the story of us

Finally, a Sunday for myself, and the family I have been neglecting. I need to balance my time, balance my mind. I'm a Libra struggling to find that balance between everything in my life. Forgive my obsession with horoscope, I'm just really amazed by how accurate it can get. Maybe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy but I feel comforted because I can relate to it so well.

So many things happening, so much to do, I find myself in a whirl most of the time

Back to the start of the AY:

Right now, I'm still struggling to stay afloat. Haven't been doing really well. I need to iron things straight out. Be more organised. Be more proactive.

When you've hit rock bottom, things can only get better from here.

I'm half a month late! But gonna blog about it anyway. This post is dedicated to my beloved empire, Reizen

TECARAVAN FO 12/13

6 months of preparation, 5 empires, 4 committees, 3 days (per camp), 2 camps, 1 family ♥

I'm so glad to be part of this experience. Would love to re-live the 6 days over and over again... All the sweat and tears we shed, it was all worth it. Learnt so so so much from the whole camp and from all my fellow GLs. The bottomline: I'm so blessed to be in Reizen.

I remember how I was dreading FO the few days before it happened. I know it's everything we've been working for, and dreading it kind of defeats the entire purpose, but somehow I felt like FO was an end and things won't be the same for us anymore... But guess I was wrong, two weeks on, our bond's still as tight if not even tighter, plus now we have so many additions to our family! Our babies, reizen freshies. Best bunch of freshies, so sweet and enthusiastic. When the FOW freshies came back on FOC performance night to support us, I teared. They brought a board, made us cards, and even got friendship bands for all of us... When I saw them cheering the mojo cheer so loudly without us, I teared too. So this is what being a GL feels like.

Honestly during the first few days of FO I really couldn't get the FO feel. And I told the others that this felt like an extended refresh rather than the actual thing. Everything was happening too fast. During the first two days of FOW, I just wanted to get through the day and then just spend time with my GLs at night. I would cry at every debrief because I really felt like I wasn't performing... I am so so so grateful I have all my Reizen GLs to pull me back up everytime :') You guys make me feel so loved, and I'm not afraid to let my guard down in front of you guys at all haha shows how much I love all of you!!!! I think.. I have no glam side at all seriously, all the stupid things I did- dancing like some siaokia, talking cock, making stupid faces....... Haiyooo it's okay it's all for my dear Reizen. ♥♥♥

I guess that best part of Reizen is that we're not in to win, but we just want to have fun together! I wasn't happy at all when we got 2nd for FOW, I just felt so normal.. and when we got 4th for FOC I wasn't sad at all either. All that I was thinking about was whether the seniors and FAs were satisfied with our performance, and if the freshies felt alright about it. If so, we would be champs no matter what!!! But I think if there's such an award as the Most Emotional Empire I think we would definitely win it hahaha. I swear all our tears (since OTC) can fill up literal BUCKETS. Even during refreshes we would cry at debriefs... when all the other empires have left the sports gallery, we'll be the only ones there huddled together tearing hahaha sigh. And for all 6 days of FO, I water tapped every single day. 2nd night of FOC will always be a (painful) memory for me. It was the night where Jm and I witnessed the empire breaking up for the first time in front of our own eyes. We literally bawled our eyes out that night. It was so dramatic haha we were like wailing and letting our tears collect into the drain omg I will never forget that........ Once again it was our seniors who talked to us all night, sacrificed their sleep for us... And without sleeping at all, we made it through the last day of FO! We did it, and it felt good to just go all the way. I'll always remember how we surrounded the year 3s with the strawboards when FO ended, their faces (especially Isaac when we were imitating how he scolded us the previous night), how we all teared doing the mojo cheer for the last time in the sports complex as one empire... ☹

Haha yeah my face on the morning of the last day... Smiling so hard even though I was feeling like !@#$%^&*( inside. Look at how small my eyes are from crying all night haha

Mass FO outing with the freshies!

More pictures hehe just because I miss & love them so much (in reverse chronological order):

First meetup after FO at FEP!

Stayed up all night the day before FO just to make all these for them. Might not be the prettiest but they're filled with my lurrve

Refresh 3!

Refresh 2

Our very first refresh!

All the nights oovoo-ing and viwawa-ing haha, I will never forget how we cyber-bullied random strangers while playing poker

Reizen's very first empire dinner after OTC 

Orientation Training Camp 2011, where it all started.

Omg, I better end this post soon. Getting so emotional looking through all our past photos, all those memories surfacing in my head again. What I would do to relive all those moments... I pray we will always stay as one Reizen (including our freshies!) and nothing will ever break us apart.

Kinda sad knowing that next year, we won't be together again. But I swear I'll never forget each one of you and every single thing we went through together, and we'll continue passing on the #TPFO spirit- don't be afraid to cry, to make mistakes, always learn, laugh, and have fun.

Thank you to all my fellow GLs and also our freshies for making my first GL experience so incredible.

Tecaravan will always be a beautiful memory. ☺

xoxo

Blogging in the midst of the week- been crazy hectic as per the past month.
I miss Lanjays and the rest of my friends so so so badly, feeling like such a bad friend because I barely have time for them, plus my family :'( Swear I'll make it up to them in a bit.

Many people have been telling me things like 'why are you so skinny' 'you look like you lost weight' 'you are so thin now'!! I really don't feel lighter, but I weighed myself this morning and guess what, I lost 4 kgs since the start of the holidays. Must be a result of tiring myself out with school matters and work everyday. I barely have time to eat sometimes and I'm always on the move. If I lose more weight, I'm gonna be sub forty, sounds scary? Funny how I lose so much weight when I never planned to, and when I scheme to do so it never happens.

Some photos from the past two weeks (in reverse chronological order):

                                        
                                    
Last friday, huisi came over to crash and we finally carried out our sleepover plans! Had a nice pig out session at Royals' and we came back to put masks and have a girly night! And lobsters for breakfast the next morning, crazy much?

               

All thanks to this man who is my awesome dad! Haha, he ordered fresh lobsters from GMARKET omg I had no idea that they sold seafood... They were cute but unfortunately we grilled them with garlic and butter and it was so delish. Definitely an experience!

Reizen chalet, where we had lots of good food (thanks to our masterchef Isaac)! Didn't stay long but had a great time with them as always :> Can't believe it's FO next week. Time is flying by way too quickly..

Dnd! Had a good time helping out with my pts @rinnerrrr hehe

Synergy leaders' camp! Took a while for Santium to hype up but I'm glad we made it through. Definitely a camp I would remember; had a blast (nightwalk was the best!!) and went home with more than what I expected :') 

It's April already. 2012 is really flying by me, no idea where the past few months went. Work is really exhausting but fun, and my colleagues are an incredible bunch of people. This week is the store opening- kind of excited but I'm gonna be so shagged working for four full days. Come visit Uniqlo Parkway Parade, 5th April @ 10AM!

And immediately after that on Monday next week is finally Freshman Orientation. All these months of shouting, sweat, bonding and tears with Reizen is coming to an end. No, I wouldn't say it's an end actually, it's what we have been working so hard for since last december. I'm really excited to spend 6 crazy days with the best empire I could ever ask for. Praying that we, as well the freshies will have an awesome time!

Following week will be week 0 which I'm hyped up for as well, wanna see the new batch CMM freshies! I'm hoping our IG's CMM day will work out great too. Did I mention how Ms. H is such an angel? Always so encouraging, really glad she's our teacher i/c. 

And lastly, I'll be looking forward to the start of the new academic year. My junior year, and I'm all pumped up and ready for whatever's in store for me!

I need to keep going, and a little bit of optimism always helps, plus it's always nice to feel recognised for your efforts. Words can't express how grateful I am for everyone and everything in my life now. It can only get better, right? 

!!!!

All I need now... Is a hug. And a rest day.

That pretty much sums up my week (and the coming week). How contradictory, it feels really nice to be occupied but somehow I still feel like I'm idling. Am I actually putting my heart into all this?

Monday and tuesday, went to school to help out for the MediaBiz awards! Seeing all the year 3s graduating... Can't help remembering how fast time is going by. I'll be like them in no time. Haha, the theme was superheroes and I went as a #fail batgirl! Stop Press meeting on wed and somehow I'm a news editor now.... ok. And after work on thursday, because my parents and bro were out of town (without me :'() my ba0beizxz came over for a swim and chill session! 

tryneo ♥

hehe life's always good with them

Clachang haha met her after her work on Monday! Supposed to help her with her uni applications but the internet at Starbucks was so sucky that we ended up spamming photobooth with our twitfaces

Oh and on tuesday after MBA, had second interview with Reizen and we played running man after that! Never watched an episode of it in my life but it was fun! I kept hearing the jingling of the bells in my head even after the game ended! So traumatising. But I survived hehe and I walked through the engine level 6 corridor alone! #fearless

Haven't had a single rest day in two weeks!!! Am packing for SL camp now, but I'm still buzzing from refresh 2 yesterday. Never thought I'd feel so much love in an empire, but sometimes the unexpected just happens. ^ I can't wait for FO, definitely gonna be the highlight of the busy holiday. 

My coming week: SL camp, DnD, work work work work

I thought I'd at least get a warm welcome when I come back. It feels like ages since I spent time at home and I don't like this hostility. You have no idea how drained I am and how much I miss that fuzzy homely feeling and you're not making it better at all 

Lazy bones

Spent my monday mostly in bed. Haha, wanted to wake up early in the morning to clean my room but failed as expected. Snoozed till noon and rolled around till 3pm when I got up for lunch. Mom cooked too much food (as usual) and I ended up having to down three servings! What do you do when you're feeling so full? Go back to bed of course. I intended to just lie down and stone but obviously I fell asleep and woke up when it was nearly 8pm. MADNESS I TELL YOU. And I was supposed to meet Reizen for dinner but I didn't in the end because of this :( Pfft. I must have really overworked my body. :'( Been sleeping really little the past week. It's been hectic because I started work over the weekend, and had a day of training before that, along with my dates/outings :c Haha, but it felt really good to just idle and do nothing for a day, haven't done that in a while!

Started my first official day of work at ion yesterday, and it's been really great so far! I have @bimshon working with me, and the rest of the staff are really nice people too! Can't wait to go over to PP though, waking up at 630am for my morning shift is no joke.

Pictures with my new hair haha I'm still not really used to it. Plus they're so difficult to maintain because they keep splitting in the middle! Just shaking my head or a slight gust of wind blows them out of place. Rin looks so gorgeous though! Like an egyptian princess.

After work on Saturday, met up with my darling Lanjays!!! ♥ LIKE FINALLY!! I missed them so much especially bitchlip who I haven't seen since he booked into army almost a month ago! Nothing much, rotted at fep and went down to A&F after. Tryneo and I went to get our $3 manicure done at the Nail Status Cottage and Rui went to get her hair tinsel hair extensions! The lady did such a poor job with her hair that the crazy bitch actually borrowed my pair of scissors and layered her hair herself at the dustbin in the mall -_-

Didn't get a picture with Philip's bald head though. Haha, we were all attacking his (lack of) hair. Poor boy, but it was really funny. He looks like an egg now!

Alright, better go catch some winks now. 8am shift again tomorrow, followed by Kbox with Mun and gang! Can't wait to have our own concert again.

tata~
