whoa. ok let's see,

30th of december, fishing with cai n loo at east coast. caught quite a few fish (such an inaccurate expression), about 10. we fished for about....5 hours, during which i discovered that i really lack the virtue of patience. as looling kindly/irritably pointed out. so. cai took home the fish, but later looling found out that the water around bedok jetty was contaminated soon afterwards....hmm so. fish gone to waste. but that's ok. it's the quality time spent together that's important, jein? (...) after that we took a cab to changi airport (because we couldn't find the bus back) and there we really spent QUALITY time. quality time in a quality place (with air conditioning and a great view of planes taking off............how romantic. i took photos of lots of planes taking off....and i took a photo of the schedule for 1600-1700h=). -_-) hmm yeah i thought it was a very nice day.

31st december
went to em's house, about 9 of us....had the countdown there...happy new year..................a bit late.

2nd - 8th jan 2003
school starting/started (2nd), and i slept at....hmm...2? so sehr smart. orientation was....wet muddy games involving physical contact (like the apple one, we had that as well...and the tennis ball passing.) (some of which i found extremely uncomfortable/totally gross-outing. frankly i'm quite surprised no others feel/felt the way i do/did-_-) etc....hmm my group's quite a fun bunch...hmm....very fun for, certain divisions within the group. but oh well, it's ok i'll find my place somewhere (maybe i have). went out for dinner with them on the first and last days..hmm. we went to watch a movie on the last day, gangs of new york. i shan't comment much, i might get sued.
ok it was. nonsense. but what was more interesting, was that, a guy was speaking very loudly during the movie, sounded like he was on the phone. it was very irritating...everyone kept going "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" but he went on....hmm. and then the other rj orientation group pronounced very loudly that they were gonna move into the front-est row and claim a refund later. finally after an hour or so, a big burly guy behind us shouted "shut the **** up man!!" several times. (i felt like shouting at him instead) so, the guy who was being cursed at got up and stared back (it was dark but i could feel it) "you got a problem is it!?!?!" and then he came down the steps (thankfully down the further aisle) and they stood face to face, chest to chest in the dark, while the guns n knives on the screen rattled and flew everywhere...with puddles of blood on the streets of n.y. hmm. (the story was quite good but just....bloody=S)
"get out!!! GET OUT!! and take your stupid friends with you!!!" (he was almost screaming)
hmm. i think what happened in the cinema was more interesting.
hmm. tues. 1315. somewhere in the void deck of a hdb flat in ghim moh eating lunch/finishing lunch (just in time to catch the watch at 1.15). hmm. how exciting.-_-
hmm. on the last day we attempted to break the....chinese whispers record-_- we got to 310 before, the councillors decided we should start cheering...sigh. few hours of sitting on the floor reading the same magazine...while guys next to me sprawled around on the floor......-_-

thurs 9th jan
started lectures today...hmm...my class seems quite alright, not exciting perhaps but definitely decent=) i can't wait to get to know all of them. hmm. unfortunately not all share my sentiments...(no not referring to my class...) hmm. i don't know what i can say to help...i don't think i can do anything.....hmm.
i'm not gonna lose control. i'm not gonna lose control. i will not lose control.
ok maths lecturer no. 1 - ms "here-in-this-case" (110 times according to serene's classmates)/ya know (man that was mean. but can't help it. had to say it)
chem lecturer hmm. quite young, male, funny (slightly). um. compulsive blinking though. at least his voice's ok, so i just try not to look at him.
our form teacher/civics teacher looks quite...fierce though=S i miss ms neo. hmm. don't know who mr chia is yet. =) can give presents to him to pass to ms neo.
hmm. done. yay. i should be more consistent in updating. sigh. -_-

fri 10th jan
loo's birthday (and lizhu)
one lecture today. physics. did absolutely nothing. hmm. but next week the full force of school will hit us. i'll be ending school at 1.10 on monday...i've to wait till 5 for 3rd lang...
Orientation Night - was fun...like sitting in the dark...singing and dancing (couldn't really dance). our og leaders cried=S...and they gave us some nice souvenirs. went to mac's and we ate and talked, but the guys sat themselves at different tables, so it was totally segregated. (but i don't mind, of course) and one of our ogls did some card tricks (which were quite impressive) though he did alot of preparation work behind his back most of the time. hmm. everyone was so impressed, the girls started calling him "shi fu". oh yeah we got some presents (or at least, they got some presents) for huifen and raymond.
oh yeah we did run into mr chia today. he walked past and i said to bena and shu, "is that mr chia?". he paused a bit and looked back. after that we shouted his name and he responded, and we said, "say hi to ms neo for us"

we (ili jennie kevin jy crys ad kai val) went to a little german restaurant in suntec and had lunch there, once again we, laughed alot...and ad did some tricks which, ahem, to my dismay (and distress), i took a considerable duration of time to master. val got a nice jigsaw puzzle which she pieced together and framed. hmmmmm. then we dropped by the arcade and played some banging and pushing games.
tomorrow's monday again.

mon 13th jan
went for 3rd lang. listened to nena's 99 luftballons over n over n over because we simply couldn't get the words to do the worksheet. herr wittmeyer looked so...disappointed in us. he's totally different from frau heng...i think we've alot to live up to. hmm. kinda like a good day to be pissed.

tues 14th jan
grace's birthday.
we gave her the dog xizhen and i bought after 3rd lang yesterday. =)

on a not-so-happy note..i lost my phone today. there go my pinky n brain, simpsons and powerpuff ringtones.

wed 15th jan
i've typed so many "finally caught up"s (and deleted them as well)
jennie called me last night and gave me the number of the guy who found my phone. =) i contacted him during a break and met him after school and got my phone back. i'm so touched=S yeah think i'm really lucky. beginning of sec 2 i lost my wallet on the bus and a few months later it turned up in the office, returned by a "mr K".
anyway jennie came down to ghim moh and had lunch with us,
had 3rd lang...it was much better. but got home quite late..and haven't been sleeping enough.
we had an exercise for gp today, a worksheet which asked us to scout for things in the library. one included "search for a 4 or 5-letter word whose meaning has evolved over the centuries.". which word? har.

thurs 16th jan
leeting's birthday, if i remember correctly
another normal day, except i was late for school and had to sneak up to the hall when the principal was halfway through his speech.
day ended at 2.30 but spotted ad n cai going into the lecture theatre while i was coming out, so decided to stay with them for their econs lecture. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. i've....not much to say about that, except thank goodness i don't take it for the exam.
went back to rgs with val em and yunlei..hmm. we met ms neo and i ran into several other teachers (ms hoo ms ning mrs yap), including my sec 1, 2 chinese teachers (one of whom actually scolded me during her class=S) and (ex)cca teacher, to whom, surprisingly, i had alot to say. harhar she suggested that i should go back to teach after As, and that she'll recommend me if i wanna teach chinese.......(harharhar. i refrained from blurting out that my aspirations don't really have much to do with teaching=) and i can feel my chinese going, going.........) but well. hmm. i told her that my during my first chinese creative writing meeting we met these 2 ex-rgs girls (who came back to school). they said that it was as if they had their black name tags only yesterday. now i feel exactly the same. the yellow tags are sec 4s again...it's been a whole cycle, except we're out. it was weird walking into the school (em was so thrilled)...so familiar, yet we don't belong.
mrs cheriyan broke her arm=S..and all the rest of the teachers are still there except mrs kwan. they all seem to have less work now....i asked mrs yap what classes she's teaching, she said only sec 1 n 3, ms neo's only teaching 311 312 313 and 412....hmmm. and my cca teacher's only teaching sec err. alot less compared to previously. and she said 1/4 teachers is new. (oh and there's a mr. sa...something who looks.....a bit like....ahem. i checked his photo.)

fri 17th jan
i got a ride from em/her bro to tchs bus stop where i took 67. guess who i saw on the bus AGAIN. my ex-classmate. the same one from the other day................she. was. telling me about her classmates AS WELL. and she was talking in chinese, just as gentle, feminine and meek as before=S...she said i changed. she said i.....seem more. quiet. and mature. ahem. i was very amused.
