Just got to catch the last day of NYP and NP openhouse. First went to NYP. A great place. Big campus. Cool students all over the campus. All very stylish. Walked around and met some of my SRJC friends. Quite surprised that they were there too. Called Yan Fu and Jas whether they were going but they were not. Called Des and knew that Guo Hong was there. Actually want to meet Des, Kz and bith but Guo Hong and friends were heading for NP's openhouse. Want to apologise to Des, Kz and bith. To bith, maybe see you another day. I accompanied Guo Hong and friends to NP. Made some friends with Guo Hong's friends. Great people they are. Second time in NP. First time went there when was in Sec 4 and when NP was having their openhouse. This time went there as a secondary school leaver. Nice packages they gave. Course booth are well-informed. Lecturers are warm. Basically just walked around. Got see a few former schoolmates there. Then also saw Aileen in Clementi MRT station. Hmmm...
The release of the O level results is approaching. Looking forward the day. The day when I can leave a JC and apply for poly, my favourite destination. People and tutors in JC are great, just that the school rules and the subjects doesn't seem appealing to me. I am not really fearful about the results la, for the time being. At least I got an A1 and 5 subjects are used instead of 6. What i worry is my humanities. I don't care about physics and biology as they will not be included in my L1R2B2. I don't really have confidence in humanities and these 2 sciences. Unfortunately, humanities is a subject that must be included in the calculation of L1R2B2 when applying for business course. SS was okay to me but what I fear is literature. I hope that it will be like what Mr Tan said that the British will lower their standard when marking Lit paper written by the chinese. I think it will range between B4 to C6. Let say the worst is C6, then I predict that my L1R2B2 will be 12-15. Consider quite good to me. Anyway, I am going to take A-maths this year. Hope that someone will lent me an A-maths TYS......
I am seeing a change in myself. I used to be a very indolent person, very bo chap about my school work. Now, I don't know why. I start to get worry when I realise that I have not completed my tutorial and burn midnight oil to complete the assignment. That's not me at all. I can even forget about playing my totalclubmanager game and just focus on my task. I am wondering if I have changed... Anyway, to Bithiah, I really don't really know how to talk on the phone and we are like not really close, so I hope that you can understand when I can't project my words properly. :) Nice talking to you anyway.
Guitar, my favourite.
Nice day when choosing my CCA. Considering between guitar and bowling because they are my forte. In the end, I had chosen my favourite one, guitar. SRJC names it guitar ensemble. Sounds so girlish. Man, just can't stand it. I think guitar club sounds more manly. Anyway, there is this JC2 guy asked me to play some chords as I told him that I know guitar. Haha. Well, I played a few chords and he looked quite shocked. Stunned. Yes!!! that's the word. Haha. Damn funny. He thought I pro. Then he told me to play the song he played after he had played finished. So I played and he was stunned. Again. I think he can't accept the fact that I can learn so fast. Haha. Basically, it's just chords and strumming which I rather good in but I am bad in plucking. Lucky he did not tell me to pluck if not I wouldn't get choosen into this guitar ensemble. The funniest part is that he gave me a registration form which allows eight applicants to write their particulars on it. There were 7 names on the application form and wheen I saw it, I feel so sorry for the applicants and the club. ALL the 7 applicants DON'T have any experience in playing guitar. Well, I feel so sorry for them but I still have to write 5 years for myself. In the end, haha, yes! It's guitar.
I think I have to typed this down. I don't know whether it is good for me or for my future but I think this decision may be considered a better choice. I think I am not going to choose Singapore poly. Instead, I am going to for Temasek Poly. Well, this thought had stuck in my mind for one whole day. It seems that it is really inevitable for me to choose TP, thanks to my senior who is my neighbour, studying in SP. He told me it is really an disadvantage for me to choose SP. TP actually is a much more better choice and yes, I really have to agree. I had thought about the factors choosing between SP and TP and it seems that I would be at a disadvantage to choose SP. SP and TP are my favourites. These are the resons:
Firstly, the time taken to travel from my house to SP is 1hr15min. This is really time-wasting. If I am to travel to and fro, it will take me 2hr30min. 10% of my time will be wasted each day in travelling. Whereas for TP, I will take less than an hour to travel to and fro which is really alot more time-saving than SP. Secondly, alot of my friends live in the East so it will be convenient to contact them and ask them out although I don't really do. Those people heading towards TP will be living in the East so I guess it is easier to go out with friends in TP rather than SP because SP students are mostly from thee West. Thirdly, the not so important one and I don't really care so much is that there are more chicks in TP than SP. Well, that's not I said. It's my senior say one so don't see me as a Chee Kok Pei. Haha. There are also some other minor factors to be considered. One of the minor factor is that I can carry the trend of being a Temasekian. I was from Temasek Pri, Temasek Sec and later on Temasek Poly. That's cool!!! So in conclusion, my first choice has to be TP.
What the damn shit!!! The principal and the discipline guy said that they would check boys with long hair and in the end, they did not even turn up. Wah lao eh. Shit man. Just got my hair cut to satisfy them and in the end, they didn't check. Wasted my three months keeping the hair long. After cutting it, it looks like a piece of crap again. Very uncomfortable with it. Sideburns become so short that it can't reach the mid-ear. Hai... si bae sian ar. Have to wait another 3 more months to let the hair grow long. Sian ar.................................
My feeling today is totally and utterly different from yesterday. I suddenly felt that SRJC is great, especially the JC2 OGL(Orientation Group Leader). They are s. uperb. SRJC is not as bad as I once thought. The atmosphere is great and basically everything is great. The food was great, the campfire was great, the people there are great, and most importantly the college is great. Although the orientation may only be 3 days, I have already felt that the college has provided me alot. Not really feeling regretted after all. Basically, a not-so-good school does not mean that the people or the discipline are bad. In fact the discipline is quite straight. There was one PE teacher came to me and tell me to cut my freaking long hair. I was shocked. What the ****, I can't believe. So, I told him I will cut but I did not tell him I will cut after the first three months. Anyway, today is the last day of the orientation. Quite sad actually but at least got some consolation. The best team award goes to my group named, Mistrail. Cool name. That's all.
Did not type anything yesterday because I was just too tired.
3/1/2004
Yesterday was quite unlucky at first but quite smooth later on. Firstly, I was supposed to wake up at 5.30am and guess what. I woke up and off the alarm clock and went back to sleep again. Holy sh**. Luckily there was a phone call made by my neighbour at 6.50am and asked me why I have not leave the house yet if not, I will not going to make it on time or rather, I will be damn late. Reached SRJC just on time. Luckily I did not get posted to CJC. The trip is like around 1h15min from my house to the college. Not really familiar with the people there, obviously but at least made some friends. Still not close yet. Another lucky thing is that there were no teachers going around to check on hair. My hair has been freaking long but no one say anything yet. After that, nothing much. Dismissed at 1.30pm and went to MJC. Nobody knows that I am a intruder because there are so many ex-temasek people there. Just mixed with anyone there and you will be safe. Nothing much to sh** about.
Today
Feeling odd again. Facing so many unfamiliar faces. There are pupils from schools which are located in the north, south, east and west. Got as near as xinmin and zhonghua and got as far as swiss cottage in Bukit Batok. I looking towards the release of the O level result and get into Singapore poly. I don't feel attached to SRJC at all. Thinking I rather not go...
Song completed!
After spending a month composing the song, it has finally finished!!! Sound quite nice actually. This is my forth song in my song list. My first composd song in 2005!!! I never have the luxury of time to so such thing during Sec 4. After O level, I spent lots of time playing guitar and researched on chords and tabs. Skills have been improving since then. Going to work on my fifth song soon. Oh, yeah. I forgot about the lyrics. Shit. It is not completely done. Once it is done, I will post the song.
