after being with PRS since form 1, the list of ajk's next year was finally announced. brought back nice memories of me when i first joined PRS and also all the activities which were held. i remember when i was in form 1, PRS was considered a popular club ( still is now), a whole bunch of us went for the interview to become a member. on the day the list was announced, i remember smilling at basically everybody when i saw my name there. not many passed the interview, in my class, less than 3 passed. then, it was the probation period. meetings, teachers' day singing....this time, less than 5 person in the same floor as i'm in managed to pass. i still remember seing ivy sniffing with a broom in her hands next class when i passed by. curious, i asked, she told me the list of PRS members who passed the probation period was out...less than 30 was on the list. worried, i rushed to see the list. no words could describe how relieved and proud i felt when i saw my name on the paper.
then, there was 'orentasi' in the beginning of the year, hari kerjaya and also singing for teachers' day as the major PRS activities participated by the form 2's. it was during that orentasi that i learn how to sing the lagu sekolah....why? cause WE, the form 2's had to teach the newcomers how to sing the lagu sekolah....( i dont blame them if they still can't sing it, cause i didn't know how to sig it too == )
form 3 was slightly more relaxing. form 3's were in charge of being group leaders, penolong, and also the secretary for that group during kursus tahunan. i missed that event cause i was in thailand, but i helped out every other way i knew.
this year, events that form 4's last year didn't organise was organised by us. example, hari PRS, the day where we invite PRS from other schools to gather around. and also, from this year onwards, form 4's have to help with the hari kerjaya.....which i thought was organised yearly by the form 2's? anyway, it was fun, so i basically didn't mind. but, gosh, kursus tahunan was tough. so many things to prepare, our brains were squeezed to the last bit, thinking of the games to play. then there was also majlis perpisahan, for the form 5's. it was an event we had to cover with a very limited budget. i think they ( those who buys the presents as well as the ones who ordered the food and set up everything to look like a real high class buffet ) did an extreamly good job, even the form 5's complimented this as thier best meal in thier years of attending majlis perpisahan. after everything was nearly over, it was time for the form 5's to anounce the next ajk's.
3 by 3, we were called out. some were called out twice. all the 3 called out were blindfolded with a water balloon on his/her head. the ajk will then poke the balloon of the chosen ajk. water will then be splashed from first floor to the lucky one.
at that moment, i could tell for sure, a small part of everybody wanted a post, but it was rather limited. most of us, including me, joined this club for fun in the beginning, but as the conflicts thickens with the work load, everyone would, consciously or unconsciously want something in return. kl, my very confident friend, was called out for the first post. i know her well enough to know she was rather disappointed and was hopping that she wont get that particular post, cause she was eying another higher post.
as expected, she didn't get that post, though she didn't show any expression, it was obvious she was smiling to herself. she was called out the second time, for ajk discipline. she got that one, though she eyed for something higher, she looked satisfied. good too, cause she's rather scary when she's fierce.
i got called out too. the first time, i din't know what to think, cause i wasn't sure if this was what i wanted.....suddenly, i heard water splashing, but it wasn't on me. i really didn't know whether to be relieved or upset....i wasn't even sure if i'll GET another chance to go out anymore. then, as the number of posts lessens, tension increases, people were getting worried.....it was down to the second last post.....and i was called out for the second time. this time, i knew, if i don't get this post, i'm not getting anything. now to think about it, why am i so unconsciously wanting this post? i guess, in a way, i wanted to have a place where i can train my social skills as well as to expose and train myself to more challenges.
so when my balloon burst, and water was poured till my shirt was dripping, i stood at the same place, stunned. then, i rushed on stage with an annoying grin on my face. if possible, i'd like to erase that grin off my face, it must made me look so show-off....but at that time, i was so happy, i didn't care.
when i got my golden badge, with my name there, that feeling, was priceless. i took the badge back with me to my chair and stared at it......
i am now the next naib pengerusi 1 for year 2009.
to think about it, it was rather a surprise. during the individual interview, which i had to go for twice, ( == ) they asked me if i wanted a post, so of course, i said yes. then, they asked me which post i wanted, know what i told them? i told them, that when i looked at the ajk list, i did not see any post that made my heart scream " i WANT that post!!!" so if u guys think there's a suitable 1 for me, i'll take it and work my best on it. i mean, if i want to go for a post, i'll usually go big, probably the first few post on the list, but i didn't DARE to dream big. wanting something and dreaming about something is really different. one might leave u in regret, and the other might just leave u in pain and swearing u wont try it again.
so now, i'm just glad and thankful to the ex-form 5's and teachers in charge who gave me this chance to TRY and dream big though i'm not very confident with myself. i'll definately try my best to bring PRS SMKSS to it's peak, like 2 years ago when i was in form 2. ( gosh, why am i sounding like I'M the pengerusi? == )
before going 2046 with friends after clearing up that day, the current naib pengerusi made an appointment with me to meet up with her so she can explain all my duties next year. though i think it'll be tiring, it's gonna be worth it.
PS, po chi was SO shocked i got naib pengerusi she joked that PRS wont be able to get champion for pameran this year ( >.< ) so we made a deal that if PRS DO get champion, she'll belanja me mcdonalds........ngek, ngek, ngek, i'll make sure we stay as champion next year.

i'm BACK
after 6 days 5 nights trip to Cameron, i'm BACK!!!! back to mornings where u don't necessary find mist, back to eating vegetables and fruits that doesn't taste like they've been soaked in syrup, back to days where you cant even get fresh air or quiet moments on your own, back to mornings where u get up and rush around like mad cause you don't want to miss the school bus ( okay, so i always get up late, but i'm tired >< ) but on the OTHER hand, you dont have to wear a sweater and yet freeze all day long, AND you dont have to use a hairdrier to heat the bed up a bit before you even sleep ( it's 19.5 degrees, averagely)
supposingly, it was a STUDY trip, for the coming finals ( NO~~~~~><) but, it ended up to be more of a FATTENING trip........( idontNEEDtheextrapounds) , i didn't really manage to study as much as i wanted, to be more specific, i wasted the first day cause i was busy unpacking and wasn't really motivated. then, i wasted another day, being emo ( simple words gets me thinking, and sometimes, when u start thinking TOO much, u either get emo, or feel TOO pround of yourself.... i usually end up with the first ). Then, i wasted the last day unpacking and feeling how lucky i am to still be alive.....seriously, if i am a cat and had 9 lives, i'll be down to my second last life now. don't believe me? well, i nearly drowned 4 times ( i knocked out in one of them ), i nearly got knocked down by a car twice, and during my trip to thailand, an accident in the theme park left me hanging in the mid air for quite some time, which i myself can't believe how i manage to survive. ( suddenly feel so pround of myself xD ) And some people wonder why cant i swim == well, at least i still enjoy splashing around, and i totally believe in living my life to the fullest. ( i want to try bungee jump, white water rafting, sky diving, and many many many many more.....guess nine lives' just isn't enough for me =P)
anyway, the main point is that i am now officially BACK in KL......andexamsareinlessthan24hours....no~~~~~><
PS: it's good to sleep on my own bed with my soft toys and my pillows.....^^

............(part 2)
i must be out of my mind to be typing so many post's in a day >,> but, it's legal right? =P
you know, it's been odd, how almost every class i go, the class i'm in will be the talk among the teachers...as in how 'GREAT' the students are. guessed i'm jinxed....?
last year, the same teacher taught me Chinese, truthful speaking, she's a seriously good teacher, i mean, you can see that she tried hard to communicate with our class but it's not just about trying hard, there was just....nothing.....somehow, it just did not working out. i guess i'm partly responsible for being too engrossed in reading The Star newspaper sometimes till i don't even realize her existence. BUT, i gotta say, the stories she tell, are SO.....FANTASTIC, i just makes me fly into the world where emperors rule over the kingdom, in HUGE palaces , people still using carts to do all the transfering, girls walk around timidly in long....dresses?
back to topic. last year, during the anual debate competition, ( which i eagerly took part ) i was shocked to know that our team's first round will be against a group of my friends, one of them was considered my closest. i was emotionally helpless, and shock till the extend of thinking whether i should just quit.
then, few days before the competition, she told me she might just quit. shocked, i asked her why. she told me she didn't want our friendship to face problems because of a competition. somewhere in me, i was rlieved, i didn't want to compete my friend, even if it's only a friendly match. but this wasn't what i wanted, i knew it myself, she should NOT quit because of this problem, she takes this competition as seriously as i did, so why should SHE quit and not me??
on judgement day, she said she decided to join in, and made me promise nothing would change after this. recess that day, i was rather left out, all of them were in the same class, and this is a class to class competition, they had stuff to chat about, about what are the going to say during the competition....and, I, was, the, competition. i felt sad, but po chi said this kind of thing was normal, bear with it.
minutes before the competition, one of my friends told me jokingly, '' go prepare yourself a coffin, cause u're going down.'' i was somehow upset, even though i knew she was joking. i thought friends gave each other support when they need it? i even heard from a few saying that thier teacher told them, ''dont worry, that class is lazy, i bet they didn't even prepare anything.'' i was heartbroken, even the teacher's not confident in us....
anyway, we won. but lost in the second round. ( due to some really madden'ing cause = = ) everything was back to normal.
.........................................................how DID i get HERE???
i thought i was talking about teachers and how Pn. T, Pn. Fr, Mr. L got mad with us???? oh, sheesh, whatever, i'm ending the post, gotta sleep, eyebag problem ><.
chiao.......................................

i seriously have NO idea what am i doing here but, yeah, feels odd to be blogging again, has been quite awhile. in case some of u are wondering, (not that i think any of u would be anyway ) what's with my last post? ..........it wasn't suppose to be like that!!!! ><
it all started on 1 fine day where i had extra time and decided to blog. half an hour later, when i finally published it, the internet disconnected.......NO~~~~~!!!!!!! apparently, it was disconnected for quite some time already, just that i didn't realize......blurrr....so nothing was automatically saved in draft and i decided i was too lazy to retype everything.
*PS, this is the forth time i'm typing this already............i really salute my own patience x.x
