Angel and Mortal

My Angel from my junior class gave me a note today! So happy because girls have guy angels and vice versa so I was quite worried that my angel would be someone who wouldn't bother playing this game.

It's a simple note on foolscap paper with not-very-nice handwriting in blue ink.

He said he gave me chocolate but I think it wasn't fastened properly to the note so it got mixed up. In the end, my chocolate got given to Timothy by mistake. So sad! But I'm still happy that my angel bothered to give me something.

My mortal hasn't written back after I wrote to him 2 days ago. Hope he replies. If he doesn't, then I'll just continue writing to him, until I'm quite sure that he won't reply at all then I'll stop writing. How long can I keep up writing to someone who doesn't reply?

Anyway, I'm just glad that I have a nice angel. I'm a nice mortal so I'll write back. If only I had a nice mortal too.

Horticulture

Horti is planning to have a delivery venture with TJC. So TJcians can order flowers for their friends in VJ while Victorians can order flowers for their friends in TJC. Just now, Jean from TJ, who's in charge of the entrepreneur club we're working with suggested expanding the project to NYJC and TPJC as well.

I really support this idea. It's great! I'm all for it.

If we do it well, it'll be a great success. It involves 4 JC and a whole lot of people and flowers. And if people like the idea, our juniors can continue doing this years down the road and I'm so proud of it because it's my idea!

It'll become some sort of tradition on Valentine's day. Like how it's tradition to celebrate teachers' day and chinese new year in schools.

And I was the one who came up with it.

Of course, we have to be really careful. If the orders get mixed up, it could be a great disaster.

I told my teacher about this. She's not supportive of it though. When I first propsed the idea of working with TJ, she was quite pessimistic about it. Somehow, she keeps thinking that this venture won't be a large scale success. She thinks it won't be very welcomed by the students. She's kinda conventional in that way. Very safe and doesn't want to take risks. In the end, she allowed it anyway.

Now that we're planning to expand the project, I'm not suprised that she's not in favour of it. I reasoned with her that I was certain the response would be good. Then she relented by saying maybe we can work with tpjc and tj. Ok, at least I got half of what I wanted. She still left it up to me though. If I went ahead and did all 4 schools, she wouldn't be able to stop me. But still, it would be better to have her approval.

If we don't get to do this now, I will never get a chance to do it again after I leave VJ next year. Then I'll regret not doing something that I have confidence, would be great. At least if I fail this time, I'll be satisfied knowing that I tried my best and not have any regrets.

I asked Jia Yan and Melissa about what they thought. Both of them are in favour of it. But Jia Yan thinks we should do tj and tpjc only. I agree too, cos after some thought, 4 jcs may get too messy. 3 is just nice. So I decided that I'll tell Mrs Chuah my decision tomorrow and hopefully she'll give us her support!

Running

I was never good at running. So when I realised that we had to run for gym training today, I wan't particularly looking forward to it.

But somehow, I was in the mood for running and it seemed fun. We ran 3.2km in total (for the girls). Guys ran 5.2km. If the juniors weren't here and I had to run with the guys as the only girl, I think I would have have been able to run the same distance. But slower, or course.

Cheryl and Ngang Ju were slower than me. It's expected cos they haven't started training yet. I was kinda happy though, cos it made me feel like I was the best. Haha. But of course it's because I've been training one year more than them.

After the run, I felt my legs ache a little. I know it's going to be more painful tomorrow...
