listen to the music of the moment ♥
Had NAPFA 2.4km run today. It was horrible but I'm glad it's over alr. Maybe if I really dread SBJ a lot, I'll go see a doctor tmr. Was contemplating to do it tdy but in the end reached home quite late.
Lego meeting was really productive tdy I think, cos we did quite a number of stuffs. Even though Ms Yanti came down really hard on us, I hope everything will still be happy and well, what with the fund-raising events etc.
I think maybe my wisdom tooth is growing out, cos I feel this weird teething feeling at the back of my mouth. Maybe, just maybe, it'll give me wisdom for my piano exams...
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Even though it's midnight and I'm not sleeping, I am happy! Because I've just completed by EoM and my Math assignments are more or less completed (with a few questions which Idk how to do). I think I'm only left with Chem, GP and Econs that have to be handed up tmr. But I've got these settled as well. There's no Chem and Econs tutorials tmr so I still got chance. As for GP, I'll just hand up on Tuesday or something. Maybe I'll do the summary in a while, and hopefully it won't take much time.
Blessed be.

I can't believe E-learning week is ending. Even though I don't really like it, it's still a form of "holiday"! Plus, I can sleep late and wake up late! Sigh, work work work work work. I need my coffee!
Oh, here's something that amused me. I think such "indicators of success" surveys are really entertaining:D
♥ Going through the e-Learning online lectures is as good as attending a lecture in college.
Disagree
♥ I enjoyed the features found in the e-Learning package, such as the online lecture (with animations, links and videos). Disagree
♥ I found the features found in the e-Learning package effective in my learning. Neutral
♥ There is enough technical support from the staff for my e-Learning experience (referring only to Physics). Agree
♥ I find the Discussion Board useful. Neutral
♥ I would rather go back to school to ask my questions during tutorials than to ask them using the Discussion Board. Disagree
♥ I hope to have some form of online tutorial with my teachers over MSN or a similar instant messaging platform. Agree
♥ This week of e-Learning has made me feel insecure. Strongly Agree
♥ This week of e-Learning has made me a more independent learner. Disagree
♥ I wish to have some form of e-Learning during normal term-time to complement my learning. Agree
♥ I want another week of e-Learning next year! Neutral
I think I'm quite honest lol. The last one made me think for a while. As much as I don't really like the idea of e-learning and all, I don't mind having a week off from schl. Sigh, I still can't believe it's gna be Thursday tmr:(
Blessed be.

I feel like a pig. I got up from my bed just less than an hour ago. I still want to sleep!
BOO E-LEARNING
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
WOOT! I am officially done with Math E-lectures :D:D:D:D
After an afternoon of all the nonsensical repetitions of slides cos of wrong answers and a throbbing headache from the woman lecturer with heavy breathings, I am done with it! What's left are the two assignments yay!
Blessed be.

There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. This was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary and the shop they visited had a beautiful teacup.
They said to the shop assistant, "May we see that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful." As the lady handed it over to them, the teacup spoke suddenly.
"You don't understand," it said. "I haven't always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay. My master took me, rolled me, patted me over and over and I yelled out, 'Let me alone' but he only smiled, 'Not yet.'"
"Then I was placed on a spinning wheel," the teacup said, "and suddenly I was spun around. 'Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!' I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, 'Not yet.'"
Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head, 'Not yet.'
Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. 'There, that's better', I said. And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. 'Stop it, stop it!' I cried. He only nodded, 'Not yet.'
Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head saying, 'Not yet.'
Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and I couldn't believe it was me. 'It's beautiful. I'm beautiful.'
'I want you to remember, then,' he said, 'I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you would have dried up.
I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled.
I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked.
I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened; you would not have had any color in your life.
And if I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't survive for very long because the hardness would not have held.
Now you are a finished product.
You are what I had in mind when I first began with you.'
Moral: God knows what He's doing for all of us. He is the potter and we are His clay. He will mold us so that we may be made into a flawless piece of work to fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Let this story remind you that God has a perfect plan for your life. He may need to place some obstacles in your life to strengthen your character, so that you may be strong in the days of greater adversity. Don't get discouraged when you feel like the heat of the struggle is going to burn you. God knows exactly when to pull you out and deliver you from that problem and when He does you will be much wiser and stronger than you were before.
God knows your inner strength and ability to be strong even in the midst of a problem.
Blessed be.

