making the grade.

never gonna make it. it's been three weeks of school already, and i've yet to start on the essays. they are piling up and up and up... oh yay. happiness. *grumble grumble.

it's MTG's first anniversary. haha. i still can remember us crying as we played as our last notes...
i really miss the experience. and all the laughs we had together!

bangsters, this one's for you.

anyway, vicc and i have been on a song writing spree. really spree. and this is one of our songs! as she blogged, it's one of those happy, sit on the swings and let the wind run thru your hair and think about nothing except being happy... so on and so forth... kinda songs. and it's been STUCK in my head for the longest time. hee(: so... here's "away".

*chorus
away, away.
let the rainbows shine.
just a little more baby,
and you'll be mine.

i'm smiling for no reason right now,
childhood fairytales circling round and round.
right past yesterdays.
someday, somehow.
the sun shine's as far as this goes.

*chorus

no i can't turn back,
we know too much to let it go.

so away, away, we'll both go.
rainbow shines brighted than we'll ever know.
just a little bit baby,
and then we'll both find.
away, away.
and you'll be mine.

once an mg girl.

"with loving hearts and joyous song we sing to mgs..."

yesterday was founders day. for 9 years, i've watched the seniors walk thru the blue doors of the secondary school hall, wearing blazers of the JCs they now represent. after that, walking up the stage to collect the certs. being ever so proud of mgs. meeting all the friends, who will be friends forever.
and i missed out on that. on the ONLY year that i could do that. i didn't get my chance to. ohwell.

...how exactly a year ago. all of us were dressed to the nines, walking thru those doors of shangri-la hotel. snapping a memory every time we could. forgetting about how much work was waiting for us back at home for just that night...

and then that moment ended. and suddenly, we were all in different worlds.
time passes uber fast doesn't it? it just flashes past you, and you just can't catch it.
i would love to relief my moments back in mg again.

it doesn't seem too long ago that i was a small, little(i'd like to think that i was cute too), primary kid running around playing hopscotch and eating watermelons with the rest of the school towering over you...

then suddenly, i'm walking to locker 720, totally zombified in the wee hours of the morning, fumbling with the stupid combination lock and dumping everything in before dragging myself to class to start a new day...

to my dearest class of 2004(esp B3), those times we shared, i cannot erase. it's so much a part of me. i wish myself back to the times we wore the blue and white school uniform and those much hated socks which were forever being folded down...
it was those tears, laughs, pain, that made the memories. those will forever stay.

as we say,
once an mg girl, always an mg girl.

"we owe the love we hold, for our dear mgs."

just being me.

okayy. this is as "shuai" as it gets okay? i'm not gonna try so hard anymore. vicc, you win hands down lah.

july camp was really fun. playing mafia, playing captain's ball in the dark...besides all that. there was something alot more than...

"there's always more than that."

there's always more to things than what meets the eye.

my God is MORE THAN ANYTHING in this world!

"...with you and me, He's always there."

sigh. the weekend was too fast. suddenly, *wham. and it's back to school. oh grrr. well...

"I AM WITH YOU!"

i can do it. yes i can.
with You with me, the impossible is possible and the can't becomes the can.
COME ON!!!

hypersomnia.

"hypersomnia-means excessive sleepiness."

okayy. i've finally chosen my disorder.
i just hope i don't fall asleep doing it.

yay(: kinder bueno's nice. yummeee.

i have to go go pack for camp.
whoopeee!
back in two days(:

battle of the shuai-ges.

this is the battle of the shuai-ges.(if you don't know what a shuai-ge is, it's a really handsome guy. or something like that.)
today's battle is, uh...

MAICHELLE-TNGUNO VS. VICKYTORIA-YIMUO

(this is what happens when it's friday night and you've got nothing to do except study.)

borders.

i've been going to borders for the past three consecutive days.
day one was because of the harry potter thingy. which i have finished reading. and then the next two days was simply because i need to read the DSM-4. i don't HAVE to read the whole thing, simply cos i'm not such a big fat nerd and geek, ehh... but it's super interesting leh. disorders are simply, mind-boggling.
(uh. the DSM-4 is the diagnostic and statistical manual or summat like that.)
okayy. i gotta start on my stupid essays. it's not holidays anymore, which is quite sad really. sigh. OH. i wanna go skiingg!
mummy's going back soon. daddy's gonna be cooking most of the time. and then i will have to wash up. yay! vicc's coming tmw to stay. heehee(:
sorry about being so random. i've been inspiration-less lately.

"tell you what..."

we're playing tennis tmw! my weekly exercise apart from the walking i do everyday. oh. did i mention that it's really tough to get outta bed nowadays? in fact, it's so impossible. it's so nice and cold to sleep in, all tucked up in the sleeping bag and you want me to get out of bed for class?!!? how insane.
(REALLY sorry about being random again.)
i think i really should just get outta here. i'm not making much sense.

am i?

chalked and written.

i went to vandalize the melbourne uni sidewalks today. haha. and it was FUN. this "OC" thing is keegan's idea, and leeway's and my, uh, artistic skills? it's not that easy to chalk something that big on a bricked road ok. i got a bit chalked myself. but overall, leeway and i were proud of what we did! haha. i think i shall purposely walk past the ballieu library this week to take a look at leeway's and my creation. it looked really good! and it takes skill to chalk okayy. we should become professional sidewalk chalkers. i think we will earn good money. haha. jkjk. my huge fish kinda got out of proportion as leeway will tell you so.
oh. don't go chalking in winter. your fingers and hands just don't feel anything much after that. and a nice timtam slam at gloria jeans borders always tastes good after that.

and i thought what i felt was simple.

stay.

i made wanton today! haha. as in a helped to uh, package the wanton. it tasted good. and it's all cos of vicc! i actually helped to make FOOD! haha. ok.
i HAVE to make this comment. melburnians aren't kiasu people.

"duh. quite an obvious statement, really."

i didn't know that okay.
i woke up at 9:15, had a good brekkie chat with dad, and quickly got out of the house to hop onto a tram to st. kilda. as i brisked walked down the quiet streets to swanston, i noticed a few people in witch hats, snapping photos in front of melbourne central building, which is not the most photogenic building.

"what on earth...OHHHH. harry potter number six is out today at 9:01am!"

being the crowd finder that i am, i quickly walk into melbourne central, expecting an uber long queue outside borders.

"there's like. no one."

i'm not kidding you. the sixth book of harry potter was released today and there's NO ONE at borders. no queue, no screaming kids, no frustrated parents... just the borders staff, a few people hanging around and reading... at 10am. 59mins after the release. so i asked a nice looking staff nearby:

"excuse me. but uh, how come there's no crowd at all?"
"well, there was a small crowd at about 9-ish this morning, but that was all."
"oh okay. i was just a bit surprised."
"well, it's good for me. haha. not too much to handle."
"*smile. thanks alot. have a g'day."
"yup! you too."

*mish just shakes her head and walks away(mumbling something about singaporeans being so kiasu.)

anyhow. trammed to vicc's place and had alot of fun! uh, i must say that the soy icecream was really good. and the wanton mee of course.

"won't get me anywhere..."
just stay.

p.s. i'm NOT kiasu okay. i was just being... curious. but i bought my book today lah(: hurhur.

reds.

it's been two long days for some reason. i'm quite tired. i think. i don't really know actually.
grrr. exam results. so far... okayyy, lah. quite rubbish for econs. but i passed. thankfully. really.

"sometimes reds aren't enough."

i'm a happy girl:)

the way it feels.

i spent the whole night catching up with tee. till 5am. therefore, now i'm dead.

"...you miss her, you really do."

shang has left, so has jing, pam, tee, james.
suddenly, the house is quiet. FINALLY. i don't have to bath late at night and fight for the toilet, get woken up super early by shang who'd poke me...

seems like my holidays are over. technically, they are. *cry. i haven't laughed like i did for a long time(that's thanks to shang, pam, jing, leeway, ji, dong.)

haven't gone so high and nuts like tee and i did yesterday. i'm sorry if it was embrarassing. haha. oops.

now it's gonna be a trustfall back into the world of studies.

"...just gotta take His hand and walk, where He leads. keeping my eyes on Him and Him alone."

yay:) it's sunday again. it's been a long time. well, felt like it anyway.

if no one really knew it but you.

ok. i have finally sat down, for about the last hour to get down to blogging. BUT. i shall leave it to leeway to tell the grampians story(which was really cool i must say.)
i have not really been sitting down and thinking cos everytime i do, i actually fall asleep. call me a pig or whatever you want, but i'm really serious. the moment the pillow touches my head...

"enough of excuses, mish."

well, the past few days, i've been walking alot, and taking shang, pam and jing around town. we take lots of rubbish photos, really.

aiyarh. i'm too tired to actually, really blog.
i'm so sorry.

"you've lost your way with words."

i think i have. really. i can't even think of what to write right now. i've got lots to say, but nothing much to write. i'm frustrated ok. i am. really. it's so bad. that i could just... ARGH. to start with, did i even have a way?

"it's just you mish. just you."

okok. i think i'm trying too hard. school's starting. it's getting into me. i've gotta stop here. i'm really just ranting. don't read.
grrr.

for your viewing pleasure(i know it's poseur, ok. i know.)

tngying

she don't wanna go home.

can you imagine, that God paints beautiful sunsets EVERYDAY? and then after that covers the sky in a beautiful blanket of stars.

i just didn't wanna come home.
wanted to stay in that moment in time forever, lost in Your love.

well, i'm back anyway.
going to "peng" right now on my bed.

going grampain-ing.

whaha. i'm EXCITED.
it's going to be. FUN.
somehow, packing for winter is SO hard.
BUT. we WILL survive.
endure the cold.
and we'll be back!
with lots of PHOTOS!
heeee...
i'm so EXCITED.

*big smile :)
