Feels Good to Be Back

It's been a while since I blogged. Quite a while, I know. I've just been so caught up with school, studying, recovering, etc. Yes, recovering. I know most of you already know what I mean by recovering but for those who don't know, it's because I crashed while mountain biking at Putrajaya Challenge Park. I crashed about a week back on Saturday. Looked quite bad. But it wasn't as bad as it looked. Some of you may have noticed my walking around school with a mask the past week. It wasn't because I wasn't feeling well, it was because I was hiding my injuries. Didn't want to attract too much attention. Though the slash-like bruise on my forehead and love bite-like bruises on my neck -- that's what many people said -- attracted quite a bit of attention. Those were harder to cover up. This was me just over a week ago. Now, my bruises are all gone and my lips & chin are completely healed, if not a bit pink because the scabs just fell off. OK, maybe ...

Awakening the Leader In You

That is the title of the seminar I went to this weekend. It's part of the 5-session thing organized by NST & sponsored by Sime Darby. Yesterday, the activities were a tad bit boring because the activities were just the group carrying it out and then pasting it up on the wall. No presenting. It was fun, don't get me wrong. It just wasn't the most involving or challenging, that's all. Today, the activities were less group-based and much more individual participation. We did some personality profiling on ourselves. There were 4 categories; Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic. I know some of the names are not so pleasant but that aside, the activity was quite fun. Everyone will get a combination of two personality groups except the following combinations; Sanguine-Melancholy or Melancholy-Sanguine and Choleric-Phlegmatic or Phlegmatic-Choleric My combination was Sanguine-Choleric. Sanguines are very talkative, cannot sit still, hyper-active and ver...

A Wrap-Up of the Week

It's been a while since I blogged. I don't think I've blogged at all this week. Nope, I haven't. Soo... Hehe. Um. Wow. What's with all the damn one-word sentences. Wait, that last one wasn't. Hehe. Alright. To the actual point. This week -- on Wednesday, I believe -- we dissected a frog in Biology. Guess that makes me 'eligible' for the AVATAR program. Hehe. In the movie, the main character is asked how much laboratory experience he has and he cheekily replied, "I dissected a frog in high school once." It was kinda cool. I managed to use the scalpel and all. 5 Epsilon did it the next day, I think. In both classes, there were those who objected against the use of frogs -- or rather the killing of an animal -- for the sake of learning. Though they were a minority. I think. Besides that, I signed up for debate & public speaking. While Sharanya & QM were going around the school getting names, some form 3 went to them and a...

NST Seminar. And a Bit More

Tomorrow & today there was supposed to be a seminar on leadership. It is part of the Creative Writing course. But there was an emergency cancellation so instead of cancelling the seminar itself, they went on with it but only for today. That means no seminar tomorrow. Replacement will be on the 30th & 31st of January. I should be free. I don't want to enter anything for the school Sports Day & I don't want to go for Co-Curricular activities on a Saturday. Quite frankly, I'm not in the mood to participate in any of the Co-Curricular activities at the moment. Save maybe for debate through the English Literature Society & rugby but not really fond of going for Kadet Bomba. I guess maybe I feel that I have fulfilled my -- ah what the heck. Just say it. I feel lazy to go and that I have done my time with Bomba. There I said it. -Sigh-. Why did they have to do it on a Saturday. So lazy... I really want a full-face helmet and then to try out the course ...
