its been super long since i last came online. been busy with lots after the last time i updated. suan le, i think my thailand trip details can forget it. basically it was lots of eating, shopping and massage! its total relaxation, apart from my bio hw that i brought along. yup. didn want to leave there for trouble-laden singapore. lots to worry about. when we r backat the spore airport, someone took one of our 4 check in luggage by mistake. 2am. eating at burger king while worrying about our luggage. fortunately they returned it in the morning.

30th was the final briefing for amazing race facilitators, also the alst day for tying up most things. spent my time photocopying clues and brainstorming about what more to do for my sec2 race. also, we had a final consolidation meeting in the afternoon, after which the com separated to do our own preparations.

did my facil booklet til 7pm with gavin.hmms, den we went miss ling's chalet at loyang aloha. miss hani, the office staff sponsored our cab there. chalet was eat. play. slee. one quarter of the time spent on worying about the upcoming physics test. and half the time spent worrying and packing amazing race clues. OMG. chalet=relax. but we did work there. yawns.

had a bad hand at mahjong. lost money. ha if i wan to be superstitious, i read notes before playing, does that consider to be "shu"? i felt bad. cus i caused junda to lose money too.sigh

miss ling's pretty nice, offered me a bed when she saw me sleeping on the chairs outside. slept for maybe about 4 hours before leaving the chalet for serangoon garden to meet the police camp group alpha for some outing.

yeah right. some kinda outing. onyl 5 ppl turned up: glenda, acasius, yati, kelvin and jason. went bowlingn two games. ate at serangoon garden market after walking around for awhile. yawns. den was deciding wad to do. before kelvin decided to watch wallace and gromit, screening 30min later at bishan. rushed there. ran like half the way to the busstop which was SO far away. when we reached bishan, seats sold out. met yong chiang who bang seh-ed us there.

in the end.after another hour of brainstorming. decided to go to yiochukang grassroots club to play arcade and pool. yawns. 5plus went bishan aunt's house for dinner. wah seh we were the earliest. i slept there for two hours before eating. was so tired cus of chalet, meetings and outings. dinner was yummy. ate alot.

countdown.happy new year.

new year was spent reading physics notes. day after new year went for training. it was beep test cum push-ups test. horrble. beep wasnt very bad but pushups. must have gained alot of weight in the hols as well as the lack of practice. heh. at home. i was slacking but i dunno how. cus i realised i din really hafta get to kan cheong about the tests.

3rd jan was school reopen. jam. reach school later that usual. tsk. anyway ferst day met new teachers. CT isnt like jerry chai so slack. she's quite bad la. miss lim. maths even worse. mr tan. duno how to survive maths lessons. chem leh its some mdm ching. she quite interesting la. but liyu sae she nt very gd teacher oso. HRM anyway. went HC office.saw PPC. wahlao. they dun let me n yingjie off for amazing race. ok la i was abit pisssed. what if i really cant go for the race?

at night, studied for physics and bio. briefly only. den i got really pissed and worked up about a particular sms. i was damn angry. damn upset. and then i din study anymore. thanks jiamin, minyi for replying to my sms. thanks primero for chatting online with me. XD heehee. liyu's sms got me in the middle of the night, and i din really sleep well after that.

4th jan. went for tests. not difficult. went thru the lessons, and then went to meet the principals for another try for asking for leave. fortunately they gave. phew. HC admin sucks. rushed back to dunman high to prepare for amazing race. ponning, canoe, as well as the other cca, which last night, i've decided to quit for good. but, i din wanna quit la. din really mean what i said after that. sigh.

prepare stuff for the race. well. gavin was kan cheong the whole day, cus the next way is sec3 race, he is in charge. i was half slacking. we went to watch dhsco perform in the hall for orientation. ok la. haha joohiang and her banhu is not bad.

ate dinner at dhs hostel. left dhs late. due to preparation of stuff.

THE BIG DAY. 5th january. thursday. dhs xplore sec3 race. spent the day preparing for my race the next day. how tiring. but its much better than going to school. had sec2 race briefing. for gods sake i couldn brief at all. ok la. i cant remember much about the day, since it was the busiest day and the most brain juice used day for me. i only remember scoring was damn horrible messy. and i swore not to make a mess out of my race. briefed my facilitators quite seriously in the evening. dinner was at hostel and had a mad rush preparing clues at the hostel. i slept pretty early because most stuff were settled already.

THE BIGGER DAY!!! 6th january. DHS XPLORE sec2 race.
the day din really start off well. forgot to cut straws and rubber bands. luckily managed to rush it out. gave out clues and stuff to facils. all went well. i was very pissed during the briefing of sec2s and starter activity la. whoever involved should know ok. blah blah. finally the MAD, messy, dispatching. miss ling wasnt really clear about everything. and cus the list wasnt prepared properly. a fault of mine, cus i noticed the flaw, but din really wan to "order" ms chong to do. after dispatching. went out with miss ling and dihua to patrol around as well as for food. many problems, especially with shopping centers cus groups arnt allowed to go in. mad calling. i got to thank dihua and miss ling alot! anyway. yeah another car was out patrolling with mrs har, ms chong and gavin. i was pissed in the middle of the day, cus tha car ppl actually wanted to act on their own to settle some problems that occured. come on, should at least inform me first.

everything abt scoring was nicely done up, but along the way i noticed some errors. minor ones though. groups ended, with major discrepancies in arrival time. debriefing. giving out of certs, reimbursements and souvenirs. had dinner with the orientation ppl,in the canteen. den we had a mass clearing up. ok la. seriously no one noticed that canteen benches and tables were cleared. took it for granted huh? thanks siying for helping me move them back to the canteen. also lee yan and her squad mate:)

whole com, miss ling and miss fang went to marine parade fish and co for supper. ate seafood platter, before miss ling dropped me and joel at serangoon mrt to meeet my parents.

finally. amazing race has come to an end. abit reluctant to let go, but all good things have to come to an end. gotta spend my last (lousy) year in hc properly. wrap up all that i've learnt.. and catch up with the pace in trainings, lessons and everything. thank you all teachers, gavin for giving me this chance to do something for the school. and for all the support during the whole preparation period. i love dunman high.

7th january. training proper. took k1. and i capped twice. there was heavy rain too. paddling in the rain is quite fun. ha. hmm. pushups. forgot what happened the whole day.

8th january. tuition in the morning. yingxia was there too. forget about the day too.

9th jan. school proper. lessons suck la. i was damn late for school. the parents who send kids to school am up the whole place from macritchie to school. bloodi hell. afternoon gym training. well, deproved alot la. i need to train harder. after i caught up with studies.

10th jan. YAY. holiday that neutralised my monday blues. read some chem notes. evening went gym. my running sucks. also, bowled two games. sian. din wanna bowl de, but bro stupidly kept the 10 games prepaid card for one month. and expiry date happens to be today. dinner was at chomp chomp. wonderful food! after reached home at 10.30pm, rushed work and slept. oh got a message that CO performing for CCA fair. then. despite what happened last tuesday, i got abit half-hearted about performing. i refused to bring my instrument, for fear that it would leave me with no choice but to perform. mr yeo n ms chong messaged me today! dhs explore rocks :)

11th jan, TODAY. finally. missed out on so many days that i got sian of blogging. my day in start well. pull ups in the morning. finally i reached early enough to do them. anyway. i was worrying about performing later.

cus i already made up my mind to termintate my membership, yet i couldn let go. i was slightly disppointed in myself. but i knew it might happen. lessons was only till 11am. fun! LOL. ya anyway i was pondering and pondering. and went to consult minyi. thank her alot alot alot for being with me, and helping me lian. man, minyi rocks. shrugs. ok la. i actually dun mind some ppl in the orchestra de la. its just that. i am very gek that i actually din do what i had intended to do. sigh. im my own laughing stock. sigh i really need the seniors around. jiamin, steph, jieying and liyu are like my advicers for last year, when i had some trouble finding where my passion lies too. where are you my good seniors? i miss you alot. in HC, apart from minyi and some of my teammates, i don't think there are others to talk to properly, and who will give me good advice.

performed for CO. advertise for hcanoe. i did my part to both. im jus kinda sorry for dumping my erhu and scores to minyi for her to help me keep. i told wailumn, dhs junior and hc junior that i intended to quit. but i couldn let go. and she said i could always join shicheng. makes sense. but aiyah. dorea said shirlene, herself and jiani joining too. the thot of it..and minyi.. made me change my mind. sigh, i think im quite useless in a sense that i cant make a decision. i cant control myself. i dunno. i decided i HAVE to blog today. cus im super troubled already.

realised. twice. minyi affected my decision. nah. i will always face this crisis till i leave hc la. what a horrible thot. i can never bring myself to do anything proper. maybe i jus dun wana face the consequences. i dun wana see them on stage, and start to regret not being there. jus like how i faced a crisis in secondary school, missing chinese dance. well. i need seniors around me. or maybe kayee? she mus b having fun at SA.

rah tomorrow got test. and dad needs his com. i gotta go.

jus here to rant. cya. till weekends probably. theres no test next week!
