gone with the wind

oh man, last night i slept from 10 to 12. not 10pm to 12 midnight, but 10 pm to 12 noon. 14 hours ownage. and would have slept more if my mum hadn’t bought brunch and decided to wake me up to eat.

and there goes the september hols.

because there’s lots of work left.

left, right, left II

it’s

having a camp immediately after another
burning out 5 days of your sept hols
marching two hours in the sun and turning chao ta
having post-ssc highness

it’s part c camp.

survived two camps, finally its over. missed two re lessons, missed 1 OIP prep, missed bravo 4, and more. now my house has become some camp. let’s see:

24 - 30 aug | boarding
31 aug | home
1 - 3 sept | amoy quee
3 sept night | home
4 - 5 sept | school
6 - 9 sept | home
10 - 20 sept | Changchun
21 sept - 5 oct | boarding

that’s like 4-half days at home in about 2 months. sia la.

[i.need.sleep.]

left, right, left

it’s about

everyone having the same disgusting, stinky, unwashed-for-two-courses blankets
sleeping on sponge mattresses that flake off
40 plus people squeezing into the same small toilet of 4 cubicles
sleeping at 11 and waking at 5.30
shaking the bed at night o.O vigorously, no?

it’s about

having bag check for camera phones and them not checking your pockets
doing random drills and getting scolded together
doing cheers while marching up and down the same avenue 10 million times
turning the wrong way and snaking back the correct way (special mention: lingxi! :P)
having introductions on the last day
sitting in the MPH listening to lectures or rather, sleeping through them
listening to radio from the canteen and MPH speakers
getting the same uniform wet 4 times in 3 days
walking in the heavy rain with a pathetic small umbrella and
watching a nice comfy bus drive past filled with people, of the opposite sex, smiling cheerfully

it’s about

getting that oh-so-coveted red-white lanyard
the rank with a crab in the middle
the cert with your name

it’s being in BRAVO 4
it’s Senior Specialists’ Course.

it’s good to be back

I’m back from boarding (finally!) and the one week of boarding was way more than enough to make me appreciate home. I just don’t like boarding and the prep time and the roll calls and the smell (my room stinks) and the space (our rooms are small…) and the food and more. okay, i probably am exaggerating but i don’t like boarding. I WANNA GO HOME!!! and stay home. bleh.

September hols are here (finally!) and i’m totally dead-ed. Let’s take a look at how i’m going to die:

September Holidays
Mon-Wed: SSC
Tue: ‘The Perfect Gentlemen’ Grooming Course & OIP preparation
Thu-Fri: Part C Camp
Fri: Presentation of OIP and Meeting of RG for OIP
Sat: John Crowe Course (yay no need to go! - went before)

English Blog (due tomorrow! ahhhh!)
English Advocacy Reflections (redo)
Chinese Bao Zhang [memorise!]
History File Check
Math Assignment
CLE Project
SS Project

T4W1
Mon: Biology Quiz on Monday [Transport in Man]
Mon: Math TA on Tuesday [ws 6 of circle properties]
Wed: Start of OIP

Seems like i have as much time as there is space in my boarding room. Simply splendid.

but then again, i’m back home.

because september holidays have been redefined.

200m sprints

and Usain Bolt just did it again. 19.30. previous record was 19.32.
oh, and it’s his 22nd birthday tomorrow. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOLT!

and poor mr.no3 was disqualified.

and i should be studying bio.

time is of the essence

and i don’t know why i’m blogging. been busy-er than ever, but i’ll survive. lots of things coming up/gone, but everything’s going so fast i don’t even have time to slow down and think for a minute. dinner today was awesome simply because it was homecooked! (by my eldest brother!) okay, just a list of things:

-mathCCT - failed
-boardmeeting - wasabi cake. (lucky i didn’t have to eat it.)
-ncc
-bioPractical - ‘you cut me open and i keep bleeding love…’ heart dissection.
-bioCCT - will fail
-physicsPractical - don’t even know what’s tested.
-ssc
-SWIMMING!!!! - da bomb.
-PTM 2 - omg. my mum is ‘going’! she never goes. ever.
-boarding…T.T this sunday. no more msn. T.T for 6 weeks.
-physicsCCT - shuttup daron
-teachers day celeb - i’m in the comm and i’m not contributing.
-sept hols!!! - i’ll be looking forward.
-part c camp - god knows what’s in store.
-OIP - changchun
-DMP

okay, that’s just about what happened/will happen. pretty packed. i need to survive but i know it will get worse. gah.

because my bed beckons me but ‘essential biology’ is going to kill me if i don’t give it some attention.

I <3 RI

thanks for another relief teacher! so that means we have now 3 math teachers in less than 3 terms. amazing right? and it’s like, my grades are so high already, another relief teacher would just pull it up! i mean like, we have so little relief teachers, i lost count! all the other classes have 10 times more relief teachers than us la, so we should be happy that we have so little right?

rrright. fyi, that means we have had 19 teachers in all. for 10 subjects. OWNAGE. <33333 oh, if you count a one day relief teacher, we would have at least 20. now i can go around and say “hah! i bet i have more teachers than you do.”

because i have been doing erp with a headache since morning and now i have to mug math.

THANK YOU twoKians for getting the super cute soft toy and the cake. not to mention the specially bought strawberry cake. I totally wasn’t expecting it la.

(as usual haha) and he wasted one whole big slice on the floor. tsk tsk. and then i went to the toilet to clean off some bits on my uniform and after i went back, mervyn smashed a specially bought strawberry cake into my face. and i went back to the toilet.

chasing dreams

Today, I failed. Or rather, I thought I failed. History sucked. Wrote super short. I know I could have written way more but I just didn’t have the inspiration. Knew I could have done better. But well, I’m more or less over it and I’m happy already. I should be contented with my other grades.  It’s only after you lost it that you know how hard you wanted it.

because to say i wasn’t disappointed is a lie.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that your missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

This is totally unrelated, but I love this song. (The Man Who Can’t Be Moved - The Script)
