School really, reaaaallly sucks.

I know it's only the third week of school but it's beginning to take a toll on me. Anxiety attacks have seemingly increased over the past three weeks.

2 weeks to e-learning week (I think) so I need to survive till then.

5 weeks to term break which means 5 weeks to Korea. 

13 weeks to the end of Year 1. 

Do I carry on or do I just give up?

:(

the cross before me
the world behind me
no turning back

83

I only have one post from Australia, and that's because I lost all my other photos and videos. I already had a video ready for upload but even before I could back up and upload anything, my hard drive died and I lost all of my photos from my trip. All I have are photos from my phone/mom's phone. 

I was upset, but I'm over it.

(hey, that means I get to visit all these places again :))

I LOVE WOMBATS!!!!!!!

82

I think being away from home is good for me. Away from the hustle and bustle of the crazy fast-moving life in Singapore. 

There is an unquestionable difference between life in SG and in Aust, because right now where I'm living in is about 10 minutes bus ride away from the City and it's really pretty quiet and peaceful...

Earlier on we (mom, sis, sis' friend, cameron and I) were having dinner at this pizza place just down the hill from where we live and there were barely any people at all. Like while eating there were only like 10 people that walked past us... (p.s. chewy/chewie [sis' friend's dog] is adorable)

Anyway back to my point. Pre-exams I was completely like worn out and unmotivated and I was crying almost every night but now I feel so happy and carefree, not only because exams and sem 1 are over but because I simply do not have to care about anything when I'm in Aust. I walk around without a care and I wake up and have nothing to bother about (mainly homework) but yeah I like being away from home. Just for awhile though.

I'll probably miss home by end of next week (ha ha ha)

Off to movieworld tmr, video from the previous days should be up soon...I hope

81

I'm baaack!

I've abandoned this space for awhile in the hopes of trying to stop blogging because I absolutely suck at it and my english is quite terrible (i think?)

Anyway, I've been really happy this week. I feel like this week has been my happiest week this year - maybe not the most fulfilling one but - it has been amazing... It's weird because 

1. I only spent 8 hours with my sister before she flew back home to Brisbane

2. sem exams are drawing nearer and nearer....

3. I didn't do much studying

still, this week made me unusually happy, maybe because there wasn't S&W on Monday.

ANYWAY

- started reading the gospels with becky and I think this ~arrangement~ is working pretty well (speaking of which I need to remind her to do it hahaha) 

- might go to Australia like a day after sem exams which is extremely rushed but yeah I'll be able to pack for a 3 week trip in less than 24 hours..... (yeah right)

- school has been less tiring, ironically

i think most of my happiness comes from the excitement that the sem is ending soon and i'll be getting my long break. but yeah i'm just glad my semi-depressing/cryfest nights are kinda over and i'm becoming more optimistic about things (aka school) 

ok updates soon i hope bbz

80

pretty worn out so quick one!!!

CTs are over, yay

went to Siloso for CG Connect today it was super duper fun (i luv ya team96) + Bailamos 2013, which was amazinnnnn thanks rach for asking me along ♡♡♡

                           

79

school is technically out for us poly kidz but we have exams this coming week so...yeah.

sat for the Stats CT this morning and it was pretty manageable so I'm satisfied :-)

went for breakfast at Sixth with Mom after, and then got home and finished 1.5 chapters for Econs. 

got really bored and took out camera (which I haven't used in ages) to take pictures of random things.

my poor uke (i'll play u soon bb)

to be honest
school really sucks now
it's not that I'm struggling (or maybe I kinda am..)
i just absolutely dislike going to school so much it's ridiculous

:"(

77

today was a crazy great day I don't know how to describe it properly.

went to meet becks and lin to study (+ david, he's always there anyway) and surprise surprise, jam appeared shortly after too!!! 

used her fisheye and spammed so many photos on our phones because mine isn't here yet :-(

 left at about 530 to go meet the CG + Amos' CG for CG Connect and it was super fun and hilarious and yeah I'm pretty sure everyone had as much fun and laughed as much I did. 

(no photos from dinner, probably gonna wait till someone uploads instead)

oh yes and went to meet Nas and Justin for like half an hour after leaving Star because they were bored at canoeing camp and called me to meet them so they snuck out of school and we just sat at the bus stop and chatted till they got a call to find out they were in pretty deep trouble (not rly) and they waited till I got a cab and went back into school. (that was a really long sentence)
 turns out they just got scolded but that was about it ahahaha no pumping whatsoever. 

today was a really good day. might be one of my favourite days I've ever had this year. 

76

first post since I switched my url.

school has been pretty hectic lately with all the projects and presentations coming all at one time, and with e-learning week coming, there's 2x the workload I'd rather not have e-learning week at all.

also, common tests are coming up in about 2 weeks? time has past so fast I'm not ready for the tests 

:"(

been sick for the past week, but felt so much better today so went to meet Jade for early dinner + ice cream (I know, what the heck am I doing eating ice cream when I'm sick)

we went to Kim's Family Restaurant (I think?) at Lorong Kilat and it was so so so so so goooood. the samgyupsal + ddeokbokki were really good and I'm so glad we found the place now we're gonna frequent it :-) 

we were like an hour early tho, so we found some Korean supermart and bought some ice popsicles, sat outside and melted in the hot sun. I exaggerate, but it really was so hot I'm pretty sure it was about 34-35degrees out.

anyway
some photos (and gifs)

 being weird (or just normal, to us)

 SAD KIDZ BECAUSE IT WASN'T OPEN YET 

"yay it's 5pm we can eat now!"

bumped into my uncle at KAP after, which was pretty hilarious and also just when I thought I was broke post-dinner, he shoved $xx into my hands after I told him I was gonna eat ice cream. So that left me shocked (and kinda happy)

So thankful the week ended on a high! 

75

wow I've hit 75 posts on this blog.

Time passes so quick and I'm about to start Week 4 in school, and school has been, well, school.

was already kind of stressed on the first week of school and now that we're entering the fourth week of school I NEED TO SAY THAT I HAVE SO MUCH WORK I FEEL SO SIAN EVERY SINGLE DAY AND NOW THAT I HAVE TRAINING ON MY 9AM DAYS (TUES AND THURS) EVERY THING ELSE JUST MAKES ME SAD

Loljk I just finished my DSS tutorial for this week and I spent close to half an hour doing CY4 which was really challenging and annoying and tiring. Excel is so hard to use with all these functions I'm learning. 

Still I am v thankful for ACEJJY I can bother and burden without them complaining, especially Jiajie u da best gurl even though you always scold me for the stupidest things and make me feel guilty about buying too much on taobao. I love taobao. I think it's my newest obsession, even though every thing is in Chinese. Whatever though, I appreciate the fact that everything is in RMB and I get to divide everything by ~5!!! 

Been thinking about changing my url, but I haven't thought of a nice one yet. If y'all have any suggestions please whatsapp/text me it PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Right now I'm (kind of) shopping on taobao and searching for a new font for my banner, but today I am lazy and refuse to make a new banner so maybe it'll be up by the weekend, idk.

OK I THOUGHT OF A NEW URL (it's already taken so I'm thinking of another one now sigh)

OK GOT ONE I AM NOW
alyments.blogspot.com
can't think of anything else.
new banner soon yay

74

having a really bad sore throat now, idek why

also realized that I have yet to show the world my braces-less teeth:

yes, i'm in my pjs 

photo with lin @ burger shack the other day 

week 2 is here and I'm not sure how I'm gonna survive, especially with 9pm dismissal on tues owellz

73

haven't been here in awhile, spent time catching up on life.

BAOC was last week and even though the first day made me feel pretty miserable, I'm thankful that the following two days went rather smoothly. 

School was supposed to start today but since Week 1 is tutorial free and I only have tutorials on Monday, I'm spending my last free day just settling the textbook issues and reading through lecture materials.

Kind of excited but worried for school to start tmr since 1) I don't know my classmates 2) I know some people in my course but I don't even talk to them so I'll probably be a loner during lecture tmr, but that's fine by me.

On to happier things, Becky planned for us (rach leah and I) to surprise Lin on Saturday and I would say it was kind of a success and I don't have photos on my phone and all but it was an enjoyable day I hope you had a great Lin ^~^ went to church after that and the video sermon spoke to me so much during response I was throughly overwhelmed and I think if I weren't around so many people I would've ugly-cried. Thankful for the CG <3 <3 <3

Anyway, I think this is the right time for me to properly admit that I'm afraid. I'm so afraid of what's to come after tomorrow happens, how my classmates will be like. The very thought of going into lecture tomorrow alone scares me. I think I've told some of my friends that I don't care if I make friends or not because I need to work hard and study anyway and I don't have to strive to fit in to people's wants and needs. Tomorrow is about to come, and I'll be okay. I hope.

da jia hao!!!

the past (almost) 2 weeks have been rather tiring. honestly, I don't know what I do that makes me so tired.

went for fun. on the 15th, it was freakin' amazing ugh Nate Ruess' voice ♡♡♡

oooooh yes, went shopping the other day and bought a top, grey skater skirt (that I'm absoutely in love with), a clutch and RED/MAROON CHUCK TAYLORS!!!! srsly was so happy when I tried them I HAD to get them they are so comfortable ^~^

chill day today, spent the day in bed nua-ing and catching up on PLL S2 

also found out that I have the ability to pop my shoulder back into place whenever I like?!? realized that a bone was jutting out on my right shoulder and it was hurting really badly so I decided to push it back and worked and then to test it out I repeated it like 4 times so currently I'm semi amazed and freaked out.

and since it's throwbackthursday (or flashbackfriday, since it's 12:54am)

here are some photos -

till next time.

urge to blog because i'm way too bored but I have no pictures to post at all...

bought my laptop this week! pretty pleased with it because its light (yessss) and it's super fast and Windows 8 kinda frustrates me but I'm slowly getting used to it. 

also this week has been pretty eventful, Monday was Mom's birthday, met up with old teammates on Tues, went to NP on Wednesday to get my laptop, and I don't remember what I did on Thursday at all, went to the doctors' on Friday to get meds and cream for my allergies.

watch!!!!! 

