I woke up and it was a really blue day.


The coolest faculty ever.




With the best faculty dance.


Performed by the most capable dance ics I can ever ask for.

And Artemis is always the king, because


Of the super faccomm


With a really hot and cute Chong Wee, secretary


With a very stylish Joshua, Pub IC


With a very pretty Magdalene, Dance IC


With a very sexy Si Jin, Dance IC


and the most energetic Ding Fang, Pub IC


With the most committed Mr Teo, EC


and my dashing partner Teng Seng

Because the ARTEMIS FACCOMM gave ARTEMIS the best we could give


We tied billions of bombs






And shook the earth with our cheers


Even though we are four faculties that coexist happily in Hwa Chong, one must be the best.


We are the best.
Artemis, we are the boom king.

The top 12 moments of Orientation.

Because it was a super blend of council, faccomm, people and myself. It was about taxi rides to school, about waking at 530 to a hearty breakfast, about answering calls daily from my mum who never fails to ask me about dinner when she already knows I am not going back, about looking at unfamiliar faces smiling at me which is definitely a turn on lol.

They are in no particular order.

1) Debriefing OG18

I got them into inner plaza. And I started talking, with them listening and looking at me like I am a superstar haha. I freaking love my OG, so I shared with them my learnings in JC1. About school, cca, friends, closer friends, relationship issues. Because I don't want them to screw up anything that I went through, but then again, screwing up is the best way to learn.

2) Dinner with OG

I remember this day. It was the day when everyone was split into their CTs and gathered at the high school terraces.

If I am allowed to repeat my entire og experience, I would have done nothing different. I would debrief them every single day, I would not make them cheer every single time, and I would still get myself high enough while every one of them felt tired.

So while I cleaned the tarp, my og waited for me for 1 hour. Then, I partied with them even if it means getting a scolding from council teacher because I neglected my council duties to party with my og. And I was super ultra touched, because chuankhim sat me down, brought me my pizzas that the og reserved for me, 1 whole bottle of pepsi. I also got a freaking cute mushroom softtoy that now sleeps with me every single night.

Because looking at you guys, naomi estelle anying zhenyang pinyan hongsheng darrell victor ALL 28 of you makes me smile, everytime I see you people in school.

3) Artemis Intro to fac

I just did it.

4) Artemis Fac dance

Our dance is an ART. It's that freaking damn good. Because when the girls did the body wave, the crowd went woahhhhh. The moment the dance ended, I knew we did good.
Mag and Sijin really stepped up.
Teaching the dance went well too.


5) Artemis Wargames speech

The speech was very good.


6) Handphone

For the little reasons, my handphone has been my great partner.
I would pass it to other people to safekeep, leave it on the council room shelf, keep it in my bag, call and talk to people, or GET FREAKING PISSED BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE'S HANDPHONES ARE SO DAMN NOOB BECAUSE I CAN'T HEAR THEM WHEN I NEED TO.

Waking up and falling asleep to smses is very heartwarming and fun.
and my handphone never did die on me once.

Handphone, let's go party some time together yeah. I'll treat you to whatever you want, mocha, chocolate, whenever.

7) Song session

Yeah call me a loser, a retard, whatever, but I so very loved the song session during campfire. It was pretty damn emo too, because I knew my friday was running out in a couple of hours. Because friday was a very big day for me. And a deeper side of me wanted that day to go on forever and ever and ever.

I think amidst the confusion, the hectic schedules, the uncertainties, kheexuan, peiwen and tengseng did a pretty damn good job.


8) Preparing for campfire judging

I was tired and hungry, wearing my dirty new artemis shirt soaked in starch, mud, probably pee.

Just when I was about to leave council room to bathe without shampoo and soap, my shampoo and soap magically appeared, accompanied by my lunch, and a bonus drink, and a nice familiar face. How good is that?

And it was one of the first times i got to be alone during the entire orientation. I was very happy, so I agreed to let the aunty cleaning the toilet see jun shyang half naked. Haha, lucky her.

9) Campfire

Because the artemis crowd is not a zihigh crowd. But I would love to think that artemis=junshyang.

LET ME EXPLAIN before you think I am an egoistic bastard lol. Because on any other day, Artemis is sane and relaxing and happy. But Artemis steps up and cheers when we need to, and when we do it, we are the KING, we are the boom KING, WE ARE THE KING.

Ares cheered, Apollo followed, Athena gradually did their thing. And when my crowd was not cheering, I was pissed, so I jumped out from backstage and BOOM, we cheered. I was alone in front, but it didn't matter, I just had to do what I had to do.

And then my faccomm appeared and BOOM, we cheered. It's good to know that your faccomm is with you somewhere on the field, in the hall, because no matter who you are, what you do, it is always comforting to know you have backing, and everyone needs backing once in a while.

10) Artemis Juniors

They walked up to me and said, thanks for making my orientation fun.
And that one or two persons is good enough to make me tell myself I made a difference to my OG, my CT and Artemis's orientation experience.
And I don't mind thinking that way because I really gave them my all, I ROCKED YOUR WORLD ADMIT IT.

11) FREE FOOD AND DRINKS BIG TIME

12) Mr Pang and Mr Teo

At the end, after the campfire, Mr Pang walked to me and told me I did a good job. That moment lasted 8 seconds, and I replied Mr Pang with a smile, a tired thanks, as I continued carrying the mobile stage away. MOBILE STAGES ARE VERY HEAVY.

At the end, Mr Teo messaged me and told me I did a good job.

I think the faccomm saiganged a whole lot this time. They reported to school early, they went home late, they did things they werent even told to do. I hope you all enjoyed doing the little things. I hope you all enjoyed leading cheers. I hope you guys enjoyed your time onstage, even if it's that 20seconds, or 2 minutes 51seconds.

Orientation is about how you pick youself up after this one and a half weeks. Because you no longer live in that world, and you need to get yourself back down to earth. No more wind when you walk LOL. No more late nights, no more catching glimpses of people, no more looking at persons sitting in the auditorium when I am onstage speaking, even when I get to see them any other time.

Secretly, I am afraid that when this ends, everything will also end, and this has been a very happy time.

A small part of me wishes that there is no ocip meeting, that cny wont be starting, that there wont be that lecture test that i am not planning to pass. Because I want to do things, bigger things, like taking that bus, watching that show, and i really miss science centre for a weird reason, like drinking that drink, like buying a new cd. And I want to do things with the people I want to do things with. But maybe that day is really over.

I am losing it, so I turn to the best things I have, to keep myself going.
Like yesterday when I was so losing it, but I remained stable as best as I could.

Talking to wk is liberating, because I don't think about what I say, I say what I want to say. Things like how tired I am, how I am the king of the world, lol.


Places I hate in school:
1) Amphitheatre
2) PE block
3) Amphitheatre

But I woke up today feeling all normal again.

Once in a while, you need that hiding place to run away from the moment.








Always, no matter what, my kickass partner.

As for the few of you out there, I know you are tired.

5 Pictures that define my experience. The top 5 pictures, no captions. My pictures are the best, see for yourself.











Lol, I got greedy. These pictures are not the top 5, they are just for fun.

This thing is unhealthy, so it ends HERE.

Decisions, we are always making them. No matter how big or how small. When we make decisions, most of the time, we think about ourselves, what we want to get, how we want to feel. Sometimes along the way, we forget to let others know that a decision is in the making. This is why our parents are always calling us to ask about dinner, about coming home. Because our decision is important to people, but most of the time this slips our mind. And they need to know. So when we tell others our decisions only at the end of the day, only when we are ready, only when we have already decided and there is no turning back, it's sometimes too late, and this pill becomes too difficult to swallow.

But as always, there is another way out. Maybe there is a turning back, but you got to hold on to it a little longer, keep the faith, keep the hope, dream the fairytale.

I am mildly excited about cambodia yeahh.

If you want to read what went on in my day, read on.

Woke up very very early. I reached Commonwealth an hour early, with the intention of getting breakfast and checking the place out. Commonwealth is one of those places where you will pass by while on the mrt, take a quick peek, but never really notice what's really there.

The hawker centre is great.
I felt so much more free, I remember.

The wet market.



I don't know why I am including these photos, but the colours are powerrrrrrrr. People gave me weird stares, but I didn't give much of a damn.

Shengshiong holds certain memories. I think it's way cooler than fairprice.
FacCIP visitation was not that memorable.

I did not take lunch at commonwealth. Because it was supposed to be done in Ang Mo Kio. So I hopped onto the train and it really, really, really crawled there. I did not want to talk to tengseng, because he prefers his handphone. Haha, no, I just wanted space.

It was quite a decent time there. I shot some of the best hoops ever. But it was at the arcade not the court. 300+. No, you couldn't have done it without me. I only got owned at 1 arcade game. I am the king of arcade, just for today, but that's really nothing to be proud of. (hahah)
For most of the other parts, I don't know how to describe, maybe kheexuan's post would be more insightful.
We walked to the bus stop to board 74. With some directions from him, I have (finally) mastered Ang Mo Kio, believe me. Okay, so what now?

Other things include running 4 rounds instead of 3. House. Chelsea. Wilco.

The worst thing was that the pathetic shop did not sell the dvd!

Somethings just happen at the wrong place, with the wrong person, at the worst time. For example, watching Enchanted. If I could turn back time, I would have chosen beowulf hands down, even if it's not as good. Boo the happily every after bullcrap. Other than that, Dempsey was surprisingly brilliant, superpower.

Starbucks makes me feel so tired, but it's not because of what you think it is. You know the green logo? It's supposed to be refreshing, funfact that I learnt diligently from discovery. Funfact. Funfact. Go tell them it does not work. Caramel again. Actually, thanks for getting me out of there.

Quiet nights call for good shows. But I can't jump right into Season 3 just like that, when half of it has played. That means, staying at home alot, saving up plenty, and spending that $79.90. No, it's not stupid to spend $79.90 on something you know you will definitely like.

KT Tunstall is ringing in my head. I never knew I sucked so bad at time crisis 4!!!!!!! Cambodia yeahhhhhhhh!

Ah, and huiping, let's beatboxing haha. Yeah, I know you don't like the beatboxing dolls, don't worry about that. Next time, if the wall of toys decide to fall on you at vivo, I will laugh at you I swear. Then you can beatbox by yourself after that. I'll always be your king of rahrah, that's for sure.

Thank god, not all things in life disappoint. Like Food Republic.

That stupid red line, it's been made too long. No, actually it just feels long. I reached home and realised my Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind vcd went missing. Lol, didn't even get to rewatch it. But it was strange how I didn't feel sad about losing that vcd. It could be because I simply cannot be bothered about losing one of my favourite shows anymore. Or maybe because deep down, I know I want the dvd instead, for whatever reasons.

__
Everything is getting geared up now. Council, FC, studies, people. Where did my holiday go to? Not knowing where your time went is one of the worst things that can ever happen to someone. But thankfully, I know. I am settling down right about now. Whatever things that sucked I don't care anymore, or I try not to care anymore. One of the good things is probably the better timing.
