No updates for the past few weeks because it's always already very late when i reach home. And somemore it's WEEKDAYS!! All because of school and my NCAP course. School has been dismissing later and later, there was once Mrs Chan even dismissed us at around 6.30pm. And I'd reach home at like.. 8pm? This is crazy.
I really might break done soon. Physically and Mentally. There're lots of things to worry about! Course is at every monday, wednesday and friday. 7.30pm-10.30pm. I always have to rush down to Buona vista immediately after school. And rushing is not fun, it's tiring. One more thing. I'm jobless now, cos i'm undergoing my course. I'M SHORT OF CASH. I don't really have anymore savings already, after paying fees for the Thailand trip on September, which was $200. Paid another amount of $900 for another course which i'm about to take after my NCAP course. And the rest for surviving and buying food to satisfy my hunger.
And yar, i'm supporting myself, which means, i don't get any money from my parents. I miss secondary school days.. Money is provided everyday. This sucks. August might really be the worst month for me.

Okay. Today is the start of my vourse. NCAP. Which stands for National Coaching Accreditation Programme. Anyway, Met Leonard at sun plaza at 11.15am, went to eat KFC for our "Brunch". Then headed for afternoon class in school. Well nothing much happened, just very busy doing the practical assignment. It was about Half and Full wave rectifiers. Haiz, Chimology.
Went to tampines mrt to meet Joel. But before that, went to the toilet to change into t-shirt and jeans first. Then headed down to Buona Vista together. Soon Derick came too, and then we started walking to the Civil Service College, which was the place where NCAP is held. And.. We were late due to walking the wrong direction.
Soon we reached the College, went up to level 3 and the classroom was full of people! Zhongyi was there already. We collected our textbooks and went to join the lecture. And oh my goodness. There were all kinds of people there, even ang mohs! Me and Joel were the only teenagers there. But we feel like a grown up when we're in the lecture! It's completely different from our school's lesson. In school, everyone is busy talking away or playing their PSP, NCAP is totally different.. There is completely NO talking, even whispering! Everyone is busy taking down notes and paying FULL attention to the lecturer! Super serious..
Then then, there was this ang moh who keeps asking questions! Buay sian.. Always disrupt the lesson! People want to go home de sia. LOL. There was even a 60 years old man in the class. I'm young :)
After our lesson, i took mrt back myself and headed back for sembawang, then called it a day..

Nothing much really happened today. So i'm gonna post about my upcoming Thailand trip's details. I'm NOT going there to enjoy nor going there for a holiday, i'm going there for COMMUNITY WORK, helping the kids there to build a childcare center.
And life is not as comfortable as you think. We'll be sleeping on either grass or on the floor for 2 week, as we'll be at those kampong area, not the city area. Yup, there's no hotel, only villages and straw houses. And i'm not too sure what kind of food are we eating, because we'll be staying with the villagers. Which means, we use whatever they use, eat whatever they eat, and sleep wherever they sleep. Here comes the best part, the toilet. I saw some of the pictures of it during the briefing, it's really 5 times worse than a coffeeshop toilet. So yea.
Lastly, we'll be under the hot sun doing extreme work, which also means that we'll be perspiring the whole day. And i'm gonna get even more tanned. I DON'T WANT!!
That's kind of all. The place we'll be going in Thailand is called ChiangRai. Never heard of it, but looking forward to help the children there.
p.s. The people in ChiangRai don't understand english! Time to attend lessons. "Basic Thai".
