Hello, welcome. :)
I'm Glennda, 19 going on 20 this year!
Came into the world on 5th August 1990.
I have a passion for long distance running, sports, reading, music, writing and many other things, and blue-myfavouritecolour is an avenue for me to share my muses, thought and whatever's been going on.
Eventually I want to run Adidas Sundown Full Marathon and Standard Chartered Full Marathon!
I love my family, friends and my cell group, W398+N385! :)
Through God, I can do anything, and nothing is impossible. For God loves us and will never forsake us.
Oh and I'm a big fan of Westlife and Jay Chou, and would love it if I can get the chance to meet Westlife in person one day! :D
Inconsolable-Backstreet Boys I close the door Like so many times, so many times before Felt like a scene on the cutting room floor when I let you walk away tonight without a word
I try to sleep, yeah But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me A thousand more regrets unraveling, oooh If you were here right now I swear, I'd tell you this
Baby I don't wanna waste another day Keeping this inside, it's killing me 'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you) I wish that I could find the words to say Baby I would tell you every time you leave I'm inconsolable
I climb the walls, yeah I can see the edge, But I can't take the fall, no I've memorized the number So why can't I make the call? Maybe cause I know you'll always be with me In the possibility
Baby I don't wanna waste another day Keeping it inside, it's killing me 'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you) I wish that I could find the words to say Baby I would tell you every time you leave I'm inconsolable
No, no, no
I don't wanna be like this I just wanna let you know Everything that I hold in Is everything I can't let go (oooh, can't let go)
'Cause baby, I don't wanna waste another day Keeping it inside, it's killing me 'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you (to you) I wish that I could find the words to say baby I would tell you every time you leave I'm inconsolable, oh...
Don't you know it baby I don't wanna waste another day I wish that i could find the words to say baby I would tell you, every time you leave I'm inconsolable
everytime I listen to this song on my handphone/mp3, i'd just put in on repeat mode, cos I really like it very much, and I like the lyrics. somehow, someone got me addicted to this song during orientation period and I can't get it out of my head ever since. =D
interestingly, quite a number of j1s whom I've met for the first time have told me that they've seen me around during orientation and in school many times. and the thing is that I don't remember seeing them around before hahaha. it's quite a nice feeling though. =D

youth olympic games seminar '08
YOG seminar was held at suntec on 12th jan. yes, I know i'm quite dumb to blog about this especially when 2 weeks has gone by already. the mass dance part was fun! even though 5 colours was screwed. damn avac. =( but overall it was fun. =) though the seminar part was boring. I could see alot of people nodding off from where I was sitting.
went with the og19 ppl who came for the event plus zhenghui for lunch at suntec pizza hut, and we talked for ages. I got into a bad mood after receiving a call.
thanks to garrick for accompanying me and cheering me up. you're a great bro! =D
me and garrick walked with syafiq to citylink's HMV after going our seperate ways, and spent 1 hour browsing through various CDs, movie DVD and movie soundtracks until syafiq had to meet his friends at 4. then we walked literally the whole of raffles city, citylink and marina square. and we saw great splashes of green and orange people as we walked. in case you aren't aware, it's actually the jj ppl we're talking about. the j1 leaders were wearing their lime-green orientation tee, the j2 leaders were wearing their orange team jj tees. in the end, I suggested going to esplanade since it's around the area, and we've never actually explored the esplanade area despite passing by there many times before. we saw a few ogs around there playing games also haha. and we explored the library and the rooftop terrace. really nice places. pity I didn't take any photos then. and we ended up talking for really long, sharing our thoughts and secrets. we dashed back to marina after exploring the place and chatting because of the rain that was coming. as it was, we saw yet another lot of jj ppl, this time it's F1 ogls plus councillors. they asked me to help them snap a pic, and I willingly obliged. =D
the j1 orientation tee for 2008 is really nice! it looks really nice in comparison to 2007 orientation tee. i never ever wore my orientation tee after 01. =\ now i'm tempted to go and get 1 of the '08 orientation tees for myself too, as a memento. =D

revelations '08
the beginning of the end. revelations '08. a day of mixed emotions and tears. we ogls prepared alot of presents for og19 ppl. writing out 28 letters for every one of them within the space of 2 days was really hard. not to mention tiring to the hand as well. o's results out yesterday, i'm really proud of og19! =D results were quite good. at least everyone did well enough to stay on in jj, if they want to stay on. congrats to anliang. 9-pointer! =D the only one to get single digit in our og. and i'm incredibly proud of amanda and padey as well. she got 8, he got 10. they definitely can get into their dream jcs already.
og19, thanks for the memories that you've given us. they've been absolutely the best ever, and everytime when I see most of you guys gathered together, I feel really heart-warmed, cos alot of ogs have kind of gone their seperate ways already. the process of going your seperate ways can be hard to bear, but I still hope that the spirit of og19 lingers always.
all ogls got candles for the walk-in during revelations. and when the time came to blew out the candles, my tears came. I wish I could hold on to this moment forever. the video-screening part before the blowing out of candles was really funny, especially for F4. the video was absolutely hilarious. and gary would be famous in school(?) for that reason cos the video had his face for most of the part. talk about really funny. the whole hall was laughing, and we ogls were watching from outside the hall as well.
I felt really heartwarmed when og19's video was screened, cos most of the og19 ppl stood up and cheered like mad when the video came on. and they were the only og who did that. I felt that great rush of affection for everyone of them. =D and that was garrick's idea, as I found out later when the ogls joined the campers later.
pretty shaoyan! =D my dear bro garrick =D og19! =D
more photos coming up, these're what I have in my phone so far. og19 played captain's ball against og21 after revelations, and we won! =D
back again after being missing in action for awhile.
ohwell. sentosa outing today. got a super sunburn on my neck area. oh my. didn't really enjoy it that much somehow cos something happened to get me in quite a bad mood. but then again, I'm quite upset these days. so there are times when I can lose my cool. anyway, it was great talking to yongcheng at sentosa earlier. somehow, through him, I noticed quite alot of things in class that not many people would actually take notice of, unless you're very observant.
photos from yesterday's og outing. we went to marche to eat. and the food is great!
garrick, me, anliang and daniel
jianrui and junjie somehow managed to jump up on the cows outside marche. and I decided to join them in this shot by acting dao.

thoughts.
it's a week after crazy orientation and I kind of miss it. but then again, I really enjoy hanging around with og19 ppl! =D especially to some of you guys, you're really great to talk to. =)
what I want to rant about now doesn't really concern alot of people, it's just basically me venting off some frustration that I've carried with me for quite some time.
I'm tired of bearing bullshit already. I'm sick of someone giving me the hot&cold treatment. I'm fed up with giving my opinion about something that people say and having them laugh at me, as though I'm a damn fool or something. I just feel that some people are just so DAMN childish. maybe it's just me, cos when most people laugh at some things, I don't laugh cos I just can't see the humour in it, or I think that it's just plain stupid. I feel so out of place being stuck with people who have very little in common with me. not that I mind it, because opposites attract, after all. but then again, I can't stand almost total silence. I'm much more comfortable being in my own skin, being with people whom I'm close to and more importantly, be able to chat with them very easily.
thanks junjie(og19) for listening to me whine about my problems and frustrations, and for keeping me awake during certain boring lessons in school by sms. =) thanks to garrick for the same reason too. =) it's been really great knowing you guys.
thanks og19 for the memories. =)
talking about today, it's been filled with amazing coincidences. I was helping out to usher the j1 leader applicants to their interview venues this afternoon, along with mayching, shihui, chinkhang and zheyuan. and I'm quite glad to see a number of commonwealth people apply for it. =) there was 1 particular group that I ushered, and there was a commonwealth girl there. we were chatting together and 1 guy from shuqun said my name. I was quite surprised that he knew my name cos I didn't remember seeing him during 01. and it turns out that he's howsun. I knew him when I was in sec 2, during a performance when commonwealth and shuqun band combined together for a performance on new year's eve, counting down to year 2005. it's been at least 3 years, and I had kind of forgotten about it too. and it's amazing that he still remembered me, after so many years. =D
my first post of the year! =) basically, it's 01 kicking in at this point of time! =D and it's been an incredibly mad rush, with so many things to do, to take care of the campers' welfare.. not to mention that it's incredibly tiring. og19.. well, the honest truth is that they weren't very hyped up during the orientation, but as the 2nd day came and went, the bonding came about. for that, i'm glad. it was not easy for me as I was og i/c and there was alot of meetings that we needed to go, meaning that meal times were cut short. but then again, the games attaches don't have it easy either, since they're so busy preparing for wet games, night games, telematch and kinetic warfare, it means that they don't have very much time to spend with the og. and the number of hours all of us ogls slept within the last 2 days can be counted with 1 hand. =\
mass dance rocks my socks man! alot of seniors came back for jj night. alexTOOT and nicholas came back, and oh boy, the way they screamed while cheering was more than incredible. and my voice is starting to lose it already as it is. alot of the ogls' voices have changed as it is because of the cheering. and mass dance was insane lol. nicholas partnered me and we were screaming and jumping around like mad during mass dance. and F1+F4 performance was great! =) credits to valerie, sheldon, huimin and ken for choreographing the dance!
photos! =D
telematch I like this year's theme and the deco! =D we made this out of lightsticks during jj night. but the angle of this photo sucks =\ balloon deco in the hall for jj night eweb og19's eweb og19 =D pizza hut =D in all, 01 was great. though I cried during eweb. but then again, I think alot of people cried at that point of time.
'08's batch song is really meaningful as well.
Hero-Mariah Carey There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are
There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold
You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away
Hold on There will be tomorrow In time You'll find the way
And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you
