Yesterday was an amazing day.
Was supposed to meet Hendy at nine fifteen at Tanah Merah to walk to Hall One together, but when I was at Eunos at eight forty five, he was at Boon Lay. I waited, but in the end he urged me to go ahead and he'd meet me l8r. So I walked down with Jane and Eddie instead. No one can not have company on the long walk there. Seriously, what they said is definitely true. Anyone who reaches Expo MRT station at nine forty five will have to brisk walk. (Chevy's Hong Kong pace, haha. Inside joke.)
Had service, and it was good. And after that, went with my cell group to this Japanese restaurant in Bedok for lunch. Jane and I shared this Katsudon thing. And the fried rice. It was okay, I guess. Then left early to go over to the airport to meet Hendy, Nicky, Chevy, Louisa.
I was like freezing! Because I'd left my top with Eddie. Sigh. And I was only wearing a camisole under. So I borrowed Nicky's jacket. And. Yeah. Met Louisa, walked around the airport with her because the guys had to sign some thing for their cell group. We wanted to get something for Bryant. Initially, we wanted to get, like, sweets. But none were very suitable. So we got him flowers. I got him one blue rose and one two-tone white and pink one. They were ultra pretty. And Louisa and I got each other a red rose! We love each other.(: And, yeah. the blue rose especially was pretty. BLUE ROSE. HINTHINTHINTHINT. Yeah. (: So then we met Vanessa and Anna Beth, and we all went to the viewing mall. Yeah. And waited for four forty five.
Around four forty, we went to the arrival hall and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally Bryant appeared. Yay! We've missed him soooooo much! Haha. Yeah. So we immediately left for Marche at Suntec. We took 36 all the way down. I slept on the way, super lethargic. And we walked from like Tower 3 to the Convention centre. In the Hong Kong pace. Whoa super fast! I could've died ahahahahaha.(:
Finally we reached our destination! Julie and Keenan came and brought us in. We had an awesome dinner. Not all of South was there, but still, we managed to eat up a storm. And I completely made a fool of myself by trying to speak chinese. Eeee. Yeah. Junxiong taught me hahahahaha.(: It was super funny.
Yeah. And after that, we went to the Esplanade. Julie, Steph, Louisa, Nicky, Hendy and I! We danced. Haha. And we talked a LOT. Louisa and I got a titchy bit emotional about the whole thing. But it worked out fine in the end. Hendy told me about softshell crabs.(: Hendy, if you're reading this, wo ai ni! Haha, that's a good analogy. And it made me feel better. And Hendy and Nicky, being the darlings they are, bought Julie, Steph, Louisa and I a chocolate-covered strawberry from Chocz. How sweet(:
Cabbed home with Julie and Steph.


Today was the first day of school for Term three. How unfortunate that it should start with five whole periods of housekeeping in both the hall and our respective classrooms. Cheers, but I think I'll take the lessons.
School was a bore. We got Yang Lao Shi. Sigh. Someone teach me basic chinese!
Anyway. After school, went to study at KAP with Hendy, Bryant, Chevy, Anna Beth, Nicky, Vanessa. It was pretty fruitful today. I managed to finish my Math tuition homework.
...I'm serious.
Yeah. And then Chevy had to go. So Hendy left with him. And Bryant and I happily made our way to town. And the realisation dawned upon us that we haven't gone out in a super long time! LOL. True. Okay. So actually, we wanted to watch Just My Luck. (Yeah, again.) But I'd prolly get home super late. And mom wouldn't like that. So we went walking instead.
Went to Pacific Plaza to get Chevy's flip flops. Bryant got him nice ones. And we got lanyards!!!!!!! Red for South! Quiksilver.(:
I'm super pro-South. My braces are red, my lanyard is red, my nails are red, and so is my ***. No, seriously. I have a red sports bra. SOUTH!<3
Anyway. Then we walked to like Popular. And got the card holders. And then we went to Taka for Pepper Lunch. Yum! I seriously like their Honey Brown sauce. (: And yeah. We talked about loads of things. Sigh, I seriously think there's nothing I don't tell Bryant. Haha. Yeah.(:
Mom started to call, so I had to go home. But not before I had Yoggi! I haven't had my favourite ice cream in a super long time! Haha. Yeah. Bryant bus-ed home with me.

Came online and Chuan Yu told me some pretty shocking things. HAHA(:

10:13 PM;

Went studying with Hendy at KAP today. Yeah, only. Chevy had his DSA trials. Jeff didn't answer. Louisa had cell group. Hansheng couldn't make it.
Sigh. Yeah so we were trying to do math. I got a head start on my tuition homework. Kind of. Had sort of a reminiscing session. It was then that I realised them holidays are ending like, real soon. Real soon. And I started reading, and, oh, Beth called and asked if I could go get her polka dots with her and I said yes. So I met her about four fifteen at Wisma.
Hendy was so nice, he accompanied me to town in a 171 from KAP to meet Bethy. And then he spent a couple hours by himself in the Esplanade library before his dance class. And then I think he just sent Louisa home. Where to find a brother that's so nice?
Anyway. So I met Bethy and we did a bit of looking around. Um. Yeah. She tried on the polka dotted one but decided not to get it in the end. Went to Topshop and couldn't find the matching bottom for my bikini. Sigh. So didn't get anything...
Walked around. Looked at shoeeees! Went for tea at food.republic. Had dim sum! Was quite nice. Then we walked to Lido and checked the timing for Just My Luck. The time then was six thirty. The movie timing was six forty. Lucky? (: Hahahahaha okay. So of course we got the tix. Then nipped down to Mango for a quick look. SALEEE!!!!!!!! There were some really cute things. A couple of absolutely adorable pairs of denim shorts. But there wasn't time. Hastened back up to the cinemas.
The movie was quite nice. The storyline is kinda fairytale-ish, but it's funny. Lindsay's pretty. Chris Pine looks absolutely edible. What could be better?(:

And if my day wasn't perfect enough, Daddy just bought me a bar of chocolate.
It's sure days like this that I live for. (:

(claps) Let's go, Toros (x4)
All right
We're sweet, we got the whip
We can't be beat.
We're the best, our team's too cool
We got the class to rock this school.

Awww, yeah.

We're bad, we got the team
We can't be had.
We're the best, so score them points
You win the game, we'll rock this joint.

Go Toros, go Toros, go go go, Toros

Go Clovers, go Clovers, go go go, Clovers

Our game is fierce
And we are hip
So get on back,
You can't touch this.

Our game is bad
We're without peer
So get that weakness outta here.

Trying to sell our bit
But you look like shit
We're the ones who're down with it.

9:40 PM;

Awesome, oh, wow. Like, totally freak me out. I mean, right on. (clap, clap)
Toros sure are number one.
I transferred from Los Angeles, your school has no gymnastics team. This is a last resort. (clap)

Trying to sell our bit, but you look like shit.
We're the ones who're down with it.

Today was all right. Came home very early, compared to the past few days.

Went to lunch and shopping with Steph and Beth today.(: Got my much-coveted black halter bikini top with a metal ring. Pretty.(: Going tanning on Saturday. Steph got a black one too. Think hers was a string top. Beth liked a pretty one at warehouse in white with black polka dots but she didn't get. Think going to get tmr? Maybe I'm getting the matching bottom. Or a pair of boyshorts.

Then went to airport, met Jeff, Hansheng, Hendy and Tingzhi. Went to fetch Chevy from the airport. Yay! Finally someone's back, we're always sending people off.

Then came home and watched Legally Blonde. Nice ending. Daddy cooked me pasta in a chicken soup. Yum. I think I have to stop eating such rich food, here I am trying to lose weight and all. Daddy keeps ruining things, first my diet and now he says we're going to London in December and I won't be allowed to not go. Sigh. I want to shop.

Well. Pretty short day. (: I'm gnna go buff my nails now, byee

9:06 PM;

Today was a pretty simple but pretty amazing day. First thing in the morning, Seraphina called me at like eight thirty. Morning call. I STILL rolled over and went back to bed. Shucks. Woke up at like nine thirty and I was supposed to be at the airport at ten. So I hurried and washed up and changed and rushed down.
Met Sera and Nicky at the mrt. was super late, like ten forty. Haha. And they'd alr chosen some chocolate! (We were supposed to meet early to buy chocolate for Hendy because he was being emo and everything and we are so caring and all, and chocolate makes you happy.(: Scientifically proven.) And so Nicky'd alr gotten the belgian seashell chocolate for hendy. Like super a lot of different flavours. And... yeah. So we went to get some more. We looked in the pearls@changi but they didn't have a lot, so we only got Hendy the bubbly chocolate from there. Oh, and two chocolate hearts from Sera and I to show our love! And then we went to the cocoa trees again and we got him the pastilles. All the flavours! And all the colours.(: So pretttyyyy. Rightrightright Hendy RIGHT? Must keep the boxes and take a photograph, huh.(: And then... yeah. It mayn't sound a lot, but it was. It was like one whole paper bag, full of chocolate. Imagine. I think he'll have as much fun eating them as we did choosing them, as quoted from Sera. And, oh, we shopped and ate a lot! (: Was fun. And Louisa, Steph, Hendy and I were talking about BGR. And stuff like that. Haha. Had lots of fun with my girls (and guys) today! Yay! I was going psycho and kept doing the thing from Bring it On.
It's all right, it's okay. You're gonna pump our gas someday. (x2)
HAHAHAHA.

