Bored

Today was boring. Didnt do anything. I had planned on going for tennis but fell asleep at 2 and I woke up after training started which was about 6 plus so i didnt end up going. watched chelsea versus tottenham. What a match. 3-3 in the end. Suprisingly at the points when chelsea was loosing i wasnt upset or angry. I'm too happy for that. I still feel extremely bored. I cant find a good quality book anywhere. Argh. I feel screwed up inside for some reason... i havent a clue why. I've got the holidays to figure it out. I hope the holidays are nothing like today.

ECSTATIC

I AM SO DAMN HAPPY....I got accepted back into ACJC. Just when i had given up all hope. I really thank GOD. I really do. It came as a complete shock to me. I just had given up hope and had brought cash to buy my uniforms. Then Abraham messages me and says that he got into SA and i was devastated. Right after that message i got a call and thinking it was abraham i thought of rejecting the call but i decided against it and answered the call anyway. It was ACJC. I was really ecstatic. I jumped up in front of the whole assembly and just shouted my head off and ran out.

I went for orientation. I was mega on. We went to settlers for our OG outing. it was fun playing taboo especially with vijesh.. His accent rocks. Honestly. A good pure Indian Accent. then went for campfire and did the mass dance and did more mass dance. Had to run around the field shouting i love AC but i didnt do it properly and sherm wasnt there so i'll have to do it again. Its all in good fun. I'm supposed to have a party but i dont noe when i'll end up having it.

Watched Jaurasic park with my cuz today but i really wanna play tennis. Havent touched my racket in a month. Going to watch Disney on ice later.

Looking back at everything now, i really, honestly have to thank God. Its by his grace that i'm back at ACJC. I look back and i realise how much a week can change a person. I have turned over a new leaf and will work hard and i mean it. There will be no more slacking from me. I really also thank everyone who hoped and prayed for me getting back into AC. THANK YOU GUYS and more importantly THANK YOU GOD. I will work hard and do both ACS(BR) and ACJC proud.

I dont really have anything to say. I have given up hope of getting back to ACJC. It really hurts but i think i can cope. I wonder why but i dont blame God. He has his plan and to be honest i think i have become a better person in the process. It took some battering but i have become a better person. I will miss AC. I really will miss Eileen and Shermaine. They were there helping me at every fall, Shermaine for always saying the right thing at the right time to prevent me from doing something stupid and eileen for teaching me and making a better person. i will miss them and i want to thank them for being there for me. I thank all those people who were there for me, who prayed for me. I'm apologise to you but i cant take it anymore. i give up.

I have let too many people down. It is time i pay my dues. God give me strength.

Crazy

WTF.. Today was disasterous. I woke up and nearly had a heart attack. I know that sounds cliched but its true. I got posted to my last choice JC even when i could make it for all my other choices. Screwed up huh. Went to ACJC to appeal and then went back to barker to get the principal to appeal on my behalf. He didnt tell me whether he was going to do it. But he did give me a scolding and told me to write my achievements down. That took a while and it irritated him slightly but i guess its okay. He has power to send five boys into ACJC. Its like charlie and the chocolate factory. The 5 boys will receive a letter on gold paper and the paper is like the golden tickets into ACJC. BUT... if he doesnt decide to send anyone in, then we are all quite screwed. Really.

Went to meet the rest of the class at heeren after all my appealing. We ended up walking around. The girls shopping and the guys stonning. Shermaine and i bought kinder surprise. i got some kind a cart and sherm got a tree. The girls continued shopping. but as far as i can remember i dont recall any one of them buying anything. When everyone went home, Sherm and i tried to walk form Taka to Plaza Singapura in 50 mins. So we walked really slowly, took longer routes on purpose and we just talked about all sorts of random things while walking really really really slowly. We managed to get there in exactly 50 mins.

Mann i really will miss them. I pray for my appeal to be successful but whatever it is i'm trying to prepare myself for the largest culture shock i'll ever receive.

last day???

The fifth day of the third month of the year two thousand and seven. I'll remember this day till the day i die. Today, i completed ten years and 3 months of an ACS education. Everyone asks me: What is so great about acs. why do u love it so much. Is it just because of the name. I am sick and tired of hearing that question. Not many people can understand. But i'll you why. It is about the friend next to you that you have grown up with since you were 7. The friend who knows your first crush, who knows your most embarrassing moments, the friends that u laughed and cried with. Its about the song that you sang in your happiest and saddest moments in your life. The bible verses that you build your life around. The meaning of the best is yet to be. The weekly chapel and the colours red, blue and gold that u become synonymous with. And that is what it means to be an acsian. Not many people can understand and neither do i expect them to do so.

I shouldnt be giving up hope yet, appeals start tmr. If i give up now, Eileen will kill me for not being positive. So we'll see how it goes by the end of next tuesday. Wish me luck. All in all, today was fun. In econs, i adopted a pet rock. Its name is STONE but Shermaine made it into a girl by drawing a skirt on it. During GP, shermaine and I sneaked out to buy lollipops to eat in class. I forgot how good lollipops taste and during mother tongue( which i dont take anymore) Eileen taught me how to make paper cranes. I have to say i sucked real bad at first but i eventually got better. Then after chem prac when everyone was saying their farewells i started crying. It was really embarrassing when i think about it now. Well even guys can cry right. so yeah.... The girls took more photos and then isabel, jocelyn and myself went for our OGA meeting. They made us shout our lungs out by cheering ac cheers. It was retarded but kinda fun. A real emotional roller coaster ride today. Seriously.

what a fun way to end my probable last day.

And i leave with the verse that means alot to me : Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight
Proverbs 3:5-6

Photos

Today could be my second last day as an acsian. However lets not think abt it. My class went bonkers today. We took millions of photographs and personally it was more like a final farewell. However i shldnt give up hope. I read this article today in national geographic. This man, borge ousland from denmark walked a staggering 1240 miles across the artic from canada to russia and the most amazing thing was that He did it ALONE. On day 12 of his journey, his sledge carrying his supplies got damaged. But he didnt give up. he continued in the freezing temperatures of -42 degrees fahrenhiet. On day 42, he injured his ankle but yet he continued and after 82 days he completed his journey. His story taught me a very important lesson. he taught me to never give up even when it all seems hopeless, he taught me, TO NEVER GIVE UP.

Here are some photos we took( double click on the photo to enlarge): My whole class All the guys in my class. Yes there is only 6 of us.

If i have to go i'll really miss u guys. It brings tears to my eyes thinking abt leaving . Eileen says i have to be positve so in that case i'm staying...

Founders day/class outing

Founders day was boring it was exactly the same as the 11 previous founders days i attended but acjc gave out too many awards that dragged the ceremony. I didnt cry but there were tears forming while singing the acs anthem at the end. The class outing was fun. we went to crystal jade at holland v. i ordered a plate of fried rice. When the order came, i nearly died. It was like 3 plates of ordinary chicken rice into one. i actually managed to finish it and after that i had to help eileen and bryan with their dumplings. Then we all went to rachaels house. While like the rest of the class played poison ball or smthing like that, i taught eileen how to play pool. she picked up quite fast for a beginner. Then we played a mixture of basket ball/captains ball. my team lost so we had to do a forfeit. we had to hop like bunnies around the basket ball court. i decided against playing again so i went to join gay buddies to play more pool. we played like 2 games and went to k.a.p for dinner along with shermaine. The place was like invested with students form HCI. I mean what ever happened to the days where KAP was full of the ac barker guys and mgs girls. well i didnt get into any fights so i guess it was okay.

Not really having fun at home. my mum is pissed at me for some reason. come to think of it she is almost always pissed at me. So yeah. Today could be my first and last time wearing the acjc uniform. GOD give me strength. help me get back into acjc.

Me being mega stonned and mega tired after founders day and after wondering round in the rain. ( cant remember who took this photo but its somewhere in the canteen)
