Wow. guess what.
I haven't been posting/blogging for about ..4 months?

Here, I've started a new blog at livejournal. Many things have happened or is happening this year. Start of sec 3, my birthday, blocks, np matters, classmates, chosen for Youth Olympics Games announcer (maybe), Class CIP, becoming CORPORALS, NPAP, Open House, Operation Opulence, ATC campfire and many more. I think this year is really tough. Still not getting used to it. In a new class, there are many new people I've gotten to know, totally diifferent personalities from people in 202'08. At the start of this year, I already had to plan and complete class CIP with my other activity coordinator Vivian. She's really good at these stuff :)

Schoolwork wise, the homework seems to be never ending. The teachers were saying how we were not saying the truth when we said homework comes all at the same time. True, it doesn't come all at once sometimes, but then they overlap so much. It's either homework or quizzes to prepare for. When you're not doing homework, you will always have something else.

I also lagged in homework sometimes due to NPAP trainings which ended on 18th April - day of actual parade. There was squadmates and ma'ams who went - Alicia, Clarissa, Yi Jia, Wenxian, Jing Hong ma'am and Hui Cong ma'am. It was really a great experience :D Never been in such a large scale parade before. It's also cool to learn flag drills before we begin to learn it in school. And of course, I shall not forget NPAP mass flag 2, all the people and Rahimi sir. He's a great CI! Learnt a lot from him and everyone else. To be honest, when NPAP ended, I felt rather empty and lost, a little similar to the time when CT08 ended. But I didn't feel that it was like CT because NPAP'09 ended on a rather happy note and there wasn't much regrets despite being a reserve. We ended it with a dinner with squadmates too. It all came to an end nicely yup.

Back to about school, I have a feeling that the teachers are beginning to be biased. I don't know, it's just that I might be thinking too much. Like sometimes when my papers clearly have the right answers but yet some can simply give me a big cross. Not that it's a big deal because I can always get the marks back of course. And it's not just me, just for some groups of people. Favouritism?

Nevermind, hmm, this year seems to be not good in the sense that I'm meeting more and more unkind and impolite people. Not that I love to remember bad things, I usually tend to forget about things people do to me but it's just super unbelievable. But I'm sure I wouldn't hold it against them. For example, I would nicely ask to move across the bus to get down asap and some people can just turn around and hit their elbow in my face without saying sorry, then while still standing at the same spot, blocking my way. Of course I had to push through and some people just stood there like a tree and broke my hanger with their big body because they wouldn't move. And, I can be just standing on the train balancing with both my legs. But some people who want to get off the train who don't have a mouth to say excuse me, would just push me with their hands. Not elbows or shoulders but their palms. In the same situation, some people can also grab my bag and pull for balance because the train jerked without saying sorry. wow. The thing is, things happen but why do people just behave like that? Shouldn't they apologise?

YOG - I remember going for the camp, was sitting with Sylvia and her friend Le Ting. Li Ting went too, she was like the first to volunteer to do the auditions :D It was terrifying actually. Initially, I only offered to do emcee-ing stuff when my LA teacher asked who was interested. I didn't think it would be related to YOG. Had to speak one minute without script, but we had preparation time though. And there was a camera rolling to record for the judging panel. 3 jobs: announcer, host and commentator. They were all different and I was interested in them all haha but I got selected as announcer. Just probably announcing names and doing intros for events, in the background? I'm not too sure as of yet. There will be intense trainings until next year, the YOG itself. They mentioned that some people might be removed, so I hope everything will go well. It will a great honour to do this, never thought I would get to do it. Haha I didn't even know how come I had the courage to volunteer for emcee-ing. There was something inside of me telling me to raise my hand and it's such a surprise to get something I've been wanting - to help in the YOG 2010. I've been interested about helping ever since Singapore got selected and Mr Teo Ser Luck mentioned about volunteers needed over the news. Note: it was only a thought, now I've the chance, I feel so odd all over.

About NP stuff. Well, NPAP ended already and now we have to plan for open house and await for OO. Learn rifle drills for npdp too! Rifle drills are really cool but but..the new rifles are round and fat. So they keep slipping and sliding in circles in my hands. I remember I couldn't grab the magazine for rusok because I missed the handle. I think I really need to improve because I think the previous time was only my second time doing rifle drills in ACT. And being souvenirs comm again for open house this year is nice :D surprisingly, i'm the exco of souvenirs. haha i jing1 yan4 more feng1 fu4 for souvenirs. Hope to try other stuff too. But I doubt I can make it for open house because of the chem ecar competition, thus my display name on msn lah. OO is held out of june hols this year, I'm not sure why, maybe because our holidays are packed fully. But it's a little tough for schools to finish school then rush to our school to experience OO. Afterall, it takes some time to complete. Luckily it's a Friday though, is it. Should be.

Talked about chem ecar just now. Oh I would have never thought we would get in for the chem ecar interal selection. REALLY. I mean we only rebuilt the structure one day before the judging and we weren't super sure of our test results. I mean we tested after rebuilding for about 10-20 times, but I was thinking so few times, definitely won't be enough. Results came out and there are 2 teams from 306 selected into the 5 teams!! :D HAHA. Jiajia's team also got in. Now we have to have trial runs every week until the competition itself. It's a good and bad thing. Good being that we have a chance of doing well for our SIA, bad being that we need to test it every week. But people say when life gives you lemons make lemonade out of them so I guess that's the xin1 tai4 I'll be treating the competition.

Ooh, I think our squad seemed to have grown over the past few months. From not knowing what UOPA is, to wanting to get gold and be GOH, to understanding each component for UOPA. Wow. And not only about UOPA, I think we are more mature I guess, because of all the plannings we have to do for Open House and campfire. It's really good. But I feel like I haven't changed much in the terms of becoming mature.. I might have been a serious person all along but now when I look at myself, I haven't grown better compared to squadmates. I want to become a better person too.

I've so many things that I want. Like doing well in my sciences and maths. And being decisive as before. Getting into NYCT'10, organise events, becoming GOH for NPAP next year and wear the GOH uniform one day, getting roles I want in NP and class, improving my drills. Actually NP motivates me a lot to do many things, it's a big part of my life now I see it. I also wanna learn new things like swimming properly, music and more. I loved the motivation from CT last time, it really helped me to push myself to do things I want. But I might need to prioritise everything first. Currently, I need to just get past blocks, finish all my homework and better my drills for npdp. *sighs* Oh, we need to polish rifles too! Then...well, I should do a good job for my IH assignment too.
