senior promenade 2008-

prom was friday at ritz-carlton. food wasn't exactly the best, programme i don't know because i wasn't paying attention, but the camwhoring and the time spent with friends made it all worthwhile-

surprises of the day-
1) xinhui spiked his hair.
2) xinhui doesn't wear green specs anymore.
3) jinhuey wore a rather pretty dress (no jinhuey you're really not fat please hahaa)
4) jinhuey did not trip and fall while wearing high heels.
5) SOMEONE actually gave mishh a bouquet of flowers hahahaa

surprises aside, i must really admit some people seriously look way prettier/better at prom, seriously-

post prom-
after much camwhoring after prom event ended, the group of us went to Harry's @ The Esplanade for a drink before going to peckk's house for stayover. the drinks were not bad and their names were explicitly funny.
at peckk's-
played silent heart attack which i was totally hopeless at and so i drank about a bottle of beer which somehow had no effect on me even though i have low alcohol tolerance (small one lahh) in total as forfeit.
played truth or dare which got really amusing/funny/interesting with all the stupid questions and dares we came out with.
played & talked until around 7 plus cos yuanxin just couldn't stop laughing hahaa. everyone went home after eating at subway, but honestly the stayover was seriously fun =) i'm looking forward to class chalet hahaa we shall have more rubbishy sessions like these late into the night =D

i haven't forgotten this blog-

i'm back i'm back!

i haven't forgotten this blog, i swear. just that so many things have been happening recently i haven't really got time to update. but here i am, back to update this dear blog of mine :)

a'levels-
and so a'levels were finally over on 18 November 2008. rest and play for us, finally. a'levels were generally fine except i felt that i didn't do particularly well for physics and economics.
grandma left us on the morning of 5 November 2008, 5.32am. the day before chemistry paper 3. wasn't an easy period of time for me, especially with grandma's death happening during a'levels period. spent much of my first week at the funeral then, not much studying done :(

after a'levels-
with examinations out of the way peckhwang, ivan and myself went to enroll ourselves for driving lessons, and three of us took the theory lessons + practice sessions + evaluation + going to take the test together. classmates for the win =) although we do have to constantly remind peckhwang there's lesson the next day lest she oversleeps and misses the session again (like on the first session of Basic Theory 1.01)

peckhwang, ivan, zhikai, yongqiang, zhihong and myself went to Jurong East Swimming Complex for class (group) outing too! was really really fun, much quality time spent =) although i did experience a phase of skin shedding after that due to sunburns hahaa. oh yeahh, sakae buffet was good too =D

Senior Promenade 2008 updates in the next post, keep a lookout-

Sunday 10 August 2008

vexed-

like what the hell is wrong with everyone-
can't everyone just stop being assholes and just go back like what it used to be like YEARS ago.

fine. that aside. i've been thinking alot recently, about tertiary education and the future and everything. well, after alot of thinking, i've come to realise the sad facts of life. as much as i really really really really really want to pursue a tertiary education in the states, the chances of myself actually going is quite small, since university education in the states cost (more than) a bomb. i'm not fussing over the costs and stuff, but look - what's the point of going if you're going to be a financial burden to your family here in singapore.

life's probably just like that. screw it all-

ramblings-

about 29 days since my last update, thought i shouldn't neglect my blog, so im back here updating, more consistently, hopefully-

went to watch the dark knight last friday, the joker's ability to strike fear in the audience's hearts is really impressive. i don't like the ending though, i've always preferred movies with nice endings.

there was this UK/US university application briefing yesterday, the lecture theatre was swamped with people. i don't know why but i really really wish to pursue my tertiary education overseas. its not about the prestige or something, i just feel the experience of being an undergraduate in another country is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. or rather, i was secretly hoping that i could just get to the US to pursue my studies. financial costs may be a factor i may have to think alot about though, i don't want to be a burden to my parents.

enough of this want-to-go-overseas-to-study ranting, i was just randomly browsing when i came across this quote. its not the first time i've seen it, but i really like it. perhaps an epitome of my thoughts-

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards,
for there you have been and there you will long to return.

