THE REVIVAL OF THE BLOG
Saturday, February 28, 2009
 
"Sometimes the most influential breakthroughs
don't require incredible advances in science and
take years to be appreciated. Equipping the
trailer of a truck with a large, standardized,
removable box required nothing more than a
stroke of imaginative brilliance. And yet the
current global economy is unimaginable without
it. "

I think this is rather meaningful.
 
 
Sometimes I think I'm really doing things which is beyond my abilities.

And hence, giving myself extra psychological burden and STRESS.

I've been giving myself too many commitments but can I MANAGE ALL OF THEM?

I'm trying to fly while I'm still learning how to walk.

Too much, too much.

I shld cut down on it.

I shld I shld.

I know I am too ambitious, too ambitious.

I shld stop it, stop it.

I lack the confidence in myself.

I'm afraid I will fall.

I'm afraid I cannot manage.

I'm insecure.
 
 

I'm the weirdest person in planet Earth.
As mentioned in my previous posts, I AM REALLY REALLY TIRED.
And I said that I WANTED A NAP!
And ytd, I took my nap at 5.30pm...in the end....
I WOKE UP AT 9AM TODAY MORNING.
I THINK I'M A FREAK.
I SLEPT FOR 16.5 HOURS!
Which is approximately my 3 days' sleep duration!
OH MY GOD.
And hence, I missed out DINNER last night, and I WOKE UP HUNGRY TODAY MORNING.

HE ROCKS.

I AM LUCKY.

I AM PROUD TO TELL EVERYONE THAT I AM RELEASED 1.15 PM every FRIDAY!

which is around the same as sec sch's friday=).

I LOVE FRIDAYS.
After fridays are the wkends, and thats when I meet up with my best of the best friends and update each other about our lives.

And yes, I'm really going to close my eyelids any moment.

Today is terrible.
I practically dragging my body from here to there, and I THINK I'M A ZOMBIE.

I nearly slept during econs lecture today.
But thank goodness econs is real interesting and its my tutor conducting the lecture and he's a REAL GOOD TEACHER!

Physics is terrible.
I think I'm really gonna perform badly for physics.
The tutor is practically slacking and he wants students to come out to the front and explain their answers and HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE ANSWERS!
We discuss the questions as a group and practically we would be asking each other about our answers and how to solve them.

While HE just walks around and supervise us.

TERRIBLE TEACHER IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

I miss Miss Chew's very detailed explanation and Mr Hisham's sense of humour while conducting serious lessons.


Phototaking today.

I think I LOOK TERRIBLE!

I forgot to bring my tie and have to borrow it from my classmate who finished her photo-taking.

Hence I 'm really in a rush and I think my tie is slanted in the photo.

Moreover, I CNT STOP LAUGHING WHILE TAKING THE PHOTO!!

The photographer and the other 2 photog guys said that my fringe is unacceptable and I gonna shift it a little more to the side.

while I was "arranging" my fringe in a deeply amusing way, the 2 photog guys began to laugh.

Then I LAUGHED IT OUT TOO!!!

The photographer laughed too!!!

and after taking the first shot, I laughed again!!!the whole room is practically filled with laughter(the 2 photog guys and the photographer and ME!

The photographer told me to take a deep breath in order to stop laughing.

I TRIED, AND I LAUGHED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SECOND SHOT IS TAKEN.

My most interesting experience of phototaking!!!

Kk. I'm tired. AnD i'M GG TO TAKE A NAP.

 
Thursday, February 26, 2009
 
Apparently, I have econs lecture notes to read up and physics tutorial to complete.

And I want to sleep early today like around 9 plus.

But, But, I LOST MY ZEST AND MOTIVATION to touch them!!!

I think its because its reaching the end of the week and I'm really really really tired.

And I want to meet up with Elaine, Xin Fang, Ting Yan, WanXuan.

And I want to watch Benjamin's Button.

Feeling the stress.
Hardcore mugger.
Lifeless.
 
 
From left: Min Yi, Vivian, Me, Jacelyn, Sunshine.

PE started today, and hence I clipped up my hair, as its really ma fan for it to "sway" in front of my eyes while I 'm jogging.

PE is fine. Ran 2 rounds intitally, then did some stretching exercises, and another 4 rounds.

Hence its not very hectic, as the 6 rounds are divided and we still had some time to pant b4 another 4 rounds.

Its really very tiring today.
I am really suffering from lack of sleep.
Mass Civics just sucks.
They would just throw the whole batch into the hall, and make us watch a video, which is BLACK AND WHITE AND UNCLEAR, and sounds really muffled.

And they want us to answer questions on this wksht abt the video, which I JUST scrambled rubbish as I really don't know whats the video abt (given the bad quality of the video), and I'm really drained out of energy after PE and lack of sleep.

Physics tutor taught me sth which is really impt in JC life.

which is SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING.

He formed us into grps and told us to discuss abt our own tutorial questions, and mark our own wkshts, and he would just come only if the 5 of us all are unsure of our answers.

And I really agree with my chem tutor who said that JC is diff. from Sec sch. Jc's teaching is very vague and the concepts are difficult to grasp, which mean that ITS ALL TOTALLY ON MY OWN HARDWORK IN JC if I wanna get promoted.

LIFE'S GETTING TOUGHER and panda eyes getting worse.

I went to NYP with Sunshine, Min Yi, Vivian, Abi, and his friend, to makan.

Though I went its open hse before, but I still want to say that polys are just.....SUPER NICE.(i'm out of vocab words you see?)

Their buildings are so NICE.

Their food is so NICE.

I ate Fish and Chips in Blk P canteen, and it cost only $2.80 and there's someone to clear my plates for me.

Chicken Zest in AJ is also super NICE, BUT IT costs$2.70 with the egg, and its sec sch portion, and I've got to clear my plates myself.

NOT FAIR.

And this post is specially reserved for today.
I had a whale of time today, and I admit that I am really enjoying myself in AJ now.
serious.
My cliques make my day.=)
Life's been so far so good.
Getting along well with my classmates.
And they are nice ppl.
Crazier than what I expected.
And hence, I unleashed the craziness within me too.

Permanent timetable started ytd.
And I do like my timetable after I took a look at WeiLing's and Yun Ying's timetables.
Theirs are horrible.
released really late.
And I'm really fortunate that my lessons are rather "squeezed" together, and that explains the earlier dismissal time.

However, I believe life will become hellish for the nx few months.
Feeling some sort of pressure now.
esp. after meeting my chem tutor.
Its really time to work hard now.
I want to pass my promo exam with flying colours.
and get promoted despite all the commitments I have.

I've been trying to make it a habit to read newspapers everyday.
for my GP paper of course.
rather terrified of it.
And I NEED MORE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE!

Yes. And I joined AJHB, which is Harmonica band. I went to the 2nd practice today.
And I think I'm horrible.
Me and gang sat at the first row, and OOPS, I got RANDOMLY selected by conductor, whom we called LAO SHI, to play solo for a piece of music.

And OF COURSE, I GOT TERRIFIED, AND MY JAW BONE NEARLY FELL TO THE GROUND, AND I GOT THE JITTERS.

esp. when I did not practise the song which LAO SHI told me to blow!
Its like my first time to play that song, and with teeth trembling, I DID IT IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, AND I KNOW I MADE A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF.

ouch. it hurts.

get it fast and get it over quick.


Then LAO SHI told another 2 ppl to play the same song, and they did a better job than me(if you have ears you can hear it).

But surprisingly, LAO SHI awarded me the prize (a tiny harmonica necklance), most probably I think that he is too lazy to get up the stairs to the other 2 ppl and I'm sitting just in front of him.

OOPS. I shldn't say that, coz HE'S A REALLY NICE PERSON, and I think he FEELS LIKE SHEN LAO SHI, MY BPCO conductor.

And below is my REAL HARMOC, and the harmoc necklance.

You can really play the harmoc on the necklance!


Yah. its tiny. and its cute.
AND I'M JUST BEING LUCKY!

And seriously, I LOVE AJHB.
WHY?
I got many of my friends into AJHB TOO.
WeiLing, YunYing, Yunying' friend( also bpian), Tressa, Yian Lu, Yee Rui, Nadia and her friend.
ANd I REALLY LOVE THE AFTER-HARMOC-GO-HOME-TOGETHER WITH WeiLing, YunYing, Yian Lu, Yee Rui.
Thats the time when I REALLY START MY "SPEECH" and talk continuously. ANd its really FUN with the girls!
And today, during the MRT trip, we saw many "CHILD TALENTED ATHLETES"(LOLX!).
And my bro called me to tell me there's a rainbow in the sky!


In fact there's two rainbows if you are able to see more clearly.
#EDITED: I HOPE YOU GUYS SAW THEM, AS ELAINE LIM JUST TOLD ME SHE SAW THE RAINBOW TODAY TOO!
ANd yes.
I gonna go and do my hw.
Tonnes of hw and lecture notes to read up b4 attending lectures.
I'm tired and I need more sleep!
But I know that I really gonna MUG HARD starting from now, as my commitments may
strained me out later, like Harmoc's concert nx year, NYAA programs etc etc.
And there's PE tml, 6 ROUNDS, CAN I MAKE IT?
And WeiLing and me want to watch Benjamin's Button, Candice, interested???
study hard and work hard.

Though this post is just a repetition from what Candice and WeiLing had recently posted...I think I SHOULD POST THESE PHOTOS AS WELL!



And hence, last Friday, WeiLing and me began our "weekly" routine, which is going back to bpco...


as we reached really early, we went to the canteen to study first, while waiting for Miss Candice Goh to reach, which is around 2 hours later.


I felt quite terrible actually( not totally) in the canteen, as if the 2 of us are invisible as compared to other ex-bpians( Endrei, WeiLi etc) who also went back to bp.



shall not fill in the details.

Then Miss Candice Goh popped OUT and we went to co room.


Miss Candice Goh created a commotion in the co room, and I think SERIOUSLY, the whole world is looking at the3 of us intently, as if we are some ODDBALLS.

da-zu ended. AND ITS PARTYTIME!



KAITING, EUNICE, RUI ZHI, CANDICE AND ME!

WeiLing, Candice, Qing Xi, and ME!



and HE is our second conductor and my ERHU teacher whom I go to his hse evry sat with Qi Yuen( in the past) to practise. (and thats 10 bucks for each session!)

Candice and Me!

p.s OMG! I think I really LOOK and FEEL senior over there!

And a photo with our beloved Miss Kong whom I look for around every practice( in the past) to photostap SCORES!!

group photo 1! ( can you see the CO hand sign?)
Formal shots!

After visiting the juniors, I went to watch PINK PANTHER 2 with Candice, and fellow SA-EX BPIANS!!!


Overall, I really had a whale of time on Friday!

Meet up with many bpians and I really have this nostalgic feeling.


I mean its like I REALLY LOVE THE BPIAN SPIRIT!

Frankly speaking, we bpians are really like ONE BIG FAMILY.


A BIG FAMILY OF OUR BATCH OF TOTAL AROUND 170 PLUS STUDENTS.


In the past in bp, whereverI go, I would see familiar faces, that I had seen for the past 4 yrs.


regardless of whether this person had talked to me before anot.


BUT I EVEN IF I WALK ON THE STREETS, I CAN RECOGNIZE YOU YOU YOU THAT YOU ARE A BPIAN!


Now when we graduated, even those who had not talked to me for the past 4 yrs in bp, I DO FEEL SOME SENSE OF ATTACHMENT AND FAMILIARITY as if I HAVE KNOWN YOU FOR SO SO SO LONG!


And bpians congregate together.

Just like the SA-ex bpians.



And I really get so nostalgic on Sunday, while doing my hw, and bp memories just flooded my mind.and tears brimmed my eyes.


Remember the CHEERLEADING COMPETITIONS WHEN WE GATHER TO PRACTISE?

Remember the NIGHT-STUDY SESSIONS?

Remember the times when we just came back from holidays and there's this really great commotion as bpians are chatting about their holidays?
Remember about the who who who?
Remember about the what what what?
Remember about the lessons when we were permanently stationed in our class, waiting for teachers to come?
Remember all the nonsense we talked about during lesson transition times?
I MISS EVERYTHING

I BELIEVE I CAN DO IT ON MY OWN.

AFTERALL, REGINA LIM IS ALL ABOUT BEING INDEPENDENT AND STRONG EVEN W/O HELP RIGHT?

I BELIEVE I CAN.
 
 
REGINA IS BORED.
REALLY BORED!!!
Orientation ended.
And of course after missing 2 days of Orientation, I forced myself that NO MATTER WHAT, I MUST GO FOR THE LAST DAY OF ORIENTATION!!
Orientation finale as I admit, w/o a campfire, is not an orientation.
But I do tried to enjoy myself by self-enthuing.
THOUGH AT THE START OF THE FINALE, I nearly turned from depresssion to suicide from the degree of boredom.
And as I missed 2 days orientation, I also missed out all the interaction with my OG mates.
And I do admit that when I went back school, I do feel WEIRD, and a little OUTCASTED.
And until now, I still cannot remember/ recognize some of the guys in my OG.
And until now, I have not spoken like even more than 5 lines to some girls in my OG.
BUT I'M TRYING, MY DEAR!
On Orientation finale,
although I do grumble a lot about my OG,
although I do complain a lot that I cnt mix in my OG,
although I do said that my OG sucks because after the orientation finale, the other OGs have OG dinners or gatherings, but my OG just dispersed when we were released.
BUT I'M TRYING, MY DEAR.
And somehow,
I feel that school(normal lectures etc) is really better than Orientation.
I'M AN ODDBALL.
I mix better in between lectures, during all the breaks.
And I think my OG mates may be quite shocked that I actually have a voice, because I just practically kept my mouth shut during the orientation and college cip.
And I REALLY REALLY CNT STAND THE PALLID LIFESTYLE IN AJ!
REGINA LIM LIM LIM GONNA ADD SOME COLOURS!!!
STARTING FROM TODAY.
I'M TRYING.
And I'm bored.
I don't know what to do tml.
I want to finish reading my lecture notes!
I AM REALLY EXCITED OVER STUDYING NOW.(its funny, but its true)
And hence, I studied with elaine lame at lot1 library on sunday, where we sat with zong li, anselm and leon.
Anw, PLS BRING UR JACKETS ALONG IF U WANNA STUDY AT LOT 1.
its freezingly cold.
And today, I went home alone as most of my friends still have to attend lectures.
I ended up in Lot 1 library again, studying.
As for tml, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU YOU YOU FOR A STUDYING SESSION WITH ME.
I'm bored.
and studying alone is boring.
I'm bored.
and BOREDOM KILLS.

I THINK I HAVE MISSED OUT A LOT.

I have not gone school for two days as I am plagued with my 39.5 degree celsius fever.

And I missed out the couple dances, the games, the photo-taking session, the harmoc induction, and the important briefings, and the interaction with my OG mates.

WHAT ELSE COULD I DO?
 
Monday, February 9, 2009
 
TODAY IS THE START OF ORIENTATION WEEK.

Supposedly, I should be rejoicing that THE REAL FUN HAS FINALLY STARTED.

However, I do know that I should not be expecting too much from AJ's student council's planning and I DO KNOW THE WHOLE WEEK WILL BE FILLED WITH DANCE, GAMES, DANCE, GAMES, DANCE, GAMES and the cycle goes on.

As expected.

tried to make more friends within my OG group.

Anw, I AM AGHAST that within my OG, there's like so many people taking diff. subject combinations, and not what I thought is a purely PCME class.

And hence, I expect people rushing to diff. venues for lectures and tutorials when LESSONS START.

AND I AM STILL SO CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT CCA I SHOULD JOIN.

Guitar is already like no hope.
AND SPORTS AND GAMES are already out of the picture since so many sports have already stop accepting.

Clubs and Societies are like damn boring.

And hence, I am only left with like ccas related to music.

And if there's really like no other ways, I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO RESOT BACK TO MY ERHU WHICH I SWORE I'LL NEVER GO BACK ANYMORE REGARDLESS HOW OUTSTANDING AJCO IS.

Yesterday and Today were like one of my happiest moments this week.



WHY?



Yesterday!

