Rough and tough.

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!

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

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!

dan: yeah both cynthia and this post has answered that (: so if you don't mind a perfect love story with a little action you should read it (:

cyn: yeah, it's awesome. love it!

Temptation.

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

i bet you can't sing all the words! haha. because i can

this is cute! like my cat! (:

yup i'm bored.sorry for this nonsense post.

cyn: yeah! so scary...

Stone in my shoe.

 

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

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 (:
