Keepers

Two beautiful days with a beautiful girl. 

Seems like I always only get a few days with the people I love the most. What makes people like Ath and Mish special is that we might not talk very often but we really do pick up where we left off and  it's like they never left. We are okay with silences, there's no awkwardness -and we judge each other all the time (HAHA) 

Ath is a keeper. We've know each other since we were eleven. Seems like math class always finds me the keepers (: because I got to know her better when we were streamed into the worst math class in primary school. And I got to know Misha better when we got streamed into the worst Maths class in junior college. (YES - math isn't my thing) 

I truly thank god for someone like Ath. She's always there for me for better or worse. She's always there to listen, shes never competitive. Always ready to love. Beautiful inside and out.

Last night we met up for supper - filled our happy tummies with oyster egg, BBQ chicken wings, carrot cake and sting ray. 

Then we strolled the park and just stood by the shore screaming and laughing our lungs out. It was really fun- how often do you get crazy friends who are willing to lose themselves with you? 

Love you ath, and I wouldn't trade you for anyone or anything in the world. 

Growing up

Today I met up with childhood bud : LALA ( venga ) - we've been classmates in kindergarten and then again for two years In secondary school. 

I apologize the photo is rather horrible but it was really grainy because it was dark and also he was camera shy ): so I couldn't really get a picture with him. 

And here we are side by side: me with the red sash and him with the green. 

Crazy how you can still be friends with people you've known from kindie. 

Some other photos from kindie:

Retard child. 

So we had dinner at west coast, where I used to live, where he lives as well as where both our kindie and secondary school is. The funniest thing is both our secondary school and the kindergarten is called Clementi woods. ( although our secondary school was initially Jin tai till we merged with Ghim moh and we were renamed Clementi woods secondary school ) 

After that, we took a fifteen minute walk to west coast park to get ice cream/coffee from mackeedees. 

LALA hasn't been there in ages, told him they renovated the pyramid and they added a slide now. He wanted to see it so we did - and upon seeing it he remarked : " HUH they made it shorter ah."

 Took me aback for awhile because I knew it hadn't changed, I had climbed the pyramid a number of times just to do my 4D project two semesters ago. Looking at it I realized that it was pretty true that it didn't look as challenging and as crazy as it did in the past. I then replied : "nah, it didn't change. We just grew up." And we both laughed. 

Have a million memories connected to the pyramid with lovely friends of mine. 

Tried walking the obstacle course- it used to be so difficult..now it's like chicken feet. Haha guess we really are growing up. 

I think it's pretty scary- and I kinda don't want to grow up, lose my parents, face the world and society. I want to be carefree, innocent and without stress. 

But growing up is inevitable and I guess what matters is to be young at heart. 

I hope I come back and read this blog someday because I don't wanna be some boring old adult who has no interest in music, walks out halfway during movies, doesn't ride roller coasters, becomes someone who's just so tired all the time after work that I no longer pursue my hobbies and interests, retain my crazy personality, and not give a shit about society. 

Maybe I won't always be YOUNG, wild and free,but: 

I want to be wild and free forever. 

As I approach my twentieth, (twenteen-ieth) I want to treasure every single day I have even more, love my current state as a youth, and embrace everything positivity -ill try no matter what. I'll enjoy my life, because it is what God has meant for me to do. To enjoy, to love life, to love the others around me and bless them and help them to feel as happy as I do. 

I don't think there's really a reason or a motive needed to do people a Favour, because the satisfaction that comes from it makes you happy in the end. You're happy and the opposite party is happy. 

People have done me favours without a reason and I'm really touched by them, and I always believe it is for me to pass it on so that they can pass similar blessings on to the others they love. 

Do unto others only what you wish for others to do unto you.

People come and people go.

Past two days have been so many people's "last day"s at work .. It's cycle number two and it's sad but people do come and go. I'll definitely miss them ): because seeing these people at work really put a smile on my face. But I'm glad ill still have people like Viv, wee and Elfi and some others around at work <3 (although maybe I won't see them because schools starting anyway and our work schedules never meet) 

Have been feeling rather meh about work- keep getting the feeling I wanna quit but I kinda need to work. I always wonder sometimes why I have to work so hard while some people can just enjoy their holiday. Why I have to work when like there's school and other people can just happily concentrate on school. Well since I'm older I know it's my responsibility to kind of provide for myself anyway. It's hard and sometimes stressful but all in all I guess I just got to trust in God's provision and leave it to God. 

I should be very thankful for a great many blessings I already have in life anyway- like having an awesome room. Having two guitars , being in arts school, being able to afford to stuff waffles and ice cream in my own face (haha)- just to name a few. 

Speaking of holidays, it's going to end in about a week and a halfs time.. And I've got so much on my hands - designs to come up with, birthday gifts, personal projects, that I haven't completed. Such a mess right now haha.. (RWARRRR STREZZZZ) 

NEED.LONGER.HOLIDAYS. 

Tried weaving using suede and I'm so psyched it totally rocks. Haha 

Currently working on :

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?  And if our God is with us then what could stand against us?

is this the working world ?

It's so hard to work when the person you're working for doesn't give you you their direction or ideas and expect you to come up with something from nothing- and when you're finally done, they don't seem to like the end product. GOOD GOD. Feel like bashing them in the face.
