It surprised me that I had a post on Darren not too long ago, despite how long it's been since I've heard or seen from him. Recently, I bumped into him at Serangoon MRT station. He said hello to me, else I wouldn't have realised, and in that split second I realised that despite all the hate I had and all the anger that was built up had subsided. James explained a few incidents that occurred to Darren, and how it brought him to where he is today, and asked if I pitied him. It's true - time heals all wounds.

I wonder would he even know me now
We were so young and it was long ago
Or will the memories rush back all at once with one hello

I wonder if he'll even know my name
Or must I remind him of those days
He used to love me then, he may still love me now

It took the girls about one full minute before we were confident enough to get into this position. The guys, on the other hand, were complaining about the weight we had all put on after the examinations. The LTC Facilitators really reminded me alot about how fun NYJC days used to be (:

Back in Nanyang, I used to hate Thursdays, but not anymore!

Returned to Nanyangjc with June and Sebastian (and Peng Tian), just for the kick of it. Pretty down these days, but like my mother says, my problems will just 'die a natural death', so not to worry (: Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself in Nanyang, there's just a homely feel each time I return.

Spent pretty much the rest of the day with June studying (: Yay, I can still do Mathematics, I'm so proud of myself! =P LOL, and we fed ourselves to our delights in Pizza Hut, hees (: Love my girl talks with her (: I miss Monic though; Monic, hurry come back from camp!

They onced said on my Graduation Day, someday when we returned back to Nanyangjc, the school would have changed, but the values would remain the same.

Goodness me, that's a heck of a change. Even the size of my CHOCOLATE OREO changed - it shrunk! ): sigh, I felt like some tourist in Nanyang! Oh, but I think Annaling and I had a good time finding juniors to take photographs with. I tried calling Lester papa, but he was having lessons.

The best part was when I had to rush off from Nanyang. Then LOW AND BEHOLD! - FIRE DRILL! It was the SUPER DOTS moment there okay (even though Ms Chiew already prewarned us). But I really had to rush off! So I talked to Mr Singh and Mr Pio.
"What's so urgent? You got to go back to your husband?"
"YAH, I got to rush back to cook porridge for my dying eighty-six year old husband!"
"Most important question, IS HE RICH?"
"YES!"
"Okay, she has to go. Open the gate for her!"
LOL. Mr Singh never fails to crack up jokes whenever I talk to him. Anyway, Mr Pio helped me open the gate, but he told me,
"Don't tell anyone I helped you open this gate. You just.. WENT THROUGH IT."
"OH, OK!"
Crap, two years listening to him lecture, and I didn't know he was this much crap as well, LOL.

Was away at LTC for the last few days. I really have nothing to blog about it. Whatever it is, I just wanted to thank the fellow facilitators for helping me through this camp, for your jokes, for your support, and for being there. Thank you facilitators of LTC 08, it was nice meeting you. Thank you Mr William Yeo as well, for the few random chats we had during the camp, as well as Zhi Yuan who was my only dance partner for the Yule Ball.

She'll never believe me, but thank you anyway for letting me off on the last day of LTC camp. Thank you Ms Chiew.



"Haha. I know la. You miss me right. Tsk. Dont shy. Haha!"
So there I was typing back to Jillian.
"Miss u many many. Aiyah see u then okay, loves ..."
And I hadn't even typed finished when Hui Xiang peeked over and went,
"OH Katrina! Messaging Boyfriend right?"
HEH?
"Messaging Girl!"
"Oops."
So there I went to complete my message to Jillian.
"loves u. Haha someone thought i msging bf when he saw this msg."
"Hahaha. Crazy. Lol. Yaya. I'll be your new boyfriend :)"

After lunch, a group of people ranging from eighteen to twenty-three years old went over to Sylvia's house to chill. Got to know new UNCLES cum seniors, hee. Anyway, I haven't received all my photographs from Taiwan (I'm left with Connie's collection), but I'll blog about my trip as soon as I've received them. Til then, I'm back to Puzzling! I bought a new Lilo and Stitch Puzzle, hee =P Anything important, CALL. SMSes and nudges don't work when I'm puzzling.

Yesterday evening was spent well with Yong Sheng and Sze Ming.
"[sm] Ok i can too! So we meet 6 for dinner? Or 630?"
"[ys] think meet 6 better la
must give time for sm to be late"

And mind you, she only SMSed us to push back the timing at 5.45pm, when Yong Sheng and I were already out of the house. But really, "we're sorry Sze Ming, we should have SMSed you at 4pm to confirm that you wanted to push back the time. It's all our fault. We should also have ordered the food earlier since you were late. Our fault too." =P I know, we're both so evil to her. But dinner was okay only lah, we ate at Cartel. We not only eat alot when we're with each other, we eat expensive =X

We watched WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS, and yes, it was a movie worth watching, because the three of us were laughing non-stop! Abit hungry, but I can't blame Sze Ming for being late so we couldn't get popcorn or drinks? ;) LOL. Good day with them nevertheless, as always ((:



Timeline for today:
10am - breakfast at Serangoon Macs
11.30am - 31st Investiture
1 pm - mingling with the juniors
3 pm - lunch at far east
5 pm - Gelare
6 pm - shopping
7 pm - DRILLBIT TAYLOR

Drillbit Taylor was good! (: Sat beside Shuen Lin, and I was quite surprised to hear her laugh in the middle of the movie. Xue Wei sat on my left too, and she just randomly shouted something in the movie. Lester was busy drinking up all my Ice Lemon Tea.

Otherwise, much of the day was spent photo-taking with the 28th, 29th, 30th and 31st. There was this super cute photograph where we had the four batches together, so when they asked what should we shout, Lester said, "All shout our batch name, see who shout louder." ;)

I wish to talk more, but let me spam this entry with photographs instead. Anyway Xue Wei and Lester complained about how grandmother-story-like my blog was =P

I don't suffer from PMS all the time you know, but today brought MOODSWING to a whole new level.

Some kok filed a complain against me and another unidentifiable person. Just because Person A was folding her arms and Person B was SMSing on the phone. And you know what the best part is? The person wasn't even asking us anything about it airport, he was asking us about our personal lives. I know this for sure because if it's a relevant question, we'd be really nice to him/her. This is.. too much. CRAPSHYT, Christopher wants our names lah, like, eight days before the end of project.

Anyway, if you ignore that incident, I'd say I quite enjoyed today. At T1 Departure Hall, Yong Sheng suddenly had this sharp pain on his leg, so he sat down for a while.
"Eh you okay or not? What happened?"
"I don't know. Just, suddenly very pain."
"OH, I think I know what happened! Yesterday went driving right? Must be your leg stretch too much cause you couldn't reach the breaks."
" [-.-"] Thanks ah."
And at T1, I saw FERNANDO - my secondary school senior! Hees (: LONG TIME NO SEE MY GOOD FRIEND! ;)

Then we decided to eat out of Changi today, so we boarded a train over to Dhoby Ghaut. On the way from Tanah Merah to City Hall, Yong Sheng and I sat beside this guy who sat at the corner. So the both of us were happily blasting our MP3s when suddenly, we heard this CROAK CROAK sound. I was like, "Huh? Whatthefreak is that? Sounded like a frog, but it sounded like it was coming from that guy beside Yong Sheng. Do you think.." I looked at Yong Sheng, who was giving me this weird OMG expression on his face. Then suddenly THE BOTH OF US BURST OUT LAUGHING OUT over that guy's froggy croak. And seriously, we kept laughing throughout the journey because he kept croaking quite often, then we had to bend down or turn away so that he wouldn't realise we were laughing at it. It was hilarious! I was practically laughing so hard that I cried =P Yong Sheng kept asking when were we alighting cause we were containing too much laughter inside us. Slightly before our stop, I really couldn't take it anymore, so I walked out of my seat, and Yong Sheng followed, then we went to one corner and started laughing a little louder. When the MRT reached City Hall, OMG, we walked out and really LAUGHED OUR HEARTS OUT. DAMN FUNNY LAH WTH.

We all went over to PS and ate Pizza Hut! (: Hee, happy happy =P
Then we went shopping! ((: Hees, I really enjoyed the company with you all (:

Went over to Kelvin's house to collect our COUPLE BAG. LOL, no lah, we're not really couple lah, but we bought the same bag but different colour =P LOVE IT, hee (:

Then I went for Nanyang Chior Concert. Saw alot of my BANANA MUFFINS! (: Gave Stevenn a hug too! Hees, see him always hug him de. The last song was entitled "Fly me to the moon", and it was quite well sung, so we demanded an encore. So the conductor came up and presented us with what he called an "overtune". LOL, guess what song they sang? CRAP, SCHOOL SONG! Feels so cheated! I actually bothered to record it on my handphone you know! LOL.

Went back on bus 265 only with Yong Kit. Again, only both our car porch lights were turned on the in the neighbourhood.

May tomorrow be a good day after what made today horrible.

The last time ever of eyecandy.
The last time ever of you.
And I'm keeping the memories away as I pack my room up today. Came across many objects, letters, stuff that brought back alot of memories in Nanyang. Even CBQ's veledictorian speech brought about some memories yesterday. Remember those days everyone got U for Math? Haha, yah, those cute memories we all had.

Although I was busy packing up my room, I kept important stuff with me, as junky as my mum calls them. I kept all the letters the 28th, 29th and 30th wrote to me; I kept the postcards I wrote to myself to remind myself how I had to be strong and move on; I kept the note my friends sent to me on Valentines Day, including the one Stanley sent; Practically anything which didn't look like notes, I kept them nicely. I even found my council nominee tag, and the lanyards from all our various events. Oh, I even kept this paper which I wrote to Annaling during one of Ms Ding's quizzes which I didn't study for.
"[me] how e hell do u rmbr so much?"
"[annaling] eat more fish"
"-.-" very funny ah! Take stanley's advice!"
(stanley's logic then was even though people told us to eat more fish to be smart, only stupid fishes got caught, so ultimately, it wasn't a really smart thing to do afterall)
"tiff's still writing X"
"too much fish le"
I even came across a piece of paper I wrote three years back during MY JC1 level camp that I'm going to get 2As, one in econs and chem. LOL. Things we did (: Hees.

Well, while I was busy dying of randomly flying and attacking dust, Yong Sheng went rovering the streets and drove over to my area.
Now talking's just a waste of breath and living's just a waste of death says:
ur house there damn ulu la

Saturday, April 19, 2008

College Day was today. I called back yesterday to tell Mr Kenneth Chee that I'll be late, but Mrs Lim picked up the call.
"Mrs Lim? Huh? OH, LIMCHOYFUNG AH?"
Then I paused for a while. Crap, forgot to add the MRS in front. But seriously, we'll remember each other I tell you. I'd remember her for making me downgrade one subject, and she'll remember me for not wanting to downgrade one subject. Both ways, I kept to my word that I'll make this choice worthwhile (:

My parents didn't come since they were busy, and they didn't see much in it, so I had to find my fake mum Annaling and fake dad Lester. Unfortunately, only my fake papa Lester came.

John came too! (: He's like, the other person in my class with 3As (: Hees, actually yah, but the school surprisingly squeezed practically everyone into the 3 distinction cateogory lah, like wth. Fair enough, it's cheaper, since we only get, what, $60? While the 4 Distinctions get $100. Cheapo nevertheless. Oh, and John said something super ridiculous while standing beside me just now.
"I'm training to protect you."
Yah right, nice try John.

Spent much of the time talking to people seat around me, ie Ziwei, Kelvin (0619), Jia Bing, Juliet. I didn't talk to the girl Cheryl sitting beside me though. I even talked to Juliet about our kindergarten days. Freak, we're that old already.

Didn't take any photographs there at all, even though 0615, 29th and alot of people were there. Even Stanley and eyecandy was there. Seriously, even after two years, the both of them still freak me out when they stand together. GAH. ): still no photograph with eyecandy ): But yah, like Fabian says, now that he's botak, he really looks like DUMBO, BIG EARS FLAPPING OUT! LOL.

Anyway, speaking of Stanley, I just had a conversation with him on MSN. Initially, I was telling Kelvin that he seemed to still be ignoring me and all, and Kelvin was like, "OMG what's his problem, can't he just move on and get on with life." Well technically, he did, and he moved on far better than me. But uh, just thought I'd bring it up to him just now, so there went random me.
kat` (: summer sunshine says:
still not in talking terms with me ah? or busy?
@Stanley@ Embrace Your Dreams says:
no lahx
@Stanley@ Embrace Your Dreams says:
i bz with my army stuffs
kat` (: summer sunshine says:
lol haha okok
@Stanley@ Embrace Your Dreams says:
sry
@Stanley@ Embrace Your Dreams says:
bz
OKAY, for starters, I didn't expect him to even respond to the previous messages I sent over to him, so this is considerably good. Let me clarify, no I do not like him anymore, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends (: I know we'll make good friends if we bothered to try.

I went around talking to some tutors during the refreshments session, and one of the teachers I talked to was Ms Hazel Ho. So as we talked, she asked, "actually, did you put in alot of effort for the As?" After getting the obvious answer, she asked, "So what motivated you?"

"Alot of factors actually. I was in a group who initially deemed me as stupid and incapable of producing results. My class was pretty pressurizing with Elvin, Deborah, Natalia etc. Kind of disappointed Ms Chiew since I promised I'd pass everything, but failed everything. Relationship problems. Parents nagging. Yah, about there."

I guess only those who really followed beside me throughout knew all these problems existed. Did you know, the three people who termed me as stupid and lazy was Fabian, Jin Han and Darren. At least Fabian offered to help. I still remembered how Jin Han criticised how I was slacking all the time, and when I finally put in effort, I got nothing in return. I remember how Darren retardly passed off all my hardwork as tyco. How they never believed I could score. Few knew how devastated I was when Stanley and I broke up. SERIOUSLY, I really felt lost, and I nearly thought my As was a gone case because I never expected myself to be able to learn to put it aside and concentrate on studying. And my parents definitely wasn't any much encouraging by going, "you better keep your notes just in case you get retained."

After hearing the story without knowing in detail, Ms Ho just told me this, "It's a good thing you have a strong mind." And I guess I never really thought about it that way til she mentioned it. I really had a good short chat with her (:



Clique outing after that! NO JOHN THOUGH ): No Jonathan or Bing Rong either. Nevertheless still fun! We Kelvin shopped; We ate Swensens! We window-shopped! We took many pictures! HEES =P *LOVES THEM MANY MANY!

The Fake Mother who never appeared for college day;
Lucky never paid her to come! =P

She even wore HEELS lah please, look at her height.
When I wore those heels, I was taller than Kelvin!
And she even went to shake me and stared into my eyes.
DAMN FREAKY CAN, ANNALING DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!

The ones who are $60 and $100 richer. That cheapo school.

The Family Puffer (:

LOVES ((: BESTIE BESTIE
(Btw, I've got an ungrateful bunch of 0830, where ZHI PENG didn't recognise me just now at College Day)

MADE WITH LOVE ((:

By the way, don't think I've mentioned this before, but Made With Love is actually a shop that two of my teachers from deyi set up. Think they were the pioneers along with a few other individuals. Although I've seen their faces in the pictures there, I've seriously never seen them there before. Mmm, bad luck I guess.

Wonderful Saturday spent once again =P HEES (:
