gb day.

2006-07-16T19:10:00.000+08:00

GB DAY TOMORROW!!!! <3333333
though the uni will be uncomfortable, and standing out there will be terrible, and sweating and stoning and listening to the band play and wishing i were doing something else rather than standing and having to salute to tchrs all day long...

oh well.

the girls' brigade from Kent Ridge got me excited. since my church sponsors them, they dressed in their uni today and went around asking for GB Fortnight donations.

hang on a sec, how come i havent gotten my GB Fortnight card(s) yet?

suddenly i realise that i am experiencing holiday-withdrawal-syndrome. a tad late, huh? -.-"

Open house was..uh.. okay. but now i keep singing that piece Shirim was practicing in the netball courts. (Uhh cant remember what it was called. anw. ^^")

should i even bother to think about taking trip humans? or should i just go for the doubles. cos i dont like chem that much...

meet snowy!

2006-06-23T17:38:00.000+08:00

adopt your own virtual pet!

i know that snowy doesnt look like the real snowy, but he's cute. ^^

CIP wasnt bad.. except for the lucky draw prizes. i mean, which kid wants a blender and rice cooker? -.-" especially the small p3-4s.

some of the Geylang Methodist kids were pretty nice, during the endurance run the seniors offered to stay behind and help me give out sticks to the juniors when they could have just slacked in the hall. and as a result gave US a chance to slack. ^^ oh yeah, and one of them asked me if i played Maple.. -.-"

but overall the CIP thing was really fun in the end.

KL TRIP!!!
i cant remember the last time iwent to Genting. whoo!!!

(ok i know the points are all disjointed and pointless, but its my weird strange post-term train of thought.)

P.S. FEEK i saw you jumping up and down screaming in the canteen when the bell rang ^^

the polls.

2006-05-07T14:01:00.000+08:00

elections yesterday. *yawns* stayed up to watch results, then woke up at 7 am today. supertired. zzz.

YAY LOW THIA KIANG AND THE WP WON HOUGANG!!!!!!!!! =D as my dad says, at least Singaporeans havent sold their souls yet. not even for a $100 million upgrading. (despite the fact that Hougang flats are really, reallyuh..old? but then, Potong Pasir is even worse.)

anw. my dad got me all fired up about WP these past few days. Low Thia Kiang is a sharp speaker, i'm glad he's remaining in Parliament as an MP. Sylvia Lim isnt bad, either. give WP a few more elections and i think they'll win Aljunied over. i mean, look at the percentage this time round!! it was almost 50-50. shows how popular WP is. and you have to admit, next to PAP, they are the best. (mainly cos IMO, SDP and SDA are degenerating.)

ohyes. everyone, go to www.mrbrown.com and listen to his podcasts. especially podcast 6. the infamous bak chor mee episode. (: for a very nonpolitical (yeah right) version of the crazy Gomez issue. and the other one. the Amazing Race episode, also known as podcast 8. pretty funny, too. (well, what would you expect from someone who could call the Gomez issue Star Wars: Return of the Form?)

well. at least the election is over. when will it be our holiday?? will it be this week?

whatever. hope it'll be soon. (CHOIR CONCERT!!! TONG MIIN I WANT MY TICKET!!)

labour day.

2006-05-01T14:22:00.000+08:00

i know its a public holiday, but really, it doesnt seem like one.
other than the waking up at 7 am bit (ONE WHOLE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER THAN USUAL =D). oh, and the fact that theres badminton today (makeup lesson) plus HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE =D

other than that, the plan for today (from 8 am to 3.30 pm) is to study, study, study.
i've covered my entire topic for Geog, and actually studied the characteristics of sonnets (Petrarchan and Shakespearean), Odes and Elegies. i think i'm nuts. 0.0

so now i get a nice break!

oh, and i finished my acrostic poem too. its an abecedearian acrostic.

but its super weird. 0.o on Ender's Game, if anyone has read it.
i wrote several. but only one is abecedearian. the other two spell BATTLE SCHOOL and ENDER'S GAME and they don't make sense.

oh, and another poem which is not acrostic entitled Valentine, from the sister's POV. yeah, all just to kill time (:

anw, Dia is irritating the lot of us by quacking like a duck when my sis and Tong Jiim are supposed to be studying. SHUT UP DIA. *tapes mouth shut*

i like our class blog!!! http://twothirteen06.blogspot.com DIA SHUTUP OR GET OUT.

i cant blog with Jiim asking me to tell Dia to shut up and Dia refusing to shut up!!! DIA SHUT UP.

DIASHUTUPDIASHUTUPdiashutupdiashutupDIA. FOR. HEAVEN'S. SAKE. SHUT. UP.

grr. anw. pri 5 math is getting harder. just ask my sister. even i (and my parents) can't solve it, let alone my sister...

Dia, stop mopping the floor with your T-shirt.

oh, and i'm crazily addicted to Harry Potter fanfiction now. the Lightning On The Wave series. very nice, amazing plot. GO AND READ IT. http://lightning.minifi.com

am glued at book 3 at the moment. ^^

Witch Hunter Robin on animania at Arts Central 11pm on Wednesdays -Fridays. <3
very...erm..dark? depressing? yeah. PG rated, too.

just look for the OP song...that is seriously depressing too. Shell, by Bana. listen to it, or even better, look for the translated lyrics. regardless of which translation, the message comes across as super-depressing. coupled together with the music and the OP animation, its...eerily disturbing.

OK shall go off this ridiculously long post. DIA SHUT UP FOR THE FINAL TIME. STOP QUACKING.

WAKEBOARDING PWNS.

2006-03-16T21:47:00.000+08:00

yes!! i finally found a COOL sport (well, imo its cool, but for some pple its just a scream fest. anw.) i love wakeboarding! especially considering that as a beginner, i could go pretty far. by the end of a while i could turn left and right! (: so i can safely say that wakeboarding totally rules.

not to mention i also made two friends. i wont mention their names incase they dun like their name on the Net...anyway. sec 3s, and they are totally fun (: though we only had, like, half a day together we managed to get along really well, though they're frm Pasir Ris Secondary.

interesting, but i find that i get along much better with mainstream students (especially those which are NOT from RGS!) sometimes, the worse their results, the better i get along with them. or..well. nvm. the point is, some of my really gd friends (no insults meant though, chele, jan, kylie!) are from say, normal stream. those pple who got like Cs for their chinese and are failing miserably..i get along with them really really well! *sighs* maybe this is why i cant get along with felicia anymore. (0.0 how many times have i used the phrase 'get along with' in this paragraph?)

ANYWAY. i seriously wonder why. care to enlighten me, anyone?

P.S. WAKEBOARDING IS THE BEST!!

GB CAMP XD

2006-03-16T21:34:00.000+08:00

YESH GB CAMP SO TOTALLY ROCKED HAHAHA. yayness seniors <3

the pokers. a close relation of bridge. -i poke. do you?-

we are seriously very very crazy. the bus ride took FIVE HOURS each way!!!! so boring! but i slept most of the way anw. XD

night games (UNDERGROUND UG XD) and night surprise were seriously kinda freaky. during underground UG some of the sec 1s went out crying. guess the sec 4s really freaked them out... *shudders* i hate the torture chamber! (heh, i felt so relieved when i got to torture grace zhang during our play heh ><)

group 5 THE POKERS WE RULE (:
tiddy, ann margaret, grace zhang, me, yunxi, clarissa, tze gek! the POKERS. hahaha. (OK so i'm on a post-camp high. riight.)

too tired to write out anything. i can only say one thing though...
MS WONG LOOKED SO FUNNY DURING THE WATER BOMB FIGHT (:

it didnt help that she told us "You better get me wet!" when she meant "You better not get me wet!" so...yeah. we got her saturated. it looked like she had jumped into the swimming pool when we were done XD

so..yes. GB March Retreat 2005, 2006 and i bet for the next two years will hold plenty of SPECIAL, SPECIAL memories which can never be put into words. 45th GB! We are one of the most bonded CCAs in RG! Let it stay that way (:

P.S. did i mention that GB camp rawks? GB camp <3!

wedding

2006-03-05T23:52:00.000+08:00

its been so long since i last blogged. oh well. exams are starting up.
just came back from my relative's wedding. (in regards to what relationship she is to me, i dont know.) it was really fancy, at the furama hotel. i got away with wearing jeans, but in compensation i had to wear a fancy blouse, a necklace and HIGH-~~HELLS~~ HEELS. YUCKS. i kept tripping in the highheels (and, btw, they were my mum's) plus my heel got stuck in the drainhole once. *winces* very uncomfortable. have sworn off high heels for the rest of my life.
and i don't see how my cousin managed to get away with a T-shirt and trousers. RAWR.but anyway, we had good fun.

Evelyn Tan and Ericia Lee came to the wedding! 0.0 i don't know how they are related to either my relative or her husband, but it was seriously amazing. we took sneak shots of them with my cousin's phone camera (: they were sitting at the table next to us. think they saw me taking photos (hello, they looked up and saw me pointing a phone at them, how obvious is that) got some pretty clear shots, but my cousin cant send them to me..sad. cos i dont have Internet connection with my phone. next time i see him must take the phone and take photo of the photos. sheesh. anw.
the food was seriously filling. we had, like at least eight dishes. SIGHS. i cant stand it with huuuge weddings-so much FOOD. but it was good.
it was actually quite boring in the end. Nadia and my cousin Cheng Yee ended up dipping parsley into their glasses of water. when mum took away the water, they dipped it in her cup of Sprite. they looked so cute! ^^ anyway
hafta go. *yawns* very tired. wish the wedding had been held on a Saturday.

happy vday

2006-02-12T22:08:00.000+08:00

today finally went back to BFEC! ^^ (and to return loads of library books and pay fines, heh ^^") and the SSS was celebrating Valentine's Day. (NOTE: the SSS makes kinda a big thing out of VDay) so the whole place was decorated in roses, pink and white ballooons..etc. very..*ahems* ROMANTIC? ERR. >< ohyeah. my teacher Julienne was so nice, she gave everyone a bunch of orchids ^^ heh. everyone in my class. so our class sitting in the congregation looked kinda like some purple orchid garden.. then we ate cookies baked on Saturday ^^ COOKIES!! they rocked!! ohyeah..then there was a looong talk on love and the diff btwn love, and lust, and romance, and infatuation. but it took 1 hour...so we actually ended up ending the whole thing ONE HOUR LATE. 0.0 my parents about killed me.
yeah then Alvaro Sanchez came and played the guitar for our congregation. Alvaro Sanchez is this supercool Christian guitarist/harpist, and he plays it really well. his fingers are so quick! 0.0 and i thought my father was a good guitarist. his english isnt that good, so i didnt really understand, but it was nice.
then we played this game..u know the one where they give u a list of stuff (say, find someone who can juggle 3 balls) and then find a person who can do that, then ask them to sign! whoa. chaos. 0.0
ohwell, i found out some new things... (including, Darryl would be willing to do a dance! erm. no, just kidding. he just scribbled anything on my paper and ended up signing 7 boxes. including the dancing thing.) and that our seniors are really cooperative and nice.

hmm. yeah, then some of us had to come out and prove that we could do whatever, so i had to come out and say i love Timothy in 3 languages. (er. timothy was the host of the game.) EW. wouldnt do it! then they asked me to do i love Jamie (Jamie was the other host..err. -.-") i ended up doing i love Jesus in English (duh!) Chinese and Jap. oh, and another RG girl joined my church! yay! ^^

ohwell. school tomorrow. YUCKS. aaaaahh..i hate school already. grah. if only schl didnt come with the work.

I Not Stupid Too

2006-01-31T16:12:00.000+08:00

watched I Not Stupid Too today. quite nice...
it addresses some serious issues like stealing and gangsterism and fighting...
corporal punishment, blablabla...

interesting. plenty of crying. bleah.

and naturally, Jack Neo acts once again.

its a different cast of characters now, instead of the rich fat boy Terry you have rich skinny boy Jerry who is P2. confusing. :S
basically how Jerry's parents ignore and neglect him and his brother, Tom (yes, Tom & Jerry. :P), instead choosing to concentrate on making more money. then they blame each other when either kid gets into trouble. "They're paying me $500 an hour for this presentation. it's really important, so just let me concentrate on this presentation, OK?"

so, Jerry's school is having a performance, and Jerry is the lead star. however his parents are so busy he cant ask them whether they're free on the night of the performance to come and support him. meanwhile, his Sec 4 brother Tom's marks are getting really bad, despite the fact that he has won awards for his blogging. the mother, editor of a Chinese magazine, therefore keeps scolding him about his chinese marks.

Tom's friend Chengcai is also not doing well. poor, and with a long history of violence (thanks to his dad, who also has a long history of violence and jail), after a brawl in the school Chengcai is expelled. and i quote Selena Tan's most famous line from this movie: "I have rules and regulations..."

basically, the brawl occurred because of a handphone check. hps arent allowed in the school compound at all, but who actually adheres to the rules? when Tom pulls out his handphone during the check (under the teacher's threat), a porn VCD falls out. when the teacher picks it up, Chengcai grabs the VCD and all of a sudden they start fighting, then Tom joins in too.

Tom is caned publicly, and Chengcai is expelled. after school Tom meets up with Chengcai, but they accidentally bump into a gang. since they didnt apologise, the gang vows to get revenge, and Chengcai (being the wushu pro he is) goes and beats the lot of them up. later, the gang asks them to join, since "we need fighting talents like yours". unappreciated for what they are, the two boys accept. Tom's father finds out that he is hanging out with a gang, and they start fighting on the void deck. (as in, wrestling. 0.0 try and visualize Jack Neo fighting on a void deck.)

in the end, the gang deserts them when Tom shoplifts, and is caught by some phony "policemen" who threaten to arrest him if he doesnt give them $2000 within two days. Tom starts looking desperately for money... (and i'm thinking, how stupid can he be? surely he should know that real policemen dont extort citizens?)

meanwhile, Jerry wants his parents to come see his performance. remembering what his father said "they pay me $500 an hour!", he decides that since his parents dont have time, he'll have to save up and buy an hour of his time. but where can he find $500 before the concert? he sells off his beloved Pokemon cards (hey, he's P2) but it's not enough; so he steals from the canteen vendor. then, later when he discovers Tom's situation and his need for $2000, he gives all he has in his little piggy bank to his brother, cos he doesnt want him to go to jail.

however Jerry didnt realise he was caught on video, and the principal calls the parents in. the money's gone, and the parents assume that he used it to buy pokemon cards, thus scolding him. and the truth comes out about the concert thingy.
even with Jerry's cash, it's still not $2000. Tom and Chengcai rob an old lady, but feel remorseful and give the necklace they stole back. however the aunty and her friends feel that stealing is stealing, regardless of whether u feel remorseful and give it back halfway, so call the police. Tom and Chengcai scarper, but this old ahgong tackles them and they get into a fight. Tom's 3G phone flies out and is turned on, SOMEHOW calling the father. the father, at the office promoting 3G phones, suddenly receives a call. as with 3G phones, he sees the fighting going on right then and there. starts screaming about how his son needs help and runs off, ignoring the fact that his boss just fired him.

wont say the rest. thats about it. rest all happy happy ending...DUH. anyway. tired of typing too (: I WANT TO GET THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA SOUNDTRACK!

gong xi fa cai! XD

2006-01-30T14:30:00.000+08:00

gong xi fa cai!! wan shi ru yi!! yayness its CHINESE NEW YEAR!! XD

i've missed the angpows and the cny goodies. they only come once a year! plus the tuan yuan fan and seeing all my relatives again. ^_^ all those relatives, whom i only see during chinese new year. interesting. but its true.

yesterday (sort of) learnt how to play Pocket Fighter! (or basically use the controls for PlayStation, what a miracle! ^_^)
PLUS play GameBoy.

ah, the luxuries. all the stuff my cousins enjoy but i dont. the diff btwn us.

they play computer games + playstation + gameboy...
i dont. wish i did.
and i'm SO MUCH MORE NERDY than them...
and the games are so fun; but then, if i had the luxury of playing them, like my cousins, maybe i wouldnt be in RGS. *sighs* the things we sacrifice to keep up with the expectations of a Singaporean lifestyle...

my sister's punching me. ow. she's evil.

what a baby..wait what am i saying she IS a baby. punching and crying simultaneously? ever heard of THAT???

da jie, i ANGRY with you!

haha she's quite cute though. especially when she says that...anyway.
will be going visiting later in the day. $_$

hmm. i want to watch I Not Stupid Too and Memoirs of a Geisha. which is nicer??

epidemic? sniff

2006-01-27T11:35:00.000+08:00

SO... IS it an epidemic?

1. Lucy
2. Geraldine
3. Fik
4. Melody
5. Pearl
6. Yu Wen
7. ME!
8. Alicia *shock, horror*
9. Stella Zhang

no, its NINE. NINE. is it an epidemic? i leave it to you to decide. 9 out of 32. that's about 1/4. big proportions.
i was sent home early yesterday. cos i was sick.
and due to the fact that jolene kua hwee min packed my bag, she ACCIDENTALLY left my worksheets under my desk!! so now i cant do my hw!! nooo...

i cant believe Alicia and Stella developed a fever. maybe Stella, but ALICIA?? she's so totally hyper, i cant imagine her with a fever.
our class has apparently been quarantined.

Scary, no?

book review! (:

2006-01-23T20:05:00.000+08:00

i shall be like jan-and do a book review!
(P.S. Jan, pls don't sue. this is a one-timer. i just liked this book so much.)

Title: The House of the Scorpion
Author: Nancy Farmer
Synopsis: Matteo Alacran was not born; he was harvested. His DNA came from El Patron, lord of a country called Opium-a strip of poppy fields lying between the United States and what was once called Mexico. Matt's first cell split and divided inside a petri dish. Then he was placed in the womb of a cow, where he continued the miraculous journey from embryo to fetus to baby. He is a boy now, but most consider him a monster-except for El Patron. El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself, because Matt is himself.

As Matt struggles to understand his existence, he is threatened by a sinister cast of characters, including El Patron's power-hungry family, and he is surrounded by a dangerous army of bodyguards. Escape is the only chance Matt has to survive. But escape from the Alacran Estate is no guarantee of freedom, because Matt is marked by his difference in ways he doesn't even suspect.

Praise:

An inspiring tale of friendship, survival, hope and transcendence -Kirkus, starred review
This is a powerful, ultimately hopeful story that builds on today's sociopolitical, ethical and scientific issues and prognosticates a compelling picture of what the future could bring. All of these serious issues are held together by a remarkable coming-of-age story. -Booklist, starred review.

and what I think? brilliant science fiction story!!
it's all about cloning and basically what happens; is it going to die, or what?
i'm not done reading it, but so far it's been fascinating.

sheesh

2006-01-14T21:36:00.000+08:00

woe is me.
i am utterly bored.
hmm. what can i do?
*goes into rant mode*
ARGH we might be changing church!!! i don't want to change church!!!!
the Singapore Bible Church. it may be good, but all my friends are in Frankel, so i dont want to leave.

badminton is fun kayys. i got my grip changed today, so its better now.
*starts randomly changing subjects*
my mortal is ok. she's from hpps, and she sounds really nice. but the only thing is that she found out who i was after one letter. ERR.
i think she broke an rg record.
but then, she's best friends with my friend who told me to pick her... (are you getting confused?)

ohwell. *yawns* very, VERY bored...zzzz.

chronicles of narnia

2006-01-11T16:55:00.000+08:00

haha FINALLY went to watch chronicles of narnia yesterday!! MAGNIFICENT.
i'm going to get the DVD. or at least the VCD. or at the VERY LEAST the music CD. the music is just SO NICE!! not to mention the movie is fantastic.
pple think its a bit slow, but i think it sets the mood. and it shows Edmund's defiant character well, which is important as it comes into play later during the White Witch thing.
so totally much better than Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
can't wait for the next one!! this one is brilliant, B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T.

and i have an lj now. i'll still have this blog, but it'll be for different things.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/tintinvoyageur

tintin voyageur basically means tintin traveller. i wanted it to be tintin le voyageur, but it was too long. initially was tintin le journaliste. tintin the reporter. argh. anyway, tintinvoyageur sounds good imo. (:

will update more on the lj, but this blog is more for the holiday stuff, like movies and stuff where i have FUN. (after all this blog is tintin CRAZY. im allowed to go CRAZY here.)
the other one is more on the serious side of things. like schl and stuff.

k gtg (: school has started, and I DON'T UNDERSTAND SET THEORY, WHY IS A NULL SET NOT EQUAL TO A NULL SET WITHIN A NULL SET. GRR.

first day of school

2006-01-03T21:37:00.000+08:00

first day of school...*sobs*
but im not changing my blogskin. too lazy.
*sighs*
i got mrs mohd for my form teacher. WHY IS TONG MIIN IN 112 AND NOT 113 NOT FAIR. i wanted to be her angel...
school so far is ok...i hate the canteen food now though. after eating home-cooked food for two months...it just doesnt appeal anymore.
but then, since when has it ever appealed to me?
on the other hand, i'd rather skip lunch than eat at school...*pukes*
the food seems grosser this year. or maybe its just me..
ah well. mrs julie quah is 210's CLE teacher EWEWEW. i seriously pity them. cos mrs julie quah is a terrible teacher. SHE DIDNT TEACH US THE ENTIRE SYLLABUS!! as a result majority of my class almost failed. even the smart ones!!! grr...and we found questions where she taught us the wrong stuff and stuff tested that she didnt teach us. i hope i never get julie quah again, bcos she has seriously turned me off for physics. i cant stand her...
i wish mrs lee were teaching me again. mrs lee is nice.
on the other hand, mrs mohd is teaching geog again =D
eeks schl started...and all i learnt last year has flown out the window...

happy new year!

2006-01-01T14:25:00.000+08:00

meta camp RAWKS. !!!!
i was the youngest, but it was still fantastic.
i already miss meta camp and cant wait for the next one...
PROJECT X!!!!!!
Project X!
Gao she me XX!
Cha Cha Cha!

OKOK lame i know. the Project X cheer. as in..chacha...xx in chinese.
Project X is street evangelism. street e!! it was my first time, and without Peiyu and Violet, i think i would have died of embarrassment and fear.
but i didnt, because of the two older, more senior pple with me :)
met this girl called Zhimin, and she was really interested in knowing about Christ, so we yakked to her the whole time, until it was time for us to go back to the NUS campus (yes the camp was held at NUS Prince George's Park Residences. we slept in the hostels there, HOW COOL IS THAT???)
i'm definitely going to pray for her.
so here are the pple in my community group(CG):
CG14!!
CGL(CG Leader): Ruth
ACGL(Assistant CGL): Huixian
other members: Yongfu, Shawn, Jessica, Gracia:), Dorea, Samuel, Peiyu, Xueyan

despite the fact that they were all in NUS/graduated/abt to enter university (except Dorea, who's in my church, Jessica who's in poly), they all treated me like i was one of them, a normal person. for that i really thank them. we were really open and honest to each other, and i think that was one of the things which made meta camp such a great experience this year. :)
not to mention the talks by Rich Miller were EXCELLENT. he's a really great speaker!!
i think he got a bit of a shock when he realised what NEWater really was, though :)
cos NEWater sponsored our drinks for Project X, and since no one really wanted them,so there were dozens of NEWater bottles lying around. i think he must have grabbed one and drank it, then found out from someone(or maybe from the bottle wrapper) what it really was. haha. must have been a nasty shock to find that you have just drank what was flushed down the drain a few weeks ago...
but its not really THAT bad...i mean it is potable after all.
plus worship was a completely new experience...everyone EVERYONE was so ENTHU!!!! not like other places. all the uni students were really very very very enthu about worship. Yongfu kept jumping up and down the first night worship. and since he's much bigger than me, and he was sitting next to me, so...i got a little intimidated. by the jumping. it looked like he would hit me any second...
in conclusion, i am DEFINITELY going for meta camp 2006!!
oh yes. i havent mentioned the games. EW GROSS. kids, do NOT try this at home.
firstly, Dog and Bone. not so bad, right? yeah. well, u have to play with real bones, kiddos. yup. dead (raw) fish plus chicken feet. u have to scramble and feel for it in this huge tub of gross orange liquid (which i do NOT want to know what it contains) when ur number is called. GROSS. GROSS. GROSS.
then the water bomb fight. not only water bombs, but detergent bombs and soya sauce bombs. yupp. i think the PGPR cleaners are going to kill us. by the end of it, the basketball court was covered in plastic bags(like the kind used to da bao kopi-o), newspapers(which we used to protect the CGL; that was the aim of the game), soya sauce, water, detergent and papaya. yes papaya. before the water bomb fight we played captain's ball with papaya. i think my group smashed three papayas, then they ran out of papayas so we had to use slippers. EWW.
one thing i have learned from these games? never play captain's ball with a papaya. and NEVER throw dead fish/pour remaining soya sauce and detergent from the top storey, where u as game ic are standing high and dry, to the basketball court where everyone is playing water/soya sauce/detergent bomb fights. we get easily panicked and mad. me and Gracia and all the girls in the group were taking it in turns to try and shield Ruth, while screaming our heads off...then the guys all ran off to attack other groups. quite hilarious. but being soaked in soya sauce is not the best experience. for the mystery food game...i had to drink a cup of soya sauce! *whimpers* its doing serious damage to my kidneys...and to think i thought it was miso soup at first. *shudders* i dont think i'll ever drink miso soup again...

OK have rambled enough. this is a lonng post.
two more days. HOW CAN I BE A SENIOR????

merry christmas!

2005-12-25T14:44:00.000+08:00

merry christmas, everyone!!
'tis the season to be jolly.
at the senior farewell (church) the senior guys put up a dance (which, i might mention, were hastily learnt within a few hours from the senior girls) it wasnt really that coordinated but it gave us all a good laugh. :) and all the time they were copying Abigail who was dancing at the back. oh well, i suppose that really teaches us that practice makes perfect! =D

hmm. for christmas this year, i received...
from the Yaps (Natalie & Nathaniel)--cool Crayola notebook =D, complete with pens
from the Yaps (Jan & Tim)--Forever Friends notebook(:!
from the Ngs--Angel box notes!! so CUTE (:
from my SSS teachers--another notebook.

hmm. you notice all my christmas presents are notebooks/notes?? does everyone think i'm that forgetful?

okaay. for my birthday, i received...
from Nicholas & family--Legal Lunacies calendar & a TELESCOPE!!(not professional, but still works)
from the Laus--a book called Lucky T & (well it came with the present but i still think its a mistake) something in a box from the Body Shop. hello? i HATE the Body Shop...plus, it has my aunt's name on it...sheesh.
from the Leongs--Pictionary Travel! =D
from the Hwangs--a book called Words for Teenagers (this is actually pretty cool =D) & 'a note frm Natalie' notepad.

nice haul this year. :) i'll be away at metamorphosis camp 'til the 30th, at NUS!! how cool is that??

carolling:)

2005-12-24T14:25:00.000+08:00

went carolling yesterday, must say it was a SUPER way to celebrate my bdae:)
we even sang at a counselling home, which i feel was a completely different experience from JSS carolling. and at the other homes, there were non-believers, so all in all, a fully enriching, enjoyable experience :)

not to mention all the new friends i made. Amanda, Cherie (is that how u spell ur name..), Chermaine, Yvonne, Debbie, Stephanie, Rachel, June, Roxann, Vylvianne, WE ALTOS ROCK. ^_^

everyone else in the carolling team, especially cherlyn and joan, thanks for making yesterday such a fantastic time. :) i will definitely join carolling again the next time.

erm.. -.-" now on to the weird part. i realise that i share my bdae with mark siao, which is scary. i mean, he's a senior! now i share my bdae with at least two other people. and the bus was bedlam! guys singing (actually, more like SHOUTING and SCREAMING in tune) and playing the guitar at the back of the bus, pple standing and walking around as we move across S'pore. all the girls were yakking, eating and taking photos, not to mention everyone kept swapping seats. i started out sitting with Kai Ling, but by the time we hit the last home, i had already found myself next to amanda, then sylvianne, THEN joycelyn! hectic, yet fun. went to sleep at 1.30. *yawns*not good for health considering i had to wake up at 5.30am to do ushering for schl. i hope i get CIP hours.
will be getting bdae prezzies from relatives todae, update later!

i just read the ending of tantei gakuen q on the Internet. i cant believe the principal DIED. EEKS. he DIED!!!!!! how could he DIE???????? HOW COULD HE?????? *shudders* very morbid ending in my opinion. at least i know theres an ending. but they only sell up to no. 20 in S'pore, how sad :(

back from malaysia!!

2005-12-20T14:47:00.000+08:00

finally back from malaysia. *sighs* all the SHOPPING.
at least we got to go to mph =D
got a new book called The Heavenly Man-its FASCINATING!!
but Malaysia books are so EX. i cant believe that A Series of Unfortunate Events can cost S$20!!
and that Pride and Prejudice can cost S$18. shocking prices.
got a new jacket-so u guys wont see me dragging around my bright blue EastTop anymore.
plus, this one is dark blue, so its a lot less conspicuous and obvious, not to mention less glaring. fake adidas! =D
quite obvious its fake cos bought it for only S$10. ADIDAS. no way!!
and a new schoolbag too! all cheapo stuff. but its nice. and i hope it lasts.
ACK my tuition teacher lent me Tuesdays with Morrie in CHINESE. im gonna DIE. D-I-E. not to mention i havent finished reading san mao yet. grrr. i hate chinese books.

sighs

2005-12-16T13:37:00.000+08:00

how ridiculous can one get????
i actually locked the ****in' car key in the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sighs* ridiculous indeed. i dont know....
will be leaving for Malaysia tomorrow. on a coach.
WHY??????
*stares around mournfully* i'd much rather drive ourselves. its much more FUN.
but on the other hand, i dont really want to go to KL. KL means SHOPPING. especially since we are going with my shopaholic aunts and mum. not to mention my cousin, too.

still, maybe we can go to the bookshop in Petronas Towers. *brightens* i'll bring some money..maybe i can get some cheap, nice books. i want to read Pride and Prejudice (since i watched the movie. the movie is GOOD.)
and Oliver Twist. also cos i watched the movie.
Pride and Prejudice is NICE. NICE. i cant understand how some people can say its boring!
i dont know why, i like Mary Bennet. "I've been practicing for WEEKS!! *sobs*"
Lydia and "Kitty" are far too flighty and flirty. for fifteen year olds and seventeen year olds.
still cant believe Lydia got married at fifteen. quite a stupid thing to do. and her mother was HAPPY.
not only that, but she eloped with some money-waster, debt-incurring playboy of a soldier from the Militia.
Mr. Collins is SHORT. HA! I shall repeat again. MR. COLLINS IS SHORT!!!!! compared to Lizzie Bennet, Mr. Darcy and all the other cast. he's shorter than his cousins, he's shorter than his own wife. its quite a colossal joke.
Dad's birthday is in two days, and i havent gotten him anything! *shrieks with hysteria*
at least i get to spend some time with my cousins this weekend. wonder if we're going Sunway Lagoon...=D everyone says its really nice over there. i certainly hope so.
will update on trip when i get back. but for now, let me enjoy my final two weeks of holidays...

yawns

2005-12-15T14:19:00.000+08:00

am really tired.
after sleeping over at michele's house, i thus conclude that sleeping at 2.30 am and waking up at 7 am does not do any wonders for your health.
i feel so TIRED.
want to sleep...
its my birthday soon! in...*counts*
OMG ONE WEEK!!!!!!!! i never knew it was so close already...
*yawns* still sleepy and half-zonked.
*sneezes* not to mention i caught a cold.
watched pride & prejudice; its really not bad.
Mr. Collins! he's so short, u can compare him to the fairies from Artemis Fowl or Oompa-Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
in fact, the way he bows, and greets them, is also akin to the Oompa-Loompas from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. his (lack of) height doesnt help much either.
so midget-sized, that when u compare to Mr. Darcy...
well, lets just say i thought it was hilarious.
*sneezes* oh no...
better go. school is starting in TWO WEEKS!! HOW CAN THAT BE?! WHERE HAVE THE DAYS OF HAPPINESS AND RELAXATION GONE?????
in two weeks i'm going to be a SENIOR. SECONDARY 2.
omg. i dont think i can handle the stress....

sighs

2005-12-06T09:51:00.000+08:00

am really bored. i wish my mum would hurry up and get my new schoolbooks for me...
BORED. B-O-R-E-D.
hmm do u think i shld change the skin? again?
cos i kinda like this skin.
heh >.<

stupid

2005-12-05T20:30:00.000+08:00

heh, i know its stupid.
but i just somehow like jap manga this year. despite the fact that its in chinese.
but i think its the mysteries. NO I AM NOT TALKING ABT DETECTIVE CONAN.
ok i sound like some half-deluded twit.
detective school q!! small fan-base, but the books (i.e., the mysteries) are cool.
and, typically, like all comics, you have the basic humour added in. which makes it all the better.
did i ever mention, that one of my favourite genres is mystery/action/adventure with humour added in?
thats why i like artemis fowl. and harry potter. and sammy keyes. ok..so pokemon isnt really counted as a mystery/action/adventure, but its funny. similarly with detective school q. its funny.
but its a tad sick. alot of sick jokes
i think the artist (Satou Fumiya) plus the writer (i cant remember his name) have a little sick sense of humour...
i mean, i dont exactly count perverse jokes as my kind of humour.
but the way the characters take it is funny. theres this one where the character's eyes bug out tremendously...
then screams.
but u just have to read it. i cant explain the perverse jokes in there; violation of my personal writing rights.
on the other hand, there are plenty of good, normal jokes:

Kinta (who is currently boasting to Class A abt the first case Class Q is assigned) : and i can't wait to get to the crime scene, can't you, Kyu? *slaps what he presumes to be Kyu's back/head. in reality, its a cactus.
Kinta: AAAAAAAAAARGH!! *sees needles sticking out of his hand*
Kyu (who is currently wearing a weird disguise made to look like a cactus in a pot, with the pot fitting over his head) : look! this came from the special disguises room! isn't it cool?! (obviously oblivious to Kinta, who is staring at his injured cactus-needle-spined hand in horror)
*Kinta hits Kyu*
Kyu: OWWW!!!Why'd you hit me?!
Kinta: STUPID!

