Meeting someone for the first time one on one is different from meeting someone for the first time in a group. Group dynamics? I find the former less daunting. No safety in numbers.
23rd dec. Christmas party over at jo's house. We each brought along our friends. To those whom i asked and couldn't turn up for one lousy reason or another, i missed having u there. To those who did come, thanks for making Christmas mean much more than just another date on the calender. =) To jo and belle :Kbox was a blast. Thanks to my "fantastic" vocals. lol.
Tml's my friend/ex-colleague's wedding. I was just looking for quotes to write in the wedding card and came across this cute poem! Share share:

I Wanna Be Yours
John Cooper Clarke (b. 1949)
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust,
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust,
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot,
You call the shots,
I wanna be yours.
I wanna be your raincoat
For those frequent rainy days,
I wanna be your dreamboat
When you want to sail away,
Let me be your teddy bear
Take me with you anywhere,
I don't care
I wanna be yours.
I wanna be your electric meter
I will not run out,
I wanna be the electric heater
You'll get cold without,
I wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion,
Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
that's how deep is my devotion.

I'm pissed and majorly upset.
Is it so freaking hard to say no? Or to remember what you said before?
An invitation extended requires an answer.. its courtesy. Is it so hard?
One more dashed hope. all thanks to u.

I just realised something! That i have one busy week left in singapore this year before i go on hol and come back again next year!
I still wanna do so many things. =(
I wanted to stay for new years day in singapore, but since i couldn't have it the way i wanted, i decided to take a trip.
No one asked me to stay anyway. haha.
Even my parents were willing.
I didn't even have to convince them. I just plain asked.
I must have grown up and mature somewhere along the line.
One week.
With them, without you.
Belle and JS, keep each other company while me and jo are overseas!! HAHA.

Today's dongzhi. =)
Have you had your tang yuan today?
I was so touched when my little cousin showed disappointment when i told her i was going home. So adorable! They always make me feel and act like a kid in their company. I'm now the wicked witch. hahahaha... And in another sense, a weight lifter, piggyback-ing them when they manage to crawl onto my back. I love having them on my lap then holding them real tight. Squeeze! Their little faces just urge me to kiss them silly. Rascals all of them! I can hardly wait for them to grow up then we can go on girly shopping trips. My aunt hopes that i'll take on the role of being an advisor to them, i'm just shaking my head wondering what woes would i be hearing and what sort of problems i would be hearing. In some ways, i feel more like an aunt to them then a elder cousin. I don't know how to explain. My little sunshines. =)

17 dec should be considered the best day of my holidays as of now. i totally LOVE everything about that day. =)
Woke up really early in the morning to go to ecp with my favourite girlfriends- belle and jo. Played volleyball there and had lots of mindless fun frolicking in the sun, waves, sunblock and laughter. Haha as usual, i got tanned even though the sun wasn't too strong. boos. Saw some interesting stuff there at ecp too. Army guys out to play in a ...group ("platoon, no that's very big right. erm, ,squad, sounds smaller.... oh COMPANY la. wa jo not bad huh!").. we also saw some who were suspiciously "chao geng-ing". hahahaha. We also saw this couple who looked as though they were oblivious to everthing and everyone around them, hanky panky-ing around in the waters. I think pictures are somewhere... Anyway playing volleyball really works up an appetide. It was only after a short while later before me and belle complained of growling stomaches... and guess wad? it wasn't even 12. The hk cafe wasn't even open for business yet. Nonetheless, we were so hungry and had such strong craving for some icy cold drinks that we were being physically drawn towards the restaurant.
I love being with my favourite girlfriends. HTHT till the cows come home. The conversation just flows so easily, despite the fact that we have different gangs of friends now, the names if not the person (in pictures) are familiar to each of us. There is no problem whatsoever confiding in them about everything. Not afraid of judgment and criticism. Hahaha our plans for the future. =) Our boyfriends, and husbands should and must be able to get along with each other. We can go for high tea and they can go and do whatever they do on guys day out. Belle! First to marry huh! xp
I can only imagine someone clenching his/her fist in jealousy. *winks*
After lunch we went over to jo's place to swim. what a bad choice! The water was freezing cold and the wind refuses to stop blowing. The 3 of us ended up huddling up together in one corner of the pool discussing where we should go for out summer vacation. What a hilarious picture we paint, thinking back. I want to go hk and they want to go somewhere cold. Clash of interests... lets see how it resolves, as it will always. "Cuan dao qiao tou zi ran zhi".
Photos are up on facebook. as usual. xp
Next i went to meet my girly class S501 at orchard taka for dinner at seoul gardens. =) Such an eventful day. The turnout wasn't half as bad. About 9/15 girls turned up and ms sim came along as well. That makes 10! Obviously the dinner table was full of laughter and teasing. I was so lucky that day to have marilyn as my mama, cooking for me to eat. Loraine as my big sister who also cooked food for me. Truth to be told, i probably would not have eaten anything if it were not for the 2 of them. Seoul garden was the kind provider of a gathering place, but for our class, the rent for a "function room" is pretty high.
Diverse personalities and characters make S501 the best class yet. We each have our own style. Simply put, we are a rojak in harmony. =)
Enjoyed myself so very much i had to take the last train AND last bus home. I got freaked out and scared. Its unexplainable. I wanted company and i had it. lucky me. =)
Alrights i'm done with this post. If not i'll just ramble on and on. =)
X'mas party up next. HEADACHE.

The horny cats are all gone now! Taken their loud noisy love-making somewhere else. Ever heard the sound of cats mating? sounds uncannily like babies crying.

Hello hello! Its 2 oclock! Here to say hello to my dreary blog and to you who is reading. HELLO!!
Its the hols and i've been rather tied up. My schedule book looks great and i've been meeting up with people as well as getting rest at home with family. Looks like a great balance to me and for that i'm glad.
One thing that i'm rather upset about is that i won't get to see my darling 501 tml!!!!! After all the months of prior planning, it seems as though tml's gathering would have to be cancelled or postponed due to certain unforseen circumstances. I wonder when will it be where we can have the whole class together again. Somehow as i am typing this, i am picturing all of us sitting around a steamboat. Hmm... must be the association with warmth and coziness. They're really a bunch of people that means much to me. The teachers too. =) Fond memories.
Remembering 501, it also reminds me that i have had great times in mj. Though i was there not exactly by choice and there were some people that were invariently part of mj too that i didn't feel like seeing, i must say that going to mj was a wise choice. It gave me the freedom and room to grow, in more ways than one. Being in a girls' class also taught me more about interacting with girls, in a way that is not conventional. There was much love and affection in 501, its so tangible you would have to lose all ur senses to miss out on it. Talking to mingjie made me realise that i am actually not unhappy that i didn't make it into tj. I donno how to explain that feeling except by putting it in the way i phrase that sentence. If i had gone to tj, i know my life would have turned out very differently. For one, i wouldn't have the chance to mess around in a lab. And also, because of so many ahs people in tj, i probably would not have made as many friends from such diverse backgrounds as i have. In life, there's really much give and take. Many things depend on how we adjust to the surroundings and adapt. How well you adapt will determine your rate of survival... Just something to think about..
On a separate note, i don't think i ever got over the disappointment of not having vj as my jc. To me, that place will always hold lots of special memories. Its a place where i have shed much tears, had the best orientation in my whole life, met the most amazing people, invested so much emotions, and of course... getting to know someone important to me. All within the span of 3 months. Its scary isn't it? That one can have such attachment to a place within such a short amount of time. Its a place of many firsts... I remember for months afterwards, everytime i pass by the building, i will see myself within the compound, seeing what i had once done in various corners of that place, everything dusted with a coat of gray. Sentimental value...It never hurts to look back on your journey and savour the thrills and exhilarations as well as the pain and the tears. Afterall, that's what makes us who we are today. I doubt i would be the same person typing this if not for every single experience i've had thus far. 19 years might seem trival... but is it really?
I've been thinking much lately, in bed. For some reason or another, sleep has been evading me for a while now. i wonder why. But in these times of silent, where i lie and hear the cars pass me by, i think and dream of much. Of the possible (if i work hard) and of the impossible (where nothing is within my control). Among all these, i hold dear memories. Must be the approaching of the new year striking some cord deep within me to look back on the almost-to-be-gone year. Am i the only one?
-i fell in love. i don't think i've un-fell or will unfelled soon.-

Joyce can't help but feels that she's one HUGE silly girl. Who always lets her heart rule over her mind.
She's always thinking "Kill me please!" when her thoughts start to wander.. it never helps, she still ends up putting down her pride and doing what she didn't want to admit to doing or saying. It take much out of her to confess to any sort of feelings, more than you might be able to imagine. It may seem simple to you, but she's always holding on to some sort of hope that there might be acceptance and returning sentiments. At the same time mentally clutching at her heart.
Said, she's a silly girl. One who expects much from herself and because of that expects a lot from those around her too. She gives, completely and expects that in return too. Often though, she's disappointed. Such is her fate.
If she loves you, you'll know. If she dislikes you, you'll know too. Its up to you which side of the scale you want to be on.
"Giving and not expecting anything in return". Its a cliche, one that is almost too often used, it cuts no ice with her anymore...
She's deep in thought.

Joyce wants to go to sentosa again!!!
no. i didn't wear a bikini. haha...
Had so much fun ytd with tab and her classmates. I didn't think i would enjoy it this much but it helped lots that they were also sociable people. coupled with my personality, the day was a blast! Glad that the weather held as well. =)
We played volleyball and amazingly my hands are not as bruised as i thought i would find them. Also my skin wasn't irritated by the sun. It was just such a wonderful cool day. The sun block played its role too. Though looking at my back in the mirror, i can see tab didn't spread the sun block out evenly. there's these 2 patches of red. Sunburn i presume. thank goodness it wasn't my shoulders!!
Siloso beach has so many hunks hanging around and pretty girls too... It looks like a uni hangout place. so many many people! I thought i saw some guys who look suspiciously like they just got out of army camp. the black rimmed glasses and the shaved heads. HAHA! I had fun people watching. admiring and comparing... alone with my thoughts of course. so embarrassing!
Ooh.. and i rmb this guy who keep helping me get the runaway balls. haha!!
Hmm i also made a discovery too. the cheerleading people have their practices in water!! How ingenious that is right! So when u "fall" u will land on water, which is surely not as painful as the impact of the fall on land! Heard some of them shrieking.. "No no no i'm scared!!" but got thrown in anyway. Well girls, that's what u signed up for! Grin and bear it. heh heh..
I'm off to watch gossip girl again! Found it on youtube! So happy. stupid megavideo don't let me watch the whole episode. now finally i found an alternative. YAY! bye...
You know you love me. xoxo. gossip girl.
