march hols

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRL. BON ANNIVERSAIRE!!!

finally march holidays is here! the busy pace of jc life robbed me of precious sleep the past few weeks, with me walking around like a zombie...

and tada! i finally caught up with my lack of sleep! now im refreshed and almost ready to chiong again.

hmm i had jap club camp last last week, it was quite ok. i found out that my scream sounded really beautiful. ok that's T.T but it's true ok! i nv really got to hear my scream b4 ok!

council interview was quite ok, though i don't think i'll get through. i don't really mind if i don't get into council alrd lah, bcos im having quite a lot of fun in the ccas im in now, and i don't want to give up any of them...

i found out that njc council interviews are WAY WORSE, with a panel of 10 shooting and attacking you, trying to wear down your defences and see how you would manage the stress and to see your true character. they even asked some of them to do cheers, or sing the school song! or they put the chair far far away in a corner to see how you would react when u come in, or purposely put the chair facing the back etc. super scary lah.

they still have to go through some elect's camp, where they say if u survive it, u can survive anything alrd. it's to be mentally, emotionally, and physically draining. heh.

our council interview was like just 2 ppl, one person asking and the other furiously taking down your responses. it was pretty ok and the atmosphere wasn't tense or anything. my interviewer was the bb house captain! she's very nice and smiling all the time. i still like our council better. ^^

oh yeah jap club end of term 1 celebrations have finally come to a close. it was successful, and i want to thank the rest of the committee for your efforts in making this a fun and enjoyable celebration! i made new friends, learnt new things about you all and i had great fun, even during the down periods of tests and busyness, and even when we just couldn't meet up. jap cluc committee <333!

i had flag day ytd, and i earned a lot got a lot of ppl to donate! it was super tiring though, i was on my feet for over 7 and a half hours, bcos i took the full shift from 9am to 5pm, and i totally nv sit at all. it's unbelievable that i didn't realise how tired i was until like towards the end. just couldn't take it le.

but i learnt that rj ppl are really rich, like most of them donated all their change, over a dollar plus oso donate. then some of them just donated 2 dollar notes! and there was this prc guy who was blur blur asking me how much he needs to donate, then i told him any amount is fine, so he opened his wallet, took out the smallest note he had and asked, 这样够不够? i was like O.O it's a FIVE DOLLAR NOTE. obviously i said 不够要捐十块才够 eh actually i said nothing. i looked at the note, stunned, and just looked at him and said thank you!!!!

just shows how rich some ppl are, or more like how they are so willing and able to donate.

the most i got was $10! from this businessman guy, and i got another $10 from a smoking guy. i was super amazed both times. yiy ang got $10 from this woman who got off the bus! haha i realised that singaporeans have become more willing to donate from 2 years ago when i last did flag day. last time ppl tended to give 10 or 20 cents, but this time ppl tended to give 50 cents or 1 dollar. some ppl simply emptied all their change!

at the end of the day, i reaped great rewards for my active soliciting of donations: two full tins! i almost dieded by the weight of carrying the heavy tin constantly, nv once putting it down ok! now my arms are aching, but nvm it was good training for ipu =P

next sat im doing flag day again T.T (don't ask. my class cip rep asked us so we signed up. bleh) and i think i shall go to different places this time. and i shall just stand there and stone and see how much i can get from doing that. then compare! heh this is called social experiment (:

next up it's astrigue challenge! it's to be this coming tues and wed, so im looking forward to it. let's make it fun k? may success be with us!

plus good luck to you poor j2s out there mugging your brains out for CTs.

plus i just realised ct can stand for so many things, like civics tutorial, civics teacher, common tests, chinatown (ok this is random ^^")
