sigh. another lonely valentine's day. someone save me already. =/ but anyway, it was fun to celebrate the day for about 15 minutes with a few smses. so it isn't a total loss, i believe. at least that's what i think. XD

but aaaaaaaanyway. class tests are really coming up. geog's next week, and there's also presentations to be done. hopefully i don't stone ): it's so busy for me nowadays. i don't like it. ): there's so much work for me now. but on the bright side, i might get to go home this march holidays! yay. that's why i'm gonna go ask for permission to leave for co and el2 lessons. since i can't leave el2, there'll be many lessons in june. not good. <.<

met some taiwanese people this week. they're quite funny. better than prcs in my opinion *cough* but yeah, keeping in contact with them and all. XD i'm considering going for oip this year. see how. mr teo said slim chance but it's worth a try asking for it anyway! speaking of which, scholars committee work as a leader is done for me. already submitted the list of committee members getting how many hours and stuff. now all that's left is to settle the financial problems and the photos. ain't that fun. D:

pain damnit! sprained my ankle this morning whilst playing badminton. and this is the only reason why i'm typing this now. (:

anyway i was playing with kah wah when all of a sudden my leg went cuckoo and i tripped. freaking pain after feeling that the ankle was a bit swollen, but continued on playing as usual. went for scholars committee meeting. ah well. long debrief there. maybe details next time? (next time = never) XD

but yeah, now i'm in the room complaining about how painful my legs are while my room mate's snoring away. still haven't bathed yet. and there's cca tomorrow too. what'll i do? someone help me. ): and thanks to those who've wished me well (: appreciate it.

just a short post to keep you guys updated. XD signing off!

ironic. i have like 5-6 drafts in my blog right now. everytime i sit down and i want to peacefully post something, there's bound to be distractions here or there. damnit. ah well, i guess i'll start talking before people start shooting with "why you never update?!" :p

anyway, the scholars' committee project is over! i wouldn't call it a success at all, but as everyone pointed out, it's a huge learning process. being the leader, i was pulled down by many factors including inactive *cough* group members, poor planning and of course, my poor leadership. ): but ah well, i've had a fair share of lady luck's blessing as well, as the event went quite smoothly and ended great. thanks everyone who have made this possible!

one thing happened was that i happen to have overlooked that i didn't call up/inform anyone regarding my absence last saturday for an emergency meeting for the committee. i currently am waiting for punish, which, according to mrs nathan, will be something for me to remember. gulp. but to be honest, up until now, other than the fact that i've forgotten to tell anyone regarding the meeting, i have no regrets. it was a very last-minute decision, and it was all improvision. and i was prepared to take the blame and face the music the second i made it, up until now.

anyway! before i get punished in whatever way, life's been okay for me. starting to feel some of the rush of RI again, though it was easier facing problems this year. it's like i'm already prepared to take on the year. let's hope my brain doesn't fail me. i just need more sleep. there will be syf for chinese orchestra and likely another project for scholars committee, along with a concert for co too, but i'll think about it later. it's time i prioritize well again.

speaking of which, i've learnt from my conversation with mrs nathan yesterday that i could've asked someone for help. maybe it's due to my arrogance that i didn't consult others to help until the eleventh hour. ironic, knowing that i've been trying to fulfil my responsibilities but in fact acted irresponsibly. hmm.

to my relief, she didn't lecture me for my way of putting some things that are seemingly unimportant to others first. in fact she said that it is all a learning process and everyone makes mistakes. it's all about the process, she told me. i can't agree more. how could i have neglected such a small thing to CALL one teacher-in-charge and inform them about my case? nevertheless, she's very understanding and has even asked me to send her my schedule so that she could offer suggestions on how to plan my time. here's a big thanks to you, mrs nathan, if you're reading this. (:

i don't really have much to talk about for cny. seriously. no idea why. ): i guess the happiness of chinese new year was overshadowed by deaths in the family as well as the economic recession. i've been trying to save up a lot but i would still have to ask my parents to t/t money over to me. within 1 month, my $550 quarterly budget was reduced to a mere $130 due to the huge amount of supplementary fees. how to be happy leh?

how naive i was to think that i didn't need to ask my parents for money. here's the school sapping money from our account. what's the point of telling us that we'll get $2200 every year then? why not just deduct the darn $420 away earlier? that's not even inclusive of phone bills, books, class fund, supplementary books and so on and so forth. damnit. i guess it's no use whining anyway. i'll just have to minimise (and I do mean it) my spending.

my sony ericsson w910i has died, really. i've been trying to call them up but sadly they're telling me parts haven't arrived. part of me is alright with that; how can i complain when a supposedly repair fee of $200 was waived as my phone was declared "in-warranty"? on the other hand, the speed is too damn slow for repairs. my dad's been taunting me and asking me to change to nokia. so much for customer-friendliness, sony ericsson. - -

there're so many more things that i wanna say. cny performance in school, friends, family members, chinese new year, work etc etc. i'll be going out soon to settle some financial matters. i'm praying i do not have to ask my dad for a "stimulus package". it's time i learnt the first lesson of management accounting the hard way.
