omg holidays rawk.

hahah, to those who have enjoyed themselves so far, gimme a hi-5! x) for those who have not...you will! it's just getting started! mwahahhaha =D

Let's see.. Yesterday i went to SPH for the student journalist interview. Basically i met SiLei, one of their overall leaders, and joined this group of 10-20 other students. We were interviewed questions like "How would you rate your chinese standard?" "Why do you like manga?" and "How would you rate your computer knowledge?" .. lol. But the guy who interviewed me was quite cute. =) LOL kay nvm.

Anyways, while we sat around waiting, one of them (referring to our interviewees. they are the batch of student journalists before us.. two yrs ago) who's from hwa chong, came over to talk to us. she's friendly, and we even exchanged deviantart addies. =) so she entertained us by getting each of us to introduce ourselves.. i talked to those who sat around me, and there's even this girl who has the exact same name as Liu Yiqing... =__= lol omg.

Students' age range was from 14 to 18.. i think. I was talking to this 18 year old -- sorry i forgot ur name =.= -- about choosing between JC and Poly. It was kinda depressing when you realise you never can make your own decisions. Sigh, but let's not talk about that.

After all the interviews were over, we stuck around for this drawing session. No its not an hour of Crayola. Bascially we each had a piece of blank paper, and was given the theme of Valentine's Day. I contemplated. Comic strip, or image. Gory, sweet, anime, or plain qian bian? In the end i handed up this scene of ppl protesting against V-day. it's kinda simple and real badly sketched, but the idea was there. Flower shops were on fire, and Vday gifts lay in a pile like garbage.. Ppl held up signs, fists, and sticks of fire.... Yeah.

Afterwards, i met my parents, and i told them about it. My mum was entirely mortified by my "creativity". How i could draw something like that for a theme so sweet as Valentines Day, she could not fathom. I tried. "Mum, it's art... You gotta be more flexible... Besides, its not even all that irrelevant."

Its nothing, if you bring it up to openminded ppl we have nowadays. But i guess ppl of another generation really do think differently. After i tried to convince them, my parents thought i was boasting myself "thinking out of the box", and gave halfhearted encouragement. I did not try anymore.

Anyway later in the day. I received The Call.

"This is from the (dunnowhat) Tong Xun Yuan place.."

I was so goddamn happy. Ahah. Sweet success, finally. After don't know how many times i tortured myself predicting my failure. Whoots. Whoots. I was damn happy, yes. Then, she said.

"So can you please come down on Thursday 8.30am?" HUH???

"But i thought my interviewer said that Ying Xin (orientation and welcome for us noobs) was next week?"

"Yes, so next week would mean the coming Thursday...?" (It was a Saturday)

Oh shit.

Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit.

I forgot that for the rest of Singapore, they only have a one week holiday. They don't have the extra Learning Journey week like us RGS girls to squander our time away.

So it would just make perfect sense that he was referring to the coming Thursday -- Saturday for this camp. Oh shit oh shit oh shit.

I'VE GOT OSL SELECTION CAMP.

-smacks forehead- im sorry. =.=

Well both are important to me. Equally. I know you can't have the best of both worlds, but this is not relevant in this case because being Student Journalist doesn't affect going OSL, really. =.= Luckily, the two camps are not of equal importance. There is a difference, yes.

Because i already got into the journalist thing, and the three days is only orientation, it naturally weighs less than OSL selection camp. I gotta go, man. After all that trouble? And miss the selection? No way. =)

So i'll just tell Si Lei i can go on Friday 3pm after camp. =) -cross fingers- i wouldnt wanna miss the fun. =)
