Hello world,
WOW I AM OFFICIALLY BUSHED.
Let's not really dwell on the weariness, though, 'cuz there's simply no time to begin with. I should go on now to detail everything that happened last week and this week too! (:
WEDNESDAY >> GUIDES! :D We cleaned the floor outside with acid, 'cuz we kinda stained it a little while painting :/
THURSDAY >> Hmm, nothing as far as I'm concerned.
FRIDAY >> SS TALK! I went with Lee Chin, and we happened to meet Louisa on the bus on the adjacent row. (: It was really really awesome to have them sit beside me and talk like good old times of 207. Loving 309 doesn't mean that 207 doesn't matter anymore (: AND YEAH, GOOD CATCHING UP, it was great.
SATURDAY >> I got a haircut! Andd I also went for the RI02 Campfire, with my batch. It was one of the most fun campfires ever, and pretty creative. :D HAHA the guy who dressed up as the girl was disturbingly A LOT like a girl. As in, he LOOKED like a girl. He even wore a denim (mini)skirt. o.O It was a cool bonding experience yo. (:
Friendship Week this week!
MATHHHHHH is killing me DD:
I did really badly for my first Math test, I'm sure. First of all, I think I punched in a lot of wrong numbers, and worse still, I forgot to square the outcome for Standard Deviation. Totally messed up, I tell you.
Even my histogram was so MESSED UP. ):
...Story of my life?
Haha not really. I REFUSE to give up on my Math. I mean, like, being defeated by Math is so not worth it, so I really shouldn't give up on it. Then at least I can say I tried my best. (:
BREAKINGNEWS: ZOMEE First Aid test tomorrow, and high standards. Oh yes, new Sec Ones coming in tomorrow! AWESOMEEE can't wait :D
Me, out.

holding onto dreams and surviving reality
Hello world,
I've been so busy that I haven't really had time to touch the computer, and whenever I do, it's too distracting because my subconscious must have decided that I deserve a little time-out or something.
There's been a lot of homework and a lot of stay-back days, so it's not exactly any of a wonder that I'm so bushed I feel like sleeping during class (I resist, though).
So, today is my sort-of break, and time to catch up on other things like my totally lacking Bio Journal. >< Oh, and to upload pictures on Facebook, because lately I've started taking tons of photos.
FRIDAY >> Guides room clean-up!
SATURDAY >> Wow, it took a whole day to get this done, but when it was done, it was absolutely fulfilling (: Everything was painted nicely and the Guides room looked so clean and neat :D We were ambitious, but we got it done in the end, and bonded over it as well!
SUNDAY >> Stayed for TZ, ate with Gladys, Sherine, Casandra and Lee Ben, hahaha. :D It was quite interesting, actually, and it was about angels. (:
MONDAY >> Not much stuff happened, not that I can remember. All I do recall is that I slept at 12 trying to finish that horrible Assignment 3 :/
And that's about it, really.
Today just featured Jocelyn's (Chinese) newspaper article reflection WHICH WAS HILARIOUS I tell you. Go watch the video on Facebook :D
(I accidentally changed the page that was loading the 2nd video, so I'll have to load it another time ): But at least the first one will be up! :D)
BREAKINGNEWS: Guides tomorrow, test on Safety Devices!
Me, out.

holding onto dreams and surviving reality
Hello world,
Y'know, the word 'busy' should be the theme of this year (and every year to come after this year, too, I'm sure). So this is what they meant when they said that we should treasure Year 2, because Year 3 hits you like a blast of wind to your face and you don't really have time to relax.
Well yeah, so I'm busy, and we're all busy and everything. :/ Not sure that I like this very much, because until now I still haven't had an opportunity to write, but I will find the time soon.
There's a lot of homework and the concepts we're learning in school isn't all that easy anymore. I was kinda lost in History, particularly because of the whole lack of sleep thing, and I could follow but the point is that, if I were to write the essay myself, I don't think I could do it. Yikes.
Oh, and it was good to see Jia Le and Hui Wen again today. Nothing beats seeing old friends once in a while, too, and talking to them :D
There are a few non-school-related challenges for me this year, but yeah, I'm dealing ;D And yes, writing, I musn't forget.
BREAKINGNEWS: Tomorrow during our free block the Welfare Comm has something special in mind that they've planned. I wonder what it is? (: I hope it'll be fun, pleasebefunIhopee. xD
So yeah, it's basically all about the homework right now. Not much interesting happening right now, though there are a few things that are but I'm loathe to post them on my blog (:
Me, out.
xX ~ We should give them a chance

holding onto dreams and surviving reality
Hello world,
Today was a long day, I s'pose.
We did class elections today, and here are our Class Exco 2010 (:
REESA CORRIE DESKER :D
as our class chair
Alethea Raelyn Tan as our vice-chair,
And Yingjiao as our other vice-chair.
Then we have SHERILYN and ELYSIA Widjaja as our secretaries,
And Yi Lin for our treasurer, yup.
I'm now the Social Studies rep o.O That doesn't sound so bad, does it. It's pretty alright and cool too, and I'm fine with it (:
And we had Guides session today, where everyone (except 4 people) failed the Safety Devices test and also, we had RI02 Joint Activity discussion. (Yeah, we're planning an event that includes the RI Scouts, too.)
Yeah, that's about all there is to today, really.
BREAKINGNEWS: I haven't been writing. That's really, really bad. DD:
And yeah, there's the amount of homework I have to deal with. But I really refuse to be stressed, because that would be bowing out to the workload and running away from my problems, and it's only just Week 4. Plus, on our own we have very little strength, but Felly and I are trying to internalise in us the fact that God is stronger and if we ask Him, He will guide us and bring us hope. It's sometimes hard to follow up on it; easy to say, hard to do, but we will try (:
Jiayou to everyone who is feeling weary from homework and everything!
Me, out.

