okie actually i thought i should blog a week later given the time right now (almost 3am) and that i have hall camp tmr! let me begin... hmm today was a very busy day! Firstly, i didn't swim much ! Don't want to talk about it, the wet weather these days is foiling my swimming plans so when i woke up to a bright and sunny morning, i thought today was rather ideal for swimming only to realise that the dark clouds were looming behind! So it rained halfway while i was swimming. Can only blame myself for foolishly believe that the skies will clear up very soon and it can't possibly rain again today which it did! Anyway, enough talk of my un-wise decision, which really did make me feel stupid. :(
In the afternoon, we went shopping at daiso for our dormitory stuff! Bought a handful of stuff. And I realised that i actually enjoy shopping, be it grocery shopping or shopping for clothes, bags etc or even just windown shopping. I like to browse through the numerous items on the shelf, looking at them frees up my mind. Yes, i guess right now, i look forward to every shopping trip.
Spent the evening packing the stuff which i think i'll need for hall. It was not a very pleasant experience though. Thereafter, daddy sent us (mum, aunt and i) there to unpack. I did not fully unpack fully because it was already quite late so i'll continue tomorrow (or rather today).
Yesterday, went to collect the keys to our dormitory and also did some spring cleaning because the room was simply too dusty! Would like to thank deb and her parents for helping me out. :)
Then, i headed for city hall for pre-camp. Basically, i met up with my group leaders and some of my group members since ten didn't turn up. But still, 11 people attended so i think it's quite okie. It was rather awkward at first because i came late and couldn't figure out which group was my og exactly. Was very grateful that i manage to spot the correct group of people or else, it would have been embarrassing. The other group looked so hip because they were learning how to do some sort of funky dance. Phew! Fortunately, i didnt' even approach them.
Our seniors gave us a briefing and introduction for the camp. We also played some ice-breakers, talked and learnt some cheers. At one point in time, i thought it would be quite awkward to talk to strangers and make friends. I even foresee myself to be at a loss of words, followed by awkward silence. Unexpectedly, i was rather chatty that day to the extent that i thought i might have been a poor listener. And so since i think my group should be quite alright, i hope camp is going to be alright because my group leader emphasised that we should just enjoy ourselves, not be too self-conscious about embarrassing ourselves. Despite this, i think i would still inevitably feel this way at times.
FINALLY watched H-P yesterday with sister. I liked this movie the as compared to the previous ones. There were more than a few light-hearted scences which triggered my laughter! Though i know the plot getting's darker as well. And there's this quote which strike me the most, the "looney" girl mentioned, "Things that we lose would usually come back to us in some other way." Hmm not that i absolutely believe in it, but i think it does make some sense. Oh well, even though most people wished that the movie could be longer, i think the duration's just right. I dont' like too long a show, but it also means that they cut out a lot of details which can only be found in the book. And thus, i decided to read the book diligently courtesy of deb. Thanks!
Okie update again when i'm back!

Today was retail therapy! deb, kwa and i went shopping! Each of us returned with something even though we didn't manage to get the items which we originally intended to buy. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant and enjoyable trip. :) And since we have yet to purchase the stuff we need, we should go shopping AGAIN together with fish and pee buddz as well! The next time round, we should devote an entire day just to shop because there are just too many shops and too much stuff that i want to a look at.
Oh ya, i realised that we (deb and i) haven't got our $5 gift each. But, that should be easily settled, so no worries.
Tomorrow, i reckon will be a rather busy day. Will be off to school in the morning to collect keys for dormitory. Plan to move in on Sunday which seems a tad too first because i am not very prepared, both physically and mentally. This means i would have to spend a portion of my time sorting out what i foresee i would need most probably tomorrow night and lug it down on Sunday. Afternoon time is set aside for pre-c.a.m.p. Okie, hope everything will turn out well! :)
It's time for me to go bathe and sleep because i'm feeling very shagged now.
Just a little note, time is seriously passing by too fast for my liking! I desperately NEED more time for me to complete what i want to do!
1) My Scrapbook
2) Swimming!
3) More Shopping
4) Watch H-P Movie
5) Go Cycling

If you're wondering why i am blogging at this time, well you should be because today is a thursday and usually at this time, i would not be online because i would be seated comfortably in my couch with my eyes glued to the tv screen, channel 5 to be exact. The only reason why i am online at this point in time is because i've watched this episode of my oh-so-exciting Prison Break! in Australia (back i early june) so i decide to make good use of my time - spending time here to blog about my recent thoughts.
Time is running out! Seriously, it's only like a few more days before school starts minus the h_a_l_l c.a.mp.! I am feeling excited about pre-c.a.m.p and the c-a-m-p itself! Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it's a mixture of anxiety and excitement. I think as the days draw closer to camp, i would get quite nervous and perhaps pre-c.a.m.p blues as well given that i'm prone to mood swings. If you think that i'm very contradictory, well, i guess you're right. I am just like that. Sometimes, even I, myself don't even understand why i feel like this. Most probably due to my indecisive character. Hmm coming to think of it, i think i really should learn to become a stronger person, mentally i mean. I do not really wish to say this but i guess i have to admit that i'm quite a bit of a weakling. Okie but i promise i'll try my very best to toughen up!
Okie, moving on. So let me list down the things that i wish to complete before school starts officially though it would be seemingly difficult given the tight time constraints.
1) Watch the lastest H.a.r.r.y Pot-ter movie
(I don't even know the title because i am definitely not a HUGE H-a-rr-y Pot.ter fan. For those of you who have yet to know, i have NEVER read any of the H-P books' series simply because i'm not into the fantasy genre. BUT i want to watch the movie because i have always watched every H-P series movies' so if i miss this one, meaning not watching it in cinema, it just doesn't feel right, if you get what i mean.)
2) Go cycling
(I have just learnt how to cycle courtesy of deb, pee_buddz, steph, kwa and f.i.s.h. so it's natural that i practise, paying special attention to my poor manoeuvring skills. :P)
3) Shopping
(I'm kind of upset that the GSS is over. It's gone like wind. I feel that i haven't shopped enough. I desperately need new *ahem* and bag(s). These two top my shopping list! And yes, i am a very fussy shopper. I only buy when i can find the items that i really adore. So a word of caution, if you want to join me for shopping, you need stamina like mine! Or rather, i'll be glad to help you build stamina. :))
4) My Scrapbook
(I have really been procrastinating this. I aim to finish it before school starts and yes, i will do it! Do laugh at me if i do not keep my promise. I hope that's enough to motivate me to continue with it. Moreover, I am inspired by deb! Her scrapbook is really nice!)
*Gasps*! The preview of next week Prison Break! is just over and there's still left 4 final episodes. I sincerely hope i get to watch all these episodes because since i will be staying in the hostel, so i may not get to watch the tv shows that i like (e.g. korean dramas) since everyone staying in the h.a.l-l will be sharing the tv! Umm I think i am a spoilt brat, fussing over such a minor and even insignificant problem. :( I'll see how things go. Basically, i think i am still not used to getting out of my comfort zone but i guess this will be a good learning experience for me, an opportunity for me to grow up and be independent. :) I should stop being so reliant on my family members especially my mum. Okie, i think right now, i sound like a mama's girl. Geez but that is partially true too. Hee.

It's been raining the entire morning! Perfect weather for staying in bed. :) As i was flipping through the papers, the thought that university is going to begin really soon i.e. like 1 plus weeks' time sank into me. Yes, i've heard people saying how fast school is going to start but i think i somehow manage to obliterate this disgusting truth. Last December, i was still fervently planning out how i was going to make full use of this entire 8 months of freedom and yet as i looked back, i realised how little i had actually accomplished! Oh man, i do feel quite lousy about myself just thinking about this. I wonder if i would actually have the time to complete this very same list of things i set out to do given that we will be working in 3-4 years' time. Sighx. Well, the phrase "all talk and hardly any actions taken" is indeed very apt, isn't it? Okie. So i decided to devote my remaining freedom to more constructive things from now onwards instead of slacking and lazing around. But come to think of it, I guess I don't really mind doing that. How contradictory can I get?
Okie yesterday, i went to relief my sister's class. I was initially rather reluctant to go because it was sort of impromptu. I knew there was this possibility but the clerk didn't call me and so i thought otherwise. But at the end of the day, i was pleasantly surprised that i did enjoy myself though i was mentally and physically drained.
Yes, they were rowdy and it was difficult to command the attention of the entire class when i was conducting lesson. I was practically shouting at the top of my lungs but it had little effect. And so, i decided that awarding points should do the trick since they had a point-chart system. Expectedly, they were all hyped up about answering questions and their hands shot out enthusiastically one by one. :)
Okie i'm off to clean my room AGAIN!
