its been an eventful week..i'm actually really enjoying myself in this new environment. i think i've been making an effort to talk to people in class whom i wouldn't find myself normally associating with, and its really God helping me to have the courage and the motivation to talk to these people.

JC is like really new environment...there're like no uniform groups, its either clubs or sports or musical groups so everyone is in a scramble to join sports(usually). i wonder if the motive of everyone in joining so many CCAs is really for the points. i think this whole 1st 3 month thing is really quite weird..people just join for CCAs for fun and then quit for fun because the 1st 3 months is for fun. something along that line. nothing really is taken seriously.

that goes for me too...i can't join soccer by principle because if i do i'd have to quit gym and whatever else i have..and its not something i want!!!!! i like gym. but nevertheless we went for training today and i think it was quite slack. we did some passing drills and then this drill in which u dribble into an enclosed square surrounded by 4 cones then u quickly dart out and pass it to someone else. thereafter we played matches..the teams were jc1 team A, jc1 team B, jc2 team. so we just played against each other, and it was pretty fun.

then we had some dance practice so me and david walked back to RJC(the soccer thingy was in bishan park :( ) where we had a short orientation session where we ate ice cream and brownies then we did a short self intro. after that we split up. the guys had a choreographer over to teach us our steps for the dance night item. the girls were to audition for their dances...

oh yeh, a jc2 girl called bernice from dance lives in farrer court TOO!!!!!!! block F. im block G. how cool is that.

oh well...tomorrow im really excited because keith and patricia are coming to my church. whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

looking at the past week....i think im quite happy because i have made an effort to talk to people i normally do not associate with! especially those in my class! and i *think* i have become more enthu............i think........and im also quite happy because i have been disciplined enough to do my homework and pay attention during lectures!

but there's still room for improvement...this week i've been especially snappy to my parents, cuz i dont really find a need to tell them wehre i'm going and what time im going home, and what activities i have. haaaaaaaiiiii on one hand i felt i've grown up..........on the other i haven't.......hahaha. eugene once gave me an analogy about this whole issue. when i play warcraft, every unit is important. i, as the commander of the whole army, do not want to let ANY unit die...so its important to know where every unit is and whether it has red life and needs healing. so my parents are supposedly the commander, and i am supposedly a unit...i think it makes some sort of sense. hahah.

oh yes...i have to be really disciplined now. our GP teacher told us to really read the newspaper everyday. i dont like doing that!!!!!!! and also, mr low the soccer coach says that on sundays your supposed to do a 45 minute run yourself. 45 minutes!!! thats maddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. and by yourself!!! so boringgg.

thank God for this wonderful weeekk!
