In the end, its humbling and sad to know that you just aren't good enough.

But life. goes. on.

This post is about Orientation! Which ended yesterday, and well, it was FUN! Definitely a big THANKS to the J2s who organised it, especially our 3 super-cool street-dancing OGLs, Chrisanda, Jarrell and Yen Lin. No wonder its Groovy Two Shoes haha!

Our amazing OGLS (:

And of course, HH'09! Rixing, Fu Xin, Jack, Darrell, Ying Jun, Diao Zheng, Hui Ying, Ruo Fan, Hannah, Valerie, Chang San, Jarrod, Sylvia, Rebecca, Benjamin, Clarissa and Anthea.

Never would have thought that we would turn out well together, at the start it was a diverse bunch of individuals, each with their own personalities and life! Remembered how sad it was on Day 2 when only 3 of us went out to dinner with our OGLs... then, it seemed like a low point, but through Orientation, I think its really hard not to bond and joke and laugh at those silly silly games and well, just life in general.

Sunday's OG outing was fun. Found out about the Settler's Cafe, which is a neat place to go and hang out (if you have the cash haha). As well, eating chicken straight out of Carrefour is the first time for me! (:

Jack, YingJun, Darrell!

As games after games went past, such as Station Games, "rush rush rush!" EA and War Games, batch dance followed by a touching batch song followed by loud cheers and plain lunches, and finally of course, O Night with our super costumes, it was just fun fun fun! In the end, as we applied the finishing touches to our outfit, and poured the last drop of red coloring on our bodies, followed by furious scrubbing to get rid of those stubborn red stains, I think its safe to say that we are definitely a great OG!

Our costumes (injured people). lol.

<3 Groovy Two Shoes! (:

Fear less,
hope more.
Whine less,
breathe more.
Talk less,
say more.
Hate less,
love more.

And all good things are yours.

My parents went to buy new specs, so I followed them and at the same time checked my eyesight. Apparently, according to the Specs Shop Guy, my degree actually dropped! :O

I don't know if I can trust him, but hey, if he makes money from telling people that they have mutilated their eyeballs playing on the computer, I guess he must have a point (:

However, apparently, according to the same guy again, my astigmatism went up for both eyes. That kind of sucked, and its quite convenient too. Hmm... not really sure what it is, but my mother says its what makes bright light appear to have shiny golden beams shooting out of them (yes, sometimes it looks to me like that).

Anyway, my parents felt this was enough cause for worry, so I'm getting new spectacles for the third time (there was a special promotion). Gah... my degree dropped and I'm rewarded with new specs? Still, not bad enough to warrant me wearing them all the time, so -shrugs-

So... in the end, the Specs Shop gets business. As an Economics student I must learn to perfect this no-fail strategy. I will make millions of dollars this way. Rawr. (:

Seventeen! (:

Thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday! Its great to know you have friends that bother (or at least, thanks facebook!). I know I might have been quite dreamer / serious / distant last year, so I'll try to work on it haha.

Happy birthday to Jack, Jim, Jun Yao, Jia Jun too! Long list of people! (: All of them starts with J... J for january! (: Its cool... one of them I got to know in primary 1 (maris stella), one is from primary 4 (rosyth), and two are from sec 3 (ri). These are random coincidences that happen in my life, and I'm lucky enough to have known all of you! (:

---

Birthdays are weird days lol... one night you go to sleep, and the next day everyone's telling you you're a year older, a year wiser, but hey, I don't feel much different from yesterday. Just the same ol' Alvin haha. When's this sudden burst of wisdom going to come?

Hmm because its a Saturday, and I had the vcord debrief in the afternoon, didn't have time to go celebrate or anything, so my birthday was just a normal day. Going to the food court for breakfast, coming back to do a little bit of work, going out to buy school clothes... well, was pretty bummed out that the day was just going by like that, but nothing could be done.

Mood was made worse by the fact that there was vcord results release, which is something like waiting for a test result to come out... anxious, hopeful, worried and all that kind of feelings haha. I know, compared to the big scheme of things, it wasn't such a big thing, but it took 3 or 4 days out of my life!

In the end, after 2 hours of debrief and waiting, got the results back. It was bittersweet, I passed, but I'm the only one from 01 who did, which is sad cos we worked so hard together. Do I deserve it more than them? Didn't feel very happy overall... so... felt kinda weird? Anyway, the hike is just another component for the badge, so there's still some way to go... thinking about it makes me feel tired. Its like everything's so complex all of a sudden.

Took the time to take a step back and reflect. Wrote down my thoughts as coherently as possible... not possible haha. Just got to spend more time to clear these thoughts I guess.

Moving on, a new chapter brings on a host of new questions.
