the winter had passed and the spring has come

Quick update on the many weeks that passed. I love my current diary now 'cause I'll write down the more "significant" stuffs on them and no need to recall. Memory improve! Haha! Or rather, reliance on my diary. SJ diary! Haha!

Orientation was 31th Jan to 3rd Feb! Really felt the AC spirit again. Haha! It's quite nice I guess. Seeing all the kids playing and cheering. But ok, I don't really like this batch of J1s. I think some of them are nice but I dunno, some are really just annoying. Or maybe it's just us old J2s. Haha! Stayed back on 2nd day to take photos of the mass rally and games! Quite fun to see them all having fun. =D And I managed to photograph them. =) I knew I wanted to take photos of orientation since my orientation when I saw the seniors taking photos. So yes! I like it. Just that hmm.. I think I'm still not daring enough. It takes practice I guess. And thick-skinned-ness and daring. LOL!

Stayed for Orientation Campfire with YL, Lingli and Joyce! Support Sharon's and Junyuan's dance performance. =D Campfire wasn't as fun as last years' but good enough. Haha! Just that we are old pple already. Heh. But ok, I think last year was still more fun. And not as warm somehow. Take photos and lie on the track after that. School at night is quite pretty. =) And the stars all is just amazing. Lazy to post the photos here. Haha! But yep, I had fun with them. =D

Dinner with Feli, Brendan and Sweden on 4th Feb! Nothing special lar huh. =D But yes, seriously want to go out with Agents. Like just go out go out. Not just for dinner. It's damn annoying how we can't go out go out. Freak busy and clashing schedules. -_- We suck man.

5th Feb went for BBCO Concert with Jiawan to support Kamin! I liked some performances but got a bit bored with some. Heh. Yes, I felt a little sleepy. =D Oh well.

And ya!!!! While waiting for Kamin, this woman came to interview Jiawan and I. Super funny man. I realise I cannot help glancing at the video camera every time. I'm usually the one behind the camera so I never really felt it before. Now I think those pple who can avoid glancing at the video camera are rather pro pple. Haha!

Spam photos with Jiawan after that! That girl lar! Haha! Wanted to spam photos 'cause she said she never took photos for a long time. Super funny. But yes! Had fun and enjoyed my time with her! =) We bought Kamin flowers too! And we were on time for the concert~ HAHA!

The following week, 6th Feb to 12 Feb was rather a horrible week. With damn annoying stuffs almost everyday. Ended with Photog Outing to Little India and it was quite fun actually. Though yes, I want to go back there one day just to take photos. As in I went there just to take photos but with my bloody school bag and stuffs. I want to go there with just my camera bag and shoot! It's more relaxing and I will be more daring when I'm in outside clothes and not school uniform. Seriously hate wearing school uni to take photos. Had dinner with Photog pple and enjoyed my time with them, playing all the Mind-F quizzes. Seriously super mind-F. I should try on pple!!!

Had OCIP gathering on Saturday! With just Shaun, Max, Jordan, Yanxun, Joanna and Me. LOL! Quite fail lar but had fun nonetheless! They are really nice pple to talk to and just have fun with. You can really strike a nice conversation with them somehow. Supposed to play LaserTag!!!! Was looking forward to it lar! But the bloody shop pple. Quite annoying. Ended up bowling. And yes! My score was surprisingly alright. I think? LOL! I kinda forgot already. OK, it sucked. But oh well. And ya! I really don't get how some pple can just bowl so well. LOL! As in seriously man. Maybe it's just me. Haha!

V Day on 14th Feb! Sort of mentioned about it already so I'm lazy to say. Just that maybe next year I shall bake for pple! If I have an oven and if I learn how to bake. Heh. Actually, can just follow recipe and of course, I still need my mama beside me. =D Sharon, Joyce, Yl and Lingli baked cupcakes for us and the whole class! It's nice!! =DDD And Feli baked brownie! Haha! It's good! It's just how awesome I get so many food on Vday for free~ =D I like! Haha!

Lovely girls who made V day so awesome. =D

Went to Bishan to meet Faeqa! Haha! My date for V day. =D We were yes, annoying each other that day. Tsk. We got no life lar. Haha!

Thursday 16th Feb is Puiling's birthday!!! My dear crazy wacky girl. =D Supposed to surprise her but kinda failed. And actually, it's quite a failed surprise lar. Haha! But yes, it still felt nice meeting her and Qiaofen after so long! Seriously miss them super duper lot. And though it was a really short time spent with them, I still like it a lot. Whenever I meet them, I really feel happy and free and I dunno. This comfort level that is just the awesome. Must meet up soon!!!! Miss going out with them. Gahhhh =( If Qiaofen didn't move to the east, it would be easier to meet up. =\ But it's still awesome how distance isn't really a problem. As in yea, LOL! We can't meet often but everything feels the same whenever we meet up. And ya!! Qiaofen made us hooked to this China drama!! It's really quite nice!! The Scarlet Heart. Bu Bu Jing Xin. =D It's showing on Channel 8 currently. I'm like watching from Channel 8 and from the first few episodes. Haha! Yes, I'm lost. Maybe I'll chiong aft terms. =D

Photog Welcome Tea on Friday! =) The J1s who came are rather enthusiastic. Most likely we will be accepting most of them? Might as well kinda thing. Haha! Talked to some of them and they are real nice pple. Quite funny also. Haha!

Went to Botanic Gardens early in the morning on Saturday for this SYA workshop with Clara, Nadia and Christine! Heh, I was late. I'll blame the bus but yes, I know it's still my fault lar. The workshop was rather good I guess. Just that I was in a tired, lazy mood to shoot much. It's Botanic Gardens. Ok lar, I'm just not very interested in shooting trees and flowers. Give me pple and landscapes and more interesting things? I realise yea, I have quite short patience. Haha!

And we all turned up in something blue coincidentally! Super cool. =D

Went to study with Jiesi after that! Feli and Sweden joined us! Stayed with Feli for dinner though it was more of me complaining to her about stuffs. Haha! It's amazing how we actually see each other everyday but there are like a million things for us to talk about still. Ok, maybe 'cause it's stuffs that we can't really tell the whole world about. Yes lar, seriously thankful to have her around somehow. No matter how freaking annoying she can be sometimes.

Ok! I shall post more about Chingay, Airshow, Mag's farewell and whatever else random stuffs next time!

And yes!! The title of this post is from a song. Blue by Big Bang! Seriously, they are good. The first time you hear it, you may not like it straight away. But after hearing it more. It gets into you and somehow, it becomes a song that is stuck in your head, in a good way. And the lyrics are really beautiful too. Big Bang is really quality Korean band!!

But of course, Super Junior is still the best. =D YA!! I missed their SS4 concert. =( But yes yes, it was my decision not to go. I shall watch the concert video next time. =D But seriously, I think they are really still the best. Haha! As in yea, aiya, ok, I think I should go sleep instead of fangirl-ing. Haha! But yes! They are awesome~! =D

Titanium - David Guetta Feat. Sia

Been a while since I posted. Been a while since I used to comp actually. Since my phone is easily accessible. =D So many stuffs happened since forever. Haha! I didn't actually update my week since well, my birthday. Haha! Seriously too much stuffs to blog about already. But yep, I can still remember what happened so I will post selectively. Heh.

Anyway, yea, I'm posting now 'cause hmm.. been feeling this for quite awhile and it's bugging me and I know it. But I don't know what to do about it. I really don't like how sometimes pple can totally disregard whatever you say in an sms when you send to that person. How pple will just ignore whatever you just mention and continue to talk about her own life. Yes true, maybe you have a lot of things about your life that you want to say. But I told you something; at least acknowledge it and give me a decent reply. Will you like it if I just disregard everything that you say? The thing is, it's not just a one time thing. And it's not just one person. Maybe my life is too boring for pple to care. But still, at least I bothered to even type out and send it to you. The least you could do is acknowledge it and give me a decent reply. Or don't reply at all. Ok, actually don't reply is annoying too. But if you reply, but you totally didn't mention one word about whatever I just told you, then what for you reply?

Makes sense right? Sometimes, that's why I don't texting pple. They will just ignore whatever you just said. Actually, the worse part is when they actually replied you but talked about themselves and ignore whatever you have to say. I'm not asking for all the attention. I'm just asking for you to actually make me feel that you do care about my life too. That our conversation is not just about you. It's not as if I didn't try to tell you about my life. It's just that you don't seem to bother at all about it. I know you do. But seriously, the smses don't show at all. It's getting tiring. It makes me not want to tell you anything.

But the thing is, I still want to tell you. Yet, it always makes me feel down when you don't seem to bother about my life at all. It makes our friendship just about you. I'm not saying that you must and should care about me always. There just got to be a balance. Me hearing everything about you, I'm not complaining. I know that I'm really a person that you can rely on and I want to be the friend you can always count on. But let me be able to count on you too.

I'm not giving up here. I just feel tired I guess. And I know that I should say it out. But I really don't know how to. Hmm.. I just hope that somehow, things will get better. It's really a feeling where you tell everything to a person and the only reply you get from everything that you said was, "Ok, now let's talk about me again.". At least give a proper response of some sort.

That's why I like to talk to people face to face better. That's why I rather talk on the phone than to send sms sometimes. That's why I choose to ignore my phone sometimes rather than stay with it throughout. That's why being alone sometimes isn't that bad. You don't need to care about others. You can just think about yourself. Alone time to think about yourself. Though yes, I admit that sometimes, I'll rather think of others than myself 'cause yes, I do runaway from my problems and troubles. And thinking about others' problems just take your mind off your own.

Am I bulletproof? I want to be. But being too strong on the outside makes you very weak inside. And once something penetrates inside, you are gone.

On a side note, it will really be cool if I can go to the airport with just my passport, credit card/money and camera, buy a plane ticket to a random place, and just go off. Without any worries, nothing. Hmm.. I'm not sad now. Haha! I think I sound sad somehow but yes, I'm not. It's just a thought.

And I know that I have family and friends who I can truly rely on. People who will actually hear me. Actually, no one ever listen to me. Lol! As in seriously. Every time I say some stories they will just ignore me. Annoyance asses. But yes lar, I know that they will still be there if I really need someone to talk to. Most of the time, I just need to talk to a person to figure out everything. The person doesn't need to say anything, no need to give any advice, but I will feel better talking it out. And I will actually come to a conclusion aft I talk it out to the person. Haha! All I need is just for them to listen and agree with me. Lol! That's such a simple job for them lor. But yes, I'm a naggy person so they have to hear a lot. And they always hear me repeating the same things. But yes, I love them so much for continuing to listen to me even though they feel like killing me. They the best. =)

single on valentine's day is cool =D

What is the color of love?

G-dragon: Fluorescent color. Even if you’re around by a lot of people, the person you love will stand out.

Sweet right? Haha! I'm no big fan of G-Dragon but I like Big Bang and what he said is so sweet and pretty much true.

So today is V day! My friends are the ones in fluorescent colours. =D Haha! Yes, was spotting pple whole day long to give them chocolates. Haha! But yes, I really love the atmosphere in AC during Valentine's Day. It really makes you want to celebrate too. Haha! But yes, I think V day isn't just a day for couples. It's a day for family and friends. Single or not, family and friends are still your loves ones no matter what!

For me, Valentine's Day is really a day for me to show my appreciation to my family and friends. =) And I really like doing it somehow. Buying stuffs for pple, making cards and stuffs for pple. I really would have bake if I had more time and if I'm good at it too. Next time! I can just bake any random day if I really feel like and give them to my loved ones. You don't need to show how much you love them only on Valentine's Day.

And it's so funny how different 2 of my attached friends are. Lingli and her boyfriend are damn sweet can! Eesiong went to get flowers, bear and balloon for her! How sweet! Haha! Then she nearly lost the balloon. We were all trying hard to get the balloon down. Super joke. And then Feli and Sweden. HAHA! They are the best lar! Sweden never buy anything. Tsk. But yes, he cooked for her. So, sweet enough lar! But yes! Love these 2 couples. Funny couples. Haha! Aha, I've always wanted to go to a friend's wedding. Heh. =D

I spent quite a lot on Valentine's this year but this is really the first time I spent for Valentine's so yes! And it may be the only year. Haha! Depends on next year. Most likely I might still prepare stuffs next time! It's quite fun actually. Haha! Once a year lar. =D Got awesome food from pple! Haha! Wanted to list out but I'm too lazy to do so.

And yes! I'm not say damn proud to be single on a V day but I don't really care about it. The thought that I'm single on valentine's day never really crossed my mind until pple said it. Spending v day with my friends is awesome enough! Actually, it's just like any other day but nicer 'cause we get food and random stuffs. Haha! Aiya, I will find someone someday. Lol! Even if I don't, I will still survive. =D

But of course I still want to be able to see someone in fluorescent colour in a crowded room. Like for that split moment, time just stands still and that person is the only one you see out of the many people. Haha! It really sounds like some movie scene but it will be damn cool when it really happens. =D Oh well, a girl can and should dream. =D

Eunice, you better don't quote from here hor. It's damn lame. -_- And this girl is damn retarded. I told her I wanted a mini lightsaber 'cause she made a mini lightsaber for her OG kids using ice cream sticks and it really glows in the dark! They used glowing paint or something. FREAKING COOL! Then she lost her paint or something so she coloured the ice cream stick with highlighter. HAHA! Joke right? =D Lol. I'm like revealing all her retarded acts on my blog. =D

Anyway, went to meet Faeqa aft that~ We were both in an annoyed mood. Damn retarded lar. Haha! Waste time arguing nonsense. =D

Alright, I think I better go alread.! Shall post again when I'm free!


I feel like watching One Tree Hill again. GAHH. Ok, must control.

one and eight

I love how annoying my friends will be when I keep taking photos of them and not of myself. And they will force me to take photos so that I am part of the photos as well, and not just solely a photographer without any photos of herself.

Ok! So I decided to just post one more abt my birthday or else I won't get anywhere in updating my blog with other stuffs. Lol! Wanted to wait until I receive 2 more stuffs but oh well, I can still post those again next time. =D

So yes, I wasn't looking forward to being 18 years old somehow. The only thing I'm excited for is learning how to drive, which I still have to wait until after A levels. -_- And for once, I really wasn't looking forward to my birthday at all. I used to be last time! And I truly didn't expect anything to happen. Like my friends wouldn't have time to celebrate with me and all 'cause I knew they were really busy so it's not their fault. So yep, I was just telling myself, don't expect anything and just you know, it will be a normal day.

But yep, I guess I was so wrong. Haha! 18th birthday was really a memorable one. All my life so far, I have quite a few birthday parties. I think lol, I actually like to hold birthday parties when I was younger. Haha! Not to receive presents and all but just be able to hang out with your friends and family on your birthday. It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Haha! As you get older, somehow, you just don't care that much about your birthday anymore. But yes, I'm freaking hell thankful that I have incredible friends around who still tries and wants to make my birthday a memorable one, even if I don't really care abt it myself.

Ok, I don't get why I actually mention abt birthday parties but ANYWAY, so yep! This birthday was one which I realise who are the friends who really matter and who are the ones who doesn't matter as much. It's really during your birthday you realise such stuffs. Or maybe this year's one somehow. Every birthday, I'll always have a different revelation. HAHA! Sounds funny but yes. This birthday, I realise which friends are truly important and which friends are just like that. Haha! Which I guess, it's really a good thing. 'Cause there are some friends who I thought are pretty important to me but they aren't actually. But yes, those who I knew all along that are damn freaking hell important to me, I wasn't wrong about them. =D

Thankyou daddy and mummy for squeezing in some little time that they had to spend time with me on my birthday. Thankyou sis for the awesome Super Junior diary and the SS3 DVD. Haha! I should mention more about this. My dear sister is freaking cute lar. She felt bad for not getting tickets for me for SS4 so she bought the SS3 DVD for me plus the diary. Though I think she did have the intention to buy, even if it's not for me, she still gave both of it to me as my birthday. Love her man. But heh, being the incredibly annoying little sister, the first thing I said to her when she gave those to me was, "You have a lot of money ar?" Wah, I think I'm damn bad. LOL! But of course, I still did thank her a lot. Haha! Just that you know, I'm really genuinely concerned about her income. She spent damn lot lar. Spendthrift is not in her name. She spend most on food as well and on friends and all. She's actually just like me but then her clothes-wise, they are all expensive. At least my clothes are generally still not that expensive.

Thankyou Faeqa, Felicia, Jiesi, Guodong and Changhui for the early morning bus stop surprise. HAHA! Failed but I was still touched to see you guys. Actually, I think it's 'cause it's morning so you know, reaction time is lagged and all. And Swapna for wanting to be there but couldn't since she was sick! Weiying, Kenneth and Enming too! They couldn't 'cause it's really not convenient for them!

Thankyou Faeqa and Felicia for the hairband and annoying annoying balloon. I love you guys so much for choosing things that you know will annoy me for the rest of the day to give it to me at the start of the day. -_- You guys are so nice. But okok, don't say I don't appreciate hor. Sheesh. It's just me to complain since it really did annoy me.

Thankyou Brendan, Sweden and Junyuan for the Clementi surprise. Haha! They the best lar. Totally failed surprise. =D But yes, I love it that you guys gave me the string thing instead of a bloody board. That, I thank you guys. Haha!

Thankyou Eunice, YL, Lingli, Sharon and Joyce for the cakes and the scrapbook thing and cupcakes and everything else! The 2 surprises and getting caked TWICE. Ok, the getting caked part I'm not thankful for lar. It's freaking gross. As in seriously. But yes, I really feel lucky to have good friends like you guys in AC. Makes me feel happier going to school!

Thankyou Felicia, Weiying and Faeqa for eating lunch with me despite all your busy schedules. Listen to 2NE1 song and sing it to yourself. HAHA! 'Cause you guys are really the best. =)

Thankyou Kamin for eating dinner with me! Your first impromptu dinner outside. =D Still love meeting up with you and seriously man, though we text almost everyday, it's still nicer when I meet up with you and talk to you face to face. Sms just gets annoying sometimes. Haha!

Thankyou Weiying, Jiesi, Nisa, Kamin, Brendan, Junyuan, Sweden, Jordan and Allinda for the birthday cards/letters! And soon to receive cards from Qiaofen, Puiling, Faeqa and Felicia! Yes Felicia Sim owes me a card since my 17th birthday. Sheesh. This one better be good hor! Tsk tsk.

AHH!! I miss going out with Qiaofen, Puiling, Jiesi and Feli! Damn long since we had girls outing. =( We should meet up soon! And Agents also! We did meet up last week except without Junyuan. Sheesh. Damn hard to find a day where all 5 of us are free. And I realise how Brendan's schedule really clashes with us super lot. Oh well, after April, it might be easier. Haha! We need to go eat at the place I want to go eat at!!!!

Thankyou Clara, Nadia, Xinxing, Christine, Cara and Jeshen for the tumblr! Heh, it's damn cool how every year, I'll get a new waterbottle. Haha! Damn cool. =D Having these pple around in Photog Exco makes CCA awesome. =)

Thankyou all those who wished me happy birthday. =))) Be it sms, Facebook or in person. The fact that you bothered, it's just great lar! Haha! But of course, those who genuinely wanted to wish me are the more awesome ones. Heh. It's really true what. Some pple just wished you for the sake of it but there really are some who genuinely want to wish you. They are the ones who matter too. =)

So yes, thankyou all the incredible pple in my life. =) And yes, special thanks to my family. And my really awesome close friends. You know who you are and I know who you are, so yes! I'm really proud to say that I know who my true friends are. The ones who I'll keep in contact with for a many years to come. =)

I think this blog post isn't as nice as it was supposed to be but heck it man. I'm already 18. Haha! Don't ask me how it actually links. I think I'll really have fewer time for my blog. Life is getting pretty busy and last week, I seriously felt it. Super sad.

But yes!!!!! I CAN DO IT. =D

when your grandmother sings happy 18th birthday to you

This is a bad photo but oh well, it's using iPhone so whatever lar. Haha!

Yep, when your grandmother sings happy 18th birthday to you, you'll realise how incredibly lucky you are. =)

That's how I felt that day. It was 29th Jan! 2 days after my birthday. Was supposed to celebrate it with my other cousin too but they couldn't make so we just celebrated with my grandma and my 2 aunts. =)

And ah!! My grandma so cute. She sang happy birthday to me in Chinese. =D My sis took a video of it! Bet it's super hilarious. Haha! She damn cute lar! =D

Yep! This really made my 18th birthday complete. I think yes, I'm really lucky to have such incredibly wonderful people around me. And I won't take them for granted. Ok, I know there will be times where I do. It's kinda inevitable not to do it but yes, I will really do my best to treasure them and spend time with them when I can. And yes, by people I mean family and friends! Somehow, I really need to juggle time spend with all of them equally somehow. Plus my studies. It sucks that when weekends come, you have to catch up on all the work, plus spend time with family and friends. Gah. 2 days are seriously too short.

There is still one/two more posts about my birthday. HAHA! Okok, I know my birthday has passed long ago and I should accept that I'm older now and just move on, but I still want to thank those awesome pple in my life. =D And also yea, just mention about turning 18. Heh. Oh well, see if I have the time first. Time is so annoying.

CNY~

Fireworks my granduncle in Malaysia bought! Super pretty and nice. =)

Haha! I know CNY is super long ago but oh well, I shall still post. =D

So day one! Went to my paternal grandmother's house as usual. And spent loads of time with my dear cousins. =DD And yes, they make me smile so much. Haha! Seriously love meeting up with them and just do crazy stuffs and enjoy. CNY eve, I went to the playground to play catching with them. HAHA! And I came to realise that I am older now. LOL! No longer have the energy to sustain but oh well, I'm still good at hiding. HAHA! But yes! I really love spending time with them. It's like really during CNY where we can spend time with each other for the whole day. =)

The younger sisters wore dress! Haha! Yes, I'm not the tallest anymore. Qiqi is now the tallest! She's like this super tall long stick. Skinny like mad. Both of them are pretty girls!! =))) haha! I have pretty cousins~ =D

And of course this super naughty boy. Haha! He is one lucky kid 'cause I practically documented his own life with photos since he was born when I started to love taking photos. Haha! So yes, his 12th/16th/18th/21st birthday, I am going to make a video for him! =D See how much he grew. He is currently 7 going to 8 years old. Super old already!

And my aunt!! =)) She is one aunt who I really cannot imagine what will happen if I lose her. She's really getting older but yes!! I know she will be strong and I miss her suddenly. Lol. Just thinking about her makes me really want to spend more time with her.

At night, we wanted to catch a movie initially. Haha! It became sort of a tradition to watch movie on CNY day 1. Haha! Or rather, my cousins and I like it. 'cause we can spend more time together. =D Anyway, so yep, we went to check out the tickets too late so we couldn't find a place to fit all of us. So we went to River Hongbao instead!

And lol, I didn't know it was at Marina Bay. Haha! So yep! we went there and took photos! My dad ar, he the best lar. Damn excited with taking photos using his iPhone 4S. Super joke. I think I should download photography apps for him. Bet he will be like addicted to his phone. Haha!

Yayy!! My favourite photo. =) Just that my grandma's face is super funny. Haha! I love how cute we all are to bring a chair with us for my grandma. =D The only grandma who has a personal chair to sit when we go out. =) She didn't want to go out at first but I think since we all were going, she decided to go too. Love her so much. She's really an incredible woman. I think I really know quite a lot of incredible women. Lol! Both my grandmothers, my mum, my aunt, my sister (She's turning 21 this year so I consider her as a woman lar. =D). Aspire to be as awesome as them. =)

But yes, I really want a family portrait of everyone there. But I guess, we are lucky that at least we had one full one. =)

CNY day two! Didn't take as much photos 'cause I guess I was kinda lazy already. Lol! Had the usual awesome food at my maternal grandparents' house! I really am going to learn cooking from my grandmother after A levels. Dunno why this year I have the cooking feel. Haha! Dunno if I'll succeed but yes! I will try!

Went to Malaysia after that! Had to bring my annoying GP package along. Yes, I actually read it. Wahh I think I'm damn guai. HAHA!

Anyway, so yes!! This kid!

I love her man!! She's super cute. I think she's my cousin. LOL! Long-distance one. My granduncle's son's daughter! So yep! My cousin! She's super hyper and talkative and damn cute lar. I would have played with her more if I didn't read my stupid package. She saw me highlighting all so she asked if she could draw also. Super cute!! Gahh, it's really times like these when you see such cute kids that make you really want to have your own kid. I seriously love kids at the toddler age. Where they can talk and say all super cute stuffs and are just so small and cute. Though they will run around A LOT, they are still cute. And they have this naughty side to them at this age. Damn cute lar!!!

At night, my granduncle went to put up the fireworks! And my dad is some enthu-kid that went along to play with big fireworks. Haha! He damn joke lar. Seriously ar, I love how cute my parents can be sometimes. Haha! They are just simply hilarious. So yep! Watched the fireworks with my grandparents and mum! Only my grandparents, my parents and I went. The rest had to study and all since the next day was school. But ya!! I realise how important it was to have my sis and my cousin around. I was really bored since we reached there quite early. So I guess the package did come in handy. Haha!

So yes!! The best thing I love about CNY is that I get to spend time with my family. It's really sad how we can only spend time together during festive seasons such as this. Actually, just any public holidays I can spend time with my parents. Haha! But yep! CNY, you really get to spend time with your grandparents and cousins. Things you really cannot do often. So yes! I love Chinese New Year! And of course, you get a break from school too. Haha! This year's CNY holiday is really too short!!!!

treasure the people who you truly care about

It is always more often than not where we tend to neglect those around us, the people who really matters, the people who were always there. Because you think that they are still around for a long while, that you'll have to time to be nice to them, time to tell them that you truly care about them. But do you know that by doing so, we are making a terrible mistake in how we live our lives? Taking them for granted because you think that they will always be around. Always thinking that there will always be time to make amends. Treating them wrong 'cause you felt that they will always be around for you to treat them better next time.

But what if the time doesn't come? What if they left without knowing how much you actually cared about them? What if the "next time" never came? What will you do then? When it's all too late. Family and friends who you care about, who you think that you'll always have time to treat them right, they are the ones who are important to you, yet somehow, we tend to neglect those people who are around us the most. Who are always there for you.

Life, I realise, is really short. I mean seriously, you really cannot predict what will happen tomorrow. The future, it's a blur yet we still have to move forward. But as we move forward, we need to remember and know who are the ones who you should truly care about. Yes, even though you know that you care about them, you will think that you'll have time to tell them how much they meant to you, and not do so immediately. Time, we will always think that we'll have time to tell them, have time to make things right.

Truth is, we don't have time. Time, still very much controls us.

“Time and tide wait for no man. A pompous and self-satisfied proverb, and was true for a billion years; but in our day of electric wires and water-ballast we turn it around: Man waits not for time nor tide.” - Mark Twain

Yet, it's not true. Time and tide still do not wait for anyone. True, we are able to keep in contact with much more ease now with the help of the Internet. But once the feelings are gone, computer cannot salvage that. It becomes nothing. Once people leave you, it's hard for them to come back. Unless well, unless they are really important people who never truly walked out on you. These people are the ones who you should care for, the ones who you should rely on, the ones who make you feel like you at the luckiest person on earth to have them around.

But many a times, we tend to take them for granted. We shouldn't. Even if it's small gestures such as helping them with nitty gritty stuffs makes a difference to show how much you care about them. Even asking "how's life?" once in a while to them makes a difference. Hearing their troubles and you sharing your troubles to them too. For these people, it's not just you giving. You give and take. It's a mutual thing. They are just the people who you know that when all else fails, when everyone turns their back on you, they will be there to support you and keep you from falling.

These people, are the ones you should be caring for. And not some random friend who you know that aft sometime, they will just become mere acquaintances. I'm not saying that we should ignore those people because they are still your friends after all. But yes, prioritise the ones who are more important from the ones who are not. Because they are the people who you will regret not telling them how much you appreciate them after they are gone.

Don't take anyone for granted. Treasure them while you still can. Of course, I'm not saying that we should be nice to them always; that's not how I truly interact with the people whom I'm close to. But just letting them know how much you do care about them in some ways. I'm not sure what ways but yes, we all know what we should do to let the people who we care about to know how much they do matter to us. Just don't regret on not being able to tell them this or that. Appreciate them for being always around, for being there for you and making you smile and laugh and know how lucky you are to have family and friends like them.

Treasure them. Hold on to them tight. Spend more time with instead of with people who you know you don't care about as much. Appreciate them. Tell them how much you mean to them from time to time. (Ok maybe not need to tell them, but show it in your own ways.)

Usually, we tend to say all the nice stuffs to our close ones only during special occasions such as birthdays, mothers' day, fathers' day, new year's eve and maybe valentine's day. Haha! So yes! Make the most out of such times to tell them how much they meant to you! For me, I know I really don't always say praises and nice stuffs to the people who meant so much to me. So yes, I'll take advantage of such times to show how much I do care about them.

You don't always have to tell them how much you meant to them always, 'cause somehow, you will just show it in your actions how they meant to you and they will know it too. That's just how family and close friends works. Haha! You just know it. But of course, even if you think they know it, still do appreciate and treasure them. Life is too short for any regrets. Follow your heart, and just do what your heart wants you to do. Be biased for all you care. The people who judge you are the ones who don't matter in your life.

So yes, treasure people who are dear to you, don't make any regrets, don't take advantage of them, treat people right and make use of your time wisely.

(Ahhh I feel like sleeping already so if the behind parts gets about confusing, pardon my tiredness.)

where duration of the friendship doesn't matter

They are seriously pple who made me be really glad that I came to AC instead of other school! I know them for less than a year yet the friendship I have with them is really one that I know I'll still meet up with them even after we graduate from JC. Time here, doesn't matter at all.

Anyway, so last Saturday, we went to Sharon's house for CNY visiting! Met up with Lingli, YL and Feli at JE before we went together! I was late. Heh. But oh well, Feli was later. Haha!

Anyway, so we bus to Sharon's house and went by Fuhua area! Wah! seriously miss that place! The whole area. Used to go there for 4 years man!

We managed to walk to Sharon's house on our own! Haha! Not bad right? First time go her house! And her house is super nice!!! The way they decorated the house gives a very nice classy feeling. LOL! Seriously man. Go the cool nice feel. Haha!

And FOOD! HAHA! Her mum prepared a lot of food for us man. And they had a lot of CNY goodies too. Haha! Yes, my eyes were like eying all of them and I was trying to control myself from eating all of them.

The nice food her mum prepared for us!! =))

The reason why I posted this photo was 'cause while we were talking this photo, some mad crazy woman decided to scare us from the window. And it's none other than...

EUNICE!!! Wah, she is seriously damn freaky lar! She just popped her hand from outside and grabbed YL's hair. Freak the hell out of both of us. Of course YL was more scared than me lar. But wah, seriously damn freaky lar! Annoying girl. Forever like to disturb pple. Tsk.

We suddenly talked about the funny drinking incident between YL, Feli and me and we cracked up like mad again. It really makes me smile and want to laugh every time I think of the incident. It's just hilarious. =D

So yes, suddenly Eunice took her bag and said she wanted to explore Sharon's room. Ohya! Sharon's brother's friends came over to CNY visit too! It was quite funny 'cause they walked in one by one where we were at the dining table. Haha!

Half way through eating, Feli went upstairs too. Joyce came aft that! And disappeared upstairs also. After we ate finish, I wanted to go up also. So I went up with YL and Lingli. Then they suddenly locked her room door and Sharon told me to go down first 'cause Eunice and Feli were apparently playing some computer game. LOL!

So, lol, I kinda figured something was up then already. Or else why would they suddenly locked the door right? But yea lar, I pretended that I didn't know anything or else I'm really a spoiler. But actually, I kinda spoiled it already. HAHA! Too bad I'm too smart. =D But yes! I really still appreciate them for wanting to surprise me!!! They are really the best. And I didn't know what the surprise was. I just know that there was something going on. HAHA! But yes! I'm still touched. =D

Anyway, YL and Lingli failed man. HAHA! Cannot stop me from going up. So yep, they went down with me and we sat down and ate the junk food and took random photos. They are quite funny also 'cause they were sort of kept in the dark of what was happening too. Haha! Damn funny lar! Then can see they were trying hard to entertain me so I won't realise anything. Haha! Joke pple~

But I was amused by the cool door under the stairs! Haha! Harry Potter man! =D

So yep! Aft awhile, Feli and Eunice came down. Then suddenly Sharon came and dragged me towards the kitchen. And somehow, balloons came flying down. LOL! Seriously man, the balloon came suddenly. Haha! And everyone started to sing happy birthday song to 2 pple! Sharon's brother also had a friend they wanted to celebrate birthday for so they just celebrated both our birthdays. It was quite awkward 'cause yea, I don't know the person. LOL! But oh well.

So yes! They bought the cupcakes for me and put the robot stuffs on each cupcake. LOL! Super funny! But really sweet. =)) The cake is the other guy's cake. Haha!

And they made this for me too!! =)) Seriously thankyou guys!! =DD I really like it a lot. =)

Group Photo~ =D I like the camera effect. =D

This photo is just funny lar! Trying to fit in a mirror. Haha!

And of course, there must be a stupid photo too. =D I seriously love YL's expression. =D

Aha, I look damn greedy here but I had trouble finish them man. I love the cupcakes!! =D And Sharon's room is super pretty!!!!!!! I like the way she organise and arrange her room. Super neat and nice. =D

And they bought for me this stickers that can paste on the wall also!! =))) Yea man!! Love them. Haha! I shall paste them up when my wall is nicer. I think we might repaint our room aft my A levels since I'll have the time~ =D

haha! Totally force the cake into her mouth. =D

HAHA! I'm posting this photo here 'cause I didn't post on FB since it's really super duper unglam. Haha! This girl forced me to take a stupid shot with her. And then she stick it into the scrapbook thingy. =D And when I first saw it, I really laughed out loud. It's damn joke lar! I look freaking retarded. I'm posting this photo for you hor Eunice! Since you like so wanted the photo so much. Haha! We did take one proper one too! I like that one a lot. =D I'll post it next time if I feel like it. =D

So yep! We talked quite a lot and Eunice's mum was super spontaneous! She had to go RWS to stay at the hotel 'cause her mum got the room free. Then she just asked us if we wanted to come and she called her mum straight and she really got a room for us! Damn spontaneous right? LOL! Seriously joke man. So Sharon and Joyce went ahead. My mum didn't really want me to go so I didn't. Too last minute I think but yep! Next time~! =D They really had fun in the hotel room lar. Damn joke. We must really go overseas together also hor!! =D Wah!! I'm really looking forward to overseas trip with friends for the first time on our own! I think it's going to be really fun. Though of course, may show sides of us that we didn't know about but I believe it will still be damn fun. =D

Thankyou girls for making my 18th a blast. =)) I am so thankful and grateful to have met you guys and became good friends with you all in AC. Such friendships are really hard to come and I'm glad that we have it! =D
