2010
Everyone's doing summaries of 2009 and resolutions for 2010 and i guess i got influenced and felt like doing one too!
Summary of 2009
Well there were good things and along with it came the bad... but overall it was a great year! Of course there was the crazy mugging which i DON'T want to relive. It was fucking frustrating for me because... i don't like studying. I can never imagine a period of time where i studied consistently (as in, everyday). Except maybe for maths for PSLE (and yeah i got an A* for it! My maths was lousy as hell previously). For EOYs and MYEs for the rest of my secondary school life... I never really studied hard. For MYEs i rarely studied at all -.- For EOYs... I studied but I never really took it seriously at all. :\ But what's ironic is that I think that my results for school could actually exceed the grades i get for O levels. No, i am not geigei-ing, i really do think so. I guess i'll know in Jan. But while it was seriously motherfucking horrid, studying was a substantial part of my 2009 and i guess i gained a little self-discipline from that ;)
I got closer to my family. Life lessons from Dad, getting pampered by him too *hehe shopping trips!*, admiring my mother even more than before, and realising that my sisters were even awesomer than last year. (of course we did quarrel but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger) Of course i'm grateful to Bicky for being there as always too :) The three dogs get cuter year by year too yeah!
I learnt to treat my friends better... or at least i think i did. Well, even if it doesn't seem like i treat you guys any better... I'm really trying to be a better friend to you guys! You people are too awesome! :) Maureen (whom i've grown closer to over the holidays), Shihui, Jasmine, Mengxuan! :)
But hey i've made new friends yeah! People whom i had never really spoken to before... Like Pearleen, Eileen, etc. (etc. because i can't believe i only made 2 new friends! I refuse to believe it! but whatever i can't think of any lor.. so 2 it is. At least got right ;D) We aren't exactly very super good friends anw but hey i think we're friends :)
Of course there were old buddies. Ok actually only old buddy. I'm surprised i actually even met up with Zhiyu this holidays... even though we do talk in MSN and stuff we're not the closest, and we drifted away so much in the year of 07/08... so yeah i appreciate the friendship we still have :) As for Natalie i don't really speak to her anymore. ok it sounds like we turned to enemies but no it's because we drifted a lot a lot apart and i think i can count on one hand how many times i've interacted with her this year, haha!
And i did drift a lot apart from Umme, i think it happened in '08 anyway but... i remember her as a really good friend in sec 1 and 2 (:
Hopefully in the years to come, i'll make new friends but be able to keep the old ;) And there'll be more memories worth keeping like the last day of school when we went for sushi and played truth or dare in the middle of the parade square till late. It makes labouring over jotting all these down in my diary worth it. (Ok i didn't exactly write it down in my diary. But i will!!! It was one of the best, if not THE best memory i've had of my secondary school life.)
I also learned some lessons... Don't let people direct your life. You're the author, you make the decisions, not others. Don't even let yourself get the chance to be influenced by their opinions if it's YOUR choice to make. (Ok obviously when you're shopping they say the other colour nicer or something you don't say all this to them lah -.-) Another thing is that if it's worth it, fight for it. Don't give it up just like that because... 2 years down the road you might just regret it and it would've been too late by then. :)
Still, I guess I gotta say this -- I am a fortunate girl.
2009 was fucking fantastic. 2010? bring it on!
Resolutions for the year 2010
1. Get a clear idea of what i'm doing in life.
2. Keep all my old friends along with getting some new ones :)
3. Not making any stupid mistakes i might end up regretting
4. Treat my parents better
5. Treat everyone better
6. Read more
7. Grow to be more independent
8. Be more self-disciplined
That's all! I hope in 2011 i will look back at this list, cross everything off and exceed my own expectations!! (ok that's kinda ambitious... but a girl can hope!)
May 2010 be a great year for all :)

Roar
I know i said i switched to wordpress.
I am officially switching back.
Just had this sudden urge to make a blogskin after 2 years of not touching photoshop. This is the end result... Not very happy with it actually. Sucky border (what the heck is that colour i want BLACK!!! but im too lazy to try and fix it now LOL) and the whole blogskin is so typical and isn't really that nice at all... plus i realised that i have like ZERO brushes now!!
okay going to thailand tml till weds midnight (ok, thurs) ~~ EXCITED! SHOPPING (:

Haiz 7 days more to o levels. I am losing steam. As if I had a lot of motivation in the first place. I don't know what to do to motivate myself. I see everyone else working so hard and I am sure my results will largely pale in comparison. I need to study! Can someone motivate me :( damnnnnnnnnnnnn. Doubt I will even get ten points for Os. Do I even dare to aim for a single-digit l1r5? Everyone is aiming for temasek, Anderson and other relatively well-known jcs and i know, without a flicker of doubt that they will surely make it. Even if I was aiming for a jc, I doubt I can do it. I was so sure of an a1 when I first dropped to combined science, because everyone said that it was easy to get. But looking at things now, can I even get an A? Plus, English... What about my other r4? A math? Please. I barely passed for prelims. I heard someone even got full marks!
Whatever. I'll leave it up to fate. I need to go bathe (smelly) and do my Anderson a math paper 2 instead of whining here like some useless loser.

Hey hey hey! I realised I haven't been blogging since 21 august... Which, by the way, is freaking long ago. More than a month ago! Anyway I just lost touch with blogging (it's the laziness, people) but I decided I'll just do a quick update.
1. I decided to retake my Chinese Os
2. Graduation ceremony was fun! I can't believe we took a 203 class photo.
3. I wish graduation night was held in a better hotel. Heard that there's like a sex shop at the front there or something. Talk about being subtle.
4. Shihui doesn't wanna go for grad night :(
5. I am freaking tired. I have been sleeping for only 5-6 hours every night. I know that there are a lot of people out there who sleep less and complain less but anyone who knows me knows that I can't survive with so little sleep...
6. Yesterday, the head of the living room fan fell off and creates a mega huge racket. Every single member of my family woke up while I happily snoozed away. HL thought it was another earthquake. HY is amazed that I slept through that.
7. 20-odd more days to the big fat motherfuxing Os. I am working harder, but not ad hard as I should be. I'm worried and I don't want it to come. At the same time I can't wait to get it over with.
8. I got a b4 for my english. I don't want it to jeopardize my l1r5 in Os!!
9. I got a 17 for my l1r5.
10. The recent e and a math mock exams have been encouraging!!!! :) but everyone can do it, so judging by cumulative frequency, I'm probably not in the higher quartile.
11. I am smelly and need to go bathe.
12. I need to work on my humanities, it's getting suckier.
13. What is happening to me??
14. I'm sick. Not in the mind, I have flu. And cough. And sore throat. I just ate kfc.
15. I got a new phone! iPhone 3gs. It's not the best phone out there, and it's actually not as good as my previous phone (Sony Ericsson xperia) in terms of functions and everything, but I love it esp. Games and memory. 32gb!
So that's fifteen random facts. I am going to bathe in two minutes. I'm gonna work on my humanities, and maybe physics ( my suckiest subject). I am happy with my chemistry, but I know I can get an a1 for it!!!!
Ok that's one minute left before bath time. Ok now none. I need to go!! Lazy to reply tags, hi to everyone thanks for tagging (if you're even reading this)
