(and dedicating this to the awesome-estest bunch of people I know in Secondary 3 and Secondary 4.)
It's apt though, started this when I was 2 weeks or so into 12 (if memory serves well), and shall close this just a week away from turning 16. So I really hope this records well, part (at least a minute bit?) of the 4 years of life being in Secondary school. Even thought, I must admit that posts dwindled once Sec 4 started,
Phleh, another lengthy, incoherent post.
-Campus
Looking back on our current/temp (I refused to say new) campus, I think somehow, this small campus also has it's special-ness. Idk how you termed it. Maybe cause this temp campus is so tiny (haha), it feels like everyone's closer. Back in our huge/old campus, you rarely saw people playing bb/soccer and you never really could see them from the canteen. This time arnd, you would always see people playing sports, to soak in those rays.. Y'knw, it seems to slightly liven up the air at times. Then there was YOG, where we all, regardless of whether you knew each other in a batch, huddled to watch those matches, esp the gym ones, and cheer like mad. Haha. K, but I also agree due to space constrains, you no longer can meet your juniors during lunchtime/recess. ._.
-Grad night (can't say prom without the testosterone arnd);
Grad night was awesome, running arnd trying to take a photo of your friends. Friends who were there for you to Friends who you forgot/haven't spoken to in ages. Taking photos together just brings back those memories. Yes? However, photographs can always only remain photographs, just part of memory. It's a terrifying thought knowing, maybe, just maybe, those people you took photos with may travel a route way different from yours and you'll never see them again. Okay okay, it ain't supposed to end so grossly! It meansss, Keep in Touch K. AND, all of you'll looked real pretty that nice. Pretty babes on normal days, and stunning hot babes on Grad Night. (L)
-SN
Where girls share secrets.
Where girls do stupid things and laugh about it with friends.
Where girls have the occasional catfight, but all that usually ends in a pool of tears, hugs, tissuepaper maybe? (sometimes on reflection day, haha)
And to add on,
-4 Diligence
Where girls mug like mad.
Anyway, having saiddd all that.
Just wanna thank you'all for being such awesome friends, for being such a huge part of my upper sec life. (: Think I'm getting all nostalgia cause I saw all those little notes (notes from v-day notes to gradnight notes and def my shirt!) I kept, almost every single one. -(No thanks for the constant reference to the Bim**-word >:/ WHO WROTE ANYTHING LIKE THAT!). And I can't thank you all enough, for spicing up life at SN. And for those encouragements through the times I was down. Quote Xueshi and Janice, "yeah, mel you cry a lot". Yeah, those times when you lend a shoulder for me to tear on. :) Those times, when you pushed me along, telling me never to give up.
And if I have hurt you'all. Which I know I have, at times. I'm sorry.
And to rephrase something I read in Crash Test Love; 'Most people think I'm distant because I have to move the muscles in your face to show emotion, and it's something I'm terrible at (esp when I'm walking alone righhhht!)".
Awesome-est people;
GLOS - Goh (Tricia), Lee (Janice), Ong (Huirou), Seah (Hsiaowei).
(and with meeeeee, CLOGS. HAHAHA, sorry for the messed up name!)
Recessy-ers- Felly, Lam, Clee, Sue.
Go-Home-Clique. LLoTTS - Lee (Jan), Luo (xueshi), Tan (Tab), Toh (Nien), Seah (Hsiaowei)
4D soccer girls. :) Shuen, Felly, Clee, Sueyi, Lam, Soph, Es, Grace, Dan. + Recess Soccer people.
Last, but not least, THE MJ WS- Tricia, Huirou, Esther, Jan, hsiaoWei, Sophia.
To quote Shuen; "It's so hard to find people/friends who can work and play hard at the same time"

