Sch reopen

School going to start in just a few more hours... Dreading this week a lot...

Deadline of 3 assignments... 2 e-journal reviews and 1 video project... I'm so not lookin forward to going back to school! before long will be end of semester with all e horrifying examinations!!! AHHHH~~~ psst~ can we just fast forward to after tt please *look with big innocent puppy eyes*

Truly back into it this time round... Full focus? *shrug* All I know for now is that I'm dng my best to commit as much I can... To offer as much as I could... How things will turn out ultimately, only time can tell... How others going to see me isn't as important as how I truly feel in me...



The first thing that had came to my mind prior to this post was: What had I gotten myself into?!?!

In 2009

In 2009...

...I watch 45 movies,which including 2 marathons.

1st marathon was with BTP, watching 3 Pixel movies @ cineleisure... 2nd movie maranthon was wid Da, watching Twilight and New Moon @ vivocity... Totally love it ^^ The rest? Practically all wid Deardear... From animation to action to horror... Average ard 1 movie each week! GOSH!! Thanks to the GV movie card that leemei help me get, the Cathay gift card that XiaoYi give me as well as being a study... manage to save quite a lot on movie... n also that sometime, deardear sponsor me for the movies~

Oh, and not forgettin that it's the 1st time I watch an after-midnight movie, on Boxing day with Deardear


...I went for 2 oversea trips during the winter season.

1st trip was to Sydney, Australia as a study trip with my clique and Mr Khaw... Totally love the weather there. And not forgettin that it was the 1st time going oversea without my family...

2nd trip was to Korea with family... Didn't enjoy as much I had for Australia... But pretty much enjoy it... Tried out skiing, making own kimchi, wearing the traditional korea costume... And not forgettin caught tt little snowflake~


...I signed up for 5 membership
1st: Jigsaw Puzzle world membership, with S$250 purchase I tink. Got hook to jigsaw puzzle in Jan... And had been buying jigsaw almost monthly... Except for aug to oct period? Had tried out different jigsaws. My favourite? The panorama as well as those miniature jigsaw... Not forgetting that I compeleted 2 set of 1000 pieces jigsaw... ^^ But yet to complete that 2000 piece winnie and friend jigsaw (wonder when I gng to complete that??)

2nd: Action City membership in Jan, with S$50 purchase... Had sign up when I bought my jelly-lens... But didn't really use that card cuz hardly go Action City to buy anything.

3rd: Made with Love membership in July, with min of S$5 purchase... That was when I get very very into cards making and stamping. Started to invest in stamping as well as crafting material. Actually, this is more of a loyalty card then membership...

4th: Junior De Artist membership in Aug, I think? Had sign up cause of the great promotion offered to the members. And boy am I glad to sign up for this, even though this is the most expensive membership that I had sign up... S$120!!! But brcause of the membership, I had save $500+ in the purcahse that I made in the following month. And not forgettin that the goodie bag is totally worth it ^^

5th: Popular student membership card in Dec. Mom help me sign up for this as she feel that I need it pretty often. And having two cards at home will be more convenient since me and my sister keep kopin the card and forget to put it back.


...I got my license!

Sign up in late Feb... Cleared by BTT on the 1st try, FTT on the 2nd try and finally TP on the 1st try (nope not 3rd try -.-)... 1st lesson was on the last week of May, taught by Paul... And the next lesson was all the way in July... One reason cause there isn't much slot left in June and that I went oversea as well...

It was fun learnin to drive, even though manual can be a lil bit more troublesome, as need to control the clutch. But somehow, I prefer the manual one more... Perhaps it's because I'm use to drivin that? *cross finger that I get to drive durin CNY)

Got my license on the last day of 2009. What a good way to end 2009 ^^


...I had non-family member sleeping over

Fel was the 1st non-family to sleepover at my hse. Original plan was stayin over at her camp... but due to circumstances, ended up at my hse...

Deardear being the 2nd to stayover... Had went for an after-midnight movie @ amkhub... Ended at 4am, and deardear don't want to waste money on cab... And see-ing that I'm very tired, he pei me home and keep coaxin me to go rest... Ended up I fall aslp next to him, while he's usin the com in my livin rm...