Sakae ytd was yum but now I'm broke so :(
This is day two of E-learning week and I can't wait for it to be over. I've done a bit of Chem, a bit of Math and the GP vocab quiz (oh as well as the Olympics quiz lol). I've still a long way to go sigh. Math is killing me cos the lecturer is very slow. I'm pretty determined to finish all the Math lectures today. Or at least the bulk of it. I wanna start catching up on my Math tutorials cos I'm lagging behind very badly.
Before it gets over, there are tons of things I want to get done.
I wanna:
♥ jog so I won't fail my 2.4
♥ train sit-ups and inclined pull-ups so I wont fail them so badly
♥ see a doctor so he can tell me my knee is spoilt and I won't have to do NAPFA :D
♥ go out and do e-learning cos I don't wanna be cooped up at home cos I keep getting distracted
♥ break my wrist (preferably the left one) so I don't have to take my practical exam
♥ catch up on Math tutorials
♥ do Physics SHM tutorial
♥ understand Chem
♥ read the stupid Econs book Mr Chon forced us to buy
There are probably more but I currently am too drained of energy (cos of stupid Math e-lecture questions) to think of them. I've completed two and a half out of six lectures and I'm quite happy about that.
Blessed be.

Sheng Hui is so funny. He added me on facebook tdy so I added him back on MSN.
shenghui:hahas gb!
me:why!! hahahaha
shenghui: i thought u were more of a sports person
kahhui: wow!compliment leh.haha isit cos i in soccer now?
shenghui: HAHS.girls got soccer one?
kahhui: hmm.gb also outdoor one what.got do drills lol
shenghui: lol
kahhui: ya i in girls soccer now
shenghui: lol isn't soccer tough
kahhui: okay la.sometimes.but its fun
shenghui: if u gave me a million dollar to paly that sport i would rather cry.table-tennis more fun lor!x)
kahhui: haha why u dun like play soccer ah
shenghui: nah not really
kahhui: table tennis very exciting to watch cos very fast
shenghui: lol really meh.haas the person who plays it gets heart attack
And then we started discussing about table tennis in AHS and the schl's results and whatnots. Then we went onto more sensitive topics and he shared stuffs about himself which I promised not to tell anyone. I like talking to juniors cos they make me laugh and remind me of good times.
I'm pretty honored cos I asked him why he was willing to share and he said it was cos he thinks I'm trustworthy and I'm like a sister to him! SO YAY TO ME LOL!:D
Blessed be.

Had Lego (ha ha!) meeting tdy early in the morning. It was pretty productive I would say, much better than last time. And things were acty being done and plans were like being carried out and all. Which is good! :D We played some games, which were quite interesting lol. Esp the second game about the empty chair:D
Brought my Econs worksheet to hand up but stupid staffroom was locked. So, thanks to Jimmy, who made his way up to the letter slot area to hand up both his and my assignments. Who knows what would Mr Chon do to make me suffer during Econs lessons AND remedial if I don't hand up my assignment timely. After the mtg, a couple of us went to lunch tgt then checked out this bakery for materials. And I went church after that.
My knee hurt a few times during service today (when I stand up or sit down for too long I think). I hope it's nothing serious. I think if the pain or ache or whatever I'm feeling persists then I'll see a doctor. Then maybe I won't have to do NAPFA! (Yay! No SBJ:D)
I'm really tired today cos ytd after the match it was pretty late and I stayed online to find out more about Baihakki(!!!!!). Tdy cos of the mtg I woke up early and tmr I have piano lessons in the afternoon so I cannot sleep in till noon:( cos gotta practise a little before lesson. Sigh.
Mum booked the studios for me to play. Exams coming in a month's time and I'm pretty screwed up for it so Idk why I still have to go for it. I'm a hundred percent sure I'll screw up but somehow, my teacher has like faith in my or something. Reminds me of the mustard seed thing, just that I'm quite sure this mustard seed won't grow into a big tree. My teacher thinks I have some secret talent in me or something. Sigh, if only...
(Photos from the match are on my fb and maybe lj later on if the uploading doesn't take forever.)
Blessed be.

Something is wrong with my right knee. Did sbj tdy during PE. Kinda surprised cos I did better than previous years. I jumped once almost 170 I think. Or somewhere near there lol. Quite happy about it, since it means that I'm like on my way to getting better grades for sbj. But there's s&r, which I totally suck at:( and inclined pullups as well. I think the only thing I can do okay at is 2.4:(. NAPFA is coming soon, in about two weeks' time I think. So crappy!
Next week is E-learning week so yay? LOL. It's not exactly something to be happy about since I still gotta go online during lesson times and do work etc. I think this E-learning week is also for us to catch up on our work after the JCTs and stuffs. But for me, I'll end up catching up on my sleep since I've been really tired these few nights and still end up sleeping late.
Lessons have been fun today, as usual cos of the group of us. Econs was really funny cos of some weird game the teacher played and Ruby was having a lot of funny exploiting me and making me laugh. She kept making me laugh the whole day, during Econs, Chem and PE. This other teacher took us for Chem tdy. He's called Mr Ng. He took us before and I think he's quite nice compared to the scouts teacher. Which reminds me, I've got Chem homework to do sighhhhhhhhhhhhh...
And I can't wait for tmr. Training will start early so we can all go watch soccer match at Kallang after training! Finally a day I don't have to stone and wait ages till training starts lol.
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Something that's happy about today is that it's Gorden's birthday! So,...
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GORDEN!!
Watching 26/08 celebrate his birthday kinda reminded me of how much I acty miss the class. I think that class is really special cos of every single person in the class. Even though the class has a lot of foreign students and initially I thought I won't be able to click with them, it turned out different and I acty really like the class and most imptly, the ppl in the class. I miss the times in the class where people will crack funny jokes during lessons and we'd have long breaks and spend time in library slacking and waiting for PE, contemplating whether to skip PE or not. I miss Computing pracs where I'd spend the whole time glued onto the computer screen, trying to figure out some code and feeling really accomplished after successfully coding out a program. I miss Jia Jin's tablet, which is so smart it can acty respond to his voice. I miss many, many more things of 26/08.
The more I ramble, the more I think I don't really enjoy my current class. I'm really extremely thankful for R, SM, ZY, YR and WN cos they make lessons much more bearable and times in the class more fun and enjoyable. Okay, that's it. I'll reminisce about 26/08 another time then lol.
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Today is bad news day.
First bad news of the day is that I gotta attend Econs remedial. It is bad news probably because the teacher taking me for remedial is Mr Chon, the new econs teacher after Mrs Than, and he's not the best person to have extra lessons with, seriously. Thankfully, I have R and ZY with me as well. And even more thankfully, it's held on Tuesday at 3.50pm-4.40pm! Which means, I have one period less before the OCIP mtg, and I won't feel like I'm wasting my Tuesday every week waiting aimlessly for two periods. Mr Chon also kinda insisted for us to purchase this Econs book, which costs at most 40S$. Sigh, I think he doesn't like our class and the feeling's mutual. Gah, as much as it may be good for my Econs, I still am not looking forward to it at all:(
Second bad news of the day is the report slips. Bad news cos I gotta bring them home and let my dad sign. I haven't exactly told them my grades yet. I mean, I can't possibly tell them I didn't study for Chem which is why I got an S, right? It's so horrible Idk how I'll be explaining my (low) marks.
Third bad news of the day is that I've got to do Math tutorial and Econs homework today, now. Gross. Not that I don't like Math. It's more of because I'm like yawning incessantly (YES) now, and it's causing me to tear like crazy and sniffle like mad. I hate this - knowing that I'm tired but being unable to sleep.
Fourth bad news is that I probably cannot go for OBS (overseas) this year! This year, we get to go either Korea or India. And each one only can have up to 15 people, our of the whole cohort.a pity I have OCIP. But it's okay, since I attended OBS before, even though it was really noob and was held in Ubin.
Next bad news of the day is PW. Hamsa called tdy, telling me to send her the draft of the oil proposal by this Friday so she can try to get NEA to help us and stuffs like that. Also, she said she's leaving Alpha Synovate, so she has to pass on her baton to her colleague called Evelyn. I hope Evelyn is just as nice as, if not nicer than, Hamsa.
Another bad news of the day is tmr. Sigh, because of MTL, some classes get like half the day canceled. But my class do not have and hence, I end up still having stupid Math (not to mention double Econs and double Chem and PE), which means I gta do hmwk. But I'm extremely tired what with me yawning non-stop. I hate feeling so tired but is unable to sleep. I wanna sleep... Should I resort to taking coffee to stay awake???
Last news of the day is that I'm taking my piano exam on the 22nd August. It's extremely scary cos I'm like nowhere near halfway done for my preparation. I totally suck at all three pieces and my scales are crappy. My aural is the worst out of everything as well. Idk what to do if I really do have to enter the examination. I'll be really upset if the examiner have to tell me she hates me, even though I probably expect it alr, since I'm running out of time to practise.
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Chances are, you will not get to read this, but just for the fun of it anyw,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GOH MING XUAN!
Sigh, Jol, Yq and Mx turn one year older one after another. But people like me still got a long way to go...
I got loads of Math tutorials to catch up with and I got PW stuffs to hurry as well. Plus, there's Chem and Phy work that I cannot finish (Chem Idk how to do and Phy cos I got no graph paper). Gah, there's piano lessons on Thursday, which means I gotta rush home after PE again. Can't wait till Wednesday - SHOPPING WITH SOCCER GIRLS WOOT:D. At least smthg to look forward to after a pissed-off day (read here if you're my LJ friend).
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Tdy, I went Parkway for lunch and I shopped around a little. More of window shopped though. Cos I'm really cashless now and it upsets me to see pretty clothes and have no money to buy them. What made it worse was that I acty have the money to buy them but I'm supposed to return my mum money. Grrr.
Oh, I bought new hairbands. One red and one black. They come without teeth so I'll probably bring for trainings. So that when the ball hits the head, it doesn't hurt. I also bought a handphone pouch for my mum.
Schl tmr again. I'm totally dreading schl cos I haven't done any work over the weekend. I'm supposed to have done Math tutorials, this GP QA question, Physics Expt 2 Skill A, PW surveys and my EoM. Woah, now that I'm acty listing the work, it seems a lot. Worse thing is that, there's Math, GP, Physics and PW tmr. Sucks.
Gosh, check this out! And this too! SINGFEST 08! There's JASON MRAZ, Alicia Keys, New Found Glory, Stacie Orrico, P!ATD and more... But tickets are so expensive! I hope I'd suddenly get like 500S$ so I can buy two tickets, bring a friend along and still have enough leftover. GOSH.

