The Guilt

You feel guilty because you were supposed to head to the gym today. You told yourself that you will head to the gym on alternate days. You said this is your holiday goal. This is your chance to keep fit because you have been eating a lot throughout the semester.

You succeeded on Sunday and Tuesday. You were supposed to run on Thursday morning but you told yourself that you need to do your laundry and pack up as you are moving back home that day. You unpacked everything and you decided that you will go down to the gym for your workout. You succeeded. Saturday came and you told yourself you would go to the gym in the morning. You woke up early to gym, and yet your book takes priority over your gym session. 

It is Saturday night, you are typing this blogpost and you are feeling extremely guilty. You just had a good dinner with your family after sunset service. It is currently 8.45pm and you are waiting for your food to digest. 

Quick! You still have time to head to the gym! It closes at 12am. The gym is just 5 minutes away. By the time your stomach finished digesting the food, it will be 10.30pm. The inertia is going to be real at 10.30pm as you sleep early at around 10.30pm or 11pm everyday. 

Beside you is a stack of new clothes. Your mom is outside your room nagging at you to bathe. After you click 'publish' you would go for your bath. Your brother just knocked at your door to remind you to bathe and wash your hair for you only wash your hair once every 2 days. That means you wash your hair on days when you gym. 

Good job Nicole. You're feeling extremely guilty now because you will wash your hair tonight and you are not going to the gym. How can you ever overcome this immense guilt? This inherent guilt will be with you until you head to the gym.

Now, take this guilt with you to the toilet as you bathe and as you sleep. 

And you will go to the gym in your dreams. 

The cycle will repeat until you go to the gym.

Who asked you to eat so much during the semester? You started this yourself, you have to stop this guilt yourself.  

Taking pictures

I'm not a professional photographer and I do not know how to take pictures in the perfect ratio. But I enjoy taking pictures of everything I do.

At that moment when one snaps a picture, everything at that moment comes to a standstill no matter how perfect or ugly that moment is. As I scroll through my photo album, I found too many selfies of myself and too many pictures of other people doing other things. Nothing explicit. I can't help but to smile when I look at these pictures as I recall what was happening that day and the emotions that ran through my head on that day. (I know I am supposed to be studying...) 

The following are a few pictures I took over the past 2 years-

This was taken almost exactly a year ago. I remember how we walked past and saw 'STAIN' on the board outside the student lounge. Mok and XinSiang laughed at how I was the stain of SA. Funny how I am the good kid. Being good kids, we decided to change it back to SAINT instead of studying. Well, I then got scolded because I didn't help to change it back to saint but instead, stood there to take a selfie.

This was also taken sometime ago. I never thought I would visit them in Vietnam. There was a promotional discount that the tickets to the band concert would be cheaper if you go with a scholar. I went with 2 scholars instead. But the discount was 1 for 1. Even when they toured me in Vietnam, I continued to receive discounts because they thought I was local.

We went back to St Nicks and Lizzie was studying in the new lounge. I remember I came from my my teaching internship training at NUS and I swear it was the longest ride I ever took back then because St Nicks was somewhere in AMK. It was just a random snapshot that made us laugh as she looked as if she was going on a war with the little kids. How old are you Lizzie? That night, I saw many of my graduating juniors who I welcomed in into St Nicks when I was Secondary 4. It was nice to see them grow and mature while I was away. (They used to stalk me HAHA)

This isn't the best picture of one of my many snapshots of Evan. He's extremely camera shy when it comes to individual photos. I took this in Vietnam on Day 1. That day, I was so excited as it was my first time travelling out of Singapore without my parents but with my close friends. What will I do without Evan who carried everything for me because I kept buying things? It was one of the rarest time he was in front of me because throughout the entire trip, he made sure that Doan and I were in front of him.

Kihan was skateboarding/penny boarding. It was a Monday that we went out to engineering for lunch. SOE had a lot of food and I was basically spoiled for choices as everything was cheaper than Utown. That Monday was the Monday that I learnt that I'll need more than 1 hour to learn how to penny board. I thought I could pick it up almost immediately like skating. On a side note, Kihan's really good at penny boarding and he'd always turn around so that I can catch up with him. It's unfortunate we can't continue our weekly Monday lunch because we got busy.

It's rare that XinSiang looks good in this photo because he's always the not-so-glamorous one due to his awkward photo face. This was taken after a sweaty day of walking into the jungle in an attempt to explore Singapore. The guys were acting as if they were in some urban operation where ever we go to and I would be in the center. Apparently, I was told that I have a role and I never knew what that role is until now. It was a Sunday and we all know, vanity is sweaty. All for 100 over likes on Instagram.

