22/01 - 30/01.
Sunday, January 31, 2010 @ 12:15:00 PM
22/01: OGL and CVD!
had OGL test about VMVM and history in the morning and publicity meeting during my one and only break again. -,- lots of things to do! next week is orientation and have lots to finish for publicity. like distribute posters and registration forms to secondary schools. great, i will not be doing presentations anymore. WHATEVER.
last OGL training before the week of orientation comes! we only did our cheers and no others but in the quadrangle. we need warming up and that wasted a bit of time. x= but it should be okay for orientation coz we will be high when we see the JC 1s and thus the time could be a subset of morning assembly. =D
23/01: OGL training!
22nd SC came back to help us! guess 24th cannot handle us (in a way or what), 23rd cannot make it and that is why. WOAH. not easy to handle <100 of us OGLs. not very interested in the neverending POLITICS.
we OGLs really went sky high and showcased each of our cheers, not as the 5 clans but YJC. the standard is achieved only everyone does their part and the feeling is simply great. had 12 rounds after training and i went off immediately after i more or less cooled down. actually no one cared la. so it does not really matter. went for my haircut! the effect was good, i guess. =D
went home to bathe first before meeting jing in town. GOSH. i bet i stank up the whole train and bus twice, to and fro ma. 12 rounds in about 6 songs' timing, 2.4km in about 20 minutes? not very bad la. hahaha. considering i have not ran in a million years.
scolded by my mum and was in a bad mood then do not really want to stay home la. we met in PS starbucks then COV to orchard. walked and chatted, walked and chatted and walked and chatted. took 171 from town to yishun, which was a first time experience coz the ride is long and i usually will not want to stand for the whole long journey home (as compared to standing in the train).
she first sat on the first aid box then i later sat next to her. it was such a roller coaster ride with all the turns and bends. WOAH. an escape theme park ride worth 55 cents! hahaha.
24/01: nua at home day!
dad saw my undercut and asked why is there like a "hole". showed mum and sister and they are okay with it. dad started to joke me becoming a bung. like he might see me holding a girl's hand in town. -,-
25/01: OGL training! released early coz we have math test the next day. had QC for our props for the orientation skit on next mon. WOAH. so excited.
B A D mood. ): went off with tracy, ren hao and jian wei for dinner. initially the guys decided on jalan kayu. but the unwilling tracy told me that it was far and the unwilling me went to hint to the guys that, it is very far leh! hahaha. in the end, we settled for AMK s11 fish and chips. =D
26/01: CF test and OGL training. the test seems easy. =D
mrs kwang promised both 201 and 218 to buy us a cuboid pencil box each if all in the class got A for the test. she also promised the same for the promo paper but the terms is so much more appealing! party leh! but a lot did not make it. hahaha! this time round, she compromised to a B at least.
27/01: sample reaching college early at 0630.
YAWNS. chemistry test was insane. i think if i can get 20%, i will treat my whole class to a buffet. coz i am only confident of 2 marks, empirical formula question.
28/01: orientation day 1.
early in the morning, all gathered in the quadrangle, dispatched to place our bags in the SRC HE room, back to quadrangle and was shouted at to get to the hall immediately. x= i was sort of doing nothing when 26 were in the hall holding the placards and the others welcoming the JC 1s. i was eating my breakfast. hahaha!
but i did things to redeem myself okay! i ran all over to get the doc needed for my OG. what does this mean? communication breakdown. -,- i wonder why OGLs have LONG handphone straps whereby they do not utilize it by hanging on their necks, but putting the phone into the pocket and hanging out the strap. -,-
my (not that i am self-centred and totalitarian but it meant something else) OG 15 was rather down and not warmed up. i think getting response from them during breakfast in the canteen where everyone stared at me for doing so. hahaha! a bit very AA huh. but not as much as some people though.
oh, i saw han ming and emman in OG 16. bringing my OG 15 to the washrooms to change out and next talking to them. telling them my expectations and how i am like as a person (i think i only mentioned that i am loud). hahaha! hall for the nonsensical skit which lasted for only 5 minutes when 45 minutes were allocated to it and the next activity started when i was still eating my breakfast. -,-
generally, i think i am not as good as before. x=
"unpreparedness is the major contributing factor to my cui-ness. to what extent do you agree? thesis: unpreparedness caused the cui-ness.
anti -thesis: insufficient sleep, lack of the presence of her ring and loss of skills also contributed and may have caused more to the cui-ness.
29/01: orientation day 2.
the morale went down again. x= i tried making them laugh and succeeded of course, coz i am THE joke. when i thought i had a good OG, you made me felt otherwise. was it coz i did not reply your texts and that is why you did not co-operate with me? will you dance if i had replied you?
had more ice-breakers and also reminded them of my expectations and told them about abcdfh before proceeding to the hall for college race part 2 briefing. college race part 2 led them sky high. phew! was really glad. mass dance once again made them high, maybe not sky high. hahaha.
generally, glad that my OG was not like the others who did not put in their efforts coz they knew they will be split. as much as they thanked me, i want to thank them for letting me know that i am still good (hahaha, BHB again!) and also brought me mid-sky high.
initially at coffeeshop, then BK, e18ghteen chefs and back to BK for dinner. stayed there until almost 9 when we headed for home. SHAG.
what made me felt worse was that i did not attempt to communicate, go home early to rest and not sleeping after i reached home but PLANNING to do those things which are impossible with that state of mine. x= such as taking my work to think through how to do. my gosh. i am BEYOND retarded.
30/01: math re-test which is such a failed one.
i studied for the wrong paper. -,- i cannot believe myself. what others said made sense. if there was to be a re-test, everyone should sit for it together which made me surer that today's re-test was for the JC 1 topics. OMG.
cleared my table which i already started to stack things on it after a few days. x= when i stack things up, it either means i do not care or i am too tired. i admit that the first stacking was done when i do not care. but i also have to clarify that for the second time, i was too tired after orientation.
like mentioned earlier, i was too tired and it is also my fault. for not communicating, for not going home early to rest and for not sleeping after i reached home but PLANNING to do those things which are impossible with that state of mine. x=
17/01 - 21/01.
Thursday, January 21, 2010 @ 12:30:00 AM
17/01: CVD meeting at northpoint starbucks.
met lay woon and aaron at mac, after they have all eaten, including sheryl and skandan, we made our way to starbucks. i saw loo hui hui! we have not met each other since the official opening of YTSS new campus. that was one year ago! purposely made it sound so long ago. hahaha.
discussion all the way till 6pm when we left for home and unconceived plans of staying over at mac to finish our work. slides and tutorials.
18/01: schoolday 6 as a JC 2, year 3.
lots of work undone! chem math econ tutorials lagging! oh man. i am starting proper work by 7th feb, when orientation ends. i shall think about CVD next. like how much work more to do. x= busy with slides for briefing to JC 2s on thu!
am i ready for the JC 2 fiasco? x=
19/01: CA 1, 2, 3 test.
confirmed failure. when mrs kwang said, "there is third test for all other classes, but for my class, it is special." if you are looking towards the positive end, think again. "you will take until all of you pass. and each test must be improved by 10 marks." was her next statement. my gosh. x=
OGL training after the test but i went off for CVD meeting. slides are not done, teachers talked to the whole committee and our sub committee stayed back and then moved to ishimura to complete.
this is just the beginning! x=
20/01: OGL and CVD clashing!
of course i have to give ALL my attention to CVD as the briefing is tml! went to b1-05 to complete the slides till 1945, saw something which i DO NOT, WILL NOT and DID NOT see and we moved out to block 760 to discuss more details, a mini debate session before moving off to the coffeeshop for dinner and finalization of slides.
need to come up with the confirmed slides, contents, animations, speeches and finally the presentation!
am i cutting myself too much slack? x=
21/01: CVD presentation!
i did the slides till 0045, finished my script only at 0300 and almost at the same time as lay woon. looked through my slides, checked my script against the slides, checked hers against the slides and lastly, a bit of MDWAV IV before sleeping at 0430.
totally weak when i woke up. insufficient sleep plus wobbly thigh muscles due to strenuous PE after 4 months of nua-ing. frantically preparing and trying to get my script digested. but failed. -,-
did not bring my adaptor and everyone was worried that my laptop will have insufficient strength for the assembly. in the end, it was fine, but the worries are not uncalled for!
presentation was fine! =D except me constantly mixing YJC, YOG and CVD up. effects of my humour, BOOMZ and YO were not bad. hahaha! lay woon did great too. she was much smoother. and i was too easily distracted by the people at the backstage. x=
in life, only SOME efforts pay off while some will never. x=
talked to jasmine again about my things, her things and about unit. am i too predictable or does she know me too thoroughly? hahaha. i doubt that she is blind la huh. take care! (:
JC 2 week 1.
Saturday, January 16, 2010 @ 7:20:00 PM
overview of JC 2 week 1.
math, chem and econ tests screwed. glad that i did not have history test BUT if there was one, i think i would have scored for it like for promo question two. =D
moving to other things. CVD meetings and OGL trainings have been picking up on a more frequent basis. orientation is starting on 28th and CVD is on 27th feb. though it seems quite far later, all the work must be done at least a month beforehand!
LOADS OF THINGS TO DO!
1. CVD.
2. OGL.
3. math CA test on 19th.
4. math CF 3 test on 28th.
5. math test review. x=
6. chem retest.
7. READY FOR JC 2 LIFE.
10/01 - 16/01.
@ 7:00:00 PM
10/01: chiong homework day!
in the end, if you are in my classes, you should know that it was not very successful. hahaha. as i had to do my work in college!
went for CIBTC AAR from 12 to 6. dinner at home and prepare for lessons!
i cannot wait to know how will JC 2 and being with you more turn out to be like. should i be hopeful about the 4-month issue?11/01: first day back in college!
parade commander was almost late! due to the principal's talk, PE was left with 20 minutes. =D boring lessons as usual. like ec, CH, ma and GP.
OGL training four.
no more mass dance sessions i suppose? hahaha.
i could not think of a reason why you are SO nice and SO sweet to me. as friends? but isn't that too close to be just friends? i really do not know and wish to get the key to your locked mind. ):12/01: cannot remember much.
went out to meet jing at mac. jing took my phone and wanted to delete everything away, but i got agitated and took it back. sat there for 1.5 hours, talked to her before going off when her mum came.
talked to qinyi and jiahui after i reached home till 12 plus which i told them i need to sleep coz of lessons tml. such a sweet story they had, such sweet experiences that both enjoyed with each other.
i want my emotions, tears and everything unleashed, but it just did not happen. wonder why am i doing this to myself? trying to destroy my life further by wanting to hang onto you and ALMOST re-picking up something what i have took time, effort and endurance to quit.13/01: lessons ended early!
i was exploited of my time to do my work. ): in the end, i only managed to finish my history. by rights, i could have finished all my work except the GP articles (coz i think i will only do it by the last minute). i was at the wednesday expresso due to the exploitation, went to the band booth and talked to andrea, netball booth to talk to qinyi, jiahui and kailin, SRC to finish my work and lastly, quadrangle to see the last part of training when things happened and waited for hong yu and tracy.
did cheer practice with marv leading at wed ex. ended about 7.
dinner with the netballers and tinghui. stayed on to talk to qinyi and jiahui.
reality struck real fast and all the impacts came hitting right into my face, repeatedly one by one over this week. what a way to start my JC 2 life. well, in the view of qinyi, jiahui and of course mrs teo, it is still early in the year. never hope that the impacts came later, such as before major exams like the previous O's?14/01: parade commanding with retarded skirt.
one thing to clarify, my skirt is not tight. -,- it may seem so as i have to make it look longer. it was successful for looking longer, but not normal. thus, looking as if it was too small for me.
