at 'o' levels, i liked all my subjects that i was studying except the humanities meaning social studies and history...though it is not always that i score very well for all of them............
to me, my favourite subjects are not neccessary the ones i score very well in, nor is it because i have the best teachers, and also not because that particular subject is easy, though all these do play a part in the degree of like-ness........
e.g. i like learning german in secondary sch, though i have never gotten at A for it in sec 4 before, i like it all the same, though i have to memorised many vocabulary for the compositions that i have to practise often and remember all that confusing nominativ, genitiv, dativ, akkusativ forms and the masculine, feminine and neutral pronouns and the many endings......and exceptions, i like it all the same... but i didnt take it in JC was becos it will be like learning german lit and i felt that wasnt up to it......but still i like german.
then there was maths, it was like a love-hate relationship, i can like and hate maths at the same time! it was a subject that i have been steadily acing in my secondary sch years.... though differentation and and intergration gives me headaches oft and make us go berserk over it, i still like maths al l the same... it was lucky that i had a wonderful teacher, mrs yeo then, she talks very fast, yet we understands wat she is teaching, and gives us lots of practice..........
for english, that's one frustrating subject that i can never aced. language skills are built up on foundations laid long long ago, my foundations were never strong, though i read avidly, grammar rules never seemed to go in........so is vocab so i am always stuck to a B/C-grade, really irritating situation............luckily i had a very dedicated teacher, mrs heng, who speaks and enuciates her word so clearly we cant help but learn to speak nicely too and ace our o lvls orals(i hope)..........her classes are fun and interesting..though i sometimes dislike the compositions we have to do.....
for the sciences, both bio and chem are memorising work while phy is hard on application...................i like bio but i hate memorising, so that was why before prelims my grades sturck to bs and Cs.......cos i dislike memorising every little detail, like how the who production of Penicilin is carried out or what and when exactly do each hormone in the female's menstrual cycle does and appears or what kind of microorganism is used for hte production of cheese and yoghurt and wat not.............i like learning abt them, esp stem cells and cloning and DNA but not memorising........... for chem, memorising wasnt so difficult, cos we had many TYS practices so we applied wat we learnt regulary to qns so everything that needs to be memorised is somehow up there alr......for phy, i hate swallowing the whole textbook too on the defintions and formulas.........somehow, i still manage to score As often for this subject though i dont like it as much as the former 2............but now anways, my PHY is horrible cos i am clueless abt wat is happening during the lecture la! econs is worse! and yong tau fu isnt helping much..........haix
but anyways, what i want to say is even aft such a horrible JC1 CT, i still love my subjects!(:

That day when we had our combined concert for angklung, many things happened, twas eventful! we were let off at 12:30pm which makes no difference to me cos that was the time that my timetable ends that day....so we had a super long lunch break where me and eileen went down to mug and chit chat... then we went for the last-minute rehearsal before the concert...guess everyone was in a high mode.... then went for a very early dinner at the amphi...where i managed to whip out my camera and take a few photos... unfortunately i left in a flurry and i left my beloved camera in the amphi, when i went back to look for it, it wasnt there! in the end, twas mr fuad who kept it for me, at first he dont want to return it to me la, boohoo! hahas,but anyways i got it back in the end la! funny mr fuad! so that was that, oh yah, on that day i managed to wrapped myself up in the sarong pretty neatly! hahas so quite proud of myself(:...someday i am going to teach my juniors how to do so nicely too!
aaaahs i look forward to orientation!
that night my fav snr had to rush home cos of an emergency..... and the next day we had a performance, xingyu didnt come that day so i was the only one playing "4" normal....so i missed my snr alots! ahhs. then cons took on 4 while joyce tried 4 atas..wat's worse is that the sound sys suntec wasnt good cos we can hardly hear ourselves, let alone TWO "4" angklungs playing...

