hello(:

I'm bored. No motivation to do hw..And i'm still quite frustrated with Netball Mandy. I don't know why I just.. Ugh. I feel a need to talk to Cherie(: hahaha but then she'll ask me to ask Someone Else.. and i know i should. But I've been so distracted lately and lazy too:P gahh.

ooh you know what! today I had my first 'band' prac(: My church wants the 'younger generation' to take over, so their preparing the teens. haha there's only 4 teens but one is already dancing so she cant play instruments at the same time.. At first i tried out the guitar. Gosh I've lost the touch with it already! haha but at least i still know the chords and stuff. Then I tried the keyboard. (: I skipped the base since i've no idea how to play that.

I just wasted my whole day away.. better go do smth now. seeya(:

Monday, June 23, 2008

hey whats up guys!! i've decided i'll try and make this blog more lively/happening/cool/happy after those depressing SRC related posts. XD haha.

so i'll talk about my first day of school today!

i got a huge shock when i went for assembly today. cos i was kind of late for school(not officially late but late as in no one else was in class anymore when i went to put my stuff down) so then suddenly miao xiang comes up to me and says, "yo, my new partner!" then i'm like huh? and then the story goes that my FT spent one whole night thinking about how best to change people's seats and ended up only changing about 10 places i think. so genevieve moved behind me with jia jian and i got miao xiang as my partner.

i think genevieve was pretty sweet.(don't get any ideas pls) as in she was really upset she couldn't sit with me anymore. so she was sulking in the famous GVV way of sulking. haha. but then those RUMOURS started. man....do i hate rumours.

mrs jai spotted me turning behind to help GVV with her music theory homework( it's one of those things gvv expects me to do for her, that silly goose) then my FT goes, " Genevieve and Mandy, please, I didn't expect you guys to be so into each other." then both of us were furiously protesting.

afterwards, syazza who sits across the aisle from me, took every opportunity available when i was talking to gvv to say, "hey you guys can't get enough of each other huh?"

gosh! and then worst of all was that grace kock and serena. they kept saying we were scandalous and all that. hello! i think they are more scandalous. every time go toilet together, dunno do what in the same cubicle. then come back to class so tired, always wanna sleep during lessons. and they didn't get split up during class reshuffle somemore! where's the justice huh?

lisa if you're reading this, don't get any wrong ideas. gvv and i are NOT into each other.

anyway 3I got some pretty bad news today. we're gonna get not one but TWO trainee teachers. for maths and bio! i really can't stand it. just because we're not trip science doesnt mean you can just give us trainees. we need all the help we can get, and we're not gonna improve if you dont help us. not even swapping seats will work la. ( thats the reason my FT wanted to change seats, to help my classmates regain their 'focus' on studying) and gvv was like, "but i'll lose my focus!" yeah. so true man. i hope i can positively impact others rather than losing focus(with all due respect to my latest table partner miao xiang who's awfully nice but a tad too talkative! haha we're the M&Ms of 3I remember?)

anyway yeah i leave you guys here with all that. i need to do my enjoyedu now.

bye bye!
mandy(:
heyhey(:

Ahh mandy arh. That had nth to do with me being capt or whatsoever. I was saying from a team members point of view..haha anyhoo, it is past. Look forward. Have faith(: And haha btw, when i said you were the first to wipe my tears, I meant by the silly goosey things you were doing, and not on court..like "down the court"..which wasn't on the court!! Hahaha! Bum.

First day of school! Changed seats first thing in the morning..sitting next to florence now. hm i sorta saw this comin' somehow, that i'll be put with a class com member.. whoooo.my brother is trying to pull me away from the com. tsk. He got stuck under my chair. HAHAHA!
okay back. We have this new bio tr.. gabriel leng?? hooboy. keepin my fingers crossed for bio now!
Then we have a new chi tr..man, she is scary! Gah. I am so so so so so deaddddddddd ):

Oh hey I uploaded this netball vid:D
Watch watch! Esp those who think that nball is not a real game or never watched a match before.


You are my refuge and my shield
I have put my hope in your word.

