No pain no gain?

Dual track is going to take away all of my social life. Well, dual track is an additional diploma course where you take the course and you study for your A level subs in the same time. In other words, im taking like JC and Poly at the same time. However, the curriculum hours for the core subs will not be compromised. The lessons for Diploma courses will commence on Saturdays and Holidays. There are several courses and i was contemplating between MDIS and Newcastle School of Management the other day. But i wana take up tourism. So i've signed up for the Newcastle. And of course, only Millennia offer the dual track, cuz 2yr JC students cannot afford the time.But i got to sacrifice a lot of time for family, friends and myself. Yes, its not compulsary to take up the courses but i look at it as a fall-back if i really did flung my A. At least i'll have a Diploma to back me up and will not end up with nothing. Dad was very concerned on how well i can cope with school work and the Diploma course. I've assured him that i'll do just fine. So... Seize it! Moreover, the course is effing expensive. Im soo going to do well for it!

Back to school... I cant say im doing very well in school. Because there are a lot of catching ups for me to do. Especially Geog. I did not take Pure Geog in sec sch and thus im losing out. My H2 subs are Management of Biz, Econs, Geog. H1 Maths. Some other core subs are General Paper, Chinese, Project Work. 7 subs in total. Chinese is so horrible. Very chim. And i would not mind taking Chinese B. lol. But my teacher doesn't allow me to appeal cuz i've got A for Chinese. Somehow, reading Chinese characters sting my eyes causing me to back out. I don't recognize the words anymore. Can't even read it fluently. So long as i don't become like Ed will do. =P

I've improved in some areas yea. Im so punctual (or early) for school now and i guess if i were to tell any of my sec sch frens, they're gona laugh till their mouth rot. Its ironic cuz my prev sch was nearby and i could be late so often. As often as 3 days/wk. Now my school's so far away (1.5hr travelling time) yet i could be punctual. Or maybe its just the first 2 weeks or sch? haha. 等着瞧 ！( wait and see!)

I kinda like it there. Everybody is nice, except the PE teachers. Because they're sick, and PE lessons became a terror. I dread it. Very tough physical trainings. Once it starts, the training never ends till the bell rang. I think i can just lose weight like that. There's PE every wednesdays & fridays. Friday's just after tmr. =( As for my CCA, i was very enthu to join Tennis, really put my heart and soul in it already. But i did not make it the 2nd trial. And guess what? Out of the 30 over people, they only want 7 of us. Moreover, I've no experience in Tennis. Im lucky to get thru 1st trial already. But luck wasn't with me all the way. And i failed the 2nd trial thus was eliminated. Anyway, i dislike the attitude of the student coach. She was in charge of feeding us balls. Her poise was..... So arrogant, so wtfyo. Eventually, i was quite glad that i did not make it so i don't have to work with her (i've sorted out my thinking 3 days after the trial, its hard you know!). Coincidently, during the morning assembly on the day of the trial, 1 of the teachers announced that they're looking for experienced band members. They're setting up a Symphonic Band in MI. So now, im all set for band. We're the first batch of players and i hope that things will go well and we'll build the foundation strong. hee. Supposed to have band today but was cancelled. Postponed to Friday. I hope it'll be fun and rewarding. Im soooo looking fwd to it! (:

Today when i walked past the 2nd level, i heard bells playing 'to the summit!' and i was reminiscing the days when i was in band. Really miss the feeling. I wish i could play flute again. At least i know, i enjoy it a lot. Music is still inside me. I know it always will be.

I've so much affinity with aunties today. This morning when i was in the train heading school, i sat beside this old lady. When i was at Bedok, i turned to her and saw her asleep. Not long after, her head kept tilting towards me. I tried to dodge and its so obvious that some people sitting in front of me were looking at me and the auntie. Then as expected, her head touched my left shoulder and she jerked up. The same thing went on for 3 times. Then she decided to lean on the glass to sleep. I swear i'll never lean on the glass anymore. Because i see oily stains left on the surface. Eeww! Then on the way back, this old woman sat beside me. I was reading through my notes. Then her newspaper kept blocking my vision. So pissed! Then i heard her said something. Could not figure out her murmurings. So i ignored. Then i saw her looking at me. But i chose to pretend i did not hear anything cuz i was listening to MP3. Then when the train was leaving Simei, i removed my earpiece and instantly, she asked, "do you want newspapers?" I rejected cuz it was the very same newspaper which blocked my vision when i was reading lecture notes. lol. Moreover, its Chinese. =.= Then she started chatting with me. Ask me which school im from, where i live. Then she told me doesn't like TM cuz she often got lost. She mixed CS and TM together, dono which is which. I think Ed will have something to comment after reading this. -.- It'll add on to more arm smackings. =P

Ok, i shall get down to work now. Tmr's going to be a long long day. Lesson's gona end at 5.25pm tmr. Meetup with Zrystal and Kazer after sch will be something to look fwd to. (:

School's great!
Baby i love you! Weekend dates, love love love!
