hello today was a really nice day! :) i went back to rg with vivvy zeng and oafie!!! and we saw shlim and tiew kiat and lui and TOE!! omg. it was soooo nice seeing them after all these years and i felt so old because there were so many little secondary school people running around. :) but one thing i kinda miss after leaving rg is the atmostphere of all their funny celebrations. even oafie was telling me that during national day in sec 4 (3 years ago!!! goodness!) we were all singing and jumping around and trampling each others' toes and running around in circles and going mad! :) those were such wonderful wonderful times! :) and chinese new year and everything. rj was so dead when it came to these kinds of celebrations. :) but oh well, i hated it when i was in rg.. i guess you never realise what you really miss until it's gone. :( anyway, tiew kiat remembers us!! she yelled out in her same squeaky voice (as it was 4 years ago.. 4 years!!) "AYYYYEEE you all came back!! miss wong is so happy to see you all!" haha she still refers to herself in third person. :) then we saw shlim and oafie and vivvy and i yelled down the corridor "MISS LIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMM" then she yelled at us, as she always did in upper sec. :) then we saw lui!! and Lui looks so different! basically, he looks a lot better than what he did last time. ;) he removed his braces, which i happily pointed out (so mean right..) and he changed his glasses and was not wearing his yellow tie which he always wore. haha wonder if his handwriting is still the same. ;) then after that, we went to visit out favourite teacher!! zhang lao shi! aka. toe... aka zhang shu gou. hee now rg has like 3 staff rooms and the languages department is in block j which is damn far from everywhere else. then we saw CN LIM!! :) who still looks exactly the same, who looked the same as he did more than 10 years ago when i saw him in che's yearbook :) we saw cn lim first then we asked him for zhang lao shi.. then he asked which zhang lao shi then we said "zhang shui.." then it was so alarming because we all had this really long pause, trying to remember what the last word was because we were so used to calling him zhang shui gou.. then someone eventually said "zhang shui fu" then the rest of us were like YAH!! :) HAHA. so hilarious!! then when he came out and saw us, he looked like he was going to have a heart attack. :D it was so funny, the 4 of us just totally burst out laughing. we talked to him for a really long time.. one of the highlights of the conversation (which was carried out in chinese!! i actually spoke to him in chinese and he said my chinese was not bad.. which was the first time i'd heard that! haha):

us/ were we very terrible to you last time in sec 1?
toe/ nah not at all.. if rg girls are very terrible, where would society be in the future you tell me?
us (in our heads)/ do you remember what we did?

haha i miss him a lot! we treated him so badly in sec 1.. with all the pranks and stuff :) us and the "tong xue men zao an.." which was promptly followed by a very long and dragged out (roughly 2 -5 mins long, depending on our relative mood) "laaao shi zaaaooo annn.." haha good times. then i asked him whether he still had the smiley face socks.. and he was like NO.. 6 years already, how long do you expect me to use it? haha. then vivvy asked him about the hello kitty socks and he looked absolutely mortified ;) so so so nice!! it was so nice talking to him again!!!

and the icing on top of the cake!! Yai got into SIA!! he passed the interview!! all he has to do is pass the medical checkup tomorrow, which i'm VERY sure he will, and then he'll sign the contract and he'll join sia as a pilot!! OMG! :D he'll be leaving for obs in perak next week for the 21 day course and then he'll be going to queensland to learn how to fly the boeings and airbuses and other planes.. since it's in australia, i'll have family there when i go over.. for a short period of time anyway :) AND!! mom and dad get 1 free flight on sia a year :) unfortunately eunice and i don't qualify :( and che can't either cuz she's married. :( but yes they get a free flight.. so mom was telling him not to get married. :) she wants her free flight to LA.. OOH she can go by airbus. direct flight hurhur. :)

I was praying for this, i was praying so hard. and dear Lord, by your grace, you have answered my prayers. You have answered all our prayers. You have given us so much, although we have done nothing to deserve it. It is only through you that all things are possible. It is only through you that our dreams come true. You are the one who allowed me to get into Monash. You are the one who allowed Yai to make it through a gruelling interview.. You are the one who helped Eunice through her prelims. You are the one who has answered our prayers. Thank you, God! For your grace, Your love..

ARGHHHH!! i'm so happy today was such a wonderful day!
