firstly an A/distinction for a levels chinese, which was totally unexpected but yeah, really good.
and secondly was ssef silver for our really joke project. never expected but in the end was still good.
oh well. lets hope this would carry on~
I guess it's too late to regret now.
come to think of it. its going to be my last year of school. really cant imagine what's going to happen. things just come and go so quickly. kind of looking forward to it also. yeah.
anyway, quite a lot of things to handle also. arp and orientation. and a whole bunch of APs to take when school reopens. also might need to study for SAT if I really want to go for a scholarship. really hoping to get into a UK uni next time :D
last week of November, 1 more month of holidays to go.
Well, these few weeks have been really eventful, shall go all the way back till the last week of school. PEAs and stuff, but convocation rehearsal allowed me to skip almost everything :D Penang guys came on thursday evening, and I got back my transcript on Friday. Had to check out of hostel, which was one annoying thing to do. Did okay for this semester, nevertheless i'm still aiming for my 4.5cap so that i can graduate with a high distinction.
well. on that thursday evening, i went to the airport to pick up the penang guys. nevertheless they made us wait 1 and a half hours before they showed up >=(
brought them around frm friday all the way to tuesday when they flew off. went to marina area, orchard, bugis, westcoast for bowling and punggol where they stayed. really awesome guys to make friends with: bryan, weiho, tze hsien, weisern, guangyuan and zizhen haha you guys were awesome:D looking forward to see you guys in the future! when i visit penang in the near future :D miss you guys.
@ marina bay sands watching the awesome light show. really nice picture! =)
last day @ chris's house with the awesome penang-er mr sean yee! haha.oh. not to forget, on sunday had dinner with ms lee, as she's leaving us for SST =(
cca mates.. teacher and seniors who are leaving us next year. aiming to have more enthusiasm for my cca next year. kind of regretted keeping silent much throughout this year's cca sessions, next year, last year. shall enjoy every single bit of it!
Convocation 2011. again i helped out as an usher. well this time the guest of honor was the minister of education. really big deal and he had bodyguards :O
well, there goes another batch of students, which are my seniors
coming to think of it, im graduating next year, don't know whether im looking forward to it or not, but since its already my last year in school, im super determined to make it the best it can be. kind of regretted spending 50% of my hostel life hiding in my room, and not going out and enjoy. anyway, all the best to my seniors for army and university! you guys are a nice batch of people.lastly, cherylit came back on sunday! ^^ but was with her friends all the way till wednesday. caught a movie together - 那些年, and went kbox. following day universal studios :D really enjoyed every single moment haha, wont be forgetting any of these =) will be missing you a lot! :( all the best in Australia and your university :P
nevertheless my awesome week ended on sunday. and monday came with arp. parents came back from their shopping trip @ hk, bought some stuff for me. haha. somehow, missing this trip was all well worth it =D
well. right now, i still have my ARP to complete :( and orientation to help out. there goes my holidays. but again its always better to be busy then be extremely free.
did okay for math and English.
bio was 60-65%. as usual. not much improvement apparently.
did better for chem honors then chem major module.
left chinese, and monday is chinese A levels. need to do well for that i guess. haha. will be expecting a B. nothing more, nothing less.
i'm telling myself to study super hard for it. no more stupid mistakes anymore.
Aiming for A for biology this time, especially biochem. and for organic chem, will start mugging hard for it.
2 more weeks to go! jiayou everyone!
tiring but fun!
kind of disappointed for piano exam, nothing much i can do though, but to do well for grd8 next year. will try very hard..
well, 12 more weeks till school ends. loads of tests when school reopens, loads of homework to hand in for next week. gotta chiong T_T
hahah so, went to pulau tioman for a 4 day ecology field trip.
really enjoyed myself. and i really love the scenery there. <3
anyway, just wanna say thanks for spending some time talking to me.
really appreciate it, yup. hope to see you soon, and good luck for everything else :D
took quite a lot of photos.
few pictures which i'm proud of and really like it:D
so went there for 2nd CLISC - Chung Ling International Student Camp
i would say it was pretty fun, all the friends that ive made from different countries.
especially the chung ling people, bryan, jinghan, weiho, ronghui,yeeshuen, yunxuan, ruiyeh etcetc. cant really remember all of your names :( but you guys were awesome and it was really a pleasure making friends with you all.
nevertheless i would like to thank the nushies who came together with the trip, and special thanks to those who lent me your phone:) miss you loads(: hope you will come back soon, because i dont think i will ever go there though. but anyway 2 more week to tioman, then at least im back in malaysia again haha.
so yeah. in short, this camp was really enjoyable and memorable. was doubly sad when i left, but nevertheless i was really glad that i attended the camp.
come to think of it, we made the junior councilors reflect, but what about us?
So,
Why do I want to join council in the first place?
What was my initial motivation to join?
What's my motivation to stay on?
Why did I choose to apply for council exco?
I think its really time to reflect on myself on what i have been doing, and what i want to do. its really no point wasting so much time doing stuff that i dont enjoy, or find it a hassle to do. nevertheless, whenever we start something, we would have to end it off well.
as a senior in council, i would say that my juniors has all grown.
however, i think its myself that its lacking behind. keep having a lot of weird thoughts also. really need to settle down and think through everything carefully.
been thinking about lots of stuff. commitment issue i think is pretty screwed up. looking at my phone calendar, by default, everyday is booked down for arp. then 3 days chalet, and 3 days council camp. which only leaves me with 4 days to work on my arp if i choose to attend both. then exco meetings, as well as selection meetings. really need to come out with a schedule..
been sleeping like at 1am everyday, then waking up at 7am for either morning meetings or arp. lacking rest:( but will always get it on sundays :D now i understand why adults look forward to weekends.
everyday meeting/arp.
really packed .___.
but i kind of enjoy such schedule. i'm so busy that i hardly find myself with nothing to do. 3 more weeks to go before school starts~
when school reopens, its probably gonna be crazy again. missing 1 week of school for penang, then crazy bunch of stuff to settle for council also, find myself slacking much, others spamming emails and stuff, i dont even seem to be like exco member and stuff. i rather be a normal member at this point. kind of lost the drive alr, but guess i gotta work even harder ><
can't wait for the end of term 3!~ =)
now that arp is here, it seems to be a project that i'm rather interested in, so really hope can do it well.
this few days, seem to be bothered with a lot of stuff. totally confused and dunno what to do. hate this feeling.
anyway selection camp in a few more days. now that academic stuff is over, got to focus on non academic stuff already.
maybe we should have more exams, at least it keeps our minds active.
its been about 3 months since i first blogged for this year.
up till now, i still have no idea what im doing for the past last 3 months.
i've seem to lost most of my excitement already.
years ago, when i was about to go overseas, there was this excitement in me.
but just a few weeks ago, before my korea trip, i wasnt ready for it at all, and i only bothered packing few hours before the departure. the excitement factor just wasn't there. it felt like another thing again. however as the days gone by in korea, it proved to be extremely wrong. i learnt much from the koreans from ksa, not only their culture, language but also the way they live their lives. I really enjoyed their hostel stay, and i really liked their school culture and framework, especially banning computers and making students sleep at 12am. In singapore, we have too many pampered kids parents who care too much for their kids. the students in korea stay at the domitories 24/7 throughout the school term. in singapore, we are asked to go back every weekend because our parents "miss us" and they often call up the school for seemingly minor issues. as for the singaporean kids, we keep on relying on our parents for so many things, its time to grow up and get independent. it really pisses me off everytime i see students complain over minor matters, such as mosquito bites, or lousy food, or bed being too hard, room too hot, all of these stupid matters. people even choose to go out for meals, just because they keep complaining that hostel food sucks, hello, you are paying for hostel so just bear with it. why waste your parent's hard earned money on stuff that you dont need? stop complaining already, especially those whiners, just accept what you have, stop making so much noise over such matters. i really don't know why, but i think im being too critical about everything, especially this year. i used to not care about anything around me, but now, when i look around, i get extremely pissed and wish to do something. comparing us to the koreans, in school, they do not argue with the teacher for deadlines, and when quizzes and tests come, they just take it, they dont ask for extensions and push backs. how about us in nus high? students constantly ask the teacher to end class early, stop giving homework, have less quizzes and tests, push back deadlines and so many other stupid stuff. my question would then be, what the hell are you doing in this school? if you cannot cope with the amount of workload than just leave. stop arguing with the teachers, they also have a job to do. it seems to me that the academic standard of our school is decreasing a lot, and this has to do with a lot of our whiney students, complaining about everything. and for all of these stupid things i have observed in my 4+years in nus high, i admit that i have done them before, but from now on, never i will do such things. the korean students in ksa are really a disciplined bunch of people, and i really respect the students there. the students study, the moment they have free time, but our school students would just stay back to play soccer for like 3 hours, complete waste of time, if it was cca i would understand. even in hostel, people are just wasting their time away doing nothing productive, when time can actually be spent studying. the students in ksa dont have the time, and they really treasure the amount of free time they have, but for us, we have so much free time that we can go out of school and waste unnecessary money for anything under the sun. i would really say that our school needs a lot of improvement, especially the students. i really dont know if its the culture here or not that is causing all of these, but from what i have observed over at korea, i'm extremely determined to change myself as an individual.