I'm sexy. I'm cute. I'm popular to boot.
I'm bitchin'. Great hair. The boys all love to stare.
I'm pretty. I'm cool. I dominate the school.
Who am I? Just guess. Guys wanna touch my chest.
I'm rockin'. I smile. And many think I'm vile.
I'm flying. I jump. You can look but don't you hump.
I'm major. I roar. I swear I'm not a whore.
We cheer and we lead. We act like we're on speed.
Hate us cause we're beautiful, well, we don't like you either.
We're cheerleaders, we are cheerleaders, go Toros!

Because nicky left today, this song's for him! Steph and I were singing it the whole day yesterday and today. Haha(:

Oh, Nicky, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Nicky, hey, hey! Hey Nicky, hey, hey!

Note: edited where grammatical errors were spotted.

Whether you're stunting, jumping, competing, practicing or just standing around, your shoes take a lot of abuse and what you put on feet can make a big difference in your comfort and performance. Cheerleading shoes are part of your uniform, but think of them as part of your Cheerleading equipment. Choosing the right Cheerleading shoes should be a top priority.


Price
As in most things, you get what you pay for. The price you pay for a pair of Cheerleading shoes can make a difference in the quality of the shoes. It can not only affect the comfort, but also the durability and upkeep. Cheerleading shoes range in price from approximately $20 to $70 with the average shoes running from $30-$50. Find a price range that meets your needs and then shop for the best shoe in that range.

Comfort
Nothing can make you more miserable than a pair of uncomfortable shoes. Look for good cushioning, flexibility, lightweight and breathability in your Cheerleading shoes.

Fit/Size
Insure the fit of your Cheerleading shoes. If possible, try them on before you purchase them or make sure you can return them if they don't fit properly. Some brands fit differently from others, so if you're used to one brand and are making a change to another, ask the company how the new brand runs.

Features
You'll want a shoe that is as lightweight as possible but still offers the most comfort, support and durability. Look for any added features you need for stunting or tumbling such as finger grips or grooves, flexibility, shock absorption, scalloped archways and ankle support. Choose a shoe that meets the needs of your activity. Keep in mind the upkeep of the shoe and if necessary, weatherproofing.

Style
Most cheerleading shoes come in white with added team colour insertions. Check the style you're ordering to be sure they meet your needs in style and colours.

From: Valerie Ninemire.



So, some of us, after this practice, are looking to invest in a pair of cheerleading shoes, so as not to hurt our poor bases. We did shoulder sits and shoulder stands. And shoulder stands can be especially painful. For bases whose flyers wear running shoes, sneakers, etc. The thick rubber soles dig into their shoulders, and I'm not referring to the hard bone part. I'm talking about the soft part where the neck and the shoulder meet. That is the part that will probably take most of the flyer's weight, and it is sickeningly painful, especially if you wear shoes like mine.
My running shoes, nikes, have sectioned soles. They act almost like studs. And they absolutely kill my shoulder stand bases who have narrower shoulders, or shoulders that slope, forcing me to stand closer to their neck than their shoulders. Cheers to those with broader shoulders. So, as not to kill them before I can do all my stunts, I'm investing in a good pair of cheerleading shoes. My mom was so sweet, she offered to sponsor me when I told her about it. But I won't be tricked, she's just looking to bribe me into getting better results. It was sweet of her, though. If I get those shoes myself, I'll probably take care of them a lot more. But if I do, my new phone will be slightly delayed. How?
Sigh. Swallow my pride and tell her it would be good if she could sponsor my cheerleading shoes?

I'll see what I can do.

9:46 PM;

I guess this is goodbye.

