Okay so I really did sleep from 730 to uh about now. Hahahah I woke up to switch off my computer and now I'm going through FB profiles wtfffffffffffff. Notttt healthy. And my throat's dryness is KILLING me while my nose still refuses to unblock itself ugh. Okay fine I shall do a New Year post now.
So for 2009 uhhh it was not so great. Well for me la and I know that most of the not so great stuff I created myself by thinking too much etc. But anyway getting through 2009 was tough because of the new batch of students and no matter how much I like being socially active and making new friends, I learnt that it's not always a good thing.... OK I can't type this down I dunno how. So I'm going to do the 10 things I'm thankful for/affected my life in 2009
1) Quitting SYF + Doing Cheer
Hahaha omg this was sooooooo big seriously. Especially when during the whole of Nov/Dec 2008 I could not decide between the 2 and was ready to just stretch myself and balance both if I had no choice. Which I thought I didn't thanks to a certain bitch Ms Wee but that's besides the point. Anyway, making that decision was tough, but I knew I had to stick to the responsibility I had and I took up as Cheer Captain so yup. Got to know many new people during Cheer and I reallly enjoyed the practices and stuff however stressful, but on SYF day when I went to see the SYF people get ready and then follow them to NUS.... Haha in the dance studio I almost cried cuz I felt so left out of it. And the SYF item is pretttttty kick ass and I wished I was part of it. Yup. Ohwell I don't regret my decision, because I know what I had to do and I wouldn't have it any other way.
And, leading a cheerleading team was tough, like reallllllly tough and I think I grew as a leader in that time cuz I realised many things I was doing wrong and stuff. So yup, that's verrrrry good.
2) Joining the 17th HC
Okay I'm not gonna say much cuz it's pretty self explanatory. But I haven't done much with the 17th HC yet since I've been away for alot of stuff, but we'll see how next year! And leaving the 16th was so freaking tough. During HC Camp a part of me wanted to die inside and Limeng talked to me thanks Meng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) Joining OCIP
OMG THIS ONE FUCKED UP. The only good thing that came out of it (no I didn't learn more about myself or like learn to be more compassionate or whatever), was making good friends with Yiguan and Gracie, and getting closer to Meng. And for that I am constantly reminding myself not to regret joining OCIP. Even if it is fucked up and BOTH trips got cancelled and apparently some teacher decides to exclude all that did not sign up for Balai from OCIP (which is me and Limeng) and also now it's not gonna be included in portfolio like thanks I wasted one whole year on preparing for some stupid trip that didn't even happen and you're not even going to recognise it thanks. I sound so bitter and like selfish because OCIP affected SO MANY THINGS ok and it doesn't feel worth it? I honestly joined it to hopefully make myself like, a better person through the trip and stuff, and also a small bit cuz of portfolio, but like I couldn't. Aiyah it's too many things already but thank you to Yiguan, Gracie and Limeng for making everything a little bit more bearable (:
4) AYG
)))))))))))))))))))))): I'm so sad the experience is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really really reallllly loved every single moment of it. Even the mad rush to meet deadlines because as usual I left everything to the last minute. It gave me a reason to write, and apparently I could write articles on SPORTS (haha) not bad, and it also let me consider going into another course in Uni. Plus meeting the athletes (haha particular ones only hehe) was fun, writing the articles were fun because it made me feel like part of something SUPER BIG and to know that you were part of it is EXHILARATING. To see your name at the bottom of an article that is online is like WOAH. Love it love it love it I wanna do it all again and I really wanna be part of YOG this year but sigh.
5) Everything that came after AYG, meaning all the other stuff I got to do because Mr Loh remembered me from AYG HAHA.
Student leadership workshop at SJC was one of them and it was good for me cuz I had to write down everything about my leadership experience. Haha there's so much to talk about but you really learn through that I think. Cuz like, it makes you sit down and think about what you're doing, what can be done better, what is being done RIGHT. And the workshop exposed me to SportsXcel people which then led to....
SL Camp. Which was uh-mazing!!!! Got to know people better and stuff like that. I dunno how to say la ok next thing haha.
6) MY CLASS, WHICH IS THE BEST CLASS HAHA 04/09

I love our class and its weird mix of people, even though we are constantly discriminated in the Staffroom because we are a TA Arts class which is like very bad apparently. Even though we have a CT who moodswings like a pendulum and is crazy intense. But we are an AWESOME class!!!!!!!!!!! Like winning soooo many Swensons vouchers during Sports Carnival because not only are we an Arts class we are also (self proclaimed) Sports class HAHAHAHA. Because of our love for playing Captain's Ball during PE, and our one and only GIRLS NIGHT OUT outing. 04 girls are awesome I wanna go out again!!!!!! :D
7) TITANS.

