Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.
- The Carpenters
i'm back. i realized i have to blog with caution. no freedom of speech for me, i can't say everything i want over here because some people are not supposed to know certain things so forgive me if my blogging sounds a little restricted 'cause it is. actually, it always has been.
completed our first official week of tutorials and lectures last week! i found out that not everyone ends as early as me. turns out aa2 is one of the classes that ends pretty early most of the days. for example, 12.30 on friday! but, of course there's the exception of thursdays when we end pe at 4.30! but other then that, our timetable is pretty good. =)
aa2 has grace as our sweet rep! basically she's supposed to buy sweets and food to keep us awake in lectures and tutorials. our whole class doesn't care that we're not supposed to eat anywhere else besides the canteen and void deck. the teachers don't really seem to mind either, i'm sure they've seen us passing the bags of sweets down the row during lectures and tutorials. so i guess that's the unique thing about aa2? having a sweet rep =)
oh and i finally bought my pumps! i'm a happy girl. haha, i've been searching for a nice design and the right size forever! i had to buy size 3 and even then, i still had to buy the in-sole thing because even size 3 is too big! so techincally it's like a 2 and a half. yes, my feet are that small. which translates into problems when buying pumps. blah
alrighty, gotta get down to completing my geog and chem tutorials. can't afford not to do geog when we have the dm (discipline master) as our tutor!
let your heart out.
on wed, i confused my class as aa1 at first and spent a long time lamenting that ac hated me and placed me in a class where i knew no one after they allocated me into an og that had no crescentians. but i double-checked and found out that my new class is 1aa2! there's 6 crescentian's in aa2 and i know them either personally or as debbie/xiangyi's friend. only 6 guys and the rest (around 18!) are girls! i've heard of other classes that has no guys at all! most of the classes so far have more girls than guys so it's pretty much girl power. oh and our class has 2 girls from cedar (lilin and jasmine) that are super high and chirppy. but that's good, it's better than being a dead class.
timetable isn't that bad, i end earlier than 3.30 on 3 days which is quite good considering the timetable back in crescent. formal tutorials start tmr! uh, not really looking forward to them. there goes my 2-hour-long breaks ):
i need to go shopping. i want to buy my pumps which is an increasingly difficult task 'cause my feet are too small for most shops' smallest size pumps! mum says i should start turning to children shoes for pumps but i refuse to. gosh. i need to go shopping soon.
let your heart out.
i forgot! tag-replies:
dom: haha, are you sure? (:
debbie: yes, of course i remember you! sch's good so far. i hope you're having fun with sec 3!
shuzhen: hi! yup, ac orientation is pretty fun. how's vj?
and i forgot to mention that i went back to crescent last friday for cca recruitment. it was great, i miss doing guide stuffand it brought back memories of last year's cca recruitment. the craziness of it all - the cookies, the pizzas, the souvenirs.. madness but heaps of fun and that's what i really love. =) delia commented that those of us from ac looked so dark and i didn't realize that all of us grew that much darker until she mentioned it. that's what orienation does to you. oh and debbie said i was scaring away the current sec 1s ):
let your heart out.
end of the second week of school. i finally made up my mind about my subject combination and i chose chem, geog, math and econ. i had to appeal into arts, i don't know why i even applied for science stream in the first place. i haven't found anyone who has the exact same combination as me. the closest is probably those with their combination that has one subject different from mine. i attended the friday lectures with my og with the exception of geog which i attended with debbie. monday will be slack day for me 'cause i only have 3 lectures with 2 hour breaks in between them!
today was fun :)
now on to more serious matters. today, a close friend's mother has been diagnosed with cancer. it's all very shocking and sudden. this kind of news really makes a huge impact when you hear it 'cause it really makes you reflect and realize that life really is unpredictable and anything can happen anytime. i lost my grandad to cancer too, the same kind which my friend's mum has been diagnosed with so it's pretty scary. BUT MIRACLES DO HAPPEN AND PRAYERS DO REALLY WORK. so never give up hope and stay strong!
let your heart out.
i shall blog about familiar faces in ac. there's friends from kindergarten (surprise, surprise!) and raffles. my friends from kindergraten don't recongize or remember me and i can't blame them. it's been a long long time and it's a pleasant surprise to see them back in jc. as for friends from raffles.. some of them don't recognize me, some of them find out who i am yet "dao" me and stephanie recognizes me!!(: it was pretty surprising (i seem to have a limited vocab today) that she still recognizes me considering that i looked really different since p3/p4. yeah, so it's really nice getting the chance to catch up with old friends!
lectures lectures lectures. today i was lazy and only attended chem. supposed to have attended geog and lit but oh wells. somewhat decided on the mixed combination, ensuring that i don't have to go through the hassle of appealing into arts. i hope i can cope with chem and all the rest of the other subjects. we'll see how it goes..
alrighty, shall update more often when i can! (actually, i don't know who else is still reading my blog!)
let your heart out.
gosh, i can't believe i have to return to sch tmr. i feel like i've barely rested. orientation has been mad. it's pretty fun but oh-so-exhausting. stupid contacts had been giving me problems throughout orientation especially the second and third day. games were fun, mostly get down and dirty but the mud crawl one was simply gross. the mud smelled like shit. urgh. i thought the campfire was so-so. it got off to a great start but then it became really boring and it ended with a bang again (mass dance!), in that way it's pretty weird.
back to sch again tmr! introductory lectures which i need to choose my last subjects since i'm debating between chem and lit. if i need to appeal to change my stream (i stupidly chose the wrong steam), hopefully the appeal would come through for me.
let your heart out.
