Reached home from the dance camp this evening at around 7p.m. feeling extremely tired. However, I had a spanking good time over there in spite of me being incredibly weak. The camp was good, and i got to know a lot of people, that are actually just the same people I see in school everyday, better. Not all the sec twos came, sadly. Mildred, Eileen and Er Jie were Missing-In-Action, but regardless, we had fun.

Nicole has officially become our games trend setter. (HAHA. --;;) We would play all the games that she plays and invented. Not just once, but alot alot alot alot of times. Anyway, Nicole and I was lame-ing away, trying to think of a skit for the evil baby. heheh. It's a wonder what people will do when they get bored. But, nevertheless, it was still quite funny, even though we are the only ones who are super enthu about it.

shan't elaborate anymore, lest it gets boring.

:OOO
I LOST MY WALLET AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
AGAAAAAAAAAINNNNN!

Ahh, my most sincere apologies for the terrible lag in updates, yours truly is procrastinating on her schoolwork AND cca. Please excuse me. C :

Such a great load off my shoulder... For the time being. :S

goodbye, goodbye
Well, well.

GAWD, it's the end of my secondary 2 school life! Sigh. So many things have to come to a standstill and then slowly erased from my life. No more gathering at j.e.c! No more making fun of sushi and the aliens! Worse of all, NO MORE HAVING LESSONS TOGETHER AND LAUGHING AT THE TEACHERS! Sigh.

Friendships though, deeply etched in my heart, will definitely go on and stay for a long time. Even with us taking our so many different paths, and being separated to different classes, I'm sure all of us would have a place in each other's heart for a long time coming.

Or is it so easy to completely erase one from another's mind?

*
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favourite things.

Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles.
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favourite things

When the dog bites,
when the bee stings,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember my favourite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

(:(:(:

Sometimes all you need is one simple song to get you through a long tiring day.

Strange how people just seem to fade away through no fault of theirs or ours. They just do, and yet we'll remember the good memories they left us, yes? (:

...Haha. Yesterday was 25 minutes ago. 25 minutes ago, it was yesterday. Yesterday and today.

Looks like I may be able to survive, after all. I already survived 25 minutes. 26 now.

What am I doing...

And why am I typing all that, when all I wanted to do was post a damn post. Whatever. I should sleep. Sleep is the best remedy for troubled deep thoughts. Dreamless sleep. Yes. I need a potion for dreamless sleep. Like in HP And the Goblet of Fire. Oh. by the way, i bought The Notebook and even though i have read it before, I couldn't stop reading. Haha. I have lots to read. The notebook,Blankets which which i borrowed from the library a few days ago; I read a chapter already, and I have to finish A Bend In the Road. Lesson learnt. Always have more than one bookmark. Yes. I think I'll go buy the one I saw in Gift A Name. Or was it Cards N Such. Whatever.

There you go. Books diverted my attention. That is wonderful. Books are my potion for dreamless sleep. Oh. No. I will dream about the books instead. Damn. Vivid dreams always make me tired, lethargic. The last dream I had was weird. It was like an adventure mystery story, involving a weird merry-go-round that I sat which had me dazed. Yes, dazed. Even in my dreams I can be dazed. Don't laugh. I couldn't forget the merry-go-round. It was like being in a trance. Yes I know. Absurd. Fancy being in a trance when you're already asleep.

Oh man.

Whatever. I do hope I survive today without any.. complications. Today is crucial to my emotional well-being. Or mental well-being. Okay. It isn't that serious. I was only exaggerating.

Ah well. No one will understand this anyway.

I should sleep. Wake up bright and early and get on with schooling. Boring. I know. But I'd rather today to be mundane. I'd rather today be a boring day for me. I hope I forget today in time to come.

A day, after all. So much can happen in a day. So little can happen too. I'm wishing for the latter with all my might.

Goodnight.

and as the surface breaks reflections fade.

What the hell can or not.
Go away can or not I don't like.
*

I've never been
The one to raise my hand
That was not me
And now that's who I am
Because of you
I am standing tall
My heart is full
Of endless gratitude
You were the one
The one to guide me through
Now I can see
And I believe
It's only just beginning

This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud

I guess I've learned
To question is to grow,
That you still have faith,
Is all I need to know,
I've learned to love,
Myself in spite of me,
And I've learned to
Walk on the road that I believe.

Everybody needs to rise up
Everybody needs to be loved
To be loved

This is what we dream about
But the only question with me now
Is do I make you, do I make you proud
This is what we dream about
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud
Stronger than I've ever been now
Never been afraid of standing out
Do I make you proud
Do I make you proud

And I know just why you could not come along with me.
This was not your dream.
But you always believed in me.

Inner strength. Inner strength.
Inner strength.

Hello darlings.

Today Shu Hui went to Habour Front with Shu Ying, Clarine, Li Lin and Yi ling, FOR FOOD. GLORIOUS FOOD. Then they went shopping, and she bought a present for Sherry and Jesslyn leaving her broke.

... Crap why am i talking like this?

anyway,

TEEHEE.

Shu Hui goldmaid has completed her Chinese reflection and is actually feeling quite satisfied about it. If qian-bian-face-astroboy-allan-ho thinks it's not good enough he ought to go to hell.

Hahahaha okay that was evil. MMMMMMM. So now I'm revising for chem cos there is a chem test this coming Friday! And there's maths test next week. AHHH. THE KILLER MATHS

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I HATE MATH.

ok. i digress.

It has been a long long time since i last blogged and much has happened since the last post.

Slowly I begin to understand that people can start out the same but they may end up being vastly different. We had lots in common before, but we found different priorities in life, I guess. You chose an image-conscious whatever-makes-me-happy-now life while I found security in long-term investments.

Then I was thinking to myself how this is like a state of continuum and how mortally afraid of mundane monotonous life I am cos I'm like doing the same thing over again every morning and how I hate that.

Then I realised that this is only how I think and to continue thinking this way would be to shortchange myself of the simple pleasures in life. I don't think I make much sense but never mind!

Shu Hui is in quite a happy frame of mind right now. : )

But elaboration is not needed, and I'll just satisfy myself by announcing

MUGFEST HAS BEGUN ANYONE WANNA JOIN?

hahaha.

Homecoming

Today when I woke up the first thing I did was to try to speak. Succeeded after clearing my throat several times. BAD SHI XIAO for spreading her virus to me. SHEESH. okok. I Know i can only blame it on myself that i ate too much heaty food in west malaysia. Anyway. I'm home. After a 3 days 2 night learning journey in west malaysia.

We went for the forest trail and canopy walk. It was fun, yet scary and tiring. I was dripping wet from perspiration and my muscle was aching after that. Every movement I make seems to trigger off a muscle that hurts real bad. Had a helluva time walking and perspiring in the forest, with the falling flowers from the trees and the mosquitoes and leeches eagerly waiting. We were suppose to take note of the plants that are growing there and admire the nature while walking to the suspension bridge, but i ended up staring at the ground all the time, afraid that i would just trip over a stone and toppled down the hill. -.- After half a million light years, we finally reached it. The suspension bridge was swaying dangerously lorh. My legs was shaking like crazy. Luckily, it is only 200m long and i completed it. BUT! it was not all.. There is still a need to climb down the hill and it was hell. We have to step on stones and the stones ar slippery because of the river. Clarine and yiling fell into the water.(LOL--;; haha)

Oh yes. The fireflies boat ride. It is such a beautiful sight. The flashes of light from the fireflies and sky was.. woah. "天上星星数不清，每颗都是我的梦~” For that, I don't regret coming to malaysia. haha. I want to come out at night more often liao. I read in White Oleander, where Ingrid Magnussen said something about "Dawn has a way of spoiling the night magic." I totally agree. Night seems to exude some kind of mysterious yet alluring magic, which day has no possession over.

The seafood dinner was HEAVENLY. There were actually bugs in the food itself. @!#^!@$. And i killed a bee... BY ACCIdENT okay! ='(

And the hotel was creeeeeppy. So we ended up having seven people in a room instead of only two. lol.

On the other hand, Shu Ying, Sherry, Eileen and me went to j.e.c to eat when we reached Singapore at at around 7.30, till 9+. Had a great time eating and joking abt. =) All in all, a wonderful night, ending in me being very drenched in fatigue by the time I reached home and i went to sleep immediately after bathing.

This weekend has been one of rejuvenation.

I finally felt as though I have time for everything instead of walking around in circles trying to figure out what was left undone, which task had a pressing deadline when really, there was nothing to do.

The workaholic's life is so not for me, thank you.I could do with a few more weekends like this. =)

However, I must not forget what this June was intended for.I'm going to do well for terms. I'm going to finish my homework by this weekend. Where, where is my motivation? ): I need you so badly.

