since its like exactly 1 week to the first Alevel paper.
But any delay i will never get this post done.
So yeah, i feel like i need to make a recount on my very special 2 years of my life.
That's right, it's been an amazing time in AJC that i think i will never find it elsewhere.
Before i continue, i got to admit, i did not spend my academic time well in AJ.
It's gonna be a prick but i cannot look back now.
This post will be all about the happy things i've done and i think they can partly
able to compensate for the opportunity cost of studying.
So because of the happy things, I never regretted coming to AJ.
(Regardless of the fact that i would have chosen poly life given a chance to rewind)
It all rolls back in time to 2009 December.
I felt so carefree after the Olevel thinking its life again for me.
But hell no, the next morning after the last paper i was screamed at by my mum,
to FIND A JOB.
FML siriusly.
So coincidentally i got a job offer from Mel and there goes my hols *poof*
Took a couple of jobs before the olevel results is back.
Did average, compared to my classmates with all the distinctions.
I got 7 too but not many A1.
Oh ya, and i sat near this dudette called HHT who can't stop moaning and groaning.
Or more significantly, whining.
Even told to her to choose a different JC
(Enough of talking behind her back, you'll know why later)
Nevermind, so i didn't manage to qualify for VJC (which i aimed for).
Didn't even want to go RJ, HCI or NJ cos its not my type.
So was pondering over, trying my luck at VJC, AJC, TJC and NYJC.
blablablablabla the waiting for posting period....
*fast forward*
i was actually quite happy to receive the sms at 6.04am
when they announce that i got posted to AJC.
Haha lots of friends in AJC! yay, right choice eh? (that's what i thought at that point)
HHT came to the same school, gosh, talk about telling her to choose another JC...
Can't wait and immediately discussed with the two Nic to take same bus.
First day of Orientation, win, i woke up late and had to lie to the Nics cos they left first.
(yes, i lied about something i can't remember that gave me an excuse to wake up late)
So its the funky and quite low profile Orientation compared to other college.
but the programme within college was not bad and the OG mates made it fun XD
Cool ppl like WeiXuan, Joe Wei, Samuel and many others.
Oh and HHT became classmates.... -.- (i can visualise her angst if she sees this)
So after that period of slackness i couldn't really adapt to JC life.
Like seriously when do i ever need to listen to a lecture in my past 16 years?
So LECTURES=SLEEP and TUTORIALS=BLANK
Sucks man, this leads to my downfall, wait i decided not to say academics right?
Then came the chance to choose CCA.
Time for some truth and truth~
OK my choices are (not that i can actually qualify though) between:
Hockey, Soccer (no hope lah)
Harmonica (The only thing i know other than Recorder <- fail)
Harmonica (The only thing i know other than Recorder <- fail)
Students' Council, CXtreme
And you know the story, SC i chose.
Kinda daring for me to take on this path again.
SLB had been a rollercoaster in XMS already...
I took up the challenge and stood by council!
Started out with a mindset that i can make it a super cool and fun place.
It did turn out to be fun but i still don't think we are cool enough.
*awkward moment when a 27th reads this*
Of couse i enjoyed it.
Wanted to be a crazy house captain but after the nominees period.
I find that that is not what i really want.
I need to get down to some serious business by doing something not seriously.
What i mean is that i don't like to do very go-by-the-book stuff.
So i reckon Marketing to be my cup of tea.
It did entice me during the nominees period too :)
So there i go, became the Market 'boss'.
The very crude type of market, not the stock or commercial market,
those you see PRC selling vegeterrible and pork.
Kerkyturkey likes to call me 'boss'. *awkward cos idk how to react to it*
So i tell myself,
AJC is so freaking borrrrrrrring, thats what they said.
I gotta try to make this place less of a muggish prison.
Haha there goes my crazy ambitions.
A list of crazy changes i planned initially:
1.Make every monday a DJ song dedication morning
(FAIL, cos tried before and DJ did it badly)
2.Convert the canteen to some music hub
(FAIL, c'mon we in AJ, we don't spend on ourselves. #NonMihiSolum)
3.Plan AJ Idol and make it into a pop star show
(Plan it, done it, tried it, Pop star considered, you decide how well i fare)
4.Do some crazy idea to make AJ culture a more lively one.
(Proposed it, approved, executed it, you decide how well i fare)
5.Think of some mega milestone to propose to school, just like the NEXUS and Brolly Area.
(FAIL, too much things to do, too little manpower and time)
6.Make a super ultra cool Orientation video
(Not entitled to the opportunity but glad to be involved partly)
Other things that i didn't plan to do but glad i did them were:
Orientation OGL
YOG Volunteers
Open House and CCA Carnival for Council
Emcee during Bicultural Exchange
Various events
So this are the events that i basically covered over the 2 years.
What about the people?
You know i suck at this kinda lovey dovey stuff.
I cherish all my friends but its just not me to think of mega tons of messages
to thank them for being by my side.
So let me just name out a few that stayed with me and make the biggest impact k?
86 Gang peeps: Chris Tan, Kristen and Eunice. More than awesome gang.
Darren Leong, good friends since secondary school,
words just can't describe how awesome a friend he is and how impt he is.
Axel, he let me believe fellow slackers do exist but we are not trashes.
Kerk, Lynn, Sherry, Epichua, CF and AJI comm, without them i'm crap.
Without their support i'm just a headless chicken with crazy ideas as big as Kim Jung il.
Mos burger peeps, TKY, Joann, Kimchi, Turtle, for making after council event so gossipful.
Xinhui and Diwa for helping me in class cos im the biggest douche u can find in terms
of remembering to do my homework.
Nicholas Tan, for being the super funny friend that few ppl actually know about.
Ms Zhu, super understanding and the most strong-minded teacher ever (ironwoman)
Mr Seng, the teacher who gave me approval and recognition to my crazy ideas.
Ms Jeannie Chew, the 'badass' teacher who taught me the most things in council/outside world and for being the number one supporter (and sponsor) of AJI.
Ms Lee, for a very lazy student like me, i don't know how she resist herself from slapping me.
Enough shit, this is basically my two years in AJC, fruitful? Certainly.
Regrets in coming AJ? No
Choose AJ again? Erm, no. Oops.
