gah i really need to learn how to prioritize my life properly. and this is officially one of the most boring posts i have ever written.
so anyway, today in church we talked about spiritual leaders? then youth was prayer and praise which's great, our worship team rocks, really. and afterwards ms meeting, cum lunch with marilyn-madeline-lois-gregory. i love sundays, really. they start off absolutely wonderfully thanks to church and youth, which then gives me much motivation and energy to last for the rest of the day (and night. and into the early hours of monday morning.)
whee the zhu-di (bamboo flute) sounds so nice i want to learn it so badly!
and haha last week was my major electronic-gadget break-down week.
first my laptop kept hanging for strange, strange reasons. so i fiddled around with things, then after deleting the pdf-printer thing, it recovered! then my printer got uninstalled from my laptop while i was doing deleting, so i needed to install it again, but i lost the installation and verification cd thingum. however, i managed to find the installing software off the net so it got re-installed.
next on wednesday, i got caught very badly in the terrible rain-storm thing while strolling around nushigh and missing the bus stop and ending up at nus science faculty then getting confused because thats where i go for smp, and then finally remembering i was meant to be at nush instead. so anyways, i was drenched and so was my phone in my pocket, as in the keypad didnt work but everything else was fine. then i refused to listen to people's advice about going down to the motorola centre to get it fixed, because i was too lazy to go to plaza sing. so i blowdried it with the hairdryer, and now its fine!
and on thursday, i bought a new black ink cartridge, and helped cheronne print her dangan at about 9 something. BUT THEN after working on that zuowen about wolves until 2, my printer refused to work. it kept saying there was some error and foreign item stuck in it. but i couldnt see anything. (so i went to school on friday without the zuowen, but thankfully zuolaoshi decided to give us a last minute extension!) and on friday night, i re-explored the inside of my printer, and LO AND BEHOLD found a rubber band stuck inside, and i didnt see it the day before because its been dyed black by the black ink and stuff and because i was very sleepy already, at that time.
and now it works and i've printed out my wolf zuowen very prettily. =D im so very proud of myself really. unorthodox methods of fixing stuff. but it WORKS you know.
to add more colour to the post, meet the loves of my life! boonhian and jay.
gregory said something to me about the nanyang girls he knows being all-rounded and that the school grooms us well. whee! maybe. im obviously an exception to point number 1, because im more of the barely-above-average kind for everything, but i agree with point number 2! haha nanyang really rocks larh. we dont always get good teachers, but all our teachers really care for us! and there's something about the "qi-li", "xing-li" and the bowing to teachers as they pass that really gets instilled into us. everyone changes when they come to nygh - for the better! haha im so terribly biased and subjective.
anyways! was thinking about the whole thing regarding elite schools and neighbourhood schools and top schools and SAP schools yesterday. then started thinking about how people often say that students from top schools feel elitist and act stuck-up with people from neighbourhood schools. and today i've been sort of reviewing my actions and the way i talk and i have the horrid feeling that although i dont feel that im better than others at all ( because, in fact, i always feel im undeserving of gep and nygh and ip and whatnot ), i act in certain ways and say certain things which could give people a very wrong idea.
sigh. must change must change! somehow.
