Happy Hour









Sup! Anyway up there is a mix mash of pictures from acff, germany and youth camp :)
Let's start with Germany shall we?
Berlin is beautiful, i didn't talk much about it, i kinda observed. I love the weather, the lifestyle, the shops, the roads, the sidewalks (a little flat), the air, the history, EVERYTHING.
In Berlin, every inch of surface you step on speaks HISTORY. It's like every historian's wet dream. But i'm sure there are other places with so much more history than this (e.g. Greece, Rome), yet beinga history student it seems so much more poignant to be visiting the place where we learned so much about. Okay i shall shut up before i go into History mode.
Anyway we did loads of stuff, visiting the gorgeous museums, the christmasmarkets, Romain Rolland Oberschule School (lovely school and awesome students), Sausages sausages sausages, H&M etc. I have learnt so much from Berlin and i really want to go back there one day! BUT FIRST I MUST VISIT ENGLAND! Anyway i don't want to talk so much about my Berlin trip cos it would be a 359715914 word essay so in short form : It was fun and i learned so much. Ask me for the full length version ok!
After Berlin it was Youth Camp! At first i was really excited for it, but my excitement kinda faltered and i felt weird. OCC is sooooo small compared to the other churches, and everybody seemed so unfriendly. But throughout the camp, i learned more about God through the awesome speaker and i experienced things from God which i'd treasure. I know next year is gonna be special and i'm gonna love it! ;) Sadly on the LAST NIGHT, i finally opened up to ppl from other churches. It was a fun time playing board games and talking, i just wish i didn't wait so long. Oh well, DYC'10 here i come baby!
ACFF the day after was alright i guess. It was a success and i'm so happy for Alyssa! I love the clothes and stuff. And i made new friends, Suzanna, Jody and Celina! Thanks Shuk for accompanying me too <3
So right now my parents are on holiday so it's just nat, my maid and i. I'm enjoying the freedom, but displaying some responsibilty. I am being a good girl by staying at home and watching Skins. I'm having a massive crush on Luke Pasqualino, oh gosh. I hate all these crushes whereby i get all happy, so i hope it goes away soon. I like feeling mellow, not giggly and happy.
Alright and I LOVE KARA. Kara has been awesome to me, making me scared yet interested in all the illuminati stuff. What she says really makes sense to me, thank you Kara! YOU ARE AWESOME. Kara also made me laugh during Youth Camp with all her weird and funny actions, i'm so glad she was there! Yay Kara <3

Okay i'm off. I have been sleeping at 8 am every day and waking up at 5 pm, my body clock is screwed. I really should be living in Paris/San Diego/where my sleeping time is acceptable. I'm off to play sims! (WORLD ADVENTURES FOR CHRISTMAS PLEASE)
See you when i see you!

AMAZEBALLS


First up,
HAPPY BELATED TO JULIANNE, SHUK YEE AND MEEEEE! :DDD
Anyway i had the most AWESOME FANTASTIC STUPENDOUS CRAZY SHOCKING BIRTHDAY EVER!!!! I really love 23 November 2009 :))
The day started with me waking up late and cabbing down to school for CCA. I planned to go for a short while then leave BUT the teachers had to keep talking about German History. Then Liwei made Jul and I stay back and they gave us a birthday cake and cards!!! Thanks Liwei + YA <3333!
Later cabbed down to TP to meet Jovy for lunch. THAT WOMAN MADE ME SO SAD COS SHE DIDN'T WANT TO WISH ME HAPPY BIRTHDAY :( So i was sad and she just studied and i was bored. And then she left to celebrate Jul's birthday at Makansutra while i went for dinner with Joel and Jia Jun :)))
Joel and Jia Jun bought me flowers and i was soooo shocked. I love the sunflowers! Thanks guys! :) Later saw the Sims 3 World Adventures Game (AHHH BUY FOR CHRISTMAS) and bought earphones which were for 1 for 1 so awesome. Then had a lovely fish and co dinner treat and was eating a heeeelll lot. Thian Shin came over halfway and bought me chawanmushi! yay!
After dinner they bought that "Naughty G" Drink (disgusting) and Red Bull and we went up to the T1 rooftop. We talked, laughed and had fun, best birthday ever. Then i went home cos i was sooooo tired and scared daddy would scold.
So now here's the REALLY AMAZEBALLS PART:
I went home all sweaty and stuff and just pinned up my hair. I decided against sleeping cos i still wanted to talk to some people. Was talking to Fabian halfway when suddenly people started singing "HAAAPPY BIRTHDAAAAY TO YYOOOUUUU"! I turned around, really damn shocked and saw JOVY NG, JIA JUN, KANAPPAN AND DOMINIC IN MY BROTHER'S ONE HOLDING A BIRTHDAY CAKE. I WAS SO DAMN SURPRISED. Yeah i screamed oh gosh, and dominic was snapping unglam pics like crazy.
So now we know why Jovy was acting so mean earlier!!! Later had time talking to them and laughing about stuff. I made them eat chocolate ahaha, around 1230 i sent them to the bus stop.I feel really really really blessed and loved. THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. Seriously it erases all the shit things i experienced this year!
Thank you Jovy, Jia Jun, Knp, Dom, Joel, Thian Shin, Li Wei, Julianne, Shuk Yee, Weng Keong, Titus, Tommy, YA and others who made this such a memorable birthday.
Jovy i really love you the max. Everytime i'm angry with you (which is like never) i will think of what you have done for me. LOVE <3
JJ, Joel and KNP thanks for sticking me after all these years. You guys are the best guy friends i have ever had and i really love you alll!!! :D
And thank you God for giving me such awesome friends who bring joy into my life, i'm really grateful to year.
So cheers to 17 years of age, and here's to more awesome birthdays to come!
I LOVE YOU ALL! <3
See you when i see you!
Pssst GERMANY IN ONE DAY, HAVEN'T PACK YET AHHH!

In Loving Memories


Yeah that's me :) Apparently Jovy found this in her computer, so she uploaded it on facebook! But i decided to share this awesomely cute picture(ahahahaha) with you guys :D
Anyway today i FINALLY saw my sec school friends!!! Jovy, Jia Jun, Joel, Julianne, Deon and Mark, I LOVE YOU GUYS ;D
I crashed TP after the cool trip to the Goethe Institute with YA (they were showing contrasting pictures of sights of East Germany 1991 against East Germany 2001/present, extremely awesome).
Julianne and I got stares as usual as we walked to tp becuase of our school uniforms, but thankfully no words of ___ ___ or ____ ____ so all's cool. Anyway it's been eons since i last saw Jovy, so i'm really happy today. We had fun laughing about random stuff, taking horrible unglam videos, playing the sausage game (haha) and much more! I love my sec school friends, i really do, they make me feel so contented/happy/crazy. I really love those sec 4 years whereby i could laugh like a hyena, tease people like mad, write my stories without fear of other people looking over my shoulder, and where i could just me plain old retarded Rachel Goh Su Theng! :D
It's not that my JC friends are bad, but it's nice to be with people who have stood by you for more than 2 years and who know you inside out :B I guess maybe in 2 years i will reach the same level of comfortableness with my JC friends? It's kinda hard to say because they are leaving me next year.... And i have always been a terrible friend to keep in contact with, i'm not sure if they like that or vice versa if it happens to me :/
All i can do is try and hope. But at least i know my sec sch friends + some of my JC friends will be the lovely people i have always known ;D (RANDOM BUT WTF?! WHY DO I HAVE ACS SONG PLAYING ON MY ITUNES! STUPID NAT!!!)
Anyway last friday, met Titus, Tommy, Weijia, Jiayi, Shanice, Clara and Kaymond. Wah lau eh all of them are attached (except kay), i felt kinda sad for myself, but happy for them haha. It was lovely meeting them and catching up on stuff.
Last saturday I had an awesome time talking to Alyssa. I never really talked to her before, so it's kind of a change to form a new friendship. I had a really cool time, and i went practically elated when she gave me her Archie Comics hahahaha. Thanks Aly :D
Ahhhh growl. I just realised my holidays is rather packed.
25 Nov - 3rd Dec : Berlin, Germany!!!
4 Dec: Overcome Jetlag
5 Dec - 8 Dec: Anglican Diocesan Youth Camp!!!
9 Dec: ACFF rehearsal?
10 Dec: ACFF!!! + after-party (please please parents let me go!)
11 Dec: Read Econs!!!
I don't know what the rest will bring but i'm sure i have something more :/
Oh yeah some German Updates :
I and some others will be doing an indian dance and shaking our ass.
We will be playing tchouk ball and handball against the super duper tall German people.
We can never EVER burp during meals (Jovy will die haha).
Weng Keong's gonna bring some shows for us to watch!!!
Esther and I are gonna go crazy sharing the same hotel room.
The Armano Hotel (which we are staying in) has FREE Wi-fi, and they allow us to borrow X-boxes and Ipods at the Hotel Counter. Although one thing that sucks like shit is that we have to bring our own soap, bloody hell.
Apparently in Germany, we have to enunciate our words properly for the Germans to understand our English.
And... there are quite a lot of Asians in Germany, so they may think we are native Germans and may speak to us in rapid German!!! Shit i'm soooo dead, but i will stick to Marcus "I-took-O-level-German" Yeo :)
I'm also pretty excited for the Youth Camp. Finally i can see how big the other churches are and i make new friends!!! I should be helping out in games, but Joshua haven't told me about it yet. It's getting really disturbing that we have no news yet. I seriously don't want to be thrown into the fray.
Ohhh, and school sucks. SAJC is like the only college to still hold lessons, and school ends on the 26th Nov. It's so stupid!!! Even more so for me! I go to school to take attendance ONLY, and later i just stone in the cafe like some loner reading a book/archie comics. Aaaaaargh, i think i'm not going to go to school, i need sleep grawr.
Tomorrow i'm going shopping(finaaaaally) for stuff, Wed and Fri is YA and Thurs is Alysia's day!
Shit, i need to pack for Germany. I really don't want to pack :( But oh weeeeeells.
I will update this blog once i get more interesting stuff!
Until then,
See you when I see you!!!

(Too) Wild About It.


Sup!
My week's pretty boring i must say. School, Sleep, Com, Frown at strangers.... The usual.
I wanted to crash tp on wed but had YA. Then i wanted to crash tp on thursday but no one replied me. Grawr. I guess everyone's busy or ..... Sigh. I guess I asked for it.
Anyway, no new photos, thank God! My facebook will start exploding!!! But i think tmr (which will be an awesome day), there will be new pictures! I'm dreading yet excited about the thought....
Tomorrow is halloween and i'll be spending time with one of my favourite people in the world : Shuk Yee!
Adeline has her parties to attend, Tiffany has church, Yuan Zhen i'm not sure. So it's just me, Shuk Yee and her friend, Johannes (who flew in for Australia just for this weekend, i wish i could do that!!!) Hmmm, I've an idea of what we are gonna do, but i shall not say it ;)
Anyway just had a flu vaccination injection because of Germany. I love injections so it was pretty cool. I love the scared feeling I get when i see the doctor preparing the instruments and showing me the needle. Then i love the part my muscles get all bunched up then just relax and then the sharp short pain which was really nothing at all. Huh, i sound really disturbed. But, please don't think i've gone all cuckoo on you ;D
The doctor was really funny after that, she was like "If you tell me you are coughing, i will just strangle you". And in with her old frail hands and her fake angry face, she imitated the strangled moments in the air. It just made me realise why i wanted to take medicine at first, i wanted to be the fun doctor everyone loved and appreciated. But i guess it's not in God's plans anymore, oh well..... God has better plans for me :)
Hmmm, Chinese A-levels on monday. I haven't touched any chinese books, i just don't want to cos' chinese sucks. But i know if i fail i have to take it again next year. If i pass, i can point the middle finger at Chinese Language and bid Au Revoir. SO I REALLY HOPE I CAN PASS. Which means i have to study, shit.
And i screwed up OP today. I just lost my confidence, i freezed up like a popsicle. And my voice just went monotone argh i hate it when i lose it. But thanks to my group mates for their support, they are awesome really. I must must must get back my confidence for OP!!!
Oh yeah i just realised when i get back from Germany on 3rd dec, i have one dya to get over my jet lag, then i'm off to youth camp in JB. Wow i wonder how i'll handle that. I think i'd just collapse on my group mates!
Anyway i'm off to search the house for black pantyhose. I need it for tomorrow. Then i need to check through my stuff to see if it's all in order....
Argh LAST chinese tuition tmr, i can do this i can do this i can do this.
Bye. See you when i see you! :)
Have an awesome weekend!

P/s: I'm a bitch i'm a bitch i'm a bitch. I just seem so agitated nowadays, i'm really sorry.
Sigh, it really feels like i'm spinning around in circles with no way of stopping.

CamWHORE

Yeah it's official.
Rachel "No-i-hate-girls-who-camwhore" Goh has turned into Rachel "I'm-a-camwhore-look-at-me!" Goh.
Previously i never did like taking pictures (over-exposed freckles, fake smiles, weird faces), and my facebook photos were still at a comfortable hundred.
Oh now i've exploded into camwhore heaven, snapping pictures like crazy, poutingsmilingpreening into the camera like a gazillion times, and my facebook photos have gone up to a 1330. Yikes!
I guess my new sajc friends have really rose me up the ranks of camera-loving people :) Shuk Yee and Adeline, thanks (in a good way of course)
Whoring ourselves out in front of the camera is a good way to bond, have fun and to keep the memories alive! I really need these captured memories especially since they are all going away. (Shuk to London, Adel to JC2!)
Anyway life's been alright. I absolutely love crashing Shuk's place cos' i always discover something new and fun to play with. Her hotel-like bed is so damn comfortable that i really wonder how she wakes up every morning!!!
Oh and PW's almost over! Just handed in Written Report (a 3000 word report) today, so what's left is Oral Presentation which i love ;D
Anyway need to check up new songs on the net now. I'm going gaga over The Saturdays new album and other Brit artists which i just found.
See you when i see you!
&&& I can't wait for halloween!!!

Thank You!

So as some of you know, i have been going through a hard time. It has been mentally draining, depressing, filled with anger and melancholic. But thanks to God, family and friends, i think i'm gonna do absolutely fine :)
A lot of thinking has been done, and i'm glad to say that i've come to a decision. I am going to stay put here and going to stop being that stupid naive fool i was and STUDY. Looking back i've realised how dumb and complacent i was and it's kinda scary looking at how i lived my life.
I have experienced setbacks before but never of this magnitude which kinda ruined my future. But i guess i have to overcome this, kick butt and take action. It's no use moping around and feeling sorry. Things must change.
Anyway after talking with Aunt Evelyn (my counsellor), i've decided to rediscover my potential and also change my future career aspirations as i realised my passion lies somewhere else. It will be a difficult journey to take, but when there's a will there's a way! :D I just have to suck it in, pray, and work hard.
People i've met these past few days have really helped me a lot. I love the words of encouragement, the support and the smiles, thank you I really appreciate it. Mom, Dad, Nat, Natasha, Andrew, Jaslyn, PK, Andeous, Other Church People, Jovy(I WILL TALK TO YOU SOON I PROMISE), Alysia, Esther, Shuk Yee, Adeline, Titus, Tommy(Daddy!), Jonathan LK, Joel and 09s04, you people are so awesome! :) Oh and thanks Aunt Trina for the CK perfume and that wonderful note.
My family has also been really awesome, trying to ask me how to make things better. My dad thinks i'm going to have a mental breakdown, i thought i would, but i'm over that phase already.
So in a way, I guess i've finally come to terms with it, so it doesn't feel that bad anymore. Slowly but surely, i will find my place and start kicking butt again :)
Cherio, see you when i see you!

P/s: I will never ever do 3 nights in a row of mindless _________. The mind and body can't take it.

I don't want to face it.
I just want to runaway.
I just want to cry.
And i don't know what i'm gonna go about it.
