A Birthday Phenomenon (though not mine :-p it is true to its word)

2010-04-19T21:35:00.000-07:00

A shock of shocks, I promise.
And as promised, Cleverly Inked had her coming of age (hush, hush) and gave an excellent review of her swag-gerific giveaway! So much happened all on one day that you have to actually sit - if you're standing - and will probably jump up - if you're sitting! (Do you really need to know how excited I am? Maybe more "!!!!!") And I suggest that happens now, I'll begin as she did, but skipping ahead to her prizes that could v. well be won (even a cake has been made, though that's not part of it, I'm afraid):

*BREATHE*
I think I just exceeded the limit of palpitations I can get when looking at so many pretty books! It's nerve-wracking, and thankfully there aren't more to scare me (though the amount is magnificent, isn't it?).
Unfortunately, there's non an entry that can go through me - I'm just the messenger - so you have to make it to her blog via http://cleverlyinked.blogspot.com/2010/04/birthday-phenomenon.html (which is a direct link anyway).

Have fun and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, LIZ!!! :)

Youth Mass

2009-12-21T05:45:00.000-08:00

Spiritual. Enlightening. Pure awesomeness ( thank you, Tiffany, for that word. It's stuck now :| )
Divine Mercy was different than Holy Trinity for masses.
I figure they got the comments kids made to liven up a mass with songs.
It was all there. My gosh.
Especially with the healing at the end - they were fantastic.
I felt something, possibly entering me. Then later, I just felt numb.
It was terrific!
Though I was able to smell something... Do priests wear cologne?
We had one from Novena, Father Parrera (I think it's spelt).
He was truly amazing, and I didn't need to go to him to see his work.
80-90% of the people that went to him were fainting (I won't say the simile here), from the light-hearted to the young-faces. My mom told me one of the girls was shaking. I never felt so in awe, or that tiny bit frightened. All part of the process, I guess :)

This only happens when a New Moon rises...

2009-12-05T22:55:00.000-08:00

I'm finally doing this blogging thing again. I missed this. The having no-word limit though, just that.
Honestly, how was New Moon for all of you?
It was worth it. I thank my God and Rachael and Shermaine for helping me when I was trapped within those two train doors. I didn't feel the pain till later, actually. Just numb, not immortal. ..Thankfully, I only got away with a scar on my forearm. Photos remain private though.
I'm just on my bum watching Twilight on Star Movies. It's fantastic as I remember (I love the baseball scene!). Of course I can't choose between Twilight and New Moon. Though the latter is definitely awesome. Best movie this year! Unconditionally. Except for that Kristen kissing Robert parts. Ugh.
I teared up like during Twilight. Couldn't see where. My eyes watered too much.. 4 or 5 times. Eesh.
Honestly, I love Edward to death. Bella in character isn't bad either. It's just.. figuring Jacob could care so much about her and it was touching. (It just happened till she only wanted Edward); for her to fill the void, the hole that was punched in her chest, but when she left him to find Edward. I found it cruel. She hurt him so much, even in the end, in wolf form you could see the pain. Even though Bella isn't exactly a two-timer (leetle bitty unfair).
[SHE IS TOTALLY OVERACTING! She sounds like a motorcycle..
My mom is getting Twilight.. but I must explain *sigh*
Her thoughts confuse me so much.]
And I heard from the special sneak interviews that there was an MTV blogger who won the chance to watch the special fight scene (she was the FIRST ever!). And Robert asked her as if he were proposing. I couldn't be more envious :( and envy is never good.
And I was completely frightened I might have broken my cable box (mom was livid and looked like a death-bringer while the thing went hay-wire) but I prayed - literally down on my knees since I had to throw something - and I asked Him to fix it. It worked. I trusted Him. Thank God.

ow ow ow

2008-11-02T20:57:00.000-08:00

seriously. my feet hurt SOOOOO much. i got blisters on top of blisters, scratches and the soles of my feet are fire engine-red! i really shouldn't have tried to walk in those stupid gel shoes! transparent, sturdy and causes pain. of course. i went to Bugis, actually, with my mom and we went to an eatery called Fisherio or something along those lines. turns out they were branched from Phin's and i absolutely adore that restaurant. i had fish & chips, though the fish was a little more than oily and so my mom had me try her chicken. we both loved it. we went to the library there and my mom found this Christian book, the chapters were written by Biblical standards. i can't wait to read it! (matilda actually told me before about First having Twilight in it, so i checked out the news stand but it was the only copy so i said i'll wait) but turns out there was another book i wanted and it was back at Pasir Ris, so she called my maid to the station and i changed to my slippers when the train ride ended. i had plasters all over my feet already and it looked so weird! but they eased the pain. i found plenty of books - they increased the whole thing to 8 books :) thankfully, my mom made a decision to check outside of the mall where another stand was and we found it! i figured God helped me more than sheer luck. now i got First and i'm so pshyced to read it! anyway, i definitely don't think i'll be able to make it to the class party anyway. ah, well. more time for me to sleep, then :)

Halloween barbecue

2008-10-31T23:58:00.000-07:00

We - mildred, her mom, my mom and me - went for my tuition teacher's barbecue at Downtown East Costa Sands' Resort. late, as usual. at first we made one gigantic round then we finally found the door. turns out, when we went outside to the pit, we could've actually just walked down a little bit and turned into the same place. almost everyone was there - a few girls and guys from mildred's class, other levels and nicholas. mdm lee was actually happy that i came because there was finally someone besides her own family that knew him. i wonder what happened to some of them, like yi ying and her brother, gabriel, deborah.. not that i knew all of them. but definitely the first thing the girls from the other class said to be was "Jade, emmanuel's here." and he went like that the whole night. i could've hit somebody. but i remained calm - whatever that was left anyway. mdm lee told me before that she said to them i had a crush on him - puh-leese. he denied it and so did i. weirdest thing was, when i came into a room, he went out of it. coincidental. most of the time they played 'catching', i was at the barbecue pit watching mdm lee's maid and nicholas cook the susages, ham, chicken and otah. he pronounced my name differently, something like "Jada", but so does everyone else and he's kind of musically inclined. he even brought his guitar. i have no idea if the game they played advanced to 'hide & seek' because two of the guys came into the room to hide and soon everyone started playing mdm lee's son's game - real childish one with mickey mouse and all that. i will never get the images out of my head. i got bored quickly, though, so when it hit 9, i went back outside with mildred to eat some dinner - i was pretty stuffed but i managed some type of chocolate ice-cream float :) and she didn't eat so she had sweet and sour pork. some of the guys went outside with mdm lee and her son to look at the Halloween parade. didn't get a chance to see any, though. i'm finding a way now to just wanting to get to KL which mildred's mom said had an enormous Borders! maybe i'll schedule something with rachael and her mom since we're too busy to go in december (which is when the other two want to go) for two reasons, 1) i want to watch Twilight!! & 2) my mom's got stuff on.
i just thank God that everyone made it back from the sports trip all right - well, besides the scolding some of them got but hey :)

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=4088318
it took me a while, but i found it after searching (for 5 minutes only :) ) through who its by, i check the videos (206 of them) and just click on the next one.
there wasn't a direct link from anywhere. ridiculously so.
the rest i need to look for is looking at MySpaceTV from Yahoo!.

and i'm totally exhausted. i had training today (instead of going for church con 1 camp). i had to call the girls that weren't there since marga, cheryl and samantha were confirmed at camp. none picked up (for the numbers i had only, though) but then sonia called me later. yun lin and sonia had to run 6 & i thought 5 rounds were a strain on me. thank goodness i made it before mr siddiq. mr fati had me use a stick i had my eye on for awhile. and i still have it now. and i was so up for watching him try to hit me with the ball (he was using a stick, of course) but he didn't manage, and i already was up against a wall, arms folded; right leg bent at the knee, foot on the wall (i was remaining cool and calm :) ha ha). plus, i had chloe hanging around me today. thoroughly creepy. anyway, i need my stick for floorball (it costs $60), but the blade's dinged up from the last time i tried it.
i went to white sands with matilda and michelle to have some lunch and i couldn't believe i saw the Twilight book in Popular but it had the movie cover (my mom told me about it)!!! unbelieveable. matilda also said she's going to get it even though she already has Twilight.
Farhana said her sister wants to get Breaking Dawn, so maybe she'll get the one with the tattoo :)
which was a question i wanted to ask: is it green or yellow? anyone can put their input.

one whole 'left hand'.

a closing

2008-10-23T23:37:00.000-07:00

it's over. school's finally out! (excluding CCA time during the holidays)
we had the End of Year Service today - and no, it wasn't a mass. sadly. we ran through the memories and pictures of the year, like Camp Corri and the Sports Carnival. then we had the indian dance girls perform and some malay girls sing - at least, i think they did. it was v. touching. and they gave out the prizes today. turns out, we did get Best Decorated Class! ha! and 3rd for the Inter Class Floorball Competition we had between the sec 1s - well, most of them anyway. we got a nail-clipper-bottle-opener combo. for it. well, at least it's... practical. i guess.
we got back our report books today. i didn't do as bad as i thought, actually. i got Grade 2 for english, as expected. i passed everything (mostly Grade 4s) except for my chinese. of course. Grade A for CMECS & dance, and C for drama. i got 12th in class and 23rd in the level. no one in either classes is going to express.
then i had training at 4 pm, so amira, michelle, claire and i wasted time at tampines mall and century square (i showed them the way from the bus stop opposite the church). we ate lunch (pizzas for me and michelle & spaghetti for claire and amira) at pizza hut (matilda went somewhere else with her group and i saw priscilla and her friends) and they had dessert at swenses. thanks to claire, i think everyone exceeded their budget. after we ate desert though, amira complained that the service was bad and they decided to write that down on the receipt. claire added some pictures and a "peace out". it was hilarious. even more so when after that we made a quick exit and michelle said she saw some of the waiters open the receipt book and look at it, then laughed. ha ha. we were laughing the whole way. but wasting around four hours (since 10+ AM) there is pointless and, trust me, we got bored, fast. we went back to school at around 2:30 PM. they wasted time, again. i read for most of it while claire played music from my phone. then training started, but fatin (1/1) had to run 10 rounds because of the money for the malaysian trip, i don't think she even told her mom that. the rest of us (fatin [1/8] came later and yun lin was on MC) ran 2. bad news: we played at the tennis courts. good news: it rained!!! i was sooo elated! but then i got bummed because i couldn't aim and shoot properly for the short practice (100 shots or so). actually, i didn't even score once, but mr fati said it was a "good try" every time. infuriating man! the ground was slippery (but worse on the basketball court) so we couldn't really run when we had to compete. and that was after it started to rain heavier. we were soaked, but i loved it :) there was definitely something wrong with my play since i kept hitting others' sticks not blades, but i managed two goals. i guess i was happy. sure. one time during the other match, i stood at one end of the netting and tried to think what went wrong but marga came up to me and asked if i was okay, so not much thinking was done. i told her that was what i was trying to do, but at the time i just said "thinking" and she took it as i was thinking about someone, not the game. which was possibly true. my thoughts were too muddled, so maybe i was. i can't really recall. but when i told her it was about the game, she just gave me that smile and said "uh-huh". jeez. well, I'm exhausted and my back hurts a little. i need to eat something hot. I'm still cold *shivers*
and i couldn't find episode 53 of Naruto, so i checked other places. turns out MySpace (http://vids.myspace.com/) has it - i check out "naruto episode ___<(english)" on either that or Yahoo!. i wonder how many more are there?... (58 is next)

2008-10-22T22:45:00.000-07:00

2008-10-22T21:57:00.000-07:00

yesterday, our pushcart project was a total success! we got about more than $40! at least, we think, since most of the money went into another sec 2s box (we had to share since we couldn't give the teacher's a cauldron) and we didn't count them yet. but the sales did go well. thankfully.

sadly, we didn't hear anything about a Best Decorated award.. *humph* we so should've gotten it! we spent hours, and money (more than given)! are we good or horrid? i can't tell. but we did extraordinarily. they used regine's Bratz doll (Jade. can you believe that? you'll see why i said so) and dismembered it! my gosh! the head was taped by the hair at the front door and sprayed with red (which I'm against. the whole spraying thing is bad for the environment) and i think i found its boot near the markers on the whiteboard. i mean, come on! jeezum. ah, well. it's over. i got pictures, though :) everyone was dressed up, too. most of them wore dresses, and yes, that includes me, shockingly. mine was above the knee, a brown tube dress with swirls of colour; short, brown crop jacket; brown slippers; and NO make-up. what do you think? :)

we watched The Haunting Hour in the library. not bad, i guess, but my eyes were casted down most of the time and i was hiding behind Nell :) i don't like scary movies. kind of obvious.

and we secured 3rd for the Board Games Olympics! not bad, really, since we didn't have a full team (like 1/4). and i got 3rd for Scrabble (i know, it surprised me too!). i lost to sarah (1/5) who got 1st (bigger shocker), abigail (1/4) who got 2nd - the isn't really a surprise. she is excellent in her English & we beat avriel (3/1). ha ha. it was enjoyable, all in all. and mr bob chen (BC. i finally know his name!) taught abigail, avriel and chelsea and me a game we could do with Scrabble tiles. it's really fun. one person (him) was supposed to be incharge of handing out the tiles which went in the middle; and once there's a word in the pile, we were to say the word then take it; the words piled up in the middle, but if we found a letter that could change the meaning of the word the other person had, like adding a 'b' and 'o' to 'dice' making 'bodice' (abigail's word), we could take the 'dice' away and it became ours (for this, we could switch the way the original word was spelt). it had to do with speed, mostly. it was fun, like i said, but mr chen kept taking our words away.. jeez.

oh, and i took a picture of the end of year results - well, a part of it :)

2008-10-17T00:49:00.000-07:00

9:44 AM

i'm in the computer lab now.
we had to do surveys about behaviour and some other stuff like our performing arts subjects and catholic welfare.
since i was mostly finished everything i took the rest of the hour to watch 'naruto' (episode 8) but i can't hear so well. i've mentioned before about my class being louder than loud, yeah?
i had to place my head to the hearing console just to hear.. *sigh*

well, to save myself the trouble, i'm putting in the web sites so it's easier for me to find it later :)

and sakura absolutely does nothing in these few episodes! talk about chicken! what she did, quoting her, was "just faint and fall over"

all right. i think we've done it. we figured out the decorations for our pushcart and classroom (tuesday then wednesday) in theme of Halloween. unfortunately, everything's confidential so i can't write anything down now. sadly, next week only. but for our classroom, all i can say it's cute and scary. and i may not come that day. seriously. if i do, i might also have to wear make-up.. maybe i'll ask Franziska? she is good. Letitia's going early that day to change, too.

today's also mr. koh's last day. he's going for his National Service. you know, you can't even tell how old he is. and of course he had to take pictures with us. i didn't bother going in. i just helped take the second one - it's no wonder he came in...

and we couldn't even watch our movie (harry potter 4) because we had to help out with the 'o' level arrangements in the hall. only us. it was exhausting. but miss yeo paid for drinks from the canteen for our hardwork. i had ice lemon tea (like 80 cents worth). man, i wanted CIP points...

then some of us had photo-taking today. i went with some of the SJAB girls - letitia, franziska, sarah and another one - in one of the bathrooms to change.

it took forever to find everyone and fatin (1/1) wasn't there because she was at malay camp.. we had to take some dainty pictures (euw) and i think i always shut my eyes when the flash comes on because my pupils contract (i hate bright lights). then we had a 'fun' photo :) i balanced on two benches, like i was surfing. whoo! peace!

and then my mom had to break the news that my laptop lost most of the files on the desktop. thankfully, i retrived my stories. but now we gotta call in a friend. jeezum. thankful to have him, don't get me wrong.

if i'm not mistaken, i just saw Neji. well, i say that 'cause the kid (a boy, apparently) had a mask on, had no.. well, yeah, was from the Village Hidden in the Mist (i'm not so sure if it's him now..) and, honestly, sounded like a woman. oops. if that was Neji, Regine's gonna kill me... *gulp*
but i still have this sinking feeling it was a woman. or, at least, not Neji...

'naruto' (episode 10)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iASmW0bWcuM

i knew it! i knew it! i knew it!
i know i'm never wrong!
well, it wasn't Neji, and it wasn't a woman either. 15-years-old.
Haku, yeah? he had on a fake mask of the tracking team or whatever they called it. he was one of the giant's (Zabuza) helpers. ha ha. sounds like a fairy tale. hmm. anyway i just searched for the names. turns out that both of them are exiled from that particular village.
i laughed a little bit when i found out that Haku was a he. oopsie. but, really, when he blushed, hel-lo, i thought he was a girl! anyway, there were blue-ish painted nails..
(the sound and visual don't sync, though)

oh, come on! Haku dresses like a girl (in pink) but he's a he?! i don't get this!
maybe he's bi-sexual?
even naruto mistook him for a girl and he still acted like one. well, he's good at playing a female, if that's what he's aiming for... but i highly doubt that.
oh. now Haku tells him. ha ha. that look is priceless! but he also has that, so... (around 7:46 [the time] in part 1)
but Haku's strong..

i better go and sleep now..
got training in the morning and i have to reach the school by 7:30 AM
*sigh*
which reminds me, where did i put yun lin's MC..?

(sticking episode 13 in here;
i wanna see it later)

2008-10-16T20:56:00.000-07:00

3:30 - 6:05 PM
i went through torture!
after so many days of not having training, we finally had one today and it was painful and sore! owwwww..
even our last training was watching other teams compete, we didn't need to lift a finger! everyone just bought KFC and dug down to eat, in our jersey and jeans, of course.
we had miss umaira play with us and she was good. it hurt. a lot.
i got a small cut from the ball on my hand and got stroke at my lower leg!! again! thank you, fatin..
anyway, i somehow managed to score and thankfully it was played in the hall. thank you, Lord, it rained!!!
I'm too tired to write much now, so I'm gonna crash. literally.
au revoir.

OH, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOP IN THE WHOLE N/A LEVEL FOR LIT (Grade 3) AND ENGLISH (Grade 2)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was sooo afraid i couldn't get a good grade! but when the teacher was going to announce the top for English, i thought she was going to say 1/3, but when she said 1/2, we all cheered. i was on my hunches and fell back onto the black box (we were in the drama room). ouch. but i was too psyched to care!! yeah!! when she said my name "Jade Teo", i screamed!!!!!! jacqueline and franziska kept telling me i'd do well.. *sigh*
i knew for lit only after i figured out who scored the highest in 1/3, which was claire. but she got Grade 4 and you can see what i scored, so, you do the math :)
i don't even care if i annoyed everyone by saying that!!
i still got it!!!!!!
i got Grade 3 for Science
and
Grade 4 for History.
what can i say?
I'm surprised, for one.
and for Geog, Math and Chinese...
jeezum.
Well.. my daily work for Geog would pull me up, i hope. I've done v. well for the whole year, including for my self tests, which I'm close to scoring full marks, so I'll probably pass or something.
i was soooo close to passing everything! around 2 to 4 marks away, or something. but for my Chinese, guess what? I'm really close for my paper! 24 1/2 / 60!!! around 6 marks!!
frick!
*humph*
and now, thanks to John, I'm not using "! love Sasuke!" anymore..
i still do, but...
darn him!!!!!! and i meant, John...
he had to say "... and whats with your nick?"
i could strangle him!!!!

me???

2008-10-14T18:24:00.000-07:00

all righty then. we had to play board games in the morning, like i said so before. there was Pictionary, Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, Chess. anything else? hmmm. well, i played Scrabble with zarifah, eunice and rasmi at first. we never bothered with keeping score. neither did we - zarifah and i - with franziska and meleah. but the teacher, mr... well, BC (his initials), helped the game with zarifah, sammi, mavis and me. he asked if we were keeping scores, we said no. of course we wouldn't bother. but he showed us the 'real game of Scrabble'. it was fun. i can't believe i actually had to have his help with WORDS!!!! i mean, this isn't chinese! jeez! what's wrong with me? well, i haven't done it in a while.. ah, just to save myself... pathetic, Jade, reeeal pathetic. anyway, managed, i scored mostly 20s and i won in total. well, he did help, but, still... anyway, some of them were shouting for me to get into the competition. oh, did i mention we have a competition for the board games next wednesday? whoopee... and guess what? I'm in Scrabble! frick! frick! frick! i can't do this! I'll panic, or something. man.. but i got no choice, my name is stuck. shoot.

and apparently we're supposed to be having Be Yourself Day with the theme as Halloween. hmm. maybe I'll do gladiatress? :)

we had to clean class a little before recess. after i helped sweep up a little with regine and li feng, we just sat around, talking about 'naruto' :) regine actually bought before from another country a key chain that had a YOUNGER SASUKE on it!!!!!!!!! I'll kill her!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, turns out, zarifah also watches it or either knows the characters, or is that rasmi? she actually likes Shino and Kakashi sensai. and if I'm not mistaken, on the bus to the bowling centre at safra, rasmi said she liked sakura (ick!), Itachi (Sasuke's brother) and someone else, maybe Ino? anyway, zarifah - or is it Li Feng? - said Neji (the one regine likes) is a pervert! euw. oh yeah, li feng! she said neji peeks, through the blinds or that japanese paper board thing that separates them bathing, at the girls. gross! she read it in one of the manga books but she can't remember which one. regine and li feng both say Sasuke isn't all that nice. ah, screw it! *humph* he is soooo!!! well, after recess, we got our bags and headed to the sunken foyer. 1/7 was there with us. of course, some of the girls in my class were too loud and they got a scolding from mrs teo (from the primary school). mr. koh (BK) and BC were the teachers-in-charge. when we got to the centre, the place was already filled at some places - the pool table, regular tables, two bowling lanes - by mostly, i think, ITE students. the two coaches were alvin and fitria. really nice. alvin was funny. he made a lot of jokes but still got the intructions and points across. we had to practice the different techinques to throw the ball and the positioning. ridiculous. but jessica managed to score a strike. good for her. of course, BK's position stunk the whole time. right leg lifted, left arm left go and he was bouncing a little on his left foot. during the game we had, she said from that time, who could score a spare or strike would get chocolate. i got treats -two chocolates - like a dog! :) ha ha. so, you can guess what happened. almost to the end, i told jessica that it'd be easier to hit the pins (since she told me she was loosing) if she imagined BK's face on them. she said "yeah, yeah, yeah" or whatever. and he heard me, obviously. he said to knock me down or imagine they were me since I'm "so pro." and that, quoting him, "she's secretly pro. but just humble".. numb nut. and BC, well, when i scored my first 0, he called me over. he told me i had force but the ball was aimed too down and kept on bouncing. he sent "bend your forward knee". second time i did it, that's when i got my strike! he asked me for a high-five when i passed him, i went back to give it. in the end i scored 72 and beat everyone - my team (13) : rasmi, tharani, florence, verena; other (14) : cheryl, jessica, naomi, BK, BC. but in the after game, i got 23. not bad since we didn't have time to play the whole game. just 1/4 of it. so.. short, miniature, pathetic score. ah, well. after the thing was finished, li feng, rachael and i had to stay for a while with the bus as the teachers talked to our parents about letting us go home from safra. it worked. li feng had to run for her bus (it was on our side of the road but still quite a distance) and so did we (across the road and still some distance). but we all made it.
i saw roxanne from pasir ris crest, or rather, she saw me first and waved, at White Sands when we made it back. ah, well. again.
i need to put my book, girl overboard, on the dining table, want to return it... if i can get off moi lazy bum :) ha ha

and it is Sasuke, but in the show, they don't pronounce 'u' in the name v. clearly. so, my bad.

my Sasuke....

okay. i've done completely over.
i've even started playing the games on www.cartoonnetwork.com
and turns out, regine was a 'naruto' fan back then. she liked both Sasuke and neji - whom i finally know what his looks are like.
anyway, i tried Chunin Showdown. i chose 'easy' cause i didn't even know what the game was. turns out, it was pretty easy. i picked Sasuke as my character. no surprise there. then i played against the computer who chose neji, naruto then gaara. i scored 90051. i beat all three! i won! whoo!
then i tried the Star Students thing. not bad. quite enjoyable.
character: Sasuke. (no duh!)
level 1, assessment of skills:
enemies defeated: 16 (that isn't so bad, but, i'm just a little chicken :) ha ha)
accuracy: 72%
grade: C (hey, i passed!)
score: 11600
level 2, assessment of skills:
enemies defeated: 18 (okay, 2 up, but still, improved from 'chicken'. maybe 'chick'...)
accuracy: 39% (i went nuts when i had to throw the shurikan. i got killed almost immediately into the second level. so scared for him i just started shooting blindly)
grade: B
score: 24750
anyway, i better stop. i might get too addicted. which is, of course, bad.
instead, i'll do something a goody-goody like me would: write :)
i haven't done that since the exams started. two darn weeks! well, i got a lot of time to catch up anyhow.
yay!

i'm up!!! (...to speed)

2008-10-12T03:22:00.000-07:00

i seem to be more awake at night, but that always happens, so, what's the difference?

rachael, her mom, merissa (rachael's cousin), her mom, moi and my mom went to vivo city today. i never met merissa or her mother before, so, first impressions were up. i was, however, playing with rachael's phone at the time - a racing game, of course. anyway, we had lunch there. the beef was a mistake - two mistakes: one, it tasted off; and two, rachael thought it looked like liver - but i found a heart-shaped mist-droplets thing on my drink. see it?

it's a bit fuzzy, but it's there.

they, of course, had to go shopping right after lunch. they went to a mart that sold $2 items. i took pictures along the way, including one of a 'sky park' sign and it was soooo cute! honestly! and mom bought some cups - like white and dark chocolate - and bowls, like for ice cream. mmm. there was one we saw that was a 102 ft. Christmas Tree! ha ha.

i went to the PageOne with her, also. it was still large as i remembered and it still took me a while to find out where the 'young adults' section was. i took pictures of some books for fun and they did look interesting anyway. i recorded some of them into my phone's memo pad, just in case any of them were in Borders, Popular or Kino., so i could get a discount.

before, i took some pictures of myself in different sunglasses. totally egotistical of me, i know. but i like taking pictures, and i wouldn't allow anyone else to have any of me anyway. and i tried on this shirt, nice, but quite translucent. gross. rachael and merissa both bought the same - excluding the sizes - pink shirts and black shorts, which would go nicely together. around $30+, if I'm not mistaken.

at the same shop, nichii, where i tried the shirt, i saw this terrific shirt! i loved it! terrific because of what it said:

anyway, now I'm just enjoying myself, watching the two other episodes of Naruto - 4th & 5th.

4th:

I'm still soooo into Sasuke, that when we were at this shop, trying out coloured pens, i used the bigger end of a dark green calligraphy pen to write "Sasuke" :) too bad i couldn't take a picture of it... *sigh*

my Sasuke...

late...

2008-10-11T02:56:00.000-07:00

i am finally able to use my laptop. i feel so far from it.

anyway, I'm finally here and my news is reeeal old..

...like a day :)

i had written everything down on my PDA, but, it fell and the battery came out. died. data lost.

ridiculous, i know, but it's free anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's broken.

well, now I'm just putting random pictures in here, hoping I'll remember.

let's see now...

oh, y'know, i drew this after the English writing part of the exam that morning. i was that done.

anyway, i wrote with the title "silence".

about three girls mindy, cindy and alia sollomon [according to age], having a séance for their mother (i really forgot if i left that part out). they went into wannaweep forest (not a v. original name now, is it?) to do it on a creepily, coincidental cliché night. (ah, well.) they walked through this muddy path (more description i can't remember) and through the trees, which had their arms stretched across above them, like arms blocking out the moonlight, except for those tiny dust-specled shafts (i got that from a book :) ). and they did it, though. the séance went as planned, on a small plateau (i spelt that word wrongly, though; 'a' first before 'e') in a bathe of moonlight, however, the light got blocked by a rolling cloud, and alia [of course being the smallest] ran off, breaking the circle. mist engulfed her and her sisters went off blindly in search of her, holding hands to keep from seperation. mist obscuring their vision. alia finally found her way back to the spot, but no sooner had she got there, the mist engulfed her. she screamed. silence. the sisters, though, made it to the main road, and tried hitch-hiking. a car was coming, but blinded by the headlights, mindy [eldest] thought the driver wouldn't be able to see them, she stuck out her hand to flag it down. something - someone - nabbed her, and she grabbed her sister. the car's engine roared down the road. silence. the next day, it was pronounced that the three sisters were missing. the butler gave the newspaper to mr. sollomon [who was also known widely of having a fatal emotional state], wanting his money. mr. sollomon sooner got a heart attack from the shock, bellowed. silence.

the last paragraph i added about the newspaper thing might've been too much and unnecessary, but i can't do anything about it now. it's been more than a week since that exam. i'm amazed i can still remember some of my story. and yes, a week. our exams went on for two weeks - nine days, rather - since they, i believe, wanted to pace us. one day, one part of the subject. the tougher ones were the later five days. english and chinese in one (my best and worst), and history, literature, geography, math then science. i liked the lit paper, i was able to write, thankfully, but the poem we got was express. i could still do it, though, many of my friends (from both streams) say it was hard. i don't get that, but i didn't write much. a page.

there was this one night, my maid made for me my snack. fruits, of course. and i actually found one in a shape of a heart, but i accidentally dropped that piece..

last monday, i watched Formula 1. letitia should've kept anyone posted since i couldn't use my laptop. anyway, regine and i, of course, liked roseburg, and he scored second! yeah! massa lost his touch. i thought his ego was getting to him and he drove with unrealistic standards of his big-shot win. plus going off with the fuel hose. everyone was talking about it. i remembered one of the drivers - may be him - throwing his helmet into the river. hot head. ha ha. and, oh yeah, jacqueline and franziska obviously wanted their darling hamilton to win - he got third. ha!

okay. more recent: i went out to long john silver's near the bedok interchange with regine, rachael, charlotte, letitia, claire, kimberly, mavis, jacqueline and sammi. it wasn't bad, but i couldn't finish it there, so i brought that texas chicken back. not bad, really, but i don't think i'd want to go there for breakfast for a lone while.

priscilla told me that the back of me was on the school's web site for floorball. how the heck did they get it? mr. fati, probably. one of it is of me and marga on the basketball court. man...

my ABSOLUTE LOVE: SASUKE!!!!!!!!!!! i know, weird, having japanese coming out of my mouth, but hey, it's cool. it's on cartoon network every weekday at 2 and weeknight at 10, for about 25 mintues. show's called 'naruto' and my mom totally disapproves of it. "won't help your english" she says. ah, well. i like it. i've seen the first three episodes so far and i love the third. the second had nothing on Sasuke. and the first showed him graduating and transforming into the teacher. lovely. he's perfect. and did i mention that his voice was reeeeal deep and manly? *sigh* they said at the end second episode, when they had a sneak peek, that naruto was going to play a prank on someone but i wasn't so sure if it was on Sasuke or sakura. still not sure. and i reminded myself that if sakura laid a bloody finger on Sasuke - let alone try to KISS him! - she's really gonna have that problem! thankfully, she didn't because it wasn't him and naruto - transformed into Sasuke - had to run for the can anyway. ha ha. but she was close. anyway, third was hilarious. naruto was squatting in front of Sasuke on the table, they were so close, they did eye-fencing. boys.. but naruto accidentally got bumped on the butt and kissed my Sasuke! i had no idea whether to be appalled or to die of laughter. ha ha. and when i really was smitten and my heart lept was when afterwards Sasuke - the REAL one, i know it. i hope - called sakura annoying! YAY! boo-yah! he doesn't like her! or anyone!

i'm now watching the third one over and over (there are two parts):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whDMGZwZRG8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIi4wlldbo&NR=1

just yesterday: we - gillien, farhana, rachael and jean (i had to introduce) - went to cathay cineplex. well, actually, the plan was cathay, but we went somewhere after. it was troublesome in the morning when farhana was late; rachael had eaten breakfast in school; jean was not done with her math exam till 10 a.m. and gillien's phone was OOA (out of action; yes, my own word). done so, i wanted to read. time passed, quickly, though. we took the train and once we reached tampines (from pasir ris station), i called and farhana got on. she had to stand, with rachael and gillien. i think farhana and rachael were both wearing high-tops, like me, but theirs were black. i sat with jean. we actually only had food at cathay. no hot foreign guys. just 'subway'. farhana said it was just because it wasn't a sunday. of course. then rachael had to go to bugis to pick up a blouse for her mom. so we decided to accompany her. but farhana wanted to have a stop at the HMV first. actually, she skip-ran for it. they played 'girlfriend' by avril and a japanese song called 'miss you' by yuma ito (i actually liked it & hopefully i got her name right), but most of the time i listened to burnin' up and all from the jonas brothers cd, like 'burnin' up'. apparently, jean's into the mcr (my chemical romance) songs, like farhana; but unlike farhana, she only likes the songs, not the guys. after that all, we went to starbucks. of course farhana, rachael and gillien wanted to have their pictures taken under the starbucks sign. i took it. credits to me :) anyway, we stayed for about an hour or more there. and there's one thing... i reeeeallly am NOT going to mention this. horrible. jean did write it on her blog, i think. that's what she told me she was going to do anyway. that embarressing incident with the bathroom and that i think her brother was better looking than most of the guys in singapore, which is true, and one that she tried to kill me over. seriously. rachael had to block her from me and everything. later, farhana decided to play a prank on rachael and gillien, since they were walking to fast, we tried ditching them a couple of times. like when they went down the escalator, but they remembered us and at the bottom basement, they were waiting. another was when we were downstairs at the station (did i mention before that the station looked completely like a ghost town when we first arrived that day?) and then when we got out of the train again, we walked, sort of, the other way from them, and when they found us, they thought we were slow in going their way. ha. what a laugh. anyway, they split off to find the blouse, while farhana followed me and jean to the library. yes, the big bugis one, and farhana did go. she said it was fun, but i think it was mostly because of the fact she wanted to take pictures and it was 'fun' to be playing hide & seek since the place was so huge. i found her a book called 'curse of the mega-boobed bimbos' and she laughed the whole time i was trying to take a picture of her with it. the other two found us, eventually, since they were done before us and did a little shopping by getting some plastic sunglasses. we went upstairs later, when they were getting sushi, the three of us went in search of some songs and stuff at gramaphone (farhana bought a metro station cd and something else). on the ride home was crowded and late at night. when it cleared somewhat, jean went to sit down and her, rachael and i discussed about the show 'naruto'. we said about this girl with short blue hair liking naruto for reasons we couldn't begin to imagine (i think her name was hinata?); naruto liking sakura (reasons also we couldn't fanthom; i mean, who in their right mind would like that shallow, egotistical, boistrous, ANNOYING hag?!); and sakura liking Sasuke, which all the girls do anyhow. jean said it was a "love rectangle" but i said since my hottie Sasuke didn't like anyone, it was like a "love line". they agreed. of course. and i also told them before we got onto the train that none of them was to EVER dye their hair pink! euw! plus, sakura makes it so obvious with her "Sasuke, did you see that?", "oooh, Sasuke, Sasuke", "i love you, Sasuke, i just want you to accept me". and okay, i'm quoting a little from episode three. but it's etched into my cranium. what an idiot. and so, that's it for the day, unless i'm forgetting something which something else would trigger later onwards anyway.

