A packed week
Friday, February 29, 2008 9:57 PM
I screwed Pre-U seminar interview up. Argh, Ms Thangam sent me there to embarrassed myself. I didn't read newspaper for more than a year now, so I had totally no idea what to say and neither did I know what the hell the other interviewees were talking about. Haha, I'm really terrible.

Ran from TJ up the slope near Lucky Heights and back twice this week. Didn't think I would survive, but amazingly, I did. Haha.

After everything ended today, strolled all the way to ECP to meet my family for dinner. I like strolling while listening to music, kinda make you forget how tired you are or how long the road is. And then, you start thinking of alot of things. Mostly good ones. When 曹格 's 世界唯一的你 came on, I was reminded of someone. Haha. Probably because this particular person loved to sing this song.

Alright, I'm tired. Going off to bed. Goodnight!

A day gone wrong
Monday, February 25, 2008 9:01 PM
Everything seemed to be going the wrong way today. Took so darn long in the morning to put on my contacts because the new solution was making my eyes tear like some water tap. Then in school, I don’t know what the hell I stepped on that stank like hell. My new shoes!!! ㅠㅠ Darn. I still think they stink despite my Mum washing them for me. I think I’m going to spray a lot of perfumes and deodorants on the soles of the shoes. So tomorrow, if you smell some really strong scent when I walk past, you know why. XP

And then, I had painful blisters each at the back of my feet and I had to use plasters which wouldn’t stay for long. Had to change the plasters twice. Some blood from my blisters got stained onto the insides of my shoes. Rarhhh.

Even my cheesy nachos at GMS didn’t wait for me. I wanted to eat the super nice yet cheap($1 only) nachos, but the stall was closed after the C Girls finals ended. -.-

The only things good that happened today were that DHS didn’t have their way, Champions for AHS Table Tennis B Girls(Congratulations! ^^), and eating at 85 market with Zhiying and Hweeli. ‘Ou jian’ at 85 with the girls is love. For a moment, I felt that we were all back to old times. ^^

The lecturer showed us animal pornography during Biology lecture today. Haha. XP Seriously, I don’t see how that video is relevant to meiosis.

Anyway, photos:

Went to Kallang Leisure Park with family yesterday night. We kinda went on a nike shopping spree and bought three pairs of nikes. Got myself a pair of Nike Women's Dunk Lows for school.

Yeah, it kinda matches my bag. And most importantly, it's white-based. I insist on buying white-based dunks because I think it's the more appropriate for school. I don't want to go to school in dunks with weird colour combinations and looking like I'm ready to go to the skate park or something. And there's a faint rose mortif near the back of the shoe, which is total <3!

My Dad and I saw this shop selling Nike Bauer Ice Hockey skates. Hot stuffs! Adding it to my wishlist. Haha.

Another pair of shoes on my wishlist will be Nike Shox Deliver Women's Running Shoes.

Haha. My current Nike Shox is like CMI already. Hopefully, my Mum would get it for me. *Crosses fingers* Yes, I'm a Nike lover. ^^

Anyway, after our shopping, we had dinner at Pasta Mania. Their Beef Bolognese owns!

Okay, sorry for a random question here but who wanna join the OAC dualthalon with me? Haha.

***
Rachelle told me that AHS Table Tennis B Girls won all the matches and they're Zonals Champs now!!!! WOOHOO!!! You guys rock! C Girls will be in the finals with DHS on Monday. But *%$#^ DHS is like digging out all the rubbish and whatnots. DHS, go fly kite la! XP

Dinner at foodcourt after Mass Dance

Zenith 2 was a blast! Honestly, it was the first time that I've taken up a role as an OGL. A rather huge role, I would say. Because friends who know me since secondary school will know that I'm one of the slackest people in class, in team and in school. I never held any kind of positions, neither did I care if I held any. So I was basically those kind of people who would try to stay out of as many things as possible. Not anymore. The OGLs of Zenith 1 changed my mind. I signed up for OGL, miraculously got through the interviews(even though initially, I wasn't confident if I was the OGL-material) and there I was, one of the OGLs of Erypion OG 2 at Zenith 2.

I had so much fun together with my fellow Erypion OGLs & OGMs during the past 3 days! Believe it or not, even though I was an OGL, there were times when I felt like an OGM, I got to know alot of people, made more new friends and learned how to work well with others. Basically, Zenith 2 was like an orientation to me too.

I'm aware that there were some 1st-intake OGMs who ponned the orientation because they felt that it was boring(because of the talks on first day morning) and there were also some 2nd-intake OGMs did the same because they felt left-out for they don't really know alot of people in TJ. But at the same time, I know that there were others who turned up for all 3 days of the orientation despite them not knowing anyone initially and there were also some who made the efforts to turn up for the Mass Dance @ Suntec even though they didn't turn up on some days of the orientation. Thank you guys, for making the effort to participate in Zenith 2! Without you guys, Zenith 2 would have to be called Nadir 2 instead. Haha

Mass Dance @ Suntec was crazy! Dance, cheer, run and get wet! I ran around the fountain for I-dunno-know-how-many times because I lost count. I think I ran roadrun or something. In the end, I was kind of drenched in the water from the fountain and in perspiration. But the feeling was really great, screaming our heads off while running and doing the high-fives with everyone who stuck out their hands. Then it was back to Erypion area for dance. Then cheered till we go breathless. Those guys like to repeat the 'Who say you say I say' and 'Ecstasy' cheers for like 10 times?!?! Really, it's tiring to holler at the top of your lungs without stopping. And, we didn't care because that was the only time we could do the Ecstasy cheer. Haha. Then we went back to running again. Then dance, cheer, run...

After Mass Dance ended, had OG dinner at the foodcourt. Kept talking to Jana, Jocelyn and Jingwei(wah, all the Js) and I was the last to finish my food. Kimchi Ramen was delicious but spicy. I think my lips went red and swollen. Haha. Then we somehow talked about ezlink cards or something and we started showing one another our ezlink cards with our Primary 6 photos on them. They didn't quite believe the person on my ezlink was me. I took it to be a good thing! Haha. The triangular hairstyle. They asked if I rebonded my hair or something. Nah, I just started to layer my hair alot.

The train ride back was hilarious. We squeezed ourselves into the train even though it was already sardine-packed with people. The netballers (Dashita, Grace and Shing Jiuan) were really hilarious. I will never forget how Dashita introduced herself to us. That's Shit with an A. XP


OG 2, OGLs, Erypion and TJ, thank you for everything. Thanks Shanmin, Jana and Jocelyn for being so enthusiastic in the cheers and everything! Thanks to all the OGMs who made Zenith 2 a success! ^^ Oh yes, OGMs, don't dao us, OGLs, when you guys see us in school! Wave or say hi or whatever! ^^

***

I'm having Post-Zenith Syndrome(PZS) now. Haha. Now that Zenith 2 is over, it's back to hitting the books again! Next week is Lecture Week. Saw the time-table and I only have one thing to say, that is, 'SLACK!' An average of 2 lectures per day only. Haha.

***
I saw that message during lunch yesterday but didn't have the courage to reply it. I didn't know what to reply, I don't know what to say to make you feel better because I know nothing I say now would make you feel better. Even if I did know what to say, I had no confidence that I wouldn't break down in front of everyone while typing out the reply. I didn't want to start to break down and cry, especially not infront of my OG. I've never been the sort who tells people how much I treasure them, but in actual fact, I really do treasure everyone around me. Sometimes, I just feel like slapping myself for sucking at consoling others. All I do is to stand there and watch everything that's unfolding before my eyes, unable to do anything or maybe, it's only me who can't try to at least do something...
