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...

Okay, it's officially out, after like 3~4 months of waiting and 2 years worth of slogging... O's results were out today, and I got a decent 10... Well, it's good enough, for my standards. I'm happy... Should be staying in NJ, and of course in the Arts faculty. Got my A1 in Geography (YAY!), but the real stinker was English (A2)... Bah...

Skipped school today. Well, not exactly skipped TOTALLY... I went to school for morning assembly, then sneaked off to town with my classmates. Went Macs for breakfast. Loaned money to Jia Mein to get her earrings, cos they were the last pair and she MUST have them... Had to endure her jumping up and down though... Then we went to Kinokuniya, and we're just about to leave when I saw LUKE!! Yup, he was there too with a whole bunch of girls and he was the only guy... So I tagged along... Haha...

Well, Flukey-Lukey beat me by one point. He's very happy, of course... I told him it was a fluke, but he whatever-ed me... My mum's happy too... But I think she expected me to better my prelim's result, cos I got 10 in prelims too...

Okay, it's official. Monday is the O's results day. And my life so far? Eating non-stop. Then I'll start thinking I'm growing fat and go for a 3 km run. I need something to at least distract me from thinking about the results. Man... This is so nerve-wrecking. Just wanna get the results ASAP...

05A01 has another 2 more weeks. Kinda sad to have to say goodbye to each other after these two months plus... Everybody's trying to enjoy themselves as much as possible before the real exodus creeps in...

And... The question you never fail to ask me all the time whenever you see/talk to me... Yes, I did... (:

O's results are supposed to be coming out this Friday or next Monday. Well, there's 2 more days till this Friday, but we haven't got anything on the news yet, so I presume it's next Monday... Stupid MOE... Can't they just kill all suspense and just release the results like, now?? All these speculating are seriously stressing me out. It's a bit ironic, really... You've slogged for 2 years just to cram the entire syllabus into your head, and now you're afraid to get your output...

I'm back. Rain is good, it helps lower the hot temperatures. Sunshine is good, but the heat is bad. Sunshine is good, and the tan you get from the sun is awesome!

I'm just back from AJC and SAJC fun-fairs... Went to AJ's first, met Aaron and Yurong and Clarissa outside the AJ bus-stop, but I was late for 20 minutes. Ate baked potato with bacon, got a pink balloon flower, saw a lot of my old friends, and basically basked around there in the hot sun. Then Alicia came with her friend (also named Aaron), then me and Yurong decided to go to SAJ's fun-fair... Well, we stupidly followed Ali Baboon's advice to take 13 then transfer to 93, which was half correct... Yurong and me did take 13 all the way down to Braddell Rd, but we were supposed to take 93 on the opposite end of the road. Ali Baboon told us to stay on the same side of the road... Guess what? The two of us ended up at Eunos before we realised we're going the wrong way... Anyway, we reached SAJ at around 1600h, and their closing time was 1700h... But that was okay, because they were desperate to get rid of all their stock and so the prices were all reduced by a lot... Haha, price mechanism at work... Yar, we were walking around getting souvenirs and playing games, until Sun Yanzi came... Yup, she was making a special appearance cos she used to be a SAJ student... And guess what? The two of us chased after her and screamed like mad... YES, it's the first time in my life that I'm chasing after a celebrity... We were planning to ask for her autograph, but she was mobbed by a whole crowd of people and all... Haha...

Ooh... It finally rained today!! After like what, 3~4 weeks of "drought", and 300++ bushfires, the sky finally let down some rain today... Yar, I was in school having GP tutorial when we heard thunder, and then rain... But stupidly, so many hot days, and the rain barely lasted 15 minutes... C'mon, can't the clouds let loose a bit more??

Had PE today... It was NAPFA trials for standing broad jump and pull-ups... I'm seriously unfit and getting fat... Managed only 4 pull-ups. But the awesome thing is, I recorded a personal-best for broad jump! I could never jump for nuts' sake, and the first jump was 180cm... Then I remembered Matthew's "aim highwards" advice, and the second jump was 195cm... It was much better than I expected, but I still need 216cm to pass (NJ standards)...

Ate a lot of chocolates these few days, so I made it up by doing 5 rounds in total round the field... Thought I clocked a lot of mileage already, but Khairi said he did 10km, compared to my measly 2km...

Lots of mosquitoes... But I only got one or two bites... The mozzies don't like me... (:

Great! Just great! My life is great! GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!

and hug me more... (:

Hmm... My Chinese New Year holidays were quite fun, I guess... At least I did some meaningful stuff rather than just laze around at home and will my life off... Let's see, on Tuesday I had half day of school... NJ CNY celebrations included Treasure Hunt and Hamper Wrapping Competition... So you can more or less guess where this whole crap is heading to... Then went to Yishun after that with Nora and Cheryn for lunch... On Wednesday I went visiting at Michael's house. Had a "mandarin-eating competition" with him... Haha, inspiration from May Ee... (: And yup, today I went to my grandma's house for lunch, then after that was just basically stoning at home until Biru asked me whether I want to go catch a movie... So we were down at J8 watching Constantine... We sat right at the front! Yes, the front row... Got a sprained neck after the show ended... Didn't understand the plot, was more amused by Biru covering her eyes for 75% of the show...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Yep, I'm feeling so much better now... Last night I was seriously pissed with everyone and anyone... But come to think of it now, there wasn't really a point to be angry actually... I mean, just because I had a bad day doesn't mean that I've gotta get angry at everyone, so I'm way past the fury feeling right now. Actually it was because Eleanor called me this morning to apologise... As I said, no point in being perpetually angry, so I accepted it... And whoever else I blasted at yesterday, sorry too... Feeling kinda guilty too, cos I was angry at some of my good friends too... Yar, even though I didn't scream at them, I was angry WITH them... Yup, I owe them my quiet apologies too, and I've promised myself not to get overly-twitchy ever again...

Anyway, I just set up this *HUGS* TOTAL thingy just below the music player... Go on... GIMME MANY MANY HUGS!!

I'm feeling kinda stupid right now. Had an extremely terrible day... Waited aimlessly for ONE HOUR at Novena Square for Eleanor... And when she did come, she started whining and complaining about everything and anything... Her reason for being late? Overslept. Didn't even bother to apologise. I got so pissed that I just made up some lousy excuse and left her right there... Before that, I was at Queensway to get the baller-id bands for our class... We were told two weeks ago that stock would come in today, but it was all sold out on that day... At night during youth service was worse... I came early to discover only 10 odd people, and it stayed that way even when we began late... It made me wonder whether all these work for the church was worth it... Or whether I made the right choice to skip the CIP opening thing at Toa Payoh... And right after worship ended, some people who were obviously oblivious walked in making a whole lot of noise, laughing and talking and smiling and exclaiming... So much for "honoring God by being punctual"... If you're late because of school, that's okay, but late because you were gone having fun and totally hecked the idea of being punctual? Smack yourself. I should have gone to Toa Payoh instead... No no, I should have stayed at home and did my own QT... Yan Peng was right, you don't come to church to socialise, you go to church to worship Him. Hadn't had cell for 4 weeks in a row, well, at least I had the chance to talk to some of them... Andre mysteriously disappeared... Then was waiting for another half an hour aimlessly (AGAIN) before I realised I waited in vain. How very smart I am.

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...

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...

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

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...

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.

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...

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...
