I guess the “mourning” period is already over and well, you have to get over it and face reality.

I didn’t make it. Yes. Really. You didn’t read anything wrong.

I am sure I don’t need to translate what it is.
But I am not surprised la, to tell you the truth.
If you want the details, ask me, since it is already a fact, nothing to hide la.

Now all what left to do is pick myself up.

But my dear juniors, I knew all of you made it, congrats and I am really really proud of you guys(blame it on the fact I have a soft spot for you people XD) =)

Oh yes, I crashed YJC, Xinyi’s class specifically, yesterday! Damn fun la…went through econs, chem,maths lectures. I also did a little sightseeing.HAHA. I saw my primary school friends, Sherry and Lydia which was a little bit of a shock la but they didn’t recognize me so nvm la. Oh! I also saw Fred and Amelia. And of course all the mfpeeps who went there for PAE.

Xinyi’s class-P09 was really nice la. They were all warm,friendly and very crappy.HAHA. Can see why Xinyi like to stay in YJC and why she like her class. They have this bond which is quite obvious and they are like very comfortable with each other. There is also a good mix of every type of school in her class so it was pretty interesting too, since each school’s “traditions” is different. YJC is like the old Campus 1, I mean, it have the Old Campus 1 feel and it kinda looks like it too. Hehe. Told mum I was going to the beach today, cos how to tell her I was gonna crash YJ? I bet she would look at me like I was mad or something.

My life now…is basically a gamble, as far as I can tell. Right now, at this moment, it IS a gamble.

To the ex-sec 4s, they had the easier route, they didn’t need to “run” the extra “round” in the “competition” in order to get where they are now, all they had to do was pass 3 EOY exams, not to say it is not as nerve-wrecking for them as it is for us now, in fact, it is equally nerve-wrecking(to the point where we all can’t sleep XD). For us, the ex-sec 5s, we gamble away 1 year of our lives in order to sit for the Os, today(13 hours later in fact) will tell us whether we should have or shouldn’t have gamble away last year. We are also all tired people, we “ran” the extra “round” and we sat for 1 national exam after the other, simply put, by the time we got the Os, we were all damn exhausted.

Going to MF was also a gamble. Here’s what I did 5 years ago. Deyi(I think) was suppose to be my 4th choice, chosen by my mum but because Marlene put MF as one of her choices(she wanted to go into bowling) so I decided to cancel Deyi and change it to MF(because back in MCS, we were pretty close friends) but never in my wildest dreams though that I will get in. And the rest…is history =)HAHA. That’s why my bus journey to school take soo long, because I never thought I will be in a school in AMK.

The only thing that I didn’t gamble on was on Guides. My main aim to join Guides back in 2003 was pretty simple: to march in the NDP and the only way I could do that was through Guides(I don’t know why I never thought of St.John/NPCC/GB then, maybe cos of the fact that I was in Brownies). So I guess you can say it is pretty straightforward then for me to join Guides. But what I didn’t predict back then was how much was I gonna to fall in love with Guides. So now, there is a Rover/YA crossroads for me to choose, as much as I like to choose both,but I have this theory about choosing one thing and putting your heart and soul(blood,sweat and tears included) into it. Don’t want to be jack of all trades and master of none you know. Besides, I’ve told you my choice to join Rovers was a rash one, now that I have though through it and seek advice about it, my heart is pretty much into YA. There are a lot of benefits in Rovers,that I know, but I can’t bring it in me to leave what I grew up with. But more of that later, after the whirlwind, hurricane and tsunami called the O levels results will then I tell you more reasons. But I am pretty sure I got myself into pretty deep hot water.

KEEP IN TOUCH OKAY?

LOVE YOU GUYS(yea.seriously)!

I will miss you!

Camp Inspire 2008

7:53 PM

I AM BACK FROM CAMP!AND Os RESULTS WILL BE OUT ON THURSDAY! AHH!

First off, I don’t want to see another packet of chicken rice for another week after eating them for lunch/dinner for 2 days straight.

The camp was great and pretty damn awesome. I don’t know when I will get a chance to do this with the same group of people(Andreas,Peiwen, Addie and the sec 4s) again. If I don’t, all the more I should treasure it, should I?Anyway, Peiwen and I arrived pretty much on the dot on Friday with Andreas and Addie coming in about 20mins later I think, after we asked the girls to put their things in the classroom. After that, we(Andreas and I) went to bath then we went for a meeting at 8pm in the I&E room, the guides leaders were in charge of doing up the treasure hunt stations while the scouts did the obstacle course so Andreas, Addie and I went around the school snapping the pictures.HAHA.we were pretty evil, like taking pictures of the “Chinese” shadow near the CO room and the antenna at the balcony on the 4th floor.HAHA. After we finished everything, I think we went down to the canteen to have a look at the obstacle course and I tried out the maze, the maze was damn small and dark la. Oh. And I lost my way and hp inside there and Andreas pengseh me halfway through the maze but Fred helped me retrieve it later la(thanx!).We had a general meeting after the maze adventure to choose our stations and modify the stations’ ideas. In the end, I got tap/groundsheet for treasure hunt and the maze for obstacle course which I ended up doing it with Snirky the next day.The night was far from over and we went opposite the coffee shop to eat supper, roti prata =) I have to say, it is pretty cool la, eating supper at 1+am with these people I mean. We spent the rest of the time(2am-about 4:30am in my case) in the I&E room printing and cutting the pictures for the treasure hunt. And I was the 2nd person in the guides leaders group to go to sleep(Addie went off first cos she was the emcee for Saturday’s campfire and a very important person because if she fall ill on Saturday means that we would have been pretty much dead.), Peiwen and Andreas went in at 5am and got up at 6am(we got up at 8am).

Saturday, last day of camp. The sec 1s came in and the ice-breaking games were pretty fun(wacko and dog&bone) and they did hongdou while I went out to buy lunch with Peiwen. Then it was treasure hunt time, since my station was near Addie’s station at the 2nd D&T room(her’s was at the CO room) so we visited each other’s stations if we were bored and if there was nobody at our stations. Evil me made them sing and dance on the groundsheet every time they fold the groundsheet but I only got that idea when the 3rd group come.hehe. The most popular songs hands down were ABC and twinkle twinkle little star, some groups got patriotic and sang the MF school song.HAHAHA. Some sang the popular songs(It’s too late to apologize). Before the obstacle course started, I tried to play the balancing beam and I got across it.YAY FOR ME! But it was damn scary la. For the first 20mins, my station was free cos there were 6 stations and only 5 groups so snirky and I were able to browse around the various stations. Balancing beam and tug-of-war was so damn funny la, Jebez was competing against 5 girls and Miaomiao and Yingjie were playing the extreme version of scissor-paper-stone on top of the balancing beam. My station was the only one in the shade so I didn’t really get sunburned. And when the guides and scouts came, then the fun came, they had to find a peg, a lighter and a compass inside the maze. I lost count of the number of times they bump their heads but everyone came out sweaty XD while Andreas and Peiwen went to supervise the cooking of dinner, Addie and I went off to play war games with the scouts and the scouts leaders. It was damn fun la, we used like 250+ water bombs I think and we got wet! Oh! And now I know how to make a water bomb using the plastic bags that people use to carry the takeaway teh peng/coffee peng le! MUAHAHA. But I won’t bother trying to explain the whole game, if not, this entry is gonna be even longer than it already is. But the game ended with Jebez spraying the scouts who were trying to attack us on the stairs with the water host and he ended up being the wettest.Then Addie and I went off to have a quick bath and change into our full uniform and campfire started at around 7:30pm. Campfire was pretty good, considering that everyone was tired. I got sabo-ed to do the maboleh competition and some weird forces possessed me to go up and dance hongdou(which surprise! Surprise! I still remember). Chinhow, Yingjie, Wilfred and Lianyi were up there(stage) too so I guess that’s why bah.

OH YES! I GOT PICTURES! HAHAHA.

