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.

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.

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

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?

In general, these holidays had been rather well-spent. Not only did I caught up with my HK trip friends (though I only went for 1 of the 3 outings), I also had a really fun time in Interact. This OCIP Batam is the perfect example. If there's any regrets, I would only regret not playing basketball more frequently and not doing homework diligently. OH I KNOW! This could be my New Year resolutions! Speaking of which, I haven't really thought over it yet. So here it is.

1. Do homework more diligently.

2. In relation to #1, cut down on play time.

3. Give my all for Interact for the next half a year.

4. Mug earlier for Block tests and prelims.

5. Try to workout at least twice a week.

Ok I can't think of anything else. Shall add more when I can think of it =D.

And yea, I am so gonna screw my Math test haha.

As I lay in bed last night, I realised how time really flies. In just a few days time, I will be leaving for Batam and when I come back, school starts in 3 day's time. And when school starts, it's back to the same old routine again. HOMEWORK! ARGH! I really need to start chionging now!

Oh well. Would probably not be blogging anymore till I come back. See ya.

One day, a giant found his way to the dwarf's house and demanded that the dwarf give up his comfy little chair. The dwarf, being plump and clumsy, was obviously no match for the gigantic giant who easily tower over him. Without hesitation, he jumped out of his seat and ran to hid in a corner.

Meanwhile, the giant tried to fit into the little chair but failed. However, just as he was about to give up, he had a brainwave. He dismantled the whole chair and built it in such a way that it fitted him. Pitying the dwarf, he let the dwarf stay in his own house and they lived happily ever after. Erm, maybe not quite, cos the dwarf has to sit in a corner everyday and of cos, he couldn't work at all. Oh well, you get the idea.

Ok lame story. But actually, the dwarf in my story is my old, CRT TV set and the giant is actually a new 42-inch flat-screen TV set. The TV set of cos sits on top of a TV console and not a comfy little chair but I did not dismantle the TV console. But yeah, there was much shifting of stuff to make way for this giant. And now, it sits proudly on the TV console while the old TV sits solemnly in a corner, awaiting its destiny. Next step: Try to get used to the new TV.

Was watching the Grand Finale of Singapore Idol on it just now. Damn cool (yes, I know I am a bit suah koo =.=). Anyway, Sezairi won. Though I don't really support anyone, both my sisters are Sylvia fans. They tried to convert me into a Sylvia fan though. But oh well. I just thought it might be more interesting if there's, for once, a female Singapore Idol.

Pretty much nothing happened today. Just the usual stuff and more chionging of homework. Maybe I should had gone for the class Genting trip. They seemed to be having fun there, according to Joy's tweets. But then, I wouldn't have time to finish up my work before Batam and worse, I would miss my final briefing on Tuesday. Oh well. Maybe next time =(
