Hmm... Interesting...

warning: emo post ahead

i like straightforward people.i for most of the time don't think i interpret people's words and actions correctly. wouldn't it be better if i could just know what the other party is thinking? then again, there would be no more privacy, no more challenges, no more fun of guessing and etc.
just that at times i can't help but feeling confused, keep on making far-fetched guesses and trap myself in this never-ending circular race.
i am kind of... unobservant, insensitive, and ignorant? occasionally come times for me to notice little details, but there aren't enough to make any conclusions. and arriving at the wrong conclusion would lead to catastrophic consequences.
which is why i still prefer straightforward people.



today miss weird-shiny said to me, "wish i could just abandon everything: school, scholarship, cip, cca... to just pursuit art".
i, too, would also like to leave everything behind to just do the one thing that i like.
however, miss, it is easy saying "i can sacrifice everything for ABC". the challenging part lies in keeping your life in balance and still getting what you want.
we will thus have to try really hard. we've got 18 more months to do what we need to. after that will be time for what we want.



i am an 18-year-old random optimistic j1 student (:

OMG

I received my phone bill.

Whose fault is it ):

NAPFA

I have, for yet another time, managed to pass NAPFA. Whatever you might say, for a person who prefers walking to running, sitting to walking, and sleeping to sitting, NAPFA is no easy task.

Sit-ups: D
Shuttle run: B
Pull-ups: A
Sit and reach: C
Standing board jump: A
2.4km: 14m23s B

My 2.4km surprisingly improved a lot (1min!). Sit-ups, as expected, didn't improve at all. The strange thing is, I got A during my sec 3 year, and it spiraled down all the way to D from my sec 4 year onwards. Strange.
Anyway, as long I pass, I don't care whether I get silver or gold =D And as long as the item that I most take pride in, namely standing board jump, is an A grade, I can happily rest assured.

This also means there'll be no more exercising until January 2009. Yay!

Lyrids '08

first half of the event at rp. i was somehow made the receptionist. my table was in the middle of nowhere, halfway between the one-stop centre and the forum where it was supposed to take place.
anyway, everything went fine. good thing very few people (i think) fell asleep during the movie that i chose! the game was fun, very fun, especially entertaining to the station masters. we just stood there enjoying ourselves, looking at the blindfolded participants colliding into one another when finding their way out of the maze :D to my surprise, the kids got first.

second half of the event at ecp (as usual). the preparation for treasure hunt was tiring ): but everything was okay after that (: with the kids clenching the first prize yet again.
then the night went on with clear sky, then cloudy sky, then clear sky... somewhere in between there would be taiti, trips to macs, chatting, some more taiti, etc. and i got scolded ): hmm nvm nvm (:

anyway, i really had a lot of fun (: and i bet a lot of people felt the same way (:

looking forward to lyrids '09




my sleeping debt is accumulating. how many weeks has it been that I can't sleep properly already? ugh...

of something that has been bugging me

there's this club that I've belonged to since I first came to njc
okay lah, I did try out art club, guzheng, science and tech
but the fact that it remained my one and only cca throughout the years says something, no?

came the first year with no major happenings
wonder why i was so blur back then
wasted one whole year not participating actively enough, not mugging
nothing
yup, i deeply regret it

came the second year with an outburst of activities
where i really want to highlight that competitions are vitally necessary
and a lot of other stuff happened
which really made an impact on me. a lot
enough to make me drop art to pursuit science

then came the exco election
which, until now, still makes me want to question certain people
but never mind
the decision was already made
by a number of questionable people
yes, i was not good enough
but the people who defeated me
yes i'm using the word defeat
are supposed to be better, more deserving, no?
one batch stepped down
the next batch stepped up
at some point in time i remember telling someone that something was dying
dead
how do you view us now?
as deadly inactive?

how very expected

makes me wonder
1. whether i'm in a position to say all these
2. whether i was in a position to do something to change the situation
3. whether i'm in a position to make a change now
4. what do those currently in the positions think reading this

frustrating huh

anyway
here comes another exco election
how ar?













You know what? You should just ignore everything written above. Because it doesn't concern you anyway. Actually it concerns me and just me alone. Full stop.

Untitled no.1

Today has been a tiring day as usual.
Tomorrow shall be another tiring day.
This weekend will be yet another hectic one.
Just like last week.
Just like the week before.
And even before. Which was worse. Because I had to go to Woodlands everyday and came back to the hostel at 22:30.
Moreover, I'm topping up my ez-link once every one and a half week. Which is twice as often as before.

Sian or not?

There's this mixture of excitement, fun, sian-ness, etc.
For once, I am very sure this is not my escapism

To-do-to-survive list

This first post in this newly renovated blog shall be a boring one. Just to let the world know I am alive. Or not so alive actually. Or somewhere near the realm of death.
Looking at this makes me realise the world is really going round at a dizzy speed. Strange enough, it's the compulsory GP and PW that are sickening. This very well represents the positive effects brought about when people are given a choice.

Functions tutorial (due Monday 7th)
Dynamics I tutorial
Dynamics II tutorial (week 4)
GP evaluation - "Pillow angel"
AstroChallenge selection test
Physical geography presentation - Tectonic hazards (week 4)
Physical geography CA (Friday 4th)
Human geography readings (from term 1)
GP weekly reflections
GP vocabulary handout
GP weekly research
Orion - Circular motion tutorial
Orion - Inertial frame + Simple harmonic motion
Chemistry SPA handout (due Monday 7th)
Physics SPA handout (week 4)
Chemistry Redox tutorial (week 4)
Lyrids star party
6th Apr Admilralty exhibition
Human geography CA (week 4)
Physics test - everything (week 4)
PW PI 1st draft (Tuesday 8th)
PW PI 2nd draft (Tuesday 15th)
PW PI finalised (Thursday 24th 1pm)
GP transposition exercise
Chemistry data booklet

Knowing that there'll be no PW for the next JC1 batch surely doesn't help.
