My mum and I went to watch HSM3 today. The whole cinema was full of KIDS. Halfway during the movie, the three little punks on my right decided that their bladders could not hold for another second and had to squeeze past to reach the toilet. Unfortunately, the same boy had to step onto my toes each time he squeezed past me. I promise to never wear flip-flops to movies again.


My mum agreed that Lucas Grabeel looks better than Zac Efron. I love Sharpay and Ryan. Anyway, the movie was fun to watch even though I dislike Vanessa Hudgens. Unfortunately, the drink wasn't covered properly and it spilt onto me. How great: my mum poured pop corn onto me the last movie and now I get iced lemon tea soaking up my white shirt. Just lovely.


I also got two dresses today. They are really pretty and I love them. Well, I love dresses generally. Anyway, one is for my retro look for the Musical Evening. My mum initially wanted me to wear another black dress with big buttons but I found that it was difficult to take off and it was warm. And I didn't really like it, plus we will need to change fast after performing so I decided on a bright purple dress and a sleeveless dull grey dress. I think I shall wear the purple dress for the concert! Although I have the retro flower print dress that I wore during the May concert, I think I should change and that dress belonged to my mum anyway. =D

My mum also bought some clothes for herself. I decided to stay right outside her cubicle at the fitting rooms after five persistent sales assistants approached me to promote their items. I mean, sure, you may do your job by asking me to try on those clothes, but don't give me that kind of black face when I say that I'm not interested. It's just not polite, you know.

Grocery shopping involved my skills in steering the trolley through the big weekend crowd. There was also the usual headache that comes with being in the stuffy supermarket.

I'm worried about next year. Will I ever get into my first choice? Juniper is popular now: the girl who is the third in the level and yet chose double science instead of triple. You're famous, Juniper. =]
That aside, I find that everyone wants to get into triple science because they want the status that comes with it. They want to be called the best. However, my reason for letting it be my first choice is because I don't know what to choose. I don't know what I want at all. I chose it because I don't know whether I should take Biology or Physics. Maybe it will be the wrong move after all. How do people know what they want anyway?


On to dedications. To those going to NJIP, well, it's the usual well wishes. All the best for next year. May you all enjoy the weekly horrible PBL projects that you will continue to do and miss our school. There's also Sean who is going for VJIP. I bet that guy will be too busy insulting people to even talk to me anymore. By then, with all the new friends in a new school, it will be tough to keep in touch so may I just take this chance to thank you guys for being such great people. =/

It's funny, this is the fifth year that I'm in the same class as Jolene. Both of us have changed a lot since Primary Three. From our cute chubby selves to ... taller people. Oh, and I remember people called you chipmunk in 5/7. If we get into the same class next year, we will be classmates for seven years in total. And we have never been in each other's circle of friends before. =D

Oh well, I wanted to do individual dedications but it will take up too much time. Anyway, it was simply great being in the same class for the past two years. Hahas, this is like saying good-bye in Primary Six.

Although it's the last day of school, I don't feel particularly emotional or anything. I think I will feel sad during the class chalet. Our class has the most number of people leaving for IP. Eight, in fact.


Quite a few didn't attend school today. It's Clean and Green Day and some decided not to come and get stuck cleaning the school compound. I had to scrub the walls. For most of the morning, I was running around, trying to settle the class admin stuff. After which I had to finish cleaning and packing up the things that were lying around.
Most didn't have CCA and went out together after being dismissed at 9am. Since there was choir at ten, time was spent idling around with Juniper, Claudia, Evangeline, Ziyu and Anna. After accompanying Claudia to the TA, we managed to be in time. The Monet Lab is simply fantastic after its renovation work. All the gadgets are new and really cool. It's mainly for those who are in the Computer Club. Those digital artworks.

Anyway, we decided which ten songs we are going to sing for Musical Evening. It's your loss if you decided to just go for the first day and not the second. The first day will only feature the band playing. Whereas the second day is power-packed. Choir will also have our own dance moves for those fast beat songs. So people, those who are like Sihui, it's really your loss to miss the second day.


However, I feel kind of unprepared and afraid to go for WYCF in December. I mean, almost all of the people participating are section leaders of their own choirs. Since Juniper will be in Australia during that period and Lixin did not take part, I guess they chose me and I'm happy that I get to go for this festival. But I never had enough confidence in my voice. And it's no joke to learn eleven songs within two weeks. I'm also the only one from my school to be in the SSA choir while the other three are in the SATB choir. Seems like I have to wake up early for those two weeks since I have to be at Bukit Timah by eight thirty.


It looks like I will only be able to rest during the Christmas period. The first part of the holiday is used for the preparation for the class chalet, next year's reunion if possible, and rehearsals for Musical Evening. Next up would be the festival then. Wow, I will be singing twenty to twenty-one songs this holiday. The most I have ever sang in two months was ten =O


Next week will be hectic with the class chalet. It's tough being on the planning committee, I guess. But it's the last thing I can do for the class this year, therefore I must do it well. Ms Li and Mr Tham are now proud owners of our class' mascots: Pinkie and Blackie. They are for stress-relieving purposes, exclusive to 2C1 people of the year 2008!


Shall start on the holiday homework tomorrow. I'm too tired to do it today. Thank goodness I woke up in time just now - I'd almost missed my station while dozing on the train.
By the way, I will be making dedications to people in my next post, till then.

Over the moon, down into the morass of gloom

I think Suet Yi didn't know what to do when she saw that I was about to cry today.

I PASSED MATHEMATICS!!!

I was so relieved and overjoyed that I really felt like crying. I did cry later and at least I cried for the right reason this time. Haha, I never knew I can cry so easily too. Maybe it's because I feel that my diligence is finally recognised. All the late night muggings, memorising, correcting finally paid off. I was really wrecked during the Mid-years when I failed even after the amount of effort put in. At long last, I finally got a good score after so much hard work! Hopefully, the overall score wouldn't be pulled down drastically. Oh, and I got a 80 for Math by the way.

For the rest of my subjects, it was the usual average. Except for Literature. Macbeth seriously killed me. I was really disappointed but I did my very best. I think I will have to take up core Geography next year since I got a distinction for it. I dislike Geography though. I can see that I will be unable to take Literature as a pure subject next year even though I really love the subject.

I realise the true importance of Chinese Listening Comprehension now. It really pulled up my marks for Chinese. And once again, I couldn't get that A1. I was just 2 marks away from A2 too. At least it wasn't as devastating as Science, which toyed with my feelings: It is just so close to an A1! D:

Anyway, I hope PBL will pull up my score, not pull it down. =/

Yesterday was kind of long. I found the mass dance very fun and better than mass run =]
Keller didn't win the Cheer competition but it's okay I guess. After all, Fry's segment was really nice.
The wayang show in the morning was difficult to understand. They gave us a brief introduction in English before the show. In any case, it was only after half an hour that I realised the person on stage was Nezha and not the kidnapped kid. I could not tell why they said that the show will show us the dire consequences of gambling, drugs etc. There wasn't any reference made to these topics in the show since it was about Nezha fighting some bad spirits. The music was also deafening. At least there were back flips.

The Secondary Three Bridging Course was tough. It was on the seven laws of indices. I am really proud to say that I paid close attention to the lesson till the fifth rule. With the air-conditioner turned on to such low temperatures, I felt really drowsy with the cool room temperature. I survived till the sixth and seventh rule. That was when I pretty much gave up trying to solve any questions. Brain processing time slowed down to that of a snail. Therefore it was a struggle to even make sense of what I was jotting down. I managed to complete one page though it was full of ink blotches. My brains were between the state of reality and Lalaland.

Deeparaya concert was kind of fun to watch. The guest performers and the dancers from our school were really good. Especially the guest performance by the Indian dancers. The women were totally in-sync!

I love it when school starts at 8.10 instead of the usual 7.10am. I managed wake up at 5.30 instead of 5am. There was no rush this morning and it was really good to be able to make my way to school slowly instead of rushing for the train. Car-free day is definitely good. =]]

Oh, what a night!

I think my mother is the only one who can watch a movie after shopping at NTUC. Well, she didn't buy any food - just the necessary paper napkins etc. Still, it should be difficult watching a movie with those plastic shopping bags isn't it? Not to mention that my dearest mother actually emptied half of the popcorn onto my lap when she laughed. We were watching the movie 'Mama Mia' and yes, it's a great movie with many funny lines. With the box of popcorn wedged between us, she tipped the thing over while laughing and I found my lap covered with the popcorn. I sort of gave out a little shriek but I think the music should have covered it. Oh well.
By the way, 'Mama Mia' is a really good movie. =]

