An attempt at tumblr-ing on bs (just for the fun of it, so don't read too much into it):

A week's over and done with.
JC life's been really busy and rigorous, with early wake-ups, dizzy bus rides, crazy timetables, council meetings etc.
But at the very least, I'm glad to have friends there to liven things up, be it class, council, el or my usual bunch of great friends.
Lessons-wise, obviously the workload is building up (and pw hasnt kicked in). There are (some) boring lessons, difficult (math) tutorials, think-you-understand-but-then-again-not-really (econs) lectures/tutorials, pretty interesting (bio) lectures/practicals etc.
EL's on fridays and saturdays, which means I cant go for tennis lessons till maybe, May? Hmm, how am I gna answer to Coach? Feel darn guilty, and I will certainly miss playing tennis!
Oh, but el would be fun! & I needa improve on improv. HAHA.
That aside, yst was PA dinner. Sad that we cldnt meet up with the others at bukit timah (cuz 174's always full). Ended up at subway JP, where we realised the effects of the i-thought-it-was-over recession and had funny chats.
Today was dept meeting. Attendance was pretty disappointing, though it's definitely more than half lah. Lessons learnt were fruitful, insights were alright, ideas were crazy (and mostly, good). Dept lunch was spent at pepper lunch (i bet our jnrs were obssessed over pepper lunch!) de-boning my unagi, talking about obs (our year4 juniors are high over it), career aspirations, jc life (that's what happens when you have jx around. Haha, insightful guy) and all.
And the best part was that I had a chance to nap after I reached home... from 4 to 7.30. Damn shuang considering the shag-ness (?) after a whole week of school. But I'm still tired... And staring at me are:
1. GP Homework (article review and compre)
2. Math tutorial & assignment
3. Chem tutorial
4. Econs tutorial (to write everything out in prose)
5. EL character play and interpretation (psychologically speaking)
I want more crazy chats, rants and laughs over frappes. Hilarious and insightful. Strengthens the bond, and makes me realise just how similar we are.

The strength to carry on. Believe in ourselves. To transcend changes, to build a better tomorrow. We all feel weak, afraid and emotional. It's tough. But together, we unleash the strength within, to be a hero to others, to be a hero to self, to be her hero.

Change over continuity.
The losses that change has incurred, history has shown.
Change - A practical move or an idealistic pursuit?
Nevertheless, some things are for sure.
Affinity. I can sense it. Somehow. And I look forward to working together. For it's the start of something new, something great.
Synergy. I can feel it. One complements another who complements the other who complements the next who complements the first. Room for negotiation. A powerhouse, in short.
Capability. I can see it. The ability to strive, to improve, to realise goals and transcend changes. A revolutionary way of doing things. A chance at salvaging.
Impact. I can picture it. A force of determination. A beam of inspiration. An exudance of confidence. An image of strength. A feeling of unity. A rush of pride.
Success. I can't imagine it. I'd like to, but I can't. Perhaps partial success?
The brotherhood, the stringency, the passion, the conviction have got me all excited, but the rest breed uncertainty within.
Plans were made ahead of time in anticipation and preparation for improvement and an injection of hope & results. Perhaps even for an unprecedented change in impression. But in this new dimension? I wonder.
Change over continuity.
Change - A practical move or an idealistic pursuit?
(Rest assure though, I will nevertheless continue to strive regardless of the future, trust me. For it's been and will be a big part of my life, something I hold on to dearly.)

Okay, so I'm staring at a set of math tutorial questions, solving solving solving...the same question. I think I'm getting there. Seems correct. Brilliant. I'm wrong.
Tmr's double bio! :D bio ftw!
And I hope econs would be the right choice.

First post of the new year. Well, at least 2009's over. To think about it, 2009's been a year of many downs and few ups. A bad year maybe? Well, at least 2009's over.
Orientation's over, which is kindof sad yet relieving. Sad cuz sth you held on to so dearly and spent so much time on has ended. And it leaves a void in your mind, in your life. And with that void, the mind starts to wander. To think of stuff, impt or not, stupid or not. Secondly, it's relieving because the mad rush and high pressure are now over. And the response was indeed btr, as was the entire concept. Infinite thanks to all JC Councillors, esp the Org Comm ppl who have been working so hard to make this possible. Not forgetting our class facs who worked tirelessly and our kidnap 'ghosts' for their innovatively scary make-up! Game masters too! And of course, the actors - hilarious!
Well, it's kindof late but here're my resolutions for 2010:
1. To love econs. Life would suck studying a subject I do not rly like or am afraid of.
2. To learn to appreciate the Chinese language, and improve my Chinese (even after O's)
3. To do well for syf, and have fun in the process (improve my acting skills)
4. To devote more time to Welfare and raise the standards of our projects
5. To devote more time to my bro, friends and family, instead of being buried in work all the time
6. To be committed to tennis and attend lessons, in order to improve
7. To do more community service...it's about time I learnt to share and appreciate what I have
8. To help around the house with chores and such
9. To keep my desk neat and tidy
10. To read widely and appreciate (the more popular, for a start) literature
11. For 5E to be a bonded class
12. To learn to cook tom yam (so I can have em anytime)
13. For RVNCC to improve standards-wise and in terms of the spirit (apparently, I cant seem to forget ncc, though I'm no longer a member)
14. To spend more time coaching my brother
15. Continue to pursue jap & geog
So as you can see, it's mainly to do with time management and being there for others - sth I've neglected in 2009.