Done with the prelims hurdle.:( Have quite a few regrets though.
Anyway, wanted to pen down (er, type down) some thoughts about this article I read recently. Titled, "China's P' generation", it was an article reporting on how the young generation seems to be "xiang pi ren" as described in a book, or rather, "plasticine men". It interviewed some youths in the work force, who say that they really have no goal in life. They work for the sake of working and that they feel that there's no vibrancy to life. One guy even said he's become numb to life, and he feels that, he just gotta get used to it. That's all.
Wait, no, how can we just say that's all? THAT's all? "Hello, I'm numb to life, that's all.", isn't that just, really (I don't want to say it) pathetic? Plastercine, Pathetic, Pblehz. Then again, I was talking to some of my friends about it, and I (or maybe we) do also fall into this category. No? Yah, no goal, erm, or rather, no passion to hold on to.
I think it's unhealthy sometimes. And no, it's not just what I think. I think it's true. I mean, it's true! That's why reports have said that it's scientifically proven to have health benefits to support a sports team (heh, with like intense passion).
On another note, Reflection day is soon, y'knw. 4th reflection day in SN. Reflection day's just really mindblowing in SN. I don't even know how to put it in words. I guess, most girls end up in tears would be quite an apt description, no? Idk la, it's just some weird feeling, foreboding the reflection day. Tab and Xueshi told me that we must really continue to keep in touch after we graduate, and it's just, feels odd, to be graduating.
Oh yes, I just had to put this up.
"--Mel; Internal Guy. says:
Just praise.
ernest says:
thats the way
--Mel; Internal Guy. says:
ANYHOW PRAISE.
Eh, wait, i take that back.
just PRAISE with your heart, body and soul!
ernest says:
YOURE SO WONDERFUL
--Mel; Internal Guy. says:
HAHAHAHAHHA
ernest says:
OH THE SUNSHINE OF MY NIGHT SKY
THE ROLLING THUNDEROUS OCEAN WAVES ON THE SAHARA DESERT
OH MY CHERRY ON THE TOP OF MY SWENSENS TWO FOR ONE SUNDAE STUDENT MEAL
--Mel; Internal Guy. says:
HAHAHAHHAHA. YAY! This is awesome! :) (btw, I just ate swensens today, how apt)
Anyway, yes la, you may not believe it, but this is really awesomee. :) Thank you. HAHA, I feel less crap now. :)"
Heh, I just had to put this up. Getting people to praise you, is like, self praise without the adage "self praise is no praise" right? It brightened up my day, even though it was at night, even though I spent one entire day shopping at Orchard with Trish, Xueshi, Tab, Nienz, Huirou, Jan, Hsiaowei. :)
--Culture shock excerpt.--
Sister's friends from overseas came over today. Like, the girl (of the couple) was my sister's roommates when she was studying overseas. Was awesome to talk to them, it was really hilarious though.
Girl (Alice) introduces pork floss to her boyfriend, (Jared) And she said how my sister let her try some back then, and my sister chirps in, telling how she (Alice) actually spat it out.
Alice "It's disgusting! It's like candy floss. Only, pork."
Jared "Interesting!"
*so then my parents went to find some pork floss for him to try.
HAHAHA, AND Surprisingly, he liked it.
The apprehensive expression before he tried it (y;knw, whilst scrutinizing it) was worthless.
:)
BPL Liverpool vs Man U laterr (considering it's nearly one now).
It's like a time to feel elated and y'knw all high and happy, or the direct opposite, grouchy.
AHHH.

