Happy New Year to All!!! =D

Have been mia-ing for quite some time ever since the update on christmas..was busy with NP stuff for 4 days straight..had an instructors/officer meeting on last sunday at suntec mac..then monday went back to cchm for sai gang at 9am..totally SAI GANG sia..wahaha how long have it been ever since i've done such things?? dealt with the firewood and campfire stuff, wanted to data-rize the cupboard but simply have no time..went 'grocery' shopping with boss to get milo and so some popular bookstore shopping..went back to sch and did more saigang =x..started a unit meeting at 8 till 1.30am >.< haha went to 'play fire' (acty is to try out the campfire stuff la) and bathed..haha poor hk kenna ps-ed coz he was the only guy..=P went to slp at ard 4.30 but i practically stayed awake all the while, just couldnt fall aslp sia..'woke up' at 6.30, totally zombified coz din slp at all and went wash-up..haha all 4 of us were cranky (OH Cranky is the new common word that Inst/Officer will always use from now on XD) ok la nt exactly all four, bt at least i was and i think boss was too..

the CLs got it bad from us coz they were extremely late and did lots of nonsense la..went to settle more sai gang after the cadets resume the normal activity..

had quite a bit of problem with the campfire but it turns out to be WONDERFUL!! mmm was very rush towards the end of the preparation coz parents started turning up and we werent really quite done with the campfire yet..almost everyone got very cranky..thousand apologies to my fellow colleagues and boss!!!!!!! so so so sorry for all the frustrations if they somehow bother you...haha esp to hewei coz i think as a new CI and first time handling such a big event, he must be very stress le then i got cranky at him somemore..pspspsps..>.< cleared up the campfire stuff and left sch at 11+..ty ms k for giving us a ride!! =D reached home tt time close to 12 le, took a shower and immediately conked out the moment i came into contact with my bed..

went back to cchm again today for the clearing up of campfire and tied rope obs with the CLs..the stupid bus 12 came like super late and i waited for close to 30mins..told jiamin i'll be late and she fwded the cranky msg frm boss >.< chionged cab into cchm to spare myself from the black face and scoldings..haha apparently jiamin chionged cab too and zy almost got knocked down by a car in the midst of running to school..everyone looked so so so freaked out when they enter the sch..haha machiam you did sth wrong and you're gonna get spanked by ur parents..heng the black face period was rather short and boss wasnt cranky anymore after the clearing up of campfire..haha heng teresa mam was ard if not the atmosphere will be very weird sia..tied 3 rope obs just now with only 10cadets and 6 CIs/HO(s) all the way till close to 6..my hands and palms are officially CUI...in a freaking pathetic state right now pls..red and swollen palms with cui fingernails due to the kerosene and the kerosene 'ate' into the flesh la..so the nails and flesh portion all very pain..haha said before le..with this pair of hands ahh i really dun nid to get married le if i live in the past..

very xin ku in the past few days coz kept barfing and had cramps plus all the headaches & dizzy spells..skipped almost every meal, even if got eat oso eat a bit nia, coz everytime after i eat le will puke and everything wil just come out..>.< but i was very happy..simple happiness =) hehex dun wanna say it so plainly but yea just plain happiness..though i din get to slp on the 2nd night but i'm still happy =D

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Its a season of sharing and love so lets all put away our grudges and sincerely wish one another a blessed christmas yea?

celebrated christmas this year at jerene's house with some friends and her family..had bbq on the eve of christmas and it was a very successful one indeed!! (of coz lahx..got me ard how can it be tt bad rite?? =D )

reached jer's hse at ard 3pm, bought sweets for her cousins and some bacon + mushroom to jia1 liao4 for the bbq..chatted for quite some time while waiting for jiamin to come then we decided to go down and help her father with the preparation..bt apparently her father had done all the marination liaox..so we helped to set up the porch for bbq lo..i prepared the special bacon dish tt i'd gopped from kay howe, with jer's help...

jiamin and lisilong with frens came at ard 6 plus..aww jiamin was so sweet to prepare a gift for me..so sry my dear, fgt to prepare =( LSL bought white and red wine too..oh his frens are very friendly - steve and ben..nice knowing them too! =) LSL was been thrown a big task of setting up the fire at the super small pit (less than an A4 size) considering that he'd not set up fire before..well of coz the bbq pro - JASMINE will take up the task of setting up fire for the big pit..haha LSL took ard the same time as me to set up a pathetically weak fire..=P and of coz setting up fire is a small piece of cake for jasmine XD

started bbq before the pre-stated 7.30 coz jiamin leaving for another party..so started bbq-ing and muahahahahahaha the legendary CHILLI SOTONG RE-APPEARED!!! wahaha apparently a lot of ppl, inclusive of jer's relatives, missed my special chilli sotong and it was a super hot demand on that day..the bacon thing was very nice too!! =D CALL JASMINE THE PRO~~~

drank some white and red wine while bbq-ing..haha totally no kick at all..and i dun really like the taste and texture of tt red wine..quite rough..had 2 cups and din feel any effect at all but tt lousy LSL felt tipsy =P lishi and grace came too! =) i offically stopped bbq-ing at ard 9 plus..haha and started a series of super exciting games with the friends!!

initially was a pure round of truth and dare..so can imagine the girls will choose truth and the guys were been forced to choose dare =P..so lishi had to place 2 pieces of tissue paper between her specs and her eyes, and tell everyone that she is a mummy..steve had to choose dare, so his task was to go over to the opposite house (which happened to be having a family bbq too) and shout "This is Batam!!!!" wahaha he was real loud man..we kept changing the game from time to time when it got boring so the entire session was unbeliveably HIGH man!!

grace had to go around and shake everyone's hand, saying merry christmas to them..

steve had to stand at the door, face the living-room (which has ard 10 over ppl i guess??), get their attention by clapping the hands and say in mandrin "everyone listen up!! Next year, i'll replace Jay Chou!! I'll be the new tian1 wang2!!!"

jer and LSL had to sing twinkle twinkle little stars together..jer sang the proper english version de bt that LSL totally created his own chinese version de..

the poor steve had to go over to jer's daddy in front of everyone and sa-jiao..he had to say sth like " Uncle~~~~~wo3 yao4 bao4 bao4~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" and then really give a bear-hug..wahahaha super gay...=P

LSL had to go over to jer's korkor and sajiao too!! he needed to ask "korkor!!!! wo3 ke3 ai4 ma????????" then one of his legs will have to jiao qi lai and must put his hand at his mouth there!!!haha super comical pls..

LSL oso had to ask a dance from jer's father (haha jer's father is SUPER ON MAN!!!! =D) he need to grab his hands with both hands and swing the arm..while doing that he had to sajiao and ask "uncle~~~~~wo3 ke2 yi3 he2 ni3 tiao4 zhi1 wu3 ma????" really must dance sia!! wahahaha damn funny..

the super suay LSL had another forfeit whereby he had to run up the stairs by the living room up to the 2nd floor and come down..haha sounds normal rite??? the interesting part is that while he is running up, he'll have to go 'wooooooooooooooooooooooo~~~~' and swing his arms about like a madman..then when he is coming down, he'll have to roar like a gorilla and mimic the actions too!! =D orhh-yi-orhh-yi-orhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~~~~ =P

jer had to go ard with ben to act out a short puppet show which turns out to be a super disaster!! wahaha totally leng chang pls..ben had to wear one of his socks on his right hand and hold onto a bottle of red wine..then jer had to ask her relatives if anyone wants a re-fill..ben had to add on that the wine is super fragrant with 'his smell'...wahaha the 'his smell' part is he ownself add in de larhx..

wahahaha then the last forfeit ended up with STEVE!! haha the suay-kia larhx..he had to go to the table where all the relatives were eating and get their attention..then he'll have to act cool and sing "shi sui qiang zou le wo de mai ke feng~~~~" by Wilber Pan along with actions..then he had to suddenly point to one of them and ask "shi bu shi ni!!!!" haha totally paiseh to the max loooooo...

