Bye Year 2007!

Finally, the last post for this year! It's been a wonderful year and it's really nice to have encountered so many things though some of them were kinda tough.

For the approaching year, I really hope that everything will be fine. I have no idea what I'm embarking for the coming year. To be honest, I'm scared but I don't know why. I'm afraid that I'll lose something in my life.

Family and friends are assets that will never depreciate. They are the best assets in our life as their values will only appreciate, some say that they are too precious and priceless to be measured in monetary value. Yeah I do agree, but do you realise that the remaining time we can spend with them depreciate from day to day?

Since we were born, we are growing up from day to day. We are being taught in many approaches, in hope that we can live a life of our own without safety nets. We assemble with different people at different stages of life; and we get by with different people from time to time. For any reason, whether for the sake of work or studies, it's true that we'll have lesser time to spend with our love ones.

I crap a lot huh? Haha anyway the thing is, I really hope that all my family and friends (including pass-byers, strangers, everyone!) will be safe and sound, and the most important is to be blessed with happiness. That's my new year resolution. I hope that I'll be a better person from day to day and the year 2008 will be a blissful one!

The last thing I'm going to say before the clock strikes twelve; and before Cinderella runs off.. BYE BYE YEAR 2007!!

The First Time..

It's about the end of year 2007. Somehow I wished that I could linger in year 2007 and never proceed to year 2008.

It's been an exhilarating year. That's the best word to portray I guess. The year 2007 is the initial point of everything since the end of secondary school. I've done a lot of things that I've never expected. It's really awesome and I'm really glad that I was given a chance to be part of everything.

For the very first time..

I've been to National Service.
I've survived and still alive for the military training, obviously.
I've experienced how is it like, to be away from home.
I've learned that I couldn't live without my family and friends.
I've made my parents proud for the very first time.
I've attended interviews. Loads of them.
I've attended college for the very first time.
I've comprehended that I'm a big girl to be on my own.
I've doubted my path and I'm still doing so.
I've joined CGS, and I'm glad that I was chosen for sub-committee.
I've became one of the committees of CGS recently.
I've met a lot of great friends and I enjoyed being there.
I've been given a chance to join Encore.
I've been one of the Business Directors. (Love the name!!)
I've learned the realism of the real world out there.
I've undergone the process of making an event a success.
I've enjoyed college life though it's tough.
I've enjoyed every fraction of my life.

I've slipped but I have my family to grip on.
I've cried for quite a lot of times but I'm getting tougher every time.
I've vowed that, I'll be a better person from year to year.

Slipping

This semester doesn't seem unwavering to me. I've slipped. It's up to you whether to believe what I'm saying, but it's true.

I did not perform well enough in coursework tests. Final is around the corner and yet I don't feel convinced at all. I'm not aspiring to be the top student or the best of the bests. I'm not those type that want to be perfect in everything but..

I just want to be the best of me, best of Val.

I don't know why but I'm aloof from the word "gambateh". It doesn't carry anything but more and more pressure. Ridiculous right? This is me, the real me. In case you don't know, I'm not as good as you think. I'm not genius.

I'm slipping and I don't know what I should say. This coming exam is not what I've been anticipating for.

Is it that hard.. to be the best of me?

The Downpour

Sarah was the first one to reply my mail. Next is Teen Chun. Later on, I received a sms from Peter all the way from Singapore asking whether KL was raining or not because Singapore was raining. haha how cute he was! He even said that the clouds were moving to KL soon.

I wonder what is wrong with the weather these days? I'm kinda lazy to bring umbrella to college. Hahaa~

You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

*Hum*
*Hum hum*
*Hum hum hum*
*Humming away*

Last Day

James Blunt giving out his autograph for his "fans". hehe^^

Queuing up.. = =

Too excited to get his autograph.. LOL

(Where were the others?)

I looked kinda yellowish in the picture. Aww~ Wish I had SE W580 with me.. Haha~ Ignore me. =p

Today was the last class for this semester. See that guy standing behind me in the picture? He is James Blunt. Haha just joking! His name is Andy. He came all the way from Leicester, England. He is a soft-spoken guy which has a radiant smile on his face. His smile enlightens the room he walks in and not to mention, he's cute! Hehe~

It's really nice to have met you guys at British Council for this semester. (I'm saying the same thing over and over again at the end of every semester) Oh yeah by the way, Peter said that I was talking with American accent when he first met me and these days he realised that I'm more to Britain accent. I was like.. what?! Did I?

Haha anyway, love ya all so much! Thanks Andy! Take care and hope that you can pick up Cantonese well in Hong Kong later. Guys, keep in touch ya.. =)

I Wish I Was

Whatcha' doing tonight
I wish I could be a fly on your wall
Are you really alone
Still in your dreams
Why can't I bring you into my life
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive

[Chorus] If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I could just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait...I already am)

Saw your face in the crowd
I called out your name
You don't hear a sound
I keep tracing your steps
Each move that you make
Wish I could read what goes through your mind
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life

[Chorus] If I was invisible
Then I could just watch you in your room
If I was invincible
I'd make you mine tonight
If hearts were unbreakable
Then I can just tell you where I stand
I would be the smartest man
If I was invisible
(Wait...I already am)

I reach out
But you don't even see me
Even when I'm scream out
Baby, you don't hear me
I am nothing without you
Just a shadow passing through...

Kepada Cikgu Suzana

Kepada Cikgu Suzana,

Dah lama tak bertutur dalam BM, kekok sikit. Rase semacam aje..pelik. Ade perkataan yang tak dapat diperkata, macam nak "replace" dengan BI. Maaf ya~

Dah setahun. SPM tahun ni dah berlalu, Wan teringat detik-detik getir semasa menghadapi peperiksaan tahun-tahun lepas. Tempat ini merupakan tempatku berteduh. Adelah.. kenangan-kenangan manis kat sana. =)

Baru-baru ni, mungkin sebab tekanan dan terpaksa bersengkang mata setiap malam. Ada kalanya Wan mengangis. Entah kenape, mungkin sebab dah lama tangisan tergenang kat kelopak mata. Haha, macam budak kecil aje..

Kebelakangan ni, Wan dah belajar banyak perkara. Cikgu tau tak, ade perkara yang kita tak dapat capai walaupun berusaha sungguh-sungguh. Tapi kite tidak putus asa kan? Realiti tidak seperti yang kite jangkakan, ia amat menakutkan.

Wan rindu tersangat kat cikgu-cikgu kat sana. Teringin nak jumpa Cikgu Jaabar sangat, sedih bila terdengar cikgu dah bertolak ke New Zealand semalam. Setiap kali bila Wan hadapi masalah dengan pelajaran, kotak fikiran Wan akan melayar kembali ke masa dahulu. (terlupa pulak perkataan "vulnerable" dalam BM..)

Memang gembira bila jumpa dengan cikgu hari ni. Riak wajah cikgu yang memancarkan kegembiraan telah menenangkan hatiku. Terima kasih cikgu..

Wan janji akan berusaha bersungguh-sungguh, takkan menangis macam budak kecil lagi. Wan akan menjadi tabah. Terima kasih cikgu!!

Kasih daripada Wan

End of Encore!

Hey Cornelius, our logo is too nice already and I couldn't resist for not putting it in my blog. Hope you don't mind yeah~^^

Somehow I miss Wednesday, I miss Encore! I miss Encore's meeting at L106 and Canteen 2. Strange..but I don’t know why. =)

It’s really amazing how things had worked out eventually. The night we’d been anticipating for such a long time finally came true. Well yeah there are some flaws but still we made it through.

What are you doing in Encore? Do you sing in choir society?
Why are you appearing at almost everywhere? – by Miko

There was a week when everything collided, in a disquieting manner. Career Fair, Encore 2nd P&P, coursework tests and assignments. It was tremendously tense when everything clashed. I felt like collapsing during that period. I know that it wasn’t a remarkable epoch that ought to be remembered. (Well most people think that making fuss of something ridiculous is nonsense)

To spectators, it doesn’t carry any weight. It might be unfathomable and silly, but it means a lot to me. Really thanks to everyone for always being there for me. If I were to have a chance to turn back the time wheel, I think I can perform better. You know, whenever people talk about Encore, I feel honoured to be part of the committee. Really hope that Encore will etch in everyone's mind and Encore will rise again next time. Go Encore!

We want more! We want Encore!

Anyway, let bygones be bygones. It is not possible that time can recoup the past but there is always a chance.. which is to grow up and be the better person. =)

Encore! 2007

We want more! We want Encore!

The ultimate finale of Encore Night was taken place yesterday. When the emcees proclaimed the ending of Encore 2007, everyone was elated in euphoric state. Well done everyone!!

I remembered that I was utterly surprised when I received a message about Encore. Since then, a lot of things altered. I didn’t expect that I would involve in Encore. As I wander back time, the journey was exhilarating and as well as grueling.

It aint easy to hold an event. A barely discernible slip-up may blot the event no matter how superb the event is. Everyone is fundamental to make an event a success. Especially financial constrain, nothing seems possible without financial support.

In the eyes of spectators, it is easy and fun. People can’t see and comprehend how hard it is to organise an event. At first, I was very naive to deem things are okay as long as we work really hard. But I was wrong, in house panorama was multifarious and it was an arduous journey. But somehow, I’m glad that I’m part of the team. =)

It's weird but the tears started to soak my eyes.. haha silly me! It’s really nice to have met ya all. And thanks my parents, my friends, everyone! Really thanks!

Thanks Encore! I love Encore!
