My whole idea of what a relationship "should be" has been shaped (tainted) by how I've experienced it for 2 whole years that right now I really don't know how to react when things are done so differently. Is this how it's like to feel "special"???????

..............And exactly how long will this last?

26 April (Sunday) 

Met Mav again for the umpteenth time this week to watch Avengers cause he fan boy?????? 

We were both craving for burgers so we had Everything With Fries for dinner!! I had the Satay Pork burger with BBQ fries and it was quite shiok de???? The garlic fries were quite nice too and a whole set was only $11.90, which I thought wasn't too bad hahaha 

I tried to eat as ladylike as I could possibly can with a burger (which Mav found amusing lol idiot) and I think I did pretty well............ EXCEPT MY LEFTOVERS didn't look very ladylike at all HAHAHAHA SIAN?? Thank goodness we walked around quite a lot so bye fats bye calories :-(((( 

And because I don't even shop and he clearly doesn't either, there was nothing much to see at Bugis+/Bugis Junction so we headed to NLB (۶•̀ᴗ•́)۶ 

L: I showed this to Weiling and she was like "OMG NERDS WHY ARE YALL LOOKING AT PSYCHOLOGY BOOKS" AHHAAHAHAHAHHA ok ok ok ok ok can 

R: Also there was this really really cool "First Homes" exhibition outside of NLB which Mav and I spent quite a while exploring!!! 

We also found this giant thing with all these drawers you can open and there are all sorts of nostalgic displays!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO INTERESTING and one of the cabinets had these old school biscuits that you can actually take home?????? For free????? The inner aunty in me was very pleased to say the least hahaha 

Thanks organizers for placing a stool there so that short people (me) can reach the top cabinets like the tall people (him) 

Maverick was just showing me the old Singapore coins that he had in his wallet at dinner, and we saw the whole range of them at this exhibit too??? BUT YA IT WAS A REALLY FUN TIME HEHE

"Were you laughing at me?" "No, I was just thinking about how endearing you look"  

"It's important to understand that anxiety is not bad or toxic. We can't stop anxiety. It's unpleasant, and if we don't attend to it properly, it can harm our health. But it's not anxiety that's the problem, it's how we respond to it that can cause us harm. 

We can become anxious about being anxious and can get caught up in a spiral of increasing anxiety. But the only way to make it go away is to face it. To face anxiety is to say, "Anxiety is there, and I'm going to allow myself to experience it and feel its unpleasant sensations as much as I can tolerate, because the only way to heal anxiety is to go through it. By not resisting anxiety, we make room for it to pass away and for a sense of calm to return. Accept it and allow it to be there."

17 April (Friday) 
TP Olympiad day!!!!!!! Where all the schools in TP come together for a mass sports day la basically

"wait wait I don't know how to smile properly"

With Dan Dan ((who was my first ever EC in TP HAHAHAHAHAHAHA))


Heading to Jalan Besar Stadium via public transport with my GLs!!!!!!!!

and omg yes I actually went up in front of everyone and started dancing with a few others?????? Which is something I've never imagined myself to be brave enough to do but it was a lot of good fun (and exercise) :-)))

With my crazy buddy in Manax, Nabilah :-)))) It's like every time we want to cheer or dance and do ridiculously outrageous embarrassing crazy things, we will simultaneously look at each other and do it together :''')

Also by dancing I just mean a lot of shaking and jumping la HAHAHAHAHAHA




With Debbie and Irwin (who's graduating s0bs)


Florance and Ernest (from Radho)!!!!!!! And a bunch of our freshies LOL


One of our freshies, Verena, gave all of us GLs this and a friendship bracelet?????????? Which was so nice of her omg??????? :''')


Probably the only picture I took of HSS competing in the actual Olympiad LOL

BUT GUESS WHAT GUYS HSS ACTUALLY WON THE OLYMPIAD CHAMPIONSHIP???????????????????????????????? AFTER 7 YEARS OF NOT WINNING ANYTHING AT ALL, WE FINALLY WON.
This year, the committee decided that we weren't going to aim for any prizes already unlike what we have done the past few years. There were a lot of politics and all la, so we just didn't want to involve ourselves and our goal for this year's FO was just to focus on what's actually the most important; taking care of the freshies.

So I guess it was a HUGE surprise when we ended up being the champion of the TP Olympiad :-))))))))) It's like the championship was only ever awarded to the 2 biggest school in TP, Engine and Business, so the smallest school (aka HSS) just never ever aimed for the championship, because it seemed so impossible y'know?????

But guess what, we did prove to the whole of TP that HSS is small, but mighty.
I didn't expect myself to cry because idk????? But seeing everyone, especially the graduating Year 3's start crying made me cry too and it was just a really really really heartwarming and happy moment for all of us la :-)


LOVE ALL OF YOU OMG HSS ONE BIG FAMILY :'''''''')


With our HSS president, Wee Liang and the trophy!!!!!!!!!

One of our HSS cheers has this part that goes like "We will win the war, we will win the war"... And after our debrief, we all simultaneously changed the cheer and said "We have won the war, we have won the war" together???????????????????????? IT WAS SUCH A :''''''''''''''') MOMENT LA SIGH

Maverick from Yera, who are the people in charge of the games!!!(๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و


Florance from my Manax :-)))
The first person I ever talked to and not someone I thought I'd become close to... But I'm glad we did


Another Manax GL debrief with a lot more crying??????? :-(


Hehehe my NabzChubz


AND THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So so so so so so so glad I decided to take the plunge and go for the interview, and that the committee let me be a GL despite HOW NERDY (AND NOT HYPER) EVERYBODY THOUGHT I WAS :''''''')

Coming to HSS was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and this Freshman Orientation really proved my point even more.
