wow, i guess my blog is SUPER dead, but anyway, i am here to revive it. (:

13th Student Leaders Convention, or simply in short, 13th SLC, is over in just a mere 4 days. it's really a heartache to see it pass so quickly, and that all these meetings and plannings and working sessions are gone. we've all worked so hard together, for the past 5 months or so, and we are all glad that it was a success. not only the convention itself was a success, but the friendship bonds between us, the OT, were successful of course. it was really a pleasant scene, to see everyone in the auditorium standing, jumping, cheering, singing, clapping, dancing etc. during the grand finale. well, it was a bomb! i loved the montage oh-so-much, and it was when we watched the montage, most of us in the OT broke down, maybe even some facs broke down too. it was a really wonderful experience i can say, that i will always remember, for the rest of my life.

i'll remember the OT, concept, programmes, logistics, admin trio, the advisors, the facilitators, the participants, the teachers and all that happened throughout the convention itself. i'll remember the many nights we had our meetings, the many nights when we were rushing out work, the days when we meet at hci to move and carry things, to set up this, set up that, nametagging, sorting out certificates, organising and clearing the ops room, learning and practising the ot performance, and of course the days when we had outings. all these are simply unforgettable, especially the times spent with the ot, fellow dead trees, and at the "concert" of the 'all-round genius' kwan jinyao.

i love logistics team, aka dead trees just too much: mark hee(i/c), haojie, sherwin, mel, rachel, becca, weishan, celine, jinghan, and our dearest advisors jinyao, junhao and victor. they have left a mark on my heart, making me remember them for life. thank you wonderful teammates. (: thank you all for carving all these wonderful memories into my heart, and making my life especially fantastic during the past 5 months, and the months and years to come. i am sure we'll still meet up often, to chat, play, stone together again, and think back the times and moments we had together during slc. :D

I LOVE 13TH SLC OT AND DEAD TREES SO MUCH!

term one is already over for 3 weeks. i seriously missed that term, but i am also enjoying this term right now. well, now my new table mate is CHEW HANYU! actually, she's not supposed to be my table mate. she was supposed to be sitting in front of me, but eventually, she just changed place and miss quek allowed it. i think i'll soon go deaf sitting beside her, provided with her oh-so loud voice. she's rather messy too, her stack of notes and worksheets is equivalent to mount everest, according to her. but she'll soon become neater after sitting with me.(: i should say sitting beside her is really crappy, plus sandra and fiona sitting next to us on the right. they sing most of the time, and ended up to influence hanyu and i to sing, and all four of us sang. well, there are definitely more things that happened, but i shall conclude after this term.

i am starting to love 3purity lots! (:
i love 2hope06 lots too! <3

it's officially end of week 9 and it is marked by the PMB camp! HILARIOUS CAMP. i loved the part when andrea, marilyn and i all slept at 3. i guess we're sort of one of the latest ones to sleep. we were sleeping in the drama studio, and the lights were still on at 3. so we started taking photos and we seriously made loads of noise. i think we accidentally woke andrea's mentor up too. :/ there was marilyn's dolphin given by someone, which was involved in making the noise. we kept hitting each other with the dolphin, well when it's supposed to be a 'kiss'?

okay, let me start describing the camp a tinny bit. i thought it was overall quite well done by pexco. we gathered in the school canteen at 7pm, getting ready for dinner. while waiting, we planned on what we were going to do for pmb idol too! i was in group 2, and i thought we were rather dead and we seriously didn't know what song to use because we didn't know how to sing the whole song. moving on, after having our dinner, prefects moved to the mpr and monitors moved to the drama studio. we had a brief review of the prefectorial board at the mpr, well basically voicing out our comments and thoughts of the board so far, like what is not good and what is the area that needs to be improved. so we mainly discussed about issues that were bothering the prefects, what were the problems and challenges we faced. shortly after the meeting, we went to the drama studio to get ready for PMB IDOL.

i should say that was really so comical, as in for our group. we finally decided to do on Pump It. our group seriously didn't know how to sing, so we decided to just dance. we choreographed the dance and we danced only till like 30 over seconds. i liked the part when abby and i did the so-called 'breakdancing'. we were trying to do what those professional break dancers always do. in the end we just ended up running in circles but we could do a bit of breakdance. so it was a short performance from our group, i thought it was rather lousy compared to other groups. well, it was so impromptu. yeah, so our group didn't win, it was lynn's group, group 3 i think, who won and they did 'Buttons'. lynn was the lead dancer and she danced super sexy! HA. but yeah, it was really good. so after this PMB idol thing, we had MOVIE MARATHON.

