Thursday, December 29, 2005

Thx everyone for the birthday wishes, and also the Fitness club members for celebrating it yesterday. Forgot to post it in last night's entry, 'cos it's kinda hard timing to remember... Here's the real news: Doctor says 3months to live, nurse says "No Lah!!". Who to believe? Your guess is as good as mine, but of course i'm hoping for the best.

Year 2005... I had only 1 word for this year: rollercoaster. There are so many ups and downs that I'm getting dizzy and feeling nausea, as well as exhausted. Let's recap on some of the highlights for this year, BranDon....

Starts this year by spending the 1st 3 months in CJC, my mom always says i shouldn't be there, why? I'll disclose 1 surprising fact about me: i had 2 prelims in MSHS, with prelim2 having a heavier weightage. I scored well for prelim2, but overall my L1R5 is still 21. Did i flunk my prelim1? No, i didnt. In fact i did not too badly, then why i still ended up in CJ? Because i foolishly let my friend copy my answers during the exams, not 1 or 2 papers, but 3 of my best subjects, Amaths Emaths and Chem. As the result, 3 F9s for my 3 best subjects. Shocking, eh? I don't have the face of a cheater but have the brains stupid enough to let my friend copy my works. This is one of the few actions i still regret up to this day. However, i will never regret my 3months at CJ. In fact, it was the happiest time so far in my life outside home. 1T37, a class i will never forget, 'cos the bonds between us is so strong, we were almost like family. Then came O'levels. Man, initially i thought i would get like 11 or 12 then i would stay in CJ but huh?! i got 9 points!!

I can never forget the feeling of that day; it cannot be described in words alone, because in my whole life i've never been a winner. By getting 9points I became the top few in my class as well as making my family proud among the relatives. I remembered I was choked with tears of joy when SMSes from both relatives and CJ friends poured in, congratulating me. 1 side-effect: i won't be able to stay in CJ anymore. This is the disadvantage of getting between 9 - 11 points; it can't get u to a top 5 JC, but it's too good to enter the lousier JCs. Hence after much lingering, i bid farewell to my CJ friends and ended up in SAJC.

The orientation really sucked; where got JC give 1 OG a tin of biscuits for lunch throughout the orientation programme?? Where got JC ask the J1s to do PT at the start of the orientation?? Their mass dance sucked too, CJ's the BEST man, cool and easy to learn. I was very disappointed with SA's orientation, fullstop. My first few days in SA wasn't really smooth, partly i was quite shy and also the surfacing of cracks within the family.

I joined Saints' Fitness, 'cos firstly i wanna be fit, and secondly Fitness clubs in other JCs are quite fun. SF?? Quite the contray, it is 1 of the most demanding CCAs i've ever met. To say the truth, the activities we went through in the June Leadership Camp were quite ok, but it was carried out quite... meaninglessly? That camp was also where i started my hatred to the TIC of this CCA.

Fast forward to the passing out ceremony for the seniors. i remembered we were a bunch of ultra low-moraled J1s struggling to come in terms of the expectations weighed on us. I mean, wth, it was so totally different to what we expected, why? Because of one man's belief, that SF should be a service CCA to the school and we have to 'donate our services' to every student in SA. That included gym duties, which ok all Fitness clubs in JCs do, and camps needlessly planned for people who didn't want to go. This is one fucked up thing i don't like. 1 or 2 camps, ok, but NINE CAMPS?! Bloody hell, i mailto:!@#$%^&*()(*&^%$ then you know, CB... We rebeled the morning after the passing out ceremony, the he cried in front of us while giving thanks to God at dismissal time -_-

Oh ya this year i'm more exposed to newer experiences, for example DoTa!! But i'm quitting soon after a few months of frenzy playing and that i am not pro, keep losing and hate the feeling of losing.Hehe, A'levels coming in about a few months' time and i still not up to gear yet.

2005 is a year containing both high jubilations as well as all-time low depression periods. Nice O'level scores, a bunch of wonderful friends in CJ, a class that has the potential to be the best *get my hint?* , promoted to J2s, wonderful Science teachers in CJ and SA. Then came the farewell day in CJ, family problems, 2nd successive loss in SJ competition, Fitness club sux but the members rox so-why-it-sux-izit-the-TIC, stress from studies, a relationship that ended before it even started was the biggest heartbreak, the threatening situation of family breaking up under pressure, suicidal thoughts in November, the wastage of holidays due to f---ing Fitness...

To my family,
i know i hasn't been a good son by being so occupied by 2 CCAs and the sense of rebellion, but i promise next year 2006 i will study hard as well as contributing alot more than this year. I want no rewards, except for PEACE in my family...

To 1T37,
although we might not be keeping in contact with each other as much now, it will be lesser during next year, but man you all are 1 hell of a bunch that i will never forget you all in my whole life. And to her, i'm sorry if i've hurt u, it ended 'cos i'm useless and i dont want to weigh u down with my problems. i hope u can understand and i tink i hasnt given up yet...

To S72,
Man, we really need more class outings! sorry if i've been vv quiet and low-profile in class but i think next year we will mature and bond better. Just have more class outings, ok??

To all my fellow Fitness kakis,
u all are truly wonderful!! i feel more at home compared to my class!! but that will change, 'cos my class WILL improve! but for this year, thx for the support u all hav given me and don't worry, i'll still be the BRA and the ultimate LAMER in this CCA. Thx for the birthday celebrations!! but i still feel like quitting hahaha =P

To my Marist frenz still keeping in contact with,
haha elton reminded me abt u all!! don't fret, you all didnt appear here 'cos you guys (no girls) are so important words cannot be described!! thanks for fulfiling the ten years i had in MSH, you all rawks!!! though we now are in separate ways, the Marist spirit shall never fall!

well, this will be my 2nd last post for this year, ultra long eh? Take care and thank (your name) for reading this...
