The month of camps

`A new beginning`

It's July folks!

For JC students, it's the dreaded month of Common Tests/Mid Years etc and for secondary school students and below.. To be honest I can't remember what we did in the month of July. It is officially the start of the next half of year 2013 and soon enough, it would be National Day and Teachers' Day, Children's Day,..Christmas etc.

For uni students, July would be the month of Orientation Camps. The camps which will mark the start of your university lives and get you to meet people from all walks of life. I'm not saying you should join as many camps as possible (though it would possibly do you a reasonable amount of benefits), but there is always no harm joining at least one, especially the faculty camp. Get to know seniors, fun people, people whom you will hang out with the rest of your uni lives and maybe your soul mate? ;)

Orientation camps would be the only chance for you to have proper fun. I assure you once the school term starts, you will miss the fun you've had spent during the various camps you'd joined. No doubt as seniors you can always join in the fun for the following year's camp and get the sense of accomplishment when you make the freshmen feel as welcomed as you did the previous year.

Reminisce`

An attempt to keep this blog alive

Sorry to whoever out there who thinks my blog is childish, immature or even utterly unintelligible. I understand the headache you may get whenever you try to read. You may get woozy from the background I have, or maybe it's just me.

Sorry but do understand that I have no intentions to change the layout of my blog since it has been this way as long as I could remember. This blog is more of a keepsake, I would say, of foolish and silly lower secondary days for my friends and I to laugh about. Undeniably, lower secondary days in Hua Yi Secondary School were the best days for me. All the friends, teachers, drama, jokes, bonding, class parties and unbeatable unity we had as a class. Those were the times.

Not that my life sucks now, it still is good. Good, but not as great as what I had experienced in the past. Of course, how can the kind of fun I get now be compared to the kind of fun we had shared in lower secondary?

I told myself, and all the readers of this blog (if any) that I wouldn't be updating anymore.

Despite all the laziness to maintain this blog, I shall do an impromptu post. To be honest, I have lost touch on writing a proper blog post. My language ability isn't as strong as it used to be too. As if it was that strong in the past LOL.

So what are blogs supposed to express? What is the true purpose of it? I shall keep it simple and do it like what I had been doing in the past childish ways; keeping a blog as a record of daily activities and happenings - except, no more photos, images, colourful fonts and irregular font sizes.

Examinations for me and most of my counterparts ended around a week ago. Throughout the 3 weeks worth of mundane, non-stop studying, my mind had been wandering off to what and how I would spend the 3 month summer vacation. This long summer vacation has been the only thing I have ever been thinking about. I imagined the last day as the day I would finally scream my lungs out, dash out of the exam hall and laugh my heart out (metaphorically).

Indeed, things happen. My grandfather got hospitalised while I was staying overnight to study in school with Ee Ping. I didn't think of that as much of a great deal because he had always been a healthy granddad. He remained hospitalised throughout my 3 papers which took place within 2 consecutive days.

On Wednesday night when I finished my evening paper, I came home with my dad telling me that my granddad's condition isn't positive and he may not survive through the night. We went to visit him together and we witnessed how normal his blood pressure and heart rate were. We thought he could survive the night but he remained unconscious. My dad and I went home a while later, since I have a last paper 2 days later on a Friday. My mom stayed.

Yes, everything was normal. Blood pressure, heart rate, everything. Little did we expect that that was the last we would see of my grandfather.

I woke up on Thursday morning feeling anxious because I still had a lot to study. I received a text from my aunt which said,"Gong gong passed away this morning at 3:27 AM."

I couldn't believe what I was reading. I swear everything was normal when we visited him on Wednesday night. I tried to stay focus. I still have a last paper to study for.

It was a 5-day long wake. The memory of my relatives and my family being at the crematorium is still fresh in my head. My grandmother is all alone now.

Cherish your loved ones. I know it's cliché and all but I don't want people out there to realise this cliché moment only after someone has passed on.

You'll be missed, Gong gong.

Madness much? 6 different Pchy. Happy 22nd Birthday to my Thai idol :D

Wednesday, April 27, 2011 '

Haha excited much? If I'm not wrong, it's 72 days to the end of the epic finale :( Kind of sad, a really significant part of my childhood is about to end.

Loads of happenings these few weeks, with today as nomination day IN our school, next monday being labour day and the week after next being Elections! So yeah, we will practically be having a 4-days school week for consecutively 4 weeks straight! Wicked ;) But noooo, with all these holiday in due, would mean that we would have to miss loads of Mondays which means.... MAKE UPPPPs!!!! I'd rather have the normal 5-day school week seriously.

Oh and Friday would be Talentime!