This camp makes it a lot more harder to leave them.

CAMP TOMORROW!

And what happens the night before is always super chaos XD I haven’t packed my bag yet nor do the wacko sticks yet.AHH!these two days, have been super busy(sms-ing) and confirming the last minutes stuff and Tuesday was pretty interesting but it pretty falls somewhere along the lines of if xiangjie/snirky didn’t come, me and peiwen would have died cos he is really the expert in this kinda stuff. It was quite funny also la, cos after peiwen left and we waited till the assembly is over(by playing his psp and ds), we managed to get hold of a loudhailer from mr kwek and we managed to get some “business” from xiangjie shouting into the loudhailer.HAHA.

Today, instead of going to NP, Shiyama and I went off to AMK central and bishan to look for lightsticks but to no avail and in the end, we found it in United Square.gonna have to collect it tomorrow noon. Mission Impossible:Lightsticks.haha. cos it’s seriously impossible to find la. Why someone don’t open a shop which sells solely lightsticks(so that it’s easier to find.XD) I don’t understand, from what I know, it’s like damn popular la. campfires every sat thats why.

I got my haversack bag! But I became broke. It cost me like $175 la. I better use it tomorrow, if not I will get killed by my mum.

Karma, it’s such a funny thing, isn’t it?i guess now they understand exactly what i am talking about.

You ever wonder how long it takes to change your life?
What measure of time is enough to be life-altering?
It is 4 years, like high school?
1 year?
An 8-week rock tour?
Can your life change in a month, a week, or a single day?
We’re always in a hurry to grow up, to get places, to get ahead.
But when you are young, one hour can change everything.
-Lucas Scott(OTH season 4)

i still can't believe this is happening!somebody!pinch me!

12:52 AM

I hope history is gonna repeat itself. I mean, I never thought of it that way till I realized the people who will(or may) be there, the location and the number of days. It got me thinking that it just might be like the old days. But for now,*fingers crossed*.for it to be just like the old days.

Man, at this rate, I will never ever get my hands on a haversack bag. My parents absolutely refuse to buy me one. But if I can get a job at marks &sparks at centerpoint to be with my dear kamini, then it maybe a different story. I wanna have a haversack bag! Haha. I sound like a little spoilt brat. Shall go down to Carrefour to look for one tomorrow if not there will be no window of opportunity anymore to buy it. Mum said she will give me $100 to buy the bag…but is it enough? To illustrate my point on how my mum really has no clue is what guiding is about she said: “don’t buy those designer bags, they are only for those serious camping/hiking people”. I was like wth? So all along, I am not serious la? Like going on camping trips at least once a year is not serious enough for her.

Anyway, I will have a busy and rather interesting week. I can’t wait!

Tuesday morning going to mf to promote the camp and I have a meeting at night with the camp people at Andreas’s favourite hangout/meeting place->yes! You guessed it! It is at AMK central mac! Remind me not to order fish burger there-the last time I went there, I found A STRING OF HAIR IN MY FISH BURGER.bloody disgusting la . Andreas named it the hairburger.haha. soo lame.

Wednesday night-going out to eat dinner with Kamini and Shiyama.

Thursday-going to NP with Shiyama.

Friday and Saturday-CAMP!LETS CELEBRATE!FINALLY A CAMPFIRE/GANGSHOW!

Saturday, January 12, 2008

7:51 PM

Camp next week! YAY! A welcome distraction from thinking of the O levels results(anymore rumours of when is it going to come out?) and from the boredom at home.

Went to SP and TP open house with xinyi(the sec 5 one), Peh wei ling, wee ling and huiting yesterday. The MRT took forever to go to both TP and SP but it was worth it(think goodie bags) and got some pretty good advices from the people there(put the courses you want to get into really really bad in the first few choices then put the courses you are sure you can get into in the last few/middle so that you can get “priority” for interviews etc if you can’t get into your first choice or your chances of getting into that course is higher than of people putting it in the 2nd or 3rd choice). For SP,mainly we stayed in the school of business and I met Edith there to have lunch then went to school of engineering, IT, humanities and applied science for TP.Oh yes, I saw the sec 4s and 5s at the TP open house and I got a free tee from TPOH(TP Open House) =D.I am going to NP’s next Thursday with Shiyama, looking forward to it! Finally! An outing with her after months of her being MIA.LOL.

