My Blog

2010-03-21T16:55:00.002+08:00

Spent the holidays catching up with all my undone tutorials and work. Ahaha, and I managed to do that. This victory has caused my momentum to stop churning and I am now very happily procastinating in front of the laptop.

This is the last day of the March Holidays and the last day to mug.

Mug, mug, mug. My life's centered to this. How nice, and to think that I never ever done holiday homeworks before since secondary school. I guess when the JC word hits in, you've gotta change. & I changed for the better, cause I am now trying my best to study hard.

I need to find new entertainment in studying, cause that's going to forcefully become my hobby from now onwards. Or I need to get a new momentum so I can self-push to study. Either way, it's by force and it's good for me. So let's hope I enjoy studying by then.

Tata.

Revival.

After leaving my blog to die for the last year, I wonder if it is a good timing to revive it. Hehheh, but since I've done it already, just let it be done.

The holiday homework are piling up like anything. It's a mistake to be half-hearted about it for the past 3 days of the week. Now that time is finally catching up, it's a disaster to start whole-heartedly on the undone homework. Chatting with Sherina on msn, leaving Physics tutorial to rot by the bed. Hahaha, solving the first few questions did really make me feel triumphant.

But the rest stumped me like anything.

"All JC people are on the same boat now." - as quoted by Siyan.

What wonderful friends I have. Chionging homework during the holidays. I think this first March Holidays is just a lighter example of how the rest of the holidays are going to be like for the 2 years in JC.

Oh die.

It's a gold, yeah.

HOHOHOHO, I just want to laugh it all out now.

We've got a GOLD for this year's SYF indoor.

The joy that is filling my heart is just too much, though I know many people expected more. However, we must never forget how hard we worked for this award, how many days we've spent practicing over and over again for this competition for the past 5 months. We didn't disappoint any, we've brought back what we wanted to get 2 years ago. So, we should be happy for our efforts because at least our efforts equated to the results we wanted.

Many wanted Gold With Honours so much so that we've forgotten the preciousness of the Gold award. We've also much forgotten that from the start, our objective was to only aim for Gold. I'm glad that we decided to aim for the Gold With Honours instead, because this somehow was the motivation for us to improve so much since Thursday.

& it's not solely our effort too, Mr Neo and Mr Siao has been putting in much more effort in teaching and conducting us so as to improve our musicality. We should make them not feel bad because we've clinched a Gold but instead we should appreciate them and thank them for how they have moulded us into today's Gold band.

Our indoor journey has ended, sadly. I feel so empty - it's like 5 to 6 months of practise just ended in 15 minutes. Suddenly, it seems like there is a dim light left. Before the competition, it was a bright light, encouraging us to work harder, but it's reduced to a dim light now. I just wish that band never had to end. Band really makes one's life more interesting. It taught me something - if you really want it, go all out to get it.

We've really desired for the that award, and we've went all out to get it. We felt the music and played it to the judges and appealed to them telling them how much we desired that award. Though we fall a little below expectations, we've got what we've wanted from the very beginning at least. It's yellow and shiny! XP

Band left me happy & sad memories, & I love band all the same. Ahhh, after all these years, I've realised that I'm so addicted to band.

TK Band, my pride and honour.

We'll always be the best band in the land.

2009-04-03T22:37:00.002+08:00

3 more days.

HOHOHOHO, it's time to shower some love to my already-dead blog. At least my tagboard lost only three-quarters it's life. 6th April is approaching in just like 3 more days. These few days, news of GWH bands and Gold bands were flowing into our ears. Well, really congratulate those bands, they've worked hard for it.

& now it's our turn.

We've been working hard. & we're improving, that's very consoling. I remembered some people used to say "The higher you climb, the greater the fall is" but Mr Azlan said we must be a stronger person after the 2007 indoor. I believe we are now.

No matter the height we climbed, no matter how great the fall is - at least we were the ones who took a step at a time and climb & not just stared at the top from the bottom of the mountain and imagining ourselves reaching the top. So, no matter what the results are, at least we're proud to say we've worked hard for it. Even if we ever did fall, at least we've tried climbing.

The future is unpredictable, so we should stop predicting and set our focus on what we want. We've nothing to lose anyway, so why not go all out for it?

Lucks, TK BAND.
I believe we can do it, it's just another 3 more days, stick through and improve further.

Ja!

Oh, what a significant post.

My first post for this year.

Finally spared some time to try to salvage my already rotting blog. Life in Sec 4 are plagued with tests, lessons, remedials and supplementary. To add on, the ironical fact is that those tests are privileges for us. Though I am glad, because I deserved my fair share of revisions.

I am being tortured, grueling torture to the mind and the body.

I might just burst a blood vessel. Things are happening too fast for my expectations. I can't salvage the situation now, it's too late. & to start regretting now, it's even later. I don't know how to phrase what I am thinking and to say that Blogger is no longer private anymore, that is a contributing reason. Things left me hanging in mid-air with no where to land on. I know happy people float, but what happens if you're not happy but you are held hanging in mid-air by the hand called "torture"?

I didn't expect life to be so difficult for us. I didn't expect that things could turn out like this. My expectations was just living a simple, happy, care-free life until I graduate and no longer belong to the band anymore. But I guess, such a wish is a luxury in reality, and reality is always slapping you on the face hard to remind of it's omnipresence. & reality is trying to tell me that immaturity could lead anyone nowhere. So where's that imaginary hand that always knocked senses into us?

I guess it's partly my fault and I finally understood what kind of logic they were trying to insert into my brain.

till then,
is it too late to only see the light now?

Happy boys & happy girls are We!

Today was a very good day, though my morning became with thunder storms and my afternoon was plagued with little drizzles. Went with Si Yan, Verniecia, Yi Jing, Yi Song, Shannon, Sammuel and Spencer to Pebble Place Childcare and Development Centre.

I feel so high today, and the tunes that were danced by the little kindergarten children still rang in my mind. Their cute little dances are still deeply etched in my mind.

Hahaha, it has been a long time since I was at that height.

Once you enter the kindergarten centre, you see little children excited and coming to cuddle closer to you. If you're looking at a third person's view, it's like the Giant and the Dwarf.

They were very good audiences though they didn't much appreciate what we played. They rush like bees to honey when you allow them to press the keys and valves of your instruments with cute little smiles portrayed on their faces.

The best was their performance - the Dances! Weee, I was so high that while I was sitting at the back looking at their dances, I joined in. Si Yan, Yi Jing, Yi Song, Shannon, Sammuel, Spencer, Verniecia and I were so high that we sang their song and danced with them.

I feel so high, like I lost 10kg of my weight when I was playing with them. This volunteer-work makes me feel so good. I decided that I love little kids. Hahaha. Hope to see them for a second time, I hope they enjoyed tickling my legs though, hoho.

till then,
let's get loud, let's get looouuuddd.

Ja!

Parachuting & Eggs.

Today was a fun day. First three periods started with everything that has got to do with the house meetings and games carnival. Yeah, Olivia must be damn happy now. Da Vinci clinched the overall house champion award. As expected, just as usual.

LOL, recess for an hour totally rocked. & highlight of the day was Physics mannnn.

Physics rocked, though I slept for the first period of checking MCQ. Woke up and found out that everyone swop places, being asleep, I didn't swop. Topic: Parachuting & Eggs aka Air Resistance & Gravity.

Ended up working with Zhengjia and Aaron, including Putri. Our parachute thingy rocked. No one broked our record of 11.40 seconds yet! Hohoho, and to mention that the parachute covered Yee Tat's head cause the prachute descended from the third floor and Yee Tat's head stuck out from the second floor. Wind blew, and a flash of sudden darkness!

Happy day, and tomorrow there is band!

When you know that your world's upside down, what do you wish to see? Definitely, a helping hand is out of that question. It's sad to realise that your world is crumbling before your very eyes.

Ja!

The long awaited,

HOHOHO, the end of our sufferings and examinations, the sayonara to the late night studies and insufficient sleeps! Finally, survived through these gruelling two weeks.

Today was damn fun, I guess? First time going out with Joyce alone only because 3B people had a gathering. Went to Marina at 10am and found out that Golden Village haven't open. Had a long, delicious breakfast with Joyce at Yoshinoya.

Heehee, purposely dragged our time down at Yoshinoya but still turned out that Golden Village haven't open. Was walking to the cinemas when we saw Ming Wei waving at us. Turned out that Ming Wei, Hong Wan, Bobbi, O Wen and Robert were bowling at the arena beside the cinemas.

What a coincidence.

Watched them bowl, clapped and cheered. Ming Wei always missed one pin to spare, Owen always gets his spare with his "lucky blue ball"! Hahaha, I think we made the most noise in the bowling arena.

LOL, at first only Joyce and I went to buy tickets to watch Painted Skin. When we returned with the tickets, Ming Wei and gang suddenly said they wanted to watch too. So bought tickets for them, luckily for the GV membership card. Tickets at cheaper price!

The movie was... explicit. Hahaha, shutted my eyes at many parts, unlike the rest who are so brave to watch the movie through. I still don't get the rating of the movie. PG with explicit scenes. The whole cinemas only got 15 people, cool right?

Fun, it was my first time watching a movie with all of them! Cried with Joyce at the end and offered tissue. LOL, the boys were laughing -.-

Enjoyed my after-exam movie.

Short update to announce the revival of my blog.

JA!

2008-09-18T22:16:00.003+08:00

I didn't want to get anymore to do with blogging, especially with the EOYs next week and a Chinese Mock Exam and Physics Quiz on the way tomorrow. Well, since SOMEONE tagged on my blog for a quiz, I shall just do it. Hahaha, I'm kind of bored facing physics notes anyway, so why not?

If I get any long long quizes from anyone next time, I will make you do it too, Bobbi. It's a promise. Luckily, your blog allows right clicking, unlike Kenneth's. Haha.

The English Level Test totally stunned me today. I stared at the paper for 20 mins and looked around to see no one starting to write. Yupyup, the storyline of my composition is pretty cliche and random. I hope it makes sense. Joyce got tricked twice today!

The two final tests tomorrow and I'll be rather free for the weekends to start on any major revising, I guess.

-

1. If your lover betrayed you, what would be your reaction be?
Ohh, find out the problem behind the betrayal and get over it soon. I may not forgive the person though, it's unethical to betray a person's trust.

2. If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?
Hmm, a happy world void of problems.

3. Whose butt would you like to kick?
I don't like to kick butts, nobody specific in mind.

4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Give my parents a good life, get the money to buy some entertainment with my friends, buy the latest gadgets and a hell lot of serials/dramas.

5. Would you fall in love with your best friend?
Ehhh, depends.

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved.

7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
If the person is worth it.

8. If the person you secretly like is attached, what would you do?
Give up and switch targets. It's unethical to continue liking someone who is attached, makes me feel like a third-wheel.

9. Is there anything that has made you extremely happy?
Food, Band, Laptop, Serials/Dramas, Friends and Family.

10. What takes you down the fastest?
Conflicts between friends, cold treatment from anyone I find that is important to me.

11. How would you see yourself in 10 years time?
Taller, probably still studying very hard. LOL.

12. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My family and friends. Humans need love from their family and friends to survive, you know? Haha.

13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is? [BOBBI]
Someone whom I click well with, a nice person & English PRO. Best friend who will support you whenever you fall, I guess? Haha.

14. Would you rather be single or rich, or married but poor?
Depends, which makes me feel happy but I would prefer slightly above the average.

15. Whats the first thing you do when you wake up?
Throw whatever that is on my bed that is throw-able to the destroyer of my slumber, shut the alarm if it is the thing that woke me up and stare into space.

16. Would you give all in a relationship?
Hmm, probably. Depends.

17. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
Vital background check and hurry pick one. It's not very ethical, makes me feel like a person who doesn't cherish the preciousness of love.

18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing someone has done?
Hawhaw, depends if the person is important to me. After all, Mr Siao says that if the person is not important to you, you don't have to care about that person at all. Haha!

19. Do you prefer single or having a relationship?
Depends, both bring good and bad points.

20. If a handsome guy said 'i love you' to you, but you dont know who is he, what will you do?
Weee, run away?

List 5 people to do this quiz:
Si Yan, Verniecia and Joyce.
Whoever is interested in such a quiz.

JA!
no more blogging till end of EOYs then :)

Leadership, batch gathering & fun.

I know it's abit late to post about this now, but haha, I'll just post.

Sunday was one super fun day that I had. Though I had to be awake at like 5.45am to attend the Leadership Course for Band Students at ACJC. Have to say thanks to Bobbi for accompanying me. Met him at 6.45am, when the leadership course is starting at 9am. We had to go to the MRT station in school uniforms and that made us look weird. Just when I was wondering where Verniecia was, she smsed me to board the train's first carriage, suay suay, a train came then we boarded it.

Bobbi and I boarded at the middle carriage then walked through the carriages to look for Verniecia and the group. LOL, how many armpits we had to crawl under. Euw, then we realised, we're on the wrong train. Immediately got off at Bugis then waited for them before boarding.

Just when we thought we were the earliest, we arrived at the MRT station to see Leslie already down there. Haha, waited for a couple more people then we went off to ACJC. Our group is the biggest. Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser's talk was interesting and it inspired me alot on the subject of leadership. We played relevant games that actually showed us what it is like to earn the motivation through various maturity levels. Bobbi almost won 10 bucks! Well, I successfully widened my comfort zone and made new friends.

I won't post much about the laws of leadership. Many people posted about it already so maybe just blog hope to theirs to take a look. What was most educational to me and most memorable was the attitude and leaders always do things more. If we're able to stretch more then we think we could, then we should make ourselves stretch more so that our juniors can improve. Lead ourselves before leading others. I feel better after listening to him.

MRT-ed to Bugis for Yoshinoya before going to Verniecia's house with Bernice to take the birthday cake and change. Then the party began when the rest of the batch arrived. Apparently, we were the earliest. Belinda's house was ENORMOUS and beautiful! Had fun barbecuing, eating and hearing ghost stories.

All these activities forms beautiful memories forever. If I had the chance to stay over, I would have enjoyed more I believed. But I'm contented that I actually get to spend the day out with the batch. Thanks for letting me have a good time. Thanks to Belinda for her kind hospitality and Bobbi for journey-ing with me through MRT and walking. Thanks to my fellow batch mates for letting me have a good time.

until then,
memories are always treasured.
Ja!

Xin Yi wants me to update, so I shall be nice and give a short short update. My life is boring, what do you expect huh, Xin Yi?

It's abit late to talk about the SFF now but it seriously rocked. The Sec 4s came back to see us and bonding with section was done. Enjoyed the beautiful fireworks show those two nights, that's what those tickets are for I guess.

School's ending and my break is sashaaaayyyyiiing to me.

I haven't done my book review and spent the one hour and ten minutes inside 3B playing Text Twist Turbo and QF's PSP. Haha, the drum game was so cute. Today was cold and I was glad I brought my jacket along to school. Had Band today and saw a section mate leave the section again. I will try my best though, continue to pull the section through, can't fall before the others do.

Watched "Sky Of Love" for HCL lessons last week and it was like... I don't know. Many people say it is touching but eh, what I saw and what I heard doesn't go together. Perhaps it's because it is only the beginning.

I talk to myself and I find myself going crazy. I hope my overall academic results are good enough, though I am satisfied for certain subjects.

Thanks for being in my memories and thanks for being a friend of mine. I won't forget whatever I did with you. Burdened with troubles that seemed too immature and too hard to allow any understanding from anyone, pull me through, God. Keep my heart safe in your hands. I'm just silly, you know? It's just impossible to hold on to a dream that's not even within your range, know your limits I guess.

Ja!
till then,
teach me how, don't ignore me now.

2008-08-16T23:30:00.003+08:00

Yups, common tests are over.

4 days, 8 subject papers. Just like that, and I got one paper back already. I expected worse but I was rather glad to have this nice result down here, thanks God.

