this week has been eventful. (i'm getting results back tmr_
monday. hari raya holiday, so nicole and aunt angie* organised this little get together for a few of us and thadd's family.
*when e xers and thadd's family saw each other a lot more during that period of time, the family was known as thadd's daddy, thadd's mummy and thomas. but nicole said, after 4mths, she's now known as aunt angie. the way nicole said it was so cute :P*
we all met at school then aunt angie (aunt a) picked us up. during the course of the journey, nic was saying that she felt like shes in a sch bus.so funny. the car's a six seater,with some room for pple to sit on the floor. i was sitting right at the back and rmbed a scene when thad was still ard. clarissa tan and thomas**** were occupying one seat each at the back. thad was sitting in the middle of them.and as usual, two of them were quarrelling (abt some really redundant stuff) then after a while, it got so noisy thad covered his ears and bent down. hahahaa it was really funny.
so anyway (i feel the most boring posts are recounts but TOO BAD) when aunt a showed us this furniture that thad wanted to buy. (they bought it) a lot of thad's stuff were put there. then there was this random green turtle on one of the candles.presumably found in thad's locker. aunt a said when mr t opened the locker, there was only that one turtle there. hahahaha. then we went to see pics. thomas is rreallllllly cute. i was talking abt how goodlooking he'll be when he grows up ,since he alr is. i saw him looking at me when i looked at him,' i'll pretend i didnt hear that' aahhh so cute :P the pics were really cool. tasmania. i wanna go there one day =p ***so anw then thomas showed us A LOT of magics tricks. i'm very impressed. then we went to visit thaddeus. its a very peaceful place down there.i'm referring to the room btw. then we had lunch at pepper express (i think that's its name) then...i went to east coast to cycle w churchpple.
***OHYES. aunt a also showed us two videos made for thad. OHMYGOODNESSGRACIOUSMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. i've totally seen thaddeus before! i recognised one of the photos. it was taken during one of the AIMS competition. thad is from serangoon gardens, one of the 4 participating clubs. eeeeeeeeeeeeeee i was super distracted when i saw that pic that i couldnt conc on the next few. i dont know how to describe how i felt. can you imagine, you visit a friend's place after he has passed away, watch a video and recognise a photo. take note, i did not notice that picture from some random photo i saw in a magazine or whatever, i recognised that 'picture'. i recognised seeing that 'scene', the 12 big guys squeezing on the podium(some give up trying to get up and stand on the floor) receiving their team relay prizes. it was... whoa =/ i dont know what to say !
****maverick is another really cute one :)
tuesday, ran out of school halfway, skipped lecture TO CHECK MY EMAIL. that's indespicable! =p heck. (i'm a good girl, skipping lessons is a big NO NO to me)
sat, mws flag day. as always, flag days are very memorable experiences :) maybe cos you meet a lot of pple in a period of time. people are very interesting creatures.
sunday, ran great eastern run this morn 10k. i was running with mummy. oh my it's a really cool race. before the event, the top runners , from kenya!!!!!!! and dont know where else, were introduced to the whole crowd and asked to step up on some stage thing. it was really cool. cos you see the runners, step up, smile a little, wave a little then go back down. it's like, they deserve such attention but they're humble people. plus they're nervous abt the race.or at least i think they are.i always am before races. it's really cool how I FELT i could connect w them, though i'm nowhere as fast. 33min!!! crazy. then i saw a lot of pple and clarisse. clarisse got 2nd for under19 man!'fun run' =.= eeee shes so pro :D so anw, the kenyans were so pro. when i was at the 2k mark, they were alr coming back (6k). (the route is a u-turn kinda thing) it was so ...........awesome seeing them fly. ah, glorious sight. the first two pple were a kenyan and australian ( ithink). then the 3rd kenyan. it's really hard for the 3rd runner i think, you're like top but not and are running alone.sucks.
after the run, mummmy and i went ard getting drinks, bananas, cereals, tshirts, icecream (no more :( ), pink flowers, pink balloons. such a pretty sight. all girls ard. mummy's really so aunty i tell you. it was really funny though.seeing her aunty instincts. then after satisfying her aunty instincts, we rushed to the front to watch prize presentation. oh my, the champ looked so happy. smiling, waving her hands ard. and top 3 gets a plaque from tiff&co. 0.o glitters. hahaha ;p the winners were really...glamarous. it's like, wow, they can do ANYTHING they want. scream, jump on the podium...anything! you're the winner you can DO ANYTHING YOU WANT. you're given all credibility. (obviously w/o being so arrogant. but xers are not arrogant... ... just like liverpoolies)
i was so in awe. then, my realistic inspiration came.2nd placing. my classmate clarisse yong. ohyea before e run i mentioned to mummy that she's janell's role model. mummy's response, "wow". and i was thinking, ohyea man..wow. can you imagine having a sec2 girl looking up to you as a role model? it's not a 'for fun' thing here. when janell talks abt her, wow. even if i dont know her, i'd be quite impressed with this senior that my sister talks abt occasionally.
so combining the effects of a suspended runner watching top runners step up the platform to humbly greet the crowd, to running pass her, to collecting their prizes with a big satisfied grin...suspended runner is even more so fired. i've decided, i'll go back to competitive running starting nov.
thanks for the ...i dont know, fuel ?

Why start something you have no intention of finishing?
if you're one of the people at natalie's house, you'll probably know i got that quote frm the book i'm reading now, True Believer(which seems like a christian book to them). or maybe not. those people are too ***** XP. putting relationships on the strain just because of an insignificant third party. PLEASE! ... ;D
but i think it's quite true . TB meant it in the relational way fyi; in that, why get so close to each other when you know that it wont last because you're leaving town?kinda sad. thinking further, i thought abt my crosscountry career.(we had cca leader conference so i was labelled crossrunner .:.recounts of cross exp came back)
ah, it's sad.
so anyway, it's maverick's bday today. HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY MAVIE ;) let me tell you all about this little boy maverick here. maverick leong. wei peng...right? ha ha i dont know lah but the way you say your chinese name is so cute. on to that c word, maverick is now 14yrs old standing, tall and skinny and like a big boy. okay not big boy, but a less small boy. is it irritating for a boy at 14yrs to have 17yr old girls calling you cute? cos that was the first thing i said to him when i saw him today. oh my, like totally. him in his too small shorts, and yellow shirt. maverick looks so cute in his sch u. :P but all cutes and stuff, hes a very understanding boy. matured when need be, saw it so during... publicity for youth sunday this yr. one responsible boy. yet, he can brighten up the lives of people's around him just with the toothy grin of his. his actions to 'With Christ in the vessel we can Smile at the storm' song. awwwww :) and i rmb him em-ceeing with TiffanyAng for finale night last yr. two of them are so cute. my "twin". well, it's been close to two yrs since i met this adorable boy here.and i sang him the birthday song 14 times :) not very eventful lah. i shld have, like, called him at 11.59am and sing the song in 1 min or sth. but it's too late :P okay excuses. whatever heh. i feel blessed knowing maverick :) happy 14th again!
under circumstances, i was counting how many months has it been since thadd left. mentally, i was going "july..august..sept.. oct" .... ," about 3 1/2 mths". and somehow when i was counting, my heart sank, sank real deep. like when you're on the top of a rollar coaster and it falls down to the pits, your heart feels like it's in vacuum or smth.that 'weightlessness' feeling. yeah, that feeling. it s incomprehendable. it was somewhat, scary. lost. you know, suddenly the qns like what am i doing on earth? why is life so fragile? why did he have to go at 17? came. esp since earlier, i saw this lady running all over the streets, presumably looking for a child of hers that has gone missing. aiyah, the accummulation of feelings derived from the two situations stated earlier is a...fearful feeling.

so it comes down to this huh. promos ended 3 days ago...ended today for others. so what's up next in the calender one asks? well here it is for me:
1) planning of youth camp! 18-22nd dec. (if you're interested tell me)
2) CHINESE A LEVELS ON THE 29th oct i heard
2a)coach said we MIGHT (might only :( ) be resuming trg after chi!
3) pw
4) CLEAN MY ROOM
--> i've a confession to make. last yr, there was a surprise bday held for yuliang bev and myself. a lot of church people turned up and i received many many gifts :) as it was during my pre o levels period, i read all the cards, opened all the gifts, smiled, thought abt how much effort was put into it and put it into a bag. i said i'll unpack everything after o's. well, a yr and 2days have passed and the bag is still at that corner.
5) REPLY ALL BDAY MSGES. yup.. i've not replied everyone who sent me birthday msg yet :( and i see some along the streets of rjc and amc...and i tell them :" sry i'm intending to reply all tonight" or smth. well....yeah i've not done it. sry.
6) catch up on my sleeep!!!!
7) visit thad's family :) this i cant wait.
so what was life like before promos?
1) study
2) be the least concerned abt youth camp and what shawn's sharing abt it
3) ...maybe other stuff which have slipped off my mind
but the thing is, i feel more ...busy than before promos. okay maybe more... splitted up. in the sense that. my mind is occupied with more things.and it aint nice. okay of e 6 stuff i mentioned above...those are obligations and im fine with it. i can live with them, i dont mind them. but much as i value faithfulness a lot, i find that i dont really like responsibilities.because it comes along with accountability, time, effort and commitment. ah, a big word.commitment. the thing that comes to my mind when ppl talk abt commitment is marriage. and hey, the idea of marriage appeals to me. yet, i really dont like being tied down by something (or things in this case) i prefer to be freelance -ing ard with nothing whatsoever to care abt. you know, like a wild horse in the vast greenery.
