Wow... this is really a very eventful week... so many things happened... almost cannot catch my breath already!!

Monday
Racial Harmony Day. Had to bring lots of stuff to school, like the bindis and the bangles and the henna material to school... den had to meet the class in the canteen to distribute them... but all din want to wear the bindis lor... had such a hard time trying to persuade them to wear... but in the end there were like more than half the class who wore them... really appreciate their efforts!! Feel pretty rewarded as the NE ambassador of the class!! Mr Gwee was really sporting as to provide his hands for the henna design... feel pretty bad actually, cause the henna designs were not really that presentable... so think he has to like hide his hands for 1 week... but also hope that our class can score more points for the house!!

Stayed till like 9pm that day, cause WK, SF, SC and me wanted to stay in school to complete our work... think that it was a really good idea, cause I really managed to finish like most of our work... so it was really very rewarding to see myself doing so much without using the phone, TV and computer... think shld stay back more often... only bad thing is that I got really hungry towards the night, so guess next time shld have a hearty dinner first before that first.

Tuesday
Hahah... yet another eventful day. Something happened that made people not exactly very happy... but everything was just a miscommunication, and really glad that everything has been cleared up, and everyone is as happy as ever!! That is if you count our normal lives as happy.. which is not exactly so.. hahah!

Took the bus with WK, Wen Dtin and Esther... den traveled to AJC... cause WD wanted to pass something to her fren... so we just sort of stood outside AJC and waited... came up with a lot of 'plans'... but in the end din really work lah, cause WK was too stiff in his acting already.. hahah... anyway, after that we went over to Yishun to have dinner... poor me, had to travel with them despite the fact that I can take a 15 min bus ride home from AJC... on the way home, saw Joel and Eric (can refer to my previous post)... was pretty awkward at first, cause we din really talk much... but towards the end we started chatting... sorta made me miss the Cat High band people, esp the clarinet section...

Wednesday

So embarrassing!! Due to Soo Chin's over enthusiastic hype about my gf, I got totally made fun of in class... it was really a very scary experience I must say... but really funny too... hahah!! Have to say that its quite different from the past civics sessions... anyway, when I said that the dang shi ren commented that she will not see NJCians again on my previous blog, thot she really will do that. But apparently she seemed pretty enthu about it now... (just scroll down to the Saturday section)

Anyway, took the same bus as Jian Xiang... talked for quite a lot... about school and soccer (yes, soccer) and other stuff... after that I took a new route home... think that was pretty spontaneous... so maybe shall go home via that way more often!

Thursday

Nothing much happened on Thursday... it was like the most peaceful day of the week... had a very enjoyable tennis session with the class... even stayed back after school to continue playing for a while... den after that took the bus with Wen Dtin and WK... hahah... pretty interesting lah... so nice of WK... willing to take 852.. hor WK??

Friday

Went out with WK, CJ, Ziyi and someone else... think it was a spontaneous decision by the person... we were all pretty surprised lah... but its okie actually, since CJ, Ziyi and I seldom plan about where to go and stuff... so its like we go out without any aims. Pretty good lah actually, cause liddat dun have to worry about last min problems or anything. Anyway, talking to him prompted me to think about my future.. Think I can like look at his point of view... it like when you are of a certain age, and all your frens are married or have their own personal lives, and you are still single and have not much frens... and you dun do much outside of wad you usually do... its really pretty depressing...

When I just changed school last year, I was sorta like in this kind of situation... everyone got separated into different schools and din really have much time to keep in touch with each other. It din help that I got posted to this class where everyone hates me and dun even bother to include me in the class or something... it was really bad, cause I can't really talk to anyone... and at home, when I have the urge to call people, I would pick up the phone, and then realised I dun have any1 to call... it was really very bad...

But luckily Ziyi and CJ could still go out with me like every weekend, so it was not so bad.. but I was lucky, cause I could get out of that class and go to NJC, where the class is like so so nice, and I have really supporting frens... but others are not so lucky... so I guess I can understand his situation, cause I have sorta been thru such a situation... and I must sae, its really not a good experience!!

So hope that everything can go well lah!!

Saturday

Saturday was the band's V night... at first thot that it would not be really that fun... but I was wrong... it was really very fun!! Had a lot of fun taking Esther and Anusha around the school blindfolded (not me, them!)... they just kept on screaming and stuff, cause we kept on playing pranks on them... really very interesting! Den later there was a catwalk segment... also very funny to see the JC1s being paired up... really have to thank my section of giving me those gifts, esp the photos... really touched by them...

After that, went over to the NJCO concert.... have to sae that it was really very nice... they played very well.... congrats to all the members of the CO!! Saw a lot of teachers over at the concert... like Mr Chin, Mrs Lim, Mr Yeo, Mr Neo and Mr Lim... the school staff was so supportive lor... at the NJ band concert think only a few teachers went...

After that went over to Lau Pat Sat with Ferleen, HC and WK... saw Mr Lim and other Maths teachers yet again... really very surprised to see them... after our supper, we walked all the way to the Esplanade... talked a lot along the way... pretty interesting... hahah!!

I did a really bad thing after that unintentionally ... was waiting for the MRT after CO concert in City Hall to go to Marina Bay so that we can go back to the North from there... den an elderly couple approached us (me, WK and ferleen) to ask how to go to Toa Payoh via the MRT... so I told them to take the train that goes to Marina Bay, cause they can sit for the entire journey... budden after that Ferleen realised that we could not take that train, cause it would terminate in Marina Bay... so we ran up to catch the last North bound train... when we were on the train we suddenly realised that the old couple were still waiting on the train that would terminate in Marina Bay... but too late already, the door closed and left.. I felt so bad lor.... so called to check out the no for the Marina Bay MRT station... kept calling but just no one answered... felt so bad lor... den when I was in the cab later, called again... and finally the call got thru.. the station manager was very nice... offered to check out the platform... but there was no one there... but he assured me that they would be safe... but I still felt very bad lor... so decided I shall be nice and help anyone in need of help on Monday... yah... so if anyone needs my help, just come approach me!!
