Oh dear... The last time i sent an entry onto this blog is like... last year!!! Ya, i'm horrible, i know, that's why i'm updating y'all now of what has happened recently this year :)

Ya, just like Phuong, i'm a qualified Lifeguard now. Hurray!!!!!! For those who took the test: Good job!!! For those who didn't take the test: thank y'all for helping us and supporting us!!! And for those who are taking test: good luck, you guys would make it just like we did!!! Oh no, i'm getting high again... hahaha

J2 has been busy, like seriously. Ha and I were involved in Orientation 1 and 2... Oh ya oh ya, i almost forgot to say: Orientation was truly a blast!!!! Though it got us all burnt and worn out, but it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that would surely bring up a spark in our eyes every time we look back.

And then there was the SAT that Trang and I took last month.. Though we're kinda prepared that we'd screw the test, for me, there was still quite a lot of stress upon taking the test. And ya, the result didn't turn out very well, but for someone who didn't study anything like us, bet we'd own it in May when we're more prepared :)
And then Chinese new year came, with a four-day holiday, and Ha's birthday fell exactly on the 1st day of Chinese new year. We went to Labrador Park to have a small party, and ya, happy birthday Ha, though it's already 17 days over, haha :)

And then Valentines came in peace, meaning, there was no scandal among the 4 of us, or at least that was all that I'd noticed :D

Now, term exam is like coming.... in 4 days' time, oh no!!!! Study hard, ok? I know we'd make it through, just like we did to all the major exams that we have had so far. This is already our last year, so press on girls!!!!

Ya, so this is like our A level year. Put in the best effort, girls, let's all complete our race with passion, tenacity and integrity, let's all run this race like we've never run before, let's run so that at the end of the race, you could just like fall down, like you're dying, knowing that you've put in the best you could and finished it...

.... Who knows, this might be the last year we stay together as one...

qualified lifeguards!

I AM A QUALIFIED LIFEGUARD FROM TODAY ONWARDS! yes that means that i passed my BM (Bronze Medalion) test!

theory test was okay (i applied what i studied from the lifesaving manual and mostly my own COMMON SENSE to answer all eight questions in the paper given!). i was super nervous before the 3:15 test (for your information, 3:15 test is the test that requires the candidates to swim 50m, rescue the casualty and tow the casualty back to safety within the time limit of 3 mins and 15 seconds). i'd never met the timing before during practices. but amazingly, despite the muscle pain ever since mass pe on thursday, today my timing was 3 MINS!!! i dont know whether the swimming cap really helped or whether i was so scared of failing BM that i stripped, swam and towed that fast! the rest of the items after 3:15 were easy, because there were no timings taken.

what made me even happier is that all the nine of us who took the test today passed! victor actually didnt make it at first, but the super nice examiner gave him a second chance and with zhi yong's assistance, his timing was 3:09! good job victor! haha we all screamed like mad when the examiner said we were all qualified! i like that examiner! he was super lenient!

after the test, all of us (including those who didnt take the test as well) went to dover market for lunch. haha i dont know why we always go to dover market after all e tests that we've taken so far. its not like e best place to eat or whatsoever, but its just super nice to stay there with my lifeguards friends talking, camwhoring, and creating scandals! haha lifeguards is super scandalous now! there're so many couples! haha and king raymond aka haohao is really popular!

oh i realise that i can talk so much about lifeguards! i really love acjc lifeguards very much! haha i've been saying this for many many times, but i still wanna say it again!

hmm after cheryl, tiffany, perlin, and huihui pass their BM, we'll go out to celebrate again! and this time, the celebrate will be much more grand/grander because we'll get our certs! go acjc lifeguards!

happee phuongg!

im like super happy now, and i seriously have no idea why i am happy! sometimes i just cant understand myself. this week has been a busy and tiring one with a lot of things happening at the same time. i was like always tired and sleepy everyday. the only time when i was more active was during lifeguards training! when i joined lifeguards last year, i never imagined that there would be this day when i loved lifeguards so much!

hmm i was blog-hopping just now, and i visited blogs of my cca friends. hmm i noticed that they blogged a lot about lifeguards! reading their blogs made me realise how much they are proud of acjc lifeguards ad being a part of acjc lifeguards. so i just feel like blogging about lifeguards too, because i am, just like my cca friends, proud to be an acjc lifeguard!

although i hate myself being such a blackie becauce of swimming under the hot sun three times a week (especially during saturday trainings!), although im very worried for my skin allergy, although i never want to have arm muscles and huge thighs, i dont know why i just cannot not go for trainings. to be honest, there are times when im super lazy to swim, but i still go to the pool just to watch my lifeguards friends swim.

having trainings three times a week cannot be considered often. each training also lasts for only 2-3 hours. so in fact, we only spend about 10 hours with one another per week. hmm 10 hours? thats less then e time i spend with my classmates in a day! okay it is true that i love my class and most of my classmates, and i also love my friends-and-non-friends friends, but i have to admit that as a whole, i love lifeguards the most! [classmates, friends and non-friends, please dont be mad at me!]

bm test is next saturday. i hope i wont fail! i've never met the 3:15 timing before! omg im scared! from now until then, i have 3 trainings left! i promise i'll train as hard as i can, and do my best during the test. we can do this together! looking forward to march camp!
