and while i was on the train today, i kept a lookout to the surroundings..which i haven been doing for quite some time already...first was a sec 4 couple that had just gotten their O level certs. apparently, the girl did better and the guy was saying that he was just thinking of what kind of route he wanna take in future...haha, i had this sudden urge to take out my namecard and OPP him la and tell him that i think you might wanna be a millionaire in future. ..haha. yeah...16 yr old..lol i tot back when i was 16, all i wanted was to be a teacher. hah

second was a mum with 2 children. felt that the 2 kids are so loved can!! the mum really so nice to them lo. even i outsider also can feel the love. just felt that mums are so noble...well well....

and next...was that i dozed off. and i overshot the lavender station that i wanted to go by 4.30pm so that i could collect my passport. and because of the overshot, i reached at 4.40pm instead of the 4.20pm that i could have had. was so angry with myself for dozing off. but happy that i still decided to rush down and give it a try and the nice lady let me through and i collected my passport. yay

i guess...its just the wrong timing that we met. i admit, we had many unforgettable times together, and i do still recall the good times we had.. probably, we just lacked the fate. you yuan wu fen...i cant think of a better term for it..this seems to be the best decription that i could find...

i'm sorry. i've moved on with life. probably, you should too. and i know...you will. you'll be happier....wont you? =)

歌曲：蒲公英的约定
歌手：周杰伦专辑：我很忙
作词:方文山作曲:周杰伦

小学篱芭旁的蒲公英

是记忆里有味道的风景

午睡操场传来蝉的声音

多少年后也还是很好听

将愿望折纸飞机寄成信

因为我们等不到那流星

认真投决定命运的硬币

却不知道到底能去哪里

一起长大的约定那样清晰

打过勾的我相信

说好要一起旅行

是你如今唯一坚持的任性

在走廊上罚站打手心

我们却注意窗边的蜻蜓

我去到哪里你都跟很紧

很多的梦在等待着进行

一起长大的约定

那样真心

与你聊不完的曾经

而我已经分不清

你是友情

还是错过的爱情

►JAF year end chalet!

so fast, a year has passed. I'm here once again attending the JAF year end chalet. cool! =) slightly different this year...but this year did much more things than the previous one, mainly because we had one day more i guess. =)

we had bingo....it was so fun and exciting! haha. and the ultimate winner is Mr Mick! exchange of $10 for $60++, congrats!

then, we had our year end video which i spent nights doing...and lastly, the most impt part of each year, New Year Resoution. =) my three new year resolutions are........

'kept in my heart. =p'

and as usual, we had our countdown with all the snow spray cans and water bombs! =0) but i was hit by a water boomb right in the side of my face that whacked my specs into my flesh, which made me so pissed. ahha..but well, its ok..everyone was just trying to have fun..=)

we din sleep that night, and had cards games...afterwhich, we went for mac breakfast and

took a walk by the beach

then played bridge and then lunch! before lunch i went kite-flying!!haha i love it. =p but the wind was too strong, no challenge at all, but i still love it. =p

after lunch was swimming time! and then, dinner time and then ARCADE TIME!

and as usual, my usual station....=p

broke record again! now my highest score ever is 461! together with kaijie, after 3 tries that night. YAY! we simply had a lot of fun with....

kaiwen the pro and eugene the newbie playing para para, everyone playing basketball, mick playing daytona, and some music thing that wanying, huiyi and guorui were playing cheat together.

and then we went back for movie, bridge and mahjong! and i slept. haha i was purely too tired. din sleep at all since the start of the chalet.

i wanted to wake up at 4am to have more fun. who knows, the next moment i woke up, i saw everyone else sleeping too.haha it was already 7+ in the morning.! and we packed up to check out. b4 we left, i went for a cycle and found horses!!damn pretty....i take photo until my batt went flat. haha...

the prettiest one was the black one that had beautiful 'hair'. it was too far for me to take photo of it...but i manage to take photo of the second prettiest!here it is..

and...we went for lunch at tampines mall....durian fried rice...interesting huh. haha and many many nice food! my fav was the claypot eggplant. DAMN nice!! and then, we watched a movie after that. AVP. nice! =)

so thats how i spent the first two days of my 2008. =)

►brenda's 2007...

so fast!....a year has passed....let me recall my past year...but before that, a summary of my life...in 2007

2007 has been one of my most exciting years...the year that i got to know the most people, earn the most money, get the lousiest grades, went to the most places, slept at the most wrong timings, get home at the latest times. my life this year bascially revolves around school and sunshine...besides those will be my odac friends and history gang sisters...=)

like i said, i earned the most money this year, and spent the most too. this year, i have learnt the most valuable lesson: Dare to think BIG. thats what sunshine gave me, what sunshine people show me and as part of the sunshine family, i told myself that i gotta do just that as well. =) so whatever it is, i gotta have the faith and confidence and most of all, the belief that I CAN DO IT!...=)

recollections of events that i think impacted me...:

Jan2007: New year chalet. Genting trip with him. Ntu start school. Sunshine fighting period. staying hall time. supper at NTI coffeeshop after catching midnight train after appointment.

Feb2007: Chinese new year. $800 Chinese new year dinner from zen. Valentine's day rose from him. staying hall time. canteen 1 porridge. Nightwalks at NTU.

December2007: Watching DOTA. MOVIES and movies. Kaijie's comeback. Sony Ericsson K770i. Christmas Celebration. Christmas Flowers. Odac meet up party. 404 gathering. -no money-

and many many more i'm sure...well. realised my life really started in the later part of the year. or probably my brain cant remember so many things, so events that happened at the later part of the year seems easier to recall. haha. after joining trainer's club, a lot more things to do, a lot more people i've gotten to know..like daren, my NDO teammates, huimin, tiffany, trainer club's people, mr guanxiang, benson, neo, mr travis, meixuan, mr jackson, mr robert, mr daniel, arvin, alvin.......and many many many more linked from one to another.... realised that in 2007,i felt so 'doted' on...thanks for whoever has doted on me...cuz u've definitely crossed my path and impacted me...=)

and in the coming year, i hope my life would be even more interesting and fun and doted on..wahahah =p...and i pray for more 'September2007, October2007 and November2007(minus the getting obviously fat, no money and meetings)'s!!
