Tears and Joy

I got through my last cross-country as a purple house member yesterday and I lived! I really thought I was going to faint halfway through the race. I didn't manage to get a point for my house but I am thankful I finished it. I was so determined to get top 30 but knowing well enough I won't because of my lack of exercise and my non-existence stamina. Nonetheless I jogged for the first 2km and got really tired when I was entering my 3rd km so I decided to slow down and walk and occasionally jog when I have strength. When I was nearing the finishing line, they said my class had a few more seconds left, so I sprinted forward but to my disappointment, my time was up. Germaine greeted me with a smile because she got into the top 30 and we walked to the CF room together.

I felt like a failure then.
How could I not even get 1 point for purple house? I though to myself. Sheesh and it's already my last year. Germaine however replied "Maybe sports is not your thing. You have a talent for singing not like me." [rephrased]
At that moment, I was thinking to myself, yeah maybe that's true. Then, I laid down on the floor of the CF room with my bag as a pillow and slept. I was exhausted and totally drained and my sore throat from the night before was getting worse and to add to that, I was feeling sick and cold even though I was still sweating. I stayed on the floor for 30minutes when other CF members shuffled in and out of the room.

Finally at about 11am, it was time to gather all students of Catholic High School together and announce the results. All the members of every house were so hyped up, as always. I wanted to cheer but my sore throat was already bad enough so I decided against it but I participated in the wave which didn't require me to speak at all.

Purple house won again this year. I told Shu Min early that morning that purple was going to win again this year but she was so stubborn and I told Wai Leem that we'll say it feels like a deja vu when it's announced that we won. When it was all over, the first thing I did was run to Shu Min and said "It really does feel like a deja vu, don't you think?" I got whacked for saying that. Haha. Sorry girl, maybe our house really stole all the talented runners.

I know a few of  you guys got disqualified, which I shall not mention who but don't be too sad about it, I still love you guys *big hugs*

I feel sick when I got home. Felt too terrible to eat but I was starving so I had some porridge and visited the doctor who in return gave me some medicine for me to take. Had a 45 minutes nap and felt much better after that.

Then, had to get ready for dinner that nigh! Let's let the pictures to do the talking, shall we? (:

Emcees for the day, Jaykerr and Rachel. I think you guys did an awesome job

First performance was Jaykerr, he and his Gu Zhen. I didn't know you were that good! Brilliant

Next up was Zhuo Zhi and Rushan, popping. I bet they practised when they were skipping classes in QM room. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.

Then Jocelyn played and sang Bad Romance. AH JOCELYN! How sexy. I think if I was a guy I would have fallen for you, honest. It's your time to SHINE. Sounds bit familiar doesn't it, girl? Haha.

Invited Mr. Michael, our form teacher whom in the beginning initiated this whole dinner to give a speech.

Toasting because it's a Chinese tradition. Hm. Ok.

Germaine with Daryl.

Jaykerr, Zhuo Zhi and Rushan. Haha. Why were we all looking away?

Our ex-classmate who came back specially for the dinner.

Primary school friend till now! Time flies!

Prizes to be given out.

DSLR wannabe.

JoFan, this is for you. We cam-whored with MY DSLR.

Mr. Michael and family. With 2 out of place classmates.

Since Leslie was saying he felt like a gentleman that night, let's see what a "gentleman" he was at the table while eating.

Leslie and his usual "hehehe". It was hilarious sitting beside him during dinner.

Celebrated Kit Yeng's birthday. A day later than her original.

Her cake.

With the girls. Yee Teng & Joanne, where were you guys?

Jocelyn's.

Everyone dressed up that night and were all looking pretty and handsome. Some even wore a dress *ahem*and actually took the initiative to look more, dare I say, feminine *winks* you know who you are. Also, few of the guys actually looked smart in shirt. Didn't know our guys knew how to look good too. Although I had to leave early, I enjoyed myself and had an awesome time together with you all.

p/s- some of the pictures above were taken by Zebra. Thanks but most of them can't be used because they were either underexposed or overexposed! Anyhow, thank you nonetheless.

I still have some pictures to be put up. Some other day perhaps. Enjoy! If you need any of the pictures above, let me know.

