"Pam, Jeremy is one of the missing dragonboaters. His body has been found already."


For a while, my mind couldn't register any thoughts.
Who? What?
It sounded like a very bad prank.
I cooled down and checked with my aunt.
Indeed there was an accident.
I rang up 'en.


"What happened?"

"Exactly what I've sms-ed you."

"We lost a friend."


I was in utter disbelief.
I flipped the papers and saw his face.
I couldn't control the tears I held back anymore.


How is this possible.
I just met him at lecture last wed.
Just 2 days before the mishap.
The images so vivid, they kept re-running in my mind.
He was still joking and teasing.
He waved "hi" the many times we past each other, along with that captivating smile.
That smile of his that warms the heart.
I never would have imagined that he was also waving his 'last goodbye'.


If only I had initiated more conversations during that car ride.
If only we had joked more over the lunch.
If only we had discussed more about CF during the lecture.
If only we had a dance that night at Zouk.
If only I hadn't frown and stoned so much whenever I saw you.
If only...you hadn't left us so soon.


It still seems so surreal.
Its so hard to imagine you're lying in there.
Like how?
Uncle told us he warned you about the waters.
He turned to look at where you lay and said "No choice.What to do? He didn't manage to get pass this."
The vulnerability of life.
Won't you wince at the thought of it.


"To the one whom I secretly thought was cute.
I'm glad our paths met, albeit a short one.
Despite those brief exchanges, your sincerity towards a friend was deeply felt.
I'm blessed to have received it.
Thank you Zixiang.
As we lament over the painful parting.
Your smile that touches our hearts will be fondly remembered of.
We'll keep you close as always.
It won't even seem you've gone.
May you find your peace dear one."

It was easily one of the best saturdays I've spent in a while.
Had a ktv session with the family.
It was a surprise wedding anniversary celebration for my second uncle.
Cos his wife let in that he's been hooked to singing recently.
So we decided ktv would be good!

Along with my grandma aunts uncles and cousins.
15 of us.
We had our fair share of the contemporary pop and the oldies.
The stalls all look the same and they're numbered 1-9.
Selling the same stuff.
Oh and they offer something new!
DUCK SATAY! anyone tried before?

I gotta share a bimbo moment.
The satay man came to ask what we wanted.
So my aunt asked us "chicken? mutton?"
And I said I want "Pork".
So my very puzzled aunt looked at me and then double checked "no pork right?"
Oh yeswhat was I thinking.
Obviously they do not serve.
Its a Malay stall.
Like OMG.
This is machiam like the curry house BABI joke!
Of course I wasnt spared from being ridiculed at again!

After dinner all of us went back to my uncle's for a 'bonding session'.
The usual.
Wanted to do mahjong but we were totally tired.
So watched some soccer(yeah liverpool won!)
While the adults were giving a prep talk to my boy cousins abt BGRs and such.
How interesting.
We the elder girls got to hear all about our lil brothers' love stories with their various girlfriends.
And the boys reckon its time we OLD GIRLS get ourselves a boyfriend soon.
HAHA.

Speaking of which I was getting all emo last night.
Stayed up to read and backtracked on my past entries.
And made an alarming realisation.
Well I was also msn-ing with ann and this someone.
This someone whom I have very confused feelings over.
But I guess the air is cleared.
I'm pretty sure where to take it from here now.

The past entries and convo with friends enlightened me a great deal.
Wan'er is one friend who has never failed to enlighten me when it comes to affairs of such.
I've always managed to feel more liberated and have a clearer sense of direction after chatting with her.
Even if there was a big lapse from the prev time we chat.
She's gonna be back on thurs!
Whee!


PS: Do not attempt late night antics like "googling" for your kindergarten sweetheart. Ann did!
Much to her dismay, it absolutely dashed her hopes and the beautiful image she had of him!


I decided that I shall just let the picture of my chubby-&-fair-boy-who-takes-trishaw-with-me remain as it is.
Lest anything goes awry.

City Venture (9-10 Nov)

My school's version of amazing race.
Just minutes into the race and I've already started lamenting on how I got myself into this act.
I so felt like pulling out and just head home.


Like when was the last thing I did such VIGOROUS physically demanding activity.
I seriously thought we could have do with some warm up.
All geared in my tortoise shell and not so comfy sneakers.
I really regretted bringing all the nonsense.
SO HEAVY can!
I actually packed like AROMATHERAPY OIL PILLOW and whatnot in my backpack!
I must be mad.

We were scrambling like mad animals on the roads from bus stops to stations.
#@Q*#*#@!#!
WAH PIANGS.
And it doesnt help when we have a hardcore group leader who pias like he's all set to clinch the top position.
There is no STOPPING.
They run up the stairs instead of using the escalators!!!!!
I wanna cry!
As much as I don't wanna run I still gotta drag my feet.
Cos it really feels like sheet to be the ones bringing the group down.

I think ann and I felt it STRONGLY.
But our guys are really accomodating and nice.
They never once complained or pulled any faces.
Not sure if they're secretly cursing us thou.
HEH.
And they'll try to slow down or wait up ahead for us.
THUMBS UP for the 3 musketeers!

We prevailed thru perserverance and eventually EMERGED 16th position out of 20 teams!!!
WAHAHAH. What a consolation.
And our team leader says "not too bad lah"!
He even thanked Bell and I.
Like what have we contributed?!?
It just made us felt even more guilty.
Anyhow 3 cheers for TEAM SUNSHINE!



looking all radiant & cheery before the start of the race! we love the KALIPOKs!

the 3 powerful musketeers!

tomas stuffing the food at the pit stop

cedric happy to enjoy his cheng teng

our grp leader edmund! competing with the other team.

look at what ANN and I were doing? what we do best --- cam whoring! (when the guys were sloggin it out)

clue to our final pit stop for the food theme: China Square Don's Pie

yea so I did contribute ABIT.

the guys having to EAT again!

the shopping theme. ann and i were desperately looking for this freaking "XIAO SHUO CHU ZU" shop in far east. we went round & round level 5.the guys called and asked what we were doing at level 5! cos the game masters clearly said "shops are to be found at level 2/3"!!!oh YAH HOR! crappp. we ran down to level 3 and was asking the shopowner where this shop is.
not knowing that we were already at the RIGHT SHOP! OMG. seriously.

the sleepover point: JJC. my macs dinner at 12am. I was all flushed after the crazy evening.

we are happy after a good bath! we had the towels draped over our shoulders the entire night because...! HAHA.

the guys having their puff time.

our 1st station early in the morning! stadium!

WHEE. we breezed thru the 1st challenge! its a gd start!

the sports theme were all in the EAST! yea our turf where we reign! feels gd to be on familiar grounds!

the pit stop at kembangan.

finally the first decent meal since the night before.
but this stupid fly totally killed my appetite!

this is how our 'passport' looks like.our final theme "fear factor"!

we had to bury our hands in the box full of these! ann and i were screaming non stop initially. but after a min into it, we got over the fear and started to pick up the worms and throw at our game masters namely Mr Jerome!

we had to make edmund Mr Santa out of the scraps. this was at the taka forum.

we hadda get kisses from passers by of different races. Ann got a cutee indian boy!

and this cute angmoh! lucky girl lah!

edmund and the cute indian boy's mom! (i have no idea why i was so tickled)

I picked the MALAY card.picture was blurred for obvious reasons. HAHA.

our final destination at esplanade. us still attempting to camwhore despite the SHAGGEDness. we really look washed out.

team SUNSHINE!


Though we complained sooo much.
But never regretted going on the race.
Like I felt like a STUDENT all over again :)
Kicking up a ruckus in shopping malls, eating disgusting concoctions of drinks and food, doing embarrassing acts in public and camp in school where we bathe in guys toilets!
When was the last time we pulled off such crazy stunts?
This is probably one of the last few 'students' moments' we get to indulge in.
After this we're all gonna graduate and its HELLO workforce.
No more excuses for adolescent acts.
And whats left are reminiscence of such good ol' fun then.
I don't wanna grow up.
*Sniff*

PAM read this OMGGGGG someone bitched bout u
That was the subject of an email I received at 2plus am.
I thought my cousin was playing a fool.

When I read the content of that email.
I was like &*#&@(#@(*#.
WTH.
This ungrateful pipsqueak.
Well she's one of my girlfriend's sister ok.
Like she didnt seem the bitchy sort at all lah.
But yet she wrote mean things about me.
Although she did not specify my name or what.
But both my cousin and I agreed that it was ME she was talking about!
Well she did say some nice stuff also.
But thats besides the point!
I so wanna post the entry here ok!
I think everyone will have a good laugh over what she wrote lah.
But I reckon I shall be more magnanimous and just let it pass.
I have no intention of starting a catfight with a juvenile.


Like WHATEVER.
I actually did her a FAVOUR and this is how she returned the favour.
To think she actually pretended to be all nice and chummy around us.
YUCKS.
FAKE-O.
Now it makes me wonder if her sister is also a fako like she is.
I mean well, some things run in the family, isn't it?
ARGH.gross sheet.
Still contemplating if I should talk to my friend about it.
But obviously sisters will side each other right.
So should I just pretend like I didnt know about this.
But each time I speak with my friend, I'm reminded of the SISTER ACT.
Grrr.

Alright pam, chill.
To err is human, to forgive divine.
She's just a kid.
Its all child's play.
FINEFINE.
I just needed to throw this out.
Now it feels good.

On a lighter note.
I'm taking part in my sch's version of amazing race tomm.
Its an overnight affair.
SAT 4pm till SUN 5pm.
My gawd.
No taxis or cars.
Like seriously!
We'd better win!
GO! TEAM SUNSHINE!
