Hey! This is Jesmine but there are a thousand and one others out there who calls her Jia Min too! She's (finally) 18 and is more than happy to be showered with gifts on the nineth day of the third month each year. She's currently mugging in Nanyang Junior College with a bunch of cute people in 1002, but she still loves and misses her alma mater, TKGS together with her dearest 4e1 very very much. She ditched her 4-years long CCA, netball, for singing - both in choir and as a soloist (Just don't ask her to sing Don't Cry For Me, Argentina. It's Marisa's new ploy to watch a free show! And I know poor Bren's sick of playing it!) She's been stuck in Alto 2 in choir for a good ol' 5 years while her dearest conductor is still deciding whether to leave her there or transfer her somewhere else, but she takes the performing role of a mezzosoprano as a soloist (and communicate her 3-octave range using her perfect pitch to her rocking friends who in turn gives her nicknames of innate objects such as tuning fork, piano and amplifier. :/) Oops, she nearly forgot to mention that she was a part of the Superwomen(Student Welfare) committee of the Prefectorial Board back in the good ol' TKGS days. She's awesomely proud to be an Latter-Day Saint, and savouring her last year as a Laurel before she gets kicked out of YW. She loves her family and friends to bits, and in her (very little) free time, adores chilling out with her friends, attend concerts, shopping (and window shopping too. Money don't fall from the sky, y'know.), singing, tinkling on the piano, blogging, FBing and there's so much more she'll prolly need a thousand pages for her to fill up her "LOVES&HOBBIES" section. Flowers, cute huggable soft toys, helium balloons and (hand-written) letters and notes are some of her favourite things.♥

PS: I can/can't believe you just spent/wasted 5 minutes of your life reading her introductory speech. Btw, she LOVES people who tag on her tagboard, so do make sure you let her know that you were here! Have an awesome day anyway! (:

I sit and watch the rain, and see my tears run down the window pane

Long post, here I go.

Before I start, I shall help my brothers promote their carnival tickets.

CARNIVAL III (A joint carnival by ACS(BR) and ACS(P))
11th July 2009.
9.30am - 4.30pm.
ACS Barker Road Campus.
Carnival coupons are S$10.00 each.
Interested parties can approach me/Jace on MSN/ FB/ SMS/ Tagboard/ Call/ Any other means to get us. Get your friends to go with you!
THANK YOU!!! :)

We need to sell off ALL 40 tickets! Thanks for your support in advance! :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CNY was pretty awesome this year, cos I got to catch up with all my cousin plus my dear Sidney over at my dad's side and I totally miss her oh-so-cutesy voice and adorable face! Haha. Went over to KM's and my maternal grandparents place on monday(初一) and over to Aunty LL, CX's and Rox姐姐's place on tuesday(初二). Didn't get as many red packets this year since we hardly visited the extended extended relatives for a reason I do not intend to disclose, but it was totally awesome just sitting around, chatting, having yusheng, screaming the answers to the questions on WHO HAS THE BIGGEST BRAIN/giving words on WORD CHALLENGE on facebook over at CX's place, attempting to play card games, playing with our gonna-turn-3-and-now-real-hyperactive niece, retarded camwhoring(we prolly have more than a hundred snapshots of Sid!)...

Over to Rox姐姐's place on Wed to pay respect before heading over to Bugis to meet EC and Gloria Lim to get back-to-school items(More like Gloria and I getting a school bag each, really. EC got hers ages ago and just tagged along.) since Gloria wanted to get it so badly. Haha. Sat at Long John's after school-bag shopping and chatted for a really long time. Haha. We were intending to bus home but apparently, Gloria couldn't find the bus no. she took to Bugis so we had to train home instead! :P

