graduation's over! so fast.. last saturday, i was digging for photos for kbong, just finished the class box. on tuesday, we had news about the totem pole, and then went on another night spree to get the symbols up for the others to draw. slogged through two more days of school (though thursday was considerably better and more fruitful) and then friday came.
slept late, so woke up barely on time and rushed out. no breakfast. ): reached school and once people arrived, we started on the pole. it was quite difficult at first to finish kbong's symbol but i managed to do the basic outline and then left the rest to another person. and had to do that "you help this part? and you do that part." thing and make sure everyone was involved.. but basically the class got together and we all did something. (: was quite tired and hungry by the time the pole was up and ready to be presented to the school. but then, i didn't get to eat potluck because it was time to go for the ceremony. >< bahh.
ceremony was pretty okay. kept awake by the need to do stuff for magcomm. the videos were really good and so was bp's sarcasm and suaning towards the later part of his address. were given our grad stuff and the mementoes.. a dvd with video montages and photos. a very nice gift i would say.
so after ceremony and phototaking went to clear the class, sweep, did all the usual logs stuff. gave each classmate a film as i wanted to. farewell gift. (: quite fun. we stayed in class till we had to return the key.. and we used the ceiling as a storage place 'cos we couldn't bring everything back with us. XD went off to vivocity! they wanted to go shopping for jarryl's birthday stuff but then it would be too late for me, so i just had lunch with the rest and went home. *snore*
after i got home i properly read my grad stuff, initially i thought there was a mistake in my testimonial. the seminar names were different! being the usual cannot-lie-and-must-not-take-what's-not-mine person i asked kbong if he could change it, and then DANGDANGDANG!! it was actually in the system that i was selected for the seminar that he wrote about! was quite pleasantly surprised (: but i think i didn't get to go for it because it was probably during the period which i was overseas last year. heh.
and then i read through the list of cca stuff, and i felt that these two years were well spent. even though i missed tk a lot at first and wanted to go somewhere with a little more green, and i didn't really like school.. i managed to like the place enough in the end to actually stay back after school and not rush home. guess i made the right choice to stick it out in cj (:
well. kudos to two years in cj and making the best out of it and all the way for the exams. (:

okay i hate that photobucket inactive sign thing on the sidebar so i'm trying to access my account now so that it'll go away. i think the last time i actually signed into photobucket was end 2005 and i'm not surprised that i have trouble recalling my password and my username. ):
went back to tk on thursday. actually i wanted to go back on friday and sing the school song, do all that nostalgic stuff, but had the chem mock. at least i could do part of it after a revelation even though i got stumped halfway through. it was like, "how to do.." and then "PING PING PING!!"
anyway, i hung around parkway and finally got my maped compass! no more excuses to skip complex number questions for maths. :D met up with alyba, drea and fluff in sch. they came late!! gwarr. we talked to mrs ngin for almost one and a half hours.. until i got so hungry i just kinda shut up. she managed to successfully bluff me she was four months pregnant. >< that aside.. when tk girls are hungry, they go to VIDEOWORLD!! i haven't had instant noodles in eons. nothing beats slacking at videoworld, having our instant noodles, icecream and talking nonsense. :D alvie you have to join us the next time!!
I JUST LOGGED INTO PHOTOBUCKET!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
this week has been crazy. sleeping about four/five hours a night and trying to concentrate on lessons, finish homework and study for mocks is no joke. i woke up at 8.25am on wednesday. >< my mom banged down the door and exclaimed, "don't you have school today?" it took me a few seconds to realize it was WEDNESDAY!! and then the first thought was, "should i pon or should i not?" then, "OH NO CSE LECTURE!! GP!! DOUBLE CHEM!!" i flew around the room getting my stuff and by 8.35 i was out of the house. :)
the cab ride to school was another thing. the taxi driver didn't think a girl like me would call a cab. so he just waited near the carpark lots and i had to call upstairs to ask my mom if that cab number was the one that i was supposed to get on. and yea, it was. so i got on, and the guy asked, "YOU called the cab?" i was so angry! is there something wrong with small girls getting on cabs?! "yes, I called the cab." emphasis on the "I".
so we went down upp serangoon road. goodness the traffic jam! we got stuck for about 5min in the jam and i just watched the meter go up like how my temperature was probably rising. i was secretly swearing to myself the jam was so bad i wouldn't even make it to school in time for the last lesson (at 11am. it was then about 8.50). suddenly, the driver turned off a slip road into lorong chuan and didn't say anything about it.
at first i was ready to start scolding because i was utterly fed up. first he thinks i cannot call a cab. then he thinks he can take me for a blurbox and take me on a round around serangoon. but thank goodness i held my tongue because i was proven wrong! zoom zoom zoom across lorong chuan and out at BARTLEY ROAD!! no jam all the way to school! whoohoo! my temper, temperature and angsty feelings towards the driver all cooled down. until the erp.
"OH NO ERP." *teet* $0.50. AHHH!! at that point of time the driver saw me staring in front out at the other cars (which were beginning to jam at lor 1 tp) and said, "see, jam. don't you think so?" and being grumpy, again, all i could utter was a "yes i agree" in formal chinese. oh yea, the other reason for me becoming grumpy again was because i asked him to go via lor 2, the fastest route in tp towards cj. he went into lor 1. and luckily his peripheral vision caught sight of my black face, he turned into lor 3 to go into lor 2 which indeed was much faster. and so my black face slowly became skin colour again.
in fact the rest of the ride to cj was fast with minimal traffic lights so my mood lightened considerably. grouchy no more! by the time i actually arrived in school i was quite happy and could say thank you to the driver and actually meant it. i paid $18 for an extra 2h 50min worth of sleep.
moral of the story: please avoid sleeping late for consecutive nights until you can't hear your alarm which goes on playing beatles music for fifteen minutes.
exams are in 29 days. please kick me offline.
