Again i went hiatus for like a gazillion years. Been so busy with school; i had virtually no time to blog. (perhaps its Facebook that stole time from you my blog)
Many agree that Facebook is a very bad distraction.
Let this post be a catch up on my life. (blog is where we record our lives isn't it?)
So 2010 begun, had quite an emotional low start. Having to repeat the first year at Millennia institute was humiliating enough.(at least to me personally) An original glorious entrance to an A level institute became an embarrassment.
The following account shall be fast forward.
The year begun with an additional 2 week holiday. Great way to start a year!!!
Initial 3 days of Year 1.5, was spent as a emotional, spiritual?, Meditative? camp for repeat students to Clean the soul and purged it of our bad doing of 2009. To "restart" once again i 2010 and do well! Thy Soul shall be pure!!!!
There after, Orientation, ROUND 2!
And thus so, the Da ja vu begins. Almost everything of 2009 repeated in 2010. Same scenarios, exact same setting. The only difference lies with the identity of the people around. The poor little 1993 children, all with their inquisitive faces stepping into what know to them as a "Holy" A level institute. "Oh thank the lord! I still manage to get into an Alevel institute! NICE!" I bet many had that thinking after the second day. Poor children, WELCOME TO HELL!!!! This is Make-Sure-you-Drop-out institute mind you!
Retention soon kicked in. watching as your own ex-classmate took charge of you. Being treated as if you are a young innocent child. In fact, i might be older than some of them. However they did quite a job in planning and handling the Orientation. Kudos to them nonetheless. The only error in this year's orientation, WHERE IS THE INTERACTION? In the end, I DONT EVEN KNOW A SINGLE SOUL IN MY OWN ORIENTATION GROUP??
Orientation. Oukoku 2010.
Went through the same routine. Got into Taira 3 (just like Athenian 3!!!)
Met new friends.
Who eventually became good friends, Keet, Ben, Derrick, Asmita, Yan and Jonathan. (Hope our one extra isn;t wasted! We shall be in year 2 next year)
Again! MI dance. Highlight of MI Orientation. (even stated on Wikipedia, so its a must feature on my blog)
During the event, the 93' kids had a raging hormone. Most went amok with excitement, first time with a girl dancing?
Anyways....
I had a awesome partner for the Dance! Eleanna! haha And she kept laughing at that Green Jacket guy behind me!
Zoom fast forward!
And so Orientation ended. I got into 10B5, as i have expected it. Jonathan would be joining me again this year, and for the next three years, he shall entertain the hell out of me! haha Nice!
Formal classes begun. Almost a whole new set of teacher, with more weirder demands and expectation. A whole new set of classmates to adapt to. Did i forgot to mention, i'm like 2 years older than these innocent little children?
How to not feel alienated from them, the generation gap. 2 years, Northpoint became Northpoint 1 and 2. Thats a big change, which goes to show how much different there is within 2 years.
10B5 started with an overwhelming huge number of students, perhaps record holding in MI? It was as Big as 5A i guess. Flooded with innocent souls who thinks of A levels as child play.
Lessons containing the exact same content soon flooded my life once again. This is what i hated. B6-er would have know how i hated H1 Maths for being a complete reduced version of A maths. Than you would ask, than why retain you dope!?
Good question! How the fuck would i know? Am i really that hopeless? Perhaps...
Though i so hated the repetitive lectures, i had to pay special attention to my countless lectures. A level is no childs' play game. It is war! I have to pay attention to the "battle strategies" taught during lectures. Methods and ways to use the "weapon a.k.a PEN" to kill the enemy, "Cambridge" the Beast.
(alright too much fantasy here. The more i read fantasy, the more i'm cranked.)
Fast forward. (Shortening the post. plus... i cant think)
March holiday came.
Completed my final Diploma module, Mass Media Research. Which later became the topic of my Graduating Project which became my greatest project in all time!
Mr Omar was a fun loving, eccentric and weird. However, he was a good teacher and taught well, despite my C grade.... I didn't study throughly.
Back to school. The boredom continues....
At this point in time, i was beginning to not like my new class. No offence to 10B5.
Zoom.
MI mart. Another "great" event. Hated this event so much in 2009. It was a great flop, just like all other "Major" School event in MI.
Planning "started" as early as the middle-beginning-ish of school 2010. Just the same, split into three groups, create the proposal and get rejected.
Took over as assistant leader at the brim of the event. The original leader had left for studies in a better place. Might be a good choice for him.
Had information jam pack into my head about the business. To my dismay, I invested in a business bound to fail.
On pre-Sale, we barely sold more than 5 items.
Event day, we were more or less screwed. I already given up on the event. Sorry to my Group. Blame the school for my slobbish attitude toward a major event in your Business studies life.
Next biggest event.
Transcendences.
The only Medium in which Musician in Millennia can ever do anything. I must comment. Musicians in Millennia aren't treated well enough. We are treated as a bunch of hopeless fools. Whereby you just rather love those who can run like a cheetah or those who would just make the school famous. What with being famous for sport only, when 75% of your students are dying after their A levels? I'm pretty sure there are studies that Music could help you achieve greater heights than running like a mad ass. No offences to Sport people, i'm in it too.
Audition for transcendences.
Went horribly wrong. Had a great fallout with the people i pull together to apparently make "my dream" happen. I agree, i was the jerk in this case. I led to my own downfall.
Thank you Dhivya for still coming down specially to audition despite me being an ass.
and Keet for being the friend.
Alright, so i didn't fit into the "theme". Since when there was even a theme??!! Countless incredible musicians were rejected. I was shock at the results. No news of a planned theme was given. Musicians went in most prepared and gave their all, and got rejected. Great! just great....
MI! You just wait! 2011 Transcendences, I will be on that stage! Rocking your Sorry asses!
Concert day!
Bought the ticket the day before, alone. As usual, i always have to do things alone.
Went for the concert.
It turned out pretty awesome.
With incredible acts like, Orange Pulp, whom brought the house rocking with Sweet Child O' mine. Awesome musicality, awesome shredding by the Guitarist.
When all the event's finally came to an end. The Examination anxiety kicked in.
June holidays was approaching, which equates to examination with in 2 months.
Its all study and nothing else.
Alright this kind of summerised up my life up till the Beginning of June holidays.
For now than.....
Keep Rocking on those incredible licks! Rock on \m/
