haven't blogged in nearly a month - a new record for me! HAHA this is terrible, I'm not keeping track of my JC life. But I guess I come home everyday really tired and stuff, but yes. RJ's been really really good to me, and given the chance, I wouldn't have changed the choices that I've made for anything.
God is faithful, truly He is. He has placed amazing people in my way, really good friends that I've made in my short first two months of my JC life, people who are willing to listen to me, willing to support me and I'm so so thankful to Him, blessed to have them. I should be "feeling the heat" of JC right about now, but I don't feel like dying, not just yet I would think. In the sense that, I look forward to going to school every morning because of my friends, and I'm glad I chose to do BCML (and not History oh dear THANK GOODNESS + grace + ayn I didn't take history) because they are really subjects I love.

but i'm starting to feel the exhaustion creeping in, somehow days in JC just wear me out more than they did in MG. and I guess I expected it, but its been great nonetheless. I've gotta start studying more though, hahaha............ I'll pick up my drive again :-) I hope.

infinitely proud of my bbjuniors, y'all did an amazing job through and through, and I love & miss you guys so much. enjoyed bandage entirely yay!

should totally blog more often. heehee. anyway, long weekend!

"But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities 

the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds, we are healed"

Isaiah 53:5

I was so in love with this verse when I read it (again, because i've read Isaiah before I REALLY LIKE THE BOOK OF ISAIAH hee but that was so long ago aiya my memory) during christian fellowship on Wednesday morning. It was a real reminder to me that God's love is above all our circumstances, that Jesus would go through such pains and lengths to free us of our sin, an ultimate display of grace and love. We remember how Jesus died on the cross for us on Good Friday, only to rise again on Easter Sunday. 

SO GUYS remember that above all, God loves you, and that Jesus was willing to die on the cross for each and every single one of us. :") 

amazing friday, HAHA, I can't express how thankful I am for my classmates + the circle :') they make mundane school routines a lot of fun, tons more interesting :')

started off the day with GP, hahaha Mr Cheong (aka Coach Cheong after the whole inter-class captains' ball yesterday HAHAHA "I told the CT of the other class that half my class are national youth captains' ball players"/"Guys, I know this is a friendly match....... but I want you to maim them.") returned us our diagnostics and went through essay structures while eating his breakfast of a sandwich and water dismally and telling us stories of pizza-for-breakfast-during-his-college-days HAHAHA.
also, manda brought her HSM2 notepad for fang & i today HAHAHA (last friday i was listening to HSM songs on fang's phone so HAHA)
PW zzzzfest hehehe :/
we finished off cell structure for bio, and we had some sort of a test thingy which was kinda well alright I guess but I was so sleepy I wanted to die HAHAHA. z z z z z
Math lecture was hilarious though because Ms Lim taught the reciprocal graphs thing in tutorial so we understood (THANK GOD FOR A GOOD MATH TEACHER WHOM I CAN UNDERSTAND HAHA) already and it was the last lesson of the week and everything......... so practically all of us were on the class whatsapp group talking complete rubbish HAHAHA we were laughing so hard the row was shaking HAHAHA.

CAKING SURPRISE AFTER SCHOOL hahaha we bought a cake for cassia to welcome her to the class so we caked her and ate cake and stuff HAHA. Went to J8 with Fang & Alison after school for subway lunch (SUBWAY AGAIN HAHA had subway on wednesday w alison & ejaz but oh well) and we actually ate and went back to school straightaway to look for ejaz......
ended up slacking in the canteen w fang manda alison & viggy HAHAHA IT WAS HILARIOUS. we were listening to music from my phone and viggy picks all the manly-ish songs on my phone like fall out boy & imagine dragons but when fang got to pick the songs he was all for six degrees of separation "GUYS SHHHHH SHUT UP LISTEN LISTEN TO THIS SONG" and he sang it with such gusto & also some Taylor Swift like "LOVING HIM WAS LIKE DRIVING IN A MASERATI DOWN A DEAD END STREET" HAHAHAHAHA.
also we wrote a card to ejaz :') Laughed so much coming up with things to write in the card HAHAHA and travelled all the way to the PAC and crashed some dramafeste briefing to pass it to him :') I love my screwed up kids so much okay. Had so much fun laughing and chilling (though I couldn't go back to MG)
went for LBA interview with manda, and basically we were chilling for at least an hour before we went in for our turn. We spent that hour laughing so hard at what went down during math lecture and earlier that afternoon. Also, manda edited viggy's mugshot with like 10 different moustache styles and 3 different hairstyles so viggy's look ranged from that of a serial killer to a prata man HAHAHAHA we sat and laughed so hard :")
Interview was alright! :-) Because our interviewer was really nice and friendly and it wasn't an awkward affair HAHAHA except for the *incident*. Took a train down to botanics with manda so my dad could pick me up from there :')

