over the edge

choir camp was seriously draining every single cell of my brain
and yet, i can honestly say that i throughly enjoyed myself(:

it was kind of an escape from the crazy situation at home...where i have just been crowned 'the laziest pig'. cos my sisters claim i've done the least clearing up work-.-



fine. but that's cos, i'm a BUSY person. anyway, even if iwere to put in my effort, they would prob have to redo the entire area again...which was what happened last night....when i attempted to help out. and failed.


YIKES! they said my room is to be PINK. what happeneddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm being chased away now by 2 irritating time-keepers-.-

dropping out my battery

haha(:
wanted to put up some long forgotten pictures. BUT the battery of this weird fujitsu laptop goes down like way way way too fast.

fujitsu people! do you hear me?

Messy, Messy, MESSY!

MY house looks like a warzone








Back to packing. an unsurmountably impossible task.

In moderate portions

Like i even know what i'm doing here.
you know how it's like. it's the holidays! you want to relax.
but at the back of your mind lingers the thought that, MAN! i have homeworl to do!

HOMEWORK. i hate that word. I hate it, hate it, hate it!

haha(: the typical student in me is screaming.
no no, but eunice is not typical. she thrives on being different.
and hence, she's going to start her homework.

好的开始，是成功的一半！

heh. my chinese computer thing is working! haha. let me attempt to conversate in chinese(:

这个假期，我希望自己可以作一点有用的事！
既然已经下定决心了，我是不会那么容易放弃！

haha. okay, no head no tail. I can't really tell what that was al about(:
i think i have a future as a translator! haha

senior's farewell is coming soon. oh, the STRESS of it all!
i can hear the clock ticking and mocking me. it's like telling me:" you have no time, you have no time!"
:(

that said, this year has been a most delightful year, thanks to al my friends and classmates.
seriously, i think everyone in stone17 knows that if not for the class, NJ would be the most dull and boring place on earth.
well, the fact is, it IS dull and boring,
but at least, we have each other to gripe and complain about it!
haha. and we're not the class that rushes off to mugg. and for that, i'm glad.

eunice is thinking. she is thinking that the world would be a better place if everyone would just be less selfish. including herself. i guess we can't help but be selfish. but if only we could try to put others ahead, just considering others by a bit, it would really make the world a friendlier place.

If only, we could all smile at the stranger that we walk past, instead of living in our own private cocoon, the world would smell even sweeter(:

thats a whole lot of Ifs. but the planet is like on this road to disaster, cos we haven't been doing these things. and i'm afraid that even if we were to start today, it might be a bit too late to save the world we call our own.

its like what i wrote for the essay MK asked us to write: the world in 50 years time.
"WHAT WORLD?"

it's like, would there still be a world in 50 years time? if so, what kind of horrid place would it be?
i'm not being pessimistic, i guess when we come face to face with reality, we can choose 2 paths to take. either we be falsely optimistic and keep on believing that everything will turn out just fine, or we accept God's punishment for a sinful and disaster-bound world.

that said, I'm not giving up hope! I'm merely stating what i believe to be true. and if i know all these, so what? am i going to give up on life? hello, no way! I believe we should live to the fullest. to the best. to impact this world, even if we know that the destiny is not going to change, we can at least try to make things a bit better. we can at least enjoy the earth that God has given us, until it's time for him to take it back. than we know that his plan hasbeen fufilled. and if his plan is fufilled, than we have no doubt that it must be a good one!

the thing is, do we trust him that he knows whats best?



can't wait for class BBQ! bong bong! faster plan(:

Ignoble, Infamous, Irresistable.

I need something useful to do.

Like seriously, soon.

For those who actually have heard me gripe about this, I'm a person-in-action kind. I NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!or at least, something to do. restlessness is not my buddy.

speaking of buddies, yunjie has just flown the coop to vietnam! The land of smiles.
no, wait. that's thailand. i've never professed to be a geog expert.

hmmm. I feel like i'm wasting my time, when i could be out there saving the world or somethign.
or at least find something useful to do, which totally does not include HOUSEHOLD CHORES!
I want to learn dancing(: like some cool exotic dance. like the flamenco. unfortunately, coaches and instructors are rare in singapore. though allicia has agreed to go with me, ONCE i've found a trainer-.-

that in itself is a difficulty.

i want to learn a language too...maybe i should pick up on the hebrew that I've been procrastinating. Unfortunately, i get bored easily. and language study requires a whole chunk of patience which... no, i'm not going to say i don't have it. all i'm goin to say is that it is still being developed in me. like, 'eunice the patient' under progress kinda thing.

maybe i should fill my time with choir stuff....NAH. I'm ALREADY filling my time with choir stuff.. it's like taken control of my hols. "hey eunice you wanna go out?" "nope, sorry got choir!"
not that i'm not enjoying it. there must be something else i can do for a change...


this is one totally bored person talking. and I have TWO MONTHS of holidays! that I do not want filled with HOMEWORK, REVISION, or HOUSEHOLD CHORES.
maybe a bit won't hurt though. but i really should learn to relax....

Are we safe yet?

Just watched this really cool documentary about viruses and epidemics.
It's like, after all the world has been through, we're still facing more and more problems!

It's like, after salvaging the final bits of a disease or virus, suddenly, we find ourselves having to fight against something else that may be a hundred times more devastating and more destructive than what we have just eradicated.

It makes people stop and think, when will this all end? when will we finally be safe?

Not yet, not ever, apparently.

I'm quite glad that Obama won. Only thing i'm afraid is that the higher the hopes, the greater the disappointment. While I'm pretty sure that he is a fresh breath of air to the Americans, I guess we can only know for sure if he is more beneficial than his predecessor, in a few years time, when his policies actually come into place.

woohoo. this is a pretty serious post.
as my mum would say, one of my 'essays'. but then again, everyone has their serious days when they take stock of the world.

since I can't voice out my opinions due to the missing four teeth in my mouth, I have a lot more time on my hands to think(:
that probably accounts for this almost meditative spirit of mine, on world issues.

My sis' O levels are almost over. Can't believe that not too long ago,I was taking my O levels too.
This year has really gone by, way way way too fast.
I'm not really ready for 2009, but I guess I'll have to be, since it's coming, whether I'm ready or not!

AND. I'm proud to say that the gunners have fought with the men of United, and have PREVAILED! hahaha(:

Gone, Gestate, Gemuck.

my four wisdom teeth are GONE! I shall continue to add on to my previous post(:
changed my mind. too lazy!

Escalated, Enchanted, Eulogy.

Humans are so complex. Life is such a puzzle. When we think we know the world, we find that all we really know is but a drop in a vast ocean.

That's why, I'm extremely thankful that my life is in God's hand.
I have this distinct impression that should I be the one in control of my life, it would definitely be in one huge mess.

I'm not emo, even though the emo bug is going around again(:
I have the pesticide against it- sonia yap, who will so totally smack me hard if i ever turn emo.
No, eunice the happy-go-lucky girl is just being PENSIVE.
there is a distinct difference, yeah?

the year is coming to an end, perhaps thats the reason behind the pensivity...
it's like towards the end of the year, there is always the season for thanksgiving, for regrets, for dreams...

or maybe, it's cause i'm going for my surgery on friday, and I'm scared something goes wrong.

or maybe, it's because i'm an extorvert by personality... so, I depend a lot on people to derive my energy. as the personality test thing says-.-

So, here are my 'dues', whatever you want to call it. These are the people who have made 2008 SUCH a fun and memorable year...and these are the people who are an important part of my life.

my family...
my mum, for being my pillar of support, even though the support was not shown in the ways I wanted to see, I know that she always has my best interests at heart, and I need to trust that God will guide her as to how best to raise us kids.
my dad, for being so available to talk to me, and for making me feel important and loved and well cared for. I'll always remember the afternoon jogs, not just for the exercise that we had, but also for the invaluable life lessons dispensed along the way.
my sis, Elaine. for being so sensitive to people around her and the things that are happening, and for not being hesitant about pointing out to me mistakes in my life, and areas that I could have been more tactful in. I've learnt a lot.
my sis, Emily. for being the adorable but annoying child to spruce up our lives. for always being so ready with affection, even on days when I am the hardest to love, you always have the right dose of love to dispense.

my sparkers sistas
Untip, for loving us as your own daughters and having the courage to roll around the floor laughing as though you were twenty years younger. and we know that in your heart and ours, you are.
Diana, for being there as a listening ear, and as the matured older sister who knows whats right to do and isn't afraid to tell it.
Kel, for working your way into our hearts, and for showing us how we are capable of loving and caring for others, putting their needs above our own.
Angela, Audrey, Bel, (sorry I'm lumping you guys together) for being so nice and open, even though i know it's difficult to step out of your comfort zones, you guys make me feel welcomed(:
Wenx, for being the best call-on-the-phone person I can ever find. for the long sporadic talks we have over the phone, even though it's not really very often(:
Debbie, for being comfortable enough to be yourself and to be that quiet calm partner of mine who is rational during the times I'm not.
Jun, for welcoming my 'intrusion' into your life(: for opening up to me and allowing me to be your friend, when it could have been so easy to retreat into a corner.
Jeanette and Vic, for being so hardworking and yet still coming for SS lessons, and still managing to sneak in periods of studying(:

for my FB mates
Clarissa, for taking 852 with me, even though you don't actually have to wait. for loving Mcfly and being so totally uninhabited in your 'singing'. If i may call it that...
Eunice2, my beloved evil twin, for being so honest with me all the time, for cheering me up when i am down, and for letting me cheer you up when you are down. for always giving a hug, whenever i need one.

Allicia, for being so open with me, sharing with me your thoughts and feelings, even though I'm rushing around most of the time and don't have time to hear you out, you still have time for me.
ChienSiang, for trying not to emo most of the time when FB goes out(:
HaoCheng, for LEAVING us and going to america.get on the next plane back man!

Jocelyn, for encouraging me with your very presence! your aura just totally calms me down(: you've been a great support, and your faithfulness is simply wonderful, for lack of a better word.
Dian Feng, for kidding around, for always having something funny to say, even if you don't realise how funny it is. and for not realising that whenever you say that something is funny, it never really is. oh, and for being more of a girl than most girls(:
Eugene, for always reminding me how serious this world actually is, and that a food shortage that could be on the horizon is going to severely affect all of us. and for being the customary mugger.

for 08S17
ERM. i just realised that my class has a lot of people. TOO MANY. I'll write some, and then i'll fill in the rest at a later time(:
yunjie, for being the one who understands my issues, for always teasing me, but knowing just when to back off. for the looks we give each other, before we burst into laughter, knowing exactly what the other person is thinking about.for being the final puzzle piece in the trio that always makes my day a happy one.
Jeaness, for not knowing that you can get a little louder than normal people until rehearsing for OP, for playing 'barber' so many times it's stuck in my head(:
Nana, for being the lovable bundle of energy you are, and yet, unusually calm enough to grouse with me about certain members of our teaching staff.
Suenli, for being the mascot of NJ117 and not complaining, and still being so nice to everyone, even those you don't really like. and for showing us that it is possible to like everyone(:
Jadeng, for being my GG, the girls with the good genes, and taking everything that life throws at you in your stride. atta girl!

doujiang, for being the best guy friend, a girl could ever ask for. not too gossipy, not too macho-ist. just nice.and for taking 852 with me, the long treacherous journey to and from school(:

Animated. Ancient. Appealing.

Deepavali's over! soon christmas will be HERE.
soon, i'll be E.I.G.H.T.E.E.N! (: man, i feel so OLD.
but that's okay. I'm matured

anyway, i had a lovely deepavali holiday, with eunice2 and clarissa and sonia,
MUSEUM HOPPING!
cos Singapore Heritage Board had some sort of open day for all it's museums, so I thought it would be quite cool to go pay the relics at the National Museum a visit.
then. clarissa was a bit more ambitious.

" Why not go ALL lah!"

_.- yeah. so, we decided to trek the entire stretch of museums.

obviously, we failed. eventually, we only made it to 3 museums-.-

first stop, NATIONAL MUSEUM.

duh, must start with the biggest one what!

so, we reached there bright and early at NINE THIRTY in the MORNING ( it was a holiday!)

yeah, obviously we were too early. the museum opened at TEN.

but, there was a mini- queue of 'financially aware' people who like us were queuing up for the goody bag that they were giving away free(:

i think it was somewhere at this point in time that we had a mini 'argument'

clarissa claims her shirt was purple.

yeah, problem was, she was standing beside two people whose shirts were really striking PURPLE.

actually, the picture speaks a thousand words lah. but i can't upload it yet.

oh well, short story. her shirt was GREY.

haha. NMS was boring, i'll admit. Cause we were wandering around with an animated tour guide, what Eunice2 calls the 'mini-ipod'. cause it's like this weird electronic device that guides you around. and around. and around.

rather tiring you know? oh but the interesting thing was seeing the old SCGS uniform. trust me, the current blue sleeveless ones are harmless by comparison(:

erm. no offense, SCGS girls!

it doesn't apply if you're clarissa and sonia(:

okay, then we tried to go to the stamp musuem, but we got lost along the way. so we ended up in front of the peranakan museum and went in(: that was rather interesting, a totally different culture.

then we got out and tried to locate sonia. while finding her, i realised that we were actually just opposite the stamp museum in the first place-.-

so, the 4 of us trooped to the stamp museum. which was pretty cool.

except that they were doing an exhibition on mouses, and the mouse among us got a wee bit too excited for her own good(:

i think stamps are fascinating. obviously a lot of little kids think like me

cause they were overrunning the whole place.

yupp. the day ended with LUNCH! haha. food is important, duh!

watched HSM3 a few days ago. erm, how many ways can a person spell the word: BLAND?

yeah, it was a disappointment, cause sonia prepped me, and i kinda expected more.

but the story line was dead. yeah, if anyone discovers life in the story line, tell me. cause that person deserves the nobel prize man.

okay, i'll admit the dance and songs were pretty cool. but some songs were quite forgettable, i'm sorry! but it's trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

hhaha. go ahead and glare at me, HSM fans, but i can't seem to appreciate the show!

i'd rather watch quantum of solace. ANYTIME.

anyway, the sweet sweet smell of freedom is finally HERE!

i'm thinking YAY! over! PW is like GONE!

in fact, i'm in such a good mood, i'll blog in CHINESE(:

我们的演讲终于完了！好开心！你们羡慕吗？当然啦！

很多有趣的事情发生。可是，我不能在这个大网络告诉大家.

okay...computer acting up again! shucks. i really don't know what happened to the chinese function thing. oh well. it was probably a chore to read that anyway(:

i'll miss NJ117. but i'm sure we'll enjoy our time together next year, as good friends in J2 than as PW mates in J1.the invaluable lessons we've learnt, plus the time we've spent at YJ's house, and the times we exploited the AHEMS electricity together, and finished half the food in sonia's house. oh, yeah, and working on the project too(: haha.

those are lovely lovely memories that i'll cherish!

but then again,　it's over, and i'm glad!

praise God for helping me get through this rough period.

i couldn't have done it without your help(:
