Go Green Day!

It's 3am in the friggin' morning and I can't get to bed. Pfft. Not really a bad thing considering I have some stuff to accomplish.

I'm jamming with Mytailisonfire for the TI auditions tomorrow at Tiet Studio. Gee, to be honest I'm not entirely looking forward to it. :(

But then again, it is highly unprofessional to say you don't want to play for a band anymore just because 'you don't feel like it'.

As they say, the show must go on.

Speaking about upcoming gigs, Diorama and FourEncounting is set to play at my school (TJC) for the PAE bash on 23rd February. So to students in the PAE for TJC, do look out for us! :D Gosh, I think I'll really need a shitload of stamina to play that show.

Hm, and Calvin informed that we might be playing on Tuesday. More details to come.

And there's a CG 19/07 outing tomorrow too! Ahh I hope I can make it there.

Anyway, so today was Go Green Day! Hahaha, it's like one of those mass CIP programmes that schools organise these days (think Beach Cleaning and stuff like that).

We had to carry loads of newspapers and clothes. Not exactly very tiring though. And it's a good chance to bond with your classmates. I learned about some random stuff that I would have never uncovered unless I asked. Like the fact that Hui Yun once kissed a girl, Shi Hui wears contacts (honestly I thought she had perfect eyesight) amongst other stuff. I also realised the block 124-128 part of Bedok North Street 2 is really ulu. Most of the units have doorbells that don't even work. Or no doorbells at all. :/

Haha, we made this joke that perhaps the doorbell is like beyond the normal human hearing range. It probably rings such that the dogs can hear. And when the dogs hear the doorbell they bark. And when the owners hear the dog bark they realise someone is at the door. Roflcopter.

Well, I woke up in the morning and walked to the bus stop (Mum and Dad weren't at home cause they were overseas). At first I was like, "Hey wait a second, where's all the secondary and primary school kids?".

"I mean, I know the J2s are arriving later, but the bus stop shouldn't be THIS empty!"

Only then did I realise that it was a Sunday. Lollerskates.

So when I got to school, we had to go to our civics venues and tell our civics tutor our L1R5 score and stuff.

About 4/5 of the class of 19/07 are 9 pointers and below. I think the rest got like 11, 12 and 13? So sad to say I guess some of our classmates will be leaving TJC.

Similarly, those who got like 6, 7 points are considering VJC too. :/ With the exception of Alex of course, cause he's stuck with the ExCo SCIP. Heh.

Is it just me or is there something so attractive about VJC that everyone wants to go there?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I know Victoria is a great school. My sister joined VJC with 14 points and left with straight As on her 'A' Level certificate.

I mean, I have nothing against those who intend to leave TJC. VJC is perhaps a better place for them, so I'm not complaining.

To Jareth and Fann: I know I've been complaining about how I dislike those hypocrites who said they would stay but are deciding not to now.

I guess I'm selfish to say that.

I guess that I'm finding a reason to STAY in TJC. There is no 100% guarantee that I'll get into VJC, but I can be persuaded to at least put VJC as my first choice and try for it.

And perhaps you might ask, "What's the reason for staying?".

And the reason is loyalty, and not turning your back on others.

When I got into TJC, I said I would stay. I told several friends I would. I told the SYF people in guitar that I would stay. I guess everybody else who got into TJC said that too because they probably knew they wouldn't do any better for the Os and perhaps they knew they wouldn't do any better than they did for prelims.

And then surprise surprise, tons of people getting 7 or 8 points. Some even 6.

It is understandable why people want to go VJC. I guess everybody has a reason for doing so, some more justifiable than others. Despite whatever is said, people still put academic studies as a top priority. Getting into a good school is important for most people.

This isn't a case of 'dude, my friends are in TJC, I want to stay', this is more of valuing what I say.

I suppose nobody really gives a shit whether I stay in TJC or not, but I think what matters is that I KNOW and value what I said.

People these days say things without meaning it.

I can try and put VJC as my first choice and you know, perhaps I might just get in. Unlikely, but it is possible.

But what would I be leaving behind? I would be blatantly stabbing people in the back. I'll be leaving the guitar people to have to search for a new contrabass player and I'll be leaving all my friends who I told I would stay.

And big deal if I move to VJC, I don't really stand to gain anything. Sure, it's a lot nearer to home. Not sure if the girls are hotter. :P But VJC's guitar ensemble may not be better than TJC's guitar ensemble, I would have to stay back to make sure I can catch up with lectures and tutorials, I have to remake new friends. And orientation is going to feel like...orientation all over again. :/ I really wanted to be leading orientation the 2nd time, not being part of it like the start of the PAE period.

I'm being fickle minded. :/

Oh well, 2 more days to consider.

I ought to make up my mind soon. :/