Met up with Ying'er, Myra and Salted Pig on Thursday for a lunch date followed by a the Bridewars movie. Met Ying'er at 11.35 (I was supposed to meet Myra at 11.30, but apparently she thought it was 12.30, so yea) and walked around to look for some food place (since we were early and it totally slipped our minds about getting the tickets.) and finally decided on Gelare instead of the initial plan to Sakae Sushi when Myra finally reached. We were sitting down and waiting for the food when we realised I forgot to purchase the tickets so Myra and I walked to Marina Square to get em' whilst Ying'er continued waiting for the food. Heh. She called up just as we got to purchased the movie tickets just to inform us that the food was there so we kinda hurried back(or did we?) to Gelare. Salted Pig was totally late, on time to see me finish half of my food and the other 2 finish theirs. (Ohmy, I'm becoming a snail... D:) Anyway, had fun chatting and catching up with our lives over dessert before heading over to HMV (since we had 50 mins to spare). Salted Pig left after that and the 3 of us went to GV to catch Bridewars. The show's hilarious, and I'll suggest you go to watch it :P As we were making our way out after the show, guess who I saw? EC and Jessica! Haha. EC was totally shocked, Jessica started laughing and Myra was like "How cool is this?". Heh. Walked to Millenia walk (cos Myra wanted to go to Candy Empire, though she didn't get anything in the end.) and Ying'er got a Wang(汪)(Mango flavoured) donut which Myra apparently wanted to kope! Super funny! Walked back to Cityhall MRT before training home. Long phone calls in the evening with Sab and EC, worrying about posting on friday.

I had the most disastrous morning yesterday. Was doing scripture mastery in church at 6ish in the morning when my phone rang. Was feeling so tense but I just opened the msg and I totally just stared at the msg, trying to sink the terrible reality into my head but it didn't happen. My mind was just, ______________________. Smses were bombarding my inbox, I think there were more than 30 smses just asking where I've been posted to, and a couple of phonecalls. Bottomline: I'm appealing. I wanna get out of there, and into my first choice. Submitted my appeal form online before I accompanied my aunt to one of my grandaunt's place..

And since when were 8A1s not accepted into RJ?

Meh, I'm feeling really sad right now. And EC & Jessica's dragging me out for retail therapy later. Not for them, but for me. (thank you very much, your good intentions have very much been appreciated.) And over to Bishop's place for dinner tonight. I should try to feel happy. And keep praying that my appeal will be successful. :D

Alright, before I continue degrading myself and start feeling all stupid and depressed, I'll should just stop here.
Just sms me. It's easier.
Xoxo.

I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine

I promise a relatively long account for the week with photos tomorrow because I'm exhausted from all the outing + phonecalls today (No I'm not blaming you guys, I was just feeling exhausted but I still love you guys).
For now, all those 16-going-to-17/17/17-going-to-18-people who are anxiously waiting, tearing your hair out over it, don't worry and ATB for your posting results tomorrow :P (Cos trust me, I should be more worried than anyone else!)

欢迎大地回春






新年快乐,万事如意。
红包拿来! I'm kidding!

Haha, anyway, Reunion dinner last night was A BLAST!
And we were all SOOOOOOOOOO HIGH with SID. Hahaha.
The "ribbit" & "woof woof", hogging of Sid's new tent bought by PeiPei姐姐 from IKEA a couple of days ago, Chu Xian's retarded singing during the retarded UNO game, Mun insisting on playing that PLUS MINUS SNAP which was so so so so HILARIOUS cos Jace kept getting the cards and and...
IN SHORT, IT WAS AWESOME. TOTALLY.
The retarded UNO game video. Well, it's just slightly over a min. Good source of laughter. (Too bad I can't upload it on FB. Bah. D: )

I want to play bridge tomorrow, pretty please? :D
And Marsk哥哥 is so gonna teach me mahjong on tuesday over at CX's place. Hahahahahaha :P

Okay, more updates tomorrow, and a couple more pictures. But once again, if you're so anxious about seeing MORE reunion pictures, they've been uploaded on FB. Haha. :P
3 hours to CNY!
Xoxo.

And normally I would just forget that

Heyy! Haven't blogged for a week, so I'm here to fill you guys in a bit really briefly :)

Monday: Went down to the office to help type the barcodes. Till now, I'm only half done. Crap. I want to finish it by today...

Tuesday: Piano lessons in the afternoon followed by a trip to the polyclinic. Not fun. ):


Wednesday: Out with YQ to get her CNY clothes from Far East. And she got a vest, a white cute tee, a mini dress...


