eventful week with remnants of the j1 life we all so long to relive, plus jolts of reality such as the maths test i'm ever certain i'll not not fail. all in all, this week has been a good summary to the past and an affirmative comfirmation of the future - the people who are here to stay in my life and the people and things that i have to bid goodbye. j2 is supposedly not a year to be trifled with. already, i spot people mugging at the class benches in the wee hours of the early morning when the sun hasnt even made its first peek. it did strike me hard that i should be working hard this year, but in a moment of epiphany, i realised being hardworking doesn't mean shutting up your windows from the social entity. so i survived my second week of sch with something to look fwd to everyday. though still trying to get used to 'hols lag', the lethargy at the end of the long day makes me feel accomplished rather than grumpy. (:anyway, here's how my week went.
mon was the meeting of jnrs. 2 classes, 49 jnrs! surprise surprise!! =) though we didn't interact much with them during the snr meet jnr session, i'm glad we've got rather lively and enthusiastic jnrs.
and i was so happy we got to keep the oac bench!!! i guess the thought of camping at the oac bench every morning will become a long term anti-depressant for me everyday. haha. (:
tues was a draggy day, ending with the first aep lesson of the year. we got our cubicles and i got my window seat! with 2 new neighbours siewching and mingjie, i guess i'll have to start thinking and talking philosophically. haha. =/
wed was ruiyi's birthday. the first birthday of 06a13. and the first time our class showered so much love, in the form of cakes, on the birthday boy. all thx to our very competent ct rep - king lam! (: haha. 3 cakes on one birthday! how could we not utilise it? so we decided to offer ggb free facial mask, which we watched in anticipation while he unknowingly received his belated birthday surprise. (: we all enjoyed it.
the peace before the storm.
the smack.
the shockcca exhibition. overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response of j1s, just as they were with our fervent pleas and highly attention grabbing bright orange ezoac shirts. we gave out 180 OH forms (i think), and tmr we shall see the results of our hardwork.
we are one-of-a-kind ezoac.after tt we celebeated lujie and eric's birthday. one of the most elaborated one i've been to. haha and one of those that i laughed the most. they're blessed. haha.
thurs was the start of the rain marathon which lasted till today. though we were all freezing and praying for the sun to come out, it didn't dampen our spirit that much. in fact, it made the gathering even more heart-warming. aep organized a farewell for lyly. but i shan't call it a farewell coz we had more fun reiterating the times we spent together than getting ourselves upset over the times we're going to miss. it was one of the best aep lessons i've ever attended. and we had loads of fun doing home econs. baking fries, pizzas and burgers for our dear princess. for the aep pple, it might have been the first home econs lesson attended.
thurs marked the addition of a new class bench too (:fri was campfire night. with the rain heavier than ever, the fire burned weaker than ever in the hall. but with people higher than ever, the atmosphere was not in the least forgone. clad in secondary sch uniforms, we tried disguising ourselves as little j1s, squeezing into the crowd and self-entertained ourselves by trying to step on gaobing's white shoes. i looked arnd at my classmates as we sang those emotional chinese hc songs. i realised we don't have much time left together, and i'll probably have to start cherishing every single moment spent with them before it gets too late.
with the entrance of 49 new jnrs to share the class bench with us, comes de departure of one of the greatest person ever that has entered our lives and is just starting to get etched into our hearts - ly2
the news came as a shock to many of us. and it took me quite long before the fact that she's going to leave us finally sank in. maybe not until the sendoff at the airport this morning. the final hug, the sight of her walking through the departure gates, the last wave...its not like she'll be gone forever, but our hearts just felt heavy. tears welled up unknowingly. she's left far more impact in our lives than we've thought to be.
all the best lyly. we'll see you again, soon.
we'll all have to depart one day eventually, and i wonder how i'd feel when suddenly there's no one left around you.
back to my weekend.
sat was ubin recee. it was ok i guess. i'm glad nothing disastrous happened to me. except for that punctured tyre. it was quite fun getting back on bikes again. and to the island, my supposed second home. heh.
