VJC Cross-country today. Theme was "Home Run" (you know... 跑吧，孩子！) and I was made to dress up. Quite a cool experience actually, but I swear I was super desperate. Threw my DHS Level Camp shirt on the wet toilet ground, stepped on it and kicked it around, then cut some holes and wore it. Then Nat and Ivan had to remind me that the toilet is very dirty and there's pee all over it and everything. Halfway through the race I soaked my shoes into sea water as well to make me look more wasted and haggard. Finally ended up with my shoes around my neck and barefooted. Swear I lost my dignity. HAHA but quite fun lah, reminds me of 2008 Teacher's Day when 4E was so spontaneous and cool.

Thank god my efforts did pay off and Phoenix won 2nd for Best Dressed. Oh yeah, I bathed after that. Very important point to note. Had lunch with 08s65 and 09s65 at Thaipan then went back to DHS! It was very last minute, cause we were supposed to have House Comm meeting at first but then it was cancelled and at the very last minute I decided I might as well go back. Wushu ended by the time I got there. But anyway I stepped into the canteen and saw Siyun/Benjamin/Zona and sat and talked to them. HAHA I think I didn't even inform anyone that I was going back. Had quite a fun time actually, though most of the classmates were busy with their CCAs: CO, dance, sailing and all. Jessica came after a while and they were very nice to take me on a tour-de-dunman since I haven't yet got to explore the new school. At all. Camped at some LT afterwards and talked, had quite a good laugh over some things. :)


Yup and since I already dug out photos from my phone, I'll share 2 others with you. These were actually taken one afternoon in January when I was at Buangkok MRT waiting for bus 27 to get to Tampines for work. There was strong wind, the sun was damn warm and red and I thought it might make a good picture. Cool right, that cleaner looks like America's Next Top Model under my camera and skills!

House Comm interview today. It's finally over, I'm totally relieved. Pre-interview was a bad experience, I reached home yesterday and had a few hours but my brain just tossed over a mock-interview session. Didn't even unpack my bag cause there was no intention to start on work. I drank Red Bull (for the first time in my life!) 5 minutes before the interview but I guess it didn't take effect. The interview was a failure. I bored the judges off, my dance was bad and I was nervous like a piece of -. I even accidentaly stepped on the Phoenix head doing the "catwalk" (I SWEAR I WAS HAVING JELLY LEGS!) Nah, I can't entertain for nuts. Anyway it was scary but it must have been really hard on the house comm-ers as well cause after the interview they dropped the act and were really nice. Clariss (?) almost thought I was crying when I took off my spectacles (LOL) to clean off the water vapour cast on it. And Jo-ann sent me an apology SMS after the interview. Seriously it must have been super tough to play the bad guy huh.

Oh yeah and I danced to some song selected by the interviewers. Should have taken the initiative to come up with my own songs. Lady Marmalade, or anything else Lady GaGa/Britney Spears would have been a million times more successful LOL. I must have been too scared, didn't get to actually enjoy myself there. I don't actually mind going again, HAHA maybe Red Bull's taking effect now but I could seriously do some awesome S-E-X-Y moves with Lady GaGa's Just Dance right now.

Oh yeah and I gotta thank some people: firstly Alvina for going late for wushu and accompanying/encouraging me before and after the interview (I totally owe you one man!), the 09s65 classmates for cheering me on the entire day and the Hs for encouraging me yesterday night when we went out for dinner and after I told them I'm feeling really nervous about it. Yuting too for SMS-ing me today to ask me about it :) Thanks to all of you seriously, you guys rock!

Anyway it's my mum's birthday today so I'm off to celebrate it. She doesn't know how to really use the internet so she won't see this but I still wanna thank her for everything that's she done for us, her wonderful cooking and all her sacrifices.

Hello world, I'm up here again to whine about the inconsistencies of JC life and how sluggish it can get. I'm totally not catching up with the pace of the teachers, I fell asleep through a few Physics and Economics tutorials and lectures. I have zilch idea what Econs is about (yes, even till now) and I have piles of tutorials undone. VJ's concurrently doing like 2 or 3 different topics for every subject, which makes things hell lot worse. I need at least a full day to catch up on what's happening and another 2 full days to finish up my undone tutorials. It's impossible. Adidas have been lying through their teeth all this while.

I can't cope. Swear. House Comm's going to take up my weekends already for cheerleading practice and that means I won't have a free full day at all till after 13 March. Maybe not even then.

And another problem here. I don't have the cheek to go to the library to study during free periods. Not actually "cheek", but more like I'm not mentally hyped enough to go and hit on the tutorials while everyone's having good fun doing something else. And the devil inside me tells me that I could actually just heck since it's only JC1, but I still don't really trust him. I'm having too little time, I might really have to quit 1 CCA soon enough. Taking on 2 sports is impossible. Much less to say 2 sports and House Comm. Sense white hairs popping out real soon.

Really busy right now, and the only reason why I'm blogging is cause it's already 2plus AM and I swore to myself I'll sleep after this so this could be considered my free time; in a sense. Did some Chemistry just now but that was seriously all. Fell asleep immediately after dinner yesterday despite the strong determination to get down to some work. Working full day at Pepper Lunch tomorrow (technically today; shit I hate having to write that down), which also means tomorrow's completely wasted.

I still have my final PI undone and there's also a GP article review in midst of all the subject tutorials which I haven't even started on. Wait, scratch that, I don't even know whats in the topics. My attention span is super short, especially now I'm not sitting beside Sandra on my right and nobody on my left in the 4E classroom LT. Sandra's always in pace with the lessons so it psychologically keeps me in pace as well. But now I'm talking left-right-up-down it adds on to the short attention span. Tried a few times to listen to Chemistry during Thursday/Friday's lecture but failed terribly. Anne too. HAHAHA, we didn't even notice when the entire lecture theater was already 2 pages in front.

Wushu training today, which is also why I started on Chemistry so late, and cheerleading practice on Friday. I know, it sounds gay but I don't really have a choice cause House Comm applicants are supposed to sign up for it anyway. Anyway the workshop was actually quite fun to attend, learnt some cool shizz despite the poor turnout from Phoenix house. OH and I learnt a few moves in Wushu today, which was kind of shiok. I can finally cart-wheel after 16 years of my life.

I thought that for the very first day today I could reach home before dinner time, but still I didn't manage to. The past few days have been CCA-filled, I think I'll have to drop one soon cause everyone tells me 2 sports are impossible to cope. But that's so bastard-y right? Dunno, I think I'm just kiasu. Oh yeah, went out with s65 for lunch at Parkway today cause lessons ended early and little people had CCA, Robin's a real joker, got damn high after school in V38 cause he was super drama.

Oh yeah and saw Anthea and Weijia in Parkway, and a DHS volleyball c'div guy in Serangoon, which was kinda cool.

2 random notes:
Szeying told me that it was ER-HEM gay to fold up my VJ uniform sleeves but the uniform is really really huge! Such that I look haggard cause of its size. Everyone else tells me its rather gay too. Maybe I should really stop folding it. Hmmm,
And erm, I'd admit I have a PRC face (f***!). All my s65 classmates keep on bringing up that point, as much as I refuse to believe it but I realised during VJ orientation Yasmin mentioned it too and just today during lunch Zhengchu (a PRC classmate) told me that I looked like one as well. DO I REALLY? Now emo liao lor, HAHAHA

I'm rather jumpy right now cause my 5 Threadless tees arrived today and the previous online buys: 1 t-shirt from Busted tees, another shirt from 80s tees and my Fred Perry wallet are finally all here. This also marks the end of online shopping for the moment. Now I have so many new tees but I don't get to wear them. Seriously don't see the point, LOL.

Oh, and I've learnt to take things slowly since our seniors last year were probably still fooling around at this time and they still managed to get good grades after all. And erm, I had better start on PI though I've been nagging about doing it the past week.

At least I have about 2 hours to slowly start on PI today, I barely had any time the past few days.

My mum has been shouting at me constantly the past few days. Curry spills on my 1-day-old VJ uniform, black stains on the VJ pants (must be the tree house!) and taking up so many CCAs. Okay, wushu, volleyball and house comm (if I could even get into it). Could get a little busy given that I'm not intelligent (I'm lying. I've always secretly felt that I was kind of smart) and I'll need to mug a lot to catch up with classes. Wushu's taking up Wednesdays and Saturdays while volleyball's Tuesdays and Fridays. I'm reaching home rather late everyday (dinner time or later) and after a bath and dinner, the next thing I feel like doing is sleep. Okay, facebook first, sleep next.

Because I hardly even have time to do anything else (like my routines of blogging, reading magazines etc) I am going to start to limit online time to one hour everyday. Effective from tomorrow. I seriously cannot stand Chemistry lessons anymore. The subject sucks, and tutorials are a piece of crap, there's so much unneccesary information and it makes things so complex I am not even sure I understand mole concept anymore. Suddenly I miss Mrs Ong so much. Oh yeah, and I can't grasp the concepts for JC Redox. Really feel like changing to computing right now. Plus VJC is actually juggling 3 different chapters on-going for every subject currently. 1 done in tutorials, and 2 concurrently going on in tutorials. The workload could kill me, but I'm not in the mood to do revision. At all.

AND AND AND having classmates like Brian Wong Chun Keet is not helping cause he already finished every single one of his tutorials before lessons even start, and just today I sat beside him during Chemistry which made lessons double stressful.

Someone save me please!

Mass OG BBQ on Friday. Friday didn't exactly rock cause I switched my school bag for fun and ended up bringing to school an empty spectacle case cause I left my spectacles in another bag in a small compartment. I felt absolutely blind. I practically went through half the tutorials stoning cause I couldn't see anything that was projected up on screen or what was written on the board. And secondly, by the end of the day my phone battery went flat. I felt like a disabled cavemen. I couldn't see, I couldn't use technology.

Mass OG BBQ was not too bad despite it getting dark and my vision getting worse. A6 played stress in which Gerald totally owned the scene but heck. Oh erm all of us actually cycled for an hour and on the way back to return the bikes, Fred was hurt. I hanged him on the handlebars of the bicycle at first cause I didn't want to look gay and tote it. But then after a couple of metres I realised Fred was rubbing against the bicycle tires thus still tote-d it anyway. Didn't notice the injury till I got on the bus. Poor Fred, he looks so emo now. But nevermind. Now Fred's scar could remind me of cycling with A6 which was rather enjoyable anyway :)



Oh yeah, and on a sidenote, I think I didn't manage to get the MOE Scholarship since Mr Teo KH sent us an email saying "dear all, you have gone for your interview and..." which probably means MOE informed everyone who should have been informed. Also, House Comm application keels me. It's so tough to do and there's so much to go through. AND my mum nags at me for taking up so many CCAs. Maybe it's because my brother had only 1 photog. club in Hwachong and he's only semi-active in it anyway that's why she thinks it's such a biggie. But anyway I'll still choose to give up one of them probably some time around June. Just don't know which.

Can I like just kill myself? I uploaded my new set of blogskin image links up on fileden.com, half a month ago, which supposedly has 5 times the bandwidth of photobucket, but yet the bandwidth is busted again. I'm already super tired from the tutorials and CCAs and I still have to deal with these. Whatever, anyway I'm not creating blogskins anymore. I'll heck for the time being. Erm but anyway to anyone who's concerned, please go to http://s410.photobucket.com/albums/pp185/bolong02/

PE lessons tire me out cause we're supposed to run and build up our stamina for upcoming cross-country run compulsory for all students. I've been really sleepy everyday this week but I can't usually get to sleep cause there's so much to do. House comm application form eats up half the time. I don't even feel like getting on the tutorials. Poor me, it's only the first week of school and I'm so buzzed. Eh anyway I can't make it to DHS tomorrow anymore cause of the mass OG BBQ but then here's some good news: I could arrange to go back to DHS (instead of Chung Cheng) for wushu trainings with Cheehow and Zhangqian. COOL HUH?

Wow, first day of school. I'm still in orientation mood but so far it's been not so bad cause everything seems to settle quite quickly. Maybe it's because lessons haven't really started, had quite a few introduction to subjects and the rest were quite slack. Guilty: I dozed off during the very first lecture in VJC. It was Physics, but the lecturer was quite an old man and his voice was monotone and he kind of moooooos. Can't believe it, swear I tried my best to stay awake cause it's bad omen to fall asleep on the first lecture in VJ. Oh and the sound system in LT4 had something to do with me sleeping as well. There's this resonating "mmmmmm" from the mike and it makes me really drowsy. My wushu senior agreed with me on that point as well.

And erm, first wushu training today, not bad. Seniors were kind of friendly so even though it was in Chung Cheng it was still fine. Volleyball trials tomorrow, I'll just attend and see-how. Cheehow says I'm joining too many CCAs :( Have been really tired this entire week. I think late school days and CCAs are taking its toll.

School hasn't even officially started and I'm already feeling the pump. I'm finally starting to touch pen and paper again and there's quite a whole lot to do. Oh yeah, I signed up for VJC House Comm and also an MOE scholarship. Which are basically the 2 things keeping me busy right now. I paid $1.99 for the house comm application booklet which asks questions like: "Count the number of roof tiles in VJC" and "List 100.3 things you would do before you die". It's all in the name of fun but how the hell am I supposed to answer those anyway? Oh yeah, but I like the part about paying money for the application form. Eliminates those scrimpy competitors :) And about the MOE scholarship: it's been my dream. If the 4E classmates remembers, during the start of secondary 4 I had this period when I got mad over attaining scholarships. One of my bigger lifetime goal was to get a scholarship. Yes, this might be a pre-university scholarship I'm applying for but so what. I love the prestige of scholarships.

Oh yeah, and I'll need to take some time to prepare (mentally) for the interviews (if I even make it pass to that round) which are like polar opposites. One is crazy while the other uber serious.

AND AND not to forget the VJ-Dunmanians might probably be visiting Dunman High this friday! HOW VERY EXCITING HAHAHAHA!!!

I realised s65 was not as bad as I expected, quite fun actually, I haven't interacted with the scholars in my class but so far those who have been in my group today are really cool. And I was shocked to also find out that VJC wushu actually trains with Chung Cheng wushu. Like who knew right? And I'm damn sure I'll feel seriously out of place cause that's like basically wushu elitist gathering. I haven't done wushu for about an entire year already. Plus my sword's broken so... yeah, I'll need time to get used to. CCA feels so screwed up now that I suck at everything.

OHOH and I realised that lots of people wear the Converse shoes I'm wearing, and that a classmate has a Nike bag of the same series as the borrowed one from my brother. See, another proof that cliche brands in Singapore are must-not-buys. Now I feel like buying new ones, but in lieu of the current financial crisis, I think I'll stick with my shoes but come out with another bag to bring anyway.

And another note about school start. I just tried on my school uniform, and it's kind of big. Are they really sure S is the smallest shirt size? I pity those people like me who are short and small. We'd have to literally swim in our shirts. Screw them really. I really want an XS. Especially when I'm quite particular with shirt sizes.

OG Allorix 6!

VJC Orientation was seriously great. OG 6's really fun and we're hyped up all the way so the experience was definitely great. OGLs Chunyin, Jazz, Josephine and Rish were really great people as well. I'm in S65. I really hope the class's fine or I'll seriously consider switching subject combi to computing instead of chemistry in hope of a better class. I already prayed about 10 times during the holiday break, and Guan Yin Niang Niang dotes on me :) so I'm expecting good results. HAHAHA!!!

Oh yeah, and erm ever since I left Dunman High I felt that I'm suddenly much more united with Dunmanians or something. I could chat up random level mates on the streets even though we barely knew each other. Oh yeah and it was really nice to see the lot of Dunmanians (Zenn, Pingteck, Ashley, Chaoyuan and all) at Suntec when they crashed VJC mass dance. Miss seeing all of them.

Oh yeah and after yesterday's mass dance at Suntec went to Jieting's house to stay over! I was really desperate cause I told them I'll reach around 9.30 but by then I was still lost in Suntec cause I couldn't figure out where the 16 busstop was. Thanks to Chishun and OG A6. I bumped into them twice and they totally helped me. It was a very mad night. My phone batt was at 1% that night and I didn't know how to get to Jieting's condo at Haig Court. I was rushing against time and I fell asleep at an interval on bus 16 and missed my stop and went all the way to the VJC busstop till I realised I missed the parkway stop. Ended up cabbing to her house. The stayover was pretty cool cause Jieting's rich and that condo is unused so we could run and scream about the house without anyone caring. She had this cool surround sound system about the entire house and I swear I'm going to implement it in my future house as well.

Anyway still, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUTING!

School's started for me. I'm still having pretty mixed feelings since I really looked forward to this day ever since school's started for the Dunmanians and everyone's having school events while I'm working. Orientation has been pretty well planned, seriously it has been quite good so far, the mass dances are really fun to learn (I never really liked mass dances) but I personally think there are one too many mass dances. Like what? 6?

OG has been quite fun, I'm finally making friends from other races. My social circle has been 100% Chinese before this. Anyway tonight's the last chance to submit subject combination. I decided on physics, math, econs and chemistry over computing. Because 1) VJC didn't have a subject briefing on computing (yes, everything was covered except computing) and 2) I prayed for guidance from Buddha and 观音娘娘 (guanyinniangniang) and flipped a shiny one dollar coin thrice. I got "flowers" all 3 times and that's a definite yes for chemistry. Let's hope I don't regret this. :)

Today at work some little girl around age 9 called me uncle and asked for an empty bowl. And she's chubby and short, which makes it worse. [Wish I could slap that puny midget's cheeks] Just kidding. I complained to the next door auntie and she laughed, but I don't know how she probably got an impression that I was emo about that comment, in 4 other occasions she actually came and told me that the girl probably only said so cause she was too young to know better and that I don't need to really care so much about it. No, I wasn't the least angry, I even laughed out loud in front of the girl hearing the word. I think I saw her sister giving her a nudge.

School's starting tomorrow, and I'm having some serious runny nose now, gotta sleep soon.

VJC Cross-country today. Theme was "Home Run" (you know... 跑吧，孩子！) and I was made to dress up. Quite a cool experience actually, but I swear I was super desperate.

And secondly, by the end of the day my phone battery went flat. I felt like a disabled cavemen. I couldn't see, I couldn't use technology.

Mass OG BBQ was not too bad despite it getting dark and my vision getting worse. A6 played stress in which Gerald totally owned the scene but heck. Oh erm all of us actually cycled for an hour and on the way back to return the bikes, Fred was hurt. I hanged him on the handlebars of the bicycle at first cause I didn't want to look gay and tote it. But then after a couple of metres I realised Fred was rubbing against the bicycle tires thus still tote-d it anyway. Didn't notice the injury till I got on the bus. Poor Fred, he looks so emo now. But nevermind. Now Fred's scar could remind me of cycling with A6 which was rather enjoyable anyway :)



Oh yeah, and on a sidenote, I think I didn't manage to get the MOE Scholarship since Mr Teo KH sent us an email saying "dear all, you have gone for your interview and..." which probably means MOE informed everyone who should have been informed. Also, House Comm application keels me. It's so tough to do and there's so much to go through. AND my mum nags at me for taking up so many CCAs. Maybe it's because my brother had only 1 photog. club in Hwachong and he's only semi-active in it anyway that's why she thinks it's such a biggie. But anyway I'll still choose to give up one of them probably some time around June. Just don't know which.

Can I like just kill myself? I uploaded my new set of blogskin image links up on fileden.com, half a month ago, which supposedly has 5 times the bandwidth of photobucket, but yet the bandwidth is busted again. I'm already super tired from the tutorials and CCAs and I still have to deal with these. Whatever, anyway I'm not creating blogskins anymore. I'll heck for the time being. Erm but anyway to anyone who's concerned, please go to http://s410.photobucket.com/albums/pp185/bolong02/

PE lessons tire me out cause we're supposed to run and build up our stamina for upcoming cross-country run compulsory for all students. I've been really sleepy everyday this week but I can't usually get to sleep cause there's so much to do. House comm application form eats up half the time. I don't even feel like getting on the tutorials. Poor me, it's only the first week of school and I'm so buzzed. Eh anyway I can't make it to DHS tomorrow anymore cause of the mass OG BBQ but then here's some good news: I could arrange to go back to DHS (instead of Chung Cheng) for wushu trainings with Cheehow and Zhangqian. COOL HUH?

Wow, first day of school. I'm still in orientation mood but so far it's been not so bad cause everything seems to settle quite quickly. Maybe it's because lessons haven't really started, had quite a few introduction to subjects and the rest were quite slack. Guilty: I dozed off during the very first lecture in VJC. It was Physics, but the lecturer was quite an old man and his voice was monotone and he kind of moooooos. Can't believe it, swear I tried my best to stay awake cause it's bad omen to fall asleep on the first lecture in VJ. Oh and the sound system in LT4 had something to do with me sleeping as well. There's this resonating "mmmmmm" from the mike and it makes me really drowsy. My wushu senior agreed with me on that point as well.

And erm, first wushu training today, not bad. Seniors were kind of friendly so even though it was in Chung Cheng it was still fine. Volleyball trials tomorrow, I'll just attend and see-how. Cheehow says I'm joining too many CCAs :( Have been really tired this entire week. I think late school days and CCAs are taking its toll.

School hasn't even officially started and I'm already feeling the pump. I'm finally starting to touch pen and paper again and there's quite a whole lot to do. Oh yeah, I signed up for VJC House Comm and also an MOE scholarship. Which are basically the 2 things keeping me busy right now. I paid $1.99 for the house comm application booklet which asks questions like: "Count the number of roof tiles in VJC" and "List 100.3 things you would do before you die". It's all in the name of fun but how the hell am I supposed to answer those anyway? Oh yeah, but I like the part about paying money for the application form. Eliminates those scrimpy competitors :) And about the MOE scholarship: it's been my dream. If the 4E classmates remembers, during the start of secondary 4 I had this period when I got mad over attaining scholarships. One of my bigger lifetime goal was to get a scholarship. Yes, this might be a pre-university scholarship I'm applying for but so what. I love the prestige of scholarships.

Oh yeah, and I'll need to take some time to prepare (mentally) for the interviews (if I even make it pass to that round) which are like polar opposites. One is crazy while the other uber serious.

AND AND not to forget the VJ-Dunmanians might probably be visiting Dunman High this friday! HOW VERY EXCITING HAHAHAHA!!!

I realised s65 was not as bad as I expected, quite fun actually, I haven't interacted with the scholars in my class but so far those who have been in my group today are really cool. And I was shocked to also find out that VJC wushu actually trains with Chung Cheng wushu. Like who knew right? And I'm damn sure I'll feel seriously out of place cause that's like basically wushu elitist gathering. I haven't done wushu for about an entire year already. Plus my sword's broken so... yeah, I'll need time to get used to. CCA feels so screwed up now that I suck at everything.

OHOH and I realised that lots of people wear the Converse shoes I'm wearing, and that a classmate has a Nike bag of the same series as the borrowed one from my brother. See, another proof that cliche brands in Singapore are must-not-buys. Now I feel like buying new ones, but in lieu of the current financial crisis, I think I'll stick with my shoes but come out with another bag to bring anyway.

And another note about school start. I just tried on my school uniform, and it's kind of big. Are they really sure S is the smallest shirt size? I pity those people like me who are short and small. We'd have to literally swim in our shirts. Screw them really. I really want an XS. Especially when I'm quite particular with shirt sizes.

OG Allorix 6!

VJC Orientation was seriously great. OG 6's really fun and we're hyped up all the way so the experience was definitely great. OGLs Chunyin, Jazz, Josephine and Rish were really great people as well. I'm in S65. I really hope the class's fine or I'll seriously consider switching subject combi to computing instead of chemistry in hope of a better class. I already prayed about 10 times during the holiday break, and Guan Yin Niang Niang dotes on me :) so I'm expecting good results. HAHAHA!!!

Oh yeah, and erm ever since I left Dunman High I felt that I'm suddenly much more united with Dunmanians or something. I could chat up random level mates on the streets even though we barely knew each other. Oh yeah and it was really nice to see the lot of Dunmanians (Zenn, Pingteck, Ashley, Chaoyuan and all) at Suntec when they crashed VJC mass dance. Miss seeing all of them.

Oh yeah and after yesterday's mass dance at Suntec went to Jieting's house to stay over! I was really desperate cause I told them I'll reach around 9.30 but by then I was still lost in Suntec cause I couldn't figure out where the 16 busstop was. Thanks to Chishun and OG A6. I bumped into them twice and they totally helped me. It was a very mad night. My phone batt was at 1% that night and I didn't know how to get to Jieting's condo at Haig Court. I was rushing against time and I fell asleep at an interval on bus 16 and missed my stop and went all the way to the VJC busstop till I realised I missed the parkway stop. Ended up cabbing to her house. The stayover was pretty cool cause Jieting's rich and that condo is unused so we could run and scream about the house without anyone caring. She had this cool surround sound system about the entire house and I swear I'm going to implement it in my future house as well.

Anyway still, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YUTING!

School's started for me. I'm still having pretty mixed feelings since I really looked forward to this day ever since school's started for the Dunmanians and everyone's having school events while I'm working. Orientation has been pretty well planned, seriously it has been quite good so far, the mass dances are really fun to learn (I never really liked mass dances) but I personally think there are one too many mass dances. Like what? 6?

OG has been quite fun, I'm finally making friends from other races. My social circle has been 100% Chinese before this. Anyway tonight's the last chance to submit subject combination. I decided on physics, math, econs and chemistry over computing. Because 1) VJC didn't have a subject briefing on computing (yes, everything was covered except computing) and 2) I prayed for guidance from Buddha and 观音娘娘 (guanyinniangniang) and flipped a shiny one dollar coin thrice. I got "flowers" all 3 times and that's a definite yes for chemistry. Let's hope I don't regret this. :)

Today at work some little girl around age 9 called me uncle and asked for an empty bowl. And she's chubby and short, which makes it worse. [Wish I could slap that puny midget's cheeks] Just kidding. I complained to the next door auntie and she laughed, but I don't know how she probably got an impression that I was emo about that comment, in 4 other occasions she actually came and told me that the girl probably only said so cause she was too young to know better and that I don't need to really care so much about it. No, I wasn't the least angry, I even laughed out loud in front of the girl hearing the word. I think I saw her sister giving her a nudge.

School's starting tomorrow, and I'm having some serious runny nose now, gotta sleep soon.
