A lot of things on my mind that I would like to write about, but I doubt I have the time for it.
I'm a time-waster, I realised. I procrastinate and stuff. And when I get too busy, I lose the motivation to work.
School reopens tomorrow anyway. Zhixian and Shen Yang, happy birthday! Seniors, good luck! This year will be a better year. Maybe when I have the time next month after investiture, or if I finish the choreography for invest's performance this week, I'll blog about everything from NP chalet onwards.
It's a new day, it's a new day, it's a new Generation, new generation...

Last post of 2009.
Tomorrow better be a better year.
I'm not going to start another bad year,
but am I able to leave this year behind?
Sometimes, being alone is soothing.
Counsellor?

F!
Today's probably the angriest day I've had in my life so far.
Pissed with everything.
Especially with that special someone.
It didn't help that unexpected reasons did not allow me to complete my work properly too...
Cursed the whole day away, with frequent adrenaline rushes that resulted in me almost tearing down my room.
Idiot!
I think we both need help.

Thanks everyone who were present at the chalet!
It was a wonderful experience
:D
13 more days...

Haha, haven't posted in a very long time...
Holidays were mostly spent with nothing to do anyway, so I more or less didn't bother posting too.
Today was an extremely busy day for my otherwise empty schedule. Woke up the earliest in the holidays so far, at 6, to go for training. I would say it was, um, amusing, but I shall not describe what happened. It was great being with (half) of the squad though, especially Jingzhan.
Canteen was selling fried food today! First time in 2 years, or maybe because I haven't been noticing. I think they sell fried food every holidays because nobody really cares.
Oh, and I think I can finally 'full chain' a few extreme Tap Tap songs, after much practise before Investiture's meeting :D
After the meeting, instead of following Nick Chuan, DK, Brandon (Zhao Yong tagged along) to Plaza Sing's Daiso to get that 'unisex gift', I ended up going all the way back to MacRitchie to get my ez-link card from Bryan. From there, it was 2 train rides to Dhoby Ghaut, only to find that the rest were done shopping. Brandon helped me to get a gift, so I took another 2 train rides home. In total, I think I 'clocked' 5 rides on Circle line, 2 rides on Red line, 1 ride on Purple, and spent around $4-5 on PUBLIC transport today...
After a year of being Ortus 'tua peh gongs', I get to feel like a councillor again, and hopefully wouldn't be stuck in holiday mode for too long into the school term like I did last year.
And today, I met (coincidentally), the most amount of friends in a day. Danny at SALT Centre, broken ankle Kenneth at Dhoby Ghaut station and Enying one escalator away (they were not together), and Natalie on the way home from buying sticker paper for invest. 4 friends in a day!
At least sticker paper turned out successful; we wouldn't have to spend quality 37th 'bonding time' sitting in council room for hours on end writing 150 schools' addresses.
Last but not least,
Merry Christmas!
Next year would be a better year. I seem to have this feeling.

Okay, I think I'll try for BSC, but with my packed schedule, I doubt the school would let me go after all :/
If I get chosen, I would only have 3 days to pack/ prepare stuff, the school would have to brief both my parents and I, and administrative matters would have to be settled within those 3 days.
Stuff to do before turning in tonight:
1. Check school's contact number
2. Check AngLC's contact number
3. Prepare a list of what to tell/ check with the school regarding BSC
4. Pack extra set of spectacles
Stuff to do before flight tomorrow, preferably before 9.45am:
1. Call the school
2. Depending on school's response, email passport to school from Changi Airport
3. Buy a 'Percy Jackson' book! :D
Oh and last-last night, I happened to jump off my bed too fast and had an abraision on exactly the same wound I got during HSC camp. It was almost fully healed and then another abraision had to appear right on top of it >:(

Argh! Decisions, decisions! Now I have two rather major decisions to make before the end of this weekend, which is before I leave Singapore:
1. Participation in SSEF.
I really don't know whether I should go for it? Ms Sandra Tan wants us to participate, but I think our group is really cannot-make-it anwyay, and we'll just go there to get owned. But then again, mere participation awards a couple of 'across' ACE points and can probably buff my SMTP portfolio
2. BSC with December batch.
Gahh! Initially, I opted to go for BSC within this year. If I choose to go next year, it will be a rather huge interruption to my studies. Especially considering the extent of 'damage' OB Sabah had done to me, getting me all distracted and stuff. I might be involved in OM too.
October's batch was not an option; as the date draws near, I realised that it would clash with Council Retreat, and it should be (ExCo's) responsibility to make themselves available for such a major event.
When I realised I had not been chosen to go for BSC in December, I started making plans for the holidays, such as reading
So shall I rot at home, or shall I spend a month and a half improving my Chinese in Beijing so I can sit for HCL O's next year with that extra handful of confidence?
Oh, and
3. Odyssey of the Mind (OM)
Three years down, am I willing to continue for the fourth year?
Tomorrow, almost my entire day will be spent at Uncle Winston's wedding too, so I won't have much of a chance to discuss my options with family and friends too. Mummy said it would be okay to wear black from head to toe, I hope I don't get killed/ cursed/ maimed tomorrow :/
(I'm bringing my white council shirt just in case)

Gahh, I'm rotting!
I'd initially thought I could go back to blogging everyday after the exams...
Everyday passes by so routinely (and uneventfully). No motivation to do anything useful. And the 25 hour day is back! I slept at 2am this morning and woke up at 1pm -.-
Perpetual nausea is back too. And my throat haven't had a 'good day' ever since school ended. It's always either inflamed, burnt by acid refluxes, extremely dry, or choked with phlegm.
I did nothing useful today, unless learning to hack/ modify program files and flying flight simulators consider as something useful.
Went to the police station too. Had to settle stuff regarding the misuse of my Ez-link card, the incident last time where my card was used to borrow 3 'foreign' books at Bukit Batok Library. I was told to try to identify one of the persons in the security camera snapshot, since I said that he looked slightly like a senior
Tomorrow shall be another sleepy/ rotten day again. Unless...
YES! I will go to the gym for at least half a day tomorrow!
Faulty tagboard again, takes forever to load.

Finally, last job of the year (I hope).
Bilingual Talent Camp was really tiring. And it didn't help that I was ill on the first day and tasked to come up with the montage on the second day.
Again, I think I failed as a facilitator. Well, at least I think my Chinese improved; I feel slightly more confident with Chinese.
And WongSM's son is freaking cute!
Somehow, it seems like something screwed has to happen every day of your life. I don't think I've every survived a day of not getting angry/ pissed/ sad/ emo/ any-other-negative-emotions before.
Today, an animal tried to 'exploit' me. Another hypocrite, as usual. I've no idea how somebody so irresponsible can become a chairman.
Elmer, Jing Zhe, Yi Zhao, Kevin, Wei Ren, Keane:
I'm sorry. Hope to see you in Hwa Chong.

Yet another week without posts.
Chairman voting was extremely rushed, I have no idea how we managed to run the show in the end. Everything was ready like 1 minute before consortium assembly.
The winner was sort of unexpected; most didn't see his win coming, I sort of foresaw the close fight during the presentations. Well, debators always have an unfair advantage for being the better speaker.
Somehow, the hippopotamus knew the ExCo results before they were released. Must have been leaked through the other hippo.
Results were
And then Council Retreat made me doubt the use of a council. For once. See, cynic? Why do people join the council nowadays? I don't see a concrete, justifiable and truthful reason why people join the council.
You would like to serve the school and be the bridge between the student body and the school admin? Why don't you just lie, flirt with girls, boast, and use council as a platform to satisfy your power cravings. Oh, and did I mention, it can boost your portfolio? Is that why you joined the council?
37th was decided today. I'm convinced I wouldn't be selected.
It's the end of my '09 council term.
Never thought about it...
The poles switch today?
