And the only thing that matters,
Is climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're 16 or 35
If you didn't know, that's from Bowling For Soup's High School Never Ends.
I guess RGS is a very different school in the sense that you don't see so much of the problems the heroes/heroines face in chick flicks. (Where there are these evil cheerleaders and geeks who wear their pants up to their armpits and rebels smoking.) But we face a very different set of problems.
No prizes for guessing what.
I remember that day Irina (I think it was her) said that when you're Sec 3 you just feel like your whole world comes crashing down. And Shze Hui says that sleeping at 1am is very normal. And that answering every question in the Maths paper is Mission Impossible 4. And a whole bunch of other stuff I hear Sec 3s talk about. I feel like I have no right to complain about workload anymore. Can I just stay Sec 2 forever?
Right now I'll just enjoy being a Sec 2 while it lasts.

PSL session was good even though everyone was all mass danced out and I was all gymmed out. Well not really, I only did one complete routine. And the synchronisation was all sala.
It was great today during MGM. We got to talk about problems PSLs face and it's good to know I'm not the only one who has sudden emo attacks. I like MGMs. They're like casual serious discussions. Thankew T & D!
JoHo is afraid of Mas Selamat but I don't think she's in danger cause she's so much taller than him anyways. Oh man I hope they catch him soon and put an end to all this drama. And so I don't have to see his face on posters everywhere I go. It's kinda freaky knowing there's a terrorist on the loose and Singapore ain't that big so you have a pretty high chance of meeting him. Not that it's a bad thing, because then it's easier to catch him. But everyone says he's already outta Singapore. You know, he's actually become like the laughingstock of the nation as well as a threat to the country. Just take a look at Actooby's tagboard.

After MGM I went to eat ramen with Pris Chew and Jenny and Irina and we had a long conversation over lunch. Not boring but sane and interesting. Long and normal discussions are good. Random lame discussions get too lame after a while.
Example of a random and lame discussion:
A: Haha.
B: Haha.
A: Geog is so lame.
B: WHATever man you're so much lamer!
A: Don't argue with me man.
B: You're so lame you don't even let people argue with you. HAHAHA SEE, YOU'RE LAME!
A: That was lame. SEE, YOU'RE LAME!
See? I like long normal discussions, and I like lame ones only when they're funny.

I'm sorry Yi Hui I still really the blogskin you designed, I really do. I just got bored having the same skin for so long.
But I think you should be happy too cause I used it longer than any other skin I used!
Ah well today was alright. Not too tiring I guess. And I liked the spicy chicken a lot even though it killed my tongue. But I'm just not so happy about a lot of things. PSL sessions are ending soon too. Actually I think PSL sessions actually do as much for me as they are supposed to do for the sec ones. It's like while I'm there conducting the sessions for them hoping they gain something out of them, I seem to be more alive than I am the rest of the week, and it feels good. Maybe it's because when you conduct those sessions, you know what you're there to do, and you really want to do it well, so you give it all you've got and you're naturally more enthusiastic. And I'm glad that I don't speak like a bimbo in front of the class as much as I did in the earlier PSL sessions. It just happens sometimes when I feel really self conscious. Oh no I'm gonna miss PSL sessions so much. It's like even though I'm still their PSL, we don't see each other so much anymore and I'll miss conducting those sessions and everything. I don't mind doing those proposals every week for the rest of the year actually. Plus, I'll be super low without PSL session every saturday. I already missed them a lot when we skipped 1/2 weeks? Ah well but I guess I'm not supposed to be stuck to them forever right? I mean, ultimately it's THEIR class and THEY are supposed to have learnt the importance of class bonding, supporting each other, etc.etc.etc. so they can work together and all and that's the purpose of PSL sessions anyways.
Training yesterday started off terrible. I was all weak from running up and down the basketball court during PE because I have adopted a terribly tiring and lousy strategy of following the basketball wherever it goes. My kua tiaos were horrible, like I haven't trained for 20 years. Probably not even 150 degrees yet. I was FORCING myself to jump but my body was stubborn and refused to cooperate. At least it got a bit better after a while.

Hello niners if you guys are reading this! I'm writing this post because I'm really proud of you guys because:
1. You guys were very enthu and participative yesterday!
2. You guys have BONDED as a class which is fantastic !
3. You're organizing your very own class outing!
Yay yay yay just when I was wondering how you guys were doing (since we haven't had a PSL session for quite a while). I was very very pleased with you all yesterday that you all are very enthu about your 109-ship. It's great that you are all proud of your class because you really should be and I'm sure your other PSLs will agree too! You all have really grown together as a class since your first PSL session and I'm glad.
Have fun at your outing and keep up the good work!

Hello fellow humans!
Since my dearest Ops rotation 1 friends haven't written their tributes to Ops rotation 1 yet, I shall lead by example. (What a brilliant idea!)
My Tribute To Raffles Girl's School Peer Support Board Operations Rotation One (Nice long no-abbreviations-used title)
Operations Rotation One was a lovely bunch of people:) and it was great working with them! Our first GM started off kinda awkward and only four people turned up cause it was held during the December hols. But we've had a lot of fun working together decorating the SLAC and singing together :) and during my time at Ops I had the chance to conduct an ice breaker with Cheryl Gatot which was lots of fun (but then I fell sick the next day and the doctor told me my throat was very red and swollen). So THANK YOU Ops for making rotation 1 lots of fun! And thank you JoOu for the cute shoelaces too!

91st post. Which shows how little I blog. Anyways SECOND update on what's been going on!
FOUNDER'S DAY!
I think this year's founder's day was MUCH MUCH better than last year's. Not that last year's was boring, but because it's greek themed. Which is super cool, esp all those laurel wreaths. And I think our very ego form teacher did a good job :)
Seriously, what is it about RGS and foreign countries? Our motto's in LATIN, our school song's called from high OLYMPUS (which explains the greek theme) and Athena's at our gate, too. Okay so it's just that our school loves greek stuff, the latin part is started with RI and the Auspicium Melioris Aevi (?).
Back to founder's day, like I said, it was way cool this year, with all the greek statues and togas and wreaths and everything. Actually the statues looked kinda freaky, in a cool freaky way. Wu You is too tall! She was the statue with wings in the pretty dress.
Then it started raining after the opening speeches, but it was just a drizzle. The MCs told VIPs to proceed to the hall but then Mrs Hoo said we can just bear with a little rain because WE PROMISE TO GIVE YOU A GOOD SHOW like it was so cool everyone started cheering and it made me really happy. Maybe it's because it's more fun sitting in the Amphi than watching a live telecast (5 seconds late) in class.
Right I shall just summarise everything in one sentence: The performances were fantastic, the theme was fantastic, everything was good.
But I was kinda disappointed that the Arete cheers weren't scary or fierce like they were meant to be. And the Raffles cheers weren't loud enough. It started raining heavily right after the ceremony (we finished just in time!) and Wen Jun let me have a lick off her yummy Turkish ice cream during the reception cause I wasn't allowed to have any due to the fact that I'm not pro enough to perform and I'm not in PB.
I love my school :) And that's the reason why I wouldn't trade my Rafflesianship(and a lot of homework!) for the free time I had in primary school

Fine Alicia I shall update!
Ahh alright I haven't been updating for QUITE SOME TIME already so I shall start with something that happened QUITE SOME TIME ago.
Inter-house nong jump!
Ok I was kinda mad at myself after the event but I guess it's another one of those times that I get mad at myself for things people don't even notice. Like that time during PSL session when I did the life story of Oprah Winfrey, and I was guilty guilty for 2 days.
Anyways I really really miss house prac and doing RICHARD cheers. Make that really really really really really really REALLY. So I was kinda happy and scared to be doing something for the house again. Me and Lynn were freaking out while packing our bags like kanchiong people. I don't even know if kanchiong can be used in this context but nevermind. I don't know, it was kinda funny seeing everyone in house shirts at the long jump pit again, brings back memories of house prac at the long jump pit at sec one.
Well I was much less anti-social this year, and I talked to the other jumpers and we freaked out together. And I think it was great that everyone cheered for one another regardless of house. And of course it was FANTASTIC to see Lynn and Steph again. Not that I don't see Lynn like almost everyday, but you get what I mean. But Steph doesn't remember me from long jump last year, she only remembers me as a T3SL (she was a T2). Sheesh :D
Poor Steph had phlegm so she sounded croaky and she had shot put too so she was shuttling back and forth. Hah it was really fun this year, with everyone more friendly and all. And then I taught Steph and Lynn the We're All In This Together dance, but now I forgot why. I was super happy and full of house spirit :) and also because long jump is fun! Well, it won't be fun if you do it everyday and train for competitions, but it's fun as an inter-house event.
Yay I think I've jumped a personal best, but it'll be scary competing with the sec 4s next year (hah i'll be competing with the people who taught me how to jump!) and yup I hope everyone had fun jumping!
