Sunday, April 29

A MEMORABLE SUNDAY.

i love sundays.
it's a great day of rest, tv-whoring, and family time.
today's service was in memory of uncle Fred, who has gone to be with the Lord.
the service was rather solemn, and everyone was tearing up,
vyl nat and i teared when we saw the video of tribute.
when we went up to the coffin to pay our last respects, nat started crying like crazy.
which led vyl and i to start crying yet again.
but, oh well, he went with such a peaceful smile on his face.
and i'm glad that we've interacted with uncle Fred one way or another.
came home and wasted my day.
glued myself to the teevee, and i watched 55 all the way.
channel 55 is the ultimate best.
the family watched the re-run of miss singapore universe.
had a great laugh at bad english, funny and totally irrelevant answers, and bad walks.
final PI is due tomorrow.
gotta get started, like soon.
and it's like what, 11? how screwed am i?

!THE SEASON'S BIGGEST NIGHTMARE.

our match yesterday got postponed to today morning due to the rain.
so karen.gwen.kk.jolene and i headed down to toa payoh to buy skirts to the season.
we got painfully jealous when we reached kallang netball court on wednesday, to find most schools wearing pretty fluffy skirts.
so karen's mum sent us all the way to toa payoh, it was a super fun ride. we kept getting lost here and there.
then after getting the skirts her mum had some errands to run so we headed to the playground, and started re-living all our childhood fantasies.
MJ got thrashed terribly by HCI today morning.
i can't or don't even want to remember the score.
but we all knew that we would get thrashed, so we went up against them,
hoping we could add a little challenge.
we've got to beat pj on wednesday in order to get into the second round,
or else it'll be the end of the season for us.
miss choy wants me to work on my fitness for next year's season.
she wants me to be 'perfect' for next year.
run more.jump higher to catch rebounds.you know, that kinda stuff.
come on baby, lose the fats.
i say you say we say what.

i'm very extremely proud of myself today:)

during pe we did interval training.
so we ran one run together as a class.
did warm ups.
and we had to run 3 more runs.
just that since it's called interval training,
we have to run one round first by 2mins20sec.
then rest for 30 secs.
then go for second round by 2mins20sec too.
then rest for 45 sec. then go for third round by 2mins30sec.


i'm so proud! i finished my first round in a whopping 1MIN46SECS.
like woohoo!

i think never in my whole entire life i managed to do that.
just that i didn't go or second round,cos my whole left leg crammed up from my butt downwards.
so did some streching, then went for third round.

and third round, had to do my 2mins30sec.

I GOT 1MIN53SEC!


ahahaha! i thought i was like gonna not meet 2mins30sec. but i did!
:)


seriously, i think playing netball, and exercising so much has helped my body.
well, usually when i go for caraven, i'll be so tired even though i managed to catch some sleep before heading down. then once i go to tuition, i'll soon find myself falling asleep like how BERDIE TEO WEI LONG used to be in sec 4.
but reccently these 2 weeks, i've not even felt tired during tuition, i could still manage to point out mistakes, ask questions, and understand maths.


:)
game against HCJC tomorrow!




you are my god, my life my all
and i live for you alone.
i am yours,
evermore.

HAHAHAHA.
JUSTTOLETYOUKNOW.

in my class, there's a group called the "baikar"gang.
cause we're always injured at the same time.
sprain ankle. knee pain. sprain knee.
there was like a period of time where we like came to scchool wearing knee guards and ankle guards.

so, everyone in my class understood what the word baikar gang meant.
except fazall.

SO.
today, while walking to the LT,fazall commented" sylvianne, i think you should not be in the baikar gang. cos you don't look fierce and aggressive enough. you're to sweet looking to be in a, in literal english" BAD CHILDREN" gang.
HAHAHA. he totally misheard it as "baikia".

it 'twas quite funny.


school was dddddddrrrrraaaaaaggggggggyyyyyyy today. so boring.
so during the first amths lecture, in order to look as if we were doing something, i started to play the games in my gc, (or in the poh and berd's language, my LAPTOP). and everyone in my row followed suit. everyone was like helping each other to get to the next level and stuff. but jonas stole my calculator, so i started stoning to sleep.


econs tutorial was fun!
miss lin( youngyoung eecons teacher) came up to me and suddenly said
" sylvianne, you were from tk right?"


AHAHA. HOW DO THESE PEOPLE KNOW SUCH THINGS.
SERIOUSLY, SHE;S THE 6TH PERSON IN MJ WHO'S COME TO ME AND ASKED IF IM FROM TK.

she said it was very easy for her to tell that i was from tk.
it's the TK face.

ahaha. at least i brought something out from tk?!


we're talking about boobies.periods.cramps.&wombs now.
HAHAHA. IT'S AMUSING.
& berdie's name on her IC is
BERDIE TEO WEI LONG.
i'm serious. what a cool friend i have.

A'divs start tomorrow! can't wait.

to the cross i run,
holding high my chains undone
now i am finally free,
free to be what i've become.
-undone.


i don't really fancy the stress. well, too much stress makes you pissed off.
and everytime, the first thing that comes to mind is 'the failure' that i will be. why can't i ever think of how 'successful' i will be.

help me, God.


this week marks the start of A'divs,
did i mention how excited i am?!
all the leaving school early, being transported to kallang netball court, tying each other's hair, and just being competitive.
for me, this is a first. and i'm super thrilled!
can't wait=)

this week also marks the first tests that i will be having.
schedule pretty tight this week.
maths test, training. taf. submit PI. game. chemistry test. game. (and the list goes on).

you may want to pray for me, that i'll start loving jc life, and i'll start getting my life in check(as what i'll tell jonas), and lastly, i'll survive this week.

love!

MPL-ed with poh and berd today.
t'was fun.
studied quite a whee bit.


saw many tk people!
and it brought back memories of the 3 years spent in tk,
gosh, i miss tk!
i knew i told myself last year that i won't miss tk.

you know the weekend's here when you've got 10 major goals to achieve on your to-do list.
this is so sad.

BUT

i can't wait for the 'study-session' with joyce and berd tomorrow!=D







training was fun today. it's no more the super stressful trainings.

and i think this is because this the first time we're playing together as the team for A'divs.

today's training was full of spurts of uncontrolllable laughter, and spurts of giggling because of every single mistake we made. even miss choy and miss lee were tickled. miss choy's gonna go down to some warehouse to buy netball shoes for us. we got into a frenzy of throwing netball shoes all over the place, use our team mate's one as a rough guide for our feet size.

the shoes cost a hefty 140$$. but we're gonna be paying 80$$ only.

we've got a great teacher in charge cause she is so willing to go all around singapore to but stuff for us. she's gonna get us the square cut fbts too.

first game on wednesday. against IJC.

i'm super excited.

i'm so proud, this is one team i can call my own.

i'm back from school.
one of the few early days that i get dismissed at 3.25pm, after a loong pe session.
had 2.4 today, rather disappointed with my timing.
17minns.

in sec 3, i was like 12.smtg, sec four, 15.smtg, and now, 17mins!
[it's okay, napfa is still 3 weeks away]

i'm trying desperately to get at least a silver.
cause, my school being a mugger school in academics and PE. YES PHYSICAL EDUCATION.
if i don't get a silver, i wont be able to play games in the third term.
oh ya, you know my school has MAKE UP PE LESSONS.
haha. make up classes for lit, econs, maths, chemistry is totally cool with me.
BUT MAKE UP FOR PE IS TOO EXTREME FOR ME.
the ahning had to do make up pe lesson at 630 today, cos apparently this guy from their class forged his parents' signature. or sntg like that, and so they had to do make up.

didn't go for taf today. woke up at 630.zoomed around the house, and managed to catch the 650bus.
miss lim(my taf teacher in charge), was so sad i didn't come. she said she missed seeing me. haha, and since i would be doing make up tomorrow, she said ii should just go to miss yeow's group instead. haha. she's quite funny.
all our PE teachers are super nice la. i like them!=)

i've got caraven later at 730. and ive not startted on my homework.(berd pungseh me one).
and i've got training tomorrow.
and i've got to do make up for taf tomorrow at 630, i think i'll probably just run at 1pm while waiting for training.
i've to do my 3 draft for PI. it's so crap.
and study for maths test. and chemistry tests.
and find my freaking functions notes, tutorials, and assignments and mindmap that i had freaking done already.


and i need to
study.

on your speakers okay! beautiful people, beautiful pictures, beautiful song.





i cried alot when i saw this video.

it's just that nostalgic feeling, the feeling that make you want to go back to secondary one to relive everything again.

i don't know why i'm feeling like this. but the video brought back a thousand and one memories. and i found myself, shamelessly crying in front of the tv screen.

mummy was also tearing. the person who objected my interaction with them in sec one acctually tearred. she teared cos she saw how we've all grown up together, how strong our friendship is and just the simple fact that we're still together.

they're like my best group of friends.

of course, i've got poh and berd too.

but our friendship is just different.

we can just meet like once in three months, yet once we meet, we click like how the north pole attracts the south pole. our friendship is really and truly, magical.

& I LOVE THEM SO SO SO MUCH!

Sunday, April 15

The poem-War Photographer has certainly invoked feelings of sympathy and anxiety towards the innocent people who were dealt with the negative outcomes of war.the tone of the poem has certainly invoked this feeling in me as the tone of the poem is rather solemn, and heartfelt.this tone is rather consistent throughout the whole poem, thus it allows my feelings to be established een at the start of the poem.in the first stanza of the poem, we see how the photographer who is responsible of taking especially war photos, and how he feels upon seeing them. 'in his darkroom he is finally alone, with spools of suffering set out in ordered rows. this first two lines gives me the impression that he seems to be want that quietness that he is experiencing. it seems to me that as he takes the pictures on the war-torn ground, he's surrounded by the badly injured soldiers and the innocent civilians dying on the roadsides. yet, once he is in his darkroom, it has somehow become a place where he can slowly analyse the picture, yet feel the emotions the pictures invoke in him.'ordered rows', somehow tells me that the photographer is trying to brings order to everything that he keeps a record of, or what he interprets from the photos that he takes.the similie that is present in the fourth and fifth lines is that he treats his develpoing of pictures a job equal to a priest preparing to intone a mass, which is off high seriousness. thus,in this case i find out that he treats his job very seriously.in the second stanza, i find out that the photographer hands' "which did not tremble then though seem to now'. the 'then' refers to the time where he was taking the picture. the imagery that is portrayed here is a photographer who at the scene of the battlefield, who has to maintain calmness and his emotions as if he is overwhelmed with emotions, his hands will most likely shake, and he will not be able to take a clear, focused shot of the scene. however, in his room where he is able to express any emotions that he feels upon seeing the photo.thus, his hands start to tremble after seeing the magnitude of the damage caused by the war.the imagery portrayed here is a sense of calmness versus a strong wave of anxiety.in the third stanza, the photographer recognises the man in the photo. i feel a sense oif pity as the photographer recognised and remembered the cries of the man's wife. i feel very sad as i can imagine how the photographer had to use his camera to capture all the vivid feelings during the times of capture, and yet once he washes the photos, he has to deal with the emotional trauma once more.lastly, i feel that in the fourth paragraph, the editor picks out from the hundred pictures, also known as agonies five to six pictures. it seems very much as a matter-of-factly thing.'he stares impassively where he earns his living and they do not care'.the imagery portrayed here is somewhat a 'heck-care'attitude, impassively refers to "without emotions". thus,the editor does not sympathise with the sufferings that is portrayed using the pictures. as the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. thus, these people treat all the photos with an indifferent attitude, choosing to notcare about the people living somewhere out in this world, yet suffering due to the consequences of war.the whole poem is in the present tense, thus it signifies and allows me to feel that the passage is very real due to the fact that i feel that the war is concurrently going on at this moment of time, and yet we are living in such a comfortable environment, free from senseless killings and continuous explosions.this just enables us, the readers to be overcome with grief and sorrow and anxiety for the people and what they are going through now.though this poem was written int he year 1955, we, as the reader somehow feels that the poem is very real. thus, all in all, the tone of the poem is very solemn. and it's aim is to allow us to look at the perspective of the photographer,cause many a times we are all so interested and overly-exposed to the victims themselves.we are never asking ourselves, about how the photographer was feeling or how it felt after re-viewing all the pictures. this poem clearly shows us all the emotions of the photographer. thus, i can say that this poem is highly successful in invoking our sense of anxiety to how the photographer must be feeling, yet we feel sorry and pitiful for we see the painful final moments of death.

hey!:D

lesson today was rather a"right-on"topic. something that i needed to share for a loonng time, 'twas regarding how is it possible to have so much love and care and patience for your friends, but such impatientess, such ill-tolerance and such a unloving attitude towards my sisters really, the phrase" your family knows you the best", is one that i feel is the most truest phrase ever.



rushing literature critical appraisal essay now.
i'm kinda cheating, but really, who cares.


poh: it'l sound super cliche BUTBUTBUT, follow your heart.
i'll support you in every decision you make!
lovelove.

and remember i blogged last week, telling poh, nicholas, and natalie to enjoy their first day at poly orientation.
i've got another person to add to this list.

dearest poh & BERD, happy first day of school tomorrow.
you'll all do super fine. i know,
while i try to rush out essays after essays, tutorials after tutorialss,freaking chinese zuowens,
(OHSHIT, I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE CHINESE HOMEWORK TO DO).

you all probably be sitting in lovely comfy chairs, playing around using your laptops, and taking photos with your new found friends.
(&don't remind me that you all don't have to take chinese for the rest of your lives already!)


i should stop psychoing myself that jc was the wrong choice.
seriously. like what berd said, JC was not an option, it was kinda "the route" that i had decided since sec one.
well, accept the fact that you're living in the stressful, yet fun JC life, syl!
STOP PSYCHOING YOURSELF SYLVIANNE DEVAJOTHI.

HEY!

training was killer today. freaking hot and we HAD to play all four quarters.
but i got into the team!:D
however, therre will be a fnial 2 cut from the team.

please cpmtinue praying for me.
i really hope/want to get into main 12!:D
thank you.
but i'll trust God cos i know he's got that special plan for me.


so i've been going to school with a ankle guard for two days( thanks lily-anne)
and today during training, i got tripped by my GS. and i scraped my left knee so bbadly.
it's like the size of three 50cent coins.

karen was like teelling me how my skin was still lying on the floor.
gross shit man.
had to sterilise my leg, and the whole team was so nice! they kept singing so that i would be distracted when the irritating iodine was smeared all over.
double gross.

so both my ankles are injured.
i'm wondering how i can run 4.8km tomorrow.

sigh. lots of things to do. so little time.
(or maybe i just cannot organise my time properly)

i'm currently rather depressed.
and i mean it.

good thing, well hopefully no one from mj reads my blog.


i'm very vexed! about alot of things.
selections is the super first. SIGH. my minimal chances of hoping to get in will be crushed, cos there's a freeaking good player who's gonna comee for selections tomorrow. that's hopefully her CCA teacher will relive her from her other CCA. it's the intimidation that just drives me crazy. and as selfish as it sounds. i want a spot there.
sigh, all my littlest hope.

life's unfair.


conversations i am having with my classmates this few days have been revolving around one topic- relationships.

i've come to the point of asking my friends
" so how many girlfriends/boyfriends did you have?"
oh wait. let me rephrase it
" how many gfs/bfs have you had, then u categorise into the 'serious' and the 'playing' ones. okay?"and then usually, the answer will be of a really large number.


and if i ask them what's actually the difference between the two, it's a word commitment.


sigh, is that how the world's revolving into?
somehow i feel rather intrigued by this fact.
what do you think?

TRAINING WAS COOL.

though it was tiring, physically and mentally challenging,and extremely exhausting with muscle aches like crazy.

supposedly to have selections for A'div today.
but too few people turned up.
SIGH. I WANT TO GET INTO THE TEAM.
i mean who doesn't.


so we played a game without the WAs, and miss choy threw us into the hands of ms lee.
the killer teacher.

we had this 4 rounds around the track= 2.0000000kilometers.
and it's not just a slow jog.
it was a freaking sprinting run.
super tiring. but i loved my class!
they were on the field and they kept cheering me on!
sweet!

we thought the nightmare was over after that rounds.
BUT

we were lead to the fight of staircase.

routine 1: run up the flight of stairs and jog down.
3 yes THREE sets.

routine 2: run up the flight of stairs, now doing it by taking 2 steps.
3 sets.

routine 3: stretch our looonnng legs to climb up 3 steps at one time.
3 sets.

routine 4: jump with 2 legs on each step.
yes, ANOTHER 3 SETS.

you know, i came to the stage of feeling like you're gonna die, but you'll survive in the end.


then,
25 crunches with our legs in the air.
3 sets.,

20 pushups.
2 sets.

andandand 2 sets of the irritating, most streneous exercise.
LEG RAISERS.

my shirt was freaking soaked thru with sweat.


then some of the J1s stayed back to practice on courtwork.

selections will be on wednesday AGAIN.
praypraypray for me.
thank you.

how cool is this. a post about training.
and did i mention i sprained my right ankle 2 times during training.
what the la. always right ankle.
and i have the sickening habit of shaking the leg, and carry on running.

NOW IT FREAKING HURTS.





i ran 5 km today!

haha. received lots of homework from him.
but i'm glad at least there's someoneto help me, or else i'll prolly be a lost sheep, getting stressed out for every prac.

whatever happened to not blogging.
well, i'm quite stressed out. like sigH.
SO MUCH THINGS TO DO DO DO.
SO LITTLE TIME.

which some people may think i'm super contradicting, cos i'm saying i'm stressed, and yet on the other hand, i'm like blogging.

had the greatest of times with poh and berdo today.

seriously. i'm so glad i made the effort to meet them.
met up for lunch at miss-U.
and we totally cam-whored with poh's apple.
from the restaurant all the all to berdo's house.
well, technically, they're just directly opposite each other.

pictures are alll in poh's possession. i hope she'll be a real beauty to send me all the pictures.

we each had a super satisfied, happy feeling after the mini photoshoot. haha.
it's a kind of super sense of satisfaction.
don't ask me why. but that was how we each felt.
:D



I LOVE AND ADORE MY FRIENDS!
thanks for the great stress reliving day out today.
love you:D

Thursday, April 5

what a joke. the blog that had been set up on the intent of me blogging every single day is now gonna be like dead. i'm seriously weird. it's been a few months and i've decided once again, that blogging is not the thing i want to do. don't laugh at me okay. the so called talk of wanting to maintain this blog has died down.

somehow i feel, there's still a level of superficiality in blogs. no one is able to actually fulfil the main aims of blogging.- & it's to freely speak your mind, saying how you feel, and why. we're all so constricted to the "what ifs". 'what if that someone reads what i've written about him./her.', aand then a whole list of drama unfolds.


well, not sure about you. but i am unable to write what i really feel in my blog posts.
and i am a person who needs to write what i really feel.
notice how all my posts are so superficial, and they just speak of the daily routines of life.
nothing else. it's like i have to check my words before posting cos i don't wanna insult or hurt anyone.

so, it's off to the old school diaries for me now.



so take care people!
and maybe once i get a boyfriend, i'll start reblogging.

okay.
that was so random.

:D
