Ah, hello earthlings!
Well, its almost a month since I've blogged! No worries, I didnt neglect it! :/ Just that I was really busy this whole month!
Been super busy w econs project & psy project. And finally I can shout out yay, its overrrrrr! Hehe. Econs proj was definitely an eye-opener to me, learning about property commercial value and stuff like that, pretty cool I would say. :)
And then after a whole lots of projects, slept at 4am just to rush out the project, I hope it pays off. And here come finals. Left w last 2 paper nxt week, math & stats. Well, I just gotta do well. haha. THen its hols yay! And the end of the first sem. Year 1, Sem 1.! Pretty fast, isnt it? :O
Nevertheless, in between this busy month, I managed t catch movies (Puss in boots, Happy feet 2) w my friends and had a nice gather at minds cafe w them! It deinfitely cheered my busy month up! :D
So, Im quite relax now, and thus free-er to post. Today marks a special day! I got my driving license! First time! Yayyyyyyyyy! But I expected lesser for my demerit points though, but its alright, at least I passed!
I was in a panic disorder the whole night and I couldnt sleep well! Worse, I had nightmares that I strike the curb and that's it. Poof. Thankfully, all went well today.
It rained though, quite heavily, but I guess God helped me quite a lot too (: Thank God for the leneicy shown in the tester. (: I did quite okay for the circuit, so I guess tester was quite confident in me (: Minor mistakes here and there though (more of the first time i made it, cos i dont usually do it D: ). So heavy rain and visibility poor.
At least its hilarious when otw back, tester says "I can see that you're good driver, got the skills in driving, just lack confidence" I totally laugh out loud. hahahahaa. other than that, all's fine! Glad everything's overrrrrr! Its a good year this year! Definitely one of the happier moments that made 2011 wonderful! If I were to list the top 5 things that made my life happer in 2011, this would defnitely be one of it! (:
Till now, after the exams on the 16th, its just partying all e way w my friends for countdown & christmas! A lil weird t study during the month of dec, where its a season to be jolly! And then im only left w 2 weeks of fun before its goodbye to 2011, so not used t it.!
And I mgiht be working... omg... how t party w my friends like that. Sigh. Time planning. Guess I'll stop here for now.
With love,
grace :)

F.r.i.e.n.d.s
Hello everyone!
Finally the week has passed, sadly, in a blink of an eye. This month is filled with projects and presentations. On top of that capped with a little of quizzes here and there. And in a few weeks time, I'll end my first sem fall'11! that's pretty fast isnt? It's definitely amazing how sch has passed for almost 11 weeks! Say "wow!" haha.
And admist the busy week, I managed to catch a movie, "You're the apple of my eye." by Jiu ba dao. I'm happy that he has finally gained more recognition. I first came across his books when I was in secondary school and found it funny that theres a guy name like this! So cuteeee! haha.
And I think those who are so into chinese will know him, thats why i was glad that he has gained more recognition! ;D
As I saw the show, it reminded me of my own sec & JC times. Everything just came into my mind, all the flashbacks. Those were really the days... Even as I'm typing this now, I'm listening to the movie's theme song, Na xie nian by Hu Xia. THe melody composed was super nice! And of course the lyrics by jiu ba dao himself was absolutely wonderful. Here's a verse of his lyrics.
那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情
好想擁抱妳
擁抱錯過的勇氣
曾經想征服全世界
到最後回首才發現
這世界滴滴點點全部都是妳
那些年錯過的大雨
那些年錯過的愛情
好想告訴妳
告訴妳我沒有忘記
那天晚上滿天星星
平行時空下的約定
再一次相遇我會緊緊抱著妳
緊緊抱著妳 ♥
Meaningful isnt? It's more of the "Na xie nian" that made me feel nostalgic actually. Well that said, I was glad that I managed to squeeze in time for some catch-up! With my secondary school friends, especially. It's been almost a year since I last saw them. As I've mentioned before,
Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them, but you know they're always there. I just hope one day, on the streets, we will not end up as strangers, we will not end up as hi-bye friends.
"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of eachother everywhere. " - Tim Mcgraw
So, I was still kinda glad that we are keeping in touch. They filled up my phase of secondary school life and Im glad they were there for me in my ups and downs. We were still as childish as ever, but who cares? Haha. We played all the way until at night and parted. And I'm glad that there will still be more meet-usps. Th attendance rate was well, almost half the class came :')
And also as well as yanshin & chingyee.
As for my JC clique, ofc we are still in touch, like always! ;D
So Im really glad that I've good friends who are always there for me, now and forever. They helped me here and there, bits and pieces.
And as I enter uni, I'm glad that my OG mates were there for me too! ;D They keep me going in those days, when we joke about others, made fun of others, share our workload and cheer each other up. Im so glad that I've the bestest OG whereever I go! ;)
Also, I wanna thank Shaun&Gary especially for helping me in Math. I was so dejected in not doing well in that subj, and they really taught me from the basics, amidst their own uni work too! Im glad I met them during my intern in NHPS. :)
And so, friends are important in our lives, apart from family. I hope all my friends will stay and keep in contact with me too! ;D I remember seeing a quote somewhere "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
I've yet to catch up with friends whom I went Medan with, F2 people, LEP@Tw people and yunnan people. And not forgetting the people I've made in Keppel. It's hard, I know. As we grow up, our circle of friends gets wider, our workload gets heavier, it's not and never easy to sustain that friendship. Friendship at times can be vulnerable, and Im trying hard to hold each and every friendship I've forged with my friends. I dont wanna lose each and every friend I know, cos its saddening when one day, we walk past each other, we will only act like strangers and walk past each other unknowingly. And that just..sucks..
So, for now, I thank you, all my friends, no matter if you were my friend once, or whom I've lost contact, I thank you for allowing me to know each and everyone of you, to know that youv'e once come into my life, to make it colorful & memorable.
With love,
grace :)

