yo, world!
the hustle and the bustle,
between me and the city,
destitute of refuge
a turn to return.
happy new year!

its been the time of the year again, the beginning, where people would say the year passed so quickly, so fast. a year, three hundred over days, 262800 minutes, and probably millions of seconds. time really passes quickly, unfortunately. there were times you wish time could just quickly pass by, and you would disappear and fade into the world. on the other hand, there were times, where we rush for projects, we want time to stop, just so because we can finish everything, catch up on our studying and things like that. BUT time moves on no matter what.
"24 little hours" quoted from a song of Jamie Cullum, mentions about time being little and small, and it does not move along as you wish and explaining what a difference a day had made. mainly about love
this year had been one of ups and downs. SOMETHING in the beginning in the year, those stupid auditions or whatever it was. i felt it was so crazy, all those backstabbing and stuff, and somemore just before my birthday, how horrible i felt. being rejected by my own team. it was such a
terrible experience. i admit i was EMO, i was sad, i was upset. just before my fourteenth birthday to be spent like hell, i think it was crazy. aiyah stupid politics, and the quitting and stuff. i think it was appropriate la. i didnt want to spend my time with a group of people, or particularly just one person who sees me as useless, thinking he is so great, and with the arrogance. ah, i still remember those tears streaming continuously, running into the rain. probably from much of the exuberance and enthusiasm into bitterness and being barren. running out from the gate in the rain, and thank you ryan goh for chasing me out (: it was kind of sweet for you. i guess breaking down like that had not been such a great idea, but briefly i just decided it was it.
OEP at malacca was quite fun. 2.2 im gonna miss you like %^&*(*&^%$ you really have thought me a lot, getting to know my new super great friends like bestie! hoong, and i guess everybody else luh. it was really a great, close knitted class. enjoyed myself thoroughly, with nong stan and ben mok too! ah. amos ming kang, everyone la. chongker, everyoneee. haha. hmmm getting back to oep. haha. from sitting in the front of the bus. being quiet. being silent, eventually opened up to this group of people, felt a little awkward but not anymore. seeing how close the rest of the people were, i just made up my mind to go join them. i sat with them at the back of the bus, got to know the ppl better (: i think it was hoong bubbles chongker and me and basil. yeah all of us sat at the bus. it was quite fun lah haha. we really had a ball of a time talking together, knowing one another in a close and personal way. the various activities, the occasional spirit of being rebellious, cleaning that house, the hotel, not being too bold, did not follow the rest in climbing out of the window, rooming with aloysius. WOW. so many things at one camp haha. aloy falling sick. trading songs. sleeping. swimming, waterpolo. FUN. haha. talking frienships, building relationships. CHEATING-swapping the cards with hoong and sabo-ing ppl hahaha. it was quite fun luh. then going to the funny tribal dances.
my birthday, a holiday! haha. after oep in a high spirit, we decided to go out to erm plaza sing or sth. where amos bubbles hoong and i! we went to meet at macs or sth. i think i was late hoong was waiting for us. or sth. there was the ben and jerry ice cream haha i got treated or sth (: haha. they wanted to get me a present but i think i said no. haha. it was a really fun outing going out together. EH. let's do that again next year! haha. i think it would be quite fun luh, wait it WILL, as long as we are enjoying ourselves. not spent by doing much things. my family and i then wanted to go to shaslik or sth liddat but cause i think i had a tummyache or sth i wanted to eat sth light. so we went to cofffee club ate and went home. i think i got some clothes from parents haha.
cause of my tummyache, i did not go to school the following day! haha. amos said that my dream came through and i was like whatever lah hahaha. in the beginning i guess i was super guaiii, like sitting in front of the class, listening to teacher like a lot a lot, my art was quite terrible in the beginning. learnt from david lui, eventually improved a bit i guess. had much fun. haha. the first term report was quite good lah hahaha. i think that was about it for that week or so?
