Graduation 2007

2007-10-14T23:04:00.000+08:00

ah. graduation day on the 12 oct.

filled with lots of emotions. but, i just cant help it. sometimes, i really don't wish that graduation won't come so early.. haha. not that i really miss the sch very much, but i miss the feeling of going to school, waking up early and stuffs. sigh.

i really appreciate what the class have done, the powerpoint slides and the gifts and cards. not forgetting ms chan's stress relief package. and not forgetting the 3306 pagent. it has really been a tough 2 years, challenging in a way. there are ups and downs during the journey.. but i thank everyone for being there for me when i really need it. and also a great theanks to everyone in 3306 and ajco. you guys rock my life. i really can't help it. at times, i would just wonder if things would be different if i weren't in aj (i know it's no point talking about it now, esp if you are going to sit for a levels soon). it will forever be something that i will think of when i look back at jc life. it's just you gain some, you lose some. regrets i suppose?

i really appreciate the teachers effort in teaching me. i've met nice teachers who have helped me along the way, giving me encouragements and guidance.

when i look back at the photos, i just felt a sense of regret. i know i could have done more to make it better, but i didn't. sometimes, things just don't really turn out the way you expect it. so, yea..

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2007-01-03T21:03:00.000+08:00

so, gotta think of new year resolutions. shall think through it. meanwhile, i hope that 2007 would be a better year, for me and for you. yes it will be. one year is really pretty short =D

Merry Christmas!

2006-12-25T23:01:00.000+08:00

ho ho ho. MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!! hehe.
oh yes, sometimes small little things really do bring up my mood. haha. i'm really quite touched when one of my friend just called just to tell me that he received my card. nothing too great but maybe the appreciation showed. =D

it's 2 more days and i'm afraid. maybe the results mean more to me, that's why i'm afraid. bah. but i'll do my best to make it. cause i've been inspired by someone to work really really hard, so no worries. =D

2006-12-22T12:35:00.000+08:00

these few days kinda rush for me. lots of things to be done. plus school reopening, finish up homework and studying for test. sigh. jc life is like that i suppose. but after last week, i found a new goal for me to work towards to. ha.

the year is ending soon. i guess the trip to pulau ubin 5 days OBS camp really round up 2006 very neatly. and now it's time for me to set a new goal for 2007. kinda worried about next year but i believe it'll soon be over =)

OBS!!

2006-12-16T14:16:00.000+08:00

ok, stop wondering where i am. i went for OBS 5D4N at pulau ubin AGAIN. it was my 2nd time there and ended up at camp 2 again. hah. the camp turned out fun and all i could say is that i've really enjoyed myself very much. activities was almost the same, except some difference from the 1st time i went. the experience and my feelings was totally diff.

day 1:
reported and made some new friends. and i'm in LIVINGSTONE! instructor was tracy and she's friendly. and cause she's having her assessment, there is a shadower beside her. ok, actually me and wenjia in the grp was the only people that went there the 2nd time. had ice breakers and stuffs. then went kayaking. ha, had to capsize but i was afraid. finally managed to do it! then was supposed to do t-x rescue but it rained (totally spoil our mood). then did some ice-breaker games which bonded our group together. learned how to pitch tent. the tent was totally different from the one i used to pitch. this tent was much challenging and difficult to pitch but we managed to do it as a grp. dinner was ok then had debrief. and we started packing for hiking on day 2.

day 2:
the morning was quite noisy as most of them didn't slp. we found it quite hard to slp too as the tent was also smaller. and we hiked to camp 1. did trust fall and belaying school. lunch was obviously the best. then we did the tower of power. we had to do it in pairs and there are 2 element, the outer one and the inner one. me and wenjia did the outer one which is much more difficult and scary. the people who did the inner one came down twice already and we were still stuck right up there. but we managed to help one another up slowly. then when we finally almost reached the top, it started to rain so we gotta come down and move indoors. the rest continued to do their elements indoor. we managed to swop with another group as we both finished quite early. dinner wasn't as nice as lunch. ha. then the instructors brief us on our land ex on wed. had quite a cosy night as the tent was much bigger and we changed our position sleeping!

