2012

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:08:32 +0800

2011 went by in the blink of an eye. It has been such an eventful year and I gained many new experiences.

First was getting into 3L at the start of the year. I’m thankful for such a great class and I really regret not putting in more effort to get to know the class better. I promise to try and spend more time with 3L!

And then there was SYF. The months leading to SYF were just a crazy mix of tiredness and stress. I’m so proud of the Gold we got and I’ll never forget the amount of effort we all put in together to attain this Gold. DHSSB rox your sox!!!!!

Sydney in June was one of the most amazing experiences ever. Spent most of the 6 days with my beloved section and it was just plain amazing. It was such a pity that we missed the chance to play in the Opera House but I’m just grateful that we even got a chance to step foot on Sydney because of the many problems that cropped up before that. (I’ll always remember the ash clouds that almost caused our trip/flight to be cancelled)

I also worked for the first time this year, as a banquet waitress at Fullerton and Marina Mandarin. It was quite a different feeling and I must say it was quite an eye opening experience. Tiring and all, but really good exposure!

And the recent overnight band camp. The floor was hard and cold, the showers had no heaters (T_T) and we could only bathe for 5 min lol, the food wasn’t fantastic but I guess camps are like that to train us. By the time the camp was over, everyone was so exhausted but it was great bcos we went through it as a band. It was our last Sojourn together with the year 5s and my dearest seniors are so cute!! I’ll miss them to bits and I had a wonderful time as their junior.

2011 was such a great year because I got to know so many people better. Lost a good friend, but gained so many more. I’m really thankful for everyone in my life and I hope that 2012 will be a better (or at least decent) year for all my dear friends :-)

Wrote this yesterday but felt that it was slightly inappropriate to post it before the end of all papers.

Decided to stop being bitter about how many marks I’ve lost in this paper and that paper cuz I know I didn’t do my best and I deserve this shit. Probably gonna have the same mentality again next year though.. How do you even curb laziness????

Quite annoying how I have this weird attitude and that even if I were to have another chance to retake my papers I probably wouldn’t study any harder cos I’m just lazy like that. Extremely annoyed with myself, but then again I’m just too lazy to change.

Before EOYs started, I just kept pushing back my study plan because of the lethal combination of laziness and procrastination. When the EOYs finally started, it dawned on my that I had to get my ass off the couch and do some actual studying. But even then, the day before the paper I actually spent equal, or probably even more time slacking around and watching tv as compared to studying. Omg I totally deserve shit results.

我老了

When we first got the email in Apr, I found this thing rlly cool. & before you know it, we formed a team :-) I think it was rlly an eye-opening experience for me because I’ve never done anything like this before and yes you guys were such great team mates! Through all the planning and constructing, I think I really learned a lot, especially about time management LOLOL. The time we spent slacking was the most fun because well yeah, it was just fun. All the time spent on watching BF vs GF or Psycho GF or kpop (-_-“) or sex change videos was extremely entertaining lolololol.

During the past 2 days, I had an insane amount of fun constructing our colourful-looking machine with you guys. We didn’t have enough time to finish connecting our machine, the steps that we were so confident of didn’t work out well, we had thousands of human interventions, the judge laughed at our group name, so? All at the same time, we had so much fun using WP’s yellow and red tape to fix the whole machine together, our machine looked good (from far LOL), we did our best, our group name is so cute, all our brilliant ideas were so brilliant and most importantly, we had fun.

Exploring the Science Centre (for free LOL), eating catered food that actually tasted good, stealing so many extra boxes of refreshments just to eat the hot dog buns, loading a cannon which exploded in our faces so many times. Then we pranced around the gift shop to look for guailan things, WP ended up buying so many random things that are useless, sneaked back into the science centre because we were lazy to walk the long way, played at the play area like 3 year olds, strolled back to the bus like VIPs, then ran back all the way to the gift shop to take back Timmy’s phone.

This stupid shit took up so much of my time but I don’t regret it one bit because I rlly enjoyed myself. Although I probably won’t join another competition like this, I’m so glad we pressed on and even though we didn’t win anything, I’m still rlly proud of the piece of crap we produced (and wrecked yesterday) because it represented our months of hard work.

K bai hope you guys enjoyed yourselves as much as I did throughout the course of this competition! :-)

Spent 1h looking through SYF and Sydney photos…

Feeling rlly sad right now becos all these seem to have happened so long ago :’(

I rlly miss Sydney!!!!! & SYF too becos albeit feeling extremely stressed, I think I enjoyed myself a whole shitload too.

Sydney was such a wonderful experience and I would never trade it for anythg at all. Definitely want to go there again with DHSSB if I had the chance to. Actually anywhr would do, as long as we travel as a band, right? Right?

SYF was so memorable too. It was and is going to be my one and only JH SYF and yes it was good. Looking back at the pictures makes me wonder if you even remember any of it at all. Makes me wonder if you feel even a tiny tinge of regret. Makes me wonder if you would change things given another chance. Doubt so.

Sydney w DHSSB was like 6 days of bliss and I still remember hoping so hard that the flight would not be cancelled becos of the ash clouds. And way before that, hoping so hard our trip would get approved in the first place.

I’m so glad I ended up in band becos…. it wasn’t my first choice. My first choice is too embarrassing to reveal but I’m rlly fortunate that I got into band. It’s just a life changing thing, or at least it shaped my secondary school life. No regrets or whatsoever. Rlly rlly rlly glad. Cannot even imagine a life whr I didn’t get into band, yknow. Wouldn’t it be pretty empty???

Oh well it is 2am & I have school tomorrow. Psh goodnight.

In life, you're going to be left out, talked about, lied to, and used, but you have to decide who's worth your tears and who's not.

Sun, 24 Jul 2011 01:57:00 +0800

Useless.

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 00:39:09 +0800

But I guess maybe it’s better this way. I might have regretted it. Who says you can’t help if you’re not. It just kinda hit me hard, lol. But I’m not bitter about anythg. I will go out with a smile and convince myself it’s real.

I think I fell into the drain while I was trying to convince myself that when I said I don’t want to, I really mean it.

Today, I learnt not to have internal arguments in your mind when there is a drain within a 50m radius of you.

We could have had it all

Don’t know why I have a sudden impulse to pour my heart out somewhere. It’s 2am, I have school tomorrow but I just can’t fall asleep because I have too many things on my mind.

Read a couple of blogs & felt a lot of emotions. I’ve been thinking about what i’ve done lately and I realize that I am a very mean person. I am judgmental, I insult based on first impressions, I am too direct with my words and can sometimes be hurtful and I shoot my mouth off without thinking about the consequences of my words. But that’s just the way I am and I’ve never been able to change it. That’s how I was, how I am, and probably how I am gonna be.

& also I’ve been thinking about band a lot recently, what with SYF, Sydney and the upcoming handover. I love playing & that’s the truth. Not very well, I must admit but I just love playing in a band because I can hear all the individual sounds, yet hear the band as a single instrument at the same time. In my recent chinese essay, I wrote a good 500 or so words, describing how I felt on stage on SYF day. It was a very intense feeling, both positive and negative though. But anyway, I think that I’ve been spending too much time having “practices” that weren’t gonna help me improve anyway. I should probably focus on my work since CT week/EOYs are coming. But believe it or not, studying is not in my blood. I hate studying & I cannot sit down at my desk for more than an hour studying. Till now, I have not found a place/time/style of studying where I feel comfortable enough to even do somethg productive. I cannot imagine a time whereby I have to stop all my practices and channel my energy to studying. Nope, never gonna happen. But yes, nothing I can do thr to change anythg either.

Also I have to admit, after 6 months, I am ashamed to say that I still have not grown to love my class. My fault, because I have neglected my class for band. But I miss 2I dearly because they’ve been through so much with me and it’s a class I will never forget. Hopefully I will begin to adapt to 3L and grow to love it soon because they say you will remember your sec 4 class until you grow old.

Think I got a lot of things off my chest now & should probably go to sleep because thr’s a summary test early tomorrow morning. Bye.

Sydney Nothing I say can do justice to what this trip has given...

Sydney

Nothing I say can do justice to what this trip has given me. No word in the dictionary can actually describe how I feel after this trip. All I can say is, 军乐队，一家人.

I really love DHSSB & all our hard work has paid off. We not only got the gold award, we are also the Command Band. Aren’t we just awesome :’)

I gained a lot during this trip, both experience & weight (because of all the western meals) & I have to say these 7 days will be unforgettable and I will smile recalling all these memories.

The feeling of being overseas & away from home with the band is just great and everythg was just really worthwhile. If I have to have any regrets about this trip, it would be missing the chance to play in the Sydney Opera House with the best family in the world.

Thank you dhssb, for creating all these wonderful memories for me to tear with joy as I look back at them.