okaaay. -.-" i dont think many people understood that. ask me and i'll show u the book. not to mention, like typical jap manga and anime, you have all those weird faces ^_^ which provide wonderful humour.
or maybe just for me and my warped sense of humour.
im bored. i mean, TWO POSTS in one day?! this is getting bad.

hp and the goblet of fire (:

2005-12-05T11:28:00.000+08:00

YES finally watched harry potter and the goblet of fire last night! *grins*
so cool!!!!!!!!!
i especially love that part where voldemort came out of the cauldron. he was so CREEPY. the last part was kinda like a horror movie. imo, considering that ive never watched a horror movie before.
but the beginning was really rushed. one minute theres an old man being killed, next thing i know Ron is being awakened by Hermione and being yelled at and he's swearing his head off; then the next minute, i see the Dark Mark! so rushed!!! i think it was really difficult to squash everything in, but STILL...
the last part was still cool. the creepy part where Fleur got dragged in by the bushes, and Cedric. *wicked grin*
i dunno why everyone thinks Cedric Diggory is so *cough ahemahem cough* hot. i mean, he's just some tall guy.
no offense to all cedric-lovers out there, but my favourite line was when voldemort said:
KILL THE SPARE.
sounded so creepy!!
loved it. but i still think the 3rd movie was better.
Argus Filch was totally hilarious.
at the sound of the cannon-BOOM.
Filch: what?
he kept lighting the cannon too early. and shocking everyone like that.
and at the Yule Ball, he danced with MRS. NORRIS. MRS. NORRIS!!
quite shocking.
but Voldemort is really creepy. he's like a skeleton, only with chalk-white skin stretched taut across it, huge, bulging eyes and a flat nose; slits for nostrils and spider-like hands. they followed J.K. Rowling's description to perfection. fantastic!!!!
heh>.< guess im kinda crazy, huh?
yesterday also went to old folks' home. ju eng home for senior citizens.
its really quite sad. the old people are really pitiful. old, wrinkled, some even scary. old building, first floor of new building and second floor of new building were OK. it was the third building that creeped me out.
as we were singing(and the cute kids dancing to lao shu ai da mi *sighs*) i noticed this old woman sitting away in another corridor in her wheelchair, screaming and calling something akin to monkey. no offense meant, but the first thing i thought of when i heard her was King Louie from The Jungle Book. it was really sad; my mother said she might have been mentally disturbed.
then there was this old woman; but she was quite friendly. tried to talk to me and my sister, but she only spoke in Cantonese. and i dont understand Cantonese. note to self: must learn some Cantonese. so we had to get my mum over to translate. she was pretty lonely. she apparently used to sell chickens at the market...and she was talking to my little three year old sis almost the whole time. i hope we can go back and visit her again someday.
most of the people at the old folks' home are quite friendly. we met at least one person on each floor who wanted to make friends. of course, having a cute little baby sister helped =D
one old woman was quite surprised to see Ethan Han(this really cute Eurasian boy from my sister's preschool) considering that he really looks ang moh. quite surprised cos he was speaking Chinese. talked to her in Chinese and everything. on the whole, everything went well.
i hope that we can do something like that again.
but singing christmas carols and chinese songs four times in a row is no laughing matter. i was DYING of thirst!!!!!!!
so every charity has its drawbacks. but we all had fun. and i hope we can do it again.

inet

2005-12-03T22:26:00.000+08:00

just been to inet-nothing new. *looks disgusted* when are we going to know abt our classes????
plus, wheres the info on RS mr. joseph toh promised us at the end of the term?
NADA. gone. pfft. or maybe it was never there.
ignore me; im quite mad.
AAARGH HOW COME THE HADES AVATAR CANT LOAD.
dont bother trying to understand. if u can see a pic of a guy in white (that really mean looking guy that looks like the White Witch from Narnia's brother) then good. that's the Hades Avatar. if you dont, forget it.
it looks better than the previous one.
my birthday in 2 weeks 6 days time! ^_^ i luff b'daes!
especially when its mine.
carolling's going to be at a drug addict's home, as well as some other first-time-celebrating Christmas this way Christians, so i think its a REALLY meaningful way of celebrating my birthday. spreading the love, AND the real message of Christ to people; although i'd prefer it on Christmas Eve. we were supposed to have a countdown, afterall. at midnight.

"10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...0!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

doesnt have the same ring to it as Merry Christmas!
but im not complaining. its close enuf to x'mas as it is.
waa im missing carolling for two weeks in a row. TWO WEEKS!! *shrieks*
how can that be?!
looking forward to meta camp and carolling PLUS bdae and x'mas!
hehe my father set up the x'mas tree again! this time with me and my sis!
after 3 years of hiatus, the x'mas tree returns once more! and we bought plenty of new ornaments. so ex. but pretty^_^
and they make the tree look so much better lah. i mean, before that we'd been using the same decorations used for the x'mas tree for TEN YEARS. TEN YEARS!
but these new decorations(and old ones too!) are also supposed to last us another ten years.
a twenty-year-old fake x'mas tree. with twenty-year-old decorations. do you think it'll look nice.
already at 10 yrs, our tree looks pretty old and decrepit. plus its dropping its fake 'pine leaves' all over the place. we keep having to sweep them up.
ranted enuf for one night. going to prepare for old folks' home visit tomorrow. SKIPPING CHURCH WHYWHYWHY???
eliza: how can i pass prisoner of azkaban and goblet of fire to u?when do u need it?

lame

2005-12-02T16:43:00.000+08:00

haha i have to admit-sometimes i can be LAME. i mean, everyone's seen the blogskins i've modified. tintin, pokemon, detective school q. i think the holidays are getting to my head.
STUPID TUITION.
they dont follow schl semester anymore lah.
that means i have to go for tuition even during the freakin' holidays!!
grr. WHERE HAS MY FREEDOM GONE?
whatever. i havent gotten my new books yet *sighs*
its my mum's bdae today! forgot to get her a present *blushes*
I WANT TO WATCH HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE.
why does it seem like im the only one who hasnt watched it yet?
argh im going to miss two sessions of carolling. TWO.
sherie is going to kill me.

back from bangkok(:

2005-11-30T09:00:00.000+08:00

whee just came back from bangkok last night.
the flight was sooo late lah.
only got back at 12 midnight
then only went to sleep at 1 am
but surprisingly im not tired. more bored.
thailand was funn.
except for the shopping *makes face* devoted one WHOLE DAY to shopping!! *sighs* at least my mum was happy..
DREAMWORLD!
totally rawks.
I MISS THE HANGING COASTER ALREADY. not to mention the Grand Canyon (which is kinda like an overdecorated Red Indian style water ride like the family ride at Wild Wild Wet)
and the super splash.
so fun lah! wet 'n wild is NOTHING compared to it.
when they say super splash, they MEAN super splash!!!
when u go down, water splashes around for like, at least 5 m in all directions.
the pple standing around get more wet than those that are in the car. i'd swear on it.
some schoolkids who were on excursion (funny place to go on excursion. what can u learn from DreamWorld?) actually went to this bridge directly in front of the slope, above the track. they get SUPER wet. on purpose. completely soaked. and i went and got soaked too. (:
Pattaya was...well...ok. i suppose. nothing exciting, just the beach. thankfully my dad chose a hotel near jomtien beach. to get to pattaya beach, u have to take a taxi. eeks. pattaya is kinda like a watered-down (but only slightly!) version of Geylang. *sighs* ive never seen so many pubs on one street. and we were, like, the only family there lah. all the ang mohs were sitting at pubs drinking Heineken and smoking and we were standing around wondering what in the world we can do there.
so u can say that we really didnt go to Pattaya, we went to Jomtien.
which is technically in Pattaya, but nevermind.
second last day, blackout! whole of Jomtien lost power. up til today, still dun know the reason. guess i'll never know. but it was daytime, not so exciting.
the funny thing was that the blackout happened just as my parents decided that they were going to leave us three kids at the resort villa to watch TV and go try a Thai massage or spa or something like that.
just about to step out of the house, then we noticed that the power had gone kaput.
at least power came back abt an hour later.
on the plane back, thought the pilot went mad.
after they said we would be landing in Singapore, the plane started bucking. up, down, up, down. then i think it started flying backwards
after that the engine accelerated and we started flying up
freaky.
then down, then up again. *sighs*
then passed right by singapore, could see through window.
thats when i thought that the plane had been hijacked by terrorists. but im waaay too paranoid. nothing like that.
just some difficulty cos it was raining in s'pore.

