Take a break

I’m worrying about the most unimportant things in my life now.  In fact I might be piling up too much on my plate. I just don’t want to admit it. But life is short live it to the fullest.

Right. I shall stop thinking about it. Moving on.

We’ve got a new time table now, with three days of double-blocks; double Economics on Tuesday, doubt Literature on Wednesday and double Math on Thursday. Amazing, no? Kills your brain too. And I’m sticking with Chinese, with Claire. We’re gonna rough it out this year. My days end at the same time as in the previous timetable but I seem so much busier. I have an average of 1 free block per day, Wednesday being Killer Day because I have six blocks straight.

There’s a bit of slack time for me today because I had a Geography test and Math test consecutively, and there’s nothing due tomorrow so…I’m planning out my March holidays! I actually started doing it with Claire during Math lecture today, and Kenneth was looking over and wondering how the hell could my list be so long. It’s probably because there’s only one thing on his list. No prizes for guessing.

I’m not sure if I’m over obsessing over my hair but it’s been dropping. Or I’ve been noticing it dropping. Some online sources said that you drop 50 – 100 hairs a day (from your head?) I have no idea, but it’s a scary thought. The good thing is that they said it’s part of a cycle and the hair will grow again. I’m a bit doubtful about all this. Rawr. Hair cut. Soon. 

By the way, the song Sebby was looking for is Everything, by M2M.

12.

I realized I’ve never talked about my class before.

We’re known as 09A03A, the Geog + CSE + TSD class. We have nineteen young souls. Five male, fourteen female. We rocked so much because we were literally a performing arts troupe with 9 dancers, 7 guitarists,  many singers, a kickass fashion designer, and multiple other talents. We rocked so much because we’re probably the most diverse yet bonded bunch of people you’ll ever meet. We rocked so much because we had wonderful CT reps, Gan & Cherrie, who took care of every single admin matter for us. We rocked so much because we have wonderful people like Steff and Sebby who keep us awake during lessons. We rocked so much because we get fatherly protection from QiBong (or well, at least Michy, Kenneth and Louis do). We rocked so much because we bring more than one guitar to school. We rocked so much because we all got lost in Pasir Ris, despite being a Geography class.

Point is, we rocked so, so much.

Steff, Vanessa, Cherrie, QiBong, Quynh Anh, Cheryl & Guo Jun were taken out of 09A03A today, leaving twelve of us behind.

Just remember that no matter what, we’re the Original 09A03A, and that’s all that matter.

I can never understand

Why there are silly rules in band competitions such as “all band members must be from the same school/alumni”.

Anyway.

20th Feb – D.ITN’s (real) FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY. We played at three major gigs, and got ourselves going, so cheers to us! My present to them is on LJ.

So that’s all I wanted to say.

Val’s Day :D

It’s My Day today. Thanks for the mystery gift, D.ITN. It’s bigger than most of my friends’ ones so.

RJGE sold balloons today, in a bid to raise funds for the underpriviledged children in Singapore. We made a total of $500+++, so x 2!

Went to watch RGGE’s Hongbao River performance with MF and Zhizhi on Tuesday. It was good to see everyone again. The Sec 2s have grown up so much since last year. Pity that the sound system was screwy, and the venue wasn’t really ideal. Caught up with MF over dinner; it’s been four years already, amazing how I clung on to past friendships throughout my secondary school life and now in JC I look back and realize that actually I’ve made many good new friends over the years. Four years isn’t too short a time period, and we’re still talking.

I feel sick. Something’s wrong with my stomach. I get terrible gastric pains during class and after I eat, I feel like gagging. And I’ve been getting all these dizzy spells + I’m lethargic everyday even though I sleep (relatively) early. Mm. Maybe I should eat two apples a day. Blood pressure please go up! I need something more shocking in my life.

So right, Lin Tong, Claire, I am not on the Make A Wish scheme! I am not dying, yet. At least. But it did hit me, what if I just left, *snap* like that, one fine day. Would anyone care, really. And should I make a will? I do have many guitars… I really don’t know. This concept of dying, it’s so…distant, yet it seems possible. I had a close encounter with Death about a month ago, while going home. I Jielun-walked across this road, and I started in front of a bus so I had no idea what the traffic was like. This car just zoomed past as I stuck my head out from in front of the stationary bus, and instinctively, I took a step back. Was pretty traumatized for a while, then I promptly forgot about the incident. When I was younger, there was this senior in my school who passed away due to some heart condition. A friend of mine kept telling me that I might face the same fate as her. She was 12. Then there was ______. Passed away at 15. I’m 17 now, and I’m still living my days with space to regret, thinking that everything’s going to stay the same forever. Well it’s not. And I need to change that way of thinking. But no really, I don’t think I’ll leave that soon. I have sooooooooooooooooooo much unfinished business.

Take 5 tomorrow; bringing my guitar so that we can all sing and have our own little talentime. Mm. Looking out for Titus’s Stand-Up as well, good luck to him! Then a belated birthday dinner for Maylyn the Adult. Tomorrow’s gonna be a good day.

Pareto’s Optimal

Definition: The only way a person’s welfare cane be improved is to lower another person’s welfare.

In my case I take it as, if something good happens, something bad will happen as well. If there’s something that makes you deliriously happy, there will be something that makes you sad in the next few days. It’s all to do with the cosmic forces of the universe. In other words, you win some, you lose some.

It annoys me how nowadays I don’t have the patience to sit down and write anything anymore. Yet everyday I feel that there’s always something blogworthy.

Life has pretty much fallen into a routine. I can’t say if I like it or not, because on one hand it gives me security but it takes the fun out of most things. I’m turning into a mugger mogul, and due to the proximity between the school and my home, I have an extra five hours a week to mug while waiting for my brother to finish school as well. But the school campus is so huge and conducive, I don’t even feel like going home most of the time. :O And my classmates are the funkiest bunch of people, despite most of our clashing personalities. Everyone’s pretty easy to talk to and scandalize and there’s this sudden surge of something called Class Spirit in me. Something I’ve never felt before. :O

Yep so this is yet another one of my rants about how wonderful school is now and yes I should take it to be ninja training, as said by Peaelle. But one day I’d really love to go down to SP with Shii just to check things out there and see what I’m missing.

Big big shout out to Stanley and Xin Er! Happy 17th birthday you two!