In other news, I'll be given this amount of money from Mommy dearest to go shoppppingggg. I have a feeling that she's only feeling generous at that point of time when we approached the topic. I aso have this nagging feeling that she is actually regretting it, but oh well. She can't go back on her words so. (:

I'm going to save it for malaysia trip because malaysia has much more variety to offer than Singapore, and at about the same prices. And here I am momentarily reminded of that pink shop in Far East that really sells those pinky school uniform kinda clothes along with knee-length socks. Hello, in sunny Singapore? *cringe* Ha.Then again, who wants to go late night shopping? I know Bugis street's open to midnight on some days. I have been there loads of times, but it's fun to go poking around street markets at night. (: Alright, anywhere's fun to be at night.

I'm going to the food fair with sister and mom! Yay. This is the life.

As this page loads, various things are going through my mind all at once. They are diverse, of happiness, of contemplation, of doubt and of a tinge of sadness. So forgive me if this entry is fragmented and makes no sense at some point, for I could not help it.

And hence..

It is strangely therapeutic as I sit in this room where the only source of light is the table lamp and the monitor, dressed in a tee and fbts and warmed by an overlarge black hoodie, damp hair, looking through old and new pictures, reminiscing, listening to the drone of what I cannot live without aka the aircon, and Vanessa Carlton's Who's To Say.

Who's to say that we aren't getting stronger?
Who's to say that I can't live without you;

Time really does make fools of us. I've officially spent 12 weeks of secondary 2 life in River Valley High School. In this period I've experienced a tumult of emotions. There are times when I berate myself endlessly for coming here when I really should be in BPGHS so I do not have to grapple alone with unpleasantness I come across in this school. Yet, there are also times when I reassure myself that coming here was the right decision to make, and that I am indeed blessed to have met wonderful friends like those in 1A and 2A.

1 term down. Lots more to go. I'm not sure if I can deal with even more 12-week periods, but I'll try. I must not forget my goals. All in all, RVHS has been relatively interesting and who knows, I may even miss it in the course of the June holidays, though I doubt it very much.

Lt's talk about other stuff. 8 hrs of dance today. Collographing finally completed. Sustained yet yet yet yet a few more bruises here and there... LOL

Anyway yeah i went to lot 1 to eat after dance, alone and while i was eating, the spoon flew away from my hand and landed near another person's table...

Alright, that's probably the most interesting thing that happened so I shan't talk about other stuff. Life's boring...

Currently I'm uploading the neoprints i took with eileen and yan tong onto friendster. It is already my third try. I am the soul of Patience today. But in case this remarkable trait decides to vanish and I am left, once again, with my own patience (or lack thereof), the pictures may not be up when you visit it because I have probably hammered the computer into pieces due to the failure to successfully pictures.

Ahhh the times when i used to practice dance with yan tong and eileen. The fun we had poking fun of dumb wispy in sims 2. Taking ridiculous videos. ~~If I could relive those days, I promise I wouldn't let myself be trapped in that melancholy like last time, and I would enjoy every minute of life instead of being bitter.~~

Holidays. Time to adjust my bioclock so that 1) my sleeping hours are not split into two sessions at dusk and the wee hours of the night and little snatches of sleep caught in between ~~and during lessons.~~ 2) my waking hours are not plagued by fatigue.

And when we realise, beyond any doubt, that anything that has rightly started, has ended, and we will, once again, be FREE.

if the burden is mine then i can carry my own

It's time for some third person POV don't you think? (;

Shu Hui was a happy girl today despite it being a Moanday and her tendencies to have Moanday blues.

Perhaps it was the fact that 2.4 run went fairly well seeing that she had passed and improved by 1min. Though getting an A is a totally different matter. Shu Hui does not dare to hope beyond her wildest dreams that she will actually ace in running 2.4 this time round, seeing that she had only trained once for 2.4 which is during the mock test.

Or perhaps it was the fact that the day after Moanday is a Tuesday which basically means LESSLESSONS Day. The prospect of this results in Shu Hui being in a constantly happy mood all day long although it has been slightly blighted by the fact that there is CCA tommorow. Shu Hui seems to be not at all bothered by this since she has Yan Tong and Eileen to accompany her in dance. She worries, however, that Ying Ting's ballet shoes will not be dried by tomorrow as she have just washed it but Shu Hui is a worrywart by nature so let's not waste time on her incessant worries.

Shu Hui is sure that there will not be science fair on Wednesday due to the upper sec having examinations. And the more she thinks of it, the happier she is as there is finally a day when she can go go back home early.

And so ends this peculiar entry. Apologies if you can't understand the post, Shu Hui can't be bothered to string her incoherent thoughts into coherent ones.

EDIT**

OMG! Kevin Kern is coming to Singapore! I want to watch him play piaaanoo!!
