Maybe.

End of May. So soon. Feels like I've been schooling for a long period of time. Really looking forward to the holidays so much. School has been pretty much... tough. Academic aspect I mean. Feels like there are so many hypocrites around, or should I say... double-faced people. They act as if they're so nice and kind in front of others, but then behind your backs they backstab you so much. People I thought to be kind or innocent, behind that angelic faces hide some really dark sides you wouldn't have imagined if you've not seen it personally. The reality of the people in my class really scares me sometimes. And I question myself why can't I have a really bonded class? I never seem to have one. Even in primary school or secondary school. None. Never. How does it feel like to have a bonded class who has occasional gatherings?

 

55th Council

Has been a really crazy week from the 19th to 23rd. Got into Students' Union. Project submissions plus getting all my tutorials done before the tutorial lessons. Cultural Intelligence Presentation on Monday, but only 50% done on Saturday. Marketing Intelligence & Research Presentation on Wednesday, I was like 0% done with the presentation, flip charts and information that I needed to research on. Tutorials due Wednesday and Thursday. And then I had to find articles for my Gen Ed to get it signed by the lecturer by hook or by crook by Friday. My gosh. I'm just so glad I survived the week.

Following week was supposedly revision for me since I was done with all my presentations. But then again, I got busy with seniors' graduation. So... the past week was filled with bittersweet emotions. So happy for them finally completing their studies at SP but then part of me feels a little reluctance because I'll be missing their presence around school even though I may not be very close to some of them, or even though I may be an awkward turtle around them.

 

Aaron's was on the 26th. Remember how he likes to kachaiu me so much. But then he's a really great senior. So fun to be around with.

 

 

Syza's was also on the 26th. First time I saw her was during DBA bonding day where she was my group's facilitator. Didn't know she was from spsu until I saw her at prep camp.

 

 

Kamsssss. His was on the 23rd but then we all had spsu interviews so we couldn't make it. Complained he selfie-ed with the excos while I was away at Korean class. So had a legit pic with him on the 26th while he lent Syza's gown. HAHAHAHAH. Was great having a long chat with him while we waited for Aaron to be out. Such a great OLD senior. :P

 

 

Dearest GLTs graduated on the 27th! PROJECT SURPRISE GLTs: SUCCESS.

Could see Trixia's teary eyes. Roses, sunflowers, polaroids and cards. The GLs are such romantics. We'd make good future boyfriends and girlfriends. HAHAH. And the best part, they weren't expecting anything but just a group picture. Yayyy! Love them so much. So blessed to have another pair of parents in poly. Could really feel the love from them. Wore Darryl's extra large gown.

So fun. Hehe.

 

Weijian's was on the 28th. Even though he's another senior that likes to kachiau me a lot too but he has been a really great great great gramps that I can feel dotes a lot on me.

 

Zakros, Luchesse and Buffalino at his grad.

 

 

Grandma Tiffany graduated on the 28th too. Have heard a lot about her as a freshie, but saw her for the first time in my life was during her grad. She's sooooo gorgeous and sooooo cute. Really glad to have a granny like her even though she may not be active in spsu but always a part of us.

 

 

Last but not least, a super duper overdue photo of Syazwan during his grad back in 2013 cause he finally looked through his phone and realised that we had a photo together. Love to see him go crazy with Imran. They're like chemical reaction when they're together. So funny. Thanks for being such an awesome Chief cook during my foc days as a freshie!

 

On a side note though, can you believe I used to look so cute back then in 2013. Not that chubby, not that heavy, much more radiance. How horrible I look now. I formally apologise to those who see me everyday today. HAHAHA.

Next stop: MSTs then holidays!

Viva Vox V

Hello friends. Have been so infrequent in my blogging ever since the holidays. Busy and lazy I must confess and apologise. But I'm so touched I've got  my loyal stalkers fans -ahem Jamz I'm looking at you- coming to my blog once in awhile to check out for any updates. So before I move on to May's happenings I shall randomly throw back to April during the FOWA period since I didn't update here about  FOWA cause I was so busy getting ready for school right after FOWA. My gosh.

