Slacking

Thursday, November 25, 2004

I have been watching tv programmes and movie after movie for the past few days.
I like "tian cai go go go" on channel u.
very nice - funny, 'intellectually stimulating'.
at least better than rotting on the couch, simply taking in everything that is being aired.
but personally, i think it is impossible to complete the final stage, no matter how much time you give me. haha ^o^

Feeling overwhelmed right now.

I was once addicted to neopets in lower secondary.
But I got over it at the end of Sec 2.
Probably because I got more practical.
I would rather do some other things - although watching TV is not a very constructive past-time too.
haha I have thus never come to realise why my sister is still addicted to it.She logs onto neopets, navigates her way around neopia quickly to collect all the "free gifts".I was really impressed with how she knew every single place in Neopia so well. I bet she has the map of Neopia in her brain already.She just clicks venue after venue, goes into one place in another.I was really confused after a while.

Neopets has really evolved into a more 'complex', 'sophisticated' domain in the 2 years i left my account cold. Even the games are more varied and interesting now.Had a whale of a time playing Petpet sitter and Maths Nightmare. haha.. very wu liao rite? nothing to do during holidays what.Don't feel like doing anything at all.
Just want to sit around, slack (as some may call it ;)But i prefer to treat it as a form of relaxation.But its really time to get real.
The holidays are going to end.
The good times are going, going.
I better wake up soon.

Road Safety CIP

Saturday, November 13, 2004

I learnt a lot of things today.
Most apparent of all, road safety.
I had never participated in such carnivals before.
Because my primary schoold never orgainsed it.
Probably it was only my year.

Anyway, I was a pedestrian.
Partly because my other team members wanted to ride the Go-kart and the bicycle. Partly because I could not cycle.
Confidently thought that i could breeze through the route. All you had to do was to follow the route, keep to the pathways, and don't jaywalk right? Yes, but I got 3 summons.
2 for not obeying the kerb drill.
In other words, i forgot to look left, right, then left again when crossing. the other was for forgetting to raise my hand when i crossed the road. I forgot?
Haha. Probably.
Moreover, wouldn't we look like a complete fool by raising my hand when crossing the road?

Even before the event started, the children were so enthusiastic about the whole thing. they bounced up and down, chased each other, and disturbed each other playfully. The synergy was infectious.

Their vibrance was a stark contrast to my jadedness.
Their eyes shine, they smile at every thing that happens.
Be they how small, how insignificant or how unimportant.

A small child is not aware of its innocence.
His or her innocent nature is completely unconscious.
But soon, the child's purity and innocence will begin to disappear. Impurity and ignorance will take their place.
The qualities of wonder and joy, imagination and faith that we see in a child are short-lived.
As long as a child remains a child, his innocence is there.
But a child changes.

Pw OP

Wednesday, November 03, 2004

Yeah!! OP is finally over!! i can finally heave a sigh of relief:) though I seriously messed up the question and answer session.

When Jiaxin's group were drilled with the questions from the judges, I knew that things were not looking good. Questions asked were really critical, though ours was not so bad. But still, I was totally stumped. it was probably just me. hesistated like nobody's buisness. but nevermind.

I was actually praying very hard that it will not rain today, especially during our presentation. Else, our voices would have to "compete" with the rain. The problem was probably more significant for me.. because i cannot project my voice for anything in the world. So much for Speech and Drama lessons...

But anyway, it started to rain just before we started presenting. luckily, the rain stopped as soon as it had started. Phew.. saved but it started again halfway through our Q n A session. got heavier as jiaqi was answering the questions and guess what, xunqi went to "rescue" his er-hu as it was placed near the windows and thus, was getting quite wet due to the rain pelting into the classroom. can really see how much he treasures his er-hu.

I am still very happy that Op is finally over! And life can go on as per normal. but there is still Bio O around the corner. Don't feel like studying for it... but looking at all the "pro" people, I guess i will have to study a bit, so that i will be able to do some questions .. and not feel like a complete fool when all the rest are busy shading the choices..

haha. class outing will most probably be on friday, after bio o... by right, i should go. but it is my sister's birthday. how??? in a dilemma once again but life's like that. i will see how things go on that day, before committing myself to anything.
