Excitement!

Leaving for Germany-Switzerland in 2 Days! :)
Holidays starting in 2 Days!

My holidays are packed.. 1st Week, I'll be overseas. 2nd Week, Build4Hope. 3rd Week, Family Chalet. And the science research attachment results are not out yet, if I get it, it'll take up 2 weeks in June. Which means I'll have to study for my midyears whenever I can.. Better start planning my June timetable..

Going to pack my luggage now! Whoo!

Amazing!
I never actually thought I would post on this blog again. I had actually decided that I have no time to maintain a blog. But well, I've decided that I should at least post once in a blue moon.

I'll have to change a few things in my profile. Like from SJI to ex-SJI, of course, 'once a Josephian, always a Josephian', and add in VJC:) Yeah. Then add and change some links. Yeah cliff, sorry for taking so long, I haven't updated in a long time. And of course I remember you. And glen, I'll relink you...

I'll also have to create a new tagboard. The other one expired for a good reason. Haha. I've half a mind not to create any tagboard.

Well, I've been busy, and am busy, and will be busy. I know, I am the one who made myself busy, but... Whats life without the challenge right?

I'm now in VJ community involvement council, and my aim is to help more people help others in the community who are less fortunate. Many projects coming along. Just yesterday I had to do a live ad at assembly, and kind of made a fool out of myself. I guess thats something you have to do to attract people's attention.:)

Then there's the Singapore River Raft Race next weekend, and I've to build the raft with my group like, in a week. Wow. Thats a little rush. Must push.

Looking forward to the German-Swiss trip at the start of the June holidays, and the science research institute attachment. That also translates into little time to complete my revision for midyears. So yup. Must also push from now.

So many things to do, so little time.

Thank God, my Family, Friends, Teachers & SJI

For my O'Level results.

I want to thank:

God, for guiding me and being with me during exam preparation, exam, and basically all the time.

My family, for their support and encouragement, for motivating me, for giving me the conducive enviroment for studying.

My friends, for helping me with those problems I cannot understand or solve, for the encouragement. Especially my classmates, for relieving our stress from studying by continuously adding humour everyday:)

My teachers, for their unrelentless efforts in helping me understand and grasp the subjects they teach, for all the time spent, for not giving up on us.

SJI, for a wonderful and fulfilling 4 years of secondary education, for helping me excel academically, and preparing me not just for exams, but, perhaps more importantly, for life.

It Certainly feels Good!

There's no more o'levels to contend with, and there's time to do everything I want. I've the feeling this is going to be the best holiday I've ever had so far. Well, I suppose thats because I've worked really hard for O'levels, and there's a feeling of satisfaction upon completion.

Amazingly, time seemed to pass so slowly during the O'levels, but now, on hindsight, it was actually so fast. How true it is. The speed of time is based on one's perspective.

I won't worry about my results. I've tried my best, and there's really no point thinking about what I should have done, or not done. I'll just pray for God's guidance and make best use of holidays.

Holidays are packed, but with things I really want to do. HK, Kuching, Kayaking, Class Grad Night etc. WOO HOO! Then there's reading those books I tried my best not to start, quite successfully, during the O'levels. Then there's christmas...

Cheers to freedom of time.

Graduation Day 2006 Rocked. Seriously. It was both touching and fun, especially the post-ceremony outing to Carl's Junior. Lamed around as usual. I had better scaled down my lameness or one day someone's finally going to kill me because of it. No, I think I'll just totally stop it. Or at least try. Yes, thats exactly what I'll do. This post will mark the start of me making the conscious effort to stop laming.

I just can't wait for the 433 graduation. 24th November. Remember the date.

Went running today at the Clarke Quay. Don't ask me why that location was chosen, but my father thought the view there would be good. And it was. Picturesque. Guess it gave us some incentive to continue running. Now I feel quite healthy. Don't know if I'm trying to deceive myself. But it really just feels good.

I received my prelim results about a week ago. I'm quite happy with it, but I've to work even harder for my O' Levels. This might probably be the last time I post before my Os. To everyone taking Os, good luck and study hard! Perseverence.

The haze is really irritating. PSI hit 150 yesterday! Lucky for us it subsided today. Hope it stays away from Singapore.

Yes, before I forget, Happy Birthday Fish! (Although it was yesterday) [and although you probably won't read this blog]

Here ends the post. Need to sleep.

Prelims are over. I just wish that the results I receive will be what I was aiming for. Well, the wait won't be that long. It's just about 10 days away. Before that I'll have the graduation day to look forward to. It'll mark the end of our 4 years in SJI. It's sad to end this part of my life and move on. But I guess it'll also be a celebration of everything we have enjoyed over the past 4 years; the wonderful experience of being a josephian.

Actually, I have many things to look forward to. For one, the kuching trip at the end of the year. Then there's the 433 class graduation party after the O levels. I want to thank the organisers for taking the time to plan it. And there is Legion chalet. And the hong kong trip with my family. And being free from textbooks to pursue other out-of-syllabus courses. (At least for a while).

But for now I'd just have to study real hard for my O'levels.

Before I sleep, I just want to show my support for the decision to deny several activists with a history of violence entry into Singapore. Well, many critics have argued that it is these people's right to come into Singapore and protest against the IMF/World Bank. Yes, I agree with them, of course protests and free speech should be encouraged, but isn't it also our right as Singaporeans to want to protect our infrastructure, properties and ourselves? It is our safety at stake here. We are not denying entry to just anyone, not all the activists, but just those few, a fraction of them, with a record, concrete evidence of them causing damage and a threat to law and order in other countries. I guess there will always be people on both sides of the fence, but think about it, are we being unreasonable in claiming our right to protecting ourselves?

Looking forward to RME retreat tomorrow!
And my sleep.

September Holidays
I mean Studying Break.

Well, its Teachers' Day today, so yes, to all my teachers, Happy Teacher's Day!

Since the last time I've blogged, which was quite a long time ago, I've realised a lot of stuff about myself. I won't spell them out here. But there were there friends going through some problems, and while I was helping them out, I kind of realised a lot about myself at the same time. Well, two of you, thanks for giving me the chance to give you advice, I hope I managed to help. I know anyway, that one of you might read my blog and the other definitely doesn't read blogs. Thanks anyways. It'll all work out in the end!

I'll start blogging about everything I experienced since my last blog, trust me, I want to, but I'll be taking too much time from my studies. Haha yes. Studies. It sounds boring, but has to be done.

I'll take this chance to advertise for the Youth Rally on Monday night at Novena. Sms me if you want more details. For all those still pondering, go for the rally! It is once a year!

Well, back to studying! And boredom!
