to tie up the loose ends of the knot;

Ignore my previous post if you can. It stinks of disappointment. Blame it on PMS.><
The National Day parade this year was colourful, vibrant - like usual. The stage seemed too big for the performers though. And they made many interesting remixes for the songs too =D
And there was this float item, whereby there were a few people standing on some platform and they were really great dancers.
I can tie my hair now although there are many loose strands. Oh well, I shall be patient.
I must really try to lose weight. I feel fat. And it's not like what I told Jessie the other day. No, it's not PMS. I don't think so.
Just the thought of PBL makes me weep. Flash hates me. In fact, I guess all my group members got so fed-up with me coz I just can't win the war against those stupid buttons and webpage thingies. I'm not being a very good PBL leader. I submitted my PBL CD to Mr Tan two days before he asked the rest to hand in. I had to run after him as Mr Tan didn't hear me. I could finally see an end to the days whereby I have to bring the CD back home and to school again.
Common tests...maybe the analogy of toilet water isn't right. On the other hand, you don't see the importance of toilet water in your everyday life. But without it, you wouldn't be able to live properly. You dislike it and no way there's gonna be a day you wish to touch it. However, you need it. Just like tests : You dread coming into contact with them but it's necessary for the MOE to see if your intelligence is still the usual and if you've been studying properly. Makes sense, no?
I still remember my toothpaste-mass run theory too.

This is my 300th post.
For 9th August, I wish Singapore a Happy Peaceful Birthday.
This year's National day celebration in school wasn't as wild as last year. In fact, I think it was quite...uhm, stagnant and boring. It was strange idea for choir to lead the school in the community singing since we wouldn't be able to hear ourselves when the school is so hyper over shouting out the songs. There were a few girls sitting in front of us when we went up to sing. Apparently, they were irritated and did not like us having such simple actions to accompany the song. Being at the side for most performances, I was always near the audience, but never had I experienced how it feels like to be openly insulted and jeered at. I don't think they meant any harm, but what they said kind of affected those standing in front singing I guess. Things like being asked to do different actions instead of our 'stupid, boring' actions for the songs were thrown at us. Fortunately, there were only a few of them who were doing that. From where I was standing, I could see that our class was dead. I know you guys all to well. =]
I somehow feel that those standing on the other side of the stage were luckier. The people on the other side didn't say any discouraging words - in fact, they followed them. To me, the performance were only meant for those sitting at the back - there were a few nice sporting people at the back smiling and kind of encouraged us. Of course, I DO have a BIGBIGBIGBIGBIG heart. That's why I didn't mind the 'suggestions' of changing our actions for our songs. After all, I don't think they actually meant to hurt anyone's feelings.
The large space below is just me vending out my pent-up feelings. Do note that I didn't intend to offend anyone. I did not add in names and this frustration was partially due to the fact that National day was too near common tests which means that I won't get to enjoy a nice holiday. Hence the grumblings. Nothing was meant by this post. Please bear that in mind.
I was also disappointed when they cancelled some of our songs. But that's another matter I suppose.
Other than that, the celebration was just...normal. It's not like last year, whereby we can run around and feel the school spirit. In fact, there were many rules implemented this year.
Anyway, I should be concentrating on Common tests now. Ta

I think I should trim my hair soon. Just to trim the sides since they keep dropping down.
I felt like a banana today. I asked Cassy to buy three bigger size blouses from Queensway for me since she lives just opposite the place. Yes, the blouses are BIG =D And the new material is thinner than the old version. Unfortunately, it's really yellow - just like how we were in Secondary 1. And to think I called Deborah's blouse "a bright banana yellow" when she bought her new blouse last term. This must be retribution in a mild form. Oh well, I shall soak my blouses in detergent till they are as pale as my other blouses =]

I kind of wish that I didn't need to perform for National Day celebration so that I can take part in my class fun stuff. Just like last year. This is the first time band, angklung and choir need to take part in this celebration. But that's not for me to say, I guess.
My mum got me 'Wink Up' magazine - the August edition!!! =DDD If you have seen the magazine then you should know why I'm so interested in it.
But I have no time to read 'The Host", "Breaking Dawn", stare at the magazine or even watch "L: Change the WorLd" till common tests are over. D: I need patience and these shall be my motivations.
Another thing to cause me to dwell in despair: Chinese oral is just next Friday. What Chinese oral practices have we done in class with the teacher? NONE. That's enough to throw me down the well of doom. I shall now try to converse fluently in my mother tongue. And read Mandarin newspapers.

From eight to four

I was really hyper this morning. Celebration was fantastic!
I finally wore my light-grey skirt after like, eight months? Anyway, it was FUN today! During assembly today, I sang some parts of the songs only - to irritate Si Hui =]]] and it worked!! While they were doing the National Day speech, Ching Han tried to press her knuckle against my spine 0_0. Like a masseur.
And again, Keller didn't win...Sob. Cassy was so "unenthu". Saw Amelia, Jolin and Janeen. Oh yeah, the egg tarts were great, it's just that Si Hui doesn't know how to appreciate them xD
I love the singing parts!!! During the finale, Cassy, Andro, Si Hui and I linked with Anna and others started to join in. Then like the rest of the classes, we started forming our own circle while swaying =]] Tess Y is a great singing accompaniment, she's enthu and doesn't mind singing off =] Tessa Y and I were not singing at all - we were shouting and the whole class was singing way off. Si Hui wasnt even singing -__=, couldnt hear her. How united and unique we are =]]
Went to Taka with Liz, Jimin, Si Hui, Geraldine, Cassy, Pearlyn, Harriet. Eight of us wandered about after lunch. Then we decided to go Kino. Just that Lyn's boyfriend [which she changes often - poor boys] wanted to meet at Chinatown Point. So Harriet, Din, Liz wanted to go with her too. The rest of us didn't want to. Can't be bothered to go all the way to Chinatown [which I dislike] just to see a guy called Shaun. Then Jimin and I made a beeline for the stationery section in Kino =]] Their stuff is cool but damn expensive... a small pretty notebook costs $14!
As usual, Cassy and Yippy got all gaga over the manga. Most of Kino's books are in Japanese but their English books are really great =]
Four of us then went to Plaza Singapura as still haven't gotten Zingy anything. Then, we went to More than Words and saw this cute toy sitting on the toilet bowl and decided to get that for her. The guy then asked if we wanted to pay 30 cents for the gift to be wrapped. I agreed as I'm hopeless at wrapping. Since he looked like a gangster [ but his tattoo was cool! ], we were thinking that this guy would do a bad job. He proved us WRONG. HE HAS AWESOME WRAPPING SKILLS!!! I was standing there, almost gaping at him while he was wrapping it. 师父!!!~ In fact, if I wasn't there, I wouldn't have believed that he was the one who wrapped it!
went to McDonald's then.
And Pam, don't worry, you will be missed sorely by everyone =) Watched Simpsons with Din and Pam yesterday at Great World city. The movie was funny but sick - as Liz said before we went.
Only Din can squeeze into that =]]
PS: Yippy, you don't have to take revenge for me whacking your back - coz you already did by STRANGLING ME while having your arm over my shoulder. I thought it was Tess Y but at last you admit to your crime! And hello-oo? I'm actually feminine...it's just that I'm not that feminine =] AND what's so weird about me wearing a skirt with a handbag??