Sunday, June 22, 2008

hey kat!

haiyo why you so like that huh? i shall just go straight to talking about the carnival yesterday. actually i dont know why you didnt post this on the blazers blog. but anyway, i shall just say on behalf of the whole team, that we are sorry if you thought that we weren't serious enough/played well enough/showed respect towards you, our captain enough or whatever.

you know what? i'm not gonna pretend anymore. i just want to put my hands up and admit i'm probably the biggest culprit. you said i'm the first one to wipe away the tears from your eyes. i disagree. i admit it ok? yesterday i didn't play seriously enough. i didn't motivate myself enough. worst of all, i didn't try my best in certain matches. ok i'm not proud of myself. i dont want to make excuses but i think a major reason had to be because i was playing GD thanks to the absence of Nat and Husna. i didnt have the confidence i think.

i think i really have to work on my attitude. during certain matches, i really motivated myself to work hard. but during other times, i was like 'urgh! i can't stand this!' and then i stop playing as well as i should. during yesterday's debrief, i told everyone i didnt play well. which was seriously how i felt. (you're not the only one to feel like a loser yesterday) but you said that i had played not bad. i was frustrated and disappointed. i didnt deserve any praise. i hadnt even tried my best in some matches. haiya, anyway to cut it short, i feel really disgruntled( that seems to be my fav word recently) that i let the whole team down. i mean everyone was trying their best and there i was, sulking and all...

i know this post seems rather emo or something but its really how i feel. school reopens tomorrow, i don't know if i'm looking forward to it. i suppose so, since i don't want to look backwards.

so here's to a good Term 3 for the 3some undersome and the blazers!

mandy

p.s. to be honest, kat, we were rather surprised at your 'emo-ing' yesterday since it's so not you. keep working on it but remember you are the undisputed captain in our hearts. btw, sorry for upseting you and all that yeah? hope you feel much better now.

Saturday, June 21, 2008

HELLO!!
Yayyyyyyyy my internet is back!!

haha nat ah nat! Tell us about ur EXCITING trip soon okay! like, in 2 days time :D
eeee not looking forward to school:( Ms Tan isn't teaching us anymore and i heard my chi tr has vapourised.

Had my class outing yesterday..13 ppl turned up in total. wow.
But I guess it was not very wasted, got a chance to have a one-on-one with a few of my classmates(: AHMA! haha if you see this: Don't sweat kay! I know I wasn't much of a help yesterday..but i appreciate the time:D And dude, you rock and you know it. So try not to think of anything else alrite? Haha and whoa its the first time i talked to someone ego-er than me!!! Hehe.
every good leader needs a good backup...that is what i learned painfully.

hmm carnival today. woke up at 5:20am and wondered if i should walk to the mrt stn or take a bus there, then go to cityhall by 6:45. Haha i felt like i was going on an excursion!
So i asked andy for advice and she said take bus cos i'll have the company of the bus uncle(:
So i waited and waited and...I actually felt like i was waiting at a wrong busstop or today is the 54 bus uncles free off day or smth. guess what time the bus came! 6:40am. whoooooooo!

carnival.
The first 2 games where with serangoon gardens and st hilda's. Didn't do very well...
As I walked out of that match, I cannot describe how i felt. I felt like a loser. Like a total loser. I couldn't even lead a team, not to win, but to have pride in the game, to put in their best. The way i felt..wasted? disgusted? upset, demoralised, ashamed, disappointed. I don't know what, but it made me cry. I asked the Lord to give me strength and courage at that point, so I wouldn't upset the rest..the jrs..those that still have that respect for me as a leader. I managed to control myself for a while, but upon thinking back at the game, I just...i just don't understand. What must i do to make you all understand how its like for me? To stand on the field, trying..but i don't see my team going in the same direction. As a whole team, that is. I cannot name individuals because i think you've mistaken. Netball, is a TEAM game. No matter what position you play or whatsoever, please, know, one person can bring it down..but we need everybody, to pull it up. It does not depend on just play alone. Just looking at the expressions on your face, I want to just throw my bib down and walk out. I don't want to play anymore. What for?? Even if we win, there's no satisfaction, cos you're not interested. then, neither am i. hear the phrase "win as a team, lose as a team"? Yeah, I don't want to be the only one in the team.

