ahh screw blogger ytd!

went for entree farewell after sch. its some 4-storey bungalow at farrer road. yes its HUGE. but kinda eerie cos its empty. anw it didnt start on a very happy note cos of some stuff, bt it was cool in the end. Firstly, im really so sorry hazel. i felt so bad! felt that it was all my freaking fault. ARGH! SORRY! ): bt on the other hand, you could have simply said no. As in seriously, we wouldnt have mind if you said no. didnt really have appetite for dinner. but thanks to winnie and xuewen, for just being there (: but after a while, we're back to normal alr. hazel i still love you just as much (: and theres so much food leftover, as usual. we packed them into boxes and i swear that can feed us all for at least another like 5 days. HOHO.

after hanging ard and wasting much time, the main prog finally started - our 'graduation ceremony' from entree. haha. kinda cool idea by the J1s. they got us a bib with our names, a photos frame with our camp grp photo and a candle in a little glass. all handwritten and decorated by them. it was really lovely. so its like they'll call our names. then we go forward and they'll put the bib on for us, then we'll blow out our candle. guess it sorta signifies our entree journey has come to an end. yeah kinda sad.

then background music was like graduation by vitamin C. totally fit into the atmosphere man. cos the lights were off, only the lighted candles. it was such a beautiful and lovely sight. bt it wasnt all that sad cos we were clapping and cheering and making fun of each other as we went up one by one. dno if we all did that by our nature, or by intention so that the atmosphere wouldnt get that sad and gloomy, then ppl will start crying and stuff. so i guess it can be considered as a happy ending? bt deep down, i know all of us are feeling sad, im sure. we all know it and feel it, bt just didnt say anything. theres just this common consensus among us.

but really a million thanks to the J1s for preparing all the stuff and making the farewell such a wonderful and memorable one. seriously, everything was cool and the gifts were simply lovely <3 make sure to invite us back for nxt yr's farewell! hahaha (:

sadly, not many J1s stayed and many J2s didnt come. sigh. so it was more or less the usual ppl who stayed over, like the dan gang, the sb4 gang, exco and luci gang which is us. then theres this game where we had to hide cards and the other team has to find it, J1s vs. J2s. we thought we were clever and scheming enough, but apparently the J1s arent tt bad afterall. hoho. they hid their cards in the trees, while we hid ours under some roof tile! haha. after that it was more or less mahjong/card games like poker, bridge, daidee, blackjack everywhere. oh yes we played twister and 'monkey soccer' too! oh man i seriously suck at twister. i dont stay in for more than 5 mins cos somehow my legs cramp way easily that night. monkey soccer was hell funny cos of the forfeits and ppl purposely nt receiving the ball cos they wanna sabo the previous person. LOLS!

zomg JC is still as blur as ever! haha. well he had to hug jiehui. adarsh and josh had to kiss. so did winnie and xiaohui. poor xiaohui she like forever kena forfeit one luh. then she and luci had to kiss each other's hands. wth?!? we're forever bullying her. haha. oh then once the ball flew into the hse nxt to us. the hse seemed empty too and yonghao was freaking scared when he climbed over to get it back. and dar was so horny man. hoho.

so the rest all slpt, squeezing into the mattress. while the sb4 gang and us continued playing and idling away thru the wee hours of the morn. i mahjong-ed for not even one round, bt i was zonking out alr. some of us decided to go up and take a NAP. cos maybe theres no space downstairs and the room upstairs is pretty good, its carpeted and the aircon is freaking cold. and maybe i only had my towel. and luci slpt like a pig, he was hell noisy man, making all sorts of weird noises. think our slping cycle really goes in hrs of 3. cos i slpt at 5 and woke up at 8. well maybe i was awaken by the noises ard. i dno. and by then the ppl slping downstairs are still slping! bt it was damn funny cos heard sam was slping beside sher, then somehow his shirt went up and his hands went over her. so she changed places with dan. LOLS!

we left ard 9 and went for mac break at the turtle mac! yeah the one with the turtle pond. while the rest stayed to clean up. haha. omg i was so freaking tired on the way home that i fell aslp once i sat on the bus. and my head hurts cos i kept knocking into the window! ): went home and slpt till 5. woohoo! slping rocks. haha (:

so it all ended just like that. but it doesnt feel that sad. maybe cos it feels that the entree spirit lives on forever. there'll still be entree mugging sessions on weds. and we can always meet up during the hols. prolly i'll miss the J1s the most. ppl like jc, nic, caibei, huiping, kejun, ian, dan, sam, wenjie, wenyao, ernest, clement, luong, thanh, dung, gong tuo, janel, adrienna etc. anw i wish you well guys, all the best for PROMOS and OP! yeah while we go on mugging for prelims and As.

As for J2s, hang in there yea. everyone is starting to feel the pressure, seriously, many ppl are staying back to seriously mug. i've nv seen so many ppl stay back in sch and mug so hard before, i swear. we're all getting scared that we cant mug finish, we're all getting stressed up. c'mon man, persevere for abt another month before we have a short and refreshing break. and then it will be baccalaurette, study leave and finally As. its gonna be over soon, very very soon. we can do it! you too ZM! we're all gonna make it thru (:

Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On

You’re not alone, together we stand
I’ll be by your side, you know I’ll take your hand
When it gets cold, and it feels like the end
There’s no place to go, you know I won’t give in

No I won’t give in

Keep holding on
Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I’m here for you, I’m here for you

There’s nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There’s no other way when it comes to the truth
So - keep holding on
Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through

So far away, I wish you were here
Before it’s too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close, and it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
