RANDOM THOUGHTS

One. I. Am. Exhausted. Worn out. Mentally and physically tired.
Two. I am extreeeeeemely happy for winning the first aid competition. First runner up is awesum enough! And THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO HAD COME TO VOTE AND SUPPORT US: my batchmates, my seniors, everyone! We could win this thanks to you:):).
Three. Despite the super horrible deputy director, I AM SO PROUD TO BE A CJC HOSTELLITE. CJC is simply the best hostel ever. Again, I must emphasize, despite the presence of that horrible creature.
Four. I hate this holiday. This march holiday is simply the worst holiday I've ever experienced in my whole life.
Five. I wish I could recover really soon. As soon as possible. If possible, now. This very second. *COUGH* *SNIFF*
Six. I don't know why, my mood swings has been very acute these days. Perhaps because od the weather? Or the holiday? Or my period? Idk.
Seven. I can't get the song "She Was Mine" outta my head! Whoever you are, AJ Rafael and Jesse Berrera, YOU GUYS NAILED THIS SONG. The song's sooooo frikin schweet and pleasant to be listened to. And thanks to my two friends for introducing this song! Hihihi.
Eight. I MISS MY SENIORS :(:(:(. Met some of them today at the competition, talked to them, took pictures with them. Aaaaaa I miss them so much. Life in hostel without them is so different. And I just listened to the cute little music box they gave me on my birthday. I miss them even moreeeeee. Argh. Why can't they just stay in CJ till they finish JC!
Nine. I want to go back. Home. :(.
Ten. I wish time could fly even faster, to december. However, I don't want o'level to come that fast.
Let's make it eleven. I'm becoming more and more unstable. Ah, teenage years.
Twelve. I'm addicted to HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. TED MOSBY. BARNEY STINSON. ROBIN SCHERBATSKY. MARSHALL ERIKSEN. LILY ALDRIN. AAAAA.
Thirteen. Holiday's ending soon and my homework still piled up like a mountain. FML.
Fourteen. I want to go photo-hunting. Cus I feel like I'm losing all my passion. I need help. Like srsly. Immediately.
Fifteen. Tumblr's awesome. Check out mine! http://reginaekaputri.tumblr.com :)
Sixteen. I know it's kinda late, but I'm addicted to smurfffffffff. They're blue and cute!
Seventeen. 4 fingers is finger-licking gooooohd. Unfortunately, it's junk food :/.
Eighteen. I need to talk to someone. Not someone from the girls in my hostel though, I met them everyday and I need someone else. Well, I've talked to davina yesterday, and it felt good :). I need another phone callllllllllllll. Tell me when you're available okay. Anyone. Please.
Nineteen. Midyear exams are coming soon and I'm so not ready. Gosh I'm so stressed.
Twenty. How are youuuuuu, dear readers. Do share with me your random thoughts about MY random thoughts, will you! :).

SEVENTEEN (part 1).

HEY GUYS WHATSUP. Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been freaking busy these days, I can hardly breathe. So anywayyyyyy, this is my very first post since my birthday!

YES I still can't believe that I am seventeen. sounds old huh. And even though it's kinda late, I'm gonna tell you bits from that day!

People say that your seventeenth birthday is one of the best days of your life. I didn't believe them. I live in this floating hell, for goodness sake. I don't expect anything from my seventeenth bday. It's gonna suck, that was what I thought. All those dreams about having a grand party? I don't dare to even think about that. I learnt that too much expectations is never good.

However, it turned out to be a total contrast of what I thought it would be. My birthday, I mean. It was indeed one of the best day of my life. From the moment the clock ticked to 12 midnite, the magic began. My batchmates. Schlr2010. They're the bestttttttt. My roommate. Aww she was so cute! And even some of my seniors actually cared to come to the hostel. I am truly blessed to have them :'). And my best friends back from Indonesia. Their gift was so awesome I almost cried when I saw it.


I don't know how to thank you guys enough. Really.

In the end of the day, I couldn't stop smiling. Thanks, guys :').

1 Year of Gratitude (in 90 seconds)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey! As some of you guys know, I am a huge fan of Jason Mraz. He's one amazing singer. And yeah, I'm listening to one of his songs as I am writing this post now! So I read this note of his in facebook, which is about the things he's grateful for in 10 years, which he listed down in 90 seconds. You can read it here. Inspired by this note, I make this post!

But it's not exactly the same, cus I'm not that old. I mean... 10 years of gratitude? 10 years ago I was this naive little girl who doesn't even know where Singapore is located, and who thinks that the only cool job in the world is doctor and astronaut. And now? I am living in that frikin place. So I decided to shorten the period of my gratitude to... ONE YEAR.


2010 was awesome. Awesomely tough. And I awesomely survived. Well, with scratches and bruises in some places, but still in one piece. And I won't be able to do it without the help of these things. Few minutes ago, I set my countdown timer application in my phone to 1 minutes 30 seconds, and type these things I'm grateful for in notepad.


So here are what I'm grateful for:

  • BESTIES
  • scholars!
  • junior highschool buddies
  • parents!
  • sisssssss
  • cousins and aunties and uncles
  • grandma's lomie and ayam garing
  • Om ady & Tante chen chen!
  • Christmas
  • Sekolah minggu
  • CHURCHMATES
  • ROSES!
  • HOSCOMM
  • seniors!
  • XINHUI my partner!
  • schoolmates
  • Holidays
  • Skype
  • MSN
  • internet!
  • MOE for monthly salaries
  • Mum for sending reflection everyday
  • Laptop
  • Ipod
MY BELOVED 9Bs :). The best friends you could ever ask.
Some of the others are not in the pict, unfortunately.

ROSES! even though not all of them are in the photos. They're indeed a family :)

 The person on the left, yeah that's my partner, XINHUI!
 
 They're some of my indonesian classmates! Awesome people to talk to :).

 Those are my girls. We were celebrating our six monthsary! I've never thought that having sisters who are at same age with you would be this fun :).

This pict was taken wayyyyy in 2009. We may change physically, but we're still together! :).




Those are some of my fellow scholars. I remember two years ago I was worried about them being too geeky that I couldn't get along well with them. Thinking about that now, I would roll on the floor laughing about my idiocy. They're fun to be with, fun to talk to. And now they're like my second family in this hellish place! :).



Talking about having second family, I can't forget my first and most amazing family in the world. My very own parents and sisters, of course. They're awesome. Yes, now you get it where I got my awesome-ness, huh. ;);).

All those people. They create smile on my face, sometimes even when tears were on the very edge of my eyes, ready to flow down. Thanks for an awesome year of 2010 :).


Actually there are loads more that I am very grateful for, but 90 seconds is short, huh. Maybe I'll give myself another 90 seconds for another post someday!


And why don't you guys try for your very own list! Give yourself 90 seconds!



GO!

DAY 6 - STRANGER

Hello there, stranger!

Wow, finally we talk to each other, huh. The urge to poke your shoulder and say hi is rily tempting! But hey, I have manners. So here I am, talking to you! Yes, you! Any stranger doing blogwalking, perhaps. Or you, anyone I met on the street or at the mall today. Or you, who sat in front of me in the church, or maybe behind me. Errrr or YOU! A schoolmate I always bump into when walking during recess but never talk! Or maybe you, someone getting on the same MRT or bus as I do!

I'd like to say, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Maybe we'll meet again Till then, have a nice life! :)


 Lotsa love, egi.

DAY 5 - MY DREAMS

---------------------


Okay, today's recipient of the letter is kinda... unusual, huh. I was expecting something else. But phew, here it is.
---


Hi there, dreams.

I have a few questions. Why can't I choose which one I want to see tonight? Or the next night? And the next next night?

And why some of you made me want to stay in bed all day, while others made me want to get up as soon as it flashed through my mind?

Lastly, why must you be unreal? I want you to beat that guy called reality. He's mean. I don't like him. He bites, he stabs me not from the back, but right on my chest. He punches me on my face, sometimes. That hurts.

And this place called dreamland. Your city, huh? I want to be there. Can you send me a ticket to go there?

Looking forward to hearing your answers. And the ticket.


Cheers, egi.

DAY 4 - MY SIBLINGS

-----------------------------------------

Dear sisssses,

Erm. This is super awkward.

Firstly, about the fights and arguments we had. I'm sorry. I'm selfish sometimes. i'm just easily annoyed. sorry about that, kay. It's just hard being the oldest. sigh. but i'm doing my best, huh.

Anyways. This year was different. huge difference. I'm far far away in singapore, and you're back home. I was afraid that it would change everything, that we won't be as close as we were, and all that. But hey, my fear was stupid and mythical! We're still close as ever!

Here's something I'd like to say to you.

* Good luck in reaching your dreams, you can do it. Even if you fail, keep on fighting, cus it's not the end of the world, trust me. And be nice, your teachers were mine, too. Hahahahahas ;).

** And for you, little one, enjoy your life. Childhood was the awesome-st time ever. Have fun!


Yeah, it's the three of us against the world :).

I'm not saying this often, and you two know that. Emmm. I love you!


egi.

DAY 3 - MY CRUSH

-------------------------------------------------------------
(okay I decided to continue my 30 letters project. Can't promise that I'll do this daily, sorry about that. but I'll try my best to complete this project.)

Dear Crush,

It's been such a nice time of my life to know you.
I'm sorry if I had been mean or pushy or whatever once.
I've never thought that I would fall
How's your life? Having fun?

Errr happy holidays.

egi.
