Steamboat! + Goodbye.=)
Hello
=D We had a steamboat at Jiamin's house yesterday as a "sending-off" thingie for um. Me. Haha. Although technically Joyce and Wendy are leaving soon too. But anyway.
First off, I must apologise to WENDEE! and ZEELEI! and MATTHEW! and JOEL! because I made this:
And promptly forgot to get everyone to eat it when we got distracted by the Crab forks and Penguin spoons! Haha.=X =X =X I deeply apologise. Joyce, Vivion, Jiamin and I made good work of it! ^_^"
And a closeup of my very first time trying to decorate a cake:
Hmm. I'd say its not bad for my standards. Haha.=P
Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone for taking time off to come! ^_^ And although I squawked in horror when my camera died [EVERYONE, YOU BETTER SEND ME PHOTOS], we managed to take a couple of shots that were okay and "romantic" before it really and truly died. Haha.=)
Yay! Seat partners! ^_^ Except I usually sit on Joel's right. Haha.
Another camwhoring moment with Jiamin.^_^
I love how my friends are so enthusiastic about taking photos. Haha.
I really like this shot!!! It's very um. Candid. Haha.=D
^_^
^_^v Hehe.
Anyway, I must thank everyone for their gifts! [And if I left anyone out, GOMEN NASAI! I will um. Correct it as soon as possible. *nods seriously*]
Wendy: Emotibuds! xD SO CUTE. Haha. And pink matches my black MP3 player.=D Yay. Plus don't you think "starry-eyed" describes my bimboticness quite well?
Joyce: Bag Charm! =D I was thinking very hard which bag to attach it to you know. Haha. I still haven't figured it out yet though.X__x
Simin: Book on Chocolate! xD Great reading material.=D Haha. And there I was, worrying that I didn't have a food book to read.=P Thank you!
Vivion: Le Petit Prince! =D Dies. What if my roommate thinks I'm all philosophical and everything when she sees it?! Haha. I have converted it into my "storing watches and hair stuff" box for the moment. Beams! Better than storing earrings please. All the earrings will just get lost if I know myself.
Jiamin: AHH. Once again, you trump me at the "photo scrapbooking" thing. Haha.=D Beams beams. There are so many unglam shots.. But you redeem yourself by including nice photos of us as well.=D Hehe. Jason will never forgive you I tell you. Your sister also. Haha. ^_^ And, thanks for the webcam! I swear I will wake up early in the morning so I can talk to you all via MSN webcam when its night for you. Oh how sacrificial I am! Haha. And theres even a mic!!! =D =D =D SO COOL PLEASE. Haha.
Joel and Zeelei!: Thanks for your cards.=D Email ah email! Beams.
Hmm. When I was going through everything before I went to sleep [and after I was zooming around my room organising things to pack today], I have to admit I was tearing. I know. How strange. Surely this is like, a "happy" moment so to speak that we are all finally set on some kind of path and not hanging around in limbo. But at the same time, you also realise that well.. What friendship you had before will never be the same again, not only because time changes things but also the environments we'll be in and the new friends we will be making/have made.
It's not that I think everyone will move on in their respective locations and promptly forget, but I think that when everyone is reunited next year, it'll be quite different from now when we're all still emerging from our JC friendship.
Still, I hope that we'll all keep in touch but if it so happens that somehow people have moved on from all this later, I won't say it was something I couldn't imagine would happen. Such is reality. And such is life. But I shall remain positive about the friendships I've made and how close I am to these people.=) It's been an enriching experience to say the very least and it's been great fun.
I put up these collages last year when we graduated but .. it does capture some of our JC happiness.^_^
School life.
Randomness in and out of school.
Our last day of school.
So yes. Thanks you guys! ^_^ I'll miss you all. And remember to tag this blog in future! If not you can support the food blog by commenting and yelling at me to stop talking about American junk food. Haha.=D And I realised that I haven't done Midweek Men in ages! Gosh. Everyone must tell me about their latest obsessions so I have new inspiration.=D Haha.
See you on Tuesday!
cheers

Chocolates and a Party
Hello
There was a party, so to speak, at Thng's house. Hm. Now that I think about it.. I wouldn't call it a party? More like a gathering. O.oBut his house is REALLY nice. Ahaha.=P Everyone is in love with the design of his house.. It's very.. resort-like! *beams* And it's huge, which of course contributes to the resort-like atmosphere. Despite the spacious interiors of his house, it doesn't feel empty because of the great use of space by his parents [or the interior decorator]. The whole place feels well taken care of, so one really cannot tell if it was a recently built house or just a very well maintained abode.The food was catered and they had a bartender.xD Haha. Limited types of alcohol but generally quite a hospitable household.=P As for entertainment, there were live bands.=D Haha. Like, they just set up some amplifiers and started singing and playing on the guitar.
^_^vAfter [and before] people came to my house to wolf down the 100 handmade truffles. I think my friends have made a significant dent in the box. Good work! xD I must invite people over more often to finish the food in my house.. Haha.=X Especially people in need of feeding. Like Joyce! =D Yay.I am so tired.-___- I wonder though. How much alcohol would it take to get me drunk? Hmm..cheers*[-witchstone-]*[music : Shallow Sleep HYDE][mood : ^_^][food : chicken rice?]Jiamin: Hmm. But I've seen Catch me if you can like, THREE MILLION TIMES. *coughs* *attempts to defend self*Brenda: Hmm. After thinking about it.. It's not quite incestuous right? Because Gong Li isn't his REAL mother. She's just considered his mother because she's the queen and he's a prince.=Ppixiezdust: xD I know. I totally should have taken a photo. O well. And anyway, scanning in those postcards was a lot easier than scanning in a magazine or something. So it really was nothing.^_^ I'm really grateful to those who really scan in magazines though. And photobooks too..Labels: acjc, misc

ACJC Baccalaureate Service 2006
Hello
WARNING: IMAGE-HEAVY POST!
Today, we're officially out of ACJC and off in this world, all alone. We've Graduated! ^_^ The horrors of JC life are [almost] over!!! xD
We had the Baccalaureate Service today, an annual affair dedicated to the J2s, wishing them the best of luck in all their future endeavours. While I felt the chapel service itself [especially the songs] was rather meaningful [urhh.. The Songs.], I thought that it was the Arts Fac Committee who truly tried to do something for us to help us remember all that's happened. ^_^ Three Cheers to Siyou! Who was haha.. Really hilarious.=D Beams! It drew some tears but mostly lots of laughter from everyone.^_^
The familiar sight in the hall that people constantly refer to.. Hoping that really really really long speeches [by certain individuals] would end soon.
Coincidentally, the school logo is there too.^_^ The Best Is Yet To Be.
Another familiar sight..
"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty."
^_^ I like this phrase actually.. I think it's a very beautiful line.=) And it reminds me of one of my favourite Christian songs that we sing in Chapel, Still. [Speaking of which I loved the songs we sang today.^_^" Jiamin was like, you were damn loud! Oops. =X But I really liked the songs!!! Haha.=X]
Random Photo Insertion!
The sports complex and track in all its hazy glory! ^_^
Then, we all gathered at the NL and.. We presented the class with our gift! A piniata! =D [I don't actually know how to spell it so.. I came up with the spelling myself.^_^"]
Wee! It's a blue dragon! [Jiamin thought it was a dinosaur.-_-"] =D Haha. It's quite cute in a spastic manner I think. *beams*
I don't have pictures of Mr Ngoei whacking it to pieces at the moment but this is what happened..
Poor Dragon.
It's sad demise:
(T_T)
And the hard work that failed:
The hook couldn't hold the piniata and in the end, we hung it as you can see from above. ^_^"
After we distributed the sweets and all the stuff that was in the piniata, it was phototaking time! ^_^ I know it's kind of bizarre to take photos as if you'd never see each other again. But then again.. It's the whole "mood" of the day. Who cares if we'll see each other again? ^_^ It's a great time to take photographs and.. we made full use of this opportunity. =D
Beams! Jiamin Joyce Matthew Vivienne Wendy Zhi-Lei. Thanks for making life in AC that much better as we survived the storms as the "diversity" group!!! ^_^" [Ok. It doesn't really apply for like, Joyce Matthew Vivienne and Wendy but AHEM.] Thank you so much.^_^ I really appreciate all the help I've been given.. All the laughter we've had.. And most of all, all the experiences we've shared. ^_^v
And we really must thank our teachers! ^_^
Ngyahaha! Mr Tanu is SO CUTE.xD *beams* And Mr Ngoei is hilarious! =D Haha. And Madam looks great [as usual].=D Yay!!! And Mr Ngoei's proud of his car.=D It features prominently in many of our photos. Haha. ^_^
Baccalaureate was quite a non-event in and of itself but I really appreciated how we could have a last chance to take photos and create memories.^_^ Beams. And I really really really liked the Arts Fac videos [eye candy! xD] even though I wasn't a prominent feature [duh'o]. But it's lovely to see how other people are doing.=) Thank you for the laughs!
And most of all..
Thanks for the memories Jiamin Joyce Vivienne Zhi-Lei.=D Really. Thank you. =)
I'd have added more pictures but I made this beforehand.^_^"
Ganbatte for the rest of the time before the A levels. We can do it! ^_^
Our Hearts, Our Hopes, Our Aims are one
No discord e'er will sever
We'll stand together for the cause
Of ACS forever.
cheers

Graduation Eve
Hello
WARNING: IMAGE-HEAVY!
Today is the last official day in school since, technically, tomorrow we're just going to school for the baccalaureate service! ^_^ We were taking photos like crazy today and as proof, I have more than 100 photos from today alone and my camera battery is flat.O.o Terrible. Haha.=) But.. Allow me to share our joy and happiness with everyone.^_^
Also, please allow me to use collages since uploading all at once would be painful for both you and me.^^" [much thanks to Jiamin and her sister for telling me about picasa. Wee! ^_^]
The classmates:
^_^ The happy campers in our own NL2. ^_^
The friends:
*beams!* Our random shots around the school.=) Yay! [Notice that Jiamin+Vivion appear regularly. Now we know who loves the camera.xD]
The seat partners:
Yay! Sitting beside Joel entails a lot of prodding to wake him up. Haha.=D But he's a really nice person and although I hardly sat next to him in this last term, it's been a nice experience the past year.=) Beams.
The Post-It Corners:
*beams!* On 2 sides of the classrooms, we have fabulous post-it corners! ^_^ Aren't we totally creative? *beams!* I think the collage makes the images too small for you to actually read them though. Sad. I think some are rather cute.=D Yay!
The Land of Great Disparity [ie: Torture and Fun]:
LT6!!! Our ex-history LT!!! =D =D =D Many memories in this place since we also had our haunted house here.^_^ I always remember running like crazy up the stairs to dash into history lecture to avoid a glare and a scream from the Ngoei.xP Haha. But Fun-O-Rama! ^_^ It was such hard work trying to do up the whole place but in the end.^_^ Beams! Our efforts were definitely paid off.
[Most of] The Class:
Beams. We all went to Crystal Jade for dinner tonight.^_^ One of the rare class outings.=) Notice the King in the middle.^_^" Hehe.
It's been tiring.. fun.. and.. a whole range of emotions have passed through us these 2 years [maybe not us, but at least for me] and although I'm glad to be out of school, at the same time, it's a bit sad. All the great friends I've made in ACJC.. thinking about it, I really have to thank the school for bringing us together. ^_^ If none of us had chosen AC, we'd never have met or become friends. I love how life throws people together and makes something good come out of it sometimes.=)
After dinner, Vivion Jiamin and I went to Gelare to take advantage of the offer on Tuesday for their waffles. The plain waffles go at half-price for a measly sum of $3!!! Amazingly worth it.=D It's not the best waffle I've eaten in my life, but it was very acceptable.=D It was freshly made at least and not one of those disgusting heat-up types.=)
The waffle! I'm a waffle purist. I don't eat my waffles with anything but syrup [the whipped cream they gave me was horrendously bad.xP And I removed it. Quickly.]on it.=) Yay.
^_^ Our greed.
Gosh I'm really tired. Okay. Off to bed. Got to wake up bright and early for the Baccalaureate Service tomorrow.=) I'm looking forward to seeing how their videos will turn out after all the hard work my classmates have put into them.
Sing ACS forever more
Our ACS forever
God save our land and heaven bless
Our ACS forevercheers

Cut up nicely by Vivion!
*beams*I hope you guys did okay in S Lit! ^_^ Yay books. Haha. In the meantime.. We glammed it up in the library by slaving over one STUPID math question that was so tedious that the exam-paper makers decided to be generous *rolls eyes* by giving you 5 marks for it.
The offending question required that much slavery from us.xP Growls. I got so frustrated!!! Especially when Vivion kept finding careless mistakes. *sigh*Signs of a hardworking table! ^_^
[table of PEOPLE I mean. Not the actual.. You know. Table.]Anna got such a shock when she saw it. Ahaha.=P Oops.As you can tell. I'm not really in the mood for going into detail. So I'll leave you with a bunch of adorkable pictures!!! ^_^

Journey of the Crane and the Frog
Today, we witnessed an incredible journey..
The Journey of the Crane and the Frog.O alright. I admit. We were just playing around in class.^_^" Thanks to a sudden urge to fold urm. Some origami.WARNING: IMAGE HEAVY!Journey of The Crane and The Frog
Introducing our 2 leads! The Frog and The Crane! =) They will be starting on their journey in just a moment but they posed in this contrived manner just for us. ;)At the beginning..
The Crane flew aCross-Country in search of a friend and a distant land.. Long and arduous was the journey.. The Crane travelled high and far eventually reaching..
The Land of the Chatterbox Mountains.
Upon that mountain lived The Frog. It resided alone among the peaks overlooking vast areas of land and bored faces. In the distance, it could view the screen whenever it was bored to be sent to sleep..
To it's horror, it met The Crane when The Crane landed on the Chatterbox Mountains. They faced each other gravely. The Frog was dismayed to find that it's private land was invaded by this.. this.. WHITE creature that blends very well into the Chatterbox Mountains.
In a fit of anger.. The Frog did the unthinkable to our other favourite character in the story amidst the mountain plateau of the Chatterbox Mountains! All the better for hiding one's crimes..No! Cried The Crane. The Crane told The Frog of the wondrous sights of the world, far from the Chatterbox Mountains, full of Sunshine! [It also requested to be let out of the drippy mouth of The Frog.]
There! Cried The Crane. Do you not see the Land of the Fit? It is a long and winding path to the Land of the Fit. And our heroes must first pass through The Path.. One of Great Temptation..The Frog was amazed at the colours it witnessed amongst the leaves. Not all things blended in with The Crane!
The Redness dazzled The Frog. The gasp of air The Frog let out from it's Large Mouth tumbled The Crane and it lay against camouflage once again.Is this it? Is this the Path of Great Temptation?
The Frog opened it's mouth wide in an attempt to swallow all The Redness as quickly as possible. *burp*Our heroes have thus encountered the Path of Great Temptation. What lies ahead is the Greatest Challenge.. The Land of the Fat.
The Land of the Fat! Conquered by The Crane and The Frog. It lay in ruins, where even the Chatterbox Mountains had tumbled to the ground in defeat. RAWR! Our heroes said gleefully. They felt too heavy and full to move on.Are they to give in to the Land of the Fat?
*BURP*-THE END-

Random updates!
Malice Mizer will be releasing a 10th Anniversary Collection on the 18th of October.^_^ It's called La meilleur selection de MALICE MIZER. It's got 14 tracks of Malice Mizer releases up to Le Ciel. Poor Klaha seems to have been forgotten from all these special Malice Mizer releases.O.o Possibly because when he was with them they were under Midi:Nette whereas all these special releases are under Columbia.^_^ By the looks of it, it seems to be just a CD.=) La Collection des Singles was re-released [CD + DVD] in July 2006 [was originally released 2004].^_^
Gackt's Limited Release SACDs will start being released in October. ^_^ It'll follow the sequence that he's released his albums in it seems.. Starts with MARS on 25th October.=)
Gackt will be appearing on the HeyHeyHey! special on 25th September.^_^ I think it's their anniversary for being around for 13 years or something.^_^ Other guests include Amuro Namie, K, Otsuka Ai, Every Little Thing, Arashi, Tackey & Tsubasa [if I'm not wrong in reading the kanji..], Koda Kumi, Bonnie Pink, etc. I can't wait!!! ^_^ *prepares Bittorrent*
