quick getaway

sick and tired of school... funny that i can say that now cos 6 months from now, i will be wishing that i am back in school, studying... missing the freedom that school offers... working life is definitely different... studying on CNY is just totally sucky... i think nothing goes in and whats worse is that i screwed up my papers pretty badly... I dunno man... i can't afford to da bao anyway...

weird that somehow i think i am beginning to enjoy studying a bit now... i can just sit down and start on my work or take out a reading to read... unlike the past 5 sems... its the saying which goes you start treasuring things when you are going to lose it... i guess it holds pretty true.

going to Dayang for diving at the end of march.. am going to take my advance diving den i can do my night dives and deep sea diving... can't wait to embrace the sea and the underwater nature again... i certainly miss the thailand trip... swimming amongst the corals... in between the caves and amidst the schools of thousands of fishes... amazing.. feeling carefree and forgetting all worries... can't wait for end of march... i need a little liberty... a little getaway...

Wedding Bells...

Just got back from a wedding dinner at Shangri La Hotel... guess whose is it? Its Wenmei... my jc classmate... kinda fast yeah? 25 years old already... period of time where people are starting to get married, throughout the whole dinner there, it was like a feeling of make-believe... like while we were still in jc years only yesterday, but now she is getting married already... its the cant believe its true feeling.

quite a number of jc friends turn up... our classmates naturally but not all of them... its good to see them after so long, the familiar faces of people who u know by faces in school last time. brings back the jc days feeling except that we are all older... people like Sherry, Li En, Li Si, Yanming, James, Jianping, Shock, Lineng, Ah Bi, Kenji, Junlei, Clarence, Ting jie, Lifen... just to name a few...

the wedding was indeed a grand one. Shangri La Tower Ballroom... the food was really tasty and fantastic, but it was obvious that a lot of effort went into the planning of the wedding itself. The video clips of their courtships, wedding day, wedding photos, the secret clips that they made for each other, Gary went to learn piano for her while she secretly met up with friends from all over to take down their well-wishes to surprise him... that sweet couple.. hehehz... Justice of Peace was engaged to pronounce them man and wife with their on the spot engagement. quite cool eh?? friends singing on stage, giving speeches and well wishes...

the theme was perfect wedding.. i think it pretty much lived up to it and i guess it has set the standards for the rest of the girls who are still single out there who attended their wedding. 55 tables in all... i think i might have problems deciding who to invite and inviting them next time when its my turn. but it wun be soon anyway, i dun even have a gf yet... haha...

this is the first peer wedding that i attended, i missed Selena's one in Jan thou, but there are already more to come this year. May will be my bro - Xavier's wedding. Aug is Ray's, Oct is Wanqing. Lifen has already booked us for next year. talk about fast eh?

one month to go before the class gathering to view her videos and photos...
i had just entered another phase of growing up....

wake up call...

The last day of Hols... or rather supposed hols... since i spent the last 3 days trying to read up for today's test... but to no avail... the festive mood is too overwhelming.. i spent most of the time stoning and staring into space, past years of hall life and activities keep appearing before me... the different batches of people, the things we do, fun and the joy we share... sleep was the major culprit...

the test just now was simply terrible... i got almost nothing in my mind, nothing to write about... similar to the blank out feeling that i had when i was doing my A levels... i think it was one of the most disorganized essay i ever wrote... to my disgust it carries 30% of my grad for this module... i simply hope i dun dabao... Maybe the lecturer will be kind enough to release the grades earlier so that i can still decide to do the term paper to attempt to pull it up... but for now... i need to slap out of it... no mood to study... missing DP and hall life... assignments piling up... its time to start cracking already...

WAKE UP JINGPEI!!!

Curtain Call...

its the end of everything... going by the raptures of applause last nite... i guess the whole was a huge success... the laughter and wolf whistles... i think the audience loved the show... despite the minor glitches here and there during the dances... of course they audiences wun know... only the dancers ourselves will... nonetheless, it still brought an end to my DP life... wasn't feeling particularly nostalgic... but sadness was creeping over me, cos i wun get a chance at DP anymore... how i would miss the dance practices and the nonsenses and the crap that would happen during all the practices...

no one really cried last nite except for siding... thou hers was instigated by meng and wingkit... it wasnt anything like gillian, tian or tracy's last year... maybe there is a smaller group of us graduating this year as compared to last year's but still, i know everyone is feeling sad inside... afterall DP is a huge part of our life in hall... i hear the year ones persuading me and psychoing me to stay for one more year... for DP, i must honestly admit... i am very tempted... thou i am adament that i am graduating... but i guess they swayed my decision a little... will see how things go, though most probably it will remain status quo...

i'm glad to be in june's dance this year... seriously its the most seh and best dance in most pple's eyes... we even won praises from the Guest of Honour and VIPs... so i guess thats good... thou there were minor fuck ups... but generally it was a good run i guess... Margie's dance was fun... seriously, it was the only fun part for DP this year for me for most of the time... cos its light hearted and i got a super funny dance partner in Christina... i'm glad that its her than anyone else... so many funny things happened when we danced together... i shall remember the way that she pinched my cheeks... make jokes... i imitated her during the seducing part that made her forgot the dance steps... preventing to run away from her on so many occassions that she got she scared that she had to chase and pull me back before the next part of the dance started... the so many times that i forgot to catch her during the jumps and made her so scared... margie said she is glad that she put christina to partner me so that she can boss me ard and make sure i remember my steps... i must say its really pretty true... i bought her a bear for that and boy, was she not happy...? me and jac got this boredom game where we tried to spring surprise attacks on each other... it was a little game that brought our friendship closer... sneaky little girl... but this year... Handy won the best new male dancer, and jaclyn was the best new female dancer. Christina and Alina were the most improved female dancers and Chang Yong was the most improved male dancers... i must say they are really good... so happy for them..

so little time to take photos this year... i must remember to get photos from all the other pple...and buy the past 2 year's DVD... glad i made new friends in this year's DP... pple like claudine, yijun, sopphia, jac, andrew, shayne, christina (of COurse), julia, wanyu, janicia, joseph, pei an, derek... too many to be named... still remember the ban lut push ups game... the scramble mania... the cam whoring... the funny incidences of fabian getting punched and stepped on by wang qi and for the oldies... the last year last chance and last curtain call...

fell asleep watching phong, meng, lorr and and andrew playing mj... just woke up... feeling the aches and the sores in my neck and calfs... it never happened before... maybe its a sign that my time in DP is up...

emo..... sometimes i really wish that DP is a show that never ends... so magical, surreal and fun...

*Edited*

i was just talking to yijun and sera... got so emo-ed till i teared... i cried for DP... hehehz... it was like a magic... dancing with your friends... the people you live with and see everyday... the craps and happenings... and you really really wish it never ends...

Sera: Do you like dancing or just DP?
Jingpei: I like dancing... but i love DP...
Jingpei: DP is a different feel also...
Jingpei: its just a little magical
Sera: YA!!!!!!!!!
Sera: i feel the same way too!
Sera: its like so different from just any other performance
Jingpei: cos we live and dance together
Sera: i think its the bonding and the hard work...

*i teared....*

Last Year??? Last Chance.... Last Chapter....

IHG curtain came to a close today... by the twist of events... we lost the overall title... though the loss of girls title was pretty much within expectations... the overall loss was pretty upsetting for us... considering that we never had any one point sport this year for guys and we covered so much for the girls.. we still lost... i think there is only ourselves to blame for cos out of the 16 sports... we made the finals for 12 of them... but sadly... we only have 4 guys titles to boast of... super disappointing and we were suppose for make finals for 2 of the remaining 4 sports... but due to hiccups... oh well.. its all the "what ifs" now... but in truth... we screwed ourselves up... i wun even say its hard luck or anything... if we had won what we were suppose to win... things wouldnt have come to this stage... strangely enough... i dun feel much for this year's IHG... it felt like its none of my problem or business anyway... maybe its because i'm in my twilight years and i feel detached already...

