I haven't said why I like the GazettE's Cassis. The lyrics are so touching - people have speculated that they were written by Ruki since he always writes sad lyrics. Anyway, Uruha and Aoi are really awesome on the guitars. Especially Uruha! He seriously is a pro. Okay, enough of that. I don't compare Alice Nine. to The GazettE though. They are two very different bands with different looks and songs.

Btw, here are the pictures of the class outing - all are taken from Sihui's camera. Paveta, Geraldine, Pamela and Phoebe got off at the wrong stop so we needed to wait for them at the Beach Station. It was quite funny when we saw them as we passed them on the train.We caused Tessa to wait for one hour at the beach - Sorry Tessa! And we walked and walked and walked to the beach under the sun. Everyone dumped their bags under a random tree and I stood guard. Was quite boring coz I couldn't play with the rest of the people. It began to rain shortly after and everyone, somehow, when the comm were busy, went over the bridge to the other side. Deb and Jessie took a long time to bring them back. Had to run in the rain to bring umbrellas too. AND, thanks for NOTHING, Tessa and I had to shift everyone's belongings so that they do not get wet. Although it was under the small shade, it was still wet so we had to shift the food and push everything in. How great of you guys to just leave like that and cause us to worry about you all. The ultimate was when some people played in the water when there was a high tide. We have SPECIFICALLY said that NO ONE is allowed near the water. The rule was useless anyway, coz people went there after the rain too. Got fed up with my wet and sandy shoes so I bought a pair of slippers. Tessa and I decided after a while to let everyone go coz we cant play anything [ the sand was wet ]. Took the bus to the station with the others and then to Vivo. Andro, Sihui, Me, and Deb on the monorail.

We went to Toys 'R' Us. Deborah being very extra in this picture.

Me with the witch hat, Deb with that silly wig, hazel with an orange pumpkin on her head=]

This morning, my mum tried to catch this huge cockroach in the hall. We ended up throwing the whole bin coz neither of us dared to overturn the bin - the cockroach was inside.

Repeatedly as always, I only caused you grief
as always I must have even hurt you too.
I remain unable to move
Why does your touch pain me so?

Surely it's because I was afraid of repeating history and losing you
We wiped away unforgettable days by nestling close together
You held my hand without any questions

Even if your feelings grow distant tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
Even I pass from your heart tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
I will walk together, the future not promised
It keeps walking together, to future in which you are ...

Along with the painful things -
almost to the point of forgetting -
I'm thinking of you

The more I count the nights on which we don't meet,
Anxiety grows in my chest
Collecting different types of loneliness; please don't cry alone

No matter how far apart we are, let's go on believing in each other
I want to remain smiling like this somehow
Without hurting you

Those emotions that had faded away with time,
I don't want to feel them again
Even if your feelings grow distant tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged
Even I pass from your heart tomorrow
Surely my love will remain unchanged

Please, have eyes only for me
Please, don't let go of my hand
I will walk together, the future not promised
It keeps walking together, to future in which you are...

I wonder if they sell alice nine's albums in Singapore. They rock. Seriously, I lovelovelove them.
Freaked out just now when I realized that we'd forgotten all about the food for tomorrow's outing. Gah. This is seriously the first time in my whole life I'm wishing that it will not rain the next day. Usually, I will wish that it will rain at least once in certain times in the day. I'm not making sense. I know.
I want hello, dear numbers 2006 dvd!!!
Lol, most probably they don't sell it here. Anyway, listened to Alice Nine and Abingdon Boys School this afternoon. =]] My mum thought that Alice Nine is a female singer as they have the name 'Alice' in their name. Hahas. Oh well, I have to go now. Bye. Gonna search for chicken rice stalls.

Thank you Sihui and Cassy for giving me such wonderful presents. I almost forgot that my birthday is next month if not for you two. Time really flies. Anna asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said a Porsche =]] Hahas. Still about two more weeks to my aging of one year I guess. Cassy gave Anna and me similar bears =]] they are so cute! And Sihui, thanks for the album! =]]]]
Mr Tan treated everyone to pizzas during lunch yesterday. Anna claimed that one of them was salmon pizza...it sure didn't look like it...even Ziyu was quite doubtful. But it was nice. Spend the rest of the time in the library and read one whole book in there. Ziyu lost her handphone while she was in the library and we went back inside to search the library for the phone. In the end, we went to the GO and reported it. Mr Tan was also there and he told Ziyu that she was really fantastic that she had lost her handphone just like that. Lol, it was a bit unbelievable but I think it slipped out of her pocket [ that's the trouble with slim phones ]. Anyway, luckily some kind souls came into the GO a few minutes before us and gave the phone to the lady there so Ziyu got her phone back immediately. Lucky her =]
Choir didn't start till four plus coz there were people using the seminar room. So all of us just sat outside the room in the arts con. and talked. It was really funny and the sec2s told us some, really things about Mr Goh and other teachers. Lotsa people also took out their decks of cards to play and Mr Tay commented that Anna's cards were lousy 0_0
Sang Mid-Winter and Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho again. Juniper told me the story behind the song while practising. Then sang Las Amarillas after that. It was quite fun. No time to post more now. Ta.

I wish 陈老师 all the best although it is sad that she will be resigning. Anyway, hope the next chinese teacher will be as good though I doubt so.
Will have to wait for about three hours tomorrow for CCAs to start again. It's seriously a long wait and we can't do much =/
My mum bought me this coffee-coloured bag for me =] there are lots of pockets. Don't really have much time to post much. Feel like it's meaningless to go to school if we can't do anything and teachers don't come to class at all.

I've started listening to Alice Nine. I don't really like Yami ni Chiru Sakura but the rest are good.
In fact, they are great. They have two guitars and one bass. And Shou has good vocals - in my opinion of course. Okay, I really like this band...
I can't imagine that Sihui thinks that Gackt looks good as Genesis. Hahas, not my type I guess. Well, there's nothing much to post about coz my life is really stagnant. Hopefully, the new principal will be as good. Although I've only known Mrs Lee for only one year, she is a really great principal. The Sec3s chairpersons were crying after giving her the flowers.
I'm the only one in the class who listens to visual kei bands. The only ones that even listen to japanese music only listen to anime opening and ending songs - which are quite boring to me after a while. I prefer jrock...and of course, English rock songs =] the genre pop is also welcomed. C'mon people, visual kei ain't that freaky - except for those like Dir En Grey and D'espair rays.
Sometimes I feel that there's nothing in common to talk about to my friends coz I'm that different. Hahas, yes, I'm unique =]]]
This song is really fantastic : Blue Planet by alice nine

After such a long time, choir finally started again. Got a new piece today - Joshua fit for battle o' Jericho or something like that. The last part is real high - for me at least...
Ms Tham was whispering to us throughout the whole thing coz she lost her voice. I think.
The MRT is really crowded during peak periods. Which includes evenings. I couldnt even see which station I was at due to the many TALL people surrounding me. Imagine how short I felt with a caucasian and other tall people standing around me, totally blocking my view. Thank God for ears.

We did literally nothing in school today. Just wasted away in the classroom. The only thing that I'd accomplished today was the planning of the outing. We managed to assign the roles [ though most were left even more confused after that ] and decide on the food. We still have the back-up plan to deal with though. I'm starting to love the weather. Gloomy days are my favourite times...when the sun is missing and the grey clouds are abundant.
I wonder if they sell BIS's Believe in Style album in Singapore. Really wish to have it...anyway, I've just included this section of the albums that I want =]] It's redundant actually.

How do those ladies go shopping for the whole day. I went shopping with my mum as my mum wanted to buy some shoes and clothes. The guy at the shop must have hated me to the core. While my mum was trying the shoes, she kept asking me which is nice. I just sat there and told her if it was awful or awesome. Anyway, that guy promoted this pair of shoes and my mum was also thinking of buying it. But, I said, " It's ugly as hell." I think the guy wanted to kill me just then. Anyway, with the help of the femle assistant, my mum bought three pairs of heels.
We then went to Vivo. My mum bought a vanilla coronet for me and tirimisu for her from Beard Papa's. With the notion of buying her clothes, we went to G2000 to take a look. The thing was, in the end, I got my heart broken. That's coz, my mum didn't buy anything but I got this dress [ my first dress after five years ] which set me back by $60 when I'm already so broke. I didn't think of checking the price again...Saw the price wrongly.
We walked around after that but didn't buy any clothes as my mum can't find anything that she wants - I had to drag her from the shoes section. Oh, and I finally know where is the Make-A-Bear Workshop!! It was so cute! But expensive. And my mum is really one of a kind. After coming out of the shop, I was gushing about how cute the bears were and my mum just uttered one sentence,

"Did you see the guy making the bear? He is very good-looking you know."

Yes, that was what she said. Sheesh. Went to Starbucks and drank green tea latte which is really good. I grew sleepy after that coz caffiene makes me sleepy somehow. My mum dragged me and we watched the fashion show for a while and headed home. Honestly, I can't stand shopping for the whole day, it was so tiring. But it was okay for yesterday. Went to the market just now and bought a bag for just $10 =]] That's really cheap.

I don't understand any part of the wayang show. Although i did not fall asleep - unlike Pearlyn, Harriet, Dao Xin, Verity and Tessa Sim, I couldn't get what they were doing. All I knew was that each time they jump on the carpet thing, more dust would fly about. Pearlyn kept make snide remarks about their performance and couldn't keep quiet till I asked Harriet if there was a roll of masking tape available. No offence Pearlyn =]]
The fire drill was weird. After the fire alarm came on, no one did anything till maybe 5 seconds later and all started screaming and running outside. Anyway, the whole thing ran smoothly.
Fell asleep sometime later during the talks. Was so tired. The motivation talk was rather interesting though. Topics such as the Law of Attraction which I'd already read about were covered. To me, everything depends on what you believe in. Where do you put your faith in. Somehow, if it does come true, those who do not believe in it will just dismiss it as superstition whereas those who do will feel that their trust is rewarded. It is not a matter of whether it works, but if your faith is in it in the very first place.

Tohoshinki is good. I must say that they are great dancers - their timing [ in the MV ] was perfect! Most of their songs are quite long though. Jejung doesn't look really great with bleached hair. But their dancing is really good.
Thanks to Sihui, the shirt designs are ready to be sent for printing. The thing is that some aren't satisfied with the words chosen for the front of the shirt coz it's too boring. I can see that it may need till next year before we get the shirts done.
I somewhat miss my previous hairstyle...it was so much nicer. If only I hadn't listened to that lady. I'm praying that my hair will grow faster and I can have the style back [ although Yimin says I look like a rock star ]. I want my fringe and tails!!!
I wonder just when are we gonna get our TPCs. It's taking a long time - bet we will only get it in the middle of 2008.
I'm feeling reluctant to return to school tomorrow. If only we can choose not to go back. I'm not looking forward to waking up at 5 again and rushing to catch the train. Kya~ why must it be only two days???

I'm posting after a hiatus. FYE is finally over and everyone is in their own happy bubble now.
As the paper ended quite late today, I met my mum for lunch. I got an album from the Popular there - this boyband Tohoshinki. My mum saw their album and asked if I knew them. Anyway, I wanted their album in the beginning of the year so yeah. It's nice =]
I've taken up drawing again. Yes, I did do three minor pieces in July but had to stop due to studies and the lack of free time. I'm now drawing a girl in manga-style. Hope it turns out nice. I'd stopped coz I was upset with my lack of skill and wanted to give it up. But in the end, the urge to draw overcame that decision. It was also due to encouragement given by a few people including my mum. Those who knew me in Primary five had thought I would join Art club in Secondary school. Don't want to though, as the teacher totally cramps my whole style. It's just that I will miss the skills that they will be teaching. I guess what Ms Wong [ my art mentor ] told me while she was still giving me lessons is true - that art can never end. Wonder how is she now. Unfortunately, she's not teaching at the yamaha / crestar centre anymore. Too bad I stopped midway.
Anyway, the class outing to West coast had to be cancelled as there's construction going on there. It wasn't an ideal venue in the first place.
Almost died while shouting this morning. Came to school with a bad sore throat and still had to shout to announce stuff to the class. I'm feeling better now though.
Well, shall return to drawing now. Ta.

Okay, I'm blogging just coz I finally have time to do so and that I'm sick of Sihui who's been bugging me to blog.
Nothing to post about. Except that the class went overboard today. Respect is not what everyone feels that is the basic criteria of being well-mannered. Anyway, I got pissed off today. Won't post about it coz it's just, well, depressing.
Well, I got full marks for my math. This shows that graphs are somehow my forte - well, at least better than inequalities. Hopefully, I will be able to ace my maths - yeah, I know that it's a well-known fact that I'm no good with numbers - I'm crossing my fingers. Algebra and angles are not much of a problem...I love graphs. But I heard that Sec2 graphs are really tough - so shan't decide to fast. Anyway, I'm hoping that most of the questions will be on linear graphs and histograms.
I feel wrecked. Ten more days. And three more days to doom. How apt.

I'm really lucky that there was no mass run today. Had forgotten to bring my house shirt to school to change into...
There were so many surveys to do today - you could hear the collective groans from our class when Mr Choy annouced, "There is one more survey..."
Hopefully, we can send the shirt for printing earlier. I know I'm being very naggy but just tell me what word you want coz it's taking a long time. And also, if you guys are going overseas or have performances during the holidays, just tell the comm coz the chalet thing is COMPULSORY for all [ it's class-bonding ]. I'm thinking downtown east =]]
On a lighter note, I really wonder when I will stop embarrassing myself at least once everday. I was tired so fell asleep while on my way home. Then this guy who was next to me also fell asleep. The mortifying thing was that when the train stop, both our heads clashed together -___=" It's not my fault. I think. Anyway, he said sorry and to make sure our heads won't clash again, he leaned on his other side to put his head on his girlfriend/wife's head. They were in their mid-twenties. My mum laughed when she heard this and this was all she remarked,

"Too bad it wasn't a good-looking student."

Oh yeah, fell down during PE again. We were asked to run in the field. The place which I hate the most after it rains. Anyway, while everyone was running, you could hear the squelching of the MUD. Yimin also chose that time to scare me by saying that there was this red WORM in the SOIL. I did a great back slide while running to the base - the mud was slippery and I just slid down and hurt my butt plus my lower back coz I had no balance.
Talking about worms...it reminds me of something else which only someone as retarded as sihui will love : REPTILES. I walked with her to the station today and we saw this gecko/lizard reptile thing in the grass outside the condo. I was talking then and stopped to scream mid-way. It was running and Sihui was gushing about how "cute" the creature was while I was busy freaking out. She said I screamed three times altogether when the thing was scampering on the pathway. Reminds me of the time whereby I walked one big loop coz there was a toad right smack in the middle of the pavement near the grass patch outside the school. Wildlife ain't suitable for me.
Btw, these videos are funny. I know sihui, you love akanashi jin. Thanks to me, for introducing you to this boyband =]] Ueda's better fyi.
These are funny :

I find it ludicrous that Ms Vicky could forget to inform us about the mass lecture yesterday.
Only about fifteen people from our class attended it yesterday. Since there were five of us and we needed to fit in a few more details for our History project, we got Andro to take down notes for us while the four of us did the History project right at the back of the auditorium. We did manange to finish the entire thing though. The thing was that Andro, Sihui and I only went home at between four to five -Cassy had to go home earlier and Deb had council meeting.
The Lit debate was fun. Cassy looked quite feral while rebutting ^^"
Went out with my mum today. I'd wanted to wear my white heels but couldn't find them anywhere so decided to wear my brown pumps instead. You know, except for my sports shoes and sandals, all my other shoes give me blisters - especially heels. My black court shoes [which cost more than $100] are the only comfortable heels actually but that is to be worn with my choir gown I guess. Anyway, yes, my brown pumps gave me blisters too. And I've discovered how difficult it is to run for the bus while wearing pumps.
My mum rented yet another series of comics for me \(=^.^=)/
The only thing I absolutely dislike today was that we needed to buy groceries. I dislike shopping for groceries...it's so cumbersome... Oh yeah, I made another agar-agar this evening and it tasted GREAT. My mum can testify to that. Sorry to those who tried my agar-agar after practical coz I know that was a failure. I added too much powder, that's why. So I'm actually able to make delicious agar-agar, it's just that you were too unlucky to eat the batch I made on Monday, sorry. I didn't know it was that horrible till Sihui told me. Can make it up to you if you want. I can make another for you ^^

Please check the class tee/annoucement blog
- I've just updated it.

I'm having a bad sore throat. Wonder why I get sick so easily 0_0
Unfortunately, there was free period today, so had to try to control the class. Wasn't much of a help coz couldn't shout properly. Lol.
My mum gave me some herbal medicine to drink just now. It looked like sewage water and tasted much more bitter than bitter gourd. It's quite amazing that I'm still alive.
Mr Goh was unusually pleasant to us today. After burdening us with even more homework, he said something about cherishing those around you and stuff like that. He further added on that he will try his best not to scold us even if we don't complete our homework as his doctor asked him not to coz he has high blood pressure. 0__0
Sihui was having laughing fits today. All because of an innocent blunder I had made. It started yesterday when I actually was emphasizing on the spelling of "lucky". As I had other things on my mind at that time, I spelt it "L-U-LL-E". I think i may have some memory problem...coz I forgot what word I was spelling halfway and almost spelt out my thoughts at that time - which wasn't even relevant to what we were talking about. Sheesh. Ah well. Sihui couldn't stop laughing after that.
Well, there's the chinese test tmr...ta. For those who hasn't voted for the shirt design, please do so by 11pm tonight. All voting will cease then.

Just so you know, this is gonna be a long post. Here goes:

Labels: Crez chorale, School Days

Although I was dead beat today, choir was fun=]
Warmed up by running three rounds around the Parade Square and singing 'Twinkle Stars' with our legs stretched 45 degrees. It was really painful singing while feeling like your abdomen's gonna snap.
Coz we couldn't use the Arts Con. and the band was too noisy for us to sing at the mini forum, plus there isn't a piano in the MPR, we just stayed in the MPR and did some bonding. Revised a bit of Las Amarillas and the walk-in concert song. Then, came the best part [coz Ariel also couldn't find the right pitch without the pitch fork] all of us, gathered in a small circle in the room and some told us ghost stories. Some are real life experience and Kumitra said a poem that is like a curse, if you go down the steps saying it, it will determine your death and if you say it to the end, you will uhm, vanish? 0_0
Anyway, Laura and Kalyn came in just then and they thought Ariel was teaching us to mediate!
Tried our gowns after that. It was so awkward... Couldn't go to the toilet, so Kalyn helped me change to my gown.
Lunch was spent at Esso. Joey and I offered to shelter Zhuo Min and Claudia and four of us were wet. I was the one who was completely drenched. But I was consoled when I saw how wet Charlene was later [she ran from the bus stop to school without an umbrella].
The next hour of lunch was used in the studio room opposite. Yi Bin's piano playing is really great =]]
Warmed up our voices with 'Hark the Bell is Ringing' while walking in time [keeping the same beat]. Mr Tay then ran through the repertoire for the concert.
My section sabotaged the Sop2s today, just ask Ziyu =]] HAHAHAH. Sop1s rock the most anyway. Mr Tay kept scolding us about our section not being focused and decided to scold Sop2s too coz yes, they are Sops =]]]] And that for 'Mighty Wonder' , which we learnt today, they are singing the same parts.
All because of Juniper! Kept making Kalyn and me laugh while singing, that's why all of us got the wrong notes and the wrong bars.
Oh yeah, during sectionals, Juniper kept fooling about with her rendition of the intro of 'Mighty Wonder' that we were laughing more than singing. Anyway, Yi Bin and Juniper played the piano wrongly so we also got lost - Juniper said that's coz she has already retired [she'd got her diploma]. That's why Teryne called Mr Tay our 'savior' when he appeared in the room to help us after the Altos in the next room. Finished the whole song faster than the Altos as Mr Tay taught us some effective vocal techniques and our parts were easier. Though some parts were insanely high.
So when Mr Tay was still going through with Altos, Juniper decided to do some "Break-bone dancing" which failed MISERABLY. =] Kalyn and I were laughing our heads off. Kalyn, Teryne and Li Xin tried another step and it was all very funny.
When we were singing the whole piece of 'Mighty Wonder' Juniper exaggerated the singing and caused me to laugh again...Kalyn and Teryne also laughed and yup, everything went downhill once more. But we managed to do it quite beautifully the last time =]]

I owe you all an apology.
I'm sorry guys, that I'd shouted at you all in the hall today. Although you guys were in the wrong to leave the classroom with trash and took for granted that people will clean up for you, I shouldn't have shouted at you guys. I was just so pissed off that you guys just left without a backward glance and in the end, I had to ask poor Ziyu, Anna, Evange and Hanru to help me carry all the councillors bags and clean up the classroom. As we didn't have enough hands to carry the fruits left, we just left it inside. Which was why I was so angry. Coz there were some irresponsible people who just left their fruits inside to rot over the term break. In the end, Yvonne, who was really kind, helped Tessa Sim and me to clear up the mess when we ran back again. My shirt was soaked with perspiration in the end though =// But I must thank Yvonne and Ziyu's group for helping me.
But anw, that's not the point, the thing is that I shouldn't have just yelled. So, yup, I'm really sorry.
But please know that, no matter how much I shout at you guys, I do love each and every one of you 1C1-ers very much still =]
On a lighter note,
Teachers' Day celebration and Mass dance was fun. I like 4S3's class tee...it's so creative =]
And again, Keller didn't win anything =/ Oh well. Cassy and I were squashed by bony Yimin while watching the people dancing in the Parade Square on the second level. And Krystal really brought a LOT of durian...no one could finish it. Overall, it was quite a fun day - but it was really tiring running around and clearing trash bags...and the screaming =]
Crescent's the best ever.
Waited with Sihui at Tiong for her mum. Sorry Sihui, for falling asleep accidentally on the train.
After that, went back to SHPS and saw some of my ex-classmates. Later walked to TM and wandered about alone since the others wanted to watch a movie which I'm gonna watch with my mum already. Turned out that Sihui was also at TM after visiting her own school. Both of us then walked around and went to Comics Connections since Sihui wanted to LOOK at comics. Then while she was reading some BOOK, I tried to think up of suitable designs for class tee. My designs were ugly though =/

Woke up at three this morning and fell into an uneasy sleep again at four and up at five. I was so tired...almost wanted to drop dead. Anyway, I was busy trying to coerce people into volunteering to give the sunflowers. Many didn't want to though. Ms Ho and Miss Pham are the hot favourite - almost everyone wanted them.
I managed to pass the note to five teachers during recess. Had to run all the way after Mr Samat coz he couldn't hear me. In the end, I was perspiring when I got back.
Walked home with Cassy, Andro and Sihui after lunch. They were talking about some comics stuff which had something to do with Cassy's birthday. I intend to buy her something unrelated to comics of any sort though =]

ATTENTION
People, I need ten more volunteers!!
Those who are interested in handing the sunflowers to our teachers this coming Friday, please tell me. These are the teachers that are still so-called "free" to send your sunflowers to:
Mr Ho

Mr Chan

Mrs Khan { Home Econs teacher for 21-40 }

Miss Teo { Home Econs teacher for 1-20 }

Mr Samat
- he's retiring, so this will be a chance to show your appreciation personally

Mr Choy

Mr Siow

Miss Shervon

Mrs Ow

Mr Teo


Ask me for more information. You are allowed to pair up with someone else to give the sunflowers and all will be paid using the class funds.
PS: It will be with accordance to the 'first come, first served' basis.

I'm starting to like choir more with each practice.
We got a new score - Let It Shine. I sang it in kindergarden!! It's such a catchy song =]]
Unfortunately, the Mezzos or Sop2s got the melody part >=[ Only Ziyu got to sing the melody...
I had to sing my own section's parts which were the most tedious to sing especially the daaba daa parts. I was really tired yesterday and wasn't really concentrating on the song so sang the wrong note more than three times =((
Was dead tired that once I sat down in the MRT, I immediately dozed off.
I'd actually intended to make good my promise to Xinyi that I would run mass run with her. That was about...I think it was last month. I remembered yesterday and both of us then decided to run together. In the end, I lost her right at the beginning. Soon, I ran past the sec2s. Went to the toilet after mass run to tidy my hair which was standing up and saw Jimin, Clare and Verity when I went to the class. Went back with Deb after school yesterday as Sihui wasn't taking the MRT. And you know, Deb has this amazing ability that enables her not to knock into stuff or get knocked by stuff while reading. I understand how she is addicted to Twilight though. I read that book five times coz it was such an addictive book. New Moon isn't as great...And Eclipse is yet another side of looking at things and more about the questions in their relationship, fears and feelings than ever. Btw, Seth fell for a two-year old [I think that's his name]
My heart aches. UVERworld albums cost $72 individually and as they need to import it from Japan, additional $15 for each album. Sob...Love Shaka Beach Laka Laka La. Sorry guys, but most likely, the next song I will be using would be by UVERworld too. But maybe will use Yellowcard or some other song.

Labels: Crez chorale, School Days

We didn't have mass run today. Instead, we had something else: Mass Dance.
Of course I can't dance with my colourful knees so I just wasted my time there. At the beginning, I had to rush to the toilet as Sihui slipped while getting up. As she was helping me to get up [I can't really stand up on my own], I also fell, splitting my wounds for the third time this week. As it isn't the first time, the bleeding was a teeny bit more than before and it hurt like hell.
The mass dance was somewhat boring.
The rest of the day proceeded on with a great deal of monotony...
Oh yeah, just after the completion of the PBL stuff, we got yet another project. This time, it's a collaboration between the IT department and the Science department. We will be studying water. Ms Shervon grouped us according to where we live, such as: East, West, North, South and Central. Only three belong to the East group - Pam, Jo and me. As Jo didn't come today, so Pam and I had to decide everything and we took less than a minute to decide the leader. See, we are so peace-loving compared to other groups which took such a long time to elect a leader as they have quite a huge number. The biggest group was the ones living in the West.
Felt so dead and numb today.

I hope to change the blogskin soon - this skin's too plain already.
I've disappointed my mum again. Anyway, there's no point in lamenting now.

How can you miss someone so badly and yet have no wish to meet for fear of rejection?

My mum bought for me 'eclipse', the third book of the 'twilight' series. Just that it's hardcover - the paperback isn't out yet =]]]
The thing now is, my mum's the one that's reading it now, so uhm, I can't read T__T
Today, Cassy and Livia entrusted to me the task of submitting the disc to Ms Shervon for PBL. Went with those who haven't presented. In fact, I think I was the only one whose group who has done the presentation already. Everyone waited for 45min as Ms Shervon is as late as ever. She went for her lunch which took a longlonglong time meaning many had to miss or have a late lunch in order to wait for her. I was really hungry as I'd only two chocolate cookies and one miserable pocky strawberry biscuit stick [courtesy of Sihui]. Finally wanting to go to the canteen, Sihui and I came across Ms Shervon at the corridor outside the Maya [sp?] lab. Alas, she was talking to this guy for so long that both of us just stood there waiting while they blatantly ignored us. So, Sihui and I then proceeded to draw stuff using our fingers on the windows that were full of condensation ^^ It was real funny.
After a google light years, we submitted our CDs and went down for lunch. Sihui's bag strap broke this morning btw. So, I came up with this "Bright Idea" that involved her carrying her bag in front of her like carrying a baby gorilla [her bag's black]. Anyway, it was quite funny and she said something [can't remember now] that made me laugh. Unfortunately, I choked on my kueh while doing so and couldn't really regain my composure after that. I was laughing so badly even while choking coz it was really impossible to stop. In the end, I think my face got all red like it does when I laugh too hard. We talked about lotsa redundant stuff on our way to the station. Saw Tes y. and the canoeists on our way out =]
Oh yeah, I saw this guy who look like he was 'cosplaying' Spidey. Sihui heard me remarking on that and she laughed non-top this time. It then came to a point that we both started giggling. She had to point out that she looked pregnant with her bag and all in the MRT. I then asked,

"How many months?"
Sihui,"Three."
"What's the gender? Wait, more importantly, Who's the father???"
Sihui:laughing too hard to answer.

It was hilarious. Oh yeah, Deb and Pam fought over me while walking home yesterday. I initially wanted to go home alone since they wanted to go to cheers. Then Deb, pushed me onto the road and since there was this car coming towards me, I had to run across and I ended up in cheers. I know Deb, you can't bear to leave me xD Kidding. I walked home with Sihui, Pam and Deb then.
When we were waiting on the platform, they fought over me though I can't remember the reason. Gosh, my memory is really failing me.
During free period today, sat at Deb's place. She's so kind ^^ Xinyi also allowed me to sit at her place when she's not there as my place is a SAUNA.
Welcome to the tropical isle : back of the classroom.

My wounds feel like they are being burnt by some searing heat.
Still ran mass run today, despite Pam and Sihui who were nagging and persuading me not to run just coz of my injuries. True, my injuries are quite serious, but, I STILL WANNA RUN. Make-up mass runs are awful...no one to talk or run with. It did hurt like hell when I tried to run this morning though, so I was limping while running - don't ask me how's that possible.
Oh yeah, my mum suggested for me to go for an X-ray this morning as my ribs still hurt [ there are dark bruises]. 0__0 That's scary...What if I fractured something? Anyway, it is only a bruise.
During assmebly, a man gave a talk about the history of America - in Chinese. Pam and I couldn't understand what he was talking about. I only caught the words, “美国的厉史” or something like that.
Sihui and I sorta doodled onto the whiteboard during free period =] It was a relatively boring day. Fell asleep on the MRT and almost missed my stop...had to rush out before the train went on to Pasir Ris...

Labels: School Days

PE was quite fun today. We did dribbling and the usual stuff. Just that our opponents were outright desperadoes! Verity went around hugging people from our team just to prevent them from scoring, therefore, we started calling them 'lesbians' =]]
Oh yeah, I did a huge accomplishment today, I managed to actually cut the chicken which was so bloody with a blunt knife [though it took me 15min to cut the whole piece] and scrubbed the rice cooker really clean!!! I mean, I cleaned the rice cooker before and I know how to cook most of the stuff that the teacher is teaching us right now. But, I never cleaned the rice cooker after cooking fried, sticky rice. Whatever you call it.
I spent the whole time scrubbing desperately at the pot -______= Of course, unlike other tables, my lovely partner just stood there and told me not to waste too much effort in scrubbing since in the end, it's still the same. AHEM, it is not. Well, at least the victory is mine, not Zingy's.
Of course, blur sotong me forgot to take back my cloth from the cookery room. By then, it was already Math, so I had to explain to Mr Goh and ran all the way. Sadly, I tripped over the sides of the pavement while running on the path cutting past the Rotunda, to the other block.
I didn't hit my face. Meaning my specs weren't affected. =]]] Coz the last time I fell forward [which wasn't too long ago, actually], my specs were hit and were twisted. That's why contact lens are much easier...just that I've got no time for them T__T
Oh yeah, thank you Geraldine, for sparing Zingy and me a plastic bag and giving me four tissues which were all stained later with my blood. And Sihui for accompanying me to the G.O to get some iodine. I couldn't get the bandages coz the lady said we should "air" my wounds and there were too many wounds. I have five btw...so, not wanting to contribute to global warming, we must not waste the bandages on them =]
Btw, iodine stinks like hell. Really.

Alright, I underlined those names that are sadly, not in bold. It's not that I'm biased, just that, if I have to bold someone's name, it disrupts the whole pattern and so, shall underline =]
The advantage of having this hairstyle is that you get to style your hair with lotsa cream. I made mine real spiky - though had to flatten it coz I looked real weird. I wanted it much shorter but the lady was saying, "Girls should look like girls! I HATE those that cut their hair so short that they look like guys! Seriously! They should learn to be feminine! Why are we called female if..."
0__________0 So that's why I have tails at the back. To look feminine. Not like some of the seniors that look exactly like boys. I ever looked like a boy anyway =] That was in Primary one. It was such a long time ago. An auntie ever called me "ah BOY" once at the playground. I was really disturbed, thus started the meijun's campaign for having long hair to look like her real gender at last. I was still a tomboy then...=]]]
You know, if it doesn't rain on Monday, the whole school can see my hair onstage during assembly. Think a paperbag helps?

Happy Birthday to Xinyi [Whom I like to call Zingy] , who always suffer from my awful culinary skills - especially the time I forgot to switch on the stove and the time when we both forgot to add salt or any sauce. Anyway, this is only if she comes to my blog, that is.

I went to central [TM and Century Square] in the evening.
After dinner, my mum and I went to Sembawang as promised =] Bought Corrinne May's beautiful seed as I fell in love with the album when I heard it playing in Gramophone while at Taka. Also, we bought Crowded House's Time On Earth and Yellowcard's Paper Walls which rocks big time. I was the one who relentlessly persuaded my mum to buy Yellowcard since their songs are great. Also got an instrumental CD to add to my collection : Deep Sky Divers. All rule big time!! Paul [the shop assistant] is so cool and every time we go there, he would help me persuade my mum to buy all the CDs I like. Too bad they don't have UVERworld.
I planned to cut my hair but didn't wanna go to Mechanics though I used to frequent there or Shunji Matuo's Icon as I absolutely can't stand Jeanie who made my hair a total disaster. Instead, went to this salon near my house which costs only $8 for a haircut!!! Cheap right??? Usually, a haircut at Shunji Matsuo is about $32 during promotions and $38 when normal. Mechanics cost about $30? Anyway, in my whole life so far, this is the cheapest I've ever encountered. My most expensive haircut was about $50 I think. But that was when I had long hair and needed extensive layering.
Anyway, this new hairstylist cut it in such a way that is spiky and like it's just out of bed. I don't even need to comb it. But, I look boyish. I don't really like it...But my mum thinks it's great. Well, it's not that I don't like it...just not used to it. It's spiky. With tails coming down behind and many steps and layers coming down. gah.

I had a really weird dream last night. Well, all my dreams are weird anyway but this one exceeds all. But never mind about that.
I'm having a bad hair day [but that's everyday, actually]. My mum snipped off some of my fringe yesterday as it's growing too long/ugly. I, will never dare to cut my own hair again - not after the disaster last month.
Yesterday's NDP was boring. Well, the only reason for watching NDP is that you get to see tanks, rifles, officers, swords =]]]] I love them! I mean the military stuff. The other items are boring and I was overwhelmed by the seventeen year old soprano there. My mum also seemed to be in shock after she gave a really powerful rendition of "Will You". It was even more perfect than my conductor singing falsetto when singing my section's parts!
The NTUC that's near my house [the one opp the catholic church] is closing for renovation T_T
That means, if my mum needs groceries, she will drag me to the branch near Tampines Court and the round market. More exercise is good for you, m'lady.
It's funny you know. In Primary school, I was known as quiet and shy. But in Secondary school, I feel so much at ease with you wacky [in a good way] guys that I don't feel in the least shy or awkward. But of course, that's coz my class rocks =]

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??

Labels: National Day, School Days

Felt quite moody today. This post is gonna be long as it will be bout my weekend too.
School was relatively normal. Even though Laura and Melanie said to meet at 6.55 for stretching, I didn't stretch or warm up my muscles at all. We went down to meet the choir late as I waited for Anna and the others. I was so tired...couldn't be bothered to subject myself to stretching like dancers in front of everyone [we were onstage]. Anyway, I was yawning non-stop...had to do it discreetly as students started filing into the auditorium.
The most humiliating thing was that I sang off-key halfway and it was really obvious >< And Mr Tan was just right in front of me plus Ying Tian was next to me. Ah well.
And again, we did dribbling for PE. I hatehatehate dribbling while running. I cant. I can dribble [so can anybody] but not while running. Somehow I don't do well with hand-leg coordinations I guess. The people who can really dribble are shifus Jaclyn, Harriet, Zingy [Duh, she was in basketball once], and Geraldine. When playing against the so-called "Purples", we won 7-0. Zingy actually wanted to switch teams but I didn't allow her to. Haha, she listens to me...=]
Then when Anna wanted to score a goal, Jimin blocked it and the ball rebounded. Guess who it hit? It was me. Clever girl. Best part? It hit my face. My jaw. My chin. Oh yeah, let me tell you a fun fact, the basketball stole my first kiss you know. In primary five, some boy threw the ball without warning and it hit me smack onto my lips. I was deeply traumatised and now have an aversion to basketballs heading point-blank for my face. Anyway, that isn't the point here. Then each time we scored a goal, Yimin and I would do the Victory wave. Also called the Kallang wave and Keller wave. Zingy and Liz [too lazy to type the whole name =p] joined in after a while.
Although the ventilation at the back of the classroom is awful, it isn't so bad after a while. Teachers wouldn't walk all the way to the back, people at the back are cool too =] Just that it's a suana.
Last Saturday, I got this two bags. One cool black bag and another olive green sling. I think most likely i will bring the black on Wednesday. Then again, is it wiser to bring my ultramarine bag instead? gah.
I'm still at lost at what to buy for Zingy. I've already bought something for Geraldine. Hope she likes it. There's still Yimin's birthday. But I know what Yimin wants already.
Come November, there will be even more presents to buy. A few got mixed up between my birthday and Tessa Y's, but can't blame them - her's on the 9th.
Sorry that this post is random. But then, which post isn't?

Labels: School Days

I woke up the second time at Zingy's desk today. Forgot how I'd gotten there till later...I was really tired so went to her place to sleep. Well, she's always late - usually. Zingy is my name for Xin Yi btw.
I stayed back to discuss and improvise the PBL webpage with Cassy and Livia. We are making good time =]] Then at three Livia and SiHui had to go but Cassy and I stayed. I fell asleep again while Cassy tackled the flash. I sleep more in school than at home.
Btw, today's spotcheck was relatively alright. Not many people got demerits, I think. For once, the LD didn't say anything about my skirt =]]] When everyone stood up, I tugged my skirt down. My skirt isn't even short anw!!! It's at the knees...Maybe she mistook the length of my skirt [which is already quite long] last semester. =]]]
I still can't make up my mind to cut my hair even shorter...it's been a month! Think I will just forget it. Don't want to make regular visits to the salon. I have to pay cheapest $40 each time I go...Plus my old hairstylist isn't there anymore. Forget it.
Got a peep at the class photos today... As usual, I look like a perfect nerd. It's always the same=]

Labels: School Days

These are some of the photos I took on Saturday...I'd wanted to upload them then but there was some error on Blogger=] All are just...whimsical. I usually take photos at the most random places...-__=
Today's Literature lesson was hilarious. We went to the MPR to act out impromptu skits. I had only one - thank goodness, considering the fact that my number is right in the middle =] well, you get what I mean. Anyway, I loved the one on these two girls [ Anna and Geraldine ] being head over heels about this guy [ Clare ]. Geraldine was so funny! When she saw Clare, she folded her skirt till it was high above her knees =]] Then while both were fighting desperately for Clare's attention, Clare announced, "Wait! I've got something important to say! I'm a GAY!!". Ms Vicky then commented that it's true - good-looking guys are always either married, attached, or GAY. LOL. Geraldine should act as a guy though...Lol. Anyway, it was damn freaking funny! Though Pearlyn, who was laughing hard accidentally dug her elbow into me, coz we were leaning back to back against each other. The next skit was about this couple [ father: Jessie, mother: Paveta ] whose daughter [Suet Yi] came home only after the curfew. Anyway, after a dialogue about preferring to chill in Snow City rather than "chillin" in the freezer with fish XD, Ms Vicky again commented. She remarked that that's how kids get into drugs etc. after she saw how many of us don't have curfews at all. Then Suet Yi said she stayed over at her friend's house till morning. Ms Vicky then asked, "What do you do at your friend's house? what's there to do?" Suet Yi said they played in bed. That sounded wrong and again, everybody ended up cracking up. LOL.
Ran mass run with Deb this morning. We could have ran faster if not for the crowd which was jamming up the whole path along the canal.

Btw, I forgot to blog about Speech day=] The performance drew positive feedbacks. Farzina was so nervous that she started giggling...Don't understand what she was doing. We were all fooling around backstage before going out [ we were the first item ]. Everyone fussed about how they looked and Kumitra's blouse came out and she had to stuff it back in a hurry. I dislike smiling during performance though. Ms Tham told us we must be like Big Bird from Sesame Street, friendly and approachable, with the mouth wide open. Since it's the hall, the dynamics were changed to f, ff, fff. I was really singing my loudest already. Gtg now, ta.

Hey.
Sorry if it's been a long time since my last post - though it is not really a long time to me =]]
Loved today's mass run. I was the first to reach the classroom, heehee... Don't think I was the first to complete though. Anyway, Pearlyn managed to catch up with me today - till the last lap. Actually, it's not that she managed, it's that I forced her to. Lol. She wanted to stop and slack but I didn't allow that to happened. So she resorted to pulling my shirt sleeve. In the process of doing so, although she meant no ill-feelings, she actually bared my um, undergarment strap. My shirt is quite baggy, so yeah. So if anyone was looking at us, they would have seen a girl looking half-dead and pulling the sleeve of the girl in front in a desperate attempt to stop her and the girl in front is also desperately pulling her sleeve back. Gah.
I rushed through my homework this morning as because of cca again, I didn't have time for it - had to rush home everyday. I'm sorta hoping that next week, we can get to run 2.4km even though NAPFA is over. =] Love running. Don't ask me why I didn't join sports. Anyway, Pearlyn, you must build up your stamina!! =]]]
I just rekindled my love for all kuehs today =]] I bought a Lapis Sagu and yet another type today from CrezCafe. =]] It was fantastic. Lol, I started loving kuehs since real young so it is one of my first loves along with vanilla and egg tarts.
Chinese oral was excruciatingly tough. I stammered and missed more than five words in the passage coz I didn't know how do I read them - for some, I didn't know they even existed. My mum says that when I speak Mandarin, it doesn't even sound like it, my pronouciation is more like a foreign language. Wonder if I'd flunked. Nothing I can do about it anyway.

Labels: School Days

For the whole week, I will be staying back - unfortunately. This is my schedule.

Monday ; Choir / Speech day rehearsal and Chinese Common Test
Tuesday ; English Oral
Wednesday ; Speech Day Full-dress Rehearsal and Mathematics Test
Thursday ; Choir rehearsal and Chemistry Practical Test
Friday ; Chinese Oral and choir rehearsal
Saturday ; Speech Day performance

Today's oral was tough. It's the toughest I'd encountered so far, and I was privileged. I was the first of the whole cohort. And I was the sole timekeeper for others, meaning I will get to leave the last. At least the teacher gave me an egg tart after everything.
Yesterday's rehearsal session was funny. Laura and Melanie scolded Pearlyn for walking up the "stage" in the arts con studio as if it was a beauty pageant, doing the president wave =]]
BTW, happy birthday Deb!!!!!! =]]]

Labels: Crez chorale, School Days

Hee, since I can't make up mind about choosing which song [again], I shall use an old song =]]
I got a negative twenty-seven for my 听写 yesterday. Didn't study for it. Neither did I study for History. I didn't have time as I had choir the day before and had a Maths assignment that was due on the same day. This goes to show how precious time is.
My mum's cooking is great! Loved today's dinner =]]



Lol...and it had my favourite...Japanese cucumbers!! Plus mayo, slightly over-cooked carrots, long beans, and of course, not to forget cauliflower that was soaked in dried scallop soup for flavour. Love it! I dislike all cucumbers except for Japanese cucumbers coz it isn't bitter and taste much more refreshing ^^ Heee, my mum always call me picky and the high maintenance girl.

***You Are Scissors***
Sharp and brilliant, you can solve almost any problem with that big brain of yours.People fear your cutting comments - and your wit is famous for being both funny and cruel.Deep down, you tend to be in the middle of an emotional storm. Your own complexity disturbs you.You are too smart for your own good. Slow down a little - or you're likely to hurt yourself. You can cut a paper person down to pieces. The only person who can ruin you is a rock person. When you fight: You find your enemy's weak point and exploit it. If someone makes you mad: You'll do everything you can to destroy their life.

Are You Rock, Paper, or Scissors?

There was Speech day performance rehearsal today so all those in Performing Arts had to stay back. Laura punished the whole choir to run round the parade square - even for those, like me, who were wearing uniform. So if you were there at that time, you would have seen weirdos running while clutching their skirts and blouses.
Ms Tham came today. While performing, she kept reminding us to SMILE, so much so that I felt like we were in a toothpaste advert instead. You know, the cogate and the darlie ones, whereby there will be a woman smiling like she will die if she doesn't and there will be sparkly stuff? Anyway, after singing, Ms Tham scolded Pearlyn as she wasn't focusing. Ms Tham said Pearlyn only smiled at Mr Ho who was adjusting the microphone at the front while we were singing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Ms Tham said that Pearlyn didn't even spare her a glance while she was conducting us. Didn't know Pearlyn was so interested in smiling at people handling microphones.
Anyway, we sang terribly off-key to day =(( Hope would be better tomorrow.

My mum always say that I'm too responsible and worry too much.
I felt so remorseful today. Just because I stayed back during recess today, everyone had to see Ms Ong during journal writing session. It can be said it's more like a disgrace to the class. I was really surprised that no one blamed me that they got scolded by Ms Ong. It's all my fault. I mean, even when I knew I was violating the school rules, not only did I not stop others from doing so, I even joined them. That was really irresponsible of me and just coz of one blunder, Pearlyn, Cassie and Anna had to talk to Ms Ong. Tessa [sim] and Verity also had to talk to Ms Ong too. I'm really sorry guys. I got so depressed when Ms Ong said everyone had to stay back that I refused to talk to anyone for a while - Sorry Pearlyn since I sorta ignored you when you tried to talk to me during that period. When we went back to the class, I was really upset and afraid that people would hate me coz they had to stay back. Thank goodness she didn't ask all to stay back in the end, if not, I would not have forgiven myself.
Oh yeah, today, I ran with the Sec4s. Even if I knew they run slow, I didn't know that they run so slow. I managed to run past three levels and they were still happily strolling. But I was happy that we could finally run since Mr Mun, our new PE teacher didn't let us run yesterday, not like Mr Samat. He's quite lenient though...more lenient than Mr Samat at least.
Gotta go now. Ciao.

PS: I suspect Deb was drunk today as she was real hyper...and her mind...was not in the right context when talking to me after school - No offence Deb!!

Labels: School Days

I missed my usual six o'clock train to redhill this morning. Had to wait for the 6.10 train to come. Which explains why I was later than usual and once I stepped into the classroom, Tessa [Y.] suddenly shouted "Eight!" at me. She was teaching us the language, Gibberish, which she excels at xD

Our PE teacher changed to Mr Mun...Mr Samat is retiring in August. Mr Mun is relatively nice but he didn't let us run...only taught us basketball tactics and throwing - all the basic stuff. What didn't make sense was teaching us to use a ball, orbiting round our knees, waist, and head. Anyway, it was quite fun, if not for the poor stamina of Pearlyn. She kept complaining about her nails and fingers. Lol, it is right that she's in performing arts, not sports.

After missing three Home Econs lessons, we finally went to the cookery room. I was the last again, as the class was split into two and my partner was, again of course, Xin Yi. Anyway, for our glutinous rice, we forgot to add salt and oyster sauce. Well, Xin Yi was in charge of adding the oyster sauce and me, the salt. We both forgot....only remembered the light and dark sauce, HAHAH. Btw, you know, Xin Yi has never cooked or touch the knife before in her life [pity her maid who does it all], I kept instructing her. She then called me shifu. And the knife we got was quite blunt. So when Ms Teo said to cut off the stalk from the mushroom, Xin Yi got so fed up by the knife that she asked me why not just use our fingernails to rip it off. We can see that she will not pass any hygiene test if she wants to be a cook.

My mum bought tickets to Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix movie yesterday. So nice of her =))
We went to Delifrance for our breakfast but the service there was horrible. And it put my mum into a bad mood. We then left and went up to Sembawang to look at some CDs. Thanks to many recommendations from the helpful shop assistant, Paul, my mum bought six CDs for me in on go! I was so shocked. It was really really great of my mum you know ^^ I chose two instrumental Cds, Good Charlotte, two soundtracks that were both very old, and thirty seconds to mars. =]]]]
Then we went over to Tampines Mall for the movie was starting soon. We queued for about twenty minutes to buy the popcorn and drinks - there were so many people watching the same movie. As a whole, the movie was okay. Saw so little of Malfoy =/ but Rupert Grint looks better. Well, I think Grint is even better than Radcliffe. Emma Watson still look as beautiful.
After that and buying groceries, we went back to Century Square to take neoprints =]]
Took a long time to decorate and stuff. Was so fun =]]]

I was so tired today. When I woke up this morning, I almost walked right into the kitchen window if not for my mum as my bleary eyes were still shut. I never regretted joining CGS, in fact, I am thankful for it. The commute is wearing me out slowly though. Especially I would have to stay back till at least six and will reach home earliest at seven plus. The earliest I've reached home this year is 330pm.
I rushed through my Keller house shirt designs with help from Sihui. I was actually asked two days ago but was too busy with choir. Luckily Jolin didn't mind that I was one day late. Before going to 2C1, I went all the way up to the last level to 3C3 to see Zhong Jie [the treasurer after Xin Mu] to accompany Pearlyn. I really love the last level. It's so much better than the ground level. Miss being on the third level. I'd never liked our original classroom anyway...the injured senior and 4S1 can stay there as long as they like - coz I dislike that place. Sure, it's convenient, but it's ugly. It's so confined. And I hate the grille.
Oh yeah, when Mr Choy said we could do our homework or whatever in the last few minutes of his lesson, I just nod off. Till Lit and Jimin woke me up [thanks jimin =)]. Yes, I was that tired. Anyway, during Lit, when Ms Chua asked us to seperate into groups of six, I joined Jolene, pulling Jimin along with me. Then Sihui chose to ask me to join them instead. Ms Vicky somehow found it amusing and said something like, she can see that I'm popular in the class. I'm quite afraid of Ms Vicky. She can be so cool at times and scary the next. Overall, she's alright.
Oh yeah, I think Ms Chua, Mrs ow, Ms Wee, Mr Choy and Ms vicky were shocked when those of us in the back row just literally climbed over the tables. Hahas. Mr Goh gotten used to it by now.
Stayed with Sihui for about 20min at the study pavilion near 3C3. And we talked for a while. I forgot how it came to that but she commented on my nails. So I told her I cut it as I just cut myself while scratching my neck, leaving blood behind so in the end, so as not to do further harm to myself, I cut my nails. Sihui then showed me her nails which were longer than my nails before I cut them! The best thing's that she has never cut herself. So, thus I concluded that my skin's more delicate than hers. Heehee. My skin IS delicate, if under the sun for too long, it can get as red as cooked lobster...and my face always flushes whenever I laugh too hard. -.=
Sorry that I keep flitting from subject to subject. I just feel so weary. I feel real depressed. It's like, all this time, I keep encouraging people, I'm starting to feel tired myself. After sometime, people take you for granted, they take advantage of you by pushing tasks to you, assuming that you would help them do them, being the nice person you are. I just feel so worn out. Someday, I'm gonna snap and burst out. I remember crying everyday in Primary four. Being nice isn't great. It's not about being nice after a while. People start to take you as a dumb person who will do anything for them, do their duties, cover for them. It's the human race I guess. Join the club.

The temptation of just giving up is bekoning to me. Why is it always me? Why push everything to me and expect me to clean up you guys' mess when it's none of my business? Why?

Been feeling quite pressurized lately. What with preparations for Speech Day, assessments, projects and other commitments. It seems that there's really no time for everything. Besides hockey, I think we were the only other CCA that had rehearsal today. It's truly difficult to commit the whole Las Amarillas into memory as the words are complicated. When Ms Tham said that our year-end concert will be combined with St. Andrew's boys, most of the girls' eyes lit up - according to Ms Tham, lol. Anyway, that will still be in a few months, better concentrate on Speech Day. Our perfomance time must be the shortest...five minutes, including intro, going up and down the stage. It's gonna be difficult singing in the auditorium as it's not built for singing. We will have to project our voice to our loudest for all to hear as the auditorium, as I'd said, is really the worst place for singing.
If we can manage Las Amarillas, maybe, just MAYBE, we can sing that for Speech Day instead of Everyone Sang. I wish for Las Amarillas although I can memorise the whole of Everyone Sang already as Las Amarillas, as Ms Tham has said, shows more attitude and is not as delicate as the former. Also, Las Amarillas will be able to better portray the ability of our school's choir but that's only if we don't get messed up with different sections. Was quite mean today, since we did mix again [much to my delight], I successfully distracted Pearlyn from her section and she didn't know what she was singing in the end whereas I was singing the correct parts >< size="2">Under the pressure. Homework, assessments, projects, they are pulling us down but also helping us.

My hair seems to be neither short nor long now. I went to my old salon [ Shunji Matsuo's Icon ] and wanted to get a trim. Unfortunately, my previous hair stylist, Kathlyn, already left this branch and is in another Shunji Matsuo's branch - just not Icon =((
Jeanie was my hair stylist that cut my hair last Saturday. Such a weird name. Anyway, she cut it just a lil' too short...and when my mum told her to just cut it short, it was too late. Sighs, that's coz she already cut my layers, so if I want it shorter, the whole draggy process will need to start again. Argh. So now, my hair is neither short nor long...but Jeanie turned out to be quite good at styling and cutting my hair. The thing is, when I tie up my hair, I look like an old auntie, but if I don't tie up my hair, I may get a demerit as my hair is quite long. -.=
During choir the day before, we did sectionals coz much to my delight and relief, Mr Tay didn't turn up. We ran through Las Amarillas once more till all can get it right and Those Dainty Daffodillies, Stand By Me and Everyone Sang. Don't know how on earth am I gonna remember how to pronouce the lyrics of Las Amarillas or when my section comes in...I can remember the whole of the intro though.
Gave Pearlyn the last of my jelly beans today. We were joined by some 2C1 people- Gladys, Eunice and another person, Eunice is Pearlyn's angel. Then as we were walking out of the school, with Pearlyn talking mostly to herself as no one bothered to answer her, we asked if she could keep quiet for at least 30min. If she could, she will get $5. Deb was like calculating how much Pearlyn would get for each minute and so on. After 4min, Pearlyn gave up and started talking again. We were like, wow, no determination at all.
Oh yeah, just now, when I was cooking porridge for dinner, I dropped the cover of the rice container thing. Inside, I don't know how they got there, but the rice was swarmed with BUGS. Tiny little BUGS crawling all over. BUGS were crawling on the cover too. Note the word BUGS. It's a miracle I didn't scream.

I think she knows, oh crap. Everyday, coincidentally.

Slacked a lot during mass run again. Feel quite guilty, I lost Pam, Pearlyn yet again too =((. Sorry guys! Or gals for that matter. I only saw Deb who was running with me. It was only after we cross the bridge that I saw Pam and Pearlyn. Sihui couldn't run as her wound hasn't healed. I'm really really sorry for not waiting!!! It's just that I was running real slow so I'd thought you all were right behind me. Will try hard to slow down - especially at the crossover and the bridge.
You know, I am so sick of the window's view that when some cleaner placed a trash bin on the slope, both Deb and me suddenly shouted something like, finally there's a change in the view. That's how sick we are of the grassy slope. What's worse is that the slope is going down towards us, making it seem so depressing.
During Literature, Ms Vicky demanded us to memorise both the definitions of similes and metaphors respectively. And when she wanted an example, Jaclyn blurted, "As red as Mr Goh's underwear!". Everyone was shocked and laughed real hard. Then the whole class went "Awwwww". That was after Mr Goh's lesson.
Almost fell asleep during Chinese. Btw, managed not to fall asleep during History for the first time. Just that I had to copy previous lessons notes from Deb.
Okay, since I still have some time left, shall post about yesterday then. Mr Tay came and it was just like normal...just that he wanted us to do our stretching standing up - meaning it was much much more PAINFUL than normal. Oh, the excruciating pain...we had to bend our backbone backwards while side-stretching or else he will pull it back for us, not caring if it cracks. Sheesh.
Then for the first time, I sang Las Amarillas. That's coz of my illness. The first time was almost disastrous but Mr Tay didn't say anything. Then after some time, we had to do mix, which was what I dreaded. The only thing I like about mix is that I can stand next to other 1C1-ers. Was next to Elizabeth and after that, Evangeline stood in between me and Zi Yu. That's the good thing bout being in different sections from your classmates I guess =] Anyway, with coaching from Zi Yu [ Thank you Zi Yu!!] I managed to pronounce some of the mexican words during mixing. Heee, then Evangeline almost got side-tracked by my singing. Must be more focused! Haha, kidding. Anyway, she sort of scolded me later for singing so loudly since she found it difficult to comcentrate on her parts. Well, the problem with me is that the higher I get, the louder I get too.
But seriously, the climax of the song was really high-pitched. Well, it is for my section that is. The altos sang really low. Deb asked me a real weird question this morning btw. Coz Evangeline told me that I sang so high, Deb [who was sitting next to me] said that it's a bit funny that I can sing so high when my voice is so low. Alright then, shall answer your question properly now:
How low my voice is does not really play a huge part in my singing. My SL's normal voice is lower than even mine and she can sing real high too. You can't really say a person can't sing by how low or high a person's voice is - coz they aren't speaking in their "singsong" voice, as phrased and named by my conductor. During practices, if there is really a need to read aloud a song, and my conductor wants us to say it in our choir voices, it will sound like Mickey Mouse, which is so embarrassing! Lol, and I never sang as high as in choir when not in practices so that's why I sound so low during music lessons ^^ cant be bothered.
Oh well, I'm so long-winded! Anw, we needed to memorise Las Amarillas by next Monday latest - wish me luck!

Okay, i almost wanted to hit my head or jump off the building when I saw the state of 4C1's classroom. Wait, I can't jump off the building when it's on the ground level...bummer.
The whole side was strewn with a WIDE variety of trash. Real trash. It's not that bad till I looked at the window grilles and saw paper balls stuck between the grilles. Wonder how they got there. The previous girl, Nicole, obviously didn't bother to bring all her stuff with her as I had to shove her career guide book, letters, and some brochures all into the dusty cupboard.
Actually, I was quite irresponsible...didn't get a broom from some other class to clean up the area. So when the relief teacher came, we had to clean the trash up. Oh well.
I refrain from looking out of the window like I used to do now. That's cause there's really nothing to see...cept for grass, grass, and grass. Just ask Geraldine and Iva, they would agree. Anw, sitting next to Deb now.
I didn't realise that there is even a maths test till during recess today and freaked out. Hope wouldn't fail although there's only seven questions. The relief teacher reminded me of my former form teacher [Ms Ng] - both in outlooks and attitude. They don't share the same surname though. Both are fussy over details and very responsible and take things too seriously. hm, could they really be related?
Stayed back in school till 430PM with Livia. We were both doing the PBL web page. Why we took so long: As I always sleep during CS lessons and Livia forgotten almost all the details of the web page stuff, we did it awfully. Turned out there were so many broken links. We redid it thrice. The second time we did it, we got stuck and needed Ms Shervon's help.
We did get her help. But that was half an hour later. When we FINALLY found her - she was doing up her hair somewhere else, she said she needed to use the toilet urgently. She was in the toilet, answering the call of nature, for fifteen minutes. She got both Livia and me so worried that we started speculating about what happened to her. One was about running out of toilet paper, another was diarrhoea. Oh yeah, yet another was her leg got stuck in the toilet bowl - that's by Livia btw.

It's all a coincidence, I guess.

Shifted to another different Sec4's classroom again today, this time it's unlucky 4C1.
It's a pity that they are at the Echo block =((, I wanna be in Futura block!! Futura's view is much better. Whereas Echo's view is just, well, GRASS and maybe one or two trees with the service road linking the the other blocks. Ah well, grass is good for our eyesight.
I like it much better at 4S1's classroom...but for personal reasons, I would rather be in 4C1's classroom now. Sigh, goodbye to the good view of condominiums and the canal and other buildings. =( Goodbye to being on the third floor for four months and near other Sec4 classes ><
Anyway, with effect from tomorrow, we will be switching with 4C1. I still can't manage to like Echo block - to me, it's awful...Much rather G block. I want Futura ^^
Anyway, thanks to teacher's unclear instructions, we were late for assembly and got yet another class demerit. It's not really any one's fault...just a miscommunication. We had to sing the school song outside the auditorium. Oh yeah, Sihui tripped during mass run yet again. She was running with me and then the next thing I knew, she disappeared from my line of vision. After looking down, I realised she actually fell [ no offence to you sihui!] . In the end, she didn't need to complete the mass run. It's kinda fun to run again after five weeks, partly because of my illness. Felt good - just that I slacked and ran super slow today.
Notice how many things repeated today, we getting booked, being late for assembly, shifting, and Sihui falling. Well, shall end here, ciao!

I wonder if there really is right and wrong.
Everything has two sides - that I agree. It seems that every one's identities may somewhat be similar to each other and yet different because of our influences. It was mostly due to the influence of a very special person close to my heart that my beliefs in life were shaped so carefully yet full of questions still. We both agreed on our views of people and thoughts. Our philosophies are same yet vastly different. The influence wielded on me by him and vice versa was great. Every one's thoughts and philosophies are carved out by their day-to-day lives, their interactions with others, their emotions, their initial naive selves.
Sometimes, traits that appear as wrong may only be another term for something that others look upon as of high prestige. I have a dream. It is to be able to publish different thoughts and philosophies in a book. I may not want to be an author [ it was actually my ambition till three years ago actually ], but I just want to do that. To be able to express my ideas, my aspirations in ink, onto paper, into many copies. Ambitions change, yet, this is something that I've yet to be discouraged of.
It may be all only an act of being jocund. Yet, maybe all the merriness the others see is actually part of me - just that I didn't realise it.

My life now is more like stagnant waters.
The only ongoing stuff is homework, assessments, frustrating projects and countless insecurities. My handwriting these days is so messy! You know, my handwriting was actually really messy during kinder garden school till primary three. It was like, till primary four that it started to look legible. During primary six it started to look cursive as the year before [2005] Mrs Dieu taught us cursive and I was influenced by that I supposed. This year, my handwriting is getting messy and cursive. Such that my mum also says it's really trashy as my writing is sprawled and tilted...sob.
Yesterday's Youth day celebration was quite weird. The last item, four female teachers [ including Ms Vicky!! ] danced to "Buttons". Then midway four other males came in. Mr Goh looked so awkward sitting on the chair being flirtatious, LOL. When Mr Choy went on stage, he was quite poor thing. The rest of the classes cheered for their teachers whereas we remained silent. Lols.
I wonder when we will actually get the class jerseys. Fell asleep during History . Ms Ow and Mr Siow are quite kind - they didn't say anything when either Tessa or me fell asleep during their lessons >< . I wore my uniform yesterday, much to the chagrin of Sihui, Deb and Pam.
On Thursday, it was like, the first time the Level Discipline didn't comment on my skirt. Well, she didn't comment on anyone's skirt XD. But before that, she told me that my skirt is quite short and that the next time, she may give me a demerit if I don't do anything about it: such as lengthening it - which I didn't. Before it was my turn for spotcheck, I kept pulling down my skirt ><>< Maybe for once Sihui is right...Anyway, if I pull it down, it's really below my knees so for now, I'm not gonna do anything ^^.
