hello people!
went for RGS open house in the morning! met many people there.
in the morning, Davin, Zhong Han and i met at Tanglin club bus stop. Zhong Han was late, Davin was early, i was a minute or so late. once everyone was there, we left for RGS on 132. we reached there and felt quite weird at first. cause it was the first time i got into RGS for an event not meant for us (umm.. practically speaking). this was the second time i went there, the first time was reverbere '05 where JIE performed! okay, anyway, we went in and saw many cool stuff. they have rock climbing walls nicer than us!
okay, that's besides the point. the CCA booths were located at the canteen. all of em, so it was quite a mess, but definitely cosy. i saw Jie and passed her the drawing i promised. saw Cheng Hoon in her NP uniform. then i saw YanHan, Kristin, and Shi Hua too! she ran away from us initially >< do we look that scary? okay, maybe we were a LIL prominent, but not to that extent right? haha. met jiacong too! the booths were all made by the students themselves. very teen-appealing designs. saw Vivien at the choir booth. umm, then we saw Jingyi at the physics booth (i think) and she told us to play a game, but we didn't =\ sorry
next up was the second floor. we went in into the hall. some other clubs and societies there. and (i think) the RP details. things like leadership, attachments, programmes and academics. they were using MACS! so cooool!!
then we saw Shuhan while we went towards K S Chee. Francesca then brought us out on a school tour! thankew! we talked to Weiling, who was a little stressed cause she had to cover up for 3 people! haiyo~ RGPSB, must listen to Weiling!!! saw Angeline too! and Rachel.
after that, we went to Far East to have breakfast. walked there from RGS. Rachel wanted to see us at first, but we were there already, so sorry.. we went to the chicken rice stall. that TzeQing brought me to during SLC orientation. later we found out it was their last day there :( the chicken rice there is really nice (at least for the three of us) after lunch, we went to meet Alfred at DFS bus stop. on the way there, we saw Jean Ting! then we proceeded on with meeting Alf; it was quite hilarious. cause what happened was Alf called us then we tried finding each other. then i realised he was right beside me! i was seriously LAGGING... left for RGS. went through the path that we took in the morning, just that now there's Alf coming along. this time, we saw even more people! Daveen andd... umm, forgot >< but i just know we saw more people.
then i donated to Kristin's box (cause i promised her in the morning), it's for some out-of-Singapore programmes fund. later Davin and i went to stone at Rock Climbing place while Alf and Zhong Han went to watch the OM performance. Weiling came along and we talked. after that Joelynn came, she has tuition, and the four of us realised we have to go too, so we left for school. without saying managing to say bye to the rest of the people =
heard from Joelynn that she's going to move house soon. sigh~ so we reached school very early. talked with other council people there.
sat through the briefing. Shiwei and Daryl was trying very very hard to keep the fire burning, or at least start the fire, but due to uninterested people and a very weak mnapower (many did not turn up), the whole place was very cold. and especially if there are disillusioned people like me, it would make the whole situation a whole lot worse. sometimes, i really hate myself for being unable to give something my all. i do that as a form of self-protection. the orientation OT people should know very well why... i really don't know where i could find the passion and interest i had for council (and everything else) that i had when i was a year one student.. don't know how to get it back or where to start... i really hope God would help me along the way as i try to get out of this cloud of suppression.. i guess i still can't move on since orientation.. BUT i will still continue the struggle.
sorry Shiwei, sorry council. i've been a letdown, and up till now, i'm still one to the council.
there are just some things in life where you get stuck in. if you manage to get out of it, you get stronger. but if you don't you just get disillusioned like me... i don't want to be like that, but my sub-conscious mind always remind me of what happened during december '05. what a fateful month, a fateful time.
i guess i shall stop here for now. having an emotional overload. don't worry about me. i'll be fine soon. and i guess most people won't read till the end of the post cause it's very long. sorry for stopping here abruptly.
pain?
