A few shades redder and tanner

Thanks guys for the Valentine's gift :D Photo so cute.

12/02/10, RJ went to Palawan Beach Sentosa for Take 5. It was awesome fun attempting to kick the soccer ball and playing captain's ball with the class even though we got owned by the teachers. Sad that I missed MT '07s sandcastle building though, 'cos a certain someone didn't tell me they called while I was miserably embarrasing myself with soccer AND they didn't call back D:

I think whatever reputation I have in RJ ish gone after soccer and Rodeo Bull. Forgot to tie my hair so I probably looked like some crazy woman. & I think my paint job on Elizabeth's nails were HORRIBLE :/ I'm SORRY ELIII. Will practice more Heh heh. Tonight's my mom's turn (((:


But it doesn't really feel like Chinese New Year in RJ. No Chinese New Year songs, no decorations, no sea of red, no traditional chinese costumes, just games and more games, sun and more sun. Feels weird and I miss SCGS and DLSS for the festivity spirit.


Lepak-ed at Vivocity level 3 after Take 5 with MT '07 & got called a pedo after playing with this cuuuuute boy and his sister. Lousy OG-lings hmph.




The sun has been crazy the past few days and I'm
sun burnt. BURNT. And its' quite bad, until it actually hurts D: Oh wells. Been getting scolded by my parents over my disgusting red face. Not like I could help it == Can hardly sit under some beach umbrella the whole time at sentosa can I. So this year's CNY will see my hardly-seen relatives thinking/saying that:
  1. This girl ah, put on so much weight. Her face so round now. Then they'll tell their daughters: "SEE this is what happens when you eat so much. Better don't be liddat."
  2. Telling me: "What happen to your face ! SO RED."
  3. Telling me: "Wah how come so tan now ah" zz. So I'll be 黑黑胖胖 instead of 白白胖胖. How comforting.
  4. "How's school & studying? A- levels?" EVEN WORSE, I've got to see my bitchy, nose in the air, skinny shit, sarcastic distant aunt who will ask about school in the most 'I'm better than you' way and talk about her children. zz. Hah. Don't think I don't know that she wears the same qipao every year.

German's the first module in a long long time that I've taken that requires hardcore mugging. I think I forgot how to memorize and hardcore mug. Godbless my headache.  Peace.

I just realised the reality of informing parents that I, their dear daughter, has failed Chem twice in a row. 43%. And that isn't a pretty picture. Its a son-of-a-bitch of a reality. It's always at this point of time wherein I panic, and regret not studying harder, though I can't quite change anything already. That panic should probably kick in 1 month before the exams where I actually can do something. Pity my reaction system is a tad delayed. And I don't seem to have conditioned to the idea of: Panic way before exam > Study > Do relatively ok > Happily ever after. It's probably also not good that I don't think critically enough. Observing and thinking should be natural. Just not coming to me. So there was a talk on how to write personal statements. So people get coached on how to write personal statements. Any random person's personal statement can be transformed from a bland boring one into a pretty, inspiring, lovely, memorable, unique one with ...

Really?

It's been almost 5 months since the trip to Cambodia, but, it doesn't nearly feel as long as that. It's probably cheesy to say that it's changed me for life, but I think that it has. Everytime I receive an email related to the orphange in Cambodia, I tend to reminisce about the whole experience there. It's almost awesomely weird that I can get so attached to people I've talked to, spent time with for only a few days. I guess, there's a sense of genuiness in what they say. No lies, no cover-ups. Getting through the initial awkwardness of shyness, of inhibition, makes it all the more fulfilling maybe. That Vimol and Sok Heng treated me as a friend, talked to me as friend to friend despite being strangers at the start of the day and despite the relative language barriers warms my heart. That Titu and Narin help out in every way that they can with all the smiles and laughter, makes me feel like I should be cheerful and happy 24/7. But I guess, realising that...