ANGKLUNG LIFE
1st of july is one really memorable day in my j1 life! Angklungnites went down to TPJC to play ZAPIN for the malay dances...the atmosphere was electric! The day before, we had our first dry run of the song, twas a stressful experience for everyone, especially Cons i guess, everything just wasnt turning out the way it should! the song was too fast and the maly dancers had trouble catching up, the drumbeats were somehow not up to par with mr osman(is tt rite?) standards and all the last minute changes and tight time constraints is simply so frustating! phew! on that day, somehow, everything fell into place, the smiles came naturally, though the stress was still there to play well, and the loud applause at the end of our item simply made everything seemed so worth it! defitnitely, everyone felt elated after the performance. while walking to our bus, Educational minister Mr tharman shamugaratnam was leaving too! wat an honour! to be able to see him face-to-face and hearing praises from him that our playing was good. it just fall short of being able to take a photo with him. What a PITY! humph!
angklung oei! oei!
angklung oei! oei!
angklung oei! googles up! wooh!
hahas:) that was the result of being obsessed with eric's game! Twas so fun! it kind of helped everyone destressed for awhile and bond together as ONE CCA, it was a rather meaningful session me thinks. I really admire eric's abilty to make the ppl around him be at ease... ...

aqua outing
After reaching home from aqua chalet on a gloomy monday morning, i cant help but just fall flat on my face and sleep till evening........i missed my lunch! YAY! hopefully, lose some stores of fats are used, but before i went to meet zhou gong, i received a call frm my PW teacher asking me abt the progress of my PW project...man! i almost feel like slamming the phone back down, but thankfully, i didnt, i manage to keep the phonecall shory my patiently assuring him that everything is just fine......
anyways, aqua outing was fun! i love meeting all the seniors and since its a chalet, i didnt manage to sleep until like 3:40am...it's a really good way to get to know the seniors, hahas
dig up some scandals and have fun..am wondering whether angklung should do something like this....btw, the cost is $160 per night for a bungalow.......i think its at a special rate la... its at aloha loyang...there's limitations on the air-con usage though, not more than 20 units kWh otherwise, its 20 cents for every extra unit....
there were 4 rooms, 2 for the gals, one for J2s, one for J1s and one for J2 guys and one for J1/IP guys........hahas, lots of funny stuff happen that day....okays, first i must list all the grand/great-grand senoirs i met that day, it's really heartening to know that aqua have such enthu seniors who come back year aft year to give HAT their support... ...there's, johannes aka joh. (last yr's vice-capt), shawn( the old one, i think he's a former hse rep...), ming feng, christopher aka chris, henry.....hmms....we celebrated zhiru's birthdayat the chalet..its was kinda something big for the 38th and 39th HAT, we wanted to make it extra special for her...the original plan was to use charcoal and create smoke around the area, and pretend there's a fire at 2am in the morning...cos at 2:50am ,we were thinking, she'll wakeup to watch the football match....and start banging on the door....evacuate everyone, there's even a fire extinguisher around! but we decided against the idea,for fear that some smoke detector will alert the whole neighbourhood......in the end, we woke zhiru up with a birthday song....which i think was really sweet.....yupps, slept at 3:40am that night/morning....
some of the memorable things of the chalet:
- had a heart-to-hear talk with my beloved aqua hse capt, sam....
- laugh myself silly hearing sh teach us a game called the "7th grade pig", nearly laugh until i got sore throat la! got stomach ache also... ...
- talking with all e grand seniors
- romantic night walk with xiu ming hahas:D
- interesting fortune-telling game

okays now let me tok abt the camp activities....
firstly, my 11 grp members:
gals: nat, jeanne,denise,tina
guys:leonard,wei yi, kian pang, srey, xue yuan, han ern, fadhli
DAY 1:
we had our ice-breakers...very fun! there's this game where u get to eat m&ms and introduce urself,man, i love chocolates! then there's the turn-the-ground sheet over while u're on it game, the pass the hoop around with linked hands game and the walk on chairs but blindfolded game...nxt was the segment by our team where we had to teach everyone first aid and map-reading, everything when okay........except when i was toking to everyone before the whole thing started the stupid laoudhailer kept screeching! eeks! issit me or is the loud hailer rebellious?!! then we started our LAND EXPEDITION! i ate lunch at super fast speed la, until i had heartburn so i had to stop eatg and let it subside for a while... ... teach me not to gobble up my food......
