[Twentieth] Long time no post!!

Haha. I am writing this just for Jacy's sake. THANK ME OR ELSE...

Anyway, I am so so so sorry for like not updating so long. My enthusiasm for blogging has died out. But I will try to maintain my blog (: Since I haven't been blogging for so long, I will be covering CNY to ... until the first week of school. It's going to be a long post so bear with me!! Thanks :D

Due to the economic crisis, I think I received fairly little ang bao money this year. About $300 only. Normally the sum would be up to $400 or some where near there. But the main thing is not about $. CNY is about having FUN!! Well, as per usual, reunion dinner is at my house, where all my close relatives came. The food was awesome :D:D This year, besides all the usual dishes like curry chicken, yu piao soup, abalone and chap chye, we had chicken with wine and fish with asam curry

For the first day of CNY, I went to my maternal grandparents place :) The homemade pineapple tarts were delicious :D Just sat there, didn't do much. Didn't quite interact with anyone there.

Second day: My mother's cousin came to visit us (: Again, there was little interaction although the cousin's daughter was here (She's only sec 1 or 2) Then I went to my mom's friend's place. The barbequed chicken wing was finger licking good :P HAHA. I think I am such a greedy pig. Almost every post which has anything to do with food, I will comment on it. I played taiti with the friend's children. Their rules are slightly different from mine. But who cares? I WON ABOUT 5 ROUNDS!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!! Sadly, no money is involved D:

This is the end of the CNY part.


Now to the waiting of the posting results [I can't really remember much about this]

30 January 2009.

12 noon. (barely awake)

Using mozilla firefox to go to the MOE website.

Keyed in my NRIC number.

Results: You have been posted to Anderson Junior College.

I was like "okay. now what?"

IT WAS A REALLY STRANGE FEELING... quite hard to describe. Seems like I wasn't too happy to get into aj. But it wasn't really disappointed or anything... AHH. Let's just skip this trying-to-describe-the-feeling-but-i-cannot-express-it part okay?

Haha. Then I went to the rj and hci website to appeal. And rj wanted my prelim results. WHAT?! *rubs eyes* *gasp* *shock* *horror* I SCORED LIKE A BLOODY L1R5 OF 18 FOR MY PRELIMS. This is so unfair. It's not a good gauge because I personally think that st nicks prelims were tough. AHH. Anyway, I proceeded with feeling up the forms and submitting it online. Then rj said something like it is up to the college whether I will get the subject combi I want. Then I am like... OMG. Subject combi is super important to me so if I am not assured that I will get the subjects I want, I am not willing to take the risk. As for hc, I decided not to go there because it is too far. Conclusion: I wasted a day to fill up the appeal form online D:

End of posting results. Next on to the first week of JC life (:

Actually, I shouldn't have put that smiley face there because it wasn't a very interesting week and I am lazy to delete it. (My computer is currently lagging and everything is slowing down to a crawl)

The first day was like epic boring. Firstly, there was an welcome talk by the principal, which was not too bad, but a little long. Then it was 3 three talks by nus, ntu and smu. The first speaker (I shall not mention which uni he is from) was slow and boring and dragged time. By then we had no mood to listen to the second and third speaker. And the worse thing is that WE DIDN'T HAVE A PROPER BREAK TO EAT ): I was practically starving (my stomach was growling. super embarrassing) Thankfully, my father brought me to eat later when school ended at about 2pm. I was quite sad on the first day because there were torturous speeches and I simply missed everyone. FYI, there isn't close to me in aj. So it was quite depressing for me.

Second to fourth day: Nothing much, just buying school uniform (which I think I look fabulous in it) and more talks, introductory lectures.

Fifth day: Finally some games and dance. However, I must say that the student council wasn't very good at making people high. It was more like people zi-highing. It was kind of sian at first. But I guess we slowly warmed up (: But by 12 noon, everyone was starving because there's no proper break to eat again. OH, my mg (matriculation group) got called up to the stage because we didn't manage to arrange ourselves in our name's alphabetical order. Then we were called to do that peel banana forfeit. Like WTH already... The worse part is that someone had to lead and I, being the REALLY LUCKY ONE, got choosen. The feeling was horrible. I have no face already la!!

It's quite sad that I can no longer wear the st nicks uniform anymore. I have been wearing that for 10 years and asking me to wear a new one, it's much more than a change of fashion. Sigh.

Last words of the day: I love all my friends. I would promise to keep in touch with all of you okay? If you would like to contact me... you can do so by sending me an sms!! I have a handphone already!! Reach me at XXXXXXXX!! Don't you think the number is so special? The number has all numbers except for 0 and 1 :P (Don't tell me to get a life)
