how can anybody be virtually uncontactable? especially when the person's your boyfriend. phone that can't call/sms, comp's that's spoilt (AGAIN) and so msn cannot be used. makes me realise how vulnerable our relationship is.

i'm beginning to lose faith.

senile old woman

i just thought, if one day i lose my memory by any chance, my blog may be a good avenue to retrive lost moments.

monday we went to marche for xtina's 18th birthday. joy, qimin, amber and her bf dearest. ruth was grounded. we had nice food, and my part of the pill was just ten bucks. cuz i koped food from everybody else. HAHA.

today is sebas' and mine one year, but being year three, he wa held up in school at fyp meeting. we were supposed to go out for dinner, but i returned home much to the surprise of my mom cuz she didn't buy dinner for me. but we shared what we had and were all comfortably full.

i got chewy juniors home because i haven't eaten proper breakfasts for two mornings.

the deadline to get our bishan soh umbrella was last week, but today some cdc people went to get so i got mine too. damn big, damn heavy, damn auntie. and it can fit four average sized teenagers under, me and sophia tried after exco meeting.

yeah j1-s exco interview (first round) was today. idk if any j1s actually come here, but anyway all i'll say is that decision-making in the end was hard, and we haven't got postitions settled yet. there'll be a second round for shortlisted people. but i'm really thankful for my team of exco, they're really fun people. and i'm still grateful that i got an exco post after barely a month of joining cdc. i must have been a really special person.

so tomorrow's complex numbers lecture test, and i still haven't made out heads and tails of the topic.

it's so amusing, our new vp has a girl's name.

i'm glad i have motivation for what's after a's.

council invest'09

so, one fine afternoon i received an invitation to be the emcee for council invest 2009. apparently L recommended me to A who was the one that asked me and S was supposed to do it with me but she had an appointment on the invest day itself so i was given the chance to choose my partner. i mentioned cheri or Q, and i got cheri in the end.

after two rehearsals, on 15 april 2009, we were released from class by twelve noon to prepare for the ceremony.

last year when the 28th stepped up, i was among the guests, as a council applicant. for each name that was announced, i secretly wished them all the best in the journey that i wasn't bestowed the opportunity to venture on.

this year when the stepped down, i'm at the podium, mentioning at least half the names that ran through my mind the previous year. half just because i had to share them with cheri. each name that i mentioned, it was lined with admiration and blithe as never had they once let me down with the tasks they undertook. each photo on the powerpoint slideshow presented not just the 28th cabinet councillors. they were friends, and very special ones indeed.

i wished i had worked with them more, perhaps like cheri, but if i did, i prolly won't dare to step to the podium, it would be a very emotional goodbye as they bade farewell to their mornings at the grandstand.

i guess it's just my way of being behind them, watching them step up and distributing hugs, hosting their step down and giving yet more hugs.

vivid memories showed me going backstage after they stepped up, i was in tears as my fellow applicants who became elects were donning blazers to show their council status, and jessica and hidayah shared hugs. and jessica was the first one i hugged when i left the lt after the investiture was over yesterday afternoon.

and i almost kissed zhepeng because we turned to the same side to hug each other, lol.

classic was the moment after i announced the staff meeting for teachers. i caught many smiles.

it's a closure for me, definitely. and the house council get-to-know-juniors/seniors session this morning. even though we had to stand at the back of lt5 for the entire chem lecture because dr gan considered us late.

special people, special moments. i'm glad i was given this path in life.

jk's third.

it's so hard to let go.

chicken porridge song had to be stopped from playing because i reached home, yet i couldn't help but play it again then i switched on my ipod this morning.

just like how he was forcibly taken away for us. we may seem to have let go, but time and time again, the memories return, and we still wish he was here.

every 8th april. the third has past.

bishan ccl soh

i was interviewed by sunday times yesterday. for the bishan circle line station civil defence shelter open house. a mouthful of words, i know.

and the whole event at three circle line stations were only given two short paragraphs in today's papers. already shows how important the paper treats the efforts of our civil defence personnel.

anyway, during the interview, i was asked how i feel people of my generation is prepared for emergencies. i told the reporters that we are definitely equipped with all the theory knowledge, but what we need, really, is practical. so i suggested a war.

and they asked for my opinions about the event, and i said it's really beneficial cuz it gives us teenagers and heartlanders (visitors) a greater insight on the defence equipment put in for singaporeans, and it is not often that you see things in such a deep level.

and i proudly pointed out my flexible ventilation duct station, where i had alot of fun with the officers and ns men stationed there. there was this indian man mopping a small corner of the station for hours. like, an area of six tiles. he provided much entertainment as we speculated about how suspicious he is, and how we should run if he starts running away. and the higher up officers laughed everytime i suggested something be done about him, cuz it's really scary.

but i would think that ultimately, the most interesting station should be mel's dry toilet.

and i'm really sorry i was so pissed after lt chai talked to us. firstly it wasn't in a condusive environment as i don't relish staring at white light, and seconly it was a barrage of ideas that would not be able to be carried out before we step down. and trust me, some of them are really ambitious.

i was thinking of using the june scdf camp for my nyaa residential proj, then he said it's postponed indefinitely. but i found something else to do.
