Been thinking of reviving my blog for quite some time, and I finally have the balls to do so. Heh. It's a new year, new beginning right. :]
[ Now Listening To: Ne-Yo - Miss Independent ]Maybe I'll use this blog for my training log too. Been thinking of doing that for some time too...
2009. Love or hate it? I guess it's a bit of both. It's sad when you have to leave your old friends especially when you're going to a completely new school. But that's what I have set my mind to the beginning of last year. I want a FRESH and BRAND new start, and I got it. :]
[ Now Listening To: Britney Spears - If U Seek Amy ]It wasn't easy. But I managed. And I realised one thing though. What you are will be what you are forever. Just look at VS leaders - leaders in secondary school, leaders in JC. Head prefects in secondary school, council president in jc. It's an unfair cycle, because in jc, i reliased, it's all a popularity contest. Maybe its just ACJC, but it's what I noticed.
And because of that, starting afresh is DEFINATELY not easy when hell no one knows you and dont even know what you are especially when you're not a high profile type.
I wanted to start anew, wanted to be a different person, but I just couldn't leave who I really am. =/ I wanted to be with people, I wanted lots of shit that didn't even come true.
Gave trying out for council. Gave up trying for CCA heads. I regretted it.
[ Now Listening To: Pixie Lott - Mama Do ]But I did try out for House Captain in the end. Haha. I guess I really couldn't give it all away... I just wanted a name... and maybe do something with my life.
I regretted more shit though. Like not trying out for scholarships, or CIP opportunities, or even job attachment or external H3s...
Frankly, I dont even know what went through my mind when I gave up applying for those.
But I still managed though. There's always silver linings. Made a hell lot of new friends in AC. And it's partially due to me giving up on giving up.
[ Now Listening To: Kelly Clarkson - Already Gone ]I really like to thank the Barker boys. They really accepted me like one of them. :] Accepted me so much so that everyone else thought I was from Barker Road myself. Haha. I dont mind though. That school is huge!
I want to thank ACanoe, both girls and boys, i mean, boys and men, for providing me a clique to stick to through this year. Seriously, ACJC is nothing without its cliques. It's like a survival factor vital for your stay during these 2 years. Not only that, canoeing really made me appreciate sports and physical activities. Glad to say my 2.4km drastically improved, though it's still considered a bad timing for a canoeist, I'm still happy to improve. It goes the same with Pull-ups. Haha. Used to be my worst, now it's my best. :]
I want to thank CCAAB. Seriously, it widened my circle of friends. Facebook was spammed with 'Musli and ______ are now friends'. Haha. Loved it. Both the company and the leadership experience, even though it was my 4th visit to Jalan Bahtera. Lol. But it was my first time doing zipline, and I do not wish to go through what happened there. OMG. So embarrassing, but everyone was so supportive. :] Thanks Baden-Powell.
[ Now Listening To: Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care ]My class. Its a love hate relationship I guess. Soooo much politics in there. And most of it is thanks to you Jacq. Haha. I think I jumped cliques in there quite a number of times... omg... But thanks though to my class... Haha. Gerald, especially you, my fellow eastee, THANKS FOR YOU SUPPORT. SERIOUSLY!!! Despite my criticism, thanks...
My OG. Even though we horridly split a few weeks after orientation, it was still meaningful as my first few friends in AC, even though 2 are from VS... Haha. I must really thank Alfie and Hannah too, being like my first acquaintances there. Need I say more?
Alfie. :] You're a bitch.
Which goes to show that I really NEED people to know me. Need in bold and underlined many many times for emphasis. I simply couldnt give THAT away.
[ Now Listening To: Ciara feat. Justin Timberlake - Love Sex Magic ]Studies-wise, i really got nothing to say. The fact that my class kept saying 'Why are you in our class? Go join SC1...' shows something. Haha. And it's not helped by the fact that I was hang around some of the sconers. Lol.
And it got me to the SIM thingy. Not really sure if it is THAT advantageous, but heh, it's still recognition. And I guess it's something I cant live without either.
Still thinking of getting a H3 subject. I dont know really. Internal H3 is such a pain. I REALLY regret not getting an external one... =/ The game design one sounds interesting. Too bad you need physics. HAHA. Screw physics.
Bio + Art combo ftw. Full stop.
That's pretty much my school life for 2009. Now just to tackle 2010, starting with J1 orientation. Like I said, I need people, and I can't leave this company. Lol. I'm such an extrovert introvert.... Seriously.
Ooh. I just reliased I'm a morning person in 2009. Just reliased I'm super stone at night... talk about a 17 year lag... =/
Fun-O-Rama. OMG. I"M SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!! Just another event to burn another hole in my wallet. Seriously ACJC is such a money leecher... My heart sinks with each dollar I have to pay for fundraising.
[ Now Listening To: Panic At The Disco - New Perspective ]One thing I love about AC is the SHIRTS!!! Hahaha. My closet is now ACfied as much as me. Lol. And I'm sure there's more shirts to come. *hint* jumble sale, i'm waiting *hint* Could never get to one because of canoeing in 2009. But I forsee 2010 being a good year, despite the A-Level.
A-Level. I think i'll focus on this after my other commitments are over. :] That seems to be the trend right now... Haha.
[ Now Listening To: Taylor Swift - You're Not Sorry ]Nationals. I have high hopes for this. I dont want my CCA to close down. Me and Jarrod are there. C2 ftw! As for dragonboat... I'll let the team decide for me. It's a team sport after all. I'm up for giving up my Sundays for it. Not sure about the rest though...
Slightly reluctant for Canoeing Marathon though. 22km of C-paddling is just another way to spell DIE. Jarrod, I'm sorry if I'll hate you after that. Though I think that wont be the case - your bullshittyness never cease to amaze and amuse me. Lol. Bruno + borat ftw.
So here's my new years resolution:
1) A-Div Top 4.
2) C2 Silver.
3) 6As for A-Level.
Couldn't get one MT already... =/ But I can still aim high.4) Alfie. I'll get you soon enough...
though you're making it REALLY hard5) And finally, my superficial resolution for the year - I'll rid of my specs in school! I'll try (again) to wear contacts instead. :]
[ Now Listening To: 3OH!3 - Don't Trust Me ]But seriously, if anyone knows how to ask someone who hates public places and movies out, tell me...
On second thought, strike that last sentence out.
[ Now Listening To: Lady Gaga - Bad Romance ]Love this song!
Here's to a nice 2010 ahead. :]
