inspire on;
i like this quote. i shouldnt moan about school everyday because it's not going to change anything. i'll look at the school at a different light. i should aim to eradicate "sianness" and have something to look forward to everyday.
to remain highly optimistic about things is one way to survive school life. and i shall learn to enjoy school (:
so well today had this journalism talk and it's kind of cool it makes me wonder what i really want to do when i enter the society to work. honestly i must say i dont have a flair for writing but the process of gathering information and processing it seems to be relatively challenging! which is such an experience.
lol i got a feeling that the presenter was kind of disappointed by our lack of enthusiasm and response but i reckon it's the rv culture and that the room's filled with guai kias and smart people. it's really quiet and people think in the politically correct way with not much sense of humour except for maybe meilin who's always thinking in the sick way but anyway, other than that the class horribly serious.
but the presenter was good and engaging i like the way he talks it's like impromptu kind but he could express his ideas so freely. and maybe he was a bicul student before his languages are good!
anyway today i said something really loud and kinda stupid in class but i really really really didnt mean it i'm really sorry if i insulted anybody D: i'm feeling guilty for the rest of the day. :X

happiness in school?
entrepreneur club group 1 should sell these candies for valentines ^^ so sweet dont you think? especially the smiley face one i 'll buy a whole packet of them and give to my friends! though i've never given any valentine gift; i mean i dont celebrate this kind of thing.
okay i must agree with sh and tian that it's been a reallyy fast week! though of course, everyday go school the face is sian sian one.
it's all like that, if not like this, of course boring lah. i'm still boozy woozy during lecture and tutorials are well, okay lah. i cant really get all the info into my brain, boo.
then guitar on monday and wednesday, sometimes going to cca seem cool and fun you know, it's really a form of de-stress sometimes. as compared to netball yeah. going for trainings were stressful and everytime sure will get scolded like shit no matter what you do. but i still miss the times. i miss the scoldings. it makes one stronger.
okay then thursays are awesome days because we are released early (due to no pw lessons yet ;D) though we stayed to do homework like muggers do. but i dont think we are muggers. 5B is just sibei kiasu people. sometimes some people's kiasuness is killing me. and it's imbuing into us. though i absolutely dont want to be kiasu.
friday was kind of fun; it reminds me of secondary times, when every friday is a go-home-late-but-happy day! used to be TGIF after trainings and just laze around in the netball courts or in the real grass of the field. then get chased out by the school admin guy.
but anyway on friday the juniors had a match and they won by around 20 points but it certainly doesnt seem so when they played. D: i think cause we had a tall holding shooter thats why can get shots in. rvnb always have a tall holding shooter. always. all these years. our triumph card.
eh had entre club orientation and i really must thank those seniors! i mean, guitar didnt even have an orientation and i still dont know the year 6 names yet x.x so had amazing race and i was so glad wanxi was in my group haha we had so much fun and lol we keep laughing at some really stupid jokes and comments here and there. and this guy called bryce or ryce or rice LOL is a bit like wanxi; very logical but in a slow manner haha it was quite funny hearing him talk about some stuff. and sheng yi has a interesting name (thats why he joined entre) but so very shy never talk like that one leh. and weiliang is mostly talking about something that is either funny/ stupid.
oh and our group leader ya wen is the best, i think she like leak alot of clues for us so nice of her right ^^
okay yeap that's all oh no i feel like a lazybum here using the computer D:

i miss you, table.
here's a post dedicated to all the classroom tables. ♥
i miss doodling on you with pencil and then erasing them away.
i miss putting my whole head on you in between lessons.
i miss using the handphone (sometimes only!) while you block the teacher's view.
i miss hiding a good book and secretly reading it when lessons get too draggy.
i miss dozing off on you when lessons are simply boring.
i miss staring at the clock and waiting for time to pass while propping my elbows on you.
i miss sticking my knee under the table just to have another sitting position.
i miss sitting on you.
i miss chionging homework on you.
i miss leaving my pencil case and water bottle on you while i go for breaks.
i miss leaving files under you.
i miss how you "belonged" to me!
there. i will learn how to appreciate a classroom table.

endlessly,
okies updatees haha havent been posting for quite a bit! i'll try to remember what i did this week lol!
tuesday:
hiong pe. that's the only memorable thing. i getting stitch easily. whyyy.
wenesday:
dialogue with the cabinet council candidates; it was prettyy interesting to listen to the questions and the unsatisfactory answers given. then it was loong cca till seven and went home with tiantian. i know mr ong's kinda disappointed in us. D: but i really cant play with the whole room in silence. it freaks me out.
friday:
it's a half day! we could have gone home at 10.30 but oh well we had another interview session with the candidates. i was so hungry i could have eaten the auditorium chair. then farewell to juntang, what a lucky chap to go to vjc. he better count his blessings before they are all used up. and his mother is chio okay, from far looks more like his sister than his mother. then went out to eat and byebye go home sleep and play and relax and enjoy woohoooo! ^^
saturday:
facelift cip; the shirt's very nice haha ^^ suay lah fall on same day as learning symposium if not we could have painted D: oh and sorry lah, but the house we got assigned too was fairly... in a bad shape. r and i was scrubbing the stove area and it was oily greasy and brown. woah. satisfaction reaches a high rate after we got that muck all cleaned off. i should start appreciating the cleaniness of my house though it isnt very clean either HAHA. my dad commented i should have some volunteers up to help clean house too LOL :D
then rv carnival/anniversary/learning symposium wasnt too bad, just that all those walking and waiting and standing kills people. i think those people who only get the stamps are on the losing end, somehow some of the presentations are really interesting and cool. and the carnival really brings the atmosphere up!
so well yeah that's about it. i hope to have something intersting and to look forward every week so that school's arent that bad (:

the whole wide world is using facebook. it is one of the top social networks. and it's addictive.
so everyday i go facebook and look at notifications, news feed, profiles etc., but today i was wondering what the hell am i doing looking at things that aren't even related to me. adding friends that i've no idea who. wasting time on it when i could have used it to revised something else or slept more (this is a opportunity cost :/).
sure, there is something that is good about it though. it connects people. like primary school friends or even kindergarten ones. and updates. updates on things that i dont know what. and photos. pictures speak a thousand words.
but from now onwards i'll try to access less of facebook. and do more meaningful things with this time.
let's aim to be different.
on a side note, o'level results are out. female power rules with the top scorer coming from chij st. nicholas girls school for the third year! and higher chinese results of our school seems to be okay, though the paper was really tough. hurray the certificate completes my 11 years of studying chinese. (:

i love fridays.
okay i got some nice smiley face snacks here heehee cause i'm happy! (and maybe hungry too) and optimistic. it's been a week, and what i've done in this week (4 days actally -.- ) seems to be so much, so much, so much.
maybe it's the post school reopening sydrome. you get tired/sleepy easily, loses concentration, and get STRESSED.
yes stress. it's unbelievable. maybe stress makes you forget about time. it feels like months of school already. first week of school, and we have teachers telling us the ugly truth. a' levels. the official exams are a holy one and a half years time later but we have this a' levels ringing in our head every few hours. we've got so much adrenaline pumping in our body because of it that there might be an overdose.
so well yeah i'll be chionging the massive load of homework and also pouring over my giantic stack of year 3/4 notes. and maybe a little revision on this week. hello hectic weekend.
and hello a' levels.
and it's not friday anymore.

wednesdays, slack timetables
second day of school, felt like months of it. so turns out that 5B is going to turn out real all right, it's not exactly silent, it can be noisy, a small class means easier to bond and of course we have our bubbly girl meilin who's such a great entertainer!
not a mugger class hopefully. but our circumstances doesnt seem to allow the survival of non-muggers. our homework and to do list is practically as long as a snake (okay i dont know what to put here). so well today's pretty slack, though guitar's going at high speed and snails like me are as blur as sotongs. and i do admire mr ong's cheerfulness, though this's our first syf but he tells us to just play our hearts out there, and dont care a thing about the results.
i like that. cause i dont believe competitions exist for the sake of giving out results. i believe in experience. and if i do get to perform for syf, it's my greatest honour. a non musician like me with no musical talents is given an opportunity to perform with her lousy to the max skills.
so anyway. i got nothing else to say. except that i'm off to do my homework.
i need tuition seriously.

kiss goodbye to holidays
i'm trying to make going back school a fun thing haha.
so today i was taking the bus to the mrt station on my way to school, and i saw a flurry of activity at a particular bus stop. worried parents fussing over the crisp white uniform of their children, children seeming giggly while talking to their fellow peers or reserved ones standing at a corner. it then occured to me that they were secondary ones!
so four years ago i was once like that. getting prepared and ever so ready and excited about going to river valley. and i remember there was assembly on the first day of school and ms ek commented on our brand-new white colour of our uniforms. she said that they will soon turn into a yellowish white hue.
yet today i went to school with a heavy heart. it wasnt the fact that there is a new class. it was the academic burden that is already weighing on my shoulders. with all the horrors the seniors told us, and our seemingly slack timetable, it points out that we'll be doing loads of self studying. 也就是说要靠自己.
so well today turns out to be okay, we got nice teachers so far, yep so far. i reckon it takes much time to get used to the lectures and tutorials teaching format, and the very fact that there isnt a place that we really belong. like our dear 4A classroom. why didnt we treasure this cemented flooring, hot, smelly and packed with tables and chairs space?
shall cross my fingers and hope for the best, hoping to get accustomed to this jc life, hoping to have more self discipline, hoping that we shall cope with all this that we have chose to study.

supper
My supper today ^^
i'm always hungry. so well yesterday night (which was a couple of minutes ago) i rummaged the fridge and found food! so i threw together two slices of bread, farmland chicken patty, cheese and ketchup and tadaaaa! i got my sandwich toast! which i shared with my sister haha.
so we finished our halves i was asking my sister if she wanted more (cause i did), and she was hesitant but haha in the end we made another one and she said that sticking with me will make her grow fat.
and i reckon that's kind of true.
the sandwich toast is simply delightful.

TOFI
what you see may not be the truth.
for the whole past year (8 months to be more precise), i gained a whopping 6-7 kilos! that's almost 1 kilo per month on the average.
okay it's not that surprising actually, considering my serious lack of exercise and the excessive eating disorder of mine. if i dont gain weight, it's really time to ring and book an appointment with a doctor. my diet in the holidays had been: breakfast, lunch, tea break, dinner and supper each day. that's five meals a day! and they aren't light; i eat pretty much each meal. that's why my house is running out of food supplies so fast.
maybe i would have been jumping up for joy if i hadnt read that article from reader's digest -.-
the very fact that i'm eating like a pig and not looking fat makes me a TOFI -- thin outside fat inside. and that's bad, i think it means i got all the fat i get from the food clogged up in my arteries! or somewhere i dont know where! simply put it means: i'm darn unhealthy. which means i've got to exercise arghhh!
okay so! i'm heavy and unhealthy. that's bad. D:
but i like the fact that i put on so much weight heehee ^^
