hmm.. two days more till the end of my self-proclaimed promo holidays. not really a holiday though, if i were to count going back to sch for openhouse preps every single day, but oh wells, nothing much to complain about if we want to make it a success i guess :) promos ended on thurs at 1100am in the hall. the teacher repeated and threathened to keep us in the hall for 1/2 hour as we burst into conversation at the moment he said "stop writing!". ahh. i hope my promos will be fine. bio was a sucker, maths and chem did a massacre on the entire student population in vj. hmm. i think i'm quite screwed this time - guess i could kiss byebye to the chance of 'S' papers in the near future. bahh. felt kinda regretful after promos but lo and behold, i was caught up in a whirlwind of activities (yeah, not whirlwind romance kays!) and *plonk* landed myself in a happy state now ;) . accomplished quite a lot of slacker stuff namely - watch corpse bride, learn mahjong then play mahjong from 2am till 6am in class chalet, have plenty of girly talks, listen to lifehouse over and over again, read a couple of lit books with phrases so chim i had to read with a dictionary beside me, watch dvds, play puzzlebubble, chuzzle and texttwist so much that msn games site is now my no. 1 MOST visited site. * takes a sharp intake of breath * yeah. so thts about how i spent my weekend. ( i managed to stay awake for 26 hours w/o sleep - only to fall flat on my face when i got back from class chalet though. :P)

haha.. oh wells, here's a piece of propaganda :)

yeps! catch the breeze people!!! VJC's the place to be on 15th Oct :D !! (with ice-cream, treehouses, performances, beach volleyball and cool bladers to top up the victorian spirit! come come!) ahha. sorry for the lousy stab at advertising, but still, all sec 4's, come on down :DD !!

and to all those taking O's, all the best ! the greatest motivation is from within and keep in mind that when everything seems to be against you, remember that the plane takes off against the wind, not with it. Jia you !

oh.. this is an awfully long post. my apologies, but fret not, you've reached the end :)! haha :D

+ was tht a sign? and even if it was, how do i read it?, how do i intepret it? is it just me ? or is it just another illusion? but it's okay, cos you're a beautiful disaster.

I would fall asleep

Only in hopes of dreaming

That everything would be like is was before

But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting

They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

After all this timeI never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know

A part of me died when I let you go

my stamina has seriously gone down the drain. i think i know why too. haven't done much these past weeks. my life revolved around four walls since the start of the mugging holidays. either at home ( where i eatsleepslackthenmug ) or at burger king with menny and justine ( where we once again, eattalkmugandeatagain).

bah. my mugging effort hasnt churned out any desirable result so far. i think it's because i spent half my time on distractions like blogging instead of mugging. NONONO!! - thts the irritating panic syndrome gnawing at the insides of my brain now. should be mugging. i repeat. SHOULD BE MUGGING. NOT BLOGGING. the call to start work is so intense, yet the desire to answer it is so weak. whether or not i answer it, now that's a different story :) anyway, i think i'm gonna have to try out the "reverse mentality" technique should this slacking mood continues. bah. " I LIKE TO MUG. MUGGING IS A GREAT PAST TIME. IT'S THE BEST HOBBY EVER CREATED ON EARTH. " - think it's working? i highly doubt so. uh huh.

on a lighter note though, finally, i managed to beat the crap out of the slug monster in me and got down to jog in the evening today. sheesh. i used to be able to jog 10 rounds during my napfa days. now i barely hit 5 rounds and i'm panting like i've just complete some antartica marathon. seriously, i think all those innocent looking slices of mooncakes and chocolate cubes are killing my body cells faster than they can replicate through mitosis. I"VE GOT TO GET BACK IN SHAPE! - uh not as though i had been in shape all these while though. >.<''' hurhur. bah who cares, i think i need those endorphins streaming through my bloodstream more than ever now. its the linchpin to my survival after a day of hitting the books. ugh. the funny thing is, i was singing the school cheers in my head while jogging. kinda uplifting and as uncanny as it sounds, it kinda provided me with a fresh burst of sheer motivation to keep on running. guess i'm becoming more victorian now. maybe one day i'll join the likes of my vj friends who run to de-stress. haha. till then i'm still putting up a valiant fight against the slug monster in me. sometimes i win, sometimes IT wins. oh well, its still a worthwhile effort i suppose.

yay-ness! i'm going to sch to do banner painting tml :) !! least i wont have to be trapped by the same four walls again- i need to get out of the house!! where i can paint under the bright blue sky and hopefully get a nice tan :)

i like posting a long entry once in a while. makes me feel so excited over the prospect of blogger after mia-ing from it for eons. Gavin degraw - Follow Through, is running circles in my head. :) sweetness. till then, take care everyone! and for the threebilliononemillionsixthhundredthousand time, Happy MUGGING. :D

+ this is the start of something new.. don't you agree?

First things first.

Mid years are OVER!

FREEDOM- however short-lived it is, before doom, is still sweet. very sweet.

alrighty! here i go again.. updatin this rather inactive and unreactive blog of mine (haha it's ironic that ping's blog has the word "unreactive" in it when it is actually well maintained and updated as frequently as possible.. tee hee =P !) okies... my dreaded mid years are over and i think i'm going to fail or just pass most of my subs this time round...i might predict my grades to be something like "UUUU" U for ungraded which equals a fail or at best maybe a double C and a double D....duh. Worst of all, it makes up to 20 % of my overalls !!! now i regret not hitting the books a week earlier but as cliche as it sounds, it's TOO LATE. bah. Totally screwed GP this time round.. my application question went down the drain... 4 lines for 8 marks- fat hope.
As ridiculous as it sounds, i was smiling all the while i was doing my maths paper despite knowing i was going to fail .. my friend remarked after the paper that he wanted to return to VS where there were 7 storeys - he reasoned that his chances of dying if he jumped were higher as VJ only had 4 storeys. -.-''' haha anyway, lets just keep the faith - what's done cannot be undone anyway. so lets hope for the other form of salvation - lenient marking from teachers to at least scrap through with a pass ...which is, very sad to say, rather impossible.

last resort. cry your hearts out when u receive ur results.

bah//.

gd luck to all having poly term tests next week =D !! Keep persevering alright !!

hmmm.. Feels weird to be here writing again after my long absence from the blogging world. Loads to catch up on now that the holidays are here. Maybe to start off, i shall confess about my guilty-ness in failing to keep in touch with my friends after the march hols. I'm Sorry !!!!!! haven't really been able to put in much effort to know abt their well-being and whereabouts lately..been too preoccupied with my jc life after the hols - with council, lecture assessments, PW, match supports, match supports and more match supports. Hmm..glad to know that everyone's moving on fine in poly and jc... poly orientation sounds like a lot of fun yeah and i'm very happy that you guys are adapting well to life there !! Remember to take the chance to meet new people, friends and experience lifestyles new to ya !! be open ppl :) !! i bet it'll be very interesting and enriching for all of you! Yet to find a date to make a trip back to bnss to collect my cert...shall find a day to so and get all my buddies back for a get-together with the teachers soon.. ( P/s : ppl!! call me when ur going back okay =) haha !! )

ryte! on a lighter note, shall disclose more about my OBS camp that lasted throughout the week from the 6th till the 10th at pulau ubin !! Truly, I felt that it happened all too fast so much so that i find it difficult to find a starting point for me to exactly begin this so called journal. =) But try i shall and bear with me you shall alright ? haha here's an advanced thanks to all :) !! Hmm, OBS was a inter jc affair this time round - it was a mix of students from Yishun JC and Victoria JC and we were split into watches (aka groups) of 14 to 16 ppl and there were 8 Yjc-ians and 7 Vjc-ians in my group (jia hui, shermaine, ximin, jiaquan, yao wei, tiff, paul, raymond, yong feng, francis, clara, er jian, angela and qiu yi you guys totally rock my socks off ^-^ !!!!) our watch was Sui Sen, supposedly named after a defence minister or something like that but we rather call ourselves swensens ahaha =) and we had an amazing instructor by the name of Daniel who taught us much through his very own unique ways of doing things and by sharing his life principles that definitely got me thinking hard !!

Hmm...would be impossible to write out everything that happened in detail here so i'll just highlight certain stuff and activities that meant a lot to me in one way or another during the course of the camp. The first would definitely be the rock climbing experience - managed to reach the top - the very first for me and also the very first of the many boundaries i broke through during the camp. It was especially significant since i could only do 3 pathethic incline pull ups for NAPFA this year heheh >.< .....i suppose the act of it really got me into the right mentality for the rest of the camp and i'm really thankful for that :) !! The CX expedition was the main highlight of the 5 day camp - we kayak-ed for 7 hours, hiked through the jungle for 5 long hours, rowed boats for 8 hours and slept under the stars for 6 hours in three days. one word to sum the experience up - Priceless !!! wootz ! yep there's nothing i wouldnt give to do the entire thing all over again i guess =) ! just too much memories and lessons gained from it and hopefully i'll be able to cherish all of them in my very own way that i deem fit and best :) !! minus all the mosquito and sandfly bites that are so darn itchy !!!! - i'm scratching even as i'm typing this !! argh ... looks like i'm goona look diseased for some time..sigh...

just realised that after not blogging for such a long time, i've kinda lost my flair for it >.< haha ... now that aside, i wanna say a very very humungously big Thank YOU to everyone in Sui Sen including daniel for making these 5 days such a memorable one for me. You guys will neva fully comprehend the impact and the value that your presence had had on me and i doubt i myself fully understand it on my own too. nevertherless, to put it simply, OBS would never have been what it is without any of you and i thank god for bringing us together on this adventure that is sure to last me through my years ahead ! Thank You people and i wish all of you the very best for your journey ahead !!

" One cannot discover new grounds without first having the courage to lose sight of the shore. "

man, i really loved OBS and i'm really gonna miss it !!!

2 days.
48 hours.
mass dance.
cheering sessions.
VJC World Tour.
150 OGLS & Victorians.

and the one and only

VJ mass dance session at SUNTEC !

back from a very tiring yet satisfiying hectic week of planning and carrying out 02. am v happy to say tht 02 was successful on the whole despite of the slip ups we made in certain matters. the ad-hoc gave their best and the ogls gave their might. am super duper proud of the whole lot of them. only dissappointment was tht some the 1st and 2nd intakers weren't interested in the effort we put in. sorry if we were'nt gd enough for you all but we tried :) !!

am still high from mass dance session at SUNTEC yesterday night. can't describe in words what it did to me... i just noe how happy and proud i am to be a victorian now.

i guess its what you can call eternity encapsulated in tht single moment of pride we shared amongst all victorians at the fountain of wealth yesterday. the music, the dance, the bemused gawks from the tourist and the rj peeps and the love for Victoria as a Victorian. I'll never forget that.

ohh and to remy stones, congrats on the twotwotwo point twotwo :) !! you guys deserved every bit it !! * twotwotwo point twotwo - ours!! ours!!*

Thanks to everyone who made 02 a success with your effort, enthusiasm, laughter and support.. for now i know that I've got The VJ Spirit up in my head, deep in my heart and all over me.
