DECEMBER

haha sorry for the lack of updates! the last week was so busy with these random surprise tests for all the subjects. so annoying. i must say though i think it turn out pretty okay...

anyway last friday was jennifer's bday party! WOOO. at TGI Fridays. Happy Birthday Jennifer! after that was suppose to go to dream hollywood. but i felt sooo sick. no idea why though anyway i thought the food was awesome! despite the dramaness after that..

haha Birthday girl!! with evetor's (me faking) gift. HAHAHA
Damn FIERCE OK. HAHAHA ANTM (left side only)

Me and Birthday Girl! yay. got loads more pictures but too lazy to upload. HAHA

So anyway today during english, i felt very motivated by 房子先生。 It reminded my of the time in Singapore when like a good teacher takes charge, has a clear plan and knows what he wants our class to achieve. He gives constructive feedback and told us what was needed to get good grades. HAHA havent had a teacher like that in two years. I truely miss the days of TMS where we would strive through "competition" or just enjoy XYZ teacher's lesson (of course 阿牛 as well). Then you know what grades u wanted to achieve how to stretch yourself, the extra lessons, classes and the sacrifises teachers made. Today when 房子先生 said the same things as well i was really impressed, my heart beat so fast and i felt a real determination (one not felt for a long time) to really try my best for english. Leaving school we had this conversation:
房子先生: your essays one of those that has great potential. If you continue this trend im sure you'll get a six of a seven
Me: ohh cool so what do u tink i should improve on
房子先生: i tink you should just read more.
Me: Read more?? ?? -.-

Haha. in the midst of this cold and dark winter, where the sun sets at 5 p.m and the days are shorter, you really start to miss home. the friendships that cross boundaries, do they really last? haha its always during this period when i feel home sick, start thinking about people i care. And i see those (e.g. vic) who has already return and wish i could be there too. I tink about the majong sessions that could be played, the gatherings with family, the outings with all the friends back home. haha unfortunately this christmas, i won't be returning back. Instead im going to America, which at first seem like such a promising idea, is now bitter sweet.

Oh well. Make the best of it shop shop shoppp!! :D
Love
Corneeee
sometimes a conversation on MSN seems like the hardest thing and we have nothing to say to each other. do we really cross borders?
im sorry for my silence towards you the last week or so, but i hope u understand why. its just that u've change.

Amazing.



WOW.

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Hmmmm...

When people get annoying and you feel like slapping them just take a deep breathe and calm down.... hehe

anyway singapore trip was REALLY amazing i miss shaikha SO MUCH!! HAHA love our orchard adventure. P.S Operation CS still hasnt been removed! (fuck.)

besides the annoying nuisances of "children" who shall remain nameless, i was fortunate not to get my entire trip ruined by Y who hmm? finished exams and had nth to do that day but.. oh well. forget it! hahahaha.

Although this trip was not as enjoyable as previous ones, "home is where the heart lies." I will never be like some ungrateful ingrates who vehemently criticise their birth place not taking into consideration the abundant opportunities that this small island has provided for them.
Although I may love to study overseas etc stay in foreign countries, I have always said i value my "little red book" very much thank you. We like to criticize the government for this and that, our education system is too stressful (have u seen the korean one?), this is not good that is not good. Yet, we fail to realise the HUGE amount of benefits we as a country enjoy. These include cheap afforadable public housing, cheap UNIVERSAL health care, heavily subsidised education and low crime rates etc.

its time to put the CITIZEN back into COUNTRY and learn to show some forms of appreciativeness.

Thats all.

So after 22 months the campaign is finally over! phew. all of a sudden there's like nothing to check online anymore.. no more polls no state by state analysis no sarah palin. SIGHHH! hahaha

lets recap the journey.

it all started 22 months ago when i saw obama's speech after the Iowa caucus.



"they said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided too disillusion to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, in this defining moment, you have done what the cynics said we couldnt do"

haha i remembered as i watched that speech and i said "this man will win the nomination" and my dad said NO. HAHA how wrong they all were!! I'm so glad he won! what a long a tiring journey it has been but soooo fruitful!

and when he eventually defeated clinton (not that she was bad or anything) it was like WOW he could actually be the president! of course i had my doubts during the campaign, when things got harder during the end but as long as he kept fighting i knew the nomination would be HIS!
Although hillary was defeated, she has been one of the best advocates during the presidential campaign, crossing the country for him and speaking on his behalf and even Bill clinton too! i was pretty impressed by the Unity of the democratic party

and when the presidential election came, john mccain sold himself to be the republican nominee, pandering to the tastes of the right wingers. what a waste! the election would have been soooo much closer!



so as we move forward there's sooo much expectations for him to live up to and there will definately be disappointments and setbacks as well but his success gives everyone the audacity TO hope"

p.s APEC Summit is in SG next year!! HOPE HE COMES!!

RSVP

i was so bored that i actually checked out what RSVP means.

"Répondez s'il vous plaît", a French phrase that translates to "please respond"" or literally "respond, if you please" [1]. It is with this meaning that invitation cards and similar documents are often marked with "R.S.V.P." It is standard practice to reply to an RSVP request whether confirming attendance or declining."
