Long time no blog! After 2 long years and a few months I'm back in lovely rgs again.
I feel like a student all over again! The feeling's really great. I miss it so much. I guess that's what they mean by being in your comfort zone. I really miss my secondary school days. It was tons of fun. And I get to relive it all over again as a relief teacher. HAHA.
My classes are really fun and incoherent sometimes. They're all cool kiddos. But MYAs start later on today and I guess the stress is really building up for all of them. It's like being in a pressure cooker for them. Poor kids. But they'll survive it! They'll probably find their island in the middle of the vast ocean, or latch onto a piece of floating driftwood somehow. So I'll be retrenched for the next 2 weeks while the kids slog it out. Grr. At least I don't have to key in 2 levels of pft results anymore! And I won't get blind staring at excel spreadsheets for hours (:
Today was a rainy day. Poured in the morning, drizzled in the afternoon. But the breeze in the afternoon was to-die-for. I havent felt such amazing and lovely winds in ages and I LOVED IT. Its my favourite kind of weather and it just makes me want to lie down on the field and stare at the sky. Except. That the field was still muddy from the morning showers, apparently with worms crawling in the soil since there were so many birds pecking at it. Hence I couldn't bring myself to lie down.
Staying back in school today and bumming around in the canteen brought back lots of memories of idling about and doing nothing back in my schooling days. It's fun to do nothing sometimes. I guess I'm forever plagued by nostalgia. I need to pull myself out of this trap soon.
On a more unhappy note, I'm getting FATTER. Need to lower my fat percentage to the normal range. Hence, I resolve to engage in my most disliked activity of jogging more frequently. I hope I'll actually do what I say. |

Dumb insects are flying into my room. There are random beetles and a million other random flies all over the place. Gargh. Well at least I don't see any ants. Hah. Ants are the bane of my existence. The day I see an ant in my house I will just faint or something. haha. Join the anti ant association!
FHT coming up on wednesday. I must must must must NOT bomb this again. Forgetting to call finals is an extremely stupid mistake which only the most idotic and careless people commit. I mean, who would, during a driving test still continue to accelerate forward when he sees the red light? Gargh. It's not gonna happen ever again. I promise! Must do well for the sake of myself and for uncle sim. Let him down once, not going to do it again.
I'm still making alot of stupid mistakes in the air despite telling myself not to. Need to mental fly more often. Need to think/plan ahead more. Need to concentrate more. Need to fly the best that I've ever did. I'm not going to be nervous. I'm gonna treat him like my passenger. I'm gonna make him give up on me before I give up on him. I'm not going to let his comments distract me. I'm not going to get a mental block and forget to call finals. I can do it and I'm gonna get my wings. I CAN DO THIS.
Good thing I didn't decide to go for ASEAN schools. Otherwise my prelims will just die. Smart move!
Okay 2 more days to FHT. eep. I will practice calling finals:
For flapless: CAA-OG FINALS.
For normal: CAA-OG FINALS
For low level: CAA-OG FINALS
For short field: CAA-OG FINALS
For glide: CAA-OG FINALS
For PFL: CAA-OG FINALS
For the record. FINALS FINALS FINALS FINALS FINALS FINALS.
ok I think I'm quite paranoid but that should stop me from forgetting. I can do this! DIAMOND!

