Wah...even while typing, my eyelids get heavier by the second...

The second week is already over...what a long week with homework, research and revision to do...I might even be tempted to stop playing already, but what kind of entertainment can substitute that habit? Hard to say isn't it?

In any case, I really have to plan in everything I do: Homework (especially), relaxing....etc.

For this week, I have a PW meeting with my team members outside at Woodlands tomorrow at 1:30pm. Let's finish this once and for all, and hopefully, pray that the tutor doesn't say it is crap or something similar, otherwise it's back to Square One. (I also really sympathise with Jasper's Group...just hope the tutor doesn't reject our idea. We'll see tomorrow...

Before finally hitting the sack, I'm already planning what homework to do tomorrow already, since I'm going out (One of the few times ever lol) for offical discussions...no point worrying so much about the future anyways...
Really, it's all in the mind that gives you the determination to withstand the piles of homework...I'm saying this because I slept at 2am attempting my GP reflections, struggling with heavy eyelids...

So, I'm sleeping already...long day tomorrow, grr...really tempted to take a break and play CoD5! Noooooooo...................it's hard to give up such a habit that I thoroughly enjoy!

Nite peeps =D...

Ok, 2nd week's here already. Bro went off to Tekong at around 3pm plus to catch the 4:15pm boat ride. I didn't go this time as I had to do the Bio Article (Nothing in the newspapers at all, will be checking the Net within this week before Thursday). All I did was play as I did my school stuff except the one mentioned, we all need to chill for a while, especially for me hehes.

I hardly have the privilege to play in the coming months, as I have already chosen 2 CCAs, AV Club and China Desk (New CCA, intro looks good). Many of my classmates are joining, and it will also help with our H1 China Studies, basically killing two birds with one stone lol.

Last week was quite a busy one, we all had a taste of the JC curriculum, now there's no turning back. Oh well, it's the path I've seriously considered and chosen...

Okay, it's time to sleep already...long day ahead tomorrow.

Oh yeah, for tomorrow, I'll bet people would ask me why I have a sudden deep and cracked voice, as I have a darn sore throat that has prolonged for 5 days. Man, I can't speak clearly...hope no one finds this weird tomorrow lol...

Nitey nite peeps...

Ok...back from school.

Today's lessons were all introductions, so we can just relax for only a short while. Man...I spent last night doing the project work assignment and these intros made me feel that I really wasted my time and sleep (only about 4hours). Oh well, never mind, I can focus on other subjects anyway tonight lols...

Also, I almost fell asleep during Chinese class (only 7 people in this banded class...oh yeah) and while riding the bus home. Have to sleep early tonight as it's PE the first thing tomorrow (heard it's 2.4km run again so...)

Oh yeah, I forgot to post on last week's Orientation...

On last week Wednesday, I basically got to know my new class 09S02. Wow, a total of 27 students: comprising of 21 females and 6 males lols...
Was already talking with my new classmates, one of them is Jasper. (same name as my ex-classmate lol, different surname)
Also got to know our CTs (Civic Tutors) too, 'house' rules were already made first thing after they introduced themselves as they mentioned: Fair but firm
After that, we got to know our OGLs and our clan, Orion. There are six clans including the one mentioned: Aquila, Cygnus, Leo, Pavo and Ursa

Wow, the whole list of activities is long...War Games were played, basically a water bomb fight using trash bags to launch them for attackers to make it fair and safe. There are also defenders and star carriers...the whole objective is to soak the opponent's stars, while protecting our own. I was partnering with Gabriel, the other launcher, and Yew Cheng, who's the 'ammo carrier'. Also, one of his bombs was stolen or taken away by another person from another clan, and we chased her but in the end, that bomb was thrown at someone else...oh well...
We had some laughs lol...

So, the main thing for this day was folding paper stars, which is the first time I'm doing it. Luckily, the OGLs and some of my new classmates helped me in folding them. Now, I am happy to be able to fold a strip of paper into a star.

On Thursday, this is where the fun really began. My clan had station games, followed by Mass and Cute Dance. I was partnering with another of my classmates Christine, the pairing is always male and female. Between the two, it was lunch break. I used this time to purchase the Polo-Ts. Believe me, there is no queue, just a whole crowd with people from outside attempting to squeeze in to buy them. It took me almost a whole hour to queue up and buy the Polo-Ts, man...this is worse than people queuing up to buy lottery honestly...
Also in the evening, I volunteered to dance for my clan in the Finale the following day...stayed back till around 7pm to discuss the songs.

Ah...it was finally Friday, unfortunately the last day of Orientation. First thing in the morning was a two-way conversation/dialogue with the Principal. Some students went up to ask some standard questions, if I remember correctly, one person was complaining about something related to CCA stuff...even the teacher said his comments were getting a little too personal, so she went to see him outside the hall. Some were also rather direct (wow...) too....... me??? I was simply awed lol, nothing to say.
Anyway, after having CT time, the clan went down to the canteen for assembly or some discussion. As for me, I had to join the dancers at another area to discuss the dance moves and confirming the songs. Lunch and after that, we had a recap of the dances practised yesterday, as well as a new Fun Dance to learn. So all the pairs to dance for quite a long time. It really was tiring for my legs, never danced so many times before lol...
Had Clan Time at around 3:30pm, or rather, Preparation for Finale. We choreographed/created steps here and there till it was time to return to the hall for the Star Ceremony. This is actually the revealing of the PJC Logo made out of thousands of paper stars made by the whole school. There were the Singapore Book of Records judges to confirm the making of this new record. So, this year's 10th Orientation batch (that's us), will be special to the JC, as mentioned by the Principal.
The Finale started soon after, with the teachers going down to the canteen to have the catered buffet first, followed by the students. Wow, some clans toasted not only with their cups, but with their utensils and otaks too?! Lol...I couldn't finish my food in time as I had to perform already.
Wow, other clans' dances were longer than ours, for us, it was a little bit of a failure due to the euphoric or high crowd of students shouting, thus making us dancers (from our clan) unable to dance to the music rhythm. Oh well, at least we have the guts to go up on stage to dance lol...

Finally, we rushed to the Parade Square where we had our final dance. All the dances we painstakingly practised were performed, and the darkness made me unable to see clearly too...
I was rushing everywhere to look for Christine, and I finally found the whole of my class there. Walking blindly in the darkness, not very advisable lol... She also danced well, if I remember hahas. There were a few particular parts that we had to switch positions while dancing, and we had trouble with it...so we switched places lol...
At around 8:30pm, the 9th Student Council showed us the video consisting of pictures taken throughout the whole Orientation at the hall. This was the last part of the Orientation, so everyone cheered loudly, you can imagine the enthusiasm...
When everything ended, my class took pics with our OGLs, before bidding farewell...gonna miss the fun I had since I doubt there will be another event like this for us...

And that's about it already, with most of the main parts written down, I will really remember this Orientation in JC life...

Now, it's time to sleep already...PE awaits lol...cyas...

Waaa...so busy nowadays...hardly have time for playing Com, or even none.

Finished attempting the first Bio Tutorial hours back...did a little for the second but gonna leave it for tomorrow...

Man, the only thing I'm really enjoying is SLEEP. The moment my head touches the pillow, zzzzz...
That's one of the only rests I can get in JC life lol...

Anyway...I can't really play that often, CoD 5 1.2 patch has some sound glitch problem and lots of ppl around the world are complaining about this. Sure, it is annoying...for me, I have to reinstall CoD5 and updated to the 1.1 patch, but...hardly any servers man...

Well, this is in a good way since I can focus better on my work...one major distraction gone for the time being, until the new patch is up...hehe...

Oh yeah, and Bro is coming back home from Tekong on Friday late at night probably, have to find time to install Frontlines and update it, or do defragmentation on the Acer (Currently using it).
Guess it's sleeping time already, oh yeah...tomorrow will be a long school day (Ending at 5:30pm wth). Cyas...

First day of school at PJC

Just back from PJC, the school is quite big to say the least...

First of all, at the start, my dad dropped me off at the entrance. So I waited for Zi Hao, Thien Sen and Bing Han for around 10-15mins till they arrived. We went to take a look at the posting of Orientation Groups (OGs); I was in OG33. Zi Hao was in OG19 if I'm not wrong, Thien Sen was in no. 34, and Bing Han was in the same group as me lol...won't be so lonely as they said...

We had a few talks on the Subject Combinations, introductions on the various subjects by the HODs, as well as the principal's address at the hall; these are all imperative (The place was air conditioned, so it was very cold...). After that, it was a break and OG time.

The group sat in a circle, with the OG Leaders (JC2 Student Council students) starting up the Ice-Breaker. I could remember most names though, but slight possibility forgetting tomorrow lol...
After that, we played Whacko and some others till it was the College tour. For me, most of the areas are familiar since I had been to the PJC Open House weeks ago.

Lunch was soon after that, we went back to the hall where the Student Council did their advertising on joining them. I don't wish to join at this time, since I already had big leadership roles for the 4 years in Secondary School, and also how rigorous the subjects are has made me take another step back...

The last activity was "Songs & Cheers", we had to sing and cheer along with raised voices, until we were released at around 3:30pm. Finally, a chance to get out of the packed 'oven' as all the air-conditioners were turned off, using fans instead.

So Bing Han, Thien Sen, Zi Hao and I walked all the way to CCK MRT station where Zi Hao and I topped up our cards. We went our separate ways at the bus interchange. I took Bus no. 307 home and here I am now...

So far the school is all right: high(in terms of emotions) and also quite a nice place too. I can also see home from the field too...what a convenient school to choose isn't it?
Last but not least, I also saw some of my primary school ex-classmates, as well as Kwok Fong and other familiar faces from Regent. Well, the place won't be so foreign to me already...

Now back at home, it's time to start playing a little bit (trying to cut short this habit), read the newspaper and so on...

Roughly, it's going to be the same thing again tomorrow.........except that it ends at 5:15pm lol...