GOOD DAY GREAT COMPANY. Thank God so so much for putting such amazing people in my life in RJ, I miss MG so much but it's all good here too :') fantastic way to start march :')

So we've been getting along on our legit timetable, with lectures and tutorials in their full glory. Can't say it's the most relaxed schedule ever, but somehow the day doesn't feel as draggy as it did in secondary school, and I'm thankful for the company in school.

got to school early this morning despite protected time (ie, school starts at 9.40, but I got to school at 7+) sat around and did a bit of work at raja block before fangshuo & ejaz came, helped me pack my things and we moved over to the windy benches HAHA. We did some legit work, I finished a part of my lit worksheet with ejaz, and fangshuo was lying around doing his work HAHA.
HAHA it was funny when we told ejaz that dui = ahem in chinese and he literally went round asking everyone in the area whether or not it was true HAHAHA. went to the canteen to get some food (being scorned for my eating habits YET AGAIN. On a side note, I really like the apple bread it's so yumz hehe) before school started, and walked around school a bit too HAHA it was a fun morning with the two retards :')

started off the day with a bio lecture, hm, it was alright! The lecturer was having a lot of fun teasing simon though it was q funny HAHA. and after bio lecture, we had a lot of free time because our lit tutor was late so this was what we did in class:

mega love for my class seriously, (': 14S03S on the way to becoming best class ever HAHA

anyway our lit tutor came HAHA so we proceeded with lessons. She finally gave out a prose for us to assess it was the best thing ever I MISS MY PROSES HAMANA.
chem lecture omg mega stoning during chem lecture HAHAHA damn. we learnt new things though! balancing redox reactions, its a lot of steps to remember aaah so hard but I love chem whoo. lunch after that was good HAHA gave my food away to fangsuho because I can't finish and since manda went home to get her things, she da-baoed fries for the whole class YUM YUM FATS HAHAHAA but omg seriously so yumz yet so guilty.
CHEM PRAC LAST LESSON OF THE DAY!!!!! We did titration though aaah titration the bane of my existence back to haunt me after Sec 4 HAHA. I'm so bad at it now, LACK OF PRACTICE HAHAHA. The chem labs are probably the only rooms in RJ with no air conditioning, and the temperature was so nice and warm and sleep-inducing z z zzzzz.
did some work with viggy, alison, maddie & fangshuo (who takes my things so often i'm q used to it HAHAHAHA) (before they had to go for basketball anyways) before going for the council briefing! did the chem prac + chem and stuff.
the council briefing was a little intimidating, but then again, MG has trained us to pass any uniform checks that may come our way HAHAHA once you've passed MG spotchecks YOU HAVE PASSED THEM ALL HAHAHA I do miss MG. AH i really want council so bad God please help me HAHA dang :(((((  talked to berenice and adeline while waiting for my dad to pick me up, it was nice! (:

ok i'm tired goodnight HAHA

today was the last day of our slack timetable, but it was good fun because after math lecture on composite functions and weird graphs and weird set notations, plus an admin-filled half-block civics, we went down to celebrate the jan-feb bbs' birthdays :-)))

cheesecake!!!! we cut too many slices so we used the remainder for cake smashing HAHAHA I got so much cake smashed on my face cake was in my nose and on my specs and ew HAHA

but it was good cake. 

JAN & FEB BBS WHOOP

the awesome class, thank God for giving me such cool classmates :') 

A LOT A LOT of stoning in school today while waiting for the CA interview in the late afternoon zzz but I'm done with all my CCA trials (hopefully i get into something hopefully i get through council interviews I REALLY WANT COUNCIL OH MY GOSH anyway) 

it was a good day spent, the first half of it at least! :-) 

thus far

I haven't blogged in a long time (by my standards, anyway), but it's essentially been CNY & lectures-only-timetable-schooldays.
It was so good to go back to mg on friday and not feel a tinge of awkwardness going around the school, seeing so many familiar faces, meeting my lovely-beyond-compare teachers & juniors. Watching TDD rehearsals + bandage auditions, aaaah super super nostalgic.
feels like home.

CNY day #1 polaroid w the brudderboy :-)

side note: I ate so much during Chinese New Year, I am still disgusted with myself damn. 

hunting around for new stationery - two mildliners, one purple and the other deep yellow, and two 0.28s yay

also, found the silver linings novel, I was happy hapz papz :-) still reading it now, but I think I should finish age of innocence first, ngahhh. 

DIY phone cases are fun 

picnic with the class in the HP canteen hahahaha, it was a lot of fun, a lot of good food, a lot of abuse (MRT gaaame) and a lot of nonsensical chats with the classmates :') 

14S03S :') 

w the boob in the train after take 5! 

which was pretty fun, apart from getting all sandy. 

cuties today at sunday school :-) 

MY NEW JANSPORT - in bright pink (:

my old one has served me very well for the past 2+ years.

my favourite kind of dinner.

growing fat, gotta seriously watch what I eat. back to the holiday diet!
super sleepy, three lectures tomorrow + a lot of briefings + chorale auditions HAHA worth a shot!
x

we have really relaxed timetables, at least until the 19th of February, when our actual timetables kick in.

On Friday, I had two lectures. In the morning, we had about an hour of break time before our first lit lecture, so hung around with the class in the canteen talking and comparing people to celebrities HAHA. God has super super super blessed me this year okay, like I have an amazing OG + my class is super cool. I have no complaints, no regrets.
First lit lecture of my life! Our lit teachers seem pretty nice + getting an angmoh teacher for victorian lit = YAY HAHA. The only bummer: Lit diagnostic test the following Monday, our next Lit lecture. We're analysing poetry ughoihsaoghwu I suck at poetry :-( Boo. Had a short break before math lecture, so went down w the class to get some food (queued up for the waffles @ 7/11 hahaha well apparently the ones at the RI cafe are nicer)
Maaaaaath ok I was pretty huh when they went through the definitions of functions but I managed to understand after that HAHAH I was q proud of myself after the whole lecture. Spent time with part of the OG, Hong Teong Derrick Yeeting & Audrey before going off! slacked outside 7/11 HAHAHA and made them walk me to marymount gate when I was leaving school :))) HAHA.

homecoming ♡
I've missed MG SO MUCH HAHA even though it's only been a week. Mrs Choo brought me into the staffroom, needed to settle the deco at the buzz area aaah! It was q funny because rachel (she was an ex student! and now she's relieving at MG hahaha I just met her on Friday hahaha) was freaking out over singing for the CNY concert. & she was like "Mrs Choo help me sing with me!" and I was like "haha she can't even read chinese". Sal & grace came totally drenched after that because it was raining so heavily HAHA. Love how Mrs Choo's the SWC yay yay yay we had like brownies & cheesecake & milo & cookies brought to us yuuuummms. super love the MG teachers and how they're always so concerned about our wellbeing.
chilled a lot, tried to do deco. ate super a lot too HAHAH but finally put the deco up after a while!!! hung around school for a bit. my phone was super dying so I basically camped at Mrs Choo's table charging my phone for like half an hour whilst whatsapping her HAHA, her table's a blind spot or something. perf hiding spot! talked to grace & Mrs Lim before leaving school, aaah how I love MG :') feels so so so much like home.

here is a photo of my fave og @ marymount field pre-war games (essep faqih's eyes are closed)

HH05, 14S03S

orientation was intensity, but I had so much fun + the OG was really really cool, I'm really starting to miss them arrgggh :-( it's okay, OG breakfast tomorrow :-)
I have no photos as of now because they - namely, Adriel hasn't - haven't uploaded the photos yet grrr :( but I will update this post once the photos are uploaded yay! had war games yesterday, that was pure intensity, fell down in the muddy marymount field a lot + wore muddy socks mmm. wrecked my old pair of school shoes HAHAHA it was filthy.
danced our hearts out, sang our hearts out, cheered our hearts out. Loved Orientation, so so blessed to have been through the whole process of it all, blessed with an amazing OG, and thankful to have been placed, of all schools, in Raffles. 4 years ago I wouldn't have imagined that I would ever step foot in RI, but I'm sorta glad I did, as much as I miss MG.

today, we got our class allocations, BCML REPRESENT! We played a few icebreaking games with our Civics Tutor (haha he's pretty funny) and our classmates, and I think I have pretty nice classmates! Aaah I hope they don't judge my weirdness sigh. 2 truths 1 lie, which was quite interesting to come up with. Settling admin matters in class. hmmmm.
14S03S (or, 3S hahaha I think we have a really good letter of the alphabet)
after that we had a really long break in between civics and our first bio lecture (the first lecture of my life) and we just hung around in the canteen for about two hours.... Got bored after finishing my food and walked around the school with Kristin :-) Really really missed Kris, and I'm thankful for someone like her in RJ whooo! Love you girl :* sat in the noisier side of the library (the library is HUGE and it looks really good btw HAHAHA + there is a movie watching corner, we were sitting there) to talk hehehe :')
went for my first bio lecture with Natalie, new classmate whoohoo! she was so excited about her new set of zebra pens & mildliners HAHAHA. We jumped straight into the syllabus right after the lecturer gave an intro of As bio and our teachers and the assessment mode, resources and whatever. I was like whoaaaa okay but it was a pretty good lecture! I don't think I'll regret taking bio, even though I still want to do physics HAHA but its okay because I like both :-)
had four talks back to back for the next 3h!?!?!?! I just kinda drifted off halfway hahahaha sat at the back of the PAC catching bits and pieces of it while whatsapping the boobs & Mrs Choo & the OG HAHAHA. Mmmm well.

Chem + lit lecture, and then rushing back to MG because I end early! I end at 11.30 but we're only allowed to leave school at 12.30, some school rule thing. hm. :(
OH WELL, homecoming :')
