Okay so I don't really type in caps and stuff when blogging cuz I guess I'm too lazy, but since itouch's doing all the necessary editing..

Last night would be the best new year's eve I've ever had with the most awesome people and in His sweet presence. That night I entered the new year with something I don't think I've ever felt or had before.. Something different; something new. A kind of conviction, confidence, peace, hope.. That my Father took a hold of my hand there and then, that He was gonna carry me right through the storm. 2009, you're gonna be a year full of challenges but you know what, bring it on.

I'm ready.

what are you doing christmas eve?

it's the night before i leave for the freezinnnn korea and i've decided to finally breathe some life to this rotting blog, cuz i know after i get back i'd feel way too lazy to update it! so here goes, my sappy speech:

i hope the pictures did the talking :) although there're a quite a couple i've yet to receive..
sdd was super tiring but i guess everything turned out great, except for the fact that i paid 85 dollars just to eat the first course of the night (people who know me well would understand how depressing that would be to me) and that I DELETED ALL MY PROM PICTURES BY ACCIDENT. (the pictures you see here are from various facebook accounts, thank you friends!:)) you may be asking: "mel, how in the world did you do that?"
and my answer would be that i don't know how i did it either. :D
oh and eunice olsen was hottzxcz&sosogorgeous and so was everyone else :)

but it was only after the night ended that i realised how much i'm going to miss vj. from the dsa days in late 2006 when i entered vjchoir and then vj in 2007 till the very end of 2008, i enjoyed almost every single moment i had in this place i can safely call my second home. the past two years in the school of my dreams have been simply beyond amazing. from the bottom of my heart, i really wish to thank every single one of you victorians who have played a part in my life, and such a crucial one at that. :) thank you for accepting me the way i am, despite all my unglam moments (which prolly means every moment hehe), for giving me countless opportunities to do what i love, for being so homely and warm and fuzzy :D i really love how everytime i step into school i truly feel like i'm at home. no frills - just my unglam self and my unglam friends. (yes, you all know who you are, unglam pals <3)

i'd never imagine myself being so emotionally attached to any school to the extent that i really truly feel like crying while typing this entry. i mean even for tkg, sure i miss my friends (and food hehe) so much but i honestly didn't feel anything much for the school. which is why i just feel so entirely, extremely x100 blessed to be able to be part of the victorian family and never in my life i'm sure, will i ever, ever forget my past two and a half years in vjc. it's these two amazing years that i've done things i'd never dream of doing or accomplishing, made friends whom i'm so sure will stick with me for life. 07S30, vjchoir, pg pals, IMACS, music pals, october's loss: thanks to you guys especially, you guys really made my life in vj exceptionally special :)

i'm so gonna send my future kids to vj :) period.

with all my love,
mel.

merry (be-early) christmas with love.

my blog desperately needs a revamp/new skin/extreme makeover. but i guess there's absolutely no time at all to think about such things when you've got a levels at the back of your mind (almost) all the time. :(

a level music practical's tomorrow, and i think i've preserved my voice preettyyy well by abstaining from all fried food/chilli stuff&indulging in all the nasty herbal drinks. almoostt. :D well, time for a good & early night's rest lest i wake up with a bad throat. oh the pains of being a voice major sometimes :( can't wait fot that 40percent of my music paper to finally be settled tomorrow. then it's CHILLI CHILLI HOT HOT CHILLI over yummy steamboat tomorrow woohoo!

and a very good night to you too, friends

with a lousy mic and lousy player, was a very random decision to record a very random song on a very random day at a very random time with someone very random..

my lovely sister! (stop saying you can't sing amadea :))

twenty seconds to come back

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:28:35 GMT

so let go, let go,
jump in.
well, what cha waiting for?
so let go,
just get in.
it's so amazing here.
it's alright,
cause there's beauty in the breakdown.

this song is my new obssession. <3 after 8 hours of fun&watching this really sadistically sweet french movie called 'love me if you dare' - back to reality. (case studies/neoclassicism!) and time to catch up on some sleep.

thanks for the influx of texts, notes, gifts, phone calls! thank you all so much for making today so special :)
