ponder ponder ponder

I never seem to be able to wake up before 11 on Sundays.

bah.

spent the day with Wes and Zyd once again. they came over to woodlands, where we had lunch. made our way to kinokuniya in orchard, hoping to find textbooks. ended up in the French section, pondered a little. and we ended up only buying a French newspaper (for zydney) and The Economist. -.-

how eventful.

the coming week looks promising! I think.

yet another incoherent rant about life

yet another week has passed, and this week was definitely more eventful than the past few with the end of orientation, introduction to our classes, my CCA trials and whatnot. JC life seems to be passing faster than I thought it would, but maybe that's not such a bad thing.

so last night we had a family gathering somewhere in YCK, something different from the usual family gatherings my mum slogs out for at our house every Chinese New Year. Guess that wouldn't be possible since we're flying to Hong Kong next Friday. sigh. Chinese New Year seems to hold no significance for me these years. Once upon a time I looked forward to seeing all the cousins together, and we would just camp in front of our TV to play my Playstation, or if we were at Jalan Kayu, we'd be running around trying to make perfume with random plants in the farm and adding a few drops of A. Michelle's perfume to delude ourselves that it was successful. Everything just feels so different now - Gennie's in Hong Kong slogging away, Veron was... somewhere busy with school stuff, an uncle's working in China ... and all who's remaining just don't make up that old feeling I miss.

but I guess that's part and parcel of life.

We were discussing about next year's gathering - if we do move to Toronto, we wouldn't be around to organize anymore gatherings, so it'd be up to another Uncle. Jokingly, he suggested that everyone'd go to Toronto for the reunion. Sigh.

I realize that I've been trying to make my J1 life as worthwhile as possible. Dumping myself into so many activities before anything has actually begun, attempting to do things I always wanted to do (meaning signing up for CCAs people think I'd be a joke in). Are all these worth the time? If I do leave, I'd want to leave with the best memories of my J1 stint. As much as I'm enjoying my time with this slight change of environment, there are some things that I can never let go of -- I like my subject combi, but it's not what I wanted at first. [It's just really strange that I'd been so confident of taking H2 French and assumed I'd be accepted. Turns out a certain HOD just had to just slap weaker students in the face and only let the more promising ones in.] Anyway apart from that, it'd be the matter of CCAs and commitments once again. I'm desperate to know the outcomes of my trials, so that I can plan my schedule out for the next few months.

AHHHHH I need "new directions". D:

time to fill in application forms.

grasshoppers which don't learn to fly, will only live to see the grass.

HH01 - G'old Diggers!

(:

thank you for making G'alvea: RI Orientation an exceptional experience.

and a more random photo of the Frenchies united:

sigh.

anyway. life's still the same - I haven't had a moment not regretting something or panicking for something else. I really don't like making decisions sometimes. Especially when there's so many things at stake.

I'm really liking my class 11A01D! We might be the biggest Arts class, but I guess all the more it'd be fun. plus Li Yu, Shao and Kuss from 4C are all together on board. (:

As for things outside class... I'm trying to sort things out. D:

ohmmm.

if you think I'm not good enough for HP, I'm fine with that. if you think my French is so bad that you refuse to let me take H2, I'm now fine with that. but if you think that just because you're working up there as an official, you're allowed to speak that way to a parent, I'm absolutely not fine with that. Thanks for letting me know what you really think of me as a student.

But you know what, it's fine. I've dealt with so many blows these days, I'm immune to it. Right now it's just a steep climb up.

Here's some lyrics to my favourite song of the moment:

Même si
by Grégory Lemarchal and Lucie Silvas

Just like I predicted, we're at the point of no return
We can go backwards, and no corners have been turned
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim
'Cause I chose the water that I'm in

Ne jamais devoir choisir
Avoir raison ou tort
Au-delà de mes faiblesses
J'ai la force d'y croire encore
Même si l'amour s'enfuit
J'en inventerai les couleurs
S'il est trop tard, pour revenir,
Je remonterai les couleurs

There's no way,
You're changing,
'Cause some things will just never be mine,
You're in not love this time...but it's alright.

J'aurai voulu t'offrir le meilleur de tout mon être
Au lieu de partir, entre nous tout faire renaître
Plutôt que de mentir,
Aborder nos différences
T'aimer autrement qu'à contre sens

And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable to give me anymore

Et ce dont je suis fait
Tout entier je saurai te le rendre
Même s'il faut tout apprendre, tout apprendre
What's your definition of the one?

Comment définir l'amour sans toi ?
Mais prêt à tous les sacrifices je refuse celui là
J'aurai voulu t'offrir le meilleur de tout mon être
'Cause these are the waters that I'm in

Même si l'amour s'enfuit
J'en inventerai les couleurs
S'il est trop tard pour revenir
Je remonterai les heures
Et ce dont je suis fait, tout entier
Je saurai te le rendre
Même s'il faut tout apprendre
Même s'il faut tout apprendre
Même s'il faut tout apprendre

thanks to the bunch of you who were there today. I would have crumbled and died on the spot choking on chocolate waffle. really, thanks.