Felt an urge to post again! :) Okay, shall try to do this in a jiffy!
Anyway, posting some pictures in no particular order. :)
And like always, is this hols gonna be that horrendous cycle where it zooms by and you look back and say, Ohno and probably complete with expletives. :(
Nonetheless, yesterday was awesome fun! Tricia, Huirou, Esther, Mel, Janice, hsiaoWei, Sophia.
Haha, our initials spell THE MJ WS. And it's harder to get any better than that. It just felt so good to just play band hero and just talk, just take photos for like, the whole afternoon.
So good, so pleasurable, it felt. guilty. HAHA, if you know what I mean.
Yup, and I wonder what I will feel tmr, cause it's someone's wake. It feels, scary. Really. Like life is so fragile. And y'knw, her mom doesn't know. Cause everyone's afraid to tell her. Her mom is overseas, that's why. But that's still no reason why you shld keep it from her? I mean, I'm not for keeping, nor against.. But? IDKLA, that's just the easiest thing to say. :(
On another note, been going mad for the past few days. I'm having tremendous pressure build up in ears. It's horrible, i tell you. It's like, you know that "in ear" earpiece experience? Haha, where you can hear your breath and your own echo. Yes, I can hear my echo too when my ear has pressure built up. I'll go mad if this continues. :( That's probably why I came to blog. hahaha, cause I don't wanna talk to people and hear myself. I'm like living in my own world, yup, that's what it is. And been taking medicine for it, and surprisingly, it suddenly works, although it usually doesn't. :/ All this attributed from a viral attack. :( Sore throat and this..
And my sore throat scares everyone. HAHA, first time I sound so deeeeep. It was quite epic amusing how I scared my sister, cause she didn't know who was calling her. (She thought I was in school on Friday, but I didn't have to go to school).
But then again, this deep voice complements my inner guy. No? haha, yep, everyone now reckons I'm a guy within for several reasons. *winks Just now, someone said, "omg, even Mel is a guy name". Haha, win.
And no, not that I'm attracted to females. HAHA.
HAHAHA. This one, just speaks volume. :)
I like. *cheeky smile.
Screenshot from my phone. Haha! This is random, but there's a Spain high since Torres scored. I mean, 4-0. HAHA. :) And cesc and xabi on Twitter. :)
And this. Makes me look at ducks in a completely different way.
Aww, and this is an awesome shot. Do we look like we're a soccer team?
=)
"What's up with your leg fetish?!" -Huirou
I don't have a leg fetish! Oh-ohkay, maybe I do..
It's okay. I will stick to my guy-watch fetish with Es. HAHAHA
The odds, and high, low outcomes.

Overwhelmed with a sense of uncertainty.
A person just told me several days ago that despite the innocent face, I seem like a gambler, when I took a less popular question.
Two paths diverged in the forest, I took the one less travelled and that's all that makes the difference. -Robert frost.
So you mean, good difference or bad difference?
Gambling? Where can we go and calculate the odds in life? Yeah, a pocket odds-calculator? An apple app maybe! Lol-Sigh, but even the soccer odds weren't even the least bit accurate. See, portugal beat all odds and went for a AOS. Oh wait, with Paul's predictions aside. Haha.
Last week, form teacher was asking abt who was going to stay single (yah, cause we had a propaganda Singaporeans-shldn't-stay-single passage, haha). Those who really thought abt stating single didn't say.. Whereas Janice playfully mentioned my name softly.. When I dared her to "say louder" whilst glaring, she did. Pfft, anw, i wasn't given a chance to say anything before the class had this huge reaction (which i totally didn't expect). Many were laughing at how Mrs Lim was too, laughing and teasing me. Quote sherbs "I'll dig a hole and never come out if she teases me like that". >:/ Grr. Haha, that's not the point! Some, like es, was genuinely concerned, bombarding me with the huhhh, you can't be serious questions. I denied them of course, I mean, how can you plan to get married, or stay single? Look at Sumiko Tan and her example (if you know abt it). Oh, yah, and some girl told me that she's super afraid of some guy liking her, but she don't like that guy. Which brings me to my other thought, it brings me to my other thought, what are the odds of two people liking each other? I mean, it practically seems impossible to me, no? With that recent bit of news I heard, haha, it's gossip but, uhm it's trueee! Like a fact! (okay, scrape that, no way of justifying the gossip part huh..), despite being so stable, still can part ways..
I like this, writing out makes me sort my thoughts better :). Thought I'll put this as yet another draft, but on second thought, ah whatever, I'll post them. :)
Eh, wait, I realised I still don't have answers! Haha, ahya, but stuff like these don't even have answers, yes? Haha, the things we talk in sch abt don't really make sense.
School's strange. Everyone seems to be having certain highs and lows.
Crying at stairways sounds exaggerated? Not really. Cheering or being very sad just cause we found out today was a Physical Geography paper, and we studied or didn't study for that, is also not something of my imagination. Having three desk partners, wanqi, hsaiowei, janice singing during maths also seems like a norm.
Sometime they put into the air maybe? Inject this cheery mood into us, and at times when it wears off, or we're immune then we plunge, into certain lowness, or sleepyness.
Haha, done pouring out those bottomless questions I had. :)
Mental note: Get Lost Symbol. But no, Get after O Levels. Haha, then I'll have all of his books. :) but cannot, I plan to savour it after O Levels. Yeah, then, I'll savour. :)
Crawling reading Client. :( despite it being a good book! *hangs head in shame! *
The things that matter and the things that don't.

Don't even know why I'm here. No one's going read it anyway, but it's just as well.
You know, That feeling, That feeling you have, when you feel cheated of your, idk how to put it. It's like you told yourself it'll be okay, and you deceived yourself so well, you fell for it. or something.
That feeling, you know, like helplessness. I thought I couldn't use words to describe it, but I suddenly thought of one. It's like you, staring at the bar, but unable to do one more chin up.
Yes, I'll say it. I'm afraid.
I hope tml doesn't rain, so we can all indulge in a game of soccer. :)
I'm still not looking forward to learning journey. Hahah!

Reading my 10 diaplayed losts for the first time in many many months. I liked reading my past posts. And even though I know there's certainly no one to come and read this, I'll still post it.
I reminded me, I mean, the reading reminded me, of the reasons why I even keep a blog, I like that it allows me to look back and read what I felt at that point of time.
Then, now, it just seems like a sheer pity cause it's like there are no recent posts, no posts to allow me to revisits the recent times. It seems like there's a void, cause sometimes, things move so fast, I don't really remember what whiz by. No no, usually we just rush to wait, like how we wait for the weekends, and then we wait to rush. And now, many know what's happening. :( didn't tell, even close friends, how I had a feelin something like this will happen, and now it's happening, but kinda in another way.
But then.. Ah, I shld definitely stop my mindless natter.
I've heard people being real geared up and excited' for learning journey, haha, okay, shall keep an open mind and treat it like a treat?too, even though I haven't exactly had a "yay learning journey" moment of yet.
Too abrupt, short, queer for a title. (;

//Gone so long.
About the first time, I think I'll be away for even longer.
It just seems, too little time left.
On another note, I have a feeling that my computer gonna crash soon.
About one quarter of the hols has whizzed past.
Time.proceeds.
Yup, so long for now.
=)
just, have you ever wondered, which is worth it's weight in Gold?
Which is? How? What's the determinating factor. Where? So many questions. Where are the answers? When?
-cues awkward impasse.
Haha.
Labour Day?
Tuesday, May 04, 2010
5:42 PM
My phone has gone bonkers, in the sense that, it didn't save any of our 30 odd photos that Tricia, Janice and I took yesterday - sch holiday in lieu of Labour Day.
Does anyone even know why Labour day is celebrated? Sorta celebrated?
ANW, Though it sounds slightly odd, I'm really looking forward to motivational workshops!
Esther: "Actually, week seven! Wow, it's actually quite fast!"
Mel: "uh, yah, I guess, but we still have 5 more weeks to go."
Esther: "haha, 5? No laa.."
Mel: "Yes, we have two weeks of extended."
*ignites a whole grp of people discussing*
Ah, mixed feelings, don't you think?
It's May, and it's so *insert audible gasp* ! And I still can't do SS eSSays. !!
Yah, I probably sound incoherent, and blame it on my fried cells. Honestly, it is getting HOT. And there was no electricity so drink stall didn't sell cold bottled drinks.
Speaking of which, I prefer CAN milo > PACKET milo > CUP milo. But then it really bothers me when people drink from soda cans and leave all the excess drink / unidenified liquids, (ie, slobber?) all around the rim. Haha, ohhh.. enough said. Haha.
Swimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm time. :)
Dust dust and more dust.

I finally found the answer to my question.
Yes, what is with term 2 and sick right?
With my left neighbor, right neighbor doing renovations, and my house doing re-tileing, DUST is everywhere.
Dry cough's getting worst. Ugh.
Feel so bad. The last time I got a cold, Felly came down with a cold too. Now with dry cough and sore throat's, Felly's feeling throat-itchy. 00:
I think it's gone wrong.

When the feeling's gone.What do you do to find it back?
No, I mean, what can you do to find it back?
Okay, on a higher note;
-- Mel; zwitterion says:
Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
=)
FELICIA♥ says:
are you using a pick up line on me?
We should start over. Just like how I want to "walk by" again.
