One week of lectures have passed...almost without impact...seemingly signifying the calm b4 the storm... Think it's time to settle down to start studying again for I'm sure JC workload is many times that of sec sch. The lectures went by almost routinely, me jotting down notes now and then while stoning for the rest of the time. 2 weeks ago, I was wishing that there was no orientation, ironically, now, I'm missing orientation when lessons start...

Tuesday was Zongjin's birthday. Went out after sch with him, xl, deng and zj's two other female friends. lol, wondered if he noticed that it was very bright...After lunch at S11, we went Swensens for ice-cream...After that, we went Popular as zj had to get some stuff. Saw a table lamp and the grp of us, excluding zj and the girls, was sort of drawing an analogy btw the lamp and our role in the outing...Sorry zongjin, if u ever blame us for ruining ur birthday. And just a reminder to zj and vin, we seem to owe someone in America a long overdue Christmas and birthday and if we drag longer, CNY present...

Wednesday, went for CO practice. I like the room, it has nice acoustics and the ppl there are all quite zai. The leadership hoo-ha thingy seems almost non-existent, think i can put my mind at ease about joining CO. The quality of music we produced on the first day of prac was pro, think can beat RICO already...So RICO, must work harder for SWF. From wat I've been hearing, RICO doesn't seem to be making progress towards the SWF gold...so ppl, pls buck up...i believe zj has already spoken to u all on this issue...

Friday was OG outing and it's covered in the Zev'feior blog, so go read there. Been blog-hopping just now and will share a few thoughts here. It is amazing to be able to see many perspectives of life through blog-hopping. How a person, whether familiar or strange, is doing and his thoughts and reflection...It is even more wonderful when reading blogs tugs at ur heartstrings, making u share the joy and the pain with the writer itself. I dun knoe about myself, whether this blog is adding to the diversity of perspectives out there, or just a stiff stereotypical journal page that is superficial. Yes, i admit that my innermost thoughts are not out here in the open, I drown them out with words, humour, sacarsm and analogys...But who doesn't treasure privacy? There will always be this fear that if u bare ur thoughts, they will be used against u in reality. And cases of such had happened b4, though not to me, but enough as a deterrent. Words are a double-edged knife, if u are not careful, u might cut urself unintentionally, but....the innocent and carefree side of me that is locked up still believes in sharing thoughts....and so, my innermost thoughts are in this blog, hidden between the lines...