stood for GP for the lesson, but others got thrown out for not bringing the book. x= ma, CH, HT and then break. wasted the history lesson away coz we were talking about anything and everything. rather easy to start mrs low talking.
two droning hours of math after that and i melted down a little.
it may seem that i am emo today. but i was thinking about a lot, a lot of things. such as, what should i do if it is confirmed? what are my plans? what will my reaction when i become honest? i hate to think of these, and thus avoided such questions for the past 4 months.15/01: first EC.
who was the first to remind mrs kwang that we have 1.5 hours of lessons when she wanted to stop after one hour? -,- super irritating.
one thing to clarify, i am not fat okay! i have to lose weight, i know coz i am not very happy with my current shape, but i am not fat! or maybe, i THINK that i am not?
did group work about an essay question meant for RJC students. totally cracking our lousy YJC brains. x= meeting with ms kwok and publicity. left halfway, and my things left in SRC. x= lunch bought by hong yu and chemistry tutorial with a question shot from andy chng to me. to think that he said that he only will call out those he does not know. -,- he called me after he said he knows the parade commander!
i did not believe that i will doze off during lessons for at least the first week, first proper history tutorial, but i did that. totally gone for the whole tutorial when mrs low started talking about the lecture slides. not that she is boring, maybe a bit due to the afternoon heat, maybe another bit due to the fact that it is the last lesson though not from four to five, BUT i only slept from 0645 to 0800. x= trying to finish all the GP articles.
dinner with kai lin. of course we talked about many things over dinner. from the point we met each other to saying bye, it was two hours.
guess that my life has to go on without you. ):16/01: OGL training five.
reported at 0830, had scolding and punishment which is 5 rounds of the track. delayed till 0920, house meeting till 0930 and telematch started.
same group as the college race's group. travelled from stations to stations, games to games and finally, "protect the paper" which is jing's station, my last station. informed that we cannot play with water BUT we poured the water away, onto people. what was great was that jing poured half the bottle onto me.
mass dance with kun yuan. me and the other guys had to teach him while dancing, with cedrick acting pro nia. after that, YJ banja and an action "song". debrief, more punishments, cheer practice and HOME.
whatever emotions to be spilled, have been done over these few days.
the NEED to get over you,
the DESIRE to tell you everything,
the RELUCTANCE to let go of you, so much.saw the below paragraph in my email today.
"LIBRA - The Harmonizer
Nice to everyone they meet. Can't make up their mind. Have own unique appeal. Creative, energetic, and very social. Hates to be alone. Peaceful, generous. Very loving and beautiful. Flirtatious. Give in too easily. Procrastinators. Very gullible."
true true, how true those words are.
07/01 - 09/01.
Saturday, January 9, 2010 @ 5:45:00 PM
07/01: department meeting and mugging.
reluctantly woke up at 1130 for the meeting at 1230. settled the logo FINALLY, more or less the shirts and the flyers. publicity work is finishing soon (i hope)! left with banners, posters, collboration with YOG, facebook and distribution of shirts when they are here.
studied for math test after that. nothing much is going in. x= felt really tired in the SRC and thus, i returned home at 6.
I NEED
UNDISTURBED SLEEP!
08/01: math test and CVD meeting!
confirmed failure. =D
was late coz i have to get home to bring my laptop. -,- stood for 25 minutes and sat after that. more and more things stagnant! come on, come on. wasted 2 hours doing some things. irritated by everything.
dinner at subway with tracy, ren hao and jian wei. talking about nonsense, serious things and some fooling around. hahaha.
the non existent distance between us. (:09/01: OGL training three!
did everything time-wasting from 9 to 10 (and some productive work la huh) and got more injured. yi shang wei hao, yi shang you lai (yi bo wei ping, yi bo you qi). x=
college race trial. cikgu asked, what is the purpose of going through this. well. as who i am, i knew exactly what to say. but i guess something is still holding me back. must remove that barrier by monday, the next training!
things like, "trouble shooting from the leaders' views, trouble shooting from the participants' views, seeing if the activities are fun, finding out the AFIs and going through the experiential cycle".
race started and i managed to come up with a list of AFIs and things to take note. waiting for a proper debrief which i think OGL trainings have been lacking. mass dance in the hall under cikgu's supervision. she expressed her disappointment which i clearly can understand why. seniors and peers came back today so i can expect more shyt.
indeed, shyt came, not from the seniors, but the peers and the juniors, MY junior. i feel so insulted, just coz they have the brand, student leaders stamped on their faces, their bodies, their limbs and their arses, they did all the nonsense.
when my batch sucks, i think the younger stinks.
- this is not based on one incident today nor is it based on today.
maybe due to what is it in human beings like you and me, i prefer the seniors. shermaine talked to us in a NICE tone, respected us like how she would want RESPECT from us and eventually got it, boosted our falling-into-an-endless-pit MORALE (which then again, i think this should not be happening as we OGLs should have everlasting high morale) and TAUGHT us things which no one had, YET (as benefit of the doubt).
discussed this with anurag and again with hong yu over journey and lunch at KFC. ultimate value box and the ULTIMATE hong yu. (:
we walked from KFC to RSH and other sports shops, popular, giordano and cold storage. we talked about OGL training, our dreams (not ambitions that kind of dreams), licenses, academics, texts, maths trail next year (suggesting pulau ubin? LOL), shirts and shoes. home sweet home!
to prevent myself from falling asleep, i did housework again. and checking everywhere for updates. freshly created FACEBOOK, hotmail, yahoo mail, blogger, LJ, LMS, yahoo groups and now blogging! feels quite good to be alone at home. =D
tml is the CIBTC AAR. quite glad that i already finished mine and submitted. just left with the long hours tml to go through everything! like what the committee has done for the past 3 months. summarizing everything in (estimated by me) 8 hours?
LOADS OF THINGS TO DO!
1. CVD.
2. OGL.
3. AAR.
4. chemistry test on monday.
5. forty GP articles.
6. history reflectionS.
7. econ test on tue.
8. math test review. x=
9. math tests on 19th and 28th.
10. ready for 2010!

Wednesday, January 6, 2010 @ 6:15:00 PM
some new year resolutions for 2010.
review of last year's which is the same as 2008's.

3. earn more money?
4. keep my temper in MORE check.
5. take care of myself.
6. quit as many bad habits (too many to list).

2. get everything i want. =D
3. save to spend!
4. be more healthy! exercise more!

01/01 - 06/01.
@ 6:00:00 PM
01/01: dinner at xiao yun's!
met up with her at admiralty mrt station and she was with celeste and gui qin. we went to buy drinks and xiao yun was complaining about the mango trees. apparently a mango landed on her one day. x=
explored her house a little and here comes everyone! her godparents with their families and her lawyer. of course, me, yvonne, huimin, celeste and qui qin. =D played cards in her room with white and red wine.
"come everyone, DAH!" =D
02/01 - 04/01: i forgot. hahaha.
but i think i did housework. like washing the fans, vacuuming the floor. i remembered having manhattan fish market for dinner on sunday. that is all i remember.
05/01: CVD meeting!
updates of deadlines and department stuff!
06/01: OGL training.
going through of canberra cheers and decided on combining some! i am brainstorming for more! canberra and most importantly, we three must BOOMZ the whole orientation la. =D
ice breakers. and i am injured by hong yu! ):
oh. and derrick came over and say to us, who here knows the mass dance? after being sabotaged by bruce, tracy sabotaged me. thus me and derrick danced for peirce and canberra. going there, i cheered and said, i am finally back in peirce and introduced myself to them.
come on, that is the OGL spirit, right?
mass dance in the hall. SIAN. must partner someone of opposite sex. x= i partnered marvin, hong yu and cedrick while tracy's partner is royston. i had fun dancing with marvin. plus being the guides for hong yu and cedrick who missed orientation and have never danced the mass dance before.
for once, me and cedrick switched places, cedrick and marvin switched again and we danced! all in all, i danced with hong yu while marvin danced with cedrick. without the guides, i can tell that they cannot dance as well as the previous trials. x=
extra training on sat! woah!
