It is February!
It just felt like yesterday that 2012 has started.
And February means...

...that them bloody exams are coming!

You know, I have been rather blessed for my one and a half years in NYP to only have one set of Common Tests and then just hardcore studying for the exams.
Apparently, this semester isn't that much of a blessing.
Besides the constant troubles of le CCA and other stuff, and the already first round of Common Tests, I have another round Common Tests.
A very first.
I got bloody five of them.
And they are ALL next week.
And I have not started studying.
Oh wait, I haven't even bought the lecture notes yet!
HA!

Am I just awesome?!

I've always wondered what it'll be like to study something that I like/love/am totally fine racking my brains about.
It's physically tiring and mind draining forcing yourself to study something that feels of no importance to you at all.
Theoretically.
The joy of attaining knowledge is sucked dry by the fact of unhappiness.

So God bless my soul for my five tests and my exams right after that.

February is gonna be hot as hell I can tell you that.
I just can't wait for March to ring on in.

It is kinda daunting to know that in just a month, I would have completed two years in NYP.
TWO YEARS.
Now how did all that time pass by?

Being in NYP has been a joy.
Yes it has been a hell of a roller coaster ride too.
The friends I have made. the things I have done, can never be replaced.
But boy oh boy did two years pass by fast.
But then again, I've always wondered what it would be like to not have two jobs and a CCA.
I've always wanted to know how it feels to really be just a FULL TIME STUDENT.
Like no commitments to your CCA, just deal with school work and no other worries.
Or being in school when all your classmates go home!

Even though, I wish things would have changed, I wouldn't go back and change a damn thing.
Cause the shit I learned and gone through, would stay with me forever.
ACTUALLY...I do wish I had left when the time was right.
HAHAHA.

But heh, what the hell yeah?

Life goes on and you just make the best of it yeah?

I love my classmates.
The pass two years wouldn't be the same without them!
Like today, we had a bloody three hour programming make up.
I fucking hate programming by the way.
I would rather castrate a raging bull while in the air.
And the best we could do, was take these awesome pictures!









So wish me all the love you got people!
Cause I need it for this month!

And then I'm outta here!!

And for you.
I don't care.
You are everything you claim you not.
So this is for you.

Enjoy the artistic works of my half cousin...
NAH.. I KID.

BUT ENJOY!



Love ya'll!

Yes.
Life has been hectic.
October has been one hell of a month.
And I would say, the worst of this year so far.

So much has happened.
So much good, and so much sad and bad.

Well, first, school really has been a bitch.
This semester actually isn't that very bad though.
It just boils down to the fact that I still have programming to do.
Everyone in the milky way knows Gaijin and programming just do not mix.
But then, everyone also knows, I will pull through in the end.

Everyday is just a robotic routine of going through the routines...
And panicking when common tests and assignments and projects comes in.
But then again, isn't that what school is all about?

Anyway, let me start with the saddest of all shit that happened since my last post.

Joobs passed away...



It was so sudden.
I remember that day perfectly.
It was one of them mornings where I woke up pretty early naturally.
It was 6ish?
I gave him his favourite...celery.
Added in a few carrots, and refreshed the goodie pile.
Played with him for awhile, then put him back.
Added more bathing sand and was off to school!

He was happy, and being the usual crazy little hamster, forever on the wheel.

I came home, and I thought he will be at the wheel or just sleeping.
And I  couldn't find him!
Until I saw his still body on the hay.
DAMN.

I honestly have no idea why or how he died.
I just sat there for an hour thinking what I could have done wrong.
And upto now, I still couldn't think of any.
I have no idea.

So after a burial, I just left his cage there.
For days, I couldn't bring myself to clean it.

Until like a week, I finally got around to it.
My father was damn cute.
He asked if I needed help to assemble it back together.
Even now, his empty cage just sits there.

And I still long to have his rattles on the wheel in the middle of the night.



I don't want another hamster.
I don't want to go through another loss.

I don't know. Is my hectic life affecting my pets?

I can't afford to upkeep my fish tanks now too.
Cutting down to just two tanks.

Maybe I'll just start having that little herb garden that I always wanted to have.

Sigh. 
I wish I had more time, more money, and more love to share.
I WISH.

Well, that's the pinnacle of my sadness so far.
There are tons more of shit, but nah, it's not worth mentioning.
Besides, aren't sad shit supposed to be forgotten as soon as possible?

On a lighter note, I finally got around to getting something done that I've always wanted to do.
I usually need a kick to just go with my sudden impulsion and guts.
And with Miss Dorothy Tang!
So finally, Gaijin did it.
:D





Well another thing at school that has been taking up majority of my time, is dance.
Yes, in light of the upcoming musical, dancing has been somewhat of a lifeline these few weeks.
I got ballroom and stage arts side by side.
Boy am I excited!
I am still.
But my body is kinda dead?
Yeah quite dead,



The long hours of stressful school coupled by long straining hours of dancing and not much sleep has cause a ripple of effects on me.
I got the sick.

It kinda got bad.........
I actually went to get an MC.. and wasted money on my own accord on Monday.
So yeah, that's how bad it actually got.
But oh well, this weekend was a good one for me.
Power napped on both Saturday and Sunday and I kinda feel recharged for the week ahead.

It's awesome dancing latin now I would say.
For rhumba, me partner is le beautiful Miss Alicia!



It has awesome dancing with her!
I am so ecstatic to be having the opportunity to improve with her.
Haha.
She is the longest person by far, that I've been dancing with.
Awesome.
I needed that kick!
HAHAHA.




And yeah hip hop for stage arts has been awesome too.
A struggle at first, but totally getting the hang of it now.

Wanna know what's my schedule like for dance?

Monday : Ballroom.
Tuesday: Stage Arts
Weds: Both.
Thursday: Stage Arts
Sat: Both.

God bless me.

Well, I did end my hectic week days with an awesome get together with the fellow PolyForum peeps.
I will always love this bunch of people.
It's always just pure laughter and happiness whenever we meet.
And I am so lucky to have some in NYP.

We had a scrumptious dinner.





And as usual, retarded cam-whoring.








And for last night, my family actually agreed to have KFC!



Yeah, it's an extremely rare occasion to have fast food, even so delivered to the home!
All I can say is, there is still a ton of remainders in the fridge.
Might be a long long time till we order again.
HAHA!

All in all, life is still a roller-coaster.
A pretty unsuspecting one.
I just live it.
Day by day.
Enjoying the awesome downs.
Patiently waiting for the long ups.
And recovering from all the bloody nausea.



And I still love you all!
<3

Oh btw, and to you.
Yes you.

Well, as some of you may know,


I WENT FOR POLYFORUM 2011!

To sum it up..just awesome.

(I mean provided with the fact that I initially didn't want to go)

Well, where do I start?!

Let's start with the overview shall we?

Polytechnic Forum is held every year where 300 over chosen students from all Polytechnics and from all courses and walk of life gather to discuss our beloved country, Singapore!

I was one of the lucky few who got to go this year.
(Along with 300 others)

So basically, there are 2 parts(weeks) to this whole forum.

FIRST,(week)
The in Singapore part.

This year, it was held by Republic Polytechnic.
So half of the time, we were at RP.
We had discussions and talks and movie screenings and all.
We got to meet celebrities like Boo Jun Feng, Beatrice Chia-Richmond and Serene Chen.
Just to name a few.

I was in the sub-group Culture.
So everything we did or had, was in some way, related to the Singapore Culture.
We had an "Amazing Race" on the first day.
Then we had a survey quest in town.
And visits to Asian Civilizations Museum and National Museum of Singapore.
It was fun!
I wouldn't actually go to these places on my own.
And honestly, I didn't want to leave at all.
I loved the Asian Civilizations Museum the most!

Overall, it was just awesome.
Getting to know new friends from all over.
Getting into discussions and talks all.
It was just all wonderful.













SECOND, (week)
The overseas residential part.

This year, we went to the Lotus Resort, Desaru.
APPARENTLY PREVIOUS YEARS, THEY WENT ON CRUISES.
But anyway, what can I do?
Haha.

Here, was where the serious shit came down to business.
Hardcore intense discussions on the Singapore culture.
And my group were in the topic of Culture Beyone Singapore.
i.e: Singaporeans living out of Singapore.

It was the perfect scenario for me and I felt so attached and kinda emotional when it came to discussions and all.
Well I wasn't the only one. There were 2 others who were just like me!
Somewhat.
HAHA.

For once it felt kinda okay to talk about all the hard times I faced being overseas.
And in some ways proud.

Though, I did feel that more time was needed, and that all our views should be put across.
Well, we did slug out our feelings and minds and time, and I did feel kinda sad that whatever it was that we all worked so hard on, didn't go as far as we had intended it to go.
Especially for 3 of us.

But all in all, everything was for the greater good wasn't it?

In the end, it was all the wonderful times I had with all these awesome people!
It's very shocking to know, that if it wasn't for Polyforum, I wouldn't have met them.
I feel so lucky!




The highlight for me, during the polyforum was the Social Night.
It's the night where, everything is put aside, and it's all fun and dancing and pure enjoyment!
My group theme was the 60's 70's!
So we were the most colorful/vibrant of all groups there!

And we danced to Earth, Wind and Fire babyyy!

Do youoo remembaa
The very first niiight
Septembaaaa

Anyway, I'll let all the pictures do all the talking yeah.
Enough blabber from me.


At the end of it all, we had to go back to RP to meet the education minister.
Minister Heng Swee Keat.

I felt the time we had with him was really short, but hell, he is the minister.
I am so sure he got so much stuff to do..
BUT EVEN SO..
TIME TO SHORT.

AND..

IN MY HONEST OPINION..

I REALLY FELT LIKE HE DIDN'T REALLY ANSWER THE QUESTIONS DIRECTLY IN ANY WAY AT ALL.

I was kinda disappointed.

But that aside.

I left with the sweetest of memories.
And with the best of friends too.

It's something that just cannot be weighed.

When I came back, I felt so detached from the world.
I felt so disconnected.

Which is rare for me.

Truth be told,

Polyforum did have an impact on me.

And I am happy that it did.



This post officially marks my return to the blogging world!


Prepare for more!