Hahahahahahh even though I wasn't technically involved in it. I made myself involved okay! And the 2 training that I joined in made me want to EXERCISE and resulted in me doing planks everyday for uh 2 weeks haha. This was tough and enjoyable at the same time and I loved the group of people that were in it.
8) Past 7 things have all been like somewhat tangible things?? OK my 5th thing that I am THANKFUL for this year is my friends who have constantly be there for the past year and previous.
Calvin, Chenyin: Because I love you 2 so very much and you are always there for me and know me best and will always continue to handle my deranged mind and rubbish thoughts etc. And for the coming year I know I will survive because I have you :D

Calvin, we got through uh a rough patch at the very start of this year but even though we've also spent alot less time together and stuff I like the fact that we are still close and comfortable with each other (: And thank you for.... my fisheye camera haha, always treating me to Starbucks/Frolick (but no thanks to always complaining to my mother after that hor), listening to allllllllllllllll my retarded comments about anything and just plain being patient with me and humouring me about my many whims. Love you!!!! :D

Chenyin, wah sister you have been with me through damn freaking alot hahaha. And I am so thankful for you although I think you have a small part in yourself that don't really want to be friends with me hahahah because I throw EVERYTHING on you like anything and everything that I am unhappy/happy with in the world you also know. You are damn important to my sanity and conscience and without you I think I might combust and die because my emotions get the better of me haha. Thank you SOOOOOOO much really, I love you!!!!!! :D

Rachel, even though we haven't got to spend alot of time together this year ): whatever time we have spent talking and stuff like even though just on bus rides home is still good and you are still very important to me because you provide a rational voice haha :D

Sarahbarah, again, even though we have only spent minimal time this year talking and catching up, everytime we meet it's still fun and comfortable. Yay Sarahbarah for yeaaaaaaaaarrrssssss of friendship that have passed and to come :D
9) People who I got closer to this year

Vi, HELLO GF!!! (: Having you and Rachel around during dance makes it a bit more easy to handle :D I am always happy to see your pretty face around school haha and I can trust you to tell you stuff and still be retarded with you Ily!!!! (:
Joleneney, being in the same class helped when trying to uh mend our friendship haha. And I'm glad we are!!! Although we're still beginning to learn to trust each other again, mutual dislike for people has helped and, our similarities have helped alot too haha. No matter what happens, you're still very important to me even when we quarrel or whatever. To our many years of friendship!!!!!! I love you, TIGGER (hahaha omg do you remember this do you do you, in TK your name was joleneTIGGER in my phone hahaHAHAHhahahah)
Faye, actually we were always quite close right haha but anyway, this year you and Vibz have helped me with allll my History shit so much and even though you are VERY whiny and like to get yourself into all sorts of emotional tangles, thank you for always being there and willing to listen and be angry/sad/happy for me when I tell you stuff. I love you dearieeeee!!!
Troodz, Bernard, omg damn saddening that we only started talking this year when we all had to step down and stuff. But bitching with the 2 of you is always fun!! Hahaha. And troodz, you have given me alot of help with History shit as well and I am thankful for all your SEA notes haha!!! I'm very glad I got to know the both of you better this year (:
10) People I only got to know this year.

Yiguan, because if I didn't get to know you, I would die during OCIP, I would die with a lack of retardedness in my life, and I wouldn't have got to know a great (and retarded) friend (: You are superrrrr easygoing and your anger about any issue dissapates after you rant about it for like 10 minutes then you okay alr haha. And we are quite similar some more!! About our dislike for certain people hahahaha. But seriously, you are a very good friend like how you try to distract me by talking about other random topics when I am angry haha, and how you have promised my mother you will not talk to me for the whole of 2010 which has failed already. Love you very much!!!!

Gracie, again, because if I didn't get to know you I would die during OCIP!!! I feel like I can tell you all sorts of stuff and I wish we can spend more time together although that time will seriously be hampered by something called STUDYING FOR A'S but we'll deal haha. I love you Gracie because offffff your quirks and I dunno haha. You're just lovable hahhahaha :D
Vibzy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )))))): I miss you!! ))))))): I can't believe we only got to know each other like, because of Orientation and stuff and yet we've uh "clicked". You and Faye are always there for me to bitch to and you always surprise me with random acts like giving me chewing gum for my anger, msging me when you've read a particularly upset blogpost of mine, msging me when you knew I was upset after HC camp etc. Having you around has made 2009 so much better and manageable because you've always got my back by giving me ALL your notes, talking to me and helping me with assignments even though you're tired already, making me laugh with Singapore Skins (Which you were supposed to blog about so someone would discover it but you haven't!! Haha. I still have the msges in my phone OKAY!)... You are an awesome person Vibz and you're destined to do many many great things. I can't imagine not having you around this year )))): But I can't wait to see you again either!!!! Love you Vibzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyy!!!!!!
11) Ok 11 things la. Lastly and most importantly, my family.
This year I.. gained a half-sister. Blogged about it on LJ but not here because it didn't seem appropriate. But I'm okay with it now. Though I can't remember her name, and I totally forgot about her during our US trip when we saw many cute baby things and I couldn't think of a suitable baby to get it for (IRRITATING OMG THE BABY THINGS WERE SO FREAKING CUTE I WANT A BABY NOW.). Anyway, Daddy's time has always been split between here and Thailand and I'm just glad at least he always makes the effort to meet me and Meredith. Even if both of us haven't been making alot of effort either. :/
Mummy and Meredith because they also deal with my nonsense, even more so because they have to LIVE WITH ME hahahaha. Meredith, for always cooking for me at retarded times in the night, for coming up with damn freaking retarded songs and stories about certain people for certain people haha (Calvin Eng you have been a recipient for both!), forrrrr letting me "use" her when I wanna buy more things. "Why do you need another GAP jacket?" "MEREDITH DON'T HAVE, FOR MEREDITH!!!" Hahahaha.
Mummy for being my mummy!!!!!!!!!!!! Which is very important already.
OK THIS POST has been full of LOVE hahaha. But really, my life would be soooo different without the things above. I am grateful and happy for everything (: OK I AM TOO LAZY TO FIND PICTURES TO FILL THE OTHER SPOTS HAHAHAHAHA. Cuz I have pictures in C drive in D drive in external hard drive walau eh...............................
