hahah. i am supposed to be doing my gp hw.
OH MAN! SCHOOL IS IN 2 DAYS' TIME!
our hoilday was long, but IT COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER!!!!!!!!
anw. (:
i decided to do my 2009 reflections, digress a little wun kill rite(: haha.

The beginning of 2009 was still holiday for me- temporary liberation after O levels. that kind of slacking and walking around my house aimlessly is something that i will only get to experience probably after A levels. Then, it was the release of O level results after days and weeks of worries. I was honestly very surprised at my results as i might have mentioned before that i was anticipating 12 pts(i dreamt of it the day before). And then out of nowhere and in the midst of confusion, i ended up where i am today in HC.

The feeling of helplessness in a new environment was nothing but scary. I seriously dread OG session on the first day as there was no one that i know in it. Its just the feeling of i dunnoe what is going to happen there and whether i will be able to make new friends since they were most from IP. Maybe i wasnt the only one feeling tt way cos u can always spot a sea of blue in the auditorium when we had briefings or any common activity. You just have to hang onto something when u are thrown into the ocean isnt it?

CCA exhibition. somehow. now to think of it. how did i even enter huang cheng? i dun really rmb now. i wasnt exactly say passionate about dramas so.... haha. maybe its fate. haha. boonhui will know why i say this. haha. drastic change of environment from secondary school. but i love my CCA now though(:

i really enjoyed myself during orientation. perhaps i didnt really interact much with the guys such tt some dun even noe tt i m in e og and i always mia cos of huang cheng but.... thnks for everythings during the orientation week. its really enjoyable for me(:i really tot the HC had a lot of fun events and traditions... like STJ, JTS ,POP and all the other stuff and believe me or not, i always told my frens frm the other schs tt we do not study only. haha. but tts before the tests and examinations start to set in lar. i mean tts of course rite.

i remember hearing the announcement about some taiwan immersion programme and i just decided tt i was going to attend it even without asking my friends whether i shld go or if they want to go as well. i rmb one of my teacher once said tt we should take any opportunity tt comes and not regret when its gone. i haven been overseas b4(except malaysia), not to say going on an immersion programme. it was a rather great leap for me. flying overseas for the first time and alone. this whole programme really took up alot of my memories of 2009. from interview to the first meeting that we had, and every other meetings which we gather for discussion and practices till when oour buddies came and we went over. although everything is over now, but its really a memorable experience. because i told myself tt i was going to sign up for this, i have not regret it. its when u take a step forward, out of ur comfort zone, when u learn and gain the most. There are too many things that i can say about TIP but i believe most have been mentioned in last year's posts so i shant be a broken recorder. i m really grateful to being able to be a part of HC TIP. from strangers to really good friends, its really hard to come along in life i guess.

to be more serious, my academics in 2009 wasnt very much what i expected. The sudden change in the grades tt u c is really scary and i would have thought of escaping all this. why not just lead a more normal life and dun bother about my studies??? i doubt i can ever do tt given my character. so i bet 2010 will be the year for me to catch up. This also means that i am going to cut down the amount of time i spent on using my computer on really useless stuff like looking at people's status updates on fb everyday dunnoe for what. and and of course i will only blog if there is a need to.

tts e end of reflections.
thanks everybody whom i have crossed path with in 2009 as u have made my year a more pleasant one in one way or another. i cant express my thanks to so many ppl cos or else i m not going to be able to finish my gp hw but just know that i m very thankful to all of u(:
hope tt 2010 will be a better year for all.

ciao.
(:
for next time shall thou blog.
