of the lovely blue european skies that i miss so much.
of the happy-tired 14 days in europe.
of how my exams will turn out this time, of how well i'll fare.
im just missing the holidays i guess :P and of cos, beautiful europe :) i wanna go back to those times, where the weather was nice, the pace of life slow, the complete absence of school work, and the laughter of friends.
exams, pls faster end!! X(

today seems to be a lucky day! :)
aiyah everything just seemed to run smoothly lah lols. even the buses and trains arrived quickly and i got a free precious thoughts notepad for doing a super short survey lol.
quite an accomplished day for finishing my stats studying and tutorial [erm technically finish lah :D], for practising my flute to the best of my ability, for revising ONE chapter of hp307, and for achieving my purpose of going down to orchard ion this evening :D woohoo productive day!
bought a pair of flats from rubi (a shop we walked past like 5 times today lol) and its surprisingly comfortable even when i tried it again at home. please remain comfortable for longer~~~
and we saw this at precious thoughts!
super adorable super huggable life-size forever friends bear :DDD
that costs $330 -.-
i can eat like soooo many things with that amt can...
and just in case u think tts a birthday-present-hint, its NOT. i know better than to make ppl waste money on soft toys that collect dust in the end and also not say my hse got a lot of space to put it. my huge baby taz from 4 years back is taking up enough space le... lol. this is just a... "apple of my eye" kinda thing so yeah. just for viewing pleasure~ :)
but i wont deny its so cute!! XD
to end off, i wanna congratulate my bestie~~~ :))) sincerely feeling super happy for u!! hahaha. may lotsa happiness come ur way! :D

feel the beat. [11:52 PM]
gloomy tuesday.
also marks the end of gv17 module :((((( although im really glad tt yet another presentation is over, its still kinda sad leaving this module, cos it has really been a whole sem of fun! :) as with the other music modules i took, it was probably the only no-stress module compared to the hectic schedules from my cores, so it was kind of a weekly breather for me. plus i love singing! :P haha. will rmbr this course always :)
our junk-apella ppt today was quite alright i guess. ppt may be bit lengthy but i guess we did ok for the performance part :) once again, experiences i'll nv get elsewhere, so all these memories are much much treasured! we also got to know who our 'angel'-s are today (we have this angel-mortal thingy from the start of the course), and im glad to receive another note from mine :) in these "stressful times" and when i-suck-at-everything days become so frequent, it feels really nice to receive encouraging notes from ppl whom u know appreciate what u do, even though u may think nth of it. also love the "mystery effect" where u dont know who's the person who wrote those notes, and u go "ohhh so thats my angel :)" when u do find out in the end. haha so, thank you for all the encouragement angel!! :) appreciate the notes a lot, and i hope we'll all get to meet up in the hols to go for karaoke tgt :D
okays enough of "reminiscing" happy moments of the day. time to get down to work! 2 days to flute exam! chop chop!

they're both such beautiful shots i couldnt choose between them, so i uploaded both :)
the entire saturday was spent outside. not a minute with my books or projects or report or presentation slides.
it feels good. damn good. :P
and the best part? im so not guilty of that, because i had a terrific day today! :))
much as i hated being woken up by my alarm at 8am on a saturday, it was 'exciting' having to 打扮 so early in the morning. we were gonna attend my mom's friend's daughter's church wedding, and we cant possibly go in tshirt-and-shorts.
we arrived a little late but alas, we're not the latest. in fact, it started abt 20-30mins after the stipulated time? haha. anyway, i think church weddings are just soooo beautiful :)
i admit i didnt really enjoy the part where the pastor preached about god and love etc etc (sorry christian friends, but there's a reason why im a free thinker :]), but the ceremonial processions were really very touching :)
watching the bride walk down the aisle with her father, hearing them pledge the marriage vows to each other and being pronounced husband and wife, the way the hymn lyrics made all the sense in the world when the choir sang them, how the bride truly meant the lyrics for the song she sang for her new husband, were all very touching. it was my first time witnessing a church wedding in person, and i nv thought things could be so real and heartwarming from the way we see them through tv dramas (which can be a little cold), but they were. seeing the groom tear when he saw his bride walk towards him from the church door was also unexpected, but it was :') i sincerely feel very happy for the pair of newly-weds!
and now im wondering how my own wedding will be like next time hahaha :P i wonder if it'll be as beautiful~
towning after that with kah hui rosa and wei jie to get the bday presents before we drove over to yan ting's place to do the cards, and then to wan ting's bday celebration at yck sakura. thinking of what presents to buy and having to get them within 3hrs really splits our heads, but dinner was gd and the company was better, so everything was compensated :)
really enjoyed the evening with cac ppl! :D its been real long since i met up with everyone (once again) and it was nice just sitting der eating to our hearts' content and simply crapping and laming the whole evening away with them! we took lotsa photos, did stupid stuff as usual, made fun of each other (:P), took polaroids, and laughed our dinners away on the car ride home. hahaha thinking of the stupid things we said in the car really makes me smile even now. its actually all these "dumb" stuff that i rmbr huh? :P
but i kinda agree with what choon xin said..
"你讲4句话 hor, 3句是废的"
TSK SO MEAN LAHH. but i think its true HAHA :P
aiyah life's too short to be serious all the time. come on let xinyi brighten up ur day with all the lame stuff she can say~~ :P (WOW it rhymes!! hahaha)
lols. ok lah its been a long day. time to sleep and recharge for a full day of report-writing textbook-reading presentation-brainstorming and squeezing in 2hrs of one last jam before we go up the stage for EOY audition next week. fwooo. jiayou xinyi!! XD

XD we'll be doing the a capella version of "the lion sleeps tonight" mixed with some junk-jam percussion instruments. its not exactly easy arranging all the rhythms and voice parts but when we rehearsed tgt after practising just now, guess it sounded not bad! :D i hope we get more effort marks for this mann :P
and now the song is totally looping in my head~~
wahaha im so totally in the singing mood now!! seriously, its a big load off my shoulders having done with 403 ppt. am feeling relaxed like nv before! XD i swear i havent felt this happy for the past week.. woohoo. singing heals~!! :P

from the blog that nv fails to inspire me,
"In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again; but you do"
so true.
