.: What a Roller-Coaster Ride :.

This week was a real long and emotional one! One can say that it has been a long rollar coaster ride! For 08S64, monday was our last day as a class in school! Went to eat at Pepper Lunch at night where we played stupid games and had fun like we always do! But behind all the laughter and joy we had that night, we were (or some of us were) worried about the posting results about to be released in a few hours time. Those 9 pointers and above were worried that we can't get back in.

HOw true it was! This year, VJ's cut-off point for Science decreased yet again. Now, to partial 4. I never expected this. Trying to stay optimistic and positive all along, I was only marginally prepared for this result. Once i saw and confirmed that I was posted into MJC, my whole heart sank and i was freaking sad! After being so rooted and bonded in a new environment, to change is difficult and to change to somewhere that you don't want to go at all is worse. I started to settle all my appeal forms and all and i headed to VJ early in the morning to hand in my appeals and all. It was a mad rush on Tuesday morning - having to settle appeal forms to VJ and TJ. Afternoon was a relaxation period 08S64 had as a class because our entire class went to ECP to cycle and blade and at night, to Cineleisure to eat and chill. The last part of the night when we ahd to like say the messages thing and all was kinda sad and made many of us realize how bonded our class is! and to add an event of anti-climax, my contact lenses suddenly went missing IN my eye and everyone crowded around me and it was both scary and hilarious. Scary because i was desperately trying to find my lenses. Hilarious because my classmates were like shining light from their phones (because we were at a rather dark place) and helpine me! That made me know how close we were as a class too.

The next day, i had to report to MJ. As Mj's orientation starts only next monday, it was all talks and talks about things i already knew except for school details. That made it very boring and hence, halfway through, i cabbed back with Daryl (who wanted to go TJ) and another VJ girl back to VJ. BAck at VJ, i felt at home. The sense of isolation and loneliness i felt in MJ was gone. Went to the band room and than talked to some people. That was definitely EMO-DAY for me because i really looked very sad and disappointed that some of my friends claimed was scary. But that was because i was waiting for that call from VJ which never came till later. I slept in the band room, hanged out in school, went to see Mr Wong a number of times. Anxiety started to build up in me. I was nervous. Throughout the whole band prac, my phone never left me at all as i anxiously awaited that call. But till 6pm when i did not receive it and hearing that even my close friend had received it, i resigned myself to fate - fate has decreed that I do not stay in VJ. So sadly, i left the band room and with dearest mortal, Jessie and Renette (the zhen-me friend) and other J1 friends in band and other J2 friends and seniors in band, my horn section, telling me dont worry and good luck, i felt even sadder because i did not want to leave this group of wonderful bandmates whom i've grown close to over the days! And finally, at night, 8.35pm, i got the call and i was in total shock. i was back in VJ AGAIN! that was a close shave! i had to receive the call at night! and my heart almost came out my mouth when i heard "your appeal is successful". it is then, that i thanked all my friends and told them this good news! Also, getting back to VJ through General Appeal is rather lucky so I'm going to study real hard i guess! so many smart people in VJ! haha

So it was kinda moving from the bottomless pit back up to the highest end in the sky! Lesson Learnt: always treasure every moment of your life because you might lose it anytime!

The new 08S64 had 4 more students added to it. It is some kind of exchange. We lost 4 previously and now gained 4. Welcome guys!

After band practice yesterday, went for lunch and then headed to the beach with some bandmates! suntanned for a while because Olivia and I (gong zhu and wang zi) were kinda drained so we slept and the rest made their tortises and all. haha. then played frisbee and drew VJCSB on the sand. pictures up soon!

YANZHU! RECOVER SOON AND I SHALL SEE THE HAPPY, GIGGLY BAMBOO SOON! :)

okay... that's all for now! tomorrow or rather, later in the day, going out with 2e2 '05 friends! Catch up session again! haha! and reason why i blogged so late at night is because i had to complete some economics essay by tomorrow which i dragged and procrastinated since last week...

PHOTOs are coming up real sooN! :)
