Wanted to rant about someone on my locked livejournal but decided not to in the end. Cause she isn't worth my time and effort to complain about. It's not like she's that important in my life. And I think I reacted a bit too much when I heard about it.

Shall dedicate most of this post to my batchies! Since I hardly do I think, so sorry!

Quoted from Pingghee's blog:

Then I went for training. BATCHIEZZ ARE SO AWESOME. WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT YOU GUYZZZ.
I mean, training was tough because of the sudden appearance of one Porridge, but I love training with batchies, cause we are almost all on the same wavelength. (and height, haha) And I love jiti, it keeps me alive in wushu. I really really really like our new jiti now. I really really really do.

Batch 11 is like the colour on my blank white canvas of today. I don't remember any shit about what I learned in Chem today, but I remember all the stupid inside and outside jokes, the new moves, chatting with Blood (haha, or Snow) about teachers and him allowing us to just sit down and slack after we train, or sharing his story with us about that girly move. Or deciding our roles in Hilary's future wedding (flower girl right here). Or singing loudly in off key voices songs from Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, all the walk from rooftop hall till bus-stop.

So very true, and that's what I felt exactly today. Today's lesson was just darn boring, especially with Callie's absence that made me feel so empty the whole day long. When anything interesting actually happened in class today, I had that urge to turn to my right and start talking to her, then it dawned on me that split second that she isn't there at all. Walking to Math class alone felt really empty, having no one on the right side of me and not being able to hit the side of her thigh (okay sounds wrong here) when something interesting happens. It seemed like it was one of the few days I actually talk so little during class, and was especially attentive during all lessons, including physics and chemistry when I usually talk like crazy with Callie.

Going for trainings felt so, sad, I don't know why. And it's just the presence of my batchies that added colour to this long monotonous day. Special shoutout to Esther, Pingghee, Boonhui, Seryeen and Qianyi. It's just this special feeling when we do jibengong in a line as a batch, going crazily happily when Boonhui finally came so we can work on our jiti, and those really entertaining chats when resting after jiti. Even when I was cursing and swearing like crazy (puck! fish! frog! freak! fork! fak!) after knowing something, they just made me forget it the next few minutes and even placed a huge smile on my face. :D

It's like this carefree feeling I get when I'm with my batchies during trainings. Like we can go on and on forever doing jiti and talking about random stuffs and laughing heartily together, without needing to worry about exams, projects, assignments and stuffs. But once training ends, and I'm back home, reality sets in. It's exactly the same feeling as walking in shopping centres aimlessly with close friends, window shopping and looking and really cool stuffs, it's like a moment where I don't feel any stress at all, and I really wish that feeling could go on forever. But oh, how harsh and cruel reality is.

The past two days were awesome too, had that exact same carefree feeling.

The day before Teacher's Day concert with TDCOT was amusing, staying back to help in decorations, and we stayed so late in school and at 7pm we were all zi highing like crazy. Cause we know how screwed we're going to be the next day. And at 7pm, it totally felt like it was 7am, like the concert will be starting in about 1+hours only. And then switching off the hall lights and screaming "TDCOT ROCKS WHOOTS!" and feeling a little freaked out cause it was dark and school was so empty. Then went Lot 1 with Minghui and Woonyee to find Ulanda's emcee shirt and have dinner at the same time. Went home super late but it was definitely an awesome night.

Teacher's Day concert itself (31st August), going crazy when the concert is about to begin, and Ms Sandra Teng was like asking me to calm down, plus her shirt said "Keep Calm and Carry On" HAHA. It was overall okay, just that the major 30 seconds audio lag during the teacher's performance cause they gave us a wrong cd format, that incident really impacted me cause it was just so scary. Having the whole of Nanyang and the teacher's waiting on stage for the music, and desperately trying to troubleshoot in the shortest time possible, plus Wanqing shouting my name so many times in the walkie talkie making me darn stressed! It was scary, but very unforgettable.

Turned out many many people really enjoyed the concert, and I was really relieved, and glad at the same time. Had that funny warm fuzzy feeling in me. :D As quoted from Kaixuan's blog:

ANW, NANYANG TEACHERS' DAY CONCERT IS FABULOUS!!!! The only concert that never fails to make me laugh the most, scream the most and have the most fun! I rmb when i was in sec 1, the teachers' day concert amazed me cuz it was one of the best celebration concert i hv ever watched. That years' CNY concert as well. And it started my ny sch life with it as the best impression i hv of ny. :)

Despite having to be on alert throughout the whole concert and not being able to sit down comfortably and watch it, it was worth it. The experience up in the control room was once in a lifetime man, and being able to literally 'control' the whole concert was quite cool, to think that I was actually the one pressing play for the audio and stuffs, really cool lah! Well done to deco comm and montage comm too! The montage was especially touching, loved it when they played Footprints in the Sand as the first background song!

Then was off to RGPS with Gaoge. Teachers couldn't remember my name until clues were given. D: Ah wells kinda expected cause I wasn't really that prominent in class. Felt familiar yet super unknown to RGPS, how contradictory. It's like I remember the school so well, and yet it's so stranger-like to me cause I feel so much more attached to Nanyang now, like I don't exactly miss RGPS that much. Quite sad, but yea. D:

Then to went to buy a YOG pin for remembrance! All those precious memories made during YOG, have to pin it on my pencil case to remind me of happy times if I feel sad. Then walking around takashimaya, and taking all those mooncake samples haha! Headed to vivocity after that, stayed at skypark till the skies were dark. It has this super relaxing feel and it's a great place to have heart to heart talks.

Teacher's day schoo holiday, original intent was to mug full day at Jurong Regional Library, but the mugging session shrank to three hours and the rest of the day was spent walking aimlessly around Jurong Point. Watched Grown Ups and gosh, it's DARN FREAKING AMUSINGLY HILARIOUS. It's been a long time I've laughed so hard during a movie. The creators of it are simply, damn imaginative or something. Like how can you think of a 48months old baby asking for his mother's breastmilk in the middle of nowhere? And asking a guy who's in full body cast (with his hands up in the air and it seems like he's forming the letter Y) where's M, C and A? Super witty man.

5 more weeks to start of EOYs, 7 more weeks to 6 weeks BSC trip. Hilary you can do this!
