Okay, I'm very tired. Got tonnes of homework to do over the weekend. I just realised that I haven't been doing all my tutorials and assignments... I mean, yes, I only realised it yesterday, and I've not touched any tutorials for at least 3 weeks already... And this whole week all 3 Lit teachers were on course, so all our Lit lessons and lectures were free, but of course there's a lot of homework given. And add those to the Maths homework that I still owe, so I've got a lot to catch up.

3 tests this week. First time since 6 or 7 months... I mean, I kinda miss the old days of studying for my O's. In the past it's normal to have at least 5 to 6 tests crammed in one week, now it's only 3 tests and I'm crumbling from the pressure... But they're okay I guess... I got 14 of 20 for Econs MCQ, then Maths wasn't as bad as it seemed to be...

Greenlink is NOT a slack CCA. Anybody who says so ought to be smacked. Really. After all those time spent planning the Earth Week campaign, getting proposals thrown back at you, scripts rejected, rehearsals, preparations, balloons, ribbons, and a whole lot of other stuff. WHOO... Earth Week was officially over yesterday. The opening ceremony was AWESOME, then I spent all my lunch hours selling SPCA merchandise and 2nd-hand books... One good thing was I gained instant recognition from the pub-stunt and the SPCA/2nd-hand books selling. Everybody I meet in NJ now know me as "the guy from greenlink"... Okie, lame... After Earth Week is all the green competitions, then I'm co-IC with Peiling for the landscaping of the garden... Hee, I thought I can rest a bit after Earth Week, but apparently not.

Went for old 05A01 class outing on Wednesday. I miss them A LOT A LOT... There's just some things that are incomparable to these bunch of special people... Had dinner and talked rubbish and poked fun at each other and basically just caught up with things with each other...

The new class of 05A01 is awesome too. I was in a lousily bad mood on Thursday, snapped at Shi En in the morning, and then sulked my way through the whole day... What really touched me was the concern from everyone and anyone, trying to cheer me up and everything... Thanks, you guys really light up my world...

And, thank you for putting up with my tiredness and grumpiness and craziness... Hee... Save the orang-utans...

And that's basically it for now... I'm tired and lazy... Hee hee... (:

I'm extremely busy this week. Greenlink meetings practically everyday, and it doesn't end till about 7pm in the evening. Everyday I reach home so tired and dump that I don't feel like doing anything else... I think I'm in a permanently grumpy mood... And I'm sick. Caught a flu bug from Amy, then I started coughing again as well... Wednesday was council election speeches, sat in the hall to listen through every elect (about 100 of them)... Friday was the only day that I didn't have Greenlink, so I slacked around with Atiqah and Jaslyn and goodness knows who... Went to watch the tennis match (NJ won CJ 4-1), then went to the library to cast in my votes for the council elects...

40 days of purpose is pretty good so far... My cell group is superb, we went fo breakfast this morning before service, and everyone is happy with each other (I think)... And we did this "passing sheets of paper round to write good things about the person" thingy, then Pei Ying is going to be my spiritual partner for the rest of the 40 days and Andre is hilarious and co-cell leading with Biru is quite fun actually....

I need sleep... And thanks for the Strepsils... I think the coughing stopped...

Hi I'm in school now... Waiting for Greenlink to start, got another hour to go... I've been waiting since 1230, and it doesn't begin till 1630... There's Atiqah and Amy beside me now, apparently slacking as I am. Think I'm wasting my time here... Wasting like 240 minutes of my life, or 14400 seconds... Okay, I'm going nuts. I want green tea. And I got 20 odd people to vote into council, but the problem is each person is only given 12. Hmm... Oppotunity costs is going to be high.

Ms Koh said our Human Geog report on India looked impressive on first glance... At least it justified the 3 plus plus hours spent on the computer yesterday...

Hung this big tag round my neck that says Pick Khairi because I'm advertising for his council application. Think I look stupid, cos everywhere I go people stares at me like I'm some monster...

I need more time. There's tonnes of things to be done. Greenlink and Earth Week is sucking a lot of time. 40 Days of Purpose leading is a bit stressful. Homework not done. PW rubbish. Hello Kitty. Nutseed. Trying to bond with my new classmates. Trying to squeeze time for my family. And trying to keep in touch with friends. And trying to do this, do that... I need to prioritize...

A bit impatient lately, but trying very hard not to blow up and explode. But I can feel myself swelling up like a balloon though...

I'm still wishing for my green tea to be pink... Nobody knows how to do it...

Put my ez-link card through some serious tapping today... Practically the whole afternoon for me was hopping from one bus to another. Okay, let me try and narrate the entire sequence... Morning as usual was bus 74 to NJ, met Han Xiang on the bus. Then after school, I went down to Trinity's Manna bookstore on bus 74 to get some stuff, then I took 852 all the way to opposite Whitley because I wanted to go to Concourse. Met Qi Ling (what a flirt... Haha...) and her friend Hong Keow on the bus, then I took bus 54 all the way to CHIJ TP just to change to bus 980, which goes all the way to Concourse. I bought the stuff required for Greenlink's Earth Week launch, cost me a cool $20, but it's going to be a rebate from Greenlink funds... Then I took bus 980 back home, and boy, I hate Beach Road and North Bridge Road... Was caught in the jam, and what was worse was that each time the bus moved 50 metres, it'll be stopped by a traffic light... There were so many traffic lights at every junction, and they all like to turn red at the same time. I stopped opposite Novena MRT to change to bus 54 (again), the whole bus trip was very crowded, met David Chan on the bus along the way...

