Yesterday was Speech Day cum Arts Awareness Day cum Opening of the Arts Conservatory. So yeah, it was red day for my school and very,very much a big deal cos the education minister, Stella Ng and members of the press turned up. Needless to say, the school was careful enough to remind us again and agin to put on our best behaviours. Not to mention best smiles:)
The Speech Day programme was all right, the only gripe we've got was having to wait for about an hour before the actual programme started. Besides the Sec 4s, members of the public, the minister, Ms Ng and the press were present too. Speech Day kicked off with the presentation of a video chronicalling the school's history which for some reason, evoked this bitter-sweet feeling in my heart. This was followed by speeches and prize-giving. Being a person who has more energy than all comets of the universe put together, I soon grew rather fidgetty about having to sit on my butt for hours. Not to say that the programme was boring, it's just that I grow restless easily.CONGRATS TO MY SQUADDIES FOR HAVING RECEIVED THE COLOUR AWARDS!!!
I joined the manga-drawing competition for Arts Awareness Day this year. Drew the character I had been developing over the past month but stopped for a while to join my class in our class dance. Ah sheeh, some of the dance steps slipped my mind but heck I had a good time. As for the competition, I did not win a prize because I couldn't finish colouring in time. That's okay because I participated in the name of fun.
Then at 2.30pm it was There and Back Again(home)

I am a deviant. I hate conformity and I do things differently from others. In terms of dress, style, thinking, creativity etc that is. It's much better this way. Throughout the years in school, I've come to realize I never seem to be able to fit in with my peers. Blame it on the different wavelengths. Like all youths, I yearn for the acceptence of my peers too and have tried various ways to earn this. I've changed my attitude, opened up more and socialised. It would be a major overkill to say this was not successful because my relations with others did improve by leaps and bounds. But strangely, something was still missing. A prolonged period of pondering led me to the conclusion that I know my peers only on a hi-hi basis, nothing more intimate(don't think dirty lah) So there's still something about me that does not quite click well with others. That's when I realised I had enough. Improving my character has been tried already and I didn't quite get what I wanted: To be a social butterfly. Not to say I'd become an anti-social; it is still vital to be on good terms with everyone. What I mean is that I just have to accept myself for who I am. Someone who thinks different and is different. It's not like it is a crime to be a non-comformist is it?
Coming to terms with this has made me feel better about myself. I understand that I am simply of a different wavelength from others but at the same time, I know this is not a good excuse to alienate myself from my peers. I'm proud to say that since coming to Crescent, I have found some really good pals e.g my squadmates(the silicon electrons!) and Shyan Juang(Michiyo-san!). These friendships shall always hold a special place in my heart for I was a loner once so I've been there, experienced that.
WELCOME, WELCOME ALL AND SUNDRY TO MY 4TH BLOG!!!!!!
I am so glad this blog is finally done. Especially the lovely blogskin, which is dedicated to Tidus & Yuna, my fav anime couple. Believe it or not, it took me about a year to do that skin! That was because I worked on it little by little whenever I had the time(and mood). I wanted to create a really pretty blogskin, but unfortunately, I did not have the tools to do so. For one thing, we do not have Adobe Photoshop 7.2 so I could not download any brushes to spruce up the skin. That was one major stumbling block. The breakthrough came when my Mum downloaded Photo College which has pretty good tools for manipulating pictures. And voila! The birth of this superb blogskin!
I got the idea for the blog's name the title of a book called This other Eden. So yeah, I replaced 'Eden' with 'Nirvana'. The names I pick for my blogs usually reflect my personality or thoughts. I like 'this-other-nirvana' because there's a mysterious feel to it and to understand me, YY Wan, you'll need a super advanced computer.
The format of this blog is so different from my previous blogs, no? In addition to the profile, links and archives, there's a Gallery where I feature pics I like. The tagboard is found way at the bottom. I may install a music player as well but for now, these will do.
Well, hope you're impressed! Do leave a tag before going off but make sure it's a constructive comment. Obscenties, vicious rumours and spam are not tolerated here.
Enjoy and do pop in every now and then:)
