my simple life

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

7 of us from the blk went to kukup.. it was a 2 day trip. just a short change in environment for the few of us and a getaway from hall/singapore..

upon reaching our chalets, the girls were all very excited with the bunk beds. haha. our room was quite small. but the room had 3 double decker beds.

we then went for lunch and visited the fishing village. they brought us to a nature reserve and a fishing farm. there were 4 different groups of people together with us on the trip. and it seems from the very start to the very end of the trip that we were always the last. last to finish our meals (every meal..), last to finish visiting the nature reserve and even last to wake up for breakfast and to leave the chalet. oops.

the meals were probably the only thing that made us really happy. haha. every meals we will have at least 7 to 8 dishes. and we had 5 meals for the one and a half day there. really super a lot of food.

back row: samson, joey, joy

conclusion of my trip, i played my first complete game of mahjong. and won RM0.40. haha.

and lastly.. some bonus pictures of joey and joy. haha..

day 1

day 2

spent christmas day and boxing day shopping. with lita and sis and also with mingyun and xinyi.. then the next 2 days was spent emo-ing in my room because of results. sigh. seems that the amount of effort that i put in this sem wasn't enough. which means that i have to put in extra effort for the coming sem. hope everything turns out fine.

interesting phrase that i found in fish and co's menu.

alice and cindy flew off on the day after i came back to sg. and i was left all alone in sg. boo. but i'm still glad that alice came over to sg and i managed to spend few days with her here. eunice and merry came by sg two days ago also. they stayed in my room for a night then went back the next day. it was a short trip for them. and i was busy with things. so didn't really get to spend time with them.

took some pictures at the new terminal 3 at changi airport when i sent cindy off that day. it's actually quite nice.

vincent, angela, alice, me, kingsean

met up with my cousins for dinner after caroling yesterday. although i've been in sg for so many years, it was still my first time having dinner with my 3 cousins in sg, i think. and this time we have another cousin who happen to be in sg to join us for dinner. just a very rare occasion.

so the past whole week i've been busy with carolling, floorball training and sheares production sets. hardly have time to rest. have to rush from one stuff to the other. super tiring. but now, carolling is over. and i have 9 day off from sets. suddenly have so much free time. dunno wat to do. wanna go out. but can't find ppl to go out with. ppl are either busy or not in sg. so i've been stuck in my room with my laptop as my sole entertainment. sad and lonely kinda lifestyle. i need some life.

jiayong and litheng dropped by my place yesterday afternoon. it was great talking to them. complaining about all the hectic uni life etc. glad to see them since they didnt make it for the gathering the night before.

went to the new mall in bukit tinggi to shop. nothing spectacular. just like the deco there. they had a disney theme. and i love the one with cinderella above.

took the night bus back to sg. reached at 5am in the morning. didn't really catch any sleep on the bus. and had to bunk with cindy cause i didn't have access to the blk. was surprised that i managed to wake up to go for tuition in the morning. and my cough worsened. sigh.

took a short nap after lunch. then went for haven home christmas party. was glad that all the mentors turned up. we did a short skid. i think we kinda screwed up, but it's okay lah. haha. just for fun wat.

spent my whole night reading this book. the book has a nice ending. it has a happy-ever-after ending. not like a typical nicholas sparks book where one of the main character will die or something. haha. it's been quite some time since i last read any of these happy-ever-after kinda story.

clockwise from top left: me, su san, jolene and shiyan

met up with former classmates from convent. talked about a lot of things that happened back in primary school and secondary school. things that were not known. haha. good old times back in an all girls' school. minus all the conflicts, backstabbing, bully cases, arguments etc etc. loads of them in between. nevertheless, these helped to strengthen friendships.

i remember jolene used to be my best friend back in primary school. she was always there to defend me and to take care of me when i was promoted from primary 3 to primary 5 cause i was the youngest in class, and i was often bullied. we quarreled in primary 6 and never talked to each other for more than 2 years. we only started to talk to each other in form 2 when suetlee joined our class. soon after that i left for sg and we weren't really in touch till recently. i'm still grateful for suetlee who helped to resolve the conflict. =) come to think of it, childish things that we do when we were in primary school. haha. now it would only be part of our memories, and something for us to talk about when we see each other, and something for us to laugh about.

and yups, starbucks is still a good hangout place.

thanks to daryl who took the extra effort to organize a class outing, we finally had our 2nd class 'chalet' after j1's. haha. it wasn't really a chalet. cause he booked a hotel room at siloso beach resort. super atas place. haha. but the place was super nice. i only joined them during dinner. played few rounds of basic mahjong. zicheng claimed that i haven't improved since the last chalet (i.e. 3years ago). blergh. took a lot of pictures! haha. wat's s41 without pictures. and yeanching played the guitar! haha. with 'guidance'.. and we spent the whole night playing some brainless drinking game.

yeanching playing the guitar! easy way to sound impressive for a newbie. haha!

everyone was trying to squeeze in the picture. haha.

gay mushroom me and ber fighting for the sink.

those people who conquer the bed after the brainless drinking game. left no space for yeanching. *sobz*

the few of us who were awake at 8am.

it was a nice outing. but i had to leave early the next morning for mentoring and to rush for the bus back to KL right after mentoring. or else i could've gotten more rest and not suffer so much the next few days.. basically the three nights spent in sg after exams, i barely had good sleep. fell sick right after i reached home. was down with quite bad fever and headache for a night. oops. exams are over after all. heh.

haha, was playing with alice's shades. i think i need one of these shades to cover up the eyebags.

joyce, val, me and cylysce went for mambo that night. it was fun!

edwin joined us for movie. watched the tattooist. =S but everyone still looked happy in the picture after the movie. hahahah. one of the very few pictures of the dumb dumb smiling so naturally..

went around town taking pictures of christmas deco! it's so pretty. i love christmas. =) it makes me happy.

met up with the indonesians after that. they happen to be in town too. continued taking pictures with christmas deco. haha.

i love this picture best! =D

we tried to arrange ourselves according to height. and i refused to be at the last position. =(

alice and cindy dropped by sheares for supper. then went over to kr to look for hokito and phya.

it's a good start of the hols! but i won't have so much free time after next week. my holiday schedule is rather packed. busy busy with hall activities. production sets, floorball, carolling.
