A perfect picnic

Surely, it was a successful picnic at the sea @ WCP with partial Ohana!
Next time next time next time with Felicia, Guolian anf Zhuang Wei okay :D


Just look at how obliging Ohanies can be:
Zirui brought mango puddings and two tall cartons of fruit juice.
Zhiwei brought grapes and.. LIU LIAN LIU LIAN LIU LIAN~
Max brought raised tofu, exotic frozen veggies with wasabi and chicky..
YY brought the pancakes and ahballings from our dear Mr Bean
Angie and YC made Smiley Crepes and 爱心沙律 hee!
After all the gorging came PLAY-TIME ;D YAY!


First stop:

It was the Pyramid with the fun slides.
To think I only had the courage to climb after 21 years..
- _ -

Second stop:
An extremely exciting obstacle race between the guys and the girls!!
Wow. It's been nong nong time since we last raced against one another le.
Wahahha. Reminds me of our seconday school days ah :)


Third stop:
After all the adrenaline rush,
We all rested on a really relaxing swing :)
摇啊摇~摇到睡着了。
Even had a captain to cradle us wor heheh.
(But no, I dowan Captain Max please! )


Fourth stop:
Flying Fox!! Waaa~ It was fabulous, my goodness.
You should really try it yourself!


Fifth stop:
WWF @ Balance Beams D:
Ohmy. Ohanies are getting violent already..
*ATTARKS*


Last stop:
Star-gazing by the sea with serene music.. Love it.
What a perfect way to end the picnic isn't it? Hehe.
We were home at around 2am in the morning. Amazing!


To me, playing as if we were little kids certainly beats clubbing :)
Thanks thanks for all the fun that night dears.
Hope you felt it too! Peace.


p.s. Sheer sweetness wahaha

Let's look to the sky.

Apprenhensive me took a leap of faith and participated in this
NUS Appreciating Lives, Initiating Volunteering, Everyday! 10km Run
despite not jogging for like 2-3 years?!! Oh my goodness, what a blonde right?


But here I'm proud to say that, I did it.
Without strolling or stopping at all.
It's really a personal achievement for me!
Whenever there were thoughts of fatigue or negativity like:

"Ohmy still got 5km leh!"
"Wah I feel so tired."
"My legs are giving way!"



I'll immediately eliminate those thoughts and replaced them with positive ones like:
"Oh I'll just get to the tree in front of me!"
"I'll just run to the next shelter!"
"The finishing line is just ahead of me!"


These thoughts, worked wonders for me! Thank god.
Seems like I'm fuelled by short term goals eh?
Ah, I understand myself a little better.


Now it's crystal clear to me that it's not distance that matters, it's my willpower.


Would like to translate this willpower into my life, into the things I do.
Instead of lamenting over the undesired environment or conditions I may encounter,
I hope to overcome it with my willpower, just like how i did it in this marathon,
just like what i see in Max. I take my hat off you man :)


Comrades,
WE ARE GREAT!



p.s.
Just hoping that more Ohanies will join us in all the sun and fun la :)
Thinking of a silly club name called OMEGA -
(Ohana Must Exercise a Great deal Ah!)
Any better ideas on the name dears? =p

拥抱大自然

Sorry sorry my dear Angie and Zhiwei.
I overlooked the fact that I'll be SCHOOL mates with the 2 of you!! =D
NIE's news has gotten me over the moon that I forgot all about NTU..
So good, next time i can study·stalk·gorge with yall le ;) Muahahhaha.



Last Friday, went to Cityhall with Fel & YY to get Tsuhui's present and for YY's 廖老师!
Wheee. Went to Loving Hut for dinner and we bumped into 宝华姐姐~
Friendly lady isn't she? :D Tom's Palette for some extraordinary ice cream.
The ice cream that goes *pop pop* Hehe.. Leme Leme at MRT!!



Last Saturday, was Tsuhui's 21st birthday celebration :)
Feels great to get together once in a while ah.
And i finally saw Jacob and Jayden in real life! So cute so cute so cute ahgugu.
It was extremely thoughtful of Tsuhui and her family to prepare vegetarian food just for me.
Really appreciated that man :') Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Also thanks thanks Esther Ng for sending me home! Pure kindness.



Last Sunday, we conquered Bukit Timah Hill ;D Cheerios comrades~
Hope more will get under the sun with us! It's healthy and fun to me la.
Mother Nature, she's beautiful. Feels really relaxed in the Her embrace :)
The thought of getting up early to accomplish something,
and left with abundant time to savour the rest of the day bit by bit somehow heartens me.
Wouldn't want to wake up just to realise half of the day is already gone..
What a waste don't you think?



希望你我的周末都能过得很充实！=)



p.s. Guolian take care over there! We'll miss you too.

♥ Like a perfect plan

Happy 21st birthday Maxie :)
Again i have to say that,
i really admire your honesty in love.
& thanks thanks for your generosity (always!)
No matter what, we love you to the max.


Like a dream come true.
My delayed admission was all worthwhile,
because i get to be classmates with you ;D
Indefinable joy that words can't tell.
Magically I was at the right place at the right time hehe..
Just went up and down, up and down!! Haha.
Hope you feel it too :) NIE, here we come!



p.s. 受宠若惊？

Back or forth.

It was Zhuang Wei's simple and sweet 21st birthday celebration at Swensens the other day :)


Heh heh, hope he likes the mango ice-cream cake and bag from us ah! Wahaha.


Then we had Maxie's magnificent 21st birthday celebration.


Before that, had a ktv practice session with Wenhui, YY and Zhen Xiang~


Nice nice nice. Splendid time spent together :)



Thanks thanks Maxie and family for their great hospitality man.


Familiar songs, fantastic food and fun simply filled the ballroom la! Hahahha.


Sang songs 珊瑚海，傻瓜，带我走，柠檬草的味道，一眼瞬间，非卖品 ，安静了


with Maggie, Rachel, Samuel and Yuyuan for our first time in front of an audience!!


(Wish I can sing with Ohana one day too..)


Dare to shine darlings!


Then it was PLAY for our post-party activity, I'd say it was an eye-opener for me.



I can, but somehow i'd like to have a strong foothold I guess? Hahha.


Then in the morning, it was brunch at Happy Realm with



Sing Chun, Yuyuan, Zhiwei and Zhuang Wei!!



Yummy yum yum~ Followed by a short meet-up at City Hall with Jing Yi :)



Oh, what a wacky weekend full of love.






p.s. We're sorry snail.. :( Hope you won't become a snail the next time..

I believe.

♥ Love rewind. Too much to to thank for.

Last Friday:
The Ohana surprise was really extremely successful ah.
Hahahhahhahahahha! Just the thought of it will send me into giggles.
I seriously think this joke will be passed down in the future Ohana generations la ;D
But more importantly, think I've learnt much from Guolian, Zhiwei and Zirui
through the chat we've never had before. Thanks man :) It was nice!

Last Saturday:
Firstly, I'd really like to thank Jingyi for accompanying me
to bring some students for a composition writing competition!!
You've really done me a great big favour bud.
Then we went to Tampines for a rewarding meal~ Heheh.
Thanks for the OiO ah!! :D Then we went jogging at with her family @ Labrador Park!
Indeed exercising makes people happy.

Last Sunday:
Then it was my first time going to the study room after like 3 years? Ohmy.
To my surprise, I saw Zhuang Wei and Jia Hui over there too! lol~
Just fyi, I've started studying the materials for my course
to better prepare for the learning journey ahead.
And all credit goes to my helpful colleague Wenhui,
for searching high and low for her notes and books to help me.
Goodness gracious me, isn't she kind?
THANK YOU THANK YOU :)

Yesterday:
It was Freshness Factor before going to the Mind Cafe with Maggie, Rachel and co.
It was Ladies' Night so it was free for us! Woohoo :D

Maybe next time Ohana can go together~
Thanks thanks for the goodie bag & the handmade invitation Maggie!!
Thought it was really sincere of you la :)

Today:

I received the official letter of admission into NIE, 25 July 2011.
For a moment like this~~ I'm thankful for the fact that I didn't have to wait for a lifetime.

During Contact Time just now, the principal actually announced to everyone

that I'll be leaving for NIE. I was rather taken aback at the unexpected congratulation!

Subsequently many colleagues congratulated me ah. Felt so honoured :)

Looking forward to my new phase of life this 2011.

Hoping that we'll be classmates! How great will that be?

其实师姐也不错啦 :P

Starting to embark on the ascend step by step.

Gracias for sharing my joy sweet tarts!

I thank you very much ♥

p.s. I hope that Felicia & Guolian will perform well in the upcoming exams,

Maxie to enjoy his schooling life with his new found confidence,

and Yuyuan to have a successful lesson delivery tomorrow!

The Gift.

♥ ♥

10 May 2011,

The day finally arrived.

TYVM :)

Holding on to..

♥

Believe was born yesterday,

now she's sitting on my bed.

Silently and supportive,

To spur me towards my dream.

My gratitude goes out to Angie.

:)

Maybe because of an unfulfilled childhood dream,

I have always admired people who can play the piano beautifully.

Mesmerising isn't it?

Wonderfully meaningful.

How was your weekend? Hope you're happy amidst. Here's a slice of mine :)

Friday.

Met up with my primary school friends- Seow Ting and Elainey~ Despite not meeting up often, our conversations seem to run deep.. I've learnt much from their words and experiences really. Honestly, i'm amazed by this decade long friendship :) Jiayou Elaine! Jiayou Seow Ting! Jiayou YC!

* * *

Saturday.

Brought students to Mr Tian's school, AIPS aka Love Primary School for a competition! (Nice name isn't it?) Then we went to MOE Excel Fest @ Suntec City. To think we bumped into Jingyi & her Dudu (姑姑) They were actually at Loving Hut before us. Later that night, Jingyi smsed me saying "YY YC look so cute together!" Oh really? I think she's referring to ME ahahhahha just joking la =p I suspect we look like brother and sister..

Lucky has finally found his/her rightful owner le

:)

* * *

Afterwards was Joycelyn's 21st birthday party! Woohoo~ I love attending birthday parties. To me, these are precious moments that'll probably come once in a lifetime.

The most powerful pinata ever!

Joycelyn had to 'cut' it with a SKEWER and KNIFE lol!

Happy family.

Wow. We've grown so much.

Sunday.

In the morning, we visited 爷爷 but lovingly known as 公公 by us. As usual we'll talk to him about what's happening in our lives to keep him updated. Granny said, 你看她们都要读大学了。。可是公公你没有福气看。 When i heard this sentence, heart sank a little. 我们真的长大了。 I don't know if this is purely concidence or something else.. But for 3 consecutive occasions on our way back from visiting grandpa, i always hear this song 爷爷 :).. Is it you? I would like to make them proud. NIE, my dream. Be with me.
