well my life of late has revolved around uni apps (blah blah blah) and going out with dunman gep kids, whom i have seen like FOUR TIMES in the last week or so, which is honestly quite a lot considering the fact that i have barely seen them in the last couple of years of my life. a bit sad, but hey we are making up for lost time (: its also amazing how i have possibly cussed more in the last four meetings with them (and in the last week) than i have in the last TWO YEARS of my life, possibly four years if we're that lucky. it really wows me how at home i feel with them. i don't know if i can ever have this kind of feeling with another group of people like this ever again.

so, christmas (: lovely holiday, and it was nice seeing the family again. and now the new year is coming, and i suppose i ought to make new year resolutions. thing is, i haven't made a resolution since i was eleven, because my last resolution was never to make any more new year's resolutions. sorry, little eleven year old me, you were brilliant but i guess eight years on, i might have to break that. so here are my resolutions for the new year!

1) be a better person. this is very general, and i do have specifics on my mind but i feel that those are way too private to put down here. so i have to resort to a general statement to get the point across. i know, cryptic as always.
2) learn to drive.
3) be more independent. stop relying on other people for things i can jolly well do myself. i mean, ultimately i'm starting to learn that the world isn't as idealistically nice and beautiful as i always fathomed it to be. people will chew you up, spit you out, let you down, and generally just eff you up totally. so i guess the only way to prevent that from happening is to rely on yourself solely. and i think 2010 is a good step towards that eventual goal. (do i sound bitter? lol.)

bf insists i sleep now. suffering from heavy insomnia lately though. i suspect i might be PMS-ing, its about time the red waterfall came actually. (in a week)

Woke up early this morning, made my coffee like I always do.
Then it hit me from nowhere, everything I feel about me and you.
The way you kiss me crazy, baby you're so amazing.

Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the 8th world wonder.

I guess that I'm just falling deeper into something I've never known.
But the way that I'm feeling, makes me realize that it can't be wrong.
Your love's like a summer rain, washing my doubts away.

Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the 8th world wonder.

It's only been a week, but it's coming over me.
It's making me believe that you're the one for me.

Seven days and seven nights of thunder,
The waters rising and I'm slipping under.
I think I fell in love with the 8th world wonder.

Shameless song plugging, teehee. This song is so amazing. I love songs which mirror my life because they mean so much more when you mentally sing along. I had an amazing day today though! As always.

i had a beautiful thursday with nush and then david, and i'm so glad that junyi's home from china! this is despite the shitty fail pudding that nush and i tried to make, and her singing unchained melody non stop and all of course. however, because i am not in the best of moods now, i'd just like to say that at times like these i almost wish i had the As again to give my life some sort of purpose cuz currently i'm just feeling rather aimless and drained.

its scary how you have the power to make or break my entire day.
no i do not think i would ever tell you this to your face. or even over the phone.
this feels like insomnia.

At the Gate of the Year
(this is one of the most memorable poems/quotes that reminds me of the AC family)

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.'

And he replied,
'Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!'

So I went forth and finding the Hand of God
Trod gladly into the night
He led me towards the hills
And the breaking of day in the lone east.

So heart be still!
What need our human life to know
If God hath comprehension?

In all the dizzy strife of things
Both high and low,
God hideth his intention.

-Minnie Louise Harkins 1875-1957

well hello! i haven't blogged in quite a while and so much shit has happened that i feel the duty to just sit down and take a while to pen down my thoughts. i guess the most memorable things that have happened in the past week are last friday, this tuesday and this friday (yesterday).

last friday i headed out with chrys cuz it was the last day of the A Levels officially and we watched New Moon which was frankly not very good but well, the werewolves were cute and fuzzy (: though dialogue was very very cheesy and i was honestly inwardly wincing everytime edward said something. but hey, nice special effects from hollywood. afterwards headed out with david to nua at the shisha place and we stayed there for positively ages just inhaling smoke, drinking beer, and talking. i think we're terribly sedentary for two young people, honestly. hahaha (:

then this monday was nuts cuz i got dragged around town for seven hours straight thanks to yeehui tan trying to find her a dress and i never want to do that ever again cuz my feet were killing me when i got home but the paybacks were so good at prom heehee.

this tuesday was prom and oh my goodness it was crazy awesome (: i enjoyed camwhoring for one of the few times in my life, and it felt like i ought to take a pic with every one of my close friends/random acquaintances because it felt that if i didn't it would be as though they never existed or something. i don't know, it a very weird feeling, knowing that you won't see most of these people til march and then after march you probably won't see them ever again. realistically speaking that is. post-prom at supperclub was uhhh even crazier, so i won't say much, and then later on i crashed at gwee's and spent the whole of wednesday recuperating before my briefing at moe on thursday. whoosh. afterwards had lunch with isaac and omg i felt so freaking fat it wasn't funny. cheap jap food again ftw.

friday. yesterday. 11th dec. i don't know, it was such a seminal day! met up with nush for the first time in goodness knows how long and we nua-ed at toast and talked and i caught up on all the IP gossip including some things which i honestly never needed to know but it was interesting to know anyway. kind of. HAHAHA. then well i met up with david and we went to watch the princess and the frog. disney delivers again because it was pretty cute and the music was good, as expected. then we ate pasta, and stoned at the top of orchard central where the rooftop gardens were. it was windy and the view was amazing (: not to mention the company of course. and then we reached a consensus on certain things and yes now tiff is a happy tiff (: refer to facebook for further details.

also i bought eggspensive lip gloss so the damn thing better work and work well at that.

but that is not the point. amazing times are coming i can feel it and really, i can't wait for dec to continue bringing me more moments of magic (: good luck to the boys in army: gid, paul, loga etc. i'm sure you all will be useful people serving our nation so take care and stay safe!

hey i haven't blogged in ages and so i thought i'd come back, especially since today is the first day since As are over that i've stayed home the whole damn day (and did absolutely nothing of value, as usual whee). short recap on the days that have passed.

tuesday: As ARE OVER! the class was awesome, we jumped into the pool with our uniforms on and everything, and then later headed out for an expensive dinner before some chillaxing time around town. i was nice to have a class outing again, honestly. took quite a few polaroids too.
wednesday: headed out for lunch with pak, and now he's in china for a holiday. can't wait for him to be back, but then after he's back he's gotta start work so, lol. went to orchard central for some good jap food.
thursday: spent the afternoon with debs, shopping and lunching at astons and just bumming in general. strolling down orchard road with my girl is always exciting. then later, met up with isaac for dinner and we had well, jap food! no i don't know whats with the sudden jap food craze haha, but i did try a new dish: pregnant fish! and damn its so good srsly. and now isaac just flew off to japan last night ):
friday: public holiday which was spent out with the family, dad's side.
saturday: spent out with family, mom's side. went to sentosa and the underwater world, and my little nephew (cousin's son) was being his usual little monstrous self and trying to steal my lollipop. but he was cute when he wasn't screaming his head off (: yes he's six months old and positively adorable.
sunday: well haha i spent the night out with david at the night safari. it was pretty awesome and fun, and strange at times cuz i swear levu calls people at absolutely the worst times! the animals were so cute and strolling around at night is actually quite cooling.
monday: spent it out with hwee and we watched a christmas carol which is a secretly scary kids' show, and hwee spent a ton of cash on a CD, a pair of jeans AND MORE. we ate at toast and it was so good, i have to go back there more often if only it wasn't so eggspensive ): its often frequented by angmohs and working people so yes that tells you something.

and today is tuesday and i am home and refusing to move anywhere! i have gone out nonstop and have spent a ton of cash and now i refuse to move for a while. or at least until i get bored. plus a ton of people are overseas now, like tongtong's in LA and isaac's in japan and pak's in china and debs is in turkey and yes i am sad and alone awww. PROM IS NEXT TUESDAY THOUGH so thats something to look forward to! (:
