i had originally wanted to post this entry in chinese, but i gave up halfway after realising that there were too many expressions that i did not know how to use in chinese. i guess english is my first language after all, depsite having been in a chinese primary and secondary school and being in chinese drama.
i have been busy recently with the rehearsals for next wednesday's founders' day performance by the 38th student council. come to think of it, it will very likely be the last time that we all take to the stage as a 38th council and the last project together. but i guess nobody is emo-ing, seems like we've all got past that. time to move on. but all the rehearsals in the past few weeks really brought back sweet memories of the times when we were biah-ing for perfomances such as talentime, investitures, orientations, and grad nites. oh how i miss those times. i cant help but reminisce about the past. the past is just too good to forget.
the performance has caused quite a bit of grief for me, not in the strict sense of the word. it's just that im very disappointed with the school's policy of not allowing us to go back for rehearsals, even though dr boon herself sent an email to the school. if schools are teaching us to practise loyalty, then why not help to facilitate this? i have a good mind to write a letter to mr hodge regarding this issue. i am quite unhappy, especially since mr leong gave a verbal assurance that a letter from the school will suffice and the day after, mr hodge gave a firm and blunt no. i think RJC needs to be more flexible. yes, we have a good name to maintain, but do be flexible and learn to bend the rules sometimes. there can be no such thing as a blanket rule that covers everything under the sun.
i will screw up my ki test tomorrow. i've given up on it oredi. i will do the question: can machines know?" three words that can totally screw up your mind. anw, i will be dropping ki, so next week is my last week of ki. thank God that the orientation will be on wed and thur, so effectively, tomorrow is my last ki lesson. not that i'll be missing it anytime soon. i'll miss the class though, it's almost certain that i will be leaving 08S03Q after changing combi, something that was a really difficult decision to make when deciding to drop ki. im hoping and trusting in God for an even better class than 3Q, if there is one.
march hols coming up. for once i will have a whole march holidays free from cca. quite an intriguing thought. past march holidays were just school without lessons, i would come back for cca or other activities for the whole day. i am just looking forward to one entire week of blissful slacking. i think i shall go to the movies, so many to watch. i'll go to the beach and chill out and maybe ride a bike, all by myself, to get away from all the madness. then i think i'll go jogging, and then offset all that by pigging out at sakae with my dear 4j. i want to go to sentosa and sit by the beach and read a good book. of course, there's the problem of studying and catching up on some topics, especially econs, since ill be upgrading to h2 after the hols.
cant wait for the week to end. till then, wish me luck. i'll endure monday and tuesday, enjoy founders day on wed, and orientation 2 on wed and thur and back to school for the last day on friday, and im off to have fun!
