Went to school today to have Math tuition and talk to Mr. Newton, and ended up chatting to Suzie, Phanu and Jarir in the IB room while I was taking a break. I'm not that close to any of them, but we ended up discussing where everyone would end up in twenty years... Apparently, they can see me as a lawyer, Phanu as a architect (who may or may not be married to Kylie) and Suzie in business. We then went over everyone in our IB photo and talked about each of them- who would they be? What would life take them to?

And we, four people from somewhat different cliques and with different ideas and dreams, discussed what would become of people, what we thought they wanted, what their futures would hold and what we wanted for ourselves. Here's some of the things that were said:

WY: I'm doing law since I'm not sure what I want, and I think my parents want me to be a lawyer. Plus I can go into journalism or anything I want with a law degree, so why not?
Jarir: Become a poet!
WY: Haha I wish! But I need to feed myself, don't I?

WY: I can see Allison as a mother.
Suzie: I know, there's something incredibly motherly about her, isn't there.
WY: Yeah! She'd make a good mum.
Suzie: I can see May Li as a mum!
WY: Yeah I know! Fussing over kids, somehow; she'd be one of those mothers with two or three children and adjusting their hats and coats, making sure they weren't cold...

Phanu: Can you see me married?
WY: Well duh.
Phanu: To Kylie? :D
Suzie: You're going to the same place for university, right?
Phanu: Yes yes :D :D
WY: It'd be interesting to see what the next few years hold. University is the time where people change, their ideals shift the most. If you stay together in university then you'll probably be happy for life...
Suzie: So the answer is "MAYBE".
WY: I'm not going to get married! I can't see myself married. :D

Of course I haven't written down everything that was said; there are some things that should be kept to ourselves, interesting as they were. But this shows something: The future's pretty much out there, isn't it? It's time for us to grasp it, grab hold of it, because the things we do in the next few years will mark the path we walk down for the rest of our lives. After exams, we'll all be gone, spread out to different countries, different continents, different jobs, and there will only be a silver of our laughter haunting the corridors for eternity.

There's one thing for sure, though. While the future is uncertain, we still have our now.

Which means this: I should be studying.

Meh.

There's a point to this post.

Just bear with the photos and read on. Neither of them are particularly good pictures, but still. I believe that I tend to look better in photos than in real life because I'm not very pretty and am a good camwhore, so I've picked photos in which I don't look my best because I don't REALLY look my best.

BUT ANYWAY. Read on- yeah I'm looking at you Jianing. :]

I'd like to introduce two girls.


This is me in Year 11, when I was still pretty new. I had friends, but I wasn't close to any of them yet. I couldn't trust anyone in Uplands except for Pin and maybe Priscilla and Xiao-Tian- and I was still pretty miserable about some friend problems I had in my old school. I don't think I look happy in this picture. I'm smiling, but there's something sad about my smile. It comes through, in all my old photos, especially the ones from back then. My smile doesn't reach my eyes.


And here's a favourite photo of mine.... Me. As of yesterday. It's not one in which I look great, but it's my new Facebook display picture. I thought it looked wonderful at first, but I looked closely and realized how fat I look. How small my eyes are.

So why do I like it so much?

Because I'm looking at the picture, and I see myself laughing and I'm smiling and I can picture Jasryn lifting up her hand to take the photo and missing and getting only me, and I know I look totally ugly and stupid in the picture as I do normally, I've always been ugly but there's ONE difference, one BIG FAT difference between the me in this photo and the me in the first photo and it's this. I'm not TRYING to look happy. I actually am.

Because now, I have people. Even though XT and Pris left, I have friends in school that I like and can trust to have my back. I've made new friends since Year 11, Jasryn and Su and Sarah and Sara and Darren, and of course I'm still friends with Jing Min and Kylie and Pin, and I've gotten to know Priya and a few others; all of this and the friendships I've made have brought that smile to my eyes instead of it just hanging at my lips. You guys have been amazing, absolutely wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for better friends or a better group of people to be surrounded with in Uplands. I remember a stage where I wanted a "best friend" in school because I felt lonely- then I woke up, looked around and realized I didn't need just one person.

I have all of you.

I was thinking of making shout-outs of love for you, but forget it. You all know how much I treasure each and every one of you anyway. You made me smile- and even if we never see each other again after high school is over, you can bet that you'll always have that special place in my heart.

Here's to the prude. The lunch-and-slacking partner. The innocent lala. The poet laureate. The camwhore. The pigeon. The tennis pro. The one that kicked me when we were young. The first friend. The people that made the last two or three years worth plodding though. The ones that never fail to make me smile.

You're amazing.

I need to be more careful about what I say, when I say it, or how I do.

Err. Sorry.

Where has Sarah been?

She seems to have disappeared. 0_o

On another note, drama stuff is moving. About damn time too.

Fucking hell, I miss you, stupid bed slave. Get your ass back here.

Fuck feeling like nobody understands.

I. Am. Freaking. BLEH.

I need human contact.

Why Oh My Orange?

It's like Oh My God.

Only Orange is God.

DUHH!

Wei Yun is incredibly bored.

Wei Yun wants a Skype or phone buddy... Talking on MSN isn't the same.

Must be willing to listen to rants, to have random ideas thrown at them, be willing to talk from 12-3 in the morning.

Yeah, I don't think that I can find anyone.

Wei Yun is pathetic...

And incredibly bored :]

IF YOU DID NOT SEE THIS AS A PHALLIC SYMBOL

THEN DAMN YOU'RE INNOCENT

As most of you may know I've gone on an ice-cream eating spree, much to the disapproval of Prudy, but she's probably just jealous that she got the basement in my eight-person house. I've had ice-cream for 19 days in a row, and counting... To be honest, out of morbid curiosity, I want to see how long I can go without getting sick of my favourite icy confection. I give myself three months.

My ice cream has ranged from the icy...

To the creamy...

To the ones with cheesecake on the side.
The latest addition to my range of ice cream, however, has really taken the cake. No pun intended.

Let's put it this way. When you tear its cover open, you see this yellow pointy thing that's just calling your name... You bite down, hard, and this yellow fluid spills out all over your tongue and into your throat.


I KID YOU NOT. WRONGEST. ICE CREAM. EVER.

... I've run out of things to blog about.

There's nothing I can say here anymore, really, without offending or hurting someone I know.

Talked about blog-stalking people yesterday. I wonder who blog-stalks me?

Not that there's anything interesting on here for people to stalk me about. Maybe to mock me with, but nothing interesting to stalk me with. Which I am grateful for.

Went to Chili's. Took photos. Scared Wai Kit. The poor waiter. He probably thinks I'm psycho.

I need to post pictures here some day. Show the world my beautiful gorgeous friends and direct them to their blogs. (That does not include the male ones, that are nowhere near beautiful and gorgeous)

Took a big load of fun photos yesterday, but the USB cable that connects my memory stick to the computer isn't working. Curses. However will I get my new Facebook DP up is my first worry.

Vanity oh vanity. Speaking of which, Jasryn painted my nails orange with blue stars yesterday.

She sucks at Guitar Hero. Darren and Panit are decidedly good. It was funny watching Darren play Sweet Home Alabama. Joey's not bad, better than his sister at least, despite claiming not to have fun.

... To be frank, I've never seen a bunch of males that quiet. They were just staring at the screen.

Everyone leaves.

I laze around. Try to study. ( ).

I sleep.
