Usually, it takes months for me to be close to new classmates. It's strange, but I feel like I've known my current classmates for years despite it being just a month. Could it be because of the time spent on our projects? With so many projects, it is inevitable to work with different people each time. I realise the group dynamics vary drastically with different combinations of people. 

But honestly speaking, it's kind of scary how fast I've grown close to my friends in my class. It's like there's this fast forward button being pressed. Just about a month ago, I was hoping so desperately for my classmates to be friendly and that I'd be able to befriend everyone - maybe if I'm lucky, get a close friend or two. But now I feel really glad that I've made many more friends that I'd expected. Everyone's really great to talk to. I've also made close friends too. 

Time flies and it's going to be June soon. Hopefully, I'd be able to meet my ex-classmates. I miss them so much. My current classmates are great but it's different, I guess. I can't compare the two groups and I won't do that. But I admit that I miss being with the girls in G1. A mixed school is really, really different. Guys are easier to talk to actually, but my previous class did not have as much drama - which could be tiring sometimes. I suppose that's partly why I can never compare which class is better. Both are as awesome. 

Looking back, I've changed. I used to have quite a strong personality in class since I was the class chairperson. I was also used to being a leader since I was the Vice President in my CCA. I would always try to take charge of everything, organise everything and leading others. Contrary to that, I'm now more of a 'follower'. I don't know why, but I find that I'm now able to have more fun with my friends, since I don't need to think of the welfare of the class anymore. There's no more attendance taking, no more pep talks, no more discipline issues to tackle with, no more events to organise, no more workshops to attend. In a way, I'm much more laid-back now. It's a wonder how people change, isn't it? Or could it be my way of adapting to the environment?

The weather is getting to me. I was well on the road to recovery when I fell ill again this week. I don't think anyone noticed that I was plagued by a slight fever or that I'm now having flu a second time round. There's still the annoying incessant cough too. I blame the weather.

I wonder if I'm that easy to read. Many have told me that my face gives my emotions away pretty easily and that I wear my heart on my sleeve. A few were unhappy with me for not confiding in them though. I don't know, but I find it difficult to talk about how I feel exactly if I don't feel that close to them in the first place. It sure doesn't help that my those around me know when I'm sad and that I don't share my thoughts as openly as they hope for me to. But I'm trying. 

I've been busy recently. There's yoga, French and the training for SP Experience now. Not that I mind. I find it fun to be able to take part in the SP Experience programme. It's just that there'll be a French test coming up soon and I'm kind of worried about that since I'm not clear about the French verbs just yet. As for yoga, the inverted poses made me really giddy yesterday. The giddiness developed into motion sickness when I boarded the train home. Hopefully, I'd be able to sleep off the headache by Monday.

That aside, I'm a little worried about the CAs for the remaining two modules. The two that are the most technical: De-constructing Television and Visual Communication. Well, I'm trying to get a hang of DT now. But I'm kind of bad in Photoshop for VC. I need a crash course.

另外，我好久没有讲华语了。。。一年没利用到华文，语文能力已经退步许多了。几天前，有位阿姨问我怎么到附近的地铁站。明明是想带路陪她去地铁站。可是因为自己正在赶时间，所以就只好试告诉那位阿姨往哪方向走。可是我好像完全忘了怎么讲华语似的，一直吞吞吐吐地和她沟通，不停地试把自己讲的英语翻译成华语给她。结果不知道她明不明白我在讲什么。好丢脸哦！

It's not right for me to say this, but I can't help but feel a little left out as my friends all take part in SYF in their respective schools. SYF was such an important part of my life previously. Now that I need not give pep talks, gear myself up for grueling practices and rehearsals, I do feel slightly empty when listening my friends talk about SYF or choir. 

As much as I wish to join a choir again, I doubt I'll get a chance to do so. There isn't a choir in my current school. Well, Juniper did ask if I was interested in joining Wild Empire. But I really can't decide if I should quit my guitar classes and try for that instead. I know I could shift to another guitar class, but it'll be tough to manage if I were to have so many activities. I'm still thinking about it. Maybe I should audition for Wild Empire first or ask if Ms Ong wants me there. I've not sang for a year already. 

Aside from that, I went for the yoga lesson with Shahida yesterday evening. It was painful but it felt sort of relieving and fun stretching my body. I don't really have any muscle ache when I woke up this morning. My body just felt like it was stretched but it's not the usual agony I feel when I run after a long time. Not those kind of muscle aches. Those are horrible. 

Yoga is kind of fun, but waiting four hours just for it to start isn't. At least I had my group discussion for my CSM CA1 at the Hilltop Haven so it wasn't so bad. But what am I going to do to fill up my time for the coming weeks? I guess I shall bring my novels with my beloved ipod. Or maybe I could try to watch the TV shows my friends watch: stuff like How I Met Your Mother, The Vampire Diaries, and Desperate Housewives. My progress is kind of slow though - I'm still watching the first few episodes of HIMYM. I don't really watch shows with so much kissing or flirting actually. But there's always a first time! Maybe after watching more, I'd finally be able to understand all the innuendos the rest of my friends seem to know about.

Then there was also the failed plan to watch the movie 'Source Code'. The original plan was just to catch the early afternoon show at Cathay. Unfortunately, we couldn't agree on another movie when we decided not to watch 'Source Code' anymore. Quite a few people decided not to go too and we ended up with just Elijah, Matin, Zi Wei and me. Somehow, the four of us ended up at the bowling alley where I watched the boys bowl. Zi Wei also managed to learn how to tie his shoelaces that day. It's kind of weird how 'watching a movie' turned into 'let's go to the bowling alley'. Pascal even predicted that we would end up not watching a movie in the end that morning. His prediction actually came true. But it was fun nevertheless. 

Now I just need to find someone else to watch 'Source Code' and 'Rio' with me.
