Drive - Incubus
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear.
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel.
Chorus
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes.
Yeah.
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there, I'll be there.
So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive?
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself my light is found.
Chorus
Would you choose water over wine hold the wheel and drive?
Chorus
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there with open arms and open eyes.
Whatever tomorrow brings I'll be there I'll be there.
Tomorrow.

Ive been 18 for 3 weeks already but I havent done any 18 year old stuff yet!
Havent bought any booze, went to a club, or watched an M18 movie yet.
Though I had experienced all even before I was 18 :X
I cant wait to BE 18.
Haha.
Had another fanatabulous time over at Charlene's yesterday with the Zen tribe (:
Wenxin, Shamayne, Victoria Lim, Charlene Yiu&Reg were there ((:
We had a very early steamboat reunion dinner which consisted of Tom Yum & Chicken soup!
Had a splended spread of all sorts of balls, scallops, prawns, crabsticks, chicken, minced pork, clams&veggies.
Halfway we decided to stand up eating because we cldnt find our lost food in the pot.
Haha.
Even better, Reg forgot what she was looking for halfway after stirring the soup around the pot after like 5 rounds.
Ahaha (x
Took family photos after that.
Will post them up when I get them from Reg!
Played Asshole Daidee, Heart Attack (fun! haha)&had heavenly Chocolate&Strawberry gelato for dessert =D
We proceeded on to dance&prance around in Char's room after that haha.
We made lotsa manic videos!
Ahaha.
I think theyre going on YouTube BUT they had me in my Team SAJC shirt cos I came from trg -.-"
I hope I wont defame the school x/
Love you all very much!
Hope we can do this on more occasions (:
I really miss the funny/stupid/silly/dreadful times we spent in KC.
We went through everything together no matter if it was great fun or dead boring,
no matter how well or badly we've done in school.
We were all there when they happened.
Is it ironic that Graduation by Vitamin C is playing right now?!
Haha.
I'm so glad we're still hanging out, I really do.
Muchhhh love to all of you!
We will still be, friends forever (:

Balancing work+play is hard especially now.
Your priorities must be the right one (work) & you worry because of A Level year.
You have 2 extemely nice teachers you wldnt wanna disappoint, you have an extremely terrifying teacher which you wldnt wanna even think of disappointing and you have those teachers whose tutorials you can slap aside/chuck one corner unless you have a guilty conscience of not doing that particular tutorial/very free.
So the first 2 groups of teachers whose tutorials you die-die also must do.
The last group you put them lower in your priority/homework to-do list.
This is utter biasness/laziness whatever but Ive literally squandered my hours away trying to add in the play part -.-"
Yes the balance.
You cannot upset the balance.
Ahaha.
*smacks self*
I'm stuck in this shit now all because of me.
Well, kudos to caffeine though!
That's when it's a useful tool in late nights.
Opportunity cost?
Panda eyes the next day.
Haha.
I am so random.
Alright I'm so away from work that I'd better poke my face in the right places.

Birthday this year was sweet&memorable (:
My loveleeee class planned a surprise for me
which I (of course) didnt know about
so I didnt plan to go to school on Friday due to diarrhoea
which I've mentioned in the last post.
My lovely assistant class rep Michelle had to break it to me when I said I wasnt going to school on Friday -.-"
So after going to the doctor's, went to school for Phy Geog tut & Lit.
The class presented me with a beauuutiful huge personalised birthday card which was message-filled ((:
Plus a surprise birthday cake the usual SA way. Haha.
Felt extremely touched by their gesture!
Thanks, guys (:
On the birthday itself went for dinner at New York New York with the bowlers (:
Reg coordinated everything & at first I thought only me, Reg, Edwin, Nicholas & Glenn were the only ones going for dinner but the rest; Anuaar, Darryl, Liz, Shawn&Yewliang POPPED OUT (or came running cos that's what I saw! lol) from nowhere & surprised me.
Haha.
Had a surprise guest as well, & was none other than Uncle Paul!

Of course!
Haha was left in suspense while deciding what to order.
After which we went to visit Michelle at her workplace at Tommy Hilfiger at Raffles City (:
Were undecided of where to head to next so we ended up in a pub near Glenn's place.
Vic, Kevin, Hongliang, Raelene&Michelle joined us as well.
Drank, played Truth or Dare, this cute animal action game, making up of dance moves while the rest follow for 8 counts game, etc etc.
Haha someone can sure challenge Shakira to a hip-shaking competition! (;
Left the place at about 2am before going for supper nearby cos we were starving after all the alcohol (which wasnt much!).
Everyone also felt sagh.
Shared a cab home with the East gang; Nic, Kevin & Reg after that.
Twas overall a memorable birthday (:
Unexpected people wished me as well, which was really sweet (:

The time is 0043 of 5th Jan.
I'm still stuck in the yesterday of today.
The Geog homework plus the Lit discussion plans, all of which I havent finished.
In addition to that, I'm suffering from diarrhoea since I woke up in the morning for school :S
I think I need to visit the loo for the 7th time soon.
The stomach is acting up again :S
Haii.
Mum recommends that I dont go to school tmr just in case I need to run to the toilet a lot.
Which I fully agree with cos you cant have a good shit in public places.
How embarrassing is that if you let loose.
Ahaha okay I'm sure you know what I mean.
Now my AHbuttthereCHOO! hurts, my stomach is bloated&the best part is I dont feel sick *frown-smiles*
Bless me!
I feel so endeared when I see the juniors running around during Orientation.
Haha okay not literally running around, but seeing them in SAJC does (:
Endeared because they attended our Nov&Dec trainings plus lunch outings, movie outing, bowling-cum-steamboat outing, I got to know them a little better (:
Seeing them on the lanes&now in the college itself.
I really do hope that all the DSAs will stay with us along with the quick! acceptance of the appeals as guest students for 1st 3 months first.
Theyre really an amiable&talented bunch of bowlers&I'm sure that Saints bowling will be able to defend her titles with them in the team (:
Come on Mrs Principal!
Accept already!
Third night in a row when I'll be sleeping at 1.30am.
Bad bad habit of mine adopted during the holidays.
Good night, world.

I wish I could have one more week to shopmovieseatbowlfriendssleepoverslackread.
Of course, that's just wishful thinking.
A new year of school starts tmr&we will be J2s!
A Levels!
I dont know how I will mug like I did for O Levels.
It just feels so surreal.
I am very sure when we get back to school, the teachers will definitely smack some sense of urgency in us.
I miss the SA uniform already! Haha.
Too bad Regina wont be going to school with me tmr ):
She's still on her cruise&will only be back tmr.
Will be so lonely in the bus&on the way to school.
Haha.
Will dearly miss the presence of the seniors at the bowling table as well.
&our class will be short of 2 dear classmates ):
Well, on a lighter note, went to Shape Studio's website&guess what!
They put up some of our hiphop dance photos!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007! =D
Wow.
All I can say is, I've enjoyed myself immensely over the past week.
Very very very much (:
The climax of my holidays it was. Haha.
As each day passed from the last week, the fun doubled.
Had ALL the fantabulous reunions with the first intakers of SA + old friends + other friends, SMOKZ members, with the Zen Tribe (oooh how I loved the sleepover + BBQ!), with the juniors&the rest of the bowlers!
What a great way to end 2006 (:
On the 26th was the SMOKZ outing, which was held at Olivia's house as it was rainingggg. Exchanged presents, had a deeeeelicious homecooked lunch (: & I learnt how to play mahjong! Was really great that I had a chance to meet up with the 'Australians' Misha&Kwann again (:
On the 27th was Tim's Christmas party! We had to pay $30 each but I thought it was worth it cos the food was ultra sinful, ultra delicious, ultra GOOD. High class food man. Lamb, turkey, kidney beans, bread&butter pudding, seafood kind. There were 3 waiters as well to clear our stuff&who served us drinks. Had a present-exchange session after dinner! I received the penguin water dispenser from Action City! Haha! =D Well, the best part was still meeting Marian once again since forever (: Love her la. Missed her soooo much!
On the 28th was Seoul Garden with Billy, Ryan, Reg&Shu! Haha tried to eat all we could. There was turkey meat, which I thought was quite tough xP Nevertheless felt stuffed after lunch! Haha. I brought my $2 ultra slim playing cards from Daiso&we went Billy's house to play. We got caught in the rain on the way to his house but we ran all the way in! &who better than to (try to) save the day but my Uncle! He appeared behind us with an umbrella! I was supershocked cos I never expected him to be at Yio Chu Kang? Haha. He said he was working there. So we dried off at the toilets at his condo before heading to his house. Played Bridge&Monopoly (I was second richest even though I owned only 1 rented house&1 railway line! xD ) before we headed back home. Twas a nice reunion! Caught up with them alot (:
&on the 29th was outing with the juniors at Victor's! Elysia, Junyi, Stephanie, Sam, Brandon, Hanrong, Calvin, Jerome, Shawn&Reg went as well. Glenn, Anuaar, Leonard, Lionel, Glenn&Darryl were there too but some of them didnt bowl. Bowled crappily ): Out of 4 games could only get 3 strikes. Couldnt find a line at all. After that we went for steamboat at Chong Pang, which I thought wasnt really worth $12 cos the service was slow. We couldnt get our aluminium foil changed or soup added in a jiffy. We had to wave our hands / call out / go personally to the people in-charge of the foil or soup. Plus the melted butter kept splattering all over our hands&face :S Seoul garden's better! Haha. Despite that the company was good (:
On the 30th&31st was THE sleepover&BBQ at Charlene's new place with the Zen Tribe consisting of me, Charlene, Victoria Lim, Reg, Shamayne, Wenxin&Kenneth! Loved it! <3 <3 <3! Will post the photos up with Reg comes back from her cruise trip. Charlene's rooftop patio was rockingggggggggg =D It had a resort-like feel complete with wooden chairs&table plus the bamboo wind-chime, coconut candle in the middle&the tiki torches a la Survivor style (: PLUS a jacuzzi behind. Haha! Best part was the BBQ when we enjoyed the deeeelicious food, the lovely company&the LOUDLOUDLOUD conversations (no thanks to Wenxin ahahahahaha). After that watched videos on YouTube&played mahjong before retiring for a few hours. Left early in the morning with Reg cos she needed to pack for her cruise in the late afternoon that day. I have just described the whole sleepovercumBBQ on quite a shallow basis. Haha. Cos the whole experience&conversations were much more fantastic (:
AND on the 31st&1st JAN 2007, I went town in the evening to meet Darryl, Aloy&Joel before we headed to Victor's to meet the rest of the bowlers. Haha gambled gambled gambled for Idunnohowmanyhours. ALOT. Haha. Poker, Bridge, DaiDee, BlackJack, InBetween. Michelle came! Both of us were partners for BlackJack&Poker at a point before we stopped cos we were losing money. Haha. We then became the Shuffling Girls cos we couldnt really understand Poker so we helped Leonard shuffleshuffle the cards. Played catching with EVERYONE after all the gambling. HAHA. At 6am I believe? Twas fun I tell you. But I felt so unfit cos I tired out after 1 round :S Went for McDonald's breakfast after that before retiring home.
&now here I am after a long rest! Gonna go meet the bowlers again for Night at the Museum. Lol. I am so 'squandering' my hols away, as Ben my Math tutor would say. But it's all fun&it's the hols! No more fun when we're back to school. How stubborn am I. Haha. I'm so gonna be dead. Gonna cheong homework when I get back. It's a long post! It's 5.05pm now. GTG!