I just realized that I haven’t write poetry for a long time and I should start soon-as soon as inspiration comes.

And I saw mf’s yearbook for 2007 and the mf writers book for 2007. For the mf writers book, I am soo darn proud of my class…cos in the poetry section, about half of our class poetry made it inside and DK and Shiyama’s compositions(hint!hint! HAHA)made it inside too. Our reputation as a language class still stands XD. God.i will miss literature(oh! i got my hands on Dead Poets Society! yay!) and history and English if I can’t do them at JC/Poly.oh ya, DREAMS 5 and ACM didn’t make into the yearbook for 2007, why am I not surprised?but I learnt not to care about what the school thinks long ago le.

I am watching reruns of princess hours and it’s so funny, reminding me why I was so addicted to it. And coffee prince, another funny/touching drama. What I don’t get is why the boss don’t get that SHE IS A GIRL!CAN’T HE TELL?IT IS SOO OBVIOUS LA! Soo dumb la he, thinking that he is falling for a guy therefore thinking he is gay(haha..and that reminds me of hana kimi “ isn’t gay suppose to be spelt g-a-y instead of g-y-a?” or something like that). Too much daydreaming.

12:33 AM

Went back to mf to help out in the CCA exhibition just now with Andreas and it felt soo strange stepping back inside the school as a CCA leader but not as a student.And we went back during recess. So it was even more strange.Let me tell you what we did from 10+am-2pm, we were sticking and tying all our promotional booklets together, with strings,glue and double-sided tape, hence we became the MF guides booklet sticking company during these hours. Which resulted in us not eating lunch (sound like we are on diet,right?HAHA).

Then the annual “war” started, but it was in the classroom instead of the parade square cos of the rain(which is way better,really). We did the usual things, telling people about guides and singing and shouting and yelling and we did a collaboration with the scouts.LOL.cos you see, that way, both CCAs benfit.And Mr Fire Fighter aka Melvin went to our classroom to kajiao us and stole our sweets(bad Melvin,right?haha).Anyway, Bryan is famous!lol. his face is on this big scouts banner about the overseas community service aka dreams 5, the picture where he was teaching the student how to use the computer is ENLARGED XD.and miaomiao,lionel and sionghui are inside there too but theirs are a lot smaller.But overall, it was pretty good la(other then the fact of the tour where the sec 1s were in the classroom for like 5 mins and then the SLs ask then to go) and chikheng, zhengjie(and the usual NPCC leaders) came back.Oh.and Andreas is trying to convince me to join YA so that I can take over her(which I think I am suppose to do) and Jiayi,Cai Er,Mdm Ng and Peck Hui say they want to help her by flooding my e-mail with 100 registration forms per day(evil people). I wish I can join both but if I join both, I would be killing myself man. And they are making me a lot more confused…HELP!With everything, I don’t think I will be working + I will be going back to Jakarta for CNY on the 5th of Feb so there is no way I can work.No work=no money. If I have to wait till April to get my pocket money, I will be dead broke.

Oh ya, I spent New Year at Morton’s steakhouse in the Mandarin Oriental hotel. It was like damn nice la and we had complimentary drinks and food cos they made us wait for about 30mins+ for our table which was in the private room and they had to chase the people out in the end.The food was fantastic (especially the chocolate cake with ice cream which was heavenly) and we got a clear view of the fireworks, without going off to Esplanade(which had like a human traffic jam).hehe.

I wonder how this year will turn out and to be frank, it feels damn scary right now.
And I want to go back to school…like really bad(maybe cos it got something to do with the fact that I am the only one not going to school(Tia got into ACS(IB)). I miss 5G and the NOISE they create!