as of now, im starting to regret whatever i have done so far, and i have been constantly asking myself if all of my past decisions were right or not. thoughts of leaving council has always been floating in my mind, and i really have no idea what to do with it. thoughts of changing school was already present during the end of year 2, and its back again. however, the step has already been taken and there's no path of return. i just hate it when there's so many thoughts floating through my head, and i keep thinking so much that i just ignore all of them, and the cycle keeps repeating because there's just so much happening around. i believe i was letting out quite a bit of fustration above...
anyway, i really enjoyed the 1 week march holiday spent in KSA, busan, korea.
it was one of the most enlightening and enjoyable trip i have ever had in my 16 years of life. if any of you korean students happen to see this, i really want to say thanks for hosting me, especially yeosan my buddy and the rest of you guys there.
i'm really glad that i went to ksa for exchange and not other schools, because you guys have really shown me a lot and i have really learnt much from just the 1 week i was there:)
My Orientation Journey
It all started off on the 15th of October, 6.30pm @ E2-07.I entered this classroom, where everyone looked really sleepy and tired.During that meeting, it was total chaos, and I really got disinterested. Like totally.Had a few days of complaining, and being really pissed about it.The exams came and well, I forgot about everything.
Nevertheless, little did I know that 24 days later, I would become the overall IC for orientation, together with Shahid Hussain Nowshad and Charles Wong.
18th November 2010, 2.30pm. 1st Meeting for all SLs involved in orientation. I was really amazed at the numbers which turned up, it was close to 80. Well, during that time, I wasn't really sure about what I was about to do, or what I was about to expect. But I believed that by giving my 300%, things should be able to work out right.
Well, so we split everyone up into the different committees, headed by the SC'11 EXCO and the House EXCO.
Amazing Race Y1: Janice
Station Games Y2&4: Deborah, Kangraye, Ji-Hyun
Amazing Race Y3: Nicky
House Games: Weihan and Meifang
Life@Nus High: Yu Han
Unity Activity: Zikai, Amanda Tang
Mass Dance: Andrew, Christine
Campfire: Chris, Rachel, Teckchye
And so the planning started...
27th-29th December 2010. Pre-Orientation Camp
This was when all the Student Leaders(SLs) came together as one for the camp, in preparation for orientation.
Councilors and house leaders were no different, each and everyone of us similar. We had a similar goal in mind, which was to carry out the best orientation no matter what. Thanks to Raghav and the alumni, all the SLs got up their drive, and we were on full speed ahead for the upcoming orientation. No doubts, at that point of time, all the SLs were spending their days in school working on orientation, sacrificing much of they rest time during the holidays.
3rd January 2011. We came together as one SL board in preparation for orientation. Everyone was hyped up, and was both mentally and physically prepared for it. Did some last minute packing and preparations, and soon after, we were all set to go.
4th-6th January 2011. Arise. Sync, Soar, Scale. :D I guess both the students and the SLs can say that we have achieved this goal. Especially during the campfire night, during the awesome mass dance where the whole school was singing and dancing along. It was really heartwarming to see such a scene, one that has never happened before in my 4 years of Life in NUS High. I believe that most of the students enjoyed all the activities, and really had fun. After all, what's orientation about without having fun? :D Watching the entire school so hyped up and cheering all the way without stopping. It was just simply awesome. Not to mention, that we have never gotten so hyped up and enthusiastic about such events before, and judging by this at the start of the year, I believe that all the students would really keep this excitement in them, and carry it on throughout the year. Well, it goes on and on and on! (:
Anyway, all of these could have not been possible without the active participation of the entire school, and the help of the teachers and as well as the student leaders.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over here, I would really like to thank the entire orientation planning committee for your hard work and effort put in into this massive and awesome event.
To Janice & Team: I really think that you guys are awesome, being able to cope with all the last minute changes, especially on the water games part. You guys really did well for this Amazing Race. I believe that all the year 1s really did enjoy themselves throughout the race. Thanks so much for putting in so much effort to carry out this so smoothly and cautiously. I hope that you guys really did have fun!
To Nicky & Team: Thanks so much for coming out with the amazing race for the year 3s. Despite the many problems with the locations and the wet games, you guys still made this really awesome and fun for the year 3s. I believe that it would be memorable for all of them.
To Kangraye, Deborah, Ji-Hyun and Team: I think that you guys are really awesome. Despite so many problems that you have faced, you guys still managed to come out with an awesome program to entertain the year 2s and year 4s. Although it was pretty messy from what I heard, I believe that the students really appreciated whatever you have planned for them, and it was still pretty much a success. Keep up the good work! :D
To Meifang, Weihan and Team: I think the house games were really awesome! It seemed to be a really hard activity to coordinate, but in the end it was actually pretty smooth. Thanks so much for coming out with these activities:D Special thanks to Pinyee, Shuhui and Shiyi. The three of you were the youngest in this comm, but nevertheless, you guys proved to me that age makes no difference. Although your ICs were away, you guys took the initiative to finish up everything else. I was really amazed and I'm proud of you guys (:
To Andrew, Christine and the rest of the Mass Dance Comm: You guys were fantastic, coming out with such an awesome mass dance that even until now, I'm still so hyped up by it. I believe that all of your efforts were worth it, all the rehearsals and dance practices during the holidays and especially the y6s who took time out from their ARP. Also, thanks for taking charge of the SL skit, I'm really sorry for throwing it to you guys to handle. But nevertheless you guys did a great job! Mass Dance <3
To Chris, Rachel, Teckchye and Team: I believe that you guys really worked hard for the campfire. From building Popobawa out from scratch, to coordinating all the performances during the campfire. It was all well worth it. I'm sure everyone really enjoyed the campfire although it was indoor. You guys were really awesome, having to suddenly come out with a change of plan, and handled it so smoothly. And although we spent so much time cleaning up the grandstand/track, you guys still managed to work out something to make orientation end off with a bang. Good job guys! :D
To Amanda, Zikai and Team: I'm sure that the unity activity was one of the toughest thing to plan. The idea got rejected so many times, and you guys had to keep coming out with new ideas. But all in all, judging by the final product, those trolleys seemed to be much more useful and presentable then the PET rockets which we suggested before. We can still use them for house carnivals and stuff! :D I'm sure that the students really enjoyed them! (:
To Yu Han and Team: Thanks for coordinating the entire LIFE @ NUS High skit. Although it was only 30mins long, but I'm sure that the year 1s and 3s really did enjoy it. I'm really sorry for forgetting some of my lines. :(
To Amanda, Cheryl and Choir members: Thanks for coordinating the last minute teaching of the school song, which I happened to ask you guys like 2 days before. I believe that it went pretty well.
To Candice, Shi Ni and the other OGLs: I thank you guys for carrying out your role so well. Thanks for taking care of your classes during these few days. I'm sure that you have definitely made an impact in the lives of the new kids. Special thanks to Shao Hao, Zikri and Pan Chuen for being the replacement OGLs during the amazing race. I hope that you guys had fun! :D
To Charles and Shahid: Thanks for being there all the time to coordinate the entire orientation. I really enjoyed working with you guys, especially late at night *wink wink* :D I'm sure this orientation would be something that we will never forget.
To Daniel and Andrew: You guys are the most awesome emcees! I'm sure that all the kids love you, and maybe even the teachers :P Without you, the entire orientation would not have been so smooth. Thanks for leading all the cheers until you lost your voices!
To Mrs Chong and the other staff: Thanks so much for staying up so late every night just to help and guide us in planning this orientation. Without your advices, I don't think that we would be able to make this orientation a success. Thanks for coordinating everything, especially with the AV crew, estate dept and SM, and especially for all the last minute changes. All of these would not have been possible without the help of you teachers. :D
To Chris, Rachel, Meifang, Weihan and all the other house leaders: I really have to thank you guys especially for day 2 and 3 for coordinating all the house related stuff, especially for the unity activity and the house performances. Also, I think you guys really did a great job in making your houses so hyped up and excited about orientation. I was so amazed during the half hour after the house games, where everyone was in their houses cheering so loudly. And especially campfire night, during the cheers session. You guys just totally rocked the hall out. Good job in raising your house spirits up all the way. I believe that we can maintain these throughout the year, and continue this awesome job all the way! :D
To Sabrina Tang: Thanks so much for volunteering to help out for all the props making. Even though you didn't have a role to play, I really want to say thanks to you for helping out with all the props. The cave, artifacts, spell books, costumes and many more. Also, I must say thanks for the awesome Orientation logo design, it was really awesome! Thanks so much for sacrificing so much of your holiday to help us out :D
I would like to say thanks to all the other SLs whom have helped out in one way or another. Whether you were a cameraman, station master or a mascot, you have helped to contribute to this year's orientation. Thanks for carrying out all of your roles to the best of your ability and taking the initiative to help out. We could not have done this without you guys.
Lastly I would like to say thanks to everyone whom have participated in this orientation. Without your enthusiasm and excitement, whatever that we have planned would not have succeeded at all. This orientation was planned for you guys and I really hope that all of you really enjoyed it. I hope that this would be an unforgettable memory in your life at NUS High. LETS ALL ROCK ON AS A SCHOOL THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR!
SC'11Continue maintaining your drive throughout the year and make this year an unforgettable one! :D
been finding myself going to school/doing school related stuff these few days.
Looking at my december calender, i only have 8/31 days free.
council camp tomorrow.
hope it does not rain:)
holidays gone.
council camp,
orientation planning.
this is getting crazier and crazier.
anyway today is the last day of lessons together as a class. m10402.
seriously. i think most people would feel sad as next year we are going to split class again.
but instead of feeling sad, i'm actually pretty excited and looking forward to the splitting of classes.
unlike in year2, back then i was rather sad when i knew that it was going to be our last year together as m08205. it was the class "spirit", all the bonds that we have made and awesome friendship in that class that made me have the feeling of not wanting to leave.
having being in my new class for almost 2 years, i haven't really sensed the class spirit, and although yes i have made some friends, these friendship that i have made isnt as close as those from year 1 and year 2. i may seem to be rather quiet and reserved at times, but yeah, it has really left me thinking about what i actually can do. but most of the time, i just give up and think that there is really no hope for the class, why even bother trying. in a class where 1/2 the people are foreigners, its really hard to organise anything, let alone even a simple class outing. communication problems, lazy people... --> makes me feel unenthu about it.
over the past 2 years in 302/402, the only possible successful class outing we ever had was the bbq at wenhui's place. at least 1/2 the class turned up. quite a good sign. but as usual, the remaining people are either too obsessed with mugging, or are just lazy. so, what exactly is this class anyway? its not even considered as a class, its only a venue where people come just to have lessons, and leave after that. although yes, new friends were made, but no doubt, the impact left on me is not as great as the one i experienced in year 2.
this has led me thinking, am i trying? or am i giving up too easily? for this entire 2 years, what have i exactly done? i would say that i haven't really done much at all. from stepping out to talk to others, and trying to make friends. although sometimes i do try, but something keeps holding me back. in this year sem2, we had a new mentor. really nice guy. i can tell that he is trying very hard, but to no avail. people seem to care too much about themselves and constantly ignore the rest. well its probably their nature, and i cannot do much about it. although i feel that i haven't really done my best, but there is definitely much more that i am able to do, and i know i haven't done so, in my academics, social life, and even in non-academic stuff. well, i keep hearing this from ms sim, "have you done your best?". i know that i havent really done my best, but its really this constant mental block that prevents me from going all out, when i know that i can do so. my mind goes blank very often, resulting me in not being able to think at all.