My mother is keeping a tight control over the number of soft toys I have now. Mummy even said that I should not get any soft toys for this year's birthday since my bed is invaded by them. I don't sleep on my bed anyway - there's no space for me anymore. There's Eeyore I, Eeyore II, Eeyore III, Pooh bear number 30 ( I think ), Piglet III, Baby Tiger, Rilakkuma, Mr. Green Bear, Mother bear, Baby bear, the key chain that Sheree gave me as a souvenir from her trip to Switzerland. There are still a few others but I kind of forgot their names. And the rest have been squashed inside my toy boxes by my mum. I don't mind any new additions to my little family though. =D

This is a failed attempt today


Me:You know, mummy, that doggy looks so cute!!!!
Mummy: You have enough soft toys to last you a lifetime!
Me: Come on...
Mummy: Any one's birthday coming up? Then can buy for them.
Me: Yeah!! There's mine!!
Mummy: No. You have enough toys.
Me: But my toys need to have friends too.
Mummy: Yah, they have enough friends already!
Me: No, they should network more. Networking is always good for your social well being. And they are so lonely at home.
Mummy: ...

Hahaha, she still didn't let me have the dog though.

Today's class was alright, I guess. The teacher said that I should try to stick to the technique he gave us although my way isn't wrong. Well, I can't play harmonics as well if I use his technique. Eugene took a pretty long time just to produce a sound from his guitar when playing the harmonics today. So much so that Kai Ming had to ask for permission to step outside - to stop laughing. Well, it's kind of funny maybe but not to the extent of laughing to hard...Maybe he breathed in some laughing gas. =D Oh and we got another piece to learn : 'Fly Me To The Moon'. Apparently, only two, including me, out of seven (three were absent) have even heard of this song. It's Juniper's favourite song XD Even Yibin will sing it at random moments. And it's quite a well-known song. And I'm the only one who heard of the song 'More Than Words' in the class. Gosh.

Neopets is starting to be a popular source of entertainment for my classmates. Haha, I find it fun too. I was kind of coerced to start an account. Anyway, I must admit that it's fun and amusing.

Since it's coming in just one month, I've decided to be very helpful and came up with a wish list. Most of the stuff may need to be ordered as they are not sold in Singapore. D:
They are ranked according to how much I want them =D


Hey! Say! Jump Debut & First Concert Ikinari! In Tokyo Dome DVD ( although it's last year's)
Chinen Yuuri photo sets
Hey! Say! JUMP photo sets
And any other albums or stuff related to Hey! Say! JUMP
Note: Please do not buy me Your Seed, Dreams Come True singles. But I don't have Mayonaka no Shadow Boy. =D

Arashi's Dream"A"live studio album

Any cute teddy bears and other soft toys

A treat to MOF or Shokudo Japanese Food court at Bugis.

Nail art brushes

Yesterday was Cassy's birthday and the day before, Pei Yi's. I met Cassy and the others at Orchard for lunch. We didn't do much though...I was kind of surprised that it ended so early. Since I didn't want to make a wasted trip getting out of my house, I decided to wait for my mum to knock off her work in the evening and walk around Bugis with her. Altogether, I went to both Kinokuniya branches - twice at Takashimaya and another time in Bugis. Oh well. And for the record, Deborah was late again. More than 5 calls were made but she was fixed in Dreamland therefore she slept through all of them. It was only when Cassy tried for the last time that Deborah finally decided to wake up. Wow. Maybe we should get her an alarm clock for her birthday next year.

I saw the November edition of Duet and Wink-Up magazines in Kino and HMV. They have Daiki, Yamada, Yuto, and Chinen on the covers. I was really really really tempted to buy both magazines. Alas, I had to walk away empty-handed since I'm trying to save money. If I buy them, my wallet will be cleaned of $29.

I also made a philosophical statement this week: The world is bright. Well, technically, with global warming, it's kind of true. I mean, we should be getting monsoon rains and feeling chilly. However, what we're getting is the sun and the idiotic high humidity that is enough to make you go crazy. Anyway, I was with Jolene on the MRT train. We were talking about random stuff and she mentioned that her brother is currently studying philosophy. Somehow, whenever philosophy is mentioned, the book Sophie's World comes to mind.

I shall plunged myself into watching the Korean drama that my mum got from her friend and Bleach, which I've not watched since late July. There's also Brisingr to read.

Oh, and since I forgot to save Sihui's conversation with me about the reproductive system, I shall post another conversation I had with her. Actually, I did post about that conversation -it's just that I forgot to publish it.

Please note that no offence is meant to anyone, anything, in any way.

Guilty Beauty Love by Miyano Mamoru





hahahah, no, it's not funny
Saturday, September 20, 2008 @ 7:25 pm leave a comment? | 0 shed some light
How do humans dislike each other? Does the brain release some sort of chemical, similar to when we are excited? How is it that a person can just dislike some one's voice that much? Or am I the only one? Why do voices affect me so much? Or am I a superficial person? Maybe I'm too harsh on people? Why am I so disturbed? Why couldn't I control my temper like I always do? How did I lose control?

How did I manage to just show my anger like that? I don't understand why I couldn't control my emotions. Somehow, I just spoke before thinking about the consequences. Of course, no one in my class were greatly affected by it since they are the sort who would only take it seriously if someone shouts at the class. But I never shout when I am angry. Therefore no one took me seriously.

On the other hand, I was greatly upset with myself. It didn't and still doesn't make sense for me to just lose my composure like that. I rarely show my anger and even if I did, I would do it in a discrete manner so that I wouldn't make a fool of myself. And I did make a great big fat fool out of my conduct. Everyone just laughed it off, thinking I wasn't serious. Well, I was too angry to shout and I don't understand why people would waste the effort to shout at someone you really dislike. Shouting is when you are only irritated and wish for someone to quit annoying you.

I am having difficulties sleeping recently. My mother says it's stress but I can't really find the cause of it. There's something missing. Or rather, there's something that has been bugging me. I wonder if it's because I am upset with not controlling my anger as well or if it's because of my studying. Thus, I have been really sleepy these few days although I just can't sleep - not even during daytime. The worst thing that happens every night after I fall asleep is that I will wake up at weird hours, such as 2am or 4am.

However, I don't think my sleeping difficulty has got anything to do with the anger management matter since this problem started before that.
On a lighter note, Deborah taught me that court shoes can become 'fishes'. She tied her pair of court shoes in a plastic bag. The way she did it was exactly the same as how the lady at the market would tie the fish. =D

The questions for Paper 1 surprised me. I then wrote about something personal. I usually write stories based on daily stuff, or my own life. If it's personal, of course I will change it to a happy story, otherwise the teachers will comment that it's too depressing and dreary.
The comprehension was about some Baginda Sutan guy and a haunted hill in Malaysia. Oh, and the tiger kind of made a big impact on me.

While I was walking home on one of those days, there was a guy who suddenly called out "chiobu". I then turned around to see who was that comment directed at. There was no one behind so I guess it was either me or the group of guys he was with at that moment. Since I didn't know what on earth did that term mean and it sort of made me curious since my cousin used it before, I asked Sean what it meant. According to him, it means "pretty girl", which, he stressed, wasn't me. Well, I wonder what is becoming of Singaporean boys then - calling other boys pretty girls. That's a scary thought. Hahas, anyway, it sounds more like a vulgar remark to me.

I wonder what is the cause of a phobia. And I wonder how absurd can people's phobias get. Like phobias of pigeons and flying objects.
Unfortunately, I can say that I belong to this group of people who are terrorised almost daily just because of these ridiculous fears that have found a way to carve a home in our little timid hearts. Of course, I'm not that stupid as to post all my phobias here since Internet is a very dangerous place and I know some will want to scare me. I have all the common phobias: deep waters, creepy crawlies etc. However, I also have weird fears of animals which are within a 5m radius. Unless they got a muzzle on. Cruel as it seems, I am not those cutesy girls who fawn over a cute puppy or kitten.
The trip that TK organised to SPCA five years ago was troubling for me even then. Sure, I didn't run away from the place (it was because I was so afraid the animals would chase after me if I started pushing my chubby legs). They put a rabbit on my lap. Well, I kind of volunteered since I would have to be near that suspiciously looking cat. I was thinking: A rabbit wouldn't have claws as sharp as a cat's right? And they don't look as vicious. I didn't know rabbit had such sharp nails. It dug its nails right into the towel they put onto my lap I was so scared and needed to take deep breaths to calm myself down since they said that animals can sense humans' emotions and they will run wild if they feel nervous. The only thing I could do was to stroke it gently and promise it silently that I will not run and throw it on the floor if it doesn't bite/claw at me.
Funny, I loved animals like crazy when I was much younger. I still remember I almost squeezed a chick to death with my overwhelming love at some egg farm my mum brought me to. Right now, the only animals I love are those animal designs on objects. I can't even remember when it started, this problematic fear. I almost fainted when Klare suggested for us to go to SPCA for SiA last year.
The next most idiotic fear would be calling others on the phone. I don't think it can be classified as a phobia actually. When I call a person, the minute the other party picks up the call, my mind goes blank. Unless the stuff that I want to say is urgent, otherwise I will need some time before starting. My mum thinks that it's a serious problem since I won't call my friends. Therefore she gets happy when the phone actually rings.
"If We Hold On Together" sure is a great song, but it's a tough song to play too. Anyway, we changed to an easier song to play today. All of us were so relieved.
Anyway, on a lighter note, since you are such a loyal reader as to read the whole draggy post, here's a lovely story written by writers Suet Yi and Mei Jun:

The dark tropical jungle smelled full of fear and death. Two brave explorers, Suet Yi and Mei Jun, were very, very hungry. Their food supply got stolen by a gorilla, Ah Ming, the night before.
Nervously, they crept through the muddy, unstable ground, afraid that they might fall. Suddenly, Suet Yi's leg got stuck in the mud.
Trembling, Mei Jun wrinkled her nose and stretched out her hand into the mud to help to pull Suet Yi's leg out. Unfortunately, Mei Jun got cut by thorn which was protruding out from a bush in the mud. Almost simultaneously, Suet Yi and Mei Jun sank deeper into the mud.
At that moment, they could hear chanting from a distance. A group of people clad in tribal clothes were marching towards them. Being stuck in the mud, they were unable to escape when the men tied them up. There was a brief flash of defiance in Mei Jun's eyes, which turned into an aghast expression once she realised that the men were cannibals.
A huge-sized man, presumably the leader of the cannibals, had a smile of pure stunned joy once he knew they had caught food.

It is a good story - considering the fact that we managed to put in all the keywords that Mrs Lau gave us (those in bold. ) and that we did in in less than five minutes.

Hohoho

We started on netball for PE this term. At least it's not as bad as volley ball. Although I still got hit. This time it wasn't a ball, but it was a hand. My cheek still hurts...Jaclyn really has tough fists. We were both trying to catch the ball and somehow, her arm shot out and made contact with my left cheek. Hahas, I kind of blanked out for a few seconds.

Since I have not been blogging for a while, I shall add in some happenings from the week before.
The holiday week was alright, I guess. Just that I'm paying back big time for the hours I'd slept. During the September holidays, I go to bed at around twelve each night and wake up at about seven to eight in the next morning. And compare it to my usual sleeping hours during school days. Oh well. These few mornings have been a hellish experience for me since I have to revert to waking up before Mr Sun comes out to greet the skies. But I have trouble sleeping since last week. Even though I may go to bed at eleven or twelve, I can only sleep at one...

And I almost missed Redhill MRT station this morning if not for my mum poking me awake.
From two incidents that happened within a span of two weeks, I have thus concluded that my school skirt is prone to behaving like Marilyn Monroe's trademark dress.

Incident #1
Last Friday, as there was choir, I didn't bother to change out of my skirt and went to meet my mum for dinner in it. After eating, while walking back, we were crossing the road to reach my block. Unfortunately, I sort of slipped at the curb while a motorcycle drove past. And, it was pretty embarrassing when my skirt flipped up. Thank goodness I was wearing shorts underneath. It was pretty rude of that motorcyclist to laugh at me while driving past though. =/

Incident #2
This afternoon, I was walking with Pamela to the canteen to look for Sihui. Geraldine didn't see what happened as she was walking with Zoey at the back. Anyway, there was this gush of wind and yes, my skirt flew up again. And the same thing repeated when I was walking home. Oh joy.

I don't really have much to post about. These are some memorable quotes from the two weeks. Most of them are from choir.

"Which part of the face is the sound coming from?" - Ms Ong
"Uhmm, the face?" - Me.
"Where is the sound coming from now, Khummithra?" -Ms Ong
"Huh? Oh, erm, from you?" - Khummi.
"I feel like the third party..." - Me. "Oh, it's okay. You can have an affair with both of us" - Teryne.
"Sing with your eyes close! Close your eyes when I point at you! Close, close!" - Juniper.
"But you said to close our eyes when you point at us! You were not pointing at me" -Teryne.
"Good job Sop1s! You all sing better with your eyes closed. Now, we are going to keep singing Alleluia again and again...till Ms Ong comes in so that she can listen to our beautiful singing" - Juniper.
"Don't laugh! Remember what Ms Ong said? That our voices will go back down to our throat if we laugh like that? We must laugh like this: hohohohoho..." -Juniper, on 'How to laugh properly with a high voice placement'.
"Oh my gosh! What happened to her bloody knees!?" -Teryne, on how bloody Florence's knees were (literally).
"A muffin is the bigger version of a cupcake. Whereas the cupcake is a smaller version of the...cupcake?" - Cake Professor, Yimin, on the difference between a cupcake and a muffin.
"My chair is missing" -Deborah.
"I want to sing" - Misheard version of the previous quote.
"This guy has ABS." - Yimin, on her Korean guy star.

Quite a few people forgot to bring their PE shirts to school last week for the ACES day workout. Anyway, I think I failed miserably in the dance workout. I did not know what I was doing... We had to separate into our houses after the workout for the mass dance. We got to see each house dance their very own creation. Although Keller had some initial technical hiccups, we got the first prize!!! Yes, I love Keller the most. Of course, we got our own free class interaction after the mass dance segment. Alas, Ms Li was so busy chatting with her fellow teacher that she was pretty late in her arrival. Mr Tham also had to wait for her as we wanted to blind-fold both of them. It was quite fun though. And we used the councillors' ties as blind-folds. We then led them into their kingdom, where everyone was waiting to crown our beloved teachers.

The two teachers gave us their royal "speech" in the classroom after that. Overall, this year's concert was great =D
Since I told Victoria that I will meet her at TK, I went there after meeting my mum for lunch at Bugis.

It is kind of weird meeting your childhood friends after two years. When I say childhood friends, I mean those that I met since young. Like Cynthia, whom I have known since I think...kindergarden to Primary six? And the rest like Melissa and Don are those that I have known since Primary one. Hahas, They actually look the same to me. I didn't really know how to talk to them since the atmosphere was really tense. Plus, the other three are in the same Secondary school. All of us then waited for Victoria to come while chatting with the teachers individually.

After Victoria came, things became a bit better but I still found communication tough. I kind of feel left out now, hahas. Cynthia and Melissa were friendly though. And I wonder what's with the NPCC trend. Yeow Yang, Weng Lun and Don all joined NPCC. Anyway, Mrs Quek invited all of us to return for the Christmas party at the end of this year. Urgh, I don't know if I really want to go now...
Even after Shermine came, it was still quiet. Karen and I more or less ignored each other since we were not that close anyway. Hahas, and I couldn't talk to Don since it was too strange...what can you say to someone who argued with you over the most insignificant things since Primary one. -.-
Anyway, maybe it's because I left TK earlier than them in Primary six, therefore I'm not really that close to them anymore. Still, it makes me feel so old...remembering the days whereby all of us played together. That was in Primary one to four, I think. After that, most of us were not as close. There was Pei Yi, Hui Xuan, Weng Lun, Qian Yi and uhm, I forgot the last person's name. Oh gosh, am I really that old?

Saturday was spent with Mummy and Auntie Shirlene in Orchard Road. We went to some Chinese restaurant at Paragon for lunch. The chicken was good but I couldn't finish my share. I got sick of the chicken after a while ( most of the dishes had meat ). It was pretty much the usual actually. After lunch, the adults sat at some cafe to chat through maybe two hours. Auntie Shirlene said that I should pack some cup noodles if I'm going to Europe. That's if the trip to Prague really comes true. After all, ten days without rice or noodles may kill me. And I have to remember to bring some medication otherwise I will kill myself during the flight.

We are currently learning "If We Hold on Together" in my guitar class now. Unfortunately, I have no confidence to learn the piece since the page is full of barre chords. At least I have two weeks to learn the chorus =D
Oh well, there's choir later. Ta.

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
I think I fell asleep during English today. Somehow, I vaguely remember Suet Yi strangling me. I sort of blacked out after that. And no, I didn't faint. I don't think so. Anyway, she told me she was trying to keep me awake. =D
I brought Yimin's birthday present today but she is only coming back on Thursday. I don't like holding on to presents for so long D:

And there's also the section run tomorrow and choir run the day after. How great of Juniper to decide that we should run on both days. Oh well. Maybe I can lose weight by running four times a week? I can see how slim the possibility of me actually being thin is...

missed again

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.

原因：不要烫衣服。

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.

to tie up the loose ends of the knot;

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

300 isn't a very nice number aye.
@ 7:56 pm leave a comment? | 0 shed some light
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

我会讲华语的；不要小看我。

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.
Sunday, August 03, 2008 @ 8:49 pm leave a comment? | 0 shed some light
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"?
