The stress and fatigue

Hmm. I'm (I think all of us) really starting to feel the stress of homework.
The first official study day and we have Chem, Maths and Phy tutorial homeworks.
PW looks very demanding.
Chem and Phy still appear humane.
Chinese sounds relaxed but serious.
GP requires discipline (really a lot of it).
Physics SPA looks exactly the same like O Level.
And lectures after lectures are tiring.
Maybe we still havent got used to it.
My stressful timetable:

Oh, and speaking of them, we should count ourselves lucky that there's not much tension with 0918/0922 in the LT after 9 hours worth of lessons and lectures today.
Today's a long day, tomorrow will be about the same.
Okay, and that's about it.
And I'm off the scrape up the remaining tutorials. :)

Study=fail

Long long long long long time since I previously posted! Many events happened within this period of time. Wait, before I start, it's gonna be a long long long post. as long as how long I didn't post, goodness it's LONG!


Okay, we go in chronological order, okay?


Start from December.


First half of December, I was still in HQ NCC 56th Cadet Officers Course. Okay, fun and enriching course lah. I got a Course birthday surprise on 11th (my birthday of course). Yay! Haha thanks to the instructors. The course still ended on a high with our POP on 12th, we all got our Probation Ranks! Also abit emotional on POP Day lah, we, Syndicate 1 were going to part. Luckily no one cried. Haha. On another note, Central District was reshuffled. New DC, new TCO, new DS. Only person unchanged is CSO. Okay, DC discharged all 53rd and above on 13th. Okay now put aside HQ matters first.


After Central briefing on the morning of 13th, I went off to Macau straight. Straight means straight. Once I book out from AQC the next hour I was at Changi Airport.


Okay finally reached Macau once again. Yes, once again. Fyfi I'm now a Macau PR. Muahahaha. So basically in Macau just slacked the whole day and day by day. Then we decided to shift house. So we went to see a 35th floor unit at La Cite (just opposite our current La Baie Du Noble) but did not manage to move due to the insincerity of the owner. So in the end we moved on 27th to a 42nd floor unit. Yes, 42nd floor. Cool right? Haha. Though, this year's christmas was all about packing.


After that all we returned to Singapore on 30th Dec. The house (in SG) was under painting mode, till 4th Jan. So basically my liberty came only from 5th Jan onwards. It's a hectic but fruitful schedule:


5th: School training
Yeah, erm I was satisfied with the mock attack.

6th: Nothing (lol, styaed home)

7th: Orientation
Well done, we recruited 64 Sec Ones on preliminary.

8th: Hmm. Nothing much again, I packed up my room.

9th: I went HQ in the early afternoon, lol, to clarify BUC. Then in the evening, my mother's birthday surprise. Happy birthday Mom!

10th: Sent off my brother to NZ for Ex Thunder Warrior.

11th: Was a same, boring day at home besides I got my haircut! Lol.
Oh and yeah, my granduncle passed away, just past midnight.

12th: Results Day!!

Hmm. I basically screwed up my humanities and sciences to get L1R5 of 11 points (raw). And the most shocking part was, Chemistry was not used for my L1R5, when I have been quite constantly doing well in Chem in school! And btw, Idontlikethatcarolintanface.

13th: There was a school training so I went, after accompanying Faisal to ACJC open House which I was not even impressed at all.

14th: Trainfire at HQ NCC
No I didnt go for trainfire to release my emotions. Actually KaiLin called me at 2250 and asked me to replace Jeremy. So I went, since I havent been to any HQ event.
And basically the cadet's attitude SUCK, cadets from HIHS and Greendale Sec (although HIHS Specs were good assistants). There was also an armoury screw-up. But heard from Hezwan that my cadets were disciplined and responsive. Thanks for the praise anyway!

15th: The funeral for my granduncle. Coincidentally, it was also my aunt's birthday.

16th: Stayed at home and later got a new bed (with my mum) for my grandfather

17th: Hmm. And so I went with The Black Parade (Sundram, Cooberan, Faisal) to Yishun to watch Ai Villu, the tamil movie (according to them, a blockbuster featuring quite a number of stars).

18th was the normal sunday routine (NSR). Hahaha

And basically I'm going to skip till 30th Jan.
CNY was very much the same as previous years, boring visits and never-ending card games. Angpaos total was okay, I think.

And on the bright bright morning of 30th Jan, I checked my phone and saw Nanyang JC. At first I didnt like the posting. But throughout the weekend (some CNY party and relaxation with a stayover), I think I dissolved that thinking and brought an open mind to NYJC on 2 Feb.

According to Faisal I'm in OG33. So I checked the board again and yeah, I'm in 33. I reached school at 8am but assembly actually satrt at 8.30. So I walked arounf the campus and almost got lost. Then met up with the GESS people and proceeded to the hall. There are about 15-20 people from GESS in NYJC.
And on the very first day I got to know Chan Hong from Deyi Sec. He scored 10 points, triple science. Wow. Hmm, like I say, I screwwed up my humanities. If not I would have landed in SAJC or even AJC.

And my subject combination posted is Physics, Chemistry, Econs, Maths all at H2 Level.
And my class is 0919 or OG AlexFive.

After a week of academic orientation was CT Orientation this week. The theme was 'Madagascar', in case you wonder why is there Alex. Basically the most hated 'tribe' was Melman.
Enjoyed four days of games and mass dance, Sentosa 'escape', games and mass dance again followed by CCA Bazaar and finally wet games, mass dance, cheering competition and a Disco Night!

Okay. Now time for reflection.
0919 formed closed bonds and really made the best out of orientation. Although we may not be very good at cheering and games, the ultimate aim of orientation is to bond the class together right? At least we have a few insider jokes that no one else knows, and thats good, I think. And we have every lunch together and from Day 2, even dinner. I dont think many classes do that. Although we dont have a class tee unlike 0913 (they are just rich kids). The bonds can never be broken, but shirt can always be torn. Hmm. Okay. I think that's it.

And yesterday was GP Day. Some boring Get Ed seminars followed by an intra school talk on how to use the GC. And my angel havent written to me!

Oh yes! And happy Valentines Day! Today, btw, is also the second annivesary of this blog. Muahahaha.

Okay, thats all for now.
