New week, new outlook
Start of this week looks very promising... good, means i've managed to completely shake off the blues of last week...
on monday was kinda dreading the long day, but thankfully it passed pretty alright. having last lesson with mr ngoh always help cos he makes the lesson seem so fast. but the tutorials made me realise how much i've been lagging behind... thanks to that cny period of ponning, i'm still very uncertain on the transformation stuff, and trying to learn new stuff, do tutorials and copy down answers all at the same time is not easy at all. ended the day feeling all stressed up (but in a 'good' way where i'd just be ranting bout how stress i am but not feeling too down)
later went for banner painting for cg. was thinking bout skipping but in the end decided against it. turned out i was one of the only 6 pple or so (and one of the 2 guys who went)... but don't really regret going. interesting to note that the two of us who went happened to be the ones who have missed all the cg outings up til now... makes you wonder, don't u...
ok, so as usual, guys can't help much with painting lest someone wants to have the banner ruined... so yichao and me just went out to buy stuff for them and sat at one side, talking... was a really nice conversation.. somehow we seem to share pretty similar experiences and things in common, so it was really nice sharing lots of stuff bout urself and hearing more bout others. been quite a long time since i've had such a sincere, engaging talk...
in the end we did help out a li'l in the painting but i almost screwed things up by painting a part i'm not supposed to... oh well... thankfully all turned out fine. so even though i left quite late and ended up not doing the catching up on work as planned it was worthwhile.
on to today... was dead beat on way to school (goes to show early nights doesn't mean more rest). almost late... reached school when everyone had already started assembling. but sun was nice in the morning... beautiful orange hues in the 'horizon' (ok, so technically not it with so many buidings blocking... but was very far to one side) and the sun was a pretty dark orange/red circle... too bad don't have sunglasses and cannot stare at the scene... nice...
ok, so had 3 lessons but seemed like eternity. then with my 'revised timetable' i'm done with the day ^^. managed to convince lymon, aaron and lik to pon too so we went to princess to watch hide and seek. gonna miss princess to a certain extent when i leave tj... $5 tickets, empty cinemas to urself... the best place to go after ponning lessons (today makes it the third movie i'm catching there after ponning lessons)... almost makes me wonder how they can sustain the business... i'd be really, really shocked one day if i catch a movie and can't 'qiao jiao' on the seat in front.
hide and seek... interesting movie... quite nice. but lots of confusing parts which don't really quite understand. so in the end the four of us went mac, got ice cream and sat down discussing bout the movie. managed to figure a lot of things debating on them and settling on the most logical argument. wonder if the scriptwriter actually had all the 'theories' we have for the story planned or maybe they were just fillers and we're making too much out of it. but still many parts we don't quite get after discussing... the ending especially makes u go 'huh?'... think i wanna watch it again if i have the chance to fill in the answers.
thankfully not much horror involved in it. never really liked horror shows, esp those with those gory scenes with blood complete with bugs, etc... just plain gross... not really scary but overall feeling was good lah. nothing much to bash it anyway.
after that, lymon and lik went back for cca and aaron for lessons (-_-"). i proceeded to amk central, thinking of doing the long due catch up in the library. but as usual before i start work i'd need to do some wandering around, so went around the usual spots... popular... sembawang book store/sports link... then the food... curry puff, waffle, goreng pisang. new rotiboy stall there, nice ^^ though it's a li'l too salty and light on the coffee imo, but still tasty nonetheless.
was preparing to head to lib already then met zhi hao. didn't realise i haven't really talked to him much since streaming in sec 2. somehow he missed even more bball practice than me haha. so did some catching up, talking bout jc life, life in general, etc. really glad i can have two good conversations in 2 days... but after that was totally in no mood to do work somehow and decided to head home in the end.
still remember start of year i actually did my tutorials before the lessons itself and filed everything up nicely under its respective divider... now ack to my old self, fishing for single pieces of paper from that big stack... gotta do sth bout this soon. ok, i must go to the lib tml to at least try catch up a li'l!
hmm, i'm in a ranting mood today haha. think i can go on and on bout my life and everything under the sun. still have more to say but well, they aren't really important (not like this entry is...) so think i'd stop here before the pc starts playing tricks on me again and make me lose everything.
