Today was the second last day of the entire school term, one of the few where I arrived refreshed and ready to conquer anything and everything in the way. Well, obviously it had to do with arriving at North Point a little after noon from home and settling for biryani with Alex and Leonard for company; followed by the latter dropping us off right outside the gate.. One of the many perks having friend with a doting boyfriend who drives haha. CWO had me cleaning bird shit off parquet tiles overlooking the tennis courts as the Archery people glanced with bemusement; and dinner took me to Manpuku with Kitty where we caught up over Curry Udon after a week of his absence. Perhaps it had to do with last night, the whole gang at Chips: $10 beers, roadside McDonalds, running into people you were bound to meet. What a dodgy place. Doubt I'd be returning soon without some prior chastising.
Well, honestly I've never felt more relieved or at peace. All the intertwining of connections and events which have taken place over the past few months. The lies spun to cover up the necessary tracks, feigned smiles when the need arose, just the mere idea of simplicity cast further than the target called for. I feel different with the absence of my companion, to lightly put it. I thought scars took longer to heal, physical ones aside. This newfound sense of freedom seemed peculiar and unfamiliar at first, one which took time to get well adjusted too. Funny how I'm never able to get the last laugh at things, always ending up the butt of every joke told. Not that I'm digressing or complaining, but it's all happened.
Some pictures from Ben's early birthday celebration at Homeclub on Friday; and on Saturday it was dinner at Lagoon feasting on the usual favourites. Went home after dinner ended, and the rest chose drinking at East Coast over Benassi at Zouk.
Leaving on Saturday night for Taipei. I have been putting packing off for the longest time ah. The thought of being cut off via telecommunication for a week is extremely daunting. Alright, I've said enough. Time for some pictures to alleviate this monotony.

( Cut for pictures, figured it would be easier to read text this way.. )
I never realise how unpredictable things are: Swaying, Unstable.. Fickle. Not like yours truly isn't the root of all my problems. Taking continuous leaps of faith, staying happy mid-air and crashing once the realization kicks in regarding humans and their impossible feat of flight without technological support. Okay, so maybe I did, and I'm just lamenting here just because I can. Feeling nonplussed, dejected, moody. Left the Lecture Theatre mid-way Literature to gallivant and found myself in a situation where Alex told me off after dropping my bag there, "Nadene Lim, use your brains!" Ah, what would I do without her?
That aside, Thriller on Saturday was extremely enjoyable. Albeit everyone on the verge of reaching the 'pissed drunk' status, there was still some Barcadi 151 left over, which was disposed of into the Singapore River. Unfamiliar bass ripping hits, but nevertheless when the commercial 'I've Got A Feeling' remix blared from the speakers, suddenly everyone became friends. I watched arms fly, fingers pointing, people screaming into faces of the ones beside them. Do my words even bring justice to that moment? Don't reckon so. Anyway, leaving early turned out to be a good thing and was rejoined by Dhini a while later. Sunday turned out to be equally as enjoyable, Din Tai Fung and 2012 (which was such a letdown).
So my weekend braced my for results on Monday; where to my surprise I was informed that I was Advanced. Well, that being failing my H1 Math which came at no surprise seeing the dismal 10 scored for Blocks. The parentals have yet to take a look at the actual scores, neither have I in fact. The College has decided to withhold my slip will I finish my Corrective Work Order garnered from the 'numerous days I've been absent without a Medical Certificate'. Utter bullshit IMO.
Leaving for Taipei on the 29th, for a Chinese speaking tour. I've never been on one, but I doubt it will be engaging, foreseeing the lack of mutual understanding. So much for packing heels, apparently mountain climbing is part of the itinerary. Not only that, I will also be spending my birthday there. Sigh, a week in hell.

I do realise that there has been a lack of updates on school. Post-promos, a break in the monotony that is oft referred to as a 'timetable', which dictates an endless cycle of the same weekly rituals, has occurred. No more Wednesday morning Economic lectures, followed by sub-zero temperatures in LT2 for Geography with an over enthusiastic teacher who first addressed us as 'H2 Geographers'; not that I'm complaining about chipper people, but I'm pessimistic at best.
Anyway results seem to be looming, together with Oral Presentation for Project Work. I seem to be at loggerheads with everyone when it comes to getting my way; either my way or no way. Ideally, a crisp minimal Powerpoint presentation, but my teacher has an utmost liking towards colourful backgrounds and fonts in the various shades of the rainbow. I like minimal. I dress minimal. I rarely don prints unless it is absolutely necessary. Today I went out dressed in black from head to toe.
My thoughts seem incoherent. I feel like flooding this entire entry with all the unanswered questions which have been clouding my better judgment since Day One, but this isn't the right place to do so. Too lazy to open my diary and start penning everything down. Maybe soon, when I am at peace with myself and have finally realised how to let go. I have gained a substantial amount of weight since last week, even managing to out eat my male peers at school. Not something to be proud of. Well, the bed is calling for me now. Time to turn to Jesus (ah) and beg for a few miracles.
