Alright, I took a look at my blog interface and I decided that it's too pink for what I'm feeling now. I'm going to change the blog skin in a few days to come, hopefully, or migrate elsewhere.
Why are so many people abandoning their blogspots for wordpress? Could someone tell me why is wordpress so good? I'm guessing wordpress looks more mature, organized and yes, it's more like a place for proper blogging. Reason why I am not giving this blog up is because this is a place where all my memories are kept, from 2006 up till now. I kind of regret deleting away the blog I created back in 2005, sigh.
Blogs aside, I've been in for a luck streak recently, almost everything goes my way and except for not getting into the MOE round of OSAP, maybe. But I thought getting into the school interview was lucky enough, for another exposure to interviews - something that I am terrible at. I've learnt so much from the two consecutive interviews that I went to in the past week and reflecting upon them, I'm gonna get better (:
Well, this post is a serious one after such a long time. I've changed so much, so did my life. It's funny when I recall how Kenneth let his blog die in Year 3 and revived his blog in Year 5 when life gets better. I couldn't understand why he did that but now I totally do. I didn't intentionally lock up my blog for 2 years but did something equivalent, haha.
Now in Year 5, got into a new class with new classmates and made a couple of new good friends in a short period of time. In the beginning months of Year 5, I was offered opportunities that I never thought I would get. My subject combinations gave me a platform to express myself better, and lead my own life. Now, I've again found passion in learning. I need to read, and read more.
I am still in the process of re-organizing my life, there are new things to shift to the top of the priority list and things to let go. In my past 2 years in NUS High, I've truly learnt what it means to 'prioritize', and 'give up when need to'.
This post is still highly unorganized, but I'll try to write my posts in a more meaningful way in the future, partially to improve my written English.
To end off, 2 main goals of 2011:
1. Achieve my best in school
2. Read!

AYLC was over, and it's awesome. Thanks to Raimie and Rachel for being our facils, and the rest of the group mates :D
It's not the best time now to write a post on AYLC, because it's just gonna take super long.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm disappointed, at someone who can't understand the needs of other people.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes I really really disliked school, because of all the things that we have to do. AYLC ignited my passion for leadership and council again, and it takes self-motivation to get myself going for the next 2 years, or maybe, just the next year, since we're stepping down in Year 6.
I seriously think that maybe the school could lessen on the amount of things we need to learn, and learn them with quality, instead of chionging through the syllabus prepared. =/
Maybe this period (next week), when all my 6 tests (or more) and TYA and Teachers Day Rehearsals and SMP datelines all clash together, it's an ultimate challenge to how much I can contribute to council. Am I to keep away all the council work and study for my own benefit? Or am I to hang on there for everything, with the possibility that I might fail all my tests in the end? Hahah.
I guess, sometimes when we all say that school work is the most important of all, and we should concentrate on our work when we can't juggle and leave the leadership alone for awhile. It's not always the case when it comes to the actual situation.
It's MY responsibility, and it's ME that chose to be in council. So I should have expected this.
------------------------------------------------------------
AYLC was still worth it, despite all that I have described above. :)

6 Big things for this semester:
1. IRP (Youth Science Congress)
2. Do IRP extension for SSEF next year, and do it well.
3. Staff Appreciation Day (21 days more to the end of it)
4. CO Concert
5. TYA Games Day
6. Maintain my CAP, despite the lots of math and english MCs.
As long as I get these 6 things done properly this semester, I'm happy with my life.

Oh by the way, here's something funny and worth making a note in my blog:
On Saturday, in Japanese Class, the guy sitting next to me asked 先生 what's かたつむり (our class name). The teacher showed us a picture, cos she didn't know what is the name of that animal. Apparently, it was a snail. So the whole thing goes like this:
teacher: かたつむり〔蝸牛）は虫です。(shows us a picture of snail).
snail is an insect.
me: これ虫じゃありませｈ！
snail is not an insect!
and the argument goes on.....(im lazy to type the entire convo out in jap =.=)
LOL. okay maybe not that funny but in class, it was funny. LOL.
That little diary of mine, is not serving its function. Or should I say I'm not making use of it. Whenever I write down something to do for the day, I won't complete it on the day itself. So, what's the use of writing down if I don't bother to finish it at all?
I need to follow my schedule tighter. A LOT tighter.
Tests are coming up soon, in 2 weeks time, many of which clashes with AYLC, ah well. It's time to stay at home during weekends to mug, instead of going out for CIP or random shopping or what not.
And, damn PPV. I can't do a single question on Tutorial 1B, I didn't understand that lesson that the tutorial was on. Argh. Going to get Su Hang for free math tuition tomorrow.
GE2 for Math a.k.a Math Open Book Quiz.
Physics In Class Assignment a.k.a Physics Quiz.
on wednesday.
This sem started good with scoring relatively well for Chem, at least for the first time in I-don't-know-how-long. Maintain that, maintain that.

当你喜欢上一个不认识的人的时候是什么样的感觉？
I want a new phone. :(
I wanted the Samsung S3653W they used in the show, He's Beautiful, checked up on it, and found that it was a low end touch screen phone =/ The only thing that attracted me was the WiFi and the design, so was thinking if I should get it. The camera is also 2 Megapixels too.
I kind of regretted getting LG Ice Cream for the design, cos of its really basic functions. =/
Anyway.

Suchang did nothing for the weekend in terms of acads, and she feels damn guilty.
Went for the leadership training on Saturday in school, I like the training, the people were funny and it was pretty useful, especially the legacy one. There's this part of the notes prepared by school that says:
You're leaving the school in 2 years' time. In the last 3 years, you have experienced the joys, the exhilaration, the challenges as a student leader as you worked with others, learnt to be a role model and you see the fruition of several great plans and events for the school. You now know what it takes to be an effective student leader, and you want to live a life worthy of emulation by others and eventually to leave behind a legacy for your juniors to follow, to take the school to even greater heights. What do you want to leave behind? And how are you going to do it?
I marked out that part, similar things had been going through my mind for the past half a year since I entered Year 4. When I saw the word "legacy", I recalled Roy telling me about leaving a legacy behind for the first time 2 years back when I was applying for council in Year 2. I wrote that "I want to join council because I hope to leave behind a legacy when I leave the school" , not knowing what it meant exactly or how to do it. The training about leaving behind a legacy came just in time.
Every part the coach talked about, I kind of reflected back on what I have done in be it, CO, Music Ambassador, cheMagic, CIG or the Council. I started out as one that knew nothing in CO as their president. I have to say that I really learnt my stuff about leadership the hard way, and I'm still not there, talking about personhood and what not. Well i guess NUS High is a learning journey for me in leadership, building from zero to what I have now. I may not be a good leader compared to many others in council but I satisfied with what I have now and is still working to improve. This year, I'm putting all my efforts into mainly the council, and I hope that I'm on a new level in Year 5. Hahah.
Anyway, anyone from Tday Comm, if you're reading this, pardon me for my bads in the planning progress. =P
On a random note, I realised that only when people do not have a strong self confidence that they can truly see the pluses of other people in the area, and learn.
Ah, and there was also some tea party for the alumni in school, quite happy to see Reico, Roy and Eugene again though didn't talk much because of the training, haha. Oh yeah I saw Bryan too (:
Anyway, later on went to Vivo with Yizhuo and co to buy Jiaqin a dress for present but in the end we didn't decide on one. I got a new headphone though :DD I'm so happy (: Not some super awesome sound quality but I went just for it for the design, haha..
Was dead tired after reaching home from Vivo at 10pm, aching all over and caught a cold on the bus. Slept until 10+ today and rushed to Bird Park for duty. I spoke English, Chinese and Jap today, lol x) Went 313 for lunch with parents after that, came back and slept until 6pm T.T Then did teachers day...
so yeah, no sign of acads anywhere for the 2 days, shall go edit my advocacy speech now. =P
Oh, I realised there's a need for me to bring my laptop to school everyday. I need regular dosage of FT.ISLAND videos LOL.
I ❤ Lee Hong Ki (:
