Till death,

Still in Florida and it's been amazing. Miss family and friends.

I know I can make it.

CCA-AB and then Council camp. Amazing :) I've been so blessed to be a part of both camps. Thank you ~ Been very reflective over issues regarding netball, council, work and personal matters. God has indeed come into my wandering soul. During a time of weakness and fatigue, He lifts me up. He lifts all of us. Florida tomorrow; Excited :)

CCA-AB till Monday. ~

I've just spent a good 2 hours at least on the computer looking at food blogs. I want to try them all. I want to organise my 'Favourites' folder on my internet browser and work my way down. These were very pretty. I want to try the Yoghurt Strawberry Ice cream! :P Busy busy busy. But I really should get focused on work too, and training. Fit fit fit, fun fun fun.

Hold on

There are some things worth holding on to.

Goodbyes

Aunty.J and Ting are leaving on Friday, migrating to Canada. *Can't wait to go over after A's. Spent this evening at Grandma's house: Cards, Dinner, the usual escapade to find either Coffee bean or Starbucks nearby. Haven't been over in forever, and just seeing the familiar faces sometimes makes me feel as if I'm ticking it off my list, that doesn't exist. I don't know. Family is complicated, and just embracing the reality the relatives, I'm not sure what it all means. Family ties.

I've yet to grasp what we've become and what will become in the following years. Literally moving apart. I don't know what we look forward to when we come together during these family meet ups, what we all want out of it. It's a fact, that we are related by blood and are just there. But what does this whole unit truly mean? I doubt we'll have those picnics at East coast or Pasir ris anymore.

We've growing older, wanting different things. Wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, babies. Just thinking about my relatives here and how we're all moving away(sooner or later) makes me think about my other relatives in England and how to place this kinda of relationship. Meet up in a few years, lucky if one year. Small talk, things in common? I'm not very sure.

Eddie was talking about moving away from ideas and interests, where maybe and probably in the future. Those family holidays might not happen, how the three of us might have different ideas on an ideal holiday. How we would want to spend it together? I don't know.

I'm still looking forward to the idea of Africa, cause Dad's friend Bill is there and Faheema, a friend that we seemed to have made on holiday in Queenstown, New Zealand. #Which I would love to go back to, I love New Zealand. It's beauty is remarkable. But like Eddie pointed out, there are other beauties to discover, hidden in the little cracks of Asia.

She keeps talking about Laos, maybe next year we could go up, or maybe a little road trip some place. *Cross fingers* She gets her driving license soon :)
PR had our sub committee outing yesterday which was calming, the atmosphere although rather exciting was definitely fun and amazing. Although the food may not have been the best, the company was best. Laughing and coming up with interesting ideas for the future of PR. The future looks promising. We have our class gathering on Monday evening, and I guess it'll be good to meet them.

I was thinking today, like how much we will actually get to spend or talk during these holidays. How good a friend have we actually become? Would it say much if we didn't even share a hello or a conversation during this holiday period and somehow get back into routine with school next year? I don't know. Guess it depends on how much effort one puts into friendships.
I'm rather excited about Florida (> school camps)

So much so much. I don't even know how to process these thoughts, and plans for this year and the following years to come. \

You get what you give

Warm cookies, cool breeze and cold touch of rain droplets, music so subtle you don't pay attention to yet fills you with this amazing comfort. although I feel slightly uneasy with this wave of events I will be okay.

News~

1. A woman in Brazil was charged for wearing a mini dress to university

2. Someone in Forum was discussing the possibility of getting rid of stamps - what's going to happen to 'stamp collection' >:

3. There is an Louis Vuitton opening in Mongolia - Further division between rich and poor.

4.Alarm at Zimbabwe's growing child sex abuse
5.Sarkozy+Berlin wall+Facebook photo - Everything is Facebook. Facebook is everything. Yesterday during Oral Presentation when everyone talked about how to spread news and get people's attention of a certain issue they all came back to Media + Technology = Facebook. It's scary how it's evolving so fast, evolving the world and people. What will we be using in a few years, something more advanced? Then we think about History, and how much we've gone through especially with the falling of the Berlin Wall. ~History lessons :)

6.Winning millions in the lottery. - Easy money?

7.More nuclear stations - Good, bad and ugly?

8.Dalai Lama in Asia Ever since Mdm Palo showed us the videos during her lessons, I've come to want to know more about the Dalai Lama.

Holidays~

Speechless

I have typed various lines and continuously cleared it. I don't know how to express myself tonight. I am blessed. It warmed me inside when a teacher reminded us of what was important. To know what we have come to possess this year. To treasure it because time is short and you just race against it, in attempt to savour each moment with things, people and activities. Life goes on.

I just feel so lost for words, But glad at the same time. To have those opportunities...

Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.

Old school movies, romantic comedies. Feel good, feel good.

Mdm Palo is going to let us watch Glee in school on Friday.

i) Shakespeare in love, layla kaylif

ii) Sixpence none than richer, kiss me

I want to sleep.

Life is like a box of chocolates.

It's not always about what people do for you, but what you can do for them.
We were talking about this last week, and I wasn't sure If I'd be my own friend. Could we ever like ourselves?

You wonder sometimes why people are your friends. They made a choice. Most of the time a good one, presumably.

What do people see in me? Everyone has their own views.

I've learnt appearances aren't the only thing.

I feel helpless.

I've been disappointed, and truly surprised with friends.

Grateful, blessed.

I feel inadequate, not doing enough - unable to provide.Not only to my friends, but family.

November's around the corner. Everything's moving so fast.

I hope I still get to go to Florida even though there's recently been an increase in swine flu cases there.

I felt like I went through today without any thoughts. A mad rush. I didn't like it. Not able to understand and think about my thoughts and actions.

I'm part of the Adhoc in charge of Orientation next year, training's going to start soon and school's coming to a close. I'm going to miss the J2's. It feels weird, almost insufficient to not see them. To bump into them at the corridoors and say hello.

I can't seem to think in coherrent sentences, but this is what I feel. Maybe tomorrow, I'll link everything together.

>.<

Same same, but different.

We sometimes feel the same, but there's always something we try to differentiate ourselves from one another: To stand out, to be unique. When we finished school today, we all left class and when we were walking down the staircase, Eve just went: I love AD1. That simple line made the day worth while, worth waking up and coming to school for. As if, we're lost in this world of childhood innocence, joy and challenges. Also, I am still rather amused to the friends that seem to pay attention to the little details and have come to understand me. Thank you to the friends who have come to understand me, and I apologise if such kindness and knowledge is not mutual.

Museum tomorrow :) Hopefully still have time to meet Frizzles and Keshia after!

I love walking around the neighbourhood and finding new meaning to places that I've passed a hundred times. It's a discovery, a beautiful one. I find it very reflective, to have these walks. I try to look for different ways to go home, so as to not fall into a routine. I hate it sometimes, even though it brings me great safety and comfort.

I hate how I feel like a old woman sometimes, to feel so naggy and uptight. To feel like I'm not acting my age, when I should be? But then again, there's no description or behavioural patterns one must follow. I'm eighteen. Go ahead and think I'm crazy for wanting to watch Mary Poppins last night and listening to 90.5fm more than 98.7fm : To feel like a child, to feel like a naggy mother, to feel like a old woman who has lost her mind. Sometimes I'm everything else I'm not. What are we supposed to feel or think? We're growing up too fast.

Don't judge.

Past few days have been temperamental: I wanted a storm today, cause I felt like that was the only way I could release everything inside of me. I felt the lightning, thunder and dark clouds inside my body.

Love makes you beautiful.