It's over, the game is up. it's cut clean.
I guess I hurt you, and I'm sorry.
I don't know if you're even reading this;
but I didn't say I'm sorry just now, and you might've thought I wasn't. But I am, terribly. I didn't mean for it to turn out this way.

Now we've both got to pick up the shreds of our lives and move on. Let go, and let God, I always tell myself. Now I say to you, too. Let go, and let God. This has been going on for too long, apparently. It's time to end it all. God can't heal your heart if you don't give Him all the pieces.

Discard this message. Throw this bottle back into the sea. Erase all the street signs. Delete all the phone numbers. Forget my name, my face. Forget who I was to you.

And I pray, I pray earnestly for one thing: sensitivity. For the both of us.

Ciao, goodbye, so long, goodnight.

2:15 AM;

I've blogged like thrice today. Was feeling pretty bad about myself when I came home. A little emo about some things. And I was positively horrible to Hansheng. Sorry, Hansheng! I didn't mean to be pissy to you.):
And it was hard to pull myself together. Well. Just talked to Debra quite a bit, and shared a bit. (: She was the sweetest. Sorrows are truly halved when shared, and joys doubled. Especially when you're talking to someone who shares the same sentiments as you. Thanks for talking to me Deborah <3

10:53 PM;

Four faces stare at me from the photo, and yours is the only one not smiling.
I wonder why?
I remember that night, you told me you were going out with them cause they'd asked you out, and I'd seen photos of that night afterward. And you drank, and they drank, and you'd all been happy.
You squint at the camera, like you can't get it in focus. Why do you always squint? Your lips are curved downward in a slight pout, your lower lip sticking out. I can't remember the last time you spoke to me from those very lips. How many months since I last heard your voice? You look at me, and I scrutinise the look on your face before turning away. As long as I can remember, we've been doing that. Our eyes meet, and the gaze is held for a split second before either one breaks the contact. I can look you in the eye, I can without feeling any guilt, but I'd prefer not to. The morning after, you woke up late. No, it wasn't a hangover. You never had hangovers. That night seems a million years away, now I think of it. How many years have I aged since you threw me away? This desolate feeling of emptiness is nauseating. My stomach roils. Clapping my hand over my mouth, I view the photograph again. Bad mistake. I run to the toilet and dry-heave above the white porcelain bowl. My stomach churns violently, and finally I feel release. I flush the toilet and wash my mouth, scrubbing my teeth harshly with the toothbrush. I return to my room and switch off without looking at the photograph that will provoke my stomach again.

The room swims in my line of vision.

I cannot help it, I couldn't stop it if I tried
The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside
And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain
Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?

Cause when there's you, I feel whole.
And there's no better feeling in the world,
But without you, I'm alone.
And I'd rather be in love with you.

7:26 PM;

Look to the past and remember and smile
And maybe, tonight, I can breathe for a while
I'm not in the scene, I think I'm falling asleep
But then all that it means is that
I'll always be dreaming of you.

Fate fell short this time,
Your smile fades in the summer.
Place your hand in mine,
I'll leave when i wanna.

6:26 PM;

so like yeah yesterday was super fun.(: woke up late.
met bryant and hendy at kap at one something, i think. we were supposed to study. i did try. i managed to finish quite a bit of our chem holiday homework. but still unfinished. then, jeff came, louisa came, tingzhi came, hansheng came, and keenan came. and we were like doing our nails. i helped jeff buff his nails until they were super shiny. hey, skill comes with experience! all the times when i was buffing my nails in class didn't go to waste, after all.(: i also helped him apply, like, cuticle oil. and louisa painted a few of my nails, but they weren't very even so i removed the polish (i'm soooo gnna miss my silver and gold southy manicure!) and tingzhi took over the job. the colors were pink and black, alternately. her painting's pretty good! very even. she did base coat, two coats of polish. no top coat because i think it was nice, like that. and the top coat was kinda cloudy. yeah. calcium gel or summat.
and then i finished buffing jeff's nails for him and louisa had to leave. and the rest of us went to suntec with bryant because he had bs and so we accompanied him. but in the end, tingzhi, jeff, keenan, hansheng and i went wandering aimlessly around millenium walk. and we found a dance studio. and yeah we walked around... um. after that, we walked to tower three to meet hendy and anna beth. all the way walking down there, i was walking with jeff and he was attempting to talk super bimbo-ish. he kept saying, "like," this, "like," that. and i was like, okay. we went to carl's junior to eat. i had their crisscut fries. they were pretty good, but i wasn't too hungry.
after that, anna beth left.): and tingzhi, keenan and hansheng went to cineleisure. and bryant, hendy, jeff and i went to, like, where? oh yeah. we went to sim lim. dropped hendy off at o school first for his dance class. and we began our journey to sim lim. super far! we walked from the esplanade to sim lim, can you imagine? i nearly died. i was wearing shorts and slippers! but it turned out okay. jeff had to find a guy to fix his lappy. and bryant was searching for speakers. and after that, i left. home, sweet home.(:

today, i woke up at twelve. and the whole house was empty! scary! i got online and talked to felicia, she told me to meet her at city hall so we could meet up with jeff at the esplanade library and do some mugging. so i did. and we walked over to the esplanade. and everything. and studied for a while. i finished more of my chem worksheets. after that, i had to leave about two forty five for bs. it was three at suntec!
edmund was late and i waited for him and we were like half an hour late for bs. so we waited at the church office and oh goodness we used the meeting room for bs. because no other room was free, i guess. and i felt like an exhibit, because the meeting room's mostly glass. and um yeah. after bs, eddie and i walked back to the esplanade. and we happened to meet hendy on the way.
jeff and felicia kept contacting me during bs to ask me to bring back food, so i called them. and i just happened to be passing marche, and i told them, so they asked for marche takeaways. (can you believe these two? they get their takeaways from marche) and i bought jeff a ham and cheese crepe (WHICH, BY THE WAY, JEFF, IS DELICIOUS WHEN IT'S FRESH, AND NOT PACKED IN A BOX LIKE YOURS WAS) and felicia a custard bun, and we went on our way.
so we met them at the esplanade library. and i found out that they' discovered my doodlings! *blush* cause i left my stuff there, you see. and um yeah. so i had to leave, cause daddy wanted me home for dinner. so i went home and had a delicious dinner (spaghetti fried with beef and carrots and mushrooms in a savoury sauce) and then went to meet hendy and bryant at lakeside. we went to this video ezy near bryant's to get movies, and then came back and watched them with jeff and beth. first, we watched house of wax. it was super thrilling. okay, it was interesting. but it made paris look even more like a you-know-what. and then we watched bring it on. and jeff and beth left): and now we're gnna watch legally blonde! i think.

byee!

2:33 AM;

so, like, today, bryant called me at twelve and woke me up. and he was like, "did you just wake up? we're on our way to KAP! come now, okay? okay. byee"

so i woke up properly, got ready and went down. met bryant and hendy there. and they were eating. haha. as usual. so i got out my english homework and attempted it. the readers' digest pilot pen awards 2006 essay writing entry. and i was like, stoning there because no inspiration! yah. then hansheng arrived. bryant and i went to cold storage to buy chocolates! we spent like S$6 in coins on sweets. hahaha. and he split while looking at the bottom shelf! hahahahaha was hilarious, i tell you. and then when we came back, we found our phones ravaged with a plague of photos! by the very evil hendy and hansheng. so we took revengeeeee.......((:
revenge can be soooo sweet,,

and inexplicably, we started talking about kids. oh goodness like we talked about all the kids we gnna have, and all the things we gnna do with them. and what we gnna do tgt and with them and all. and what houses are we gnna live in.. the places we gnna work in. things like that. we talked about it from king albert's to city hall. then we went to esplanade library and met jeff and felicia to studyyyy. again. hendy bryant hansheng and i went walking and i shoulder sat on hendy again! yay! he's super nice always lets me shoulder sit on him. and bryant and i ran away from them. haha it was so funny. and hansheng called. and we were like, okay, we'll go back. and we went back and found them and went back to the library and heard some guy yodelling and studied some more and went to marina and ate and went to the, um, mrt station. and omg

12:57 AM;

&i just realised that quite a lot of people go "RAHHHH" when they're angry.
weird, how my name is now a swear word.
hmmm.

12:57 PM;

i'm 42 kg now! 2 more kg to my goal. : D

standing at my living room window, i gaze at the 'park', as you christened it. trying not to remember, i look away. there is nothing outside the window that even remotely distracts me, and i let my gaze stray once again toward the familiar pathway. gray clouds grace the navy blue sky, and there isn't a star in sight. the clouds do not obstruct the moonlight, and the clear, full moon shines down, bathing everything in milky light. not a soul in sight, no one appears to distract me from reminiscing the very night of our first ____.

: D i'm doing my pedi tomorrow! with my mom. so glad i managed to talk to her some the other day about everything. and we didn't quarrel once, and everything was smooth sailing. she said she was proud of me for winning POS. (: and she wanted to hear all about it, which is pretty rare, for her. and she promised me a pedicure! : D when my mom's in a good mood is the best time to ask her for things. but i won't take advantage of her and ask for a new phone- or rather, i think she'd strangle me. i'm gnna get it on my own!

i wonder how long its gnna take.):

11:49 PM;

ahhhhh okay i am adding chevalier's phone model to my wishlist. it's kind of interesting. it slides, plays songs, um, has a 2 megapixel camera.. it's a three g phone. which means video calls! and everything. : D but i dnno. mum's prolly gnna kill me. or something similar.

postscript: and yes, i do realise my hot pink v3 is barely two months old. thats why i said mum's gnna come after my head.
but i do want a bigger memory. and being able to receive stuff. deborah's phone can't either, hers is a v3i. i think it's the razr family's problem.): everytime 100% sent alr, when i try to store it, it'll have a system error.

I WANT TO CRY ALR. EVEN MY PHONE WONT LET ME REMEMBER POS!

7:26 PM;

i can't believe it's been ten whole days since pos is over. sigh.
yesterday was so fun! haha. supposed to meet bryant, hendy, hansheng, nicky, anna beth, chevy to study at king albert's at eleven. but came at like one plus because i overslept.. whoops. so rushed down. brought my math holiday homework. and then. yeah. met chevy, bryant and hansheng there. "studied" for a while. then julie came. and we started eating and everything. yeah. went to cold storage twice. studying was pretty uneventful... went home, and kor was having cell group. bathed, changed and everything. packed and set off for bryant's! haha. hendy and louisa came to fetch me. was sniffling and coughing a lot. sigh. yes, i'm still sick.
reached bryant's house. anna beth, khoon fai, bryant were there. they were watching, um, the nine o' clock show. so we watched tv basically the whole night. heh. then bryant and khoon fai were trying to make anna beth split. i feel pain for her man): i tried also but still can't! my thighs still ache. sigh. and um. then chuan yu, chevy and nicky came. and then we just lazed around eating microwave-able popcorn and everything. then we watched! : D the world cup. okay, i was there mainly for the people. so i didnt pay much attention to the teevee. the guys' eyes were glued to the screen. so we watched until about three. and then we decided to rest our eyes. louisa and i were supposed to be in bryant's room, but by a twist of events we spent the night (morning?) downstairs on the living room sofas chatting. what we talked about would only be kept in those four walls, private and confidential. but we had a great time chatting. sharing session(: it was a tad embarrassing for a few of us. especially me.. haha. ummm. yeah. talked about a lot of things. in the end everyone fell asleep except for chuan yu, hendy and i. haha chuan yu and i were "text messaging". love that guy! haha., and he loves me too!
next morning, everyone woke up around ten thirty or later. i woke up with my head spinning. you know what? louisa uses this super strong solution to wash her contact lenses and i tried it.. and when i put it into my eye, i nearly screamed!!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS SO PAINFUL CAN????????????????????

okay lah, but i didnt use saline solution to wash the lens. that's why it turned out like that... oh and when i blinked my eye, it teared a hell lot. i could barely see out of it, i couldn't even open my eye. and it was puffy and rapidly reddening. that'll teach me to wash my lenses properly next time. and my eyes kept tearing! i put both lenses in, shut my eyes and walked to the living room. and kept blinking. finally, nick saved me by lending me his saline solution! yay i love him! and my eyes didn't hurt anymore! hahahaa. then.. had breakfast. and watched a bit of teevee. yeeahh that pretty much sums it all up. finally i'm at home resting. we tried to plan things today but someone had to go crash it all.

i wish we were more united. there ain't nobody better, that's a fact i can't deny. but come on, can't we all put things past behind us and have a great, final time tgt before we only meet for professional reasons again? come on, guys.

WHO ARE WE???? surely you know the answer to that by now.

