Happy Holidays

MERRY X'MAS EVERYONE! =)

Its the time of the year again, the time where two of the most major festive seasons come one after another in a matter of days. And the time where as we rejoice and have fun, we are lamenting for the past year that always doesn't seem to be well lived and where we always tell ourselves next year will be better and cross our fingers and hope for the best. A time whereby mixed emotions are a plenty and not necessarily bad cause every once in a while, some reflection is needed in order for us to continue in life. Just as they always say in chinese, 'To rest is to aid moving on further ahead'.

The sole reason why I'm bringing this post ahead and doing it now is just cause I'm leaving for Thailand in like 1 day time and by the time I come back, I would have missed the timing for this post. Anyway, its 6 more days till we bade 2010 goodbye be it we want to or not. To me, this year haven't been exactly what one would say eventful but I would say its insightful. 2010 has brought my thinking to a new level and exposed me to things I never saw and never knew allowing me to view things in a different light thereafter. A-levels though draining has allowed me know what I've been fighting for all this while and as I walk through this year in memory I realised I have matured much more than I expected. I guess that's why they always say time is the best teacher. But I supposed experience ain't too bad a teacher either for if we had not went through all the things we did, we might not have saw the light that time was trying to show us all along. And I suppose everything happened for a reason and I guess its just not about not whining and lamenting but knowing how to move on after all the grumblings.

Look back at year 2010 and see it as the last day of the year and what is it that you would really like to say to it. I don't know just cause there so much I would like to say but I'll have to say for sure that I never regret going through all the turbulence that we went through for ain't all routes in life filled with rocky and smooth paths all the same. Whoever say rocky paths will be hard to travel and smooth paths would be easy.

In advance,( cause I won't be in S'pore for new year) HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! =)

GOODBYE 2010& Thank you and not forgetting WELCOME 2011! =)

CSS 4/2 ' 08 Chalet 2010 - 20th to 21st Dec

I'm just gonna skip blogging about the 09A01 chalet for now and jump to something more recent which is the 4/2 chalet.

I don't really know why but somehow this 4/2 chalet this time around felt different, compared to the previous chalet we had, I somehow got the feeling that this one was more cosy, more lighthearted, more together and it just made me miss the days when we were together studying as a class all the more. It might just be me but I have a feeling that this time around, everyone who turned up has changed somehow and the period of time that we were apart from each other as a whole class has one way or another made a very remarkable change. Its just something beyond the superficial description of words but more of a warmer and cosier feeling deep down inside. All I can say is that this time around when leaving the chalet and saying all the goodbyes, I have a subtle feeling of emptiness inside as compared to the feeling of wanting to go home and just sleep.

Anyway this chalet though shorter than usual cos we checked out on the second night seriously is as much fun packed or ever more fun than any other chalet I have went to. BBQ in the first night, and the game of werewolf we locked ourselves in the small room playing was just as fabulous and happening as it can be, oh and yes not forgetting the X'mas gift exchange that we have as a tradition. Cycling in the dead middle of the night, trying to figure out just where to go next and whining about our butt aches, stopping by at Macs to eat and just sit around enjoying the dead silence in the night just enjoying each others' company, going to the playground to play on the swings relieving our childhood (and yes, a really embarrassing moment of mine in secondary school was dug up too) and more sitting around before going back to the chalet at like 5plus. Those who needed sleep just went flopping into the bed almost immediately but for those who bathed like me just sat outside sitting around talking and from the dark night to daylight, the transition got many secrets out and all the talk about life and relationships was just so much fun and yes it really got us to know each other better. I supposed everyone got a couple of hours of sleep before we all popped up at subway to have lunch and back to the chalet we went to yet more rounds of indian poker and werewolf which got more talking going one and its just all this simple things that really reignited the bond between us all. After which is the steamboat where everyone just sat around eating and talking again about the past and just about everything under the sun. Played Circle of Death next and no doubt it was a cool game but not something one would like to play everyday especially when the loser gets to 'savour' a custom made concoction of raw egg, chocolate biscuit and marshmallows. Well after that was just packing up and going home and time for spewing all the goodbyes and off we went on our own routes not knowing when but wishing I guess that our next time together will not be too long later.


To the class that was most fabulous once and will forever be, good luck to all the guys going into NS and all the best to the rest in whatever everyone will embark on next. Thank you all for the amazing 2 days we had and really just thank you guys for still being so fabulous. =)

disclaimer

I know I know I am seriously lagging behind in my blog posts about the recent happening so much so that I just done my Prom post and I am still halfway through my 09A01 chalet post. But I'm gonna stop here now cause I've gotta go prepare for the 4/2 chalet now. But I promise I will rush out all the posts and I'll post them all up here before I leave for my Thailand trip on the 26th. I might have to spent my sleeping time on it cause I have a dozen things undone. So yeah, I'll try to finish them up and post them ASAP so don't go thinking I'm crazy if I post like 3 or 4 ultra long post in a day. =) Till then!

Glam Up For Prom!

Yes I know I am like seriously late about this post and I not going to give any excuse but still here I am at long last about JJC Prom Night 2010! This is the night whereby the wacky members of class 09A01 dress up and glam up themselves much in contrast to the usually unglam us with the permanant sleepy look for most. So well, let the fun begin! =)


Taken in the lobby before we went into the ballroom, though we got chased a few times to move to the upper levels, we just stood and posed and got our cameras clicking away while waiting for those who haven't arrived.





Another of the many taken in the lobby, but this is just to prove that the guys in our class are as much camwhores as the girls are. Isn't it thats why we just love the class cause everyone guy or girl loves posing in front of the camera?




Oh and here's a picture with our ever so lovely and pretty GP teacher Ms Wen. She always seems irritated by our class guys constant chattering but still we all knows she loves us all. Stay pretty and lovely!





Proudly presenting our table! Forever whinning for food and polishing every crumble off in minutes and slouching back into our chairs and whinning for food again to repeat the cycle. Sounds bad? Thats just how 09A01 is and thats just why I love it!




ALMIGHTY 09A01! Not the full strength but still its all that went. A class where silence is seldom and peace never prevails, ever so warm and confortable in it, I proclaim the most fabulous class in the cohort. You may not agree but still I was taught I have the freedom of speech!



Just to show how bored we are we left the ballroom upteen times to visit the toilet and as proof here's the picture we took with the Prom King of the night on our way to the toilet. =)






How could one not love the class of people thats game for everything including taking pictures in the toilet on your prom night. Yes thats just so us! Spamming pictures away in the toilet while skipping all the programmes in the ballroom. God knows how long we stayed inside but still there just nothing much to do then putting your hands together to clap for us right?






Oh and why I showed this picture of vera and my hands, cause we are lame enough. I was just telling her how the chop on our hands looks like we were from some cult we just show our hands and made a low growling sound. Talk about great mind thinks alike? Yes thats the two of us!


Say if one asks me what I like about my class and why I love it so, I shall answer it here and now. Who can resist a class full of people who talks more than they listen in class? Love the way we always end up sitting in the same seats in class even though there was no specific seating arrangemet. Love the way we always sit together in the canteen and the whole table ends up having Yong Tau Fu for like forever, can't help but think its our class's favourite food. Love the way how we always run away in whichever direction possible when we spy Mdm Koh. Love how our class always floods the library on our many breaks without fail. Love how the girls can always sit around and end up chatting about practically anything under the sun. Love how we always cannot make up our minds and always have to stand around for like 30 mins before we next know where to proceed. Love how the guys always create a constant buzz at the back of the class. Love how the guys always gay together. Love how most people in the class looks tired and sleepy for the whole day except meal times and going home times. Love how we always try to pon everything but always ends up back there. Love that the class gave me a clique which i know i can always depend upon to brighten up my day. Love how although not shown there always seem to be a bond connecting the entire class. Love how every teacher will come into our class and say Art class are hard to teach and yes we haven't dissapoint them at all in this aspect I suppose. Love how the class guys though always looks gay (as in not happy) and nonchalant, they are actually sentimental and caring people. Love how the entire class looks bored and read in the assembly sessions. Love how we always kena scolded but still we can laugh through it all. Love the way we took pictures with our results slips just cause we got promoted. Love how we are always planning activities even before our papers end. Anyway this love list goes on and on and just so you know, 09A01 is the best thing that ever happened to me in my JC life. If I haven't gotten into this class I might not have had so much fun in this two years. So people of 09A01 listen up (or read here), YOU"LL BE GREATLY MISSED simply because we make up the Almighty 09A01!

Right one last picture for prom!

lazy lazy

I know there're a thousand and one things to blog about now that both prom and A01 chalet are over, BUT that's not what I'm trying to do now cos I am just super ultra lazy and the thought of having to pop over to facebook to get the pics and post it here and to write about it is just such a massive thing that I am super lazy and so I have decided to put off doing it till another day when my shoulder blades are not hurting that much.

Just to add on, super glad that A01 chalet was such a success and though Audrey;s birthday surprised was kinda a fail but still its the thought that counts. BBQing was fun and though the fire took super long to get started, we did it anyway thanks to kisnaa, gilbert, isaac and chia cheng and meijuan who were constantly poking around in the charcoal pile to keep up the fire. Oh and I did my part too to start the fire by building a "house" for the fire. Haha. Oh and before I end off this short post, I really wanna thank the guys who allowed me, Audrey and Brenda to take up their room and refused to wake us up cos they wanted to let us sleep in and ended up sleeping on the floor after their games, seriously that made me feel damm bad but still real thankful for their thoughtfulness. =)

Well shall end off and hopefully the next time I'm back, I'll be in the mood for the blogging of chalet and prom. =) Till then =)
