boring lessons

today's lessons were like sooooooo bored. i was especially sleepy for all lessons, except bio practical. ((: we did microscope work today, and i did my mounting in 2 tries! i'm so proud!! :D but i didn't get to draw the cells out :( lack of time.

yay! finally, i got my contacts yesterday. spent 45 mins in the shop learning how to take in and out the contacts. it was so difficult on the first try. my eyes were like so small and they won't stop blinking and tearing. the taking out was easy, and i did better the second time round.

funny thing is that today, i spent around 10 mins getting the contacts into my eyes. :)) but i did so successfully. but i took it out after bio practical lesson at 11am. the lady at the shop told me first day cannot wear so long.

seriously, what's wrong with all the teachers today? the lessons were really a lullaby! (or in my words, lullab-ilicious.) backdate to chemistry lecture yesterday. it was horrible. 0704 could not get proper seats! and we ended up being separated :(

during assembly, my principal was telling us about JAE. darn it, so fast. i'm so going to miss 0704. they made my life at nanyang tolerable. they made my life at nanyang fun. they made my life at nanyang memorable. i love you guys :)

after school, rudy, samuel, novell, shu hui and i went for lunch before going up to the library. did i mention i am in library? haha. but it's called drum. and it's not boring lor. it's such a contrast to what i have thought drum would be. the people there were friendly and funny! we were discussing cny decorations today. and my group members were like real fun! and i was super talkative and high. after that, went back with rudy, samuel, novell, wei ting and friend.

oh yes! we made a really great suggestion for the cny deco today! 'cause we are designing three rooms. and the drum people forbids us to use 'pig' in any form. 'cause it's halah. =.= so we came up with this:

on the door of room 1: twelve zodiac. the pig replaced with a question
mark, saying "gone to room 2"
on the door of room 2: the same. this time the words are "gone to room
3"
on the door of room 3: "gone to pai nian."

haha. there, my group members. that's how we omitted pigs.

on the way home was super funny. the bus uncle was in a bad mood, and whenever the bus stops, everyone would be falling. then as everyone knows, my balancing ability sucks. and the whole time i was like falling and grabbing the nearest person. :P poor samuel's bag, everytime got grabbed by me. :X

ahhhh. i love my class. love ya 0704!

typical day

wtf. friendster ate up my testimonials. stupid lorrr. bleh.

chinese was a little boring today. not really boring till we are nodding off. but boring in a sense that we were not hyper today.

we had our GP presentation today. we were supposed to go first, but we sabo-ed wei ling's group to go first. but it's not really sabo lah, cos they were willing to go up first.

mrs too gave us really great marks lor. one of the best ever. :)

bio tutorial was fun and engaging. i love my bio tutor :)))

after school, wei linh, jia min, novell and i went bugis. there was an incident earlier before we took the mrt lahh. shhh.

anyway at bugis, we went shopping for earings first. i took a looooong time to choose mine. but in the end, i finished earlier than jia min and novell. =.=

then we just went shopping around. wei ling bought two bags, for $38. jia min bought a watch. and i bought a small bag for my mp3 :)) i didn't find the bag and shorts that i want. but nvm, there's always next time :))

we took neoprints! but that damn machine was like so messy. we didn't get to choose our favourite pictures in time. we missed two of our favourite pics :((( but then again, there's still next time :))

wei ling said something that i so totally agree.

"this feels so much like going out with secondary school friends. it's like, we're so close!"

awwww. (it's not the exact same words lahh. but the meaning is there)

at the mrt station, we went our separate ways - wei ling to paya lebar, jia min to redhill and novell and i back to yishun. i wanted to collect my contacts today, but i waited for like 10 -15 mins then the person tell me mine haven't come yet. okaay. it's partly my fault, 'cause i told the uncle tuesday then i go collect. but he told me monday can also collect. nvm. tmr after school then :)

i hope my bio drawings won't be rejected again. damn. i sucks at drawing lor. i nvr get an A in a art before. that's the super bad thing about science. you have to draw. like wtf lor. i can't draw for nuts! darn darn darn darn.

