Some people remain as great friends as ever, regardless of the time past, or how infrequent the contact. Yet others simply fade into the background, and cease to be as important as before. What about all the things you once shared? Will you be satisfied with them remaining as memories, or will you try to cling onto what was, rather than acknowledging what is?
Will this feeling fade with time, and you find yourselves great friends, just like before? Or will this friendship simply cease to exist, and you wonder some time into the future how it all came down to this?
I guess I have started conversations with a biased mind, and perhaps it became self-fulfilling. But I can't help but think that we are no longer on the same stage of life as before. Are friendships that fragile, that they can't even stand the test of time? Or is it my fault, am I unable to retain friendships after moving onto a different stage of my life? I wish I knew the answer.

The MIC 4th Exco
Its been a year.
What a year it has been. I used to be just another girl, spending all my time in school either studying or having lessons. Sometimes I'll go out with friends, but that's that. Add the fact that my circle of friends was not that wide initially, you get a person with not much of a life outside school (which means just studying).
Not a lot was accomplished my first year, I must say.
Then came the end of first year. Had been regularly joining MIC activities like this.
Did not get a position in the exco initially, since me and jer both wanted the HR director post. But we went for the chalet during the hols, and that completely changed. The 4th exco of MIC was born, and I became the secretary of the club.
Thus started my life as part of the exco, and my friendship with a bunch of wonderful people.
With them, I experienced so much more. I was given the task of organising the first freshie outing at Sentosa, and I am really happy with the results. I had never imagined myself with the capability to take charge of an entire event, and to be involved from start to finish. It may have been the smallest of events, but it was my baby.
I got to do so many different things during my tenure, despite being the secretary, whose job scope is so admin in nature. I have never been restricted to that area only, cos I'll die of boredom if I did. I had my finger in every pie, from organizing outings, to being so involved in Virtuoso, to gaining experience in performing. So many things, so many memories.
The KTV for freshies before school started.

Virtuoso Finals
Genting trip, where my hand almost fell off following the ten-hour meeting
Let's not make this the end of our journey. It may be the end of our term in office, but I hope we will still take time out to meet.
I'm honoured, I really am, to have been part of this group of people, striving to push the club to greater heights. I'm grateful, to have this chance to step out of my comfort zone and try so many new things. Lastly, I'm thankful, to have found such great friends in all of you.
4:42 PM
Let’s start with this morning. Came into office a few minutes late as the bus took a long long time to arrive. I could tell who was taking the same bus; they were too easily identifiable by the growing necks they were sporting as the time moved nearer and nearer to 9 am. And what a day I chose to be late on! My big boss had gone overseas (but I already knew that), but what was unexpected was that my boss had also taken MC! So essentially no one was there to care whether I was late or not. But I think my boss quite poor thing la. She hasn’t been sleeping well, so I guess it’s a good chance for her (and me!) to rest a little.
Oh right. Been rambling on and on without mentioning where I am. I have started on my internship, and this is the 3rd day of work. Its been quite ok so far, and the main reason why I haven’t been blogging is cos I face the computer the entire time I’m at work, doing research online and writing stuff using Microsoft Word. Little wonder that I would spend my time at home doing other stuff that I don’t get to do at work. And that is DEFINITELY not typing stuff out on the computer. Lol. But I’m doing it now since I have nothing much to do, and people still think I’m working since I’m typing all these out on MS word. What a brilliant way to kill time man.
Oh wow, typed so much in such a short time lah. The time now is 1617, and there is still around 2 more hours to go before I can leave the office. Bleargh. There’s nothing much for me to do already and I want to go home……… hate working office hours cos of this. You have to work such long hours, during which a lot of the time is not productive at all, especially when there is no more work to be done. I want to fall asleep already, and I hope the rest of the days are not that sian. Blah.
Ok well. Many people have been asking me to blog about my first day at work. It wasn’t that bad, actually. I had to report to work at 9am, and surprisingly I was able to wake up in time despite being sleep-deprived for the past 3 days due to MIC camp. I basically spent 1 hour waiting for my boss to show up, as she was late, and then I just had to do some editing to various articles. After that she had to leave the office for work stuff, and I was just supposed to do some research for the next day. Hence concluded my first day at work. Wahahah. I think its quite slack, but I did do some work, unlike some other interns I noe.
The second day was also roughly the same, but the morning was slightly busier, as I had to complete more work in a shorter time. But basically the work environment is not bad, since I’m not just doing boring admin stuff. Plus my colleagues treat me quite well too, and the girl next to me is constantly offering me food. LOL
Time check: 1632. why is time passing so slowly today?? Yesterday work seemed to end quite fast. But I have typed nearly a page full of words, and only 15 min have passed. What the hell.
I’m freaking bored.
Suddenly I am unable to sign into msn, and I can see that my colleague next to me is chatting online and reading funny stuff that are unrelated to work. Lol. Not that I’m complaining. Cos I’m also thinking of doing the same thing, since we have both completed our work. Bleah. But why is 6pm not coming? I’m still too new to go off before work officially ends, especially when the people around me are still in the office.
1:19 AM
Long time no see to most of you! Been busy the entire week loh, all the activities squeezed into 2 measly weeks before work starts. Had MIC mock camp for potential exco members on thurs and fri, and have been staying in school since fri. Its really been quite fun, but also rather tiring, given the fact that you don't usually sleep early and many activites that tire you out in the end.
Anyway, guess where I am typing this out at. I'm sitting in a pitch black seminar room in school (yes, bad for the eyes i know) and blogging on Des' com loh. I'm typing this in between my songs. LOL. Yes, MIC is singing KTV in school again! Hahah. Anyone who's tempted can come join our club. 10 dollars membership fee for one year only, and you will get to enjoy free ktv for the rest of the year. Yeah man! I think I have a guaranteed sore throat tml morning man, sang too much shan hu hai already. lol.
Had alot of fun these few days, especially since this event is like one of the last for the current exco. Its been a fun ride, and I would not have missed it for the world. Even though sometimes I felt very tired over the many things, my post was really one of the slacker ones. But the free time has given me opportunities to explore other areas in the club, like helping marcus out in Virtuoso planning and being the artiste manager, and also doing performances in public and in school. I would like to retain the fun times we always have, but minus the work. Hahaha. So greedy loh. Now its time to hand over soon to the next group of exco members, and I just hope that they will continue and expand on our hard work this past year. I think I will have withdrawal symptoms next year, since there is no more need for me to coordinate meetings and do admin stuff for the club on a regular basis anymore. But I will definitely not miss the stress though. If given the chance, I would really love to do this some more, perhaps as a subcom member. :)
Wah someone just complained that I am writing out a 3000-word essay loh. Hahaha. Got things to say mah. That's what makes people read the blog MAH... haha.. ok. Shall post more on the camp again when I have time. :)
12:22 PM
Anyway, first I gotta say sorry to the MIC peeps. We planned to go supper yesterday, but I conked out extremely early. No idea why I was so tired also. Sorry! :(
Backtracking some more, had BLEWKY outing on Sunday! Well, technically only got me, bell, wini and yun; cos SOMEONE forgot to tell us she could not make it. So you know what to do right? Plan the next outing! :p
So, what did we do? Wini, Bell and I went for K-lunch! Yun had church, plus she didn't really like ktv, so she met us after that. I must say that I am always early for the wrong things. We planned to meet at 1045 so that we could have the full 3 hours starting from 11am, but I left the house late, and only reached at nearly 11. But what do you know, I was the earliest lah! Bell was having breakfast with her family, and wini WOKE UP LATE. So I had to find something to occupy my time till 1145, when they finally reached. Hai.
But its ok, I'm used to this already. Lol. Anyway kbox was fun. Bell and I started to sing all the new songs we knew, like those from Hana Kimi, and Wini was rather clueless. So she reverted to singing all the older songs, like Jay Chou's old songs and imitating Ah Do again. Quite hilarious though. I have the recordings, so who wants just tell me and I'll pass it to you! Hehez.. Needless to say, we had fun!
The session was supposed to end at 2, but no one chased us out. So in the end, we stayed till nearly 3pm, and then wini had to go. So Bell and I went to meet yun, and we just roamed around the entire Orchard, just talking and stuff. Anyway, this is late, but hope Bell has aced her interview and gotten her internship! It feels good to see all of you again! But I wish we could all gather in one place all at once. That hasn't happened for a long time. Maybe since JC. All of us are such busy people that there is no one timing that can accomodate all of us. :(
Oh but yun will be working near me for her attachment, so let's go dinner together regularly! Then we can really catch up. :)
Oh yes, photos not up yet. Too lazy to upload.. hehe.. will inform you guys when they are up! Till next time~
9:59 PM
PS: Go mrbrown.com for hilarious podcast on this. lol
11:17 PM
Anyway, jer and char finished exams today, and i went shopping with jer. Charlene was supposed to come along with us, but she went to cut hair, plus don't know go where lah. Quite confused by all her last min changes to her schedule. lol.
Oh and Alan came along too.. Since he said BP no need study one. Hahah. Anyway, we went quite crazy today lah. Bought alot of things while poor alan had to tag along. Heehee. Feel quite happy and satisfied now, maybe because I don't usually do this kinda shopping spree very often. I think shopping is quite therapeutic for me, and I don't mind spending more today since I will not be able to do this kinda thing in the near future. *happy*
And what have I been doing these few days? Been obsessed over a new show, 白袍之恋. Yes, its a Taiwanese show, about 2 doctors. Its an idol drama, so the plot of course cannot veer too much away from romance between the various leads. But its funny, and I think the plot is not bad. Less fluffy as compared to stuff like hana kimi (the manga is REALLY loads better) and the actors can act also. Not to mention the fact that one of the guys is so CUTE. Not at first glance, but he's one of those whose looks grow on you as you watch a show. The character he plays is quite likeable as well, so that adds to his appeal. lol. Here's a pic of him in the show:
haha. Watch the show, and you will know what I mean. Here's a pic of the show's 4 main characters.
Well, this post shall end here. Going to watch some more of the show! Lolz.
11:14 AM
Anyway, jer got her internship! Congrats! And its after no trouble at all, unlike the rest of us who have to slog and pray hard after applying for MULTIPLE positions. I wish I had such luck too, but everything I want, I need to work for it. No dropping from the skies kind. I have another friend like that too, and she doesn't even have to wish for a job, one with the best pay and least workload will drop automatically onto her lap. Why do I make friends with such people? I don't want to have upwards social comparison! It only makes me depressed after reflection on myself. >_< Crap. Sounds like another angsty blog post. Haha. Oh anyway for some reason many people found out about my blog these 2 days, don't know why , but never mind. What's more, some people change blog url also never say loh. Still ask if we know about it or not. Haha. Anyway, when are we meeting lah! Like no time when all our schedules fit. Argh. And many people seem extremely jealous about me ending exams so early. Everything also say "since u end exams already, you can do it", effectively pushing stuff to me. Blah. Relax, people, saturday is just 3 days away! Muahaha. I wish i can paste emoticons from msn to here. Some really express what I feel. lol. Ok, ending this nonsense post here. Sidenote: radio playing 晴天雨now. I like :D

10:08 PM
Point is, MY EXAMS ARE OVER! (ok I suspect many people will want to kill me when they read this sentence at this point of time, but who cares, this is MY blog. MUAHAHA.) And van keeps reminding me (and herself) that my exams are over. haha. No idea why also.
But anyway, its finally time for me to dive into my storage of shows and anime that have been neglected for so long. Plus most of my friends are still unavailable :( Argh but i realise that there is really very little time between end of exams and start of internship! Machiam no holiday loh this year. :(
I want to do so many things before starting internship. I want to go kbox at least once, I want to have BLEWKY outing, I want to enjoy and slack at home, I want to go shopping.... So many things to do, so little time. Oh well, it will all come true I hope. Haha.
