honest confession
Feb. 8th, 2009 | 04:18 am
Princess is:
uncomfortable
But i promised my 200% devotion as well as my 1000% optimism. Okay, so be it, you can see it in my blog. Right here? Its my court.
Not too sure if i am wasting your time by holding us together still. Sometimes it feels quite pointless because it feels one-sided. Am i selfish to say this? I don't wanna hold you back if you're not happy with me or if you cannot see our future. I'd let you go if i truly love you, so you can be in pursuit of your true happiness with another girl a million times better than me and i trust that it wouldn't be difficult since i failed as your gf anyway. I love you, but i am holding you back, is that being selfish?
I don't wanna be a saint, i just want to love you wholeheartedly and be treated likewise. I am not even asking for sacrifices like how i demanded you to. I changed for you, i put in words and action and showed the whole world how much you mean to me and these things were awkward for me. These gestures don't matter do they? You'd just scan through and nod in approval, you don't even bother finding out what happened in my life. You only check to see how much i've written about you and how much "love" i have penned down for you. See honey, its still all about you. You only get to book out on weekends, and its really short: 1 day max? and so what if you called for 5 mins a day. We talk about what happened to you in camp everyday, and i'd try to add in some of my input but i'll go back to you, worrying that you'd be bored of hearing me share my life. And you agreed to being bored when i added: okay i think i shall stop here before you get bored of my life story... and you said: yeah haha. Wow. You so cared about me and my stupid life.
I hope you'll never ever stumble upon this because you'd think i am pessimistic and whatnot and make this an excuse for our breakup because "we don't complement each other". Thats why i never talked about unhappy things or shared any negative emotions on my blog. But sometimes i just need someone to talk to for real and be cared for like a person. Maybe i am attention-seeking, i don't know, but i know it stems from being excluded from your life. Like i would always give in to you and do certain things like going around the whole of singapore just to find you muah chee and wait up till 1+ am just to make sure y. These small sacrifices mean nothing to me, i could do them all day long so long as you encourage me. Guess you haven't noticed how hard i have tried just to salvage our ruins.
And today, i looked forward to meeting you and spending more time with you despite only sleeping 2-3 hours a day over the past whole week. I was freaking tired and i was definitely ill, but i never make these excuses to not see you or meet you or accompany you till wee hours. You had your rest - ample rest i would say, but you fell asleep like usual anyway. I didn't mind waiting for you to wake up to send me home since you insisted that i shouldn't be taking a cab even when i swore i would be safe and all. Yeah baby, i was waiting for you to wake up. But your dad had to send me home and you agreed so readily without thinking how i didn't want this to happen. I don't want to trouble your dad to send me home not cos its awkward but its just...not right. It feels weird. It feels even weirder when you promised and made me wait for you just cos you didn't want me to take a cab, and then moved on to not sending me back the next moment. I know its no big deal, and when i see you in church later, i'd pretend i was fine and shrug this incident off.
I'm doing this because i don't want you to think i am unreasonable and a lousier gf than the lousy gf you said i was. I love you this much to deceive myself and hide this hurt and unhappiness within me, hoping that perhaps one day everything would be good like how we started out. But you know what? I think this could perhaps be a lie, the biggest lie i've ever told myself. I can just easily imagine one day a girl would come along all optimistic and cheery and she'd take you away from me. And what would you do? You'd ease this process by pushing me away claiming you had stopped liking me since last year. It sounds so real but i never mentioned it because i am a coward. A big freaking coward who is afraid of losing you. When issues come my way, i'd deal with it. Not this when i cannot even face it straight in the face. I admit i am weak when it comes to deciding what to do with you. I just have no idea anymore.
I feel quite directionless and perhaps helpless in a way. You had never given me the security and assurance i need, and not just me - its what every girl requires in any relationship. Perhaps you really expect me to be independent? And i am not too sure if i am performing well these days. No matter the answer, i tried my best. I won't give up because i want to make you realize that we are both facing the same direction instead of facing each other. I'd give it another shot.
I don't ever wanna lose you because that would mean losing a part of me. Please don't make me give up. ily.

2009.
Jan. 24th, 2009 | 06:11 pm
Princess is:
hopeful
Which means more personal space/privacy/whateveryoucallit on livejournal, something i desire :]
So 2009 bids a fairly interesting year, not because its gonna be smooth sailing nor i expect it to be. Turbulence has been met since Christmas and did not cease till recently. You can say i am superstitious but i definitely believe in starting a new year well. But guess what, this new year was crap. If being superstitious sucks, yeah baby i can't agree more.
Then so much happened, the emotional struggles and countless breaking downs i managed to pick myself up and stay strong. Its cliche but when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I really don't know what got me going - a little faith? a little hope? a little love? or a very determined character? Whatever it is, it pulled me through.
Its definitely not fair that life has posed so many challenges to me thus far, and gut feeling says there's gotta be more. Sometimes thinking back i just find it so silly, wave after wave i just try to ride on them but i can't be riding waves all my life. Sometimes i just want to give up and let the wave devour me. I don't know but this is possibly the most negative thought i'd allow myself to entertain. Maybe this is what livejournal can be for, the honest reflection of everyday life instead of happy mindless rants on what has been and what is and what will be.
Still, i witnessed a change in me. I definitely became more positive in my outlook and more determined in general. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger, just like a weed - as long as my roots are in, the wind ain't gonna bring me down. It just makes me feel so happy and comforted that i've finally learnt to be more independent. After all these while where i just run around and keep afloat with a false belief in myself. Nah ah, now its real. I have finally seen the real me. I think school deludes people xD when there are too many assignments or whatnot clouding your development, your growth is stunted. Now that i am exposed to work and society and more personal boundaries, i feel that i can. Its not about what is or what will be, but what i want. Believing is seeing people :)
That's all for now. I end my note with a happy cheer~ ^_____^

blah
Results:
English - 6
Geography - 6
Chinese - 7
Math - 4
Physics - 3
Business and Management - 5
Total = 31
Its not cool when your SLs pwn your HLs big time. Physics suxors. I studied for it instead of Biz and Geog but the amount of effort put in is definitely not proportionate to the grades. Holy.
TOK and SL2 periods = free period. That explains teh break. But not anymore cos Kenneth Seah is taking up the TOK slot on Friday and etc. Bah. But i think i need the help anyway. And i finally handed in world lit! Good riddance.
Was supposed to attend Sean's party but i forgot i had Magic Box! I told Sean in the morning i had something on. Well. Apparently they tried to call me many times during the concert. Its either Samsung or Singtel sucks because i smsed Sean to say i won't be able to make it, but i think he didn't receive it. Or maybe i just got the wrong number? Feel so bad :( Hope they are not mad at me or something. Its too uncool i have my fair share of bad day - like everyday. Magic Box was however, cool. The tricks and illusions were quite amazing (: And its even better knowing that you are there because someone loves you. Qiang's parents bought the pricey tickets for me to go with him ^^ It was a great experience. Had to go home without dinner cos i wasn't really hungry after 11++ and i had to rush home before my mum gets all bitchy and mum-like. Sigh. Sometimes i wish she would see me as an 18 year old girl, not 1.8.
Anyway so today i met D-runway girl to get my miniskirt <3 its too cute! And now i am here mugging away >.< amending Geog IA and completing the CAS shit. I want to go skating, go window shopping, go hang out, drink starbucks, head out to study...

Madam went through my world lit ♥ omg i absolutely like her dedication to help. Was really touched when she went through line by line albeit her busy schedule and gave awesome pointers on where to improve and such! Hopefully i can do a good job out of it and pacakge it after my final draft (: *grins*
I was waiting with Sarah at the roundabout when Bryan's friend asked if i was from APrime. Well i couldn't really recognize him but i do have some vague impression. There were three/four? ACSians in my physics tuition. I recognize him as the chinese. I didn't think Bryan was Chinese then :/ am i doofus like Qiang said? T___T fine. whatever. So i was just amused at how small the world is and how brains are real powderful thingies, wish i'd brought some to school maybe then i wouldn't fail. And now i remember he's Mark or something :D so cool huh. Sarah said that was the dead-est "yeah" i've managed in the 1/3 of my life she's known me for. Um. Well. I wished i was more sociable :) and make more new friends. No harm knowing more people too. Should shake this nonchalance and think i'm queen - eh no, i think im princess :p
No way. Anyway i'm just really fascinated by this whole let's be social thing. As i've mentioned a few posts back, i will stop being dao though i just naturally am and learn to appreciate people! Which i did (: I remembered koozin Min's birthday and bought her a present ^^ I talked to long lost friend Rebec ^^ and so much more. Cos these people mattered to me and will continue to matter to me as long as our paths interwine. So this is a post of triumph - and also a post of reminder of "Tricia's notdao project". Yay xD
Dear notdao Tricia, its cool you invited the whole gang for shopping on Friday. Even if that means you unintentionally exposed your intentions of ponning school - just to skate and shop! What a bimbo you've become. tsk tsk. But i declare this a triumph because you have stopped living in your bubble. And you want to get to know Lucy better because she seems kind of depressed. I think you can help cheer her up (: Ganbatte! And getting to know Gen better is also a step from bursting your own dumb bubble. She's so nice you cannot, in any way, not like her. And Sarah has always been your bff and the Sarix [Sarah and Trix] spirit will always live in you! And Qiang who has always been the sweetest guy you've met. And so be nice (: be accomodating and treat every soul with a genuine heart. Thanks for being natural till now, notdao Tricia. Pwn me.
xoxo

Baggages minus the holiday
Jul. 8th, 2008 | 07:52 pm
Princess is:
cheerful
2) the emotional baggage
but 3) seeking an escape...
Is it true that bad things really come in twos? or threes for that matter? Anyway so recently i've been injured at my knees quite badly. Pictures are in my blog cos LJ requires photobucket (which i signed up under 123797369873981 usernames but forgot all of them).
So because of my injury, i grow to resist skating a bit. It feels the same when i last fell down real bad and hated waltz jump ever - until Jonn led me out of this fear recently. I think i am kind of timid. Hmm. So anyway, i just don't want to skate and want to recover fully. It still feels kinda weak standing on it - not to say try landing >.< So. I think i deserve a break from it till this Saturday or sth. By then i hope i can say bye bye to coward Tricia.
And secondly i think i am gonna fail common tests and see Drong and be happy. No, kinda scary. But it serves as a good motivation for IB. Like uh...it works that way always doesn't it.. fail the unimportant and pwn the important. Happened all my life for everything and most evidently Olevels.
And yes (: I am indulging in retail therapy. Because its much healthier than food therapy [but not for the piggybank], and you gain more [you can keep it for longer than your bowel can hold x 1234 times]. Can't wait to pon school on Friday to skate with Sarah and then meet Gen to shop together! We're all gonna take neoprints together ♥ which is awesome because i've never taken with Gen before. Heehee. And of course my glamorous girlfriend never fails to make me giggle with her weird poses :p which are kinda bimbotic but kawaii! And i made a list and set a budget of 300 [haha rupee]. So i can shop to my heart's delight, finally! No more window shopping for Tricia! I need to pamper myself before the next blow - Monday's results :( So yes!!
Let's go my dear Super Shoppers!

On tEh stereo: Hanson- Mmmbop
I feel so fat. Need to jian fei. Haha. Not happening when all i have been doing is sit in front of my desk and a) watch videos b) internet c) study! My gosh so no life >.<
But tmr is the last day! Hoho. Last day of Julie-wanna be- Tricia and fat unhealthy pig Tricia XD Gonna do so freaking badly for common tests but whatever. Its only common tests.
I've been kinda cheery for some reason. Probably the distancing from my ole affected insecure self. I like learning this confidence again (: because you don't get hurt when you don't care.
I wanna go shopping! And next week is 4/1's gathering dinner <3 I can't wait to see them again. Honestly i never cared about such gatherings cos people don't matter don't matter to me. But recently i have learnt to cherish the people around me. I hung out with Gen before assembly today, joined the we-temporarily-fail-math club XD, hung out with Victoria before and after papers because we take almost the same subjects...and i realize actually i do miss the 4/1 girls (: Thats why i made an effort to agree to the meeting! SzeChing was kinda surprised and it heartens me to see her eagerness..
Also I never really cared about people who walks in and out of my life - but its different now. I never thought i'd care about people from my LWS class but i miss a few of them in a way? I miss just fooling around in class, even though thats just about it. And i made an effort to get to know Xiao Ran better. She's like a sister figure to me and its really awesome (: She's real sweet and nice and sometimes similar. Sometimes i see myself in her thoughts...perhaps thats why i find it easy to approach her.
And people like Alvin, Soon and MLYJ, you guys are friends whom i really care about. Not because Alvin gives us free entries to Kallang :p but also cos he is an elder brother figure. Though he seems like he is from a different world from us, i believe real friendship surpasses all superficiality. I am friends with whom i feel are genuinely nice and do not piss me off all the time. And Soon because of his rantings of music and songs and instruments. Its kinda cool because he accepts whatever trash i feed him :p whether or not he likes it. ahahahaha. *BROKEN ROSE!!* Lastly, though MLYJ has already walked out of my life, i remember how we used to be able to click. Was kinda mean to him i guess but. It doesn't mean he didn't matter.
And most importantly, honey <3 Sometimes i just want to stab him to pieces and eat him up but he has changed a lot for me. He became more sensitive and self-sacrificing? Though sometimes i feel we're only about "habit" and being used to having each other around, i think its not exactly a bad thing. At least i know when i need you, you will be there for me ^^ He makes me laugh so <333 love!!
Sarah my favouritest girl in the whole wide world who is just too awesome. Met up quite a lot during the holidays and i like it. It feels so familiar once again. I can't wait to go shopping (yay!) and playing and cloud-bathing and bikini shopping and island exploring and camwhoring with this girl!! My best friend forever and ever and ever amen (:
I miss going to KBox. Let's go Sarakpok! Bring Gen along because she hasn't been there before :o

About being happy

happy
On tEh stereo: Anyone else but you
I hadn't slept well for a long time, but i did yesterday. Either the alcohol did wonders or my heart has finally settled down. I promised to wake up happy, and i did. I don't get unnecessarily insecure and it was strange how i woke up alone but yet i don't feel alone. I'd skip lunch but i'm going to buy lunch for myself later. I've grown to realize life is really not a fairytale. I must learn to be independent (: i'd be happier this way.
Math tomorrow xD

I woke up early to accompany Mummy down to Yamaha for PTMI with Livia's music teacher. I finally found out why my listening/audio skills is so damn powderful but my sight-seeing started out real cmi. Its because. Because i am from Yamaha! The wonders of growing up with japanese style teaching <33 Salute!
Okay so after that we ate at Macs (bleagh no more mac breakfast for tricia in a few days) and went home. I napped for 45mins before heading out to meet Vic at Orchard. It turned out that i was late for err half hour cos of the rain and she was later because of traffic congestion. I secured a powerpoint - no in fact i stole it with my pitiful look XD I was just looking around for one when this buff macho malay/indian/very dark chinese sportsman (i figured he rows some kinda boat cos there's this paddle beside his table) said i could have it and moved in search for another one. Not bad, his actions came in time to save my impression of menkind. So Tricia offered her megawatt smile and thanked him nicely + sweetly before settling very comfortably at the couch. Vic came in awhile and we started studying. We talked for a bit - for most of the time actually before her bf came around. It was about time for me to go anyway so i headed off and took 16 down to kallang.
Wee asked if i wanna have dinner with him and Alvin but nah i was real full from the dark mocha frappucino XD I gotta be - it costed me $7 odd dollars. Anyhow i really wished Sarah was there cos skating is just too boring without my kaki. I only went there because i would be away for so long and no chance of any lesson before exams end >.< suxors. I hate holidays because it encourages procrastination. BAH. So i went down and it was quite crowded. I didn't really care and did warm ups and tried spinning but the ice was too terrible so my spins weren't cool. I tried toe loop many many times and i got it (: awesome!! And did salchow and many waltz jumps. It was a jumping + footwork session. Did no spinning baby ;) i finally got out of the comfort zone. Anyway i tried to call Sarah at least 6 times but she didn't pick up :( Hey girl too busy shifting house? Thought you could relax and come skating with me T__T my last skating session for the rest of the hols. pfft.
WISHLIST: I WANT A CAMERA! and moneh! i'll save and give myself that for birthday present :D

infuriated
Today's a real bad day. I try to believe God has a plan but wth is it? Anyway. So i finally met Vicente to pass him his super delayed present (: I wanted to study while i wait for Qiang to end his tennis but his tennis did not happen, so i had to pack up and walk all the way to the bus stop to meet him - but he's not there. Bah. I was quite annoyed because firstly i just settled down and secondly my plan to chill at starbucks was thwarted and thirdly its just not very exciting to imagine a whiny unappreciative and not very happy him. But i guess he has all the right in the world to be angry at the weather...i would too i guess. So after much disagreement and much discontent, i went to meet him still. Since i was supposed to play "good girlfriend" aka "miss nice" i will put up with it till the very end (: it has been a pretty nice role to play except sometimes "miss princess" gets in the way and wants everything done her way. Okay so today was Miss Nice 1:0 Miss Princess.
So he got on 169 and we went to his place for him to drop his stuff - which he did not cos Miss Nice agreed to play tennis with him. Hmm. Bad choice because i had and have such a huge problem with balls in general ever since i was hit by that darn soccerball right on the head in Pri 2. It was so bad i didn't even have to wait a second before tears poured out and i fell to the floor. From then on i became ballaphobic (or whatever you call it). So i knew i was being too ambitious and brave (and way too nice) when i agreed to playing tennis. I haven't even tried it in my life!!
So we went to OCC to have dinner (probably the best part of my whole of today) and headed to play pool. Pool is okay because the balls don't fly they just roll around happily. Yes. That i don't mind. Then it was doom's time >.< I could hit no balls and i know its not the correct method but really who gives when it actually goes across the effing net, like finally! I could not swing with one arm so i needed to use the strength of both arms. It was hell. Never a moment did i enjoy the game - it was too stressful trying to gauge the ball so i could a) attempt to hit it back b) attempt to even hit it c) reach it and d) protect myself from the ball. My self defence mechanism usually overfunctions in situations like these and thus its always d. I am just too too afraid of balls. Anyway i guess it started out fun because it was something new and i was actually not very worn out but slowly my determination wore off and my arm was aching like nuts. That took the fun factor out of tennis. It requires so much strength only buffaloes can play it. I admit im a weak female if you want to put it that way. I prefer graceful sports like figure skating where you don't run around catching balls like looneys.
I guess at the end of the day i am a sore loser and i admit it. I don't like sports i am not good at. But its his sport - his favourite one i guess. So cos i am supposed to play Miss Nice, i will try to be better at it. Overcome the fear and pump my determination to the max. I'll try to be good at both skating and tennis - i try. Haha. Now i can laugh - i just couldn't just now when i was so crushed and defeated :( I need a coach :) someone really patient with a really really BIG heart who can really guide my arms (which don't go with my brains or eyes or legs) and teach me like a kid XD I need so much encouragement its unimagineable. Double bah. But no he is not not nice to me and he was rather encouraging.
So feeling dejected and super like some idiot, i took the shuttle bus back to NP with him. He didn't send me home so he took bus 169 home whilst tortured demented Tricia took the train home. It was so tough trying to carry everything on the left side while trying to balance out the weight with my right side. I sound like i am soliciting for charity XD But nah, its just a very genuine and frank expression of my thoughts and experience. Sigh.
Tomorrow will be better (^.^)v
Because i am going wake up early to do some work, then go for tuition like a good student, then study some more at NLB and maybe meet panda and kiwi for break and then meet Qiang for MORE GRUELING TENNIS SESSION at night. Think i'll relax a bit by swimming tomorrow and hmm oh i need to submit my skating form soon. Yep.
Tomorrow MUST be better (".)v

