Pour Me A Heavy Dose Of Atmosphere
Have been readin' a couple of blogs here and there, and came onto this particular friend's blog. He hasn't updated for a while, and I've read those posts before. Nevertheless I went back to read 'em again coz I think he writes awesomely funny stuffs.

And that's when it came to me:

It's time I blog properly too.

Recently I've come to notice that I've been listin' everything out. Everything I've to do, that is. Maybe I just need to list 'em out so I can condition myself to start bloggin' properly. Okay now I'm thinkin' aloud too. Nice. Haha.

So lemme try to get things in chronological order:

As many of you already know, my appeal to continue studyin' in CJ was rejected. The contract I signed when I retained very clearly stated that as a retainee I must pass every single subject, and I failed Bio, so yeah, out I go.

The cher who called me to tell me of my impended doom could have picked a better time and place to call me tho. I think he was on his way home or something coz the phonecall was filled with alot of traffic noises and it was pretty hard for me to hear his voice amidst all those noise. But well, thank goodness he called me 10 minutes before I entered the cinema for Happy Flight with Jyonyu-kun. I really can't imagine what it'll be like if that cher had called me during the show itself. I would have just wasted my ticket mann. But ahwells, poor Jyonyu-kun had to deal with my incessant sobbin' before the movie. It was supposed to be a nice and relaxin' evening but well, I just had to ruin it with me tears. ごめんな、ジョンユー君!! Speakin' of which, he has recently enlisted!! Wonder how he's doin' now.. I'm sure we'll all miss his lovely golden locks!!
May your locks grow soon ya, Jyonyu-kun!!

2 weeks ago I would still be lamentin' at my lousy academic fate and cry my head off blah blah but not now. Not anymore, that is. Now I've to gather myself to think carefully what I really wanna do in future. I've just decided that I wanna continue with JC. So there. Will be meetin' with diff principals soon. Things like my testimonial, report cards and all those crap are left in the sch becoz we're supposed to collect 'em at the end of our J2 year. =_= Sigh all these trouble could have been avoided if I had kept to my end of the bargain by passin' every darn subject. But I didn't. No point dwellin' in the past mann. All I can - and should - do now is to look forward and make the best of what I'm left with. I'm left with crap but what the heck, I guess crap's better than nothing.

Dad can't seem to find, within his heart a tiny spot to forgive the sch. He made me promise time and time again that after the recent OCIP trip which I had just returned from, Imma have absolutely no more affliations with the sch anymore. Speakin' of which I've been quarrellin' with me 'rents before the trip, during the trip, and even after the trip. All becoz I really wanted to go the trip and all becoz the sch rejected me, I shouldn't go back to help the sch blah blah blah. Call me deluded, call me dumb, I just felt that one should really finish what one has started. I mean why not mann, the main beneficiary here are the poor kids in JB mann.

Can still rmb the night before the trip Mum dropped my favorite cup and told me that it was a bad omen and all those kinda things. I was seriously befuddled. Why, of all ppl will Mum tell me that? She's the least superstitious person I've known to exist, yet, she was sayin' all those bafflin' "reasons"? I could tell that she really really really didn't want to me go, with her worries for me escalatin', it was inevitable that she became so agitated easily. But well, I guess there was divine help after all, with prayers, persuasion and assurance, Mum finally relented, overruled Dad, and I was JB-bound. To have been able to go for the trip, and come back peacefully, I'm more than thankful for all the help I had, whether it was divine help, or help from me peers, who really walked till path with me (in a sense) and I could pull thru this short but seemingly difficult period of time.

Speakin' of which, my 2nd consecutive OCIP trip, was more-or-less a success! Considerin' how many problems cropped up during the camp, we still managed to pull it off in the end!
Really really wanna thank the 7 T30 babes who took time off from their post-exam celebrations to come with us T29 for the camp as facillitators. They had so many things to attend to immediately after their last paper, with prom and Miss Tan's wedding, etc. So a BIG THANK YOU TO T30!!
Not forgettin' my wonderful class T29 who was so heavily involved thruout the camp. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TOO, T29!! Hope everyone has learnt something positive havin' been thru the whole thing, and hopefully hopefully there're no hard feelings against anyone ya?

This recent OCIP trip has left me with a slightly different feelin'. While the excitement and longing seemed less, I must say that the fun and the bonding was still there. Maybe coz I didn't get to see me girls!! From the 20 teenage girls' class I taught last yr, only 3 remained in my Advance class this year. Some have already "graduated" or "出-Home" as the girls there told me, a few were sloted into the Intermediate class while the rest of the girls weren't sent down for the camp coz they were older than the 13-year-old range we asked for. Saddenin' when I think of this sometimes. If there's anyone I truly miss from these 2 years, they're my teenage girls!! I wonder if I'd ever get to see 'em again..):

Learnt alota things during the camp mann. From the detailed plannin' to the flexibility of our situations. I dun think I've ever had to make so many changes within such a short time before. Yep and this experience has further strengthened my opinion that it is really hard to be in any event-organisin' team. But well, there are countless things to learn especially when one has to organise large-scale things.

What else have I left out? I dunno leh.

So there. Proper blogpost? HELL YEAH.

first it comes on quiet, creeping slow
clever words and phrases only stain
I remain so lost and buried under everything that I need
