Yet another week has passed, but this time i feel kind of relieved. This week was very hectic and tiring and all for me, what with OGL, cca bazaar and many others. However, no doubt that it was fun, it was still very straineous on the body and mind.Thank GOD that he let there be 5 days of study and 2 days rest, if it was more, i would definitely faint. So, i have to spend this weekend trying to catch up on my schoolwork as well as revision, dun wanna lag behind everyone at the start of the new year.

Well, this week was spent on orientation, cca bazaar, table tennis stuff and being sick. Monday and tuesday was the last 2 days of orientation which was totally great. Nova1 was excellent!! 3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for NOVA!! Their spirit was really great on the last day for the cheering competition as well as for disco night. THANKS NOVA for the wonderful time i had!! Then there was CCA bazaar. As table tennis had already accepted quite a number of students, we did not accept anymore so yea, it was sort of like a longer training session for us. Oh and i so got to start improving now, my confidence level has always caused my doubles team to lose! yea, hope i start to get the feel back!

Then comes the sick part. Did not go to school on thursday due to lack of rest and fatigue. yep, but i managed to lower the pile of homework on my study desk at that time. On friday, we had table tennis bonding session and gathering at bishan!! My juniors are great. Some being more reserved while some are more open. Well, but still, all of them are awesome.Hope we have a good year ahead with them!!

Well, this week was relatively great with many things still remaining the same. But i still dunno what happened...........

Well ok, time to study, seeya!!

Orientation is finally over!! Okay not finally, cause it was a very enjoyable, enriching and electric experience and i so did not want it to end! I totally enjoyed it from the first minute of day one to the last in day 4, even if i lost my voice!! My group was fantastic even if they may be a little quiet. At least i managed to talk to everyone of them at least once over the past four days. And at the 3rd and 4th days they even approached me for help in the dances and questions about the school. COOOOLLL!! Speaking of the mass dance, IT WAS AWESOME!!!! I think the whole j1 cohord did extremely well in learning the dance and most of them had fun. I know i did!! MASS DANCE IS THE BEST!!! But i still think we danced it too little! But nevermind, theres always next time.
Also, i made many new friends during the whole orientation, OGL's, councillors as well as the new J1's. THANKS GUYS FOR MAKING THIS OGL EXPERiENCE SUCH A FANTASTIC ONE!!!

Well, gotta get back to reality now, time to hit the books!! Hope to see everyone soon!! =)

Block tests are almost over. Well although its is one of the important tests of j2 life, i cant help but not feel its importance at all. I do feel stressed when i cant finish revising though, but its mostly because of the a levels approaching at the end of the year i guess. Gp was above average, hope i didn't write of of point. Geog was a total disaster for me. Even though i spent the most time revising on it so far, even studying the latest topics, i still had no idea how to do the majority of the questions. Oh Man. What's more, i found out that i did not read one of the lecture notes after doing the paper, which left me totally clueless for a whole question. Hopefully the h2 geog students who are taking the test now will remember all that they have learnt and do better than me.Then there was the gruelling econs yesterday. Although, all the teachers kept stressing that it was going to be an extremely tough paper even with it composing mainly mcqs, i felt that it was better than i thought. However there were some mcqs that gave me a headache. But like always, everytime i say a paper is easy, the results prove the opposite :(. Lastly there's math, this was definitely one of the worst papers i have ever done if not the worst. All the concepts that i memorised till late at night seemed to have disappeared. Yeah so without those formulaes, i couldnt do much. Well i've only got myself to blame for these late studying.

i dunno what happened. was it something i said or did? this has left me pondering for days. Hope u can tell me? :(

Holidays are already here and soon about to reach the halfway point. But i have yet to really start studying yet. Only did a few chapters of math revision package and 1 chapter of biology. Oh man, how am i going to pass my block tests and complete my mountainous pile of homework in time? SOMEONE MAKE ME STUDY PLEASE!! Whats more, there's a lot of events coming up which will consume much of my already precious time. But even though this takes up alot of time, i would still be willing to attend all of them and meet up with my friends or fulfill my duties and roles that i have taken up. What should i do?

Finally back from the 4days 2 nights LTC camp. Made alot of new friends from my group as well as from others, everyone from different ccas and background, especially Bryan, Yun Sheng, Asraf and Jian Fan. Totally wicked and fun time with all of them these past few days, which brought many laughters. We did practically everything together, bathing, Ps-ing, complaining, getting extra food(watermelon). Let me give you a brief summary of what we did for the whole camp:

First Day:

Went to school earlier to learn the Griffindor dance for Yule ball. At 9, proceeded to the grandstand for attendance taking and the start of the 4 days of madness. Firstly, there was briefing by headmaster on some admin matters before the cheering started. Then it was packing time. We had to pack as much stuff as possible into a big china bag and the remaining we had to carry around while playing platform 9 and 3/4s. Thankfully i had really good groupmates who allowed me to put my GIGANTIC bag inside or i would not have been able to carry the whole load round singapore. THANK YOU AWESOME GROUPMATES!! SORRY FOR HAVING TO LET U GUYS HAVE EXTRA WEIGHT IN UR BAGS!!

So basically it was like amazing race and we had to travel around Singapore to find specific locations with clues and completing certain activities there. First up was botanic gardens. We used the school computer to check out the clue and bus route before heading off. However upon arrival at the location. We found out that we had dropped off at the wrong stop and had to walk all the way across the whole garden!! That was the first setback. However, we did not bother complaining much and just tried to get to the place in the fastest time possible. After completion of our tsk, we headed off to the next location which was NUS. However little did we know that NUS had two campus' so when we reached the one close to the botanic gardens we couldnt find the place and had to ask the ppl there. So when we found out it was at Kent ridge, we started to get demoralised. However that did not stop us from getting there. Setback 2. However, after lunch the day went pretty smoothly with exception of waiting for bus 11 which took a super long time to come. After that went to the campsite with the charter bus. It looked really awesome when we touchdowned. The bunks were super cute. There we had another briefing and then dinner before learning the waltz. IT WAS FUN!! We had to get the feel of it at first before we learnt the more complicated moves such as crossing over, hesitation step and THE JUMP. HAHA. The jump was especially funny. After that was bathing and sleep time!

Second Day:

High elements day!! Did rock climbing, vertical challenge, abseiling, flying fox and more! I think i was the first person to complete the rock climbing partly cos i was the first person to try it. Yep and with the help of my teammates cheering and encouragements and also REST!! It felt really awesome to be at the top but the negative thing was hand cramps afterwards and till now. I cant even clasp my fingers properly now. Oh man. Continued after lunch before dinner and facilitation time. However, during kayak workshop, we did a damn large amount of pushups. I couldnt even do it properly and was not even able to feel my arms halfway through the pushups but still managed to complete it. WEAK. After the workshop, we did some complaining time with the guys before bathing and sleeping.

Third Day:

Water elements day! Wooo started off with raft making. Discussed on what our raft should look like first before starting work. In the end, we decided on a dragon boat style kayak. However there was yet another setback, only 2 ppl knew how to tie the ropes, me and asraf. However, being awesome teammates, our groupmates learnt real fast and everyone was tying the raft together in no time. AWESOME!! In the end, altho the knots were messy and raft looked flimsy and unstable, it proved to be the best super raft ever!! This shows that looks can be decieving. It managed to carry all 12 groupmates in it and we stayed in the water for the longest time! We even won the race with the groups rafts! TOTALLY COOL!

This was followed by lunch before our kayaking expedition started. Firstly, since it was my first time kayaking, my muscles ached real fast and had to take lots of breaks and making my partner do most of the work(also partly because of the high elements and pushups). But as i got used to it, it proved to be very enjoyable. But the same prefect just had to make things difficult to some people by taking away some off their paddles. But in the end we all managed to pull through with constant encouragements by everyone. HOORAY!!

Then there was the YULE BALL!! Our performance was very fun!! Although we din win anything, but at least we all gave in our very best into the performances and cheers!! This was followed by waltz dancing and many mass dance songs! GREATEST NIGHT OF CAMP EVER!

Last day:

Basically we took photos and spring cleaning of the entire area. Before heading back to school. Did gym when we got back while waiting for Asraf's exco meeting to end before us weasley guys plus far red head to macs for lunch.

Yep so that was the end of the camp. I learnt an extreme amount of things at camp including being more confident in my abilities as well as making new friends! Cant wait for more camping activities!

But why am i feeling this way?
