26th of April 2006 and 30th of August 2006 marked the start and the end of my 6 months at TP. Technically, my last paper was 2 days ago and it was Microeconomic, something I must admit I'm not good at cause it's all numbers and graphs which were never friends of mine. I studied though, real hard, unlike any revision I have ever done. I wrote my notes in the morning in school every day of the examination period and I'm safe to say I've probably done my best. Results would be out on 14th of September, til then, I chill.

Met with a couple of good people these past weeks. Feeling satisfied and calm, knowing people whom I cared about are safe. My ITE mates and ex-lectures who finally remembered my name, Adeline, the angelic pal from the attachment from hell (she too, got her driving license since March and has been driving to her $1.5K per month work ever since), secondary schoolmates because it's someone's birthday's again, went back to my seconday school on 31 of August which was a day before the actual Teachers' Day... It was this ITE High Tea session at one of the hotels at Chinatown and almost everyone met up which was awesome. I wore the dress I wore at the wedding and wore heels and it was the same case of mismatched accessory a.k.a my Adidas Lime Green bag but I still love you, a lot. It would have been perfect if it didn't happen to be the first day of my Menses period and that I'm wearing a beige dress and sitting on a chair with white cloth decorated or something. The high tea went on pretty smoothly and there's the yam thing that everyone mistook for spring rolls which happened to be the food everyone grabs whenever there is a buffet or whatever. Photos were taken, there were hugs, laughter, catching on life thing..it was fun.

I didn't quite enjoy the whole seconday schoolmates thing cause as per normal, I'm broke and that meeting costed me close to 20 bucks and stuff...I just didn't like it period

I've enjoyed going back to my old school though. I met up with teachers who taught me everything, Science, Home Econs, Mandarin, English, Humanitites and my Form Teacher...it was brilliant. OK, so no one quite remembers my name..

And then there's the IMF thing. Had to go down for shoes fitting and schedule thing. Turned out I wouldn't have to start my training next week which really kinda suck cause it meant I wouldn't have more money...and I needed the damn money. We'll see how it turns out.

Ok, let's talk about this particular couple who just got couple-y very recently, almost 4 days, i think. They are classmates, cool, comfortable, smart, diligent, possessed a sense of humor which is like the most important trait ever, caring etc..the list goes on..anyway, the guy, JL a.k.a Wayne needed a makeover and I helped him and fortunately, he let me. So he went to cut his hair of curls today, which turned out to be pretty good, as far as he and his girlfriend, Dawn are concerned. He has a better profile now and I got him to buy 4 new shirts which I kinda liked...and it's so cool. He's a good guy and I pray to God they'll last because they are good people. I dig graphics on the tee shirts especially one with a theme and stuff..pretty cool!

Bascially it's the start of my almost 2 months holiday and the new term commenced on 23th of October...it is going to be hectic and very frustrating soon...And I hope I can survive another round of hell.

I just finished this book, it's called 'PS: I Love You' written by an Irish author named C. Ahern ( I couldn't remember the first name). Anyway, it's one of those books that I knew I had to read...and I finally got that chance when I chanced upon it at the National Library, S'pore newest public library and it's huge with theatres and nice toilets and all. It's my first time there, with The Couple and it's cool.

I was barely reading a couple of paragraphs when I started crying and everything. I just couldn't help myself. It's about this woman who had to start leading a new life without her husband who was diagnosed with a brain tumor and passed away. Before the husband got too weak to even get off the bed, he remembered this little promise he made to his wife one night when she bumped into the bed light for the millionth times. It was nothing really but the husband made it his last objective. He made a list of things he wanted his wife to do and follow and hopefully by the end of the message, his wife could move on with a job she loves and did things she never thought she would do and open her heart to someone new...It's really touching...It's almost like I went through the same couple months with the lady whose name is Holly Kennedy as she tried to walk away from the grief and loss of Gerry, her husband and soulmate and to live again. It's really all tears until I heard something rumbling. You know the kind of noise your stomach makes when it's telling you it needs food? It's coming from Dawn, one half of the couple who sat beside me. Her boyfriend and I were like laughing out loud in the silence of a public library. And because I was already crying and all, it's just a mixture of emotions...but I'm glad I read the book.

Check out these 2 songs, I really dig the lyrics and the melodies and tunes and whatever..really cool. Been checking out bands like 311 and The Veronicas etc..they're good...Enjoy.

Speechless
Feels like I have always known you
And I swear I dreamt about you
All those endless nights I was alone
It's like I've spent forever searching
Now I know that it was worth it
With you it feels like I am finally home
Falling head over heels
Thought I knew how it feels
But with you it's like the first day of my life
Cause you leave me speechless
When you talk to me
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You managed to disarm me
My soul is shining through
Can't help but surrender
My everything to you
I thought I could resist you
I thought that I was strong
Somehow you were different from what I've known
I didn't see you coming
You took me by surprise and
You stole my heart before I could say no
Falling head over heels
Thought I knew how it feels
But with you it's like the first day of my life
You leave me speechless
When you talk to me
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You managed to disarm me
My soul is shining through
I can't help but surrender
Oh no
My everything to you
You leave me speechless (the way you smile, the way you touch my face)
You leave me breathless
(it's something that you do I can't explain)
I run a million miles just to hear you say my name
Baby
You leave me speechless
You leave me breathless
The way you look at me
You manage to disarm me
My soul is shining through
I can't help but surrender
My everything to you


Wherever You Will Go
So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on your own
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
I know now, just quite how,
My life and love may still go on
In your heart, in your mind, I'll stay with you for all of time
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
