New blog song by Beyonce!!


HALO
Remember those walls I built
Well baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
Woah...

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo)

Halooooo ouuuu
Halooooo ouuuu
Halooooo ouuuu
Ouuuuu ouuuuu ouuuuu

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo
I can feel your halo (halo) halo
I can see your halo (halo) halo

Dear Orange,
i simply love this song so so much. Great song to emo and to dance with. I love the choreography for Lumos. For every single songs we are dancing to.
Next Friday's going to be my very very last dance performance ever. I doubt il ever get to go on stage to perform anymore. Il miss dancing alot ALOT.
Dance made me grow.
The pain, the sweat, the joy, the teamwork, the scoldings, the compliments, the tears..everything i've been through since secondary school till now. Although i may not be a great dancer like many others, it is a fact that dance has been with me for more than nearly 10years now. Im so used to dancing that to stop doing so will be hard. Well..but my passion will never die. Hip hop rawks! So do contemp. So do chinese dance. And i wanna learn belly dancing.HA.
Alright..so im gonna put in my all for the final performance next friday. My parents will be there to..so yea! JIAYOU!=DD

Alone, is such a good time to emo. The going is gonna be tough. But brave souls like me dont give up. I hope il keep staying healthy forever. U too, my friend!=)

with lots of love,
cjiam

Dear Orange,
this will be a very visually appealing post. Haha..Geography fieldtrip to Kuantan/KL is awesome!!!AWESOME!!
Well..the photographs bring you through the whole 4days 3nights the 34 of us, with the 3 teachers, our tourguide, Auntie Molly and our belovet bus driver, Mr Siva has been through.

14/3/09, 6.30
We gathered in school and headed off to the immigration checkpoints. It was a really long busride before we reached kuantan..
Along the way,

At Johor..



look at sheryl!

3 plus in the afternoon.
Arrived at Teluk Chempedak Beach.
U must ask the people around me. I was exclaiming and bouncing up and down with excitement!! I really wished this place is my home!! The crystal clear water, the white sandy beach, the blue sky, the comforting breeze and the occasional shouts and laughter from the families pinicing by the beach..I felt this strong sense of dejavu.







pretty right!!=D





The granite features we saw there.



We're really engrossed in our very first outdoor geog lesson with ms ting!=P


a very faint but beautiful rainbow=)






A few group photos!


An hour later.
We arrived at Batu Hitam Beach.





Full of basalt rocks. Our hair=messy.

Can u see! The wind was terribly strong. But i love it alot!! If i am light enough to be blown away..then i can fly!

Dinner time


We dined at this local restaurant by the beach side. I love the food!!!!!!
Especially the toufu!! I LOVE TOUFU TOUFU TOUFU!! Me, Laoda and Waner got super high after eating it!! Its the best iv ever tasted!! Soft and hot on the inside, crispy on the outside together with the layer of unknown ingredient on top of the tofu. It is totally irresistible!!

After dinner, checked in to hotel.
While Sheryl Sim catch her beauty sleep, I went to Yuexi's room to play poker cards with the Yannqi, Liwei, Weiqiang. Then we went down for a walk and me and yuexi ended up at Ross's and Waner's room. Chatted till 2plus am. Went back to my room, talked to Sheryl for awhile, then fell asleep.

15/3/09, 7am
Sheryl Sim was buzzing like a bee beside my ear. Hhaha..she took 15 minutes to get me out of bed. So we were late for buffet breakfast. YUM!! I LOVE THE FOOD!

8am

Visited the abandoned quarry site. Was drizzling the whole morning. I love the rocks!! The features are damn cool can!!=D





We climbed up the rocks!!

10 plus.
Climb up and down the cave was extremely treacherous. A major crisis in this entire geog trip!!It was pouring plus there were really strong winds. All of us were clinging dearly to our umbrellas as well as the railings because the steps were really steep and slippery. Im glad we made it up!! I love caves! Hhaha..i still remember my dream to become an explorer when i was young!!=DD




cool right!!

Arrived at the river around 2pm after having chicken rice on the bus. I had fun with my group trying doing all the measurements in the water. HEE!! And the riverbed felt like natural massage for our feet because of the coarse quartz stones=P


I couldnt balance!! Hhaha..me and Laoda made a fool of ourselves!

Debrief back at the hotel LOTUS ROOM lasted for 2hrs!
But it was worth it!! We managed to map out the whole river with the combined effort of all the 6 groups!! We were all jumping for joy!! Even Ms Ting got really excited!! Hehee very very happy!!=D




Anywae, we were all starving. Finally got to eat buffet dinner at around 9pm. That was really late dinner for me!! I love the fried rice and curry!=D

After dinner, went Lim's room with Waner and Ross. Camwhored quite abit.






16/03/09, 6am
Had a hard time waking up. Hahah..i realised tht my dear roommate is not only an early bird, but also a v patient person. How inefficient can i get!!
Buffet breakfast again. And as expected, i ate ALOT. Shant elaborate. But i love koko crunch with milk=)

Setted off to KL.

12pm
Went up the Merdeka tower. Hmm..the view wasnt as splendid as i expected, but it was really interesting to observe the urban structure of KL city!!



The overall view from the fourth tallest building on earth.


Me, YX and ross


THen it was time for the visit to the lower income housing.
My group got to interview this tamil family with 4 children. Banu and Liyana did a really good job!! Basically, the house is quite rundown, poor security and sanitation. Also, the river floods every month into their house, with the roof leaking everytime it rains.. Somemore they were having difficulties with their finance and the govt is doing really little to help.
BUT BUT, they were all really contented with their life. When i ask them whether they're happy, all they said was that as long as they have each other, they're satisfied enough.
I was so so touched. And so very happy for them!! I hope the little girl will really grow up to be a doctor!! Then she can help to bring the family out of poverty!!:D

Dinner time
Dinner was at Hartz Chicken at Merdeka square. All the girls were super efficient and for the first time, finish our food faster than they guys. Guess why?? Coz it was shopping time!! HAHA!!=D
Me, Sheryl, Ross and Elvin were really superb. 5min to a shop. Ended up buying 1 blouse for my mum, 1 shirt for my bro and a top for my sis and nothing for myself!! And somemore, we only had 30seconds left to the time we were supposed to meet. And so the 4 of us embarrassingly flew down the escalators from the fourth to the first storey!! But we were still late..and had to pay a fine of $1. HAHA.

The pinnacle of the twin tower at night.


9pm
Reached hotel Equatorial. We were all terribly tired! Its really a miracle that we were all able to sit through the ordeal of 2hrs of human geog debrief!! Even the guai ones were falling asleep during the debrief!!=D

11.30pm
Checked in. Bathed and ate cup noodles. Was really afraid when i suddenly recalled the horror movie i watched on friday night b4 the trip!! I really think that our hotel room's eerie!!!!! So listened my MP3 to sleep.

17/03/09 , 7.30am
Today i took less than 10min to get out of bed!! Got improvement! Thanks Sheryl!=D
Went down for buffet breakfast. WOOTS!!! I LOVE THE PANCAKES!=DDD



Some group photos

8plus
Setted off with my group to take the monorail. Me, Lengshan and Liyana started counting the number of pedestrians and vehicles when we reached the station while Banu, kok wah and Elvin walked around the area to observe. Hhaah..counting is indeed a job for slackers.



I love my group!=)


My aunty roommate.=DD

Then it was time to go=(((((((((
PIcked up some Malaysian food products on the way home.
7pm sharp
Reached the bustop outside NJ.
Cabbed home.
My sis and mum were waiting for me at the shelter ahha.. Yay!! Im so glad iv them to carry my stuff for me!!

-----HOME SWEET HOME------

My reflections:
1) I love sceneries and landscapes.
2) I am someone who seriously cannot stand dirty toilets! I nearly puked!!
3) Like Sheryl Sim said, I have always been living in an illusion that im a very effiecient person when im not. Thats y im always late for school!
4) I have great friends who helps me carry my bags around=)
5) I am someone who gets easily happy for people who are happy. HA.
6) My future job will certainly have something to do with social work coz i love meeting new people and helping people.
7) Iv made many new friends during this geog trip.
8) First time i see Ms Ting laugh so heartily! I am happy!=D
9) I LOVE GEOGRAPHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10) I think i sound really childish, but i dont care.

To end of this post..

Love 08a02, Love the people who have gone through this really meaningful journey with me. I'll never ever forget this trip!!!=DDD

19/03/09
Went vivo to watch movie with my primary school buddies Leon, Darrell and Nigel. Hhaa..although the movie wasnt really nice, i think the company is great!! Hope to meet up soon!=D

I guess orange, you must be really exhausted like i am now. But this post is gonna be some worth my time!!

Ciao!!
Cjiam
