The thing about taking a break in blogging is that you'll cease reading friends' posts regularly, so jingles now you know why I'd gone missing.

I promise to flood your tagboards religiously this December, cross my heart.

Well, i'm back to update and amuse myself with how retarded my own thoughts can be. In need of some writing therapy too, else i might just burst with what's pent up within.

The exams have finally ended for most of us, I was done with mine almost 2 weeks ago.

Calls for a celebration, no? Shrugs, no fever-pitch ecstasy for me.

Okay, lauren's feeling downhearted so let her rant here, and disagree another time.

For kickstarters, here's some chirpy updates to brush off the cobwebs:

My new roomie, Tricia! Am glad that somehow we ended up bunking together(:

She's very sweet and easy-going, but can be way carefree at times; which influences me to slack together with her like a year-one. OH NO, lauren you can't!

And here's my newfound animal farm, erm i mean mugging gang in hall haha.

The lounge has come to be our living room, only difference is we don't watch tv but attempt to study. At least it's more productive than my room and less stressful with their nonsense to perk me up at 5am. Feels better when pigs supper and grow fat together too :D

This is li jin, not in the group photo but since she grinned so widely for my camera, her shot shall be up!

She kindly sold me her thirty bucks zoukout ticket when she could keep the discounted one for herself(: Thanks girl, love you and cheer up!

The day after my last paper, Xevon called to ask me if I could go back to the office and help out, cause Samantha's on maternity leave. So i've been occupying myself pretty happily and saving up for the expenses to come in the festive month.

Anw! Samantha's given birth to the cutest baby boy ever. He sleeps alot but will sometimes open his eyes slightly to peek curiously at the new world and faces around him (:

Time really flies, the last time I saw Samantha she just found out she was pregnant and now she's had the baby.

My heartfelt blessings to this young mummy and her newborn.

Trudged my way down to Aloha Loyang after work for History Chalet, was totally tired but the people and food made it worth the travelling.

Gotta thank Ngiap for organising and preparing the food, Izzan for waiting half an hr to walk with me to the uluated chalet, and Fauwaz for driving us to the train stn (albeit terrorizing my handphone with THAT unsightly wallpaper, thanks ah!)

Meet my coursemates: the smoker who forever claims to quit tmr (but tmr never came), the former air-stewardess who's happily married (:, and the sporty Ruth who just snipped off her long flowy hair, totally BOOMZ.

HAHA. This is what PE teachers with good stamina are for!
Roasting marshmallow and blowing the charcoals by mouth.

We did canvassing for FOC 09/10 from last Thurs-Sat, as Standard Chartered racepack collection counter crew. My camera absolutely went on strike after the first shot, batt went flat ):

Anyhow, that's not the point. The point is that though volunteering with friends can be fun, with screwed-up admin it's kinda a waste of time RAHH. At least we had the card scanners, made registering a breeze for us. It's the waiting time tt makes me bushuang, feels like roaring again.

& the nice Andersens ice cream made up for the New balance grey pyjamas shirt, ah wells (:

I'm sad that I didn't register in time for the full marathon this year, next year I WILL RUN THE FULL MARATHON! Promise myself that.

Had a look at the Race Results this year. Am awed by the speed, freaking two hours plus for 42.95km. Kenya runners took the first three spots for men's category, and Russians dominated for women's.

1 Luke Kibet, Kenya. 2:11:24

2 Johnstone Chepkwony, Kenya, 2:11:32

I think its right, yet it feels wrong.

You smiled yes, now it's whispered no.

Took us on a rollercoaster ride, left me hollow.

You promised to put in effort, why the need to try so hard? You said it'll be difficult when you're gone, why let it be an issue when we can't first get past ourselves?

It's exhausting when compromising can only get one so far.

Sometimes understanding comes with heart-wrenching clarity. Funnily enough, what is clear now will not suffice to account for the state of things upon your return. Even funnier is how you seem to believe what's meant to be will be. Sorry but that faith's been shattered by your unsureness.

Just as you insisted I should not feel sad, you need not feel bad.

No longer shackled to you, I'll be happier in time to come (:

Shall know better to hope again. If things work out in the end- good for us. If it doesn't, then life goes on.

Time will tell what's best for us.
