What keeps me going....

Hi,night study officially starts tomorrow.Which means that i will be practically living in school,spending more than half of my days there.With everyday remedials after school,mass practices and with night study,i am fully packed.We are already into August and i see no progression in my school work.I am still the same-old lazy person that i always am that procrastinate more than a human being could.If procrastination was a sin,i'll be a permanent resident in hell.Honestly,if this is the life of an O level kid,i wouldnt want to retake it,ever.4 more months till freedom and 3 more months till living hell.You see,i'd prefer looking on the bright side and looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.I still cannot believe i'll be working for a piece of paper.

Life's a battlefield.

I would admit defeat if it werent for the fact that the future lies in my hand.The future lies in that certificate,a piece of paper that practically determines where my life goes from then on.I have to do this.I need to do this.I must do this.

The time has come.I have officially step down.The unofficial Secondary 4/5 ODAC Farewell held in school has made me realise that,that was it,it's already the end.Throughout all the 5 years being in ODAC,i have never imagined myself coming this far,making it through all the trainings and ending the season with the greatest fall i have ever experienced.To end it all,Ms Teo compiled a few articles she thought would further explain what she wanted to tell us.Seeing her teary eyed and saying her piece,it wasnt easy to hold back those tears....if she had gone any further than where she stop,without a shadow of a doubt would i cry.Anyway,thank you to the juniors for putting it all together and for those personalized cupcakes.

During CE,Mrs Khoo showed us the list of courses offered by the 5 different polytechnics and then I realise that I have to get started on choosing which course I want and which school I am going to attend.NYP,TP,SP,NP,RP.One thing for sure,I hate making decisions.So right now,I have 5 tab windows of the 5 different polytechnics,scanning through the courses offered and eliminating the polytechnics one by one.Like what Mrs Khoo said 'Let you choose the courses and not the courses choose you'.I have my mind on Nyp's Sports and Wellness Management,Rp's Outdoor and Adventure Learning and Np's Child Psychology.But,Im on a 'i think i want that course' mindset instead of 'confirm i want it' mindset.I need someone to help me,badly )': Urgh,life and decisions sucks.

Today,for the first time in my life,I took a cab home,alone.You know,I have always had this fear that the taxi driver would bring me to another place,deserted and kidnap me.For that,I blame it all on the tv shows that I've watch ie Crimewatch and Incredible Tales.I blew $8 on a cab ride,I could have used that money for food which is so much more worth it.Now you see why I hate cab?They eat your money.Mrt/bus for the win for lyfe.I never understood how people could take cabs more than 2 times in a day.

Anyway,we had math test today after school which was completely useless.I left out 3 questions which hold 35 marks (Y) I am a failure.It wasnt like a test afterall,after 20 minutes into the test,everyone started talking and well,we drifted away from math.Vanessa and I exchanged 'I so hate math' glances more than 10 times while others looked rather into the math test.Welcome to my life.Besides that,nothing interesting happened this week.Its been a boring-old week and I hate school.Come back to this site in 6 months time and you will see 'I miss school'.This is life.On another note,Im moving away from livejournal....soon enough.

Have a great weekend!

We are already into July and a week has past.On the 1st of July,I turned 17 Annecy and Claudia turned 16 and Chelsey turned 14.Its very cool to share the same birthday as 3 people who are all from the same CCA,well,except for one who dropped out.I have to admit though,that it feels weird to be wishing someone Happy Birthday(which is your birthday) when the clock strikes 12pm.Other than that,I sincerely thank everyone that spend 0.05cents to wish me Happy Birthday.Thank you for the makeshift cake which was 6 pieces of lopez and 4 ondeh-ondeh along with a Happy Birthday candle.Thank you for the lunch together.Thank you all very much.I might have not throw a big party to celebrate but,this little things makes my birthday better than parties.Afterall,we're all into making memories.

We didnt win neither did we lose.We might not have won the championship this year but we didnt lose the sportsmanship and ij spirit in us.We lost to a better team,a team that has all along wanted to snatch those championship away from us.They managed to take it away this year and they deserve it,they work a thousand times better than us and well,a sincere Congratulations from us to you.I would rather lose to a better team like them than to lose to a not-so-good team because that just proves that we are far more worst.I was more than sad,I was more than devastated,leaving Ij without the championship and even a medal but I have won the best team ever and that is more than the medals and championship trophy.Like I've said,others might beg to differ but I stand with what I think.

A sincere thank you to those who came down all the way to Marina Barrage just to support us.Thank you for your cheers,never-ending supports and believing in us.Constant reminders that everything would be alright and that despite the lost,we are still champions for not giving up and for giving our all.A sincere thank you to Ms Teo for being a caring teacher-in-charge through all these years.There might be days where we have our negative times but we do have many positive time together.A sincere thank you to my mum and dad for coming down to support me for the past four years to assure me that they had my back for everything.A sincere thank you to Esther and Fatin for always being there for me when I needed someone to rant to and for telling me that we're already winners and lastly,a sincere thank you to the team,both B and C division for not giving up,for giving our all despite knowing that there wasnt any chance for us.Thank you for making my last competition the best I could ever ask for.We are already winners for fighting till the end.To all the tans we got,blisters we had,sprains,blood sweat and tears,we made it through as a team.

Well,dinner with a few of the teammates was good.Running across the road to and fro to catch the MRT shuttle bus,standing in the middle of the road like we owned the road,screaming across to each other deciding where to go,sitting at the bus stop making one hell of a ruckus and chasing away the couple that was initially probably having a romantic time together,walking all the way to Popeyes from Cityhall,sitting outside near the waters eating Popeyes,taking pictures and what have you not.I had imagined the situation if we lost to be black but what I had imagined wasnt what I got.We got over it,no one wins forever and the better team won.A mega huge thank you to those who went for the dinner yesterday,for making it my last competition and a memorable one.I love you guys to the moon and back and around the earth x infinity.I mean it when I say so.We did Be Humble In Victory,Cheerful In Defeat.

CHIJ ODAC FOREVER MORE!

Team work: When a group of people work effectively together
Team spirit: Willingness to work as a part of a team

Today,is our final training for the year.For some,it is their final journey with the team.Without a shadow of a doubt,it has been a roller-coaster ride through the 5 years being in the team.There were days that I wished,I had choosen a CCA that was more laid-back.Only to realise that making that wish was stupid.I mean it when I say that without Odac,I wouldnt be half the person I am today.Odac has pushed me over my limit and has made me step out of my comfort zone.The camps we had,late-night talks,nail-painting sessions,kayaking expedition,rock-climbing,night-walks,training camps and the time we spend together laughing,talking pictures,sleeping under the stars and making every single camp a memorable one was an icing on the cake.All the gossips we shared in the middle of the night,the times we told ghost stories and ended up screaming all together.For all the times we went through training,the blood,sweat and tears we shed,I thank you.All the muscle-aches we earn at the end of training,all the shit we went through,all the scoldings we got and all the punishment which amounted to 300+ push ups,we went through it together as a team.There is more to what my memories have to offer but it would be never-ending...

To Pearlyn,Stella and Vanessa,its been 5 years since we both stuck by each other through everything that Odac has to offer.I dare say,without you guys,I would have given up and dropped out of Odac.For the times we bathed at Kallang then having lunch/dinner at Dhoby Ghaut,Cityhall along with the rest and the times we complained to each other how annoying training can get.The bus-rides we had,the laughters and smile we brought to each other.I cannot thank you guys enough for it.I will miss you guys terribly.Here's to an everlasting friendship and memories we've made.

To the team,this Friday,lets make it a great ending.Its been a rough journey since the beginning.We'll posses the spirit of sportsmanship and teamwork and keep it in us throughout the competition.Lets win with hardwork and lose without regret.While some might beg to differ,I stand with my say that Odac is greatest team.

Be humble in victory and cheerful in defeat.

I will enter the competition with not the hopes of winning,but with the hopes of earning myself a good time and enjoying every single minute of it with my team.For this will be the last year,I will ever get to row for Ij.If I lose,I want to lose without the feeling of regret.If I win,I want to win with the feeling of hardwork and teamwork that has paid off.Nothing beats motivation and teamwork in a team.

Hi,I have been too caught up with the thought of the upcoming competition that I lost track of time.Still thinking that it was the 2nd week of the June holidays,I was brought back to reality when a teammate of mine exclaimed that competition was next week.Despite counting down to the competition day,it didnt occur to me that 14 days(last counted) was actually only 2 weeks away.Dumbfounded,I found myself searching through my brain,relocating where I have placed all my holiday homework.I have to already get started on the homeworks.The amount of workload given is kraaazzzyyyy.I have no idea how I am going to finish all of them within this week and next week along with the before-competition nervous feeling.History repeats itself.I have to finish what I start fml.An additional on to that,my knee has been a bitch for the past few days @^$(&^$&(%$(&.

I am currently listening to Vanessa panting while attempting to dance to the Hoedown Throwdown.I love my friends!(L)(Y) hahaha!

Pop it, lock it, polka-dot-it
Countrify then Hip-Hop it
Put your arms in the sky, move side to side
Jump to the left, stick it glide

Zig-zag, cross the floor,shuffle in diagonal
When the drums hits, hands on your hips
One foot in, 180 twist
And then up,
Zig-zag, step, slide,lean in left, clap 3 times
Shake it out, head to toe
Throw it all together, that's how we role

1:02AM

Dancing with her......now.

Hi,I had a very good training today and I am very happy about it (Y)(Y)(Y).The feeling is indescribable.Despite knowing the outcome of the lunges,sit-ups,push-ups and rowing we did today,I am very satisfied with what my team and I achieved today.16 more days to competition and I am scared out of my wits.

Preparations for Ms Ng's farewell was chaotic.After lunch at Entertainment McDonalds with Ms Ng,Vanessa Pearlyn Debra Rachel Felicia and myself went to SKP to find balloons.We stood in SKP for a good 10 minutes coming up with a plan.So we came up with the idea of 'message in a bottle' but instead,message will be found in a balloon,and the message will then be transfered to the bottle.Was a very impromtu idea tyvm so thumbs up for that hahahha so we asked Mrs Khoo for 40 minutes to prepare for it and there was like 5-6 balloons that burst which probably interrupted 5/1's class hahaha (Y) then while waiting for Ms Ng,Vanessa Laava Sara and I had a mini-clubbing session hahahahaaha Vanessa cannot dance for nuts ok neither can I.Ms Ng had to pop 10+ balloons to find her message from each and everyone of us.It all went well and in the process of making Ms Ng cry,all of us cried too.We miss you already Ms Ng ):

Ms Ng,

I know that the possibility of you reading this would be 1/10 but I hope,this somehow gets to you.For 2 years,you have seen us grow up to be what we are today.You were like a mother,a sister,a friend and a teacher to us.All the time,I have seen you as someone that is just like one of us,just a little bit older.You degrade yourself to be just like us,in a good way.You never set the 'I am a teacher' boundaries with us,you allowed us to say things and use words that most teachers wouldnt allow.You have seen us through literally everything,ups and downs,good and bad,see us change,thinner or fatter,taller or shorter.You were just like a mother in school.Someone that all of us feel so comfortable with,to either talk to or confide in.You care for us and you show it.Its such a pity to see you walk through those gates and leaving IJ.We cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for us throughout the 2 years that you have been with us.We will miss you terribly horribly and miserably.We wish you good health and pray that God will constantly be next to you to guide you through.We love you Ms Ng,

With very much love,
Nissa
