let the good times roll

Joween
25 & dreaming.

//carpe diem//

better known as joweeeeen. your typical singapore girl. searching for happiness. quite a sentimental person who appreciates cards and letters a lot. crazy at times and pretty emotional. has a contagious laughter and a twin too. older every 21 march. insecure, annoying and always overthinking. shy and quiet, or outgoing and loud. afraid to trust, but dare to dream. loves long hugs, heart to heart talks, sincere text messages and reading handwritten cards. imagining things that will never happen. always setting high hopes and getting disappointed in the end. figuring life out every single day.

9 June 2013, the best day of my life. Live like Jesus, live with Jesus and live for Jesus.
"For nothing is impossible with God."-Luke1:37♥

Happy happy sunday
Sunday, 30 March 2014 || 6:04 pm

TODAY IS A VERY GOOD DAY YAY. Because Sundays are very good days. :) apparently we were in the same bus as Wesley (again) hahah. Was in church early for spendtime with mentor (it's been so so so long) and felt refreshed afterwards too, plus prayer night on friday. And also because Chanel, Mari and George were coming!! HYC FAM. Omg 3 months of not seeing an overseas HYC family was torturous. HAHAHA jk i just miss india! Mari had whatsapped me on friday what was the address of our church and she told me that she was coming. And Theo also told us that Chanel would be in Singapore too! So major yay! They arrived in Singapore in the evening yesterday. :) heheh.

Had a time to fellowship and yup attempt to say hi to Nathan and Nick and Jeremy PASSED HAHAHA. So before service while fellowshipping, I was kept looking out for either one of them to appear and I SAW CHANEL. I LITERALLY RAN TO HER AND GAVE HER A TIGHT HUG. Omg 3 months has felt so long! Caught up with her. :) And yay sat with her during service. :)))) gosh it felt so great seeing a fellow overseas HYC participant! ♥♥ and yeap Mari and George came after prayer time! I WAS SO HAPPY omg I can't describe how glad I felt seeing them. Cutest Japanese siblings 10ever. Yeah and service was by Uncle Vincent and a campus student got baptised and yeah. Went to fellowship with Mari and George and Chanel after service! And took a polaroid with Mari and George because we didn't bring our polaroid to India, so yay!!!! :''''''') all the Singapore HYC peeps were buzzing around catching up with the 3 overseas friends. (Including me). What to do hahahah haven't seen them for (what seems to me like) a long time.

Had lunch with Chanel, Mari, Crish, Vanessa, Hannah, Dayna, Robbie, Kyla, Jessie, Theo and Eunice (Theo's friend) (and Timothy and Jay and Duncan and Gabriel somehow they were at another table) at KFC. Hahah and it was raining so me and Chanel survived under the cover of my cardigan. (Pathetic much) hahaha. And basically we had a good catch up over lunch. It was laughter-filled and we pretty much talked about India and stuffs. :)

And did I mention I made two new friends too, Eunice who is Theo's friend, and Jessie, Jay's friend. :) yup they're both really cool and friendly, hope to see them soon!

Term 2 week 2 is starting already and I hope that this week will pass quickly so that Friday can come and I can see Mari and George and Chanel again! I miss them already. :( I miss my american and australian and other overseas friends so much too. And I'm really glad these 3 are in Singapore I have missed them so so much.♥ LOOKING FORWARD TO FRIDAY!

Great week ahead, guys!


RUNNINGMAN DIVERGENT BIBLETALK
Sunday, 23 March 2014 || 8:44 pm

HELLO!!!! So today is the last day of the march holidays /cries/ this past one week only felt like one day????!!!! Plus the last few days have been pretty fun and I was enjoying myself and now I've got a whole stack of undone homework and revision to do /cries again/ I just hope Mr Yap doesn't come find me forever because of my really super cui result. The thought of it is just /cries one more time/ omg. I AM NOT READY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. I CRAI.

Anyways today we had church and we reached super early. We saw Nick at the busstop opposite church, and we waved hi to him, and all he did was STARE AT US. WHAT IN THE WORLD NICK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!? SERIOUSLY HAHAHA. Anyways super little people came for the morning class. TRICIA WAS LATE HAH. And during the fellowship from 10.30-11 there was Kyla and Joey being all dressed up for bibletalk but not for the cold HAHAHAH. Today the campus band led us for worship!! 8) Nathan's first communion and his buddies were like...... idk HAHAHA And Nathan was super nervous (or something) during the announcements because he's scared they will call him to stand and so being a very supportive friend I said "go Nathan" HAHAHA ok. Lesson was by uncle Wee Keong about reading between the lines. He told a story saying oh he went on a trip with Jared and it swerved left and right and upside down and IT WAS ONLY THE ROLLER COASTER IN USS and Nick was trying to make some sense because he said "flight attendant" HAHAHA. OH NICK. PLEASE JUST. Service ended early and we fellowshipped awhile. FOR BIBLETALK.

Went to get our lunch with Robbie, Kyla, Celine, Cheryl and Bantzu opposite church and we waited for some brothers before heading to punggol waterway. There was a time Davis dropped his otah and then Duncan was like "OHHHHHHHHH-tah" omg. The walk to punggol waterway was around 15-20 minutes long but it was okay because we had Celine with her lame jokes.... and Duncan with his even lamer jokes. Like we were passing by some construction place and the company name was "SUN CHIAN" or something and he went, did you know that sun [sun] chian is actually pronounced ad sun [soon] chian. Ok Duncan ok. HAHAHA. And soon after we finally reached punggol waterway under the big bridge. The sec3s were already there, and we were joined with a couple of "alumni" HAHHA, or, just graduated I should say. Lunch was pretty much filled with a lot of laughters. :)))) and after lunch there was a sharing "lesson" by Duncan and Celine. OF ALL THE PEOPLE THERE CELINE ASKED ME TO READ A VERSE HAHAHAH GURL. Duncan shared about inviting and Celine shared about humility, linked with her experience in HYC. GREAT JOB GUISES AWESOMEEE. Afterwards, THE GAME BEGAN.

We were split into 2 groups. I was in group2 with Kyla, Bantzu, Jenna, Ashley, Rachel, Lude, Jay, Joel, Davis, Erick, Russell, Jared, (and a couple of others I forgot who) (so sorry I have stm omg). First, we had something like a puzzle piece with four coins and we had to make the square smaller by only moving 2 of the coins that kind of thing. And to put into words simply, our group had people who can think super well for this kind of questions HAHAHA. And we headed over to the opposite side for the first station. At first station, we had to hit the pingpong ball for 10 consecutive times and roll them into columns with 2/3 spacings. It was a bit hard, but our team managed to do it in the end!   then to proceed, we had to comb the jetty for an envelope with puzzle pieces and piece out one of the five factions. For us, it was easy because the sample piece was on Javier HAHAHA shortcut much? At the second station, we were asked to choose fire or water, and under the scorching sun, our group chose water HAHAHA. And at the middle of the bride WITH THE LAKE RIGHT BELOW US, we were given strings and cups with many holes. And yup we had to draw water, fill the plastic bags and shoot it at a target. We spent a super long time and our string even broke and after a super long time, Elgin allowed us to go down and draw the water manually, and luckily, Jay hit the target at the first throw! Our group had a short break afterwards before heading to station 3 which was to find a verse under the bridge and link it to one of the factions. DAVIS HAD SUPER SHARP EYES and he found the verse easily. Afterwards we gathered for a moment... and our group had 10 seconds to run off before the other grouo because LUDE WAS TBE DIVERGENT. So group2 being group2, we slacked and let Lude and some brothers from group1 to chase after him. Xavier was super on LOL. (Ps idk how to spell his name). And Celine was being her lame self. "What did sushi 1 say to sushi 2?" "What?" "Wassup bae". Ok Celine ok.... HAHAHA. And then the group of guys came back and we took a group photo before we were dismissed. YAY LOLIANS AND CLOUD9.

I said bye to Jeremy and his friends and only Jeremy said bye (but good enough). HAHHA. And we just fellowshipped around talking to people. Basically us consisted of Jay, Joseph, Javier, Joel, Duncan, Robbie, Kyla, Bantzu, Xavier......... and yup us. We went to get a drink at the ntuc nearby and Duncan was just being lame he went "Jo one (me), Jo two (Joey), Joel and Jo ten (Joseph)" HAHAHA what. And they decided on whether or not to watch a movie and in the end they decided not to. And we took the lrt to punggol before we parted ways. We saw Cedric and Perry (who was doing his homework) at the busstop LOLOLOL. And yup I was super tired from the afternoon under the sun and just slept almost throughout the whole journey. Fred and Wesley also took the same bus as us LOL and Wesley alighted at the same stop and we said hi.