after that, lunch with jing, tracy and zheng rui. back home to revise for tests then ms kwok reminded me of the designs. oh man. back to that again. and i realized i know nuts about the program tracy downloaded for me. x=
jing is at my house now. studying while i am blogging. so much work for me to do!
blogging is done. still got CVD, OGL, revision for math test, chemistry test, econ test and the 40 newspaper articles! ):
finally blogging again. it feels quite good. =D

clearing up and clearing up. left his house at about 0115. reached home at 2 when jeremy drove me, vincent, brandon and yong kang home.
25/12: christmas at aunt's!
went with sis to aunt's place. nothing much to do except helping with the food, as in help to not cook but also arranging and eating. =D clarissa said she does not like my hairstyle, and i told her meanly, "i do not really care you know. coz the others find my hairstyle now nicer." hahaha. mean huh.
feasted and started drinking when the sun sets. coz i thought it was quite early to drink initially. like 5 plus 6, so i told my uncle when the sun sets. hahaha. the moment the sky darkens, he came over to me and reminded me.
viewing of my aunt's pictures when they visited korea. nice scenery! with the snow and my cousins freezing. hahaha. receiving presents next. got a wallet from my aunt and chocolates from my cousin. wallet was from penang when i said i wanted it then my aunt said it shall be for christmas. x=
26/12: went out with them! =D

.jpg)
lunch at cathay astons.
.jpg)

.jpg)
movie (bodyguards and assassins) at the cathay. great movie! home sweet home then. ):
27/12: nua nua nua.
28/12: CVD meeting.
mr oun's style: some ice breakers first! something like taboo.
next was stuff proper. went through what the others did last year for CVD, each department's stuff and department meeting.
29/12: OGL first training.
which was a meeting that they told us what they expected of us, AAR of orientation 2009 and some mini ice breakers.
after that, me, aaron and jeremy celebrated jia hui's birthday for him.
not fun getting very high huh. hahaha. when i got slightly high, i went over to the swing and started to swing myself. x= called many people but none of them picked up. only xiao xing did. thanks a lot for listening to my nonsense. =D
me talking nonsense to xiao xing, aaron disturbing me when i was on the phone, jeremy squatting next to the open drain, jia hui without his shirt. hahaha.
we were walking back to khatib mrt station, beside cchsy, i saw song rong. i told them that he is a CI and guess what did jia hui do? he recited the NPCC pledge. omg! and no errors okay! hahaha.
30/12: unit orientation campfire!
did my AAR then went to unit for campfire. i reached there at 4, continued setting up the structure and the campfire pit. two tripods, campfire pit and the securing of the 'stage'. drizzle came and left us, thank god.
i realized there are some annual questions, annual replies and annual reactions during campfire. XD. it might be the same again next year, if nothing goes wrong! i fed fire for the first or second time? i think i did last year, for orientation campfire too. no other opportunities offered. x=
unit meeting and i think i am supposed to type the minutes? LOL. minor clearing up and home sweet home.
31/12: countdown with charlians at hongliang's!
went over to the bus stop to tampines and saw terence and wen qi. they are also going over to hongliang's place for the new year party. waited for bryan, melvin and pan shin who were awfully late! x= missed 5 buses and took the 6th one at 1745 when meeting time was at 1730 at tampines. hahaha.
watched dvds while eating pizzas and drinking ILT, IAT, green tea and ice cream soda. scream 3 is good while borat was, erm, hilarious? LOL. amazed by the plot and the way they made the movie. hmm. will bruno be the same? i have the dvd at home yet finds it difficult to watch. hahaha.
all of them went home early and threw me and hongliang there. -,- watched murders of the inugami clan when the others called us and starting counting down. i merely said happy new year to hongliang and continued to watch the movie. hahaha!
anyway, what attracted me to watch was the fact that the storyline had kindaichi (jin tian yi) to solve the murders but it was not the young one. but a 50 odd years-old kindaichi with dandruff. x=
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
