Sitting by the park..
Posted by: Bel on: November 21, 2009
..is an awful sacred moment! I very much value it. Walking from home to Bedok Reservoir, talking atop the park with Koek C, watching squirrels scurry up trees, gazing at the sky filled with dragonflies. Man, that’s one holy moment. HA HA. Will be back to let this post have its photo company! K and I pretty much clicked well; what with the modelling & acting & blogging & dreams & studies & friendships & sleepovers & movies (which leaves me pondering – is the world really ending?) & walking & exercising & YOGA & self-reflection. 
Stats for the past two posts were shocking, climbing to a whopping 66 today! Ghouls and ghoulies, who are you? Gee, the facebook publicity probably was behind it, and I’ve removed it!
4 hours to go! Bel is going to come back renewed, she’s going to be a somebody when she’s back! Sort out my head, clear out the dust. Yes, i see a striking future ahead! Woohoo! ( & lots of exercising to catch up! Ying T. you better be there to swim with me! 
)
Can’t wait to catch up with chums when I’m back and fix up my portfolio (hopefully!)
‘Til then!
xoxo

24/09/09 was my cousin’s wedding. Here’re some photos here and there of my maternal family
Got to get those photos posted! More are in the main computer, the virus-laden one :S Better some then none!
Queer thing is, my stats are moving! Probably one of those random people who float around and happened to land here?
Bon Voyage~

Eheh. Just a post before I fly fly fly to Taiwan! As if you haven’t heard me enough, I so badly wish to fly fly fly away from Singapore. It’s been two whole solid miserable years since I last flew.
I’ve finally reluctantly dug out the usb cable to transfer my pictures. So there they are!
Man, while clearing through the photos I raked up so much of my past. So many erstwhile friends. Some, have grown! HAHA just look at them! Goodness I’ve got to let you see how we used to act in Sec1-3! Yeah man, I promise you I’ll be giving my long ultra long Thanksgiving scroll to sum up my years in secondary school and to give thanks to all my friends. Past and present alike! Accompanied with the photos, that is!
LET YOUR HAIR DOWN

OOOOH~ I DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. I DON’T KNOW HOW TO BEGIN. I’M UTTERLY SHORT OF WORDS TO EXPRESS WHAT I WANT TO SAY. I’M FALLING SHORT OF APT WORDS TO DESCRIBE. I FEEL OUT OF TOUCH. LOST FOR WORDS.
I WANT TO DO SO MANY THINGS. IT FEELS SO ABRUPT. TIME SEEMS TO THROW YOU INTO THIS AGE, WHERE YOU ARE LIBERATED FROM EVERYTHING YOU HAVE WORKED HARD FOR. IT’S LIKE ONE DAY YOU ARE WORKING YOUR ASS OFF THINKING OF NOTHING AND WISHING EVERYTHING WAS OVER, AND THE NEXT, YOU ARE FREE. LIKE THE STRINGS OF A PUPPET BEING SNIPPED OFF.
HMM.. I WANT TO
- get a job (company’s pending my reply)
- learn yoga
- stare at the tumbling washing machine
- catch up with friends
- start a health and fitness blog (for health junkies like me!)
- get started on my eating-right & exercising-well plan
- (i’ll add on when i think of more)
LET YOUR HAIR DOWN!
LITERALLY. When germaine anqi ying ting beverly peak deng followed me home and had a student-geeks to party-girls transformation ;D
James was right, about the stepping the 1st step, when i went with pd for an audition for an upcoming movie @ ITE Simei. Right, got to thank Wen Jie for the information otherwise I’d still be daydreaming about it. Good day to start my post-O’s!
Sat was swimming with Bev! A long-awaited sport I’ve been wanting to do. Since.. the swim with Hui Min at Ru Ying’s condo. She kept blabbering non-stop about Sheng Yong yet refused to tell me who she likes. HOHO. THEN TO THE LIBRARY AT MY REQUEST. It’s been so long. Couldn’t wait to catch up with books! Major fruitful it was, what with all the magazines and self-inspirational books!
YES AND I RECEIVED NEWS THAT PAPA AND MAMA BOOKED A TRIP TO TAIWAN AND I’M LEAVING NEXT SAT! *MAJOR GRINS* I FEEL SO HOLIDAY-DEPRIVED EVEN JAMES COULD SENSE IT. HOHO. THE LAST TIME I CHECKED OUT OF SG, IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO WHEN I WENT TO SHANGHAI. A FLOOD OF MELANCHOLY MEMORIES CAME LASHING BACK AND I WENT TO WATCH THE VIDEO OF IT LAST NIGHT. THAT TRIP WAS A TURNING POINT FOR ME. SOMETHING IN ME JUST CHANGED FROM THERE. YOU COME BACK WITH A WHOLE NEW INSIGHT, AS A FRESH NEW PERSON. SIMPLY SAID, YOU GREW UP.
HEEHAW NOW I HAVE TO PACK AND ALL MY OTHER PLANS HAVE TO BE STAGNATED UNTIL AFTER MY TRIP. GOSH, I SO DON’T WANT TO COME BACK. I NEED THIS OUTLET TO RENEW MYSELF, TO RELAX MY SOUL. TO BE WAITED UPON. YES!
How come my wordpress stats show numbers visited the past few days haha i’m astounded that there’re actually people who come here. this was supposed to be a low-profile blog.
YEAH MAN I’M OFF TO PACK!
GOODBYE WAIST-ENHANCING STUDY CHAIR HELLO TO PURSUING MY INTERESTS!
oh yes, the com got inflicted with a virus now i can’t upload photos BUT IT’LL BE UP ALL RIGHT!

“ Did you ever meet someone and have them totally change your life? That every thought you ever had about life and yourself was changed, the way you look at life, people, and even every breath. It’s like all that time you were hiding inside yourself until that person came into your life and suddenly everything was different. But even though they changed the way you looked and felt about things, they made you perhaps a little more cynical and untrusting of the world. Somehow, it has to be learned that it’s possible to trust again, that not everyone is going to stare you in the face and lie to you. But it’s learning that, that’s the hard part. It’s not going to happen in a day, a week, or a month, but pretty soon you’ll begin to realize that not everyone is going to hurt you. That’s when you’re happy…”
Relish, Capture, and Bask in it.

For Mrs Lee CK!
Miss Noriff’s!
At Nat’l lib penning our comments for the teachers…
Before we got cut off by the librarian…
Delicious Blueberry Crumble Pie & SHM’s not-so-delicious Peppermint Chocolate Cake!
Alright, SHM & DJM, here’re the photos I’ve scanned like you suggested!
&for SIM’s sake here’s the 3L photos! I hope you can get them now!
Miss Noriff & Mr Poh; the 2 adorable teachers. Heehaw! Special guest: yellow-shirt Josc!
Caught my sweet-tongued junior Cel at the toilet after their splendid dance performance! Can I add: YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB. I’M PROUD OF YOU! (Man, I sound so old and experienced saying that 
)
At SAC with (from left) Meredith Q., Faustine L., Ms Chin FS, Audrey P., ME!

Fascinating sculptures over at SACPS! Missed my Pri 3&4 buddies so! And I’ve learnt a new B word from them! HA HA!
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR N’s NEXT WEEK! && MEREDITH TOO! B)
Can we get together like this more often? 
YES YES YES YES YES I’M JUMPING FOR JOY I SAW LTR TODAY THAT’S GOT TO BE THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TODAY! I DON’T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I EVER SAW HIM MAN! I GOT SO AGITATED I SLAMMED MY PHONE CALL WITH OUWEN AND SCREAMED THE NEWS TO JOVYNE ON THE OTHER LINE IMMEDIATELY!
That is one whole story that came flooding back; and I must admit it got my life started. There came along more drama than I would have called for. It made up my pre-teen life. It made me more aware of everything else. It made me open my outlook to life. It made me found out the type of friends I had around me. Since this “trauma”, I’d never dared be so open with my r/s with others again. To think it did form part of who I am today. It did cause some bitterness, that’s for sure. But if I had a choice, I would still do it again; go through the love and endure hate cycle once more. :B
SO MANY SENIORS CAME BACK TOO! HEHEH I SAW CHOU DAN ALTHOUGH HE LOOKS AS BLACK AS EVER!
Gee JIAQ don’t you miss those “umbrella” days?
I CAN’T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY MET THAT LUNATIC… GRACE AT AIRPORT WHO CLAIMS I STALKED HER ‘CUZ WE JUST STARTED TALKING LAST NIGHT ON MSN! OMGOSH.
Is it just me, or do I sense some people using this Be Yourself Day as an excuse to flaunt her figure? Sometimes overdoing it can give just the counter effect. Gee.
Told SHM that Be Yourself Day can really reflect a person; from their dress sense to their character. Hee hee.
; you know you’re my saving grace.

.. In the midst of the exams for an outlet to release my whirl of thoughts from time to time during the prep of prelims.
Wow, it’s prelims, can you believe I am taking the prelims now? Was embracing the thought, ” Okay! Here’s to the start of prelims! The prelims that you never thought would befall you anytime soon but it’s right in front of you now. You’re going to do it well and survive it all, carrying with you the skills you’ve equipped yourself from the revision- the tenacity, the determination, the advices from seniors and teachers, the struggles to pick up from where you left off, the search for motivation within you…” on Thurs when I first took my prelim paper- Eng & Chi paper 1.
Not to forget the long-awaited Prom celebration. Nomination of Prom King and Queen was carried out (finally!). It stirred up quite a bit of commotion, and ended as quickly as it started. What with the reaction of Jin Min’s face when I revealed the look of 4C’s Prom King nominee Kia Meng, the deserved (and not so) status of those that got it– Cassandra, Wen Qi, Bing Yi, Sheng Yong, Ada, Anna, Jamie, Jerlyn, Levia, Micah, Kai En, Shi Yong, Yi Jun, Xuan Jie, Donovan.. Can’t help but giggled with Hui Min when news was broken to us. Lucky she was with me to indulge in all these juicy news. Hee hee!
There’s this song that reflects very suitably to the afterthoughts–
Small town homecoming queen
She’s the star in this scene
There’s no way to deny she’s lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she’s ugly
Maybe I’m just jealous
I can’t help but hate her
Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her
She is the prom queen I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I’m sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I’m sleeping on the floor
She’s Miss America and I’m just the girl next door
Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutaunt
Everything that you want
Never to harsh or too demanding
Maybe I’ll admit it
I’m a little bitter
Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her
She is the prom queen I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I’m sitting in the stands
She gets the top bunk I’m sleeping on the floor
She’s Miss America and I’m just the girl next door
Oh and I’m just the girl next door
I don’t know why I’m feeling sorry for myself
I spend all my time wishing that I was someone else
She is the prom queen I’m in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I’m sitting in the stands
I get a little bit, she gets a little more
She’s Miss America and… she’s Miss America
I’m just the girl next door…
Then there’s this little interesting conversation between me and the Ignorant One, which makes me feel sweet. Maybe if the Ignorant One dedicates a song like Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney, I may just say “Yes”. The Beijing Immersion Programme memories came coming back in snippets. The only experience we shared, that’s why.
It seems, every major exams experience come out differently. This time, us trio seem to come out closer, more sensible. Perhaps losing touch with them entirely during the June holidays made me sort out my thinking; to be content and grateful with what I have, and to appreciate their existence more. I believe we’ve pulled through together because of our various compatible personalities. Don’t forget our every-3-months-first-weekend pact, straightaway post-O level’s-party at my house, and post-prelim cycling rendezvous!
I wonder if it is the hard work and preparedness, or the plain lack of concern, that made me not think a great deal of prelims. Should this be a case to worry?
To think that on the first day of prep, I was already beginning to formulate my study plans for O level’s after chancing upon a website, and a very useful one indeed!
Harbouring an idea of creating a blog to put all my Health and Fitness research inside. It seems to be all over the place now! Should I?
I feel so invigorated after catching up on my 4.9km run today! The accumulation of toxins is catching up on me; for at least 2 weeks I haven’t been to exercise.
The crepe recipe I made with Mum and shared with the family was ultra delicious! I experimented different varieties of similar no-frills recipe and voila! Yummy banana+peanut butter+wholemeal crepe! Salads are getting improved in terms of colour and taste!
Words of Reassurances
Posted by: Bel on: August 1, 2009
I wish..
I could be stronger, that this hiccup won’t deter me.
I could be wiser, so the words I give can be sound, practical advice to improve the situation.
I could be more convincing, then they could change their mindsets and step into the shoes of the other and walk around in it.
Zonked out, from these daily upsetting occurences.
Tell me, tell me that I’d survive it all. Tell me those skirmishes with life I experience are only but a phase in life. Tell me I’ll emerge triumphant, that the outcome that I wish for to happen will come true.
There’s no time, to dawdle my hours minutes away.
