phew. the long weekend was a well-needed break.
had some time to think things over and rest,
and thankfully i've made up my mind about some decisions.
looking back, however brief, i think that i'm such an immature person.
especially when it comes to those issues.
and it really sucks, because you want so hard to change but you find that you can't.
but ahwell, what's done is done.
i can't change anything, the facts of life are as such.
i've accepted it and its time for me to move on. (:

alright! last week totally ROCKED.
because it was a reeeally short school week, consisting of only 3 school days!
then thursday was labour day, and friday a break for the musical, and saturday was SRJC's very own musical!
i need more of these long weekend breaks, man.
they help maintain my sanity.

anyway, my parents left for bangkok last wednesday for 4 days, leaving me home alone (with my maids and grandmother)!
so it was like haven for me. :D
went for dinner with some of the rocmoc people after training on wednesday at hougang mall,
and dear ol' TAN SWEELENG came over to say hello!
LIKE OHMYGAWD I MISSED HER SO MUCH!
seeing her just brought back all those lovely fond memories of the good old blue/grey-clad days in Cedar.
spent some time, albeit short, trying very hard to catch up with each other's lives!
ahhh leng, no matter how long i still won't have had enough!
i miss you too much lah.
when it was time to go (the mall security guard escorted us all out), i bid farewell to the rest.
leng accompanied me to the mrt station, and we said our goodbyes.
i was sooooo reluctant to leave!
because that little 'reunion' was so hard to come by, and others would probably be even harder, with our ever-so-hectic JC lives.
but that brief meet up with leng really meant so much to me.
it was so good to see an old friend again, after so long. <3

labour day!
i woke up at 3pm.
broke my old record of waking up at 1pm!
ahaha i'm so proud of myself. :D
had nothing planned for that day so i kinda bummed around the house and finished up my final draft for PI.
then i bummed around the house even more and wasted the day away.
felt good, man!
okay, so i admit i could've done something more conductive like catching up with my school work.
but heck, it was labour day!
my brain deserved the rest. hahah.

friday!
went to school at the normal school time to submit my stupid PI..
can you imagine, waking up at 6am just to go all the way to school to submit a bloody PI?!
and everyone else in SR was still tucked comfortably in bed.
ah heck. the things we do for our beloved (cough) PW teacher.
reached school really early! (somehow the roads seemed emptier, and so did the bus)
went to boulder while waiting for my teacher to set up base in the concourse.
it was lovely, the gym was empty, save for a dying dragonfly, and it was so peaceful!
finally a time where i could boulder with no one around.
stupid ahtoot came to bug me after awhile and we spent dunno-how-long waiting for the mad crowd of people to thin out before finally managing to hand in our PIs.
went to kovan macs with ahtoot for breakfast and sat with lynn and grace.
but they left soon after and ahtoot and i had fun chatting.
my mood was spoilt because of some disturbances half-way, though.
but never mind i soon forgot about it.
went back to school to try and study but ended up only doing two GP compre questions..
then i left to meet mel tay and mel koh at yishun.
yes, we were going climbing at yishun safra! like finally. after so long!
we kinda digressed but started climbing at around 2 plus.
and the best part, we had the gym ALL TO OURSELVES!
it was way cool because we could make as much noise as we wanted!
so we proceeded to run around the upper level and played add-on.
i also completed 2 rounds from left to right.
felt really good, with no stress from others.
the 3 of us had loads of fun and i reeeeally enjoyed myself tremendously.
met up with sab and chris at PP's tau huey shop before going for dinner at the coffee shop nearby.
and i finally met sab's bobo twin.
he's funny. and its so cute because he and jerome were best friends in secondary school!
how cute.
anyway, sab and chris came back to my place after that and we had fun catching up with one another!
sab stayed over for the night and chris went home.
puay, sue may, adriel and alvin stayed over with boon for the night too, and it was so funny.

saturday!
i was sab's barbie doll in the morning.
but thanks to her i went for the musical looking rather good!
i'm sure she had a ball of a time playing with my mum's make-up on my face. haha.
and i still can't get over the fact that my mum has cooler clothes than me. ):
anyway, met up with lynn, ahtoot and half of the guys in my class before the musical..
initial plan was to have brunch!
but i was kinda late so we just went straight to RP.
okay so we reached there..met up with people..socialised.. and settled down in the auditorium.
well the musical isn't that great, the storyline's really cliche.
heck, even i can come up with a better script.
but ohwell, i applaud SR for its effort.
overall the outing was enjoyable.
the SYF dance rocks though!
i really love it.
and that j2 dancer! whoo, totally HAWT. :P
went to plaza sing with the rocmoc people after the musical, supposedly to watch iron man but there were no more tickets..
so we ended up eating at the food court and wandering around aimlessly.
which got really boring after awhile.
after awhile everyone split up and mel koh, rai and i continued to wander around.
we left at 9plus and i met boon to go pick my parents up from the airport.
had supper there and went home.

well, its back to the normal school week now.
sad.
had biology SPA today too.
hope i did well. :/
oh, and i ran my 2.4km run today!
at 630 in the morning lol.
running early in the morning does wonders!
i completed the run in 13min 55s!
like racheltan does NOT run 2.4km that fast!
its been years since i ran that timing.
i think the last time i clocked 13mins plus was when i was in sec1!
haha yeah, and so i improved from 15min 20s to 13min 55s within 3 months.
cool, huh.
i really have God to thank!
i alone would not have been able to do such a feat.
i will shout Your fame! (:
