first of all, *jumps up and down* *really fast* i'm going to have a thai aunt. :) she's coming down for dinner tomorrow. yup. it's half confirmed. have to get the bride's family's consent.

secondly, think sec ones coming in tomorrow. which is good lar. at least can set mind at peace.

lovely. relations between my cousins and i are getting better. ESPECIALLY with my 27 year-old and 19 year-old JIES. :) really lovely.

oh oh. there's a virus going around. be careful not to accept any weird things via msn. once you do, your computer is gonecase. one of the worse case i ever saw.

Happy CNY eve-eve!

yesterday was eve-eve-eve. today is eve-eve!! :))

had cny concert today. met charmaine outside gate and we walked in together. OH MY GOD. i actually forgotten caiyun's birthday present. stupid me. so dun care anything. walk into parade square and said sorry to her lor. novell gave me my birthday present. i know, a bit late. but still, thanks girl!

we stayed in the room till after morning assembly. cos mr sim have to use. then we go hall sit there for awhile. then rena, tricia and me took out the cosmetics and started testing on each other. and charmaine was like, " wah. sample on tricia. later she get skin cancer." LOL.

then went back music room. this time we HAD to put on our makeup for real. then went to the 4th floor toilet with rena, jiaen and tricia. jiaen's makeup skills is fantastic! then we played around with tricia's mascara. :P

whew. all done and it's the lower sec concert. it's okayy lar. errors here and there. then we sec 4s went up on stage during finale.

oh yeah. had my FIRST MINOR stage fright. i nearly cried after the performance. it's the first time i sat the outermost. so yeah. terrifying. i made a few MAJOR (to me) blunders. but all went well during the second performance. nothing went wrong. i'm not afraid. weird huh me.

went back music room. rushed back to hall with our instruments for upper sec concert. i'm carrying the conductor's stand and kept saying "excuse me excuse me". then on stage didn't look down. except for once when i looked down and smiled at novell and gang. :)

went well went well. whew! then go back music room (again) keep instruments. then go back hall for finale. this time we sec 4s and 3s give oranges. sec 2s went up on stage. i gave my pair of oranges to miss kumari. was supposed to give to the people next to mr lam. but alissa said, " no they ex-students not teachers". then i blur blur gave miss kumari lor. sorry arh charmaine. block your way. :P

my folks picked me up. we went to 900+ buy soem stuff and lunch.

tution cancelled! eunice (my teacher) had something on.

something on later. >.<

Happy CNY eve-eve-eve!

yup. eve-eve-eve. :)) money money. new clothes new clothes. i'm so totally in the holiday spirit.

but. some things a little pull-me-down. like bio. got back my results. it totally sucks. some say don't give myself pressure. BUT. i can't help it. i will do better next time. :))

concert tmr. sitting outermost. a little scared. :))

realised my blog entry today abit of urm.. crazy? i don't know. i felt like i'm talking in short short phrases.

oh yeah. told my mom yesterday about what happened during PC class. mrs vannan was asking whether we had anyone to talk to at home. and i said i don't have. i told my mom. and her attitude changed immediately. wow. wonder how long it will last.

well. off the unhappy stuff. come the happy stuff.

during chem class today. mr neo kept targeting me. think i talked to chrise too much. but i know the answer. haha. except the last one. why he must ask us nitrogen oxide form acid rain qn. he asked me mah. and i asked weimin is is something regarding neutral oxides. he said dunno. and i dunwan reply. but in the end is. hai. embarassed for nothing. :P

after school have a sudden co meeting. ms foo turned up at 3! well, she talked finish and needed help with the CNY deco. but i had to go back first cos i have to run personal errands for my mom. so.. yeah. think i missed out on fun. haha. so rena and i left first.

well, off the unhappy stuff. come the happy stuff. :)) big smile everybody!!

just a quick one.

hmm. many people were so tired today. including me. my eyes were closing since emaths, the third-last period of the day.

we saw the disection of a cow's eyeball today in bio class. yup. EWWWWWWWWWWWWW. when they cut the lens, you can literally hear the sound when you scratch or cut your spectacles lens or something made out of glass. then when they cut the iris or something, black liquid, like the black ink of a squid. squirted out. i know, ew. :))

but overall, i think the bio's lesson today was interesting. i'm not really THAT gross out. :P i'm okay really. it's from a website. but 'cher never say. :(

had a bio test tmr. argh. now this is ew.

life goes on

just finished my tution. :)) it was okayy. my tutor was previously from northland too. did i repeat this information? well, it won't hurt to read this again.

had cny rehearsal yesterday. first round was blardy hell worse. seriously. nearly everyone screwed up. but luckily the second time round, it was good. near perfect if i were to say it. it was so much much much better.

my hands and mind are so itching to change to a new skin. boy. am i real flickle-minded. i started using the lime-green stars one since 12 january. nine days to this day. :P probably a new one up before cny. hmm. maybe i might consider making one. :))

singapore polytechnic.

yup. went to s'pore poly today. but more on that later.

my bag's super duper heavy today. cos of the stupid chem tys. was hestitaing on whether want to bring or not. but in the end i brought. lucky seh. he used the book! :))

lessons were boring and lame. esp english (today) and ss (every lesson). for english, we had to split into our groups (again!!) and write autobiographies. ss was as usual, crappppppp.

on to SP. one way transport to there. we can sit on any bus, technically any. then for our bus, the t'cher, who's supposed to be mr lam, was late or did not turn up for some reason for another. and we waited for 1/2 an hour!! god! but in the end mrs vannan stepped in.

there at SP was chaotic. really. there were tons and tons of students from sosososo many schools. but i only saw two other yishun school. chun cheng and ahmad ibrahim. when our bus finally reached there, a whole lot of peopler were waiting for us. :)) so us, one big group of people, went to the business faculty. us as in : ziai, charmaine, yolanda, wan ling, wan lin, sherina, caiyun, huiwen, novell, pei jing and me of course. (did i miss out anyone?) whatever it is, it's one whole BIG group of people. it's kind of troublesome, considering one big group. so in the end, we split up. huiwen, novell and me. the rest. the rest wanna go for a tour around the business area. huiwen, novell and me were not interested. so we sat the shuttlebus not to the convention centre.

we went to the exhibitions and found the courses we're looking for - science. :)) we took brochures and all. then the three of us had an embrassing incident. we were looking for goodie-bags. then we saw the distributing areas. and imagine what? huiwen started saying, "neh. zai na li." in translations, "there it is!". then one person heard us and said, "yarr. make your way there." and we were sososososo embrassed. then i started saying, "where's the escalator?" haha. lame, i know. kiasu us. :P

there's carrie chong from perfect 10. we wanted to go take photos. but chickened out in the end. then she was saying, "this question is meant for those with long hair." and huiwen pushed me forward. haha.

so in the end, three of us went back first. the rest wanna tour the whole school. then we met chiuyen and santia. and the rest is history. :)). i'm just lazy to type somemore. :P

a quick one

seriously, i think this blog is going to the dumps. :P

going to singapore polytechnic on thursday. can't wait! but will i be going to see temasek poly? god knows.

tests, tests and more tests. i'm so sick and tired of it. we had diagostic tests for english. today's supposed to be the last one ( i think) on reading.

i still have to bear for another 10 months. how on earth am i going to survive?! to me, my studies are steadily dropping. i half understand what's going on during bio lessons. it's like - argh!!

like, WTF.

brains, spinal cords, nervous system. bio bio bio. oxidation, reduction blah. chem chem chem. when will this EVER end?

buckle up. on for a real rough ride.

wo whoa!

whew. okayy. i did not update for such a long time.

in school, life's okay. no stress, no pressure - yet. then people in school kept digging up the past year. haha.

yesterday. english lesson the time. we had to split into groups. then each group must have at least 2 people of one gender and must have different races. at first, jieqin, camila, wanlin and i were in the same group. then cannot mah. so mdm shah told yongseng to swope places with me. then my new group includes mardiana, hayu, kiat yi, zia sheng and bing guang. i'm a bit apprehensive at first. but started warming up. my group's quite fun, really.

in school, we had to sit individually. means desk by desk. then 4ea was saying about mr yoonus (our year master >.<) saying that what cannot comb hair and sort. >.<

today, we finally had a physics practical. we had to boil water and stuff. pretty simple. then mr toh showed us the pee-boy. :))

had lunch with charmaine and huiwen. when we went back to school, we go put up some cny decorations around the school for the school. then i had to go dentist. tricia accompained me. the dentist said i have two baby teeth that needs to be plucked out. ouch!

tension was high in co. really. then stayed back and have a talk. went back around 7.30pm with alissa. and the rest were still talking.

this year, i'm going to be real hardworking. just figured out there's no time left. so going to be a really really really serious student. watch me. :))

polytechnics exhibition next week and all. but i don't think i can go to the next friday's one. forgotten which poly is that. cos got cny rehearsal. >.< really. argh. i really don't wanna go for rehearsal lor. but, what to do..

sec 4 life updates

oh my god. it's like the 4th day of school and i'm feeling tired and and beaten out of energy. everyday i came home from school i will be hitting the books. if i want to revise what i've learned on that day, it will take me a minimum of two hours, including hw and all!

on wednesday, there's cca concert and display. since it's a last minute thing, the main orchestra was not included. just dizi. then during the display, we had to go get sec ones come to our cca booth. most of them were reluctant. ESPECIALLY this sec one boy who's sitting on the stage steps. tricia and i were like talking to him till we breathless and he still refused to budge! then this group of boys (! i know again). there were sitting in the middle of the hall in a circle. then at first charmaine and i went to talk to them. they dun wan so we gave up. then when bing guang (NCC) was talking to them, charmaine go near mah. then she just opened her mouth one guy (supposedly the leader cos he's the one who talked the loudest) said, "i won't join this or that la. so simple. ... stupid arh!" i was like damn pissed off lor. we don't know that guy and he scolded us stupid. gosh. sec ones...

i went home that day really exhausted. cos there's co practice in the afternoon. but i'm determined. studied till 10+ before giving up and going to bed. gosh.

on thursday was catching-up-on-studies time. during recess asked novell and peijing to teach me locus. was a little blur. when i went home to do the hw, i simply can't do the questions and gave up. i had a major headache at night and went to bed before 10. that's really how tired i am. furthermore went out to design co tee-shirt in the afternoon with charmaine and cheryle.

today. equally tired. a day at school then co practice.came home, now feeling sleepy but there's still hw and studies. and co meeting on tmr. oh boy, i really hate sec 4 life! although it means i can finish secondary studies next year. :)

update:/ i got my ideal height! boy, you bet i'm happy. the first time was after lunch. wanlin, alissa, ziai, charmaine, huiwen and me went outside the general office. okayy. so i'm a little heavy. cos jus ate lunch. well, that's what i said to console myself larr. huiwen too. haha. i remember. but it's okay girl. just ate lunch. haven't digested yet. yyup. so now, my offical height is 1.67m. the best fit height for girls. not TOO tall and TOO short. i hope the thing is accurate. don't let me be happy for nothing. and my weight.. well, okayy. so here it si. 53.4kg. oops. a little heavy? =p

oh i took again the second time with huiwen during break. not much difference to the results. just wanna confirm my height. the second time we don't know how to press and end up pressing 'adult'. >.<

first day of school

okayy. so first day. new classroom new teachers.

our form teacher's mr toh. i think he should be okay ba. he talks real fast though. chemistry's still mr neo (..). physics's mr toh, our form teacher. chinese, history, emaths, biology still the same. ss changed to mr yoonus, HOD. he is REALLY boring. mrs vannan goes on with us with amaths and PC. 3 subjects. although i'm not sure if PC is counted a subject. mrs merin chong became our pe teacher.

phew. that's about it.all the teachers started teaching except mrs vannan. boy oh boy. that's real fast.

by the way, i damn pissed off with the english banding. if i'm NOT wrong, in both my paper and my report book, my english got a B4 minimum. but that paper put C5. making me one of the lowest in band 2. how do they go about counting it. it's like, WTF. oh well. most probably going for a talk with mdm shah tmr. we'll see.

gosh. friday there's chinese remedial. 1 hour. starting from this week i think. biology's thursday starting next week. is sec 4 life really that bad? sigh..

oooh, i love this pic!

artist's impression of Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley. :)

whew

i did not on my hp for a day and there were SO many messages pouring in. if i on it, not one message. haha. :P

genting trip and happy new year!

phew. i've been gone for 3 days and missed up on lots of stuff on the internet!

genting, thursday 29 december 2005, day 1
woke up at 4.30am. had to rushed finish my english articles. so it was badly done i can say. well anyway, the rest of the family woke up at 5am and we're out of the house at 6. a couple of mishaps happened. my dad topped up the car's petrol tank. but it's a mark away from the 3/4 tank mark. then we forgotten the camera and had to go back for it. we're going with my dad's friend and family. so we're late in meeting them.

a slight jam at the woodlands causeway. then they were waiting at the road near the sea (i hope you understand) and they followed us to the coffeeshop where we're going to have breakfast.

okayy. so here are the people who went with us.
1. uncle roger. my dad's friend.
2. aunt kina (i think). uncle roger's wife.
3. sarah (i know her name at the last day. pathetic huh? but she's pretty and quiet. ) the daughter. she's a year older than me. now at serangoon jc.
4. timothy (if i'm not wrong. i heard his name when his mother called him) a year younger than me. as usual, quite nice-looking.
5. the grandparents. :) nice people.

okayy. so we went for breakfast and then we hit the highway.

we ate lunch together at the foot of genting. it's kind of awkard, since we don't know each other.

went up, checked in. all of us were living on the 10th floor of the hotel.

so rest time. we got the portable dvd player, used for watching movies along the journey. so start it up and watched princess diaries 2.

after resting, we went to first world hotel indoor themepark. we bought the individual tickets. they were more expensive than the whole day pass. the roller coaster was not working then. so we sat the bumper cars and the motion master. the motion master was 4D. we had to wear the specs and stuff. they have air and water sprouting out from the sides of the seats. the air was a little smelly. :X

wow. we saw our relatives. my grand aunt's family. and we saw my dad's friends. a different group.

genting, friday 30 december2005, day 2
all of us met up with breakfast again. we, teenagers (which mean sarah, timothy and me) were still not talking. well anyway, we arranged to meet up at noon to sit the skyway down to the skyway station (okayy. it's abit stupid calling it skyway station. but i don't know the name). so us, my family, went to buy the thempark wholeday passes. we played at the both outdoor and indoor themepark. then when it started looking misty, we went indoors. it's kind of empty in there. we don't have to queue long. sat the roller coaster and bumper cars (again!!).

noon came and we went to the skyway. it's a cable car to those who don't know. or what they call a goronola. well, we went down there, ate lunch together and shopped. we went back up first. i brought my brothers to the themepark while my parents went back to the hotel first.

we played bumper cars ( i'm getting sick and tired of it) and then go outside to play the antique cars. it's raining.

after awhile we went back to the hotel, freshen up and went for dinner down at the mushroom farm. we have home-cooked dishes there. then back to the hotel we went. we headed for the indoor themepark and i sat the roller coaster myself. i could not bear for another round of bunper cars.

then we went t the outdoors. whew. we sat 2 or 3 rounds of the antique cars. (or known as lao ye ce) then i sat the outdoor roler coaster. i forgotten the name of it. it's so much thrilling than the indoor one. then one last round of the swing before going back.

genting - singapore, saturday 31 december 2005, day 3
ate breakfast together again. then my dad brought my brothers to the arcade while mom and i went back to the hotel room. we sat around in silence, watched tv. then at 10+am, they came back and we checked out together at 11.

we went to malacca for lunch. we finally can hold conversations together. a pity it's the last day. we ate chicken rice balls ans shopped at tan khim hock for the local snacks. then off we go back to singapore.

we came in by tuas. so at our last stop, we bid goodbye and stuff. chatted alot more. then home sweet home. :)