Haven't touched this thing in ages.
Prelims coming up. Must study hard.
FHT coming up. Must remember to call finals. Mustn't let my father down again.
When it's all over I shall go take a walk in the park. I wonder which park is nice to go to. I could go to lower pierce reservoir park, which I've never been to, but I hope there won't be any bodies floating about. Or perhaps just take a long solitary walk, like the trail from dairy farm to rifle range. Haven't done that since sec 2. haha. It's quite an adventure walking through the thick forests, over these huge pipes, looking at the cool rifle ranges, just simply absorbing the sights and sounds around me. Stopped when I saw a dead snake someway along rifle range road. It was dead and cyanosed. Disgusting >.< I would love to do that sometime soon! So fun and exciting. I just hope that there won't be anymore snakes.
Or it'll be quite fun to go to perimeter road to look at aeroplanes and enjoy the seabreeze. Haven't really been there in ages as well. The last time I went there was also in sec 2 I think? haha all the fun things happened in sec 2. I guess after I got involved in house and everything else I just didnt have time to have fun. I mean the feeling of just walking around aimlessly in places like this not knowing what lies ahead is so thrilling. It's as if I've discovered a secret place that no one else but me knows. Or perhaps its the freedom of being able to do whatever I want, to walk to places that I've never been before that attracts me. haha.
Or I could go to the musuem. I think its a superfun place that not alot of people go to, or would like to go to. It's like a treasure trove of knowledge and history that simply wows the person who discovers it. wow. That applies to me at least. haha. I'm not the "let's go sit down and read a book" kind of person so naturally the library is so not a place for me. So that's the newly revamped national museum and the asean civilisations museum at empress place marked under the list of places I wanna go to when I'm free! Woohoo!
Yay okay I should stop daydreaming and get back to work. Poisson and Binomial distributions are killing me. Bahh. Stats is awfully boring. But I must master them! DIAMOND! |

| netball carn |
[Oct. 23rd, 2005|12:17 am] |
Netball carn was quite exciting and eventful! I think netball is actually quite fun, despite all the running that is required. Hmm. I can't believe I was in netball for 3 years in primary school. Haha. It was quite fun except that we never took part in any competitions because we didn't have enough people for a complete team I think. Sad to say, it closed down two years after my batch left the sch.
Anyway its so fun to watch skilled people play netball! Their passes are so brilliant fast and accurate, and they fly around very quickly too. How amazing!
I'm rather happy that my group is almost done with our physics pt. YAY. Now for geog and photonics presentation. Hmm. And chinese Os coming up next monday. AAHHHH. The horrors.
I think "war and beauty" [jinzhiyunie] is such a beautiful drama serial! One of the best hongkong dramas I've watched! The plot is fantastic! Yay. I think the scriptwriter is so brilliant!
Sleepy! Our class shirt looks cool! But my shirt got bleached and the colours faded. Some parts of the ants are gone too. Oh well. It still looks cute! YAY. |

I'm finally updating after eons (: I'm feeling surprisingly hyper even though its 230 am in the morning! EOIs are OVER. I proclaim gleefully. WHEEE. Well today didn't feel like the first day of the holidays because I hadn't tuned in to the holiday mood yet but now I'm just bumming around like nobody's business.
Okay this week's going to be a busy week I think. There's the NE quiz, March of the penguins movie, outing to kbox with sien and jo and junx and co as well as training. Yay I shall attempt to resume training as per normal so that I won't be dying by the time I join rjc for training during the november holidays. Therefore, I will go for all trainings from now on! Unless I have to study for Chinese. Oh well.
Speaking of which, I shall start studying Chinese tomorrow. I really don't think I'll be able to do well for Chinese although I really want to. Hmm oh well.
Oh yes operation mib gathering today was rather productive for me because my group finally got something done for our community service project. Well even though things aren't cast in stone yet, at least we've got some idea to start with. We're planning to organise some sort of tour by bands from schools to schools. I dont't think the sec schools in Singapore are that receptive to it, but we'll see how it goes.
I think that I'm going to be quite busy next year if I'm going to be involved quite heavily in the cdc's activities, which will most likely be the case. Let' see. So far I've planned to join track and field, which will be quite a heavy commitment if I want to throw a good distance, then there's youth flying club. But if I get phased/kicked out of the club due to poor performance (evil people >.<) then too bad for me then. There's women's football club too, which nat will ask me to join next year in jc when she sees me around in school. Hahaha. Most importantly I have my studies! I pledge to be a studious student next year! Hopefully.
I think I shall change my journal template! Yes. Okay. An activity to keep me occupied for the night(or morning).
The school finally released our options results to us. I got into photonics, the escape theme park thingum, cultural landscapes and the woman's voice. Of which, I am dreading the last module the most because I didn't even sign up for that. Grr. But I guess it'll be quite a fun time in term 4. Hopefully.
So much about planning what to do next year. I can't wait for the new year to arrive! Whee. I signed up for kettling! Yay. Somehow, no matter how mundane and boring kettling may seem, I find enjoyment in kettling. Well, if you ignore the fact that yo have to wear silly aprons and hats. HAHA. Whoever is interested in kettling can join meee! Just tell me that you're interested so that I have a partner to kettle with!
Okay I shall go off now.
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I love greenday! |

Hello journal. Let me fill you with words.
Went down to cck today wanting to watch asean schs javelin but when I reached there it just ended. SO ANNOYING. I went there and plonked myself down on the seat, waiting for the people under the tent to go out and grab a javelin to throw. And all I saw was people keeping the sector lines and the distance markers. Ah annoying.
Anyway the atmosphere was rather dead. No one was really cheering. The stadium was relatively empty. Met malina there! She was on ushering duty I think. Heh. And she was telling me how she watched the asean schools meet (held in malaysia) last year on tv and the stadium was actually filled with people! And the people were cheering enthusiastically! I think the delegates from the other countries have a bad impression of Singapore. Oh well.
I miss competition! However the upcoming allcomers competition doesn't have the javelin category for women. Ack.
On a more depressing note, next week is going to be a busy busy week. 3 SPAs, 1 yingyongwen test, Chinese mocks, and goodness knows what. Good luck to me and everyone else! We must work hard!
On a happier note, I've decided what I want to do in jc. So I don't have to worry about that anymore. Yay. It's just going to be studies, track&field and flying. Nothing else!
I think I've caught the flu bug that has been going around the class. Die bug Die.
Goodbye journal! |

Whee today was rhd and yours truly was wearing a sari! Yay! Quite pretty I must say! I have uploaded pictures onto this place. HERE. Well uploading pictures take an awfully long time. Gah. Don't like. Hmm Went to school in the morning in slippers. Don't like slippers )= They make my feet hurt. Shan't wear them ever again! Yay to footwear with good support! Sandals! Okay anyway the oncert was filled with people dressed up as food >.<
Key to type of food:
People in White: Rice
People in Yellow and White: Egg
People in Green: veggies
I think uploading pictures onto the net is weird >.< Whee anyway I think we were supposed to spend the art appreciation time doing the paper beads thing but the whole class was taking pictures instead! Yay for rhd! Whee! Anyway recess was super long! Went around with fang and jo. I wanted to buy a coconut but it turned out to be coconut jelly instead. Eee. Then I couldn't drink the coconut juice. Hai. Bummed around in the room after that. Fang became our jukebox!
Then it was the cultural appreciation time! We learnt indian dance! Was quite cool! Oh they were playing lagaan in one of the classrooms! Such a nice movie! Haha. But I realised that the lies wee quite r rated for the male-female dancing scene. One of the lines went like that: my limbs are fragrant because you have touched me. Hmm. OKAY. Moving on..
SS test was quite okay. Hmm. Shall not comment much.
Went to play pool with sien jo junx cher carol at paradiz. Yay FUNFUNFUN. My first time playing pool! OOh guess how my first time at breaking was like. I hit the white ball and it flew up and landed into the triangle of balls and the balls separated from each other. How sad. HAHA.
I think pool is funfunfun! I wanna play again! They should have a pool cca! I might join as a recreation cca. FUNFUNFUN. I shall go play soon when I have money!
I have nothing on tmr! WHEEE. Yay going to Jo's house tmr. LALALA
okay that shall be all for now. byebye! |

[Jul. 14th, 2005|09:26 pm] |
I found out about the nkf scandal today! I'm sloww. Maybethat's because I don't read the newspapers. Ah. That explains it.
I also found out that I know nothing about whatever we're learning in class nowadays. Which is BAD. I must be more hardworking. MUST MUST MUST.
I also found out that I'm turning into a slob, now that tehre won't be anymore trainings for me. My fitness level is at an all time low. Wow. I should start jogging soon or sth, even though I don't like running, and then I can train for my 2.4 at the same time.
And I found out that the criteria for getting to take part in asean schools track and field is to be the best in your event in the country and to be under 18. AH. okay. Missed it by one placing. Well sort of.IF ONLY. Lalala. Shall pop by to watch.
I've been eating chicken for four days in a row. Ah. But I'm not sick of it. Yet. HAHA |

Ah math test was horrible! I stared at question 3 blankly for half the paper and I still don't know what they were asking for. SO DEAD. Eek.
Today was such a sianned day >.< I couldn't wait for school to end since the first block, which is quite sad becausethis is really the wrong attitude la. Eck. Must strive to be more hardworking. Speaking of which, my jixiyanjiang is tomorrow and I'm the first one to speak. ECK. DIEDIEDIE.
Went down with chloe to cck after school today to watch the javelin b boys since we didn't have anything on after school. They're so pro! Woot. The winner threw 50 metres la. Woah. I would love to throw that far too! Too bad I don't have the strength to do so. Ah. At first we sat right in front of the speaker, which proved to be a very bad choice when the announcer called for the competitiors/prizewinners and it was blasting right into our ears. Then we did the right thing and shifted to the other side of the speaker. yay.
Stayed there for almost the whole afternoon. Lalalala. I want to watch c girls javelin tmr! But its in the morning and I can't pon chinese. Dang.
Hmm I really wonder if our sch's b div can even get into top 4 for nationals this year. We're currently 11 points ahead of singapore sports school but they'll probably catch up very very soon, especially when the running events are all coming up. Aahh. I worry for the team.
Shall go off now. BYEBYE |

Ah. It's finally over. Quite disappointed with my results. 29.31 is EURGH. Was expecting to get a new pb but I just screwed it up la. Annoying. Second's okay cos I thought amelia really deserved to win. That girl improved ALOTALOTALOT in just a few months. Wonder how she does it. Haha I'll learn from her next year when I join rjtnf.
Yupp I've made up my mind. Shall focus on throwing next year, which means hello trackandfield again in jc and byebye everything else. Maybe the reason why I never really improved this year was because I was too preoccupied with my other committments so I couldn't focus on training. So, I shall train hard next year and hope for better results! Yepp.
Training's over! And no more trainings for the rest of this year. But I WILL NOT be a slob. I will continue to maintain my fitnes level for the rest of the year!
Anyway, yesterday's nats was one of the best competitions that I've been to. Maybe it was because I finally learnt how to relax during a competition. Or maybe it was because everyone there were very friendly and the atmosphere was very light hearted although everyone was competing against each other. Or maybe it was the rain. I don't know the reason why, but it sure was beautiful.
It started raining just before we were supposed to report at the call room, but it subsided after a while, so we started throwing. 2 more throwers before everyone had their 3rd throw, it started drizzling really heavily. After the 2 of them had their turn, bolts of lightning appeared in the sky, so they shooed us to the sheltered area. It was quite scary how you could see flashes of lightning every few seconds. They were huge bolts mind you. Yeah. Scary. So we waited and waited and waited. Eck, We probably waited for at least an hour plus. What a long wait. Everybody was hoping for the competition to be postponed but ah they decided to go on with it when the rain got lighter.
I guess it was quite fun throwing in the rain. Was definitely a fun experience. Haha. Was feeling sleepy and very nervous at the same time throughout the competition. Pleah. Thoughts were just racing through my mind right before my last throw. Was thinking how that throw was going to be my very last one at my last nationals for secondary school. Hahah. 4 years of training overrrrr finally. And sadly. So that was my best throw for the day, but still not good enough. PLEAH.
But all in all it was a really overwhelming experience and I'm happy la. I've found my passion in throwing after 4 long years. Woot. Shall continue in jc! Yeah. I've finally decided! Happy happy joy joy!
I really feel like reminiscing now but ah I have a math test tomorrow. Sucks! I don't even know how to do the revision exercise questions. I totally forgot how to do them. Good luck to me tomorrow! |

Yay okay I'm finally updating. Week 3 has been a terrible week and I'm glad I survived it. WOOT.
No more history and bio PTS. NO MOREEE. Lesson learnt: start on your PTs eariler. I'm still quite amazed at how I managed to finish the bio PT when I only started on it the day before. Hmm okay I should never do that again. Hai.
Javelin finals tomorrow! I can't wait. Yes. Although I'm feeling very nervous now. I think I shall only go for history tomorrow morning. Listen to the head prefect speeches, pass the banner cloth to jo/rng, and then I'll head down to cck. Yupp okay that's it. Shall not miss history.
I shall pray for good weather tomorrow! I hope it rains tomorrow! *does a rain jig* Then the air will be nice and cool. I really don't want to throw under the HOT HOT sun. I'll just evaporate into the air. Feeling really nervous now. Yesterday too. Ack shall not put pressure on myself. No targets, just do my best. Must not tense up. Must relax. Feeling a little tired from yesterday's training. Or maybe I'm just hallucinating. LALALA. Shall go destress. Else I'll just implode from feeling so nervous even before tomorrow's competition. ECK. RELACC
Congrats to chloe for getting 3rd for shotput! Yay her.

Ah somehow my jay chou cds have disappeared from my drawer. Only the latest cd is left. I can't find the rest. How traumatising. Well well. His music puts me in a very reminiscing mood. Hmm but that's not the point!
Okay I'm feeling very sleepy now and I don't feel like doing any work. I can always go to sleep and wake up later, which is what I always do, but the chances of me actually waking up to do whatever work I need to do are very low. So nevermind.
I think its tough toggling between work and cca. I have cca every alternate day on monday, wednesday and friday. On these days when I get home, I don't feel like doing any work because I'm so tired I just want to go to my bed and sleep the moment I reach home. Ok maybe that was a little exaggerated. I would watch tongxinyuan then go and sleep. Hah. Anyway, and on days which I do not have cca, I have to sleep early so that I won'tbe dead for training the next day. Well well. Life is tough indeed. How come I can't be like Dr Ben Tan and sleep for only 5 hours everyday. Tough indeed I say. It was never meant to be easy.
I don't like doing chemistry. Grr. Why do the worksheets have question like " what do you understand by the term organic?" and the following question "What do you understand by the term inorganic?". Hmm isn't the answer to the second question all that is not the answer to the first question? Haiyah I'm just complaining. OKay think positive thoughts! OKay!
I took the long route home today again, taking 190 to Choa Chu Kang then MRT home. Ah.
We finally started on history pt. Yay. But it's due next tuesday, which isn't a very good thing since we just started. HOHO.
Well on a happier note, I received a call from desmond (i think) from MIB to say that we'll be meeting at the mrt control station this saturdy before heading towards vhub, wherever that is. I think he called everyone in the social entrepreneurship module up, which I felt was a surprising thing because I thought it was quite nice of him to take the initative to call everyone up. Even though it's just a small thing, I felt it was very thoughtful of him. Haha. Oh well. Can't wait for the Bizlaw course this saturday!
I'm starting to think that tennis is actually quite fun to play! Except that I cannot serve properly. But that isn't the main point. The main point was the shift in mindset towards tennis since I always thought tennis was a very boring game, especially I never knew how to play it in the past. Heh. I had always grouped tennis together with golf under the heading of "boring sports to watch on teevee". Yeah I would just switch channels if those sports were shown on teevee. I think that those sports are fun to play but not fun to watch.
I shall go off now. My bed is awaiting me. Bye. |

What happened today:
Spotcheck
We had to collect our motors/ generators back from the labs [they totally disfigured my generator >.<]
Had tennis for pe [I still can't play tennis]
English PT Assignment [Miss Ng deprived us of 10 mins of our writing time because she started late >.<]
Sec 1 CLE talk [I heard Mingjing came to give the talk. DANG I didn't get to see her. DANG]
Training [My throws seemed well today [: They didn't curve to the left. Yay!]
The ride home [I went one big round to get home. Got home real late but still in time for the last episode of the vigilante in the mask.]
The evening sky was really pretty today too! I guess the colour gradient was the one which caused it to be so attractive because when you look towards the east, the sky is totally dark but when you turn your head in the other direction, you see that the sky is of a light blue colour with red streaks lining the the bottom of it. In the middle, it's just this beautiful colour gradient which connects the two ends together. Lalala.
Okay I think I'm falling in love with the sky. Haha. I am amused!
Go away negative thoughts! Vanish from my head!
First day of term 3 was quite okay. Tomorrow should be quite an okay day too.
Time to sleep now. Bye! |

I have decided to join astronomy club next year. Yay. Then I can stare at all the pretty stars! And I must make sure that I live to at least 73 years old! Then I can catch a glimpse of Halley's comet, which is speculated to appear in 2061/ early 2062. Well that's a LONG time from now. I wonder if I'll even live till that age.
I just washed my elbow guard. It smells nice. Actually it doesn't. It smells like a mixture of deep heat and washing detergent. But compared to the smell of deep heat mixed with sweat I'll prefer this anytime. Heh.
And I got new high jump spikes. From coach. For free. WOW. Okay. I didn't expect him to give me a pair of spikes la. Wahlau eh. By the way they're high jump spikes because javelin boots have a very high cut and I may not get used to them. And high jump spikes have spike nails at the heel too so its about the same. Well well. The nails are really really sharp btw. I now have a cut on my middle finger on my left hand because I accidentally rubbed the nail against the finger. Ah. Conclusion: This would be a very good weapon for self defence against any molesters! All I have to do is to slam the sole of the spike shoes agaist the face of the person with evil intentions and that person will be screaming in pain. Eurgh. How awful.
Anyway I really didn't expect him to give me a pair of spikes. He says it's because I've been quite a good throws captain and I deserve it. Hmm but I still don't think I do. I haven't been an exceptional captain this year and neither have I been performing well recently. Argh my throws have been like crap and I can even throw straight now. They all sway to the left, which shaves 5 metres or more of my distance. Sadded. I guess this is quite an incentive for me to join track again in jc. I would love to continue throwing and besides I don't want to let the spikes go to waste. Haha.
Then again, when I go to jc, I wanna join youth flying club and astronomy club and maybe house comm. And I want to do lots of community service and help the people around me. And I want free time to enjoy life. Like drinking hot milo on a morning at an empty food court at toapayoh. Ah it feels good to be alone sometimes, to take a break from my busy school life. Oh well. And on top of everything I want to do well in my studies. Now that's a very important thing. Okay. I have serious time management problems.
I shall pledge to do well for higher chinese os this year! My chinese used to be very good in primary school! But ever since I came into rg my standard has been dropping as the years pass. How sad. I mean from an A* in Chinese and distinction in higher chinese at psle to my current state of almost failing chinese now I guess it means that if I don't pull up my socks and start to take action soon, I'll be getting a very ugly grade on my o level cert. It also means that since my chinese wasn't too bad in primary school, it shouldn't be that hard for me to catch up in my chinese. Yaye.
Today's evening sky looked marvellous! I was in love with it! Ah the shade of blue was so pretty. Well too bad most pretty things are short lived. Maybe tomorrow's evening sky will be as beautiful as the one today.
I love you sky! |