i would say that this year has been a rather eventful one. come to think of it, at the start of the year, i was pretty slack, as usual. but as june approached, this sudden mindset came to me - we are going to be year5s in less than 6 months. now its 3 months. running for council exco, and now in the council exco. in fact, i'm wasnt really sure if i am fit to be an exco member. anyway after being a facilitator in the selection camp. i realised that i have much more responsibilities that i have in hand now, there's no way i can start slacking anymore. there are going to be a bunch of new councillors, whom i really think are awesome people, especially the year2s. i know that i am pretty held back and rather shy, i dont really dare to talk to them face to face. but yeah, gotta get rid of this, and start interacting more with them. after all, we are seniors already, and we should start setting a good example for them. the previous exco has really set a good example for us, and its now our turn to uplift that. i guess i would need to have more courage, to get things started and going. no doubt, i would definitely want my class to be like what council is. in this 2 years, especially this year, i seem to have spent more time with the councilors as compared to my class. but yeah, just got to accept it that not everything is perfect, and i got to accept whatever that comes my way.
the me in year 1 and 2, is completely different from the me in year 3 and year 4. from having a bunch of friends and a really bonded class, to a completely different environment. i really wondered how i managed to survive 2 years. come to think of it, how many close friends have i made in this school? and how many friends are there, whom i can really share my problems with? having being in this school for 4 years already, i think i have really failed as a student. i seem to see everyone having a close friend or at least a bunch of people that they can hangout with, but most of the time, i tend to be alone. it might be the differences that we share, the different interest, and the different characters. most of my friends in the other schools might already be graduating from their secondary school, and they friends they made in 4 years, are really treasured greatly by them. although yes i do have friends, but i haven really made any close friends/really good friends. and, yes, i really do appreciate those who always try to talk to me, and help to brighten up my day.
anyway, the exams are coming in 2 days. time to really work hard, and do my best. good luck everyone and all the best :D
my stress level is really reaching all time high, had really bad headaches for 3 days already.getting back all my tests, and having tests in the new school term. its really killing me. especially this week is the start of council exco selection. i really hope that whatever i do would really work out well, i really hope to be able to do something back for council.
sc'10 has really done much for me, teaching me many things, and changing me from someone who does not really care much, to someone that really wants to take the initiative to do stuff. i really felt that i have changed a lot, and matured a lot ever since. I've tried my best, and gave my all. Although i could really do much better, but that was in the past. always look forward to a better tomorrow=D
well. from last thursday, attended the Asian Youth Leaders Conference(AYLC) at river valley high school. (12th August to 17th August 2010)
My group... I4 <3
well. shall post my experiences when im much more free.
but. i really enjoyed every single moment there.
much thanks to everyone. miss all of you :D
FAVOURITE SONGGGGG!
i started liking hokkien songs, its really nice :D especially 伍佰，and 五月天. apart from the stupid 我问天. bad impression on hokkien songs.
well. maybe because i understand it. thats why i think its nice.
志明与春娇 - 五月天
树枝孤鸟 - 伍佰
never knew there were rock music in hokkien songs.. :D
五月天 - 心中無別人
伍佰 - 墓仔埔也敢去
which is pretty fast.
time flies, i guess this phrase does have a meaning after all.
in terms of academics, pretty much coping well.
cca still okay, however still lack the motivation, i don't know, but i feel like doing something for it.
hoping that the new coach would create the seriousness for every training session. as of now, we go for cca just to play badminton, and nothing else, occasionally not bothering about what the coach says. we have to start getting serious, in my opinion, for the cca to achieve greater results. although our performance at this year's b div competition was not bad, but actually much more could be done, in terms on training. in a math and science school, emphasis is not placed much on cca, however i feel that we should do the best we can, at the very least, be serious during every training session, or else it would be a waste of money everytime the coach comes. no wonder every single coach does not stay long after coaching nus high. seriously hoping that the new coach could make a difference in our cca.
as for council, it has been quite an enjoyable time these few months. when i was in year 2, i was really excited being in the psl board, it was extremely fun then. soon came the merger with council, and the feeling didn't quite exist then. in my opinion, last year's council was pretty crappy, besides from being really large(100+ people), there were many problems, both internally and externally. i actually felt embarrassed when people ask if i was in council or not, due to the fact that there was no sense of belonging in council then. i didn't want to wear the
collar pin too, i just could not feel that being in council was something to be proud of. however all of these went away in 2010. the council this year was and felt totally different from what i experienced the previous year. especially with the camp right at the start of the year. it really made me feel proud of the council for once, and proud of being in council. i would have to say that our current year 4 batch councilors are a pretty awesome bunch of people, and really bonded(some exceptions though). come to think of it, from being juniors, in 5 more months time, we would become the seniors already, and we would have to start heading council. today during the gm we were asked to express our interest for exco positions for the next year council. although im still hesitating at this moment whether if i should apply or not, but i feel that whoever becomes president is not important(although there must always be a leader in a group). What's most important is being able to work smoothly in a group, which i think our year 4 councilors have achieved it, but as for the year 3s, and the future new councilors, there would always be more opportunities.
this has been on my mind for a rather long time. really glad i could finally share my thoughts, as too much thoughts would overload my brain.
4 more months to go till the december holidays.
time to make good use of it.

didnt finish my zuo wen.
but paper 2 was rather okay.
tink can get above a b3.
no stress though.
time to enjoy the holidays:D
i think i should have done much better..
especially in chinese and econs.
well anyway today went to wcp for some cip car wash.
the whole of next week is simc.
and after that, is june holiday, which is pretty much burnt already thanks to smp, youth day, council camp.
i realised that this year, i haven't been to the movies yet. and missed out on many nice shows for this year. my class isnt really doing much of the "fun" stuff. maybe thats why this 2 years have been so dead.
looking forward to next year, hostel life and new class :D
just cause 2 is not.
just take a look at the video below and you will know why.
the only few papers which i was rather happy about was chinese, and biod.
the rest was really crap.
econs script check next.
stupid biod exam, the only thing needed to remember was infraclass metatheria. =.=
damn damn damn.
chem was rather easy, but i have no idea why i did not have enough time to finish it up.
>< whole question 5 gone. 12 marks fly away~
math exam rather okay.
cell bio also rather okay
physics was a idkwhattheshitlolcrap paper.
waiting for monday and tuesday for econs and thermod exam.
idk.. exam time and after exam feels the same.
time to do something about it..
left:
chem and bio diversity tmr.
econs on monday
thermod on tuesday.
after that 1 day of marking day, and then script checking.
looking forward!
pretty much one of the craziest physics teacher in town.
happy birthday to me :D
well.. first of all.
thanks to those to actually remembered.
and thanks to those who were spreading it,
and also thanks to those who heard about it and wished me, either through sms or fb or by word.

came home to watch amazing race and then left for piano lesson.

窗外飘着晚了一点开的花香
阳光看着太早出现的苍白月亮
不管缓慢还是匆忙 世界都一样
用安静的口吻说着无常
每当听见时钟滴答不停往前走
忽然发现熟悉街景又换了脸庞
爱被时间化上新妆 模糊了模样
想起你时有风轻轻扬
把你吹向更远的地方
那是无尽透明的思念
轻薄像空气渗透进我的心
每次呼吸也许都是叹息
却更像在呼唤你OH BABY
那是无尽透明的思念
清澈像河流让人情愿沉溺
也许我的爱也早已透明
所以你总想不起我爱你

also met up with jonathan and keatkee :D
well anyway gotta really stop sleeping in class.
been sleeping extremely late due to homework, and sleeping in class is no good at all.
better have better time management.
gonna burn midnight oil to build the volcano for demonstration day.
zombie mode tommrrow.
anyway...
ytd went to ion to do some chinese new year shopping.
quite amazed to be able to buy some new clothes to wear.
however, im just not able to change the colour of my clothes :D
school ends early on friday.
like at 12pm, wow so early.
and still have smp from 230 to about 5+.

it seems that im just not supposed to be enjoying life this year.
this year's chinese new year is apparently the same day as vday.
but just cannot spend it nicely this year.
well, off to build some volcanoes now.
hw stacking up quite a bit.
and quite a few projects to be done.
chinese new year is just next week.

totally mixed up feelings now.
1st round only. 4 wins 2 lose.
shd have won the hillgrove match that day.
but anyway never mind.
back to school work now.
have loads of stuff to do.
and got to cope up with school work.
math rather tough, physics is confusing and bio is the worst of them all.
