Alright, i'm finally back here after one long week! =)

I believe my posts may seem convoluted, random and disorganised to some/many readers out there, but well, too bad for you =) it isn't really written for you people to read specially anyway...

first of all, think people who come here would have realised that i have a new song up! its love so sweet by arashi, and it owns. i'm so totally in love with it...must have listened to it a hundred times in the past few days. thanks to victor for sending me those brilliant jap songs! love so sweet, beautiful days, god knows, colors, they all rock!

and i think i like dancing. you know my HCL lessons every thursday, right beside it modern dance/street dance (duno which it is but nvm) have their practices on. then whenever i walk out for toliet breaks i see them going at it. looks so cool...and i really want to join them. like, i can imagine myself jamming to the music and all that. just that i may get laughed at for my noobness. i'm definitely putting bodyjam as my first choice for the PE electives, and may i get it =)

been really busy the past week...

had giis tie entrepreneurship plan competition presentation (what a long name when spelt out in full eh) on friday. truth be told, it had not gone according to plan, and we ran grossly short of time. it was probably our main tripping stone; our plan/report seemed much more comprehensive and well thought out then most of the other teams' there.
oh well, take it as a lesson learnt. these things take time and experience.
but i really agree with victor that our team was, to be honest, hardly coordinated or really working as a team at all. it was literally "you do this i do that" and then get some guy to compile everything, and end of story. i've never liked this, and it really lacks the "teamwork" element totally. you dont feel part of any bigger picture, and you're essentially just doing things yourself ultimately. if i do participate in another similar competition, i'll be sure to make sure that this doesnt happen again.

had some crazy pw spamming through this week too. PI and GPP were the main culprits, sort of. had to hit the central library on friday after returning to school from giis to do some research on our gpp topic. though i think the session didnt actually turn out that well...perhaps it was because we were all beat and couldnt really get our spirits up. or maybe that i just hadnt got a proper agenda or flow of the day right, thus explaining why we were doing things all over the place and in a haphazard order. its no wonder that everyone hates pw for what it makes us do (sorry mr koh...)

but anyway, had a pw meeting in school on saturday, and i guess as we were all not so sure about haw par villa we had decided to make a trip down. cabbed there ^.^, was around 10 bucks...and my group stared at me when i took out money from my wallet and paid the taxi driver >.> whats wrong with paying for the group hmph. getting everyone to fish out 2bucks-odd is the more disorganised and messy alternative what...

anyway back to the trip (which was my first ever to HPV btw), i realised that HPV actually isnt too big a place. it looks huge on the map, but in reality most of the space is taken up by the exhibits/displays/statues. so taking a tour round the entire place didnt take us more than 30minutes. sadly did not manage to go into the hua song museum for a tour, would probably have been more fun...haha and yitian was clamouring to go see the ten courts of hell very badly. i was like "oh you want to recce the place so that in future when you go there after you die wont feel so unfamiliar right?" XD ok sorry la yitian, just a joke...i'm sure you could tell haha. had a group pic taken there too, should probably be up on facebook soon =)

after that, we (excluding junyan since he had to leave to go bai bai haha) then took a bus to clement mrt, but on the way yitian said she saw some nice place with nice food (west coast plaza right?) so we got off there. decided on subway because of the new meal price there? 6inch sub + large drink + 2 cookies/1 bag of chips for 5.90. we all thought it was quite worth compared to the usual pricing there, so we went. and i must comment that the cookies were pure ownage. gotta go try again sometime.

we actually spent close to an hour sitting at subway now that i think of it. talked about alot of things, council, our class (as kejia got a random sms from a classmate whom we dont think would write such stuff, and started postulating who it was), pw groupings, and lots of other stuff. i really like these kind of things cause you get to learn alot alot about others, and i dont think i would have minded sitting there the entire day talking till night. though, my parents would, and so would i eventually i guess, thinking of all the homework that i neglected.

bus + mrt ride back home was interesting and fulfilling, to say the least. there was this interesting incident where this SMALL (by this i mean maybe kindergarten age max) guy and this SMALL girl had something going on between them. they seemed to uh...like each other? =/ i mean seriously they seemed to want to go to each other and er not sure do what when they met (which unfortunately didnt transpire during the time that i was there). haha and me and sharon were too busy laughing and commenting about the young couple in the making that time passed all too soon and my stop was due very quickly. hai, time does indeed fly when you're having fun.

went to the gym yesterday, and it felt good. i dont mean i like the pain and all that, but you know when you think about the benefits that it will bring you eventually, the motivation will be there. just hope that i will be able to sustain constant weekly gym session from now on, already missed 2 for the the past 2 weeks...by the way, missing gym sessions/exercise really do alot to pull down your performance. so, consistent work is the key! ah, but my pullup count is still at 5! sian. personal goal: to reach 10 and keep it there (at least, if not increase) by start of next year? it's definitely possible; i was able to go from 0 in sec3/4 to 5 now (and trust me when i say that i never thought it would be possible for me), so think and dream big man! =)
oh, and i realised that i can do commando pushups now =D why? well, probably largely due to my gym efforts and all, but another thing may be that its really scary to try it for the first time, since you know, if you fail and your chin/jaw hits the floor...you're screwed. *ouch*

right now, i'm pretty burdened down by the work that i have. for npcc, its really hectic and rushed as i gotta get the proposal for the sec3 leadership training programme done by tonight and get it approved by mr koh, vet the sec4's ppt for the sec3 unit hierachy briefing on this weds, as well as create an interview form + feedback form. omg stress ah...so bogged down.
acdemic work wise, pw/gpp is bad as ever, some parts are just plain confusing and the sms communication with the teacher isnt helping all that much...well, sms isnt almighty, that i gotta admit. and very very lucky that this week has no test (except econs? but that can take home to do WHOO), chem got pushed to next week, heard that it was to give us more time to study ha. but chem and phy are on the same day next week so let's all say gg in advance =( and chemical bonding is really win...no idea what is hybridisation, and the VSEPR...gone. perhaps chem remedial would really be helpful.

ok i think i shall get back to books (or at least try to). been on the com for the past 3 hours already, doing pretty much nothing constructive. i'm damn inefficient...but right now, i'm feeling quite elated over the chances and times that i've got over the past few days, and i'm happy for that. i just hope it can stay this way, forever and ever.

to end off my post for today, here are the lyrics from love so sweet! translated from jap of course. think its good enough to describe my feelings...here you go. enjoy =)


Ever since I realised that what was shining wasn’t the mirror and it wasn’t the sun – it was you
The moon smiling way above the tearful clouds, one more love story

My wounded dreams are yesterday now
Let my love song ring out into the sky

Memory, I’ll never, ever forget this sky, even if we’re apart
There’ll never again be a season when I meet someone I love so much
Shine brighter, my greatest lady, this love is sure to softly reach you
Believing is everything, love so sweet

I hold out my hand to the sky so I can always see it from there
And memories of being with you spread out
I was so obstinate and stubborn
And you changed me, a love story is set in motion

May our two winding roads
Merge together here and become a rainbow

Memory, I’ve been chasing this dream all this time, even if we go far away
No matter how tough the night, even if you're about to give up on your promise
Smile more, my final lady, this love is sure to softly reach you
There’s no night that won’t give way to the dawn, love so sweet

This love I can’t tell you about
Becomes flowers that rain down on the town
No matter where I am, I feel you here

Memory, I’ll never, ever forget this sky, even if we’re apart
There’ll never again be a season when I meet someone I love so much
Shine brighter, my greatest lady, this love is sure to softly reach you
Believing is everything
There’s no night that won’t give way to the dawn
Believing is everything, love so sweet
