SNDCC / ST. JOHN

my gang!
mun, chou, shimin, queen, neighbour candice, celin!



my date! Lawrence! who attends gsp1101e (gossips exposure) module with me!

many claimed that he's the most handsome guy in the blk. hmm. Edwin.
this is our ex blk c head! darius (uncle)! well, he did this action because he kept saying that i do this when i play badminton!



these are the table girls! taken when the guys went to collect food for their partners.




we went up to the hall for performances.
chio right! hahaa

see our doors?! this is my neighbour! =)


honestly, SNDCC dinner was good! the experience was extraordinary!
seen the pictures! its cool! =)
and seriously, its a pity for those uni students who fail to get this chance to enjoy such an event.
you have to be in hall (i.e. hostel) to have such activities. and people, many more are coming up! such as 'bua ya', seniors' treats, d&d!
so join sheares hall! sheares hall will win the war, sheares hall will win the war..















proud to announced, im officially out of St. John Ambulance Brigade!
i have done my best for sj for my past 7 years of contributions. since the day i stepped into the quadrangle where cpr was performed on a dummy, i was determined to be there the next year to publicise sj. and from the interview by ma'am ruping donkey yrs ago, i promised to sign on and assist in sj activities. i am glad to say, i have accomplished all these.

Zone 8 games day went better than i thought it would be. although hiccups such as me ordering wrong number of medals for the games (dumb!), we managed to get it covered up after all. im sure these people will not read my blog, but im just sincerely saying this to everyone else who reads, that im truly thankful and appreciate the greatest help i have gotten on that day. thank you sir chin chee wah (zone sup), zhuling (senior), mark, aaron, zhenglin, zewei, hweechin (my ex squadmates), foongming, melissa, mingli (juniors)!! of course, wenjie (cchms), yali and azlan (pcss) contributed a lot too!!

special thanks to my standard mates who i had invited back to be my guests but ended up helping me to clear up the area! my deepest appreciation and admiration to you guys.
all in all, you guys should understand now. apart from the leadership skills, the first aid, foot drills that you have acquired from sj, the most important of all is true friendship! these people made me feel like an angel. they put wings on me. and helped me fly. the perspiration, the pain, the fear we had together, made us where we are now. im grateful.

well, there's definitely some disappointment on that day. that is, ben, huiying, szeling not around! and ma'am chuiyee came so late! (though i know its not my fault, haha!) ah. it would absolutely be better if they can "see me off". but well, its ok. i did something that im proud of. =) shall disclose if u ask me personally. haa.

if god were to bless me. pls bless my friends too.

serial

hall activities are so full that im having problems managing my time!! so its pretty true that you might not be able to study well if u stay in hostel. but of course, without hall stay, it feels like u've missed out something in uni life. im sure i'll miss it when im out of sheares.
so ibg has started! and apparently, i didnt do good for badminton. ugh. i was praying for alison, junlong, kenneth, ziyang (my coaches) to be with me. hahaa. but well, lost one. won one. i did my best. i hate to be defeated. that's why i prefer to play sports for leisure, and not competition. on the other hand, every match helps me to grow in a way. the experience. the chance. are a lesson learnt, with a big scar on me. of course, without the support and encouragement by my hall mates and seniors, i wouldnt even dare to step out into the court again. and, im touched when u guys shouted the "leeling u chiobu u look like woo!" cheer! LOL. haaa. =D
this is the highlight! sheares hall is having a formal dinner tomorrow night! this is the one where the freshmen have to find a senior (of yr opposite sex) to be your partner for the evening! omg. this is damn embarrassing. we have to practically went up to the guys' room and asked them individually. and well, i started with "hey! are u free on the 23rd?" "can you go with me for the dinner?" hahaa! i felt like shit! have never done it before. but well, after doing so, its not so tough after all. hahaa! we're told to prepare a gift for our partner too! so hmm. i guess mine is quite presentable larh. i put effort in it at least. hahaa. well, the best part is, tomorrow before 6, we'll have to dress properly, and knock on our partner's room, to ask them to go to the mpsh (multi purpose sports hall - where the dinner is held) with us!! o gosh!! honestly, i dont feel good! ahh!! this is going (quite) against my rule. i hate to be forced to do things! ahh. and like wad hweechin said (she knows me well!) "you're the kind that needs to be on the steering wheel all the time!". well, absolutely!! whenever im off, i feel WEIRD! and i loathe this feeling. and chin continued to say "that's a man characteristic!" oh god. hahaa!! im damn not ladylike ah! hahaa. gotta be more demure tomorrow!
games day is coming. and once again, it gave me insomnia. lost appetite. i dont wana feel this way. but pls people. u know wad. only until today, im informed that, only 4 members of my committee will reach tpss on time on sat. haii. how do u expect the event to work? im seriously thinking that i'll flop this whole damn event. but somewhat. i can't choose to dig a hole and hide in it! i guarantee that many hiccups will arise on that day itself. haii. i really hope to leave st john with gd memories. but it doesnt seem to be possible now. maybe, i really should have left st john even earlier. a mistake made. whatever it is. saturday is my last day in st john. people, bless me pls. let me leave with tears of joy. and not tears of sadness.
thanks.
i really need to sleep now.

hall initiation

im supposed to attend a 4pm lecture today. which means that ive no lessons until 4! its quite bored. but im gona meet angela for lunch! if not im gona rot in my room soon.
well, yesterday's hall night activity was quite fun. we were split into groups, and go around campus to "claim" items. such as potted plants, benches, orange man, pig figurine. hahaa. it was cool trying to distract the security guard. as our hall funds are running low, we're glad to have new items in for free. hee!
then we had a night venture where we were blind folded and led around biz school. well, disturbed by seniors and shockingly, juniors too! haa. i guess im pretty bold larh. no fright night is frightening enough. =x but of course, it was a traditional way of welcoming us into blk c.
afterwhich we had a 'fa tad lou' game. where the girls and guys are separated. then each group are allowed to call a few opp. sex members over, and get them to do digusting stuffs. this part was gross and horrifying. the guys were asked to wear their underwear outside the shorts! take off the shirts and tie them around their necks! and others transport water by mouth from one person to another. omg. i couldn't even make myself to look at it. well, as for mine, i shall keep mum.
yea so like i say. these were just part of initiation day to welcome the freshmen. anyway, ibg (inter-block games) is coming up next! where everyone becomes captain of a certain sport. well, of course, i volunteered to be badminton captain! woah. hahaa! i miss my badminton gang!!
alright. going out room soon! =p

bunking

alright! just finished area cleaning. my bunk looks sparkling clean and neat! hahaa.
went ikea last night with my hall mates. bought a stool and a dog food bowl. hall life is quite exciting i guess. supper, mahjong, bridge and talk c*** at night. oh, the guys play hide and seek as well! they hid our shoes somewhere and we're supposed to find them with a clue writtened on the chalkboard on 4th floor. haa. childish u may think. but i thought it reminds me of my childhood memories.
hall has a lot of guys. by the way, im in block c. and as usual, camp is always scandalous for me. chong boon. philip. pia leong. huawei. etc. and im not spared in this hall camp either!
well, i merely said that they are good looking. in fact, that's about it. anyway, angela thinks that im dumb. thanks.
lectures gona start on monday! and im totally not prepared. this time round, there isnt any feeling of "school's begin!". and definitely u have no teachers in school to lead you to your lt. hahaa. im both anxious and nervous.
going down to padang later to support rag! yea man. i really think sheares will win this time! our float and dance looks fabulously pretty! and if you look carefully at the float, every bits and pieces are folded/painted/cut/tear and then stick on. well, i helped a bit larh. i really appreciate the committee's effort and passion for rag, but, im old bird already man. i cannot cannot and dont know how to commit myself into such big events again. they give me goosebumps! hate it simply.
i love reading! i love running! but i dont think i have the time for them in hall. haii. that's sad. and my poor david baldacci has been sitting on my table for the past week w/o me touching it. oh man.
bless all my beloved ones.

sheares hall

a one week orientation camp has just come to an end. or should i say, its only the beginning of my new life in university.
honestly, i cant believe that i can endure through this camp! the duration, and the fact that ive no one that i know in the camp makes me feel pretty much like a "shit".
of course, there are plenty of moments where i was cursing and swearing at myself. those times where i felt tortured. felt cheated. felt stupid. nevertheless, flashbacks on previous camps that ive attended made me felt even worse at that instant. well, i simply hate to orientate. especially as a freshman.
on the other hand, i am really fortunate to be blessed with a few friendly affable jovial hostel mates and faculty mates. they have inevitably become my pillar of support. encouraging me to persevere. i wont deny that there were times where my face was as 'black' as bao qing tian. i tried to lie to my subconsciousness that i can relax and enjoy the camp. however, it all just didnt work at that times. piqued. i almost walked out.
first day of hall life was bad. inability to adapt to the room. but, the following day was good. and now im used to it. of course, i havent forget what happened last week.
came nus with ben and angela. i had a good laugh finally, after so long. thanks for taking the wrong route. thanks for cleaning my room and carrying out bunk inspection. thanks for the subway lunch. thanks for all the jokes, and the accompany. im sure gona miss it somehow.
just did quite a lot for rag and flag. hopefully we'll win the war this time! finished with bidding of modules for sem1. yeah! off to my bunk bed. ha.
