Today was great, as in productive, and fun at the same time. Woke up early to have breakfast with Carol and Orson at Junction 8 Macdonalds, before going to school for geography lecture. The lecture lasted an hour and a half, more than expected. But we stayed back in school after that to study all the way, went for a late lunch, then returned to school for more studying.

We talked a lot too, haha, not just study non-stop. That would seriously be crazy. It's really comfortable to talk to Carol and Orson and just be around them, just like it is with Su Xue and Cal. Like you feel as if you don't have to hide anything, and just pour your heart out to these wonderful people. It's hard to find such confidantés, so I think I must be lucky, and grateful that I have met them. I managed to finish quite a number of Maths questions today, in preparation for the inequalities+graphing techniques test next week.

I haven't talked to Marisol, Trish and the gang for a really long time now. Our schedules seem to clash all the time, plus the time difference. I kinda miss them... just pray that all is going well over in that part of the world.

The last episode of the Korean Drama Honor of Family just screened today on television. I like that drama a lot, because it's one of the few that teaches you morals and values, and is not just made for pure entertainment value. Some parts of the show opened doors for me mentally, leading me to reflect on some of the things that I took for granted, and the true value of the life that I would wish to lead. I know most people won't think and reflect after watching dramas, but I always do. haha. Even when watching anime. True happiness is measured by the little things in life that together form a picture of the larger stuff that cultivate the pure essence of life itself. That's the main outcome I gained from the drama. I gave my future a hard thought, and realised, the some of the goals I set were purely because of status, not happiness, nor fufillment. Those have since changed.

I guess i'm going to have to continue on with my Maths now. I still have 14 more questions to complete, before I can allow myself to go to sleep today.

i heart my new hair

I never thought I would love short hair this much, well, not exactly really THAT short lahs, ok.

It's kinda funny, cause in the morning, I would wake up with the Ju Encai hairstyle, and by mid-day, the shape would have changed a little, most likely because i like to tuck my hair behind my ears while writing stuff during classes. By the end of the day, when I reach home, my hair would look like a slightly longer version of the the He Danya (from the weekend Korean Drama: Glory of Family) hairstyle. HAHA. I think the picture shows the transition stage between the 2 different hairstyles. LOLs.

Here's a photo (YES, i know, i uploaded a photo. MIRACLE) haha.

Looks like that's all for now. Sorry... Actually I shouldn't be blogging, but doing my PW research =X okays, back to work.

breathless.

I've a feeling that I won't have the time to blog for a VERY long time for now, so I'm trying to blog as much as I can for these few days. Especially when the PW task comes out tomorrow. Oh GOSH.

I just spent like 14 minutes on the phone with Cheng Hui. I miss her SO MUCH. It's so hard to meet up nowadays, given our busy schedules, like I tried asking her out for dinner tmr, but she can't make it. It's great to hear that she's doing well in ACJC now, though the stress is definitely there. Hmph, of course it's there, I can even feel it building up in NYJC. Just checked the school website and realised we have 2 Econs tests next week. Dang. Plus one math test next week. Looks like I've to revolve my next weekend around revision...

There's this guy in my class, like it's so easy to talk to him, well, at least for me. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I have a crush on him or what, but he's good friend material, you get what I mean? But some of my classmates, the ones that I'm closer to, they don't really like him, so I'm like stuck in the middle most of the time, with another of my friend. Hmph. I really hope this doesn't go on for the rest of the year, or next year, if not i'll be put in awkward positions really often. I'm only saying this here, because nobody in my class knows of my blog, except for Carol, whom I know I can trust. The situation's not too bad now, I'd rather it stay this way, or become better. Hopefully it'll never reach the stage when I'm made to choose sides. Oh, touchwood.

My Math homework is being pushed till after lunch, due to my procastination. Haha... I really don't see the point in learning Math, I'm just taking it because I have to, unlike that of my other subjects, which I really have interest in. But I swore to myself that I must get an A for Math in Alevels. That looks like there's still a lot of work to be done.

I'm starting to worry about my subjects now. haha. Is it too early to start worrying?

when you feel the world is crashing, all around your feet, come running headlong into my arms, Breathless. I'll never judge you, I can only LOVE you. Come now, running headlong into my arms... Breathless.

Haha, I just found out that doing the best in your homework can be the best revenge towards your teacher. One of the holiday homework that I dreaded doing the most was the Econs mindmaps on "all that you've learnt so far". Well, Good Luck in marking my script Econs teacher! Haha. I did like 8 pages of mindmaps, filled with neat handwriting but mass of really really tiny words. The content is really good (well it has to be, since it's just summarising and paraphrasing of the textbook) but it's straineous to read. Sweet Revenge. Oh, when did I ever become so bad...

Everyone is pretty much shocked that I cut my hair. I've been asking my classmates whether I should cut it for like upteen times, but I always gave them the impression that I would eventually keep the ponytail. I'll try to upload a photo of me, soon. Haha, but no promises, you know i'm the kind of person who is too lazy to grab that USB cable and upload a photo. But i swear I'll try? I wonder what my dad's reaction is going to be when he sees me once he comes back from Tokyo tonight.

God. I don't mind doing my Bio homework. But I HATE MATH. I don't even want to come near the maths assignment. So dreading the Math test in Term 2. argh. argh. argh.

I'm going to grab food now, though i just ate lunch not long ago. I'm suddenly feeling really hungry. Craving for luncheon meat sandwich, with apple slices dipped in peanut butter, and cup noodles. Ok, that sounds a little too much. But anyway, i'm going to ransack the kitchen.

new hair!!!

I CUT MY HAIR. Haha... So, if you're looking for me in school or whatever, please look for a girl with my face but with a slightly-above-the-shoulder length bob. Goodbye ponytail! I've been wanting to cut my hair for months now, but I kept hesitating to do so. Finally a took a deep breath and let my locks fall to the scissors. Thank God it turned out looking good, not like some bimbo hairstyle. Lols. I must have been influenced by my friend Mabel. I keep using the word 'bimbo' nowadays. Hahax.

I'm sacrificing precious homework time to blog here, so I'll just try to write whatever I can. My service learning camp was, well, one of the most laid back camps I've attended in my entire life. Had fun, made many new friends, and got to sit on a wheel chair and wheel around the open space outside the staffroom at eleven plus at night. You might think I'm crazy, but I have always wanted to sit on the wheelchair (when i'm healthy!) and feel how it's like to wheel around. Now I understand that it can be kinda tiring on the arms especially.

I went back to CCHY today to collect my O level certificate with Su Xue. She said the cert looks like some restaurant menu. HAHA. I haven't got the chance to read my cert yet, once I got home from the hairdresser's, I've been slogging away on the computer, working on my Minor Research Paper for GP. I've finished almost all my homework, except for my Bio tutorial and that stupid stupid stupid Econs mindmaps on 2 chapters. I really hate doing mindmaps because it's firstly time consuming, and I find mindmaps useless for revision coz everything's all over the place, not in some sort of listing or sequence. So I'm doing all these basically just to make the freaking teacher happy. Dang, that sucks.

Okay, I've to get back to homework now. SAD. My holidays, just GONE. Like THAT.

Man, those pork ribs I had for dinner really makes you feel super stuffed. I'm wishing for a Roti Prata breakfast tomorrow morning. Curry!!! lols. But good ol' plain white Gardenia bread is great too =) With a sunny-side-up egg that i'll wake up early to fry. YUMMO.

time-less. Literarily.

*sigh*... I hardly have time to blog nowadays...

The modular training course we had in school today was total crap. Haha... seriously. They made us do all lame childish games like form a human train and run around, look up and look down trying not to make eye-contact with anybody, slap each other's knees while seated cross legged... I was like "what the hell... waste time" I signed up for conflict management, but eventually, me and my friends just walked out halfway. As did many other people. Friends from other modules also walked out of their courses. I have the decision making course tomorrow, and I heard it is crap also, so I'm currently thinking of forgoing it, to study.

The speaking up, speaking out module was fun though... Speaking out. HAHA... my kinda thing. =))

Just finished printing my Bio notes... I doubt i'll have the time to do so anytime soon. Will be away on holiday and then followed by a camp, so I won't be back till the 19th of March. There goes my March holis. I can't even believe it's march already... I still feel as if I've just stepped into NY not long ago. I hear lots of friends complaining about student council though, like they totally treat the people like a Uniformed Group. It brings back chills just to think of the days I used to have in NPCC. GROSS... That was a disasterous experience. I'm sorry to the pro-NP people, but I the time that i spent in that cca was absolutely dreadful.

*yawn*. Got to wake up early to find a teacher in school tmr. Plus, our GP teacher wants to see us regarding holiday homework =( Teacher's shouldn't see holidays as a time to pile their students with homework. They should see it as a time when the students get to relax and de-stress, so they can return to the new term with better mental capacity and emotional health.

I'm sleeping at 10pm tonight.=P

tired, busy ME.

Hello blog, I think it's been a really long time since i've last updated you.

1035 YOU ROCK!! Y'all did super well for the sports carnival today, winning almost every game we played. We were majorly late for the Math trail, but that wasn't so bad afterall... we had half hour less than most teams, but we finished 3 stations in 40 minutes (plus the time brisk-walking to one station to another) and got 22 points. Credits go to Orson for his more IQ brain (He did most of the job, actually) and Carol for having a brain that worked better than mine at the 3rd station. lols. The breeze at Kallang today was really a bonus, enjoyed a lot of that today.

The jajeongmyun I had for lunch was really satisfying. I think i'm getting addicted to korean food... I'm like craving for Kimchi, seaweed soup, dooso bibimbap, jajeongmyun and mulgogi all the time.

I went to Ngee Ann Poly after the sports carnival today, to learn sign language, as part of my cca, Service learning. We're going to visit a deaf association, and perform the song 1,2,3,4 by the Plain White Ts in sign language. I'm really slow at sign language... and I feel really lucky to be able to voice out my opinions with my own voice, my own sound. Before this course, I never really reflected on the people who can't even hear the sound of their own voice, of music. I'll work really hard on perfecting this song in Sign language, music can overcome all boundaries, even that of sound.

Carol introduced me to this band called Faber Drive. Some of y'all should have heard of it. The band is actually quite nice ya know =)

I feel so at home in NY. I know it's just been barely more than a month, but I feel as if I have been here for ages. I love where I am now, and I really am happy in school. That's good, right? But I don't miss CCHY as much as most people do. I don't know why, but my attachment to CCHY has seemed to swindle into a insignificant portion within my heart. Am I supposed to miss my secondary school at all? So far all I miss is my BFFs and some teachers, but that's really it. I'm I supposed to miss chung cheng? What should I feel? I really don't know.

We Are The World.

I like both the old and the new verson. It's really great that they kept MJ's voice in the video=) He's the only singer from the original that is featured in this new version. Kept on forgetting to post this up. Sorry for not blogging often lately, have been REALLY busy... I'll try my best to update during the weekend. =))
