My Fairytale Fantasy

Moving On

Hi everyone ^^ Sorry I haven't updated here for more than a month. I updated on my xanga site in February though. I hope you guys like the new layout of my homepage and this page, I spent 2 days re-doing it! Haha.. Anyway, life has been the roughest I have ever gone through recently, the decease of my Grandfather, the type of emotional control I had to establish and learn to live with, the disagreements between generations now that we are living under one roof for the time being. It is so suffocating. I know that there is more change in my life for me to come in the near future, I have a gut feeling about it. I just got to learn to accept it and face it. Recently in school, we have been studying a Literature book called, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Well, the book itself is very entertaining, however, it is also a very complex text. It makes me wonder whether the authors are purposely writing all those things to make us think so hard, or that they were simply innocently writing an imaginative story. Haha. The book discussed the Human Nature. Are we innately good or evil? Even I don't know about that myself. People show the part of them that they want the people around them to have an impression, an impression that that is who they are. But are they really? I'm quite sure we each know who are we, in a sense, who is our individual, but who is our self? There is a beast within every man that can explode out. It just relies on the situation and how the society one lives in shapes the person. Okay, enough of that. So far, I must say that the workload for us is quite heavy, I rarely have time to myself and come home late almost everyday, it's so tiring... Oh well.. Projects, tests, assignments, Geez. The amusing thing is, the teacher decided to be nice to us, therefore they postponed the test. And since all the teachers were kind, the tests are all at the last two weeks, haha. Anyway, we are having electives week now, and I'm studying Sci-fiction and fantasy. It rocks! Haha~ But it is freaky to know what our world would become like if robots took over the world. It is extremely daunting and disturbing. We watched Animatrix today. Gosh, it was so disturbing, using humans as a source of their power. *shudder* And so far all the fantasy and sci-fi movies Mr Tan has shown us all consists of war, killing, blood here and there, swords, shields, piercing the human skin. *ouch* I looked through my fingers for those scenes. Geez. I love Harry Potter so much more. At least when they kill, you are still whole. The Avada Kedavra curse takes the life out of you, but does not slice you up. We learnt the definations and all that for sci-fi and fantasy, it's really interesting. And now, OAC, or rather, Outdoor Activities Club, my PDP aka CCA. I love it loads, looks forward to every training, but Oh my God, it is so tough. I still can't believe I trekked from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to MacRitchie Reservior, 11km. I wonder how I survived it with 5 1.5litre bottles in my bag after climbing the hill twice. But we had to train for the overseas trip to Kalantan in March, I'm not going, but my seniors are. Yesterday's training was tough, we carried army bags with a sandbag and 2 water bottles in it, ran to the HDB flats opposite and climb the stairs. 24 storeys. First time, my timing was 7.49 min, 2nd time was 7.32 min. I am so glad about my timing. Though sorry to my partner, held him back so much. Heh. While we were waiting, we did push-ups, sit-ups, squats, burpees and jumping jacks. So many of them, more than I've ever done in my life. Ha, since I started OAC, there have never been one day in which my body doesn't ache. But I still love it. I hope the JC1s won't quit or leave the school =( I like all of my seniors loads ^^ The JC2 seniors are really strict with us during training, but I guess there is a need for that. I still have fun =P After the stairs training, we washed up the bags and played basketball! Some of the JC2 seniors joined us, as well as our teacher-in-charge, Mr Lim. There were lots of laughs. Then came the punishment, I couldn't breathe properly, that is scary, the 2nd time already. I have never experienced that before I joined OAC. But I'm NOT quitting, I like it too much! =D haha, who would have guessed that I would be in this kind of CCA in JC. I would have laughed at you if you told me that last year. Ha. Okay, I don't think I have anything else to say. I'll try to update more often, but JC life is so busy, no time. Haha, Cheerios all! =)

*note* apologies to those who thought I was using Christ as a swear word. Didn't mean it in that way at all.