DP is tmr... its my last chapter in hall... my last contribution and last activity and involvement of all my hall life... kinda sad and nostalgic... despite all the problems and clashes of practices with trainings.. DP has certainly been enjoyable for all the years that i was dancer... i should have joined in year one too... i think i will miss dancing, i wun get a chance at choreo-ed dance again... I'm glad to be in June's dance this year, easily the most seh and outstanding;y unique dance this year... i like sera-claud and betty's too... too bad.. i wun get a chance at them... i know nostalgia will kick in tmr... its my last curtain call... i shall look back in my memories for the past 2 years for all the smiles and laughters... the scoldings and shoutings.. the nonsenses and the ugly...

i must take more photos for memories... i will hang ard for the longest time... i think i cant let go... this is the end of my hall life... and i know i shall miss it despite some glitches that happened along the way...

the rest dun really matter for now? what test? what studies? i'm just gonna immerse and enjoy myself for tmr... DP first.. the rest can wait....

DP ROCKS!!!!

wasted...

last nite was totally wasted... senior guys drinking session which turned out to be totally disasterous and grossified... drinks galore i have to say... at cafe "lam par", it was a totally wonderful idea by thomo and jit... nice little get together... nice music with candles and decorations... good job bros... but no thanks to the forfeit and the silly ingredients... due to some silly games and people who are high from the drinks... special ingredients are enough to make the bravest cringe... late comers kanaed the worst but it doesn mean that the rest of us were spared because everyone was forced to drink in the name of brotherhood... pubic hairs were added to the drinks and it was so gross that pple started puking after they tasted the drink... none was spared... grosseddddddd

by the time everyone got to the bash... pple were high already and sprouting all sorts of nonsense... i wasn't spared at the bash either... i was more concerned about the essay that i had to write in class today and the take home exams that started today but the freshies keep toasting me... in the end at the bash... i think i drank another 3 jugs more and many bottles of beer... basically it was so bad that i have no recollections of what happened after michelle lost her hp... i din even know that its was pillay and yong who carried me back and there was a fight which broke out... damn... i would love to throw a few punches to vent my frustrations... missed it...

missed the history lecture today... and the hangover was damn bad that i kept walking in and out of tutorial to puke... i think the lecturer must be wondering wat was wrong with this guy, esp when we have an in class essay to submit... it was pretty bad though... cos i can't think straight or even think at all den there was this analytical essay to complete... i think i am going to screw it up pretty badly...
IHG soccer was up next and we are playing semis on sunday...

class outing with my jc classmates just now... to commemorate me and huazai's belated birthday and his return from shanghai... and to have a meet up before huai and amos is leaving in a few weeks time... time flies eh... coming to an end of uni life soon... its always fun to hang out with the jc chaps... damn nonsensical but yet close to heart cos we tell each other things and we are there for each other when anything happens... though we don't meet up as much as before but the feeling is still pretty much the same... so its nice and warm...

Star-strucked

its just a short post... cos not everyday one will get to have tea with celebrities...

supposed to interview celebrities for project for one of my modules... thanks to weizhen's connections... we were lucky to have Priscilla Chan (aka Zeng Simei) and Alan Thern (Tang Yu Shu) making time for our short interview... think of us... it wasnt anything daunting cos we had previous encounters with them before cos of weizhen's birthday and other outings... but we are just glad that they managed to make time for us for a short interview regarding emotions at work...

Priscilla is pretty as ever as usual... and Alan is witty and funny... think its the chinese high and hwachong connection that we have lah... think we were all pretty much of the same frequency.... lotsa jokes... crapping.. play acting... thou we werent really familiar with each other but their easy going nature made things much easier for us i guess... afterall they are actor and actress... PR skills must be superb... but well.. if they can hang out with weizhen so much... they are pretty much who they are lah... I guess its because of their star status.. we were treated like VIPs at TCC today, the waiters and waitresses were attentive to our every needs... even opening the door for us whenever we enter or leave... haha.. shiok... most people would have thought that simei is the next door girl... think again... not that she is not... but she is more vocal than that.. haha... anyway, it was all fun hanging out with them the entire afternoon...

on the way back to hall, i stopped at harbourfront... couldnt resist but step into vivo to take a look... funny thing is i was immediately reminded of my birthday lunch with sweetie... every nook and every corner... the scene was like replaying right in front of me... from the escalator to the search for place to eat... steps retraced... fond memories i call it...

s'ennuyer de vous

maybe....

i am not a part of your world....

love is....
thinking of the person...
wondering how the person is at different point of time...
missing her...
can't get enough of her...
can't wait to see her...
feeling uneasy when you never hear from her...

weird... i haven seriously felt like this in a long time... maybe its saying something...
but it seems that i'm not part of her world afterall...