Thursday: I've decided to follow my parents to Johore for their business trip. And I got two pair of shoes and a pink tee! :P Watched Don't forget the lyrics at night and I thought the contestants' singing are B.L.E.A.R.G.H. Very disappointing... ):


Today: Audition at _________ JC. Which umm, went relatively good, I guess. Haha. Well, I managed to brave the audition and impromptu interview (they said it was only an audition!) whereby they asked like 1,000,001 questions!
Audition: The conductor started with warmups in ascending order and so he tested my high range. After that he asked which section I was in secondary school and when I said alto 2, the teachers + conductors were like "huh?" and stared at me in disbelief. And one of them said "Does your school have too many sops that they put you in alto...". Conductor then tested my low range and...
Interview: 1 word. Insane! Ask me for the details on MSN/call/sms/whatever, I'm not gonna write everything here cos it's too long... Haha :P
But I felt happy enough. Because this time I did try my best, even though I had that phelgmy cough which unfortunately hindered my performance quite a bit. Now I just have to pray that I get through, yet pray that I do not have to appeal to get in. Lol!
Met Sab at PP later on and "walk-walk" for awhile before heading home, and here I am, blogging right now. Haha. :P

I'm feeling really excited now cos I'm meeting my extended family for reunion dinner tomorrow! I SHALL BRING MY CAM! :D *jumps for joyyy!* And BRIDGE! (Ahh, thank you Zhu Yi for teaching KM&I!) I'm TOTALLY EXCITED, as you can see! :P

Tag replies before I end:
Li Hsing: Nooooo! You're really really good okay, I promise. I can only wish to be half as good as you. Haha.

Marisa: #215's nice! You need to end an old year to start a new one! :D

Amanda Loh: I read your tag! And yes, we should totally combine this year. I'm probably running out of ideas wrt presents to get for Myra! And I haven't even got her last year present yet! (Should have gotten that pack of spongebob cards Dx )

Andres: Haha, thank you! And I hope you'll endure your final and crucial year at VS and I'm sure you'll get into your RJ/VJ next year! Jiayou! xD

Alright, better continue my barcoding now, or I'll never finish by tonight! 100< left! ):

2 days to CNY!
Xoxo.

I'm leaving on a jet plane

I'm really glad I went for the fireside today.
Awesome is an understatement, really. There isn't a word to even describe how the fireside went! :)
Sis Anderson was so spiritual in her thought, and Bro Anderson was really amusing. And and he has this "How Americans view Mormanism" book which is totally RAD with a capital R! :D

And thank you, Amanda Loh and Myra for looking me up after your ward's fireside to talk to me. Haha. And ward conference today was cool :P Food was yumyum (you get good food in church okay!) and Amanda got caught by Pres Lai for snitching food and he said something like "So are you paying tithing to AMK Ward?" Haha. Sorry Mandie, but it was funny :P

Lastly, thank you to all of you for being such wonderful friends, cheering me up when I was feeling so down. Even though I might not have said so right in front of your face(okay, this sounds wrong.), I am really grateful to each and everyone of your concern.

YM: To you, even though it might seem "委屈" for me to drop from a GWH to a Silver Choir (I know you(not YM) are gonna take out that JAE booklet and start flipping to the pages searching for Silver Choirs), I can and will still work my way up.

I'll learn to be strong and face reality. I promise.
And I lovelovelovelovelove being a Mormon!

Gotta help out at the office tomorrow!s
And guess what'? There isn't Seminary from the 26th-28th Jan due to CNY! Yay to extra sleep and not having to wake up at 4plus in t morning! :D

Tag replies!

Li Hsing: I know superb is an understatement! You're like one of the best teenage pianist I've ever ever ever met apart from Jane and the L person (I'm sure you can guess who it is)! :P

Sab: Haha. You random woman ah! Trying to lure me into saying that buying cheap stuff makes me happy right? But I admit that pair of berms/shorts made me happy happy! Yay! :P

Okay, Dad's wants me to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz now. So I shall be a good girl and do as such.
Xoxo.

Saturday, January 17, 2009
Chasing cars

Hey!

I'll do tag replies first. Heehee :D


Sab: Haha. Yes, you were happily hounded by lost travellers while I stroll towards PL MRT. Heehee :P *Gloats* Kidding! And buying cheap stuff DOES make you happy! Haha :)


Amanda Loh: Because I love choir! :D And it isn't very many choir questions... :) Haha. And don't worry, I'm feeling a lot better now. I'll talk to you face to face soon(tomorrow!). :D


Sethrina: Hi Sethrina! Lol. Like Amanda Loh, I'll talk to you tomorrow about it.


Gloria: Umm, because I don't check out everyone's blog all the time? And I think that was since Sec 1/2? Heehee :)


Marisa: Lol, somehow I'm not sure how you've been inspired to tell that to me, but, okay. Jiayou! :D


Marie: I'll talk to you during fireside(If there is one, I think!) tomorrow! Haha.


Alright, the others have probably been replied earlier :P


Anyway, went CNY shopping with Sab and _______(She wants me to keep it private!) yesterday and I'm so glad I managed to buy some clothes (okay, more like 1 piece for CNY!).
Read Sab's blog for details; I'm lazy to type. Heehee.

Salted Pig left for China this morning, Putt's leaving for Thailand tomorrow...
Bon Voyage and have fun back home dears!
And Happy Sweet Seventeenth Birthday Li Hsing the superb pianist! :D

Xoxo.

Our album need just one

After 4 days of intense deliberation, tears and mulling over in isolation, I have decided.

It's time to let go of my old dream,
and pursue a new dream.

Bye M______, hi P_______.
Please let me get into **** with the BCME combi. I need it. Totally.

Xoxo.

Monday, January 12, 2009

When I was holidaying in Korea on the 2nd night at Vivaldi Park(Such a cool resort name right?), I had this
dream/nightmare about collecting my results and it showed 14 - 4 and I was
posted to SA. And I was screaming "APPEAL APPEAL!".

Truth
is, with 10 points, I can't even get into SA. -.-
And when I went to KM's place that day, she told me how Wei said he was scared for me. So touched. :)

Hardly slept last night. At 3am, I was still wide awake and that was when my phone battery went dead. ):

Geraldine was especially nice today cos for scripture thought today, she picked a scripture verse specially for me.

"Pray always, that you may come off conqueror; yea, that you may conquer
Satan, and that you may escape the hands of the servants of Satan that do uphold
his work."
- Doctrine and Covenants 10:5


In approx 5 hours, I need to settle down, sink into reality and move on.
And I'll cry for joy, not in sorrow. I know I will.
Waiting for YQ to come over to my place right now. Hahahaha.
Xoxo.

Sunday, January 11, 2009
Have you ever wondered...

15 Hours till the doom hour. It's nerve-wrecking, isn't it?
But like almost every other 16/17 year-old who's probably suffering from insomnia right now, I shall be cliche and say all the best for tomorrow, because you'll never know when a miracle will appear right in front of your eyes.

Mum asked me just now.
Mum: Jesmine, are you going to school after seminary tomorrow?
Me: It's WAY TO EARLY! I'll be there even before the other students arrive!

And my dad found my really really old black shoes in the shoe closet! I was thinking of wearing my pinafore beforehand. Well, I MIGHT probably wear my pinafore to school tomorrow! :D

And I really wanna see my name up on that I've improved by leaps and bounds board. I really do.

And thank you, to everyone who has wished me luck on my journey to doom hour and who have helped me along the way. I'll never forget all of you who have accompanied me along this treacherous journey.

I'll attempt to take a short nap. (Yes, like the almost every other 16/17 year-old who are probably taking 1/6/7/8/9 subjects at 1400h tomorrow, I'm suffering from insomnia and I need to wake up at 4.30am for seminary tomorrow. How antagonizing.)

Adieu, and you'll probably hear from me tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
Xoxo.

Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to

Back from Sis Serene's place! The BBQ food was good, especially the chicken wings! And the missionaries were really funny! Haha :D And Cookie, the carnivore!

Then I remembered saying "I'm not a funny person!" and Sis Serene started laughing. Lol!


Tuition this afternoon was alright, though I was scared okay! Haha. There's always a first time right? (:


Okay, some pictures from the lunch date with Chun Ling and Jasmine & tonight's BBQ at Sis Serene's, as promised previously! :D

Jasmine meditating with her new (mini) boyfriend (you'll get to see him later! :D)
Senior Junior Senior!
Jasmine, Chun Ling, Jia Min!
Presenting: Jasmine's newest summer fling! :D
We heart SW loads! (Chun Ling was trying to make an exclaimation mark! ;D )
Hungry people.
Marisa attempted to squeeze all of us in, but...
The rest of the photos are up on facebook! And I've uploaded almost everything else up there too, so go get em'!
Alright, goodnightgoodday, it's 12.51am!
Thank goodness for afternoon sessions church meetings at 1pm! :D
-ONE DAY!
Xoxo.

Feel the beat from the tambourine

I spent today sitting down in the office, in front of the lappy, furiously rushing out the barcodes since 8am. (and still doing it now! I didn't get to sleep at home today; I'm totally sleep deprived.) I even had breakfast and lunch in front of the same lappy! Super super tiring, and I sat down for almost 9hours (with the exception of a toilet break) and I still can't finish. Bah :( But my aunts were very nice; they were happily stuffing me with food(Macs and ice cream!). Haha :P

And I just realised something dumb.

I CAN'T FIND MY SCHOOL SHOES! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO TKGS ON MONDAY? ):
Anyone kind enough to loan me a pair of black shoes? Size 8/9 :D

Hotmail's having this cyber war with me - it's refusing to let me open my email to look at the photos, so I'll try again tomorrow ):

I'll continue with the barcoding stuff first thing tomorrow morning. Followed by tuition with KM's student (Taking over for a couple of weeks) before going over to Sis Serene's place for the bbq. Haha!
- Three days.
Xoxo.

[EDIT] By the way, if you actually did the quiz, the last answer's a bit screwed, the right answer is NOT CGSS. (duh!) And if you haven't done it... DO IT NOW! :P

你的手却放不开,宁愿没出息求我别离开

Booya!

Back from Cityhall! :P

Today was reallyreally fun; lunched with Chun Ling and Jasmine Tan at New York New York (Food's good but ex.). Jasmine was wearing this really cute tee that says I♥YOU (Just kidding) and then she said "This doesn't apply to you." Hahaha :P And thank you for the letter and the present Chun Ling! :) So anyway, we ate and chatted there for more than 2 hours. Haha. I think the waitresses there might have been annoyed.

Walked around aimlessly and chatted at Marina Square after that and sat down at Macs (without buying anything, woopsie!) and continued chatting before more aimless walking. Finally found a place to sit outside Marina Square and camwhore a bit (Pictures are with Chun Ling, will put em' here when she emails them :D) and I found Jasmine's new boyfriend! (He's/It's really really cute :P) before leaving for home.

Thanks for the fun-tastic lunch date today, my dear seniors :D

Suddenly, I'm reminded of Sab's "Buying cheap stuff make me happy." Haha. Don't ask me why :P

And Ronald, thank you for, umm attempting to calm my nerves(?) when you saw my MSN nickname. Haha :D

Divine am I in nature by inheritance

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/400799/1/.html

Unfortunately, I'm happily/insanely screaming/throwing tantrums/annoying/whatever I'm doing and to Brenda and KM just now. I'm sorry, I really am.

I was so nervous crazy insane, I couldn't do a fricking P5 math question a minute ago. Urgh. O.O

Like Brenda mentioned a million and one times in the last half an hour, I seriously need to CHILL.

I'm so nervous, I need a HAPPY MEAL! (Mac's gonna be in high demand soon! - see the rubbish I'm writing right now? :P)
Okay, I need to rest. Take a breather, think of what kinda clothes I'm gonna get for CNY and feel happy and high about the lunch date I have with Chun Ling and Jasmine Tan! :D I'm gonna find Jasmine a new boyfriend tomorrow! Hmm, shall I choose the table, the spoon, the fork or the tissue? :P (She always have an unusual taste for boyfriends and unfortunately, their relationship doesn't go beyond 3 months. Haha.)

attempts to show a wide wide grin across my face.

Alrighty, adieu. More updates tomorrow, for tonight I still need to get my beauty rest till Sunday.

- Five days.

Xoxo.


MONDAY. AKA D-DAY. AKA RELEASE OF RESULTS!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (I'M FREAKING OUT SO MUCH, I'M GONNA HYPERVENTILATE SOON! D:)

Tuesday, January 06, 2009
Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong

When you're really bored with nothing much to do, do quizzes! Haha :D
Nyehnyeh :P




You Are Confident and Secure



You are practically immune to insecurity and self doubt.

You're comfortable with who you are, and if someone doesn't like you - that's not your problem.

Some people think you're too confident, but that's just their insecurities shining through.

Your confidence carries you through your worst moments, because you know you'll always come out fine.



Okayy, I never knew that. Lol.




You Are 30% Vain



Okay, so you're slightly vain from time to time, but you're not superficial at all.

You are realistic. You know that looks matter. You just try to make them matter less.



Girls are naturally more vain, right(:




You Are 80% Extrovert, 20% Introvert



You are as outgoing as they come

The life of the party, you're friends with everyone

You're a people person, and you are quite the entertainer

You love being around a crowd and acting spontaneously



Thanks to TKGS, if not it would have been 20% extrovert and 80% introvert. Really. Haha :P




Your Scholastic Strength Is Evaluating



You are great at looking at many details and putting them all together.

You are talented at detecting subtle trends, accuracy, and managing change.



You should major in:



Statistics

Speech

Conflict studies

Communication

Finance

Medicine



Ohno, I'm seeing statistics AGAIN. Which reminded me of the job quiz we had to do for one of the lagacy periods. ): But yay for one of the options! Go guess. Haha :P




You Are A Pistachio Ice Cream Girl



Funky. Surprising. Wild.






You are Extroverted, Conscientious, Agreeable and Open



Extroversion:



You have high extroversion.

You are outgoing and engaging, with both strangers and friends.

You truly enjoy being with people and bring energy into any situation.

Enthusiastic and fun, you're the first to say "let's go"!



Conscientiousness:



You have high conscientiousness.

Intelligent and reliable, you tend to succeed in life.

Most things in your life are organized and planned well.

But you borderline on being a total perfectionist.



Agreeableness:



You have high agreeableness.

You are easy to get along with, and you value harmony highly.

Helpful and generous, you are willing to compromise with almost anyone.

You give people the benefit of the doubt and don't mind giving someone a second chance.



Neuroticism:



You have low neuroticism.

You are very emotionally stable and mentally together.

Only the greatest setbacks upset you, and you bounce back quickly.

Overall, you are typically calm and relaxed - making others feel secure.



Openness to experience:



Your openness to new experiences is medium.

You are generally broad minded when it come to new things.

But if something crosses a moral line, there's no way you'll approve of it.

You are suspicious of anything too wacky, though you do still consider creativity a virtue.



I'm not intelligent. ):




You Are Half Baked Ice Cream



In reality, you're just a quarter baked



Okay, I'm half baked :P




You Are a Powdered Devil's Food Donut



A total sweetheart on the outside, you love to fool people with your innocent image.

On the inside you're a little darker, richer, and more complex.

You're a hedonist who demands more than one pleasure at a time.

Decadent and daring, you test the limits of human indulgence.



Uhhhh... (Rendered speechless)




You Are 8% Shy



You aren't shy at all, in fact, you're quite outgoing.

You are comfortable in almost any social situation, no matter how awkward or difficult it may be.

You can make conversation easily, and you know how to focus on other people.

If anything, you're the type of person who can put someone shy at ease.



Once again, a round of applause to TKGS.

WHINY PART'S STARTING. Beware! :/
Alright, to a more serious tone now. I'm confused how people are asking when the results are coming out (I really don't know) and predicting (I suppose) when it'll be out. I've heard numbers between 9th to 15th Jan, but just today, one of my juniors said that her brother's school said that it'll be out on the 2nd Feb. WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT ):

In short: We'll know when we need to know. Asking me/Making me all tense isn't gonna help. At all.

Enough of all these junk. I need fresh air. Right now.
Adieu.

Xoxo.

Lovers walk along the shore and leave their footprints in the sand

Round,
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Like the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that you said?
Lovers walk along the shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the colour of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

I remember choir singing this song (well, some parts of the lyrics weren't inside though), but it was really a beautiful song. Sigh, I'm feeling nostelgic again...

Anyway, met with Sab to look for her CNY clothes. Initially, she suggested Far East (since she bought her prom dress from there) but we ended up at Bugis Street (since I thought she would get relatively similar clothes at more affordable price, yay! :P) and she ended up buying a top, a dress and a mini cardigan. Haha. And treated me to Tako (to pay up for the commission) before we head back home. Lol. :P

Just watched 小娘惹 and I thought the ending left me hanging in the air quite a bit. I've stil got questions unanswered. Bah. ):

Btw, I updated my blogshop! Visit www.prettyprettything.blogspot.com ;P

And I have decided to reply all the tags here so that if you see someone tagging with my name there, someone's impersonating me. I shall start replying those from 1st Jan onwards okay (unless you really want me to reply those before that, tell me. lol!) :P

Deb: Yes, DAEL, I love you too! And I've no idea why my blog's so W I D E. I think it's the blogskin. ): But I kinda like the blogskin. :P
Sab: Yay, you're going to TJ's openhouse with me :D
Sher: Bero, you're telling me the same stuff Bren tagged, so I've changed the layout already. Tell me it's a lot clearer now :D Heehee :)

Alright, need to go off now. Nights :D

Xoxo.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face

Back from the first day of my last year in Seminary. Lol.
And Jia Xing was happily asking me to do the scripture thought today. -.-
Anyway, when Sis Hoe was giving out the same notebooks we were given out last year, that same year 2 photo that was taken 2 years ago stared straight into my face.

Things that I missed...
I missed the times I had over at bukit timah, especially in Year 1 and 2.
I missed Year 1's class spirit. Very much. (When Seminary was still centralised over at Bukit Timah and there were >25 of us.)
I missed all the crazy jokes that lifted everyone's spirits.
I missed studying the scriptures with the same age group people whom I'm close to.
I missed the very dramatic/amusing/interactive lessons that made us laugh for the entire 45 mins.
I missed the Year 2's birthday funeral-sounding song they sang to me during my birthday. (You'll never find anyone else singing birthday songs at 5.45am.)
I missed sitting next to Amanda Xu. (and sometimes getting her to wake up to listen to Sis Helen. Lol!)
I missed doing scripture mastery with plenty and plenty of help from them. With Ying'er and Myra the PROs. :D
I missed catching up homework over at Bukit Timah because I know I can SOS anyone there anytime and they'll be more than willing to help you. (I remember Sis Doreen asking Kenneth Lee to look through/mark some of my homework because I missed too much and had to do so much to cover up to graduate with an 80% attendance. Haha.)
I missed holidays after-seminary hangout time to chill with the most awesome people.
I missed... EVERYTHING over there.
There's so much more I missed, but if I'm gonna write everything down, 2 blog posts wouldn't even be enough.

Feeling nostelgic. I mean, it's really hard not to. Sigh.

Going out with Sab later since she wanna get her CNY clothes. Haha. And I'll probably source around for mine too :D

Shall blog again tonight :P

I shall leave with you the scripture thought I shared this morning.

"What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine voice or by the voice ot my servants, it is the same."
- Doctrine & Covenant 1:38
Xoxo.

[/EDIT]
Brenda & Sherlyn, I've changed the colour for my tagboard.
Please tell me you can see the words much more clearly right now. :D

Xoxo.

I've been living with a shadow overhead

Short update here.

Went back to school yesterday morning with Ee Chien and Sakina to get our Eagles and Good Progress cheques respectively and met up with some of the teachers. When we walked in to the main gate, that ___ security guard was happily calling "Ong Jia Min!". So paiseh, esp. when I'm not in school uniform! o.o Haha. Mrs Chan was commenting about how my clothes, shoes and bag matched and we were all laughing. Not that I ever noticed that. Haha. And Mrs Foo is pregnant! (: Haha. Met Miss Tong and chatted to her for awhile (more like taking away half her recess, sorry!) and she managed to help me find a willing buyer for my Haydn book, but I'm a bit annoyed by the fact that the girls this year managed to buy the book for $19.00/$19.90 at 40% discount. That's at the very LEAST $10 CHEAPER! Can buy 2 meals already ): Trained down and took a shuttle bus with Sakina to Marina Barrage to meet up with Yi Ai, Sab, Sheree, Whimsy and Verity and went around exploring the area before going down to Suntec to play a round of Archery. Lol. It was fun. Haha. Well, lazy to do an update on it since I think most of them already updated on it so, go check out their blogs. Heehee(: And apparently, Travis wasted idk how many smses degrading himself about not being able to sing better than me since I've got voice lessons and he doesn't until my phone batt went completely flat. Lol.

Went down to VJ for choir audition since they msged me yesterday and I realised I need to train alot harder on my mid range because they're not up to standard. (I really want to blame it on morning voice, but I'll rather not deceive myself.) Low range was still decent and high range wasn't as bad as mid range. Lol. Gonna spend an hour a day doing warmups ;P Same to piano too(: Spent the rest of the day lying around at home sleeping, watching telly and reading twilight. Heehee. I want to watch twilight! :P I'm halfway through the book now and it's a good read, especially when you have nothing to do. Heehee(:

Mum's telling me to buy my CNY clothes already. I can't believe CNY's so early this year!
And O level results before that, I'm pretty sure. I've heard loads of 12ths and 15ths already. Lol! Though I'm feeling anxious and all those butterflies in my tummy, I NEED to get the feeling over. Urgh. And get good or at least decent results to get into a decent JC. I'm hoping the Seoul nightmare won't come true - well, actually it probably doesn't even make very much sense. ):

Anyway, I'm planning to go for some of the open houses. Text/Leave a tag on cbox me if you wanna go with me :D
13th Jan - TJ Openhouse!
14th Jan - RJ Openhouse!
Tell me if there are any other openhouses that you would like me to go. Haha.
And if anyone wants to go down to TKGS, please tell me too! I need to pass Miss Tong the Haydn book. (and wants company :D)

Alright, I'm aiming to finish my Twilight today. Yayness!
And I realised church starts only at 1pm tmr, not at 9am. Double Yayness!

Xoxo.

Mama Mia, here I go again

2nd post for the day!!!
Haha :P I'm just having the let's-blog-whilst-we-still-can feeling. haha. :D
Happy 2009 (once again!) and Happy Birthday to my bestest senior Samantha Lim!
Although you're only 2 months and 8 days older than me, you're still my senior and all the best in your future endeavours and 'A's!
I remember you being one of the few seniors who actually calls me dear, the one who's always there listening to my crazy ramblings. Even though you graduated a year earlier, you still came to look for me whenever you came down to TKGS.
We need to meet up with Chun Ling soon. Before your school starts!

New Year has been great so far, came back from Casey's place at about 1.30pm before slacking/stoning/watching TV/sleeping at the couch. I'm a lazy and tired bum :P Went out with my and KM's family for dinner (well, it's suppose to be goodbye-we'll-miss-you-2008 that was supposed to take place last night instead of a welcome-to-2009 dinner, I suppose). Heehee. I'm feeling a bit paiseh now. *blushes*

Well, just a couple of New Year Resolutions for myself. (In no particular order.)
1. Decent L1R5 to get into a decent JC.
2. Stay strong in the church, go for activities.
3. Get into choir in JC. I really miss singing in choir.
4. Being more self disciplined.
5. Stop screaming like I'm still in TKGS. Haha.
6. Stop whacking people so hard just because they start teasing me. Lol.
7. Manage my time well. I really need to.
8. Decent promo grades.
9. Complete my final year of seminary and the scripture masteries too. I miss seminary lessons at Bukit Timah so much. There's always institute next year :D
10. Attempt to finish at least half of personal progress. Faith, Divine Nature, Knowledge, Choice and Accountability, Good Works, Integrity.
11. To stay happy, blessed and loved like I've been for the past 16 years of my life :)
12. I'm not telling you. Shh :P (我知道你正在想歪, 不要想歪! :P) Haha.

I'm still feeling high and crazy from last night! And the feeling that my voice's going off fromo all the screaming last night/this morning. What would you expect from a girl who started screaming since 9pm due to all the crazy stuff she did and only falling asleep past 7am in the morning? :P & Jones and Sethrina have been pestering me who I danced with last night/this morning. Lol! I need my beauty sleep right now.

And I need to start pacing my life. Seminary's starting next week, so I've got to refresh my previous routine and start waking up at 4.30am again. Awwwww ):

cinori woh. ecnad tsal s'enoemos koot i, gninrom. ecnad tsrif s'enoemos koot i, thgin tsal.
go figure :D

I just realised that there are 80 people online now. On MSN, to be exact. Wow. Haha :D
& ohmy, it's 12.08am now. I need to meet EC and Sakina later to go to TKGS to get our $150. What a great way to start the new year! *grins* :)

Xoxo.

Ring out the old, ring in the new

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 125th post.
It's 6.30am, and I'm currently at Casey's place now. Heehee.
Marisa's doing choreo and Casey's singing, so I shall just do a mini update here :P
NYE Dance was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS just now, and so was the DECO! :D
I HEART the DECO loads! :D
Fast dance was insane/crazy/nuts because I danced like some crazy lady. And I actually miss Salted Pig like mad. Haha. Slow dance was fun on a whole. Well, the 1st one was relatively silent, but I'll forgive him since it's his 1st dance. The other 2 were really fun :D

More details tmr, I'm really really tired now :P

I'm plunging into 2009.

Xoxo.
