I have no idea what struck me, but I did not go home for my 9 days of school holidays this time. WHY?!?!?
Initially, it was still quite okay. But towards the middle and especially the end of the week, the holidays was starting to feel like a drag. Anyways, it’s going to end in a few short hours and tomorrow will be the start of another 10 weeks of schooling. 70 more days before the next holiday arrives. What a long wait….

I sincerely hope this coming term will be manageable. Don’t give me hell with crazy, packed schedule.

I’m already having it during the holidays. Work is never ending. Every time I complete one, another new work will come in. It kinda demotivates you….Well, I just gotta live with it - having unfinished work everyday….
And studies. It’s getting harder. It’s getting faster. And seeing your seniors scoring pretty well for A-levels and knowing fully well that you need AAA to get into a top university just put further pressure….WTH?!?! ARGH!

How shall I start? By saying Hello again?

This is another update after nearly 3 weeks. I feel so bad for not updating here. But I’ve got no choice. I’m very busy. Really really sibuk.

The teaching pace is extremely fast. Just as I finish doing one tutorial, the next tutorial will come in. And then the next tutorial will come in again. Sometimes, I’m 2 tutorials behind the current lecture. I’m lagging behind in my homeworks already. Really trying my best to complete things before teacher goes through them in classes. But whenever I’m done with one work, another one will come in immediately. It’s been like that for such a long time that I can’t remember the time when I can laze around one weekend knowing fully well that I’ve completed every homework that I have.

If tutorials are not enough, teachers are also piling us with revision questions. I’ve many revision worksheets on JC1 stuff, but because they are not collected nor discussed, I chose to procrastinate them to a later date. It’s the last week of the term. I’m getting a 1 week breather from school. Phew. Time to catch up on all my homework. And I pray really hard that teachers don’t add to my workload, though that seems like a far-fetched dream.

The last few weeks had been filled with tests also. We had our Econs, Maths and GP tests already. Chemistry test is on this Wednesday and luckily Physics is after the holidays.

Well, it’s not always this case for me in Singapore. When I was in JC1 things are also quite taxing but at least it’s more manageable. I don’t stay back in school that late nor do I stay back that often. These days I go to school before the sun rises and I reach home when the sun had set. It’s dark when I get to school and also dark when I get back.

To see the sun when I get back is a huge privilege these days.

There isn’t much time for me to do anything when I leave school so late (around 7 plus). By the time I reach home, it’s already 8plus. Factor in dinner and bathing time and it’s nearly 9 already. That leaves me with at most 2 hours plus to finish up whatever work that I have.

To sum it up in a few words. I’VE GOT NOT ENOUGH TIME! Well, what can I say? I’ve got no choice except to endure….Everyone’s feeling the busyness and the hecticness too. Just live with it…..Till then, see ya!

It was great counting down the days leading to CNY. It was great anticipating the time CNY is about to come. But when the time comes, it just simply zooms past so quickly that I felt the time spent back in Malaysia was just a short period only.

During the CNY break, I practically traveled the whole of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. I covered like 90% of the North-South highway? I came from Singapore, travelled all the way north to KL to get home. Slept one night in Puchong before spending the eve of CNY at my dad’s place in Seremban. Spent 1st day of CNY in Seremban before coming back to Puchong to sleep. At 4 am, Dad travelled north all the way to Penang to get to Mom’s place. Again, spent another night in Penang before we head home for Puchong the following night at 9pm. Slept at Puchong again before I head down south to Singapore the following afternoon.

So I was like travelling from South to Central to North to Central and to the South again during the few days CNY break.

Crazy? But it’s enjoyable. Lots of travelling, but kinda tiring for the person who did all the driving - Dad….

Anyway, it’s back to HecticLand once again - Singapore…..My blog posting will be less and less frequent from now on. And my guess is there will be lesser pixs…Not much time to do all the necessary editing (resizing etc) to put pixs up here. This is A-level year. Gotta study hard. No choice…Lots of homework…Lots of things to study….

Anyway, just to brighten up the blog post, I decided that I’ll put up a pix here….I was playing through Photoshop a few days back to kill off some boredom and edited one of my pixs. Just to put it up here. Am thinking of using this pix for my display pix or for my future customised blog template design….

I think this will be the earliest blog post wishing everyone a very very happy chinese new year. I’m just plain excited even though it’s still a good 3++ days to go. I’m going home, going home, going home. To visit relatives living outstation, meeting with overseas aunts, uncles and cousins. The thought of eating scrumptious cookies and cny delicacies…..the prospect of getting ang paos…..

Ah….i just love chinese new year like crazy even after 18 years of existence here….the spirit has not died off yet. i’m leaving singapore on tuesday night, and only coming back on sunday afternoon. not a very long break, but at least it’s better than last year…..

anyway, shall stop here now. gong xi fa cai to all my readers here! may the year of the rat bring you good health, success and lots of prosperity!!!

Because of the hectic schedule that I have down here in Singapore, I didn’t realise how fast one week has just zoomed past. Without much realisation, I just noticed that my last update on this blog was last Tuesday.

1 week per update. That’s quite bad right? Not that I have a lot of time now to update my blog, but suddenly felt guilty of not updating my blog. And looking at how my plans for the next few days will be, I know very well that if I don’t write some stuff here today, it’s gonna be another 1 week (or Sunday) before I blog here again.

Life’s been hectic. Saturday was a very very fun day. Do not have any time to laze around and be with myself, but the camaraderie and activities that I have the whole day is really fun and worth every single minute of it. OK, at least not the school stuff in the morning but the hostel’s activities in the afternoon and at night was uber fun.

Saturday morning, I was in school to attend a Values Workshop. The school revised its values and we as student leaders are getting a preview of the new values. Well at least the 5 new values that the school places makes a lot more sense and meaning to the students. It’s pragmatic with just 5 words, making it so-not onerous to remember them like the old values.

It’s so easy to remember, we even created an acronym for it. I Can Learn School Song. Integrity, Commitment, Learning, Social Conscience, Synergy.

Anyway, in the afternoon, my hostel had Orientation Games. I’m the House Captain for the Green House and it was indeed great leading a house of 70 people playing games, doing cheers and most excitingly smashing water bombs! This is so different from school’s orientation. We could smash water bombs at our Assistant House Masters, House Masters, and some even bold ones threw water bombs at the Executive Director.

We didn’t win the Best House for Orientation Games but nevertheless I enjoyed myself tremendously being the House Captain. I feel like I have so much freedom doing the things that I like with the house. And more importantly having the budget to implement it. We might be having some other Movie Outings soon. Soon after Chinese New Year…..Oh btw I’m going back soon! So happy!

Anyway, kinda length here….I’m gonna try obtain some photos for the Orientation Games and I’ll update with some other pictures on my handphone that I have taken recently….When’s my next update gonna be? This Sunday? Hopefully….coz if it’s not it might just be after CNY alr!
