Life Thus Far

Form 3 is terribly boring and routine.

After going through the stressful tedious (but somewhat enjoyable) hell I call Form 2, Form 3 is pretty dull and mundane. The teacher's are nice, some of the subjects are somewhat interesting and the people are ok, but its just...... too boring.

There's nothing much looking forward to. Maybe it just the fact that I'm growing older, and things I usually found to be fun and challenging have become routine and dull. It is a lot easier to survive in Form 3 though. I find that I have more time to do other stuff, and school itself isn't very stressful.

I guess I should reflect on 2010 now.

Form 2 was awesome. It was tough and stressful, but worth every single moment.
Here's a list of all the memorable moments from the top of my head:

The first day of school
Interviewing the new probates, then having to pick each one of them after lengthy discussion with my board.
Marching for Sport's Day (and getting fourth)
Running for Sport's Day (and getting third)

Having trainings with the SL's and ASL's every friday.

Praying in front of the entire afternoon session under command of Pn. Chia, on the same day we did a sketch with our classmates for the afternoon session.

Division Camp (this one needs sub-categories)-
Getting totally screwed before a few days before camp
Having people sing Happy Birthday to me 4 times throughout the 3 days (it gets really annoying after a while)

And the best- going for 2 shifts of night duty on the second night, having my partner Kar Keong fall asleep during duty, and being the only one besides Grace Lim (who was working on a slideshow) to be awake. Scaring away a mean black cat who tried to tear up a trash bag filled of god-knows-what. And better yet- surviving the rest of the day without collapsing of exhaustion.

Having to collect tonnes and tonnes of payments (uniform payments, button payments etc.), having sl's pass me hundreds of dollars with torn pieces of paper and scribbles of detail on them. Having to double-check and organise everything over and over and over again. Having to walk to Manoj's house and count all the money. Kar Keong handing me his money in a torn sheet of test paper. And doing all that during exams, while all my friends were busy studying.

The Broga Hill hike, then coming back and finding out we have to get our Comsquad team ready.
The first aid exam, going to Alim's house to 'study first aid', going to Sue Hwa's house to 'study first aid' and after the first aid crash course.
Having crash courses for the recruits, and having to organise those crash course with our fellow form 2's, coming in for 3 days straight in the morning to teach them.

Teacher's day, learning to play the guitar in a day. (for Use Somebody by Paramore)
Installation, staying over at my aunty's house and practicing on Chip's guitar for our prefect board's performance (We performed Time of Your Life by Greenday). Not to mention the last minute switches when we found out the form 3's were performing the same song as us (Waka Waka), and trying to do a last minute switch to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (which was hilarious). Practicing the guitar with Elson and Xi at the staircases past 2 Anggerik. Having Emily do a speech just before our performance which no one expected. Missing half of our classes that day while we waited for the caterer to come and take away the tables the prefect board ordered.
Seeing the form 1's in their new uni.

Integration Camp, sleeping in a tent with Woon Seng, Emir, Adam, Elson and Heeran. Woon Seng talking a lot of crap.

Going for dozens of duties.

-Futsal duty for 7 hours with ALim, KK, Shawn and Tuan Manimaran (and getting to post the notice on the board, having my form 2 peers stalk me while waiting for the notice to be up)

-Going for the LKSA duty by myself, having both my mum and Manoj text me at the same time to ask if I'm ok. Having to spend 10 1/2 hours with 2 cadets from Kepong and Sir Subra, and pretty much being all by myself. Drinking tonnes of water, and being burned to death by the sun on the highway.

- National Prayer day from 6 till 11 at night. Going in a transport with totally random St John adult members. Some guy with bad english talking to me throughout the duty, and the really loud booming music playing throughout.

- Raising funds for the state with Elson and Sue from 6 till 11 (again). Meeting this really nice state officer who still recognized me at the KSTU Charity Dinner (hey, its you! From the fundraising event)

-The blood drive duties, our Division blood drive and the DU/Seaport blood drive.

-The Kiwanis duty (11-4) with KK and Elson. Guava girl, and KK's sick quotes:
*You just missed the chance to see 2 hot chicks!
* I'm getting horny lately
* She's got a healthy shape
* I'm only interested in her physically
* And my favourite-
"Kar Keong this is your time to shine!"
"Shine my @$$"

-The Bu4 cantin duty with KK, Justyn and Sue.

St John enrollment and step-up step-down ceremony. I miss the B.O.D of 09/10...

The IT Presentations I had to do- The powerpoint prestentation about Google and my website presentation, also about Google.

The classroom debates we had, 2 BM debates and 2 English debates.

Getting introduced to the debate club.

Having to do a speech in front of the school together with Emily and Luqman (and only remembering that I had to do it on the day itself, and this being one day before the July exams)

Realizing that I lost any faith in religion.

Going around DU and TTDI with the f4's passing out flyers everywhere for our division's blood drive, going with Guo on the first day and Justyn on the second. Being dead tired.

Going for Amanda Irdina's birthday party.

Then going for our division's blood drive the next day.

Discussing with my prefect board who to pick for the prefect board next year, going through all the voting processes and debating who's better, and Cik Ahni overhearing and commenting how 'matured' we are.

The tonnes and tonnes of spot-checks we had to do, getting called out of class mid-exam to do a spot-check during our finals.

Stepping down.

The UiTM IV debate with David, and nearly breaking.

Meeting up with Jin And Claire at 1U.

State camp!

Dedicating hours to comsquad, putting our sweat, blood and tears into training, most of the time by ourselves.

Winning comsquad.

And lastly, Orientation day.

That's basically a summary of 2010 for me. I doubt any of you will be able to understand everything I wrote. For me, its just a way of keeping track of all the things I've done and experienced last year. It's amazing to see how the year went by just like that.....
