ALL THE OTHER KIDS WITH THE PUMPED UP KICKS

2012-01-10T01:39:00.002+08:00

Addictive song!! Jolynn has good music taste(:

School started today homg. Finally started doing work heh. Plan: finish math and chem this week, chiong bio after that.

Timetable sucks): Gen's timetable is damn good haha sheesh odd combis so odd timetables. No more Ms Baig): Quite sad la she's a good teacher! Changed GP teacher and homeroom on the 4th floor. Looks like I'll start climbing stairs again haha I'm quite sure we'll end up running up after breaks.

J2 J2 J2 need to start mugging nao. Haven't touched history in a million years (ganggg we need to make notes).

Open House tomorrow(: hope it's fun haha although I'm going damn late.

Wasting my time on youtube twitter FACEBOOK okay back to math.

Blank?

2012-01-01T23:33:00.002+08:00

The blogger interface now is much cleaner, but idk it feels too blank for me. Then again maybe I just feel blank. 1st day of the New Year...I hope I get my bearings soon, school hasn't started yet but when it does 2012 will be a mad one.

Haven't visited this place in ages. I like posting on wordpress-they cheer you after every post, and they started this annual summary thing! Got a year's summary of my blog-not actually much content, but the way they presented it was very pretty.

But of course blogger is my more public one and I realised people tagged lol. Hello henghwee I hope you're doing well(: sec 4 year woah have fun!! I was supposed to be mugging cos jc=mug like mad but of course I didn't haha. Kinda screwed when school reopens but I'll chiong soon;)

AYJ no lorrr at least I still blog unlike someone. My tagboard gets a ton of spam though-.- hello yuhui and melia nice to know you still check this place haha.

I wish I had made more time to blog-end of the year and I'm starting to remember all the things I neglected to blog about. Lunch with Part Cs was amusing, and I'm pretty glad we'll be seeing them next year(: Maybe we should do another lunch with them haha. Most of them should be around during JIP? One went for CLT course! I'm not sure how that will turn out in the long run, but I'm sure she did well and I wish her all the best(:

Other things I never write about: sleepover at Kim's house! I am Very Good at suanning AYJ ahaha and it was same old Twelvian stuff-epic British tv shows and Kim's craziness. Macs for lunch because some things never change, massage cycle at night because we're all getting old and stressed. Amusing things-next year we need a proper reunion omg. Post-As~

And trainings! Never did write about our last two Bukit Timah trainings, epic much haha. Leyong leading us onto the wrong bus on both occasions-the first time Melvin stopped him, the second time the other guys had tapped their cards so we went off on an adventure! And ended up at Adam Rd hawker centre haha. Icecream after that though(: at Island Creamery. And then we got drenched walking in the rain to the mrt when we all had ponchos, and all fell slightly sick after that. Leyong splashed water on himself and the rain stopped after we reached the mrt haha wts. Freak our last training was mad. Tired as hell but I was so glad when it ended heh. Second last was pretty epic too-5 people for training._. went for lunch with 2 guys complaining they were hungry every 5 minutes, nearly got on the wrong bus, nearly dragged Leyong to Old Airport Rd, Melvin bought sushi, it rained like mad too, and when we finally got to Holland V we settled for Wendy's. Our phones all died, and then Leyong's dad picked him up leaving us two easties in the west without dessert haha.

Haven't been reading blogs lately, and I thought Deenie stopped blogging lol. 413! I haven't seen my crazy, crazy ex-classmates in too long, miss them all like mad omg. Nothing like going out with them(: laughter never stops. Nothing will ever replicate our time in class together (unique brand of noise where everyone is talking!), and I guess I treasure them much more now.

11:11! I wish this year will work out well.

I know it may not be a good year. Okay no I know it will be a hard year. And while school culture now is nothing like it was in RG, I trust my friends will make it through together(: and I just trust that we'll all come out okay.

We survived 2011! It felt a bit surreal-sometimes it was crazy, it sucked a lot, there were happy moments here and there (some clumped together and some very far away), but we came out of it older and I guess we all learnt something, so maybe wiser too. Bit late now, but Happy New Year(:

This year we missed RG a hell lot. Maybe it's because it's our first year away but there's really nothing like RGS. Nothing like the school, the teachers, the non-teaching staff, the food (mostly not very good but you have things like samosas and fried chicken!), and most of all the people. No one like your classmates (who are all crazy in their own way), platoonmates, batchmates, seniors and juniors. Relationships are slightly different outside RG, maybe it's because of the sheltered bubble it provided us with. I know some missed it more than others but I know everyone missed RG.

Happy moments! I know there were periods of time where we were happy(: or at least content with life, because jc life is so much freer. And then there were periods where life sucked, really bad days every few weeks, a few shitty months, where we learnt why seniors said 'jc is shit'._. incredibly grateful for all the people around me because I know I never would have made it through this year largely okay/content without them(:

Mildly dysfunctional slightly crazy extended family! Dramas will be dramas, but at the end of the day we can laugh at ourselves and we don't say it but there's always an underlying current of love. And I'm so glad for them because we will always band together, everyone supports each other, and the clan may be small but we are also very united(:

Long post! K off to watch Black Hawk Down now heh.

Odac sleepover/chalet thing tomorrow :D sounds exciting.

iPhone battery life sucks

2011-12-06T22:07:00.001+08:00

So annoyed my phone died even before it reached 20%!

Apple please update your os soon zomg and fix batt life issues.

Things to buy:
Sneakers (x2)
Sleeping mats
Christmas presents!

Went shopping for all my dec ex stuff on Sunday, I spent so much time in changing rooms trying on shorts-.- but I bought just about everything(: only my mum wants me to bring so much stuff dunno how I'll fit it into my bag :/

Also bought a ton of books hahaha I am back to my 'walk into a bookstore walk out with a book' phase. Went to a book fair and came out with more than 10 books heehee. Probably have like 50 new books to read now._.

And so many movies to watch!

Training tomorrow is mad early omg gotta wake up at 6. Hope it doesn't rain!

Room cleaning and then sleep for the night. Gen comes back tomorrow(:

as deep as the sky under my skin

2011-12-02T01:08:00.001+08:00

1am in the morning. Tomorrow promises to be a busy day, 3 places to go, 3 groups to meet...gotta be home by 11 for training on Saturday.

Productivity has been stuck at zero. Need to mugmugmug oh dear :/

But tomorrow sounds fun(: and maybe it'll get my appetite back on track.

Watched Tintin with my sister today! Was not bad(: Pretty funny. Gotta stop missing the start of movies though sigh. Really long queue at GV today, and looking at all the kids, I realised Tampines Mall was our old hangout. We don't go there anymore, we go to Orchard, we go to City Hall, we go to Dhoby Ghaut. Places I know fairly well...TM seems like the hangout for primary school kids dressing up to go out with their friends and sec school kids trying to grow up, to be mature. Take your time guys, enjoy youth, enjoy school. School gets crappier, things get complicated.

Seems like the young kids (tweens?) keep trying to grow up._. I don't know, I thought we were never like that. Maybe it's generation gap...I know my sister can't wait to wear my clothes.

Why does no one seem to listen to Lifehouse! They're not a bad band, their songs are okay, lyrics are quite simple but make sense...maybe they're a bit obscure haha.

Good Charlotte came and left. They were my favourite band for years and I didn't have the money to go watch):

I keep feeling like I want to do too much. I want to do everything-I want to read, watch movies, kayak, cycle etc. Would love to do everything. And I haven't been doing what I need to do-study, edit photos for photog etc. Failed goals aside, I really want to kayak and cycle next week! Don't know how I'm gonna find the time, or energy...last 3 trainings of the year. I want to make them count.

I miss you! Thankfully this is a different you from the one I've been talking about the past few days (although yeah I still miss you like mad. And it hasn't even been a week wtpongz) You did a lot in helping me get through the year-sometimes you were there first, and sometimes you understood my silly idiosyncrasies because you have the same ones too haha.

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." -Dr Seuss

Happy December(: This holiday definitely isn't as...packed as last year's, I spent a lot more time for slacking around haha. Should probably get up and start doing stuff soon, I hope it's a fulfilling month.

There was another quote I really wanted to put up, but I don't remember it now): past 1am my brain starts to go a little (just a little) mad.

'Everyone is normal until you find their twitter' (this is not the quote btw) I honestly think normal is overrated? Everyone is weird in their own way-it can be construed as unique, but I believe everyone is a little weird somehow, be it good or bad. But yeah, twitter (and stalking a couple of tumblrs) shows you everyone is fighting their own battles. Maybe it's too much overanalysing on our parts, but the thoughts are there nonetheless.

Sometimes your thoughts can be the scariest thing? And sometimes you're fighting a battle against yourself. Idk just know I need to get over It and find all the old courage I had. Feel different this year, and somehow it feels worse rather than better to me, but then again I don't know if its just a resistance to change.

I don't really know what I'm doing, and it matters now. Sometimes I had no idea what I was doing, but I did it anyway, partly because we were brave enough to do it, partly because we were naive, partly because our pride was at stake, and partly because we didn't care if we did the silliest things. It didn't really matter if we did ridiculous stuff. We were confident everything would be alright in the end, we were confident in our ability to make it right. Guess we were kinda sheltered, actually...but it was good while it lasted. We were so sure we could do anything, we were ready to try anything. If that's our way of living, we definitely lived. Live a little-we were definitely happy.

Muchness. Do you ever feel less of yourself?

Screw you, I will get over It by the end of next year and I will find that bit of craziness intertwined with courage, and optimism, and maybe a little stupidity.

1am in the morning and I start writing more abstractly hm. First tuition session this Saturday!! I nearly forgot.

Stomach growling-time to sleep. Army market and food, and maybe a couple of movies tomorrow(:

More Charlottes

2011-11-28T00:24:00.001+08:00

I realised my bio wasn't updated, so I just did, and cleared my links. Haven't really talked to most of these people in awhile-school life now isn't like it was in RG. Most people knew each other and we could stop and talk about random things and crash conversations so long as we knew someone. Batch is too big now.

Most people stopped blogging. Also, I stopped reading. For me not blogging generally means not reading most blogs-but I need to sleep soon. If you haven't blogged in several months, I probably cleared your blog. Except those I keep because I think you might start blogging again one day, albeit on a different url. So many blogs I haven't read, so many lives I haven't been keeping up with.

Going to update wordpress when I finish my list of things to blog about. And then after that carry on writing about post-Promos, because I doubt I'll have much time to blog a lot next year.

Hope training tomorrow is good <:

I like gelato

2011-11-27T23:06:00.001+08:00

People talking about their ideal proposals and soulmates on whatsapp, I love you 413 hahaha.

Why does my hair look really good right before I shower sigh. I like short hair! No matter what anyone says. Although admittedly I did cut a little too short. I like my hair now(: Still contemplating whether to cut it next year lol.

Training tomorrow~ Conditioning is pretty shit, but it feels good to be fitter! Can't wait to go to HK (and get out of Singapore), Dec Ex sounds damn good(: I have lots of stuff to buy before it though haha.

Jinghui is in Bhutan, Gen is in Australia, Shawn is in Vietnam. I miss you guys tell me all about your trips when you get back k!

Sigh I was so sure I would be in Kenya now, but it was Not To Be. Tomorrow onwards is going to be productive! Not going to laze in bed alternating between facebook twitter games random websites anymore haha haven't done work since Promos, and my to-do list grows longer every holiday.

I changed twitter name today, cranberrychase popped into my head randomly but its already taken. Chase was a drama series Channel 5 used to air way back in primary school. I really liked it! I think I watched every episode haha. Tell me if you watched it heh I haven't found anyone else who did. And I liked the songs too. They were sung by Corrinne May...later on in RG I found out Corrinne May was our senior, which just made it cooler haha. Maggie reminded me Chase is also the name of a doctor from House! I like Chase...he's quite cute haha. The earlier seasons of house are the best~

I like cinnamon(: Thought of cinnamoncane too but that's taken so I settled for a mix haha. Cinnamon reminds me of Cinna from Hunger Games! Which comes out next year Goldenhairs we need to watch it together k(:

Minah outing to the beach being planned, CIP being planned...if I don't get the ukulele one I have other CIP things to do, just need to find people to do it with haha.

I want to cycle and I want to kayak. Sometimes I feel like I want to do too much. I want to rockclimb too. I want to do community service when I have time. I need to study. I want to do so many things. So many books I want to read, so many movies I want to watch, so many tv series I want to marathon and fangirl about with my best friends. I think if I became a hobo for a year and did nothing but read and watch movies/tv series I still wouldn't be able to finish hahaha.

I want to do a Disney movie marathon! Where I can watch a few of my favourite movies with awesome songs and happy endings with some of my favourite people and believe for a few hours that the world is a happy, happy place, and if you're a good person you'll get your happily ever after in the end. Not that the world isn't a happy place, but Disney has a very optimistic, cheerful outlook that can leave you in a happy bubble. Which is good until the bubble bursts.

Tomorrow onwards will be Productive. Gonna keep blogging and checking things off on my to-do list, this holiday may be very different from the last one but I want to make it a fulfilling month. It's only one month now. So much to do, and then it'll be next year. I hope when I look back, I'll have accomplished most of my resolutions.

Haven't posted photos in very long! So I'll end with a recent one.

Watched my first-ever rugby game last week! I took the photo heehee.

A recent one that I was in, on the other hand...

Island Creamery after training(: Picnik is funnn and somehow I like this photo more even though its super oversaturated and Rosie's eyes are closed.

Clearing the cobwebs

2011-11-27T16:36:00.001+08:00

So! If you read this place regularly I figure you'll realise that I haven't been here since forever.

Figured I might as well update it, but...where to start? Wordpress reminds me of a list of things I meant to blog about, along with everything of interest that happened post-promos.

Will start talking on wordpress, but I'll be back here(: school is finally, finallyyyyy over, but nonetheless I have a never-ending list of things to do-not least my post-promos happy list.

Been lazing around for the past few weeks, it feels pretty good to be disorganised. But hols have started, and I figure its time to get everything back in order, clean my room (again), and plan my schedule. Haven't touched my laptop in a few weeks too.

Work to do, outings to organise, things to get back in order, next year to prepare for.

Hey everybody, I hope you have a great Dec hols(:

Off to shower, and once I finish my to-do list for today I will be blogging again!! Kinda excited(:

宁死不屈

2011-10-28T18:04:00.001+08:00

I WILL PASS CHINESE

Annoyed

2011-10-20T17:45:00.001+08:00

Okay gonna do my I&R by dinner, send it to Gen and see what she says.

And then I can slack off for today and look at old fb stuff and reminisce about good old times(:

Hardcore chinese starts tomorrow. Chinese As in 10 gotta start asap.

Freaking unfit cannot stand it.

Been looking back at what I wrote in sec 4 and I feel like I was wiser then, maybe I am regressing after all):

Haven't done stuff like send important work emails in ages when emailing a teacher I suddenly forgot what I usually write and the style and all. Wtp.

Lessons start next week again grahhh. Howhowhow gotta mug chinese gotta prac op like mad too my group hasn't been doing anything. Gotta do my tutorials they're all untouched.

Need to get back into the hardcore work mentality! Like nowwww okay bye off to do I&R.

Everyday I pray for calm

2011-09-29T21:33:00.001+08:00

Math was quite the disaster today, really calm throughout though(:

Spent too much time at the start though I didn't do a 2m question which I so knew how to do!! Rageeeee.

I really hope that 2m isn't the difference between grades): so frustrated grah.

Bio tomorrow, I don't think I'm sleeping early tonight. I pray for extreme calm during the paper though. I really don't want to freak out.

Thank god I was so calm today(: I don't know how many marks I lost but it's okay, I can only hope for a pass now.

At least math is over! Bio is tomorrow and I'm going in without practice homg.

I pray for calm and good memory and inspiration. And writing speed.

Only 2 left it'll all be over soon!!

Hp kids ended already lucky or what!! But they had econs and lit yesterday._.

Can't wait for mondayyyy.

Jiayou everybody!! Gonna get through
Bio as fast as I can then sleeppp.

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON #mottoforexams

Run baby run, don't ever look back

2011-09-19T22:23:00.001+08:00

Today:

1) Mugging in school in the morning wasn't very productive but it was not baddd because my sec 4 classmates are all crazy like that. Like DawnHo hahaha. Jinghui you need to join us next time!

2) Slept too late so I had 100 plus today sigh even before school started. But it saved me a lot of fatigue so idk.

3) Was only done with glycolysis when we got tested for respiration during bio. Pongzzz but I got 8.5/14! :D admittedly boon probably marked kinda leniently but it shows I'm not that bad huh. On the other hand, really need to look at bio questions omg can't just rely on notes. I thought the questions were asking for something totally different.

4) Happy Birthday Boon!

5) Kinda dao-ed Persa today before she shouted at me (thank god she did) felt so bad for not responding immediately omg. I love you k<3

6) A for math assignment 7A, B for math assignment 7B. Hell yeah I'm gonna pass math >)

7) My phone decided to be very active when I was listening during Bio. Both Gen and the school library called in the middle of lesson hahaha. But Wednesday looks promising(:

8) Bomb I don't think you'll read this soon but good luck k don't stress we're gonna make it through this!!

9) Studying in school with the whatsapp gang tomorrow until late. Hope we're productive(:

10) Kayy time to stop being so unfocused and get back to work!

You're on the right track baby you were born this way hey

2011-09-18T23:14:00.001+08:00

I don't understand why my weekends are so unproductive):

Whatever happens tomorrow and on Tuesday, I just need to remember the week will get better. It gets better. The start of the week is always pretty bad for me, its gonna get betterrrrrr.

Majorly unproductive today >( praying my efficiency increases. Slacking too much where did all my focus go):

The week is gonna get betterrrrrr. Always think long-term.

Finally finished viruses!! Okay math then start on respiration then I'll sleep.

Jiayou everybuddy~ and to sec 4s, congrats on surviving eoys(: you're almost there! Don't have much left so enjoy all your time k!! Make the most of your time now options are so free so go crazy and do whatever you want~

Well mostly quite free haha sometimes the workload is as bad as usual._. dear juniors have fun WE WILL GO OUT SOON K :D

Promos in less than 10 TIME TO MUG after 11.11.

Streetlight people

2011-09-12T02:08:00.000+08:00

I am so tired right now.

Bio is very, very screwed I haven't done any mugging for days. Mostly thanks to PW. I really needed to do Bio but I didn't. Besides all the time spent on PW, today(yesterday) marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I happened to open the TIME commemorative issue at night, and then I figured I'd just stop work and read it. So I read late into the night, and then I downloaded the LIFE app and looked at really good photos of a really terrible tragedy and read the captions/short stories of the photos too.

Spent quite a bit of time on it but like Likeen said, it seemed wrong to just continue on with PW and Promos.

That day changed the rest of the decade, it changed the world. I remember a few days later my good friend (we were p1 back then) told us her grandmother had passed away in the attacks, she'd just walked into the building. Back then we didn't realise how sad it was, how tragic the events were):

Remembering all the heroes of 9/11<3 The US would do well to learn from them now.

On another note, PW is the bane of my grades. Maybe I won't sleep tomorrow, I really need to do Bio and Math. Really need to get through all the stuff I planned for the day.

I think it's time to sleep.

7 September 2011

2011-09-07T20:00:00.001+08:00

1) Wtp I didn't know periodicity was tested until today. Gen I am so sorry!!!! D:2) Missing channel 5's story of Wicked tonight to mug sigh. But Wicked is coming so excited :D3) I am gonna get my tickets soon >D 15% discount before end of sept!! Going to get that discount manz.4) I LOVE KIMBERLEY LOCKE. Just wasted half an hour watching her heh but I really like her!!5) I watched criminal minds yesterday(: yesterday was not wasted, albeit academically it was but I needed the break.6) Sometimes, the worst feeling is being alone in a crowded room :/ as much as I am fond of solitude I haven't liked being alone much recently, makes me wonder why.7) So much to mug omfg. Okay going to study now hope I do okay for mock promo tomorrow!!

I AM GOING TO DO OKAY FOR PROMOS.

2011-09-06T01:28:00.001+08:00

So, Starhub is a bitch, Sept hols are, as always, no way a holiday in any sense of the word, and I am, as usual in recent times, behind work, both academic and extracurricular.

Starhub is a bitch-it blocked my blog as an unsafe site after the technicians had to monitor my internet when my home internet was down for 4 days straight. After a lot of patience and rage on my parents' part, I had internet-it was screwy without a direct connection, but thankfully I have both the direct connection for my laptop and an iphone.

This is also why, friend, I haven't replied you. Also because of laziness on my part cos blogger tends to lag on my phone :/ So yeah sorry I haven't replied your tags for ages :/ Goldensriah is an anagram of my friends' group name. We formed groups to play volleyball way back in sec 3 during pe haha. It's a random name but my sec 3/4 classmates are all crazy like that(: Yeah I was their mascot haha cos my hair used to be really really brown (it's so much darker now): Part Cs are my juniors. In NCC every level is named after a letter, sec 1 is Part A, sec 2 is Part B etc. The way RGSNCC runs our unit is every sec 4 is in charge of a part (one level), I was a Part C NCO(: So I was in charge of them. NCO is non-commisioned officer btw, it's an army term. It just means we're in charge of them and fully responsible for them lol. I figure you'll read this sooner or later, so-hope your promo mugging is going well, or at least better than my progress so far(:

Sept hols are not a holiday and I need to step up my mugging. Whatever I said on wordpress, I am only about 1/4 done with carbo and I haven't started lipids. Going to sleep soon and wake up early tomorrow. Tomorrow will be productive ttm and I will finish bio all the way to M&M!!! (hooray for optimism)

I may be behind work but I'm going to catch up!! I am not going to fail promos I am not going to retain omfg. I am going to do okay. I am going to do okay. Goals for promos: BBBCDE. I am not going to fail anything, anything at all. Praying I will work hard enough to be satisfied with my promo results. (the above is subject-specific btw but you don't need to know which subjects)

I am not going to let participating in NDP affect my grades in any way. This is why I missed R1 outing): Even though it really sucks but when I signed up for NDP I was very clear that I'm not going to let it affect my grades and I really needed the time. Henghwee if you read this I know I sound very grades-oriented. I'm not that kind of person, but RJ is that kind of place and grades are the first thing that matters here sigh.

Extracurricular-wise, we're going to pull our Kenya project off. Post-promos, we're going to work like mad and bring all our materials and resources there and Kenya is going to be awesome. Time to really work hard for this service project after promos.

Everything I want to blog about:
-Preview & NDP
-Last day of school and Teachers' Day celebrations
-My family. (this will likely be locked on wordpress but this is just for my info lol)

Going through all the work, all the mugging...is imho pretty insignificant. But I want to write down stuff about everything above, complete with photos. Sigh this is all relegated to my post-promos list of things to do. But, thursday in brief:

Teachers' Day was wonderful. 413 is the craziest, most amazing class I have ever had the fortune to be in, and I am so grateful for everybody and all the times we had in RG. My RG uniform is actually really long, but as comfortable as ever. RGS feels like home, and when we got back to our old classroom everyone went mad cos we were just so comfortable in it. RGS feels so much warmer and more comfortable than RJ will ever be. The whole culture, the whole school, all the people in it.

Met Yanhan, and it was pretty good talking to her(: 'You haven't changed, Clare. You look the same, you speak the same, you act the same, your hair's a little messier-haha now you're touching your hair.' It felt really good hearing that cos recently I've been feeling like I have changed, after all. What happened to the girl who had a constant smile or dao face (hahaha ncc girl), what happened to my passion for fun stuff so much so that I became really good at multitasking and going from place to place for different things): It sucked that I didn't go for R1 outing cos ordinarily I would have gone straightaway. Yeah I may be crazy tired but I still went everywhere, and slept all the time too haha. Okay well that might not always be a good thing (very clear memory of why it can be a bad one) but mostly it was great.

There is so much discontent I, and a lot of people I know feel for the school and the system but I don't have time now and honestly I don't really want to go into all that cos it's so negative. Maybe when I particularly feel really strongly for it. But-I will always be proud to be an RGS girl, but I don't know if (when?) I'll ever be proud to be an RJ girl. (RJ, cos there is no way I will ever be an RI girl.)

Met teachers!!! Sadly Mr Lee was sick (anyone wanna go back with me after promos to talk to him?), but we saw many other teachers and it was pretty great. (ahh no time gotta sleep soon)]

Met Part Cs<3 Saw them in the midst of coke fight hahaha oh man the company was so small but they looked like they were having fun anyway(: Went down to talk to them when Gen came and I miss all my funny little juniors. Who are incredibly sweet omg they gave us cookies!!!<3 Yeah anyway we also figured out they read my blog haha. Part Cs if you're reading this go mug for eoys!! All the best yeah we'll see you after ours are over(:

Persa was sick too I hope you get well soon my friend~

Lunch with Gen was greattttt(: It was pretty chill haha I love how we are so happy :D

Oh yeah nearly forgot, covered Teachers' Day! Likeen's camera is too awesome, prime lens<3 managed to mitigate most of the bad lighting in mph. Most but not all cos I am noob like that sigh they changed lighting for the different acts and I couldn't change settings fast enough :/ practicepracticepractice. Second shift lasted like 15 minutes though heh. Cos they ended early. Have yet to edit and submit photos._.

For some reason I find this photo quite amusing haha. Not taken by any of my friends but I got tagged in it anyway lol.

K time to sleep!! I need to stop procrastinating omg wasted so much time today damn damn damn damn daaaaaamn. Laptop=major time waster much-.- (was supposed to sleep half an hour ago heh if that was my brief account of teachers' day my actual post is going to take hours o.o complete with pictures and reflections haha.)

Tomorrow, efficiency will peak and I will finish bio up to M&M!!! And after that I will eat a pack of M&Ms hahaha :D

The week in 10

1) WORKLOAD IS KILLING ME. I haven't started studying for Promos wtssssss, still struggling to catch up with all my work. Can't believe I haven't started there's so much to do but I already can't finish my current work wtp):

2) Marafiki Wa Kenya! Hope we sell all our ice-cream tomorrow(: dear God please let this not be too little too late please let us pull it off.

3) Outdoor Cooking for training yesterday :D we started our fire pretty quickly. Dinner with Gen, Melvin and Leyong(:

4) PW is the bane of my life omggg our WR is really dying. Praying our attempts to revive it this weekend will be successful.

5) I need to go to church soon. Been feeling it for awhile now.

6) Yifeng bought me a real British RAF badge from Reach Cambridge!! Relic from WWII!!! My inner history(military?) buff died of happiness when I saw it heh thankyou(((((:

7) Went home with Likeen today! And made a new friend haha. I figure you'll read this soon so thanks for waiting(:

8) Gen & Shawn=favourite people in school forever<3

9) RG in a week!! Exciteddd can't wait to go back and see Part Cs! And of course meet teachers too I really miss all my favourite teachers omg. Only problem is I can't go back with 2 groups of people): And how do you choose between them sigh I can't pangseh either one. Admittedly my choice has already been made (was it even a choice) but it still sucks that I can't go back with them. But it would suck either way so yeah. Grah clashing commitments :/ but I can't wait to go back I miss RG so much.

10) Sec4 EOYs have started! Dear juniors, good luck!! Study hard and all the best, I'll see you in school next year(: Part Cs called last week after they orded :] Hope they had a good ORD, hope they had a great Part D year.

Traffic lights will guide you home(:

Saw a kid in his stroller today in the train, he was playing with a lightstick that looked similar to the ndp lightsticks, the kind that looks like what people might use to guide a plane down a runway haha. It alternated between red, yellow, and green! :D

Was thinking about traffic lights when I saw that so it gmh.

SPA tomorrow hope it goes well! Bio was good~

Photog today made me want to go back to London so much. I love how most of the structures there aren't just functional, effort and thought went into the design and I love the history! I like how they preserved it, like how they didn't change the architecture of the streets. Missing history trippp one day I'm going back to London.

Not going to be a lone Londoner though haha one day I'm going to backpack around Europe~

Dinner tomorrow :]

ABC rules

2011-08-13T01:06:00.003+08:00

NO MORE LAPTOP.

I STICK TO USING INTERNET ON MY PHONE FROM NOW ON.

WASTED 2.5 HOURS WTP.

Should really just rely on my phone, less of a distraction.

EFFICIENCY+DISCIPLINE, WHERE R U.

Tomorrow, we get back in business

2011-08-12T01:48:00.003+08:00

1) Been majorly unproductive): Came to school late today thanks to History. I took freaking long to finish History sigh I better do okay this time. Got 2h of sleep last night, crashed when I got home today. Tonight has been largely unproductive too.

2) Extreme Productivity starts tomorrow I need to do AQ and mug math, both during school. And after tomorrow it will carry straight to Promos. Hell yeah I'm gonna do okay.

3) Tired of watching people mug, hearing how people are mugging, and not doing anything myself. Not the extreme mugger but gonna be efficient and productive tomorrow onwards.

4) NDP was crazy fun, gonna blog about Preview and 9 August and the whole thing some time or other :D

5) Finished my IH TP at 5.50am. My eyebags today looked the worst this year so far.

6) So much things I want to do, not enough timeeee. I regret not hanging out with 6/12 enough starting to feel a slight disconnect from the fb group D: Time to reconnect.

7) Haven't been here in so long I haven't read Clar's blog in awhile :/ Sucks okay I'm gonna read everything I haven't read SOON.

8) School has been shit as usual but people have been pretty amazing :D

9) Do you ever feel like your life is incomplete if you don't see someone for a few days/a day?

10) I really really need to clean my room.

11) I could do with a proper break, not just pseudo-holidays. Doesn't seem to be happening though what with Promos coming too fast and PW deadlines all over the place.

12) 6/12 is our King, always.

13) 413 foreverrr.

14) We were once Astronauts, Bees, Carabiners. Traffic Lights for all eternity.

15) Aiming to do well for Promos, got to at least do okay. NDP will not affect my grades, nor will anything else. Neither will my grades affect my ability to participate in activities >( Like Grace says, DETERMINATION. LET'S GOOOOOO.

16) Goldensriah hasn't gone out in ages wtp I miss you guys like madddd):

17) GOHYANHAN I don't know if you'll see this but GOOD LUCK FOR EOYS BUDDY(: You'll be great don't worry. We'll go out after exams okayyy.

18) Boss' birthday today/tomorrow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAWLEYONG.

19) Didn't mention this but I regretted not taking a picture at NDP Celebrations in school. Should have taken one with Shawn the Red sighhh. And I wanted to take one of the CCALs cos my attention was focused on one spot with 3 people. Haha Odac Photog UncleJo!! Rachel was very cute holding the torch heh. Bapok always says the best moments can't be captured on camera. No harm trying huh.

20) Still deciding whether to upload NDP photos sheesh they were mostly kinda bad if I ever use them I have no face as a photographer. Majorrr editing to make it look good but...the process to becoming a good photographer is a long (and hard) one. And as Likeen said, there'll always be someone better than you. Besides, I didn't take them because I wanted to take nice photos. I took them because of the people. Memories to last a lifetime, even those I didn't take photos with (CHUAAAA so glad I saw you again and we caught up).

Time to sleep.

Pedestrians

2011-07-25T23:37:00.003+08:00

Just remembered something-Part Cs called on tuesday! Too bad I was still in Bio tutorial): The phone call woke me up heh but I couldn't answer :/

Called back and found out they wanted to sing me a birthday song but they'd already left school by the time I called awwww how sweet(:

Visiting contingent, ushering Anqi, seeing SSG Sharon from afar...I miss my juniors):

Wish we could go out with them again, all of them, with the 3 of us.

♥

Post-CTs

2011-07-25T02:02:00.003+08:00

CT grades have come back and well....they haven't been great. Highest was a C. Didn't fail anything except Chinese OTL. Barely passed in some cases though, and Chinese was a just fail cos I went off-topic for zuowen sigh.

Haven't blogged in ages! More recent stuff will be on wordpress, this is what I wanted to blog after CTs ended haha.

Post CTs, can't remember where I saw this, but: all relationships are special, sacred and deserve to be celebrated. Which made me smile since...relationships are very important to me heh. And today I read something on sixbillionsecrets which mentioned how this girl's worst fear is losing her best friend. While losing my best friend(s) might not be my worst fear let's just say I can't even begin to imagine it haha.

After CTs! Traffic Light Thursday Tea, went out with Gen after Bio and we met Persa in the train(: went to eat at J8, at the new saybons outlet. Shared crepes with Gen and we just sat and talked. Kinda pangseh-ed some of 413 and Shawn :/ but hanging out with them was good, we are Traffic Light and I love how we're always so happy and relaxed how cool are we seriously.

Hung out with 413 on friday! Crashed jingybomb's house after chinese, her baking failed but we just sat and talked for hours. Made her late for pw but it was very good talking to her, and then after that I went to meet 413. Slacked around Nex and then we went all the way to Yishun to watch X-Men Origins!! Haha made so much noise on the train again. X-Men was good wow the plot and the scenes. And it was about Cuban Missile Crisis! CMC was caused by mutants seriously Jolynn and I were talking about the historical bits the whole time. Front row seats but it wasn't too bad. Glad I watched it with them even though I got home quite late heh.

NDP CR3 on Saturday, my first show as an usher! So glad I went because I met SSG Sharon :DDDD So stunned I stopped and froze omg haha I haven't done that since Part A NCOs were around. Talked to her for awhile and she is so outstanding seriously. Got our funpacks and tickets that week too! So life was good and I was very glad I went(:

413 sleepover on sunday we are the coolest class ever which other class holds a sleepover?! Left late and came right when they were finishing dinner whoops. We had loads of people not the whole class but 16? Which is quite alot yeah like half the class. And considering how much noise just 3 of us (Maggie Jolynn and I when we went to study) can make....we were superrr noisy since there were so many of us. Like really noisy I haven't found anything in RJ that can compare to the constant volume of 413 haha. Crashed Andrea's house and watched movies and talked and crammed onto mattresses! Loveeee my sec 4 class so much sleepover was wonderful. '413 didn't have noise, we had laughter' ♥

Left early after that to have lunch with Gen! First time I dressed up to go out (not sure about Gen but I bet it was her first time too haha) cos Persa pangseh-ed us (again): and I didn't bring any other clothes. Had a very very good post-CTs break am very glad I spent it with those people(: No one else better to relax and have fun and go mad with.

Moving on to wordpress to blog about the past 3 weeks, find me there if you know where that is. Everyone in RG, good luck for all your PTs and SAs(:

Pistachios

2011-07-04T23:50:00.003+08:00

My mum bought me a large pack of pistachios when my family went to Malaysia! Heh I like nuts.

CTs were some crazy crazy thing. Studying for them took up most of june hols, which was in barely any sense of the word a holiday at all. So relieved when they ended! Even though I pretty much screwed up most of it sigh. Kinda sucks, study so hard and then you go in for a paper that lasts a couple of hours, chiong through it and still fail it. Not exactly the best feeling in the world knowing that exams in RJ are all like that, but life is like that and we'll just have to deal with it.

Resolved to mug so much harder for promos because I cannot afford to fail. I cannot afford to be retained. When school starts tomorrow, I'm going to work hard and study smart. Got to start counting down to promos, got to get back to work after not doing anything post-cts. So much work to do but it's okay, it'll start tomorrow, I had a great break.

Whatsapp gang!! Expanded ever since CTs ended haha. Original benzene rings was so crazy though, life is mad with 413 hahaha. Very amused at how all of us were all so funny and pretty much psychotic.

Going to look for new mugging places with them once we start mugging for promos heh. Airport!! And mugging all over school._.

Once CTs actually started, they went past very fast. Every day I was running out of time to mug, every day I was running out of time for my papers. All the subjects are really so much more intense this year, and they go really fast so speed and intensity is at maximum levels. Also, I realised people can tell my lack of sleep._. okay not really so far only my best friends can tell my lack of sleep, but 413 people can tell when I'm really tired too o.o Elaine told me I looked really dazed before Chem heh.

Anyway, screwed up CTs ttm. Could have done so much better but ah well, it's our first exams and we'll learn from it. And we'll get better.

On a lighter note, I do a lot of observation when I take the train sometimes! Sometimes I like being alone, to think, to blast music, to just be alone. The other day I saw this NCC girl with a bun on top of her head o.o Dunno what school, looked like one from East. Heh kinda strange cos there were two other girls with their buns at the back of their heads like normal, then her bun was on top o.o And there was this creepy guy I sat next to once who was trying out his galaxy tablet! Which was okay except he was trying out the camera function so he was taking photos of random people omg so scary. Lucky I was next to him so he didn't take a photo of me.

And the number of iphones in the train. It seems like almost half the train has an iphone. Sometimes I wish I didn't have an iphone just because it's so common, but then all the good apps on it make it worthwhile(: So addicted to it at times heh. Whatsapp gang agreed iphone kills our grades :/ And I can customise it anyway, never seen anyone else with my cover and I change wallpapers every so often. I think generally Singaporeans are overdependent on technology, myself included heh.

Good times♥

RGS UK-France History Trip 2010. 11 days can bring emotional balance to my life(: Those were very happy days indeed.

We all changed our fb profile pictures and updated our status to commemorate the one-year anniversary of our departure haha. Miss it like mad! Would love to travel Europe again.

Maggie, Amelia, Jolynn, Zhuo Rong, Grace, Valerie, Me, Gen. Thank you very much for an amazing, wonderful, fun, and unforgettable trip. I miss us! The 8 of us were damn funny and our group photos all turned out so pretty. We were so cool together! And I think the trip really helped me get to know them, I wouldn't have known Valerie without it.

To the teachers who organised the trip and everyone else who made it awesome, thank you.

This was one of the highlights of 2010, one of the things that made my Sec 4 year a great and memorable one.

Wrote tons about the trip in wordpress but I intend to blog something else on it soon and I can reminisce about the trip here too haha. Gen was the first to change her profile pic and update her status, and Mr Tan commented! (The flight details are from him.)

We had pretty cool History Trip teachers too. NCC FTW~

Europe is stunning, and I'm so glad I had good company that made my first trip there all the more magical.

We're about one year closer to our Save Greece trip! :D

Unproductive weekend

2011-05-09T12:53:00.001+08:00

This is getting kinda old now, but Jaslyn loves this and I think it's quite cool.

PI PI PI PI PI because of you I've neglected all other work.

We are beautiful, no matter what they say

2011-05-02T22:55:00.004+08:00

Schoolllll is busy, so much work to do on Labour Day holiday! Need to find the time to go for MG somehow, I haven't seen 6/12 in ages :/

Weekend was good! Woke up after 1 on Saturday haha. Did work and then I fell asleep for about an hour-.- Crepes for dinner! After that progress was kinda slow but okay I guess.

Efficiency was not bad on Sunday(: Finished most of my homework pile by today. Left with some compare and contrast for international history, pi, and gpp research. PW is damn annoying and I don't think I'll sleep much tomorrow night if I'm gonna meet deadline but we'll pull through. Hope gpp works out quickly._.

Today(: Slept till 10, went out for prata with my family. Came back and fell asleep for half an hour wtp haha. Did history essay outline so I only have IH and PW left yayy. I think PW will kill my sleep tomorrow but...it's okay, it needs to be done. Finally repaired my specs! I think my optician is getting slightly wary haha he changed both nosepads this time even though I only broke one. But I've broken each side at least twice so...heh. And he got a smaller pair and the metal bit is damn big so it won't break so easily(:

Dinner and Jazz concert with Gen! Was good :D Jazz was good! Not a fan of jazz but yeah it was good, Anna and Marcus were good(: At the end all the performers who weren't performing came out and started dancing haha it was damn funny, and they had a whole movie skit theme which made the whole thing very interesting and funny to watch. The videos were damn good! Like in terms of video-editing and the way they put everything together. Uh yeah and dinner was good, we need to explore Thomson more(: Looking forward to it haha there are the cheap places and then there's all the more expensive stuff (I think Yoke can recommend.)

Was in the car with my mum on the way to repair my specs today, turned on the radio and Pink's (Fuckin') Perfect was the first song I heard(: I like that song! Critics might say it's cliched but it's good.

Yanhan if you're reading this: I miss youuuu and you owe me a reply! Reply soon leh I have so much to tell you(: We need to go outttt.

Have faith

2011-04-25T00:08:00.003+08:00

Been reading about how the Japanese made SEA countries grow cotton during WWII, there's not enough WWII history in our notes! Thinking of reading the books Kinnari talked about on lj but where to find the time):

But I think WWII is really interesting cos it's really a World War, and it was fought in so many places (all around the world), on so many different terrains (Mr Mizar went through it with us once), by so many people. And it wasn't started by something petty like how WWI was (assassination), but we did the whole origins thing last year. Maybe it's also cos I can relate to it better than like say, Burmese nationalism. I mean we did Jap Occupation in Singapore for pri sch SS, complete with re-enactment. And occasionally my grandma talks about it (very rarely, but this is the kind of thing I'll remember).

And after History Trip last year we were so interested/obssessed over it last year haha. It really made history come alive~

It's after midnight and I still haven't done my essay outline omg wts been wasting too much time online recently. I really can't do this question in my math assignment but it's okay, I'll ask someone tomorrow.

This friday promises to be awesome!! :D So excitinggg.

It's so hard to find the time to go back to rg): I miss my juniors quite alot.

Team Raffles updates us with regular news haha quite exciting. Good luck for competitions and syf everyone!(:

Almost forgot to blog about this-the catapult game at Class Camp was the bombbbb. Skipping people were very happy skipping and earning money like mad-Gold with Honours Honours Honours, and I thought it was really good because everyone did something. Not to mention we had the most awesome catapult using 6 sticks, 3 bungee cords, and alot of knots courtesy of Nathan (and Chai Xun) the sailor(s). Okay well it mostly failed us in the end but that wasn't our fault, it was damn cool anyway.

Retro medley! Skipping people went off to do skipping and retro songs is Shawn and Huifei's area of expertise, and then they needed everyone else who knew old songs. Shawn Huifei Andrea Yifeng Andre Shirlyn and I had the craziest time coming up with it hahaha it was so hilarious. We kept breaking out into song spontaneously and really loudly and everyone else looked at us like 'wts you guys are crazy'. And we came up with so many songs!! At the end we started going really offkey and singing rather terribly but it was so fun doing it, and the rest of the class who were free joined in when we went to perform and earn points. And the other class copied our songs pshhh.

All the Abba songs and MJ songs and Queen and Journey! And pengyou omg and everytime we thought of one we would break out into song.

We brought 2 rugby balls, 3 frisbees, a rather unusual bottle of sprite, and 3 food bags to class camp. And we bought more food and drinks at Changi hahaha. And at least 2 people brought Mono Deal and Huifei brought 4 packs of poker cards. I think we brought the most stuff to camp haha.

On another note, been plagued by pretty strange nightmares for the past 2 days. I hope they stop soon :/

And I'm so screwed for history term paper amagad I have to cut 1000 words.

We were made for so much more

2011-04-10T12:59:00.004+08:00

Haven't posted here in agessss, life's been really busy this week. Can you believe it's already week 3 omg time is passing so quickly! So much to do and not enough time.

Class camp was on thursday-friday, I discovered my class really likes to eat, and we really like to have fun. It was fun, although a bit late in the year. And my class isn't guai at all hahaha but we're bad in a fun way.

There's so much work and so many things to do. Sometimes I think I stress too easily, or maybe I don't relax that easily. Or maybe I'm just not happy sigh I don't think I've adapted to change that well yet. Time passes so fast here, and I'm stressing out over the strangest things haha ohno. Need to relaxxxxx. Don't stress don't stress stay happy(:

I miss alot of people actually. But everyone else is trying to manage between schoolwork and everything else too so...no reason to not be happy! I think I really want to talk to alot of people but everyone's schedule clashes): But school is okay because my class is made up of fun people and I laugh everyday(: And we brought so much food to class camp I seriously regret eating all those chips, my cough is relentless now :/

4/13 is on wednesday, can't wait for class dinner!!

Capricious

2011-03-16T02:19:00.002+08:00

That word appeared alot in my SEA History notes. Maggie why didn't you take History it's damn fun!! See la now you regret it :/

Workload this march hols is insaneee): Wonder how the j2s are coping considering they have cts. But it's probably not helped by the fact that I won't be home from tomorrow night until friday night heh.

Been kinda sorta maybe very stressed recently, and I don't even know why :/ I'm sorry, friends): Don't think some of you will ever read this but thank you for listening<3

Maybe it's because there are so many things I've really wanted to do for the longest time but never did them, so it's a nagging thing that grew and eventually just made me very angsty.

I miss how 413 was so open and always crazy. 3Q is fun too but in a different way, it's not 413. Still everyone's been quite enthu, class girls sleepover tomorrow!(: And class outing on friday whee. Also trying to adapt to odac, kinda haven't really been trying so I guess I need to try harder and bond with all my batchmates. It's similar to ncc but yet different. Which is cool but my secondary school cca has become a part of me, and we're all still figuring out our own journey in odac. And there's a tendency to cling to what is familiar, but RJ isn't RG so yeah. Same same but different.

I think I need to try harder and be more open and also be less angsty hehh. Haven't been particularly enthusiastic and lack of sleep during school is catching up with me :/ Hopefully hols are good though, I slept alot today.

Nooo moreee anti-social tendenciesss. I miss quite a lot of people though, but making new friends is always good. So long as you keep your old friends too :]

Okay no homework from wednesday night to friday night, then I need to finish all my homework before school starts on monday!

And very importantly find time to:
-Repair my bag
-REPLY YANHAN
-Watch an episode of White Collar

March hols might not be real holidays but they're still a time to recharge and have fun(:

Oh and Yuhui if you're reading this-what's your blog!

This is life in RJ

2011-02-22T01:10:00.003+08:00

It's been ages since I've last blogged, omg jc life really is super hectic. And this is without cca.

HELLO Shawn Melia Yuhui haha I didn't even know you guys tagged. Discovered icekimo last week! In a very stoned mood but ice-cream makes everything better(:

And I got into ODAC!(: So life is good, and I won't be murdering anyone for getting us lost on our detour to icekimo last week heh.

Between tutorials and lectures there's barely any time to eat on most days. 4h of chinese a week omfg that's more than in RG, but at least I have an okay teacher and I think my chinese grades will be fine this year. Tomorrow is tuesday and I REALLY HATE TUESDAY because I have math tutorial then math lecture and 2h of chinese and 5.5h of consecutive lessons. My timetable is pretty screwed up.

RJ life is really happening, 3 more weeks and then it's march hols already the time just flies by. And after that PW season starts. And not to mention everyone is making things really happening, what with monday breakfasts and house parties and og stuff still going on. Plus Gen's birthday last week hahaha planning that was actually very fun.

POSITIVE ENERGY for RJ, so far I've been finishing my work pretty quickly.

My class is pretty cool. Admittedly nothing will ever compare to 413, but 3Q is special in its own way and we're a fun bunch of people(:

I feel like getting a tumblr! And I don't feel like blogging much anymore boohoo. On blogger at least. Maybe I'll get a tumblr and archive this blog or something.

I mean I like writing my stuff down somewhere but I don't feel like writing it here cos I'm going to email Yanhan (If you're reading this-I'll email you by the end of this week k!) anyway. And wordpress and lj serve different purposes so maybe I should retire this blog? :/

Sigh going to sleep.

Sun dance

2011-01-30T15:58:00.002+08:00

What's up with the weather man, it's been raining nonstop for hours over the past few days. And it alternates between heavy and light rain so annoying-.-

Orientation's been pretty fun so far(: MT08 D'omo Arigato Mr Roboto! I have the coolest OGLs everrr Tricia's my library senior and is in rock, Julian's rugby vcapt and is damn tall but also very nice, and Ashraf is the fairy godfather damn epic (and he used to be in rugby until he joined council).

My group is pretty okay, thankgod. Annoying people aren't really being annoying most of the time, although my OG in general is pretty slow during activities (why does everyone walk so slowly...maybe I am just too used to efficiency as a result of ncc >< ) Don't really have any super enthu people but it's alright(:

Yesterday was so tiring, I almost forgot how tiring it is to go to 3 places in one day :/

RG with Gen, crashed Lion Dance prac and watched their routine! Oh and jiaolian came to talk to us heh. Omg they're all doing one-legged zhanjiaos (Y) But we always found two-legged easier hm. They seem to have better balance than us haha. No jumping on back but they're jumping on urns and walking around the rims instead (it looks alot cooler than it sounds). It looks damn hard to get both the head and butt on to the urn and walk on the rim...although jumping on their backs was damn hard too and it was higher :/ I remember falling so many times but when I finally managed it the scroll was cool(: And we can say we successfully managed both one-legged and two-legged zhanjiaos yay(: And supported and unsupported too haha. Didn't watch the full routine though I want to pon Orientation to crash :/ So proud of all of them(:

Lunch at Cine, stoned->got lost and had to go all the way back down and then all the way back up :/ And then the sushi queue was too long so we took the lift down and there was this random girl who kept poking me (talk about too bored) and we settled for Frolick. Which has really colourful cups and I had a voucher to use anyway heh.

After that Gen went home and I went for MG, where Clar and Kim were busy condensing HP. Hung around for a bit and then we went to Macs, which was wonderfully empty. Macs prices have increased, the meals used to be cheaper :/ Nuggets and sprite probably weren't good for my ulcer but whatever heh. Discussed CNY-we need to facebook/call the teachers, and then since we don't have school (scoreeee) I guess we'll buy oranges before going and then catch a movie after visiting (any ideas?). Was getting cold with the sprite and then I had to leave at 5.15.

OG outing at esplanade, where we were playing games before we walked around trying to find a place for dinner. Jumpshots on the roof!(: And then Marina Square foodcourt for dinner cos Gluttons' Bay was drenched._. Played the thumb game and I was the first to get one thumb down but the last to get the other :/ Talked for damn long (I still don't get the mrt game sigh) and then we walked around shopping. Walking back to City Hall took forever haha secret plans and we can't think while we walk. Between all the walking around in the rain and running around and long discussions (about secret stuff haha because like Shawn says-I'd be very surprised at who reads my blog) we only left at 10.

Yesterday was fun(: Today is a cold rainy day good for nothing except snuggling up in bed and sleeping, which I did until I was late for second OG outing to buy our outfit for O'nite and decided not to go cos I could only make it for a shortwhile in the end :/

RG MG OG haha. Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow!

MT08

2011-01-30T01:07:00.002+08:00

Orientation's been pretty fun so far(: 2 days in, 2 days left. D'omo Arigato Mr Roboto! :D

Anyway damn tired omggg. Going to 3 places in one day is mad tiring, and Orientation itself has been kinda tiring. RG with Gen, MG with Clar and Kim, OG outing with more than half the OG haha.

Will (try to) update tomorrow! Oh I have the coolest OGLs ever yay.

Too much drama

2011-01-22T17:59:00.004+08:00

Too much drama among my batch lately :/ But seriously, councilleaks?! All the OGLs slogged like mad to plan Orientation, and it sucks that some major asshole hacker sent all our contact details etc. around. We really don't need to know every detail of our Orientation, it's better kept a surprise.

I realise I've forgotten most of Math and Chem and I need much more practice :/ At least Foundation tests are over and I don't need to mug anymore, but omg I am so out of practice. Mad rush to the PAC has been really crazy, Deenie and I were the first ones in the PAC this whole week (only Monday and Wednesday haha) and on Wednesday half of 413 rushed along behind us hahaha. Even the lecturers commented on us lol.

CCA Feste was on Wednesday. Dear 413, I did not ditch you): We just all split up and then I was with Selene and Yingxin who disappeared, so I walked around with Persa and then Gen came along. Love our efficiency(:

Because I have nothing else to do...stuff from 2010:
Movies I watched in 2010: Alice in Wonderland (so faded you can barely read it), Karate Kid, Inception, The Social Network, HPDHP1, Megamind, Narnia, Let Me In. Out of 8, 5 were after school ended._. Haha I watched more in 2009. Oh there was Avatar with my family at the start of the year too, so that makes 9.

History Trip 2010 cheque! Not including the deposit haha.

Concert/etc tickets! Paramore, Cadenza XII, Choir Concert 2010 (A Night to Remember? It got stuck to the ELDS production ticket :/), Through A Fishbowl, Heartstrings, Murder in the Kniferoom, NDP 2010 NE2, Limelight 2010: RI/RJ Chorale, YOGOCCR4, TV 2010, Rafflesian Spotlight 2010, Pompeii-Life in a Roman Town, FAM 2010, All In A Day's Work, Coda Six. Not to mention my sister's annual Ballet concert, but I lost the ticket for that. 15 in all. Nearly $250 in all omggggg and that's not including the ballet one. Admittedly Paramore and FAM cost alot but omggg I spent so much on concerts in 2010 haha sheesh :/

The RJ Batch 12 fb group spams like mad :O Oh and 56 people liked Lynn's status about all the drama (Y)

Just for laughs

2011-01-15T22:29:00.002+08:00

Shawn's performance at Rafflesian Spotlight 2010. First part is a band, Shawn's part starts somewhere after the 3 minute mark. The real thing was hilarious, and the video still cracks me up every time haha.

In case you couldn't find it/forgot to look for it, here it is! :D

First Week

2011-01-15T00:47:00.003+08:00

First week (okay, 3 days) of jc is over. We've survived(:

First day was...pretty damn depressing. When you're being told 'good is not good enough' '4As is expected, you have to excel elsewhere' and the like, it wasn't a particularly cheery first day. Not to mention RD still sounds freaking crazy and RJ is mad elitist.

Anyway. Talks and talks and the mad dash to the PAC in the morning and sleeping during talks. Foundation classes and 2 tests next week on the same day-FMLLL. Foundation helps though-I forgot everything over the hols and at least I have my classmates(: PAC has nice comfy chairs, and other than that so far it's been kinda boring. Homework on the first day is not fun :/

Hoping life will get better, RJ is very different from RG and I guess we'll all just have to adapt to it. Doesn't feel like a new school-413 is as awesome as always(: So much for low profile we attracted so much attention on the first day shouting at each other-.- Haha and our row in the morning is always the longest.

I miss being the oldest batch, I miss being in Orchard, even though Circle Line rocks. Alot of people are saying they're eating too much/RJ food doesn't agree with them :/ Sigh. Really miss being the oldest batch-we sat at the side because we don't dare sit near the J2s, and we've (already) learnt to sit far far away from the jock tables.

Okay I don't sound very happy, but I really hope things will get better :] Positive energy for jc! Keep an open mind, take things as they come, do your best. I think I'm going to need a lot of optimism over the next 2 years.

Clar's already blogged about bowling and I think she did it quite nicely, so go read her blog. 3 strikes :D I've improved(: Between Tabi (Elias) and I we owned everyone else heh.

Other than that...Gen's been wearing pinafore for the past few days, wonderfully epic :D Yeah but she's changing back next week haha. 11.30 deal has been off and on o.o

We get our classes on 7 feb and actual lessons only start on 14 feb (Valentine's Day o.o). Hoping for awesome classmates (getting all 3 would be amazing). Schedule for the year looks packed, and RJ already said that holidays aren't holidays, they're for you to catch up on work you couldn't finish during term time/mug for exams. (Yeah they actually said that.)

Xinyuan and Joanna crashed today(: Going to miss seeing people like Sheryl around once school starts for them and they're all in ACSI. And all the Hwach people! :/

Optimism!

'Screw me no baby!'

2011-01-09T21:46:00.004+08:00

Two very nice covers of the same song so one on wordpress and one here heh. Jinghui got it stuck in my head at Chalet!

Anyway, sigh some day your mistakes will come back to haunt you. Semi-screwed already sighhh. So depressing but Chalet was awesome :D

...okay actually I don't really know what to write about Class Chalet but it was awesome ♥ Super crazy and damn fun but no one else will understand our madness except us haha. Slept at 7am! Not to mention Miru's photo tagging thing which resulted in over a hundred comments. That thing is the epitome of 413 and it was so epic everyone just kept laughing and laughing hahaha I love us. Really really don't want to leave my crazy awesome classmates behind))): Will miss everybody I hope we all stay mad and funny and keep in touch when school really starts and we all get our new classes :/ We must have many many class reunions and random pool/cycling outings/sleepovers(:

K I don't think many people will read this since half the class is on twitter (I am a cool kid not on twitter, twitter is so lameeee) and tumblr sounds fun (speaking of which I still haven't created one haha fail) but ohwellz.

Going back to school tomorrow!

even brighter than the moon

2011-01-06T18:30:00.005+08:00

I don't think I've let go of 2010 yet. Last year will be remembered with great fondness, and it was an important year for me. Anyway, I wrote about that somewhere else already haha, but I'm quite sure I'll miss 2010 more than a few times this year. Induction doesn't look like much fun, I'm sorry RJ but really-5 sessions of 'Managing a Co-Ed Environment'?!

And it's not even RI(JC) anymore, it's just RI. When school starts on the 12th I will be an RJ girl, not an RI girl wth.

I haven't done a meme in a really long time, so here we go(:

1. What did you do in 2010 that you'd never done before?
Many things! Haha um rock-climb up/down a real rock wall, for one(: Oh and whitewater rafting!

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I didn't do resolutions, I did 'things I want to do in 2010'. I did most of them, left a few undone, brought over a few to this year. I was a really different person at the start of the year. This year I did resolutions and things I want to do(:

3. What countries did you visit?
Malaysia, duh. England and France :D

4. What would you like to have in 2011 that you lacked in 2010?
More confidence in myself and in other people.

5. What date from 2010 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
Quite a number actually haha. We left on 29 May, we came back on 8 June...we ORD-ed on 14 August...2010 was a pretty big year for me.

6. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
I think...Part Cs, actually. Not that it's a solo achievement, but...we're proud of them(:

7. What was your biggest failure?
I think it was failing to stand up. Or if that would have been a futile effort, then...letting the cracks degenerate into such a state that the split lasted for ages. A part of me says it wasn't my fault, but another part still claims responsibility despite being told otherwise by many people, many times.

8. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Occasionally. I remember being sick the night we left for England-thank god Gen had medicine in her bag and I managed to get a lot of rest on the 13h flight.

9. What was the best thing you bought?
Uh, french chocolate? x)

10. Where did most of your money go?
Food haha food food and more food :/ When you go out with people you can't not eat.

11. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
History Trip :D

12. What song will always remind you of 2010?
Haha errr a number of songs? Oh our graduation songs(:

Compared to this time last year, are you:

13. Thinner or fatter?
Fatter): I was so much thinner last year sigh.

14. Richer or poorer?
Poorer.

15. What do you wish you'd done more of?
PT.

16. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Staying up late unnecessarily.

17. How did you spend Christmas?
Sipping wine and talking with my family at my cousin's house(:

18. Did you fall in love in 2010?
Lol er NO.

19. What was your favorite TV program?
Haha er I didn't watch much tv actually. Glee!(:

20. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
Hate's a strong word...no.

21. What was the best book you read?
Haha I read many good books. I think...Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, I liked it enough to buy my own copy(: I really like Neil Gaiman.

22. What was your greatest musical discovery?
UH I realised I quite like One Republic. Um some groups on youtube who do amazing covers(:

23. What did you want and get?
History Trip(:

24. What did you want and not get?
A new iphone cover hahaha. I'd say better grades, but I'm actually quite satisfied with my grades this year. Could have been better, but no point regretting, I think I've learnt to accept it as a result of slacking earlier in the year...if I slack in jc I think I will regret it though, slacking is not acceptable._.

25. What was your favorite film of this year?
Inception(: Alice in Wonderland and HP7Part1 are good too. I really want to rewatch Alice in Wonderland again :/

26. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
Did the laundry, went out to watch Inception with 6/12 and had dinner! And then a detour to AYJ's house because of his forgetfulness-.- Sixteen(:

27. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Being given less reasons to break down. (This is very vague but whatever)

28. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2010?
What personal fashion concept? I still live in t-shirts and jeans, although I bought a wider range of stuff and I pierced my ears. And I still grab the first thing I see when I think I'm late._.

29. What kept you sane?
My friends. Thank you Gen(:

30. Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most?
Lol I don't know. I like Leonardo Dicaprio(:

31. What political issue stirred you the most?
Um I really like SS so I don't know which stirred me the most? I'll miss SS and Mr Lee next year, I saw him during CCAO!(:

32. Who did you miss?
Yoon Jung):

33. Who was the best new person you met?
Yan Han(:

34. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2010:
You never know until you try, so don't be afraid. Things could have gone very differently this year, but because of the choices I made they went a certain way. You are stronger than you think.

And, life goes on. Live in the moment. Whatever happens, keep calm and carry on.

35. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
I don't mind spending every day out on your corner in the pouring rain//Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay awhile//And she will be loved

Direction

2010-12-31T23:17:00.005+08:00

20th and onwards:

Red&Yellow meeting because the Green couldn't go out which was fun even without the Green, Gen's dog no longer barks at me as much as it used to, got a lift so I was early(:, met my classmates and Deenie dragged us all off into some corner to discuss dinner. Dinner at the Soup Spoon, Selene freaking out upon finding out it was at bloody Singapore Conference Hall and not school, waiting for her to go change into a skirt she happened to buy that day, rushing to take train to Raffles Place and running to SCH from there, rushing in just on time, Jinghui's legs being the most obvious things on stage, all of us worrying about falling asleep. Making Jinghui climb all the way up to see us, no one falling asleep in the end, it was a pretty good concert(: Oh and Jinghui's solo and after that we were all 'that was Jinghui!' and for some reason we all found it very funny.

Visting Selene with Yingxin, Coffee Bean's awesome Pure Double Chocolate, overpriced food but okay compared to Coffee Club, crashing Yingxin's house, falling asleep while she packed her room, buying RJ uniform, comparing sizes with everyone else haha and complaining about how the waists are all so small and the skirts are so long. Waking up late the next morning, rushing to Plaza Sing, running into someone while on the travelator, getting there earlier than Kim and Shawn, talking about dress sense (or lack of) when Kim arrived, Shawn's phone dying, Shawn running into someone on the travelator as well, rushing into the theatre after getting our IDs checked because it NC16 haha. Realising that Let Me In is a thriller/HORROR movie, recoiling at the scary bits, reading smses in the dark, a little laughter, a movie about love and vampires and bullying.

Dragging everyone to Pasir Ris with me for dinner and flowers, talking super loudly at the mrt (thank god Gen was plugged in), going for Chalet. Getting there and getting dinner (which was good), sitting in the room and talking, watching skits, playing Company Games for the last time, what on earth battle of the sexes?!, a pretty fail Murderer, presents :D Packing the mountain of presents on the bed, discussing late into the night, I really hate my period, settling, sleeping, getting up, waiting for them to finish talking (they took agessss._.), talking to Part Cs (who were quite stoned haha), finally leaving at 8. Getting home, continuing my conversation with Shawn, and then sleeping the day away.

Slacking around at home on Christmas Eve, sitting down at my laptop to find a Christmas card, recognising the handwriting immediately, turning it over and confirming who the sender was from the address because I've typed too many nominal rolls, opening it and reading a very sweet message :D Running errands before dinner, leaving for dinner, annual family christmas gathering with good food and lots of potatoes, talking about anything and everything, presents! Realising that my whole family turns red with alcohol, good chocolates, leaving after midnight and crashing when I got home. Waking up to more than 10 smses the next day, I love Christmas(: Slacking the day away watching tv, going to church with Lianne and Maggie, watching a cool dance performance, listening to a pretty long but interesting sermon(?), dinner at NYNY (thanks Lianne!(: ), wandering around Downtown East, Indian Pokerrrr, going home feeling like it was a great Christmas(:

Spending most of the next day packing my room, throwing out at least 10 (small) bags of stuff and recycling mounds of paper and textbooks, finally chucking some of my very ancient primary school stuff (all my hard work in the worksheets! and the filinggggg omg), keeping those files I still can't bear to throw, reorganising everything, sneezing from the dust, deciding where to keep my presents (Part Cs have this knack for giving presents that are just meant to be displayed. My Christmas Tree pillow just won't fit into any box I have but I don't dare to sleep with it for fear of pulling off one of the baubles/the star, so it's on display, as are some of my other presents, all from Part Cs(: Or maybe it's just their batch-Dear Yanhan, I love your board very much but I like packing my stuff in the interests of being organised, but it won't fit anywhere so it's currently on display inside my cupboard too haha(: ), reorganising my books.

Getting up to go cycling with Easties the next day, getting lost looking for a bike rental, cycling for 2h, playing at the playground at Pasir Ris Park! Climbing the pyramid, realising it's actually quite safe once you're in the centre and all the ropes are very compact, visiting Selene again, having lunch at some Just Acia place which had a pretty good deal for a meal and free flow of drinks/ice-cream, planning our cycling expedition. Getting up late for ice-skating the next day, going to Stadium mrt, ice-skating with Becky Rachel Azura(: (the rink plays pretty good music at times!), not falling at all after going rounds and rounds on the ice, camwhoring, lunch at the food court during which Azura accidentally ordered some noodles with pork in the soup, sitting around and talking to Rachel until we had to go.

Getting up at bloody 7am the next day for our awesome cycling expedition, getting off too early on the way to ECP, meeting Bern and Melia, waiting for the rental to open, cycling through the east side all the way to Bedok Reservoir meeting Kinn along the way(:, meeting a grandfather who was fishing, cycling back and stopping at the playground for swings and see-saw haha, getting lost and going through residential and industrial areas, lunching at Macs, cycling all the way to the jetty and back in record time, paying $12 for 6h of rental, detouring to Parkway Parade, discussing school shoes, going home to pack. Leaving for sleepover in the next hour, having dinner at Lianne's house, looking suspicious in a 7/11, going to Orchard. Jinghui and her impulse buy, camwhoring along the street in the mrt and outside Ion, going back for drinks. Lots of laughter, not very strong drinks, msn along the way (for me), Truth or Dare on Ipad, Shoot Shag Marry, rounds and rounds of Taiti and Bridge, staying up till 6.30 and crashing after that. Missed Jinghui's pancakes and May's French toast sigh, going home completely stoned, Part Cs ending prac early so I just crashed at home, my dad came back from China so we had dinner at the airport(:

Slacking around on New Year's Eve, awesome dinner-I love authentic Peranakan food, and it was pretty cheap cos the restaurant was owned by a family friend! Ate tonsss but it was so good(:

Okay this is late but ohwellz. Happy New Year everybody!(: Hope 2011 is a great year for you.

Will post more about 2010 tomorrow, for which I direct you to wordpress(:

All we have left

2010-12-20T11:32:00.004+08:00

I love Boyce Avenue. This was the first of their covers I watched:

People ask me what I've been doing at home-I say I haven't been at home :/ Holidays are coming to an end; 2010 is coming to an end, and there's still so much I want to do. Movies, books (oh god), drama serials. That last one being Liar Game.

Over 20 new books (of my own) to read, so many I want to reread-and I bought a new book in Malacca. I am the best. :/

I think the best thing of this Dec Hols-so many amazing things have happened this hols, this year-is that it has been fulfilling. Reading after school ended-not my books, but really good nevertheless, going out with the minahs and buying set earrings, playing frisbee with my friends for hours after 4 years, catching a movie and wandering aimlessly around Plaza Sing talking, sharing ice-cream because we eat ice-cream all the time, visiting the National Museum and learning about how the Ancient Romans were so advanced, and how Pompeii was buried, crashing an SMU concert with Maggie because we heard Just The Way You Are live while they were rehearsing, spending a very tiring but efficient day shopping.

Arguing with my mother wasn't so fulfilling, but FAM was fun, and so was the sleepover afterwards. Love Lianne's place-sleeping under the stars was beautiful, slept for ages in the warm sun after the rest went down, Lianne's good milo, Sogurt buffet, crossing the road in the rain, taking a 2h busride and reading Yanhan's present over and over, being at home for half an hour before rushing to school, smsing madly trying to find out Andrea's address during a briefing in the ava (ahva!) room, movie marathon during a great sleepover with random classmates (who are so awesome), talking about kids and the like, webcamming madly with classmates who couldn't come, sleeping at 5.30am because we could.

Watching Miru wake the whole house up, talking at Macs for hours, Bern treating me to Udders, going home to sleep for ages after 2 sleepovers (how ironic). Watching HP7 with my family, catching Megamind with my sister, Deenie's production with my classmates, being late after intermission because of Chem (of all things). Music appreciation time on the mrt, hanging out at our favourite place in Tampines, sitting and talking until we had to go, visiting my cousin's place with her 'damn uncle' brother, getting a 5-page wedding schedule.

ICYL! Meeting my 9 wonderful groupmates and my 3 fantastic facils, a very pretty lightstick light-up, learning so much, going to NUS to be inspired, a mad class dinner at Scape, plenary sessions, talking to so many people about so many things, world cafe conversation, the make a difference movement, approaching people in the spirit of our cause, getting people to sign on our boards, photos photos and more photos, playing games and making lots of noise, IFN! epic mad performance, eating in the hall, running around the hall so many times, highfiving all the vips, running to catch the last train, saying goodbye the next day to all my cool international friends):, sitting in the ava room talking to my classmates.

Crashing MG in time to win a few rounds of taiti, frantically packing for Perak the next day and sleeping at 2.30am. A very bumpy bus ride, good room food, 2 tyre punctures, the whole company going to the cold springs when we were at the hot springs, whitewater rafting, falling out twice, swift water rescue, jumping from a huge rock, swimming like mad, trying to swim with one hand and holding on to your shoe in the other, very refreshing cold showers, swimming through a cave, company singing, high ropes (aren't higher than the Eiffel Tower), flying fox, rockclimbing down an actual rock face, dodging the branches during lorry rides, complaining of buttache but sitting down anyway, non-verbal communication rocks, epic photos on our rainy ride out of camp, very funny Part Cs who are also good photographers, a very cute skit, Christmas carols, rounds and rounds of bridge and a few of taiti, coming home and sleeping for 12 hours after nearly freezing to death in our sleep every night.

Shopping at Giant and going for Ikea meatballs, best chalet in 2 years, 12th class reunion with 12 people, asshole taiti during which Fon always ended up as the asshole, rain everywhere but our barbecue pit, taking forever to get a fire started with everyone holding umbrellas over our heads, buttering everything, damn good food, talking about hakuna mattata and battle plans, everyone cleaning up and walking like penguins, our own dance studio and karaoke, sleeping people making a ton of noise talking and laughing about morning glory and EA, waking up at some insane time to see the sunrise, walking through muddy grass to get there. A few photos, jumpshots, going back to sleep, marshmallows, going for lunch. Heart Attack like how we used to play it 4 years ago, waiting half an hour for Macs lunch, epic bowling games, walking back in the rain and being sheltered by 2 umbrellas (I love you guys), walking out again to get dinner, movie marathoning the night away, talking and then sleeping on the floor where it was super comfy and less dusty. New Truth questions which were kinda mad but interesting in a strange way, half of us leaving, everyone else staying and playing Taiti and bringing home all the random things afterwards, coming home and sleeping for ages.

Meeting Maggie and Jinghui, lunch at Coffee Club being served by Jolynn, making funny comments, talking about our holidays, sharing lunch with Jingybomb because the food is overpriced, wandering around the airport trying to shop (and failing), taking the free slide and revisiting our childhood, missing the big slide (felt so cheated urgh we could have gone), going home with Uncle Jo after buying her pau. Being a bridesmaid at my cousin's wedding, riding in a BMW with the top down, eating a ton of food, taking a ton of photos, getting money haha, following the bride everywhere, coming home to sleep. Running around Pan Pac looking for my sister, the whole room tearing up during solemnization, my cousin getting annoyed that people were mistaking him for a banquet manager ('my sister leh!'), meeting relatives, the whole ballroom looking at me weirdly when I walked in with the angpao box, throwing everything into the safe, finding out that wedding dresses are mad heavy, looking for butter, rushing down with a barefoot bride, going on stage to sip champagne, eating more food, getting home late and sleeping for ages.

Narnia with Yanhan and walking around a deserted Plaza Sing, French food at saybons, super pretty souvenirs from Germany (thank you I love you), talking the way we always do, Macritchie with Maggie and May, walking for ages because gps failed us, finding out we need to reschedule since our Treetop Walk is only closed on Mondays, walking through the green forest anyway, sitting at calm, peaceful macritchie watching the world go by (I love macritchie), May being chased by a monkey, sitting at J8 and talking. Traffic Light meeting which is private and confidential but which was very relaxed and fun, staying at Gen's place until 8 after all, 5 days in Malacca.

This holiday was really good. Got to spend time with everyone, and it's not over yet, there's still more to come, December isn't over yet, and there's still part of January. Too busy to work but spending time with everyone important in my life has been wonderful, even though I lack time alone at home and money.

Chalet post(s) will be on wordpress, btw :]

Who made you King of Anything

2010-12-13T01:09:00.004+08:00

I love Sara Bareilles' King of Anything!

Perak Trip.

First Day
Got up at some insane time after sleeping at 2, squashed my smaller bag into my big bag (I didn't need to bring the damn smaller bag in the end sheesh), left the house. Reached school, got food from the room, hung around. All of us were super sleepy. Company photo! And then we left and Mr Ng was late -_-

Bus ride to Second Link was bumpy. Any attempts at sleep failed. It got slightly better when we changed coach at Malaysia, but Malaysia has potholes and all so it was pretty damn bumpy anyway-.- Slept like a log when I managed to sleep though. Other than that the bus ride and lunch were pretty uneventful-I remember sharing wedges with Gen and Chanel talking about her love for potatoes and how she'd eat potato salad when we got back.

Set off for the hot springs-and then the bus had a tire puncture and we had to walk 1km, guide explained about the trees along the way. Who goes to a hot springs in Malaysia-the temperature is the same in Singapore :/ Anyway hm we didn't go in in the end because it was inconvenient so...we rolled up our pants/jeans and walked around in the cold springs. Sat on a rock and talked(: Chanel and YT got bored and went for a walk after that though.

Took a wrong turn walking back to the entrance after that, orienteering fail :/ Haha hardcoreeee we walked across muddy grass and through open fields. Transferred to a lorry to camp-back to basics man, we stood in front and had to keep dodging from the branches sticking out. Took a couple of photos which were damn unglam sigh water dropped on me right when we took it. So we were all sleeping in some huge greenhouse dorm thing, there was a sink in the room and we all slept on foldable beds. Toilets and showers were in cubicles outside, I remember the cold water felt damn good.

Oh lights out was at 10? But Gen and I sat up stoning/talking for about an hour, and anyway the TP people in the next room had lights out an hour later so the rest of the company lay in bed unable to sleep until the TPJC people did cos they were making so much noise sigh.

Second Day
Got up and had breakfast...played some team-bonding games after that, a fly flew into Part C Valerie's ear :/ After that we got our lifejackets and helmets and boarded the lorry for whitewater rafting :D Sat down and after that us old people sat down all the time until the last lorry ride. In 4 days we had enough lorry rides for our whole lives.

Got there and got safety briefing, and then there was some confusion with the groupings at first. Anyway confidence swim! Which was kinda fail lol nobody swam the current was so strong, the instructors pulled everybody in with the safety line. Chanel somehow ended up on the other side of the river o.O And then we got into our rafts and were off!

Got through the first few rapids easily, got splashed alot(: And then we took a break and played around in the water after the biggest one, no one from our raft fell off but 3 people in the others did._. Took photos! And then we were off again. Rapids were damn strong, we kept moving around...and then after we went down one rapid the whole raft tipped and Part B Geyu and I fell off the side into the water. Not that we weren't holding on, I held on...and Part B landed on my right arm. Haha not her fault or anything but....painful. I vaguely remember yelling that they had to pull her in first else they couldn't pull me in cos someone grabbed me...and then after they pulled her in the instructor (Moose, I think) pulled me in. Damn strong and pulled damn hard I felt like a ragdoll being dragged onboard and I couldn't see anything...landed pretty awkwardly haha. After that I got back into position and we carried on paddling.

Went through another few rapids and got splashed alot and I kept falling into the raft (we were supposed to sit half on the side) and then we went down one and the whole right side fell off-.- Got tossed around the rocks but lifejacket damn thick so it was okay but I remember struggling to get to the surface and find air cos I was still holding on. And then someone yelled let go so I did and after that they yelled at me to swim to the raft but I nearly lost my shoe and was trying to get it back on sigh. And then I realised I lost my paddle but it sailed down and Mr Ng caught it. The current was super strong...Moose pulled Part B in and then Gen pulled me in and the two of us collapsed into the raft and laughed like mad hahahaha and then it took alot of people to pull Mr Ng in._.

Finished the rapids and it was calm water and we had to paddle and then it was over): Scenery was super nice the trees all grew super high and falling out (twice) was actually quite fun :] Instructors deflated the rafts and we went back to camp for lunch.

After lunch was some leadership and communication task/swift water rescue thing. Which was basically about river crossing. Homg after it I never want to play another river crossing game. At first it was some defensive/aggressive position swim down the river and then we had to cross it, individually and then in groups of 3 and then groups of 9. Individually we all swam diagonally but got there eventually(: Groups of 3 all failed and got swept downstream except the group of 4 with Mr Ng._. Managed to walk across in the bigger groups though.

And then the last activity was some rock thing where we had to jump from this big rock into the river and swim across. Which was damn fun actually. Actually the whole thing was quite fun only the current was really strong and we all got bruises from the rocks :/ And I kept nearly losing my shoe sigh holding on to your shoe and swimming with one hand isn't that fun, but it was better than losing a shoe and walking barefooted. My platoonmates are very injury-prone D:

At night was some sharing session and then we all slept quite soundly but it was really cold.

Third Day
Got up feeling very sleepy and had more team-bonding games. Non-verbal communication ftw, telepathy beats talking any day plz. And then lorry ride to Gua Tempurung for caving! Waited quite awhile before we could go in. Limestone formations are cool, but it's really up to interpretation isn't it...would have been a nice geog lesson anyway. There were 800+ steps._. And the cave was hottt our glasses fogged up at least until we got to the aircon room (name of a part of the cave).

After that was damn fun though, we slid down rock (2 guys at the bottom caught everybody) and then we went down this chute thing in the floor. And then the guide told us to turn off our torchlights and it was pitch dark, can't see your hand in front of your face. And the Communists lived like this for 3 years during the war. And it was very dejavu cos the mines in Manchester were just as dark when Billy told us to turn off the huge torchlights they gave us and people worked in that kind of darkness their whole life...

From there on it was much colder. Had to bend over and walk and then eventually we started swimming/leopard crawling/floating haha the water was super cold(: The rock got really low at some points and the floor was all rock (naturally), our trackpants all ballooned and our shirts came up. Damn fun leopard crawling through the cave but we found out later a few people got bruised stomachs :/ We came out without bruises though. Current was quite strong too. After that we were back to where we started and everyone washed out the pebbles from their shoes and we waved to the next tour group above us. And then we walked out and sang in the pavilion while waiting for the lorry.

After lunch was High Ropes at Mountain School! I flunked Ground School haha I fell off immediately sigh. There were 2 courses, one lower, shorter one and one higher one. The coward in me decided on the lower one at first but my platoonmates all raised their hands for the higher one so I did too-.- Haha it was a good thing I did though.

Chanel went first and she was more bothered flicking off red ants than the heights, apparently-.- 'What are you doing?!' 'Eye itchy.' Yeah but she was quite fast(: Uh then Part B Xinyu, I think. After that was YT, and then I went up and Gen after me and then from there on it was all Part Cs. Even climbing the ladder thing was kinda scary haha the bloody thing shook like mad :/ And then it was a plank bridge and there was this huge hole in the middle where you were supposed to swing across using a rope. I was damn scared of that bit but after I swung and touched the next plank I realised it was really easy sheesh, finding your balance was the hard bit.

YT had to wait at the next one for me to hook her carabiner cos the rope was damn high (it was a self-belay system), and then the next one was a rope bridge. Nearing the end there was one where you had to step really down and she fell at that one :/ And then she got back on and continued from there haha. I don't remember if there was a stage after that but I know there was the swing, which was fun, and then after that it was Flying Fox :D

...which I am ashamed to say that I was a bit scared of at first but the feeling is amazingggg(: When I am 18/19 I AM GOING TO NEW ZEALAND AND GOING BUNGEE JUMPING. (Money might be an issue though :/)

After that we all slammed into the tyres and the two people in front of you were supposed to help you get down using a very light (but flimsy) ladder. Yeah anyway I got down without issue, the carabiners were easy to unhook. When Gen came down the carabiners were damn tight I had to climb up the ladder and help her unhook, and poor YT was left on the ground to stabilise the stoopz flimsy ladder on the uneven soil with us yelling to hold tight and all of us yelling about the stoopz carabiners-.- People in the distance were giving us weird looks...3 jokers haha.

And then the next course. Plank bridges that shook like mad until you found your CG and balanced yourself properly and sitting around on actual rock waiting for the people in front. And rock-climbing up and down actual rock! Which was cool and quite fun except I'd run out of our precious army insect repellent by then and the mozzies attacked like crazy): Kinda dirty too with the green moss and all but fun anyway, although I took super long finding my way up and down the rock heh sorry people behind me :/ And then it was another rope bridge and a plank bridge down. Freaking gay during High Ropes omg I screamed...alot. For me, at least. But I guess it really did boost my confidence(:

And then lorry ride back and butt ache ttm. Dinner and then Mr Ng gave us bananas urgh have I ever mentioned I don't like bananas? No offence meant Fon but I really don't like them, and we were all forced to eat one. And half-squashing my banana at ICYL didn't help.

And then we had our last sharing session and we did line-graph things with string which was quite cool. And it was so cold that night I slept with my socks on. Oh between all the activities it scraped away half the nail polish on my toes(: Removing the polish on my fingers a week after FAM took so long (hours D:) I didn't bother removing the ones on my toes until I came back from Perak, Lianne did a damn good job though.

Last Day
Got up and packed up and took photos and we said goodbye to Steve our Australian instructor...on the lorry out we stood at the back and took photos(: And then it started raining homg so we were stuck with our butts on the back plank of the lorry holding on as the rain poured down. This was really butt ache ttm after that Gen said 'you must hold properly don't sit all the way down!' but I was still holding our tins at that point-.- Love the tins haha I still have the one I brought back(: We even took photos haha Part C Amirah is a good photographer!

And then long bus ride into KL and to the orphanage. Some of the kids there were super cute and they had this really beautiful dog(: (Indian orphanage) Anyway we looked around the place, did our skit and our Christmas carols and then they gave us refreshments. Donated food and stationery and money, I hope it really helps them. They all sleep cramped together in one room :/

After that we had lunch I think and then we went back home. On the way home our tire exploded wtf. There was this series of huge bumps which woke nearly the whole bus up (Gen was still sleeping._.) and then we waited and changed bus. 2 tire punctures in 4 days haha talk about lucky. The next bus was super loud...like there were speakers everywhere so the movie playing was really loud and it kept showing this stoopz original dvd ad-.- Played Bridge! Oh we played Bridge and Orbital in camp as well, our batch loves bridge haha. Played Taiti and my Taiti fail omg I lost everything whyyy the last time we played in Macs during MG I won a number of rounds :/ Taiti quite fail on the first day of Chalet too sigh but during our mad Bridge-Taiti it wasn't so bad.

And then we reached Immigration and went through and then Steph called! And then everyone was smsing away after we reached Singapore. Reached school earlier than expected but we had to do reflections._. But expected la haha. My mum came to pick me up and then went home and unpacked...and I counted more than 20 mosquito bites sigh I had none before I ran out of insect repellent :/ And my platoonmates were running out too. I need to get more army insect repellent that little green tube is the most effective repellent ever. Slept for 12 hours when I got home!

And that concludes my Perak Trip post(:

Day 0

2010-12-06T00:07:00.003+08:00

Hello World.

I need to blog about Perak Trip soon.

EVERYBODY IS WORKING ALL MY FRIENDS ARE WORKING HOMG AND WHAT AM I DOING?

~~SLACKING.~~

Okay actually no I have too many random things to work! Seriously. 2 trips to Malaysia, 2 chalets, 3 sleepovers (possibly more?) and the list goes on and on and on and on.

I need to earn money omg I'm spending money like water and it's not like I'm shopping, it all goes to food and transport and the like): Why is cost of living so high sigh.

I need to earn moneyyyy but sigh ohwellz what to do. Am really annoyed (with myself) though, everybody around me is working and earning money and here I am, spending my parents' money): I don't even really need to look for a job wth people find jobs and ask if I want to apply with them.

Sorry Mum&Dad I will get a good job with high pay after As :/ (Which is damn far away. It's not like they refuse to give me money-I feel damn bad asking :/)

CHALET IS TOMORROW SO EXCITING!

(I haven't packed yet though and it's after midnight heh whoops.)

On another note, 413 quotes note on fb! It's wonderfully long and I sat there and read/laughed for like half an hour. I love 413'10(:

I See Your Love

2010-11-28T01:34:00.002+08:00

ICYL 2010!

It was good, really. I talked to Jaslyn and Yingxin after ICYL so I don't feel like writing everything out._.

Day One started off kinda slow. Dr Amy Khor is short. Speeches weren't bad, but so many at once meant it was slightly overwhelming. Lunch and then Icebreakers, and then PEAKS profiling thingum, which was interesting. After that we had Station Games. Marie Curie is after all really quiet, but I think we all had fun anyway. The lightsticks at the end were really pretty(:

Day Two. Plenary session with the Youth Panel (Lanabel!) which was cool, since they're all pretty young but still really accomplished, and then Operation BIT. Dr Lan is...really cool. Toured a small part of NUS! Talked to Sabina along the way she is so cute haha. Random semi-class dinner after that :D Miru and mango pudding haha Sakae!! Got home at 10 though :O

Day Three. Plenary session was cool too, everyone was talking about the speakers after that. Ms Melissa Kwee (?) is damn cool omg and she was very impactful. World Cafe Conversation was fun, even though the questions kind of overlapped slightly. Concert prep! RG is so hardcore. Our item wasn't bad at first but it had potential to start WW3 so we had to change it and it became quite random haha.

Day Four. UNIFEM sounds damn cool! But I don't think I'll join the youth group, but I might join when I'm older. After lunch was MAD Movement, which was quite fun actually. I dunno, I wasn't really tired like everyone else. But I thought it was really cool that we gave away all our bottles and then we got people to sign on our boards(: Even though rejection is so painful (we got rejected so many times): ) and approaching random people is...intimidating. International Friendship Night was awesomeee. Went to change in 413, my classroom is not the same without the constant noise :/ Nearly everyone dressed up! Marie Curie waited for everyone else to take food haha. Eating is the hall is damn fun heh. Seeing all the different cultural performances was really good. I thought my group's performance was damn random and mad and kinda fail but ohwellz. Facils' performance was cool haha.

After that everyone went mad and we started a huge circle around the hall! And we ran so many times omg and we high-fived everybodyyy. Principals and all. Ran up and down the stage and around and around in circles :D After that Selene dropped me off at Pasir Ris and I had to run for the last train D:

Day Five. 5 days pass by so quickly. Speeches, and then food and we had time to take photos. Marie Curie is a quiet group but we're all really nice, really awesome people, and I'm glad I got to know them(: And our facilitators are the best everrr. My group is SO CUTE(:

Adalie, Mar, Chau, Seong Joo, Yi Xian, Ramya, Yasira, Zhi Ming, Sabina. Xin Ping, Ariel, Ting Wei. None of you will ever read this (if you did I'd be quite freaked out actually._. ) but thank you for making these 5 days really fun and helping to make ICYL 2010 a really great experience for me(: I ♥ all of you, really. Marie Curie! :D

On another note, we forgot to take a class photo):

ICYL turned out better than I expected. Not all of it was new-there were so many speeches, and I've heard quite alot about leadership-but some of it was, and it was really inspiring, and others affirmed/re-affirmed certain things. I thought it was really good anyway, and I think I learnt alot-I didn't think I learnt so much at first but thinking back, I did, after all. And I think I managed to internalise alot of things.

I really need to pack for Perak tomorrow omg I'm damn last-minute I haven't even changed money yet haha.

LJ just deleted my rather long post about Graduation): Okay for fairly thoughtful stuff like that I'm sticking to wordpress from now on. Don't feel like writing it all down now though, maybe tomorrow.

And in other news, Arsenal lost))):

Life's been pretty good though, although my schedule seems unnaturally full, all things considered.

Nanowrimo ahhhhh okay channel Alvin West.

Dear RGS, I'm graduating in 2 days, and here I am rushing out (overdue) Options homework. WHAT. IS. THIS.

Raffles means several things, and one of them seems to be an endless workload. :/

Life-changing decisions

2010-10-27T00:30:00.002+08:00

BCMH. (CHEM, BCME?)

Sheesh to anyone not in my batch (who reads my blog regularly) I probably sound like the most fickle person ever. But there are so many things to consider, after all.

I hope I have cool classmates! Having to take H1 Chinese might affect, though :/ Being classmates with Shawn would be damn cool. And classmates with Gen, maybe? That'd be awesomeee.

I feel like watching The Social Network! NC16...

I hope the wind changes soon

2010-10-24T18:56:00.001+08:00

SHAWNNNN. (Idk this song just reminds me of you.)

Today it rained very heavily and I wanted to go out and play.

Haze, haze, go away.

It's not over tonight

2010-10-22T00:13:00.002+08:00

School
Class shirt came today :D I wish there was a 413 somewhere on it but ohwell, I love it anyway.

Options why so hardcoreeee.

Built chicken pox today!

3/4 days of school left after Options :/

Soccer tomorrow! :DDD

I may already have my fam dress!

6/12
Hi Clar I *think* it's 27th. Not too sure though heh.

I...don't think I'll apply to Kino, I have other things besides Chalet and I want my public holidays :/

Rest assured that yes I have started planning Chalet (with Slime's help), although I have yet to call people. Sheesh.

Can't come for MG this Saturday :/ Maybe really really late.

413
I hope class picnic is damn awesome!

I love the 32 of you, I'm not ready to say goodbye):

Coincidence

2010-10-21T00:02:00.002+08:00

Today I went to back to school and on impulse I decided to go up to Tangs instead of going to the 190 bus stop and I walked quickly and met Grace and Lianne!

Today we had Gelare :D Missed it omg I haven't eaten it in ages. Actually I don't even remember when was the last time that I saw an outlet...

STORY OF MY LIFE.

Post-EOY life is good

2010-10-17T21:47:00.009+08:00

Hello world, Shawn says I sound very angry): So to combat the angst, I bring you photos! Second day of History Trip-Quarry Bank Mill(:

Maggie(: My fellow History buff haha we still haven't exchanged Versailles/Normandy books and I still haven't read my D-Day book!

Gen :D We don't look alike~

Everyone else! ZhuoRong Valerie Grace Jolynn Melia :D

11 days can bring emotional balance to my life. 11 days spent with the same people creates a certain kind of bond, and it was really an incredibly awesome amazing trip.

I hope we get in for TV reauditions tomorrowww.

Also, Slime, whatever happened to your blog? o_O

#1 Sleepover
#2 Outing with my favourite minahs and the Chindian
#3 Yami yoghurt+run with Amoeba Lee (Slice closed down): )
#4 Museum Day with Maggie and May (it rhymes!)
#5 Part C NCOs' Outing

All still unplanned hahaha but too awesome!

18 days left in RGS! :O :D D: :/ (: ): ); o_O O_O ^_^ T.T

Too many emotions. I'm going to start bringing my camera to school every day.

On another note, CHALET homg where did all my efficiency go.

413

2010-10-14T23:45:00.002+08:00

I LOVE MY CLASS.

AND, WE HAVE THE BEST TEACHERS EVERRR.

This doesn't do my class justice, at all, but I don't feel like writing now. Graduation is coming, too soon? I don't want to go but I don't want to stay.

Hope?

2010-10-14T00:08:00.002+08:00

I think the most frustrating thing about EOYs, for me, is that I know I gave my all, I get a good/okay mark, and you know what? I don't feel happy.

I feel relieved, very relieved that I didn't fail, that I did well, but I don't feel happy. Good grades don't necessarily bring joy, but I feel like I'm missing something.

26/30 for Geog today. Second highest in class. I looked at my paper and felt...very relieved. Granted, screwing up Chinese probably didn't help, but still. I should at least be a little happy, right.

Why am I not happy?

Maybe it's the borderline grades, but heck, I don't care about borderline, a 3.6 is a 3.6 and a 4.0 is a 4.0.

Maybe it's the pms, which as usual has left me in a very weird (in a bad way) mood, although at least I didn't get cramps like Rachel today.

Sigh options homework DAMN SIAN. Watched House today it was good!(: But the ending was so sad I felt like crying omg Dr Chase):

English tomorrow, I don't know what to think anymore. Math on friday, I need my 4.0 really badly but I don't know anymore. I just hope for a good overall gpa.

Today someone told me I sounded super sian. Reminded me to 'enjoy what I'm doing'.

Maybe that's it.

Average is not enough

2010-10-09T00:50:00.002+08:00

Today:

#1 Passed Chem overall! 2.4. Considering how much I was freaking out yesterday about potentially failing Chem overall (Mindy, Teeqa and Gen bear witness), it's a really good thing. But it's both < / 3 and a relief, because what in the world 2.4?! But then it's Chem.

#2 Math 1 didn't go as well as I'd hoped, I pray very very very hard for my 4.0. ): Reading people's comments about math didn't help, am I the only one who lost the math genius part of me when I left SHPS? But no, Shorya's math was always good, and Shawn is mugger.

#3 Camwhoring and crap!talk in the Magic lab with Grace and Maggie, with Lydia and Sheryl on the other side photoshopping for Inkspiration. Went to print my Options homework and came back to find Keinin, Andrea and Miru there as well, and we went quite mad, but it was fun(:

#4 Sheryl! You will never read this but I really wish I had the chance to get to know you better, I remember mugging with you way back in Sec 2 and being History seatmates part of last year and this year(: And ear piercing(: Oh and Math PT partners in Sec 2 too. I hope you get to go where you want to go, IB fan(:

#5 History was...frankly, pretty damn disappointing. Okay, very. But I knew I wouldn't do spectacularly when I saw the paper and nearly panicked when I read the SBQ question. But...grah, I mugged like crap for History, definitely more than some of my other subjects, and there was a ton of content and I honestly believe I internalised it because I was able to explain pre-WWII and WWII to Atiqah after Cold War yesterday and I could have elaborated much more but she didn't need to know all the details. I mean, wts, it's not even a 3.6?! D: And I missed it by one mark. Overall 3.6. Frankly I needed to get a really really high mark to pull my overall gpa up to 4.0, but that doesn't stop me from feeling like I could have gotten a higher 3.6, especially since I intend to take History next year. ):

#6 Percentage for EOYs is freaking high. Not that I'm just realising this, but yeah. Also, thank you Bernice who saved me for Bio when she started discussing Continuous Variation with Maggie and I before the paper. I didn't mug Continuous Variation and that discussion probably saved my 4.0 heh. Thank you Maggie for your SBQ hint before the paper if you didn't mention Appeasement my last-minute mugging would have been purely FP! Okay well the stuff for Appeasement was in my head but at least I didn't have to deal with the question being something completely unexpected.

#7 Spent more than 1 hour of Media Literacy today trooping around school trying to take interesting photos. I really like some, others...are probably quite weak in conveying what they're meant to convey. Our school compound has been photographed too many times :/ Got some decent photos though. Options are freaking hardcore la omg but we're probably making Cold War more hardcore by ourselves heh. I mean, Etinne and Maggie borrowed books about it before we even started Options! I love The Pressables.

#8 Old Supreme Court with Maggie and more math over the weekend :D D: Going out with Mariaaaa on Wednesday, and what about TV, guys!!

#9 WE ARE NOT THE SUM OF OUR GPAS. Even so, all I want this time is for my gpa to be closer to 3.6 than to 3.2, or in other words my highest ever. (Yeah noob la I know la go away.) And at the rate I'm going, for the first time ever I'm going to know my gpa, have calculated it before I see it in my progress report. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

#10 I miss England and France, talk about the travel bug. I hate tagboard spambots. I need to run!! (Monday, Maggie?)

We are not the sum of our gpas

2010-10-07T20:03:00.002+08:00

I NEED A VERY VERY HIGH 4.0 FOR MATH TOMORROW. I NEED MY 4.0 REALLY REALLY BADLY.

Paper checking today, for once I calculated overall gpas. Hello my lovely SS 4.0 I haven't seen you since midyear last year, 3.6 for Bio which isn't too bad.

SS paper was...a relief more than anything else, I didn't bother looking through my very messy handwriting, but I ought to be really happy with my mark, all things considered. Felt like I could have done better for Bio, gotten a higher 4.0, but Maggie reminded me it was the same day as History.

Chem was...disappointing. Depending on how badly I flunk PT I still have a chance of not passing Chem overall, and then how am I going to take Chem next year! (Get sent for counselling._.) Mugged like shit and just scraped a 3.6. It's not enough to pull my Chem grades up.

So I can't count Chem and M2 in my overall gpa, which means I need to score spectacularly for Geog. And I need full marks for math tomorrow, if possible.

We get back History tomorrow, I think I really will cry if I fail. I need my 4.0s.

We've been living our whole lives on a system that is broken

2010-10-07T00:31:00.003+08:00

2/3 of Math 2 EOY Revision Paper left to go, fml fml fml I don't need to sleep tonight already. Mind is still largely coherent but my stomach feels really really weird.

RI paper came today, dear math dept it's a bit late, isn't it. Oh well shall just pick and choose random questions to do tomorrow.

I really cannot stand this I am so scared I NEED MY 4.0 DAMN BADLY. Two, if possible. But I need a 4.0 for M1 damn badly I just want Monday to be over so I don't need to really study anymore.

I think I need to print out our Cold War presentation script too.

We start getting back our papers tomorrow :/

Hungry~ and breaking out grah.

Keep calm and carry onnn.

Steel knife in my windpipe

Love the way you lie is stuck in my head haha Rachael kept playing it today! Pro shizz she played Waka waka on the piano(:

Oh well better than Whatcha say, that song is damn annoying and Maggie got it stuck in all our heads on Monday-.-

Today I realised that the more sleep I get, the less adrenaline I have from the lack of sleep. Which means more sleep=more tired. So, being unhealthy and getting less sleep but being more awake to mug, or being somewhat healthier and getting more sleep but being more tired all the time?

Don't answer that, I skipped dinner yesterday, my meals and mealtimes are as screwed up as usual and even more screwed up what with Options, but so long as I don't faint it should be alright.

I really really hate Math I suck at Differentiation and nevermind Integration, or for that matter Probability. I pretty much get Probability and P&C though so that should be okay, I hope.

Ended up not going museum today, Mayyy we need to plan our Museum Day! Visit all the museums :D It can't be a weekday though, Options everyday :/

Everyday I look at everyone around me doing math when I'm sleeping in school and I mentally hit myself for my lack of productivity, when I'm not doing math at home I feel guilty. But there are too many questions I can't do and it is so bloody demoralising why, oh why am I so dumb.

Sucks. And when I do get questions correct I don't feel much of a sense of accomplishment. Because I should be getting it right, shouldn't I?

Why did I sleep so much today it's midnight and I really don't need to be feeling tired now, I need to stay awake until around 3, I think.

I don't know what I'm doing here, I don't know what I've been doing lately. I've only watched one movie because I haven't had time to watch the other one, I really don't know what I'm doing recently.

Maybe math is starting to mess with my mind.

I looked at my past M2 papers and wondered how in the world I am going to pass M2 overall. I would need to get a 4.0 for this paper and for me that's in the region of impossible. And we're combining with RI and RI questions are hard. I think if what Mala said is true, I can forget about H2 Math :/

WHAT am I doing, I'm becoming incoherent, I need caffeine.

(Also, I need to lose weight.)

----------------------------------

Today Lianne and I ate lunch with Anna&Angie and Esther, my Chinese class classmates are freaking cool. Although Esther promptly started looking through my photos while I was eating and at one point Anna and Esther started going crazy and exclaiming 'the hair! the hair!' and after a bit of wts on my part I realised it was 'the hand! the hand!' and that was my previous profile picture on facebook and don't you think it's a (very) nice photo! (Not for the hand la duh.)

Which I remember Maggie took for us in the very short time we had to walk back to the bus (less than 30 seconds?) and which we weren't supposed to have taken at all because we weren't supposed to bring cameras down (which we didn't) since the place was super crowded (although you can't tell from this) and a tourist trap and we only went there to get a nice group photo and which was taken by Gen's handphone camera because it was too good a shot to miss (everything was, actually) and some idiot (junior) brought her camera down (and would have been murdered if the teachers realised) and we look a little awkward (because we had no time) but we also look really happy(: I miss France. Run-on sentences and good handphone cameras ftw.

It has grown to new unexpected levels and I still maintain there isn't that much basis for it as they claim and like Melia said today it is getting rather lame-.- I was quite amused by the graffiti though heh, and they rubbed it away after that.

(On a sidenote, I realise in the photo we're wearing the same pair of pants. As in we discovered we both own the same pair of pants in different colours on Be Yourself Day, I think. And we happened to wear it again because all we brought for 11 days was pants and jeans and one person can only have so many pairs, you know.)

--------------------------------

I haven't blogged about Glamorous Billionaires but I think Grace and Lianne have talked enough about it and I agree with them completely. And honestly, talk about (really) bad organisation wtf.

Counting the days

2010-09-28T00:32:00.002+08:00

We have the best cle teachers EVER. They are too awesome!

Today we started playing pickupsticks during floorball hahahaha and then we went to run! Although fml I didn't expect to be running so soon cos Mrs Ang didn't come, I drank a whole bottle of water and nearly died): But after that did a bit of pt(: I don't feel any thinner but at least we're doing something right hm. I have established that I cannot run alone and that I am somewhat fitter than my friends...

Chinese test tomorrow ahh 150 chengyus wts. National Museum with May on Wednesday! :D

Need to exercise more fatsss I barely ran at all what happened): But yeah it's sort of for fun so no motivation heh.

We don't have many days left in RG at all): I love you friends no matter what happens for TV we are all awesome and we've come so far and I really really love you all. I love my class and all our weirdness (we collectively agree that we went mad after eoys hahaha).

Today I realised that I always feel like shit after running, and today I went to talk to Yanhan(: Sorry I was so sweaty)):

K chinese chinese hope it's easy!

._.

2010-09-23T23:31:00.001+08:00

Sigh we don't see the rest of the school so much anymore, I miss my junior(s).

My nose hurts._.

Today was a very good day but it also had its FML moments, but it was a pretty good one in general(:

Where did the time go

2010-09-22T21:41:00.002+08:00

16 days to Math EOYs, FMLFMLFML.

I haven't started and was planning to start today, but just the thought of it fills me with dread.

I cannot believe how much I dislike Math now, it's so sad): I used to love Math. And it will never leave me, Math is still practically compulsory in jc.

16 days and then I will really be free, because my M2 is beyond hope.

Motivation, where are youuu~

Be grateful.

2010-09-21T23:17:00.002+08:00

From tumblr. I think I shall create one after Math is over(: Speaking of which, most of the people I know have started mugging Math like crazyyy. Better start tomorrow :/

Plans for plans

2010-09-18T00:52:00.002+08:00

As stupid as this sounds, I have a plan, to make plans for our last days in RG. We're leaving):

Options timetable kinda sucks I have options everyday! And I realise I don't have much free time :/ And double math+double chinese is going to be shit.

I need to plan all my fun stuff! Kino next week already(:

Oh yeah yesterday (thursday) was super fun, but I'm lazy to blog about it heh. Lianne and Grace already did, anyway(:

Facebook isn't allowing me to upload photos, so I decided to do it here instead.

♥. Shawn stepping on Ms Jocelyn Tan's toes, GE dept having changed but remained the same wonderful group of teachers it is, us looking all sweaty and insanely happy (especially in AYJ's case), Matt wearing our jacket because its ours even though it wasn't cold, Nick not looking at the camera but smiling anyway, all of us having grown so much (literally, mostly for the guys). Slime disappeared to the toilet, and between Fon not being allowed and the 3rd lang people having prelims, we had 10. But 10 is half the class are we cool or what 8)

Also, did I ever tell you guys my ORD theme was...Harry Potter? :D Between Fon tagging us in a 'HP is gay' video and going through ORD photos, I can't wait for HP7 to come out.

(On a sidenote, Gen's camera ftw, and that was taken at 2.25am. I realise we sleep really really late.)

612th post :D

2010-09-15T21:27:00.002+08:00

HELLO 6/12 I MISS YOUUU. CLASS REUNION WHOOOOOO I CAN START PLANNING! :D

Liberation feels so good omg. I am so incredibly, incredibly relieved that everything is over and I no longer need to mug!

Class lunch today after History(: Damn funny haha we walked around Far East for damn long.

Papers today were quite crap. Bio wasn't as bad as I expected but before the paper I was dying cos I didn't mug Bio properly last night. And everybody wrote damn long for the last question but I only wrote like half the lines? :/

History omg Mr Tan set the paper it was so not easy. I died a little at SBQ but I'm quite satisfied with what the length I wrote, but after I saw Kinnari's email (I only saw Yingxin's one last night!) I think I'm going to die la wth. Which is ultimate sad because I mugged like crazy for History and I had everything in my head except figures but if I didn't ATBQ or my structure is gone then die. I hope it goes well :/ Everybody freaked out before history, class was crazy.

After everything...I am just so relieved it's over.

Anyway I lost my light blue pen): I like that pen! And I have like 10 mosquito bites in 3 days wth all damn itchy and red and obvious did my blood sugar increase or something-.-

Math is an annoying thing in the back of my mind but it's okay I will celebrate and enjoy freedom :D Awesome eoeoy activities!

The last is the hardest

2010-09-14T22:57:00.002+08:00

So tomorrow's the last day of EOYs, and imo also the worst.

Bio and History omg tonight is gonna be a long one. I am so tired of mugging already): And tomorrow my hand is going to die.

Today;
-Thank goodness I looked at my fa right before English haha. I don't think I wrote awesomely but should be fine, I guess.
-Geog was crazy omggg. I was so relieved that it was the last Geog paper of my life when it was over. It was unpredictable but in any case we wouldn't have been able to predict it...but it definitely wasn't easy.
-Maggie and Shirlyn I am so sorry for your fas)):
-History ces while we were having Geog. WTS history is so screwed, omg): Why structure like that! Then again my old structure probably wouldn't have worked either, no time.
-My neighbours were talking about PSLE and I felt a little guilty because I know I never mugged the way their kids did, my parents were never that concerned about results. And I realise that no matter how much I mugged these past 2 years, I end up disappointed. But I don't feel cheated? Which is good I guess, but I have never mugged the way I did this time so I hope this time everything turns out different, in a spectacularly good way.

OMG I AM SO SICK OF MUGGING. I am on the verge of an emotional breakdown and I teetered so close to the edge so many times today. Freaking out like crazy, the stress is mad. But I was never one to cry over exams, or schoolwork. (If I did in the past I don't remember.)

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ONNNN. It's okay it's okay I will mug the night away and sleep and do awesomely tomorrow and then celebrate!

Good luck friends I don't even dare to touch the 2009 Bio paper, and this paper is supposed to be really hard.

TEENAGE DREAMS IN A TEENAGE CIRCUS

2010-09-13T23:24:00.002+08:00

Hello world, I have no idea what I'm doing here.

I'm left with Poverty for Geog, rereading English readings, and attempting to sleep early (by my standards).

All I want to do is plan my post-eoy schedule. Today I went home with Maria and found out my formerly mugger friend who is in both Geog and Physics RA played her holidays away and has serious emergency plans for tomorrow.

TWO MORE DAYS (3 for Physics people, 4 for RA geniuses), WE CAN DO THIS.

I am not screwed. Mr A marked my fa leniently but it's encouraging, English will be fine. Geog will be fine.

(I want to freak out now but no, back to English readings.)

2 days left!

2010-09-13T10:14:00.004+08:00

Chem is over! Doable paper, but I know I made a number of errors :/

Geog and English tomorrow and I'm blogging on the way home, efficiency...so long as I don't crash for too long when I get home.

Now I can forget everything I learnt about chem and hope and pray I did really well, although my hopes aren't very high :/ I can pass but I don't just need a pass, I need like a 4.0 :/

Ohwell...I spotted an error in my last question with 1 minute left and didn't know how to correct it :/ so I was relieved when it was over, but it was kinda bittersweet.

Freedom in 2 days! Can't waittt.

I WANT TO SCREAM.

2010-09-12T23:14:00.003+08:00

CHEM IS TOMORROW!!

SECOND HALF OF EOYS STARTS TOMORROW!!!

I AM SO FREAKED OUT I HAVEN'T FINISHED MEMORISING CHEM SO MUCH FOR HARDCORING CHEM TODAY.

AHHHHH I CAN PASS CHEM BUT I NEED TO GET LIKE A FREAKING 4.0 TO PASS OVERALL. PRESSURE OMG I NEED TO STOP MAKING STUPID MISTAKES. (like ticking the right answer but writing down the wrong option, wth-.-)

Hello batch'10, we will rock the rest of eoys.

countdown; less than 3 days to the end!

Female hygiene issues

2010-09-12T01:09:00.002+08:00

(if you're a guy you might not want to read this post. sorry about the mild angst.)

Yesterday, I realised that my mild bad mood for the previous few days was because I was pmsing. Which a total FML because stress makes it irregular, and I was hoping I could get through exams without having to worry about other things.

But ohwell, it's already been 3 weeks late, but stress does weird things.

Today, I've thrown up, walked around the house like a bloody drunkard, and nearly passed out a few times. My head has been spinning the whole day, and it's not like I haven't taken breaks, I've napped a few times and slacked. And eaten, too.

Sigh I thought yesterday's cramps were bad enough. Today this screwed up my mugging man it's so hard to read notes when you keep seeing double)): So I did History and a little Chem, but I gave up on reading through old stuff for Bio.

Tomorrow I need to be super productive and read through old Bio notes and hardcore Chem, this better not happen):

Why does this have to happen now of all times, omg. Why am I losing so much blood):

Feeling lightheaded the whole day is not cool):

I NEED A BIGGER BRAIN.

2010-09-10T19:59:00.003+08:00

I need to be alot smarter I need to be much more productive I need to not be so scared of EOYs. I need to do well I need to not crumble under the pressure I need to do amazingly well. I need to do amazingly well for everything.

I want to catch 11:11. I want EOYs to be over. I want to go out and have fun and check Sistic for concerts!

This has been the most mugger holiday everrr. Apart from getting loads more sleep (albeit at unearthly times), blogging fairly often, facebooking a little, and succumbing to the time-waster that is youtube (but in total less than 2h gone), it has been full-on mugging. And taking regular breaks where I do nothing but bloghop and playing short games on my phone every so often.

I can't wait for EOYs to be overrr. But until then, mugging. STRESSED ttm I need a bigger brain and better memory and I need to be smarter and I need to be super productive.

On the bright side, I've finished notes for everything! Except English but I never intended to make notes for English anyway.

I want my life back :/

Old Supreme Court

2010-09-09T19:03:00.003+08:00

THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY
OPEN HOUSE

Spend the 9th & 10th of October with us at the City Hall and the former Supreme Court! For the first time, the hallowed doors of these historic monuments open to the public—for one weekend only. Go on our guided tours, enjoy photo exhibitions and film screenings, and get into the action with a whole host of exciting activities. You may even walk away with prizes from one of our lucky draws!

Admission is FREE. Don't miss your last chance to experience these
buildings before they are transformed into the National Art Gallery!

:D :D :D Super cool omg Old Supreme Court! I love that place!

Actually before last year I wasn't very interested in the CBD. Then City March last year and Supreme Court Tour made me more interested in Singapore's history. Then this year on the way to VCH and VCH itself and walking around CBD for work made me much more interested. Mm post-eoy plans(:

Only thing is it's between our math papers): But my Math 2 is hopeless already (although it's not like I'm going to heckcare it). (And I need to do super well for Math 1. *pressure*)

I saw it in the papers and was going to ask around and then I realised Maggie already emailed me about it haha.

City March last year heh. Old Supreme Court/City Hall is damn cool!

Blast me.

2010-09-08T15:46:00.002+08:00

Every single day, I remind myself I need to be more productive. And what is this, am I doing anything? Progress has been sluggish, and that complements with my pathetic brain capacity all too well.

Sigh Maggie I know the feeling all too well.

1) Went through english readings, highlighted essential bits. But making notes=fail cos compiling makes them disjointed-.- Oh well I guess I'll just read through the day before, which most people will do anyway, right...the topics are so broad anyway how to study properly-.- And there's Geog the same day. Argumentative sheesh hope I manage to write well and score.

2) Finished going through Geog and making notes but it's not in my head, yet. There's so much to memorise! :/

3) Finished History notes, I just need to memorise all the figures. And of course go through everything again there's so muchhh.

4) Halfway through Chem. I have to practice Chem :/ I need to do damn well just to pass overall I don't think my pt was great. Sigh.

5) 1/3 through Bio. If I follow my schedule I can finish everything on time. If I stick to my schedule. It's 4 now wts good thing I only decided to do Bio today.

Halfway through eoys. This time next week, I will be...relieved, more than anything else. Relieved that it'll almost all be over. (Math-.-)

I can almost taste the freedom): This has got to be the most boring holidays everrr, mugging my life away.

HEIL HEIL HEIL

2010-09-07T22:58:00.003+08:00

After much crazy typing, summarising, deciding what's important, and condensing...

I HAVE FINISHED HISTORY NOTES!

Although I feel so inadequate compared to Deenie, who is nearly done with mugging, and Kinnari. And all my other pro-ded friends.

I discovered my ability to go into insane detail by putting most related stuff in, and I happily plonked everything D-Day related into my notes.

Which led to one hell of a time cutting irrelevant stuff later on. Condensing everything was crazy.

Sigh I cut slightly more than 1/5 of my original wordcount. Even so, mugging is going to be madness. But I elaborated loads in all my notes, since so long as I understand, I should be able to spew it out pretty well. And I need to remember to link everything back to the question, and have a good structure for both sbq and seq, and answer the questions properly. It's easier for me than memorising bare stats and facts and crapping out elaborations in the exam anyway, especially considering the time limit.

I need to do really well :/

Why is history on the same day as biooo.

:/

2010-09-06T23:58:00.003+08:00

I should have been done with Geog about one hour ago.

On the other hand, I finished Geog notes!! :D Much thanks to all the stuff they gave us haha our teachers are so nice! Mm since it was a summary I added on alot of stuff from the readings.

Today I went back to school and I pretty much understand Geog now(: Hm but eoy will be hard, need to mug there's so much to remember omg.

What IS IT with all the tagboard spammers. Why do people like Vic have them too but Maggie doesn't have them! So annoying >(

Dysfunctional

2010-09-04T12:04:00.002+08:00

Younger sisters can be really annoying.

And my mum is a closet health freak. >(((

I think I realised why I hardly care for my health, and my diet is pretty screwed up.

And all the advice about healthy living everyone gives me falls on deaf ears way too often. Sorry about that, friends):

Hold on

2010-09-03T22:29:00.004+08:00

Philo today was crap haha. But for everybody's complaints they would fail last night, it turned out passable. Rewrote my answer to the first question and still had time to sleep(: Wrote quite alot since everyone around me wrote quite alot, Yingxin wrote so much! Dawn and Huijie always write tons and Deenie's aiming for KI so they all wrote alot so I crapped my way though.

September hols= EAT SLEEP MUGGG TRAVEL.

Hold on hold on be stronggg I cannot touch anything this time I cannot touch fic, or notdoppler, or books, or youtube, or games. Ahh fic):

Last stretch it will all be over soon!

Hold on if you feel like letting go.

Sept hols will be torture): Ok back to Chem.

2010-09-02T20:27:00.001+08:00

I. AM. GOING. TO. FAIL. PHILO.

WTS.

I had to blog about this:

Shawn's debt got compounded!

He now owes Ms Jocelyn Tan a RWS suite, and a whole collection of dresses (Y) From just a sweet, a suite and a dress. And he says Manolo collection somemore haha. 16 years more Shawn, the clock's ticking! :D

Muchness

2010-09-02T19:04:00.003+08:00

Teachers' Day! Was very awesome, Aces in the morning was freaking retarded. Concert was good I guess, SLs weren't all that bad, 413 was in the front row, Hi5 were emcees. Mr A publicly humiliated us >( But the teachers' performance was good(: Class party after that, although all the 3rd lang people and the muggers weren't there so it was quite small >< Took a number of class photos (upload, friends!) and food was pretty good.

Coke Fight after that, was pretty fun and quite long...we didn't do Company Games though, ohwell. Ex-sec fours came back(:

Rushed back to SHPS, teachers! 6/12! Good to see them again, talked, took photos (I have yet to upload), NickNeo and Ed are DAMN FREAKING TALL OMG. By then I was super tired and I had to get home to mug soon. Actually I was pretty exhausted before Coke Fight but that woke me up. Anyway it was good seeing everybody again, although alot of people had 3rd lang prelims :]

Chinese today, Paper 1 was pretty good. Wrote leisurely and still wrote more than 5 pages...and I doubt I went off-topic so that was okay. After that ate with everybody who wasn't staying in class to mug, my chinese classmates are damn funny!(: After that was Paper 2 and our invigilator was freaking anal-.- Pms-y pregnant woman. Paper 2 was super hard omg everybody was complaining about it after that. And laoshi walked around and stopped at everybody's tables to see what we were writing so pressurising!! Quite relieved it's over anyway but there's still chengyu test and H1 next year...this paper was so hard no wonder laoshi gave us H1 papers for practice-.- She says she thinks we all did okay but pro-er people like Adalie are worried they might fail so where does that leave the rest of us :/ Hope I pass ahh. Ohwell hopefully I'll do damn well for zuowen (at least laoshi set easy questions) and acceptably for Paper 2.

Philo tomorrow and I haven't studied yet ><

What do you do if you feel like you've lost a part of yourself, but have no idea how to get it back? Exam stress is leaving me in bad moods and making me random to the point where I get annoyed with myself. Sorry friends): After eoys there's still math in october >( And I need to get like full marks for M1. And do damn well for the rest of eoys okay stress pressure need to mug bye.

What I want for Christmas

2010-08-31T01:08:00.005+08:00

I LOVE THIS.

I also like this, but not so much as the previous one.

Good Charlotte! Cardiology comes out 2 November :DDD

AYJ already agreed to buy it for me YAYYY :D

When eoys end, I'm going to do that tumblr quiz thing.

First day is over and...in my opinion it didn't go well, but I don't know what to think anymore. Please let me do well for SS. I need to do very very well ohgod too much to write and not enough time I thought my links were horrible I thought I wrote badly. I thought I didn't scope my argument properly and I thought I didn't link everything together. I think my 4.0 dream is pretty unstable now, but maybe I could scrape a 3.6...I also need to do super well for PT omg. I already got one English MCQ question wrong, but apart from that I thought the much-too-long compre passage went generally okay although I felt like my answers to some of the questions were quite crap cos my mind went blank once I read it. And my summary was 216 words at first wts. Cut like crazy. Hope I do miraculously well for English and SS omg I cannot have a repeat of midyears for those. Actually I need to do remarkably well for everything, I think I can manage mediocre for English and SS but I need to do well, above average or at least average, if the average is high.

Been slacking off, went to eat after briefing today and left Plaza Sing at...3? But been mugging everyday too so its not so bad, although I definitely don't work as hard as people like Jolynn and Persa.

Have yet to send out a mass sms regarding the teachers' message about tomorrow...and I feel somewhat guilty for not doing much in the way of TD presents at all :/

Urgh okay finish going through Geog poverty slides, pack bag (god forbid I forget a spare change of clothes tomorrow), sms, sleep.

I actually really can't wait for eoys to be over, with loads of luck and mugging I will do remarkably well. Sept hols will be torture): No matter how badly I wrote for SS today, I think it's enough to secure me at least a 3.2? (I hope.) Just glad it's over, I was so relieved after it. Will feel very bad for Mr Lee if I do badly he is awesome! ><

Today wasn't so bad though, Deenie's happy endorphins, funny invigilators and my classmates laughing when we saw the question (we predicted it! but didn't try to guess haha) meant it wasn't such a bad day(: And eating after school heh I will miss Plaza Sing it is awesome there's so much fast food and pasta and pizza and the like.

Tomorrow will be a good day, plus tomorrow is mugging history I love history(: I realise I'm not very clear about Geog I need to ask Mrs Yap several questions!

we're leaving.

2010-08-28T14:13:00.003+08:00

Canon in D (my sister is in the midst of piano lesson) soothes my soul.

It also reminds me of sec 2, when my crazily musical class hummed/sang it every week.

It finally hit me that we're graduating really soon, and god, I will miss this. I will miss RGS, the people, 413, friends, juniors, teachers...I have alot to post about, but for now: EOYs.

They start on Monday.

Dear Whoever-is-up-there/God (free thinkers ftw),

Please give me (us all, actually) strength.

STRESS

2010-08-27T23:06:00.005+08:00

STRESSED STRESSED STRESSED this is as bad as the pre-camp stress before ATC and Specs.

Mr Lee is so pro I get what he's saying but how am I supposed to produce that kind of quality in exams! Came home and crashed for 3.5h today and woke up super annoyed with myself but the world isn't very clear now I dunno what's wrong with me): I better not be falling sick homg.

STRESSED TTM oh today was vetting bleahh I have so much to do after exams. But it's quite fun I guess heh.

Last day of official/proper lessons in RGS is over!(: ): It's pretty emotional, actually.

Where's my (so-called) other half I need to talk to somebody my ss notes are currently going nowhere):

11:11; I will do amazingly well for exams.

Keep holding on

2010-08-25T02:18:00.002+08:00

Do you remember how we used to mug through the night last year...

But last year was honestly crazy and I remember writing essays at 2am and being barely able to focus.

Last stretch, batch! 3 more days of proper school. After thinking about how much there is to mug for Chem and Bio and History and Geog I think I really won't have enough time to mug during Sept hols! DDD:

Need to do well for everything, so hope it goes alright.

We'll get through this together, friends(:

Pray everything goes well I am so scareddd): Haven't been getting nightmares like Maggie but it scares the hell out of me all the same I need to do bloody well for everything it seems so impossible-but nothing is impossible. Although the way I've been going it seems pretty impossible I really think I'm going to run out of time to mug!!

CHEMC, but...BCMHC? But there's a greater push from my family to do Econs, and I want to take History. I think CHEMC anyway...

Been blogging here alot recently, I want to blog on wp and lj but when I open the tabs my mind goes blank. Maybe it's cos I blog about different stuff there. Good thing I blog quickly anyway...

Screwed up math ga today in the stupidest way ever, I feel really really dumb): but went out to eat lunch and it lifted my mood a little(: I will really really miss 413 I hope some of us are in the same class! Since our subject combis aren't all that different, or maybe it's just the people I've been talking to about it.

Wonder who in my batch will take PCME apart from Keinin and Physics RA people._. Not many people at all, probably...

Tried Turkish icecream today, Elaine looked really suspicious when asking us whether we'd tried before but it was good haha(: After eoys I am going to drag my ice-cream buddy there, we've eaten so much ice-cream together this year! Actually eaten alot together._.

12 points

2010-08-22T19:04:00.006+08:00

1) Uh, remember I have a blog tracker. Here and on wordpress too.

2) The next time I see 6/12 will be Teachers' Day celebrations. I miss you guys):

3) Everybody's saying Chem. Thanks for tagging!(: Um Slime I can appeal? But they made it very clear that they don't allow anyone to take just Bio, even though my batch has alot of people who want to do that :/ History and Geog seems like a murderous combi anyway, but Aarthi says she's gonna take History Geog TamilLit and Math. But it's not like we know that much about the system, and it's not like I have any seniors to ask...

4) The Bio powerpoint on Gene Mutation is driving me up. the. wall. There's something wrong with my com so the spooler isn't working properly, hence I can't print that, but it's a graphics heavy pdf and I can print other stuff, like the worksheet answers. Even so, it is insanely frustrating and I think my dad's going to bring my laptop in to solve that and to troubleshoot other stuff.

5) Options timetable is out! They don't sound as fun as previously, no math on 3 days but one day of double math a week. And what in the world am I going to do during Chinese? One option a day except for Monday, it's fine but huge breaks in between. But that should be okay since I'd need to study math. Kinda wish I could go home early but oh well, anyway Tuesday and Thursday ends at 1.

6) Options classes. I want the other Viruses and Bacteria class there are 7 of my classmates there including Easties to go home with and Gen and Valerie :/ Ah well my class doesn't look too bad, at least there's Lianne(: And En-Ting. Media Literacy is so sad I'm not in Amoeba's class! But her class has a ton of 414 people o_O My class has Audrey Huiyi Adalie Rachael Qiaoyoke and Joie...not that bad, I guess. History is going to be awesome, Amelia Amoeba Persa Voon Vivian Maggie Teeqa Etinne Qiaoyoke ZYN! :D And Mr Tan.

7) Hello Fon I don't know if you still read this place but hold on, friend. Hold on if you feel like letting go, it'll all be alright in the end.

8) Crap I still need to meet Josh.

9) She Will Be Loved has been stuck in my head for agesss, it's getting a little freaky. But there are reasons, and it's a nice song.

10) EOYS EOYS EOYSSSSS HOMG I NEED TO DO DAAAAMN WELL. MUGMUGMUG I AM TOO UNPRODUCTIVE! Probably cos the mugger subjects are after Sept hols and if I mug now I won't remember but I can't just do it during Sept hols! But at least I'm reading through everything already. I need Chem tuition, and math when it comes. Stoopz my printer's/laptop's refusal to print has annoyed me like crazyyy.

11) Logged in to fb today to send Shawn some pig in MFW, at least I'm not addicted to that place. (I am getting mildly addicted to my phone though.) Cleared up a little things and accepted friend requests._.

12) Read Hunger Games and it was good! Ahh I want to plan all my post-EOY activities now come up with lists of books to read and buy (Kino outings, friends!) and movies to watch. I need $$, pasta with Yanhan and the like. (Speaking of Yanhan I still haven't completed my library hours shit laaaa ><) In any case, need to mug Math after EOYs and do damn well for Math so I suppose those long breaks between lessons and options aren't all that bad.

Apart from facebook, I posted 1 photo in England here and 1 photo in France on wordpress. ...1 more in England, I couldn't find a full photo of all 8 of us in the fields (and couldn't be bothered to log in to fb) so this will have to do(:

We look damn happy(: First day there! :D The grass there is so soft I could lie there foreverrr.

People aren't blogging

2010-08-19T22:47:00.006+08:00

We look really happy(:

I don't know why, but this week I seem to be spamming History. Not that I mind, but 2 fas in a week is pretty...taxing. Not to mention the insane amount of Chinese homework I have.

History, Math, Econs, H1 Chinese.

I don't care who you are, if you're reading this: Geog or Chem? Tag, thanks(: Anonymous taggers welcome but don't tag twice.

(There are so many people in my batch who want to take only Bio! Why, RJ, why!)

Decisions

2010-08-18T23:04:00.002+08:00

Grow, hair, grow.

Talk during CLE today: RJ doesn't allow us to take Bio without taking Chem= I. AM. SCREWED.

I don't even know if I can pass Chem at the end of this year, and the only other humanities subject I'm interested in is Geog. And maybe TSD, but just a little.

Which means I am screwed because I cannot take Geog and History together!!! Well I can but it's crazy! Even crazier than Bio and History, Jinghui. And after talking to my relief History teacher today I decided I'm going to take History, so.

And I don't think I'd want to do KI, so yeah.

Ah why can't we take just Bio I really like Bio): And I don't like Chem and I don't want to have to do it the future blehhh. And when I was first considering between Bio and Chem I picked Bio because I like it, and also cos I think I'd do alot better for Bio at A levels than for Chem?

So if I pass Chem at the end of the year then it'll be CHEMC, if I don't then GHEMC? I feel like emailing my (relief) history teacher cos she did CHEMC but she's freaking smart and is going to LSE and she says JC life is fun and she didn't do her Chem and Math homework and got alot of distinctions or something. And right now I'm not doing Chem and Math homework and I'm doing pretty badly. (Omg wts la how am I going to take Chem and Math in JC I already need to mug them like hell before EOYs just so I won't fail at the end of the year. My math is currently screwed beyond screwed and I think I screwed up the last GA.)

Geog and History together is freaking insane!! And I lost my love for Geog so urgh. I don't think I hate human geog as much as Grace does but I'm quite set on History and doing both is madness grah. And I might need one science in the future for whatever reason.

Maybe I should email my teacher, but she's freaking smart and it's not like I know her well even though she's really nice. And she was my sec 1 mass dance capt but that doesn't count for much, huh.

CHEMC, and I need to mug like hell for Chem and Math. In jc I am going to mug like hell for Chinese and drop it as soon as possible.

I don't want to go to jc already):

But jc history sounds really fun(:

Jinghui wants to go kayaking after eoys so fun :D

We were the members of the NCC.

HBL

2010-08-16T23:08:00.003+08:00

Had to play a game for Geog, it was surprisingly really really hard (or maybe it's just me). Took me super long to ensure no one died.

Why is there GA tomorrow): I have so much to mug and so much work to do!

EOYs are coming soon soon soon too soon! But my post-EOY activities are going to be awesome(:

ORD.

2010-08-16T00:15:00.004+08:00

Last Training was on Wednesday. My last training, our last training, and it was wonderful.

My last training in NCC was on a rainy, rainy day, so we moved Part Cs to the canteen where everybody stared and got intimidated (people told us they were very scary and could we please make them count softer and of course we smiled and ignored them) and we did PT. And Part Cs did crazy PT (well we thought it was crazy but then again it is Achievement Day) and it didn't matter that so many of them weren't there because they tried really really hard(:

And Persa had a headache cos it was the first day of fasting and 1SG Jiahui was there and she was pretty scary and she was talking to Mr Ng when we went to talk to him and that was scary :/

And then we pumped with them and we did CJJ with them and it felt good, but we only realised we forgot to stretch after we pumped haha.

But we had to cut a little PT because of time but it was really good nevertheless and we were happy already. And then drills and we all had identical O_O expressions because the number was really high and time constraints!! But we got there and then we started experimenting and it was really funny and we were all very high and gay by then because they achieved their goals and then more Part Cs came and we experimented somemore!

Mm and then it was Company Games, and then Company Singing, and then We, and it was all over too soon, the fun part of last training. We was amazingly fast. And then we went to play! Well no not really but we went to the play area because we are all happy people and anyway the area is cool and we had other reasons for going there.

And then we lit candles and read our migratory birds story and they blew out the candles together and we started from the wrong verse of the song but that was okay and then we gave our colourful unconventional presents. And then they gave us pretty presents and we spotted ChuLeeVoon and got her to help us take a picture(:

And then Last Training was over and we got our stuff and left and when I got home I realised that it hadn't sunk in that Last Training was over even though it was a really good Last Training.

Preparations for ORD started with crashing Gen's place on Friday, which everybody knew about-.- Because Easties were asking how I was going home and everybody found out that and decided it was very funny because of the couple thing. And after InConvo Mr Tan asked me 'Eh where's the other NCC?' And I was with Maggie and she started laughing and I was all O_O WHAT?! because Gen and I (everybody started calling us NCC on the trip and after it) are not even in the same class and he knows that! And we are not inseparable although admittedly after I got over the shock I told him I was sleeping over at Gen's place for 2 nights and he had a funny expression.

-InConvo: TV prep! Mr Lee bought us pizza for class dinner(: Met Yanhan. They wanted to get Corrinne May but she was busy. Maggie and Rachael and Jaslyn and the eating competition.-

Yeah anyway left school with Maggie and Kinnari and stood outside YCK mrt with some other girl and the thing I associate that place with the most is HQ.

And then I looked up to see SSG Germaine, who can drive (cool or what!), and Gen, who had identical grins(:

Watched the news between doing stuff and SSG Sharon is a President's Scholar! Cool stuff 8D

Between everything we slept at 4am and woke up stoned the next morning. Gen's alarm clock is super loud!

Changed and ate breakfast and then left for school where we crashed my Chinese classroom. Steph was very sick):

And then suddenly it was parade! Which was small and it felt personal. And then bang we were out and we went to talk to the company and for once we took the longest, probably cos we spent as long talking to Part Cs as we did to the Parts and Part Cs were everywhere heh. And then parade was over and it was Company Games.

And because we were all in No. 3 we didn't sit down and then after awhile we sat on the tables and watched the Company have fun playing Footdrill Warfare and Part Cs are damn amusing(:

And then Company Songs and then WE! And it was too fast to catch it properly but I thought the last bang was good(: And then we fell in and bersurai-ed and Part Cs provided a ton of food for Reception!! And there isn't normally Reception and the food was good(: Ate quickly and packed the food and then got to Gen's house and ate lunch(:

And then we started work and Persa came! Between all our schedules like Gen's ces and Persa's fasting and her mother tongue in the morning she only managed to make it then. And then we pigged out on the food from reception and worked and worked and Gen discovered Persa and I both blast rock which makes us deaf when she came back after showering heh.

In between changing (I now have a pretty red hairband!) and rushing stuff I could memorise all the quotes and we were super late heh whoops. Maybe we should have printed out the quotes then we could include everything but writing makes it more personal...even if our handwriting all became pretty screwed haha.

Got there and walked through the GOH and walked in, and the decor was...simple, but really pretty(: And there was decor everywhere and the banner! Which they are going to give to us hehe and I think only we noticed that bit about it(: Harry Potter! School of IFC and Infantry!

Took photos and everybody but Gen and I was wearing a dress haha. Part C Jia Xing's house is really really nice omg. And then dinner! Decor was cool too and Part Cs' service is fast, and there was so much food and it was so good(: Huh seriously it was so good Part Cs can open a restaurant already...and the presentation was reminiscent of French dining(: (which just means it was presented very nicely lol.)

Ate alottt and then skits! Part As were cute, Part Bs were funny in a really cynical way, and Part Cs were amusing(:

And then presents! Dessert in between which was so good, chocolate fondue was so good! And hobo-ing in our ulu corner and Part Cs' funny toilet thing which platoonmates were very amused by. And then we sang We Are One and wow the lyrics are really apt(: Persa had to leave early): But it was good nonetheless she came out with a huge bag and it was quite intriguing. And then slowly everything progressed and then Part Cs brought us into the room and made us close our eyes and started putting everything on us and took photos with our eyes closed haha.

They all climbed on the bed behind us and then suddenly someone went 'Eh who's taking the photo ah?'

Haha after that was more presents and more chocolate and icecream! I love handmade gifts and thank you company and especially Part Cs! Unpacking everything when I got back was even crazier than unpacking when I came back from UK/France, the many many pillows take up half my bed and I have no idea where to keep everything! Like the pretty bin which I dropped all my sweets into and which Part Cs dumped glitter in, the Best NCO Award etc... So currently the stuff that I couldn't find a way to pack into pretty boxes is still strewn all over my floor heh. Already I had bags and bags of stuff that couldn't be carried by just one person.

Oh yeah Part Cs are very sweet and damn funny ahaha they were all damn funny that night! And damn dao during parade so that was good. Right anyway Gigi Cici Pipi(:

After 1 we were the last to leave and got back and sorted stuff out and slept like a log. Got up and my mum came pretty soon and then left and once I got home I ended up falling asleep with my pyramid pillow-.-

Haven't done much this week, what with Last Training and ORD. It hasn't properly sunk in that we've ORD-ed yet, at all. But somehow I think Traffic Light won't be emo, because we are generally happy people, at least this year, and Part Cs are happy people too(:

Dear Part Cs,

It has been a wonderful, amazing, fun year, and we are so very proud and happy. Stay together.

With much ♥,
Traffic Light a.k.a. Part C NCOs 2010

'There is no use trying, said Alice; one can't believe impossible things. I dare say you haven't had much practice, said the Queen. When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'
-Lewis Carroll

We Are One
-Lion King 2

As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand

And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned

But you'll see every day
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone

We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one

If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?

Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?

Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
Your journey has only begun

Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one

We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun

All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you need
You will find when you see
We are one

45 and moving forward

2010-08-09T22:56:00.003+08:00

Happy National Day! :D

I still think last year's parade was better but I'm biased, so.

Did you notice it's getting harder for our dear MM Lee to walk? :/

Watched the parade at home and smsed Gen, I hope you have free smses, my friend!

On another note, last night I posted somewhere else at 4.44am, and it was spontaneous and I felt like doing it so I did. Only by the time I was done it was 4.44am because I wrote more than 2k words and I didn't even review it.

44 always meant something to me, because it's considered unlucky in traditional Chinese stuff, but more so because I couldn't pronounce it properly as a kid.

No school tomorrow! I need to remember to do housework while my mum's still overseas though.

One day, I will learn to play the guitar.

reflective.

2010-08-09T02:34:00.005+08:00

This is nothing short of awesome. I realise I don't know alot of the songs there (Sex and Candy? Land Down Under? :/ ) but it's pretty good anyway. And although I get what Clar's saying about the homogeneity of pop songs, I still like mainstream stuff anyway. It also mentioned She Will Be Loved, which has been stuck in my head at random moments for a pretty long time now.

Adam Lambert's Time for Miracles and No Boundaries popped in randomly during my exams, which were so bad omg I screwed up everything except Bio, I think. Well I think I'll do alright for Chinese and hopefully History, but other than that I need a miracle for EOYs.

Outing on 7 August was fun, really fun(: We played rugby, which is something I've missed since last year, we ran around, we had a picnic with good food, and we flew kites! We spent alot of time attempting to fly the kite, but we did run out of string once(: So we flew and flew and then it dropped and we never managed to get it as high again.

After that was YOG Opening Ceremony rehearsal! Cos Part Cs have foresight haha. We recognised the flag party omgomg that part was pretty cool(: Persa had to go home and mug though, since her family's going to Malaysia :/ Gen and I left before it ended and we tried BK's ice-cream! Cos Raffles City lacks an ice-cream place): One day if we have nowhere else to go we could just go eat ice-cream somewhere(:

It was a really good day, anyway :D

My mum is currently in Bangkok, and I really need to do work but my mind is particularly active at this time of the night and I've read through my SS notes.

Oh well that just means more to mug tomorrow, I need to read through the powerpoint in addition to my plans. And then on Tuesday I'll sort through my Chem worksheets.

(Upon posting I realise the video screws up my profile and tagboard, so bear with it for awhile, k friends? Sorry for any inconvenience caused!)

I finished SS PT.

2010-08-01T20:12:00.002+08:00

MY LAST PT IN RGS IS OVERRRR :]

Zomg 4 more weeks!

Someone in my neighbourhood is karaoke-ing NDP songs really loudly.

...I'm nowhere near as patriotic as I was last year (being in the actual parade makes you amazingly patriotic), but still.

The singer isn't too bad, actually(:

With regards to academics...

2010-08-01T02:09:00.002+08:00

MUG MATH.

Math is the one thing that will never leave me, so I need to stop doing so badly for it.

I need to rekindle the love I had in primary school for math!!

I get why Maggie's doing math all the time.

Okay, tomorrow:
1) Finish SS PT
2) Deactivate facebook account
3) EOY mugging plans
4) MUG MATH

And perhaps attempt to restore some order to my room, because for some weird reason there's fluff everywhere.

Oh yeah, I need to pay Gen, Persa needs to go to D&T, and we need to talk to the Chem lab tech.

Stuff like that scares me.

2010-07-25T22:50:00.004+08:00

Dear friend,

Please tell me you're not taking drugs/smoking ganja.

(But you always meant what you said, and the implications of those statements freak me out.)

(I miss you.)

2010-07-25T19:00:00.000+08:00

Hi Gmail. Please stop dying on me omg it's super annoyingggg.

On another note, I love my new phone!(:

2010-07-21T23:49:00.003+08:00

Part Cs: 'HAPPY BREAST CANCER DAY, S'FOURS.'

Haha so funny they bought Teeqa's breast cancer pins! Which are very pretty and cute(:

YAYYYY PHOTOSHOPPED PHOTO LOOKS SO NICE :D (And it looks real too! Thanks to Gen(: )

Peilin loves snapping away with Gen's camera, why is everybody taking stalker photos today, and my teachers are all so stalkerrr haha!

413 was cool today we were half-Indian! Aarthi is super nice and damn amazing she brought so much clothes yesterday(:

I realise I like personal messages (the longer the better) and pretty wrapping paper(: I also like the very colourful plastic bag that Shawn bought, and the very pretty box that Part Cs gave is very useful!(: After I finished eating the eclairs and cleaned it.

Zomg Maggie just reminded me about something (not very important but of great meaning) I am going to do it now byebye.

2010-07-20T23:21:00.002+08:00

I think I'm screwed for ss pt. My proposal was honestly really really bad but I couldn't come up with a better one. And the damn thing is 30% omg. I think I need to talk to Mr Lee or something.

If jc stuff is super different from stuff here in rg then how are we supposed to choose! :/

On another note, Gen: 'JC GEOG ISN'T LIKE...JC GEOG! Eh...whoops.'

This is random but I like the national anthem at ndp(:

I think I'm going to look really weird tomorrow, and it's another long day):

Today I came home early and promptly fell asleep with my pyramid pillow haha.

I haven't blogged in 2 weeks

2010-07-20T00:16:00.002+08:00

Cos I went on a hiatus before Killer Exam Day.

1) Last monday, I decided to take History in JC. Mugging for both History and Geog made me realise that no matter what, I really cannot survive taking both. I'm no superhero.

2) FABREGAS<3 Mega outdated but I was quite happy that Spain won! Partly cos I was still annoyed at Netherlands, mostly cos Fabregas played and he played well and he helped with that goal(: I would have supported Spain if Fabregas had played but noooo he never played.

3) A lump of lead.

4) My classmates stalk Yanhan zomg it is very funny!!! Cos they were comparing her face with Maggie and I and they kept looking at her it was so obvious-.-

5) Hello everybody meet my 'other half'!-.- My classmates are epiccc and it's actually quite amusing haha.

6) After-school mugging with Maggie is productiveeee, we be formidable mugging buddies(:

7) FAM themes are interesting! Although we'll probably end up with the predictable one, but the rest present room for...creativity. I mean, why would you want a prom like everybody else's? The predictable one isn't that bad though, just...predictable. Lol.

8) I gained damn alot of weight zomgggg. And I am finally 1.6m!! :D 'You're turning into the girl you swore you'd never become'-hello shawn thank you for that, seriously. Reality check-at this point in time, I don't care all that much. Everyone says PE in RJ is xiong anyway, I can lose weight then. And apparently dieting makes you gain weight.

9) If you were to judge how healthy I were by my body clock, I'm probably unhealthier than most. My eating and sleeping times are really screwed up.

10) I suck at tennis):

11) I think it's pretty damn surreal that ORD is in less than a month))): 14 August 2010. Traffic Light we are efficient people! Zomg I haven't sent you guys the stuff we discussed today yet hehhhh.

12) History was wonderfully predictable thank you Mr Mizar, Chem was good thank god, Geog was horribleeeeeee it was so harddddd I might faillll): I wanted to apologise in advance to Mrs Yap today okay it was THAT BAD! And cos I mugged more for History and Chem, I didn't really mug properly for geog=screwed. My first question was crap, my lorms was screwed cos my structure was gone and I didn't mug properly so I just ended up throwing out points, and I had no time for the last question omgggg. Sigh but Killer Exam Day is over~ My geog sucks though why did I have to sacrifice Geog I better do damn well for the other two))):

13) Stuff to blog about: Finish trip posts, work and turning 16! All wordpress, I think.

14) Career keys was pretty enlightening, our trainer is rafflesian ttm!! Lunch with classmates and then ELDS! Which I thought was good and Deenie was wonderfully epic, I never knew she supported Liverpool and Torres ohnooo I'm such a bad seatmate): Had to leave halfway cos it dragged))):

15) NDPNDPNDP IT WAS AWESOMELY FUN. I MISS NDP09 LIKE CRAZY. I SAW LAST YEAR'S PARADE SERGEANT MAJOR AHHH! NEXT YEAR'S PARADE RSM WILL BE FEMALE OMG SO COOL. (She was reserve this year, means she'll be next year's.) Yup anyway it was super fun!!

I found it quite funny how I know all the commands (they changed one though) and NDP GOH AND COLOURS PARTY IS, AS ALWAYS, ABSOLUTE WIN. WIN. WIN. WIN. They use the same songs as always and their marching is always absolutely amazing to watch. I like the songssss heehee. I think last year's parade was better this year they come together and march and then they aren't perfectly aligned with each other :/ And I thought our marching was better last year and our marching in song was cooler haha we are oneeeee. And during National Anthem they open umbrella-.- thank goodness we didn't have to carry umbrellas last year heh.

I think the part where they hold placards to represent all the singers who weren't there is quite -.- cos they normally get the actual singers what!! I mean like don't they have to practice!! And must they say 'this is a simulation' for the pm/cabinet arriving etc., they never used to say it in the previous years): I think there were less performers this year? Dunno, but I preferred last year's one, it was a bit hard to tell what they were doing this year. I think last year was more coherent and it had more flow cos of the whole 'One Show' concept...and the random pledge moment at 8.22pm haha that was funnnn.

We saw Selina! And there was some random placard holder for Corrinne May))): Her song isn't meant to be sung by the masses, but it's a nice song! And she is so cool 8D

I miss NDP09!!! NDP2010 is fun but I think NDP09 is better :/ I mean of course I am the most biased person evaaaa but still, it wasn't just the parade which I thought was better. But of course it was good la I mean since when is NDP ever bad. I miss being a participant, I miss the atmosphere and the exhilaration and how everybody is always super high, I miss my contingent and trainers! But if I had the chance I wouldn't have participated this year...unless I had the same contingent and the same trainers.

It was really fun anywayyyy and if you're reading this you should know that I am not objective at all, at least while writing this. Heh. I like fireworks and the aerial displays and mobile column is cool, albeit long. Yay fireworks(: And Dr Ng Eng Hen seems cool, and really nice(:

Come together! This year it's all red and white and...the patriotism came off as a little propaganda? Last year it wasn't emphasized as strongly. (And last year I was patriotic ttm heh.)

16) I am olddd now. The law doesn't protect me as much so I must be more careful, as somebody told me. Think I should attempt healthy living now that I have reached a landmark age?

Okay I am off to read my thick stacks of notes why do we have so much notes to read urgh. Jianbao can go die.

Pressure

2010-07-05T21:54:00.003+08:00

FATSSSS.

Until I turn 16 I will starve and mug and mug and starve. Because I really need to mug, and because I bought a super nice drink from Coffee Bean today that happened to cost $7 and hence I need to save money. And because my face is horribly round and I could do with losing some weight.

Today I saw the appeal of studying at Starbucks/Coffee Bean!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YANHAN! :D I think I typed this at least 3 times already but ohwelllllll.

Today my mood was hopelessly bad but it has since improved and I have new motivation to mug, at least until Killer Exam Day :D

Dear Brazil,

2010-07-03T01:14:00.002+08:00

Please win the World Cup in 2014 when you're hosting it. That'd be cool and you'd break the current record, set by yourself.

Please also go unbeaten during that time because you have loads of supporters cheering you on, including Edith, Gen, Steph, and I.

Don't kick into your own goal. What a horrible goal you made, Melo.

Go for 2014!

---------------------------

On another note, I'm not going to follow World Cup anymore psh. Now I hope Spain wins though.
.......damn I was really hoping for a Brazil-Argentina final, that'd have been really cool.

Netherlands you will not get far (okay quarter-finals quite far already, and now they're through to semis): that was Brazil's spot! Then they would have beaten Ghana/Uruguay and went to the final game!): ). Because...uh, because...karma will come back to haunt you!

---------------------------

I only had one lesson today! If not for Chem PT (sec 3 Chem PT was due today too o_O) I would have ponned and gotten Bio stuff from someone. Slacked around and was the first in the level to hand up Chem PT during first block (Mr Lee not in school), spent 1h sleeping in the library (paris hoodie so comfy!) during second block (freeeeeee block) while Miru slept in her jacket beside me, Maggie mugged and Grace read.

Recess, Assembly, slacked around and attempted to sleep somemore during math (Mrs Ang didn't come cos she was busy with ringers) but felt like a pig for sleeping so much and class was too noisy anyway. Passed Melia the Navy News to read and I read NCC Newsletter and Army News HAHA. Jolynn saw me reading and mentioned the brothers thing haha.

Inkspiration arrived so we read that until Dr Chiam came, Bio ended after the bell. It was raining like mad, dropped by the room to drop off stuff and then went to the foyer. Met Yanhan, whose trip to Sungei Buloh got postponed cos the rain was only supposed to stop at 4 :/

ShirlynElaineMaggieJinghui came down and then we went for lunch! Shir and Jingonut got AACK umbrellas from JaslynEtinneRachael! Went to Far East and started talking about school trips haha fun stuff! And then we went home and I crashed for a couple of hours.

Only Mala and Mook left, FIFTEEN! :DDD Chalet is gonna be awesomeeee.

But for now I need to mug and do SS PT, omg I have no idea what to do why is a proposal so hard.

CHEM PT IS OVER :D

Heh crossing it off my planner felt damn good.

I think the way I blog is pointless and random and crappy and sometimes I wonder if anyone reads it at all. Then people tell me it's interesting.
