Everything is gonna be okay.
You're beautiful, and it's more than skin deep.
Let it shine.

Zomg, exams are finally finally over for me. The papers were less than wonderful. And less than good. In fact, they were rather sucky. Imma blame it on.. something.

So yeah, enough of exams. It's the hols! :D I'm fully booked from now til the 16th of June, excluding the 13th.  (Which, by the way, is Friday the 13th.) I have dance pracs everyday til Aristal, and practices from 8am to 8pm. It'll be hella tiring, but the hundreds of hours we've put in; they're all for the night. For the love, passion, and the thrill of dancing alongside with other passionate dancers. Awesome, really. It's all for the people who care enough to want to come support a friend. I mean, this is really important for me, and I really want my friends to be there for me.

Friday, 23rd- Investiture was really sweet and moving. I think alot of us felt like crying. It's sad to have to see the 40th move on, but it's heartening to know that the 41st is stepping up. It's also really encouraging that the 41st is united, capable and true to our cause. ALLtitude: Attitude, Altitude and Aptitude. I heart the 41st.

Saturday, 24th- Went for hillsongs on saturday! It was awesomee. For me at least, since I knew all the songs. Lesson: go listen to the band if you're going for their concert. I think the whole health and wealth thing about God wanting to give you a nintendo wii is just crap, though. It was quite worldly.

God gave us underserved GRACE by sending His son to die for our sins.
(Not by granting us health and wealth.)

Sunday, 25th- Also had CPU JTS at plaza sing on sunday. It was fuuun. :] Treated the seniors to swensens, camwhored quite abit, and went to the arcade to kill soldiers and throw hoops. Nicholas won the CAR. Yes, we gave him a car because he killed the most soldiers. Junlong and Lennon were super pro in the arcade games.

Monday, 26th- Chem/Phy paper at 8:15am and Bio paper at 11am. CPU meeting at 12nn, Dance from 1-4:30pm and again from 5:30-9:50pm. Bloody tired, but accomplished.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OUTINGS! Summer Marissa stayover, OC outing, Wild wild wet, Manda-huixian-kara outing, peranakan museum trip, dance chalet, birthday parties, church camp, CPU camp, Angsanna holiday, etc. 

INVESTITURE PICS.
(Will upload the CPU JTS and hillsong pictures soon.)

Firstly, I must declare; I ran 3.6km today, and it was refreshing. All ye trackers out there, please don't laugh. Haha. It's actually still the longest distance I've ran. (I did do it a few times though.) Imma run 4.8km soon. For the joy of running.

I copied this off the class blog! Absolutely could not resist posting it here. It made me laugh for such a long time! Haha, yes, I am in omega.

"and, a tribute to all omega students!
[some people suggested that i put it up here]
a song, to the tune of "apologize" - one republic

I'm sitting here in class eyelids drooping to the ground
I'm seeing Eng's mouth move but I just can't hear a sound
You put me in Omega then you see me grades go down, away
You tell me go and study but my grades won't turn around, no A

And now it's too late to go revise
It's too late
It's too late to go revise
It's too late
It's too late to go revise.

D'you know?
For you I bleed myself dry,
For you I bleed myself dry.

Since I've finally met you, I don't think I can write anything.
Because everything about you, will be beautifully unexplainable.

Omg yes, I know. I have't update for a few decades. Life has been absolutely crazy for me. I find myself staring at my organiser for minutes, wondering how i'm gonna handle everything. Things clash everyday, and no one's happy because I've got to be at 3 places at the same time doing equally important things.

Ah yes. Life is wonderful.

People have asked me if I regret joining council, but I've always said no. It seems rather crazy, I know, but I do love the councillors, and I love the job. I don't regret joining council. (Not yet, anyway.)

I joined council because since the time I first entered the school, they've left a lasting impression in my mind. The councillors, they just have this air about them. Like they're capable, independent, responsible and able. I see them alone alot, like, hurrying to do their next duty. I see them so so tired, and I see them so  worn out, but yet, they're so alive. They're able to have so much fun despite the stuff they go through. They take so much joy and pride in serving people, even though they're critisised all the time. I want to be like them. 

I know that I don't exactly look like council-material, or whatever. I know I'm not perfect, I know I don't really resemble some of the other councillors, but hey. I'm me. I'm learning, slowly, how to be the best I can be. I've learnt so much already, through the campaigning, elections, through the elects' camp, through the smaller projects. I'm actually proud to be part of this wonderful group of people. They're inspiring.



Oh yes! Luke read my mind today. He described my dream home to me.
Luke: "And roses and brambles and creeping blueberry vines snaking along the terracotta brick wall, Green ivy and moss caressing the brick red masonry. And if only S'pore was cold, a little cosy fireplace, with a cute little hearth and a dainty chimney. The tea room, with fresh scones and butter and strawberry jam and goat's milk and canapes, cottage cheese and garden salad with olive oil."
Me: "A chandelier, crystal, hanging right above a chestnut table with engravings. And a family, with alot of love."
Luke: "Ornate, intricately carved vintage table. Walls with curtains at the windows which reflect all the mirth and joy of the room around the cottage. The sighing'uv the rhodendrons and the laughter of the tulips and the golden cocker spaniel near the fireplace, sighing in contentment.
All is right in the world.
Me: "My description's never gonna be as good as yours, but yes; that is my dream house."

Aaand! We have officially formed the O.C. four! Cara is Summer, Luke is Ryan, Ash is Seth and I am Marissa. We're gonna have a camwhoring session/O.C. outing during the hols. I can't wait!

Yes, life is wonderful.
(Note the deliberate missing-out of ass week.)