-Leonardo da Vinci

prelims and a-level's coming, work hard ben-

post blocks-

block tests are finally over-

went with the class to watch You Don't Mess with the Zohan after physics paper today. it was seriously hilarious. oh, and we all know why its NC-16 already after watching the show hahaa.

anyway i've got two pictures taken in the last week of holidays during the study programme. someone took off the "for SSP students only" sign from the sliding door separating the two sections in the reading room and put it on the hot water dispenser outside the toilet. so it looks something like this-





anyway i was watching this music video of one of 罗志祥's song entitled "好朋友", in which 林依晨 starred as the female character in the plot. the cast and the plot was really nice on top of the fact that the music was not bad.

but these lines at the last scene of the song caught my attention.
i thought it was rather meaningful-
你宁愿做她一辈子的好朋友
还是勇敢的做一次她的男朋友?

block tests-

more than 2 weeks since i updated-

to start off,
ADEL AND BEN LOVES GERMANY TO THE MAX =)
ohkayy fine i think she loves lahm more than anything but that's not the point.
WE STILL LOVE GERMANY =D

ohkayy anyway its been 16 days since my last update! been rather busy because of block tests which make me have sleepless nights. been at school all of the last week of holidays for the study programme thing to mug for block tests, and i was a little satisfied that i did not waste alot of time thanks to the study programme.

anyway what's done so far-

  1. H1 General Papers 1 & 2
  2. H2 Economics Paper
  3. H2 Chemistry Paper 3
  4. H2 Physics Paper 3
  5. H2 Mathematics Paper

and what's left-

  1. H2 Chemistry Papers 1 & 2
  2. H2 Physics Papers 1 & 2

and that's it, end of pain but start of misery when i get back my results. i am totally unhappy with myself over mathematics. it's like i spent so much time on mathematics over every other subject with the hope of some small improvement but when it comes to block tests i couldn't even do the first question in the mathematics paper. am i dumb or what-

ohkayy that aside, i still maintain the view that 林依晨 is totally the cutest. hahaa i know YOU are laughing but it works the same way as you liking the not-very-tall-player-you-think-is-cute ohkayy lols.

ohkayy enough of updating, i shall be back after block tests end on tuesday-

Friday 13 June 2008

friendly match-

bowling friendly match with SRJC bowling team today-

j2's swan song. our last one representing the school (and bowling team) in a competitive event. it meant so much to us. at least i hoped to round it all off with a decent performance to end my time at hcbowling on a high note.

and so we reached the alley before the friendly, with the idea that there would be practice throws before the friendly itself. but it turned out that we weren't going to have practice throws and there was a sudden frantic to open lanes to play 1 practice game before the friendly. i haven't bowled for more than 2 weeks - and it shows. my practice game i only closed one frame and scored some obscenely low score that's less than a hundred.

but anyway the friendly started and team 2 (yinghao, jansen, adriel and myself) really owned today. first two games we were practically beer-ing each other many many times (i.e. 3 people strikes and one person doesn't, if you don't understand) and the second game we had like team pinfall of 698, we were aiming for 700 but adriel missed his last spare hahaa.

but anyway all three games ended and we were quite happy with our performance, actually rather certain that our team would win. and so adriel got individual first, jansen individual third, yinghao individual eighth. top seven get to play masters so adriel and jansen played, adriel won first for masters, noreen won first for girls' masters.

and OHH. pictures-

LAST BUT NOT LEAST-

hwachong bowling batch 07/08 - thanks for making the past one and a half year the most wonderful time of my life. it's been a really great time and though it seems we've come to the end of the journey, we are still a team. for as long as we still remember each other as teammates - the journey never ends.

GWEN GOH, SHERMAINE, YANTIAN, YINGHAO, CHONGCHEN, DONALD, ADRIEL, JANSEN - I LOVE YOU GUYS.

bowling chalet-

ohkayy adel i'll update with a post now lest you say my blog is dusty hahaa-

and so i was at sentosa from monday to wednesday for bowling chalet. lots of fun, lots of quality time spent with the team, particularly the j2 team. i'm going to miss you guys alot alot after we stop training man. i mean seriously.

anyway, first day's highlights were generally our j2 dinner and the exco interview session. 煮炒 at koufu was nice seriously. at least it was quality j2 bonding time heh. oh anyway gwenma seriously looks like a ghost when she stands on top of the lamp on the beach. and at around midnight we conducted the exco interview on the small island off siloso beach, it was fun doing the interview in the dark, although the junior guys had a more awkward interview due to some special requests for them to take off their t-shirts hahaa. the interview lasted all the way till like 1am plus after which we went back to our room to play big2 till like 4am plus.

second morning we went to bury bottles which contained notes (and exco positions, if any) in the sand and made the juniors dig for them in the designated boundary. breakfast at delifrance was super expensive. houseball competition and pool session at SAFRA Mount Faber in the afternoon. i seriously can't bowl for nuts with houseball anymore hahaa. had pizza for dinner, all at the expense of the juniors. what's more - we were surprised with nice presents (mine hung on the tree on the island off siloso beach) and sweet notes and a big photo montage which looks like a bowling ball hitting pins when seen from far.

third day was plain normal, checkout and brunch at vivo but what's important is that seniors really really had a memorable chalet and were really touched by all the thought put into the notes and presents. thanks a billion, juniors. you guys have left us an everlasting fond memory of hcbowling. we love you guys.

anyway i went to school to study chem with yantian today. chemistry gets really dry when its read and attempting questions all day. after studying i suddenly had craving for douhua tangyuan and so i made yantian go eat too hahaa. pure satisfaction.

i can't seem to finish with revision, and i'm like quite scared of block test 2 now after my poor results from block test 1. i'm really really trying my best to dash all i can to revise as much as i can. but i'm really afraid.

wow this is my longest post ever-

Sunday 8 June 2008

milestone-

a thousand passengers carried since the inception of the counter-



not a very significant milestone, but its been a long recollection of my memories, particularly college memories.

Friday 6 June 2008

no matter-

yantian sent me this song a few days ago. its supposed to be some TVB-exclusive song used in several TVB serials. and i really like the lyrics-

"No Matter" - by Angel
Doesn't matter whom you are with
Doesn't matter where you are going
Don't you know I'm still waiting here for you
And pray for you

In the sunny days, sun will light your day
In the windy days, wind will lead your way
I have to say you're my treasured moments
Never gonna walk away

In the rainy days, rains will share my tears
In the stormy days, storms will steal my pain
Just go your way and leave things all behind
Spread your wings and fly away

I'm pretending you're mine
And wishing you'll be fine
The moments we share never die
You make a difference to my life
And let me realise
The feeling I've got
Deep inside

maths study camp-

been out for the past two days and today to do tutoring at a maths study camp for amk secondary students-

initially signed up to do only e-math tutoring. but after the e-math quiz on the first day it seems my tutee totally didn't need e-math tutoring, she got like full marks for that quiz hahaa. so my tutoring became a-math tutoring instead.

due to the very easy e-math and a-math questions given to the tutees on the first day, we decided to give the more challenging "Just One Page" questions that we did in high school to the tutees yesterday. then today after marking my tutee's a-math full practice paper and comparing with the other tutors' papers, i realised i was super miserly with giving my tutee marks (sorry! hahaa). some small mistakes here and there but it was not bad =)

hahaa and my tutee wrote jokingly on the tutee reflection sheet that her tutor kept making her do logarithm questions. heh the extra logarithm questions were like quite fun please, i gave questions that involved alot of changing base and combining terms and the answers are always like simple terms such as '1', after cancelling out everything hahaa.

anyway i think the study camp was quite meaningful la. although i don't think i taught much to my tutee, but the experience was fun and enriching i guess. and my tutee and her gang kept laughing at me and yanming's conversation hahaa.

ohkayy we took two photos at the end of the study camp! or maybe more than two because my tutee said i was expressionless in the first one hahaa.


above: xinyi (my tutee) and i, before the prize presentation i think.


above: my tutee and her gang, two other tutors - the one in brown (first row) and the one in darker blue (second row) - and myself. i was like so busy laughing that i wasn't looking at the camera hahaa.

resolutions-

____ told me to write about the interestingly long conversation we had yesterday on msn hahaa so here i am writing it now. and and i used underscores to address because it looks cooler yahh-

so the conversation was about resolutions. particularly that kind of resolutions. and so i was insisting that such resolutions will never stick. like, you swear with all your heart that you're not going to be affected or involved in such issues, but like it or not you're still going to get affected. well at least my own resolutions never stick. hahaa. and one thing i mentioned last night kept running through my brain - some guys never know what they want. how true.

hahaa so the conversation was so random there so many other things but if i were to write them all i don't think i'll ever finish. but anyway i really think that twit adds a tinge of cuteness into language if used sparingly. yupps. sparingly is the word. i mean, when you look back and see the twit in your language last time, doesn't it make you feel more like a cute little kid hahaa.

ohkayy there's nothing much worth writing about already since i've stayed at home for the whole of monday and wednesday. totally boring. OHH but before i end this entry i just thought i'd want to disgust you again with some twit-

buaiz-

hahaa.

june holidays-

ohkay its been yet another seven days since my last post-

nothing much happened last week i guess. apart from a'division basketball boys and girls finals. the guys won like they were expected to. the girls won after a really really hard fight, having trailed for 3 quarters (trailing by 15 at the start of 4th quarter), then picked themselves up and took the trophy back from RJ, winning them by 3 points by the end of the 4th quarter. amazing comeback, i must say.

went for the PSC psychometric test held in school today. after like:

  1. 36 multiple-choice logic questions
  2. 33 multiple-choice math questions with sixteen options each
  3. 40 language and inference questions (with like 15 short passages to read)
    AND
  4. 175 personality and preference questions

i was like dead tired by the end of the whole test. what's scarier - the dunman high people seem to be able to finish the 175 questions in like - 20 minutes? even the athena fac comm girl sitting on my right finished SUPER fast hahaa. i was like one of the last few people who finished the test hahaa.

ohkayy that aside, i've been beta-testing Football Manager Live the past 2 days. its quite a neat game, i'm looking forward to its launch =)

and lasers and semiconductors are making much much more sense after mr low's 2.5 hours of physics last week, thanks alot alot hahaa-

dance nite 2008-

hello world-

haven't been blogging the past weekend so i'll just update now. dance nite was last friday and saturday anyway, and i went for the friday show. it was really quite good in my opinion, and we had fun playing spot-the-thick-ankle / spot-the-attention-seeking-red-shoes / spot-the-midget during dance nite itself. i must commend the bunch of us sitting all the way near the top of the centre block for having very good eyesight =)

zhikai, anni and i bought gay-coloured toy flowers for wilson and tackkian, not to mention a super big toy flower for caryn. nice idea huh =D

anyway here are the pictures taken after dance nite, enjoy.
click to enlarge-


above: group photo. gay coloured and giant toy flowers easily noticeable. what was ivan looking at-

injury-

ohkayy i injured my ankle once again-

as usual, a result of high backswing full force hitting my ankle with a 13-pound bowling ball. this time it's a little worse than past few times, because it swelled like almost immediately. but its ohkay i still can walk currently. physical injuries are nothing.

oh and i made weimin treat me to me to long john silver's skin-on potato chips since he was like one hour late. made us wait at long john in yishun while he was still had corporation road (that's like near lakeside or yuanching road if you don't know where it is).

i haven't been flying on my flight simulator and controlling virtual air traffic control for some time now. don't have much time now since i need to focus on school work, but the next time i have some time, i'm going to do some flying.

