Don't think I'll be needing this space for awhile.

Things I Love
I love reading. Not just any kind of books, but books that have the ability to transport me to another place, another time. Books that get me so involved, I feel every single emotion of the protagonist. Books that have that tinge of magic, and books that leave me feeling like I will never be the same person again.
I love being in the water. The coolness, the way you feel so free. Not tiring swim training or whatever. Just being in it. I feel instant relaxation, and I feel like I can do anything haha. That's why I want to be a mermaid. But while that dream is put on hold, I want to live by the beach and make it my home. Sun, sand and SEA anytime, and I will live the perfect boho-chic lifestyle. And submerge myself in waves everyday. Most importantly, being in the water invites back torrents of memories that make me and break me at the same time. It's bittersweet, and I'll never be able to find the words to perfectly describe it. Nor will I ever tell.
I love my childhood. I try my best to reconnect with many of them that are still highly appealing. And then I realize, these are timeless. Evergreen classic songs, classic shows, classic movies. I'm thankful to have a Dad who introduced me to the beautiful world of 80s-90s sentimental music. I also love all the old nickelodeon and Cartoon Network shows, and I watch them on YouTube very often haha. But most of all, I love Disney and all the magic its works contain. The beauty of shows like Tarzan, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, etcetc can never be imitated by anyone. They are my all time FAVORITES and I'm really vvvvvvvvv excited to go to LA after Os I think I'm gonna cry at Disneyland haha.
I love music. Really I can spend the whole day on my piano, listening to songs and writing the lyrics down and figuring out the keys and perfecting it. One of the many advantages of being able to play quickly by ear and I'm thankful for it. Music has been running in my blood since forever haha, and I can't live without both listening to it and making it. And I'm still feeling the beat of drums from last time haha I swear I'm gonna take it up. Without it this world would be nothing really.
I love traveling. I really love the idea of trotting all corners of the earth, experiencing different cultures, gathering new experiences, doing things I may never get to do ever again, and seeing sights that are magnificent to behold. I remember a friend telling me, "that's what everybody wants", but I beg to differ. Just today I was at National Geog with my family and most of them were just perched at the side playing their iPads while I was fascinated by bits and pieces of the world. And my cousin was like, you enjoy this lol? Haha well yes I do. And I know of many others who do too. The thirst for adventure and something new and foreign. At that, I love trying new things too.
I love food. I love tasting good food and I love tasting good food with friends who enjoy food. Even though there are many delicacies I don't fancy, like cockles and some seafood, I really do enjoy all other food and I try my best to at least try everything because I just love food haha. And I'm blessed with manyyyy friends who love food too and it's a joy sharing such greatness with them. My cousin and her skinny friends apparently think nothing of food and see it as just a necessary, and they eat most of the times at fast food joints, only grabbing quick bites to fuel themselves. But my friends and I, and I'm sure most Singaporeans, LOVE food and see it as an enjoyable activity. Well, some people are just like that I guess.
I love to write. Short stories, and more recently, my thoughts and my feelings. I think it's pretty healthy to pen down thoughts and feelings, and express them in your own terms. It makes me feel like my soul is being organized haha. I want to keep a record of all my experiences and of everything I am now, so that next time when I grow old, I'll never forget this piece of me. It's scary, to completely forget. Even if I won't be the same once I mature next time, I want to make sure there's a record of everything I've done and gone through so that I can carry the lost pieces of me for the rest of my life. After Os, I'm gonna get a big pretty book as a photo journal and I'll fill it with everything. My travels, memorable days, thoughts and feelings, and fill them with photos.
I don't even know why I have the sudden urge to type out the things I love. Maybe it's to relieve exam stress or something but I'm not even feeling any stress haha. Well, it's just something I felt like doing, and I feel darn good having done it.

Leaving
People come and people go, often taking their empty promises along with them. It leaves you feeling empty, and hollow. How can someone just disappear like that? Sad fact, but life still goes on anyway. It's so important to be practical when it comes to guarding your feelings. And I'm talking about everyone and anyone. A friend. A lover. Anyone who means anything to you. You let people in, and the next thing you know they are gone. Anyway, God brings people in and removes them for a reason. It's always comforting to know that anything that happens has a purpose, and life has already been written out by His terms. Anyhow, I thank all the people who have been in, and who have made me who I am today. Memories will always stay golden.

Complacency
Received all my prelim2 results today and feeling really happy with it. All by God I really thank Him for being my strength and solace through it all. But I'm really afraid I'll slacken after this. This is not even the real battle sighhh somebody wake me up from this marshmallow and cotton candy dreamland. I will fight till the end, and I really pray all my disheartened friends will keep their chin up and give it their all. 2months and EVERYTHING will be over!!
I. Will. Not. Be. Complacent.
I. Will. Not. Be. Complacent.

Wander
21 September 2012 was spent as an enchanting day in the woods with my beautiful girls (:
Had a wonderful, lovely time. I luv you guys to bits and pieces. And the day ended off perfect with a hearty Botak Jones meal, and sending sweet texts to Ger to get well soon haha the poor thing was so cute with her either *extremely high helium voice* or her extremely low bass voice we couldn't stop laughing. That was me exactly 1year6mths back after Justin's concert haha.
Went to Ben's house with Ruiying Dawn and Natalie today.. without Ben haha ironic. Since I'm allowing myself to rest till Monday, I read my book, listened to music and played Bridge while the rest of them mugged. Went home to a family gathering, and ate grandma's delish cooking as well as my favourite mooncakes!!! And Daddy just left for Paris on business trip. Hope he finds nice and beautiful things for me in the City of Love (: Wish him journey mercy and may God be protecting him.