Hello all,
Today's the start of A lvl 2011. A year ago, I was counting down to this month, to the day which I was awaiting, yet dreadful & fearful of. I was awaiting for the long deserved break, yet I was fearful of As.
As you all know, I have chosen the path which is very different from others. Knowing my subj combi, Im sure, many of you would give me the "are you sure" look. Even when I'm in uni, as friends asked what combi I took...When I tell them, H2 chi lit & CSC, they would asked again if chinese studies was in chinese or english. THen, their expression would be shocked knowing I did Independent studies (thesis), all in all, in CHinese.
Well, it was a memorable experience. At least, Ive chose a path where not many would be willing, and would dare to take. I gave myself a chance, to challenge myself, to push myself out of my limit and comfort zone. No doubt, I was fearful, of the competition, because our competitors were small in quantity, and yet high in quality. It was a tough fight, a tough race. Before I could even understand the chapters, they had already went through it once in their sec sch. It was a really tough fight, that I was exhausted from the race. At times, I would really asked myself, if I;ve chosen the correct path. What if I've decided not to choose this path. 2 years on, I cannot give myself a confirmation answer yet. Did I regret or not? I don't know. Really.
However, reminicising that 2 years, it was realy enjoyable. I made many friends. Close ones even. It bonded us really close together. ALl the camps and bonding, I really love the sch. Academic wise, I'm not sure, but at least, for outside personal life, I would say, a definite yes, i did not regret at all. It gave me pleasant memories. Apart from that I was lucky to go on 4 overseas trip sponsonred by my dad, the rest was just as lovely. The memories are still etched vividly in my mind. The jokes laughters warmth we shared during those days.. :')
Now, its almost 2 years. At times, I dont knw where my life would bring me. Alright, getting a lil emo here. Dont wana say what happen between my parents and I. But at laest for now, I just wanna continue to pursue what I want. its just another month to the end of 2011. Frankly, 2011 passed by too quickily. As they always say, the fun will always end quickily, its true. From Jan to June 2011, I played to the fullest of my life. I slacked till I couldnt slack anymore. It was a time for me to recharge. Now that I've recharge, its time for me to set my motivation again. Jiayou.
ANd of course to the purpose of this post, jiayou and all the best to those taking As. You know who you are. :) I sincrerely wish you all the best. I know it was a tough fight, but at the same time, I know you have put in your best and gave it your all. Im sure God will bless you with good results :)
With love,
grace :)

Oh wells, since its a long whole weekend to enjoy, shall put some time to recap what i've been doing yea?
Hmm, ever since As ended, I got myself a part time job. In about Dec 2010, I got to work at Keppel as an admin assist, recommended by my uncle. hehe. Well, it was fun, but I dislike that fact that people just give you the stares when they realised that you've got a big shot covering for you, like you know the feeling of "wah, your so and so so big shot?!" and then try to be good to you.... it just... sucks.
Apart from that, I worked and learnt a lot! Had very very nice colleagues in Gul yard, it was sucha lovely atmosphere with them around. They taught me a lot, joked and laughed with me that I missed them so much when I left. That period was one of the happiest moment in my working life. They made it so memorable! <3 It's hard to describe in words, but I'll never forget them teaching me so much about working life and personal life. Below are some of the pics with them! :) It was more of a racial harmony kinda thing! hahaha! Didnt put my boss pic up though! hehe.
In about feb to march, I went for an intern at nanhua pri. 6 weeks, and I learnt a lot being about a teacher. I kinda miss the staff resource room w the rest of the teachers there. We joked and laughed and it was weird that I was a... teacher... haha. As in, the first day I stepped into the school, and kids just bow down and greet you. At that moment. it was an omg. haha. Usually its the other way round, now having them to bow at me, just feels weird. haha. The 5 of us below!
After that, I went back to keppel again! hehe. Altho I went back this time round, everything changed a lot. I was basically moving around from one place to another, in a nice way, I was trying out new things at various dept. It was a nice experience as I got to know how different dept functions and got to see more about how the people work there. Talking about work efficiency, gossips, there you have it. In just a few months, till about august, I've seen how people work, how people gossip, how hardworking and how lazy people are. It was an eye-opener for me.
So bascially that just sums up my life in between after As and before uni starts. It was a memorable working experience in Keppel. Almost 7-8 mths? I've spent my days there in keppel. But I dont regret. If there's a chance to go back there again, why not? Though the environment has changed a lot, we still have to adapt. Since everything is always changing, nothing is constant. We just have to accept that isnt it?
Oh, did I mention I managed to have a nice overseas trip with my family to Taiwan too? Guess I shall talk about it next time then! Till then!
Love,
grace :)

Hello world! :))
I know it's a little surprising to see me here. My last post was probably around late Nov last year? I opened it almost after a year today! Haha.
Well, a lot has happened over these few months. It felt as though it was a dream. The time I closed my blog was almost the start of As, and the time I re-opened it now, was when I've stepped into the uni world.
Yes, in a blink of an eye, a lot has happened. Good and bad, I've been through it all. What happen during the past 8 or 9 months was definitely surreal to me. I've gained a lot of exposures and I will tell you slowly when I summarize my 2011. :)
For now, I'll be back to posting soon! Hopefully regularly!
I'm gonna bury my head into the books now currently. Sigh, busier than ever! u_u.
Nevertheless, just wanna wish all my good friends (you know who you are) all the best for their As! :))
Love,
grace :)
