Kiss from a rose- Seal
There used to be a greying tower all alone on the sea You became the light on the dark side of me Love remains a drug gets me high, that's how I feel Did you know that when it snows my eyes become enlarged And the light that you shine can be seen
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey The more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grey
There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny Won't you tell me is that healthy, babe? But did you know that when it snows, my eyes become enlarged And the light that you shine can be seen
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey The more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom, a light hits the gloom on the grey I've been kissed by a rose on the grey, I've been kissed by a rose I've been kissed by a rose on the grey (If I should fall...)

unconsciously, i think i started some kind of a series. the key link between these pictures is the girl with really really long hair. i love drawing hair. so calming. xD
so anws, since i think there more to come, i'll describe each piece a little, because there is an inspiration and story behind each one.
This is the emo start to the series, inspired by well, the suffocating hw levels as we slowly and gradually dissolve in the frantic lifestyles. yeah. it basically mourns about how consumed we all are in our work and if, one day, on of us would disappear, who would know?
Yeah, as mentioned, this is inspired by my scarf. its a piece dedicated to modern women, women who know what they what and how to get it. women with goals and purpose in life (: who're always on the move and know when to move on, who are confident and passionate. yeah.
#3 sunrise
this one i just finished. it took a lot longer than the previous two, cos of the horrid angle the girls is standing. its still not as perfect as i would like, but ah wells. IMPERFECTION IS BEAUTY. haha just kidding. anws, it contrasts with the second piece because its basically a lot more about patience, love and hope. you know how in the older days women would wait for their lovers to come back from sea and all that? yeah, this one is about waiting. with hope.
i have more of them up in that head of mine, but time is of the essence so maybe they'll appear, maybe they'll be buried in my grey matter forever. xD we'll see.

just as ive thought about how proud i am to be part of rgs'08 batch this past week, ive also been thinking about how much i'll miss it. growing up in an all girls environment, from primary school to secondary school, has caused me to take somethings for granted, ive realised. and when we meet with the guys next year, these things that ive grown to appreciate all these years will no longer exist. i think its part of an exchange, gain some, lose some, but these losses will be missed.
being in an all girls school has its benefits. like we could talk to each other and understand how we feel, because we have has so many shared experiences. all that bitching, whining, laughing, crying etc. doesnt always replicate itself when you deal with guys. its a sisterhood of sorts. a sisterhood that has bonded us and brought us along this journey. it will be sorely missed.
and then there are those terrible habits that we've picked up along the way. like running into class and yelling "WHO HAS A ***?!" yeah, im guessing we wouldnt be hearing many of those next year. and i dont think we'll be changing in the classrooms anymore (oh how its annoys the male teachers). or talking about certain topics out in the open. no doubt, all of us will change next year, some more obviously then others. i just hope we'll still be recognisable.
which also brings me to the merger issue. im really glad rgisnt merging with ri. i think that this rgs journey has to be taken separately, not because we are too good to stick around with the ri guys, because it encompasses so much more then our academic stuffs. its the culture and tradition that we have now, which will no doubt be destroyed if we should ever merge. like how ripsb ended up merging with ripb, it would be difficult for rgspsb to hold our ground in the event of the merger. our motto, Daughters of a Better Age, will probably no longer apply. our school song? "Sisters in learning, sisters at heart". no more sarcastic pokes at our ri counterparts, no more heart-to-heart group talks about woman hood. yes, rgs will be on the losing end of the bargain.
and thus, i will appreciate my last few months in rgs to the best of my ability. (:

i missed out a few things on last nights post.
1. IT WAS CLAIRE'S BIRTHDAY! yay. happy birthday (: im going to come to gym concert tonight and camwhore with you!
2. nature week
once again, 411 made it to another performance finals. for some strange reason, no matter how messily put together (but not without effort mind you) our performances seem to go very well with the crowd. xD so yeah, yesterday, we performed in front of everyone. and i was Joe the Factory Owner. (after the performance, everyone started calling me Average Jo. ahahahahah) yeah. i think ruth wrote the part for me. it was quite a great performance, although i liked the first assembly crowd better than the second. then again, the sec ones havent done romeo and juliet yet, so it isnt as funny. haha.

