This week has been more or less, a massive clear out of everything, my shelf, my drawers, I'm targetting my closet next so I can go buy more clothes actually =D. It's ironic how I've been seeing the same old things for so many years, for so many times when I've set my mind to do some clearing up, wondering whether I should keep them, or just let go and throw them away, but I've always seemed to feel a twang of reluctance, only to stuff it back in my drawer, or try to dump it in some box so it's out of sight, but I always have the comfort to know it's still there when I need it. Some kind of weird insecurity perhaps, that I'm letting go of something I really need.
But this year, was somehow different, I even started earlier. Maybe it's because this year is the start of so many new chapters, new classes, new subject combinations that I realised it's time to let go of the old, and embrace the new. I've dug up many cute little notebooks with caricatures on it, all pretty and everything, but unused. I can't help but wonder what possessed me to beg my father for one dollar so I can buy those little books from the school bookshop, and store them away like some treasure for five years, only to find that I've outgrown them. Even so, I find I don't have the heart to throw them away, I'm intending to give them to my niece, who is totally kawaiiii!!! Hopefully, she'll have some use for it.
I've bought my new textbooks, well most of them anyway, and seeing them lined up neatly on the shelf for once in a whole year seems rather refreshing. But clearing away all the dust has been making me sneeze for quite awhile... I seem to be allergic to dust, I always become sick afterwards.
Well next year would be an interesting one... yet rather sad, some of my besties like eliz., mich and shuning would definitely be in different classes because they're taking triple sciences, but hopefully we promise to go shopping more often, or we have SMP to do together (chem olympiad with eliz =P). I'm ecstatic that I got into 314, and the best of luck to charissa, sandra and iffy (I HOPE WE'D BE CLASSMATES NEXT YEAR ^^)
Ok, moving on to more light-hearted matters... Jiachee and I went to school to prepare for the VVIP visit, we were conned into thinking that it would take one hour, but it ended up ending to like 3, and we started at NINE (JIACHEE WAS LATE) -.-. We're in charge of this weird chongkak station, and we even have to memorise stuff in both english and chinese about the games like gasing and sepak takraw (I'm dying), of course we're keeping our fingers crossed that the VVIP doesn't come in and bug us (We plan to look very inconspicuous). Sitting in the Malay style for so long also seems to bend my leg out of shape so I can only hobble out to greet the VVIPs as they leave =.=
One conclusion I made was that JIACHEE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT PLAY CHONGKAK!
I better go back to memorising now... I'm quite screwed at this point and it's already half past midnight. God help me.
