after service, we met zhengwei's cell group leader, kelvin, who gave the group a debrief. they're friendly people ;D then kelvin was telling me something about the importance of age. heehee it sounds funny, but that's not really what he meant. went for subway lunch with w416 after saying bye to jianming and zhongming. i didn't eat much, just some cookies that clara treated me to. she's nice~
"money not enough 2" after lunch. the movie was seriously saddening. the grandmother literally sacrificed her life for her granddaughter who didn't care about her. and her 3 useless sons only knew how to borrow money from her when they were down, but they did not care for her when she was in need. she was treated like dirt. all the time she acted fine in front of them, but when they weren't around [which was most of the time], she started crying. the worst part was when they decided to put her in an old folks' home. she cried like how kinds cry when their parents leave them at a child care. almost cried lah D:
got introduced to kelvin's fiance, joyce, after the movie. she's quite pretty. he kept showing off her engagement ring to us [me, zhengwei and jianhui]. joyce said that us young people won't understand it's value. heehee quite true. then we talked about some stuff regarding kovan and heartland. joyce said that i'm smart to link stuff together and recall. yay first time someone calls me smart! haiz adults will never understand. kelvin asked if my parents will mind if i came out of the house at 11pm for supper with them. that's a weird question?!
said bye to clara, jeremy, kelvin and joyce. trained home with zhengwei, jianhui, nicholas and some other guys. chatted about CCAs and weird stuff on the train. zhengwei kept calling me to play my DS, but seriously there wasn't space at all! >< i really wanted to play it D:
w416 asked if i wanted to go for some party this wednesday. i can go, but i guess not. too busy lah D: anyway... haha ;D zhengwei asked if i wanted to go for their cell group meeting on saturday. i'm still considering. but definitely, i'm going for service again this coming sunday. there's gonna be some ang moh pastor. haha fun-ness. what's with them saying that i'm his stead? o.o
hellooo! today i went to east coast park for the geography field trip. omg it was funfunfun! haha. measured the beach gradient thingy 1st. jasmine was so freaked out when we reached the water line, she started screaming. heehee~ the waves were pretty big today! sorta a high tide too.
after we finished the measuring, it was free time! whee! so me, jasmine and anne let the waves catch our feet. it was kinda cooling at 1st, but then the tide got even higher and it got up to our skirts. it was so much fun screaming and struggling to get back on shore. there were rocks and sand in my shoes and socks. felt really uncomfortable, like the reflexology rocks thingy in parks. we also didthe paper boat experiment. yes our boat lasted 48 SECONDS! that's pretty long for a newspaper boat, which soaks water easily =.=
there was this sculpting event for families. the winner [or so we think] sure was a family who knew their sand-works. i mean, at it [refer on top]! it's so darn good. also, there was this lake thingy where people could do water skiing 360 degrees. most of them were ang mohs ;D
when i went home, the piano tuning guy was at our house but that's not my business. mummy made me wear slippers into the house cuz of the sand and rocks and water. she used some towel to clean it before sending me off to bathe. after bathing, i went with grandma to buy new shoes. upgraded from size 6 to 6 and a half :)
well that's all i'm gonna say for the east coast park trip! the hummers will have to find out themselves. oh yeah, on the way back, i bought sushi and this girl said hello to me. ok i don't know who she is, but i think she's really friendly :) and there was this other mother who hit her son HARDHARD for sitting on the floor. he cried really bad. i think the mum's being pretty fierce on her son. it's wrong to sit on "unhygenic things", but she didn't have to go to such extremes. maybe a scolding will do. i'm a kpo.
day one of "sitting with jingyi". quite fun, but in front doesn't talk to us, behind doesn't talk to us and side doesn't talk to us. zZz that's boring... anyway time really flies. jingyi said maybe it's because the clock wasn't in front of us, so we don't look at the clock so often. i don't know, but maybe she's right. she's gonna ps me for camp tomorrow!
i think i found (4)!
this is the week where everyone's getting their progress report marks and teachers are going "type type type" on their keyboards. got some of my marks back. guess i sorta slacked, but some subjects have improved in one way or another. annabel says her results are slacking too. i think she's too paranoid. i mean, she already got 3 A1 out of 5 or so subject marks that have already been revealed! i should be the more worried one eh?