Love,
Laine.

Stayed over at Jocelyn's house last night and we watched Batman, again! We agreed it was a good movie so she popped it into the PS3 and played it. It was yet another thrilling experience to watch it again. Don't think I'll ever get bored of it. Her parents brought back dinner for us. Porridge Enough said. After the movie, both of us were very much exhausted due to the retirement and graduation on Wednesday. We decided to hit the sacks.
Jocelyn is one funny girl. When she washed up and ready for bed, she said she felt refreshed. :s OKAY. So I suggested we play guitar hero, on her PS3!Oh it was fun I couldn't use the guitar simulator I borrowed because it was for a PS2. We made do with one guitar simulator and a controller and I'm sure it would have been as fun as if we had 2 guitar simulators. We played till about 30minutes past 12 and it was clear that it was bedtime.
Lights off.

Wanna know a FF about Jocelyn Khoo Pei Lin? She wakes up at 5 in the morning everyday. I kid you not!
This morning however, she woke up later than usual, a little past 7. Right about when I woke up too. Got washed up, made breakkie!

Morning Jocelyn and happy birthday! and NO she didn't do all the cooking. I helped too.

The batter in the pan. Smells good, with a tinge of cinnamon.

There we go flipping the pancake and it's ready!

Breakfast was good. Period.
Then, we watched one episode of dollhouse. Oh my word, it's so confusing I don't get it. She exposed me to episode 13. She said it's somehow an epilogue, oh wells.

After we showered and got dressed, we headed to Midvalley for our movie we've been anticipating for a week or so. The MJ movie This Is It.

Got together with the other 6 girls [Yee Teng, Daphne, Joanne, Li Ean,Yi Yin and Twan Ting] and entered the cinema.

It was an awesome movie. A must watch! Those who are still contemplating to watch or not to, please do get a ticket. I am not a MJ fan but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Lunched at Sushi King. Somehow Yee Teng couldn't stop laughing during lunch and the whole chair was somewhat vibrating because she laughs really hard. Enjoyed the company and unofficially celebrating Jocelyn's birthday.

We ended up in the arcade after lunch. Brings back memories. I guess the arcade is a good place to kill some time if you have no idea what to do. Played some games. It's pretty pathetic because their games are quite easy and petite. We were like a bunch of teenagers trying to look like we're 6, honestly. This is who we are, this is who I am.

Happy 16th birthday once again Jocelyn, cheers

Love,
Lainie

Since Leslie Koon Tzer Peng has been such a great friend, we decided to celebrate his birthday, in Sanbanto. Sanbanto specializes in selling pork and also has a small cafe in it, where we spent our evening today. So all you pork lovers out there, this is a place you definitely would want to visit. It's in SS2, same row as Maybank.

So we got his cake our first after tuition.

Got him to blow and wish on his imagined lighted candle. Don't want to burn down Edusmart do we?

Cut the cake, cut the cake!

Then we headed out to Sanbanto for dinner.

Presenting to you Daniel Foong here as your appetizer. If you are wondering who he was "seducing", it was poor Wei Jun. Got the goose bumps yet?

Finally he gave us a charming smile.

A friend I have come to love over the past 9/10 months!

Yummy cheese baked meatballs. They were a wee bit expensive though.

The boy whom we came all the way out to eat with[for me at least!]. He says he can't smile properly if there's a camera focused on him. Or, maybe he's just camera shy?

AX. What was his full name again? Aun Xiang? Sorry, did I get it right?
See what his shirt says? cute ain't it?

This time blowing a very real and lighted candle.

Leslie and Wei Jun, the rock star?

So, I'm boss here.

The bunch. With Xia looking a little blur.

Take 2 with Daniel blocking me[and also looking a bit weird.Haha]!Took another picture before Xia left. It took us about 5 minutes to get this picture. Xia's dad kept shaking with my phone while taking the picture so we kept re-taking. This is best out of the 4 pictures taken.

So, happy belated birthday again Leslie Koon Tzer Peng.
Beloved friend, tuition mate and my class monitor. All the best to you as you grow a year older [and your muscles you are going to work your ass out for]. Hope you grow up a lil, yea?

As promised Xia.

Love,
Lainie.