hello!
this week has been a happy week. im extremely proud of myself this week! and so i shall blog about it, because everyone knows that emo posts are so commonplace nowadays. plus, its great to blog about happy stuff sometimes to remind ourselves why we love being alive!
1. SCARF!
yups. as you can see, after about 5 months, my scarf is finally done! hurray! although i only did about like 1 months worth of work, but im still really really proud of myself that i actually finished it (: its not as long as i would have liked, but its gorgeous. next time i get to go back to shanghai, im going to buy enough yarn to knit ones thats long enough to go from one knee, up around my neck twice and down to my other knee. YEAH.
2. rgsquash and OM
although we did lose to scgs in the end, i think we really did a great job! i mean, yeah i didnt do much, but i could feel all the love and hard work rgsquash put into these finals! mabel, jacq, lifang, jodee, eileen, i love yall! and im really proud that we managed to make it to the finals after three years. yups. hopefully next years we'll WIN THE FINALS!
OM. congrats goes out to prob2div3: SHARON GEORGE and cowcow, prob5div3: rachel miao, VIOLET LEE, ruoting and eunice teo! love yall. i really enjoyed myself last sat (: you guys were really awesome, entertaining, but most of all I COULD FEEL HOW MUCH YOU GUYS WERE ENJOYIG YOURSELVES. and i think thats the best part of it all. makes me wish i was still an omer too xD and also, to prob3div3, May Ms May Tan get through to the judges and May your appeal come through (: AFTER ALL NO ONE ELSE HAS A POP UP CASTLE or cool funky cheerleaders!
3. napfa/pft
yay! gold again! hahahahaha i really really didnt expect to be able to sustain my record this year cos I SERIOUSLY DIDNT TRAIN AT ALL. means the only excercise i do is during pe/ climbing up and down the stairs between breaks and classes xD after squash stopped i basically sat around. haha. but that just makes me even prouder of my acheivement, because I KNOW that all that got me through that 2.4metres was ME and MY PERSERVERENCE. my stamina practically doesnt exist. hahahaaha. IPU was also another category i did better than expected in. so yeah. UNTIL NEXT YEAR PFT! muahahahahah.

today was an exciting day!
1. ora!
went to ri EARLY in the morning. and as expected i nearly got lost, but thank goodness i managed to find the parade square. so, pictures!
yuda being dunked. sadly, lady luck was shining upon mr soh today, so he didnt get wet
ram being dunked! i sponsored her first dunk! erik threw the ball though xD. she got WET. and i felt quite bad cos the water is like grey and all those ri guys who went in before her..
tessa ong after she got dunked! sadly camera phone quality not too good. but hey, you can see her high-fiving ram!
look at the additions to my bag today. the one on the left is by ripb (or sohyuda specifically. who i must say is not very good at trying to sell his stuff. tsktsk.) and the one on the right is by edens CMPS groups!!! i really really think they worked very very hard for their proj, so the $2 was worth it :)
after that we headed to acsi. on the way, we ate at yoshinoya
erik, yifei and yutian.
CUPS!
and so, we got to acsi despite the rain.
2. OM!
first show we watched was george's! they were good! hahaha lots of puns, which is so rgsom xD george was a DINOSAUR. how cool is that. plus their script rhymed.
JURASSIC PARK = U-R-SICK PARK SUVIVOR = SURVIVE-HER
next was claires show! AHHHHHH OMGOMGOMGOMG THEY WERE AWESOMMMEEEEEEE. <333333333
SAVE THE CHEERLEADER, SAVE THE WORLD!
siying: i have a hour-glass figure! claire: you have a hour-glass figurINE.
claire: i shall REFLECT upon myself! (looks into her shiny armour)
siying: here's some fossil fuel to fuel your train of thought into an overdrive!
then we went to watch violets group, but we were early so we managed to catch acsi. they were quite good! (like expected, duh!) haha they were really funny and creative. like instead of Simon Says, the played Confucius Say. and of course there was a cross-dresser.
acsi guy: perk up your ears! oh wait i forgot, Heaven no ears.
then was violets group. rg practically filled up the whole auditorium, so we screamed the roof down xD. i went to stand with claire at the back and she intro-ed me to shanzhi, theodore, jianxiong and zeb (the real life one, not the tiny version in her phone xD). anws, we were great! i think it was a really unique performance cos they managed to link in a lot of nursery rhymes xD and email jokes.
violet: im half male, im half female, im e-male! violet's male side: Im a HOT-MALE
lols. all in all, it was an exciting day. hahaha.
oh yeah, since im so photo crazy today, ill throw in a few sedili pics into this post.

anqi was being REALLY strange.

i need to figure these few things out before sat comes around:
1. how to get around in ri.
1.1 find the parade square at 7.30 in the morning. apparently this is quite easy because it is supposed to be smack in front of the clock tower. and i think i know where the clock tower is. 1.2 figure out where the psb booth will be. ive narrowed it down to a) canteen, b) hall c) field?! 1.3 figure out how to get to whereever the booth is. 1.4 figure out where ram will be dunked at 10am. 1.5 get to where she is dunked
2. how to get from ri to acsi.
2.1 somehow get myself to asci before 1.00pm. 2.2 find my way to auditorium 1 at 1.30pm to support annie and shimin, but i think i know where that is. 2.3 find my way to the boarding school dining hall at 1.40pm to support george, but i think i know where that is 2.4 find my way to the lecture theatre. LIKE WHICH ONE?! at 43pm to support eunice, violet miao, ruoting 2.5 FIND OUT WHAT IS CLAIRE'S PROBLEM BECAUSE I KEEP FORGETTING IT.
wow.

yesterday was the end of the psl session )):
as usual, it was a happy, yet sad one, with games and food and lots of hugging. yeah. although i havent had the chance to hang around 112 much. i must say i will miss seeing them (: but its great when they sayhi to me in the corridors! (btw 112 is selling fuzzies for ora. please support! they are really cute (: ) i think they've changed a lot these few months. they are clearly more bonded now, and they have a positive attitude!
as for my psls, im also really proud of them. they were good to start with, and now, they've improved even more. i think spsb09 will be blessed to have them; they wil be an asset, so i really hope they sign up to be spsls (:
as for me, this is sort of the end of my peak period. psl session this year has been different, after all, im a spsl now (: but i think its also my role as ops head that changes my perspective on things. after reading so many proposals, its really evident that the psls have grown, both planning for psl sessions wise as well as conducting them. psb08 has some really great psls who try really hard to make sure the sessions are both fun and educational, somethignt that isnt easy. the sec ones are really fortunate to be able to reap the results of all their psls hard work.
talking about psls, i really really really miss spsb07. seeing sherrie at sports fest (though darker) was both happy and saddening. sigh. they've been part of my psl journey, and i think they did a great job inspiring us. i hope we did the same for psb08. hopefully i'll see more of them at ora? xD

this week has been a particularly accomplished one (:
1. grades
yeah i know, classic rgs girl mah. grades come first. ok not really, but i havent had great grades for a long while, so this weeks hist, ss and chinese were long in coming. SO I MUST CELEBRATE. for once i didnt get a 3.2 or 2.8 in these subjects. hurray!
2. daddy
my daddy is quite strange xD he left on sunday after about 3 days, then he came back again on wed for another 3 days T.T but spending time with my daddy is quite nice cos for once im not in front of the comp or tv. just good ol' family time. i think i should try to do that more often this year.
3. golf
yeah i picked it up a few weeks ago and so far, ive only been to the range placey like once. but apparently im quite good for a beginner. since i can hit it to 75m. think im going again later today. but my parents are like addicted or something. they just started, like me, and are already spending on clubs, shoes, gloves and lessons. yeah. o.o
4. chaos
chaos was a really random thingy. one night, mrs quah called me up to ask me to join. i was totally O.O?! yeah. so i spent real long on that six page essay. quite satisfied with it lah. i think.
5. sports fest
last sports fest! i shall devote a post on it some other day. yeah. hopefully with pics.
6. fam 08
met up with this years fam teacher ic during sports fest. i think with our help this year could be not bad (: after all, rgs sec 4 batch 08 has me, liting and joon ting to make sure its going to be great. SO YOU ALL MUST GO OK!
been quite addicted to the twilight series these days. xD how many girls dont wish to have an absolutely gorgeous guy like edward (what kind of a name is that?!) treating them like they're his life anws? i usually dont read popular acclaimed series cos they take too long. xD but ah wells. im bored now.

such a pretty phrase isnt it. xD the other day i was mindlessly scribbling it over and over again in my handbook when qiying came over and asked me in a geniunely concerned voice if i was ok. D: and then sarah tried to counsel me. and i was like ??!!
but it does sound a little emo, despite its ironically completely un-emo origins. from daredevil actually. the part where ben affleck and jennifer garner first met. haha how hilarious.
