Isaac's birthday party

2008-12-20T20:36:00.006+08:00

I feel so unwell today. My nose is in a total riot. It feels as if it's going to blow anytime soon. I'm in a sneezing fit right now. It was an extremely sunny day today which made it worse. It was very windy too, however.
I had an argument with my mother yesterday night that left me in tears. Oh well, I should quit thinking about it already.
Here are the pictures from Isaac's birthday party at his house in Jln Kayu today. It was pretty fun - he has a pet chicken. Totally ridiculous, I know, but unique. His bungalow is like a "petting zoo".
More pictures will be uploaded soon, including Isaac's pet rabbit and chicken when he sends me the shots in his camera from the party.

Hui Yen about to go down the slide in the playground near Isaac's house, with Jerome playing his PSP at the front.

The roof of Isaac's house. Way back into the old days huh!

The road below the Jalan Kayu Flyover through which we were walking past.

The route towards the church near the bus stop.

More pictures soon, I promise!

a 1-week-3-days hiatus

2008-12-18T16:42:00.015+08:00

Oh my. I just realised that I have not blogged for 10 days straight. What a record. Do accept my sincere apologies as for now, there's nothing to blog about too. I'm feeling so lazy and unmotivated. Maybe I always feel that way. When will I ever make up my mind and stop procrastinating and complete the last bits of my Social Studies homework?
Good thing there's still 2 weeks left until I walk through the gates of Ngee Ann Secondary School in my long pants and into a new class. I predict that it should be a freaky + embarrassing + funny experience.
This blog is also looking a little older with a layout that hasn't been changed for what? 5 months? But I really like it the way it is. Like what Hui Jie said, this layout is "timeless" :)

Alright, I seriously have nothing (NOTHING at all) to blog about ._.
Maybe I should list down all the reasons as to why I have not blogged for 10 days straight.
Here goes nothing:

I was away in Genting Highlands and boy, was the trip "awesome".
I just had to catch up on my Japanese animae - I'm a sucker for anime, you know that.
I lost a battle against the evil twin forces of procrastination. It's incurable, really.
I was busy finding nice songs on the Internet for my iPod to listen to on board the coach to crappy Genting Highlands.
I had a lame + stupid + (all other negative adjectives) Chinese book to read.

I designed layouts instead. Heheh. n_n
I was too busy eating peanut cakes. Okay, not a very valid reason, but I like peanut cakes.
Life is always bugging and annoying me.
You know what? I'm simply typing this for the sake of completing this list. Pathetic, I know.
Oh yeah! I was also busy starting another blog. LMAO.

places I have to visit before I die...

2008-12-08T02:07:00.006+08:00

So it was the usual story - I was bored and I went surfing image websites and I found all these beautiful shots of places in the world.

Provence, Southeastern France, France
The landscape is so beautiful. You have to check the panoramic image out.

Otaru, Shiribeshi, Hokkaidō, Japan
Just look at the gleaming lights and snow. The canal looks so awesome.

Manhattan, New York Harbor, New York City, New York, The United States of America
I have to set foot on this concrete jungle soon. The place is bustling with such exciting city life.

Dubrovnik, Croatia
How great can this get? I first saw this landscape while watching a season of The Amazing Race and I just had to Google it. Awesomeness.

I'll be updating this entry soon with more pictures of awesome places around the globe.

you make it real

2008-12-07T12:50:00.003+08:00

Long time no blog, I guess. I'll be leaving for Malaysia on Saturday so I'm going to wrap up all of my Social Studies homework soon enough. I'm still considering if I want to go Sentosa or not. I'm feeling so lazy.
Meanwhile, I have submitted a new layout to BlogSkins. I know, I do that so frequently nowadays. How unproductive can I get? Anyway...

Yes, a Paramore skin and it's submitted here. Once again, do comment/rate/mark as a favourite if you have a BlogSkins account or you can simply download it if you like it. Thank you!

movie marathon!

2008-12-03T17:56:00.008+08:00

I'm back from the cinema (with Hui Yen, Jun Jie, Yi Ren and Isaac) you guys! It was really wacky. We had lunch at Nihon Mura (a Japanese restaurant) at E!hub first, then we caught "Beverly Hills Chihuahua". I'm not going to give much spoilers, but the movie was quite funny. I like the part where Rachel tried to bark like a dog. Hahah!
After that, we went to Fish and Co. to accompany Hui Yen, Yi Ren and Isaac for their lunch (?). We then went back to the cinema to catch "Madagascar Escape 2 Africa". It was alright, and definitely funny. The fact that the giraffes in the movie try to kill themselves by digging a "dying hole" was hilarious. I also liked the part where the penguins made a fool of themselves. LMAO. King Julian was funny too, and the cute animal kept being chased by a shark. That was quite lame.
Alright, so I've caught two movies on my "to-watch" list already. I'm going to meet them again next week to maybe watch "Four Christmases" and "Wild Child". We switched to "Wild Child" because "Bolt" didn't seem very attractive (judging by the trailer). Anyway, I'll still be watching "Bolt" with my family, I guess?
(Thank goodness this movie outing was successful because I was the one who planned it, LOL)
p.s. Anyone going to watch "Hotel for Dogs" next year? I kind of like movies starring Emma Roberts. I watched "Nancy Drew" on a plane last year and I liked it. Hahah.

procrastination AGAIN

2008-12-01T01:16:00.006+08:00

RRRRRAAAAAWWWWWRRRRR.

I'm pretty frustrated right now. Alright, not "pretty", VERY. I don't even know how to solve my A Math equations. All that indices, surds and logarithms is driving me insane. I bet you don't even know half of what I typed. You see what I mean?
I still have to worry about that stupid Chinese book. I don't even feel like reading it. I mean, reading a flipping Chinese book and taking a Chinese exam on that flipping book is so depressing. I would so rather be in South Korea right now than here, thinking about all my half-done homework. Gee, I would appreciate it if someone would complete it for me.
I keep having odd sleeping patterns after I came back from South Korea. I should turn into an owl soon. Nocturnal, you see. I don't really like it though.
My body is so frustrating. I keep sneezing in the afternoons and it's so uncomfortable with my runny nose. Also, my hair still has lots of dandruff. I should really start "scratching" my hair when I take a shower. By "scratching", I don't mean scratch. It's more of a massage. And my toes always feel sticky. Whenever I wake up, my eyes will turn foggy and it's so irritating.
Enough of my rants. I'm going to bed soon. I'll blog tomorrow, perhaps?

all at once

A photo of our cell group in City Harvest Church.
We were posing at the staircase leading to the service auditorium.

all again for you

2008-11-27T01:11:00.008+08:00

Today was boring, nothing really happened.
I'm going to ask Hui Yen when she will be going out for the IT convention tomorrow.

vegas

2008-11-25T21:41:00.011+08:00

I'm doing my Math now. I just returned from a game in AuditionSEA with some of my friends from BlogSkins. Many say that my skills are beyond my level in that game. I guess all those years of typing have paid off. Alright, I'm going back to solving some pathetic questions. Should I leave it till tomorrow?

p.s. to Janet, come online now. Your blogskin is ready!!!
I should learn to play the guitar soon.

that's what she said

2008-11-25T00:52:00.002+08:00

I went back to school today to wrap up the SDMA submission for my group, but in the end something silly happened and we opted out of submission, which was VERY stupid, in my opinion. If I got to call the shots, I would just tell Isaac to add the text and submit, but he keeps persisting on not submitting because three other works were already chosen. Anyway, I don't really want to post about what happened today. It was totally silly. I even made myself silly to keep the tension low in that situation.
Since I have nothing better to do (well except Chinese, but who does that in the middle of the night? Well, OKAY, I'm procrastinating, whatever), I'll just reply all my tags. I didn't get a lot of tags in the week I was away, so that's good... I think?

Tag Replies:
passerby: Alright, in your stylesheet, find a property called #header-wrapper {. Under that, put a display: none;. It makes your header disappear.
Xiuyun: You mean the personality test? Yeah, it's indeed a lot. LOL.
huijie: I edited the post on the chalet.
Xiuyun: Thank you! I had lots of fun, hahah.
Itch: Yup, I kind of missed Singapore.
yiren: Well, it DID cover five days...
Jerome: I can see that. Hahah.
p3n9u1n: Are you even mentioned in every entry I post?
Itch: Thanks.
Regine: Hello! I'm glad you like the pictures and especially the skins. LOL.

Hate is just a word for somebody you love but no longer believe in.
(By the way, I hate ulcers)
I was just browsing quotes to help me think about the things that happened in 2008. This one is by Hugh Macleod. The year is almost coming to an end, and I just want to stop all this childishness and immaturity that is still growing in me. I'm sure that many things have made me very angry, but I'm also sure that I always use the word "hate" in my mind. This quote made me think about it. Why is there hate in this world? Is it because people don't believe in loving the people they hate? If they just believe in believing, maybe we can turn it all around, I guess. The "I hate ulcers" part is just to vent my anger on the ulcer on my tongue. I'm now trying to make it heal by eating salty potato chips. Argh.
Anyway, I'm very very psyched. When my parents went to welcome me back at the airport from South Korea, they told me we might be going back to Japan next year. You know, I simply love Japan, but I think I like South Korea more. But what the heck, we might be going to Hokkaido next year. But I kind of want to go Australia first. Hmm, I should learn to be satisfied with what I have now. See you in Japan next year! Hahah, I'm sure I'll have a great time.

pictures from South Korea

2008-11-23T21:46:00.005+08:00

Right, so here are some of the nicer pictures I took when I was over at South Korea. I'm not very much of a camwhore and quote Janet, "i have crooked mouth, 6 toes, squinted eyes and no hair". So, most of them are landscape pictures with the occasional "WHO DAT UGLY FACE?!". And no, I'm not trying to be thick-skinned or anything of that sort. Just take a look, I spent almost an hour editing all the pictures.

The scenery outside our Residence Hotel at Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province (I think).
It's just nearby Seoul, anyway.

This is me outside the hotel. Hui Yen took this picture, because if I don't take pictures of myself my parents will kill me for some apparent reason.

This is a picture of Seoul I took when I was in the coach. There's around four more took in the coach, I think.
It's right below...

This is the Han River, the main river that flows through Seoul all the way to North Korea. Quite amazing.

This picture was taken outside the restaurant where we had our ginseng chicken soup (in Seoul still).

The restaurant signboard is just right there.

Myeong-dong! The lovely place where Hui Yen tripped over a short pole and fell! Hahah. I'm such a sadist. I love this place though.

Notice Edward Cullen in the Korean Twilight poster at the back? I have a separate picture of the super huge cinema, but it was kind of ugly. I think I'll be catching the movie soon with Hui Jie since it's showing in South Korea already, I think.

They were filming some lame show when the kids clustered around this mascot I intended to take without them. Spoilers, argh.

The Coffee Bean at Myeong-dong which has four floors. I remember having to climb up to the highest floor just to use the toilet.

Our shot in Myeong-dong! Too bad Jeremy couldn't take with us because he was eating his Baskin Robbins.

The sculpture outside Myeong-dong and in front of Shinsegae.

The Times Square of South Korea, I guess? Hahah.

Alright, so I had a fun time at South Korea. Hope you have a fun time looking at all these pictures. Hahah.

before the worst

2008-11-23T19:49:00.005+08:00

I spent the WHOLE day trying to complete my English webquest, but it is still not done yet. I think I'll continue tomorrow. I took such a long time trying to find the information and relevant pictures. I'll be leaving for Malaysia in around 2 weeks, so I think I should wrap it all up (my homework) by then? Chinese is almost impossible for me to finish within 2 weeks, so I'll leave it aside first. I'm now halfway through my Math and English, and that leaves Science and Social Studies, right? I think I better go by a schedule. The pictures will be up real soon (by real soon I mean later tonight or maybe tomorrow, if I procrastinate).

trip to South Korea

2008-11-22T11:33:00.023+08:00

Alright, so as I mentioned yesterday, I'm finally back in Singapore. I'll be blogging about the trip to South Korea in this entry. The photos will be uploaded soon, don't worry!

Monday (17/11/08)
My parents went to see me off when I went to Changi Airport T3 to check in my luggage in the morning. After the checking in of the luggage, we had breakfast while the rest went to buy sweets since their parents already rushed home after the photo-taking. When the break ended, we had to quickly assemble at the check-in point, where we bid our goodbyes and arrived at the customs to board the plane to the airport in Incheon. The plane is a Singapore Airlines plane which was supposed to fly to Vancouver and transit in Incheon.
When we arrived at the airport in the evening at around 6pm, it was already pitch dark in South Korea. The weather was also quite cold, but the wind was gentle so it was okay. Also, when we landed in South Korea, Jerome's handphone's LCD screen cracked. I think it should be something related to the Turtle Curse? Hmm... I think it's best not to talk about it right now. Hahah. We then took the coach to have our dinner after all the passport and luggage issues were taken care of. Our dinner was actually barbecued pork, which was very yummy. The Muslims went to eat at an Islamic restaurant. We took photos of the yummy spread of food which I think I still have it in my handphone. Hahah. After that, we just went straight to our hotels which was pretty boring because I forgot the room numbers of all my friends. Sigh, so I turned in early.

