roaming

This week has seriously been one of the slackest, in terms of the situation presented. I have been camping out mostly in the canteen, watching pple ard me eating meal after meal. i guess that is a downside to having such a wide variety of fairly good food.

Yet, there is a certain unsettled feeling that comes with not knowing what CCA you will end up in, not knowing what is to come in the next few months, not knowing the school, its culture, its very people. more than a school, this seems like a centre. opportunities abound, and many pple to take them too.

a fresh start

I have been wanting to publish a post abt cebu but have yet to do it!!!! not mentioning the article:) sigh

yet, i know that if i do not jot down my memories abt l'adeaumus 2007, i'm likely to forget that as well:). a few weeks before i went to rjc, i suddenly started meeting so many pple who were from there. apart from the choir pple, there were 3 on the trip with me, as well as several teachers. on the first day, walking through the school, it comforted me quite a bit to know that pple i liked and respected had walked through these hallowed halls(well not physically, but you get the idea).

Lucky for me, half of my OG were non-Rafflesians so i did not feel too out of place:), not that it was much of a problem anyway since everyone was really nice, esp our OGLS! it was a real surprise that our house won war games, since we kind of gave up our territory:p. nonetheless, it was a nice surprise:)

I felt quite bad about the EA and the lack of effort put in by me. Having fun or winning? was the statement i used to comfort myself, despite knowing the fallacy of this statement. games ARE all the sweeter if you win them too, no?

although i really felt tired or rather DEGEN over the weekend with all the meetings at VIVO and the esplanade, im really glad that we made the effort to go for it, since it was something that we would not have time for after school gets into full swing.

My OG was really nice and i enjoyed "the times we spent together", all the OG dinners and Degen sessions. I really hope now that i do get to stay after O level results are released. Nonetheless, i must say that i do miss IJ, esp after gg back briefly on Friday. In rj, i meet many like minded pple, which can be good or bad. however, in IJ, being with pple who have different priorities in life always serves as a wakeup call to remind me that the world does not simply centre around our own lives and interests, rather, this is a world where opposites live in harmony, and eventual unity.

overwhelmed

I must be the most muddle-headed creature on Earth. I have no less than 3 blogs (dating from 2003), primarily because of my short-term memory. Wonder of wonders(or not), i have managed to forget the password AND username to all my accounts, only to have later found out that retrieving them is as simple as ABC. and to think that i will be starting school in JC tomorrow:).

Frankly, a large part of my absence from the world of blogging could be due to sheer laziness and a lack of motivation. My rather mundane life falls short of the excitement characteristic of a post that cause people to bother wasting a precious minute of their life staring at.

However, after returning from the Philippines, and partying for 1 and a half months(since Olevels ended), I not only feel an overwhelming sense of emotions, thoughts and feelings, but also feel the need to exercise my writing skills(if I could even name them so).

This is but the prelude, with more due to come hopefully. For now though, i must finish up the Cebu report, before i find myself knee deep in JC life.

Till then, and hopefully, till soon.
