Oops, haha I forgot to put the analysis haha- here it is ^_^
Virtues: You look for immense creativity and individuality in people, including yourself. You're not happy with anything less than brilliant, and you focus on being expressive. You value energy, liveliness, and upbeat personalities, but you're not supportive of moodiness when you yourself can be unreliably moody. Seeking activity, you like the bustle of business but need the secluded atmosphere of a studio or private corner.
Aspirations: You feel the need to express your talents, whether it be through writing, drawing, singing, dancing, composing, performing, or photographing. While you strive to ever improve your work, you want to display it as soon as possible when your impatience kicks in. You want to be a prodigy but you might not have the means right at your fingertips. Trust me, do NOT move to New York to do it. Yeesh!
Quirks: Conformists bother you because of their lack of individuality. You're often late or unreliable. You're showy and refuse to share the spotlight. You only tell little white lies. You worm your way into the hearts of others, but be careful; some people despise the show-offs.
Factors: Surround yourself with activity and you'll always have material to work with. Involve friends and family in your projects so they don't feel like envious outsiders.
Future: Show business or not, you'll settle down happily if you're among those who appreciate your natural talents and desire to perform. Don't stay in one place too long, and don't be too hasty in defining your relationships. Who are you to judge what only time will tell?
Aww man! Im a artist haha-

Sky high- (not the dumb movie)
Wow, today was the last day of orientation. So fun- and so super shiok :) The last and longest day of orientation because of the campfire ^_^ It was awesomely, awesome ok? Id have given up almost anything to re-live these four days again, no joke.
The day started off with more serious stuff about combinations and such, that really got my feelings at some record low until after that and lunch when we rejoined our groups, I just lost myself in the passion and life of orientation, silently, secretly, I love my OG to bits, even though they might be quiet like umm maybe Gerald (This time he IS pronounced like that Soccer player :D) but they release strength and support without you noticing it.
Im also glad for my OGLs, Ching Wa and Seng Peng/Kross, they are great people, giving up their time (remember it's their A level year) for us, for this OG and also for the rest of Thebes, there is no "I" in "team".
At the end of yesterday Thebes was second behind Corinth, our bitter rivals xD And so we were very motivated to push on in today's games and cheering- and we did! Thebes Gamma was OWNING! (a small Dota reference) out of 8 games over the course of the orientation we won 5, got draws in 2 and only lost ONE! Today was cool also because one of the games was, egg drop xD and having played this SO many times be it in camp or rangers or anywhere else need I say? Gamma's egg was whole and perfect, half the credit goes to our PL Tammy who suggested the parachute. This is the FIRST time a parachute really helped (it fell super slowly) And we were the ONLY group whose egg did not break that day- the combination of layering/cusioning with straws and a parachute kept the victory in the bag.
Corinth has this AWFULLY great cheer they use to no end it goes like this...
Girls/OGLs: Strawberry Shortcake!
Guys/OGLs: Blueberry Pie!
All: V I C T O R Y, victory victory is our cry!
(PS. If i ever become leader of any groups or such, im sure to use this, it rhymes great and sounds really impressive) What to do when our rivals have a killer cheer? We taunt them! Thebes came up with a cheer using the SAME tune :) a direct parody of theirs-
Banana Ice-cream!
Durian cake!
V I C T O R Y
Thebens Thebens Fight Fight Fight!
Haha, you should have seen the looks on their faces, it was like they got a smack in the jaw ^_^ Thebes has ATTITUDE ok? From "Thebes what? Whatever!" to "Seek Attention" we slowly beat Corinth down down and down. their rival Delphi, was no help at all to them and in the end Corinth turned on thier only ally right at the end but the attack never took off.
Anyway so we won our games (awesome) and back in the hall for mass dance but wait! I went to the toilet and when I returned I found the hall in PAirs?! They were going to do the college dance! My-gosh I love it! (kind of, also it is less messy then the mass dance) But sadly I was left paired with some guy in my group as we came back
"late". We finished learning the mass dance today, pretty hot stuff, but very fun.
After which was dinner, oh my gosh, the budget must be pretty bad but hey, I'm not really complaining, thanks for the green tea ^_^ After that out for the campfire! All the skits rocked and I especially liked Delphi's who did a dance to the song "That Thing You Do" and our own skit was more impressive then I expected it to be, the "Ugliest man" part was priceless xD "Good job Corinth!" Then it began to rain, into the hall we go!
A series of technical maladies plauged Iza (is that his name?) and he couldn't talk xD Haha, the mike hates him. To "drag" time, each group got a few pairs up on stage to do the- COLLEGE DANCE! And the floor pretty much joined it once it began, OGLs first then the groups, great fun, once again, with a guy (sigh) the atmosphere got so high you could FEEL it in the air. Then comes the announcements...
Needless to say from my tone- THEBES WON! THEBES WON! It was priceless. Because third was Delphi, 2nd Sparta and we were like "Huh?" Yesterday 1st was Corinth and us was 2nd so today the gap jump so much?? First was either us or Corinth, though we had confidence in our points, the newly revealed positions shook my faith a little but when the announcement came out, there was no silence from Thebes for almost a good 5 minutes, no kidding, cheer after cheer followed by whoops, cheers from other teams and replies. I almost vomited by pushing my aching sore throat hoarse so I missed out in one cheer but hey we won! WOOOO Highness like dont know what =D
Still high, eh, tomorrow have camp again? LoL Cant remember, everything seems to pale in comparison. Like I said above, Id give almost anything to live those 4 days again.

Escape-
Its a rainy day again. Tomorrow is the last day of orientation and along with that comes a slew of new problems. Like subject combinations. My phathetic subject combination at sec 4 wont allow me any courses in Jc. At first there seemed to be come hope to take lit again. Until the new "ministry regulations" shot that down to dust.
Now I'm stuck. Temporarily the school has "made" a combination for those like me who are "courseless", difference being, they failed the required subjects but I didnt even take those subjects so even during JAE, if they do better they can still go to Jc but for me. No such luck without the required subjects to be taken at O level standard. I might have to ulp-
Go to Poly!
What a horrifying thought. Ok not really- Ok it is. Ive just focused on going to JC all my life I didnt even give the thought of going to poly any thought, you can almost say my "life plan" just went down the drain. Say, wasn't there a sermon recently about NOT having life plans but letting God take control? Maybe this is say, God's way of telling me, "Hey! Your time is over, you've messed up enough, let me-"
I dont know

Lost in Emotion
Day two passed in a flash- less all round shyness and more fun and co-operation within the teams and OG. And one simple realisation, if we stick together, as a team that is and ignore ourselves but think more on a group level we can do ANYTHING. Games today were meant for us to get dirty but hey- if we get wet/dirty we all get wet/dirty together, and we win games xD
No more college dance, not that everyone is complaining (ahem- cough cough) and now for the next three days we are learning the mass dance, a confusing mix of steps and moves that got everyone huh? Asking the councillors we discovered they mastered it (mastered as in able to execute the whole thing accurately without reference in time with the music and all) in a week or two- wait a sec and we get three days?? =.=U But it is very funny to watch everyone try to dance haha- the guys (me included) are almost half hopeless.
The song used was "lose control" for the mass dance, now if you know that song, think it through and see how fast the pace is, then go "My gosh" and laugh. Now compared to "Lost in Emotion" for the college dance that was hyper fast- woosh. Did I mention the OGLs know it too haha, not helping.
Then moving on to more serious stuff, today was our first of our combination talks. Its so odd, because I filled in my PAE form haphazardly and I was accepted into the science stream even though I CAN'T be in that stream so when the whole OG (Thebes Gamma) was having their talk along with all the other groups who took science I was packed along with Thebes Alpha and a bundle of other pupils (about 50 odd or so) and herded into a Lecture Hall and in 30 mins we were given a brief explaination about the H2 and H1 thing along with the combinations offered. And here's the sobering part
I cant get into any of the combinations. Stunned? Yes- very. I cant take any combinations with H2 Art cos that needs O level art, nor Maths at H2 levels cos that requires a O level A math pass, and I dont take A math. The biggest blow fell when I also couldn't tke Lit as that needed a Combined Humanities score of B4 or better, that was the only condition I saw, and I got a A2 by the way BUT they also tacked on a required pass in O level lit and I dont take Lit no more! Because of being repeat thus I dont reall have my choice of courses- seriously, PoA and D&T are worth crap in JC la!
Now Im very sad, very very, but I'll try to take Lit because they said I can try to ask by presenting my English marks to show that I'm competent in language and if need be I'll show up my sec 3 Lit marks along with a letter from Miss Kodi if need be. I do hope I can take Lit, I've been looking forward to this SO MUCH! It's been my mini consolation since I have been unable to take Lit when I retook sec 3, that I can always pick it up again at Jc level, I do so hope it passes through, please pray for me!
Starting tomorrow and Friday we are going on to heavy stuff, actual deep assesments of the different subjects so we can make a wise choice come Monday (or was that Friday?) Anyway, orientation ends on Friday and it is 100% confirmed the OG will split up because of the Arts/Science thing (for me at least) *knocks head* Why was I so dumb to put Science =.= Sure we got a cool ass kicking OG but I have to leave them all behind, it only makes it so much more painful. I just hope I have proper classmates and can make great friends, and favour in the tutor's eyes of course-
There off my chest, even the weather mourned with me, it was raining on the way home and my umbrella is broken so I walked hom in the rain. Quite refreshing and cooling, then when you dont mind the raindrops and ignore the fact you are getting drenched, and look up to the sky, you feel so small, along with your little petty troubles and worries. God provides, always, I will trust Him. Like my nick I will remember, "above all, I live for Your glory".

Thebes (ɣ) Gamma
Heyas!! Whooo- first day of school, so fun :P Orientation is very very fun if you bother to participate and not be too shy. Alot of living stones haha, not in a good way as in like they dont cheer, dont run in games, dont shout bleagh- quite sad, then again, I've shouted myself hoarse.
We started out getting sorted into orientation groups (OG from now on) namely Athens, Corinth (where Corinthians was written if im not wrong, Delphi, Spartha and finally Thebes. I am a Thebeian (cant spell it haha!) and each OG has 6 smaller groups, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, elipson and zeta. Greeky stuff ^_^ Thebes is excellent in games ok?
I'm in Thebes Gamma for those who want to know- and oh oh! Each OG (big ones) has their own identity. Spartha has a wristband (a cloth with the words Spartha written on it) thats very clear, I think Delphi has a name tag thing of sorts with a picture I could never get a chance to see but Thebes is RICH ok? Look at what WE got ^_^
So nice right? They actually painted it, printed it and got it made into badges, solid :) and these are actually quality badges, like the kind your school gives out to those who finish like top 50 in the school cross country or something k? Anyway, we got our groups, Thebes Gamma has 19 people, not including 2 OGLs (leaders) and a OG tutor. She is a PE teacher, reminds me alot of Miss Ming but more friendly and yes quite flustered the whole day haha-
Our OGLs very crap la, those two guys. Dont tell us their name, told us to call them "Handsome" and "Not so Handsome" =.=U lame right? Nevermind, noticeboard have their names haha, but those names were cool when we played Whacko- one of the orentation/ice breaker games, good thing I know the game (It was double whacko la) and some people's names were really easy to remember, someone sabo me but I was quick and didnt have to run around (The cricle was so small a quick lunge and I could sit down again teehee) Im happy to have a name that is tough to pronounce, whacko so seng nang (relaxing) sit down and slack until my partner (behind me) told people to call out my name so he could play Haha!
Then we played treasue hunt, wa I tell you those councillors all bully thebes. Thebe's clues all hidden here and there, other teams easier to find. Then we learnt that in som previous event (Orientation camp or something) Thebes was the best group =.= So we got great leaders ^_^ so its harder for us =.= and guess what? The first three places went to Thebes Beta, Gamma and another Thebes group respectively ^_^ Wahaha.
Oh yesh- Thebes has an alliance with Spartha and Athens, leaving Corinth and Delphi to work things out, they have dubbed themselves since who knows when the Cor-phi (Coffee) we? Are just the Alliance :) Its great to be on the 0wning side.
Oh, must mention the college dance. Wa so crap la! They just lined everyone up into two rows (guys and girls) and there's your partner for the college dance =.= The steps are alright quite easy to follow once you get the hang of it- but I lost myself halfway, no matter, my partner was lost too xD At first we were not too keen but I told her to treat this as an "occupational hazard". Now, if only I could find the song they used for the dance... :D We also learnt the school song (ok la, not as corny as Peicai's and abit longer)
OH yes, the principal looks like she was carved of stone, trained to teach in a boot camp and taught to talk in a orc encampment. And her name sounds very funny too, she had a horrid habit of talking to herself INTO the microphone and losing her train of tought. Haha- nevermind, old people are like that xD Then we met the two vice principals, one for academic issues the other for other general issues. Can't remember their names =x
Oh, and everyone flashback 2 years back to sec 3E, remember this psycho PE teacher? Seems like he LEFT Peicai and JOINED SRJC =.= I hope I dont get him for my PE teacher... Ok ok I'm done for today, more fun tomorrow- it's GAMES day! ^_^ And we are going to get -WET- for sure. Sounds fun :P
