so sorry for the lack of pictures. will really post them up one day...
pics of yog, prac and real day and even teachers day.....

tuesday
teacher's day celebration! was in school early.... well, 7... went with sheryl to put the cake with the drink stall people! thanks! then went to the hardcourt... talked... had duty. looked like a normal day, with some speech by mrs wong for teachers around the world. and caring teacher award was given out. ms sim, mr dill, mr stephen ng, mr francis and idk who is the last teacher. oh, it was be yourself day! didn't wear h\ome clothes, uniform will do. :) then it was almost time to go up, when lady gaga's song, bad romance played. and the teachers danced!! not everyday that you see teachers dance! haha! so nice of them! looked nice! okay, so class time... draggy day. history was free period, just counted our ca2 marks. yay! then chinese just got back worksheets. recess was normal. was going to walk to the chem lab when happened to see twin and jenisa in the canteen! got hyper! :) talked to them. took pics. went outside the chem lab, then followed jenisa to the staf room. saw mrs rajen along the way back, and her face when she saw jenisa! shocked, happy! okay, so got chem test back. why can't it have more percentage? first time doing so well for chem!!!!! didn't start lesson on time. talked to twin for a while, and jenisa, outside the science lab. went through the paper. bell rang, and we were dismissed like 15 min after the bell rang, which is 20min earlier then whe\n our lesson was supposed to end. went to the canteen with karthika and sheryl to get cake!

saw jenisa and twin there! got the cake and other things, went up. had fun with them! class was arranged already. tables and chairs to one side or the back and food in the middle. talked and talked and talked to twin and jenisa! miss them so much!!!! :) waited for mr ng to come. then they had to leave.. :( so walked around, ate some stuff. finally mr ng came. was outside the classroom and so waited with nasuha, no, was with nasuha to stall mr ng outside! haha! a bit weird. and mr ng kept telling every teacher that he was not allowed into his class. some sec4 girl said it was justice! mrs leong was so funny! didn't want to go to her class! then alicia and sheryl came out. alicia went to bring mr ng around the classroom block or something like that. got the cake, nasuha carried a poster. and was asked to go upstairs, 4th floor, then 2nd floor, finally into the class where mr ng was going in and the class sang happy teacher's day!! so nice!

really begin eating. there was jelly, cupcakes, sushi, doughnuts, hotdogs, bread, biscuits, chips. a lot of food! great party! mr ng got 'splashed' with cake cream! :) disapppeared for so long! then he came back and we all settled down to watch the powerpoint sheryl did for our class and mr ng. so nice! :) except the unglam shots!!! haha! but it was a memory of the whole time we spent together as a class. 3a, 2010. efl, racial harmony day, house practice, yog. all the memorable events that we took part together. thank you 3a, for being a wonderful class.

packed up, left for home. took 100 with meiyi. talked about a lot of things. reached home, and really slept for 3 hours or so. so tired. woke up, did a bit of work, then called up a lot of people. anyway, there will still be a chance to go out again. and you're sick, do take care of yourself okay! health is very important. called shareen, talked for 1 hour plus. back to the days when we would talk so many times a week, each time for more then an hour! end of p6, sec1 life! remember last time when my mum would say, 1 hour already, 5 more min okay! then we would continue talking, until mum slept, and realise we talked for another half an hour. those were the good days. :) thank you! :D oh yeah, 3a, hope you all enjoyed the cake!!! :)

today
got up early. wished several teachers happy teacher's day! called mrs mok. miss her! is there a happy coach day or something? hahaha! didn't talk long, mum was bugging me. but we did talk about some things. hope you enjoyed today! take care okay! went for tuition, that's why was up so early. came back, da yi ma came. was so happy and hyper! ate lunch, played monopoly with her. she won! as usual! haha! then studied and did work. slept at 6, woke at 8. had dinner, did more work. okay, got to go already. so happy today. and for the past two days.
(we talked on the phone twice. thanks for answering! <3)

sunday!
usual sunday. tuition, then tuition, then rest. see clearly what change does to someone. now i'm of no importance except as a tool right? interesting..... anyway, went for macs for dinner. drive though, then ate at home. wanted a car ride! yay!

monday
finally... school!! scared could not wake up in the morning. woke up a little earlier then expected. went to school, morning training. didn't do much. sat around for first part, then semi d. sorry, didn't keep to the 'doing the normal basic drills'....... shooting was okay considering how little practice i've got. any way, won't matter any more. and yeah, hmmm.... can't change just cos you think so. no one will control again.

so today felt so weird, after not having school for so long.  well, its one week. but it felt so long. maybe cos enjoyed yog so much! pe, didn't do much, just sat and talked. hehe. brought the standing broad jump mat up. so heavy! 3 people, not enough. we unrolled it, then carried up. lit was okay. got back test, source based. well, did well. :) history, copied corrections till hand pain. test, didn't do well at all. but overall should be okay. looks like humanities are going to top this ca2. recess...... eng was boring... really really boring. amath test, careless mistakes! oh no! lost half the marks already, first page gone! lunch.... bio, was relaxed. spa skill 3, just design an experiment. then can go home!

bought something for 3a tmr! hope you all enjoy it! :)
so the past two days... have been thinking about yog.... the song is stuck in my head.
oh... another one... you are MY HEAVEN!(song from big bang, my heaven) let me hear your voice

so friday
slept late... around 2am? or later. had to bath and then blow hair dry..... woke up around 10.... had breakfast. then went back to sleep. woke up again around 2. lunch. then went online. to upload pics. facebook hanged and hanged. took a long time! had to slowly upload, a few at a time. was online for a long time. talked to a few people! :) and watched our performance online. we weren't even in the papers and our performance was cut! irritating! went off, had dinner, then went online again. later in the night, talked to you. thanks for going and taking the pics. and thanks for talking again. so was online for a long time, couldn't sleep. ate noodles around 12am? haha! was watching 2 days, 1 night, and the food looked good. ate with dad. then went to sleep arounf 2.30.... slack day. had a lot of rest. tired out. need to recharge after the day before, especially after my body gave a telltale sign... *sigh*...

saturday
woke up around 10. not too bad, considering it was a late night. studied a bit, did math, but no mood... watched the yog closing on tv. at least they showed the full part of our performance. went for tuition at tiong, then came home. was so tired again! even after so much sleep.... gu gu and her friend came! yay! then came yi yi, yi zhang, yi en! had salmon! <3 nice dinner. thanks mama! went to the room, turned on computer. both of us. and disturbed yi en on msn.. hehe. we didn't talk, just typed on msn. going out to watch step up 3d with her! and 2 of her friends. might bring sha along! yay! so they left early.. :( slept late again! well, got tired of the comp and tv, so watched harry potter and the half blood prince around midnight. slept after watching... which is late! considering how long the show is.

i wish you knew, well, maybe you might suspect, but i'll never get a chance to say it, or it will spoil other things. you mean so much, but i am too scared to say it. 26 of august is a day to remember.

olivia and mrs de, thanks for the good luck messages.
alicia, do take care of yourself okay!
nasuha, don't worry! its all in the past! take care!
so, 26th of august, yog closing ceremony
started the day very early. woke up around 7, got ready, reached school by 9. was so tired.... went to the hall. sat next to a. just last minute instructions and a video clip on our yog journey. from the start, till the end, what we did at the floating platform for rehersals. nice video. realised that a lot of things were edited out. we learnt a dance that never got in the formation. the one with partners. learnt the rose thing which also never got in the formation. and the rectangle, with the word respect, also got edited out at the last minute. so sad!

mr francis talked to the leaders. when we went down, 3a was already on the bus. looked for the bus! haha! mr francis took the bus with us. mr ng and some other teacher(chem teacher, idk her name) too! sat with tina, talked and talked. heard music and before long, we reached. seemed so fast. last time we all took the bus together. got off at some place and had to walk a long way to the f1 pit, the area where our bags and other stuff were. first class there! so we walked and walked and talked! had to go through security check. tina got stopped! haha! then walked to the room.

sat down, waited for the other classes to arrive. had english songs at first. started singing, dancing. dance with nasuha to the song baby-justin bieber. then came the korean songs. lies by big bang. that song make sme think of you. haru haru was played too! wedding dress by taeyang, wished that we would not be like that. got high on these 3 songs! lots of other songs was played too. change to purple shoes. didn't wear sock any  more. don't want another pair of white, purple, pink socks! we walked to the platform for our last rehersal.

didn't carry anything, just walked. reached, did run through. more of the circle, whirlpool. then ran through several times. tiring, and hungry! walked back. so tired! heard more music, had lunch. nice food! sleepy! time to sleep and rest! mr francis went to ask teh dj or music person to play sleepy music and he did! there was one part where the music was long, dragy, to let us sleep!!! nasuha and i slept a bit on the chair. was tired, but didn't want to sleep. wondered around. had a look at this year's chem prelims. ps, not nerds! just nothing to do! took pics.

then it was time to put on makeup. sat with yoges, nothing much to do. left and queued up. the queue for mrs gan's makeup! the way she does it is nice! foundation, eye shadow and blush! looks nice. thank you! took pics. oh, and suddenly netballers were called to have a team shot. so we had several team shots. two with ms mok, one with mr francis, two with mrs francis and ms quek. so funny! we were supposed to go there, crowd round, take pic, then rush off, but we took our time. haha! had first pic with her since we first met. next time, smile okay! and first time we got a pic together! jacob, abigail, yoges, trisha and me! yay! finally! thank you all! took more pics, then went to sit down. was tired!

finally told to get half into our costumes and eat dinner. dinner was good! put on costume, touched up makeup, got headcap ready. took our head gear and globe and off we go! got a bit nervous, but still felt a bit tired. contacts didn't help. eyes itching. so we walked there, hardly talked cos was tired. waved to athletes, well, a bit. didn't wave too much or get too hyper. some got kind of... despo? so walked and walked. took a pic with some person.... not sure who. reached the platform, smiled at some of the audience. some athlete, smilled then jestured for the globe. said cannot give! haha! using hand actions! ran down the stairs as teachers said to hurry. got to backstage, sat down and waited. athletes went out to the stage and went backstage to where we were! omg. okay, didn't talk or take any pics at first. only at the triangle then said hi to someone... and some british said good luck, and hit hands before going out.

didn't actually feel scared at all. in fact, felt normal, like its just another rehersal. so when the curtains opened, just ran as usual. there was this mist. quite nice. had to have a smile stuck all the way. a bit hard! haha! but possible. the whirlpool was okay, bird was okay. dance steps was okay. the bird was clearly seen. the wave could be seen. the heart was okay... looked a bit off though. star, well, could not find the point at all. was scared of looking down cos might have cameras zooming in from idk where. so just followed people, lost! haha! didn't look bad at all, thankfully. the words were really sharp! good job! ran out, through g2, then went to g1 by the back. lined up, had a briefing, went up. danced and danced. hit into a few people, sorry!!!! dropped the cap once. hehe. and someone asked if there was going to be any more fireworks, said idk... couldn't see many others from where we were, only tina and nasuha. so danced, and took a pic with some guy.. his dad i think, asked us to take a pic with him. so we did.

coming down was hard. so many people trying to get out when the announcement was already made to say let the athletes go first! saw kim , so just pushed downwards when people were coming up! kim, tina, nasuha and me thank you to those who made way specially for us. went right to the bottom. got out at the gate, thankfully cos a helper there said performers could go through. went down, turned back, couldn't see any one else. panicked, cos lost thought lost them in the crowd. but knew tina was behind me. finally, she came out. then turned back and asked where is kim and nasuha. couldn't find them. had to move in to g1. smiled at some of the audience.

just got any random headgear and hat. couldn't find mine. walked back from floating platform to f1 pit. was hyper. said goodbye and goodnight to everyone we met. even the athletes on the bus. we as in karthika and elspeth too. walked off after a while. croatia people are tall! some athlete had our headgear and was wearing it! how he got the headgear was a wonder! walk, walk, walk, went up to the place where our bags were. teachers were at our seats. (mr steven ng was at mine) so just took off costume at the side, then put just stood around. one part, she asked, why don't want to sit down, then just pointed to the seat and we started laughing! haha! okay, anyway, sat down in the end, rested. could keep everything except the globes. the head gear is not mine, just took any one. not even sure if it fits. had ice cream!

packed up, brought the chairs up and stacked them. didn't help much, sorry. cos some reason, didn't feel too good, tired i guess. so lined up in twos. those taking night transport back went to the back. went to the toilet. guess it was too much, couldn't take it any more. went back after feeling better. went back with the 2r girls. not enough space for everyone. why squeeze so many people onto one bus? stupid!

reached home, bathed, slept around 2 plus. so that marks the end of one major part of our lifes. thank you.
btw, globe became gloob then glove then gloab!
190 hours, 27 training sessions, 6 months from march to august, all down to one day, one moment, 4 minutes of fame on stage. so many things have happened since we first knew about yog, since we first started yog training. things changed.

thinking back, a brief summary of our journey
march-when it all began
thank you for a wonderful birthday and gifts. leaders had dance training. had our first training during the hols. party, birthday.

april-trainings on thursday during school hours
more trainings. formations, dance moves, mudy school field. all the muddy shoes after that!

may-yog training at mandai for the first time
had real markings now, instead of dirty field!

june-training during hols
went back for yog training on the first and last week of june. 3 times each week. got most of our formations and dance steps done.

july-yog trainings late into the night
had trainings on tuesdays and fridays. trainings on tuesday ended around 7 plus except for the first training where there was not enough buses. fridays ended around 9. went to platform once.

august- last part, and the end
last phrase of yog trainings. long hours, ending at 10 plus during the last two weeks, with hbl on some days. even coming back on sunday for a rehersal. and finally, the day itself.

everything was worth it. the time, the effort, the sweat, the tears.
thank you for being with me for some parts of yog even after things happened.
tina, nasuha, ayilisha, thank you for 'finding me when no one else was looking' and accompanying me for yog. had so much fun and memories with you. would have been lonely without you all!
thank you for looking out for me
3a, thanks for being such a great class during yog. will never wish for a better class.
finally, thanks to the school, parents, organisers etc for making letting us be a part of yog closing ceremony and for making this even possible!
so happy that it was a great performance. well, from the start to the end, after everything, it looks alright. so thankful that was able to finish the whole yog journey even after what happened towards the end.
~and to you, i wonder if you know it. don't break my heart. ~

going to miss yog alot.....
