Day 1 reflections 'kope' from class IPO blog :P

Hellos!:D Must we really do this? So tired already:| Oh well... Fine.
Woke up super early today like 5:30am? So not used to that timing... All thanks to the hols that messed up my lifestyle:/ Hope that i can get use to this by this week:) 
Lala so took the bus to serangoon then circle line-ed to paya lebar den bus my way to VJC... Couldnt be any much drastic difference from VS life.. Met Sean on the bus at Parkway.. Sean: I envy you... Stay so close to school.. Can wake up at 7 walau haha:P
Anyways reached school, went to the elective hub and lala (stone) outside, along with a few super enthusiastic early birds:) 
More lala when waiting for activities to start.. And nice storyline about the Greek gods, seniors:) added a whole new purpose to things we did.. LOL 
Met the scholars from our class:) 3 china chinese and 2 Indian scholars:) had a hard time remembering their name:/ guess i have forgotten most of their names:/ but I'll try my best still:) 
Ice breakers were fun and it was a great way to start the activities for the day:) with some lame yet exciting games lol.. Ice weren't exactly melted because most of us have hanged out together during the hols:) 
Had fun watching people get sabo-ed and do forfeit during the sun moon game thing lol:P 
Next up, Telematch :D it was really competitive, even though some stuff were kinda lame and simple:P learned some random facts about VJC haha We lost to v13 at the last round :O but it was fun still:) and we did our best:)
Then came the most energy draining activity of the day: Treasure Hunt!:D Zeus' lightning was somehow missing and 20 tribes were out hunting for it! Learned much about VJC during the hunt and cheers too:) thanks to my tribe's ic I-Lin for her guidance:) and to all my tribe mates: Darren, Eri, Jaslyn, Angelie (not sure if it spelt that way:P sorry if it's wrong:/)and Ginnette:) we made it into 11st place:) woohoo! ELEVEN :) like our class' name:) 
Then finally things ended on another high note:) jokes, games, cheers and laughter-filled last 2 hours:) and FINALLY debrief:) 
Like the seniors said the aim for us is to start as 1, end as 1 at the end of IPO. And I believe we made a huge first step towards achieving the ultimate goal:) 
And the moral of today's adventure: teamwork, camaraderie haha was learned through those games we played together:D thanks seniors and PSLs for organising this awesome day for us and I look forward to more awesomeness tomorrow and the days after:D

Resolutions for TWENTY-ELEVEN:D

HELLOS WORLD! :D


A new year has just begun! :D The Awesome Twenty Ten had ended. Well reflecting on my old 2010 resolutions: http://redgreenpinkblue.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-years-resolution.html


1) Get a MSG of lower than 1.5 (current 1.9)

2) Achieve a result good enough to land me a spot in a 4 year IP Programme.

3) Achieve something for VS and Infocomm Club (last year was slacking)

4) Increase my stamina for running to 3 and a half rounds of fast jog without stopping

5) Get the red dots out of my face (and hopefully for life)

6) Widen my social network


Lets see which i have achieve:D and which not:/ and evaluation time:D

Point one: Achieving MSG of <1.5
It was ridiculously ambitious:O

Point two: Achieve a result good enough to land me a spot in a 4 year IP Programme
Achieved:D In fact in Victoria Junior College, VIP :D

Point three: Achieve something for VS and Infocomm Club (last year was slacking
Maybe? I did bit part work in the background and there's still a pending competition for SDMA 2011 :D Hopefully my team can achieve the PLATINUM award XD This, I gotto thank my senior, WK a lot for his help and guidance and my partner DL :D

Point four: Increase my stamina for running to 3 and a half rounds of fast jog without stopping
Achieved at some point in time last year :P Then died down.. Now, I'm totally NOT FIT :O Stamina died-ed... :/

Point five: Get the red dots out of my face (and hopefully for life)
Nope:/ always ALMOST made it! Then broke out again :/

Point six: Widen my social network
Yep! :D I had a good bond between most of my classmates, made new friends around school and cool people from other schools! :D

So, evaluated the previous resolutions, didn't achieve all of them:/ Lesson learned.
Dun be overly ambitious in your resolutions
Dun try to hope nature change her course because of you.
Dun be lazy after achieving, MAINTAIN

So, learning from life's lessons, I'm back at making more mistakes in life for the new year:P

So here are the resolutions for 2011: 
  1. Achieve a top third academic performance in school
  2. Make a good impression in school
  3. Be able to balance academic with CCA and play
  4. Do everything wholeheartedly, do not be lazy and 偷工减料 :/
  5. Be fit and get at least a NAPFA Silver (omg full pull-ups)
  6. Reduce angering parents 
  7. Be a good example to sibling
  8. Keep in contact with all my friends and know them better if i do not know them very well
  9. Never break someone's heart
  10. Continue making more friends/ continue widening my social network :D
I hope that I can fulfil my goals and wishes all a fruitful 2011 ahead! :D

bais:) Calv :D

Last day of this AWESOME twentyten! :D

HELLOS WORLD! :D


Well, 2010 ended on a rather high note:) (for me)


It was different, not like any other 31st December I had before! I couldnt remember a thing I did on past 31st Decembers! Coz they were totally booooeeerrrrriiinnngggg ttm. Past 31st Decembers I had were like any other ordinary day-nothing special! Maybe dad have a half day at work? Returns home all tired, take a nap, go out dinner( sometimes with relatives if they ask us out?), go home, countdown, eat maggie mee, brush teeth, sleep, HAPPY NEW YEAR... so dead..
HOW INTERESTING COULD THAT ALL BE??


Well, today was UNIQUE! I went out with friends, people I love, people who I enjoy spending time with :)
I intended to wake up earlier today and be better prepared for the day but I realised my phone alarm wasnt activated for some reason.. 
The previous day i was shag ttm... 
I had a long day at work in VS bookshop. It was the sec1 orientation day. Parents are in school along with the new Victorians! Great seeing the new batch of Victorians coming in each year:D Keeps the Victorian tradition and spirit going! :D
anyways, business was booming! ( imo, not sure if auntie feels that way too.. HAHA) I was  in charged of selling the school journals whcih arrived 2 days before. 
IT WAS BACK-BREAKING WORK! 
I had to look up, greet the customer, ask if they would like to purchase the school journal, bend down grab a journal, look up, collect money, calculate change, bend down look for change, stand  up again to pass the change, thank the customer, kthxbai LOL 
The cycle repeats for every customer..


Wait wasn't this post about 31st December?? Lol back to the topic lalala


Yes, i was at the morning part of 31st lol..
I was awakened by my mum... at 7.40am, I intended to wake up at 7 actually.. ohwells let's not waste any more time! jump out of bed, brush teeth, grab clothes, quick bath, grab extra clothes, gift, waterbottle, breakfast, chiong to bus stop, missed direct bus, took bus to serangoon circle line, go paya lebar, get on 76 go VS. 
When i reached it was 8.55am phew! ONTIME XD


Today business not fantastic coz new years' eve and half day of work nia...

WORK WORK WORK LALALA
towards the end, auntie asked yl and i to help restock some stuff from the storeroom. we needed the trolley.. So wad does 2 young-at heart guys do with a trolley? One sits/ stands on the trolley, and VROOOM....! Off you go! HAHAHA:D WOOOO~! LOL childish rite?


Finally 12pm, le! :D Yay! Collect salary den zhao :D


I went Bedok:D to meet a special someone, JM :D
We lala chat lalawalk to the brand new Bedok Point.. It's small as compared to another brand new mall in Singapore, NEX at Serangoon. (LIKE DUH haha)
However it was a hell of a food paradise as described by JM with 70% of the shops in BP are F&B stores! There were simply too mayt stall so we just walk talk walk talk all the way, dunno wad to makan >.< 
In the end we just went to KFC outside fo BP to takeaway LOL 
Den we set off for ECP via VS:D
Went there find place sit, eat, chat. took awhile to finish..:X
Next go bike kiosk, rented a double bike :D 

cool! first timer here :P got the hang of it after awhile:P


things were smooth i suppose, except for a couple of bumps and turbulence once is a while :P
till on our trip back from around Tanjong Katong area, the result of 2 guys, being under pressure to keep the ladies up, hesitated and failed to anticipate each others next move, is a CRASH
Ouchy :X My finger was sandwiched between the 2 bikes, I was thrown forward off my seat...
Guess the missus behind got the worst hit.. SORRY!
We continued after ensuring both parties were okay.. JM turned quiet, she's in pain :/ ouch:X


the sky was turning a bit dark, we quickened our paddle pace and try to go back close to the kiosk we rented the bike from.. we settled down after passing the kiosk with over 45 min till due time so we settled down in a pavilion,had some chocolate, chat more:D
I was a lil tired, hands a bit cramp from steering the bike, butt muscle a lil tight:X 


lalala returned the bike soon, had some ice cream, more like ice jelly/lollies :D


Left ECP for Bedok again:D 


Went BP hang around, camp at Banquet for a rather long chat den arcade den food deciding time again.. Unfortunately we didnt have a cool ending to the day.. :/ JM gtg.. so i dabao my Sub.


BP Subway got student meal! XD


Walked to interchange, say bb... :/

There was a lil miscommunication with my mum.. I remembered telling her i'll have my own dinner before coming home.. wells ended up with dad going out dabao home.. mum not so pleased... Nothing i can do about it :/


Then started  texting around, sending Happy New Year wishes around :D


Feel so happy when friends send me regards :D


Had a little countdown with myself in my room.. without TV :/


Despite the low points of the day, this is in my mind a near perfect way to end this AWESOME 
Twenty Ten :D
