One step at a time
One hope then another
Who knows where this road may go
Haven't blogged in ages! Cos was busy with CDAYL :D Well all I can say is that it's a really enriching experience, cos it really tested my patience and my perserverance. Like no matter how tired we all felt we had to put on that smile just for our campers. Been through alot with Family 1 facs, and definitely shared bonds with more people. Like what Mr Chua said, we only bond when we suffer together, I guess that's true.
Oh oh and I found my laughing/crying partner, which is none other than Xuyao! One that you'll never fail to get influenced by/you'll never fail to influence when you laugh or cry. (Especially for me) Well we kept laughing at Shazni and the cat, also how King, Broderick and the others slept and snored when it was super anticlimax.. And we practically laughed like mad every night before we sleep, together with Jiaxin also. Yay the three who have the same bright blue towels!
And yeah throughout the whole camp I had to help some China campers translate from english to chinese and i think my chinese sucks real bad now. Xianghui kept laughing at me when i translated the instructions of the game for them. But its NOT funny! Yeah and as usual I cried alot during Eweb again, mainly cos of these 2 campers in my LG, of course I cried for the rest too but those two really touched me ttm! But my LG damn weird la, high only when the camp has ended. And I realised that shy people can be VERY very lame as well.
Alright gonna be busy this whole week again, I hope I can go for training tmrw! Haven't swum in 2 weeks. I want to swim! Cos I know I'll be missing this Saturday's and next Wednesday's one for sure cos of the hosting thing at VJ and the lifesaving instructor course. Great, more things to add to my already piling burden. Everyday is like running a marathon RAH! But nvm I shall not complain since its partly my fault when I procrastinate. But luckily for me I'm starting to pay attention in lectures instead of fall asleep everytime and I think I'm getting the gist of stuff already.
I want my voice back ):
Let's spend tonight on top of the world,
And we can do anything, we can be anything
I don't know why but I suddenly felt an urge to blog.
Facilitators for CDAYL will be camping in tomorrow and I really can't wait for the camp to start! But I'm currently struggling with homework now and I'll have to wait till after this camp to finally settle down. Oh well, back to the main point, Family 1 is uber bonded now, and we got very very high yesterday while preparing the banner and the LG boards, we started dancing or Family dance and doing cheers (: I love F1 ttm!
As we move ahead we know we have to quake
As we move ahead we know we have to quake
With faith, love, hope and dignity
We fight and fight with unity
We are JJ AWESOME FAMILY! :D
On another note, it's been long since I actually felt like this. Blog hopped today and read about many things I could have been doing if only (people who know me well would be able to guess this). Yeah if only. Its not that I don't like my life now, I'm really enjoying it alot. It's just that while I was reading the posts of other people, I knew that I could have 'been there' and 'done that' as well. It had always been my dream, why wasn't I able to achieve it? It could have easily been MY life, I was so close. If I were to say I didn't have regrets or I'm not at all envious, I would be lying.
I've been missing out on alot these days. Everyone else is meeting up with friends and I'm not. Like what Maple said today, we've been seeing each other almost everyday in the past. Its an entirely different thing now. And my upcoming schedule sucks. I'm really looking forward to Fiesta this Saturday. Hopefully I'll get to see many other people and do lots of catching up + camwhoring!
And and I finally persuaded my parents to allow me to go for the Batam trip! Now have to think of how to raise the money by myself cos they're not gonna sponsor anything rahhh.
Hmm I actually craved for sweet stuff today, which is weird cos normally I'll only crave for chilli. Okay fine I'm being random again. Talking about chilli, I'm reminded of orange bowl! I'm finally getting to eat it on Saturday :D
I'll meet you tonight on the top of the world
I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
Rah rah rah rah rah I wanna rant but there's nobody suitable to rant to! As in like, there are many listeners but half the time they won't understand what I tell them. That's the bad thing about being in a school where you practically know no one and no one close is there with you. Besides, of course, Janice Leong but she's busy with her own stuff and I think she needs to rant more than I need to.
Okay so next week I'm gonna go for CDAYL, which means missing 4 days of school which is VERY significant because Anges has been slacking the whole time and doesn't know a shit about subshells and whatnot. Better hurry do some revision :/ Anyway, I don't think I wanna aim for full exemption already, maybe partial exemption for three subjects? Sounds good? (:
Yeah and another thing, TP tourism accepted me! Thing is, I'm 100% sure I'm gonna stay in JJ but then I hesitate to reject the place in TP. Well I think I know very clearly why, but okay I plan to reject it right before the deadline (:
This would sound super random but I think mass dance is damn fun! I keep thinking of Oh my darling for some reason, but my favourite is still Superstar! Followed by 5 colours. Sigh I wonder if I really did make a right choice in deciding to go for the camp. Never mind, positive attitude! Yeah yeah yeah YEAH! (Oh shucks I think I'm really brainwashed)
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Finally decided to update about NTU HANDS. Was damn tired after that then immediately slept for 12 hours. A few crazy people could still go for training. Siao one la.
Mass swim was alright la. Didn't complete what Emily wanted us to but ohwell haha. Typical of us I think she would have expected it. Ariel was swimming also but so poor thing she was swimming alone then occassionally Laopo, Xiaoqing and I would swim with her. Sundown was damn cool.. 9 hours of continuous swimming for them and it was really quite xinku they were all dying and wanting to give up. I think Jim Ho's bestfriend was their only motivation! Hahaha. Then Jialong and I were like doing maths and then he only did like.. 3 questions? Out of which, Yours truly taught him 1 (:
In the end Team B won and Team D got runner-up. But never mind who won la, not everyone can survive 9 hours of swimming right (;
Yeah that's all I guess, I need to study but then I want to go sleep! Being sick is no fun at all ):
We'll remember the times we shared together,
(Disclaimer: If I type rubbish or my sentence structure is wrong, sorry cos I'm super tired!)
Finally back home after 4D3N spent in school for West Zone LINE Camp :D and I'm glad to say it rocked! I really feel the bond between us facilitators even though we may not know each other personally. I mean, there are around 160 of us its quite impossible to know every single person right?
Yep at first Jingxian, Jam, Zak, Shaoyan, Wenjun, Jolyn, Shazni and I were assigned to LG6 but LG6, 12, 18 and 24 were all from Jurong Primary and they were only joining us on the second day, so the facs of these 4 LGs had to split up and join other LGs first, and so Jolyn and I joined LG3 with Jamie!
Oh and during mass dance I got to know these two very hyper girls Alicia and Jiaxin from JVS! Just brought them to the toilet once and they were already doing the HoogaShaga cheer thing to me, so sweet right aww (; Hey if you guys are reading this be very very honoured I special mentioned the two of you k! :D
Day 2 was when Jurong Primary campers finally came! Rah rah session was at the PE porch and they all participated very actively, which made us change our opinion of taking primary school kids. And LG6 was fated to be dominated by girls luh, among 8 facs there was only 1 guy, and among 15 campers there were only 3 guys! And during Kinetic Warfare the girls cheered damn loudly and even created their own cheer without needing us to ask them to do it, what initiative right, and even the gamers were impressed (: And then I brought all 12 of them to go bathe and it was CHAOS! There was one cubicle with 4 girls and they kept screaming and laughing when all their stuff dropped, but they were still super adorable!
Then came LINE night! Or night LINE (if that cute camper insists). Everyone was super high and the JVS people even volunteered to go upstage to perform! Mass danced with Chng Jialong lol! He should be honoured :P
Day 3 of camp was Eweb! Emo time :D LG6 was quite high at first and it took quite long to get them into the mood cos people kept doing funny stuff then everyone was laughing.. Yeah then they became quite solemn when Eweb was over and there was Emo x2 time in the hall with the song singing and reflection time.. Cried like nobody's business again, yeah what's new for Anges right? Made Xu Yao and Melissa cry too but hey it was really quite sad k.. Like esp for those LGs which didn't have as much time spent together but were as enthusiastic or maybe even more, it was time for them to leave the schl so we were all quite sad as well. But I guess we did break our camp with a big bang!
Family lunch after that and we seriously bonded alot more.. I hope all of us can get selected for CDAYL and that all who are selected would go for the camp, even if it means sacrificing one whole week of school.. Even if we don't, I'll never forget Line camp F1 team with our REDBULL, our F1 cheer, our various people claps.. and also the chicken gang!
Alright I'm damn tired so I'm hitting the bed now. Good night :D
_______ __ ________ _____ ____ ____ ___! :D
Marshmallows for breakfast;
Busyyyyy like a bumblebee!
Someone help Anges plan her schedule for the next few weeks please!
Everything is clashing like nobody's business.
And I can feel the sore throat coming again someone save meeeeeeeee
School's pretty alright (: Actually it's sort of the second official day of school cos lectures only started this week. Plus we are not informed of our classes even though I think we're sorted out already. Okay so I've sort of made the decision to stay in JJ, hopefully I don't regret my choice! Now I'll have to decide on a CCA, which is quite a headache cos I'm interested in 3 but I'm no superman so no, not all three definitely. See what I mean by becoming very indecisive?
Oh yes, there was this interview today for the JJ leaders thing for this upcoming international camp. If Anges gets in then it's HELLO to training camp and BYE to the March holidays and ___ ________ ________! ): My OG wanted to send in this proposal to learn pool for IDP but we got rejected flat because everything must be done in school and we do not have a pool table.. Oh well, that means kayaking for me then, everything else is unappealing and I already know how to skate, and plus I don't want to go near the squash courts!
And Janice you rock man, I didn't even tell anyone and you could sense it! No wonder I love you so much :D
I really feel so d___ k___ w___ t_ s__! W__ d___ t___ k___ h________?
Going for training tmrw, hope we'll swim ___ x ___ (haha not supposed to reveal). Ironically that's the only thing I enjoy doing now :D
3 hours in a row in LT5 tmrw, I'll be superrr fidgety, I guess. Good night all (:
The reason for the teardrops on my guitar
Haven't been sleeping at/past this time in ages and I honestly miss it! Don't know what's making me stay up, ohwell.
Bai Yun Gang yesterday, it was not bad (: Wanna watch Huang Cheng too but omg no money ): Nevermind I wanna watch so I shall tell Sista to help me get a ticket too.
Met Ex(travagant) earlier to get gigantic sunflowers for YeoXZ and Serene. And we were almost late for the performance cos I left the house late :X Sorry Ex! Chased all the buses that we had to board together. And someone who cannot even walk properly now randomly told me she missed running for buses, go figure who. Esti was being very hilarious when she told us about her sunflower. I'm really not used to her new hairstyle!
Meeting the 7 of them tmrw, hopefully everyone can make it!
And I honestly think she doesn't even need to act.
Need to catch up with SO many people I don't know who to start with. Someone I want to talk to is always busy! ):
Haven't trained for a week I'm getting fat! And I ate so much during OG lunch after the camp at the Sakae buffet even the guys were shocked at my appetite cos I think I ate more than them. Oh well never mind I'm going for training on Wednesday! Have to hand in the form for the trip to Batam to Emily, and I haven't even mentioned it to my mom. I think she most probably wouldn't allow me to go but I shall persuade her!
Die la I ____ ________ _____ _____ ___! Haha I love blogging like that :D
You tell me your blue skies fade to grey
Haven't blogged in a few days cos JJ was having this 3 day 2 night camp and I decided to go for it the night before at 11pm which was super impromtu and then I had problems packing which resulted in me sleeping at 2.30 am lol.
1. The camp honestly wavered my determination to leave the school.
2. I really don't like how people end smses without punctuations, so if you want to annoy me on purpose I just gave you an idea lol.
3. I love all my friends! Esp SN friends who never left me (:
4. Now I'm hoping that TP tourism wouldn't have any vacancy for me so I wouldn't have to decide on which path to tread on.
5. I love OG15!
6. I bought JJ's uniform and I'm contemplating to alter the blouse myself.
7. I need more passport size photos!
8. Sha Da Jie I need to talk to you soon! (I think I alws call at the wrong times)

14. Everyone's being emo, friends be happy!
15. Had many pleasant surprises these few days.
