Halloween '09
Went over to TS' with S and JZ (not in picture above- Sorry I don't like the other photo so I don't want to put it up ;_; )
IT WAS FUN! The whole neighbourhood was really enthusiatic and the whole atmosphere was there (along with a drizzle) and we got quite a fair bit of candy. Bumped into Abigail and Xinni along the way, it was funny.
Graduation (06.11.09)
Hey, whoever's reading this on my LJ (Loyee/Chongmin/Wanting/Cheryl/Ysabel/Jingzhi/Zephyr), it's been a really good two years. I remember being a total brat and crying over my class allocation tons of times during the first week of school in Sec 3 because I really hated being in our class a lot. I felt completely out of place and wary of everyone around me. I guess I was really intimidated by the sudden swop and the surroundings just didn't fit me and instead of trying to fit in, I just took the easier way out and blamed everything/everyone else. And cried. It was hard, having to be with people whom I didn't know how they thought of me and many (Haha, Cheryl, Wanting) who I weren't on good terms with at all. I have to admit, the first year was hard. There were loads of things going on, problems with my work, my attitude, my cca, my family, my friends... basically my whole life because most of the time I wasn't clear on what I wanted or that I just... gave up on myself. I remember crying a whole lot, failing math really badly, giving the worst sort of attitude during lessons... Sleeping, not paying attention, not handing up work, skipping class... Losing trust, losing faith, losing friends. By the end of the year after I got back from Shanghai I wanted everything to change, I just hated myself being the way I was and I told myself I'd have to work harder and treat people better... I realised I really liked my class a lot. People were nice and friendly, thoughtful, sincere. When I'd cry in class some would come up to me with concern and ask what's wrong, hand me tissue or just give me a hug... When I'd need help for anything you guys would just gladly extend that helping hand (or worksheet for that matter, here's a special mention to Chongmin: Thank you. Without your help in my work, I never would have passed Chemistry in Sec 3. I really really appreciate your patience and your willingness to teach us all the time.) It's so hard to imagine my life without the laughter from our class. Our crazy, random outbursts and wit. I'll miss our wit... It's different and has become so close to my heart. Hahaha and all the correcting-each-other stuff. All the encouragement from all my lovely classmates... The awesome PE lessons filled with screams and adrenaline-fuelled-enthusiasm (seriously!) People (Natalee, Jingzhi, Wanting) falling asleep everywhere... Random outbursts of song during lessons/ walking down corridors (Britney Spears seems to be our favourite... And the oldies, don't forget MLTR... Haha) Our zaniness is irreplaceable! This could go on and on but I guess I just want to say that I really appreciate and will miss you guys. It's something more than just missing the people and things/whatever because you guys have helped me learn and grow so much over these 2 years. So for what it's worth, a big thank you to all of you. Also, thaank you for accepting me!!! I can be a real bitch sometimes and I may say what I don't mean so thanks for putting up with me :-) I love you guys!!! <3 This is not goodbye! If you see me down the corridor/ anywhere in school next year, you know I'll be flashing a smile and a wave!!!

And to the No Friends Club:
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! A lot. We've all come a long way. From hating each other... to being one of the best bunch of friends I could ever ask for.

The weekend
Saturday we had a team lunch (sans sick minhui :-( ) with Mr Wee at SRC, it was good :-)
In the evening I went for my Granduncle's wake... Mum said I would recognise him when I saw his picture, and I did... I think I used to see him a lot when I was younger. He was in bad health recently (cancer...) and he went suddenly. Today we sent him off. The hardest part of it all was watching my Grandfather cry. My Granduncle was his younger brother. I felt so... horrible.
I also did zero chinese work over the weekend. I know this is going to hurt me but I could not have it any other way either. I don't know what to do.
