a year has past, but still
that is it.we are done. Survived a year of IP. so i am going to do a good reflection of this whole year...
But first, a sincere thank you to everybody who has been in my life..05ip04ers, the mulanese, honorary members of mulanese club, all my boyfriends, council peeps, maldivians, council seniors, all girl perc group (da ji rocks), the teachers and to everybody whom i have obviously forgotten, thank you. And to my parents who have put up with me...and my stuff.
Jan
I guess to make it short, it was a transitional period, between secondary school and njip. Remembered feeling stress and stupid, serious. And being looked down. People from neighbourhood school not stupid ok? But then there is orientation, the dancing, cheering, kissing...but wait the dancing on the podium, the taking off shirts. And the discovery that there are boys that are not actually assholes on earth.
Feb
wait i remembered feeling overwhelmingly busy. And i started failing, almost everything, i have never been used to failing, wait, cause i have never failed anything, well, except chinese. And my first valentines day..with actually presents and seeing pairs walking around with flowers. Went for council interview. I am pretty awed that my council journey started so early.
March
Maldives month. Haa what can i say, it leaves such deep impression on me. i could do it all over again if i had the chance. the people i met, the bonds i formed, the spirte, the sacks and the sand. Then it was second orientation month, really hectic. everything from then on, was down hill. Got a zen
April
MY grandma died. Missed dance party for the funeral. I guess the family is not that close now. MY mum said that this year would be a bad year, she had some feeling. If we only knew...Funny i actually remember i was studying for log test under the dim lights of the funeral. There was IP preview, where we got to wear the shirt, quite pissed cause i had to wear grey and red tie. and not wassup ip? shirt. Then it was council speech day. HEHE. i don't ever want to speak about it, never ever. Missed the maldives bbq for it. Should just go man, a speech like that is quite brainless. ZH co won gold. woooooo hoooooo. Our hard work had paid off. Then there was elects camp. I like the part where they tested us. Find the strength within. the stressed they put on us, discovered that some council seniors are whooping asses. there i said it. The sleeping problems start coming into effect.
May
I started feeling cynical, started eating dinner in the car. INVEST!!! The council started coming. think busy busy. CO syf. i think. gold man. Fried ice cream!!!!
June
Co camp! Rehearsing like crazy for concert. Council again. China!!! DVD overload.
July
Frustrated with council. Concert practice moves to overdrive.. Enrichment week arrives. Harry potter. Starting to miss my mom and dad like crazy. First pubstunt. Co concert. I never play wrongly...
August
Natl day. Realised if you can't mc, get someone who can. SERIOUS. Got real sick, no voice. whoa suddenly so quiet. Teacher's day. Char faints.
And now,
i can't believe it, we are done.
It is not about the grades or things. I have never been so stressed, but i am so pleased with myself for being able to handle stuff in general. I grew stronger, made a hunk a lota friends. Worked harder, ass off lynn, ass off. i just amazed that i actually became more caring and concerned.
A year of change
why am i writing in such a happy tone? when i am supposed to be very pissed. Hmmm, why some thing happened today that bought me over. it involves 1 bet, 2 guys, foosball, naked guys, pumping and a polaroid. I can't say who, but i am cheap lah, doesn't take a lot to make me happy.
but i still can't believe we are done.
really.
the sisterhood of the grey skirts
and honorary grey pants guyhood....
love forever, i am getting really old. next year i am sixteen and legal.
