Fingers Crossed

Jus came back from doing PW-related stuff. This morning's seriously quite shitty. I had Math lecture test in the morning. You guys should really try doing a test with a runny nose and no tissue. Oh yeah, and also sleep for only 5 hours. I guarantee you it's one of the most torturous ordeal ever. When I looked at the test paper, I was expecting something much much harder for the test. But my jaw dropped when I saw the questions. Funnily, it was much easier than the tutorial standard. I wonder why I spent so much time revising if it was going to be a manageable test. then maybe I wouldn't been braindead before Hip Hop lesson and danced like a retard on Saturday

And I got back my Chem test today too. I checked the ISP (Intelligent School Portal for my non-HC readers) for my continual assesment and I got an A, which is a great jump from the C I had previously. Naturally, I would expect an A for my Chem test, but I got another shock for the day when I saw my marks. It was a pathetic 19/30, a B in other words. To think i studied hard for it. I want to jump off the building because I realized I made alot of silly mistakes I shouldn't have made. Ah well, I hope my Math wouldn't be the same case. I really prepared for Math, and it's supposed (read, supposed) to be my best subject, so I have high hopes for it. Later I get another B then I'll really jump off the building.

And I'm getting excited about tomorrow because Diana will go to OSchool to check the Recital Auditions results tomorrow. The results will be out tomorrow! I'll say this once again: I am keeping my fingers crossed for me and my peeps. I hope we all get into the same Hip Hop performance. Now that would be quite amazing. By this time tomorrow, Diana would be informing us of the results, and I hope to hear good news!

Talking about dancing, since there is only one lecture test left (Econs), I think I can afford to put some time into practising dance. As I said in the last few posts, last week have been crazy and I didn't have time at all. At last I have some free time this week. And I got lots of things to practise on, especially Ryan's Open Class routine, Ann ann's choreo, the recital audition choreo, and also Daniel's Open Class choreo (from a long, long time ago. The locking one). Oh yeah, and my bboying too. I have some time tomorrow, so I'll probably go tomorrow.

And Brian's tag made me think whether I should call my OSchool peeps over to session sometime. He's wasn't the only talking bout it. I remembered Nik and Diana mentioned something like this before too. Hmm.....

Well, damn shagged now. I think I shall hit the bed soon. Till then, good luck everyone for the Recitals! Tomorrow shall be the judgement day!

P.S I can feel the butterflies in my stomach already.

Hope

Well, been busy and having fun for the past 48 hours. So here goes...

Saturday
I actually woke up at 8am to eat breakfast and study for Math Leacture test! Since I know it would be quite impossible for me to do a proper revision during this weekend, I took the liberty to drag myself out of bed and force myself, in spite of the grogginess, to study Math.

To give myself some entertainment while doing Math keep myself awake, I did my revision in front of the TV, which was showing the Olypics telecast. I managed to catch how Micheal Phelps got his seventh gold(at this time, he would have gotten his eighth), and I think it's damn imba lah! He was lagging at fourth place during the first lap, then the second lap he chiong-ed like mad to beat his rival by 0.01 second. The cameras needed to zoom in real close to see whose fingers touched the finish line first. Micheal Phelps' totally imba! And I hate to be the person who got second place. Haha. xD

I left for OSchool after 12 and arrived late for Daniel's...Oops, scrap that Ryan's Open Class. I really really really really like his teaching style. He's a damn good teacher, and he's damn funny. He made us do warm-ups for 40 minutes out of the 1 hour, and then only he moved on to choreo. His warm-ups are totally killers man, and also totally modern style, meaning that he made us do extreme strecthing. Somehow, he managed to finish teaching his choreo within 20 minutes and everyone can catch up, which is a rare sight. No offence to Daniel, but I think that Ryan's better at teaching. But that's because he has been teaching far much earlier than Daniel.

After the class, Diana, Nik, Brian and me went to Subway to eat. Met Freddie on the way there. We were just talking and stoning basically. But the talk was quite interesting, like Freddie's "gang fight". Haha. As I was sitting there, I was thinking to myself that the dream team that I had imagined was almost present at that very moment, short of only Ie-Ching and Hui Xian. Then I realized, sadly, that the dream team would never come true because Freddie, Hui Xian, and Brian already have their own crew anyway. Oh well.

We left Subway after depriving ppl of whatever few seats left talking for one hour plus. We met Ie-Ching and her friend, Gina, outside of OSchool. Ie-Ching introduced us to Gina, and the sickest part is that Ie-Ching was purposely pronouncing Gina's name as GI-NA (as in VA-GI-NA). Ironically, Gina was wearing a shirt that says "hot as FCUK" (no, really, it's a shirt by French Connection United Kingdom). We then joked around as though we've been friends for ages.

That's the thing that I like about my OSchool dancemates. Gina, Freddie, Ie-Ching, Brian, Nik, Shermaine, and Diana. They are a bunch of fun ppl to talk to and jus have fun. Sometimes, they make me love Saturdays! Like what Diana said, though we only know each other for a few months, and we only see each other on Saturdays, but we could bond with other so fast, and this amazes me.

Anyway, we returned to OSchool for our Hip Hop 3 course! Since Daniel is away, Ann Ann took over him. While waiting outside the white studio for the class to start, I actually managed to finish mugging Math.

The class started and at first, Wang Yi couldn't get what Ann Ann was doing. I turned to him and said: "Eh, what's wrong with you today?". Opps, BIG MISTAKE! Not long after that, I also can't get what Ann Ann was teaching. Be it due to the mugging earlier or tired from Ryan's Open Class, I couldn't "get" the steps. And I don't like Ann Ann's style, and it's not her fault. Probaly I am not used to watching her dance. But the main thing is Wang Yi and me looked like some retard doing the hip-thrust thing.

After that, Wang Yi went to date or whatever. Haha. Joking joking (shit, I'm becoming Jia Yun) I went to have dinner with Nik then went back to boarding school.

Sunday: The Audition Day!
I was quite excited today when I woke up. And yes, I mugged Math again. Must be fully prepared mah. Anyway, reached OSchool for the Recital Auditions around 1.30pm. Let me taell you, the amount of ppl there is totally crazy lah! Just for Hip Hop, there were over 150 ppl signed up! Crazy right?

And I feel thankful that I have practised the "C-walk" that I learnt from Teck Kian before. The choreo was two 8-beats, but the two 8-beats was damn fast and full of intricate moves. Try combining hand waves, bounce and "C-walk". The result is the first four counts for the opening of the choreo. And they packed like 50+ ppl to each studio to learn the choreo. There wasn't even much space to dance properly.

Nik sums up the Hip Hop audition choreo nicely.

Although the routine was only two counts of eight, it was enough to distinguish the better dancers from the crowd. The first four counts were for finding the groove, the next four which completed the first eight would determine the L.A. people. The first four the the second eight would determine the lyrical dancers and the last four would be for the hip hop 1. Groove is classified as intermediate or hip hop 2. Simple classification, killer routine.

After jus 15 minutes, we were brought to the orange studio to audition.

They spilt the ppl into groups of 8 according to alphabetical order. Then each group get to audition twice. This is one of those times where I feel thankful that my name starts with W. Because of that, I was one of the last few groups to audition. Which means I have more time to practise. Even with practice, I screwed up at some parts during the audition itself! :0 I really feel like killing myself. Though some of my friends say I did ok, but I dunno whether I can get in to the Recital or not. I hope everyone (by that, I mean me and my dancemates) does.

After that, I went out of OSchool then decided to return there to watch Gina audition for Reggae. In my honest opinion, I think she did quite well for reggae. Afterthat, I left to meet my relatives at VivoCity to have dinner.

Dinner was at this expensive and luxurious restaurant called "Bosses". The food there was superb, I tell you. The whole dinner costs around $400+ bucks. My uncle graciously footed the bill using his credit card. (Thanks Uncle!) Afterthat, I went back to boarding school.

