Another great day...

It all started because of IPW. The running, the messages, the invitation to a friend to your house at 9am. It's rather strange. Strange things always happen to me. That's the reason why I even bothered posting anyway. To share the thrills of my everyday life with you. Ok....lets start from the very beginning.
I had just woken up. As usual, I pulled out a book from a bookshelve and began reading. Just then, the phone rings. I picked it up. It was Zheng Young, informing me that he was already at yishun. Hurriedly, I gulped my breakfast down and rushed immediately to the bus-stop to meet with him. It was only a while later that I found him and brought him back to my house. He was wearing a thick jacket over a shirt, while I was tucked with a thin cotton shirt and shorts. OMG! The sun was scorching hot! So naturally, he began sweating......haix....when will people learn that the nrth regions of Singapore I frequently HOT! We finished the IPW project in 1.5 hrs....good timing....we played monopoly after that (It was a tie but zy claimed that he won, so i relented). It was only ming zhen's wake-up call did I realise that I had to reach school at 12.30! It was already 11.45! Why is my life such a series of climax? Naturally, I rushed through my shower, lunch and Zheng Young to leave. In the end, I was still late, reaching school at 12.50.
Thank goodness they only started at 1pm. It was a welcoming party and farewell party ; the sec4 were leaving, the sec1 were joining. We were assesed by Mr Leong (one of the instructors). I was pushed off to tenor, ming zhen and siew mun taking their place at the soprano. It was then did I experience one of the most painful yet common practice in choir ; standing. Iit wasn't like NCC or the sports CCA, where you would be able to move your body. The only thing we could move was the control of air and our voices. This was just the appetizer (2hours) ; the main meal of standing up for 5 hours have yet to come. One of the great things today was that it was raining CHOCOLATES! All thanks to Samuel. They are really different. One is a hot-tempered, annoying freak, the other is a kind, gentle Samaritan. Two poles apart. I was thankful. Good ridance to that more awful vision of Samuel of mine. We played tag later. It was fun. We thrashed the Sec 2s and were promoted to the finals ; the showdown with the sec 4s. It was a sure-lose game. But nevertheless, great job everyone! The joy all ended there, with the tears at the farewell speech.
Thanks to Jesslynn and Siew Mun for helping me do the small little favours that I myself am unable to accomplish. Like handing up the complete IPW project on friday. Thanks jesslynn for that. Thanks to Siew Mun for helping lending me $2 for the pizza break that we had. And also for the paper that you handed up for me. Last but not least, my gratitude extends to Ming Zhen too, for reminding me of the important choir schedules and also for asking to be my HE partner! Thanks you all!

Nobody's Home - Avril Lavigne

I couldn't tell you why she felt that way,
She felt it everyday.
And I couldn't help her
,I just watched her make the same mistakes again

.What's wrong, what's wrong now?
Too many, too many problems
.Don't know where she belongs,
where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Open your eyes and look outside,
find the reasons why.
You've been rejected,
and now you can't find what you left behind.
Be strong, be strong now.
Too many, too many problems.
Don't know where she belongs,
where she belongs.
She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place.Yeah,oh

She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside.
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah
She's lost inside, lost inside...oh oh yeah

Happy 50th Birthday to.....

My Blog! Finally, after racking my brains on typing all these posts for you, at least my effort didn't go down the drain. Thanks to all the fans down there! Ok......I know I haven't posted for quite long.....well....it just seems that everyday is so action-packed that sometimes it even makes me sick to type out everything. What to do......it's my job.
Lets talk about yesterday. We had science remedial. It was just checking answers! Why can't the teachers post it in e-portal? Mrs Dan claims that she wants to teach us as well.......the only thing I learnt is copying faster. We had arranged to go CWP for lunch and movie. But plans were altered. Alicia couldn't get out of the house. Me, shi hui, winnie and joyce had to kiss all our plans goodbye. *sobs* As you might have guessed (unless you're dumb) we headed to alicia house for fun! She was lonely ; we are not appeased. Had another wonderful time......went home and played monopoly with my sisters for the rest of the night......watched Mars Vs Venus (last episode) as well!

We get more homework now than our revision for exams!

Yeah....we really have more homework believe it or not. Life's miserable. I 'm really hating the holidays. As quoted by the teachers "In secondary school, holiday is never a holiday." Regrets. That is what sarah should be having now. I'm sure she did not do well for the exams. It's only fair. But still, she did better than me in english. I'm so sore. Still, sweet revenge is near. We would be switching over with the batch of HE students. Now is our turn. We had our first HE lesson today. It's hand stitching. Haix......we still haven't touch the sewing machine. Anyway, the nice thing was that I didn't have to approach any girls when it came to choosing partners. Ming Zhen asked me and I simply agreed. What could be better than a pretty girl asking me if I wanted to be my partner. Of cousre I hesitated. Who could believe that she would ask me. I thought she would ask ryan. After all, they were chilhood friends. I'm also proud to announce that I defeated ryan again! Haha! Eat my dust! I'm also at alicia's house now. Apparently, she's crazy over john right now. She claims that john is also happy. Well, we shouldn't interfere, should we. As for shi hui, she would be discharged today. It's so lonely. Only homework for company. Ms Tham (relief art teacher) must have been mad ; she actually gave me an A1 for Art. My average percentage for this semester is A2......only lose to jerome (boys only) Still got beat Lionel Foo! So happy! Yet so sad! Still got that mountainous pile of homework. Now for the finale. I was raped by him! It all began in the stupid class photo we had to take. He had to stand beside me! And I was so heartbroken! I wished an accident would soon befall on him. Why am i always stuck to people who are so retarded, so arrogant and have the worst attitude. I lead a terrible life. What can I say. At least still got people to support me (not exactly family......more of friends......especially alicia, shi hui.....)! Those are true friends. Not forgetting people from sps. ok.
Better end my post here, before you start groaning.

Happy Birthday Janelle! Finally, my posts are tainted with a streak of red.....well....sooner or later isn't it? I'm also going to post some wonderful pics after I touch down from hk so be ready to award me the flashiest blog award! ok....back to reality........today is really crappy.......we had lessons the whole day! Can't the teachers sympathise us and stop loading us with that much homework? Exams are already over! Don't we deserve a nice refreshing break before returning back to our hectic school lives? There's another thing I feel compelled to tell you guys too......I got back my D&T results and to my disappointment......I got a B3, 68.5.....haix.......Drop by one grade.......anyway, I've just counted that even if I failed Art, there would be no chance for me to do detiorate since if you add up all subjects except art together, you'll get a rather decent 19. Went for the storytelling workshop and took taxi there......had to 'sacrifice' not decorating the toilets for it! I did my share already, lugging 4 pots of plants, 1 sack of pebbles to school single-handedly (not owing ryan and yong liang since I've already compenste them by letting them lean on my shoulders). They are heavy.

The exam results are out!

Have you ever encountered and experience where a teacher calls you and inform you that you were nominated for a competition while you were on your way to school? I had. And it was this fateful day. I was selected for this storytelling competition where the training will take place at admiralty primary school. It was rather shocking........talking to a friend when suddenly your handphone vibrates and it was your teacher talking at the other end of the line. That means I don't have to go for choir today......the workshop is held for these three consecutive days. My life's just starting to resemble that of a drama serial. You probably asked.......where us my standard now? It's easy to answer. Just take a look at the table below

English.....52.....C6 (I'm so hating my markers!) Higher Chinese.....66.....B3 (I'm good....) Mathematics.....66.....B3 (I'm sick on that day so you can't blame me!) Science.....77......A1 (The promised one!) History.....34/35.......A1 (80%) (Teacher didn't disclose the overall marks......but I'm still topping the class with this) Geography......77......A1 (The result of projected marks) Literature......84.......A1 (I'm still topping the class)

I'm not sure about D&T and Art. Don't ask me. Teacher didn't breathe a word about it. There you have it, my SA1.......some of them like english are really crappy but I do love History and Literature! They give me a chance to rule the whole of Sec 1!!! There are also improvements and my favourite is science, from C6 to A1!!! You never get that sort of crap from anywhere else! I also helped shi hui and alicia collect their papers. I'm sure shi hui was gloating whenever she beat ryan and alicia did improve, even if it was a little. But I'm glad that all of them are finally over. Now for a cup of cappucino.......

Hot Spring!

There's nothing much to do during the morning. Perhaps I could go for a short cycle, play online games or just watch my dad sleep......so instead....I tried to adopt the habit of a potato couch! I had the tv remote control in my ahnd....I could flick it....to any channel that can interest. So just like that.....my whole morning just went by.......the aftetrnoons were more interesting though. After my dad woke up, he simply dragged his feet to the TV........brew his chinese tea and scanned through loads of Cantonese Drama. I was playing my computer games then........really had nothing to do. Just when it seemed that the world could not get more boring, my dad proposed that I follow him to the hot springs! Initially, images to sauna and japan springs floated through my mind......really, naive I was, thinking that these things really existed in my dad's idea of hot spring. I was wrong. We were to CYCLE there. Not by any VEHICLE of his but using instead a BICYCLE. I really shouldn't imagine any further. So, we took our bikes and cycled through gentle slopes through the 'highway' and finally reached there. You know the road where the 965 and 969 bus goes through woodlands to yishun (I think its gambas avenue) and we entered a small gate which I thought were meant only for millitary officials. No, I was wrong, the small path in soon revealed a small plot of land, the hot spring. In my mind, it was those pools of hot steaming water where rich tai tais snuggle in talking to the other tai tais about mahjong. Reality takes over
. It was spartan. There was a red-bricked 'fort' in the centre and at selected sites, where taps spilling hot spring water into tanks (huge cans). I supposed that cans were scraped by some helpful people from industrial parks. There was also a caretaker there. Actually, he was a voluntary worker and had painstakingly been the one to retrieve those tanks for us. He was also the one who helped fill those empty tanks and adjusted the water at soothing temperatures. The nobleness of the human spirit. But alas it was the people's constant praises that probably caused him to brag about it. He had helped us to fill our tanks. Us being the new and unexperienced found the water too hot for our liking, but soon after were diping our feet and hands into the hot spring water. It really was soothing. After an hour, we felt that we had enough rest and now rode back all the way to admiralty MRT station for some ice-cream! I tried the flavour burst while my father just licked his hot fudge sundae. A nice treat on a hot sunny day. We went to the neighbourhood park later. I met my sisters and cousins there! We all had a great time until my father summoned me to bring my sister's bike to get it pumped. He also handed me a ten-dollar bill and tell me to go to the NEAREST bicycle shop to pump my sis bike! That shop was like 5km away and I had to push her stupid bike all the way there and all the back. That was so infuriating! When I came back I was already fuming mad! The bike wasn't fixed properly and I was forced to bring it there and back for no good reason! Thank goodness my dad didn't scold me or I would have probably yelled back at him. Not much happened later. Goodbye!

Lyrics for Innocence

Waking up I see that everything is ok
The first time in my life and now it's so great
Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant,
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect,
please don't go away,
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it,
don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe,
not a single tear
The first time in my life and now it's so clear
Feel calm I belong,
I'm so happy here
It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere
I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant,
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect, please don't go away,
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it,
don't you let it pass you by

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry

This innocence is brilliant, it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliance, please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it,
don't you let it pass you by

This innocence is brilliant,
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect,
please don't go away,
I need you now
And I'll hold on to it,
don't you let it pass you by

A different place from home

You probably guessed what it means....yeah...I'm in alicia's house right now.......supposed to visit her earlier but ended up taking a nice refreshing afternoon snooze. Lets just blame it on the captainball's game. We played it before recess......I joined janelle's team.....probably beacause I have no wish to get stuck with (...) again. He is super IRRITATING, PATHETIC, and a total ASSHOLE. He look so DUMB and is a total IDIOT! Fuck....to all his idiocies. I really detest and despise him. Hope he knows it! And stay out of my sight! Its only people like him that bring shame to our society! Even his family members are normal.....nice people. As for the captainball's game, we first played internally, then later, we were hooked up with a game with 1/6. Too bad shi hui didn't go (she's really good) or else we could have thrashed them further....not only 15-0 but perhaps 50-0!!! We rock! We had the Project CRUSH later....today is the last session....it's really boring....I even saw winnie sleeping during the workshops...I also felt equally drowsy myself.......the trainer was really good at hypnotizing people to sleep!!! As I mentioned earlier......it's a total waste of money......they just can't stop talking crap.....did not manage to know the results of any subject....haix.....I'm so worried for maths.......so hoping not to fail!

Just Heavenly.

Today was nice. One nice day to cap all of yesterdays' miseries. The aircon repairmen decided to come today instead. So, I got to go alicia house to visit again. This time, I still won, shi hui still lost and alicia was in the middle, for monopoly. Jackpot! Won three times in a row! Shi Hui left early and I ended up talking to alicia instead. We made up short skits with her plush toys and used her handphone to record those videos! They were so cute! Overall, we spent the day talking about people and the going-ons in school. Simply pleasent.
I went to school today. With my heavy bag and rather irritating runny nose. Haix........won't it be heaven if the school decided to give another break. Good things never last. All of us had to brave 45 mins of sheer Singapore heat in the parade square while listening to the DM blab about us. Boring and annoying. We had our post-exams activities later. Not fun. Listen to people blab again. By the time recess came, everone flooded the doors. We had another session. This time it was not about leadership but Internet PORNOGRAPHY! I can't believe why people want to learn prevention on all these. They are eqivalent to throwing your money down the rubbish chute! After school, I rushed my science file and was rushing to class 2/8 to get get my lit results when Mrs Dan stopped me. She gave me a pleasent glint and complimented me for my great improvement in Science. Also got chance to get A1!!! Siao! C6 jump to A1! Nvm......when I went up to 2/8 classroom, there were already clusters of people holding on to a sheet of paper. Curiosly, I joined my group and took a peep at the results.....I got 40/50!!! This is getting all confused. That is also highest in class! I'm so loving myself! Life just seems brighter all of a sudden. Even if sarah were to pick up another fight, I think I would just run away. Later stayed in the classroom and chatted with janelle, daryn, jaslyn and aleithia. We just chat on all the school-events! It was just perfect. I went home with daryn later. We talked. and a lot. All about our life. Each has their own fair share in contributing to a perfectly wonderful conversation. That was what it was in my eyes anyway. A perfect ending to a wonderfully pleasent day.

One bona fide day!

Yesterday was terrific.......at least the earlier half of the day was. I know this is a long-awaited post, so I'll try to make it as interesting as I can! ^_^ It was the last day of exams. I did not study and have no qualms about failing since I know that I'm hopeless at that subject already. Thank god it was easy.....finished it within 35 minutes! Immediately after Mrs Kumar collected the last of the papers, the whole class exploded into laughter and joy!!! Exams over! During the horrible stretch of 2 weeks, we crammed and suffered. Now it was all over......well not really.......since we would start getting back our result slips tomorrow! I just know I'm going to fail a subject! I was sick halfway during the stupid exams! Really. I even got a MC for that mind-wracking fever. Well, there's no use crying over spilt milk. What's done is done. After the exams, I stayed back for a while to copy some notes for my lit file and copy the science file cover page. Which after that, I went home with winnie she alighted at yishun, I dropped off at admiralty.
We went shopping later! It was already arranged. Only a few people knew about this arrangement. We were hungry the moment we stepped in causeway point. Naturally, went to pizza hut for lunch! It was rather snazzy, since there were hardly any people in there and we would be served! Both of us ordered the student meals at $5.95 (excluding taxes) and we each got a cup of pepsi, a bowl of warm creamy mushroom soup and a main meal. She chose Hawaiin Pizza, I opted for Meatball Spagetti. Mine (as unexpected as it seems) was yucky while hers was really good at wheting appetites! I'm so regretting my choice now! We went shopping after that. First I dragged her to the Singtel Shop at basemet 1, and later, she got her turn to lead me to 77th Street. I was a handphone fanatic. She was a pai kia clothes conossieur. It suited us well, since we really has much spare time in our hands and it was fun exploring in someone else's shoes. In the end, I bought a really nice shirt at the Metro Sale and she bought an equally nice one at Tom & Stefanie (civic centre). After our shopping escapade, we went to my house for a game of monopoly. I won (duh...) and we had a great time. She commented my house was big (like what thousands of other people said before) and left with a nice smile on her face. She was happy.
The rest of the day was really boring and I later spent the whole night gluing my eyes to the television. Well, the aircon repairmen are coming to our house again at 3 to have a look at my sis's aircon. It also really is inconvenent. I had planned to visit alicia later on. And it clashed.

Sunday, May 6, 2007

Thank Goodness! After studying for a few 8 hours, I can finally pull myself up to the computer chair.......I've never studied so much in my life. By the way......I'm currently head over heels in love with Avril Lavigne's songs! They Rock! That's why I just posted 'Keep Holding On'.........I've never studied 6 full hours of history in a day.......I had first hand experience today......I also studied 2 hours of Higher Chinese......since I only want to get B4 for HMT but A1 for History. I never managed to step out of the house. My mother declined shi hui's invitation again for me to go to the library to study......mothers are all like that. The week ahead are all packed with exams.....tuesday is science......wednesday is maths......thursday is geography and friday is english comprehension. To all the people out there.......best of luck in your SA1!

A miserable day....

Miss me? Haha! I hope you do.......yeasterday was not much....I had my first DC and had to copy down a model compo.....just because I didn't put my book in the bag......haix......went home with alicia, shi hui and joyce. Shi Hui and alicia talked about fabian while me and joyce kept laughing about ah lians! And we gave ah lians new characteristics and also describe alicia as an A-grade gold chain ah lian and shi hui as a stainless steel-grade ah lian! We laughed all the way till the MRT station. So much fun! Didn't get to post yesterday because my sisters were hogging the computer for 'E-learning'! What bull-shit!
Had a rather awful day today. My mum was in a bad mood (Ithink she lost in her mahjong session) and we were her exhaust bin! I suffered. heavily. Went to Causeway point at 10 to get free brownies ^_^! from metro since they were celebrating their 50th aniversary. Had lunch at Pizzza Hut. Caution! Do not try the Ocean Catch! You might just puke! Later on, Shi Hui invited me to meet her and alicia and the library.......but my mum was still in her bad mood and I got another bout of scolding......haix......so I can't join them and had to go home to study for history. I studied. A bit. About there. Played monopoly with my aunt and sisters and I won again. Naturally. I'm so good! Yeah...that's all for the day.....bye!

Good ridance to the Chinese History Exam....and Xu Liang!

Oh god.......what a heck of a day I have.....thank goodness its all over.......all the high suspense drama and the cramped Chinese History information........release. That's nice. Now to tell you about my day.
We lost terribly. 3-8. What kinda score is that? Yeah.......we were thrashed by shi hui, wei xin, addelynn, audrey and keneth.........well not exactly kenneth.....I still can't believe it....something must have gone terribly wrong....why can't me, alicia, alethia, wing yiu and not exactly yong yan defeat them.......I know that shi hui was gloating when the bell rang. Lucky for her she did not do it the whole day. We had the english show & tell your book session....I think it is 20% of our english marks....I still think I'm no match for wen jie and daryn......they did quite well and I'm still not caring.......I just want my A1 in english....that's all I ask for......as for HMT....we did 'final' revision on Chinese History and I got another lolipop for answering another question correct! Now I have 3 lolipops yeah......still melting on the table. IPW is really sucky.......I wanted to do my final revision there, in the library, but Mrs Chong just kept patrolling the place like a prison warden.......and we just had to act along....like those really obedient inmates.
Directly after school, we rushed to the hall to have our exam.....and after I came out of the hall.......I was sure that it would take a miracle for me to pass....not that its difficult....but that the comprehension MCQ is hard....and I flunked it....so I'm still having queries if I'm going to fail......
After that, we had our final drama rehersel.....I was the narrator of the play......and naturally ended up with a sore throat by 4. I went home with shi hui, benjamin, zhi hao and unfortuantely Xu Liang!!!! Doen't he know that not everyone appreciates his handphone's Canon in D? Come to think of it, he got it because of me! While walking home, shi hui, ben, zhi hao and me decided to walk off w/o xu liang.....we initially had no plans....until half way there when I had enough. I just told xu liang that I saw his pencil box dropped just now......and zhi hao continued with the lie....saying that he also saw a pencil box on the floor. Convinced by our wonderful acting, gullible and irritable xu liang left us for a while before discovering the horrid truth that we had tricked him! Haha! That was elation.
I gtg now.....still have my oracy unedited......and my maths ws halfway done!

One free peroid!

Yesterday was pretty boring.......just staying at home to catch up on work....like algebra and photosyntis worksheets........I still think I'm going to fail science.......I really don't know how I'm going to pull through.......haha....I don't think you are here to hear about my anxienties......ok.......for the good stuff.......
There was no Science lesson today! Not that i hate science but its a really fortunate thing since I'm still needing time to catch up on Science........CE was fun....although I didn't learn anything since there was a kind assistant called Ms Tammy that helped me! Thanks! After recess, was HMT........we got back our spelling book and letter writing book......I did terribly for both......14/20 and 11.5/20 respectively.........what's more is that my letter writing results will comprise 10% of our SA1.....someone get me a basin cos I'm going to be sick! We revised more on Chinese History today.......since the exam is tomorrow and its going to make up 25%!!! I got another lolipop from teacher for getting a question correct again! much to the dismay of a very-enthu Shi Hui who raised her hand up for every single question. English was spent covering up on Chinese History......ironic right........we had EFL later and it was about safety......whoever likes to listen to disciplinary masters blab about safety........then after that, the teachers sprang a haircheck session. Thank Goodness I wasn't caught! But Ryan, Wei Le, Shi Hui and lot more others did.........what was really surprising that Alicia wasn't caught! Her hair was practically a MOP (no offence....but I like the style), her badge and nametag wasn't pinned on and her belt was so LOW! It's hereby legal to say now that teachers are blind!
