Second attempt.

I feel like this blog has been on a code blue for quite a while. and alon has been my defibrillator recently, inspiring me with his interesting and addictive posts.

The interesting about not blogging for so long is that you really don't remember anything about your previous post.(which this time i'm not interested in finding out how many weeks it has been) Since then though,I have gotten a year older, gotten a new coach, see Jeremy no longer freestyle and reached the hallowed holidays that any human would die for.

well,not exactly mine though.

But before thinking about anything that has gone on for the past Nov/Dec holidays, I think I just found out something I never thought was possible. The fact that someone can be an inspiration to himself or herself. You might think me crazy when I actually tell you that..but the thing is, when I saw the epiphany I had in the last post, it struck me that I had forgotten it and it was in fact a really brilliant epiphany for someone who lives his life like I do, with all that laziness and hope to STILL be successful.

Also, I looked at my old long and short outbursts on the blog and I realised how little control I had over my temperament then. It really made me feel ashamed, 'cause I was just telling a friend only the other day how one would have a better character as long as one had control over their temperament. This made me really feel like a hypocrite, but it also reinvigorated my wish to better my character and personality. ( No offence here, but I feel like a Wei when I talk so much about personality. :D

And because we have been doing so many debates during training about thens and nows (this is also a precursor as to how my holidays have been spent), I guess alot of the thens I don't really relate to now. Say for example the whole problem I had with too many girls in my class...I realised that now because of that, I treasure people like Ianyang, Wei, Alon and Michael more. (plus i think it made it easier for us to be closer. (: )

Anyways, to the days that have been spent, I can only say that my holidays have never been so well spent. I'm not going to be some sort of a timetable and list every single thing I did...but I can safely say that I am learning alot this holiday, definitely more than all the other holidays I've had.* (whether curricular or not)

The learning will continue, but will be coupled with much more burdens in the coming year that will include our good old orientation, competition season and simply studies and homework. =)

I've decided to create a special part to my blog, where I'm gonna just list down some stuff I'm blogging to achieve but still have to work on in my Oprah List (copyrighted to josh.) :

- I'm still meandering and not delivering those short and sweet punchlines
- I need to seek greater detail in what I say(in less words)
- The need to find more synonyms to certain terms and phrases

Footnote:
* - percentage increase in learning this holiday equals the inflation rate of the Zimbabwean currency; approx 231 million percentage points. O:

Monumental

Well, this is a step for erm... someone and a giant leap for me.lol

Anyways i'm back blogging and if you were wondering about the totally cool paragraphing, i guess ian's brains are rubbing off me.

Well, today not only marks nothing, but it marks me updating my blog after, lets see, after about 12 weeks!!!

WOW.I'm learning how to write or rather, converse, in short simple sentences.

Short simple sentences.

Okays i've just been freestyling and doing a Jeremy.Actually the purpose of blogging was just to not let my blog feel so broken down and show that I can actually commit.(you're right)

So far, my life has been...alright?But i've been set thinking by something Mr Firhad(sec 4 bio teacher) said in days of yore. He pretty much told us that our jc friends will be those that actually really really become your real friends when you leave jc. Well, it's just that, for now, i don't know how the class will end up...Wondering more about the scholars actually.haha.and also the lack of guys.

Question to all those ex-scones out there, were your classes so darn full of girls???Not that its not fun, but i guess you could say that there are certainly less guy friends to hang with.

Speaking of ppl to hang with, stupid classmates, always making fun of us. cannot take it lying down. So we walk together, so we sit next to each other and so we occasionally go home together.but ?!?!?!? Its not like you guys see us like doing dunno what right?( i was thinking very very extremely in my head) so yeah, we're seriously just friends man...Its only been 3 months? In words immortalized by Mr Ngoei, " Are you mad? "

So okay, now that i've dealt with that.let me move on to my case substantive.lol

This just reminds me of debate and how much YW has influenced me in the way i debate.I used to really truly believe that i could get away by just being stylistically excellent.but i guess the truth is that you don't really want to get away with anything, you want to do your best and be remembered for everything.So you're gonna have to do more then just this or that, you're gonna have to do both this AND that.And in the end, we ended up semi-finalists in nat'ls tournament...Not feeling too satisfied but i guess life can still go on.

That was so much third preson i felt like i was reprimanding someone.lol.

And now, homework doesn't look like alot if you name the subs, but just looking closer at what I have to do, I agree with Michael, I just wanna quit studying.WHat with the KI, Physics and Chem homework piling up and the chinese teacher expecting us to do our own stuff with our text?Why do you think we pay school fees laoshi?just for you to give us homework???then maybe there won't be lectures in ac at all since the students are all as knowledgeble as the teachers.

Okay sorry for that short outburst, but yeah, life goes on.

So i guess i'm off to ignoring my homework again and just slowly doing what I feel like...

Red Blue Gold.

Well, so lots has happened since the last time i have posted.I've changed school, made some new friends, met some primary school friends who i nvr knew, gotten my hair destroyed by a chinese national(female), gone for fusion(i'm from CAC mind you) and i have rededicated my life.YEP.Busy week.haha.

Anyways it gets busier but its good and i'm happy to know that i'm going to be buying alot more nice shirts.and a gc.haha.collegiates or whatever they call it.haha.as long as it looks good.

Anyways i'm looking forward to fun-o-rama and my awesome subject combi.I'm gonna slog it out man.cause i know it'll be fun, and i can get away from econs mainly.haha.good ole boring sub.like me.

After using two anyways, i guess lets just assume i planned to move on.Today's sermon was really great, really reinforced what i heard and absorbed from the message ytd, mainly absorbed cos i didn't take down anything.It was worth taking down though.Fusion really set me thinking whether i should move myself from a CAC church to a TRAC church or whatever its called.as long as it is english churches and it has more of youth ministry stuff.unlike the CAC.I'm sorry for associating CAC with old.just that it happens.

But like keith says, its not where we go, cause god is really, everywhere.he is where we go.we do not need to go find him.

So i'm walking by faith, and not by sight.Cover up my eyes, and i'll shine your light.

Goodbye NY, Hello AC

So today was a real jerk of a day.Its like how the sun shines in the morning and has to go down at night.
The brightness of the start compared to the overwhelming darkness of night.
Well, i was actually quite enthused about today in the morning but like i said, there were tears in my heart at the end.after all the goodbyes and cyas, of which how many i do not know will come true.

Goodbye to all you ppl i've known at NY, as in maybe physically, but definitely not breaking the link.

Bye to all of og 23, teachers and other friends that i made while skipping classes.I think it was a fair trade if u ask me.

It was really tough getting to know you guys, especially since i had to start making friends from scratch again.Thanks to the og23 bros who stuck together throughout this time and the other guys too.haha.For the girls, thanks for all the crazy stuff u guys did.(hint:valentines) and for our dear cts, thx for your hospitality and friendliness when mixing with us.

Anyways, for the rest, be it while playing soccer, basketball or just sitting and chatting, thx for the memories.It was surely fufiling.and i forgot going for lessons too!

Well, now that i've said my byes, its time to walk towards the red,gold and blue.

Hello ACJC.

Aptitude test

Haha.Today's aptitude test was quite interesting.The rules were something like 2 marks for each correctly answered question,none for not attempting and -1 for a wrong answer.lol.So the whole NY grp was wondering if they would like tell ppl how we did cause we're really afraid we'll get negative scores.haha.

I guess i just have to thank God for math.Luckily there's such a subject man, Bio was just horrendous.ask us stuff about protein being eluted and some NaCl electron graph or something.Those questions were just out to kill us man.Haha.

There was a great disparity in status over there too.Out of the how many ppl taking the test, About 1/3 were Hwa Chong ppl, NY only had 8 sad souls approved man.haha.Anyways i hope we get results for this soon.And i hope its gd.

The other funny thing was that alot of HCI ppl were playing arnd with the Rubik's cube over there.and theirs looked so new.haha.unlike mine.

And all these happened in a short span of an hour.haha.