But dyou know why i don't walk out? Because. because i love you all. i want to keep pushing. push you all till you reach the end of the cliff..and make you..fly. I know you can do it. I know i'm not that good myself. That is why, I need you guys too. I know we're going out there, to have fun and enjoy ourselves on court. But are you really enjoying yourselves knowing that we aren't getting anywhere? You know sometimes i ask myself. Is this worth it. Are we a team? Do you know I exist? Do you know we are in this TOGETHER? On court. If you have seen the difference..I try to give an encouragement before the game, huddle up and get ready. But it jus don't work does it? Because? You are not taking this seriously! I am trying to say something, but some of you just have to disrupt the rest and. and. and why do I have to go through so much courses and talks and blahblahblahs to know how to lead a team when nobody will listen?! You want to know what i think? I think you can't lead a team...without a team. What terrific nonsense right? Think about it. I can never, handle this on my own. Maybe you don't know the true meaning of a team. cos in my opinion, we're not there yet. And before i blabber on, please give this a thought. And i shall go to sleep.

"The treasure our heart searches for is found in the ocean of God's love" -Janet L. Weaver Smith

P.s. Mandz, I'm not angry at today okay (takes more than that to make me angry!)..but you were there, I hope you understand what i'm saying. Oh and yes. You silly goose. hahahaha I missed playing with you(: never fail to amuse me with your weird antics. The first, to wipe my tears away from my eyes :D

Thank You, Lord, for filling my life with people

who care. Thank You for my family...for my
friends...for those who are always there for me.

hey everyone!

been ages since i last posted on here.

yes natasha, i am so proud of say that I HAVE FINALLY COMPLETED MY HOMEWORK!!
woopees! it's long overdue but hey, better late than never. it's like a huge load off my back. now i can happily go off and play Fifa 2008 Manager Mode. YAY. although i haven't done any enjoyedu which is not strictly compulsory for me. i promise i will do that!! when im sick of playing Fifa. haha

oh yeah, i also wanna scold the nutty pro! go holiday never tell me huh? never even say where you go, how long,etc. naughty naughty! remind me to smack you when school reopens. (i assume you're not gonna make it for SRC carnival on sat right?)

hey kat! i liked walking out with you after training and listening to those wonderful songs. we really do have identical taste in music.

otherwise, nothing much has been happening to me this week except training, maths lessons, netball bonding and homework doing. so i shall go off and add playing Fifa and watching Euro 2008 in the wee hours of the morning to that list now!

bye bye!

Hello(:

Hmmm. I must say the leadership course was a tad bit over-charged la.. But it was fun:D

Holidays are gonna be OVER SOONNNN....booo hoooooo:( So sad man. I haven't had much fun at all. Most of the time i'm worrying about HOMEWORK. hiaya.

So. Tomorrow we're gonna play GAMES!! whooohooo. Hope they are fun fun fun. I need it. Lots of it. Anyone going on any last minute trip overseas?

How are is your homework coming along Mandz? Alright i hope:) Oh no i haven't studied for Physics either!! I'm not even sure what topics are tested D: HELPPP.

ETHAN IS CUTEEEE :D Tell him that for me please!! HAHA. I wanna hug him! YAY.

Hey have you guys been watching "So you think you can dance" ? IT'S REALLY GOOD. Some people are just so amazing. There was this guy who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident and his other leg had a fracture (there was still a metal rod inside his leg). He was a really good breakdancer but now, well..he cant exactly dance his best. But he turned up for the auditions anyway. His motive was very different from most dancers auditioning. He was like, "I'm doing this for me." He was auditioning to prove something to himself. Not to the judges. Not for anyone else. Wow. You know, the first thing that he said when he realised that his leg was gone was something like, " How am i ever going to dance again?" Such passion.

You'll should go watch it if u're free:) There's some awesome talent there man. Fabulous moves.

Okays then.

tata for now~
Hellooos!

Been quite a while eh. ooh i just found out how to transfer stuff to the com from my phone(:
So here are a few random pics since beginning of the year. Leadership course was um, quote hannah "a waste of time" hahaha. yeah. and nat you silly bum! Went to the wrong class!! hahah luckily you live nearby, can walk home(: or bus home rather..

Here's my brother 9th of march.. more recent but still quite long ago.

Heather(: All 3 of my darling siblings:D


Heather and i on the swings! Keshia & Heather- Henderson waves bridge!

Yeah it was an awesome night on the bridge..scary though XD
whoo. I havn't studied for physics yet. argh...........not looking forward to school!! D:

I'm hooked on the song "If you get there before i do"....
It was one of the 2 songs i heard with nat during our lunch (eating my fave!! XD)

hm.

