is currently an undergraduate student, and coping with her overwhelming commitments. I like long walks in solitude, cosy chats, usually sleep like a log, and beg your patience in tolerating my versatile humour

Much much much ado!

Yet another busybusy week, with less than 7 days to h1 and GP. BLEGH. Anyway, here's another shoutout:
Happy belated 18th birthday, Momma Chua! (Ah Beng)
My HOD of Liturgy, with all his cool, calm and collected lameness - hope you have a eclectically enjoyable day(s) with your amazing friend. Momma is so blur. He didn't even realise that we were deviously scheming the best way to exit the library to cut cake, despite it being supervised self-study since we no longer have any CA activities. Yes, I believe that only he and James were effectively engaged in the mugging process. So nearing 6pm, we "sneaked" out (in full view of Momma) trying not to arise suspicion to the canteen, where the cake was set up before we called him out. Then it was merrymerry singing and much galore before we headed back for nightstudy. Omg nightstudy this time is so cool can. There's actually a 15 minute break where parent volunteers distribute free milo and get this: donut factory donuts, slabs (not slices) of pandan cake, and tortilla meat wraps from Olio's. It's so amazing I swear(Blasphemy). Pity I can't stay back any more days. And like what Clare was saying, I think it's super ironic that councillors have supervised self study.

Environmental Week by CI was a relative success -with engaging publicity in the mornings (one of them involved Brother watering a pottted plant to mark the opening of 3logy), freecycling (which saw 2 of my 500ml bottles disappearing from the SCC, thanks to Ms Camslut who won first place for her "outstanding" efforts) and not forgetting the blood sweat and paint (Rina accidentely got paint on her skirt while painting) of the CI wingers. Good job, guys(:

Not forgetting the highlight of this week: Literary Evening! It was the bomb, and I truly mean. No other historically apt place as fitting as The Arts House (formerly Old Parliament House) at 6pm. Obviously everyone (except me) looked fabulously astounding in their pretty frocks, fitted pants, and willowy hair. Mrs Hoe was so sweet, she actually bought us each a rose. Isn't that sweet. We arrived early even though it was already 6 and just hung around waiting for everyone to turn up. The presentations were awesome, no really. I especially enjoyed Morning Glory, for its concept of a play within a play and stunning overrall cast singing (they had choir girls) and the very engaging abrupt cut by their "director". Equally entertaining was t13's multimedia production cum parody of the books, with catchy Lenina-licious tunes and high culture ballet. There was also an external performance from Wessex Theatre, who did an excerpt from their Shakespeare on Love (refer to previous post), the really funny one which I enjoyed watching.
But of course, with all my Eleven bias, congratulations dear ELEVEN! THIRD FOR PRESENTATION- A GILLEADIAN LULLABY! I'm so proud of everyone who chipped in to write the poem, edit the slides and music and recite the poem; now we have something to brag about!:D The walk back to City Hall was really fun, we went crazy singing the number one hit single Amazing Grace (private joke) and took pretty pictures on the steps of Supreme Court, which looked positively romantic amidst the radiant lights of the Esplanade and the Eye at night. Although we really thought we were going to kena attack by a group of teenagers due to some carelessly blurted racist remarks (looks pointedly at a certain classmate) and were considering the defence potential of a thorny rose, it was really hilarious all the way back to City Hall. Had a pit stop at Mos (!!) where we bumped into quite alot of CJCians (seniors and current batch), before taking the train home. I guess it wasn't so bad after all, despite my initial nervous because of my incompetence at social events and dolling up. Nonetheless, I am still a tad unhappy that I missed IJ Fiesta as I haven't gone back in a million years, metaphorically speaking.

Still dreading the flurry of Winged Time, for it would signal Mrs Hoe's departure. The scrapbook is screaming for attention on my desk, together with all the clippings and stickers and photos I have yet to paste in.

Hope mama is doing fine in Vietnam, my turn would come soon with Batam. Anyway, I was deleting my sms-es during the ride to City Hall, and I couldn't help but laugh at the fond memories of some of the messages.

Aiming: Haha! I create a commotion by fainting, and you run in and get the keys.
(while strategising the best way to retrieve the classroom keys from the office during the hols)
Arthur: FREAK. AH SHIT I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE TEST. And my notes are under the table. Sobs. Gone.

:)

Quote from Ade's blog:
"Never underestimate the pain of a person because the truth is everyone is struggling. It's just that some people hide it better than others."
What a very accurate grain of truth, Ade(:

Thank you everyone who have knowingly/unknowingly cheered me up this week. I'm starting to feel happy after such a long time, and I hope it's not jinxed like all other aspects of my life.

Unlike the surge of random spontaneous nostaglia that Offred oftens adopts in her narrative, I shall attempt to recall my week in a systematic flashback instead.
Friday
Annual Awards Ceremony. Had to wake up extra early so that I could bathe and put on my stockings, which alone is enough effort to be considered a ritual in itself. Arrived in school at 645 (like wow I don't even come that early for morning mass lor) to yep, you guessed, act polite , attentive and receptive to all the VIP and parents of prize recipients. Kind of like Singapore girls (and dudes) but without the air sickness. I think I smiled so much my mouth hurt. Then the GOH arrived complete with his security and shook our hands. Went into the audi ex, much to my dismay because I was hoping to catch the ceremony. But apparently we didn't miss much cos when Jon cae back to the SCC(where we were slacking/listening to Su's iPod/doing homework) and said the speech took quite long. Then, we went back and served the guests at the reception (mine was the VVIP area so we had ceramic cutlery and metal utensils), where the food was so temptingly appealing we couldn't wait for clearing up time. I felt guilty for helping myself to the chicken, but hey it's not like my fault they were practically screaming "eat me!" like an excited IJ girl at the netball finals.
School was pretty slack, I only had Maths lecture today. So during the break before, I went to the library to do some work. And something happened which kind of surprised me. I admit I wasn't expecting it at all, so yeah(:
Council was just as slack too, we had a half an hour meeting to discuss final wrap up :(((( before we headed to the CCAB to support the Hockey Match against RJ and Rugby Played Finals against JJ. Hockey lost, despite our loud cheering. Expected, I guess, since Raffles has been the defending champion for a decade. But the hockey players were nice enough to bow to the spectators after the game. Then walked over to the grandstands for Rugby. Now let me tell you something about this game. As much as it's exciting enough to get one all hyped up, sweaty and hurling not so polite variations of the f-word at the opponents, as much as the game itself brings together an entire college of supporters in an unifying sprit, it is HIGHLY barbaric. Never in my life have I witnessed such a brutal, despicable and unrestrained force of tackling and strangling of players on the field as they tried to intercept a ball which isn't even shaped like one to begin with. I'm telling you, rugby is legal murder, judging by the sheer uncivisilised manner there was body contact(and not in the most flattering way either). Seeing the CJ players getting struck, sprawled and having their spleen scooped out like ice kachang on the field is NOT COOL. Seeing their contorted faces grimace in pain is NOT COOL. And Miss SYT, telling me that the coach was spraying Salon Pas on their muscles is NOT FUNNY. But I admit, the game was played with much fervour, and the ruggers gave it their all and DUH WE WON!!!!:D I think the last time I screamed like this was during Orientation? Yeah I got me so excited like a girl on her first roller coaster ride.
Anti climax moment: Bringing back Camslut's extremely unglam bags of plastic bottles to school on the bus, which we were to store in the CA room, under strict instructions ("it's under my class account, hor").
I slept at 9pm which is uh, very early for me.
Thursday
The only day of the week where my timetable ends at a civilised time: 1400. But you know, karma's idea of a sick joke is to have Maths consultation thereafter(which I skipped because I thought I was having Geog consultation with KC), Geog consulation (which was cancelled because Mrs Leong wasn't free), and Council for Annual Awards briefing on Friday. The briefing wasn't long, it was rather the trying of blazers and saigang of the booklet that took up alot. of. time. I didn't realise it was getting late until Fishy called me. So dashed over to Hub to get the invites from her, then went home.
Wednesday
Volleyball for PE(: Went for the FFGCC(No I'm not swearing its the Maths GC competition) which was super demoralising cos I just realised how bad my J1 work is, and the timed conditions didn't help either. Went fot council after, taught the j1s how to set up mass and watched them plan our invest service. I'm so happy 4 of the juniors are in CA(:
and and and
Happy 18th Birthday Lynn!(: I hoped you liked Ade's no bake cheesecake which we hurriedly decorated with Hello Panda and the lonesome birthday candle and the other stuff(: Though I didn't do anything (Pepe made the card), yeah so here's a shout out to you.
Monday
Long day of school, we ended at 4 :/ Super tired, but no the day didn't end there. Went for Liturgy dry run for the setting up of mass stuff, and felt super bad cos didn't really prepare my side. Woops. Then went for tuition with Frips, Shan and YT. Monday's session is quite quiet and good, although the food isn't that good.

Yeah that's my week for you. Night study is starting next week but I doubt I can chiong it since Ma won't be at home for awhile, and Meiling has already started asking. And sorry Simeon! Ii've been bumping into quite alot but didn't say hello until you asked why. I'm not daoing! Honest!
Council term is ending, and I'm feeling quite disoriented already. Like what Marie says, it's the only thing I look forward to in school. Oh fishcake, I'm starting to miss the people and the room already.
ARGH MUST. STUDY. FOR. H1.

Let's distract ourselves, shall we?



I forgot to update on the very eventful week that has just passed, or maybe I chose to forget. Blues aside, on Thursday most of the Lit girls (and guys omg can you believe) in my class attended Shakespeare on Love at DBS Arts Centre, Robertson Quay, 20 Merbau Road. If you are wondering how I managed to type off that whole chunkful of an address, it's probably because I spent the whole of Labour Day morning, figuring how to get even get there. Lol. I probably busted all my free outgoing asking around for help, until I gave up and just went googled it for the direction. Which in the end, turned out to be totally useless, because when I arrived at Clarke Quay MRT, we decided to cab there cos it was getting late >.<

The play was actually quite entertaining and amusing to watch; the cast articulated well and the movements in between change of scenes wa quite smooth. I thought it quite well produced if the target audience were mainly students (as was evident from the largely student turnout on that day) despite the "scathing review" on Life, as Jason puts it. Shakespeare on Love is basically a combination of 6 plays on love by Shakespeare. Personally, I enjoyed the Love at First Fight, for its witty verbal exchange between the lead, who eventually (yes we saw it coming) fall in love under a deviously hiarious trick worked up by their friends. Othello was disappointing, I expected more fury and stage presence from the Moor. The parody of the play within the play was really funny, because of the role inversion. The guys from my class really dressed up. HAHA. We ended about 10 plus, so Seren Chao and I boarded a bus to Central and bought some food from BK, before we took a train home.

Friday was Sports Carnival! Aiming and I were the first ones to arrive at CCAB from our class, everyone else was late because of the massive jam. And we got our class shirts! (: It's like Vista - simple, stunning and sensational. Hehheh. I like. Played modified handball, for like what 5 minutes. We lost, I guess cos we were mainly a girl dominated class and not very sporty to begin with. Junior class is really nice and friendly, they kept coming over to support us. Quite rahrah bunch, we lunched with them at coral with our traditional lemon chicken rice, filled up the whole room in fact. Binni popped by for awhile. I think our chattering had to pay a price, this security guard came over and told us to pipe down, if not he would complain to our secondary school.

Friday evening was quite scary actually, I think something needs to be done asap to prevent any futher incidents. But due to my constant practice of self -censorship, my fingers shall type no further. I thank God for understanding friends, who are always there to catch me if I fall. And perhaps one day the reason for all these shall be revealed to me - hopefully it's not too late by then.

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful" - Buddha.

I'm still grateful I'm alive.

On random notes, the homosexuality talk was quite interesting hahaha. Despite the fallacies in the argument of the Buddhist monk, as Mrs Hoe sharply pointed out to us blind and deaf students. Lol. And certain incidents happening around school, which has made the situation a little awkward. Do watch boyceavenue on youtube, they have awesome acoustics and a really smooth voice!

I think that she knows, I think that she knows.

Game rules:A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag 8 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse.B. These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people.

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Well, honestly, I'd like to think that my lover would be above that, but I guess I'd BMW about it majorly.

2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?
Talk less to the person, and if I do talk, talk about random unrelated stuff.

3. What will your dream wedding be like?
Probably in church or like CHIJMES or a breezy outdoor area with white canopies playing our favorite songs, in the company of my bestest friends and family members. Simple and classic. And i want helium balloons at my wedding so I can release it afterwards. Cheap thrills. AND the bouquet of flowers should land in Fishy's hands, HAHA. Hopefully I won't arrive late for my own wedding.

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Totally. As much as we can set direction in our lives, there is a bigger more powerful presence above us, and we may not necessarily obtain what we want, or at least in the way we expect it. I guess all's well that ends well?

5. What's your ideal lover like?
To impose any form of expectations is not fair to the other party, because love should have no expectations. But I would prefer that he is someone whom I can relate to and understand, and who loves me back.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?
Both is equally blessed, since God bestowed everyone with both. But to love takes greater courage.

7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?
Probably. I'm quite used to waiting.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Emo about it.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
Yeah. But my lips are sealed.

10. What do you want most in life?
To understand and to be understood.
To love and to be loved with all my soul.

11. Is being tagged fun?
Depends on the questions asked.

12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?
Be really affected by it, because they betrayed my trust. Even if we reconciled, doubt I will ever regard them in the same way.

13. Who is currently the most important person to you?
Other than God and parents and besties, someone.

14. What kind of person do you think I am?
You are sympathetic, full of encouragement, efficient and gullible! Just kidding about the last part la. HAHA.

15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor?
Married and rich! Oh wait, thats not an option. I'm not sure if poor refers to the economic or spiritual sense.

16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognize you, what would you do/how would you react?
Prove my existence.

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?
Yes. But there's no denying the excitment of ambiguity.

18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?
Haha, deja vu. I leave it to God, really.

19. What type of friends do you like?
Good sense of humour (lame), offers a listening ear when I need it, and a good attitude towards life(:

20. If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?
Laugh, tell the whole about it, and remind the person that I didn't mean it.

I tag:
Fishy, Ade, Lynn, Bhart, Binni, Deb, Jacq, Joel (:
