Today’s meeting wasn’t emo at all. In fact, everyone was joking around. See, without the effects of candles and Lester’s talk, it wouldn’t be emo at all. Lianyi and emo wasn’t able to make it so only Alan, Mr Gana, Addie, Bryan, Dennis, Wilfred and I were there. Today’s agenda was different, we went through the 3 weeks goals first then had dinner( barbecued chicken wings& satay) then the long awaited video. Seeing the video for the 2nd time, wasn’t as bad as the first time, I was able to pay attention to the songs for one thing and really look at the captions for another thing. But, it’s still as mesmerizing as the first time, it’s still amazing how almost everything we feel inside there, can be put inside the video. And, like almost all our moments are inside there. Haha. Almost cos there wasn’t the milo/teh peng picture there. =D. Anyway, it was wonderful la, the video was addictive(still is), dinner(still as chaotic) and catching up(well, almost?) was good. I couldn’t ask for a better Friday night. After that, went off to meet Da and Jie to eat dinner, had a pretty nice time crapping with them, you know, after not seeing them for ages. The taxi ride back was the one that spoil the whole evening, the uncle keep on commenting, talking and asking me questions and even ask whether I am drunk. I was like wth la! I am 17 for god sake! I do not drink!! Idiot taxi driver!! He ruined my night!
Even though the 2 hours went by in a flash, how should I put it, this 2 hours is rare for us la. To spend that much time together, it’s really rare now. It’s like, I got to treasure it. Cos, in school, only if I get a chance to bump into them then do we talk(other than Dennis la). Peace out XD

DREAMS 5'07:how simply addictive.
June camp'05. those were the times?haha.
My first HQ camp, camp FLAG.
learnt quite abit here.
12:38 AM
DREAMS 5 had ended, with it, I also end my camping expeditions- for secondary school of course. 5 years of camping, had been lots of fun and quite crazy la. Here are the summary for the camps, the insane ones, the boring ones and the outright unforgettable ones.
Sec 1- Sec 1 camp
*I pon guides camp that year, went back to Jakarta. I wish I could have gone to that camp!
Sec 2-Sec 2 camp at the scout’s campsite (super fun XD hint! hint! Nature ramble =D)
Mawai camp (best bed for camp that I had, seriously!)
*for guides camp, ditto above. Yeah, I was really stupid to miss those camps in sec 1 and 2,right?
Sec 3- Sec 3 leadership camp(Hands down, the most boring camp!)
Guides training camp in June(unforgettable! Especially for my batch =D)
Camp FLAG!!(Guides HQ camp, went by in a flash! I remember eating a lot. HAHA)
*busy camp year…LOL.
Sec 4-Guides camp(1st camp that we organized! Super proud! That’s the reason why I love MFGG committee 05/06!! <3333)
Sec 5-Guides camp( Oh ya…memorable..in a different way.)
DREAMS 5 Preparation camp(Another unforgettable one.*grin*)
Lastly, DREAMS 5 itself(no words can describe this. I am simply speechless.)
With this…I leave you guys..with the pictures. Surprising, I only got the unforgettable ones.

1:00 AM
The emotional roller coaster ride, may end next week. What with the thing going on between the girls in class, the prom issues that is like the HOT topic in class (the usual of who is going with who) and well, the final DREAMS 5 meeting on Friday which I hope all 12 of us can go(and turn up). Another thing, the assembly talk next Tuesday, which I think they will do the DREAMS 5 talk, FINALLY! No idea when we will get the certs and the cds though. But I’m still alive. But nursing a cold though. Haha.
Leaders, if anyone of you is reading this, can all 12 of us go on Friday? Please? Instead of those who didn’t go for the last one. You know, in order to make it more special and to create waterwork(which didn’t happen the last time). Also, we came to DREAMS 5 as a group of 12, so, shouldn’t we come out of it as a group of 12 as well? HAHA.But I really want to go again, to see that video again and to bid the final farewell to DREAMS 5. Somehow, the last one, didn’t feel complete. Andreas, if you are free, can go on Friday, please? Like that, we can have our “chatting” session again, after more than a month. Hehe, I am looking forward to it XD
The guides webby is pretty dead but looking through the past comments…ahh…I am speechless. The comments from camp, the juniors’ thank you tags, the juniors’ reassurance that they will make it as a team, ex-seniors’ comments and everybody’s declaration that they love guides. It touched my heart again. Also, it made me realize how far we had come as crew/team. Lol. Now, all we need to do is revive the website. =D
Today, we didn’t have history and ss lesson and supp lesson cos of the MOE thing, they are interviewing like a lot of people including teachers for the next 3 days. So, we may not have some lessons. Anyway, I got a big shock during physics today, for the first time, I cleared my graph during the “first try” and we actually got FREE TIME!! That never happened before!!! OMG!! When he said that, the words didn’t register in my brain cos I was in a state of complete shock. Hahaha. Btw, guys, if u guys go to the 2nd physics lab, be sure to look at the poster behind, the “Explore.Dream. Discover”. It’s nice. Another shock, cos I was near the KBCC Mac today after school and guess who I saw? The guy we saw at PBP. You know the one who also goes to school in Singapore and went back for holiday? And the guy we saw while sotong fishing? Another thing…. Andreas’s lame video. Very lame but brings back memories. And brought a lot of laughter along with it. Bryan aka Gatsby boy as the main lead…not bad.HAHA.

1:51 AM
I realized I have been doing a lot of
“Do you remember??” with people. Started off with Pris about my dearest MCS then today during lunch, Kim Geok, Wei Ling, Hui Ting and I were reminiscing about our sec 1 and 2 days. You know the likes of old campus (both 1 and 2), the food (C2 delicious noodles for eg), teachers whom taught us and left the school already and how the old schools used to look like. I think we even remembered where is where. I really miss campus 1 and 2. Oh man, I think the next reminiscing session I will have will be with my fellow dreamers. We all still got lots to talk about man. Our stories , I think is far from finished. In fact, there are new stories waiting to be told. All these is making me wish I can turn back the clock.
HAHA. My Nov/Dec holiday will be jam-packed, so, people, must book me early if you guys wanna go out. =D . Okay, kidding. We will have to see then. But I’ve got some stuff in mind. Like prom, farewell, going back jkt maybe? And the chalet.
Okay. I really want to know what you guys are thinking, cos I can act like nothing had happened during these 4 months even if it is gonna to kill me. Do you guys still wanna talk about it? You know, in school and all or do we talk about it only during dreams related events? I seriously don’t want to feel like the last 4 months had been some kinda fake or something cos it hasn’t. I wish during the prep camp or during the expedition, they would have told us how to interact with each other after dreams 5 or at least tell us their experiences. I mean, if it hasn’t been for dreams 5, I wouldn’t have gotten to know you guys well or know you guys at all. And it’s funny like that. Before April, we were strangers, barely knowing each other and in the last 4 months, well, we went through some dramatic, amazing, priceless experiences together. Now that is over, what do we do? Shall we move on and pretend nothing happened? We only have DREAMS 5 in common, after all, right? The reason I haven’t been talking much to any of you in school (at most, it’s an “hi” or “bye” since we all are very busy) is that I am afraid I will start talking about dreams yet again to you guys and maybe you guys don’t wanna talk about it and the moment I see anyone of you, the memories will all come flooding back. Also, it’s abit weird la, talking about dreams in front of other people. And I can’t trust myself to take off the “mask”, at least for the time being. Okay, I also admit, how do I find that lost connection with you guys again? Another thing, I have no idea how big the impact is on each person, how much it had changed their lives. I think we have an unexplainable bond, one that is very strange, one that was built on teamwork, hardships, PICs, tons of lame jokes and gossip sessions. Man! Do I treasure all of that! Is it strong enough to pull through say, 10 years after dreams 5? Our friendships i mean. I have no idea. I am not gonna to ask much of you guys as in it’s okay if you guys don’t wanna talk , cos I don’t wanna lose you guys, it will break my heart. Hmm.. I sound insecure do I? You guys had been wonderful and great, yeah, each and every one of you guys. With this, my emo paragraph is done. On the lighter note, Andreas, Addie and Lianyi, reply my (love) letters!! XD but I shouldn’t rush you guys. Btw, it had been nice, yesterday night. HAHA. I was sms-ing throughout tution but it was worth it.
I remember, yesterday’s assembly I think. They were doing some poem stuff and the main theme was: the ties that bind. In the last poem, they mentioned something about candles, flame and reunite. I was thinking…how did they know?!?
This is the post where Putri pours her heart out and showing what a sentimental person she is..haha..hope you guys don’t mind. XD

