I read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said," Boy you might not understand, but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy din like me no one, but I loved your grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together
Get married in the first town we come to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we supposed to meet instead
i found this letter and this is what it said
*If you get there before I do, don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores all through, I don't know how long I'll be
But i'm not gonna let you down, Darling wait and see
But between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you..love me
I read those words just hours before my grandma passed aways
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to ray
I know I never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said those words to her
His eyes filled up with tears
* And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you... love me

wow sa! 6 out of 8 is quite fast what, considering that you didn't swim competitively before. i'm sure you got lots of gifts during vday right? and just contemplating whether to go steady yet right? your dance lessons sound so damn fun man!!! if only i can enjoy that kind of privellage too!! jazz, not ballet leh... sa, i hope you dont go australia, and get so caught up with life there that you forget us k??? how r the chores and life at home? i think our hotel stay was fabulous, even though we were at times quite desperate for shows to watch. i certaintly enjoyed myself very much. well, imagine eating yu sang at 2am in the morning, having the manager to have to come and tell us to shut up, making a complete mess out of the whole room (mx has e pics of the room), watching half naked people sun bathe at the poolside from our window. WOW! i had a lot of fun!! thanks aly!!! so sad that pam and cel couldn't join us. we definitely wouldn't have a problem finishing e yu sang. 5 ppl eating a tray of yu sang meant for 8-10 ppl. sigh. mx and i were the sole survivors, but we still had a bowl left, which turned soggy by morning. hows school life there sa???? i think its rather disappointing that we didn't watch vcds like the other time in york hotel. nvm, next time. we start school tmr, returning to all the madness. i feel like i'm living 2 lives, one for weekday, and the other for the weekend+ij friends. Therefore, i'm always apprehensive whenever sunday night approaches. i officially start pft training on tues and am definitely NOT looking forward to it.........

Happy Valentines’ day peeps!!

Sa, you have a web cam and a microphone right? Can we settle a date and time then I can go online to talk to you please… haven’t seen you in ages. Hope you like everything there and are getting used to it! We miss u loads.

Kel! Good to hear that your sis’s sedding went well! Remember to bring the disc of photos for me ya? And u moron! Never go out with us on the day results were released. Pangseh-er! You better come on Friday! Or else…

Anyway Pam and I cannot make up our minds on which jc to go… I think after entering sajc for 1st three months, I somehow or another have a lot of insecurities for the next 2 years. Give me another 2 years in a similar environment and I think I’ll seriously go nuts. And there’s the route to poly (which aly strongly objects) to take nursing. if i can get the scholarship, I seriously do not mind taking nursing… what I’m afraid of is once I enter the course, then I’ll realize that maybe nursing is not for me, by then it would be too bloody late already. But I’m sick of studying, doing all those subjects which are mostly irrelevant to nursing in future. It would be nice for the govt to pay me to study right?

I’ve not even got the scholarship yet… so maybe all that I’ve been rambling about makes no sense. But if I get it, it would mean 900 a month… then I can go buy clothes, get new wheels for my blades, perhaps change my ic and put my baptism name it, dont need to study my ass off too… but if I don’t go jc, I’ll be missing out quite a lot. They don’t have grad night in poly right? Or nafa tests? And maybe the boys there would be so ‘beng-ish’, I will never get to see the cute, dark and muscular j2 canoeists anymore. what's more, i would be totally clueless when you nj and cj people talk about the jc cirriculum. then it won't be the same anymore... :(

And I don’t know what He has in plan for me. I’ve been praying about it and I cant seem to hear the Lord. Sorry peeps, but please say a prayer for us ya? Thanks.

Have fun at your respective jcs/ poly/ high school/ whatever. Take care and keep the friendship going ya?

Sa...our results.

Top scorers...all with 9 points (in alphabetical order)
Ghislaine
Meixia
Pamela

The averagers:
Alycia - 12 points
Naomi - 12 points
Celine - 13 points
Kelynn - 16 points

Sa...could you add your name in wherever applicable. haha.

Darn. There's this sense of emptiness in me now. Numb- I feel like an empty box (or maybe a tofu) blank, emotionless, EMPTY. I don't know what's wrong with me. There's a in direction, a feeling of resignation and guilt.

I think I disappointed my parents a lot.

HOTEL STAY DURING HOLIDAYS?

I beg to differ. Aly mentioned - I think there's no HOLIDAYS in CJC's dictionary. Boohoo. I'm so upset. Even if we had, my mother would probably be so upset with me over my horrible results to let me stay over.

OH just let me whine. I hate the tension, the nervousness, suspense, the guessing...all just for a stupid piece of paper that determines the next two years of our lives.

At least you won't have to worry about it Sa.

Let's make arrangements after we get the results...

I hope I get to stay in CJ, did I mention, our choir's going to Europe at the end of the year!!
woohoo.

Take care everyone...Miss ya

hi!! ya, i agree with mx to have the hotel stay on the 4 days, thats if we even have 4 days... sa, whats happening with you ah?? why so long never blog, i thought that you should be the very free one? aly, pls la, we dont need the o level results to be released before we can go out together ok.... i'm so upset with you, i think of the rose gang at least once a day pk??? :( well, mx its good to hear that you're settling in now and finding something you enjoy so much. 60 girls? nj's canoeing is like short of girls la....

omg, i just took my height and weight on friday, during my first pe lesson. out of the only 8 girls in my class, i'm like the shortest and heaviest la! the 4 of us who are about the same height are definitely not around the same weight. everyone is below 50kg, even the girl who stands at 170cm tall! sigh.... it was also the first time of my life that i actually ran on lane 8 of the track! luckily it was only 2 rounds, the guys had to run 5 with timing... i'm really looking forward to the hotel stay... can we have vcds again pls??? pam, mx, and everyone who goes swimming, can we pls go swimming again somewhere sometime soon pls??? there's this guy in my class thats really VULGAR! sometimes i cannot take it la, there's also another one whos sick in the head.... what to do.... have you all got your pw groupings yet??? teh type of project that we must do is like mad la, its so unimaginable!!!!! can we have more pics on the blog pls???? my nephew kieran can sit up already, and today when my mom visited him, he had food all over his face!!!! so cute!!!! hows your angpao collection this year??? ok, gotta go for dinner, big hug and miss all loads!!! bye!

Hey! Good to hear that school has been great for you guys. Anyway I heard from my ct (form teacher) that all schools will be having at least a 4 day break after the O results come out. This holiday is designed such that when we go back to school, we will roughly know which school we have been posted to. How reliable is this I do not know, but if we have the holiday can we have our hotel outing on the 2nd and 3rd day? Must have potluck, go cycling at east coast, make the ring for sa’s bday and talk till we drop!

Anyway ever since I entered sajc, my opinion of cheena (sorry I don’t know how to spell it) people and Chiristians has changed drastically. Ever since I entered canoeing, the strength has been dropping significantly. We started with about 60 girls, and now we have only a pathetic 10. Through all the sufferings, we’ve bonded a lot. There’s this 4 girls who speak and guess what! They are actually quite normal.. haha.. Yesterday we were talking and laughing so much I nearly fell off the bench. Chinese people are not as Chinese and abnormal as I thought them to be. Christians are not that bad either, as long as they don’t persuade u to go to church and all that rubbish, I’m fine with it. They can be even nicer than Catholics!

RC peeps! This is the latest gossip I heard from Yvonne (cedar commander), Amdice, remember her? The girl who went for Nat camp with me, the one mich was complaining about, has skipped one year of school, this year, to concentrate on Red Cross.

Sa>> How’s school so far? Have you made a lot of friends? How about your brother? Can he walk? Take care ya? God bless u. BIG hug

Kel>> so which poly and course you planning to go ah? Take care and have fun working at your dad’s shop!

it has been such a looooonnnggg time since i last posted an entry here. I hope everyone is doing fine? Anyway i so miss the rose gang. missing it so much. I am looking forward to getting o levels results.. you know why!?! cause it gives us a chance to finally go out together after soo long.
As we go about in our jc, college work, i must really confess, the rose gang hardly come into my mind. Not like i forgot about it, i am just so tired with all the stuff that's going on. I'd rather not think about it. I miss going out with the rosegang with the people of the same sex, to just chat and laugh again. even that we are unable to do. There always seem to be a lack of topics to talk about.

Well a test of friednship perhaps? stay strong. love rg loads. more than anything.


OH YAH CAN EVRY ONE TELL ME WHICH WEEKEND THEY ARE FREE BEFORE FEBUARY ENDS SO THAT I CAN BOOK THE HOTEL. POST IT HERE THANKS

Anyway, when's the hotel stay? I wanna go!!