Lets be optimistic (:
Optimism is a stepping stone to success.
Lets throw away all those unhappy thoughts. And BREATHE. Think. There's no point being sad if such a feeling is detrimental to you. No matter how much you think all those schoolwork and stress seem to be like a towering tsunami waiting to crash down on you, dispel the fear and surf those waves man. Overcome this and you will be able to achieve so much more. I know you have the ability to excel even with the constant threat of such a disaster. All you have to do is to have the right mindset. Not one of a pessimist, but one of a CHAMPION, because I know you can do it (: You are a winner! WINNER! Yay.
Whee. Breakfast today was good i say! Went to school today thinking that the meeting with the games capts was at 8 but it turned out to be at 9 instead . Poot. So what did I do? I walked to the Hard Rock Cafe to have their breakfast, which was on offer at only 90 cents per set. How brilliant is that! Breakfast is inclusive of scrambled eggs on toast, one chipolata sauasage, one scoop of coleslaw, baked beans ,hashbrown and your choice of coffee or tea. Yay. All that for 90 cents! Plus a live show of Class 95 DJs talking and playing all those oldies. Hmm. The service was brilliant too. Haha brilliant.
Then after the meeting I went to cut my hair at lucky plaza at the other $10 shop. And my hair looks weird. HAHA. Nevermind it will grow.

I feel sad because school is starting soon.
When school starts, all the homework and PTs and responsibilities start pouring in. Then I'll feel sad again. I hate it how I get very moody at nights during term time and I start to spout depressing rubbish online. Ah. Then i'll have a strong urge to visit the school counsellor because I 'll feel depressed. However, once I go to sleep I'll be back to my normal self again when I wake up. Yay for that. Okay incoherence is taking over. Whee.
I suddenly realise how stressful it is being in rgs. Or maybe its just because of the fact that I have so many commitments. I used to like school because of the people,the environment and all, but now the atmosphere in school is very different. I don't know actually. I guess the main aim of going to school is for knowledge to be imparted to us, for us to learn more about the world so that we can go help make it into a better place when we grow up. But another reason for us going to school is for us to build up our character, adversity quotient and emotional quotient through our cca and various leadership development programmes which the school has implemented. Well isn't that quite brilliant. We go to school and develop not only our mind, but our heart as well. Yay. And everyone is happy.
But I guess rp kinda made it worse for me. I mean everyone now is so worried about their GPAs and PTs and test and EOIs that the heart aspect of education is placed out of the limelight in a way. I think its quite absurd for people to skip ccas, and even lessons just to study for a test or to finish up a performance task. I mean if one person does it once in a blue moon it's still tolerable but if it becomes a trend then I guess something has definitely gone wrong. How are we supposed to cultivate a sense of responsibility and be people who are accountable for our own actions if such behaviour is condoned?
Okay I'm sorry but I don't think the school's CLE lessons are effective at all, much less the assessments that they want us to do for CLE (e.g set SMART goals to be assessed by the teacher??) I think that leadership is something which is very intangible, something which doesn't appear physically such that the only way to learn more about it is to experience it. How do you expect people to build their character just by listening to a teacher talk about it? It's so absurb. We should replace it with a better curriculum. Seriously.
And the whole thing about how the school wants to make each and everyone a leader is quite a tough job I must say. I mean yeah it's true that everyone is a leader in his/her own right but if you're gonna make everybody in this school a leader by increasing the size of the leadership boards, etc. I don't think it will work out like that. If everybody in this school becomes a leader, then who's going to follow? I mean a leader is not one if there is no group of people to lead right? Ok I feel very confused now. Gahh.
Okay enough with the leadershippy stuff. I miss camp )=
School is horrible. Poot.
Okay I shall be optimistic. Well I guess the real world is harsher and school is just preparing us for the real world. So whatever we're doing in school now will help us in future. Yes. Optimism is a key to success I say!
I think when school reopens I'll be so busy that I won't have time to think about all these things. Haha.
I love hot milo! Drinking it makes me happayeeeeeeee.
This year has been a stressful year. LALALA.
Maybe I should be a camp instructor when I grow up. It looks fun (=
I want to be a useful person and contribute to the society when I grow up! Yay!
I don't want school to start!
