just came back from a chillout session with paul,elaine,chris,charles and des from music team. i LOVE their company. i guess musicians usually click well with one another? we were supposed to have a jam session in the cpa but sadly the school estate dept forgot to unlock the room. we decided to go to settler's cafe at holland village but in the end 'settled' at the coffee club as we couldn't find 'settler's cafe'. i tried this tiramisu mocha which was supposed to be laced with alcohol but i felt it wasn't fantastic in terms of blending of flavor. elaine showed me pictures of japan and her function in london and also of this restaurant bar called 'balaclava'. it has a really cool interior design, and i just thought that the name itself was cool enough. anyway, we were just chatting about how to improve as a band and i also got introduced to some interesting music courtesy of paul.
5th week of term 2 of jc 2 just ended. how sad. i'm still far behind in my revision. the only thing i sometimes do to encourage myself to push on is to tell myself that i'm gonna complete ALL my tutorials soon, ALL of them...but i've been chasing that target since the beginning of this year. when you think you've completed the assignments for one subject, there's another that you've probably overlooked. i told myself i'll write essays at least once a week, that idea is quite impossible given the amount of effort i put into completing my math n science tutorials.
5 weeks down, 5 more to go...that'll be the end of term 2.
every passing day i remind myself of the time that's remaining to pull myself up into the leading pack of the race. it's finally time to wake up, just like my mum told me. this goal is mine, and nobody's gonna stop me or distract me. to you who want to remain in dreamland, go ahead. play time's over for me...or at least your kind of play is destroying me. focus. prioritise.
every minute of the day seems so precious for me, especially those during the day because that's the only time i can really work. night time's reserved for rest. although i may feel mentally strong, sleep deprivation will make me physically weak - win-lose situation. library's my favorite hangout now, till i get too comfy with it then feel as though it's conducive to sleep. that'll just hint to me it's time to relocate! *sigh...i better plan ahead a list of alternative study locations for myself*
today was a short, boring day. double break before final tutorial lesson..helped eunice load up her econ s assignment. i was surprised to see that one of the monitors in the students' lounge a.k.a. Fishtank is out of service and nobody reported it. i just loitered around council room...memories start reappearing from my visual memory bank. the people the noise the jokes the pains the worries the design..the council. it is beginning to dawn upon me that really my journey as an 'active' councillor will end in a month's time. well, mrs ang said before that "once a councillor, always a councillor". i totally agree. maybe that's why i don't feel as down as some of the other 31st. it's just in me...this feeling that we'll still hold on together, no matter what. so no point feeling down and sad about stepping down. it'll mark another chapter for us, but the subsequent chapters will only be sad if and only if we make it so. we're going to be one year's old! to me it's something like moving out of infanthood...we have matured after 1 year of enduring each other's nonsense(which can prove to be of high entertainment value ^_^) and growing through learning and drawing strength from one another.
ELECO camp felt totally like deja vu; the cycle is repeating itself. anyway, i still enjoyed myself. i'll never forget the buddy interaction sessions with eunice, tiffany n hai ning; the sentry session with shinwei and 4 other juniors..all so happy. we had a briefing at 1am..can you imagine that? anyway, i managed to steal some time off before sentry to play the guitar, just to let my emotions flow a little. day2-3 was a really tiring one. we had PE, then scaffolding/knots/welfare training session, then we had campfire in the evening. really memorable. memories of me being where the elects were last year is still fresh in my mind. the passing of fireworks is just so sweet.
fireworks : let us shine, sparkle, light up your life
that's from our council song. the 'night session' with juniors was especially fun. i was quite amazed how we resorted to different measures trying to entertain ourselves when we're already so tired and hungry. prior to that, i had hands-on on table soccer with shiyang, kaizhi, ziyao, zi jian and tak. fun fun! ah...we only had one hour sleep then we gotta use whatever energy reserves we had to play sports with the juniors. pubco rox in captain's ball! the camp ended with talentime. the senior's item was committee spoofing. so pubco spoofed welco, which i think we didn't do a good job so i hope welco isn't so sad about it. ecaco spoofed us! and faith role-played me! quite funny, i was surprised at the things about me she brought up...some i didn't realise and some i didn't expect her to know. i was moved, i just smiled =) sometimes felt like crying but i don't express such feelings easily. we picked our mortals, hope my angel and mortal are responsive people!
i was just surfing the net tonight, reading up on information...then i bummed into something interesting, something close to my heart. i was impressed, so many things cropped up in my mind that i wanted to do, but then as i explored further, i was saddened. it hit me spot on. at that very moment, my mind was just jumbled, shocked. this question the surfaced:
why is it that we seek to know, when in knowing we will be hurt?
i'm not sure really why, i hope to understand it better. as for now, i'd rather be hurt than let curiosity kill me. dear special person, i'd like you to know that regardless of what you may think of me, you'll always have a special place in my heart. looking forward to weave more memories together with you.
