Man,I'm dead beat now.

Went to hta for np day full dress rehearsal and today's training was uber tiring. We were supposed to wear our first uniform,so we got changed immediately after we arrive,but after almost everyone has changed into their first uniforms,the CI told us to change back to half-u. Wasted a whole lot of time getting changed,taking down t-shirt sizes for our shirt,collecting the arms from the armoury and putting our bags. So all of us got kind of impatient,but this can't be helped,cause there were 100+ of us. The weather was super humid and we were perspiring real badly even before training starts. I got scolded by one of the sirs because he said I didn't wear my half-u properly. He was really sacarstic and he embaressed me in front of the others :( Being the right marker is so stressful and scary. It's like if you make a mistake,you'll get scolded by the CIs just because you are the right marker. I was really tired during training so at one point of time,I didn't lock my arms when marching,so one of the sirs approached me and said that if I continue to make that mistake,he's gonna change my position as a right marker. *sigh* All these scoldings kinda affected my mood just now and i almost teared. Whatever it is,i'm not gonna give up and i'm gonna prove to them i can do it. HANG IN THERE JANICE! =)

Anyway,we had our bayonets on our m-16 rifles today,and it's really cool! Haha (: I guess the whole GOH girls contingent improved alot today,and with more effort put in,i'm sure we'll do well on the actual day [: We shan't let the CIs say that the boys are better than us,cause girls can do as well too :D

School this week is stressful! I'm seriously lagging behind for e.maths and a.maths. I cannot catch up with the pace mr aw is going now. All the teachers are rushing through the syllabus and i'm trying really hard to absorb everything,but i can't,cause my mind has reached it's saturation point. I'm puting geography to use,hahaha (: Oh well,due to np day training,i always have to leave class early and miss quite a number of lessons,so I really gotta do self-study and catch up in which ever subject that i'm lagging behind.

Sec 4 life is seriously tiring,having to juggle my time between so many things. Many a time,it's either i revise my work and not get enough rest,go to school,feel tired and just completely switch off in class,or I take the time to sleep and feel lost in class cause I did not do self-study to catch up with whatever that I've missed,so I don't know what the teacher is talking about. It's so contradicting and I really don't know what to do.



So many things to complete and yet so little time.

I know it's been 2 weeks since my birthday but nevertheless,i still want to blog about it (:

Firstly,i wanna thank those who celebrated my birthday with me, gave me presents and of course,everyone who wished me :D

They are: Gerard, Amalina, Priscilla, Si hua, Jessica Chua, Jessica Lee, Kok Hwee, Cherine, Cherlyn, Guan Hua, Jolyn, Jaslyn, Regina, Jillson, Cheng Kai, Tai Hong, Aaron, Bryan Chan, Bryan, Nicholas, Tiek Han, Shi Ting, Seng Guan, Jasmine Chi, Lip Young, Hao Zhi, Sophia, Kenneth, Milfred, Mun Ting, Pei Yi, Jun Hao, Kang Cheng, Chong Ee, Xi Hong, Joanne, Joyce, Natasha, Li Fang, Esther, Eunice, Wei Kang, Braudon, Daryl, Trena, Theresa, Xiao Xian, Desmond, Kah Pin, Hong Hui, Kah Wai, Min Hui, Samuel, Jasmine Lee, Chien Wan, Anderson, Wei Ling, Shaun, Juvenal and Yan Kang. [sorry if i missed out anyone. do tell me if i nvr credit you] Love all of you! (:

So pris, mun ting, aaron and hong hui surprised me by coming to my house at 10 plus at night during my birthday. They bought me a birthday cake and we had a mini party,haha,it was really fun and i had free "chocolate facial". They also got me a pencil case,a converse tee and a box which was specially hand made by them. It was really really nice and i can see they put in alot of effort in it. Was really touched can,haha,thank you guys! :]

Also,i wanna thank bryan,tiek han and shi ting for celebrating my birthday with me too (: We went out for movie and dinner and it was all on bryan and tiek han. Thanks alot for the treat =D

Yupps,and now i can say that i am officially sixteen :D NC16 movies,here i come! Haha! So i guess it's all part of growing up. The process is tough with lots of emotional strains and pressure,but this is how life is and everyone has to go through it. Somehow,i wish i can stop growing,cause i don't wish to face the cruel reality this world has to offer. Humans are always strange because when they are young, they want to grow up and be an adult. But when you are an adult or an adult-gonna-be,you just wish to revert back to the simple life you once lead as a child. I have this same feeling too,how interesting.

Ok,so life's been pretty much the same. I'm very worried about my studies because i'm still lagging behind for some subjects. It's only a month more before the sec 4s step down for prefects. We've been busy preparing for the upcoming prefects' investiture and making over the prefects' room. Lots of things to be done like interviewing the prefects and preparing all the things to hand over to juniors. I just hope that people will appreciate the hardwork that we've put in.



All I can hear in the silence that remains,
Are the words I couldnt say.

My apologies for not blogging for nearly 2 weeks. I was very occupied with common tests and all the other stuffs.

Went to pulau ubin for atf with np mates on 2nd march. We tried out the high elements there and it was really fun and challenging (: I didn't get to enjoy myself as much though cause i was having a bad stomach upset for the whole day,but i still tried the elements :] The best was still the double flying fox which was 8 storeys high,it was super nice,unfortunately we didn't get the chance to do it for the 2nd time. There were still other elements like the intermediate rope challenge,advanced rope challenge,leap of honour,the ladder thing (i forgot the name for it) and the underground tunnel. We didn't get to try all but we did most of it :D
Pictures from atf:


Friday was sports day and the sec 2s and 3s had to do crowd control duty. A few of the sec 4s had to go in full-u too cause we had to supervise the juniors. There's nothing interesting except for the cca relay,cause np sent 4 teams to run for C girls,C boys,B girls and B boys respectively =D We came in 2nd for C girls and 3rd for B boys,yay!!! Haha,so after sports day,we took bus to sjc to report for np day training. The bus came at 2.30 to send us to HQ. Training was tiring. I guess it was because we were all exhausted from sports day. I kept yawning and stoned a few times throughout the training,but I was lucky not to get scolded by any of the officers xD After training,we headed back to school for np bbq. Reached there at around 7.45pm. Didn't eat much though cause mun ting and I were too busy settling the sec 1 attendance,haha,but nevertheless,we still had a great time there [:




I LOVE LOVE LOVE NP MATES!

Sometimes,I really can't imagine life without them. The times we spent together,I'll never forget them. You guys left me with some of the most beautiful memories one could have. You all were the ones who brought me through my toughest times,who listened to my never ending complains,who were there for me when no one else was and who meant the world to me. Thank you for everything.
