Just came back from Malacca yesterday, and it feels good to breathe Singapore air again, even if there isn't any difference at all, it's good to be home. I was so exhausted yesterday, after having to deal with the donut with alot of cuckoonut (elizabeth) and the fruit tart (xinyi) and the cream puff (michelle) on the 4 hour ride home. You can probably figure out how free and bored we were to come up with these names... eliz especially loves hers, she grins whenever i call her a donut =.= I couldn't keep my eyes open past dinner, and today when I woke up at 11.30, i felt like sleeping one hour later, I was so drained... I spent almost 100 ringgit out of the 200 plus i brought in Malacca... and my dad seems to be happy with my money management so wheeeeee, elizabeth on the other hand, was desperately trying to spend ALL her 300 ringgit. TOOT.

This post will be spammed with a substantial amount of lame pics, so do brace yourselves.

On our first long bus ride... elizabeth and I were so damn bored, we started thinking pics of all the similar things we have... which is alot:

Same type of bags: Crumpler

Same type of sweets =)

SAME CAMERA!!!

On the first day, we went to mini malaysia, where we visited the different kind of houses from the different states. I think the highlight was climbing the tricky staircases, if they qualify as staircases, their just basically really steep and high wooden beams with little systematic depressions for steps. There aren't any handles, and i hardly find the bamboo floor a nice comfy soft spot to land if you slip -,-. But it was fun when you survived, shuning who has a fear of heights didn't want to try, so she helped me hold my bag while i did =). And she was holding her little lollipop (which she made on the bus), she brought it everywhere for the three days, and i mean EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME, even the toilet, she even spoke into it, cos apparenlt SHINEE used it or something, and she recreated it >.< It looks like this: All the teachers were staring at it XD

My shoe started falling apart on the first day-.- which absolutely SUCKED!!! DONUT suggested i just rip the soles off of both shoes, and i just gave her the evil eye. The next suggestion was even greater, use bubble gum as glue=.= and i said something like I would be walking with a long trail of ants behind me.

Sleeping in the hotel on the first day didn't go so well... IT WAS SO FREAKING COLD, and i missed my bed and bolster =( Phone refused to work too, had to borrow kahmin's phone, I still have to pay her =( Slept at like 12 plus... and stupid alarm didn't work so I woke up at 6.20, to be called by eliz and michelle in the room next door saying "wakey wakey", in that creepy falsetto voice.

Went for a Buffet Breakfast, was amazed at how much others could eat and stay so thin (like 2 omelettes, porridge, cornflakes)... I had an omelette, and erm apple juice that's it lalala, I usually hate eating breakfast.

I tried to learn how to play the trumpet there... rather unsuccessfully though -.- I could only play half a scale properly, the other half sounded really pfffttt bad.

We went to see some sea/ lake thingum that i have no recollection what it was... just that i took pics of some cute boats


And on our way back to the bus... We saw these really cute kittens! Some boys saw me taking pictures of them, and must have been starved of attention cos they picked the cats up and posed for me. So to spite them, i didn't take their faces MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ok, i'm evil lalalala. CUTE KITTIES THOUGH!


The last day was rather uneventful, did some batik painting, and i'm quite happy with mine. Went to see some kampongs and saw kampong chicken and chicks!!! Lotsa cats roaming about, and i think maybe their poop everywhere? Serene was following me gingerly to ensure she didn't step on any... toot -,- and we saw a rice field and we were scaring michelle, saying that we saw some frogs.

I'm lazy to type more so bye!

Chopsticks....yes... that's EXACTLY what i feel like at this moment. A pair of wooden chopsticks that have been forcefully pulled apart =S. I had dance today you see, and i'm like a wooden block, i am totally INFLEXIBLE, and it's been so long since we had a dance class... one year back so i'm all tensed up and, unstretchable. We did those split thingies, the kind where you sit face to face with your partner and you try to make each other split more. That was a really sticky situation... I pulled kahmin too hard and she was wincing in pain, and then she was pulling ME too hard and it was MY turn to scream -,-.

To make matters worse, we had to those kicks, those weird back kicks, front kicks, side kicks and hold our legs on the last count... DUNNO HOW TO EXPLAIN LAH, just that chen li li purposely count DAMN slowly while our legs are hanging unnaturally in the air, and some of us ended up just giving up and dropping our legs. I DIDN'T HA!!!!, i FEEL ACCOMPLISHED! But in all other ways, i still suck at dance. =.= And when the announcement to take temperature came, we were in awkward positions with our leg suspended, and we were like, how to take??!?!! Stick the thermometer in our mouths while we were lying down on our sides, legs in the air??!!?!!? But luckily no, we actually took our temperatures the NORMAL way.

Then some visitors came to see us do this tap dance thingum, and we just like learnt briefly FIVE MINUTES before and they were snapping  their cameras away... so malu, i hope there are no "candid" shots of me >.< After that, there was a mad rush to get to the science lab to make soap... which sounded REALLY cool. But it entailed like dunno how long of stirring the mixture until my hand want to drop off. LUCKILY GOT LEARN PIANO, so arm's a little stronger due to all those really long periods of octaves... Then melissa stir like stirring coffee like that, totally TAI TAI, then i told her, she say I am the tai tai =.=. I ended up stirring for her for like 15 minutes cos hers wasn't thickening and i was getting super frustrated just looking at her do it -.-. Haiz haiz haiz.

But i got some soap on my hands, and the soap was like oily, so what's the point! And it smells weird... i don't like it, I made mine out of palm oil and it smells like uncooked soya beans, got that weird stench i hate. =.= I had to leave it in class for grading though, so i didn't bring it home, not that i'd dare to use it anyway.

I am soooo sleepy, waiting for my sister to finish blogging so we can go sleep. I SO NICE WAIT FOR HER =D. This is bad.... my ankle hurts too =S

Just posting some random pics of my overweight, mid-life crisis, act cute and glutton of a dog. THESE ARE NEW~~~THEY WERE TAKEN TODAY!!! I was playing piano ya... so i had to remove the books from the piano chair, and apparently, she found it incredibly comfortable and she did this:
 
I didn't know dogs could get tired of books too =D. She was feeling reallllly drowsy today, i guess she's getting old =(.

Today, i went for piano class and my teacher made me use hand sanitizer before i touched anything... I guess this H151 thing is really getting serious. So serious... THAT THEY HAVE CANCELLED SANA COURSE AND THINKING OF CANCELLING GUIDES CARNIVAL. Is it evil for me to feel relieved... I really am nothing but a couch potato that likes to stay at home. =D

Besides... THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!!! Even though we all hope that that is not going to materialise and we have another 7 days of JOY AND FUN, before being oppressed under 10kg bags of homework and blah =.=. Singaporean kids have no childhood whatsoever. Sometimes i wish i was the dog: you sleep, you eat, you drink and you act cute, what's not to love!

But in between all those channel news asia polls and facebook petitions on declaring another week holiday... I hate to be the bearer of bad news but i quote from the channel news asia site:

SINGAPORE: Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan has said schools will re-open and the Asian Youth Games and National Day celebrations will carry on.

And in your head, you're probably going "DAMN DAMN DAMN", as i did too =S

Then there's another side of the coin :

Singapore has confirmed another 16 new cases (127th to 142nd cases) of Influenza A (H1N1-2009), comprising seven local cases and nine cases with travel history. This brings the total number of confirmed cases in Singapore to 142.

They will probably only declare an extended holiday on the last day (sunday) anyway... SO KEEP PRAYING PEEPS! In the meantime, can't they cancel IVP seminar already??? I mean NUS has 3 cases and if the school is closed for the week (as jiachee said cos there is one confirmed case supposedly), HOW ARE WE EVEN GOING TO GET IN SCHOOL TO WAIT FOR THE BUS TO GO TO NUS??? This makes absolutely no sense. =.=
 

Ahhh... that word is music to my very ears...

I have once again neglected my blog... oops... show u how utterly BORING and UNEVENTFUL my holidays have been, but u know me, i like staying at home and sleeping, alot alot alot. AND OMG... My dad is like winking and clucking at my dog haha (seems wrong somehow and my dad is saying, why am i flirting with a 63 year old dog, before yawning and watching the news)... so cute and my dog doesn't know how to respond but wags her tail gleefully, again (she always kowtows to my dad)... BIAS ASS.

Randomness... Anyway, my homework is getting cleared off rather productively... i suppose but i still have a bit here and there to do blah and trhat DREADFUL chinese essay. Geez... But i'm working towards that... hopefully. On the other hand, I FINISHED R&J HAHAHAH,it took me 3 days of late night reading with my sis, but i'm done, i'm glad i read it the second time, at least it makes sense now =D.

And my dog's playing dead!!! AWWWWWWW, but I AM SO ANGRY AT HER, I STEPPED ON HER POO!!!! YES I DID! She snuck into my parents' bedroomand pooped on the rug and i unknowingly stepped on a piece of BLAH and i thought it was a ball at first until i saw the REST of her presents... =.= It's bad enough she peed on me before but this?????? THIS IS AS BAD.

Anyway... back to my favourite topic, i went out with my sis and her friends today. We went to watch a movie (Ghosts of girlfriends past), which is quite funny. I WANT TO WATCH THE PROPOSAL, IT LOOKS NICE. Bleh. Anyway, the movie is a little crude in a little SMALL way, but isn't american comedy always like that? Then we went to eat at Shokudu, which is quite nice but rather ex. My sister and i shared stuff i had some fried calamari pasta with jap curry and she had jap wanton pasta (the wanton is like wanton noodles that kind lor, dun see what's jap about it =.=, but when i KINDLY pointed this out to my sis, she hit me!!! 好人没好报)

Then we had one small teeny weeny bowl of pumpkin soup, which tasted all milk and sugar to me, since i hate pumpkin and all... BUT BUT BUT, the cheese cake was gooooood. It was like really soft and it resembled tofu (It looked gross at first, especially the way it jiggled *shudders*) But it was super rich and i liked the fruity sauce... LOL

After, we went to shop and stuff and i picked out these REALLY CUTE pill earrings for my sis... and it was like ninety cents only?? But i dun have ear holes, so i couldn't wear any anyway =.=, i'm scared of THE PAIN. Then we went Taka and after that, i had to go and collect the guides certs and badges.

That's not even the end yet, we went to Daiso at plaza Singapura, although i didn't buy much cos i realized how much junk i was already harbouring within my midst. >< Then that was my limit manz... my feet hurt like hell cos i wore flats which had NO PADDING, and the bus was super crowded =.= I felt like i was being tossed about in a can of sardines, all smushed up and...erm...gross. =.=

Gosh, i've been VERY NAGGY today, haven't i =.=. Such a long post.
I shall go in the hunt of some kiwi fruits... TATA 

Oh yes, i said it, i got BRONZE for napfa, like yet again for the dunno what year in a row, stupid standing broad jump and other crap. ARGH, but i gotta say i am pleased that i PASSED and do not have to redo everything in july, not to mention have training sessions during the holidays, like this is totally 火上加油。

And i am abso-positively dead, exhausted, worn out. In short, i am dragging myself about the house like a decaying and decomposing zombie minus the ten rolls or toilet paper =.=. I dun think it was the 5 stations that wore me out, i think it was the last minute 100 standing broad jumps that i did in an effort to pass that did it.

Because of that, i screwed up everything that needed stomach muscles, especially sit-ups, i have never done that badly before =.=. But what the heck, a BRONZE is a BRONZE, and its not really as if i could have done much better, considering i would have screwed up my SBJ anyway. =P 

Whatever though, no one is good in everything, and the opposite goes as well, for in theory, noone can suck at everything...right... RIGHT??? At this moment, i am suddenly dealt with a tinge of uncertainty =(

The rest were not worth mentioning so let's skipppydiskip. Remember when i was talking about getting scalded by the solder iron in my last post? Well, i must have jinxed it because xinyi scalded her finger today >.< Poor thing, it has GOTTA hurt. I have managed to exit the class unscathed and i would greatly appreciate it if i could complete my sabbaticals in one piece with no injuries or scars, AT ALL PERIOD. At this moment, i'm touching wood!

As you can see, i am making a great effort to post as much as i can and frankly... i shouldn't really be doing so, especially because of the FRENCH ORAL TOMORROW, which i have yet to study for. Damnation =.=. But i shall just take this as a teeny weeny break considering how EXHAUSTED I AM. I am still a strong believer that ignorance is bliss.

Almost everything i dread i have gotten over with... except for the talentime on friday which i have an inkling i will totally bomb and screw up. I guess it'll be really funny but the joke would be on me. =.= Oh well. And where the hell are the literature mentorship programme results... I WANT TO KNOW. It was supposed to be out last thursday, teachers know not the meaning of a deadline YET WE ALWAYS GET RIDICULOUS ONES. I guess they have not crawled into our skins and walked around in them! =D

Oh god... I feel lame, shall watch THE NANNY on youtube. I love old shows, they're so lame and ridiculous!

I HAVE EYEBAGS.... AHH, i never get eyebags!!! =.= crappy... proposals, tests, homework are the culprits!!! But next week is sabbatical week, and i got BASIC ELECTRONICS, which is basically PHYSICS, which was like my last choice -.-, is this like retribution for getting 3/10 for my second physics quiz??????? And the worst is, it lasts for ONE WHOLE WEEK, someone shoot me. =(

Anyway, today we had outdoor cooking for guides. And the theme was "go green" so we made sticks of fruits (that were green, like duh) and coated them with toffee sauce that we made ourself! The first bad thing that happened was that we had a can, without a can opener! =.= , so i used the knife and vented all my anger by stabbing the thing, jinhui was milder and used a fork!

The second thing that didn't go so well was that the butter BURNT... so it didn't look so pretty, but it actually tasted rather yummy! We prepared like alot, but they all got eaten up!!! But we still didn't win anything though, not that i'm sad/surprised but ya.
AND THE TOFFEE WAS SO HARD TO WASH AFTER IT HARDENED!!!! I broke a nail and chipped a few others just trying to scrape it off the pot and the plates=.=, nevermind... the holidays are coming and i shall go UTTERLY CRAZY WITH NAIL POLISH... yay.

Oh wait... i have like a thousand and one courses...not to mention cca duties like FOA, Open house, World's scholars cup... DANG. =.=, There's no chance to be vain..., but the homework load seems rather mild as of yet... and i hope it remains that way =D.

My results have been ok, i'm quite satisdied =D. I got A1 for most subjects except CHINESE. But oh well, like that's much of a shock =.=. I GOT B3 grrrrrrr. Ooohhhh, my math i barely scraped through... i got 77, so close to A2 but i'm contented, my math has always been like bleh anyway.  French paper was much easier than term 1's, but i'm still going to bomb it anyway =.=, better not get my hopes up! Anyway, its not counted in my msg anymore so i shall not feel so...so anxious.

tralala
ttyl

Well, i am back. You gotta guess how boring the day has been from the fact that i'm posting, again, within 24 hours. Let me relate my routine today:

Rolled around in bed, coughed here, coughed there
Woke up like eleven-ish
Washed up
Dog was smelling my foot
Sat on couch
Read newspapers
Watched TV
Dog tries to amuse me and knocks her head hard on the coffee table

Which brings me to my point, why is she so incredibly stupid? I mean, i was telling her to be careful cos she like hit her head so many times already. But nooooo, she wants to be mdm hyper and jumps up and KONK her head against that solid wood table. And she did the exact same thing yesterday!!! Then she just looked at me with those awfully cute puppy eyes like it didn't hurt at all! I mean OUCH, geez.

I have this theory, she started out rather smart or really, adequate. Then, came the subsequent run ins with the law (my dad), a few knocks on the head or the head on collision with the refrigerator or the bump in with the coffee table. Every knock on the head just konked out one braincell at a time, until voila!!! We have hallie circa 56 dog years, gullible and abit slow, awfully hyper, a little too pudgy, but we love her nonetheless =D

BUT, that little @##$%#$^$^, freaking gave me some brown PRESENTS in the balcony, ie. poop. In the morning, i had to bend down and contain my puke to pick it up, to which she greeted me with an innocent wagging of the tale. She may be dumb, but she sure is sneaky! She then proceeded to wander off and ignore me. Little @##$^#$%@$!#!

And where the heck is she now!!!!!