pictures from saturday! :))

the oh-so-delicious swensens ice-cream cake!


the birthday girl in the middle. love her forever :))

random

i'm blogging at such an unearthy hour. :))

anyway, singapore won malaysia, 5-4 on penalties! daddy actually suggested going to the national stadium to watch the match. but turned out, we didn't go. actually, three-quarters of me don't want to go. because the possibilty of singapore losing is like so much. but yay! we won! but it was crappy play, really. well, that's what i feel lahh. :) no offence there.

i'm getting contacts! actually can try on today. but they don't have my degree. i discovered something new. my right eye (or left) is 275. and my other eye is 200+ as well. wow! i'm amazed. i got a lil of 'shan guang'. but it's inherited. mommy has it. :( but it's okaaaay. i made those without shan guang! costs me 180bucks for a year supply. going to learn how to wear it on tuesday. it's supposed to be on monday, but i've got something on :)

have tests coming up i think. stinky bio. i sucks at A'level bio. for now lahh. i can't remember those functions of nucleous, cytoplasm etc etc.

oh yeah yeah. had a mini birthday celebration with ah ma! it's her birthday this coming wed. BUT she chose to work on that day :( my brothers and i forked out money to buy swensens ice-cream cake. and she liked it lahh. :)) we wanted to buy for her a jade bangle or something. but we didn't buy. cos we thought we saw these on her before. lucky we didn't buy. turns out my uncle (her brother) bought her one from china (1688renminbi! but for her, any price is okaay.) pictures tmr :)

gotta go. am watching manutd VS portsmouth! ronaldo's not playing :( he's not even on the bench. but whatever. as long as manutd win, anything is okaaay. :)

class tees!

life so far..

i know i submitted an entry a few days ago, but somehow, my entry disappeared. oh well.

well, as everyone (okay, not everyone) knew that my class is 0704! and i love my classmates to bits.

there's bao zhu and wei ting. these girls became best friends faster than anybody had ever. but they are sweet girls :)

then there's shi yi and hui min. quiet they may be, but antisocial they are not! (why am i writing like this? :/) they are great people in fact!

also in the class are sheryl, elieen, su lin, amelia, ying xuan, priscillia and lucas! they are so nice, and never fails to light the class up :)

then there is keryu, samuel, rudy. the remaining guys in the class. they are real fun! jokers and whatever! :D

ooh. there's sophia and shin wei and jazreel and wei ling and novell. of course, northlanders know novell. :) and i looooove to draw rainbows with wei ling's markers. jazreel's pretty and friendly. and shin wei and sophia looks after us all :))!

there's also jia min and jia min. same name, but thankgod, they have different surnames. the cutie quek jia min, and the cheerful lim jia min. :)

talking about lim, there's a lim clan in the class! me, jia min, novell and lucas! haha. and jia min's and my chinese name (jia xin) is like almost identical lor. if someone just look at the chinese names, people might have thought we are sisters. haha.

one last one, wen jie. he withdrew lahh, before we got to know him better. but he's ultra-friendly :))

yups, the 23 of us, plus me!

okaaaay. the top part is so totally random. now to the actual days at ny.

classes are okaaaay. i can't keep up with tutorials. because i don't know how to do chemistry! chemistry H2 is like pure chem in secondary school. and i take combined science!

but i'm proud to say i'm improving. :))many many thanks to my classmates. but biology is disasterous. i have to redraw my two bio practical drawings, and i can't pass the wet mount test! although i'm not the best in secondary school, but i do okay lor. i can do the wet mount before, but i just can't do it now. :( but mr mark goh, my bio tutor, is good lahh. he gave us a pass for nothing. :)

ccas. it's a big headache lahhh. cnny is really, not what i expected lahh. but i don't mind being cca-less. that is for the first three months lahh.

and my OG state is getting for a lil bad to worse :(

we got a GP project! and my group mates are jia min(lim), samuel and novell! so fun lahh. :) i got great group mates!

and i went to co today! after chemistry practical, i was like really anxious to go off. cos i'm meeting hui wen, and she's dismissed wayyyy earlier.

and co was okayy lah. their set piece is so nice! i love the melody part! :)) and it's so cool seeing all the lovables again - tricia, rena, cheryle laogong etc etc!

this has been a really slaggy post. haha. but i've updated! :))

nanyang junior college

finally an update yea? :)

overall, the orientation was fun. i'm in OG 13, and it turns out my faction is blue. haha.

