Of the Chronicles of Narnia and the Same old Brand New Lecture Hall
Sorry guys..havent been blogging for a few days...first of all happy new year to those having high hopes for this year...and as for those dreading this year...cheer up all right?its not gonna be that bad yea?;)anywayz...i guess i spent my last few hours of 2003 alone as usual...its not that im a loner or anything..fine maybe i am...i just dont like large crowds and loud music..espeially the music they play at those countdown concerts are just pure trash..and as for friends gathering for some countdown like my friend amenda did with her friends..well i happen to have friends with curfews and well..so im asically stuck at home because they are stuck at home..get what i mean?anywayz..as i was surfing the net on new years day i recieved a msg from Rs..thanking me for the earrings i left at her door..i was very pleased with it indeed..before that friends have been telling me how weird it is or how inappropriate it is to leave earrings at a girl's home..i sorta agreed because it seems like something that only a stalker will do...anywayz...i was pretty worried until she told me that she liked the earrings and now that she knew who it was from she will wear it..her msg really made my day...mad me feel like im not alone..and finally for once in my life im not totally alone on the last day of the year...that was the best new year gift..more precious than any Ang Baos my mom and dad can give me..or better than those new clothes we buy on chinese new year..the pure satisfaction you get when someone appreciates your gift is priceless..:)Thanx Rs..Anywayz..Yesterday i went downtown to breath some fresh air..not that the air's really clean there anyway..i just wanted to get out of the house abit..so i went down to buy The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis..its actually a children's fantasy book..consisting of 7 books..Im now currently on the first book called,'The Magician's Nephew..i bought the boxed set with all 7 books in it and it costs me $117.99...yea 100+ dollars on books are you nuts?well all i have to say is...when it comes to books...not textbooks mind you...when it comes to books every penny is worth it...like what my mother said..well actually textbooks can be used as sketching books as well..really depends how you use them..fully utilise the book yea?anywayz the first book is basically how this girl called Polly got tricked by her neighbour's evil uncle into this magical world of Narnia..and how her friend Digory..also the uncle's nephew has to go into the world and save her..its a pretty interesting book..and since it will be made into a movie soon i thought maybe i'll check out the books..it is fully coloured and the papers are of really good quality..which made the $117 really worth it...Today was the first day of school..its odd that i actually managed to slp at 1am yesterday..since i wasnt expecting myself to be so tired at that time...(Normally i will be rolling around on bed trying to get myself to slp...figuring out all the different ways to get myself to slp..which in turn led to the discovery of methods such as banging against the walls or drugging myself..)Woke up at 640am sharp and got dressed up for school..i didnt exactly feel good in the uniform..for some reason it was too small for me..and the morning was chilling and cold and i was shivering while changing in my room..as i look out the room i could see the traffic building up on the road to school..and the familiar sight of students strolling into the school..reluctantly or willingly...up the slopes every morning...I was both excited and scared of the new school year...why happy?well for a couple of reasons actually..there are new j1 people in school..and that's always a god thing since you get to be the big brothers and big sisters in school..also you get to see familiar faces again...old friends...always fun to have them around...also the new school building..thats lovely...able to leave that old warehouse behind and able to walk into the new building was a good feeling indeed...so i walked down the slope beside the school and came to the grand stand where everyone gathered...met friends and a lot of hellos here and there..had a nice chat about slacking with Eric..who was also a fellow marist/slacker...Why sad?well i miss the time when i had to come to school and wait for the orientation to start..i still remember the first day of my JC life as i walked into SRJC with my marist friends..and meeting Rs for the first time...now that i am officially a j2 student now those things are so near yet so far away..i know i wont be able to experience those kind of orientation anymore..the feeling of belonging as well as being welcomed..is something that i will treasure all my life...the first 2 periods we were free..so me melvir and ravish strolled around the school and met up with Rachel LiuYin and WanJun to check out the J1s playing icebreaker games on the field..it was the same old stupid game really..running around guys and girls holding hands and stupid endless cheer..but i guess thats what made the whole thing fun in the first place...the j1s sat in their groups in the hall...(Yes hall...NYJC finally has a real hall..)and i can remember the sight of myself sitting there alone with my eyes totally fixed on Rs...Ravish was as funny as ever..telling us about his holiday and the prankcalls he did to his friends...and he also called Wanwei who was ont he field when we called her...about her SAT scores and problems with it...it was hilarious how he was able to imitate all the accents without breaking into sweat..truely amazing...we jumped right into lessons on the first day..though not very new or tough stuff really but it was lessons afterall..and Mr Teo was as nice as ever..telling us the plans for the year...next lesson was in the LT...and ive been inside one of the LTs before..it looked almost exactly like SRJC's LT5..where i used to look back over my shoulder to look at Rs..sitting at the right hand corner of the LT falling aslp due to the part time work she was doing during Maths lectures..she sat 4 rows behind me everytime during Physics lectures..so everytime i want to see her i will turn back and see her..nowadays everything's changed..though the LT is different but somehow it has a homely and familiar feeling to it..as if ive been there a dozen times..De Javu i guess?Only the people inside is different..she wasnt there..physically...she's always there when i am...she's always smiling when i am around..she will always be around...because she will always be in my heart and mind...she will always be in the corner slping or doing her work...:)The same old brand new lecture hall...i will never forget it..
