Friday -
To-day was a not-so-good day, only saving grace being the outing with Eve, Jan and Sam, and maybe the time spent in class with friends and people, and maybe Moral Education period too. Okay so that's basically the entire day isn't it. But no, the enitre day consists of more than just school and after-school hours.
This morning I awoke late because I had forgotten to set my alarm the night before and Phillip had to come in to wake me up at six o'clock, which was half an hour later than the time I have to awake in order to reach school on time. I couldn't dally around like I always do in the morning.
Naturally I reached Clementi MRT Station late, and missed the earlier train, and arrived at Outram MRT Station late, and missed the earlier train, and arrived at Potong Pasir MRT Station (I always wonder what Potong Pasir mean because if Potong Ice Cream means Red Bean Ice Cream does Potong Pasir mean something like Red Bean something and is there a relation between Potong Pasir and Pasir Ris?) late, and had to run across the bridge to school.
Reaching school I waited at the Fitness Corner for the Vice Principal No.1 to finish her talk about going marketing with your mothers because the Chinese New Year is coming and helping out at home for the same reason. After we were dismissed Sharlene accosted me in slippers and put her arm around me and I kinda got a shock. The immediate two questions that came to my mind were "1. Why is she in slippers? And 2. Why is her arm around me?" And she said she had stepped on a nail during Canoeing training and that immediately answers both questions due to accute inference. She then proceeded to try and hobble towards the track to find Mr. Tan Chai Kwang and I got quite alarmed by that and said "Don't you have Econs Lecture now?" and she said "Yes, but I need to report to my CT," and I said "It's okay one la just tell him later," and she said "Ya you have a point." And I'm like of course I have a point because I do not want to walk towards a large crowd of sudents walking towards me trying to find a man to prove her existence in school that morning. Luckily I saw them classmates walking towards me and I felt relief wash over me. I said bye I have to go for Econs now and I think she did not hear me but by now her arm was over somebody else so I guessed it was safe for me to go.
Moral Education period was fun. Jonny made us do a positive exercise by writing down a positive quality about every single classmate and that was fun. It felt like a scene taken out of the "Chicken Soup For The Soul" series and it worked wonders and I was in a pretty good mood after that until it was General Paper Lesson and my mood basically fell to levels I didn't know existed until we did group work and laughed a lot and it was quite fun afterall minus the part where we felt neglected by the tutor. But I guess overall I enjoyed it because of the wonderful people in my group save for the absence of a certain Rachel.
In Literature Lecture Anita was crazy so it wasn't that bad. After school I walked with Anita, Eeli and Samantha to the bus stop and we parted there because I was going to Woodlands to meet Eve, Jan and Sam. I hated the bus ride because the bus was hot and stuffy even though it was supposed to be air-conditioned and I don't think the bus was conditioned to the right temperature and I had to open the window in order to continue my survival and not end up at the terminal dead.
I reached Causeway Point at four p.m. and saw them three and we proceeded to the Cathay ticketing booth to buy tickets for Memoirs of a Geisha. (Warning: Spoiler Alert! Skip this paragraph if you are intending to watch this movie.) The movie was rather decent and we all thought it was quite quite wrong that Chiyo had fallen in love with the Chairman at the tender young age at ten and that the Chairman had too fallen in love with a young Chiyo at the ripe old age of maybe what, forty plus? (That totally screams PAEDOPHILE!!!!!) And so too was it quite quite wrong that Chiyo had blue eyes. (How is it even remotely possible that an Asian has blue eyes and I thought it looked quite weird on her.) And so too was it wrong that none of the three leading actresses were actually Japanese and that Zhang Ziyi didn't make such a good geisha. And there wasn't good sex in the movie. Ah well. But I still enjoyed it for mysterious factors that I cannot pinpoint.
After that I heeded Vice Principal No.1 and went to meet Bessie at IMM (will IMM be an eternal mystery that I cannot solve?) to buy New Year stuff. I had a horrid time. Bessie was trying to choose flowers and by the time she had finished I found my feet had rooted to the ground and I had started to crave for sunlight and chlorophyll and water and carbon dioxide and I had basically mutated into a tree. No actually my feet weren't rooted to the ground because I had to follow her around and around and around and around the shop to offer my non-committal opinions on the bunch of flowers in her hand that looked the same to me throughout. Bleah. Shopping with Bessie is not an enjoyable thing because she takes such a long time to decide. Afterwards I was in such a black mood that I wanted to slash everything and anything in front of me with my light-sabre and simply to pulverize the entire building and everything and anything in it along together but I didn't because I don't own a light-sabre but I'm not saying that I wouldn't have done so if I had one. I ended up feeling like I hated Chinese New Year thoughroughly. (<--Is this spelt wrongly because it looks wrong to me. If you had told me that it was spelt wrongly when I was in the mood aforementioned I would have ripped you to pieces, but I'm feeling quite alright now.) RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Did I mention that it wasn't any better that I did not see Mister JayQ in school today? And the fact that Rachel was missing? :(
I hate it when I just do recounts but ah well.
I shall be off to play Gunbound now. Har Har. Yes it is that game you played like two and a half years ago. But I like playing it. Goodbye.

I Feel It.
January's rain has been showering on Donny. Donny used to think that rain was wonderful, but after getting drenched by it thrice just within half a month, it didn't seem that wonderful after all. Donny feels like rain clouds are venting their anger on Donny. For whatever reason Donny does not know, but it certainly is unpleasant. Donny likes drizzly rain, but definitely not the kind of rain where the raindrops are large enough to fill a nostril. Maybe Donny should just bring an umbrella out the next time and not look up at the sky when it is raining.
Monday -
To-day in school I had to skip tea with Mr Lim Chong Shen to help take photographs of the J1s' scholars' tea. On the way to the Photographic Society Room with Rachel, a sharp pain appeared out of nowhere and shot up my left arm and that gave me the impression that my arm was broken. I clutched on to it with my right hand and said to Rachel "I think my left arm just broke." But it turned out that it wasn't broken because I was able to hold the camera up to my face and if my arm had been broken I would not have been able to achieve that. Initially I was given a Digital SLR, (read: cool) but the space left in the memory card only allowed me to take two pictures and that was not enough and I had to exchange camera with Rachel. :( At the actual tea I walked around trying to get good shots, which were very rare because they were all standing around in circles and I couldn't get a shot without anybody's heads from the back unless I got reeeeeeal close to them to snap and I think that would have freaked them out totally. Wouldn't you be freaked out totally if someone snuck up on you with a camera and starts shooting over your shoulder? I would and I think them scholars would too, which is why I did not do it.
Tuesday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY CHOU!!!!
To-day I forgot to bring my mobile phone out of the house, which is too bad really.
I kept falling asleep in class. It must have been due to the fact that I had slept late last night. I forgot to bring my Southeast Asian History Lecture Notes and I almost fell asleep in the lecture itself, which would have been terrifying because the lecturer is a self-professed Sarcastic Person, but she is funny and I like her. I say this because something will happen to-morrow that will change my impression of her.
I was supposed to have a Photographic Society (PS) Meeting and I was complaining about it in class when George suddenly turned to me and said "Van your Pornographic Society (PS) Meeting today start at what time?" and the entire group burst out laughing and it was a good joke.
I waited for Anita to complete her General Paper Handout Meeting and went home with her. On the way home she told me a lot of stuff and I feel happy that she trusted in me. :)
There was alot of homework waiting to be done when I got home but GP research took up so much time and I fell asleep at the table trying to do my Southeast Asian History Tutorial that I didn't get around doing much in the end.
Wednesday -
It was horrible to-day I was so sleepy. It seems like I have been feeling sleepy every single day since the start of J2 year. I spend all my free time trying to complete the Southeast Asian History Tutorial that I didn't do last night. I fell asleep again in Economics Lecture and I felt quite bad. :(
Southeast Asian History Tutorial was the last lesson of the day and I went to class feeling all tensed up like I always do because the tutor is a self-professed Sarcastic Person. But the tutorial turned out to be really fun because she made really funny jokes and I laughed alot and I concluded that she wasn't that bad after all. :)
It was orientation for the J1 photographers and I actually had a great time playing Whacko and Double Whacko and sorts. The number of people who turned up was not so bad and it was cool really.
After CCA I went home with Eeli and Karen. I felt happy because I felt that the friendship that I share with Eeli is improving and that is great! :) Karen is fun to talk to and I had a good time on the bus talking to the both of them even though I was tired.
Jan and Sam and Eve were supposed to come today but I didn't go meet them in the end. :( But it is okay I will meet them soon enough although I think Jan is plotting my death and it is best to stay away from anyone who is plotting your death.
Thursday -
and this is today! Today during Chapel they made us do a survey about God. Here are the questions as follows:
1. What are the TWO things that you want to achieve in SAJC?
-Good Academic Results
-and I forgot what.
2. What is the most important thing to you?
-Friends
3. Do you think it's important to find a purpose in life?
-Yes
4. What is God to you? (and there were answers like "a close friend" and "a fatherly figure" or sorts)
-I don't believe in him
5. What is your perception of Jesus Christ? (answers included "historical figure" and "myth/legend")
-Saviour
Rachel tried to mess up the survey results by indicating the option "others" and putting down stuff like popularity and weight for Qn1, hair for Qn2, and pretty much the same as me for the rest. Kim and George both either do not know how to count or did not read the instructions and I highly doubt the former so it must be that they do not know how to read. Ha ha. Nah they just didn't read instructions and indicated more options than required.
Today Rachel was pretty upset and I do not know what happened to her and I do hope that it does not happen ever again because it was worrying when she cried. :(
I had a good time in Economics Tutorial because Mr Lee Ting Jian is such a funny man and he can teach really well and I basically laughed alot again. I like laughing a lot during last lessons because it just makes me happy for the rest of the day provided nothing unpleasant happens.
I studied a little after school with some classmates and it was fun too. Went home with Anita and Eeli and I was a happy person on the bus until they left me alone to my morbid thoughts. But basically I had a great day in school today except for during Literature Tutorial when Mr John Smith blew his top at us for being late for his Tutorial and the part where Rachel got upset and Teck Yen messaged to say that he had pushed himself too hard and was in the sick bay on IV drip. :( He has a fever now but he will be able to book out tomorrow and that is good because he deserves a good rest.
Overall it was quite a good day and I wish Rachel hadn't gotten upset and Teck Yen hadn't fallen sick. :(
Friday-
Yet to come, but I believe it will be a good day too because it will be a new day and there isn't anything that time cannot leave behind so we should all leave our troubles with time and let him do his job of erasing them all away. Makes it so much easier for us doesn't it.

Modus Operandi, I feel like I'm doing crime.
First weeks of school have never been this tiring.
Phillip is laughing at the tellyvision in the background right and Carolyn is preparing for a wedding dinner and her radio is blasting music in the background left.
Monday - There is no school today. But I cannot help feeling very nervous and constipated because there is going to be school tomorrow. I have homework left unfinished and I am not going to even attempt to complete it. I have promised myself that I would not skip any lectures or tutorials, and homework is not a lecture or a tutorial. I am thinking of dropping a subject, either mathematics or history. I pack my bag according to instinct because I do not have the timetable. My instinct tells me that there are to be no lessons tomorrow and I only pack my pencil case, paper file, writing paper, wallet and music player in. I go to bed at one thirty a.m. and end up falling asleep at two plus plus plus a.m. I guess I am too excited about tomorrow.
Tuesday - I wake up at five thirty a.m. feeling like I have not slept a wink. But I am too excited to care and I start preparing for school. I leave the house at six thirty a.m. and reach school at seven twenty five a.m. I am feeling excited seeing all the students on the train but I put on a sleepy face and look like I do not care and that I dread going to school when actually I am rather looking forward to it. At the Outram Park station I meet Elsa and she drags me along. We see an entire group of River Valley Boys in their shorts and Elsa says that they have been posted to our school. I see Jianrong among them and I think he has become cuter. I meet Jianwei at Potong Pasir station and we walk to school together. The new school compound is pretty and I definitely like it better than the old one. But the walking distance kills especially when I am on the brink of being late and I am dead even before I reach the school gate. At the assembly ground, the councillor on the balcony sing the national anthem acapella and personally I found that rather amusing. I find out from my classmates that there is PE today and I do not have anything in my bag that I can wear for PE. After PE it is math lecture and I decide that I like what they are teaching and I will not drop math. Instead, I will drop history and work hard at math. The rest of the day was basically quite boring because Mr Yoong made us unpack library books for History Lecture and there is nothing else worth mentioning except for the fact that it felt good to see all my friends again.
Wednesday - Today I died before reaching the school gate again and they had a spot check to check our hair colour and style after the national athem and pledge. (I do not understand why they make us sing and recite the anthem and pledge when hardly anyone does it except for the student councillors.) Mr Yoong picks on me as usual in his joking manner for my tie when the subject of the spot check is actually hair colour and style but not attire. Today is a short day with only four lessons and I think our General Paper tutor is rather funny. I decide that I like him and I shall work hard at General Paper. I turned down the General Paper Differentiated Class because I do not want to go to a new class with new people and do General Paper Excercises every single day because that would be stifling. After school I meet El and we go to PJC to meet Teckyen, Zhenhui, Jan, Pris and Eve for lunch. I had fun and I will miss Teckyen when he goes into National Service. I am convinced not to drop math but history instead.
Thursday - I take bus number 154 to school today. I board the bus at 6.40 a.m. because I had missed the 6.25 a.m. bus. I see Yew Long at the bus stop and I wave to him but he does not wave back. He boards the same bus as I do and still does not wave to me. I think that he does not recognise me and I shall ignore him the next time I see him. I go to school late because the jam at the Hwachong, NJ stretch of road was so bad, I think it took the bus like half an hour to get out of that place. Disugusting, really. I meet Anita at the bus stop because she is late too and we are both late for Chapel because Chapel for J2s are conducted on Thursdays. We rush into the Cultural Center and pray while we are standing on the steps because everybody is supposed to stay still when the person on stage asks for a prayer. The rest of the day is in a frenzy because of PE. I see and hear the J1s making merry. After school I walk to the bus stop with Jianwei and it feels nice because Jianwei is such a nice person.
Friday - I go to school especially early today and I meet Camellia at Outram station and I have a good time talking to her. When we reach school she goes off for morning worship and although I am tempted to follow her I don't. Instead I wait for Rachel, Kimberly and George in the canteen. I keep thinking that there is something wrong about Rachel but the rest do not seem to think so. Okay I leave Rachel as she is after bugging her for the past few days and go about my own stuff. I get chased out of Economics tutorial with Kim and I feel really bad about that for pretty much the entire break until it is time for General Paper and I do cheer up a little. I had a Society meeting and I walk Karen to the bus stop when it ends because she does not know where it is. After that I walk back to school and wait for Jiawen because we are going to tag along with Evelyn when she goes on this almost blind date later on. I make a new friend called Jaryl today because he is with Jiawen when she meets me and the three of us ate nuts like birds and went to see the band perform for the Orientation Finale. They do not let the J2s attend it because there was a stripper last year and they are afraid that someone might do the same thing again this year. And I wonder what makes them think that the J1s themselves will not strip? We are very late for our meeting with Evelyn and we are very sorry. We have a great dinner together and we take some very very pretty neoprints together! We kind of ostracise the weird date. But he is really weird. I must say we had a great time together. After he left that is. And I realise that I haven't hung out with Jiawen for a very long time. We make a date to go and buy uniform tomorrow at the Teck Whye Yangtze Kiang. I love the name it is so catchy.
Saturday - We meet at Choa Chu Kang and Jiawen is very late. But it is okay because Evelyn and I have each other for company. We buy bubble tea and I stuff myself with pearls. I accidentally spit one out while speaking with Bessie on the phone and I burst out laughing. Bessie was annoyed and she says "I am talking to you and you are laughing?!" and I explain the situation to her. Jiawen arrives and we make our way to Yangtze Kiang. At Yangtze Kiang I see a schoolmate in the shop. He is Kenneth Sim's fellow soccer team mate and I do not know his name but we know each other and it is a long story how. I realise that I do not see him in school nowadays but he is a funny boy. After that we meet Siyun and we go to my house. We have dinner with my parents and went on to the deserted Ginza Plaza that is sustained by the income generated by the LAN shops and the Shop and Save Supermarket. Ginza Plaza is an eerie place and the four of us are there to try out LAN gaming. We play Counterstrike Source and a little bit of Warcraft III. I find out that Warcraft III is actually quite fun and I shall play it after the A Levels. I have a fun day and I watch a bit of soccer with Phillip when I get home. I learn all about the third, second and first divisions and premiership thingy from Phillip. It is fun.
I have a lot of homework to do and I want to go back to PJC for a campfire tomorrow but I heard they have changed the Principal and I think the new school rules suck. I shall go into the office and insult her tomorrow. Byebye all!
Phillip is laughing at the tellyvision in the background right and Carolyn is preparing for a wedding dinner and her radio is blasting music in the background left.

I realise that I do not see him in school nowadays but he is a funny boy. After that we meet Siyun and we go to my house. We have dinner with my parents and went on to the deserted Ginza Plaza that is sustained by the income generated by the LAN shops and the Shop and Save Supermarket. Ginza Plaza is an eerie place and the four of us are there to try out LAN gaming. We play Counterstrike Source and a little bit of Warcraft III. I find out that Warcraft III is actually quite fun and I shall play it after the A Levels. I have a fun day and I watch a bit of soccer with Phillip when I get home. I learn all about the third, second and first divisions and premiership thingy from Phillip. It is fun.
I have a lot of homework to do and I want to go back to PJC for a campfire tomorrow but I heard they have changed the Principal and I think the new school rules suck. I shall go into the office and insult her tomorrow. Byebye all!