2:02 AM
The secret prayer room, the “hill”, tile paintings, p5 camp at the MOE campsite, Friday’s laksa,bishan stadium and the sorts. ; )I am amazed between us, we are still able to remember so many things. So, now, besides the DREAMS 5 chalet in December and some guides then, I have teacher’s day to look forward to. Will be meeting Pris at MCS after school, so, must chiong from school then.
There will be
NO school on Monday (in other words, no PE =D), but we have this KB Family day aka Project Cool Running on Sunday. We will need to be in school by 7:15am! To wake up so early on a Sunday* Faint*, it’s practically a crime. But thank god, for the pouch, cos they don’t allow us to bring bag on that day..haha…my DREAMS 5 pouch is coming into handy quite often.
I feel that it’s a blessing in disguise that none of my close friends wanted to come along with me to DREAMS 5,if they did, my guess would be that I would be sticking with them most of the time. It will be like kinda missing the whole point of it, isn’t it? You know, to mix around, get to know people you don’t normally mix with, in short, do things that you don’t normally do. Even though the good side would be I will have someone who understands what I am laughing at out of the blue. But the pros outweigh the cons. If they came, I think my experience will be somewhat different? Not that I want to offend you guys.
I feel my write-up…don’t do DREAMS 5 justice, the feeling can’t be convey over, I couldn’t find the words to write no matter how much I think. HAHA. I also realize that Addie’s and mine write-ups don’t say anything about the injections. LOL. Let it be a “Let them experience it for themselves” thing for future dreamers. An excerpt from a chicken soup for the soul story:
“I could go on forever about our experiences, and yet there would be no way to convey to you exactly how we felt”. Can I say,
HOW TRUE!!! Yew Choon told us during the(emo) LAST meeting that we will only see the changes from DREAMS 5,say about 2-3 years time because we will not realize that we change(for the better, of course) till ONE DAY. Like Mr Firefighter, Melvin. And that’s what keeps the DREAMS series going. Oh ya, another thing, I realize that
I knew about DREAMS in SEC 3!! I just didn’t look carefully enough. Because I went the last braddell-westlake scouts campfire and they compiled everything they did in the program booklet and inside, there was DREAMS 1-4. Somehow or another, I got hold of 2 of the booklet and kept them. Haha. Funny, isn’t it? Why I kept the booklets.
Lol. Got this particular phrase from a BSB song,
“sometimes I wish I could turn back time, impossible as it may seem”.
I ain’t gonna to ask for much, cos I don’t want to lose everything.

11:30 PM
my to-do list before the emo closing ceromony last fri.
LOL.hardworking eh?
my sis's class motivational stuff.pretty cool, ya?
I’m happy!! Now I FINALLY know why. It’s back to the fate thing I was talking about last time. This time round, it has something to do with Fred, my dear Poiseiden leader. Turns out that an old friend of mine, Pris from MCS was his classmate for 4 years straight! HAHA. It’s that coincidental! Of course, we are gonna ambush and shock him together. Lol. It makes me feel(and sound) like a lil kid again, doing this kinda thing, but it’s fun !!And, she, like my dear Andreas dedicated one paragraph to me, soo sweet!!! I miss MCS too, the way it used to be, back in the Schoonbeck days (LOL, we were fortunate enough to be her last batch, but you know what I mean).T he wonders of fate. I guess that why Fred was in Poisaiden. Mystery 2 solved. HAHA. I don’t know, but it feels like I did lots of socializing back then. Did I ? Oh ya, going back this year?
I came across an old friend today, mr Carpe Diem . Carpe Diem means Seize the day. While I was reading a chicken soup for the soul story this morning, I came across this one line. The dynamics of making any relationship work: Just keep putting you love out there aka putting your heart on the line. And give love without requiring anything in return. I think that one need to have a huge amount of courage to do just that. My courage, these few days, more often than not, failed me. I just can’t trust myself to say the right things. Where I got the courage to do DREAMS 5, I am not really sure, the amount of courage then just came in large amounts from god knows where. I wish I know where to find it so that I can use it now.
Today’s weather was beautiful. Felt exactly like PBP on the 8th day. I was thinking about it during recess, when it was raining cats and dogs and it made me think of the time when the sky hated Poiseiden and every time we wanted to paint the court, it will start raining and our sekupang pier adventure. Also, after recess, history lesson, to be more specific. Cos we went to the I&E room and Mrs Selva had this mahjong paper on each table with a few markers on top on it to ask each group to do something on the Cultural Revolution (causes etc) then present it, my mind immediately went back to the prep camp where we were asked by Alan to write down what we expect of the (teachers, students etc)when we arrive at PBP and of cos, PIC. Then later at lunch, when JM, CY and I ordered drinks at the nearby coffee shop and JM and I ordered Milo peng and CY, teh peng. I wanted to take a picture of it but no camera. HAHA. All these incidents, I was not like I wanted them to happen, they just did. Been telling my mind to stop for a couple of days but…. Nothing happen. Still the same. The whys? How? Why them? are still running through my mind.
The write-ups are finally finished, mine’s and Addie’s. Very happy about this too, I just hope Lester can open my e-mail and hope that he doesn’t cut too much stuff. I want to see the video again. Hehe. As I said, it’s really touching complete with the captions. The emo spell is more or less gone, except whenever I pass by that room. LOL. Well, it’s THAT room, can’t be helped. =D

DREAMS 5: the journey with you by my side
It’s from the video, the first slide, this phrase.
I don’t think I can stop talking, writing and thinking about DREAMS 5. I’m a sentimental la, at least according to shimama.
Even though those 9 days…seemed like a lifetime ago. So near yet so far. I guess you have to constantly talk about it to make it feel…real? You know, to relieve those memories? Keep it alive and all that. Come to think of it, tomorrow, it will officially be one month since the expedition ended. How slow time seems to pass by, till we got to the LAST meeting. I am rewriting my write-up guys, since I don’t want it to be more on facts rather than the feelings. I want it to be the other way around! Even though it’s just been one month, keeping the memory alive ain’t easy.
Chinese listening(why do I keep saying oral?) today, was quite tricky but okay. Tia’s definition of it was that, one answer give u in full details and the other give you the overview so it’s very hard to guess which one they want. HAHA.I fell asleep when symphony FM was playing their classical songs, so did the rest of Singapore.haha. My sis said she got the answers from her tution friend and I’ve got all correct. Yay!! What I did at recess today, I shall never do it again cos maybe I could feel the awkwardness..yeah. Best stick to morning assembly and msn. Ms Balan was nice today, she let us sleep for 1 period! And thank god for that, Shimama’s and my head were practically glued to the table. Awakenings after the CE period in the library! Touching!
CE was JC talk, which was quite interesting, NYJC came and gave a talk about JC and everything of it. Their leadership programmes are very interesting, especially the part about doing CIP overseas (hint! Hint! DREAMS 5!) which was incredibly tempting and they show pictures of them taking pictures with the kids, their construction work which made me think of DREAMS 5. But I have to get 11 points to get in! OMG!
I can’t wait for Chinhow’s and Lianyi’s presentation, which will be in late July/early August, I want to see everyone’s reaction cos I think virtually everyone forgot about DREAMS 5,not surprising, since the last talk about it was in April. And, I hope, we will get the same praise as the people who did the musical. Haha. Oh ya, the video cd and the cert too.

one milo and teh peng coming up! XD
If you look carefully behind..you can see they are making the cement.
There's Fred, Lion el and emo shoveling the water out.
Miao,Siong hui and me smoothing the cement(It takes skills!-Miao).
Addie,Wilfred and the guy who is helping us, making the cement.
Our pride,joy and love!We worked soo hard for it! It was worth it, making our mark next to the badminton court.
Introducing my tag, which I had to wear to teaching and dancing =DPretty proud of it.haha.

12:26 AM
The LAST DREAMS 5 meeting just ended, about an hour ago. I wanna write everything while they are still fresh in my mind.
Choosing the DREAMS 5 meeting over the musical, was a super duper good choice. I will tell ya guys each and every single detail of the meeting, as much as I can remember.
Today was a very hectic day. I didn’t have the mood to study after recess today because I was soo tired. Why, you may ask? I will elaborate on that later. During the 3 periods of lit, we watched a movie(which we haven’t finished) called awakenings, which is closely related to one of our lit stories that we need to study, flowers for Algernon. Maths, was as usual la, halfway through the lesson, everything became alien to me. Chem, was sleeping throughout, Mr Ong didn’t come so they continued watching the movie, while I slept.
After school, rushed back home, do all the stuff and left at around 3 to go to see the musical(it was more of a dance show then a musical la) at The Arts House. Funny thing was that I got lost along the way, and my batch planned a route which included The Arts House for the amazing race. Super malu la. Musical, not really what I expected, shouldn’t have bought the tickets cos didn’t understand anything at all, I was also sms-ing Miao throughout the whole musical. Rushed back home to change(cos Miao told me that we must wear school u for the meeting) and take the cupcakes. Was too tired and the cupcakes were heavy so I cab to school. =D. Thank god I reached there early.
First off, Pizza disaster, or so Lester though, because he though there weren’t enough pizzas. So, he went to order another 4. We ate our dinner then brought our barang barang to the conference room and officially started the meeting. We read through and reflected on our 3 weeks letter and what happened during these 3 weeks. And then we ate again, this time round it was the 4 pizzas that Lester ordered and my cupcakes of course along with Bryan’s drinks. We then reflected on our personal goals(the one we did in bishan park).Oh ya, they also had a certificate giving ceremony, for the leaders. XD. We were informed that we will be receiving it soon, from Mrs Lim.After that, they darkened the room and Lester started talking and asked us to look at the BIG candle which they lit in the middle of the table while he talked. Also, on the screen, there was the picture which is on my msn and the words: “ DREAMS 5, my journey with you by my side.” While Lester talked, I think I almost cried cos some of the stuff he said, the person that I wanted to say it to, wasn’t there. I had to make do with the picture on the screen. He said:" in this expedition, who had touched you the most?who had come to your rescue when you were hurt or sick?Who had gone out of their way to be friends with you?". I think you know who you are la, i guess. Then, they showed us a video, compiling all our moments inside, from Lester’s point of view. It was soo touching, kay? Especially the captions. From us doing our bishan park presentation-prep camp-us doing construction work-teaching-cooking. I think I will get a copy of the cd…soon. Then Lester lit his small candle from the big candle, we passed on the flame and the leaders gave us their last thoughts, because, once the flames are extinguished, DREAMS 5, is officially over and I read the poem(haha..not really a good presentation) and after our own self-timed reflection, we were asked to extinguish the flame and keep the candle. I wish Dennis, emo, Wilfred, Lianyi and Addie could be there, it will make the LAST meeting, even more special becos all of us are there, but I am not blaming you guys la cos you guys got your reasons. Dennis came late, rushed here after the musical. This guy constantly surprise me man. I didn’t expect him to do that la.
Oh ya, I almost forgot. I slept late yesterday night was because I was writing Andreas’s letter la. Soo sorry, I couldn’t write letters for everyone because I had no time la. Hehe, I had to narrow it down to 5 people. But you guys are special too…my fellow dreamers.
Btw, anyone know when is Chinhow’s and Lianyi’s DREAMS 5 presentation to the school??? Next week? Or the week after that? Cos I wanna see!!!! Pon-ing lunch is the least of my problems for Tuesday.
DREAMS 5 will always be in my heart.
our candle will always shine brightly, in our hearts.

12:02 AM
I admit defeat. I tried, really, I did but to no avail.
I just can’t stop thinking about DREAMS 5 and the people who went with me.
There a reason for everything. I think that all of us were fated to meet. How else can I explain that the class who shared the physics lab with mine yesterday, was none other than 4A? And then today, Bryan, Sionghui, Chinhow, Mingxuan, Dennis and I had the same free period. Okay, I think I am talking rubbish. What’s makes it a lot harder was that “Singapore Town” keep on blaring over the loudspeakers every morning and the memories will automatically come flooding back. You know our performances all that.
We are all back to our usual routines of life but I think we are also still daydreaming about DREAMS. Evidence: Our msn pictures and our msn nicknames. We have not really touched reality yet and not fully adjusted to our usual routine yet. It’s strange, the adjustment. From talking 24/7 for 9 days straight and then suddenly it just stop. If I say it didn’t hurt at all, I am telling a lie. At school, it wasn’t like in PBP, everyone is busy with school among all the other things. I think all of us knew it would come to a situation like this, sooner or later but we have absolutely no idea how to go about solving it. Or maybe I just didn’t have the courage to take that first step.
Well, tomorrow’s the meeting. It’s finally here. Our closure. Let’s make it an extra special one.
I hope that I wouldn’t cry.
ADDIE!! Get well soon!!!
Haha, according to Andreas, I finally grew up. Well, I kinda though I grew up when I entered the committee. Haha, but I think I am always young, in her eyes. Since she dedicated a big part of her post to me, I shall do the same. Andreas had definitely been a big influence in my life, from the time I entered MF till now. When my batch stepped up, she was our main pillar of support, because without her, I don’t think I would even know what COH is and my batch wouldn’t have been that successful with her help and guidance. Hell, without her, my batch would have been like a broken glass, not united at all. Thank god for the June 2005 camp. I can tell ya guys something though, she is my main inspiration for me wanting to join YA. Since she is gonna to be a guider next year, someone has to take over the YA position right? And, why not gain some experience in chairing a COH while I am at it? Since I already went through like what…20+ of it.Haha. I found out about DREAMS 5 through her blog too. She’s someone who also shares the same passion as me and it helps la. Cos she also does crazy things like me so I have a companion. I will concentrate on my studies. So..Andreas..next month’s COH onwards..please take over..make them go through a 4 hours one. HAHA. I am evil. The rest..haha..Andreas..you will find out tomorrow/later today at the meeting.

