Its been a long time since I posted, and I guess it'll be a long time till I post again, if ever. Haha, I know I said the same thing at the end of 2010, but to be honest, things change with time, and sometimes we should go along with it and leave things be.
Writing my personal essay recently has reminded me again why I like writing: putting the jumbled up thoughts in my head into words, capturing my feelings at the moment and then revisiting everything in the future, older and hopefully wiser but nonetheless still able to appreciate and understand my own growth and journey.
(grins) This might sound pretty syrupy and sweet right now, but I like being that sort of person. And I really enjoy relieving the crazy going ons from my past posts, from my initially super awkward form of writing (brought a smile to my face) to the more introspective pieces which I think only I will know what they truly mean and represent.
These past 6 years have been a blast. Thanks to everyone who've accompanied me on this journey, however short it was. Thanks for all the shared memories, strong friendships and kind words. Oh, and thanks blog! (:
Happy New Year!

but in time
I'm sure that I'll
be fine.

AS'11: Avalon
Not bad! Back to the days where amateur dance was cool and storyline was thinly veiled links to campfire songs.
And being 01-06. (:

Yesterday was All in the Name of Art! And it was an awesome show haha, even if I didn't get to watch everything! The rj performers were obvoiusly talented (comedy, singers and a nice original song!), but I think the kids from the Little Arts Academy really surprised me with their dedicated performances!
Was attached to their theatre group during the concert, and when I first led them out they were all hyper and rowdy and pulling on me but when it was their turn they just went into character in a snap. It was like, one moment a boy was wrapping the curtains around my leg and the next he was firing imaginary arrows on stage. Really proud of them! Then out they came and they were all flying around again haha. Plus they call me 'teacher' lol, how can I not smile at that? XD
And I think the most surprising moment of the night was when that cute little girl in the ballerina outfit just came forward and hugged each of us out of the blue.
Really, all in all I had a good time and it was meaningful too. Good job Moses and Du Xuan! :D

Identity
Got the letter a few days ago. Yup, the thin, top-secret-confidential pleaselearnsomepropertearingtechniquestodelicatelyreaditscontents letter. Is it really that much more secure to send a letter sealed upon itself? Because I almost ripped it open trying to follow the dotted lines haha.
Anyway, main thing was I had to go online to complete some forms, but firstly had to register myself again, with my full name and nric and stuff, which I did quickly in a no-brainer way. Then on to the forms - BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. So typed everything more carefully this time. And the site kept telling me that it wasn't my real name and/or nric.
So after hitting 'enter' about 20 times and then checking the url to see if I was at some nigerian scam site, I called on the big guns: my parents! And they couldn't figure it out too. So they went to check my original documents, and well...
Long story short, the name that I've been using for over 18 years of my life, using to apply for all the random forms, IS WRONG. Shocked me when I saw it, my mother couldn't believe it too, thought it was an error and started chiding my father. The funny thing is, when I typed in my... correct name, the website accepted it. :O
Funny how we're always learning something new about ourselves, huh!

omg spelt guantanamo bay as guatamalo bay in my GP essay D: must have confused it with guatermala or something! if it sorta sounds the same will i still get marks?
was going home from NTU yesterday after H3, got into the MRT at Pioneer (2nd on line) and went to Paya Lebar (22nd on line) to change to circle line. Since it was the second stop on the line, there were empty seats, i just sat down. Begin the seat conundrum!
First decision point is when people flood into the train at a busy station, like Jurong East. That's when all seats are taken up and most people will have to stand. If there's an elderly/handicapped/pregnant person, you should obviously give up your seat, but what if everyone's relatively young? Kept my seat then, cos there was still a long journey ahead!
Second decision point is when some questionable people come in. For me, it was a slightly obese women who stood right in front of me. If I kept my seat, there's a chance that she might need it and be annoyed. If I gave her my seat, there's a chance that she might get offended, plus I still had 15+ stations to go so both of us would have to stare at each other awkwardly and/or ignore each other completely for a long time. Sense the internal turmoil!
Next time I'll just stand from the start la haha.
