sooo, i wasn't happy with my blog layout, again. and so i changed it, again. (:

I'm still going through the process of re-entering all my links and thingamabobs back into my blog. It's not so simple anymore, since having custom html coding means that there's no more easy blogger interface for me to work with. BUT IT'S OKAY. im happy exploring the world of coding. it gets frustrating, but no doubt it's quite abit of fun. it kills time pretty well too. (:

my school's library exhibition week is tomorrow, or minggu pusat sumber, as they say in BM. it's been pretty hectic the past week, preparing the library for the next 4 days. honestly im scared that the work that my committee's done won't live up to the expectations to the rest of the students. getting feedback from the seniors about the exhibitions from the past few years makes me scared. they all seemed to have enjoyed all of them, especially the egyptian exhibition from four years ago. butterflies in my tummy. ):

on the other hand, preparing for MPS has 'required' *cough* me to skip class for the past week, and now, i have absolutely no clue about what's been going on in class. to add to that, i don't really understand what's going on in class even when im in class anyways, so this is probably the equivalent of DOUBLE-KILL for me. with all the monthly test being held really soon, i doubt i'll have the time to put in effort to well, pass? ah, but i guess being in the library for eight hours a day for a week straight hasn't been so bad. berbonding with the form 3's abit wasn't without it's share of fun.

i didn't include the afternoon sessions because i feel like instead of getting to know them better, i've been more of an angry scrooge towards them. not that i like being scary, but sometimes when the juniors don't listen to instructions, i just flame up inside and start screaming my head of. not a side of myself i like showing other people, but they didn't leave me with a choice. ):

but but but,

we got to know the real president of ours, not the scary discipline director i remember from 2 years ago. kinda scary to know that im now taking on her role of being the 'scary senior' who shuts the whole library up when i enter. *sigh*

oh yes, my class has a new student, Sven Manuel Hartmann. He's a really tall german boy (at least in asian standards) who's abit on the quiet side. can't blame him for that since he's still new, in a foreign country and all. i don't like how the students and teachers are treating him like a live exhibit at a petting zoo at the moment, but that'll die down once the whole school gets used to the foreign ang moh-ness.

my sister's already back in australia. the house feels pretty empty without her throwing cereal boxes at us and almost killing all the passengers in the car while she's driving. i'll see her again in four months, but it'll be some time before i get used to only having my slightly annoying younger sister in the house. my brother's going back to china soon too, to earn money in shanghai.

can't get used to the fact that we're all growing up and living far apart :/

OHH! librarian installation was about a week ago, and im not proud to say that it was almost a complete catastrophe. bad communication, coupled with (a few) sucky committee members and stupid librarians made this a really hard thing to well, salvage. i shall not elaborate on my frustrations towards the many things that were related to this event, as by doing so, will only reignite past angers that i have already come to terms with. (: the only thing i was happy with was the souvenir which i stayed up till 2am to finish that night, for the seniors. i guess i wanted to do something that i'd be happy to recieve when i retire. (:

this was the 10-minute picture i put together using photoscape at the very last minute. kinda wish that i had more time to do this better, and find a better frame, but time did not wait ):

MMPH, I HATE UNSTABLE INTERNET )< recently streamyx has been really really really fudgy. im disconnecting every 10 minutes. argh, i shall just call them and complain, like my mama. JK. i don't like scolding people. ):

my volleyball team is on the verge of dying. having a chat with sir and li shan about ways to get the team serious about training at this time of the year was productive. sir was on the blunt side today, saying that the girls team has never been good enough. but then again, he gave us solid reasons and problems we do, and did face in the past, and ways to overcome them.his solutions aren't easy to carry out, and people get really unpredictable and frustrating sometimes, but i think if we can get past this hurdle, we can pave the way for the future girls volleyball team of smkts, that is if they wish to follow in our footsteps.

i don't want the team to die when im still here. while i have the power to do something, like motivate a lazy teacher, and get uncommitted people to give their full cooperation, i will, of course, hand in hand with my partner. :P

sir also brought out the suggestion of getting one of his ex-players to coach us. honestly i don't think he'll have enough patience to last the 3 months before MSSD, knowing that bugger, but no doubt he'll make a great coach. maybe we should follow through with the suggestion, since coach keith won't be able to stick with us anymore, since his upcoming knee operation is going to leave him immobile for pretty darn long. my teacher advisor won't be much help either, since we've been playing volleyball longer than she's been in smkts.

WHAT TO DOO, WHAT TO DOO.

encountering so many problems in the supposed 'honeymoon' year of my highschool life doesn't really make it a honeymoon year. even so, i've kinda enjoyed this whirlwind so far, and after all my activities are over, i'll go back to my number one ; my studies. with the JPA scholarship no longer available to me, the only other immediate option is the ASEAN scholarship. to apply for that scholarship, i need to use my end term results for this year. better kick into high gear soon.
