Hey! What's the big ideaaa?

Finally online after a vair vair busy week!
Especially orientation preparation and the real thing on thurs and friday. Was damn nervous at first, and I felt like i sucked really bad as an OGL on the first day. But the second day was awesome!
OG P3, I think you guys are daaamn cute and very on for freshies! But too bad we didnt get to take an OG pic as planned cos we ended at different times and i got scammed so no lollipops for you guys. Oh well, hang on to the contact lists and keep in touch kay? And always love Pegasus and ride on!
Been missing and still will be missing lotsa lessons so I hope I have the almost non-existant self-discipline to catch up on my own. Maybe staying at Nurul's house will pressure me to do so.
Kay I just want all the best for the next whole week of orientation 2010! :D

Spamming chocolates from my birthday. Yeap, haven't finished them. All the sweets and chocs and lollipops. Ahh, I scared I become diabetic uh.
Lotsa stuff have happened and I haven't got down to real blogging and the result is that I've forgotten everything already. Nothing much for the past week though, start of the routinist school term. Been going home late everyday chiong-ing my holiday hw and no, I haven't cleared them. That's how much there is. Kay, I'm very naggy.
6Jan, Marina Barragewith Jessica, Vanessa, ChunWei, Junqiang, Wanru, Yuanlin and Ona!
The sun was crazily sadistic and gave us all really bad sunburns. HAHA but better than rain! And there's no ODACian scared of the sun right?! :D
Flew kites for the first time in my life, not much success but it's alright cos it was awesome fun. Picnic-ed for a quite a while, camwhored, then yuanlin and ona came with icecreams so the rest of us decided to go get them too.
We went for daaaamn long. HAHHAA cos we were looking for the shop, but started exploring the gallery instead and camwhored hundreds of pics. Wanru's camera damn spammed, go see Fb haha. Fiiinally was done, and got our icecreams. They got high singing
paddlepop. LOL. Camwhored even more when we got back, flew kites again, then vanessa and I left. And I'm lazy to upload pics lah. :P
7-9Jan, OGL camp.Was damn unwilling to go at first cos we had to reach there before 7am, and cos I had not much enthusiasm left as I mentioned before.
But it all turned out better than expected, although it rained on the first day and we were just playing orientation games which honestly suck quite a bit now that I'm no longer a freshman. Made a couple of friends from Pegasus and good news, by the end of the first day I regained lotsa new enthusiasm. HAHA ride on Pegasus!
Missed half of the second day so there wasn't much, then the last day was just showing our walk-in and learning the new college dance which is kinda cute. Lollipop by Mika's the song. I like. (: Learnt the college pioneer song too, and practised the college anthem for dno what. All went to macs to eat and make our Peggy identities then went out with toot.
Oh, thanks Joanna for the two nights, HAHA.
p/s I shall not blog about my own normal days out, haha might be too boring for you the otherpeople.
11Jan, Start of school.Was a yucky first day cos I hadn't completed a single holiday assignment. Haha, serious. And the teachers were just grounding rules, expectations and that we're having a sucky first day cos we're already in J2, our A level year and stuff. Wasn't that draggy though, cos intros helped kill lesson time. Got new lockers, and mine's right at the bottomright of the column. Sucks, got to squat down everytime I open it.
Can't remember anything else, on 12th Jan too.
13Jan, Outdoor PE!Was awesomeeeee. Mainly cos there're no lessons but besides that, it was kinda fun. I had to face my biggest fear on the first station already. Biking. And everyone expected me to be good at cycling cos I'm in ODAC and we did night cycling and all that,
but nooo, I suck. Eh but I won in the end! :D So proud.
Second station was quite.. screwed up. A2 damn cunning. No actually I believe it was their CT, not them, who came up with such a devilish plan that we started screaming CHEAT at them. And we had to vs them for the third station too. Oh well, no grudges anyway.
Last station was kite-making! Could offer help cos of my experience at marina barrage hahaa. Failed anyway though. But who cares it was fun. Class lunch at KFC, then went home with toot.
15Jan, Art museum with ODAC.Looked at really cool art pieces but didn't have much time to look at everything in detail. Made sculptures! My group one cutest can. Cos my idea. HAHAHA I'm big-skinned. Better than someone who made balls on his sculpture. -.- Somemore say cos 'ODAC is not for the faint-hearted'. HAHAHA damn toot.
Went to eat at BK, finally got my turkay bacon burger again. But their bacon downsize a
lot. ):
Had company all the way home. (:

Today was epic.
Reflections of 2009
Monday, January 04, 2010 @ 11:12 AM
This post will be really honest I swear.
Finally right? Like after a week of procrastinating I'm finally doing this. And btw, if you realised this blog has no pics as of late, it's cos my mac can't upload pics from my phone. So we got narthing to see. Wasted, really, cos what's a yearly post without pictures that really do speak a thousand words? (some, at least).
Ah well, maybe I can manage with the power of the written word alone. I'll try. (:
So 2009 has really really been the most eventful. It seems cliche, doesn't it? Saying this year after year. But it really does feel like it. Each year just gets better than the previous while growing up.
I'll prove it. I'll try to recall all the things that made it better than 2008. The firsts, and the bigs.
1. Joining ODAC has really changed my life the most this year. Why? It's my first time joining a sports-related CCA, and it's the first time I love a CCA sooooo darn much. Being in Drama in sec school was probably one of my biggest mistakes. I'm just not a drama girl at heart.
The next points till point 17 will be ODAC-related.
2. First time scuba-diving, & getting a real license for it.
3. First time I tried with so much grit and determination to learn how to cycle and manage to do it! Right on the day of ODAC night cycling too.
4. But as a result it's the first time I got so many scars from one single activity. My first scars actually. Who cares anyway? Cos I completed 42km on bike!
5. Oh and cycling at Pulau Ubin too. First time falling down a slope and scraping my hand so badly. Evidence on facebook, photos.
6. First time gettting Gold for NAPFA! Okay ignore my primary school one please.
7. First time I'm sooo motivated to prove to others I'm fit, COS I'M IN ODAC. And people really believed I'm fit. (: Okay I'm guess I more or less am lah, but hey! I never did sports before coming to JC! Serious!
8. First time completing 14km in 105mins straight! (WILL Run '09)
9. First time running a marathon (Nike Human Race)
and completing it on time. To me, it's ODAC-related for certain reasons. :D
10. First time having so many awesome bros around me, from ODAC. And thanks guys, for taking care of me, especially during cycling trips. Really, I mean it.
11. Of course the girls toooo! Thanks for making me not feel left out like I
(CONFESSION!) did in drama last time. I love all of you!
12. I just have to add this in as a separate point.
I LOVE ODAC. It's like a big family and despite conflicts here and there we still get together as the ODAC family and do tons of awesome stuff together!
13. First time kayaking 16km.
14. First time going for actual swimming lessons. And getting called an 'inter-idiot' by my coach cos I already had my intermediate swimming cert but totally forgot how to swim.
15. First time involved in booths like the ODAC Wii one on Thanksgiving.
16. First time going to Bukit Timah so many times I can almost call it my third home. (But also cos of LaoCai training.) I'm probably gonna miss the weekly trainings there. ):
17. ODAC Great Hike! Bloddy forgot omg. First time walking for an entire day and evening, from nature reserves to Bukit Timah to reservoirs. I think we conquered
at least 50km. Amazing shitz for my unfit body in March.
18. Now for the
Lao Cai trip, preparations and all! My first overseas school trip!
19. First time being an assistant group leader (as far as I can remember) and being so enthusiastic about everything.
20. First time learning Vietnamese. AND GETTING AN
A FOR THE TEST.
21. First time conquering a mountain, the highest one in the whole of Indo-China at that. (3 143m)
22. First time sleeping at -3degC.
23. First time having to pee behind a bamboo tree.
24. First time twisting my right then left ankles three times in a row.
25. First time having such a high fever at 38.8.
26. First time taking a plane and overnight train with friends.
27. First time having a homestay in rural Vietnam.
28. First time bathing with cold water 2 days in a row.
29. First time visiting Friendship Village and interacting with the victims of Agent Orange.
30. First time performing a Vietnamese song. Okay I was just holding the paper water and grass most of the time but still..
31. First time visiting a Vietnamese school and painting their walls with really cheap 'paint'.
32. First time teaching these kids how to brush their teeth.
33. First time trying to interact with Viet kids despite the language barrier. They are really cute ttm.
34. First time ploughing the land and sowing seeds.
35. First time eating Viet food in Vietnam. (my auntie's viet too but she cooked different Viet food when we visit her).
36. First time being asked if I'm Viet. -.-
37. First time I was applauded for perseverance. Cos of my ankle thing.
38. First time receiving so much care and concern.
39. Now, more generic ones from school. My first time in a JC! SRJC! HAHHA
DUHHHH.
40. First time being in a really cool arts class. 1A04'09!
41. First time having guys in the clique. Somewhat clique lah, LOL.
42. First time being in a mixed school. Sounds so noob, but yeah, SAC where got guys.
43. Thus, having someone(s) in the school like me. Some are ewww.
44. First time having a crush and get crushed back but end up in a total flop. Thanks to me, I admit. But I learnt a major lesson from it.
45. First time getting close to all my classmates. Except one or two lah. Heck. They are unwilling parties. Not my fault.
46. First time staying up till 2am for schoolwork. PW, to be exact.
47. First time I really think my GP is kinda good actually. :D In SAC it was just like mediocre? Maybe cos the standard in SR isn't that good. I hate to admit.
48. First time failing after trying to study. Seriously, I barely tried for O's, slept through my A.Maths, dropped my pure bio, crash studied the night before/ morning itself, and I got into a JC. And I camped at the library half a week before promos and I still failed. Oh well, I'm going up to J2 after all anyway.
49. First time fufilling my freshman dream of being an OGL. But honestly have retained very little of the enthusiasm.
50. Millionth time I've been in the same class as Desiree Lee Hui Ern! This, is a
big, not a first. I love you girl! The letters you gave me yesterday were damn sweet. (: And I wanna say you're a big factor to making my 2009 awesome. Bus rides to and from school and sticking together in school and everything. Without you I'd feel really alone and lost, especially in the start of the year.
51. First time organising class outings! Failure much but it's alright.
52. First time feeling insecure cos of another girl.
53. First time I hated a subject so much. Econs, congrats.
54. First time staying so darn far from school! I miss my 5-min walks to SAC. ):
55. This is random. But it's the first time I feel macho. HAHHAHAHA.
56. First time going into A&E after running, slipping on wet floor, falling backwards and hitting the back of my head. But I was fine. HAHA.
57. First time being a PE rep! And I passed my BEC. (:
I guess that's it for now! LUNCH! bye.
58. First time I loved someone so much.Labels: live the list
Honey honey, how he thrills me
Sunday, January 03, 2010 @ 1:57 PM
Been MIA cos I've been going out, what else. HAHA means now you got stuff to read! But I feel lazy now. Oh well.
31st December, New Year's eve.Celebrated with the LaoCai trip people at Mind Cafe and although only like 9 people came in the end, it was awesome! Everything from the games to the tomyum chicken pasta to the present(s). (:
Sorry the brownie went to waste, it was diabetic. HAHA thought that counts. Diabetic thought. Sweet ttm. Then the toot shoebox thing. Asking if it made me happy is a redundant question. :D
Walked around a bit after that, then went somewhere after walking around, slacked, then went to Toa Payoh to watch Sherlock Holmes. Snuck in lotsa snacks and were probably irritating the people with our munching. Don't care, birthday girl does anything. TEEHEE.
Cabbed home, and started our trek to the floating platform again (and on our way we heard fireworks but saw
naarthing. -.-), then left cos there were too many to-be-drunk bangladeshis getting a bit high.
Stoned at the playground below TF's house and I fell asleep as expected lol, then went upstairs to sleep, before waking up at 6 to go see the sunrise. But apparently the floating platform offers nothing much of a view. Oh well, the experience was awesome anyway. Went home to nap, before going out to meet Dewaine, Vanessa, Alina and Sarah! Finally after how many eons we meet again. LOL.
Ate at Eighteen Chefs at Eastpoint, gossiped truckloads man. We weren't finished with gossiping still so we went to the top floor to gossip more. HAHA horrible right.
Dinner with family at some chinese restaurant which made me a bit pissed cos I didn't really like it there and I definitely chose a different place earlier on.
WARNING: RANT.Every single eat-out meal with my family sucks, cos they all love food which I hate. Don't know where the hell my taste buds came from, cos it was definitely not inherited. They always go to places I hate. Especially seafood places, then complain I'm picky and I eat too little and ask in absolute disbelief why anyone can hate seafood. Stupid question of the year. It's as dumb as asking why I'm asian. Certain foods, you like it or not. Simple. There's no why. If I suggest someplace I like instead, I get called selfish, cos it's 3 vs 1. And I'm not allowed to be selfish even on my birthday. A once-in-365and1/4days thing. Okay, done. (:
2nd JanuarySent the Sarawak trip people off..
4 more days. ): Must survive!Labels: ♥, ranternobanter