today: our last day of catechism. on the bus to church, i made a friend, rachael's actually, joy. she said i had a nice accent, like british and didn't expect it to be coming out of my mouth. she actually thought i was jolene before, so that has fueled me to loose weight. that, and the picture of me on the school web site. the guys played soccer and captain's ball (with the girls) and i think timothy was helping us out during the latter game. odd. not that we need it but... still, odd. anyway, i was talking with alex (i got her number later), claire, sophie, cassandra and jillian, mostly, while the others played captain's ball. jill said her 'type' was, i think, like the guy shawn. whoo. when priscilla passed me the ball, yes i got it, but when i had to pass it to one of the guy's, i chose dominic. hit him in the back, shoulders. i mean, c'mon, i was aiming for his head! frick! but sophie said it was a good attempt, 'paralyzing' him, probably. the guys yelled foul, but i didn't care, and i didn't see his face. shock, more like. i don't know. we were at the court near the playground and one of the small boys, like 10-years-old, with a bamboo pole was singing 'ma-ma-mia'. ha ha. we ate pringles and fish balls. it was fun. but i don't know about camp... if i'm going, that is. i don't know HOW, but i think jolene managed to 'persuade' - using THAT term lightly - jean to go. four guys - carl, shawn, ryan, trevor-, four girls - claire, jean, jolene, priscilla. i still don't know but he, catechist Richard, kept my space open. thank you. and jolene said that i should be thankful she wouldn't use any of the photos she took of me for, and i quote, "blackmail"! i mean, c'mon, what is With her?! anyway, i went straight home and so did jean and rachael. amazingly, on the bus, i managed to cut my right ring finger... a little one but it could be opened a little. yuck. i think, it was by my pinkie nail. crud. ouch. anyway, now i'm home, reading the first book of the series 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU (almost finished!), and watching episode three.

i looooooooooove Sasuke!

pronounced as "sas-ke".

don't know why...

but who cares? :)

i need him!!!

*sigh*

Formula 1

2008-09-27T23:59:00.000-07:00

i just watched it at 10 PM.

it was so furious! whoo!

i reeeeally hope no one gets hurt..

i'm praying that.

it's mine, mine, mine!!!

2008-09-27T23:57:00.000-07:00

i just wrote down some points for another story around 10-11 something PM.

i told Jean that just now.

i think i might finish this one.. if i can find the right...

:D oops, better not say too much

so close!!!

2008-09-26T18:45:00.000-07:00

it was soooooo close!!!!
till Chinese..

we had an almost, free-period day!
mrs teo didn't come, no math; history and lit were filled with going through points that we - mostly, meaning them :D - knew already; for science, we just had to write down comments for mr ng - no comments (but i wrote REAL ones for him); in IT, some groups still hadn't done their podcast project (and, apparently, it counted for 20 marks in ENGLISH), mine had to stand since we didn't even know the name we put on the list, turned out, we were Coloured Athletes and we could sit back down (that was after we "stated our case"), we did our own stuff, so fun; then came you-know-what.

thankfully, i was able to skip most of the lesson as for most of the time we had to clear out our class for the exams on Friday (i helped out with franziska and zarifah's tables - no shows), and had to go around the school, dumping stuff in the recycling bin and going again to the General Office to put away jessica's stuff. who knows when she wants it back?! but peh lao shi gave us a little bit of problems, saying to rearrange the whole seating arrangement mr ng did (he said it himself that he was "k-po"). when i came back, we finally got work. horrible. even if it was just copying and she gave us the answers.. all right, maybe i shouldn't be complaining, but still... no troubles for me, just hand cramps.

after school, we had to stay back to see mrs stevensons for the pushcart project we have to do (not graded) after the exams. I'm on the cooking team. yay! i can't wait! but obviously i have to..

hence the title "so close!!!"

last time

2008-09-22T21:59:00.000-07:00

awwwwww. it was our last lesson today for D&T.

mr ng gave us our 'exam' and apparently, we're faster than our other batch. ha! (& something else, as well - complimenting us :) )

we took about half to 45 minutes while they took "2 hours" or something close to that.

we had to write down the techniques and designs for a case scenario. susan had loads of jewelry but had them all thrown into her drawer, she couldn't find the things she needed quick enough. he said something about a jewelry box but i did mine on a statue/figure with hooks and hangers on it, it's in stores already and i thought it'd be a good idea. i drew it out on the paper for letitia to look at.

after our test, we went down to the workshop. we made the flower holder (the flower is mine, put in when i got home) and some did the keychains again but we didn't have the rings. i almost lost my fingers when i had to round and buff the wing i made. too tiny.

my week off & a new friend

2008-09-20T23:47:00.000-07:00

awesome!

my best friend Jean got a blog, finally!

i think she created it yesterday but i just checked my Es today, so yeah :)

and i went with rachael and our moms to parkway today. of course, i went to Borders. daddy gave me allowance and since there was this discount of we bought three books, i got the ones i want! well, mostly. i got my Artemis Fowl and the Time Paradox (so far, I'm at my seventh chapter) - which is why it's strike out from my wish list, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief & Camp Confidential - Over & Out (there were two others i wanted - Jenna's Dilemma & A Fair To Remember - but the latter one was torn a little at the corner and i couldn't find the earlier)

there is also one place farhana, rachael and i want to go after the exams. apparently, yes, it's worth wasting time there. i can't say why now.

now I'm watching the video of The Time Paradox. I'm uploading it anyway. didn't manage to do it the last time.

there's also a game: Artemis Fowl's Inner Circle :) it's so fun!

I've been busy this week with everything and the up-coming exams so i haven't been writing in a while.

so, I'm writing it now.

MONDAY

next week is our D&T exam and we're making the flower holder. we glued on our pencil holder with the glue gun, made a bowl and a key chain, which was the last minute thing. check it out :) inclusive: the heat was UNBEARABLE

THURSDAY

i had my English oral and interview for the Student Leadership - we found out yesterday :) i was a nominee... hopefully, I'll get in. I'm praying hard. i really want this. i got ms. pilo for oral, but she mostly paid attention to netto instead of the rest of us. and for the interview, they were asking us about loyalty to the school or to our friends, giving us a case scenario - about your classmates eating in class, you went over to tell them not to, a teacher saw and called all you out- , from that which they asked stuff like "what would you say to the teacher in front of your friends?" "what if they were your closest friends, will your answer still be the same?" "what if you had to tell that to seniors, like if you're sec 1 and they're sec 4?" "will you be afraid if they disowned you?" stuff like that and they also said to rank Studies (1-2), Student Leadership (1-2), Family (1st) and Friends (2-3).

twilight puzzles

2008-09-12T20:20:00.000-07:00

i finally tried them again after a while.

what fun :)

found

2008-09-12T15:32:00.000-07:00

well. i found this picture. can't remember where that went in here. but i remember where we were. Tampines Mall. which is also where I'm meeting everyone tomorrow for floorball. we're gonna see match. and I'm gonna get the 8 Days. yay!

8 Days & 15 km

2008-09-11T21:41:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna get the magazine from Claire.

There's an article on it of the Twilight movie!

I'm gonna scan it :) *sing-song voice*

she said it's to be on Dec 18.

98 days!

MAN!

*pout*

oh, and we went to the gym today for floorball. we had to pay $2.50. a mess to find our way there. and we had to WALK, with our heavy load. uuh. *shudders* kenshang or something, in Bedok. it was so cool. but I've been to one before, with Rachael. i love the treadmill. what fun. i think i did 7.1 km, in 32 min, my speed was 6. and i lost 155 calories. now that, i remember. for this, i had to cycle. ridiculous. i haven't cycled in ages. around 8+ km in 15 min and burned off 42 calories. not bad, i guess.

------

guess what? now i remember something. i finally submitted my Self Nomination form for the Student Council. man. praying! hopefully, i get in. I'll know what God thinks if I get in. mmm. *shuffles feet* I'm so nervous..

2008-09-10T22:29:00.000-07:00

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!

M&Ms!!!!! mummy got different ones.
besides the weird bulk (which i don't mind),
they have pictures!!! something about Indiana Jones...

esplanade & cupcakes

2008-09-09T20:51:00.000-07:00

Esplanade:

one word?

whoa.

in several? well.

1/2, 1/5 & 1/6 had to go to the Esplanade to watch "Off Centre" by The Necessary Stage (i think that's the name, though). We took the bus there. I sat with Rachael, Claire & Letitia were behind us, Kathleen & Charlotte across the aisle and Sammi behind them. Besides Sammi, the six of us played Truth Or Dare and something like '5 things we don't know about each other'. v. fun. unfortunately, there had to be a slight glitch when we got to the Esplanade. Charlotte, possibly - since we couldn't find it in her bag, left her phone on the bus. I don't know if she got it back. And, of course, I took pictures of the place. Hadn't been there in a while. Like I said, whoa. Apparently, it takes about three months to clean one dome. And the salary is off the chain! around the ten-hundreds. yeesh. goody for them. and they have to work year round. Rachael wanted to work there. definitely plenty of money. not sure if it's so easy, though. The tour was a little long lasting, but enjoyable. When we made it to the theatre, it wasn't as breath-taking as the 'arena'. Did i mention there was a Peranakan restuarant there? mmm. I took notes in the play and tried to draw out the setting. However, before the play started we had to make way. And my whole row kept switching places. There were three girls from a different school, and another bigger one - coed. nice. I believe they were upper sec. Their vocab was.. higher than my classmates. :D and I had to explain what one of them said to Claire and Letitia. It was funny that I could understand them and the play. But it was terrific. afterwards, when we had to depart, i called my dad but when i heard my step'mum''s voice. i freaked. and I thanked God when i could go home with the rest since the bus hadn't come until i hung up. man. euw. of course, there was a traffic jam. hmm. I thanked Him, again. figured He had something to do with it. and that's about all i can remember. i must've soaked most of it off. I'm hungry. snack time. mum's calling.

....mmmmmmmmmmm....

Cupcakes:

auntie Evonne made some cupcakes for me. thank you. i took a picture of two green icing-coated bears and one of the cupcakes. mmm-mmm :)

Lit Show

2008-09-08T17:34:00.000-07:00

it was up a long time ago but i just took a picture of it today. the Literature Showcase. mine and rachael's was the only one from 1/2. 17/20, baby! whoo! unfortunately, the "b" from "elizabeth" dropped out somewhere. oops.

rain & sweat

2008-09-05T15:44:00.000-07:00

make it to school at 8:30 & enter school at 12.

we had floorball at the tournament building, see, near kallang leisure park.

we ran two rounds around the inside of the building since it was raining. i got pictures from another day that was clouding over. awesome, really. cheryl, fatin (1/1) and matilda didn't make it. mr fati brought down some sticks that was a black stick with yellow patterns. it smelt of rusted metal. euw. and it reminded me of pikachu. hmm. he taught me another move; like a harder strike at the ball. my wrists flicked during the whole training, and got kinda painful. man, i'm gonna be sore tomorrow. he let us play with coloured balls. i chose a green one but it kept getting lost and yun hui had my gold one which got lost in the lot, as well. messy. anyway, what's done is done. i gotta soak in the bath. ciao!

brain cancer?

2008-08-29T18:45:00.000-07:00

i found one web site that said using handphones on the left ear is safer and don't make/answer a call when the battery bar is at it's lowest because the radiation is v. high

go fig. farhana called - i think she and kim got me my wing key chain- and i had to use rachael's handphone which was almost flat and on the right ear. no wonder i got that splitting headache.

2008-08-29T18:05:00.000-07:00

all right. i just checked. Twilight movie on Nov 21!!!!
they moved it up.
dec 12.. dec 24.. three weeks earlier... nov 12...
they love changing this stuff.
Countdown: 84

"shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it!"
we had our ACES Day dance today.
what fun.
i think everyone - sec 1s & 2s - was mostly confident of the chorus.
sec 3 student leaders showed us the dance.
it was hilarious.

i missed seeing evelyn, angel and manju because my friend and i had to meet our moms at the carpark. frick.
i did see mrs chew, though. she hasn't changed much.
unfortunately, i couldn't see Mrs Liew - continuing her studies - and Mrs Ng.

2008-08-28T21:23:00.000-07:00

regine, rachael and i wanted to go to Tampines Mall. emma was meeting us there. but regine had to go home and put her books down. no way was she carrying the box the whole way. so, while she went upstairs, rachael and i played in the playground.

i need the loo, so i'll make this shorter than short.

we split. i went with regine to look for flowers. let her see the wing i want. red roses with white wrapping. $1.80. 8 of 'em. $14 something.

done.

alone at last

2008-08-27T16:23:00.000-07:00

my wing / my heart / my mess

2008-08-25T18:50:00.000-07:00

this is so nice!!!! i was drinking root beer and just slumped forward to relax and when i came up i saw a heart from the liquid i drank on my bedspread. so.. neat? ha ha.

i found this wing in a store. i forget the name, though. it's part of a key chain. at Century Square. maybe someone could get me this for a belated birthday present? it's beautiful, no?

we had D&T today. what fun using a machine to scare the snot out of a person. and the stories.. jeezum. not repeating it, though. you'll have to ask Mr. Ng. but mine turned into a mess when i decided to add a silver glittered wing to the top-base of my photo frame. everything showing turned gruesome. sliding down. i had to wipe off my fruit vine later because of the horrible contrast. argh. the rest became like that. which means the wing's gone, too. frick. flippin' frick. well. at least i have that. something okay, i guess. maybe i'll frame an old picture of me and rachael in it.

i wanna ......

2008-08-21T19:53:00.000-07:00

i thought all i had was pains and nausea. but, apparently, it was much more. who knew?
i went to the clinic and the doctor wanted to test something out. she kept pressing certain areas of my waist and middle - like the sides and below - and wasn't so sure if i was in pain. she said she suspected i had appendicitis. thankfully, my mum was with me because the doctor said i should immediately go to the hospital for a check. that scared me, though. i tried to make a joke out of it; that maybe an appendicitis was the reason i got all those stomach pains. hmmm.
well, we took the taxi to Changi hospital. my stomach churned. i went to the A&E - Accidents & Emergencies. took my blood pressure and had to wait a while before i saw the doctor. when i went, he had to do a standard and check to see if i got it. to be certain, though, he had me take a blood and pee test. euw. the needle was long. and pointy. i didn't like it. he had to wrap a rubber glove around my upper arm to show any veins. i didn't see any and told him so. he said he couldn't see any either. but he assured the pain would be like an ant bite - never really cared much for those, too - and asked me not to beat him up. needless to say, i didn't yell but i pinched my leg, hard. my mum was trying to comfort me, asking me to spell out stuff or otherwise pinch her. she realized later why the latter idea was bad - for her. after it was over, i had to take the pee test. and i definitely had to go. well.
you do not want to know the full details of what happened. trust me. i had to wait about an hour till the tests were completed. during the time, i told evelyn, regine, rachael, letitia and jean about my suspected appendicitis. they were.. concerned, of course. they had better be. and i read, obviously. well. some of their prayers must've worked because when i was called back, the doctor said what i had was HIGHLY UNLIKELY and i didn't need to be warded into the hospital. however, he did give a three-day MC to allow me rest. thank you! but i just can't wait to find out what the others will say about this. luckily, i get five days rest because of the weekend. happy days :)
'scuse me now. toooooooooooooooooooileeeeeeeeeeeeet. looooooooooooooooooooooooooo. baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaathroooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why today?

2008-08-19T20:31:00.000-07:00

the MnM/MnN muffins were a mess! the oil bubbled out so much while baking i had to drain it three times! anyway, here's the look. tastes better than it looks.

i found my astrology reading. it's v. accurate.

this isn't fair..

i got so much work that i couldn't enjoy my birthday. ridiculous.

2008-08-18T20:43:00.000-07:00

we had our competition today against Bedok Town B.
matilda and toni followed and cheered us on.
I substitued michelle and shi ya played forward right, replacing fatin (1/8). i played centre and, thankfully, i could run this time, just needed to score. i hit one of the player's legs and somehow made another giggle - the referee asked us to keep our legs together while we faced-off. we did, but i wiggled and groaned and she laughed- hmm. i think the same girl went down twice, once she tripped on the ball, second marga crashed into her. ouch. anyway, we lost. no telling of scores, but i'm not certain of this one, any-hoo.
the pictures were of my chocolate chip cookies that we made during Home Ec. mmm. tasted good. lots of little chips. just hope it'll be like that tomorrow during our exam. i think we're making muffins... not too sure. anyway, gotta let mum try 'em.
BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!

SAC Olympics

2008-08-08T18:59:00.000-07:00

Sports Day for SAC girls!!
we took 15 and i rode to Temasek Polytechnic with farhana, amanda and rachael.
rachael was our mascot and had to dress up as China's flag. sort of. she wore their 5 yellow stars - 1 big one & 4 smaller ones around at the side. another star was on her left cheek. i'm not sure who bought one of the Olympic pandas. that was part of her look, too. she also had the China flag with her. all part of the get-up.
we sang the National Anthem, took Pledge and sang our school song. i wondered what the Olympic song sounded like. i'd find out later anyway. the Opening Ceremony in Beijing is tonight at 8:08:08 (8 hours, 8 minutes into it, 8 seconds into that). cute, huh?
we sat, well, stood through the MOE's speech read out by miss martens. if you haven't heard it, all you need to know that it was long. as in loooong. then we started the games. push-ball (with a reeeally big ball - beach ball? mr siddiq was bouncing it); human Foosball; Telematch - carrying a ping-pong ball with a spoon, what, no eggs?, the relays - 4x100m, 50m, 100m, 8x50m; and, of course, Gladiatress!! which was, apparently this: bounce-y float, on it were two stools (the blue one was steadier), two huge 'cotton sticks' (one was full of water which made it heavier). objective: not to hit the head but to knock the opponent off the stool using the sticks. we had helmets, too. duh.
we were against 1/7 first and i got disqualified for hitting one of their heads, which means, point to them. oops on my part. but didn't matter anyway. naomi and yin ru got the other two. i laughed a little, too. yi zhen managed to knock the other girl down with one hit! i encouraged my friends from 1/8 - lynette, sonia and yun lin. and, no duh, we battled against them. and we won! i went against yun lin but she hardly hit me. which was a surprise. next, 1/4. i went against abigail... which didn't work out so well. we tied and another pair went into another round. every time i hit her, i said sorry; everytime she hit me, she said sorry. and amazingly i stayed on, even with the shakey stool and extremely heavy stick. good balance, i'd say. yay me. and guess what?
1/2 WON GLADIATRESS (against the sec 1s)!!!!!!!!!!!! i went to collect the medals!!!!!!! so cool!!!
then we had Champions VS. Teachers. SO NOT FAIR! some like ms zarina (she got knocked off!), ms martens (knocked off yin ru), mr siddiq (knocked off michelle), all v. strong. mean, man! we got trampled! and they gloated later. "Champion 1/2 against the teachers. and, of course, the teachers won!" *pout*
i felt so nervous.. i didn't know what i was supposed to be doing for Gladiatress. i read yesterday it was something to do with jousting (well.. it was close. i guess. but safer than what they had back then in Roman times)
my arms hurt A LOT! which probably happened for them.
i need to soak soon. i've been out to the Borders sale. ouchie. my feet are killing me.
in shortness and all, my class won out of all the sec 1s and we got the shiny trophy!!!! GO 1/2!!!!!!
in every event, we either got 1st, 2nd or 3rd!!!!!!! WHOO!!!!!!!!!!!

0, 7-7, 12 .[[Twi+light]] 140

2008-08-07T22:24:00.000-07:00

0 days left of CAs!!!!!!! Thank goodness.

12 more days till my birthday..

140 MORE days till Twilight movie...

7-7 score against St. Margaret's. argh!! we should have beaten them! it was supposed to be 8-7! What happened?! even we don't know! cloe, matilda, everyone is saying that fatin (1/8) scored one more goal but he said nothing! does he even trust us? man.. the referee was different today. younger, faster definitely. not bad looking, really. and he's kinda funny, too, i guess. anyway, when it was the last period (we have 3, in case you didn't know), us with 6, their forward, Gloria, even said we're supposed to have tied with them. But actually we were supposed to have already beaten them with 8 and win the whole game. he said not to act sour and all, we still won 2-1 or something like that. but he was kinda sour. i felt vibes. oh, and miss martens, miss wan (i think) and mrs joseph came to watch our game. huh. i rode with claire to the stadium and with yun hui back. claire said she might get the calendar for me! please do! and i lent yun hui my golden ball. take care of it! speaking of balls, one of them cracked under fatin (1/1, goalkeeper) during the game. funny.

everyone got soaked after the game. it was raining, and it just started (what a coincidence) up again. while the bus drove back to school, two 17s passed us! my gosh. amira said it was bad luck. i had to share my umbrella with michelle and pei ying. i got wet, still. also because michelle was pulling the umbrella away from me, playfully she thinks. ha. my socks were wet and i think some water was still in my sports shoes when i came home. i have to wear my old ones tomorrow.. mostly everyone's bag, shoes, clothes and hair was all soaked. sonia ran. sonia and i went back to school to find the rest but none of them were seen, so we went back to the bus stop. claire and matilda came later. then yun lin and amira. yun lin went back to get fatin (1/8) and cheryl, and ran back without her umbrella (guess where it was). then again, went back into school to find marga. man, she was drenched. and cold. v. v. cold. she kept shivering and jumping. poor baby.

"Karina, I'm gonna kill you!!!!" she has Breaking Dawn!!!!!! jolene had told rachael and i that they got married (Edward and Bella)! I could've killed her instead! which i will, soon. so, karina will get slack. maybe. MAN! WHY KRISTEN! I HATE HER! SHE LOOKS OLD AND SOUNDS LIKE A TOAD! WHY DOES SHE GET TO KISS ROBERT! OF ALL PEOPLE! i despise anyone who would kiss Robert or Edward anyway :)

experiments with looooong waiting minutes

2008-08-07T15:44:00.000-07:00

i love science experiments!

my lab partner is Jessica.

honestly, she isn't THAT bad. we have this hate/hate relationship :)

we were learning Evaporation, Filtration and Chromatography.

it was fun to light the burner. even though the gas stank a lot.

and the water took for ever to drip into the beaker and let the sand remain as residue.

i liked doing Chromatography the best. look at my dazzling array of colours - only from green, of course :)

2008-08-02T20:52:00.000-07:00

`` at my cousin's house ``

oh yeah!! i got the Twilight saga! well, only Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. maybe i can sweet talk my way into getting Breaking Dawn.. *slow smile* my birthday is coming in 17 days.

so, what do i want?
1) mum (and/or dad) is getting me a typewriter

and the movie for Twilight is coming up on 25th December; on Christmas! maybe I'll go see it with the rest of them the next day..? i can't wait to watch it; like a countdown of more than 4 months before the movie.

anyway, mind me, I'm gonna watch the trailers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Carissa (my little cousin)!!

we tied!!!! and in an unrelation

2008-07-30T20:39:00.000-07:00

just a short one..
we TIED!!!!!! 7 odd!!!!!!!!!! against Bedok Town A
One West Supernova withdrew (chickens!!) from saturday's match, well, at least we have wednesday's to look forward to. St Margaret's, eat our dust!!!!!!

and in an unrelated news:
i don't know why mrs ng was comparing others' answers with mine..
actually, i could've gone home earlier if she didn't use mine for a reference for answers (at least, i think)
maybe mine was all right? who knows. but it did a bit on my ego (in a, if you will, good way).

i played!!! then passed out

2008-07-26T19:29:00.000-07:00

WAHOO!!!!!! i played for Fatin and it was exhilarating! and painful, duh!
we had our match against VJC, and lost... but it was the best scores so far!
3-1
actually, it was supposed to be 3-3 but the blind bat of a referee didn't see the other two shots. dingbat!
anyway, my lungs were on fire that day and i had to ask my dad to pick me up. too much pain in my lower lumbar.
an hour later, i was still breathing hard. and i think they used my golden ball again,
AND it got flattened by someone's foot!!
but the ref. readjusted it, thankfully.
i don't like their coaches either. they talked too much. oh, did i say talk? i meant shout, holler, bellow; whatever.
one of them was saying "who's blocking number 9!!! someone mark her!!!"
did i mention i got whacked in the face but a shoulder? dang, one of their girls ran straight into me. probably bruised my cheek and nose. yeesh. aggressive.
Claire played for me twice because i was too tired. apparently, i didn't play that badly. but my legs said otherwise.
i stole the ball from them a lot! I'm so happy! one of them kept saying "shit". ha! serves her right (plausibly the one who whammed me)
anyway, eventful and not that bad considering we were against a Junior College. ah, well. better cool off. i gotta pass out.

2008-07-23T18:17:00.000-07:00

i found a golden ball and we used it during the match!!!
we fought Bedok South today.. man, all of them are so rough!
but I'm kinda happy, my ball got the goalkeeper on the head (actually, on her helmet and she said "ow".. ha, what a joke) and one in the nose (she got a massive nosebleed)
i feel so diabolical.
somehow, it loves the outside.. it flew out the door most of the time...
anyway, we lost this one, as well.. not good for our spirits. again, you will never know them. but, when i was checking the scores for the previous games (they actually put it up before *humph*), St Margaret's did a baaaaad job, too. two matches : two zeros. the ref. said they couldn't hit the ball! ha! (i have a sort of 'rival' in SM, so I'm v. happy they stink)
i did the scores for BS. obviously, I'm in a bad mood. the captain is #7 and vice is #3 (but she didn't even score one goal!)
problemo: fatin (1/8) can't go for our match this saturday against Victoria JC because she's going to malaysia. we are so... *smiles big*
i was happy when we reached school. mr siddiq gave us our jerseys! I'm #9!! yeah! they look SO good! the size is XS.. jeezum.
I'm starting to get a cough now. better drink some fluids. ta-ta!!

wow-eeizz

2008-07-21T22:55:00.000-07:00

oh, wow... today is the weirdest day of my life. i actually got praise from my chinese teacher - no less - saying stuff like
"well done",
"keep it up"
and
"be like this the next lesson" (all in one sentence!)
maybe i was asking too many questions.. i never got such a shock in my life! i can't wait to tell my chinese tuition teacher.. i wonder if she'll be as shell-shocked?

before, during and after, floorball competition 2

2008-07-19T21:29:00.000-07:00

as usual, i'm not the most organized girl on the planet. matilda said she was waiting for me for about 30 minutes (i arrived at white sands at 12:14 p.m.). then we took the train to bedok. we walked for a while till we reached the KFC. we weren't that late, after all. most of them were there, though. marga said fatin was at pasir ris. jeez. claire and samantha arrived later. then yun hui and carolyn. and, finally, yun lin. cheryl was meeting us at kallang; sonia probably wasn't coming; and we weren't too sure about cloe then. marga did a head-count outside of the KFC, then we went to the MRT station to get to kallang. why not a bus? i don't know. it was nearer. we asked about fatin outside and amira asked again when we were riding the escalator up to the concourse (marga actually forgot). what teammates we have.. but the thing is, when we got (sqvished, more like) onto the train, fatin (1/8) was there already. she said she had come out of that same train, saw us, and got back in. lucky her. we got out of the train to take bus 12 to the competition place. and again, we had our head-count. but the bus didn't come for a looong time, so we decided to walk to another bus stop (which we learnt there was one a distance away after amira and marga went to check at the station, at least, i think). we saw some guys playing floorball.. one was smaller and they were teasing shi ya about him, i don't know why. a few of them had our sticks and i kept seeing some with green ones! my gosh! that is SO unfair! anyway, we walked and walked and walked till we got to the bus stop. then we took bus 11. why? who knows. we split up on the ride, sitting here and there. i sat with yun hui; behind shi ya and yun lin; who were behind fatin and marga. michelle and pei ying we somewhat infront; matilda sat alone; claire, too, playing with her Nintendo, i think; and across the aisle sat carolyn and fatin (1/1). we got off at a bus stop near the kallang mall (what was its name?) and went in to have KFC. carolyn actually took out some honeystars to munch on while we walked there. jeezum. cheryl was there, as well. at first, we were looking around, trying to find it. they said it was downstairs, so i walked with yun lin halfway through an arche, when marga told us to backup. apparently, she saw a 'cute' guy. yeah, right. he had one of those longhair, Paul Twohill looks. gross. some of them said to go upstairs to the foodcourt or something, but then were smart enough to finally check the directory. so, in short we walked through the arche, back again, then back in, and back out and then up the escalator. my gosh. then they finally ate. they, yes, i mean they. yun hui and i sat together at a table while the rest had a long row. i didn't mind, actually. i liked her company. we talked for a while, needn't you mind what. matilda got 'free' food, don't ask me how, and i ate some cheese fries and a popcorn chicken. mmm. we got up to leave after. we found the place easy enough, but had to walk one looooonger round around it to get to the entrance. what a walk. we played against Bedok Town B today. had some small time practicing before the match. yun lin and claire found some balls from the gutter. yuck. but usable. one of them was gold (claire's)! what idiot would loose it? well, his/her lost is our gain. the one yun lin found was the fastball - the one with all the 'dimples'. it rained a little, and the team players were 'missing'. the rest of us went looking for them, all around the building's perimeter. but, we found them sitting on the stairs, at such an obvious location. dang. just turning our heads outside and we could've spotted them! mr siddiq told me to keep the balls in my bag, after they did their drill before the match. i had to write the scores for Bedok Town! EUW! and you will never know them. halfway in the game, matilda had to go and "get some fresh air". she just probably wants the mosquitoes to suck on me, instead *growl* they love fair skin. anyway, i took a video of the first and second periods.. my phone went dead on me so i couldn't take the rest.

matilda was messing with the scores for the second period. again. my goodness. itchy fingers. actually, they were doing well, really. i hated the goalkeeper and coach! i could've walked up to the GK and smacked her in the neck (a vulnerable place under all that armour) & whacked the coach at the back of her big ego-inflated head! "c'mon, shoot! shoot! shoot! shoot! alama!" i really wanted to shoot her! amira had asked me to call her mum ("just press 3") after the first period and i did, telling her she can pick amira up in 30 minutes. i was looking after her purse (phone inside) and camera. also babysat marga's phone, "incase anyone calls, tell them i'm in the match" or something like that was her instructions. 1 from her brother, 1 from daddy and 3 messages from her friend. that's one busy girl. and the ringtone for the messages didn't help my mood. yes, you guessed it, we lost. never you know how much! we all swore to secrecy later. stupid number 12! darn captain! yun lin and i planned on taking bus 12 to the MRT station, but then marga's mum and brother showed up. my gosh! i got a shock! i thought we were in trouble or something. but she was offering us a ride.. i said i was following yun lin. she said i was putting pressure on her. ha! in the end, we went with some of them. actually, i had to pull her arm a little. chicken. so, yun lin, michelle and i were sqvished in the back; marga, with fatin (1/1) behind her, carolyn, yun hui and pei ying (who i think was sitting on yun hui), were in the middle; and the brother and mother in front. in that order. painful left to right. marga said she wanted to schedule another training for monday, no matter what mr siddiq or mr fati says. well, we'll see if there is one, but yun lin and i want to go, still. we got dropped off at the road near the station, but marga asked if i wanted to take a ride with her. since i was going back to pasir ris, it would be near. i would've, honestly, but i didn't dare impose on her family. so i just thanked her. i took the bus with michelle and pei ying; yun lin, yun hui and carolyn walked since they lived pretty near; and fatin stayed with us till her 225 bus came. mr lee was in the bus with us, too! i knew i was good with faces! michelle actually had the nerve to yell "mr lee!" in the bus, but he saw us anyway. i reached the white sands interchange at 7:50 something p.m. i was SO busted! mum had been waiting since 7! oopsie! anyway, i bought my retractable earphones for my phone (since two broke 'cause each one had a problem with the left earpiece) and borrowed some books from the library. my stomach is still sore and i probably have to go for wednesday's match, y'know, if mrs ng still has that medical appointment... better ask her on tuesday. gotta go do my work now.. what does ronaldo have to do with history, anyway?

art in airport

2008-07-18T21:41:00.000-07:00

i was at the airport with mummy.

then had a sudden urge to look around and i fell in love with the architecture.

even the tree looked worthy to be in a museum.

v. sveet.

nice, innit?

oh, the pain!!!!!!!!!

2008-07-17T21:25:00.000-07:00

wednesday

my class lost to 1-4 (they lost to 1-8)for the floorball tournament in school... mummy!!!!!! the other floorballers left for the competition against SGS (Serangoon Garden Sec) while i had my math tutorial. mr siddiq and mrs ng said i could choose for which i wanted to go to, but my mum said if i didn't go for tutorial she'd pull me out of floorball. man! and unfortunately, we lost, too. 2-13
i wasn't playing for either, of course :)

today

during drama, mr quah made us relax. for those who didn't bring their shorts, they had to do it near the wall. first position: we lay down, feet and legs apart, arms by our side, head rest on the floor (the next time, the ones with rubber bands had to remove them) and closing our eyes. second: we had to stay at the same position, eyes open, breathing out "ooooh" or "aaaaahhh" to a spot on the ceiling. third: turn over, legs together, arm that was facing the ceiling, its hand placed in front of our faces, our heads never leaving the floor. fourth: use the hand in front of us to push ourselves into a sitting position. he went around with a walking stick, whacking anyone who didn't do it right. breathe in 1, 2, 3 & breathe out till 5; then breathe in again & breathe out till 8. then we practiced our scripts, i was with carol since amy was my original partner but she went to 1-5. my script name is Overnight. I'll tell later on what props we are going to use and what setting it's in. for now, keep guessing.. unbelievable!!!! now because of florence, she has to sit 'next' to me in class and my whole 'quiet' group has to do a skit on persistence next thursday because she wouldn't go today!! argh! and I'm serious about the pain... mr siddiq trained us nuts today! he sat us down to talk to us about our/their game yesterday. there was this creepy little bug bouncing around on the floor, like going near yun lin's bottom but she moved away. yun hui and i had to switch sitting positions every now and then. later, he made us do sprinting. ouchie! the length of the basketball court: to the center and back, to the end and back again. under a time limit. three times. i had claire, yun lin and matilda (she had hip-pains) in my group. i ran against fatin (1-8), fatin (1-1) and samantha. it was so painful and i hardly had time to breathe. then, we got a two-minute breathing break. back to sprinting. half of us (two) had to go to the other end and do from there. so matilda and i went. claire went first, then me, then yun lin and then lastly matilda. against: yun hui, cheryl and sonia. my gosh! fatin (1-1), yun hui, cloe and carolyn had to do a few more runs. thankfully, i pushed myself on my last round. after our water break, we had to do a 'leisure' exercise. ha! it is no where near! exercise: he blew his whistle and we jogged on the spot at the first cone, then we did 30 push-ups there; jogged there when we were done and then over to the other cone, 30 crunches; jogged to another cone, 20 scissor-kicks (hands supporting our bottoms and putting our legs at a 5-degree angle, we had to bring them up and down, with straight legs) (the second time, carolyn wouldn't try); jog to the benches, palms on bench/arms supporting weight, legs straight, bottom is just above the ground, 20 down and up; no more jogging, this time we had to do a type of stretch, one leg bent in front, another down at the back but we had to go low, low, low, low, low, low (sorry, couldn't help myself; I'm listening to Low now) and bend/walk forwards to yet another cone, and jog on the spot; back to the start. see my point about pain? and we had to do it twice!! i was in agony! fatin (1-1 and our goalkeeper) was practicing dives and crosses. cool. she's getting better. when we kept the stuff, i promised I'd support her the most since it was her second time doing goalie. then he shortened it to 3 stations (i was with yun hui, yun lin and cheryl (noticed: red 1-2, blue 1-8, red 1-2, blue 1-8)): 1st - legs pump up to hit our hands; 2nd - 'running' up and down on the benches; 3rd - tuck-jumps (thanks a lot, marga!); 4th - we relax. he'd blow a whistle for every turn. mr siddiq told me and matilda that we had to attend the competition this saturday, watching, taking the scores and everything. there goes catechism... floorballers meeting at 12:30 p.m., Bedok Interchange. i think we're eating somewhere (McDonald's? KFC?). I'm going for the library sale in the morning, changing to my attire there and taking the MRT back to Pasir Ris to wait on the platform for matilda, pei ying and michelle. time isn't scheduled for them yet.. go figure. we had our match, too. i played with michelle, fatin (1-8) and cloe. it was either sonia or fatin that hit cloe's ball waaay out. again. and it got crushed by a truck's wheel. it got bounced by cars and motorcycles first, though. you should see it now. it looks like the slowly depleting Earth, honestly. and now, i need a to soak. man, i'm gonna be sore tomorrow.

"...I will be still and know you are God..."

2008-07-15T15:44:00.000-07:00

my heart is weeping..

I'm in my study, singing Still by Hillsong (we sung it for our hymn today) and my grandfather is in the next room.

my maid came in and told me they could hear me. she said to my grandfather it was me who was singing, and he cried *sad smile*

i am beyond happy :D

Still

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust

Ow! Hot! Ow! @$%$!

2008-07-12T12:09:00.000-07:00

my darling floorballers better start wearing sunscreen.. *sing-song voice*

a lot of them are turning tanner; browner; even blacker...

what's so difficult about wearing it? i do.

oh, yes, that means i finally went for floorball.

we had our warm-ups, and fatin was asking me why i had my knee guard on and if i put on sunscreen *shakes head and smiles*

the doctor said i had to wear something to protect my knee, just in case i scrape it and it becomes infected. don't plan on letting it happen, though.

we had to play at the tennis courts, AGAIN, because of those annoying senior basketballers!!! but, thankfully, they were getting scoldings from their coach when they were training later.

i think i finally know what the slap-shot looks like.. i just need to know how to do it.

mr siddiq gave us (pei ying, sonia, yun hui (she has a two-week MC because of her throat, i think, etc.) the consent form for the competition. we're.. they.. well... he said i could play if i was okay over the next few games. one of the Top 10, or something like that. but i can't do it now because of my stupid injury!!! but for now, we're watching.. whoopee... *monotonous tone*

the clouds seldom covered the sun, but we still got scorched.. hence, the title...

my day...

2008-07-11T20:09:00.000-07:00

i can't really remember everything from today, so i'm gonna go with whatever facts i can think of right now. hmm, let's see...

we have to reach the school by 7:15 a.m. for floorball tomorrow..

there's another creative writing competition that samantha showed us today, i jotted down the instructions for it, so yes, i'm gonna enter...

i went to the library earlier with rachael and claire, needing to print out our write-up for the lit. GA. when i saw the books they brought from White Sands library, i was feeling sooooo UP!!!! i borrowed: two The Mediator books and MAXIMUM RIDE The Final Warning (even though i already have the whole series, i haven't read that one and now i don't have to open the one i bought). miss suma said we needed to borrow at least one and brought us later on. and i got kim to borrow for me, Ten Days To Zero. the only reason i didn't use my card, was that it reached its limit - 7 books (from the holidays) and i only can borrow 4 if i return all.

florence said i was a little crazy to read so many books. ha! she doesn't know the half of it! you should see the whole stack of library books i have in my room!!

Jacqueline V. asked me to return the book she borrowed from the library (i did say we had to borrow at least one), and it's called Fast Lane - Blood Bond by Spike T. Adams, there were a few of those Fast Lane books there. completely easy to read - picture, short set of words (mostly dialog); and she skipped some... for pity sake! *sigh* the illustration on the front shows a guy with a hood and two people snogging (don't ask how i know that term) - euw! when i flipped inside, guess who the illustrator was/is? Jade. NOT ME!!!!! cross my heart, i DIDN'T draw it!!!!!

because we had our talk for the SAF (Sports And Fitness, or something like that) activity we're gonna do every monday and friday after assembly (means we don't have to report to the impossibly annoying 'straight' line and the fact that we have to sit let's netto get out of it), i couldn't conference with miss nur like she had asked. darn it!!! she said maybe i could schedule it in the afternoon (only 15 minutes)

then, when school was over, she was at the bus stop, asking where i was and then she was tugging on my sleeve *growl*, but i ignored her. i saw amanda coming and walked over to her, asking to walk to the next bus stop. near the gates, gillien stopped me and returned my mathematical set (she needed it for the math test they had today and i lent her it on the bus to school). amanda and i were nearing the bus stop, but the other 17 bus already left *humph* so, i asked if we could take the Bedok MRT back instead, and we crossed *cough, cough* the road. she wanted to buy bubble tea, and since we were already there.. but, in the end, she didn't get it. we arrived back at the bus stop to see a 17 reaching the other bus stop across the street (where tammy, kimberly & emma were). in short, we ran after it; behind a police car that just passed us; amanda almost getting hit by an on-coming car but we made it anyway.

so there.

sweet, huh?

i took it when i was coming home from tuition.

i love the colour difference.

it's like its being cut-off by the over-head.

a multi-coloured sky.

i. am. going. to. die.

2008-07-10T17:44:00.000-07:00

reasons why i will die:

#1 i have to run on Mondays and Fridays, in the morning, after
assembly for a reason i cannot put down right now

#2 we're supposed to sign up for an activity during Sports Day
(our country is China)
i chose to be a gladiatress/gladiatrix

definition of gladiator:

1. (in ancient Rome) a person, often a slave or captive, who was armed with a sword or other weapon and compelled to fight to the death in a public arena against another person or a wild animal, for the entertainment of the spectators.
2. a person who engages in a fight or controversy.
3. a prizefighter.

what i told Regine was:

"people back then used to fight to the death (with weapons) to either please the king or just for the crowds' entertainment"

i normally am never far off on definitions.. boy, oh boy...

(smaller statement: didn't go for floorball today, only the ones in the up-coming competition. never did get my hopes up that high. i hadn't attended for a least a month, give or take a few weeks (it's more like give, actually) *sigh* naughty, naughty me. but i think I'm getting my floorball jersey on Saturday. oh, and sonia got #13!!! mr fati chose it for her. what a coincidence...)

why me?

2008-07-09T22:29:00.000-07:00

in the morning, during math, mrs ng was going over rate again. then she said about my contirbution:
km/h -> m/s = __ x 1000/3600
m/s -> km/h = __ x 3600/1000
("just flip it around")
before the tutorial, rachael saw the paper we were supposed to be marking today (we - mostly - were supposed to complete it during the time between last wednesday and today) and said she couldn't do it, asked if i could and, no duh!, i said yes. "wah, you smart ass, man" oh, come on!
during tutorial, franziska (she joined us; her dad said if there was any math tutorial, "snap at the chance" or something like that) asked carol another question, but then carol said "ask the smart aleck, lah" and again...
for pity sake, do they have to say that? boosting my ego doesn't help, babes!

stress-ness

2008-07-08T19:44:00.000-07:00

miss kate was back with us for dance today. teeny-weeny problem: i smelt smoke when i stepped up to her to have her take my attendance. does she smoke? this can NEVER be repeated. EVER. anyway, she said the dance we were learning was a test to see if we would still stay in Advanced (i think). man. another one? jeezum. right, well, i can master it and hopefully I'll remember it. i still haven't got time to draw it out yet. been too busy. speaking of which, better make this quick. i got history to do. she also asked us if we would like to perform. last year, the teachers either chose the whole class or the best dancers to perform and represent the class. no one said "no". so, we all wanted to perform, even me *smiles*
we had our English - part A - GA today. it was fairly easy. confident i will do well. blah blah blah. you know, the usual. there was this word that stumped me a little: "pivotal"; meaning (of "pivot"): 1) central pin or point on which sth turns. 2) (fig) central or most important person or thing. needn't check anymore. option 2 got me. i had to choose a phrase for it and wrote something like "changes her life forever" *shrugs* I'll just have to see then.
anyway, i gotta do a conference thing with prathya and evelyn soon at 8. ttfn (ta ta for now)!

I absolutely LOVE this song!!!!!!

2008-07-05T19:53:00.000-07:00

one word to describe those gel-like shoes: annoying. they - well, mostly my right - were slipping at the back from my feet. it was ridiculous. i was walking across the road with my mum when she asked if she wanted to swap. i gave her an incredulous look. since we weren't far away from home, she called the maid down to switch the gels with my brown beaded slippers. thank heavens! (in case you didn't know, i was headed for church)
before catechism started, i hung out along the corridors with my friends - sophie, claire, cheryl, jolene, jillian and her friend & sister. when we entered the classroom, i told the girls to sit in the front instead since i didn't want to bother manouvering around the boys. euw. jean (she arrived later) and jolene were upset, to say the least; and the latter was even more. catechist richard then asked us who wanted to lead the Rosary today and jill & i volunteered. jolene and jean were kicking my chair, 'cheering' me on *rolls eyes*
okay, badness level rising. uncle Richard said we were going for a camp (finally!) on 25-26th august (sat & sun) with the whole of con 1 (that was the good news) in Boys' Town!!!! the boys said something about a boys' home, well, they weren't far off. it is supposed to be where all the delinquents (or worse) go or get sent (that was bad news #1). then, while the girls and i were asking about the details (the one i just gave), the guys made so much noise that i finally heard our catechist yell! "BOYS!" and he slammed his fist onto the wooden counter/desk. what a scare (bad news #2). maybe that's why we were camping out there.. to teach them a lesson. but why the girls?!
while we went down the stairs, man! someone was getting on my nerves (she hit me in the back so hard i thought my shoulder blade would crack and only because i hit her LIGHTLY)! jean's (after she got into a car (probably because it was raining; and as I've said, i LOVE the rain) and we managed to ditch her - God was hearing my swearing/pleading) and Jillian's (she told me in class) too. and i can't shake her! she's like a barnacle sticking to a boat's bottom!
i was walking with jean later to tampines mall and suddenly she tripped a little and her slipper broke off (the sole got detached to the thong - of the slipper!!!). she used her rubber band and tried tying the front part of the sole in between her toes. didn't really work that well and we stopped at another circular bench. then she tied it along the center and around the top part of the slipper (anyone know what that's called?).
at the mall - with my mum - she called her older brother, Brian, and asked if he could bring her some shoes (i was shopping for a knee guard and a water bottle). he had asked her where she was and then he said he didn't want to travel so far - lazy pig! i always had this thing (good or bad?) with her brother ever since i met him once (I'm not admitting this exactly but he is good-looking (although he had acne when i saw him), nice(?) and funny). he's in SJAB, i believe. it's supposed to be strict on principals and obviously he needs to be trained more *purses lips*

2 hands = 2 hearts

2008-07-03T18:02:00.000-07:00

put your hands together (palm facing you)
and bend your fingers slightly inwards.
you can see a heart if you look close enough.
now i have two, with one i can actually look at.
sweet things come in small packages *smiles*

HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! & not

2008-07-02T15:33:00.000-07:00

IT LIVES!!!!!!
OUR LIGHTS AND FANS FINALLY WORKED!!!!!!!

and we were totally wasting! which i totally objected!
some of them decided to turn up the wall (3 - highest) and ceiling (5 - i think, highest) fans. argh! wasting more electricity!
i mean come on, it wasn't necessary for it to be on THAT high, was it?!

(i also had a teeny-weeny fear of the fans being on that fast..
it includes my finger and a rotator)

Oh, and Meleah i'm so gonna get you!!!! thanks to her stupid "hymn book to bottom" contact (HARD, okay, maybe not so hard), and she's SO DEAD!!!!!!

OM(F)G!

2008-07-01T21:29:00.000-07:00

OSSIM!!!!!!!
that bees-head took a video of most of the advanced babes during dance!!!
freaking evil...! only reason I'm saying that is because she took a video of me. or at least, i hope, tried. only. when we had to come up with some of the moves to another dance (we got another teacher this time), she and ur niy were saying that i should think of something. as if! (i have confidence issues *shrugs*) she was telling netto to move so she could take a video of me. argh! gross, much! jacqueline v. and some others said i could dance well. they shouldn't've. really. my ego got a teeny bit inflated *smiles*
& meleah and rachael were acting dance-crazy. so it was enjoyable.

Yin Ru was today's "model student"!! *chuckles* what a laugh.. mrs ng said she had to fix up her hair and fold down her skirt. then she was IT. ha!
unfortunately, if she calls out any student that isn't what yin ru was like today, we have to copy down 4 to 5 pages of algebra from our 1 Math textbook. geez.

TWO BLACKOUTS IN A ROW!!!!!!! if we go for a third, I'm biting somebody!!

I'M SELECTED FOR MATH TUTORIAL (Wednesday, 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. & I'm all alone when i go home.. *pouting*) !!!!!!!
BUT!!!!...
it's ONLY because I'm one of the Top 7 in class
WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i initially thought it was for the weakest and got one of the biggest heart attacks, ever.
thanks for the congrats, Evelyn! & the rest of you :D

now for past news:

mrs ng (form & math) said my class, 1.2, were the best eye-rollers in the East Zone. it's, like, a label for life. including when miss loke (ex-history) called us monkeys. the "eye-rolling monkeys of 1.2" hmmm..

burned black, blackout

2008-06-30T15:33:00.000-07:00

burned black

okay, my second attempt at cooking has gone, slightly, messy. otherwise, it should be edible. emphasis on should be.

i hope. well...

since neither netto nor i brought a container, i had to use the plastic bag i used for the towels (which i never used; we used her's) to contain the sandwiches. we made tuna (turned-up) and egg (triangle slices) ones. mmm. really healthy. and we had a little extra condiments, so we mixed them up.

when we (franziska, letitia & claire) were walking pass the classes, we saw miss zarina. she hadn't eaten her recess, so she was hungry. my food was sort of taunting her. oopsie.

blackout

ridiculous. only some classes got the blackout, like us and 1.7
maybe they don't like us, or, karmic repercusions?
the movable fan was the only one that worked. and it was in the front! which means i couldn't get it until chinese when i moved up front. *exasperation*
it was sweltering. man, I've never appreciated the wind so much that I'm getting now. thank the Lord!

i write

2008-06-27T19:39:00.000-07:00

no surprises.
i signed up for an English writing competition,
The Pen Awards.
we're supposed to write an essay about the environment.
what fun i can go to miss suma for 'help' (FYI: it's mostly sarcasm :)
i don't take criticism well, though.
anyway, i posted to ask if anyone else entered. i wanna know.

8 yawns in a whole class

2008-06-24T19:29:00.000-07:00

*YAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNNNN*
it's like i'm going for a record or something,
but Chinese class is boring me more than EVER!
our new teacher, Pao Lao Shi, is reeeeeaaaaaalllyyyy boring,
and he was from Temasek Sec. huh. wonder why the transfer
i can't really understand him now. i have to sit in front with claire and merissa (no complaints).
my brain froze from that lesson onwards so i can't really remember much from today...
no wait. i remember something:
Ms Suma!!! (Suma-Sumo)
She scares the heck out of some of us and i'm one of her reps. (along with samantha and nell)
she's gonna be our Lit and Eng teacher for the rest of the term (hopefully), if not the semester (eeew)
and she assigned us Lit homework.. *sigh*
and now i'm sitting next to tharani at the back. the whole arrangement is called an island:
zarifah _
charlotte
florence

what a headache. and jessica's table is vacant at the back. i hate this. however, mrs ng did say if we make a lot of noise we could go to jessica's seat. honestly i wouldn't mind.

I FAINTED!!!!!!
should i be pleased? it's the first time in my life!
we were at assembly singing the national anthem, which i couldn't do, so i hummed,
then during the school song i had a bad feeling.
i thought it was a stomach ache but then my head felt heavy and my legs upwards were feeling numb. then i just collapsed.
next thing i knew, i was being shaken awake by franziska (an aspiring nurse and SJAB girl) and caked in cold sweat. my scarred knee got scratched again. eeeeew
daddy came over after school to take a look at my knee. he washed it, applied some iodine and then placed the gauze. yow!
speaking of SJAB, it's their/his day tomorrow! weeeeeeeee! "have fun, evelyn :)"
we also have a cafe in school. i ate the chocolate ice cream. mmmm. $1 only. expensive, though.
and Ms Eunice Ong (friend named Eunice Wong) is our new sweet-innocent-looking evil-little History teacher gave us homework on our first day! no fair! *pouting*

too much of anything

2008-06-19T20:28:00.000-07:00

scream, yell, holler, shout, etc. etc. (all in the car)
that's what happened between my Step and father. they have such tempers. Step said that my mother raised me well and wondered how she could "kick me out" *huff* what. ever.
v. eventful, no?
now i know i left my story, The Shadow Whisperer, somewhere... *pinching bridge of nose*
maybe my daddy put it in one of those big containers.. *sigh* of course.
my Godma said it was "v. good"
he said it was "impressive but i can't understand" he's never a reader... oh well. I'm home and at my own laptop. hello, sweet room! & my beautiful books!
anyway, now i really gotta shower and i wanna eat my egg sushi.
mm-ma! *muacks*

prima dona diva

2008-06-19T11:21:00.000-07:00

i made my mum masively mad. emphasis on masively. i entered her caller ID name as 'elohssa' (just flip it) long time ago and she just found out yesterday when she checked my phone without permission! yeah, i know, i can be reeeeal mean. she said she was mad, but, now she knows how i feel when she's unreasonable, like when i tell her she was wrong and she yells at me. i don't get that. moi dad really acted like one yesterday. he consolled me for everything, saying things that seem totally wise beyond his years (you won't know how old he is, though). i told this to Jean and Priscilla and they tried to consoll me, too. thanks again, babes! then the bad things started to happen. i went to dinner with my dad, step'mum' and stepbro at a coffee shop (which i SO don't do) and, well, hearing Its laughing never lifted my moods. anyway, i stayed with him that night. kind of restless, really. then i went for breakfast. how is Nasi Lemak breakfast? easy. it's not. no one finished anything. go fig. right now, i'm writing from my daddy's laptop in his office. and Estupido to me, i forgot my charger and my phone is flat. *sigh* no tunes to listen to. *fish!* :) gonna surf the web a little now. take things in moderation & all that ;) hope this type of thing doesn't happen to you. bubbye. God bless :)

a yell pierced the air

2008-06-16T19:39:00.000-07:00

seriously.
i was at the Pasir Ris MRT station and there was a loud yell.
when i looked over, there were two teenage boys wrestling with each other. i couldn't get a close-up view, but then i saw one of them running away with a shoe. so, i figured that that was what they were doing. the guy also threw the other's shoe and it flew past turnstiles. it was hysterical! (and, no, it wasn't a robbery :) relax, baby P *muacks*)

i am way too paranoid

2008-06-13T18:03:00.000-07:00

I'm serious.
i was walking to tuition, i saw a bunch of, would you call it, "ah bengs" and, no duh, i wouldn't hang around.
but when i was walking back, there were about three policemen talking to a bunch of teenagers, male and female. wondering why? ask 'em yourself. no way did i stick around long enough to eavesdrop.
the whole way back i was looking over my shoulder, and every little sound made me jump slightly. it was creepy. especially since the sky was darkening.
I'm reading "Boyfriends, Brothers & Other Criminal Minds" by April Lurie, which might be the reason I'm so paranoid. since it has the Mafia and all that in it, too. the storyline is around the year 1977, so yeah.
thankfully, i had my rosary with me, so, i didn't suffer any injuries, internal bleeding, bruises, etc. etc. blah blah blah

Kung Fu Panda

2008-06-11T22:54:00.000-07:00

diff. change of pace.
i went to watch Kung Fu Panda with rachael, matilda and claire. amira had already watched it, mat said yun hui's parents were too strict and 'pinky' never picked up her phone.
i walked with rach to the white sands station, looking for mat and claire. then we were missing claire, so we scoured the whole area for her and turned out, rach found her. of course.
perhaps rach was a little left out, since the rest of us have floorball in common. but hey...
i asked if they wanted to take the bus or walk. claire said we should walk and mat went down the wrong side of the station and we made an unnecassary trip one-way round the whole of the area. mat wanted to walk through the grass, but it was cordoned off. one side was fenced up. man, we wondered if 'pinky' could shoot the ball over it. she managed to shoot a high one and it entered the net during a match! ha! so, we joked around the whole time. weee.
(FYI: rach ekorb her phone, again. it is now her fourth. *sigh* know why? we don't. a theory: she broke an angel statue before, maybe she was jinxed. yow!)
we were walking pass Downtown East and saw a pink carebear, and claire and mat thought it was 'pinky', so i took a picture. again, we went to E!Hub for the movie. when we got to the counter, we looked at the time and we (mostly claire & mat) kept jumbling up their words. the guy's name was casper. (i joked later to rach about him being eniger's casper *smiles*) i mean, he was cute, sure. i thought that the computer we were looking at was a touch-screen or something, and i yelled at mat to stop touching it. instead, casper thought i was talking to him and he kept pressing stuff. man! we wanted to choose the 3:10 timing, but the seats were in twos, so we went for the 4:10 (thanks to me) and then couldn't choose between the seats. he wanted to choose for us.. guess he was getting miffed. oops. (mat had told me "'pinky' doesn't hit you, she hugs you." as if, she splashed me back before, with rainwater we played on)
we headed for the arcade next. claire forgot the time and nearly scared me half to death, since the time was near 3:10. jeezum. mat and claire played air hockey (mat cheated by using her hands.. hand), something about bashing the drums and basketball, while rach was doing some dance game using her hands. i wanted to play air hockey but i was scared I'd do it with mat; she'd kill me. (v. agressive today) we got v. little tickets (like 14), so we got a sour strip and devoured it in less than a minute.
later on we ate. claire munched a hotdog, mat ate a grilled fish burger(a change) and rach chose my fish & chips. *miffed* then we ordered snacks. mmmm. salty and sweet popcorn & grape and zapple sodas. *licking lips* the salty stuff was mostly claire's idea. i didn't really mind.
anyway, the movie rocked with all its "awesomeness" (quoting Po) :)

dried ICE cream

2008-06-10T21:23:00.000-07:00

mmmmmmmmm... ... ...... .. ........................ ......... .... ...........

that's all i can say after i ate it;

maman bought me a tub of that sticky-chewy chocolate ice cream from Swensen's.

then later, i played with the dried ice,

i mean, who knew you could get cooling smoke just from blowing?

cool.

and caution: no touchy.

the video for the Time Paradox is there
(you have to scroll down)

Artemis' mother has contracted a deadly, incurable fairy disease (that humans are not supposed to get) -- and the only cure lies in the brain fluid of a Silky Sifaka Lemur. Unfortunately, Artemis himself was responsible for making the lemurs extinct five years ago. Now he must enlist the aid of his fairy friends to travel back in time and save the lemur. Not only that, but he must face his deadliest foe yet: his younger (and nastier) self..!
