Today was like one of the longest days I've ever had since a while ago.I had lectures in the morning and I had 4 and half hours of free time before my next lecture.
Guess what I did????hahahahahaha...yes,I was super naughty!I went to Times Square to watch a movie and surprizingly was joined by Jia Rong.It was sort of a last minute plan but somehow it worked.We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks!We intially wanted to watch National Treasure 2 but hahaha the time was mixed up by mua and we ended up watching another movie.Still the movie was very funny and cute!
The chipmunks sang songs like Bad Day as an intro,Only You and other really hit songs from artist like Puff D. but of course the chipmunks movie ain't completed with the famous Christmas Don't Be Late.It was sweet!hahaha...This is a really cute and funny movie,people I serious recommend this movie.
After the movie we had about 45 minutes time left before I make my way back to college.We just walked about and just talked and kept walking and talking.We can walk and talk for a long time like we always do in school.It didn't seem like we haven't seen each other for a long time though,we just kept on talking and talking forever.
When we met up in Times Square just before the movie,I had to grin when I saw her walking towards me;she happen to be wearing the same colour as me, we both wore a white top and our fav kind of pants..jeans.It felt like some kind of uniform but it was weird coincidence.Mind you the two of us are not the type that will call each other to wear anything similar or anything for that matter.
It was nice to just hang out with her after the rough month of SPM.Though we are busy in college now or preparing to go into college,it was a brief yet a seemingly long reunion.Dunno why but it always feel like time just stops when I'm with her...hahaha....or maybe it's my mind again.
Remember the time when you were in school and with you were your best friends and all you do most of the time is just talking endlessly.Yea,that's just the feeling.I can't tell what it's gonna be like in the future but I'll just have to go where this road takes me.We'll just have to go with the flow and see where it leads us,but some how or rather things might or might not turn out the way we want it.All I know is,God I'm placing it in your hands!I bet on you God!
I can't and I won't force the flow of things but I can hope that maybe who knows in years to come, friends might find each other again.For now I think what we or I could really do is...
"Cherish the moment,take lots of pictures,enjoy the minutes and seconds that passes by;when the time for friends to go seperate ways then just look at all the photos and laugh and cry about it as I like."
As we go on...we remember,all the times we had together...as our lives change from whatever,we will still be friends forever...
Okay,have to get back to the assigments...haizzz.....

College Life
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!Finally in college now!MCKL is situated in brickfields but there's a monorail next to it.I had to wake up at 5:45 everyday just to go to college.My dad sends me every morning which means I have to go out with Ivan.When we drop Ivan,I can see the very fimiliar route leading up to school which I had walked so much not too long ago.I see the fimiliar faces of my juniors which looked gloomy and some little primary school kids running into school.
Something strike my heart that moment,the little voice inside me said,"hahaha...weird,they have to go to school as usual but you already graduated.Feels surreal eh..?"I looked at them in their uniforms and I turned to look at what I was wearing...geee....outside clothes!There are the extra freedom after you leave school and go into college,the most general one is you can wear outside clothes,bring your handphone,listen to your mp3 in the library,you have more free time,less subjects and you can go to the canteen to eat anytime you want when you don't have a lecture.
Yesterday was the orientation and it was very long,from morning at 8 to like 4.I was very excited and very nervous at the same time.I walked to the entrance of the main building and was greeted by Ms Moey who was getting down from her car.She gave me such a firm and warm handshake that it eased me abit.I made my way into this room where many new faces and anxious faces like mine sat down on rows of table-chairs.I sat at the last row alone but was made to sit directly in front after that.
We were all welcomed by heads of departments and the CEO herself,Ms Moey.Then after that we were split into A-Levels science,A-Levels arts and AUSMAT.We went into seperate rooms to meet our subject teachers.I took Law (I have no idea why..but i thought it might be fun seeing Ed enjoy and talk about it so often at home..), Economics (lagi dunno why I took it but I had to fullfill the min 3 subject requirement) and I took Eng Lit and IELTS.I need IELTS if I want to go overseas.It's similar to MUET but only it's a bit harder like the lecturer says and the grades are diff than MUET.
MCKL is a very cosy school type which made me feel right at home!The seniors there were very nice to us freshmen.Some seniors invited me for all sorts of activities and societies.I met alot of new friends and met up with some old friends too.I met friends that share the same dream like me which is to take up psychology and some really very sweet poeple.The canteen serves very delicious food and everyone is so friendly that it sort of creeps me sometimes.
It's really gonna be tough,we already got homework on the first day!We have alot of reading to do and we are recieving assignments too!I have to go to college everyday and I finish only at 4:30 everyday.Though it's tiring and all but it's fun!College life rocks!
Despite all the exciting parts I still have certain things going on in my mind...When I was sitting there during orientation,I had half-mindedly expected to see Jia Rong or Jane to walk through the door.Then only I realized that this is no longer SBU,this is a new chapter of my life unfolding before me.A little voice inside me said "What if I don't want to close that chapter before?"I can't,that I know very well but some naive part of me really feels hard to move on.I finally grasp how much I missed them and how much I had left behind me to move on.
I knew this would come the day the three of us got close to each other but something told me I could handle it.As much as I want to look back I know all I could ever keep are the wonderful memories made which I know is more than enough.I'm not saying I regreted meeting the two,believe I'm more than glad that I met them it's just I feel we didn't part with a proper goodbye or something.I know there's no such thing as a proper goodbye for all these but hahaha just doesn't seem right the way we left it.
Again I know that that's the only we could have left it but hahaha....hard to explain but I just feel there's some unsettled business there.*sigh*Well,I only can leave it up to God to sort out a given time for me to so call settle things or get over my stupid thoughts.I know that we part only to meet again,I know that there's someday out there for us but I really feel lonely and sad some how.I'm really happy bout alot of things but there are certain feelings do co-exist together.The new friends I met says I'm very friendly and they said I seem to be able to mix around well...hahaha...well I need to get a life afterall.
I always find the two to be my vacation and now unfortunately vacations over and work is coming up.hahaha....I always keep the picture of the three of us in my mind and all the littlest things and memories too..The three of us will never be the same again later on..but we'll be some else only.I know the'll be the chance somehow to reunite again much much later on in life but for now everybody needs to get on with life and do what we've only been waiting so long to do.One thing I really believe is God would never hold us away from anyone,He'll in some miraculous way let His magic work for everyone.We are starting new chapters that does not included each other for a while because this story has got to introduce some other characters to it as well but I strongly hope and believe that there'll some other chapter coming up later on that will reintroduce the older characters of the story!
I miss you two!hahaha...Love ya two and well I pray that you two would be able to make your dreams come true!Shoot for the moon and even if you can't reach it..you'll still end up among the stars!Remember,dreams sore high in the sky on wings of hopeful vision!
The vacation will come again someday....definietly it'll come again!

Christmas!
I'll be home for Christmas...I think every one knows this tune.On the way to the airport that day guess what Ivan was singing; "I won't be home for Christmas...You can count on me.."hahaha
Me and Ed were laughing every time he sang that tune,well true enough we weren't home for Christmas.We went to Hong Kong on Dec 23 and came back on Dec 27.Well I made this little travel journal so I shall post it here >>>>
DEC 23,
It's 9:27 pm,I'm seating in the plane and guess what I was doing?hahahahaha,I was messaging all my friends and left them a Christmas greeting.I of course messaged dad first...with the three of us gone,my parents were home alone for Christmas.Erm...my dad didn't really liked it and yea he was blacked face alright.Poor mom had to endure it for 5 days...hahaha,sorry mom!
10:20 pm, The TV was playing some chinese movie which was quite nice but the ear phones really hurt my ears...
DEC 24,
12:05 am, hehehehe...I'm 'jakuning' over the view outside the window,yes,I got the window seat.The plane was flying just above the layer of clouds and it's so beautiful!The way the clouds were forming outside was awesome!
12:15 am, Trying to watch Just For Laughs but failed and I end up reading my Angel Agent again while listening to my mp3.Gee...everyone back home should be sleeping by now but I can't though.Aiyoo!There's this lady behind me sticking her feet on my arm rest as she sleeps like a pig.Ew..hehehe,shall try to poke that feet of hers with my pen!
12:22 am, Oh rite,HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANE dear!Great that piggy lady's feet is getting further up my arm rest!Shesh!I feel like tossing my drink back on her.Hey,it's officially Christmas Eve!Wheee!hmm...should I poke piggy lady's feet again??
12:44 am, Okay,piggy lady finally took her wonderful smelling feet away.We're landing soon I think.My darling brother,Edmund is busy reading 'MY' P/S I Love You and OMG!He doesn't know how to take care of it!EDMUND WONG!!!!!Your so dead!
1:44 am, Welcome to HK!The rain's getting heavier and the stewardess gave us this plastic thing to drape around ourselves and asked us to run down from the plane to the bus waiting near the plane.First time I did that and wah lau...slippery and cold out there!
8:00 am, It was my turn in the bathroom.We crashed on to the bed I think at 3 something near 4 and we didn't fall asleep immediately,we were watching the Beautician & The Beast.We stayed in the Panda Hotel,they have very cute Christmas deco!I'll upload the pictures later.Ed's phone was ringing so much I nearly chucked it out of the window....I know it's time to get up but just keep quiet!!!!!!
6:07 pm, Well we had a half day city tour around HK,we picked up my Godma from her hotel and she's been going on and on about things which I know nuts of.Now we just boarded the train to Shenzhen.It's a 45 min ride and we had no seats plus we had to carry our own luggage.It's not hard,i've done it a couple of times but this time I had to take care of Ivan since mom and dad aren't here.But he's been a good boy...thank God!
8:25 pm, We are at the imigration.The officer took my passport,typed something into the computer,scanded it and started looking from the passport picture to me and to the passport again.She even had to ask me to remove my specs cause she can't recognize me,I only started to wear specs when I was 15 so my passport doesn't have a picture of me with specs on.She must have thought I was some fake or some terrorist.Ya meh???
9:45 pm, We finished our dinner and we went to a night market.We bought only one thing....DVDs!We bought up to about RMB 400!Well,we couldn't hold the temptation you know..
1:40 am, We went up to our room and came down again.We had to celebrate our godma's birthday.Didn't exactly had fun but it was ok.They made me drink red wine,I had to take it cause everybody was pushing it to me so I drank.I was bitter and that's all I could taste.I'm not a drinker so it felt like taking bitter herbal tea.We crashed on to bed at about 1:40 or so and slept instantly.
DEC 25,
7:32 am, Ed shoke me up violently and all I could hear is we're late.It took me a while to register and I immediatly got up.We ran into the toilet,brushed our teeth,washed up and began to furiously fling on our clothes.We had less than 10 minutes to gulp down our breakfast.But well we weren't the only late ones so hahaha...we managed to eat but ed had to work so he didn't touch any food at all.We snucked two pieces bread for him but he didn't want it so more for me and Ivan.
8:20 am, We left the hotel and yes,we were behind schedule.The tour guide in a very nice way told us not to be late again tomorrow morning but we felt guilty la..
12:06 pm, We are entering Window Of The World,this place is very nice.It's a gigantic monument or museum where they made all this miniature models of the world famous landmarks.So if you have a very low budget,go to Window Of The World,you can see the world at only RMB 240.We actually helped the members of our tour group to take pictures most of the time cause we've been here before.The only reason I came to HK this time was to learn how to tour lead from Ed,Ivan just tagged along cause he seemed so sad as he was left behind.Excuse me!When everyone went to HK in september I was the only left at home and I didn't even say anything but uncle alex says he can learn to tour lead too...hahahaha...yea right!Well what can I do if he's tears are worth a trip to HK during peak seasons.
6:00 pm, We just watched the show in The China Folk Village.It was a display of the 52 tribes in China and the costumes were very amazing!It was not a bad show but I was falling asleep towards the end of the show. =p
8:30 pm, We just finished another show called The Splendid Of China.It was a better show cause it involved fire,canons,horses and laser lightings.Again I nearly fell asleep at the end.hahahahaha!We went back to the hotel and hahaha...the three of us ordered room service.The bill was settled by me cause I kept all the RMB and HK dollars.hehehe...I shall not reveal how much I got for this trip.hahahaha....XD Oh yea...
MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM,DAD,PENG YI & UNCLE ALEX,AUNT CINDY & UNCLE DANNY,CHARMAINE,DICKSON,CHERYNE,POH POH,GONG GONG,EVERYBODY AT HOME & JIA RONG,JANE,ANDY,DOREA,AMY,ANGIE & EVERYBODY I KNOW!!!!!! Happy Birthday to Dorea and Angie!!

5:45 am, I'm up and awake!why???DUH!I'm going to Disneyland!

9:00 pm,The entire day was just magic!I enjoyed it very much though I'm tired.We're waiting for the firewoks now.HAizz....all the horrible people in the who wouldn't sit down for the people at the back nearly got into a fight.I had my cousin on my lap and yes it was going crazily numb!We were all shouting at them asking them to sit down,and there was this lady that stood up and told the crowd standing off very nicely but everyone clapped for her!Ok,not evryone sat down but ok la...

CU Girls Christian Camp (Dec 10-14)
Well it's December again and as usual every year on the second week I'll be off to camp in St Mary's School in Selayang.CU Camp has been around since Ms Cooke's time cause she was the one behind it.She often take her students to Taman Negara away from studies and taught them about God and things outside the text books.
Then when BBGS was demolished,it seemed like it was all going to end but then God opened the door and this camp which once used to be only for BBGS girls is now opened to girls from every other school.I even met girls from JB,Melaka and Ipoh...it's kind of amazing to find people coming in from other states as well.
Going back to camp fo the fourth time really brings back memories and a feeling of familiarity.This year I was invited to go to camp as a subgroup leader and well I was already worn out on the day before camp started.All the leaders have to come to camp a day early to clean up the place and prepare the classrooms,confrence room,canteen and yes....the toilets as well.We all slept in the classrooms if your wondering.Each group has a classroom for themselves and we have to clean it everyday and decorate it(there's always this comp going on for our room deco...).
Hahahaha...my group well never got much points for this part cause we don't have enough stuff toys but we got full marks on the last day!
Okay...confession time,I started going to camp in form 1 and hahaha the funny thing is every year I go to camp I'll surely fall sick.So I never lasted in camp.I got mumps in form 1 and was sent home on the 3rd day of camp cause they don't want me to go about and spread it to other people right?Then in form 2 I got fever and muscle pain,form 3 I didn't go cause I was in Korea,then in form 4,everything went well actually until the last night that is...I got gastric and a touch of food poisoning.(I was the only one sick....)
hahahaha....so thank God,I'm sick free this year!Wei Chiew(a camp personnel and has been attending camp for quite a number of years) has always been helping the camp nurse every year and she told me that every time I see her I'll surely fall sick but this year I saw her and I was okay.You know why???Cause she wasn't helping the camp nurse this year!
I met a number of old friends who I go to camp with and I met a number of new ones too.It was very tiring but I seriously had fun!Being a leader is never easy but it helps to know that you don't need to do things alone.Rachel King,was my leader this year.I think she was more tired than I am...she had to lead 2 subgroups.There are 4 groups every year and each group has 2 subgroups,so the main leaders are often walking about like zombies cause they are super worn out.Plus Rachel came from another camp and it already took out a lot on her...haizz..It's okay Rachel we got your back!
Rachel is really very sweet and it was fun to work with her.She sometimes reminds me of my best friends.She's super whacky and really funny.We spent the entire camp together cause we are leading the same group and we have to discuss about things so often that we were walking about like as if we couldn't be seperated.Someone told me that if they had to look for Rachel,they'll surely find me there and vice versa.
Lights out are at 10:30 every night but me and Rachel won't be sleeping as yet.We'll be talking under the covers and discussing what to do the next day.Sometimes we whisper too loud and we end up bugging the others...hahahaha horrible leaders rite?

Camp was fun this year and the older girls who most of them became personnels this year were patting me on my back congratulating me for lasting through the entire camp without falling sick....hahaha,very funny!I learnt a lot this year though there was one awful experience,this happened on the second day.It was after the hobbies session,when I was happily walking to the canteen for our tea break after a nice sessions of ballon art.Yes,I loved making all the dogs,poodles,elephants and bears!Well I was walking to the table to collect my cup when a very distressed Rachel was walking towards me.I smiled at her and she showed me her purse which was found by one of our group members by the dustbin.I think you know what I'm about to tell you...
Yes,the money was gone.Rachel always puts her purse inside this red bag which she carries everywhere with her but just after siesta I told her to leave it behind since it was gonna be hobbies then games so I thought she could leave it behind.Me and my big mouth!We went back to our main room where we sleep to check if the money had fell out in the bag or not but once we came into the room i saw my bag wide opened as well.I ran towards it to find mine missing as well.Immediately we repeorted it to Ms Moey,we suspected the girl who had returned Rachel's lost purse.I never believe in people who return empty purses...
This made me and Rachel really very miserable and we had to lead the group like as if nothing happened.We found it hard to face the suspected in the group and the fact we had wanted to trust and opted to like the group members the moment we met them.We found more and more evidence that prove our suspicion was right.
By day 3 the theif was unmasked.What made me feel so unforgiving is the fact that she didn't show any remorse and she told her tale like as if it was some mere problem.Ms Moey made her ask forgiveness from me an Rachel but I found it so hard to stretch out my hand to shake hers and look her in the eye to say 'I forgive you."I kept reminding myself I was in a position of a leader.I need to lead the group and I can't let this damage me and the group any further.That was what was going through my mind...at least I hope I held myself straight.
Me and Rachel were still quite miserable but we kept each other strong and manage to lead the group till the last day.Despite all these,I really miss camp a lot!When I came home,I put down all my things and immediately look for the camp booklet and looked at the timetable to see what was next,hahaha...it became a habit the last 5 days and the meal times seems to be disrupted as well.I got used to it not long but it seemed weird not to follow the timetable anymore...But I did come back with wonderful memories and I am looking forward to go to camp agiain next year!
CU Camp rocks!!!!!!!!Miss you already!

Hand In Hand - She Without An Arm,He Without A Leg
This is performed by Ma Li and Zhai Xiao Wei.Xiao Wei was a dancer but she met with an accident and lost her right arm.It seemed that she had lead a hopeless life for a time and nearly committed suicide.She loved dancing above all and with only one arm she felt all hope was gone.Not long someone invited Xiao Wei to teach little children to dance and at that moment she realized how much she had loved to dance and decided she could do it.She picked herself up from rock bottom and retrained herself.Later on she met Ma Li a men who had lost his left leg,she saw hope in the helpless him.She decided to join the dance competition and she asked Ma Li to be her partner.
After much persuasion and hardship Xiao Wei got Ma Li to agree and she had to teach him dancing 101.It took a lot of hard work and effort and when the competition came they won,first place!
This dance is one of the most beautiful and passionate I've ever seen.I nearly cried when I saw it in camp.The music is so sad and it is truely very beautiful and amazing.There was a part in the video where they zoomed in on a woman among the audience and it is believed that she is Xiao Wei's mother.It was very touching to see the mother in tears and joy when she saw the effort her daughter took to show she is fighting hard to live and to dance again.Enjoy the video!

Last Of It...
*sigh* It's over....it's finally over.Yup,no more SPM for me!Well I finally graduated,no more walking into school with Ivan,no more monday blues,no more school.For the past 11 years I was in the same school so now I sort of dread going to the same place again but I'll definietly feel some what uneasy not waking up at 6 everyday or wearing my pinafore or even walking down the same road that leads to school everyday with my blind eyes looking up at the trees.
The BK paper yesterday was okay.It was not very easy but the standard is definietly easier than how Ms Moey would set it.I spent my free days studying BK because my mom expects an A for this subject and Ms Moey will also expect an A2 at least.A bit stressed up by them but it was okay.I sort of giggled when I flipped open the first page of the question paper.I could answer them!I actually could answer them!I finished it at about 4 then checked my paper until about 4:15 like that.The invigilator asked if I wanted to go out early,normally I would but I didn't.Did I forget to mention that I was the only one sitting in the class for the exam...?Eunice,Emerene and Deborah were in the 4th floor and I'm the only sad person taking the paper on the 2nd floor.Our nombor pusat was different so I had to take it on my own.I was watched by two invigilator and they were busy playing with their handphones...hahahaha but I can't copy from anyone so they didn't bother.