MOVIE MARATHON. sounds interesting, but we ended up just watching 1 movie because we have to stop and sleep by 1.30am. but this is supposedly to be a movie marathon! anyway, andrea, marilyn and i didn't sleep at 1.30am as i said just now. we were busy talking about all sorts of things, at the new specs stand then later outside drama studio. i should say that it was really fun to be talking to them all the time! practically when there's free time, i'll just gather with them, sometimes with huimin, to talk about things. I LOVE TALKING IN GOSSIP GANG. <3

well, next day we started off with games, and it was dirty. with all mud and gel mixed with plasticine and soap water splashed and wiped all over us. gross. but it was really fun. i think it was because of yesterday's chatting, that i only had 3 hours of sleep, i was really tired after the games. so after the games, everyone went to bathe, but i just changed my shirt only, and i stinked throughout, but still not till that extreme extend. there was this balloon structure thing at the mpr2, where we have to use balloons and strings to form a structure which represents the pmb. and after that we had lunch, and after lunch, we had discussions in our different teams of the 2 different boards. after the discussions, we had a presentation of the discussions we had just now, like what problems were we facing, and what do we suggest to do to them. and after teh presentation, it was prize presentation. i was really surprised when they said group2 won the coolest group award. but it was rather stupid, they gave us all chilli sauces. anyway, after the camp, andrea, marilyn and i went to the canteen to have teabreak and i cabbed home.

although this camp sounds a little boring, i still love it. because of the times when the 3 of us come together and talk! <3

well, it seemed so fast, term 1 is ending soon, in 2 weeks time? and of course, chinese new year will soon be over too. i'll miss all the new year goodies, though they are rather unhealthy.

after one term in a totally different class, different learning environment(because of many smarties around me), different way of learning, i would say that EC is really quite interesting. not many tests, just that there will be more assignments, and i get to sit beside someone who's really smart, and china scholars around me. i didn't have a good impression of china scholars at first, thinking they're rather weird, but no offence. however, after communicating with them for one term, i think that they are very friendly, and they can really dance(well, i know this after their chinese new year performance). there's one china scholar sitting behind me, named yiding, she's really nice, and she's filthy rich. she has six thousand dollars in her savings account. she said that her father has a rich friend who doesn't have a daughter. i guess after she said that, it's understood. well, now i am glad that i am in EC, although i have to leave Hope, and i am getting used to EC now. actually i realised that all those smarties are not really nerds or bookworms, they are exactly like us in fact. except some are SCANDALOUS.

this year seems to be tighter than last year, maybe because i've taken up several positions which holds more responsibilities. sec1 counsellor, sec3 prefect level co, artistic gymnastics vice captain, blue house vice captain and SLC organising committee. it would seem that i am very busy, like what huimin says, in fact i like it. i don't feel stressed up or anything, and i find that these are really fun, and without these, i would feel empty. besides, i do not have much tests now, so i would have a little more time for these.

mini investiture is in 2 days time, and we've not finished learning the dance yet. will we be able to make it? i seriously just hope that everything will turn out to be fine on thursday. well, i think that actually everything is too rush. don't you think so?

i feel that i don't belong within anymore, or is it just that i am thinking too much? someone tell me the answer, please.

people kept complaining that i haven't been updating my blog, so that's exactly i am going to do now meizhen, yilin and jasmine (my sweetest mentor, she is my sweetest mentor because she's the only mentor i have, hehehe.)

school had already started 2 weeks ago, and i guess everything is going well. i loved the first week of school, i skipped most and in fact almost all the lessons. i was involved in the sec one orientation programme. (: it was rather nice to be part of it, flashing back my sec one memories occassionally. to think that i was exactly like the sec ones i see right now, i just feel like laughing. they are simply just so cute alright. after a week of bonding time with one justice, they actually said they missed us (the counsellors). i was glad that they actually came to visit me at my class, well at least some of them, and they said they missed me! i do miss them too, actually. (: ONE JUSTICE 07 JUST SIMPLY ROCKS!(:

well, i'll just simply outline the programme we had last week. first day, we just got to know the sec ones, and so the activities were not so fun, YET. we had some icebreakers, and after which we all went home. and the next day, which was a thursday, was talent discovery for them. one justice's schedule was after recess, and so peiyun and i brought them around, while the sec4s had lessons or some talk. and that was when, when i got to know some of them and their names. the first person i knew was PATRICK, well okay her name was patricia, but she called me weiwei, so i called her patrick. :D and yes, some of their talents were discovered. and after the talent discovery they went home, and got ready for the next day's EXCITING CAMP.

