Someone like you

Too sweet, this is embarrassing to admit but... I love weddings and proposals. Haha, probably my only girly side... my weakness for cheesy romantic stuffs. :')

The past month, or should I say, the whole year passed by in a flash. How scary. Before we know it, more than half of 2012's gone, and we're already embarking on August. (Which spells: exam period ☹! But which also means holidays are on the brink!!! Yay! ☺☺)

Had an awesome Saturday. Slept in the whole morning (still going through the aftermath of last weekend's camp) and woke up to a cooling rainy weather and brunch bought by my mama! Life's good. Went out to meet my darling Lanjayssss!!! Rui picked me up in her car! First time getting driven by her since she got her licence a while ago~ *-*

✌

Picked up the rest, and we went to Nakhon's for some *slurpz thai food! My virgin experience. The food was damn good but my tolerance for spicy food really cannot make it. They were like competing- who can down more of the tom yam soup but I was just dying after about 5 spoons ☹.

Mango sticky rice ♡♡

finally got to try this, sooOoOo good

Celebrated Tryney's belated birthday too. Got her cheesecake, a card and a new wallet! Happy birthday my love! Please find some love soon! ♥

Went to ICC for dessert after. Ate so much today oh mai gawd, there goes all the weight I lost during camp. HAHA who am I kidding, since when did I care about my weight anyway....?! 

Just some snapshots of my favourite people ♡ 

Popped by Dom's birthday party after family dinner on Friday night. A bunch of people I really missed hanging out with! We've all grown up sigh. I'm really getting old.

School's getting better, really glad that most of the projects have been submitted! So now all that's left is BMR group project, SingCam PSA and the radio drama. And after that, may I be blessed with motivation to mug for BMR and Film exam!!!!!!! Let's go #supersheryl! Less than a month to go before exams, holidays and then Cambodia omgomgomg *excited My grades really haven't been showing this semester, guess I placed my priorities wrongly somehow... but it's okay, I'll get back on track!!! Okay, feeling so urged to work suddenly. Shall start on my part for BMR immediately after I finish this post. HAHAHA

more picspam first:

Last weekend was our Sub-Committee Camp aka The Hunger Race! Though there were several hiccups here and there, it was a success overall and the feedbacks were generally really positive! Yay to us and the organising committee who slogged so hard. Crazy crazy three days and all of us were really mad and sleep-deprived at the end of it. 

My first (and maybe the last) time being an FA... It was a really exhilarating experience, and I really have so much more to learn... My district had really lovely, enthusiastic and awesome campers ☺☺! I'm not exactly a hardworking person, nor am I a fantastic FA, my frontline isn't strong and I didn't push them. But they made it so much easier for me to facilitate. Love you guys #TALON! Oppa Talon Style~ *op op op op sexehhhh ladehhhhh hahahaha. 

My sexy #Talon birds with the proggers on day 3

3 days, (barely) 2 hours of sleep, and only 1 meal *-* still no idea how it happened. And my stomach flu really cursed me on the first night. But it was really cray cray fun hahaha especially the first night when all the FAs were rehearsing the mass dance and FA dance. Probably went through it about 200 times altogether omgzzzz. Nic and I also had a lot of fun teaching the mass dance haha (thanks to our good chemistry) 

Day 1 Running Man! Spot me in red~

with the proggers and loggers at the end! :') thank you everyone who made this camp a blast

Recounting my week, or rather blogging, is so therapeutic I swear. I feel so energised and motivated to complete all my tasks now! Okay I hope this determination lasts... okay maybe not I feel tired already~. I have this sleep debt since FO that I'm never ever gonna pay off... zzzZZzzzZz 

Be strong when you are weak, be brave when you are scared, and be humble when you are victorious

Nothing makes me happier than to hear these four words- "I'm proud of you".

Good night x ☀

I can hear them speaking, I can hear their thoughts

But what good is it if you don't see it at all?

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):

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
