Busying up and family

With the first week of school ended, i guess i wanna sum up what i have done.

The first week has been great, many changes in my life, in fact a lot has changed over the holidays as well. Maybe it is a new attitude to life, maybe it is a new liberation, but whatever the case, i am feeling good, and prepared for challenges upcoming.

Speaking of the upcoming challeges! On the 15th of july (friday), Temasek Academy is having a "TA fun night", it will be a night of fun, games and excitement! Everyone is invited to come! but remember to bring your juniors!

Yup, that is our project for this part of the term. The TASC is gonna plan the entire thing, and get up and ready, IN TWO WEEKS!!! Whew, we are going to have one hell of a time! but at least now we are going as one full force of the 12-man team!

Haha, that is exactly the kind of challeges i am talking about. Then there is the social life. as you guys can see, i have moved to the other side of class, i guess that most of it is elaborated in the previous entries.

Hence, i cant really post as frequently. i couldnt post on friday, and hence, am posting now! with so much going on in my life, i think that i am neglecting my family the most. previously my mom would joke My Son never comes home anymore!, well, that is a joke on her side, but to a certain extent it is kinda true.

In the first term, i stayed back to do my work, and mostly to spend time with people. then in the second term, i started getting really involved in things, like SC campaigning, Drama, then SC projects etc. i stayed back every day to do one thing or another. then now, the start of the third ter, and the pace is starting to pick up again. very soon, i will be back to my old schedule, and scurrying to catch with work. there is one major difference tho. I feel different about my whole course. i guess it is because of my severe thrashout during SC meeting, as well as my move to the "West side". then there is the new contacting of old friends. i feel more enriched in what i do and what needs to be done.

Im going to Habibah's guitar concert on the 16th of july, and this is cuz i have started chatting with ppl like bb and KaX and some of the ex-ro, which i have kinda ignored since sec 1. I miss those guys, and the days when we could be innocent, crazy and just fun-loving. instead, in school, we are caught up with personal image, cliques, politics, more in class than anywhere else.

I think back on what Mr tan said Friends are the new 20th century family, which i guess to a certain extent is true, but i cant help feeling that my family is the most important thing to me. I feel that my family, and most of my beleif system is based on family, and family togetherness. Most, if not all, of my family members are very family orientated. no matter what beleif, religion, we all treasure family and, know that this is the solace we all have. that is where i get confused. i love my family, and i treasure them the most, yet i am spending less and less time with them. in fact over this long weekend of 4 days (sat, sun, monday is youth day, tuesday is a TJ holiday) 2 of the days i am going out to friends' houses to do project or SC stuff.

It is a major pity. i really find it difficult to spend time with them, but then again, i could push out things, but i rather not. I see that most of the TASC are really family people. take Yee Chuin for example, we keep hearing of how she goes out with her mom, and they spend time together, same for syak, and how she still meets her mom even on weekdays (oh btw, thanks syak, for telling me some personal stuf, i feel honored that you trust me =) ). it is those little things we do that bring us closer to our families, and i learnt from amanda that we have to stay close to family.

With that, i am going to finish my work and hopefully go out with my family tonight for dinner. remember little things, add up to one great big family =D