then we set off! chiong all the way to the bus stop only to be kept there by the stupid bus!
hahas:D, many of the routes rite, the councillors had alr trod on during elects' camp, so we are okay with directions during the the long hike at macritchie, then we took a bus to bukit timah nature reserve...wah let me tell u, yltc abit slacker in this aspect, i remember during elects' camp, how we WALKED on FOOT (ouch! in memory of it) from nj to sixth avenue to holland village to NUH to west coast and bus to bukit panjang i think or dunnoe wat nature reserve and then to bukit timah and then to mac ritchie and finally bus back to sch....wow! i still remeber that seemingly never-ending stretch of rifle range road.... woah! yupps so land ex only cover macritchie and bukit timah, so me thinks elects' camp hike is tougher...yupps..but anyways land ex is still quite fun, too some photos! but one challenge in land ex is that you have to carry your whole bag along the WHOLE trip~five days worth of clothes and shoes....
DAY 2:
we had our obstacle course the whole day, thought it was drizzling on off and the helmet is sooo stinky...... first we tried the rope course, where i get to belay ppl to higher heigts and watch them like a hawk...everyone complained of neck ache the nxt morn from looking up for such lopng periods... then we went onto the challenge pole, hohoho! there's a once-in a lifetime experience man! and seriously i only want to keep it to ONCE! hahas:P climbing up the pole was easy peasy, stepping onto the top is another matter altogether, the top is not flat la! stupif metal cap! so when i reached the last step, got sturck up there a while cos i was afraid if i took the large step from the side of the pole to the top i might lose my balance... si i took awhile and when one feet went up, i quickly put the other up too....again balance.....nat commented that she noticed my last step was abit of a jump up the top....after both your legs are on the pole, everything seem so comfy you dont want to get down anymore! afterall you are on the top of the world! it's really nice lookg down from that height! really...sadly, had to jump and hang onto a trapeze.......so there i go, jump....and down down down... ... next up was really exciting.... i went to abseil and the instructor was quite nice! the last part was abit scary la! cos i became further and further from the wall, then when i looked down, voila! i was near the ground liao! next was my FAVOURITE! zipline! aka flying fox...i got a heart attack on my first step la be cos of the drastic drop in height! i wanted to scream but nothing came out! really funny and i squeezed my eyes closed and opened them again.. it was really cool looking down from the cable! then i joined the trolley party! basically what we have to do is to respond and "save" the person. the person jumping will shout "clear runway!" and we reply "runway cleared!" and whee! the guys were really funny la! they complained abt the pain in the thigh area becos for the zipline, you are hung to the cable only by harness mah. the ride down the cable was not very smooth, so for every little jump the person makes, the guys go:"ouch!" hahas.i guess that is more of a guy's problem if u noe what i mean... ... when trolley party became abit boring, me and denise, and the rest started throwing stones at each other... its really cool cos got helmet.sooo it doesnt hurt, all u hear is a resounding thek! sound...my aiming sucks la! everyone esp eric and leonard became so scared of me....boohoo!
at night we packed for our sea expedition... ...
DAY 3:
yay! off we set out for our sea expedtion aft a delicious breakfast of beehoon and hotdogs. on the bus, many of us slept...tired mah.... kayaking is sooooooooooo FUN! all the instructors so chio and cute la! good-looking! hehes......james, look like some hongkong actor i think, charles, wang jie, elaine..................i want to go kayak again! kayaking was fun but tiring, along the way we sang songs, cheered to keep the spirits up........i love making rafts! hahas:) though we always get scolded for making horrible rafts... ... kayaking left me with lots of sand everywhere, cuts and abrasions from the fibreglass kayaks, and lots of blue-blacks from all that knocking.... ... at night, we had team-bonding games at changi sea sports club....