the camp started off with icebreakers, and i remembered we played quite a few games, like double whacko, which we all sabo-ed estee. HEE. carry on, we had a short debrief, and we went for recess. one justice had recess as a class and i treated them cookies, and the counsellors treated the class with ribena. (: and then, we had CLASS BONDING TIME. we came up with class cheers, and a finale cheer for the campfire. after which they went for lunch, and after lunch, they went to have some exciting games! well, not really that exciting, but it's was still enjoyable and it was super tiring. even we as counsellors were already tired out. :/ well, after the games was bathing time, which the sec ones only had like half an hour to bathe. counsellors didn't bathe, and so we went for dinner with our stinky self, and carried on with the campfire. campfire was quite okay, but the emcees were rather not clear in speaking and our class didn't really participate in it. but it became better when it started to drizzle a little, and we moved to the forum. well, we sang and we danced, and presented our finale cheers, and had some prize giving, and then it was supper when they eat "tangyuan" which was actually "muahchee", but that's what we always do every year for the new sec ones. after that, they went to the hall to sleep, while the counsellors slept in the comfortable but dirty gym.

i wanted so much to sleep, but jasmine, estee, peiyun, janice and yangyang were all talking about ghost stories, which kind of sounded interesting to me, so i joined them. but i was too freaked out, i went to join delphine and yiling, and sleeping amanda. but i soon got tired so i went to sleep! (: to get ready for the next day's cca fair. i shall not talk about cca fair, as i think it is not really that interesting to talk about. so that's about it about the camp and programmes.

I LOVE SEC ONE JUSTICE 07, AND MY MENTOR JASMINE, PLUS ESTEE, PEIYUN, JANICE AND YANGYANG. (:
p.s. i never bully you loh jasmine! and don't worry estee, i'll talk to you and play with you(:

i went for sports camp the past two days. it was rather tiring, even though it was only two days one night. well, i helped in organising the whole camp, and this is sort of my first time having to organise the camp all by ourselves without any teachers' help. it was tough, and of course really tiring. but i thought it was a good experience, and i had a great time! (:

okay, the first day, we all reported at 8 in school at the drama studio. we had a general briefing from miss lim, and then we went off for training. well, training was as per normal. and we (tramp girls) were all hoping to be dismissed earlier, so that we can bathe first, and then the rest of agym girls can bathe. at least it's not so time-consuming. and yes! we were dismissed earlier, at 11.45 rather than 12. so we bathed first, and the rest of them joined us. some of us who were done bathing first discussed a bit about cca fair. there wasn't much to discuss though. especially when PEIQI wasn't around. we discussed about what we were going to do on the day itself, like the speech and the demonstration. and after that we went off for lunch. it was fried beehoon with sweet and sour fish. when we're all done for lunch, we went to the drama studio for more cca fair discussion, but since we didn't have anything to do, we just played around there.

it was 3.30 when miss lim came and started the strategic planning session1. we discussed about things going on in our various sports, and what was going on in the team. all of us got to voice out our feelings about seniors and juniors, in order to be able to solve all the misunderstandings and all. but i must say that agym didn't have much problems at all. (: i was glad, definitely. we also came out with the S.W.O.T thing. S.W.O.T stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. this helped us to work towards our goals.

after strat planning one, we went off to bathe and dinner. but since our team already bathed, we just went to the canteen and waited for the rest to join us. we played the name game while waiting for them. and it was really funny. : D and soon, the rest joined us and we started dinner, and after that we went back to the drama studio for strat planning 2. we set our goals during this session, both individual and team, and both attitude and achievements. miss tan and miss praveena helped us. oh and agym went to the dance studio to discuss. at 9.15, we played some games. the name game, but it soon got boring and we switched to whacko. we used celebrity names, and i was BRAD PITT. (: it was totally hilarious! and after all these games, we went down to the forum to have some miss choo farewell programmes. all ccas had their gifts and cards for miss choo, and we had a combined gift for miss choo too. after we were all dismissed, we went to wash up, and went to sleep, but captains and vice captains who were in charge of the next day's amazing race, had to stay up till 1 plus to discuss. we were so tired okay!

the MPR is so uncomfortable to sleep! it's cement floor! those that slept in the drama studio be glad. plus, it was so COLD in there. really hard to sleep. and we only slept for 4 hours. :/ i slept beside veron and tina, and i rolled here and there, trying to get into sleep. well, we woke up at 5.40, and it was super cold. so tina and i went to brush our teeth, and we stayed outside to eat some biscuits. (: then we went to the drama studio and got ready for breakfast, and after breakfast, we went to the forum for briefing for amazing race. and we all set off! i was stationed in school, and teams had to come to me to play a game sort of like bingo, and some pail game. and after amazing race, we assemble back at the drama studio, had debrief, and we're dismissed. (:

i went thompson plaza with my mom, bro and sis, because my sis had art class, and then i went home to sleep. from 5 plus to the next morning 9! total of 16 hours! i broke my own record. incredible eh? (:
