleep I woke up to a really high fever. I feel so much better now, but last night was an incredible torture of fitful dreams and an unspoken sort of loneliness. I don't think I have ever slept so much in a while though, so I guess that is a good thing.

AND AH OMGGGG MY LIFE IS OVER BECAUSE today is SHINee's fansign, and there is already a gazillion people there...AND I AM SICK AND UNABLE TO GO WHAT IS THIS!?!?!?!?!? Plus I'm not in the best of conditions to fight off screeching fangirls, so I'm giving it a miss. Oh please SHINee, come back for a proper concert next time or I won't forgive myself. :(:(:(:(:(

Today's already the last day of January. Just like that, the first month of the new year is almost officially over. May the coming months be awesome!



And happy birthday gramdma!!!! ^^

I often find myself disliking the people I ought to love and loving the people I ought to dislike. But it looks like that is not going to change anytime soon.

/Edit

Back to square 1.

Anyway, Jean and I finally caught Avatar on its last day screening, today!!!!!!!!





It was an amazing movie - but I am DEF still not sitting-through-long-movies material. Still, it would be interesting to have my own Avatar. Have you guys checked out how absolutely huge the creature is????

Sigh but Avatars kissing still freaks me out why oh why.

@ 12:56 AM

I honestly think...I need to stop being such a procastinator. Last semester, I was really prepared for war. Like all-out-prepared. I was always ready with assignments done at least a week before submission etc and now everything's the day before and it is only year 1 sem 2.2 ahhhhhhhh.

On a lighter note, sem 2.2 is coming to a fast close. ^^

I'm actually pretty excited for year 2, except for the fact after I have finally started learning to love my class we are all gonna be seperated but oh well that's life ain't it. Always full of these sort of things. I'm glad that Jean is gonna be accompanying me on my Broadcast route though. I still remember that on the second day of meeting, we already went shopping together. BFFS FOR LIFE LA.

These days, I'm taking things a lot easier. So maybe I can take a few more blows here and there, because ultimately I know I am gonna be ok. Had a good chat with Ger today (friends, boyfriends, ex boyfriends, studies, everything!), and I finally tasted Frolick for the first time - their lychee yoghurt is soooooooooooo good! With Koko Krunch! Sigh. Definitely going back soon. Plus, I am really happy Ger is doing well now. Happier! And she emits the happy vibes.

I am trying to take a more laidback approach to life now, people. And just go with the flow. How long can I keep this up! Permanently, I hope.

All righttttt J2 tomorrow then it's officially the end of my birthday week, and two weeks of intensity again oh well...

Goodnight all! (L)

Once again...My heartfelt Thank Yous

3 birthday cakes this year. The most I've ever had in a year, I reckon. Or is it? But still...

One from Lai Han + Steph who painfully baked one for me (Thank you so much, it was really yummy!).

Photobucket



One from my coursemates during the surprise party (It was AWESOME GUYS THANK YOU THANK YOU NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE!).

Photobucket

Not a picture of the cake but it arrived shortly after. My bouquet from Clarissa + Christel!!



And one more today from my short meeting with Elisa, Nitish & Yi Hui! Thank youuuuuuu guys!



I haven't had such an amazing birthday party since Sec 3 when all the prefects surprised me during campfire night. Thank you guys, for making my 18th more than I ever imagined it to be. I really expected a really tiny celebration, nothing major at all, but you guys wouldn't let it be that way. Plus I received a ton of presents from everybody, most I've had in all my birthdays, I'm positive!

Btw, I've never had a birthday where I've been serenaded by guitar + singing + a dance before! And it was magical. And Deanna gave me polaroids and everything.

So yes I want to say thank you to...

Firstly, my family. For showing me so much care and concern during this tough period. Mum for making sure I wake up to a yummy breakfast whenever she can manage it and dad for always texting me and asking how I am and where I am. And my awesome sister for being so uber supportive throughout my tough period, crying with me and texting me encouraging words though you are only in the next room. I love you!

To my secondary school friends, LaiHan, Chong Aik, Yi Hui, Steph, Elisa, Toh, Nitish, Reb Yap, etc etc (There's just too many to name).

To the fantastic coursemates, Jean, Stef, Eudora, Nava, Deanna, SL, Brenda, Bryan, Christel, Clar, Mich, Reb Sim... Hey you guys, I know you guys put in alot of effort for the surprise party and thank you sooooo much for the effort put in. We've only known each other for less than a year (Coming to 1!) but you guys have done an amazing amount of things for me. I really thank God for such awesome friends like you guys.

And to Kt, thank you for Sims 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am gonna play it till I die. Well, once my exams are over anyway.

Also, to everyone else who left well wishes on my phone, texts, everything! ^^ And to everyone who made this happen.



I am now 18 and ready to face the world with more optimism. Goodnight everyone!

Thank you, guys!
Monday, January 25, 2010 @ 12:20 AM

Today was really awesome. I swear. Thank you all, so so so much. ^^ ^^ ^^

I really felt like a princess today, thanks for making my one and only 18th birthday the best that it could ever be, I wouldn't trade you guys for anything in the world.

Aquarius women

I was at Nicole's blog and saw her latest post, which I found was really interesting. We're both Aquarius women!

Aquarius Women


If you are in love with a woman in this zodiac be prepared to be very happy or be very sorry. She is a very busy person with her own matters similar to a guy in this zodiac. She is able to live by herself without any guy in her life, a very strong person indeed.

Not because she does not have a dream guy, but if she can not find such person, so what. Because she thinks she can do anything that a man can do. She is a leader, a real confident type.

She likes to do things by herself, such as serving herself, opening the door herself. Because she thinks waiting for a helping hand is a waste of time, and she is not patient enough to wait around for that. If she starts to ask you out, do not think she wants to flirt with you, but because she thinks it is a waste of time to wait for you to be the one who asks.

She likes a cool guy who sometimes act like he is ignoring her, so he has a chance to show her his own confident. She like to guess her man’s reaction, but at the same time she likes to has many men wanting her. She is a daring type who could just do things differently from other people in her same society. She dares to fight for what she thinks belongs to her.

Even she acts confident, she mostly feels lonely and alone. If she breaks up with someone, she won’t show any emotion even if deep down inside it's pain and agony. Before long, she will come back to be the cheery and merry person again, because she looks at the world positively and has ‘Faith’ in the word ‘Love’.

She has more men friends than women friends, so do not be a jealous type if you date her. She could be slightly jealous, but she hates jealous guy. She loves ‘Freedom’ so before and after marriage, her freedom has to be the same. She likes you to trust her, even if she does not trust you anyhow.

She likes to be the one who is ‘Right’, so if you argue with her, let her win if it is not a big deal for you in that subject. She is a straight forward type, so if she does not love you anymore, she will just tell you straight to your face. Her love and relationship are always real, so if she say ‘It’s over’ be prepare to leave, she is not testing you.

She is not a vulnerable type, so do not have to worry about her, she will survive by herself. If she is with you when you get sick, she will certainly take care and look after you, even look after you mean ’small loan’. Do not keep secrets from her, she hates it and really can piss her badly. When she is sad, be understanding. When she is happy, be happy with her, she likes that.

You will not get bored with this type of girl. Someone who is close to her will know that deep down beneath that confident and cold hearted person, she is just as fragile as any woman. She is a fun and talkative person and she likes to tease you. Do not let she talk alone, if you do she will leave.

She has many type of jobs because she beliefs what a man can do, I can do. If you want her to work for you, forget it. When she is in love, she will just leave her job in the day time just to come to see you, but not for long she will go back to work seriously again. Prepare to live and love with a ‘Working Woman’ then you will be OK.

If she is mad, find a shelter for the ‘Hurricane’ is here! Her bad temper will last very shortly though. She is not a revenge type and will not think of ‘pay back’ time. Most people might think of her as ‘One of a guy’, but in fact she is a 100% woman.

She is easily hurt, so be nice with her. If she really loves you, then you are lucky because she is an honest, truthful and will never bore you. Understand that sometimes she will be over confident and sometimes like to have power or act bossy.

And something that made me excited yesterday.

SNSD 'OH!' Teaser

Tonight is finally the night of Lai Han's farewell party. Cannot express how much I am gonna miss her. Obviously, I hope everything is gonna go well!

See ya guys there!

SHINee is coming to town~~~

Do not step into The Zone
Sunday, January 17, 2010 @ 9:24 PM

As I am blogging right now my Persuasive Communication/Media Management project is still open and staring at me in the face. And I seriously feel so sleepy it is not funny, but I refuse to sleep because if I do it means a sleepless night tonight. Haven't been having them though, these days I feel so tired that the moment my hit hits the pillow it's an immediate zonkout fest.

Pulled myself out of bed early today after snoozing the alarm for 40 minutes (Can you imagine!) and then hopped on the 72 that Mich & Stef were on. We met Jean at Khatib and thankfully, thankfully, managed to get our shots done. We even popped by her place and I seriously have no idea why her dog, Lucky, is so unfriendly!!! Never seen such a fierce dog in my life. Aren't most dogs supposed to be hospitable to guests?

So anyway, glad I finally DO NOT have anymore individual assignments for photography - looking forward to our group one! Let's see what else is there left to do...French roleplay (Crazily happy to get Shazlyn and Christel together in a group + cultural test

Time sure flies, so many things have changed, some I really can't bear to miss. I have been forced to grow up, step out of my comfort zone and basically just accept whatever Life throws at me.



I don't want to think of what the future holds right now, I just want to pass each day knowing I am happy. I want to be happy.

Everyone's got a little something in them that makes them special. And I think it really showed that day!

Anyway, was wearing shorts underneath my dress and this resulted in a very ugly line in all my photos. HAHAHHA.

Still, had fun and I can't wait for school tomorrow - minus the fact that French is starting already sigh, stilllllllll ~

Only five hours of sleep before school. :( Still having moodswings like a crazy person. But that's normal to me. And I know not everyone is having a good time right now, just know that no matter what I'll be there for you ok? Everything is gonna be okay, I just know it.

Here to just post one picture before I hit the sack (Have to get up at a crazily early time for open house):

Jac and Sam gave me an early birthday present today, and although on the package it said to not open it till my birthday, they got freaked when they met me in TP today and I wanted to borrow and watch Breakfast at Tiffany's in the library!!! HAHAH we ended up watching Hairspray with Eudora and Stef, and I'm gonna finish watching the movie for the second time with my mum. And of course, Breakfast at Tiffany's that they gave me.

Along with a personalised CD called Fairytale, with awesome songs inside, and a book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips called Dream A Little Dream. They swear it is gonna be good and I can't wait to read it.

Best birthday present since Sec 3 when I got that surprise thing during camp. Love you guys!

This is why personalizing your gifts are the best ever people!!


Ok, goodnight ^^

I really should be attempting to draw my radio hot clock for MMP right now and then going to bed straight because I am seriously sleep deprived. If there was an owl award for nocturnal beings it should go to me. But it does have its benefits, like Wednesday was awesome because I got off the laptop at 5AM, tried sleeping but was distracted from texting Jac and being too hungry, then decided to go get breakfast, read The Notebook in the comfort of my parents' bed and then slept till noon. The Me time never felt better.

I swear to try doing this at least once a month.

First day of Open House today and I already feel kind of tired when I DID NOT EVEN DO ANYTHING AT ALL. Still, was fun to spend time with the girls who make my life in poly better. I love you all! Can't wait for our next shift on Friday.

Serious attempt to get Jean into Kpop.

Mitchy matchy in white shirts for our chatroom shift.


Decided to go shopping at Parkway Parade with Stef after we had a Pizza Hut lunch and I really enjoyed myself. Haven't looked so intently at clothes in a while - it's great! We bought cheap sandals we are gonna wear tomorrow ~



Anyway, went to Lai Han's place on Wednesday night after dinner with Taufiq at Kovan. It's great to be seeing him more often again, and I hope he isn't feeling TOO tired at work.



Photobucket

Finally passed him the small gift from Elisa I was supposed to give since Christmas!! Hahaha.




Photobucket

Elisa baked cookies for all of us, but his is in the shape of a cute gingerbread man and mine was like a lump!!! But eh bigger than his cookie man. And the cookies are seriously delicious! Better than Famous Amos. But my rough handling broke the hand and the arm heh.




Photobucket

My favourite food from Kobayashi, and the cheapest too. Makes me hungry looking at it now :(


Played Monopoly Deal with them and Wei Jun and he kept insisting he was gonna pwn us - so I said we would game at a set of 6 properties. In the end the whole game took like an hour and fifteen minutes!!

Photobucket

Something I am gonna miss after the 27th of January: Lai Han...and her house. Hahaha. Can we just go play Monopoly with Wei Jun when we're bored?




Was always trying. Just glad I never stopped right till the end.
