PMR results!

Got a straight seven for PMR. :D

All thanks to God, not just for the results but for being my strength in the entire process of studying. Thanks for giving me the discipline to keep on going; for the drive to do my best; for my fantastic classmates. Yeah. All glory to Him! Without You, I'm nothing. :)

Thanks to the parents for not heaping pressure on me and for not bribing me with rewards and for accepting my best effort as enough. My utmost gratitude. :D And thanks to the uncle and aunt and kid cousin and grandparents for all the unwavering support! *high fives Andrew again*

And a big fat thanks to the big fat bro for teaching me *cough*. :)

I've heard stories of horror classes in which everyone is so kiasu that no one wants to teach anyone else, because they don't want others to end up being better. Knowledge hoarders. -.- But 3M has been an amazing class to be in! Everyone was a teacher in their own way. Everyone shared everything they knew, and our class did heck well for PMR. I think all our A's are a more of a collective effort than an individual one. 3M forever!

And to our dear PANIC gang. CONGRATS LA PEOPLE I TERSANGAT PROUD OF YOU ALL. It has been such privilege and pleasure to coach you guys, because you were all so willing to learn and work hard. Whether you got a seven, six or five, I will still congratulate you and I'm very very proud of you. The improvement you guys made was aweshome pawsome and I'm so so happy for you! And I know you guys gave your best. :D

So there we go. See how many people share in one success?

It's not my own. :)

Christmas Party - Naomi's

Naomi had a Christmas party at her house yesterday. :) Ann and Ash crashed at my house for awhile before we headed off to Naomi's.

Pictures will talk! :P Sorry if the first few are a bit jumbled up -- Blogger screwed me up a little.

Even though we *cough* fight, SEE we are so loving. xD

Eric carved out the Olympic rings in the ice cream! Lol!

Naomi's uberadorable and friendly dog, whose name I can't spell. :P

Bodoh people steal my phone and take stupid pictures at my house.

Let's Get it Started

I actually got my butt moving for holiday homework! :D

I've reached tamadun Hwang Ho. Great. And I'll be having just about a million more pages to go.

And I've got the incomprehensible English work. I still don't understand what to do.

Plus Math.

Plus Science.

Plus... I forgot the rest.

Plus ISKL.

Plus NST.

Plus piano.

Plus wrapping Christmas presents.

SEI LOR.

Cutlery

Dinner was chicken chop, salad and fries.

Halfway through my chicken, I realised I had been eating with two spoons.

I looked over, and there was Dad eating with two forks.

=D

Steph/Shirley's Christmas party

Steph and Shirley's Christmas party yesterday! :D

We had to go practice for caroling first thing when we reached there. Charles, Charles *shakes head*.

Anyways. Sis helped to serve me some food, and HECK she filled half of my plate with deep-fried stuff. I don't know if that's supposed to be a good or bad thing. Haha!

Oh, there was like, a whole bowl of Lindt chocolate. I nearly died (in a good way, of course)!

The adults watched some video and we all lepaked inside. THEN STEPH BROUGHT OUT MARSHMALLOWS AND CHOCOLATE FONDUE AND I THINK I DIED AGAIN AND WENT TO HEAVEN OR SOMETHING. :DDD Happiness on a stick.

Then Howard fed layer cake to Nikita. Aww! Adorableness.

The party was one of those freaking days where I explode in laughter at the tiniest trigger. Not good, not good.

Charles: Shh... we must sit here and look as if we're not having fun at all.

Hannah: (explodes and laughs uncontrollably)

That's an inside joke la. xD And there were many more similar incidents of laughing. =.=

Next up was caroling. :) We were all pretty sluggish after the sugar rush hangover, but it wasn't that bad la. This Charles ahhh, *shakes head again* his songsheets are always hilarious. 'King of Angels' became 'King of Angles'. But even then, we'd already laughed about this before so it wasn't thaaaat funny anymore.

Suddenly... the old giggles made an unexpected return -- during our performance itself! Uh-oh. The Soulmate started smiling and stopped singing, which triggered me to giggle. And that triggered her to giggle even more, which made me laugh. And the rest is history. What a laughfest. The whole song was spent trying to stifle laughter.

After caroling, we just lounged around again. :D Soulmate and I fed each other cake. Awwww. :)

And yeah. That was it, I guess. :P

Hello.

Hello hello.

It hurts bad.

It hurts more than anything.

The state of mind is disturbingly unstable.

Sometimes I just don't feel like laughing, but I do anyway.

Going through the motions of fun with the heart shredded to bits.

God, be my strength.

Love

Love is easy when you love others based on what you get in return; tough love is when you love others for who they are, regardless of what you get in return.

Most of our relationships fall into the first category. You love and are loved in return. You give and receive. It's easy.

But tough love?

It's looking beyond others' flaws and hurtful words and tactlessness. You love and are not loved in return. You give and you don't receive. I guess it can be pretty draining.

And I know that I've been the object of tough love for many years.

Sorry.

OSH Party

OSH party yesterday! Wheeeeeeee. It was at Smelly's house. :)

It was an extended family reunion for Soulmate, Zen and I. People must've thought we were crazy, what with the group hug in the crowded hallway. Lol!

We started off with dinner, which was pretty yummy. Some little Korean boy spilt Pepsi on my foot, but I forgive him because he was oh-so-cute. :D

Then we had to do caroling at the very last minute, and craaaaap weh I started hiccuping in the middle of Joy To The World. =.= Haha! Life is unfair.

Us young people then went out to the pool for games by my Malay twin brother. :) IAN QUEK. The kind of games we played... *shakes head*. Haha! Guess what? We actually played the freaking Burn The Carbs game from YLDP, no joke. *laughs weakly* But I had a very yeng group. :D Eric is a talented gobbler and face contortionist. HEH-HEH.

Zen and I found a super adorable young frog on the way back to the house. If only she'd kissed the frog, it might have turned into Charles dear. *winks*

Haha. Umm... that was it I guess! :)

The Piano Tuner

The piano tuner was supposed to come at ten in the morning today.

But he decided that the unearthly hour of nine was good, so he came as he wished.

So there I was, eating Koko Krunch for breakfast, with the cacophonic DUM DUM DUM on the piano.

I really couldn't stand it any longer, so I listened to music on my phone, full blast. And everyone knows that when you listen to music through the headset, you have no idea how loud you're humming along.

Mum: Hannah why are you humming so loud? Trying to compete with the piano tuner is it?

OH THE LULZ. Funniness.

Hello there

Hello hello. Readers of my blog might know that I occasionally write dedication posts for certain people. :D

This one's for Ruth.

Let's keep it short and sweet. I just wanna thank you for caring all this while! You've been right by my side when I most needed someone to be next to me. And you were there during two very very important bits of my life this year... heck, make that my life. :P

I know I haven't been very committed to resolving certain things *wink*. And I've failed miserably sometimes. But you've really helped me through it. It's a lot better now... I hope. You did say that it's just between God and myself, but you know, sometimes a middleman helps! :)

Thanks for dragging me aside at camp and letting me cry all over you. HAHA. Sorry for the wet shoulders! xD It was a relief to let everything out. And just having you around was encouraging enough.

So then, have fun at NS!

Anddd... I hope you find your happy. I really do. :D