Eeek. LJ just deleted my whole entry but no i will not give in. Hoho.
Met Sarah every day, almost, to practice in preparation for our big day. It all turned out pretty good, especially Wednesday because we had the entire rink to ourselves! Cos its after ice time, and we had a chance to experience an empty rink or we will "get a shock", says sarah. Which is true. I guess i would cos we are already so used to dodging the crowd. We shopped on Friday for our attire <33 Finally! It has been so long since i last went shopping because of the two most typical factors - no money no time. Bah. Kinda sad. But it feels awesome, finally, to be able to shop with someone who loves shopping as much. Love!
All in all, this week was like a fairytale. I had fun with the two most important people in my life - Sarah and Qiang. I really learnt to appreciate them in different ways and i hope i can maintain this balance between them. Thanks for everything <33

depressed
I have to redo TOK though it was cross-marked once and given a 31. Why T____T and worst of all i don't even know how to improve on it.
Next, i keep having recurring dreams of suicide, though i do not (need i stress more) wish to attempt one. Its just scary, how everytime i fall asleep i wake up feeling scared and helpless, and scared, and more hopeless. The feeling is quite scary, but rather gratifying cos i can commit suicide without really being dead - and still experience it. Hmm. Coolio.
I think i am stressed. With EETOKBIZIAGEOGIAWORLDLITIOCCOMMONTESTS how in the world can wonderwoman do everything at one go? I change my identity - i be superwoman. Sounds more efficient.
I think i am stupid. Really. I do not particularly enjoy dissing myself but it came to a point where i have to admit it is so :( unfortunately. No matter how i study - its just like that. Maybe its time to pray. I guess the thing about God and religion is different for me - in the sense like i do not love, i respect. I do not fear, i embrace. I guess its just really difficult for me to picture this great noble man dying on the cross and giving us instructions in the bible so we could please him, without really witnessing the whole truth. And weep/tear because i am touched by His love. Like hmm. Maybe not. I have more respect than love for Him because i know He is a good man who tries to advocate good deeds and peace. Of which i totally agree. And if He is a divine being then i suppose he deserves our respect - cos fairytales say only the good thrives and since He thrived i believe He will do us no harm. At this point in time, i still think a big grown up man tearing over a few words is just quite beyond my compehension. Why don't you tear and be touched by the same intangible things around you? The actions of love humans around you show to you? Why only towards a divine being whose love is based entirely on your perception? Perhaps one day i will find the reason why. But for now, i'll learn to appreciate people around me and their acts of kindness first. Because whatever they do, they are inspired by their positive-seeking moral compass. And i am sure He who loves us all will approve of the betterment of mankind. And being magnanimous like the bible claims Him to be, i am sure He can understand our doings as little people with our own minds.
Anyhow, i still haven't solved my issue. Who to save me?

On tEh stereo: True to your heart - Mulan
Learnt more of our routine yesterday and did one perfect routine. Hmm. One. But its ok we'll be better with the music (: Our competition program is to the song True to your heart in Mulan <3 Kinda fast and up-beaty though XD Which means a lot of speed, precision and confidence. Bah.
So Qiang and i met for dinner near my place and he sent me home (: It was around 9 when he left and i went on msn. Its been so long. And listened to our skating music repeatedly. Slept late, and hence woke up late. So bad Tricia skipped school today XD Did the housing presentation and forwarded it to Saachi and Vic cos my class has to be down for the dumb softball match on Friday at 930 -.- That means i have to travel back to JE for skating. But its ok, think we have time either that or i'll leave the match on time for lesson <33 can't wait to practice our routine with music!
I am starting to feel more confident of our routine and having lots of fun now! Its kinda cool i guess, the music is the sort that i like - drum beats accompanying a cheery tune <33 pumps our adrenaline. And i think we definitely can perfect it with music and more practice - of which we are commiting ourselves to. Having lessons and practice sessions thrice a week amidst our busy schedule is rather...amazing. Personally, i've never imagined i'd give that much to skating. But i am enjoying every moment of it <33 And i look forward to tomorrow!!
Ok. I am done. G'day.

