Me - "Is that Khamarrul?"
Clement - "No! That's Firdaus, our head prefect."
Me - "Oh."
[Few seconds later]
Me - "Is that Khamarrul?"
Clement - "No, that's FIRDAUS!"
Me - "Oh."

Me - "Is that Khamarrul?"
Clement - [Screams]

Camp Instructor's Course tomorrow. Stuff's all packed, although I'm not too happy about having to lug two bags, but since I need the other bag for LTC, gotta make some sacrifices. Shucks.

And Hin Kai just told me that, apparently, "Ren an said you are the one and only triple red shirt" in the whole level. I don't know whether I'm enthusiastic, or suicidal.

Went to school for the LTC meeting which pretty much became a lecture on our "Selection Criteria", "Ethics" and "Sangila Utama". To tell the truth, I nearly fell asleep.

Nicholas Chan - "Eh Linus, how long have you had your braces?"
Me - "Um...About one year."
Nicholas Chan - "Cannot see the effect leh."
Me - "I hate you."

Grr...

Played, or rather, tried to play soccer with Yang En, Clement and the rest of the LTC guys, Ming Cong joining in as well. My marvellous defending skills ended up in an own goal, so yeah, damn. Score ended up as 5~3.

Lunched at Parkway with Yang En, Clement and Ming Cong. Clement and Yang En still think I like Jovina, as in not friend-friend "like", but as in "I don't know how to say this but I LOVE YOU MARRY ME" kind of like.

Which is completely incorrect, because Clement found a recording of OUR OPW project interview with Jovina. And he thinks I <3 Jovina because I didn't delete the recording. And that's because I'm just plain lazy.

Take that, Clement.

Had a talk with Yang En about the "future" commitee after our batch. It was really kind of ironic, lah, seeing as that we're not even the commitee yet. Well, Yang En's guaranteed to be Chairman or Vice-Chairman as far as I see, competing against John and Vincent for those posts. But I'm not sure about whether I'm in. I suppose I am, that I've got a fairly good chance, but then you never know.

Then again, Mr Maran did say that we Junior Leaders have to take up leadership positions in our CCAs...

I'm already Vice-Chairman of ELDDS though.

Which is not to say that that's bad.

I'm worried about ELDDS...Our current Sec 1, 2 and 3 COMBINED enrolment is about the same as the number of Sec 4s leaving us. Needless to say ( but I shall say it anyway, since that's what seems to be the thing to do ), that's wtfbbqhaxxorzomgzors bad. As in, really, really really bad.

• SYF and EMD next year.
• Haven't gotten a script.
• Haven't got enough people to even ACT, much less do backstage.
• And my juniors aren't the most committed bunch I've seen.
• Worst of all, Li Zhi ( Chairman ) and I are much more in love with our first CCA.

I was looking through my older posts and came across some posts that said how much I hated CO and loved ELDDS.

While it's still true that I do like ELDDS, it's now become a like. I don't know why, maybe it's the lack of activities, maybe it's the slack-ass juniors, seniors and all-around attitude, but ELDDS is definitely "falling from grace" so to speak, and it's a pain in the ass to think about. And I have no idea how to save ELDDS from going up in flames.

Conversely, CO has become a much bigger part of my life now, to the point I actually like going for practices. I used to, and still do, complain about "having no social life", but when I actually thought about it, being in CO already allowed me to meet and befriend some of my now-close friends, like Yang En, John, Max, Michael, Wee Bian, Jing Qun etc.

So now, I find it rather sad that I wasted my Sec 1 life, not just in terms of Academics ( which was suck-ass poor ), but in terms of my CCA too. Had to give up my ELDDS SYF Gold and EMD, not to mention the points I could have gotten from CO if I had cleared my attendance. In fact, attendance was so bad, some of the current Sec 2s and Sec 3s thought I only did joined this year.

Which I practically did. It's this year that my enthusiasm for CO began anyway.

Hell, if I had been this committed during Sec 1, maybe now I might have a chance of being the Chairman or Vice-Chairman.

Now I'm trying my best in CO ( excusing the Dai Di playing XD )...Maybe it's just to compensate for my crappy attitude last year. I don't know.

I just know that I've really changed a lot since Sec 1. Grades have improved, my attitude towards life has changed from "Life sux" to " I'm pretty blessed" , doing quite well in CCAs ( although the "failing this year's attendance thing" is a bother ) and overall enjoying life in VS. Triple Red Shirts is definitely something to be proud of too.

O.o

Kind of just realized how much I typed out...Really meant for this to be a pretty short post, but...It feels good to just type stuff out like this, and not worry about what others think. I should do it more often.

Except, you know, I can't do EVERYTHING I want on my blog because of a certain branch of a certain organization.

Oh! CIC tomorrow, gotta wake up at 6. And it's almost 11.

Won't be blogging for the next 3 days because of camp.

Expect a post on 13th Nov, Monday. Should be quite a long post, unless I have a sucky time at camp. In which case my post would be like

"Ugh, life sux_xors."