Had dinner with my cousin today to celebrate. Started talking about many things, and we both came to the conclusion that we are both very blessed. A whole bunch of us cousins grew up together under one roof, and that has bonded us together more securely than any other thing. I realised that I can really count on them no matter what, even if our lives lead us along diverse paths. This is something that many people I know don't have, and I really appreciate what my cousins and I share. Getting together is not just a familial obligation to us, and we all enjoy the times we have together. Perhaps that is why I always look forward to CNY and any family gatherings with my maternal family. Wah, getting so sentimental. LOL.
Anyway, today is Lianne's birthday! The L of BLEWKY! Even though she's all the way in Australia now, Lianne, you are not forgotten! Hope to see you back home soon :)
Wow random stuff also can take up some much space. Good luck to all having exams, and study hard! Holidays will be just around the corner. :)
2:14 PM
Hard to believe, but yep. I am still in the midst of figuring out what the hell vogel wants us to study for the paper. I also have no idea why she added in so many articles when the relevant stuff is like 1 page out of the entire thing. Ok. Stop it. I'm starting another rant about her again. ARGH.
Oh anyway, I think many people have been listening to me whine about all my internship happenings. Well, I got an internship already, but I'm starting to feel "cheated", like Charlene always like to say. Cos I think the internship will be piled with work, and I start on 23 April, and end only on 10 Aug. Whole holiday gone. Hope I at least get some savings out of it, seeing that there is not much time for me to do other things. Then I can start to REALLY plan my exchange stuff and have the money to go there and not eat instant noodles everyday. Well, first step to applying for exchange would be to actually DECIDE where to go, which I (last minute queen) have not gotten down to doing yet.
Back to the internship. Well, I hope that I at least get something out of this internship, and hopefully the supervisor is not as fierce as she looks. She seems quite demanding and I'm rather scared of her. lol. And I pray that there are other interns coming to work there as well. If not very sian. :( Shall see how it all goes when I start work. If things are not good, then too bad for me I guess. At least its not a permanent thing.
Wah this is depressing. Anyway I have no mood to study! Thinking of all the things I can do when I end exams (yes, I end TOMORROW! WOOHOO~) LOL ok I think I have mood swings easily when I'm sian. Hope I can crap out stuff for stupid TWC paper and that the things I bring in (since its open book) will be useful. As for TnA, well, I can't express what I feel about it adequately in words. Its just what everyone in this class is hoping for. When the exams end, TnA is OVER. And that's all we are concerned about. Of course, I hope I get a decent grade for this, but most important thing would be that there's no need to see Vogel anymore. lol.
Sidenote: even though I hate the subject, many people like to come to me for advice on it. So many people askme how to do the paper, whether this method is correct, what's included in the paper, what's the diff between grand theory and MRT etc. Like woah. People have so much confidence in me ah? I also never listen in class one leh. lol. I'm flattered, but more than a little disconcerted. I got TnA TA face meh?
9:03 PM
And you know what's best about studying for this module? The notes cannot be understood. What's the point of having notes when students have to add in their own interpretations of what they THINK might have been meant by the contents? I seriously cannot understand what she's trying to say half the time. Had to make notes from HER notes. Wow. REAL helpful leh, her notes.
And one very interesting phenomenon. Everyone seems to be asking me about TnA paper. LOL. Should consider opening consulting centre for the paper sia.. Yeah. That about sums up my life this week. Argh. Monday afternoon please come quick.
On another note, many people have been playing with the celebrity match thingie after I posted it on my website, with hilarious results. Just ask desmond. lol.
9:33 PM
Ok. Basically that's what this post is going to be about. My day. But less boring lah, of course. If not I would not be blogging about it in detail rite? lol. ok, here goes. (Warning: LONG POST)
First things first: WINI I'M WRITING ABOUT YOU AGAIN!
ok. That done, on to the day proper.
