Relieved?

Installation yesterday! It felt so good to be relieved of all that responsibilities but yet, I feel kinda empty? Not too sure what I'm feeling now. Life without CCA sure sucks.

Why are humans so weird? We keep complaining about what we had to do but when these are taken away from us, we feel lost. Lost to the extent that we actually want to turn the clock back and wished that we could had spent time more fruitfully.

Phew. The new EXCO has finally been formed. Another step towards my retirement! Oh wait hold on. This sounds kinda familiar. Oh I know! I had the exact same feeling 2 years back in NPCC! Gosh how time flies. 1 year ago, I was still feeling stressed about my appointment into Interact EXCO and now, I can finally slowly let go. It feels great to have someone share your responsibilities and saikang!

Mayday today! And half a year to A's! Life's gonna be boring without CCA. I shall treasure my remaining time in Interact! Jiayou 25th! 2 more events and we will be through! I had already marked down 29th May on my calendar by the way. And now, the countdown begins.

We love school. Really!

Ok so I am back to this semi-dead blog. Somehow I've lost interest in blogging. I could still remember the blogging craze then. Everyone was like rushing to set up a blog but soon, one left after another.

Blocks! It seemed like so long ago. The nightmare has only started now. It's time to see how badly we screwed the papers. 3 reasons why I hate blocks.
1. Before: Need to mug like crazy and thus, burned my March hols. "Sian how many chapters more?"
2. During: Need I say anything else? "Shit, wth is this question talking about?"
3. After: The feeling of being uber-screwed. "Ok now I am screwed."

Got back H3 and Math so far. H3 was erm better than expected? 39/100 but I was expecting like 20+. So I guess I should be glad =.=

I guess I really need to work harder for blocks 2. I know some people will kill me for saying this, but I think this kind of results is not good enough. I need my A's argh. And OMG I suddenly remembered our fav subject, PW. I better get an A for that or else I can go die already, to put it crudely.

Totally feeling sian now cos there's nothing much to do after blocks. For the first time, I managed to finish all my tutorials beforehand HAHA.

Crazy crazy week and even more crazy to come! Banner painting on Monday till 6+ (though some of them left at 10), H3 on Tuesday, CCA Exhibition on Wednesday (talk until mouth dry), Commserve on Thursday and H3 again on Friday. Super exciting but at the same time tiring. And I guess next week's gonna get worse.

Since next Friday is CNY celebrations, next Thursday will be running Friday's timetable. So my schedule for next week looks something like this. Commserve on Monday, H3 on Tuesday, most likely some Interact stuff on Wednesday and H3 again on Thursday. And if you think Friday's gonna be slack, you are damn wrong. Some 40 elderly are coming over to hwachong on Friday to watch our celebration and we Interactors have to entertain them. By entertain I mean play games with them, watch performances with them, eat with them and drink with them. Not to mention the tons of preparation needed prior to Friday itself since I am in-charge of food and souvenirs. Ultimate saikang.

Now whoever said Interact is for girls only? And to those who think we are a slack CCA, think again. Do you know how hard we the ExCo work to organise events? And again how hard is it to answer to teachers like holy? Trust me, you wouldn't want to be in my shoes. At least NPCC's a "recognised" CCA even though it's also full of saikang and idiotic teachers like the one who isn't really tall.

And this brings me to another point. Who is to judge which CCA is busy and which CCA is not. Unless you are in that CCA itself, you wouldn't know what they are busy with and how busy they are. So what if Interact is a Club CCA. It doesn't mean anything right? I especially HATE it when people say things like "you are in Interact?!?!". Well I guess most people have the perception that people in club CCAs are those geeky and nerdy type who are not active at all. If you think that way, I am so sorry but you are terribly wrong. Though I am not that fit, I think I still can get gold for NAPFA? I got 29/30 last year by the way. And Interact's full of fun fun people. I should know cos everyone in OCIP Batam is cool ttm.

Yes, sports or musical people may have trainings like everyday but what I believe is everyone has to commit to their CCAs. Once you chose it, there's no turning back. If I wasn't resilient, I would had given up on NPCC long ago. You have to realise how hard it is to struggle 2 parades (and academics, which I am not good at) per year during my Sec 2 and 3 days. FYI, parades means external parades. Trainings usually start a few months prior to the date itself. Unlike the lousy school national day celebrations which has only like 2 rehearsals? And of cos, not to mention dealing with ExCo work in Sec 3 and 4.

Oh well. I said my piece. Feel free to rebut. I just had to get this off my chest somehow.

Give me a Break!

Class party at Zeke's last Friday! His rooftop is really nice. I arrived just as they were setting up the makeshift BBQ pit. After checking out who else is already there, I joined Ben and Gao Tian in fanning the flame up (erm, is there such a term?) Anyway, took some time to really get the flame going. It was at times hilarious to see the flame dying away after we shifted some charcoal here and there. But at times it could get irritating as well. In the end, we settled for 2 fire spots (instead of the intended 4) although both were concentrated towards the right side.

Anyway, the first batch of hotdogs were really screwed cos the charcoal pieces weren't placed properly and some actually came into contact with the hotdogs. After adjusting the charcoal, another problem arose. Since the flame was concentrated to the right, it meant that those hotdogs on the left were taking a longer time to cook. Thus, those at the right became a bit burnt. This pattern was to be repeated for subsequent batches of hotdogs and chicken wings .__.

After eating some of the stuff we BBQ-ed and camwhoring a bit, I laid down and sort of stargazed while enjoying the light breeze. With the speakers playing nice music just beside me, I swore I could had fallen asleep! Talked to Joy a bit and I attempted to teach her how to play the "4-6-4-6" game (the actual name is Playman Summer Games 3) on my handphone. When the iTouch fails you and goes out of battery, it's time to fall back on this game that was sooooooooo popular when we were in Sec 4. =D But erm let's just say I wasn't a good teacher and Joy didn't really succeeded in completing the game. HAHA!

Overall, it was quite a great way to relax, especially after such a looooooooong week. Recruitment interviews on Monday, H3 on Tuesday and Friday and Interact on Wed and Thur. And what's worse, this pattern is to repeat itself for the upcoming week, only that I will have banner painting on Monday instead. Not to mention all the sickening tutorials that are getting more and more cheem. Bleh.

The good old days

Ok I know I tweeted about this just now, but not everyone has Twitter. So yea...

Was clicking through the messages on my old phone this afternoon. Suddenly I realise how much more friends I had in sec 4 who texts me. And that's not even the peak period! I remember in sec 2, I can easily send over 1k messages. At that time, there was no such thing as unlimited SMSes for student plan so I always got scolded by my mom. But as I moved on to upper sec and subsequently college, I realised that sometimes I even find it hard to hit 500 messages although I got unlimited now.

Life's so unpredictable. It's like back in sec 2, I was trying very hard to keep within the 1k limit but right now, I am trying to send as many as I can. A drastic turn of events, don't you think?
