Sec 3 is indeed stressful... @ 8:43 PM

Ciaossu,
Life is hectic these days. It's difficult to even find time to unwind. All the SIA proposals are due tomorrow and till now, i haven't found an SIA group...What am I going to do??????????????????????????
Well, enough worrying about that. Life's gotta carry on anyway. Today, Mr Mackintosh started us off on Source Based Questions for Integrated Humanities. Obviously our school LMS site was hacked so it is under maintenance. So currently, there are no notes for reference on the site. I am having even greater difficulty since I have not purchased 2 of my science textbooks and there's a quiz tomorrow. ARGH...*pulls own hair in exasperation*... Haha, enough of the drama, it is time to buck up. At least my LA SIA group is fairly responsible and I have been able to collate and tidy up our proposal which will be ready for submission tomorrow:)
I believe every cloud has a silver lining (this basically means that everything has a sunny-side) so after all this stress of deadlines, things will soon begin to calm down.
I am attending a SMP launch tomorrow at Ngee Ann Poly, wonder what amazing takeaways I will have from this event. Things are surely looking up this year, and though I'm quite shed by the amt of work so far, I am definitely ready to take on the endless possibilities that are about to come...that's is of course after I recharge my batteries...CIAO!!!

Lots of love,
Elizabeth;)

PS: Spread more love into this forsaken world we call our home...

So so so relieved!!! Thank you:) @ 8:38 PM

Ciaossu,
Today, I learnt that there is some love left in the world. I was getting frantic after school since I didn't know where the Bukit Merah place was to collect my lost file. The first taxi driver got me deperate. He kept telling me the place never existed...but luckily he never asked me to pay the fare for driving me 2 bus stops down the road. The second driver was much nicer. He actually bothered to make a phone call to find out if it was actually a taxi kiosk and when he confirmed the location he took me there:D Such a nice driver. Well, he gave me a discount...plus he offered to fetch me to the nearest MRT station after I had collected my file. And the most astounding thing was that he didn't on his meter, he said he didn't want to charge me:)

So my total cab fare was like 10 bucks.(I couldn't take no as an answer...so pai seh) Well, of course I thanked him profusely. I never expected a total stranger to be so nice. Yes, all is NOT lost. There is still kindness in the world. Yes, special thanks to everyone who helped me during the period where I lost my file. Thank you for lending me the worksheets to photocopy so that I can hand in my homework on time. Also, I am especially grateful to my dear for being so calm and cool to help me get back my lost file:) I'm such a lucky girl to have so many people around me who care:D Anyway, gotta mug...CIAO

Lots of love,
Liz

PS: Happy Birthday Grace!!! Hope you like your prezzie:)

Renovations...noise pollution... @ 3:08 PM

Ciaossu,
I have a splitting headache. The sounds of drills and breaking cement 'jolted' me out of dreamland, plus it made me unable to re-enter the 'happy place'. I feel so restless and light-headed. Being sort of 'hyper', it's difficult to fall asleep at night, especially since I have not heard someone's voice for a long time. I really really miss him...Haiz...My head keeps spinning, just like the drill and I've lost my appetite.
Life's rough...I hope the holidays quickly end! There's nothing much to do, especially since I have no siblings and I feel soooooo restless. I'm going to go crazy if I have to stay at home any longer!!
Well, this holiday has really recharged my batteries, or should I say, overcharged them. I've even gone to church with some friends and enjoyed the experience:) I'm glad that this hols, I made new friends and also had time to catch up with old ones. Also, I had time to reflect about the past year. Well, I've got a lot to do to catch up with my peers so I have to find my resolve asap!! Ganbate! Anyway, I don't really know what to post now so CIAO:)

Lots of love,

The true meaning of Christmas. @ 11:38 PM

Ciaossu,
Today was the christmas celebration. Though it was only 1 day late, the christmas spirit seemed to have already vanished completely. Not that I expected any presents since it was customary that teenagers won't get them anymore. But what really took away the christmas spirit was that the one and only cousin I had under 12 was not given a gift by everyone. Well, my family prepared a 82 dollar lego set for him since that was the only present we needed to buy, but it turned out that most of the other relatives did not even bother... That's the disappointing part. We, the non-christians knew the basic courtesy and did our part for christmas. But they, as christians, how could they not know and not bother to buy the youngest one a gift??? Though it may not be anything fantastic, at least it was a gift from the heart...IS that soooo difficult?
Today, my cousin only received 2 presents...both from non-christian families. Why did the christians forget the true meaning of christmas, while we non-christians made and effort to 'give more than to receive' though we don't celebrate the occasion?
The party food this year was also a disappointment. Unlike the previous years where there was turkey and ham, this year saw a 180 degree change! There was no turkey nor ham, and the food was mostly catered and not meticulously prepared. There was no effort to find appealing food like hotdogs, chipolatas and nonsense that we normally eat during parties.....instead, we were served mutton rendang, extremely spicy laksa that not everyone could consume and side dishes of capsicum fish, cereal prawns, etc.
So you could see it was hardly a christmas feast. This year didn't feel like christmas at all, it was just another passing day. I never expected a half-hearted present of chocs from the local supermarket...It seemed like the whole meaning of christmas was not displayed this year. I guess the recession could be the reason but still christmas doesn't feel like christmas unless people actually put their hearts in the true spirit of the occasion. Even if it's just a small gift like a 5 bucks toy, at least you bothered...and that's what it all matters....

Lots of love,
Liz

PS: Missing someone a whole lot.....I wish'd you were here...
And most importantly, I'm not trying to offend any christians......really, what it all matters in the end is the spirit of giving...not the presents...so sorry if anyone gets offended or misunderstood me...

What is love? @ 11:50 PM

Ciaossu,
No one can define love.
Love is an indescribable feeling.
It makes one see the world in a whole new different light.
It makes one see common everyday things as beautiful symbols of love.
It is a piece of heaven.
Simple gestures like a smile from that special someone can make your day.
It is the best remedy for a soul broken and torn countless times and perhaps, also the only remedy.
It is the most precious gift anyone can give you, even diamonds or gold bars can't match it.
When you're with that special someone, you get a glimpse of an out-of-this world eden.
The earth revolves around the two of you and no one can ever break this bond.
Not everyone is lucky to have a one and only their whole life.
If it happens, you must hold on to this person and never let go.
Love has the tendency to bring a person closer to the other no matter how impossible a situation seems to be.
The word 'impossible' does not exist in the 'LOVE' dictionary.
Love is not based on sex or any materialistic gains. True love can only be attained when 2 hearts link together as one and form an unbreakable bond.
When you see him/her, you can't help feeling ridiculously happy.
Everywhere you go with that special someone becomes a sweet memory.
Every gift you receive from him/her, no matter how insignificant it seems to others, means the world to you and him/her.
There is no actual reason for loving that special someone, you met and the feeling just develops naturally.
When you love someone, you would always want him/her to smile and would protect him/her with your life.
Life loses meaning without that him/her.
Love songs suddenly hold a lot of meaning.
Everything you eat/drink is automatically shared between the 2 parties.
You don't like crowded places and prefer sitting down somewhere quiet and get to know each other better.
You never run out of things to talk about.
Age will not matter over time.
Everything he/she says, you will remember word for word and take it seriously.
You start seeing her/him as a potential marriage partner and not just a fling.
Falling in love is like falling into a bottomless pit, it just gets deeper and deeper.
You would do anything just to see your special someone smile and stop her/him from ever hurting.
Holding hands becomes a natural occurrence.
Not speaking/ hearing his/her voice for one day may kill you.
You would never share your special someone with anyone else.
Looks don't matter, not at all, you just love him/her for who him/her is.
You would change the world just to stop him/her from hurting.
When he/she's upset, your shoulder is always available.
You wouldn't mind missing sleep just to hear him/her breathing while asleep.

Whether you can help it or not, once you fall in love, there's no turning back. Love can be mutual or non-mutual and there are a lot of different kinds of love. Whatever the type of love,learning to love and being loved is the greatest gift once can be bestowed upon once they arrive into this world. When you find the right person, make sure you hold on to it and never let go.

Cheerio:)

Lots of love,
Liz

The human heart.. @ 4:10 PM

Ciaossu,
The Human Heart...In this case, I am not using the term as the organ that pumps blood around your body. Instead, it refers to the degree of humanity and how this organ gives you what we call "feelings". Of course, you might say that the brain is the stimulant that gives us our emotions but since emotions are always associated with the heart, I feel that it is a more appropriate choice to talk about this topic. As you know, no one is perfect, there is always an ugly side to the heart. But the scary thing is how people show this ugly side. In this world of survival of the fittest, many people will go to all lengths to destroy and annihilate their opponent. Though this is a sad statement, it is an undeniable fact.
I know one such person who decided to show the ugly side of her heart. Not surprisingly, she is a person with many ulterior motives and you never know what she is thinking. But one thing you do know for sure is, she'll go to all lengths to get what she wants, even if she has to kowtow to the higher heads...It's quite a shame that someone so close to me has such an ugly heart. While it's not for me to judge others, I feel that at the very least, she should stop using other people for her own gain and turn her back on them when she does not stand to gain. Hopefully, the world will be filled with more beautiful hearts and kind souls in the many years to come. Signing off, CIAO

Love,
Liz

I miss 211 @ 8:23 PM

Ciaossu,
Just been tagged in a photo on facebook. The photo depicts me and a tiny group of 211-ers playing UNO after the EOYs. It suddenly sent a wave of emotion through me and I suddenly wish that the clock would turn back. I miss you 211, the friendships forged during those 2 years are unforgettable. It suddenly dawned upon me that I might have offended alot of people during these 2 years. So i'm taking this chance, by blogging, to say sorry to anyone I've ever offended. I guess my people skills require alot more work, and also my attitude. I'll never forget you all and really, I hope that no grudges will be beared. Life has been rough this year, with the streaming and all, so I sincerely wish every single one of 211'09 all the best in their new class! Our last project, the drama performance would not have been a gr8 success had we not worked so well together. Yes, 211'09 really rocks everyone's socks of ;) Ciao

Lots of love,

Sec 3 is indeed stressful... @ 8:43 PM

Life is hectic these days. It's difficult to even find time to unwind. All the SIA proposals are due tomorrow and till now, i haven't found an SIA group...What am I going to do??????????????????????????
Well, enough worrying about that. Life's gotta carry on anyway. Today, Mr Mackintosh started us off on Source Based Questions for Integrated Humanities. Obviously our school LMS site was hacked so it is under maintenance. So currently, there are no notes for reference on the site. I am having even greater difficulty since I have not purchased 2 of my science textbooks and there's a quiz tomorrow. ARGH...*pulls own hair in exasperation*... Haha, enough of the drama, it is time to buck up. At least my LA SIA group is fairly responsible and I have been able to collate and tidy up our proposal which will be ready for submission tomorrow:)
I believe every cloud has a silver lining (this basically means that everything has a sunny-side) so after all this stress of deadlines, things will soon begin to calm down.
I am attending a SMP launch tomorrow at Ngee Ann Poly, wonder what amazing takeaways I will have from this event. Things are surely looking up this year, and though I'm quite shed by the amt of work so far, I am definitely ready to take on the endless possibilities that are about to come...that's is of course after I recharge my batteries...CIAO!!!