OC shirt. #campMystiqa. Had a great experience being the Chief Cook although it became quite stressful during the meal times due to the pressures coming from everywhere but being the finance for FOWA made me learn a lot not only about the finance stuffs cause I had to do them independently, but much more than that, I think I've learnt a lot from the Camp Chiefs, how to understand both sides of the story and to lead them too.

And  moving on............. What happened in May so far... I don't know actually. The school term moves so fast. Before I know it, it's already week 4 into the term and submission + presentation week is 5, MSTs fall in week 6. Only 10% completed on my projects and I don't even know what's going on in classes. Well, just pictures so far from May that I dug out from my phone.

School everyday became much tougher ever since Jamie left, but I guess I'm coping slowly. Just that it's kind of weird and awkward for me sometimes cause 3 different project groups with 3 different cliques in the class. Ruisin's, Shelyee's and Gibson's. And the question "sit with who" kind of pops up quite frequently during lectures and I think it's really weird for people to see me sitting with a different bunch of people during different lectures.

Attended Saints Chorale's concert last night after much persuasion and close to begging from YuanXing. HAHAHA. Okay, felt really bad like it seemed as though I just couldn't turn down the invitation. Was really hesitant and honestly, lazy to go for the concert. But just felt bad if I were to reject the invitation cause I've turned down a hundred and one jios to go to other choir concerts but then this time it was slightly different: it was HIS concert. Sigh, got to go and support.

Went with Dean, Diana, Jesselyn and Samuel but was kinda surprised at the amount of familiar people who went.

The CSS Chorale!

Kind of cool if you were there to witness how CSS invaded SAJC. Probably the only school that would gather together and take a big group shot even though you may not know everyone personally who would be in the same photo as you. All we did was Chloe shouting "Commonwealth take photoooooo!" And everyone just gathered. Quite a sight, and so much warm feelings.

Met so many old friends whom probably lost contact for the last 1.5 years ever since graduation. Sooooo happy to see them again.

Monique in particular!! Have seen or at least bumped into the rest of the commonwealthians once in awhile but haven't seen Monique since probably results day. Oh my gosh it's been sooooo long. Though once in a green moon we text but nothing feels as good as to be able to see her in real life. One of my dearest choir friends who hasn't changed and grow distant despite taking up leadership roles, always supportive of me and always there for me.

And not forgetting the performers!!

No regrets attending Viva Vox V at all. It was worth more than every cent that I spent. Even though I was sitting at the second tier, the choir still sounded great. And really glad that I went because not only did I manage to do mini catch up with old friends but also the concert has unlocked this small part buried deep in my heart the love I grew for choral singing and made me miss terribly singing with CSS Chorale and MTDC 2010/2011. Well, as the saying goes, you never learn to cherish some things till you never get to see them anymore.

And not to mention how proud I am of Yuanxing. Remember how he used to be such a carefree person in choir. Ahem, more like a person who couldn't be bothered at all. But now he has became the VP of Saints Chorale. Shared with me all his troubles, grievances and complains about how to make the choir more bonded and sing better. Saw his growth throughout thee one and a half years. And to see him grow an even stronger passion than me for choral singing. Just this amazing feeling how you see your friends grow and mature and I saw it so much in him.

Get well soon my dear, though you caught a fever and some food poisioning, though you looked so stiff doing all those chorography, but you did a great job completing all those pieces and you looked absolutely cute doing those moves unwillingly.

So this is his last concert which marks an end to his choir journey in SA, he's gonna step down soon. Like what?! My friends are all stepping down from their leadership roles? Time is passing way too fast. The last time I caught up with most of them, they were still talking about all the stepping ups. But then again...

C'est la vie.
