IT'S GONNA END! the world's gonna step into 2005 in around 36 minutes more.
a recap on what i did today- met mark and shu at wheelock's. we were supposed to buffet at sakae's but the manager informed us that they weren't offering buffet for today. made sense, judging by the crowd inside and the snaking queue outside. aiyah, basically the mood was very tense and awkward and to cut the many drama scenes that unfolded short, we decided on lunching at swensen's. the baked rice was good as usual, mark had cheesy beef burger which was equally delightful. and the awkwardness slowly but surely dissipated... we then walked around, window shopped for bags, watches, wallets and clothes. but i didn't try anything on because it was crowded everywhere and it didn't really make sense especially since i wasn't intending on buying anything jst now. trained home with shu. had a barbeque over at my grandma's. they boought a cake and sang a bday song whilst i was reading in the room. i totally forgot my sister's birthday's 4 days away :/ it was good seeing my grandparents. as the years go by, i'm seeing less and less of them. which is bad, since they raised me up everyday for 6-odd years.
enough of today.
let's begin an insight on yesterday..
october, november, december.
i've got no more energy to continue. (i began from january all the way here) hahaha. it's already 3, i've been going at it since 12 and somehow it's so... void of emotion. sorry, descriptives were never my forte.
september.
emotions similar to our defeat of RI were stirred up as we beat scc on the 4th of sept. it was a must-win game and we didn't disappoint.
september 4th marked a very important milestone for mark. a happy day, i remember. heh. don't give up. stress stress stress.
august.
hmmm. i dn't have a link for august, i wonder why. i just remember more matches for src and obs at the end of the month.
july.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_07_01_zulieee_archive.html
hmm i started july rejuvenated. i started really wanting to do well and i'd have to say it started out well. i started training with src on tuesday and thursday nights, continuing my love affair with the Padang. hurms. i played my first ever Div 2 club match against bedok kings. one to remember, definitely. cos it was my first time playing at sentosa ( i didnt even know there was a pitch! ) src trainings are great and i play with a bunch of awesome ruggers. very gifted and the very best at the sport. playing with them, the ac guys especially has made me a better player and definitely more confident as well.
and of course, who could forget the 24th of July? the magical night. (: the night i still reminisce about with awe and fondness. kindred spirits was... undescribable, really. being out there in front of 700 pairs of eyes, to be caressing the keys, the notes which i grew to remember with such ease... the richness of the violin and the cello.. the harmony in sound.. i'd do ANYTHING to relive that night. i wna perform next year. i'm either gonna try emceeing or playing "cristofori's dream" it's a haunting, revolutionary piece by david lanz. new age. (: and so for this night alone, it made up for the rest of the shit that happened in july.
june.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_zulieee_archive.html
the wedding by nicholas sparks was superb. one of the best novels i've ever read, really. taman negara was fun. but it was marred by a stupid misunderstanding with sheer. that we're not even talking face to face till now. stupid stupid trivial misunderstanding. aiyah. lltc was a great experience too, the st pats guys were an eye-opener. it showed us the other side of the fence, in a way. but it was all good in the end. my group kinda had a funky mix of people.
may.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_zulieee_archive.html
ha. may was depressing, albeit it being my birthday month. fast rise, fast fall. but as i said, it's fine. i mean, some things happen to teach you certain lessons. and i sure learnt alot. i failed five subs can you believe it. after that i told myself, "zul this is it. you wake up your idea today" and i did la. which was good. failing 5 was the lowest point of my academic life in SJI. it wont happen again. unless someone sweeps me off my feet and drops me the next month again, la. haha. i got a jockstrap for my birthday courtesy of mark nigel and jon. buffeted at hyatt with them on my birthday night. hell fun. playing the piano too. whoosh. i seriously hope my 16th birthday this year would be memorable. guys make it fun okay.
april.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_zulieee_archive.html
as compared to the previous months, april's archives was twice more. something exciting, something fresh, something new was in my life. and i was ecstatic about it. ha. april's our school sports day. very exciting period too, the heats and all. i enjoyed it. the only major trick that was played was by Mrs Lajendar on her 407 class. immediately after everyone settled into class after assembly, she sent them out to the first level field. the whole class. looking damn serious as if they're being punished or something. then, she unfurled a vanguard sheet saying "April's Fool" haha i thought that was good. SJI's B Division concluded the Police Cup '04 with victory over RI of course. it's one of the best games i've played and the satisfaction at beating them.. it was like no other, really. zonghao of all people scored the solitary try. fantastic game. (: one that i'll always remember. and so it goes. i found someone who knocked me off my feet, someone who made me feel complete. very apt at that point of time. the friendship was blossoming quickly. too quickly, looking back now. but i wasn't gonna push it away, definitely not. i needed someone new in my life and she came at the right time. 9th april- taka, pastamania scotts, creamy chicken and marinara, forum, toys'r'us, coffee bean, kiwi strawberry. enough said. no awkwardness, things were very easy-going. thanks to yusof and mun who were there as well i guess. 10th. mark's birthday! triple fudge brownie, 190, cck, tuition. 100m finals. then, it was the best two days i had. many more to come. aiyahh. to cut a long and happy april short, it was fun. and memorable. and it thought me alot of things. the things we did, what we talked about would always remain etched in my memory. but nothing more. why remember the bad, when the blissful moments were enough to last a lifetime? thank you. hours and hours on the phone with school the next day. talked to ashley more, realised how amazing that guy was. solving problems and all. basically fun stuff, us doing weights, talking etc. thanks ash, really. sports day was great, breaking the record for 4x100 was wicked. yusof burnt the track man. but i guess next year onwards' gonna be a much tougher fight. no record, but the gold's enough. april concluded with jersey girl and a rather uneventful day. the beginning of the end. heh.
march.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_zulieee_archive.html
hahaha. we beat barker. and my entry was apparently kinda controversial and definitely pugnacious. but ohwells it was written in glee as it was a hard-fought win. we celebrated nigel's birthday in style. it didnt really go as planned, but it was smooth enough. we sang his birthday song at the paragon rooftop to conclude that day and yeah, it was indeed a joyous occasion. memorable for him as well as for us. just one of the many activites zmni jvi did together to strengthen our bonds of friendship. the march holidays was forgettable i'd suppose? i dn't recall much save for the trainings that we had. hmm oh YES! the scc 7s. that sparked my love affair with the Padang. hah. i love playing 7s, especially scoring the tries. hoho. i loved it, it really bonded the team. which consisted of basically the core members of the team, both backs and forwards. aaron, khidir, joel, myself, russell, john thio, mark, javier, kann and shaun. sji vs sas. this match never fails to garner much attention. it's always been a clash of epic proportions, basically. we were deadlocked till ten minutes into the second half. one player single-handedly let down the whole team. one player let it 3 tries, all scored through this player's running lines. with this loss, our dream of reaching the finals just disappeared into thin air. months and months of preparation meant for nothing. SJI, again, were destined for the 3rd&4th placing just like every other year before them. just cos of that one player, who didnt tackle. who somehow, screwed up. it just shows no matter how motivated or fired up you are, you can still suffer from lapses in concentration. i reckon it was a day that player wanted to forget. he teared after the match. hard. and buried that day till today. as this player who let the team down recalls that dreadful day. it's thought me alot, and i'll never let the team down like that ever again. ever. i got to know this girl whom i fell head over heels for. my first conversation with this girl lasted till 2 am in the morning. knowing this girl gave me a whole new definition for "sizzling chemistry."
february.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_02_01_zulieee_archive.html
i was kind of lovesick or so i thought at the start of feb, hence the song "all out of love" the emptiness left by d was starting to kinda sink in. but of course i eventually came to terms with it. there would be many occasions to follow where i'd feel really out la, especially when everyone around me's involved with a special someone. but one of the things i've learnt is that, this so called lovesick feeling is nothing more than a phase, lasting not more than a few days or weeks. training is as intensive as it could get. i hosted the rugby barbeque and it was great, most of the B Division were there. Javier and Mark slept over that night, drinking Jack Daniel's and a Corona. hahaha. we had to smuggle the bottles out of the room the next morning :/ reading back the entries in feb and jan, i realised that there was a certain spring or positiveness from me which i cn't sense now. the difference would tell after april, i'm sure. heh. i recall the RI game. haha we lost to them marginally. but well, it was a match to forget and i had distractions off-field too. oooh. CHARLOTTE was there. that, i recall. haha. we had dinner at junction8, jav shu jan and dalun. mel jo were there too. after that, we went to novena terrace and hankypankied there. hahahaha. a.... 5-some? eeyer. heh i already had some problems in february. very... tumultous.
january.
http://zulieee.blogspot.com/2004_01_01_zulieee_archive.html
i recall writing a long entry as i am intending to write now, exactly a year ago. and i don't know what i pressed but it just disappeared. being a doo, yes char i hear you. ha. the first day of school remains hazy but i recall it being very quiet. but of course only for the first day. every day that followed developed into a place that could rival any wet market around.. complete with the ah mois haggling for vegetable prices, serious. through it all, i was thankful for yusof. he was the sole reason that prevented me from going insane in a class which i totally didnt fit into. i shudder at the prospect of going through sec 4 next year without him. knowing him really made life happier and all. we were really close la. but as alicia keys says, "what goes up must come down" and like all good things, something happened and things deteriorated. but things are fine now, although the same kinda chemistry can never be rekindled, i'm thankful nonetheless. i "escaped" from the disdain i had for my class by playing and training even harder for rugby. i liked my new teachers though, very warm and they seemed really sincere to help. i took quite awhile to accept tracy goh but i soon realised she's very very patient and yeah she's a great teacher. i recall being in charge of sec101 for the secondary one orientation camp. it was good, i guess. the guys were damn small la, haha. all in all, january like all the previous januaries, are very hazy. nothing more than orientation stuff, and getting used to new environments etc. i hope i'll start this january on a great note, and everything else can fall into place
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(zoo/rugby dilemma) in you, i find many similarities which i can really relate to. and it's such an unspoken joy whenever i speak to you. but we're practically laughing every other sentence, please. i'm overjoyed that i've finally found someone who's able to give me a daily, regular dose of endorphins. haha. definitely we wont be able to have the same kinda madness and fun once school starts, but it's been a holiday to remember for sure. we wont drift. thanks char, for everything. good luck. dn't ever let anything deter you from dance or whatever. you're a really confident person so go out and do your thing okay? sexy ass? haha. looking forward to seeing you at my matches.

love, all.
a recap on what i did today- met mark and shu at wheelock's. we were supposed to buffet at sakae's but the manager informed us that they weren't offering buffet for today. made sense, judging by the crowd inside and the snaking queue outside. aiyah, basically the mood was very tense and awkward and to cut the many drama scenes that unfolded short, we decided on lunching at swensen's. the baked rice was good as usual, mark had cheesy beef burger which was equally delightful. and the awkwardness slowly but surely dissipated... we then walked around, window shopped for bags, watches, wallets and clothes. but i didn't try anything on because it was crowded everywhere and it didn't really make sense especially since i wasn't intending on buying anything jst now. trained home with shu. had a barbeque over at my grandma's. they boought a cake and sang a bday song whilst i was reading in the room. i totally forgot my sister's birthday's 4 days away :/ it was good seeing my grandparents. as the years go by, i'm seeing less and less of them. which is bad, since they raised me up everyday for 6-odd years.

CHARLOTTE- what have we here? -looks around. it looks like.... bull poo. i've saved the best for last okay, honoured? haha and there you go starting to dot me. it's been..... phenomenal having you around during the holidays. glad we kinda got closer. the jokes, the taunts, the gossips. goodness, i shall refrain from such feminine indulgences starting today. haha. when things looked bleak, you were there. (zoo/rugby dilemma) in you, i find many similarities which i can really relate to. and it's such an unspoken joy whenever i speak to you. but we're practically laughing every other sentence, please. i'm overjoyed that i've finally found someone who's able to give me a daily, regular dose of endorphins. haha. definitely we wont be able to have the same kinda madness and fun once school starts, but it's been a holiday to remember for sure. we wont drift. thanks char, for everything. good luck. dn't ever let anything deter you from dance or whatever. you're a really confident person so go out and do your thing okay? sexy ass? haha. looking forward to seeing you at my matches.
and so it ends. 4 hours of this. and i'm not satisfied. i havent been able to portray what i'm feeling. many things i havent written down. but then again, descriptives, eh? haha. goodnight. it's 0415. i'd better get some rest. homework day tmr.
