a crazily hectic week has gone by already. seems so fast. and yet again i do not know what i want to blog about. writer's block, one may say, but probably not in my case. i always have problems about what i want to blog. perhaps i don't think too deep enough. so yeah. ok enough ranting for now.

school? yes. tutorials are flying towards me (ok bad pun). so far i still can cope. but my problem is chem. i used to like chem a lot but lately i realised my chem skills have gone down the drain (or they weren't there in the first place). so much so that i begun dreading both chem tutorials and lectures. i don't know why. i do not want to flop chem. i probably have to begin pushing myself to work harder i guess.
signed up for guitar ensemble alongside photography. so i have two CCAs. i'm a beginner in guitar as i probably hadn't touched the instrument ever before until wednesday night when i begun hurriedly learning some chords. only to forget them all the next day. never mind. at least i have a handbook (obtained from the guitar coach) that i can use to practice with. i've got till next thursday so yeah. don't know why i decided on guitar. perhaps it was the fact that YFC wouldn't accept me due to my poor eyesight, and i couldn't think of anything else to join. not that i don't like guitar, i am actually interested in picking it up. whatever. i still have 3 months to decide i guess.
as for photog, i'm a beginner too. have yet to properly use a DSLR (yes, I've handled the D70 at IT fairs before and used a friend's D100) but have used a film SLR. well, at least i'll get to learn (ample practice in preparation for my own DSLR i hope? (: heh). whatever
see. i'm losing my touch and don't know what to write again.

i'm bored. yes as usual. school has been tiring the past week. same old rituals, lectures, stone in void deck/cafe/bleachers, lectures, stone again, then home at 1.10pm. dread the fact that school will end at 4.30pm daily except wed from tomorrow. urgh. yeah u get the drift. interestingly 1SD2 and 1SD6 have begun doing tutorials already (all so hardworking x= . ok i'm guilty too.. ) while everyone else is still stoning in the canteen. not that we do work only, but a lot of interacting. so much so that tomorrow (17 jan) is 1SD6-declared "lame joke day". haha. everyone has to contribute lame jokes. and i have none. ahh heck. heh. the class has been fun so far!~
no class outing yet but i'm sure there will be some upcoming (: oh and we begun celebrating birthdays already! first up on fri was jeremy and nada. next month there's more so yeps..
looking forward to the upcoming long weekend..

helloo all. orientation is over ): somewhat sad though but at least my timetable for this week is slack. shall summarize what happened on orientation night i guess. quite an eventful day for me (:
started off with house meeting. in some house called (shit i forgot). oh wells. house meeting followed by a continuation of the orientation story. and games thereafter. got ourselves filthy since it was the last day of orientation (ahh it won't hurt). muddy, grassy and all that. first game we played involved tying balloons to our legs and bursting that of the opponents (urgh mine burst on the grass S: ) yepps. after that, we got ourselves muddy because we had to crawl on wet grass under tennis nets. we had to stay below the nets. ended up with muddy shirt, hands, feet and everything exposed.. hosed down after that.
played a game involving eggs, papayas and whatelse? i forgot S: not too bad. not very dirty. showered after that and went to meet my class teacher (oh yes, i'm in 1SD6 doin bio, chem, maths and econs ) and other new classmates. not a bad lot i guess. everyone's been great so far.
after that we went on an OG outing! played pool at this place called "pool junction" along middle road. second time playing pool for me while most of the other guys in my OG were like pros S: played pool till 6pm, when we had to rush back to AC for campfire. ended up late by about 5 mins but who cares. campfire was good. a lot of funny acts by the different mother OGs. all the events and festivities were great. enjoyed myself.
everything ended at around 10.45pm and soon it was time for mass dances! we had two songs this year, superstar by jamelia and blame it on the boogie by jackson five (apparantly). danced till like 11.30pm and then it was time to go. bid adieu to the OG people whom i got to know much better during these five days. well, i'll still see them around in school i guess. and my classmates are a great bunch (1SD6 2005, u rock! :D:D )
The Jackson Five - Blame It On The Boogie
My baby's always dancin'
And it wouldn't be a bad thing
But I don't get no loving
And thats no lie
We spent the night in Frisco
At every kind of disco
From that night I kissed
Our love goodbye
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
The nasty boogie bugs me
But somehow it has drugged me
Spellbound rhythem get me
On my feet
I've changed my life completely
I've seen the lightning leave me
My baby just can't take
Her eyes off me
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet
I just can't
I just can't
I just can't control my feet
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
Don't blame it on sunshine
Don't blame it on moonlight
Don't blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
the rest of the song got edited out..
Jamelia - Superstar
People always talk about (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
All the things they're all about (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Write it on a piece of paper
Got a feeling i'll see you later
There's something bout this
Lets keep it moving
And if its good lets just get something cooking
Coz i really wanna rock with you
I'm feeling some connection to the things you do.(you do, you do)
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I dont know who you are
But you must be some kind of superstar
Coz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are,(you just make me wanna play)
Baby take a look around (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Everybody's getting down (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Deal with all the problems later
Bad boys on their best behaviour
There's something bout you
Lets keep it moving
And if it's good lets just get something cooking
Coz i really wanna rock with you
I'm feeling some connection to the things you do,(you do, you do)
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I don't know who you are
But you must be some kind of superstar
Coz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are,(you just make me wanna play)
I like the way your movin' (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
I just get into the groove and then (you just make me wanna play)
If you just put pen to paper (ey oh ey oh ey oh)
Got that feeling i'll see you later
Make your move, can we get a little closer
You rock it just like you're supposed to
Hey boy i ain't got nothing more to say
Coz you just make me wanna play
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I don't know
Gotta be, gotta be a superstar
All eyes on you
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I don't know who you are
But you must be some kind of superstar
Coz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are(you just make me wanna play)
I don't know what it is
That makes me feel like this
I don't know who you are
But you must be some kind of superstar
Coz you got all eyes on you no matter where you are(no matter where you are, you just make me wanna play)

hello all. its been what, 3 days into the new school term already. and so far i'm enjoying it in ACJC. haha. orientation has been fun. everyday we're playing games and getting dirty (hahaha so glamourous). paint, starch, eggs, glue, detergent, you name it, the OGLs have it :S my OG people are quite nice and funny (especially the ACS guys. bloody hell sickos i tell u. especially bo *inside joke*. heh)
so far its been good. got to know my OG people better i guess. from what i heard, AC has the best orientation programme this year. i mean, while people in VJ are stuck in halls and LTs having talks, we're out there playing games. suprise suprise. yes VJ hasn't had proper games yet. ok we do have talks too but not as much as them.
we also have mass dances. two of them. first one is some oldie, the second is a couple dance with the song superstar by jamelia. not too shabby, though it has taken us 3 days and countless hours mastering 1.5 songs. heh. been ending at 17xx hrs daily, and going home dead tired. oh well. got to get used to it i guess.
ok i'm out of here!~ be back soon.
