half a year into college
Sunday, July 1, 2012 @ 1:52 AM

1st of July, half of 2012 gone so quickly, and I should at least update my sad dead blog before school starts becoming hectic (as usual). 

Well most recent thing of my head ever since post-orientation till now is of course block tests. It was one interesting week I daresay, having a paper each from Monday to Wednesday at like 1pm, so I was practically lepaking and chilling with my lunch during these 3 days LOL. And then came the mad Friday with Math and Biology papers together, 5 hours in all whoots. But on hindsight those 5 hours didn't seem that bad after all la. Blocks was cool in general, really have no expectation for my results, just hoping my percentile wouldn't look as pathetic as before haha.

And okay let's go all the way from the start, to just the end of orientation. Interesting period of time really, where all the choices you made and whether you got them start to fall in place, and you gradually get a better picture of how your next 1 plus years in college will be like. In JC, really everything seems to be application forms and interviews. It gets quite sickening at some point of time, but oh wells what can we do about it. Applied for a couple of stuffs, didn't get some, but surprisingly got others at the same time. One of the major 'application' process was definitely running for council. I don't regret running at all, and even though I've failed, ironically I'm somehow glad to a certain extent that I've failed? It's a weird feeling la, looking at all the council activities (especially pictures on Facebook), somehow you can't help to feel a tinge of envy how bonded (or seemingly idk for now) everyone is, this tinge of envy went to a peak when watching investiture especially haha. However at the same time, not being in council has given me lots of other opportunities in many other commitments, namely my CCAs. The running process was very interesting I daresay, and despite my hesitancy and fearfulness towards it, I pulled through it! (: HigH Like Dat was one cool campaign group, they have really made me grow throughout this journey. And being on stage in the Audi in front of the whole Apollo was quite.. unforgettable hahaha. Plus the very nerve-wrecking Q&A session. in which I somehow became the first to answer all questions haha it was very cool indeed. Yep will definitely not forget this journey, cause this alone has made me grown so much as a person. (:

Okay so no council, and MAD hiphop and Bridge came into my life. (: Immensely grateful with these two CCAs really. SWAG Dance Night 2012 was one mad crazy awesome fulfilling mindblowing experience with hiphop-ers. These awesome awesome bunch of batchmate with so vastly different personalities yet everyone has the same love - dance. And especially how the hiphop division was heavily criticised on during the first few rehearsals, but we ended up receiving compliments during the last few. Seriously, that moment is unexplainable. And those 3 performances in the auditorium. Especially the last one, with a freaking full house auditorium and everyone's emotions at their peak. It's something you really wish you could relive it over and over again.

Loveeee this bunch of peeps! ♥

And then it's Bridge. The new commitment and expectation given to me was really unexpected, and I feel superrr bad for being so MIA during the hols and during dance night period. Made a promise to myself that I'll work hard on it after blocks, and yes I'm just doing that. This CCA has made me self-reflect a lot, questioning and doubting myself quite a fair bit, and being overly self-conscious. Regardless of what, I WILL do my very best during these couple of months, and be strong.

Okay so that's it for CCA. Now on to semester 1 academic life. I've no idea how it passed by so quickly, though strangely enough every week seem to be super long and tiring during the period itself, with me crashing in quite a few lectures aish. I NEVER CRASH IN SECONDARY SCHOOL BEFORE LEH. ): Oh well. And then my grades, seriously joke man, I look at my results on isp and can't help to laugh at how absurd it is, even printscreened it LOL. It's like my best subject all the while becomes my worst and one of my worst subjects becoming the best. Epic joke. Hopefully block results won't be as joke LOL.

June holidays was rather okay-ish spent? It was just tonsa going to lab for centad centad centad, getting annoyed with unsatisfactory results and stoning at the experimental set-up. It's a rather tough experiment topic to choose, but the experience so far is interesting. Heh. And other than labwork it was going out to lepak, going back to school for extra lessons (mehh) and oh mugging for blocks the last 1.5 weeks. Quite amazed by myself for cramming the whole semester 1 syllabus in that 1+ weeks only, despite me being not exactly super duper focused and attentive during lectures and tutorials.

Now I suddenly don't really know what else to write, hehh but well Semester 1 of JC1 has been very eventful, and I do expect my future months in college to be even more so LOL. Made great great new friends, having less time to contact old close ones but glad there's still that same feeling of bonded-ness when you meet them in school, and I'm glad I have one old close friend in my class especially. (: Forged even closer friendships with others, and I really hope they will last long. (: Haobah shall end here, don't think my next post will come anytime soon HAHA.
