just like home

:) G8 is probably the highlight of my 2010, with so many precious memories and joyful moments. i've never felt so at home, with that crazy bunch of screaming people, sweating and smelly together as we walked to parade for our final lunch together as students of Taylor's College. i don't know how to put everything i want to say in neat paragraphs so this really is gonna be just everything i feel, in it's messiness. :)

i really love how we sisters can tell the bros all sorts of embarassing things about us, that all our inside sister jokes have become known to them too. :) i've never met such an incredible bunch of guys who laugh with us about monthly friends, peeing, boys toilets, hulk, unspeakables and so much much more, things none of us would dare to tell other guys about. hahhaha, i remember how when we talking about something stupid that ladylike girls should not discuss in public again, wen shi said, "ohmygosh, you guys better not say that in front of other guys man." hahha, it's kinda new to me, this sort of trust between all of us, and it feels really nice, safe, just like family. :)



i love how the bros chest bumped today, and shouted all at once that something was gonna be legendary. it was so funny, it made me laugh. hahha, :D.


i love how adrianna 'let' us do the hair removal thing on his hand today. but i gotta say man, veet hair removal cream works WONDERS. :P i only wish we could have removed ALL THE HAIR! :P it's sweet how we always tease you and call you a girl, but you never really minded (i think ;P). i remember you teaching me about cars and how i could never do the adrian look no matter how hard i tried. but you'll always be one awesome BRO to me! :)



i love all the encouraging things sean writes. :) with his DEEP DARK MYSTERIOUS past in VI that he will NEVER reveal to us, i believe he's more to a tough guy persona kinda thing. but around us, you let your guard down more often than not, and it's always nice to see that you, the real you. i love how you still have such inspiring, heartfelt things to write to us even though you don't do high fives. :D (but i got a high five today! it was legendary! hahaha.) thanks sean, you're gonna be an amazing person one day, you already are to me! :)


i love how only hsing hwa would layan me today when nobody else wanted to go for my birthday celebration. all the rest of you, =.= (sean face)!! hsing hwa said, "we'll do anything you like for your birthday! :D " i always find it funny how when we're doing something stupid (again), you'll look over and give us the HUH/WTH/YOU GUYS ARE SO WEIRD/MILD DEATH STARE look, then smile your huge hsing hwa smile that always make us smile back. :D i'll see you on my birthday iguana! :) thanks! :)


i love the cookie gene gave me today! it was yums! gene, when you're not being mean and giving me the gene face, you always say the nicest things. i remember you telling me how i'm gonna meet someone awesome one day, and how i deserve better in life. :) and i'm really gonna miss the way you keep saying the WRONG thing to me, and always making me give you the death stare. haha, but it was a good year, and i've had an unforgettable time being your friend. :) i'll see you at prom! :D SUIT UP!


i love how ian laughed as well today when elena said "say sime darby! sime darby!! :P" ohmygosh that was so funny. i didn't get to write in your winanga-li, but i'm glad that i'll be seeing you at pangkorr! :D be prepared for even more screaming and crazy girls then! :P you always answered all my questions and taught me the things i didn't know, thanks daddy teng! :)

i love the human centipede chain we made today as we wrote on everyone's backs. i cannot help but feel like time has passed so quickly. this is the ultimate cliche line, but today it seemed like all i could remember was our first day together, and it seemed like we just zoomed to today, accelerated past the previous months and somehow it the end already, right before our eyes. we started off the english game by talking to people one on one, being so super shy and writing on each others backs so politely. today the scene was so different, with everybody screaming COME HERE!!!! and without even talking to the person, we know what we want to write already. the paper we all got was so much messier, meaner in a sentimental way and heartier. i loved that about today. :)


and of course to tai kor, i love what you wrote in my winanga-li! hahaha you talking about me as a younger sister and me talking about you as the big brother i've always wanted. don't disown me as your sista when we part ways okay! promise! :D it was so sweet when you randomly said to me today let's take picture, especially since i was wearing the LONG LONG dress. hahah. i know i can always trust you for anything and everything, thank you so much tai kor, for just being yourself, and accepting the responsibility of dealing with the troubles of all us younger sisters of yours. i think i've already told you most of what i wanted to say, so i'm feeling the writer's block now. :P well you know i treasure our friendship loads, which is why we're gonna watch MEGAMIND for my 17th BIG GIRL birthday right???? ;)



but more important that just the bros....

i've gained many new sisters this year, that always made me feel like a star! or just really irritating. i love how much we shout at each other, and call each other irritating and scream that we hate each other, because everything we said was the total opposite of how we really felt. :) it seems like the more we shout "i hate you so much!!!", the more we actually love each other, and value this friendship that's so unique.


i love the way prisc wore such a beautiful dress today WITH HIDEOUS PINK MISMATCHED SLIPPERS. i was so irritated by you la! my sister likes to say "oi leng, moi meng" which means want beauty, don't want life. HAHAHAH but being chinese, i know you understood that already, didn't you? :P i love how we're always trading stories that start with "OHMYGOSH YOU KNOW WHAT ELENA JUST SAID?" and the rest of us have to go peee first, or swallow our food first to make sure we don't explode while hearing about the next funny thing elena teng did. LOL i'm actually laughing now thinking about that time in cassian kitchen when we all went "stop stop I HAVE TO SWALLOW MY FOOD FIRST BEFORE ELENA TALKS" :P and i will never forget how as bad your taste in shoes is, your taste in food in WORSE! well i kinda like citrus plus la, dunno why the rest don't, but MED, and NOT DIM SUM! LIKE EWWWW! you're so irritating, but i love you a lot. :)


i love the joke we made a while back, of how if elena ever got caught by police for driving at night, she'd be in big trouble if they thought she was drunk, cause no matter what she cannot walk straight. :P good memories, that! :) i love treating you like my human drawing canvas, writing all sorts of nonsense on your hand, AND FACE. but elena teng, HOW IN THE WORLD DOES MY HULK LOOK LIKE A ROCKET/MAN FARTING??? =.=". you put a smile and an unstoppable laugh on my face every day, for being so irritating by whacking my head EVERY DAY, and also for being so amazing as to take care of your 'children' all the time, making sure whoever hurt us will not get away so easy. thank you for holding my hair when i'm hot, though involuntarily, screaming at me the whole time that your life isn't that sad. thanks for always giving me that elena face, the one me and mich get scared of after twelve midnight, cause that's when the hulk arises. but above all the jokes and stupidity, thank you for being a friend i love so much. :) you always cheer me up when i'm sad, and lend me money when i'm broke, and say really nice stuff to encourage me and laugh with me, even if it's at yourself, just so we're all happy together. :) i love you!



i love the way mich gave us a FREE SHOW today when we really REALLY didn't want to see it. and outside subang square too! sigh. tsk tsk mich! but you looked pretty in your shirtdress! and i really love you for what you just did a few minutes ago, i'm really really proud of you mich! :D you know you're much better than that. and us sisters will always ALWAYS have your back, even though you're such a traitor and ditched us to be a bro. A PIRATED BRO. you know how much you mean to me mich, and i was really touched to read your message in my winanga-li today! thank you for every single irritating memory we have of each other, and you better be there at my birthday woman! :D i writer's block for you also already la, wrote too much in your book dey, hehe. :D HUGS AND KISSES for you!!! :)


i love how lilian chew looks in a dress!!! HAHAHHA, first time in my LIFE i saw that today! :D and you were really beautiful, inside and out! :) crazy girl, i never heard you scream so much as in these past few days. you're always such a joy to be around, i'm so glad that today our 'look up in the sky' plan worked! and also our 'joshua!!!!' plan. LOL come to think of it, all our weirdest plans are YOUR ideas. :D thanks for that! our lives will be so uncrazy without you. :) no one could ever replace baby teng! i also love how you were/are so funny! cannot believe you forgot your winanga-li then used a full scap paper to get us to write our messages for you on. :) did you paste it yet??? :D you are, and will always be, my favourite hainan monster. :D i love you loads lilianteng! <3
