Approximately 2 more weeks.

Approximately 2 more weeks till the start of O's, inclusive of the first thing, Science Practical. 

Up till now, my foundations on every subject still isn't strong enough to secure me a good grade. Been reading on more books to heighten my potentiality of vocab words, and also doing more practices for dnt & mathematics. 

Fortunately for me, my bro didn't throw away any of his secondary school mathematics practice books. 

Nicholas is out of his 3 weeks of hellhole army!~ Went to study & ice-skate to catch up and release stress. 

Ate ' Itacho Sushi ' @ Jcube for dinner. Totally worth it, the tuna salad was only $4.50 and the spicy tuna with beancurd sushi was only $1.20! ( Yupp I totally love tuna. ) there's a $0.40 sushi too. *eyesblingbling* 

My bro's forever photo-bombing. 

Disco night & it was kinda dizzy trying to skate with all the lights revolving around. 

If it's friends you're talking about, our relationship isn't just a mere normal friendship. To me, she's like a little sister whom I can count on any time, who I can't bear seeing her getting injured. ( like falling down when ice-skating ). Her efforts to try to make me push myself to study, and to focus on my Science too, everything stays in my brain even though I don't show it. Everything just feels better with her around. 

Good luck in army nic. Sorry for laughing, I was just overwhelmed. I'm sure you will see this because you're always so bored, so you read my blog. ;) 

Bedok Food Centre today with my parents. Awesome! 

Bro bought a laptop which is exactly the same as mine, mine is around 3 months old though. 

This Instagram account makes me feel so motivated to continue exercising even though it's so hard to get motivated. Move to achieve what you want, regardless being about a greatass body, or great grades, sitting around will not help you achieve what you yearn for. 

Goodbye. 

' A thousand years ' 

Books

Plan failed. Wanted to spend my afternoon doing some practice math papers but I couldn't resist going up on an application on my Tablet, ' Wattpad ', to read books. 

Believe it or not, despite not looking like one, I'm a bookworm since young. It all started when I was in primary school. One of my favourite kind of books were ' Mr Midnight ', ' Mr Mystery ' and those kind of short stories. I still remembered how I knocked into a wall while I was reading and walking home at the same time. I kept reading till my parents did not want to supply me with anymore books as they feel that I'm not setting my priorities right. However, I just can't stop myself from reading, the feeling of not wanting to put down a very good book, the feeling of wanting to quickly read it till the end to know about the outcomes. 

By the way, some recommendations for the readers out there. 

I was attracted to this book not because of the cover page, nor the prologue. It was the title of the book. Truthfully, I did not know what was the meaning of ' Geisha ' till I started reading the book. I was attracted to the name of it because of a game I played with this word ' Geisha ' in it. 

This is by forth one of the nicest and most engaging book I have ever read. It is about a tragedy of a beautiful woman who suffered all the way throughout her whole life till the end. It's a must read book! 

If any of you are not really crazy bookworms who are willing to spend money on buying books, you can download this app and download books which writers send in their writings in to... FOR FREE. Furthermore, many of the books are really good which really made me emotional. You can just read the info about the book and whether it's completed before downloading it. After downloading it you can just read it anytime without the need of Internet! 

This is definitely a must-read book. I re-read it around three times and I cried for all three times without fail. ( Yes I cry over books ) 

If you really want to read this book and you typed In the title of the book but cannot find it, you can type in the author's name. 

1st book. Truthfully I find this book engaging, but not as good as the one above. 

2nd book. This is the sequel of the first book. I cried reading this though. ( This book isn't completed yet though ) 

Give these books a chance, you definitely will not regret it or find it a waste of time. 

Went for some shopping therapy after the last paper for iAchieve. Studying with my girl tomorrow. 

Loots we got in around just an hour. Never ever allow us to have too much cash in our hands because it will not allow us to limit our own spending, and trust me, when we start our spree, it's so difficult to control. 

Nothing can be achieved with just a single snap of your fingers. You have to work hard for it, going through all the obstacles that comes in your way. The one that gives up first, loses. 

Sorry for the long boring post about books I'm just excited about sharing them with you all. 

Bye. ^(oo)^ 

Unpredictable.

Life is just so unpredictable. 

People usually don't cherish their own lives, or regret not cherishing someone till they are void of the chance of cherishing them anymore. 

So many incidents that makes me feel that life is really so fragile, makes me think that, am I living my life to the fullest? 

What am I even doing in my life, spending my days sleeping away. 

To a beloved teacher in our school, rest in peace, as you will forever stay in the hearts of your students. 

Feeling so scared right now. 

I swear I miss my fatty Liping. One of the people who don't judge me irregardless of the things I told her about me. 

Less then 3 weeks left. Good luck to everyone taking any major examinations, be it N's or O's. 😄 

Anyways, talking about more cheerful things. 

Nicholas talked to the whole class today. 

Besides asking us not to give up, he gave each of us motivating letters with sweets & chocolates inside. Feeling so blessed to be part of the class. 

Goodbye. 😄 

Late night thoughts.

At times like this when I have difficulties sleeping, many thoughts always constantly go through my mind. 

Coming to Secondary 5 was due to my own laziness. To be honest, I've never ever found coming to where I am now something depressing. Yes, it may had once impacted me greatly in the past, but it is thoroughly as though it is all fate. What if I had graduated last year? I never would have met some awesome friends that I find irreplaceable now. I never would be able to play in the volleyball competition for one more year. Some may find me dumb, to find it a blessing to be able to play for one more year. Little know me well enough to know what it is a sport that I had put in most of my efforts & time in. Sometimes, things like that are just a blessing in disguise. 

Spending another extra year to study, in exchange for a better grade, what's wrong with that? 

Sometimes in life, you have to lose something valuable, to gain something. 

I lost my opportunity to graduate from this...... Hellhole, but in return, I gained an irreplaceable and priceless friend that I will never ever want to lose. 

{Genuine smiles}

Been counting the worse case scenario of what I will get for my O's. But what if what I calculated, is still not the worse I can get? Being so pessimistic at night, so stressed up. Guess what? I'm still not studying like all the other people are. I'm still being a lazy bumpkin who just sleep all day & read storybooks & mangas. People's counting down the day to the first day of O's, while I'm counting down to the day when I will be freed. 

That is totally me. 

Alright start of iAchieve tomorrow. Goodnights. 

Fragile life.

Ego is a very big and profound word in the other way. 

It's something that ruins relationships because both parties do not want to admit that they are in the wrong. Will you rather admit you are wrong, or lose the person you love? 

Even if you admit that you are in the wrong, will you feel that in your heart, you're always right? Do you bear grudges? Most people do. All it takes is to forgive, but most people do not forget. 

Including me. Up till now, I bear so many grudges deep down in my heart, with so many unspoken words. 

Got this from Twitter. 

What will you do if one day, the person you love, leave this world? Will you never ever be able to move on, or move on because you know that the person wants you to be happy? 

People leaving my life as the years past,makes me feel that life is so short. When I was young, I always have nightmares of my grandma..... Yeah, I thought that human is immortal, that we will live forever, that only diseases will bring life away from the world. So I prayed everyday, that this will not infect any of us. As I grew older and realized that life & death is a natural thing, I felt so vulnerable. I still remember memories from 10 years ago, whereby my grandma will bring me to the nearby convenient shop to buy my Favourite mint mentos. What about now? It's my turn now to head down and purchase for her food, because she can barely walk long distances.. This is how frail life is. 

Treasure the ones you love because life is really very short. 

Her birthday just passed 5 days ago. How many more birthdays will I be able to spend with you? 

I'm the grandchild that she is most worried for. Every single blue blacks or abrasion that I get from volleyball, she will be the first to notice it, and ask about it. Always asking me to sit beside her so that I can tell her about my life, and to assure her that I'm perfectly fine. Many of my friends asked me when I want to get married, and my answer was, as early as possible. It wasn't because I want to settle down so quickly, it's because I want my grandma to be there to witness me getting married. Conversations will always be like ' Look forward to the time when I get married okay? I will be so pretty that you won't be able to recognize me ' ( in hokkien ) 

Your grandparents are the ones who care and love the most for you besides your parents or your siblings. So don't ever treat them like they are inexistent or don't ever dread having to visit them.  

Comfort zone.

O's coming nearer. Been blogging these past two days because I just realized that blogging makes me calmer and less stressed, because I'm able to freely say whatever I want on my own space. 

Someone told me today that he's been hearing me saying the same thing Over and over again, but I'm never ever actually showing actions. That's such a negative point about me. I'm forever doing things on the last minute, and always letting my laziness cower over me. This little engulfment constantly persuade me and controlled me, telling me that I have plenty of time left, when in actual fact, time is ticking away. 

Furthermore, I'm still in my comfort zone, enjoying life, without the slightest urge to study. MBS on Sunday, and I doubt I'm even attending school on Monday. 

The only comforting thing I can tell myself is that, at least I have a goal to work towards to. Some of us don't even have a goal on what to study and major in. Isn't it very torturous to be studying without a goal to work towards to? 

Ice-skate today. 

Even from this, life lessons are learnt. Ridiculous, I know, but it's true. 

For example, while skating, if you never ever try to let go of the sides, and skate, you won't ever succeed. Not getting out of the safe zone, being afraid to fall, you won't ever succeed in achieving what you want to do or learn. Falling is fine, but knowing how to stand up by yourself is another thing altogether. 

Using this analogy, if you never try, how will you be able to know whether you will succeed? If you never taste bitterness in life, how will you feel the accomplishment when you taste sweetness? 

Falling is fine, as long as you have some people beside you helping you along the way. 

The fact is that, by having someone beside you when skating, helps to overcome your fear of falling. Both of us were afraid of going fast, but having each other to help one another get up reassure us that we are not alone. 

Appreciate because you will never know what might happen the next day, or in the future. 

Obsession.

Around a month's time to O's, keep reminding myself that but I'm still not getting my ass off the comfort zone. Been having migraine for hours these few days though, guess it's just another excuse to start studying at a later period of time. 

Been getting obsessed over having a more well-build body nowadays. 

Cheryl's quotation; What's life without being able to eat the food that you yearn for?

My quotation; What's life without being able to wear the beautiful clothes that you yearn for? 

Thus, the conclusion we came up with was, a little indulgence in food is relevant in our lives, but controlling and trying to improve is much more of importance. Ever wanted to wear a beautiful dress, but your tummy is showing, that's why you did not purchase it? 

With perseverance & hardwork, comes progress & rewards. 

Endurance is the key to success, never ever tell yourself you cannot do it when you never once tried.I'm also someone who gives up easily on something I dislike. However, exercising really does reduces stress. Being able to run, and perspire, it's such a great and overwhelming feeling. 

Everyone has that facade that they put on, because they are so afraid to be vulnerable in front of someone. Who doesn't want to be thought of as strong? The feeling of being so helpless and weak in front of someone, just makes me feel so inferior and not worth a single shit. This causes every single one of us to put up strong walls around us, not letting anyone in. 

It isn't wrong to feel vulnerable and share your pain with someone at times though.

Maybe that someone that you found, does not mind you sharing your pain with them, because they just want to be there with you through thick and thin. 

Alright bye. 

Hope it helps anyone who does not have any motivation with anything they wanna do. 

Prediction.

O's in a months time and I'm still enjoying life. It just seem as though like I'm not scared, but in actual fact, I'm so afraid to fall. Afraid that spending 5 years in this

School will go to waste. I'm the kind of girl, with all talks, but no actions. Always claiming that I'm scared, but I'm always not trying harder, and thus, regretting in the end. 

During my trip to HongKong, I just realized how complacent I was. Singapore is such a developed country, with less worries. The only thing we usually worry about is money. Only knowing how to complain how expensive living in Singapore is, and not knowing how lucky we are. Some people in other parts of the world don't even have the ability to drink water frequently like us, much less, clean water. Since small, I'm always wasting water. What will happen if one day, Singapore is short of water? 

I did not change, I just stopped being the girl you wanted me to be. Don't expect someone to remain how he or she was like a year ago. 1 year ago, I don't even have the confidence to wear a skirt, nor a dress. 1 year ago, I cared less about my appearance, about how I was getting fatter, or gaining weight every single day from my constant bulging. 1 year ago, I rarely wear heels and wedges, preferring slippers as my footwear. However, isn't it normal to want to change for the better, to fit better into the society? I just stopped being the girl you wanted me to be, or expected me to be. 

 1 year ago, I never expected myself to be able to find someone I can confide to so freely, without any judgemental comments, someone who understood me the way I couldn't even understand myself. 

1 year ago, I never expected that I will gain friendship bonds from my bro's friends, or having my best friend being friends with them.

1 year ago, I never expected myself to become closer to the people who once had bad impressions of me. I just wanted to leave the school and get over with it, but I'm certain that I will miss my classmates when we all graduate. 

Life just can't be predicted, I never expected my life to be like that now 1 year ago, and I'm very sure 1 year later, things won't be the same anymore. Treasure whatever you have right now. 

26thJune13

So the June holidays are ending soon. And guess what? I haven't even started on a single homework! I took my holidays for granted. Ended up as though the holidays just started, but in actual fact, it's ending in 4 days. After this June holidays, I doubt we will have anymore holidays to enjoy till after our O'levels. But ohboy, these few months just went past me like a dream, or should I say, bad dream. I'm very glad I'm kinda happy right now. Those tears that fell for the past few months, I hope i won't be that dumb anymore. 

What's so wrong to wanna be happy? Trying to be happy and getting judged? It's like you never knew whose the one backstabbing you any moment. Judgmental people who do not know the whole situation and go judging me, do you know what I went through? Have you ever went through what I went through before? You are not me, and I appreciate it if you do not judge before knowing the whole story. So just because of your anonymous judging, I can't find the happiness that I want? No hard feelings or whatsoever, but will you like it if a random anonymous person come insulting you? No one is perfect. 

I'm glad I have friends who never judged much of me and whatever I do, they support me and encourage me. They don't mind my retarded character, how unglam I am, how much I can make a fool out of myself because I'm not ladylike and all. I can be myself whenever I'm with them. 

I may have hurt some of my friends along the way, especially to a certain someone, you know who you are. And I'm really sorry. No matter how many apologies I make, I doubt I can reverse whatever damage I had done to you. I mean it when I'm sorry. Thanks for helping me in all kinds of way, you know what I mean. You're truly a good friend. I still remembered how you were there for me, whenever I'm feeling sad, I knew who to approach. But those recent sadness I felt, I just don't wanna bother you with it. Because I know how guilty and useless you will feel, not being able to help me become happy and all. I'm sorry. Really sorry.

Just some random blogging I did since I did not blog for like 4 months or something?! Okay I know this post is boring, just ranting and all. Bye.