heng i was the only surviving one with ZERO forfeits!!! wahahaha JASMINE THE PRO AGAIN!!! =D took lots of photos with everyone after that before the guys left...i'll say that all the fun and joy at the bbq is coz of the guys larhx..haha w/o the guys will be super boring i guess?? as in the typical girls' talk and stuff lidat..haha provened that guys are funny and add life to events!!!!

everyone started going home after awhile...jer and i both had our turns to bathe and waited for jiamin to come back...initially thought of playing mahjong with jer's parents de, but lack of one person so couldnt play...thought jiamin will be coming back at ard 12 plus coz aftertt no transport svrs le mahx so was watching tv will waiting lo..in the end waited till i fell aslp on the sofa coz jiamin only called to say tt she's reaching ard ard 2.30am..wah totally super tired...jiamin went to shower and i lay out the mattress, comforters and stuff..haha the camwhorer jerene started taking photos again....when jiamin is done bathing i totally jing shen le larhx coz my slping time is over le..so we updated each other on our life (err in particular, love life larh huh) and let out a lot of secrets..=X haha its ok..it'll be kept among the 3 of us, so if anyone else knows abt it, uhhh it kinda narrow down to the origin le lar..talked till 4 plus in the morning and went to bed..

i suddenly woke up at 6++ and found jiamin's head on my bed -.-lll obviously her slping posture not very good huh..can turn & toss to the extent that she's slping exactly perpendicular to the bed..pro sia..o.O haha so i was practically left with less that half of the mattress to slp with..couldnt really slp well coz my nose kept blocking...

woke up at ard 10 and jiamin was up alr..as in she was stil lazing in bed lah bt she woke up le..tt piggy jer obviously is still slping..i went to wash up and dive back into my dou3 wo1..talked with jiamin abt np stuff and jer FINALLY woke up when it was close to 12..went down to have lunch and went back up to jer's room to work on jewelleries...jiamin made a bracelet with jer's help (loads of help i mean =p) i made a pair of indian-ish earrings which i'm quite proud of =D..jer made 2 bracelets..haha jiamin and jer asked me why i always like to dress so mature-ly..haha then i told them coz i dun like to be associate with young and insensible teenagers..i believe i'm a mature and thinking young adult alr..seriously, the kind of friends you mix with is really very influencial in moulding your characteristics and thinking/mindset..i thought been with phy, ws and hy for 2 years really made me a better thinking person..haha especially the talking session with phy when the 2 of us will simply talk abt any issue and pour out our opinions instead of non-sensical talks with no content..haha thought i always appear to be luffing like mad when the 3 of them are ard, as in we're always talking abt nonsense, but there are really times whereby we'll be serious (real serious) and think of philosophies..haha for that, I PROUD OF YOU GUYS!!! *muacks*

had a light tea-break after that and went home shortly after..haha jasmine is officially fat and needs to exercise like mad...really really need to slim down le..ganbatte~~~~~~~~~~~

today is a nice weather to be dreamy and out of the reality for awhile...=)

re-watched Anastasia this afternoon when it was pouring outside...yea i know its a super old cartoon le and i'd watched it for countless times..but it was only today that i truly appreciate the movie..

how often do you get to meet someone who is just right for you and how many times do you actually realise it?

do we often say what we think and not what we feel?

how often do we stay loyal to our special someone and not feel that its a mere chore or duty?

how does it feels like to truly love someone?

how often do you feel that urge to live by the side of that special someone till life ends, walking down the path full of challenges and uncertainties?

why does the feeling in some relationships die off? it is purely because that person is not your mr/ms right or is it because there isnt really enough effort put in to keep it going?

came by this song called At The Beginning last Friday and went to listen to it with my heart...it touched me deeply...=)

At The Beginning

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you





how many beginnings do we get in life? many a times, people zoom pass their life without looking back, and they only start to regret towards the end of their lives, when they could have started a new life at different points of their life, only if they bother to look back...
