long weird day.
slept til 930am which is quite amazing seeing i slept at 11 last night and the previous 2 nights been sleeping at 1am :P

went to bugis today(:
Quite a few interesting things happened..
I sat next to a real transex guy.
Oh gosh so scary..
The thing is that i didn't know that he/she was one til i heard this booming deep voice coming from somewhere i thought came from this guy that was not moving his mouth but doesn't look like a ventroliquist( idk how to spell:P) then i realised it was this skinny tall person with lipstick and long yellow sundress with flowers that was speaking. :O
(hm i realised it seems like i meant the flowers were speaking. hahah no, the man was:P)

Then on the bus on the way back..
man, wasn't the bus lively!
and no it's not a positive thing.
C'mon people, where is the love??
ahh but i'm too tired to say wat happened.

I went to fetch my sis from school after that, needed someone/something/a walk to cheer me up.
It worked(:
/edited
(:
I really wanted to laugh, but i could only just smile.
Thank you sis (:

Ahh there's so much more things that happened today, but my brain memory capacity is too small to remember so much.. I HAVN'T RECIEVED FALCON PHOTOS!! ):

oh yeah, I was singing before dinner:D
okay, I always sing at random times when there's nothing to do, but i was singing a cool song..and this is how it goes:

Turn on the radio
and listen to the news
Cos falcons gonna win
and you're gonna lose (gonna lose)

Cos we're the mighty birds that fly
and you're the groups we kiss goodbye
But we always will, raise our spirits highhh (spirits high)

Breath taking
Heart's pumping
Fun lovin'
there's no faking how great we are
When you take a ride of our life

Falcon's in my soul
I can feel it everyday, everynight
It's the one thing on my mind

Falcon's got control
and we will never let it go, no no
I just want to hear it all night longggggggggg!!!

~SOARING HIGH

Okay, I can't believe i just typed everything out. :P
Rahh. I just realised how much more I couldve given them..

And now it's over.

I think I got my heart back.

COALs.. I AM POSSIBLE

Back from COALs.
It was. How to say, an emotional camp for many.
Why is my heart like a rock?
I'll never forget that night, that one night.
When hearts were shed, and the ground melted below our feet.
The anger, the fear, the knot in the core that spread around each one like wildfire..flooding out in tears.
Lord, did You lock up my heart for a reason? Why couldn't I feel anything? Some part of me wanted to feel the suffering they went through, the burden that we shared..
But still. Maybe.
Maybe You used me, to be that pillar, that shoulder that dried some of their tears. (: The only one without the tears fogging my thought.
Thank You Lord, for that strength you provided and answered.
The Lord really proved Himself so many times during this camp..
I don't know what I would've done without You by my side!
Thank You for answering our prayers. (:
Not just one request did you answer, but all.


To FALCON:

Falcon, falcon, falcon.. Do you know, when ever I see you, I'm just at lost for words to say? I myself don't know why. Maybe it's because, I know you are a sensitive group, I don't like to see you cry, I don't want to hurt you. But yet, I want you to grow, to be who you can become-that potential you all have but cloaked somewhere to be uncovered. From the beginning, I already knew, what you could be capable of. I saw it in you. I guess that's why I never gave up in you, why I pushed you on, why I teared for you.
I know at first, you didn't understand. That frustration, irritance, dread of me, cannot be mistaken. Those rolling eyes, those words, yeah, it did hurt. It made me almost want to give up on you. But do you know why I held firm? Do you know why, I didn't loosen the knots? I just wanted to give you that extra push you needed, that push off the cliff. Just so you'd open your wings and learn how to fly.
& you know what? You learned instead, to soar.
I wasn't there much at the beginning of COALs, but you know somehow, I didn't really want to be there. I'd not know what to do, how to say the things I want to say. Don't know how I want to express it, positively or harsh, cos somehow, I'd never get the response I want. Somehow I don't know if what I was doing is right or wrong..But I guess, you still made it, Falcon.
At the end of it all, you did it. I'm not talking about winning the award. I never set that expectation of getting the 'Best Group Award'..
though in my heart, you've already got it. No, I'm talking about all the things you've pulled through, the million things you've overcome. I wasn't looking at the thing's you've done, the achievements in ink, but its to see how much you've grown. From the beginning until the end, I can see that obvious change, and you know what? I'm really proud of you. (:
"Anything essential is invisible to the eyes." ~Antoine de-Saint Exupery {The Little Prince}
At the very end, I'm not sure if you hate me or what (like what some have confessed(; ) but that doesn't matter. I just hope that you've lived COALs and BTC to the very fullest, cos it's the only one chance you'd get to go through it.

Actually I have to say, of all my experiences of leading a group or just being in it, Falcon has been the most worthwhile, satisfying one. I can't even remember much of COALs 'o7, but I'll never forget 'o8. Because of you. (:

p.s I hope you like the hippos, cos I really love the ring! ;) And yes, of course the letters too.


Psalm 119:71,75b - 76 "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. ...and in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight."

Hmm, I'm not sure if I'll miss anything..COALs was over in a flash.
But if there's one thing I'd miss, it's CAMPCRAFT!

I'll miss those whacky experiments we did, the dangerous stunts, the crazy things we did when we were bored..hm.
just to list a few:
The Great Digging Expedition@ The tree with Old Man xD
The Lemonade Escape
The GAS STOVES. xO
The [sensored] (yes, I think wanehs hand is the smoothest xD or is it Mays'?)

And other's my brain has no space to remember :P
You 3 are really the whackiest bunch, honestly! Hahah but it made the gazillion hrs of preparation fun (:
Maytavee! Awww what you wrote was damn sweet. (:
It's the nicest thing someone has said to me throughout COALs! Silly goose!!
And yeah, sleeping beside you (literally) was super comfy too :D hoho I sound scandalous. But you disappeared the 2nd night! D:
And you! Hahaha I still can't believe you let me hug you. Actually I didn't realise until after I did. :P But still!! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I hugged the un-huggable. :D
And to the youngest one who turns 15 in 4 days, YOU ARE N-U-T-S. hahaha! Really, you are. So kuku and blur and everything else, really enjoyed doing the dirty work with you. HAHA.
Oh and one more thing, keep your hands off me!!!!! I'M WATCHING YOU. o.o

okay, so i didn't pop 6 corns in 7 hrs!! Hahaha maybe i popped 6 edible ones:P The rest uhm, popped away? Hahaha what to do, I'm hotter than the fire. xP

COALs is here.
Ack okay it's TOMORROW.
And I havn't packed. okay that's not the point.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
whoa okay, much better(:
Haha I can't believe it's here already! Ohmy.
JIAYOU INSTRUCTORS '08!! Its time to show them what we've been sacrificing 6mths, our sleep, our sweat and blood for!!
And i've already planned, if anything goes wrong, I'm gna put on a pe tee and pretend i'm a camper!! Hohoho i'm so smart. xP

hmm. I really pray that it will go smoothly, and for the weather too!
Hope you'll pray for me too, I think I'll really need the strength to last. & hope my cough miraculously will go away. ):




Went for Heather's concert today!!
Haha! Ohmy, I think it was the best concert i've been to in my life.
Those kids are just sooooooooo cute!!
I tell you they were just so great to watch, and it was amusing to see them go up on stage in front of everybody! Some had stage fright and it was so hilarious!!!
Cos this boy was supposed to introduce an item, but he started turning around and pulling his pants, so the teacher pulled him behind the curtains. Then suddenly, out of the curtains, was a little girl!! Hahaha like a magic trick.
But the girl was also in a state of shock, so the teacher pulled her behind the curtains too!
Ohmy, then another girl appeared!!!!!! xD
I laughed and laughed til my sides hurt i tell you! But luckily this girl wasn't scared. How many understudies do they have??

But when my sis came out for her performance, she cried.
Aww. She's been practicing so so so hard at home!!
Haha I even asked her this morning "will you be scared later on stage?" and she said "nope!!"
Haha! Ahh. but during the finale, she didn't cry.
Cos she was busy turning around pointing and waving at the huge frog person at the back.
:/
Oh well. Hahahahahhahahahahaha!! :D


I'm gonna miss my bed, my shower and those hugs ):

POP POP POP

The nice things about waking at 5am and going home at 8pm..
is that I have the whole road to myself, the sunrise, the stars and the freedom to do what i want, cos no one's looking. :D
wow.
It feels good to walk into the dark estate, breath that fresh air, and clear my mind of all things in the morning..and night, by singing with my waterbottle microphone!
The feeling of You by my side is just, amazing.

Today was carnival day at RGS.
It was quite good! I realised I play only under pressure..
man, it reminds me of our sec 1 days..hah.

Rushed back to school after that.
Popping corn seeds!! Well yeah that sums up my 7hrs in school.
Ohboy. Its one tough job okay!

Doing proposals now):):

AHCHOO!!

5 days to camp.
And I'm falling sick..

At least my heart jumps&dances with the delight of a new day
(:


And I found that songgggg!! Listen, and tell me what you think!
Mi amor I'm not sure of the right words to say
Maybe these simple words will do best to best explain
What I feel in my heart
What I feel more each day
How to make you see
How to let you now
How to say how to say how I love you so
With words you understand
Words that get right trought to your heart
Here's the place to start

[Chorus]
Tu amor, I will always be
Tu amor, means the world to me
Estarás siempre en mi corazón
You're the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor.

Mi amor love you more with each look in your eyes
Maybe these simple words will do best to best describe
What I feel in my heart
What I'll feel for all time
How to make you see
How to let you now
I need you
With words you understand
Words that get through to your soul
Words that will let you now

[Chorus]
Tu amor, I will always be
Tu amor, means the world to me
Estarás siempre en mi corazón
You're the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor.

You're the one that
I need in my arms
Believe me these words
I say are words that come straight from my heart
How do I make you believe
Nothing else means as much as what you mean to me

TVPS!

Went to tvps@8 tday!
I realised i went back for the school, not for trs or whatever..& ofc you too, sis(:
Man it has changed so so much..I spent most of my time just remenising
Hahah okay guess what happened!
I went to umpire their inter-class nb games, (which i found out that mz went and didn't tell me): ) and when i arrived, i saw someone (I couldn't see, as i was without my eyes) running towards me and shouting smth.
Then when she came to me, she said "SENIOR, SENIOR!" *pause* "you don't rmb me ah?"
Haha yikes. :P
And you know what. She actually remembers my name. I asked her 4 times that day to call me by name, but everytime she calls me, she goes "senior, senior!"
ohmy. I feel old.

Then she introduced me to the P6 nb-ers. And they asked if i was from her batch.
"no,no, she's my senior! which means your senior senior senior."
eeeeeesh!! you dont wanna know what she said when we met the P3 netballers man.. D:
Hmm, but then again, I really admire her respect just cos I am a year older, and that she remembers me!
Which shows that i have made quite an impact in my jrs:D like charmaine! (who went from drama to netball & followed me n rmbd my name..yet i forgot hers :P sorry)
But sadly, maybe only my pri sch jrs.
& I wasn't even the capt. Maybe that's the problem..why do i feel that it's weighing me down. This aint the way its supposed to be.

Haha, the P6 jrs were my tour guide for the day.
Man I must've looked like a newcomer, not some person who studied in the school for 4 yrs:P
Wow they can really talk. & they are so daring, ask for my number sommore! hohoho!
aye. The most interesting was at the end, we went to the hall to watch their post-eye performance. They had catwalk!! *wheetwheet!
Ohman so funny! The first two were okay, then came this, this..guy in a tube? xD
He had earings, hairband, bracelet, necklace, hawaii skirt..ohgosh! HAHAHA
Aye, then i did smth maluating. haha but i guess cos the auntie found me pretty so she let me go. HAHA. okay. Ego moment. :P

Anyway, I had to leave cos my lovely cc asked me to do a store check at 12pm. She told me to do so at 11am the same day. ):
So I flew to Cedar, poked a snail on my way, and did store check.
I also watched abit Charlie's performance! I like their songs(:(:

don't cry.
I get affected too you know..
things may be harsh, the world unfair, but thats the way it is.
if you need anything or want to tell someone smth, rmb I'm always there.
I realised I havn't really been talking to you..though i see you everyday.
Cheer up(:
Don't be sad, it hurts me bad. ):

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Hey:)

Being sick really aint nice. But ah well, all things happen for a reason. Chinese exam today was actually alright! haha. Thank goodness.

Don't worry kath, i've been praying for him.

Love ya peeps.

TASHI.
Hey I know I haven't posted anything for a long time. So I'll just like to let everyone know I'm still alive and well. Haha. Ok actually I'm doing this because I promised Kat yesterday I would blog soon, and in both this blog and the Blazers blog.

I'm curious Kat, why didn't you post those two posts? They were beautifully worded and had deep emotions in them. You should post them.

Right now while almost the whole of Cedar Sec 3s 2008 are doing their MT O levels and the Sec 4s their HMT O levels, I'm busy following the results of the American elections. Obama's about to win, he's got almost all the big states. I'm not into politics and I'm not an American, so I can't claim to know everything about these two candidates. I don't have a favourite. I just want the winner to help get America and the whole world out of this credit crunch crisis. And solve a lot of other pressing problems like climate change, etc.

I've been slacking so much lately. I should try to have more self-control, seriously. Although it's tough, cos it's officially the school holidays after all, I should relax and enjoy myself for a while right? Right! Ok I'm in self-denial. This post is turning out to be so so crappy. Seriously, I can't blog without any inspiration. Maybe next week I will have more interesting things to blog about, cos I've got my WEP work attachment thing. So everyone, I apologise for wasting 2 mins of your time for reading this, but just think about it, I also wasted about 4 mins of my time typing all this. Argh, holidays are turning my brains into mashed potato. I better go before I sprout more nonsense. Hopefully my next post will be more sensible yes?

Bye,
Mandy(:

Imagine coming home everyday, just to see his face! (:


Today on my way to school, we passed by pp stn.
Hahah! don't know why, i thought of you. Just because of that one time, you waited for me there. I thought of that laugh you always gave me, and all the other crappy things that we've done. You've helped to change my life, though you did not know, and that i will never forget. Just that simple action you did really struck me, and since then, I've not been the same. We didn't really even know each other then.
Outlaws, we were! Haha but then, it was because of that, I got to know you. I guess you were the first that i've known, to do what you did. You let me see, how just such simple easy actions, can touch a persons heart. To wait an extra 15 minutes for someone, and just laugh about million things that happened while you stoned, instead of rushing or just saying 'its okay'; making the effort to change the way you do things, even if its just once, to show that you care; the way you set aside all the differences, to make it feel like it was just me and you, heart to heart.
Wow, you don't know how much i've learnt from you! You have really inspired me, made me think, and you didn't even do much! And if you ask me now, I'd say that though i only knew you for more than a year, all the small things you've done, amounts to much more than what anyone has done in the past years of my life.
Now i think of you, i don't know whether to be sad that you're going, or laugh my head off because of all the crappy hilarious things we've done. hahaha! Ohwell. I'll definately miss a great leader, and friend, like you. (:

and all you did was self-control. You put Jesus first in your heart, and just because of that 10 minute action, i felt that tug in my own heart..

Haha okay, finally have pics to upload!

Me and bro! Aww just missed him doing a flying kiss!! just melts my heart... :p heh, he's mine for now anyways(: do we look that alike? ppl see us and go "*pause* they look so alike!" I bet the pause is cos they stopped themselves from asking,"are they twins?" HAHAHA!


yes, i know we don't look alike, but hey, I've proven i'm not the youngest or the only child yeah! I love you sistah's!, cos you never fail to make me smile(:

okay, i won't put up anymore..my face is priceless, heh heh!! cannot like that put so many:P or you'll never leave this page. XD
hm.
hahaha I did a long post that day, then decided not to post it. :P
nat and manz! Go check it out(:

Sunshine came to stay over at my place ytd xD
Ohgosh it was so hilarious.
Of the 7 yrs I've been staying where I am, ytd was the first day i got caught in the rain while walking home!! Hahaha so we crapped in a nearby carpark while waiting for the rain to stop. ohman so embarrassing.
Then reached home and finished math papers!! haha we're nerds i tell you!
hmm then I used the comp, but dunno why, first time it didn't want to shut down or do anything! (usually it likes to shut down by itself.)
Then went down and watched 'The Proud Family' or smth like that. HAHA we are so deprived.

ah, we mad scientist partners cannot rest without doing some science! xP
like the day we almost blew up the chem lab, or when we dug our hands into a sheeps heart..oh the good ole days!
heh anw, we snapped on our latex gloves and..made a man. :O
HAHAHA eh, it was difficult ):
we wanted to take pictures of our hard work, then when i was gna snap, there was a black out!
So we roamed around with candles..so romantic eh!

JIAYOU NATASHA AND EVERYONE ELSE FOR MOTHER TONGUE O'S TMR! :D
will be praying for you! Get well soon yeah?
p.s. can't wait for friday!

God bless!