we officially changed seating arrangement today. quite angry because my plan ---> yanxu's plan ---> shize's plan [official one]. the arrow thingy means "gave ideas to". see why i'm mad? you shall figure out yourself. hmph. anyway, now i'm sitting with jingyi! yay! and i'm nearer to the board so i can see! double yay! teehee! i guess i'm having mixed feelings right now :D oh yeah just remembered that now it'll be harder for CCAS to pass notes to one another. darn it.
still looking for a penpal. i know i've been saying that but not doing anything, but it's really hard to find one. i've got 5 different overseas sources to help me in my search. cousin in hawaii, cousin in texas, cousins in florida, china twinning friends and hongkong twinning friends. so many sources, yet i can't believe i can't find a penpal. oh what a failure i am D:
been really confused these few days. kept asking clara and annabel whether i should do (1) or (2). clara and annabel both say (2) but i want to do (1)! omg my head's in a mess.
i want to take up archery lessons too. mummy asked if i could find any archery lesson places. if i couldn't, too bad... sometimes i think my mum's evil. and i'm going for the geography field trip tomorrow with unity! haiz why can't i go with my fellow hummers? not that close to unity, but oh well, can't do much can i? at least i'm in jasmine's group with ashley, rachel and inglee{?} not very sure.
going to church with some hummer guys and some "i do not know people". invited by zhengwei. i'm like the only person I KNOW who's going. aww man! why can't annabel or clara or claudia go? at least i won't feel so "out". well at least it won't be a boring sunday.
2 office colleagues were talking about their husbands one morning.
Lucy: My husband always gives me a goodbye kiss every morning before I leave the office.
Mary: Isn't that lovely.
Lucy: He always buys me expensive gifts on my birthday.
Mary: Isn't that lovely.
Lucy: He takes me for exotic hoildays every year end.
Mary: Isn't that lovely.
Lucy: I've said enough about my husband. What about you? What did your husband do for you?
Mary: My husband sends me to school.
Lucy: What kind of school?
Mary: A Courtesy School.
Lucy: What did you learn?
Mary: I learn to say, "Isn't that lovely", instead of "What a boastful nut".
a good laugh always refreshens the mind ;D
beijing olympics will be closing soon. awww D: well at least there's the Singapore 2010 thingy to look forward to! yup i'm getting cheerful again! wheee! *although life is still super unfair, but whatever, i don't wanna die fairly? o.o*
term 3's coming to a close. wow time really does fly [and i'm not having fun]. the good thing is that the tests won't be coming in so frequently now and holidays are coming! the bad thing is that from now on, everyday is 24 hours closer to EOY exams. oh shucks. plus the november programme thingy. hmm should i be happy about term 3 ending? not sure yet. anyway, looking forward to outings with my beloved peeps :D
in 12 hours, i'll be on my way to school. oh phooey.
we did the pig heart dissection today! it was quite fun, although the heart was kinda slippery yet rubbery, and squishy yet tough. ok i'm not really making sense, but i just have to know what i'm talking about. you don't have to know. the heart was also a little bloody. there were many blood clots that we had to remove. took a video of clara and claudia trying to cut the heart. the video's called "Cut The Heart". i guess it's really obvious?! heehee~ too lazy to upload it for now. and i couldn't dissect anything cuz i wore my glove on the wrong hand! >< oh man... never mind i think there will be ample lab opportunities ;D i helped annabel cut the aorta. mrs ganesan's right! it's super tough and elastic. turns out we're not supposed to cut it...
had choir after school. was talking to chelyn and turned to see marcus SPLAT on the ground. i think he tripped over something. must've hurt like crazy! debra ran over [a loving sister :D] and helped him up. his chin or something was bleeding and blood dripped as he was walking out of the music room. wow o.o
well i told annabel about _____. she watched some video on youtube. haha she says he's cute too! see? i'm right. and i showed her the message paper that clara and i were passing to and fro during lesson time. now she knows everything. everything like EVERYTHING! i seem to be very open to anybody. all of a sudden i start spilling my secrets to the 7ahs. oh darn it.
STILL NOT GIVING UP ON THE PEN-PALSHIP!!! YOU ROCK DUDE!! XD i rock too.
had CIP. still got 1 more session before getting my full 6 hours. i guess i'm getting more immune to those "12 most challenging kids". they're actually quite funny, and they won't bother you if you don't bother them. quite cool.
currently addicted to radio. 91.3FM to be specific. heehee i like radio songs. way better than ipod songs [cuz they always repeat]. auntie maureen from texas got me a really cool diary. its got an interesting design and lots of inspirational quotes. now i'm deciding whether or not to write stuff in there. i can write things i don't want anyone to know about, especially... oops here come the dots again! o.o
we're gonna dissect pig heart tomorrow. 1st i'm gonna poke it, then squish it, then cut it! ooh i'm sadist! anyway i think it'll be a cool bio lesson.
still hoping for the pen-palship with ______, although i know it's just my wishful thinking. oh wells, clara said i should face reality. true of her. but i still like him though. teehee~ just decided to be a travelling photographer, taking photos of shophouses and bazaars in italy, the dolphins in gold coast etc. will definitely be the most fun thing, and i get to make INTERNATIONAL FRIENDS! hmm food for thought... haha.
YAY FOR THE WORLD, FOR THE PEOPLE, & FOR :D [*grins widely*]
today was junan's birthday. didn't know till they [3 unity folks and some ex-classmates] celebrated it after school around 2.40pm. just looking at them smiling, some laughing, makes me wonder how bonded their class is. anyone can talk to everyone in that class. they sure do live up to their class name. unity. yeah.
such a depressing week. i've been really sensitive these few days. don't know why. the littlest of things bother me very much. my thoughts run far and deep. i got the 7ahs support and all my other good peeps, but something is still missing. i keep thinking of things that will never ever happen in a billion zillion years. extremely disturbing and distracting. like... ... ... i still think he's cute, no matter what ;D
been missing out on olympics these few days. darn it. school time dominates the entire week. now there's biology supplementary on saturday. another day of olympics missed. olympics rock because... can't wait for the Singapore 2010 youth olympics, unless... then i'll be so super disappointed.
ok this blog post is full of dots. i can't write much because of the highlighting thingy. most of the details are in my mind. want to fill in the blanks? well it's not really possible unless you know what i'm talking about.
should i migrate? maybe.
i keep having high hopes that something will happen. and when it doesn't, i get so darn sad. now i'm just thinking that... oh nevermind. this is my issue. nothing to do with you. i just keep thinking so impractically. need to be more realistic. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! i'm flooding my brain with these 4 words so that my other stupid thoughts will be displaced out of my head. not really working. the more i chant it, the stronger my thoughts.
oh just forget it. i'm making this post seem so messy. sorry folks. not the ideal mood that you expect from sam.
p.s if it DOES happen, will you be my pen pal? i'll be good and brush up on my english :)
told clara some stuff. it's kinda embarrassing and strange, but yeah. watched synchronised diving. it's so :D *grins* don't ask clara. she won't tell you anything. haha. aww man missed some events today. no more synchronised diving already... i guess... i don't know? anyway now looking forward to the track events. i wanna see the hurdles and high jump. super cool! heehee cable rocks~
this post won't be the average 5 super long paragraph thingy cuz i'm running short of time. gotta chiong chemistry! woo! suddenly, i'm so inspired to perfect my english and do homework. no idea why.