DAY 4:
went back to camp..damn tired...........................but anyways, we played the obstacle course... lots of body moving...........our grp really have strong guys la! there's spiderweb, wall and higher wall of NJC, hole in the wall(actually its a tyre) and acid river which i like best...whee! at night, we had a FEAST! YUMMY! and all the grps acted out their skits..........we cheered like crazy and laughed our selves silly with all our super funny skits la! the david marshall impersonation was so real- i was told....hehes:D i love the 2 bimbos in out skit, so funny! nat and jeanne.gosh! anways, then we had mass dance! and we ONLY DANCED IT ONCE! so sad! :'( i want to dance lots and lots of mass dance! yupps! hehe..love it! ohyah! lights out that night was later than usual, at 1am, so many grps had gatherings in the guy dorms.......our grp and grp6 didnt have one, so we had a mini picnic in the dorms and ghost-story-telling sessiosn........my "bed" was on the upperlevel......but i went to the lower to hear the story teller,aline, better....so aft that i wanted to go back up and when i opened the door....i screamed muy head off la and closed the door again! and this sparked off a series of screams from the rest... ... guess what? there's a froggie jumping around on the lower landing of the stairway! ahhs! so i was stuck downstairs while the rest of my grp mates were stuck upstairs! in the end, i had to go to the guy's dorm and call for SOS....wah.......heart attack man!
DAY 5:
amusingly, denise and i was placed as i/cs for the day...it was quite fun to stand in front and ask everyone to do rowcalls to you hahas(: esp when you have to report to urself since u are part of the grp too...imagine me saying,"12! lee kong chian reporting to Noreen, total strength 12, current strength 12, all present!" lol! so yupps we cleaned up the place includg toilets and off we go..home sweet home..................b4 we left, we wrote msges on each other's books......haaaaahhhs sweeet memories......

okays now let me tok abt the camp activities....
firstly, my 11 grp members:
gals: nat, jeanne,denise,tina
guys:leonard,wei yi, kian pang, srey, xue yuan, han ern, fadhli
DAY 1:
we had our ice-breakers...very fun! there's this game where u get to eat m&ms and introduce urself,man, i love chocolates! then there's the turn-the-ground sheet over while u're on it game, the pass the hoop around with linked hands game and the walk on chairs but blindfolded game...nxt was the segment by our team where we had to teach everyone first aid and map-reading, everything when okay........except when i was toking to everyone before the whole thing started the stupid laoudhailer kept screeching! eeks! issit me or is the loud hailer rebellious?!! then we started our LAND EXPEDITION! i ate lunch at super fast speed la, until i had heartburn so i had to stop eatg and let it subside for a while... ... teach me not to gobble up my food......
then we set off! chiong all the way to the bus stop only to be kept there by the stupid bus!
hahas:D, many of the routes rite, the councillors had alr trod on during elects' camp, so we are okay with directions during the the long hike at macritchie, then we took a bus to bukit timah nature reserve...wah let me tell u, yltc abit slacker in this aspect, i remember during elects' camp, how we WALKED on FOOT (ouch! in memory of it) from nj to sixth avenue to holland village to NUH to west coast and bus to bukit panjang i think or dunnoe wat nature reserve and then to bukit timah and then to mac ritchie and finally bus back to sch....wow! i still remeber that seemingly never-ending stretch of rifle range road.... woah! yupps so land ex only cover macritchie and bukit timah, so me thinks elects' camp hike is tougher...yupps..but anyways land ex is still quite fun, too some photos! but one challenge in land ex is that you have to carry your whole bag along the WHOLE trip~five days worth of clothes and shoes....
