I went out with Pam today, our main intention was to get some stuff for school as well as some accessories, instead, we got a whole lot of other stuff.
I met up with her at about 12 and we proceeded to Bugis where I got myself a wallet. Then we went walking around looking for other stuff to buy - we wanted to make a best friend charm - but nothing caught our eye, so instead, we went to Seoul Garden for lunch. After lunch, we headed off to Vivo for more shopping. We first went into a CD shop and I bought two CDs then, at Mu-ee, we found our charm (I post the pictures another day). So, naturally, we made one each. After that was done, we really did not one to spend anymore and so headed home.
I also made a discovery today. It is absolutely not something hilarious. I can't really find a word to describe it, but a close enough word would be scary. It's not surprising exactly because I sort of predicted it before...
Yeah, so a close enough description would definitely be scary. To protect her privacy, I'm not saying what discovery I made.
All in all, I had a lot of fun today.

My sis on a bike... I recently returned from an eight-day holiday. We - my family - took a different holiday this time. Instead of the usual flights overseas, my dad drove all the way to Thailand. It was really cool. I learnt loads of stuff. And of course, as usual, lots of shopping was done. That sounds just like me - shopping...
I won't say much in this post though, I feel that it will be kind of boring... all the shopping and stuff.

The bad feelings have evaporated! My results are better than I expected. Congratulations to everyone on completing 4 years of secondary education.
It makes me realise me really sad to know that some of my friends won't be with me anymore next year. I am happy that I'm able to move on up to the next level and yet I really want us all to move up together. I know that we will still keep in contact no matter what, however, the time that we will be spending with each other is greatly reduced. It;s kind of disheartening actually.
Okay! Enough about the negative stuff already. Congratulations to Pam, Jen and Naz on obtaining the top 4 positions. It's nice to know that some of my friends and I are able to have our positions so close together. I guess it's like what they say - birds of a feather flock together. The four of us have been through a lot and I'm sure with the drive and determination we all have, we will be able to achieve our dreams. I am really looking forward to see you in the future.
Also, to all my pals, you have tried your best and done well. Congratulations!
Lastly, to all those who are disappointed with your results, don't lose hope...it's still not considered too late. If you can put in the extra effort I'm sure success will come your way. Have faith.
Looking forward to seeing all of you!!!
Best wishes!

Oh Gosh!!! I'm terribly nervous right now. Actually, mere words aren't enough to describe how I feel. I'll be collecting my results tomorrow and I get closer to that every second.
I woke up in the middle of last night and realised that I was crying. Crying in my sleep may not be a first for me - especially after recent incidents - but it's not something that happens everyday either. I must have had a bad dream. The problem is, I simple can't remember what I dreamt about. And I don't know if I should take this as a bad omen... I hope not. I honestly hope that it's just the stress that I've been facing recently. I wish that I could get it over and done with, yet I'm also really worried about it. *Sigh*
It's really getting on my nerves. Honestly, the agony is worse than PMS...
Whatever it is, I do hope that this ordeal will be over soon. It's not that I really hate this feeling. It's just that it's makes me feel really uncomfortable and at a loss. And I like to know what I'm doing. I dislike feeling lost. It's like making wrong turns every time...
Good luck every one!

I'm really frustrated lately. I still write songs but inspiration is limited. I just can't seem to find much inspiration. I used to be able to write about 3 verses in one sitting. Now, I can only write about one and a half. I think that the stress is messing with my head. Currently, my studies tops my list of priorities and as I mentioned, I'm really worried about my results.
I never used to feel this way, but I the holidays are a tad too long. I have no homework and although I do some self studying, they are not enough to occupy all my time.
Sure, I do meet up with my friends to do what normal teenagers do - catch movies, shopping, singing, etc.
However, I can't do all these every day, So, I do some reading and try to write more songs. I was browsing through some of my previous songs yesterday and I did some editing. I must say, Amanda and Shermeen did an amazing job on the music. If we continue, we might just be able to reach our target by the end of next year. Amazing, huh?
The only thing left to worry about right now is my results.
*sigh* Results, results, results...

I'm now starting to get nervous. My results will be released on the 18th of this month and I really don't know how I'll score - I don't even have a clue. I felt that the papers okay. There were questions which were difficult as well as questions which were slightly less challenging. I do hope that my results will be up to expectations. I have set rather reasonable targets for myself and I do hope that the targets are met.
Of course, I do have subjects which I have more confidence in as well as subjects where I lack a little confidence. I may be able to cope with my work but I was never the best student. I never really aimed to be the best student either. I just do what I have to do to maintain my grades.

I have been pretty busy lately with camps and stuff. And today, I'm blogging in a totally different mood and atmosphere...
I recently thought about how fragile life is and how we could lose someone so easily. It's all so unexpected they can be right next to you within the next second things change. I really don't understand this but this is life and there's no changing it.
We really should treasure the people around us. We must ensure that there is never going to be any regrets no matter what happens...
Good luck...
