there's smth wrong with blogger. hm. oh well. i hope this entry shows. if it doesn't and is published much later, you know why.

been a week since i last blogged! its becoming routine. hahaa.. bad. but no time to blog everyday or more frequently for that matter.

last sunday! went out for coffee and a movie at vivo. love and honour really deserved the 5 stars they got! there isn't much plot. in fact the whole story is very simply summarised in a few lines on the gv page. but the way they did it was really impressive. the flow was there, the set, the acting, everything! hahaa.. touching indeed. sometimes you never realise how much you've lost until you've lost them. dun wait till then. you dun always have a second chance. you dun always get back what you have lost. if you do, you're really blessed.. then went outside to escape from the cold. haha.. spent some time talking. it is a nice place. =P

my busy week didn't turn out far too busy in the end! cos while i was still fretting over my schedule while we had pw meeting on monday, ching ching offered to buy my harmoc second hand from me! i was super happy! sold it for 100, 30 less than original but 30 dollars for freedom is like the best bargain ever. not that i dun like harmoc, but its not my priority right now. i'd rather put my time and energy to other stuff. perhaps with lesser commitments in future i might pick it up again!

things happened in class over the week. makes me feel so blessed to have the pw group i'm in. hopefully things straighten out for the rest of them!

i ponned lecture for the second time! hahaa.. this time quite exciting. half of our class just decided to pon math lecture. not that it would make much of a difference if we were there anyway. then we stoned at class bench. and then like the previous time i ponned, ms yang came down for food!! we saw her walking towards the class benches then we were just scrammed! hid behind the pillar next to our class bench while she approached someone at another class bench. we were waiting for her to hurry leave but she continued talking for quite a while. so we decided to run across to the other wing. and so we did. not before telling those at the canteen to siam away in case she goes to the canteen and spots them though. then stoned till tutorials. getting quite disillusioned with the system. i wonder if its the school or just how jcs are like. oh well.

attended the overseas education seminar. one and only one conclusion. i will never be going overseas to study. if i do, my parents probably would have to sell the car the house and all thats under their name. >< not that i really want to go overseas to study. i suppose it would be interesting. but its sad to leave all the people you know for months to go abroad and be a stranger there.

what did i do today? collect newspaper! haha.. yea. only did half a block. but its interesting. and very profitable! haha.. next time you need extra income, just go collect newspaper. =P

small group was very interesting today. we worked on the famous daniel and the lions' den story. but gained quite a few new insights. its easy to read bout pple who succeed both in the world and with God, pple who find the courage to stand up for what they belief in despite knowing the terrible consequences. but how many of us can do it? can you balance school work, relationships, your ministry and spiritual growth? i think its difficult. very. and then there was the other question on how we make decisions. do you make it on gut feeling? instincts? conscience? principles? is it possible to always think something out logically? i dun think so. there are so many things we cannot make sense of. in that case, i'd rather make my choices based on what i believe is right. haha..

i haven't been blogging! oops. >< been busy busy! but when have not been busy? hm. i think even if i had free time i would find stuff to occupy those free slots. then when the last minute stuff come in, i'll end up having to find some slot in my schedule to squeeze them in. oh well. at least i learnt something from taking up 3 ccas, at a great opportunity cost though. i probably would have to give up something eventually. its just a matter of time. i think about serving at faithacts, sl projects and h3 subjects (hopefully), and i know i've gotten myself a messy situation. i will survive! i will find a way. God help me. haha.. a fullfilling and exciting jc life? i seriously hope so!

the past few weeks has been mostly tests. scraped a b for physics this time. pulled my avg down. but without the help on forces i think i would have done a lot worse. haha.. thanks! =P had the first few meetings for chinese society and hui qing. we're painting a 6x8 banner in 3 weeks. you know what i'll be doing in school the next few weeks. >< plus a few deco stuff here and there. oh yah! the past few weeks revolved around PI too! drafts and editing and research and desperate measures in reducing word count. haha.. everyone was just stoned yesterday cos most of us stayed up to edit the PI for the last time before we handed it in to moe on friday. at least there's no more PI to work on anymore! was getting really sick of looking at it.

i ponned lectures for the first time 2 weeks ago! hahaa.. we were at class bench then our ct came down to get food and spotted us. she usually doesn't come down for food in the morning! but she let us off pretty easily! hahaa.. i suppose you can't say we were lucky but its not like we were very down on luck either. or maybe she already expected us to pon something sooner or later.

and after ponning once, it becomes easier-mentally, to just pon again. hahaa.. i didn't go for combined sports meet on labour day eve. got a parents' letter and then on wednesday, guan sen and i went up to ms yang , presented our letters and told her, 'ms yang, both of us fell sick on the same day'. super funny. she obviously understood but didn't say anything. some people dun like her, but actually i find her okay. she might be a little strict on noise level and all, but all she expects is that we take away something from her lessons. not too much to expect from a teacher i would think. plus she's pretty understanding. flexible yet firm. i think she does make a gd ct!

i passed my first graded gp essay! although only 28/50, passed by a few pathetic marks, but it feels shuang. haha.. i never expected to pass in the first place. i need to expand my vocab!

labour day morning was spent study chem, then went out to town to walk ard. define fragile accessories. those with crystals and are mostly thin metal and and i dunno what. haha.. we'll see.. =P

and then we went for the monthly rv alumni gathering at settler's cafe just this afternoon. its the first sat of every month at the settler's cafe outlet at clarke quay from 2pm-5pm. free flow of snacks and drinks and board games. played game of life and taboo. before i went there i was determined to go home after 5. but after the games, quite high. haha.. so went with them to cine at orchard, supposedly to watch a movie other than spiderman but there was nth to watch. k box was super ex and we couldn't play pool because of uniform. so we went home. how exciting. hahaa.. but nvm. we had an interesting afternoon!

yep. that's about all. haha.. i shall post again. hopefully soon. next week very busy though. or should i say the subsequent weeks till school closes are gonna be rather packed. ><
