alrighty, i shall start from where i left off in my last post.
i am officially a SRJCian now.
i think i'm quite proud of that. (:

okay, so school started last wednesday..
orientation was not worthy to be called orientation.
first 2 days were nothing but subject talks.
my butt died from sitting on the hard floor for more than 3 hours straight.
and it didn't help that the talks were dead boring.
then came the 3rd day.
there were supposedly 'physical activities' organised for us so we had to bring our PE attire.
but turns out that all we did was learn the college cheers, school song and college dance.
i realised that i had taken cedar's tradition of cheering loudly for granted.
because if the 5 cedarians in SRJC had cheered, we easily would've beaten the whole JC1 cohort.
ahhh i miss those days of shouting till my voice was hoarse.
anyway! our OGs existed for the sake of ensuring that we have a place to assemble when we arrive in school.
other than that, the OGs meant absolutely NOTHING.
so you can imagine the disappointment i felt when the facilitator said,
"our orientation has come to the end."
hopefully our class bonding shit during the march holidays will be fun.
if not, if i could swear i'd swear real loud.

so anyway lectures started this week,
and thankfully i have friends to accompany me to the lectures.
made new friends!
i just love my crazy group.
we're like a dysfunctional family luh.
tess, elisa, ona, weixin, nadiah, elle and i!
although they're all not from my OG, but yeah, we can get along so well!
and thank God i've got elle with me in SRJC..
if not i would've died from lonerising (if there's such a term).
pity none of them are taking my subject combination.
speaking of which, i counted and only 11 people are taking my combination!
with 4 people having english names, including me.
so i'm gonna have a really hard time remembering names come next week!
ah damn.

went for canoe training on monday..
did circuit training which was hell.
partly because i hadn't exercised in such a long time,
and also because canoe trainings are just damn tough.
shan't elaborate on how i suffered during training but basically my arms were rendered useless,
and my legs, shoulders and wing muscles are still sore and reeeeally painful.
but nonetheless, i survived.
the canoe team really gets a lot of respect, judging from the number of people who stared at us in awe as we shouted while we worked out.
the team's quite intimidating, actually.
but i suppose its part of their tradition.
to have that don't-mess-with-me attitude when training.
which is good, i suppose. but really a tad intimidating.

so i joined rocmoc training today.
luckily dear alvin was there so i made him get mryong to let us boulder while the rest conquered the high wall.
he's so cute and funny, gawd.
so he was teaching us and supervising us and all..
damn cute lah.
puay was there too! along with stella and sue may.
they're all so nice too.. and sue may let me wear her climbing shoes!
they really make a difference when you climb.
anyway i really enjoyed my time bouldering, although i only went once.
but according to alvin and the rest, i have the build to be a damn good climber, so hopefully i'll eventually be one!
haha gonna get puay to train me :D
i hope i get to know the rocmoc team soon!
they seem like a pretty nice, crazy bunch of people.
mryong's bringing us to yishun safra on friday!
i wanna boulder again. :DD

i don't think i'm gonna be getting a call from ACJC anymore.
but who cares.
if its what God wants for me, i'm totally fine with that.
besides, since ACJC doesn't need me, i don't need her either. (:

went for my first BSF lesson last night!
i'm quite ashamed of my attitude towards it before.
thank God i knew people in my class already, so it wasn't so bad.
and now i'm actually looking forward to next week's session!
thankyou, God!

i'm missing my churchies terribly. ):
all the best for your term exams tomorrow, faith!! xD

i must admit, what i heard that day didn't really surprise me.
i kind of thought that it happened.
i don't know how, but as i was wondering what was it that you wanted to tell me,
that thought crossed my mind.
though i brushed it off, there was still a possibility.
and i was right.
i wanted to cry, but obviously i couldn't.
if i had, it'd all be out.
so i held it all back and listened some more.
though one rouge tear managed to escape, but i stopped the rest from following suite.
i really didn't know what to say, but i'm just glad i was there for you.
and that you felt better after that.
whatever it is, it's good that you're alright now.

okay.
racheltan will do 10 pull-ups unaided by the end of this year.
whoo! :D
