`+._ Just another day_.+`

Today started off with Maths lesson on a new topic.. Thank goodness I can still follow.. Next was dreaded PE.. I was still aching all over, the after effects of OAC handover PT. It was so tiring and painful to run on the track. Is it just me, or is the track harder to run than on the road. I guess it's just my phobia. I don't exactly have the most pleasant memories on the track. Haha. Well... There was a good part after the run =D We took height and weight, I lost weight and grew taller!! I am so happy. Haha.. I thought I put on weight instead. The PE teachers are starting to prepare us for our Nagfa test coming up soon.. I hope I can score full 30 points.. That's my goal. Well, lessons went on as smoothly, kind of. I drank in Miss Ng's class and got a polite telling off. I really don't like those kind of telling offs.. It made me feel really bad that I did not think about what she said myself. Oh well.. I won't drink in class again.. Repentence.. I always wonder why I feel so bad about some little things when others would just simply not care at all. The information goes in from one ear and comes out from the other. Well, I guess it's good to know that you are in the wrong.. But it doesn't help how I felt. Okay... I have stuff to settle and am going to get started on them before it gets collected up into a mountainous pile.

Ciaos~

`+._ The dreaded results.. _.+`

Now's the sad part.. my results... Gosh... These results are one of the worst I've ever received.. Something that I feel I have to get accustomed to in TJC for the first few terms. Guess what? The play I practiced so hard for... didn't turn out well. My group marks got 9/25... atrocious.. Individual, 19/25... Not up to expectation either.. Best Actor was Sandy, and Best Actress was Jane =D Congrats to you both! Geography, thank goodness was not too bad, 32/40. But for some stange reason, I did not feel satisfied. What is wrong with me -.-? It's one of the highest in class already and I'm still not satisfied. Oh well... I'm just having a bad day I guess. We went back to Temasek Sec to 'promote' the Integrated Programme. Oddly enough, besides seeing my friends, I felt so so foreign in the school, as though the people there were putting on a show, being fake. It's just a feeling, maybe because I haven't been back in ages. Congrats to TAG! You guys rule.. sadly, I can't go back and join you guys for practice.. I really want to.. but don't have the time =( The minute I stepped back into TJC compound, I felt so much at home.. It was an awesome feeling. I love TJC now, no matter how stressful it is and how busy it makes me. Then it was doom time.. LA (English and Lit) results.. We piled into LT1 and awaited our fates. I failed my essay, 23/50, but luckily, passed my comprehension, 28/50. Overall, thank good fortune, that I passed.. 51/100 -.-.. Pathetic I know, but.. at least I didn't fail.. Gosh, only about 10% passed the essay.. Well.. I have to study harded, and I feel so happy now that at least I can understand Maths.. I think I'm gonna need some help still though.. I wonder whether my seniors will have time to help me =S But they themselves are so busy, 'bu4 hao3 yi4 si4' to ask them. I'll live. =P So.. that's it for today.. Let's just say no matter how tough OAC trainings are, I always look forward to every single meeting.

Cheerios for now~

The OAC Handover

After 6 months of blood, sweat and tears, it was finally time for the OAC handover. The times we have quarrelled with each other, encouraged each other, seek comfort in each other, worked together, had fun together, learned together and supported each other, all came down to this day.

I couldn't imagine what the seniors would first want us to accomplish before the handover. In time, I found out. It was the toughest training I ever had. The day started off with running the titans route twice, with 7kg backpack, the guys had to carry 12kg. That means it's about 10km. It was an individual run, which meant that there was no one to encourage me and push me on. In all my life, I had never once pushed my physical limits and it was only with the help of my teammates and the seniors that I can achieve the physical standard that I have now. Initially, I did not know that we were required to run the route twice, I only thought we had to do it once. Then, my goal was to jog the 5km Titan’s route without stopping. That would be my first time doing so. I told myself, 'if you stop, then you are quitting' I did not want to quit. Therefore, no matter how tired I was, I pushed on, and managed to do so faster than I have done before. However, when I realized that that was not the end of the run, I felt so puzzled and let down. I literally had to force myself to keep on jogging. I just kept telling myself that for this run, what mattered to me was not the speed in which I was able to complete it, however, it was the endurance in which I subjected myself to without stopping. I myself knew that I was jogging extremely slowly, I wanted to speed up, but then I failed myself by not being able to do so. That was one part I was extremely disappointed in myself. I promise myself that I would persevere on and with a faster speed next time. To improve oneself for the betterment of the team. That's our motto.

I love my teammates to bits now. They are my extended family in which I feel I have 12 older brothers and sisters who will watch out for me. That kind of a feeling is like none other. It's the kind of warm feeling you get that you belong. At the last part of the run, when I slowly met up with all my team mates and they ran the last lap with me, I felt energized and with them running with me, I had the kind of feeling that they would support me and encourage me in any situation. I'm just following my intuition, and I definitely hope it's right =).

After the run, when we gathered at the tool shed, Alex wanted to talk to the team. He wanted to quit OAC because of the problems he was facing. We all talked to him for a while and let him make his decision. I'm so glad he was strong enough to chose to stay for I couldn't bear it if any member was to quit the team now. We are a family! The phrase 'We've got your back' is there. However, there definitely are times when we quarrel and disagree. Well, if we didn’t, then that would be a little too unrealistic.

Next, was 3 times of the log obstacle, carrying our backpacks and the 90kg log. I was so fatigue but everyone was working so hard, so I did the best I could as well. Those are one of the times when all of us are panicking to reach the time limit that we start shouting at each other to communicate. With everyone worn out by the 10km run, our tempers were running short and we were easily irritated. However, seeing the guys work so hard to carry the log while running from destination to destination, it really made me have the will to put in all my effort to help lighten the load or take more load so that we could complete the obstacles faster. Time was essential during log obstacle, therefore, everyone worked very hard together, and even though we were rather short tempered, we still gave it our best attempt. I felt a surge of pride for Kimberly, Samantha and Yin Wei who continued to persevere even though they had injuries. That was truly showing the Oacian spirit.

Subsequently, it was time for camp craft. We were to build the structure 'suicide window'. That consisted of 4 square lashes, and 2 round lashes. We had to eat our standard lunch as well within that 1h20min. Sadly, we did not manage to complete it even though given 10mins extension. Our punishment was to run the track within 2mins. We failed till the last round. We had to run 3 times. My goodness... I felt so faint, breathless and dizzy. I was so scared. Thanks to Kar Gea who made me compose myself. Well, we didn't manage to do the structure as well as planned, so... it was wash-up time then we headed back to the long jump area.

There is a track line there and we had to build a human pyramid. Wei Kheam, Wai Kit, Kai Sheng, Eng Wei and Li Yuan were at the bottom. Then the rest, I couldn't remember because we were all rushing to accomplish it within the given time. That was rather interesting, the lower height form of cheerleading, only difference, I was at the top of the pyramid instead of the back supporter. Next activity was the conveyer belt. Gosh.. that was.. er.. painful, yet oddly fun if you consider being squashed till you scream to be fun. Haha.. we were supposed to hold hands and roll towards the sand area. Two rows of six, one on top of the other, and roll without letting go of our hands. I was getting stomach cramps from all the shouting and laughing that went on. Eng Wei, Wei Kheam and Wai Kit were hilarious. I was in between Alex and Wai Kit and every time someone went over me, I felt so winded. Once we reached the sand area, I ate sand. *Shudder* Haha, all in all, it was rather fun, one of the weird team bonding games seniors make juniors do.

Then after the fun, we had to do push-ups. One push up for every letter, and one for each word completed. That was our hand over pledge. In total, that's about 161 push-ups. My hands and knees were so sore and numb from putting my weight on the roughness of the track.

I had to leave early for my dance class, however, no matter how tough the training had been, I always look forward to the next OAC training with zest and enthusiasm as no matter what toughness and hardship we have to go through, I know my team mates will be there for me always.

In the end, what I will come to cherish about OAC and benefit from OAC in the future is the strong bond of friendship formed between the team, being able to take the mental and physical toughness that I will definitely come across in life. OAC has not only taught me to be strong physically, but emotionally as well. I find that extremely important, a lesson than one cannot learn simply from reading a book. Besides that, the ‘dare-to-try’ spirit is of extremely vital when it comes to taking chances, for if you do not dare to try, you may never know what you are missing out on.

To my team mates, Samantha, Amanda, Yan Ling, Yin Wei, Kimberly, Li Yuan, Liesel, Wei Kheam, Eng Wei, Kai Sheng, Alex, Wai Kit, Thank you so much. You guys rock =D

`+._ I simply LOVE dance =D _.+`

This has been a great day! (ooh.. I just got a deja vu) We went to Raffles Town Country Club for lunch to celebrate my grandfather's belated birthday as well as father's day. I got to meet up with my aunties uncles and cousins. Haven't seen them in quite a while~ My cousins are just so cute, haha.. Imagine I was like them before, only fatter when I was their age =P Then we headed to my dance school. It felt so good to be back! I missed the place and my teachers for 3 weeks! I missed 10 lessons in total! 4 Hiphop, 3 Prepartorial Flamenco and 3 Premier Flamenco classes! It felt great to be dancing again, I missed it so so much! Haha, i got so lost in Premier class, it was rather embarrasing, luckily, Prepartorial class was still ok. But it was rather confusing as both grades dance's are rather similar, but Premier is a little harder. I got so confused which was which! Geez, I'm going to have to practice... Exams are in November! *yikes* Combining both hand, leg and castanets movements are so hard.. One part moves, the others doesn't, and the last part doesn't know what to do. Haha!!! After my class I watched my mum's company class. The performing group. *sigh* they dance so well! One day, my goal is to be able to be part of the company dance. I shall practice hard, hopefully in 1 - 3 years time, i will be ready =D It's so awesome, they are having a performance like those ballet's with storylines! It's in November and I can't wait for it!! I wish I got a chance to perform... I shall practice hard, i will!! And I've decided I need some ballet basics... Whether I have the time to take that up is another thing.. haha... so many things i want to do, but so little time... anyway... nothing much to say now.. so goodnight!~ oh ya... I've almost finished my LA homework, just one brochure and news report left! YES! Maths is a different case.. haha.. nights!~

`+._ hmwk day _.+`

geez... i spent the whole day doing Language Arts hmwk... oh well.. I had my fair share of holidays!
i also spent about an hour on my new skin, hope you guys find it interesting ^^ all comments are welcome!
The song is from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, an awesome musical I saw in London! =D

I'd just been blog reading, and I realized that most of my friends blogs seem to be so down, solem and upset. I wonder if it is a teenager thing. I guess we all do get down many a times in life, but for me, I try to look at the brighter side of things, although it may seem impossible, it is always better to be optimistic than pesimistic. Life is never easy, every family has it's own troubles, worries and problems. However, it is how you embrace your problems that makes the difference. Do not sigh about the things you do not have, instead, appreciate and enjoy the things you do have. You only get to live once, so live it to the fullest ^^After a hard day, instead of being moody and glum, cheer up and tell yourself, "hey, i've gotten through another day, it has been tough, but i made it!" and give yourself a pat on the back =) smile more as you never know what difference a smile can do to those around you. By smiling, you instantly brighten up the atmosphere and make people around you feel better. If you felt like you have done wrong and are dreading the next day, take the next day to be an opportunity to make things right instead of thinking, "oh no.. im so dead". Every little bit of optimism helps. There are many a times I go to bed with a heavy heart, be it the emotional sadness of things currently happening or being troubled with some matters, but the next day, I wake up and realize that it is not really that big of a deal, and my heart feels lighter once more. Some things like the death of a loved one would be extremely hard to enable one to be optimistic, but still, one can and should try. All i'm saying is that you should never let anything in life get you too down and depressed, it is unhealthy and would cause others who love and cherish you to be worried about you. Sometimes you feel as though no one cares about you, but in actual fact, someone does love you, your family, your friends, all care about you and cherish you. By smiling and being optimistic, you can light up your world and their world too.

Goodness.. I sound like some old woman talking about life.. haha, but seriously, life is too short to stay down in the dumps for too long. Live life! Embrace it! okay... now i sound like someone who is off the top. I shall stop here, before I start going on again, hope you guys will feel better soon ^^

`+._ Finally Updated_.+`

Phew, it has been a really tiring term 2 for me, with cheerleading, house com function, OAC and other stuff, my school work has suffered some negligence, studied hard for my tests though, hope that i did relatively well.

Well, Titans is over. I guess we all bonded really well together during Titans for some reason. No offence, but I was doing my best not for mainly Delta, but for OAC, to do OAC proud. Of course, I was also hoping to bring glory to Delta. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Hm.. My 5 individual events record is: 5km run 24th out of 32 ppl ; incline pull-ups zero (how pathetic) ; squat thrusts 50 in 3mins (yay, i beat my previous best) ; sit-ups 97 in 3 mins ; shuttle run... hm... don't remember, all i know that it wasn't good =( . Oh well... if I can take part next year, I shall train, hopefully to get into top 10. After that, we had a OAC get together session outside the dance studio, with all the pass batch OAC seniors, they were all behind us, wanting to listen to our opinions, aha, that was rather intimidating. All of us got so emotional. It's then that I'm so so so sure that as long as the 05/06 batch is around, I'm not quitting OAC. They are my extended family! =D hm... whether I'll stay in OAC for all 4 years... hard to say. I shall not remain in it if I can't get on well with the next batches.

I remember I cried because I couldn't join my J1 seniors for June Camp. *sob* I was... I don't really know how to put it in words, but, it was kind of like, I was afraid that if I didn't go for camp with them, they would move on experiencing something so tough, and I won't fit in anymore, then, there will be no reason to stay in OAC. And I do cherish all my seniors alot =) Well, felt bad also for enjoying myself while my teammates were going to suffer, and I spent the first few days in UK during the Humanities Trip thinking about what they were doing at that time. I'm just glad they are all ok ^^

Hm.. about the UK trip, it was really great, the sites we went to and everything we saw was just so exhilarating and refreshing. Maybe one day when I have time, I'll put together a UK trip journal with all my pictures in it =D Aha, IF I have time. Geez, I wonder when that will be. Just in a summary, we went to so many places like Salisbury, Dorset, Stonehenge, Wells, Oxford, Bath, Shrewsbury and London. I watched 6 shows in London, 2 with the school and 4 with my dad. They were simply AMAZING. I watched 'The Lion King' musical and Shakespeare's Play 'As you Like It' with my school. And the musicals 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang', 'The Phantom of the Opera', 'Mary Poppins' and the ballet 'Romeo and Juliet' with my dad. I loved Chitty best! I bought the soundtrack too! Haha, hey, what can I say, I still have a kid in me, don't we all? =D

The sad thing was that I missed Miss Lim's wedding. Congratulations Miss Lim! =D

Two days after I got back to Singapore, I went to Bintan with my Unick friends Zoe, Yuan Li, John, En Chou and Jun Ji. My mum and John's mum chaperoned us. Thank You! =D Well, I must say, I had high expectations for the trip and couldn't sleep till 4am in the morning. Sadly, I was rather disappointed at first, but things were looking up. The weather was wet on the first day, thankfully clearing up in the late afternoon. We couldn't check in until about 12pm+ Bintan time, and we reached at about 10am+. So we walked around. Once we got a room, 1129, we spend some time in there before heading to check out the Gym. Jun Ji, En Chou and I worked out for more than half an hour. I ran for 13 mins on the treadmill increasing the speed, then cycled 10 mins, 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups. The workout really felt good. We went back to the room and played cards if I didn't remember wrongly. Just being there with my friends made me feel lucky and happy. It has been ages since I've seen them and I really missed them so so much! I really loved their company. Haha, short, fat, ugly, sian dan, xiong dan bao and hm.. we didn't settle on a name for yuan! =P We went swimming and played um... is it called water polo? It's like a game in the pool 1.5m deep with two soccer like nets at the end. It was so so fun! haha, it was tiring though. At night, we played cards and watched TV.

The next day, we had breakfast, loitered in Yuan and Oe's room in the morning before taking a very bumpy 45min drive to a small 'town'. I felt so sick, motion sickness. Well, there's nothing like that town in Singapore. There was nothing there to see, so we asked the driver to bring us somewhere else. Thank Goodness the other place was much nicer. I bought a ring! =D I love it! ^^ Haha~ We went back after bringing back some food from the restaurant. Had little to eat, and waited for En to finish his show before we went to the Gym. No one else wanted to though =( We first ran on the Treadmill for more the 20 mins, then I did 50 push-ups without resting, of course having breaks in push-up position, haha, not that good to do 50 at one go. I wish.. When I got up, My arms were strained. Geez, I'm so out of shape! I know I put on weight in UK with all my food intake! The amount I ate there was rather large... Did those umm pull bar down with arm things? 10 of them for fun. We cycled for about 5 mins, and wanted to do jogging, but... the gym was closing. Oh well, went back, took a shower, had maggie and played cards again! =P I learnt how to play Taiti. =D We all planned to sleep in the same room that night since it was the last night. Oe and yuan fell asleep first. The rest of us couldn't sleep. So talked a little before John suggested going for a walk. Haha, midnight stroll. We walked to the Lobby. I was practically half blind as I forgot to bring my glasses (geez, I keep forgetting stuff these days, not a good sign) and already took off my contacts. It was okay though, haha~ There was really nothing to do, so we played checkers using the Giant Chess Set. After that we slid down the banister (almost lost my balance, it was fun!) Got back to the room, finally could sleep after a long while, sadly, only after John left to go back to his room as it was too squeezy to possibly fall asleep. I must say it was a fun time.

So... Today morning, the weather was GREAT! We couldn't wake early, except Yuan and Oe, who awoke at 7am! Haha, they went for a stroll at the beach, came back, and we were still sleeping. They went for breakfast, waited for more than an hour before we joined them. Thanks for waiting! Heh~ Lazed around in the room before we started going nuts, stealing pillows from each other, jumping on the bed, grabbing blankets and throwing over one another and piling on top of one another. Ha! We kinda turned the room into a pig-sty. Then we left for a swim. Had drinks at the pool bar, but sadly, didn't have enough time for a tan. Oh well =) Went back and washed up before having to leave Bintan... Let's just say, out of this whole trip, I basically loved being with my friends so much~ Wish we could get together more often, sadly, I doubt it's possible. The boat ride was making me giddy again too~ We played Taiti again on the boat, the ride was so long ans the boat went so slowly, oh well.. we couldn't do anything about it! Love you guys Unick! Anyway, it's late now, so... goodnight! =D
