NJ's memorable moments
hmm, long time nvr update le.. din know wad to write.. haha.. sure i can always update on outings and stuff.. but somehow it doesn't really appeal to me rite now.. =/
so.. i shall write about 3 of my most
memorable moments in NJC so far. LOL. since my JC1 life is officially over, shall reflect upon my life and see what
wonderful things have happened to me so far. =)
in ascending order,
no.1 : dat time, 1st 3 months, got this thing called "talentime" in NJ. actually i dun plan to go one.. until the day itself during the flag raising, got this acappella group that sang super well! plus weina will be dancing.. so i was considering whether i should go or not.. after sch, i was at bytes playing comp when this weird ACSI guy asked if i want to buy tix.. so i told him i'm still considering and that i'll buy once i decided. LOL. fickle-minded me. anw, he kept pestering me until i dun feel like going already! hmph. so i told him i'm not gg cos i haf no one to go wif.. was expecting him to go away after dat. but no! there was another ACSI guy walking past and the stupid moron just opened his mouth and asked him "eh she got no one to go with.. can go with her?" x_X i was so embarrassed la! i din even know that guy.. he made me sound like one despo girl.. sheesh. feel like murdering him loh.. and from dat day onwards, everytime i see the 2nd ACSI guy, he keeps giving me the face that says "i know you like me but pls stop stalking me". sheesh. -.-"
no.2 : during my 1st 3 months in NJ, i was close to this girl called zhihui. dat day, i was telling her that one of my friends say that this guy (as he walked past us) is very cute. but i don't think so. so decided to ask zhihui's opinion. haha. anw, a few days after dat, after PE, we were going up the stairs at canteen, when that guy and his friends walked past us. then zhihui opened her big fat mouth and said SUPER LOUDLY, "hey ilona! dat's the guy you say is very cute!" oh my gosh!! i could have died of embarrassment!! the guy and his grp of friends looked back and stared at me wif the confused look.. (duh.. he didn't even know me..) sheesh. i was sooo embarrassed to death. and i din even think he was cute. hmph. from dat day onwards, everytime i see them i feel like turning back and walking the other direction! so embarrassed. = /
no.3 : get locked in the canteen's toilet. -.-" okay this happened long ago when the canteen toilet was not renovated yet. i came to sch happily as usual and since it was kinda early, decided to go toilet 1st.. i was alone dat day since stupid SM is late, so we din take the bus together. anw, i went into the last cubicle (the squat one), do wadeva i need to do and then got out. or should i say
tried to get out. when i turned the lock, the door just won't open!! damn it! i almost died of shock! never in my whole life i got stuck inside the toilet before.. sheesh. luckily my hp is wif me.. so i called SM. haha. fortunately she hadn't reached the parade square yet so she came to my rescue. =) she turned the lock from outside using a coin but the door just won't budge. so she called this auntie. the auntie tried to break the door but she just wasn't strong enough.. and after a few tries, she told me that she'll pass a chair in and i can just climb out. i was so horrified!! the door is so tall!! even with a chair, i can never climb out la! so anw, super fortunately for me, this uncle came in and helped me. he banged the door wif his strong shoulder and 'bang' the door broke. YAY! i could finally come out. *phew* i felt so relieved.. haha. anw, the door couldn't be locked for some time after dat (it broke mah) and i shall assume dat it's not my fault! LOL. so moral of the story is.. always bring your hp when you go toilet! you never know when you'll need it. haha..

so much for my happy ending
well, life isn't a fairytale and there's no such thing as happy ending. at least currently i think so. promos results are out and it really hits me hard on the face. like a big fat cold fish being slapped on my cheeks. again and again.
sigh.
most people are worried now. worried for different things though.
case 1: you qualify for S papers and have no idea which subjects to take. i suggest you don't try to ask your poor friends who score very badly for advice. not that they don't want to help you. but you're being very insensitive to their feelings. inferiority does exist.
case 2: you have to drop a subject and you have no idea which subject to drop. in that case it helps to ask as many people as possible. some people really do give an insightful advice on the matter. =)
case 3: you are on probation. [like yours truly] you have no idea whether to just drop a subject now and not bother about it again for the next CT. or should you try again next year and see first? but wad if you try so hard and you fail
AGAIN? not sure whether your heart can take the emotional blow when that happens. i suggest that you do stick to 4 subjects though. bet your teachers have tried so hard to try to get you out of the "drop a subject" list to the "on probation" list. you shall try not to disappoint them.
again.
case 4: worst case scenario.. you are retained. you feel like a failure. on one hand you feel like giving up and just go to a poly and forget all about JC education. on the other hand you really do want to lead a life in JC. but there is a new syllabus next year and you are not sure whether you can handle it. well, i do believe that you can. really really super duper hoping that you're coping with the situation and just want to let you know that
ALL your friends do care a lot about you but some of them just don't dare to approach you to find out how you're doing. do take care..
case 5: you did okay. but your good friends did not. they seem to look sad and depressed most of the time and you don't know what to do. your mood is kinda affected and you begin to look sad too. then you got scolded for being frowny when you have done okay. although you feel satisfied but there is a small portion of your heart that feels empty. and you don't know why. i guess this is only temporary. i'm sure your friends do share in your happiness but they just need time to get over their own problems before they can be happy for you. but pls note that they
DO feel happy for you. don't get them wrong. they're not jealous or anything.. okay maybe they are
a little. but they definitely are happy for you. do trust them.
okay, pretty long entry.. i dunno wad i'm saying.. it sounds like a lump of whines and nonsense. lol. oh well, what are you expecting from a depressed person anw.. haha.. shall blog abt sth happy soon then. if there's any. =)

anw, shall update a little on my weekend.
friday: got rehearsal for open day performance after school and then got student volunteer briefing after that.. haf to paste footprints all around school and make sure that all the routes are fool-proof. stupid rain makes things worse.. ahh well.. some things are just unpredicted. stayed in school until like 9 plus?! couldn't really rmbr.. haha.. after dat went out for dinner wif nopie, ferro and rizky at KFC. (: went home and SLEEP.
sat: open day. very funnn! i guess the performance wasn't that bad. haha.. got huppy to do me a certain nice favour. LOL. and the most horrible thing happened cos adinia had to open her big gossipy mouth.. sheesh. i hope no harm is done. haha. anw it was fun sitting there at the booth wif her and just keep saying 'welcome to NJC', 'make NJC your 1st choice!', etc etc.. hehe.. really enjoy dat.. after the whole thing finish, haf to clean the school of rubbish and balloons and posters and everything else.. had dinner at black canyon cafe wif nopie, ferro, simon and wibowo. nice place and nice food! highly recommended. (: reached home at like 9 plus and fell asleep while reading yijun's comics.. -.-
sunday: angklung performance at Taman Warisan.. came to school to practice after going to church in the morning.. well some mean people came late.. sheesh. while some others din even bother to come.. sigh.. ahh well. anw, the performance wasn't that bad i guess.. though i make pretty lots of mistakes. haha. 1st time playing '7' cos serena din come. and 1st time standing in front row also.. so scaryy! got full blast of audience staring at you.. i was so stressed! >_< stayed there until like around 8 pm.. the food they served was nice though. (:

new skin!
YAYNESS! promos are finally over.. so happie! haha.. shall worry abt the results later.. got soo many things i wanna do.. can't wait! hehe.. 1st thing on the list is done le. changing of blog skin is completed! HOORAY! =) still wanna read harry potter book 6 (yes, unfortunate me still hafn't read yet..), read the comics my dad brought from indo, try to find nice books in library (hopefully not comics again.. -.-), learn cross-stitching (LOL) and err, many other stuff! haha.
anw, open day is coming in like one week.. will be so busy wif the performance rehearsals and banner and preparation and stuff.. sigh.. got no time to do a lot of things YET. sigh. oh well, shall haf a lot of time at hand once open day is over! (:
eh but got PW.. hmm.. things just keep coming and coming.. it's like a never-ending road.. =( anw, i'm reading this comic titled "KODOCHA" right now. gosh, it's super nice!!! i was like reading it like until 3.30 am ytd.. haha.. can't help myself.. i just love comics so much! and book no 8 was so sad.. can't help crying.. haha.. it's highly recommended! go read!
had jieying's and zhengliang's bdae celebration today wif my fellow exco member. so fun! heex.. we ate at jack's place.. the food was not bad and it's cheap too. student's promotion! haha.. and the cake was super delicious.. *sllrrppp* LOL. hope they had a great day too. =) 2mr we're gonna start painting the banner.. hopefully it'll turn out to be nice! hehe..
oh ya, i know promos are all over.. but just wanna pen down some of my tots during the exams period.. i find it weird why some people are kinda mean and unwilling to share some of the hints that they got? it's not like ranks are important anymore.. we dun even haf any in JC! will they be satisfied if they manage to beat their friends' results? wad's wif the competitive spirit? -.- i tot exams are supposed to be a measure of how much YOU haf learnt and studies, not how much you can beat other people.. sigh.. ahh well, i guess some people think differently? =(
wonder wad will happen if the rules and regulations change and that only 90% of the total cohort can promote.. it'll be super interesting huh.. everyone will try to beat each other so much and i guess friendships will be affected too. sigh. is dat all there is to life? satisfaction of beating other people? even though they're your friends? i just don't understand some people.
