Yesterday was productive. Quite. :)
We should have a bake day at yiiwen's someday! I'm uploading some of the cookie photos we took yesterday to our blog... I've never attempted baking before. Heh. I look forward to eating them more than baking them. Whoops. Thats one of the reasons why I put on weight. I just can't resist good food. Plus when you mug, it seems like you eat more. Sheesh.
Haha. Thats Dud, with a cookie. Do you still remember him?

okay second blessing of the week.
went to help out at a viriya carnival today in boon lay and had lots of fun. feels good being useful to someone else for once while doing a comm service project. :) the following is what i wrote as reflections for boon lay youth club [and for your reading pleasure]:
comm service today at the viriya carnival was fun fun fun!!!
seriously one of the most enjoyable comm services i've ever done. :)
me, woonli and ron [the three tallies] were in charge of the art competition for kids. we did registration and later hung up the art pieces along the corridor as a sort of exhibit. theme: i love my grandparents. my favourite piece: grandma and grandpa in space suits looking v. cool and funky haha. it's my hp wallpaper now.
then after that was the dessert competition. my job: chase away hungry passers-by and keep the food intact at least until the judges finished tasting the food. and no, i didn't eat any. very disciplined right? :) the participants were mostly housewives and aunties. they were amusing. there were these two aunties arguing over whose kueh was nicer and they tried to get me to judge...luckily i managed to get out of it :)
and pleasant surprise of the day: minou bags going at $5 and $8 each!!! haha bought one for myself.
generally the ppl at viriya were v.nice to us and for once i felt that i was really being useful there. not like one of those service projects where you feel more of a hindrance than a help. and yep, so i had lots of fun today volunteering!

haha. it kind of depends on the person, and the mood i'm in when socialising. with some people that i just meet, i can talk about nonsensical stuff and feel perfectly comfortable, yet with others, i can't. maybe those chatty people are just socialble. i mean, the first impression people get about me is that i'm quiet. they claim that their impression changes after a while, when they realise "how crappy i can get".
i'm sorry if some days i just seem far off and quiet around all of you. i've no idea why either. i'm just to tired to open my mouth. or i'll just get lost in the middle of a conversation. ach.
my fitness level has plummeted. i couldn't even do footwork after sprinting those 2 rounds. sheesh. thats never happened before.
it just struck me that we're all growing up really fast. in 2 years time, we'll have gotten back our a level results, and we'll be entering university. i'm not ready for that yet.

a quick one. actually watching lost now. full day trg today. so tired... sigh.
anyway, i totally agree with u. it bugs me sometmies how come no one seems to have the socialising problem. some days i can be very chatty even with strangers. some days i'm jsut so far off i guess. i'm perfectinly happy to be alone, u know? yeah n i cant seem to get interested in those random convos floating pass me. i suppose al arge part is who we're with..

nothing much has been happening in my life lately so i haven't been blogging much...*sheepish smile*. i don't think i make a good blogger anyhow so maybe that's why i don't have a personal blog. btw no one (other than my fellow bloggers) actually reads this right? right?
so here goes some random thoughts:
welcome back may! glad to have you back in s'pore again :)
and congrats to lyd for finishing well in sailing :)
it feels good when you haven't been talking to some of your friends much but when you meet again, you realise that there's no lack of conversation between you two. and you think: thank goodness we haven't drifted apart yet.
lately i realised how anti-social i am. i seriously lack social skills. was at trg yesterday when i realsied that i can only talk to a few fencers. i don't know how other ppl do it but i just can't talk about nothing to ppl i don't know. thus the result is i stone while other ppl chatter away around me. i'm not being anti on purpose, i just don't know how. wonder if anyone else is afflicted with the same problem.

just to share my favourite poem:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry i could not travel both
And be one traveler, long i stood
And looked down one as far as i could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, i kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if i should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and i-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-end of poem-
and so u made a choice on that "one-way only road with many paths to choose from"...when will we know if the difference resulting from the choice we made as compared to the other choice is sth to regret or not?

I'm back. unfortunately, didn't bring back any amount of harbour water. or air. or sand. the air at the harbour kind of stinks anyway.
I'm grateful to god for blessing us throughout the course of the journey, and thank you to my parents, for giving me this chance to see another part of the world. who wants to go finland with me to see the aurora?
I've had the feeling of lost opportunities too. And everyone has regrets. But I've accepted we can't go back. we just have to keep trudging on. and i've realised that if you change that one thing, change that one decision, your life wouldn't take the same course. it could be drastically different. Life is a one-way only road with many paths to choose from anyway.
That just sounded really confusing.

Realised I haven't been keeping up with my weekly thank-you-fors. It's not like I haven't had much to be grateful for. Just haven't been in much of a mood to write them all down. Well, for one, I am grateful that we did manage to win something in the team racing regatta. Each team's supposed to comprise of 4, but we only had 3. still we managed pretty well. I spent so much of my time in upper pri and lower sec training and training. didn't like it much after a while. and i guess i didnt really put my all in it. but still i have to say tt i picked up team racing skills from there and my coach (although we had very different viewpts abt certain stuff) was really good, i have to admit. it came to good use in the past 2 days. my fleet racing skills kinda suck though. and nats is fleet aft all. tt's worrying.
Have you ever had the feeling of lost opportunities? I don't know. I keep telling myself that i'm only 17... it's too early in life for regrets. and it isn't like success would have been guarenteed. i know i'm being vague. it's just tt i kinda miss the excitement, that 'specialness'. i've closed that door for good. I know that. I know I can't keep looking back. I can't keep thinking what the other path would have been like.
this post should go up on my personal blog not here... but i'm too lazy.
slug's a bit confused so forgive her haphazardness

Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in it's time

hihi,
sb just told me tt life is like the sine graph...there'll be ups and downs, but things wont get too bad ...just like the sine graph never goes below -1. Then i thot: does tt mean it will not be too good cos the graph doesnt shoot above 1? Oh well, and why not the cos graph? its more or less like the sine graph, just tt one starts high and comes down whereas the other starts from zero and goes up, haha. which would u prefer? no diif rite...after all they both go up and down and up and down and up and down...tiring.
oh and anyway, i thot the tan graph would best reflect life, cos it goes up and down infinitely, just like how life is so diff to grasp... infinity is abstract.
hmm...i see how these boring graphs can have meaning too, haha. i may sound silly thou.
how's hols for everyone anyway. cant wait to see 2 M s and SY tmr :)
