"There is a reason, a time for every purposes under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted"
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2

I'm very upset on the demise of my beloved grandfather. He was affectionately know as yeye. My grandpa was a great man. Well the least that could comfort me was that he passed away peacefully, he died of old age. God gave me the gift of having a wonderful grandfather. He lived till a ripe old age. What else can I ask for? I dare say that I was one of his closest grandchild, or even closest one. Yeye and grandma stayed with my parents, brother and I for the first 11 years of my life. He decided he shoud move away when I was 11 because he thinks that I'm growing up and I should not be sharing a room with my brother.
When I was much younger, grandpa loved carrying me around. He walked me to preschool. Held my stubby little hands. Waited for the school bus to arrive and ensured my safety. He rubs my delicate tummy when I had bad tummyaches. When I accidentally knocked into the wardrobe, I always cry. When yeye asked me why am I crying, he'll hit and scold the wardrobe until I stop crying, just to please me. When I was a little much older, he loved calling me crazy girl and in turn, I called him crazy boy. We'll always have breakfast together at the nearby market, savouring our favourite food. Yes we shared the favourite food. When my brother was born and my parents were busy with my brother, he'd be there to take care of me. I chose to sleep with my grandparents instead of the air conditioned room with my parents.
The 5 day wake drained me out both mentally and physically and no doubt I had difficulty focusing because I was feeling tired yet restless, I tell myself, I'll be doing this for my grandfather. Yes it is quite a bad timing but God chose to press the activation button and there is he, up in heaven smiling at us.
Yesterday was the funeral and there was a service at church. He died a Roman Catholic. Dad gave an eulogy. I heard of his courtship with grandma and stuff. He was a romeo. Well, all good things come to an end. Although his death was pretty sudden, I have to learn to accept it. Yeah it was sudden. Just early that morning at 8, grandma was pushing grandpa in his wheelchair as they went for a stroll, and an hour after his bath, there he goes. i wouldn't mind giving an eulogy but I really didn't have the time to prepare the speech.

I would like to thank everybody for keeping my grandpa and family in prayer, especially classmates, and Weishi. Not many people know about this and I have decided to publicise this today.

Last but not least,
Yeye, I love you. Rest in peace

Oh no it's past 2 in the morning and I'm still awake. I'd probably screw up my biological clock.
Life at this period of time is so boring. But it's okay, cause I'm already counting down to freedom baby. I'll go have a nice tan with Shi before the Taiwan trip, or perhaps during the 7 day break I have, and we'll be fellow chindians. Wakeboarding too! And oh yes how can I forget the beach volleyball outing with pcs vb alumni. Omg i'm busy planning for the alumni thingy k and hopefully everything goes well :)
Anyway all the best to those playing in the under 16 tournament! Whoever reads this, get into top 4 okay! I miss playing u16 and sheesh, if not for my O's. I would have joined, knowing that it's my last year playing in the u16 :(
But nevermind I will make big bucks after O's by flipping scores for the tournament I HOPE THERE WILL BE ADEQUATE SLOTS FOR ME. Since I've paid a sum to be a membership of VAS, I should, all the more, seize the opportunity to be an official assistant or something hah.
Guess. Guess when was this taken.

OMGGGGGG I CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE CLEARED THE FIRST WEEK OF THE O LEVELS.
The papers were rather easyyyyyyy and that's because I think my school drilled us so hard, so hard that we thought that it was nothing much. I can officially burn my elect geography and Amath text booooook YAAAAAAAYYYY what joy! I don't mean I hate Amath, in fact I love it. Just that Amath revision is finally eliminated from my timetable hehe :)
And dang, Amath paper 2 was hard. The papers had really odd timings and English had to end at 7pm. Today was Emath paper 1 and Amath paper 2, and there was a break of 4 hours in between so I went to Chew's house to sleeeeeeeepppp because I was, and even now, running a fever and suffering from a badddd headache. The weather was nice and it was a nice time to sleep for the past few days. Apparently I have problems sleeping and could only sleep AFTER 4 in the morning.

Anywayz I want to watch Avenue Q, which is like the super corrupted version of sesame street. Omg who can go with me.

Revision's quite smooth sailing for chemistry even though I swear I'm 50 times better at physics and guess what, my first paper starts tomorrow.
I'm not even the least uptight or whatsoever despite the upcoming examinations in, ummm let's see... a day's time. Call me a freak? Am I abnormal? :O
While people are feeling so uptight and intense, I don't see the need to be so freaked out. Like I was in primary six, I got so nervous, so freaked out and during the examinations my mind went blank. I think I didn't do well, yup I didn't do well exceptionally well.
In about an hour's time I'll have to head to hougang for Amath tuition. I'm beginning to love Amath even more because I'm better at Amath recently. Probably it was because of the effective study sessions i have with LIMMMMM hahaha
And of course, not forgetting Gladys, Baohui and Lay ping. I have a whole list of itinery that I have yet to take action on. 25 days to freedom, and 29 days to Taiwan trip with teammates, and thereafter Hong Kong trip with family.

People say I look very different now as compared to the pictures taken when i was in sec2. I BEG TO DIFFER. Did i really change THAT much? :O

Sec2

sec4

I am prepared and satisfied with revision but I'm still scared. I've been drilling on my weaker subjects and nat have been coming over quite frequently to do Amath with me and gosh I think I'm improving :)
I'm missing lessons as usual because graduating from school makes me officially schooless for half a year :( I want school.


Flames to dust, lover to friends,
why do all things come to an end?
come to an end, come to an end?

Today was Graduation Day and it was kinda bittersweet.
I used to complain about my polka dotted skirt although I didn't wear it for 10 years. Going to town after school was a problem because everyone will be staring at our skirts and laugh their heads off but oh how I miss those times when we get our little getaways after school to chill out.
Yes I was strong and didn't cry but I was literally choked in tears but I didn't shed any k because big girls don't cry. I can't believe I've got that official 10 years of education and I feel old now. Having said that, O's is gonna commence in 6 days for me.
I want to take this time to thank my lovely class and everyone that made my secondary school life complete. I will miss the times when people made fun of me being a blonde, dancing and singing in class and going out with 4G.
Hmmmmm much nostalgia I'm feeling blueeeeeeeeee

I went for a haircut with Emma yesterday and my hair is short now.

Pictures with schoolmates will be uploaded soon I hope! Blogger is being a bitch so I'm having problems uploading em. Cya loved ones!

School's coming to an end so tomorrow will be my last two days in school.
Monday was probably the last time I ever said the school code.
Today's the last Tuesday I've spent in school.
Tomorrow's the last Wednesday, the day after next, the last of the last Thursday.
Call me sentimental shit but I think secondary school life is the most memorable phase in my life, as for now, I swear.
Hahaha who knows I might just cry during the graduation ceremony this Friday.
Anyway my last Tuesday in school was well spent with Emma and Baohui. Something really funny happened at the library while Emma and I were studying and gosh I MUST say it was really not expected and odd and weird and... But I kinda did saw that coming.
I'm eating my wasabi shaker fries now and it's burning the hell out of my tongue.
Hmmmm
And help.
Help.
Help.
What if I were to say I needed help in..........
I like keeping people in suspense. Ask me and I'm not oblige to tell :)

I am done....playing.
18 more baby. 18 days to the big one and 40 more days to freedom.
I want to run the race well :)
