Hard-to-Forget Experience

It feels so nice to be home again. Well, I was home last evening but I felt super ill to be up and about so I left this diary post till now.
I participated in the FTBC 2011 Run One held at OBS East Coast Camp. It was supposed to be a bonding and get-to-know-each-other session. We also got to learn and experience for ourselves the CIRCLE values upheld by members of the school.
Students from different schools of the university were placed in groups. I belonged in Zonda group 5 - SpongeBob Ignited!
The cheers were fun, the games were wacky and the food were great! I had fun making up the cheers within the group; I felt great learning the Zonda (you're so fine) cheer; I loved the food even though it was spicy and I dont do spicy so well.
The only sad thing was the rain. It kept raining whenever we wanted to carry out the activities aka challenges. So most of the time, we stayed indoors and played games like Horizontal Spiderweb and Murderer.
In fact, yesterday rained so heavily that the tents were flooded. Almost all my things were soaking wet. No amount of hanging to dry could have salvaged it by the next day.
Worst of all, I felt a headache building since morning and it became worse as time creeps by. Turns out my muscles ache too. Oh dear, is it stomach flu?
Now, my throat hurts and I found out I have been bitten by insects on my thighs. All around my thighs. Yucks!
Despite the sicky feeling and the squishy wet stuff, I had made a few friends, at least 2 I hope. Hope the other freshmen who stuck around had more fun than I did!
Luck and blessings for the others who havent been to the camp.
I wanted Rafting and Tunneling~ Be prepared!

Working Blues

Other than making money, I seriously cant think of any benefits to working. For a recluse/hermit/introvert. (Laughs for those who know me~)

• Giggling Idiots
• Paperwork
• Data Entry
• Running Errands
• Exercising
• Secretive Glances
• Silence
• No Conversations
• Stupid Air-con
• Fluctuating Temperature
• Noise
• Boredom
• Eagle Eyes

I'm VERY BORED!

Am I getting old or what?
Many things don't catch my interest anymore. Even if they do, it is only for a short period of time.
Hobbies aren't hobbies either, since I lost interest yet again.

Reading
Well, I still borrow a lot. But now I have to renew the loan for extension. Otherwise, I may never read finish. Okay, it is partially due to my other committments such as work and school activities.
Yet, the plots are no longer sufficient to hold my interest either. Sure, I get into them when I am reading. But I no longer have the compelling urge to continue once I stopped. Guess romance isnt romance since I do not have any experience to speak of or to reminisce about.

Novel-Writing
I remember starting two novels. And that's it. I started but never finished. Recently, I started another. Again, I dont feel like completing it. Either I ran out of inspiration or I just ran out of energy.

Shopping
I love shopping. But what is there to shop when there is no cash to spend? I am super tight in finances nowadays. Gotta save for business with girlfriends and gotta spend on bills and daily needs.
Then again, there are so many things to buy even though many are just replicates in terms of designs and uses. Okay, substitutes. Whatever.
Okay. Ample wants and needs, insufficient cash = scarcity. See, I remember my economics.

Earning cash
Haha. This is definitely my hobby. So I give tuition, I work as administrative assistant and I plan to open a business with my girlfriends. Yet nowadays, even when I desperately need to save $500 more by August, I dont feel the energy to earn lots of cash.
In fact, I feel happy that I dont have to go give tuition this sunday when the family is out for holiday. I feel fantastic when I get half-day off.

Tidying and organising
Yes, this is a hobby. Learnt from my mother: there is never complete cleanliness and tidiness. So I liked (past tense) tidying and rearranging my things. Dont belittle the amount of things a lone child have. I have things spread out all over the apartment.
Yet I dont have the 'gambatte' feeling these days to start arranging things.

Haiz. Hope this kimochi will pass soon.
P.S. This is the longest I have ever typed here, for now.

Missing the Youth

Yep, in case anyone is wondering, I am thinking about the years when I was younger. Infant, toddler, child and teenager. Now that I am an adult, I can't help but think back about the past.
I miss those years!
What I miss about:

• Silly games
• Plain-paper innocence ( no need white, just plain )
• Masak masak just about anything!
• Playing!
• Trying all things new and old~
• Studying (yup, sort le)
• Classes
• Secret note passing under the desk
• Stressing about results
• Mugging
• Timeless fun!!!!!

The young me is replaced.... Boohoo...

RAIN-ing Hazards

Pun intended.
Well, I am not a Korea fan. Or rather, I am not a Korea pop fan. Haha.

• Mood swings
• Headaches
• Body aches (or is it just old age? lol)
• Dirtied feet
• Wet clothes
• Idiotic car drivers
• Sudden splashes
• Fun in puddles!
• Antsy disaster***
• Mudslides *_!

Teenage Years

Another episode of reminiscing. Guess I am really growing old. LOL.
Again, my secondary school years are fading. Or, rather, already faded to a major extent. Right, the Social studies teachers will have a fit if they hear me use the word 'extent'. HAHA.

• I was in 'P' class where I saw a few students come and go. Even those that I knew in primary school.
• Then, in the middle of games, I had to transfer to 'I' class. Guess I had to make new friends and endure the stares the new classmates gave me. Who asked me to bring my sleeping bag in a giant plastic bag?
• Met my best friend, Siu, who is a Japan hardcore persona.
• Listed choir as first choice CCA, followed by NPCC and the third choice...well, I cant remember.
• Okay, so I didnt get into choir. And I didnt go for the interview by the NPCC teacher.
• Guess how nice the teacher is when I didnt get into any CCA and resorted to NPCC in the end.
• Pretty fun at the start, I guess. Then, I grew tired of the endless demands and my mother's incessant nagging.
• Again, who wants to wake up at 5 plus in the morning and reach school by 6 plus for physical training? Who wants to go for multiple camps in one year at some ulu place called Pulau Ubin?
• LOL. So I endured these for the first two years. Then I began deserting my CCA and the mates involved.
• Kind of hard to dodge the mates, but after a while, guess they gave up, so my life was ultra peaceful.
• Okay, enough of CCAs.
• I chose biology and chemistry along with the social studies/history and pure geography for upper secondary subjects. Had enough of physics!
• Fine, I suck at Sciences but I excel in Math and Arts subjects! Guess that pretty decided my course in JC.
• Oh, I was in 'S' class for the last two years.
• Aiya! Forgot my other friends! Met Seen, Qi, Lilin and Gerry through Siu, and Jo through class!
• Guess my O level grades and the various friends are my best finds in those years.

If I remember anything else, I will add in. But my brain short-circuited yet again~
