This is me |
 Before take-off
Hello World!
This is gonna be a short post...
Didn't really have much time to update for the past few weeks cause of all the OCIP stuff. (Shall rant about the t-shirt printing when I get back...)
It's the start of the June holidays and boy am I gonna be busy. With so may projects and school work due on the first day of school, I don't think I can even get a proper rest this hols.
June holiday plans:
Wk 1 - OCIP Nepal (yes Imma be climbing mountains jkjk just a little hiking with a 30kilo bag and cameras. All those lifting is gonna pay off haha. gonna spam photos when I get back)
Wk 2 - (After I get back alive...) Econs ILP
Wk 3 - PW WR stuff (damn I hate this subject but I love my group *huggggggs*)
Wk 4 - HARDCORE MUGGGGGGGINGGGGGGG for Blocks
P.S. I seriously think that they don't intend to give us a proper break. Like there's so much to do, so little time.
Now for a little bit bout life.
Glad that Term 2 is finally over. It's been stressful and tiring but fun nonetheless it was fun. A lot of things happened in the last 10 weeks and I have to say that not everything was fun. I've had my share of failure (actually A LOT of failure) not only in academics but also in character. I guess life in JC is not what I had expected it to be. Having all these troublesome people and annoying situations really pushes me to my maximum point but it's through these times where I get to see who are my true friends who will stand by me no matter what.
Taking off tomorrow and I REALLY EXCITEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!
Gonna take this time away from civilisation and the Internet to do a little bit of reflecting and clear my mind. Term 3 will be a new start and I'll come back stronger than ever.
[Shall leave the spamming for after I get back :))))))]
Annyeong ^^

Finally it's D-Day!!!! ( not the real one but ya....) Flying of tonight and I can't help but feel excited. This year, I'm spending Christmas in EUROPE!!!! Christmas in Europe seems to be really exciting but according to our guides, it's nothing special. We were told when we booked the tour that stores and tourist attractions would still be open on Christmas day itself, but prior to our departure, we had a briefing and were told that ALL SHOPS WILL BE CLOSED (dun dun dun dun....) So it turns out that sales staff cannot be fully trusted. Since nothing can be done now, might as well enjoy our trip in the snow (if there is going to be any....) A month ago when I was checking the weather forecast, it seemed like I'd be entering a cold cold winter zone, but recently, the temperature seems to be raising (????) It seems like the world is going kuku~ (It was snowing in Egypt and Vietnam?! Seriously I believe that someday it will start snowing in Singapore and the world would end. It's not that impossible after all, it was hailing ~) This will also be the first time I'll be bringing my TPC overseas (Y) BooYah! That means I'll be able to surf the net (provided that there is FREE wifi connection) According to our briefing, most hotels provide free wifi but then our tour leader sent an email stating that there will NOT be free wifi?! Like WTF can the 2 tour leaders coordinate, one says yes, other says no. One says bring AA batteries, other says bring AAA batteries. Sighs) I'm sooooooooo looking forward to a cold and snowy mountain in Switzerland (OMG SNOW!!! The fact that I'm a walrus tells you that I LOVE ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the COLD) I'm really hoping that there will be free wifi then I'll be able to update daily on my journey. Pray for a safe journey and everything to be fine here in Singapore. See ya! Labels: Christmas, city, cold, Europe, holiday, Life, Post O's, singapore, Winter X'mas in the City (Singapore Edition)
It's CHRISTMAS!!!
Was down at Orchard Road last weekend to take some pictures.
I've always been visiting Orchard during the Christmas period and I can't help but notice that the decorations are getting worse over the years. I remember when I was younger, there would be like awesome decorations in the shopping malls with all those Disney and what not characters. The outside of the buildings would be brightly lit and very colourful. Recently however, things are becoming more dull. Like this year, the main colours are just white and blue, unlike previous years where there would be a variety of colours and the different segments of roads would be in different colour schemes. (It's suppose to be "safe" colours for the drivers so that they won't mistake the decorations for traffic lights, but I guess the lack of colours defeat the purpose of even having decorations)
In the past, my favourite would be Centre Point Mall. Before it renovated, there used to be an area outside the building where there would be really nice decorations (like there was once it was M&Ms) After the renovation, it's just plain and boring.
All in all, I just feel like Christmas is no longer as colourful as it used to be and it's quite sad that the younger generation will not be able to enjoy the past.

So I was watching some random videos on Youtube and came across this series called “World’s Strictest Parents". So, randomly, I decided to watch the series.
There’s this one episode (i think is S4E3) that really made me think a lot. It talked a lot about treasuring education and showed the needs of respect and stuff…
Comparing our lives to those of kids in third world countries, we are VERY fortunate and sadly, not many people actually realize that. Most of the time, youths in developed countries complain about the slightest things. We get to study, but many are not making full use of this opportunity and think that education is a waste of time. I find that we should really think about what we really want in our lives, do we really just want to “have fun" and waste our youth.
Our parents have gone through so much to give us what we have and yet we are still complaining about what we lack. Not everyone is as fortunate as us who have internet and computers. There are many children out there that don’t even have daily necessities such as water and food, they suffer from diseases and illnesses and don;t even have the basic healthcare resources. There are children who don’t even know who their parents are.
Now that we know what we have and we realize how much we actually have, we should appreciate it and Thank God for all we have

4 more days left of the June Holidays (actually it's not much of a holiday for us sec 4's) We only have about 4 months left before our O Level's officially start on 21 Oct.
This June has been quite eventful with all the weird weather and stuff. Here's a little timeline of what happened for me.
First week of June:
- Went back to school for 3 days
- Had intensive lessons
- Did lots of weird stuff in school (as usual)
- Celebrated Mummy and Daddy's 20th Anniversary (We went to eat Jack's place after lessons and sang Karaoke for 7 hours from 8pm to 3am)
Second week of June:
- Planned out my holiday plan (which I didn't really follow)
- Did a lot of homework
- Started on Maple and Audition again
- 11 June : Class outing to Sentosa with 4C2 (we were practically high on that day. Had a lot of fun at the beach, played the luge and Taylor lost her shoe on the SkyRide. Went cycling as well and I fell twice...)
- Went swimming at the clubhouse after a long long while (I almost forgot how to swim)
Third week of June:
- Singapore was hit pretty hard by the Haze (from Indonesia)
- A very hazy week
Fourth week of June (aka this week )
- Chiong-ing homework to the max
- Was suppose to have our Badminton farewell but camp was cancelled due to the hazy conditions ㅠ ㅠ
- *Weird Weather* There was a hailstorm in Jurong yesterday
- Daddy bought Sniper 2 and Alien but I can't play until O's are over
- More chiong-ing to do
- Watch some Korean variety
So that about sums up my 4 weeks of slacking. But when school reopens, it'll be hell.
There's some stuff to look forward to when school reopens actually.
1. Mrs. Rupa would no longer be teaching us English. Now we have Mr. Tan YH
2. Ms. Vanitha is gonna give birth soon, so some other teacher will be joining her to teach us Literature (the identity of the other teacher is still a secret but I think I know who it is)
3. Mr. Keong will be spamming us with lots of prelim papers
4. I'm finally leaving Alex's tuition class ( this Sunday will be my last lesson)
5. Super Junior's concert will be in 1 week's time!!!!!
6. Mel's birthday is finally here!
But there are some stuff that I won;t
1. Mr. Eric's gonna leave soon (My SS is so screwed without his consultations)
2. Ms. Vanitha's leaving
3. No more Mrs. Rupa :(
4. More more more work
5. O Level's is just toooooooo near !
Anyway, that's about it. Will update soon!
Cheers,
Sam
