i complained to some ppl a week before campaigning began that for the first time since ever, i'm not really enjoying school...
and though my source of discontent is manifold, i think most of my friends know what it is...
today was a particularly bad day, where every lesson was boring as heck...
i'm not the only one who feels that way, as i've read from some of my classmates' blogs...
but more on that later...
so after school ended i gave clarence a call to see if he was going home, but he was going out with his classmates...
subsequently went with han an/deon to binge in the SAC (my life how sad, must eat canteen food)
the best thing to happen to the school this year is the pasta store, its got tiramisu at least...
ate and ate and ate and chatted like mad...
i'd forgotten how exhilirating it is... haven't laughed like that in a long time...
its funny how talking to different groups of friends can make you laugh at totally different things...
like talking to them/sean they all the ittybitty details of ppl are scrutinized and discussed at length...
when talking to the rest of my exclassmates from .11 its like just joking and whatever...
and when talking to rachh/sherr they all its just one huge laughfest...
more on that later...
left jit/merv/clarence they all at the SAC to go home,
got robbed of my file on the way by elendrus, chatted with exmathteacher, then read more of EAST WEST on the way back..
haven't had the energy to read on the bus/train in the longestLONGEST time, but the long weekend did wonders for my post-campaign/work-wrecked body...
and when i got home, i decided that the ridiculous break from blogging needed to stop...
i remembered how i thought ppl who closed down blogs just couldn't sustain, and there was no way i was gonna end up like that... blogging, as has been for the past 5 years, is a great fun outlet... *pats blog - good blog!*
so while changing my template to simplify everything, i decided against a wordpress page though its super in vogue, coz i'm also personally against changing blog addresses... go jlcaines.blogspot.com!
and after that, decided to reflect on what's been keeping me down for so long...
so 'more on that later' topic 1 -
as i was reading my classmates' blogs that were linked from classoffivepointnine.blogspot.com, i realised that i was missing out on a tonne of what's been going on...
and its not a new revelation...
my quietness and severe introvert-ism in class is in no way desired, but i've chosen it more out of not wanting to intrude on ppl's groups and such, but its taking its toll on me...
much of the reason i go to school is for the ppl, and the ppl i spend the most time with are from my class...
thusly i resolve to be a tad more open, gradually of course..
its not like i dunno anyone, far from it...
i knew songyeong from choir since sec 1, shaoxiong/genhuong from sec 1 too, chunwui/matthew/nicholas from way back in p5 (gosh the js days seem so long ago), malc from the primary school days too (can't remember if we were in the same class!), gerald from rmun last year, jim from being a loyal debate supporter, tedkin/justin from the uber OM batch of '04...
so yeah, it IS kinda hard being the only .11 guy, but that's something ppl have overcome and i should too..
its APRIL for goodness sake...
topic 2 -
church ppl!
have spent alota time with rachh/sher since the ebb from jyc comm'05...
and jasmine too..
got to know kevin, and talked to guonian more (never really did even though we were practically in the same group since sec 1), and elisa and jp too, though i see the former alot in infocomm too...
the easter drama was an immense success, and the acoustic guitar stuff was great too!
looking forward to cheesecake already!
and finally, westside story with musksminusjoshincamp+rachh/sher/debng(helloaussiegirl!) was fun, though the singing wasn't too great...
i would have watched it only for the i'm so pretty song!
met miche after a long time too... love them pumps! x)
its supposed to be recampaign week, but today all the candidates were like, no thanks...