I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
I wish I could stop the world from turning
Keep things just the way they are
I wish I could shelter you from everything
Not pure and sweet and good
I know I can't
I know I can't
But I wish I could

- Chorus from Collin Raye's "I wish I could"

Tuesday 13 May 2008

back to blog-

its been 19 days since i last blogged, its time i updated my blog-

a'divs are over, i screwed it up. but it all does not matter anymore. i'm going to just forget it and look ahead =) im learning to let go and look to the future, although over some issues i may not be able to do it but i'll really try.

school has been fine these 2 weeks i guess, apart from the weekly monday dosage of 4 hours of physics. the last week has been the most fun one this term i guess, with like michh, caryn, elise and yongqiang's birthdays all in one week. zhikai and i did have fun with wrapping caryn and elise's presents though, im sure they had fun unwrapping too =D

and i'm going to bring my scout reactive for bowling training tomorrow to put new finger inserts (and widen the thumb hole). i've neglected my scout for a long time and since a'divs are over i think i should use it again.

and i've resolved to really make an effort to blog regularly-


to ____: hahaa what you said this morning was quite random yeahh but i hope nothing bad's happened. its really not that easy but jiayou ohkays =)

Thursday 24 April 2008

a'division championships-

a'division tenpin bowling championships this week-

screwed up my singles and doubles. that makes it 12 out of 18 games screwed already. i shall not brood over my bad performance, or rather, i hope i am able to stop brooding over it.

just talked to weimin on the phone. hahaa i can well imagine weimin in his cute hair(less)style lying in the bunk flirting with juniors on the phone. hahaa ohkayy just joking. don't kill me please weimin.

physics spa skill A tomorrow. i'll go sleep early i guess, i'll update again soon.

Sunday 6 April 2008

bowling-

14 days left to the start of bowling a'division championships-

and i'm bowling really badly at the moment. my confidence really waivered after the friendlies on friday. i'm trying really hard to not think so much, and i have only 14 days to do it.

anyway here's a really really big thank you to the team for all the encouragement and comfort and stuff you all have given me after the friendlies on friday, and uhh really sorry yeah people.



请告诉我怎么走到终点

Wednesday 26 March 2008

post block tests break-

today's bowling training was team selection for a'division championships next month. and i was happy with one of the games i bowled today. ohkayy la to the pros its not exactly really good, but im very happy with it already.

click to enlarge pictures-
here's how the score was like, my initials were BC (obviously), at the third row:

school championships, namely b'division championships, are ongoing during this period of time at orchid country club. school flags are hung like at the alley, you can feel the heat of the competition:


anyway (part of) our class went east coast park for cycling + food + bowling yesterday. was rather fun, though i did get a little bit sunburnt.

above: the group of us at east coast park, photo taken at bedok jetty-


above: us with our bicycles. note caryn and suwen's bikes are significantly shorter than the rest of ours hahaa-

Monday 24 March 2008

freedom-

WOOHOO PEOPLE BLOCKS ARE OVER-

and i'm not trying to niao the bio people, your blocks will be over tomorrow anyway. i sort of screwed up big time for physics paper 1 and some questions for paper 2, but well it can't be undone anyway. and i'm going to make the most of the upcoming 2-day-holiday =)

anyway WENNNNNNNN (hmm that's 8 n's right!) of course i know its the airport hehe. am i smart or what =D hahaa ohkayy la you forgot i studied german uhh girl :P
hahaa i'll fly a flightsim flight out of zurich next time and take some screenshots. i haven't touched my flightsim for some time already.

and there's class outing tomorrow! i hope people turn up though. its quite boring to turn up for a class outing usually with only a portion of the class. its time the class spent some time together i think, considering its really really soon before the end of the year comes. by then we'll not have many chances to meet.

hahaa the sudden surge of freedom has left me not knowing what to do now apart from blogging. ohkay i think i shall play some games, watch some teevee and play the piano for a while-


懂得让我微笑的人

Friday 21 March 2008

music-

changed background music for my blog. takes a little while to load-

flight log-

good friday! lunch with timothy-ers at subway. im starting to like subway cookies alot. i ordered the large meal just for the 3 cookies haha.

anyway i've decided to seriously and conscientiously keep a logbook for all my flight sim flights. sadly as my computer crashed a couple of months ago, all my past flight records and information are gone, and i am only able to trace back to my flights from 21 november 2007 and later.

this new flight log allows me to keep a rather detailed record of all my flights. i'm rather fond of it. i can even print the log out or create a pdf copy (using macromedia flashpaper).

i'll upload pics of our lunch later! if i can get it from corrine, that is-

last hurdle-

whees i'm back to write again. its quite amazing really, with the blink of an eye mathematics block test is over too. ohkay although i know i'll do super badly but i really really tried. i was totally tired during mathematics block test please, i tried to remember as much as i can until 2am, then attempted to sleep but ended up rolling left and right worrying about mathematics and thinking about random stuff. for almost an hour. you can probably imagine how much sleep i had considering i had to wake up at 6am.

its physics left, next monday. i swear i'll study for physics, just not today. today is for me to catch up on the sleep i've been missing since monday. anyway zhikai ivan yongqiang and i went swimming after mathematics block test today, i'm getting closer to knowing how to swim hehs =D thanks to the swimming pool uncle who stays at bukit batok =)

no school until monday, and no school next tuesday and wednesday either. fantastic.

ohkayy i'll get back to sleep-

Monday 17 March 2008

block tests-

hello again world-

i just realised i usually blog on days when im supposed to be doing something else. such as studying, for now.

well, its the block test week(s).
its general paper and h2 economics today, and i totally chose the wrong question and wrote the wrong stuff for my gp paper 1. and i didn't manage to do the last two parts of the economics paper which for some unknown reason holds a very big proportion of marks. ohkay it cannot be undone anyway so i shall forget it for the time being.

that aside, for some strange reason i have been playing the piano quite alot recently. alot's been going through my head, and i guess playing piano is a good way of just releasing everything. yups. funny how i don't usually touch the piano when i was still taking piano lessons, but keep playing it when i've stopped piano lessons altogether ehh.

ohkay i think i should go back to studying chemistry. and before you know it wednesday will be here and i'll have to take the dreaded h2 mathematics paper.

Friday 29 February 2008

29 february-

hello world-

i decided to post an entry since
1) i haven't done so since 31 january 2008
2) its 29 feb so if i don't post now it'll be 4 years later before the next 29 feb

things have been rather monotonous. school - home - cca - home. i haven't even flown alot on flight sim these few weeks. only a measly 1 hour 15 minute flight from melbourne to sydney in like 3 weeks plus.

and i haven't been performing well these two trainings, i.e. wednesday and today. it seems when i ask of myself to perform i just don't perform up to what i can. weimin says its all about the mind. yups. i'll try to improve my mental aspect.

and there's jts tomorrow! how exciting =) its nice to hang out with the class. pure fun. oh yeah, and weimin came during training today. yah lah weimin you're nice lah LOL. i sorta miss the times after trainings last year when the few of us talk crap over our meal. and how we used to (although we still do) bully weimin together with fuji.

ahh ohkay enough of all that ranting and rubbish. i'll update again when i can organise my thoughts better.


happy leap day-

听说爱情回来过-

this song really touched me-

歌曲:听说爱情回来过
歌手:林忆莲

在朋友那儿听说
知心的你曾回来过
想请他替我向你问候
只为了怕见了说不出口
你对以往的感触还多不多
曾让我心碎的你
我依然深爱着

在朋友那儿听说
知心的你曾找过我
我要他帮我对你隐瞒
只是怕见了面会更难过
我对以往的感触还那么多
曾给我幸福的你
我依然深爱着

有一种想见不敢见的伤痛
有一种爱还埋藏在我心中
我只能把你放在我的心中

这一种想见不能见的伤痛
让我对你的思念越来越浓
我却只能把你把你放在我心中

对你的声音你的影你的手
我发誓说我没有忘记过
而关于你选择了现在的他
我只能说我有些难过
我也真心真意的等过

Wednesday 30 January 2008

bowling-

school todayy was quite normal. gp tutorial in the morning was totally boring and torturous. doing last year's gp prelim's paper made me feel stupid. hahaa and now it's my turn to wait for angel(s)/mortal(s) to reply so i've got no letters to write todayy.

bowling training was not bad =) except for the fact that there were way too many people on too few lanes, which made everything damn slow. doesn't matter, bowling still rocks =) and i'm still trying my best to improve, hopefully i can make the school team this year and don't get cut. yupps.

team singapore happened to train at safra yishun today too. (they usually train at orchid country club) then after training just as remy ong was leaving jansen and i went up to ask to take a photo with him! hahaas. and he was really nice to agree to take a photo with us :) thanks!

ok here's the photo with remy ong :D click to enlarge!

extreme makeover-

had faculty cip today! extreme makeover - we had to whitewash + paint walls and doors/gates for the underprivileged at lengkok bahru. went from school to lengkok bahru by chartered bus. then my group had no units assigned initially so we were doing the delivery job, carrying all the metal tins and heavy buckets of paint and stuff to different units.

after like an hour of delivery job and another hour of breakfast we finally had a unit assigned to us, it was some block 59 #04-545 if i didn't recall wrongly. so we scraped and plastered the uneven wall and whitewashed it with a layer of water-based paint. when we finished half of the living room the girls had like quite a bit of difficulty starting on the 2nd half because when we moved the furniture to another side of the room all the cockroaches just came out, and the girls i.e. elise and jiemin seemed like they had a mortal fear for cockroaches.

ok then darius had a trauma. i'll skip that part. then after the opening ceremony sort of thing we went back to paint the gate and wooden door with enamel paint. (p.s. is this pronounced like 'caramel' or is it pronounced as 'e-neh-mer'?) and then after it was done we finally packed up for the day. fac cip was fun i guess, quite meaningful and you get to spend time with your class.

then we went tiong bahru plaza for dinner! our 6p junior class just ran away for dinner without us lah. we wanted a senior-junior class dinner initially, but doesn't matter our class went tiong bahru anyway. had LOADS of laugh over dinner at kfc recalling events that happened back in high school. time really flies eh.

ok i guess its more or less all of what i've done for the whole day, and im really really sleepy now so i think i'll go get some sleep-

nostalgia-

haven't been blogging the previous 2 weeks again. just too many things to do, overdue holiday homework, new homework and stuff. still barely coping but im starting to fear and worry about my academic performance. i really really want to throw away the lackadaisical old me.

i shall try to write as and when i am free. i realise this is a really good avenue to just pour out anything and everything within me. its been about 2 weeks since we met our junior classes. nothing much to say about the junior classes la. nothing positive/negative in particular, some juniors are quite nice, and yeahh my angels and mortals are nice people too. ain't that great :) i seriously hope my mortal & angel who took olevels did well for their olevels though. yupps.

seeing the juniors this year just makes me think and recall alot about last year, the time we spent together as a class, the interaction with the senior class, etc. orientation, dramafeste and everything! the anxiety of waiting for news of classmates' olevels results, the super sian feeling of having less than half the class left after results were released. i guessed it just bonds the class together to some extent. jiannan, mishh and myself just kept digging out class photos from last year and this year just to rekindle the memories. hahaa. go facebook 67 group to see all the photos!

hahaa all these thinking just makes me wonder how many one will actually get to meet all the other classmates after our alevels, after everybody go their separate ways, to ns or university, on scholarship or just purely fms (father-mother scholarship hahaa). we should do something unforgettable lah, like an overseas class trip, i think it'll be really memorable =) *hint hint peckk and caryn ain't this a good idea hahaa.*

and yeahh that's about all i have to write for now. im going to try my best to just push myself a wee bit more. study or bowling wise. yeahh. and regain my confidence (uncle francis says i have no confidence in myself when i bowl hahaa.)

anyways! enjoy the following few specially selected photos of s67 :)

school and stuff-

3 days have passed since the school year started. feels weird to be starting all the lessons and stuff on the first day. i am going to try to do my homework this year. yes this year. however detemined that might sound, i don't feel like doing last year's holiday homework though. never mind, i'll try my best.

things in sinvacc have also changed since the start of this year. i've taken over as atm. javier's been appointed my datm and joel my ec. things may be challenging in the coming year but we've started well. that apart, haven't been flying on flight sim for 4 days now. thinking of a next destination. any ideas?

juniors are coming in soon enough. hopefully we'll have a nice junior class.



there's just so much to do and so little time-
