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! (:

Wherever you go, whatever you do

Oh my word.
It's the end of January!
And I feel as if I haven't started much of school...

I'm racing with time and I can hardly breathe.
And today haven't been the most pleasant day - I'm pretty certain KO's gonna butcher me if my current horrendous bio grades persist. Looks like it's memory bio time in feb. ): And my integration techniques are pukeworthy. Oh joy. ):

On the brighter side,
I've 200+ days to save myself from the terrible fate of not being able to get into NUS/BYU,
And tomorrow's february so it marks a new beginning of the month,
CNY's coming (which also means turning-fat time),
And truckloads of some of the awesomest people's birthday everyday this week from tomorrow till sunday wooh! (: (If marisa sees this her ego will inflate such that it'll be larger than the universe. Maybe even larger than Simon's! Haha okay nevermind both of them can fight over whose ego's bigger since their birthdays are only a day apart from each other. :P)

Accompanied Xueci to Esplanade Library today to find her band scores. And she wants to go clubbing when she turns 18. Don't ever judge a book by its cover. LOL. Anyway, I'm glad she managed to find some stuff in the end. (:

Okay, back to my ionic equilibria. ):
Goodbye Jan, you weren't that awesome.
May Feb be more awesome than ever.
(PS: Rox and Rob and Sid's in town. Imma happy girl. Can't wait to see em' on Wed. Not forgetting my awesome KM and CX and the rest too! :D)

Xoxo.

It's too strong a word to say to early, but too beautiful a word to say to late

'I always fear that one day you will discover that I'm not as great as you once thought I was.'

So true, so true.

As I'm lying on my bed typing this, listening to the radio and taking a breather, I realised it's been so hectic in school - lectures, tutorials and practicals are taking the bulk of time of my life. If I was spending a chunk of time in school last year, this year I'm almost tempted to just camp in there. I hardly have the time to think about anything and anyone else the past few weeks, so yeah. But anyway, I'm really really excited for CNY. Sid and the family's coming to town! (: Two weeks woohhh! (:

On the other hand, yes I survived the crazy 6-hours-without-a-break day. Kudos to me. (:

Goodnight people,
Feeling awesome that school's starting at 8.55am tomorrow. (:

Xoxo.

But you never give

Term One, Week Three.
Pretty much settled down in school, with lectures and tutorials going on at a speed pretty close to full blast and three tests. (With bio and chem being on the same day which led to some brain degeneration by 3pm on tuesday afternoon. At least Miss Fernandez was kind enough to postpone our GP essay test from tuesday to thursday, or I'd suppose we'd be rendered braindead.)

I'm not saying that I'm enjoying every moment of school, but it certainly seems a little more bearable right now (possibly because crappy week two & three of the year is finally over where the stupidest things happen. Like last wednesday which was complete epic fail.) But it could also possibly due to the fact that CNY's coming, which naturally makes me happier in general. (:

Or how lecturers are attempting to make our lectures a little less boring. Like how the current chem lecturer 'zi high's and subtly (i suppose) entertains herself which pretty much annoyed the heck outta me, but thinking back it could have been some form of entertainment for us. Or bio, when Mr O was lecturing on genetic virus for the past few lectures and how we were laughing wildly when he said something so innocently which made us bio students 想歪. LOL.
Mr O:
(1) "... And the next parton HIV, which I've a lot of information to share with you guys..."
(2) "... And I was discussing this topic (something about HIV/STD) with Mr N..."
(3) "... Takes 9 months to conceive a baby. But anyway, you guys should be studying for the 9 months, not making a baby ah! Your baby should be your A's..."

(I think we must be really stressed to be laughing at all the above sentences. As I was typing it I realised only the 2nd and the 3rd was still amusing. LOL.)

But then again, school still feels draggy. Zee told me how HY thought it was only a few weeks ago that he took his last GP test. (Fyi, the last GP test we all had was, way before promos last year. LOL. But then again, I would really wanna whack his head haha!)

Anyway, accompanied Donna for choir audition on, had a casual chat with TT & Mrs Lee for a little while after her audition, and visited choir thereafter before institute that night. Visited Oli at her Natgeo Cafe workplace (which honestly suits her really well) before mugging with Zee till we were so tired. NYP for the allied health science immersion day camp before studying with Zee & Meena for a lil' while, followed by CNY shopping with Sab in town. Totally exhausted right now, haha!

Better get some work done right now.
Ohmyword integration and ionic equilibria. ):
I don't like. ):

I'm gonna end with this quote that someone posted as her fb status 10mins ago:
- You'd never know how strong you are until being strong is the only option you have left.

Xoxo.

Sol

It's the official first day of school and the first half of the day sucked.

FB status goes: Pissed this morning due to disturbance during sleep last night, PE at 7.30am, no time to change to uniform so attended math lecture in sweaty PE tee, 1.5 hrs of gp tutorial, freezing classroom, told to finish math revision paper meant for S/U graders, econs lecture test, heavy rain & forgot umbrella, fell in the rain, bruises, a soaking bag and files. To top it off, it's the first day of lessons. Bad day.

So you get the gist.
Bruises on knees and right palm and left hand still hurt truckloads, ):

Anyway just texted a few closer people how I was feeling depressed over the failure first day of school on the way home, showered, napped because I had absolutely no mood to get anything done, woke up, tried to dry my notes (bag's still wet even till now), doing bio essays and chatting on MSN. Talked to Sab, Sak, Kenneth, EC in the late afternoon/early evening and TT and Darren are talking to me now. I miss TT (though I saw him at open house yesterday and whacked him with a balloon heehee.) and our conversation quite hilarious, cos he's trying to convince me that he's got integrity. HAHA. I can't wait for A levels to end so that I can sing again! :D

So I guess the second half of the day got way better, thank you awesome people for encouraging and cheering me up yeah. (:

Anyway, openhouse's turnout was pretty good, I suppose. More than 2000 people (and I know because I was doing the registration at the registration table so if you didn't see me, you either didn't register or you closed your eyes while registering.) And Rach & Charm were patiently waiting for me till past 4.30pm just to go to PP for dinner with them. Haha. Poor girls, but thanks for waiting! And my phone batt died in the midst of openhouse, that's why I ended up replying most people's smses really late, (so apologetic about it!) Though I had to smile for >5 hours and say "Hi! Welcome to NYJC! May I have your name, mobile number and school please?" and "I'm sorry? I can't hear you." and "Give me a moment." and "Thank you, have fun!" which rendered me really exhausted by 5pm (such that Charm and Rach had to let me go home after dinner because I looked like I was gonna drop dead any moment), it was pretty fun! And at the end of it, Miss Ang said that I could put it in my SGC (& CIP)! Surprise surprise! Haha yay! :D (But sorry, I don't think I'd like to work in a service-related sector if I've to do this forever. Haha!)

Maybe that's the reason why I couldn't smile much today. Because I smiled too much yesterday. LOL.

And I saw a tweet from someone calling Mr K a cute principal. LOL.

Speaking of which, when Mr K was trying to emphasise to the J2s that the tables in the classrooms are new and thus, not to vandalise them, he said " If you like a girl, tell her. Don't write it on the table, she can't see it. If you like a boy, tell him. Don't write it on the table, he can't see it. If you hate someone, don't write it on the table, tell him/her and resolve it, if not he's/she's still living happily. If you really want to write something, write it on your scrapbook. I have one too!"
*Cues in students' peal of laughter and massive clapping*

Okay now back to my essays.
Xoxo.

Ring out the old, ring in the new

Firstly, happy 2011 to you fab people out there! (:

Well, I promised Ee Chien that I would blog for her because she just wants to know that I'm emotionally alright. (Seriously I don't see the logic, but yes I'm blogging at this uncanny hour JUST FOR YOU since I owe you so, so much right now.)

This is 9days late, but New Year Resolutions for 2011:
(Okay well, there aren't as many this year relative to last year. HAHA.)
1. Stay in touch, continue loving the people around me, and hopefully be there when they need me the most.
2. Ace the A's. (ie. to study hard this year)
3. Take up voice, piano and driving lessons (and hopefully pin down a job) when A's ends.
4. Be more lady-like. (Okay don't laugh/be shocked.)

So I guess these are the main four, I definitely have a couple others but I've decided to keep it with me for now. (:

Yesterday (Saturday) was one of those days I really feel grateful for amazing friends who swinged by my place to save me from so much. I was fuming mad, depressed and distressed when I received horrible news the past few days, but there were amazing people who never left me stranded. Thank you for arming yourselves with laptops and books and coming down to help me, staring into the laptops for 8hours straight and typing furiously. I really don't know what I would've done without you guys - KM, EC, Sak and Sab. I wouldn't have gotten most of my stuff done, that's for sure. This time I really owe you guys a massive favour EACH. And thank you to Bren, Charm and Chun Ling who were helped me too! I'm truly grateful. (':

(Though I know EC's wish is for a particular someone to be with me so that she can (possibly but I don't want her to) leave for Boston in peace and take psychology come past midyears. Not forgeting her treat as well, haha.)

I also had an awesome dinner at 313's Marche with Auntie Julie, Marisa, Gayle, Marie, Sam, Xiao Qing and Tania. Just feeling guilty that dinner's on Auntie Julie, but I'm so glad to be meeting up with some of these people after a good half a decade, at the very least.

Today marks the final day of holidays, and I spent the final two weeks balancing between both my studies and social life. Sleepover at Sis Serene's, heart-to-heart talks & shopping for CNY clothes with Yi Qian and Yi Ying, hthtalks and dinner with Oli & Gabz, Sakae date with Yi Ting, Val and Sahana, my final NYE dance as a youth, (I have to pen down how I had trouble dancing with a 1.96m boy, HAHA. And my last slow dance as a youth before 12midnight was with my own brother, lol.) NY day party at Casey's, Pre NYE dinner with the extended family, mugging dates with Mare, Fee and Deb, scrapbooking with the AMK girls and possibly some other stuff that I can't remember.

The past 6 weeks have been the busiest time of my life, but I really treasured every moment meeting everyone - be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, hthtalks, shopping, collecting notes, watched carolling, partying, sleepovers, mugging and what not. Thank you for everything.

Anyway XT's talking to me on MSN now and he's telling me how he's practicing magic right now (at 1.42am) so that he can perform it later. HAHA.

Okay I should be sleeping rather soon, thank goodness church's finally in the afternoon for the year! :D

Good morning people, and sweet dreams (:
Xoxo.
