adios.

Melissa: LOL WHAT’S WITH THE CAPS! haha. sorry! i had training the entire day yesterday and was too exhausted to put up the pics last night.

Dry Monsoon.

2009-01-08T21:53:00.001+08:00

Yup it’s that time of year – loads of wind, loads of gusts and not much rain.

anyway first things first, i have cut my hair (it was expensive kay! 36 bucks, but it’s a branded hair cut ;D ) did it when jamie permed her hair. i don’t have pictures so you’ll see it when you see me. then again it looks no different from how i used to have my hair so i guess you needn’t bother then.

secondly i went blading today at east coast park in the glorious gusty wind. was fantabulous to blade so far again.

thirdly, i found this and if you feel like singing you can have a duet with him. it’s Lucky by jason mraz and colbie caillet. love singing the duet.

(btw you gotta sing colbie caillet’s part. if you wanna know what the song sounds like: Lucky. oh and Jason Mraz is hot! :D)

and check out that guys other covers. he’s got a good voice!

Happy thursday guys. and for the third week in a row i’ve managed to miss Don’t Forget the Lyrics...

P.S. Rachel is trying not to freak and go balistic that results are out on the coming monday. argh!

sherissa: really? cool! haha. how come yours got so much problem? mine’s very fine lol.

joanie: thanks loads! my mum thinks it’s a really good place to go! (:

janice: haha it does look really real from a far. haha

2008-12-30T20:55:00.001+08:00

argh. but, i can officially say that

I HAVE A NICE CLEAN

ROOM!

yeah. finally. i put off cleaning my room for ages so i’m rather pleased i’ve got it over and done with. :D

2009 is round the corner and all the shops seem to gladly be rid of christmas deco and have alreadly hastily put up chinese new year stuff. chinese new year music and all. eugh.

but i’m still have the Christmas feeling! :D it is very truly the BEST and GREATEST time of year. Best day ever, beats even my birthday.

haha and i still have christmas songs stuck in my head. and i won’t be surprised if i feel like singing them all year round cos they’re one of the best bits of christmas.

this year christmas was quite a quiet affair for me, we didn’t really have friends over or go out much. we just stayed home, had goood amazing christmas dinners and, well, just sang. (: my family makes a pretty good choir :D haha. and that was the best part – not the presents but the time we spent as a family, singing carols, songs, hymns and celebrating the most wonderful day and God’s greatest gift to mankind. the birth of Jesus Christ. thats what my christmas is about.

Christmas is Love.

still, 2009 COMETH! ahhhh.

i can’t believe it but my lil brother Andrew is starting school!!! he’s going to be one of those little primary ones running around the school on friday. haha. can’t believe it.

Jingle Bells.

2008-12-24T15:00:00.001+08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Crashing through the snow
In a pair of broken skis
O'er the hills we go
banging into trees
the snow is turing red
i think i’m almost dead
and now i’m in the hospital
with ~~stickers~~ stitches on my head

Oh, jingle bells, your foot smells
santa laid an egg...
Oh, nevermind.

Christmas is my favourite time of year not because i get stuff (though seriously i usually never get anything :P) but because i get to GIVE stuff. wow and this year i’ve spent so so much...argh

Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Thanksgiving you guys!

enjoy your turkey/ham/beef/whatever :D

P.S. Santa, i know exactly what you can get me:

*sings* All i want for christmas is youuuuuu!

parmy: yeah it is! everywhere is just full of plants lol!

cyn: yeah bali is really really nice! great place for holiday!

Pei En: haha thanks! yeah Bali’s a very nice place for holiday

janice: yeah the dance costumes were abit scary haha. twilight was okay i guess but maybe cos we read the book before so it took out all the excitement :P

OH YA! a little help but why am i locked out of the 4A blog??? :S

Counting down to Christmas.

2008-12-21T12:17:00.001+08:00

Yes, the countdown has began. Officially 4 days more folks!

i’ve just come back from Bali (on friday) so this post is gonna take a while to read cos i’m gonna chuck loads of photos. Bali’s awesome!

we stayed here… ^

got lovely drinks as we checked in.

my mum’s room

it had an amazing garden in front! and that was the door

so you come out and you’re greeted with flora and fauna ;D

even the bathroom was beautiful!

part of the garden in the bathroom!

the restaurant overlooked the river/stream

and had brill food xD

we went to quite a few arts stuff, well Bali is quite well known for their arts (: my mum had batik done on her shirt!

the batik gallery. my dad bought a nice big one

Bali painting. such skilled artists...

wood carving. you must be terribly skilled and patient to do wood carving. i was looking around their gallery and wow some of the statues have such intricate designs that it must have taken them ages and so much skill to carve! i mean, give me a block of wood to go carve i’d probably make a big mess! haha

and one of the most beautiful parts of Bali must be the rice fields..

we visited quite a few temples.

elephant cave temple

the temple on the crater lake. meaning it’s at the lake which is high up in the mountains! was such a beautiful place

see! it’s the picture on their 50000 note! haha.

and we visited the largest and most grand temple in bali. also up in the mountains! it’s known as the ‘mother’ of all the temples in Bali.

we also watched a couple of performances, like the Barong dance ^

haha thats the barong

the food and the restaurants were amazing as well! yeah we had loads of milkshakes as you can see ;D

view from the lunch restaurant on the first day. it was like on the mountain and it overlooked the valley

view from the lunch restaurant on the second day and believe me it was absolutely gorgeous! i repeat, i had THAT view in my face as i had lunch! and it was like on the ridge in the mountains too! so that mountain, actually it was a volcano, was on another mountain and there’s also a lake at the foot of it!

dinners were pretty good as well cos nearly every restarant we went to had performances in it (:

Bums away!!! xD

yup that was Bali. loads of arts, culture and beautiful places like in the mountains. not just beach and surf eh?

also on Friday i caught Twilight with Jamie and Cynthia.

I really enjoyed it, it was better than i had expected (: and i’d say it’s quite a job well done. though there were some parts missing here and there and the story was slightly altered i still think it wasn’t so bad and agree with what Stefanie Meyers said: ‘it’s impossible to take such a long book and make it a movie without cutting some parts’ or something along those lines. and most of the script is exactly what is said in the book too so yeah i’d say the movie was pretty good.

and then there’s such a hullabaloo about Edward and how Rob Pattinson’s not good enough to be Edward and blah blah blah,all that rubbish. seriously i’m quite sick of everyone whining about this. i for one, think he did quite a good job with edward, especially when edward is a pretty hard character to protray. of course there were a few flaws about him and there are some ways he can improve but still i acknowledge his effort and i feel he played edward pretty well. so thumbs up for Rob i say.

also everyone keeps saying he’s not good looking enough to be edward. i mean, come on. Edward in the book isn’t even a human so his beauty would be inhumanly so how on earth can a human match up to what everyone expects of edward? and also what Stefanie Meyers said too : ‘it’s not like we can find real vampires to play them anyway’. besides everyone imagined edward differently and the movie can’t possibly portray edward how every single person imagined him to be. so these comments about edward (in the movie) not being good looking enough is very subjective. it’s kinda like if edward in the movie isn’t what some people imagined him to be then too bad. everyone shouldn’t go slagging him off like that. and people should keep their nasty comments to themselves.

there done ranting. honestly it’s not directed at anyone in particular but it’s how i feel generally towards this big ‘problem’ everyone seems to have and i have been pretty annoyed by it for ages.

and to all those who fear that the movie would change their perspective of the book or whatever, i doubt it’ll really cos believe it or not i re-read twilight yesterday! haha. and i read it the same as before. nothing really changed. then again it could be just me – i’m not so particular about the looks of things and people when i read.

erm so enjoy your sunday! and don’t forget Christmas is coming!! :D

jinyi: yeah it’s a lovely touching song (: (:

cyn: aww thanks (: i did. heh

huizhi: yeah! Chirstmas!!!! woohoo!!

Twelve sleeps more!

2008-12-13T15:40:00.001+08:00

TOoooooo...

CHRISTMAS!

oh yeahhh... dunno why but i felt i needed to point that out. everyone getting into the festive mood ay? i sure am haha. with the christmas tree up and all the wonderful christmas songs. heh. these days i can’t help but burst into song everytime i hear a christmas carol being played in the shops. :D

Christmas is definately the Greatest Time of Year!

one of my favourite christmas songs, yeah just one of them cos there are so so many amazing songs. haha when i first heard this i was literally sobbing through the entire song. really, it had me pouring with tears. it’s just so so touching... enjoy:

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing 'round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great

I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about

Christmas Shoes – Newsong.

stay happy till Christmas!! :D

oh and P.S. i’ll be in Bali from 15th to 19th.

Iat: haha thats not bad :P i got only 6/20 haha.

tiffany: awww thanks :D well, it’s very true i feel! :D

jamie: JAMIE!!! mmmmm me misses you loads too!! eh you’re in taiwan? not US still? hehe. thanks, though i wouldn’t see myself as miss universe. and i meant what i said. (: speaking of miss universe, there’s Miss World 2008 tonight!

janice: lol i got 6/20. i think thats worse :P nahh don’t worry i’m sure we’re all pretty bored as well! you’re not alone

Quiz thingy :P

2008-12-11T14:44:00.001+08:00

heh i think i got tagged by tiffany to do this (or maybe she meant another rachel) but just saw it and, yes you guessed it!, i’m a little bored so yeah...here goes...

RULE #1 :People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

RULE #2 :Tag 5 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by continue this game by sending it to other people.

1. Do you have secrets?
Of course (:
2. Would you fall in love with a boy younger than you?
perhaps if he’s the ‘right’ one. anyway my mum says when we’re all grown up age doesn’t really matter – it all levels out. maybe the younger guy could be more mature than an older guy so i guess it won’t really matter. so i don’t really mind.
3. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love? as long as i need to i suppose.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
save it, tour europe, help others with it...possibilities are endless :P
5. Will you fall in love with your best friend?
funnily i’ve always pictured myself as a person who would fall in love with her best friend. if it’s a guy then yeah, why not?
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
both. it’s a blessing to be loved and a blessing to have someone to love.
7. List out 5 favourite things that you like and 3 things of yourself
5 things: family, amazing friends, good times, MUSIC! and art.

3 things about me: erm, i’m cheerful, content and cool tempered. (sorry about the weird spacing haha. my Live Writer is acting up again)
8. Is there anything that has made you extremely happy?
last day of O levels. DEFFO! also there wss prom after that.
9. What makes you sad?
inconsiderate-ness of people around the world.
10. How would you see yourself in 10 years time?
dunno (: come what may. whatever i’ll be doing i’ll be happy doing it.
11. Who are currently the most important people to you?
My family and friends.
12. What is being regarded as the most important thing in your life?(currently)
family, friends, making the world a better place and being content.
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
married but poor. money doesn’t matter to me because i see absolutely no point in having money when i have no one to love and share my joys with.
15. What is your favourite colour?
seriously i have no idea haha. i have colour ‘mood’ swings.
16. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, and both of them do the same, who would you pick?
that’s one situation i’d avoid at all costs. but i’d say the one i’m closer to.
17. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
yes. i think if everyone didn’t hold grudges then the world would be a better place. besides if i’ve forgiven that person then there’s really no reason to remember is there?
18. How do you say goodbye to something you don't want to let go ?
a tearful goodbye?
19. If there is a choice between lover and friends,which will you choose?
hard to say cos it depends on which friends and that current situation
20. Will you fall in love soon?
doubt it really.
Tagged (Friends to do)
most people have either done it or have been tagged to do it. so, I TAG ANYONE WHO RUNS BY HERE and would like to do it! hehe.

and i didn’t really change any questions.

I’ve run out of title ideas…

2008-12-11T12:56:00.001+08:00

because i’ve been bored,

i’ve read: Boring things (haven’t really tried anything but it was fun to read)

i found this hilarious to try out (if you are bored) : be annoying.

i’ve tried this: Candy! and got it all wrong. really i don’t eat chocolate so much.

me and my sister complained about people: You complain!

i’ve been filling this place with not so good art: Nice?

i’ve been here: Boring website

i’ve been doing the silly CCA drive stuff for sailing (yes, ask me why i’m still doing it) and trying to clean my room!

there, some of what i did this week at home.

so i guess if you’re bored you can try out these stuff (:

ohmygosh i’ve realised that every recent post i’ve made so far has said in some way or another that i’m bored. sigh. BAD BAD BAD... :|

sherissa: yeah i did (: now time to go out with you!! hehe

my sister: there’s still no link!

cyn: haha we should have a BORED club lol!

Cold feet.

2008-12-08T19:17:00.001+08:00

Brrrr. FREEEEEZing feet more like it. it’s been raining all day and i’ve been plodding around Orchard.

Seriously, with the number of people there today you’d assume it’s a weekend! wow it’s like jam packed with people all over the streets and in the malls. and it’s monday.

didn’t really do much, besides wandering around, trying not to slip and fall. what really need now is a good pair of slippers! sheeesh. it was slippereeeeey!

i guess even though i didn’t do much it was nice to get out, to see Estee again(: better than just bumming around the house all day, doing things here and there, yet never actually ‘done’ anything.

i confess, i’m making this blog more and more boring by day. i’m just talking about all this raining-orchard-lazy nonsense so i can reply tags.

i promise i’ll have something better, something more intelligent and interesting to say next time (:

hui zhi: well better late than never! at least you got some on the way(: (:

janice: haha really you’re not the only one. lol. i’ve been pretty bored and lazy the past few days (:

cyn: oh yeah? lol you said you go out everyday! haha that’s not boring (:

jin yi: haha at the mo not really lol(: i’m looking for nice new books myself :P eh carom is a sort of game like pool where you use a small chip to hit others into holes.if that makes sense lol! i’m crap at explaining things haha.

back from the ever-awesome sailing camp! okay actually i’ve been back since saturday but couldn’t be bothered to blog :P

actually, to be honest, i was slightly disappointed this year. but whatever, it was fabulous nonetheless. (:

dayone:

we went to ecp to play games. appaerently the OM didn’t allow us to have water bombs in school...

played wacko, again

then we played this cute catching game

... which shariff won. lol!

played volleyball

then we had this game that included yucky goo made from flour eggs and seawater, yeaughh,

blindfolds,

and passing the goo over your heads.

then, sunshine got it all over him. haha!

haha he ended up covered in eggs and flour.

then we walked to katong park, after lunch at kfc, to play!

yeah we played at the playground a while. lol. sailors are young at heart.

nahh we went there for lasertag! which is awesome fun by the way

yeah it’s a gun game (: there’s shariff

one of the two teams: Anti-Khairul

and Anti-Samsul

sailors love lasertag!

took bus back to school, had dinner, played volleyball and netball in the basketball court. then we had ‘facilitation’

in which we had to draw on big blownup balls. something for newyear i think. exactly what i cant seem to remember but i know they’re gonna release these balls at marina? on new years day. we were supposed to write new year wishes on it.

shi de and his cute cartoon

hello there vivian

marcus needs to pump his more.

we also did like planning for cca recruitment and cliche stuff.

it’s still there! okay, the picture sucks but it’s still there (u can see it faintly)

dayTWO:

we went for this forest adventure at bedok reservior. my cam ran out of battery so uh, no pictures. the teachers took pictures though, i’ll get from them. haha. we also got pictures of the teachers doing it! which was cool (:

didn’t do much on the second day really, after coming back from the fun forest adventure thingy. all we did was eat lunch, and play netball/capt.’s ball. and had some scavanger hunt.

at night we watched this interesting old movie called 'Interview with a Vampire. quite uh, weird i’d say, considering that i’ve just read twilight and all. haha. the only thing i found interesting, and funny, is that it had brad pitt, tom cruise, antonio banderas and kristen dunst as vampires. talk about star studded man! haha and brad pitt and antonio banderas make HILARIOUS vampires. haha! tom cruise is a pretty good looking vampire to be honest (: and kristen dunst was pretty. but other than that i didn’t really understand the movie. rather i was too tired to be bothered.

then we went for night walk. which was..uh… okay.

dayTHREE:

woke up, breakfast, then onto the bus to go rockclimbing at the Aljunid islamic school? near bugis. cool man they have a rockwall in their hall.

haha she was belaying louis i think.

our very nice instructor ~~pulling nicholas pants~~ holding nicholas up.

louis looks like a frog here xD

the instructor got sharmane to climb this wall...

..and do that! haha. sexy sharmane eh..

one thing we all know, sailors LOVE rockclimbing (: (:

that’s camp for you.

cyn: thanks! hehe. i did!

iat: (: (:

jamie: yes we gotta go again!!!

parmy: hey there parmy! yeah my prom was quite posh. and it wasn’t only in a restaurant. it was at a hotel! (:

Sweet Sixteen – Hilary Duff

Today I'm gonna ride away
And feel the sun throughout my hair
Finally free to be who I wanna be
Who that is I don't really care
'Cuz I've got friends who love me
Blue skies are above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

Sweet sixteen
Gonna spread my wings
Sweet sixteen
It's my chance to shine
Sweet sixteen
Discovering
Sweet sixteen
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen

Drivin' down to the club where we go to dance
Radio is blastin' and the top is down
There ain't nothin' in my way
'Cept the traffic of L.A.
And I've got friends who love me
Bright stars shine above me
My blonde hair is everywhere

Mamma loves me and a sister who shows me, and a daddy's always there

I wanna know what it feels like
I need to see it from the inside
I can taste a bit of what I will find
So much more to life
Sweet sixteen

We are done

2008-11-13T10:13:00.001+08:00

ORDINARY

LEVELS

ARE

OFFICIALLY

O-V-E-R!

and there’s prom later. today is so going to be the most awesome-est day ‘like everrr’ !

i’m just soooo estatic elated and euphoric.

The Story of Stuff.

2008-11-11T17:20:00.001+08:00

happened to come across this while looking for that Grocery Store Wars vid. it’s quite scary not only because there’s an incredible amount of truth in the message they are trying to put across but also because they are bringing up a very real issue, one that is happening, one that we all fail to see. though the series is based on happenings in America, i feel it’s applicable to all of us, the things we do, the things that will happen, it’s all the same.

enjoy (it’s in parts) :

i think it all comes down to greed really, Greed and money. We want everything for ourselves, do everything just such that it will benefit us, sometimes at the expense of others. Corperations want money, so what do they do? everything stated in the video from cheap tainted goods to scheming ways to make people buy things. then we, the people, have become puppets of their schemes, becoming equally greedy ourselves nowadays, always wanting new things, buying stuff like shoes and bags even when we have perfectly good ones lying around. and why? just so we can have better,nicer newer things than others. i admit, sometimes i’m one of those puppets.

this video(s) really hit me because it’s a really good message for all of us, for all of us to wake up, stop thinking of just ourselves, what we want, how much money we want to get what we want and start thinking about the consequences of some things we do, start thinking about how we affect the environment, the earth and everyone around us and how we may end up affecting ourselves.

that’s all i have to say.

Just a little more.

2008-11-11T16:14:00.001+08:00

just a little longer. just a little more to persevere. just a little more to study. just two more exams. just that. tah-han ahhh.

before anyone starts going “EWWW he looks ugly” i must agree, not that he looks ugly (he’s cute okay), but that they could have picked a better picture for his album cover, but whatever. doesn’t matter

what does is I got it! bought it yesterday and it’s only out in the USA today! that rocks. and i just wanna say, it’s AMAZING. yeah. it’s got a little pop in it - a little of those up-tempo songs, but with more soul and ballad-like songs – just how i like it. and ‘Angels’ , the cover of Robbie Williams, is the best thing ever, with the other songs coming very close behind. and all his songs have so much meaning that it, it just melted me clean away.

haha i sound like a reviewer (NOT!)

started to tidy my desk. i wonder why we sometimes say ‘pack (my) desk’ cos i didn’t do any ‘packing’ really. just tidying. how nice it looks eh? ^

because everything just ended up on the floor! haha. then i put it back on my desk and lo and behold, my desk...uh...kinda looks the same :S

check this out! called ‘Grocery STORE WARS’. it’s really cute, amazingly done and touches on environmental issues such as GM food and green revolution. i guess if you’re a Star Wars fan you’ll understand it more (and find how cute it is)

i love Star Wars and i thought this was super cute and super well done! haha.

love the characters: Cuke skywalker (luke skywalker), Obiwan Kenolli (Obiwan Kenobi), Princess Lettuce (Princess Leia), C3peanuts (C3PO), TofuD2 (R2D2), Ham Solo (Han Solo), Chewbacca (Chewbroccoli), Master Yogurt (Master Yoda) and Darth Tater (Darth Vader). pure genius.

C3peanuts, tofuD2 and Chewbroccoli made me crack up the most XD

May the FARM be with you!

catcha later alligator, i’m going to do chem.

alsing: yeah. haha

Oh PHAIL!

2008-11-09T12:48:00.001+08:00

my exams are mostly all fail. much like these fail:

backwards 'b' lmao

that's so useful man

...if you're happy and you know it CRAP your hands... FALLI -Falls About Laughing Like an Idiot

this one made me laugh loads. no idea why

ya know, this looks very much like somewhere in singapore...

yup they all did

one of my personal faves^

this one too^ LMAO

enjoy sunday! while i do physics MCQ...

P.S. Ohmygorsh is a week to my birthday. that's like crazily fast la. but good(: means Os are ENDING!

jinyi: thanks! NO i'm not that good a photographer la! haha. i only took 2 out of those 6 photos lol! and yeah haha! i got a cat model! lol she can go for project ~~runway~~ catwalk lol!

yingtai: YES me too!! can't wait. tomm!

???: okay...uh thanks! (:

(Couldn't think of a title)

2008-11-07T18:11:00.001+08:00

it's rest/slack/study/go out day. (:

the yucky blank days are here again. now that i'm somewhat a little free-er i'm so bored again! ah i hope that after Os it won't be this boring... nothing left to do. except study now.

yesterday jamie came over to study with me (: she stayed from 2 to 9! don't worry we didn't study that long. we, uh, did alot of stuff, includes doing bio, physics, playing xbox, eating popcorn, dinner, looking through year books ~~and laughing at how everyone looked so cute last time~~.heh. now that took that long (:

oh and you know what i found out? i bought the wrong bio and physics TYS! very clever i am... turns out i bought the june papers of pure bio and physics and i think they were the wrong syllabus. any idea who takes june papers? we reckon it's a normal acc. cos it was SO EASY! but we had quite abit of fun doing it. finished under 20min. if only our papers were like that. then we wouldn't have to study anymore.

hmmm...what else is there to say? nothing really.

i love this song, it's just oh-so-sweet :

give me more lovin then i've ever had.
make it all better when i'm feelin sad.
tell me that i'm special even when i know i'm not.
make me feel good when i hurt so bad.
barely gettin mad,

i love bein around you.

make me feel good when i hurt so bad.

im so glad that i found you.
i love bein around you.

Elation and election

2008-11-06T13:32:00.001+08:00

CHINESE IS OVER and WE ONLY GOT THREE MORE PAPERS LEFT!

and a BIG congrats to Barack Obama! the new President of the USA. Whoop!

okay i'm done shouting. :P

sorry about the appearance of my blog at the moment. heh. it's undergoing renovation. so don't get a fright when you happen to see images everywhere and stuff (:

--REVAMPING IN PROGRESS! --

this skin (this white one) will be temporary i guess - until i make a nicer newer one.

janice: yup! i lovee my cat =P

Iat: yeah we figured that out. haha. but actually it wasn't really hot cos we didn't turn on the tv.

cyn: yeah! low light conditions, muscles in the iris...blahblah... haha!

sherissa: he's primary 5 (:

It's ALMOST over.

2008-11-04T13:48:00.001+08:00

But it still isn't.

Chinese tomorrow. oh dear chinese. now i gotta dig into the gigantic mountain of books for my chinese stuff - haven't touched it in ages =S i should've dropped it. darn.

yeah mind me and my...uh..rambling randomness.

these few hectic weeks i've developed a new hobbie of sorts: stalking the cat with a camera! phew, hard work there - my cat hates the camera.

first she was under my desk...

then she went out the door,

and guess what i found under my mum's duvet?

then she went to sleep on my brothers desk - no apparent reason.

and from evening to night she suddenly had this sudden, strange attraction to the cable tv.

" i love cable tv....Meaoow"

-The worst is over, and the sky is clear.there's not a place on earth i'd rather be than here...

i'm gonna go chinese. tomorrow's gonna be epic fail.

see ya.

Iat: yeah! you know it's coming out on your birthday! lol.

daniel: yeah i know. just didn't have any oreos at that time... -__-

Trick or treat!

2008-10-31T21:08:00.001+08:00

Don't know about trick but it was a sure treat coming home from bio.

bio was generally quite okay to be honest. no big new topics like molecular genetics and stuff. just old topics that we've been doing over and over before so it was alright.

now we can take another big big breath and have some proper shut-eye.

*exhales deeply* only 2 more major papers to go, if you count chinese that is.

(: i really can't stop thinking about after the Great Os. so many things to do. so many things i want to do. and of course my Birthday! yeahhh. sweet sixteen baby here i come!

haha. i'm in such a relaxed mood right now. and i'm so wanting David Archuleta's album right now. it's sounding amazing.

gosh i'm so random.

Happy Halloween you guys! Toodles~

Iat: yeah. as does everyone. (: moderation time!

janice: yeah bio was just like prelim! most of the hard stuff didn't come out. physics is officiall the worst! lol

cyn: hehe (:

Mouth shut.

2008-10-30T18:19:00.001+08:00

Eeep. maths was bad. that's all i've got to say.

if you happen to squeeze out the time to come on the computer now (which by-the-way i'm wondering why i'm blogging right now), check out this cute song (destress much?) :

yeah, a pretty non-sense, funny song. then again, we're all going bonkers with studying.

argh. off to drown in bio again. i'm gonna have nightmares tonight with sebum, arthoslcerosis and arteriosclerosis, emphysema, systole, diastole and everything else all running a muck inside my head.

see you tomorrow, if i survive tonight.

Pitfall.

2008-10-29T17:12:00.001+08:00

Physics is officially FLUNKED, FAILED AND DOWN THE DRAIN. gosh i'm so sure that my physics is gonna be an epic PHAIL. gah.

today's paper was like absolute rubbish. i dunno if it was because we weren't taught some stuff or i was too lazy to actually study everything. whatever, i guess i've only got myself to blame. and just last friday i was saying that the Os weren't as bad as i thought. well, me and my big mouth. i'm like officially banned from saying such things ever again :S

if mr Wee ever finds out exactly how much i got he's gonna hang me upside down i tell you. yikes.

okay, stop panicking. no point crying over spilt milk my mum always says. all there's left to do now is work my bum off for bio - the last A i'll ever get.

i've just made myself a mountain to climb :| but i guess i deserve it.

janice: yeah... it was alot. and my studying physics was all in vain - i still failed today

cyn: cool right! it really felt very real! like when they put the plastic bag over "my head" it made me kinda tickle-ish lol!

The first break!

2008-10-24T20:26:00.001+08:00

Amaths, geography and English is...

NO MORE!

yes! today we are on day 5. so... eight more to go! yeah!

i'm am pretty darn happy today, i dare say. haha. ahh finally we get the hard-earned break that we all deserve. though it like only lasts for one day, i think it's better than none. i've never been so thankful for such a short rest before.

so far? i think it's been pretty okay really, not as bad a storm as i thought. yeah, me and my 'storms' again.

de-stress! try this: (and use STEREO headphones!)

it's pretty cool haha!

sigh, really can't wait until all these 'Os' are over. man, if i were so happy today just because we finished a week of papers i think when it's all all over on 13th november, i'm gonna go balistic! haha. i wonder how happy i'm gonna be.

oh! and i can't wait till sailing camp! the BEST camp in the entire school man! but, this year's not gonna be as great cos we're sleeping in school. NOooooo! i want my aircon dorms and comfy beds!!! *sobs* and we won't be able to stay up and run a muck or order pizza/macs in the middle of the night and stuff (AWwwwww!)...and with all the stuff people say about school at night *shudders* Nonetheless i can't wait! we're going rockclimbing, ice skating - i hope so! if not some lazer-gun thing! haha. oh yeah...

unless you plan on using today, whatever's left of today to study =| which isn't much by the way, ENJOY THE BREAK!

catch 'cha later.

joanie: thanks! i'm pretty chilled now =P yeah i don't wanna end up at the bottom of that bell! lol

Iat: yeah. moderation can save us...

Down goes another one.

2008-10-22T17:14:00.001+08:00

you know, i've been so stressed that i have actually managed to count the number of exams we have wrongly!?

i guess i shall leave my earlier posts as evidence but all along, since last week till now i have been thinking that we have 14 days of exams! and we only have 13! how insane is that man... (it is 13 right?)

so today, it's THREE down, TEN to go.

Eeeep. amaths. me donch wanna talk about it. ah well, as i always say: expect an F9 so that if you get like a C or B at least you won't be broken hearted.

Geography. yikes. looks like an cramming session is due.

toodleloos.

Iat: haha yeah. neither did i, i guess. lol and "get our A"?

English, english, english

2008-10-21T20:36:00.001+08:00

English has officially gone down the drain.

it wasn't as bad as i expected, well i expected the worst remember? but, doing well? nah. i am very confident and certain and i strongly believe that i am going to flunk my english. yes.

crappy english marks = crappy L1R5. sweet...

now amaths. Oh my gosh amaths. and i am already absolutely exhausted. oh die.

A little bit of today.

2008-10-20T19:09:00.001+08:00

ONE day down. oh just THIRTEEN more to go. that's all.

And for the very first time in my life, i am genuinely, extremely and absolutely terrified of the English paper tomorrow.

i wish i could say "hey, i actually not too bad in english." i always thought i could. but i was wrong, so wrong. Damn me for finding out today, the day before O level English.

i can't do chinese for absolute nuts, yet i still can't get english right, the language i speak day in day out. what have i got really?

i'm going to do what it takes, and prepare for the very worst.

ahhhhhhh.

Freak out.

2008-10-19T11:14:00.001+08:00

totally freaking out right now. i'm so so scared. it's chemistry tomorrow. oh help. i'm not prepapred, not prepared at all to take exams. i want reality to kick me. i want to stop dreaming. i want to start panicking. no, i have started panicking...

today feels like the horribly horrible calm before the storm, it feels like one of those regattas where we are on the shore just waiting to launch our boats into a storm, watching the dark sinister black clouds slowly inch their way towards us, feeling the soft gentle sea breeze blow at our faces. but we know all too well that the soft gentle breeze would soon erupt into a ferocious gale which will every so often threaten to blow us over, sending us crashing out of our boats and into the water as we sail slowly and streadily into the heart of the storm. i've been in all that before and it's was never a good feeling. but that's exactly how i feel like today.

tomorrow we enter the last lap, the final sprint to the finish. the finish that we've been working towards for these past 4 years. the final judgement.

the next 4 weeks are going to be hectic. tomorrow starts it all. it's either going to make me or break me. i'm either going to feel pround and satisfied with myself at the end or regret it, regret everything, regret not putting in everything i had and realising only after i'm done and through. i wish the latter will never come to be.

Everybody knows the end
When the curtain hits the floor
Everybody knows the end
Don't wanna get there wishing that you'd given more
It's not over, till it's over
So how do we begin?
When everybody knows the end

it's the final stretch. i'm going to give it my all.

on that final note, my dear friends, i wish you all the best of luck. May God bless you.

Oopsie.

2008-10-17T16:11:00.001+08:00

yeah. oops! as u can see i ~~blatenly~~ wrote yesterday as 16th of september and not october as it should be. ah,i just reflects how badly i want it to be still september.

the days are closing in. the big Os are coming. there, a straight forward sentence.

and i can't can't believe it. yesterday was one month to my birthday. today makes it 30 days from my birthday. AND I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT! normally i would've remembered the date. normally i remember the date of even 2 months before my birthday. but this morning i just got up and was like "oh my gosh yesterday was 16th of october"

i know others won't really know the significance of this date. but for me, being a late-in-the-year november kid, 16th of october is a big deal since i usually wait a gazillion months just for my birthday. and the thing is, this year i have no recollection of waiting at all for my brithday. i've been studying too much that time just flew right by. i think this year has been the only time ever that i am wishing my birthday did not come so fast.i bet that if my birthday was during the exams, i would have forgotten it completely.

ohh ohh! but i've at least got one thing off my mind. the prom dress worry that kept me up all night is no more! yes i've bought one. hurrah. now comes the buy-shoes-and-earings worry. hmmm.

goodluck studying!

janice: haha! yeah. thanks for pointing it out! (: lol i must've been dreaming or wishing that it was 16th of september. xD jia you too!!! now 3 days left! oh my...

It's work o'clock.

2008-10-16T12:20:00.001+08:00

well it better be, for me anyway. it had better be for the next 4 weeks i tell ya. gosh, i don't even know why i'm bothering to type this up. *warning: a very much complaining and rambling post.

it's like 352,800 seconds to chemistry paper 2. oops, we've lost a couple of seconds there... do you know how small that number suddenly seems? i mean, every time u can say "one thousand" we minus one off that number and believe me it's gonna decrease at an alarming super-fast speed. and by the time it hits zero, or zearro as mrs yap says, i don't know if i will be alive enough to be doing the actual paper.

argh. i'm getting so scared right now. and i still have to deal with all the other stuff like prom dresses :( oh why oh why oh why did they have to cram prom into our last paper. and why didn't i go shopping before....

i'm so doomed. as of now, 16th of september 12.15 pm, there's 351,900 seconds to go.

They tell me that only the strong survive
I don't know if we'll make it through the night
I guess I'll see you in the afterlife
They tell me that only the strong survive...

please let me be one of them...

okay, rant over. back to horribly long geography

tagbacks:

lol: yeah it's out! but they don't bring in to singapore - which sucks. i ordered mine online and had it shipped here. haha. yes i love dougie too (: btw, who are u? lol!!

S.O.S

2008-10-12T21:28:00.001+08:00

9 days more. no, that was yesterday. correction: make that 8 days more.

ohmygoodnessgracious.

It's like, ohmigosh.

2008-10-06T19:32:00.001+08:00

yeah. today was the Official First Day of the Last week of school. bleughh. and we've just passed the last monday EVER in TK.

i seriously dread this week ending way more than i want it to end. don't even get me started on how much i'll miss 4A and classes and TK and secondary school and sailing and everything. i could write a whole chronicle on how much i love secondary school and how much i wish it didn't have to end so fast.

i'm going to miss secondary school. so so much. and i can't describe exactly how much i'm gonna miss 4A - it's just too much.

but nevermind, we all still have 4 DAYS officially left with each other. let's make the BEST of it. lets cherish it and make it a good time.

but if anyone plays Graduation - Vitamin C or any other school related song on friday. i'm going to cry. i think i will.

wahhh. we're all going to turn into emo, overworked stressed-to-death students.

ying tai: yeah i know. i'll make sure i won't stay back lahh.

Oh for the future.

2008-10-04T18:56:00.001+08:00

my future is set, set in stone, in black and white on paper. at least my JC future that is.

MJC, here i come! i guess initially it scared me to know that, yes now i'm stuck in a certain JC and other options are totally over - no VJC, no TJC, no poly. but then after the open house yesterday, i don't feel so bad and actually i'm quite satisfied with my chioce (i hope).i mean, i like the school! it's bright, cheery, not to mention super giagantic! and yeah they seem pretty fun people with good school culture. MJC may not be the best or the most pretegious school but i think it doesn't really matter to me. they're up and coming, produce pretty good results and i think that's quite good already.i don't need to go to a super big-named school anyway. i'll only be there for 2 years! i really hope i don't regret saying these stuff. haha.

all i have to do now is work really hard.

work? did ya say work? yes seriously you don't wanna even get a small hint of how much work i have to do (unless you've got the same) haha. we're all going to die... papers- mock papers, prelim papers, other school papers. papers papers papers coming out of my ears. and i think i'm crazy cos i just went to popular to get more. oh dear me. so much for mr wee's "pacing, you must have pacing..."

Children's Day!

2008-10-01T20:02:00.001+08:00

Yeahh! i used to love love love this day because in primary school children's day meant going to school just to party, getting loads of cool presents from teachers, no lessons!, half day of school, children's day concert where we watched and laughed hysterically at the hilarious concert items the teachers put up for us.ahh good times.

now we don't celebrate it anymore. which is terribly sad! childrens day was one of my fave holidays. and it's not like we celebrate youth day anyway. but you know what? i'm still a kid at heart! yeah we all are and i think we all deserve to have children's day.this year we're lucky - childrens day clashes with Hari Raya.

Oh YA! SELAMAT HARI RAYA! (:

haha! primary school kids are short of one holiday now. heh. still, it's not much of a "holiday", i'm still studying my ass off.

yesterday, er... we went abit nuts and lined the whole hallway, no not hallway but hallway plus my mum's bedroom, with a LONG sheet of paper. and then we proceded to fill it up with drawings, inspired by that cool nokia advert, which we never did anyway. such a long long roll of paper!

P.S. the 'product' i mentioned earlier (that funny cute advert remember?) is...*drumrolls*... UNDERWEAR! haha. yeah cool.

and 'microgolf oven' is actually just microwave oven in flemish

Quote of the day: "ahh there's a fly....SHOOO"

okay. enjoy the rest of your Children's day "holiday" (:

janice: wow! haha long tag =P yeah i dunno what i'm gonna do with all my books after the Os. haha! the 'product' answer is above =P

yingtai: Bingo! you got it, it's underwear. well, it's OBVIOUSLY not condoms! LOL ewww i wouldn't buy condoms...

Oohhh scareyyy.

2008-09-28T16:36:00.001+08:00

Scary are the days ahead. yeah i'm quite dreading every single minute that goes by. truncated lessons are indeed torturous. we go home even later now, even though we end at 1. mehh.

and the teachers are like rushing through everything. like a frieght train racing down the tracks. but i guess it's for our own good (: we should be really giving it all right now anyway, which reminds me - i shouldn't really be blogging now eh?

yet, though the next few weeks will be tough but i know God will be there to help me through it, like He did with prelims. (: so i'm not as scared now as i was. i can do it, we all can do it. jia you!

looking through my results again, i have to admit i really do thank God for it. it may not be the best but yesterday, after doing a feedback sorta thing, i actually realised that i improved a fair bit and i'm feeling pretty good about it now. i've taken a big step towards what i wanted to achieve and that's all that matters.

did a bit of cleaning up. (: yeah books all over the floor, everywhere... but the funny thing is, now my desk looks the exact same way it did before. don't know why i went through such trouble to clean it up. the only thing is now i can actually find me notes (:

post-prelim presents!!! NOT. ahha. nahhh they're just stuff i got after prelims. my auntie got me a Adidas bag! just about time! my old and fake one just went kaput - no more zip, strap broke off entirely, etc. can u believe that this is actually the first time i actually owned a real 'branded' bag? yeah i'm not for materialistic-ness but just a random fact. the album is Mcfly's Radio:active, which has been mentioned by me way to many times (sorry! was kinda crazy for it). it was ordered exclusively from the UK okay! so happy it finally came! one of the many precious things i own - which isn't alot. and i only know one other person who has it here in Singapore. so cool.

then we suddenly got so many new albums. my aunt bought the avril lavigne, jesse mccartney and westlife ones from china. haha. but 2 aren't mine, the jesse Mccartney and westlife albums, they're hers. but she gave me the songs (:

can you guess what kind of product these labels came from? bet you can't! they're so cute!

and another thing: what do you think a microgolf oven is?

hope it rains! i'm feeling motivated.

janice: haha! actually it hasn't been long since u last tagged lol! yeah truncated is intense. mr wee sweats more and more each day! he goes so so fast

Rachel is smiling.

2008-09-24T21:59:00.001+08:00

loads of people have been getting mood swings lately. including me.

ahhh marks marks marks, grades grades grades, aggregate and points and VJC and wahhhhh i'm going to go mad.

today, VJC principal and vice principal came to talk to us. we watched a soccer match? the talk was quite cheery and quite fun until he mentioned the cut-off point: 4. *jaw drops*

i was like "okay, OUT!" haha. no VJC for me thanks. there's NO WAY i'm getting 6 points. absolutely no way. yup yup. MJC FTW!

yeahhh. my rollercoaster of emotions did a loop-the-loop from sadness, satisfaction, slight shock, disappointment to joy, excitement, enjoyment and just happiness.

yeah came back to find Radio:active in the hands of my sister and started to jump for joy. FINALLY! then me and my sister beat my brothers in soccer, 3 goals to 1, while my parents played badminton. good fun.

i'm so enjoying now, awesome new songs blasting from the laptop (:

TRUNCATED STARTS TOMORROW! be ready...

see youuuu later.

Not dead, just yet

2008-09-23T18:42:00.001+08:00

you know, it's quite weird but if you stare at a word long enough, or say/write a certain word many many times, don't you often go " hey, actually that's a funny word and i wonder why it's spelt like that?". No? maybe just me then. haha. cause i wrote my name down on a piece of paper and ended up staring at it. then i was like " My name is actually 'Rachel' ? really? that's such a weird name" maybe exams are driving me nuts. but yeah sometimes i think we do take words for granted.

yesterday, today and tomorrow we have been/will be getting back papers and marks and yada yada yada. Me? Marks? don't ask. haha! seriously i much hate talking about my own marks because i always cringe and wince over how terrible they are. I know most people will like spill out all their marks on blogs and stuff but not me, for safety reasons - later i cause people to faint or something because they're so terrible! okay, joking! still, ~~if you really wanna know ask me~~.(this sentence is redundant because it's not like anyone is dying to know my marks anyway)

i think my standard is like pure rubbish. i mean, today i was calculating a predicted aggregate for myself, being already super lenient in giving myself 4 A2s ( which i assure you will never happen) , and i admit i was quite happy that it came up to about 16. i wanted to punch myself. 16??? there's absolutely nothing to be happy about getting 16! i should be happy if i get like 10 and below, not 16! thats atrocious! sigh, see how far behind i've fallen, such that i'm convinced that 16 is great. *makes self chat "must get below 10" *

BUT i am quite chuffed about my social studies - got a B3 surprisingly, though i thought it will like flunk. i know a B ain't much but i think it's pretty good for me, considering how i ususally fail bad bad. oh! and chinese. got a D7 again but i think it's quite okay since i TOTALLY did not study one bit of chinese and i had absolutely no clue what the passages were on about. ah there i go again, i really shouldn't be celebrating these lowly achivements

and i have a week and abit to decide on my future...i hate these kind of decisions.

my room and desk is in such a horrid mess. how on earth i study like that? i also dunno. can't find a thing in that mountain. correction: make that 3 hills, i recently split the mountain ^

my brother that hangs out under my desk. don't ask me why

the brothers have been baking O.O two boys in the kitchen = disaster. but whatever...cookie anyone?

heh. okay back to work

later alligator.

P.S look what this site told me:

Rip-off

2008-09-21T14:56:00.001+08:00

Greed. seriously sometimes the greed of Man is really sickening - people do anything and everything just so it can benefit just purely themselves, without any regard for others at all. really disgusting. sometimes i really wonder what we've become, money grabbing, inconsiderate people. i mean with China's melamine-in-milk case, it's like come on, plastic in baby milk? i bet they didn't even think about how it'll affect babies - like kill them. And why? i sure they just wanted to cut costs of protein to put in the milk just to pass the standards. Grrrr.

anyway, today got ripped off at lunch as well. with all these people cutting costs left right. we went to eat laksa and porridge on mountbattan. to be honest the laksa was still alright, thought the portion was seriously reduced. but the porridge was like...ughh. first yes the portion was also severly reduced and it was like diluted beyond anything. really, 80% of the spoonful of porridge was pure water. does rice costs so much nowadays that they have to cut cost until like that?? and the price was absolutely the same and still pretty high.ah it won't be a national crisis but it sure affected their business. i'm not going there again.

okay. rant over.

tomorrow. yes, i'm going to start dying tomorrow. haha. it'll either be because of the screaming from teachers and parents because of my horrid disgustingly terrible marks OR because when i see those horridly disgustingly terrible marks i would mug myself into my grave anyway. punchline: i really really don't wanna get my marks back tomorrow. yikes. thinking about it and how close The-terrible-Os are nearly gave me a nightmare yesterday.

but nevermind, today is still today so i'm going to cherish it while it lasts. yes. and i'm feel very queer rather cos though i'm dreading tomorrow and the days to come, there's still stuff to look forward to. for instance, Brisingr is OUT! yes, the last book of Eragon. i'm not a huge fan but still i reckon it's a good book. my sister is bound to buy it anyway (she's more a fan than me). ANNDD... RADIO:active (the album i've long awaited to buy) is coming to me. yes! i ordered it and it has been dispatched and on the way to Singapore. Hurrah! Cant wait for it.

sorry about my ramble. i'm going to try to study bio. *note the word try* Happy Sunday Y'all!

Cyn: yes! i wanna go again! haha.meanwhile u wanna go roller blading? then you'll become a pro! haha

daniel: yeah, horrid predicament... i'm so dreading it

jamie: no it's not bad! haha means i've been taking wayyy to many breaks in between studying to do what i want. so now i've nothing left to do. ahhh i'm going to fail all tomorrow... T.T

cherie: it's funny cos no one else knows what u meant by that tag! LOL. and i didn't say they were ' motivational posters' i only said they were funny! XD

Funny-ness.

2008-09-18T10:57:00.001+08:00

it's very weird and funny actually. the whole of last week, the week before and the week before before last, all i was looking forward to was these 4 days to do what i want, and take a gooood hard earned break. then, the whole of last week i'm sure i took way too much breaks than i should, just because i wasn't supposed to.Then now, i've finally come to my lovely breaktime, and i'm already bored out of my skull and i've realised - i've run out things to do. strange huh.

worse come to worse, i'll just go study.

on and lighter and certainly more livelier note, i very much enjoyed ice skating yesterday! went with Jamie, Cynthia, Yug Han, Mark, Jermaine, Tate and Ying Tai. it was Brill! yeah. i've never been before so yesterday was awesome. skating on ice is generally the same as rollerblading cept' it much more slippery and you tend to slide sdeways and sometimes fall down. we had the whole rink (is it rink or ring?) to ourselves besides some pro figue skaters. haha! we all must have looked very funny, like a bunch of clowns - the pros were so graceful as they twirled and jumped while there we were in the back teeter-tottering, then falling down. hilarous! i fell once, got my jeans all wet haha! but whoa it was immense fun. Definitely gotta do it again. and the next time i gotta remember to get my camera out.

todays random note(s):

i've got an epic song stuck in my head. ~~that's just stupid.~~
i have realised that while i always say i have nothing that i hate, there are actually quite a number of things that i do hate. Hmmm.

so, those with things to do, enjoys doing the things you are doing. i'll just get back to wandering aimlessly around the house.

Smile, just smile.

You don't have to have money,
To make it in this world.

Oh you just gotta be happy,
But sometimes that's hard.

Just remember to smile smile smile
And that's a good enough start.

So if you aint good looking,
Don't you let it get you down.
And if you're love life ain't cooking baby,
There'll be more fish around
Oh you just gotta stay happy,
So put away that frown.

So just remember to smile smile smile,
And turn the world around.
So just remember to smile smile smile

C'mon show us your teeth and what you got underneath

Cause everyones got troubles,
Cause everyones got troubles,
Thats the way the story goes.
You dont have to use hubble baby
To see what's underneath your noes.
Oh cause if you're feeling happy,
That's the way to let it show.

So just remember to smile smile smile
So everybody knows
And it will make things so much better,
When you're feeling low.

Just remember to smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
Smile smile smile
C'mon show us your teeth and what you got underneath.

ah well. what's done is done. what's over is gone. one hurdle over, 7 more to go.

sigh, i just realised i've missed, or couldn't watch it for that matter, the BEST football match ever. i mean, 2 of your favourite things in one match? totally awesome. BUT I DON'T LIVE IN UK! bahh. that sucks big time... *cries*

argh, whatever. think chemistry and amaths.

Arrivederci! and goodnight.

Hello thursday.

2008-09-04T13:20:00.001+08:00

i think i've slagged myself off pretty bad in the last post. hehe. i'm not that much a slacker. i guess i was really feeling mad at that point. still, i blame me and the wonderful internet.

i haven't done very much though. and it's already a little past mid week....blahblahblah

you know what? i actually don't have anything to say. i'm just tired, bored stiff of amaths.

just for the record, i think Back to the Future is a way cool film, despite it being really old - like 1985 old.

basically it's about this guy, Marty Mcfly (Mcfly! haha) who accidentally travelled back in time to 1955 cos his friend, some Doctor-mad-scientist guy built a time machine. yeah so he's stuck in 1955 and finds his parents who were young then and tries to make them better, getting them to meet and make his dad stand up for himself...etc (his dad's a total geeky wimp) and at the same time trying to get back to 1985. i enjoyed it quite a lot cos it's pretty cool, cute and funny at the same time. ~~and the name "Mcfly" was mentioned only a gazillion times. hehe~~ (: the story's awesome too.

apparently it was quite a big hit and i know quite a few songs that were written after the movie and of course not to mention there's a whole band named after the character's name... *big smile*

talking about songs, i wonder how my dad will react when i tell him i wanna buy $60 worth of music online... O.O i'm scared he won't allow me to. awww man.

okay. i'll let you get back to your books.

adios amigos...

i'm supposed to be doing maths. but the blank maths paper is still staring up at me, even now as i type this out, which i shouldn't be doing.

gah, when will reality come and kick me full in the face? when will i wake up and say "hey! there's so little time, i need to study". i'm slipping into a fantasy, where stupid Olevels don't exist and where i am free to explore the very depths of the cyber world.

something's wrong with me. i just cannot register that theres only so little time till the final exam. and that now there's only 6 days standing between me and the rest of the prelims. oh help.

geez, i really need to lock up this computer. there's just so much you can do with the internet, with stuff like blogging, youtube, google... i don't know if i should thanks the makers of the internet or hate them. they sure have overly-distracted people like me who are supposed to be studying with the endless possibilities of using their wonderful network. or is everyone else studying and not getting distracted? yes? okay, then it's just me.

ahhhhhh. someone kick/pinch/slap me please and scream into my ear about prelims and exams and studying. maybe then i'll wake up.

i think i shouldn't allow myself to watch Back to the Future later. :|

see you soon.

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!

wait... it's not teacher's day just yet. we just celebrated yesterday.

i suck because i didn't manage to get much pictures yesterday. silly me decided to leave my stupid bag behind the assembly plaza and wasted the glorious chance of taking photos of our ACES day, which was, in fact quite terrible.

nay, it was horrible. sad to say it was the worse ACES day i've done. it wasn't the dance. i liked the dance. cute and enjoyable. it was just the fact that they broke the whole school into 2. by houses. i mean, it just wasn't fun no more, not without the whole school doing together. besides, ACES day is when All Children Excercise Simultanously. it isn't ALL if half the school is sitting there watching the other. oh well, never enjoyed the housing system anyway. so much for the "ohh make the whole school united...blahblahblah". House System = social segregation!

well anyway. the concert, however, was pretty good fun and cute. heh.

mr Haresh AKA the Phantom of TK. so cute! haha. really sent us into fits of laughter. and he can sing too.

my favourite was the dance by the sec 4s! they were so amazing. hats off to them man, they can dance.

i also really liked the sec 3 band. i must say they're one of the best TK bands i've seen! not that there are very many anyway.

it's sad actually, our last teachers day here. next year we'd be the ones coming back, crying because of how much we'd miss TK. shouldn't think about that yet...

ahhh. i should get started on studying.

enjoy your mugging week!

ciao!

i stumbled upon this. it made me cry so much.

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
Complicated circumstances have clouded her view
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
I fear that I won't have the words that she needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
Lord, I lift my friend to You
My best friend in the world, I know she means much more to You
I want so much to help her, but this is something she has to do
And Lord, I lift my friend up to You
'cause there's a way that seems so right to her
But You know where that leads
She's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
My friend up to You
Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You

Amen.

The beginning of the end.

2008-08-27T21:24:00.001+08:00

today, my friends, was the last day of normal school.

today we had the last day of normal lessons, the last of our timetable and the last of normal recess. today, we had the last PE lesson.

tomorrow will be the start, the start of prelims, the start of the cramming, jamming and stuffing of four years worth of knowledge and info into every nook and cranny of our cranium. tomorrow will kick off the worrying, panicking and stressing for the O levels. dear me.

today, was the end of the good times, the fun that we all had in our four years at TK and tomorrow will be the start of the mad, tough sprint to the finish line, the final lap of our secondary school studies - the worse one.

God, how time flies when you're having fun, coupled with stress, intense studying and crazy revision. it seemed like only yesterday that i was complaining about how we only had a few weeks to prelims, going on and on about how a slacker i've been. and now, i'm staring prelims in the face, just nervously awaiting the start.

but, unhappiness, countless woes, nonchalant and melancholic thoughts aside, today, the 27th of august 2008, my brother Andrew turns 6. oh my gosh. 6? as in S-I-X 6?

yes, this messy little chatterbox is 6 years today. Shall i reiterate how fast time zooms pass. maybe not. but yeah, it too reminds me how old i'm getting (i used to really 'worship' people who were 16 last time) it's so fast that it's getting scary.

as a form of celebration for this glorious occasion - my brother turning 6 and me getting older :X, we all went to watch Wall.E. i know people will be like "are you insane? prelims tomorrow and you still go watch movie???" i said that to myself too so they're not alone. yet, for my beloved brothers sake , we all headed to Suntec to catch the movie. i wasn't disappointed. a definite brilliant watch people! the story, superb. not to mention it's witty, funny and hilariously cute! what's more, there's like barely a few lines of dialogue and they managed to convey every single expression and feeling exceptionally clearly using pure genius animation of the various characters. i'm still amazed at how the tech behind entertainment has managed to come so far.

enough of my rambles so good luck for tomorrow. may you have inspiration to write and that the new air-conditioners don't freeze your bum off.

cherio and don't sleep too late!

BYOD.

2008-08-23T21:40:00.001+08:00

Bring Your Own Drink. yeap. nowadays we're all getting ripped off by the horrid price of drinks. take the vending machine, the new one, in our school for example. i know we have to pay for it to be on all day one and so on and so forth but i mean $1.40 for a bottled drink? we're students for goodness sake. however i'm still okay with it there out of convience on saturdays, it;s just that i won't be buying from it often. also today my sister, actually i have no idea why, but she spent $1.50 on the tiniest bottle of coloured drink i've ever seen. and it was just grape juice. a little more she could've bought a whole carton of REAL grape juice.

moral of the story, bring your own drink wherever u go. preferbly water - the best beverage.

this was actually last sunday. we went a-hiking. on rifle range link

and went to explore the stream there! twas cool

yeah, we were just wading around. really fun(:

running around the ~~longkang~~ stream. haha. channelisation at work.

mini waterfall

the water was so cool to put your feet in. refreshing.

2008-08-22T18:12:00.001+08:00

it did rain today. oh the glorious rain. and the lessons? boring? yeah. pretty much.

plus, for PE we were disallowed to play our beloved volleyball and were forced to do some lame dance for ACES day. bleaughh. i mean, come on, why did the school have to do away with last year's routine? it was so fab, so cool, so much fun. we could at least do something similar. And the trainer too, sebastian, was so nice and funny. where'd he go huh?

meh. what to do. i guess we gotta endure a lil' while.

today for character Ed, which i quite enjoy by the way, we delved into a deeeep subject - Marriage.

Marriage - such a strong word. a bond, an eternal bond between two lovers. we talked a lot about marriage, about tying the knot, about having kids next time and most importantly what kind of guy are you looking for. Many have loads of their physical and materialistic requirements for their future spouse, e.g they have to be a certain height, handsome/pretty , a good job... etcetera.

but me, i have none of those. for me character is the most important. Even of my guy is averagely handsome or not so rich, as long as he loves me and sees me as just me, i'll love him. of course if he does happen to be good looking, i'm not complaining, it's a bonus. my idea of a perfect man, is one that i can spend every second of every day with. one that i could never live without. he must understand me inside out and see me for who i am. he must also be someone that can make me smile, that can make me laugh, one whom i simply love the company of. ohh i could write a whole book about all this, yet none of the traits in the book will be about physical and materialistic requirements.

however, i must admit. i've quite a soft spot for western 'ang moh' guys. especially british ones :)british musicians, british football players... but i've never met a brit guy so i wouldn't know anyway.

gah. why the hell am i talking about marriage? i'm not even freaking 16 years old yet.

seriously, Beijing Olympics has been a true BLAST to watch. totally hooked onto it. i enjoyed watching...

diving

sailing! woohoo!

hurdles. that's the ultra fast Cuban (middle) who like owned everyone else at 110m men's hurdles. he was like so fast

the other athletics (:

Tennis! here's Rafael Nadal.

Beach volleyball!

table tennis and cheering on Singapore! Congrats to our team, bagging the silver medal in the team event and ending Singapore's 48 year olympic medal drought.

swimming and Michael Phelps. scream girls scream! hahaha. he was simply awesome. 8 golds, many world records, including the record of having the most golds. Rock on Phelps!

Women football. interestingly i didn't manage to catch the Men's football. the women were so cool and i think they are so so good, as good as the men! they're even as rough if not rougher then the men. and USA won - beating Brazil

and my FAVOURITE event. GYMNASTICS! oh yeah! there's Shawn Johnson, whom i love cos she's simply UH-MAY-ZING. and she's also a smilely bubbly cute girl. haha! artistic gymnastics is so fun and great to watch, but sadly it's over! my fave apparatus to watch is the balance beam

which shawn johnson got GOLD for (:

olympics ends on 24th August so happy watching!

it's raining again. there goes the thunder.

dan: haha. yeah. come to think of it, they aren't cubes no more

sherrisa: thanks so much my dear! same to you. good luck for your PSLE!

i'm sure everyone has seen normal rubik's cubes. the 2x2x2, the 3x3x3, the 4x4x4 and 5x5x5. but have you seen these?

3x3x5. there are only 30 of these in the entire world. cool huh.

2x2x4? looks cool

you can do this...

you can even do this.

don't ask me how to solve that. i don't know.

brilicube. so pwetty.

nice colours (:

4x4x5. wow.

this one's called 2-layered cheese. i can tell why.

these are the skewbbrick. believe it or not there's only 16 pieces of this in the world.

interestingly this one's called the cylinder-cube.

star prism. lovely in my opinion.

then there's the kite. really looks like a kite. haha (:

now, onto the scary ones...

this looks freakily scary. must be a nightmare trying to solve it. it's called the 7x7x7 vcube by the way.

the Dodecahedron. actually i wouldn't say this actually looks very daunting. yet i'm sure it's a pain when it comes to solving it.

the overlapping cube. yikes!

the Cubeoctahedron. if i had one in my hands i doubt i'll even know how to turn it, let alone solve it.

that's just like woah. the Icosahedron Megaminx.

rhomball. that's like freaking oh my gosh. hahaha.

there's even a cube with a map on it. haha. if you get lost you still have to solve the puzzle first. it's a map of london by the way.

last, but of course not least, sort of...

we've seen the hardest so now the easiest! 1x1x2.

this isn't all though. just a small part of the many variations ever made. more here though: http://puzzle-shop.de/start-museum.html . but the website can be a little troublesome.

i'm so loving the olympics now. the athletes are amazing. hats of to them - i'm sure all of them worked so very hard for this. also big congrats to Michael Phelps! he picked up his 7th gold already. jia you Phelps! you can beat Mark Spitz record!

oh yeah and i've realised that the smell i hate most in the world has got to be garbage. Yeaughhh. the worst smelling thing in garbage: old coffee powder and banana peels. double YUCK.

i'll be getting back to the TV now. Badminton mens single bronze match and the first EPL match of the 2008/2009 season - Arsenal and West Brom on now.

ciao!

these few week's been tough, the next few weeks will be worse.

BUT, i am so proud and joyful to announce that...

O LEVEL ORAL IS OVER! yeah!

though i like talked total crap, i'm so relived it's over and done with. Also to be honest i'm pretty, no not pretty, really happy and quite satisfied with my Chinese O level results. i know i suck, being happy with a mere C5, but for me it's an achievement - i'm a usual F9 kid, been getting F9 since sec 2. so that's quite a good thing for me, having to pass chinese, but i'm not dropping it. i may as well try for a B. *note the word try* no guarantees... oh! and so many many congrats to those with Bs and As! Bravo guys.

thursday is officially over and i realised i've written TOTAL RUBBISH for the SS test just now. never have i written so much, like 1.5 pages of so much, out of completely nothing. serious i had absolutely no idea what to write for the essay because i ended up studying the completely wrong thing. i'll be lucky if she even gives me 2 marks (for stating the extent of my agreement.) Mdm Rozy gonna be laughing when she marks my script.

It smells so sweet outside today.
The sun smiles down,
I'm in the shade.
But when today is yesterday,
I sit and think about all my friends and how good they are.
But I know that the memories won't go to far.
I know that things won't stay the same.
Lessons taught and lessons learned.
Round and round the world will turn.
Jesus gets us through the good and bad times.
And lets us know that everything will be just fine.
A year's passed since I wrote this song.
It shines outside and in my life,
But I know that Jesus has been there right by my side.
A lot's gone right a lot's gone wrong.
And I see the sun still shines.
And I know that everything is gonna be just fine

Everything will be - Relient K

Happy Birthday to us!

2008-08-09T21:39:00.001+08:00

first off,

HAPPY 43rd BIRTHDAY TO SINGAPORE!

Yeah!

i spent my national day morning climbing this! yeah a REAL rockwall. at labrador beach.

that's timmy on the wall. he's quite pro at it.

we were there with my parent's friends and a huge bunch of kids (their kids) so there were like 7 adults and 10 kids.

my brother matthew. he looks so small there haha.

my sister had a go...

my mum. haha. she didn't get very far :P but neither did i on that route. it's so much tougher than it seems and because this is REAL rock, limestone i think, the rocks are really really really sharp and painful to hold on to and finding just the right ledge to hang on to is terribly difficult cos it's real rock. i'll never find climbing artificial rockwalls difficult again (not that i really did before) because the ledges are like in your face is bright red colours and they are easy to hold on to, without your fingers bleeding and hurting bad later on.

even andrew tried it out.

oooh, Dad on the wall...

though, he wasn't very much above the ground. haha. nah that was one of the tougher ones too. i mean, even my dad can't get up it - he's a way better climber than i am.

Uncle Kee Seng coming down. he's the super pro. he was the one who helped us set up all the ropes and stuff (:

we borrowed some climbing shoes. climbing shoes are crazily extremely tiny for those who didn't know and they make your feet squeeze in such that your toes are curled. And they are quite a torture to wear, modern day binding of feet...okay not that bad. haha. but they are amazing. they make your feet feel so so agile that they can fit into any nook and cranny on the way and i really felt as if i could literally walk up the wall in them. i'm still slightly awed by the interesting shoe one that makes your feet look scarily small when you actually get them on.

haha. one way to get up the wall - have someone push your bum up.

i climbed till there! (that's not me, that's uncle tiak) it doesn't look tall but it's pretty high alright. i was the second to sucessfully get there, first being my sister cos i was belaying her. pity i don't have any pictures of me climbing. didn't take any.

found a preying mantis along the way.

hangin' around?

marj on the rock!

after all the climbing then they all did repeling! i gave this one a pass. didn't feel like scrambling up the giagantic rock.

my brother again, taking repelling to the fullest.

andrew didn't really climb much. he sent most of his time with melanie. Awwww. young romance. hehehe.

they certainly had fun...

perfect day at the beach (sorta). a pop-up tent, a picnic and rockclimbing.

and the sea, was awesome.

happy national day guys. and i hope the people at the atadium aren't wet (:

Happy day-before-singapore's-birthday day

2008-08-08T17:04:00.001+08:00

this year's celebration was pretty fun to be honest, i enjoyed it - also we were really enthu this year so, yeah, we had fun jumping, singing and laughing.

where's my brain, i forgot to bring my camera. darn. our LAST national day celebration in TK and i don't have pictures. what a bummer. i'm sure daniel has loads of good pics - he was running around with his cool camera snappin' away.

oh! and i've FINISHED Breaking Dawn! all 756 pages of it. and all under 24 hours. okay, it took a span of 2 days but if you calculate the hours i've been reading it'll definately clock in below a day.

Breaking Dawn is AMAZING. it's all about:

VAMPIRES,

WEREWOLVES,

and TRUE LOVE.

'Nuff said.

and it's an absolutely 100%-positively a MUST read!

Mmmm. i want to melt into Edward's arms...

i'm off to enjoy my national day eve and try the guitar again. yep i'm hopelessly trying to learn, what a bad time. and i'm going to attempt to catch 8:08:08pm, 08/08/2008 on my watch. see if my camera is fast enough (:

and to the athletes, not atheletes, competing in the Beijing Olympics 2008, Best of Luck you guys! Make Singapore Proud!

so TTFN, tata for now!

Temptation.

2008-08-03T14:48:00.001+08:00

there's a book on my table. a black book. a book with two chess pieces on it, one is red. a book which i have been so patiently await the arrival of. my hand absent-mindedly reaches of the novel. "it's here! it's sitting on your desk! open it, read it.you've been waiting so long..." my mind screams in encouragement. Ah, but my conscience takes over, causing my arm to dart backwards. No. i can't read it. no doubt that even if i take a tiny peep at the first page i'll get stuck in it and i won't put the book down till i've read the very last word on the very last page. then my physics marks will be damned. oh dear i'm babbling off again.~~that was so lame~~.

okay. i think i've established that i won't be reading breaking dawn till tomorrow. But, even without reading it, i reccommend it as a star read! though you gotta, or should, read the first 3 books first. and BTW my sister finished it already.

so everyone should go get Breaking Dawn and I should go get back to physics.

Syonara folks!

cyn: don't worry now the price is pretty good so u can buy it! (:

Rest and Rejuvenate.

Hello Weekend!

as of now it's officially 3 hours, 26 minutes, 54 seconds and 485 milliseconds till the release of Breaking Dawn. Hooray!

Can't wait (:

this is the most nonsensical rubbish song i've heard, but it's funny. heh

ever seen one? cool eh? my own brand of cookies. Hah! my aunt brought it from Belgium just for me.

school's getting a pain in the neck. guess what i found in the enormously thick chemistry book they gave today: (btw i really don't want to know how much it cost which must be like a lot, considering it's as thick, if not thicker, than the bio text book)

Save our Souls! this is ridulously INSANE.

"at least 90% or more to achieve A1"

is the school TRYING TO KILL US?

i think so. I'm officially D.E.A.D

you know there's something wrong when your books start saying this. haha

ah.. so just stay drug free

and keep that smile on your face.

kiss goodbye to thursday y'all!

plus plus minus equals minus

2008-07-29T17:07:00.001+08:00

i was really going to come home and rant on and on about how boring and how school really sucked today. boy did it suck, it was so brain-killing, sleep-inducing boring. actually i don't even know why it felt like such a drag. and i was 150% amazingly right, not surprising really, about my physics test. totally flunked-out-of-the-freaking-window bad. i betcha i got total bottom in class. Yup, i suck at pretty much everything.

BUT, teachers also have their own woebegone remedies. okay well poor Mdm Rozy didn't really have i choice i guess. hope her sore throat and lost voice gets better (: yeah but her cancelling our supplementary today sent us all into ecstacy. we were literally jumping up and down, off the walls with joy. going home smack at 2pm was such a great ~~priviledge~~ privilege (darn, i still can't spell that word), one that we took for granted in lower sec. now it's simply a wish come true.

so i guess i'll just conclude that today was an okay day. considering that the good stuff canceled the bad out.

yet, i'm still guilty of slacking. if ever there was a prize for the most slacking, procrastinating student i'd probably win it hands down. still gotta work hard, even though MJC accepted me (:

bloody important NOTE to self: don't be confident of anything, don't slack, don't think of anything else, just study your ass off.

that was me. i'm out.

P.S. i still can't believe i've been at home since 2.15pm (:

Rachel harmony day

2008-07-23T17:07:00.001+08:00

oh yes. nah, it's Racial Harmony day.

we had a talk in the morning, argurably the most boring and longest talk we've ever ever had. i'm still puzzled why the school got an accountant to talk on racial harmony day. hmmm. anyway he talked for like 8.15 until 9.10 plus and he ended up just promoting SMU. not like i'm going there any time soon. Grrr. bored out of my skull.

recess was, well, just recess. then we had the KDB sessions (KDB actually meant Know-Do-Be which is a weird name) where our group won the quiz. (:

then english test and it became another of the gazillions of english tests that i've screwed up. i worte the crappiest essay in the universe and a speech that no one would enjoy listening to. i'm so rubbish at english.

PUNCHLINE: I shoulda' STAYED HOME TODAY

yay for me. i wasted a day.

i want a Rachel Harmony day. a day where everybody gets to stay home, do whatever you want and not be subjected to long, boring, time-wasting talks.

ah i'm outta here.

Radio:ACTIVE is a gazillions times more AMAZING than i thought. gosh i'm hyperventilating.

2008-07-19T19:00:00.001+08:00

i just love the rain. people often feel that rain brings sadness and gloom but to the contrary i think rain is refreshing and cooling. it brings wonderful feelings of comfort and pleasentness. it is always rain that washes any negative thoughts and feelings away. i enjoy the rain and i always feel joyful knowing that God is watering the flowers, trees and providing for nature around us.

the feeling after the rain though, is amazing.

but i hope that the rest of my family is not that wet. they're on sister's island. yes, without me.I, however am stuck at home with the cat. pretty cool actually, being alone at home.

still, GAH i'm pretty peaved. media rubbish sucks...DIZZEE RASCAL sucks. he'd better not get no.1 in the UK charts tomorrow. ~~why do i care so much about the UK music charts lol?~~ Sorry, it's irrelevant to everyone here, but i had to put my frustration somewhere...

plus, the lucky UK people are getting Radio:ACTIVE free tomorrow with the papers. why don't we get free albums in the newspaper here in Singapore? ahh just ship me off to england already.

i'm off the enjoy the quietness of the house.

SGC's killing me. i've no brain juice to write anymore. today was utterly exhausting. for starters, we had 3 whole periods of CHEMISTRY. Mrs Yap didn't come. bummer. and it's monday again so it means the horrible 4 periods or 2 hours or 120 minutes of MATHS. woah. brain? dead long before physics test-which i'm going to flunk anyway.

so by the time i got home, sat down and looked at the unfinished SGC, no more brain cells to do anything, let alone write an essay about myself. i kind of hate writing about myself. sometimes i feel untruthful writing some stuff as i know that sometimes i fail to live up to the crazily high standards i bluff about. then again, i am probably the only one who knows so much about myself and only i can do the testimonial justice. still, to write about yourself you must dig into the inner you, sometimes hitting rather bitter subjects. heck, what am i blabbling about?

i know, i know i am a boring blogger :P

sometimes i feel like i'm in a tank. drowning in my books and notes and what-have-you-not.

people come, people go. my cousins came to visit but Cherie left for Australia to study this morning. See what i mean about everybody moving away to ~~stupid~~ Australia?! why oh why move there? so now the tally of friends and family in Australia comes up to 8? and rising. maybe i'll go too. take university there. but oh i'll miss her so much. i've known cherie like forever, really i can't even remember meeting, her i just knew her. hope she has fun there and she better come back soon (:

Ms low should get a prize for being so extra nice to us today. first we finished watching kung fu hustle, which is okay la cos i've seen it before and i think it's a little gruesome the way they punch each other. then when it finished Ms low was like "watch another movie? then we postpone ting xie to thurs" or something along those lines. that's incredibly cool! haha. since when do we get to watch movies during chinese and get ting xie postponed all at once? i love chinese teachers (: can school get any better?

the underdogs

2008-07-05T11:55:00.001+08:00

it's over.

my 4 years of sailing in TK is gone, done with.

most of my seniors were super extremely excited, joyful, when they reached this stage - they no longer had to put up with the dreaded grueling painstaking chore of a CCA. Contrary to their outspoken emotions, i was pretty woeful yesterday when they raised AP over A, marking the final end to my racing on byte. it's was quite a saddening event, after 2 and a half years racing on the byte, i doubt i will get to race in it ever again.

the prize giving was also quite a stressful thing for me. it's upsetting to watch the prize winners go up in front to receive their prizes and for some even more upsetting, knowing that i used to be part of their team and we used to win together. people like Melissa and Cassandra, they won something for TKG yesterday. we all used to be part of the Champion Optimist girls team from St Hilda's then in 2004. Including Daniella, who is now in the National squad, they are all winning prizes left and right and i'm stuck in the back, just merely watching. what's worse even my ex-juniors are high flyers, who marched up front looking smart in their school blazers, grinning from ear to ear proud to win something for their school. that's something i miss very dearly. the amazing feeling and pure,absolute joy, knowing that your team have come in champions is indescribable and something i left behind. yet, it's no ones fault and i have ABSOLUTELY no regrets whatsoever about coming to TK and i really dread leaving.

but sad times are over, temporarily, so on to the BBQ! we had great, great fun.

those were Meryl's hands haha!

trying to pick up sharmane again

my 3 dearest juniors. i'll miss them so so so much when we leave

all watching meryl play. LOL

*pokes* wake up louis

TK sailors looking for food. we love barbacues

the hardworking barbacue-ers, who nip at the food as they cook

we played monkey...

we kept hitting the VJC ppl. (in the background) oops!

played volleyball...

some guys played soccer.

ah the hardworking juniors, how sweet of them, cooking for the seniors

the hungry food-grabbing sailors

2008-07-03T20:29:00.001+08:00

i am extremely COMPLETELY uttly EXHAUSTED. sailing is one of the best sports around the certainly one of the most TIRING.

i have never sailing 5 races in one day before and i think the OD boat today was crazy. yes we had 5 races all with quite strong wind and gigantic monsterous waves. i reckon the wind was at least 8 to 10 knots today and it was quite terrible. by the time we got to the 5th race, wow, i couldn't hold the mainsheet no more. my hands really really hurt now.

the races on the whole was alright. overall i'm 21st out of 51 byte B girls in Singapore. not too bad. but needa buck up tomorrow.

i'm in no mood to type anymore. my fingers don't wanna type anymore anyways.

tomorrow: do our BEST. kick some ass. have fun and look forward to the BBQ! oh yeah! tomorrow will be a fun day (:

by the way i doubt anyone will actually come to support us. haha. sailing is like a secret sport. no one really knows what we do cos no one has actually seen us sail. it's slightly annoying but i kinda like it. special secret sport. BUT, supporters are always welcome! maybe you can come for the BBQ later on.

no one really enjoys reading about my sailing do they? :P

i'm out. zonked out. have fun in school tomorrow non-sailors!

seriously oral, especially chinese, has got to be one of the most nerve racking, nail biting exam. thank goodness the examiners were pleasent and i managed to amuse them with my lack of proper speech and my stumbling bumbling tongue tied mouth. i was literally trying to spit out the words i wanted to say. my mouth just didn't listen to me.

and Thank God the question was one i did before. at least i understood the question.

class Tshirt came yesterday too. it looks bril!

the RJC likes (:

okay i'm off the study for the horrid bio test tomorrow. i really don't feel like going, ah but not like i have a choice.

see ya'll.

ying tai: Archy all the way! lol. hope he starts recording songs soon. haha.

