Last day at school on friday (22June) :

*we took tonnes of photos, but cause its all over at different cameras- i dont have any! hey peeps, send to me if you've got any. thx!*

left school with a bunch of mixed feelings.

like ive mentioned, the only thing that is holding me back is my beloved class. a bunch whom ive gone through quite a number of experience with.. a bunch that brought me outta my comfort zone and sheltered life frm Ngee Ann Sec days..

so much that i can recall now, but it all revolves around the wonderful people i've met in the class. and some which really made me realised "wah there are actually sucha person existing ard!" well, everywhere we go we're bound to find ppl we can click with and pp whom just dont belong.

the good and bad, ive kept them all and will pack them in my bag as i proceed on with life, be it pursuing my career or studies.

count me lucky, ive always been in the best bunch of people.. be in sec one's 1F, sec two's 2E6, sec three and four's 3E7 &4E7. i left school with the bestest memories one can ever have of a class.. and its also where i get to know a few of my life most impt people.

i hereby give my sincere blessings to every member of DTMJuly05! since we'll be more or less in the same industry, i'm sure we'll crosspaths somehow, someday, smiling back at one another remember those GOOD OLD DAYS! :)

Family went to Vietnam for Holz :

and so... i spent my exam week at my Da Gu's place with cousins Cheyenne and Chelsea.

its the first time im staying at any one's place for a week or so and,

its the first time my family left me alone here for holz.

yeah, u knw la my dad emphasize alot on family ties, so he always want the whole family to go for hols at least once (usually twice) tgt.

its a whole new kinda experience!

to be independent enough for some very basic routine. as easy as waking up on time, cos i no longer have my mom to give me the 2nd morning call (though i dont usuall need it! biological clock is much more reliable)

and of course, another experience is to study with kids ard! and this is what happens...........

i had my study kakis, made up of Yang Heng, Glenn, Sherlyn, Wei Ching & Rebecca, for twice during the exam week. though we didnt study 100% of the time we were tgt, but i guess we did cover enough to call ourselves Productive! haha..

the best part of the stay was the time i spent with little Chelsea..

she cried when i move home today. ouch, it did made my heart heavy you know..

cause she the past 1 week, we've indeed been spending alot of time tgt...

from piggybacking to playing ma sak ma sak to having meals tgt..

and thats one of my favourite photo of Chels praying @ church.. =)

Belated Father's Day Post :

I've actually wanted to type a post on Father's Day but cause i spent last sunday preparing for exams, so here's a belated one dedicated to my dearest Ah Pa.

Me and my dad like most parent and child have this unspoken "love" in between. as asians, i really dunno whats wrong saying "i love you" to pp u really love. perhaps its just our upbringing and culture we've been in since young.

i've got a very mummy-like-daddy. yea! cause he does the slightest things that a normal mummy wld do. like pouring us milk every night, cutting fruits, prepare vitamin C, shop for perfume for me, ask me to lose weight, remind me that my butt is big, alert me when my sch skirt is not straight, remind me my jacket, remind me this remind that, nag at me..

though not oftenly said but always felt. he's a man im thankful for, cos without him there isnt my family, there isnt me. everything he does, every thought he have in mind is for the family.. he plans ahead not because he is kiasu, but because he want to secure our future.

he gives me everything i want since young. whatever that is within his limits, he wld give it with willingly, whatever that is beyond his limit he will work harder so that he can provide me with it.

me: "toyota rush! ah pa, i think i like that car.. my test date is on july24th!"dad: "wah i think i must go on holiday on that day, please don't call me! i really hope u fail"

- - - behind my back - - -

he tells my mom: ah girl says she likes toyota rush, have any idea how much it cost? i think i must eat bread for the next few months man den i can buy her that car

=) thats what i meant.

he is a leading model himself. he's a fillial son, he's the bestest brother anyone can have cause he gives them the biggest portion of the cake, he's a faithful husband, he's a loving father.

if i have to set him as a mark to find a bf, perhaps i wld never be able to find one! haha..

theres so much i wanna say, theres so much for me to say. but i guess to him, actions means more than words.

from young, ive always been a pretty disappoint daughter that never do well in school to satisfy him. no, his expectations wasnt high, sometimes i guess he just expect me to get a C or B grade. but i will always be getting something lesser than wad he wanted.. sometimes i really question myself, ive got everything that i want, and im born in sucha blessed family, why can't i study well and just make my parents happy for once.

thats life, u just gotta get over it, look back and start regretting. sorry ah pa, i didn't not study on purpose, i jus had to grow outta that period.

now that everything is getting on on the brighter side, im really glad for that. im sure i did tell some of my mates, one of the reasons why i wanna get a degree its because i knw i'm gonna make my dad proud of me. some may think, a degree at this day is nothing.. yup perhaps, but seeing me get a degree is something to him. it will really mean so much and im sure i'll be able to make him proud of me the day he attend my convocation :) my short term goal is to workhard for that..

Dear Ah Pa,

sorry for the times i ache your heart,
sorry for the times i didnt do well as ur daughter,
i thank God for you,
thank you for everything you have given me.
I love you as much as you love me :)

for the rest of ur life, you'll always have us with you.

with much love :)

i actually bought him a card, but i've no idea how to start writing it!
