I suddenly feel this urge to update this super dead blog... I guess I should.

This week has been more or less, a massive clear out of everything, my shelf, my drawers, I'm targetting my closet next so I can go buy more clothes actually =D. It's ironic how I've been seeing the same old things for so many years, for so many times when I've set my mind to do some clearing up, wondering whether I should keep them, or just let go and throw them away, but I've always seemed to feel a twang of reluctance, only to stuff it back in my drawer, or try to dump it in some box so it's out of sight, but I always have the comfort to know it's still there when I need it. Some kind of weird insecurity perhaps, that I'm letting go of something I really need.

But this year, was somehow different, I even started earlier. Maybe it's because this year is the start of so many new chapters, new classes, new subject combinations that I realised it's time to let go of the old, and embrace the new. I've dug up many cute little notebooks with caricatures on it, all pretty and everything, but unused. I can't help but wonder what possessed me to beg my father for one dollar so I can buy those little books from the school bookshop, and store them away like some treasure for five years, only to find that I've outgrown them. Even so, I find I don't have the heart to throw them away, I'm intending to give them to my niece, who is totally kawaiiii!!! Hopefully, she'll have some use for it.

I've bought my new textbooks, well most of them anyway, and seeing them lined up neatly on the shelf for once in a whole year seems rather refreshing. But clearing away all the dust has been making me sneeze for quite awhile... I seem to be allergic to dust, I always become sick afterwards.

Well next year would be an interesting one... yet rather sad, some of my besties like eliz., mich and shuning would definitely be in different classes because they're taking triple sciences, but hopefully we promise to go shopping more often, or we have SMP to do together (chem olympiad with eliz =P). I'm ecstatic that I got into 314, and the best of luck to charissa, sandra and iffy (I HOPE WE'D BE CLASSMATES NEXT YEAR ^^)

Ok, moving on to more light-hearted matters... Jiachee and I went to school to prepare for the VVIP visit, we were conned into thinking that it would take one hour, but it ended up ending to like 3, and we started at NINE (JIACHEE WAS LATE) -.-. We're in charge of this weird chongkak station, and we even have to memorise stuff in both english and chinese about the games like gasing and sepak takraw (I'm dying), of course we're keeping our fingers crossed that the VVIP doesn't come in and bug us (We plan to look very inconspicuous). Sitting in the Malay style for so long also seems to bend my leg out of shape so I can only hobble out to greet the VVIPs as they leave =.=

One conclusion I made was that JIACHEE ABSOLUTELY CANNOT PLAY CHONGKAK!!!!! She kept dropping the marble in my Rumah and then she missed her own Rumah, or forgot where she ended... then we have to restart all over again. But when we actually found out how to play properly... SHE BEAT MEEE!!!!!! Toot.

I better go back to memorising now... I'm quite screwed at this point and it's already half past midnight. God help me.

A day as a coolie =)

This blog has once again been sent into a state of decay... but since melissa asked me to post and i have nothing better to do (since crappy EOYS were over), i shall post!

Today i brought my PSP to school, and hilary and elizabeth and i were playing like this game together... like pressing different controls which made things totally un-synchronized. =.= But it was funny, and hilary and i kept squabbling over who gets the credit for killing the bad guy (in the game). Figure out how bored we were =)

These two days were really quite fun, we had class lunch, like almost thirty of us, together. Dominating the bus was a really cute sight, we went in and caused a commotion, and alighted and the bus became so calm and graceful. Today, we went to coro, which wasn't the BEST idea because there were definitely not enough seats. So we ate like coolies, like quite unglam, da bao-ed and set on the staircase.... we took up like almost 3/4s of the whole length of the staircase (but we left room for passers-by lah). The auntie didn't mind, i mean she has no reason to anyway... she earned like 60 bucks from us?

While walking back to school cos the gate was closed... hilary and I started singing SNSD's into the new world... actually she was the only one singing. HAHAHAHA and we were turning in to nanyang and we saw this car turn out... but into oncoming traffic ie. she turned the WRONG direction, and there was like angry horns from the oncoming car, and i almost got a heart attack. The funny thing is that elizabeth and i immediately wondered whether it was a female driver (I'm sorry... it's just like instinctive reaction).

Anyway... blah blah blah happened and i was on the way home on the bus and there was this REALLY CUTE LITTLE BOYYYYY.... haha and his grandma was carrying him... and he was sitting in front of me and he kept standing up and like waving to me.. SOOOOO CUTEEEEE, but then midway he started to yell "bobobobobo" which i have no idea why... and he was becoming louder than my ipod. 0.o BUT CUTE NONETHELESS!!!

I managed to bathe my dog today... such an accomplishment, she seriously looked glad that she was getting a bath. I told shichun she stank like a cow's backside and she started laughing like crazy.... very funny meh!!!!! IT'S SERIOUSLY TRUEEEE. At least she's clean now... i hope she didn't step in her own pee again... DX

Where to start

Well, this week has been totally, complicated and ya, i don't quite know when to start. So i guess i should do this more or less chronologically.

Monday, went flying past rather quickly, except for my chem olympiad test. I think i did ok, i hope so, i finished like unusually quickly though, and that worries me a little. On tuesday, i had CCA, and, it was absolutely exhausting, and jinhui really did more than she should have, to which i am utterly grateful. But i felt rather annoyed during cca over something... so i went to vent some on my frustrations on shiaowei, lols. (Thanks shiaowei =D. Luckily msn keeps hanging on you, or i'd bug you alot more =D) My palm somehow became swollen and painful, i guess i applied too much strength =S.

Wednesday, we had our subject combi talk. And i was copying notes on the math and science programme, when i saw that 85% is needed, i stopped, cancel everything i wrote, and just sat there. I didn't even bother to copy BSP and CLEP, i'm like a hopeless cause. Third lang was ultimately Zzzz, thank god i didn't get my controle trois, or i think i'd just kill myself. Grrr

And here comes my breaking point, thursday i got my LA results, and i seriously just BAWLED MY EYES OUT. I was so disappointed manz, LA seemed to be the only thing i was good at, and it was crumbling before me. My hopes of going to HP just evaporated. Elizabeth was really nice, she tried to comfort me but i was really depressed. Michelle bought chocolate almond pocky for me to eat, cos i didn't feel like eating, and starved myself crying in class. THANKS MICHELLE (but i couldn't accept >.<). Haiz, that's my life, when i have a goal, i just start sinking from all that extra weight from stress. I am pathetic.

Today. Hm, SPA was fine i guess, more or less. We had the subject combi talk. I do have a chance in HP, i hope i do. I really want it. I intend to take history. Haiz, one's dreams, never seem to materialise, do they?

Should i go back to KHS, or mope at home. =S

On a sidenote, i'm sad i can't go for guides elections. I told Jin hui, and she said she will be less paiseh without me there. And she went on to say she cannot blah blah blah. But, i will be there in spirit =D, GO JINHUI GO! ohoh, GO SHIAOWEI GO...
You know what, just jiayou all sec 3s =D

chopsticks

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

ring...ring...ARGH RING

Stupid IRRITATING fire alarms... my ears are still ringing... GRRRRR. Today is the ONLY thursday in the history of ALL thursdays that i have white space, a period for absolutely nothing cos i didn't have IVP, and in my mind i was going like "sweeeettt", only to be interrupted by an incessant, shrill blast of ear drum vibrating noise during math class. To my defense, i WAS trying to do a math problem and not only thinking about white space... =D.

And together with the fire alarm came the cheers of joy from other classes while people like eliz , kailin and me were going "crap" in our heads. Lemme represent this with a simple EQUATION.

Fire Alarm = False Alarm = Fire drill = No recess/ lunch/ white space = Gone is the only good thing in the whole day = Wide spread devastation!!!!

But luckily, it wasn't planned and there was no smoking cauldron lurking anywhere (the stuff the teachers use to recreate a "fire") SO WHITE SPACE ENSUED!! Sadly, ms teng assigned this CD WS that almost MURDERED us all. It was really confusing and most of the time... we just assumed that this two lines are equal, two triangles are congruent and blah de blah de blah. Not helping, was the fire alarm, who realized a deep hatred for all of us, and kept erupting in short sharp bursts of ringing, which not only scared the hell out of me but also severed my train of thought. =.= ,my mum said the fire alarm had H1N1 >.<

Otherwise, the rest of the day passed by rather swiftly. Mdm Oehlers had MC for LA and Drama so we did a worksheet and discussion during LA. During Drama however, we had to join Mr. Ng's class, and half the time we were being segregated as "people with no rights" and were just sent to do discussions on some new assignment. But the lesson was made interesting when xinyi kept scrambling for the exercise ball and trying to make Mr. Ng throw it at her so she could catch it and hug/ sit on it. =.= And after a while, people just ended up playing "concentration" and catching with the big exercise ball. -.-

Then school ended AND I MANAGED TO FINISH THE CD WS, LIT CIRCLE AND MOST OF MY FRENCH HOMEWORK!!! Except for a french dialogue that i'm doing now... but getting distracted by blogging... Oh noozzz. I wonder how long such productivity will last, probably not very =S.

Had piano tonight and my family and i had a real scrummy seafood dinner with sambal calimari rings(or sotong if you want to put it simply), grilled stingray, oyster omelette and fish soup!! I GOT SO STUFFED! Piano was a great nightmare after i realized what i had to do in grade 7 theory. IT SCARED THE HECK OUT TA ME!!! No wonder people stop at grade 5. HMMMMMMM.

a refresher

I finally took the time and effort to fix up this blog properly and try to work out all the kinks!!! I FEEL SO DARN PROUD OF MYSELF. I mean, this blog was a mess really... all the links were extremely outdated, so was everything else. I have been hunting for blogskins for quite a while, and like xinyi, my "fateful" reader and "great stalker if bored" said that she saw my blogskin change thrice in a matter of 5 minutes... i am a fickle fickle fickle being tsk tsk tsk.

I WANT TO THANK MY JIE, who helped me put the blogskin HEHE cos its a school night and all =D. I like this skin even though its really simple. BUT ITS PINK!!! So now i have a fresh start and i am once again "motivated" to update my blog on a regular basis. This week has been manageable so far and rather productive for me, i tried not to slack off and procrastinate, even though the fact that i'm blogging right now says otherwise >.<.

Anyway, this blogskin is really streamline and minimalistic so you might notice there are ABSOLUTELY no links at all when you first see my blog. Well, erm, its been this way all the while but you have to click on my user info which is at the header, and you scroll down until you see my Bio which is grey and pink? It contains all the links i have so far compiled, its not really complete as i've some how lost track of many people... with how lazy i've been and all. So if you want me to link you, just tag and write your link at the tagboard, which also has a link at the character bio!

I'm over-complicating things...aren't I? It's really much simpler than i make it out to be =D. So do tag and stuff =D. Oops... is midnight, should probably head to bed soon or i'd be groggy and grumpy tomorrow morning and whoever in is in my firing range will be SOoooo DEAD. LOL

Nite!

First week of DOOMSDOM

Well well well, the first week of school has finally passed. FINALLY, i have to admit though, it has been quite slack, with no ccas and science olympiad because of H1N1 and all (only benefits as of late), although i have been sleeping really rather late, i have been doing some little bits and pieces, R & J and blahhh... lame games and tv, you know... the life of someone being locked at home cos of H1N1, totally uneventful.

On monday we had our first chemistry lesson for sec 2. Our teacher was Mrs. Siew... She's VERY nice and i think elizabeth is in love with chem now... she keeps screaming about her love for chem and is contemplating being a chemist (even though she does not know what the job entails, i know, cos she asked =.=). I'm still adamant on being a lawyer... MUAHAHAHAHAHAH, i'd sue your arm and your leg off =D. But i didn't have my chem olympiad, so i dunno what the new teacher is like cos Mr. Kuo's gone =(.

Tuesday was blehh-ish and not really worth a mention. I had 3rd lang on wednesday... Zzzzzz it wasn't cancelled =.= and audrey had LOA for choir so she abandoned me!!!! And we relocated to another classroom that's on the first floor and THERE IS NO AIR CON!!! I don't know how i managed to stay awake for 3 hours... AND I BOMBED MY TEST... as usual, not much of a surprise actually. Grrrr

And today we were supposed to have chinese dance class... but the teacher didn't come and we didn't know. So in the end, we were sitting outside the dance studio playing heart attack, wacking each other with plastic bags of t-shirts (Stupid elizabeth started it >.<) and trying to convince ourselves that we were taller than the other (FUTILE LOR... I AM DAMN SHORT SIA) So after waiting for like 20 minutes like a bunch of fools, we just went to the library and i saw my senior.... and erm... awkwardness ensued. AS USUAL, THIS WAS ALL ELIZ'S FAULT COS SHE DRAGGED ME IN THERE. I feel like i have alot to blame on her these days... i wonder why.

God, the weather is freaking hot and i keep getting killer migraines. FEEL LIKE BANGING AGAINST A WALL REPEATEDLY (happened before french, was actually contemplating on skipping, but i am very GUAI so i went =.=) I crave ice cream... hmmmmmmm. But i had a huge dinner of crab soup with noodles YUMMY. Shall go dig up some fruits instead =D

Lazy Dog

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. =.=

Shopping!!!

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
