Thank you, Gloria

it's been a long wait to finally meet up with my other wacky half that i share many similar opinions with.

yes, that is gloria.  She is the kind of person i never really expected to be friends with because basically we just have really contrasting personalities i guess, well in some sense yes?

She is, well, different in a good kind of way. She has different and twisted sort of ways to the logic of this society and looks at mainstream things in a totally different light.

And yeah, she doesn't really believe in following trends and she just lets her own principles guide her through life.

Well, in that sense i am pretty much like her. We both same similar sentiments towards people around us and have weird and wacky conversations i pretty much don't understand after i look back at the conversations.

Nowadays, people say, weird is the new cool. And well, it is. But i truly believe that no one is weird in a certain sense, they just choose to follow the norm and think a certain event in a certain way.

When one individual looks at a certain matter in a different way, that person is deemed weird(?) in a good way or funny?? I don't even understand when i make my remarks differently about certain issues, my friends find it funny???

Well, back to point. It's honestly been around 8 years since i've known Gloria. But i've only interacted with her very closely for like 2 years i guess....?

It's really contradicting in some sense, we were in the same class for around 5 years and we never had a chance to mingle around and talk, well partly because we were in different groups and didn't gather together much.

And we did get much closer after graduation, which is pretty ironic in its own sense sometimes. 

To be honest, i honestly have really wacky ideas of my own most of the time but nah, i either voice it out and get called lame or funny by my friends HAHA.

My friend asked to be a comedian before and honestly, i was flabbergasted, like what?  That was my honest opinion in some sense but i don't kind of get why it is funny?????

Just quoting though, i named my handicraft horse the intergalatic horse mascot, IGHM for short and put a portable horn on it because i thought it was really cool and my friends thought it was funny? Honestly, i myself think it's funny too, but was it really that funny??????? (emphasise on that though)

The funny thing is that when i told gloria, she just agreed with me, that hey it's pretty cool and there's nothing wrong with doing different things than others.

I used to be a very follow the norm person, until i realised that sometimes, it is definitely better to just follow your own heart, because that just means becoming like a piece of grass in a field when you pretty much just want to be a flower.

So it hit me really hard when i knew gloria's character like oh my how can you have such contrasting thinking from other people? After interacting with her for around 5 months, during work and on social media and face to face, i realised she is doing things her way, and that really inspired in some way, that hey i want to be like her too and have a unique character instead of just fitting in.

I want to be remembered as a unique individual, not as a usual person in the crowd.

Ironic isn't it? People want to be unique yet here they are trying their very best to follow the trends and do things that are considered trends.

Personally, there is no need to adhere to those trends, you don't really need it in some sense because you should really just do what makes you comfortable.

Wow, it just surprises me how gloria and her uniquely different behaviour can affect me so much......

Well, thank you i guess, for inspiring me that much and allowing me to really open my sights of this world and not just live in my little bubble.

You really are a friend out of this world.

08/08/14



08/08/14 was a really special day for me! Happy Birthday to my special little girl, Luyee and my all-time best girl, Pohyee! 08/08/14 was a special celebration for National Day and there were no lessons even though we did have a Hari Raya Quiz and National Day Quiz....which i see no meaning in at all.

But anyways, on to the main point 8/8 was Luyee's birthday and hence i did buy her a cute present which i already wrapped hence i can't take any picture of it for you guys


hehe here is my main source of laughter in CO(Chinese Orchestra). Thanks a bunch for being one of the sweetest and cutest lil kid ever and even whatsapping me to say that you were really touched and you cried after reading my letter. aw sucha cute kidi cannot express how thankful i am for you during CO, always making laugh boundlessly and cracking weird jokes together and also can't forget about gossiping about our favourite people and your OTP hehehehe. Even though i couldn't go to your advanced BBQ but i still feel that 8/8 was a great day spent with you hehe and yay our second polaroid!!




Let's also not forget that it was a belated celebration for the cute pohyee, aka pohyee-mon, 鲍鱼, and Ahma hehe. Strictly speaking, the celebration for her was a pretty rushed one and there were some horribleclose shaves that she almost found out. When we were planning she was like rushing all over the place trying to find out what was happening, and plus on 8/8 we were finishing up on the board in the Parade Square and when she arrived, it was literally a state of panic, trust me. Thank goodness for Jeslyn's quick thinking hehe and in the end in the rush to take the board, i tumbled and took a hard fall.... ouch :( but oh well, it was worth it i guess??

That happened in the morning, so afterwards, we had the concert for NDP and Jiaen was doing a pretty good job of hiding the board, good one gurl. After the concert, it was Wanxuan's and my duty to hold Pohyee back as the rest scrambled to get ready. So, Wanxuan led her to the classroom and pretended to rummage through her stuff and in the end she realised she did forget to take her Geography textbook back  xD so Pohyee didn't suspect much.

Afterwards, it was my lame ass kiddo excuse that i had to go the bookshop and buy a pen( yeah way good excuse), well she bought my excuse and we headed down to the Canteen. Right at the time, i got a call from Bertina telling me to hurry up so i didn't buy my pen in the end HAHA well it's not i needed it


And things pretty much went smooth the whole celebration. She got all embarrassed because there was A whole crowd of people there, our CO clique, Class Clique and siaodingdong clique along with the CO seniors from Suona who were super nice hehe. So i guess she was pretty shocked that hey wow people remember my birthday because tbh her birthday is on a awkward day, after National Day??

Yup and then we cut the cake and did lots of stuff but we did not bash her, i repeat, WE DID NOT BASH HER. aw man, that was my most anticipated moment but i didn't do it because Bertina Mama said not to and well partially because the cake was so good even though i don't really chocolate creamy cakes but damn this one was good. Yeap and then we took a polaroid, thank goodness for my last film whew.


This one is not with everyone, but yay, the girls!!Because some cute guys were photo-shy so, we only took with the guys, well because they struggled a lot , i guess. //shrugs//  And personally i think this is like the finally full photo of our CO family and Clique hehehe. So thankful that all of you took time out to prepare for this celebration :)








here are the photos of her wishing really hard for idk what tho hahahaha doesn't she resemble a pokemon ooopsss 
But yeah, Happy Birthday  to you Ahma, thanks for going through ups and downs with me these 3 years and making me laugh and also act serious in certain times. You have certainly taught me a lot about life and how to appreciate chibis with cute cat ears aw HEHEHEH ok sorry i won't expose your fetish here but happy birthday one again!!! Everything is in the letter so please go and read thanks a lot!! <3  Love you!!!<3 




and here we have me and bae randomly selfie-ing with my phone on snapchat again hehe love you Wanxuan thanks for being my lil idiot and bae and my whatever and even my fishball and mcnugget(inside joke) HAHAHAHA  be thankful that i gave you a dedication even though it's not your birthday pffffffft

And yeah, that's pretty much it for this week, which summaries it up and tomorrow is a new week, with new adventures and common test week :( trust me i'm going to work my poor ass off to improve my pathetic grades pfft. Have a good night people and enjoy the holiday tomorrow! :)