... I had a sleepover at a frien house

Sleepover at fel hse... which, prior to that, she came all the way to amk to look for me at work and take the train with me to her hse... Her maid cook a super duper nice dinner!


... I had lots of emotion sea-sawing

Emotions really on a sea-saw this year... Ups and Downs... Not that a lot of stuff happen physically around me, more like mentally, emotionally and psychogically...

Break down in April had impact me so badly that I nearly did something that I'll regret. But thanks to those around me, who been offering a hand to me each and everytime, I woke up, I stood back up.

Too much going on inside me, that lead to many little meltdowns and another breakdown. In a way, I'm glad for this happening, for it had enable me to see, who are the ones who are really there for me, concern about me. Those who had been there for me, thanks for the listening ear, the shoulder to cry on, the lending hands and most importantly, the time and effort.


... I had lost some, gain some

Lost some friendships
Gain some friendships.
Lost some naiveness
Gain some experience.
Gain some new skills

In a way, 2009 had been an eye-opening year for me. A year that I had accept quite a few stuff, which I had realise of previously, but just won't accept. It's a way that I see certain stuff clearer and better. It's a year that I start to make changes around me.

Friendships, cca, work... Each had a lesson, a trial, an obstacle... providin me a chance to learn, to gain experience, to grow. And it also became chance that cause me to change.



Overall, 2009 had been really eventful. It had been both a great and a bad year for me. But I know, things happened for a reason. I may not know why it happen, but in due time, I'll find out. Like how certain stuff in the past had lead to what I may have gone through or will be going through this year.

All I hope is that, 2010 will be a better year.

End of Common Test

Finally e end of common test n e holidays are here...

Though still lots of assignments to clear up...

2 weeks to enjoy... But many many stuff to do~~~

Collaboration invitation cards. Journal review. Confirmation with teachers. AHHH~~~~

But there's fun time too~ can't wait for the parties on 26th and 31th dec... as well as the pitstop outing on 29th~


Holiday HERE I COME!

Thots

Seems to have lots of stuff going through my mind currently. School, CCA, relationship, and whatever there is that I yet to be able to categorise into...

School:
Just had one quiz down... and 5 paper to go next week. Then it will be 2 weeks break. Projects and stuff... Glad that most lab pract are over and done with. So left with projects to settle.

Pretty vex over PDD product. Wish it can really just turn out the way it ought to be. Solutions were offered by others, perhaps ought to take it up? Couldn't help but ask myself, why did I even choose to do on snowskin mooncake when both me and my groupmate didn't try it before. And best thing is? mooncake isn't in the season now... zZz

Things are pretty manageable, but just confusing. Don't want to think so much into it le.


CCA:
in just a few days later, it marks the end of SA for me. 2 years. That's how long it been. Lots of stuff that happen which I half wish it didn't, especially for this 1 year. But still, I'm glad to be in this cca, for it have bring friendships to me. Experiences that I would never forget. Dreading, yet looking forward to it at the same time. *shrug*

as for the other cca. I really wish things are resolved and settled by ytd. I can't help but wonder, it is a wrong move all along? The decision to join, to stop for a period of time, to resume, to be a better leader. Or perhaps, all these shouldn't have been done? To leave it as how it is 2 years ago? It seems to be, if that was done, things will be less complicated now?

But like I always say, things happen for a reason and with each decision comes along with a mark that is left. A mark that is not removable, it may fade, but not gone. But, in a way, it feel as if those marks and decisions are huanting me, questioning me if this is indeed what I decided on, if I'm able to face up to the consequence of those decisions.

Thinking too much? Perhaps I am. Things can be rather simple. But they ain't, when things are interlope with other stuffs, like priorities, or even relationship.

It still boils down to how much I willing to sacrifice isn't it? But to sacrifice, you have to know the priority. All I know for myself is that, I'm a 1st-come-1st-book kinda person. I don't like cancel out on people or events. And that's the way I been doing things. However, it seems that to some, I'm not prioritizing my stuff well, that I'm not putting enough effort. If there are people doubting my skill, I'm ok with it, because there is still a lot more that I need to learn, to improvise on. Yet, commitment being questioned, that's one thing that I find it hard to accept.

Relationship:
Not that anything is screwed up or what. But just that there been too many bumps and hiccups this year. Some got back on course and moving along well, yet some had fall off the course and gone in a totally different direction. I hate it when I feel/have the impression that I'm being blame for the drifting etc in the relationship. It's a two way thing, it takes two hands to clap. I don't deny, I'm taking some for granted at times, that I seem to be can't be bother with it at times. It gets really weary at times, if it keep happening again and again, around the same issue. I learn about not holding too tightly, afterall, people comes and goes, even for the bestest friends.

Been thinking about quite some stuff, especially about future. And chat with my PDD mate had left me thinking. Both of us pretty much share the same mindset. Now, the thing is no about how we think, but rather, how much of it will be put in action? 100%? 50%? or perhaps 0%?




Lost in a way. Yet seems to be in 'control' in another.


Time is too short for regrets. Before you know it, dec will be over, 2009 will be over. On the last day of 2009, a reflection is indeed needed...

HOLIDAY HERE I COME!!! ^^

MFGG gangshow '09

One year plus... That's how long since the last time I stepped into MFSS... No thanks to some stuff that happened...

Seriously, it's so hard to please Edith, you know? She been trying to psycho me to go since the confirmation of the campfire. I kept telling her that I won't be going as I have plans on that day le, after she informed me that the gangshow is postpone to 1st August. Not lying anyway. I did have plans on that day. But in actual fact, I had decided to go. The only person who know about that is Felicia. In a way she's the one that manage talk me through and psycho me to go la.

Went to the canteen to check with the juniors where are the rest. Then went to guides' room to help them with moving of the brick to the hall. And that's when that Edith blurt out: Eh Jie, why you here?! =.= talk about giving her a surprise. sheesh~

And that's when I started to get busy. Having to attend event and stuff cause of my current cca, StageArts, I ended up helping them with backstage, lightings and sounds as well as projection thingy.

First thing that I did was helping them with taping down the wire for the spotlight. Then help to calm Samathan down as she having stage fright. Glad to manage to calm her down. Then went to backstage to help Joey with settling of which lights to use for which sectment of the gangshow. And then I'm practically stuck there after that, as Joey had asked for my help.

To be frank, it's a whole different experience I have for a campfire/gangshow. Afterall, how many people will get to work backstage for a campfire/gangshow, especially since you're an alumni.

Being stage manager during SA event help me. And in a way, I shared those experience and knowledge with them yesterday. Joey, Xiao Wei, Samathan and Cheryl. Those who were at the backstage. Things can get a little chaotic. But as long as you're keeping check of what you have to do, things will run smoothly. Having those experience, in a way, aids me to help assuring them and enable them to be less stress during the event.

I didn't have much time to really enjoy the event with my fellow alumni. However, it has became something memorable for me. The different attitude in this batch of girls compared to the previous ones.

You girls may have little manpower. Remember, quality still override quatity. Do a good job in maintaining and improving guides. Sooner or later, people will see that MFGG is better than what they expected. I have faith in you girls.

I guess, in a way, going back for the gangshow last night have renew my passion for guides, especially for MFGG.

Committee

I can't help but wonder... how is e committee bein chosen? who is e 1 havin e say for hu to be put into e position of head n assistant head of each department?


Somehow... I startin to question on e decision being made...

Haix

Soon... it gng to b 1 month... time do fly...


reading those blogs... thots jus keep comin to my mind...


it's bad enough that your efforts are not appreciated... it's worse to know that your intentions are misunderstood...


has my judgment been wrong? or are they being pulled to e other side? afterall, it won't b hard for dem to b pulled to the other side no? since dey will be able to c onli 1 side of e story... do dey noe abt our side of story??


i guess... gng back will not b 1 of e options anymore...


now all i hope to get is just an explanation and conclusion to everything... i no longer holdin to any hope tt thing will turn out e way i hope it will b...

CCA...

A friend once asked me: why bother about joining cca, when i don't even plan to go Uni... To him, it's just a waste of time and effort.

It got me thinking... it really did... make me think about my aim and purpose to join cca...

