Hey peeps!

Another half a year has flown by since someone last posted here. (i think the blog's pretty upset bout it XP) It's been a while too since we last sat down and talk bout nothing and everything. Wish we could do that again but i don't suppose time will stop for us. I hope everyone's doing fine and maybe when all of us graduate (for most of u guys it'll be like the following yr) we can find some time to maybe say travel together and just reminisce our old times before we get swept away by the other more urgent demands of our life.

But here's whats up with me:

Well of course there's the fact that i'm taking my a lvls this year. I have yet to feel the pressure setting in though which is bad (i think). I hope that i'll still do well because in this two yrs i felt like i've felt like i've learnt a lot yet i've learnt nothing at all. Very contradictory I know. For now i guess im coping fine with my work but i don't think it'll last long. :(

Also, there had been some issues with my supposedly good friend (the other twin). Things got a little complicated and so now i've decided to keep my distance from her to prevent myself from hurting her with my unwillingly sacarstic comments( and also to stop me from hating myself everytime i do tht). So now all i can do is to go from one group of friends to another but then i can't seem to share my innermost thoughts with them cos i still can't trust them with those secrets. I'm just hoping this year ends soon and i'll go on to university where i'll begin with a fresh clean slate again, on my own. It sounds like a daunting prospect for me but that's the only way to continue so i guess i'll live with it. Although i can't share my secrets with any of these friends, at least i'm happy with them. With them, i feel like i'm wanted by people again and people do enjoy my company. It's been a long while since i've last felt that maybe because i think i was always closing myself up against people.

And like always, there's always guys that i like but never get, and this time round it's complicated with a guy who like me but sadly i dun share his sentiments. I promised to remain as his friend but i didn't find out that he was awkward with tht arrangement til recently when he "officially" asked me if i would accept him.(insensitivity on my part i noe) It still feels good to know that somebody would actually like me for such a long period of time though i do feel apolegetic for giving him the wrong impression. He's a nice guy just that i would prefer someone who's more mature, who can take care of me (and abide to my whims :P) for a change. The guy i like seems able of giving me that feeling but he's not interested so i'll just have to wait for another to come along and maybe this time round the feeling would be mutual. :D My mum says i should do more good deeds then the person would appear sooner :P so i'm going to test out that theory since changing for the better is not something i'm against. :)

This is more or less what im up to these days because i think that's enough "complaints" for a single post and i've come to realise that i actually do complain a little too much. :p I must really thank the person who made me realise this. ( She's someone who's contented with everything she has, she doesn't bother whining bout it but if she can change it she would, if not she'll leave it be) Do keep me posted bout ur lives too cos i really got no idea what u guys are doing now. (n i do feel apologetic because up til now i cant rmb what poly u guys are in.... i get a little confused by the polys u c...)

Lots of love
Claudia :)

Hey guys,

I completely forgot about the blog, but I think it's a good way to keep in contact with one another and update each other! So, let's see...before I talk about what's new with me, let me reply to what Claudia mentioned.

I don't think there's anything wrong with becoming close friends with a guy, your parents are probably getting worried about this because traditionally speaking, it's a bit scandalous for a girl and a guy to be that close and talk every night. But, haha it IS possible for a guy and a girl to be close friends. Knowing you, you'd overthink things a bit but I suggest you keep your feelings for this guy strictly platonic and friendly. It doesn't seem wise to have a crush on this guy and even though it sounds silly that you're trying to control who you like, it is possible. If you feel like you guys cannot be close friends (like every time you guys are close, there's this feeling that there COULD be something more), I suggest you keep your distance unless you want to get involved. It might not be easy to keep your distance, but I guess just make sure you don't get too attached and don't get too close. Even the most complicated of things have solutions and your mum will probably worry irregardless of what you do. The best thing you can do is to show her that well..you're not spending ALL your time on this guy and you've got a life outside this guy.

OKAY. So, what's new with me?

1. I just went to Korea (the land of plastic girls and pretty boys). I had a great time there and mostly, I enjoyed the bit about not having to worry about all the stuff I usually worry about when I'm in Singapore. It was a study trip though so the lecturers that followed us were very adamant on bringing us to historical sites and cutting short our free and easy time. I posted pictures on facebook, if you guys are interested.
2. Poly life is far from the stereotypical easy-going and stress-free life people associate poly with. It's a lot of work, but yeah, you JC people don't have it easy either. I've been really busy lately with my school work and I'm taking Economics this semester bleugh.
3. I've been helping with the Affordable Art Fair (it's this art fair that's held at the F1 Pit Building) over a span of three days (Friday-Sunday). Various galleries (about 50 or so) come together and exhibit plus sell their works. The price ranges from about $100-$1000 and more. But, it will never skyrocket to $10k like the stuff you see at those "high class" art auctions. I've learnt quite a lot of stuff and it's really interesting getting new experience.
4. My love life is still non-existent so yeah, boringggggggggg.

I hope everyone else is doing fine!
Hugs and kisses, Sam.

Hey guys!!

How are u peeps?? I noe tht i haven't been really talking to any of you much lately. N i gotta admit being busy is not exactly a good enough reason for me to be not keeping in touch with u peeps. But oh well, all the exams for this yr are finally over and i can finally start posting again. So wadsup wif u guys??

For me, i have to carry out a camp this wkend for some NYAA(its some kind of programme) participants. Then after that got loads of hmwk to complete cos i'll be going bangkok!! ... to join the red shirts :P jkjk But for now, life kinda got a little messed up. I kinda got close to this one guy in class whom i treat as a brother of some sorts. But i think to a certain extent, my feelings are getting a little too involved. As in like even my parents think tht we're together cos we talk every single night for quite a while. But the thing is i'm not the one calling... he is. I tried getting him to stop callin but i think i'm not wishing for him to NOT call enough cos to a certain extent, i do enjoy talking to him. :/ And the biggest prob is tht he likes my good friend and i like his good fren in class.;/ My mum's worried tht i get hurt because if i get too attached and he likes my fren, i'll be like completely heartbroken. :( The part on me liking his fren is not tht big a prob i guess, it's just tht it gets a little torturous when u have to be so close to the person u like and yet not be able to show:(... I tink my post is kinda messy like what im feeling right now but i guess u all shd be able to understand it... a little :P

Enough bout me, u guys better post wat u all r up to before i go over n bash u peeps up :P jkjk .

Lots of love,
Claudia Toh

HI EVERYONE!!

I'm sry for all my short replies to Samantha n Carol cos i'm currently quite busy so i'm having a little trouble in typing out my smses during sch. But i guess i'll just spent this few min to tell u all about how mny first few mths in AJC is. XD

Some of my classmates think i'm stupid in choosing this sch when my score allows me to enter a better sch but i dun think so n i quite like this sch. :D The guys u find in tis lvl of education r way way more mature than those i met in sec sch. :P(no offense to the guys) The sch is very concerned about the welfare of the students so it makes the sch more fun. And i realised there are quite a few evps students in this sch too. Like pranjali, hilme, ashvin, tong jun, teck chuan, Jun hao(i'm not sure if u all rmb him but his the one wif the super sensitive nose) n kai yuan(he's in the same class as me :D) It took a lot of them like hell long to recognise me maybe cos after pri sch i kinda left woodlands too so we hardly saw each other. The only one whom i did not recognise was kai yuan. XP

My current CCA is Outdoor Activities lub n their physical training is like hell so luckily it's only like once a mth. We hav to like climb 4 lvls before running to the end of block n coming down again for like 10 rounds :( But overall its quite fun. XD We had field cooking, games, camp, navigation lessons n stuff like tht. During this holiday we r even goin for a ubin camp. Hopefully i survive tht. XP If i hav the time i'll write bout it.

At the same time i'm also like in cheerleading which ends with a competition at the end end of this mth. So while cheerleadin take up my tues n thurs, ODAC take up wed n fri n pe on mon. Its like th entire wk im reaching home past 7pm. Sometimes even 9pm. SO its only understandable tht i've got no time rite. XP Im alr having prob trying to cope wif hmwk since my normal slpin time is 10pm n if i dun slp long enough, the nxt day i wun b able to conc so its like hell lots of thing to complete in 24hrs.

Hopefully, we get to meet up this holiday then i can talk bout it in more details cos i'm not tht good with "essays', i prefer talking.XP N its bout time u ppl keep me updated too. No sch oso nvr blog one :(. (jk only) Now tht i'm in jc, i realise how much i miss the past, those days where we r young. innocent n carefree, doing things we enjoy(except for studying of course), spending hours talking bout events, just being together with ur frens doing nothin. But i guess since i dun hav the capability to rewind time, i'll just hav to walk on n be satisfied wif wat i can get rite now. Mayb when i'm finally old, i might get back tht initial freedom again. :D

Wif love,
Claudia

THANK YOU SO MUCH CLAUDIA! Even though my school format is slightly different, having another school's formats to refer to helped a great deal (especially since I have never really trusted my school). Well, the big O's is finally here, let's all do our best and then we'd get to enjoy the extra long holidays.

Truckloads of love and the best of wishes to everyone!

Love, Sam.

Hey!

It's me...Sam. Looks like there's really only Claudia and me here. No worries, I guess it's because O's are around the corner so most of you are not allowed access to the internet/computer. I've graduated, and it feels like nothing. There was nothing special about it, it was draggy and slightly enjoyable, and it only made me want to get out of Christ Church more. Haha!

Well...I'm not really looking forward to memorizing SS again. It's really tiring and lengthy, and everytime I try to summarize, I fail miserably, cos it's still a huge chunk of words. But, let's just keep on going. This is going to be one of our last exams in Secondary school, might as well give it our all (or at least our best), and enjoy later!

Haha, my brother's PSLE is over already. I can't believe how fast it was for him, I guess these four years in Secondary school have made me forgotten the meagre number of subjects we take in Primary school. It sure makes me regret not studying harder...haha! Remember the days where we used to play Snap and Uno and blast Hilary Duff and M2M? Good times :)

There will be better times ahead so let's all work hard and get this O's over and done with!

Lots of love,
Sam.

Another day :) Just post for now!!!