YAY Days spent with disciples are just unforgettable. ♡

AND NOW I AM AT HOME. HAD PIZZA FOR DINZ nom much. Homework still undone, lying on bed blogging. And I just. 4 days till we step down from council. 7 months to 'O' levels. And I'm here slacking like nobody's business. Oh well. Plus I know the fact that time flies....

HAVE A GREAT TERM 2 AHEAD EVERYONE.

We gave Nathan his baptism card before lesson in case we couldn't give it to him later. Hahaha.

March holidays... or not
Monday, 17 March 2014 || 11:37 pm

March holidays are here!!!!!! The long-awaited term break has finally arrived but it still feels like a normal school week since we have to go back to school for supplementary. 'O' level year, what to do. Monday I had english supp from 9am-11am where we practiced oral stuff. Unfortunately for me, teacher picked me to read the passage. And it was super funny because when Mrs Raja asked "is Joween here?" Chinyee was the one who reacted she was like "OH SHIT" HAHAHAH. The class was super quiet when I was reading ummmm awkard. Yup so after supp I went to find Faith and Hengjie and caught up with them since last dance prac!!!! Saw Yini and Keting too! They were at 7-11 so I went and just talked about random stuff with them. :-)))) I had a lot of time to spare I even sent them to the LT for their SS supp hahaha. :P and it was raining super heavily. Just crossing the road from school to the bus stop got my toes drenched. Ah well. Then saw Kaien Hafiz and Kelvin at yishun and those idiots............................ i just ignored them cos I can HAH. Went causeway point for awhile but i didnt feel well so went home first and yup. Wrote 2 chapters of physics notes. Oh nd Zandra texted me if I was going to school on Tuesday and said yeah why she said she wanted to pass me and Joey something awwwwww. Hahaha. On tuesday SS supp. Gah. It was a sweaty walk from mrt station to school. Zandra texted me and told me that she left tthe thing under the table outside music room and we went to find it. Luckily it was still there. :'D awww what a sweet junior Zandra is.  there was even a note on it hahhaha! And Yuting also passed me an advanced birthday gift thank you!!!!!!!! SS lecture in the LT where we learnt about transnational terrorism and went through class test stuffs. My notes for the SS notes are A LOT man. After that we split classes. Our class went to the AVA room and there, teacher distributed our common test paper. ANOTHER BORDERLINR FAILURE THIS IS THE END OF MY LIFE MR YAP IS GONNA SEE ME. Pfft i want cry already la my common test so bad how to go O's like that....  ah well. There was supposed to be physics supp tomorrow but Mr Sree never confirmed the time with us so....... :D hahahah whoops. AND JIAJUAN GOT HER POINTE SHOES TODAY I MISS BALLET SO MUCH SUDDENLY CRIES. Omg life is like so ashcieensisoc now.

Anyway I just learnt there were a few more HYC people whose birthday fall in March too! Whoopwhoop! There's Celine, Janelle, Tabitha Jones, Matt, Andrew, Eliana, Phoebe, Aaron and us. Hehe MARCH BABIES FOR THE WIN YAY HAHAHA. Okay. :P very lame.

Anyways I'm so glad its the term break I don't have to wake up so early for a week yay. But I am so not looking forward to term2 because school will only end at 2.15 on monday, and later than 3.30 for the rest of the days. What is life. There goes hours of free time man.. :( so much for our last year in CCHY. And then there's a timetable I have to follow for my revision. 'O' levels is like coming in no time I'M SCAREDDDD ZOMG. And I just dont want to meet Mr Yap la. /Cries a river/

I guess I won't be updating my blog very frequently now with my busy schedules for the year ahead... but I will try my best to update as frequently as possible. I HAVENT EVEN UPDATE ABOUT LAST YEAR'S RETREAT AND HYC HAHAHA and chingay too whoops. :P

Okay that's all for this post ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS WHILE YOU CAN GUISE. :DDDDDDDDDDDDD before school becomes hectic again. (Sad face much)


:-)
Saturday, 8 March 2014 || 1:13 pm

How's life guise. It's the boring me again and I wonder who actually still reads this blog? But anyways.

So it's almost the end of term1 already and that means we're drawing closer and closer to 'O' levels I just can't. O levels cost a bomb man. Not really but yeah for some papers and probably the shipping fee of the papers to cambridge. But yeah I still don't feel stressed at all and I still excel in procrastinating. That's probably not a good thing, especially since I'm surrounded by a bmunch of smart and hardworking people. Gah. Common test ended on Tuesday and we have yet to get back our papers. I don't want to take my papers back anyway. Cos I know what to expect out of my own laziness oh well. And I give myself such high expectations I REALLY NEED TO MUG. I NEED TO SURROUND MYSELF WITH FRIENDS WHO STUDY LIKE SIAO. Omg. AND I HOPE THE SMARTNESS OF THESE FRIENDS FIND THEIR WAY AND DIFFUSE INTO ME PLEASE OMG.

Cross country was on wednesday and as usual I did duty because #lazypigftw. HAH. Well yeah we were early but we were still late to report for duty. :X well and we were on the same bus as a bunch of CCHY-ians too. And all I did was cheer for people at the finishing point with Yini hhaha. Plus I took a selfie with some of my council juniors because senior swag okay. :P and there's this junior who knows us but we don't know him okay......... it's creepy HAHAHA. Oh well #mspopz98 [LOL JOKE] went to lunch at astons with dance juniors hahah yay good food + fats. Grr. Plus anyway dance clique celebrated Keting's birthday on the last day of our common test hehehe. Much love♡

And yup I've got a bunch of friends whose birthday is in march woohoo! MARCH BABIES FOR THE WIN. Keting, Celine, Melvin, Boramy Jacqueline, Vanthan, Janelle, Tabitha Jones, Jason (from Nanhua), Tricia, Phoebe, Aaron, Alwin, Khengquan and I probably missed out some people. And there's us too! HAHA.
Yup enjoy the photos below okaY. Okay you know what maybe no photos cos 2 lazy oops okay bai.

HAVE A SPLENDID WEEKEND AND MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR.


March
Saturday, 1 March 2014 || 9:14 pm

So here comes march, the third month of 2014, day 60 of 365. Anddddd 20 days to 16 years since a pair of legends were born /winkwinkwinkwink/
It shocks me how fast time flies. It feels like just yesterday I took PSLE, and later this year, it's O levels which also means, my last year in CCHY. And I'll be stepping down as Vice president of Student Council and Dance in less than a month's time I might just cry ok I'm serious I'm gonna miss the council and dance clique so so so much cos they've brought me so mamy memories. Council trips like Guangzhou, sumatra and council camps have bonded us together as a batch and as a whole family, and there were so many memories made. And the dance clique who make my dance days and normal school days so much more interesting. {Omg why am I saying as though I'm not gonna see them again} hahaha ok.
I hope that March will be a good month. It's the month I will be turning 16 [OMG SO OLD] . The month where many of my friends will be turning older too hahah. I hope I will really really REALLY start sttudying and stop procrastinating. I hope that March will bring much joy and laughter.
Anyway I'm currenyly in the midst of Common test1. And funny thing is, in CCHY, only the Sec2, 4 and 5s are having common test so. Basically I screwed chinese like I always do and my teacher still keeps asking me if I want to drop HCL I get so annoyed all the time grrrrr. And English was okay I guess I managed to finish the expo writing but I have no idea why a lot of my classmates say they didn't have enough time. :/ combined humanities made my arm ache like asdfghjkl and everyone (especially history students) felt so nervous HAHAHA and emath was manageable. The next few papers are my weakest I guess. Combines sciences [SO MUCH TO MEMORISE FOR CHEM AND BIO], pure physics [failing this since idk when] and amath [sucker at amath since 1998] yup so wish me goodluck hahaha. And weeeee on Wednesday will be our crosscountry and I'll be slacking because duty but somehow I feel like I want to run because fats on me. Hahaha yup. Can't wait for common test to be over (for now).
Happy birthday to da preeeetzxc Keting!!! I know so many march babies and I'm one of them yay!
Until I blog again!~
[random selfie so sorry if you got blind oops]
