My romantic date

with calvin eng wei guo today. We took slow strolls along the pavements of the roads with the cars swooshing by in the rain and the little droplets of rain that felt like love. But i had my climb on shirt wrapped around my head, which made me looked retarded.
But I told him that, it's alright, cos i only go to Queensway once in a blue moon, so no one will recognise this retarded person anyway. HAHAHA

I've never had so much fun in such a long timeee, one to one company ftw. He was there to lug the big red plastic bag of climbing shirts and i told him he looked like clement who went to climb asia to mass buy climbing accessories for the climbing club.

We fooled around in Ikea after that. That bugger wanted to take a grill pan to fake-whack me and ended up whacking his own hand cos the handle was retractable then the pan retracted when he lifted it up to whack me. How smart right. We were like shopping for home stuffs in ikea like we were already a family and living together k. He talks as if like "EH I GOT GRILL PAN LIAO LA STILL SEE FOR WHAT" and i said "YOU THINK YOUR HOUSE GOT GRILL PAN MEANS MY HOUSE HAVE MEH???"

After that, we couldn't bear to leave each other. But he bear to see me take a freezing bus home by myself that was a really long and lonely journey AND GO OFF FOR HIS LOVELY DINNER AT VIVO WITH HIS DAD FETCHING HIM THERE. How disappointing.

P.S This post is under the influence of calvin eng wei guo, hence the overly emotional and dramatic portions. the usually calm me wouldn't blog so excitedly. HAHAHAHA

When life takes a stroll

You see, you get too much inspiration when you are so busy with life and when you want to blog about it, you complain of the lack of time. Now that I have so much time on my hands, I haven't got an ounce of inspiration for blogging.

Just a little update...

It's roughly 2-3 weeks more before the climbing club set off for our virgin overseas trip to Batu Caves! If i said i was exhilarated, it'd be an understatement. I really, really, cannot find words to express my love for outdoor climbing. It's like an art itself, the flow and grace is like when i was so into Slaloming back then. It's not just about executing a particular move, it's about executing it with poise. Philip does it so well, and you know how many years of hard work he has put into polishing and refining those techniques.

The school term is coming to an end soon, with the last lap of PW coming so close, I'm thinking of ways to busy myself for the holidays. Apparently, it's not very fruitful because all i've been doing is watch movies and sleep. Trust me, when i say sleep, i really mean sleep. Apart from the 8 hours of priority sleep that i get nightly, I have those long hours of naps in the afternoons and mornings. I feel like a big baby who needs at least 16 hours of sleep per day. How am i going to be survive when i start working?!
You can't just heck the work and put your head down whenever the sleepiness start setting in like in school.

My mom has already started chasing me about the time when i can start going to office to start work for my holidays. When i think of how busy i am going to be, I really wonder if i can work for the full 5 days from 9-6pm. Oh well, i guess we will see when it comes eh.

Being the much fickle-minded person i am, i think my future lies in interior designing. After so many years... i still have so much passion for it. My mind, body and soul respond to it so actively. I still remember i was skating alone around the bedok reservoir area, then I saw this newly launched condo with the bright yellow lights and white interior furnishing standing out from the construction site, I stopped in my tracks and marvelled at the design. Tell me how I can ignore this burning desire and go into Econs?

like father like son

All those times of feeling that I needed a father's love are down-scaled when in comparison to my brother. Now that he's in the NS, he really needs that father figure so much more than me. I feel so miserable for him thinking how pathetic i was without a father, but I've never thought of how much harder it is for my brother to cope with.

Today we went to eat dinner before he booked in, and he mentioned about his best friend's dad sending his friend to and fro from camp to home, how his dad always reminded him to come home earlier because he needed to book in the next day. Just this little sharing of feelings made me feel sooo sad for him... I tried to console by saying optimistically that "mommy can do that too!", obviously it didn't help. It's not the same.

I watched the sister's keeper with my mom on Saturday... it was so heartwarming. My tears just kept flowing. The quality life that we are all seeking is so easy to say and picture, but so hard to attain in reality.

A family's bond transcends everything else.

Aside from that, I would like to dedicate this to all my friends who have been through promos, titans and slogging our guts out for PW with me. Without you guys, there wouldn't be me.



Remember that this is not the end of our journey, there's so much more ahead in life to look forward to. Don't let minor setbacks make you lose sight of the big picture.

even though it's a baby step, it's still a step

Good news is that I am officially going to be in J2 next year without having to drop any of my 4H2s, bad news is that I am stuck in a dilemma whether to drop Physics or Lit or none. See, sometimes bad things come in disguise too. I know I'm taking the easy way out of this... but i really don't want to make the same mistake of holding onto 2 pure sciences like in Sec 4 and getting B3 for both when I could have gotten A1 for combined science. I really cannot make this decision, and they are giving us toooo little time. Sigh... i need advice, but at the end of the day I will still be the one deciding, so that still leaves me with being stuck in a dilemma.

My hands are feeling raw and nice. It's kinda puffy and swollen but I like it. I know it sounds sadistic, but it kinda feels weird to not have that kind of feeling for soooo long. My climbing is slowly picking up..slowly i'm sure. Hopefully i'll be able to last throughout for climb on. At the pace that i'm picking it up, i worry that i might disappoint myself on Saturday.

Promo results

It's going to be the day tomorrow, I wonder how many tears will be shed, be it joy or sorrow.
I'm only dying to know how I've fared for physics and econs. The rest can go fly kite.
Cross my heart and fingers that I have no problem promoting. There's just too much other things to worry about than not promoting.

Climb on is coming by too fast. It feels sooooo good to be climbing again. I love the feeling being on the high wall, the adrenaline rush of reaching the top and shouting for tight, the breeze on the face when I'm being lowered, the laughter and jokes shared inside the cosy B area, and most of all, the smile on Philip's face yesterday when he was with us after the loooooongggg hiatus! I've never seen him this happy, or maybe it was just me. HAHA...

The to-do list have been striked off with ktv session, movie outings, shopping trip(not exactly), chill-out sessions. There's still so much more to do...!

I swear i'm going to work my body out so much with the start of this new climbing season and achieve another new high. Titans made me see pain as pleasure, nice.

Oh did i forget to mention? KI Room is the nicest place in school to chill out, sing songs, talk cock, pillow fight and what not, but with the a/c turned on. I love 28/09 so much.
