well...okay, im slacking in my 1st wekk of "school" lol gonna rush out some work b4 I hit the library to get my 3rd book and finish off the trilogy that im on right now. the funny part mainly lies in the fact that I spent over one-and-a-half hours (while waiting for my CHINESE oral) reading my ENGLISH book xD haha....I hope my "relaxed" form will fare better then last year in terms of results
well...even then I cant take an "extended" break from Chinese seeing that the listening compre will be like this Tues, but then again, one does not simple fret over listening compre (even if it is in Chinese)
AT LEAST. there are 2 bottles of green tea at home, and oreos too, so for that I am (more or less) content.
yeah, got a heads up on the topic (more like event) that will be discussed next fri during the exco meet. (yay!) but...see? that's the problem when theres a leadership "void" and you step up to take the temporary place to help and do a decent job ppl just keep placing you back in the spot xP (yeah, cryptic message here haha)
anyway, I have something in mind, it'll be fun...it'll be fun...

Holidays are over...work starts xP
well...my 2 weeks-ish holiday has come to a close and today the work starts--> Grade 12, Last year of school. At least i'll be studying economics, so it ain't that bad xP
the bad part would probably be pre-calculas xP and American government xP (why do I even have to study that ouch)
well...on the bright side...the holidays were nice, last sat morning we went to play laser tag---was fun, adrenaline pumping like crazy and in 15min in a AIRCON room everyone perspires like crazy.(like, seriously) then after that had lunch with the church ppl (that day was basically church day out) then childrens clubs, then captains ball and then soccer until dark then dinner with church ppl again (see what I mean?)
yeah, then sunday came along --anniversary Sunday for the church-> 32 years old. at least I had my voice to be able to sing in the choir xD and it all ended with Daniel being very obvious xP
oh wellz, I told Auntie Janette that i'll go google translate my entire testimony xP it'll be funny.
Cola Wars up in Kluang run by us? ...again we don't have the "over-enthu-no-shame" kind of attitude xP (we're conservatives Chinese for goodness sake!)
oh wellz....now that I have my voice back the Chinese teacher will surely pick a lot on my ltr (well, the exam is in 3 days so lol)
should I go and buy green tea and drink it there? my gastric and sore throat isn't really settled yet...but still.... hmm

of Sports and Contacts
yesterday was a fairly decent day, with the (probably the biggest and only) downside was that 3/4 of my Grade 12 ARRIVED AT THE DOORSTEP! Dx for a horrible moment I was tempted to hurl it off the building but that moment passed when mom came over :(((
(anyway, its the last year of schooling...better get over with it)(but even up till right now I haven't even opened the boxes xP maybe i'll try pushing my holidays until the weekend and start next week or something)
and that happened in the afternoon, and at the evening there was a soccer match and dad said that I had to wear contacts because it was a "competitive" match (wwwwwwut?)
yeah I hate contacts, on of my foundational principles of life is: Thou Shalt not poke the eye that helps thou read or see. And wearing contacts COMPLETLY VIOLATS THAT! urgh, poking the eye -.-
at least I got the contacts on without crying as much and then almost immediately after that I get to do something stupid: Read.For A Long Time.With Contacts.On A Bus.
2nd Bro was sleeping the journey off and I had to stay awake to watch where to alight. after the bus ride I had: splitting headache, dry eyes, tired system, etc etc
and in the end we lost the football match 4-6. nvm, I got to assist 2 goals :P
had dinner/supper after that...then came home...as stated earlier, had a fairly decent day.
did too much talking (yea, regretting now) today woke up with a horrible pain in the throat (ouch) hopefully that doesn't deter my recovery.

Voice---> Lost!
ARGH!!!!! (yeah, here is the only place that I can scream aloud) I LOST MY VOICE, IM DOOMED! Dx
ergh, so I would assume that over usage of my voice over the weekend (actually just mainly sunday) has led to the horror of me WAKING UP TODAY WITH NO SOUND BEING ABLE TO PROCEDE FROM MY MOUTH!
its super-irritating, not being able to talk, that is, and like today I had to take 3-5 phone calls =.= the amazing logic man! lost voice---> takes phone calls ---> cant talk. awesome
really really crossing fingers and throwing all kinds of liquids down my throat in an effort to get my voice on the road to restoration :P I don't wanna think of what could happen seeing that this sunday is Church Anniversary Sunday and the choir's song is really nice. hopefully i'll be fully recovered by then *fingers crossed really tight!!!*
mom came back from outside with 1.5 litres of GREEN TEA (and oreos too, but that's on suspension due to my current voice condition), the 1.5 litre of ICE LEMON GREEN TEA that dad got yesterday night is already downed, sooo....stage two of the green tea treatment.
AND I STILL HAVE CHINESE CLASS LATER! the super funny part is that with the Chinese O levels oral exam coming up in about 10 days, the teacher is in overdrive for us to do oral presentations, AND NOW WITH NO VOICE.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (maybe i'll try whispering until the teacher gives up and doesn't pick me haha)
come on come on come on come on come on voice! I really nid a quick recovery (or vocal rest xD)

past week...reflection
pfffff.....what can I say? long week, tired, long day tmr....etc etc.
it seemed like theres no break in between, today is Saturday and just last week was the conclusion of the awesome Cola Wars, and immediately following that was the Layman Bible Education Program.
I missed the fist two days due to Chinese class on Monday and Teaching Assignment on Tuesday (both [at least for now] I do not regret going cause theres like Chinese O levels Oral Exam coming up soon this month and the cute kids in the class that I teach [especially the girl that has the sweetest smile---> that's what makes teaching meaningful)
but the Program was good, the speaker was really clear in his explanations. Very easy to understand.
separate issue aside, in a recent convo with a random friend, that particular person happened to mentioned that I, the Jerel, have (quote,unquote) "mellowed down". now what the !@#$#@!$@# does that mean? mellowed down? MELLOWED DOWN?
definition of mellow:(esp. of sound, taste, and color) Pleasantly smooth or soft; free from harshness.
WWWWWWHAT? screw that, maybe im just loosing my edge cause it has been heavens knows how long since my last proper debate, my mental sharpness is loosing its shine. taking a back seat in convos really reduces wits by 2 levels (and im sure IQ along with it =.=) zzz
oh wellz, but who cares? life will still go on, the world will still continue to turn so....:P whatev.
soooo, long day tmr, apparently there'll be some sort of "thanksgiving" dinner tmr for Youngest Bro (maybe they'll have turkey! [maybe not]) aaaaaand hopefully they wont nid ppls like me to give a speech or whatnot, cause I suck on impromptu speeches xP

Its Kids like these
yeah, its kids like these that really make teaching worthwhile, the small smiles when they whisper the answer that they know, the small giggles as they react to something funny, the overall sweetness.
its really nice to see that young kids can actually be all cute and nice, and not have to put on some sort of mask, or be someone that they are not, *sigh* I guess it all changes when they grow up.
but as of now, their smiles are guileless and sweet, and I am proud to be their teacher.

Near Past Stuff
wow....haven't posted anything for awhile...CAUSE EVERYTHING WAS JUST AWESOME THE PAST FEW DAYS!
yeah, Youngest Bro got to be in the normal ward for a couple of days and finally got discharged on sat, 1 week from when he had his accident. really thankful for all the support and how things all turn out.
and the Cola Wars 2013 was simply awesome, I mean, with Americans running it, it had a crazy start right off the bat on the "briefing" on Wednesday. I shall devote 1 line to describe the 1st impression of them:
crazy,crazy,crazy,crazy,crazy,crazy,crazy,crazy. super-enthu,will not pai-se one xP and their enthu-ness was really infectious, as 2nd Bro remarked to his Team Leader:"By the end of the week we would have lost all our dignity." #truedat
call it whatever you want, luck of the draw or something, but I got to be Team Pepsi Team Leader >.< (at least I got the fairly decent team)
the team individual match-up Team Coke had more pro ppl, but also more not-as-pro-ppl to balance out. Team Pepsi had a fairly good mix of ppls, all quite decent and that was the tipping point I think
1st day --- Team Pepsi won by abit - 114k : 108k (I think)--we owned in the chugging, thx to our 2nd chugger who turned the tables xD
2nd day --- We stretched the lead some more xD 240k : 220k --thx to chugging and our enthu trivia nerd bros
3rd day --- thx to the girls we managed to tie out Team Coke for the last day (in tug-of-war), so the score stands at 340k : 320k and yet again we owned in chugging (but all the egg games were really disgusting ouch xP)
yeah, maybe cause pepsi is much easier to chug than coke to begin with. anywayz, I totally loved the Coke cheer: COKE!COKE!COKE!COKE!COKE!COKE!COKE! *gets faster and faster*
hahahahahahaha....soooooooo funny! *wipes tears of laughter away* cause it sounds so wrong
during the cola wars was another time whereby I heard the most lame coke/pepsi jokes that are so not funny I wont take the time to write it out here :P
*takes a moment to be happy* well, at least we won....*happy feeling* lol
one of the parents mentioned that now that our youth has attended a Cola Wars we should be able to carry it out in the future and my answer to that right now is : !@#$!@#!# NO! there is no way we can be as enthu as the amricans and it'll be really weird if we even try lol, still best let others run the camp and we'll stick to having fun
epic moment during the barbecue after the Cola Wars, our Dear friend: *points in general direction* "look at that beautiful curve!" (everyone took it the wrong way) hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
~~~~~~~~
now its like "officially" the 1st day of school but I don't care, my semester is over and my next grade isn't here yet so im living up my "holiday" (still have class haha, Chinese oral during the 18th, and listening compre shortly after that...so cant really slack though, like ltr i'll have Chinese class zzz)
but b4 that at least i'll run to library and also play badbinton abit, hopefully I can run into some green tea as well :)
