Being broke causes depression.
Are you depressed today? Cos I am! :(

Resilience
Resilience is that boring word EVERY SCHOOL uses so often it gets so irritating. But today, resilience meant something different to me.
Today marks the first day out of the 2 day resilience workshop obviously in preparation for 'O's Mrs Chow gave us her personal definition of resilience and shared with us her life story. Its so hard to believe someone you look at everyday goes through this much of hardship as well. It was touching yet funny at the same time because I was thinking abt how I wld look like 20yrs frm now. 36yrs old! Imagine if I still look the same when everyone has changed ._.
Afterwhich we were split into 2grps and I was in Mdm Lalita's grp with the other e.geog/pure geog students. So she started to share with us her life story and the funny events she encountered when she was in Cresent Girls'. After which she told us the problems she encountered and she told us to share some of the problems we as students are facing.
And that was it.
She called me first and suddenly I began to talk abt this sensitive issue I hv NEVER told anybody Not even Allan, SPF or even my parents. I burst out into tears even before I cld complete a sentence. Of course its inappropriate to talk abt the issue on the world wide web so I'm not gg to, but I think today when the teachers open up to us it just hits me on the nerve and this issue which I've been keeping in my heart for a good 6yrs just brought me down. I've never surrendered to this issue or even complain abt it directly to my parents or anybody else I trust cos I feel its a complicated matter and its no point discussing it.
But stil I managed to explain my situation in abt 5sentences and I kept sobbing. Mdm Lalitha took over and explained what I said and she gave me a choco :) I heard some claps, I didnt know who but thank you :)
After which more ppl started sharing and they too broke into tears. People who didnt share their stories teared as well. Today's lesson taught me that although everybody comes to sch to do the same things, when we return back home, we unknowingly are facing the same problems as well. Today I learnt that its easy to put on a mask and live everyday but its even easier for just one person to tell you their story and hit the nail on your head and send tears flowing. People I've known for 4yrs whom I alrdy hv an impression whether good or bad changed my opinion of themselves 180 degree and when they tear my heart goes all out to them. Broken familes, sibling rivalry, parents' expectations they all make us stronger and knowing that our peers are facing the exact same things as us makes us closer and more understanding to one another.
Thankyou all 14 of you who were in Mdm Lalitha's grp with me today. You all made a difference with your own life stories and when I want to give up I'll think of all of you and how we should focus our energy on 'O's instead of the other problems we have in life!
God Bless all of you :)

NEW!
Sooooooooooooo, I went out with Felica last Saturday!
It was real funny cos we weren't that close to start with yet with Twitter we became closer :) Jio her out for shopping the previous Sat and thr we are! Took the train down to Dhoby Ghaut and I asked her alot of my qns on the usual JC/Poly thing. Thankq for the advices dear girl :) Headed down to SMU aftermath as there was a flea! She spent close to 100bux thr and even bgt a gift for G'dine. Mickey & Minnie plushie :D So nice of her right! I bought a military shorts , fake nails and a cute ruffle dress. Both are in dark colours but Idc, they rrly look nice and worth buying!
Afterwhich we walked all the way to Bugis to continue our shopping hunt! Shopped around Bugis and I bgt a bag. Feltz wanted to do extensions for her fringe and I was being bored so I asked if I cld try on the curls one. And y'knw what, I fell in love with them the instant they were clipped on me and I knw I'm so gonna get it! After hesitating for some time, Feltz and me found Milly's and I was thr getting my hair curled and the extensions were clipped on me like *zap!*
I've never had looooooooong hair before so this is kinda new to me. I've been so jealous of girls with long wavy hair but I knw I'll never be able to achieve tht. So thankq Milly's for making my wish come true :)
Went over to Haji and we camwhored with my new long chio hair ;)
Went to meet Mum aftermath when Feltz had to go for work and she kept calling me a mermaid :s Mum continued shopping and I headed back home first!
Cant stop admiring my lovely long locks :D
Met Baby and he said I'll look nicer if my hair was abit shorter :((((((((((((((
But, WHATEVER BABY! I LOVE MY HAIR MORE THAN YOU :P
Its obvious which was taken by my laopok phone camera and my darling Cannon -.-
My loots! :D Imma happy girl!
Gna try another new item this coming CNY which is fake nails. I've always only painted my nails but those cute nails imported straight from Japan were too cute for me to resist so I bgt them! Gg to the nail palour to get the exact same thing done wld have cost me over 100bux so I think fake nails seem like a better option!
Somehow I feel like I'm becoming into someone else because of all the "fake" items on me. Extensions, nails, eyelash :s Urgh.
Anw something random to share:
Shafiq gave Baby a photo and guess whose in it!!!
ME! :D
Obviously I'm the one on the right and Shafiq's on the left. Apparently I do not rmb him AT ALL! Sometimes I wonder if I've rrly grown physically or not. Everyone everywhere seem to stil recognise me after so long -.- For the fact I didnt know Shafiq till when I was in Secondary says so much abt me changing!
Till next time XO!