FYI:
synchronised diving's super cool!
what does the olympic village look like?
daddy says they got free movies/free food/free accomodation/free arcades/free entertainment.
can't wait for Singapore 2010! *LOL*
anyway, mrs nathan found the class petition of whether we should change place or not. since majority said "yes", mrs nathan did make arrangements. one problem: no one is happy about who he/she will be sitting with! except for me though. i'm sitting with jingyi! yay! haha :D ok not anymore lah. because no one wants to change place, me and annabel hae decided to draft another seating plan, where girls and gys will be treated like the same. there won't be a "girl with girl" or "boy with boy" thing like what mrs nathan has done for now.
oh man, it's not that easy planning who sits with who. everyone has their own requests. like "i want to sit in front" or "i don't want to sit next to this person". we try to take everyone's interest at heart, but PLEASE, DON'T GIVE US A HARD TIME!! phew that was a mouthful o.o
so much for class bonding. yesterday, mr anba caught me for my hair and skirt. so unlucky lor! i did dismissal duty at the wrong place. if i did it a the right place, i wouldn't have been caught. well, what's done has been done. i'm so guai to pin my hair up today :) and i don't look that bad too. maybe i shall make this my pemanent hairstyle. whee!~
just another 2 days to olympics and 3 days to "happy birthday singapore!" woo i'm so excited! my sis, bro and cousin's school have given them cards to write good luck greetings for the singapore athletes going to beijing. so unfair! why don't we have cards to write? D:
teehee~ currently playing msn games with clara. waiting for her game to load. aww man why can't she play so many games?
still loading.
and loading.
and loading.
"sian" is another word for bored ;D
the girls are supposed to wear shorts underneath for VIP tomorrow. no idea why, just know that it's gonna be some class activity. oh no what to do? i only have 1 pair of shorts which has already been used for pe today. oh darn. i guess my shorts are in for serious ironing before i wear it AGAIN tomorrow. *sigh* my parents and their limited knowledge of FBTs. "curse" is not a good word :) see i'm so guai. teehee~ probably i'm one of the super duper few GIRLS who don't wear FBTs [or even have one]. yay i'm so unique.
ate frozen durian [not durian ice cream] yesterday night while going online. haha it's not easy chatting with others on msn cuz i only can use 1 hand. anyway the durian was nice ;D the smell still kinda lingers on my fingers though, but it's going away soon.
just 3 weeks till end of term, then it's down to EOY exams! oops gotta workworkwork! my sister has guitar lessons, roller-blading lessons and camp after PSLE! everything's organised by her school. so unfair!
FYI:
~ that picture on your right >>> is shaun the sheep, not some random sheep grazing the grass. ever watched shaun the sheep on disney channel? heehee.
~ i guess i'm getting used to sitting beside those 2 freaks. maybe it's cuz jingyi and huibing were sitting behind me during chinese lesson today.
~ according to my dad, my sleeping periods are reversed o.o
next came bio! we learnt about the different blood groups. oh so super confusing man. at first i thought it was really easy, but then as mrs ganesan taught, i got more confused. it was only after the role-playing thing that i finally gottit. and then i forgot again. zzz... anyway i like bio lessons. they're always so fun :D mrs ganesan said that the week after prelims, all lessons will be practical! woo i'm so excited! all about the pig heart and the gelatin thingy, can't wait :)
after bio was geography. we got back our test, and i scored only 8/25?! it's not that i didn't know the answer, but i didn't understand the question. aiyo so wasted. together with my ss marks, i only got 44/100 for combined humanities! mr koh said there will be a field trip on week 10, followed by a test. but by that time the report book for term 3 would have been returned to us, means the test is only counted next term. i'm gonna have an underline under my combined humanities marks! mummy and daddy sure ban me from using the computer!
after school, went for choir. practised ndp songs and tried it out in the hall. mr tong said that we need to be "infectious", spreading the happy and cheerful spirit to everyone. went back to the music room. apparently the first row has "no space to dance", so me and nicole got pushed back to make a fifth row. at first i thought, "nevermind, as long as the people can see me on the steps, that's fine." but you know what? karyn said thatthe fourth row is already on the stage, means that the fifth row is behind the fourth row on stage! in other words, i can't be seen at all! so unfair i tell you! this is gonna be my last ndp performance, and i can't be seen. all the other sec 3s are fourth row and below, except for me. what's the use of even performing? haiz... tingying tried consoling me. felt a little better. thanks ;D
oh just remembered that when i was about to leave school with huixin, annabel used her A maths text book to hit my head, causing a severe baluku and a slight headache o.o i think she meant to surprise me or something, but it didn't really work out too well.
another day, another 24 hours of bad things.