First day of term 3

2008-06-23T20:09:00.001+08:00

was like blehh.

we had 2 hours of maths and i was in school from 7.10am until 5.20pm

school will be the death of me one day

and my brother just poured 70 balls down the stairs.

was looking out for Always be my baby by David Cook. jamie got me curious after trying all day to get it to her phone. but while looking for it i stumbled upon this:

When you believe - David Archuleta

his voice is so so good. and i always liked this song. it's so sweet

tagbacks:

jolene: tag ya back! :D you're it! haha

ying tai: yeah no vulgarities in my tagbox :P i've always loved Sound of Music since young. the songs are so nice!

janice: yeah it didn't beat 27 dresses. loved that one :)

my gosh.

2008-06-19T20:46:00.001+08:00

from Tuesday 9pm to wednessday 5pm i watched 5 movies. talk about movie marathon man! thats was like 5 movies in 19 hours which is about 1 movie every 3.8 hours. woah.

1. Perfect Catch. at first i thought it was about fishing?! haha t'was okay. all about a school teacher cum baseball fanatic, yes i mean fanatic, falling in love with some lady and he learnt not to be so crazy about baseball? haha. not entirely that sure about the plot anyhow but i'm not a baseball fan so it was just okay only.

2. Just my Luck. hmmm. the best out of the three we watched on tuesday night. a lot of people said it wasn't nice but i think it's not half bad. though i kind of dislike Lindsay Lohan, it was quite funny seeing her being 'unlucky'. haha. hilarious. not a bad story too. oh and also the 4 really fit (as they say in britan) guys...mmmm.

3. Elizabethtown. been wanting to watch that for a long time. one of the few movies Orlando Bloom actually wears normal clothes. really, he's previously been an elf (Lord of the Rings), a pirate (Pirates of the Caribbean) a crusade? (kingdom of heaven), a Trojan? (Troy). haha. but i really don't get the story of it. perhaps i was too sleepy to follow it, it was 3am in the morn. but Kristen Dunst was cute.

4. Hairspray. yes again. All time favourite of ours. my mum loves it so much haha. me too. fantastic story and awesome songs. plus a few cute guys :)

5. Sound of Music. it rained all day and we couldn't go out at all so we pulled out another musical, a classic. a real classic musical, Hairspray will be one someday . talking about classic musicals i don't know why but i really want to watch Grease :P

i know i'm such a slacker.

3 more days and a gazillion megabillion more pieces of homework to go. i'm so doomed.

oh my god this has got to be the most beautiful sad song i have ever ever heard.

She Falls Asleep - Part 2 - McFly

it simply took my breath away.

if you listen deeply enough it really tugs at your heartstrings.

She falls asleep and all she thinks about is you
She falls asleep and all she dreams about is you
When she's asleep the air she's breathing is for you
Are why she wants to live
She's not got that much more to give

She sits alone, on her phone
She's calling about her broken home
And I don't know what I should say cause she's crying
And feels as though she's thrown it all away
She won't last another day

You're climbing the stairs, unaware that she's hurting
Bad and lying very still on the floor by the door
But it's locked 'cause she was hoping
You would come back for more
But it's too late to realize you've made mistakes

Please save me
I've been waiting,
Been aching for too long

Please save me
I've been waiting

Tom, you are so bloody amazing and talented (:

cyn: yeah! enjoy the remaining of your holidays!

More than a thousand words

2008-06-17T14:16:00.001+08:00

pictures just say everything don't they.

so do emotions.

and today i'm feeling:

happy, annoyed, sad in a way, lazy, determined, excited, satisfied yet not...

i'm absolutely dreading school. awww. the break is coming to an end and i still haven't finished my HOMEWORK.

oh darn. and i have no idea why i'm bloging about this, perhaps to take my mind off the horribly hard and long heymath quizes.

anyway i saw Juno the other day and i have one thing to say: if you haven't watched it yet you haven't lost out on anything. it really sucks. though it has dunno how many academy awards and nominations blah blah blah it's got no story and it's just all about America's twisted culture. it really disgusted me in a way. so out of all the great movies i've seen this has got to be one of the worst. or maybe it's just too mature themed or too surreal themed but it gets 2 thumbs down from me.

less about terrible movies, movie good ones tonight. Movie Marathon here i come!

awwww.LOVEcats.

<3

Mmmmm. simply yummy. the gorgeous Dougie.

:) or :(

2008-06-15T18:20:00.001+08:00

wahoo man!

sentosa byte and optimist championships is over! alright. but, actually i was enjoying myself quite a bit and it's pretty sad really and this was probably the last time i'll race on the byte in a major competition. interschools don't count because there are so little ppl. no fun :(

awwwww. it's suddenly so sad. i'll really miss competitons and competing as a team, playing out at sea hijacking people's boats and all that good hard fun. of course and also the competition itself, the 70 plus ppl on the start line, fighting for good starts, intimidationg others by shouting and just the pure competitive spirit and determination during the race. i'll really miss all that.

mmmm. anyway today we only did one race because the wind was utterly light. actually i was pretty peaved when we finished beacuse i finished 34 out of 72 in the SILVER fleet. that's really screwed up. i expected like below 10 at least but the wind denied me of it. stupid wind. but i guess i cooled down really fast because the rest started to hijack each others boats and it was really funny watching them capsize each other and throw bags of water and stuff all over the place.we had a lot of free time to play as the OD boat couldn't make up their mind to race or not. then they all targeted me and i forgot my disapointment in trying to run away. haha! they caught up anyway and louis capsized me and soon i was in the water. really really fun. cooling at the same time. sigh. i'll miss all of them so so much. don't wanna stop training. :(

so i ended up 13th out of 72. okay la. if i had done better in the last race i could have been top 10. oh well.

sailing rocks man. i think sailing is one of the best sports ever and i absolutely LOVE it.

oh! and i am really really brown now. the sun was terribly hot today. i have around 6 bruises and my fingers have blisters all over. BUT my hair is now brown! sort of. hehe. free dye! :D

reply to tag:

Jinyi: thanks! haha. really u can have tan if you want lol. i look really weird and brown. haha

ahhhh.

2008-06-13T18:49:00.001+08:00

simply ouch.

i have the weirdest tan in the world which is ultra super red and it hurts. i also have bruises on my shoulder cus i fell into my boat this morning and yesterday i whacked myself with the tiller, on the face!

it's friday the thirteen, an unlucky day and yes EVERYthing went wrong today. all i wanted was to drop a few position so i'll be in the silver fleet but i screwed up all the races today :( final position: 82 out of 140. that's a 15 position drop! aw man. haha but still 10 in front of Zeng Woon.

well i'm obviously in the silver fleet so gotta do well and maybe i can win something :) btw the silver fleet is the bottom half of all the sailors. the gold fleet mainly consist of the national squad sailors and i could have worked hard and get into the gold fleet but what's so nice about being the bottom of the top? i'd probably get last anyway. i may as well be the top of the bottom and win a medal :D and that's what i'm going to do.

so that's day 3. two more days!

Wow.

2008-06-12T21:53:00.001+08:00

simply wow. haha.

we are into day TWO into the Sentosa National Byte Championships and today was nothing, absolutely nothing like yesterday.

yesterday

it rained really heavily in the morning and guess what? after rain there's absolutely no wind at all so we were kept on shore until like 1 plus? haha. we just played around- cards, funny hand games, whatever. when we finally launched with okay-ish wind, got out there ready to race, the wind just totally died. we even started a race but it turned into a total stale mate cos no one could move. we just ended up drifting back and i got some shut eye while being towed back to shore

bad wind. but good fun :P

today

today was completely the opposite. the morning was really clear and there wasn't a drop of rain in sight. not a drop. there wasn't even a cloud in the sky. there was a slight delay in launching but ah, we managed to get there promply at about 11 anyway. so much for wasting time. but the wind was fabulous. it was strong but not too strong. strong enough to keep your boat speeding , waves crashing against it, strong enough to hike out till your bum touches the water. yet light enough to keep on the boat and not capsize. up wind especially was awesome. tiring no doubt. but really cool. haha. because when you hike out all the way you really feel like you are flying, speeding across the surface of the sea, watching the waves pass beneath you. it's a really nice feeling. perfect wind.

BUT the sun, oh my god, was so so so blazing hot. really felt like a deja vu. like march. one day and that's it - i got my stupid ugly yucky tan back. don't laugh at me. haha. what's worse i got 3 days to go. wen i get back to school i'll be really well roasted, top to toe. oh yay my fingertips are brown :)

there's alot of foreign sailors competing as well there's sailors from Germany, Myammar, Thailand, Australia, Japan, Hong kong, UAE, Indonesia and Belgium. pretty cool eh?haha they are also really good. and when we bathe there is so much chatter in the bathroom, which is actually normal, but now in so many different languages.

oh! and i beat Zeng Woon today =D wahahaha. second out of all the TK sailors - can't catch Clayton. 72 out of 140 plus? just okay only.

back to the boat tomorrow. i'll be dreaming of the boat, the crazily hot sun and sea tonight and hope it storms bad.

so well goodnight!

cheers.

SCHOOL's out!

2008-06-07T20:57:00.001+08:00

SCHOOL is SO SO OUT!

oh yeah.

ladies and gentlemen,sec 4 students of TK, the real school holidays have officailly begun!

no more school, no more classrooms, no more 1.5-hour lessons, no more boring subjects, no more!

however there's a catch - it only lasts for 2 weeks.

nevertheless, enjoy them while you can :)

i kick started my holidays with a movie.

Cherie and me went to see Made of Honor. i enjoyed it quite a bit. romantic and oh so sweet :)

basically it's about this casa-nova kinda guy, played by the lovable Patrick Dempsey, who doesn't believe in a real relationship and sleeps with girls all the time. But when his best friend, Hannah, goes to scotland and comes back engaged, he realises how much he actually loves her and as her 'maid of honor' he plans to crash the wedding and steal the bride from her charming noble fiance.

oh and the coolest part is that we got the ENTIRE cinema to ourselves!!! i guess it was beacuse everyone's already seen it. or they got deterred by the "please do not enter, we are getting the cinema ready for you" sign. whatever it was it was cool.

mmmm. nothing much left.

'cept happy holidays guys, have a good one.

cheers

typical.

2008-06-04T22:24:00.001+08:00

just one simple sentence:

school is so so boring.

especially when you put pyhsics, chemistry and emaths altogether. pure, pure torture.

but, it's just 2 more days. bear with it.

<3

oh and i love love love Mcfly's new single. it was aired for the first time on radio (british, unfortunately) on 1st june.

One for the radio - Mcfly

I can't wait for their new album, Radioactive.

I'm so buying it :D

reply to tag

jared: OF COURSE i'v heard it! haha.i waited like a few weeks for it. :) but it's not really out yet. they just played it on the radio. it'll be out on 14th july.

a little bit of everything

2008-06-02T21:28:00.001+08:00

Joan's saturday concert was awesome. i really enjoyed myself!

the songs they chose we so so nice, so sweet. though they were more modern and "hip" they were still lyrically as beautiful as hymns. the songs they sang almost had me in tears, don't know why. i guess i was touched by the lyrics, about how meaningful they were, they can easily put any other song to shame.

the worship afterwards was equally as good. really really inspirational. one of the best :)

thanks Joan for inviting us! had such a swell time =D

anyway.

ONE WHOLE WEEK of holidays have just disapeared...

guess where i spent it? IN SCHOOL. sigh. in the boring same-old super duper extra long truncated periods of normal lessons.

wait, theres more! IT's NOT EVEN OVER YET. one week to go. yep. wish me luck.

ah but what to do? sec 4s shouldn't be resting too much, just yet.

i also just discovered that temasek junior collage has stopped sailing.

well there goes one DSA option. one choice left- victoria junior collage, one which is quite clearly out of the question because i absolutely doubt they'll let me in. who want's this didn't-win-anything sailor when you can have all the national squad you want? hah.

so that's out. last option - study bloody hard.

so go share some love, have a laugh and those who can afford to play, idle and slack - enjoy your holidays.

for those still going to school - jia you! we'll all get to relax, a little bit, soon.

oh and Uzbekistan is trashing singapore right now. 6 to 3.

and he totally OWNED the other David last night. Simon had nothing but praises for him yesterday.

but i guess doesn't matter who won cos both of them will become great singers after this =) so gonna listen to his future music!!!

oh and i still love him, he's such a sweet humble good guy =D

theWinner

congrats Yug Han! haha

he won an ipod shuffle today for the fastest fingers first. we helped him lol!

theUnfortunate ones

eh those who didn't win?

yeah it was ~~bizzare~~ bazaar today =D

we didn't do very much sadly, rather we couldn't do very much, due to time constraints as the teachers only let us go play at 9.15

i ate the weirdest float-sold to me by my sister. lol. chocolate n vanilla ice cream with 100plus lemon!?!?!? yeaugh...

we got joan a personal flower-deliverer and tried to make him sing happy birthday to her. haha. we ended up singing to her ourselves lol!

we went for the funniest haunted house ever lol! okay it was slightly freaky inside but it was like so pitch black that we couldn't see anything anyway so the 'scarers' didn't really have an effect on us =P i'm sure cynthia freaked some of them out lol. screaming at the top of her lungs into their ears. oh and we were all in there screaming "visual purple!" lol. no idea why. bio students =P

i bought a helium balloon. we all did.

we were like really late for chinese cos we were supporting yuggy in his sms competition, which we helped him win. haha. but they didn't do very much in class either .

later we all went mad with helium haha. cynthia especially. she sounded so cute with helium! we even tried to make mr wee do it. he wasted one balloon though lol.

yup that was the bizzare bazaar for you.

Little turtle

2008-05-18T21:19:00.001+08:00

we saved this turtle yesterday. yeah it's a turtle. not just a turtle but a softshell turtle, a fresh water turtle.

guess where we found it? IN THE SEA! poor poor turtle.

we were playing frisbee on the beach when my brother threw the frisbee into the sea. as we retrieved it from the waves, we saw this poor thing crawl out of the water and onto the beach with it's last ounce of strength. once it got out of the reach of the waves, it stopped moving, probably to rest. not only was it ehuasted from fighting the waves and current in the sea, dehydrated due to the high salinity of the salt water it was also covered on blood. something must have tried to eat it or something, probably a bigger fish. we just stood there and watched it, so shocked to see it on the beach, half dead.

someone must have released it into the sea, without thinking. otherwise how would it have gotten there?

it was a soft shell turtle, the kind we eat and i think the person who released it must have bought it from a seafood restaurant and tried to release it to 'save' it from being cooked. though it came from a good intention, but there's no point trying to 'save' the turtle if you just throw it into the sea, where it isn't supposed to be, where it will die anyway. sigh some people just don't know.

anyway we carried it to the pond near the resort and put him there. haha. he was so happy to be back into fresh water that he started to swim around immediately, so happily. the picture is of him in the pond.

yeah. one animal saved.

the rest of the beach was nice.

Harry Judd (Mcfly) you are so right. Go:Audio is quite an awesome new band.

quite nice i must say. their newest single: Made up stories. out on 26th may.

Sister's isle and stuff...

2008-05-12T16:25:00.001+08:00

don't you just love camping?

on saturday my family and my friends family went camping on Sister's island, the small sister.

so it was like 12 people(my family 6, her family 6) plus a doggie on the beautiful island. haha. we got it to ourself, yes the WHOLE island, until about lunchtime. then the fishermen came.

i'll just chuck some pictures here...

our humble little campsite

we played on the beach...

climbed a little trees...

played soccer

and caught up on sleep, at least my dad did =P

we even brought Coral!

my mummy putting up the tent. haha they were tyring to get the flysheet up

we also brought hammocks. we slept in them at night cos there was not enough tents.

all the kids were in hammocks, well the bigger kids, it was like this small little hut with five swinging hammocks and five noisy kids in it. haha! it was quite fun at night

hanging around in the hammocks

er, andrew was eating a cookie. we brought loads of food. nice food somemore! other campers had maggi mee and other cliche camping food. what did we eat for dinner? meatball pasta and lamb! haha. almost gourmet food.

at night my dad built a campfire. it was so pretty!

haha. the boys were thrilled by it

they kept trying to put things to burn. they put a grape, newspaper,twigs, leaves, potato chips and alot more stuff. lol

the night was so cool! at first we were all sleeping in hammocks in the hut, listening to music, talking, then we all escaped to the tents cos the mosquitoes were eating us alive. so irritating.

then in the middle of the night, about 4 am there was a MASSIVE storm in jurong there was suddenly SUPER SUPER strong wind. stronger then i've ever experienced. my dad said it was at least 25 knots!! the most i've sailed in is 20 knots.thank goodness we weren't sailing...

anyway my tent and my sister's tent almost blew away. talk about stong wind man... seriously the tents were shaking like crazy, like there was an earthquake. and we were inside it. haha. sure woke me up.

the next morning we explored the rocky shore at low tide. loads of corals, anemones and seagrass.

Coral (the dog) came too. lol.

she jumping around the rocks the best.

great swimmer...

the lovely rey, mel and marjorie.

the rest: matthew, janice and cherie

melanie and the flower

er? haha

the adorably melanie again with a lollipop

took a boat back, yeah we took one there as well lol

random: we saw a tanker on the way.

yep, that was saturday and sunday! =D i wanna go again....

today

hah. screwed up all my papers. serious. all of them suck like mad. my L1R5 is like sure gonna be atleast 20-30.

also:

Happy Birthday to my cousin Lucas (in Belgium) and Clare Ahee (in Australia)!!!! =DDD

Happy belated birthday also to Hui Ying

Congrats to Manchester United. another EPL title woots!

replies to tag

sherissa: no worries! u still have time to catch up =) mine wasn't good either haha.

janice: yes! exams over. so happy!! but having relatives all over the globe isn't so nice cos you don't get to see them often. i miss them all.

jolene: haha thanks!

Easter Sunday

2008-03-23T18:54:00.001+08:00

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

Happy Easter Sunday!!!

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

sleep like a cat

2008-03-19T18:30:00.001+08:00

aren't cats so CUTE when they sleep?

eeh. what a face. she must've been dreaming...

nooo... not the camera again!

awww. so cute. she looks so peaceful. i wish i could sleep like her, no worries, not homework...

me loves 'em cats <3

an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

cheers.

blow wind blow...

2008-03-15T21:37:00.001+08:00

i am so red.

as RED as a lobster.

my face hurts so much and i bet my nose can glow in the dark. haha.

thats what you get from 5.5 hours? in the sun doing 4 TERRIBLE HORRIBLE races with REALLY stong wind!!!! and the gusts were terrible. i this was my worst so far =( so out of 5 days, we raced for 2 days. out of the total max races of 12 we only completed 7. out of the 2 days we raced i only came for 1 day so i missed like 4 races and my position is crap.

anyway today was torture cos the wind was really stong, everblowing. the gusts were even stronger and every time it hits my boat i almost get thrown off! the waves were quite small and the sun was MURDEROUS. sitting there in the boat with the hot sun glaring down at us, we could feel our skin practically frying and the sea water turn to salt on our legs. really really hot. my entire cornified layer is seriously BURNT. and thats only ONE day. imagine 5 days of such intense heat. 25hrs+ in the sun, wah we'll be well and truly roasted. also the wind was so strong and my hand is covered in blisters, though i was wearing gloves. and is was because of the gust that i got flung out of my boat downwind and lost my really nice position (i could have gotten 20 plus!) sob i took so long to upright my boat (that capsized cus i wasn't driving it) and all the people i was beating passed me. >.<

oh and zeng woon got pissed cos he missed getting a medal by TWO positions. haha. unlucky him. they only give to the top 5 and he was 7th. but of the silver fleet.

yep. enough of me ranting about my unfortunate race.

these are the Lazers by the way. i sail the Byte which is slightly smaller.

this is hilarously funny!

the best prank ever...

Enjoying your Holidays?

2008-03-13T16:40:00.001+08:00

Me? not really.

i just spent 3 days wasting time because of the crazy ,crazy weather.

today was SCARY.

ever been in a storm? today we were surrounded by 4 storms. FOUR! i haven't the foggiest why the committee boat still sent us out there but the wind was freaky-ly strong and the storms were like closing in around us. we were literally trapped, just watching the storm get closer and closer. better yet, they tried to start a race. i bet nobody wanted to sail then, especially after seeing the horribly dark cloud come. soon the dark clouds were above us and thank God they raised AP over A (means all races postponed, return to shore) and sent us back.

haha. i capsized on the way back to NSC but that was least of my worries. on shore it was UTTER CHAOS. really. the wind was so strong, combined with the high waves so many boats got swept onto the beach and crashed onto the rocks. it was really scary and dangerous and everyone was running up and down the beach getting trolleys and helping others out of the water in the rain. many boats got damaged. >.< i saw one sail got a whole strip ripped off! it must have capsized onto a rock or something. the rain was so heavy and it was pouring down so hard that the visibility was horrible and they had to make us all sign in at the race control office to make sure no one was lost at sea.

storms are really no joke. And we still hadn't managed to complete one single race.

but, it was fun cos after that we all played in the rain pulling up our boats and washing it, having water fights, throwing freezing cold water on each other, splashing in the biggest puddles(haha we were like little kids) fighting with the national squad sailors for the ping-pond table and running into the bathrooms for hot showers. Yep. good hard fun.

so i guess i admit that it's nice to have a break once in a while. especially with the sailors. we are one crazy hilarious bunch of kids.

oh and i realized that when you are really really cold( like when you are standing in the rain) your hair does stand on end, no matter how wet you are. mine was =P

No worries-Mcfly
We ran past strawberry fields and smelt the summertime
When it gets dark I’ll hold your body close to mine
And then we’ll find some wood and hell we’ll build a fire
And then we’ll find some rope and make a swinging tyre

Captivated by the way you look tonight
The light is dancing in your eyes, your sweet eyes

It’s times like these we’ll never forget
Stayin out to watch the sunset
I’m glad I shared this with you
Cause you set me free
Show me how good my life could be
How could this happen to me? Yeahhhohhh

And then I’ll swing you girl until you fall asleep
But when you wake up you’ll be lyin next to me (ba ba ooo)
We’ll go to Hollywood, make you a movie star (movie star)
I want the world to know how beautiful you are

Captivated buy the way you look tonight
The light is dancing in your eyes, your sweet eyes yeah

It’s times like these we’ll never forget
Stayin out to watch the sunset
I’m glad I shared this with you
Cause you set me free
Show me how good my life could be
How did you happen to me? Yeahhhohhh

There are no secrets to be told
Nothing we don’t already know
(bum bum bum)

We got no fears of growin old
We got no worries in the world

i like this song, nice and cheery... <3

yucky weather...

2008-03-12T18:34:00.001+08:00

it just

DIDN'T

STOP

raining!

today was a total waste. just like yesterday.

the wind was total crap. i won't be surprised if we don't race at all this week

then i'm demanding for a refund!

they kept making the "attention all, category 1 (lightning) until 1300 hrs (or whatever time)" announcement. and it rained so bad that there was no horizon left. talk about monsoon season...

all we did today was rig up, talk, play cards,eat, play hand phone, play more cards, play little hand games, talk somemore, play ping pong, eat again, fix school trolleys, pump tires, listen to music,play in the rain, de-rig the boat and go home.

yesterday was EXACTLY the same. hardly any sailing eh? it was supposed to be a sailing COMPETITION.

AND I JUST WASTED 2 DAYS!!! i could have been studying... >.<

haha. blame the rain and thunder storms. Grrr.

we had fun bullying THE CAT. =)

you know they always say that cats are really lights sleepers?

or rather i thought that they were.

my cat really isn't. she didn't even lift and eyelid when me and my sister piled the most ridiculous things onto her, glggling all the way. we could probably have drawn all over her face and she won't wake up! haha.

those with cats go try! see if your cat is a deep sleeper or not.

speaking of cats i thought this was really REALLY cute =D

anything and everything

2008-03-09T17:24:00.001+08:00

dear me i'm turing into a book worm.

i just read "message in a bottle" by Nicholas Sparks and i think it was the BEST best book i've read so far!!

it's sweet, romantice touching yet exciting

so calling all fellow bookworms who like touching ans sweet love stories, go read that book.

it's so sweet it made me cry.

yeah a good read.

oh and if you like it, "the notebook" is GREAt too!the other BEST book i've read. also by Nicholas sparks.

there's nothing to blog about these days really, 'cept maybe all the homework and tests and quizes and what-nots-that-you-don't-really-wanna-hear-about...

so don't expect me to be blogging much. today i just found some time, in between studying for tomorrow's bio and social studies tests... aw man.

so anyway i just thought this is a really really great and touching song. an old one by the way...

another day in paradise-Phil Collins

She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

my parents are officially becoming GRANDPARENTS. they are going for knitting class! O.O

even my dad. they want to get knitting kneedles. haha. they think is therapetic...

god we're getting old.

HOLIDAYS!

holidays?holidays?

a BIG FAT yeah-right to that.

a more like the 9 days given to finish a mountain of homework and buck on your week subjects which, for me, happens to be just EVERYTHING.

and what's more 5 days are gone due to the Ntional Youth Championships which is not so crucial like interschools but important enough and it's not like i'm gonna win anything anyway. so yeah that leaves 4 days? 1 day has to go to resting (at least!) so it's 3 days to finish homework and studying and all that and knowing me i'll probably not finish at all.

so woohoo for holidays...

I just love Mcfly <3

one of my favourites-the heart never lies.

pretty emo though. they're usually not like that.

me loves Dougie and Danny the best. ^^

I've got you

Jump for joy.

FUN.
