96/365

The past two days have been busier than usual, with careers day in school followed by the e-gen challenge briefing and bowling the next morning. And now I'm just seated down here in my room, in front of my geography notes and blogging. These few days I have been thinking too. Thinking of people, about my life and worrying about my future.

Anyway, careers day in school just made more hopeless about my future. The day started off with a keynote speaker who scripted her supposedly-interactive speech and it was all so unnatural. Wanted to sleep during that hour but something kept me awake. It ended too soon and we left for our pathetic 30 minutes break before heading back to class for an inspiring session by Mr Lu about how to finance and prepare ourselves in the future. It was supposed to help make clear our paths but uh I guess I just got more confused. How about just marrying a rich (& handsome & buff) guy and be a tai tai? Sounds good.

Headed for the first talk (by SPH) and it wasn't that bad I have to say but I was too occupied with my 7x7 game. And also getting annoyed and refused to interact much. I don't get it, really. Why is it that people think that just because we are close, it is alright for basic respect to be compromised? I don't understand too that why can't they understand that people have limits? I can take jokes, but anything beyond my limits, you better back off. I emphasize a lot on respect I guess, like if I respect you, then the least you can do is to reciprocate. I demand nothing more than that so it's not very difficult right?

Anyway, back to careers day. Skipped the two other talks and went straight for the exhibition instead (in case freebies ran out and also to avoid overcrowding later during common slots). Got some booklets from different universities which had booths there but I'm still not certain about what I want to take in university (if I can even make it there in the first place). I'm beginning to worry too because it seems like my friends know what they're interested in already and I'm just wandering around like a lost sheep. Seriously, throughout the exhibition, all I was concerned about was nothing but freebies (don't judge). There's this weird feeling that have been bugging me since then but uh, whatever for now.

After the exhibition, we headed to the canteen to pack up a little and read the booklets (although I was totally uninterested). We sat, read and ate free garettes popcorn. Waited for a bit till the rest met us before we disperse to different destinations (some went home, some went out and for me, it was to go to dhoby to shop a bit before heading to city square mall for the e-gen briefing).

Took the bus and chatted a little with the rest and reached soon after. Shopped a little, rachel bought her stuff and I bought some discounted scrapbooking paper to make my phone covers. Left for farrer park then because time was running out. Located the management office, got our free shirts and settled down for the briefing. It was funny throughout though since we were making fun of almost everything. It ended after an hour and we went to the toysrus to fool around.

Time in toysrus was well spent, laughed around, played with hoola hoops and skate boards. I think we all forgot we were in school uniforms and just acted like children. Took lots of photos and it was good, really. It has been quite some time since I've really enjoyed myself.

Left for dinner at subway (yay to cold cut trio in honey oat bread with honey mustard and sweet onion sauce for only 5$ - my all time favourite) and joked and laughed so hard. Janice left afterwards and rachel decided to get a hair cut so we went. I hope she likes her hair now, else I'll feel bad. Joyce got hers done too and their hair looked good. Was tempted to get my hair cut too but decided not. The day ended with us training home.

Woke at 7 the next morning (my Saturday sigh) for bowling training at OCC which is at yishun. Thank god Janice told me about bus 969 so my trip there was shortened by half an hour. Reached earlier than expected in the end and met her at north point mall for sharetea before taking the shuttle bus to OCC. The country club looks good but I hate the lanes. Too slippery and skills dropped to all time low, lousy scores for the 3 hours and juniors did much better which made my time there worse. Ended soon enough (thank god) and Weixuan gave us a ride to the bus stop (else we would have to wait for an hour just to get an empty shuttle bus). Bus ride home was peaceful, slept a bit before waking up because a baby was crying so loudly (poor thing). The day ended with some math done and dinner at tampines.

That concludes my past 2 days (shall exclude today because my life is just so boring) and now it's back to my geography notes.

P.s This coming week will be filled with ups and downs because I'm getting back my PW and also my MCTs results. Please let it be good.