How was the games Mandz? Hahah i hope it is worth your sleep!! Hmm both me and Nat have to finish our hw by this week too): we did quite a bit ytd:D
Okie back to WORK. Seeyouall tmr!! It was great seeing you again mand! :D

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

hey there!

haha ok kat i got your subtle hints about my gf! haha. i didnt know she would be so sore about it. i was like busy with the bio workshop during that whole week. what did she want me to do anyway? ask her out? haix, why she always wait for me to make the first move one? very gan ga one leh. haha and its 10 months already!! can't believe it.

so many teachers getting married? that's good news for singapore. more babies pls!

anyway thanks a lot kat for what you did to me today!! haha ok i KNOW i've laid off netball for like 2 weeks so obviously i would be feeling flabby and stuff. didn't need to smack my leg so ultra hard and pronounce that i had a lot of fats right? haha. it's only 2 weeks you know. how did you cope with 2 months out? (it was 2 months right?)

but you SORT OF redeemed yourself by saying i had a good comeback. in all honesty, my official comeback was on monday and i think i played horribly in the 3 games on monday. ( although for my first game i was playing WA which i don't feel comfortable in at all! i like WD, i can defend and stick to my player which is much easier than attacking and losing your defender, and i can throw in a surprise element of attacking if need be) so yeah, i took a while to hit the ground running.

it was cool though! i think we combine well as a C-WD partnership. after that you switched to WA and i couldn't really combine with you anymore....:(

i'm sad i couldnt eat out with our blazer nehballers but its ok. hopefully on friday after our carnival we can chat and eat! pls no doing homework in macs! i cant concentrate on doing hw in macs at all. i will just be like eating and talking. haha

speaking of which, i'm off to do my hw(wanna finish by this week too!)

mandy(:

p.s. i think i shall wake up at 3am on thurs morn to watch switzerland vs turkey in euro 2008. anyone wanna join me? i can pop by on msn. haha just kidding(about the joining me part, im serious abt watching the match though, gotta go be nice to my mom first - and do homework too!)

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

HEYHEY!!
argh Mandz sorry last min couldn't go study with you yesterday): So I shall tell you about my past 2 days okay(: well only the interesting and impt parts..or it will be an essay and i already have to write one for poony:(

Sunday
First day of kayaking! Went to meet the 2 other kayaking nehballers(: My darling blur Andy arrived at Payar Lebar stn at 9.10 and i arrived at 9.20 when we were told by fiish to meet at 9.30, which she turned up only at 9.50>:[ BUT during the painful wait I was entertained by the silly goose and her new handphone games..HAHAHA she is hilarious. No wonder she is my love, riiiite?? XD
Then we went to macs and i shared a meal with Andy. hm i realised whenever i go to fast food restaurants with her we always end up sharing meals..so romantic! heee. what happened at the bread shop was funny. I'll tell you all tmr(:


So we made our way..and got lost. aiyayaya, i think all nehballers have horrible sense of direction. We have enough evidence to conclude that statement!

So we arrived there somehow..a bus, a taxi, a car and a long walk later, and got started!
the main instr is called Henrick (or Enrik?? I've no idea) whoa he's muscular :D hm the dragon boaters and kayakers/canoeers there have weird tan lines. thankgoodness ours isn't as bad as theirs!!

So the first things we noticed is that the Kallang Basin STINKS. and is FILTHY.
there were like fishes floating around!! D: and while we were making our way somewhere, Mandz's lovely longtime gf (btw mandz, she is angry you forgot your 10th mth anniversary. *hint hint!) crashed into me, and i capsized!!!!!!!!!!
And when one instr came to my rescue, he told me to put my head in the water, my legs up then my butt and my head leaves the water last.
I told him "Cannot cannot!! My shorts is FLOATING!!" hahaha then he gave me a puzzled look.
It seems like my lovely pe shorts and it's pockets decided to take a gulp of air before going down too.. So he held my boat while i squeezed out all the air and pulled down my shorts while poony sat in her kayak there laughing at me):):
but i found out that the water wasn't salty!! whoo amazing discovery.
So we did other skills then beached up and Henrick told us we were going to do capsizing drills. well that won't be a problem for me i guess..

after the whole thing, we heard the news of our lives (some were happy, some sad) Poony was NOT GNA DEBRIEF!!! WHOOPEE! because...MR ANG WAS GETTING MARRIED! aww. haha and she told us that Mr Lee was getting married too. Double heartbreaker for Mandz gf!!

Walked out and found out that we were near KNC! amazing discovery no.2! :D
So me and fiish became tour guides and went to Kallang leisure park KFC to eat..
Around 8, we made our way to the bus stop. hm fiish became the leader cos i forgot to bring my glasses:p

I LOVED THE WALK OUT :)
it was dark, but then kallang has always been my fav place to walk/run. The night made it better(: even though we had a few mishaps like fiish stepping on a frog, Lydia pretending to be a nun and almost falling down loads of times and Aisyah's (how do you spell it? :p) crazy dancing which could be a traffic hazard. luckily there were no traffic:D the walk took around 20min and we all arrived safely(:

It was the first time I went home with so many ppl(:(: whee many bishan ppl!
Took 13 home and didn't take 54 cos somebody wanted to walk off the calories with me.
So Grace walked me all the way home(:

Monday
Had breakfast with 3C ppl this time. Caroline, Jiayee and Jane(:
Macs again! and i found out that ppl have funny ways of eating pancakes. :D
Walked for half an hour to the place this time..haha we're not the worst, ppl!!

It was SUNNY. and that is an understatement.
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!! whoo it was good to get into the water in our 2nd capsize drill-rescue(:
This time we did it in the middle of the basin..so much better! Haha but i wonder wat ppl outside
are thinking..every 5 secs there is a cry of "HELP!" heehee(:
I did the rescue mission with my dance partner, Nasuha, and the funny dude, Zura XD
So that was mostly it, cept one activity was mass capsizing, where everybody capsized at the same time:D
The other grp gotta go to the Flyer!! D:

Group photo!

Ohh when we beached up this time we saw more than just dead fishes..we saw worms!! gross. When we were all freaking out about the worms, somebody saw a green one! The instr was like,"you know why the worm turn green? Cos the world is going green so the worm also follow go green." ...

Hahah oh this time we went to KFC next to KNC(: saw the clubs playing in the courts! whooo i miss playing there.. ): hm had to settle balls while waiting for the bus, found out the next day that the ppl i was calling was at KNC-.- but then they got us free balls!! :D

Took a long ride back home, then went to burn calories with Grace again(: She ah, like drunk bird like that. Make my estate so noisy. I think my whole neighborhood could hear her laughing! But it was a nice walk(: all the way to my doorstep XD

Today. whooo long day man, I will post it some other day(:
Look forward to seeing you tmr, my long lost mandz(:

And this song is so SO beautiful and sad and true..

Graduation Song (Vitamin C) [FRIENDS FOREVER:)]

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels


Chorus:

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

*Repeat chorus*

La, la, la, la;
yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la,
we will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

*Repeat chorus 3x*

LOVE YOU GUYS:)

Here's the link to the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HDM3eYp4KQ#
I LOVE THIS SONG.
It's so meaningful.

HEY YOU (by Madonna)
Hey you
Don't you give up
It's not so bad
There's still a chance for us
Hey you
Just be yourself
Don't be so shy
There's reasons why it's hard
Keep it together
You'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets
Would envy what we do
This could be good
Hey you
Hey you
Open your heart
It's not so strange
You've got to change this time
Hey you
Remember this
None of it's real
Including the way you feel
Keep it together
We'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets
Would envy what we do
This could be good
Hey you
Save your soul
Little sister
Save your soul
Little brother
Hey you
Save yourself
Don't rely on anyone else
First love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you can save someone else
But you must first love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else

But you must first
Hey you
There on the fence
You got a choice
One day it will make sense
Hey you
First love yourself
Or if you can't
Try to love someone else
Keep it together
We'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets
Will envy what we do
This could be good
Hey you
First love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
But you must first love yourself
Then you can love someone else
If you can change someone else
Then you have saved someone else
But you must first

hey ho!

ahh I went ice-skating yesterday(: my bum-oley hurts): Haha! if i cannot count the number of times i fell down..the most i've ever fallen down in 2hrs i guess. So i thank God for giving me a big bum(: and i think i lost my earpiece there!! D: D:

Hahah you naughty Mandz.. tsktsk! You know i was a bit sad my tr didn't tell us abt the bio workshop thing, but then now you explain I am so happyXD but it is sad you missed trg today! It was FUN!!

