ive been thinking about what i want to do after A levels... wonder how many of those things i will accomplish. i actually made new years resolutionsthis year, none of which i have really kept, aside from the one about reading more. i think ive read four books this year, which is a large number considering it's only been half a year and i read only one measly book last year. i was never really fond of reading as a kid because i always thought it was such a tedious process. but now i really enjoy it and i think it truly brings out the meaning of fei qing wang shi cos youre swept away by your imagination that you lose all sense of space and time. okay maybe not space. but space and time go together.
anyhow, michie is leaving for michigan in august, so the parents thought that i would only be appropriate to have one last family vacation before she goes abroad. nevermind the fact that the ominous A's are looming ahead, we'll be heading to bangkok for a weekend retreat after cts. not that i'm complaining of course. actually i am. cos i wont be able to hit the greatsingaporesale once more, but then again theres also shopping in bkk(:
sometimes i find myself worrying about the future. cos even though we are constantly being warned about how unpredictable and uncertain life is, you dont realise how scary the real world is until you are thrown into the deep end of the ocean where you either sink or swim. although i cant wait to be done with the A's, i cant really imagine what life will be like after. just because you do well doesnt mean youll get into whatever faculty or college that you desire. and when university life does start, everyone will be dispersed all across the globe and i suppose distance will inevitably test the strength of your friendship. having spent my entire life in a rafflesian institution (except for maris stella kindergarten), the faces around me have remained relatively constant. so having my friends dissolve into the rest of the world will be a big change for me. but all hope is not lost, for we still have technology! haha. oh well, and it doesnt get any better when we start working. i hope i end up doing something that i enjoy because i cant imaine having to wake up bright and early in the morning only to face something absolutely boring and detestable. at the end of the day i guess i can only trust in God's plan and see where that takes me.

I AM SO DEPRESSED. I DID NOT EVEN SHOP DURING THIS HOLS. I AM GOING TO SHOP LIKE CRAZY AFTER BLOCKS. my mom and sis and father and natbala and tricia and their respective mothers are going to hongkong after my blocks end!
I COULD HAVE GONE WITH THEM. EXCEPT MY MOM THOUGHT MY BLOCKS ENDED LATER AND NOW THERE ARE NO MORE TICKETS LEFT.
AND MY EXAMS END ON THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY. like A GOOD FIVE DAYS after you guys are done!
hahahha. SIGH. this was such an incoherent random rant. but term 3 and 4 is going to pass so fast. we'll all turn 18 one by one! and then the big a levels will be done! (omg that rhymeddd).
ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR BLOCKS. i think i better crawl back to mugging now :(
hahah, yeah! we'll all suddenly turn eighteen. first me then you then bombs then suddenly its time for a levels and next thing you know we'll be sitting in adjacent rocking chairs on someone's porch knitting! kick ass for blocks, i'll see you on sunday
OH YES. there's no sundayschool on sunday! because its the teacher's retreat. but we're (me kaye quek maurice at least) are going for Upper Room at 8.30am.
(there's a 0.01% chance of me not being able to wake up on sunday morning and thus going for shineforth instead. but i WILL HAUL MYSELF OUT OF BED)
my sister is on a 2 week trip to barca and ibiza with natngoi AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. she left her bag ON THE FLOOR while eating and it got STOLEN. along with ALL HER CASH (630 euros which was her waitressing money), her PASSPORT, her HANDPHONE and IPOD.
i cannot believe she LEFT HER BAG ON THE FLOOR. that's like the cardinal sin of travelling! i suppose we can say that we're more successful travellers!
my dad was SO mad because he told her to put some of her money in her bra. but she dumped everything in her bag so now its all gone. :/
oh yeah, i totally forgot about the teachers retreat. i'll see if i can drag myself to upperroom too then. and how did your sis think of going to ibiza? the word makes me think of birkenstocks. but 630 euros!! amg, did she cry? i would have probably have hyperventilated and died. and what's she going to do about her passport? was it her first day there? come to think of it, i'm so pleased with us for having survived london with no trouble whatsoever. want to go to santorini islands after a's? bombs wants to go to greece too. aaand, i saw your brothers spain trip pics plastered over redsports.sg!
YES I WANT TO GO TO THE SANTORINI ISLANDS. HAHAH.
my sister is back. SHE ALSO GOT STUNG BY A JELLYFISH. she was not very sad about losing her money. she was QUITE PERKY actually. i think she didn't want to be a partypooper.
she called up some family friend who had the contact to the spanish consulate and then they got her new travel documents.
AND SHE'S GOING TO HONGKONG in two days. SIGH.
NEVERMIND. WE WILL BE JETSETTING NEXT YEAR.
sighhhh i still have lit on tuesday. I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT TO BE OVER. i cannot believe i have to spend my last youthday mugging :(
didnt your sister get stung by a jellyfish the last time you were on hoiday too? and keep mugging!i'm back from bangkok already. the trip was too short!