In Secondary School, we're practically 'forced' to join a cca. No cca? you'll get questioned by the HOD of cca...

But that's not the point. I join because of a certain liking to it. Every cca will have its pros and cons. Uniform group may be tough. But there fun side to it too. I learn to love it, to develop my passion in it, though there were times that i do dislike the activity that was done, like drills.

I learn quite a lot from Girl Guides. Outdoor cooking, drill, planning of major events, camping skills. Not forgetting the fact that I know my besties from GG... The hard time, the fun time... it just make up a large part of my secondary school life. I seriously can't imagine how different my secondary school life would be without GG... It is GG that shape me up, to be who I am now.

And that's why I choose to continue GG as an external cca, despite that it was not consider as an cca in my school. Or maybe I should say, I joined Y.A. (young adult) as the external cca. Yes I have to set aside time. Yes I have to put in more effort. But what I gain are the experiences, something that is priceless. And the sence of acheivement. I guess, that something that is priceless and irreplaceble too...

Perhaps, the time spent in Secondary School cca kinda 'hook' me to cca? It really feel weird without a cca. Like there's no purpose in going to school, other than to get that diploma cert.

I joined an arts related cca, SA. Not the dance or drama, but rather as a backstage crew. A whole new experience. A whole new skill.

Being just 1 of the members in 1 of the 4 departments, it's kinda of scary to work with the whole big family. The first time working with the rest of the family, it really scare me off, especially when I just join not long ago and had only went for 1 event at that point of time. Bt two other big events change my mindset. and now I can't wait to work with the rest of the family again.

Perhaps, it was the recognisation from the seniors in the cca. It feels different when you get remember by a senior and when you don't. It make you feel more like part of the big family. I know, cause in GG, I wasn't really remembered by my seniors, 2 years before me. But for SA, I was remembered by the seniors, the seniors from the committee. not to mention that at the point of time, I didn't even know who is who, much less who is the committee member.

CCA... I joined, not because of the point I get to earn. But because of the experience I get to gain. The friends I get to make.

CCA... it's not a point earning system. It's more than just putting in time and effort for it.

Now let me ask you... Why have you join/joined a cca?

A passion?

I can't help but wonder... if students join cca for the sake of joining... or do they really have the passion for what they join?

what my gg juniors did really hurtin... do they really have the passion to be in it in the first place? or did they join so as to get their cca point?

the life they got now in that cca is way easier that me or my seniors had... yet... when we tried to toughen them up, complain letter n petition against us... for goodness sake... it's an uniform group!! you don't join it to have a leisure time... if you can't even take that little training we have for you, don't complain. your own juniors can do way better than you!

skip the training camp that we, ex-seniors, have put in to much effort to plan for you gals... only the lower sec juniors turn up and stay throughout the whole 3 days... even the sec 4 who should have step down came for the camp... what about you gals? only 2 turn up and didn't even stay thoughout the 1st day...

be truthful, you gals know that your attitude isn't that well... and what's your responses were? because the ex-seniors came back, so you gals don't want to attend the meeting... what kind of reason is that?

it's not the ex-seniors want to take over the meeting or whatsoever... we don't want to see it fall... for something that we have build up so painfully... prove to us that you can manage it well... and we won't interfer... but your own attendances for the meeting were way worse than your seniors n juniors...

threaten to quit just because you can't get the company leader post... forget it... that's not a passion... that's just power hungry... you just want the power...

i see more potential in the lower sec juniors to build up the cca way better than you gals... they may be inexperience... but they have the passion in them...

what's the point of having the quantity? when the quality is not even there?

cca... have you join because of the passion for it? or just for the sake of having a cca? for the sake of that cca point? what's the point of joining, if you hate it so much? if you don't have the passion for it?

it hurt to know what happen last week... it hurts more when i realise no one update me about anything that had happened...

cca... is it a passion? or is it a contract to get a better future?

i don't deny that there were times that i wonder if i truly have the passion for the cca i joining... Girl Guide, TMT... do i really have the passion in it?

Truthfully, quitting guides had never cross my mind... maybe cause i truly enjoy my times in Guiding... the skills i learn, the friends i made... It shaped me up... If anyone ask me what i miss about my sec sch life... Girl Guides will alway be the ans... those great memories... it just made up too much of my sec sch life... i can't imagine how different my sec sch life will be without Girl Guides...

StageArts, TMT... the cca that Amin recommend to me... the cca that i join early this year... the cca that may have small number... though so far i only been to 1 TMT event... yes 1 only... but i really enjoy myself... a different exposure... new stuff to learn...

it was the StageArts event that really made me feel part of it... SA night n SA camp... working with people from the different departments... having noticed by the seniors in StageArts... funny how Club Crawl nearly cause me to be scare to be part of the big family... but SA night and SA camp change my mindset... i can't wait to work with the different departments again...

i have to admit, my passion for those cca will not get as much as how andreas's, putri's or erny's passion to them... but i'm willing to do my best for it... for i have choose to join them... i don't join for the cca point... rather, i join to gain experiences...

cca... it's a passion... not a point gaining system... it's more than just putting in time and effort for it...

Opinion n feelin

I wish ppl jus tell me straight in e face den to say it behind my back or in deir blog... it hurts more to read it... den to hear straight frm a person...



denyin it wen i ask abt it... fine... i shall treat it as i tink too much... bt to c a similar post soon aft... obviously targetin @ me... i really rather u jus say it straight into my face...



mayb i shld jus wash my hands off everything it ends... since to u... i'm e 1 in e wrong... e 1 wid e wrong thinkin n mindset... e 1 hu is against ur way of work... u n i noe wad exactly i'm referrin abt...

bein some1 hu really concern abt timin... was pretty stressed up weneva dere's delay or drag of timin... i guess... it's not jus me isn't it? zul too rite... he was busyin keepin track of e timin @ backstage...

thanx erny n amin for e assurance :) it mean a lot... kinda of freak out c-in how e programme keep pushin back... ur words kinda of calm me down... thanx~~

patrick help out for registration... while me n shavien rushin ard to get thing done... checkin wid e ppl if dey r ready... notin e time to open e door for entrance... blah blah... hectic~~ n of cuz time was push back by 10min... w8 for rabia's signal to officially start e event...

e hosts r amin n anjana... dey're really great... gettin e atmosphere up... turnin thing ard wen prob pop up... esp aft amin's dance performance tt time :P Great work amin... bein e host, dancer n actor for tt event alone...

openin performance by e dance is awesome... e feelin depicted by colours... a nice openin for e event... cuz its theme is WACKY COLOURS~~ den follow by speech by Farhanah n Rabia... den 1st game... Drama by yr 2... den 2nd game... den break...

e drama by yr 2 is abt how a mother always love her child... really touchin... Ilham seem pretty stress up for tis... cuz of e reaction tt e juniors gif n stuff... bt i guess... no matter hu it is... will b pretty stress up too... he keep apologisin for losin his temper n stuff

was AS durin e break... cuz by e amt of time tt was dragged... n how things seem to b screwed up... n it's jus e 1st half!!! T.T mood gt really down~~ thanx Shavien for draggin me out to take e break wid u n patrick... if not i tink i would haf break down in e rm >.<>

placed patrick @ backstage to help me gather ppl... since he dun haf to help out for lightin or sound... gt e hang of bein stage manager by den... things run smoother aft e break... except durin e runway tt time due to miscommunication >.<

1st dance... den yr 3 drama... best costume award... runway show by MCH... song item by eunice n kaye... closin by dance... n last min decision... an encore of song item agn...

something crop up aft e dance... regardin changin of costume by amin... bt like i say... e host r GREAT!! anjana come to entertain e audience wen amin still tryin to fix e prob... n wad's funny is tt though e prob didn't really get fix... amin still come out... n wen e audience asked abt it... he say it's e latest fashion... LoL... great 1 :P

yr 3 drama is abt life... how ppl react to certain things n stuff... really great actin by e seniors... i love tis drama... esp e 2nd scene... i'm i/c of lightin n sound for tis... sad to say... something wrong wid e sound~~ argh~~ dunno y bt e sound jus won't play tru e speaker~~ *faint* bt glad tt manage to settle tt prob :)