Math Lecture test is tomorrow, so I better get some rest. Audition results will be out on Tuesday. Till then, I'll keep my fingers crossed, for me, and my peeps.

Update

Ok, I wanted to update last night but ended up mugging for Econs test. I seriously find myself constantly finding free time for myself. I haven't danced in like 10+ days and I'm afraid that my form will deteriorate. These few days, all I do is mugging for Promos and finishing tutorials. I guess my fear of losing my scholarship has finally got to me. Now I'm becoming a full-time mugger.

There's a Math lecture test on the coming Monday, and it's on Integration and Differential Equations. I've only finished mugging Integration and I haven't even start on DIfferential Equations. Well, you still have the weekends to study right? Wrong. My weekends are basically gone. Hip Hop III starts tomorrow. And I think I'm going for Hip Hop I Open Class too, because Ryan will be teaching tomorrow (since Daniel is overseas at the moment). Woots! I finally have the chance to see Ryan in action! (Note: Ryan is the principal of Oschool, so he's very zai.) And on Sunday, there's the Oschool Recital Auditions from 2pm to 6pm. Frankly speaking, since I haven't danced for so many days, I dunno how am I going to pass the auditions, since there are also strong rivals from TPDE (Temasek Poly Dance Ensemble). Ah well.

Since my weekends are basically gone, I think I'll mug alot tonight. Shall start on Differential Equations later. And maybe I can mug tomorrow and Sunday morning too....

I just came back from PE studio. In the end, I've only danced for like, 15 minutes? The Malay Dance ppl wanted to use it for practise. Damn.

And the stupid Scholar's Meeting today only served to increase the amount of stress on me. This stupid scholarship thing is making me paranoid about whether I can do well for Promos and retain my scholarship. Now, no matter what I do, I don't feel good. I can't even relax without thinking about my scholarship. Fuck it. I just wish someone can find me a hole so that I can scream out all my anger and frustration into it.

Sorry guys for the sucky post today. I guess it's true that if you stopped blogging for a while, it takes a while to get back to blogging. I hope I can come up with better post next time.

"Kids Nowadays"

Ok, I know I haven't been updating my blog as frequently as I used to. Anyway, once again, I have tons of things to blog about because I haven't been updating frequently. So here goes...

Birthday Dinner @ Diana's
I was supposed to session with Nik, Diana and their gang on Saturday. But due to the urgency of Project Work, I decided to spent my afternoon editing Chapter 1 and 2 of Written Report and also Group Project Proposal. So in the end, I couldn't make it for the session. However, I didn't miss out on all the fun, because Diana invited me to her home for dinner.

When I got there (with a cab which costs 15bucks!), I realized that it was a birthday dinner-cum-celebration for one of Diana's friends -- Lydia. Nik, Wei Jie, and Erika was there. Got to know Ivan, Yu Lin and Lydia on the spot. After eating quite a lot, we still had alot of leftovers left, so we plan to stuff down all the food on the "lucky" winners of Zong Ji Mi Ma (The Secret Number) game.

Me, Nik and Lydia. This is me looking sian diao when I lost in the Zong Ji Mi Ma game.

Then we spent the remaining time hanging out and talking, watching videos and stuff. I'll let the pictures do the talking:

Me and more food.

Erika pretending to play the guitar. Haha.

This is Erika getting whacked after pretending to know how to play the guitar.

This is the rest of the gang. Ivan, Diana, Erika, Lydia, Wei Jie, Nik, Yu Lin and me. You guys can check out more pics at Dina's Blog. I am actually quite amazed by how a hobby of dancing can cause me to know so many ppl. Nik, Diana and Wei Jie are my OSchool peeps, and I only knew them at first. Then slowly, they introduced me to their friends and it keeps growing from there. Hopefully I get to know more ppl!

Oh yeah. And I realized during the dinner that girls are not as innocent as they seem to be. I wonder whether that's good or bad.... Hehe.

Next up...
08S6E Class outing @ Sentosa!
Phew! Today's class outing at Sentosa was quite fun! I actually think that the ppl who were absent was missing out. The last few class outings was quite wack, but today's one was much more fun that the last few class outings.

Our class met up at Habourfront MRT at about 1pm (+ and - 30 minutes). Then we made our way to Sentosa by the express monorail. This is actually my 2nd time going to Sentosa in my entire life. Serious. Mr Shyam also joined us for our class outing today.

We went to Siloso beach and found a spot to put our things. Throughout the day, we played quite a few games such as touch rugby, beach soccer (is there even such a thing?), dodgeball, frisbee and etc. Of course, what's the use of going to Sentosa without hitting the beach right? We actually played "monkey" and frisbee in the water! And some of the guys actually tried to bond me -- a few times! What the shit. ("Bond" means trying to strip someone in this context) Oh yeah, and water wrestling too. This is seriously one of the rare times that all the stress of my life seem to just vanish and I can just have fun.

I will post up the pics once I got hold of them from Jon Quek. This is also one of those rare times that Valerie is not the one that's cam-whoring taking photographs of our class. Hehe. Too bad she had an injury and got to stay at home. In the meanwhile, she says she spent the day editing the almost complete draft of our WR. Go Valerie!

We left Sentosa around 6pm. On the monorial back to mainland Singapore, me and Bing Yeow was making fun of Mr Shyam (again). Then Mr Shyam went on to say this:

"Kids Nowadays"
Throughout my entire life, I dunno how times I have heard this phrase. There's a saying that goes "If I get a penny everytime I hear that, I would be a millionare by now." Oh yeah? If I get a piece of crap everytime I hear that, the whole world would be covered by it. You have no idea how many times I heard that throughout the past week.

You see, adults seem to think that kids nowdays are being childish, arrogant, playful, indifferent, disrespectful, *insert your adjective of choice* etc. The point here is that, this is totally a form of stereotyping. Let me give you an example: a teenager like to eat shit from a toilet bowl(err, for reasons that escape me. I'm just making this up), then an adult would go "kids nowsdays like to eat shit". Now tell me, does that sounds right? (No, i'm not referring to the part of eating shit). An adult goes on to stereotype teenagers based on the actions of an individual.

There's also another notion that angers me. Many adults seem to think that teenagers nowadays do not have stress or maybe, do not have brains or something. When adults see children/teenagers playing games, indulging in hobbies, or just slacking, they would go "When I was your time, I never had this luxury. I used to study hard or working or (the list goes on...)" Many adults think teenagers now have lesser stress compared to them during their time. But let me make this clear: teenagers nowadays have different type of stress and different ways of destressing.

In fact, I could say that the stress teenagers face now would be more than what the adults used to face in their teenage years. Last time, teenagers were expected to finish high school; now, teenagers are expected to complete university. Previously, teenagers destress by playing board games/sports; now, teenagers destress by playing computer/console games, or pursuing their passions/hobbies. See my point? So the next time I hear someone saying "kids nowadays", I would advise that person to re-evaluate. unless that person is marking your GP paper. Damn.

And the last point is that, when adults say "kids nowadays", they have forgotten that they used to be kids and teenagers too. Also, they are their parent's kids. I find it funny that some adults like to dress up and act youthful, and then say things like "kids nowadays" to show how "matured" they are compared to youths. Oh, the irony.

The coming week
Ok, I haven't been practising dance at all for like more than one week. And OSchool Recital Auditions are on this coming Sunday. Shit. I really need to practise in this week. Hip Hop 3 is also starting this Saturday.

There's an Econs test on Friday and also Math Lcture Test on next Monday. I need to prepare for them also. This totally sucks because my studies and passion clashed in a most unexpected way. it couldn't get any worse than this. This week is set to be busy. Which means I would have no time for myself at all.

Oh, and the meeting with MOE on tuesday evening.

I guess I gotta go off and start planning my schedule for this week.

Till then, when someone says "Kid nowadays", tell that person straight in the face that "you are a momma's boy/girl too".

Back

I am back!!!!! I didn't have the chance to blog for the past few days, and I have lots of things to update on, so this will probably be a long post. Besides, my hands are itching to blog. Since there's so much to post about the past few days, I decided not to blog about them anyway.


After reading Yew Wei's blog, I felt like a freaking retard because I've never thought of using sub-headings. Instead of splitting my posts into a few posts, I decided to use sub-headings instead. So you guys can just scroll down to the specific sub-headings that concerns/interests you. Now that's settled, let's move on...


National Day Concert
Today was quite an enjoyable day. Since tomorrow is Singapore's National Day, our school held a concert in the hall, which is the tradition adhered to every year. The four facs (Ares, Artemis, Athena, and Apollo. To my non-HCI readers) are supposed to put up a cheerleading-cum-performance. I enjoyed the Ares performance because I think their choreography was quite fresh. And I also got to congratulate the Athenian BBoys (Si Quan, Jon Neo, Tse Young, and Chuan Khim) for coming up with a very excellent idea for the performance. Chuan Khim held onto Si Quan while Jon Neo held him in mid-air, then Tse Young went to strip Chuan Khim's shirt -- to reveal a shirt resembling the Singapore's flag. I went 'WOW!' when I saw that.


Another part I find interesting is that the choir ensemble went up on stage to sing the propaganda nursery rhymesNational Day songs. I seriously think this year's National Day song sucks compared to the older ones. But I still enjoyed the old National Day songs, such as "Home" and "We Will Get There", because of their nice lyrics and no mention of the word 'Singapore'. Some ppl from our class actually stood up to form a circle and sang along, me included. The ironic part is that more than half of the ppl in the circle are foreigners. Talk about national loyalty.


Throughout the concert, I found myself wondering whether I am actually turning into a Singaporean or something. I wonder why I've bothered to sing along the National Day songs. Is it because of the Singaporean propaganda that was rubbing off on me? Or is it the nice melody/lyrics of the songs that made me wanna sing along? Actually, I am quite uncertain of the answer myself. But if it's the former, I'd better start washing the propaganda off me before I actually sign up for Singapore citizenship.


True, Singapore have its good side. Low crime rates, safe environment, fledging economy, better employment opportunities, good education system. But it also has its bad side. A too-authoritarian government, "edible" food, shy-high inflation, 7% GST, propagandas, expensive housing, NS, etc... I'm not saying Malaysia is better here (trust me, in some cases, Malaysia is worse off), I just wanna make clear the pros and cons of Singapore to myself.


GEMs: Ice Skating
After the National Day concert, my class went for GEMs. We chose ice skating as our GEMs. During some parts of the activity, I think that our class is bonding. Mr Shyam, our GP teacher, and Mrs Koh, our form teacher, also came along. Of course, ice skating is a perfect opportunity for some ppl to get their chance at "chasing" girls. Heck, even TEH got himself a mate. I feel like jumping off the building in self-pity when I saw him holding a girl's hand, because I can't believe a girl would be so blind as to be his girlfriend. Heck, I wouldn't even go near him because of the copious amount of dandruff on his hair. He reminds me of an out-of-place Christmas tree, because if he shakes his head, the whole world will be in a blizzard. That's how bad his hair is.

Anyway, another entertainment hightlight is of course Mr Shyam himself. He may be a national world record holder when it comes to hurdles, but he had never skate before -- until today. When I asked him whether he ice-skated before and he replied 'no', I couldn't help but grin. He saw the grin and jokingly reminded me that he was the one marking my GP paper, but I still think continued grinning in anticipation of watching him skate. He stepped onto the ring and he have trouble even going one round around the ring. He fell down a few times and OH, THE JOY! Haha. Joking joking. Anyway, I helped him to reach the safety of concrete ground after openly laughing at him watching him fall.

All that I typed above are meant for entertainment. I'm sure Mr Shyam wouldn't mind. Anyway, Mr Shyam, if you're reading this, pls take note that I'm NOT Wilfred. Heh.

And I realized that Bing Yeow is quite good at ice-skating and Yu Wei is a fast learner. And throughout the whole 4-hours, I am reminded of how I used to skate with my ex-girlfriend. Not that I still miss her, but good times are meant to be remembered.

I will post the pictures of the ice skating soon when I get hold of them.

Next.....

Dancing and The Felix Session
C'mon, you'd really expect me ending my post without talking about dance at all?

I got the opportunity to join the MAD BBoys in their weekly lessons with their instructor, Felix, from Radikal Forze, arguably the best BBoy crew in Singapore. It was my first time crashing in on their lesson, since some of the bboys asked me along. Felix is easily a charismatic and formidable figure. He is friendly and down-to-earth, but yet he is so good at bboying that I have no words to decribe my respect for him. It was my first time seeing a legendary bboy figure up close.

He taught us swipes and swipes-related moves. I couldn't bloody get the freaking swipes and my leg was freaking sore. But then again, only some of the bboys knew how to do swipes. Also, Wilson and Teck Kian helped me to get headstands. I also asked Felix for advice, and he emphasizes that I should have a strong foundation before going on to powers.

Anyway, I didn't dance at all for the like 5/6 days already, because I don't have the opportunity to. And OSchool is closed tomorrow, so that means no lessons. Urgh. Sian. I guess I should go to PE studio tomorrow or maybe go session with Nik, Diana and some of the other OSchoolers..... or maybe the MAD bboys. But before I go practise tomorrow, I should take care of my-

Studies
Despite the tiredness, I managed to finish editing the GPP. I should start editing the Written Report tomorrow morning before going to dance. Since this is a long weekend, I should also seriously start revising for Promos. Besides, I've finished most of the tutorials already (yes, I have finished Alkanes tutorial). I should start on Monopolistic Competition tutorial tomorrow too. Oh yeah, I should be getting my warning letter from MOE soon.

Miscellaneous
I know this blogskin is not the nicest blog skin, and some ppl don't like it. I will find a good blogskin and hopefully get someone to edit it for me (I'm seriously a dumbass when it comes to HTML).

Class outing to Sentosa is on Monday. I'm kinda looking forward to it.

It's getting late, and this post is getting very long. Shall stop here for now.

Till then -- See ya!

Bored

Just changed my previous Blogger template into.......... another Blogger template. I know nuts when it comes to personalizing my own template, and it's kinda troublesome. But these Blogger templates are getting boring. I wonder why the Blogger admin doesn't create more templates instead spending time marking other ppl's blog as spam.

Today is quite a boring day. Spent my afternoon reading other ppl's blog, reading up on Chemical Thermodynamics, and sleeping. I'm going to continue mugging for Chem test later.... sianzzzzzzzz......

I don't think I'll have the opportunity to blog for the next few days. Probably will blog on Friday, since there's a class outing and GEMS on Friday, after National Day celebration. Our GEMS is ice-skating, which is something that isn't new for me. I wonder whether I can still skate as well as I had the last time. And this weekend is a National Day holiday, which means there will be no dance classes at OSchool this week.T.T. I was looking forward to go for another open class. Damn it.

And I realize you can see how much depth of thought a person has by just reading their blogs. You see, when I started blogging, I thought blogs are for ppl to talk about themselves and also their views. You know, having intellectual debates, sharing views on controversial subjects, talking about their passion, that's what I pictured blogging to be. But after blogging for 2months+, I realize that what I've said above is not true. Not everyone blog about their intellectual views and stuff. But you can really see how much intellectual depth a person has by just reading thier posts. I've read some ppl's blogs that are filled with intellectual stuff and I enjoy reading them. But I sometimes enjoy fun and cool stuff that ppl posts on their blogs too.

I guess I gotta go and study Chem. Ciao.

Time is an ocean

Expect this to be a long post, because these 2 days have been 2 long days. But first up, to all of the O School dancers out there, feast your eyes on THIS:

The event that I've been waiting for is finally here. The O School Auditions! I actually signed up for 3 genres: Hip Hop, Lyrical Hip Hop and B-boy. Yes, I know my B-Boy is not good yet, that's why I'm planning to train hard for the auditions. =) Anyway, it doesn't hurt to try. Heh. But the only thing that sucks is that there's a Math lecture test on the next day. Talk about clashing... I guess I need to study before the weekends, since Hip Hop 3 starts on August 16, which is the day before the auditions.

Anyway, yesterday's Hip Hop Day in school was only okay for me. It's actually a PW trial by some of the groups in school. They had B-Boying, Deejaying, Graffiti, and Emceeing. Actually, I think the turnout was kinda small because I thought more ppl would come. The bboy battles/cypher was not bad, and I finally get to see some of the ppl in action. Like Hong Liang, Edwin and Jon Neo. Actually, I see some improvement in some ppl, but I also see some ppl deproved or remain stagnant (I don't wanna name names). Probably no time to practise I guess.

However, I think the emcees are quite lousy. But there's a special guest-rapper, nicknamed "Bless". His rapping is dope man. The lyrics just come out of his mouth so fluently and the lyrics are so meaningful. The DJ was okay I guess.

I went to practise dance with Tse Young after we had dinner. We practised from 7.30pm to about 10.30pm. It's the first time I practised so late at night. Though he lives next door to my room, we never really rpactised with each other. Yesterday was the first time we really practised together. Jin Xiang also dropped by and practised after a while. After practise, me and TY went to KAP for supper. Heh. :P

Today's Hip Hop I Open Class was freaking gay. I seriously think that Daniel is raising his standards for the class, even though it was supposed to be a beginner's class. But I'm not complaining, because harder means I got more things to learn. ;) He taught us quite a few locking moves today, whcih was rather surprising. Since I was late for the class, I had trouble keeping up. When the video is uploaded, I'm going to post it here and you guys can just laugh at me.

Then I went off to meet up with Valerie, Jun Kang, and William for PW. Today we went to have another interview with another counsellor from another home for juvenile delinquents. When we reached Muhammadiyah Welfare Home, we felt kinda sppoked out because the place was rather creepy. We spoke to Nisa, the counsellor, and we realized that the home was suitable for us to conduct our mini-trial (I hope). We'll see how it goes. This means more work for us -> Lesser time for ourselves.

Oh yeah, something funny happened during the interview. After stoning for 20minutes in silence, the first question that came out of Jun Kang was: "Where is the toilet?" We burst out laughing like mad. I was laughing my balls off so hard that it took a while to return to my formal composure. We left the place after interviewing Nisa for 2 hours.

Then we had dinner at Plaza Singapura's burger King. We discussed alot about our project and we decided to continue with a mini-trial. Had a good chat with William afterwards, and we were talking about how lucky our group is. We came to the conclusion that Miss Ong, our previous GP/PW teacher, decided to form the PW groups by choosing the members from different social groups. That's why you get groups like Yew Wei, Ningxin, En Hao, and two more ppl I can't recall now. I'm quite thankful for my PW group because my group is seriously the most enthu group in our class. We get things done properly.

And William was saying how Mr Shyam, our current GP/PW tutor, is as good as Miss Ong. He said something that struck me:"Wilfred, can you remember how Miss Ong teaches? Because I can't" I realize that Miss Ong has left us for 3 months already. Again, time flies. 3 months passed by just like that. It seemed to me that Miss Ong's farewell party was only like yesterday. So many things has happened within this 3 months, that I felt as though time passed by like a blink of an eye.

Not too long ago, block tests were around the corner. Now, the Promos are looming over us. I bet not too long after, it would be the end of Promos, and I would be dancing away happily in the PE studio and practising for OSchool Recital (I hope). Tick tock, tick tock. Time is ticking away too fast.... That's why we should grab hold of our oppartunities and make good use of our time, because we never know when we will be gone.

They say time flows like a river, but they are wrong. I have seen more. Time...... is an ocean.
