Hey. This journal be unlocked. If you're curious, I'm Sim Hong, I like video games a lot, and I also love track. Interests are on the profile page and everything, and yeah. Haha, but hey, comment to friend me if you'd like!

Okay, so this is really late, but.


Original name, I know. Umm, you can add me there, if you like.. Oh, and feel free to defriend this journal. I won't be on anymore, I guess.

Hehe last meme ever for this journal:

【THE TIME CAPSULE MEME】

COALs is over.

I think I have COALs withdrawal syndrome.

So you know how I was all freaking out and being depressed about COALs coming, right? Now.. I just wished it didn't end so quickly. They say you never know how great the things you have are until you lose it, and I think I understand where that comes from now. COALs has honestly taught me a lot of things, and I think these things will probably stay with me forever.

( Long story )

Conclusion. I guess COALs has really made me grow up in some ways. I think I've become just a little more independant, and a little less afraid of heights. It's taught me not to give up, I guess. Cliche as it sounds, I think COALs has really achieved all of that. It's really a leadership camp. It's not easy to commit to. There's a lot of work to be done, and it takes a lot of time. COALs is a really bittersweet journey. There were many times I just wanted to quit. What really made me not quit was the fact that everyone thinks I can never finish what I've started, which is really true from ever since I was really young. I've always left things half done, or completely undone. COALs gives me this.. sense of satisfaction now. That I've actually completed it. That I've proved people wrong in that I cannot finish what I've started.

I really love Indigo and my instructors. There's just this bond between us that formed during COALs. We weren't very bonded during BTC, admittedly, but COALs just completely brought the entire Indigo together. We learnt how much our instructors cared for us. We regretted the fact that we always disappointed them. And through it all, our instructors never gave up on us. So little instructors, and they organised a camp for 100 campers. It's not easy. I thought the commitment of being a camper was a lot, but I only truly realised how pathetic my commitment was compared to the instructors on the second day. It's truly admirable.

I can't wait to go out for lunch with Indigo and the instructors, heh. Picnic!

LIFE IS HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA GOOOD GOOOOOOD GOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD

I AM GOING TO PLAY THE HELL OUT OF MYSELF


... Until Sec 3 starts in January then it's hell mugging again. OHWELLZ

Everything was okay, and yeah! Had a really close shave with Geog hahaha ohmygah I am so dumb. I did 3 essays because I saw a 3-mark question as the 8-mark question BUT LUCKILY I MANAGED TO FINISH THE PAPER SO OH WELL NO HARM DONE! History was good good Literature was good because theme of love was being awesome Science SUCKED guhhh the balancing equations was HORRENDOUS and the light rays.. bleh. Maths WAS SO MUCH EASIER THAN EXPECTED! I ALMOST CRIED TEARS OF JOY WHEN I SAW THE PAPER HAHAHA. Okay so paper 2 wasn't that easy BUT WAY EASIER THAN MOCK PAPER. 

Luckily none of our papers were as tough as the Sec 3 A-Math paper, I heard the triple science kids cried after finishing it. And Mr Eng was so happy about it..

A: Mr Eng, I'm gonna fail my a-math paper!
Ewk: No lah.
A: No seriously!
Ewk: No.. You failing is an understatement. You're going to fail VERY HORRIBLY.

HAHAHA MEAN MUCH OKAY I'M GOING TO GO EAT FRUITS AND PLAY DISSIDIA WOOOOOHOOOOOO

Two days to EOYs and I can safely say I've been studying..


Well, for the most part. I've also been spazzing (AGAIN) about Dissidia 012 Duodecim. SIIIIIGH.

But hey, it's not that bad! I can, at least, read off the reasons of why Singapore wanted a merger with Malaysia and why they separated in less than two years off the top of my head. And also the solutions to Singapore's land constraint problem (high density buildings, mixed land use and land reclamation!!! I remember!!!) plus the input-output thingy for oil palm plantations, wet rice cultivation and shifting cultivation.. And I've finished compiling my notes on the theme of ~LOVE~ in Twelfth Night by Shakespeare for Literature. Though I haven't finished memorising it yet. Oh, and doing Math everyday, and a bit of Science here and there..

Bah, too be honest, there's still a lot to do. Somehow this thing has become my to-do list. In any case, I skipped school today to study, and it was a major success, though I heard from Deb that Ewk's a little pissed. Pfft.

Oh, and apparently everyone who got nominated got in for COALS. So I was really happy when I heard this news, UNTIL.. I realised COALS isn't as bouncy-bouncy-hyper-outdoorsy fun as I thought it was. IT'S LIKE A FRIGGIN MILITARY CAMP!!!! We're split into groups (kinda like platoons, no?!) and there are A LOT, AND I MEAN A LOT, OF GROUND RULES. For a camp. Like, for example, we can't talk to our instructors informally, like, no smiley faces in texts or emails, and everytime we talk to them we have to say 'Instructor" before their names. Okay, so maybe this isn't new for some of you but.. this is kind of torture for me. ;___; We don't ever have this level of discipline in Track, it's kind of hard for me to adapt. The uniform group people were all like, "Oh, that's easy!" And my track and field teammates and me were all, "OH HELLL NOOOO!" The best thing? My first instructor IC is one of my track&field seniors. And also my fellow TLC leader. So I'm kind of used to being informal to her since we've worked together a lot but... BUT. I can't be informal. MEH. At least I didn't get my cheer scandal or my closer seniors as instructors.

Hahah, my group also probably got the weirdest name out of the lot. There's Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Falcon, Gryphon, and Indigo. I'm in Indigo. Okay, so it's not as weird as like, Charlie or Echo, but my Indigo teammate doesn't like our group name. D: I THINK IT'S PRETTY COOL THOUGH, YKNOW, LIKE INDIGO PLATEAU? YEAH BABY ELITE FOUR. Okay apart from that, we've decided that we're gonna standardise our COALS shirts and notebooks, 'cause we're cool like that. Can't wait to get my COALS shirt, it's awesome! I am kind of dreading, however, the Basic Training Camp. There's a whole lot of stuff to be packed. Sigh.

I love how happy I can be at home now. In school, everything just drains me out. It used to be the reverse, but right now school is really draining me out. It's not the exams, it's the class. I would have thought that since it's already our last year together, we would all be nicer to each other, but. I guess I was wrong, so.. oh well. My senior calls me crazy, but I still hold on to the fact that I cannot wait for Secondary 3. I hate to say this, but my class.. I've kind of lost all hope in it.

Hate to end this entry so depressingly, but Choy just called me and she's so distracting. Crazy girl.

Oh, and happy birthday breyzyyin !!

- So apparently my humans and math and science exams don't start till a week later or so SOOOO I can relax (yeahhh rightt) for a bit. Been so strained these days, I don't know what's been happening to me anymore. Also kind of sort of failed Higher Chinese, but CT gave me a chance. Kind of. I was really rude to her the other day though (ON ACCIDENT, I SWEAR). Since my classmates and I call her by her full name (CHEN TING!), I totally forgot all about it when I wanted to ask her something and I just went, "Eh, Chen Ting!" After that it was kind of like "..." and the rest of my classmates burst out laughing while I apologized to her. WELL.. I FORGOT.

- I REALLY REALLY WANNA GO FOR COALS. Everybody says you'll most probably get selected if you're nominated but woah there's really a lot of people nominated this year. I'll admit, I'm scared of high elements, and these outdoor camps generally give me an 'ew' feel, but COALS IS FUN. Methinks.

- Dissidia Duodecim is coming out oh my gah I'm really excited. Screw Lightning or Kain (sorreh), BUT THERE'S TIFA. A real close combat fighter! Best, I tell ya.

- I'm supposedly saving up for Birth By Sleep now, but today Vanessa and Minger dragged me to EAST COAST to eat ice cream. I know, I know. Crazily far. But it was worth it. Ice cream was great, hour long bus ride home gave me time to think and clear things over.

- Bwah.

- On a heavier note, my class is in pieces. Everybody's backstabbing each other, I have no idea who's going to hurt who tomorrow, and yeaaaaah. All these coming from a girls' school, why am I not surprised? Not like the others are any better. I feel like punching a certain someone on a daily basis.

-BWAH FORGET ITTTTT. Oh and Charlie St. Cloud is a great book. Just.. saying.

Woo 11:39pm better head off to bed, see ya around guys!

I promise not to say things like “I can’t do it..” anymore.

Fuck it all, I’m not going to stop myself from doing things anymore. Why do I always put myself down when everyone else says I can do it? I’m not going to be scared anymore. I’m going to ace my exams. I’m going to do well for track. I’m going to do my best for everything.

Finally, I’m going to have no regrets.

____________________________

Yep, end-of-years start in approximately 1 hours and 12 minutes as of this post. Sorry for not being around much, I've been studying and everything, and the only websites I ever visit are facebook and hotmail. Anyway, I'm still going to be on hiatus.. for around two more weeks. Then everything's going to be okay.

I've been thinking about games so much lately (funny how when exams roll around, I start thinking about games more and more..) so yeah, there's a lot of things I want to buy! Okay I'm not going to talk about it. Distracting!

Basically.. I probably won't be replying to comments much (hahah what's new.. BUT..!) because after this post, I'm going to have my mom put my laptop on lockdown. It's just too distracting. Way too distracting.

Okay, so this post is kind of jumpy.. my mind's all over the place right now, and I'm having a nervous breakdown of some sort, because I really can't afford to do badly for end-of-years. Played too much, and yeah.. I really want to do well this time. Really really. CCA's kind of on the line here.. my mom says if I don't do well for this exam, she's well. She's not going to let me go for Track three times a week anymore? I don't really get her point.. but she says since it's Secondary Three next year I should be studying more than worrying about anything else. Going by her, I should be studying 24/7 and not do anything else since four years for secondary school is really too short, huh? I can understand her being overly anxious about this, but she should understand that I have a life. Compromise, right?

Sorry about the rant. It's just.. meh.

So anyway, to everyone out there about to have end-of-years, O's, A's, finals, what-have-you.. good luck. WE'LL PULL THROUGH.

Today. It was our big day today. Ole cheer’s big day. Performing in front of the crowd for Teachers’ Day. And if I had any doubts before, their all gone now. This, is the best experience I’ve ever had, apart from Nats. I love how scandalous be are. I love how slack we can be sometimes. Above all, I love the people.

Remember how initially we were the latest to start practice? Everyone else started cheer prac during June hols. We started after June hols. Not only that, our routine was messy and just.. weird. Winning the cheer competition seemed just impossible. And of course, our first audition was screwed up.

We started practicing harder. Second audition gave us hope. From the cheer team with the lowest points, we suddenly jumped to first place. Of course there were more disagreements, changes and everything, but somehow we just got through. Remember the day before Sports Day? There was a huge disagreements. Everybody felt like shit. Everybody was pissed. But we got through that, too.

Standing on the stage today and performing with the cheer team was just.. completely awesome. And those are scarce words for such an experience. I may not have had the biggest, flashiest role, but it was cool just to be part of the team, you know? It didn’t matter how big the role was, just being up there was the best part.

I don’t think we ever really thought of winning. Sure, most of us were like.. “Hey, getting a medal would be nice.” But what all of us only wanted was just.. to have fun. What kind of cheer team laughs on stage during their performance? Ole does. And we don’t regret a single bit. Joining Ole cheer wasn’t about winning, it was all about having fun. And I’m sure I had one of the best times of my life up there.

And we’ve done it. Just by having fun, practicing AND playing hard, our hard work’s payed off. 10 years record, baby! We broke it! Ole cheer, champions of interhouse cheerleading 2010. <3

I’ll miss practices and everything. I really will.

 

WHY DID THEY NOT TAKE THE POP!!!! IT WAS SO HIGH!!

It's the last week of Term 3! FINAL EXAMS ARE COMING SOOON NOOOO.

So my math apparently sucks (what's new!) but I really really want to buck up. And I have to. My Chinese is dropping like a rock, I swear. I remember how an A* in Chinese used to be so easy in Primary school and now it's almost like I can barely scrape a pass. And a lot of people has been asking me what subject combination I want to take, but the thing is.. I DON'T KNOW! Which sucks. Was kinda sure of everything until June, you know?

A lot of things have been going on last week. After that bout of HMFD, school just killed me because I didn't have a single idea what was going on. Twelfth Night play was awesome, though I screwed up the end (I TRIPPED ON THE STAGE AHHHHH!!!!!!), and um.. practically nothing else was awesome. Other things have been quite tiring though. There's been time trials, reaction trials, jump trials, hurdles trials and whatnot at track, and we've been having fart leks (hahaha funniest name ever BUT I HATE THEM!) and yeahhhh. There's a light test tomorrow and I haven't studied for it yet. Cmon self, final exams are in 4 weeks, please stop procrastinating. You can't afford to screw up this year.

There's been some tensions in class and.. just about everywhere else lately, and things aren't looking so good, but. Yeaaah. I'll get through. Cheer started again, our performance is on Tuesday holy shit! Which is Teachers' Day. Looking forward to going back to Pei Chun!

AND OH MY GAH YOG. YOG WAS THE AWESOME SHIZZ I TELL YOU. I'm still sad it's over, and I think I'm suffering from YOG withdrawal symptoms. Went to watch athletics (SPAIN POLEVAULTER!!!) and soccer and both was awesome! Regret not having gone for badminton and gymnastics though. Will spazz more but it's 12.33 am now, I should be heading to bed! Niiiights gaizzz


Hey, tell me what's been up in your lives lately!

Hey guys from the pokefriending meme!

Anyway short post and I'm sorry for not replying to your comments last post, haven't been feeling well. It's much better now though! BUT MY MOM STILL REFUSES TO LET ME EAT CHEESE.