Band resumed today and we had a long, long session of debriefing for KLWMBC. Oh, missing KLWMBC. The 4 days was a short duration but it was long, beneficial learning journey for me. I am not much in the mood to post about anything today, I don't know what to type at all.

Well, I am still waiting for the common tests results. Let's hope everything will be fine. Managed to watch the Olympic Swimming Event this morning and saw Michael Phelps clinched his seventh gold! I was practically screaming at the television when I didn't see his name in the top 3 during the first 50 metres. LOL, then went for the batch lunch planned this morning. Had a fun time playing Verniecia's laptop and beating all her high scores for 3D Pinball.

Had a new Sec 1 to join the section today! I'm so happy and excited! Haha, hope she enjoys being in French Horns then. Learning to accept is a skill.

把一个人刻在脑子里，好好珍惜，不管那个人有没有守侯在你身边，你都会觉得心里多了一份牵挂。而多出来的那份牵挂就叫 ——— 幸福

Ja! :)
till then, God bless me.

08.08.08

Had a very nice National Day celebration today. It was different and reminds me of the National Parade that was always shown on TV with the army inspection and everything. Fell in at 6.30am and I had to wake up at 5!

Puff says that he will be early cause he is taking a car but he arrives the latest? Wee, how ironic. This year's NDP made the school people highhh. & I feel great because I am watching Beijing Olympic Games 2008 - Opening Ceremony!

Went with Joyce, Verniecia, Bernice and Yi Jing for lunch after the National Day parade at school. Had a nice long chat with Bernice, Verniecia and Joyce and I believe that improves mutual understanding ehh. I feel happy and contented.

"People must learn how to be contented then they will be happy you know?" - does that sound familiar.

Common tests, with only 4 days to study. Hong Wan was complaining alot lar, but I think my National Day will be busy. Busy because I became the host to a party. No sleeping ler!

Just a random picture with a Singapore Flag stuck in my instrument!

Short post,
JA!

2008-08-05T22:16:00.003+08:00

We're back, people.

KLWMBC was totally immbaaa. There were so many good bands down there and it really made me open my eyes to the others and truly realise that we're not the best, outside. It was fufilling and definitely very fun! I learnt so much in so little time. Our batch became more bonded together and we're united. Band members rock!

We won Bronze on the preliminary rounds and Silver overnight at the Grand Finals. I was so glad. Saw many bands at the Street Parade the night before the preliminary rounds. Slept late and woke up early every night. I feel so slack when we went back to the hotel after a short practice. But a short nap makes miracles.

Funny things happen. Yeah, I didn't do the thing you wanted me to. Shared rooms and everything. 4 days passed very fast and I didn't really want to return to Singapore. I made acquaintances with the band members from Thailand and Holland's Bicycle Show Band - Crescendo. Cool, we're like all so small sized.

Glad that I actually had this chance to be exposed to the outside world of international standards and really glad that we achieved something. Thanks to my fellow batch mates who comforted me at the night of the Grand Finals, it means alot. Glad that the whole batch is kind of bonded well. Glad for everything.

Tired, slept in all classes except sleeping in A Maths Lecture for I felt a sense of satisfaction when I solved a math problem.

However, that sense of satisfaction can never beat what I experienced in KLWMBC! Miss it badly and I need a dosage of band practice. Glad that there is one tomorrow, at least we get together as a batch in band again! I'm not glad to back from KL yet, too short!

Haha, Ja!

2008-07-31T22:46:00.004+08:00

OH, KL

Yups, leaving tomorrow at 7am. Cool right? I've been waiting to go overseas for any reason available but it is taking a toll on my studies. Nevertheless, it'll be a pleasant experience and a enjoyable trip. I'll miss my house, bed and privacy, my parents and brother. Suddenly, I don't feel like going but you know that I'll turn up tomorrow anyway.

Had a light band practice today with tagging and loading of luggage. Had to collect plenty of stuffs from QM. Today was FUN, seriously. Hahaha, I think I had my share of fun. Tomorrow's KL trip. Considering who I am with, let me pray that I enjoy. Haha. Just had 2 games of checkers with Bobbi! Fun larrrr.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR AZLAN! :)

Perhaps it was wrong to open and the salvation method would be to retreat, soon. Bubbles are cool.

Random.

Missing Singapore, till 4 days later then.

Ja!

2008-07-24T22:30:00.002+08:00

Aichi Meiden concert was WOW!

I totally enjoyed the concert! People were screaming whenever the Aichi Meiden band members appear. I won't miss it for the whole world. Yups, I didn't. We didn't arrive early enough to get good seats but I was glad that I was seating at the aisle - can see many stuffs that people can't. Hehheh. They are so multi-talented, so multi-talented. Be it singing, dancing and playing, nothing stops them!

Their voices was WOW, dancing was cute and playing was superb eh! Glad to spend money on this concert and I loved the HORNS. First time hearing Deep Purple Medley being played LIVE. I don't want to sleep tonight! Took blurry videos but some clear pictures. Might add it the next time I post.

School's as usual and everything, so farewell.

Ja-ne!

2008-07-08T22:22:00.002+08:00

Oral's officially over.

Well, I hope I did well. The question was out of the blue. School days are as tiring as usual, I guess. I was supposed to do Physics but I didn't bring the book home. Recently, I think my memory deteriorated. Let's eat brain food.

Band today was short. After the oral was the killer Chemistry test, almost an integration of everything that was tested before. Well, I don't think I'm going to pass well. Tomorrow's a new day and I don't have to get suicidal over a paper.

Let's hope tomorrow's a better day.

Exhausted.

Ja-ne!

2008-06-27T20:47:00.006+08:00

An Outward Bound Journey ; DA-GAMA

I take back my words & I survived!

The camp was more fun then expected. I made many new friends, I was excited? I guess so. I thought it would only be a bonding between my class but it was the whole school being thrown around and sorted into different groups.

I've learnt many things, heard many inspiring stories and learnt to appreciate and cherish whatever I have. Outward Bound is indeed very educational because you won't listen to a teacher in a classroom telling you to appreciate whatever you have unless you experienced a life without those material-things you have at home.

Group Name : Da-Gama

Instructor : Jonathan

Members : Hong Wan. Robert. Sun Yu. Charissa. Yi Jun. Michelle. Josephine. Hazel. Daryl. Darren. Jonathan Goh. Tyson. Timothy. Ajay. Rachel.

& I love Da-Gama, totally.

-

Day 1 - Tuesday 24 June 08

Arrived safely at the multi-purpose hall at OBS Camp 2. Got sorted into groups and met new people in my group then got introduced to our instructors. Jonathan collected all of our handphones and valuables to protect them so I was disconnected from the world for 4 full days. Had briefing and played many lame games, but I still enjoyed anyway. I became Food I/C with Michelle but we were pretty useless because he suck at distributing food. We played games to learn to trust our teammate, pitched tents and had the height-element test. I was height-phobic, LOL.

I'm starting to forget what I did but dinner that night was disastrous.

-

Day 2 - Tuesday 25 June 08

Had Physical training on the second day then went to do the height-element activity : Flying Fox. Jonathan Goh belayed me and was like downstairs laughing about how slow I am in climbing the ladder. Hahaha, I'm height-phobic. What to do? Plucked every ounce of my courage and did the Flying Fox.

A rush of wind and my feet touches the ground. Hahaha.

Afternoon activity was trekking (land expedition) our way through three checkpoints with heavy backpacks to the next campsite - Kekek Campsite with no help from Jonathan at all because he emphasises that he is a tourist. I guess this trains our navigation skills and independence. Mosquitoes and insects are plentiful. Work well as a team and managed to finish in time. Jonathan took out his fly swatter and swatted a huge mosquito on my leg without warning me. Hahahaha, I had fun times with my group members. Went for a life-vest test in the sea then had a jump into the Kekek Quarry lake.

A rush of wind and I found myself trapped under water. Hahaha.

Jonathan told us scary stories to make sure we went up fast because we were staying in the water for too long. Dinner was maggie-noodles and mine was stiff. Slept in a horrid campsite and I didn't managed to sleep well.

-

Day 3 - Tuesday 26 June 08

Woke up late! We were supposed to meet at 6.30am and we woke up at 6.22am. What fun. We didn't even do the sentry duty. Hawhaw, let's just say we can't wake up.

Formed a human chain and delivered our backpacks onto the boats. Then we had kayaking lessons and we watched a demonstration on how to maneuver our kayaks and the capsizing activity was SHIOK.

Kayaked (sea expedition) with Tyson and Sun Yu on the same kayak. & I realised why we forced Sun Yu into the centre. Because Tyson's peddle hits his back (then I'm pardoned cause I was in front) and I pour water on Sun Yu whilie peddling (Tyson spared because he was behind), so let's just say - Poor Sun Yu.

5km of journey and 3 hours of keyaking. Our boat always get hit off-course when people collide into ours and you can hear Sun Yu's complaining and nagging. Reached our destination and washed the kayaks and had a little water-rinsing session. I have an ulterior motive for washing kayaks. Bobbie was the water man and he's my friend. So I took the chance and rinsed myself first. Hahaha, evil.

Third day was much free-er because the activities were almost done with. Then I had a very good laugh while packing the store. I saw Darren forcing the raisins down Tyson's throat then Tyson grabbed and handful and started eating when Sun Yu and Jonathan Goh walked over and asked if they got the pack that was on the floor. Darren asked why and Sun Yu and Jonathan Goh started laughing before they confessed that it was the pack that they trampled on before dumping it onto the floor. Tyson immediately went to the dustbin to dump the raisins on his hand and puked. Hahaha!

Third night dinner was buffet-style because we realised we had plenty of food left! Hahaha, breathed in too much solid fuel fumes. It sucked. Had trouble finding our lost equipment but we managed to do a perfect store.

Day 4 - Tuesday 27 June 08

Finally done our jetty jump in the morning at 7am when the sea water was freezing cold. Shouted out a commitment before we jumped. Mine was - "I want to try to overcome my phobia of heights." Then I pulled onto Jonathan's hand for support because my legs were numb and walked to the edge. He was - "By doing this?" I was like nodding furiously and I hesistated before jumping. He told Charissa to wait for me, hahaha. I had company!

A longer rush of air and emptiness and I was trapped under sea water and sniffing some water through.

Had to wait for Hazel because she was a non-swimmer. Robert's way of jumping was...accidental. Hahahaha!

Packed the store and ran about in my wet clothes to clear rubbish and look for missing items. Our group worked together to find missing items, so fun! Managed to have a little chat with Jonathan before we received our photos and certificates and writing the evaluation forms. Bought an OBS T-shirt for memory and left for home. SO GLAD.

-

Da-Gama needs the service award! Hahahaha, took alot photos with our instructor and the group. The fun shot was carrying Jonathan on our arms that were arranged like a mat. He was impressed with us! Hahaha, so fun!

"Your mind must be like a parachute. It is only useful when it's open."

"Egg, Carrot and Coffee Bean."

"Struggling through the cocoon, becoming a strong butterfly."

"Cherishing and appreciating."

Jonathan tells inspiring stories and I love Da-Gama! Carrying the memories of OBS with me throughout my life. It is a long post! I had so much fun and opened my eyes to many things and learnt many too.

OBS - Outward Bound Singapore & Others Before Self

Da-Gama

Ja-ne!

You know,

OBS is tomorrow, or more correctly saying, in like maybe 6 more hours for me. Hah, let me pyscho myself one more time so that I'll enjoy this camp. I never really liked camps.

First day of school reopen was okay, rather slacky due to the missing Choir members and the new timetable change. No one really brought much books anyway.

Yeah, I hope I make it through the camp safe and sound.

OBS - that doesn't sound that bad.

God bless,
Ja-ne!

Band Camp.

My blog is dying, or already dead.

Haven't been updating the past few days is due to camp and the month is due to laziness.

Camp was overall fine, I guess. It is so-called "finally" time for us to plan the camp and it was not that successful. First-timers we were and we failed quite badly. Training was fun and we lights out at 10 this time due to the intensive training we're having throughout the three days.

I've learnt alot and opened my eyes to new things, things that I've never learnt and never saw as a junior. Well, technically, I am still a junior but a senior too. It was a wonderful learning experience. I'll miss him.

Just a short update to keep this blog alive.
Ja-ne.

2008-05-25T01:40:00.002+08:00

Never in History, so far.

Today was the historical band practice.

We stopped outdoor at 11.30 (I think) to play Captain's Ball! Believe it? If you don't, you'll have to. Hawhaw, I was the captain for Team 4. Team 1 is Ee Zheng, 2 is Xing Jie, 3 is Kenneth and on and on. Hahaha, first off was Xing Jie's team and Cherlyn's team. Then Cherlyn's team got beaten then Yi Jing's team went on to fight Xing Jie's team then Yi Jing's team won.

Haha, then it was my team to fight them. I was the captain! Despite my mild understanding to why I needed to stand on a chair to catch the ball when I have phobia of heights and phobia of balls, I just stood on that sickeningly wobbly (to me it felt this way) chair.

Missed a couple of catches as it was hard to score. The rules were 1 goal and you win so the game got violent, like obviously. I had a sense of impulsiveness to ask Mr Azlan to allow me to get down from the chair and play on the floor as a Captain. I don't like the wobbly feeling, I felt like falling.

And I did fall! Hahaha, I think the defender in front of me was Joel. The moment when I caught the ball, the chair rocked violently and I fell off! Hahaha, Michelle runs to me immediately as I fell off the chair and she kept asking me how was I. Wahahaha. I was fine after hearing that the ball I caught was considered a goal and continued with the game. I think I pulled someone along with me when I fell off the chair. LOL, apologies.

Game was interesting. It was hard to beat Ee Zheng's team from what I observed and it was harder to beat Zul's team but Kenneth's team managed to and had a 4-in-a-row victory. So cool, then every team was fighting to be on the court. LOL.

Haha, the last match, Sec 2s and 1s trashed the Sec 3s so badly. It's like sixty fighting sixteen. Obviously, the lesser numbers are the Sec 3s. Hahahaha, it was fun. But I think this is the last time we'll get to do this. I don't seem to think that it will happen again.

& I had a good nap in the afternoon because Band was dismissed at 1. Hahaha, woke up late and a bad hair day turned out rather fun.

Ja-ne!

2008-05-22T22:33:00.002+08:00

You know, Joyce is urging me to update my blog to save my dying tagboard.

Haha, been addicted back to anime and threw away the Taiwan serials for the moment. Currently, I'm enjoying Howl's Moving Castle and Naruto. Oh wells, everyone says I'm crazy about them but, hehheh, anything.

It's collection of report book tomorrow. Gah, I'm going to get lashing for shitty results. Yeah, 10 in the morning, it could have been my resting day but I chose tomorrow for parent's meeting so I'll have to go back to school.

Life's been pretty boring, I'd have to admit. This week in school was total slack and I slept in all classes, of course after the lessons and rest time, when you have nothing to do.

Bazaar was a good day today, it rained only after school, thus granting me a good 2 hours to enjoy the "Pie Whacko" thingy or whatever you call. I thought business may be good but it was only average. Too expensive. But I considered myself lucky for I didn't get bashed while people paid money to bash other people.

Especially HUANG LAO SHI, she paid 5 bucks for Victor to get thrown with whipped cream and Jian Ting another 4 bucks for 30 seconds freestyle throw with flour. I was whipping up the cream in the stalls for most of the time with Shirley. Boy, it was fun!

Our first batch was like butter and second batch of whipped cream was just nice but not put to use. So, when the bazaar ended, I threw it away but before it ends up in the bin, I smeared it around Brenda and my hands. Our hands turned FAIRER! Wth.

Yeah, it was fun. Very. My last bazaar, I'll miss it.

Who cares about winning awards, we care about fun!

A nice symphonic suite from Princess Mononoke or better known has Mononoke-hime.

Enjoy!

-

& Joe Hisaishi is talented, I'm still addicted to Naruto.

PS/ Pause my blog song and enjoy the suite!

Ja-ne!

2008-05-13T22:45:00.002+08:00

Ah, how torturous.

Well well well, isn't one week after Mid Years all about results?

Hehheh, I think I sucked.

But well, a meaningful phrase that I came up with to come console myself.

"God helps those who help themselves." - Stand up from where you fall, don't shed a tear and continue walking. Life's one long journey."

-

"What do you have to say to me?"

"What? Must I tell to anything?"

-

It's not that I don't know that I am in the wrong, but trust me because I'm rebounding eh! Mid Years are going to be my stepping stone for better results during End Years.

I believe so, so work hard.
In the midst of repenting & plentiful self-reflection -

Jaaannneeee!
(so long, farewell in Jap)

PS/ Latest obsession is Naruto and Vern's pissed with me cause my conversation revolves around Naruto and Naruto only! :)

2008-05-08T21:48:00.002+08:00

An end to 2 weeks of HELL.

Like finally.

It passed pretty fast though, I have to say. I hope to pass for all subjects and I don't feel like failing anything now. But considering the crap answers I wrote without thorough consideration, I think the possibility is 0.

I screwed even my good subjects like Higher Chinese and Chemistry. Hawhaw, now I think I'll get trashed! I even dreamt about my report card with all F9s! Chemistry SPA's Hydrogen gas burned my nose badly. Enough about that sad stuff, let's get on with life.

-

It's like my 2nd time going out with the 2E-ians. Pathetic, I know. The number of class outings I went with them is countable with even 1 hand, because it is only 2. Yups, we went to Suntec, walked to Citylink then to Raffles today. At first, we're supposed to have Long John but apparently, Si Yuan mistook the place and we decided to eat MOSburger because Verniecia and me dislike Subway but sadly, it was full-house.

Then, we went next door for Burger King. After that, they went to buy the famous FRIED MARS BAR but we passed by a gift store so I decided that Mothers' Day present was of priority.

Si Yan, Si Yuan, Shannon and I went to buy the tickets for the movie Ironman but we passed my MPH and decided to go in for books. I saw Twilight! Tempted to buy that new one cause my old one is wrecked but I decided to be a money-saver.

Hehheh, I left after buying tickets because I didn't join in the movie and Si Yuan and I were talking about animes. Then I passed by Action City and saw Joyce, Verniecia and Sharon inside. As expected cause I told Joyce TOFU is being sold there. They asked me to go try that Magic Candy box and I got shocked by the super strong vibrations.

The rest should have been there to see Sharon's face. When I went - "OOOOHH!", she turned pale and gave up on trying the Magic Candy box. Hahaha, my hand was numb and Sharon was like so guilty that she massaged my arm for me. Oh, she's so kind. Hawhaw!

I'm really happy that I joined the class gathering for today. 2E-ians always rock!

Always & forever in my heart,
2E'07

Exams, exams & exams.

Gross.

The first week of exams are finally over so let's look through what paper's we've completed.

There's English, Chinese Paper 1, History Elective, Social Studies, Physics, FULL Geography, A-Maths Paper 1 and E-Maths Paper 1.

Summary: 4 subjects completed.

Gross. I think I chose the wrong questions for Full Geography paper today. I did all on Rivers & Coast while I left my Plate Tectonics lying around somewhere at the back of the mind. I left my first 10 minutes to review the question and I thought that differentiating the Hydraulic Action and Corrasion was easy. LOL, but the remaining questions behind weren't!

My room's an oven and I'm preoccupied for the Youtube Videos on BBT Boys and my books!

I guess that ends my mid exam post.

One word - GROSSSSS.

I have a feeling of impending doom for my papers. I'm flunking!

BYE!

2008-04-16T18:57:00.002+08:00

Hi, I'm back. For a while.

Haha, found a quiz on Wan Ling's blog so I just decided to do it. By the way, I didn't run my 2.4km today! I played softball instead. Haha. I had a spring test on Physics that I didn't even realise that that "lg" on the paper represents Logarithm. WOW, my graph was beautiful with the "Paper Clips against T" and it turned grossly ugly when it was "lg of Paperclips against lg of T".

Plus, I think I screwed up the Geography Level Test today because I didn't understand what rubbish I was writing to answer the questions. Or maybe, I didn't even know what the question wants. I'm just glad that I remembered facts about the delta after all.

Tomorrow's Thursday & I'm being random.

2008-04-15T21:50:00.003+08:00

Back to reality.

It's back to reality because Competition is over. No more using Band as an excuse to shield you off homeworks and tests. It's weird having no band after my Chemistry and Physics quiz. I was prepared to go change into a band shirt when I realize Si Yan is outside my classroom waiting with her bag, not with her band tee.

Then it dawns upon me how much I like band. But reality is, I need rest. Just had my NAPFA yesterday and it caused my muscles to ache like shit. Now, I try not to laugh or sneeze too much.

Yesterday's speech at morning assembly was another knock on reality's door because what I saw in Ming Wei's hands was not that huge trophy I saw at the National Stadium, it was just a Gold With Honours medal. Madam Nora was strong to deliver those words that were like stabs to everyone's hearts. Mr Lee encouraged us alot too. The whole school gave us applause. I really felt like tearing at the moment but I realized that there was nothing to cry for.

Because I know that this year's lost is the motivation for the next batch, for 2010. I know we'll return stronger on the field.

I think the Chemistry test and Physics test was destroyed by me. I'm destroying my marks and grades. WOW.

"The greatest glory in life lies not in never falling, but in rising after every time we fall."

Redefining Excellence, we shall.

Here are the videos of yesterday's competition.

TK Band

& Deyi Band

2008-04-12T23:31:00.005+08:00

Outdoor's over.

Yeah, today is THE DAY. We've accomplished alot though we didn't get to defend out title. When I heard that we've got Gold With Honours, I thought there would be more. It happens that the desired title for us and the gleaming trophy went into another band's hands.

This four months was gruelling and tiring. We've sweat, we've bled and we've complained. I used to dislike outdoor. But now I wonder, deep in thought, outdoor is fun. It's the time where we showcase what we're good at. This year is a not that good year for us.

Honestly, I feel sad and disappointed to lose that title to another band. We're 166 shining stars in the universe, we're the stars and the field at National Stadium is our universe. Gold With Honours is enough, if we never win the Best Display Band title.

Many shed tears and sweat. As I look at the National Stadium, a sense of nostalgia swept pass me. I was here in Sec 1 as a flaggie and I'll never forget the day that we've won the Best Display Band title. Now, as a Sec 3 and a member of the main block,I viewed the field. I've put it my all, my effort and my everything.

I didn't know how to cry after hearing the words that were once filled with the name of our secondary school. I've forgotten how to cry I guess. As a true champion, it's not just all about winning and losing, it's about how we bounce back from failure.

2010, I'm waiting.

The school cheered us on even when we never secure the title. They gathered right behind our banner and actually cheered for us. Hopefully and happily, there was no jeering at all. I'm glad. It touched me because the school loves us.

I feel that we disappoint Mr Azlan too, but he was much braver and much stronger to face reality and consoled us. Mr Azlan loves us too! Yay, I feel glad because we're still one family, with Mr Azlan and Mr Sumitra leading us and Belinda, our "mummy" supporting us!

"It's time for us to be reborn from the ashes of our failure."

"I see 166 shining stars on the field, because you all are still my stars."

"I love you, TK Band. You're the champions in my heart."

"The war is far from over."

It's time.

2008-04-11T21:48:00.003+08:00

It's reduced to hours.

In 19 hours' time, we'll be on the field. Final outdoor for me and I will miss it. Let's hope we'll hear good news tomorrow. Yeah, let's be our magicians on the field, we'll show the world what we can do. It's our potential, our purpose and our title. Saying that I'm not nervous is self-denial. I am watching my motivation now because I think I seriously need it. I'm trying to convince myself that I am not nervous but yeah, it's self-denial once again. Sizzling hot tomorrow, set the field on fire. I don't know what to post.

Days passed fast, it was in January when we started training and poof! It's April 12 tomorrow. & I don't want rain tomorrow.

Kudos to my motivation - a nice video.

TK BAND - A Decade of Excellence.

Please enjoy.

SIZZLE, Band, Sizzle.

Today was pretty much lethargic. Yes, 5 more days. Pain is torture, yes, but whatever you sow, you'll see it bear fruit. To us, its a gruelling 5 months but the title is worth it, I believe. I screwed up pretty badly yesterday and I feel very, very bad. So, let's sizzle and get it done. After all, what is 5 months compared to 5 days, and what is the title compared to that mere 5 days? We want that title badly, very badly. Let's sizzle when we can and set the field on fire!

2008-03-28T22:27:00.004+08:00

I'll never forget today.

March 28, 2008. It's Belinda's birthday and we went to Parkway for dinner - Fish & Co. again. I believe that we're a lucky bunch of people. I truly believe that, for we are still loved by Belinda. We're her best batch! & I'm proud to be part of it. There's 15 more days I guess, so let's work hard and win the award. It's my last year of outdoor anyways. LOL.

We're a failure at planning parties. We did everything last minute. Rushed off to buy a cake, gang up with the staff from Fish & Co. and Quan Feng and Bobbie went to buy a book named - "Bunny Suicides, 101 Ways to Kill Yourself" and they did not know that Belinda's zodiac is a rabbit. Fish & Co. staffs are so cool and so enthusiastic, I love their cheer. Thanks Belinda, for the treat. It's ironical because we're supposed to be the one treating her.

By the way, the performance at RSS Sports Day was ....

Pictures speak a thousand words.

Batch of 2006-2009

Quan Feng and Bobbie went home with me today, thanks to them or I don't dare to go home ehh.

I think that's all for today,
bye!

2008-03-25T20:45:00.002+08:00

18 more days.

What significant words. It's getting nearer and nearer. I think I'm going to score badly for the Pure Chemistry quiz, it's biting into me. I can go buy some raffia string to go prepare to hang myself because of that E-Maths Level Test. I'm seriously screwing that up very badly.

The plentiful homework piles on my desk. I seriously need Vitamin C before I fall sick. E-Maths is all about Circles and Their Symmetrical Properties. So what has their properties got to do with me? A-Maths - Surds and Indices. I'm failing next Monday's A-Maths Level Test.

Today's band practice was not that tiring I guess. Time passed quite fast and sectionals is tomorrow. I am strongly enduring the instrument tomorrow. Final. Tofu is therefore burnt.

Byes!

2008-03-12T23:33:00.003+08:00

BREAK CAMP LERRR!

The long, 4 days 3 nights band camp was broken yesterday! It was enjoyable, very. Though it was supposed to be "long long" but I felt that it passed pretty quickly. Auw, I am starting to miss band camp.

-

DAY 1

Checked in to 2G and found out that Ethel's classroom is so dirty. Waaa... French Horns, Euphoniums and Percussion share dorm. Which means - I sleep with Joyce and Vernieica!

First day was okay, only saw the sun on that day out of the four days of camp. Si Yan has been complaining why the whole band got sunburnt except the Horns. Too bad, we're in front. Hahahaha, actually I've quite forgotten what I have done that day. JOYCE HAD NOSE BLEED!

Night was doing gimmicks and later dances to "I Will Survive" the standard song. We had a mini cheering session later and our group chose GLENNN. That poor guy always got sabo-ed by us lar.

Haven introduced you to my group.

GROUP 12 - GODSPEED (at first) /FIRESTORM

Group Leader - RACHEL

ASS. Leader - WENDY NGO

Sec 1s -

Glen.
Dylan.
Hui Ying.
Cheong Min.
Jing Xi.

Sec 2s -

Humaira.
Joel Tay.

Sec 3s -

Vernieica.
Cheryln.
Sher Ting.

Yeah, how our group name changed is all thanks to Hong Wan. Someone snatched his group name so he snatched ours. I lost to him at "Scissors, Paper, Stone". So diulian.

-

Day 2

It rained and rained the whole day. We proceeded to another field to practice. It rained when we are in the field and stopped raining when we seeked shelter. My gloves on the field is a longtime gonner.

Nothing interesting for the day part for it was like a routine to us. The night part was watching our own performance. A silver standard. Wells, expected larr. I think I sucked in that video. I saw the 2006 SYF and it was really goooood. Went to sleep early that night. Mr Azlan concluded that we have NO culture at all! We laughed at everything in the video he showed us!

-

Day 3

Did the usual routine in the day, nothing to elaborate.

The long awaited nightwalk was good.

The usual ghost story-telling session built the atmosphere. My group was terrified by Mardiah's station. At first, one person is allowed to go in only. Guess who we pushed in? GLENNNN.

The next station was Jia Min's station. Then Joel, Glen and I had to crawl under the table to search for the clue.

Then for the rest can no longer remember but Joel and Glen found alot of clues. Just no ping-pong balls for points. The story I crapped up for the nightwalk was CRAP. Didn't complete all stations though. Hahaha, a regret.

-

Day 4

The last day of camp. Rained and rained the whole day until I fed-up larr. Go to field then rain, go to hall then stop raining. But we gave up and did one run-through in the rain. Had to clean up our instruments because rainwater can corrode our instruments alot.

I have to say something, I enjoy taking my group! Though we didn't win anything but I still love Group 12! & I enjoyed the camp very much.

-

Today is March 12, 2008. It's exactly one month from now to our competition date. The feeling of anxiety is slowly enveloping us. I was so tired that I slept at 11 last night and woke up at 12pm today.

A sudden fetish for limegreen.

Byes!

2008-03-01T23:05:00.002+08:00

Yet again, a change in blogskin.

This orange one is cool and I love orange! Well, reasons being that the previous skin made my tagboard so skinny and I dislike tagboards being skinny so yeah.

Today was just another day of Band. Had sectionals early in the morning at 7.30am then lasted all the way till night of 6.55pm. This practice almost shattered my neck and kneecaps, broke my feet and my arms. I don't feel my kneecaps, hands and neck after I fell out.

LOL, it's 1st March already. Leap Year is over. I want to go watch the movie "The Leap Years" and my L- Change the world larrr. Joyce watched it for the second time already while I haven't even watched it for once.

Dead beat. & Quan Feng found the meaning for "band" - a group of primitives given the permission to leave in Canada.

Do I look like a primitive or does the band look like a group of primitives? Hahaha, I laughed at the screen.

I'm being a retard again.

Oh! Band camp's approaching again, let's hope it's fun.

2008-02-29T22:00:00.003+08:00

Common tests are over, but the results were a torture.

Haha, I've gotten all papers except the Combine Humanities and English so let's hope I score good grades for these two papers & especially these two. So far, I am quite happy with my results as this is the first common test. Except for Chemistry, Physics, E-Maths, A-Maths, Chinese and Geography. Well, see see, it's so far all the papers I've got back.

CARELESS MISTAKES!

I am happy for I passed both maths and physics!

The day has been boring so far, band restarted again. Yeah yeah, 43 more days counting from today. My "dozing-off" came back again so let's hope it goes away. It's the LEAP YEAR! I want to go watch L - Change the World larrrr.

I'm being retarded.

Yup, bye.

2008-02-16T22:35:00.002+08:00

It's time for me to post. Maybe because I felt the threat of my blog dying?

Honestly, I've wondered about my purpose of starting a blog when I don't even have the time to update or I have nothing to update about. My life's boring.

It's Valentines Day three days ago. According to Michelle Goh, it was also S.A.D. She invented it and it stands for Single Awareness Day, short form - SAD. Hehheh.

Common Tests are catching up and it is just three days away. I am wondering how will I fare in these tests. It seems...difficult. My future is bleak? NO!

I am greedy person, I took three of Joyce's Korea souvenirs. This whole week passed fast. Let me hope that Common Tests are easy.

When I took a look at the band schedule, I wasn't that very much surprised. It was expected. It's less than 2 months away, so why not throw in every single bit of effort and get done with the competition? Yeah, tell myself that. The effort will pay when you see the results. You will go telling yourself, I've accomplished something!

Very much crazy today,
bye!

2008-02-01T23:37:00.000+08:00

TK Road Run today turned out unexpected.