Tuesday (18/11/08)
We started the real tour on the next day. We had our breakfast at the hotel and it was hilarious. When we wanted to have our drinks, there was grape juice and orange juice, but the Koreans' English was so bad that they labelled the drinks wrongly. In the end, the orange juice was called "grape juice". When we went to take our meat dumplings, the label on the tray said "a fried dumpling". Hahah!
After our breakfast we took the coach to the National Museum of Korea. That place was huge, I'll put up some pictures of it soon. It looks grand and has a cool ceiling. The exhibits were boring, though. I was looking forward to seeing some paintings but in the end, it was all sculptures and historical remains of clay jars and stone carvings. Boring. Yawn! We went to take pictures at the stairs outside the building, but it was freezing cold and the wind was blowing like there was no tomorrow. The scenery was great though.
After touring the museum, we found out that we ended early and managed to go to an extra tourist attraction after having our lunch, which was ginseng chicken soup! Yum yum. We went to the shopping district of Myeong-dong, which was located near a super branded department store (Shinsegae, I think) and Namdaemun Market. There were a lot of stores with lots of labels like Adidas and Nike and the food stands sold really yummy and steaming hot food which was really good (in such weather like the one in South Korea, at least). However, the wind was merciless so we were eventually forced to go down to an underground shopping mall near the shopping district. I love shopping in South Korea, it is so fun! Hahah.
After that we took a one-hour long ride from Seoul to Incheon to go to the school (Incheon International High School). When we arrived, we were shown to our dormitory rooms and it was huge! Four people shared one room and there were two bunk beds. We then went down for dinner. The food was edible but not very tasty and Jerome gave us a shock when he saw the menu - he told us there will be snails in soup for lunch the next day. After dinner, we camped in our dormitory rooms for a while until we went down to the auditorium for their welcome performance. The school had an orchestra and a band which had electric guitars and drums, and a traditional music group. There was also a harmonica performance which was unbelievably great. I enjoyed the band's performance the most - they played to Green Day and Kelly Clarkson songs and the vocals were not bad too (but the Since U Been Gone was kind of a... disaster). The weather was VERY cold... still.
I turned in after having supper at the school's cafeteria, which I forgot to mention was really different than the canteens in Singapore schools. The food is presented like a buffet and the students just take their food plates and eating utensils and get the food from the trays. They dispose of all their eating utensils (spoons and chopsticks), food plates and soup bowls in designated trays. The waste food is thrown in some special container with a cover. They don't even have to buy the food! But I'm not saying that the canteen in Ngee Ann is horrible.

Wednesday (19/11/08)
We had our breakfast at the cafeteria that day. It was unusually cold for a morning and the breakfast was something like lunch, with vegetables and stuff. After that, we went up to the dormitory and prepared for a tour around the school.
To be quite honest, the school's facilities were really very good, but it's because the school is new (it was established this year) and thus the faculty is very small. Anyway, it was a bad day for a tour because the weather was just too cold. The school itself was very large and they had an outdoor court for games like basketball. The school also had a broadcasting station which I think they use to film videos for the school news or something like that. I didn't see any TVs around in the school though. The school's library was also quite cool as the seats and shelves make it a good studying place. They also had racks for newspapers and magazines. They also have a conference room where they hold debate sessions and things like that. Also, they have a huge gym with a transparent ceiling where they exercise and play indoor sports during winter. However, what surprises me the most is that they have a study room where there are individual desk with textbooks for them to study. The teachers also claim that they will study up till midnight, which was just plain crazy, in my view. Seriously, I think work weighs more than play in that school for the students, even though they have CCAs to make up for their studying time.
Anyway after the tour of the school, we went to the school computer lab to type in our comments for the blog. We then went to have a Technology lesson, where we had to assemble a car with a mouse trap on top. After that we went to have a Chinese lesson, which was hilarious because the teacher taught us to read the lyrics of a Jay Chou song. LOL!!!!! And she slowly read every sentence and also those words like "Oh" and we had to repeat after her. OH MY GOSH, IT WAS SO FUNNY. HAHAH! She even talked about DBSK/TVXQ (東方神起, some popular South Korean boy band) and showed us one of their music videos. How... strange for a Chinese lesson?
After our Chinese lesson we went for a Physical Education & Health lesson. The Singaporeans were up against the South Koreans in a basketball match and we lost both rounds by a notch. The way the girls played was super hilarious, no one was there to defend and they swarmed like bees after the ball. And Ya Xun was super funny, when she got the ball she just screamed and anyhow threw it to the South Koreans. Super funny, LOL!!!!! After that we went to have our lunch.
When we finished our lunch, we went to have an International Issues lesson (I think), but it was taught in English. It was about racism in America and was quite interesting. However, Jerome said that the lessons here were more interesting than that in Ngee Ann in front of Mdm Sharizah and when we were debriefed when our lessons ended, she lost her top and scolded Jerome. Hmm, it was actually quite inconsiderate of him to compare schools, but comparison sometimes helps us improve, right? But I don't think he should allow that fact to slip off his tongue, it's just very disrespectful. He even blogged about it, I think.
After that we went to tour the nearby buildings of the school, which was quite boring because I didn't understand half of what the guide was rambling about because I didn't really pay attention. But I know that Incheon is actually trying to become an English-speaking city like Singapore, but I think Seoul is more important for that? And I don't know why the school isn't located in Seoul. Hmm.
We then went to the Science and Technology Institute which was epically boring, no offense. Hahah. I was kind of angry that time because when we went to look at the exhibits, Wan Jing and Hui Yen were there and Wan Jing left when Hui Yen was taking pictures. I was looking at a map and when I finished it she was gone and I went up and down trying to find the students. It seriously freaked me out big time. Then, a man showed me the way to the Planetarium and I reckoned he knew I was lost since I had those expressions. Hahah. I mean, when Hui Yen left, she can just tell me to leave soon instead of just leaving like that. Plus, I'm in some foreign place and the thought of being abandoned is frightening. I was fuming mad then but the Planetarium show made me calm down. Thank goodness I didn't go crazy, if not bad things might happen. I was also angry over the fact that my friends didn't realise I was lost. I was mumbling the F-word under my breath when I walked to the Planetarium, to be honest. At least pangseh me in Singapore.
After we left, I was talking to Hui Yen and Jerome always tries to purposely get in the way. I'm fine with that if it's just jokes, but I didn't really have a chance to talk to her for the whole trip because when I do talk to her, he will tease us and say that we are a couple. I have no idea of what's his problem, but I guess it's alright. I don't really want to get angry over such matters.
We then had some rest and went to get our dinner and after that, we went stargazing with the Astronomy Club. We saw the constellations and they were beautiful but pathetic because the lens was so small. I knew that Aquila and Cassiopeia were constellations but I didn't really notice they were used to name the worlds in MapleStory. Hahah. Hui Yen wore five layers of clothing while stargazing and she couldn't even stretch her hand. It made me laugh my ass off when she was trying to. LOL!!!!!
After that we went down to have supper. I had cheesecake and some fruits, and I kind of remembered how I loved cheesecake last time. It's still as yummy as ever. Hahah. Then, I went to play basketball with Jerome, Jeremy and Sofee to warm myself up in the cold and went to sleep.

Thursday (20/11/08)
It snowed quite heavily while I was sleeping the previous night. When I woke up, the school campus was covered with layers of snow. It was so amazing. Hahah. We went to have breakfast and then I wrote messages on the snow with Jerome and Kiat Kiong. After that Hui Yen went down too and I also enjoyed the snow. Then, I had to rush up and get my luggage, until I realised it was actually SNOWING!!! I saw my very first falling snow that day. I tried to take pictures but the snow was not thick enough. Sigh, I'll get to experience that again, I'm pretty sure about it. Hahah! After some photo-taking and assembling, we were taken to Incheon International Airport to do our CIP. We had to pick garbage outside the airport under the chilly weather from gate 1 all the way to 12. It was tiring but fun nonetheless. I even went to The Coffee Bean to buy iced coffee, because it was so warm in the airport even after I did my CIP outside. After the CIP, we bid our goodbyes to the South Korean students and set off for a 1-hour ride back to Seoul to have our lunch. We had seafood steamboat, and the seating arrangements were kind of messed up and in the end I sat alone without my friends but with Wan Jing, Ya Xun and Li Hao. Ya Xun was being very nice by helping us pour the soup and giving my the squids. Hahah. Both of them were funny too. When we went out of the restaurant, it rained and the rain turned into ice. So it kind of hailed, but it only lasted for around five minutes. How amazing. Hahah! I saw my first hail. After eating, we set off for the Digital Pavilion. The technology there was very advanced but it was really very boring. After that we went to the Seoul Digital Media City where they had a presentation of their technology and we only walked around the first floor. Boring, yawn! By then, it was still very early. We took the coach to have our dinner, but there was a jam so it was delayed for around an hour. Our dinner was simply Chinese food and I had it with the teachers. Hahah! I kind of like Mr Lim Bock Boon and Ms Sayuri. Mr Lim is really nice, you'll find out why later. Ms Sayuri actually took the effort to pronounce my name. I was actually quite surprised when she knew what my name was when we arrived in South Korea in the first day.
After we had dinner, the real fun began. We checked in the hotel to put our luggage in the rooms and then we went out to take the Seoul Subway to Dongdaemun Market to do some shopping and enjoy the nightlife of Seoul. Hahah! Shopping in Seoul is really fun, honestly. We mainly walked the streets because the malls were actually wholesale retail outlets, that means all the nine floors are swarmed with clothes. I'm not really interested in clothes, hahah. I bought some food from the stalls to eat and without any doubt, they were yummy! They prepared the pizza and put it on a waffle. How creative. I enjoyed every bit of it, even if it has cheese. Hahah.
We then walked and walked and eventually, we ended up at a "Red Light District". Actually, we didn't really end up there. The Sec 3 guys told us it was there and Jerome was curious to go. Hahah. It wasn't very enjoyable and we walked away instantly after we saw some... explicit stuff.
When we went to take a look at the wholesale retail outlets, Hui Yen lost one of her gloves and it was nowhere to be found in the mall because it was clothes everywhere. We then went to Doota!, some shopping mall there and went to the basement because Jerome wanted to take a look at the Nike shop there. I almost lost both of the gloves Hui Yen lent me (she brought extras along) until I found it outside KFC. What a relief. Hahah!
After that, we shopped for a while more and then took the last train back to our hotel at Yangpyeong, where I talked with Hui Yen, Jerome, Jeremy, Wan Jing and Ya Xun about Jerome's relationships. We even stayed up until around 4 in the night talking about it and also some other random and irrelevant stuff. Hahah. In the end, we didn't even sleep at all and I was so bummed. I was also locked out of my room because Kiat Kiong got the key and I forgot to take it from him. He was in some hotel room having a night party with the other Sec 3 seniors and also didn't sleep. Hahah!

Friday (21/11/08)
It was the final day we were in South Korea. I skipped my breakfast to have some shut-eye. I lost my breakfast coupon anyway, and the buffet sucks. When I woke up, it was almost time to leave and thus I took a shower and packed my luggage to meet Jerome and Jeremy and go to the lobby. Everyone was so tired because they did not sleep, and Mdm Riza was annoyed because of their inconsideration. We had to wait for half an hour to get everyone down and when we took the coach over to the National Folk Museum of Korea, almost everyone was sleeping. The weather was exceptionally cold and the wind was blowing like crazy too, so we were glad to be in the museum. The exhibits were a little boring, so I spent my time at the souvenir shops buying things for my family. After that, we walked over to Gyeongbokgung, a palace in near the museum to look around it. It wasn't very enjoyable because it was so cold. When the tour ended, Mdm Sharizah wanted to find the toilet and went with the teachers. They took a super long time to finally get to the toilet and in the end we waited almost half an hour under the chilly weather too. We then rushed to get souvenirs at a store near the airport and I bought 50,000 won worth of seaweed. By the time we finished, it was already around 2.39pm and our flight was scheduled to depart at 4.25pm. When we reached the airport, it already hit 3pm and we had to check in our luggage too, which took an unusually long time. We finally finished checking in at around 3.55pm, which was seriously crazy. After assembling and doing a headcount, we went forward to check in to board the airplane. I was the last person to finish checking in and it was already 4.05pm then. The first batch had already rushed off, and I was feeling quite sad that none of my friends waited for me even when they knew they could catch up. Mr Lim, Kiat Kiong and Yao Hui waited for me even after they checked in earlier, so I was quite thankful for that. There remained about 7 of us only, with all the Muslim girls - Azra, Sherina and Hanis. We ran to the gate, but it was too far away so we had to take a skytrain, which was super troublesome. The most ridiculous thing was, we managed to catch up to the first batch but when we tried to run in the train, the doors closed on us. By that time, I was so freaked out already. It was already 4.08pm. Singapore Airlines even gave us a notice that they will close the gates 10 minutes prior to departure, so we had to reach the gate by 4.15pm! I was feeling so nervous then. They were already having their final call. When I was running to the gate, so many thoughts flowed through my mind. I was yet again angry that they didn't even realise I was gone. For that moment, I didn't even regard them as my friends. They left me alone throughout this whole trip, is that what you will call a companion? I was almost going to be stuck overseas, and they don't even seem to give their damn at all. I was sad. When we arrived at the gate at 4.14pm, I hastily went in and when the last person went in, the gate just closed. I was feeling so relieved, and I thank God for safely bringing the 7 of us back to Singapore. When the plane was moving, Jerome even asked Hui Yen if the 7 of us were back in the plane already. I seriously felt very offended - this really isn't a joke, I almost missed the plane if not for that 1 minute, and it is as if you and Hui Yen will leave the plane to find me. But I chose to feel relieved and I don't really want to care much anymore. I felt peaceful on the ride home, and I'm glad to finally be back in Singapore, blogging about this trip. I had a wonderful time anyway.

I'm finally home. I'm not that tired even after staying up the whole night last night without sleeping. Anyway, I will be blogging about the trip tomorrow. It was actually quite boring because I frequently got left out by Hui Yen and Jerome, and I was homesick all the while. The trip was fun too, nonetheless, because of the shopping and touring! I miss the students from IIHS. I miss the weather too, it was nice to have the chilly wind blow right in your face under a temperature of -3°C. I am being sarcastic, but cold weather is better than hot weather in my opinion. Also, the street food in South Korea is super nice. Yum yum.
After finding out about the PSLE results of the Primary 6 students, I think that many scored high marks this year, which is great, I guess. Somehow, it makes me feel inferior. But what the heck, I'm fine with my current school.
The ulcer on my tongue is killing me and I wonder when it will start bleeding again. Trust me, it's totally disgusting. I think I should sleep now.

city harvest

2008-11-16T17:43:00.005+08:00

I went out very early this morning. It was quite irritating at first because I stayed up till 1am with my parents last night to have supper at East Coast Lagoon. Anyway, I took bus 359 to the interchange and then waited for the MRT at the station until I realised I was too early. Tay Xi was still waiting for Jia Hui to board the bus and were yet to arrive at the destination. So, I just took the train to Tampines to wait for them. When I was in the train, Yi Ren sent me a message saying that he will be meeting me at the Pasir Ris station and told me to stay there. But, our trains just crossed each other. Aww, 真是没有缘分. It's good enough to be filmed as a drama, hahah! In the end, Yi Ren went back to Tampines and met me there and we saw Xinyi, Tay Xi and Jia Hui and we went up the escalators. When we were at Tampines waiting for the others to arrive, Hui Yen told us that she was going to reach Boon Lay already. Hahah! It was very funny because she would have to wait an hour for us to reach Jurong. Anyway, the others eventually came and we wrote messages on some name cards for Ailin and Jia Jun to congratulate them on their water baptism. We then took the train off to Boon Lay and by the time we reached there, Hui Yen already waited 40 mins for us. Hahah!
The cell group then walked over to the interchange and we boarded bus 179 to City Harvest Church to support Ailin's and Jia Jun's water baptism. After that we went to have lunch at some hawker centre next to Nanyang Community Club. The whole group took up a total of four tables to have their meals. It's so ridiculous, hahah! After finishing our lunch, we went back to the church for service, and it was really beyond my expectations. We got to sit in an auditorium which can accomodate hundreds of people in one session. The sing-along session was like a concert with its band that consisted of electric guitars and drums. To put it in short, it was an amazing experience. We then listened to Pastor Kong's preaching and he briefed us on the Asia Conference (which I highly doubt I will attend since it clashes with my trip to South Korea).
Anyway, I had a great time today but it was simply tiring. I'll be leaving for South Korea on the 17th (which is tomorrow). I hope you miss me! Hahah.

good-bye days

2008-11-14T18:40:00.024+08:00

I just completed a personality type quiz. In case you're interested, I got it here.

Here's my personality report:

Alright, so the results were kind of unexpected but I've guessed the "extroversion-introversion" part right. It's almost the same. I can be open yet I can also be private. It's too weird, I guess.

This is the description for being ENTJ...

ENTJ - The "Chief"
ENTJs are strategic, organized and possess natural leadership qualities. They are master coordinators that can effectively give direction to groups. They are able to understand complicated organizational situations and quick to develop intelligent solutions. ENTJs are outspoken and will not hesitate to speak of their plans for improvement. They are decisive and value knowledge, efficiency and competence.

About the ENTJ

Expert Quotes & Links

"ENTJs are natural born leaders. They live in a world of possibilities where they see all sorts challenges to be surmounted, and they want to be the ones responsible for surmounting them. They have a drive for leadership, which is well-served by their quickness to grasp complexities, their ability to absorb a large amount of impersonal information, and their quick and decisive judgments."

- Portrait of an ENTJ (The Personality Page)

"...have a strong natural urge to give structure and direction wherever they are -- to harness people in the field and to direct them to achieve distant goals."

- The Portrait of the FieldMarshal Rational (Keirsey)

"leader, ambitious, hard working, dominant, prepared, hates to be bored, confident, opinionated, analytical..."

- Jung Type Descriptions (ENTJ) (similarminds.com)

""Unequivocating" expresses the resoluteness of the ENTJ's dominant function (Extraverted Thinking). Clarity of convictions endows these Thinkers with a knack for debate, or wanting knack, a penchant for argument. The light and heat generated by Thinking at the helm can be impressive; perhaps even overwhelming."

- ENTJ Profile (TypeLogic)

"At work, ENTJs contribute a wealth of energy directed toward the goals and those of the organization. Their sense of identity is closely tied to how they carry out their responsibilities. They are curious about new ideas and theories, evaluating them in terms of their goals. They are very efficient, competitive, strategic, and task focused."

- ENTJ - The Leader (Lifexplore)

Okay, screw that. I don't really think that's very accurate. In fact, I think that some of those claims are ridiculous. Maybe I didn't do the quiz properly? I have no idea but "natural born leaders"? You've got to be kidding me. I think I'm not fit to be a very good leader. But, I don't really give two hoots about what people think of my leadership qualities, so in the end... whatever.
My nose has been running for the entire day. I wonder how I can get rid of these allergies. Sneezing is so annoying. I hate Panadol, I once took that pill and my cold persisted for two more weeks. That obviously contributed to my frustration.

Anyway, here is a (Japanese) song I have been addicted to for the past week. The singer has a flexible voice and I like the theme of the song. Well, here's the Japanese lyrics for your reference.

Good-bye days
YUI

だからいま　会いにゆく　そう決めたんだ
ポケットの　この曲を　君に聴かせたい

そっとヴォリュームを上げて　確かめてみたよ

oh Good-bye days　いま　変わる気がする　昨日までに　so long
かっこよくない優しさがそばにあるから
～with you

片方の　イヤフォンを　君に渡す
ゆっくりと　流れ込む　この瞬間

うまく愛せていますか?　たまに迷うけど

oh Good-bye days　いま　変わり始めた　胸の奥　alright
かっこよくない優しさがそばにあるから
～with you

できれば　悲しい　想いなんてしたくない
でもやってくるでしょ?
そのとき　笑顔で　"Yeah, hello my friend"　なんてさ
言えたならいいのに…

同じ唄を　口ずさむ時　そばにいて　I wish
かっこよくない優しさに会えてよかったよ

…Good-bye days

Don't even feel like blogging, but after thinking about some things, I've decided to type it out. My keyboard is screwing up on me, so it's kind of difficult.
I feel so relaxed. I'm actually happy to be away from the things that makes school the way it is - class, teachers, staying back to study with my friends. I don't really give two hoots about the assignments I have to complete during the holidays. I'm happy to be away from the pressure that always make me competitive. Determination, perseverance, confidence... I'm happy to not hear all these words anymore. Streaming year has been fun, but more of tiring. I'm happy that I don't have to hear all these "Hey, I did badly too" although you got higher marks than me, "I've got to work harder" when I got higher marks than you and "I have to chiong like siao, I'm not going to give in to Maple anymore" when the exams were coming. These six weeks are going to be something light on my shoulders. Sure, there's still the usual holiday assignments, but I feel as if I have gone through a turbulent school semester. I'm glad it's over. I'm glad all the thoughts that cloud my head during all my long bus rides home are over. I'm glad I don't have to think about how much my friends get for their tests and exams and take a peek at report slips anymore. I'm glad I'm going through these six weeks of rest.

I just came back from a Japanese lunch with Tay Xi's cell members!!! Hahaha. Actually we planned to watch a movie but we couldn't communicate so... lunch. I snapped a few pictures of them, but the group shot was in another person's camera so I'll have to wait till he sends me that. But for now (excluding all my shots), here are the pictures:

Hui Yen and Tay Xi in the restaurant!

Tay Xi as the ninja of the forbidden bamboo forest!!!

Right, it's only two pictures for now. Pathetic, I know, but there are some shots I took of Hui Yen eating an orange and Tay Xi which they said were not very nice, so I decided not to put it up.
I have tuition later. Aww. Good day!

gotta be somebody

2008-11-11T09:33:00.003+08:00

I'm procrastinating, still. I actually wanted to complete my Social Studies homework yesterday, but I ended up playing games and listening to music. Even though there's 6 weeks ahead of me, will I be able to finish the Chinese book? That kind of sucks.
I'm going to E!hub to meet Hui Yen and Tay Xi with her cell group members to catch a movie or go to KBox or something. I have tuition later at 4.30pm, which gives me even more hell. So I'll just complete my Math paper tonight.
Stupid stupid stupid. I need a timetable to plan it all out. This obviously won't do.

the life and times of...

2008-11-09T11:05:00.004+08:00

Another day in the boring + mundane + uneventful + uninteresting life of ME.
I'm bored, no doubt. I can't wait to board the plane and I can't wait to arrive in Singapore again. I can't wait to take the tour bus to Genting Highlands and laze around in the hotel till the dead of the night, waiting for my parents to come back from their gambling.
Most importantly, I can't wait to get the textbooks tomorrow. I need to complete all of my homework so I will only have the Chinese storybook to worry about. I don't even feel like reading Chinese. It's kind of like Greek to me. I still wonder how I got A1 for my Paper 2 for the final term. That sucks. Sigh!
My phone has a touch screen, too. It makes the navigation a hundred times easier. There's also a stylus at the side of the phone. Cool, right?
Right. The boredom kind of gives me hell. Oh well. I'll go hide in one corner now.

how you love me now

2008-11-08T21:20:00.002+08:00

I turned in super early yesterday, so I didn't find the time to blog.
So, I went to the briefing for the South Korea trip yesterday at school, and it was super pathetic. We went there to listen to the same things over again and we were dismissed like, what? 15 minutes later? A complete waste of my travelling time. So, we (Hui Yen, Jerome and Sofee) decided to head over to Changi Airport to walk around since we were already so far from home. We hooked up with Isaac at the airport and went to Terminal 3, then to Terminal 2, then to Terminal 1. It was a long walk but it was very fun. We kept snatching Jerome's Nerds! Here's a super lame conversation I had with Hui Yen, but the original one is in Chinese:
Hui Yen: Let's go to the hotel! (seductive look)
Me: Go to the hotel to do what?
Hui Yen: Drink water!!!
We tried to take a lot of pictures using Isaac's camera in timer but most of them were NGs. There was this uncle who just went up to us and asked us where was B1 or something of that sort. When he went down the lift later, I said he was going to take the lift to either P1, B1 or T1 (trying to mock him because I couldn't properly hear what he was saying). Then Hui Yen cracked a silly joke and said "PBT is PANG SAI BUAY TAHAN!!!" I was laughing like an idiot.
It was a silly day, to sum it all up. I went to buy my new phone today. It's a Sony Ericsson G900. I hate the fact that handphone companies like to name their handphones with numbers. It's just too confusing. I went to eat Fish and Co. today too, but it wasn't a very good experience because there was this sauce on the fish which I thought was cheese, so I scraped it off and felt disgusted throughout the whole meal... until Hui Jie told me (on MSN) that it was butter.
I need to take a shower.

the little things

2008-11-07T13:00:00.002+08:00

TEN things you wish you could say to TEN different people right now, without naming the person:
1) We've been so close through these two years, it's almost like we're not going to different classes anymore.
2) Be more understanding and sensitive.
3) Everyone can hate you for your ways, but your determination to change others is really commendable.
4) Have others' interests at heart, even if that means being more enthusiastic.
5) Don't be too shy and end up bottling your secrets tighter and tighter.

7) Lose your short temper and learn to accept things the way they are :)

NINE things about yourself:

2) People who are judgmental (e.g. looking from a single point of view).
3) People who are tactless.
4) People who hold unreasonably to their opinion.

1) Live life to what I think is the limit.

ONE last confession:
1) I LOVE YOU!!! (that was so corny!)

stupid premium accounts

2008-11-07T00:12:00.011+08:00

Do you know those sites where you go to download stuff like RapidShare, MegaUpload or something like that? I really hate those sites because they like to give fake messages about how my IP address is already downloading some other file or show a stupid ticker counting down to when I can download the file. Does that even make a difference, really? They can even say that the files that I have been attempting to download have expired and I can only download it if I buy a stinking "premium account". It totally drives me crazy.
Sigh. I think I'm going insane in this boredom. It's always like that.
School = stress and holidays = boredom. I can't wait to get my books and uniform. I have to get to school tomorrow, I hope I don't forget. At least I would be able to get out and about.
Sorry Tay Xi for forgetting to turn up at your cell today!!! My memory is failing me so badly.
I tweaked my layout a little. The new design was kind of "inspired" by my tagboard. It's weird, I know, but I think it looks nicer. What do you think? Leave a tag with your opinions.
I can't wait for the release of Taylor Swift's new album. Her singles totally rock (so far). I simply love "Fearless" and "You're Not Sorry". You should listen to it. I'm looking forward to Britney Spears' album too, but not too much because some of her songs tend to be great hits but the others turn out like crap. But I'm just too addicted to "Womanizer". Yay!

2008-11-06T16:09:00.002+08:00

I woke up at 1pm today. I was being so stupid by wasting a day away. The afternoon was spent catching up on TV shows online. I realised I've missed out on a lot of episodes ever since I stopped watching because I couldn't buffer the videos properly.
My dad bought me new earpieces for my iPod nano that I'm going to take along on the aeroplane ride. It cost me $55 for this, but let's face it, at this rate I'm going with this pair of pathetic earpieces, my right ear will go deaf in no time.

2008-11-05T16:47:00.011+08:00

Monday (03/11/08)
I met my friends at the bus stop at Downtown East and we went to check in and put our stuff in the chalet. Hui Jie gave me a call and said that she was over at the Escape Theme Park entrance and was lost, but we were too busy trying to check in. I told her to wait until we get her. In the end, the plans clashed and only Isaac ended up taking her over to the chalet. We then went to the NTUC at E!hub to get our barbecue foodstuff and such... we only bought five bottles of drinks, major mistake. It wasn't even enough to fill our bladders. We saw Janet and her cousin there and it was super hilarious... she held a radio and the Pictionary board game in a supermarket. When we were finding the food, it was super funny, Hui Jie took the soup fishballs to grill in the barbecue. I was picturing the soupy fishballs on charcoal. Hui Yen also gave me the spreading butter, which was... MARGARINE?
We then went back to the chalet to put all the food in the pantry. Hui Jie, Janet and Jessica went to have their late lunch while I played Pictionary with Hui Yen, Jun Jie and Yi Ren. It was so hyper.
When the girls got back with my Mars bar, they told us about a bitchy woman at KFC. The conversation went like this (I think?)...
Janet: Can I have this set?
Cashier (bitchy woman): Okay, that would be $7.20 (or $7.90? I have no idea).
Janet: But, there's a student meal in that set.
Cashier (bitchy woman): Oh, I'm so sorry. But you paid already. So, next time.
When I was eating the Mars bar, it suddenly plopped on the floor and everyone screamed. It's so lame but funny.
We then went to the park to cycle too because the heavy rain stopped. The weather was perfect to go to the park. The scenery was great. We were taking such a long time that my mother had to get the cake for us.
Fast forward to the barbecue (not really, because shortly after we had to prepare already). My parents brought along lots of delicious food, but Jessica was a vegetarian, so it was totally lame. When I went to get extra drinks, I went with Hui Yen and Pearlyn to conveniently buy food for Jessica. Janet was so irresponsible! We had a hard time getting food for her because she didn't want to choose. In the end, we had to speak up for her.
My brother was taking "orders" for the barbecued food for Yi Ren when he was watching TV in the chalet. In the end, Janet and Jun Jie told him not to take the food up because he was being lazy.
We then cut the cake and all that and my parents went home. We stayed up into the night playing Truth or Dare, Harry and Mary and telling ghost stories to one another. Freaky, I guess? We also played Monopoly, and I took such a long time trying to find the batteries. All the stores were closed, including Cheers!
There was one time when the door to the girls' bathroom could not be opened. We tried to use the keys to the chalet and we removed it from the detector and suddenly the whole chalet turned dark and everyone screamed. I swear, that was so dumb. In the end, the door opened with Janet's supposed "karate chop". Some people tried to take advantage of this situation with their freaky ghost stories.

Tuesday (04/11/08)
It was a long day, and a hot one too. We woke up at around 9am and we went to brush our teeth and stuff. I watched TV while they changed and showered. After that, all of us went out to have our breakfast at McDonald's. It was pretty normal, just that we took up three tables. We walked to Escape Theme Park to see if it was open (it wasn't the day before), but it wasn't... still.
We then went back to rest, but Serene went home early because she wasn't feeling well. After that, we just went to E!hub for bowling because it was such a hot morning. Janet just stayed in and continued sleeping. My bowling skills are pathetic, so are my scores. But I managed to win Hui Yen for the second round. Bowling is fun.
After bowling, Janet went to pick us up and we simply went back to the chalet to rest. Some of us turned on the radio and danced crazily to the beat while some of us played board games and slacked in the rooms instead. After a while, we planned to go to the park for inline skating but halfway there Isaac didn't feel well and Pearlyn and Yi Ren went back to the chalet with him. When we reached the park and got our skates, it rained lightly and we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to skate, so Hui Jie helped us return the skates after a long discussion with the store owners. So, we simply had our lunch at Downtown East. We went back again. Sigh, so boring, right? But nope, I decided to take funny pictures of myself for the first time with Hui Yen and Hui Jie. I feel so thick-skinned.
We then went for bowling again because we liked it. My scores were better this time and I beat Isaac for the second round too. My mother dropped by and bought us some cookies from Subway. When we came back, a lot of people took a shower (except for me) and watched the 9pm show while Jun Jie and Isaac helped us buy the cup noodles. Pearlyn told me she finished the WHOLE OF "TWILIGHT" (a book by Stephenie Meyer) in a day!!! What the? Later, I went down with Hui Yen, Jasper and Yi Ren to Fish and Co. to have our supper and the fish was indeed nice. Jasper bought a Sprite there which totally tasted like carbonated water. We told the cashiers and when they tried it, they gave funny disgusted reactions. We talked and joked a lot with one another there and then walked back to the chalet. When I was taking a shower, they were playing lame games. Janet seemed to have problems with her cousin but I guess it's already settled. We then played a board game and went to sleep at... 3am.

Overall the chalet may not be THAT fun but it was a great opportunity to bond with my friends for the last time... I can't wait for the other trip to South Korea!!!

next to me (wait a minute sister)

2008-11-03T11:20:00.002+08:00

That song (the title) is really good.
Anyway, I can't wait to meet my friends at Downtown East later. I hope they don't lose their way...
My brother made me a birthday card and a cake out of plasticine. How sweet.
I got into Triple Science, anyway. It was probably the second best gift so far (first being my brother's) but I'm feeling quite mixed up about it? I just don't know. Anyway, I got into the course I wanted, and that's final. It's this feeling, something like... when you wanted this for such a long time already and you finally got it, the thrill isn't there anymore. But, Triple Science is a good reward for studying hard, so I appreciate it.
My maid gave me a present too! Surprising, eh?

sunday sunday

2008-11-02T22:34:00.002+08:00

Hey. I went to swim today, finally... it's been 2 months. Honestly, I felt like a skinny pig. Hahah.
Also, I went bowling today. My first time eh? It was quite fun actually, and I did strike... once. Heh.
Tomorrow's the chalet but I'm having mixed feelings about it. Hmm, Serene is coming over at 6pm. Perfect to start the barbecue. I'm quite relieved, actually. Hahah.
Also, the streaming outcomes will be posted on the e-portal tomorrow. It seems that lots of people are taking options no. 3 and 4. I wonder why, hmm. My second option is no. 2, but since I did not take the CS test, it's been pushed down to my third option... which is no. 3. Hahah. I just hope that I will get into the combination I want.

2008-11-01T23:41:00.005+08:00

I went out with my parents to shop for my clothing to wear for the South Korea trip. It was boring as usual, and it never fails to make me frustrated because I have to go and in and out of the fitting rooms a hundred times every 15 minutes. Fine, that was an exaggeration, but it's enough to drive you insane.
We then drove to OG Albert (To be honest, I HATE that place) to get my pair of jeans. I'm still too skinny to wear size 28. I wonder how troublesome it would be to shop for my CNY clothes next year. Hmm, anyway, I don't really care (until I REALLY do the shopping).

it's indeed boring

2008-10-31T22:32:00.011+08:00

Hey, since when were holidays less of "action-packed" but more of "umm, I'll take naps for 24/7-packed"? I can't wait for the chalet and the student exchange programme, though I'm pretty darn sure the chalet might kind of suck. But it's a great opportunity to spend time with the great outdoors and the most important thing is I won't be cooped up in my room growing mushrooms on my head.
I'm already trying to plan the itineraries and to-bring lists for the chalet. Escape Theme Park alone can drive me bankrupt. Sigh, I wonder how Singapore would be able to survive the economic crisis with its idiotically high prices. Sometimes when I think about the chalet, I wish I didn't decide to book it. It's just too expensive, and we would have to go broke to have fun. But, there doesn't seem to be any choice, right? Janet can continue complaining about how she'll run out of money during the chalet, but let's face it, it's just like that. The price of that glass of water you drink from everyday has increased by 20%. The electricity bills of the computer you use to listen to radio everyday has also increased. Sooner or later, Singapore would morph into a money-eating monster to keep up with the advancing world. There's nothing much we can do about it.
I attended my brother's performance at my primary school today. It was honestly boring but his performance was pretty good. Call me biased, but it's really a fact. The audience would have slept a long time ago if not for his performance. Hah.
Right, I guess I'll just leave it here.

personality test

2008-10-30T18:58:00.004+08:00

I read this on Qiu Ping and Hui Yen's blogs earlier, and I decided to complete it because I was bored. After taking a look at my report, I find that some statements are actually quite accurate, though all of them are computer-generated, so it doesn't really mean something, I guess?

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What you are most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who your true self is:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

happy birthday Hui Jie

2008-10-30T10:05:00.009+08:00

Happy Birthday Hui Jie!!!
You should be really honoured, because I'm actually risking going to detention by blogging in the school computer lab!
It's so touching, right? Hahah!
Hope your birthday rocks!!!

four songstresses

2008-10-29T23:39:00.008+08:00

Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Beyonce and Leona Lewis are all fighting in the battle to top the British charts when they release their singles in UK on the same day - November 3!
They love me so much.

The singles to be released include...
Womanizer - Britney Spears (I thought that the song was super catchy and anyway, it was a huge success because it took an amazing leap from #96 to #1 on the Billboard charts in one day.)
Keeps Getting Better - Christina Aguilera (I haven't listened to this song yet, though I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be disappointing...?)
If I Were a Boy - Beyonce (I didn't bother to listen to it on iTunes but I guess it would be alright.)
Forgive Me - Leona Lewis (Something new for the time being. I can't wait to listen to it...)

From the looks of it, I think that either Britney Spears or Leona Lewis will clinch that position after the release of the record-breaking "Womanizer". Moreover, Leona Lewis is huge in the UK... keep your fingers crossed, perhaps?

high school musical 3

2008-10-28T16:50:00.012+08:00

I went out with Hui Yen, Isaac and Jerome to Downtown East after our ICT training to have lunch and catch "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" at E!hub. In my opinion, I think that it was a better movie as compared to the other High School Musical movies because it had better music and the actions were funnier (Troy doing a groovy dance in a tuxedo was... awkward, actually). For example, the scene where Gabriella just "popped" out and said "TROYYYY" made me laugh my head off. The scene where Sharpay and Tiara were fighting for the spotlight was funny because they got hidden under the stage. It was a good ending movie because High School Musical 2 was honestly... weak. However, the ending of the movie was still crap but the music and choreography were great.
While we were headed to Downtown East, Hui Yen told me that she sent an SMS to Yi Ren earlier before and said that he was leaving the group. It was the first time (I think) she had been so direct, but I agree with her in a way, I guess. Apparently, she was angry at Yi Ren because he posted comments about us not bidding goodbye to him during the class barbecue... I did, actually, just that he ignored me so I couldn't do anything. Hmm, but since it's our last year together, we shouldn't be so particular about things so I was glad Hui Yen called it off. I hope that we would come to a conclusion about these kinds of situations, I guess?

thursday and friday

2008-10-25T19:21:00.004+08:00

I think this would make a lengthy but ~~awesome~~ post.

Thursday (23/10/08)
I went to two cell meetings today. Well, it was actually one because Rebekah had a chocolate fondue party and I had to leave before they even started the real thing. The cell at Rebekah's was packed and the food was great. We had icebreaker games but I was too slow so I kind of spoiled the fun, I guess.
TayXi's cell was quite special as there were only Ngee Ann Secondary students there. The Anglican High seniors had to study for their "O" Levels, so it was a pretty small group. We started off the cell meeting with a sing-along session as usual and played some weird dancing game. We wrote messages about each other and it was great to see what people thought about us. After the cell, I was EXHAUSTED and I had to wait for almost half an hour for the bus. Sigh, but I didn't regret coming.

Friday (24/10/08)
Friday evening was great. I went to the class barbecue along with HuiYen, Isaac, JunJie and YiRen. Initially, we thought we were behind time because we couldn't find the shuttle bus stop and we arrived late. Benedict's apartment was really nice and well-maintained. We started off by soaking ourselves wet in the swimming pool (with our clothes on) as we thought it would be inconvenient if we did it before we left. It was fun as usual, but some classmates played pranks on the guests by hiding their slippers in a "cave" while we were playing in the water. The barbecued food was great, though the chicken wings were quite salty but nice! I also played balloon volleyball with HuiYen in the function room which was super exhausting but NICE!!! We also had activities such as charades and name-calling games. I lost in one round for charades and my penalty was to kiss a person of the same gender! I was totally freaked out, furthermore, XiuYun kept forcing me to pick someone to kiss! LOL!!! In the end, I didn't because Rebekah didn't even notice I had a penalty and told us to start a new game because the room was too noisy. Heheh, thank goodness!!! We also played games like "Big Fish and Small Fish". Classic, heheh. The people who lost the game had to eat wasabi or put it on their cheeks. I hate wasabi!!!
After the games, I went to sit on the recliners with HuiYen and Isaac and we were "moon tanning". HAHAH! We used the styrofoam cups to collect water from the swimming pool and attacked Isaac. When Isaac was busy running away, I pretended to be a model and did stupid sexy poses on the recliner to crack HuiYen up. LOL!!! Because the person who made noise first is entitled to be pushed into the swimming pool. Yay!
TayXi came to find us later and we had a race of who could walk across the pool the fastest without getting our pants wet. I raced with a chicken wing on my hand, but JunJie cheated and in the end he splashed water on our pants! HAHAH, disqualified! We sat by the swimming pool for a while and talked. Hmm, it was the first time I really talked to TayXi, I think. When she was drying her feet, she ran around to dry it and it was super funny. LOL!!!
The festivities came to an end and we went home. While we were walking out of the apartment (it was very big) at night, I dropped my phone on the pavement and was unwary about it until JunJie notified me. THANKS JUNJIE!!!
On the bus ride home, I thought about quite a lot of stuff. About whether the chalet would be successful, if I would enjoy my student exchange programme in South Korea and if I would get into the class I want since everyone is trying to compete with one another. I'm tired of competition.

I went to the barber and I have a new hairstyle... well, not really. My fringe totally changed, though. I hope I don't look weird.

2008-10-25T17:32:00.004+08:00

goodbye 2R4

2008-10-23T21:33:00.002+08:00

Well, to be honest, it actually hurts me a lot to say goodbye to 2R4. Although me and my friends are disliked a lot in class, we grew up and shared experiences together that I'm sure to cherish.
When I was studying before the final year exams, Melissa told me that our time left together as a class wasn't long anymore. At that time I really didn't care much because I felt that our class was always also separated. The students who said that we were not united were the ones who first had prejudiced opinions about us. Isn't it a classic case of "pot calling kettle black"? As disappointed as I may feel right now, I really can't bear to leave the class. Although I remember the times when Jasmine was bullied at her tagboard, when Janet was insulted and when the Malay girls were called "black", I can still remember the fun we had during Orientation, the laughter I shared with my friends and the various experiences we have been through together. Though we may not be bonded, each and every one of us has a totally different spirit and personality and that's what makes us unique.

second chance

2008-10-22T15:59:00.003+08:00

Today's assembly was super long. We got our verification slips and my results kind of... sucked. But I'm happy, don't know why. I didn't expect to get so low for D&T. I got 90 for the paper and my folio was alright :( Again, I barely made it into the top 10 in class... I got 10th in position, no comment. I know whoever reading this is satisfied that you beat me. Hahah. Don't mock me okay! :(
The decision-making for the subject combination was really hard. I wanted to go for Chemistry and Physics with either Computer Studies or Principles of Accounts. Actually, I was considering Principles of Accounts instead, since I don't think I would make the cut for Computer Studies. But, I'll end up taking 4 subjects which involve calculations, so I rethought. In the end, I put Triple Science as my first choice because it has the combination I wanted in 8 subjects but not 7, and I really did not want to choose between Physics and Biology and end up going crazy like how Janet did. And I got As for Math and Science anyway, so I'll just give it a try :/
I had one 7-subject choice because I really didn't want to take D&T. What if I surprisingly get a C5 for it during the "O" Levels? NO THANKS.
Right, so I'm already EXTREMELY lucky that I can take A Math, considering the difficulty of the SA2 paper. I hope HuiJie and TayXi would be able to make the cut. Good luck! :)

results day 2

2008-10-21T15:18:00.004+08:00

I got back my History and Math papers today. Before I went to the classroom, me and HuiYen went to find Mdm Sharizah to get the forms for the student exchange programme. I'm going to South Korea for the second time! Heheh! I went there last year. The date is from 17 to 22 November, which was the exact same date when I went to South Korea last time. So cool. Heheh.
Back to the results. I could remember how I felt when I entered the classroom. I can almost eat my heart out with all that anxiety I was feeling. In the end, I got 92 marks for History. I couldn't believe it. LOL! Ms Lavania rocks. HEHEH. My overall grade was pulled up from a B4 to an A1. Happy happy. However, my Math wasn't up to my expectations, but I think it is alright. I got 66.5 marks and when I calculated my overall, I got an A2. So... okay, I guess. Mr Hazmi said someone from 2R6 scored full marks for the paper 1. Gay shit :( Anyway, I managed to get an additional two marks for the paper 2 (it was catastrophic, LOL.)
The thing I'm most happy about is my Humanities. I managed to get 2 A1s at last. Sigh, my Literature was a mark from A2. Pathetic.
When I got home today, I had to wait outside my house for around 2 hours because I was so stupid! My maid told me she will be out to take my brother to my cousin's house and told me to bring my keys and have my lunch outside. I totally forgot what she said and I ended up making a fool out of myself. Sigh. It was so embarrassing.

results day 1

2008-10-20T13:54:00.003+08:00

I got back my Science and Geography papers today. After calculating the overall marks, I got A1s for both of them. I'm actually quite happy, but my Geography was a borderline A1, so I guess I'll have to see how well I will fare for the remaining papers tomorrow. Math makes me quiver. Serene's friend from 2R5, Germaine, got back her History paper today and she scored 94 marks. That is so crazy, seriously. This just makes me more nervous.
Anyway, Ms Lim really gave us a shock today. She said 13 of us scored an A1, which was quite little as compared to the previous few terms. I was quite restless because ever since Physics was introduced, I was unable to score well for Science (I got B3 for Term 3.) But when I received my paper and saw my marks, I was really relieved because I got the exact same mark as I did during the Mid-Years: 84 marks. I really have to thank God for this miracle. Heheh.
After we got back our papers today, Mrs Gloria Tan talked to us about choosing Elective/Pure Geography and/or Art in Secondary 3. She was actually kind of warning us about the dark sides of these subjects, but the only choice for Humanities I have left is Elective Geography, so be nice please :(

freaking horrified

2008-10-19T18:14:00.005+08:00

OMG Hui Yen told me that the students of 2R5 said that 18 of the pupils there failed Math. Also 2R5 was the 2nd class who scored highest for that subject!!! OH MY GOODNESS. I want to die already!!! Ms Lim even told 2R5 that most of them either got A1 or flunked Science!!! I want to cry already lah. I can almost imagine Mr Hazmi walking in and telling us that the class either got A1 or F9. I'm so nervous. I don't want to get back my results :(
When I was at the SDC, I went to the cafeteria and Ms Lim said "Hi" to me but gave me an expression that implied that she was kind of disappointed for some reason. I damn scared la. Oh my goodness. Geng Hao, you have to walk into that classroom and get your results in a positive attitude. Don't let this bring you down.
Anyway, I was chatting with YiRen and I asked JunJie what my old blog address was. I just remembered it was pulseblast, but I deleted it. LOL. Anyway, I've been thinking of my old usernames. Hmm, hahayoudumbkids. LOL! I can still remember when my classmates were in the D&T room collecting email addresses. I think I can only remember a handful of those names, like mslonelygal or piscezgirl. Hmm. pokemon4ever1 and winterfield_94. LOL!!!

last one standing

2008-10-18T23:30:00.009+08:00

123rd post!
Before you read the below entry, please note that whatever written below is purely my opinion and you are entitled to have different views.

SPOILER ALERT!
Okay, I admit that I'm a Hong Kong drama fanatic since I was Primary 5. I have no choice because my mom totally influenced me. Recently (actually, just) I just finished a serial called "Last One Standing". It's about betrayal and a man's process of taking his revenge and proving his innocence. It stars Kevin Cheng and Yoyo Mung. I had to say that the serial was one of the best I have seen including Heart of Greed and Forensic Heroes I and II, but the ending was really disappointing. It was a total cliffhanger, and I think that the producer should have added a few more episodes. Honestly, it totally changed my view about the serial. The ending was just as weird as that of Heart of Greed's, you know, Sheung Tsoi Sum dancing in the rain with some other guy whose name escapes me and the evil mother driving a car on the pathway trying to kill some random guy? Gosh. The TV industry is really failing audiences these days. Even if the serial wanted us to think about what has happened to the characters, I still don't get why they ended this way. Sigh. I regretted renting the serial, but if you want to, just rent the episodes but not the finale. Anyway, Hong Kong serials are still better than Singapore. No doubt.

singapore discovery centre

2008-10-17T22:43:00.003+08:00

LOL today seriously sucked big time -_- It was super boring. We took a 1 hour bus ride to Jurong and went to the Singapore Discovery Centre. I slept on the way there. When we arrived, we had to walk all the way to some hall where they handed us some form to complete and told us to go on some Amazing Race thingum. When we tried to find the clues, we couldn't because the centre was so damn confusing. There was an upper level and a lower level. I really, really didn't enjoy it. We went for a break next. It wasn't even a proper break because most of us ended starving ourselves because... come on, $2.50 for a bar of chocolate? No way. I ate a pathetic packet of Twisties which cost me $2. After that we took a tour bus around SAFTI, and then played some game in the Visionarium which confused the hell out of me. Honestly. Maybe the fun part was when we tried tickling each other's backs? It was super contagious, the tickling.
Anyway, halfway through the excursion, the slow me realised Melissa and Victoria weren't there. LOL. TayXi said they went to the "Bananakan Museum". They went to the Peranakan Museum. Anyway, the excursion was a failure.
On the bus back, YiRen and Jonah sat behind me and talked about tons of Christian stuff which made me eventually fall asleep. When I woke up, they were still talking. Right, lame.
I had CCA today, went home alone. Yawn. I'm so tired. I came back from Changi Airport, had my dinner there. Hahah. Bye.

Wow, today was super tiring. School was boring so nvm :/
After the last assembly programme in the hall, I was still at the control room. I thought the teachers were giving out the CCA point forms, so I rushed down to get the forms for me and Isaac, but it turns out they didn't release it. Frustrated as I was, I went down to the canteen to buy a drink and saw KiatKiong there. Heh. I think I walked really slowly because I got the excursion bus simply... waiting for me there. It was so surprising. I thought it wasn't so soon, hahah. We got our CCA point forms in the bus, anyway -.- I got 11 points for the two years. I think it was quite alright. I should get around 9 points next year and another 4 in Sec 4 to get those 2 bonus points! :)
Wait, I can still bargain with Mdm Sharizah for more CCA points. I volunteered in some competitions. Anyway, I think Mdm Sharizah rocks. LOL.
So, we went to walk around the NEWater Visitor Centre exhibit. It was simply... yawn. Our "tour guide" was funny, though. She looks like a robot, acts like a robot, and sounds like a robot. LOL. I could remember her line "please do not engage in videotaking for security reasons" or something like that. LOL.
When we were dropped off in school, many of them left WITHOUT PAYING THE $20!!! Hey, why are you people so anxious to go home? Even HuiYen wants to watch her 2.30pm show but she still put up with it. Hmph.
I went to the Megamath for a so-called debrief. Dots, when I went there they just kept dragging things and in the end, Lexus did not debrief and just dismissed us. LOL? We met YiRen and then went to Tampines Mart for lunch. I accidentally bought him OREO MILK TEA. LOL!!! Even the sound of it creeps me out. Oreos in milk tea? EWWWWKS!
In the end we totally rushed to the bus stop desperately to board a bus to Rebekah's house. Her apartment was very small but cool too! There were two entrances. Hah!
We then rushed to TayXi's cell at Natalia's house. OMG. Totally desperate. After the cell, I went home and I saw bus 39, so I ran desperately to catch it but it just dashed through because there were too many buses on queue (four, to be exact). How inconsiderate :/
And Mdm Sun was so cute when she was on the runway in the NEWater Visitor Centre! Hahah! A little birdie told me that she rushed back home after the excursion and changed and she was spotted at the bus stop 5 minutes later. Amazing :O
Okay bye!

EDIT:
If anyone has this song, "I Wanna" by The All-American Rejects (shh, favourite band since Primary 5. LOL!), please kindly send it to me because I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks in advance! (I want the studio version please!!! I know it's live at the Nike Human Race.)
Argh, YouTube is being flooded by Chipmunk versions of popular songs. It's so stupid + dumbass. Seriously!!! I can almost imagine Womanizer in Chipmunk with all that hype going on... gives me teh creeps.

post-exam activites

2008-10-15T20:36:00.004+08:00

Today's post-exam activities were boring, asdfghjkl!!!
We had a talk on subject combination today! It was so confusing! And the projector at the temporary canteen totally sucks! They should have blinds next time! HAH.
During the talk, I didn't understand half of what Mdm Sharizah was talking about. There was, what, four types of Sciences? There's pure (which I'm not going to take), combined (it's a total waste, and I'd rather take Chemistry and Physics separately), double (I'm considering this) and triple (you know it, I know it). The HOD of Science said that Triple Science is going to be tough because we will be taking 9 hours of Science a week, but I think it's quite okay. Science has to be my favourite subject, anyway. Even if Physics makes me want to die. I'm totally crazy. I must have confidence to think that I can maximize my potential and go to any subject combination I want!!!
The Humanities are confusing also. Why does Ngee Ann have to only allow Pure Geography and Pure English Literature instead of allowing Pure History too? I don't even see why they can't allow all three subjects, dots. Anyway, I've kind of made up my mind for Humanities. I'm taking Combined SS + Geography. I don't care if I get B3 or what for Geography. I seriously can't take History. It simply, sucks.
I'm not considering Art and D&T. No way. I design as a hobby, not a subject. It just won't be fun :P So, I've come down to two choices:

1) English, Chinese, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, A Math, E Math, Social Studies + Elective Geography, Computer Studies/Pure English Literature (both sound interesting, and Computer Studies seem easy.)

2) The 1st combination just that it's only Chemistry and Physics.

timebomb

2008-10-14T19:30:00.001+08:00

I went out with friends today to Downtown East to catch a movie. We had Japanese for lunch first but we took up too much time and in the end we entered the theatre late. The movie, surprisingly, was The House Bunny ._. TBQH, the movie was hilarious and it was quite nice. Hahah, "it's f*cken hot!"
After the movie we roamed aimlessly around Pasir Ris ._. then we took the bus to IKEA Tampines and ended up stalling at the bus stop. Yawn. I went home from there after some chatting.

pleased

2008-10-13T17:23:00.012+08:00

Today was alright. I got back my language papers today and I got A1s for both of them. Haha! Happy happy. However I'll still get a B for Chinese because I screwed up the earlier 55% of the whole year for it, and my compo wasn't very great. Heh. I think I would be able to get an A for English. I just hope that I would pass my English compo. Lately, I've been having language problems. So far, I got 48.5 for the first half, so I think it's quite okay.
Anyway, I stayed back with HuiYen, Pearlyn and Isaac today to explore the new building with the CCA mates. We had to shift our equipment there and the control room is huge (as compared to the slum-like conditions we had in the temporary canteen.)
The hall was simply, sexy. LMAO. I did not have a chance to see the auditorium though. Heh.
I'll post some pictures up soon. I just hope HuiYen would come online... quick!

EDIT:
Here are the pictures!!!

The indoor sports hall, with lime green lights!

They seem to be working out something, anyway...

The view of the old building from the new building!

To be quite honest, I really like the font of the text on the notices.

The door seems to serve as two exits ._. How was that possible?

I can see your LIGHT shining through!!! 8)

The new court for the volleyball players. Woosa~!

HuiYen's oh-so-awesome photo-taking skills!

Something random we noticed when we were going down the stairs!

We took this for fun! How nice!

Oh my goodness, my heart's beating like crazy because I'm so anxious about tomorrow's results. I've never been so nerve-wrecked over results in my whole secondary school life, but this is the end-of-year examinations, so it's different. Heh.
I must not fail either/both of my English papers, nor my Chinese (in overall). Gosh! Yikes. Haha.

