celebrated twc day and ber's birthday at kallang's kfc. went there to revive our memories. how we used to go there almost every week after school. took quite a lot of photos.
i really miss the girls a lot. there's like no one to take corny and ridiculous pictures with in tj. tk rocks.
school's starting tmr. its so sian. i need a non-04 layout.
im finally back from camp. sounds like ive been away for so long when its just three days. anyway it does seems like ive been away for quite a while, judging from the activity of my comment box. havent blogged about events for a long time, so i shall narrate the past three days.
day 1 the first thing we did was to set up our bunk, which was the gym. got splitted into groups (team billabong, team ripcurl and
team quiksilver), and drew posters to write down our goals and stuff. then each group did its individual proposals for the noticeboard designing competition and i cant remember who won. but we just combined elements from each group and did the board up. im so proud of the basketball noticeboard now ;p basically, the first part of the camp was more like art camp than basketball camp. haha.
flew kite in the afternoon. it was a much more successful attempt than the last time we tried in the kembangan field. it was so relaxing to just sit down and watch the kite fly. BUT. the bloody OM (aka donna's father and chan old man) had to spoil it all. "have you asked the changi aviation centre for permission to fly your kite here?" he asked. "why are you in home clothes and walking around in slippers?" we said, "we're having camp.." "even so you cant wear slippers in school." he is so bitchy. and he even sent an email to complain about ppl flying kite and wearing flower shorts (both which i was guilty of) to miss ang our teacher in charge. what an asshole.
had the usual training, then went out for dinner. the gate was locked, so had to climb out. tj's gate is super climber-unfriendly lah. first you have to plan your steps. then you have to be sure to not be cut by the barbed wire by the side. and got cut lah. so bloody suay. it must have been chan old man's idea to put barbed wire at the side of the gate.
then we had the phantom of the temasek at night. which was basically just a nightwalk around the school. miss ang just had to tell us unusual incidents that once happened in tj lah. and some ppl got rather freaked out lah. luckily i had gentlemanly guys in my group who kept telling us to be careful and made sure we walked in front of them. dimitra and ruide tried scaring us by jumping out from the bushes. but since we were quite far away from them we werent that shocked lah. if they waited a bit more for us to walked over it would be scarier. lol. was the third group to get back. so while waiting for the rest, the guys were thinking of ways to scare others. damn funny.
went to bed at 1230. but couldnt sleep at all cos the gym was freezing lah. we later found out that the two aircons were both blasting at 16 degrees. -__- finally couldnt tahan the cold so went out to sleep at the basketball court. placed some of the mats on the court and just lay there and watch the stars. it was so shiok. until the mosquitoes came.
day 2 woke up at an unearthly time such as 530 in the morning for pt. felt a little giddy halfway. probably due to lack of sleep and an empty stomach. so paiseh. ppl had to walk with me lah. then the headache was like on and off. so i just walked/jogged to east coast macs. its amazing how my two legs actually carried me there lah. so freaking far.
then we had amazing race, which was called 'a series of unfortunate event'. damn fun lah. and a lot more tiring than orientation games. like everyone chiong here chiong there. the most unfortunate event was the one at lucky heights lah. the clue read, "it feels lucky to be on a height. it is outside tjc and is within 2km radius of LT2." and everyone simply chionged there lah. except for our slacker group. we just like strolled there and everyone was waiting for us. thats not too unfortunate yet. we have to run back to school using the girls' route and each group must have someone being carried along the way. not funny at all. running at least 2 more km on top of pt in the morning at 12 noon is crazy lah. even so the guys managed to do it lah. i am in awe of their fitness.
watched some inspiring video at night. just video clips of iverson and other famous nba players. have i mentioned that iverson is so freaking cool.
day 3 last day of camp. i could hardly stand up when i woke up. my legs were so stiff. there's like no part of my legs that weren't aching. due to the amount of running we did the day before. i swear there's i have never ran so much in a day ever before in my whole lifetime until yesterday. cleared our bunk. had friendly with acjc. then listened to the guys' feedback. realised that they really know a lot lah. and we finally broke camp and im finally back home.
noticed that there's no blogging about 04. he has downgraded from almost-jay status to friend status already. so no more gushing. until he rises in the ranks again. (i hope not though. haha.) however if you do want to know what how he was like, i've got the details. details of other basketballers will be told at a price. (cherlyn you know what to do. haha.)

today my scg tried to mass pon chinese but failed. how miserable. they got sent back to chinese by mrs wee but luckily i went off first. haha.
went to crash mj. to visit loko and peeps. saw joy's beaver finally. i am rather disappointed to be honest. where got cool. i think popo's better. so lokPO. please tag that 04 looks nothing like pyramid except that they have oakley specs and black hair. watched hitch. wasnt as funny as i expected. why cant someone produce a proper comedy that i wont stop laughing at. sigh.
talking about something funny, i recall the joke that evelyn made the other day. up till now i still think its funny. actually i think its more hilarious than hitch.
jingxuan: hey thats my cousin, i go say hi to him.
cherlyn: where? i want to see!
jingxuan: he not handsome one lah.
cherlyn: i where got so shallow..
evelyn: not shallow, just no water only.
i dunno why, but i can still laugh at this. but i doubt anything in hitch can make me laugh so hard.
the time has come for me to settle down properly to jc life and stop thinking its still the first three months. its so hard to think that im not going to go back to tk as a tkgian anymore. like before cny, i looked forward to going back to tk. and before the release of o's, i looked forward in seeing everyone again. right now, i can only look forward to national day. or teachers' day.

thinking is stressful and tiring. makes me feel like crying at times. it even made me like jogging. and when i say i like jogging it means that thinking is really terrible. its like when you jog, you simply focus on every step you take and your breathing. as simple as that. nothing complex or brain cells killing.
attended the alpha house function. all i can say is that the food was not bad. basically i was bored. not the house committee's fault really, its just that i dont have good friends in my cg. went over to visit gamma house function. its like much more happening that alpha. the breakdancing and rap was damn cool lah. and of course i saw 04. who was dressed rather hiphopishly i must say. haha.
oh and congrats to lokPO who got accepted into tp's design school. your favourite designer could have been XARL you know.

the more i think about my choices, the more confused i get. im like having a mini debate in my brain all the time. when i hear about ppl leaving, i think, why not? then ppl come up to me to tell me to stay in tjc. im quite touched lah, even though i dont show it.
other than whether to be a stayer or quitter, im also thinking of changing my subject combination to triple science. simply because im flunking econs. and i dont have that much interest in it. at least i know i'll do better in bio. despite my lack of passion for it too. should i go for grades, or practicality?
i suppose the reason why i am having so much troubles deciding is because i dont know what i want. im so envious of ppl who knows what they want to do, example: hanny the future optician. or maybe i should just blame my indecisiveness on my birthday, cos librans are supposedly indecisive. someone help me.
someone help amanda too. hope she can make it in. if only sharing of aggregates is allowed. then we can add our aggregates together and take the average and we will both stay in tjc happily ever after. (jieyi dont be jealous im straight)