day 3:
went for morning hike early in the morning. we got a checkpoint which is high up in the mountains and we gotta climb up high, considering that it was raining the day before. we did quite alot of short cuts into the forest and stuffs. and the poor instructors gotta climb with us. ha. but our grp did quite well as we managed to get 4 check points out of 5. the last check point we didn't managed to go is due to the lack of time. hiked to the query and it started raining, so took out our poncho. stopped at the temple there and when the rain stopped we proceeded on. was supposed to built a raft but when we got our stuffs out, it started raining again so we gotta seek shelter. finally when it all said cleared, we continued. but not long after, it rained again and we gotta keep the stuffs and hike back to the temple. stayed there for quite long. the instructors found out that most of us do not have dry clothes and that was when they decided that we should hike back to camp 2. it was a previllage as we get to bathe but we carried our mess tins and canned food for nothing!

day 4:
had our sea ex today around pulau ubin. with 3 other watches. my 1st partner was desmond. first we did our t-x rescue and then the sea ex started. it started off quite well except that we wasn't really serious at first. then me and desmond became lagging behind where we met herry the sweeper. but we still managed to catch up. our destination was the point where we were going to have our lunch. then the winds started blowing too strong together with the waves, me and desmond started to move in zig zag directions horizontally and i felt sea sick. and when the storm finally struck us, we were stranded out in the open sea where the rest of them was almost near the shore. we struggled and panic. at that point of time, i felt so useless. then the instructor's speedboat came to rescue us. they brought us safety to the shore and calm me down. at the resting point, we was supposed to have lunch but my group didn't get our food. it was all mixed up. before we set off, i really got a big headache. swop partners and i go with xiang quan. for the 2nd half of the journey, i was really unwell. big headache and i vomitted. everyone was so nice and concern to give me oranges (which was supposed to cure sea sick but had no impact on me). in fact, the oranges made me feel worse that i vomitted out everything. the instructors insist that i finished up my bottle of water but in the end, it all went to the sea as well. but i managed to kayak a little. xiang quan did most of the job. we talked and peservered and we finally saw camp 2 again! was feeling quite happy and we decided not to give up. finally we reached the shore, a total of 18km round island. ha. then clean up and stuffs. wash the kayak and put it up. at night i felt really drowsy as if i'm still on the sea with my small little kayak. ha. had a peaceful slp that day though being scolded. and i had sun burns!

day 5:
our last day. woke up early at 5 to clean up our stores and stuffs. then pack everything into our bags. did the commitment activity but i didn't managed to ring the bell. bought a shirt as they changed their logo already! then it was time for us to leave. and as we were leaving, we saw a jelly fish. first time seeing a jellyfish sia and the instructor say i sua-ku. haha. and on the boat, i felt drowsy again. our 5 day course just ended like that. i will surely miss my watch mates. ha. and of cause other friends whom i made. but we did exchange contacts. and i had a hard time scrubing my clothes and shoes. they are freaking stinky and dirty.

well, through this camp i managed to learn alot of new things as compared to the first time i went. the mood is totally different. and it was a totally new experience for me too, except for some which are the same. and i learnt not to under extimate my abilities. ha. i managed to kayak 18km around pulau ubin! and climb the tower of power! and of cause i made new friends and the instructors were so friendly. was glad that tracy passed her assessment. and yes, i'm going to take up some sports. ha. if i ever go OBS again, it would be for the 9 day course or the 21 day course. no more 5 day course! haha. and now it's time for me to set my goals for studies. i'll do it. actually there is one instructor who have made a big impact on me this time round. thank you.

i'm off

2006-12-09T23:21:00.000+08:00

it's kinda irritating to get your parents nagging at your ears everyday.. sometimes, i just don't understand why they keep nagging at your room when it's YOUR own room. bah. i suppose that's called generation gap..

anyway, i'm done with my room. obviously there are litters here and there [and this is what they claim it's undone] and done with the cards and letters. it's time to study i suppose. i've also finished watching triumph in the skies on youtube. with a little cut off here and there. but i'll still watch them on tv when i come back and the recordings of cuz. hehe.

oh ya, just a question to ask.
do i really look very fierce when i don't smile?

and so, i'll be off for a week.
people, don't miss me.. :)

short update

2006-12-06T21:05:00.000+08:00

well, life could be pretty boring at times. sometimes, i really wonder if i'm the material cut out for the JC system? or perhaps, i just lack the motivation to start. well, i guess i must be the 2nd type. it's only about 3 weeks left to sch reopen. can anyone tell me how to get my heart back to the books? bah. many activities to be done and it's stll undone. i should buck up on my speed already.

my room is now more or less done up. with some litter here and there. or perhaps, i should just dump everything in the rubbish bin. sometimes, i do really find it a chore to keep everything and every memories. it will be good to let it go so that new memories can enter yea (:

christmas is coming once again. yeah!! i want presents! hohoho.
can't wait for 2007 to come. it will be a better year i know.

CO camp

2006-11-29T18:42:00.000+08:00

haha. it was fun! actually ok only. the fun part is that i gotta know more CO people and also know them better.
went for self study first before camp. it's a hiong training camp where you see practices and more practices on the list. got my set piece song. was really sorry to not attend CO for the whole of last week! the instructor came and started on it.

oh, played captain's ball. haha. it was a exciting game where every group wants to score. and the winner had a 3 to 3 match? haha. then pass the parcel, where steven is out to sabo many people. but it's really quite fun to see everyone enjoying this game. after dinner cum bathing was dazu. sigh. managed to learn a little of bridge. sigh i'm so stupid! hahas. maze game at night, where you blindfold yourself and they take you for a walk. lame though. but was quite fun. our group got the shortest route :(

oh we played taboo which was shiok. our group alliance with one another. so we roughly know the word on our forehead. hahas. some people and some words was quite funny though. the part where steven called out ruoyi's name was damn funny cause he thought it was some other actions. and also the part where they put on his head saying that he's not allowed to talk!

bedtime. actually din't intend to slp but due to some miscommunication! and the exco wanted us to slp too. so we thought that steven had slept [due to no reply msg and no ans phone] plus the room was dark. and we went to slp. the next day, we then realised that steven waited till like 2 plus??? hahah. phone lag yea.

the next day hike up to lower pierce resorvior and breakfast there. short dist and the teachers walked with us! had quite alot of interaction throughout the whole journey. and i realised that some people i actually seen them before 2 or 3 years ago! took bus back. went for self study a while [which i actually slp] and dazu! the set piece was actually quite nice. :) but i guess we gotta buck up on it.

anyway, many thanks to the exco for organising this camp. we really appreciate it.
today was nigel's last day. was quite saddening though i don't know him very well.
so we've got a new chairman and vice. sigh. both our chair and vice chair left. :(
well, we still gotta work hard towards our goal. JIAYOU!

no title

2006-11-27T23:35:00.000+08:00

self study can be pretty boring. ding and wenzhao will be leaving for Thailand in a few hours time.
BON VOYAGE :D
till next year we meet again.

sometimes studying can really get you down. bleah. went parkway with laykuan today. wanted pardiz center but it rained. haha. went to buy stuffs. it's been a long time since i entered parkway. don't wonder why parkway. hahas. cause i got some vouchers to finish it off but i couldn't make up my mind on what to get. it took quite a long time for me to decide.

yeah, christmas is coming and it's the time for giving too :)
yes, you've got it. i want presents!
and it's really tiring to send off cards. but iLOVINGit.

sigh. forgot CO camp is tmr. haven pack yet. no packing list or consent form.
no mood to go. sigh.

Service Learning

2006-11-25T15:13:00.000+08:00

woots~ our SL finally ended. well, all i can say is that i really learnt alot from this camp. be it from myself, the children or my fellow classmates. i know some of my friends really dislike children. and this camp made it worst. but i actually feel that they are still quite young and innocent.

day 1:
our long awaited day. met at 730 outside audi to prepare. time wasn't moving the way we want it to. soon, we saw many unknown children arriving [due to miscommunication from CDAC]. then at 9, the children arrived. first it was tough to get them to settle down in their groups. oh yea, i'm in SAPPHIRE. took attendance and gave out identities. started off with some ice-breaker games. and we realised that they do not really like to mix. and they were extremely quiet. station games after that was quite ok. lunch was horrible. cause the children did not finish their food! making them do performance is already tiring. teaching of friendship dance was worst. to them, boys and girls holding hands = some relationship! hahahs. they was actually reluctant to dance [though they know the steps] cause of the holding hands part! had some other games. guess they really enjoyed ball games even more! and SAPPHIRE ppl cannot really sit properly.

day 2:
as compared to the first day, today was MUCH better. they were much cooperative and bonded. though still quite noisy. play island in the morning and we found out that they liked island the best. the lunch was much better as in they finished their food! yay! teaching of borriquito today. it's really really fun seeing the children dance. with their cute actions. and some of them actually enjoyed dancing! but it's a little tiring, though they enjoy island and you see them playing and playing. my group got one girl keep having nose bleed until hang was scared of her! haha.

day 3:
island in the morning again! but at least it gave us time to finish up our cards and gifts. hehe. today was a pretty short day. and it rained. then rehearse for performance where me guowei and peiqi was doing up the video. it was quite nice! then the actual performance. was suprised that they actually can do last min performance which is good :) and soon it was time to leave. was quite reluctant but all things got to come to a end. but we did leave our contact with them yea!

well, this SL was indeed a learning journey for me. though there were ups and downs.
2 main lessons for me was to be more patient and never promise anything if you cannot fulfill them.
had debrief and exchanging of presents. guess we do enjoy it very much. exchanging of presents went in one big circle! and i would like to thank NAS for the very cute bear. i love it very much. and james for the christmas present. thought you were just kidding yea! and guowei, hope you like it. sorry that you actually folded your own stars. but it wasn't that much! hehe.

went for class dinner at secret recipe. the food damn shiok. thank you miss chan for paying! was quite touched yea. desert at swensens. played guess the no. cum truth or dare. it was damn funny at the kelvin and laykuan part. anyway, thanks 3306 for doing such a great job. really enjoyed it. and i don't mind doing it again :D

SL prep

2006-11-21T22:02:00.000+08:00

had been preparing for our SL tmr for the past few days. well, can i say that it's sort of boring. but the good thing is that can at least skip half of the study session [which i don't know if it's good or bad].

wasn't feeling in the mood to prepare on the first day. probably cause my mind wasn't really on it but was on something else. it got me so worried that i even skip CO practice that day. makes me feel that i'm a bad girl yeah.

guess it went pretty well on the second day. just that some of them din't know that the time was changed to 11 instead and they came at 9! hahas. slacked around at the study area before strolling my feet to nexus. guess we were pretty much productive today. and we got our class tee. the supplier didn't really do a good job. the shirt was too dirty too. sigh. and before the tee shirt came, me laykuan and guowei went to AMK central to buy stuffs needed for SL. was quite rush though. and i brought stuffs for christmas exchange too. been too broke lately. after that we tried out the dance and the games. ISLAND is a fun game. it keeps us going.

well, tmr is the actual day. hope the children are nice :)

33/06 BBQ

2006-11-14T20:41:00.000+08:00

woots~ had our first ever successful 3306 BBQ YESTERDAY. it was quite successful considering the fact that we finished up most of the food except for some crabmeat etc. and everyone turned up for the BBQ except guowei and wulin. i guessed everyone had fun, either BBq-ing or playing. :)

actually met up with ding, wenzhao, huijie and kelvin at parkway to help buy food and everything. then went east coast. we were considered quite early. soon the rest arrived and we start up the fire and tada~ we start to bbq. the bbq food was nice and so was the ppl bbq-ing :D

then went to the breakwaters to find laykuan, yujia and ding. i could say we just had fun. managed to interact with the class ppl quite alot. and of course miss chan :) after that we get to pick name for our christmas exchange. well, i actually got someone quite unexpected!!! haha. i think it would be fun. can't wait for christmas exchange and to know who you actually bought present for you.

took bus home with james and yujia. the bus was quite fast, not like what ding and daryl said - the bus ride was long. it wasn't actually long, considered that i reached home in like 50 ++ mins. chatted with james throughout the whole journey. now, i can't wait for SL. :D

ms tay's wedding

2006-11-12T23:53:00.000+08:00

hello. decided to start off a new blog to start everything afresh.

ok, back to the topic.
afternoon, went to Anglican High School All Saints Church to attend ms tay's wedding. was really quite happy to see my buddies, as well as juniors once again. and i witness how strong LOVE can be :)

after the wedding, the guys started consuming helium. and they produced weird sounds =/ hahas. was actually quite fun :) then went marina square with yiqing and joel. we passed by this exhibition where there's phones on display. so we went to play with it. OMG. N73 is damn cool can. we keep taking photos with that phone until the person came and told us that the phones were meant to view videos. and it's like damn embarassing!

went mac for dinner + chatting. missed the days in CCHMS. and the days in CO. SYF days etc. well, life gotta move on yea. can't wait for class bbq tmr. it would be fun. definitely :D
