SECOND DAY!

second day of the workshop was WAY better than first day. could actually sort of keep awake throughout the entire day.

started off the day walking with jessica to the spects stand and we crapped a bit about how we will steadfastly NOT CRY no matter what those ultra motivated people brandish us with. then went off to collect textbooks with em tan and flew by the canteen.

bumped into leong xy my old old old tablemate at the canteen and she was all flustered as she asked:

Leong: "eh seline what was the announcement mrs goh just made? "
Me: "oh.. "
Leong: "where did she say we have to go to for assembly? do we even have to go?"
Me: "oh erm actually.."
Leong: "and i don't know where our class is supposed to meet at. what did mrs goh say?"
Me: "...there was an announcement..?"

siyun the bystander then started banging her head laughing and calling her god seline. em chua and yanlin both took turns insulting my lack of social awareness and hearing. -.- what NICE classmates we have.

...........

turned up in the wrong attire and had to "run one round" (i could never pronounce that :/ ) to kickstart the day. turns out claud was in shirt too and so jf accompanied us and we "ran one round".

we learnt quite a number of interesting stuffs today! about our own personality and shits.

turns out i'm a natural S/I! which means i'm supposedly:

- Stable and steady (not very sure about that considering i'm not exactly that good at maintaining balance. xD but i guess emotion-wise, this part is true since i hardly ever get really emotional. )
- Super-nice ( contrary to what people think, i really don't think i am all that nice a person. :/ )
- Sensitive to other people's feelings ( okay this one is super duper true. for one thing, i hate seeing people feel left out and would try my best to make conversations with them. for another, i hate it when i see someone making another person feel bad. it makes me feel bad too and i'll then try my best to be even nicer to the person. haha DIE not making any sense here. )
- Shy ( one word. DUH. seldom ever take initiative for anything)
- Secure ( not really. more towards the insecure side )
- Status Quo ( sure thing. don't like to stand out. )
- Sympathetic
- Possessive ( so not. in fact, i think i try too hard trying NOT to be possessive)
- enjoys simple pleasures ( haha yeah. am so easily contented! *nods* )
- rigid to change
- easily distracted
- indecisive (hell YES.)
- disorganised ( OH MAN. my room. looks like it has been wrecked by a tornado again, even AFTER i tried clearing it 2 weeks ago)

biggest fear: change and conflict.

quite true. i go to all lengths to avoid conflicts because i know that once such things occur, friendships will never be the same again and it'll be really tough to revert back to what it once was.

which is why i've been trying my best to resolve those minor conflicts between you two but somehow it's not really working and i just take flight. :/

.........

anyhow, jf is an I/S and I/S and S/I are opposites which attract! no wonder we get along! xD

zijin and hilary are both C/S/I. apparently critical, calculative, correct, factual, neat. HAHA DAMN correct. no WONDER they keep arguing like nobody's business. like poles repel. :D

em chua and roxanne are fellow Sses. as expected. they're so damn bloody nice!

after that our group started playing retarded games to KILL BOREDOM which included shouting "vagina" as loud as possible in a circle and broken telephone, which is somehow or rather, always screwed up by me. :D

jf and i then started acting smart and tried to compete with each other to fill in the blanks from the lifenotes they provided us with.

it started off innocently and quite accurately but as the lines went on, it got too difficult for us and we started filling in crap. laughed like lumps of shit when the answers were flashed on the screen and we found out how far we were from it. was amusing like mad! xD

zapped home with jf through the park and i briefly lost my ability to speak!! rah. :/ must be the doing of some magical web that i accidentally ate unknowingly or something.

THIRD DAY:

okay freak birmingham just scored.

anyway, last day was boring again!!

coach talked to us about studying techniques and i ended up dozing off. so much for being MOTIVATED.

the rest of the day was a blur except the part where our group played FRIES with miss poore and it was so freaking hilarious the way she stamped her foot upon losing.

wanted to run with jf and train up for monday's 2.4!! but due to unforseen circumstances/communication breakdown, we had to shelf the plan. :D

afterwards, we braced ourselves for a supposedly reflective/emo closing time at the drama studio as a whole cohort. didnt happen though. was so surprised that they didnt even mention a word about reflecting on our lives and what we'll do if one day our parents or friends leave the world or something.

watched quite a touching video though, and some people went up on stage to share their thoughts on the 3 day workshop and ended up in tears.

the speaker(EDIT: as in the stereo speaker, not the person speaker) in the drama studio came crashing down halfway and broke the atmosphere sort of. this is the freaking reason why st nicks have to go for PRIME ASAP. roofs are falling off in the library, speakers are succumbing to the pull of gravity and i swear, any moment now the walls are going to start collapsing.

anyway, was desperately trying to pat the people around me who were in tears but remained relatively dry eyed myself. hmm i really don't cry easily. in fact the last time i cried when people were around was in primary 2, when i slipped and fell and hit my head on the sharp edge of a chair.

caught a ride home from jf's mother and slept for an hour. how effective the workshop was. *scowls*
