Holiday Job Hunting and Oral Presentation

On Tuesday, I went job hunting with Wendy and her classmates Meiyi, Rennes, Lapat and Lapat's bro Po. Actually It's ___po but I can't remember what's in front. OOps. 

All of them are such nice people so I didn't feel awkward at all. And I already know Meiyi because she was in my orientation group and Rennes was from drama. :) We talked about funny stuff on the MRT on the way to Tai Seng. Teased Rennes about An, asked Rennes who her actual crush is (she didn't say), talked about scary movies such as PA4, The Shining, Looper etc. 

And we all got the job. Hooray! :D Can't reveal too much details because we signed one of those confidentiality forms. However, I can reveal that we are working for Winter Time. 

Will be working there tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Will blog about my experiences on Monday after school :) 

Had my Oral Presentation today! We have rehearsed a lot of times but even an hour before the actual thing, our nerves were getting the better of us. I was stumbling, stuttering and fumbling while practicing. On the brighter side, the actual one went way smoother. However, I think I may have talked too fast. 

Now, I have some complaining to do. When we were the audience for the other two groups, I don't know about my other team mates but I know that Steph and I were giving encouraging nods and giving them small smiles. And after each speaker was done, my group would clap for them. But when it was our turn, they didn't even bother to. And no encouraging nod whatsoever. Seriously? 

I & R submission is this Friday and after that, it's all over!! One of the highlights of a JC student's life. The end of PW. Haha, shall go and sleep now. Nights :) 

Choices and regrets

Ok, so I am beginning to regret not doing well enough for the O Level exams to get into Ngee Ann Poly's mass communication course. I am regretting not choosing to go to Singapore Poly's Mass communication or Creative Writing for Television and New Media. THAT is me. Not the girl who is pretending to be interested in Physics, Chemistry and Math. Lies. A facade. 

I honestly considered asking my mom should I go to poly next year. I know it's a waste of time but I am worried that I may not get the jobs I want in the future if I don't have a diploma in it. I mean what good is a degree in Physics, Chemistry and Maths going to do in the media industry? Yes, I can take Mass Communication in University but I know that Poly covers more ground while at University they are concentrating more on Journalism and Public Relations. D: 

However, I have decided to trust God, or fate (if there is such a thing). I will study in JC and take Mass Comm. in Uni and pray that I still get the jobs I want. People may wonder why am I worrying abt it so fast, when I am still in year 1 of JC. Well, I like to think ahead. Because if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. If I don't succeed in the Singapore media industry I am going to New York, I swear. 

Speaking of New York, my aunt from New York called and said that although she has been affected by Hurricane Sandy, she and her family is safe. :) Thank goodness. phew~

OMG, the new Bollywood movie Shirin Aur Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi is being shown on TV for the first time! Yay! Watching it now! :)

Anyways, my class is doing our class CIP this November. We're organizing fun profession related activities for kids from Primary 4 to 6. Since I was in drama last time, I am in charge of the Actor profession along with Steph, Jasmine and Vanessa. So we have to come up with a script so that the kids can act according to it. Jasmine decided to take a scene out from Avengers, and I decided to take a scene out of Harry Potter. I picked a scene from the Goblet of Fire. I hope the kids like it :D 

A trip to the clinic

Went to the doctor's with my mom today. We arrived at 8.58am. The clinic was supposed to be open at 9am. Guess what? It opened at about 9.15, and then the doctor came at 9.40. What is this? Whatever happened to being punctual? Time is precious people!

The worst part is that there was a woman clutching at her stomach and groaning in pain. I felt so scared for her...it seemed really serious! My mom and I had the first queue number and she had the 2nd one. But since I felt scared for her I asked my mom if she was willing to let her go first. My mom said okay so we let her go first :)

Damn, I can't write much, got a splitting headache :( Bye, will blog again soon!

Boo! Did I scare you?

Ok so it's Halloween and every year, I celebrate it by watching scary/magical movies. I know it's not very exciting. xD

Anyways, so I re-watched Freaky Friday and I watched Paranormal Activity 3 with Chin at my house yesterday. Today I watched Paranormal Activity 4 with Xiao Tian at the cinema theater. I must say I expected more...the storyline was pretty similar to PA3. The funny part is that there were only 10 or 11 people in the theatre. And all of us were sitting at the back row. HAHA. Would've loved it if An had come 'cause I invited him but he didn't check his phone. :( He only checked it after the movie was over.

So I am eating plums and a banana for dinner. And sipping a cup of coffee. Diet for the win. Problem is I can't stick to it.

Anyways, check out Bridgit Mendler. Been a fan of her since she was in Lemonade Mouth but she finally escaped from Disney and has her first album for mainstream radio. The songs Hurricane, Ready or Not, and 5:15 are must listens.

Had PW oral presentation today, in front of a new teacher so all of us got quite nervous. Not good. Will have to try and be brave for the actual one. Anyways, after the movie I was queuing up for bus number 198 and guess who joined me at the queue? Miss JUNE! She's one of the teacher's in charge of the Emcee course I took last time! And she's the one who just recently gave me my first opportunity as an Emcee! I will be doing it next year. Will update with my experiences when the time comes. I always complain that I don't get enough opportunities so I better not screw up when I DO get a chance to host!

Miss June and I were both going to alight at the JJC bus stop so I chatted with her all the way about movies, good GP teachers vs. Bad GP teachers etc. There's something about her, she's so approachable. :)

Anyways, I am going to go watch a Bollywood movie on Funshion now. Ciao. :)

Mother Tongue A Level & Hurricane Sandy

Had my Mother Tongue A Level today and...it didn't go too well. I studied the ENTIRE book of idioms and there was 120 of them. 2 were tested from there for today's paper. The other two idioms...I have never seen before in my life. The last one...I had seen it before but it wasn't from the book which I studied so I forgot what it meant. There goes my six marks. And then the vocab and sentence construction was shitty too. :(

Never mind, I just want to pass. I will get As for my PCML next year. :) I thought I would be the only Bengali taking the paper in JJC but there was another girl too! She's in J2 but she's retaking the paper 'cause she flunked it last year. She seemed so sweet, I would love to be friends with her :D Unfortunately...I didn't even ask for her name and I can't remember her class. I just know that she takes Arts.

I was supposed to watch Paranormal Activity 4 with Chin after my exam but he messaged me and said that he couldn't make it because he had a stomach ache. So there went my plans. Besides, I was looking forward to meeting Chin because I was about to disclose two of my deepest darkest secrets to him. But maybe today's plan was foiled because it wasn't meant to be. Maybe I'll just take them to my grave. The reason I chose to tell Chin out of all my other friends is because I think he is the only one who can relate..I THINK.

So instead, I went to get new glasses with mom. My current one is totally scratched. Can't wait to get my new ones tomorrow. An was suggesting that I should get cat-eyed ones. Haha, his suggestion came a bit too late. Besides, it wouldn't suit my round face. Speaking of An, he recently dressed up as a nun for Halloween, he looked awesome xD If a guy can pull off the nun look, he can :D

I don't feel like doing my I & R, screw PW alr. :(

Anyways. Watch the next few videos. I laughed until I teared. I love these people.

Now onto a more serious topic, Hurricane Sandy. It's horrible :( And I know it affected those in New York, and my Aunt stays there. I just hope she is safe!! Will ask mom to call her up tomorrow. May the Lord be with her. And the rest of America.

Sicko

SO recently my General Paper teacher Mr Shermann had shown us a documentary film called Sicko. It was his last lesson with us for the year and in my opinion, he couldn't have chosen a better film to leave us with. I know the title sounds perverted but it's the SICK they are focusing on. Guess the title was cleverly used to get attention;

Ok so what the documentary focused on is the difference between the Healthcare systems in the US of A and the healthcare systems in the Britain, France, Italy and even Cuba. This might seem boring but it really struck a chord with me. I love the UK's NHS system and no, the quality of healthcare isn't as bad as they make it out to be. Maybe instead of shifting to America in the future I will shift to the UK. We'll see how it goes. 

Perks of Being a Wallflower

On Tuesday night, instead of doing my homework, I stayed up till 1.30 am to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower because I was supposed to watch the movie with Brielle and Wendy at the cinema at Jcube the next day. 

The movie was awesome!! Totally touching and I can relate a lot. 

                                                             The heartbreaks
                           "I'm really in love with Sam and it hurts very much..." - Charlie

                                                 The friendship problems

                                                       The family issues

A very unfortunate thing happened though, and I had to rush back home immediately after catching the movie because of that. However, I felt guilty of leaving Brielle and Wendy 'cause we had been planning the movie outing for so long and we rarely see Brielle since he is in ACJC. Thankfully, they followed me to wherever I needed to go.

Ok fine, I shall not be secretive. I had to comfort a friend because she retained. :( Sigh, why does it happen to all the nice people?

But life's not over, I am sure she will come back more hardworking next year. 

                                                        The Amazing Trio :D
