I know i haven't updated for so long, and yes it's indeed partly not my fault. The perfect example of advanced technology-- Computer!! My internet connection didn't work for like 4 days and when we finally called in the techno guy today, he clicked the 'connect' button AND it connected!! Miracle! He must have had some...u know....what u call it 'magical touch'. Anyway whatever it is, he still needs to get paid! Boo :( [trying HARD to 'always look on the bright side of life']. But hey it wasn't from my pocket money. lol :D

So, I must say something. First and foremost to all my old-and-gold friends, i LOVE you guys. U guyz totally rock my world. Seriously it's so fascinating, isn't it? That it is in the making of new friends that you cherish your old friends...... A simple message/sms from a familiar face literally plasters a smile on my face. Somehow the feeling of nostalgia, it hits hard and it hits right! But I'm enjoying this feeling. The feeling of getting to mix around and make new friends, and at the same time your current friends make your day in their own simple ways. I don't know why but my mood has been great, especially today, so am looking at things in a really bright and optimistic way! And am telling you, things look and sound so much better from this viewpoint!!

Being exposed to a completely new place, brand new atmosphere, a whole crowd of unknown faces -- definitely intimidating at first. But slowly as am making my way round the JC and mingling with the people, I feel great! The people are great, I've made lots of new friends. At the end of each day, I've learnt so many things---both academic and non-academic. I have so much to bring back with me, while i come empty-handed at first. Of course its not like every single teeny-weeny bit appeals to me or something, but seriously on the whole i think its fantastic. Quite challenging--i love this kind of challenges.

And going to Drama & Debate Auditions have definitely helped to give my self-confidence a very-much-needed Thumbs Up. How i performed does matter, of course, but it's not the only thing that matters. I got to make new friends, something really cool, and I got to learn so much from each and every one of them! Everyone is really so unique, I don't get it why only certain people end up being 'popular'. In my eyes everyone has got a really Ultra interesting side to them. The debate audition was ultra enriching. We all shared our viewpoints, encouraged each other, had a fun time together, and yet at the end of the day we're so much more aware of certain things and sensitive to particular issues than we were at the start of the day. Exciting! I am seriously loving it. Though like every other human being, am feeling downright nervous of the audition results. okok calm down--- the most important thing? I had F.U.N =)

For me, my days at JC are getting better and better, and I really hope they stay this way. I hope each of you has a GREAT time wherever you are. Just be more open-minded and U'll realise there are so many happy things all around us.

Have a nice time, everybody. Adios.
