acs(i) or acjc

On Saturday night my dad opened his mail. In there he found my acceptance letter to ACS(I). I was stunned, happy and some what upset. I really didnt think that i would make it to ACS(I). This considering that i thought i screwed up my interview. I really dont know what i should do. I applied to ACS(I) half-heartedly thinking that i wouldnt get in. But in some sick twisted way i got accepted. Both my heart and my brain tell me to go ACS(I) and at the same time both my heart and my brain tell me to stay at ACJC. When i weigh my options to go to acs(i), my heart says thats where my friends are and i'll have a lot of fun but my brain says i already started on PW and i have alot to catch up on if i go IB and when i weigh my options for staying at acjc my heart says ACJC is the place i love and my brain says it will be easier for me with the IB curriculum. I really cant make up my mine. Most of my secondary school friends want me to stay in acjc but none of them convincingly so but some say acs(i) is actually better and since i have the opportunity its best to just take it. I think i'll list my pathetic reasons for staying and leaving and see which is better.

Staying
-My close friends
-My commitments
-My dream of finishing an ac education the conventional way
Leaving
- My Class
-More Friends in IB
- No more RV( not that i have anything against them)
- The facilities in IB

The fact that my class isnt bonding at all and that it is becoming increasingly distant is haunting me. I didnt noe how much ones class affects your performance until i got this pathetic class. Class outings never seem to happen. The fact that i had to cancel another class outing while blogging strengthens my case for going to IB even more. My parents are fine with which ever school i go to. My dad clearly prefers acjc cause thats where i'll be taking physics but he says the choice is completely mine. I called IB up, i went for the tests and i went for the interview all without my parents help and for them this is a journey i have to complete myself. I pray that in the next few days GOD sends me something that would clearly influence my decision to go to one of the two schools and hopefully maybe it's my class lighting up. Cause it is really at a point where nothing more can be done. Even the 6 of us who try and hold it up have broken apart. I think maybe its time to let go. Maybe its time to say goodbye to dreams and say goodbye to acjc and hello to a new begining.

pre-u sem

Finally back from pre-u sem. i'm so happy to be back home. back home to a room that doesnt smell like someone has died in it. Pre-u sem was really boring. I didnt feel like i bonded with my seminar group at all. I didnt take part in any cheers with my seminar group. i only bonded with few individuals not the group as a whole. Well i'm just glad to be home. Perhaps maybe i'll miss the late night truth or dare sessions, the card games or maybe i'll just miss the people who participated in these activities. I think the thing that i'll miss most is the late ACS cheering sessions with ACS(I). I really connected with my acs(i) counterparts, maybe considering that many of them were my primary school friends. I spent more tme with them then with acjc or my group. The most fun i had was probably when kenneth from ACIB and I went to take photos with every other school. We interfered in the group photos off almost every school including our 'friends' from raffles. It was suprising that they didnt mind us in their group photo. Imagine their year-end magazine with 2 acsians in their group photo and that goes for every school we took photos with. We took millions of random photos including kid-napping a girl from raffles to take a photo with. When i get the photos we took i'll post them up. Formula 1 qualifying just finished a mclaren one-two on the starting grid. it was very satisfying to watch kimi crash out. Really happy to be home.

A conversation i had a pre-u sem:
Raffles girl: The best is yet to be huh
Me: yeah
Raffles girl: The best are here. The best of the english speaking elites. Who needs Hwa Chong
Me: You could say that
Raffles girl: Well even the eilites have eilites among them
me: true
Raffles girl: Well then the best isnt to be. The best is here. The best is Raffles.
Me. Well in that case you can keep on hoping because that age will never come.

note: The best is yet to be (ACS motto)
Auspicium Melioris Aevi( hope for a better age)( Raffles motto)

-

went out today. what a way to end the term it was fun. Soon pre-u sem will start and my life will go all messy. I guess i'm starting to drift away from my class again. i realise maybe i dont belong in Acjc. It isnt the place my seniors made it out to be. I miss my friends. i miss fun. I constantly feel like i dont belong. the constant question of what am i doing here. Cant wait for the hols cant wait to rest my knees and my legs. Hockey training and organising them with nick will be troublesome. Its only a year and a half more till i graduate. I begin the countdown. Next year we'll try and win nationals. with mental training i think our team will be able to do it. I am so fatigued. i need a break. maybe if my parents go to europe i'll have a party at my house. haha.. that'll be fun. i hope i fullill my parents hopes and expectations in the future. Dont want to let them down.I will start soon. Give me 2 weeks recovery and i'll prove all the clowns that ac boys can mount a challenge to the rv muggers.

today

today was fun!!!... i have a new name - Dino. i dont noe how it came about but apparently when i compete my eyes are bloodshot and then i dunno who said i am like some lean mean machine ( honestly i doubt that) and then adarsh was like yeah la like dino and then the name stuck. Physics was awesome- i had to stand up cause i didnt my homework and then again when do i ever do homework right. but i think she is softening towards me. She didnt send me dc for once. yay!! then i went to sleep in the void deck during break ( no i didnt pon lesson. ppl shld stop asking me that we u guys see me- i dont pon everything). Had an awesome dream it was wicked sick but then shaun woke me up-argh. Went for some pre-u sem thing. it was so suck up to the government and their policies but honestly the masses and the status quo are set against one or 2 of the policies especially regarding foreign talent. Then again the lack of an opposition does not give us much of an option to do anything and then again the PAP is still and will still be the most effective party. Today was good its just that i'm involved in three different scandals so that makes school all the more "fun". Argh i cant fit into my cream pants i need to go do something abt it. one more day.. tra la la

i will be happier

today i did chem spa and chem test and screwed both up. chelsea lost. My bad luck continues. I have the damn flu in full force. i want to go to school tmr but suddenly i have fever now. this really sucks. I am going to support milan for the rest of the UCL but considering my luck i ought to support Manu. It seems really hard to get ppl to watch a movie. I'm really sorry dudes i cant go on sat cause i got class outing. the class outing better be good cause i'm giving up watching spiderman for it and that leaves me with the predicament of not being able to find anyone to go with cause everyones busy. I had to turn down 2 grps of ppl for sat nite. sigh. the outing better be smthing good. Sorry lex and sorry abraham. I really feel bad turning u guys down but a worse choice would be choosing btwn u guys. anyways maybe the match of AC against Saints. I will be HAPPIER. thats what i'm going to be a HAPPIER person.. tra la la.