DAY 2:
we had our obstacle course the whole day, thought it was drizzling on off and the helmet is sooo stinky...... first we tried the rope course, where i get to belay ppl to higher heigts and watch them like a hawk...everyone complained of neck ache the nxt morn from looking up for such lopng periods... then we went onto the challenge pole, hohoho! there's a once-in a lifetime experience man! and seriously i only want to keep it to ONCE! hahas:P climbing up the pole was easy peasy, stepping onto the top is another matter altogether, the top is not flat la! stupif metal cap! so when i reached the last step, got sturck up there a while cos i was afraid if i took the large step from the side of the pole to the top i might lose my balance... si i took awhile and when one feet went up, i quickly put the other up too....again balance.....nat commented that she noticed my last step was abit of a jump up the top....after both your legs are on the pole, everything seem so comfy you dont want to get down anymore! afterall you are on the top of the world! it's really nice lookg down from that height! really...sadly, had to jump and hang onto a trapeze.......so there i go, jump....and down down down... ... next up was really exciting.... i went to abseil and the instructor was quite nice! the last part was abit scary la! cos i became further and further from the wall, then when i looked down, voila! i was near the ground liao! next was my FAVOURITE! zipline! aka flying fox...i got a heart attack on my first step la be cos of the drastic drop in height! i wanted to scream but nothing came out! really funny and i squeezed my eyes closed and opened them again.. it was really cool looking down from the cable! then i joined the trolley party! basically what we have to do is to respond and "save" the person. the person jumping will shout "clear runway!" and we reply "runway cleared!" and whee! the guys were really funny la! they complained abt the pain in the thigh area becos for the zipline, you are hung to the cable only by harness mah. the ride down the cable was not very smooth, so for every little jump the person makes, the guys go:"ouch!" hahas.i guess that is more of a guy's problem if u noe what i mean... ... when trolley party became abit boring, me and denise, and the rest started throwing stones at each other... its really cool cos got helmet.sooo it doesnt hurt, all u hear is a resounding thek! sound...my aiming sucks la! everyone esp eric and leonard became so scared of me....boohoo!
at night we packed for our sea expedition... ...
DAY 3:
yay! off we set out for our sea expedtion aft a delicious breakfast of beehoon and hotdogs. on the bus, many of us slept...tired mah.... kayaking is sooooooooooo FUN! all the instructors so chio and cute la! good-looking! hehes......james, look like some hongkong actor i think, charles, wang jie, elaine..................i want to go kayak again! kayaking was fun but tiring, along the way we sang songs, cheered to keep the spirits up........i love making rafts! hahas:) though we always get scolded for making horrible rafts... ... kayaking left me with lots of sand everywhere, cuts and abrasions from the fibreglass kayaks, and lots of blue-blacks from all that knocking.... ... at night, we had team-bonding games at changi sea sports club....
DAY 4:
went back to camp..damn tired...........................but anyways, we played the obstacle course... lots of body moving...........our grp really have strong guys la! there's spiderweb, wall and higher wall of NJC, hole in the wall(actually its a tyre) and acid river which i like best...whee! at night, we had a FEAST! YUMMY! and all the grps acted out their skits..........we cheered like crazy and laughed our selves silly with all our super funny skits la! the david marshall impersonation was so real- i was told....hehes:D i love the 2 bimbos in out skit, so funny! nat and jeanne.gosh! anways, then we had mass dance! and we ONLY DANCED IT ONCE! so sad! :'( i want to dance lots and lots of mass dance! yupps! hehe..love it! ohyah! lights out that night was later than usual, at 1am, so many grps had gatherings in the guy dorms.......our grp and grp6 didnt have one, so we had a mini picnic in the dorms and ghost-story-telling sessiosn........my "bed" was on the upperlevel......but i went to the lower to hear the story teller,aline, better....so aft that i wanted to go back up and when i opened the door....i screamed muy head off la and closed the door again! and this sparked off a series of screams from the rest... ... guess what? there's a froggie jumping around on the lower landing of the stairway! ahhs! so i was stuck downstairs while the rest of my grp mates were stuck upstairs! in the end, i had to go to the guy's dorm and call for SOS....wah.......heart attack man!
DAY 5:
amusingly, denise and i was placed as i/cs for the day...it was quite fun to stand in front and ask everyone to do rowcalls to you hahas(: esp when you have to report to urself since u are part of the grp too...imagine me saying,"12! lee kong chian reporting to Noreen, total strength 12, current strength 12, all present!" lol! so yupps we cleaned up the place includg toilets and off we go..home sweet home..................b4 we left, we wrote msges on each other's books......haaaaahhhs sweeet memories......

