A decision

I guess i am no longer in a position to influence the class to blog again, judging from the fact that i've not posted for such a long time. Judging from the number of times when i checked the class blog and decided, "fuck it, there is no point blogging".

Just want to say that i do have memories of three-four which i would rather keep despite everything and anything else. Like how this blog first existed because of a competition (I guess most class blogs are dead by now). Like how we first met. Like how i had faith in the class spirit. Like how i used to attend class outings with a 100% late record. Like how i would make fun of Mr. Koh, or be made fun of, when he presents his working on the board during his interesting lessons (Mr Koh, i promise to do all your assignments twice over if you can just return). Or how Mrs Koo would say, "I think nobody have done their assignments, so dont bother handing in". There are of course countless more of such memories. But the thing in common is that these things seem to be so trivial when you had them with you. To such an extent that it makes a cruel mockery out of you when you have finally realised its worth.

I miss the enthusiasm displayed in our class blog. Terribly, in fact. At least they were genuine, against the superficiality of recent posts. Or so as i perceive it to be. To the welfare authorities concerned: Not that a brand new class tee, triumph in the inter-class badminton competition or even a class outing would salvage the spirit anymore. Especially when the little spark we had created seemed like it all extinguished yesterday.

This much I have to say. Nitez.

yoYOyo

Ahhah, itchy rainy sunday afternoon........

Okies, we manage to contact the supplier for the T-shirt and he came down to HC to meet us, customer is king, mwhaha. Though he's not very charming, Qian and I still managed to have a rather fruitful session with him. He'll give us a sample of our shirt soon as well as a few sample sizes for us to test, so worry not, if you think you wrote down the wrong size, there's time to change. Good news girls, there's an XS size and our shirt is 100% cotton though in my opinion abit thin=P Ten working days, that's all he needs to produce our shirt=D

Next is inter class CT badminton. The reps. are me & zirui, jason & rachel, xing ying and 'vet'. We probably will be playing on thursday, so PLEASE come down and cheer us on after PE, or rather watch us win! Actually, our chances are not as high as I claimed days ago. After a dinner session with my team, I realise almost everyone is representing their classes. I also got news from recrea. that only about 10 teams signed up and that means almost every team has college players. Nevertheless, given our clear objective, united spirit and passion for badminton (atleast i think so;p), I am sure we can pull through with a lovely win in the end!

AHha, secret intelligence has informed me that there are so many visitors to our blog but very of them blogging. Yeah, you, I am talking about you, lazy guilty boys and girls reading my entry now. May I appeal to you to click that blogger button at the top left hand corner and start blogging something here. There are certainly many benefits.

Firstly, you will be moving you hands around the keyboard, promoting blood circulation. Heart rate will increase, your fingers muscles will be toned and it definitely impedes brain degeneration. It also allows you to take a break from those taxing computer games and reduces the amount of money spent on spectacles. This will thus ensure that your body will be more healthy and you'll lead a higher quality life.

Secondly, I believe that everyone here aspires to be fantastic GP writers. Yes this is an opportunity for the pro (esp. engliang) to flaunt their writing skills, while for the weaker ones like us to learn from the pro and practice more. More practice I believe will help improve your language and who knows, we might achieve a 100% A for GP at the end of next year.

THirdly, we may need to address certain things as a class and opinions may be required (though proven not really plausible so far, we can always try harder). Take for example the inter CT badminton, I'll definitely appreciate it if people can provide some winning strategies (e.g. asking jason to put on make up when he plays so that the opponents will be too hypnotised by his charm to play). Yes please post your thoughts here liberately.

AHha, that's all from me see everyone on monday!

ur @miable Wj.

YOyo 34,

Blocks are over, signifying the start of a term and not holidays unlike the past=(. I wish everyone a fruitful term 3 ahead. Results are already fixed, reality cannot be changed, create a better future.

Here's something for fun:

shopping + shopping = to shopping centre (sin + sin = 2 sin cos)
shopping - shopping = to close shop (sin - sin = 2 cos sin)
cash + cash = 2 credit cards (cos + cos = 2 cos cos)
cash - cash = need to start saving (cos - cos = -2 sin sin)

=D TAke care everyone.

class pic

Here's the picture that you all requested for. I kind of miss it i many ways.....

After some discussions over meal, here's some activities we organise to let our hair down for all you fun seeking enthusiast out there. Let's just go have some fun.

Wed, we'll head over to J8 after our CLAO to watch war of the worlds. It's time you all go somehwere better than the west and some say even ORchard....

Thus, we'll most likely stay back to have farewell dinner with MRs. Khoo. We'll be having it in school, calling in 933 curry bread and maybe pizzas!

Friday night, we most probably have a first movie marathon and stayover, let's have fun man. Details will be filled in at a later time.

There's still an ice skating pending.

That's just an update, enjoy your rather long week end

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

---Max Ehrmann, 1927

I wonder if I shared this with you all before, if I haven't here goes.

If...

I was shuffling through the old songs in the playlist when i came across this set of lyrics...

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip? - Eminem

A question which had never crossed my mind when i was blasting this song on my speaker two years ago. But two years later on a hushed night, these words creeped into my ears, and echoed through my mind, until it became so apparant.

I used to have it all craved out. I used to pave the path i will take, define my careers options, select the scholarships, choose the college courses and most importantly, know what i want.

Then i came HC.

Somehow i became disillusioned, completely uninterested in the subjects which i used to excel it. Okay, i didnt exactly excel in them in CHS, but at least i was in the process of learning, of acquiring knowledge in these field. Perhaps it was the crap lecture-tutorial system, or the poor bunch of teachers that we got. Or perhaps these are just excuses. Perhaps these subjects werent to my liking in the first place.

Hence the poor lecture attendance. The amount of undone tutorials. The number of times when i went to a test unprepared. Like how it is Maths Exam tommorow and i refused to study, or even rest properly. The poor attitude, in general.

Such was the impact of my actions and my state of mind that it gradually diminished everything which i have painstaking planned for, everything which i used to think i have a passion for. In another words, i have no longer an idea of what i desire for, and without a clue of that i would probably have to let the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip past me. Fuck it.

I realised that despite achieving a "marks per amount of effort" that others could only be jealous of, despite being labelled intelligent occasionally by my classmates, i have slipped into mediocracy. I m no longer what i used to be, or what i perceive i would become. I could not consider myself to be better or even equal as a person relative to ITE students (no insult here) who aspire to be hairdressers.

On a lighter note i found myself more inclined, and highly enthusiatic about acquiring econs knowledge. Not from HC notes or textbooks though.

But i m too tired now. I just need rest.