As seen from one of my previous posts, I have been doing many last-minute things. Well, in order to apply for yet another internship, i needed my academic summary, which had to be requested from the Office of Registrar, and that missed the original deadline of submission for the application. No matter, since I lived near the place. Therefore, I went school today to collect the stuff, then dropped by the place to submit my stuff. Decided to meet wini for lunch at Bukit Timah (Coronation! Place of our memories for the Bukit Timah students :))
Well, she was late, and it was POURING. Got rather wet, so had to stay at the bus stop to wait for the rain to subside before going inside. Before she reached, I was walking around the place, and noting everything around me. You know how it is when you go back to a place that used to be such an integral part of your life in the past? All the memories just started rushing back. How we used to sit at the corner when Cozy Corner was full, how we always rushed to coro just to eat 可爱鸡 before rushing back to school, how we even forgot to pay for our food once... I really miss those days! And Coro has not changed much, so I could really see my memories come to life in front of me. I think I was walking around with a smile on my face loh.. lol
We went to Waribee (the old Cafe Watever at the ulu corner of 3rd floor) and ordered food! That looks like this!
yummy rite! still got pattern one leh! haha
Wini looks happy..
Here we are..
Anyway, she was telling me something that happened and doing some BIG gestures when she knocked her sarsi float over. All over the table. Onto her beloved phone. LOL. That was apparently just one of the many spilling incidents that have already happened over this 2 days. lol
Next, we went Island Creamery, another regular haunt of many Bukit Timah pple.. So many memories, all the birthdays and celebrations we had in these places.. SIGH
Today we traced all our footsteps over this area, and I was reminded of so many things! Getting nostalgic already. She had to post some stuff to USA, so we went Westmall next. That reminded me of the times just before A levels when me and yun would mug at Mos Burger there after school. We would usually get tired of studying after a while and run upstairs to watch a movie and unwind. And in the end, that was the period when we watched movies the most regularly, like nearly once a week. haha.. So much for STUDYING together. I think we are really more suited to eat and play together loh..
Yep, and I must say Wini and I ate quite alot today. After lunch at Waribee, we had mudpie and nutella ice cream at Island Creamery, then we ate KFC at Westmall again! haha.. And she decided to help me do a summary of today's events so I would be able to say everything in this post. And yes, I did follow most of the things on top.. haha..
Ok, I shall end this long "what I did today" post here, and hopefully find more things to blog about soon! Keep tagging!
1:06 PM
12:04 PM
12:08 AM
I hate it when there is something which is of the topmost priority just screaming to be done, and I have to deal with less important things but with earlier deadlines. Really felt like giving everything else up to just concentrate on that one paper, cos I was very scared that I could not link the ideas again if I stop working on it for too long.
I also think that this has made me neglect my other stuff, like the project reports that are due these few days. I really feel bad about leaving all the work to others, especially my TWC project. Argh. Even though I don't think my groupmates will read this, I still want to apologize for being too immersed in my own paper to bother about other stuff. Diffusion of responsibility here, you see, even though its not an excuse.
But I seem to be taking my project groups for granted this term. Everyone is too efficient until I don't seem to be needed to do anything much. Like there's always someone who volunteers first to do every single part of the project. I don't want to be a social loafer..... :(
This really has to be the worst Week 13 ever. I have become so ill-disciplined that all my things are left to the very last minute. Whether it is applying for internship or doing work, I have applied the same theory -- there is still time, so I can leave it till tml. I am quite certain that I would not have been so stressed if I had spread out my workload after school restarted. But what happened? Fun got into the way. Of course it is more enjoyable to watch shows or go shopping and whatnot, and I REALLY DID THAT. I need to get my self-discipline back. Crap.
Ok. That's it. Even though people always say resolutions can never be lived up to, I shall just dismiss it as a form of self-handicapping everyone does. I will chiong for my two exams with minimal distractions. Everyone, please do not contact me unless it is about school work. Abit drastic I know, but when it comes to studying I don't work well with multiple distractions like the phone going off every 10 minutes. I will be back after my exams end! (shall not say when, if not I kenna killed.. lol)
Yeah! Everyone, exam period is coming soon. After chionging our papers let's all work hard to do our best in the exams! THEN we can happily enjoy the hols (hopefully got internship :( ).
Oh well, shall stop here. If not get depressed thinking about internship again. Pui.
