well, this must be the first time i blog in com studs. hmm am bored and i don't want to do geog homework [which i brought to com studs], so here i am. lalala.
i am wonderful at multi-tasking. The teacher doesn't teach us anything these days! everyone just do whatever they want. >.< i wonder if this is good...and our lit. teacher is absent today. another free block this week. ytd was our history teacher, a great favourite in our class, esp. a certain someone. hee. 207nners will noe what i mean.
boink! i have rsssssssss to annotate by tmr! humph it's such a big pile. i have to do lots more for rs. this is so maddening! all by next tuesday!
i am crapping.
oh! tonight is National Science Challenge!!!!! everyone must see! rgs is in it today!! at 7.30pm tonight, channel 5. go watch it! i missed last week's one, but it didn't have rgs. blossom was ranting about how mgs was better than swiss cottage, but in the end swiss cottage got in instead of mgs. well. it's not fair that boys are better than girls in science! gah. but acs got out too. so yeah. not all boys are good in science. or rather, good ENOUGH.
i just realised that gifted students have a harder time than others. as in our lives are really stressful and full of activities all the time as compared to other schools. im sure other top schools have the same case. like in this report that is about gifted children being more stressed, one case is about how a girl has to cope with her CCA, french lessons, and her upcoming piano practical exams all at once. sounds so familiar, right?
it's exactly what most students in top schools go through. weird, though. i didn't quite think that it is stressful. until RS CAME ALONG. this is a nightmare! that lasts for months and months and never gets done! there's just a neverending list of things to do. it's like we do research, then interviews, then surveys, then on and on. now it's more research and the report and annotating all the research. it's like for everything we do, there's other things to do, as well as more things to work on what we did! gah.
i won't want to be a researcher or a scientist if this is what i have to go through. everyday of my life till i retire. i hate reports. more than graphs. yes, and i hate graphs. curve graphs esp. it gets all messy and wrong, and u have to do it again. and it takes such a long time!
all right. this should be enough. better work on my geog now. it's due tmr. >.<

boink
sorry for not posting for such a long time. i can't be bothered to. and was too engrossed reading. anyway, happy belated birthday, singapore! it's crappy but oh well. look at this
it's interesting. and highly amusing as it really looks like national day mtv. it's some scenes selected from stephen chow's movies, and they fit so nicely with our national day song! esp the chorus part! the dance moves are HILARIOUS. heehee.
hope that blaws will recover soon. she believes that i caused her to be sick and had spread her my disease, and is very upset that she can't go to school. poor blaws. her cough is abnormal. bcos i didn't cough so much as she did. i didn't like coughing anyway, and even if my throat itches, i don't want to cough so i don't. but sometimes u juz have to cough. and you cough and you cough and you cough.
and hurray. everyone around u has juz got ur virus! -bounce- i think this is what happened to blaws. however she is coughing soooooo much. i don't believe i coughed as much as she does. she reallyyyyyy should have gone for x-ray! it might be pneumonia u noe. and apparently it isn't dengue fever.
good for her. but you don't have to have rashes even if u have dengue fever. it depends on how u react to the virus. and different ppl react differently. haha. that's quoted from my bro. something like that.s o ppl beware. recently there's loads of aedes mosquitoes around choa chu kang and yishun area. i always attract mosquitoes and they juz love making a wonderful meal out of me. it can't be helped. im sweet. :)
well, there are loads that happened, but i don't want to blog them so there. juz feels sad that my mum keeps harping about my piano teacher and stuff like that. and im reading too much books until i feel guilty now. like i don't do any homework but sit there and read and read and read. and my mum going on and on in the background is really distracting. gah.
ahhh we have lit test and maths test this thurs and fri respectively!!! >.<
next week it's french contrôle 3! and there's hist test. next tues and fri respectively.
then there's geog test on week ten. to sum up our term three. trust me. throughout the whole of this term three, we had some kind of assessments each and every week. whether they are pts or written tests. at least one. and most of the time it's around 2 or three. sigh.
im sure term four won't be very relaxing either. in fact, it will fly past in a blur, juz like term three is, -hello it's the middle of august alrd????!!!! sept hols are coming up- and lots of preparation and revision for eoys. shudders. then it's dec hols and then it's sec 3 and a new year begins again. eeks.
shuddershuddershuddershuddershudder.
am feeling weird right now.
i have no idea what to do. i feel my life is meaningless. no im not depressed. i want to be happy. but i keep thinking of all the things i dislike doing but HAVE TO DO for the rest of my life, b4 i can finally graduate and become an adult. things like tests and assessments and essays and essays and essays and oral exams and cca and homework. and lack of sleep -that's random. i seriously need more sleep.-
so yah. and hope everyone have a great time doing i don't noe what. and good luck for the upcoming tests. >.<

sick
First, I must say that this is indeed a very bad time to be sick and NOT go to school. Especially, on a friday, with basketball SA [not that i care. i wouldn't have taken pe even if i went to sch], english SA and physics EOI, and CIP.
I will have to take the english sa and physics eoi after school or something. and take cip on another day.
questions i have in mind now.
- anyone else absent? [i seriously doubt so. why be absent on a day that is so...impt!!!!!]
- how long are the eng sa and the physics eoi? [so i can set a time with ms linn and mr. tan respectively. obviously not very nice.]
- anyone is taking cip on another day from our class?
- any homework? [only for history i guess, since it's the only exam-free lesson. only good thing about friday is that it's mostly exams and u noe u are not missing much lessons.]
- as for pe, who hasn't taken the basketball sa? im sure there's some ppl who are sick or something. and with mr. chee's favourite lectures, i believe not many people are assessed in the end.
All right. to real business. basically now i am sniffing and coughing like mad -partially due to the cold rainy weather- and also having weird temperatures that fluctuate up and down whenever my medication takes effect and it's time for yet another dose of it.
Let's go back to thursday night. it's been another normal night for me, with my fever and cough -yes it is normal for the past at least 10 days- and i couldn't really concentrate on studying for physics. so i studied for a while, and fiddled with rs, and then went to sleep, thinking i will study more physics b4 school the next day. i OBVIOUSLY have to go. or else i will miss two tests. i will NEVER miss them for anything.
of course, except for parents. just so happens that on thursday i feel worse than usual, and my temperature soared to 39.2 degrees celsius. it's fine for me, i can simply go to sleep and wake up the next day and go school lah, but NO. to my mum it's as though i am being fried in the oven.
she start to fret. i tell her i had fever about 11 days ago, on my birthday 17th july, yes and it continued for a while and i recovered from it for a few days b4 having it again somewhere on the day b4. and im fine, really a sleep will be fine. and i was so sleepy, since i was sick and needed rest and all. mind you i took plenty of nap earlier on that day, and skipped french -for the FIRST TIME!!!!!- bcos i wanted to go home and sleep. -sobs-
apparently my fever always escalates whenever i take naps. yes and i feel all feverish and i wanted to sleep. but no my mum refused to let me sleep. at approximately 10.30pm, at which i should have been at dreamland because of my sick state, she places a cold pad on my forehead. and it's juz like putting ice on ur head. and it's so cold that after a minute or so i push it off.
it makes my whole head ACHE with coldddddness, freezing cold, and also numbbbbb. it's horrible. then my mum refused to turn off the lights, bcos she claims that she shall call my father who is out for dinner to bring me to the hospital. she went on and on nagging about how long my fever and sickness has been going on, and it will fryyyyyyy my brain alive, and demand that i shall NOT go to school -to which i wince in fear and argue that there are tests!-.
and my mum pounces on it and goes AHA! ok she didn't but she says all the more i should rest and not fry my brain further or something like that. i was so upset and just wanted to sleeppppp. couldn't they leave a poor sick one to rest! and after several more doses of head-numbing and aching cold pads, with the lights still on, i couldn't sleep. and finally my mum got rid of the cold pads and used my face-towel.
it's much better, cooling but not too cold. basically my mum got me to change into some clothes and started packing my water bottle and a jacket in case i felt cold and stuff like that. oh and my previous medications. she is practically positive that i have some unknown germ in my lungs and stomach that is causing this unceasing fever and cough, as well as a full stomach everytime i eat something.
yes i feel extremely full when i eat anything. and feel like vomiting, esp after coughing very hard. and slightly breathless and my lungs are practically bursting. -dies- and my father decides it's pneumonia, while my mum thinks it's dengue fever. though i don't have the rashes. i have plenty of mosquito bites though. i have very sweet and attractive blood.
basically at around 11 plus i get sent off in my father's car to NUH, and eventually to children's emergency. i had to wear this mask. by then my temperature has dropped to 37.4, which is what i predicted would happen had they left me sleeping in my comfortable bed at homeee. they should have at least sent me on saturday, with all the tests overrrrrrrr!
my mum was nagging about how it will become worse and i will have to be admitted to hospital, and get showered in COLD FREEZING WATER. and how bad it will be. she loves exaggerating. she was exaggerating to my dad about how my eyes fall upwards and my face is very pale and my lips are very red. =.="
and i went to the fever facility, where i took my weight and it's 43.5kg! i guess it's bad bcos it means that my muscles are losing weight. nvm but they took my blood pressure and stuff like that, then left me trying to sleep in that uncomfortable chair.
it's straight-backed, so i can't get comfortable lying down. so i leaned to one side, and the other, but the mask is very annoying, and it's extremely hot breathing up ur spectacles all the time due to the mask. it's just like the mask is trapping all the heat around my mouth and nose. GAH.
anyway i tried to sleep, and spent a longg time there, watching some other little girl sleeping on a nice comfortable bed, with her mother patting her and her father reading some book by the side. my parents were walking around the place and standing around my booth. yes there are like booths with a wall separating different booths, and mine is no. 11. yah and there's this biohazard bin and a cleaner came around in a mask and gloves and tongs picking up litter and throwing them away into a yellow bag. and stuff like that.
basically the nurses there are pretty nice, and they are rather friendly. but i waited, and waited, and waited in that stifling mask and the air-con that is not very nice and the chair that is uncomfortable, until around 1am. finally a doctor came. it's a female! i don't like male ones anyway. she's doctor ng and very nice. and she asked me and my parents about my condition, and we juz told her lah, and showed her my medication and stuff like that.
then she checked my heartbeat and lungs and breathing and stuff like that, and asked me about my coughing and my fever and about how i feel very full after eating just a little food. although i was very hungry b4 eating, the sighting of food and eating it makes me feel bloateddd. and water, too.
anyway, she asked me to take a blood test and a x-ray to check for any germs or viruses that is in me. yah so eventually i am given this cup that says "SPECIMEN" on it and my mum says it's to take my urine sample. =.="
i never took urine samples b4 and i am disgusted with the idea. bcos i didn't want to dirty myself or my fingers with my urine, but it couldn't be helped. just so happens i felt urgent. it turned out fine, and i didn't dirty myself. -beams- success! then had to change into some weird robe and took the x-ray. then after going back to sleep -or trying to go back to sleep- i had to take the blood test. i was happy bcos it's what i have been waiting for!
i am familiar with blood tests and are not afraid of them, and so im happy. and the nurse was nice and treated me as though im a kid afraid of injections -heh im not- and she took the injection, and i was looking at it. it was sooooo cool. i didn't feel scared. weird. i used to feel scared. and it was painful, but i didn't wince either. and then she pulled the needle out of my flesh, and put this cotton over it and asked me to hold it, and i did. it felt better than the initial injection, which hurts the most. and then she put the plaster over it. and she was shaking my blood sample, probably to get it mixed or something. heehee.
something like using the microtubes and stuff in bio.
and while i was stoning on the chair i was thinking about physics stuff. gamma rays are shortest and the whole order to radiowaves. to think of it, i have to find mr. tan to do the eoi. i hateeeee making up for stuff. esp alone. bcos i don't like to. humph.
anyway, by that time it's around 2plus, and i went to my car to sleep, it's more comfortable bcos i could lie flat on the back seats, and waited for the x-ray and blood test results. eventually my father got my medicine, and the results, and a MC that declares me unfit for 5 days, until tuesday. and since it's alrd 3am when i reached home, it seems quite impossible for me to go to school on friday.
once i reached home i plopped onto bed and went to sleep. of course not b4 my mum giving my medicine. then i had a heavenly sleep that is dreamless until 8am my mum woke me up for another dose of medication, and at 9am again. it's sooo irritating when i want to sleep. but my poor mum and dad, they slept later than me but woke earlier than me. and my dad called the school or something. i couldn't be bothered. sleep was best.
for almost the whole day i slept. although there were homework i could do. but basically i was too tired. or it was simply comfortable lying like that. and i just fell asleep. haha and i read my book at night. and then went to sleep. although i felt very hungry. sleep is the best bcos u don't feel hungry. my parents give me food in small portions so i won't feel too bloated and full. and now i feel hungry all the time until i get to eat food.
sigh. i think flu is catching up with me. i hope i can go to school on monday and recover by then, but my mc is until tuesday...
I will have to take the english sa and physics eoi after school or something. and take cip on another day.
questions i have in mind now.
- anyone else absent? [i seriously doubt so. why be absent on a day that is so...impt!!!!!]
- how long are the eng sa and the physics eoi? [so i can set a time with ms linn and mr. tan respectively. obviously not very nice.]
- anyone is taking cip on another day from our class?
- any homework? [only for history i guess, since it's the only exam-free lesson. only good thing about friday is that it's mostly exams and u noe u are not missing much lessons.]

and while i was stoning on the chair i was thinking about physics stuff. gamma rays are shortest and the whole order to radiowaves. to think of it, i have to find mr. tan to do the eoi. i hateeeee making up for stuff. esp alone. bcos i don't like to. humph.
anyway, by that time it's around 2plus, and i went to my car to sleep, it's more comfortable bcos i could lie flat on the back seats, and waited for the x-ray and blood test results. eventually my father got my medicine, and the results, and a MC that declares me unfit for 5 days, until tuesday. and since it's alrd 3am when i reached home, it seems quite impossible for me to go to school on friday.
once i reached home i plopped onto bed and went to sleep. of course not b4 my mum giving my medicine. then i had a heavenly sleep that is dreamless until 8am my mum woke me up for another dose of medication, and at 9am again. it's sooo irritating when i want to sleep. but my poor mum and dad, they slept later than me but woke earlier than me. and my dad called the school or something. i couldn't be bothered. sleep was best.
for almost the whole day i slept. although there were homework i could do. but basically i was too tired. or it was simply comfortable lying like that. and i just fell asleep. haha and i read my book at night. and then went to sleep. although i felt very hungry. sleep is the best bcos u don't feel hungry. my parents give me food in small portions so i won't feel too bloated and full. and now i feel hungry all the time until i get to eat food.
sigh. i think flu is catching up with me. i hope i can go to school on monday and recover by then, but my mc is until tuesday...

racialy harmony day celebrations
Hello.
For the past week, I have been awfully sick. With high temperatures of at least 38, i am having fever as well as cough. occasionally sneezing. but mainly cough. anyway, i went to the doctor's place -influence from french structure- [clinic] and waited for around 1 hour. -AND I FORGOT TO BRING MY BOOK ALONG! SO I WAS SITTING THERE COUGHING ALONG WITH 10 OTHER PPL.-
basically, i got an mc, and plenty of medication. the medicine tasted horrible. and he gave some cough syrup. like im a kiddddd. kiddddds take cough syrup. adults take TABLETS. but i have some anti-inflammation thingy, syrup and panadol, to be taken thrice a day, and some lozenges to be taken 4 times daily.
basically, those medication are NOT effective. heh.
plus today racial harmony i ate a lot of fried and veryyyyy sweet stuff -until i felt like puking it out...it's so disgustingly sweet!- and basically ate everything the doctor asked me not to. im supposed to avoid sweet food, fried food, spicy food, and drink warm water. of which i did the exact opposite. and since the water cooler water is cold, yeah u noe.
and i have an mc! but i didn't use it. but i became really sick towards 1pm. and i stayed in class to finish science ws. ended up being really frustrated bcos i want to eat lunch! and oso though i could do it quickly. but yah. im really impatient and all. plus i felt awfully sick. and blaws was saying she had slight fever -hah i bet i spread it to her, or maybe ck or suvee or sorn-
then she touched my forehead and exclaimed that mine was muchhhh hotter than hers! and i felt hers and thought it was normal. but she said she felt dizzy and kept walking around. i was different. i had a headache and felt dizzy too, but if i walked around i would feel worse. i had to sit down and rest. but well science ws...
anyway it's supposed to be due today, but i decided to hand up on monday. heehee.
hmm...track finals was eventful. only our track ppl went bcos not enough tickets. national stadium is under renovations, so they used choa chu kang, which is really small! so we had only 50 tickets. for the WHOLE team. plus teachers and stuff. so it was really squeezy.
then some person asked us to go sit with rjc, -yay! bcos we chose seats that's very far at the end, and cedar's flags blocked our view. heh.- and rjc was sitting near middle. next to hci. and of course hci was veryyyyyyy loud! i really admire their enthusiasm. they had the most no. of flags, banners, and they painted their faces yellow and red, or rather the counsellors did, and they brought all the sec ones plus the counsellors lah. so it's a really big crowddd.
and they were really enthu. they cheered very loudly, covering poor raffles. although the raffles ppl who led the cheer were very enthu too. yah. but our sch have only one measly flag. heh.
uhh yah. and i had sore throat, but i still cheered anyway, and realised that i have a dreadful cough bcos i cheered. gahhhhhh. and then now im very sick. and then i have piano tmr, as well as my piano concert on sunday! and im not even nervous! ok i am, im nervous bcos im not nervous at all about the concert. =.="
gah, i will become nervous right during the concert and play wrong notes! esp it's a duet, with celeste again! now we are the duet pair who always play during the bimonthly concerts. haha. we have mo4 qi4. hee.
wish me luck for e cough and fever and headache and generally my sickness. then i don't have to worry about coughing in the middle of playing. >.<

paris lost ):
ahhh...paris lost the bid to host 2012 olympics!!! i am devastated! sigh...all hopes of going to paris for olympics is dashed. but, on the other hand, at least paris managed to avoid having a terrorist attack. London is really pitiful, six bombings all in the same day! oh dear...all those poor innocent people hurt and dying, it makes my heart ache just seeing them on the news.
i wonder if anyone my father or brother knows is hurt over there.
anyway, there has been quite a lot of stuff to do, and i still have to finish my geog pt, and there is a history sa coming up, and a lit fa, as well as the lit sa next next week. and of course track i wish everyone good luck for track nationals! esp chew min, who got into the semi finals for 100m! it's tmr though...GOOD LUCK! BONNE CHANCE!
haha well, i didn't feel quite happy ytd...in fact, i broke out at my father. poor father, im really sorry. i didn't mean to be so horrible and mean, yelling at u and shouting at you like that. i was in a really bad mood to begin with, and my father actually went through all my homework AGAIN. i told him not to b4, and yet...and then he interrupted me in the middle of my work, and i was really upset. and i simply wanted him to leave me alone for a while and give me some peace to do my stuff, but the more i asked him to go, the more he refused.
i guess he's juz like me, he's juz as stubborn as i am.
it was bad. i feel really bad. one part of my mind was asking me to simply listen to him and say yes yes yes and then he will leave after that. but the other part, the one i listened to, it was very impatient and made me pour out all the anger and moodiness and all the upsetting feelings i had. i simply said what i was thinking at that time. "please leave me alone!" although there were times where i said this rather calmly, he refused to go, and wanted to know what is wrong. he wasn't even scolding me, why was i so angry?
i was angry because he didn't follow what i said, and leave me alone at peace.
and then during dinner, he told me to control my anger and stuff like that. i was really upset. and i can't help it. im still young, i still have a long way to learn how to control my anger and curb it. i just can't calm myself down the right way when im really angry. sigh.
now i have yet another weakness i can add to the long list of weaknesses. hotheadedness.
at least i can say i have some conscience and i felt very very very sorry afterwards. when i was extremely calmed. and i forgot loads of what i said and what he said. that's how i am. i always forget upsetting stuff after a while. but i rmb parts of upsetting stuff too. the impt parts, the gist of them, and they stay with me forever. i have nailed a hole inside my father's heart. no matter how i try to make up for it, there will always be a hole there.
i am really sorry. really sorry.
but there's nothing i can do now. it is all because of my pride, and dignity, and i refused to say sorry. all i can do now is just be as nice to my father as possible. he may be gone any moment, for all i noe, and i really should be nice to him while i still can. you never know when you can just lose people. i always keep in mind to be nice to my father, but i just always forget. why is it that difficult to rmb? i've got to rmb. before it's too late for me to regret.
anw, rgs open house coming up. i have to perform some chinese song for the keyboard music. all because of lc and yinfei larh! they refused to play it and insisted on singing instead. they KNEW i loveeee singing! humph. nvm. lc better rmb to bring the music score. i have to start learning it. i have a piano concert on 24th july. coming up soon! and im playing a duet with celeste -again. yes again- i believe we have a lot of mo qi, and we play well with each other! and she's really nice to be with. yep.
and my birthday is almost here! it's on 17th july, this sunday! -hinthint- it's a very obvious hint indeed. but oh well. im rather narcissistic after all. and yeah, i don't noe what i want. a mp3? but that's really ex and no one will be willing to buy me one anyway, so forget it. it's too ex. money? haha juz joking. er...i noe blaws is giving me raisins. >.< i want books! anything lah. what matters is your sincerity and thought. haha
i wish my bro will give me something for my birthday. bcos im giving him one, -but he doesn't noe that-, and he nv gave me a birthday pressie b4! -neither have i- i shall see. but he says he will purposely forget my birthday. so that's quite hopeless lah. but he's given me quite some things b4 alrd. im really grateful to him. as in he didn't give them to me on purpose, but he gave them without thought. but im really grateful lah. he'a really a nice person.
i shall read many books. hope rgs win the blogging championships. vote ppl! sms "vote nibc pos" to 96183799, and each sms is charged at the regular charges. thx! ^^

mission accomplished.
hello all.
u muz be wondering what mission it is. ok here goes.
I CAN CYCLE!
yeah i can't really swerve properly, and when i turn left or right sometimes i juz stop. and im not sure i can u-turn. but well, i can cycle straight! and avoid ppl, and go fast or slow when i want to. though maintaining a super slow speed is very difficult. but yes! and i can brake and yess! in juz one day. in juz 2 hours. or less?
well today i went to bedok mrt for our 6L gathering. we went to giant and 7-eleven to buy bbq stuff. then we went to east coast park. and well, walked around the beach and started a bbq. unfortunately, the wind was extremely strong. -think geog- the sea breeze, in the day, where the land is warmer than the sea, and the pressure is higher at the sea, so the air moves towards the lower pressure area at land, and so the wind was blowing furiously at us. -facing the sea of course-
and yeah the fire juz doesn't start. the matchsticks went out the very moment it lit up. the lighter is cranky too, and doesn't have any fire. only some weird sparks. yeah after trying to start a fire, but to no avail, i decided to ask other ppl to help us. of course, all other girls, -btw all the guys went of to look for bicycles to rent, and more went to look for more bicycles, leaving us 4 ppl only to start a pathetic fire.-
ok basically the others refused to ask, or even accompany me to ask, so i, under such desperate situations, picked up my couraged and approached a group of adults, some malay, who are in the shelter with some food there. and yeah we got help. he ended up lighting the fire in the dustbin, and then hurrah! the fire got started and yeah it got wrapped up in charcoal, and soon it was burning brightly. and well we decided to go get a bicycle at this point. bcos we needed some time to let the charcoal heat up.
and we trooped off. and i of course don't noe how to cycle, but hoping they will help me. and when i was small, i sat on the back of a bicycle in china b4, some relative's one, then she [she's about my age] swerved suddenly and stopped too fast, and i fell off the bike and scraped my knee. and it bled. yeah and it's rather scary falling isn't it.
but i realised that cycling is easier than ice-skating, or roller-blading, bcos u can use ur arms to help too. basically after renting the bikes, my frens dumped me behind, and went off cycling, and i, poor thing, was left there helplessly trying to get the bike to move. it juz kept moving left, or right, and neverrrrr straight.
and i juz can't get my balance. after struggling for a while, some guy -he's nice- came over and taught me. but not very useful though. juz stuff about when to pedal and start off, and he held on to the back of my bicycle, and somehow i managed to make a few pedals with him and after he let go. of course i didn't noe that, but well, juz a few pedals, then i stopped. i didn't realise there were brakes of course. i was moving soooooo slowly i didn't need brakes.
and after a few tries which were pathetically useless, -and he was encouraging me =P- i fell. hard. my whole body fell sideways, onto my right knee, which got scraped against the sand and rocks. and now there are several claw-like scratches on my knee. and ouch it hurts. but me, as being the brave me, didn't cry, and didn't clutch it in pain and writhing on the ground in agony. i juz got up, got all the sand off me, -and loads of dirt. in my wound there were soo much dirt. all embedded in the wound and couldn't be washed away no matter how i tried afterwards.-
well i didn't even look at my knee and see how serious it was -if not i would freak out. it was bleeding like so much and the whole thing is red PLUS lots of dirt.-
not to forget a big fat bruise on my left shin bone. yes. it's still red, but will turn purple soon. and is rather swollen.
i juz continued trying to cycle helplessly. when my frens came back and tried to teach me. and apparently they are not very good teachers, and not much patience too. so soon they gave up and juz went off on their own, leaving me, poor me, to myself. and i tried to get my way back by cycling. and i tried. and i tried. it was veryyyyyy slow. very. agonzingly. slow.
and not much improvement. i was encouraging myself, that i HAVE to learn how to cycle todayyyy, and since i rented it, the money WILL NOT go to waste. i MUST get back to the barbecue pit! which is about 15 to 20 minutes walk away.
so. i was half-convinced to juz get off, and walk the bicycle back. it's less tiring, and easier, and faster. then my frens came back, and continue teaching me. not much help though. and then. VOILA! yi tong appeared. ^^ i was excited to see her! she's sooo nice. and i was convinced she would be able to teach me how to cycle. and she's quite a good teacher.
my frens left me and yi tong on our slow journey back. while trying to learn how to cycle. she held onto the handle bars and guided me along, so that i could simply pedal in a straight line. eventually i found out that if i start turning to the right i simply have to turn the handle bars back to the left and lean my body to the left and then right. and vice versa. so that i won't fall over. and i will be able to get my balance that way, and cycle straight.
her arms so strong lah! i mean, she held on, even when i was toppling over to the right or left, she managed to help pull me back. my whole body weight, plus the bicycle. wow.
well we made it back to the bbq pit. our progress was rather slow. i kept stopping bcos i swerved to the right and left. constantly. juz can't be straight. but of course u can't, we were moving at a snail's speed!
then we continued with the bbq. and cooked all kinds of weird food. i had no appetite. i mean by then it's almost 3. didn't really have a lunch. i ate a packet of biscuits at around 12.30pm, and a cup of a&w root beer. yeah i wasn't hungry after that. didn't really eat much lah. lotss of food leftover.
then i continued cycling with yitong holding on to the bars. she wanted to roller blade, and rent the skates, so yeah. and she did. then we realised she can't really guide me on wheels, so i had to try to cycle on my own. so i tried.
it was difficult starting off, but once i got started, i felt exactly the same as when she was holding on, except i had to turn to keep balance for myself. and no more pressure on the handle bars. uhhh so when i turned towards the right i simply turned back to the left and got my balance again. i managed to cycle a little at first. and yitong was encouraging me, saying that yeah i can cycle alrd.
yeah i was veryyyy happy. but i have to perfect it more. so i practised. and soon i was able to cycle! practise makes perfect. (:
yay! it's one of my dreams come true. and one mission accomplished. it's the only thing i can be proud of. yay!
yah and i spent the whole day cycling around. plenty of practise avoiding ppl, and swerving, braking, turning right and left. didn't dare try u-turn though. >.< too narrow. and well, i am able to catch up with all my other friends! yay!
but my hands got rather tired. heh. and i tried another kind of bicycle bcos my fren wanted to exchange. and it was veryyy difficult to pedal and keep balance. and once u go off u move very very very quickly. a little scary moving so fast. later what if u had to emergency brake?
after all im still rather inexperienced. and i got used to the pain in my knee, and ignored it. until i washed it and stuck on some plasters i have in my wallet. then at the bicycle rentals, the auntie was very nice, and she saw im hurt, so she got some alchohol or dunno what thing, very cooling, and she rubbed veryyy hard in my wounds. rather painful, but i didn't scream of cry. -beams- she said she has to get rid of all the dirt, get it out. and they are embedded in the wound. so imagine how painful that was. then she got some medicine, and helped me apply. yeah. and it's quite ok lah.
very nice experience. im proud that im able to learn to cycle in such a short time! and the method of holding on to the handlebars is rather effective. u get used to the momentum of the bicycle, and turning here and there. then when no one is holding on, u juz try a few times and with the correct pedaling and all, off u go! ^^
u muz be wondering what mission it is. ok here goes.

so. i was half-convinced to juz get off, and walk the bicycle back. it's less tiring, and easier, and faster. then my frens came back, and continue teaching me. not much help though. and then. VOILA! yi tong appeared. ^^ i was excited to see her! she's sooo nice. and i was convinced she would be able to teach me how to cycle. and she's quite a good teacher.
my frens left me and yi tong on our slow journey back. while trying to learn how to cycle. she held onto the handle bars and guided me along, so that i could simply pedal in a straight line. eventually i found out that if i start turning to the right i simply have to turn the handle bars back to the left and lean my body to the left and then right. and vice versa. so that i won't fall over. and i will be able to get my balance that way, and cycle straight.
her arms so strong lah! i mean, she held on, even when i was toppling over to the right or left, she managed to help pull me back. my whole body weight, plus the bicycle. wow.
well we made it back to the bbq pit. our progress was rather slow. i kept stopping bcos i swerved to the right and left. constantly. juz can't be straight. but of course u can't, we were moving at a snail's speed!
then we continued with the bbq. and cooked all kinds of weird food. i had no appetite. i mean by then it's almost 3. didn't really have a lunch. i ate a packet of biscuits at around 12.30pm, and a cup of a&w root beer. yeah i wasn't hungry after that. didn't really eat much lah. lotss of food leftover.
then i continued cycling with yitong holding on to the bars. she wanted to roller blade, and rent the skates, so yeah. and she did. then we realised she can't really guide me on wheels, so i had to try to cycle on my own. so i tried.
it was difficult starting off, but once i got started, i felt exactly the same as when she was holding on, except i had to turn to keep balance for myself. and no more pressure on the handle bars. uhhh so when i turned towards the right i simply turned back to the left and got my balance again. i managed to cycle a little at first. and yitong was encouraging me, saying that yeah i can cycle alrd.
yeah i was veryyyy happy. but i have to perfect it more. so i practised. and soon i was able to cycle! practise makes perfect. (:
yay! it's one of my dreams come true. and one mission accomplished. it's the only thing i can be proud of. yay!
yah and i spent the whole day cycling around. plenty of practise avoiding ppl, and swerving, braking, turning right and left. didn't dare try u-turn though. >.< too narrow. and well, i am able to catch up with all my other friends! yay!
but my hands got rather tired. heh. and i tried another kind of bicycle bcos my fren wanted to exchange. and it was veryyy difficult to pedal and keep balance. and once u go off u move very very very quickly. a little scary moving so fast. later what if u had to emergency brake?
after all im still rather inexperienced. and i got used to the pain in my knee, and ignored it. until i washed it and stuck on some plasters i have in my wallet. then at the bicycle rentals, the auntie was very nice, and she saw im hurt, so she got some alchohol or dunno what thing, very cooling, and she rubbed veryyy hard in my wounds. rather painful, but i didn't scream of cry. -beams- she said she has to get rid of all the dirt, get it out. and they are embedded in the wound. so imagine how painful that was. then she got some medicine, and helped me apply. yeah. and it's quite ok lah.
very nice experience. im proud that im able to learn to cycle in such a short time! and the method of holding on to the handlebars is rather effective. u get used to the momentum of the bicycle, and turning here and there. then when no one is holding on, u juz try a few times and with the correct pedaling and all, off u go! ^^

holidays
Congratulations Cherica, you are...
'PoiPoi' Apple Lim of verypoisonouslady.blogspot.com
You look like a stereotypical bimbo outside but its a different story inside. You're a nice, simple, proud and straightforward person who believes what you're doing is right. You don't change people, and you love them for who they are. Your primary goal in life is to be happy, next to being pretty. You have your detractors but you don't let them bring you down. You go out of your way to help others out even before they ask, and for that they love you.
weird girl. bimbo on the outside. right. =P
Your Birthdate: July 17 |
Your birth on the 17th day of the month suggests that you are very lucky financially, because this date indicates a solid business sense. Although you are probably very honest and ethical, this birthday enables you to be shrewd and successful in the world of business and commercial enterprise. You have excellent organizational, managerial, and administrative capabilities enabling you to handle large projects and significant amounts of money with relative ease. You are ambitious and highly goal-oriented, although you may be better at starting projects than you are at finishing them. A sensitivity in your nature, often repressed below the surface of awareness, makes it hard to give or receive affection. |
This is extremely accurate. Not sure about the last sentence, but yes im rather sensitive. And go look at blaws' blog with her quiz results. it's quite accurate too. heh.

reflections. heh
On the first day of my service learning onsite service at the student care centre, my partner Guo Ling and I organised activities for the children there. We were in charge of English, and so our activities were related to the subject English. I was very nervous, as I was not sure what the children would think of me, that the activities would bore the children out, that they would not listen to me, that they would be very mischievous and would play tricks on me and so on. But it was my first experience contributing to the society in some way, and also interacting with so many children, so I was excited too.
I was afraid to face the children alone, and preferred doing the activities with Guo Ling. Fortunately there were not too many children there, only about 39 children in all, ranging from primary 1 to primary 6. Most of them were lower primary children, and there were fewer upper primary children, so we could put them all into one classroom, or into the office to watch a movie. There is a VCD player there, but no DVD player.
There is a nap time for all the children from around 1.30pm to 3pm, during which we are also invited to sleep with them. Thus, we actually do not have to have any activities during this time. Mr Hans suggested that we can actually have our activities afterwards, like from 3pm to 5pm. He also told us that we could stay until anytime we want. But that day Mr Hans sent only the p1s up to sleep, and those who wanted to sleep also went to sleep. Then the rest can do the activities. Although Mr Hans says that the children can skip their nap, the activities are going to be on a daily basis for the whole of June holidays, so he wants the children to have their nap everyday if possible. Thus, we can cut down on our boring activities, and we can prepare treasure hunts during their naptime and then have it organised after their nap.
When we asked Mrs Hans whether we can bring them to the void deck, she said no, that we would disturb the neighbours and the children would make a lot of noise. But we can use the amphitheatre and basketball courts. However, she thinks that any outdoor activities would best be done in the morning before the children’s baths. She says it could be organised from 9 – 10am, and the children get sweaty and dirty then they could take their bath. Then eat their lunch afterwards. But the problem is that is too early for our onsite service. So we probably will not do that, and try to do everything within the centre.
For example the treasure hunts, we can do it all around the centre, such as in the classrooms and also the dance studio which is quite big, around 1 and a half the size of a classroom, and it is also the place where the children take their nap. But Mr Hans does not want any activities that involve running inside the classrooms, as there are many tables and chairs and the children will knock into them and hurt themselves. We can also move the tables to the sides so that the middle is empty, and then organize our activities. We had our icebreakers like that in a circle in the middle of the classroom, and we played Wacko. The children enjoyed themselves very much, and they love playing games a lot.
We can play games with them the whole day and they don’t mind. We played Wacko for more than an hour, and although we planned to play concentration and taboo, we ended up not playing them at all. We learnt through the hard way that we should not give the children boring activities. They are easily bored and they talk all the time. Unless it is something interesting and the activity involves them, or captures their attention, e.g. Wacko. Otherwise, they would keep on talking and playing among themselves. The good thing is, Mrs Hans is there and she keeps them quiet for us. Guo Ling and I are not very outspoken, and are not able to keep all the children quiet despite our efforts. So Mrs Hans was a great help as she can control the children well. Since she is around she repeats our questions for us so that they pay attention.
The children were not very interested in quizzes, even though there were prizes. The majority only answered when Mrs Hans asked them, instead of us, because they were talking so loudly they could not hear us, and some were even doing their homework. They are very restless too, and have a short attention span. I was very worried and exasperated that the children are so energetic and keep on chatting among themselves instead of listening to us, and they are reluctant sitting with people other than their closer friends.
The children definitely will be bored to death if we lecture them on this and that, or if they have to write essays. They have their own homework to worry about already, and the naughty ones keep disturbing other the other children, tickling them, poking them, punching them etc. There is a duster in each of the two classrooms, and one marker in one of them
It was really scary at first and they made fun of our names, but since children are like that, I do not take it to heart. When they are having fun, I myself have fun too and I actually enjoyed it as much as they do! Overall I enjoyed the session quite well, as everything went very smoothly. It gives me a great sense of achievement to have finished my session successfully and to see the children’s happy faces especially. In the midst of teaching them, I had fun as well and learnt a lot about teaching children, such as we should not give them assignments to do and bore them out. Instead, we should organised games and activities from which they can learn as well as have fun in the most interesting and creative ways.
I am happy at the end of the session, because I know I have made a difference in the children’s life and they had enjoyed themselves because of me. The activities brought the children closer together, and they learnt many things that they never knew about us, as well as their friends all around them. They also interacted with each other and were able to work together with each other as a team. This made me happy, and I am looking forward to the next session I am having with them.
that's my reflections for the first session of my service learning. at bukit batok cc, the student care centre on monday. u get the idea of how it was. plus some crap at the end as it's a reflections after all. haha. well tmr im going for yet another session, and the last sentece above isn't really true, bcos im not very looking forward to the next session, but oh well. heh
ytd i went to join the track and field camp. i cuoldn't go bcos i haf sl, so yeah. sigh. and i can't go tmr for the leadership camp at my primary school. a lot of my ex-classmates are going, but i can't. again bcos of sl. it's very exhausting u noe, keeping up with ur schedule, keeping up with the sl activities, keeping up with the children esp. i was soooooo tired by the end of monday. and even moreeeeee more more more more tired by the end of ytd.
now im going to talk about ytd. apparently track ppl are not very disciplined. or most that is. i am very disciplined. -beams- they all woke up late. so we were behind schedule. supposed to have briefing for the challenge by 9am, but ended up briefing at 9.30am. and preparation for challenge. we set off at around 9.55am to the first station, which is at bedok jetty.
in our group there's only 5 ppl, which is so not fair, bcos other groups had more, like 7 ppl! anyway, there's jane, kimberly, weiling, me and irmelia. 2 sec 3s, 2 sec 2s, and 1 sec 1. quite an interesting combination. haha well, we don't noe where bedok jetty is, so the wonderful kimberly called up her many friends. it's amazing how big her network of friends is.
she called up so many ppl and we compiled different routes to get there. we were supposed to get the victoria school and take some underpass and then u will get there. diff routes include: u can take mrt to bedok and change bus there. forgot what bus. u can take mrt to dhoby ghaut and change bus to get to some school that her friend is and she will direct us from there. u can take mrt to paya lebar and change bus.
well we met all the other groups on the mrt train, so after exchanging info, we decided on the last route. to paya lebar. and we spent ages waiting for the bus, and even longer than ages on the bus to bedok jetty. or rather, to VS. then finally arriving VS more than an hour later, we walked aimlessly, ok other than the two seniors in front who looked like they knew the way, we walked. and walked. and walked.
walked for around 20 min in the hot sun, and occasionally in the shade in some ulu looking road and then along a road that seems to be a highway. weird walking along highways isn't it. the so-called underpass happened to be 20min walk away from VS. haha how funny. yeah right we could haf juz gotten to VS and juz take the underpass.
how in the world are we supposed to know that the underpass is so far away!!!
got to some kind of park finally. thought that bedok jetty is somewhere around. there was a lagoon or something like a big pond there. very murky, dirty, unclear, muddy and greyish looking one. the water is so...not nice. by this time it's about 11.30am. the sun was very very hot. and no wind. walked another...let's say, 5 minutes? thashi and i decided to walk faster so that there would be more wind and yeah we walked faster. trying to catch up with the two seniors in front. very far in front.
walk walk walk.
after another 10 minutes,we caught up with the two seniors. and we saw the sea. finally. so bedok jetty HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE THERE RIGHT? right.
well there was this lagoon ville or something like that. forgot the name. there's some hawker centre there. and a carpark. ok that's good. civilisation.
walk walk walk.
this is juz like those movies or shows where the characters walk aimlessly in the desert, not knowing where to go, where they were going, whether it's correct or not, and the sun was so hot and shining very brightly. it dehydrates us and makes us feel hopeless and u start hallucinating...STOP. we didn't get to that point yet. but yeah i was thinking of that. we were dehydrating and feeling hopeless though. my limited water supply was running out.
walk walk walk.
another 5 minutes later, we see a bike/roller blade rental shop. and sells some drinks and food too. the other side was a kayak rental shop. there's some canal in front with a short bridge across, and railings. and uh it stinks. and there's this bird sanctuary which has a sign that says "Beware of falling coconuts."
There's not even a coconut tree in sight. lots of trees yes, but not coconut trees. and no birds either. weird. i would be more scared of bird's droppings. they should be a sign, "Beware of falling bird's droppings." haha ok there's some police car there too. no policemen in sight though.
oh and by then u can see the jetty! hurray! however, it's very very far away, and u can see it bcos it's one longggg thing sticking out over the water. brown in colour from far. woody looking. looks like about 1 plus km in front? or more. maybe 1.2km.
doesn't matter. it gives me hope anyway. but it also makes me feel hopeless. bcos i can see that the jetty is still a long way away. very very long way. by then my legs were falling off, and my feet hurt. aching. tired.
ok about 10 minutes later, we arrived there, and i plopped onto the ground. so nice to rest my feet. but the sun's shining and there's no shade. very hot. after a while i joined the others to go to the bike shop there to buy drinks. well, that's a big mistake. bcos it's so far away. another 10 minutes walk there and then 10 mins back.
should haf rested there at the jetty, but sigh i needed a drink. a cold drink. so bought h2o and took a straw -to prevent swirling of drink in the mouth- haha and then went back to the jetty. we ate lunch, but i didn't realise it was lunch then. we shared oreo biscuits and potato chips. that's all. i was hungry then. haha well, it wasn't much of a lunch, but it had to do. we should haf eaten an apple or something.
then in our groups, we played against another group to see who would get the clue first. we had to try to take the bottle and run back without being tagged. then u get one point for ur group. oh and our station master [abigail] labelled us 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. then she called whatever number then that number run out. since either we kept being tagged or we kept standing there glaring at each other waiting for them to pick up the bottle so we can tag them, she kept changing the labelling. haha
she called us by our events, like sprints, jumps, long-d. she labelled us using a, b, c, d, e. she labelled us using f, g, h, i, j. yeah it took ages. then finally the other team won, 3-2. sigh. they got the clue first, and they set off. abi told us that they were setting off in the wrong direction by accident, so haha! we knew the direction to go! yeah!
well we were to be given our clue 5 minutes later. so we sang songs entertaining her. so she will up our marks. and yeah. the clue to the second station was "located at a big obstructive object nearby".
so we walked. and we walked. we considered trees, the bike rental, the kayak rental, and then eventually we reached the hawker centre. and we decided it should be there. since the hawker centre to biggg. and there was a group there alrd. so we hurried there and yup it's a station!
we were supposed to finish 3 bottles of 1.5 litre mineral water. in the least possible time. they will time us. good way to prevent us from dehydrating. we split it by pouring into our own water bottles [of course they were empty lahh] and then we drank and drank and drank.
so bloated we were! [yoda way of speaking hee] and wei ling drank so much lor! like almost 2 litres or something. she drank so muchh! and so fasttt! and i drank more than 1 litre too. was half-dead by then. it was total torture! u noe the japanese water torture? yeah they made them drink lots of water. then stepped on their stomachs, forcing them to throw up the water.
we had half the torture!!!! oh well. it wasn't over though. we were supposed to buy a plate of food. but muz be carbohydrates. that is, rice, noodles and such. eeks. they were going to make us eat the food in the fastest possible time. another way to make sure we have lunch.
well we wanted to buy roti prata, but there wasn't any stall selling that. decided on fried rice, and asked the auntie to cook lesser food. hehe. but it turned out to be quite a lot though.
we were supposed to feed each other. eeks. and the food was sooooooooooo hot! and wasn't very full after the water drinking episode. [the understatement of the year] but the fried rice was nice though. i wanted fish cake, but irmelia juz didn't take any to feed me. ended up me putting fish cake into her spoon so that i get to eat fish cake. haha!
and kim wanted sotong so we gave her sotong. heehee and after that, kim went to buy hokkien prawn noodles. she said she would be hungry later on, bcos water won't make us full for long. quite true, but not in the mood to eat. and guess what the clue is?
exactly the same as the one b4. the "lovated at a big obstructive object nearby"
the station master said that we were at the wrong station. =.=" but then again it's correct what. unless we passed the station 2 along the way there. but apparently not. so that means abi gave us the wrong clue! humph very funny.
well, anyway we guessed it was the lagoon, and apparently it was correct, so we went to the lagoon. with kim lagging behind very slowly, eating her hokkien prawn noodles. haha. well got to the station 3.
we were supposed to put our faces into the flour, and using our mouths, dig up polo sweets inside. find the 15 polo sweets in the shortest possible time. and we saw the other groups looking very funny! haha their faces was covered in white flour. and their nose and mouths and teeth and all. eeks imagine eating flour! and walking around like that. >.<
well we had to do it, and we tried to blow. and blow. and blow. but it was not very useful. u can't use hands. so we blew like mad, but all the flour came up into our faces. and got my shirt and culottes all dirtied!
all white! and my hair too! sigh. well we wasted too much time blowing, so our timing was very slow. sigh apparently we won't win this time. last year my group won! first! and the games weren't this bad. second there were maps around sentosa last year, and also it was not this big. and we knew where to go and the direction, and if we asked ppl they knew the places!
unlike here. we don't know where to go! in addition to that we don't haf directions, only signboards which are useless. they say that the big splash was there. but the problem is [later we found out] it was about 2km away? i think they think we are cyclists. riding bicycles. but we are not allowed to take taxi, not allowed to rent bicycles and roller blades. [not that i know how to cycle or roller blade. but i can learn right?]
and anyway, the clue was something like this:
-e--o- -ow-r: think rapunzel
yeah and we couldn't figure anything out. thought maybe it's let your hair down or something. then we were thinking rapunzel lived in a enclosed room. so we thought maybe it's some enclosed space or room. then kim was like THAT'S IT! IT'S TOWER!
so the last word was tower. it fits too. then how about the first word? we walked on, and asked some cyclist whether there was some tower around. any tower. he didn't know anything. we thought it may be a lighthouse or something. and what's wrong with them? they don't know anythingg. see how big this place is???
then we walked back dunno why, then we met another group. they asked us whether we knew where the yellow tower is, =.=" and that's telling us the answer. it's the yellow tower! i mean they are so weird. they tell us the answer, and we end up going off together. candice told them it's all the way to the end, and it's very far, so good luck.
then we walked back to the 3rd station and met with another group. the three groups went along.
sigh as if our feet were not tired enough. and she was cycling. so it's fine for her. >.< yeah so we walked. and we walked. and walked. [again yes i know we walked alot]
the sun was very hot. again. but it's very sunny indeed. we need a yellow tower! appear appear pleaseee.
well for some reason kim decided it muz be mcdonald's. bcos it's yellow, and maybe it's shaped like a tower. she knew there's a mac's up ahead very far ahead, so it's possible that it's that.
so we walked. for about 35 minutes. and we reached mac's. and we went in. it wasn't a station. so we went to toilet, and i wanted to refill my water, but decided that it's too embarrassing. so i didn't. haha. well one of the groups left first.
my group left, then the second group, but eventually we waited for the second group. i don't understand why. if we are ahead of them, that means we will be able to do the station first! haha i know im evil. but it's a competition after all.
well we walked on. kim was moaning and groaning that she doesn't want to walk anymore. irmelia too. and weiling was putting on her serious face. frowning all the time again. and i was thinking cyndi's honey. haha and walked according to the rhythm. and was singing some songs i could rmb. lalala.
well after almost one hour since leaving the 3rd station, we reached the 4th one. and kim and i were in front, so that's good. our group reached first. haha. we saw a yellow tower, and there's a long stretch of the beach there. and some seniors were there.
we were supposed to take off our shoes and socks, and go into the water to make a group formation. choreograph something based on some theme. yeah and i changed into my shorts, so that later on i can change into my dry culottes. haha. and i borrowed a shirt from chew min earlier at school. in case mine gets wet or dirtied. -i can predict that we will get wet or dirtied. and i was correct for both. first the flour, then the sea.-
then we did based on kung fu. haha yeah. and we were all wet. and there was a dead jellyfish. washed onshore. -poor thing- it's transparent and buried in the sand. so poor thing non? hahahaha. ok nvm. i dun like the sea! i always get wet in the sea with my normal clothes on! i mean never ever ever had i had a swimsuit on in the sea! humph.
then we were supposed to finish a scavenger hunt, and bring 7 of the items to the 5th station. bonus items gave u more points. they are:
a school shirt [other than raffles ones]
5 male chest hairs [photographic evidence required]
a 15-20 year old male TDH
haha right. male chest hairs. >.< and TDH means tall dark and handsome. =P very funny.
other items include:
lipstick stain--[get a lady to kiss your cheek or ur shirt; photographic evidence needed]
a big black ant -alive-
animal remains
a coconut [unopened]
an energizer battery [empty]
a sprite or coke can with the ring on [used]
a seashell [complete]
a pong pong fruit
white sand
ask for a pad or tampon from a lady >.<
something like that. the animal remains! remember the jellyfish? yeah ester and other ppl let it out back into the sea. of course they didn't know of the scavenger hunt yet. but, it's animal remains!!! sigh
well our group got the ant, there was a coconut, but they said it's open, but there's only one leetle crack! we also got a seashell, and white sand [so easy], pongpong fruit, animal remains ie. a dead ant, squished by the brave jane. we asked them whether a handsome guy who looked tall sitting on the beach is eligible.
they said not dark enough. we argued that it can't be helped he's not tanned enough. "can't u see he is trying veryyyy hard to be dark by sitting down there tanning himself???!" a quote from weiling. haha.
we decided on a malay guy, who obviously is dark enough. not very handsome though. not sure if he's tall, but we asked him anyway. and yeah he's eligible. haha that's good. earlier on at station 4, we saw 3 idiots [well they look like idiots to us, so we gave them that nickname] and we wanted to ask them! but we weren't sure whether we want that item yet, so we didn't ask them in the end.
forgot what else we took. oh and irmelia said she has a pad, so she can juz say that we asked someone for it. haha. well not sure if we did use that idea. and we asked a lady whether she can kiss our shirt [which is wet and dirty and why in the world would anyone want to kiss our shirt!?] and unfortunately [fortunately for her] she says she has no lipstick.
in fact, why should anyone wear lipstick at the beach?
we should look for civilisation, like mac's where there's ppl who would wear lipstick. so we juz made our way on. oh and there's this disgusting couple who were kissing and kissing for a longg longggg time since we arrived at station 4. so disgusting. i mean they are like...oh nvm. >.<
well at station 5, the last station [yay!] it's the worst worst worst station ever! we chose a card, which says that we are to fill one and a half boxes of sand. since we only had 5 ppl, they let us fill one and one-third is enough.
we thought that's easy. but. we were supposed to go into the sea and wet ourselves, then roll on the sand to collect it, then scrape the sand on us into the boxes. first, i dun like the sea. second, the rolling on the sand thing is worse!!!
eeks! eeks! sand all over u! and u are wet too! and ur clothes are like sticking to u. it's so eeeeeeew.
well after a long time [or so it seems] we managed to fill one and one-third boxes with sand. we were really dead exhausted and dirty. and i couldn't stand myself. how to go home like that? on the mrt? juz sitting down anywhere? yeah but we played in the sea for a while. waiting for other groups to come. and we were cheering them on. haha. and i had a taste of the sea.
the sea is VERY SALTY. the saltiest water i haf ever tasted! i was going to choke to death on it. and it went up my nose too. and oh yes the water kept getting into my eyes! and my eyes would sting and hurt [bcos of the salt] and i can't see, and i used my hands, it becomes worse bcos my hands are wet with seawater too! and it's so hopeless, except to wait for my eyes to tear and then it will be fine.
and it keeps repeating itself, until i got fed up and got out of the sea. we dragged our seniors into the water and dumped them in! haha. retribution.
i shall not like the sea. ever.
that's about it. not sure who won the challenge. but i think our group was second. not bad. ^^ we ended the challenge around 5pm. or later? well i ate some icecream minies. forgot the brand. but it was nice. and i showered at a toilet. without shampoo and soap, but i had get rid of the salt crystals on my skin and hair! and sand not to forget. disgustingeth.
i muz haf walked at least, AT LEAST 10 km. but the good thing is, i have burnt more calories than i ever had in my life! yay! haha and i hardly ate lunch. but i made up for all those lost calories by eating 5 ice cream minis, and 2 pizzas, and 2 potato wedges. was super full by then. dunno why.
but i had to go home and eat dinner. so i ate dinner at home, rice, veggies and all. was very very full. i didn't eat a lot of the food though. but that's so much of calories back into my body. >.< and today i ate some mangosteens bcos my mum bought it, and some corn [yumyum] boiled to perfection, and half a bowl of herbal jelly which for some reason has too much honey. so sweet. look at how much i ate! and then i ate a slice of papaya after dinner. [muz eat fruits whatt. my mum always cut fruits one.] plus some sort of soup. for dinner. hmm. ok nvm. but so much calories!
and now im totally sunburnt. im darker than b4! as though im not dark enough. and not juz that, my face is no longer fair! it looks horrible. and my nose is red. [think rudolph the red nosed reindeer] haha
very itchy. im sunburnt! ahh...and something dropped from my spectacles, so i am using my blue spectacles. last year when i made my specs, my mum made me a spare one too. so yeah. the blue one. looks weird. i look weird!

last day of school!
hurray! it's the last day of school! the holidays are coming! yayyayyay! -jumps around the room-
ok. -calm down-. received results today. sigh. unfortunately blaws got higher gpa than me! -wails- humph. humph. i got gpa 3.49. so horrible. a biiiiggggg deprovement from last year! gahhh.
oh well. nvm. and can u believe it. the only subject that i got 4.0 for is chinese. CHINESE. sigh. apparently all my hard work paid off. but chinese was the ONLY subject i studied really hard for, and worked hard, reading chinese books and newspapers, conscientiously trying to improve it. and yeah. it improved. IM ABOVE THE MEDIAN! YAY! IM IN THE TOP 50%! YAY! ok. yeah.
im so motivated bcos i didn't want to disappoint my dad again. every year my dad applies for this prize for good results at 沈氏公会, and there's this chinese prize as well. and i always got the chinese prize in primary school. but last year my marks for chinese was like, 68. and my father didn't apply for the chinese prize bcos he said it's too low.
he said if it's above 70 [or was it 75?] then he would apply for it. and it hurts. it hurts a whole lot. and i really really really regretted not working harder at chinese. and so i really want to get above 75 for overall this year. so this is juz the beginning. there's still semester 2. and it's becoming harder. so i have to strive harder. but yeah. i hope it pays off.
and i shall work harder at all other subjects. esp maths. i compared my results with last year's, and realised i improved in all the subjects except for maths and science. science obviously. maths makes my heart ache. my best subject. always get at least 80 and above, -in pri sch obviously always 91 and above- always get 4.0, get A*. now reduced to only A. 73. same as median. how could it be?
it totally broke my heart. and my heart is still hurting. my pride. my honour. sigh. i have to work harder. i have to be flexibleeeee. not stiff and squarish and cannot think out of the box and whatnot. if the easy qns i can't do, and the diff qns i can't do, then what's the point? gahhhhh.
oh fine. i won't type out all my marks. too lazy too. but the gpa yeah.

