1. Run For Hope on Sunday - first time I've ever walked 10km, and probably the last too and dude we took 2 hours 15 minutes and 40 seconds, pretty impressive no? Went home and bragged to my brother and he said half incredulous and half worried, "My timing is 56 minutes. And that's slow." and proceeded to do some Math (which I'm very proud he accomplished, NS turned him stupid) and asked "THAT MEANS YOU TAKE HALF AN HOUR FOR 2.4. HOW'D YOU PASS?" and my mum happily adds on "She didn't."
In my defense my muscles died halfway and I didn't bother retaking.
Then again after running a maximum of 20 lampposts and getting too tired for a distance so short, there's something seriously wrong with my stamina.
2. Second job - some Optician's conference, downgrade from Standard Chartered much? But ah well these experiences are really letting me learn that people aren't always who you make them out to be- first dinner it was the leader's bitch and gang, who turned out to be nice, decent people, second dinner it was the bossy suckup guy who turned out to be pretty sincere and helpful :) Can't wait for more work~ Including work till 11 after leaving COH retreat WHY ARE WE SO MAD.
3. OSL sendoff - ah admit it, no one gave much shits about OSL'11 leaving. But I LOVE MY OSL'10 TEAM SO SO SO MUCH + so glad I got to see them again, especially Gecko and ahhhh <3 And the mentors too hehehe isabelle zong lisa!! Oh yes I cared about Sarah leaving <3
4. My life has been pretty uneventful hasn't it. I'm not even seeing people out of family till Friday. Someone help me pleaseeee.
5. Then again this away time is good - I'm pulling away from all the wrong people but even with that knowledge it doesn't stop me from pulling away and I doubt things will go back to normal but I can't seem to mind much? Ah well. Need to go overseas or something and get truly away. ): Sucks how this is the only holiday we haven't done anything, not even a 3D2N, and this is when I need it most.

First day of work so must blog about it in as much detail as my 2am-yet-oddly-awake-self can manage!
Okay I can't manage much so point form:
- Got damn scared at first cos everyone was so rowdy and idk what and we were like !!! HOW TO WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SCARE US TO SUCH AN EXTENT
- Spent dinner getting more scared/ eating like rabbits/ eating more mentos than real food
- ACTUAL DINNER WAS CRAZY LIKE HELL - Ningxin was supposed to be beverage girl and Albert & I were supposed to do food and everything was maaaad, we spent practically one hour queueing up for first course and feet ached as crappily as crap can feel and arm muscles probably expanded what with all the mad heavy plates!!! Ended up running around with everyone doing beverages and meals for everybody not within our tables and disappearing to find red wine and coming back to realise an entire course was over?!?
- WALKING TO BAR TO COLLECT DRINKS = GET TEN MORE ORDERS ALONG THE WAY
- Angmoh dudes getting drunk and asking for water and beer, I come back with water first and he goes "PRIORITIES! BEER BEFORE WATER!!! PRIORITIES!!!!!!"
- Awkward deprived dudes going around asking every girl in the line "YOU FROM SINGAPORE? YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE FROM MYAAANMAR!"
- Standing at the back dancing to Rasa Sayang 8) 8) 8)
- TODAY WAS AMAZING my feet ache like crap BUT TODAY WAS AMAZING
- I LOVE IT
- GONNA WORK MOREEEEEE
need sleep soon

Significant things today!
1. O's. As much as I'm insanely happy that I'm free for the rest of the holidays I still have this very mixed-feeling-ish feeling about it all ): I walked out of the exam hall
hoping to pass knowing a shitload of chengyu, my vocabulary wider than it's ever been, but I still speak like an awkward chindian and my intonation's all screwy and I still don't dare to order food in Chinese after thirteen years of learning it.
Blame it on the education system but I think it's my fault too. Aiya.
2. Received death sentence. Elaboration via other mediums if you get what I mean LOL.
3. Submitted my subject combi - BCMG. At the very last moment I was thinking, oh shit, maybe I should take BCME, maybe I should appeal for an addition H1 Geog, that'll still fulfill everything I set out to do - take the CM for practicality, B for practicality & interest, and the G for personal reasons.
But somehow in a weird, screwed up way, BCMG is some odd method of proving to myself that 1) I dare to be different, 2) I dare to follow my dreams/ pursue my passion/ every other so-called inspirational quote they throw at you with no further guidelines whatsoever, 3) I will not fail because I choose not to be "practical".
The personal reasons go on top, but these are very, very firm constituting reasons.
It's okay.
I am the 1%. I stand with the 99%.

CHINESE O'S IN TWO DAYS, DEAR ME, WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID???
Shut down the computer already. Seriously.
9:39 PM
Farewell Assembly last Friday - I don't really know what to say/ feel the need to say something, actually.
It's amazing how our batch became so united over the span of two weeks, just through our flash mob and the tumblr and- I love how somehow batch eleven, be it from CCAs or united as one, is unlike any other.
O's in two days, and like suyun said, endure for two more days after sixteen years- WE CAN DO ITTT.
A-ban, let's claim our din tai fung!! (Criteria is half the class getting A hehehe)
<3 <3 <3

Farewell Assembly tomorrow and I've never had four years pass as quickly as it did, and to all the juniors out there who have those moments when you just can't stand this school and how it works,
remember: you'll miss it when it's over