5:57 PM;

i'm about to blog about the SOUTH PARTY at anna beth's yesterday! : D was great fun. okay.
at about one, i set off to meet bryant, nicky, hendy and chevy at clementi to go to anna beth's together to prepare for the partay. in the end, i had to go all the way back to tiong to get paint for one of the games. and then i cabbed down to anna beth's house from there because they totally pangseh-ed me and the guys went to hensa's house to abduct the trophy (teehee, THE TROPHY) and cabbed down to anna beth's cause the trophy was so heavy. so i cabbed down.
took awhile in the cab trying to find anna beth's block. hendy was waiting for me downstairs and we took the lift up tgt. then ..yeah. found them doing the water bombs. soooo i helped.(: fill, tie, store. fill, tie, store. andd... we did like a LOT. in the end they all exploded. sigh. come to naught? i think NOT, we had loadsa fun.(:
soooo they started arriving and we all stayed in anna beth's organising everything. and then we went downstairs w the water bombs!!!!! oh but we didnt play that yet. first, was the game called 'watch your step'. it's a game wherein everyone's split into two teams, and each person is given two balloons. they are then instructed to blow them up and then given three minutes to attach the balloons to themselves, and run around using any means possible to make sure their balloons aren't bursted by the members of the other team. and at the same time try to burst the other team's balloons. the first team was South1, and the other, South2. South1 won! their tactic was to have deborah and vanessa shoulder sit on hendy and nicky respectively. and they held balloons. so they were harder to reach. the forfeit for South2 was to have water poured over where they stood, fully clothed, in a pail. sooo that was like 8 people wet. next, we played this sumo wrestling game! the same two teams chose two guy representatives, and painted their faces to look like SUMO WRESTLERS. (ps. beth's idea. : D) and then they faced off.. and they sumo wrestled!!! hahahaha. Round one: South1's Hendy V.S. South2's Pinde. Round two: South1's Pengbo V.S. South2's Chevalier. (they tore into each other without hesitation. round one's sumos were politer.) and then forfeit again for the team which lost! hmmm. and then, the moment all the guys had been waiting for: WATERBOMBS.
i won't elaborate, but there was a lot of shrieking, yelling, splashing, hose-spraying, and pushing one deborah and tingzhi into the pool. and in the end the security came. see deborah and/or hansheng's blog for the full story, i'm kinda lazy to say. hahaha. then the girls went to anna beth's house to bathe. and the guys were despatched to the swimming pool's toilets, but in the end they went to chevalier's house to wash up. so there the girls were, in anna beth's, with keenan and kenneth and jeff. all washed and brushed, waiting for the guys so we could start dinner. we finished eating before they came, what the hell. lol.
and we ate and all, and lazed around the living space talking, chatting, playing musical instruments......
and finally we decided to play a game! blind mice. around like 915. chuan yu and jeff. super duper funny! and they led jeff to louisa. hmmm. and after that we all sat around in a circle and told spooky stories! : D fun. haha i think chuanyu's is the lamest! but suuuuuper funny. and then we went downstairs and played sparklers... that whistle! how cool is that??? lol i sound like...
okay, never mind. anyway. and we did the ribbon thing! hahahahaha and shoulder sat on hendy. and then we went back. was doing mass dance & girls' dance. and then we went back to anna beth's house. and lay around and talked. and hendy massaged people. woah its super duper relaxing. ahhh. he's got spirit fingers! LOL. okay. then we went to sleep. julie and i slept in anna beth's room.
the next morning, everyone breakfasted together.(: scrambled eggs, french toast, bread, sausage. anna beth's domestic helper is a fantastic cook, and so's her mom! then we lazed around a bit more. and then we cabbed to gelare to EAT! : D julie, anna beth, nicky, hendy, bryant and i. yumm. their waffles. (: and we went to watch 'the omen' after that. seriously, that is not recommended. the storyline is bleah. okay. thats it, i'm going to bed. (: <3 south

9:30 PM;

what can you say, now that you're away? you pretend we've never met?
"baby, i didn't mean to hurt you?"

i don't think so, sweetheart.

it's nearly five in the morning, and i sit here, still thinking about what could've been.

3:51 AM;

*shriek of epic proportions*

WE WON! WE WON!
" The winner for emerge 2005's Parade of Schools was South cluster. (much clapping and cheering from South) Who will it be this year?"

"And the winner is..." (many Southians hunched in their seats, clutching their neighbours' hands and/or biting their nails down to the quick.)

"Again, THE SOUTH CLUSTER!" (South cluster POSians erupt into screams and cheers, standing up on their seats and jumping, hugging and wildly sobbing into their neighbours' shoulders while their in-charge ran up to the stage, beaming, to collect the large trophy.)


i must admit, i did have my doubts about us winning, again. when i entered hall 8 on friday, my heart sank as i noticed the medal tally board that showed the clusters' points and the clusters' positions. south was last that day. north was first, then east, then west, followed by south. later that day, south moved up one place to third position.
on saturday, the medal tally showed south neck-to-neck with north. later, south moved up to first position. it stayed that way until the end of emerge, hallelujah.
this morning, south was in the first position still. all through the night session, south cluster POSians were on the edge of their seats with nerves. we cheered everytime south was mentioned. and finally, the time came to announce the winners of the various competitions. the Parade of Schools was last. by that time, south POSians were prolly starting to pee in their pants for nerves. they announced the secondary school category winner first.

how exhuberantly we praised after that! how wonderful the feeling of satisfaction felt! how, after the overall winner was announced (also south cluster for the secondary schools), even guys were seen sobbing unrestrainedly into a close friend's shoulder. not to mention the girls. i was trying not to tear for fear of smearing my make up. but i gave into my tear ducts anyway. we were milling around, hugging everyone and anyone from POS south cluster, feeling the sweet taste of victory yet again.

it's not just the S$800 marche voucher we were competing for, it was the relationships we constructed, the skills we picked up, the bonds that no one can break, the unconditional love radiating from our cluster members in such strong waves you can just feel it. that is what's the real deal, what you might have been telling yourself "marche, marche" might just come out as "south, south". how we come together as a cluster is oh-so-unique, different from all others. how we can be from such different schools (raffles, singapore chinese girls', saint joseph's, new town, tanglin, methodist girls', crescent, anglo chinese, saint theresa's, river valley...) yet get along so easily like we've known each other all our lives. how we bond and unite as a cluster inevitably is something no one will be able to explain. other clusters may think they are just as united as us, but no other can be. south is united, south loves all as Jesus loves us, unconditionally, with no strings attached. and south is so special in our own little ways. <3

that sense of satisfaction, that feeling that all the tears, pain, and practices had all been worth it, the glimpse of my cluster's toughest bases moved to the waterworks by everything, the sight of my cluster mates, a glimmer of something i couldn't quite place in their eyes, clutching the trophy and screaming victory-
that is something i will never forget.

2:54 AM;

oh, my goodness. *frantically fans self* i still can't believe we did it! south did it! we were so awesome onstage, if i do say so myself.(:

the last few days of practice, as quoted from anna beth, were an emotional roller coaster. things happened, things cropped up. people broke down, people had conflicts. there were times when i was flying halfway and i just burst into tears. like okay, my bases turned me left instead of to the right, and i didn't know about it, and i fell and came down and i gave them all an emotional earful. and then i cried.

but the amazing thing is that we really made things happen. so many people were doubtful about the day, saying that we were gnna screw things up like our preview. but we did it. we blew them all away. we put aside all our differences, all our disputes, and came tgt as a cluster, united, to do our thing.

just think. yesterday, we were on the stage at expo. and our music and everything was playing; we didn't do it all in time. and today, we have a few practices, we do everything magnificently. the dancers danced with so much energy, with smiles and everything, looking sharp; our bases were alert and did a great job, our flyers- check this out- did all our stunts without front supports! i mean, okay, for me personally, i couldn't turn in a liberty position without a front support. wait, i couldn't do a lib without front support. i couldn't do it from half extension anw. and now i can do lib and turn and arabesque without front support! i just managed the arabesque without front support today. and vanessa didn't practice that much, but her pop twist was sooooo great. AWESOME, NO?????: D our group is like, the best. (:

just what happened today: we came for pract at nine. i arrived at nine thirty- woke up late. came straight down. a little after that, went to changi to get silver nail polish with anna beth and vanessa, but they didnt carry it. so we had bk's breakfast instead. ohh i felt like sooo guilty after that.): then we practiced. and then we had some exchanging of words, a few tears- but then we prayed tgt as a cluster. and we had about fifteen minutes' of a prayer meeting led by hensa today. the flyers prayed together. the stunts people prayed together. i have this feeling we've done more praying within the cluster today than we've done in the days leading up to the performance. yeah. and deborah and anna beth and i were jumping around being nervous. lol. and it all turned out so awesome. i am sooo convinced now at the power of what prayer can do. it was more than perfect. impeccable timing, great energy, perfect balance (for the flyers) we looked good, awesome screaming, looked sharp, AND WHO WAS THE CLUSTER PASTOR KONG STOOD UP FOR?????????????? SOUTH CLUSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<3 south!
