So yeah. I've kinda given up on my daily accounts saved even on my phone because I honestly don't have the time and when I actually do, I rather spend that time de-stressing rather than recounting my entire week of to-dos and appointments scheduled weeks ago.
Well, apart from the symposium and camp things which we were only informed of like a week before? Like wtF?! Seriously, I don't condone expletives, but honestly I think that that was bullcrap. How can we be expected to plan our schedules around items that we are not even sure of before hand. And even so, we should not be expected to cancel our prior appointments for something that had not been previously announced. The lack of organisation and buffer time to react has left us scrambling to get things done. And it doesn't help that there were bloody unreasonable stupid shit requests to handle. Door to door delivery? Calling at 2 and expecting us to be in school by 4.45pm? Wanting us to send messages at 11pm and expecting everyone to be awake enough to spread the word? Bullshit. I so do NOT think so. You so free you go do yourself la. Please, we have our own lives. We have our own things to do. It's not like we sold our soul to the devil and I expect to have full rights to myself. Like duh, it's me.
That wasn't the end. During church I received a call which I did not return and instead replied curtly that I was currently attending sunday service. But no. Really, I had more to say than that. I wanted to say, "sorry, but I don't take business calls on Sundays. It's an off day." and leave the hang up tone in his ear. please la. How can you ask people to handle things on Sundays?! Even saturday would be alright, but sunday is a pile of bullshit.
Anyways, wednesday was the last day of training before we broke for christmas break and after that I headed over to town for a meeting with my parents' friends. Last DLS meeting of the year filled with blessings and flourishing. ;)
Then thursday, apparently, I was booked by Shawn since his exams were over. Haha. x) so after I had tuition, gotten my hair cut and posted my insurance receipts to the school, I headed over to Vivo city to meet him. Then we had dinner at subway before walking into Doulous, a ship that was docked at Vivo's side that had an on board book fair. It was more for the look see look see. Hees. Then we went to watch Avatar. Bloody Hell! 9.25pm go in, watch advertisements till 10pm. O.O no wonder jerry said it's 3 hours luh! X.X LOL?! And by the time it was over no more MRT liao. Shitsy shits. Hate wasting money cabbing around and on the like. Anyway, Shawn cabbed me home. Sweet Dreams.
And the next night i'd headed over to Kelly's for her birthday party! Haha! :D we took A LOT of pictures. By we, I mean kelly, soma, Priya and myself. :) w/ her super pro looking cam. xD I left around 10pm to head home to pack, etcetera. And fell asleep around 4am waking up at 11am to finish up my packing before I headed over to tanah merah where I met Shawn and his friends at 3.15pm to go for his 3D 2N Chalet. :)
Once we got there, after lunch they all started setting up their own lan center. Like OMG. X.X at least the first night most of his cousins were there and I didn't want to be hanging around watching him and his guy play Lan so instead I went bowling with Grace, Rachel, Ben, Michael and Wayne. :) that round I didn't suck as much yet. xD
The next day, we woke up real early to go to the Indoor Stadium for NCC's christmas service! Shawn and I slept upstairs so we slept quite a lot but Jim slept only for an hour and Evers beat that- he didn't sleep and at all.. And this is the result. Haha. Jia Yin met us for service and we headed back to tanah merah except for Evers coz he was to have a competition the next day.
We met Jasmine, Corrine and Jian Jun at tanah merah, followed by Aaron before we went via shuttle bus back to the Chalet.
And well, after that part, there was a huge lapse in my keeping up with my posting so yeah. Can’t really follow through now. That was like 2 weeks from when I’m now typing this.
Anyway, I really didn’t want to leave. Because after 3 days of being away from it all, reality was way too harsh and stressful to return to, but nonetheless, I had to and thus on 22nd Dec, I awoke on my own bed, in my own room, back to the life I had to live.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to recover and gradually build up the momentum of my life because right that day, I had to head over to school to wrap up some stuff with Beatrice and Richelle, the only two other SCs who turned up(there is a lot to be said about the responsibility and reliability of the student council. -.-), after which, we three split as Richelle went back to get ready, Beatrice swung by Queensway to get her contacts and I went one whole round around Singapore just so I could meet Shawn just for that short MRT ride:
(via EW line) (Via NS line)
Instead of going the shorter way:
Clementi à Jurong East à Choa Chu Kang
(via EW line) (Via NS line)
Anyway, if you don’t get my point just look up the bloody MRT map. I’m not about to upload a sample, or any other pictures for that matter because in the lapse time of my blogging, I have taken over 150 photos so no way, no how am I gonna waste my finger strength and time uploading those. :) you can, of course, click on the public link at the end of this post to the facebook album hosting all my pictures for the last month. And what not. :D
Okay, then I had 3E1/4E1’s Christmas party! The food was gooooooooood! Especially considering we each only paid $10. but what I know is that Emily’s parents chipped in around $80 and chairman, Nicholas’ parents, chipped in around $40. :D
And I was absolutely exhausted. As usual. I decided to leave at 11pm and you have no idea how heng I was. I caught the LAST train out of Choa Chu Kang in the Bishan direction. LIKE ZOMG. HENG SIA! xD HAHAHHAHAAHAH! So relieved. So yeah, I reached Lorong Chuan and I walked home from there. I still needed to shower and all that stuff, which sucked because I ended up sleeping at around 2am? and the next day I got up at 5.45am, I think, because there was the sec 1 registration in school. Gosh. When I reached there everyone was like so hung over, and we didn’t even have alcohol! xD
But yeah. I guess it was alright. Except Ms Chai kept picking on the fact that my nails were blue, but I seriously, honestly had no nail polish remover left coz I hadn’t capped it properly and it all leaked on and evaporated. Sheesh. -.- but whatever, I tried my best to keep them concealed and by 11am, we close shop liaos. :D
Anyway, after that when I was shooting, Mr Wan asked Priya and myself to join him and a couple of SLs in a game of handball, which ended when the ball deflected off the post onto Priya’s head. :/ but then when she was alright, we continued with a game of netball. :)
Then I had my shower in school and sparta-ed over to JP coz I hadn’t bought Christmas presents for some of the people I wanted to buy for and yadda yadda yadda. Except I didn’t have much time because I was meeting my DG @ 4.30pm @ Clementi MRT so that we could head over to the Carabelle for our Level 3 Almighties Christmas party! :D OMG. Should’ve brought clothes and stuff like that. The facilities there are like so nice la. ‘cept the fact that the guards stop you from doing anything even when it doesn’t compromise the residents’ use or safety. -.-
Well, at least I got to know Melodi better and it’s so awesome how we’re really aiming for the same schools in exact order! :D but then we left around 8.45pm and reached Serangoon at 10pm on the dot. :D
Anyway, don’t remember what else I did but it’s probably nothing much coz it was already so late.
And then Christmas eve arrived. I had so intended to sleep in for the first time this holiday, but lo and behold, on the one day I could sleep in, my mom woke me up to do something for her. The irony of things you know. ZzZ. And yeah, my mom brought my bro to Malaysia to buy clothes for him so I stayed at home. And coz they reached back later than expected I did most of the cooking for X’mas dinner. :D
One of my mom’s friends joined us and she gave us a crash course of wine tasting. LOL. it’s actually quite cool. :) at 12mn, my youngest two bros were making noise about presents so I brought all the presents I got down and gave them away. :D heees.
Then I don’t remember what else happened, but I woke up to Christmas day. So let’s just skip from there all the way to the 28th. Yeah. That was a Monday and I got up early so that I could reach school at 9am to do CIP for Mrs Chng. The pay was a good exchange rate. But omg, her room is seriously damn dusty and dirty. Eh. Teacher’s day buy a vacuum cleaner for her luh. X.X
Then after lunch I headed back to school again. this was my super suay day. Not only did I drop my bag and break this thing which I will not mention, in the process it also cracked my phone’s screen. All the way to the LCD. Like F***! It’s only a baby! Barely two months old. :( and that was not it. When I did get back to school I wanted to shoot but it was raining. Then when it stopped, I immediately went out but then five minutes later, despite the lack of rain, the lightning siren went on. xC see what I mean?!?!?!?!?
Anyway, Tuesday I had my last session of Chinese intensive and after that I travelled down to Parkway Parade to see if I could claim warranty over my phone but they offered a price nearly 3 times the price a guy in JB offered my dad. It’s a bloody scam! So, duh, I didn’t do it. I just headed home. And I dunno. Did homework? Hahah.
Wednesday I reached school at 9am again and we started off with a briefing by Ms Chai on sec 1 orientation. Then when she left around 10am, we continued conducting the meeting to get as much input and tie the loose ends on our program in one day to save time. I must say, the sec 3s to be are quite efficient… once they actually know what to do. Then around 12.30pm, Mr Tan came to give us a short briefing and then we carried out a short run through with the seating arrangement for 1st day of school. Then we let them break for lunch after which Joel carried out some flag raising trainings for the sec 3s to be and I and a few others went for netball training.
Then after that I showered in school and left with Priya and Soma to pick Beatrice up from WCP so that we could head over to Labrador Park for our 2E3 BBQ. It’s actually a pretty nice place and all. Hahahas. it was a good catchup with Fan xin darling. :)
And some time during my blogging hiatus, I think we filled in a lot of the gaps with that talk.

Anyways, yes that’s like how I spent the last few days of 2009. and today being the 31st is the only reason why I’ve decided to blog. To wrap up my 2009.
It’s been a short, busy year and there’s so many things I’ve done that have changed the things around me and given me joy but sometimes also stress. So yeah, I don’t know what to say. It’s just that this was mostly a good year, because I’ve drawn closer to God and I think, learnt more to rely on Him than on my own works. Though I still do have a tendency to. hahahs. Anyways, my results need to be improved on a lot by next year because it’s gonna be my O level year! How time flies. Anyways, also, in another 2 weeks exactly, West Zone will be starting! That means we have a minimum of only 4 trainings left. Shitty-di-dooo! I want this!
So many upcoming things, CCA open house, tertiary institutes’ open houses I want to attend, west zone, investiture, mentoring, Chinese new year and much much more. And heck, that’s only term one of 2010. Wow. God bless me. Thanks. xD
Okay, will be spending countdown’s out and so happy new year everyone! Remember to thank God for everything good and even the stuff you don’t know yet! HAHAH! :D
Love,
Deborah.
P.S. from now on I’m probably gonna post more sporadically, because as you can see, even in the holidays I’m this busy, so what more in the school term. Yeah. I guess y’all can just check back every month, if you’re lucky or bi-monthly or somethin. Hahahs. :/
P.P.S. I’ve also suddenly acquired an interest in piano again! and it’s all coz of one song, Dandelion’s Promise, right Shawn?
P.P.P.S. Here’s the like to GranDec, as promised, the album with all my December photos. :D