how time flies...
see! i am updating! its is ONLY 17 days since my last entry! hahas:) you will have to expect a larger time gap nxt time for various reasons, i suppose... ...
it is quite unbelievable how time just race by w/o us realising it. 5 mths... FIVE MONTHS! that's how long i have been in nj, how long i have been in angklung, how long i have been in aqua, how long that i have last seen my fellow secondary school mates... ... reminisce reminiscence...
This june holidays is to a certain extent neccessary to me, or it seemed, i will nvr be able to catch up with my sch work again...it has been lagging aft elects' camp, how precious weekends are! nevertheless, these june holidays will be filled with lots of work and play. winner will be happy to note that the most updated of my homework wld be Maths followed by chemistry though i am abit clueless abt wat's happening now, with all the chem bondg popping out now and again, and all that exceptions and twists a simple chem qn can take... ...is mass studying seesions helpful??? perhaps once in a while and preferably with a moderator present---someone who shushes everyone to silence... ...the subject that i am most lagging in is physics... ...aft kinematics i was lost...until forces and motion in a circle, that was where i picked up again, but kinematics and dynamics is still in a state similar to that of a mesh of wires, so confused.
hmms... during the period of these 17 days which i didnt blog, many significant things happened, like my transition from elect to a full-fledged councillor, and my new duties as a AQUA hse coordinator,...many ppl was shocked, i guess. Did anyone expect that to happen? my first sports day in nj, my first duty as a hse coordinator during sports day... then, there's angklung elections, did anyone expect me to run or otherwise? hmmms, i dont noe... the interview was interesting, some ppl's comment after that was that they shoot u alot, but what exactly is their interpretation of the word "shoot"? to me, it means asking unreasonable qns, things that are illogical...i mean, in an interview, it is quite normal to have some qns that u dont have the knowledge or ability to provide an ans to... ...i guess the main thing is to be urself. For everything that i mentioned during the interview, i stand by it, believe in it, have always thought it, am accountable to it. hmms the nxt stag wld be the interview stage, aarghs! dislike elections! all that talking... ... nvm just random musings...
i read constance msg to everyone esp the jnrs...ideally, achievements in academics arent suppose to be our main goals in life, our values and lifestyles are not supposed to be based on them, yet they play such a significant role in determining our futures... how CONTRADICTORY the world is! yupps and we shd treasure the people around us, life never turns out the way it shd be... ... gosh! i have become so philosphical and pensive these days...

HOHOHO
YAY! Angklung performance was great fun, although Constance keeps shouting: "Noreen! Keep quiet!" and the rest of the angklungnites followed suit! humph! they all bully me de! hahas... ... but nvm i shall be a nice girl and forgive all of you! lol.
Before i talked on about Angklung's performance at Esplanade, i would like to thank everyone who was concerned for me due to my previous entry....No, i am not sad or depressed. A more suitable word would be PENSIVE. i recognise my mistakes and shortcomings and am trying constantly to improve on them. Sometimes, after doing something, i realise how dumb my actions was and... ... and what i said in my previous entry IS true, i find that i am lacking in confidence most things that i do, i think the key problem is in it is okay to make mistakes, even big mistakes, just make sure u learn from it... ...yupps :)
okays back to angklung performance, it was one exciting but tiring performance man! anyways, i think i still havent got the hang of shaking the angklung hard enough and long enough for cresendos! aahs i shd go build on my wrist strength man! I certainly can tell the improvement that the J1s have made during the performance, everyone was much more confident of their own note and everything is beginning to fall in place nicely.... our seniors keep emphasizing on feel...feeeeeeeeeel the muuuuuuuusic...................flow.......hahas, all these reminds me of AQUA...water.....
it was great to feel the adrenaline rush while playing and after that, the exhilaration of having done a good job... ...i guess this performance have somehow bonded Angklung as a whole, intra-levels and inter-levels.... ....i will definitely miss the seniors when they step-down......such a sad notion.......especially my fellow 4 normal senior ilona.............without her around i will be stressed to perform well, cos she plays so well, and no one to cover all my mistakes any longer! aaaaaaaaaaaahs

reflections

elects camp!
elects camp was a really great experience...when ppl asked me how was it, i said: " tiring, but fun". however, these three words are actually inadequate to describe my feelings for the camp...how i learned so much for my seniors, the efforts that our seniors have put into the camp to make these 3 days real meaningful, how each and every activity has its own significance, how i bonded with my team mates, how i grew from the the start till the end of the camp, the horrible mistakes that i made and how i learned...........i suppose u can say that the camp was a life-changing, impactful experience...
to quote grace's blog:
"Everything done in the camp serves to train and instill in the 39th Student Council what that was required to last through our term. It is through this camp, that I've seen what Council really is. Its not just another CCA, nor is it like being in prefectorial board. It asks for more.Trust.Cooperation.Determination.Unity.Discipline.Support.And more."
We are not 69 elects,
WE ARE ONE COUNCIL....
we think, move even speak as ONE BODY.
for everything that the seniors have done. i want to say BIG
THANK YOU!

council
OH no! council speech is next wed and i havent write my speech yet! so far my poster have not been put up yet but it is going to be up there on monday! YUCKS! my ugly photo! nvm.
OH no! i missed angklung practice on wednesday due to speech workshop and everyone learned a new song! aarghs! heard that there are lots of challenging parts for 4 normal, even ilona also havent got it yet....this reminds me of the 44 04 04 04 04 04 04 4 part when i first started off.......how?
OH mno! my hw pile is stacking up due to council and my laziness..........i simply feel like lazing around all day...eat,sleep,play,watch TV.....ahhhh what a wonderful life!
OH no! NAPFA is like nxt week and nxt nxt week! the latest 2.0km run was rather dissappointing...haix......
YAY! i went to hc hostel on thursday for bbq with my class gals! the food was yummy! thank you yushan for your efforts and for inviting us! our class guys abit antisocial only, at first want to come de then never come in the end! LOUSY! the one and only exception was chingfei and his neither guy nor gal he is a gay! lol.
YAY! IFD is over! Thank you to all the AQUA elects that made this a SUCCESS!to those that didnt pass the council interviews, dont be discouraged kaes! you all are leaders in my eyes! its council's loss and your gain.
the past week has been rather eventful, from standing at the podium on monday morning to going for the HC hostel bbq....what fun!
btw, if u think i had a wierd facial expression when i was standing at the podium and dont seem to be looking at the crowd but seem rather interested in some detail i nthe scenery.....it is because we were supposed to be serious when we were standing there, cannot smile to obvious and wave...since an outgoing person like me wont be able to resist doing stuff that wld disgrace myself, i was concentrating on that thing faraway so that i wont happen to look at anyone i noe and smile....hahas........that's the reason behind the wierd expression.(:
eileen said my tie was short, whateva la! u come and tie my tie la since u so pro! anyways, i was told the length is OKAY! hahas. the first day of wearing tie was horrible and take some getting use to...i miss the sn tie which is softer 'cos it costs abt $25 and made of silk, unlike the nj one which is cotton or some stiff material and costs only $6........and the lion on the tie is headless! hahas or rather the head end is as thick as the neck.........after awhile wearing the tie is okay, and so is tucking in ur shirt.though, given the opportunity, i agree with grace aka er di that we shd promote drawstrings! it is advantageous to comfort and neatness..though some people wld take advantage of it and wear their shirt really long... and when u run, like that time i was late for one of the council elects meetings, my shirt was dropping out from the sides already, that wld definitely not happened if i used a drawstring. and one more thing, being late for council meetings is no small matter... councillors really emphasized on punctuality and every single minute counts...that time that i was late, grace's mortal ask me abt it and i cant really reply....felt quite guilty and bad abt it...shall jia you nxt time..... what can i really say? i was late becos i was late........
anyways, please vote for 61 and 103! wld appreciate it!
Using the alphabet code A = 1, B = 2, C = 3,..., Z = 26: P + R + I + M + E = 61. mr tan shd be delighted to read this! cos its maths (:

btw, if u think i had a wierd facial expression when i was standing at the podium and dont seem to be looking at the crowd but seem rather interested in some detail i nthe scenery.....it is because we were supposed to be serious when we were standing there, cannot smile to obvious and wave...since an outgoing person like me wont be able to resist doing stuff that wld disgrace myself, i was concentrating on that thing faraway so that i wont happen to look at anyone i noe and smile....hahas........that's the reason behind the wierd expression.(:
eileen said my tie was short, whateva la! u come and tie my tie la since u so pro! anyways, i was told the length is OKAY! hahas. the first day of wearing tie was horrible and take some getting use to...i miss the sn tie which is softer 'cos it costs abt $25 and made of silk, unlike the nj one which is cotton or some stiff material and costs only $6........and the lion on the tie is headless! hahas or rather the head end is as thick as the neck.........after awhile wearing the tie is okay, and so is tucking in ur shirt.though, given the opportunity, i agree with grace aka er di that we shd promote drawstrings! it is advantageous to comfort and neatness..though some people wld take advantage of it and wear their shirt really long... and when u run, like that time i was late for one of the council elects meetings, my shirt was dropping out from the sides already, that wld definitely not happened if i used a drawstring. and one more thing, being late for council meetings is no small matter... councillors really emphasized on punctuality and every single minute counts...that time that i was late, grace's mortal ask me abt it and i cant really reply....felt quite guilty and bad abt it...shall jia you nxt time..... what can i really say? i was late becos i was late........
anyways, please vote for 61 and 103! wld appreciate it!
Using the alphabet code A = 1, B = 2, C = 3,..., Z = 26: P + R + I + M + E = 61. mr tan shd be delighted to read this! cos its maths (:

I like...
I like LONG WALKS.
today, i went home with iona tai tai and zihao...its was raining rather heavily and it was quite late in the evening already, i thought the weather suited my mood, i love the cool weather. i feel moody, unenthusiastic and dead today, stressed to a certain extent.
Zi hao's parting phrase to me was,"you are only a J1 and already sighing, what will happen in J2?", that left an impression, and spark a surge of thoughts and reflections in my mind. since journey home after that was pretty much a lonely affair, i had some quality time with myself:)
Though i may appear hyper and childish and happy everyday, it doesnt mean that i dont have days when i am simply down, perhaps merely from the lack of sleep, perhaps for some reasons that i cant tell you... someone once told me that i look angry when i am not smiling, someone once told me that i look sad, perhaps i am? ppl who know me well enough like couse=eileen can tell i guess... but i believe in not harping over bad stuff, what's done, is done, what's past, is past. So am i considered optimistic?
Sighing is a good way to relieve i the "burden" and relax all the tensed muscles, i feel; stress to a certain extent is self-imposed, i think i am stressing myself out! as in ME stress ME. sometimes, i get overly-affected by what others say or that i set too high a standard for myself, tis frustrating!
Am i self-centered? i dont know why my thoughts turn this way, but that was what happened. Has my world always revolved around I and not you or they or them? But if you dont care abt yourself, how can u care abt others? or perhaps i have just interpreted the meaning of self-centered wrongly...
my hands are seriously unstable! especially when i am nervous or scared or neither...after PE, during SPA...is my metabolism rate THAT high? then howcome i am still so fat?! hopefully i will lose some weight this year...or maybe i am suffering from some disease like HYPERTHYROIDISM or ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE?
hahas.....that's pretty much what i though abt on my long walk home frm the bus stop and the windy bus ride....(the bus wasnt air-conditioned)...okays, these are some thoughts that i have always thought abt when i am alone, i guess reflecting is good, in that it helps organise ur thoughts and helps u become a better person...
i would appreciate that u not infer anything from the above text:) Thanks.