70

I know I said I might delete this space, but just feel like I need somewhere to write things down. Anyway so I think about a week back? I bought 2 new books, An Abundance of Katherines and Best of Me but I haven't got down to reading them yet because...I'm lazy even though I'm completely free and just being a slob. Should really start on them soon though.

Anyway, my enrolment package came a few days ago and honestly I was so excited to receive it but when I went thru the whole folder of things I had to do I was completely overwhelmed because there are too many forms to fill up, too many deadlines to meet and dates to remember. I was kinda annoyed because I wanted to accept my offer immediately (in case I forgot, somehow) but NO. I'm only able to accept it from the 6-8th of March. Also, the flyers for the purchase of my new laptop came today and I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so (can go on and on) bummed that I have to use a Windows-based laptop. Not that I hate Windows, I'm just attached and used to my Mac...

I'm completely torn in between Fujitsu or HP but I think I might end up with the Fujitsu because it's so light and fast and yeah but a little pricey but oh wellz.

might get the instax mini 8 soon. or some navy converse chuck taylors which I've been wanting.

miss stmargs.

post #69 

i haven't done much these past 2 weeks or so, just been catching up on PLL (finally at S2), hanging out with my sis and cam (might do a cover!!! but might not have enough time so) 

bought 2 boxes of instax film on impulse today, they were going for 2 boxes for $17.60, so what the heck! besides, gonna meet my SA homiez on Tuesday so I'll probably use the film then!

just chillin' in my owl pjs and squishing my Alyphant.

till next time.

68

life has been rather mundane lately, friends have all started school and I have nothing to do.

have been playing tennis, bowling and mario kart on the Wii two days straight and my arm and butt ache (bowling gives me a real good workout, yeah right) 

things that I look forward to now that I am starting to Wii more often:

1. improving my skill levels on both tennis and bowling (the other day, I bowled 5 strikes in a row *grins like a fool*)

2. placing first on mario kart

that's how much of a loser I am now that I have so much time in the world sighpie.

but anyway, today I decided that I will finally put up photos on my wall because my room is a little boring right now and I'm going to print photos tomorrow before I meet Esther for lunch (before the Fairfield game)

also thinking of deleting this space, because I don't feel like updating it anymore but we'll see.

67

wassup

really gonna try and save up for the instax mini 8 in pink, and hopefully use some of my cny money because the instax is so pretty and I just want it pretty badly but I guess if I don't ever get I don't really mind because...there are more important things in life.

so excited for the coming week, BNO with Leah and Lin TRIPLE L WHAT UPPPPP yeahyeahyeahs/vamp weekend/band of horses aaahhhh.

kinda wanna go back to Australia, hopefully I'll get to go again before school starts in April, and I'm excited for school to be completely honest. 

spending so much time not doing anything isn't very good for my health and well I'm sooo bored :"(

anyway, I watched Hart of Dixie everyday when I got back and now I am too fast and I hate waiting for a new episode every week....

just really want school to start because I am excited for this new phase in life, even though I'm the only one in 456 not going to SA or AC (i really am gonna miss you guys so so so much), and I'll be alone in a new environment, it's okay, I'll make new friends and have fun anyway. maybe i'm kinda sad that my school term is gonna be really odd compared to everyone else and stuff but I know in the end I'll be okkkk.

i'm hungry. bye.

66

hellooo!

haven't been posting in awhile, but here I am trying to make up for it anyway. 

been back from Melbourne since Saturday, it was a really good trip and I just wanna go backkkk even though the weather is so annoyingly erratic. It was nice to see cousins I haven't seen for 7 years (wow) and now Eugene's going to Uni and Meimei is going to high schooool already aaahhh. 

Ate a lot of good food, shopped a lot (DFO/chadstone/westfield i love you), meeting up with family friends, WATCHING THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN (murray, li na, FEDERER, sharapova, baghdatis, almagro) woohoo I wanna go backkk but I'm also kinda glad to be home. oh and yes, stupid story: Jie and I recorded a whole bunch of shows we were gonna miss for the whole week, but we switched off the mains for the TV AND SCV and on the second day my mom recalled and was like "eh if you switched off the mains how will the box record" Instantly, Jie and I were like shit and I was so grumpy but it's all cool because they were airing repeats over the weekend, but yeah, stupid much.

didn't take much photos on my camera since I'm far too lazy and most of my photos are from AO2013 and Jie took the other photos. 

 

^ Highlights of Day 1 + 2!

Went to USS today with 456, it was the best experience ever and my throats hurts like crazyyy but it was really the best. i love you all :-)

 

more photos from Becky to come!!!!
