Alright, so being part of a new CCA isn't so hot. There are very few people and the "seniors"/"founders" are disorientated and very, very lost. Learning proper will only start next week, we spent the whole day playing "orientation" type games. Very horrid especially when there not everyone is "on". Urh- concentration =x
Push that aside
We've got our timetables along with our classes, Im in 06 1A02, and while in the science course the ratio of males to females per class generally range from 1:1 (abount 13 guys to like 11 girls or something along those lines) in arts the balance in way skewered! In 1A02 especially with 26 people (alot compared to other CGs) there are only 6 guys and 20 girls. *stunned silence* and a touch of what may count as racism for the sensitive. There are alot of indians/malays =.= I think it has something to do with literature... Overall this does not bode well... Im going to severely miss my OG! *sniff*
Im really enjoying classes. Really, even geography now :) I mean hey, how many of you even heard of the Aleutian Islands? Or know where the Ascention Islands are huh? (I was going to use the deep sea trenches but heck, they are all named after the areas they are near eg. who can guess where the Phillipines Trench is? See? Bleh) Oh and with some help Ive managed to spot Isreal on the map... I have renewed respect for that tiny country :)
Yes, the Os and the As do crazy things to some people. They begin to crack, they threathen to crack, they really crack and have a breakdown. It's not funny, the tension and pressure is so hot it makes you feel like you are burning up even in the heavy early year rains and chilling winds. The people around you seem threathening, everything is threathening, tutorial, TYS, thunderbolt, trash can (im on a limb here) same thing, scary stuff. Relax, breathe, dont forget to breathe, and dont blank out and forget your IC or centre number. Relax. Dont worry, we still love you, at least I know I do.
=1 what a cute smiley ^_^ Haha... (Z->)90-(E-N2W)90t=1 3-ZN!! Dont get it? Dont owrry, you shouldn't and yes now I do get it (finally) Haha, Im mental. loveing SR to bitts

Coming Through
Remember a week back or so? The major event was subject combination choosing. Yeps, and the results are out. - *deep breath* I GOT IT!! Thanks for everyone who have been praying and obviously, glory to God, who is big enough to make the impossible possible. And this was impossible.
Anyway, now the combination is like this. Econs, Lit and Geog for H2 and Math for H1. Alright, I'm grateful, I'm very grateful and satisfied, but- yes humans have unlimited wants, I know, Im crazy quoting subjects everywhere, but dont interrupt me, not yet shoo *smacks hand of interrupting invisible reader*- but after taking a few lectures ith hs become very obvious-
History is far more fun then Geography!! Probably because Ive taken geography but not history before and I ahve some great lack of prior knowledge about natural geography. I mean, deep sea shelves and deserts? That's really dry (no pun intended), now Id much rather learn about the cold war and how the US of A took potshots with the USSR throughout the 1900s. About the various wars and such, about Stalin and Truman, about the revolutions and evolutions (just to make it rhyme ok?) and such.
Pfft. Humans indeed do have unlimited wants, but we can't change combinations- so yes, guess I'll go dig up my old atlas buried somewhere in my room *blows dust off* and, take geography. Even though Histroy is more interesting, practical and impressive. Knowing political stuff is more impressive, imagine this, at a party they are having sophisticated talk and commenting on maybe, the recent Iraq War. Which sounds more relevant, the prior clash ie. the Gulf War or the terrain and climate of Iraq?? Or maybe my focus is screwed...
Oh yes, CCA kicks off tomorrow- Heehee, Music Society eh? Why did you ask? I have come up with answers haha!
1. Because I want to try something new
Just because Im a failure at music in primary school (not knowing how to work a recorder) and lower secondary (partially due to the recorder and the inability to read notes) does not mean Im doomed to shun it! I enjoy listening, so what stops me from making some? We all have to learn...
2.Because it is cool- to me
How often do you get to LEARN to play AND have a chance to compose something of your own? Sure, this is only first three months, and we won't get much work done, and in case we do? I might be stickiking around :)
3. And finally, Because it is a counduct for feelings
What? Cheem sia... Yes I already have my blog and I can write, but this is a different way of expression, plus inspiration strikes the wierdest chords, sometimes in ways words cannot express.
Oh and there is dance tomorrow to... dang =.= I haven't practiced and I have clean forgotten all my moves... this is very bad. Oh well. Dropping off here, I need to go prepare a few more sets of uniforms for the coming weeks. Bye!

