11:21 PM



slept super late last night in an attempt to do the superlong picture post and staring at the pictures i realised i didnt really change much throughout the year, despite the exco guys saying the face became smaller or something -.- anyway! we're really into the last day of two-oh-oh-eight! and....... it feels like any other day. not much excitement and everyone's pretty down to doing their normal stuffs, save for those party-goers.

anyway! after yi'an's much pestering and stress-me-out, ive finally started on the commonwealth/gp essay! and after one paragraph into the essay smartme went to look around to see if i can find the word cap on the essay and i saw this: 1400-1750. who freaking writes 1400words on bullying! =/ so much for trying to complete the essay, those numbers totally threw me off lah! so went off to msn jolyn instead :D hehe and spark off a class outing after homecoming wooohoooo! :) can't wait to see the fellow muggers xD and some random musing bout how i nvr did add binghowe and melvin on msn led to me adding them on msn. which explains the weird tags on the tagboard. it's all them, except the last one about bh being the actor. haha that's another person's masterpiece =)

ooh IA xmas party was enjoyable too :D with IA-ians from 2005 all the way to 2009 =] met amanda for lunch before meeting up with weijie to grab shirts then liangwei came and we went to artfriend and popular to buy some stuffs. bought JCO donuts to bring and went to amanda house while liangwei and weijie went to weijie house to grab food + throw everything else down (: and a whole drama happened at amanda's house which included dog poop, climbingover, keys and panic. go figure xD then rushed to shaun's condo and partayed away :))

shall go back to rotting the last day of 08 away :D

9:43 AM

at long last! decided to forgo the whole word-y conclusion about 2008 and do away the whole reflection stuffs and do a picture post instead :D at least it's more cheerful and colourful! spent SOOOOO long putting up ALL the pics and arranging the same events one tgt i got too tired to put them from jan-dec =/ so just take a peep at the visuals as we all attempt to wrap up yet another eventful year of 2008!

Like how years all start- Orientation, 2008 was no exception! DHShine 08 in its 2nd running year was awesome for the year 2s done by exco + sport leaders, with juniors handling DHS Olympics 08 for the year 1s

Miss Seow got me to do a speech for Open House 08 on DHS life and we couldnt have script! cause mr sng wanted it to be natural! thought i'd just die and freak out but i didnt (: everything went really good actually! saw pri sch junior kieran and his dad :D and everyone was super nice with their "good speech" especially mr sng! who thanked us all and said he didnt noe i could make good speeches must let me talk more :D love our principal! vaguely rmr getting bombarded by parents too!

Survivor Kuala Lipis probably took up more time than any other thing but i can proudly say it was the bestest thing ever planned by us! a local camp COMBINED with the overseas one! haha who'd be as crazy as us exco to plan such a camp topped with nightwalks at 3am and fetching ALL 80 SCs' bags luggages and all secretly to the trainstation and making the last stop for streetechase the station :D gosh, and with chief eunice, tim and etc :D i'll nvr forget this in a long time to come!

Preparing xq's cake for the surprise bday celebration by popping by his house uninvited (: this was taken outside his door and he actually realised we were there but hid behind the door and watched us in amusement through the peephole! lol :D

Clique going home tgt! and we thought this shot made us look like we were in BALI or BATAM cause of the trees and wanted to fake that we took this in bali/batam but we realised the SBS bus behind's a giveaway xD

and what great timing that my bday this year fell on EOY PAPER 1- MATHS! so i really didnt expect anything! year 4 scs popped by 4K before flag raising with cake + present and i was like OMG. and through the paper i was like worrying whether the ppl who did my present squeezed in any mugging time at all and was super guilty! clique + class celebrated after the paper!

love you all much and the compiled book with pics + notes was really super sweet :)

hmmm went for photoshoot for the school website and these are pics that didnt make it onto the webbie in the end (:

Typical DHS scene of us mugging prior to the shoot cause we all had tests after that weekend xD

poor yusiang, did this shot so many times i rmr his ear going red =/

lol and the photographer saw us trying to solve yusiang's maths problem in one corner and "moved" us to the shoot area to add this in HEH and we were REALLY trying to solve the question while he shot us :)

Group shot! :D
