with pretence as your best defence

wednesday: went out with dearyilin, jeenise and liqin after a long long while!! jeenise and i had kaoji (which was BAD) and we took a photo with the nicely and newly renovated shangyin which looks totally different from what it originally was before heading down to tampines mall to pass daniel his birthday present. after that, dinner and talking at pizza hut was great! really miss those times when we would just ball till the sky turned dark after CO and then try to chiong home (haha!) but we never manage to be REALLY FAST eh.. haha. must continue doing that next year ok! esp now move back to tg rhu alr :D thanks for that day, love you guys (:
happy birthday mark! happy birthday daniel! happy birthday fiona! :D

yesterday: after another horrible kaoji, bridged and taitee-d with the crazy juniors (esp yiqi lol 4 spades! :D), pizza hut (again!), went to meet peirong to go ps to watch BOLT! quite a nice show.. surprisingly i enjoyed it, thought it'd be super boring. lol. haha we did pretty embarrassing stuff at swenson's (ahem!) but it was really fun. take care girl and have a nice trip! :D

today: woke up at a rather unearthly time this morning to go to some jelutung cc (at SEMBAWANG!) to help my aunt for her childcare's family day. liqin came along too! (: thanks!! thanks to my cousins and bro, liqin got 'selected' for the prestigious job of being a judge during the sports events and the very nice her conveniently volunteered me to be the remaining judge. 真是好朋友! lol. and my beloved cousin later conferred the title of a photographer on me, and obviously i dragged liqin into the job as well! :D so we were basically jostling with the super enthusiastic parents at the front of the stage, snapping away furiously while the children present their items, and repeatedly went crazy over how cute they were! the performances were pretty great, featuring quite a wide variety, but those put up by the younger ones weren't all that 'successful', some of them crying and refusing to go on stage, but they were super cute nonetheless! the older ones were generally more at ease, and really danced and had fun! these were the little princes and princesses who so enjoy being in the limelight! :D besides that, we pretty much ran all around after the super energetic children, trying (but basically to no avail) to get them to sit down in their groups, and standing at a side, helpless, when they did not stop crying. but overall, in conclusion, KIDS.ARE.SUPER.CUTE! (apart from the crying, bawling, screaming, running all over the place, and leaving you feeling helpless) :D you be the judge!! (:

last but not least, thanks for always being there <3

on sidenote, "at first sight" by nicholas sparks is a really good book with a really unexpected twist. if you are one looking for something emotional and touching, and something to inspire you to think about life's fragility amidst all the other life morals it advocates, maybe you'd want to give it a try (:

how does one decide whether something/someone is worth all the effort?

when you feel the indescribable joy when you see the completed thing, know you'd do anything just to see that smile, that approving nod... that's when you know.

but appreciation is a fairytale ending, and fairytale endings don't happen in reality.

deep inside you know i feel it too.

introduced by pris lee, and never got out of my head. see lar girl, all your fault o.0

突然好想你

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈

突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你带我走过最难忘的旅行
然後留下最痛的纪念品

我们那麽甜那麽美那麽相信
那麽疯那麽热烈的曾经
为何我们还是要奔向各自的幸福和遗憾中老去

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈

突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

最怕此生已经决定自己过没有你
却又突然听到你的消息

a bad apology is worse than no apology - the last lecture (randy pausch)
