Sunday, February 7, 2010

The journey begins... @1:33 PM;
After sleeping for 12 hours, i feel much better. My throat still aches, my body, hot. but still, i feel like screaming:

ORIENTATION 2010 WAS A SUCCESS!!! WOOTS!!

it all started on wednesday night, 3/2/10. council dance pratice session, mr leow's dry run. which was really running around on dry ground, to the destination in which your AI states. tiring, but refreshing i suppose. i vistied the artic that night, scrunched up into a ball, there i was sleeping on the stage beside lee hui and analise. then morning arrived. oki that's ironic, i slept in the morning, and woke up still in the morning.

preparation. not the mention that awful stomachache. but all was peaceful when analise, andrew and me trooped down to the car porch to welcome the new j1s. haha, it was quite fun and hilarious as more and more ogls came and joined in. yao tian was like scaring all the j1s that came in. it was a pity he wasn't utilised during night games. haha. we tried all sorts of greetings--thanks to wei cheng. we went from japanese to thai to who-knows what. then we wanted something 'refreshing'. we lined up in a row. when the campers walked past, we started with 'good morning' followed by 'good afternoon' then 'good night' wahaha... it was really cute!! oki, greetings done. it was morning assembly then rush to prepare games 1. games 1 was quite successful as it brought the campers up to a high!!!! haha then it was preparation for games 2. by the end of round 2 of games 1, my throat was hoarse, my voice sounded weird.

under the scorching sun, we prepared for games 2. haha finally got water!!!!!!!!!!the campers' mood was a bit down, maybe they were too tired. or it was because of the weather. but our games attche tried their very best. great job!!!^^ it ended early because of lightning risk, so we did cheers instead, which was a relief and at the same time, a breather. haha.after which, it was setting up of night games. kk and me were allocated the dance room to decorate. which was quite an oki job haha. quite fun. thanks to the seniors  who helped, and kept stuffing bananas into our mouths. then we rushed to class 303 and 304 to help with the station: flashlight over and out. haha tying raffia string to overturned chairs and tables. my maze was uber high level, so proud of myself. haha during the tying, me and kk kept talking about random stuff to entertain the other two attaches, joon how and dennis. haha. then we went to the hall to listen to pei qin and asief's story on the mystery of stairway 66. randy and alan has gone missing!!!! then we watched a scary video. naturally, my head went down and i stopper my ears with my fingers. haha i seriously hate horror. anyways, was helping out with the station 'secret pal' not pau ah, then was called halfway to set up telematch. woohoo!!! really need to thank sherman for all his guidance and kenneth for talking to me during the string tying session of telematch set up , and of course pitsoon, who planned and oversee everything, haha not to mentioned francis haha so funny. it was quite fun setting up telematch. though we worked from 8 to about 12, but it was fruitful nevertheless. Sherman said it was his first time that a telematch set up took such a sort period of time. yay!!!
the mr leow shooed us to go and sleep.

day 2!!! ah!!!! telematch.. had to become games emcee suddenly, cause we worked on a round one do next round break system. but of course, i chose to stay for both rounds, after all, its my  game, job and duty. haha i'll do well in the police force man!!! oki, game emceeing wasn't very good, cause it was my first time. but nevertheless, i tried. the campers loooovvvvvvved the last segment where there was water and soap!! haha so fun!!! oki, overall, its was oki. then it was finale. mr leow gave all attaches a prep talk. though we are tired, though we feel tired, but we cannot show that we are tired.  finale was oki, sorry to let you down fitri!!!!! the campers enjoyed themselves, and it rained. haha showers of blessings i guess??? ^^ well, the finale only lasted about 45 mins before the lightning alert came. we did cheers again. but it was uber fun!!! haha then we gave them family time.games did our own mini debrief. it was quite emotional, but we all pulled through for the two days!!!! great job gamers!! veron and me rushed to talk the maths quiz. me in soaked clothes and a spoilt sandal haha but quite thrilling!!!! then i went to look for a place to shower, which was quite impossible cause the toliets were choked with campers. ended up queuing outside the hall toilet and rushing the people who were inside to hurry up.

the highlight of day 2: JJ NIGHT!!!! WOO!!! love it, all the dances and of course, our council dance!!! have lots of fun!!! thanks* zai wei for dancing with me the fast songs. haha sort of abandoned him during chori chori to dance on stage. thanks* yoong zhen for dancing with me during the slow dance.had fun when he was twirling me around. haha so funny. the emo songs were all so nice. i crieed thrice duing jj night. one cause of kk!!! stupid guy, leaving us to go to poly. will miss him dearly. second was when we went on stage, seeing the hard work and effort that each and everyone of us put in, i was really touched. mr leow hugged everyone of us!!! the last time was hugging hui yi!! awwww.. love everyone of you!!!!!

then we had debrief and clearing up. haha i was tasked to do most of the sweeping cause i had the uber bug mop with me. grrr chong cher ask me to clear rubbish!!!! what rubbish!! haha but still cleared it in the end. haha hmm.. after that, we bathed and slept in the garbage room.(just a room covered with garbage bag).

day 3: emo day+ area clearing. haha!!!! cried again.... when mr leow was telling us about his own personal story. haha am quite an emotional person aren't i? haha anyways, after the j1s were released, we continued to clear up. then we trooped down--us a sea of bright red 29 council tee to je's astons for lunch+ dinner. haha it was nice!!!!! then headed home.shagged!!!

well... it was a great experience overall. still a bit tired. but have to study already. haha so yeah!!! it will be a memory that is hard to forrget. i want to soak up every moment of it. every moment.

thank God sooooo much for this experience. i'll really treasure it!!

1st post of 2010 @10:20 PM;
currently sniffing, and rubbing my red nose again and again. i feel as if the flesh between my nose and lips is going to peel off any second. this would mpst probably be my retibution for not sleeping and playing non-stop for more than 14hours. woah. yup, you're right. i'm suffering the aftermath of the '2010 countdown cheer all you can' activity.

it all started from yesterday--
7pm was suppose to get on the mrt heading towards city hall. but according to li hui, lim ying and des were late. so took the 7.15pm train instead. weijian was supposed to be on the same train as us but, you now as usual, a leopard never really change its spots-- he was late, so we headed to city hall without him.

reached city hall and met up with bryant.then subsequently, the rest which consists of mei yu, chee guan, vathsala(miss you girl!), wei qi, yue hua, eileen, ann perng da gor, sathia, syafiq and gf shu fen(also from jj) and daron.

we got to the bridge (under it to be exact) beside the esplanade. and you know what the best thing was? we sat beside a 'great' landmark-- a power generator. wow! haha but it was better than nothing. though we got there pretty late( it was about 8 plus, the other 'campers' most probably sat got there around 4 pm), at least we got to see the fireworks, and the float if you can ask two guys to give you a lift up. coming around 8 plus was just right, it would be too late if we came at 9. the barricades were swarmed by police and security officiers, not to mention THAT crowd.

izwan, murni and wei jian came a bit later. eileen and vath went home early :(.
there was some drama after the barricades were set up and closed. two jokers 'escaped' and ran under the bridge, but they were caught soon after, handcuffed back hand their backs. what a way to end off the year-- getting caught by security officiers.

to while off the rest of the two hours before countdown, we played various games like follow the leader, pass the message and zhong ji mi ma. haha i still remember what was egg-head daron's message:
sexy sanata is selling seventy (super) sexy seashells on sentosa seashore. we sort of misse dout the super. grr. whatever!! it was still a good try.ooo the fun thing about these games was the forefit was just to dance in the middle. haha izwan, yue hua, des and wei qi got to do the forefit haha. we were sort of the center of attention that night cause we were making quite a racket. plus we were quite entertaining too. weiqi's youngest brother and cousin's came for the countdown too. her little brother, and cousins morgan and hagen. hagen's birthday happened to be today 01/01, 12am.  woah lucky boy.

anyways, the fireworks were a dazzling display, an array of red, blue, green ,purple and gold, shooting up into the sky, lingering for a brief moment, leaving a trail of smoke, before bursting into the wide and bright display of colours. it was beautiful. there were different types of fireworks, each looked like its own shooting star, blooming into a flower. just being able to witness this performance, it was a blessing. looking at the tiny stars twinkling in the sky ofr just that few moments felt like this year would really be a great year.

after the breathtaking, throat hoarsed sceaming and cheering fireworks display, it was time to go. haha i took us about an hour just to walk from the bridge to raffles place mrt station. we went along shouting "happy new year!!" to everyone we met. haha so we were quite the noisy bradly bunch^^ but it was really awesome to be back together with the 25th again. the guys were really protectively of the girls haha they were like: keep close, if any touches you, tell me. guys, protect the girls. form a circle around them. awwww... so sweet!!! haha it was great.

anyways, ann perng, li hui, wei qi, bryant, daron, syafiq, shu fen and me headed to yue hua's home for a sleep over--literally. we didn't get ANY sleep at all!!

due to some bus problems, he walked, and hike for about half an hour to about 45 mins from bukit batok bus interchange to her house. thus, from we reached her house at around 2.15am. we slacked and laze around in the living room, to cool down before bathing. thanks* daron for the cup noodles. haha wei qi, bryant and daron had a go on the red mini swing in yue hua's house, while syafiq and shu fen were 'minding their own businesses' haha then i went to bathe after bryant.

when all was said and done ( meaning the misc stuff were done) we sat down a playede monopoly. we tag team, li hui and daron, bryant and a very reluctant wei qi(at first) , me and da gor ann perng ( who was the 2nd runner-up at some monopoly competition) haah oki, my luck was quite good, blessings from God, i bough all the train stations. ^^ weiqi  was scolding bryant thoughout the first half of the game. haha it was hilarious and the first wonderful memory of 2010, next to the fireworks display. haha i wished we could have shot a video of the entire monopoly game!!! haha. in the end, the underdogs(wei qi and bryant won). our team came in second, li hui and daron were officially bankrupt!!! haha. bryant was boasting about his 'strategy' -- keep on going to jail to avoid paying for any rental, esp when we owned hotels haha. they were even richer than the bank, which was taken care of by yue hua.. who was distracted by talking to ann perng about training dogs. haha. then daron , bryant and i took a power nap. but who could sleep when the rest were playing uno on the same bed. haha they were like laughing at one another. it was quite funny too^^

monopoly ACTUALLY lasted from 3am in the morning to about 5am !!!! like what in the world.. now i understand why time flies when you're having fun. at about 7 am, we headed out of the house and towards mac for breakfast. before going home. woah.. what a day. quite tired now haha but it was fun nevertheless. a great way to usher in the new year. there's cabinet council outing tmr. going out again. haha

chong cher gor gave me some tips to start and end this post. a one-liner:
"my gor ask me to go and sleep, so i will be a good girl and go and sleep"
there, finished. haha hmm.... his advice is kind of short.

well, HAPPY 2010 GUYS!!!
HAVE A BLESSED YEAR!

that wound on my tiny little finger @3:17 PM;
Though its already 2 days past Christmas, but i still have an unfulfilled Christmas wish.. and that is for my fingers to recover. the rash seems to be spreading. From my ring finer to my middle finger. the little pinkie on my right hand seems to have caught the bug too. hopefully it'll be allright...

i need to refrain form seafood as well as my love--nuts :( that's really depressing.
NO MORE PEANUT BUTTER
NO MORE GROUND NUTS
NO MORE, NO MORE..

sigh... well hopefully this little sacrifice will be able to cure my finger, then i don't need to keep waking up in mt sleep to scratch that icthy little thing. when dawn breaks, i don't need to see the pus oozing out of the wound i 'conjured' out during the night.----then i won't have the relentless fear of the need to amputate my finger. then i won't need to apply the cream,that mum says is filled with steriod and that i feeding my wound with drugs.just the mere thought of it scares me.

here i am, rantting about this little wound i have and my bespectacled face is peering at it now.
i'm just wishing that it will all go away..

it will all go away...

Whirlwind Christmas! @10:40 PM;
it has been a WHIRLWIND CHRISTMAS EVE--hence the blog title. haha met up with not one, not two, but seven friends today to pass them my presents^^ yippeee!!! hope that they liked what i gave them^^
well. would like to wish everyone of my friends, family members, EVERYONE:
BLESSED CHRISTMAS!!!!

yesterday was gift exchange day for cabinet council--pictures are on facebook. hehe was quite fun, hui yi, rab and me were like running around from vivo to harbourfront centre to look for gifts to buy for our exchange partners. i dipped and got jia cheng. woah hard man!!! wanted to buy a bracelet for him, but couldn't find a suitable one, or that the bracelelt cost a bomb. haha so got him this poster that said: when i fart, i blush which was uber cute. seriously!!! and three badges with tortise and emoticons on it. initiall i bouth him a tagged which said: shadd up. but i lost it along our 'amazing gift race' :( so was quite sad. i got a bag of sweets from michelle!!! the bag itself was gorgeous already, plus it came in a silver box which was quite authentic^^ haha. then took jump shots in which i was apparently blocked in some of them but who cares? haha it's the fun that counts!!

anyways, i did some mini cushions for six of my friends so here are the pictures:



before, the outline stage, using tiny coloured beads. mixture of read and blue.


stage two is to fill the outline with coloured sequins of your choice. tedious i know, but the final product is worth it:

don't forget to add your initials at the back^^ i used the thread to form: with love clare.
next stage is to add stuffing--cotton wool, not too full as you need to sew it up. the mini cushion will look like this:

isn't it cute? haha.
if you like, you can also add tiny details using leftover beads:


heart shape or bunny motif are uber adorable :)

or you can just add simple star shape sequins^^.
so here are all the 6 designs that i made:


yup, these are all the products.


i personally like the back cause there are my initials^^



of course i did receive presents in return:

some of the presents are not in here though. cause they are either in the fridge, or in my stomach (thanks xiang rong for the fries)>< haha
of course my personal favourite:

uber cute piano pedal socks from my piano teacher!!! woohooo!!!! haha
then mum bought this really huge dinner bundle from crystal jade. there was turkey and burgers:

mushroom pastry!!!!

my personal favourite: hotdog cocktail!!! oops.. haha where did one go? guilty of eating it^^

turkey and chicken cutlet. mum said that log cake feast it tomorrow. haha cannot wait!!!

my dinner. mum said i should eat porridge, since i was so giddy after rushing from je to home to jurong spring cc to boon lay. haha. thanks for being able to nake it people!!!
this month of december have been filled with hope, and crashes. ups and falls.
i'm still in a state of confusion. of trying very hard to supress some feelings of outburst and maybe outrage.
haven't been sleeping or eating well due to that.
i wish i can rewind back to the time where everything was normal for me. to me.
well, just hope that i can hang in there. i really want to reach my ultimate goal!!!
i must not forget my ultimate goal.
press on clarissa, push forward.
don't look back, just keep going forward and excel!
don't look back.
don't look back.


HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS!
PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!!!
LOVE YOU GOD!

learn to let go @3:58 PM;
Forget to add in the previous post:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YONG KANG XIAO DI!

haha. oki, now that that's said and done. here to rant again. hmm.. i felt
GREAT!!!!! on saturday.woohoo.. so it was like a breath of fresh air for me, on that day.. well as said by irene, tomorrow will be better!!^^

oki, today was day 1 of my present giving day--its tough being a teenage santa, haha cause all my friends have diff committments, so i need to meet them at diff timing etc. haha
haven't been doing much studying lately too. cause had to settle some stuff haha.. i guess^^ hehe.
hmm.. well this week will be filled with present giving and celebrations. haha

i hope that i can forget about all this..
i have this new resolution:
1) set a target everyday and fufil it everyday.
2) that target everyday is suppose to help you reach your ultimate goal
3) my ultimnate goal is: haha i'm not telling you
maybe only my cloest friends know but, i really what to achieve my ultimate goal. i really need to achieve it!!!

haha.hmm.. maybe instead of  new year resolution, i can have a christmas resolution. hmm...haha
i really want to do something for myself and achieve something forr myself, i don't really want to care about .. as in care too much about others. haha hopefully i can sort of 'pamper' myself this once,just this once, i don't want my heart too have too many scars, it has braved quite a number of winds alone, and out  of sight. though i have friendswhom i can pour my heart out, but i still would rather face them alone sometimes. but just this once. till i achieve it, i hope that my heart won't need to have so many scars.

as said by this girl in this korean drama: glory of the family:
the best way to show someone who doesn't love you that you love them, is if you give up on loving that person. 

haha well.. maybe? i'm not so sure.but i think it sounds quite magnanimous doesn't it ^^
hmm.. hopefully i'll have a happy and great Christmas with all my friends and that they will all like my gifts!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE--in advance!!

another rocky week @8:53 PM;
another rocky week. again.

though the best day was wednesday, cause i ge tto go out with mum-FINALLY!
got taylor swift's platinum edition cd of 'fearless'+ clothes. haha been a long time since i've sort of replenished my wardrobe. bought some new outfits.. cheap and the bes thting...-----almost all are free-of-charge!!! thanks to the causeway point vouchers we got haha.

anyways, still struggling with the mixed emotions i have lately. comprising of confusion, pain, a bit of envy and basically just angry with myself. haha its like. "why can't i control my own emotions." i've been telling myself the same line over and over again "aviodance is a necessary evil" and an additional one: 'get real, move on' haha well.. its kind of working cause i don't feel that much pain already. though sometimes i still get confuse.
this blog is so useful for me to just type and rant on and on about emotions, when half the time, my readers may not know what i'mtalking about.

just want to tell people out there if you're as confused as me, its good to take a time off and just talk aloud to yourself, about youur worries and stuff.(do it in your room or a private and personal space when you're alone, or to a friend but ask he/she to be silent and just listen). after pouring it out to yourself, you'll find that actually things aren't that bad after all. in addition, sometimes you're the only one who has the answers to your worries/ troubles.

well... i'm kind of envious that some of my friends get to do stuff that i don't get to do. its like they have it all going their way, with additional opportunities. hmm.. well.. i guess that's reality.

when i was little i used to think about what talents i have and that even if i don't have a talent now, when i grow up, i'll realise what's my talent. however, now that i'm 17.. i still don't know my talent. hopefully God has a plan for me. haha i'm just a nobody, but i'm happy and glad to be a nobody! but sometimes when i look at my friends or the people around me. i cannot help but notice their god qualities their talents, then look at myself and wonder.. do i have any talents? haha well..  that's food for thought.

that's about all folks. i really hope things will get better cause its CHRISTMAS WEEK next week. plus i want to give out my presents with a HUGE SMILE. hopefully... it'll come back.. i pray earnestly. hopefully.
