Mid-Semester Break
Mid-semester break is finally here!! what a terrible 3 weeks i had.. non-stop chionging of assignments and test and presentation.. i can finally take a break!! will go into hibernation for a few days to catch up on sleep.. haha!!
couldnt join tess, maly and tammy on their west coast trip as i have other commitments this wkend.. but its alright! went to west coast the last time i was in NZ so not missing much.. juz my friends who are away =( but i will be gg down to queenstown with yana and tosin to meet up with tammy on wed! =) it'll be fun watching them do bungee jumping and sky-diving.. hehe!! and mebbe meet up with april for dinner on thu at queenstown!! =)
gosh.. the weather has been rather crazy lately.. even though the sun is shining.. it is super cold outside with strong winds and the next minute it will start to rain.. i heard tt it was snowing in invercargill yesterday!! and its only autumn!! rain shine rain shine.. no wonder pple are falling sick... everyone pls take care!! prevention is better than cure!! so while u're having exams.. pls pls pls do not neglect ur health!! and my dear friends here in NZ.. pls pls pls wear more warm clothing!!
now on to my 3-way dilemma.. gg back to spore early july, end july or dec?? so wad has been troubling me??
dunedin has been a great place to live and study in!! my flatmates are great and i love my friends here!! they are great pple and i would miss them dearly!! and yes.. i also miss my dear friends in spore!! i rmb u all back home studying for exams or working!! another thing is the pace of life.. the style of teaching is also different here.. there's more independent learning.. and lectures here are only 50mins!! it has been quite easy for me to settle in since the first day i got to dunedin.. never felt homesick at all.. which many pple found it quite weird.. but tt was prob bcuz i feel so at home here!! even though its super cold in the morning.. i still enjoy waking up early and gg for physics lectures.. unless its a friday lecture, cuz i've got assignment due and i would sleep pretty late.. so i cant wake up on fridays.. haha!! i enjoy walking around town and doing my own grocery shopping.. there's so much independence!! i'm loving my life here and i dun wish to change it.. haiz.. will life be the same when i'm back in spore?? i dun think so..
so wad is holding me back from extending?? well.. commitments in spore such as oac'08!! i really wanna go for it cuz i missed it last year as i went to the US.. and i was involved in the early stages of the planning for this yr's camp.. it looks to be an exciting camp this year and i really want to be there!!! another event is Singapore's 2nd Boccia Invitational Open organised by SDSC, which i'm a registered volunteer.. helped out last year as a referee and it has been an awesome experience.. and this yr's open would be a bigger event than last yr since the countries will be preparing for Paralympics this year.. but still dunno whether i can referee in it since i'm onli a certified referee.. they may want only international referees.. i will only know next week..
have been helping out at a local boccia club here in dunedin.. to learn more about the game and help out with the training and train my playing skills as well.. it is definitely not an easy game to play and i really admire the athletes.. they are so accurate and could strategise so well!! helped out as a referee in last wk's boccia competition where players from christchurch and dunedin took part in.. it has been a great experience and exposure refereeing in a foreign country..
NZ will be having its Boccia Nationals in July.. and this time both north island and south island players will be taking part.. i juz wanna go watch the event and see the players in action.. cuz there are really good players from the national team taking part.. and so there would be exciting matches!! paul was saying tt if i went for the nationals, they would put me down for refereeing.. it sounds like another gd experience rite?? refereeing at a national tournament is an awesome opportunity!!
but if i stay in NZ for the nationals, i would be without accomodation for 3 weeks.. so where do i hang around and stay in the meantime till the nationals?? tts another thing to consider... haiya..
checked the dates of the competitions... NZ nationals is from 24-27 july and Spore's invitational open is from 28 july to 3 august.. but competition itself only starts on 30 july.. so i can definitely be able to attend both..
in a dilemma.. if i extend my sep.. will miss odac camp and the invitational open in spore... if i go back early july.. will miss the nationals here.. if i return to spore end july.. will miss the odac camp!! and i'll definitely miss NZ!!!
any suggestions anybody?? =(

I Do (Cherish You) - by 98 degrees
All I am, All I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me cause I
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
Till that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all of my heart
Till my dying day
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
Yes I do, I do
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby, I do
I do cherish you
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby, I do
Oh, I do
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me cause I
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
In my world, before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
Till that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all of my heart
Till my dying day
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
Yes I do, I do
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby, I do
I do cherish you
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby, I do
Oh, I do

Heaven By Your Side - by A1
you and i, cannot hide
the love we feel inside,
the words we need to say
i feel that i
have always walked alone
but now that you're here with me,
there'll always be a place that i can go
suddenly our destiny
has started to unfold
when you're next to me
i can see the greatest story
love has ever told
now my life is blessed
with the love of an angel
how can it be true?
somebody to keep the dream alive
the dream i found in you
i always thought that love
would be the strangest thing to me
but when we touch, i realise
that i found my place in heaven by your side
i could fly, when you smile
i'd walk a thousand miles
to hear you call my name
now that i have finally found the one
who will be there for me eternally
my everlasting sun.
suddenly our destiny
has started to unfold
when you're next to me
i can see the greatest story love
has ever told.

that i found my place in heaven by your side
heaven by your side,
heaven by your side,
heaven by your side
when your next to me,
i can see the greatest story love

Pissed
Feeling super pissed with myself right now.. juz gotten back my music test result and its only 97%.. thanks to not sleeping much before the test, not checking my work and walking out 35mins early, and not reading the questions properly and juz glancing thru the questions.. mistake was super careless and so its my own fault..
a BIG REMINDER to myself tt i will sleep lots before a music test, read every question carefully, and will not walk out after finishing a test even if i finish way early, and will check my work a million times until its time to hand in..
i'm so freaking pissed with myself right now
