hello friends!!!!!!! or myself!!!!!!! it is currently saturday may 23 11.17pm (AS I AM TYPING THIS) and i just got home around half an hour ago from school!!!! yes i literally spent a whole SATURDAY in school so it is a 6-day school day and 1 day weekend for me and some other students as well but oh well!! :) so yeah today our school had college day and gala dinner. and apparently college day is supposedly like secondary school's speech day but cchy does not have speech day so //inserts moon emoji// yeah i am so dead tired this week had been such a long week with rehearsals till 7+, 8 but here's how almost everything went. :)

we had like around 4 rehearsals altogether i think, 3 wednesdays and 1 friday and for all the rehearsals we had to wear court shoes (omg those shoes that kill your feet and toe muscles) speaking from past experiences and current experiences too. hahaha so basically my job will be at the foyer to welcome guests and bring them to the receptionist table and to the concourse and also greeting the guest of honor, mr gan, the minister of health -- woah there right!!!!! and dinner was provided and i basically hung around with the same group of people - yuting cecilia vionna audrey and marcus while joey made friends (who also eventually became my friends okay) like jasmine and desiree and francina hahah :)

as the hall was going to be used for gala dinner, college day was held in lt4 where parents, vip and awardees will be, and lt3 where most student audiences will be at. and yea we had a live streaming in lt3 la but then it turned out that everyone brought homework so it seemed like a detention or study club or something hahaha. as for me i was really too lazy to do my lit so i just stared into blank space and enjoyed the indian dance, modern dance and choir and just lazed around ya know. who spends a saturday morning in school watching seniors and people you dont know receiving awards and bursaries and scholarships sigh it makes me feel stupidddddd. but yeah saw less than 5 familiar faces onstage HAHAH and the event ended quite early, like earlier than expected. so yay. then afterwards we saw the college day ambassadors going home and i'm like "noooooo" like skyxis was like "still have gala dinner ah, huh so sad i go home first" HAHAHA and then niger was like "so you are staying back all the way till gala? ok bye see you tonight again then" HAHAHA ya i really stayed back in school for the whole day (and i had lunch at pastamania ok and we talked to jasmine's friend and another friend i am so sorry friends i don't know your name la ok much love hahaha)

so i helped some people tie french braids it looks retarded and loose and messy but i tried, i really did!!!!! but not bad la the one for the emcee. cecilia's hair was so thick she needed both me and joey to help her tie and her hair was a disaster spelt with a capital D HAHAHA. 12 poppers went to the hall like one hour earlier for a final rehearsal for the finale. we had to like get the angle of the poppers right and stuff so ya HAHAHA. the rehearsal was such a draggggg we ended at like 5+ ish and we had to have dinner and made sure that we looked neat and stuff and be in position by 5.30 it was such a rush i only ate a couple of mouths for my dinner. by 5.30, blazer checked, tie pin checked, name tag checked, collar pin checked, tie checked, we were in positions and ready to great any guests who were coming. hahaha it was so awkward especially since i had to greet some guests in chinese!!! i did hesitate and stutter a little with the chinese part but all is well, all is well. i thought we had to welcome a lot of guests but turns out not because the teachers were welcoming the guests so we were pretty awkward and hesitant whether we should welcome the guests umm..... yeah. and finally the minister came??? i was so worried that i wouldn't be able to see him because of my height and because there were over 20 people crowded at the foyer but luckily, minister gan was wearing marron, a pretty distinct colour shirt from the rest of the males there so phew for me and audrey!!! HAHAHA. and after we greeted the minister, our duty was pretty much done, and i left the popper thingy which would be 2 hours later. so i went back to LT3 and took pictures and talked and just slacked with yuting cecilia vionna and audrey and then later marcus joined us also. but before that we took pictures at the concourse. and we took more pictures when we returned to the lecture theatre hahaha the aircon was so shuang and cooling especially since we were all wearing double layered long sleeved shirts with our ties on and for some weird reason or another i could not balance walking barefooted HAHAH oh my gosh. then at 8 plus ish yuting marcus vionna and audrey left because well they were done with duty so good for them!!!!! we went to the back of the hall during the last auction section to well, prepare, and that's where we saw niger and the bballers and interactors going to the photobooth and we also saw jonathan HAHAHA yah. ok the programme of the gala dinner also went by quite quickly so in a moment we were backstage preparing ourselves just for the popper. i was reallyyyyyyy scared idky like scared that the popper wont pop and stuff la hahah. and desmond was telling us about a super funny situation i cannot say in words here hahaha. and finally the finale, and it was actually super easy to pop the popper HAHAH and yay done with life. afterwards we took a group photo (mr kaw said we are part of the performance wAT) and we went back to lt3. so good to be able to take off my tie, blazer and court shoes!!! and we took a lil J1 shot cos why not?????? it was a vvv tiring but good day i guess i just hope i can make more friends in ambass then maybe i'll like the cca more a little bit more hahaha. :))) sent jasmine home yayyyyy. and 11.30 i was skyping with celine and chanel and jo and duncan ahahaha it was pretty random but -- indonesia this weekendddddddd yas out of this little tiny red dot a short break ya

and i woke up really really really tired this morning... but the band was great we sang build! after so so so so long omg i really miss the ilc period so much, the cambodians and all my other overseas friends. :(((( but oh well stuck in singapore for the rest of my life. and lunch was pretty funny too with tricia and dayna idk it's the same old good company i guess. :)))

back home and i have yet to complete my homework. ugh. mid years coming, gp paper is this friday homaigosh i am so freaking nervous help. but on a side note, it's week 10 of term2 and we have week 11 and then i would have officially survived a complete full term of junior college oh my wow. this just reminded me of how fast time is passing. and the seniors say "just make sure you promote" ok i only have a few weeks before mid years i am motivated to make the best out of it (hah we'll see) for gp i think i really have to open the newspapers everyday this week and get some general knowledge into my head omg.

//it's okay

till next time x

no because school tomorrow
no because there is no holiday this week
no because i am not ready for school
no because time is flying past too damn quickly
no because mid years is coming soon
no because i am not prepared for a whole week of school

ugh. i just wasted my whole weekend away, no kidding. i literally did nothing yesterday, what even. the fact that i do not have my phone with me doesn't help me to focus on my work. i myself know how much readings i have to do and how lacking i am in class and how shitty i am but what am i doing? nothing. i freaking need to get my shit together dang it. if i keep procrastinating i do not know what will be the end of me. ugh. ok school aside, today was bev's baptism and almost the whole jc ministry was in maroon or red top or bottom or jacket or whatever. yes, #squadgoals. and we had jc lunch discussing for the next bibletalk and the brothers' conversations are so funny HAHAHA. so yea i still got a pile of things to do and pw and newsroom is not helping either.

i don't even know my schedules now that is how disorganised i am. i cannot even stand myself sometimes. so i have gala dinner rehearsals till 8pm this wednesday, next wednesday and next friday and finally gala dinner next saturday itself. and on 5th june i'll be going back to cchy to help out for the student leaders camp um. and then we may or may not be going to indonesia on the last weekend of may. (yes we got another cousin there) sooooo long since i saw my cousins in indonesia. so yea things are probably gonna get busier so goodluck to me if i remain this lazy and disorganised and if i continue procrastinating like nothing is happening. ugh. oh my goodness joween you are in junior college already MIND YOU!!!!!!

okay 2 international history tests/quizes this week and consultations and gala dinner rehearsal (i pray v hard my feet can live with the court shoes) and i'd probably be dead by the end of this week. i need to brace myself for the week ahead and get my homework done ok byE.

till next time. x

p.s. happy mother's day to motherrrrr and all the mumsies out there thank you mom for being the best best bestest mom on earth and taking care of us and loving us unconditionally i know im a stubborn arrogant lazy lil shit and i never say this but i love you very very much and appreciate all the things you have done for me and er and juan. i will try to be a good girl love u!!!

hello hello!!! so a whole week of school is gonna start again in like 15 hours' time of something and i am not prepared and not excited but i think i will do a short post about today since i do not know when i will update again hahaha. and i have a couple of undone homework but umm that can wait a little while ya :-) :-) :-)

