syfc

i went down to syfc to check things out. it totally wasn't what i had expected.

firstly, i was 5 minutes late. but when i reached the station, i couldn't find anyone waiting for me. so i had to call the person who contacted me. but no one picked up. so i had to call syfc. and through that call, i realised that she had forgotten. ah wellz. nvm.

i followed her when she arrived and it was something very awkward. she introed to me the people there and the stuff they did. it sounds really cool and all and i get pretty excited about it. that was...until i met the entire group of people that i probably will have to work with later on =(

it was terrible. they were all...weird people. weird mad people. seriously!!! i was taken aback by how cheena people out of my life are! i mean...they were speaking and singing chinese! it was all so weird. i couldn't connect with any of them except for grace and 2 other girls. then i found out why. the entire bunch of cheena people were all from the same church and the were all like sec 1s and 2s. and those that i could sort of connect with were sec 3. the leaders thought i just finished my A levels. HAH! i must have appeared very mature compared to the rest! not a compliment to me though. the others were just way childish. i'm sorry. i can't tolerate you people. drove me nuts. and one of the leaders who came to yf to promote syfc turned out to be really mad as well. she was retarded la. acting like a wad...12 year old mad kind of girl stuck in a wad. 30 over year old body?????? and she kept insisting that she was very sane. yes maam..i SO believe you **smiles sweetly**

it's sad how going to an all girls school like ij make me so english-fied, so unable to accept the cheena part of others, how i cannot accept other cultures. nvm. grace was very sweet to help me feel welcome =)

we watched one of their products and had a briefing on the upcoming year. i felt like i was invisible once again. as if i were part of the group or just wasn't there. everything felt so alien. i was at least hoping to find someone familiar or smth. but i didn't. anyway. it felt weird being made to take photos with the group even though i was never part of it. i felt as if i were a ghost who was trying to be part of humans again, squeezing into a photo....aiya. it was all weird la.

i was invited to have a badminton match with them. it was all very confusing since they were such strict rule followers, dunno wad server over and all that language..ah wellz. at least it made time pass faster. i joined them for dinner. thinking that perhaps thigns might be better. things remained as it is and i was very surprised that they didn't wait for one another to get their food so they could pray together. no. everyone came back at their own pace and just...well..ate! weird. not what i had expected. i thought they would be more holy or smth. seems like they werent.

i'm now stuck in a dilemma. i don't know if i should forego my first 3 months for this media project serve thingy or not. i mean. it would be good. considering that i'll be exposed to the media stuff, working and testing out how it feels like, experience, going to professional media areas such as a christian ministry and radio stations to check out how things are. plus..this is the most exciting thing. i'll be going through apprenticeship. like work under a company for 3 weeks and if my work is good enough they'll use it! so cool right?!!?!!!!??!

AHHH...wad to do wad to do??????????????

sigh

i had a great time at east coast today =) the original plan was to well....watch harry potter. but as usual, our darling amy calls the shots. she didn't want to watch it..so alrite. we went for lunch, with ailin, christina and i in amy and shaun's car. i thot amy would join us...but well..once again, she didn't. i just don't understand why. she seems to change her mind so...quickly. sad. but nvm.

i was quite scared that i wouldn't be able to cycle properly since i just learnt last year and have yet been given enough chances to practice. haha. but all went well. it was a hilarious sight seeing sarah struggling to blade, but it was very sweet of daniel to accompany her..though i must say he was laughing at her most of the time. hahahaha. typical of him. but nvm.

anyway. kelvin made a bet with us - that we would find sarah and daniel in 10/15 minutes time. the girls lost, so we had to drink half a litre of water. well. it wasn;t so bad surprisingly =) i managed to survive. only thing it felt sick to have water slushing in your stomach.

i didn't want to go home. some personal reasons. shan't type it here. no one knows why. i myself aren't clear why. so how would you know????? so i followed sarah and deb to shop for their prom stuff. though most of the time i felt invisible. nvm. i think i'm suffering from some psychological problem. i dunno. i've been thinking about it, and the more i think, the worse it gets.

it's scary. and i don't wish to share. i have learnt from eddie carbone (from the veiw from the bridge) and i realised, it is always better to settle for half, and not to be wholly known.

prom night

prom night. what a blast. all the worrying and all is gone in such a flash. what the hell. ah wellz. it was so unexpected, but nvm.

the second shopping trip with amy wasn't that bad. in fact, it was done very quickly. which was good. and it was very much less torturous, except the lingerie part. haha. my goodness. i felt so scrutanised!!! actually. through all these trips, i realised what i liked best about relationships is the time you spend with the other party =)))

prom is a rather panicky kind of thing. we get scared when things screw up. liz and i panicked like crap when amy called to say grace couldn't make it to do our hair. i almost died of a heart attack! but we managed to get it all sorted out. haha. thank God!!!!

grace had a friend over, whom she called assistant hair dresser or smth like that. it was pretty amusing hearing them hoo-haaing over liz and my hair. they were "oohh...so nice!" or "my goodness. so pretty!!!!" it was fascinating just watching and hearing them haha. my both of them did a good job on me la. curled my hair really prettily. i never had in mind what they were gonna do to me. besides. everything changed on the day itself. and to think i went shopping -___-'''

i looked...different after the hair was done. haha. in the end...i was persuaded to wear a dress...so i borrowed joy's dress/gown. whatever it is. hahaha. so there went the pants, blouse and necklace that i bought. hahahaha. the only thing i had on me which i bought was....my shoes. yea. so there i was, standing awkwardly in amy's room waiting to be make-uped. at like 6.30, which was the time we were supposed to be there, i was still having my make up done. i hate the mascara thingy. even if i didn't put it on. it was so hard to not blink. sorry amy. couldn't resist blinking =) so we didn't get the mascara on in the end =)

it was a pretty cool sight. ok. maybe not sight. everything was blur. cos i wasn't allowed to wear my specs. **stares at grace and her friend and amy and liz** yes. i was forbidden to do alot of things. but thank goodness i survived the night! i shocked alot of people. having all sorts of comments. i have never felt so girly in my entire life. and steffi was going mad. she kept wanting to take photos with me. even if it was the same thing. only difference is the way we smile or whether it is nice or not. haha.

the special farewell to mr ng was very touching. it touched everyone =) peeps even wanted to cry. and mr ng DID cry. haha. sweet =)))) and we did a hey baby dance in our gowns. so unglam..all of us dancing like william hung. WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA. still..something very memorable =) pity i didn't get to take photos with the teachers. sob. nvm.

we went back to the hotel, only to be shocked at the presence of novita's ahem. hahahahaha. we kept teasing her about it. but that guy is nuts la. he was following us all around until the next morn just because he wanted to take a photo with novita. he could have told us earlier and we would have GLADLY gave her to him. hahahhahhahahaa. we had originally wanted to go take christmas photos. but it was so stupidly dark. practically useless. so we ended up at macs drinking =) i drank coke. heehee. and we sort of went mad. ok. maybe just me. su hui and denise kept refusing to sleep with me. hahahahahhahaa. ahem. as in. innocent kind of sleep. yea. =D

we stayed there, talking and talking before retiring back to our hotel room where we had a bath and all. it was such a pain taking out all the pins in my hair. after the removal of pins i looked like a mad woman. hahaha. was tempted to take a very unglam photo. but aiya. nvm la. so i just went to bathe =) i think curling my hair has made it even more straight. haha. i know it's weird. but it did!

novita konked off quickly. but we can't blame her. she was sick. poor baby. any o how. we went mad. M.A.D mad and drunk. haha. ok. we weren't drunk unless the coke was drugged. but that's besides the point. we were talking and chit chatting until around 4 plus before i slowly...but unawarely drifted off the sleep. hahaha. it was so comfortable. i refused to wake up the next morning. besides. everyone was still asleep. except for su hui. she's a mad woman. i dunno what she did all those while we were sleeping. hahahahaha. but it was so comfortable. and we went mad again. ok. i did. think i can high when i'm with close friends. haha. su hui was regretting she said it was a blessing to know us. nvm. we know we still love one another =))))) it was such a heartache to pack up and leave that place. but nvm. we had loads of fun taking photos. doing pyramids, pillowfights and all sorts of rubbish. haha. i love my brudders.

traumatised

I have confirmed over the past few days..ok. 2 days. I AM terrorised, traumatised, wadeva-ised. The idea of shopping is HAUNTING me. Seriously. Whenever my mind is free that immediately comes to mind..ARH..I can't wait for this horrible thing to be over. one can practically see when i'm thinking about it. it shows immediately on my face. whereby my face contorts and distorts into a scrunched up expression or i just shake my head violently to get the thought out of my head...

I seriously need to learn how to become a fellow what they call "female". As much as I am physically one, I seriously think that I am emotionally and mentally not one. It's like a guy being stuck in a girl's body. How torturous is that???? I mean. How do girls know what looks good on them and what doesn't???? How do they colour their face so beautifully with make-up?? How do they squeeze their body into such tight fitting clothes and still be comfortable. Not to mention..BREATHE????? HOW???? How do they walk in hills (oops) I mean heels. What's so great about skirts and hard to wear things like dresses with all sorts of funny stuffs???? I just don't understand!

it's like as people are trying super hard to give me a makeover, everything on me looks disgusting even though it looks so damn good without me wearing it. Rather. It looks good on the mannequins. it's depressing. haha. i think i'm going through puberty. my brain has just caught up with my body. sad. rah rah rah rah rah. it's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bah. i have to go get my top and all the other rubbish for prom tmr. alone. with amy. the idea of doing so is scary itself. but i know i don't have a choice. if not....i'm pretty much dead for prom. can just hide in the hotel room that the brudders are getting. hur hur hur. i'm definitely not going to look forward to all that. heh.

i went out with steffi today. what a horrible experience. haha. everyone should never share an umbrella with Steffi Goh. my goodness. she's so annoying. she clings on to you like cling wrap on a plate. and kicks water at you, dirtying your beautiful white shoes. then she screams and laughs like a hyena. i was utterly embarassed!

we got lost in suntec. hahaha. apparently..i didn't know how to get to marina square. i tried back tracing my steps from the way sarah and i got to the mrt station on sunday. but apparently i still got lost. thank good ness i wans't alone. i could have just sat there and remain lost and still be unaware. ok la. i was aware of it. i just didn't know what to do. hahaha.. throughout the entire thing, steffi goh kept complaining. thank goodness i'm so good natured and could tolerate her. if not i think i would have exploded on the spot. haha. dun worry steffi. i still love you =)))

i figured out something as she tried to make me try on all sorts of weird stuff. which i easily refused and she too easily gave up asking me to try =) what i realised was that i needed someone i was scared off to make me try on female stuff. someone like amy. as much as it is such a horrifying experience. it's the only way to get things done. SAD. think so far amy is the only successful one who has been able to get me into all sorts of things i prob never would touch. unless some fairy godmother comes along and make me girly. **claps for amy**

i agree with debs. getting stuff for prom is almost as hard as choosing the next route - jc or poly. RAH. and to make matters worse....i can;t log on to msn. yay....joy...

shopping from prom. oh the horrors

i went shopping for prom today. but firstly, i had to follow all the cgls to someone in singapore for their cgl lunch. i felt so extra. esp since i wasn't a cgl. never will be. but that's another story.

i felt so...extra. i mean. everyone there were like the youngest being 18. ok. the people there were mainly 20 something. with the exception of chris chia who was 18.there was...jon ji, amy teo, ps dave and his wife heather, renzi (who is married)and i think thazz about it.

i felt so awkward. stuck between amy and joanne and sitting opposite renzi pastor dave and heather. with the closest friend as a cgl being sarah who was sitting at the other end of the earth, i mean table. felt so...lonely...and extra...bah.....and to think that in the future i'll have to go for leaders retreat is scary.

everyone seemed excited for me. for prom. weirdly. dun understand why. they were all suggesting what to place me in. what colour etc etc. it was stressful. i'd rather study than go through all that prom prep. oh boy. but i know it was highly fascinating for them to watch me shop. actually. i didn't shop. amy did. haha.

shopping for prom was an entire whole new horrendous experience. i was so intending to pon prom because it was such a horror trying to find something to wear!!!! i was made to wear dresses. all sorts. tube like ones, halter toppy ones, spaghetti strappies one all sorts of weird stuff that i had no idea how to put on. call myself a girl. i seriously believe i'm stuck in the wrong body! RAH. why can't i just be like a guy. be easy. get a shirt, coat etc.

i dun think i ever stripped down to my undies in front of someone. even if she didn't mind. i did. i felt as though my privacy had been intruded.WHYYYYY...it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO STTTREEESSSFUUULLLLL. especially if u have a figure as bad as mine. so embarassing. argh.. i am seriously intending to get a sex change. i;m just very different from girls i suppose. shopping and make up and all..not my stuff. i was looking at the interiors of shops. the cool shelves they have. sarah and chrystal were like "you can't wear shelves!!!" but it was a really nice decorative shelf =) and they had nice clocks too! bleah...they don't appreciate such stuff. sad people. an dun forget. shopping is such a money sucker thing. everything we saw was SOOOO eXPENSIvE! my goodness! no wonder they always have no money! see...my parents should love me more for not spending so much of their money.

anyway..i felt like a country bumpkin. amy just couldn't understand how anyone could live all the way till 16 without wearing any high heels before. i did =))))) ok. i'm not 16 yet. but still =)shopping with them all in all was a very stressful experience. i felt watched. with the need to meet all that high expectations, with ideas totally different from mine. i'm more casual =) can't we just go for prom in our sch u??? they can't say it's inappropriate can they????????? and it felt as though they were all so frustrated. and they were just being nice cos i was such an idiot.

they all left after that, leaving sarah and i together. i felt very much relieved. as much as i love amy...she stresses me out..somehow. sarah and i started talking. with me telling her how i felt and all. it was so much better. i feel that i've grown closer to sarah and we're able to share more private stuff with one another. it's good to have someone u can trust to be accountable to. we continued shopping and sarah bought some stuff at topshop. liz is so gonna love her presents =)))))

we went off to bishan after some more shopping. and went to j8 where we met her mum and had dinner at thomson plaza at like....9???? i think the ramen was too filling. i was stuggling to finish my meal...arh..but it was nice la. i never eaten ramen in my entire life. it was good =))))

and after this horrendous experience shopping. i can't believe i have to do it again cos i'm not done...WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! oh God...save me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
