Home is where the Heart is

Hmm...yea...i had always been telling u all the events and all...not much about the people rite?
haha...okay let me tell u more about the people here from college and from hostel....hehe
start with school...

we've got our civics rep. already...hendro...from Indonesia...he's really nice always reminds us about basically everything like what assignment to hand in what to bring the next day...and more...basically just like our personal diary...or even better...his quote ~ "drink more water" that's like what he told us almost everyday...and we've also gotten our pw groups I'm with daniel, elizabeth, eveline (not evelyn...haha), and marianne...i kinda like our group....everyone is like helping one another...not stressing up each other like the other groups...we even have time to joke around but of course have to keep close to our deadlines

hmm...we went over to elizabeth house today...she've got a small dog just like the one i used to have...damn cute....arrr....miss my dog too...anyway we were there doing our group project proposal and joking around until about 5 pm...hmm...next time show u their pictures...

and our class is like quite bonded now....but the guys are a bit 'crazy' though...haha...they each got a 'gay' partner...dunno what's wrong with them....teachers always try to separate them in class....and there was one day when xavier another guy in class wanted to go to the toilet together with melvin teacher was like must u go together? 'no,later' 'i think I'm going to pee in class' 'laugh laugh' and in the end teacher have no choice but to allow him to go along....then there's syida and adora...both of them had their bags loaded with goodies before coming to school....haha...sweets, chocolates, breads, cakes, etc... so we always have a small party before lessons...hehe....of course without the teacher knowing....don't really have any problem with people in my class...I'm nice to everyone mah...haha....just joking...they are all very nice....

as for hostel,hmm...did i tell u about this china scholar who's really weird? actually all of us here find her weird...not that she did anything to us but her attitude is just not like what most of us expect her to be...there was one day when we were walking home and she purposely disturb the dog....dunno why....and she was eating in the TV room which is air-conditioned...haiz...

hmm...the rest of the boarders here are quite nice and friendly...i told u about them already right?
mjc was having their common test last week and most of the are really stressed up and was also acting weirdly...we have a small birthday party for linh on saturday....sing wei, yung and san went to get her a birthday cake and present and dine in a Japanese restaurant before coming home....then sing wei was acting really weird after that...he says he's drunk??? yung says probably there's wine in his food...haha....and he was weird the whole day....but we think it's his way of releasing stress....so don't mind him...today he's much better... there's another funny thing happened....we had ice-cream after dinner today and we were the last one there as all the rest had left the hall....so when we went over to get our dessert, the auntie gave me two sticks of ice-cream...so i ask him to choose...one's pink and one's blue....guess which one he choose? the pink one...haha....but in the end i gave him the blue one....i think it's really weird for him to hold the pink ice-cream and walk around the hostel...

yea so that's about all i think it's super long already...catch up with u soon...see ya bye

yeap I'm in photography and chess club..there will be tpjc runway tomorrow...kinda like fashion show for us with some other performances....but guess what can go in for free coz I'm doing photography duty...haha...lucky rite? and yesterday we had our chess competition...intra-college...not bad

and we will be having our sports day next Friday...but no one in our class is competing...we didn't get through the heats...so sad....but anyway will be attending it as well...on duty again..haha....then there will be the sea sports carnival...I'll be taking part in the dragon boat event only...scary leh...i don't know how to swim some more...haih...luckily not canoeing....the canoe can easily capsized...haha...

hmm...what else arr...yea so basically we are preparing for the events lorr...so must ready juggle our time well....as we'll be missing quite a lot of lessons and the common tests are just around the corner...the essay questions itself freak me out...haha...and same goes for maths...we took like 30minutes to solve one question today and that is relatively long for an a level question....haih...

basically that's all that are happening

We just had our sports day last week. And Hawk emerge as the overall champion..Yay!!! we are in Hawk (yellow - don't really like the colour) and we will be having our sea sports carnival on monday. currently Hawk and Heron (purple) are tied with 33 points each. so it depends on the jc1s to score.
We had our first dragon boat practice session on Saturday and it was really fun. most probably because it's my first time dragon boating...haha...we were there for more than 2 hours and all of us are like super tanned now.
The session was okay, well-organised because there is someone from dragon boat in our class, so he taught us all the techniques to row for a long distance. hopefully we can make it...haha!!!!yea!!!
however, we were not really concentrating as it was super hot and we are really tired after rowing for 1 hour so sight-seeing...we had sight-seeing almost every 50 strokes...and besides that we were playing with each other splashing water and joking around...also we wave at other people who were practicing there..tried to race with them but we are like nothing...can't even get close enough...main reason was because we had 7 people to their 20 people....so no matter how hard we tried we can do it...hopefully on that day we can over come all the other classes...and another of our mistake is singing while rowing...wasting our energy...haha...all the nursery rhymes...other people was like staring at us....including our seniors who were practicing there too...
oh yea we took almost one hour to locate the place...reached the mrt station at about 2 pm....walk around the park to look for the place until about 2.45pm before starting our official practice...hehe...actually we walk up and down the park for almost 3 times to find the training center...
yea and on the 20th of may is our college day, something like speech day too...but i will not be attending because we'll have some activity in hostel on the same day....so can't make it ....

We just had our school carnival cum open house ....yea same as you having speech day in school..wonder how's it? just like any other year? or somethin interesting happened? haha...really want to hear Pn. Hong's comment on the results...must be interesting as it involved us...
Hmm...as for our carnival there wasn't much interesting stuff...except that there's really a variety of games booth but all about academic in one way or another...there was science, maths, sports, and lots more...but unfortunately i'm on duty for photography so i got to be there as early as 7.30am to prepare and my duty's until 12 pm....didn't really do much just follow the vips walking from one booth to another...tiring....ahhh...but they talk so long at each booth and i can't be snapping their pictures all the time so i also sit down and play...haha....
there was haunted house also but they didn't allow me to enter with the camera as it will spoil the fun...dunno why...nvm about that...haha....and at 3.30pm our class is on duty to clean up the hall and the stadium...it was quite clean though so nothing much to do...went back and e-mail you now...haha
yeaterday was the asean night, did't attend because.....was too tired, came back late and miss the bus...haha...but they told me it was really fun and exciting...too bad i miss it...nvm there's still asean dance to come hopefully will be able to attend it...hmm...so that's all for now....

Ouu...haha...i didn't go to church these few days...we went to temple instead...it's much nearer..just walking distance...of course i'll remember you...you will too right? haha...so you'll be taking four subjects? that's great but not the same as ours here...maths and further maths are combined into one subjects...so you can take maths without further maths...and i seriously find it tough...you know how i was struggling with add maths last time.....arrr....yea so that's one big problem and of course my essays....another one...just had our gp test today...glad that's it's over...will get our biology and chemistry results tomorrow...hopefully i don't fail...

so your college life sounds so free and enjoyable....get to know lots of people...haha...yea i'm not doing my project work in the computer room...decided to take a break and reply your mail...hmmm...this is another BIG problem...now's just the beginning of the project...

i don't think i'll be going back for the speech day....i only got the spm award i think...so doesn't matter...haha...most of the time people don't go also..you must attend coz you've got the biggest award and i'm proud of it...haha...too bad i can't witness it....must take good photos to let me see ya... i actually thought of attending, however we'll be having our carnival on the same day...and it's compulsory...and the day before is the asean night but i'm most probably not going....ahaha...so you won't see me this saturday....haha....nvm will be coming back during the june holidays...do you all have holidays too??

okay got to get back to work or else will never get to finish it before the room close....haha....

I'm great here except that there are a lot of tutorials, assignments, projects and worst of all tests. There's a test after each chapter for each subject so it's like 'test' season now. Hmm...So how was Good Friday? Got a lot of Easter eggs? We went out to celebrate one the boarder, Sing Wei's birthday in the airport so no egg but only cake. Ha-ha, what a place to celebrate, in the airport we find it a bit weird though. Well, it's because we've got to send another boarder, Yung. She's going back to Vietnam to visit her grandmother. And believe it or not, Yung really reminds me about you. Well, it was since her first day here that I thought so but yesterday was really reminds me of you. Before we left for the airport she was sort of in a rush and left her ez-link card in the room and I thought it really looks like you when you are in a rush...haha…regardless of whether you are in school or at home…and remember the way we studied together before exam like skip this and skip that not important and all…and when we were at the airport already, the officer told her that they don't have here name in the system although she have got the ticket already so she was not allowed to check-in…well this somehow reminds me of you during our time in school I think for the SEWO concert or something…when you look really serious…ha-ha weird right? Must really introduce her to you if there's a chance. I had known her for less than a month but somehow we've got really close already…just like you and I…hehe of course I still think you are the best though. We had a small birthday party together yesterday night in the hostel also and played until quite late about 11pm before there was a roll call for all the JC boarders. Hmm…let me tell you more about our activities here for this month. Today, there will be a musical play organised by the City Harvest Church at the Singapore Expo Hall – Easter Encounter 20006. Haven't really confirm yet but I guess it will really be an eye opening experience. On Wednesday, we'll be having a Mathematics Enrichment Trip to NUS. Hopefully it will be enriching…ha-ha…on Friday will be the Asean Night…not sure what's there…most probably not going…coz Saturday's our college carnival cum open house. And guess what we've all got a free t-shirt to be worn on that day…The following Wednesday will be our Intra-college Chess Competition while on Saturday we will be having a friendly match with the Othello team from Nanyang JC. The first week of May we will have our first Learning Journey to the Supreme Court and on Saturday is my first Flag Day experience…So there's a lot of activities lined up for us so must really balance our time well as our common test is also around the corner. Hmm…school is great too. We are now having rock climbing for our Skill PE classes and it's really fun but not the part where we've got to keep the equipments and the warm up process where we have to run at least 4 rounds, 20 push-ups and 20 sit-ups before we can start climbing. Oh yea, we are now starting a new term and there's quite a number of changes. Our tutors, our classmates and of course our workloads…ha-ha…We've got new economics teacher, she's quite okay but I still prefer the old one. As for our GP teacher I think she's fine coz both the former and present teacher's teaching methods are the same…And PE was the best of all coz we've got a teacher who allow us to do conditioning and games alternately during our PE lessons. Our classmates, most of them are in different JCs now and we've got 23 people in our class…most of them are new of course and there's only 2 foreign students left. One's me and another's from Indonesia (not the same one as in term 1). And worst of all, I'm the only student in our MTL language class from 06S05 (my class) =( Hmm…so are you still catching up with the rest? Can't wait for the holidays to come. Oh yea, will you all be having holiday the same time as we do?
