Cause our song is the slamming screen door
Sneaking out late, tapping on his window
When we're on the phone and he talks real slow
Cause it's late and his mama don't know
Our song is the way he laughs
The first date "man, I didn't kiss him, and I should have"
And when I got home, before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again

S4L-7065(T), I'LL MISS Y'ALL LIKE CRAZYYYY!!!!!!!

oh my god. 9 lessons just flew by like that. i honestly cant believe it. when i first got the schedule, 18th of march seemed like 10 more years away. and we've all graduated today. the class was FUN, i loved every single moment of it. and since i knew it would be going to end soon, i was trying to soak up everything. ohmygoodness, my sundays will NEVER be the same again.

damn.

:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

gave our speeches to our parents. i was effing disappointed mum didnt come. really. the mood to recite my speech was somehow dampened. but i said it anyway, as usual, shivering and trembling like crazy and umm-ing a lot. damn, i hope the confident communicator in june will cut off all these habits. CONFIDENT COMMUNICATOR! ahh! i'll get to see my class again! WOO! ohohoh, ACE WON! i still remember the third lesson, we were second last, derek was saying, "nvm, we still have 6 more lessons, we'll catch up." and slowly, we DID! haha, got the THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET book, written by dale and brent! haha thank god i didnt buy it at empower u. lol, now derek has THREE books. took photos after the ceremony, ACE and conference group(me weishi derek and alex(he hasnt called yet though)) and the whole class, man, i love them! why do all good things come to an end? why cant time just freeze for a bit? :(

i'll upload the pictures later!:)

CIPed with the dancers!:) at SGH, met at outram mrt, and i got lost, called bel, and i tapped in just to tap out from the other exit, the sgh side. it was a LOOONG walk to the actual place, and jamie and zan were walking so fast! haha the rest of us trailed behind. had my polar breakfast, and we got splitted up. i was assigned to the pharmacy with bel. our job was just to unpack, re-stack, and secure the pills together with a rubberband. haha bel said it was so easy she could laugh. chatted and ipod-ed for the 5 hours while repacking the pills. then left for queensway, i was so excited cos i could FINALLY get more fbts(couldnt find them anywhere) and my SHOULDER BAG! but you know what. combed the whole damn place couldnt find the perfect one. and queensway SERIOUSLY reminds me of the beijing shopping centres! the whole mall is like a place, it gives me the dodgy insecure feeling AND. omg. there were freaking MANNIQUINS EVERYWHEREEEEEE! :((((((((( i was so scared and wary about my every step.

went to novena square VELOCITY after that, got my lonsdale bag! brown!:) and now. i'm bloody BROKE. spent over 300 just this week, and i only went shopping twice including today. wth?! :((( i'mjust so damn GLAD i dont have to use my bacpack anymore. shouldnt even have gotten it, but i guess it's a lesson learnt: backpacks werent made for me.

had learning lab, i was already half an hour late! and that NICOLE WONG! she wasnt even there yet. turned out she was trying clothes at espirit. i told her all about my empower you, it's almost like her adam khoo course! omg and i got all excited telling her all about the course and the people. i miss it like crazy!

after the class, i went around trying to find an optician who checks eyesight for contacts. and there wasnt one in united square, so i walked over to novena square, and i found an optician. my eyesight hasnt deproved but i have astigmatism! like 25 and 50degrees. i got 4 boxes stocked up! had dinner and left. oh, it's in a new building! novena square 2. so there's like 3 parts. and i saw so many interesting shops! i have to go there someday to check it out!:)

ahhh, i realized there's still so much chem to be done:(

EMPOWER U

i miss it like crazy, i really do:(((( it's so SHORT, only2anda1/2 days. it was truckloads of fun. we still had to take down notes and stuff, but it was NEVER boring, not if you have DALE and BRENT as your speakers. brent is the funniest guy on the planet, i swear. he has the whole room consisting of 150+ people doubled over, laughing hysterically. omgoodness.. i miss it so much! i wanna go back again!!on friday, it was the introduction and a couple of activities and dinner, saturday and sunday was so much more energetic. we were grouped up on saturday morning, initially my class wanted to be in the same group, but we were grouped according to numbers and animals. like the 1s are dogs, 2s are cats and blahblahblah. we were blindfolded and gad to make our animal sounds to find our group member. and with 150++ people in the room, i'm telling yu, it ISNT an easy job. it was a TOTAL CHAOS. and i'm claustroophobic, i felt like i was suffocating and i'll die from lack of oxygen, so i had to tiptoe and breath and i was fiddling with my blindfold the whole time, grasping on to my groupmates, i was FREAKING SCARED, especially with the BIG BURLY people going "MOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the top of their lungs, everyone was just brushing and jerking their way around, it was so uncomfortable! but we all managed to find our groups, i was in the CATS:)) there's this guy in my group, benedict, he's my p4 classmate!! the one who was crazy about gen, HAHA! but he said it was a joke when i asked him. LOL:D oh, and EVERY single time we come back from a break or lunch or dinner, they would have the room in darkness, but there would be thumping disco lights, and we would dance following the team assists on stage. you could see that most of us wouldnt dare to do much at first, but by sunday, everyone in the room were dancing like mad asses. i swear it's a hell load of fun!! and we had to hug a minimum amount of people before we could return to our seats. i learnt so much during these twoanda1/2 days, and it first, brent told all of us that the program would change our lives forever, it's kinda true. omg i love it!!!!!!!! i felt that the most meaningful thing was the board-break on saturaday, everyone went mad after that, dancing and jumping around. it's so much freaking FUN! and on sunday, we had a mind journay, the whole room was darkened and music will be playing, we would just listen to dale's voice, THAT session left me crying and crying, the team assists were going round relaxing our shoulders, and hafiz went around giving out tissue. i think that got me really awoken, especially after seeing what was going on in my mind. and after that, we were made to write a letter to our parents, which they would mail, i cried harder with every single word i wrote. that was SO valuable, hell, i'm EFFING GLAD i went for that course! we did so many activities within that short period of time, and every one of them will hold an important lesson behind them. i REALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY WANNA GO BACK!!!! went to shaw's macs after the finale, which dragged, everyone was hugging everyone, there were people tearing, took photos, swapped numbers, last hugs, it's just so unbearable to leave!!!!:(((( anyway. yeah. walked to macs, and i realized i was the only girl among everyone! 8 of us went. haha it was fun, talking, laughing, gossiping away. left at 11plus, daddy fetched me home.

AHHHH, I MISS THE DANCING, THE PEOPLE, ALL THE FRIENDS I MADE, THE CATS, THE SHITTY HOSPITAL FOOD, THE INCESSANT CHEERING, THE WAR-CRY, DALE AND BRENT, THE TEAM ASSISTS, THE SONGS, THE MIND JOURNEYS, THE PUNISHER(a gianormous watergun which all of us avoided on saturday, but we were ALL asking for it on sunday), THE GAMES, THE CHALLENGES, EVERY DAMN THING WE DID THERE? I MISS IT. soooooooooo bloody much.

dammit. i knew this was going to happen, i imagined it on friday night already, of me missing it, of the finale on sunday, and i tried my best to treasure every single moment of it during the entire program. and you know what? this sunday, it'll be my lastest last mindchamps class:((((((((((((( i'll be so bloody miserable when it ends! after 2+ months only! it's so damn short! :(((((( damndamndamndamndamning shit.

and i have to mug, mug, mug the whole of this week. my grades are like crap:(

yay! tuition's cancelled. i hate tuitions in the evening, it's the time when i'm tired and cant stop yawning.

ran with horrendous this morning, there's this dark area at the circular block. and that's the part that made me continue cos i dont wanna stop at that place, its so spooky, totally dark. and the first time we saw that we were so scared we ran holding hands. LOL. and we laughed at how ridiculous we were, and let go. haha. but i love running in the morning, its so quiet and dim. and horrendous hoo is a nice person to run with:)

had sausage macmuffin and tea for breakfast. and went to the field, tried sitting on the cut-open macs plastic bag, but she was sitting on most of it, so i was on the field itself already. haha, it's so nice looking up at the clouds and the sky.

we ran on tuesday too, except that day, we bathed in the school shower. brought flips and shampoo facial wash shower gel conditioner towel and all. the water felt like freaking 0degrees. like buckets of melted ice poured all over you. i couldnt stop shrieking, it was so cold! and the rest of the day? suffered from a nasty cold.

i need a shoulder bag URGENTLY. damn.

haha dana and i went crazy in the library, realised we took the same picture, personalised differently, and it was ANNABEL-inspired. hahaha! same format too!

felt like shit after school. GRRRRR i hate it! omg i have no idea wtf i'm doing. intended to go right home after school, but there's this O level talk and i was with dana after that. she's so damn huggable, and i love her so much, thanks for everything you've provided me for. went to the washroom, for a while, then to class, also for a while, then to our sweet sanctuary, then to the waffle shop. she thought we were supposed to buy and leave, but we stayed on the couch for around..an hour plus? sat there talking. about school, mostly. shared stuff with each other,i can tell you that, she's one helluva great person to talk to when you're down, i left that shop feeling so much better than when i walked in. and it's crazy how close we got, i only REALLY knew her in march/april last year. i remember how i looked forward to the short period when i finished my chinese dance item, and she finished her malay, and we would sit or lie down talking while the guests performed. during the cats on string practices.it's always on wednesdays:) and almost a year later, nothing altered, we're still as close as ever, and if something DID change, it's that we got closer. cabbed home at around 4plus. there was a thundestorm:D got half my body drenched just stepping from the bus stop into the cab. i wanted to stay there longer, i felt that we could stay til dark and we still wouldnt run out of the things to say. but we both knew that we had to leave:(
i couldnt stop looking at it that night, it was the only one i had.

All this truth's left me empty
Will you run
Can you handle it
Cause I need you to tell me
Maybe this is bold
But I’m hoping you’ll stay for the happy ending
