STEPHO is awesome

2012

2011 went by in the blink of an eye. It has been such an eventful year and I gained many new experiences. 

First was getting into 3L at the start of the year. I’m thankful for such a great class and I really regret not putting in more effort to get to know the class better. I promise to try and spend more time with 3L!

And then there was SYF. The months leading to SYF were just a crazy mix of tiredness and stress. I’m so proud of the Gold we got and I’ll never forget the amount of effort we all put in together to attain this Gold. DHSSB rox your sox!!!!!

Sydney in June was one of the most amazing experiences ever. Spent most of the 6 days with my beloved section and it was just plain amazing. It was such a pity that we missed the chance to play in the Opera House but I’m just grateful that we even got a chance to step foot on Sydney because of the many problems that cropped up before that. (I’ll always remember the ash clouds that almost caused our trip/flight to be cancelled)

I also worked for the first time this year, as a banquet waitress at Fullerton and Marina Mandarin. It was quite a different feeling and I must say it was quite an eye opening experience. Tiring and all, but really good exposure!

And the recent overnight band camp. The floor was hard and cold, the showers had no heaters (T_T) and we could only bathe for 5 min lol, the food wasn’t fantastic but I guess camps are like that to train us. By the time the camp was over, everyone was so exhausted but it was great bcos we went through it as a band. It was our last Sojourn together with the year 5s and my dearest seniors are so cute!! I’ll miss them to bits and I had a wonderful time as their junior.

2011 was such a great year because I got to know so many people better. Lost a good friend, but gained so many more. I’m really thankful for everyone in my life and I hope that 2012 will be a better (or at least decent) year for all my dear friends :-)

Wrote this yesterday but felt that it was slightly inappropriate to post it before the end of all papers.

Decided to stop being bitter about how many marks I’ve lost in this paper and that paper cuz I know I didn’t do my best and I deserve this shit. Probably gonna have the same mentality again next year though.. How do you even curb laziness????

Quite annoying how I have this weird attitude and that even if I were to have another chance to retake my papers I probably wouldn’t study any harder cos I’m just lazy like that. Extremely annoyed with myself, but then again I’m just too lazy to change.

Before EOYs started, I just kept pushing back my study plan because of the lethal combination of laziness and procrastination. When the EOYs finally started, it dawned on my that I had to get my ass off the couch and do some actual studying. But even then, the day before the paper I actually spent equal, or probably even more time slacking around and watching tv as compared to studying. Omg I totally deserve shit results.

我老了

So yesterday was my birthday. I can safely say this was one of my best birthdays ever :-) Super touched by everyone!!

Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday be it on Facebook/through SMS/in school :-) Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday even if you hardly know me, or even know what I look like because it meant a lot to me.

Thank you Clarabelle, Yi Jun, Jolene, Shanice, Xinyu, Chensi for getting me mega guailan gifts and for preparing all these despite having to prepare for EOYs!! All the best guyz :-)

Thank you Cheryl Loo, Muxin, Thiri, Megan, Yuan Wen, Ying2, Chensi, Ben, Siying, Yohanes, Eliss, Gloria, Maranda, Clarissa, Anni, Tingli, Joelle, Ngee Siang, Cherelle for chipping in/writing notes/eating cake/coming down to celebrate my birthday you guyz are da bezzzzz I got a huge shock when I saw everyone there and felt like the luckiest person ever!

Thank you 3L for singing me a birthday song during which I felt so embarrassed I wanted to explode but thank you so much :-)

Felt so guilty because you guys took time off your busy mugging schedule to give me such a nice surprise and I’m rly rly rly rly touched!!!

谢谢大家 I’m about to cry again :’)

I’m officially nuts haha.

Anyway, I just wanted to say I had a hell load of fun at the chalet & I rlly love you guys!! :-) 

Squad chalet in Dec okay! :D

When we first got the email in Apr, I found this thing rlly cool. & before you know it, we formed a team :-) I think it was rlly an eye-opening experience for me because I’ve never done anything like this before and yes you guys were such great team mates! Through all the planning and constructing, I think I really learned a lot, especially about time management LOLOL. The time we spent slacking was the most fun because well yeah, it was just fun. All the time spent on watching BF vs GF or Psycho GF or kpop (-_-“) or sex change videos was extremely entertaining lolololol.

During the past 2 days, I had an insane amount of fun constructing our colourful-looking machine with you guys. We didn’t have enough time to finish connecting our machine, the steps that we were so confident of didn’t work out well, we had thousands of human interventions, the judge laughed at our group name, so? All at the same time, we had so much fun using WP’s yellow and red tape to fix the whole machine together, our machine looked good (from far LOL), we did our best, our group name is so cute, all our brilliant ideas were so brilliant and most importantly, we had fun.

Exploring the Science Centre (for free LOL), eating catered food that actually tasted good, stealing so many extra boxes of refreshments just to eat the hot dog buns, loading a cannon which exploded in our faces so many times. Then we pranced around the gift shop to look for guailan things, WP ended up buying so many random things that are useless, sneaked back into the science centre because we were lazy to walk the long way, played at the play area like 3 year olds, strolled back to the bus like VIPs, then ran back all the way to the gift shop to take back Timmy’s phone.

This stupid shit took up so much of my time but I don’t regret it one bit because I rlly enjoyed myself. Although I probably won’t join another competition like this, I’m so glad we pressed on and even though we didn’t win anything, I’m still rlly proud of the piece of crap we produced (and wrecked yesterday) because it represented our months of hard work. 

K bai hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as I did throughout the course of this competition! :-)

Spent 1h looking through SYF and Sydney photos…

Feeling rlly sad right now becos all these seem to have happened so long ago :’(

I rlly miss Sydney!!!!! & SYF too becos albeit feeling extremely stressed, I think I enjoyed myself a whole shitload too.

Sydney was such a wonderful experience and I would never trade it for anythg at all. Definitely want to go there again with DHSSB if I had the chance to. Actually anywhr would do, as long as we travel as a band, right? Right?

SYF was so memorable too. It was and is going to be my one and only JH SYF and yes it was good. Looking back at the pictures makes me wonder if you even remember any of it at all. Makes me wonder if you feel even a tiny tinge of regret. Makes me wonder if you would change things given another chance. Doubt so.

Sydney w DHSSB was like 6 days of bliss and I still remember hoping so hard that the flight would not be cancelled becos of the ash clouds. And way before that, hoping so hard our trip would get approved in the first place. 

I’m so glad I ended up in band becos…. it wasn’t my first choice. My first choice is too embarrassing to reveal but I’m rlly fortunate that I got into band. It’s just a life changing thing, or at least it shaped my secondary school life. No regrets or whatsoever. Rlly rlly rlly glad. Cannot even imagine a life whr I didn’t get into band, yknow. Wouldn’t it be pretty empty??? 

Oh well it is 2am & I have school tomorrow. Psh goodnight.

How I would love to wake up one morning and feel happy about myself.
