My finger has stopped swelling up and the swelling has actually started to subside. Thank God!

However, I still cannot go for the camp :( due to the fact that the joint on my finger is still freaking weak due to the sprain and I seriously don't want to go for camp and dislocate my finger there.

That will suck. Period.

I still can't bend my finger without feeling pain (it also is kinda stiff and not responsive to me), so this blog post is still typed with 9 fingers instead of the normal 10.

A Whole New World

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

JC life is a whole new world to me. I'm gonna go along for the ride and see where it takes me. Perhaps to a whole new, wondrous place.

A little reminder

Remember in the previous post I mentioned something about a spastic SPA? Well, it turns out that I didn't do as badly as I had imagined.

Well, today was the last day of Term 1 of my JC life. How quickly time has flown and how much time I have wasted.

I was keen to work hard, motivated by the makeup of my current class. Keeping that up for a few weeks seemed manageable at first, until I succumbed to temptations of relaxation and basically slacking.

I have back-slided. I have not completed or fulfilled any of the goals I had set out for myself, academic or not. I have failed thus far.

It is fitting that this post serves as a reminder to me as I type it out that the final goal of my academic life in RI(JC) is not as far as I might like to believe. I said so myself during Econs class today.

This is a reminder to me to stop slacking and start working. They say that life is not just about academics, but I beg to differ now. I am a student, a occupation that can be found on many of the internet drop-down lists during registrations. It is a duty, a burden but burdens only make one stronger.

I am in no way on par with anyone in my class. I can be considered one of the weakest relatively and thus am in no position to procrastinate, slack or waste my time away.

I need to start working harder, smarter, faster. I need to stop whatever I am doing wrong and start doing things the right way. I need to stop failing in my self-discipline, stop failing to control my urges to watch videos or surf websites online.

I have a potential to fulfil. I cannot let the people who have expectations in me down. I cannot fail my own self-pride.

I cannot fail myself anymore.

This may perhaps be one of the last posts on this blog for a long, long time. Should there be an update in the near future, it will be one of necessity, or I may have changed my mind and decided that time is not wasted here... let's see how it goes.

Until next time, this blog and blogger bids adieu to the blogosphere.

Just an entry; nothing else

My class is so damn funny!

Mrs. Lim (PW teacher): Chester, next week you write ah?
Nigel: Huh? He write? Then who read?

Then after class, we just stood around to listen to Aaron's "interesting" facts (and of course these facts would have to include stuff that one might consider taboo discussing in a co-ed environment.) Just everyone, crowding around one table, laughing like crazy.

I quote:

Sarah: Like when you watch on TV, doesn't everyone groan?

Hint: (Think sick..) Sarah, you win. Period.

Thanks guys. My life seems more colourful in this class :)

Music Fest

Wow, two posts in one day. :)

Yesterday was the first day that I spent in school till 8pm in the night for this year. And I must say that it was almost worth it!

Music Fest 2009 brought together the houses for a night of fantastic music, albeit for competition, but still, it was a great experience.

Good job to MR for achieving 3rd position, but I still think that you guys sounded better during rehearsal yesterday. But no worries, you guys have done your best and that's what counts!

My key gripe about Music Fest was (drumroll please...) how BB managed to win!!! They had instruments such as the electric guitar that was completely out of place (i.e. was totally not sounding right with the rest of the instruments), had an "instrument" called a beatboxer (which once again did not fit in and sounded quite shabby) and overall just was not as good as perhaps MT.

Haiz. No idea why.

Words fail me

Totally not in a bad way. I just have no idea what I want to label this post, so that's just to fill up the otherwise empty title.

To the one person who read the previous post and asked me how I was, thank you very much. Got over my sadness, but the pain somehow still remains deeply ingrained in my heart.

Well, on to happier things!

For one, I LOVE MY NEW CLASS!!! 10S03O is seriously FTW! Never said this about my other classes (I apologise to anyone who reads this and was from my previous classes) but I think that this is one class that I am going to enjoy my two years with.

Which other class goes roofing just for the fun of it? We must be the only class which actually bothered to explore our school to that extent. Sadly it rained before we managed to find a way to the roof of the C block on Monday.

Hmmm, thinking about it, this post should end somewhere around here. Anymore writing for me and it will become an incoherent rambling due to my sleepiness... And look, it's only 9pm. Something's wrong with me :)

Stay happy all!