3/1/07
met novell at 6.10 in the morning. ha. turns out that by the time we reached sch, we're still late lah. but nvm one.

ice-breaker and all that stuff. but before that, we had to endure a near 3 hr talk on the floor. about subjects combination and stuff. then went abt to do those ice-breaker games. got one game is the 'husband-and-wife'. that's my favourite ice-breaker game lah. all of us stand in a circle, then a pair will come and break the circle. at the point that the circle is broken, the two people must grab the hand of the person next to them and run. so in total got 2 pairs running at one time. then the first time i dunno must hold hands lor. haha. then the guy next to me and i were like super funny lah. pple hold hands but not us.

then we attend a mass dance session. we were taught two dance, the nanyang traditional dance and the uh-dance. must have partners, preferably a male one. then my group the guys were so limited. so in the end, i danced with one guy from another grp. but i forgot who he is already. my my. stm.


4/1/07
went to sentosa! but before we leave we had a mass dance session. i love these sessions. :))

sentosa. my OG and two others (14 and 15) went to the ferry terminal to wait for our lunch to arrive. then while waiting, we played games. got one game is the where-is-the-peanut game. it goes something like this.

where is the peanut,
where is the peanut,
where is the peanut, my friend?

then the other team will answer. for example, like this.

in the toilet,
in the toilet,
in the toilet, my friend.

lol. it's super funny lah. we dragged until toilet paper brand and shit. then there's another grp a little further away. they eating chicken rice (poor things. haha.). it's coincidentally, novell's group lah, then they were so angry. haha. cos they eating, then we were singing shit. haha. then there's one time we answered like this:

what talking you,
what talking you,
what talking you, my friend?

haha. cos we don't know what the other group is singing.

alrights. so we went all the way to siloso beach for lunch. our pizzas arrived! after lunch we started our games. sentosa race.

got one station was where we have to take 10 photos with 10 different tourists. then we got to take one pic with this really hot caucasian guy. :X haha. my taste, so weird right? :P alright, moving on. then there's this guy from moscow. he went, "DO YOU LIKE MOSCOW?" haha.

then there's another station where we have to lower an egg from up high without breaking it. we dun want to tie our shoelaces and all that together. so in the end, we wrapped the egg in a towel, put it inside a big gulp cup (not to the base of the cup. somewhere in the middle), and threw it down. surprisingly, it didn't break. haha.

then near the end, it started raining. so we faster board a bus and went to the ferry terminal. the bus was super crowded. it's only our OG with tourists. then there's this time i was standing on the bus steps. had to alight to let the tourists alight. luckily, got someone from my OG alight with me. plus my OGL. if not they go away without me. haha. :P

fashion parade was fun! i helped design. in the end, our design seems to be like promoting coca-cola. cos there's their logo pasted on the front of the outfit. then when our 'model' came out, my group stood up and cheered, really really loudly. my ears were like- hha. but got used to it as the time goes by.

then walked out of sentosa with novell and wanlin. later wanlin went to find her parents. novell and me spent a lovely time chatting on the mrt ride home. we sat from habour front to dhoby ghaut, then to marina bay, then all the way back to yishun. and our conversation was not so private. cos the train was crowded, and the people there inside were mostly alone. so got no one to talk to. except for the pair of guys in front of us murmuring, the rest were quiet. so they had fun listening to novell and i chat. :)

reached home at 9pm. so damn tired.

5/1/07
3rd day of orientation. i basically forgot what we did. haha. i know we played games and all. but the part i remembered more vividly was the evening section.

we started the evening with the cheering competition. ABYSS! we were so cool! haha. but give Gaia (green) win in the end.

then afterwards we had packed food for dinner. fried rice and chicken wings. then we used plastic spoons. alot of spoons broke while trying to saw off the meat. haha. sounds so disgusting right? "saw off meat".

after dinner we had faction skits. then pyro's skit want us to cheer again. and our skit's a mixture of spongebob, patrick star, barbie dolls. your pick :) .

oh oh! pyro and abyss merged for some parts of the day. we became ARROW. haha.

and after some prize presentation, we had our disco night! before that some of us were like, "sigh. disco night. surely boring." cos i was thinking of northland's sec 3 camp and prom night style. but boy were we wrong. we were MEGA HIGH. my group started the "chu-chu train" thing. but they banned us. then we wanted to go up on stage, but they don't let us too. so we stayed near the stage. and i was wild, boy was i wild. haha. we had one last mass dance before we were dismissed. then they dismissed us at promptly 9pm.

then we gathered at the atrium to take a group photo. :) i love OG 13 lahh.


OG 13!

6/7/07
it's a saturday, and we had to go back to school for flag day. my dad sent novell and me to school! :)

flag day was okayy. my OG went to ang mo kio. we thought nobody would go. but turns out, 2 or 3 other grps were there.

my group special lah. we sat down and had breakfast. those who don't want to eat went off first. in the end we went our separate ways. shu yan and me went together. later, we arranged to meet back at the bus stop. then there were other groups there also. but funnily, no one pressed the doorbell at our stop. ahaha. so we missed it. but luckily, the next bus stop was not far away.

in the afternoon, i went to the nee soon east cc to take my scholarship. then i was like, alone at my seat. so i started smsing rui jie. haha. he's sitting in the same row as me. but i'm on the left of the hall and he's on the right.

then my turn was 0390. imagine how many pple i had to see b4 going up. saw a couple of familar faces. :) and when i took my prize from mr ho peng kee, he addressed me directly. then my dad later commented he gives people the 'personal' feeling. my dad took a prize from him before too. and mr ho drove his own car.

8/1, 9/1, 10/1, 11/1, 12/1
lessons officially start on the 8th. we report to school at 9am. :)

this week's only lectures. economics was okay. biology was infuriating. the teachers were so fierce. and scolded us like hell on the first lecture when some of us were late for 5 mins. people can get lost you know! chemistry H2 is like pure chem at O'levels. then then i catch no ball during lessons. haha. maths is the usual. i'm super blur lar.


cca bazaar was on the 10th! CO there was.. i don't know. i want to see. but wan lin was like, "dun want la!" haha. i signed up for soccer (crazy me?), outdoor activities club, tennis and squash. here the people are more mature. not like northland. seriously pull the poor sec 1 to the booth. haha.

11/1 was fun in a sense. shu yan, xiu li and i were like crapping after PE. and we called ourselves the "shortie-like-shit" gang. haha. it all started with shu yan going, "eh, this guy is handsome like shit leh!" haha. but that guy IS handsome lah. ahha.

it was raining this morning. so in school was like super messy. i saw gary ( my OG member). stayed with him for awhile while he contact the others. then cos he nvr take bio, i didn't follow him. i followed novell. turned out, i stayed with novell for the whole day. bio and math were as usual. then i sticked around with novell's OG. they are fun and great people! and anabel, who was my primary school friend whom i lost contact with, was novell's OG mate! then after econs, went back with novell and anabel.

then accompained novell while she's hunting for her file. sigh. if after we got abck our results and novell and i were posted to different schools, i will be so so sad. ha.

yay! my class is 0704. and guess what? yup, novell and i were in the same class. haha.

alrights. loooooooong update today. :)

new year's day

usually, you see people posting on either 31st december or 1st january. but call me slow or uncooperative, here i am on january 2nd. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! didn't go to any countdown on the 31st, but went to my aunt's house. it was pretty boring, with me playing on my cuz's gameboy the whole time there.

darn. this year did not start with a bang. for starters, i'm down with flu. how bad can the new year be?

tomorrow's the first day of school. i'm not exactly psyched for it. but i'm looking forward to it. let's hope i won't have trouble adapting.

and yet another damper for the new year. my mom's been a grouch the whole day, and it's starting to affect me and the whole family. i'm going to turn in early before i exploded. argh!