so it was raining very very heavily at like 2.15am in the morning at it woke me up from my sleep instead of allowing me to sleep better. i don't even know how long it took me to fall asleep again oh well. anyways it was a drizzly morning and we got to catch a cab easily yay. and today, we had the youth band leading the service!!!! and i was totally enjoying it ya hahahah and and and elysia had her own part and i had goosebumps going omg and i really really liked the songs today. anyway we had the director of 1965 to come and talk to us about this film which will be airing at the end of july and yea basically the whole time we were watching a few snippets and looking at pictures of the film and tricia wants to watch it because there's joanne peh inside ummm and bantzu beside me was just spazzing over joanne peh and qi yi wu HAHAHA so yeah it was like a preview to the movie la. and today's service ended of julia's baptism!!!! dang it was weird calling her julia cos i have been calling her julie ever since sister's retreat in feb/march HAHAHA. but yah went up onstage even though i only got to close earlier this year be touched la beyond HAHAHA. aand our picture was in the video too omg HAHAAH yah. and afterwards it was phototaking session because julie is popz today. anddddd ten of us went for lunch today. me joey tricia dayna robbie julie(a) alicia vivian nick and jay and ya finally fnally finally had lunch with the friends i dont even know when was the last time i lunched with friends after church. and jay finally does not have campus lunch??? hahaha. lunch was very very funny because nick waited super long for his meltz to arrive and he was not happy and we, or maybe i, kept saying huimin underscore beyond, which is her instagram name and she says that it is very embarrassing cos she created in sec1 and it was "the trend" HAHAHA and she gave up and finally said that she will change her username so that i wont tease her hahahahah super cute omg julie. and then theres nicholas s neo and joey y song HAHAH basically ya i had a goodluck sitting with nick and julie and tricia because they are the funniest and lamest and most retarded people ever, still love you all ya <3333 so yup that sums up my sunday afternoon.

time to get some homework done and prepare for a whole week of school and prepare for midyears and not screw up in life. cca on wednesday and friday so i am not sure if i can make it for midweek um. yeah. good luck all the best have fun for school and everything else coming this week guys!!!

cheers cheers cheersssssssssss to the long weekend because today is labour day aka holiday aka no school aka more homework aka probably make up tutorials. :-)

for some reason i was very very very extremely tired yesterday but okay. luckily it was the earliest dismissal day for the week!!! we ended our angel mortal game which lasted for two months??? and i got a cupcake from chun ahhhhh thanks chun!!! and we drew new mortals ah. okay then we chionged home and changed because shakespeare in the park!!! it was my second experience as the first time was in lower sec, macbeth, and we were like soooo far away we couldn't see anything. okay so we went to somerset to satisfy my cravings of everything with fries!!!! dang it that is my favourite place to go omg the fries is so so so good ok!!!!! and walia got her mac because she craved HAHAHAH and yea we followed some pj people to fort canning because none of us (me joey walia valenza) knew how to go so... and it was drizzling heavily. luckily it wasn't a very heavy rain if not the play would have been cancelled. just a little drizzle. and so umbrellas were everywhere. we got a pretty decent spot, more decent than 4 years ago lol. the play was delayed because of the drizzle but it continued despite the drizzle. and magically, like once the play started, the rain stopped!!!!!! during the fifteen minutes break, we went to find the others from our class - chun zhe ern faith jasleen michelle raam safura (and liming) and they were sitting right in front and when we were finding them, i legit stepped in mud omg so gross ok. anyways the play was good, although i could only understand a little of the jokes part (better than macbeth when i didnt understand anything) hahaha. and we took the train with walia and raam and reached home at around 11.30 omg so tired ok. ya.

slept so late and woke up at like 7.30 even though its a holiday hahaha. because we had bibletalk today all the way at kovan with the campus uni people!!!! we first met dayna at sembawang in the train and she actually ran for the train hahaha. and surprise, when we reached there, we saw some campus poly people!!! and i was so so happy when i saw ely and jay and duncan because they are our batch's poly people and i miss the campus people la. and there were so many oly and uni people whom i have never seen before hahaha. we went to a nearby cc where martin shared a short lesson and then we played tchoukball and duh i didnt touch the ball because no. hahaha but during the break me and joey and dayna played with the ball and just threw randomly, using it as a volleyball sometimes hahaha. we played like around 3 rounds altogether i think??? and then some people played captains ball but i just sat and watch because balls? no. hahaha and we left soon. even though it was really hot and sweaty, i enjoyed the company of over 50 christians!!! many love!!!!

time to touch my homework, my brain says.
no, my heart shouted.

okay friends lets hope i survive the coming weeks till june!!! because this coming week we will have two cca sessions i might not be able to make it to church midweek next friday idk cries. and my phone is going insane and i probably have to survive without a phone AND a laptop for over a week. oh. well. life's good. maybe without my phone i will be able to be more focused on my work aye. i really really have to promote. and to promote i have to do well for my tests and everything because it all sums up for our promos grade i am so scared.

on a sidenote we have moved into the fifth month of 2015 so it is like my 4th month in junior college already. things have not been very smoothsailing. many things happened, some things changed, but all is well. all will be well.

till next time.

ps it feels so weird i keep thinking today is saturday and when i tell myself today is friday it feels weird because im not going to church for midweek tonight because we had bibletalk this morning already. plus teens had their own things too in church in the morning. ya omg.
