My common test results are okay. I got no Cs or Ds. Hopefully, I will be able to do even better for EOYs. Bleh, there's only three more weeks. At least PBL is finally over. Good luck to those who are joining IP and need to do PBL regularly XDDD

So far, my common tests results are okay. The worst has yet to come : Mathematics.
I was happy with Geography since I did study hard for it although the subject just makes me drowsy. And I got what I expected. Physics was good but I made a few careless mistakes which are worth me knocking my head over. But it was the first time I got full marks for MCQs.
Chinese wasn't too bad but it wasn't my standard - meaning I have to buck up. OH, and I passed D & T!!! I thought it was a goner for me since I didn't even understand the last question.
On Monday, it happened for the fourth time in three months again. It's becoming a monthly affair, I can see. I rode all the way to Pasir Ris. This time, it was different. Yes, I did wake up at Tampines, but I thought it was Bedok. Reason being that I got a seat at Kembangan and since I was so tired, I just fell asleep. Within what seemed like milliseconds, I sensed that the train stopped at another station. Blur ol' me opened my eyes and just assumed that it was Bedok. Till I was in the next station and I got a big shock when I heard 'Pasir Ris...' Bleh. I wasted about seven minutes in going home then.
I went to see the doctor yesterday. I saw my childcare centre teacher there. Well, I don't remember her but my mum did. The name didn't ring a bell but her face was kind of familiar. I remember being very antisocial in childcare. In one day, it was possible not to hear a single word escaping my mouth till I went home. That's why my mum used to tease me that I had gold nuggets in my mouth, therefore I couldn't bear to talk. The teachers also discussed this problem of mine during parent-meet-teachers sessions. Well, it was because I didn't see the need to speak and sure, I was lonely, but I just didn't know how to make friends - let alone keep friends.
Anyway, my mum talked to the teacher for a few moments before it was my turn to go for my consultation. Doctor John offered to give me a MC and asked if I wanted to skip school. It was quite a tempting offer since it means I don't have to wake up early. But I didn't want to miss out on collecting back the common test papers.
My flu isn't that bad too. It's just that today, when I sneezed a few times, there were a few drops of blood. Oh well.
BTW, on my way home from the clinic, there was this really cute girl who kept staring at me. Then before she alighted the bus with her parents, she waved at me and even gave a good-bye kiss. She was really cute!
I have no idea how I'm going to sing tomorrow since my throat feels like it has been rubbed sore with sandpaper. Help.

Friday's D&T test was tough. I finally know how great Mr Ho was in making our papers easy. I can see that Mr Chu intends to kill us all with his questions on isometric drawings and orthographic projections. Jessie predicted wrongly about the designing question. She guessed that we would be asked to designed something easy like a flowerpot. No one expected that we would need to come up with three items as souvenirs for the Youth Olympics in 2010. Anyway, I stressed a lot on Singapore's climatic conditions in my anecdotes for my designs. After all, many tourists complained about the heat and the humidity in our sunny little island. With only two minutes left, my last design was a plush toy. No one can resist a cute, hug-able soft toy.
Chinese oral was kind of a disaster. I was supposed to be the first for my group but thank goodness Sarah needed to go for her tuition hence she went before me. Yimin and I went on the same turn. After three minutes, we were told to stop but Yimin kept trying to peek underneath. She didn't finish reading I guess. For the conversation category, everyone expected to be asked about Olympics. However, it turned out to be something about uniformed groups.
很多学生都不喜欢参与制服团体。以你的看法，说出一些原因。
I made up a lot of stuff that were mostly weird. The teacher was the same as last year and she's nice - she's very encouraging. My strangest statement was
“很多家长不鼓励孩子参加制服团体因为他们必须烫很多衣服。制服团体的学生都有很多制服。。。”
Oh well.
English lesson on that day was sort of fun. We had to list out grammatically-sound sentences describing what are the things that annoy us and those don't. Many put people smoking as annoying as the cigarette fumes are suffocating.
I went to the TA after oral as one of the parts of my tablet had been pushed into another compartment. Thank goodness it took only twenty minutes.
Today's lesson was alright. We were given another piece to practise on. I was really distracted by the flickering lights in the room. 'Twas like a solemn version of disco lights.
I shall now proceed onwards - to win the battle against Flash. How I hate creating web pages.

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.

painfully beautiful.

The fingers on my left hand feel like they are going to split into two each. Romance De Amour is a beautiful yet painful song to play. The barre chords nearly killed my fingers and I couldn't stretch my fingers across five frets and those five frets were all at the higher end, meaning it's tough to press the strings down. Sure, I can stretch my fingers, but I can't produce the note since I can't even press that string down DDD:
We started on the new course book today and learnt another song. Which is easier than Romance De Amour but my fingers were hurting too much for me to play another barre chord.
About the National Day celebrations, I have no idea how I'm going to memorise ten national songs before Friday. At least I'm proving such great patriotism for my sunny little island here. =]
I stayed back on Friday for nothing. We were going to clear the gowns from the CCA room plus the scores to the Communicative Arts room. Unfortunately, there were literature lessons going on in the Comm Arts room for the Sec4s. It's getting annoying with the number of times we planned to stay back to pack when something just crop up and cause us to go home without doing anything.
Analysing Lady Macbeth's personality is killing me. I hope I will be able to pass Literature...I have no wish to take up pure Geog next year. Sure, I can pass that subject, but most of the time, I have no idea what I'm studying at all...it just isn't my cup of tea. Alas, I have to ace my Lit to get what I want.
There's also Physics...Since Primary five, I can say with much confidence that I dislike learning electricity. I vaguely remember day-dreaming my way through lessons on batteries and stuff. How I got good grades in Science was the fact that I memorised everything I read from the textbooks. I don't think I would be able to do that now though.
On a lighter note;
Due to the insanely humid weather, I'm exerting my utmost tolerance in refusing to cut my hair. Yes, I'm trying hard to keep my hair at a longer length. I don't intend to have it as long as what I had last time though as it was difficult to manage. Geraldine also told me that she wanted to keep her hair now ^^ We shall keep up with our efforts.
Why I want to have longer hair? After seeing my past hair accessories, and after walking countless shops selling such pretty hairbands, scrunchies, ties, ribbons, clips - I got tired of wishing to be able to use them instead of buying and giving them away since I can't use them. Silly as it may seem, it makes sense to me =D
BTW, I saw this really cute toddler at NTUC today. She was so pretty, sweet, wonderfully CUTE. We had a staring contest. I lost though since she can really stare. But she was so cute!!! If I had a sibling, I think I may have a serious complex =/

This year's Speech day and Learning Festival had been integrated into a single day. Therefore there were more activities and it was much more hectic than last year. It was really tiring though.
For today's performance, it wasn't really our best but we did what we could at that time I suppose. Ms Ong forgot to cue our section in for our first page. Jolene said that we sounded freaky as our notes were very high =D She was standing right behind us on-stage with the band.
The audience was not really encouraging though. Most of them were still chattering during the band's and choir's performance D:
Right after the Speech Day performance, I had to rush to return the stand and change my top. I then went for my ushering duty. Most of the schools were late. I must say that it was quite fun but hectic. I had to carry refreshments for the performing groups and the drinks were HEAVY. I was running up and down, just to remind the groups of the time and that they are supposed to come down at least 10 minutes before their performance.
After the refreshments part was done, Ms Ang actually gave us drinks to drink too as there were many extras =DDD
We then gave out the Learning Festival leaflets to anyone who wanted them. I gave many to the band people =D It was quite difficult though as most of the visitors didn't want it or had already taken theirs at the foyer. When I gave the last of my stack, I went over to the teachers' stall to help in the selling of their items. I managed to persuade Clare, Christy, Ms Ho and a few others to buy from me. Ms Ho was really kind!! She immediately bought some snacks from me =]]]]
Before that, I'd also helped the 2C1 stall to sell their kuehs for a short while. Jessie and I cornered a Fairfield Methodist Priamary boy and coerced him into buying one XD
When Jessie saw that there was a girl from the same school walking nearby, she asked if they knew each other and when they said yes, she made the boy buy a kueh for the girl XD Poor boy.

My throat hurts after yesterday's singing D: It's not the usual sore throat - it feels swollen. Oh well, I just hope that I can sing well on Saturday. I must sing well. =D
Today's rehearsal was much more tiring than last week's. Everyone managed to arrive at the hall after warm-ups on time. Unlike Juniper, who loves the stand so much, I had some difficulties carrying it initially. It feels like I'm carrying weights...

Anyway, Juniper conducted us today. We had to walk in and out as usual, and remain on stand-by outside the hall too. And Ms Ong changed our standing positions today. For the first time, I'm actually the middle. It seemed weird at first, as I'm so used to standing at the side, but it's fine =]
Although the rehearsal ended at four plus, we practised further to touch up on the two songs. Compared to normal choir practices, at least we could go at five-thirty instead =DDD
I think I'm going to flunk my English and Chinese Language class test. The theme for the narrative essay was unexpected. My essay was just filled with crap. For the second test, it was just a plain disaster. I did not understand anything from the question paper and I was really sleepy then. My handwriting was illegible too and my correction tape was used up. I'd even cancelled one whole question and re-wrote it at a teensy corner. Let's hope I wouldn't get penalised for that. For the cloze passage, it was totally beyond my humble comprehension. It just seemed to be a jumble of Chinese characters to me. Sure, it was an article, but due to the "chim-alogy" or maybe I really am too dumb, I really couldn't get what the whole paper was about. Yes, I know I AM dumb. It's just that I feel extremely stupid now. Bleh, it's going to be awful when I get back the two papers. There's also the Literature test tomorrow and Math plus Physics tests on the day after. Is there such a term called 'Triple Doom"?

Although it was a Wednesday, I had to stay back mainly for the Speech Day rehearsal. There were many problems and most of the time, the choir was left alone onstage. Teryne and I felt like BBQ-ed pork - those that they sell at discounted prices during CNY and the shops will have some reddish light shining onto them. Yeah, there were red spotlights on us. Diu Diu Dang a was sung well on that day if I remember correctly, although we didn't sing that during the rehearsal.
There was also English oral yesterday. Our class got Mr Ravi as the examiner. I'm not sure if I will fare well for this exam as he didn't show any indication whatsoever. Reading was okay, but the Picture Discussion part was quite horrible. The photograph featured was about a few teenage boys accompanying young toddlers on floats in a swimming pool. All of them were males. I interpret it as: It is a collaboration between the NS guys and some Kindergarden school. This was partly because the reading passage was on NS Navy, and all the guys didn't look above 20. All of them had shaved heads too. So it should be okay if I said that right? Unlike others, he only asked me one question excluding "what do you think is happening in this picture". He asked, "What is the likelihood of something happening?". I was answering halfway when I forgot the question. That was when I stopped suddenly and asked, "Again?". I think he got irritated and he repeated his question. Hope I will manage to do well for this exam somehow.
My friend got into VJIP. Well, lots of people are applying for IP now. Let's just say, I decided not to try out for this IP thing as my grades are not good enough. Plus, I have already decided to stick to Crescent for four years and not two. Third reason would be that I know I will die from the workload in IP. Plain ol' me will always know what are my limits =]
But I kinda admire those who got in or are already in this programme. It just shows that they are really really really smart and they work fast. =O

I forgot to post about Mr Poon who came in as a relief teacher for our geography period on Wednesday. Apparently, since our lovely oral examinations are approaching fast, he, as an English teacher did not want us to waste any time and wanted to help us practise our oratorical skills. To give an example of what 'monotonous' means, he randomly grabbed a book from the front row. The book happened to be the one lying on Harriet's table. He then proceeded to read. There was just one particular problem though: it seemed that the passage contained some explicit words that was not to be read to a big audience - especially when we are only young adults. I still remember what he remarked after his eyes widened at the choice of words used by the author, "Young people these days...What are they thinking...the choice of books...". Of course, he showed what 'monotonous' meant in the end - by quoting a paragraph on how the brain absorbs information found in a copy of Readers' Digest on Pearlyn's table. "This, is what you people should read." Was what Mr Poon announced, after he finished quoting.
The oral exercise that we did was to change partners every turn, and to expound on the topic he gave us right before our turns to speak. Since we were in pairs, so each will take turns to listen, speak and comment. Unfortunately, I did not get to speak when the topic in question was what I had confidence with. Instead, I got
When I was listening to Deborah explaining why Avril Lavinge was so trashy to her, I could only catch the three words: Like a mop. The rest was lost to my ears as she was TOO FAST. LOL, she later told me that she said that lavinge's hair is like a mop. XD
Oh yeah, about today's guitar class. My mum and I were rushing to Tampines Mall for my class and were waiting for the pedestrian light to turn green. There was this old man who didn't care about the traffic whatsoever and just proceeded to cross the road with his wife. He was saying, “要过，就过。”When my mum heard that, she told me, "What he meant was: 要死，就死。" XD
I made it in time and knocked into this poor soul when I was walking to the place. As both of us were walking towards each other and there was this corner, we just banged into each other. I didn't see him at first coz he was shorter than me. Hahas, poor guy.
I made a fool of myself during the class too. When the teacher called Tammy and me to play Guantanamera, I heard it as "Eugene and Tammy." So when I caught everyone looking at me, I was surprised and asked,"Huh? Wait, ME?". I heard Eugene snicker.
We got a new solo piece again - Speak Softly, Love. It sounds sad and somehow, I felt like giggling when the teacher played it once through for us. I think I'm mad.

Today's Youth day celebration was relatively short. But it was still fun to see the teachers putting up their items for us. And everyone said that our class shirt was really unique ^^
The Humanities Department came up with this last-minute item. The teachers were showcasing the styles of music icons from the 60s to the 21st century. Mr Tham did one of the guys in ABBA and Jay Chou. His face was so moody when doing the latter XD Ms Li also did Click Five and it was hilarious. There was also Britney Spears. Wonder why no one did Madonna?
Ms Loo paired out with Mr Keong during the Mathematics Department's item. They were dancing to the tune of uptown girls =D And she saved her rose for our class. \^^/
Oh, and throughout the whole thing, I had to protect my knee from Tessa Sim. She was trying to peel the cracked skin off my wound. Tsktsk. Everytime I turn to look at the stage, she will attempt to prode and study my knee. Lol, she is currently fascinated with it.
I managed to leave school at four plus as we needed to arrange all the old scores in the CCA room. Anna, Evangeline and Joey were really enthusiatic about practising the South African Pantsula. And I was in charge of reminding Ziyu to tag the gowns after we were done with the scores. XD

Oh, and throughout the whole thing, I had to protect my knee from Tessa Sim. She was trying to peel the cracked skin off my wound. Tsktsk. Everytime I turn to look at the stage, she will attempt to prode and study my knee. Lol, she is currently fascinated with it.
I managed to leave school at four plus as we needed to arrange all the old scores in the CCA room. Anna, Evangeline and Joey were really enthusiatic about practising the South African Pantsula. And I was in charge of reminding Ziyu to tag the gowns after we were done with the scores. XD

The trip to Peacehaven was okay. It was quite awkward at the songbird [is that the name?] ward at first. Because of communication problems, it became difficult to understand the people there. Our singing was also, I would say, nice, but still not really great to listen to and I don't think our audience could even understand us. We brought fruits over and made origami for them too. After that, I went off with Pamela, Sihui and Jolene directly from Peacehaven. We took a bus to Pasir Ris MRT station. I didn't know that Downtown East changed so much - as in the entrance area.
I then spent quite a painful evening at home with my poor knee. It took quite a while for me to get to the shower as I was afraid of the pain. Never did I think that I would trip over a loose drain cover [again]. Drains are dangerous, aye.
Today's guitar lesson was good. Jason [ I think that's his name ] was suddenly so hyper and all - he kept volunteering for everything. And he shaved his head 0-0 I thought he became a monk or something. Turned out that he shaved for a cancer donation drive. He was asking Brandon why he didn't shave too [they are from the same school] and joked that Brandon doesn't have any sense of humanity. When teacher asked him to write out the rhythm on the board, Jason got it all wrong - except for the first beat. And teacher asked us, "Who thinks this is correct?". Only Jason raised his hand,"ME!". LOL.
We were given a new piece to learn again and Tammy and I were wondering which note should be sharp. We didn't ask the teacher so it was only until Eugene asked teacher that we knew. It seems to be quite a good thing to sit next to him as he would ask the teacher or if he knows, he would just do a demo. But in the class, there's still no conversation - unless you count those between Jason, Brandon and Nathaniel, or Tammy and Eugenia. And it has been almost eight months.

People who know their dream and what they want to be or achieve in the future are truly admirable in my view. They have already gotten this resolution and will set out to achieve it. The feeling of knowing just what you are going to get is definitely better than just ambling along life's paths, wondering what is in for you next. They say that the teenage years are the rebellious part of a person's life. What they left out in the saying is that the teenage years is when someone actually carves out their ideals and learns the ways of the world. True, many would agree that when you retire from your job and slowly age, you will definitely realised that your perspective of the world will greatly differ from what you had expected and thought of it when you are just an ignorant teenager. But the things that you were influenced by through the environment you were in when young has proven to be a huge impact on your personality and thinking. Does that mean that the choices made when you were a teenager would also affect what you will be in the future? These thoughts would swim around my head when people talk about how far they have gone in their life, their career paths, their families, and how much has changed since they were my age.
Maybe it's just normal to feel insecure at my young age. But what about friends who have already decided to be doctors, mothers, lawyers, and even where they want to work in? When I hear people talking about what they want for their career, I get this scary feeling. How do people have ambitions? How do they find their life's true calling? Even if they do have ambitions, how do they get the confidence and courage to be able to take pride in it and know that they will not fail their own expectations?
Last Saturday, I went with my mum to Auntie Shirlene's house. The adults were discussing their own topics as usual and suddenly, the topic of my school life was brought up. Questions about what subjects I am intending to take started to pop up. I was then suddenly struck by how aimless my life was. In my life so far, I had never really taken the idea of 'long-term' planning seriously. To me, I never really wanted something very badly - unless you count the times whereby I desperately didn't want to fail a subject or be embarrassed. Even getting into my school was quite a spur of moment decision (I changed my first choice the last minute). As my answers to the well-meaning questions asked by the adults were inadequate, I guess, they just got kinda concerned for me. Advice and stuff about how the subjects you choose would affect your career prospects next time got me worried then. Who knows, maybe most teenagers feel the same way as me.
Tomorrow will be the overdue farewell party for Ms Tham and Mr Albert Tay. I wonder what song are we expected to perform tomorrow. I got a bad feeling about singing Alleluia and Mighty Wonder though. I really hope my premonition will not be worth caring in the end.

This year's class outing was quite a success - fortunately. The only thing was that many cancelled on us (some with the strangest excuse).
.jpg)
This is of course, by me too. =]
From Tampines to Harbourfront, each time I end a call, another would come in - and that's excluding the text messages. That was why I was not reading any sign or looking carefully when I stepped out of the ticketing barrier. I just got swept along with the usual morning working adults who were striding to their workplace. And clever me just followed like a lost lamb and ended up in Harbourfront centre without knowing and even followed some tourist to some lobby and then to some taxi / cruise thingy. I was shocked to see so many tourists all lined up. And I had to call Ching Han to ask where on earth I am. Yeah, I didn't take notice of my surroundings. So, Ching Han said that I was in Harbourfront Centre (I haven't been there since Primary five), and I had to walk back to the station and walk into a different opening to get to Vivo.
We got to Palawan beach without any problem and met up with the rest of the organising committee there. While sitting on the Andro's canvas with Ziyu (keeping an eye on the water bombs as well), this boy came over and did the "Chicken Dance" right in front of us. I think he was playing truth or dare with his group of friends. It was quite funny. Oh yeah, I wrote a message on the sand there:
The "& TESSA" part was not done by me. After seeing my "I love myself" message, Tessa Sim decided to add that last caption underneath. A tourist saw my message and said, "I love myself? How nice." LOL. Some scribbled that they love their idols - like Sihui...who wrote Miyavi and reita -.-
.jpg)
This is of course, by me too. =]Anyway, we climbed to the side of the bridge nearby and most of us took photos like that. I didn't take part in the first few games as I went with Tessa S and Jessie to collect lunch from the station. We discussed on Jessie's "special flavours" that she added to the food. And I will not reveal Tessa S's secret - she did something on her way back. We came back and I went to play in the game they were playing then. XinYi's water bomb got my shorts completely wet. Lunch was a very casual affair and all of us just stuck around to eat and drink. Since there were extras, some wanted to have seconds. Deborah let me have two bites of the cheeseburger - which was stuck onto my teeth and Deb had to pull it out.
The pail balancing game was fun. My team was the best! We managed to balance the pail even with water being poured on us. The only disadvantage of the game was that our whole body will be wet and sandy - a gross combination. Oh yeah, the other team's balancing skills were pathetic XD And after that game, it was random water bombs. I just realised that it hurts big time when someone throws a water bomb at you nearby. We had to clean up the mess afterwards.
Ziyu, Krystal, Andro, Evangeline and I were the first few who went to the shower to clean up. Unlike the others, Evange and I chose to shower in the open shower at the back. Of course, we wore our clothes while showering. We dried and changed in the empty cubicles next to it. Ziyu joined us at the shower thingy too. Oh, and there was a banana peel stuck onto the door of my cubicle. Jessie thinks that a monkey must have been inside to shower too.
It was quite boring after that and we just cleaned up, wait for some missing people, pack up and go. I waited for SiHui to blow-dry her shorts first. Then to Vivo we went!
We fooled around at the Toys R Us.
Deborah and I. The hats were too small for our heads actually. I think the hats were meant for 3-year-olds.
We went to Burger King to eat after that as most of us were starving and went on to the children outdoor play area nearby. That was when Sarah discovered that she had lost her phone. Deborah and Yvonne then searched through the dustbins and the play area while I searched the bags. And the dustbins were foul. Really. FYI, Sarah's handphone was not found. Tessa S joined us at Burger King while Pamela left for her tuition. Sihui and Andro left us long before that for their quest for the blu-tack.
All of us went up and played at the Sky Park water area. Yvonne and Deb were throwing slippers. We proved that my pair of slippers are the most buoyant too.
We walked around the shops after getting bored by the water. And Tessa S bought A LOT of things. Well, at least she was the only one buying. Then somehow we got to the subject of what will we wear on prom night. Yvonne was saying she will be wearing a tuxedo and she will never wear a dress. Oh and talking about dress, there was this bridal gown display and the gowns were awesome. And back to the subject. Seeing that there are still two more years to prom night, we still have plenty of time to decide what to wear anyway. And I think gowns are pretty actually ^^

Tomorrow will be the first day I am able to stay at home. I have been going to school since the start of holiday for rehearsals and the science workshop.
The concert last Saturday was quite good, I guess. But some of the audience didn't seem to like us at all. When I was taking the bus to Clementi MRT station after the whole thing, there was this guy who was with his girlfriend. It was obvious that they were from PJC and he said that we were awful and had no stamina. Oh well. How I wish I didn't hear that...it was so...disappointing. But it's quite true that during the combined songs with Wild Empire and PJChoir, we were kinda drowned out by them. My mum couldn't even see us onstage. Oh well. I kinda prefer combining with Secondary schools choir ^^ The other two choirs are really good BTW.
This time, the sopranos and altos were given separate dressing rooms too. Anyway, as per normal, it was mass change and every one was running around trying to put on make up and do their hair. And Juniper almost lost her gown tag, her rose choker, and her skirt. Tsktsk. Tabitha had to bring the skirt back for her.
The environmental science workshop was relatively interesting... just that I fell asleep. Well, I wasn't sleeping the whole time of course. We went to Sungei Buloh Reserve on the first day. The bus was so jerky that I kept having the urge to puke. As we were sitting at the back of the bus, Anna shifted to the other side so that she wouldn't get puked on. We were saying that if I really puked, Juniper's head would definitely get it coz she's right in front of me. The trip was really short and we only had time to get the water samples and do the broad walk. Before going, I borrowed Anna's mosquito repellent but wiped it off later as it felt disgusting. Oh, and surprisingly, I didn't get any mosquito bites from that place! I think it's because I stuck close to the human mosquito repellent: Juniper. Serious. I know my blood attracts mosquitoes somehow, but I didn't get any bites for the first time!!! But Ziyu and the others got them. Wahaha, Juniper is a repellent! Or maybe she is just a good luck charm. ^^ Hahas. Ziyu mentioned that the bloodtype B+ attracts mosquitoes the most, but I don't really believe in that and I'm not a B+ though I still attract mosquitoes in the Bio lab anyway.
On our way back, I had enough of sitting on that bus and it was so warm. That's why I sat right on the floor of the bus, where the air con ducts were blowing. Yeah, it was quite weird and every time the bus braked, my head will be thrown forward against the back of the seat in front. Oh, and I brought my hippo on Monday and Tuesday too! Hahas, I still think my Hippo is cuter than Juniper's sheep. She brought this yellow-green striped plushie today. Only Anna could remember the name of one of the characters in the show the plushie was featured in - the rest of us can't even remember anything of it.

Lest than half the class turned up for Cyber-Wellness today. The poor speaker had to talk to the pathetic number of us. He was quite an interesting speaker though- at least he does not just waste his saliva and leave. In fact, he tried to talk to us about the famous guys that we may like. Sadly, maybe because of the age gap, all his guesses were wrong. Except for the Show Luo one. Although he isn't popular in class, I like his talk show very much! I can't remember the name, but it's a really funny and interesting show that features on almost any Taiwan stuff, I guess. And Yamada Ryosuke doesn't look like a Taiwanese! It's obvious that he's a Japanese. Hahas. Anyway, I had to leave the talk halfway to get the gowns from the General Office. The gowns look ... slightly different : still as purple, yes.
We ran through the three sacred pieces and the ABBA songs today. Practice was quite fun but everyone seemed tired - especially the Sec4s. After Math, Pearlyn and I went to the canteen to eat and Deborah drowned my beloved Eeyore with her love yet again. Laura and Melanie came down to the canteen too after their paper, and talked during the break to Pearlyn and me. Cynthia was also there.
During the first part of practice, some people came to service the air conditioners in the Seminar room. Some got quite distracted but it was still quite okay. Good thing that Regina Caeli sounds like a song now although there a still mistakes. I must try to memorise all the songs. What I'm very worried about now is Hope, Faith, Life, Love... . Although there are only seven words in the whole song and it's more of a chant, I just can't get it. I mean, I'm okay during sectionals but when we sing combined, I just sound weird and till now, I can't remember the whole song. Gosh. I really must work harder.
We went through the actions for Dancing Queen and it was really messy at first, but Ms Ong told us where to turn and stuff like that. Oh, and we started on the actions for Mamma Mia. Ms Ong told us to just think of any pose for each line within like 30 seconds. Everyone came up with really simple and girly moves. Wahahaha, I never thought I could be bimbotic. Really. But of course I don't use the bimbotic moves that I did when we were not singing in the song. Those were just for fun. =]] Now, the thing is to REMEMBER all the moves that I did during the singing.

I feel miserable now.
I think it is true that I fall ill almost every holiday. I went to the clinic to see Doctor John yesterday evening and he refused to let me go for any CCA, school functions or whatsoever till I get enough rest. When I told him that I think that it's important for me to attend today's full-dress rehearsal, he cut me off by saying that if I sing or talk today, I will definitely lose my voice and shall have to visit him again next week. Of course, after weighing my options, I decided to forgo today's practice and at least, I will be able to go for next week's ones. But I still went to school in the morning to hand in all the programme sheets with me, and left my MC with Kalyn.
Hopefully, by next week, I will be able to sing and I can be able to do Regina Caeli well. ><

We had the sexuality education talk and the school Invasion tour today. It was almost five hours spent in the auditorium.
I find that keeping an open mind about a lot of things is very important. They touched on homosexuality, temptations and sexual abstinence, pre-marital sexual intercourse and lastly, how to take care of your skin and other aspects of puberty. Anyway, it is really awful to be in the same place for such a long period of time. Thank goodness for the invention of the air conditioner.
School invasion tour was fun...But we couldn't make out anything that was spoken by the two vocalists - Tessa Sim and I could only make out what Soo was saying. We sang happy birthday in the auditorium for someone [ I think Soo ] , Crescent style =D The Sec4s in front of us were really funny. They used paper to give their comments to those guys performing. LOL.
Right after that, I had to go to settle some stuff so didn't have time for lunch. As Ms Ong didn't want practice to be interrupted, we had to do the gown-fitting only after 4.30pm. It was really problematic. The Sec1s are all too small-sized. Either that or they are far too short! Gah. Anyway, I feel so tired now, we only went off at about 6.30pm plus plus...and I reached home really late. Oh well, got to sleep now - tomorrow will have combined practice! Good thing we are the host, at least we don't have to know how to get back =]
