Hmm... Orientation is over, but we've still got a dance party scheduled this Friday night. I'll sure love to go, but there's the Connection Party for the 40 Days of Purpose, so I'll give dancing a skip. Danced a lot with Weng Yin already, cos on Monday they scheduled us for 2 hours worth of mass dancing, then we were watching horrendously at this volunteer couple on stage dancing VIGOROUSLY... Scary...

Anyway, we're stuck in temporary OGs until next week, because the teachers are taking so long to sort and band us into our classes. Alex is in NJ now. So is Wei Ting... Met them around in school somewhere... Wore the full grey NJ uniform on Tuesday onwards, and everyone looked so dull... And I sat in through the whole day at school with millions of breaks everywhere because I'm not taking Literature or any Science subjects. Then I'm trying to busy myself preparing the materials for 40 Days, trying to schedule my time for certain "demanding" people, which include surprise visits and all... Haha...

I think I set a new personal record or something... Just realised that I've been to the Heeren for THREE times in THREE days... Yup. Tuesday was there before watching a movie at Cine, then I was there yesterday after orientation to go walk around with my school mates... And today? Skipped the morning sessions of the orientation with Sheng-de and Wei Kit and a whole big bunch of Chinese High guys... You guessed it. Went to town, went to HEEREN, thereby setting a new record of 3 Heeren visits in 3 days... Haha...

To go through orientation again, frankly speaking, is quite boring. Yesterday all the OGLs were trying to convince us to participate in the games, but our whole class (who stuck together in the same OG) sort of just ignored all of them. In the end, we went back to our classroom to enjoy aircon and bonding sessions before we all split up... And Weng Yin is still my default dance partner in mass dance!

Today was no better... Early in the morning, we got news that today is still not going to be class posting results announcement, so the whole RV gang disappeared... I went out of school too... Was at Kinokuniya the whole morning, browsing the entire design section with Sheng-de. We decided to go back to school later on, and along the way to the bus-stop, we were jaywalking across the road just outside Ngee Ann City, and Sheng-de got hit by a motor-bike that came out of nowhere... The fortunate thing was that he only got a bruise from the impact, but his phone's LCD screen is severly damaged...

Back at school, it was more aircon-ed classroom bonding, then danced some more with Weng Yin, switched partners and was dancing with Jie Xin... Even though the mass dance was still the same song and movements, I'm struggling to remember the movements... Aargh...

And the worst thing is, Linus and May Ee were unsuccessful in appealing back to NJ...

And to my "default dance partner", Weng Yin... Happy Birthday tomorrow... And it's Good Friday tomorrow too... And to my good pal Linus, Happy Birthday on Saturday...

WHEE!! I'm back in NJ Arts! But it's like very depressing, cos quite a few people are leaving the college, or they'll go over to Science and break up the original 05A01... The school called us back to school just to announce that there are no lessons today, that we're free to leave after checking the posting results... SO DUMB!! Anyway, we left school after confirming our places, went to town to walk around, caught a lame movie (Lemony Snickett's Series of Unfortunate Events), sat down at home and stone... Everybody's wishing that the whole class can stay together, but we all know that it's quite impossible. And everyone's so depressed over this whole issue... Sigh...

I feel like a caterpillar now, but what I really wanna feel like is being a duck... A pink one...

Okay, let's start from yesterday... It was the whole day at Sentosa for me... Brought a frisbee and a rubber ball there to play, but we lost the ball early in the morning... Haha, we were at the Southernmost part of the whatever Peninsular rubbish, then Wei Kit was kicking the ball around when the wind blew it into the open sea.

No choice, we ended up playing with the frisbee, Apri refused to run, then me and Edwin kept having our own mini frisbee toss... Then we had a "bio experiment" with the hermit crabs and molluses-in-a-shell by burying them in sand and water, then watching them wiggle free from all that slosh...

After the beach, we went for a budget lunch at 7-11 eating cup noodles. Then it was cycling time... We rented our bikes, cycled from the start of Siloso beach all the way to the end of it, then we cycled back to the start of Siloso beach again, crossed Palawan, turned about at Tanjong beach, then went halfway into Palawan beach again before turning around AGAIN to go up the slope of Allanbrooke Road. And here enters the thrill of Sentosa... Allanbrooke Road is the steep slope leading to the Dolphin Lagoon, so me, Edwin and Jia Mein were climbing the slope then going down at break-neck speed... WHOO... Controlling the bike was easier for me than Edwin and Jia Mein, cos the two of them were on tandem bikes as Jia Mein didn't know how to cycle...

Enough cycling, we went back to Siloso beach, May Ee arrived from whatever appointment she had, then we were playing by the fountain when Sheng-De slipped and fell... Next thing we knew he was having a very heavy nose-bleed, then the beach patrol had to rush down... It wasn't anything serious though, cos Sheng-De kept insisting that he was okay... Yup, we played some more frisbee, I went home early, sun burnt and tired limbs...

Today?? Okay, today was AmazinGrace, the actual day of the race after like 2 months of planning. Met at Jericho, then after all the contestants arrived (we had 4 teams of three), all the station masters (me included) rushed to our own respective stations. The clue to my station was "Auntie Molly Killed Katie's Fat Cat", which was essentially AMK KFC, where I sat there doing Econs revision and eating popcorn chicken for 4 hours... Well, 3 teams passed my station, due to the shortage of time... It was not that bad too... Kat and Uncle Vincent dropped by to do some filming, then later on Amelia Yeo and TAMMY and their friend came along... Haha, coincidentally, JEREMY and Coleman and Adriel were at my station at that time... Yes... Uh huh, Kay Kiat and his two friends emerged champions because they covered the most stations with the most right answers, then Aaron, Gerome and Justin was second. Yar, it was a great day...

Okay, I did quite a lot of travelling today, I guess... In the afternoon I was having lunch with my mum. After that I went to Spotlight to get some art supplies, then I took a bus back to Jericho... And at around 1700, I took another bus to town for dinner at NYDC with my classmates at NJ... And to top it off, I took another bus back to Jericho after that...

Yup, and coincidentally I took the same bus for all the trips to and fro... Yes, I was aboard bus 162 for four times today... Haha...

And how I wish, how I really wish I was a tree-branch... Haha... (:

Hmm, I'm feeling weird... I don't know how exactly to pinpoint this feeling, but all I can say is weird. Haha... Was at Kim Eng yesterday, which was this stockbroking firm at Suntec City... Quite fun actually... I wouldn't mind becoming a remisier in the future... And I'm still trying to jam the JAE website. Added like 5000 hits in the past two days, then Jia Mein was trying to flood the hugs counter on my blog... Yar, I can't think of anything else to do online anyway... Heeps... A few more days to go... Think I'm going to go nuts for the next week...

Hmm... Just got confirmation from Chris that NJ's standards really did dropped. It was always in the top five, but this time we're 7th... No wonder the principal didn't give us a half-day or whatsoever. And now it's like almost certain that I'll be in NJ instead of AJ or anywhere else...

Had close to 2 hours of Captain's Ball yesterday during PE... Everyone was jumping everywhere and trying to catch passes and trying to intercept the long throws and throwing and screaming... Having the most fun we could possibly have before people switch schools, or go to Science... After school, we hopped down for more ice cream, and as far as I could remember, I think it was the first time so many people filled up the seats in Estivo's...

Then it was another frantic rush down to Jericho for preparation of the AmazinGrace... We're like mostly prepared, but we need more people to participate...

And I miss the warm feeling... The warming of your heart so great that you just feel like melting...

Everything's as it should be... Went IKEA after school yesterday with Sheng-de to go window-shopping. I saw tonnes of stuff that I would definitely love to have, but they're all going to cost me a lot though... Sigh... Then in school the teachers are all away on some course, or they're down with SYF rehearsals, so we get a lot of free periods here and there... I can't find anything else to do online, so I went down to the JAE Application website for fun. Well, if you go there, you'll find this "hits counter", which have seen like 1.4 million hits so far. And, just for the kick of it, I tried to cause a massive jam on the website... Haha, the thing with Mozilla is that they allow this tabs thingy, so I'm able to add 5 hits each time I click refresh. And after a while, the website just jammed. Pathetic.

I brought THREE different people to NJ this week... Haha... Yurong and Clarissa came to crash on Wednesday, then it was Jun Rong's turn on Thursday. And it turned out that my Civics Tutor was Yurong's previous teacher at FMSS... What a small world after-all...

They just shifted the JAE application deadline to Monday. Darn, if I had known, I might have registered later... But it doesn't really make any difference anyway... It's either stay in NJ, or go join Clarissa at AJ... Skipped double GP on Thursday to go down to AJ to ask for their subject combinations... They have my combi, but they don't have Jia Mein's... And suddenly a lot of Cat High guys are appealing to NJ through the soccer team...

And yes... I'll be the one to ask you the question first the next time I see you... Haha...

I had no school today, cos NJ decided to let us off for one day after the results are released... Anyway, I was at town again, with my classmates to go watch Howl's Moving Castle. Eh, the movie was captivating, wish it was Moving Palace or some other name though... Eh, okie, we went home after that, I got caught in a traffic jam cos a bus broke down just opposite corps... After dinner, I decided to register for the JAE... Put NJ Arts first choice, then AJ Arts. The rest of the 10 options I just filled in rubbish, because even if I can't make it to NJ, I'll be at AJ.

Stupidly depressed now. I'm okay with my results. I'm satisfied with it, but the thing is you've gotta keep being sensitive to other people's feelings. Wish everyone would just stop thinking about results, and focus on the better parts of life... Oh well...
