BACK (super late post)

12th December 2008

*yikes* for my teenyweeny pool of readers,
i'm so sorry i didn't pre-empt ya
that i'd be away for a few days.
ANYWAY, uh.. i'm back now! (heh)

where did i go?

the moment i left the exam venue
on the last day of term (11th Dec)
i was whisked off in my papa's (company) car
to the immigration customs en route to m'sia!

that marked the beginning of a few-hours car ride
to KL to spend time with my maternal cousins.

stayed a night there before heading off to Penang.
there was a pre-arranged gathering
for ALL immediate paternal relatives (from all over) plus grandma
to have a family portrait photoshoot!

i realised that the last one we'd taken
was when i was in lower primary (?)
in this dress that i don't think was comfortable. =\

ANYWAY, the night just before the shoot,
the girls in my family panicked!
we heard that the cousins were gonna
have their hair and makeup professionally done
yet we were so unprepared for the shoot
that we didn't bring any thing
other than the clothes to wear. >.<

THANKFULLY to YiingMing JieJie
(our once-lost-but-now-found
super longtimenosee neighbour)
who arranged for her uncle to help
us look good for the portrait =]
also pitched in to beautify us girls!
(btw, the story of how YiingMing JieJie
found my family's a real interesting one,
you can ask me about it! haha =D)

well, the outcome of the professionals' work:
a (an artificially) prettified me
who felt like it was impossible to beautify further =]

i'm serious!
here're some photos to (try) prove that:

prettified, aye?
haha.

haha, shall end off here

with a photo of --

whee~ =D

yay yay yay =D

i met up with the girls!
linda melody larissa roxanne

we had a nice meal together
and had ICECREAM after.

mmM-MMMmmmmm~

hee, i love those babes =]

(if only they would faster send me the photos...)
hee =P

thanksgiving =]

well, i had a really nice closure to the past term.
i really thank God for how He's blessed me,
not only for the closeness within my family,
the 'conclusion' in relationship with the ^guy i like,
but mostly, for His tangible presence in my school life.

this past term was a challenging one.
the change in classes proved a great adjustment
yet there's a bright side to it.
i'm learning to look out more for my friends
who aren't in the same class as me anymore,
and at the same time treasure those
who're with me.

the two bunches of people i really love
are my farah-syams-justyn
and my denise-xiaoyuan-elisabeth-sylvia.
the former, i didn't realise how much
i actually love their company
until the class-split,
and the latter are my clique of girls
i must learn not to take for granted. =P

taking some old, some new modules
and having that gastronemic (if there's such a word)
presentation of lifespandevelopment module =P
required extremely good time management.
BUT HE SAW ME THROUGH! =D

mm, the greatest happifier came
on the last day of term.
i had this really important 60%-of-the-module
yet-didnt-set-aside-much-time-to-prepare-for-it test
and i spent the day before, attempting to cover
all eleven chapters until 4.30am of the test date.
(only to find out the next day
that the test covered only up till chapter 8 >.< ) well, so anyway, i woke up
after 2hrs of sleep, a pretty-groggy grouch. (haha)
and went to school in that state.
yet guess what?
despite the lack of rest and an urgency to leave school,
HE GRANTED ME MY VERY FIRST 'A'. =D
(i'm not promoting studying till late,
rest is really important.
but it's really rewarding and motivating
now that i have scored an A!)

well, i have to say that i am really blest
to have had a wonderful term of much learning and growing.
(i think i am more patient now?) haha
discovered this of myself during attachment =P

yups. haha, i look forward to enjoying the last of hols
before term starts full swing again.
and also to the repaying of great sleep debt. =)