It was my birthday and I was really glad to have Beatrice and Vivian with me. These 2 are my closest friends who have been with me since secondary 1. I was once Beatrice's Bishan buddy and now I'm Vivian's Sengkang buddy as I recently moved to Sengkang. It was on 19/9/15 that they tailgated into my condo and followed my relatives around while saying that they can't be my relatives at the back. How funny. Though I stay near Vivian now, we seldom meet because I'm barely at home.

Here is a picture of me putting facial mask while writing my QR essay. That was the previous Sunday when I stayed in and forced myself to finish up draft 1. I worked since 6am to finish it up only to finish 3/4 by lunch. I was rather worked up as my excel skills did not come smoothly. Blessed am I to have 2 screens to work with. I met XS and Mok for lunch that day and I went home after 15 days of camping in my room. I felt good even though I barely did anything.

This is an extremely raw photo taken the next day after my previous photo. Little did I know my mom and my brother were both sick so I had to disturb them to make my presence known since I was home. I came back the next day and I actually fell sick after that. The highest temperature reached was 38.6 degree celcius and I had to get fever cooling patches for babies to keep my sanity. I am just glad it's not tonsillitis. I was in fact rather productive that night even though I was sleepy and I finished up my essay for QR.

This is a picture of a 大叔 I befriended in USP. I never thought I would actually be friends with this giant because I never spoke to him during orientation despite being in the same orientation group/house. Nonetheless, this 大叔 (notice how he looks like Steven Lim) is a very nice 大叔 who ate breakfast with me throughout the entire semester and my body clock wouldn't be at 7am now without this 大叔. By the way, you wouldn't want to study with him when he is doing WCT because of his round bottom flask. (psst, he looks like he's gonna fight)

This is a picture of Weixin and I at IKEA. This picture was taken was exactly a week before my birthday and I didn't know he would employ such tactics to get me out of my room, entertain me while the rest of my village invaded my room (with Kihan's help) to surprise me because they can't make it on my birthday. I really miss 8.45am, door 17, beehoon + egg and taugua days. Well, I satisfied my cravings for meatballs. :P

Here is a picture of Shao and I during USS. If I remember correctly, we were using my front camera to stalk the USS group behind us because we were bored. And snap!- A picture of us during USS. It's amazing how every Wednesday would be our study USS together days. It's even amusing that we were from the same training group for our teaching internship programme at the start of the year. HAHA. Mrs Noreen's Kids.

A picture taken with the Queen while we were waiting for tutorials to start. We were at S5 and didn't have inorganic chem tutorial that week. At that time, we were discussing about camp comm and she was basically spamming everyone on my contact list. Though this queen is a really demanding queen, this semester wouldn't be as bearable without her.

Taken in science library to send my mommy on a Friday after my tutorials. My mom pointed out that I looked tired instead of the 'alive' I captioned. Well, it was the 3rd/4th week of school and my body clock was a wreck and I was struggling to even wake up to attend 8am classes because I slept at 12am almost everyday. What was I doing?

Farewells are always the hardest. This was the last group picture taken before my bouncy spring flew back to Vietnam and then off to Montreal to pursue a career in Nursing. I cried buckets after that as I really do not know when I will ever get to see her again. To me, this is the most beautiful picture I 've taken this year (followed by all the pictures we took together in Vietnam for 10 good days). Thank God for college day so that I can send her off properly as I cried so badly on the last day of my Vietnam trip. I just felt that I could be a better host in Singapore as she stayed at my house during her last few days in Singapore. Here, in this picture are people who came from different CCAs (some of us are from the same CCA), different classes and different schools (Isaac, the in bright blue pants) to gather around for one last picture together despite our busy schedules. Yet, it's really amazing how we became friends with each other (especially Isaac who isn't from SA but got to know doan and I because of Evan). Aww man, I'm starting to feel sad again.



There are many more pictures that I've taken but I'll never start studying for my finals if I continue. It's always nice looking at old pictures once in a while and it's always nice to continue taking snapshots of my everyday life. I guess my selfies do mean a lot to me after all.

To end off, to me, a picture doesn't mean a thousand words but it is a moment that never changes even though the people in the pictures do. 

Sometimes, I Just have to grow up

I am a conscious living being, capable of making rational decisions. I am 19 and I am desperately trying to break away from the little girl image that I've been holding to for 19 years. And I have failed. Sometimes, it is really nice to have all attention on you and sometimes, it is simply just hard to change the way I behave unconsciously. Yet, my thoughts do not reflect one of a 16 year old girl and I strongly believe that my own opinion matters. Yet again, I do not voice them out. What will I do if I voice them out? Will I get into trouble?

While I want to grow up so that I can be free of other people imposing their opinions on me, there is still a part of me who doesn't want to break away from this good little girl image. I am sure that there is a way to compromise such opinions and I just have to find the guts to voice it out.

Dear friends, if you happen to be reading this, please don't think that I'm going to die or do anything dangerous or whatsoever. It's just a random thought that came across my mind as I continue to type my essay on reality and appearance. 

Defying Gravity

WILD.

The last month was crazy. I've been going out daily and I've seriously no idea that December had just come to an end... Nevertheless, this post summarizes the highlights of December.

Tuesday 26 November 2013
((My last visit to the beach of the year))
Carnation, Elisabeth and I went to the most ulu beach in Sentosa- Tanjong beach.
Honestly, we weren't prepared for our beach trip. No picnic mats, NOTHING. We were thinking that we needed a logistics comm in the future.
However, though we were unprepared for the beach and despite being worried that it might rain, I'm so grateful that god had bless us with excellent weather and excellent time spent together.
The weather was not too hot and neither was it raining. In fact, it was stuck in 'about to rain' status in which we were really. From lying on the sand by creating our 'bed' to playing with water and to playing with seaweed, I really enjoyed my time. In fact, there was this moment when we didn't talk and just sat back on the sad to enjoy the weather and each other's company. I really treasure the times spent with these 2 dorks and I hope to see them soon in the upcoming year. <33 p="">Well, Carnation and I went shopping after that. Lets say it didn't go so well because the longer we stay in Bugis, the more cash we spend.

Sunday 1 December 2013
Went out with my shopping buddy- GOH SHI HUI
This woman made me wait for her for 1hour30minutes. Being the patient me (as always), I waited for her. I even read finish the entire times magazine. Well, the reason for her being late was because she couldn't 'stick' contacts into her eyes. Nevertheless, I really miss her.
Whenever we go out, we'd usually shop in which both of us are NOT spendthrift at all. The damage was $109. TT Crying over my empty wallet but it was okay. I didn't shop for such a long time I actually wonder how did I survive.

Tuesday 3 December 2013
Finally had the chance to met up with Xuan and Alicia. After an entire year of me studying for promos and doing pw, and an entire year of them studying for Olevels, we met up - and we ate pancakes.
Yeap, since those 2 n00bs have never eaten strictly pancakes in their entire life, I brought them to eat pancakes. After which, we went to play pool. It was hilarious because Huijan was just using extension half the time.
We then watched Frozen and it was so cute. I'm totally in love with Olaf because he is so adorable xx. I can't wait to meet them again. I can't believe how time passes- an entire year of celebrating each other's birthday by making memes, texting each other, fangirling and complaining to each other- since 2010. LOL.

Wednesday 4 December 2013
Met up with my hang out buddies. I swear its been 23456780 years since we've met each other. We used to hang out everyday in our secondary years- drinking bubble tea, studying and talking nonsense.
Brought them to pool. Seriously HAHAHAHA. Okay yes, they unfortunately can't play pool and never even thought of stepping into one once. We were all on budget so we travelled all the way to clementi to play pool. :B We even ate at our usual coffee shop, S11 at bishan. Totally a great time catching up with each other. Can't wait to see them soon someday. ((I miss studying with beat and shar sooo much))

Saturday 7 December 2013
5th year volunteering at Morning Star.
I didn't know a small service learning project in secondary 1 would turn out to us volunteering every year till now.
As usual, great food, great company, great time. Service at our best.
However, I've learnt something new this time and that was to be responsible what you were given. Honestly, I'm not irresponsible. But sharlene and I kind of overlooked something this time and in the future, I promise that I will not be this careless again. #extraefforttoremember
Other than that, I was totally in the Christmas spirit. (:

Tuesday 10 December 2013
Went to the Gardens By the Bay with Goh Shi Hui.
AS A SINGAPOREAN, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO GARDENS BY THE BAY BEFORE.
I'm so embarrassed.
So... with my semi-DSLR, both of us went to the gardens by the bay and took 1000 over pictures. I was like WHAT WAS I TAKING. But honestly, I was SO upset because the FLOWER DOME wasn't open. But the cloud tower was beautiful. *cough* the temperature is perfect weather. I love the Gardens by the Bay and I hope to be able to go back there to see my flower dome. ((This sounds cheesy but I want my future boyfriend-if I ever get one-to bring me to watch the light show))
The light show was beautiful... Had such a great time with ShiHui. It IS the highlight of the December Holidays. I hope to go back there someday but honestly, HIGHLIGHT of my December Holidays.

 

11 December 2013-22 December 2013
To be elaborated in the 2-3 posts later ((in 2014))

Monday 23 December 2013
After pushing back so many dates, Joan and I finally managed to met up to have lunch and to catch up with each other.
Aww, can't believe I'm actually 3 years older than this kiddo. I feel so old right now :( Hope to see her soon.

Met Weixin and Canice after to study and /shop/ in which it was quite upsetting because the queues were so long. ((psst weixin and I decided to shop on the 24th at 10am. And I'm serious.. we did!)) By the way, I had a great time camwhoring with the Christmas tree outside Ion. Finally being able to see the Christmas lights. (:

Tuesday 24 December + Wednesday 25 December 2013
Like what I said... Both WeiXin and I went shopping from 10am to 12pm. The damage was high. Honestly, can't resist the sales.
Went to for Children's Christmas Mass and well, I'm not a kid anymore so they didn't give me any thing. Overgrown kid :( After all, it was Christmas and I enjoyed the atmosphere very much.
Moving on, went to Weixin's house for Christmas party with Jon Yeo, Jon Fung, Vanessa, Jae, Xs and Mok. Jon, Jon, Wx and I didn't even sleep. In fact we were watching Frozen, followed by the starving games which was really just stupid. Woke everyone else up by 6pm and walked to  macritchie reservoir from Weixin's house in Braddell just to see the sunrise. Though there wasn't much sun, it was still a good way to start Christmas morning.

We then went to the market to have breakfast.

Slept from 10.30am to 4.30pm before waking up to going for Christmas party at my greatgrandpa's house. Such a great time catching up with all my aunties and uncles. PLUS GOOD FOOD. hehehe.

See them soon for Chinese New Year xx!

Saturday 28 December 2013
Bishan NCC Christmas party was more like a mini gathering for Sharlene Greg and I.
Gregory being my friend for 8 years and Sharlene being my friend for 5 years, we haven't seen each other in a year! Finally caught up with them. (:

Monday 30 December 2013
Had my first GP tuition yesterday. FIRST GP TUITION after procrastinating for a year with Xs, Vanessa, Jon and Leonard. I hope to ace this subject. Really.

Went to Weixin's house after to 'study' and had starbucks in bishan with our starbucks card. :B

Tuesday 31 December 2013
I'm desperately trying to wrap up 2013. Unfortunately, there's too much to talk for 2013. There's still the huge gap from 11 December to 22 December left unsaid.
Summary of my holidays:

 

Dramas watched:

1. Gu Family Book
2. Shutup Flower Boyband
3. Master's sun
4. The heirs
5. Flower boy next door
6. Dating agency Cyrano
7. School 2013 (still on going TT)

All in all December was a really hectic month. Other than that, I really enjoyed December despite it being a half stressful month. Besides, I haven't been able to complete my homework and I people kept emphasizing on the 'Its Alevels next year!!!!!!! Study during your holidays!!' 
I'm really thankful for those who accompanied me through December 2013 because my holiday wouldn't be this colorful without them.
This holiday was indeed a meaningful one. 'The Heralds' made my holidays meaningful that spreading the joy became a priority. I never thought that my holidays would be spent this way and I never thought that my holidays would go this far. I've done so many things that I've never done during this school year or even in my entire life.
- recording a Christmas album
- selling an album to raise funds
- going to the beach
- playing pool
- watching movies
- sleepover at a friends house
- watched the sunrise
- going to the gardens by the bay
- shopping
- been to the airport so many times
- gone to braddell more times than the number of times that I've been there for the last 1 and a half year.
I've also met up with people that I haven't met through the year and I'm thankful to god that I managed to find time to meet them- sharlene lee, carnation kng, Elisabeth lim, huijan, Alicia, joan, shihui, Amanda, Vivian, Beatrice tan, Angeline Tay. Okay I haven't met up with so many other people but I'm still thankful and I hope to be able to meet up with others in the coming year.
Looking back, it's okay that I didn't go overseas. It's also okay that I didn't work to earn money for myself.
I just want to say, I really enjoyed myself. 
This was the shortest but the best holiday ever.
No regrets.

Nothing's over

Its a really long entry this time round and I hope that I didn't miss out any events from 6 November. I'll comeback if I remember anything. Wow, I've been out almost every single day till today. Even today which I didn't blog about because it was just going to church.
The holidays officially started and I guess I've been playing for the last few weeks. Its time to get back work. (I hope that I can get myself to do some work.) Besides, I can't be wasting my holiday off playing all day right? I was thinking of spending 2-3 hours each day to do some work till the last week of December. If I finish all my work, I'm a genius. If I still didn't then I'll be mugging the last 2 weeks of my holidays. Besides there's MSA in week 2 next year

Wednesday 6 November 2013
6 November 2013 is the day that I've self-declared the end of PW.

What happened after was much more interesting in which Rosa, Jared, Neela, Bryan, Jason, Janessa, BiJuan, YanTing, Vanessa and I went to eat strictly pancakes. It has been a long time since we sat down together to eat because we don't even do so in school now. I think...

With my PW group.

My favourite pancakes.

 

Thursday 7 November 2013
In lieu of the 'end' of PW, Rosa, Janessa, Bijuan, Jason, Bryan and I continued our celebration part 2.

So after discussing on Wednesday, we decided play pool, bowl and play arcade. It was really fun and I've really enjoyed myself because all of us were noobs at pool and bowling. Maybe Bijuan is much better at bowling and though it wasn't my first time pooling I think I still suck at it. Arcade was tad boring because there wasn't many fun games and we were kind of reluctant to spend money on arcade. After, we went to Domino's and had a great time together though we've discovered many ups and downs during the year and many 'secrets'. I'm still glad that this has certainly brought us closer together.

 

 

Friday 8 November 2013
Got back my promos results on the 8th of November and well, to celebrate our promotion to J2, Evan, his friends (Clement and YinQing) and I went to Ngee Ann Poly to eat. It wasn't intentional. We wanted to head to botanic gardens to play but then it started drizzling and coincidentally, the bus goes to Ngee Ann Poly so we decided to stop there to have something before going home.
Come to think of it, I remember that I really wanted to go to POLY because I really wanted to do this course- landscape architecture or probably some environment course and I hated being in JC. Now that I looked back all I can say that I've come this far. Though it was 1 year but this 1 year was much more intensive than Olevel itself.

Saturday 9 November 2013- Aunty Veron's wedding and YFC gathering
9 November was Aunty Veron's big day! But before I attened the wedding service, I actually went to school to meet Mrs Saleem for my I&R at 7.15am. When I first told my mum, my mum was like "You must be crazy!" Yupp, indeed. Because the wedding service was at 9.30am and Potong Pasir to Bishan to Yio Chu Kang is no joke. Not to mention that I went to school in my half uniform which is not something you would wear to a wedding so I had to wash up and change...
I still made it on time and it was really nice to witness her wedding because we've grown up together.- Veron, Francis, Jonathan, Jeremy, my brother and I. Jonathan, my brother and I are the younger ones though and I still remember that we used to 'bet' who would marry first.

You wouldn't believe that jonathan's my uncle.

After the wedding mass and lunch, I went to bedok to meet Evan because we were supposed to get stuff for our VWO but everyone was late so evan and I went sat at Mos and played Pokemon on his laptop then I napped while he continued playing. We then went to our VWO's house in which we had loads of fun sharing our street sales experience and everything. Our VWO is really nice and I'm grateful to have them as our VWO. More imporatantly, never would I expect one of them to be Marissa's mum or should I say both to be Marissa's parents. Oh shit it was embarrassing because I didn't recognize them. 

Sunday 10 November 2013
To continue celebrating, Isaac, Ngan, Xin Siang, Jae Eun, Evan and I went to play pool. AGAIN. Yes, again. I really had loads of fun (with a different group of people) because Xin Siang was really funny.

We then watched Thor afterwards. Impromptu outing but it was a great day! I really enjoyed myself. But I must say that Thor isn't really good though. I barely knew what was happening until the movie had ended and Evan explained what had happened.

Monday 11 November 2013

11 November was officially the end of PW. I felt like I was signing the divorce papers. Be it A or B, I believe that its not the grade that count because I've learnt a lot during this journey.
I can't believe that there won't be anymore Mrs Saleem. Mrs Saleem is a really good tutor. She has taught me how to think critically.

Tuesday 12 November 2013
Went to SAJS for lunch and we ended up having free pop corn and ice cream. Well, Rosa, Janessa and I went to help the aunty and uncles clean the canteen up since they seem to be short of manpower.

We then didn't want to go home after school at 4.30pm after physics lecture so we headed to Clementi Recreational Center to bowl. The lane sux. My score was way less than my average score. #YOLO

Friday 15 November 2013
Struck me that morning that it was the last day of school. Till now, I still couldn't believe that it was the last day of school because it felt like last day of orientation. You get what I mean? Well, Advocates went off early to Simei care centre for learning journey in which I've learnt a lot on mental health. I personally feel that we should all work towards reducing social stigma as a CCA to advocate for those who are less mentally stable. I feel that the learning journey should be longer though...

Anyway, Randy, Denise, Rebecca, Vincent, Jae Eun, Xin Siang and I went to bowl at Kovan and Pool HAHA again. We were supposed to go cycling but then it started raining. (I had forgotten to get the picture from randy!) Had a lot of fun talking about our advocate hostel stay, followed by the events throughout the year during lunch. We were even wondering how we were selected to get into advocates. We've indeed been through a lot.
My dad bought me a new bike!

Saturday 16 November 2013
YFC thanksgiving day. Bought sparking for our VWO and tea for the uncle. Well, we were supposed to reflect but lets say it didn't work out so well. Bona, Leonard, Ngan, Wei Xin and Jonathan then came to my house to record their Christmas album to raise funds. Lets hope that it works out. (:

Sunday 17 November 2013
Met Jae Eun in the morning to pass him his portable charger which I helped him to get as he needed it for his London trip before meeting Bona to go to expo to look for Vans. Meh, the size of my feet are too common so I couldn't find my pair. Bona got a pair of nice crocs from the crocs shoe sales next door instead! We then went to bugis to eat. (I can't remember what that hawker was called though.)

Monday 18 November 2013- Airport to send London trip
Went to the airport at night to 'send' the London trip people off to London. Apparently, I didn't mean to 'send' them off. My motive was to go to the airport to play because I didn't want to stay at home. Nevertheless still said bye to Jae and Ngan. Watched airplanes fly while eating dinner.

Tuesday 19 November 2013
YFC closing ceremony marks the end of YFC. YFC reflections

Wednesday 20 November 2013
Watched Ender's game with Isaac, Xin Siang and Evan. Before that, Isaac, Xin Siang and I discovered a new pool place in town and.... we played pool again. LOL. Ender's game wasn't really good because I fell asleep halfway. I thought that the ending was very weird because it was too abrupt. Aww man.  I was actually sick after running around town and I kind of fell asleep during the climax. Correction: HALF ASLEEP. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed myself.

Thursday 21 November 2013
Pooled with Amanda and Vivian. I think at this point, my life must be really boring but no. Amanda is really fun to play pool with because she's too funny! We then watched catching fire which is probably gonna suck more money from me because I'll be waiting or I AM waiting for mocking jay. Pfft. I'm so angry now. Played around at city square mall and honestly, I'm ashamed of myself for taking picture with all the Christmas stuff because it shows that I still haven't grow up.
Amanda is still giving me her shit face whenever I do something stupid. Aww, I really miss this Amanda and Vivian. We're like together since forever... In class and in guides. I hope to see them soon!

Saturday 23 November 2013
Saturday was so impromptu till I don't know what to say. Yifen messaged me at 8am to ask if she could come to my house for a while. I woke up at 10.45am and called her to come for like 15 minutes. Then I saw Carnation's message that she could go to SN's open house and so I chased yifen out and off I go to meet Carny Kng.
It felt good to be back at home. I've grown up in St Nicks for 10 years. I got to see Ms Yee and my juniors. Ate CHEAP food. I gotta emphasize CHEAP because JC is so expensive till my pocket keeps crying non-stop till I'm so poor. Guides were doing some flower initiative to give to the cleaners. They're so cute I was like why did I graduate so soon. Anyway, here is a mini bouquet that I did!

With Carnation under our favourite tent. Well, we took too many pictures so it would be ridiculous if I have everything up here. I think I'll upload them on to facebook some day. We then bused down to change airport to accompany Bona before he flew off in which 3 of us just drank gong cha while bona and carnation talk about art. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I've no interest in art. That kind of pastel thingy that I really can't appreciate. Nevertheless, bye grandpa!

Here's a picture with my grandpa/grandma. Watched planes and talked to carnation for like more than 2 hours before heading home.
