Who wants to be maths rep?

Yeah, I'm seriously asking this question cause I don't think I would like to continue anymore. And it's not me only, it's almost everyone in class I think. I'm the bad maths rep. Yeah, that's what they all say but who's the good maths rep? I'm also sure that nobody would want to take up this post lol. And if you don't know, I'm always the worst or the last when it comes to file checking so if you must know how to file, just file in everything according to its category including your own handwritten notes. Don't ask jinhu anymore. And whenever mdm hee is about to give something or collect something, please hand it up to her straight away, don't hand it in to jinhu otherwise it will be missing soon enough. If you ever had to collect something from mdm hee, why don't you just get it from her. Don't ask jinhu or not he will only give it to you after only half the class has left because of his fantabulous memory? If everyone thinks I'm bad, why don't you just kick me out of the rep list and appoint somebody?

Yeah, and now I'm genuinely sorry that I can't give you the answers now because I have left that piece of worksheet in school, thanks again to my fantabulous memory. So the fastest I can give the answers to you is at 8 since I have to borrow the paper from ryan and take photos of it since my scanner just broke down.

Yeah, why don't you appoint somebody else to be the responsible maths rep. I'm not responsible enough ok if that's what you would like to know. One blunder and 39 fingers would be pointing back at you. The whole class relies on you yet never had the guts to say a 'thanks' once in a while. You have to attend to late work and sometimes 2 trips are not enough. The lesson itself lies on 3.5 periods/week and the teacher treats the maths rep as her own class secretary. The teacher approaches you at the wildest times and call you to do all that tedious stuff. Worksheets would suddenly lie on your desk and you're supposed to give that all to everyone, not to mention that the next period is the split and last period and that the current period that you're having is a hypnosis session. I can do without the stress. I really can.

So who wants to be maths rep? You can start on the 1 feb, the start of the new month.

Poor malay teacher...

Today was rather ordinary I suppose andI'm posting this only because I find it interesting to write english. Don't get me wrong, I like writing, but when it comes to chinese, it gets so demoralising that I can hardly find any pleasure in doing that. And yes, Homework is infinity on high. And I just managed to clean up a lottle but. Still much more to do during the weekends. It is so mdm hee to barge into the class during recess time and hand us more worksheets on indices and expansion. Yeah, it adds up.

SRP is not the best class lesson. It should be better if we get into our groups and do some real work instead of doing utter crap. I'm almost worshipping Mr Tay. He's really the best teacher on us. Always there to spur us on and have our best interests at heart. :D It's this kind of teachers that the world lack. And lack alot. He's also really practical, telling us the best way to do well in O levels. Wahhs, Mr Tay, you are the best! As for Mr Khoo, your lessons make us kun (sleep) so if you can please stop speaking in such a 'seductively' high voice casue it will not make any of us attracted to you. Frida Kahlo is brave. Yeah, she really is. And her work represents alot of things. CI is total crap. Poorer by $10.20 after buying the yearboook.

No extra sectionals today so I sat in class and decided to finish up the english compo. Had a few retries. Next , there was the conversational malay programme, which was a total waste of money since we can heardly hear the teacher through all the noise that was created. And to add insult to injury, I even do the homework right in front of his nose. Poor malay teacher, I'm feeling a bit guilty now.

Doluri is not fun and I kena so much scolding because I can't sing well. Well, they should make it a requirement to learn how o read scores before they start calling for more members. I'm score-blind and perhaps a little tome-deaf, but still is singing material. And I've got 2 new juniors under my charge to day. Today was also the day we receive our new juniors. And I also just found out that there are only 4 tenor 1s, which is really bad. Simply too little. Anyway, one was fat and the other was thin. Both from the same class and not as shy and reserved as me when I first joined choir. These bunch of people are really priviledged. They get to join in the main choir so soon and can also participate in concerts and competitions in sec 1. I'm jealous. Yeah, but maybe not so much for the international competetion that we will take part, cause it would cost like $2000++. I feel poor. Yeah, maybe I won't go afterall.

Wyatt and Aaron can sing very high.

Happy Birthday Shi Hui and Wenjie!

Yeah, seeming that I had not blogged for ages, I shall now wish shi hui a happy birthday and wenjie a belated one. Well, isn't it nice? Both of them together. Puking image or a happily ever after. I'll leave that to your imagination.

Yeah, homework's burning serious free time schedule, so are after-school activities, like drama, choir and debate. I still think the menatl algebra test is freakish. Pretty much. It's a total craze. I shall fail and horribly too. I'm wishing to get 2/10. Pretty optimistic ehh? And higher chinese is worse. I'm faring so badly I doubt that I can even pass the express chinese paper. (and that is not to suan1 those express chinese people) You are not bad in chinese, the thing is that you're better at other stuff. I wish that applies to higher chinese, but no, you are either bound to be bad at it or bad at some other subjects. And it's just like the very nice and kind-hearetd mr tay (not sarcastic here) to warn us about this predicament and encourage us to work harder. I think he should win the best teacher of 2/2 award. He's really that nice.

And does anyone know that it's really irritating to have a 'twin brother' in sec 1. Also for clarification's sake, I have no brother(s) for that matter. That 'twin brother' really made a splash in 2/2. Good for him lol. Hope his npcc seniors will treat him better (this applies to qx,zhis and ben). Lucky he's in npcc and has some really wierd eurasian name that I can't spell out. But he's in 1/2 and looks a little like me. He also wear specs. I don't. See the difference. It's just right in front of your eyes. I'm sure that boy doesn't want to be known as 'jinhu's brother' and I most certainly don't want to be known as his 'brother either. Nor do I want to get shoved down in the queues over riots like that anymore.

Extra sectionals are not fun. Just pure drilling. Combined are better, at least you know how the song sounds like. Instead of singing your part, you get to hear others amd nd can perhaps slack abit. Just so typical of normal people. Debate was much more fun. Everything would have been perfect if not for the fact that we were learning in antarctica and just stoned for 1.5 hours. I suppose it's intersting, when we get to flex our mouth muscles and do a crossfire. It's perhaps one of the more interactive part. Definitely fun, fun and time-absorbing.

I need, want, must, should pass chinese.

Kent Ridge and Biopolis

Ready? Fire!
The really nice view from the top of kent ridge park.
The really strange ornamental piece at Biopolis
This $500k machine...better be careful!

I was drifting in and out of sleep. Had you have that experience before?

But before I explain, do note that I posted twice today (this is the second one).

Yeah, it's really surreal (flipping of dictionery). And it's like you're never sure of you're awake or asleep. The thing is that you're still pretty conscious that you're still in your bedroom perhaps through out the whole night. But you're not awake. You're also not sure if you're asleep. It's a pretty ethereal feeling (flipping of dictionery again) That's all really nice until your sister shouts at the door for you to wake up. That's what happened to me this morning.

It was a brisk walking session if you don't know what I'm talking about and it's held once a month. And as the title already mentioned the location, you should know already. It started to drizzle when we reached kent ridge. It's a really charming place and you get a great view of the commercial ports in singapore. Then the drizzle stopped. It starts again a minute later. But it ended again, five minutes later and that is the drizzle story. Strayed around the whole place till 9.45 when we head to Biopolis.

It's like the ultimate science park. The best of the best. I'm convinced, You should go there to see for yourself. The G-O-H (Guest of Honour) was the health minister and the channels newsaia crew was there but I doubt that it got a glimpse of me. The presentation was pretty illuminating. But the lunch was better. Much much better. And there's a downside to everything of course. (must-read!)

Old aunties who go there only for the sake of lunch. They even slept during the presentation and clapped extra loudly when they thought it was about to end. It's so damn ridiculous. Can singaporeans be less kiasu. The support given by those old aunties were as strong or even better, at the scene of lunch, where hundreds of them flood the queues and the stalls. Of course, there was the jostling, elbowing and guarding for their 'getting' food space. Getting is a total underestimation. They were like shoving the fried rice with a spoon into a plastic bag and later, sushi, chicken wings...the list goes on! And it so happened that I would be seeing a concealed sushi container containing more than 20 sushis in a red plastic bag of a fellow aunty. That's not the worse. There were even a pair of aunties who gladly land their butts on the chairs of our table. They didn't even ask if anyone was sitting there! And together with them, their plates, crammed with a wide variety occupied half the space for a table of 6! And we have 6 people! That means that our people would have to stand while those third-class attitude aunties started to fight with my sisters for table space. Queueing for laksa was the most civilised situation the 5-star-food buffet could be. (It's the same as those for the Mandarin Hotel!)But you still have to be careful incase an aunty who wanted to get more gravy accidentally spills some of the gravy on you. It's totally a battlefield out there. What meant to be a nice eating place became a replica of World War 2. Simply atrocious!

Of course, with their bloated stomachs and bags packed with the take-n away food, the aunties no longer found interest in the tour anymore and would look forward to getting back on their respective club buses back home. I'm completely ashamed to say that I'm from woodlands. Of course, the tour would then begin. But the tour, as expected, was a total disappointment. All we did was to enter a room and look at a machine in the span of an hour, including waiting time. And the machine didn't look all that interesting but the amount spent could buy you a big flat at woodlands. Went home full.

The BFG, Roald Dahl is really nice.

Busy week...

Yeah, this whole week was freaking busy, especially yesterday. All that homework. All that staying back. All that this-is-not-stress crap the seniors are giving out. But for us new sec 2s, that is stress. I can't remember much of the past few days, memory seems to go blank. Perhaps it's all that cramming. And maths for four periods a week is not nice. So as long as indices are concerned.

Today's pretty packed. And I could still remember how wonderful I could write for my chinese compo : 36.5/70 Looks like I really can do better. Yeah, I posting this to make my misery public. That way, everybody would know my bad points and start criticising me. haha, but it wouldn't work since I already I know I'm bad in chinese. But I will improve. But that will also depend on whether I want or not. Duhh...late for art because I was reading an entry from anne frank's compre diary. But it doesn't really matter. I'm also bad at art CME was terrible. ___ won't even hear anyone out and scold us like a pile of shit. sarah rebuke and the noise level suddenly shoots up to 100+ decibels immediately. But it's not like it's that difficult to reach 100 decibels. Appartently ___ is pretty scared of gods and when I told him about me mourning, he shut up immediately and whispered excused. That was like only 30 decibels only lol.

Conversational Malay programme was a waste of time. It was the first time I wished choir started early.

Kenneth accompanied the choir crew of 2/2 and was sorted to tenor! At first no one clapped and only when given the cue by rebecca then the whole music room broke into applause. And while choir gained a member, ncc lost a member. Tha's too sad. Ms Lim said the boys sang well but the girls sang like crap but I don't know how much I can believe of that. I'm almost tone-deaf Itsuki suddenly became the one-way ticket to rest not hell. I'm surprised. Choir ended at 6.25 and that was late consider that the time they put there was 6.15. It's like the second time we have been exceeding this year. All thanks to dear old concert. Rushed to mps immediately after choir.

Saw my mum already in the room. Apparently, zhengy kept bugging me to tell him who my mum is. But I think it's better for him to find out for himself. The talk was long sia. And that place was colder that the music room. Went home with mum after the talk. She liked all the pros.

I heard rumours of a sec1 replicate of me. Is it true?

Not a mistake...

I suppose it's not a mistake calling a bitch a bitch. But is it a little too candid to say it in front of her face. But then again, they deserve it. It's just like people to give them the name bitch for all the know-too-well characteristics. That's what define them anyway.

Today was just like any other day. Not much to do. Lessons as what they are meant to be. I think mr khoo would sound better with a sore throat. Maybe I wouldn't suspect that he has the slightest inclination to boys. Maybe. And teacher of the house today was mr din. And apparently, he was the one with the sore throat. ._. He say that that's probably made him out to be such a lenient teacher in the lab. He looks fresh out of school. He's full of empathy. He knows what it feels like. He also knows the amount of homework he gave us for CE. Yeah, it's a pretty essay. =.= But it's really not going to help the homework load. Anyway, it's just like ryan to come to my house during a stormy to come to my house to do homework. Yeah, maths. Cause it's like the most difficult subject which anyone could have an interest for. Hehe, I don't.

I need to learn more complex codes.

Tired with bitches...

It's just like you to spring me another surprise attack. Well, what you did was damn inconsiderate but I won't count it as beneath a bitch like you. Yeah, I suppose you put me in a spot and even provided a solution. It's just so sad that for your sake, your 'friends' have to be dragged along. You take away your friends by taking others friends away from them. You really are such a nice person that you make boys repel from you. I sometimes pity you for your ignorance but that never was for long, since bitches are really tough and I suppose that's a compliment to you.

That bitch deserves it. And I can't go back on my word after I promised myself to flame her in my handbook cause it really comes in handy. The past few days were pretty tough and I seem to fall asleep before 10. yeah and that's not a miracle. It's just that having more energy would really make my homework look neater and better by leaps and bounds. Maybe it's a privilege for people that can't sleep early. And those people still can be awake even sleeping for such short hours. I envy them.

Lessons are all ok. Except for Indices becoming Indecent and then need to learn how to have the discipline to do homework in the classroom, everything's smooth sailing. I even manage to finish some homework days before it's due. And that's all pretty dandy. And my whole friday afternoon was swallowed up by choir. Helped and contributed to the poster design which I think isn't much use. It ate my homework time. Choir was a tiring experience. I suppose it's not nice to repeatedly sing Mak Inang and Katakataka for three months. It's a degenerating experience and all that was done because of the open house on saturday.

Saturday was Open House and that meant a six-day week. The booths all laid out in the school were pretty nocely done up. The suit was suffocating and so were the black shoes which strangeled my feet. Practice was ok. Performance was ok. But I think it's still far off from gold with honours standard. And that's like a one-off key affair. Helped tend the choir both for a while before going around selling choir and distributing sweets to every sec 1 boy and girl that I can see. They can be easily recognised in their nametag-less uniform all brand new attires. It's easy to spot. But it's another complete different experience to pursuade them. I had to put on my best drama suit and look as enthu as I can without being too much in the face. It's pretty interesting. It was like shoving sweets into teir tiny hands and not letting them rebuke, only allowing them to consider choir. And it was a great sense of achievement when one boy told me that he will be placing choir as his first choice. Yeah, I will pick him to be my buddy the moment I see him. What a faithful compatriot.

Today was nice. We received a new disney magic score during choir and that must have been the nicest score we ever had. And we weren't allowed to take it home cause it's brand new and all. The songs are all in medley form and we only completed slightly more than a quater of the entire piece. Just then, Mr Poh had to tell us that Ms Lim wants Itsuki and Siriri by friday and everyone thought it was impossible ; Itsuki was the one-way ticket to hell. Cause that lullaby is a killer. A very ear-pleasing, voice-killing song. It's really as potent as I described it. No kidding.

You better watch out for retribution, bitch.

The 2008 teachers interview

I just realised that I haven't blog about school life yet so this little post shall be dedicated to my first 2008 school post. And that is like so great cause I will be able to be a critic again.

Turns out that our new form teacher is as nice as mrs kumar and has a very hospitable personality, very much like zhan rong. I suppose it's ok. Meeting new types of people makes life interesting. And Mdm Hee is like tonnes better at teaching cause she has style and really knows her students. I guess the rest all get the tick. Just a little problem ; Mr Wong's droning is sure to hypnotize you within 10 mins as it is said in a very 'steady' voice. Well, 'steady' would mean that the notes never change.

And yes, I manage to put the teachers out so nicely. Words really are beautiful, flexible and strong.

So is that little souvenir that alicia bought for me.

She came back today, with a box of candies and souvenirs. And sarah nevertheless made a racket as always. And alicia didn't manage to give out all the candies and left the rest for me. Yeah, I know it's for my 'family'. I suppose 2/2 nian's are family. I gave out half of the candies in the box to them and still have half left, which I really left for my family. I think someone's not happy that I got the box of candies. Well, if that's so then that's her problem that she can deal with by not being so double-sided, but still more on the sticky end. Well, good people deserve good things don't they?

D&T ws cold. literally. The air-con was on full-blast and we froze in there for 2 hours. Laughter made it warmer. But not much credits to janelle this time. And my partner was petty I think. She kept pestering me for the answers in which she doesn't want to find out herself. The Fruit Partner Game was fun. I didn't move an inch when everybody started swarming over the corner I was at. And that became the place of "You be my apple ok?". Science was boring. I could sleep. And CME was worse. mr khoo isn't exactly the greatest teacher on earth. Choir was exhausting. And the sec3 boys look friggin strange in their long pants, or are my eyes playing tricks on me? I just bought my new black track pants for tomorrow and my mum didn't like anything last-minute.

Looks like another interesting day tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone!

It still does seems a little strange that it's already 2008! It's a little too fast and has to slow down to pause and think. Reflect on that 'last year' which seems just one day ago. I think it's a pretty fruitful year. Knowing so many new friends in just one year. It does sound great. And this year has been fabulous. Lots of exploring. Exploring new grounds and personalities. It surely makes your eyes peeled. And I'm looking forward to this new beginning. I've a feeling that this year is going to be another wild ride, with mrs kumar being our co-form teacher this time round.......................these dotes represent the silence of acceptance. Accept mrs kumar. Does that sound impossible?

As a matter of fact, to celebrate and leave the end of 2007, I went to celebrate an early birthday for cousin jan by going to places with my sisters. And the definition of places is the eXplorer Kids Club at Downtown East, Inflatable Kingdom and the Botanic Gardens. Yeah, after having a packet of Loy Kee Chicken Rice that my uncle packed, we set off. And Loy Kee Chicken Rice isn't all that fabulous. It tastes almost like ordinary chicken rice. Nothing special except its price. I also used to be an eXplorer Kids Club member, but I recently received a letter which sadly tells me that I'm overage. Yeah, and since you can enter the eXplorer Kids Club with every adult free/child. I entered as an adult. And it sounds strange to be an adult so soon. I suppose I still can say that it's loads of fun, for 4 year old to be Jan, who was born on New Year's Day at 12am. It's pretty tiring inside too, and you can't hurt yourslef in that place unless you're intentionally reckless.

Inflatable Kingdom was closed on Monday. And New Year's Eve falls on Monday. Which was the reason why we didn't even manage to touch the balloon. And the name Inflatable Kingdom sounds nice, but it's actually not all that fabulous too, just like Loy Kee Chicken Rice. Hence it's only a practical measure to underestimate every blown up name or advertisement to see it as what it actually is.

So that was a wasted trip to Kallang Mall. But at least there's still that Botanic Gardens. Atlas, the Jacob Children's Gardens was also said to be closed on Mondays. But there was a guard who opened up the side entrance to allow people to go in. And even if it was open, it was closed early and we had to be ushered out of the place. No matter. Everyone was already exhasuted and we wnet back home for dinner. But before that, uncle went to Causeway Point to buy a cake to celelebrate Jan's birthday beforehand. It was a classic pandan kaya cake and we all had it after dinner, which was a sumptious affair.

I'm sure you're all bored to listen to all that I said just now. Haha, I'm sorry but I can't help it. I post what I like. And before I close this entry...

Happy New Year again!
