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! ^^

'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.

Which Singaporean Blogger Are 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.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

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.

english: 3.2
h. chinese: 4.0
maths: 3.6
geog: 3.6
history: 3.6
lit: 3.6
science: 2.8
gpa: 3.49

rather disheartening. but sigh. yeah. er. let's see. i haf sl, rs, chinese pt, maths pt, geog ws for homework. and not to forget reading of chinese books and yue du bao gao. uh huh.

SL! our priority. will start on monday. heehee boonyang lives right behind there. but i can't be bothered to go looking for u, so be glad. haha. meeting! we haf to settle our attire, proposal, and stuff. ok.

oh dear. OS! os haven't given me the photocopies for rs!! then how do i do it? argh.

fine. lots of rantings. gah. shall stop here. happy holidays!

as the french say, bonnes vacances!

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.

cool inuyasha! heehee
Posted by Hello

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-

ok back to exam results.

English Brochure: 23/30. [not bad. am satisfied...still waiting for eng pt]
Nature of Science PT: 9/20 [yessss i failed! u probably dun understand how i feel though]
Biology Eoi: 21/30
Biology Pt: 17/24
Maths Eoi: 26/40 [wail n i pride in being good at maths! maths is my best subject! or at least was. sigh. how can it beee?]
Geography Pt [the one on zambia and famine and stuff from longgg ago]: 17/28 [sigheth. but we didn't put in much effort for that]
Geography Test: 17.5/20 [sigh could haf gotten 19.5. that 0.5 我心甘情愿. because i really didn't noe how to do it and anyhow crap one. n she still gave me 3.5/4 for that qn! ^^]

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

and the stupid lit quiz. i got 9/15! can u believe it? she said those who did below 10 muz do the poetry analysis! and i got 9!!! humph. but im not going to do it until she gives instructions. hah. and the lit choral speaking thingy is a total mess! >.< and the history debate. i don't noe if im opposition or proposition! so how to research??

and i lent blaws timeline. which is reallyyyy nice! has quantun physics in it! ^^ am reading the handmaid's tale now. which is "la servante ecarlate" in french. ["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.

tmr is ora day. [old rafflesian's association day] i haf to go bcos i haf to help out at our track and field booth there. 2nd shift, 9 to 11am. at ri. i wonder what we are selling?i haf absolutely no idea what we are going to do! hope i will enjoy myself, and haf fun ppl!

esp those walka-jogathoners. meee wanteddddd to gooooo. but meeeee didn't gettttt the chanceeeeee toooooo! nvm. better off not going. im SICK. plus my monthly u-noe-what is here. on the pft day. 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...

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

the music on my blog is the music on "If we hold on together", from the movie Land Before Time. isn't the music nice? so touching, makes me want to cry. -sobs-

ok n so is colours of the wind. really nice. shall put it up next.

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.

humph shall try again by myself. ON A PROPER TRACK WITH NO SLOPE WADSOEVER. n beat chloe! she ran 11.18! n last year she ran 11.31! humph. n i heard that xinqi ran 8 min something during pe. 2.4km!? i don't believe it....but i shall ask her anyway. she's so fast!!!!!!!!! -wails-

ok n 5 stations coming up next friday. set lots of goals. hmm.

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.
standing broad jump: 177! my lucky no! unfortunately it's mr. kenneth tan. >.<

ok...mainly try to get A for everything. sit n reach, and sit-ups sure get A. probably shuttle run. juz the standing broad jump and oso the ipu. challengingest one is ipu. sigh. my weak arm muscles! shall train it as well!

ok. uhhh still haf my chinese yi lun wen to do. sigh. n the jian bao thingy. n ppl! *RMB TO DO YOUR HISTORY REFLECTIONS! i think i will collect next week. i think it's overdue le, but nvm. remember horrr!

n err. good luck to sec 4s for their pts even after eois. n i dunno if i should go to the rjco concert. >.< blaws is asking me to...

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.

N hci won the Chinese debate competition 3-2. but it’s ok. Rgs has done really really well juz being able to get to the finals! ^^ so well done to rgs! well done hci too!

nature week >.<

sigh. nature week is almost over. today is the last day, and it's earth day! and blaws and i finished solving the nature week puzzle last night. the final step is [bolded parts are the answers except for the team]:

The Final Step
Of Mammoths and Maoris and Nature at its best

To: Miss May Tan, Team: 207

Message:
We can’t eat cash! But wait, I know better. The same clues have told me something else.
I know who’s really at fault for all this mess.

Because I’ve seen it before.

It’s man, isn’t it?

sighh. we muz "always remember: money/profits/economic gains cannot subsitute what man has lost in the environment". this is quoted from nicole quah. one of the clever twin-geniuses

ok n today my class got into the nature quiz thingy during assembly. and 3 representitives from the classes are to go onstage. me, blaws and tiddy. with 3 from 210 and 208.

and im a psychic! i predicted that cheryl will smile at me when i go on stage, and she DID! haha.

sigh anw it was soooooo humiliating! haha bcos we don't know the answers, and we juz anyhow guess very unique and creative answers that are obviously wrong. of course, since im sitting in the middle, the mike is with me, and whatever weirddddd answers blaws n tiddy tell me i blabber it, and it's so embarrassing! eeeeeeeee! esp the whole school laughs. >.<

esp "what is the smallest mammal in the world?" and tiddy told me kiwi! and i said that into the mike, and then i realised that kiwi is a BIRD!!!!!!!!

which is so obviously wrong. later on at lunch, when i was thinking of what the answer could be, i thought of mousedeer, or some squirrel, or the smallest dog in the world! but i realised that there's the mouse. i bet many ppl didn't even think of it in the first place. =.=" but the answer is below.

The smallest mammal in the world is a bat from Thailand, Kitli's Hog-nosed Bat, Craseonycteris thonglongyai, being only 2.9-3.3 cm or 1.14-1.3 inches long and weighing a mere 1.7-2 g or 0.06 - 0.07oz this bat is well smaller than many insects and snails.

and then something like "what is the first and largest nature reserve in singapore?" and we didn't noe so i said pulau ubin [im always the one saying the answers or passing. everything is my decision!], the first thing that came to my mind. but it's not even in singapore!!! it's probably bukit timah nature reserve! humph it's so near my home and i didn't even think of it.

and the worst muz be "what is the most common pollutant of the environment" or something like that. and blaws dunno why told me human skin! and i said THAT!!!! it's worse than kiwi!!!!!!!!!!! >.<

ok but i kindof saved the day [and the school, who got very well-entertained and was laughing soooooo hard]. the qn was "what does SEC stand for?"

and blaws didn't noe. and i thought it might be Singapore Environment Centre. but council sounded nicer. so i juz anyhow said Singapore Environment Council [and some ppl were laughing bcos i was anyhow guessing], and u noe what?

yeah those ppl there knows. but those who didn't, it WAS CORRECT. then the whole school burst into laughter and i myself was like "uh? it's correct? wah i anyhow guess oso correct" haha ok it's lame. but it's funny.

ok and for the first round, 208 got 4, we got 6 and 210 got 8. sigh. then the second round, where one person is supposed to draw something and u are to guess what it is. yeah and OURS ARE SO DIFFICULT! NOT FAIR! COMPARED TO 208'S AND 210'S OURS IS MORE DIFFICULT! ok the first one was a mangrove thingy, which isn't difficult. then the second one blaws didn't noe how to draw it, so she was drawing a landfill [which we didn't realise. it was dots all over, how are we supposed to noe it's landfill?!] then she drew a star there! for dunno what reason.

and she used a green marker and drew something i dunno what. then she drew a rainbow n tried to colour the part which is green green. [u noe red orange yellow green? yeah the 4th line then] but we didn't noe it's a rainbow. so we were thinking it's dunno what thing with curved lines! turned out the answer is green revolution! SO DIFFICULT RIGHT? HOW IN THE WORLD TO DRAW GREEN REVOLUTION??!!?

maybe u can colour one part green, so that we can guess till we know it's green, but revolution???? how? tell me!!!! -wails- ok so i decided to pass, [not sure could or not, but juz passed anyway. no way i can solve that] and she drew some earth-like thingy [in e green marker lah], so i thought it's green earth, conserve earth! or something. then she drew some tap dripping water, n i thought it's conserve water, conserve environment. then she drew a skull, u noe those pirate's symbols? yeah that. then it's like, i don't noe what's thattttt!

ended up it's oil spill. =.=" should haf drawn a ship with oil spilling out, and some dead fish floating around. but nvm. i dun blame blaws. she did her best, and we were ON STAGE, and we were nervous and didn't noe what to do. and ppl dun blame us. -wince- yes we are horrible. and should haf let gaosi come. but i wonder if gaosi will rmb the answers under our circumstances. nvm.

well. and today on the bus i saw a girl from my primary school. she's primary 6 this year, and she looked familiar, and she said hi to me and waved to me. and so i sat next to her, and talked to her. n realised she was a fren of a p4 girl i knew [my si-mei! or fourth sister in englishhhh] when i was in p6. so they are in p6 now lah. yes and she was in the musical i was in too. either as a munchkin or as a choir singer. since she's in choir, juz like my si-mei! haa.

it's really weird how i was thinking and missing my primary school life, about how carefree it is, how we were innocent and happy, and not worried at all, and haf fun all the time, and how the time passes so quickly, and now sec sch seems so horrible, the realities of the world is juz too horrible, and time seems to be dragging all too slowly. and then i see this girl from zhenghua primary.

muz be fate. she cheered me up tremendously. she laughed with the purest and most innocent children laughter, and she was very straightforward, very happy, very innocent, and she doesn't worry about anything. and she was licking an ice-cream she bought from mcdonald's. happily.

i miss being a child. i miss being innocent and cuddly and laughing with the purest and most innocent children laughter. i miss my childhood. i miss my frens. most of all i miss my happy days as a child. they are slipping away from me, fast, too quickly for me to hold on to them...

i may be not yet 14. but im alrd tainted. no more a child. no more innocence. im growing up.

sports fest

i was fretting over raffles race for most of the time, so i didn't really enjoy myself for the most part of it. =p thashi -glares- backed out bcos her leg was hurt, n there was no one else except me, n the others all didn't want to run, n i had no choice. i was sooo upset over it. n i didn't haf shorts either. so i had to borrow from the wonderful shuyu! good shuyu! -patpat-

ok, raffles race turned out quite ok lah, u can even say it was fun. rgs girls were the first runners, then, ri boys second, rjc girls third, rjc boys fourth runners, n it was juz 4x100m, so it wasn't that bad. ok, n my ill-fated team who had to team up with me, i really pity them. feeling guilty for not running faster, but nvm. anw, the my team partner, the ri boy, he came up to me n shook my hand, n he introduced himself, n asked for my name. i told him. n that was that.

i was surprised, bcos i thought that everyone would juz be ignoring each other, n get it over n done with, but oh well. then i thought he was a lecher, but then again, maybe it's juz sportsmanship. making frens everywhere u go, promote team spirit, n so on. ok, so that's that.

then, after a longgg time, n my knee was practically breaking off and was all red n painful from kneeling on the hot track, finally the gun went. -yikes- i hate the gun. i always lag for a while in shock b4 running, yeah n i guess that was what i did. =P then i ran lor. then i was sooooo slow! i think i was last, sigh, my poor team. sigh. anyway, that ri boy was cheering me on. which is soooo nice of him. i mean if i were about to run, i wouldn't haf the time nor the courage to be cheering my team mates on. i would be trembling with nervousness, n probably drop the baton.

first time in my life the second runner was actually cheering me on. as in the person i was about to pass the baton to. which is really nice of him. :) n thus, i feel sooooo guilty of being so slow. n pulling the whole team down. sigh. the ill-fated team i was in, i think got last. so yeah. poorrrrr team.

sigh, n i didn't haf a chance to go n say sorry to him. nor thank him for being so nice. bcos i was occupied with andrea! n was talking to her. n i hugged her twice. really miss her. i probably would never see him again, but it doesn't matter. at least he gave me hope that there are still really nice boys around.

many boys were very nice in primary school, but once they go to secondary school, they change. the succumb to peer pressure n they change so much, they are hardly who i knew them to be anymore. sigh. it's the same with girls. but girls are not that serious. at least they show their true selves.

n well done chloe, chew min, lynette and wei ling for winning 4x100m! and chew min, who didn't get first, but second, she tripped at the beginning, so she will always be first in my heart! n weiling, she did her best, and she tripped at the beginning too, so well done! n chloe who as usual, got first for 400m! yay! n xinqi, well done! u won 400m too! n eunice, she was 4 seconds behind her in the heats, but this time she was only 1 second behind her! so well done! u really did ur best! im sooo proud of u! hmm. anyone else?

n well done thea, lihua, rachel and irmelia for raffles race! i want to do mass dance! i didn't do it last year, cos i was participating in sports fest, sigheth. ah, n i want to hug blaws and qw! -hughug- all e best everyone! :)

hurray for the long weekend!

hurray! im happy that it's the end of the week! n monday is sports day, and that tuesday is a school declared holiday. although i have to go french. sigh. but hey, look on the bright side! we may be watching a movie on that day u noe! :)

tomorrow im meeting up with my ex-piano teacher for dinner! im so happy. it's been so long since i met her, n i really miss her. she was really nice. ^^ she got married to some german guy n migrated there, n she finally is coming back to singapore. yep. so it's like so long since i saw her...-counts- since december 2002, when i was going to p6. so it's 2 years and 4 months! sooo long. i rmb i cried when i found out that she was leaving. hmm.

anyway, the past few weeks i haf thought through about my life and plans for the future, n i haf come to a conclusion. n so i am not that upset anymore. i feel like somewhat some hope. as long as i haf frens, i will survive.

recently, quenot played a movie for us! though we had to answer qns on the worksheet. in french. n the movie was a la folie pas du tout! thought it's all in french subtitles too. so a lot of ppl needed explaining. i watched it b4, so i understood everything. hee. so i was like explaining to my frens. ^^ but it's funnn. n we did a review of the movie after watching it. in french of course.

he made a list of movies n asked us if we watched them b4. i believe n hope that we are going to watch more french movies! yay. n we are faster than all the french classes i noe, so we haf the time to watch these movies! n we muz prepare a scene from a french book n act it out. we haf decided on peter pan or some disney book. :)

n in the movie, this song appeared lots of times. n it's in english, though i can't understand y it's in a french movie, but here it is anyway. i was singing it in school today all the time to everyone around me! heh. everyone muz think im mad or something. >.<

Love was made for me and you

[L] is for the way you look at me
[O] is for the only one I see
[V] is very, very extraordinary
[E] is even more than anyone that you adore

Love is all
That I can give to you
Love is more
Than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart
And please don't break it
Love was made
For me and you

give up

i give up. i give up give up give up! dun ask me wad im going to give up at. im going to give up at everything!! i feel horrible right now. no it's nothing to do with u all. nothing to do with anyone at all. except the whole world.

ok im contradicting myself. sometimes it's like that whole world is juz against u, n u want them to go according to ur will, but it's impossible, n yet they are not against me on purpose, they are juz normal, being normal, while im the one who is becoming unbearable. what is the problem with me?

it's been only one week since school started, or even less. juz 4 days, n im so frustrated alrd. what's wrong? am i missing the holidays that much?

that's not it. im juz tired of life here. everyday is like this. i wonder how i managed to survive 3 months at all. i wonder how i survived one year n 3 months. i wonder how i survived for 13 years and 8 months!

life in singapore is horrid. so stressful. other countries dun haf ccas. they dun haf all kinds of projects and loads of homewk. they dun haf to worry so much about going to jc or going overseas and wadnot. im so tired. so sick and tired of everything being wrong.

everything has been wrong since forever. i had grown to accept it, and get used to it, while having some hope that it will become fine in the future. the future came, n went by, n it's still wrong. n so now im fed up with it, n i totally give up. im going to continue trying to get used to it. to continue the same thing. over n over again. n not to lose patience. time will pass quickly, n yet slowly.

i hate competitions. n yet i haf so many. not that i haf a choice. i simply can't let everyone down. there is nothing i can do but participate n do my best. i haf national juniors track competitions soon. it's so near, n is taking up so much of my precious time! i need to do homewk, n projects, but my cca, my 3rd lang n my so many commitments are taking up too much time. im going to burst soon. that's y i can't help it but blog. there's nothing i can do but juz break down.

what's wrond with the world? what's wrond with me? im wishing for all idealistic things. which is so impossible. never going to happen. it's juz a dream. never to be reached. n so i know that. n im so frustrated. but i still haf my friends. they are the only ones holding me up, pushing me on, encouraging me on. then again, they are the ones who pressurise me, n make me feel horrible for not doing my best when i should. i also feel horrible when i treat them horribly, though they were so good to me.

i haf realised that everyone is so nice to me, so good to me, n i haf been taking them for granted. but i can't help it, i juz can't treat them well all the time! y can't i? what's the problem? when i dun think about it, i go and hurt someone again. i know they dun show it, they think i don't noe, maybe they are not even hurt, but i feel so guilty, so guilty, so guilty for not treating them as well as i can. to do make an effort to be good to them, rather than losing patience at the tiniest things and losing my temper at them.

i feel horrible. i need confidence. but i realise that i haf been taking everything for granted. everything could be juz gone overnight. n so, all my confidence is lost. no more confidence that i haf a bright future n all. is going to a uni a bright future at all?

i haf asked this to myself many times during this entry. what is the problem with me? perhaps u dun understand what i was talking about throughout the whole entry. but it doesn't matter. i juz need to relieve my stress n frustration here. sorry to all for being bored to death, n thanks for reading to the end. :)

weird eurasian man...

ytd i was on the bus, and the bus was practically EMPTY i tell u, n then this eurasian guy boarded the bus n he came right over n sat next to me! n he's very big-sized, so he sat soo close to me that our legs were touching! n so i inched away from him as discreetly as possible but he is taking so much space that he is sitting on part of my seat! gah.

n then, after some time, he started talking to me. he asked me if the bus is going to sixth avenue, n i said yes. n he was like nodding his head n saying yes i saw on the bus it said it went to sixth avenue. n so i thought that he's going to sixth avenue. which is good. bcos he won't be anywhere near me when i alight. >.<

he asked me what secondary i am in, n i told him im in sec 2. then he asked me about the subjects i took, n also about the education system in singapore. n he was talking about how u muz study hard n score well, bcos it's a very tough fight out in the market n u need a certificate n all. pah. he's pretending to be some advisor izit, n like-it's-so-tough-out-here-muz-study-hard kind of person. i wonder wad he's up to!

n then, he asked me if i took up any sports. n that it's good to take up sports, n not juz studystudystudy. n i said i did. n he asked my what kind of sports, n i said running. n he was like ohhhh that's good. it's individual isn't it? n i said there's relays too. n he said i ran 4 x 100m? then i said no, i dun run sprints. i run long distance. n he nodded his head.

i was sooo nervous n wishing im home alrd throughout the whole trip! i mean, it's right after the battlefield trip, with all its depressing history, n im super tired n my legs are aching like hell, n when i was on the previous bus, i had to squeeze, n had no place to sit, n had to stand for 25 min! my legs were breaking off.

ok, then as i was nearing my house, he asked me if i lived nearby, n i said yes. n he said so around hillview area? n i said yes. then asked me if it's the next stop. n it was! how did he noe???? could it be it's juz a guess, or he knew everything about me??? n why is he asking me so many qns? why did he sit beside me when there are other seats? n so close to me too? izit juz curious about rgs pupils like me? or izit he's a...crime-committer?

he's so weird, i was so scared, even more scared than a previous incident where a man in his 40s leaned so close to me on a bus that he is blocking my way to anywhere at all, n i could feel his breath on me! but nothing happened that time, bcos i "escaped" in time n crawled out under his arm. so scary!

anw, then he said that he's alighting at the same stop as me! he's visiting a fren there! n i was wondering if it's true, or was it juz following me? i thought he's going to sixth avenue! or izit he's supposed to take a bus that goes towards sixth avenue? i was so worried n terrified, i didn't dare imagine wad would happen. i stretched my legs in case i needed to use them to run or to kick. but my legs were so tired n i was so scared, i didn't noe wad to do.

then we alighted, n luckily my dad called me, but i wasn't really listening to him, but was too occupied with thoughts about that weird eurasian guy. i juz said ok, ok, ok, yah. bye, absently to my father, as im frightened. n the guy he took out his phone n spoke to it too. maybe it's juz an act. to pretend that he's occupied too, or maybe not. maybe it's genuine. maybe he's innocent n is juz curious n everything was a coincidence. i held on to that hope. although a lot of evidence is pointing against him...

i waited at the traffic light, n i looked around for anyone else. no one. juz the cars passing. wad if he grabbed me? or stole my bag? wad to do??? i kept thinking that i could kick him at a certain place if he dared to touch me. [=p] n slap him. or anything. i was so desperate.

then as we crossed the road, he put out his hand like he wants to shake my hand, n yet like he wants to touch my hand like that, n he said he's something something, i was too nervous to hear wad he was saying. was his name andy or something like that? then he asked me wad my name was. n i was shocked, n didn't noe wad to do. so i was like a fish or something, with my mouth open n my heart pumping soooooooo fast n i said, "er...my name? um...my name? ah..." i said anything but my name.

n he was like smiling, n i refused to shake his hand. but juz smile awkwardly n nervously. n i was thinking of saying im clara. the first thing i thought of. it's the name i felt is very nice. n i want to call my daughter clara. but b4 i could. he took his hand away n probably thought that i didn't want to tell him my name. n then he smiled n said, "I think my friend lives there. Bye."

how did he noe i lived on the other side n i was going to turn left? he turned right n walked in the opposite direction n taking out a piece of paper, he glanced at it n looked at the condo ahead of him. did he knew everything about me? wad's wrong with him? why did he sit beside me, why did he come here, why did he talk to me, why did he ask for my name n wanted to shake my hand????? so many qns, he could be innocent, maybe not. maybe he was up to something, but he decided to give up? which is weird.

regardless of wad, he had frightened my out of my wits, n i kept glancing back in case he followed me or anything. so scaryyy. if it's juz his culture, or habit to be so friendly with strangers, n particularly students, it's definitely weird. veryyyyy weird. it kept my mind occupied as i walked up the slope.

maybe i should haf used cherica, n talked about how frenchy the name sounds, n that i haf french blood in me, n my great-great-grandfather was from france or something. n that i know a leetle french only. haha. it's only then that i could laugh out. at least im safe, n nothing happened. but im on the lookout the whole night in case i saw him again. i never want to see him again.

oh, n when he first came up the bus, i thought he looked like atticus. n i was thinking about how i would tell him about to kill a mockingbird, n tom robinson, n harper lee, n the great depression, n the prejudice, n so on. which was weird. bcos he started talking to me right at that moment. this shall be a traumatising experience to me. i shall never trust weird men with weird looks.

but i think qw should haf been the winner, bcos she was blowing lower, n it takes more strength to blow as u need to blow the bubbles all the way to the surface, while if u blow at the surface, it's easier. haha. nvm. we shall be draw! -patpat-

yesterday is mostly finals for 800m, 3000m, and 4x400m relay. n heats for 200m. everyone who participated, well done! ^^ especially xinqi and chloe! it never cease to amaze me, how fast they could run! especially xinqi, who is juz a sec one! she runs like, so much faster than most of us sec twos lor, and we trained for more than one year leh! it's soooo amazing that she's going to catch up with chloe soon!

chloe muz work harder le! but she is super fast too! i bet she n xinqi ran like 58 or 59 seconds for 400m yesterday lor! oh nevermind.

yay waddle won 2nd for sec ones 4x400m, and we got first for sec twos 4x400m! u noe we were like 30 metres behind tarbet, who is leading so fast that we really gave up hope that we could get first for 4x400m, then chloe was last runner, and she caught up a leetle bit, which is juz a few centimetres faster, and we all thought no matter how fast chloe is, she can't catch up with the tarbetian.

n shockingly, miraculously, she caught up at the curve, as she sprinted all the way with such amazing speed, and at the last hundred metres she caught up with the tarbetian n overtook her all the way to the end! it's really wonderful how fast she can run! im so prouddddd of her!!! she's got so much talent!

n i watched à la folie pas du tout, or he loves me, he loves me not! it's the best movie i haf ever seen! it's got a super interesting storyline, and there are so many twists n surprises! there are even surprises within surprises! it's in french, since it's a french movie, but there's english subtitles. btw, if u want to watch it, the third lang ppl can borrow it from the moelc library at the french section, where the vcds are. for one week. others can borrow it from those who borrowed! u muz watch it, it's simply too nice! =)

flunked my maths test...

hello.

i haven't blogged for more than a week. n so i decided to blog. basically, for the past week, i was rather depressed about practically everything in my life. but im better now. yeah. n i was flunked my maths test, n didn't even finish it. i did till the last qn, the frequency curve, which was horrible n totally not a smoooth curve it should be!

n so 5 marks flew away. for certain. n there are other qns too. so i will probably flunk it. n i hope i dun fail it. -hopes fervently-

n there's the scientific investigation, which was a total mess this morning with my father and brother around making things worse. sigh. but at least the experiment is somewhat done, and all is left is the report. 20 marks. n a rather high percentage too.

well. i think that's all. need to work on my homewk. all e best everyone! bye. :)
