too old too fast
Look what I found on Youtube! RJC batch dance '08! I HATE batch dances! The only good thing about this was that there was no semblance of that hideous thing called "running man", which I could not do to save my life. Haha.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was, eh.. what happened to all the cool people? These kids really look daaamn enthusiastic to be doing all these hand actions. Why couldn't they have employed like the people from dance club to do the video or something. How uninspiring for an orientation clip.
The second thing that came to my mind was... omg these kids are so young. They're my brother's age. And I thought I graduated not too long ago.
The third thing that came to my mind was.. why do they always have to make us dance with boys! I hated having to do that. What if the boy you pair up with is smelly? You have to hold hands and blow flying kisses etcetera! yuck!
I still remember the "sun dance" and "rain dance" and dunno what nonsense dance we had to do in JC. And apparently at the end of the camp everyone had to go to some public area near the esplanade and DANCE. Omg so lame. Thank God my brother's birthday was that night. haha! Sheng, I know you went for that public dance thing and all of you got chased away by the security guard! Haha.

teenagers.
“I actually love teenagers.
I think when they are thirteen,
however, you should put them
in a barrel and feed them
through a hole with a straw.
And when they turn fifteen, you
should plug up the hole
and let them die.”
Mark Twain
Sometimes. That's exactly what I wanna do to my cell group kids.
Morbid. But true.

Some Updates
On the last day of my holidays, I did a very exciting Singaporean thing. Go and check out T3. Hahaha. The first thing we did when we parked the car was to ask, why are there so many cars here? Anyway, T3 only services a few airlines for now. Then we went inside and realized. Half of Singapore had decided to pay a visit too! Like us! Haha.
Anyway, there were loads of families just milling around and one million children running all over the place trying to kill themselves by hanging over banisters and jumping down stairs. Yikes. Hate kids. And loads of malay families with mother,father, brother, sister, uncle aunty, 3rd cousin, 4th nephew, godma, grandparents and god grandparents sitting all together at the viewing mall, short of a tent and bbq pit and some of that East Coast sea breeze.
The Singaporean crowds aside, T3 looked like something straight out of an artist's impression drawing.
See what I mean?
Super big, sparse, bright, fluorescent.
Loads of fake plants hanging from everywhere fused with futuristic structures
Departure.
Really looks like a drawing. Can't stand it.
See, loads of space! I don't understand how space constrained Singapore finds the space for This!
This is Brewerkz with its large beer canisters. So happening one, they have brewerkz in the pre-departure hall.
And Gelare! If I ever fly from T3 I will check in 2 hours earlier to shop and eat at all the restaurants. Haha. Ben Liew says must go on Tuesday then can get waffles at half price.. sheesh.
Futuristic and purposeless water feature in the centre. But it makes the whole place look nice and er.. flow-ey.
I think this is the ultimate artist's impression picture. Haha. It does not look like it really exists!
This is what makes up the ceiling of T3. Apparently the shafts or whatever you call them are supposed to channel solar energy or something.
And I told you about all the families right. These people aren't waiting for arrivals. They're local tourists. Like us!
Anyway school has started and is already starting to deplete my energy. Thank God I don't have to go to school on Fridays. School is just quite tiring. I mentioned to someone the other day that i've never been in a school environment where I don't feel comfortable being myself. In secondary school everyone was just well, typically girls' schoolish and mad and crazy and what not. In JC, school was too big to bother to hang out with anyone other than people you were comfortable with. So val and I just spent our days together and I think my class was made up of a rare bunch of very unpretentious people. So it was great. But now, everyone comes with their own baggage cos we are older. And everyone has been through a shitload of stuff before coming into uni and meeting each other. So we all start off trying to get to know and understand each other with all these layers and layers to us. As a result, it becomes so hard to be yourself around people because it's just so hard to really know the core of the person. Everyone has developed their own minds, judgments, critiques, ways of thinking and it's just that much easier to be misunderstood. Plus, you feel like you only know people in one context - law school. Cos you've never seen them with anyone else or anywhere else and everyone's knowledge of everyone is pretty much disjointed. Not like a whole picture. Only few of them you have known since JC or even secondary school and even then, they must have change quite a lot since then.
So stiff and claustrophobic school is. I don't know if anyone feels the same way. But school work wise, I have a feeling this sem is going to be horrid. I feel so inundated with work even though it's only the first week. Probably cos I know very little of what is actually going on. Well, time to kick in my diligent boots and do something about it! Haha.
Bye!