It rained. Wahaha, went to lunch with Verniecia and Joyce then took bus 10. Who knows, even before we got to the tentage to take attendance, we saw Ming Wei running to us telling us it's cancelled.

It rained and poured then. We saw Hui Jun, Li Yu and Si Yuan standing in the rain. AND THE SHELTER IS JUST BESIDE THEM! Hahahah! Me, Joyce and Verniecia, not caring the mud splats, went into the shelter.

Shannon's mother is so kind, she offered us a ride and squeezed a whole lot of 8 people into the passenger's seat. Shannon's house so big! My first time going there, haha. Ate his mum's maggie noodles.

Sammuel, Shannon's brother, is so much cuter then Shannon and he rocks lar! Hahaha!

Short post tonight,
bye!

2008-01-19T22:09:00.000+08:00

Long time no post.

Actually it was not that long anyway. First part is about my birthday bash, which was rather short due to time constraints and I had not enough fun with my section mates yet.

There are only two words to sum up today's band practice.

Scorched and burnt.

Apparently, half my neck and half my face are burnt. One of my arms are burnt too. You know, half of my body is in the shade and the sun was shining 45 degrees at my face. Not in temperature wise, angle wise.

Yup, did and learnt new things and that's all.

Exhausted,
bye!

2008-01-14T22:24:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

But overall, today was quite a suay day for me.

I made my CHOICES, so I hope I can get my first choice and I will enjoy.

bye for now, just wishing myself a happy birthday!

2008-01-12T23:01:00.000+08:00

Physically exhausted, mentally strained.

Today was yet another 9-6.30 band session. According to Michelle, it should not be considered tiring although it was really tiring today. We learnt new stuffs today but should we be glad for it's not full-fledged outdoor yet?

It's just 3 more months. How scary time flies.

I haven't done that History concept map yet and I dislike to do such things. Sometimes, I might think back to being in 2E because it's more free there and everyone knows you. You don't feel shy at all when presenting some stuffs. 3D is like a total new class - and I am anti-social. I hope she forgets about that map.

Oh Joyce, you have to be envious of us while we are using the auditorium! Because History Elective students use it first! Too bad! Hahaha, I'm being mean to my Lao Po. What if she kills me the next day? Hahaha!

Friday was sleeping day for I slept since like 3.30 till 9.10 at night then went back to sleep 2 hours 20 mins later after watching D.Gray Man. I feel energetic today but I still feel tired and sleepy. Sleeping too much is no good either.

Bye for now.

2008-01-05T23:55:00.000+08:00

Today was Sec 1 CCA Recruitment Drive.

Mr Lee praised us for doing very well and he had a long talk with all of us. He appreciates our sacrifices and he told us that it would all be worthwhile when we look back. Perhaps, we may have forgotten about a very difficult A Maths question we solved in the O-levels but memories of Outdoor Competitions will follow us for a long, long way. It makes sense.

Well, about the CCA Recruitment Drive, it was combined with the Investiture where the Sec 1s become official students of Tanjong Katong. We provided every single piece of music for the investiture except the school song.

About recruiting Sec 1s, some were interested but others preferred other CCAs. It was glad to see many Sec 1s crowding about the LCD TV that we had displayed to showcase the many different outdoors. Many joined, some were uninterested but others okay. Hahaha, KJ got scared by a certain Sec 1 who said he will see him in band.

It was all the same experience again but we were more cheerful this year. Obtained the steps to new formations today. Everything was done in the hall due to the rain. Well, secrets can't be leaked so I shall stop!

An exciting experience today due to the 11 hours of band!

Bye for now!

It's the end of School Week 1.

I'm glad to enter 3D and meet new people but can't stop the habit of juggling around the other classes to look for Si Yan, Joyce and Verniecia. The 2E 2007 is scattered every else where. The hectic school week has been, well, hectic!

New teachers, new classmates, new books, new sittings and new classroom. Every single thing is new. I love the teachers who are teaching my class! My new year resolution failed partially because I still doze off in class and I am trying to cut that habit off me.

I hope that I won't fall asleep in class anymore, I tried pinching myself to keep me awake but that weak attempt to do so failed. Who in the world will feel pain when she/he pinches herself/himself. So that ridiculous thing that I am doing had failed.

Improve, improve.

Bye for now!

HAPPY 2008!

Today's the first day of 2008. Hawhaw, I went for Watch Night Service at my church. It was wonderful. The pastors talked about acceptance. One particular pastor happened to use something as an example for acceptance.

He used to do BG-relationship with the Youth Service and he did a survey. He asked the boys what do they look for in their future partners. 80% and more said that their future partners must have long hair.

***CONVERSATION***

Pastor: I did a survey with the Youth Service and I was dealing with boy-girl relationship a that time. So I asked the boys what were they looking for in their future partners. More than 80% says their future partners must have long hair.

Church: -laughs-

Pastor: So imagine you married a wife with long, glossy, shiny black hair. After you married her, she cuts her hair. Then what do you do with her?

Church: -laughs-

Pastor: So it happens that every female keeps her hair long until they get married then they snip it off. (LOL, no offence to females with short hair.)

Church: -laughs-

***END OF CONVERSATION***

This conversation kept my laughing for the whole night. The main point is still about acceptance. We must learn to accept for we are parts of the body, parts of Christ body. The body is not a part, it is made up of many parts and every part is significant.

That was what I learnt for the night!

There is a really nice song that the church sang for worship tonight!

The title is "Praise Adonai". Adonai stands for The Supreme Lord. I think it is in Hebrew.

Enjoy & Happy 2008!

Oh new post, new post.

Today's Secondary One registration day. Activated at 8.30am and deactivated at 1pm. Went to a certain field and there was so bloody hot.

Scorched, burnt and exhausted.

My neck and arms hurt. I didn't feel energetic today so I guess "sluggish" applies to me. My neck and face is hot. I pity my arms and every part that had turned dark, when will the colour return? Doctor said that the sun can spoil my skin and it will produce more oil and thus more pimples. That is probably the reason why I was desiring to return to Korea.

I think today's degree is 37. Korea's is -7.

See the difference! Wii's bowling rocks (random).

Bye then.

2007-12-16T17:50:00.000+08:00

Chef Tofu is back from Korea.

Oh well, my adventure in Korea was surprisingly nice! I didn't even want to return to Singapore. The cold weather there is so good that it was such a great difference from Korea. Enjoyed alot and tried different things.

Back for band yesterday and found out that I had missed out alot. Plenty. Wonder what will life in band be like. School's opening is approaching soon! This year is just over like that.

All for now, bye.

2007-12-04T22:20:00.000+08:00

My first blog post after recovery.

Sick and terrible for 3 full days and missed 2 band practices. I missed the drills competition as well. The best news is that FRENCH HORNS WON THE COMPETITION!

I am proud, but not conceited. I am happy for my section, though I did not take part in the competition. Just two practices and I missed out so much, until I got so confused on the field without knowing what to do when they shouted, "A! B! C! D!". I don't even have a place in those blocks. Pity, I am missing five, or maybe with better luck, four practices when I go for my holiday to Korea. That happens to be the most important week because the formations are coming out and I am missing that week's practice.

Bored.

Just felt like updating for the sake of December's archives.

Saw my attendance percentage - 98.4%

I want my attendance percentage to be like 100%? LOL. Passion, enthusiasm. It seem's rather lost, just like some lost child searching among the streets for his/her parents. Ah, rather metaphoric.

只要有你在的地方，世界就在我脚下

Bye?

It's Nadia's birthday!

Oh, Thailand Water Festival live in TK again.

Today's band practice is okay, it wasn't tiring and somehow we were all hyper today. Perhaps it was due to the fact that it is Nadia's birthday today. Had drills and music sectionals in the morning then broke for lunch. BK BK! Woo, my dear fish burger.

It was combine, drills and music playing in the hall and the most fun thing on the field. Shh, it's top secret, unspeakable. Sorry horns, today I dropped my mouthpiece. Oh, there comes the punishment. Luckily it was not a torturing band practice today.

I love the birthday bash where we sprayed cold water on Nadia. The only difference to when we had it the first time when it was SL's birthday was that Nadia actually wet us too. She grabbed Vinnie's bottle and started attacking us. I got wet, Vinnie got wet. She hugged all of us but I pushed her away, slightly. LOL, Vinnie even said, "You hugged me already."

Today is the fun band practice. I love it. Thanks God, for granting my prayers yesterday night!

By the way, I am the lastest addition to 3D (sue to the delay in receiving the letter)! Hehheh, with Lee Jianting, Hou Sheng, Fang Ning, Cheryln and alot of 2E people! Hehheh, Donkey No.6

"Oh, so now the Baboons(B) and Chimpanzees(C) outcast Donkeys lar!"

Trust in the lord.

2007-11-19T22:25:00.000+08:00

Band was tiring on Thusrday. Run, play & run and play. Had three full rounds of that. Then, the 2E people began falling. Si Yan fell forwards, Haziq fell sidewards and I fell sitting down. It was very fun though tiring.

Today was tiring band for we had dirty fun. No one went to school with me today, I am all alone. It has never been this way before so I felt, lonely perhaps. Tiring but fun! Whole day was clouds and no sunshine, wind and rain. How I love the weather!

Depressed, for my letter is not here yet. I want to get into 3B with Si Yan, Si Yuan, Olivia and everyone inside!

OH, physically exhausted.

Bye!

2007-11-13T23:15:00.000+08:00

Today was fun, though tiring.

Optimism really works on me, I guess I learnt something new today. Honestly I don't mind if every outdoor training is like that before we start on something new. This post will be short, very short for I am tired, perhaps exhausted.

Badminton helps, or maybe I have had enough sleep. Learnt a lesson - sufficient sleep is important. I love running to the centre line than run back to play the music. Today, our side of the goal post have 3 horns only. Hehheh, my round tone.

Short post but farewell greetings are not exempted,
Buhbye!

2007-11-10T21:36:00.000+08:00

Back to band.

Oh hell, skipped half day on Monday to see doctor and missed band practice for 5 days in a week. My constitution sucked. Just recovered and still on medication. Medication nearly killed me for I was half conscious, well not really but maybe one-eighth conscious.

Drills killed me. Went to school with white and clean shoes, just washed, and came home with my brown and dirty grass filled shoes. & I threw it back into the pail for washing. My legs had mud-spa. WOO! I took a bathe of half and hour and washed myself thrice!

Had punishment today due to someone's carelessness but that person didn't seem to care either. Anyway, I stress that it has nothing to do with me since that punishment is already OVER. That four-lettered word means I am going to forget it sooner or later.

Today's training session is like an alarm for me. It tells me that I must hurry go toughen up myself for such trainings are becoming plentiful. As usual, I am working hard to find the other half of my enthusiasm & Joyce is working hard to find her passion. Somehow, in terms like this, passion and enthusiasm actually means the same thing.

I won't give up! Though the training and punishment killed me! And I shall fix up Joyce's blogskin for it is screwed, as what she told me this morning. She actually pulled me aside to tell me a secret, which is important as deemed by her. It turned out to be - "Lao Gong! I tell you an important secret, MY BLOG IS SCREWED!"

LOL.

Optimism, I believe, will lead me through my darkest days.

Pity, for I wanted to be by your side.

2007-11-03T21:57:00.000+08:00

I had band today, again. Went through the same things and basics, again.

Marching, drills and music. Running 4 rounds around the field with shuttle run today, banged thrice against people. My left arm almost flew off. Now, my enthusiasm for band is halved. I don't understand why though. Joyce lost her passion and is working hard to find it back, I am thinking hard to find the other half of my enthusiasm.

The chalet was good, as what I heard from Hui Jun and the clique. It seems that they enjoyed very much for they didn't want to sleep until 3am. Verniecia and Joyce went back to the chalet halfway during band.

I was the only Sec 2 today, how fun.

Today is a day in which the Thailand Water Festival happens LIVE in TK right in front of my eyes. I was one of the participants too, well I guess when it's your birthday you get SABO-ed. SL was splashed with cold, icy water all over and he was drenched to the skin.

Credits? Michelle, Me, Vinnie and Wen Hui.

Honestly, I've never tried those before. And truthfully, if I have a chance, I might just want to try it because it seems so fun. Of course, is the material for SABO-ing is only water. Plain, icy cold water. No whip cream and other funny stuffs. I believe Horns wouldn't go to the extremes. Hehheh, FUN is the key word.

When you're having fun, nothing seems to matter.

PS/ Awards Ceremony at Channel U 7.30pm featuring Fahrenheit rocks!

It seems that seeing you smile had made me forget everything...

So long,
BYE!

2007-11-01T21:30:00.000+08:00

I can't enjoy the 2E chalet tomorrow, what a pity.

I believe they are going to be enjoying whatever activities they have planned over there while I will be quietly sitting in my room, surfing the net like an autistic child. The ironical fact is, I don't suffer from autism but I behave like one. I'm used to being anti-social plus 80% introvert. Thinking far from now, Joyce, Verniecia and Si Yan must be happily packing their luggage for tomorrow's chalet.

Band was tiring today. From 10am till 12.30pm was drills all the way. I believed we slacked quite alot when the person who was taking us drills was Ming Wei. The Sec 3s viewed us from above their classrooms at the second floor. Felt scared, haha.

They don't include the XIAO ZA BOR. Felt terrible when she laughed from the 2nd floor. There she stood, performing the way of drawing a circle above her head when we were spinning 270 and mocked at us for our spinning because we resemble ballerinas and drills. Ming Wei and all of us were so pissed that we were cursing under our breaths.

Had a miniature marching session showcase and it was fun.

It's over anyway so I don't care anymore.

Lunch was fishball noodles at Katong Shopping Centre with Joyce, Verniecia, Si Yan, Yi Jing and Shannon (-.-). I drank my favourite chocolate oreo drink and my troubles about the morning evaporated. That's how chocolate works. Michelle came back for band!

Indoor from 2pm to 3.30pm then outdoor sectionals. It was fun for the outdoor sectionals, haha. Then drills and marching with playing and everything. It was tiring, but fun. Perhaps it was due to the fact that I found my enthusiasm back for band. Ran three rounds around the field & I almost died. The fifteen push-ups were okay but I did on the pavement with Joyce for our skins are sensitive to the field. It was better on the field because the pavement was rough. It killed me.

I jokingly told my section that my sexual orientation was towards girls. What the hell was I thinking when ACTUALLY my sexual orientation was towards boys. I need a psychiatrist, not for my sexual orientation but my sudden outburst of craziness. I AM NOT LESBIAN!

You never realised, I felt wasted...

So long,
Rach!

2007-10-30T23:17:00.000+08:00

2nd post of the day.

Band today was fun. Went to school at 9 plus due to committee's meeting for the Be-Our-Guest project. Went for band at about 11am and realised that I missed the drill session for spinning from 10am till 11am. Missed out on the attendance game too. Did warm up and split for sectionals to do Utopia and Persis. Jet came back for band! Wth.

Went for lunch with Joyce, Si Yan, Verniecia, Yi Jing, Bernice, Quan Feng, Leslie and Shannon to Videoworld. Ate about 2 cup noodles and had a pack of Green Tea. Went back to school with umbrellas though it wasn't raining at all. LOL, and I actually think I looked stupid but still continued with the umbrella walk.

Came back for band and combined in the auditorium from 2.20pm till about 4pm without the supply of air-con. Everyone was complaining about the heat. Went for outdoor sectionals till about 5.15pm before falling back at the Assembly Plaza. I didn't find today's drill session tiring. What a miracle. Jet cannot be timer! I swear. His timing nearly killed me. & perhaps the rest of the band.

Played Utopia with and without hentak. So fun! We've improved! Sectionals was the best! We were laughing throughout the whole sectionals and Ian had trouble commanding us for his bad throat. Hahaha, spoke about Jet behind his back. Haziq and Jet were arguing about Jet's butt and Haziq's posture. What a joke. Ian had to repeat the "Hey! Hey! Stop talking, shh!" for a couple of times because Jet gave up on Haziq.

