Let's start off with this cheesy, but surprisingly true line: Dreams DO come true. XDDD It's true because it has something to do with my "Best news ever" that I wanted to talk about in my last post.

I admit that I personally dreamt of receiving an award, any sort of award, from the principal (or VP, whoever just happens to be there) on stage (or even where the flag poles are. Lol.) in front of the school. It's a matter of personal pride and honour to me. I've dreamt of a moment like that for 4 years, basically the entire time I was in BPGHS. I could've gotten that moment last year, when I won Best Article for RMUN, but I missed that chance because fate was cruel I just DIDN'T HAPPEN TO BE THERE AT THAT TIME. u.u

And then, just when I thought I would never get to see that dream fulfilled as it's already my last year here and I'm not entering any competitions, Mrs Wong became the salvation to my dream. ;D

It happened during English class last Thurs, if I recall correctly. Mrs Wong gave out the Certificates of Participation for those who took part in the New South Wales International Competition for Schools (Writing). I just sat there, expecting to get my Certificate of Distinction (pardon my complete lack of modesty XDD) when she said that two of us wouldn't be getting our certs back yet because, here it comes: WE WERE GOING TO GET IT UP ON STAGE NEXT TUES [2 days ago]! :DDDDD

So there you have it, a dream fulfilled. (: Though I must confess that I was kinda mortified to have my Chinese name being called out for me to receive my certificate. I mean, even the name on my cert states "SARAH LEE". Still, I didn't mind it that much because I still got to receive my cert from the principal! :D I swear, I could've just died out of pride on the spot.

Anyway, I'm not sure if you read Haz's blog on a regular basis (which I recommend, because she has one wicked sense of humour! ;D), but she told me a recount whereby a guy from our school displayed true chivalry. I myself am applauding this gallant act displayed by the mysterious guy from 3M1 (Haz found out his class but not his name! LOL :3), who actually offered Haz shelter with his umbrella when they happened to be walking to school last week. It was drizzling at that time. What amazes me so is that this guy and Haz are complete strangers! Yet, he still offered to shelter her! And I thought chivalry was extinct among our generation. ;D I'm glad to be proven wrong here.

Isn't it a lengthy post so far? I'm currently enjoying the fact that my home computer is working faster now. Finally, my brother, whose existance I don't acknowledge unless I can help it, has some use after all. Heh.

Damn it, I'm so hungry now. D: Next week is the last week of the fasting month. Not to mention it's the last week of Sept as well, meaning that Os are... You get the point? Oh, and I sincerely apologise to Clare for the fact that I've changed my mind and that I won't be aiming for ACJC with her after all. Believe it or not, I am very much liking the idea of going to a polytechnic. It depends on what you aim for your future career to be, after all. And I want mine to involve the Health Science Authority. I won't discount entering university at some point of my life, but as of now, I've already mapped out my future and it currently lies on the path to a poly.

Unless of course, I change my mind and decide to go to JC again. Highly unlikely, but that's what I thought too when I picked out my prom dress. *sighs*

I only have ten minutes before I have a painful separation with the laptop I'm using now. So my fingers are tapping faster than I've ever done before.

Internet connection at home is now slower than paint drying on a wall. Seriously. u.u I don't use it that much now. It took me a laggy connection to get me off the comp, not the fact that Os are looming even nearer now. God, what is wrong with me?

But this week, I received the BEST news ever. :DDDD

Dammit, dad's calling. Till next time!

While I did my homework and revised during the Sept hols (which isn't a holiday actually, more of a "break"), there is one thing I learnt during this week so far: a new form of anger therapy. ;D

I went over to Haz's house for two days consecutively and we had a blast playing games on her PS2! A particular game I love love love is one that involves killing slashing defeating enemy troops to conquer a new territory until you dominate the whole of Japan! XD I must say, it brought out the sadistic streak in me I never thought I had. Hah. The only thing I regret was not discovering this new way of venting frustration & distraught on 7 Jul, a day I could really use it. u.u

There was another game we played which is a tennis game basically. Apparently, I suck REAL BAD at it. XD One VERY amusing part of the game is that when your character swings his racket but misses the ball, he actually slips and falls ungracefully on his butt. Yes, I laughed at this. Every time. Even if it was the character I was controlling. Didn't I say playing the PS2 brought out the sadistic streak in me? There I was, laughing away at others' (the characters) misfortune of falling down. Pardon my crudeness. ;DDD

Oh, and I've decided not to take the pills after all. My mum said it was okay if I don't want to. *shrugs*

On a much cheerful note, which has nothing to do with my apparent newfound sadism, my prom dress has arrived! :3 Thank you Haz! Now, if only I had THE right shoes to go with it...

But on a second note, I'm having thoughts about this new other dress that's caught my attention. Who knows? I might even change my decision as to which dress to wear on that day. Gah, I'm so fickle! D:
