Imaginations running wild.
Can't keep still during class.
Doodling and nonsense crap on the notes.
Keep dozing off during tutorials and lectures.
Eyes hurt from the continuous rubbing to keep awake and trying to strain to keep eyes open.
"Worms" keep appearing on the notes as the hand gives in to the brain and goes into the "sleep mode".
Stomach growls as each lesson passes and the lunch break seems so far away.
Nothing much gets into the head as the words from the lecturer or tutor passes into one ear and exits from the other.
We wait anxiously for the favourite lesson of the day: RECESS/LUNCH.
Incessant chattering fill the atmosphere.
Laughter fills the air.
Jokes fill the brain.
Food fills the empty stomachs.
We wait anxiously for the least favourite lesson of the day, especially when it's the last lesson of the day at 415pm! PE!!
Half an hour into the lesson and we are still seated prim and proper at the viewing gallery.
We fill the air with complains, jokes and plans about the run that was about to begin.
We decide to run as a group.
On the way, the group broke into pairs.
Encouragement and shouts of "hurry up" filled our minds.
The leg wants to run.
But the brain wants to stop.
The heat makes it even more unbearable to think.
PE ends in 25 mins after completion of 3 k, (2 rounds outside school).
Sense of achievement lifts our spirits as we enter the school with such a remarkable timing (when we actually planned to walk and be back in school in 30 mins).
Friendship builds up on the way.
"Jia you" was the common word to hear as friends encouraged one another to carry on.
A typical Monday in the life of Rachel...
--------------------
I really want to apologise to the YES committee for being unable to have gone for the YES session on Sun afternoon. I know it was going to be fun. It sounded fun. But ...haiz...sorry!
And YC really opened my mind to many things during the past week. How the Bible is so different in all versions and how faithful and enthusiastic i have been in the study of Christ and His word. Thanks to him that I am now on my 2 feet reading up.
And the meeting with Mel and Zw on Fri night made me relieve some of the pain and agony that was in me. (ok...that was over exxagerating) The talk with them made me realise what a person i am. It's not what I should be. But since they are my close sisters, i really didnt bother about image. Thanks dears for listening and offering help. I think i should just do what i have been doing though it's quite unfair to the person. yc made me realise that i could be experiencing such a thing coz it's God's plan for me. It's His will that I should be here to help this person and correct his/her life if it's within my means and try to be friends with everyone if they are willing. I just hope i can...Tolerance and patience is what ZW and Mel have been describing. I pray...

~Rach~ Seeing you each day makes me a happy person! =D

It's been a week since i had the computer. (the computer at PR has just been sent to repair. It's going to be another week till i get the computer. haiz...)
Night life has been boring without the computer. No surfing the net nor blogging. Neither can i be updated abt my friends esp KXFZs.
But there is a plus point to it. I have been occupying myself with the unattractive looking pieces of homework on my table. Essays, MCQs, Maths qns, DRQs, notes etc... Unending tutorials to complete. However, the timetable has been quite ok. Not too much of a prob with it though. Still can tahan. Had the geog test on monday. And it was terrible. I should have studied. I only had a good study of the topics only the Sat before the test with Ah kong at Expo. Other than that, the facts didnt get in. It's going to be the same for Mon's econs test. I havent studied and don't think there would be time to. It's going to be another futile test for the teachers to vomit blood over.
"Miss Loh, you don't bother wasting your ink on my paper. just send it to the recycle bin..."

I am getting a bit feverish and body is aching. But i don't want to miss school! I enjoy being in school with my classmates! I have got new bitching and gossipping partners in school! Haha! =D
-----------
OH yah! The Chinese New Year mood is getting into me!! Went to Chinatown today to do some new year shopping. Buying all the goodies etc. The weather was freaking hot! But thank goodness it wasn't crowded! there was lots of space to walk around to look at the new year stuff! =)

~Rach~ I miss you...

Argh!!!
The computer at Pasir Ris has crashed/contracted virus (as said by Jtit). Oh manz!! I regret not saving my files into D drive! Darns..
-----------
1st week of school was ok. Not fantastic, but still managable. Lessons have been fun and quite relaxing coz 1/4 (6/24) of my classmates are OGLs. 1 is even the OHL of Vega. So, lessons were quite slowed down. I don't have much homework besides some maths and revising for tmr's geog test...
Oh yes! Congrats to Zehou for keeping Vega at the top!
Sargas brought the school down with its dance item for campfire. We took tables and benches and started dancing on them. It was like a rock party or clubbing in school! The enthusiasm was high!!
Alhena was fiery with their constant cheers and their wonderful performance as the opening item.
Castor came in 4th. But it is ok! As long as the freshies had a wonderful orientation! CASTOR STILL RAWKS!!
Regulus ended last. I understand how they felt. But in 3 mths time, who knows, they could be the rising star in the next orientatioN! =D
---------------
We (me, xr, jtit, joy, gerald, shiyun, ber, jeff) sent Ky off to army yest! It wasnt a very sad sending off. more like touching. but he is coming out on tues le! (coz its hari raya haji. Public hols.) Jia you to the guys who are going in to army kk!!
---------------
OK...going to study for the geog test tmr..haiz...long day tmr and i am ending it with PE. (sadness).

Wells, i just got to say that the first day of 2006 was spent very meaningfully! Went to church and met my new classmates--meekness. ok, not all are new. some of them have been classmates with me for all my life in JCOC and some a few years together. Abt 1/4 of them were new. they are very fun people!! After worship service, i went lunch with jie eliz, jie shan shan and shirley. went tracting after that. and stayed on to meet people from LAP as they came to attend the youth BBQ organized by JCOC. Don't quite remember many of them though. I helped with the BBQ after that. It went well though the weather wasnt too cooperative. It was a fruitful day today! Talked to people that i didn't think i would have spoke to. Anyways, i think i am going to have an enriching year with the church again! i just hope time permits... I have much to say abt the bbq. but i can't say it here...
If ya have the time, do visit this website. It has very good articles inside! =D

Just heard SHE's "bu xiang zhang da". I think it's a cool song! And it's really meaningful. I don't want to grow up!! I want to continue being a student where my life is planned out by teachers. I can't imagine myself working. I shall make full use of this last year being in a school before I go to U.
ok, it's time to do homework, if not i am going to get it from the teachers when i return to sch tmr...haiz...
KXFZs blog rawks! Thanks LC! I know you read it here...
and Thanks ZW and LC for the present! I would use it soon! CHINESE NEW YEAR you shall see the masterwork from me!! hehe! =D
Take cares everyone!
