the best summer ever; because of you.
My first summer with you, was also the best.
For I learnt how to love, and how love feels like.
I had my first kiss, my first touch, my first hugs.
I learnt that to love someone, you learn to let them go.
I learnt that to love someone, you learn to let yourself go too; for them.
whispers of summer
her story
friends
birdsongs
memories
sunrays
sometimes what i want to say isn't apparent through what you just see(:

nyps chalet!
nyps chalet!if you ask me, this is the one of the best chalets i've ever been to. srsly. i love nyps gatherings. the friends, and the random/epic things that happen(ed); the memories. lets just say that i've been blessed with an awesome batch(:went to yiting's house for lunch and headed down to chalet after that. haha surprising turnout! like the teachers' day outing xD there were so many people helping out in the kitchen etc yiting and i ended up slacking/playing bridge/taiti/watching raash's disney movies. [damn paiseh la first thing we do is to slack when for almost every chalet before this i'm always doing/cooking smth ><] finally got to play mahjong woots. zhenyi and i played so much mahjong - from idk what time we started haha until 8+? it was totally epic:zhenyi: eh jiaying you wanna go eat alr?me: oh yeah sure.zhenyi: anyone else want to go eat?everyone else: aiyo we ate already!zhenyi and me: zomg we played so much we forgot to eat?! yeah we were the only two who hadn't eaten by then xD must stay away from mahjong already. not good. speaking of mahjong, there are certain characteristics about the game when certain people are playing.like, when you play mahjong with josh, something epic is bound to happen. more on this later xD when you play mahjong with thomas, he'll either pull off a very imba win, or he'll hoard other people's cards so the game lasts just about forever, unless me/yunyi are at the table, because we random win so much it's difficult to guess what we're eyeing hurhur. and according to someone, 'never play with jiaying on your left because she eats cards like mad but never feeds you any.' although i don't think this is true :p boyan accused me of being a feeder thrice, so there!okay now for josh's epic mahjong adventure! first game: josh draws a tile. throws out another. 'I WIN!' everyone stares. finally someone goes 'eh how's that a winning hand!' josh: isn't it? i have a triplet, another triplet, another triplet, and two pairs! meanwhile everyone goes -.-", and someone (i forgot who!) came over to see what we were groaning about, and was very amusedly saying 'whoa xiao xiang gong alr not enough, still zha4 hu2 arh!' next scene: yknow when people throw out mahjong tiles they usually say what they threw out? well yeah that's what everyone else was doing. it's just that people call out the tiles in chinese/the occasional cantonese, but josh was insisting on doing it in english. and we ended up having this hilarious debacle. like, someone will go 'who threw what?' and someone else will say, for example, 'liu4 suo4'. and josh will happily say, 'oh, six sticks!' to which i insist absolutely that he calls it 'liu4 suo4' and he'll insist on calling it six sticks, and i'll go 'liu4 suo4!' etcetc, and it continued for quite a while and wouldn't have ended any time soon if conan didn't tell me to 'let it rest because you're never going to win anyway' so fine i let josh anglicise mahjong. bahh xDthird: so the mahjong game continues with josh peppering it with english here and there amidst the sea of chinese that everyone is using. then someone throws out wu3 wan4, and guess what josh calls it - 'five thousand!' [by this time you should be getting why it's so epic, if you don't, think: one thousand is..? and so yi1 wan4 is..?] xDfourth: and after we got josh to multiply the smth-thousands by ten [so he finally said things like 'fifty thousand' instead of 'five thousand'], it was quite uneventfully not-so-epic already. except for one more incident. he tried to zha4 chi1 - he had er4 wan4 and wu3 wan4, and the person before him threw out a si4 wan4, and he tried to chi xD with the defence that the er4 wan4 'looked like a three!' wheeee. mahjong aside, there was the fact that the teachers turned up! pleasant surprises. mrs tay (formerly known as miss sia), miss yeo, and miss mok! pity huang laoshi couldn't go. but oh well. i really take my hat off to them - they have awesome memories. it's been anywhere from 4 to 6 years since they taught us, but they still can remember who's who!and there was still yiting's birthday celebration :D thankyou to raash for thinking of putting a sparkler on the cake, and thankyou to everyone else for being wonderful and all and for singing the birthday song for her so loud and enthusiastically :D and now i can say that shinyi and i spent a few hours baking yiting's cake with good results. though that'd also explain why i was late in going to yiting's house, which in turn led to us not being able to make it to help raash at 2, which led to us missing the shuttle bus and going late to chalet. blehh. it's the chocolate frosting's fault; it was so difficult to make. oh yes, remind me to get a bigger cake box the next time. this one was a tad too small so the side of the cake died during the long trip to the chalet ><.
oh yes yiting if you are reading this - happy seventeenth! [for the third time, i know, but triple wishes are magic, imo! xD]
after that it was back to mahjong! tralala. no more epic scenes since josh left the table. but mahjong's still fun (x
awesome chalet, this one. the best thing was that i had another chance to meet and talk to all those batchmates that i didn't know very well before (people like conan and ryan), so that's more friends i know now!
next day i went back after open house on impulse, but as zongxian says, pity so many people left just when i reached. to which i said, at least i came back! cuz that means they had just enough people to play mahjong xD won three games out of four there. yeah, amazing luck. and one of them was when we were teaching ivan how to play and everyone was playing with open hands, in which case it usually is very hard to win because people are hoarding the cards you need most of the time. wheee~!
well now, i think raash and baifeng and daniel and whoever that helped to organise this srsly are most wonderful people. (it was a headache for them trying to get dates and people to go, honestly) and chalets are the love, but only when the people put in so much effort and make them so! love you guys, really(:
p.s. are we having another chalet next year? 8D