Heh i'll tell you about our first game okay? My group and nat's group were the only ones who ate the apple from the pail so we got the entertainment:D the other two groups didn't manage to pick up the apple): okayokay. they weren't allowed to use their hands so they had to use their mouths and then feed other ppl...so as the apple got smaller and smaller, they complained that they were KISSING! hohoho it was really funny. especially if you look at it at an angle, it really seems quite wrong..like a video Ande took:P you must see it sometime. Amanda and Jiwon looked um, romantic?? haha Natasha! you lousy bird. you didn't except Jiwon's apple offer. But i guess it saved ur skin on the cam huh(:

We played quite a few other games but the more fiery ones were when there was contact with each other, like the untangle game(: whoo. well i guess i'm really happy that it all worked out. I just hope the atmosphere will not change in the next trg. oh, ms chng praised us(: she said that the planners did a great job and she felt the whole attitude had changed the moment she stepped in XD so WELL DONE ANDY, AINSLEY AND SAM!

When we call on God, He bends down
His ear to listen, as a father bends down
to listen to his little child.

heylo :)



Im very sry for not blogging for like ages dudettes:( Well i couldn't make it for wed's training cause i was invited to attend a bbq at east coast park with the alumni from ccps (my ex-primary school).

hello just a random post. this is because i am like slacking during my bio stem cell workshop when i should be doing research and worksheets. oops! anyway, got not much to tell you guys but i just wanna say im really down...cos maria sharapova lost to dinara safina in the french open 4th round last night! crap. when i watched the first set, she won. but when i went to sleep, then she lost. haix...now i hope ana ivanovic wins the french open or im really gonna be angry/upset. why does maria always do this to emily and i? huh? you tell me! oh wait...but you guys probably dont know what im talking about anyway right? never mind then.

i was just listening to 'swear it again' by westlife. i know it is a really old song but i think old songs=gold songs. well at least some of them. i really like the lyrics they have. like in 'swear it again' it says:


"Swear It Again"

[Shane:]
I wanna know
Who ever told you I was letting go
Of the only joy that I have ever known
Girl, they were lying


Just look around
And all of the people that we used to know
Have just given up, they wanna let it go
But we're still trying


So you should know this love we share was never made to die
I'm glad we're on this one way street just you and I
Just you and I


All:
I'm never gonna say goodbye
Cos I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain
And I swear it all over again and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad
Cos I never wanna see you sad
I swore to share your joy and your pain
And I swear it all over again

[Shane:]
All over again

Some people say
That everything has got its place in time
Even the day must give way to the night
But I'm not buying
Cos in your eyes
I see a love that burns eternally
And if you see how beautiful you are to me
You'll know I'm not lying

Sure there'll be times we wanna say goodbye
But even if we try
There are some things in this life won't be denied
Won't be denied

[All:]
I'm never gonna say goodbye
Cos I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain
And I swear it all over again and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad
Cos I never wanna see you sad
I swore to share your joy and your pain
And I swear it all over again

[Mark:]
The more I know of you is the more I know I love you
And the more that I'm sure I want you forever and ever more
And the more that you love me, the more that I know
Oh that I'm never gonna let you go
Gotta let you know that I

[All:]
I'm never gonna say goodbye
Cos I never wanna see you cry
I swore to you my love would remain
And I swear it all over again and I
I'm never gonna treat you bad
Cos I never wanna see you sad
I swore to share your joy and your pain
And I swear it all over again

hey everyone!

haha guess what i am actually blogging in school!! wow cant believe it. yes it's break time during day 1 of my bio stem cell workshop! haha. we were actually doing PBL just now. about organ transplants, after-effects and all that. just learnt a lot of technical terms like antigens, pathogens, etc. but it's a RELAXING type of learning atmostphere, very unlike what we're used to in school. i call that the 'pressure-cooker' learning style man. but we had to write 2 journal entries on today's lesson. haha. ok i can seriously say i just crapped about it. but its a good kind of crapping ok?

and kat, you wanna know more about what happened during THE QUEST on sat? haha i thought natasha would have told you already! anyway i try and type as fast as possible ok? before i kena scolding from the teacher..

we assembled as one huge mass of orange people outside the cathay open plaza. yeah and we got our passbook of locations to travel to. our first location was....*drumrolls* orchard youth scape park. basically, what we did was to piggyback each other like 5 laps up and down maybe 20m or something? yeah i carried lemo(is that how you spell her name nat?) twice, nat's sister also was the piggy twice. natasha attempted to piggy back felicia but they fell down TWICE. haha laughing like crazy baboons too! i think kat would have loved to do this right? eh? and we didnt abandon you...you didnt wanna commit in the first place right?