I WENT TO POTONG PASIR AFTER SCHOOL TO LOOK FOR ELAINE LIM LIM LIM LIM.



I was damn happy yesterday, jumping with undiluted joy when I saw her.



Then I went to collect my pay, and afterwards, we went to ST. ANDREW JC to look at my best friend's study environment as well as catch up with some bpians over there.



The moment I STEP INTO ST. ANDREW, I know that's surely not the place for me.

It is so....

filled with English culture.

Alright. That's all.

And next!
I FINALLY MADE A DAMN GOOD MATE IN AJ.

Her name is Tressa, from Anderson Sec.
And hence, we began to talk non-stop from the beginning to the end of the day!!!

The day was filled with fun and laughter.
And IT IS ONLY THIS DAY WHEN I KNOW MORE ABOUT THE OTHER MG MATES.

HOWEVER!
Just when we know more about each other, we are separated!

That's how amusing AJ is huh!
Putting the orientation on the last day of the week.

1Feb(初七,人日)

Went 洛阳大伯宫

龙爸爸

羊妈妈
猴二姐兔胖弟



A REAL OX!




牛大便了!BULLSHIT?


OLD ONES ARE BETTER.
How much I agree to this currently.
2nd school day and I know that I have to update sth about start of school and CNY.
SPEAKING ABOUT START OF SCHOOL, I SHOULD START FROM YESTERDAY, WHICH IS ONE OF MY WORST DAY OF MY LIFE AS IF ITS TOTALLY SCREWED UP.
2/2/09(MONDAY)

-woke up at 4.50am.
-met up with WeiLing and Yunying before mrt-ed to school.
-entered school.
-attendance starts at 7am
-I was the first in my group to reach.
-Then this guy came and sat beside me shortly after.
-WE said a POLITE HI to each other, afterwards no WORDS ARE EXCHANGED.
-led by MGLs to auditorium.
-NO more seats as I am one of the last few to get in.
-Sat beside this guy.
-My LHS no ppl.
-All the other girls in my group sat at another area and began to start interacting.
-LEFT ME ALONE
-Then TALKS start.
-PRINCIPAL TALK,
-NTU TALK
-NUS TALK
-SMU TALK
-CHEM TALK
-BIO TALK
-PHYSICS TALK
-MATHS TALK
-ECONS TALK
-CHINESE TALK
-GEOG TALK,
-HISTORY TALK,
-ENG LIT TALK
Then END.
WITH ME PATHETICALLY ALONE, meeting NO NEW FRIENDS and NOT SPEAKING A SINGLE WORD AT ALL.

Between all these talks there's only a 15mins toilet break.

NO RECESS BREAK?
THIS IS MY SCREWED UP FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
After school, bought school uniform.
Home-ed.
3/2/09
-Today is better.
-Determined to change my fate and revert back to my HIGH SELF(which CHUA CHUA
MOTIVATED ME!), I approached this girl in my group to ignite a conversation.
-AND FORTURNATELY, IT ALL WENT SMOOTHLY.
-LECTURES STARTED.
-FIRST OF ALL, PHYSICS LECTURE.
- TALKED ABOUT CREATIVITY.
-Then Lunch BREAK.
- tHEN GEOG LECTURE,accompanied WeiLing in auditorium
-then econs lecture.
-AND I AM SURPRISINGLY INTERESTED IN ECONS, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!
-School ends.
-bought another set of uniform again.
-MRT-ED with WeiLing
-met Jian Kai
-then meet up with Zheng Wei,
-then lunch at CWP
-AND hence the 3 of us, with nth much to do since our schoolS are released early than other schools( for your information, we are released at 12 plus!) roamed around here and there and finally
-HOME SWEET HOME
SUMMARIZING TODAY, TODAY IS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY.

MY MOOD IS BETTER.
JUST THAT I REALLY GONNA DO STH TO MY RUNNING TAP NOSE.


And I am currently thinking what I should do tml since I only need to attend Chem lecture which ends at 8.45 am and then after which I do not need to attend Lit, Bio, Hist lectures and I have two breaks and that mean I HAVE 5 HOURS FREE BEFORE MY CCA CARNIVAL.
