& so it's the end, for now at least

Today marks the end of my second academic year in Millennia, with oral presentation being the big finish. Hur. If only i can write a jolly happy report on it. It was alright and i think the group did fine overall but still, my own performance could have been better but let's not dwell on that- there's no point anyway and besides, Melvin was really good and he already set the stage for the rest of us and sad to say, i doubt that any of us, after Mel managed to match up to his public speaking abilities. That guy sure can talk.

So here i am, back home balancing my plate of rice and kangkung (eurgh, look at the filthy carb content) on my knees, attempting to type a decent entry, with intellectual content. I've been thinking alot about this year, okay, scrap that. To be honest, i've been thinking alot about clothes and my expenditure on clothes and the lack of space in my cupboard for yet MORE new clothes but...let's just say that i HAVE been thinking about this year...i must admit that it has been a rather fulfilling year. Alot of good things happened and i'm just happy.

(Okay, get ready for a long whopping entry here, leave if you are too lazy to read)

So the best thing that happened this year?

I GOT MY HAIR DONE!!! :D I'm rather pleased with the result. Really. No more dealing with bad-hair-days, after 17 years of torture and disdain!

Okay, that doesn't sound quite right. I guess the best thing ever, this year has gotta be being with Abdar of course. I won't say falling in love because it's difficult to define such a thing so complex and irritatingly overused. But it's just great having another comforting face to see in school (after my dear Farah, of course)

If not for Abdar, who's gonna appreciate my new hair, touch and stroke it in such refreshing wonderment and awe? Who's gonna gaze at me lovingly and tell me that i look so pretty? Hahaha. And i think i lost weight also because i didn't want us to look like number 10 walking side by side. See, such motivation (: Best of all, it's just the thought of having somebody you can call and talk to in the middle of the night when you just can't sleep, although i haven't exactly tried this out yet...but i know he wouldn't mind. I love it when he sweeps me off the ground (literally) and make me feel light and small. I like the fact that he give me confidence and make me more sure of myself (though i admit it was the reverse at the beginning). Things were really tough at the beginning, having to make adjustments and everything but patience definitely paid off. Life's almost perfect.

Now, onto other pleasant things that happened in the course of this year;

• Farah and Jannah, of course! Got closer to them and hell yeah they are my MacDonald's and study buddies, gym buddies, Ban-mian buddies, complain buddies, cry buddies, laugh buddies, criticize-my-body buddies and to cut it short, they are like parmesan cheese on fries, my whipped cream on apple strudle and toilet paper- people i just CANNOT do without. Wonderful. Now this is girly love, i can safely say. Nothing beats meeting Farah up for an early Mackers breakfast. Oh, Farah is specifically like maple syrup on pancakes/hashbrowns :) Sayang them so much.

• We got promoted! Yes, Farah, Jannah and I. So next year we can intensify our study sessions together at Mac then :)

• Met Nic & Jack. These people automatically became my favourite couple of the year man. They made the 06A1 experience fantastic. I cannot imagine what Farah and i will do without Nic's constant irritating but yet lovable taunts and Jack is cool. So laidback and cool. I enjoyed very much working with him. Weii! Like this who's gonna not do assignments with us?? Who's gonna laugh at my fattyness? Who's gonna be completely and totally upfront with me about things if not you, Nic? Oh well. I'm just so gonna miss the familiar sight of the two of you and your orange crumplers joined tgt to form a heart :) So loving!

• Academically, i've managed get interested in certain aspects of History, minus bloody Cold War. Literature is something i enjoy reading and Econs is well... well? I'm working on that. What a challenge, really. Must change studying habits then. Only abt 10 more months before A's next year. So much for things being "over"

• I like 06A1's class atmosphere. I can feel the peer pressure to study and strive. So yay! Pretty refreshing, i must say as compared to last year. You know, i've always secretly dreamed of being one of the top few in A1 but oh well. Hahahaha, don't laugh! I have a strong feeling it'll just stay a dream. I mean look at Sliv! He's really impressive, coming up with his own published book and everything. What can I friggin hope to acheive anws? Besides, I've got sucha long way to go.

• I realised that skipping MT lessons are alright. Skip PE lessons too, if you hate it. Nobody will come kill you. There's no fatal consequence except, well, just pray that the damned PE department did not curse and hope for you to die choking on your own fat. But if eventually you do, then you know that you only have yourself to blame (:

There's many more, like family ties and sisterly bondings and all other pleasant stuff like that. What a tiring year, really. But I'm looking forward to the next to come.

Phew. Long entry. Don't bother reading all la. Okay?
