O1 2006- Let's Jam!
Although we've only had TWO formals before O1 (haha, Jamie), I must say O1 has been terribly successful so far! I've heard tons of comments about how good O1 is and how much the J1s are having fun already, and there have been many people asking how they can join council! That is like how cool, we're actually influencing people (HAHA!)! Ang definitely wasn't kidding about how tiring it would be, and it's visible how fatigued the whole council really is when you step into the council room and see everyone stoning and staring into space instead of making noise or chatting like they normally do. We go to school every single day, even on Sats and Suns (to practise fac dance and fill water bombs).

It's been a really stressful period, especially for Jamie, who has to take charge of the entire O1, and be under the pressure of a screaming Ang. But she's been really brave, optimistic and filled with positive energy, never scolding anyone or getting mad even if people keep asking the dumbest questions. I know most of us are really in awe of your ability to hype up the crowd, and to motivate every single person to have fun in O1 (your famous "it's ok to be hot but not hot-tempered!") and to make it a success! You have every single one of us behind you Jamie jiayou! O1 rocks!

My New Lit Teacher
I never imagined I would be reading my lit text during the period of O1, but by the looks of it, I'd have to...my new teacher is ANG!!!!!! ARGH! I've heard she's always picking councillors out! Cos she knows us! And it's ok if she loves you like how she loves Calvin, Steph, Mindy etc, but she DOESN'T LIKE ME! Not sure why too, but can see it when she looks at me with pitying disgust. No wonder Adhuranti Roy's "God of Small Things" is lying silently in my bagpack.

OG 16 (3/1-6/1 so far)
A quiet bunch comprising of mostly NY and HC students (surprise surprise), my OG was surprisingly unhigh despite their very enthusiastic OGL. Maybe it's my fault that I neglected them (I didn't do a contact list or whatever like other OGLS did, neither did I write individual notes. We didn't even have an OG outing!), but they were horribly quiet most of the time! They had no questions, stared at me blankly when I asked them stuff, and only smiled mildly when we were playing games. It's pretty sad I feel that MY OG turned out to be like that, unlike Glori's OG1 which was like how incredibly enthusiastic about every single game! Oh well, I still hope every single one of them would do well in their new classes.

Cabbage Captain's Ball (5/1)
Shitty was supposed to be in charge of this game with me, but her uncle passed away, so she couldn't come to school, so I had to do this game alone. It was terribly frustrating because it is EXTREMELY difficult to look out for the score, see if there're any idiots playing rough, to look out for casualties and also to check to see if there's any foul play. It is absolutely insane and I almost went mad when there was this mix-up in score cos I couldn't remember! I wanted to slap those boys who almost screamed into my face that they had like what, one point higher than what I remembered? So lame! Boys are bastards. And there were some who complained about foul play but there was NO way I could keep my eye on so many things!!! Was a terrible time alone, but thank God Charmaine came over to help. I got a TERRIBLE sunburn and probably ten people who think I'm stupid or useless now.

06A12 (6/1)
I'm class councillor of 06A12, which incidentally is my junior class! They're not a fully LEP class, which is good cos it removes my pressure to speak publicly in mandarin! Sadly the class comprises of only people from four different schools, 5 RV, 8 HC, 3 Dunman and the rest all NANYANG. On the whole I think they're a pretty nice bunch, especially the boys, and they were pretty co-operative during the icebreakers, albeit the lack of suitable enthusiasm, but it was ok. I hope they'd bond further and form a very, very loud and vivacious A12, but I doubt that'd happen because of the extremely Chinese nature of their schools. Somehow only people from English schools tend to be more lively, enthusiastic and outspoken in an unirritating way in nature. But it's good, at least they come from the same Chinese-y background, so they probably can communicate more! It helps a lot, cos I realise I stick to SC and RG girls very much more than NY. Personal experience. But YAY 06A12 you rock and thanks for looking happy when I ke bah bahed you all!!!

Random Acts with Wankai (6/1)
Was very, very weird today! After senior-meet-junior session, WK and I walked together to the busstop, but when her bus arrived, we just decided we'd go to KAP for a while. Then when we reached there we just decided on the spot that we'd have dinner together. Then after dinner at Mac's I didn't feel like going home cos it was only 5, so we went to Westmall to choose a movie! But thank goodness Wallace and Gromit: The Attack of the Were Rabbit was showing, so we just bought tickets and went in! It was so random! I very seldom do random things, since every single event is so carefully planned out, so it was terribly exciting and fun to be so spontaneous with Wankai! WAG:TAOFWR was so FUNNY OMG!!!!!!!!! But because there were only so few people in the audience I could hear our laughs (ok mainly mine since WK only does a light chuckle) reverberate in the theatre!!!! But well done it was SUCH a marvellous show!!!!!!! Super lame and random too to suit the mood! YAY I love WANKAI! We should do this more often!


And ok this has been a very long entry about what has happened the past week! And I've got to run off to school now! Tata!
