this week's been a really tiring week with tests and night classes. im really tired but i've gotta move on. i havent finished my revision and im really scared. its not been a good week,im feeling worse than ever. im trying to stay happy cos it wont help if im grumpy. chem test today didnt help. it was the worse ever.fear is getting the better of me. buck up girl. move on. im not feeling good either cos my sister's leaving on monday for canada to study. she's gonna be away for so long. and she's been the closest person to me in the family. i've grown so much closer to her that now when she leaves, the room will feel empty, something will be missing in my life. she's been my source of laughter and sharing my unhappiness. at home, its her who brings the laughter into the family , the one who never fails to perk up everyone. now that she's gone, the house will be so quiet and i will be all alone, but at least i still have my bro. but i will miss her as my room mate, my friend, my confidante, my punching bag, my dearest sister. the past exam we've been studying together, encouraging each other esp during my chinese o's and she was studying for her exams . i did well and so did she, getting on the dean's list. i will remember the every moment we spent together just poking fun at each other, deciding on what clothes to wear for mass every sunday, and shopping together. i will miss the car rides that she gives me and everything, waiting for her to come home if she comes home late so i can talk to her and all. i was just talking to her today and she was telling me that she regretted applying for overseas trip because she will definitely feel homesick. well, that really hit me deep inside and hit me real hard that im really gonna miss her alot. i've been avoiding that fact because i just didnt want her to leave. but now its really time for her to leave. monday is the day where my life will take for a change and her life too. i realy hope this period of time will pass quickly. i cant wait for the day where i will go to the airport to pick her up.sigh..

anyway to u che: though sometimes i may be annoying and spoilt and rude, but i really dont mean it. i really love u alot and i willl miss you loads. the whole family will. these 2 days are really precious. its my last two days where i can see u and then i wont see u for a really long time. but thanks che for everything.love u loads!

alright had national day celebrations today, had mass celebrated by father ambrose vaz. rather nice mass, it was fun at the last part. anyway yepp, then after sch was prefects' general meeting ! my general meeting for the year which marks the end of my term of office as head prefect and me being in the council. it was a really sweet gm. yepp, lined up all the prefects in the hall and awaited the new council's arrival. they all knew the results already so it wasnt so surprising. but anyway yeah then council 05 started the gm which followed by the presentation of gifts and badges to the new council. (: then thanked the sec 4s for everything. its kinda sad that they're leaving and so are we. yeah then danielle brought in the birthday cake for alicia! congrats!! i guess the school gave u a big birthday present by making u a councillor! (: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! yeah then new council continued gm. followed by presentation of gifts from them to us! yeah then i also gave all the sec 4s letters which i wrote ! spent a really long time writing the 24 letters!

well, im sad to leave the prefectorial board but im glad the new council's taking over cos i know they'll do a good job. the board is in good hands i know. this one year has been a tough and long one but i;ve learnt a lot on the way to my final destination. i've seen tears shed and heard laughter and im glad to have gotten to be in the prefectorial board. thank you mrs tan aye leng and class 2/3 for voting me in. without u all, everything wouldnt be possible. my 2 years in prefectorial have led me to meet so many nice pple. they've made my life in ij a million times nicer and really left me loads of memories that i will caryy withme as i leave ij. though my stay in the board has been short but im glad to be in it nonetheless.

i wanna thank the sec 4s for everything. u all were the ones who journeyed with me throughout my entire 2 yrs as prefects. most of u have been in the prefectorial board longer than i've been and u all really taught me a lot. u accepted my weaknesses and helped me through whatever problems i faced during my term of office. my friendship with each one of u has grown trememdously these 2 yrs and i really treasure it. the friendship shared between us can never be found or made elsewhere in class or cca. its like one big family ! yeah the badge that we wear every day on our pinfaores doesnt only show that we are prefects but it shows that we are binded together by a bond because we all believe in the motto" noblesse oblige" . we've come together to serve the school, to have fun together, to share all our joy and pain together as one. we've had our fair share of fun times and sad times. i'll always treasure the laughter and joy each one of u has brought into my life. the 24 of u are a great bunch of prefects and great friends. thank you so much sec 4s for journeying with me. although we're going our separate ways but im sure when we see each other on the streets, we'll always remember we once belong and will always belong to the ij prefectorial board! love u all !

had our final council meeting today and all 7 came which is kinda rare. but anyway yep glad that we've eventually ended up at the final destination together.yeah met the new council for lunch. it was really fun talking to all of them! (: im sure they will make a good council and bring the board to greater heights. im confident that they were well chosen and that every single one of them were chosen because of that special talent in them to improve the board and to bring everyone to work together to achieve a common target. yeah ate at pasta mania then went around ps to shop for their presents while they also went off to shop for our presents for the handover on monday. monday is the day where we will finally relinquish our positions as a council, im not glad that we're stepping down, but im glad that a council who is really capable is taking over us. i know that the board is in good hands (: yeah then went over to toys r us after much deciding then went there and we couldnt find the seven dwarfs!!! haah we were all tired by then so we decided on something on bought it then off we went, our separate ways. yeah anyway to the new council: the new journey will get tough and many obstacles will come, there will be obstacles that might make some of u drift away but it depends on the friendship and the trust between the 7 of u that will make u all stay together as one council. treasure your time in council and enjoy your role as a councillor, thats what makes it worthwhile being in the council. (: and to my council of 2004-2005, the journey was tough and we have drifted apart because of the obstacles and problems we faced, but im glad that we've finally managed to sort out everything and reached the end together. i know there were a lot of problems between us and we all said mean stuff to each other and all but we;ve managed to solve everything and come back together as one council. im proud of u all. wanna tell u all that my journey in the prefectorial board wouldnt be the same without u all, u've helped me a great deal and i really had lots of great memories organising and planning everything with the 6 of u. thanx a million. i know our friendship has definitely strengthened during our term of office. from mere acquaintances we became friends and at the end of the journey, we became friends that shared our problems and joy together. to the six of u thank you so much. (: siti marianne kenli elaine cassie shermeen

alright i'll blog more on mon. its handover time. its time to let go and move on petrina.
