It’s a Small World After All…

Yay! I’m 17 now! Goodbye Sweet Sixteen… My birthday was on the 17th of February. (I notices that lots of ppl are having birthdays around this time). It was generally fine. I recieved presents from a few good friends, as well a few unexpected ones. I got a new pencil case, wallet, watch, necklace, and earrings (that I can’t wear cuz I haven’t had my ears pierced yet T_T ). Didn’t get cake this year cuz I’m started to think eating too much will be fattening. Then my elder brother came back during the weekend and gave me all of the first 3 Harry Potter movie’s DVD!! Yay! I knew he was already going to buy it for me cuz I’ve been bugging him to. He has after all started working… It’s about time he payed me back. Did you know he has never given me a birthday present before… Well this makes up for all those years.Lol, not that I’m condeming him or anything. My 2nd bro’s birthday in on the 27th, but he’s too busy to come back (or so he says…). We were thinking of going out for a meal together to celebrate both our birthdays, well guess that won’t happen.

~Joycelyn~ is now 17!

Damn this week has been such a busy one. First I had the flower sale on the 14th, now the next day is our Orientation Day on the 15th! 2 big thing in a row! This year’s Orientation was held in the main school’s hall, which is MUCH better than last, when it was in the branch school, in the middle of the cark park, and under the hot sun. I was representing English Language Society again, so I broght along my mum’s laptop to show screenings of movies to the students (cuz one of our activities is watching movies). So many other societies also had laptops (who can live without computer these day?). We managed to get about 30 members (hope they’re not pulling my leg), which was ok I suppose. Even notice a few potential presidents that might help the society in the long run.
I love my society very much and I’d do almost anything to help it grow, I just wished people would take us more seriously. *sigh*

Valentine’s Day!! It would have been really nice to celebrate it with a special someone, but sadly I’m still single and availeble (not that I’m desperate or anything). Well, it’s spending time for all you couples out there, and I was there to cash in on that (don’t hate me cuz I love money ). The English Language Society of SMJK Chan Wa held a flower sale on Valentine’s Day, which turned out to be quite good. It was our first time during it and we didn’t know how the responds would be, so we only ordered 40 roses at first. But after during some publicising, quite a number of ppl alredy placed orders. I had to run around town trying to find another flower shop to buy more roses, on Valentine’s eve. *sigh* Tough job but someone had to do it. Rushed back to school to begin wraping the flowers (oh, and did I mention I had to pay for everything, cuz the society had no funds) with my fellow members. On Valentine’s Day, there was such a huge crowd as we also provided a delivery service. At the end of the day, it was hard work but it all "payed" off, as we were sold out and managed to make a big profit. Thanks to everyone who showed their support!

~Joycelyn~ not feeling sorry for ripping off ppl

It’s been so long since I’ve writen here. Well, what can I say, Chinese New Year has come and gone just like Christmas, only slower (but not slow enough). Had an overall great time. Visiting was fun, nice to be able to get out of the house and go somewhere other than school. My uncle and family stay over night as usual for reunion dinner, had the 2 little kids in the house (but had to give up my room for that). Not that I’m very money minded or anything (maybe a little), but I noticed that ang pau money has been reduced for some ppl I know who usually are very "generous" (if you know what I mean). Well, the economy must be getting worse (best accuse for everything, huh?). But surprisingly, my dad is giving more instead (shhhhh…). Had a little bad news in the family recently, but hopefully everyone will be able to pull through, with God’s will. Well, with that, we enter the new year (again…) and enter …..FEBRUARY! Love this month, not only is it the month of LOVE, but I know quite a few ppl having birthdays in this month (hint hint *wink* *wink*). I just love birthdays, gives me more reason to celebrate. Wish we could celebrate something everyday…
