MS QUEK IS MY ENGLISH TEACHER YAY I'M SO HAPPY I COULD CRY
And someone needs to get guitar stings HAHA and not oversleep and do lit. <3 tonight has been quite hilarious

An intellectual article about picking up girls

ARGH MY BRAIN MALFUNCTIONS WHENEVER I'M EXHAUSTED. I can't do lit now, brain cells busted. But at least I did physics, the sense of accomplishment, SO SWEET. anyway idk why but this morning when I was zombified, I kinda hit upon this question. (dont ask me how my brain works) ANYHOO, the question is, why do ppl visit bars/pubs? Well.

1) relaxed comfortable environment to chill. Well apparently so. Convenient and there's alcohol and unhealthy snacks that everyone adores.
But that's not my main speculation.

2) to pick up girls. Why do ppl go to pubs to pick up girls? Because under the neon lights and 3 shots of alcohol of some sort and almost psychedelic music the chances of picking a girl up would be higher? Well this brings me to my next question.
Are we merely looking for companion through the night or for the rest of our lives? Most of the time ppl are looking for a fling, casual, nth serious. No phone numbers exchanged, no names, just a face, and a blur memory. And these ppl sit around and complain about never finding the One, why so disheartened? Are they all disenchanted by 'love'? Would they honestly prefer a long string of no strings attached flings or a serious relationship? Of course, they may scream, 'commitment is scary' but if you're willing to take a leap of fath what is commitment really? Some ppl blame the world. Wrecked marriages, broken relationships.. yes it is terrifying. But it takes 2 hands to clap. You see only what you want to believe.
You see only what you want to believe.
Wow I am so deep really. HAHA so it all boils down, what do you believe?
Okaye my mind cells are gone.

To: SLs (past present future!)

So apparently I received a 'Hearts Award' from SLB. Actually uhh I think everyone received an award la haha. Hm I wonder if I'll become emotional during Invest this year. I actually feel kinda bad for not helping out for this year's Invest. Well. Anyway, this 'Hearts Award' are for those graduating batch of SLs who constantly care about the Board, which is kinda true la haha. But things are changing in every way. Keep up or lose out. So we'll just have to accept it. Embrace, rather. The last batch of SLs to graduate. Hmm. But SLB has indeed taught me much. Perhaps I don't feel as attached to SLB as compared to Choir but w/o SLB I'll prolly be this clueless little thingy. (maybe I still am HAH) Hm let's see. My greatest contribution, INVEST! with Des of course! GOSH I ACTUALLY CRIED OVER INVEST AND DREAMT OF IT AND WORRIED AND PANICKED DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH EFFORT I PLACED IN IT???????? but w/o my wonderful SLs it wouldn't have went so well! I must admit, IT WAS REALLY AWESOME HAHA. SLB gave me so many experiences, orientation(s), cheering(s), grad night(!), sleeping under the stars at the parade square........... Idk mann, but if you grab a bunch of ppl who may or may not know one another well and throw them into the same situation, they instantly connect and become family. I always felt like this with every committee I was involved in. Of course sometimes we stop talking and its awkward again but whenever we meet up, and recount our experiences 'ITS ALL COMING BAAAAAAACK TO MEEEEEEE' and its like we're family again. Gosh I sound so cheesy but its true. Right now I have completely NO cell of an idea what's going on in SLB but SLs! (or maybe not since our batch is the last batch of SLs to graduate) DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP! there comes a point when you start to loathe the tie, lament your responsibilities etc.. and you are SO CLOSE to quitting. DON'T. it isn't worthwhile. I almost quit SLB when I was in Sec 2. Completely lost my passion and didn't see a point in continuing. It will happen to almost everyone. But instead of running off into different directions and contemplate giving up, STICK TGT AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER. You won't regret, I promise. its just a phase! Guide your juniors (dont hate them) and talk to your seniors! Eat lunch with your batchmates! All these do matter. It's all about being bonded. Well, may the new EXCO soar and bring SLB and XMS further. Have faith in one another, don't be too serious and always persevere! All the best juniors! Enjoy your journey! <3

Okaye idk what I just did. No SL is gonna read this anyway but whatever mann HAHA

roooooots, before branches

Greetings lonely minds! I am recharged and renewed from Churchies! whoohoo! Had an enlightening time over there, so glad i could make it! So, we stopped by JPO on the way to Le Grandeur and the place looked very much like the outlets in Aussie. I went paintballing, (huge bruise on my arm so manly) and got shot in the face (thank God for the mask) and crashed rooms at night and performed The Only Exception with Belicia and IT WAS AWESOMEEEEEEE GOSH. i wished there was churchies every year!

there is STILL nothing like the church!

Never get used to lovelessness. Never get used to the lack of God's peace. Never get used to lack of God's word. Never get used to prayerlessness. Never get used to watchlessness. Never get used to thanklessness. Somehow at the end of 4 sermons these statements by Pastor Chris stuck with me. There's so much I've learnt from camp, Does it matter what you believe in? of course it does, it affects the way you think, how you behave, how you act etc. One thing i thought was EXTREMELY APT/CUTE/INTERESTING was JIMBY LOLOL it makes sense! Because Love will always make space for others. Always. So that's something that felt really relatable. No Christ, no church! And how faith is not subjective. Really glad I managed to make it for camp!
'So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing in thankfulness.' Colossions 2: 6-7

pray

Churchies tmr. gosh. Looking forward to be enlightened. Cya guys!

the planets bend between us

I am asking for it seriously. I know very well I can't attend Snow P's concert and YET I DOWNLOADED AN ALBUM WORTH OF SNOW P. HA HA guess who's gonna be so depressed? ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO STOKED FOR CHURCHIES GAHHHHH gonna read Colossians laterz! Never actually been to Msia before heh I alr packed! (amazing) but I'm still considering if I should take Danny along and my instax! GOSH WHY DON'T THEY HAVE 'ONCE' ON YOUTUBE I WANNA CATCH A BROADWAY PRODUCTION MY BONES ARE ITCHING TO DEVOUR EVERY LITTLE BIT OF BROADWAY. currently writing a story now! Gonna put it up here, well 2 more days! (or rather 1 plus?) CAN'T WAIT

Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran - "New York"

Beautiful eyelashes.

What does the line 'You broke another mirror' imply? Well I guess we see our reflection in a mirror and by breaking it you are expressing self loathe (or violent tendencies). What does self loathe stem from? Insecurity? Mostly I guess. Or perhaps cowardice. Which is one thing I am bounded with. Well I heard this from High and Dry by Radiohead. Such an emotional song. Anyway having a 2 week break from school now. Also 2 weeks to complete all my revision/homework. I'm thinking of bringing my work for church camp, if I don't manage to do my work imma slap myself and ban myself from Coldplay. And I JUST DID THE MOST RETARDED THING EVER. I rushed home from school after spa (which I messed up) for tuition and when I reached I realised that the lights weren't on so my dad called Eugene and ha ha THERE WAS NO TUITION. facepalm. And ytd I spent the whole day on English homework and didn't study all that much for chem spa and then guess what? English was due when school reopens GOSH. and when I met Ian at the busstop he also said it was due when school starts HAHA NO ONE IS AS RETARDED AS ME shall spent quality time with Amaths tonight! And finish a physics paper. And then tmr I shall do emath and yet another physics paper AND FINALLY SETTLE ON A SONG FOR CHURCHIES. yay!

Princess of China

The lit seminars were pretty enlightening. Being at the CBD areas are actually kinda cool and depressing. Gosh I'm so tired now I can't think straight and I still have physics tuition. Not surprise if my brain malfunctions later. Like whassit called? An atomic explosion that sucks itself in, crumbling into itself and finally bursting in all its glorious destruction. I exaggerate a lot, forgive me. But the comparison with the mind being a destructive weapon is accurate.
LOL hello I couldn't post this ytd anyway, I'm on my way to chem tuition, this is almost a repeat of Dec last year when I had tuition almost everyday. There are news of cannabalism everywhere it makes me wonder if ppl are able to realise if they're eating one of their own. I mean I think we prolly taste like chicken or smth. Humans don't look very appetizing eh? (no idea how to spell) desperate times call for desperate measures, still, I believe humans are way up higher than animals, we don't resort to killing one another and feasting on their flesh for survival. Gory. Gruesome. I'm kinda hungry now.... NAH I KID.

And in one tiny moment, it all implodes

This isn't everything you are.
I love love love Snow Patrol, and I'm still feeling blue about their concert. But I will find a way, everything will fall into place.
Kinda came up with a study plan, I'm starting to feel insecure if I don't study (i'm on my way to being a mugger, bless me) which I would like to think its a good thing haha. Not a 'want' anymore but a 'need'. Darn I wished I thought more about my future last year. I'm thinking of a 'Writing Scholarship' but Nahh, appears to be none. ENOUGH OF THE BORING STUFF.
Finally have more time to play with Danny! WHOO IMMA DO SMTH REALLY COOL AND I HOPE IT WORKS HAHA mind over matter, mind over matter! Does the genre of music you listen to, affect your character/mould your perception? Well you cannot say for sure but yes there will be some effects. Say if you listen to lotsa poetic songs etc. PATD/Snow Patrol/Radiohead/Indie music (certain songs)/80's-90's you're bound to be more poetic and tend to think more.
But that's just me AND BELICIA AND I ARE GONNA PERFORM FOR CHURCH CAMP HEH SO HONOURED. Leaving everything in God's hands. :) have a lovely week ahead, God bless!