Gah, got back my energy again. Cos I suddenly rmbred I had to print out the results and then I got a little less lethargic after printing and all alr. Okay, my results are below (I'll just copy the brief results cos the details are boring).
Strategic People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues.
Woo People who are especially talented in the Woo theme love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. They derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.
Communication People who are especially talented in the Communication theme generally find it easy to put their thoughts into words. They are good conversationalists and presenters.
Adaptability People who are especially talented in the Adaptability theme prefer to "go with the flow". They tend to be "now" people who take things as they come and discover the future one day at a time.
Maximizer People who are especially talented in the Maximizer theme focus on strengths as a way to stimulate personal and group excellence. They seek to transform something strong into something superb.
If I rmbr correctly, the teacher said that this test thing costs like 28S$! So expensive for so many questions that got me really sleepy. Crappy! So hopefully the test is good and accurate...
Today I had to go church alone (dad didn't have time to fetch me). Su Hui didn't come for Youth Alpha and Chelsea and her couldn't stay for big grp activity after service. But nvm, hope to see them next week lol! I miss Nicholas, Hong Jun and the rest! Very long never see them and I miss them!! Can't wait to see them again (maybe next year student camp LOL!)
After church went out to Eighteens Chef to dine with family. Ate seafood aglio oglio. I rmbr having their baby lobster aglio oglio or smthg the previous time I went and it was pretty good. And I tried Frozen Black (root bear + chocolate ice cream + fudge) today. Saw Abner, Chin Hee, Yan Bing, Xiu Xia and Pei Wen jie there too.
Visited grandma at Alexandra Hosp after that. It was pretty sad to see her, old and small on the bed and looking really weak and all. My dad says she's gonna pass away soon cos of some reasons etc. Saw the nurse feeding her and we left soon after.
Okay, I'm tired now again. Today's Saturday so I'm gonna go sleep early and wake up late tmr yay!
Blessed be.

Woah, I was doing Strengths Quest. It's like this super long test. I did it very fast, like ten minutes or so. But I was yawning like crazy in the midst of the test. Initially I wasn't tired. But somehow the more I read the more tired I get. Until I teared like mad.
I need to go sleep now otherwise I'd be typing crap that I may not even understand. Will update tmr about my results and maybe about today.
I'll make everything alright
Bought this from Zi Ying's friend (Zhao Peng or however it's spelt). He told her, who told me, that it's for an outreach or something. We were like "Other people outreach sell badges, we outreach go beach cleanup." Like wth! Anyw, after that she found out it's fake and all. Not sure though.
The badge is really cute. I think badges with funny taglines are cute. Zi Ying bought one that says NERD. Her friend, Yuan Ting, had one that says "I <3 SCHOOL (holidays)". And the badges are priced at a dollar each only!
My badge is special! Cos if I wear it, I can only be next to Zi Ying or blur Yi Rong:D
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
This is my new cup! I think it looks really cute but only problem is that I've been used to a transparent see through cup so Idk how to make nice ribena with this one lol.
This is my road run certificate, which should have already been handed up during PAE. I remember seeing the announcement at the Sports Complex so I told Gorden to collect. But I think I forgot all about it so I didn't hand up in the end. All the while I thought I'd have to run another time next year for it to be recorded since I forgot to hand up. But no! Fortunately for me, PAE08/08 didn't hand up too. Hence, now I can hand up ha ha! Supposed to pass Candy ytd but I no time to find so tdy I found it! Happy happy! I found it along with my number tag that day lol. I still remember running with Hui Xian, Min Hui and Shi Min (I think) lol!
PAE times were fun. I was in a great class with a great bunch of classmates and a lot of other friends who left during JAE. Now, it's still fun I guess, just without the great class, but I still have a great bunch of friends in class so yay! Plus a great PDP with fun people inside!:D Life is still relatively good I guess. At least I'm not somewhere in SAJC, mourning and whining every morning and dragging my heavy body out of bed so early to go school and crossing the bridge and ending up late every morning for assembly.
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Tdy I found out that there's a country called Intercourse lol.
Tdy is a long and boring day. I hate Thursdays. Cos of the lack of breaks, the fact that there's double Econs and double Chem (practical) and there's group PE in the late afternoon. Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad tdy.
Jian Yu told us abt Chong Hai during morning assembly. It was super hilarious the way he put thgs. I think he's the only nicest PRC scholar I acty know and talk to (along with Li Fei, who's my PW member). The rest are not like him at all lol.
Econs teacher wasn't around (got some NIE grad thg) so we were left to fend for ourselves, attempting to finish the stupid case study on passenger transport. Anyw, it was a difficult case study (I think) and hence half the time, we were playing. I played Crazy Taxi and Yi Rong was playing her Burnout! She was so crazy cos she kept playing till her PSP was all heated up. I think Ruby and Wan Ning started playing later as well. So Econs was pretty slack plus, it was double period to do case study, listen music, play games ETC. I think I'm getting better at Crazy Taxi!! LOL.
Double Chem was funny! There was no practical today so we went to CR301 to study Skill A. Then the relief teacher (who's the scouts ventures guy, and mind you he's 21 years old even though he looks waayy older than that) asked us to work in grps of six. So the six of us were having a lot of fun laughing at nonsense and drawing stupid stuffs. Then whenever the teacher came over, he'd just play along with us, answering our stupid questions and somewhat chatting with us. And he kept suaning Zy! We laughed a lot, till Shi Min almost choked and our faces were like aching!
PE wasn't the worst. We did shuttle run, then shuttle hop, then sbj, then we did sit and reach. My s&r sucks!!!! And Idk how to train for it!!!!! Anyw, the teacher ic of us (Ms Ang or smthg) did the push-the-back thg for me and I was super scared lol. She did for Shi Min also (in front of everyone) and said she s&r like a guy ha ha!
Even GP tdy was okay! Probably cos we didn't do work - Ms Tan talked abt the results and stuffs, then we didn't have like essay to write or compres to do. She told us abt the grades after moderation. I think I'm getting E (or D) for GP. Cos my compre got like 15.5 even tho my essay was surprisingly better than usual (25). OH before GP I tried Burnout on Yr's PSP. It's faster compared to Crazy Taxi and I kept crashing like a noob. But I think it's quite exciting ha!
How I wish Thursdays will always be like that!! If only every Thursday Mr Chon's absent (or if Mrs Than comes back it'll be okay too), PE's fun and GP's not boring, I wouldn't dread Thursday every week.
Blessed be.