Bonding, bonding. I found my enthusiasm for band again. Should I be happy to say that? It was not a hard day today. Not that hard. I enjoyed pretty much.

One more thing! Mr Azlan can read through the line for hidden messages!!! He read Joyce's comment from Madam Yeo.

"Actually, from this you can understand what is she trying to say. 'Able to express new ideas... maturity...' means I HAVE NO CLUE."

" 'Sensitive to peoples' feelings and ....' means SHE IS VERY TALKATIVE."

The rest I cannot remember but I was laughing like hell when Mr Azlan interpreted the message from Madam Yeo. Hahaha!

if you ever realised... I've enjoyed the good & bad times with you.

So long, my dear friend,
Rach!

IT'S THE END OF 2E 2007!

It's rather late by now, but at least I posted.

Friday 26 October 2007 12.20pm marks the end of the ever wonderful 2E'07. After being in the same class for two years, I am sad to say that we are changing classes next year. Well, some of us might end up in the same class.

Being in 2E taught me about the innocence of life and I am glad that 2E do not face classroom politics. I've gained many fun experience when I am with 2E and the fond memories will continue to live with me.

2E taught me how to play Mahjong, one of the interesting games that Earthlings ever invented. 2E taught me that competition was healthy, just to strive for good results. 2E taught me to fight for what I want. I will seriously miss 2E.

Well, we cleaned the classroom at the last day and had an hour of recess. But I sneaked up to play Mahjong instead. Indeed, I am currently obsessed with Mahjong. Well, perhaps we should not use such a serious word, maybe interested?

It's the start of the holidays and that marks the start of 10-6 Band practices as we are preparing for Outdoor 2008.

2E'07, in my heart forever.

if you ever realised... I've enjoyed the good & bad times with you.

So long, my dear friends,
RACH!

Post 141:

I swear that TK Alumnus rock!

IPW Conference happened to be really informal after all. First was VP's speech about Passion. They invited Mr Norman Lim, a former TK Student, to give us a talk about projects. God, he made the whole auditorium burst with laughter. His talk made sense after all.

Number ONE criteria - must have recovery plan.

How is that so? We must have the "US" spirit. Not the country US but us as a word. We are high class living organisms. We are multi-cellular organisms, unlike amoeba, a uni-cellular low class living organism. So, when the amoeba beats us, US must recover to whack the amoeba!

Number TWO criteria - know where you are going

When you meet a wall, stop and think of a way to eliminate the wall. Never ever bang your head against it. After all, the wall is made of cement, bricks and mortar.It will be harder then your head. If you bang your head against it, you will not get a breakthrough. You get breakdown ah!

Number THREE criteria - "In the land of the blind, one eye is KING."

Know how to lead well.

I would love to hear Mr Norman Lim's speech again. He puts in a very informal yet interesting way to educate people about the "Never-Say-Die" spirit. Indeed, what he taught us are relevant to what we have to apply in life. When I read his profile, I was shocked! Liquid Armor, I don't know what is it. LOL. He shall be my inspiration to study hard for next year!

Talking about Secondary 3, really headache. Combination problem.

It is so difficult to choose what you want next year. My head aches when I see the combination table. They make it seem that Humanities are more important then Sciences. I seriously do not know what to put. But it is either the Pure Geography class, Literature class or the Combine Science. I want to take Biology! Yet, I don't have much capability.

Nevermind about that, for US WILL RECOVER TO WHACK THE AMOEBA.

So long, my dear friends,
RACH!

2007-10-16T23:06:00.000+08:00

LOL. I am back to post after the long one month HIATUS. Exams are finally over and I am free, though the results are not what I wanted to see. Should I say that I was overly confident for the maths paper that I scored so badly or should I say that I have psychic powers for I predicted the score of my maths paper? Cause it really did came out what I had saw in my mind.

First day of school after the long 5 days holiday is a torture. You bring nothing to school and you do nothing in school. I am glad that I passed English though it was a borderline pass. But hey, at least it was still a pass and I am glad that I don't have to leave the school at the end of the year. Literature dropped. Dropped like siaooo. My text-based. Oh shit, it was such a disappointment. My essay was rather okay but if I added in the part about irony, I guess I should have scored better.

Chinese was my most satisfying subject so far for I still topped the class. Should I rejoice or should I be worried that the last three papers that are going to be given out tomorrow? I am worried about SCIENCE. That's the most important subject for this year and I hope to enter at least a Double for now I know that Triple is no longer an option to me. I hope I can score well to get 65% and above.

I am really relying on GOD nowadays. For I wondered, what is the use of studying so hard when the results are so disappointing. Perhaps I shouldn't have studied at all. LOL, but when I think of it, it angers me. Totally. I stuffed myself with books for that period and absorbed everything I could but I only got such results. What happened to my SA1 and CA1 period?

I feel so depressed. If depression could be measured from a scale of 1-100, I guess my scale would have already burst!

XOXO!
Rach!

2007-09-02T00:59:00.000+08:00

GOING BACK TO HIATUS -

Reasons are as follow:

I am lazy.
I am watching X-Family.
I am studying.
SA2 coming.
Nothing interesting to update.
I am watching animes.

With joy & byebye for long,
RACH!

2007-08-26T17:30:00.000+08:00

The expected had happened and I am fearing my hearts out now. Give me some peace and spare me from my own fear of failing maths. I just have to fail maths every year I guess? TOUCHWOOD!

PS/ Finally back from HIATUS, I guess.

My common test results are quite fine except for Maths. I just have to work hard and tomorrow's SAIL TASK. The task that will either help or ruin me. I just hope Fang Ning and I could pull it off and pass as well as last year. I guess what I need now is just that tiny bit of confidence.

It feels much better if we can type our problems out.

Dear God, guide this lost child here and get rid of her fear. May you bless that she passes maths for Final Year and passes well so that she can get the ideal combination she wants.

AMEN.

Byebye!

2007-08-08T14:33:00.000+08:00

I finally update, on today, National Day Eve. Our nation is celebrating her 42nd birthday. Tribute song -

Yeah,MY ISLAND HOME by Kaira Gong.

Lyrics are as follows:

This is my home
She's everything to me
Grace and beauty
In all that you see

My island home
Wherever I may be
I never will forget her
Nor will she forget me

Chorus ^
And I will sing
A song of home
A land of peace
Where dreams are born everyday
My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me ^

My island home
Home of my family
This is my future
Where I want to be
(This is my future
This is my home)

Repeat Chorus x 2

My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me
A part of me

Later events will be posted tonight. Meanwhile, I shall take my nap.

Adios!

2007-07-28T23:14:00.000+08:00

GOSH! I went back for band at about 9 in the morning. Freaking 40 made me wait for like 20++ minutes and I got fed up when everyone is waiting for me while I am so late. When I reached the bus stop, Si Yan and Verniecia were memorising Jupiter Hymn and it suddenly came rushing to me that I haven memorised that song. I was going to die.

Had outdoor for 1 and the half hours. After a long interval of not doing outdoor since 30 June, the prospect of doing outdoor was killing me. Wrong, it nearly killed me. My horn felt so heavy and the last 3 run-throughs were the worst. I cannot endure any longer and my hand was seriously trembling. Then I recalled, how did I managed to survive the June Band Camp?

Sectionals was double-tonguing and flutter-tonguing, something which I never manage to acquire. We Are Singapore is the highest song that I have ever played and it killed my lips. Singapore Anthem is the best! Jupiter Hymn was quite okay but Haziq cannot catch up to the tempo.

Had punishment after band. As usual, you will find that Haziq and Habib are missing. While we were cleaning the floor with turpentine or thinner that killed and burnt our hands, they were having a sumptuous lunch and waiting for their movie to start. I was famished! Then proceeded on to Videoworld for lunch. Ate quite alot then I went home, without saying bye-bye to Michelle.

Dinner was good and took a nap of 2 hours and 40 mins.

With joy,
RACH!

2007-07-24T22:23:00.000+08:00

Tuesday is Literature Day and I had that Literature Essay test in the morning right after the pledge. The question was fairly easy and I managed to finish writing the essay in 20-23 mins. Planned the essay quite fast and got all the relevant points down, at least I think I did.

PE was raining and I did stretching to prepare for the NAPFA which was like all the way in the afternoon at 2.45pm. Failed to play captain's ball and the weather was cold cold cold. Many people fell sick. Joyce had fever and YiJing had the same too, I am still with my voice - gone. Yeah, did not managed to speak alot and I sounded pretty much like a boy.

HCL, I slept through a little as it was tiring. I admire HCL as sometimes, Mdm He will tell us about the rich history of ancient China. It is interesting to see a legacy and a set of written words passed down all the way from thousands of years ago.

Recess, as I went down late due to that stupid riddle of JOHN and JOHNNY, I missed the meatball noodles and ate chicken rice, again. English was oral briefing and I was talking to Nazri who is currently at Shannon's place about Harry Potter Book 7. Fred died and George lost a ear. How anti-climax. I am so not going to watch the movie. FRED and GEORGE are like the hottest guys in HP?! And one lost a ear and another a life. -.-

Maths was a not much of a miracle, I dozed off a little and did the victory sign under the table when the bell went off for the second period. It was about Pythagoras' Theorem - boring. Went for IT and totally slacked there like siao. There is no need to elaborate.

After school, I only ate a bag of curry puffs and one packet of WANG WANG. Went for NAPFA test soon after and my stomach growled at 5.30. NAPFA was quite okay and I never failed any of the task. Sit-ups is 2 more to A, Shuttle Run is a D, Inclined pull ups is a C, Standing Broad Jump is a 145 - E. I broke the record of 141! Sit & Reach the best - A, 46! NAPFA took half my life off while band punishment took the rest. Michelle, Ian, Benjamin and Nadia were amused by my voice as it went several pitches lower. Michelle sympathised and told me not to play too much while Ian kept laughing.

The playing of JH halfway triggered my throat and I began coughing non stop until end of band. Damn, I was so embarrassed. Had a wonderful dinner and am now pondering over the stupid PW report. God save me!

With joy,
RACH!

2007-07-23T21:23:00.000+08:00

How shall I start the post with? 40AD!

40 Anniversary Dinner

It was held on 21st July 2007. I thought I was supposed to fall in only for the dinner part but have to fall in at 12.30pm for decorating the hall. French Horns, Euphoniums, Saxophones and Trombones were in charge of decorating the hall. Then we carried 32 tables and 64 benches from the canteen. It was damn heavy!

I had a sectional lunch with Ian, Michelle, Wen Hui, Vinnie, Haziq, Brian and Jet at Parkway. Then I was coughing, having flu and a little fever. I ordered Haziq to buy Panadol Cold without giving him tips! Ahaha, and I ate chicken rice. Standard lar but Michelle took all my skin away because she said I cannot eat. Jet went to buy LIANG TEH for me. Managed to suppress the fever.

The table cloth for the tables were interesting. The librarians have to photocopy scores to cover up all the tables and plastic wrappers were wrapped over the scores so that they won't spoil. The stands were covered with the itenery and menu for the dinner. I cannot eat the otah, prawn paste chicken and seaweed chicken but I still ate the seaweed chicken. Hehheh, Michelle was controlling my diet. Took alot of pictures with section and Ian finally allowed us to take pictures of him without him hiding. Ahahaha.

The performance was good. The percussion was good and I enjoyed the performance very much. Joyce was looking very DAO. Ahaha, she had a fever too! The best was the SPARRING and SHARING session. The catwalk was waaaa. Hahaha, the contestants all so brave! After all the events we had to clean up the hall again. Then, was damn tired and went home.

What a nice section photo ehh?

SUNDAY 22 July 2007

Sunday was a tiring day too. I woke up at about 11.20 and went for tuition before watching Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix. Went to Great World City and watched the movie. It wasn't as anti-climax as what people proclaim it to be ahh. I have to admit that Daniel Radcliffe looks better with this hairstyle then the "auntie" hairstyle at Harry Potter 4. This story has not much of a climax because it serves as a link to Harry Potter 6 & 7. They changed the story a bit too much but well, it was still good.

Today

Today was the worst day. I went to school with a broken voice. Everyone was laughing at me for having the voice that of a boy. History test was shit. I didn't even study, and I have a strange feeling that I am going to fail that dumbass test. My history project was good because I got like a 20/25. Geography only got B, so sad. Tomorrow is stupid NAPFA. Why of all things take with the whole cohort?

Just watched the ending of SWITCHED! Very cute! I was thinking whether to join Chinese Literature. Hahaha!

I am still very anti-social.

How I wish that you were always here beside me, sharing my happy moments & helping me through the saddest days of my life. How I wish you were here to shield me from the rain and wind, for I know as long as I am in your arms, even the greatest storm will not post as a fear to me.

"I wasn't sure if forever was a big word. They say time will dry the tears, but true love burns for a thousand years."

With joy,
RACH!

My modem was down from Monday to Wednesday before my father finally fixed it and I got my internet back. It was a miracle that I managed to survive without the internet because I've been so dependant on the internet since Primary 3 and MSN since Primary 5. I still have the phone though... Now it is my light's turn to be faulty. It went shimmering and I had a headache. So now, I am typing in the dark.

Today's lessons were rather slacky. I had my wonton mee! Special Activities was learning about my dialect's culture. I didn't much know that Cantonese enjoyed chinese tea, I thought it was about boiling soups and Dim Sum. Then Science was about the SPA Skill 3. Had I known that Mdm Rubina will go through, I won't fret about the answers.

Maths was Sets and Venn diagrams. I have the faintest idea of how they even work when they were included into the word problems. At least I didn't sleep in class during maths and I paid full attention. I had chilli-filled Wonton Mee during recess and Si Yan and Verniecia was commenting about how crazy I am to put so much chilli in my noodles. Haha.

D&T was quite okay, well, I found out that I have a certain talent in filling. I filed Hou Sheng's turtle shell which are like 2 different sizes into the same size with very smooth curves. Well, I always use a whale as my project and whales are curvaceous. A small excerpt of the Thailand Water Festival happened in our class today. Heetesh, suddeny felt like throwing water onto somebody and I almost became the target. Weee, he hid outside the girl's bathroom and threw the water right into Chandni's face! OMG!

Then Chandni tried to avenge herself when she wetted the whole role of girls near the window. Goodness and Literature was enlightening! HCL was sleeping time. Mdm He talked about how to summarise the chinese sentences and she went past me and faced the class. This means that when I nap, she will not know and I went on to nap. Joyce actually said that I look weird when I sleep with my eyes open. Well, I'd rather look weird then get caught by Mdm He when I sleep.

When I woke up, she came to ask me whether I understood. I just anyhow nod my head and somehow, I felt guilty. I didn't even pay attention.

I am anti-social and I only realised it now.

With Joy,
RACH!

Friday the 13th is such a suay day. Goodness, I have to pay so much money. Skipped my piano exams! Yay! Science was fun again! Biology is such a fun topic to work with. Mdm Rubina didn't come to school today and Mr Chen took us again. We did the CAPSULE Experiment. Pictures, pictures, pictures.

Before,
After,
Look how pretty this green is? Hahaha.

Capsule bursting in hot water,

What we did to the beakerWhat we did to the sink,

Hahaha, green is such a nice colour. That brown powder is amazing! Science is amazing.

Maths was MIRACLE. I didn't sleep! Mrs Lim was so confident in Manish that he can do the Math sum and he really knew how to do it. Hahaha, miracle. I didn't sleep and never even dozed off. Goodness. Recess I ate curry noodle. This was the reason why I call today a suay day. Terrible, the Sec One boys cut my queue and they kept fighting for who should take the first place. The two guys among them stepped my foot three freaking times!