Okay, I calculated... 7 bus trips altogether... I'm going to go nuts over buses, like Ebenizer...

I've been extremely busy and tired the past week and this week so far... Last Friday was the first small group meeting for 40 Days of Purpose, and Biru so nicely chose a good time to catch a fever on that day, so I had to lead alone (with a little bit of Ben's help)... And what was worse was the night before I got into a super moody mood, flared up at people... Terrible...

Then on Saturday morning I had to drag myself down to Botanical Gardens because Greenlink is in the midst of a camp and BG was the venue for our fashio parade... Lugged several empty cans, all the arty stuff like paint, had an hour to design a costume out of all those recycled materials... Sabrina very kindly "volunteered" to be our model; tied this white cloth that was smudged with paint around her, there's a chain of cans as a scarf, a newspaper hat with lots of cut-out images from the BG pamphlets... Yup, the end result is a very cute and Indian-looking Sab... Haha, and of course we won... We're the Art and Publicity committee after all...

I don't know, I think maybe I'm indeed losing my patience over a lot of things... The homework load, left undone, just piles up continuously, and Project Work is probably going to take up a lot of time, then I still need to set time for quiet time, and there's this rubbish immersion thingy with Taiwan...

A01 finally had their first outing... Monday night was dinner at KAP Mac's...

Oh, did I mention I pass my NAPFA?? Woohoo! I passed my standing broad jump on the dot. 206cm was required to pass, and I did that on the mark. I think it's the first time since primary school NAPFA, can't remember... Got 6 for pull-ups, 10.3s for shuttle run, 58 (personal best... Muahaha) for sit-ups, 30-something for sit-and-reach... So basically I got C and above in most stations except broad jump... BUT I PASSED!! Yea, and 2.4km is coming soon...

I wish I had an unlimited supply of green tea... Must be the Pokka jasmine one... But I wish that green tea is pink in colour, but that would mean it would have to be called "pink tea". I want the name to stay "green tea" except that the liquid must be pink... Can it be "pink green tea"? Or should it be "green tea that is pink"?? Hmm...

Hmm... School is good so far. I'm integrating well with my new classmates, there's a Chok Tong and a Hsien Loong somewhere, cos these two girls "renamed" themselves so that the three of us can form a political party in our class, mainly because I'm Kuan Yew... Yar, I know it's lame... But it's this kind of silly jokes that draw you together as a class... The bonding times, the newly built foundations of friendship... Oh, Wednesdays are designated PINK SOCKS DAY!! Muaha, there's like 3 or 4 other girls in class who are crazy over pink too... Pink heaven...

Went to Swensen's yesterday evening with all the AmazinGrace planning people. Ate a lot, then there's still a lot of fattening ice cream... Then there's birthday celebrations at school too. I'm now the Geography rep in class, and newly-appointed "cake rep"... Yea, on Monday I bought this Oreo's Delight cake for Wei Kit's birthday, then last night after Swensen's I bought this Tiramisu cake from BreadTalk for Sam's and Kai Jie's (new classmates) birthday...

I miss the old A01 a lot. Just had a good long chat with Shih Ying the other day, and it just hit me how much I want the class to stay unseparated. And everytime I bump into people like Benny, Sheng-De etc, I just can't stop thinking of all the stuff we did back when we were a class together... I know that change is inevitable, but it's still saddening to think off all those wonderful moments...

Gotta shake off that old A01 inertia... Preserve the memories, and at the same time focus on what is ahead in the future...

Officially met our class-mates for the next 2 years... Yup, I'm still in 05A01, and Mr Leong is still our CT. Sara and Benny went to 05A02 cos they were humanities scholarship applicants, and everyone just basically split up to all the different Sciences classes... Quite miserable actually, considering that 7 people stayed in A01, and a lot of the new people in our class was from AJ in their first 3 months... And the proportion of males to females is skewed... 6 or 7 guys to 15 or 16 girls...

Anyway, when to Spotlight for the 3rd time in 2 weeks, but I think the Heeren record (5 times in a week) is more impressive... Haha... I was tasked to get ribbons for Greenlink, cos there's this Earth Week coming up. And suddenly, after like 3 months of inactivity, Greenlink suddenly has a lot of events coming up... Amazing... Oh, I submitted my application to join Library also. But now the trend for most "slacking students" is to drop all their CCA commitments, cos the PEARLS system is abolished already... Don't know whether if I'm rational or irrational to pick up another CCA...

And the school is forcing me to take Literature... Apparently I got into NJ by my own merit, so I have to adhere to college standards by taking 4 A Level subjects. WHAT A BUMMER... I was actually contented with 3 As, but now there's this whole issue with Lit when I'm not even interested in it...

We've got 2 previously-in-05A02 people that's now in A01, and they're wanting to switch back to their original class. And Sara and Benny also want to switch back to A01, so them and their friends in A02 made a whole big RARA hoohah by stating reasons and demanding to see teachers-in-charge of the class allocations... Quite rash behavior in my perspective, and there were lots of tears...

I'm feeling quite sad too... All my good friends are either in other colleges or in other classes...

40 Days of Purpose is starting this Sunday. Weng Yin came on Friday for the youth launch/connection party, and Dai Xuan (Yurong's friend in NJ, she's in Greenlink also) came too... All of us skipped the dance party, but I heard they played an April Fool's joke by stopping the party half-way through...

And, lastly, Happy Birthday to Cheryn and Keat Fu, birthday wishes tomorrow... And to Wei Kit on Monday...
