today started really irritatingly. first i woke up around 3am with spliting headache, fever and an extremely sore throat. grrrs, plus it was raining and i was feeling hot one moment and cold another. haha, and i had pretty many weird dreams.

next after much persuasion by my mum i decided to see a doctor before i go to school. cause after all im having meeting after school. and so i went to see the doc. yea, the doctor is as friendly as always(: but the worst thing that happened was with regards to the receptionist there. i waited and waited after i came out of seeing the doctor. slowly, everyone that went in after me got their medicines and went out. like some silly monkey, i sat there and waited for around 1/2 and hour. until i decided to go up to them and ask them.
-
me: "erm, is my medicine ready? i have waited for around 1/2 hour already."
they: "oh you haven take your medicine? shirley right? how come dont have ah."
me feeling very tired and irritated they still can ask me how come i didnt get my medicine.
they: "your name is shirley tan?"
me: "no, shirley yeo."
they: "shirley tan right?"
me: "no, shirley yeo. YEO"
and they walked away doing other stuff, reading this and that taking their own sweet time.

eeee, so irritating la! i prefer the old receptionist. anyways, its over already(:
and the medicine is making me feel better. heehees.

lesson today is not making me feel any better too.
but the one in green and white stripes will. XD



i remember the past when i used to train for my long distance events back den in secondary school. there was this jogging path that i always run. on good days, i could run more than a round. on normal days one round would be just nice and poorer days are when i start getting tired before i complete the round. but i guess the running did help. it made my secondary school days less stressful especially when exams are round the corner. somehow being in competitive running helped too. it gives you this sort of motivation to drive you further to accomplish more. somemore when you run, you get to feel the wind blowing against your face, through your hair and lifting you off the round! haha, i never forget how it feels.

now, even though i no longer run as often as the past, i still try to do it at least 2-3 times a month. to get back the feeling of those days. i really love running because it releases my stress and makes me feel carefree. even though i no longer run competitively, i still hope to retain my stamina. (:

besides running, i found another sport which i really love. wakeboarding.
i fell in love with it the first time i tried it. the feeling of gliding on water is something that cannot really be described. like you are floating on water. it feels, amazing especially when you feel the little splashes on water against your skin under the hot glistering sunrays. but its not just that. after a few more times, try hopping around the water or surfing in and out. awesome. no doubt there were bad days, when you fall and let the water slap your face - forgetting who you even were for the split second. there's a reason why its called extreme sports. haha.
its all worth it. you feel exhusted, no doubt, but thats where all the fun comes in.
you try and you fall, you fall and you learn, you learn and you improve(:

but theres the downside - the holes it burns in my pocket.
just for the passion.
and to me, it's sports for life(:

hellllloooo, before i begin, i want to dedicate this post to my bestest bud, VALERIE GOH(:

im so happy that we are both in the same school again. mayb its sort of like blessings by the angels. its nice having the feeling to share everything you feel from fashion, friends, guys, school and even to the usual girls pms, like every single thing under the sun with your best girlfriend. reminds me of those good old days back in sec school where we crap about everything together nearly every single moment. its like, we can chat in school and even chat on the phone when we reached home. no wonder teachers and even some people around cannot tell who shirley and val is. its like many times, they can even call wrong names. hahah or mix up our names. somemore for the 4 years in sec school, we were lucky to be in the same house and same class. =) no doubt we have our shares of quarrels and downs in the friendship, but it sort of made us learn from our mistakes and becoming stronger than ever.

now we are more or less matured enough to think as compared to the past, but im glad that we are still the bestest of all friends. i know that no matter what happen in the future or what, i can still count on her to share my problems with and stuff. even though im in my last year and she is only in the year one, im glad that at least we have this one year to be together, striving for the best together especially when we share the same interest in wakeboarding! hehehe, something i really loved and introduced to her. im glad she starts to love it too! she is like, my sister or something?

lets see how we have changed through the years...

those days back then in secondary 3, when digital cameras just came out! (2003)

in secondary four, when we were preparing for our o levels. (2004)





this was during our sec four class outing at our usual hangout, wcp. (2004)

and this, was one of the recent few where we meet up and catch up on each other's life. =) (2006)

and this, the most recent few, during our wakeboarding adventures. (2007)

and i must say, i really love her! friends stick by each other no matter what; just like you and me. (((:

Its the start of my final year in poly. somehow i still cant believe that i have reached till this point of my life and soon enough i'll be going out to work in the industry. =/ and im still stuck with the back to school blues. haha.

first two days of lessons werent too bad, made more new friends around and stuff. (: but still feeling pretty dazed after the long long break we had. haha. im glad for the one day break we have in the middle of a hectic week. there goes those days were i can wake up late, slack around the place before heading out to do some chores.

anyways, on my last day of school holiday, i went down to wild wild wet for my first time! hmmm, indeed there nothing much there just a couple of slides and places like the shiok river or wave pool to slack around with. its a good thing we went there early as there wasnt much people when i reached there. the queues were nearly a breeze especially on those 'thrill' slides. (not really very thrilling i must say) haha. but out of which, i loved the slide up most! two person sitting facing one another being pushed down a nearly vertically slope about the height of 3-4 storeys high. haha. super cool and thrilling. after all the thrill, it feels super nice to just slack around the big round float at the far end of the wave pool, away from most of the bustling life of all the families around. it feels, simply relaxing, simply awesome. (:

and now, SLA is round the corner. which means time to get moving on our toes and snapping out of all the blues we have. haha. happy school year ahead everyone!

loves.


been thinking alot about what im going to do in future. big dreams and big goals i want to achieve. just hope that everything would run smoothly enough. =)

been wondering for a few days, what is the purpose of a blog? to encount every mundane happenings of a day from morning to night? or to write down memorable happenings once a while? or just a space to release passing thoughts and feelings for deep within? - i guess my purpose of a blog is for me to record down my random thoughts and feelings at the spur of the moment. (: and i know that this defination differs from people to people. thus, pardon me when i do not update regularly. it doesnt mean that i dun care about my blog, but just not too sure whats there for me to say.

i believe sort of thing that life is like a story where every stage of life is like a new chapter. at one moment of your life you could be writing the contents of more than one chapter. however, once the chapter ends, a new one begins. it always starts differently and end differently. its funny how things in life works. As my cousin said today:
"Why try to control something we have no control upon? - Let them be the way they are. Control things that you can make decision and changes upon."

The thought of the day.


proof, swipppe, up down left and right, flinge, and hit down straight into the water.
the falling wasnt nice, its like stars all over. butbutbut, experience, priceless. hahah. im glad at least i learnt new stuff today. hopefully i will meet my jumps soon! hahah.

haven been faithfully updating my blog for a while. and the days are passing by real soon. we're like down to the last 2 weeks of the long school holidays. and everything going back to normal again. i wonder if thats a good thing or a bad thing. but i know that i can foresee my best bud studying in the same school as me. friendship of 6 years and still growing! we going to have much more fun days and meeting ups to go. =) i do hope its Best Friends Forever. haha.

i love the random jumps, the pokes, the drools of water drips and stufff.
partner in crime

=)
