2:59 PM

Finally home resting after such a happening week.
Tuesday was stepping down, or uninstallation of 33rd for morning assembly. Quite sad for me and I'm sure for many, for all the memories we had. If I went on, it'd be full of cliches, but it's true - the best things in life are often cliches. Naturally, Shan cried after which kind of had a domino effect. Then camwhoring outside SCC with our Coveted Golden Badge, as Piong puts it, with wings and omg I like the photo we got. Really good lighting, and we all look so happy (:
At night, it was the 34rd Installation so I did first reading. Very nervous, nearly had heart attack cos I thought I was late (Dejavu to 2007) but thank God no. Met alot of IJ juniors who are now councillors in NJ and TJ. Smart-asses, all of them. It's nice to know some things remain unchanged in a world that is constantly changing. But went home earlier and couldn't join Toon and Cherie and the rest for Island Creamery :/ Bus ride home was a little pensive, now that we are officially uncouncillors. No more CA room, no more talk male hen sessions, guffaws of laughter during feeding time, Mr Yeow's outbursts of hilarity, Mrs Leong's motherly acceptance of our irrationality, Salim getting distracted while trying to coordinate meeting. Needs a little getting used to.
Thursday was Racial Harmony Day. Embarrasingly, I was the only one who wore my costume on the bus. Really panicked when everyone else was in half-uni, thought I had the day wrong. Even John from IG27 didn't recognise me. Haha. And felt really proud of him when he said he wanted to be Facil next year. Most of my classmates dressed up, which was heartening, but they changed back for the lectures, which was not so heartening. Boo.
Friday and Satuday was Retreat. AWE-SUM. Group mates unexpectedly alot of guys (waa this is like Singapore Sports School without the girls hor *miah the facil*)- but they were really funny. Especially John the converted racist with all his wise-unwise cracks on a certain ethnic group. And Mark and Nigel trying to restore his former conditions. Girls are really nice too, kind of know them but not on a personal level. Was actually quite irritated cos I was the only one from my class attending, but oh well. Made lots of new friends whom were initally acquaintances which is good. Roommates nice too. I thought the sessions were definitely simple yet effective, not the full-blown mind-draining sort but light. Plus the whole movements around at night. Boys will be boys eh. Not to mention the girls too, whom I almost walked into next morning, sound asleep along the extended block corridor. Haha. I thought the reconciliation was good, cos I never could imagine pouring out my entire sobstory to a complete stranger. Somehow got the courage to write your name and yours on the paper to burn it. Wonder what goes on in your head, maybe should just give you the benefit of the doubt. I just told God, everytime in His time and part of His plan. Anw Fripps already said not to worry too much.
Jason very sweet, got us all personalised self-inking stamps as our parting CA gift. He spends money like my dad uses water at home. Gosh. Miss CA alot ):
Sunday today, school tmr.

and you know the part where your passion and God's will intersects , well that's God's plan for you.
