Orientation is over!!!! ): I am damn freaking sad now ): Don't wanna get back to my notes and tutorials. This is so unfair! Other schools all have longer Orientation. Y VJ NO DO THE SAME!?!?!?!?!?! But still am really grateful to have such a good time during orientation. OGLs were awesome and made quite a lot of friends with them. Not forgetting my awesome bunch of freshies. They made Orientation 10x better with all their enthusiasm. Of course, won't be able to make it without my fellow OGL partners: Sanjeev and Lexin :D They are awesome people and won't forget the times we had together, bullying the freshies and of course, bullying lexin with sanjeev.
Orientation was really a blast and I really enjoyed myself despite the annoying moments when certain school decides to be exclusive and burst one or two cheers out. *ahem*ahem* Had a great time teaching and telling the freshies what it really means to be a Victorian. Seriously, you have not truly experience Orientation unless you have gone through VJ's JCO. No one does it better than VJ, because we are awesome. Love the automatic OG cheers face-off whenever we have the time, and honestly, every year, the OG cheers are damn solid. Love Avatar and Ranbo's cheers the most. But Cyclops is pretty damn awesome, ok? We got freaking 3rd place man! Ok, in case any freshie is reading this, the 'OG C has been winning for 3 years in a row' thingy is just a lie to get you guys to work harder to make us win. HAHA! But 3rd place is pretty damn awesome already (: Can't wait for Sea Regetta and Mass Dance@ Suntec this coming friday! :D Going out with the awesome CYCLOPS! :D WOOHOO~
Since we are on the topic of freshies, their existence means that there will be lesser seats and longer queues during breaks... Argh, hate such instances, especially when you are desperate to find seats to have brunch/super early lunch because you know that you wont have time later in the day. VJ is just too small to accomodate such a huge cohort man, and the worst part is, there is no space for VJ to expand! We have an expressway behind us, KC and Nepture Court beside us and another road in front. But still, VJ is pretty damn awesome (: haha
So CT is in like 4 weeks and there are so many things to be done. Hate this... But just have to blame myself for getting into so many things. On the other hand, everything will be over by May, and then it will be chiong for A levels time. Before that, it will be the PW results. Gosh, really hope it will be good news man!

Hey there! It has been long since I last updated this space here. Can't believe how fast time had passed and now I am JC2. Gosh, really gonna dread the late night studying and stuff. I doubt I will be able to endure it anymore, especially when I have not been doing it for damn long. However, my body never fails to stay wide awake when it comes to having fun and partying all night long. Just wish that my body won't fail me when the time comes and I have to mug like a pig.
Many things had happened over the past 2 weeks. Had OGL camp when I totally lose my voice and can't speak at all, BBQ with the gang before school starts officially and Open House (love the mass dances and cheering). Lessons had begun and there are some changes to the teachers. Hope the changes are for the better *fingers crossed* Gonna have a chem test next week and I am gonna die preparing for it, because I am totally not prepared at all (especially when the stuff that you have studied for promos are all long forgotten). Just gonna pray hard that the paper is not so tough *fingers crossed again*
So I was travelling to school on 55 in the morning for Open House, and something really petty happened on the bus. To my horror, it was 2 adults fighting over something so trivial: a seat. Well, woman A was sitting on the first seat, the one right behind the bus driver, and we all know it is super small and squeezy, because it is for an adult and 1 child. But apparently, woman B wants to sit down and gave A a 'tap'. A made such a big fuss over it and claims that B whacked her. The commotion ended off really ridiculously. B walked away and A coughed out her spit and spat at A. That was really a wtf (for the record, I don't swear much, so this shows how disgusted I was at that point of time) moment. 2 grown adults fighting over a seat, and yet they handled it with such great level of maturity. I was literally shaking my head and can't be bothered by such ugly behaviour.
It was definitely not my first time witnessing such nonsensical/'mature' kind of behaviour. There are loads of video on the net showing how ugly Singaporeans can get, and the main point is some of the videos feature adults fighting over something so trivial which led to some form of racism. I admit I do make racist jokes, but that does not mean you insult their race by being so insensitive at such times of tension. I really cannot believe this is the society we are living in, and if things were to worsen, I have no idea how I am going to survive in such an ungracious society. I know it is really skeptical of me to think this way, but the future is really unpredictable. Who knows what will happen?

Happy new year guys!:D
Yup, so its a new year, a new beginning, a new start. There are so many things to look forward to this year. The best thing that is gonna happen real soon is OGL camp, and then ORIENTATION! :D Of course before that, it would be Chinese New Year. Can't wait for the awesome steamboat and the $$$. HAHA I sound really greedy huh? haha
So yesterday, I went on a shopping trip with my brother. Finally bought like stuff for CNY. Got a pair of red Everlast shoe, while my bro got a grey high cut from Everlast too. Got 2 V neck from fourskin too, total is about $155 already. Haha best part? My bro is going NS next year, which means everything is mine, because he would rarely get to wear them (: Spend the night at home listening to the top 100 countdown. Kinda expected Party Rock Anthem to be no.1 already, like it was so hot this year. Expected Grenade to be the top few too, but unlike the others, I dont really appreciate that song as much as the rest. Just aint that addicted to the song. TGIF did pretty well. What to say, it is Katy Perry. Did not expect Beyonce to be in the top10, because, as much as I love her and her songs, her songs did not seem to appeal to the crowd this time round. Oh well... Adele did pretty well too, but I always preferred 'set fire to the rain' to 'rolling in the deep'. I guess I do have a unique taste for the arts. haha
Anyway, this post is supposed to be a post to state and clarify my new year resolution that I have to fulfill by the end of 2012.
I resolute to be fitter and get all prepared for NS
Haha, yup, seeing my brother train and prepare for NS has definitely influenced me and made me feel like it is time to prepare for it. But first, I need to make sure my silver for Napha. Is not that I cant run my 2.4 or do proper pull ups, I just cant jump that far... Haha, yea, so I am counting on my discipline to stick to a work-up routine and get myself ready for NS. Hell yeah! Yep, like what I have said before, I am gonna be less ambitious this year for my resolution and aim to complete it (:

So 2011 is gonna end really soon. Yup, time to look at how this year had been. Well, instead of being all so childish like the previous years (check out those december post for the previous years) and blogged about what happened throughout the whole year again like as if I had not blogged about those incidents, I shall evaluate how this year was to me.
To me, the best word to describe this year is 'change'. A change in environment, change in routine, change in lifestyle, so much changes. It was really overwhelming at first for me to take it, but guess it got better as the year passed by. Well, honestly, things got better because I got used to how tough JC life is. It was tough going through it alone, especially when there is not much people to rely on in JC when you feel so lonely and lousy. Been through quite a lot of low points this year and glad that I made it. Life was so hectic, everything just went passed so quickly. It is so hard to hold on to what you believe in and opportunities given. Before you know it, you are the one lagging behind, trying so hard to catch up.
As harsh as 2011 sounds, I definitely learnt a lot. So much so that, I feel that I have grown throughout the span of just 1 year, so much more than my past 16 years add together. 2011 has also reiterated the cliche-and-yet-so-damn-true phrase: Change is the only constant. As much as I hate changes, 2011 taught me how to embrace them with a open heart and mind. Simply put it this way, if there is a change, it means things ain't that right as they are supposed to be. We can try to stop the change, to stand by what we believe, to fight for what we hope for, but when the change comes, there is no point ranting and go all i-hate-this-screw-this-shit kind of attitude. It ain't gonna make things better. Do yourself a favour and just accept it and make the best out of it, rather than be all so pathetic and loser.
Well, there are definitely pleasant and awesome things that happened throughout the year. MAH awesome class, those house apps who been through everything with me, house comm (especially the VA adhoc) and not forgetting the awesome OG C! You guys have been an awesome part of the first half of my JC life and made everything that I have been through worth fighting for. Never gonna forget those time that I had spent with you guys, because those memories are just god damn precious to be forgotten. Stay awesome and may you guys have an awesome 2012.
I should be looking through my 2011 new year resolutions at this point, so here it goes.
I resolute to strike a balance between play and study
I resolute to step out of my comfort zone
I resolute to explore new things
I resolute to read more and broaden my perspective
I resolute to be more sociable
I resolute to be more considerate
I resolute to keep in touch with my secondary school friends
I resolute to not do anything that will make me regret
Firstly, I swear I will not be so ambitious in 2012. Secondly, I will set a more distinct and measurable resolution.
Hmmm... 2 out of 8? Quite a failure huh? Haha yea, I mean I think I did not really do much to complete what I am supposed to do. Got to set easier ones and less resolutions, so I can stick to it during the new year.
2011 has been a year of ups and downs. Hope 2012 will be a smoother year and definitely a more fruitful one (: Happy new year people! :D

I know I have been ranting a lot about how life is so hectic now. I barely have time to do anything, and bam, the year is about to conclude. But on the other hand, I am really grateful how life is right now. Despite being all so busy with all the different nonsense to deal with, it really makes me feel that life is something not worth wasting. It taught me how to live life to the fullest and never waste a single bit, because you will just end up regretting it. It taught me how to appreciate the tiniest things in life, to the extent that when I feel empty, I know that I once had an enriching life, and when I am enriched with blessings, I will remain humble and grateful for what ever I have. Our life is always in a state of dynamic equilibrium, when you lose something and you will gain something in return. Believe it or not, life is fair, that is because it is unfair to everyone. So stop being blaming and cursing how tough life is, because you have to choice to make the best out of it. I am, and I will.

Has been awhile since I blogged. Yup, the holidays are here, but that does not mean time to slack. Have hell lot of things to do and catch up with. Life is so hectic, and that is how a year passed by so quickly without me knowing. So many things to do, yet time is so limited. Is totally like what MrK. always says 'Unlimited desires, limited resources'.
So like 2 weeks of holidays are gone just like that. Like *snap* A brief run-through of what I have done. NUH-NKF children camp last saturday, dance practice for SDD performance the whole week, SDD on thursday. Yesterday was the only day, since the holiday has started, that I had it all to myself and get some well-deserved rest.
Managed to watch Glee thanks to Vanessa. Santana is damn awesome. Best bitch of all time. HAHA Vampire Diaries is getting exciting too. Catching season 2 now. Have to cut down on it and focus more on school work more. Need to work out real soon and practise those turning techniques before Andy is back to kill us once school re-opens. But before that, will definitely get to enjoy at Indonesia for OCIP. It will be my very first time going overseas with just my friends. Yup, my parents are not following me. Hey, if Princess Jia Yan can go with her friends, without her parents, why can't I??? Yup, will be gone from 15-17. I know it is short, but I bet it will be very meaningful and memorable for me.
Just gonna keep this post short. Yup, have a great holiday (:
