.Never Forget.

We are part of the world.

We are part of a family.

We are part of history.

Never forget.

SUSPENSE.

(Happy chinese new year of the tiger, everyone!)

Hey all! I know that I've been kind of dead to the online world and all by just lurking around facebook and MSN, but this blogpost shall stand as my proof that I have not completely lost my English communication skills to the wrathful jaws of Singlish, despite the many, many spelling errors that may crop up in my convos. I apologise for only posting rather short and garbled posts for this month or so, but life moves on, and if I don't pick up the pace I'm afraid that I'll miss it. Lets just leave that as my feeble and pathetic excuse for not blogging for a while. Until I come up with a better one.

To everyone on my tagboard; thank you for the congratulations! I'm really very proud that I have finally gotten my blackbelt after failing the blackbelt grading for approximately one year. My coach never gave up on me, my parents never gave up on me (and continued to fork out the grading fee despite the repeated failures), you guys never gave up on me and my class never gave up on me, even though I very nearly gave up on myself. So thank you everyone for your support, and I promise to live up to my title as a official taekwondo blackbelt and continue to strive, and to honour the Taekwondo code by using my skills to protect, and not to harm. Hooray human weapon status!

Anyway, life has been hectic. I survived orientation, have gotten my preferred subject combination and have been integrated into class 10S11 without much problem. I'm still a bit lonely during lectures because I don't really have anyone to spazz with, but I guess that's okay, because it forces me to pay attention. You will not believe how much I miss the people in SC. Its so quiet now...

Besides the temporary silence during lectures, the rest of my JC life has been very, very noisy. I have unwittingly signed up to partake in a pre-U seminar to discuss and present current affairs with other JCs in June (although I have only gone for the interview; they will let me know the results next week.), gone to try and get in the Youth Ambassadors (YA) for this year's YOG as a CCA through an interview today and have half-heartedly promised the photography club that I will try to join. Apparently our seniors have been bringing their JC photog friends touring around our school, and they somehow know and remember my name. It brings great guilt upon my consciousness because they really want me in. Well, I guess if I can't get into YA, photog will always be an awesome 2nd choice. SUSPENSE AS I AWAIT MY INTERVIEW RESULTS.

Hurr. I should start cracking on my chemistry homework soon. The interwebs is really a very distracting place.

must...
stop...
