Holidays over! =(

Hmmm.

Holidays are finally over whether I want it or not. So sad. Had a great time during the hols, and did not want to wake up on the first day of school. Hey, I woke up early on the first day of school by myself! Haha, and the night before I couldn't sleep, maybe because I was excited to go to school after not going to school for so long.

Over the hols I trained DOTA almost everyday for the first 2 weeks. Not like that is any kind of achievement but yes, that was what I did for the first 2 weeks. Felt kind of guilty for not playing basketball and think I am turning into a pig after those peanut butter sandwiches every night. (I love Peter Pan peanut butter, Honey Roasted Creamy!) And the best part of all the big bottle was only $3.15 because there was this June special at NTUC. There was one night that I actually finished one whole loaf at one go. Feel fat. Acs (I) basketball court please reopen quick!

For the first 2 weeks of the hols I my roommate was not in. He went to London and Czech Republic on choir tour and so I had the whole room to myself! I had the priviledge of throwing everything on his bed and so my place looks really neat! =p Probabaly that was why I was training hard all the two weeks in high hopes of beating him when he came back. If only I am so 'on' at studying! Haha, and in the end, I did!

During the first week of hols was Mrc camp. Even in the camp we were playing DOTA. We had some variety though, some were playing Jedi Knight II and some were playing Starcraft. Starcraft is like old favourites! Even though it is so old I am amazed how many people actually wanted to play. Haha, I am a Starcraft idiot! A few J1s were learning how to play during the camp. Me, I learnt how to skate-scoot. There was a skate-scooter in the Mr room and so I kept on using it. Some say there is no need to learn as most people will know naturally. It took me quite a while but at the end of the camp, I was scate-scooting around the school with confidence! I used it to deliver cables, buy dinner from Dover, look for missing people, blah blah blah and so on. The route to Dover is fun! Just remember to brake a lot.

Soon, my roommate came home and so I think I would start work. Unfortunately my enthusiasm only lasted for a day or two. My roommate introduced me to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance! Having finished FFT before, I am a fan of it. Suddenly remember how I used to have stars on all the jobs and how all my characters are level 99. I was thinking it is definitely going to be fun! So I started, but this time round the game play is much different from the previous ones. I cannot just 'Accumulate' and drag the battles long, for the faster the battle finish is the better this time round. You earn ability ponts based on number of battles you have been and not every move you do you get Job points. And yeah, JP stands for Judge Points this time round and they make battles oh so easy. Just make sure you have lots of it. They are handy when you are lazy to complete the battle. Now all the battles have got rules. If you break the rules you go to prison and you take lots of penalties. Some penalties are permanent and so you must be really careful. Sometimes they give me headache, especially 'Copycat'. If you want to know what I mean go play the game! I have star on Sniper, Soldier and Dragoon already. Looking forward to finish Black Mage, Archer, Hunter, Thief and White Mage.

My place is so messy throughout the holidays. I sleep till 12 everyday and the other day someone says she wake up late during the hols but guess what time she wakes up? 8.30! I always neaten up a place just to find that I have messed up another place. The cycle seems never ending. I tidied up my cupboard and my floor became messy because I took something out of my cupboard. Then I tidied up the floor and so I put the stuffs on the table... Guess you all can guess then what happens to my table... Shall show you all the photos of my tables during the hols. Horrible! Maybe next time!

During the hols was the Band Concert. In my opinion, this time round the band concert was much better than the last time. I loved the percussion ensemble special presentation. I made me feel so much like a kid! The encore was good too! (How come they did not invite William Hung for the vocal of YMCA?) I laughed a lot that night and hey, it was Sharon's birthday too! Met her in the morning and she looked sooo cute hugging the birthday present. Shall post the photos one of these days.

My pa came to visit Singapore! Hmmm, my youngest sis wanted a handphone and so we were shopping for it. I was amazed by kids nowadays. I feel so old, feeling just like the last generation. She is only 10! (I got my first handphone at 16?) In the end we did not buy any because there were not very much good deals. Ate and ate the whole day and did some shopping at Sim Lim Square. Haven't been catching up with the latest IT gadgets and I am just amazed by all the new stuffs. Technology is advancing far too fast! But I think that is a good thing. Then I can wait until the price drop to an affordable level before buying. Hahahaha!

I went to Sentosa! Sometimes I like walking by the sea barefooted! The sand felt sooo soft and smooth! Saw a lot of ACJC people who didn't come with us too. Some with parents, some with boyfriends and so on! Next time come here must go barbeque! I realized there is finally Sakae Sushi on Siloso Beach but the problem was I forgotten all about it when it was time to suggest a place to eat. Sigh! Must try next time too. Monorail is gone! T.T So sad. I was thinking going around Sentosa in monorail would be nice. Hmmm, so sad! So so sad! Was hoping they did not build Sentosa Express...

School started before I knew it. I was very awake on the first day even though I slept very littlethe night before. Seeing everyone in school was fun, after haven't seen them for so long. For a while, school did not felt like school. Felt like some arcade where we are all out to have fun! Everyone was smiling all the way today and I made school a nice place to be! I have so much to catch up with everyone. By the way, I do not know whether it is me or not but think these days, the ACJC girls are getting prettier and sexier... (Hope it is not only me...) Maybe they went for some image change over the holidays or something? =p

Wow! I actually stayed back in school to study for past 3 days. Over the past three days I am very productive, and I am sure if i continued this way I am on the mark for prelims. Haha! My friend was saying the other day... "Oh no! Yesterday I had a nightmare. I dreamt of electrons!". I just plain laughed all the way. She was complaining how she woke up at 3 am because of that. No I do not want to get nightmares... Tired, tired tired! Only day four of term and I already feel the effects. I can even fall asleep just sitting down for a while. Sometimes it is involuntary, as I did not even know that I fell asleep until I wake up. Luckily Monday is holiday. Think the school hours are really very long. Or maybe because I cannot get used to sleeping 6 hours a day after the long hols?

The Russell Peter craze is even worse this term than two terms before. Already two terms before it was pretty crazy already. I was passing the video to many people. Hmmm, heard he have a new episode but I have yet to get my hands on it. The video sent everyone laughing every minute of it. I like the 'Somebody's gonna get hurt real bad' part.

Today in school most people brought their digi cam. I know prelims is very near but today it felt like graduation day. We took photos like crazy! Unfortunately I do not have them now. Shall post them up one day. Haha. I love ACJC! =D Think I am really going to be very sad when I leave. I am already starting to stare out of the window these days. Just admiring the view, before I have no chance to, and thinking, what am I going to do after this? The university talk did not help, because it only serve to remind me how near is my deadline of application. I still do not know what I want to do. I am sooo indecisive. Well, think I will see where other people go first... =)

Today I end school at 110. Haven't have a short day for very long so I am enjoying every minute of it. But I realized I have Chem lesson after school at 4.30. Should have went home and sleep first since I am so tired. But if I did that, this blog would not be updated, rite? See you all soon!

Somebody! I am not gonna say who...
But I think you might know him VERY WELL! =p

What D&D Character Am I?

I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Bard Ranger


Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.


Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.


Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.


Secondary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Forgot!

See la, I forgot something again.

Hey, AC won Rj at Rugby 23-0 for Wei Kong! I cheered my hearts out and was very happy that they won. They dominated all the way! First time I felt so happy cheering and sooo the cheering gets louder and louder as the game went on. Ac already scored 3 in the first 30 seconds. By then, I was already sure that we are winning! We did not stop cheering throughout the game. The spirit was just great. The J1s in front of me were funny. They were taunting the Rj no. 14 who happen to stand around the goal line all the time and can hear us. The J1 say things like, "Wei, no. 14, don't stand here and slack la, you team losing eh." And all their taunts just make me laugh my heads of. Ac Rugby did it again! This time for Wei Kong!

I felt a bit sad when I saw the Rj team consisting of some Acs(I) players. Hey, realized other schools that were the top 4 had Acs(I) players too! So anyone's victory on that grounds that day is an AC victory. I felt very sad watching tennis. I cheered and the both matches I cheered for won but the others that I did not cheer for lost. There are so many matched at the same time so I just cannot watch all. At one court, I heard that Barker captain is playing Barker vice captain. Haha, I wonder how a 20 pointer go into Rj? Anyway, the doubles team that won had a member from my hall, Hall 8 when we were all Sec. 1. Had fun looking at all the photos since I am packing lately. Hmmm, the teachers was going like "Will Hiro be our hero?" Unfortunately he lost after a close match. Had fun watching Anthony the champion. He owned the Rj guy. His slices are nice. Anyway, back to the point, half their team was Acs(I) players, so even though victory went to Rj, the real victory is still AC's!

Hope I did not forget anything this time! =)

Holiday update!

Hmmm, haven't been updating lately. Been too busy and always find myself with not enough time. People say that everyone have 24 hours and also that if you don't have time then make time. It is easy for them to say but I bet it is difficult even for people who believe in them. I just don't have the resources when I want it.

Think it is almost one month now since Leon passed away. Hey, think that was a very sad week. Two from the school are gone within 6 days apart of each other... One, an mgs girl with leukimia. Then, Leon. Hmmm, it was scary becaues I went to do gym with him the Tuesday before his death. And the following Monday he's gone. Worse affected are the ones who went to support tennis with him...

Mrs. Kelvyna Chan told us that the parents told them not to speculate everything. I do not wish to speculate but it appears to me that Leon had commited suicide. Anyway, it is not like because I am 'kepo' or something like that but I really know Leon and think that we should know what happened to Leon. I don't know why they do not what to tell us why. I have heard from many different parties and after applying my 'Sleuth skills' I can only conclude that Leon had committed suicide. When I first heard it I really did not belief it but about 30 minutes later I realized it was the truth. I finally know why Michael looked so sad during Chem prac. Then suddenly all my friends from Acs(I) that I approached were talking about it. I felt like I was the last one to know.

A lot of wonders were left in my mind after I walked home. Had a long talk with Joshua after school that day. Suddenly everyone looked very gloom. I wanted to go for his funeral but I was told at 7 at night by his classmate that his funeral is over. It was when I just knew that he passed away when he was cremated. I felt so slow to know. How come the funeral was so rushed? And from his classmates account, Mrs. Chan told them his body had been found near the house. Someone else told me that he wore his uniform, took his schoolbag and jumped. Hey, looks like they tally with each other. He was far away from a road and being hit by a car was out of the question. Hmmm, wish not to talk about this anymore. Some say it was depression, because he got Band 2 for project work or something like that. But he is the First Aid president and also taking Chem S! I felt very sorry couldn't be able to attend his funeral. I knew too late... Sorry.

Hmmm, last day of the Mrc camp and the camp is coming to an end. A lot of things have happened in between the last entry till now but I cannot possibly remember everything. All I can say that I felt that this year pass by much faster than the last one. My first three months felt like it was forever and I had the most fun that I ever had in school. Now, June holidays are here and this year I barely achieved anything. My results are the worst ever and wonder how I am going to hang on. I must study this holidays because it is a good opportunity for me to do so.

Watched Brotherhood last night. Have to agree it was a very touching movie. Think some of these things can really happen to anyone. Plus the sound effects from good sound systems we have in the Mr room, I can really feel as if I was at war. The blood splashes were generous though they looked fake. The storyline was good. Wow, the South Koreans were winning before China sent their volunteer army, pushing the South Korean army all the way back to Nakdong river, where they started their battle. It is funny how you attack all the way up then you get pushed back to the original location. It is like back to square one, with a large casualties in between.

By the way, Camelot was great! Though the dance steps are repetetive, but they looked graceful dancing the moves. The reception was not bad too... Haha, I had two $200 dollar ticket and nobody want the other ticket. Contacted almost everyone in my phonebook and after that I felt very bad because the ticket was expensive. Couldn't really believe that nobody wanted it. The storyline for Camelot was tragic. At least now I know why The Knights of The Round Table came about and why is there a Round Table. Think it was a brilliant idea because if everyone is of the same rank, nobody would care to play politics. Everyone would try to chair the Table of Knights but if the table was round, nobody can chair it. Tragic that Merlin did not warn Arthur or teach him some magic. Lancelot was really irritating. =p

Think I overtyped again. Hmmm, I dun like to be Chiong-Hey. Think nobody would care to read super long entry... Haha, too bad, this is a place where I shower my thoughts. Anyway, I am dying for Sims 2! How come I cannot find any anywhere? How come no one have it? How come people that have it do not want to lend me? Hmmm, actually because I recently finished The Sims (again! =p) with almost infinite money. Tried best of all jobs, rebuilt my house twice to get my dream house... Did not bother with expansion packs because Sims 2 is out and University is out too. Soon, in September, I will be waiting for Nightlife! =) That's all folks, for today! =D
