I'm doing my PW on the topic Groundbreakers now but I haven't found a suitable protagonist for my Preliminary Ideas paper yet. I got bored halfway and I searched 30th April on Wikipedia. Anybody who doesn't know what special day that is, ask me. LOL. =p
The Stuff That Took Place On 30th April In History
1993 - During a
tennis match between #1 female tennis player
Monica Seleš and
Magdalena Maleeva,
Günter Parche plunged a steak knife between Seleš's shoulderblades. Seleš did not return to competitive tennis for over two years.
Lol talk about obsessive fanboying. He stabbed her opponent! >.<
1651 - Birth of
Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, French educational reformer, Catholic saint (d.
1719)
YAY FOR JEAN-BAPTISTE. He's a good man. Hahaha. I first heard about him when I got into CJC. XD I want to be like him!
1982 - Birth of
Kirsten Dunst, American actress
I'm not exactly a fan but I like her. She's pretty! lol.
Can you believe it, I'm going to have a LECTURE later for PE! I can just imagine the PE teacher going, "Now, if you bend your knees this way or flex your arms that way, I'm sure all of you will get a Gold for your NAPFAs. I know you can't practise what I told you now but just remember okay?" zzz. I can so anticipate it lar.
Really interesting to know that a certain someone goes for HIV screening every 3 months. hahaha.

Ahh what do you call blogging for the sake of blogging? Utter boredom.
School's over yet I'm still at the campus waiting for a choir workshop to begin. So there you have it, I'm spamming time blogging for awhile.
Just wanted to air some thoughts that have been troubling me for quite some time. You all know the phrase, "Friends Forever"? Or for girls they have the term "bff". I can't help but wonder; Exactly how long can a friendship last? Sooner or later these friends will get tired of each other and the distance between them expands.
Well for me the situation is like this: I seldom get to meet my friends anymore due to my busy schedule. Even though I had agreed to meet a group of them once a month, I think I don't have the time to. Furthermore, I can't talk to them as easily as I used to. So, even if we meet, I don't think we'll have as much fun together as we had in the past. The undeniable fact is that I still miss them yet, I know the bonds we shared can never be revived again.
I used to place a premium on friendships. My mum said the primary reason why I did badly for my O levels was my friends. It hurt me very badly to hear her say that but looking back now, maybe that was true.
Those whom I treasure have all gone their own paths. I know I shouldn't continue to bug them with questions like "How's your life so far?" and such. It's all pointless anyway; So what if I knew how they were doing? I'll just feel happy for them but yet be overwhelmed by the sadness that I'm unable to share the happiness with them.
Guess I'll just have to take things (friends) as they come and go. Hope to see you this Friday though. You know who you are! Lol.
Ahh siann. I miss the extra weight on my head. lol. Only those who have seen me recently will know this. XD

"The Promise"
[Originally by When In Rome]
If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.
And when you're in doubt,
and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout,
it's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will.
This song is so unlike Anberlin but I really love this song. It's very retro and the lyrics! they mean so much.
There's more to living than being alive.

Yay it's mother tongue lesson now; that means break for me! =D
So here I am in the library blogging for awhile before going to do some much needed revision for maths. With a lousy B3 for Amaths and A2 for Maths, I bet people will laugh if I told them I wanted to aim for H3 maths. But I'm gonna try anyway!
SAJC's annual Life concert is coming up and I decided to go for it instead of Con Fuoco, CJC band's annual concert. Really sorry Rishi. hahaha. I promise I'll go for next year's concert!
I'm going to the concert with Andrina and Constance. Haven't met up with them for some time so I thought this will be a great chance for us to catch up. I'll be going in my CJC uniform and they'll be going in NYJC uniform (I think).
To Constance and Andrina: Should any of you be reading this, do remember to tell me what you're wearing there.
============================================================
Anyway here's a little more about my current life in CJC.
I think Nicholas from the choir looks horribly like someone I know. Physique, height, looks, everything. It freaks me out a little cuz I'm really uncomfortable with the fact that I don't know him as well as his lookalike. I miss his lookalike so much.
And a certain someone in class! He looks a lot like someone I like. Grrrr. Totally, totally irritating. hahaha. Personality wise, they're very alike too! All the more freaky. And sad. Sigh. Eh the reason why I didn't write his name is pretty obvious right? lol. No scandals please!
I really ought to quit writing essays for blogposts. -.-

Okay, I have 10 minutes left to blog.
Well I got into 1T30! Praise the Lord for that. =) Really really happy to be there. BUT now I've got a rather pressing problem: HOW THE HELL DO I STUDY DURING BREAKS. Grr, I'm too lazy to go down to the library to study but yet the classroom's too distracting with all the flashing poker cards. Sigh. And it usually boils down to the case of "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".
I NEED DETERMINATION. =(
And to a certain person out there. I was really happy to be in the same class as you but on hindsight, maybe it wasn't a good thing. Perhaps we've known each other for too long and well, familiarity breeds contempt. Is it me or are you nice to everyone but me? I want us to have a good JC year together yeah. I will attempt to be nicer but could you please do the same? Your words can really cut me sometimes.
Haha funny how my Dad warned me just now. "If you ever get a boyfriend in JC, I will so absolutely kill you." Okay I get the message. XD
Time for Maths~!! Sch-weet.

Yay I'm finally done with my sewing.
Don't get me wrong. I do not enjoy sewing but I'm filled with a sense of achievement now that I've managed to sew up my ladybug bear. (It's a bear in a ladybug suit) It had a hole in its butt due to me mistreating it (hahaha oh yeah right) but now it looks as good as new! I'll love it even more now since it has my personal mark on it.
My week has been rather busy considering that it's supposed to be the March holidays. I had choir practices EVERYDAY from Monday to Friday. Damn cool right? It's damn tiring.
Furthermore, G12 conference is from Thursday night to Sunday. I had to rush from school to church. The conference was inspiring and I really learned a lot from the pastors. However, I fell asleep during one of the sessions yesterday cuz I was dead beat. I'm at home blogging now only because I felt I needed more rest. Shall get the notes from Joey later.
Monday's coming up! I do hope I'll get a place in 1T30. I'll be very happy if that happens but even if it doesn't, I can always make new friends. May God give me strength!
And oh yar. Mummy finally altered my skirt's length after much persuasion. ^ ^
Alright I shall go catch up on more sleep now before heading to church later. See you all CJC friends on Monday! =)

Just when I start to psycho myself that staying in YJC wasn't that bad after all, CJC calls.
So yeah, you all know where I am now. =) Thanks be the God always! haha. grr me of little faith, it's time to start mugging for the A's.
But before that, I still have choir practice coming up. zzz. The sectional leaders are fast in receiving news like these.
Hope I get into 1T30 or 1T28! And I do hope Alicia's appeal will get through too. =)

I want to hear WELL DONE again.
I want to see Dominic being all AL.
I want to know who Darren likes. (hahahahha)
I want to see Rishi getting people to pon Mother Tongue lessons to play cards.
I want to laugh with Germaine and Milu cuz they're just so funny.
I want to crap around with Elton, Jonathan, Lee Xian, Eirene, Alicia and Yahui.
I want to be in 1T24 again.
Mehh I shouldn't live in the past I know. After much consideration, I'm staying in YJC for sure. Wish me luck people. ^ ^

I've been rather depressed of late, losing my appetite for food and studies, staying at home to sleep more than usual.
I'm sorry for being so emo yesterday. haha. The pool session was good since I could forget about my current situation and just have fun. The only bad thing about yesterday was that my sister gave me away and thus I got reprimanded by my parents for going to play pool with you. zzz.
I know there's a silver lining to every dark cloud so here are the advantages of staying in YJC for me.
1. It's only 30 minutes away from my house so I can wake up at 6.30am and still be on time. More sleep! yay.
2. My classroom has air-conditioning.
3. I'm allowed to take 4H2 subjects.
4. The choir practices aren't as demanding as that of SAJC's. Plus it's highly probable that I'll be able to get a leadership position there.
5. More time to study since it's near my house!
But here are the disadvantages. =(
1. The building is old, old, old.
2. They actually have school rules about the dressing of the students! eg. I must tuck in my PE shirt during PE. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
3. I must have at least 95% attendance to be promoted to j2! And it's freaking scary since they don't care if you have an MC for the day that you're absent, CUZ YOU'RE STILL ABSENT.
4. Even if you fail your promos by 0.5%, THEY'LL STILL RETAIN YOU. wth.
5. The choir sucks.
6. The people there speak more Chinese than English.
I'm more or less resigned to staying in YJC already. Shall learn to look on the bright side of life! =(

I GOT POSTED TO YISHUN JUNIOR COLLEGE.
I remained pretty cool as I read the posting aloud while accessing the website. Daddy was laughing since he had a premonition that something like this would happen. The rest of my day yesterday was spent traveling all over Singapore appealing to SAJC and CJC even though I felt terrible.
During the hours I spent traveling, I pondered over my stupid mistake. Ever heard the story of the boy who put his hand into a jar full of sweets? He grabbed too many sweets and thus was unable to pull his hand out of the jar but yet he refused to release the many sweets he had in his hand.
In some ways, I'm like that boy. I was foolish to put SAJC as my first choice since I already knew I had missed it by one point. By placing CJC as my second choice on my list, I effectively lost the 2 loyalty points I had, making me miss CJC by one point too.
Why oh why didn't I put CJC as my first choice? I was just too greedy and stupid to grab something I know I cannot obtain.
Today I went to YJC for their orientation and all I have to say is this: I hate it.
NEWSFLASH: SAJC JUST CALLED ME TO GO DOWN FOR AN AUDITION. =D
Now I'm too happy to blog. hahaha. Going to spam honey and hope I don't screw the auditions up this time!
Ciao. =)

Yay I finally re-installed the program which allows me to upload photos from my handphone into the computer! =D
So here are some photos.

1T24's house. =)

Sara and me! I had face paint on later so I shall not show the picture of myself then. heh.

I'm really sorry but I just had to show this picture. Both of you have been such good friends to me so for this reason I hope you both never see this picture posted here on my blog. XD

Lunch at Subway's! I love times like these when we can sit, talk and eat. Nice fellowship.

Taken last Friday when most of us were wearing out full secondary school uniform.

This photo has earned me many remarks that I'm getting more and more lian but that wasn't my intention when I took the photo. I had no idea why I took a picture of myself looking like that but all I wanted to show you all was how ugly the tie looked with my uniform. -.-

Hoho scandalous! Dom trying to scare off the photographer with his own camera cuz he's with Lee Xian! XD

I'm sandwiched between 2 As. hahaha. Alicia and Amanda!

Lastly, some of us from 1T24. I'll miss you guys loads but I have a strong feeling most of us will stay together in CJC as a class. XD
I have other more scandalous pictures but I'll save them for another entry. haha. All the best for the postings tomorrow! =)

Posting in 2 days!
Like what Rishi said, I'm convinced I'll return to CJC now. I mean, unless by some really big miracle I get into SAJC, CJC is where I'll land up at. And well, I don't think I really resent the fact that I'm gonna be there anymore. As long as I study and don't play too much, things will go okay right? No more honeymoon for me. =(
The past 2 weekdays were very cool. Subway on Thursday and lunch, pool, dinner and arcade on Friday. A little too many outings all at once but still... it's all going to end soon anyway, might as well have more of it first.
I feel quite terrible somehow for not talking to you. I don't think you read my blog anymore (right?) so here's the lowdown on how I feel. I'll never forget the time that I had my head resting against your shoulder on the train; leaning against you while ordering macs; talking till the wee hours of the night in the park and getting scolded for it. I don't know how to talk to you anymore. Since we almost don't have anything in common anymore. And damn you just logged in so I feel way worse now. haha. Shall make it a point to disturb you once in a while.
Life has been so busy and I really wonder how my thoughts keep wandering to a certain person I know. Thus I shall ask this rhetorical question: Is this love? I don't know anymore. Seems really impossible somehow. Shall concentrate on more thought-worthy stuff instead of crazy things like these.
And should anybody from SASS chance by here from the nexus gang (haha SOS brigade!), please tell me when you all are free next week okay? I'm trying to organise an outing! Keep me posted yeah? =)
P.S - CONGRATS TO WILSON ON HIS WALLET. =D