Ah, Although a day later (cos it's past midnight alr), I'm doing this anyway.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEE YING QIAN! :D Once again, you turn older before I do hahaha. Yup, hope to see you soon too! Hope you had a great birthday and hope I was one of the first few to wish you ytd! :)
Blessed be.

I missed out smthg in my entry. This teacher/GO person scolded me today for throwing rubbish into the dustbin stationed outside the GO. I was walking to the TA gate there, with a hell lot of rubbish piling up in my hands cos I volunteered to help throw some rubbish for the booth. Anyway, I was walking towards that area (since it's on the way and it's nearer to where I was at) and I saw this dude. Sort of greeted him by bowing a little.
AND HE STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS TO ASK ME TO DETOUR TO THE CANTEEN TO THROW THE MOUNTAIN PILE OF RUBBISH IN MY HANDS. WHALAU EH. I was almost cursing already cos it was firstly pretty far away (I was just several meters away from GO dustbin alr) to go canteen and secondly it was a lot of junk I was holding. Imagine the trouble and embarrassment.
Besides being toilet deficient, the school is also dustbin deficient. I mean seriously! What's the point of positioning two dustbins at the GO area, within less than five meters apart, when the next nearest dustbin is in the canteen area! The reason the teacher/GO person gave me was that the rubbish will attract ants! Come on! The dustbin should technically be cleared at the end of every day, no?
Okay, that was enough ranting about the dude from GO. Was just angry cos it was pretty embarrassing to be carrying a hell lot of rubbish from one place to another. But I think the school should have a few more dustbins, which are relatively near to each other but not too near. It doesn't cost much to get a dustbin, does it?
Initially wanted to blog about dialog session and the suggestions ETC but I told Trudy every single thg that happened alr so I'm quite lazy to retype everything and I think some of the things were funny enough for me to remember and since no one hardly reads this no point blogging it down. So yup, gotta go pack bag and sleep soon!
Blessed be.

School ended at around three plus today, and I had to wait till five plus. So after the dialog session, after the rest of them went home, Wan Ning went climbing and Yi Rong went for badminton mtg thg, I was left alone! Hence, I decided to help out at the TOOP Yunnan booth with Glenn and Samuel.
Staying around after school is pretty fun cos you get to see people around. I saw Wee Peng and friend ogling at some hot guy on the friend's computer when I was chatting with Camelia. Ended up looking at the guy and his girlf with them lol. Oh Cam told me about the Chinese oral question! Super difficult! They asked (IN MANDARIN MIND YOU) about why people refuse scholarships or smthg along this line. Horrible. And that's not the worst, I heard yesterday's question was about F1. I mean, it's okay, but F1 and talking about F1 in MANDARIN?! I mean seriously, I don't even know what's F1 in mandarin! (Is it like just sai che or something??)
After that I was just plain chatting with Glenn and his friend (who takes computing lol). Until I realized Samuel plays the piano exceptionally well. So I went over and listen to him play. Gosh, he's actually gonna take his diploma this year! I feel so noobshit): People can take his grade 8 during O levels period, I CAN DO THE SAME DURING PROMOS PERIOD!!!! (Right...lol) Okay, anyway, he's perfect pitch as well. How cool is that man?
Went Bugis after that for dinner. Supposed to go find the slogan tees shop but I have no idea where's that place and it was crowded at that time. Decided to go on Sunday (or if possible, anytime before that) since it's not urgent already. And since I'm blogging about this, I shall do a little advertisement.
We're (probably) selling slogan tees for fundraising for the TOOP Yunnan! Tentatively priced at 9.90S$ for female tees and 12.90S$ for male tees! :D
TRUDY TOH IS SO NICE COS SHE DEDICATED AN ENTRY ON HER BLOG TO ME BUT HA HA TO YOU (whoever you may be), YOU CANNOT READ THIS COS IT'S DEDICATED TO ME LMAO... THIS IS JUST TO SAY THANK YOU TO NOOBTOH (sounds familiar someone said this before I forgot who lol) AND THAT SHE IS THE BESTEST SOCCER PARTNER + INVESTIGATION PARTNER + STALKER PARTNER + COMPLAIN PARTNER + GOOD FRIEND, ALL ROLLED INTO ONE. Other people may be one, two or three of those. But no one can be all into one but her! I sound gayshit but no choice lollllll. Okay Trudy, don't have to care about the gross thing that's happening cos later your hair will drop and you will become bald, just left her think about all this nonsense and let her become bald alone. :D (Fine, I know no link but nvm lol)
Blessed be.

HAPPY YOUTH DAY.
I FEEL PATHETIC. TODAY IS A SCHOOL HOLIDAY AND I'M AT HOME. I NEED A LIFE.
Blessed be.

Okay, I'm blogging again lol. Spiderman was on Channel 5 just now. I watched the last part and was reminded of the good old days in GB.
Ah the good old days... Xiu Hui drew those when we were having fun cleaning up the store once. I think it was in Sec 3. Gosh it's been two years alrdy!
Blessed be.
I'll make everything alright
Chelsea, Su Hui, Ka Hwee and friend Mavis went for cell ytd and hopefully we'll see more of them in future. Youth Alpha ytd was great cos there were more ppl than usual. Being a discussion leader wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be. Of course, it was far more horrifying than being a BS leader during student camp. But it sort of turned out quite okay anyw.
Sometimes fate just can't stop meddling...
I just finished reading Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern. Read her If You Could See Me Now just last week. Both books are really good. But Where Rainbows End is exceptionally excellent. Especially since my mood's been down in the pits since ytd. The book's really good. It's about this two childhood best friends who've known each other since forever. And deep down, they're actually in love with each other (I think). But they just don't realize it and end up with other partners and hurting themselves. The story seem to be in the point of view of Rosie and it's really sad to see that she first lost all the opportunity to be with Alex when Alex couldn't turn up for some prom and she ended up pregnant with another person's child. Then her life got all downhill from there. Alex was always there for her and vice versa but somehow they just didn't know they're meant for each other. Life just keep making a fool out of them. Every time they almost get together, something pops up and spoils everything.
There's something about such books that make me cry easily. Plus, I was really emo reading it so I probably teared 1234567890 times when I was in the middle of Part One. I just hate it that they should be together but they're not. And when they both know they should be together, they didn't know the other person felt the same way. And if some things in their life didn't happen the way it did, the ending would probably be different. Reminds me of the real world, if we walk a step different, we'd probably not end up where we are now. We may be happier but we will never know for sure.
There's something in the book that's bugging me though. Rosie's parents write her postcards when they were traveling around the world and they greeted her with the language where they were at. So why did Singapore come with "Ei je"? China was "Ni hao" (duh) and there were "Bonjour" from France and etc. BUT "EI JE"?? What does that mean anyway?! I've been living here all my life but however I pronounce "Ei je" it still doesn't make any sense. Someone enlighten me please. (Although Trudy would probably be the only one reading this lol. So you can be that someone, Trudy.)
Blessed be.
Rosie: Alex, for Christake! Not marrying Bethany isn't 'walking away'. As long as you're there for the child then you're not walking away. You don't have to marry her!
Alex: Look, I'm fed up with all this, Rosie, with you constantly checking up on me, me having to explain everything to you. You're not my wife or my mother, so give it a rest. Who says I have to run all my life decisions by you, anyway? I'm tired of you nagging at me and moaning at me about people I see and places I go. I can make decisions on my own, you no(spelling error on purpose cos Alex has a habit of spelling "know" as "no"). I'm a grown man.

Just now I was advertising my petition online and approached Victor online. After that we had a good chat about things like friends and school and stuffs. Great to see someone sharing some opinions I have and all. Really miss secondary school friends and life, but I guess we all have to move on. Good thing is that, some things really last forever though time has passed.
Pilot test today was okay. Okay cos it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad as well. Some things were expected but it still made some of us pissed all the same. Hui Xian's group had a wheelchair and i managed to get to sit on it and move around! It was quite fun but I think it'll be tiring to keep having to do that. Oh and I bought their orange shoelaces! But I left it in school so Hui Xian's gna pass back to me next wk. Didn't take pictures cos our group didn't really require them for this.
Training was fun. Initially wasn't really looking forward to training cos I was really tired after a long day yesterday plus today. I dreaded the pilot test, which made me dread school today. But in the end, training was really fun! Weather was amazingly good, not sunny or anything. We learnt some ball techniques and did the trap ball trick. The one Trudy looked really silly when she tried to do it ha ha! Walked to bubble tea with Wee Peng after training and had a chat with her about things. She's really good to talk to and it's nice listening to her too ha ha!
As much as training may be fun, my legs hurt. Firstly, because my thighs were aching so it hurts whenever I had to exert strength on my thighs (meaning when I run, trap ball, bend down ETC). Luckily Monday is a holiday, which means one more day of rest for the ache to go away. Plus, when I was changing out of the boots, I realized my ankle had this bruise thing that was hurting badly. It felt like a scratch of some sort. Just now when I bathed the water ran down and hurt the thing like crazy. After that I realized it's some kind of abrasion/scratch/bruise thing. No blood no nothing, just painful and feels like some sharp thing scratched it.
Tomorrow gotta wake up early for Youth Alpha. Gosh, I'm so gonna wake up without feeling my legs.
Blessed be.

Tomorrow is Pilot Test Day:(. So not looking forward to it cos it's like we're still unsure of what to do and it's all very last minute and stuff.
Today I made this petition online for PW - Link here. It's to see how supportive people are of the oil drum and hopefully the teacher will let the thing be implemented. It's not the entire part of our project. It's just a part of it, but still it's good to have it to be successful I guess.
Today Yi Rong and Ruby didn't go school! Irritating people! Cos the whole day was really boring and boring and BORING! Double Econs was boring, GP wasn't that bad cos Wan Ning, Zi Ying, Shi Min and I missed half of the entire lesson. We went to the changed venue without knowing that Ms Tan changed venue again. Oh well, it was really dry today, cos she was just going through definitions and it was boring as usual.
PE was slack! Not like what Trudy made it out to be at all (phew)! After that I had to rush home for piano lesson. As I was walking out with Austin, I saw 31 and was too far away so I didn't run despite Austin asking me to do so. Then I decided to check Iris whether I should take 31, 16 or 197. Iris told me 31 was arriving. I thought it was lagging and that referred to the bus I missed. But noooo! In less than a minute's time, 31 came again! Happy happy! Iris saved my life once again HA HA HA HA!
Piano lesson wasn't that bad. After one month of no lessons, my standard kinda dropped, but I did pretty okay for this particular piece (kinda impressed myself a little too). Gotta start practising more already. Cos I'm taking my exams during September and Promos' during September too. Sigh, and my teacher says there's no way I can back out of the exams now. SIGH!
After pilot test tomorrow there's training! Hope it doesn't kill me cos it's been forever since we last trained. Plus, today the hopping thing during PE kinda strained my ankle again. I hate my weak ankle. And there's this sharp pain at my left lower shin and Idk why! Irritating...
Blessed be.

Yay, new layout so I got mood to blog here again lol!!
Iris is good.It is the acronym for Intelligent Route Information System and it offers bus arrival time estimation on a real time basis.
Iris is my life savior today.
As today is late Wednesday, my dad cannot send me to school so I gotta take bus myself. I woke up at seven and washed up and rushed and left my house for the bus stop. It was almost seven thirty and even though the bus stop is a block away, I was afraid I'd miss it, so while walking, I iris-ed the bus arriving time. Iris told me 31 was arriving and hence I ran towards the bus stop.
Iris is good cos immediately after I reached the bus stop, I saw the bus approaching. And so, I didn't have to rush across the overhead bridge and all and could take my time and stroll into the college.
On my way home today after school, I went to the seven eleven downstairs to buy something before heading home. I saw something that kinda bugged me. I saw this group of secondary school students and I presume they're lower secondary because the boys were wearing shorts. There were a couple of girls in the group and I saw one of them smoking. I went into seven eleven and two girls came in after me. They were deciding what to buy and one girl was suggesting beer. I can't figure out why this was bugging me. It's not just cos it's wrong and illegal. And I know it's getting more and more common for students to be involved in such stuffs. But it's still irritating me. Grr.
Ruby messaged me just now whether I'm skipping school tomorrow. I'm still considering. It's worth it cos there's double Econs, GP, double Chem and PE. Plus, I end at four forty. And there's no Physics tomorrow so we won't really need to explain to Mrs Toh or anything. But we're going through the chem JCT tomorrow! Gah! I'll ask Yi Rong and we'll see...
[edit]
Oh my new Econs teacher is Mr Chon. He relieved us before and I think he wasn't that good. Maybe he's okay but we'll just wait and see. One thing's for sure, Mrs Than is still better lol.[/edit]
Blessed be.
