haven't had lessons since last friday. it feels like the holidays all over again! had mission for the past two days. it has definitely taught me some lessons. yeap. we're all different individuals, and beauty matters only in the inside, not what lies on the outside. :) an ex-sjcian came on the first day to tell us about her experience dealing with drugs, and how she overcame the problem. she burst out crying cos she didn't share this with anyone and it took her courage to tell it out, so yep, it was sad. today, a lady in the mission team told us about her life story, which was awfully touching and a tear-jerker, that about one third or almost half the population of the hall cried, making me cry too. :( a few of us offered her a hug after hearing how tough her life has been ever since young, and i've come to realize how lucky and normal my life really is.
we had this reflecting session at the ending part where everybody gathered in a circle and the lady made us think back on the times in sjc, our first day in the school, our friends; how they've been there for us, how we've shared the bittersweet times, and how we took some for granted. and the stupid song in the background was the one that created the ambience, i couldn't help but shed some tears again when they told us we were only left with 5 months in sjc.. it was quite sad la.
after school, went with jaslyn to bugis village. hoho! we and our weird ideas. haven't been out with her for what seems like years. we didn't even hang out once during the june hols. bought a pair of hotpink plastic ear rings for the retro party, and an orange and white plastic bracelet from a shop in bugis st, and psst psst- the shopkeeper is darn cute laaaahh, he resembles JAY CHOU! (no, nic, not the same guy with the hearing aid, but EVEN HOTTER.) no kidding! me and jaslyn kept bargaining with him and his mom the price of the earrings and bracelet. hoho. managed to bargain a total of $1.10 for both. ahah. he's darn cute.
Then the fire fades awayBut most of everyday is full of tired excusesBut it's too hard to sayI wish it were simple, but we give up easily You're close enough to see thatYou're the other side of the world to mereplies.
van and peishan: yes! weirdos indeed! :/