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky

Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!
Totally true (: Sometimes i wonder why i try, and try so hard. And yet when i realize when i am trying to be someone else, i do not stop at there. Deep down in there i love to be the me in front of Sar and Gen. So at ease, even lemons can be lemonade! Thanks people who never tried to change who i am inside. This is love <33
And people who change, sometimes i just like the old You so much more. You know, how t'was so different and relaxed, without the pretenses. Sometimes things fade away, but can we wish for a rainbow?

This is perhaps one of the most random post ever but life has been pretty cool (:
Anyhow it started with having a lot of tests, of which usually don't deserve any positive emotions/comments. But this time it seemed different, i kinda felt like i tried my best (and genuinely for the first time), and i am still going to embrace the result, regardless the grade. The only test i felt was badly done was probably business, but i am relieved cos i know it is not because i have not studied enough, but rather the fact my time management is poor and could not finish the question. T'was a lesson learnt, at least (: Anyhow geog was pretty good for last minute mugging. And English was just kind of ... lucky? I don't know, i just felt good about it, though that doesn't warrant a good outcome. But at least i felt good about it - the present is all that matters. Then there's Maths and Physics which of course i am going to try hard for, but my confidence level just kinda dwindled to the valley cos its just so impossibly tough T__T
Before i start sounding like a *ahem* we-know-who, the next happy thing is Sarah's birthday <33 Omg it was so awesome because i finally got her the BIG balloon! I was pretty damn proud of it, and Gen and Lucy chipped in because they thought it was a great idea! And Gen was so sweet she sent me the stuff for the other present, which is taking its own sweet time at its home and pissing me off now. T__T super unreliable item. But anyhow, it will come soon! Gen and i thought the girl'll love it so thanks Gen <33
We went to Swensen's to get Sarah her firehouse happy birthday! And we just sat and bonded over food and water <3 it felt so relaxed and awesome. I really love them girls cos they are just SO genuine and dependable, 24/7.
Today i went over to Qiang's at first to head out to eat fried wanton but that lazy boy ended up playing GTA and watching comedy night replay and soccer highlights. His Mum made Mwa Chee <33 how awesome you know! I was helping out and his mum is too nice to be true XD And i planned something for something special, and yes i am pretty damn proud of this too.
And finally Sarah and i headed a skating interest group, like finally darlings! I have no idea why for, but take it as interest and charity to those who need CAS. I am pretty excited to teach them and omg the most surprising thing is that the turnout rate was beyond what we expected. How we gonna teach 20 people at one go? Hola. *pats Sarah and Tricia on the back for being so ambitiious* I hope everything works out well.
YAY <3

two-sided coin

disappointed
Anyhow, Sir saw me and he was concerned as well. I used to wanna voodoo him but on second thoughts, i don't hate him. In fact he seems to be pretty fine and the happy nut i wanna emulate.
At the end of the day, i guess its really true that there are two sides to a coin: the appearance and the reality, the genuine and the sub-genuine nature, the good and the bad and most importantly the happy and the sad.

Anyhow many things have changed since the last time i updated. Let me see.
a) I now take individual lessons.
b) We're finally taking part in competition <33 bestest decision ever with my bestest friend.
c) I am actually productive. like moving on from making the list to completing the list.
d) I think tennis might be fun?
e) School is not cool. But it isn't not not cool either. It's just ok ~ more to the happy end.
f) LWS class is so cute <33 We have a concert next Sunday!
g) I finally decided to ditch Physics for Geog. Hopefully the senior admin will approve of the appeal *please please please*
... and so on and so forth.
Either ways, i made it a point to remind myself to wake up from the right side of the bed every morning so it puts me in a positive mood. And IB is

I wonder if...
Feb. 13th, 2008 | 07:48 pm
Princess is:
blah
i would have benefited much more if i didn't play my life away last year.
i would have been much smarter if i actually read my plays.
i would have gained enlightenment if i read Siddhartha many times over.
i would have passed physics if i stop stoning in classes.
i would have a social life if i spend recess studying instead of bonding.
i would actually rip myself from my beloved social life.
i would actually get down to the books.
i would celebrate if i had completed my EE. and TOK. and World lit. and IAs.
i would be happier if i weren't in IB.
i would finally understand the definition of mugger.
i would also finally understand the phrase "I think therefore I B". Lol.
i would benefit much more by not wondering so much more.
therefore i stop wondering. because life goes on with this busy schedule. cheers.
( My work pile )

My bag of happiness lies in my perspectiv (:

Things have finally settled - from TOK essay to EE topic to various IAs.. only lacking in TOK Oral Presentation (which i am so not going to bother myself with cos its doomed an awesome grade of F) and world lit topic.
Anyway Dharma's lessons have been real interesting. She kinda diverts from the subject and rambles on on her very interesting stories - which of course beats Siddhartha in countless ways. Just last Thursday on this 1h20m lesson, she was talking about the coming of age of Siddhartha and ended up musing over the fact how perspectives change over time. I have to agree with her that love and pain is universal.
"The love i feel when i set my eyes on my firstborn is just the same as my husband's", and so is true for every other firstparents right? She was relating to us a story of her close friend (a guy) who broke up with his girlfriend because she is going overseas or something. He was really cool about it until that night when he was drunk, he blew up. She was saying it is generally better to face up to facts and learn to get over it instead of denying its existence. Just like how Siddhartha realizes that denying the presence of senses as a Samana is as pointless as being a Brahmin, also agreeing with Gautama that it is better to taste the joy and deny it - only this will he gain enlightenment and attain Nirvana.
Anyhow, she was repeating her story on this councillor last year who was so sure he found the right girl. It was rather hilarious her narration, lemme quote the boy "...it is as if God broke us apart and threw us into this sea of humans but we found each other and became a piece!" He was all enthusiastic and eager. He was so into this and believed in it so much, they're still a happy couple now by the way. So the thing is she said happiness is a perspective, "you can find 20cents when you need to use public toilet really valuable as compared to 20dollars when you don't know what to do with it". He believes in it so much that it gives him happiness, just surviving on this belief. Initially she thought he was just high on that moment, at that particular instant when things were intense, but it has been long, so i suppose happily ever afters does happen.
What i brought home from that lesson was happiness depends on your perspective. I will thank God for every little thing in my life - perhaps then i'd be happier on the whole. YAY.
And little thing - i managed to do double salchow by accident yesterday during practice. Like wow. I should rejoice. But then again its accidental so i don't suppose i can do it again XD Still, it happened! And one foot spin is amazingly fun (: Skating!

How to PWN IB
Jan. 3rd, 2008 | 08:18 pm
Princess is:
busy
Anyhow i am also finally getting the scary vibes from school work and deadlines. Boo. Especially English which totally freaks me out. Now i finally appreciate IB in its entirety - from play to slave. Honestly, i wish we were normal JC students who have 1 project work and a few studying subjects. No, bad choice here we're stuck with 2182739821738 project works of which includes:
1 field study for Geog
1 World Lit essay of 1500 words and many marks
IOC which is like MAJOR MAJOR presentation and very spontaneous cos we're only given 15 mins to prepare a 12 min non-stop commentary on a random topic
1 Business Research Paper (which is super duper demanding in quality)
Another Math Portfolio which we stayed up consecutively for 3 nights just to complete the previous one
Physics Internal Assesments T__T
EXTENDED ESSAY WHICH TOTALLY PWNED MY ASS - thats like many words and very tough, almost like a research paper and tougher than i can ever say
TOK which is like the stupid KI - you just think too much. And TOK essays + TOK oral presentation. OMG someone just stab me.
Although its extremely colorful, trust me IB is a killer. Now i finally understand why my seniors said to play hard in year 5. You can't even imagine skipping class now cos its almost impossible - in fact you don't even think its good for you. Bah. So the stress is sinking in, but well, at least im prepared (:
Yay let's pwn IB *victory sign*