Cherish The Moment
Cherish the Moment
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Ooh, baby, cherish the moment
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la!
You, you know the kind
That finger pointing criticize
They can see, or read the sign
That life is really bigger than you and I
But if time, all time
We realize
We're gonna find
That we should all
Cherish the moment
Live for today
We won't get lost
Just to lose your way
We all love the sun
But we still need the rain
So what good is it to run away
It don't change a thing
In this world
There's a flow
You can feel it if you just let go
And if you want
To feel your heart
It will happen if you just don't try so hard
Break it down
Hear the sound
In your soul
Let it surround
All love and we should just
Cherish the moment
Live for today
We won't get lost
Just to lose your way
We all love the sun
But we still need the rain
So what good is it to run away
It don't change a thing
There's only so much time
So why not enjoy it
Why not enjoy the ride, the ride!
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la la
Ooh, baby, cherish the moment
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la la la la!
Cherish the moment
Live for today
We won't get lost
Just to lose your way
We all love the sun
But we still need the rain
So what good is it to run away
It don't change a thing
Cherish the moment
Live for today
We won't get lost
Just to lose your way
We all love the sun
But we still need the rain
So what good is it to run away
It don't change a thing.
i love this song! *grin*

REVIVIAL OF THE COH!!!!
You read correctly. COH had been collecting dust for the past year and now it’s back. FYI: COH-Court-Of-Honor. I shall start from the beginning la. I was super jumpy today, couldn’t even eat recess, maybe it’s because of COH bah and also Chinese oral. Btw, Kamini got angry with me, cos I wouldn’t be going for the 8pm show and wouldn’t be watching HP with them.
Chinese oral, it wasn’t good, the reading part. The conversation was still okay la cos it was about parents entrusting the maids/childcare center to take care of their children while they work. Good points and bad points basically la. Haha..at least it was easier then my sis’s .
After oral, went down to see the guides. Haha, I think they see me very pressurize so I went to call that Edith (who was late, as usual). Guides ended almost on time. Then COH begin! It was super funny la. I didn’t realize our stuff for them, was so overwhelming. Haha, especially Lianyi. She has to do the contact list, type out the minutes etc. Imagine this: a 4 hours meeting, we manage to squeeze it into 1 hour.LOL. cos these people, they a lot of stuff also “later”. I am amazed my batch was able to come up with those things during the meeting, really. I have the feeling it was the sweets that Andreas provided.haha.The agenda and the materials that I used were from my old COH, which happened eons ago at the GGS headquarters. I think it was an eye-opener for them, in a way. Except, next time, it needs to happen on a Saturday where they have no disturbance. Edith was there also and she also gave them advice(haha..edith..done!!!)
After COH, I rushed all the way to the tution, only to find out that the teacher is sick so class is cancelled for today. Damn it! Make me waste my money.
My mum actually called Gana, I don’t know the heck why. I also don’t know why she always wants to take away the stuff that important to me. ALWAYS. Not the first time,okay? If not, why do you think, I joined Guides? Cos she have NOTHING to do with it, unlike my ballet last time, where she had everything to do with it. Like for the fact that my ballet teacher was her ex-ballet classmate. It still gives me nightmares. My interests are like a world apart from hers and I don’t think she can accept that. For the fact, my world too, it’s not as elite as hers. Argh!!!!! It’s killing me, damn it! I want to be left alone to do my own stuff and to live my life, at last.
Friday, NO SUPP class!! Yay!!!! Friday also means musical (afternoon) and the meeting at night. The 1 hour between the musical and the meeting will be very rush because will need to go to collect the cupcakes then go back to school. I have no life la, Friday is like my most exciting day so far.
2 down. 3 to go.

We baked cupcakes today! Pictures will be up….soon or once they are done.
We baked plain ones, with choco sprinkles, mix of choco and rainbow sprinkles and rainbow sprinkles. It’s delicious. Okay, I sound like a 6 yrs old kid. LOL.
Warning: will be high on sugar.
I cut my hair today so it’s quite short now, like a bop. And Tiara says my other glasses go well with the hair so you guys will see a new me tomorrow. =D. DON’T LAUGH. Yesterday night, Fran,Tia,Mum and me went to watch Transformers at Shaw, cos Tia and Mum haven’t watched it yet. We watched to super late show, at 11pm and it ended at around 1:20am.

How true. But have you ever come across a situation where you found it but you keep a secret so that people can’t take it away from you that easily? In a way, you are protecting it, with all your life.
The write-up is getting quite hard to write, no, I know what I want to say but it’s difficult finding the right words for the feelings that I wanna describe. Between fellow dreamers, I don’t need to say much and they will understand because they feel the same way, I guess. Anyway, I’ve decided to do something to thank them for everything. =D.HAHA.
And.. I want to ask them something..just one simple question.
Do you still miss DREAMS 5?

I just did the most stupid thing on earth.
I realize that musical night, the night which I am going on,
Is on the same night as DREAMS 5 meeting!!!!!!!!
How am I suppose to chose between the 2 of them? Both are like….the last one.
Lianyi will not be going for the meeting cos she wanna go watch the musical,
Not sure about the rest. But, she and chinhow need to do the presentation.
It’s all in 1 big mess.
And….I just realized it today and already sms-ed to Frederick that I can come to the meeting.
And I will most probably go to the meeting, shall I exchange the tickets?
But…Musical or the LAST DREAMS 5 meeting?
Okay. GOOD NEWS!! REALLY GOOD NEWS!!
MF COMMITTEE 07/08
Peck hui is our new CL! =D. Our efforts had not been in vain, after all.
Cai Er is our new ACL =D
Lianyi is our new secretary cum PL.
Aishah is our new OIC for testwork cum PL.
Jiayi is our new Commander cum PL.
Hehe..sorry..the rest forgot la.
English supp lesson sucks. I wanna be with my shimama. And for the first time, I find English damn it hard. We did vocab today while I heard the rest did summary. And, I don’t really have friends there, DK pengseh me today…stupid guy.Turns out he went to MB's class! wah! And he say, if he manage to change to her class, he will tell me, then i can change to shiyama's class and be with her! yahoo! On the other hand, my class guys are following Bryan, they have been singing the Gatsby song for the past 2 days, with modifications of their own added in, of course.
12:38 AM
ROD’s tomorrow. Time just seemed to fly by, it just seem that yesterday these guys stepped into guides. But, I shouldn’t be writing this type of entry, it’s their turn.
Tomorrow, will be the day, of “FINALLY! I stepped down!” but also the start of worrying, for the new batch and what will guides be, under their leadership. It’s scary, in more ways than one. On one hand, you are scared that everything you did for the past year will be in vain (we shall find out in next year’s thinking day, shall we?) on the other hand, you just want your juniors to FINALLY know how you feel and for them to understand the cause of your actions.
Sometimes, we, as juniors were ignorant too. And more often than not, we don’t get a chance to thank our seniors who had pushed us hard for our own good and only realize it years later when we become a senior ourselves. My batch should know it very well, sec 2? Haha. We were rash and juniors, if you don’t know the story, let’s say that you guys almost lost us (yes, all 20+ of us). But I guess that year also forced us to be more united?
This year’s batch, who are handing over the baton, what shall I say….
They have capable people inside, definitely but I felt they weren’t as lucky to get the mentoring as I did. If they did, I think the end result may have been very different.
Almost the same story, just the other way round, March camp proved it. As complicated as ours, I guess so? Tight is the word.
I will miss them. I must be insane saying this…but ya.
Anyway, today, my class went insane, zi high. Especially during chem practical lesson , Mr Ong even says that we didn’t take our medicine, yes, quite true. Shaun was like singing this song during chem practical, “Pop goes my heart” and when he got to the “pop” part, he blew into the test-tube. Because we were testing for anions today mah, then there was this test for iodide which turned the solution into a yellow ppt. When DK got to that experiment, he was like “Wow, look, Mr Ong, soo nice!” slow guy…haha. Shiyama and I got so bored during maths(last period of the day) that we sang NDP songs, Blue songs, JT songs, Vitamin C’s Friends Forever and DCOM songs. Except…we only know the chorus to most of the songs. We had 3 periods of physics today (technically, only 1 since our FT didn’t come so….. took over), it was pure torture and we took 2 hours to do a 45 mins SBQ history paper during supp class. Pei Fu 4A man, 4 pages in 45mins…haha.
PROM!PROM!PROM! This year, it will be either at Marina Mandarin Hotel for $80 or Trader’s Hotel for $65, of cos, I chose Marina Mandarin la, more posh and chic you know and its prom!
DREAMS 5 meeting postponed to next Friday, 6:30pm. There will be 1 slot where we decide what we get to do. We’ve got to think up of something, anything will do, as long it fills up the slot. I don’t want to go home so early. And, we’ve got to do something memorable, cos, I don’t know when we will be doing this again. Singing session. Crapping session. Photo taking session. Games session? PIC session? HAHA.On Wednesday, I think, they were playing the NDP songs over the loudspeaker before school started and there were the usual songs and when they got to “Singapore town” , I almost cried, thank god they stopped it halfway.

After my really emo post, I shall tell you the highlights of yesterday’s event. I met Jie at her house at around 3:30pm and we stone(yes, collect dust) around for awhile. I don’t know how Jie gets her energy from cos she had fever yesterday but she somehow managed to climb out of bed and go with me to play arcade at AMK hub till around 5. We were suppose to meet our seniors at AMK hub Fish&Co at 5, but alas! Andreas didn’t turn up till 6ish? And we looked stupid la, imagine this, 2 people sitting at the table for 8 for about 30mins+ without ordering anything. And there was a long queue of people outside waiting to get a table, I can swear, they wanted to murder Jie and me alive(for stealing their tables?).
Anw, Andreas came, we ordered seafood platter for 2 set meal,1 fried calarmari, 1 cappuccino and 1 choco junkie. And, we saw hx and Andrew(who just finished their tea break at Fish&Co.haha)Talked abit and not long afterwards, Yan Xiang, Yishan and Quiyan came, Qing came awhile later. Then the party officially started. Now, I know where we get our lame-ness from. =D . The seniors started telling stories and Andreas and I talk abit about Dreams 5. We talked more then we ate, seriously, that’s why we couldn’t finish the food. Regina and Dishan came at around 6 and at that same time, Yan Xiang they all went to jalan jalan. We came out of the restaurant at around 7:15+ I think. While waiting for the bus, the seniors started getting…hmm..some ideas for the future guides tee, as in, where to write the promise. Haha, we were damn high la, even before we got to the campfire. In the bus, there was more stories.
So, by the time we reached St.Gabs, it was like 8? St.Gabs campfire was seriously nice and cool la. A perfectly high atmosphere anyone could have hoped for. But I dunno la, somehow, I wasn’t interested so I went to watch Melvin, Xiangjie, Lionel, Lester and Bong play some water bottle game. Then walk around with Lianyi and Jiayi and then on my own. I could only find a lonesome star shining that night. The difference. Okay, we had a photo taking session at the end of it all and Andrew was snapping away, even when we were all not ready. Reached home, at around 11? Somehow, something doesn’t feel right somewhere on that night, but I can’t put my finger on where it is. As I told you before, it’s not friendship. Bugger! Shall not think about it.
Next Fri’s ROD, finally.but I will not be going since frankly, I already had my turn.
Next Sat is the final DREAMS 5 meeting, I hope it will be super long, from morning till late afternoon. I hate separation. I want to linger there, a lil bit longer. It’s good night and not good bye. I want it to come faster but I dread the day it happens.
I am going to drag that write-up if I need to, ya right! Like i will like that, since i have soo many things to write.
10th July- SS test and Chinese oral, mati la.
