Clean the room I must!

Study table... never tidy coz of sch!

Bookshelf... still very messy
Bu zhi bu jue gonna CNY liao... CANT WAIT!!! Of course to ying jie this special occasion must do spring cleaning, however... only my room, not the whole house (yet). I think only my room looks more pleasant, not the living room nor dining room, its like a boarding house for bunch of youngsters... hardly any adults are present. Woke up super late... 12pm lol! Still in pyjamas, makan nasi lemak bro bought, supposed to b breakfast, anyway eat then start work!
Start off with tidying things up... drawers, study table, book shelf and all 4 corners. Study table... tried to 'tidy' it but in the end like... still the same? just that books and some items look neater. Rearrange the bookshelf, remove some crap then tidy the bottom segment which is full of old stuff: bbss year books, 30cm thick of sec sch test pprs and some books+guides which i find useful and wanna keep em ther. Not much repositioning of comics, jus move some here n ther, anticipate some new bks to come in this Sat.

Cleaning the drawers took most of the time. Coz was taking everything out then saw lots of stuffs thats reminising. Some interesting things that i wanna mention so that I wont forget them in the future:
1. Thick stacks of Hongbao since like 2004?
2. Some hand written letters from frens and couzes... Its so hard to find em todae with email.
3. Bag of small gifts since pri sch. Starred at those that the GMIS people gave me... Hao huai nian... Catherine, Stephanie, Tony, Kevin and this dumb Laos girl... LOL
4. All the badges, collar pins and anything thats pinnable. Missed my prefect badge so much, still quite shiny!
5. class/grp photos, mostly quite recent, E3, 01 grp16, J1... crap... i must dig out those from GMIS and SQPS de!
Sometimes duno y the hell I still keep all these crap... Mayb coz huai jiu. Dun wanna throw em away coz they DO bring back memories, n i think i spent quite some time jus sitting on the floor thinking back on the 'old days'. Probly ten years later, it'll really b old days... coz got many more bunch of interesting peeps whos worthy 2 b in my memories.
After cleaning, do some sch work then watch tv. Went to pick dad n mum from airport (n had dinner at mac ther wif bro)... They're finally back, after suffering in Indo due to the flood; still looking fine, got lots of food from Indo... think they're for CNY. Then another thing made me recall my days in GMIS... mum found my GMIS student card in Indo house n passed it to me. wah~~~ i really miss those peeps, wonder if they still rmb me. I rmb Tony told me 2008 is their last year, so guess even if I see em on the streets oso will not recognize... felt wasted. Even when every1 is like 10+ years old... we had so much fun together, we're all from diff countries, thats wad makes it so special. Then we learnt so many language... from English, then Bahasa, French, mandarin and tagalogue(?) and hindi. Aiyah... so much more! One day... I wanna dig out all GMIS related stuff and make a log.

Class CIP @ taman jurong CC

Auntie very ON lei!

Kawaii little girl, she dao me!

Come eat

Guys who Dao

Feeling very happy and high today! 2nd Major class CIP in JC, in fact the most enjoyable so far. 15 of the class people including me went to Taman Jurong CC there to help out in a CNY celebration with senior citizens in the constituency. Pioneers asign to distribute some goods, serve food and alos escort the senior citizens who need help in carrying heavy stuffs back home. Also got some pri sch kids and also J1 students from JJ there helping us, majority of em doin ushering.

Day started very very early, had to wake up like 5am... go bustop, wait like 20mins no bus -.-... So early... coz meeting at mac at 6.15 for breakfast, suppose to meet at lakeside at 7.25am. Makan with a bunch of people, including an unexpected guest. After makan, rush to lakeside wer Usha waiting liao, with her red sedan 'direct' us (on the bus) till we reach the CC. Started out moving some dry food, of course i didnt do, not slack, is coz got duty to take pics (actually is la :P)
Fun starts after moving, pioneers were playing around b4 the minister and the senior citizens came. Taking pics, funny poses, crapping... Then later, suddenly all very busy. Some of us (not me) had to escort the oldies back carrying their heavy stuff. I was busy taking pics, also manage to teach Pangpang n Tangwah smth abt photography so that can swap with them every now a then... Always taking very sian, have to do some physical labour too... Then hor, talking to the oldies also very fun, they are socialble and understanding.

When the event gonna end, more pic taking... then we get to take a grp photo with the minister of edu and finance! Mr Tharman... didnt realise he that TALL , he also very friendly! After he left, continue snapping... haha! Then got these little girl, the daugther of a volunteer, so kawaii la! Feel like pinching her cheeks, she sat quietly on the table with the milk bottle, then just let us pose with her...haha, so cooperative! Unlike some adults, see camera then siam away, hate them, make photographers job difficult!

After everything, all zhao back, actually plan to go library to study, then some psed. In the end left me, Ruien, Aizen and Pee... went to JE library which is so crowded, then went home lo. So freaking tired wen reach home, then bro still like kachau me go mop floor ... Abit irritated, coz i've got tons of hw/test preparation to rush and hes like ordering me to go do other stuff! Moreover, hes so damn free lo, can play games, then he do lo... damn pissed off by him la! At that moment I wanted to sms mum to ask if I could live somewer alone till my A levels finish. Somehow this house does not provide a study environment... Zengjie everyday watch Tv... means living room out, then at room so hot, i wan open door, bro will blast his music. Then once in a while, they start to nag... then quarrel for some retarded reasons. Wth la... then complain say i nv do housework, ya... nv do budden bro make the duty roster like super unfair la. Mum told him this year i freaking busy liao, he still arrange the duty till sibei BALANCED, like every1 in the household do the same amnt of work without considering whos the MOST free de lo.

Kuku... now still rushing hw... and preparing for test, hope that chem test not on mon n tues, coz its 'freaking no time sibei busy' days. Anyway, hope ming tian hui geng hao!

Its my class afterall

Bunch of kids having fun!

Bring it on!
Yay! Another week past! Strange that i wished time passed fast, which means A levels can come soon... I m suffering dude! Its like over absorbing of knowledge for few more months.

The week is as usual, nothing special, but i think i realised something... 07S22 is a fun class, filled with people who are still at their mind state of a 10-year old but hiding it. This is something to note as I think its very very compatible to my character! I love being peter pan! Probly afraid of accepting what the future's gonna give. And also because, i have lots of regrets as a child and teenager; haven enjoyed enough during pri and sec sch time.

Anyway, on thursday and friday, some class people stayed back, pee, shir, aiwei, shuqing, jin, leesiah, drew and Pangpang. Very fun coz we're doin decos, so paiseh I didnt contribute much. Pee was the serious 1, like doin everything while the rest of us playing, he looks stressed too. Shir, Aiwei and Shuqing do all the art work, while playing of course! Had lots of fun doin the rubbish painting, reminising days as a kid. Pang pang and I were also talking abt lots of stuff, then also join the fun on thurs. On fri, its jin who stayed back to help, others got CCA, i left early for China trip meeting. Speaking of that... lol, our rehearsal always fail de, either no prepare or smth go wrong; then nex week trial present liao... DOOMED.

Have to sincerely thank the people who stayed back to do class deco! Esp Pee for all the misc stuffs and Shir for the painting. ZOMG la... she can freaking paint so well, ask me do, confirm gone liao. Award her with a pic on the blog, haha!

Today woke up late... shyt, wasted studying time, my plans all screwed. Only use the day to revise physics and very little chem. Plan to go cut hair but reach there need to wait so decided to cut next time. Evening got bball... some time wasted again but i said 'yes' wen rome asked me ytd coz dun wanna dissapoint him and the others, weds n fri alwaes got cca then psed them... felt bad.

Over the weekends, i presume gonna b damn busy, need to study for test then sunday the CIP will take up most of my studying time too. Well... CIP is also important, its another learning opportunity.

Kick off 2008

Been quite a tiring week as usual, mondays and tuesdays totally suk, coz i'm fully packed for the whole day. Wednesday onwards then can feel abit slack. But i can roughly feel how my comin days in 2008's gonna be like. Staying back, lesson structure, pretty much gd and bad.

Mon and Tues were tutorials and more tutorials, till 4pm. All lessons were quite boring except for chem? Duno why, jus prefer it more than the others coz it is wen I actually learned something. GP suk, planning wad to do for each 90mins periods. Tues stayed back till very late coz Yingwen wants to meet up to discuss abt the presentation. Skipped piano too, coz lots of hw due the next day and i haven done any! Hope mum doesnt know about it coz I dun wanna argue with her; she wont understand my situation.

Wednesday start to relax abit liao... even though got no CCA, stayed back for MC exco meeting, a short 1 to update recent stuffs. Then duno why later stayed back till 6pm, with Ruien, Sijin and Mel. Mugging time till 6... actually kept talking and eating stuffs from the cafe. Thurs... slack day again, end at 1pm. Afternoon went to Queensway to check out class T. Really appreciate Shir and Sam for settling this project, MsNg for turning up to giv suggestions and also Shuqing and Ruiping for accompanying (not bad, giv me face!)

Friday, abit more comfortable coz nearing weekends. Went for studio shooting during the evening. Rather cool, coz nv done it b4 and heard its a hard chance that comes by. Fun part actaully is at the arcade, some of us went arcade at Safra to play, didnt know Parapara was so cool! Straight from ther, bro picked me up and we're off to Msia.

If the comin weeks are like this, I think i can still cope, hopes' nothing more than this. I tink i oso can manage my time better coz been really concern to plan my activities well according to priorities. Well, this is the feel of year2008, year of my A's, Have to tahan abit more!

P=F/A... Where P>10, F>3 and A=1

This week, wich is like the 2nd since school start is... i dunno, probably tight and pressurising. Stress is the main thing. Monday and tuesday was quite ok, PE was fun, 2.4 got abit crappy compared to last year; badminton was fun, esp with the class!

Wednesday onwards was rather bad... 1st of all, felt very very sick, coz tuesday nite rushing the BJT07 video for presentation the next day... It was also the day that the Exco was announced... rather surprised that i got the CM post... I did mention in the dec holidaes that i wanna be CM coz got enthu'ed up after the China trip. Budden, closing to xmas n new year, began to realise that its quite impossible and i know i'll b very busy. Morever, i know best about my own studies, so obvious that my basic concept sux. Well, on wed, i dunt know wad forced me to accept this post. Somehow, i think this is an opportunity staged out for me, to experience, to experiment and contribute all the plans i had since J1. Guessed because of that, i accepted this heavy responsibility. We had a short meeting after the announcement... then dismissal and off to CCA.

For the next 2 days, i've been feeling quite uneasy... very very uncomfortable, its like some mental torture... Probably coz i've been thinking too much and kinda paranoid. The members of Exco were decided through interviews by MsNg. And of course, the course of the interviews are carried out individually, we all do not know wad posts each of us wants. The main source for the uneasiness comes from the feeling that some people seemed unhappy about the finalised Exco members. Naturally, being chosen as the CM, i felt it most. In defence, i've been very careful of wad i'm doing for the next two days, staying perfect and cool. stress generated from pressure all around... friends, classmates, teachers and cca.

MC needs me to plan for camp and I've onli drafted out the programme, a long report awaits. Next from classmates, somehow i feel the need to do something that exceeds their expectation! Even though its like 2 days, i feel damn stressed, whether i'm doin the correct thing, job scope cleared? Then also, MsNg and the other teachers who knew me, I cant possibly dissapoint them. Then due to this busy and stressed schedule, i've even reject Rome for basketball today, felt damn bad but no choice. It turns out so bad that i've considered many times to quit the posts. Comparing is unavoidable, myself and the other candidates for CM. Are they more suitable for this post? Are there any misunderstandings?

Its no use getting this stressed up, be optimistic! This is wad I always tell myself when anything goes wrong. The problem only lies with myself, why m I so concerned with how people look and think of me. I think my actions will prove and convince them! I know i'm not the outstanding and inspiring speaker type but I know I've many great plans for the class, to bond them and to make it more enjoyable. Then on thursday, after a talk with MsNg after class gathering/lunch felt better, i'm more confident to work on...

Time is required for me to do everything i can. I've chosen this route... cramping myself with lots of responsibilities. I'll do it. This may be the rehearsal for my future life; any1 will face it 1 day and I'm glad i've an opportunity. I always critisized dad about his easy job, signing papers, talk on phone and just supervise... I guess i'm really really wrong. It's like the toughest job on earth, human resource management. Management is like controlling every aspect, u cant focus on only one and if the team goes wrong, u're screwed, hamburgered from top and bottom. Humans have emotions, thats the challanging part, u cant afford to offend them yet u need to gain their respect for u as a leader. Morever, I'm afraid peeps think that i'll slack as CM, not helping out n stuffs, just talk n command... but i guess i'll not stay off my track, i'll still do wad i must do, to supervise, plan and make sure things happening for various posts are running smothly.

Another life lesson for and I think its a important 1 to remember and reflect on. Let's hope 'A' increases so that I wont stand alone, and F decreases; i'll feel relaxed and enjoy my job!

Happy new Year!!! Welcoming Year 2008

New years' not really the occasion for me, i prefer Chinese new year and Christmas bcoz its wen family gathering takes place. Like to meet up with my couzes, they alwaes have something to talk about, then presence of Ten and Pu always brightens up 19Zi (probably the next 1's name 'La', then the 3 of em Tem-pu-ra!) Festive's also fun coz got many many food, budden, recently after the case in Indo, i tink i've to control my own meals, not too much food, eat slowly, less oil and NO chili. Geez... thats too restricting, but i guess for my dear stomach, better follow these rules.

Since its 2008, probly wanna set some goals and reminders... 08 of them since its year 08

1. A levels, nothing is more important than the A's, the examinations is like the ultimate test for students taking jc, in sg, who wanna go local U... main event, cant screw it. Here's the thing for discipline, i WILL organize my time real well, surrender DS to bro or dad, less afternoon naps and jus the usual rules for goin to bed. For academics, try to listen in lecture (said tis for a year, its tough), study at my own pace ( some hw can ignore if too busy), try to pass every test but no need to ace. Afterall, i tink A's is the most important, i'll jus try to pass all the CA's n class tests, no pt getting those well.

2. Help dad... dad's been really stressed up with work, worried abt his health. I hope i can do smth to help, he knows i'm a slacker n stuffs but i hope my A's results can become a joyful new year gift in 2009. I dun speak emolish but... dad, i promise to b good in sch, do well in studies n do u proud, Will always remember the word u gave me over the fone on 1st Jan 2008, "confidence" is wad i need.

3. Goin on trips is fun with food but of course at the cost of...gaining weight, damn, i'm now back to like 70, bad bad... I need to like rip off 3 to be stable, haven gain any height since last year too, bad bad... gotta do something, take care of stamina n strengh 1st bah. Plan: gym n joggin every evening if free.

4. $$$, spending like flowing water over the holidays, out with frens, chalet, shopping, have to save up for next holidae, plan to Hainan during summer and mayb trip with frens at year's end, cruise? Hope i can do smth abt the way i spend, control man! Next time i wanna buy something more than $5, i'll just account it somewer.

5. School, school, school, Uni? Eh, dun know dun realise (bu zhi bu jue) already j2 liao. Damn! Last year as a sch student! Sometime in 2010, gonna miss the many nerds who's wearing the same argly uniform as me, i'll b calling the teachers by their names even inside the sch, miss the teachers who nag n scold n get all cranky in the morning coz they forgot to shower. I will definately enjoy this last year in sch... with a class, with teachers you have to call teachers and with frens in PJC!

6. Almost forgot, something thats always taking up alot of my time... piano. tuition... need travel time, practice... ok, i dunt practice much, only on the day for class. So, gotta run my fingers more on the keyboard, romes' not up in a day? mus rmb something liddat, gotta practice and practice, somemore june got performance, shyt... duno y Doreen go sign me up, my repertoire onli got like few songs and they are all crappy... Therefore i know officially announced my new form of entertainment/leisure activity/game/pastime/hobby is piano! Its kinda fun if the song sound nice, but if like starting to learn new songs, then still adapting, sux...

7. Even though i m not sure if i get to live till next year, i tink... i must do some planning for the future. Every1's been asking abt wad course i wanna take in U... damn, so hard to decide, i'm not like bro, he's a mechanic freak n comp pro... I tink i wanna b a zoo keeper or ecologists, love animals so much! Anyway, need to decide on it, be at least 80% to decision. i'll leave the 2 years of NS for final decision.

8. Lastly, poor blogs rather gloomy, i know u've been working hard recording my logs, checking all my crap spellings... i promise to fill in more pics and like do some deco, very difficult coz been rather busy for the holidays and... the photos taken, needs to be shrunk, size too big.

That's all for the goals... Tml's a new term and day in sch, and the last year too... No harm working hard, all the way till i stressed out or anyting... Last means last, hard to get more chances... A Levels, bring it on!
