NJC Road Run 2005... Well, at least I found out that I could still run... I don't know, I seemed to be able to run faster and more consistently during the PE practice, and I could keep up with Khairi when I went on a trial run with me last Monday... But yesterday, I ended up lagging to the middle of the pack... I was walking/jogging with Linus, who developed stitches with me at the same time... Yup, Shahdan (aka National soccer U-18 player) got FIRST for the Year One Guys, then Shi En got THIRD for Year One Girls... Bragging rights of 05A01... Haha...

Anyway, just came back from Jericho Insights:inside meeting with Ben and Yurong... I was having lunch with Yurong before that, then we went for a recce for the AmazinGrace that we're planning... Yep, it's a direct borrowing from the FCBC one... Haha, don't sue us for copyright infringement, cos we'll include you in the credits...

Whoo! I'm back from school... Yar, well, duh... Anyway, today was the SD day for all the lessons that I had... GP class was super boring, I couldn't understand a single concept during Econs lecture... Sheesh, sometimes I wonder why I even bother to register into a JC for my first three months, when I could be happily slacking away... Never mind that, other than that, I had a class picnic at the canteen, and my civics tutor Mr Leong bought us this nice "Lana cake" (whatever that was... The cake's chocolate) and I had fun eating up all the Nutella-spreaded bread...

After school, me, Linus and Weng Yin went down to Queensway to get wristbands. The initial idea was to standardise a colour so that each of our classmates will have one of those "baller-id" thingy... But all the shops we checked there all went out of stock, so in the end only the three of us got a "3-in-a-pack-but-differrent-colours" wristbands. There was white, yellow and maroon. All three of us wanted the yellow one, and Linus refused point-blank to accept the maroon one... What to do? We did a unseen lucky-draw, and I ended up with the yellow one... Haha...

Yippee!! I went to crash AJC after school today with Jia Mein... Not bad actually, cos we were so afraid of getting caught by the auntie sitting down there in front of the gate, but she didn't even stop to notice us sneak in. Then we mingled around, saw quite a few of all my old friends, etc... Yup, I saw Alex too, and he had to "remind" me again that his birthday was tomorrow... Haha, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEX-O DUDE... Anyway, I had some bonding time with my old 4-5 classmates, stayed around long enough to see Alex get splat with cake by his class, before going home...

Thursday 20 January 2005

I was feeling sick last night... Headache and a slight cold, but I'm feeling better now. Late school days on Thursdays, so I only need to leave house in another hour's time.

I'm busied out by the Jericho Insights:Inside thingy... There's a lot of admin stuff to do, and worse, interim coordinating... There's like a million things going on at the same time, and I don't even know what I should focus on first.

Received some really meaningful emails that just made my life a lot more happy and cheerful... And worthwhile...

Hmm, I just viewed my class photos... There's some seriously weird ones about me... My class-mates locked me out of class yesterday, then I had to go hug our OGL Jun Yi before they let me in... And I'm Molly Gwendolyn, if you'll believe me...

Saturday 15 January 2005

Okie, here's the lowdown so far:~ School as per normal, with Bush and Carson crashing into NJ on Wednesday or Thursday, I can't remember... Sheng De was forced into a CHIJ pinafore yesterday, and he had to sit through the entire Econs tutorial looking absolutely ridiculous. Wilfred unexpectedly came over for youth service last night... He's been working at Chek Haw's father's jewellery shop earning a decent thousand plus plus... PE at school in two consecutive days. My muscles are aching badly. I'm 165 cm and 51 kg, as of 13012005. I'm too short and too light.. Gotta grow upwards more and grow heavier... =D

Wednesday 12 January 2005

I have no idea why, but I'm starting to feel quite tired lately. I'm sleeping enough hours everyday, but I don't sleep well...
Life at NJ is not exactly stressful, but then again it's partly because it's still the first 3 months and all that stuff. We started on all the tutorials and lectures from this week onwards... Can't say much about the lessons, but the teachers are highly interesting. We've got an extremely comical Maths teacher, we've got the level head for GP, and everyone had mixed opinions about our civics tutor... That's mostly stuff from school... And I'm looking forward to the day when Sheng-De is going to be dressed in a SCGS uniform!! Haha...

Other than that, I'm busy planning all kinds of rubbish. Okay, for all you people reading this, there will be a "Insights : Inside" at Jericho for two consecutive Friday nights, then there'll be activities planned in the March holidays and on Good Friday... Yup, I'll really need to manage my time well this few months...

On the verge of developing a sore throat. Nutseed just finished her first full packet of sunflower seeds. Gonna doze off soon...

Friday 7 January 2005

Okie, today was an extremely long day... It was the last day of JC Orientation, so they had in line a barbeque session and dance party, which lasted all the way until 2100. Yup, it was funky of course... A few people were in some hip-hop dance group orsomething, and their moves were synchronised and AWESOME... Yup, my class is quite funky too... We have our own Taufik and Maia, and everyone is always laughing or smiling at Sheng-De (this comical blur-blur guy)... And the amazing thing is, we all clicked well right from the start... Anyway, after the dance party, I rushed back down to corps for cell, which I promised Dora that I'd be there, but that crazy nut wasn't there. Pooh... Pretty soon I'll be taking over Ben's cell and merging my cell with Biru's... Long story cut chort, me and Biru are now co-cell leaders.

Tuesday 4 January 2005

Hmm... My orientation in NJC wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be... Turned out that some of my former 2-6 buddies back in Catholic High were there for first 3 months too. But I'm practically alone in my class, cos only Yuxuan was the other ex-CH in our Arts class... It's quite fun actually. There's mass dances sessions which I'm always trying not to step on the girl's toes... There's a lot of cheers going on and everyone is cheering all the time... There's some cool dudes and really really outgoing people in my class, which just makes interaction a lot more friendly... Yup. I've got 5 days of orientation in total, and it doesn't look as if I'll disintegrate there. In fact, I just might survive... Only nut is the 45-minute traffic jam every morning, but Sarah claims it'll be better after the first few weeks. We'll see...

School ends like 1700 each day. By the time I reached home, I'm dead tired. I'm constantly feeling as though something is missing in my life... Oh well...

Saturday 1 January 2005

WAHOO!! It's a whole new year ahead of me, and the start of 2005!!

Yup, I had a rather indifferent celebration to the New Year this year... Last night (New Year's Eve) I was at Bishan Park with Coleman and Andre and Cheryn and Felix, playing sparklers and candles and setting up a small fire... Well, the crappy thing was two NParks people came over to us and warned us not to start any fires and stuff. It's a national park, so what can you expect?? So me, being the oldest of the group there, I had to surrender some of my particulars on the spot as a warning... Sheesh... Anyway, they were just doing their job, and they were diplomatic about it, so I'll just make sure the next time I'm burning something at the park again, I must have someone older than me... Haha...

I just came back from a trip to my new school... I've never been to NJC before, so me and my parents went on a bus trip there to familiarise myself with the surroundings... It's not too difficult, but the bus trip took 25 minutes. Yar... That's about it. And I changed the music again... VERTIGO!! Yea boy, U2 totally rocks...
