So there was GuZheng playing (of which I'm really starting to appreciate) by one of the girls from 303, guitar by one of the guys and Chinese painting by (one of which was Z.Z from 302~!) two others as well.

 The sad thing was there was this riddle game in Mandarin and I couldn't understand anything but the occasional number or ren... And yeah, the entire thing was conducted in Mandarin so there was quite a few quotes I found hard to catch. But it would be in Sonal and Ivan that one should place their pity. Really, they must have understood less than I did; and I was already quite squeamish. (Squeamish might not seem appropriate to fit into this context, but I assure you it is)

 I also thought of a few things... I mean, I am Chinese. And I know little on my culture's history or background. And even less about its traditions... I do know the basics, stuff on Chinese New Year, do's and don'ts, and Why It Is Not Okay To Wear Black During Chinese New Year.

 I'm now studying in the study room. With the distraction of my warm, comfy, bed, it's hard to get anything down and I just collapse every time I open a book. It seems to work, I managed to get in one solid hour of studying... (Wow!)

I've just been asked to be an mc for Monday. I was to be someone who would 'fill in the blanks' within programmes, a way of introducing good spoken English. (In which I was to use difficult adjectives to describe events. Strange, considering that I'm more familiar with expletives than adjectives. And not that my spoken English is any good, compared to 90% of the school population. I'm so nervous, Mrs. Yap said that I was to be a model student which means pinning up of all of my hair, making me look bald and through the use of a hairband, making me look even worse than I already do. Not a very good prospect. I don't know what to do.. I feel so nervous, standing in front of a school I barely am part of and making a speech in front of hundreds of equally bored people as if I know what I'm doing. Which I don't. So I hope I can make a prepared speech.
It's going to look good on my testimonial, so I'm taking it up.

I'm also going to enter a Science Research Programme which will take up about two hours every week of my time. If our results are good enough, we get published in Science Journals. And it will look just as good on my testimonial. So yeah...

And with all that, I have to balance my studies.. It shouldn't be that bad, considering that I have two years to prepare myself. Might as well undertake everything for experience this year and focus on studying, and studying alone the next.

Gah. Someone should just shoot me.
