helllo(:
just came back from a wonderful day (:
i actually managed to go mug for awhile at bedok library(:
(actually not mug ><><)
met jasmine after that to go eat some stuff(:
and after that i went SUN-DAC to visit again! :D
i love going back to SUN-DAC because i love the trainers and the clients there (:
it'a a place where i feel loved and where i know my presence will bring joy to the clients(:
and the trainers too :D muahaha(:
anyway, when i went back- almost all the clients remembered me (:
and said/waved hello to me :D and smiled at me (:
their enthusiasm and happiness never fails to brighten up my day :)
similarly, i know that if i were them,( i heard from the trainer too )
i'll feel very happy that there's this person
who comes to visit whenever she can even when she's not obliged to(:
this extra care and concern would brighten up my day :D
so it's a win-win situation for them and for me (:
you never know how much you can make them happy just by your presence (:
that's what that has been keeping me motivated in returning back to SUN-DAC
whenever i can(:
i still remember that the main reason that made me decide on committing to SUN-DAC
was something i learnt from the YVIP 2007(:
volunteering for most people is only short term
like a one day CIP activity or a 2 weeks attachment
so the impact you leave on the clients is not deep
you can't really make a difference in their lives
but if you're committed and consistent in volunteering
and the clients see you regularly,
they will learn to accept you and recognize you
and thats when you have started to make a deeper impact on their life
(:
so i decided that i wanted to stay committed to SUN-DAC(:
i want to make a stronger impact on the lives of the clients(:
although i don't really have any capability to do so
but at least letting them know that i care would mean alot :D
i really love all the clients alot(:
it's hard to explain but even though i can't really communicate with them sometimes
but just watching them makes me feel very contented and happy(:
haha :)
oh and i got to see chong siang!(: <33
AND of course
the TRAINERS(:
aww:D i love them alot too
and they're one of the main reason for my return to sundac(:
christina, jon, nancy,wan halima,rena, tony, caroline! (:
<33>
they never fail to make me feel special (:
and i really appreciate the care and concern
and encouragement and faith they have in me(:
that i'll do well for my A levels(:
it really motivates me :D haha XD
I can't express how happy i am with them but i really treasure these ties(:
anw, after the sun-dac visit(:
i went sam's house for dance handover ceremony!;D
which was really really SWEET (:
haha :D i enjoyed myself there:) somehow watching all the juniors together makes me contented(:
haha XD
and the presents and notes that they prepared for us were really
WOAH (: damn touching :D:D
especially some of the notes(: really put a big bright smile on my face :D
im glad i have such wonderful juniors in Dance society
and im confident that they will continue to make dance society shine(:
thank you juniors(: LOVE YOU ALL ALOT :D
and jiayou always(: thanks for the support:D
haha XDits time to really buck up le!(:

hellloo(:
CTs 2009 are officially OVER. (=
happiness. (:
even though it's short - lived but still,
i love the feeling after exams(:
ever since my first exam( in pri school)
i always looked forward to that feeling of liberation :D
this CTs has been one hell of an experience
i was so super stressed over it , not to mention depressed too >.<
i swear that this is the first time i'm actually so depressed over studies...
kind of weird that it's this way
but the fact that it's this way indicates how much i have to work hard ....
using psychological warfare for this CTs
was just living in self-denial
pretending that i'm really going to test my confidence level
and how well i can do just based on confidence
well, but it was a good method(:
at least i survived all the papers.
but at the end of everything,
it was just a facade. a facade that everything's okay.
i don't reject facades but i don't like the responsibility that goes with it...
i realised that i'm a person who likes to live in self-denial
i don't like to give myself stress
i don't like to make myself unhappy or pissed off
so i try to think of everything in a positive way
or rather in a way that makes me feel better...
but i don't think there's anything wrong with that(:
i mean, everyone only lives ONCE
so might as well lead a happier life,
leave happier memories
and make others happy too (:
but, this time, i don't think i can afford to live in self-denial over my studies..
i want to break the vicious cycle.
which reminds me of the talk i had with wanglaoshi
somehow it was inspiring and motivating
maybe because what he said was more of the negative stuff
and coincidentally, i was feeling very negative too..
( NEGATIVE + NEGATIVE = POSITIVE :D )
so instead of feeling offended or anything, i was kind of amused by all the negative stuff he said to me(: kind of weird ehh but it was a good talk, something i really needed.
i know i can do better
i know that i have never done my best before
for studies.
i know i'm underachieveing
and the reason for it is because i'm lazy
lazy to give it my best
lazy to go through all the hard work
i always like to find short cuts
and worse still, after i find shortcuts
i live in self -denial and tell myself
that's my best..
ahh.. what a horrible attitude i have!
haiz. but okay lah(:
at least i'm willing to admit it
and hopefully that's a start(:
when people tell me how their CTs are screwed up
surprisingly, i don't have an urge to say that my CTs are screwed up
because i know that considering how badly i prepared for this CTs,
i actually did better than i thought(:
in the sense that i managed to finish all the papers - essays and stuff
okay except for maths ><
but yeaa. i thought i would die so horribly :(
so was rather relieved when i survived (:
BUT again, thats a facadeeeeee
because doing better than i thought i did
doesn't mean i did well :(
in fact after reflecting again about my CTs,
i suspect that my grades would be worse than promos last year.
ahhhh. i hope not but aiyahh
even if it is, i guess it's my retribution..
but i can still change.
i can still do it for Alevels!(:
i need the motivation and energy to continue
and i'm really grateful for everyone who has encouraged me , especially
for the period before CTs
i was feeling so super helpless but you all cheered me up . (:
its home based learning- aka holiday(:
a good time to rest
(:
but not rest too long lah :D
let's all jiayouu!(:

hello(:
2 more papers to go...
and these 2 papers consist of one of the hardest papers that im dreading >.<
HISTORY-SOUTHEAST ASIA PAPER .
argh. x_X
have been slacking ever since i came home at around 2pm
after lunch at bedok with jasmine(:
oh btw she said she felt like crying after seeing my birthday post for her :D:D
HEH. i have the ability to make people touched ehh XD muhaha :)
ANYWAY, im not supposed to blog now
because i said i want to blog after my CTs are over..
but something really meaningful just happened to me(:
and i want to blog it out before i forget:D
it started with my sudden urge to jog
because i was staring out of my window
and the weather was so nice(: the wind was so nice
and the air smelt so nice that something just told me to go out
jog and enjoy (:
which i did.
but the lazy me didn't do any warm-up
and i haven't jogged / exercised in ages >.<
so after i jogged, i went to buy dinner
at the place at joo chiat
the stall is run by a couple(:
everyone in my family likes the food they sell there:)
and so when i went there, i queued up to buy
at that time, i was feeling abit unwell and nauseous already
when it was my turn,
as i was choosing the food
my vision suddenly blurred until i couldn't see anything at all
was clearly on the verge on fainting >.<
i didn't want to faint so i quickly told the auntie to wait coz i felt like fainting
i went and sat down
and the kind uncle stallowner brought me a bowl of water
and gave me medicated oil (:
and he kept asking me if i was okay
and insisted that i rest for about half an hr
the auntie was also very nice (:
she told me about buddhist stuff and how to make myself feel better(:
although all these may be very simple gestures to anyone
but it really meant alot to me
especially since i was really on the verge of fainting
and i was really scared and helpless
my vision kept blurring and clearing and blurring again
it was kind of awful
so i really appreciated their kind gestures(:
for being there for me :D although i don't know them well(:
its the joy of helping others
that i see in them
(:
and im inspired(:
eventually , i got better :D
and although i thanked them,
i felt it wasn't enough to show my gratefulness
so im going to buy more food from that stall next time(:
as well as to thank them in my post(:
not that they will see this post
but just to show how grateful i am towards them(:
it makes me believe in the inspiring cycle of people
helping one another(:
and it makes me want to help more people
because i know the feeling of being helped
its a nice feeling :D
having people there for you in ur weakest moments(:
it keeps you believing and strong:D
THANK YOU!(:
sMILE(:
btw xiaojingteng new song very nice:D and his album's coming out soon!!<33
