I like singing myself silly, meaningful lyrics, red, baking, smileys, cakes, rum & raisins, taking long walks, observing people, reading, change of heart, baby blues, running, making new friends, lying down and watching clouds go by, chatting with friends, traveling around singapore, eating good food, glass jars, daisies, swings, daydreaming, going to places I've never been before, the smell of rain & anything pretty.
Here's to 1-1-11

2010 is ending so silently.
For the past year, things have been really different from 2009. I still had fun but it was more serious work with the endless muggin' for As, turning 18, planning for my future etc.
To be honest, I can't even remember how it started off like but I know it was all about HCNB then. HCNB is the love. I feel so lucky to have this bunch of team mates with me throughout the past 2 years. I remember how shitty the start was, with mel's never ending taunts, two separate cliques because we were so damn different, bloody tiring trainings, throwing balls till we couldn't even see it, BEEP TEST!!!! >( but not forgetting the fun -- secretly going for friendly with Mannas at Kallang and being spotted by Ms Lin (well, what luck, haha), sleepovers at oli's house, prank calls (I'll never forget this!), squeezing the 14 of us in a 7-seater, being dumped into the pool, one particular training that ended at 3pm we were starving like mad we headed to railway mall for subway, morning passes, throws and games, 大口!!!, zham ball, angel and mortal letters, lunches near school, street netball, game on, gossiping like mad (Y), crying during speeches (sry that one time I was just damn emotional, HAHA) ... the list is endless. Definitely, no regrets. To me our best achievement ain't the placings we got for 2009/2010, it was the rapport between us, the bond, the understanding, without which, any game on court would have been made impossible. This is what a team should be like. Love you guys a lot. (:
7G, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST CLASSMATES EVERRRRRRRR!!!! :D I love how we are so in sync for everything and we can go wild together, play hard and work hard. :D I rmb how studying for As was so tiring but knowing that you guys were out there at the same battlefield makes everything seem easier. & the support, I always have people who can help me in my work: all the smartasses like yf and tseyean, haha. I'm so proud to be part of this class! :D You guys are the one who show me that it was possible to connect with anyone and everyone! :D Love you guys, muacks! :D
H3 MATES (Okay, I know none of them will see this except for my classmates like my, but still!) I think we're a cool bunch okay! Tutorials and lectures are ever so entertaining and funny! :D Hahaha, love joking with you guys, talking plain crap, whining over how tough the questions were, niaoing ppl like melvin because he always score so high, our support for yunhao while he was out there playing while we were having tutorial, taking prelims and As together and all that. :D I'm so glad to have known you guys! (:
So here's to 2011. Perhaps 2010 wasn't much of a bomb, but I'm pretty sure everyone had experienced happiness, pain, regrets, joy, sorrow, anger, jealousy, envy and all sorts of emotions. With all that, 2010 was certainly well spent.

Ghosts from your past gonna jump out at me
{Thursday, December 30, 2010}
HCNB 2009/2010 LOVE YOU MANY MANY! :D So we had farewell today's at yuxuan's condo's function room and it was so different from last year because when we started our speeches, there were no adults around at all. Last year we had jiao lian so I guess everyone didn't really dare to say much but this year it was so free and easy. Just simply enjoying time together again and reminiscencing abt the past and gossiping HAHA.
Thanks juniors for the gift! It is so pretty I swear I will protect it will my life, love it a lot! (: It still feels very surreal; I realised that even with farewell, my heart will always be with HCNB forever and it's really heartening to know that we have come so far and achieved so much within a year. It's really the shit we've been through that brought us thus far. (I pray for jiemin that everything will be okay!!!) I want to watch IVP! :D (& hopefully char's bf will be there, lols!)
Headed to school for bball in the morning too, gosh it's been ages seriously, but I had fun even though it was really tiring! We played for 3hrs, gosh. (: Afternoon spent with team mates were lovely, haha it's been ages since we last hung out together no? Kbox outing soon pls, I promise not to spam Taylor Swift !(wl, I'm not a fan, I repeat, not a fannnnnn) :DDDD & maybe we shld just ask char, mel and siqi along hahah. :DDDD
Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain
12:21 AM
MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D
{Friday, December 24, 2010}
So I wouldn't be awake when christmas comes because I'm heading to Msia for a day tmr. Need to wake up at 5am, I think the last time I did that was when I was studying for As?! That seems ages ago! I really can't wait for sleepover, haha. :D Can't wait to see all my classmates! (:
So I looked through my archives -- I find them pretty useful at times -- today and saw my 2009 post on the year itself. It brought back a lot of memories and thinking now, 2010 was just really different. I didn't have much fun, but more like a different kind of fun. It was pretty serious in fact, being a senior and all that but I guess it was still good.
STJ was pretty fun, I got darker (dang the sun, honestly) and took photos. Pretty relaxing if only the sun wasn't that hot. Farewell next week, I can't believe I'm ending my HCNB journey, seems like yesterday when I just met Mel and her qianbian face, HAHAHA. & we're kinda screwed cause we haven't prepared our gifts? Haha. Shit.
These few days have been passing like a whirl. I thought time was supposed to pass slowly when you've got nothing to do! :O I'm way better now, recovered and I can singgggg (finally) so all's good. Well, until I wake up tmr. I always feel the worst when I just wake up. D:
So here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! (: Miss me! :D

Dear brain,
{Tuesday, December 21, 2010}
TYVM!!! for not failing me even after As! :D :D :D 超开心的!I mean, okay of course SAT subject tests are reasonably easy but still! Hahha, :D Yay, full marks for both! :D
& I'm feeling better now, haha I think I always feel better at night! Dance on thursdayyyy, yay! :D
7:57 PM
Well, what do we have here?
{Monday, December 20, 2010}
STJ tmr! Hope it will turn out well, although I still think my brownies ain't that great, haha. :O Long day tmr so I should be sleeping early but I don't feel like it.
My throat is hurting like crap. I mean its not hurting (it only hurts when I swallow), I just find it difficult to swallow and I'm feeling feverish but twice I took my temperature and twice it was 36.9 degrees. RAWR. D: Shall pop a panadol ltr or sth.
I think my brain is pretty slow too, these few days. D: Something is wrong, I'm degenerating. D: & broke. HAHA. What kind of life is this! But insofar, it's been awesome although I've yet to finish great expectations. See the link with my brain? D:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower sounds like a really cool book. I want to read it! (:
Yes, my life is pretty boring. Other than the fact that I've been shopping for the past 2 days. HMMMM. Actually, I can't wait for our sleepover! (:

5:24 PM
:O
Woke up earlier that I wanted to because I had another school-related dream. D:
This time it was worse than the dream I had the night before last night because it was about A level results! :O The night before I dreamt of a lot of schoolmates and and classmates and we were eating at a really big macs that isn't kap. Last night I dreamt that we were getting back our GP results (and only that subject!) and Dr Hon was announcing the names of those who scored C and below for GP to the whole school, starting from the back and I got a D! D: Please do not let it be true, it was so depressing! Our class happened to be sitting at the back so we couldn't really see what he flashed on the screen then later on I went to find him with yinhwee and glen to ask him if I could look at the paper personally. Then he asked me what's my name and he started being mean and joking around with me, stalling time and not letting me see the paper! D: Then in the end, when he let me see the paper I was so depressed cause there was another QW who got C and I was hoping it was me since I couldn't hear what he said clearly before that. At some point in time I even started thinking there goes my UK application because I've always had this impression that they want a C and above for GP! D: But majority of the school wasn't even affected cause they all got a B and above!
WHY DID I HAVE THAT DREAM! D: Pls don't come true!
Other than that, I'm still hoping I won't be dreaming every night I'm sleeping. All I want is a good sleep tyvm!

This is how you define 'eventful'.

TODAY HAS BEEN UP AND DOWN I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN ON A ROLLERCOASTERRRRR!
Okay, so I started my day going crazy trying to find sth that didn't even exist. I thought I misplaced my Oct SAT report but turned out I didn't even have it. It was really ultimate FML cause I really felt like tearing already, I started losing faith in my ability to keep things cause normally when I misplace sth I still know where to look for it but today was ultimate madness! Halfway through I was hallucinating and imagining it at places it was never at before. I mean, if I've nvr had it, I must have been hallucinating all these while! I couldn't believe I wasted 2 hours doing that! -.-
Then I headed to QR's hse and met with jing so we baked! :D Love the apple pie even though nothing I brought back is presentable now. HAHAHA. But yes, the chocolate molten cake was good but the 2nd batch was overbaked so no more molten, ah dang! But yes, I'm gg to try making the apple pie next time. & qr's kenwood is damn awesome (& ex pls), if I'm rich I'll get one zomggggg. Of course I'll never be rich enough to do that, hahah. FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
So then we headed to some ulu place for the converse warehouse sale and we got a pair each. Yes I love my shoes! :D I think the funniest thing was how we walked 1 round HAHAHA, SHIT I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE DID THAT, so we left the place, walked 1 round around the building and went back to the same spot. To make it worse it was drizzling and we were sharing an umbrella cause I was too lazy to open mine and hers was spoiling HAHAH. WTH, WE DAMN AWESOME LAH.
Then we headed to J8 for dinner and I felt like a noob cause cotton on changed so much and I haven't been there for 2 years! Walked around and went to faceshop so I could prove to her that the green nail polish was no longer sold (HAHAH) and then we went home. Halfway through the trip we played unblock me while being brain dead, took damn long to solve 1 puzzle, haha, DAMN FAIL.
Now that Nat is back, I want my hendersons waves date! :D
Life was pretty boring last week except for prom. (My daisy is still alive, I'm starting to think its fake, HAHA) I've been constantly bombarded with apps and scholarship since then, it's never ending. Makes me half wishing that A levels never ended. HAHA. What an idea.
Haven't gotten a job, another trouble. Rawr. Seems like the whole world is employed except me, so now I look like some pig/宅女 who stays at home either playing, house-ing, sleeping, or apping (I really hate this part).
Need to go to school to pick up a couple of stuff too, but since I graduated I shouldn't be required to wear school-related clothes right? HAHA.
But so far, life certainly is still rocking, I can't complain. I mean, look at the people who have to do holiday homework now! And their holiday is ending, HAHA. :B
HUIKINNNNNNNNNN, QUICK WE NEED TO PLAN STJ before the juniors kill us! (& go hendersons waves but nat is nowhere to be found -.-)
Okay, slacking a bit more before I start on my Upenn supp which I've been draggin' for days. T.T

{Saturday, December 11, 2010}
That day I finally watched Sherlock Holmes and I was so disappointed. Here's why:
They totally screwed the Adler story! I've always loved the story on Adler because it's really cool, it's the one time Sherlock Holmes was outsmarted (even better, by a woman!) and failed to get back the photograph of the King and Adler.
Adler is not a criminal!!! She's a really smart lady who ended up marrying a guy she loves and they lived happily ever after, with her promising to keep the secret safe.
Robert Downey Jr. isn't a good Sherlock Holmes. He looked stupidly drunk and violent and I didn't like the way his wit was being portrayed. And he didn't say a single "Elementary, my dear Watson". He is so not Sherlock Holmes, I read every single story so I should know the guy in and out!
Jude Law is cute but too irascible to be Dr Watson. Watson is supposed to be absolutely patient and interested in Holmes' workscope (that's how the stories usually start because Watson related them) but he wanted to get out of it in the movie so that he could go propose to the girl he likes. -.-
So I've concluded, if you're as slow as me and haven't caught the movie, watch it only if you haven't read Sherlock Holmes much and only knows he lives at 221B Baker Street. Otherwise, spend your time wisely (even though you have a lot now!).
Okay, shall stop procrastinating and finish what I aimed to! (: My nose is blocked and my ears are kind of blocked, going to get pissed about it soon, >(
Baking date (Y)! Still haven't found the recipe, HAHAHA.

Hello QIANWEN, when are you going to get your priorities right?
Rawr, time to pysch myself up. If I could handle that, I can handle anything. Actually, seriously, FML. ): Must keep thinking about the future, yesssss. At season 2 of house now!

"There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is --- in fact --- a Great Wall of China with armed sentries posted every 20 feet between love and hate"
Started watching House last night and I'm kind of hooked. It's really interesting to learn more about the different diseases and their symptoms and it's all fun, no stress kind of learning so it's been awesome. And I think Dr. House is really cool. :D
I'm contemplating changing my blogskin, we all know why the colour theme is this, (this whole blue and red thing) so I figured if I want a new start, this is where I should start. But since I've never been artistically talented (Bs all the way for Art in Pri School except in P3/4 where I had this teacher who believed in purple moons), I haven't got any idea on what do. No drastic change most likely, but I want different colour theme, perhaps something more vibrant? Truth to be told, I still like my previous one a lot but I reckon no one remembers how it looks like already, haha.
Prom tomorrow, not really excited, I think it's just going to be a spammage of photos and girls hoping that no one wears the same dress as them! Hahah, but I guess it'll be fun? (:
This morning I saw this really old couple but they were really sweet. The guy looked a bit blind but he was grasping the hand of the lady and they were holding their hands so tightly, taking small steps because they couldn't walk properly, and he was just leading her. You could feel this protectiveness for her and it was like no one else mattered, they were just in their own world, walking patiently. It was really sweet to see a couple being so close after so many years.
Okay, adios, back to house! :D

你可以不喜欢我,我求你,你不要伤害我的孩子。

I don't know why I'm spamming all these when no one is probably gg to watch them and no one will come once they know my future posts are all going to be like that but !!! Just cried again from this scene, I'm really v teary, but I think their acting's awesome that's why I can feel the emotions all over again. Honestly, RJT's acting is v good here! (:
Rotting at home tmr, (Y)! :D

Don't watch this if you intend to watch 命中注定我愛你!
This still makes me tear (last time it was a packet of tissue, HAHA) every single time I watch it, seriously considering rewatching this! (:
& this marks the start of my rotting at home. I think I'll finish my book later and sleep like a pig. Sounds really awesome. (:
1:30 PM
Now I'll never know
{Thursday, December 02, 2010}
It's over. Just like that.
Seems so surreal and everything in the past has been flashing in my mind for the past few days. All the transitions that have occurred so quickly; guess the earth never stops rotating for anyone. After looking at how our seniors' lives have been after As, I've been wondering how I want it to be.
Come today and I realised yet another thing of the past that I can't revisit. For the past 2 years, I think the realisation that when I let loose of the routines I can't get them back hit me the hardest. & precisely because of this, flashbacks just keep happening time and time again when I see something. It makes me just stone and stare for awhile. I guess that's why memories are the scariest, sometimes they just make you hold on to the past so dearly, you can't move on.
But this is the next stage of my life. And it can only get bigger and better.
I find it ironic that before As all I was wishing for was some time to rest but now I find resting a waste of time? It's like there's so many things to do, I've got to be doing something everyday. It's tiring but I never fail to procrastinate my sleeping hours.
But for now, I just want to go to some grass patch, lie down and watch the clouds move. & perhaps do all the things I've been doing before studying took over my life.
Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know I can't even breathe It's like I'm looking from a distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now This can't be happening to me This is just a dream
11:46 PM
It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background
{Wednesday, December 01, 2010}
Going to bed so that I'll be ready for the last battle. Can't believe it, but it's really going to be overrrrr! (:
