The Final 8 minutes of 2008


Well, I'd say its been an interesting year,
From when I entered the school, I changed a WHOLE LOT.
Learned pretty much too.
I'd say 2009 is a new year.
Happy or not? I guess I choose the latter.

But well, I always look on the brightside of life :)

Deadified

ACS made me a wackier person, IB made me a sadder person.
Nullified, I am per normal.
I think..

Theres so many things to do, so many expectations to meet,
so many things to settle WAHHHHHHH!

Oh MAN

Terrible terrible.
Terrible.

AMAZING

Heehee. Its the last week for TLL,
GOSH! I actually survived 7 weeks of 9 to 6 work!
Seriously, I have got to thank the other TLL participants for keeping me sane.
Not that I can get more insane..Hohoho.
Well, it is a bit SAD that I have to start using more of my brains,
and no longer get the spoon feeding during research.

Running has became quite a bit of my worries,
Talked a bit to another crossie and it seems like my foundation for running is done for!
I really didn't expect when I made the choice to put Choir first, this would happen...
My fitness has plummet to the depths of the earth's crust.
I can't sing very well too! And yet, I put quite a bit of mind into it.
Okay, I must admit I don't do ALOT of work ( Thank you VPs!)
Probably the only thing I get is the stress. Mmhmm.

Dead Meat, Dead Beat

WELL! The good side of things are that I FINALLY finished my TLL projects!
Poster, Presentation, DONE!
Yay!
Yet now, its a roller coaster ride in studies.

I have yet to touch a single book from school,
I have yet to touch the chem holiday package,
I have yet to touch TOK
I have yet to read Paddy
I have yet to read Ms Julie (Yet to buy..)
I have yet to re-read the lit texts

I have SO much things to do for Choir.
I have TO RUN. If not, I am a disgrace to myself.

Y6.
UH OH!
:O

Defeated

OKAY! FINE!
I LOSE!
Hahaha.
I'm trying to have a life but apparently, its IMPOSSIBLE.

Yesterday's concert was SHOCKING.
Well, ACS Choir has to work hard.
We can do it! But it takes EVERY SINGLE PERSON'S dedication.

Yes, life-less.
Either than coming home late due to attachement and trying to rush EE or TOK, or even attachment work O_O
my attempts to go out FAILS. xD

Well well well,
that's a jet life.

Nostalgia

Well, I was finding my presentation slides for TLL
(couldn't find it! Means I must go there early tommorow!)
and I accidentally opened something I didn't open for A VERY LONG TIME.

Looking at those files just makes my heart sink,
In a nice way, I look back at those smiling times,
but at the same time, it just screams that its never coming back.

I find it awkward that I am able to laugh at my old plight,
Yet, it is quite queer.

Its quite sad, just very sad,
what I've been through,
and now,
hardly either party open our auricle muscles.

Past
The leaves this summer,
never those leaves that summer.
From the chlorphyll to the lamina,
It is different to me.

The leaves that used to talk,
dance, play, walk, smile.
Gone.

Deomposed, lost to the cold ground.
The leaves regrow, yet,
its not it.
The way it flutters in the wind,
the way it reflects light.
Everything is new,
Cold,
Fake.

One day,
I hope, the old leaves will be taken up by that very tree.
That day, the summer leaves will be the same.
That day, the summer leaves will be the same.

LIPIDS

shit,

im getting fat

EXPERIENTIAL

Ran a half-marathon without running for a month. Not exactly the wisest move. It just felt like the first time I ran 10km. Well, bad timing. I didn't expect much. All I expected was to keep running.

Hmm. Dug in a bin. That's something I never thought I would ever do. Yes, I was finding something. Point is, that thing wasn't even in the bin. Heehee. Won't tell you which hand it was! Anyway, I dumped half a bottle of hand sanitizer on it. It SHOULD be germ free.

YUP!

xD

Hyperactivity

Put me in a building for 9 hours.
In a single room for 3 hours straight nearly everyday.
On one chair.
I don't blame myself for HYPERACTIVITY.

My life has became mundane.

Stuff I look foward to would be LUNCH and HOME.

Others would be free moments where I plonk myself on the couch and read
"The New Yorker" 's Fiction Section.

Luckily I have an AMAZING supervisor.

Ho! Yesterday was rush rush rush!
The day at TLL. 9-6
Singing Rehersals. 6.30-9.15
CANDY EMPIRE :O 9.50-10.00 9
(yes it is so important that it deserves a slot!xD)
Terminal 1 10.10 - 11.20
Taxi 11.30- 11.50
Home 12.00

Busy Fizzy Dizzy!

Sleep...

Today was just exhausting.
BLEH.

But sad in a way that the only thing left through this entire holidays is ee, tok and attachement.

sighs

What in the World is Happening to the WORLD

Mumbai. Why? Why?
Whats with all the carnage?
We have people killing the planet already with all the global warming,
and everyday, we act as though NOTHING is happening.

I can' stand it.
The chaos just irks me.

In some ways, when people say we are civilised,
I doubt it.
We are still uncivilised,
Everyone is killing everyone,
Just that its slowly, quietly and cleverly.

Disgusting.
Competitive.
Shit.

Presently...

Tired. Tired. Tired.
Hahaha.
It came to a point that instead of sleeping NEXT to my supervisor,
my eyelids drooped right infront of him while he was talking to me.
yikes!
I thought the days where i required that hormone is over!

Sheesh. It would REALLY be boring with Choir off-ed for the year.
Gosh!
Going for TLL is like doing ANOTHER EE.
Don't I hate EE's?
Heh

I have yet to read any academically inclined material
Year 6. Uh oh...

And talking to a possible future European citizen doesn't work.
Its sad to the extreme.
Frankly, I should have expected all THIS for this hols!

Isn't it called the monsoon season?
Hahahhahahaha

Work Work...

AW MAN

It was an amazing Friday and Saturday.
I just lost a great number of hours of sleep

It was great to be with the kiddos of Chinese Orchestra
They are just so CUTE
Hahaha.
It sounds paedophilic
Though, with the kids its the same, with the facilitators, its different.

Everything is changing.
AHHHH!

Horrible
Horrible
Horrible
Holidays

THOUGH! I am looking foward to Post Choral Exchange...

Sighs

what a lifestyle.
rountine.

8-9am : Choir
9am-6pm: Research Attachment
6-7pm: Break
7-8pm: Dinner
8pm < : Work.

And I have absolutely hardly anytime to run.

Holidays? I mean, WHAT!?

Sheesh.
And everything is so darn demanding.

I wonder why am I still smiling away
Hahahahha.
:)

Rojak

That's what I feel. like, essentially, mixed. There is the sweet, sour, salty and bitter.
You eat something sweet, you forget about the bitter and you eat something bitter and it stays there till a lot more sweet get you good again.
Bitter-sweet!

Its really a HORROR missing SO MANY choir practices! GOSH!!
I HAVE YET TO LEARN THE SET PIECE.
And I have EE to do because plants don't wait for you!
At the same time Research Attachment is every moment!
TOK!!!
Fizzy Busy

Defining Moments of the Week:

-Interacting more with the other TLL Participants!
-Getting to see HCI and NJC Choir EXCO again at HCI!
-Counting 1797 Pollen Grains
-Playing with the Secondary School Choir
- Finally, seeing the sunshine give a momentary smile today, priceless.

The Summer's Smile
Her cheeks wrinkles like the sun's golden hues,
And though dimple-less,
Its there, I know it,
Like stars in the day.

Ah! Those eyes.
Glowing with passion,
Sparkling with zest.
A mornining glory and its dew.

Hummingbirds sung their happy songs,
everything had gone along.

Yet, the spherical blue-green monster does not wait.
Authmn then Winter.
Elephant hides cover the skies.
What is happening?

I long for Summer's Smile,
though aware of the absence.
It will be there, I know it,
Snow will melt,
Leaves will grow,
and I may never let go.

Jet's Wonder of the World

I WONDER, if its possible to cry till you dehydrate?
Hmmm..

from the top!
hello!
hahaha. its the dawn of a new day :)

Everything restarts. Somebody tripped over the wires!
One day may not be enough to recover but in time to come, I hope I will ;)
Hmm, I really ought to be working hard!

Priorities:
Choir
Attachment
Run
Academics

:)
I should be going to my secondary 4 regime of not using msn on weekdays xD
It should help.

Oh, what wonderful holidays!

creativity PLEASE!
Hahaha. i want to complain!
My jokes should be copyrighted. GOSH!

Deans was messed up real bad due to the rain.
Had a wonderful tea/dinner
Coffee Club Burger and Mudpie
Oh gosh, I shouldn't have talked to them anyway, haha, kinda makes things worse! xD
anywhos, we bumped into mr ho! hahahha
1 in 4million chance

Haha, sometimes,
I wished I stayed only in Cross Country.
sighs.
But Choir, is awesome, most of the times,
the WONDERFUL secondary ones!

sleeping is an essential thing these days,
tired tired very tired.

I'm fine!

And the flower that we're working on!

posh gosh!
the research attachment is pretty cool and fun.
people there are friendly and nice
its a pretty place

my research?
well its on a certain species of flower.
arabidopsis i think.
its really small. trust me

and i will spend most of my time counting the number of mutant types and normal types of pollen grains of these minature flowers. haha.
well, the cool part is really the reason for all the things that pops out from the microscope.
to prepare the slides itself is a herculean task for me.

the only down side of it is that for the only 2 talks i had,
i fell asleep in both.
and also, your eyes and head gets goofy after staring through the microscope for too long a time.

choir choir,
its running well i suppose, not perfect though.
time has to be squeezzzzzzzed

busy,
keeps my mind off things!
