It's funny how I remembered CJC's open house last year:
I remember getting the goody bag,
squealing in delight because there freaking is a can of lucido-l hair wax in it,
went to Interact Club's booth (yes, I know),
got their souvenir of a tealight,
experienced the hype and warmth of the school,
got lured into the PAC by a teacher,
sat through the wonderful performances,
sat through BroPaul's speech and thought him rather scary,
awed by the entrance toilet,
awed by the freaking pretty library, and
thinking that I'll never get into this school because the uniform sucks.
They say first impressions matter, but are never accurate.
Life still rock.
I'm wasting so much precious time now.
My new goal is to switch on the lappy only once a week. Damn.
My anti-poker oath is progressing rather smoothly...
until I saw the Ace of Spades Tshirt at FarEast with Janey, Chanel & Cindy today.
DAMN.
Next week will be the week where I shall think of nothing but books. And it must stay that way through the whole year. It will.
I feeling so low and horrid now after reading Janey's pessimistic post. Help.
Shutup. Getout. Loveya.

The holidays opened with OCIP and closed with the chalet.
How fitting.
School's opening again tomorrow.
Panic ensused earlier because I almost couldn't find my black rubber band. XD
Black is boring. I've pinks and reds and yellows and rainbows but I seldom buy black rubber bands. Sigh.
For every uphill you endured, you're rewarded with a downhill to enjoy.
Night cycling taught me that.
Chalet had been really fun. Had I slept less. Hahaha.
I'm a sucker for sleeping, really.
School's starting. I'm losing interest in poker.
But is it true, or am I just making myself believe it?
Sometimes, all there's is a thin line between reality and otherwise.
Gahhh. J2 year tomorrow. I'd better sound happy. XD
Weeeeee~ I'm missing school food. Canyoubelieveit?!
I'm always loving school reopenings. =)
Your past is what makes the present you; don't you think? XD
The season I was looking forward to has come
The wind is stirring, the city is taking life

31st Decembers.
2010 is coming in a few hours!
So people, embrace and welcome it with all your hearts!
Finally, you don't have to write a 200_ as the year for your dates.
I remember, vividly, I spent the last few sun hours of 2008 at MarinaSquare's food court.
I even spoke the words out. If I'm not wrong:
"We're spending the last few hours of 2008 here looking at the Marina waters! How sad. What will it be like next year?"
Last year I was with Jocelyn. We were too depressed over having no result after ONE MONTH of job searching. Holiday clique was playing pool/bowling and both of us were obstinate enough to not play pool that we landed up at the foodcourt camwhoring. (Omg, I still have the pictures.)
Then, we still didn't know our Olvl results and eventually our fates. We were both convinced to get the same results, go to the same school, get into the same class, be in the same PW group, sit together in class as we've had in KSS. Well, we did get the same results, but due to something, we didn't get into the same school, and the rest is history.
One freaking year flew past. I'd still say, it seemed like God's will for me to land up in 1T17. It'd been an eventful year for us, and one of my funnest. Next year will prolly be less fun, or more. No matter what, 2009 will always be one of the years I'd keep in my mind.
Tonight I'd prolly camp over at Michelle's with HolidayClique, just like last year. Oh, how time flies.
2009 has come and gone. Never will one be able to even has the slightest hint of what their future will turn out to be.
Goodbye 2009, that's the tribute to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay. That was 2009. XD
Let's blog backwards.
Wednesday
I am burnt.
I don't feel like roasted meat. My skin feels like a frying pan. I am not kidding. XD
And since my sunburns are always horrible, you wouldn't wanna be me.
Sentosa ytd with OneTeeSeventeen was fun! It looked bleak at first, but after that it was darn cool.
We saw TWO STARFISHES. And it's a great thing because I've never seen starfishes live before - in fishtanks or the sea.
Yup, dramatic day. Janey believed Chanel when she said that the water below the floating bridge is shallow enough for one to stand up. Well, it was, the last time we were at Sentosa. So Janey went down to check out if it really was shallow. It wasn't. So she was stranded there, unable to climb onto the bridge even when this hot guy tried to pull her out with one ROW of people watching. Then she swam to shore and emerged with cuts oozing blood all over the legs.
Drama?
Definitely. XD
Tuesday
Mugging session with Janey at woodlands failed horribly. In the end, we sat on the simulator in TimeZone, played DJMax and watched Avatar with Joel. It's this antiselfdiscipline thinggi of us. XD
Monday
Went out to get books and uniform for kid brother. Then my fever acted up and I went home to sleep. Sigh.
I'm actually kinda guilty for the way I treat myself. XD
Two days back, I was burning with fever.
Now, I'm burning with sunburns. Horrid me. XD
And I'll be out later as soon as MissOng finally calls me to tell me she've reached.
Look Jong, this is the post I've managed to type out while waiting for your sms. Hahahaha!
I can't yet end up, I can't stop
I've always got it over in such a way, haven't I?

Hi all.
It's a Sunday night and I've realised I'm kinda screwed for next year.
I thumbed through InternationalTrade notes for a freaking hour, hoping to fill at least the first page of the notes.
And I can't make any sense out of it.
They went on and on about cars and rice and Thailand and Japan and comparative advantage and lower opportunity cost and (wthisthis?) protectionism.
It makes no sense.
Oh bless me. Let me see some light in Econs.
And yeah, it's prolly Econs that got my fever running.
Fever's so not fun. =(
Ruining my major plans for the coming week.
Shaved ice is good.
X'mas was enjoyable. But no stayover because of some stuffs. =(
It's the third day of X'mas! More piccies as soon as Jo gets them up.
Three french hens,
Two turtle ducks,
and a partridge in a pear tree.
[Edit:]
Things I have learnt from POKER:
1) All you need is a little bit of luck, but lots and lots of guts.
2) Actually, no matter how much guts you have, it all comes to having luck.
3) If you try, you may not win. If you don't, you don't even have the chance to win.
4) So actually, skills worth more than luck.
5) Regret is a horrible thing. (Esp. after you folded a three of a kind.)
6) Concentration is darn important. (If you're feverish, prepare to lose big moneyyy.)
7) So, poker is a tiring game.
8) I should actually channel this poker energy into studying and not on virtual chips.
9) Sigh.
10) I should sleeep now. XD