After the paper I slowly packed my bag then took out my camera and just went about some places taking pictures.I'm being sentimental again......It's kinda silly to go about taking pictures like that but hey I'm not gonna come into school as a student of SMK SBU anymore,from now on I'll come in as a visitor or at most an ex-student.It was weird to walk about the entire school that was so quiet and peaceful.Every where I go I stopped for a moment and like a movie some memorable scenes played before my eyes.I can't help smiling to myself as I walked down memory lane.
The name is weird but it's a physics term
My class
My table..
For the past month all of us have been busy holding our books and reading before each of paper and sat along this corridor.
This is my secret place...I used to hang out here alot with Jia Rong & Ai Jane when we were in form 3.We talked about alot of things here,dreams,future and any thing at all.
This is the balcony next to my form 3 class.I used to love spending time here looking out and yea with rong and jane too...I love to day dream so hahaha...
haha...this is the balcony outside the girls toilet but it has ne of the best views
This is where the three of us would sit every morning before the assembly.Jia Rong always love to sit as close to the brown chair as possible so she can lean on it and sleep,while me and jane would just talk randomly.
This is the very same path I'll walk through every morning as I entered the school grounds
This is the front view of my school..well I guess this is it then,as I walked out that gate it was closed behind me and a little voice in my mind said "You won't be walking through them anymore.Not in your pinafore as SBU-nian anymore.." I felt a bit sad for a moment but oh well there's a longer road up ahead of me anyway.When I got up my mom's car she said, "11 years already,so ready to plunge ahead from here...?".I looked at her amazed that she knew what went through my mind as I saw the scenery of the school disappearing from the window's view and just said, "Of course I am!"

I realized I was staring blankly at my book and all of a sudden tears just fell like that.I'm not the type that loves to cry but there was just this heavy and sad feeling.Strange yet seemingly fimiliar to me.I just sat there crying for as long as I could remember and I couldn't stop.It just came flowing down like a really long and endless river.I looked out my window and all I could picture were two people before me.
I felt somehow relieved for a moment.But as I stared on,I saw the two figures moving further and further away.I held out my hand to try to reach them but I couldn't even get an inch close to them.Then it dawned on me that they were just a figment of my imagination.The tears kept flowing down,I kept asking myself "what am I crying about?why do feel so sad?"...I couldn't answer myself.I feel as though someone or something just ripped part of my heart out.
I sensed this heaviness since the moment I woke up...did I see some dream?Then in the corner of my mind,I saw the two figures again.I wanted to call out to them but I couldn't speak.As much as want to run forward and hold on tight to them I felt the other part of me frozen to the chair.I wanted to run after them but I couldn't and I can't....I know well enough that I can't hold on to them or even chase after them not now,not anymore.I only could stare as they slowly turned away from me and walked further and further away.
I just kept staring at them as their figure slowly gets smaller and smaller.I wouldn't look away though I know they are never turning back,still I wanted to see them until their figure totally vanishes from my sight.I know there's this path in front of me,it was meant for me and no one else.I wanted to advance ahead into the future...my future but I felt myself heavy and hesistant.I turned and took a very long look at the not too distant past.The tears stopped for a moment as I recall every single detail I could.All of it....every single memory,detail or little pieces of fragment that I could remember,I pondered at them for a very long while.
I found myself smiling as I heard the voices...those happy voices.The very voices I wanted to remember till my last breath on earth.Like an album I kept it all burried in my heart,I had to move on already.I know I need to move forward but I can't help stopping for a moment longer at the place where it all started.The place I found lost treasures and new horizons to persue.I smiled once more at it,then I walked backwards very slowly and turned away.
I stared down the two paths not too far from me,I smiled at it for a moment and slowly headed down mine.I uttered something as I walked slowly down my path,so much to say,yet none could I have the chance to tell them.I walked on and stopped for a moment as I saw before me vast lands and countless paths.Then I noticed the bridges and intersections ahead.It's still far from where I am but I'll reach it.I know that surely they will come around again...I know they will definietly come around again some where in the near future....but for now,I'll just keep walking ahead.
As I kept walking the tears came streaming down again....but this time,it's tears of joy and happiness,anticipation and anything but sadness and heaviness....
