Pick me up now
I need you so bad

I wonder if anyone still comes here.
Felt like. Visiting.
I am happy at this point in my life. A friend once said "a place is only as good as its people" and if that's the case, well, RJ is a great place because I'm always wrapped in the warmth of the most amazing, supportive, positive class I have ever been a part of. Every single day I feel blessed to be able to walk into school feeling assured that Today Will Be Good. It is a nice feeling. Safe.
Other things to be thankful for: Studying at the windy benches with Players, Hullett memorial library, interesting tutorials, occasional adventures in the TSD room, starting the day with music on the MRT, talking to old friends, running, random dancing, random singing, not-so-random acting.

Things not so great about life: Consciously trying not to be such proud, cold-blooded, unaffectionate creature. It is okay, even necessary, to sometimes show people you do appreciate their existence. +10 sincerity points for doing it verbally. Working on it.

I don't post here anymore.


:)

There is so much at stake at this point.

I'm just sixteen, just turned sixteen 3 weeks ago. And yet we're all sticking our toes into the ocean, just to see if it bites back with the cold we all braced ourselves for.

I have a Literature AA due in roughly eight hours, and I plan to devote every one of those hours to this AA. Because I feel like I have to. Because I can't focus, so I'm going to need every one of those hours to propel me forward, not turn around and bite my head off.

Today I realised that I was not put into B ban by merit at all. In fact, by meritocracy I belong somewhere at the end of the A ban. Seriously.

And of course, there's so much at stake at this point, Chinese is the least of my worries.

I cannot write. I cannot write, I now understand what Cheryl Foo meant when she said it was HARD to write. It's not hard, it's excruciatingly painful. The words don't fit.

Drama kids are amazing, I kid you not. They are by far the most interesting people I have met in these four years as a Rafflesian, perhaps I'd go so far to say that they top the list of most interesting people I have met in all my 16 years of being. The Potatoes command my respect with their artistry, not with their acting prowess, but their ability to make drama a way of LIFE.


It saddens me greatly to think that my juniors will not experience the same kind of appreciation and respect for the dramatic arts that led me to creating the above wall of text. But I will be forever grateful for the experience of being their zombie, for it has, above all, taught me a great deal about amateur theatre. It has shown me what it means to be a drama girl, to be able to sing like nobody's around, perform for the love of performing, take pride in every single fibre of the KS Chee carpet that has held a production together by its threads.

OMGHELLOBLOGGER. I really missed you. Really (:
Tumblr is serving me well but it just doesn't feel the same, you know. Over here on Blogger I type and I type but on Tumblr I get distracted by rebloggings, music, pictures (not bad things in most circumstances but/) and I neglect to actually TYPE things out properly.

(Mostly I've been writing strange posts revolving around my sick obsession with food and nutrition and exercise oh did I mention food?)

Right now you, Blogger, are my distraction from hurrying to complete my boring admin work ASAP and hitting the sack to salvage a few hours of snooze time. -POW!-

This boy’s in love,
Love
This boy's in love
Under city, under city lights.

Inet, why aren't you working q93841ijlfkjad-f2!!!

Hello friends

I think I might dump this blog for a while. Meanwhile you can visit here.

I miss 109'08 like crazy crazy crazy okay. If any of you see this, I MISS YOU ALL A LOT !!
Not that I'm biased towards you all for whatever reason but okay you guys were like my first sec one class and I always felt super duper responsible for practically everything about how you all were. Maybe 'cause I was sec two and also a bit overzealous but anyways yes me misses you all very much! Miss PSL sessions, miss fighting with Yuqing on your tagboards, miss screaming ONEOHNINE! so much that I even yell it when trying to get 202's attention, miss your S/PSLs too!

And also my very super ultra adorable 105'09 the cute class! I remember all the PSLs thought the Adorable was like whoa, destined because it was so appropriate and I can't even remember what we originally wanted to call you all because Adorable was 10X better. You all are seriously super duper cute what with colourful hairspray for concert, Bring It On cheers, being so enthu at house prac (haha even Jenny came to tell us!) and everything else. Ah PSLs owe you super lot of things leh D: But we'll go visit someday!

110! Even if I'm not really your PSL, I have to say you all did really incredibly well finishing everything! One week was really not enough lah, but despite everything still you survived. LISTEN TO YOUR PSLs OKAY but also don't dao me lah I'll still be there :D

Hello everyone I'm back from Orientation camp! Fourth and last one ):

I'm really happy that 110 worked so hard for their item, they didn't win but that's okay! 101 didn't win anything when we were sec one, but we had fun so yeah even if efforts don't give prizes they give us something to be proud of.

Goh Jen is back! She told us about how she sat on the same planes as famous people (Utt and Denzel Washington!!!!) and okay I have concluded my life is incredibly uninteresting. Haha.

My throat has never been so sore after Orientation, so either I'm yelling too much with my throat or I'm getting old. I think I'm getting old. Good thing there's no house prac next week haha or else I'd just croak.

Speaking of which, we had first house prac today! Was pretty messy lah, but sec ones like the hokkien cheer :D And I think this batch is not bad as a whole, people were already going "Yay Richard!" or "Yay Buckle!" even though house intro was just Thursday (I think.). Like before concert when I was with 110 there were Richardsonians high-fiving me haha it was pretty cool!

I am posting quite frequently now because I'm still in a fabulous mood, thanks to Gmail. I know I'm a total nerd haha but it's really cool!!! Don't get me started on Reader.

Orientation is going pretty well, I must say, Sec Ones are not shabby for third-day kids. But still not loud enough, guys!

I really like 110 and classICs. They are showing little improvements here and there and so are their classICs :D Three more days!

My latest obsession: Gmail.

Gmail is like the coolest k, you can choose Gmail themes, upload up to 20mb of attachments, and you don't have to download save every freaking file on your desktop just to find out that you don't need them 5 minutes later when a newer version arrives. Plus you can add in a lot of other experimental functions like previewing youtube videos from your inbox etc. etc.

SARAH TAN, YOU WERE RIGHT (:

Sorry blog. You should have realised after the long days of neglect, that you do not hold an important position in my life.

First day of school okay I am totally getting old. Not grown-up old but like aged old. And I know there are all those Active Aging campaigns out there but whatever, not the point. The point is that I'm getting so old, a day of school can leave me so tired and drained and dying.
Plus it's not because of sleep deprivation anymore, because I have been sleeping (quite) early.

Haha but whatever, that's life.

Now that I think about it, to me, blogging is a pretty useless communication tool. It's more of a pastime.
But if that's so, it's a weird sort of pastime. Because I don't blog about anything really worthy of reading (save for the occasional advert). So might as well just write stuff and not put it on display, since everything on public display can be used against me, right?

I want to go back to my Daddy's place at Sherwood in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. It's like living in the Tipton :D Free coffee and tea 2.30-5pm. And 2 pool tables. And a swimming pool. And the awesome elevators. And the 5 star restaurant food is cheaper than Singapore hawker center food it's like !?!!?

Mom says I can totally move in with Dad if I want to, and I can go to that international school there but it'll be totally wasted since I've already survived 3 years in RGS so aww I'll be seeing you guys in January.
