Heheh... its been an interesting week... not the least because I've been doing one of those 24-hours-sleep-in-5-days stunts again. But oh well, this weekend is dedicated to the catching up on sleep =) Got a massive sleep debt to repay though...

Last night I even managed to fall asleep in a kneeling position while doing the DSTA survey and woke up with a numb body. Imagine falling asleep in the Ranger position, for SJ people...

Well anyway we did the silver mirror thing again on wednesday.... I mean, we were like making dozens of silver mirrors.... The verse in the Bible about Solomon making silver as plentiful in Jerusalem as there were stones or something springs to mind.... My mirror in fact, is still intact, but the almond smell still enamates from it so there's probably a leak somewhere... As they said in The Outsiders, "Nothing gold can stay", and considering that silver is more reactive than gold, I guess its only a matter of time... But no matter, I shall enjoy it while its around!!

From bottom left, anticlockwise: Jiamin and Poying's collection of silver mirrors... Jiamin's silver mirrors are like super nice... totally coated including the bottom
My three silver mirrors. The first two were overheated so the silver was more cloudy
My mirror with the Parafilm which turned out to be a big rip-off (forgive the pun) because it tore pretty quickly... if I hadn't taken out my mirror to play with during physics and caught a blast of almond to my nose, it would have oxidized before the day was out.
My mirror with duct tape from my file.... This held it till I got home, where it is still in not too bad a condition

I realised... what a waste of space talking about silver mirrors...

Oh yea, according to Liang Sheng, when Mr Chong got his "epileptic fit" in S23, Chee Hoe regretted not slapping him when he had the chance... heheh lucky I took mine...

Coach once said "Why do [people] do what they do?" I wonder what I'm doing with my life.... Seriously, its like living day to day... everyday go home, prepare tuitorial for the next day, then school, then home, then repeat again and again. At most maybe look forward to the next PE, or the next fencing session, or use fridays as a landmark where we have to wear our ties and sing school song yadayada. But almost half a year has gone and I don't know what I will do next time... its like I cannot imagine myself as anything other than a student, or maybe doing my NS... But a regular job, be it teacher, engineer, (maybe) doctor... I can't imagine myself grown up.. haha.. sorta weird...

And then again ain't it tiring to keep competiting in such a fast paced society? I mean, sure we get results (and sometimes we don't), we gain knowledge, become more "civilised" whatever, but at the expense of sleep, maybe relationships, I daresay, even meals (when was a last time you had a regular morning, afternoon and night meal for all 5 days of the week? Or maybe its just me.) which will just cause general unhealthiness.

Speculation speculation... well nothing's really gonna change. I guess I'll just leave it to God and see what happens...

Anyway, to wrap up, a few memories of the past:

Truth to be told, I don't have many, cos I only got a camera phone in mid Year 1

The time when everything was colourful and everyone didn't have much to think about... it all centered around "when's the next outing?"Acknowledgement: From Mr Chong's album

The slacking about in the concourse. The first photo taken with my camera phone

L20 after PE on mondays

The busy-ness of JC life...

But at the end of the day, guess the most important thing is to still stay nice and relaxed eh? Haha (Yea, I just HAD to include a cat)

Alright then its really late... good night all
