Its the 1st day of school today and guess wat's my 1st task? USHERING!!! Yep its a coveted job. After all, u get to leave the very first impression of JJ and urself on the J1s. F1 and F5 OGLs, including me are assigned to the canteen to help the J1s get to their respective familes and OGs. That in itself was already a rich experience cos we get to get 1st hand contact with them plus they look really cute and all with their blurded-1st-day-in-sch kinda expressions! Hahaz

In short, the entire day was pretty hectic but it was great! The J1s did a fantastic job considering this being their 1st day and everythin. And there was this particular incident after i left sch today which made me feel reeeeeaaal good. When i was walkin to the Jurong CC Mac, we saw this group of J1s frm Jurong Sec I think, and they were WAVING at us when they saw their men in red. The fact tt we weren't acquainted in the 1st place made it all the more sweet. At least to me, it shows tt we've made an impact on their stay in JJ so far. It may not sound like a big deal, but OGLs treasure every smile or friendly gesture of acknowledgement frm the J1s no matter how insignificant it is. Just wanna say i'm real proud of u ppl!

Its the hols and i'm slacking lyk mad though i'm supposed to catch up with chem. Not trying to sound pessimistic but we're all as gd as having to go thru J1 promos all over again for chem and math on the 2nd wk after sch reopens. Plus 1st wk ogl camp... Arrrgh and here i am.. slacking lyk nobody's business. Can't stand my lack of motivation and focus!!!

Its a relatively unproductive week. Besides tennis, i'm playin games for lyk 3/4 of almost everyday. I'm hopelessly addicted.

Plus say lin's out somewhere in the dense jungle of sarawak in the middle of the monsoon season, cohabitating with some villagers who've got head hunting ancestors. Was getting super worried not knowing whether he's been swept away by the river or kenna food poisoning or malaria or something along those lines. However, i've got news tt he was out with the village chief on a shopping expedition today morning. Gd to hear tt he's still in 1 piece after surviving 1 wk in a place with practically non-existent modern conveniences. Hope he gets back safe and soon (2 more wks to go).

Oh and i'm not leaving after all ;)

Where haf i dieded to? Prob buried under tons of hw. Anyway, i haven't blogged since God knows when and it happens i'm in a relatively gd humour to update my fans who had so faithfully requested for me to write :P Hahaz the past few months have been peaceful. Boring. Been playing a bit of tennis, banging on the sch's public property(piano), playing devil's advocate with all the intra-class romance. Lazing arnd as usual till promos. Judgement Day. Have never been a consistent worker and prob nv will. Used to be damn worried abt my being able to promote cos CT2 grades sux (FFFO). Now tt i'm halfway thru, I thank God for giving me the strength to have pulled thru Math, Chem and Econ. Thought it wasn't tt bad. Should be able to get promoted. Hopefully.

Just found out tt 2 of my greatest girlfriends from bp have been called upon to serve the nation! Hahaz the neighboouring nation i mean. All the best to u 2! Anyway, its 3 mths, not 3 yrs so cheer up ya? Just remember me and u'll pull thru fine ;>

Been chatting with favy guy yest, I can tell he's stressed out and he prob has his reasons and all but i just wanna remind u of the same old thing tt i'm still here 4 u. Any time u need to talk just remember tt im a phone's call away. U'll come out fine lar... Like we bpians always do

Just watched cop files by Jackie Chan with my class. The movie's gd. The only down side's Maureen's naturally sadistic nature. It ruined all the tear evoking scenes.

Oh and btw this is for every1, just wanna reassure u ppl tt the chances of me leaving's 50-50 right now so dun worry or think too much k. Will confirm by the end of this oct. In the meantime, let's just think abt the happier stuff like how to celebrate once promo ends.

supposed to have tennis training today at NIE. MYy back didn't take it well though. There'll be this sharp pain at the lower right side of my back especially when i twist my body or bend too low. So basically, i was hitting crap shots cos i can't turn my body while playing. Think its a muscle pull, gonna consult a reflexologist. Hope I'll be able to get back on court soon. I'm already missing it badly and cos of the dumb bdebate com, my interhs tennis match was walked-over. As expected, our team lost to AC, but it was a great experience anyway. Tot that guy i saw was Jonathan Pflug, hope he's not.

There was this massive blackout tonight which started at about 10+ till now. Was rushin thru my 13 GP essays when the light suddenly went off. Shortly after, i realised that the lights were off in most of the blocks surrounding JP(jurong point). The street lights went off, the lifts stalled with people inside pressing the alarm button CONSTANTLY, irritating the hell outta every1. The carpark lights went off. It was prob too dark to drive in or get out. Traffic lights turned off. Luckily traffic wasn't heavy. Heard mad ppl screaming arnd the block. Abt half an hour later the electricity was restored. There were simultaneous cheers frm neighbours all arnd. Right back to GP... night

Back after a short break. Its been 2 weeks since i've returned but as cliched as it sounds, time really flew-no WHOOSHED by. Here i am now, sitting dumbly in front of the pc wondering where the hell the past 2 weeks went.

I've only completed 6 newspaper articles for hw that's it. That makes up for like 23% of my piling hw. Haven't touched any of my 13 GP essays, 1 compre, chi 36 ji and bk review, MI and trigo tuts and 3 econs essay. This is way depressing. Supposedly. But i'm not feeling the stress and that's a bad sign.

Went to 206 class bbq at say lin's place. The feeling's rather nice. Warm. Indescribable. But i feel ridiculously happy to have met up with my Bimbo Madness sistas! Just wanna tell u guys that u are the greatest! Oh yeah and say lin! My favy guy! Hahaz u're the greatest 2

Anyway besides the piling hw, my life's currently peaceful. Anyway, Say lin says peaceful is a euphemism for life being at a standstill. But i love it all the same. Its some time since things were peaceful.

Anyway i noe this seems kinda out of the current topic, but i remembered this incident which happened in the 2nd floor JJC toilet. It was quite some time ago... But here goes...

When i pushed open the toilet door, i got quite a fright cos there was this girl standin right in front of me. But she was just staring at this spot above me. She didn't even look at me once. I didn't notice it till i came out of the cubicle that she was staring at the over head fan above the door. And she didn't budge the whole time since i entered. She was just sorta givin a sorta vague smile at the fan and fiddling with her hair. Twisting it in her fingers to be exact. i was washing my hands in the sink and i had to check her reflection in the mirror a few times just to be sure she was human. I was seriously freaked. When i went outta the toilet i turned arnd for the last time just to check if she was ok. Only to find her smiling right at me. I shivered. Wonderin whether it was some stressed out jj girl who went abit off becos of stress...

i noe i myself sound off. But its true. JJ's sure got some weird characters...

its been a looooong time since i blogged. For the benefit of those who were wondering where the hell i was the past 3 weeks, i was in uk and france. Had a truly great time there catching up with relatives, sightsee and shop-the usual.The only hitch was that i didn't get to watch FRENCH OPEN!!!! That's sad cos the tv had zilch available sports channels. Had to rely on the daily sports newspaper to keep me updated.

The return flight was a bit of a horror. We experienced quite a no. of air turbulences on the way. In one, i was catchin some shut eye when the plane dipped suddenly, waking me instantly and for the rest of the flight, i remained sober. The airplane dipped again, lower and rockier. My tea spilt and i got splashed with water by this mother infront of me who was feeding a baby who was crying like her life depended on it. Besides eye covers, Qantas should also have provided ear plugs.

Right b4 u ppl get enormously jealous, i won't elaborate any more ;> Well, life's returning back to normal now. The jet lag's passing. Accompanied malcolm to the poly clinic today cos he was whining abt infection in his leg wound. (He skided on clas court and fell, scraping his knee) Apparently, it was a false alarm. The cut was healing and he was charged 8 bucks anyway.

Gotta catch up with tennis, missed 4-5 training sessions already. I'm super off now. Gotta start training for interhouse...

That's more or less wat's happening in my life now. Haf gotten used to the routine. I dun feel as stressed out now as compared to when i just started. But I still gotta put in more effort into chem. If i fail my common test, Ms Yamuna will slice my neck...
