| flight's tonight, but I probably won't have time to update... at the airport. the past week has been pretty fun, with Board Farewell and work exposure programme at Oriental Hotel. I'm glad I picked the job at the kitchen, 'cause even though we weren't cooking, we sure ate a hell lot. :D thanks to bengoh, sngzheng and nigel for the great company those 3 days.
as for the subject combi I was worrying about last week... I decided on french lit econs math, regardless of whether I enter the humanz programme.
now for france, woohoo. will try to update if possible. I'm lugging my mum's mini (free) laptop instead of my macbook ): but I really have no space in my hand-carry. ... 'cause of my dslr sigh.
that's about it for now, happy hols everyone!

| Intense, emotional, funny, I liked it. Makes me wonder whether I'll ever be in another production besides Dramafeste next year (perhaps).   Right now, the title describes me quite aptly. JC life looms ahead, not looking forward to the deep dark hole I'm plummeting into. | | |
| So I vowed to sleep before 11pm today, because watching Japanese dramas (and/or anime) and self-learning Japanese till 3am these few nights have been ruining my sleep cycle. And then I started thinking about the H2 French test next week I signed up for, and how I'm probably going to mess it up. Then I started thinking about matriculation for JC and... I started panicking. SIGH
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TAKE IN JC. Yeah I decided to try out for the Humanities Programme, but reality check: who actually thinks I can get in. I really don't see myself with any chance getting in with the grades that I have (which turned out for the better :D but still not very spectacular, really). Perhaps I'm wrong. That'll be a miracle.
Lit's compulsory in HP, and so I'd have to choose 2 more subs, and 1 contrasting sub ... which would definitely be Math. (my best friend) I really want to continue with French... so there's one last subject I'm undecided about. Parental units claim TSD's useless so I'll have to take Econs (and probably die a horrible death, right?).
And if I DON'T get into HP... I really don't know what to do.
Choosing sciences would be suicide, especially since I've a nice little red mark for Chemistry.
Any kind soul with any advice. ):
Grad Night was rather underwhelming, even though it was nice to be with friends once again before we end up next door. So much for the extra preparation Chia and I had after our Chinese O's (which went awesome btw). We were originally going to do each other's RS song + MJ's I'll Be There but in the end we scraped our RS songs for 2 more fun songs (which I had to learn that day) i.e. Pokerface and Don't Love You No More. Not that the songs actually mattered, 'cause no one was listening.
2012 was rather disappointing too. Okay not exactly, I enjoyed the special effects quite tremendously 8D but as Daron said, the director applied deus ex machina far too many times in the movie.
oh oh trivia: did you know that the random Tibetan guy in the movie is SINGAPOREAN. So much for acting talents from our sunny little island~
I just want to get over Tuesday's French test, then enjoy working in Oriental Hotel for 3 days, then Bordeaux (which has quite an exciting itinerary), then Hong Kong, then London and Paris with my family.
woohooo.

| To be very honest, the 1 month between the last blog post and this one, is solely because I have a phobia of starting a blogpost and never ending it (considering how long-winded I can get). Too many things have been happening, or not (for certain manifestations of evil i.e. EOYs), and I just didn't know where to start.
and then I realised that I've survived 4 years of RI, the school and home that I thought I despised so much and wanted to leave for the past 2 years. It just makes me feel really weird, that after countless blogposts lamenting my miserable school life, I'd still miss certain things after all. I mean, sure we're technically not going anywhere, 'cept the campus a tad further away, and we're still living with the same name. (not even RI(JC) anymore, wonderful, so I get to stay in RI and feel old.) (I think I forgot to mention that I'm not leaving for Canada after all.)HOKAY, back to the last week of school that I wanted to blog about. Ignoring the various disappointing marks I have obtained, it's been quite an internally emotional week, which culminated during the batch song in the final assembly. I don't know why, but the line that strikes me the most in our Batch song is the 2nd line in the verse. "we feel the beating of our hearts together." Not a very special line at all looking at it like this, I know, but it's just my personal opinion. I never really felt anything for our batch -- we're the batch that didn't win any SYF Gold with Honours, the batch whose year had swine flu getting in the way, the batch that had hardly any House events 'cept the measly Holympics, the batch that led a not-so spectacular Sec 1 Orientation Camp. There were so imperfect moments, but perhaps that's that makes me miss this batch the most. (again, I know we're still in the same school, but with floods of new people rushing in next year, it'll be different.)
4C(I'm not sure if you'll read this, but if you do... maybe leave a tag? :D) 
I haven't been the most sociable person around in class. I got kind of sad/guilty/unsure yesterday when I read the nice little notes everyone wrote for me. You guys told me to stay strong, and that you're sorry that you didn't get to know me well enough, and some of you say that it's because you're not that good at communicating. But I do think I was at fault for always shutting myself out from the class most of the time, and I feel the sting now. I must be honest here -- I didn't feel comfortable many a time in class, probably because I felt inferior to most of you. It's heartening to know that some of you respect me for taking up positions and responsibilities, but on another hand, I'm not sure if I deserve that respect. As I mentioned during English class the other day, with Mrs Seow, I'd choose a different path with zero leadership roles, perhaps that'd bring me down to earth and allow me to have known you guys better. But right now, I just want to thank all of you for the fun and laughter you've added to my life, the care and concern you guys have showered me when I was down (whenever I failed something, for example. ... D: ), and the unwavering support for my singing (haha sounds weird phrased like this) ! :D
  Okay I'm not so good with words, so I don't know what else to write here. ): I'll be looking forward to grad night.
House Capts 
Too bad Hao Zhi and Jiarong aren't in this photo.
House stuff has been quite an integral part of 2009 for me I guess (notice how I don't say Hullett, but House? haha.) Curses to H1N1 for surfacing in our year, and causing so many events to be cancelled/disrupted. I was really looking forward to the competition between the houses, but it turned out really minimal. But anyway I really wanna thank you guys for the help/support you've offered to me this year. (:
OIP Korea peeps :D
(special mention keke.)
I'm really glad to have known you guys! 2009 allowed me to get to know some of you even more. i.e. Davin, Shaun (who insists, is taller than me), Yong Han, Sheryin (who's not in the pic), etc.
SIGH so there goes Year 4 of RI. Regrets? Plenty, of course. But I shan't think about them right now.
Looking forward to Grad Night, minus the theme.
Rafflesian Spotlight '09
so I got 2nd place for the 2nd time. I thought Chia would win, in fact, but he got 3rd. haha but I guess we'll have to accept that! I need to thank everyone who came down to show your support, I really appreciate it. Hope my performance wasn't too boring.
Chia's God Bless the Broken Road
(I'd never be able to do what Chia did playing the piano and singing.)CHIA. if you read this: THANK YOU for the guidance and support you've given me as a fellow competitor, since you like to correct me when I can't hit a note/sing off key.
Okay if you haven't noticed, I'm getting increasingly incoherent due to the time (2.50AM, wtf.) so I'm just going to spam photos, and give one liner thanks. (:
my best friends Daron and Shayne, for the support. (or for shayne, THE LACK OF A PIANIST THIS YEAR. if you don't get your A1 for your chinese on tuesday, I'll laugh.) (: and daron, for the "prissy" facebook group (those who get the reference, <3) that you created.
 15th SLC Andromedae peeps + their random friends I need to thank but I don't know who/how exactly.
THANK YOU FOR COMING. really appreciate it. (: but shuqing/shiauyin/eben I'll remember that y'all escaped too early.
Laura! For managing to rush down for RS after all~ haha thanks for bugs bunny balloon. (: the ears are rly quite cute.
My family, aunty Michelle, mum and lou dao who flew from. was it Hong Kong or Jkt. I have no idea. Thanks for the fake roses! :D  4C!! for your support for chia and I. :D can't thank you guys more.
Everyone in this facebook group. Haha it was really awkward at first when I got to know of its existence. (it still is.) Don't think they'd read my blog, but if you do, THANK YOU.
I guess people wonder why I'd choose that song that day, since it's "rather boring".
haha keep wondering~ | | |