English was worst. Spelling is like a flop. Before the spelling, as usual, Mr Teo will tell us that honesty is the best policy. Then it moves on to our school value - Integrity and next it becomes Cheating cannot last forever. Well, I agree with his theory. Then for no reason, he picked up two crunched up paper balls on the floor near the dustbin and anger engulfed him instantly. He started scolding the litter bugs and say that they were worst then dogs, resemble a monkey and universal idiots. He kept pointing to himself and tell us say, "Next time before you litter, think and your conscience will call you the greatest idiot of the whole wide world. I will say that you are universal idiots."

He repeated his theory of universal idiots for one whole period before he finally continued with the spelling. I slept through the last 15 periods. CE was terrible!!! David's Diary the video traumatized my soul so deeply. There was no need to see the video, the music was strong enough to make me scared. I wondered if one day I will turn out like that. Everything was forgotten when I stepped out of school and into Videoworld with Fang Ning.

With joy,
RACH!

Imeem's 30 seconds trial listening really pisses people off. Suddenly, my blog song by Tank became only 30 seconds and I had no choice to change it to another song by Lin Jun Jie. Well, it is not bad. His new album West Street, directly translated from Chinese, is really not that bad. Thursday was as usual and today has no English lesson. Special Activities was slack time for all of us returned to class and studied for our Science quiz.

Science was all about completing that concept map. Si Yan and mine had no more place for extra information but we managed to squeeze the information in. Haha, Si Yan's small intestine wall with villi looks like cactus in the desert. Then it was the supercoiling! Damn fun, the picture is here.

We were so angry that our 1m wire could not fit in the capsule that we tore the capsule apart. It is not that clear but this is the best that we could take! How brutal Si Yan and I were.

Maths was Sets and Venn diagrams. This topic seriously kills and I hate it. My WANTON MEE is sold today! Yay! D&T was sneezing and scratching. The saw dust that was filled and sawed and everything flew everywhere and I was scratching like siao. Completed drilling a hole and then the rest is left till next week. Terrible D&T, the sawdust. I sneezed like more then 3 times and when the dust got into my hair, it was horribly itchy.

I love Literature! Mdm Yeo gave us a lot of details and the summary for each paragraph on each page. How nice and we are having the 25 marks test on Week 5. I thought that our Literature essay was supposed to take the test's place? Chinese was letter writing and the class sabotage me and put me onto the altar to write the format ahh. But we sabotaged Jin Fei later!

Band was boring until sectionals. We practiced a little then we talked and talked about our classes and school life. JET CAME BACK, like wth?! Well, sectionals bonded us a lot more than usual. Haziq kept scolding 'basket' to Michelle. Hahaha, damn funny! After band ran 4 rounds around technical block to train for 2.4km. If don't train I surely die.

Wednesday, today, finally rained! I was waiting for the rain for the past few days. Geography was all about Human Population which nearly killed my brains. Birth rates, death rates, infant mortality rates and all the rubbish. Human geography is just so not fun. I was caught with Verniecia for not bringing the thermometer today. The curse of E. 1E has a long queue and 2E was starting the second queue. Goodness, haha. Many people forgotten about the thermometers!

History was back to normal! Merging of Malaya and Singapore, not bad. Quite an interesting chapter but I had nothing much to do. HCL is better! The chinese department decided to open up the Chinese Literature as part of the Humans subject, either as an individual subject or Chinese Lit Elective. Hehheh, sounds interesting but no one was interested at all. Only Jin Fei and Shi Rong volunteered.

English was waaa. Finally Mr Teo is pissed off and he scolded "shut your bloody mouths". I mean that he has tolerated us for enough. That's why we have a new task, since we like to talk so much. We have to start telling stories about what we've read and stuffs. But today's English lesson was exceptionally entertaining! Manish, Heetesh and Quayyum plus Haziq was throwing Heetesh's pencil case around and finally that caught Mr Teo's attention. He confiscated Heetesh's pencil case and said that it fits his basket and maybe he is going to donate the pencil case to the salvation army.

Heetesh was unhappy and he threw Manish's pencil case into the rubbish bin. But he went to pick it up and hand it to Mr Teo telling him that it was alright to take Manish's pencil case as well. What a hilarious scene. They treated Chandni damn badly. We were learning Synonyms and when we came to the words obscene and ridiculous, Manish, Heetesh & Haziq shouted "Chandni" the loudest!

Science was digestion and I had to copy the notes onto the concept map. Mdm Rubina's notes are detailed! Mine was filled with all diagrams and everything and Si Yan copied mine later because she could not copy fast enough. It was 5% of the CA2 marks, so I had to do mine up nicely and neatly! IPW was slack! Yay!

With joy,
RACH!

2007-07-10T21:57:00.000+08:00

Today was yet another typical Tuesday, laced with boredom. Literature started with a huge lecture and a collection of the class photo. As usual, Madam Yeo was lecturing us about the importance of Literature and how we took Literature how not-seriously. The class photo is really beautiful this year and I bought both Formal and Informal huge. Ahaha.

PE is LOVE. PE is pure fun! After the trial for the 2.4km run which I terribly failed, we had the games session. CAPTAIN'S BALL is fun! I was the same, the goalkeeper. Wahaha! Caught 10 balls and missed 3 balls. Waaa, everyone - YiJie, Fang Ning and the tall tall people all blocking me. Run until like siao from left to right and right to left, finally I caught the ball! Yay! Joyce was like the alarm clock lar, keep shouting "Ahhh! Block Rachel!" then everyone run towards me. -.-'''

Two periods of HCL was pure slack. The part I like most about the "I PICK, I SPEAK" was Si Yan's topic ehh. - Can secondary students fall in love? - This one is the best for Si Yan, she went to talk about how it affected the emotions of students and whether we are mature enough to start a relationship and in the end even pulled it to DEPRESSION! Then she talked about the good points and bad points. Verniecia's topic was actually "Is harming yourself now a trend?" then the teacher say she talk out of the question.

I ate meatball noodles for recess! Went through English without dozing off and I saw Mrs Lim outside. Ahaha, then maths was quite boring. Sets and Venn diagrams, can die ahh. Went for IT and did alot of crap because I don't know what to write about my group members. Fang Ning wrote rubbish then got beaten up by Olivia and YiJie.

Today no band. Damn sad, and I endured through the maths period for nothing. Disappointedly, I went home and slept through the afternoon. Slept till 8 'o clock and very energetic now. My physical being is being surrounded by cold air all around. Just serviced the air-con and now it's so cooling, an exact opposite with the weather outside. I am creating global warming! Hahaha, not fit to promote Live Earth. That's all!

With Joy,
RACH!

2007-07-06T23:40:00.000+08:00

SCIENCE WAS LOVE! Today's Science is Biology and we did enzymes. Wahahaha. Si Yan almost denatured the enzymes, haha. We did the Benedict's Test with the Iodine one. Damn fun, and I love Biology as time goes by. PICTURES SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS. Shall I show? Haha!

1ST PICTURE - Glucose and Starch solution + Amylase (enzyme) + Benedict's Solution
BLUE

2ND PICTURE - Turning to orange first

3RD Picture - Turning from Orange to Red

4TH PICTURE - Brick Red, the beautiful & correct colour

Ahhhh, the wonder of science and solutions. Hahaha. Now, to the iodine. It is just a boring yellow.

A great improvement - I did not sleep in class today although I really felt like sleeping. But no one will dare to try the innovative punishment, including me. I saw the class photo and I ordered exactly like last year! Other then this experiment for the ENZYMES, we had another one that was called the Pineapple Jello Experiment. A picture?

See the agar-agar and the pineapple in it? Hahahaha, I love Biology.

Thursday and Friday was pure fun. After school on Thursday, had sectionals. Sectionals was FUN. Haha, & we watched GANG VIDEOS during CE today. Shi Rong, YiJing, Fang Ning, Kendrick and I were laughing like siao and we all accused Shi Rong of watching porn. HIs expression was priceless - Red in the face and started crazily hitting air. Then after CE, Shannon got punished to go clean up the Art Room. Then Ms Tan asked Joyce if Shannon was her ideal husband, we had a super interesting talk with Ms Tan. We critisised Shannon like hell and I think he was feeling abit down.

Went for a little drink at VideoWorld before proceeding home. Tomorrow there is Band! I hope everything turns well.

Do what you want others to do to you & show yourself some respect before rubbing salt into another's wound.

I CAN SAFELY PROCLAIM THAT TODAY IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.

Morning was terrible. PE was horrible. While running outside of school for PE, I waited for the time to walk before I finally collapse. I have to thank 4 persons - Mr. Rizal, Yijie, Joyce and Yi Jing. Mr Rizal and Yijie supported me all the way from the whatever path back to school & a kind parent who allowed us to take her car back to school. I fainted twice ehh. YiJie's face went immediately pale. Actually she had stomach ache but when she saw my situation is like 100 times more pain then hers, she forgotten about her pain and supported me all the way. Hehheh, I am so sorry Yijie. Went to sick bay and lay on the bed for like 20 mins then I was back to normal and even attended band! Haha. Laid my head on the table for a short rest cause I was feeling unwell and was caught by Mrs Lim then punished by her.

SUAY EHHH. Luckily, there is still Band. I was experiencing bad moods to the extreme and only Band managed to cheer me up. See how band works wonders :) Today damn funny, combine with Michelle, Benjamin, Ian and Nadia was damn funny. I love my section a hell load!

Goodness, end of my post. I don't want this year to end so soon!

With joy,
RACH!

2007-07-02T21:46:00.000+08:00

It's entering July, goodness. Just a few months to the end of the year. Yesterday was a great day, went to watch the movie Transformers. At first,I was not interested in the movie, thinking that it might just be some ordinary fighting movie where the bad people kill the good people to get the robots. The starting was already so exciting and the movie was although about killing and fighting. The movie had a mix of excitement and jokes.

Today is Youth Day and I was slacking at home the whole day. I slept at 3am the previous night and today I woke up at 12pm. Ahahaha, after watching DVD for 4 hours, 4.12pm I went back to napping and even napped for 2 hours. I resemble a sloth... goodness.

STRESS! I just realised that I haven completed a part of my D&T project. Watching SWITCHED! on Channel 8 now. The plotline is touching, Fann Wong and Jeanette Aw's acting are really good and Jeanette really acts like a super jealous bimbo who is shallow and has bad personality. Hahaha, really love the both of them for their acting skills!

I just realised that there is a Science test tomorrow and I didn't even bring the book home to study. Walau! I want to see the Live Earth concert! A concert for a planet in crisis!

2007-06-27T22:31:00.000+08:00

Long time no post. School had been hectic and I almost went crazy. I just hope that after the first week have passed by, things will get better sooner. Three parts that this post is going to be split up on.

BAND CAMP

Band camp was another 3 days 2 nights. Rather tiring but everything was worth it. Games were fun and the best was NIGHTWALK. Oohlala. It was funny. Our first station was at the hall back alley where Kiki and Han Yuan cried but it was scary. Second station was music room where the PEANUTS thing was going on. Then subsequently, I forgot everything. A very short portion about the band camp was that I've learnt many new things and improved just a little bit. More room for improvement, that's what I need.

SCHOOL REOPEN

Timetable totally changed like a hell lot. Switched and swop and school was fairly well, I kept chionging all the terrible leftover work like shit and slept late at 1am for the past 2 days. Had no time to update for everyday was chiong. I was so tired that I slept during class time. This time it is different because I am tired, not that the lesson was boring or something else. Changed English teacher, not bad at all. Haha.

UBIN TRIP TODAY

Terrible! As I woke up late, I forgotten to pack my insect repellent. Results was that I got bitten all over. It was a rather enriching trip as we got to see the whole of Chek Jawa and I saw Fiddler Crabs! Haha, Olivia was bitten by a mosquito that was suspected to be an Ades mosquito and she kept crying that she doesn't want to suffer from Dengue Fever. Saw a lot of medicinal plants and picked up a total of 45 KG of rubbish. Read that - 45KG. Took tons of pictures!

To sum up, I am chionging homework.

With joy,
RACH!

2007-06-18T23:08:00.000+08:00

I think I am entering a crazy mindset. It's the fourth week of the holidays now and I am not done with any homework. Maybe half of Geography, Maths and Literature. It's going to be Band Camp in 2 days time on Wednesday. 3 days 2 nights and the story will be posted on my blog. In the first place, I am in no mood to blog at all. My holiday spells pure boredom. Accept for staying at home for homework, nothing else. Besides, Joyce is already in Malaysia enjoying the last of the holidays. How I envy her.

PS/ I am obsessed with my blog song.

我们小时候

小时候我总会这样牵着你的手,
只是盼望能够在你的身边守候。
为了保护你不小心割破手指头，
这个小伤却让你流泪心痛。

长大后我们越来越远分隔地球的两边，
何时才能够见面熟悉微笑的脸？
回忆起我们小时候，
闭上眼就能够感受，
在我们心中慢慢流动的温柔。

离开了我们小时候，
现在你会不会想我？
也许你找到一个人为你守候，
我了了... ...

回忆起我们小时后，
闭上眼就能够感受。
站在窗前跟你说了晚安就走，
离开了我们小时候，
现在的你不在想我，
这个时候我了了... ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FANG NING!

And, I am officially liking Calvin Chen! He is just so hot in KO One! Just a random post tonight. Haha!

2007-06-09T22:56:00.000+08:00

I am currently at home with 6 blisters on my heel (both left and right) and sole and three on the heel popped while I marched today. While waiting for Youtube to load my whole episode of KO ONE, might as well, I come to set a post for June. 2nd week of holidays passed just like that. First week was rather slack because I rather watch TV then touch that stack of papers, which is in simpler meanings, holiday homework. Friday (1st June 07), I went for band and went back home in the afternoon for tuition. Saturday (2nd June 07), went back for band and stayed the whole day. Had sectional lunch and everything bad.

Well, this week is much simpler. I've been seeing Si Yan for 6 consecutive days, put that into a book of record. Haha! Well, Monday was flash, Tuesday was band, Wednesday was flash, Thursday was band, Friday was flash and Saturday is band. 1,3,5 - Flash. 2,4,6 - Band. I am not emo these few days but I guess Joyce is. Well, since people is tagging me to update, especially my beloved Lao Po - Joyce, let's update.

I learnt many things throughout the whole outdoor band practice. Drills, marching and instrument drills. Terrible! Rachel was never a girl who fancies exercising and that's why I am not that fit when compared to other people. SIMPLE - My arm cannot hold a 5kg instrument for long. FOR LONG. I will try to go strengthen up my arms, in preparation for Band Camp. My neck almost broke while I chins up, but that is a standard procedure and posture so let's say, I did chins up even though my neck became numb.

I cannot check dressing properly. Today, while I marched beside Joshua, he kept telling me not to march too big steps and that I have to be in line with him. My skills at checking dressing are horrible, but I will improve. I feel like I have asthma when I hentak and shout timing or hentak and play. My left leg is not as strong as my right leg. I feel so useless but Joyce say - You will improve soon! Soon you will get use to it and then it becomes easy for you. Well, thank you Joyce! That's why I call her my BELOVED LAO PO.

Too bad, she is going off to Malaysia soon and this band camp is the first band camp that we spent without her. Oh how long the days will be. I kept encouraging myself that I can get to go home in XX hour's time and it did work, well yeah. It's a form of encouragement for me.

FLASH nearly killed Si Yan and our group yesterday. Well, Hou Sheng, Jian Ting, Kendrick and Victor came back with us but we were the first. We were supposed to go to lunch with them at Parkway but they soon gave up on us because we were taking too long. FLASH, is a programme that I will hate forever and ever. It's complicated, brain-killing and time consuming. You have different techniques to do different effects and I hate all of them! I went off at 2 while poor Si Yan is still doing her flash. She almost did not manage to save it but she still did. So CLAP CLAP! That saves our trouble of redoing because the programme suddenly went off yesterday.

Joyce told me about the Dunman High Concert. It really looks good. Left Joyce alone for lunch for there was sectional lunch today and we were late. Got punished by Librarians and the next band practice will be Band Camp.

Wish me luck & with Joy,
RACH!

