Somehow, I think JC life isn't as good as people portray it to be.

Well, I might be cynical but all these needs a little getting-used-to.

The culture in Crescent is very so different from JJ, and you can't do the things you used to do in Crescent at JJ. Maybe it's the presence of the male species, but then, in a JC, I can't help but feel a little uneasy.

For one thing, I really do not appreciate the disgusting attitudes of some guys, their carping remarks, their unworthy jokes and their nonchalance about things. Even communication is hard with girls. When I say, "I need to pee,", my classmates look at me and give me that can-you-not-say-that look. And when I say, "I feel like shiting,", they give me the irked off look.

I can't help but I can't shake this off. It's been in me for four long years it's tremendously hard to kick that habit. I say what I want to say directly when the issue's an unsensitive one. I don't get what's wrong with declaring your urgent need for the restroom.

Being in a girl's school for four years has made me open up and a little crazier. You know, just a little more on the wild side. I'm really loud, I can't be tame, and sometimes I feel that some girls are really really really irksome. Let's just say that it's hard to imagine that girls can be like that. As for what like that means, you go figure it out yourself.

How I wish there is ONE JC (who cares if the standard's good or bad) in Singapore that is non co-ed. I think most of us Crescentians would flock there. FLOCK. I'd be the first. I love the environment in Crescent. If I had been in a mixed school, I don't think that I'd be what I am like today. And gosh, I certainly hope that no one in my class in the future or ANYONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY is a twit. I really really do not wish to make twit-ish friends.

I cannot stand girls who yak non-stop about the opposite sex, I cannot stand girls who just HAVE to walk into a make-up shop when they see one, I cannot stand girls who express EXTREME vanity, I cannot stand girls who are... well... ah lian-ish, twit-ish and... bimbos - they depend. The kind of girl like ... SELINA. Gosh I cannot stand her. That is why Hebe is always the more well-liked one amongst girls.

Anyway to divert a little I went to watch 霍元甲。I don't get what's the problem with the movie production team, but Jay's song never once came out or was heard during the movie. NEVER. What's the point of a theme song that isn't played during the entire movie at all? The show was gory, and I think it was the first time I watched a chinese action flick in a cinema. Everything was so odd. And the entire theatre was so huge we were stupid enough to take seats 2 rows from the back. We went to sit in front.

Jet Li has aged. And I like that Japanese guy called Tanaka. He's got character. Unlike the stupid idiot who cares only about making money. But the show was very bloody and very gory. And the anti-climax. HE DIED! Oh fine he was a real person but the way he died was so AHHHH! Makes your blood boil and at the unscrupulous underhand means people can think of just to make their pockets heavier. But too bad, you bespectacled idiot, your money's GONE!

Oh it was rather scary yesterday cause the entire of LIDO was filled with ACS people. No idea if they're from I or B. But is there any difference in their uniforms? And ACJC's too?!

Oh YES. Went back to Crescent yesterday and all I can say is the CNY celebrations at JJ aren't very interesting. Crescent had a wee bit more vareity, but still not enough to keep me captivated. HAH. It was very fun when about 10 over of us Crescentians in JJ took the train to Redhill. We dominated one cabin chain and we started taking pictures in the midst of the chatter and people-shuffling in the train. We were making quite a lot of noise but HAH. Who cares. And CK was blasting PUMP IT and That's Where You Find Love on her phone. We were doing JJ cheers while walking and got some uninvited muddled expressions.

Seriously, I don't mind being a Sec 4 again, being in Crescent again, being comfortable with everyone again. That's a feeling I'm going to miss!

And Eunice, if you're reading this, all the best for your 3 minute talk alright? YOU CAN DO IT! :D

Wow it's a miracle that whilst typing, I can shift from utter pessimism to a little optimism. (:

I'm feeling rather bitter. But then again, who would care how I feel?

I don't get why everyone knows but me. Yesterday, during the outing, then today again, for the phototaking. Don't tell me it rhymes I'd give you a smack in the face.

Dejection is a horrible feeling, and I bet there're some blessed souls out there who never ever felt this way.

For me, I feel it often enough, but I'm still NOT immune to it. Why? I wonder so too.

Can't help it if I was stoning throughout the eating session. I do not like to engage in conversations which are utterly pointless. The worse thing is that the people who are doing the talking do not give a damn about your existence. I seriously ABHOR that feeling.

Too many people take others for granted. How I wish a resounding smack will deliver them some understanding, and enable their closed eyes to be a wee bit more alert. A wee bit is enough to give them the 100% stereoscopic vision. Ch.

Oh how I love projects, and this time I'm made leader. I'd just accept it.

ANYWAY. The point is, they're linking movies to geography and I think this is a rather cool concept. Was in the library with Germ and Shu Li today and you know what?

They do not allow J1s to borrow books. WHY OH WHY.

I want my Jeffrey Archer and John Grisham!

They have all the books Crescent do not have, and I'd have to say that the library back at Crescent is rather deprived of novels :D

Gosh and what's wrong with Germ. Everyone is cute to her. Eh no, every guy is cute to her. She totally cracked Shu Li and me up just now. Germaine, germaine...

And I have decided I like Edward Lear! His poem is so cute and hilarious. I like his word: RUNCIBLE! So cute right! I can't do the 'rrrr' sound. ARGH.

The 1/2 hour break today before Chinese was funny. There was a periodical infatuation with PUMP IT! Hah.

I'm constipated! Gah. I hate being constipated. I think this only happened when I shifted to this partially new house.

Anyway I went to the doctor on Monday and I think he remembered me because I was complaining about not wanting huge and bitter tablets and I was saying that it was very ticklish when he was trying to find out what the problem was with my right leg.

Today when I went again I opened the door, said hi, and went, "Do you remember me?"

Then the went, "Yes. Is it about your knee again?"

I went, "No, it's about my head."

"Oh no," was his reply.

HA I was amused. Actually my main aim of going to the doctor's was to BUY an MC. A teacher actually called me up and told me in a rather strict tone that I had to get an MC. I mean back then in Crescent no teacher actually bothered about that. I'd gone by three days not in school and never a single call. I think this is a little too stringent.

Seriously, I don't think people actually bother to note my absence. Never mind.

I never feel comfortable when people message me and after a line they go ... then the next ... it makes me feel a littled neglected and that whoever it is doesn't really want to continue with the message. It brings forth reluctance and it makes me dread reading whatever comes after the ...(s).

Gah I do not want next week. I doubt we can, as OG One, walk around together, sit together during lectures, and spend our leisure time rotting away together in the cafe. NO!

Although we might not know each other very well, I'm still glad we're an OG. Some people say that it's quite amazing that we're still so close as an OG. Gah, that's of course. WE'RE OG ONE!

Anyway lectures were much of a bore. I didn't really enjoy Literature and I don't get why he doesn't want to talk more about the texts that we'd be covering. He covered speaking proper english where every word which has more than one syllable has a STRESS. When he was talking about dipthongs and vowels and consonants I was trying very hard to keep awake. It's hard to. Econs lecture was rather boring, Geography was really no much better. And H2 Maths is such a CHORE. Why, he had spent 2 lessons teaching us how to use the graphic calculator when we don't have it! I want the Silver Edition but it's so expensive. Rah.

JC life is so lax it's a little hard to believe. No stringent rules about the colour of your shoes and socks, hair accesories and etc. You can walk around the school compound with your MP3 blasting in your ears, eyes glued to the screen of your handphone other than in lectures and tutorials. Great stark contrast.

But anyway, I still love my OG mates. Why can't we be a class? We'd be the most united class HAHA :D

Kudos to:
Melissa, Shu Mei, Su Yang, Shatricia, Tai Khoon, Debora, Vivien, Tze Ting, Rouisanna, Pin Chian, Kee Pin, Poh Ling, K, Rachell, Fei Qian, Marcus, Clement, Kenneth, Gui Yi, Zi Long, Jun Da, Jun Ting :D

And of course our 4 very amiable and lovely OGLs : Aini, Khai, Nisha, Umar.

GAHHHHHHHH.

Went back to Crescent today and the most shocking thing was Janessa's hair. She's crazy. Jan, you're crazy. Your hair's so... exotic. Yes. And Joanne and all her talks about MI HAHA. And people don't really recognise the JJ logo! Gah.

And this teacher was telling some class that no matter what, they should never go to JJ. What exactly is her problem.

Pump It's in my head!

Never mind, I'm going to talk about the first day of lectures. The thing is, I only had one! And I didn't bother to crash into other lectures since there's no point in doing so. But Literature is freaking me out. I think I need to go read Great Expectations by Dickens. GOSH H2 Lit is so taxing. 5 texts if that was what was the gist of the entire lecture.

He's a rather hyper-active lecturer who told us half his life-story minus the intricate details. And what's with his obsession with tea? He runs up and down and stands right beside you. Gosh. And the Econs notes look FOREIGN to me. It's a mixture of Science and English and Geography? Pardon my lousy inferential skills.

Anyway only had lecture at 9.30 so at the beginning of the day 5 of us sat together and talked and rotted and sang. HOHO. After the literature lecture (or if you could actually call it a lecture), we went to the canteen. They have better food than Crescent! But the Crescent canteen's bigger and nicer (: After that walked around and rotted some more and then went to the cafe upstairs. Nisha joined us and we laughed. Yes end of story. Interesting? I left out the interesting parts which were rather... forget it.

YES I'm going back to Crescent on Friday!

CRESCENT!!!

Everyone asks me why I chose JJ even though I could go to other schools.

WELL, it's nearby, there's no way I'm travelling to Potong Pasir, there's no way you could ever drag me to ACJC and make me stay there, and well, it's less stressful! There! 4 wonderful reasons (: Don't I just make complete sense?

ANYWAY, I didn't want camp. Like who wanted it anyway. I wanted to go back for ORIENTATION CAMPFIRE and I couldn't! Rah. But still, JJ Night (don't spell it as 'Nite' if you don't want you head to roll) was good. I was high and euphoric like anything.

Although I didn't really enjoy taking half-baths in school and sleeping in the freezing classrooms, I enjoyed the company of my OG mates. There's no point writing their names here cause they'd sound foreign. Still, OG 1 had great great great OGLs. Umar, Nisha, Khai & Aini. Sweet people they are (:

The meals were passable, but I can't comprehend the school's love for alien drinks like Soya Bean and Grass Power. The second day of camp wasn't very fun for me because well, she had to pop in to visit me. Therefore, I was unable to play World Of Combat. But I got to know another OGL from Family 2 who's darn sweet (:

BOY was I happy when we could go home. HOME SWEET HOME. As much as I like JJ, I still prefer staying at home hur. Oh yes! OG 1 went on stage to perform on JJ Night. That's like the highlight of the camp or something.

Zhi Long made a great witch and Clement and Jun Ting were very retarded brothers but nonetheless they were super comical. And the remaining of us? The sound-effect team. HAHA. I like my OG! I don't think it'd be easy trying to get to know everyone in class after this. GOSH 我不要! Rah Raseena and Amira are in the same class. RAHHH!

Some people are going to crash PJ campfire though I think JJ Night's more worth the crash though it's over. But the 25th Student's Council is so darn sweet. The booklet holds a lot a lot of beautiful memories of Orientation.

If you hadn't enjoyed your Orientation, you know where to go after the first three months! HAH.

Gosh. I really miss Crescent all of a sudden. The first day of school would normally be really enjoyable and I'd feel at home. However, how totally NOT SO today.

It's weird. I miss my classmates. New friends are not that easy to make. Rahh. And the camp? The camp? THE CAMP? I won't be able to go to the orientation campfire!!! WHAT IS THIS?!

Right breathe. Other than not feeling at home, I thought the marriage game was ridiculously dumb. But the dance was good :D

Right I'm school-sick. CRESCENT!

Before I talk about the movie, I'd like to talk about Malacca. It's no big thing really since I'm the only one reading what I'm typing. But oh,

HOW I DETEST THE TOILETS IN MALAYSIA.

Maybe it's only Malacca but I'm not that sure about that. Why do they NOT have toilet bowls? I cannot get used to squatting toilets anymore. And there are flies inside the cubicle itself plastered to the walls as though it's their first love. Detesting.

Any oh how, went to watch Narnia at Cathay Orchard. Although I got pretty drenched and stuck by the torrential downpour, I was still glad I watched the movie. First movie on the first day of the year. Good start? Maybe. The thing is that the movie is well-paced, intriguing, and well, captivating.

AND I wonder why JJ hasn't called me when others have received calls from their OG group leaders. Am I not enlisted there?!

I love the lion and its majesty, though not the real ones in the zoos. Oh yes, and there's going to be The Davinci Code in the theatres mid-year. Not very good news to me though. I just wonder what other controversy will stir. They should make a movie of Postcards From Wits End instead. :(