class chalet

2005-11-17T11:25:00.000+08:00

class chalet was kinda fun, but i dont think we did alot of bonding.
for one, half of them were upstairs most of the time playing poker and blackjack.
the other half was going crazy preparing the bbq. marinating chicken wings in 3 hours is no laughing matter. especially when ur supposed to leave the chickens out for at least a few hours before you begin. needless to say, they were less than spectacular.
and after the bbq, some certain people went upstairs to play poker and blackjack too, leaving a few people to clean up the kitchen (which looked like hiroshima and nagasaki after the atomic bomb attacks), living room, dining area and bbq pit.
crystal and i spent AGES scrubbing at that greasy grille. *shudders*
and my inkwell T-shirt was ruined.
grr. we only finished at, what, 12.30? PAST MIDNIGHT.
then at abt 1.30, we started the movie marathon. yes. ^_^ all the people who worked hard cleaning stayed downstairs and watched Miss Congeniality and Parent Trap.
only finished watching around 5.30
then everyone went to sleep.
except me..i prepared breakfast ^_^
its the first time i pulled an all-nighter.
i only went to sleep at 7.00
and then woke up at 7.30
*sighs* everyone else woke up around 9.30
or something like that.
then we all sat around and stoned, until Lucy brought out Uno.
then nine of us went cycling! ^_^
walked 1 1/2 hours to get to the nearest bicycle kiosk.
but it was worth it.
after that we dunked each other in the sea. (yes, we actually walked all the way from NSRCC to East Coast Park.)
and got soaking wet.
took loads of pictures! (on my handphone)
then took a taxi home.
quite tiring. but fun.
went to sleep at 10 pm
quite early, i know.
i was ZONKED. but then the others watched THREE movies. 50 First Dates, 13 going on 30, and something abt a man. i cant remember.
and i was the earliest to wake up.
everyone ate ice cream while i was sleeping! heh o.0
cant believe i slept through the entire thing..
so tired.
the chalet was a mess. wont elaborate.
lets just say it looked worse than the first night, and thats saying something.
*sighs* im just glad to be home. and i have learnt something: I AM NEVER EVER PREPARING A BARBECUE AGAIN.
its just way too much work, and you dont really get much out of it.
burnt food? YUECH.
not to mention the fire. my classmates slaved over it for 3 hours. then housekeeping came and got it roaring in ten minutes. TEN MINUTES!!
i cant believe it. its quite embarrassing.
i think ive ranted enough for one day..

noo!

2005-11-10T15:17:00.000+08:00

nooo!! i dont have any ideas for CAP!!!
how am i going to get in when i dont have anything good for my portfolio?
im not exactly enthu abt doing RS either.
especially interviewing kindergarten kiddos.
maybe something which i am INTERESTED in..?
bleah. =P
so depressing.
dont have inspiration for CAP.
HOW CAN I GET IN????
hopefully something will strike me soon.
maybe i can write about boredom.
or..
i dont know. i like writing depressing scenes.
i cant describe a sunny day.
i can only describe rainy, stormy weather.
ok..so maybe i COULD describe a sunny day if i wanted to.
but stormy and rainy weather is my forte.
so i'm not suure..
should i write about something rainy?
boredom. anticipation. waiting for something that will never happen.
something like that..?
I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!!

2005-11-09T14:10:00.000+08:00

last day of school (:

2005-11-04T14:55:00.000+08:00

oh YES. today is THE last day of school for the year. sayonara, 2005!
eegh. got some weird marks today.
nearly failed chinese. BIIG surprise. 2.4. mum wasnt too happy. to put it in grade terms, C+. eegh.
on the other hand, i got ONE 4.0 =D fantastic. for history. A+!!! so you might say my grades vary.
yayy last night my parents surprised me and brought me to eat gelato ice cream after tuition. ^_^ near RGPS. estivo gelativo or something like that.. cant really remember its name. but it had the COOLEST flavours. but ive tasted better tiramisu.
cant believe it. we go to a shop specialising in gelato, and my parents go and buy tiramisu.
ooh. caramel ice cream and peanut butter cup ice cream together taste like Snickers. ^_^ so niice. makes up completely for having to go for tuition on Hari Raya Puasa. imagine going for tuition on a PUBLIC HOLIDAY. ruins your holiday completely.

YES I CAN FINALLY RELAX!!!!!!!!!
i want to watch Pokemon!! watch movies! do wadeva i want.. XD
i got everyone's x'mas presents, but i think i mentioned that already, didnt i?
i also got Shadow Beast by Justin Richards for myself. =D finished it already, totally rocked. now i just need to read ghost soldiers, stage fright and legion of the dead.
i can sleep in late onmonday...(:
maybe i shld change my blogskin.

holidays!!

2005-11-03T12:15:00.000+08:00

holidays are coming!! ^_^ extra happy. only one more day of school!!! im going for a photog workshop friday, so ill miss all those booring activities. 'course, i'll miss getting my report card back too. ): still..i dont feel like seeing how i did. i did ridiculously terribly horrendously for math. eegh. grammar has gone on the blink. not to mention that i nearly failed chinese. still. it was expected. and almost everyone else almost failed chinese too. some others *glares* actually passed well. grr. Sarah Chong, for instance. nah, dont worry. no grudges held. ^_^

others failed. i wont say who. but let's just say im not exactly the Chinese extraordinaire of the year.
photog workshop!! i want to learn how to take niiice photos. then i can learn how to use the camera properly. THEN maybe my dad will get me a niice camera!! or maybe he'll get a nice camera for himself, and give me the old one. bwahaha. so far, my photos are so-so. not really thaat fantastic. i mean, who goes all out just to take a cool photo of a waterfall, then take a photo of the DANGER sign into the bargain?? looks a darn ugly sight.

it's seriously ugly. bleah..
btw, AWAS is DANGER in malay. that was on a holiday to Kota Tinggi, where i took a photo of the marvelous DANGER sign..
v. funny. ok go on, laugh all u want. the AWAS sign is that yellow thing. not so obvious, so i didnt really notice it, until i saw the photo...argh.
oliver twist!! harry potter and the goblet of fire!!! chronicles of narnia!!!!!
MOVIES.
i want to watch so many!!
but i cant watch ALL of them.
will have to skip Oliver Twist to watch Harry Potter.
then i can watch Chronicles of Narnia on my b'dae=D
Chronicles of Narnia opens 22 Dec in Spore. my bdae is 23 Dec so YAYNESS!!!!
my mum says i can watch
trying to arrange a way to exchange x'mas presents!!!!
how can we when NUS High only releases its students on the 21st??
to kill a mockingbird^_^ jan says there's rape in there. *pukes* hope not. or else next year will be a very sick year. Romeo and Juliet...To Kill A Mockingbird..
oh well. have bought my x'mas presents^_^ feel accomplished!!
happy holidays, all!

holidays!!

2005-11-03T00:15:00.000+08:00

book review!!

2005-11-01T15:20:00.000+08:00

ok. i know that this is an old idea, something i had a few months ago. and my friend Jan is doing it too. but i want to recommend this book. 'cos i like it. its AMAZING. it also helps you understand the New Testament better. ever wondered how to understand the four gospels better? maybe you couldnt understand it in the olden day context.
Jesus in jeans and a t-shirt. healing, touching lives and hearts, saving souls, doing all he did for the glorification of our LORD. interesting ideas. absorbing detail, references to the New Testament. The Gospel of John, told over again in the context of an American modern day society. i strongly recommend it.

Title: Eli
Author: Bill Myers
Synopsis: A fiery car crash hurls TV journalist Conrad Davis into another world exactly like ours except for one detail-Jesus Christ did not come 2000 years ago, but today.
Starting with angels heralding a birth in the back of a motel laundry room, the skeptical Davis watches the gospel unfold in today's society as a Messiah in T-shirt and blue jeans heals, raises people from the dead, and speaks such startling truth that he captures the heart of a nation.
But the young man's actions and his criticism of the religious establishment earn him enemies as ruthless asa they are powerful.
An intense and thought-provoking novel, Eli strips away religious tradition to present Jesus fresh and unvarnished. With gripping immediacy, Bill Myers weaves a story whose truth will refresh your faith.

netball carn

2005-11-01T14:45:00.000+08:00

oh YEAH MAN. netball carn was on friday. forgot to post about it. sheesh. -.-" YAY WE WON SHOOTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! haha seriously ecstatic. couldnt believe it at first. i thought 111 would win that component, seeing that they've got Rachel Soh, whose ball seemed to go through the net almost every time, but we STILL WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cheers* we rawk!!! our practice paid off!!!! go hannah & yining! and me. dun forget. haha. >.<
pity our banner was too big. or i think we could have won that competition too.
OUR CHEERING RAWKED. I DUN CARE WHAT ANYONE SAID. I DUN CARE IF WE WERE DISQUALIFIED COS WE WERE LATE. I DUN CARE. WE STILL RAWK.
and its true.
i think court 2 is cursed. or maybe we were just suay. whatever.
we kept losing our netball matches on that court. that same court we practiced playing on every PE lesson.
then when we moved to other courts, we won. 3-0! whoo!!!
strange.
oh well. short post here. am currently reading Eli by Bill Myers. i strongly recommend it.
What would happen if Jesus came during the present day?
What would happen if Jesus hadn't come down more than 2000 years ago, but now?
What would it be like?
oh well. i recommend it.

FINALLY.

2005-10-31T17:30:00.000+08:00

drama nite is FINALLY over. phew.
it was so cool, so much hard work, and SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
although we didnt win, although we didnt get picked for drama nite actually, in my opinion, we had lotta fun.
The Tower of Babel, 113 version, ROCKS. so much humour!
the audience kept laughing
"this has been your popularity chart. This WILL BE your popularity chart! why art thou old but not yet wise? Your stocks will plummet, your ratings will drop, your SUBJECTS WILL LEAVE YOU. are you prepared to handle that? I DONT THINK SO. SO STOP. BEING. SO. SILLY!!!!"

my fave line in the whole skit. jmo, 101's skit was a disaster. i couldnt understand anything. morte.
ooh. i finally found out what al dente is. whoo. now i know what Bianca Castafiore meant...
"for the last time, dont overcook my pasta! Al Dente, as we say in Italy!"
haha. she was in prison and she told that to the prison guard who was bringing her the food.

oh well. going off topic. drama nite is overrr. yeah man. can finally relax..
got terrible marks for chinese

54%

my chinese has never been good.

i thought i'd fail.
great relief.

I WANT MY ENGLISH COMPO BACK. I NEED IT FOR CAP!!!!!!!!!!!
Hurricane Katrina! i cant believe i wrote abt it.
i like my beginning.
i like my first page
"We're going to die. We're all going to die. This pathetic, rickety, creaky old shed is going to collapse and we're all going to die."

HOLIDAYS ARE COMING.
ooh. tbbfc v. gd acting

eww. it tastes terrible (the lip gloss) and up til now i can still taste it when i drink water. eww.
yucks. yuckyuckyuckyuckyuckyuckyuckyuckyuckyuck...
i think u've got the point.
although 113 didnt get in, we still RAWK. dont be sad. although we didnt get in, OUR SKIT STILL BEATS THE REST. MUAHAHAHA. -.-" sound evil. random crapping here.
gr8 job, everyone! wish jo and carolyn could have joined us..but..
i know our skit will be a skit everyone will remember. i just KNOW IT. i'll remember it too.

completely FREAKED

2005-10-26T14:58:00.000+08:00

eegh. Drama Nite has got me completely FREAKED OUT. those ******* girls from OM won't cooperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how can this be called a class effort if half the class isn't involved? i can't control my own classmates. sheesh.

i feel like such a failure.

i can't do anything right! everytime i take up a role of responsibility, i fail.
CANT STAND IT ANYMORE. ever since Avril quit as director, i feel responsible as director, together with Cheriel and Sherlyn, because we're scriptwriters.
and i say it isnt fair.
OM should be done during free time. Drama Nite shld be done during time allocated for Drama Nite. this thing is such a failure. WHO CAN BRING CARDBOARD BOXES?

someone hand me a gun. i feel like killing off all my classmates. then myself. its just so darn IRRITATING. and im so darn UPSET. and i dont know why. *sobs* i miss my old life. where i could hide in a corner and noone would bother about me. where i neednt take up roles of responsibility with uncooperative people, because i will never be considered a leader. my old life.

a quiet life. most pple from RGPS probably remember me as this quiet little hermit crab, coming out of my shell only when asked to.

until sec 1 this year. im completely different, but im not happy. i want to go back. i miss the time if, whenever i offered a suggestion in class, it was probably considered a half-miracle. "one of [her] best pupils", as my form teacher said. someone who can succeed, quietly.

i used to be able to do that. now i cant. i fail. and try again. and fail again. now nobody respects me. because i am a failure. now i fail. but unlike before, where if i failed i could just shrink back into my corner, and noone would take notice of me, now when i fail, because i've come out and assumed a role of responsibility, i'm in the spotlight and my failure is so obvious.

perhaps i should apply for a transfer to another school. Nobody would care anyway. noone would miss me.

HALLELUJAH

2005-10-21T19:45:00.000+08:00

HALLELUJAH AND PRAISE THE LORD. OUR EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! veryveryveryveryvery happy. went to Jurong Library to celebrate. and i bought 'Killing Time' by Justin Richards. coooool. kinda spiritual/mystical/adventure style, which isnt really my thing, but theres this element of mystery and suspense which is just so COOL. like, how come a man who lived in 1855 is still living in the year 1937? why does a lady who (according to calculations from her year of birth) is 90 years old, look barely 30? and why does a man in his thirties, age quickly until he dies at 50, looking like a 80 year old man? and what do they all have to do with the clock shop named Edax Rerum? its creeeepy. btw, Edax Rerum is Latin for 'Time Flies'. its so COOL. i dunno. i just like it although my friend would say its weird. anyway. EXAMS ARE OVER. TIME TOPARTY. i can watch Pokemon tomorrow! (okaaay. i know its childish. but somehow, watching cute anime things fighting and weird anime characters screaming and running away and falling down and all sorts of weird funny things appeals to me at ten-thirty on a Saturday morning...)

WHATEVER. i can be slaaaaack. going to surf Internet 'til ten. bwahahahaha. FREEDOM BECKONS. -.-" okaaaay. now that was lame. happy end of eoys, everyone! enjoy ur freedom, 'til next year!

sick.

2005-10-16T17:00:00.000+08:00

oh no. im sick. *sniffs* yep. and TOMORROW'S THE EOYS. what wonderful luck. i am such a LUUUUUUUCKY person. and my sore throat's really bad. to top it off my parents forgot i had a sore throat and bought me nasi briyani for lunch. amazing. *coughs* obviously didnt help my throat. and yes, i was at SSS so they had to buy lunch for me. argh.

runny nose and a sore throat. two things which i feel should be abolished. they make you feel absolutely TERRIBLE but they're not serious enough for you to wangle an MC. like i want to stay away from school anyway. i'll probably blow away the whole of Block J tomorrow morning with my sneezes and coughs. yikes. and they dont allow water bottles during the paper. OH NO.
1 and 1/2 hours in an AIR-CON room with no water bottle? are they trying to KILL me????????? i am seriously ill.

why do i fall ill at the most unopportune of moments? or maybe im just plain unlucky. to fall ill the day before EOYs is terrible, let me tell you. my mum is making me take Vitamin C and she bought TWO PACKS of lozenges today. TWO PACKS. yupp. next thing i know she's going to make me drink chicken essence. *pukes* its a good thing im not visiting my grandmother today. she would make me drink tonic drinks. which, let me tell you, are far worse than chicken essence. but on the other hand, never drink chicken essence in the morning, especially if you have to drink milk. milk, coffee, or any breakfast beverage goes with chicken essence. chicken essence is not for the morning. its for the afternoon, evening, night... but not breakfast. it makes you feel positively ill. i speak from experience. had to drink chicken essence everyday of PSLE last year. *winces*

what's the big deal about chicken essence anyway? is it scientifically proven to be really beneficial to your concentration? if not, then why do our mothers keep telling us to drink chicken essence, especially before exams?

what's so special about the chicken, anyway?

WHY??WHY?????

2005-10-14T16:50:00.000+08:00

Ms. Rozanah scolded us. AGAIN. and AGAIN, she yelled at us for cleanliness and THEN for being late for assembly and THEN because she said the quality of our work is DETERIORATING. i dont mind the first 2. i mean, the classroom WAS slightly slightly dusty(and in my opinion, ms rozanah has this thing abt cleanliness. 3 things inside the bin and she tells us to empty it. sheesh.) and we WERE late for assembly. but what really IRKS me is that she compared us to the mainstream. like everyone else.

WHY DOES EVERYONE DO THAT????? ITS DRIVING ME UP THE WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

everytime they scold us, its mainstream THIS, mainstream THAT, GEP THIS, GEP THAT...just because we're in the GEP doesnt mean we're the best! gifted pupils may not take the test in the first place. after all, it IS optional, and who wants an extra exam anyway? then, they may also reject the MOE's offer into the program (assuming that they get selected) to stay with their friends in their own school. this means they're still considered mainstream, although they're much brighter than normal. and in the end, WE are the ones considered the elite. PLEASE. sometimes i think i should have remained in MGS. and then gone on to MGS Secondary later on. everyone outside RGS seems SO HAPPY and stress-free! people seem to think GEP is the best. people (especially teachers. grr.) already view us as the country's future leaders. thinking about it, i feel like migrating to Japan. how do we handle it???? the country's future resting on your shoulders, people telling you to do well for the benefit of our country in the future, at PRIMARY FOUR????????? it's a great deal! but its RGS that does it. it makes you SNAP. GEP pupils which went to other schools seem much happier. even Kylie from NUS High seems more carefree. we struggle to do our best, and then we get yelled at again.
still dont understand? let me put it this way...
we GEPers got into RGS through the Direct School Admission(DSA). most of the mainstream got in using their PSLE results. with more than 100 places already taken up by DSA pupils, they have to get high marks to get in. thus, i can conclude that many mainstream girls are far more intelligent than some GEP girls like me. everyone thinks GEP is the best. no one EVER stops to think that mainstream might be better, just because those pupils didnt go through the GEP.
Nowadays parents are becoming increasingly kiasu. my father's colleague is preparing his daughter for the GEP test. he keeps calling my sister up to ask what kind of questions were asked during the GEP test last year. PLEASE. he acts like this is PSLE, instead of just a selection test. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!!!!!!!
yesterday ms huang asked us why we were all so competitive. what she may not realise is that partly why we're so competitive is because of the way society has bred us. we have to upkeep our status as Singapore's elite, and they keep reminding us to do this, which just makes us even more competitive. by comparing us to the mainstream, they make us even more competitive, since we want to do better compared to the mainstream, so that they will STOP comparing us to the mainstream.have you ever heard a Dunman High student hating her best friend because her best friend got 1/2 mark more than her for the math paper? bet not. only in RGS. ONLY in RGS. why do people keep comparing??? first thing my mum askes after i tell her my exams results is what my classmates got so that she can compare. and the teachers also keep comparing us WONDERFUL *ahem* students to the mainstream, which isnt helping the situation, since we are hard-pressed to do more work, and study more, and work more, and study more, and work more, and study more... and in the end we are so stressed we DONT do well, then they scold us, and compare us, and the vicious cycle repeats itself over and over...
mainstream pupils and GEP pupils both take the same exams, study the same subjects, study the same syllabus(OK. So we studied Animal Farm for lit and they didnt. but other than that...) so what's the difference??? why does everyone have such high hopes for the gifted? just because someone is recognised as gifted when young, doesnt mean he or she will grow up to be a marvelous, excellent country leader. he or she could turn out like Osama bin Laden, or someone who plots terrible things against the country. ok, so you argue, that's why they're recognised from young and taught from young to do so. but all the pressure put on us makes us forget. ever noticed that intelligent people like scientists are often absent-minded and forgetful? when you pressurize us to do well, and pressurize us too much, that's when we concentrate fully on getting that excellent A*** and forget all our morals. today we were late for assembly because we were studying for the Physics test. we were so absorbed in force, convection, conduction, radiation, units of measurement... that we didnt hear the bell. CUT US SOME SLACK. if we continue this way, we'll (or at least me) probably have a mental breakdown and be sent to Woodbridge screaming and foaming at the mouth or in an epileptic fit, caused by the stress, by the time we reach JC.
so why? give me some answers. i want to know.
I CANT STAND IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOTALLY. we were trying to open it and then the ENTIRE THING just fell off onto the first floor below us! right next to the air-con generators. then later i went to check it out. it was cut cleanly in half except for one little corner where i think it landed and the glass smashed and the metal frame was bent. it looked so COOL. i wonder if they've taken it away yet....

haha. teacher's day was a madhouse. i cant believe i went back to rgp and MDM PANG IS PREGNANT. OMG. its so unexpected! err...and rgs was a madhouse. since we cant go into the staffroom we were calling the teachers and there was a HUGE crowd outside each staffroom...

haha. firstly, im hyper. I AM GOING TO WATCH CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY TONIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *swings around room in madness* whoo! plus, its the NATIONAL DAY HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!! three lesson-less, school-less days!! whoo!! haha. though i did have to go to school for the national day celebrations, which SUCKED. other than the community singing. it rained, so everyone went into the hall, except for us sec ones, who got dragged into the KS Chee Theatre for a Live Telecast. so exciting!*sarcasm dripping from every word* whoever was controlling the camera, you need some steady hands and a sharp eye. the camera kept swinging wildly like two pple were fighting over the camera... pretty stupid. and WE COULDNT HEAR A SINGLE FREAKING WORD. or maybe thats just because i was at the back(stupid. my class is the last class, 113, and so we're put at the back. problem? most of the pple in my class are SHORT.) and the camera conked out. whee. so we couldnt watch much...didnt have fun...but i <333 National Day Songs! they're just so COOL. muahaha.

then it rained.AGAIN. sheesh. and i had to walk home myself, but at least i bought a Mars Bar from the vending machine to eat on the way home:)tho shouldnt have... had lunch straight after coming home. will(hopefully) post later abt Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. bbyes:)

lotta fun!!!

2005-06-13T12:39:00.000+08:00

i know i havent posted for so long!!sorrie!!!but who reads this blog aniwae. its half DEAD. ah well. last friday was a blast. I DIDNT DO ANY HOMEWORK!!haha. just had a whole lotta fun the whole day :P firstly, at 8.30 in the morning, i squashed myself with my mother and sisters into our neighbours' car(together with our neighbours) then we all fought for seats and decided who sat on the floor and who sat on the seats(yup thats how roomy the car is-you can sit on the floor real comfortably. nothing like MY family's car) bleah. then, we all went off to the goat farm in Lim Chu Kang. sheesh. anyone heard of Hay Dairies?? and it was so cool. got to feed the goats and everything. but goats' milk SUCKS. i tell you...its horrible. got a rather grassy taste and all in all is rather plain-tasting. give me COW'S milk any day!!! the fact that the milk my mum bought for us was chocolate flavoured didnt help either( i HATE chocolate milk with a vengeance. makes me sick)

then off to the cow's farm. if i thought the goat's farm was bad(which i didnt) then this place was a living nightmare. statues of HINDU gods and goddesses(obviously the owners are indian) and the cows are wandering all over the place and you can see the cow poop all over the floor!!!!!!!!EW!!!then there was this incredibly stupid cow that was eating the grass (wild its a miracle it isnt poisoned) and it had a GARLAND around its neck and a NOSE RING. how devoted to cows can you get???

then since we were all so eager to get off the cow farm we decided to go to the small animals' farm. wait, no. bird farm. i THINK. then when we got there this maid told us ma'am isnt here so we had to go back. then when the car was about to leave, the owner came back. and she shut the door right in our face!!!!!!!talk about weirdness!!!!

so, since the cow farm and the bird farm sucked; change of plan: now lets go to the FROG FARM!!!!!!!!!!!EWWWW!!!!!!!i was so scared i'd step on a frog or something. looked like there was more than one dead frog floating around. *throws up*
then my neighbours bought tadpoles and frogs(in the different stages of the life cycle) cos they were planning to get them for a school. then i kept wondering what would happen if the frogs escaped(i mean they were put in those microwave-type containers with a hole bored through the top, how secure can that be???) and what if any of them died. (erm....there is only SO MUCH air in the boot...?)

so that wasnt really much of a success except for the goat farm. i shall skip lunch where there wasnt anything much. we DID see an aloe vera farm though...with cacti included. then decided to go see the fish farm. Qian Hu or something or other. first, viewed all the ugly fish in the fish gallery(they really ARE ugly, this isnt a matter of opinion) all the arowanas costing a few K and the STINGRAYS and the ALBINOS. they even had albino frogs. EW!

then we went off to one side and found the other small animals. small animals my foot. sure they were small but PATHETIC i tell u. one sickly little rabbit lying in a dirty little hutch. and several obese fat white rats just lying at the bottom of their cage doing nothing. and one pitiful hamster curled up in a ball at the corner of its cage. oh well. the longkang fishing was better(yepps we went LONGKANG fishing!!!! wish my dad were there) but the fish were so ********* fast!!!!!!!!!!!! cannot catch any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!so i got kinda mad at the end b'cos my mum caught 1 and my sis caught 3. sheesh. and then we brought the fish home. they are dying away as i type. really. only 1 left i think.could be dead by now... but i dont dare check.

so after we were done we went back so my neighbour and my sis and me (horrendous grammar) could go for our art lessons. which arent really tt bad. then west coast park...and i was given control of the DIGITAL CAMERA!!so cool!!!(haha u probably think im psychotic by now) so i took photos of everyone. (waaa i couldnt catch a photo of my neighbour sleeping on the mat-could have made nice blackmail material. he woke up b4 i could tho)

kk i noe ive bored everyone with my looooooooooong post. bbyes for now.
