329th POST! :D
I don't care about how inactive i am as a blogger. But, i just have a sudden urge to blog, to remember today and so that i can refer to this post in the future and reminiscence the memorable times i had for the first half of the year this year, 2011.
Let me recall about today's activity. We had lessons as usual until 12.15pm. 31/11 decided to eat lunch together at Bishan. We met up at the foyer and had a long time finding an eatery whereby we can fit everyone in, furthermore, at the peak hour, lunch time. So we ended up splitting up due to time constraint. At 2pm, we gathered together again and took the circle line to Nicoll highway station. 1.5km walked to the gathering point. 3.30pm: The guys started their Xcountry run. Few mins later, it was the girls' turn. We just started not long ago, many of the guys were already completed 3 quarter of their run. Amazing. And yes, i did 4km more than what majority of the girls ran, 3km. I proud of myself that i could run 4km without walking for long! (though i did walk with Jean) Completed it within 30mins. Three cheers for everyone :D After Xcountry, the entire class, except 3 of them who could not join us today, walked to Marina Square and we settled at Just Axia. (Somebody booked and reserved for us :D) It was really worth it, much better than other food restaurants. We only need to pay for our dishes and at 5% GST charge, with free flow of ice-cream and drinks. WOOTZ. But did get to eat a lot of the ice-cream anyway. &I think i am getting fatter): I could not even breathe to the fullest when i'm wearing my school skirt after having a heavy meal): oh nooo~ and my flabby... it's like :( . ah, anyway back to the day's event. Mr Kevin Tan joined us as well, he treated some of us (but not me ): ), it's alright, because i had enjoyed the food very much. And the entire restaurant was filled with mostly AJCians. HAHA, we owned that place! After dinner, it was around 8.30pm. Some of them went home already, the remaining 10+ of us decided to stay back and had some moments with one another. Walked to the nearby place near the Marina Bay Sands and floating platform. We formed a circle and just sat down and started chatting even though there were few tourists over there. Guess it was alright. HOWEVER, while we were chatting, there was this lady (KPO), took a picture of us! I'm sure she took us as the flash was in our direction and she just turned away immediately after that. [Coward, seriously] Wonder whether she'll do anything to the photo, curse her man. We're not even doing anything harmful or smoking or drinking alcohol there. After awhile we didnt care about her, anyway we did nothing wrong. Throughout the chat session, it was all about g_o_t stories ): Initially was Jerome talking about it, he really made it up himself. *LAUGHS* He failed to scare us anyway. Then it was JunWei telling about some stories. They were freaking scary. It was really creepy and everything. JunYang talked about his schoolmate's experiences as well. In the end, all the things went into my ears were like accumulating the fear buried inside me, and tears just dropped uncontrollably. Just felt scared and let it out. >.< so embarrassing anyway. haha. After all the stories, even the guys were scared! Oh no, can you imagine how eerie it was? Then we went home by separate ways at the MRT station. Those who missed the tensed up moments, too bad for you haha. On the way home with ZL, i was still quite scared. Just feel like reaching home as soon as i can. After reached home, i felt like i'm in the extremely safe zone. I felt home <3
Today was really fun. I like 31/11 more and more each and every day. They were an amazing and superb class, who are supportive of one another and majority of them are all friendly and thoughtful. Not forgetting, there must always be jokers in class to lift up the high-spirit of the class :D I LOVE THEM ALL!
This is also the FIRST TIME in my life that i am really committed to school events, e.g. Cross Country, which i also enjoyed and had loads of fun. It's much better than in secondary school, when we start to plan to skip the events and moan about it.
Life is different as from the past.
2011, starting of the year, we got out post-school results. Got into CJC, went for the orientation. Meantime, i appealed to AJC. ZL and I just felt that we made the wrong 2nd choice therefore we decided to appealed to AJ. Luckily, after the interview with the principal, we managed to get it together. It was the FIRST interview ever in my life. It was not that scary anyway, it's just like some chat with a stranger but obviously with a higher status. It was alright afterall.
Then after we chose our subjects combination, orientation starts. I remembered that was after CNY. OG 31 was fun, had dance, games and the first friend i made was Jean, then Sharon. Got along well with the two of them, love them<3 It was an awesome class. All the people are friendly. After that, lessons started and everything, we got to choose our CCA or go for trials. As i got into the school late, all the trials are over, and i realised that i do not have any music background neither am i that good in certain sports. Hence, i signed up for Student Council. I gone through interview, the 2nd in my life. Even though i was nervous at first, i think at least i spoke and managed to answer those questions posed. Passed that and we're to go through campaigning and speech. The speech, again was the FIRST time ever in my life that i stood in front of a large crowd on stage, citing my words and thoughts and feelings. Even though it was a well-prepared script, i still had butterflies in my stomach. Stood calm and i spoke. I know it wasnt entertaining at all as i might afraid i could face lost of words even though i had my cue card with me. Then, a question was directed specifically at me. I was lucky that i did not go first, since there was another guy who got directed to the same question. It was impromptu, i don't even know what i was talking about, perhaps the sentences phrasing were bad, but i hope that people know what i'm trying to convey to them. Congrats to me, i had passed the nomination stage and went on to Elects. Get to make my FIRST morning assembly announcement on the podium, it was rather weird though as i found myself tip-toeing as i spoke into the Mic. Then, got to go for 2nd announcement. It was much better, and i wish i had more opportunities as i found myself concurring my fear to speak in front of the crowd. It was definitely a rare opportunity. Went for elects' camp and stuffs, that was a training camp, hence it was not that fun.
I took bio, chem, econs and maths. The workload was twice the amount of secondary school. Life was tougher, and more tiring. I really felt myself being so restless and sometimes, my brain was not working. I stoned more oftenly as well. I felt myself aging faster. How i wish 2 years would end quickly and end my JC life. It was not easy.. Moreover, this is just the 4th month of school~ Nevertheless, we had loads of fun in school, and also the school events, e.g. family day. The FIRST time in my life that my classmates and I worked together for a fun fair thing. It was really a memorable day.
Next, life is more wonderful when there is another person who is accompanying you and sharing with you the joy and laughter. I do agree that quarrellings were inevitable and it sometimes hurt a lot. I hope that there's a smoother journey as we move on, i really feel satisfied but i dont want to suffer and experience heartache.
As i could see that i had used many "FIRST" time. I totally agreed that as i came to JC, my life changed at least a bit. I learnt many things and i learnt to open myself to others and step out of my comfort zone, and yes, i am currently still learning. I hope i can be much much more better than now after i graduated from JC. I did not regret entering JC, esp. AJC for now... JIAYOU AJCians, we can do it. JIAYOU Shanice, you can do it :D
Now, it's the start of June holiday. But does it feels like? NO. Next week, there is still make up lectures and tutorials. Then, i have AB camp. It's like, 1 week of my holiday is gone ): Nevertheless, must always be optimistic! :D
