| Yesterday was graduation day. It was supposed to be emotional but that wasn't really how it was because we still had mass lectures before that. Anti-climax i say. It marked the end of my four-year journey in Crescent and i must say, i am really going to miss every bit of the school and our culture, from our CRESCENT cheers to birthday songs that are uniquely CGS!. Well...i'll miss the people most of all. our awesome teaching staff who are so dedicated they are willing to have consultations with us all the time. How about they force those who don't approach them for help? I'll miss running along the corridors from class to class, smacking my friends as I meet them while walking, texting in the toilet, fleeing when we see the Discipline Mistress round the corner. not like I have attire related problems but just to....avoid Dcom people for the sake of it(: very thrilling. Most of all I'm really glad I haven't had detention before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had such wonderful memories in the school they'll be ingrained in my brain for eternity(: there've been ups and downs, like when i curse the school for the insane amount of work we're piled with. but afterall, it's for our own good=) I'm reminiscing now already. I'll miss the rotunda, running round and round shouting each others' names from each level, the Millenium classroom for privileged kids like Amundy, michelle and I, scribbling on our teachers' tablets and surfing the net illegally during class, lugging heavy tablet pcs to school, mass run twice a week, PE lessons that exhaust you and make you perspire to no end but put a smile on your face, arguing with teachers in class, running down to the canteen for recess, playing catching up Mount Crescent after recess and scrambling to our classes when the recess bell rings, daring each other to do things, prank-calling, choreographing dances with people, singing the school song, going to Town afterschool and being Tanglin Kids. I'll never forget the best friends I've made in school and my clique, the random boob-grabbing perverse creatures and the oompa loompas, the rice;the bean;the shell;the bird;the twin;the genius, the crazy nut and the list goes on.
I'm so glad i came to this school and i really thank God for placing me here because it has molded me into who I am today and this is where i've spent a quarter of my life. I'll never trade my time here for anything because the crescent experience is just priceless! I love the school spirit and the enthusiasm (which is only absent when we sing the national anthem), skipping sex-ed and motivational talks to STUDY. not forgetting the freedom we have: that of an all-girls school. Not having to care about boys at all (something i'll miss) and changing in class.
all in all, although my life in Secondary 1 was a living hell thanks to our form T, my friends turned it all around(: the class of 2009 is the best batch!!!!!! maybe nostalgia will set in after prom(:
anyway, prayer walk today was (Y) i love my Jesus<3<3<3 and church!!!!

| Prelims are over and guess what we have in store for us as post exam activities? Mass lectures and more mass lectures. Awesome. i'm so excited. On the brighter side, career day seems pretty exciting and it's something to look forward to i guess?excluding boring talks if there are going to be any. Social grooming and dining etiquette course sounds quite laughable heehee.
Life is treating me well, yes it is! Youth Alive 2009 was (y) and i love the design ministry:) O levels are like cumulonimbus clouds looming in the near distance. Dreading it or not, i'm not even sure myself! I'm trying not to make a big deal out of it because this is one mere hurdle, and in time, i'll face so many more obstacles this would probably be insignificant in comparison. I'll give my best shot. 
14 school days left before graduating. I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia already. unbelievable how attached i am to the school already!! by the way, my OCD handwriting habits are weirding people out. HAHA Live with it!!
p/s: Before you grumble about how lucky I am think about whether you guys want a hand like mine. Do you? just...Think. don't get on my nerves, really. Your time management during your exams has nothing to do with me. At all. so don't compare.

| i'm really tired of being disappointed time and time again after keeping my hopes up. gone are the halcyon days of yesteryear. A time machine would really come in handy.
why do i allow myself to cry over an idiot whom i no longer recognize?

| I'm in the midst of my prelims and all I can say is that it's been pretty smooth-sailing so far, but i could be wrong because sometimes i tend to be a tad complacent. today's Emath paper was nothing short of a killer paper, seriously. but thank God i survived. I couldn't tolerate having to hunch over a table, scribbling away furiously for a good two hours like my life depended on it. I'm so exhausted by the sudden influx of revision papers and my room is a shambles and i've got books piling up everywhere. When life sends shit your way all you can do is to bite the bullet because what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. and of course, pray. Eug showed me an article about Jaycee Lee Dugard. Today i watched a tear jerking video about little Eliot who suffered from Trisomy 18. Every now and then we need to count our blessings and i really thank God for all I've got and i don't ask for more. We're so fortunate we don't realize it. I guess no matter how imperfect our lives may seem from our own perspectives, our lives can't be worse than theirs. While others struggle and battle death, here we are complaining about homework. All of a sudden homework seems to be an invalid excuse or reason, it seems so insignificant as compared to what others are going through. I'm not going to let my years of education go down the drain.
Eug: there's always next time:) i understand why your mom would feel this way and i respect her decision but cheer up about today. Love you x 10^12 (tera, i think)
