someday you'll find

Omg haven't posted in so long.
Turns out my holidays were fantastic and NOPE I didn't get through with my ultimate survival plan of 7 days without Daniel, heh. But that's cos I have a BFF who's sweet and thoughtful (HAH!) and knows what to do, haha. And a boyfriend who's forgiving and loving and always ready with a bottle of warm water and a hug. And also cos I have absolutely no determination hahah.

Well anyways at least the guys (Dan & the BFFs) got some studying done and I really was only there for a while. I did my own studying at home, and all in all my holidays just flew past. I don't even remember what I did. Okay maybe I do.

Eat study eat eat eat eat eat study eat sleep eat training eat sleep.
Rinse & repeat.

Anyway so many things have happened and I don't think I should go into detail here. Well, through all the emotional/mental breakdowns, pre-competition freakouts, panicking and dreading school, there was the joy of training with the Denvers family, sleeping over with my BFFs, having them come support me, seeing everyone in school again and experiencing the joy of celebrating my birthday with the greatest and most important gift that God has blessed me with - friends.

My BFF#2 (it used to be a joke, or meant to annoy them by calling them BFFs - but now somehow even if they aren't exactly my BFFs, GFFs sounds good too. Well everyone's my BFF, really.) stole me the gigantic Cheerobics banner and I thought all he was going to do was to keep it in hostel for me and then let me bring it home when I don't have much to carry but no! He went and got my friends to sign on the back for me. It really, really meant a lot. Eugenia signed. I accidentally called her Bottie again while talking to Alex the other time. I don't know what you meant by some things never change but to me yeah, some things really never change. I just wanted you to know. (: You've got a place in here. <3

And my BFF#1 painted me a shirt! Heh, it's really because of him and his mushyness (not even to me) that we're so close now. I just found it such a joy talking to him all of a sudden and I really got to know him a lot better. Although most of the time we're just talking crap and bullshitting heh. But school life's meant to be just mindless, worryless crap!

And my ______-__, who stayed up to wish me at 12am sharp on the 18th and the 19th. Yes, dear, you were the first and last to wish me and probably the only one who bothered with the 12am thing. Other than Ada. (: And to my church friends who somehow remembered. Greg Joanne Rachel Jane. And Sharon and Xinyi. And Wen Jing. And Shaun.. And a bunch of people I wanted to reply so badly but I didn't have the strength. AND EVERYONE WHO SIGNED THE BANNER. I haven't had the chance to really look at it but yeah. I will look at it and I won't cry! It really made me happy that people remembered! Haha and David too.

It was really a special and fantastic birthday for me. Especially with the cupcakes and Daniel. Heh, it was kinda silly of me to sit outside the theatrette till my butt was killing me (ie I shoulda just gone home since we didn't do anything much after he came out) but it was so worth it, spending those extra minutes with him on my birthday. And waking up to Daniel being the first thing/person I see is always a special, happy feeling.

Yesterday I skipped school cos I didn't wanna finish chem lab on Tuesday. Ended up meeting Dan in town to watch Sky of Love which was so, so sad. I realise we never actually watched a sad movie. Total contrast to our first movie together hahah, Hot Fuzzzzz! Did I tell you I really love Daniel. Heh cos he eats yummy food so I get to nick them. Like yakitori hahah and THE MILK TOAST FROM ST. LEAVENS IS SO HEAVENLY. Hehe and the cranberry scone - I really like it! (: Got a raspberry cream cheese brownie from brownie factory. Sucks, really. Okay I'm going to give them one last chance to redeem themselves next time when I try the fudgey one. If it's not good I'm never gonna eat from there ever again. (Though the brownie cheesecake was pretty good okay.)

I'm so proud of myself for not getting Venezia heh but I FINALLY GOT MY MCFLURRY. Had it during the movie. Cookies & cream yaaay. Haha and Dan and I were like trying the Hokkaido ice cream. Okaaay we're spoon stealers.

And ice cream today with Hari was like THE BEST. I had a veryberry (cos there was NO APPLE PIE ICE CREAM!!) and cookies&cream at first with a slice of brownie and apple pie. The berry one wasn't that great.. Wish I'd gotten strawberry sorbet instead. Dunno why I didn't, probably was too blur. Hari got burnt caramel (which I like cos Dan likes (: ) and blackforest (which wasn't fantastic.. it tasted kinda alcoholic). Then he decided to go for seconds cos this was his dinner, so he got a sundae which was 2 scoops of cookies&cream (it's REALLY GOOD), 1 scoop of reverso (I still don't know why it's so popular) lots of chocolate fudge and a MOUNTAIN of whipped cream. And by his influence, I got another scoop of cookies&cream in a cone. Bad choice. Cup for me next time, messy eating Jo.

I think cookies&cream ice cream has got to be the most sinful / calorie filled ice cream flavor. As in honestly, I don't think there's a more fattening flavor haha I mean Oreos on their own are already so fattening. But it's SO GOOD I can't believe I never liked it till I tried the sweet cream & cookies at B&Js. Then again, all I ever ate was strawberry, strawberry and more strawberry and the occasional mango. I'm glad I don't need to worry about fattening stuff HEH.

Then we took a picture - I hope I didn't give Hari too big a heart attack by asking the pretty island creamery lady to take the picture with us. And then we got it printed AND clever Jo left her memory stick in the printer though she remembered it right before leaving. Thank goodness I remembered on the bus though. And the traffic was kinda slow so I was only 2 stops away. Ran across the overhead bridge (yeah right, I can't run at all now that I lost my leg muscles) and took a bus back. Was panting like crazy but there it was, still in the printer that looks like a bread toaster. I'm so thankful. It was like I was back in Shanghai all over again, when I lost my camera. Sucky feeling. :(

Then to get rid of the sick/empty/in-shock feeling and while waiting for Dad and Mom to pick me up for church visitations, I got myself another scoop of cookies and cream in a cup this time with mini M&Ms with a brownie (just cos it's so dirt cheap) and sat down and calmed my nerves. Yup. And Christ the King and Holy Spirit were selling Sweet Secrets' hot cross buns 2 packets of 4 for $5. Mom gave me money to buy heh YAY. And she gave me more birthday money. -in shock- Love her. :D

I'm going shopping with her on Saturday cos there's finally no training for once. I meant to dedicate this weekend to studying for Stats and Bio, but well I need some time off with my family too. Heh. Yup so that's my life since my last update.

There's just been so much going on hahah and I said I wouldn't go into detail. I really didn't, or seriously this post wouldn't be so short. Everything was fun but hahah well the funnest was still the sleepoverrrrrr+Vivo. (:

I LOVE YOU DANIEL!
I know you find blogkeeping silly and dumb and I seriously have no idea and am too scared to find out / remember what I've been writing in previous posts. Don't take anything too seriously if it's not a nice thing! Hahahah. You know I love you.
