Long day + long hours = fiery temper

Today was a thoroughly busy day, and I haven’t got time to breathe, let alone take my breakfast lunch and dinner (Yes, at this moment while I’m still typing my stomach is growling and rumbling, ingesting my innards slowly). Had GP for about an hour (on how to slay the GP monster AGAIN), a 1½ hour break, 1 hour of Physics, 2½ hours or dumb talks in the hall, 1¾ hours of Chemistry. My timetable ran all the way to about 4pm, non-stop.

Then halfway during Chemistry, this ACS guy came in and plopped down in the vacant seat beside me, and boy, does he reek of CHOCOLATES! And he was popping Cadbury chocolates through-out the entire lesson and shaking his leg. Crap. I hate this kind of crappy person.
And guess what? Fleur, Zelun, Aik Leng (I’m not even complaining) and I got into the same class. It was such a great coincidence… hope we stick together these 2 years, although I dun really prefer to see Aik Leng’s face 24-7. I can tolerate, I guess.

All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending

How shall I start today’s entry? Should I carry on about today’s long and dreary day or point out the fact that hypocrisy exists in the people you least expect them to be?
The school started the mass lecture system today. I remembered when I was in the first intake going for my first day of mass lectures, I messed it up by going for totally irrelevant subject lectures. Ha-ha. The lectures were full of non-subject related stuff, like the composition of marks and all that. Boring day.

Are you a hypocrite? Just a random scribe here, since the last time I babbled on and on about guys and music and no one fully understood the cover story. My recent encounter with one was a bolt from the blue, and though I nursed no ill feelings towards the person, the numb feeling tends to hit the soul hard. Why has it got to be someone so close to me? Why did the person do all those nasty stuff to the people around me? Was it just me, or was the person plain sick? All the questions had so much silence for an answer. Avril sings, “You were all the things I thought I knew…”… Did I not see what the person saw? Well then again, all this can end on a happy note, with me pretending that this decade-old friendship has survived all the stuff and all that, and I will, because I treasure you too much.

Take care, my friend. I will always love you for all your back-stabbing and hypocrisy.

Really missing you

Entertained the 2nd intake for the second day. I guess they’re still pretty fresh to our cheers and dance steps, but trust me people, you’ll love us to bits. Haha.

Kept sticking to Steph and Rach because my OG members are pretty… cold, even to each other. Poor things. Registered for my subjects!!! I’m pretty excited but a little jittery about the subjects I’m going to take (hello 4 subjects mind you) and I’m not really sure if I can cope. But it would be a definite waste if I were to take just 3 subjects, since my results already gave me a passport to take 4 subjects, so why ditch the idea? Many people would die to be in my place, I swear, and I die to be in theirs.

Went to the Mac near West Mall with Steph, Rach, Von, Jin Yuan and friend. Kept making fun of Rach and Charlton (it’s a long story and if I were to run an entry about it I would probably die typing) and Steph being a butch and all. Yi Hao came along later on to join us because he had to come all the way from SP. He’s become scruffier and darker since the last time we saw him. Pretty sad case for him, because I wouldn’t mind such a big crappy joker around to lighten up the atmosphere, but the school is selfish enough not to let him in. And he dressed exactly like a cao ah beng because of his graffiti tee and pretty tight jeans. Looks like working hasn’t made him fashion-wise. Looks like I’m going to miss all this crap and this bunch of crappy people once the work rolls in. Bless you all people.

First day of Orientation 2

Today’s the first admission day for JAE, and I guess tempers more or less flared because of the behavior of the students. Firstly, they had talks all the way from 8 to 12 pm. Totally boring was the schedule, and I was literally sleeping with my eyes wide open. Then they had mass dance (which I have always hated) for I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Rock Around The Clock. I danced with Rach, and we looked so odd together. By this time, we’ve already anticipated a scolding from the teachers because of our behavior. And true enough, we got ushered into the LT and Mr Liao was literally roaring at us, his voice echoing around the hall. Could see that the teachers were pretty upset with us (the first intake) because we weren’t enthusiastic enough and Mr Liao said quite a lot of nasty stuff (he was on the verge of yelling vulgar stuff) about our performance. Yes, I guess no one has really warmed up to the fact that it’s officially the start of school. Just hope that everyone in the first intake can put in their maximum effort tomorrow, ok people? We’ll show the second intake what our JC and our OGLs have instilled in us, as well as our maturity.

05A06 BBQ of the century

The BBQ on Tuesday was pretty fun, besides the part of me getting real pissed over someone. The BBQ was probably the cleanest BBQ I've ever had, and the food tasted great. We kept the fire going on a quarter bag of charcoal until almost 10pm, so this was probably the most cost-saving BBQ. Haha. Played card games, frisbee (that was at 7++pm) and squeeze murderer. Damn fun, although only about half the class turned up.
Credits to: Zahari & girlfriend (who graciously helped to get the food stuff cuz of Halal reasons), Stephanie, Hailin, Rachel, Jennifer (for her entertainment value), Janice (for being a great guest), Shue Jun (for being the woman among the men), Fleur, Mel, Zelun (for refusing to catch my frisbee), Jing Han, Jin Yuan & Yi Hao.
Below are some photos from the BBQ as well as some misc. shots from school.

Wei Zhong's "special noodles" with tissue paper, cut chili, chili sauce, McD's curry sauce & some other unknown ingredients.Yummm... Jin Yuan in the grey-white shirt. Just look at the two lovey-dovey people! What's Yi Hao doing, peeking from behind? Jin Han and Zelun saluting with hotdogs... Jin Han: Stop shoving me!Zelun: Hello?! Like I don't want to catch some sleep? I've been saluting to Tan Kah Kee all night!!!

Stephy with Jenny's Von Dutch trucker cap. I kept calling Steph Jenny and Jenny was a lil' pissed...

Damn depressed

I'm thoroughly depressed. I keep changing my schedule this week but it seems impossible for my meetings to keep out of on another. It's like, my stuff have formed themselves into teeny tiny Venn diagrams which keep intersecting each other. What the hell.

Mum got me a Genesis acoustic I've been eyeing on its online catalogue. It's my first time caring for a steel-string acoustic (other than the broken one belonging to my uncle lolz) so I'm reading up alot on websites about how to care for it and all that.

Missing you

Last day of the term. It’s sad to realize that today would probably the last time I’ll see some of my classmates… But hanging out was real cool. GP was fun as usual, although I’m bored with the words (you get what I’m saying). We skipped the rest and used it for bonding time (haha what a lie). Then my CT asked Hailin and me if we were interested in this seminar which is organized by JJC to be held at NTU in June. We were cool with it, because it would serve as an eye-opener for both of us. Quite cool, actually. Then the few of us went to IMM to lunch before going to the Jurong East Library to chat. They kept talking about Charlton, who was this extremely ugly and obese guy in our school, and victimized Rachel by making fun of her and Charlton. Lolz. Damn funny, especially when they started talking crap... I’m going to miss this bunch of people.

Singing in the rain

I guess that it can be awfully disturbing to have a real raw-minded person in your vicinity, because it has always occurred to me that I have a limit to my tolerance for their behavior. And the thing is, I have to tolerate this everyday. Fleur happens to be that very person who subjects me to such torture. She can sing awfully loud in the MRT, a very public place, even when it’s loaded with office workers suffering from mid-day foul status. Imagine, you’re starving and suffocated and grumpy, competing for air with the other commuters, and there’s this school girl occupying that much-wanted seat and irritating you with a tune which overpowered the grumbling in your digestive system. Yikes, I’ll say. Don’t get me wrong, because I do look up to people who can carry a tune without drifting off, but that was far too extreme.

Very much wanted to buy my JC’s uniform today so I can wash it in time for me to wear it tomorrow, the last day of this term. But the bookshop auntie was a little PMS-sy today and was grumbling over the phone about making a police report about something. Search me. So the verdict’s that I won’t have the chance to wear it tomorrow. Thought it would be impressive to wear the uniform tomorrow. Whatever.

Give me a break

Is it just me or are the people around me turning obnoxious? It’s absolutely irritating to have people yelling in my face for the 5th time in the morning, and it’s driving me nuts. It’s tricky enough to make sense out of my Economics notes and stay awake at the same time, and these people just have to barge into my morning to kill my study momentum. Someone yelled from the kitchen to make some suggestions for lunch later on, someone else yelled from the room for assistance to subdue a puny mosquito and someone is also chanting inaudible stuff in front of me. Crap. What kind of a Sunday morning is this? The one in the kitchen immediately loses her cool and starts to curse, the one in the room is fussing over non-existent insects and the chanting in front of me only seems to propagate even more sound waves at a higher frequency into my ears. What the hell.

Shallow for a kind

I guess no one will ever appreciate it… It all started with my sister grappling with her studies and her CCA. She’s always spending the day before her CCA making phone calls to her squad mates, polishing her boots, bothering about people’s hairnets etc. And my parents are not very pleased with the occurrence of her inability to cope with both, especially when she’s already busy with the immense workload from school. And from that, my mum diverted to me. And she starts going on and on about what the heck am I doing in JJC with my O Level score when I can easily get into ACJC or AJC. Then she starts criticizing my over-involvement in my secondary school CCA just to get 2 bonus points for it, when I have no use for it to enter JC. If that’s all she thinks of a CCA, she’s shallow.

Stone off my chest

Yes, I finally opened my mouth, spat it out and relieved myself of this itch after 2 whole years. Initially I thought that it would be tough to bring up the topic, but I guess I found myself all over again. I can finally study in peace.

He said he felt okay about me (this crazy girl) liking him and all that because it was ‘unavoidable’ and he can’t ‘stop me from feeling this way’, but he’s ‘in no mood to bother about this stuff’… God bless the poor guy…

At least I went to school today, and I guess I was the only one who went to school these few days (other than Steph) to attend lessons. GP lessons evolved to ‘Polar Bear’ (05A06 joke), we spent MTA guessing riddles, we skipped Economics lecture (oops!) and Civics was spent on talking crap. How interesting… And Mr Carl Ng said that I had a ‘lethal tongue’ because I was often passing sarcastic remarks to Aik Leng and my dear classmates. That’s just me, you can’t change it.

Come to school people!

Class attendance for MTA hit a new low of 2 today. Hello, people!!! Come back to school!!! I’m seriously appealing for those who are intending remain in JC to come back for lessons. All you school-skippers have absolutely no idea how much your absence from class upsets the completion of syllabus for the first 3 months. I’m pissed.

NX's correct. I can't let a small matter barge into my life and cause disruption.

As we go on...

Alright, the worst has tided over, and I’m back on a fresh note to start my life going. Hope that everyone is happy with their results, and don’t be faint-hearted if your results aren’t up to what you’d expected them to be. Hey, perhaps God is keeping something better for you. You’ll never know.

In no time, people will be moving in and out of my life as quickly as you say ‘yahoo!’, and the sure thing’s that I’m really going to miss those moving on else where and will welcome those moving into my life with arms wide open. I guess life goes on for everyone else, no matter who and where you are, so it’s no use hanging on to what is no longer right in front of you. To all those moving on to other educational institutions, wish you all the best in your future endeavors and remember that I’ll always be here for a hug and fun if you need to take a breather from school. And to all those who will be sticking to the same JC as me, WELCOME TO MY LIFE!!!

With hands we welcome, like we bid a farewell, to the shadows cast in the path of our sun. This pact of friendship will live by us, as we step out into the unforeseen, to carry us on.