long weekend!
hahaha it's monday. vesak day was ytd, but yeah there's still a holiday today! whee! i watched star wars episode III, and it's really nice. very very nice! it's rather touching too, thinking that it's the end of the star wars saga. no more. sigh.
ah results for the following -which is horrible-:
Chinese EOI: 73.5/100
English Pt: 24/30
History Pt: 13/20
Literature EOI: 23/25
Literature Pt: 5/12
notice the big difference between lit eoi and lit pt? yeah. i failed one and did exceptionally well for the other. sometimes crapping comes in useful. haha yeah but the percentage turns out to be...not very good.
i forgot all the different percentages for all the subjects, but my best gpa [provided all my marks are rounded up] is 3.528571429... which is the same as blaws. worst gpa [if none are rounded up, which is highly possible too] is 3.428571429. in which i will lose to blaws. humph. but nvm since blaws is so li hai, i shall not be upset over this. heehee.
BLAWS DON'T U DARE GLOAT OVER THIS.
at end of year, i wish to get a gpa of at least 3.6. if possible all my subjects aim for 4! but quite unlikely. since sec 2 is very difficult, and the standards are very high! sigh. got to do my best!
i shall go watch inuyasha now.

friday the thirteenth - White Friday
today is friday the thirteenth. i decided to be unconventional and call it white friday. bcos it's not exactly black and unlucky, and i had my pft today.
*note to all: perhaps you want to check my blog on friday nights, because i tend to blog on friday nights. because it's the end of the weekdays, and the beginning of the weekend. yep. and once a week isn't too much is it?
perhaps today im very unlucky. i got back my maths marks which are horrible, for some reason my bag is very heavy today and had a hard time carrying it home >.<, n on the bus, the bus swerved violently n i fell on top of some poor woman! it was SOOOOOO EMBARRASSING! imagine if i had fallen on top of some sji boy or something! im glad i didn't, that is. that poor lady. -patpat- i wanted to disappear into thin air or something, some rgs girls were laughing at me. haha yeah.
ok. i noe that rgs has lots and lots of stereotypes. the most in fact. i haf decided that our batch of rgs will do something about it, and make a difference. we will prove to them that we are not the stereotypes, we will break the stereotypes, and show that rgs is NOT what u think. unfeminine, unmarriagable, un-sweet, rowdy, only confident n all that crap.
yep. and also, i haf decided that i will say the statistics of my results. my academic results and pft results. because i believe that there is nothing shameful about it, and if u think it's good, u probably will come up to me and wail that im soooooo good. if u think it's bad, u probably won't say anything about it to me. yeah n so, for all who wants to noe my results. and also for me to remember and organise my thoughts down here.
i shall not be embarrassed about my results. i should haf done my best, so i should take pride in my work and my results. even if i didn't do my best, or it's really bad, i have to have the courage to face up to the world, and learn from my mistakes. yep and enough crapping about that. you probably get the idea.
i shall start with pft.
1.2.4km: 12.02min - A. [elaboration on it is in previous post]
2.inclined pull-ups: 7 - C. this is horrible. i did 13, but the teacher claimed that only 7 counted, the others didn't touch the chin. HUMPH. but nvm. i definitely haf to train my arms!!!!
3.shuttle run: 11.33sec - B. A is juz 0.04sec faster!!! ARGH i should haf reacted faster at the beginning, but i always lag when i haf to run. the person says go! but i started a fraction of a second later. n i could haf run faster, i could feel it. n i can't retest unless i get below C grade. so nvm. at least better than last year, in which i did 12.3sec. haha!
4.sit-ups: 41 - A. yay! achieved this goal! i wanted to get at least 40, hopefully 50, but i noe 50 is difficult. esp ppl like me who don't train. n credit[probably contributed only 1%]to blaws' blessing! she blessed me to get 41. yeah. n i did 40, then i decided to do 41 in order to fulfill the blessing. HAHA.
5.standing broad jump: 183cm - A. this is the totally UNEXPECTED one! hurray! hurray! hurray! i wanted to juz get A, which is like 171cm? and i used to do 16something at most, and usually juz do 15something. yet, this time, i didn't slide at all, and i did 170cm the first time, then 183cm the second try! ^^ im overjoyed!
6.sit and reach: 48.5cm - A. this is lame, but i asked blaws to push me down. she didn't push me down enough though, i didn't do 50! and she was scared my spine will break. =.=" only my muscle will tear, and good i can skip many many trainings if that happens. and i wanted to do 50! but nvm. and i didn't really stretch. i stretched at the sit-ups there, while waiting for our turn, and that's 2 stations b4 sit and reach, so it's not that effective anymore. plus im the leader bcos im the first index no. in the whole group, so i haf to go first! no time to stretch. >.<
that's all for pft. total i haf 4As, 1B and 1C. 27 points. yay it's gold! next year shall aim for 29 or 30. everything [except maybe ipu] better get As.
next up, my exam results. WAIT. AT THIS POINT OF TIME, I RECEIVE NEWS THAT MY BRO GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP! A* Star scholarship! the NSS[national science scholarship]! yay! -wail- means he will go overseas to study. sigh. will miss him. but that's 2 years later! LET'S REJOICE! -jumps up and down-

We are still waiting for our Chinese Eoi, Literature Eoi, history pt,and eng pt. yeah.

["the scarlet maidservant" directly translated.] monsieur quenot was saying that when he saw me reading the handmaid's tale. haha apparently it's some lit book for sec 3s, but my bro was idiotic and bought it according to the booklist even though he didn't take lit in sec 3. haha but it's nice to read. except a leetle disgusting at parts. but other than that quite nice.
there's the optional history essay on linking star wars and jap occupation. i know how to do it. and i can do it. but i don't noe if i want to. and what's the point of getting his personal collection of star wars trilogy? and i may not even get it even if i do write that essay.

HUMPH. and im having a sore throat! probably from singing too much phantom of the opera, if we hold on together, a whole new world, jap songs, cyndi's honey haha, and such. not to forget the ice-cream i haf today!
uhh and here is an excerpt of a super weird convo with blaws. no offence to anyone! esp the "main character" mentioned. it's juz me who is so enthu about jap and wants to use jap whenever possible! lalala...
hmm i haf more to say, LOADS in fact. but can't rmb. thankfully for u ppl reading this. uhh then i shall end off? so happy friday the thirteenth! it's not necessarily an unfortunate occasion. it's for us all, both fortunate AND unfortunate. so all e best and enjoy ur weekend! :)

If we hold on together
If we hold on together
Don't lose your way with each passing day
You've come so far, don't throw it away
Live believing, dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story, Faith hope and glory
Hold to the truth in your heart
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by, for you and I
Souls in the wind must learn how to bend
Seek out a star, hold on till the end
Valley, mountain, there is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Worlds are swaying, someone is praying
Please let them come home to stay
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by, for you and I
When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark, we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts … Everyone
If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by, for you and I

n im glad 2.4km is over. but i didn't get what i wanted! i wanted to get less than 12 min, but....apparently the whole class slowerd down. from last year. i suspect it has something to do with the pe we had today. u noe we had such a vigourous basketball match against each other! n so we are tired out. n also i never train for so longgggggggg! so im determined n convinced that i can run much faster.

ipu: 17 -if possible- juz try to get at least c. which is...8 i think. or 7? oh nvm.
sit-ups: more than 40. if possible, 50. but it's too big a jump....
sit and reach: 50cm. of course, to do this, muz ask someone to push me down. chewchew! -patpat-
shuttle run: ai ya juz get A can alrd. 11.3? forgot what it is.

dreams are always weird...
I slept for 1 and a half hours last night. At the livingroom. Then my mum woke me up and asked me to go sleep. So I did. N woke up at around 6:45am. Then I slept again. Then I had a weird dream
I was a character from inuyasha [an anime].
i was kagome
the the main female character from inuyasha lah
n i could shoot very well
even though i don't noe how to hold the arrow n bow properly =.="
n then i got this toy arrow and bow thingy
that was pink and white
dunno why
then me n blaws, who was in the dream as my best friend, were at some place with some fighting competition
n then we wanted someone to win
forgot who
then some bad guyyyy cheated
n harmed the other competitors outside the stage. And then they became sick or something.
n he sent a few of very strong ppl up stage
n when they came up, i showed off my wonderful shooting skills
n shot them
with the toy arrows
hahaha
n they all had a pain in their heart or something
but of course the arrow was a toy
so it didn't pierce them
but bounced off
so they didn't noe what hit them
n they had a bruise on their chest
haha
n then the judge said they were hurt, so cannot fight
then we were very happy
er n blaws was praising i can shoot so well >.< but I don’t noe the outcome of the competition. Don’t ask me why. Dreams are always weird.
then we went home
then we were at a bus-stop near block N. then we saw boonyang and daryl. So we crossed the road and joined them.
n i left my waterbottle at the bus-stop
it was really weird. dunno why we were following boonyang and daryl, and we were chatting happily, then we turned into this large large field full of yellowed and dried grass
n the grass was waist-length
so we were trashing through it
haha
in the dream it was sooo hot n all yellow [bcos of the sunlight at my bed]
n then we came out
to the road again
n i was like “oh dear my waterbottle!”
then i stare at the blocks, n realise it's block M. which means block N is the next block.
so i ran to the bus-stop n came back
n then asked boonyang and daryl why they take such a longggg way when they could haf juz walked by the road
n they didn't answer. i thought that maybe they wanted the fun and excitement, but that field was really lonely, no one else, so quiet, and very eerie. i wouldn't want to walk there. I prefer the road
ok then i woke up
bcos i heard my father SNEEZE very loudlyyyy.
Can’t make the head or tail of the story. I muz be getting obsessed with inuyasha and kagome. Haha. Next week is eois!
Tuesday: lit and Chinese eoi.
Wednesday: maths and bio eoi
That’s all. Then Friday is our 2.4km. sigh. Can’t wait till next weekend. Good luck everyone for ur exams or tests! N good luck to myself too.
