Tears and Joy

When  different worlds collide, you get an abstract work of art.

p/s- Need a break or and getaway. A jamming session would be great. Jocelyn, we need this.

Love,
Laine.

what the world needs is a little humour and a bit of Germaine and Ee Laine. We say, "Bring it on!"

"Yes teacher, I understand!"

Humour me!

Love,
Laine.

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.

Although it was our last BM tuition together last Friday, our spirits were definitely not dampen. We went through the whole tuition as usual. Doing work and joking as and when we could. I finally finished my card for Lee Xia. Her 16th birthday card Got her an early cake but a late card, adds up. Got the D90 to tuition and snapped a portrait of them, they're my model for the day.

Ho Lee Xia reading the card I made for her.

Koon Tzer Peng poses for me this once!

Wei Jun the happy-go-lucky.

Fei Kai, a.k.a. Mr. Shy.

Jessica Cheah who is ever so quiet too.

AX trying to win over our attention by being "cool".
Failed AX! Failed! Haha.

Ee Wen. Nice girl. Met her only recently.
Crap, I think I forgot to adjust the aperture mode for this picture.

Khin Khuin. Perhaps the most annoying penguin around.

Our tuition teachers.

Decided to get a picture of the whole class at the end of tuition. Well, I'll see you guy next year?

So they decided to have one last dinner together before the year ended. I'm a little sad that it has come to an end for this year but I know that when we return next year, there's something to look forward to. The rest are just random shots at the restaurant.

Set the shutter speed real low and there you get it. Was just a trial run.

Playing Bounce on my phone again.

Trial run 2. This has a more ghostly effect.

Last picture before I left.
I must say, we're one noisy bunch. or maybe it's just me?

and sorry Xia for posting it up a bit late.

Love,
Lainie.

After some teaching and learning, I finally did an aperture picture by myself. It's a start.
