less than a month to A levels.
but how can i concentrate fully on my studies when there are still so many things on my mind and things bothering me if only there is a way to purge myself of all these distractions stressed much as somehow i will need to perform a miracle within these few weeks. alright no use lamenting about all these new. need the precious time to mug and then have enough hours of precious sleep. totally need the energy to get through those drowsy afternoons :/ will do everything in my ability to get what i want. my quest from U to A starts now wish me luck. Everybody's looking for that something |

in a day's time, it will be the 1st of countless tests and exams to come..
when jc2 just started, i kept on telling myself that this year i would have to prove to others and to myself that im definitely capable of more, and not just those shitty results i got last year.. which cost me many opportunities :/ and though i have tried my best to make use of whatever free time i have to study aka turning into a full-fledged mugger, the more disillusioned i become.. that im just studying for the sake of the straight A's and w/o any proper direction or goal. but i guess after looking at the seniors getting their results and all the talk about post jc education and careers, i finally have a goal in mind and i hope i can stay motivated and work towards it (: to focus on my studies, i really need to have minimal distractions, but its only been 3 months into the year and i have been distracted by all sorts of things D: lol sometimes, i feel like im having some kind of mental & emotional debate inside me.. and then i end up crying w/o being able to do anything. this sucks. its like im seeking for it everyday but i dont think i'll ever be able to get it. and im kinda scared abt the future. haiz maybe i should go somewhere to get a peace of mind.. anw these things should be left to after blocks.. not exactly confident for it since i dont think a one week cramming of notes, diagrams, concepts etcetc would work. bleh tho i have had good study sessions in libraries, condos, starbucks/coffeebean, cafes, school.. while i really had a tough time deciding where to go (since studying at home for me is useless) to study the whole day w/o spending too much money.. ----------

after complaining about being stuck at home for quite some time, i finally had a chance to have a proper outing. since the crazy night after artemis fac outing, where we really made our presence felt along the whole of orchard road before settling down to binge on 7 different flavours of ben & jerry's ice cream.
okay so today's initial reason for meeting twex was to buy books from borders to finish up the value in the gift card (haha like i needed any more after buying 8-9 at one go on my last trip here). had a bit of deciding whether he needed self improvement or SAT help or books that taught u that the safest place on the plane is right at the back. ugh had an urge to waste money and got myself some cool lego box thingy. another addition to my already cluttered desk.. and maybe cos hcjc ended earlier than some other jcs, i kept bumping into hc pple, including bio teachers (why come all the way here for lunch when they should be setting our start of j2 bio test?) and also nigel who abandoned his 3 girls to join us at starbucks. then it was twex's bubble tea experiment. tried gong milk tea for the very 1st time. not too awesome just that they spammed loads of pearls. $2.50 bleh. surprise call from yongzhi brought me walking/running a long long way to rjc. shit la alighted at bishan when it should be marymount instead. rjc main gate freaking far, got there in time but all sweaty and smelly. but worth it cos it was really one ticket for 2 shows. one amazing play and another interesting drama. yupp concludes my fulfilling day out. raffles city tmr for some itd work while chicken little is enjoying life in scotland. --------------

FOS was kind of like the perfect way to celebrate the end of promos. all those pent-up feelings in us all being able to be expressed in sports. but probably too much as times..
hmm thought FOS was a festival for us to enjoy the different sports and of cos have alot alot of fun. but some of us really do take the element of competition very seriously, often resulting in outbursts of vulgarities and whatnot lol.. faculty pride is impt but i guess having fun playing sports which we might be playing for the first time is much more impt. frisbee was kinda good, cos we were like the obvious underdogs but somehow we managed to reach the finals.. it was a great experience tho i dont understand why some people would actually tell on others just to get the team disqualified. since they are alrdy playing, let them enjoy the game right? lol even the teacher i/c was so uptight with these competition matters, spoiling the fun of the game and even needing to insult her colleagues? srsly thats damn toot. tho there are teams with sportsmanship that's admirable.. still tired from the full 4 matches, but the day was great, with a afternoon of pool and ending with a nice dinner.. sometimes its just these little things that make u satisfied, as i try hard to stay :D despite other issues.. haha as long as im putting in the effort, its alrdy okay with me.

its great when people share their thoughts or troubles with you. be in personal matters or others. makes me feel that im being trusted to hold on to that secret and not spread it whatsoever. im also glad that i know there are always people i can talk to when im troubled. we should always cherish these people among other important things, cos we'll never want to regret it when we lose what is dear to us.
tmr is the final worksession/rehearsal b4 MAF! im kinda exciting yet worried at the same time. yes finally the day we've been working so hard for is nearing. tmr is when everything will be finalised and all that's left is to look forward to Saturday and of cos pray very very very very hard that it wont rain. (tho weather forecasts predicted otherwise DD:) thats why im worried. hope all hoisting and building etc can go on smoothly (: i finally feel more satisfied now. hope things will stay this way. -------------------- no songs on my mind today.. |

slept in this morning and had quite a few dreams, of which i could only rmb 1 or 2.. i love my dreams cos they usually do not make much sense and is more of jumbled up recollections or scenes. i dont exactly analyze my dreams but i guess someone out there could do the job for me (:
from the part i could rmb, i was sitting in a lecture theatre, those vaguely familiar ones i used to sit in during science fair presentations. and right in front of me was my sister presenting a science research project. and then the next part i could rmb was that i was in another country, i think canada.. i was in the hotel room, a very big hotel room. which had a queen sized bed and a plasma tv.. the room wasnt furnished in a very modern style but more of a homely feeling (kind of like one of the rooms i stayed in while in america during the AOS program). i left the room and entered a huge auditorium like place and the place was some dining area, filled with buffet lines like those in hotels. and then i saw 2 people i knew (one was yongzhi and the other jiaming). weird. i cant rmb the rest, except for one more scene at a supermarket which looked like the Giant supermart. how i love my dreams. so exciting to be able to dream of all sorts of weird things, people and places. k back to reality. |

after a tired week, i finally had my friday and a good one at that. random dancing after school and then a great dinner. took tho i took atrociously long to decide what to eat, it was super cool and fun to buy a variety of stuff without really spending alot. so gonna do that again some time soon.. and OC is a incredibly nice place to sit and talk and not forgetting a nice place for photos. had fun and i finally felt better and i relle hoped it did for u too.
and after the long 8h+ at school today, we finally managed to see the full citygate up. uber uber nice and proud of gaco gosh. was totally a great time to camwhore in front of our amazing work of art (: very tired but satisfying day, finally ending of with a chance to fulfill my ice cream craving (after sherwin shoved a spoonful of cookies and cream icecream in the midst of building) but upon reaching home, my mood was again ruined. just like every other time i came home from outings, council etcetc. explains why i constantly yearn to return back to bs. i just need that support and encouragement. ----------------