2008-10-11T01:03:00.002+08:00

OH MY GOODNESS. This is totally random but I just realised I didn't label my graph. GOSH. 1 mark flies away. Bye!
Anyway, I'm not going to pursue the matter any further. Since you read it, it's fine. That's what I wanted. You don't need to post full length entries about me. Whether I misunderstood or not, I'll know it myself because either way, I still felt hurt.
And to HuiYen, sorry for lashing out at you today. Your response made me very angry. Heheh. Now I know why Janet insulted you that time. Oh well. I spoke my mind and I'm also not going to continue talking about it :) At least I was being honest.
To Isaac, if you didn't get my message, I won't be going for the CCA gathering because the rest won't be going. If I do, I'll feel left out. I don't want to trouble you and make you think that it was my problem there was no teamwork and make you complain to Pearlyn again. Because seriously, it's totally cool that you don't really like me since you accused HuiYen of taking sides with me too. I'm fine. Just that, you know, right. Jerome and SiYing are my mates but I won't be able to enjoy it without the rest.

exams are so... 9 hours ago

2008-10-10T18:22:00.004+08:00

Okay so I went to sleep from 2pm to 6pm just now! Haha! I'm going to catch up on the tons of days of lack of sleep during the holidays, because I have nothing better to do! All the games are downloading, the blogs I read don't update much and the MSN games I play cock up on me sometimes. -_-
Anyway, I haven't properly blogged about the Math Paper 2. Well, it was a disaster. I even wonder how the setter could finish under the stipulated time limit (without the answer key). It's a 1h 15min paper, just to cut it short... and there's 8 questions and 3 sub-questions on average for all of them. So that's 24 questions. Most of the questions have super long workings (if it's not forming equations out of triangles, it's finding all things under the Sun for the mensuration shit -_-.) There's even a quadratic graph where the points have to estimated. How can I even finish this within 1h 15min man. It would be more humane if the setter gave us at least 15min extra.
Now this pathetic me has to depend on the Math Paper 1 ._.
Anyway, I feel so bored. Obviously, I won't be able to sleep later tonight. I slept for 4 hours. I didn't delete the previous post because surprisingly, Janet wanted him to read it. Argh. I'm trying to find something to do now. Bye.

math paper 2

2008-10-10T10:34:00.009+08:00

I lost 18 marks for this paper. Oh well.
Very disappointed today. I thought I'd be so happy after the exams. Turns out that everything made me sad today. YiRen said he wanted to skip my chalet so he could go to church. I can't believe he could even think of it. I know he loves God more than anyone else, but he didn't choose to spare a thought for us. I can't believe I made this choice to patch things up with him. He was just using this time to go to church. It's our last three days together. Isaac's even migrating when he graduates. Will we enjoy our final time together as a group? I really wanted to cry when he said that. It's very disappointing. Everything to him now is cell, bible study, church, prayer meetings and many is sick of him trying to force them to become a Christian by saying that they would burn in hell. It's so hell fucking disappointing. I feel like calling everything off. How I wish he didn't say that. If he didn't, I wouldn't feel like uninviting him. Making use of this opportunity to go to church instead of giving me just a little support. He can always go on Sunday, I don't know why he's like this.
Everything he does makes me angry nowadays. And sad. Yesterday, I briefly went to the library with him. He seemed angry at me for even showing up. He totally ignored me and treated me like a distraction because he kept on passing notes to HuiYen, making me feel like I'm some outsider and he wanted me to leave so he could properly talk to HuiYen. I'm quite sad at HuiYen also. In the end, I left with Christon. HuiYen told me he could even be angry when I just wanted to discuss the heart diagram on his notebook with him. He always doesn't think what I say is right. He just doesn't treat me like he treats anyone else. Whatever bad things he does on me, it's always on purpose. I can always see that.

I can't help but type this complaint post. Hopefully, I'll remove it when I calm down.
How should I feel? If I show that I am angry, he will think that I'm a piss-off. If I hide how I feel and continue to be so carefree, he will continue to take me down because he just doesn't really like me. He even said he hated me (to the core). I think the reason why he seems to not hate me now is because he turned into a Christian, not because he really thought things out. I wish he wasn't so jealous. I feel hurt. I wish for too many things.

science paper

2008-10-09T11:52:00.011+08:00

Hooray, Science paper is finally over. It's been the subject I'm most afraid of. Hahah.
Overall, the paper was fine, just that I made some mistakes with the calculations and that question of the fish in that tank. Hah.
It's those kinds of papers that make you feel like you will get an A1, but not a high one. I don't know how to say it. Hahah. All I know is I really want to get an A1.
Tomorrow's Math 2. And I'm so happy because it's the last paper!

history paper

2008-10-08T13:29:00.008+08:00

Okay, so naming the post after the paper I take each day (this week) is a great excuse to not think of a stinking title. Heh.
So, I had History. Today. One of the essay questions was the one I didn't memorise, but THANK GOODNESS I did some last-minute memorising of it so I roughly know what's going on with that Hertogh girl. -_-
I did the essay questions first because I was afraid I did not have enough time to do it if I complete my source based first :/ In the end, there was around 50 minutes left and I did the source based, and I finished the paper with only 5 minutes to spare. I know, my time consumption is EPIC when it comes to completing source based questions X.X
Anyway, I hope I get an A for the History paper -_- In my opinion, I thought it was quite so-so, but my source based can be so unpredictable.
Oh well, tomorrow's Science. 科学. Sains. Okay never mind. HAH HAH. -_-

I watched some London dining show on Discovery Travel and Living this afternoon. I was bored so yeah. It was quite nice but they were very rotten. I don't know how to put this into words. LOL. The show is about a group of five food enthusiasts and they have to each host one dinner in their home for one night, so, there was this woman who got 28/40 (over 40 because there is 4 guests) for her ratings and the rest got 24. When they went for the latest host's dinner, she rated him a 3/10 and in the end he got 27/40. Better yet, all her remarks were extremely positive. It's so sickening ._. These kinds of people simply make me want to kick their ass. Seriously.

math paper 1

2008-10-07T19:26:00.008+08:00

111th post :O
I sat for the first Math paper today. Overall, it was good. I think I can get a high A1 provided the marker is lenient x/ (Don't be overconfident.) There were some careless mistakes, however, but all those questions were 2-mark questions so I guess I'll get some marks for the methods. Heheh. There was this question which made me feel really confused. Haha, it's the last one I think. My answer was 80 degrees but many answered 100. Jasper even said it was obtuse but when I thought about it again, the triangle was actually sloping downwards, so he didn't manage to smash my hopes. HAH. (Not that 100 degrees is confirmed to be the wrong answer, though. Obviously, it's not drawn to scale.)
Anyway, tomorrow's History. I memorised two essays in the hope that they will appear in the section!!! If they don't, I'm so dead, I swear.

geography paper

2008-10-06T14:12:00.009+08:00

Hi! So the Geography paper was a little screwed up because I thought I didn't give any plausible answers :/ But never mind. What's over IS indeed over (what Serene always tells me when I brag about how badly I did for a paper...)
I don't think I will fail anyway. HAH, confidence! But I really hope so :S I really want to get 56/70. Hah, what an accurate mark (there's something to it).
Okay anyway...
Happy Birthday Yi Ren!!!
I went to Tampines Mall after the paper (again... -_-) and 291 was as packed as usual. I went to the library first to study with HuiYen, XiuYun, Michelle, Christon and YiRen... lots of people = more distraction, so we didn't last that long. After that, we went to MOS Burger to eat. It was quite okay, just that Christon hates that place... a lot -_-
I went to Popular to buy my calculator next. Only HuiYen followed me up. Hah. I bought the Casio one, heheh. I had no choice anyway, they didn't sell Sharp models at Popular. By the way, Casio calculators are actually cheaper. Well, at least that's what XiuYun said.
I have to go and memorise my History soon :X Bye!

i should really be studying

2008-10-05T16:08:00.003+08:00

I'm here to blog (ridiculously) for my dear readers!!! 8) (I sounded so thick skinned in that sentence. I hope so, anyway.)
I had two sessions of tuition today. Both of them are 2 hours each... so, that's 4 hours of Math. However my other tuition's had its last lesson today so yay!!! I just feel bad for quitting that tuition before it ended because I have been following that tuition class for 3 years already. Amaaazing right right right? :)
But, if you people are reading this, it's a week of stress in exchange for SIX weeks of relaxation!!! That's right. Five weeks is still more than a month so let's not fret but rejoice!!! :)
So, you guys have a great reason to mug harder right now. It's uncertain if I can do well for the exams but what the heck! Have a good sleep and take regular breaks in between your study sessions! The longer you study, the more ineffective it gets because you might tend to forget some things and end up getting stressed up. Don't do that pl0xzx, but INSTEAD, EAT BANANAS during your breaks!!! Good ol' bananas! Stress-killers! (btw, make sure you shit before taking the exam.) HAHHAHHAH!
Okay! Before you take the exams, pray hard for the wisdom and that you will do well. If you stumble upon a question that really gives you a hard hit on the head, move on and think about it later! You will end up being less nervous and not wasting your time. That's killing two birds with a stone, though we shouldn't literally do that :O
While you're completing your paper, do take note of the time! Use a few seconds to tilt that lazy head of yours UP and glance at the clock. You should have ample time to finish so no worries. However, if you do not have much time left (3 minutes, 1 minute tops) look at the questions which you can do in that time span and see the marks! The higher the weightage the more you should considering doing it.
In conclusion, these are just some tips to take note of when you are in the exam room. Before I end this post, remember to study healthily. Waking up at 3am with coffee on your coaster to study the night RIGHT before your exam would really strain your thinking.
Anyway, good luck and complete the papers with a positive attitude. No anxiety, no fear! Just take it like a gust of wind :D

out through the curtain

2008-10-03T21:20:00.005+08:00

Helloh, I was quite tired today and I slept during Maths lesson. Good thing I finished the Maths paper Mr Hazmi told us to do in class.
I forgot to bring all my Science things today so I just pretended to "bring" them by replacing them with my foolscap pad and notebook, LOL. Lame replacement but I really packed the wrong day.
During CME, Mr Ong distributed our D&T test papers. It kind of caught me by surprise because it was CME, not D&T (doh, lmao). I got 90% in the end and I was quite happy because I skipped the sandpaper question (3 marks?) and only 1 mark was deducted from the rest! I fulfilled one target (to get above 80% for D&T). Let's see how well I do for my folio... :S
We watched a movie in the computer lab for the rest of the lesson. I didn't because I thought I would be quite unproductive so I studied History as I planned to sleep when I got home. Hehe.
Okay, I'm signing out, see you around.

print notes for huiyen and xiuyun

2008-10-02T17:59:00.002+08:00

WOOHOO! I finally remembered to turn on my phone when I reached home and get HuiYen's call later. I should print out my notes soon. I hope I don't forget to bring it tomorrow. Every time someone asks me to print something for them and I have to bring it to school the next day, I will feel so freaked out for no apparent reason because I'm so afraid that I might forget to bring it. HEHE. Okay, I'm crapping :)
So, after school I went to have lunch at Tampines Mart. It has been a super duper long time since I went there. I went to eat with XiuYun for the first time. Hoho. Michelle initially tagged along but chose to eat with others instead. Haha.
I stayed back in class after that to copy YiRen's History essays. I made it into short point statements so I think I can study better. I managed to memorise quite a lot of History stuff and get the Science techniques right. Phew. Melissa studied with us though. Quite surprising, hehe.
During English lesson today, Mdm Jamilah showed us a global warming documentary and when I watched it, I just felt so sad. As I flip through my Geography textbook and National Geographic magazine, I feel that I already have a better reason to recycle the 20+ plastic containers stuffed in the kitchen. Hehe.
Anyway, I got 90% for the Maths test and I feel quite alright (-_-) because I think I did well? Just that the "list the elements of this set" question cost me 3 marks which was kind of wasted.

never be replaced

2008-09-30T19:26:00.002+08:00

Hi, 2R4 did quite well for the History test but I didn't because I made up the bottom crust of the class for it with a 50%... -_- The teacher said around 15-18 got an A and many got a B. And I got a C, and all the rest of my friends got at least 1 mark higher than me!!! (with exceptions, I think but it's still very bad) In fact, some got 100% -_-
Sigh, as inferior as I feel right now, I still have to try harder and memorise the essays to get an A2 by the end of the year. I hope I get... 70 :D
~~PROCRASTINATING RULEZ :D~~
!!! Hurrah!!!

a daring confession

2008-09-29T20:06:00.006+08:00

"I have a confession to make... this has been bothering me for quite some time now and I've been DYING to tell this to you ever since the day I set my eyes on you...

I

I lo

I love yoghurt especially chocolate flavour!!! HEHE. You have always been LOVED by me because you are my friend. Haha, pass it on! Have fun!"

Kua kua kua... haha.
I found this on SiYing's blog and I just had to steal it!!!
HEH HEH. :B

who am i to say?

2008-09-29T19:26:00.002+08:00

Sigh, I don't know what to think now. I'm stressed for all the wrong reasons.
I'm going to get my History and Math papers back tomorrow. Double sigh. I'm so unlucky I don't think I will be able to do well every single time. And it's always accurate. Ah, stop inflicting these thoughts on myself...
School is a total bore during the exams period because our tables are separated and honestly... I don't really like my seating. But it's alright when it's during the exams because... I just feel less nervous I guess. Hehe.
Gah. I feel quite scared for the Science exam, because I can't seem to read circuit diagrams and heating/cooling curves... -_-
I managed to balance equations already though.

i'm an aspiring architect!

2008-09-27T22:57:00.003+08:00

Okay, so instead of being productive and studying, I played The Sims 2 (after what seemed to be EONS...) for 2 hours straight and I managed to complete building the loft apartment and decorating the rooms!!! I shall put up some screenshots soon.
Meanwhile, I'm studying Geography. I just made the notes for Water Resources today so... sigh. I have to do well for the Geography exam because it's almost impossible for me to get an A for History (I need 89 for an A1?!?!) and I'm not confident for my Chapter 9 test. Grrragh.
I also logged in to say... I CAME TO POST!!! Hooray -_-

one hundred and first

2008-09-26T18:13:00.004+08:00

We had the English Paper 1 and Chinese Paper 2 today! I can finally say HASTA LA VISTA to the language papers! Hehe.
English Paper 1 was quite alright except for the fact that my compo was a little exaggerated. I just hope that I don't get low marks.
Lulllzzzz, Chinese da bomb man. It was quite simple but I think I've made some mistakes here and there. I think I can get 40 and above. Haha.
I have to go for dinner soon so BYE! (Pepper crab yum, yum to HuiYen if you are reading!!! :D)

hundred, hundred, hundred!

2008-09-25T21:33:00.004+08:00

My hundredth post!!!
Including my WordPress and LiveJournal entries I think it's over a hundred, but never mind! :D
Today's papers were quite okay but I didn't quite understand the Chinese composition question, so I think I wrote an irrelevant essay. I just hope I get 30/50 and above...
Anyway, I really really hope I do well for tomorrow's English composition and of course, the CHINESE PAPER!!! Gives me chills down my spine but I think I can do it. Hehe.
Anyway, good luck all for your upcoming test papers (tomorrow and the week after!) God bless :D

ninety-ninth

I got back my Science practical test papers today, and I feel so unlucky, hehe.
I'm currently reading up my formal letter writing examples (Chinese...) and I don't think I get it. Firstly, it's the writer's address on the top right hand corner, then it's the name of the recipient, his/her profession, and then his/her company's address. After that I'll need to write his name again, then the header below -_-
Okay, so now for the first paragraph I'll need to write about the writer's profile... the purpose of the letter and an introduction of his/her proposal and his/her arrangements!!!
Then, it's the shitty part -_- I know you're supposed to write about your programme and stuff, but how do you write the 素问（拍马屁话）????? Do you just state that you're honoured to have the recipient participate in this and that programme or what? How do you write it??!!
Argh.

procrastinating, hurrah

2008-09-23T18:33:00.006+08:00

I have to do Chinese later -_-
Anyway, I've been having a bad mood lately because of the exams and problems with my friends. Zzz. I was kicked out of my CME group today for some stupid reasons (I'm not in the "group"). Lame -_- It made me feel a little angry and hurt at the same time. In the end, I had to redo the pamphlet with a new group. Haha, but I think it's a nicer pamphlet.
Okay, I NEED to do Chinese. Bah. Bye.

as the questions linger on and on...

2008-09-20T14:37:00.005+08:00

I feel so... unaccomplished -_- I always do. This time, I have not completed my folio, Art and Chinese, zzz. I feel so lazy again.
And I have not even touched the D&T textbook. I'm ready to flunk that test already. I will have to help Isaac crop his pictures later too. I think I'd better start studying for my D&T. I didn't do much about Geography also. I think I'm going to forget all the compass bearings and stuff. Bleh.
School totally sucks nowadays, with all those assignments rushing in. Oh damn, I have not handed up my 4 book trails. I'm in trouble.

studying at Tampines library

2008-09-19T18:56:00.005+08:00

Okay hi!!! :)
I went to school super early today because I had to meet YiRen and TayXi for their morning prayer. Just joining in, hehe.
We had the Literature SA2 after that. I hope my answers are relevant. I want to get 75 for Literature by the end of the year. Sounds pretty impossible but I'll try.
After school I went to Tampines Mall with HuiYen, YiRen and Christon. Initially, we wanted to study at the library but we chose to eat first. In the end, there were no more seats. Yawn. So we had to go to the childrens' section. Haha.
Okay, so studying today was pretty effective, but I don't know if it was alright for YiRen. He kept laughing and getting distracted. Heh.
Had McFlurry in the evening. The interchange looks great during the evening. I'm being so "photographic". -_-
So, I took the bus home from there and guess what, I saw Ms Lim board it around two stops later!!! Haha! And, HuiYen didn't stop laughing ever since my bag dropped in the bus and when she saw that tissue in my McFlurry -_-
I don't feel like blogging, actually. Anyway, I'm finished for this post so yup.

yawn yawn yawn!

2008-09-18T15:52:00.006+08:00

Hey kids! (-_-)
I sat for two tests today. The Maths test was good but I think I lost a mark. Haha. The Science practical was bad though. I think I'll get 5/15 or lower. I reversed all the readings, LOL! Haha, I'm unlucky, never mind. Anyway, I'll just be happy for the marks I scored, not the marks I lost.
There was also a photo shoot of our class today. I think I looked like an idiot, especially for the shot where I was bunny-eared -_-!
Exams are coming soon and I don't feel like studying Geography x_x It seems like every point is important in that subject, and in the end, none of the points will come out -_-. I don't know how to study SMART for Geography, argh.
English Literature SA2 exam tomorrow!!!

only fooling myself

2008-09-16T21:34:00.012+08:00

Hey, life is getting more boring. I like yawning now. Hehe.
I've been thinking of my combination again since my tuition teacher advised me on preparing something else in case some things just don't work out. I think I will take Chemistry + Physics, Social Studies + Elective Geography, A Math + E Math, English, Express Chinese and either Computer Studies or Pure English Literature...
Bah, I just hope that I get good grades to get into the courses I want. I still think that Triple Science can "widen my horizons" :) Thank goodness I still have an 80 for Science. I should get an A1 for Maths by the end of the term.

this is why events unnerve me

2008-09-15T16:40:00.002+08:00

... they find it all a different story :)
It's from "Ceremony" by New Order. I think it's an 80s song. I like the tune.
Okay, so first things first. I need to keep up with my blogging and also my studies, so I'll have to switch this computer off and carry on with my Maths after I've finished posting.
School was quite okay today, but it was quite bad too as I kind of freezed in the D&T room. Sometimes, something that's supposed to be good turns out to be bad when you're trying to enjoy it. It's so ironic.
Mdm Sun didn't come for Chinese lesson for the first time in the year. I don't really know if it's good or bad, but I do know that I had to complete some dumb revision paper during the period. Anyway, English was next and it was boring as usual. Yawn.
We stayed back for a while to film our Geography project but HuiJie and Janet got impatient and left so only Serene's group was able to record theirs. Isaac took along a tripod, camera and microphone, which was pretty amazing because according to my experience it would take a century to get things done.
Okay, I just yawned again. This post is getting so boring. I shall end it here... and go enjoy my roast almond Cadbury!!!

doo, doo, doo, doo

2008-09-14T00:59:00.008+08:00

Haha, here are the pictures!

Okay personally, I found this hilarious. Never mind.

Pearlyn reading the book she later threw away...

Haha okay Xinyi thanks for your directions :)

They look funny hahaha!

Okay so this is SOLID EVIDENCE for how we felt during Life Science!!!
Boring right!

I have to go and sleep, bye!

HuiYen and her lovely handphone!

no witty titles for a long, long time

2008-09-13T22:16:00.007+08:00

I mugged for the whole of the afternoon o_o
Feel free to ask me questions about Transport Systems/Digestion/Electricity/Chemical Changes!!!
Hehe.

I got my height and weight on Friday, 169cm and 34+kg???!!!
I can't believe I'm so thin. And yes, it scares me more than you do.

Anyway, I have already booked the chalet. So, you can't back out no matter how hard you try!!! (actually, you can but you have to pay me the $20! Haha, just kidding -_-) Please try to come online and read this and ask me about it if you have any doubts, if I am also online (-_-) or SMS me. I think I'll reply soon enough, yeah.
Good day!!! 8)

that just sounded so wrong

2008-09-12T15:28:00.004+08:00

Hey. I'm currently waiting for the instructor to come in the lab so I'm here to post.
I just had my English oral today. I thought I was okay with the reading but I think I messed up the conversation. Of course, I can't guarantee that I really messed it up, so yup. I keep my fingers crossed. I'm hoping for better marks :)
If you wanted to know, the passage was something about sharks. I could not pronounce "scientists" properly. I guess that's the only word I thought I screwed up. Wait, there's also "exceedingly" but I managed to pull that out in the end.
Anyway, I'm already studying because the exams are 3 weeks away. I hope I get more A1s instead of A2s and more B3s instead of B4s. I feel quite pressurised. I guess that happens when you're still not prepared.
Anyway, I came here to post for one last thing...
Happy Birthday Jasper!!!

merry happy

2008-09-11T20:02:00.007+08:00

Haha today was a good day, I didn't have such a day in months :) Although it's really tiring (I just reached home at around 8pm) it's still godsent!
Alright so during Science today I was looking at Huijie's ez-link cards and I laughed at how awkward we were when we took our pictures in P6. Haha, I looked at mine again and I looked really weird without my glasses hehe! I managed to absorb the important points in Science today so I hope I don't get left out in any info! Haha.
So after school, I boarded 18 with HuiYen, JunJie, Pearlyn, Xinyi, YiRen and Jasmine to Tampines Mall. We kind of split up and lost each other in the process. Hehe. I got broke while having lunch at Long John Silver's so I guess I'll have to tell Jasper I'll get him his belated present.
We took a lot of pictures in the bus hahaha! I need to get HuiYen to come online so I can put them up :) Anyway, HuiYen, JunJie, YiRen and me spent quite a long time trying to get a nice present. We got something in the end anyway. Haha but I didn't chip in. I need to do some shopping during the weekends!!!
Okay so after that JunJie went home and we went to wait for TayXi in the food court. We spent a lot of time there revising my Maths. I was quite happy as I managed to get a number of the problems correct, hoho. I did practice alright!
Anyway, after a while AiLing (?) came and we had Bible Study. She kind of made my day because she prayed for me and my friends :D I think I'll have enough confidence as long as I put enough effort in my studies!
Okay so fast forward to the evening. We went to Natalia's (?) place to attend cell. It was kind of tiring but it was okay too. When we went home, I was pretty unsure of how to get back. Haha, but miraculously there was 39 in that bus stop so I was really lucky!!! :)
So this ends a vague description of today. My memory is kind of failing me right now because I'm thinking about Geography stuff. Haha. Anyway, I saw the message TayXi sent us and I feel very very grateful for today and cared because people prayed for me!!! Haha.

happy belated birthday xiuyun

2008-09-10T21:46:00.005+08:00

Happy (Belated) Birthday Xiuyun!!!
Sorry for the really late wishes but it's sincere all the same :)

Okay so today, when I went home, I studied Chapter 4 again. It really refreshed my memory. Thank goodness I studied :)
After that I went to sleep for around 3-4 hours? Super tired, I guess. I slept in the bus also. Idk why I'm always tired when there's school.
I hope I do well for English, Science and Geography. Haha. Of course, I would still like to get more As!!! If I try harder, at least.

a "ceremonious" reopening

2008-09-08T22:43:00.005+08:00

Aight, so today was the worst school reopening day any student can ever get.
So, HY was boring EL was boring CL was boring but GY... -_-
I don't want to talk about it. I had to sing two verses of the Katy Perry song ALONE, and when I suddenly forgot the tune and screwed up, the class laughed!! =/ Xiuyun was waving her hands and "supporting" us too but it just made things more worse and awkward!!! :(
So, in short, today was really embarrassing. Although TayXi said that she zaogeng in that video, I still think my scene was 100 times more awkward than THAT. Mrs Tan, if you're reading this, please do record our videos in private next time!
Okie dokie, so it's exams in a matter of 3 weeks. I'm still getting prepared. There's an EL compo tomorrow and a CL level compo test next week. Looks like I'll have to hit the books soon 8) Especially History if I want to get 70 for overall :)

p.s. I counted my Geography and Science marks and guess what!!! I got 77 and 80 for the subjects respectively!!! Thank goodness it's still an A1. I love MYEs -.-

unaccomplishment

2008-09-01T22:40:00.004+08:00

Today was super unlucky because I had to wait at the bus stop for Janet for an hour -_-
Okay so I was playing The Sims 2 these few days because I'm bored and I just installed everything :) FreeTime is nice.
I'm going to try out Apartment Life tomorrow so yeap. But I still have to study -_-
There's Life Science tomorrow -_- Pathetic. Seriously, it's a boring 9 hour programme which SUCKS. I want to get a refund.
I hope the chalet works out well. I think it would be better if I called it off, but they really want it so I guess I'll have to start planning. Sigh.
I feel so unaccomplished.

i guess i'll just save my breath

2008-08-29T21:57:00.004+08:00

BYD was pretty much a flop because few people wore 60s style clothes.
Anyway, why do we have to follow a dress code when it is BE YOURSELF Day??? Beats me.
I had duties today... I was supposed to reach Megamath at 7am sharp but I totally forgot about it and left home at 6.55am. I even forgot to tell Pearlyn she had duties too. I was quite guilty for making her rush all the way just to make it in time :X She didn't, anyway.
The first item was the ACES dance thingy. They were dancing to some MIKA song which was played over and over again throughout the day. It even made me wonder which was more boring - the music or the programme.
I walked around the temporary canteen/basketball court with the DSLR hung around my neck. I realised I looked like an idiot, but who cares anyway. Haah. After the ACES thingy was the Talent Quest which took the rest of the day. I like the Secondhand Serenade and JET performance :D
However, 2R4 did well too.
Okay so that's about it for today o_O
I hope I would be able to study well for the exams. Hmm.

it left me uncertain

2008-08-28T20:21:00.007+08:00

English Language 66 (B3)
Chinese 60 (B4)
History 63 (B4)
Literature 69 (B3)!!!

Mathematics 93 (A1)
Science 73 (A2)!!!
Geography 71 (A2)
Design & Technology 77 (A1)
Visual Arts 78 (A1)

Visual Arts grading was so unfair T_T
My mask was displayed and yet... such a low A1 mark.
XiuYun and Jasper was worse.
XiuYun's mask was really nice but in the end she got quite low for Art.
Unfair. Janet the bitch got 75% because of this stupid grading T_T

Average 72.2%

Heheh. HuiYen got 71% and Pearlyn 67%! JYJY :)
Our class got highest in level for Science and Geography because Jasper is such a pro shit.

happy birthday Serene

2008-08-27T20:35:00.013+08:00

Happy Birthday Serene!!!
A piece of great news today!!!
2R4 won 2nd place in Racial Harmony and 1st in Biggest Sales for FIESTA '08!!!
HOORAY!!! Finally, all the effort we put in making the chocolate mousses and selling it paid off!!!
Thanks Michelle, XiuYun, Jasmine, HuiYen, JunJie, Jasper and HuiJie, Serene, XinYi, Janet (for helping us sell)!!! :D (Hope I didn't miss out anyone)

so the tables turn

2008-08-26T15:45:00.007+08:00

Wonder why I posted? Because I am bored -.-
And, I'm waiting for tuition to start.

Haha, I'm back!
I'm going to put a blog song later by Aly & A.J.
It might sound really Disney, but the song IS nice. Save your efforts trying to deny it :)

igniting in my veins

2008-08-25T17:19:00.009+08:00

School is better because I brought my book along. If not, I will just have to sit there and do nothing.
I'm currently reading up my past Chinese exam papers and taking down notes and stuff -.- I got 60 for Chinese overall, it's a miracle, really.
Anyway, The Kite Runner is about to be finished. After like what, 3 months?!
It's a great book, though :)
After this, I'll have to study Science (I still can't get electricity, seriously) and do my tuition homework. I'm feeling so lazy.
I'll also have to stay back tomorrow to finish up my D&T project :( I have to get home by 4 if not I'll be dead! Argh. Which means that I have to end the stupid project by 3. Totally crazy. Well, at least I'm better because Jun Jie is still buffing the workpiece. Haha.
Hmm, today was quite okay but I was a little pissed off by Janet because she hurled vulgarities again. Argh. I'll try to find a way to stop her from using so much of her "colourful" language. So much for a "good heart" :(
I have to stop listening to other's rants, saying that they totally did not study for the exams and yet scored higher than me. It seriously makes me complacent and pissed off. I know that you write 5 pages of notes every day, alright. What is so bad about telling others you studied? You obviously want people to know you're born smart or you can ace exams without lifting a textbook right? Oh I'm online everyday and I don't study. I'm so smart. Yawn.
I went home alone today. The odd group had to stay back for extra D&T, Isaac pulled HuiYen away for CCA matters and Serene ate lunch outside of home, haha.
Bye.

english results

2008-08-22T18:14:00.007+08:00

I decided to blog after HuiYen went offline! :)
Today, I got back my English scripts. I screwed it up, obviously.
One of the pages had only 1 mark. My summary couldn't even turn things around. This is so crappy, I would either just pass my English or get A1 for it. Same goes for Chinese. Sickening.
Ee Hui Jie got 38 but she then got 40 because of her comprehension marks!!! Argh. How I wish getting extra marks was THAT convenient for me.
The highest is 49.5 I think. That's mad, in short. I can still remember getting 50 marks for a stupid practice paper in Sec 1.
In between lessons I slept, and while I was sleeping, I just suddenly shook the table, which was scary. I immediately woke up after that. I've experienced this quite a lot of times. The shaking, lol.
After school I went to Tampines Mall to get Serene's birthday present.
Bye.

looking back

2008-08-20T23:21:00.009+08:00

I spent some time just now looking back into the past and trying to figure out how much I've matured.
I used to keep a diary which was frequently collecting dust as I could not bother to update it. However, it kind of was sufficient to help me think about some things. The diary was kept from around the last few months of 2006.
Okay... so my entries were always about my primary school classmates. I wrote in a gay way also =X. I wrote about Timothy, EnYong, MingXuan, MingRui, Zoey, Samantha and all those who were closer to me in my P6 days, about Jody, Azhari and Jeneva when I was in P4, all my arguments with YeYin, and the time where I was obsessed with pop and hip-hop music, haha. I kind of found it silly but I was a good read, even though it was really, really gay-ed out. I also wrote about how tense I felt when I received my PSLE results and when I first stepped into Ngee Ann for registration, and I pictured how we had to sit in a circle and introduce ourselves.
I wrote about the games we played during Orientation, the part where we had to tie our feet together, about me slacking away during my previous CCA and watching my classmates play soccer from the volleyball court. Also, I wrote about the time I went to watch the volleyball match against NYGH and the tuna sandwich Isaac bought for me to eat in the excursion bus.
I wrote about the time when me and my friends had IT enrichment and ate cup noodles on a rainy day. I wrote about a lot of things which happened in my Sec 1 life, like my first lunch with HuiJie and Pearlyn, the fight between Jasper and me, and lots more.
This is such a silly post. But, it makes me think back about the happier things that happened in 2007, the relationships I sparked with my classmates which grew colder in time.
My parents had this totally crazy idea to transfer my brother to Poi Ching so he can take HCL. I hope that doesn't work out, 'cause if he can't handle it, don't let him take it. Even though his Chinese is loads better than me when I was his age -.- I can't help it if English is just my language what. I DID score an A1 for Chinese before alright :) At least I'll still have English to give me an A. (which is really hard so I'm going to tyco. I got 72 so far.)

too-pid!

2008-08-19T14:44:00.003+08:00

My results just got worse. Although I got 93 for Maths and 75 for D&T, I almost flunked my Science. SCIENCE. That was so unexpected. If it was Maths, I wouldn't be so surprised. I'm so amazing. 23/40. Great feat. Fabulous. That's a 58. ALL HAIL ME. -.-
Okay enough of my sarcasm. Really, I didn't know what to think that time. I knew I would not get an A1, but I didn't expect myself to do so badly. I thought I would get around 26 to 27. Shucks.
Thank goodness I managed to scrape a 76 for my total mark, because my Mid-years helped pull me up. If not, I'll be D-E-A-D.
Jasper and Janet, I hate you!!! :( Cheat my feelings sia, one get A1 for Geography & Science and the other one get full marks for Maths. Rawr.
One last shot...

craptastic

2008-08-18T18:13:00.006+08:00

Today was craptastic :(
I felt a little depressed and we got back our History SBQ, Chinese and Geography papers!!!
For History, I just passed (by half a mark) the SBQ which totally sucks!!! (Some even got 0, idk how they did that -.-) The teacher will be re-marking 'cause she was being really strict though!
For Chinese, I don't want to talk about it. I just passed (by a mark) due to my craptastic MCQ!!!!! I failed both the freaking sections for goodness' sake!!! I could have got the freaking 49 marks!!! LIFE SUCKSSSS!!! The worst thing is I'M NOT EMO-ING! T_T
For Geography, I got an A2. I need the stupid 2 marks desperately :/
Anyway, bad day to sum it all up!!!
I also got invited to Rebekah's barbecue -.- HuiYen, please go or else I really will be a fish out of water. Hohoho -.-
This time of year so many pengkang-ings. My relatives are having one soon also O_O
Goodbye!

midnight post!

2008-08-16T00:12:00.003+08:00

Olympics heat rushing down my spine! Singapore secured a medal for the Olympics in table tennis. What an amazing feat for the nation. I mean, it's been over 40 years since our last medal (Bronze/Silver?).
Alright... school is always so boring :l Seriously. I went to POD after school to have lunch, quite funny but it's a little rushed.
After that I went for CCA and took the bus home, I alighted earlier and walked back home as I wanted to think about some stuff and clear my mind. I am feeling quite depressed nowadays as no one is real anymore. All I see is "Pearlyn mama disown Jasmine daughter, want her to marry Jasper kor" and Janet dancing. Also, Isaac is treating me like crap again. I don't know what to do :l HuiYen has been talking to me about friendship and stuff. I mean, even if we patch up, things can never be the same again. I have no intention of doing too also. I'd rather save my breath.
I can't wait to graduate from Sec 2 and pick a new class next year. As much as I love 2R4, I hate to be part of it sometimes. There's so many mumblings and whispers, makes me feel tired and sick. I'm not worried if I'm not accepted. I don't even care if I am ugly or nerdy or that I like designing. I'm just doing my own thing.
CCA sucks too. I don't hate it but it's so difficult to communicate with my mates. Some people are such a bother. Yawn.
I just came back from the movies with my parents and brother, we watched "Money Not Enough II". It was quite funny at the starting scenes and also quite heartbreaking when they tell the story of the mother. Overall, the plot is quite irrelevant to the movie's theme as they talk about the problems with their family and the problems of money were not really shown or exaggerated.
There's a girl who's strikingly familiar who stars in the movie. I think she's from Ngee Ann -.- I forgot her name.
Anyway, it's still a Singaporean film theatre classic as there's slang, ERP blues and etc. Haha.

haha days

LOL. Something funny today. During Maths, HuiJie told me about how she had to get a new phone. It was because she once put it in a bag and her sister thought it was supposed to be thrown away, so she threw it into the dustbin without telling HuiJie, until the next day when she realised it was missing, AND THE GARBAGE TRUCK ALREADY LEFT. Oh my gosh hahahaha!!!!!!
Okay today I was quite sad. Not sure why, though. I completed my E. Lit and D&T papers half-heartedly, that's why I had no idea of the 5mm and 10mm stuff they were talking about. Sigh, I think I'll get 5 marks deducted off the ortographic drawings. Hate them, really.

working my ass off

Hellozxzxs, I have gone REALLY crazy 'cause I have to cram in one whole chapter of Geography, knowing that I won't do well in it!! ...Argh? -.-!
Then there's Maths tomorrow also, gosh!! So much to study for D&T also, but I choose not to care 8)
I kind of averaged it out today I guess. I think I'm flunking my Chinese. w/e :O

olympic freak?

2008-08-11T11:03:00.011+08:00

The past few days were wasted away watching the Olympics. Well I did read some notes a little, but the majority goes the the once-in-4-years games. I don't think I'm prepared for the tests :O
It was such a pity Tao Li did not get any medals for Singapore in her swimming. I guess it's extremely hard to also. I even stayed up till 2am last night just to watch the repeat of the Archery Women's Team Gold Medal Match :O
What a pity Ian Thorpe retired from the Olympic Games -.-
Yesterday was the silliest day... ever, I guess. I was at Tampines Swimming Complex and wanted to get a Coke, when it dropped into the dispenser (it's bottle shaped I think) there was a weird metal obstruction blocking the bottom of the dispenser so I had to try really hard to get the Coke bottle out, and in the end the skin on my finger was peeled off and it bled -.- It was so stupid.

I see their eyes and noses!

I'd go in if I were you.

Don't waste wastes, OK! :)

Something to make your day, perhaps?

Oh yes, I submitted a new skin too, click here. Do rate if you have an account and the time! Thanks :)

Bye :O

FIESTA

2008-08-08T13:55:00.004+08:00

FIESTA was tiring, mainly because it was sooo noisy and all the people were cramming into the temporary set-up. I really didn't need Chinatown right in the middle of the basketball court :( I had to stand up on the benches and call people over but to no avail.
Plus, few people purchased our chocolate mousses (though those who purchased enjoyed it) and fewer people purchased the teddy bears, partly because it was $4 and the U.P. of the bears were $12.50 (IMO, it is FREAKING overpriced), and they were just palm-sized. We raised around $450 in the end, inclusive of the soccer proceeds. Too bad the money isn't going into the class fund, instead, it will be given away to charity. Who knew money had wings too.
Bleaugh, I need to read my Science. I want Sara Bareilles' album. Hahaha.

chocolate mousse

Yo. School was alright I guess? Nothing's changed since. I got 97% for Maths and was 1 mark away from full, and I lost a mark maybe because of a careless mistake in the graph, I think. Oh well.
After school, I went to Jasper's house to make the chocolate mousses along with Michelle, XiuYun, Jasmine, HuiYen, JunJie etc. I didn't really chip in much but I kind of promised I would help them sell the mousses like hotcakes, lol. We went to his house first and played a game of Monopoly, but when we were setting up the game someone knocked down a water jug and it spilled across the floor like a flood. Lmao. Also, when Michelle, XiuYun and Jasmine arrived we were 15 minutes late in meeting them because we wanted to continue our game, which angered Jasmine quite badly later :X
Michelle lives really close to Jasper so it's really very convenient for them to travel between houses.
After all the work was done, we took 403 from outside her house and when the bus drove to the end of the road it turned about, which was pretty cool as it took passengers from bus stops at both ends. Hahaha. We then arrived at Jasper's usual alighting stop and parted ways.
I'm tired and I desperately need to study + complete my mask, so I'll end it here.

it kind of crept up into me by surprise

2008-08-04T18:32:00.002+08:00

Last Saturday was spent at JunJie's house doing the E. Lit project. I am so glad we got it over and done with, hahaha.
As I am too lazy to blog a whole chunk of paragraph about it...
On board bus 81, almost missed my bus stop because I didn't ring the bell, was the first to reach, waited at the bus stop, got a great scare by HuiYen as she tapped me at the back, met the rest and left for JunJie's house, started reading the chapters, started on the project, hyper-ed around, did the Ellen dance, cracked some jokes, drank carrot juice, wrapped up the presentation, listened to 987, fooled around with JunJie's Rubik's cubes, got freezed by the fan, irritated by the ringing sounds of his fax machine, played MapleStory, watched Jeremy Hong on YouTube, had MSN conversations with Melissa and Isaac... I guess that's it.
I am expected to get the "Compare and Contrast" SBQ clear by this week and the format for Chinese formal letter writing clear by the EOYs. It. Is. Murder.
Bye.