Omnipotence
My title today has NOTHING to do withmy entry xD
Yesterday was a cool day. It was the only day this entire week it didn't rain! And I got home dry, shoes included. And it didn't hurt that the next day would be a saturday. But It did hurt that we got a geography reading assignment and some chinese thing that I can't remeber what to do with.
The "region gathering" was in fact the youth "Vision Friday" somewhat like vision sunday but on friday. Uh ok, that was wierd. Great job Reuben! You sure can lead worship well ^_^ Yes, it is never-wrecking bout you'll get used to it!
Yowza, subject combinations are supposed to be out by this week. Wednesday latest, because the temporary timetable ends there ^_^ *shiverS* The hiphop dance and chinese lessons are rubbing me the wrong way. The horror, the horror! (remembers sec 3 dance thing) Brrrr... it's cold in here...
I am stuck, forgot what I was about to blog about LoL so I end here.
Someone asked me, "You look lost, are you alright?" to which I replied "I'm fine". How can I be lost? To be lostwould be to have gone off the way you know and be stuck in a unfamiliar situation, however, I have never found my way to begin with so I dont qualify for -lost- ...

-I so Hate Consequences-
Jc life is good, it is fun, fast paced and slightly (for now, to increase soon) taxing. Lessons, or more accurately lectures have begun and I have by now in these two days plus the orientation, seen Lecture Theaters 1,3,4 and 5. Why not two? Rumors have it (and it is quite true by the amount of assurances I get it is irritating now) in LT 2 there is a grand piano, I so seek to see it, but I digress.
Ive taken quite a few lectures inclusive of GP (horrifying), Chinese (as per usual, hopeless), H1 Math (I know what he's saying at least) and finally for the fun of it, I slipped into a H1 Literature class. It was horrifying. To start off the session we all took a mini quiz to test how much we knew about literature. The results (which I will omit) are appalling. In light of recent events I realised I am woefully inadequate in terms of knowledge of literature's various famous figures and symbols.
Questions on Beowulf, Jane Eyre, William Blake, Adrinne Rich, Shakespearean sonnets (this one I remembered from sec3 thankfully), A Midsummer's Night Dream, Measure for Measure (if you are lost now, dont feel bad, I felt just the same. If you don't help me out will you?) and other various poems, poets, prose, authors and plays and whatnot fle wover my head. Even though I didnt do that badly... 3/6 on the "History of Literature" mcq, 3/5 on the open ended "Name the Author", and finally 2/4 on the "Name the works of Shakespeare" But, I dont feel that I have passed myself. I am disappointed, meaning Im going to delve deeply intop research. My knowledge is woefully inadequate.
How horrible. After all the things I wrote in that letter about being well equipped, all that confidence was drained flat in half an hour. At least the teachers are nice and not taunting like that GP byatch. This is no roadblock, not for now. Tomorrow will be the first H2 literature lecture, lets see if they try to run the same quiz again. It would prove fun, especially in light of English Week, oh yes it will. I'll note that down and look forward to it- btw (if, remember IF) if I make it into a combi with literature, I will automatically become part of the Drama Club. That brings us to our next topic...
Today was CCA open house day! I almost didnt go because *coughcough* thebegammaplannedtoponthewholetwohourthingandgoonanouting *cough* but we went for the open house anyway :) What did I sign up for? Umm this is going to sound VERY dumb.. I joined.... STUDENT COUNCIL! Just kidding =P Haha, but I almost did out of lack of things that interest me, in fact I may still consider. Having only 3 months there at best, why not try something I have never tried before? Step out into the spotlight and take lead. I am abit sick of following incompetence... But who am I to speak when I have never faced down the things they've faced? Once again, I digress...
Oh wait, I'm off point again. I joined Music Society. *deathly silence* *Inward screams* What were you thinking?! You can't do music... you you... wait, What is the Music Society? *ahem* The music society is for people to appreciate, compose and maybe paly a little music, and it is the keyboard *silences the oncoming flood of rants again* We'll see how this turns out, I wanted to try something Ive never tried. Ive shunned music as far as I could because I thought I sucked at it big time, maybe now things have changed. Maybe.
Ive got to drop off now, before I go, here's a song I have stuck in my head for some days :)
[I so Hate Consequences]
And I'm good, good, good to go
And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
And I'm good, good, good to go
And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences
Oh God, don’t make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don’t want to deal with that
It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn’t get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn’t turning out the way I want
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don’t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I’m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
And I spent all last night
Tearing down
Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might
Be no way to stop me now
I'll get away despite
The fact I’m so weighed down
All of my escapes have been exhausted
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can't go on like this much longer
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
I hate these consequences
Because I know that I let you down
Now I don't wanna deal with that
