my new pastime
i went swimming at the club yesterday..been probably a year or two since i've done that..swam 20 laps..felt good! but i really do regret not following through with my swimming...i don't regret my decision to not make swimming my CCA in IJ..coz then i wouldn't have had my basketball experiences..but i do hate the fact that i totally gave up on swimming...didn't bother swimming regularly or continue to swim for the club when there were inter-club meets...at least i would have maintained my speed and stamina...i am sooo slow now...k not that slow lah but still...i'm gonna try and commit myself to going down to the club once a week...20 or more laps each time...i really shouldn't have given up..i really really shouldn't have..

the weekend!!! finally!!! went to school every day this week to study from 9 to 6..had lessons and mocks on some days..oh man the bio mock and going through the answers...took sooooooo long! chem mock was alright...gp lesson had a dramatic ending...unfortunately i wasn't there to witness most of it...

today was just the funniest! geri came to school to study today with max and i so obviously it was gonna be a funny day...so what happened that was so funny??? here it goes....we took a break around 3.30 and after coming back from the canteen geri wanted to get some books out of her bag...so max and i waited for her outside the library..so she just started to unzip this nike bag which was the same type as the one she brought when she realized it wasn't hers...so ok she zipped it up and GLANCED around for hers..she didn't see it anywhere...so i said maybe the person who's bag she'd opened had taken her bag and gone home..and immediately the vulgarities began...so loudly in front of the poor people who just happened to be there at the time...profanity after profanity...each one worse than the one before...max and i were laughing and laughing..geri was getting hysterical...so we started to lift other bags off the shelf to look for it while geri cursed the person who'd 'taken her bag home'..and there it was...max found it under a few other bags! hahahaha it was hilarious!!!

sooo tired now...hope i can bring myself to do a reasonable amount of work this weekend...never happens...then it's back to school on monday!

what a day! graduation day...started off with us all gathering in class and taking hundreds of photos...i'm sure there were at least 20 cameras in class today..madness!!! then we had to do a class poster..our final one..we used mimi's glitter which made our poster all shiny and special...the photo-taking was still going on along with the poster-making..the class was pretty chaotic...music blaring from the speakers...everybody running here and there alternating between adding their bit to the poster and taking a thousand more photos! after the poster was complete came the video montage that ms lim made..chronicled our 2 years as a class..our sportiness, our craziness, our diligence...man that was emotional..knowing that this was the official end of our journey as T31 '04/'05...i had to seriously restrain myself from non-stop tears...managed to just keep it to a few tears...phew!

after that it was to the the PAC for the ceremony...speeches, awards, special mentions and a few hilarious revelations!!! oh and then the home tutors presented us with our graduation pins and folders..individually...another emotional moment! and then the final video montage..oh my god a thousand other memories!!! the best best best part of the whole thing was that T31 left CJC with the best home class award!!!!!!!!!!! it was TOTALLY unexpected...even ms lim didn't believe it when she heard our class being called! our response was so slow due to our disbelief...but every one of us was sooooo proud that we had achieved it! it really meant alot and it was the perfect ending to CJ life!

after school we went to marche as a class..all 24 of us plus ms lim..we spent 2 and a half hours there and i'm so sure the staff was glad to see as go as we had been making sooooo much noise!! couldn't help it though coz after we had finished eating all the people who were left gathered in one corner of our reserved heidiland section and started exchanging all sorts of funny stories and memories from the past 2 years..non-stop laughter!! had such a great time! i really hope we continue to meet up in the future so we can relive all the memories..

CJ was great! i don't regret for a moment my choice be a part of CJC..i was given a chance to experience a lot of new and fun things and i enjoyed being part of CJ netball, drama and ICS...so many other things i gotta say but i'm being forced off the computer so i gotta go!

i've sometimes wondered what john lennon would be like if he were alive today..having read so much about him being an activist for peace and about the tragic way in which he died..and lo and behold..there was an article about that very topic in today's TODAY coz this sunday would've been his 65th birthday if he were still alive..

the TODAY paper always has good articles..i love neil humphrey's saturday column...incidentally he also wrote the john lennon article..ya so his other article today was about how singaporeans don't seem to be able to do anything right if they're not told how to do so by the gahmen(as he calls it)...even though his articles are always humorous, they really do speak the truth about the issues he raises..they always make me realise that even though our society seems fine on the surface..when you look just a little deeper at some of the things we do, there's something really wrong with us..like the recent incident regarding the white elephants at the buangkok mrt station..a few harmless placards caused such a big ruckus because some uptight singaporeans are so afraid of straying from norms that they just had to call the police...even a peaceful voicing of opinions couldn't be taken lightly..i don't know..i just find it a bit sad..many of us here walk the straight and narrow path and are just so afraid to leave it and try other things..it's not the government at fault..it's the people a lot of the time..so uptight..so unable to do the right things if not told how to do them..read his article if you can!

this was quite a fun week for me..went out with jillian, treepti and geri on wednesday to celebrate jillian's birthday..had dinner at hard rock cafe..i hadn't been there for years! the atmosphere there is sooo nice...and the live band was really good..and some dude wanted to get to know jill..hehehe hot stuff!
then on friday i went to watch quidam..the performances were excellent..seamless..completely synchronised...and when they had little skits where they would pull audience members up, the skits were sooo funny that everybody was laughing and clapping like crazy...anyone who has the chance should really go watch it...not an opportunity to be missed...
oh and to my dear friends who think i'm sad/not ok..thank you very much for your concern but i am actually fine..just maybe a bit irritable sometimes but generally alright..so don't worry!
joke of the year:

the actual fag/sissy boy, the ever infamous AK(walks like a girl, talks like a girl, even sits like a girl) is trying to throw people of his scent by calling someone else a faggot..hahahaha hilarious...claims he took of his tagboard coz it don't suit his site..yeah right...coward...if anyone who knows him happens to chance upon this entry..please tell him to inject himself with some testosterone..he seriously needs it..