2007-05-27T23:02:00.000+08:00

It's worth it to go watch Pirates of The Caribbean 3: At World's End. The ticket money is already cheap when you compare the production cost. Orlando Bloom is just hot, hot and hot. I just started to take a liking towards him. Well, Johnny Depp is still my favourite character and Orlando Bloom is ranking a second. The movie had not much of Johnny's parts but more of Elizabeth and Will. Keira Knightly is a beautiful girl, so beautiful. Now I understood why Will likes her. Weeee.

Orlando Bloom - Will Turner

Johnny Depp - Jack Sparrow

Keira Knightly - Elizabeth Swann

The trilogy of Pirates Of The Caribbean drew a beautiful fullstop to the whole series of movies. The ending was totally unexpected - Will Turner became the captain of the Flying Dutchman. He is only going to reunite with Elizabeth once every 10 years! Oh dear, he's so hot! Sad, sad and sad. Well, but thats the way to make Will survive because Davy Jones stabbed him in the heart. Clever Jack Sparrow, see the ending how he made Barbossa fume with anger. HAHAHA!

It's a good watch, very worthy. Romance, Comedy and Action all thrown into that 2hrs 45 mins of Pirates 3. The plot line is so intriguingly woven and the story flows perfectly!

"There must be something on the seas that even the most staunch and bloodythirsty pirates have come to fear..."

Die hard POTC fan!

Saturday's band was tiring. Drills with instrument! My arm almost broke and I had no arm strength left to eat dinner. Soon after bathing, I recharged my battery! But my arm still feels sourish until now. It's a new experience for me. Persevere! Friday's performance was a failure!!! It's sucky.

Sigh, I feel like sleeping!

With Joy,
RACH!

2007-05-24T22:46:00.001+08:00

I am catching a movie every weekend. Weeee. This Sunday's movie night is for Pirates of The Caribbean 3: At World's End. Next Sunday will probably be SHREK 3. There are alot of trilogies coming out in the month of MAY. All the good movies.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Well, my so-called suay day. On the way to school, for don't know whatever reason, I scratched my self on my hand twice and I didn't feel any pain. Shi Rong, Sharon, Si Yuan, Fang Ning and Olivia must be happily at Cameron Highlands now. Oh how I wanted to join them but I have a performance tomorrow. I guess that they should be having fun now after 10 long hours on the bus.

Special Activities period was a BOOM. We had so much fun in the classroom under no supervision of any teachers. Haha, now that's one privilege. Last day of school makes one significant post.

P.E was even better and a BLAST! Captain's ball was a good game of bonding and also for the sports part. Jian Ting, Joyce, Yi Jing, Saiful, Wilson and Jin Fei were in my team. Then the opposing team were Si Yan, Vernieica, Hui Jun, Li Yu, Yi Jie, Hou Sheng, Long Hei and Victor. Joyce fell down and hurt her leg. I was isolated, no one managed to throw the ball to me. The other team kept finding TALL PEOPLE to defend me, thus I never managed to catch a good ball. Out of all the games I played, I love this game the most. It's fun though I failed to catch the ball. I know I am short and those defenders are really tall. UNFAAAIRR! Heehee, Lee Jian Ting keep scolding me.

Maths was corrections and you get to be your own teacher for the day. Wang Shi Rong never honours his promises. Where's my carton box? He flew to Cameron with my box and my LIFESCIENCE booklet. Oh my god! I went home after band with a huge OSIM paper bag which portrayed me as an ugly KALANGOONI. Jin Fei's paper bag helped me ALOT. But Wang Shi Rong caused me to look like a KALANGOONI. Don't worry, I will make sure he pays.

IT was horrible, no hope of mentioning it. I feel like dying. Science was - NO PRACTICAL ALL THEORY and 50% SLACK TIME. Weeeee! I've known the criteria and I don't think I will even get double science. But, I will work hard! Encouragement!!!

SUAY DAY part: I scratched my hand twice and then all thanks to bloody SHANNON PHUA. Of all childish, immature and stupid things he did, he just had to snatch Verniecia's water bottle. Verniecia, being defensive had to take his water bottle and he doesn't loosen his grip on HIS water bottle and he finally let go just when I am passing behind Verniecia. POK! It hit my face and its now swollen and my pimple's turn purple. There is a little cut on my face. ALL THANKS TO IDIOTIC, IMMATURE, DESTRUCTIVE AND STUPID SHANNON PHUA!

Madam Yeo did justice for me. She went over to Shannon's side after seeing Victor's father and told Shannon's parents that he is - ONE: Talkative, TWO: Destructive, THREE: Distractive & FOUR: Irritating. Weeeee, suddenly, Madam Yeo rocks so much & see how Shannon left such a huge bad impression on Madam Yeo:)

I hope mine tomorrow isn't that bad because I will not be there and I will be performing at some navy open house! HCL WAS PURE ENTERTAINMENT! Completed the whole movie of CARS. So happy as the ending is so cute.

Band was... weeee! Tomorrow! Tomorrow!

This should mark a fullstop my my "Last Day Of School" post.

With Joy,
RACH!

I am pleased to announce that the new age for 2E is coming and has arrived finally. Today is a good example. Post exam days are fun, cool and represents total freedom. Played with Life Science and Bacteria. I am creating my own bacteria colony on my nutritional agar plate. Congratulate me! My beautiful bacteria is in a nice shade of red. Weeeee.

I watched Spiderman 3 on Sunday and honestly, I am not interested in the first 1 hour although my mum keep telling about the contrasts of Peter Parker "aka" Tobey McGuire "aka" Your Friendly Neighbourhood Hero Spidey. Time slot for Parent's Meeting on Friday is at 12 noon. Wish me luck for I am not there to hear what the teacher will be saying, though I feel like being there. It's a yearly thing and only one time a year. Ate plenty of stuffs during the trip to Changi Museum. Jin Fei's chips, Olivia's chocolate biscuits, WANG WANG biscuit and a can of Ice Lemon Tea. Thank Jian Ting for the lemon tea and Shi Rong for the Wang Wang biscuit!

After that was 2 EL slack periods. Took many pictures and played games, acted like a retard and alot more! Posting the pictures later!

Received results today and I got a class position of 10! Something that I've never achieved for a SA1. Attempting to create a post in about 5 mins. Literature was results checking and PE was Captain's Ball. Maths was quadratic graphs and History was history file content page writing. Recess was curry noodles and English 2 periods is slacking time!

Shi Rong they all played poker cards and Shannon wanted to join in but failed. Oh well, yeah. Geography was playing Psychological Humour Quizes that allows you to see what's inside your mind and stuffs. Quite accurate I have to admit! :)

That's all.
With Joy,
RACH!

2007-05-17T00:38:00.000+08:00

It's horrible, terrible or vegetable. Whatever you call it. I only have a pathetic A, which is History, 5Bs and 1 horrible C. Rather consoling? Nahhh. Geography was WOAH. I didn't know I can do and get like a high B3? History was amusing, I fought so hard to push my History from a 68 to 70. It's just two marks. But in Sec 2, marks are counted and are of higher weightage then grades. So, I am learning from Joyce. Marking of Geography is really tight, which is in simpler meanings, NO LOOPHOLES! Weee...

Deal of No Deal is a fun show. Adrian Pang and this week's contestant is so... urgh. Really boring day today, rather humid. Woke up late and stuffs. PS/ I hate Shannon. I don't really find the need now to jump into the sea with a rock attached to my leg. CA2 and SA2 are coming really soon. And if you realise, we are entering June! My bestfriend's in love! Happy things are going all around the world.

The world wouldn't stop revolving even if you are sad.

I was planning to sleep at 11 but look at the time now.

BuhBYE!

2007-05-14T23:11:00.000+08:00

I just want to tie a rock to my leg and jump into the sea. Results are like shit. Like Joyce expressed in her blog, I want my 70+ 80+ marks back. Let choose what sea - Mediterranean, Red Sea, Dead Sea or Pacific Ocean. Someone kill me please. I just passed my English. HCL is no need for mentioning, I dropped like SIAO. You understand the word SIAO? Yeah, it is. It went haywire for me. Mid Years practically suck! There is still CA2 and End Of Years, so let's buck up and pull our socks up.

Blogger's driving me real mad soon. It's problems are not solved, like what the hell. Saturday was the day that we resumed band. Hallelujah! Ate chicken rice with Si Yan, Bernice, Joyce and Yijing at Parkway. Then it was 1 hr drills. It's been a long time since I've done that. Really missing that smell. Sweaty smell.

That's all and BuhBYE.

EXAMS ARE OVER!

Like finally? 2 weeks of torture just ended. I was waiting impatiently for the clock to hit 9.53am! But had to stay back because of the SA1 Maths paper, I got my score. It is not bad because I didn't fail like last year, what a relief. Tomorrow is supposed to be rest day where I can wake up late but people who are doing IPW Pulau Ubin have to come back due to a lecture for 2 hours.

Such a spoiler but Pulau Ubin IPW is fun so I guess I just let it off this once? Went to Suntec with my dad for a mini party among us. Ate plenty of good food to make up for the torturous 2 weeks. It was greattt. I bet Joyce they all are enjoying a good time watching movie. My dad bought a new wallet for me. It is damn expensive but yeah.

Mum's coming back soon and I will get my presents. Now, is a time to slack, relax and wait for the June holidays. Band is resuming soon, Yay! Life after examinations should be a more relaxed one now. The anxious part is the results. Talking about results, I just got my maths back. I really envy Maths-Pro people. How can their brain work so fast and accurate, nevertheless thank GOD that I never failed. I just hope for my results to maintain.

I am officially announcing that Raymond Lam and Tavia Yeung are back in my heart, woahaha. I am still a TVB fan, Hong Kong serials are still the best. Singapore's productions are not bad - JUST FOLLOW LAW. Went to Suntec Carefourre and saw them playing it. It brings back many jokes into my mind.

Latest obsession.

200 Pound Beauty is a funny Korean movie which I encourage people to watch. It's damn cute and rather saddening too.

2007-05-04T23:23:00.000+08:00

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!

The table top you see in the picture where Joyce's broken specs are, is no longer there. I believe everyone knows about the rainy days in Singapore. We forgotten to close the windows before leaving school. My table is just beside the window and I didn't put my table top underneath my table and it got soaked! Thouroughly! Inside out, the vanguard sheet absorbed everything. I dumped it into the bin! 2E's floor and the gutters on the table are capable of rearing tadpoles! I swear!

HEALTH CHECKUP DAY!

Joyce's broken specs.

Verniecia and Si Yan playing phones.

Joyce EMO!

FRIDAY April 27th.

Kendrick's bag. Cute right?! :)

Si Yan hugging Kendrick's bag, she was amused by it!

Joyce! :)

Haven posted since way back long. Attempting to make history in 5 minutes now. First post in May. MYE was horrible. "Mug smart, not mug hard," Jian Ting said. Well, 3/4 of my brain cells died in Geography Mid Years, Maths killed all brain cells today. Those who wants to look out for pictures, come back either tonight or tomorrow. Pictures should be on by then.

3.5 papers gone, 3.5 more to go.

Out of 3 killer papers, 2 down. Support algebra!

I don't know what I am talking about, random.

PS/ Mid years takes lives.

All for now & be back soon,
with joy, RACH!

2007-04-19T21:27:00.000+08:00

Recently, I've much improved myself on many things. At least I didn't sleep during lesson these few days. Determination rules it all! Today was RAIN, RAIN and RAIN. Nevertheless, I really prefer this type of weather. Its cooling and you don't have to sweat. Rather pleasant. I've became the class photographer. Saving the happy memories; we might not end up as classmates next year. It is somehow depressing to think of this but why can't we just stay in the same class? Heh heh. THE PICTURES ARE FINALLY HERE!

Let's have a sneak peek at what's happening in 2E.

19th April 2007

Joyce and Si Yan.

Joyce and YiJing.

Joyce trying to take pictures while a little of Shannon's head interuppted.

Verniecia talking about her dream phone.

Si Yan was amused by Shannon.

This is when we are in HCL, resting time after test. Joyce's sideview.

17th April 2007

This is Joyce filing her aluminium.

This is JinFei drilling a hole in her aluminium.

The other class just completed sanding and fighting for the tap.

The remaining are just camwhoring for fun.

All these happened on 17th April 2007 during D&T.

Suddenly, we love camwhoring so much. Heh heh, my idea. That should be all.

With joy,
RACH!

2007-04-16T18:39:00.000+08:00

Ever looked into the mirror and thought - Why were you borne into this world? Ever thought that you are pretty useless and only commits mistakes and never good deeds? This world may be depressing at times but believe in God and he shall calm your heart and feel it with tranquility. God created a miracle for me. I believe in him always, anything and I will just pray. I really adore and admire Joyce's faith for God, Jesus Christ. She taught me how to believe and be a better Christian. If you read her post, you will understand.Miracles are everywhere, it's whether you believe in it or not.

Today was utterly a depressing day for me.

SUAY DAY!

You never believe what I had gone through today. I will never forget 16th April 2007, Monday. Everything bad started from the morning, because of my rude behavior and stupid curiosity.

Things evolved to much worser in the afternoon after HCL. Manish threw a bag and it ended on my head! My head hurt and I teared (for the first time) in front of Shi Rong and Han Yu. Heh heh, then, for whatever stupid reason, I fell asleep during maths. I am sorry! I truly repent on my mistake and will do anything to stop me from dozing off again. I failed the Maths Level Test by 1 mark. Well, nobody to blame because I didn't pay attention. It's time for me to start anew.

The only thing that was consoling is that I got an A2 for Portfolio!

I will change, I will behave better and stop causing anymore disappointment.

God, guide this lost soul here and may she attain tranquility at all times. May you bless that she still continues to perform well and her results will stop getting affected.

-Amen.

So long,
RACH!

2007-04-13T23:49:00.001+08:00

Just a funny video for you all.

2007-04-13T23:17:00.000+08:00

Friday on today is a SUAY day. Yet, Friday the 13th didn't affect me on anything.

It rained the whole day today, practically from PE - 8.30 until maybe 4.30pm? 8 hours. Everyone was soaked and drenched to the skin today. Today is also the day where I had this HCL Chinese Essay Writing Competition. There is only one question, unlike last year and I practically wrote crap for the essay. The question was (directly translated) "Please hear me speak". I came up with a story like there is this poor child whose parents didn't bother to listen to her speak and didn't understand her well; the usual stuffs. Finished the essay in 30 mins and slept for the remaining 30 mins.

While I am stuck in the classroom writing that essay, Joyce and accompany were probably having fun. How I envy them, they went to Parkway and ate Yoshinoya while I was still stuck writing and ate only WANG WANG biscuits. Mr Wang was my maid for the day, he kept running down to buy food for me. How I wish I wasn't in this competition. Victor spoke crap today. Eurgh, only half the class was present for the games carnival after school. Sat in the classroom whole day playing STRESS and Heart-attack. For once I was isolated for I found no common topic to communicate with the rest. I felt so left out. :(

Games carnival ended and the usual classes won the usual prizes while 2E won none:) Not that depressing. Today, I met my friend who is a band member from Cedar. She told me she cried when the results were announced and they got Silver. Another GWH band - Ang Mo Kio. ENVIOUS! Sang the school song and finally it ended and I rushed for my tuition. Haha, didn't bid farewell to all my classmates. Tomorrow's the last band practice and the next time we will be seeing each other is May 12 if I am not wrong.

PS/ Shut your mouth if you don't know what we are going through.

So long, people.
RACH!

2007-04-11T21:39:00.000+08:00

I believe today is a day that none of the TK BAND members will ever forget.

11th April 2007, 11.30am (PERFORMANCE)

11th April 2007, 12.37pm (RESULTS)

This is the day which will change history. I don't know how to say and describe our feelings for we have never imagined that Tanjong Katong Secondary School Band will be linked with a Silver. 10 years of Gold, 10 years of Excellence.

!DISCLAIMERS : Leave if you loathe. I am just posting out my own way of thinking and my own feelings.

Ever wondered what will happen if something you desired badly, very badly, and you didn't get it? The feeling sucks. We've dropped, it's reality. But, we are still on par with the other bands. Nevertheless, results are still disappointing. Never in our lives since we entered the Band, have we thought of getting a Silver. Today is just going to be history, a new day will start tomorrow.

We are just going to be stronger, never weaker. I believe that we will. There is still 2009 for us, we can reflect on these mistakes and obtain a higher level. The three new words I've learnt from Mr Azlan - REMEMBER. BELIEVE & LIVE. Truly enlightening.

AARON - the worst guy I've ever met. He rubbed the fact into our face, rubbing the fact that we got Silver. I'm so pissed. Shannon almost cried because he taunted us that we got Silver. Enough is enough. DON'T ever do this to us again.

Hahaha, I felt better after letting out my feelings on this blog. We are still going to move on in life. There is still a long, long way ahead of us. Never lose this spirit.

With joy,
RACH!

SEE MY TRAILER! SEE MY TRAILER!

I guess I am being a little too conceited. If you searched for it on the WEB, you will definitely get the codes. Oh whatever, back to serious business.

In case if no one notices, or maybe I am just trying to attract some attention, SYF's in 2 DAYS'S TIME!

TWO MORE DAYS TO SYF!

WOW! That's how time passes. It's just quick, fast and sweet. 11th April, 11.30am. A day that we will all be looking forward to. After 11th April, everything will just be history and it will be time to study! Auw, how sad. That's life then.

I remembered I ever had a friend who complained - "This world is so unfair."

My answer was- "Who ever said LIFE was fair?"

Yeah, my point - Who ever said LIFE was fair? Everything comes with a price. I am just looking forward to the June Holidays. I think I am being a bit too into the future. Plan for times ahead and look forward, never backward!

SORRY JOYCE. Well, I guess it was my mistake if I hadn't asked her to accompany me to TKG, she might have not lose her way. I think I owe her an apology!

Signing off,
RACH!

2007-04-08T23:55:00.000+08:00

I am going to finish this post in about a few minutes. Just found the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End. I am so going to watch it.

See Johnny Depp on May 24th!

Soon & with Joy,
RACH!

2007-04-04T21:56:00.000+08:00

I feel like an unfilial daughter. I cried for about an hour and fifteen minutes and the next thing I knew, my eyes were swollen like a goldfish and my mucus couldn't move. I feel sorry and guilty. My father showered his love on me and everything, gave me what I want and this is what I returned him. What an unfilial daughter.

On the whole, yesterday was SUUUAAAAYY. I got up on the wrong side of bed? I got up only 6.55 and to find that school is starting in about 40 minutes? Rushed everything and took a cab to school. Heh heh. Classmates thought I wasn't coming. I didn't study much for the Science and Maths tests. I practically am going to fail them. I hate Shannon like hell on Tuesday. He is so bloody annoying that I feel like hexing him into the next century and wiping him off the face of Earth. See the hatred I stored in my heart. You get my point - He is not changing for the better.

Today is WOAH. History test was okay but I doubt my score. Yeah, HCL was not any better. Maths was shittaye. I meant me, not the lesson. I wonder what's wrong with me nowadays. I am hoping to brace myself up but I ended up sleeping in lessons. I often ask myself, "Don't you want your score to improve?" & "Why do you keep sleeping?". I myself couldn't find the answers to these questions.

Went to UBIN today and skipped band. IPW is FUUUUUNNN. I am loving it. Everytime I go UBIN, I come home injured. I sorta fell with the bike even when the bike was moving and I fell on my butt. HOW HILARIOUS. The next thing I knew, I fell with my bike down a steep steep slope. My bones are hurt and I have cuts all over my right leg. What a good day, I will be limping tomorrow. I love blog hopping because some other's blogs are just entertaining to me. Like NING'S. Took tons of pictures today. Will post it up by the next post I think. There are not many photo's on my blog anyway, I am just not used to it.

Bye and SO LONG,
RACH!

2007-04-02T21:48:00.000+08:00

Woots! This is my 100th post. I finally hit the target. First post of the month - April. It's just 9 more days to the SYF if you are counting. Stress. I am currently stuck among a huge amount of tests and homework. Everyone's working but I decided to start at 10pm. What a lazy girl. Science was horrible today and the person who spoiled my mood is obviously SHANNON PHUA. Well, I can't understand him. He ~~told~~ proclaimed to everyone to change for the better but I think he is becoming worst and I certainly dislike his behavior.

Someone broke my record for today. 2 years for the first time, a teacher caught me sleeping in class. I thought my disguise was never going to be cracked through but somehow, it did. I am tired after everything and I am promising myself a good old rest. In case I haven't noticed, its just about 3 more weeks to exam. Bloody hell, no wonder all the tests starts popping up. I am still obsessed with Edison and Charlene.I am watching Twins Effects which was like how many donkey years ago.

Unpredictable. See how life can be so unpredictable. I am forced to join a Chinese Essay Writing Competition. Well, thanks my classmates, I appreciate your effort but I don't think I am going to do well. I really need and want to do well for the exams. Am I studying? NO. What can I do? I am so exhausted. Pulled my lazy body up and did some work? My maths concepts are going haywirree. JJ Lin's songs are soothing to my soul. I didn't know his songs could have such effects on me. WOW. Skipping tests isn't a good thing. I am so not catching up with the class. I am risking my lunch hours tomorrow.

Today was sort of an eventful day. I behaved in a way that I didn't think I could behave. Should I applause or reflect? I am going for the reflect option.

In anyway, a misconception of YOU.

Ending abruptly & with JOY,
RACH!

2007-03-31T22:45:00.000+08:00

I'm DEPRESSED/ totally gone?

Nah. My heart is still intact and beating strongly.

I am so not giving up. I am not easily defeated.

PERIOD.

--

Today was rather okay. I smelt like a salted fish. Which happens to be terribly stink, and I am now stuck at home doing equations. There are 4 tests next week. TELL ME, how am I going to study?

That's what I am depressed for. My heart was totally/ almost gone and I thought I was about to have a heart attack but surprisingly, my heart was intact and still beating. 4 tests!!!4 tests for goodness's sake. 4 subjects : History, Geography, Maths and Science.

I am so not giving up! I am going to study, study and study! SA1 is approaching, and I better do well. I have a strong heart! Woo hoo! Take on all study pressures! Emoism. Depressing sounds a little too much on studies... Well, shocking? Ahahaha.

My days in school were still okay. I better make a post on the last day of March. Everything if proceeding well for band. I'm glad. Obviously.

It's not too good to be a little too sensitive to stuffs.

I am hitting a 100 post soon. The weekend was horrible. My long and beautiful hair is gone! Well, long hair is too heavy. If I don't cut it, more hair is going to just drop. D&T has presented me with another killer project which involves me to design a souvenir and my design brief. So far, I haven done anything. Please congratulate me for tomorrow may spell END for me. I haven completed any homework. Too lazy and tired.

& STOP commenting on my hair. I am depressed enough. Today marks my 98th post. I miss yesterday though, before 3pm, I still have my hair. After 3pm, it went all down into the bin. Hair can grow. I know it, how long does it take? Will it grow to what I want it to be? Questions, silly but useful inventions.

Show appropriate concern. But leave my hair alone, I will be fine by then.I am already depressed about that fact.

The SECOND reason for missing yesterday:

千机变 aka The Twins Effects were on Channel U last night. I like the first part because the second part which is also named as Twins Effects 2 had no connection at all and they made poor Edison die. Twins Effects 1 has Edison as the main lead. In case some don't know, Edison is Edison Chen. HuiJun, relax for I am not snatching Edison away from him. He was stunningly gorgeous yesterday and he paired up with Charlene. They both make my most favourite couple.

Aren't they cute together? Sometimes, it just suck. I cannot find any pictures on them anymore. It does not contain those pictures. I am now so into them. I feel a story formulating down in my brain. Well, I think I shall post until here.

With Joy,
RACH!

2007-03-21T23:01:00.000+08:00

School was as normal as any other day. I had a bad start this morning by waking up only at 6.30am. I had to rush my brother to school so that I can go with him to his school to take 16 to come to my school. I hope it doesn't sound complicated. One thing makes sense though.

Only when I return to school, then my pace of life gradually slows down. I don't have to rush out homework like the holidays and projects which I have to just get it done. Fast.

Short and sweet. History is the second most fun class after English. Madam Yeo hasn't came for 3 whole days to teach us. I hope she is feeling better by now. I think I love my results and my class position - 5th in the class. I am not trying to be proud or anything but I just want to share my joy. Please do not mistake me and come tagging my board with sentences like, "You think you very smart is it? See your SA1 results then talk!" / "5th in class so what? Big deal ah?!". I emphasize once more - I just want to share my joy.

Games carnival after school was... No words to describe. This year, we only took part in Soccer, Table Tennis, Badminton and Netball. I do not know the situations for the rest of the games for I was busily watching the Netballers. All in the team are damn pro.

I was particularly pissed off this morning but everything turned out to be fine soon. I forgot everything and I do not want to CNN to the whole world. So I shall not type anything in this post. Do you want to know why History became a fun lesson? Haziq was busily quarreling with Shi Rong during History and Jonathan and I laughed like mad. The contents were really hilarious. Haha, I am trying to improve my English by typing proper sentences and no 'internet language'. I've been sitting in front of the computer for the past 2 hours and 16 mins. I changed my own blogskin and helped Joyce with hers.

Treat others and yourself with respect.

With Joy,
Rach!

2007-03-19T22:47:00.000+08:00

First day of school practically sucked. The rain was super heavy this morning, even if you have an umbrella all to yourself, it is not going to keep you clean and dry. See how heavy the rain is? You get my point anyway. Not much of the holiday homework is completed. D&T was the worst. I haven done anything, up till now. Maybe half of my reflection and a little part of my evaluation? On MSN with Joyce and realised that we both haven done anything on the BAD DESIGNS homework. I've finally realised that Sec 2 life wasn't that easy at all. Sec 1 was a totally different thing. Is it too late to only realise this only now? That wasn't only the bad news though.

Xi Chun went back to BG. I was looking out for her the whole morning, assuming her to be sick I think she will come back tomorrow. Sadly, I found out during Science lesson - She transferred back. HuiJun consoled me, Joyce and I were shocked!

Science lesson was WOAH. I believe I will get the subject combination I deserve? Who knows? Day 1 of school literally SUCK. Mdm Yeo was sick, I hope she gets well soon! I hope things get better after all these projects are completed.

God, bless your dear child here. May she pass everything and her future still remains bright.

XOXO! & With Joy,
RACH!

2007-03-13T00:05:00.000+08:00

Band camp was GREAT. I enjoyed it pretty much. In short, I am loving it. I always enjoy all band camps anyway. Prolouge: We went to Night Safari. The camp was only 3 days and 2 nights, unlike the previous camps.

DAY ONE (1):

We fall in at 5pm and left our baggages at the studio before we had camp briefing, attendance taking and groups splitting. We were allowed about 20 mins to pack up our dorm, which was Classroom 2G. Then, we rushed down to the canteen for our dinner. It was the second time I fall in on the staircase. This time was different, people accompanied me. Haha. Food was better and it was Otah, Chicken and Chicken Rice. We officially named Richmond the Cucumber Boy aka Rubbish Bin (what he named himself). Then, we set off for the Safari! It was rather interesting. A leopard, leopard cat & practically all cats did "catwalk" in front of the display glass, with us behind the display glass. The flying squirrel flew past my legs! I felt a gush of cold wind and I pushed poor Verniecia to the railings. Sorry Vern. We were very lucky for we heard the lion growling! I was all stinky and sweaty when I got back to school. Slept at 12.30am and woke up at 7 am the next morning.

DAY TWO (2):

Fall in at 8.30am to have breakfast. No physical training for that morning. I was kind of lerthagic for the whole day? Had a normal band practice but got splitted up into two parts. Lunch was lemon grass sauce on rice with fish and some other stuffs. Morning, I was having usual combine. After lunch till the end of the day was for the concert preparations. Shall not post any content about the combines. Even groups bathe first and odd groups ate. Dinner was MEE GORENG. Ate quite alot. Just realised that SherTing doesn't like Rose Syrup. Owen and Richmond were so jealous that she gave her share to me. Well, I'm a girl and her friend. Had nightwalk that night. The ghost stories were scary but the walk wasn't. I went to fall out but went back to play the nightwalk again. Lesser people fall out this time. The nightwalk was FUN. Hee hee... Put up a good story for the whole thing. Slept soon after that.

DAY THREE (3):

The last day of band camp! I was not that lerthagic anymore. Band practice was as usual. I shall not elaborate much. We didn't get any prize, but it was okay. The camp was still enjoyable!
.
.
.
Now, enjoyment is over, it's time for working hard. Better work hard for my exams next time.

2007-03-08T21:15:00.000+08:00

Boo! Shall I start my post about today? Yes, I shall. Pardon me but I like to answer my own questions. Haha. Special activities; I was like half asleep and half listening? They invited Edmund Chen to be our guest. He told us many things, yeah. Useful and educational I guess. I tried to absorb everything he said. Late night sleeps ain't good - I cannot concentrate at all. Yeah, next was PE. I became a piglet?

Touch rugby. I have phobia of rugby balls. I became a piglet. Joyce became the hunter. Then, we switched roles. I became a hunter. Joyce became a pig. Hawhaw. The simple explanation of the game, that's it. Next was MATHS. Yeah, I passed it peacefully but was held back 10 mins into my recess. IT Lessons was okay, it was just that Xi Chun was particularly pissed of with 双面. She is having some little rash. Calamine lotion helps, I think she should get a bottle before she scratch herself to death. But something bad happened to me too.

Call me emo, pms or bad tempered. Anything that has got to do with these 3 words described my feeling since after recess. I was pissed off until band started. So far, band is the only thing which makes me throw my troubles behind. Master classes were on today and it rocks. Yeah, my tutor rocks. I admire Principal Horn Players - their skills and stuff. Back to before band. I was having a science remedial doing experiments on Acids and Alkali.

Xi Chun was so pissed off with 双面 that she felt like corroding 双面 with Hydrochloric Acid. Wow, chill girl. Anyway, Xi Chun's damn funny. I always laugh when she tells me about her reaction. I pity her, anyway she is in our group for IPW and Music. Ning, Yan, Jie, Olivia and her will be visiting my house next week. Its for music so I hope that band practice will not be on Wed. I NEED HAPPY FEET!!!! I am going for Band Camp tomorrow. Back on a Sunday, wish me luck! Ending abruptly,

With Joy,
RACH!

2007-03-07T21:53:00.000+08:00

Boo! Praise me. Praise me for my bad memory. My memory practically sucks. Tell me, how did I forget to bring my Maths txtbk when I needed it so badly for homework? I am chionging tomorrow. First period tomorrow is... Special Activity. Great.... DANG. Question marks for my maths. Blogger is lagging like hell? Got back my HISTORY results today. Overall, its good enough. I didn't expect myself an A2 for History because I suck at History. So far I've achieved 4 As. First time in my whole secondary life.

Had IPW session today. I am going back to UBIN for a exploration trip soon. My handphone's earpiece is ONE EAR DOWN. You get what I mean. To me, dinner didn't taste like industrial waste today. I should say that it is a good thing, "exotic" dishes ain't very beneficial for my health. Holidays are approaching soon, my holiday mood should be in good use now. Sadly, I am not going anywhere for my holidays. Singapore will be my final destination. My life is anywhere but good. I am sitting at the front now. Which means one simple thing: When my homework is not done, that's spells END for me. Shannon gave me a bad start this morning. Therefore, I feel like smacking him upside down.

I am so going to get help for English from Mdm Yeo. I want to pass English well. My resolution for the rest of the year: Pass English well & study hard. I don't want to hover about the C5,C6 range. Practically scares everything out of me when I imagined that I failed English. Note: Never get close to Han Yu - He is damn sick.
