4r5. Class of 2006

4r5. The colour in my life.

That's 3r5 and 4r5. Graduated last year, 2006. Today is the 8th of January 2007. Just got home from the chalet after checking out. It's so lovely seeing all of them again. Even Clement came. How i wish those who were working could get a chance to come. It would be freakingly absurd if the employers said that they can't go for a class chalet reunion thing. If I were working and they said that I would walk right out on them. Miss all of them so much, and i keep getting that weird feeling wash over me everytime i go to school meeting new people. Its like its just a moment ago that everyone is all together everyday, and the next moment everyone is already gonna have to move on. Mdm Quek told me that i just gotta learn to accept that as i grow older cuz its gonna happen more often. Well i will try to do so, while at the same time keeping them in my mind and within also. Got to keep all those happy and wonderful moments and place it somewhere beyond the intrusion of dust. Hell sometimes i wish i was back at marine parade library revising with my friends, even if that would mean that o levels will still be ahead and not yet over.

Luckily the chalet went on fine with relatively few hitches. Oh ya, im sooo sorry for keeping you all waiting for the fire to start cuz it has been a really long time since Esmond, Yanjie and I did camping activities and somehow the knack of getting a fire started fades away without constant practice. Hope u all could send me the chalet photos soon. The rest of our photos are on this website created by Tammie: http://maomao4r5.shutterfly.com/action/

I miss my classmates a lot. I'm not gonna use "Guys like me can't really express their feelings all that well" as an excuse to withhold that sentence. I hope we will not get any further apart cuz that will be like removing so many happy memories from inside. All those happy memories that we have, whether in class, or during recess, or anywhere else are the very things that keep me going day by day in school.

I wanna compress all that I feel into just one sentence and pen it down here before I forget to mention it.

If I could picture in my mind just one of the many wonderful times we had together, even when revising the most dull stuff together, and go back to that moment in time and live it through all over again, I would call it my own little nook of heaven.

More songs

All of them are songs with rich history behind them. Guess ive got a really weird taste when it comes to music

Dec hols so far

Got Yishun JC for PAE application. Didn't wanna end up in there for PAE, but I'll just give it a try. My other 2 options were way too good for my prelim results i guess. Also ive quit all the 3 jobs that ive got cuz they were all too boring. Don't wanna say more about that lol.

Sacred Spirit-A Native American song

I find Native American songs really beautiful and there's this distinct feeling of rich history behind their culture, language and traditions.

spilling thoughts.

O levels over now. Whoosh and its 9am on the 20th of november. Last paper done. I love the feeling of relief, but with it comes a sudden change of 'pace' in almost everything. It seems that just a moment before i was rushing to get things done and revise everything before the exams and now everything is over and everythings a standstill.
All of a sudden theres so much time and so little to do cuz about a year ago what i did to concentrate on o levels was that i got myself totally disinterested in any pc game or any real games so that i could have that extra focus. So without any games that i really like now, time is passing really slowly.
So I applied for a job. A few jobs actually.
And the first interview in my life was quite a nervous surprise. At about 2.30pm on a day earlier this week, that lady employer asked about 6 of us (all teenagers) to go into the interview room. Surprised me abit cuz i thought all interviews are conducted for one employee at a time. Its not a real interview room, cuz you have to stand the whole time and if you look behind you can see so many bustling workers at their desks either on the phone, or staring at a computer screen, or looking through documents. Looks like a travel agent centre. I wasn't shortlisted. So next monday im gonna try another one. gosh i have to get my hands on something. Met another nervous teenager like me who was also applying. Hope it turns out fine for others.
Went to marine parade library today. Read some books and watched a really wonderful bunch of performances by a trio playing guitars and singing. I admire their confidence. I love to see the little children at the library too. Half felt like walking to the beach nearby to feel the wonderful breeze all over again. I still remember the wonderful seabreeze there when we stopped at bedok jetty on our hiking trip. It was blowing constantly and it felt really nice. It was really cloudy today though so i just walked to Eunos MRT and took the train home.
Hmm i need to get the cash from our anasing race winnings into a nets card so that i can book the chalets. Need to do it ASAP. I hope that i can get a successful booking and not let anyone down cuz ive promised that i would book one during the hols. I miss my friends alot.
Maybe i need to learn to be a little more assertive and less soft-spoken so that i can do better in later interviews. Everyone says im soft-spoken. Guess i need to get used to getting across to people cuz its crucial in doing any job.
Here's one really funny thing i got out of a children's book that i read at a bookstore while waiting for the interview:
Once a year the pimples on your brother's face spell out his name and address in Braille.
And another one: Starfishes are alcoholics, thats why you sometimes see empty bottles on the beach and never ever see a starfish standing.

Mother Tongue O level paper

It was mother tongue o level today. Compo and letter writing for paper 1 and the usual compre and bina ayat(Making a sentence) and cloze passage for paper 2. Making the 3 sentences was the toughest for me. I dont read malay much and any words or phrases under the sun could be tested. I only did 2 at first and did the last one as I was checking. Felt really nervous although I tried to calm myself down. As I entered the hall I hummed the tune of a song thats really close to my heart. Its what I usually do to calm down when I feel nervous or afraid when facing difficult situations.

Now as I start, upon my chosen way,
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play,
Grant as I promise, courage new for me,
To be the best, the best that I can be.

Help me to keep my honour shining bright,
May I be loyal in the hardest fight,
Let me be able for my task and then,
To earn a place among my fellow men.