holding onto dreams and surviving reality
Hello world,
Wow, I haven't been blogging, have I? ><
Yeah, the usual stuff - been busy, been trying to do homework, been here and been there and done this and that. I haven't even written in what, a week? That's bad (for me, that is, since I'm supposed to be the writer kid, who writes regularly). You know what they say - you lose it if you don't use it.
Hm, what significant things were there? Not much, really, except for this RS topic that excites me. Oh c'mon, if I study fairytales/fantasy and do some Lit analysis on them, shouldn't I at least show some enthusiasm when the topic is proposed in RS? No doubt there'll be a lot of people trying to do that topic, though, as heard from the excited murmurs from the audience and what not. Ahh well. Come to the worst, I guess I can try and propose a topic on fairytales or something.
They're so intriguing because they may or may not follow the general rules of the universe. This then allows them more freedom to explore things like metaphysical stuff (a dream within a dream?) and play off really cool themes and everything. Not that Lit books in general don't, but I have a special liking for fantasies because they were the first thing that I took interest in and thereby gave rise to better marks in Lit. I'm entirely fond of them :D
Frankenstein is intriguing :D I don't know, but it just is. The overdramatic diction and everything can get a little annoying but other than that it's turning out to be pretty interesting. That's not to say I'll be any good at it, though. I'm starting to think that I've lost whatever little edge I had in Lit already :/ I'm out of practice, yeah? DD:

holding onto dreams and surviving reality
Hello world,
Wow, yesterday was a really long day! It started off with school (as usual), and then there was Guides and footdrill, which wasn't bad at all save for the sweat getting into eyes bit, and then we sent Kayal off to the airport because she was migrating to Australia.
I think it was really great to see 207 again. It was almost like nothing had even changed at all, and we were still a class again. We were all isolated - as in, there weren't any other RG people around for a while - so it really did feel like 207 was still 207 and we were still Year Twos and everything.
Y'know, not that other things aren't great and all, but 207 is really, really special in ways I can't describe. Take CCQ for example, when she said that it feels like "we're still all classmates". And no matter what, I don't think we're forgetting about the 207 spirit anytime soon.
It was rejuvenating to be around a bunch of people that you could be 100% comfortable around with and a place that we all - Joan, CCQ, Kana, Brillia, Dami, Ashley and I - unanimously agree that we can "be ourselves". As Brillia says, it's just like "coming home". I think I agree.
(:
KAYAL LEAVING WAS REALLY SAD.
It's like, meeting 207 again, but at the same time, knowing that a friend was going to leave and hardly come back. You aren't going to see her in the halls anymore, you aren't going to get to laugh with her (or even chase her for that Chapter 7 that she'd borrowed for two months and only recently returned! xD) and all that jazz.
I mean, 207ners matter to all the other 207ners, I'm sure.
A lot of us cried and I got a little teary. Meeting up again, but for a sad event instead, argh. We took a million photos and everything, and we were actually allowed the right to crash photos which we all did. (Haha at the bit where all of us starts running and leaps into the picture at the back or squats in front or put their fingers in randomly!)
207 will always rock.
I know it.
I guess 309 will take some time. 207 did too, and even now 309 is pretty nice as it is. (: And when I say that, I mean everyone - like, the UG people and the sports people and the Performing Arts people. Everyone is all really nice and warm and pretty much friendly. But I know it'll take some time for us to be really really really bonded, and here's hoping that at the end of two years (or maybe earlier, even!) we will grow a lot closer.
:D
BREAKINGNEWS: Nothing much, really. Oh, I uploaded the airport photos onto Facebook - I recently got an account, ahaha!
That's about it, really. (:

holding onto dreams and surviving reality
Hello world,
Nothing much again today. Actually, school seems to be passing a lot faster now than it did in Year 2.
I've deleted the original Chapter II [Desirae's Story], if that's what you've been thinking. Hm, the person who commented makes sense, I s'pose, though it was more of a dedication than a let's-write-about-real-life-experience thing. :/ I guess I'll just re-write what I originally intended it to be, some Desirae musing on jobs and careers and what not. In fact, maybe I should just move subsequent - and nothing related to death anymore - chapters to my LJ and just lock it or something. Or my WP. Or something.
I wonder what Hilary and Nan and I are going to do about RS. A literary project, I guess? I wonder.
BREAKINGNEWS: None really, except that my patrol will be going for a campfire on 6 Feb (: Which feels really long later but isn't really after all.
Oh, and I went to eat out with Cher today. You know, catching up with old, or not-that-old friends. I guess 207 is a really precious memory to us too.
Nothing much more to say.
Me, out.
