In an instant he had whisked out a revolver from his breast and had fired two shots. I felt a sudden hot sear as if a red-hot iron had been pressed to my thigh. There was a crash as Holmes' pistol came down on the man's head. I had a vision of him sprawling on the floor with blood running down his face while Holmes rummaged him for weapons. Then my friend's wiry arms were round me and he was leading me to a chair.
'You're not hurt, Watson? For God's sake, say that you are not hurt!'
It was worth a wound -- it was worth many wounds -- to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation.
This is so sweet omg haha I cried like shit.

Because, well, I adore you - and I would do anything for you. ♥ I think - today was a good day. :)
Woke up early, breakfast with Daryl - chatting about his girlfriend and love and relationships and church and serving God and business and how screwed up some people are and everything under the sun really. :) It was a good long chat, one that could quite possibly last all day, chat full of insights, fun, smiles and laughter.
"So I went to this meeting, right - and this dude starts whining about how his mum doesn't understand him and keeps criticizing his friends and complaining about him staying out til 5am. And I'm like 'Okay dude - you go out til 5am, you don't tell your mum who your friends are, and you complain your mum doesn't understand you!?' And then Kenny goes 'We are not here to discuss people's problems. We are here to listen and let God solve them.' And I'm like 'Damn! I don't need to discuss his problems, I found his problem!' "
"I need her to meet people like you. I need her to realise that there are actually people out there in church who are normal. Damn!"
"You didn't do well for promos?? Why?! You are the Wikipedia in my life!!"
Damn that guy is hilarious. :)
Oh and like I'm in the church Christmas orchestra, and oooh I am undeniably excited. :D When they were recruiting people, I said I was willing to join as an instrumentalist. But the one small snag was that I didn't have a flute now that I'm not in the school band anymore. Yet, never underestimate the power of God - after seriously at a loss of what to do and praying about it each night, God answered my calls with a flute rental website. And after a few emails, this guy called me and it turns out that this guy's from my church and get this - he's gonna be playing the flute in the Christmas orchestra too - pretty cool huh! God's power is totally unrivalled. :)
And thennnnn it was dinner with Elyn! :) Yay she came to Gardens for the first time and she's like "Wow it's so Holland V!" Dinner at Astons Steakhouse with Elyn was good even though she looked like a blue alien yayyyyy :D Took her to the club afters and then went for catechists' meeting. :) Yayyyy missed you babe! ♥
Oh and omg while running down the hill to meet Elyn I suddenly bump into this group of annoying kids who were blocking my way. They make way for me and I start sprinting again and suddenly there's a "SERENE! WHAT THE HELL?" and and and I look behind me and I see Huimei :D:D:D:D:D:D And we hug and talk for a bit and then I run off again heh heh heh. Hello Prabhu I missed you it was good to see you - if you still watch this space, do leave a tag! ♥
Sooooo today was a good day, very good day - I mean well besides the poor frog I crushed on my way to church? Bloody hell, frog juice all over my new adidas barricades now??? The frog was the size of a bloody hamster okay. :( But all in all - good day because (!!!)
NEW FRIENDS (Y) OLD FRIENDS (Y) (Y) =♥♥♥
And Elyn's back, Zhao will be back today and 3 days left til Rich comes back + NewMoon with the girls :) Countdowns suck but I made it til the end of the week (Friday anyway) and the days ticked by really slowly but now the waiting is almost over!
I feel as happy as I look in this photo! :D
Now this is a good photo because it's meant to be a happy photo and I look happy so it's a good happy photo.
And nowwww it's time to get some studying done.
Orchestra on Sunday!!!!!!! :)

Absentmindedly making me want you; Taylor Swift = :)
Such a lucky girl indeed!
Lucky girl too!
Professional tennis season is over. Mumble grumble. There's absolutely nothing to watch on television - which is probably good I guess. My teeth hurt.
Tiger Woods. :( Poor guy, but he should know that as a world class athlete, he is held in high esteem world over and the media is very unforgiving. Still, everyone makes mistakes, and I do wish him all the very best and I still think he's a hell of a guy, one of extreme intellect, passion, articulation and respect for the game.
Adam Lambert - another one who has fallen foul of the unforgiving light of the media, but fortunately for Hollywood celebs, the media tends to be more forgiving. But he's young and as long as he makes the right decisions from now, it'll be all good. :) That boy's voice is amazing. I have never heard anyone sing like him, and he's such an amazing, likeable person, even if he is a little risque at times. :) Oh but when it's love, if it isn't rough it isn't fun yeah? :)
And so I was listening to Michael Jackson, and I remembered how easy it is just for things to just fall away as if they never happened. It's happened to me before - things that were near perfect just falling apart as if they never were that way.
Macs for lunch. D: This has gotta stop.

AJ Tennis Farewell - Masquerade, black and white! :)
"Oi Chaw, what part of 'black and white' did you not understand!?" -Nandeesh
And we proudly view our pinata - days and days of slaving over paper mache.
Chaw got floured hahahahaha and Nirmal felt sad for him so he gave Chaw a sweet.
More flour for Chaw - find the skittles among the M&Ms in the flour. :)
Difference between man and woman.
Sebas just kills the orange-eating competition.
Candle-lit driveway.
Planning com:)
Candle-lit dinner with floating potpurri - we are the awesomest juniors ever.
Nandeesh!
Use your head to break the egg.
Love this picture! :D
Oh boy water fight. :)
Chaw is such an epic gay seriously.
And there are so many more photos, even some that are yet to be uploaded, but what is Facebook for? Head that way people and be amazed at the wonders of Facebook albums.
I'm seriously just so tired from all the preparations and activities that went into today's farewell but I just love you guys so, so much and today was one of the best farewells I've ever been to, let alone planned, and just seeing the smiles on the faces of the seniors and hearing the continual laughter of theirs just made every single day of preparation, of boring meetings, everything all so worthwhile. :) And it was such a warm happy environment, and there was never a dull moment, and from not knowing the seniors well I got to know them alot better today through all the games and water fights and continuous laughter and happiness. :)
And to the J1s - I know I didn't do alot because all of you guys were shielding me from the legwork because of my retests but from the tedium that I experienced while doing what I did do, I know you guys went through so much more and I'm just so grateful for the J1s - you guys are the most unselfish, selfless, lovely people in the entire world - and I'm so honoured to count you amongst my friends and I'll do everything I can never to let you guys down in terms of schoolwork, trngs, physical, tournament, Idol, everything. :)
2 days, 4 days, 7 days! :) Time is ticking down. :)

That's ATP World Tour Finals Champion, not ATP World Tour Champion - that's Federer, he's overall champion.
Soooooooooo who was it?
“He’s very fast. He plays like PlayStation,” Del Potro said. “He runs to everywhere. It’s very difficult to make winners.”
Congratulations to Davydenko! :))))) Salut!
Meanwhile,
Very simple song, but nice. :) Single from Seb of Simple Plan. That man is still ever handsome, dayyymnn.
3 days, 5 days, 8 days more! Days are slowly getting lesser and lesser, that is good indeed :) But nothing changes the fact that I still do miss you. :(

Thank you Woony. :) You cheered me up a second time.

Ah, Joe Mcelderry. :) I am a big, big fan. He probably doesn't have the most amazing vocals I've seen on reality tv (I mean like with Adam Lambert around? Nah.), but he comes pretty close, and he's gorgeous. :)
I like this performance a lot. His slow songs like Where Do Broken Hearts Go and Don't Stop Believin' are my favourite, this is really good! :D
Okay Elyn just returned from odac expi, going ocip tmr, comes back 3rd Dec. ELYNTHAM HURRY COME BACK OKAY I MISS YOU. 3rd Dec is uhm 4 days away so
4 days, 6 days, 9 days more. I can do this.
♥ That Girl.
They've been saying it for generations.
The SCAI's the limit. I am the limit.
:D:D:D:D:D
SERENE is one of the people who make you who you are, the definition of definition, to borrow a few words. A believer in idealism, she sees the world in photographic moments, quotable quotes and song lyrics.
Always the hopeless romantic, she is fiercely loyal to those nearest and dearest. She finds joy in the simplest things, and sorrow in the greatest things.
She loves tennis with a passion, loves lions, loves being under the sun, loves watching the rain, and loves sitting in cafes watching the world go by.
She lives for most kinds of music, and dreams of a day where old classics come back into time. She lives in a world of yesterday, and believes old-fashioned gallantry is still the way to go.
Her dreams are big, but her heart will always remain bigger. There's plenty of space for you in her heart so come on in. :)
♥ Sh-shakeit.
Roger Federer!
Shawn Johnson!
David Cook!
Adam Lambert!
Simple Plan!