oh,...and we took the wrong person's passbook. so we had to run back and collect our own passbook. seriously, i think it was the woman in charge there who passed us the wrong book. Pfft! we next headed off to fort canning park. where we so easily clambered up the many many steps leading to the top of fort canning park. note the sarcasm? haha, we were like so tired and out of breath man. this reminds me of bukit timah hill. but anyway, once we reached there we were supposed to do SKIPPING. haha i wished skipping was brought back to training. (hint to kat...although i wont be there for wed training) well, we were horrible actually.we didnt manage to do this task. haix...skipping practice anyone?

we then travelled to tampines mall where we sang for 3 people a song about NTUC. erm...i think two of them were kat's classmates? caroline and charlene if im not wrong. another one was a random person. but yeah we threatened them into giving us 10out of 10 marks! (i was like,' hey i know kathleen ok! your monitress right? hehe...*evil eyes*) then we went to pasir ris park. we ran from the chalets there all the way to the playground. i wouldnt recommend doing that yeah? 3some tip: just take bus 403 from interchange if you wanna go playground!or risk feeling super tired.

over there, we did a variation of caterpillar on the grass. we were quite fast actually. hehe. and nat's sister said she felt like she was going birth! haha....preparation for the inevitable in maybe 7-10 years time? hehe i bet the next time she sees me, she'll smack me into oblivion!! ok then we went to white sands and did our final task. finding 5 ntuc house brands. yup and thats the end of our noble quest. haha. we went to the end point ( downtown east) where we received our goodie bags consisting of vouchers, drinks, food, seventeen mag, notebook,pen ,etc. and nat said we got 27th position. which is not bad actually, considering there were 200++ teams taking part.

as part of entertainment, we were treated to two local bands music. no offence yeah, but the first band was totally WHOA!! the lead singer was screaming like crazy. dont even understand a thing. i suppose its not my type of music. the 2nd band was from CJC ex students so nat's sister and lemo knew them. well, sort of anyway. i thought the the 'angel' song was really nice. after the prize presentation, which we didnt win anything anyway, we went off to our free entry to escape theme park! well it was at about 5 pm already. so i only managed to take three rides. thanks to the silly decision of queueing up for go-kart racing instead. about half an hour and still 40 people in front of us. haix. so i only took the inverter, viking ship and silly turnaround turn around ride (cant remember the name)before i left for home!

alright thats saturday in a nutshell. sorry its so long and uninteresting. i am currently getting pressured into finishing this as quickly as possible. so yeah, you can hear real life action from nat on wed's training then!

mandy=)
i can't concentrate on math):

hahaha SPINELLI!!!!!!!!!!
I MISS YOU GIRL!! And don't worry, I won't miss our date for the world(:
I didn't know you could be so mushy. Must've it picked up from you're new school eh?

And you've reminded me..with all this chaos going on, how i wish you were here with me! You'll be the coolheaded one who's brain would never fail even when mine did, and we'll pull through everything..now, i'm at a lost. ): ): ): ): ):
But you're still here helping me even though you aren't 'here'..
I LOVE YOU(:
heello(:

ahh can somebody tell me what you did on saturday!! I'm feeling very sad you left me out of the team ):):

Eeeee I need to start doing hw. D; and start planning for wed's trg. Ms Chng says I have to plan the whole schedule for that day...nyeh. oh wells I hope it works! She says that she doesn't like the atmosphere of trg, mandz. Says she's not used to the dullness. haha told us that other coaches used to say,"cedar netballers are very cheerful, united girls huh".

But it's different now.
I guess you both don't know what happened yesterday.
I do not want to relive it here cos even I am not sure of the details...
I was heart pained though when i heard it.
This is what has become.

oh well.i will still prefer this position to the one in the classroom though..i think. i am confused..guide me lord,i need Your help.
I guess He has helped me loads already. Haha! By relieving me of my burdens(:(:

Oh! natasha. I've been having dreams lately..and almost all concerns you:D
hahaha! I vaguely remember them now but one of them was on how you did for the saturday contest(: I dreamt you guys got 4th or 5th! but you were sad bcos you didn't get anything):

ahh. I better start on work now.
cheerios!
