My Week

Hiaz...

This week has been a short but nonetheless tiring week. I'm pretty exhausted by now even as i type in this entry. Had my first hand in lectures and tutorials this week. After my first day i said to myself, "i'm going to poly...". I was simply clueless in lessons, especially bio and lit. Everyone there was like exceptionally smart and weren't a bit loss in the tidal wave of new information and knowledge. I personally felt like going to sleep. Maybe it was because my brain couldn't handle all that info and was trying to reboot:)

After awhile it got better. My brain might have adjusted already:) Bio got clearer. Like my teacher, ms chua, who coincidently is also my choir teacher. Maths teacher, mr low is great too with all his jokes and his promised games to come. No offense to my chinese teacher, mr zhou, at all but i find it a losing battle everytime i step into chinese class. Its not the teachers fault. I mean he's great as a teacher. I guess i'm just rusty when it comes to chinese. I love mr whitby! He's an excellent irish/scottish literature teacher! There is absolutely no way to fall asleep in his lessons! Just quite sad that he only teaches H1 lit while i take a H2. At least i'll get him for the next month at least...

Homework situation wasn't so bad. Not much to do actually. Tutorial questions mostly...thankfully no esaays to write yet. Really dread writing long essays cause they require a lot of time and thought. This i dont really possess.

The highlight! CCA! Softball was really tiring but great fun. Even though pt was on the verge of killing me, i still enjoyed myself thoroughly roughing it out with the team. Surprisingly, the ache of my muscles and joints gives a great sense of satisfaction. Feel really strong now! Really looking forward for this weeks training. I'm gonna train real hard. Really want to lift up the name of NJ softball! Plis i already bought the CCA shirt:)

Choir was enjoyable too. Although we always just sing everyday we did have orientation and dinner. Got to know my senoirs better through captains ball and macs. We are going to Italy in march! Really cant wait. Gonna celebrate my birthday overseas! Hoping for a italian cake:)

hahas...thats about all in this week.

Gtg so sis can continue her presentation on the com.

Adieus,

Awakening (Updates)

I'm back! From what it seems to have been a long vacation.

Need to update my profile. I've been accepted into NJC. By DSA actually. Through the choir. Well, i'm in OG13. The best OG around in NJ. Credit goes to all the members in the class and hugely to the OGLs who made orientation such an enjoyable experience. Thank you.

I'm seriously thinking of plunging myself into an abyss of commitments. It must be in my nature. I like to be occupied. To feel busy and tired. Not sure why. You must think i'm crazy but its just me. Maybe its because when i'm tired and worn out, the breaks and vacations feel really good relaxing because of all the work i put in to attain it. Maybe, maybe not.

I've set my mind on joining softball and choir. Choir, I enjoy singing, I really do. The people in the NJchoir are great too. We're going to Italy! For a competition. Really can't wait for that. But with it comes practice. Hours of practice and discipline. Sufferings are ahead. Softball. I love the sport! Really have the passion and interest for it. Just pick it up when i found out that NJ had a softball team. Its quite sad though that the team doesnt have any funding from the school and the team has to pay for the coach and equipment. Coach costs like 3k a month! Supposed to be from the S'pore national team. I hope that i will be able to continue my stay in these two ccas. Many people tell me its taxing. I know it is but how taxing it is and whether i can handle all that pressure will be something i want to find out by myself. Thanks to Yuntian who gave me the chance to experience it for myself:)

Timetable sucks! That is the one thing i dislike about NJ. I have only one free period and 2 days that end at 430! What lousy timings. So late. Cca like starts immediately on those two days. Tommorrow will be my first day under the new timetable. Sigh...5 different subjects on the same day...boring and tiring. Lord help me to stay awake and alert tommorrow. Got a CAAL period to end the day too. Whats that about?

Choir practice cum orientation cum dinner tommorrow after school! A least I have something to look forward to during classes. Too bad i'll have to miss yet another OG13 outing...sorry guys. They'll always be other chances. We are stuck together for the next 2 years. Anyway, i hope the choir event is fun tommorrow. Am giving up a fun softball practice for it. Jiayou to the com planning for it!

Its about time i hit the sack. Long lessons ahead of me tommorrow. Till my next entry.
