Yesterday night, I was doing my homework, and also busy making plans for the weekend. And here it is, but first...
Sigh...there are like 3 projects on our hands now- SS documentary, Physics magship, and the english bookclub discussion. Lots of work to do! And somehow I am receiving extensions for all of them due to various reasons- group members going for competitions, members down with flu... Yep, and that isnt a good thing, cos next week is a CCT week! (= need to mug!) Oh ignore that thing which looks like a smiley, haha. The next few weeks will be busy ones...

Today, I will be going over for the SE-arch Party briefing, so that I will be informed and can also let the rest, who are mostly at Camperama, know. Haha, it is going to be fun! And then after the briefing, I will be going over to jian wei's house to do, i mean COMPLETE, our SS documentary. Yep, we will need to submit it soon, very soon. Really much more to be done. (which explains why we are doing it even at night)

And after I get over the crazy possible stayover for ss doc, I will have to get home and work on the magship report! Hope that wont take too long, cos on that same day, I will also somehow have to re-read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and mug for Maths! haha. And then on Monday, we will have to do the actual book club discussion, take another day to edit everything, and then submit on wednesday.

Well, Im not the only busy one, so I better get over this. Haha. Thanks for reading my crap. =)

Ok Im so not supposed to be blogging now, but whatever. Im supposed to be writing a geog essay now, but Im tired. I spend so much time on a geog essay, researching, typing, writing, printing...and in the end, I dont know what I get out of it, hm...and I really spend lots of time on it...sigh...dunno whether I should be thinking like this but, my time isnt so cheap...I have other places to spend it on, why should I be spending it on geog essays? I like geog, but essays just make me lose interest sometimes...

Or maybe its the work, been getting so much work these days. And pressure is coming at me from so many angles, even maybe from the inside? Why...I feel overloaded, as if everything is out to squash me flat. SS and physics pt...even philo...and english...shant go into the depressing details...

Oh well, maybe its time now for a small segment to give myself some confidence and hope? Lol, here goes: So what if all those nonsense are coming at me? I WILL crush them like some insect. And how do I do that, by learning more about them, and giving my best in everything I do! As the chinese say, 知己知彼白战败胜, so well I will fight to the end. I can do anything I want, cos its my life and nobody can control it. I do what I like, I condemn what I hate and I get what I want. Nothing is going to stand in my way!

Ok thats all, haha. Oh and from 2 posts ago, another thing being taken away...our slot in the yearbook for the sec 4 classes to express ourselves. Thats really sux.

Haha dont be alarmed, I just received a letter from mindef, telling about early enlistment for NS...not that I will be la, just informing that I can apply for it. Haha Im going to RJ ok... so it just serves as a reminder that Im growing old, and I will be going for NS soon...lol For the guys, did anyone else receive yours? =D

The end of the second week of school...and one phrase comes to mind...things are being taken away...

There are just so many things...one of them must be...sleep? Ok this one is rather usual, not too bad I guess...but dunno why I just sleep later everytime...must try to set a limit for myself...=)

Then there are other things like maybe teachers? Haha for some reason, my class had 3 relief teachers teaching us this week. Maths teacher gone to accompany some students at a competition, Bio teacher is mentoring a group of primary school kids for an international competition too, while our English teacher has already been MIA since the start of the year. But I mean, not all relief teachers are bad...like our relief maths teacher Mr Lai teaches well, Im quite surprised that I can do integration! It might not mean much, but for a relief teacher, I must say he has done a good job! =) But he is only staying with us for this week..

And then for English, its Mr Tan. He is quite ok, has quite a good personality, and can control the class decently haha. I mean, he is an old boy afterall...so he gets things across to us, which is good. A lot better than our fourth one... (haha so you know how many we've had) He will be leaving in a few weeks too.

And then..our relief bio teacher... Sorry but I dont think he is doing that well. Compared to Mrs Lim, he is teaching really slowly, and his explanations arent really that good...also, everything somehow seems incomplete, like the information he is teaching isnt covering everything... and I dont think he controls the class that well too. But to be fair, I've only had 1 of his lesson so far, and he looks more like the quiet type of ppl...

Oh and...Im kinda screwing up my chemistry...just got back our papers, and it was badly done. Almost failed. So sad. Dont know how ppl, can srsly do so well in chem, I find the amount of things that need to be remembered...really a lot...periodic table trends, then quantitative analysis and reactivity series...yea, and if I put in enough time to think for each question...I will have a difficult time finishing it...tell me wad to do! =)

And then after the sad and attitude chem lesson, Bennah, Teng Chuan, Douglas and I we went to have lunch together at subway! But then after buying my food, my stomach had some problems again (like in the HMT prelim...?) Yep, so didnt feel very well, but was still happy for that nice food and great company. And then after that I went to Bennah's house for geog tourisn project. Lol, to write about where we visited, the discovery centre. It was quite interesting there, cos many things were happening for them, haha so I had no trouble staying awake. =D And there was also lots of food there! Thanks! Im fat. haha

Ok so bennah and his dad kindly fetched me to the mrt, and then from there, I stared at the mrt system map, deciding how to get home. I could just take it back home the usual boring way...or I could wander around and try a new way! And, thinking that my life now just reeks of boredom, I decided to see where my instincts brings me.

I took the mrt, and alighted at kembangan, partially also because hiok yang lives nearby, so I might be able to find a fast way home. And I just walked around, looking for some directions...people who actually noticed me would have immediately identified me as a lost person, lols. But anyway, I walked around the whole mrt until Im sure there isnt a way home, then I just walked straight, following under the mrt tracks. I passed...a bus stop...then 2...then 3...until I saw a familiar road...marican road. Haha yay. And so I was pretty sure I knew the way, and just walked in, trying to find the 'landmark' lols. (orienteering skill!) Haha, and I also gave hiok a call just to tell him I was around the area, but think he was still at school...oops should I have said that? haha.

And then, from there onwards its just memory more than instincts, and im on my way home on the bus! Tried to keep awake and read my book for the english book club discussion, but haha couldnt, and fell asleep... Woke up a few stops before mine, and haha im home! =D Looks like instincts can go a long way! (i dont mean it took very long, cos i think i saved a bit of time actually...) haha! Im learning from wat Mrs Lim (principal) said last time, about taking another way to your destination, and you might make some discoveries. Haha, I might not have discovered anything, but at least, it was a journey which added some colour to my day! =)

If it was a normal school term, I would have started the post like this: One word "tiring". But (thankfully?), there comes the H1N1 outbreak, which currently has infected...about 700+ people in Singapore, from what i hear. Lol, but anyway, in this time of 'danger', our school still refuses to close, but has put in place quite a number of measures to ensure our safety. And this safety, I think, includes the preventing us from dying from our workload. Yep, so thats one side of it.

The other side of the story: My first week started off on Sunday, the day before the first day of school. You could call it last minute work, or you could call it last minute fever, but our group for Greenwave, Mervyn, Dominic, Ben Chin, Teng Chuan and I, were rushing to finish our book. Everything from the writing to the formatting, printing and book binding. And so, that night, I slept at about 3 am...O_O Not exactly what I would call a decent night's sleep before the start of term.

The first day was fine, it was really nice to see all my friends back in school and catching up with them. Ok, maybe except the part where I felt like sleeping again. So, then came the Blessing/Curse in disguise...dont know which it is. So, we got an extension for the greenwave project from Dr Chionh! She criticised everything from top to bottom. And then gave us 1 more week. So, as you should have guessed by now, my first week was kinda...busy.

Im NOT blaming the greenwave project nor my fantastic group members, but just saying Im a teeny bit tired. For the next few days, I have been trying to finish up homework and catching up with stuff, also busy with some of the misc. stuff like filing for some of the subjects, and oh yea essays. So my sleeping time, from about 1+am got delayed to about 3+ every night, and there was one night I slept at about 4.30am...the time between wednesday and thursday, which was to research more and rush edit our book before we sent it for printing. (it was rejected because it was 'unprofessionally done')

On Thursday, I needed to edit the greenwave book again, and after that, go for a CIP meeting with the committee, and so it was a work-after-school kinda day. And the meeting ended at about 9+pm, so it was leaving me feeling really shagged. =( Only had 1+ hours of sleep, and then out schooling and working till 10pm...Yep, so it got kinda worse when I reached home, but I still managed to start to do sme work. Soon, Jim went to sleep, but I was still there, but the next thing I remember was waking up in the morning and realising that I fell asleep unwillingly...ang my work was still halfway done, on the com. But I didnt think so much, and just printed that out haha. Eventually maanaged to finish betfore the lesson, haha.

It wasnt really that much about how falling sleeep unknowingly disrupted my school work, but really, more about how my sleeping situation is getting worse. Its starting to freak me out... Yea so, I will try to do something about this! =)

Oh and in case you were wondering why I mentioned greenwave so many times, its probably because of all the effort the group has put in for this book, and the fun I've had in the process. Yes, ite tedious...but its fun, and we are all rather motivated to finish this and do a good job! =D Haha, so thanks so much greenwave peeps. You have been so so wonderful. Hope we continue this! And as Mr Koh says, "we only want the top!" Haha

Other than the greenwave peeps, of course there are also other friends, who are so nice! Sending smses to ask about me, and reminding me to sleep early, etc. Haha! =) Thank you so much! They are really really nice to see, esp while Im on my way home after a long day and a short night... I appreciate them! =) Just apologise if I cant seem to be fee and cant see you guys sometimes though...=(

People of all types exist in the world I guess.

Note: this is messy because Im falling asleep again...sorry ! =(
