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
the version that's up here is the concert version. imeem doesn't have the original version somehow. or maybe it's there somewhere just that i'm too lazy to find it.
I wish I could go back in time. to relive all the moments possible from primary school to jc days. but somehow it's not possible to do so. it's common, many people would probably feel this way somehow. but once time slips past us, there's no way at all the recover the lost time. I guess the best way is to make the most out of whatever time we have now. especially now when A levels are so close. time really flies past like crazy, and sometimes I wish it would slow down just a little bit more.
how is it that the good moments seem to fly past really fast, while the bad moments seem to drag on as though it's forever. don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising anything. it's just a general comment.
I've been a computer potato and abit of a couch potato. but more on the computer side though since from thursday evening, I've been doing long-hour stints online, playing games, updating, surfing around, listening to music, watching videos online and chatting online until really late. but soon the mugging is going to start again. and it's not going to be much of a life until A levels end.

end of prelims!
I'm back after a prelims' long hiatus! =) and now I have to wipe off a lot of dust from my blog.
prelims were so so I guess, just hope that I can pass for every single subject. with a somewhat decent grade I guess. miss lim spoke to the class after phys p1 in lt2 earlier, my name was called out along with some others and the general outline was to redo our prelim paper, and revise up organic chem. I guess it means I passed chem. though how good/bad the grade is is yet to be seen.
celebrated teachers' day in advance and the august babies' birthdays after that! =)
07S34. ah crap I look fat in this pic. =(
shihui, grace and i went off to vivo after celebrations and we had a good lunch at food republic. seriously, their food is good. =) and I love japanese food as well! =) reminds me of the times during the prelims period when shihui, cherie, mayching and i went to the japanese food street at jp and sat down at ichiban to eat, crap and discuss prelims. =S I want to have japanese food again, REAL soon. =D we were feeling very sleepy after lunch even as we walked around the outdoor area of vivo. it's really a good place to de-stress, but the breeze that blew only made us more sleepy. =\

oh yes, main highlight during prelims period is beijing olympics 2008! =D the only word that can be used to describe michael phelps is astounding. indeed. =D

8 golds in olympics is no easy feat. and yet he managed to get it all. this guy really knows how to win all right. =D
Michael Fred Phelps (born June 30, 1985) is an American swimmer. He is a 14-time Olympic gold medalist (the most by any Olympian) and he currently holds seven world records in swimming. Phelps holds the record for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics with the eight golds he won at the 2008 Olympic Games. With this record, he surpassed Mark Spitz, who was also a swimmer and had held the previous gold medal total with the seven that he won at the 1972 Olympic Games. Overall, Phelps has won 16 Olympic medals: six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004, and eight gold at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In winning these medals, he has twice equaled Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin's record of eight medals (of any type) at a single Olympics; Dityatin garnered eight at the 1980 Summer Olympics, while Phelps won eight medals at both the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2008 Summer Olympics. Out of his eight gold medals from Beijing, five were won in individual events, tying the record for individual gold medals at a single Games originally set by Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Phelps ranks second in total career Olympic medals, after Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina, who won a total of 18 medals (nine gold) spanning three Olympic Games.
taken off from wikipedia again. during prelims period there were times when I sat in front of the tv with my family to watch the swimming events and michael phelps never fails to astound. amazing. =D
-taken from wikipedia yet again =) Usain Bolt (born 21 August 1986) is a Jamaican sprinter. Bolt holds the Olympic and world records for the 100 metres at 9.69 seconds, the 200 metres at 19.30 seconds and, along with his teammates, the 4x100 metres relay at 37.10 seconds, all set at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Bolt became the first man to win all three events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984, and the first man in history to set world records in all three at a single Olympics. His name and achievements in sprinting have earned him the media nickname "'Lightning' Bolt".
how amazing can usain bolt get? =D he really is like a lightning bolt all right. =)
that's about it for now. will update again. =)

study!
went to KAP mac to study earlier. I have to admit, it's better studying at KAP mac instead of other macs. other mac outlets are super not-conducive and it's always noisy.
caught up with qijian after I-don't-know how long. =) so we got some serious work done, him maths, me econs. and we started talking crap on the bus on the way home on 157, and the hot topic we discussed was about the art of sleeping in lectures and tutorials without getting caught. LOL.
it's really good to catch up, especially since he's from primary school until now friend. =) and it's never easy to catch up with pri school friends, even if we're in the same school, cos somehow, paths may not cross as frequently as you like.
kind of a vicious cycle though. =(
ok, so this is just a quick update. going on hiatus until after prelims. bye.
12:37 AM

resentment and hatred
I can't help but feel a great rush of resentment and hatred now. and it's like literally hissing in my ears over the past few days.
I don't get along with them because we don't seem to have much in common, and it's my silence most of the time that sets me apart. I have literally nothing to say when I'm around, and I feel as though I don't exist when I'm around sometimes. and for a minor incident that happened ages ago, I get this kind of treatment. while others did the same thing, except it was worse than mine, and their social lives don't get affected at all. while mine takes a downturn. it's so damn unfair. at least I have close friends to turn out my problems so I don't really care that much about what's happening to me. but when I'm there, I feel isolated and cut-off. it does nothing to stop the rushing resentment that's coming to me. and there are people whom I can rely on also in a sense.
fuck. I hate the situation. with a total vengeance. I can't believe I'm swearing like this on here, I hardly do so unless I'm really fed up.
and prelims are coming soon too. =( it's so damn stressful and it's as though you're on a time-bomb once again.
don't mind me. I'm just being emo cos I really need to let off this great rush of steam.
