IF LIFE WAS A BUCKET OF PEARLS

2010-10-03T21:29:00.001+08:00

Hi non-readers, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE 2AM! :DDD

Okay don't know why I'm suddenly in this strange obsessed fangirl kinda mood, but yeah, they're really superduperhypermega awesome!

Just had dinner like an hour ago, and now I'm eating some super annoying grapes. They're those small things that you have to pluck slowly to eat. Plus, it's a whole lot on one branch (like 100 plus? no kidding) so it's really an excrutiatingly tedious job just to pluck them. And it's small so only a little bit of grape flesh/juice actually comes out when you chew. Good workout for your arms and fingers though. Speaking of which, I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED TO EXERCISE, if not I won't be able to fit into my jeans! Honest! O: Man this is embarrassing to post on my blog, but no one reads this, so yeah, nevermind.

Today we had service as usual, then went to Bedok for lunch and then jalaning around Orchard. Finally stopped by Macs at Heeren to play Monopoly Deal. Wow, it's like my 4th or 5th time playing without any help. The game requires lots of skill and luck and logic, which I'm seriously lacking. I mean:

1) Logic - You know how my brain works. My mind can actually weave impossible situations that I really want to happen, not to mention that those thoughts can get pretty ahead of themselves too. So yeah, I guess my mind has everything but logic.
2) Luck - Trick! When I believe in God, I don't believe in luck :D Everything good comes from God's blessing (: NO LUCK.
3) Skill - HELLO?? This was only my 4th time playing it, obviously I haven't had enough "practise" yet to make me a Monopoly Deal pro! So no skill!

See, that's why I think I'm not that cut out for that game.. yet. Though yes I admit, it's a pretty fun game! :D

After that I was on my way home, and I met Jianhui and Fiona at Serangoon station holding hands! Jianhui seemed to be walking a tad too fast and pulling Fiona along though O.O Anyway, it was sweet to see them like that (: Then I asked Jianhui why they weren't holding the finger-interlocking style, and he said cos it's too warm. Hmm, really? I thought that love was supposed to feel warm (:

Poo, I'm like seriously addicted to Korean variety shows with those kpop idols. They're really fun to watch! :D One thing: I somehow don't like it when they pair my favourite guy idols to some girl ones, or when girl idols appear in the same episode as my favourite guy idols >:( Jealous much? Maybe :/ Oops. Heh. But then you might be thinking that "hey, then there aren't THAT many shows you like to watch!" Au contraire my good friend :D Star Golden Bell is nice, though the front bit's a little draggy. And so is Idol Army (not the couple episodes). Okay fine, why do I always get so jealous over meaningless things? Hmm then again, if I could actually get jealous, means it has some significance. I wonder what.

Will probably be getting my iPhone tomorrow! :D OMGOSH I'M EGGXITED. My sis will be getting one too, but she doesn't want to give up her iTouch to my bro! What's up with that man, stingy fellow :/

Results tomorrow, I pray/hope that I will get nice and pretty results. All the best!

Well anyway, gotta now. Still haven't finished my enormous bunch of super tiny grapes.

OCTOBER FEVER

2010-10-03T00:17:00.000+08:00

breaking news: sam has officially declared 2 october to be Sam Is Really Nuts day. on this day, sam's gonna open up her crazy mind for exhibition. folks from all around will get to discover a whole new side to this spunky kid. heehee :D opening hours have yet to be released, but sam stated that this will be a "fun and enjoyable experience for the whole family". yep, we sure dont't wanna be missing this! so see you there! :DDD

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I WROTE THIS. SCARIEST PART IS I DIDN'T EVEN GIVE A THOUGHT ABOUT IT, LIKE AUTOMATIC TYPING. GOSH.
sincerely, sam :D
xoxo.

So this was what I tweeted today. Gotta admit, I'm pretty impressed that my brain could just automatically come up with this load of bullpoop :D Seriously, I didn't have to think very much. And don't know what made me post this on Twitter too. Hahaha. Even someone like Ryan could say that my brain has officially konked out! O: It must be that awesome.

Anyway, Mrs Lee Kwan Yew passed away today at 89 years old. Really, she's such a fighter to have been able to live this long. I really admire her a lot (: R.I.P. Mrs Lee, you have contributed loads to this country to bring us where we are today. You may be gone, but your legacy will forever be imprinted in Singapore's history. And yes, condolences to the Lee family too.

Well it's official, I should be getting my iPhone 4 this coming monday, tuesday or wednesday! Excited much :D Actually my mum said I could get it today if I went to Compasspoint. And no, it's not that I didn't get my phone today cos I was lazy to go all the way to Sengkang. Frankly speaking, it's pretty nearby. It's cos I like that feeling of anticipation before I get my iPhone. Like, gives me a sense of satisfaction. Agreed? :D

You know what I've been thinking? I think it'll be pretty cool if some celebrity accidentally stumbled upon this very blog and goes "hmm, I like her style." Then I'll be famous and this will be some celebrity blog. I'm thinking too much, you say? Yeah I get that a lot! (especially from my best friend) But he supports me anyway (: And won't it be cool if there was some sort of admission fee to enter my celebrity blog?! I could charge like 4 bucks per person. WOW.

*snaps out of my fantasy*

Like I said, this blog is kinda for ranting, something like an addition to Twitter for me. But yeah, the above is an example of how much nonsense my brain can come up with. Most of the time it's got something to do with celebrities and stardom. What's up with that? O: Could it be a sign? Hoho.

P.S, I wrote on FB that my blog's been revived. Apparently no one read that status. Tumblr seems to be more popular now. Oh well, then I can rant more without anyone knowing! :D (I guess?)
P.P.S, I like singing. *hinthint* Heh.

BACK IN ACTION

2010-09-30T19:09:00.002+08:00

OH MY GOSH BABY I'M BACK! :D You wonder why? Yeah me too. Hahaha. Well, about half a year since I last posted (time flies - not really). And it's my first post on my laptop for school. Coolio right? Surfing Facebook and chatting on MSN during lessons :D Best part: teachers don't really mind either! (not that they don't care okay, 2 different things)

Okay well anyway, a lot has happened during this 6 months that I've been MIA and thus resulting in my blog collecting lots of cyber dust. I'm not gonna blog about whatever that has happened cos it'll take me forever, so I'm just gonna start off from more recently (yep, that means no CLS camp post or exams or whatnot).

So first of all, you know that kpop fever that's hit our tiny island? Well, I'm a victim of it too -.- More specifically, I like 2AM, U-KISS, C.N Blue and MBLAQ. Hahaha :D And yes, they're all guy bands. No, I'm not a despo flirty bimbo or anything of that sort. Somehow I find guy bands having more talent than girl bands. Total truth, no biasness. Following some of them on Twitter too! Half the time (or more) they tweet in Korean, so I use Google Translator, which gives a direct translation and jumbled up english words. Hoho. Oh yes, going to Seoul in December! Excited for it :D And I'm happy that today's the last day of September. FINALLY! Gonna get there and hopefully bump into my fave groups (0.0000001% chance). See, I didn't give a straight 0% cos well, anything can happen. Will definitely blog about the Korea trip when I get back. Remind me please :D

And about the iPhone 4 that hit the market here 2 months ago.. I WANT ONE. My dad was really sneaky cos he bought one for himself and used it for like 5 days without any one of us knowing about it. Poop. To think the previous day he showed us HIS iPhone, he still asked why I wanted one! O: Hope I get one soon. Supposed to meet my dad at Heartland on Monday to go see, but apparently I didn't know about it before, so he went to get a haircut instead. Now I'm hoping that he also went to help me order :D

On holidays now till October 18th. Yeah I know you're prolly wondering why my holidays are so frequent. It's pretty cool to just slack at home, but then there's no purpose in it either :/ Kinda sucks after a while. Exam results coming out next Monday! Gosh I'm nervous. *at least 3.5 GPA please!* Anyway, going to WWW with Gados tomorrow! If you don't know, they're my bunch of friends from the CLS camp which I'm not blogging about. Hope that the weather is nice to us tomorrow, and not like that super lethargic rainy day today.

Well I'm gonna stop here for now. If there's anything more, I'll come back to rant on it :D Sayonara!

OOH, WOW.

2010-03-24T02:53:00.000+08:00

today i went to SP (for the first time as a student! :D) for the CLS camp briefing. smsed jianming on the way, and sorta decided to meet him to go in, but then he said they gathered them at the mrt station, so he was going in already. so, yeah. anyway i was confident of finding the briefing place myself (: i did something quite embarrassing on the way to school though.

1) at outram park station, the green line part. the train came and as usual, i was about to go in. and you know, usually they have maintenance or whatever for green line trains, and they'll announce "your attention please, the train at platform A terminates it's service at outram park interchange" or whatever station. thanks to my ear piece stuffed in my ears, i couldn't hear the announcement and boarded the train -.- there was this lady in front of me who was about to board but suddenly stopped. so i just thought she wasn't sure of what train she was supposed to take. when i went in, i was like "wow, this train's pretty empty (:" then those staff in red came chasing people out of it. thank God they were there, otherwise i would have just sat down like some idiot. and THANK GOD I WASN'T THE ONLY PERSON WHO MADE SUCH A MISTAKE :D

2) when i reached dover (finally!), i didn't expect the train door to open the opposite side compared to the previous stations. so i walked to the normal side that i saw open for the previous stations, and was wondering why the door didn't open. then i saw that the tracks were below the door, and i was like "wait, this is wrong." just then the other side doors opened. felt extremely ps about it! felt like burying my head in the ground like ostriches. so many people saw me, and there was an aura of confidence surrounding me. i wonder how i managed to keep such a straight face during that moment.

yeah, well, jianming said that there were people there to "fetch" them to the briefing area. i did see people, but they didn't stop me or whatever, so i walked straight in... and got lost -.- SP is humongous. too enormous for a small fry like me. LOL. i sorta walked to T11A, then i called jianming to ask where he was. he said something about umbrellas an walking down this step thing. in the end i just met him at the convention centre area. and you know what? THE AREA WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MEET AT WAS SOMEWHAT JUST BELOW MY FEET WHEN I WAS NEAR T11A. gosh, i walked one big round. anyway it was a good workout :D

did self-intro and played icebreakers with the other CLS campers. it felt pretty awkward at first, but i guess we all warmed up to each other. haha. saw aloysius and vanessa too. today was more like a camp preview rather than a briefing. the briefing was really short, maybe like 10 minutes? the camp chief looks just like an older version of david. i was so amused when i saw him. HAHA :D we also got to know our group and GLs. my group is cool. YAY. thank God all of us in the group managed to click with each other easily (: and yes! i made an OFFICIAL new friend today! not those where you just know their name and what they look like, but a real one! her name is phyllis, and she's in optometry. no one expected me to make any friends on briefing day, but i guess my friendly self has done it again! :D woohoo!

looking forward to camp next week! they told us to bring clothes that we CAN bear to throw away, so i expect it to be pretty hiong. haha. that makes me even more excited :D and it's overnight! like, wow.

p.s. i sorta got a tan line where my pants were cos i was sitting in the sun while we were doing icebreakers. kewl. only saw it when i was showering, and i totally O: to myself. heehee :D

OUT OF TOUCH

2010-03-09T01:33:00.000+08:00

hello people. sorry for not blogging for so long. truth is, actually i'm waiting till after FO camp to blog, cos by then, at least i would have some interesting stuff to post (: otherwise in every post, i would be rattling about random things. well anyway, i DO have something to post today.

auntie doris called thi morning to say that i could have the data entry job at AIG. after i accepted it, there were many phone calls from the H dept and the temp job agency etc. i had to change to my sweet and polite way of talking. heh. well, apparently, i'm not gentle enough to be a girl, and i talk REALLY loudly (betcha didn't know that! *don't answer*). my folks say that i might have some hearing problem, but hey, my ipod volume is only like a quarter of the max ok, and i can hear much much better than some of my family members. especially when i'm home alone, that's when i switch to ninja mode and my hearing becomes way sharp :D

ok well, i learnt that it was a 6 day work week, meaning that i won't be able to go for cgm for the next 4 weeks! got kinda upset by it, so i cried a little. when i got myself organised, God told me to turn down the offer. it was like a mind war going on, cos i calculated and turns out i'll earn about 1300 bucks! so anyway, i called auntie doris and the temp job agent and declined the offer. it's scary to talk to office professionals, cos i need to think of how to phrase my sentence in proper ~~ingrish~~ english while not forgetting my manners.

enough of that. something funny happened today too! it all started when my brother asked if i could let him use the laptop...
didi: can i use it now?
sam: nah, take it.
*didi logs on facebook* (yes, he has a facebook account. SURPRISE SURPRISE!)
grandma: hey san shushu bought this biscuit from korea. he said it's very nice.
*grandma opens pack and pours some in a bowl*
sam: hey not bad!
grandma: bring into the room and share with didi.
sam: nah, you want?
*didi takes the whole bowl and eats on the bed while playing crazy planets*
sam: hey! you see la, you drop biscuit on the bed.
didi: no i didn't, this is biscuit CRUMBS.

i was like totally O: then i laughed to myself and thought: wow, my brother is starting to grasp this "out-talking" thing from me! i must be genius. HAHA :D it was a bittersweet feeling cos this is the first time a 9 year old kid made me speechless. gosh. kids these days are getting real smart. oh heck, i'm a kid too! :DD yippee!

3 good things about being a guy:
- you get to ogle at pretty girls.
- you don't get pms.
- urine tests for you should be easy peasy.

the radiographer at hougang polyclinic is mean D:

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SCHOOL! :DDDDDD there's flag day for SP freshmen though. oh well, lol.

p.s. i had a stiff neck since the morning, and it got worse as the day went by. i think the head rotation exercise during choir just aggravated my neck muscles.

p.p.s. i think i have amazing memory (: cos i managed to memorise word power verses 1-10 in 1 and a half hours. actually i recited all i memorised from time to time, so i think i technically took 1 hour to memorise. spent 15 minutes just now to memorise 11-13. yay me, but most importantly, thank God :D

gosh, long post.

WHAT'S DONE IS DONE

2010-02-11T00:02:00.000+08:00

HAHA! I'M SO AMUSED AT THIS POINT IN TIME! :D AND, IT'S PRETTY HARD TO EXPLAIN IT (YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE EXPERIENCED/WILL EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURELF). SO, I'M JUST GONNA LAUGH MY HEAD OFF.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

:D
:D
:D

*head rolls off, sam picks it up and pops it back in place*

ahem, ok now that i've finally cooled down.. i still can't find the right words to explain it! man, this is annoying. nevermind la, some things are better left untold. ooh, how mystical. LOL.

just want you all to know that, well, singapore ain't that big after all. won't be surprised that after a MAJOR reshuffle of workplaces and schools and all that, everyone would have known everyone else! :D it's like, we're all trapped in this complicated spider web of connections. i guess eventually i'll get used to all these amazing interlinking stuff.

till then, i shall just be super suaku about it.

this is mega awesome :D

and yes, once again i have swiped the laptop :DD

DUMDEEDUM

2010-02-10T00:49:00.000+08:00

yay, hello! :D exceptionally happy for idk what reason. LOL!
ok well, yesterday's been a pretty boring day (i use "yesterday" cos it's past 12 already). slacked for the whole day, and ate a large whipped potato from kfc that my mum dabao-ed back for me. heehee. i like whipped potato, especially when it has lots and lotsa gravy. and well, what's the difference between whipped potato and mashed potato? today i said "mashed potato", then my grandma corrected me and said "NO! it's whipped potato". then i was like "aiya, same la". haha :D

oh and huibing asked me if i was interested in helping wantian's aunt to work at a redemption counter at sun plaza. the pay's like 5 bucks an hour, and working time's 10am to 10pm. i was like "YEAH!" was pretty excited cos it's gonna be my FIRST job of the holiday (yes, i know it's pretty late). then after that, huibing said i couldn't go anymore, cos the boss said that they can't have 2 kids working together. sheesh. there goes my first job D: i was really looking forward to it. so anyway, on the bright side, huibing and i have like 8 weeks to play and find jobs. hoho.

my folks imposed this stupid "10pm computer shutdown" curfew thing on me. yeah it sucks, considering that sometimes i stay online till like 2am. this is like a 4 hour cutdown! i guess they did this cos i fell ill during the weekends due to lack of rest. i went for service on sunday though. was just recovering then, so my germs were not lingering inside me, but AROUND me. this means that i was HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS when i went for service. hopefully i didn't spread the germs to my cg :/ fiona fell ill yesterday though, heh.

i bet you're probably wondering why i'm blogging at this kinda time though i'm supposed to be banned. well, my grandma sorta hid the laptop, then when my folks were watching tv, she whispered to me "hey, the laptop is here. go and shower till mummy and daddy sleep, then come and take the laptop." wow, my grandma's really nice to me, even from young :D i love her.

it's been about 1 week since i don't have my student concession. i have spent like at least 12 bucks on travel fares.

R.I.P. STUDENT CONCESSION

2010-02-02T23:45:00.001+08:00

well, today was the first time i used my ez link without concession. took train from my house at kovan to sengkang for alumni choir practice. my gosh, when i tapped out, the fare was 95 cents! just taking 3 stops. i felt happy and sad at the same time. happy cos like "hey! i'm finally getting a taste of adulthood!" and sad cos "hey! i'm finally getting a taste of adulthood!" ok fine, the same reason, but just looking at both sides of the coin.

last time when i still had student concession (man i feel old), sitting from punggol to harbourfront costs like 39 cents only? actually, come to think of it, switching train lines all over singapore still won't add up to 95 cents! and i just took THREE stations on the same line! this is just stupid. going to school without uniform doesn't make me an adult. ok maybe to uni students, they are adults. but i'm just 16, dude! i don't work full-time or have a high salary or something. i'm only a cute, sweet, lovable, innocent kid who's gonna start school in april :D

every tap of the ez link is like a punch to the heart D: this is so unfair. i am not looking forward to single BEEPS during bus rides.

i'd probably spend like at least 2000 bucks just on transport for this year. i calculated.

note to self: tap out when getting off the bus.

OH SHEESH

2010-02-01T01:46:00.007+08:00

BYEBYE TO STUDENT CONCESSION! D:

OH MAN.
OH MAN.
OH MAN.
OH MAN.
OH MAN.

i'm old.

first post for february! yay me :D

RAIN OR SHINE

2010-01-31T23:30:00.000+08:00

helloooooooooooooo!

service this morning. today, dr niko came to preach the gospel, and he brought along his indonesian worship team and some family members and disciples! the worship team was really good! the worship leader was this guy who is like in his 50s (he started 4 churches), and he had an amazingly good voice :D when i heard it, i was like "WOW, he's awesome." their indonesian worship is pretty much like ours, except that they incorporate dance steps into their praise. HAHA! we had to dance along today. though it's not as sophisticated as mass dance in school, believe me, it was super fun :DD

dr niko is a very anointed man of God! though he was speaking indonesian throughout and there was a translator, i could feel the power of the Word upon me. and his message today was very simple, about how we should give thanks to God and serve Him to ensure us a spot in the heavenly kingdom, and how we can look forward to 2010. i felt impacted, anyway, cos i could feel that God presence today was just really strong :D

well, so after service, we went to tampines S-11 foodcourt to fellowship. on the bus there, me, jianhui, jasper and desmond were talking nonsense (: like from NS, to breaking chicken heads off the bodies, to deciding whether we have the right to eat food (cos it's wrong to kill animals, and plants hurt when you pluck them from their roots - according to desmond), and i also told them something lame about pulling peope's legs. desmond said that he felt like separating my head from my body (and that was how the chicken convo started). HAHAHA!! funny people from an awesome cell group :DDD

ohhh, and the main thing we talked about is the student concession that'll be ending in like half an hour! yes, i'm going to poly, and so i don't have concession anymore. oh gosh, that sucks. cos i can't take anymore meaningless train and bus rides (not that i ever had, but i plan to), and transport fares will be much much more expensive, so i'll be draining my parents' wallets just to top up my card ): the worse part: i won't hear my own card making the "beep beep" sound when i ride a bus. now it'll be a loud "BEEP!" reminds me that i'm getting old. anyway, i've passed the middle age of teenhood! damn.

WHY MUST I PAY ADULT PRICE? DO I EVEN LOOK LIKE AN ADULT TO YOU?! EVEN PEOPLE OLDER THAN ME IN JC STILL HAVE CONCESSION. WE ARE CALLED POLY STUDENTS FOR A REASON YOU KNOW!

on a brighter note, huibing's getting her appeal results this friday! hope she gets into the same course as me! :D

TOO MUCH HOLIDAY

2010-01-30T21:28:00.002+08:00

well, those JC folks have started school and orientation and all that already, while i still have like 10 weeks of holiday left. i know my previous sentence might make people jealous, but trust me, i'm suffering in silence. i even had so much time to count the number of facebook friends i currently have. it showed 322, but i counted 323. feeling disturbed ):
bottom line:

IT'S SO BORING!

almost everyday when i'm on facebook, i'd post something that involves me being bored. lol. i seriously can't wait for school to start. and frankly speaking, i'm actually pretty envious of those JC people who post stuff about orientation and how they get like a thousand friend requests on facebook. HAHA. who knew i'd get jealous over such a trivial matter?! anyhoo, uncle ji (who lectures in NP) says that poly orientation is much more fun than JC ones. oh boy (:

yesterday, noel and i were sorta complaining about how facebook and msn have become so quiet since those JC people started school. well, for the first time, i actually agreed with him! too bad it's during the point that we're about to move off to different schools. haha. i told him this:

"NO MATTER, BY THE TIME WE START HAVING FUN DURING ORIENTATION AND POSTING ABOUT IT, THOSE JC FOLKS WILL BE MUGGING THEIR BRAINS OUT."

:D

gosh, i sound mean. but it's sorta just to make us feel better, so, pardon me :D

today, had cell group a david's house as usual. haha, every cell group session is full of laughter, yet teeming with meaning :D enjoyable, as always. learnt about having the right keys to receiving miracles (: after that, had fellowship at j8's food court.

grandparents' house after that. played some games with my mum, siblings and cousins. haha. we played Cat & Mouse, Pictureka and Waves (also the game we played for cg today :D). was quite surprised that they sorta picked up the game quite quickly! even my brother started playing Waves like a pro (: LOL!

got into trouble with my dad a few moments ago. my phone bill rose to 200 plus bucks this month! *everyone say "wow"* partly cos of the mobile web thing. you see, it was all a misunderstanding. my mum once said something about the internet and how we need to pay even if we don't use it, so i thought she was referring to the mobile web thing. that's why i just used it like no one's business. who knew it'd incur like $118 in bills?! crazy. plus, i overshot my sms by 537 smses. thank God my dad didn't do anything drastic to my phone.

so my dad askedme to explain to my mum. it was scary at first, but she didn't really scold me. in fact, it was more like casual talk. we sorta jumped issues, from the phone bill to my uncle's family having one laptop for each person, to pineapples. and yes, I'M ALLERGIC TO PINEAPPLES, JUST LIKE MY MUM (cos she asked me to lick the one she was cutting). and also some antibiotic that she's allergic to also. haha, i think i'm catching her genes. yessiree.

EVERYTIME i wanna post something nice and easy, it comes up to THIS. whatever, i didn't even say this post was gonna be short and nice :/ LOL.

p.s. my brother is funny cos just now he was using the laptop to go to the loco roco website, then after playing for like one hour, he came to me at the desktop and asked if he could use it. so i swapped places with him (yes i was using the desktop just now). then i heard him playing the same loco roco game on the desktop! xD

"BECAUSE I DIDN'T USE THE DESKTOP." was his excuse. sometimes i really wonder what's up with him.

Bowling For Soup is just awesome :D

AS IF IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED

2010-01-27T13:00:00.001+08:00

hello folks. MOE smsed the posting results this morning, and yep, i got into...

SP BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE.

:D my heart was pounding like mad when i opened the sms. i also don't know why. haha. well, seems like i'm gonna be classmates with jianming and russell again. wow, 7 years for russell, 5 years for jianming. LOL! annabel applied for it too, but she sorta appealed to AJC. gotta wait till next week to see if she got in or not. most likely, she's there. congrats to all who got into their desired choices. for those who are kinda disappointed, it's ok. God always has something good in store for everyone :D

yesterday, i went for a photography tour thingy with annabel and claudia. i felt the most tomboy cos i was the only one NOT wearing a dress. haha. went to haji lane first and took lotsa photos! (like 60 plus) then we went to clarke quay and took around 40 plus photos. it was really fun, cos we get to do crazy stuff in public. we were also kinda careful not to get gagged by the just for laughs people XD photos are all on facebook. if you're not my facebook friend, then.. HAHA. annabel tagged me in like 52 photos! i had 91 notifications when i logged on yesterday, and more than half of it was "annabel yeo has tagged a photo of you". LOL! totally spam. after clarke quay, we went to vivo city. stopped by forever 21 for like almost an hour to look at the clothes.

"IF I WAS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, I'D BUY ONE OF EVERYTHING FROM FOREVER 21."

that was what i told annabel and claudia. HAHA :D

we went to the rooftop area, but they drained the water in the pool to do some maintenance or something, so, no photos from vivo city.

after that took mrt all the way to compass point to meet up with clara. had dinner at mos burger (but i sneaked in a hotdog). i felt so guilty for eating outside food there, but clara, annabel and claudia kept saying that it will be fine. left for alumni choir practice. so many people didn't go :/

what i ate for the whole of yesterday:
1 bread for breakfast.
1 hotdog for tea/dinner.
1 mamee noodle pack when i got hungry in the middle of the night.

and i am not on a diet!.

gee, now i'm craving for some wanton mee.

SUNDAY FUNDAY

2010-01-24T18:56:00.000+08:00

hey wassup peepo. today, after service, i went with the N346 to watch The Tooth Fairy! :D HAHA. it's ultra funny (: i think our entire group (like 18 of us?) were super noisy in the cinema :/ especially david and fiona! wow, sitting beside both of them is like... heh. idk what word to use, and with my limited vocab, it just makes it worse! LOL! ok no la, to be optimistic, i'll say those 2 are fun to be with :D david kept telling everyone that fiona is his "friend who's at the movies for the first time, so don't mind her." then fiona just kept screaming, "EHHHHH!" cute :D LYNETTE DIDN'T COME TODAY! she promised she'll come next week. BETTER KEEP YOUR PROMISE!

to fiona: why couldn't i eat the popcorn? o.o

~~when~~ went home with my sis from tampines interchange. one thing i learnt: in the afternoons, sit on the left side. in the early evenings, sit on the right side. you know how sometimes/most of the time i'd say that i wanna get tan? well i wanna add one more bit. i only like getting tan on the beach or some water park or swimming pool, not in a bus. plus, i was feeling really lethargic in the bus, so it just made everything worse D:

p.s. today when we were walking out of hall 1, some fellow pulled/pushed my ~~bagpack~~ ~~backpack~~ haversack. then i turned around but couldn't find any "suspicious" people. hmmm. darn i should have watched Sherlock Holmes. then i'll know what he'd do! :D maybe some fingerprint test or something? kewl.

i love God.
i love City Harvest.
i love N346.

RAIN

2010-01-21T17:40:00.000+08:00

hello again! yay, finally i have caught ONE episode of Chowder on tv! after like 2 weeks man :D it was the sleep eater one. hoho.

today i went roaming around hearland mall with fiona. was supposed to meet her at 1.15pm, but i woke up at 1pm! WOW. so i told her "why not let's meet at 2 instead." Thank God she's not petty. HAHA :D and i didn't know she's the kind who tries the makeup tester thing on posters rather than her own skin :/ it's like, vandalism? haha.

SPECIALLY FOR HUIBING!

and yes, forgot to mention that when we were at sentosa, we went to play luge. we occupied 3 of the skyride things. annabel, claudia and clara were in the first, me and huibing in the second, and wantian and jingyi in the third. wow, who knew that the ride went up so high! huibing and i were sorta like screaming and looking down (idk why we were looking down. maybe for the fun of it :D).

we also kept on discussing about what would happen if we dropped our slippers. CONCLUSION: NOTHING. clara, in front, was like hiding her head in annabel's armpit or something throughout the whole ride XD after a while, we decided to use our loud voices for soemthing more productive than screaming our heads off. so we sang happy birthday to annabel! wantian and jingyi followed, but the timing was a little off. or maybe it's cos of the speed of sound, so we heard ourselves first, then wantian and jingyi's. ok, i shall not go into physics (: i must admit: the skyride was MUCH more fun than the luge. my arm almost broke off while riding the luge D: AND I GOT STUCK HALFWAY!

well, huibing, here you go :D

BUBBLE WRAP

2010-01-20T22:57:00.001+08:00

woohoo! i'm back after many days of procrastination. HAHA :D

so many things have happened over the past week or so. i went for the poly open house at SP and NP with annabel and wantian. something funny happened at SP:
*3 of us walking around*
sam: let's see if i can find someone i know who's here.
*5 seconds past*
sam: eh hello wanyi!

LOLOL. then when we went to the new life science block, i saw jianhui and some of his friends. haha, it was funny.

the following day i went for NP open house again with jingyi. we went to check out the business courses they had, and also, well, try to find my uncle for the SECOND time. but alas, mission failed again. something super embarrassing happened on the way to SP. you see, jingyi wasn't very familiar about the bus services around that area, so i had to, supposedly, "lead" the way. after quite a while in the bus, i saw the SP sign and said "eh press the bell!" so jingyi did, and we prepared to leave (we were sitting on the upper deck). jingyi, being the kiasu auntie, went down the steps first. the bus uncle saw jingyi getting off the bus, but he didn't see me coming down the steps! so both of us gave the O: face when i was about to leave the bus, but then the uncle closed the door and drove off. it was like, super embarrassing. lucky i had the guts to stop him. so, as i got off the bus, both of us laughed and laughed :D then i realised that we stopped off 1 stop early -.- what luck!

oh and i got 9 points for l1r4 and 12 points for l1r5! :DDD minusing the cca, i would have 7 and 10 points! WOW! was super duper happy that day, i screamed and jumped around XD congrats to everyone who did their best during the Os. and i also thank God, cos He was the one who blessed me with my results (: yayyy.

well, after results day, we had the next 4 days to key in the posting choices. anyway i went to sentosa on friday, so i only had 3 days. 3 days to fill in 12 choices! my mum and grandma kept bugging me 24/7 on what my choices will be. so anyway, i put SP biomed, then NP biomed, then NP vbs as my first 3 choices. won't tell you the rest. HAHA.

referring to the previous paragraph, yes i did go sentosa last friday with 7ahs to celebrate annabel's 17th birthday! (yes annabel, i will pay back the 3 years worth of birthday presents that i owe you.) we had a picnic at palawan beach, then we went around the place to the different attractions. did you know they have an animal show there? HAHA. maybe i'm just suaku :/ finally went to underwater world after almost 8 or 9 years. i suppose the baby fish i had seen 8 to 9 years ago have all grown up!

"I HAVE WATCHED THEM SINCE YOUNG. NOW THAT THEY HAVE FINALLY GROWN UP AND ARE INDEPENDENT, IT SURE BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES."

HAHA!

yesterday i went to j8 with claudia, annabel, clara, zhongming, zhiqi and valerian to watch Cirque du Freak: A Vampire's Assistant. boy, that shows pretty good! i think there might be a part 2, based on the ending. the main guy, darren, is like, wow. EYE CANDY :D had choir with HIHS alumni in the evening. so much to do for the upcoming concert!

today i went back to CCPS with jeslyn, chloe, huijun, sharmane and kezia. i tell you, that school's getting way artsy fartsy. everywhere you go, you see art pieces by the students. and i never imagined myelf to have been as short as the P1s once. like what people say, i'm really short, but they haven't even reached my shoulders yet! said hi to some teachers and ms teo, the principal. ms ng barely remembers me, but she said i did look familiar. HAHA! after that, we went to chloe's house to slack and have a movie marathon. HER HOUSE IS SUPER NICE. and lucky, it's only 5 bus stops away from mine!

oh, wow, in this very post, i have touched on like 6 subjects in detail. whee~ :D i rock la.

i LOVE bubble wrap! :D

oh oh, one last thing. bringing lynette to church this sunday! phew, finally, after like 2 months of "next week"s.

WHEE!

2010-01-02T00:00:00.000+08:00

yo. today's been a pretty slow and easy day for yours truly... and i suppose all the other neighbours of mine. you see, there were a couple of wild new year parties around the place last night from about 11pm to 2 plus. this big group of people downstairs kept blowing those party tooters that were driving me nuts! D: i also saw people playing with sparklers at the balcony, while other houses had people jumping like kangaroos. HAHA! my angmoh neighbours downstairs, too, had some good fun. they had over some friends and were super noisy, singing songs and whatnots :D when it was 12am, everyone shouted "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" together. it was really awesome; not like the typical night time silence you would get on any other day (: and i noticed that the people downstairs had a one-second headstart during the countdown from 10 to 1, compared to the one that was showing on tv. HAHA.

guess what time i slept.
5am! :D

mum thought i slept at three. cos she asked me and i went "uhmm..." and she said "three right?" and i said "yeah! :D"

guess what time i woke up.
1.30pm! :D

my breakfast = lunch.

today i went to hort park via the long forest walk thingy at harbourfront. again, like last week, it was raining D: anyway, it was a really really long walk, but on the way we saw trees shaped like a zombie, a dog, a hand holding something and a hand that looked like it wanted to pursue a ear-digging career :D i bought this stripy cactus from hort park, while my mum and sis bought this succulent, which had a nickname "living rock". after that, we walked back that really really long walk.

had dinner at some coffee shop at west coast. the yu tou mi fen was really awesome, though i didn't like the soup cos of the strong XO. by the way, it's "ex oh", not an emoticon (: after that, we left the place. mum asked if i wanted to pee, cos the ride home would be pretty long. i confidently said "nope".

oh my oh my, how wrong was i -.- barely 15 minutes into the car ride, i felt my abdomen starting to feel heavy, like i was 3 months pregnant, no kidding! i guess the pee started to accumulate rapidly, cos then it felt really horrible and i knew my pee hole muscle couldn't take it much longer. the worse part was, there was no place to stop and take a toilet break. i kept on singing my phone songs so i might be able to divert my attention. for the first time, i was really hoping for a super short car ride. and, since it had rained earlier, there were water droplets on the window which reminded me of pee! i think i held my super high tide for like half and hour before rushing to the toilet when we got home :/ and on the ride home, i kept thinking of whether i'll get some kidney problem or something. scary. and i was also thinking of all the "need to pee" scenes in cartoons, like fairly oddparents and chowder! :D

darn, i think i have a row of ulcers on my top lip. hurts like crazy D:

does anyone remember the joke about a pink gorilla? o.o

HAPPY 2010!

2010-01-01T00:15:00.001+08:00

woohoo everyone! first post for 2010 (: it's finally a brand new 12 months! time to refresh ourselves for this awesome year :D

may everyone's wishes and hopes be realised! (also includes me doing well for o levels). HAHA.

last but not least, HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D

p.s i sent out some new year smses, but they got jammed in the air. sheesh.

MESSED UP EVERYTHING

2009-12-28T00:27:00.001+08:00

heyho peepo! i came back from penang with HIHS choir just past a week ago. i know you must be expecting this post to be all about it. frankly speaking, it WAS! i just deleted the whole "day one" chunk. sheesh, wasted my efforts. anyway, i decided that i'm not gonna type a whole pile of words on the penang trip for this entire post. it'll be nice and easy :D

penang trip was kinda fun. my roomie claris is a really interesting person. we always went over to chat with our neighbours, shervin and tingying. HAHA. lotsa secrets. shhh. and i remember the suakuness that claris and i expressed on the silkair flight. apparently, claris's suakuness was just pretend :/ nonetheless, it did manage to kill time in the plane, though the ride was like just 1 hour long :P "OH! THE PLANE IS MOVING!" HAHA! we also ate all sorts of food there; japanese, indian, western, malay, seafood. oh wow, it was really awesome :D masterclass was cool too! the teacher, mr william, is a super cool guy. though he's old (i think), he was able to click with us quite well! and he talked about some SATB dish on a plate thing (: shopping was nice (the first time you're hearing me say this!) it's true. i seem to have found a new thing for shopping. it all started when i bought a "you wanna PISA me" shirt on impulse. LOL! i can't believe i'm saying this, but i enjoyed the shopping! time flew as we ran from one end to the other in queensbay mall.

christmas week has finally ended. phew! it's been pretty hectic for the past 5 days. on tuesday, i went out with annabel, zhongming and zhiqi to 313, citylink, suntec and plaza sing. wow! we were on a mission to scout for christmas gifts for the gift exchange during the xmas party at claudia's house the next day. chocolate fondue at suntec was really nice.. and also kinda sweet o.o i enjoyed it, anyway. we were actually wasting time at 313 (ate din tai fung and explored hmv), citylink (to find roxy) and suntec (fondue). in the end, we bought our pressies from plaza sing. i got a cookie monster puppet! :D

wednesday was the day for xmas party! i got lost when i was on the way to claudia's. turns out, i dropped off at the right stop but walked in the wrong direction when i was in the estate. to give you an idea, here's my phone convo with noel/claudia:
sam: hello? what's your house number?
noel: *shouts at claudia* she says 57.
*sam looks around and notices that all the numbers are 90+ and increasing*

in the end, i managed to find clara and claudia who were at the playground with some of the guys. turns out they went there just seconds after i turned into the wrong road. noel got me a clam CHOWDER -.- he said something about me liking it as long as CHOWDER is there. sheesh. had a rousing game of pictionary with some of them. it was super funny! and clara said i'm a good guesser :D yay. barbeque was pretty good. i must say, our class guys are quite good at this. "this" refers to barbeque, not generally cooking. i pity those girls who're their future wives, whose gonna eat barbeque very often! cos i definitely don't want large chunks of carcinogen clogging up my system.

I.GOT.DRUNK. well, slightly. couldn't stop smiling (:

xmas drama in church was simply awesome! funny moments were really really funny :D and seriously, it's a love story. how romantic. i won't mind if something like that happened to me too! ;D ivan got saved on christmas day! woohoo~

lately, i've been feeling like some extra on the sidelines. i missed out on all the fun while i was away.

i'm... sad.

SUNBURNED

2009-12-08T21:21:00.000+08:00

hey! sorry about not posting for the past couple of weeks. kinda lazy you know. ok anyway, today i went for a singout choirs gathering at sentosa. quite many people went. hung around with tingyimg and played in the water and all that. my sis sorta reached sentosa earlier than i did, and by the time i reached there, she was completely soaked already! i asked her, "eh you never bring extra clothes right?" and she just said, "aiya whatever la. just come in and play!"

went to play captain's ball for a bit. one lesson i learnt is that playing captain's ball on the beach is so not fun cos the ball can't bounce D: after that, went with tingying to soak our feet in the sea. felt cooling, really good. a while later, the rest came along and they started splashing water and soaking people into the sea. so in the end, i got really wet, and i didn't bring clothes to change. another lesson i learnt is to always bring bathing necessities when i go to sentosa. tingying said she wanted to try out the flying fox, but it was like 29 bucks for 1 ride o.o

after an endless cycle of soaking in the sea, walking along the beach and tanning, it was finally time to pack up. everyone who brought clothes went to the toilet to shower. i stayed at the shelter to wait for fion and taiyang to come back from 7 eleven, then the 3 of us tanned some more. i wore my slippers, so now my feet have my slipper shape again! and my face feels kinda hot (not cos i'm blushing from beach hunks). that reminds me, there weren't any beach hunks today D: aww.

had a really late lunch at the vivo kopitiam, then went to the rooftop water park thingy to just chill out ( and sweep sand out of my butt -.-). headed for home with tingying, aloysius, ivy and salanne.

oh ya, my sis said something stupid today. here's our phone conversation:
sis: eh just now i called mummy and told her i staying at sentosa till 8.
sam: oh.
sis: remember the sentosa card? don't tell mummy that the card is a 1-time thing hor.
sam: ya la *thinking "you also don't tell mummy i got myself soaked and have no spare clothes hor!"*
sis: really ah, don't forget leh.
sam: yeah, bye.
sis: bye.

when i reached home, i was so dry that no one could even tell i soaked myself! thank God for thin cotton shirts! and my pants were so dark a blue that no one could tell it was wet! HAHA. (pants take a longer time to dry.) and actually, no one knew my sis was staying till 8, so when i came home myelf, they asked where she was and i said, "she said she want to stay there longer." see? i didn't even have to mention paying entrance fee la ._. i rock.

7 days to penang! :D claris is my roomie. let's hope it doesn't get too awkward, since i don't know her that well.

LAZINESS

2009-11-28T00:29:00.001+08:00

it's me again. the past few days have been pretty good, mostly because i've had some awesome time assassins :D HAHA. ok not really, but i still managed to past time quickly!

you know, i think i might be suffering from mild insomnia. have been sleeping super late in the night/early in the next day, like between 1 to 4 am. last night, i slept at 5am and i heard my grandma's alarm clock ringing already. like ""oh man, she's about to wake up and i haven't even slept yet!" yep, and see now, i'm blogging at such a strange hour. hmm. maybe later i'll go play the psp :D

earlier on, a "fight" sorta broke out between me and my sis.
at 8.45pm,
mum: eh faster go and bathe! i want to turn on the (washing machine).
sam: huh, but later at 9 got The Four! and i take more than 15 min to bathe.
mei: let me bathe first la, since dajie always so slow!
mama: no, you this afternoon already showered, let dajie go bathe. you're not even sweaty.
mei: *super cranky and black-faced* EHHHH!!!! I'M FEELING VERY WARM LO!
*sam rushes into the bathroom and tries to close the door while mei tries to open the door. sam wins.*

so, there, my sis got even more pissed and sent me some sms that i don't think should be typed here. whatever, i took only 20 minutes in the toilet man. then she screamed at me to hurry up. i tell you, her scream was just like those of hardcore metal rock bands :/ scary.

today i watched A Christmas Carol in 3D with my sis and cousin. it was kinda nice, except that most parts were serious rather than funny. and the flying bits made me really dizzy. all along, i thought this show was acted out by humans, till i watched it. mr scrooge did look like jim carrey though. HAHA.

next movie: Avatar.

phil collins songs are very inspirational. i'm referring to the ones he sang for Brother Bear. the show's good, but the music makes it better.

i really really feel like pooping on you, then making you walk under a million trees so all the pigeons and whatnots will poop on you some more. after that, i'll stuff a giant piping hot bowl of laksa in your undies.

PROM DAY/NIGHT

2009-11-24T12:39:00.000+08:00

today i'm blogging from my dad's/mine laptop. technically, it's mine already cos he's got his company laptop :D not to mention the time i told him over the webcam that this laptop is sucky, and he definitely won't mind giving me something THAT lousy. HAHA. anyway, this laptop doesn't even have a cd player ._. what's up with that? i can't listen to my new kris allen and boys like girls album D: i have to use the oh so bulky radio.

today's prom night. wait...

tonight's prom night. saying "today's prom night" is strange. then i would have to say "today's prom day", which is even stranger cos i don't think anyone has a prom in the day. it'll ruin the glam and romantic (?) atmosphere -.- remember the 7 bruises i got during cycling? now they're kinda visible cos i sorta rubbed them. sheesh. and the cut i got while clearing my books is now smeared with insoluble fibrin threads that are peeling. my dress can't cover that. i wonder what prom will be like. hopefully the dinner's a buffet rather than thoses served by fancy waiters, then i can eat as much as i want :D gonna snap photos with everyone too, just for memory's sake (: today's singout too! if either prom or singout were during different days, then i can go for both.

gahh, just now the wireless connection got cut off. see, that's why this laptop is sucky.

boys like girls is awesome :D

CLASS BARBIE

2009-11-18T18:45:00.000+08:00

yesterday, we had some awesome class barbeque at masai's house. went cycling at east coast park too. you'll never believe me when i say that i got a slight sunburn on my face and arms, and my feet also carry the shape of my slippers! :D thank God for the weather, man! otherwise it would've been some dull and wet day.

other than the slight sunburn, i also got 7 new bruises all over my legs -.- at one point when we were cycling, i was right in front. then i realised that there was no one around me, so i looked back. who knew, i actually lost my balance and my butt slipped off the seat and onto the back wheel, while i was still holding onto the handlebars. damn my shortness that disabled me to plant my feet firmly on the ground D:< my bike toppled and the basket dropped off, but lucky i didn't topple with the bike. *phew* so yep, i got bruises on my legs, just in time for prom too ._.

you know what? i also feel lucky that i'm single, because only singles have the right to say "omgosh, those guys are hunky!" HAHA. after cycling, annabel and i went to sit at some table with clara and claudia, and we saw this group of guys (more than 10 of them) who were jogging. clara and i somewhat ogled at them, and maybe claudia was too. then clara told claudia off for ogling, cos she's got no right to ogle at other guys. HAHA. the funniest bit was when we were walking back to masai's house, and i just randomly said "aww man, i won't see those hunks again." roughly 5 seconds after that, they started jogging back! this time, clara kept talking to claudia so claudia won't have the chance to ogle. well, clara lost her chance to ogle too. not for me though :D

in the evening, walked around the condo, saw some class guys swim (not hunky like the joggers) and watched jingyi play taiti with other guys. she kept telling me that her cards were so lousy, and i kept reminding her that i don't know how to play XD i also had this crazy idea about the pool, but darn, forgot to put the plan into action. so anyway, had barbeque, laughed a lot, rained for a bit, my gang sang me a birthday song (felt embarrassed). mr chang, mrs chang, baby chang and mr koh came too! baby chang doesn't like huibing. HAHA! why didn't mr koh come with mrs koh and baby koh? D: at 9pm i went off, and that marked the end of the class barbeque and also the last time i'm gonna see some of them. aww. anyway, i'm sure they'll plan something fun again :D

going science centre with my gang tomorrow! the clothing theme is to wear something checkered. i'm sure we'll have a blast there :D

BACK BACK BACK

2009-11-16T20:11:00.000+08:00

hey peepo! sam is officially off school and exams for NOW! yep, and since the big Os is over (unbelievable!), it's time to get into serious business with this whole blogging thing :D

first up, prom's coming next tuesday. me is going out with huibing and wantian this friday to scout for clothes at orchard. usually, i'm not all that hyped about shopping, what's more, this is gonna be some really hardcore shopping. nonetheless, it IS for prom and maybe to make up for my severely famished wardrobe, not to mention a day out with huibing and wantian (:D)! i'll make the exception this time.

right now, i'm clearing up my books to make room for new ones (i guess so) and you know, just to make my room look neat again ;D fyi, that mr messy colour-me-in is still stuck on the room door. finally, i can see parts of the room which i haven't seen for the longest time! and my room's now less of a dust-collecting contraption than it was before. so, hooray for that :D

birthday coming up in 3 days! yeah man, i'm all geared up for this (: at last, i won't have to sneak into cinemas or worry about buying ticks when it comes to nc16 shows (not that i always do this, but it's something i might do). anyway, gonna have fun with my gang of friends this thursday. we're gonna spend the day in a foreign state, jurong :D HAHA.

suddenly i have this feeling of nausea. sheesh. hope i'm well enough to go for the class barbeque tomorrow :/

ONE MONTH

2009-09-05T14:26:00.001+08:00

whoa, finally, it's not 2 months before O levels now! man that's bitterweet o.o ok nevermind.

we just got our report books back. L1R4 was 12, L1R5 was 19.kinda sucky, and mum said that maybe i shouldn't have taken music or triple science. anyway it's too late to drop subjects already. gonna prove her wrong with my O level results, that's why this is probably the last time i'll blog till november. though i must admit, i should have quit music at the beginning of the year. oh well, it's all too late now D: dad's at a fishing trip at bintan. wonder what his reaction will be like when he sees my results tomorrow. hopefully he won't scold me, but he'll probably cancel my computer privileges and ask me to stop going to church for the time being (he knows he can't do that!).

september holidays are coming up mext week, but still gotta go to school for 3 out of the 5 normal school days. oh sheesh. i want O levels to hurry up and go away! D: but actually, i'm not that prepared yet, so i think O levels should just take its time. oh sheesh. definitely going to poly. now i'm deciding between NP and SP. i favour NP better, but still can't make up my mind. maybe i should just wait for results to come out before deciding again. i'm defo taking a course with bio in it.

realised something? my entire post didn't have a :D in it.
hey wait, now there's one.
:D
there's another one. makes it 2 :D
now there's 3 :D
and 4 :D
and 5 :D
and 6...
i should stop now.
:D

TEACHER'S DAY :D

2009-08-31T20:12:00.000+08:00

had teacher's day celebration in school today. i think it was kinda cool, especially since it's the last year we're seeing our teachers D: man, that's bittersweet.

ok, let's start from yesterday. went to claudia's house at 11 plus to make cookies. it was really fun, cuz we used our hands to mix up the choc chips bit (we washed our hands, don't worry -.-). wantian went totally crazy over the whole cookie dough, cuz she rolled the whole thing into a giant ball and went around showing everyone her masterpiece :D haha funny wantian. made about 4 to 5 batches of cookies, equivalent to 100 plus cookies. i was the most "commited" one, cuz i stayed from batch 1 till almost the one. let me tell you, rolling dough into walnut-sized things before flattening them is really no joke, but squishing dough sure is fun, especially the part where you get to lick the stuff off your fingers after that :D max gave me that gleamy eyed look as he saw my choc-covered hands. he's funny (: he followed me around the house, but at least he's civilised enough to not follow me into the toilet XD left claudia's house at 3.30pm, along with annabel and huibing.

met noel at 4.45pm to get the surprise cake from him. he told me to be there at 4.30pm SHARP, but when i smsed him after i reached, he told me the cake's not ready yet. i was like o.o the cake was heavy and i had to call my sister down to help me carry it. it couldn't fit in my fridge, and my mum was all frustrated and annoyed. but lucky for me, she managed to get one of my grandma's friends in the same condo to tongpang the cake. phew~

reached school at 6.30am this morning to deposit the cake with the drink stall people. i tell you, they can be pretty mean if you're asking for a favour rather than patronising in their services D: so much for always buying drinks and snacks from them! DX had the skipping challenge thingy after assembly. there was one point where we saw this teacher whom we thought was a judge, and we jumped 24x20 times! only AFTER we jumped, he said he's not a judge, and we were o.o!! when the REAL judge came, we only managed 16x20 times D: gahh. pretty frustrating, but at least we got 3rd place in the whole school (:

after skipping, we had the surprise. waited like half an hour before both teachers were ready. didn't really feel like a surprise anymore. popped party poppers when they came in. it's been a super long time since i held a party popper :D so, yeah. sang "happy teacher's day" to the tune of "happy birthday", then cut cake and took class photos. i smiled till my facial muscles almost cramped up and stayed that shape. no kidding man. managed to finish the whole cake in less than half an hour. it was good.

went to hall for teacher's day concert. the first few performances were good, especially that band from 1 charity. the 1 charity performances weren't as comical as what my sister described it to be though D: it got a little strange after that. i've got nothing to comment about the other performances o.o congrats to mr chang for winning the lamest teacher award, and mrs nathan for winning the most homework teacher! :D our class can provide a testimony for mr chang's lameness and mrs nathan's homeworkiness (:

had the last music coursework session after school, when most of the students have already gone home D: well at least we're officially done with it! :D

1st september tomorrow, which means one more month before O levels! getting increasingly excited by the day :D

JUST A LITTLE POP

2009-08-24T22:28:00.003+08:00

back for a bit, everyone :D i'll just be sprinkling posts every once in a while. just wait for stinky O levels to be over in less than 100 days (oh why are these last 2 months moving at such an excrutiatingly slow speed? D:) ok anyway, i have some free time for now because prelims (horrid) just ended, so the teachers will be going through papers these few days instead of vomiting homework at us.

teacher's day coming soon, so i just hope they sorta lay back on the workload. after all, we're such GOOD STUDENTS! :DD haha.

doreen's going to harbin next week, and she's sick now. God bless her soul (: going to send her off at the airport :D can't wait! (to go out with church friends, not send her outta town :O) LOL.

my piano exam results will be coming in maybe 2 weeks. hope i pass (won't mind even if it was a 100 marks) because i like to collect my exam certs. have the music ones from JMC to grade 6, not a single one short. teacher said that if i fail, i'll have to brush up on my skills before they can upgrade me, no need for exam as she said i'll have to learn the new syllabus songs which will kinda be a waste of time. i know it's time-consuming to learn the whole grade again, but that'll mean that i'll be short of 1 cert! D: kinda wasted if i look back at how many i've collected, and suddenly there's a gap there -.-

i'm retaking my chinese at the end of the year. actually i was planning to totally forget it and recycle the chinese stuff, but then i got a sucky b3. had this dream a few days before results that i'll get a b3, and true enough... someone must be trying to tell me something. so anyway, i'm stuck with cheng lao shi and 8 other 4 hum students for the next 2 months.

i wanna go out with my peeps someday, to catch a movie or something. haven't gone out with them since we celebrated jingyi's birthday at pasir ris! about 2 months now. and i haven't gone out with huibing at all yet! after Os, there'll be so much catching up to do with all my friends scattered around this teeny island.
to tingying: yes i haven't gone out with you for a long time too! D:

this morning i heard on radio that experts claim that wednesday is actually the most horrible day of the week. they comapared 2.4 million blogs (maybe mine's one of them?) and looked at certain descriptive words people used for each day. words like "exciting", "awesome" etc were given high scores while words like "unlucky", "depressing" etc were given low scores. of course, we all know that weekends will come out tops :D but betcha didn't know that MONDAY came out to have the next HIGHEST score! WEDNESDAY had the lowest score. just when i was about to hear the reason for this, i had to drop off at school already -.- what luck! to me, i think how sucky a day is depends on what events there are on that day.

addicted to "love drunk" by boys like girls and "candles" by hey monday :D nice songs, though i often forget the tune o.o

well got to go now. need to prepare for school tomorrow, oh sheesh.

GONE WITH THE WIND

2009-07-15T18:52:00.000+08:00

heyho people! recently kinda busy with school stuff like massive homework, afternoon lessons etc. *sigh* it's really no joke to be a sec four. would really love to update on recent happenings, but i seriously ain't got the time. these days, even sleeping at 12mn would be an honour. so right now, i'll just list a few things that are happening/ have happened. if you think it's not relevant to you, it's ok, because it's meant more for me so i can remember about my youth days when i've reached the old stage. dementia, is so not good D:

chinese oral was a breeze, but let's see how results come out :D

i'm starting to hate music (lessons, not music-music), cuz of all the extra load it's added to my homework.

getting specs soon! only 25 degrees, but i got 75 degrees of astigmatism for both eyes. still, it's good.

i just looked back at the sec 2 photos ian uploaded onto facebook. man, i look super fat now as compared to then! D:< damn it, this seriously sucks. maybe i should do something about it.

i need someone to watch 20th century boys 2 with. calling for CLAUDIA ANG! where are you?!

school's been super kiasu about the h1n1 thing. although i must admit, i love the recess now, since we get our own table :D

i brought my sis to church last week! and she accepted Christ :D hees. i'm so good :D

today, my brother was doing his chinese homework, where he had to fill in the blanks. one of the sentences was "the mother is carrying the baby" (ma ma bao bao bao.) then, he said "ma ma... bao bao bao~ *(to the tune of can-can)". i was sorta pooping at that time, but i could hear him XD

water crystals are cool :D

ok so here's pretty much what happened so far. i know it's not alot. but if i were to list down every single excruciating detail, i think i'll flip and won't be able to finish my homework. yes, sec 4 education does suck.

yeah, i'll "see" you people soon. won't be blogging much till AFTER o levels, so don't bother tagging my blog till you see me actively blogging again.

ciao, friends~

HEYHO!

2009-06-20T15:47:00.001+08:00

it's been only 3 hours since i woke up today.

back after a long 11 days of abstaining from the com. no actually the com was kinda spoilt, so my dad took it for repair. when i say "kinda", i mean "SUPER". this com couldn't even get to the desktop part. it just kept configuring updates, shutting down and restarting again. once, my dad's friend came over to try and repair it, and her said he couldn't and told my dad to just let it run. in the end, the com went through that cycle of shutting down and restarting for about 20 times over 3 hours. it was just crazy. well, 1 good thing came out from the 11 days of no com: i don't feel so addicted to it now. in fact, i think it's getting quite boring. anyway, now the com's back with a totally new system. it feels weird. the entire thing got resetted, meaning no more pictures in the com, no messenger (i just installed it back), the @ and " are now back at their normal positions and the screen resolution can't be set to the highest, so it's kinda blurry. it's just too strange. but i'm glad this thing's back. so long, macbook.

yesterday i went to collect my library book that i reserved a long time ago. mum kept pestering me to collect it asap, and there was a long speech about being considerate to others who want that book too. that book's in super high demand. in ALL populars, the book's on the bestseller list. in some populars, the book's out of stock. in ALL libraries (except bukit merah), the book's on loan. wanna know what book? it's the diary of a wimpy kid. really cute book. and really funny :D the scenarios in the book are just plain hilarious! if you wanna borrow it from me, i would have to say that i returned the book already o.o read the entire thing last night. fast eh?

today i was supposed to go to jurong point, but now i'm too lazy to. mum asked me to go to the popular there (if there is even one) to buy the last book of the diary of a wimpy kid series. why so far, you ask? well, yesterday i told her i was feeling kinda bored, so i requested to go around singapore just to pass time. there are extra lessons next week though. poop. i haven't even started my homework, because i'm the chiong kind. i don't feel really panicky at all.

grandma's fine now, by the way. thanks to God's grace :D

3 days ago, we had a picnic at pasir ris park to celebrate jingyi's birthday! huibing wasn't there though. she was feeling under the weather. not much to say about it, just that a lot of pictures came out from the trip, and we cycled around the park like woah! the tiredness from cycling around pasir ris park was NOTHING compared to the tiredness from cycling around ubin. i got 2 very conspicuous blue blacks on my right knee though D: but at least only minimum muscle ache. clara says our next picnic could be at west coast park. i asked my mum where that was, and she said it's near some ferry terminal and all the cargo. weird. wantian suggested that we could set aside one day after Os to go cycling around singapore! i think that'll be fun, but after hearing what my mum said about road safety and the how cars just zoom past you, i think it's kinda scary. maybe i should just stick to my friend, the mrt :D he never lets me down.

MOE could be dragging the june holidays for another one week or so. hope it comes true.
A-G-L-E-T-S!

SUDDEN

2009-06-09T23:33:00.000+08:00

ah ma's in the hospital with heart palputations (super fast heart rate). get well soon! it'll be alright.

dad says only 8 people can visit her. not 8 at one time, but ONLY 8. this is due to the swine flu thing.

hope she gets well. i don't want to lose another grandparent *touch wood.*

EXTRAS:
lost in ubin was super fun :D tiring though. oh what painful shoulders! anyway, let's do it again ;D

JUNE BLOOM

2009-06-05T18:21:00.000+08:00

heyho folks! 1 week of june holidays are almost up! what did i do during this 1 week? i... *drumroll*... went to school, every single day like normal school days. and we had normal school lessons. well at least we end earlier. still, i hate waking up early D: gotta catch up on my sleep you know.

just finished O level chinese on monday, 1 june. it was pretty ok, much easier than i actually expected o.o which of course, is good. now i'm just hooping i won't have to retake again at the end of the year. oh pleaseplease.

congrats to ms zahila for getting married! too bad she didn't invite us to her wedding, but i bet it'll be cute. should we gatecrash it? "oh so coincidental?!" oh well. i've never been to a traditional malay wedding before. hopefully i'll get the chance one day.

when school reopens, i'm gonna:
have shorter hair
wear glasses
have straighter teeth
get a darker skin tone
:D

well time to get back to work! mum wants to see her stollen video. stollen's some german bread if you don't know. it's great :D

for the rest of the holidays, i'm gonna make full use of it by studying and playing... at the same time! hope it works! hees.

blown away by the breeze, till next time when i see you again. goodbye.

LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL

2009-05-26T22:12:00.003+08:00

heyhey! tis the last week of school before we break for the june holidays! happy am i? NO! why? because every day is one day closer to the O level chinese exam on 1 june D: i love my exam index number though. so easy to remember :D it ends with a 123. hees :D yay. i am so glad our school doesn't adopt that "whole day chinese" curriculum. i swear, i'll drop dead with cheng lao shi talking nonstop for 5+ hours o.o

sports day this friday! what a great way to spend the last day of term 2. at least we get to fling our books to jiu xiao yun wai, for once (did i use it right?). took part in captain's ball. team name's yellow monkeys! yay we rock :D had heats today. we played 3 matches - win 1, lose 1, draw 1. pretty evenly spread eh? at least we won 1. went home after that and played badminton with mum, sis and bro. right now, my right arm is aching. at least i managed to get some REAL exercise, other than PE lessons. it feels good.

there's this strange phenomenon about boys over flowers. i don't see why so many people actually like that show o.o when i mean "like", i mean "absolutely nuts"! ok so the guys in the show are kinda cute, the girl's cute too, and the uniform's cute. but so? i HATE that show. i think i'm weird, because...
1) i love korean period dramas (the one with the war stuff and those legend thingys).
2) i would rather wear a giant t-shirt with the words "i suck" on it, than wear a blouse that says "i rock".
3) jeans to skirts, any day :D
4) i have absolutely NO dresses.
5) i hate shopping.
6) my chin creates a crease whenever i close my mouth o.o
7) i colour the squares on my graph paper for fun.
8) i'm obsessed over sudoku! now doing #334 in my giant sudoku book.
9) i have glow-in-the-dark halloween t-shirts from the States.
10) i'd rather suck ice than drink water.

someday, i'd like to travel to the other end of singapore on my tricycle.

MONDAY BLUES

2009-05-18T20:26:00.003+08:00

it's stupid monday today. i hate mondays.

BAD SIDE:
they announced during assembly today to see the sec 2s going to croatia, which means that the trip's still on. damn it. i was happy for nothing D:
GOOD SIDE:
i can still be a volunteer if i sign up with doreen! (she's 19, is that considered as adult?)

BAD SIDE:
my temperature, surprisingly, didn't hit the trigger point, meaning i have to stay in school.
GOOD SIDE:
i'm not sick.

BAD SIDE:
another vice principal?! weird.
GOOD SIDE:
at least there's hope that ms soh will change.

BAD SIDE:
cheng lao shi's gonna give us chinese work everyday D:
GOOD SIDE:
my chinese will definitely improve :D

BAD SIDE:
my O level piano pieces aren't ready yet.
GOOD SIDE:
mrs tay let me play something else today.

maybe watching night at the museum 2/star trek this friday? yay :D

SUNDAY MADNESS!

2009-05-17T20:34:00.000+08:00

today was a super crazy sunday! i love it :D

church was awesome. dr kim from korea came over to preach. her piano skills are just fabulous! don't belittle her stubby fingers, they're actually very fluid! also, it was uncle kong's 80th birthday today, so we sang a birthday song! that was very cute :D and he got this giant box of chocs for his birthday! hees. lynette's coming with me mext week, i'm excited! 7 more days :D

went with doreen after that to meet with music friends at city hall. then, ate at BK. we left first, while doreen waited for her friend. went to hmv to look for haydn's London symphony CD. wasn't very difficult, thanks to labels :D however, the price was ex, so we proceeded to esplanade library to find one that we could borrow and burn. ran there as there wasn't much time before the ramen girl started at 3.40pm at tampines mall. a record time of 3 minutes to get from hmv to esplanade library! super tiring, but quite fun :D

couldn't find the CD we wanted, so we RAN back to hmv to buy it. met doreen and her friend on the way. gosh, when we aready did so many things, they were just on their way to the library?! haha. afer buying the CD, we rushed outside to find a cab. thankfully, there was one. cab fare jumped by 20 cents after every 8 seconds. lucky the total cost was less than 15 bucks. split up upon arrival: jasmine and i went to tampines mall, tingying and fion went to century square. tampines mall was super crowded, we had to say "excuse me" so many times just to get up one floor. reached the top floor in a record time of 1 minute! that was very surprising.

bought ticks. called them. they rushed over. went to see show.

ramen girl was not very good. to think we ran the whole day just to see a show about a girl and a bowl of ramen. anyways, that show has just added itself to my movie list, which means that i'll never forget that show.

SATURDAYS

2009-05-16T20:17:00.000+08:00

today was kinda boring o.o watched guiness world records before i left the house. woah those people are amazing! i am shocked.

then met wantian and annabel at hougang hub before walking over to zhongming's house. watched the davinci code there, but i only watched half of it as i had to go off for music lesson. oh and i spilled some hot mushroom soup on my pinky finger. pain D:

saw dorothy at heartland mall's kfc while i was walking home from music lesson. chatted for quite a bit (quite long actually) before i went off. talked about stuff like... :D i think she might think i'm weird for not wanting to go off soon and for not sitting down to talk. oh well, it was good.

had some funky homemade california rolls at grandma's house (yes, that's where i went). mum bought all the ingredients from isetan. deliciously full :D told my mum about the angels and demons, davinci code and some other stuff too. played mahjong after that. i won THREE rounds CONSECUTIVELY! :D too bad there was no money involved, not even the chips.

stuff i learnt today:
4bia = phobia
never attempt to pour liquids at the mahjong table.
wantian's really accurate in her guessing!

I'M BACK!

2009-05-15T19:28:00.001+08:00

phew finally the semestral exams are O-V-E-R over! today i'm totally catching up on cyber time. facebook's got quite new stuff, especially pet society o.o haha.

let's see,
went to watch angels and demons with some of our class guys and some 2 charity guys and my usual group of buds. we went to plaza singapura at 2 plus, then bought ticks and waited... waited... waited before going into the cinema. claudia and i enjoyed watching the trailers on that giant screen, so much so that we didn't know when the whole group had left (or rather, they didn't tell us -.-). i also commented on how the actors would have done the photo shoots for the posters, like how tom hanks had to give this focused and constipated look, or how some other actress had to pose as if she was trying to swallow a giant burger. yep, those were hilarious :D

the show was AWESOME. plot's good, story's good, actors' good. yepyep. i jumped at one part, which made annabel laugh. claudia kept covering her mouth and wantian was guessing the who story. i think i saw a whole line of boring faces after wantian's seat. don't the guys ever have any expression for anything? weird peepo. i was shivering in there! ate dinner after the show, then went home.

tomorrow, going to zhongming's house for some birthday party :D hees.

HEES.

2009-05-04T19:15:00.001+08:00

life is starting to get super totally gigantically awesome :D i'm not bothered by the fact that O levels are in exactly 25 weeks. don't know why, but i find everything so amusing XD what's up with that? like how annabel made names for all of us: sammy, belly, clarry, tianny, jenny, freezy and juleeny. hees. oh well, there goes the bumpkin, bimbo, geisha, mu lao hu, maid etc. guess who i am :P

i never realised how much of a mahjong freak i am, until last friday (may day!). went to granparents' house for dinner, but went earlier than dinner time to do stuff. i planned to do my homework there, but then i took a 3 hour nap in a very unglam position. so glad no one toook a picture of me :D after dinner, played 5 rounds of mj. i kept laughing my ass off like some crazy nut that just escaped from a mental hospital. and i kept saying "NO NO! YOU WON'T WIN LAH!" i think the neighbours were on the verge of complaining already. it's official:

MAHJONG MAKES ME DRUNK.

grandma also told us about something that made me laugh/cry. the following is a conversation between my grandpa and his friend, sunny (seriously, that's his name).
sunny: hey now got swine flu right! we should buy masks.
pa: huh you want buy mask ah?
sunny: ya lah! very simple. we just buy a woman bra, cut it in half, and it becomes 2 masks for both of us!
pa: o.o

what's your response? wantian said that bra could really be effective! this COULD be some way of reusing stuff rather than throwing them away. haha. i was thinking that if they wanted designer masks, they could just buy lingerie from Triumph or something.

my calculator has been staying at SOMEONE's house for the 3rd day now. i'm upset because SOMEONE forgot to bring it to school today! spot has never been in any sleepover before. you're an elephant with amnesia. forgetfuls will always be forgetfuls.

i am sam, and you are reading this WORD.

ENTHALPY H

2009-04-30T19:13:00.000+08:00

back after 11 days of busy-ness! :D

25/4/2009:
went to St Luke's Hospital for CIP. the place was really far off in Bukit Batok, so it look around a half hour ride to get there. huibing and i were stoning in the bus. i must say, when she's feeling lethargic, she's REALLY lethargic. i saw this sun/moon thing in the sky. it was the same thing i saw in korea. it's too bright to be a moon, and too visible to be the sun, so what it is? i, till now, have absolutely no idea.

reached St Luke's at around 9.30am. got some instructions from the volunteers there on what to do. that place was kinda scary at first, because it was quite dead, and some of the old people are really just wrinkly, pigmented skin and bones. at first, we all thought that cheng yao was really not a good idea, but after a while, we realised that some of the old folks really liked it! :D they're a cute bunch of old people. hees. jingyi and i talked to this malay lady, who then cried after our performance! please don't cry! D: then wantian was shouting at this other old lady, not in a bad way, but cuz the old lady couldn't hear well. that was funny too.

left the place at 11.15am, when we were just starting to have fun entertaining the old people D: poo. coach sent us back to school, and we made our way to woodlands for the workshop. i don't see why the coach couldn't just send us there straight.

p.s on 161, this man who sat beside me just plomped down as if the seat was his sofa, making my side of the seat bounce up. huibing laughed o.o

[CIP photos on facebook :D]

28/4/2009:
chinese paper 1, 2 and 3. what a lot to handle! phew at least we got over the chinese at one shot! paper 2 was kinda tough, so was the listening compre. and it doesn't help when you're sitting at the back of the class D: paper 1 was fine, just hope that i got my format right. cheng lao shi didn't scold me today, so maybe i DID get it right! yay.

29/4/2009:
did some genetic family tree thing with mrs ganesan. it was totally fun. i'm in the same branch as claudia and huibing! but we all got different blood groups though. i'm O, claudia's AB while huibing's A. sheesh. jasmine showed me her swollen bug bite (apparently). it was really horrible. looked like a rotten sunny-side-up. and she cut it out after music lesson! she said it's painful and the pus looks gross.

TODAY:
woohoo! today's the lat day of april! i thought this day would never come. don't you feel that it's been april for a long time? well i do. today's a rather OK day. cheng lao shi made us do the other letter writing topic D:< maths lesson was fun :D mrs nathan seems to be our friend, rather than our teacher, and it was more like a laughing session rather than a maths lesson. the other lessons were boring as usual. we found out today that ms zahila's engaged! congratulations to ms zahila! XD jasmine's wound was oozing blood today.

i think i should really try to update regularly, otherwise i'll have to keep backtracking, which makes my post super long.

the swine flu thing is really getting serious D: now it's a global pandemic. is it still safe for that croatia trip? hoho, good game.

SYF BLUES

2009-04-19T22:02:00.000+08:00

i'm back. this post will only be about 17 april, also known as SYF day.

reached school at 7 plus, reported straight to music room. after doing all the usual hoohahhs and changing to my gown (had to swap with justina as i've outworn mine) and makeup, ms yee came in and we did warmups and some last minute practise. practice was great. boarded the bus and headed down to VCH. luckily the 10 am recess had just ended, so all my classmates won't have to see me. we were totally silent in the bus, just thinking of the songs and mentally preparing ourselves.

reached VCH at about 11.30am plus? no one had watches so i actually seriously lost track of time for quite a while. did more warmups at some open space outside VCH. boy was it hot! there were many tourists and people with cams taking photos of us. i guess this is a good practice for your concentration - whether you shift your eyes about or just totally look at ms yee.

after toilet break, we went to some holding room to practise some more. they only gave us some crazy 10 minutes to practise. i must admit, we sounded pretty good. back there, i was confident that we really could achieve our G word. ms yee told us to think of minhan as a horse/spouting merlion for the set piece, so that we could have the right expression and all. that bit was cool :D

then it was time for us to wait outside the hall. we heard 2 choirs before us. their versions of White Horses were totally different from us. one was super fast, the other was a tad slower. i felt really nervous at that time. we did the chain massage thing to relax. hugged salanne, esther, shervin and clarissa before going upstage. we proceeded with our performance. White Horses wasn't that bad, so was O Lux. but for Diu Diu Dang, our best song, it was totally screwed, especially the behind bit. we sorta went up key till all the sopranos were almost shrieking. i felt the ending was quite rush too. maybe it's cuz we wanted to end quick and get it over with.

after the performance, we were quite satisfied. but then ms yee said, "i got nothing to say. all i can say is that that wasn't your best." that comment was reall quite a big blow to all of us. she also mentioned that it would really be God's grace for us to achieve G. some of us cried, i didn't cuz i wanted to save the tears for the results, though there were moments when i felt submissive towards my emotions.

lingered around during lunch time and sat in during PHS's performance. i actually fell asleep and junkiat and rachel had to wake me up. my eyes felt super heavy that time. reached back to school at around 3. changed and removed bun and makeup. felt pleased to be in my usual self again :D stayed in the canteen with annabel, claudia and YA (left early) till the results came out. the 3 of them were making up for chinese tests, while i was walking to and fro the drink stall to buy snacks and ice cream. i went bankrupt after that.

results came out at 6.30pm. sylvia called out to me and said, "we got silver!" i was like, "huh?" thought she was kidding. then gabriel came and confirmed it, and i saw jan, adele, justina and isabel crying at some other table. it was then that i knew but i was in self denial (the kind where people won't face the facts that their loved one has passed on). called tingying but she didn't pick up. tears came out unknowingly. after a while, thingying called me and we were both crying over the phone. cried for around half an hour. hugged the other choir members in school, and we all cried together. later found out that all the coir members, regardless of where they were, were all crying. called salanne, and she told me the whole gang was at rachel's house, and all of them were crying.

i felt disappointed and felt that we let ms yee and the senoirs down. i can't really desribe how sad i felt. cried again that night and yesterday night.

not looking forward to them announcing to the school that we got a stinking silver. maybe i'll cry again. my eyes have been puffy as grapes these few days, but i have to learn to get over it myself, even though i have been comforting others too.

CROWDED TRAINS AND SWISHING HAIR

2009-04-12T22:22:00.001+08:00

hello yellow fellows! i know my blog's on the verge of extinction now, but whocares, i'm back :D

i've been studying since the 200th day before Os, so maybe i won't be blogging (or even touching the com) as much D: the teachers have serious miscommunication. they all think that the other teachers won't give homework, so in the end WE get a lot of it. so unfair, then they scold us for not handing in their homework when they're unaware of the tragic amount of homework we really got! and why is it that the big P don't scold teachers for returning our homework on time? sometimes we get our homework 10 days after submitting them. life is unfair. lucky i'm graduating from HI this year and enjoying my big break :D i've already started planning for what i'm gonna do.

i hate crowded trains. i spent the bulk of my day today taking crowded trains around this little island. not that i'm claustrophobic, but i just feel quite insecure standing near strangers, especially middle-aged males who might be suffering from a mid-life crisis. poop :/ and then there's the case where people with long hair swish it in your face when they're trying to squeeze their way through a crowd. sheesh. at least i have good balance, otherwise i'll fall over other people in the train and then have to frame them for alleged molestation, which is so evil.

david A was here last week! XD too bad i missed his mini performance D: oh well, at least there's radio.

SYF in 5 days! me gets to skip lesson that day. jealous much? i'm feeling a concoction of ecstacy and anxiety. our aim is GOLD, but will it happen? it's possible, but if someone trips and falls while walking upstage, THAT'S IT. GONE.

i remember a day last week when it rained like crazy. the parents and brother weren't home, and me and sis were watching some hongkong drama on tv. when it started raining...
sis: eh let's go close the windows.
sam (intrigued by the show): aiya wait a while lah.
sis: ok.
*call from mum, reminding us to close the computer window*
sis: come on!
sam: fine!
*sam and sis get a shock to see rain pouring through every window, wetting everything in its path*

we had to do some major cleanup. the computer table was flooded with water. that includes the CPU, monitor, our mio box thingy, the printer and all its papers. there was so much water that it flowed into my room. my brother's mr noisy colour-in got sabotaged too, and we couldn't save it. my brother's pants and mr bean teddy, and dad's pants and my archie comics in my parents' room got seriously soaked. we had to use all the items that we've got that could absorb fluids to dry them, and that included mum's just-washed towel. when she asked why her towel got so dirty, i told her it fell off the balcony.

my mum says that the way me and my peeps talk is the way the girls talk on S factor. come on! S factor is a show that's non-intellectual and i'm a very intellectual person! darn. why do they have that show on anyway? i have no idea.

197 days to Os! i'm excited :D

APRIL FOOL'S!

yay happy april fool's day! :D i got tricked 2 and a half times today. damn D: told myself this morning to be more vigilant and "red alert", but, whatever :D

1ST TIME!
jingyi/claudia: hey sam you dropped something!
sam: huh? *blur and looks down*
jingyi/claudia laughs their head off XD
darn! my 2 pals!

2ND TIME!
melvin (with a damn serious face): eh samantha, where's your SL badge?
sam: what? *worriedly touches collar and feels for badge*
melvin: HAHAHA! HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!
sam: ._. damnit!
darn! my chemistry lab partner!

HALF TIME!
wantian to sam/bel/clara/claudia: hey look there!
all of us looks somewhere in the sky BUT sam sensed something fishy and turned back after 1 second!
HEEHEE this is why it's not counted as ONE.

got our new ezlinks yesterday. i miss my old one! this new one's weird. background looks funny and they decided to use our P6 photo. i looked so retarded in that one D: we're only gonna use it till 31st dec 2009, then who knows what's gonna come next. sheesh.

mrt fares will be reduced by 1 cent from today :D yay i'm happy.

and suddenly, my surroundings were blur. i felt dizzy and as if i was bearing the burden of the world. butterflies in my stomach, a burning sensation around my abdomen. something BIG's going to happen. at that moment, my family, friends and all the loved ones will run away and desert me, fearing that they may get infected by the outcome. this is really bad.
oh no, it's really coming.
must try to control, but it seems impossible at this stage.
damn.
i'll miss my loved ones.
here it comes!

YES!
.
.

i finally farted.

the little funnies in life :D

SICKENING PIGS

2009-03-27T21:06:00.000+08:00

today was a super sickening day D:

let's start with this morning, shall we?
there was this totally long and draggy talk about financial issues like how to save and spend, and the speaker was somehow teaching us how to calculate compound interest and stuff like that. not that i haven't learnt it yet, but whatever, she bugged me. then while she was telling some story about jim carrey, erika came behind me and told me to do the very traditional friday school creeed. sheesh why must they always target choir people? it's not as if everyone else sings so horribly. so, fion and i waited for her talk to end.

after what seemed like hours (exaggerated), mr tong went up to talk about some trip to EUROPE! fion and i could see from the side that his hand was totally trembling, which is quite amusing as he always comes to talk about sporty stuff and house meetings etc. everyone got vey excited during the talk. me too. it sounded SO appealing because those who go get to go to 3 places (i think), that is, croatia, italy and milan. then he came to the criteria. 1st point: only sec 2s get to go. everyone was like "WTH?!" SO UNFAIR D: to make it worse, those selected get to be ambassadors to volunteer during the ACTUAL youth olympics next year! damn it. our batch didn't get such privileges. when i was sec 2, we went to china. last year's sec 2 went to australia. this year's sec 2 will be going to europe. hmm seems like our school's getting richer. the trip's only 500 bucks deducted from edusave. how unlucky to not be born 2 years later D: some sec 2s rushed to the general office to get the form! haha typical kiasu people, like auntie low :D

on the bright side, mr tong said that ineligible people like me still can sign up to be an ambassador, just that we can't go on the trip. well that's good enough for me! on monday, me, wantian and maybe huibing will ask mr tong about the applications. my mum said that they need 1000+ volunteers. hopefully we're not late. can we sign up online? that's what i'm gonna check out later.

LCE was kinda fun. we used newspapers, straws and masking tape to build a tower. the aim is to build the tallest tower. there were 5 groups and melvin's group won. well i think we did pretty well too, though we somehow ran out of masking tape and were desperate enough to pluck them off the walls, along with some blu tack :D everyone used connected straws to build up the top of the tower, and everyone's tower went "beyond" the ceiling that it had to be bent slightly. wonder how they judged the towers? this has to be the funnest LCE ever.

after LCE, mrs ganesan called us to arrange all the tables so that we were sitting in groups of 7 and the tables had to form some "U" shape thing. i don't feel really comfortable with everything now, but i should be able to adjust within a week :D by the way, mrs ganesan's gonna get shelves for us to leave some books in class! let's hope that the shelves don't break as a result of the tremendous pressure from the large number of books and scraps.

choir today was cool! towards the end, daryl stood up and pretended to make some announcement thing to stall time, then debra said that it was julien's birthday. so ms yee played the FUNERAL version of HAPPY BIRTHDAY. after that, the lights went out and fion brought in a mini cake for ms yee's birthday! LOL. julien's birthday was all a scam (: it was nice seeing so many seniors coming back :D ms liang helped us take a choir picture o.o wasn't as tough as i thought! something catastrophic happened after that - daryl dropped the mini cake on the floor! ms yee made him buy a bigger one by wednesday. YAY I LOVE CHOIR.

my legs are feeling wobbly from 4 rounds during PE D: like jello. also having a major head throb. salanne said that my brain's shrinking from lack of water.

tomorrow, i've got a compre workshop at tampines library. far. gotta rush there straight after music lesson. poo. why did mrs ng make it compulsory?! and we have to wear half-u D:

WHAT A BUMMER.
"chubby" no equals to "fat"!

HOLIDAYS ARE OVER

2009-03-22T21:10:00.001+08:00

yuck, today's the last day of march holidays D: i am sad because i spent most of my holidays in school for choir/lessons etc (check out my previous post). damn it, oh so boring lessons start tomorrow. next break will be after O level chinese in june. sheesh.

on the bright side, i only have to attend biology and maths! leaving for VCH during recess time to do some sound check and rehearsal and will probably come back around 2.30pm. this means that i don't hve to attend chinese lessons tomorrow! yay :D jealous much? LOL.

watched a bit of Sweeny Todd: Demon Barber Of Fleet Street on HBO today. woo HBO's so cool :D that show's kinda gruesome and there's some singing and musical stuff (the movie was based on a musical). johnny depp can sing o.o and he threw his wife into some furnace towards the last bit. Golden Compass will be coming out in april! yay :D

noel the oxymoron can't tell the difference between comic sans and trebuchet, so much so that he accuses me for copying his msn font -.- do they really look so alike? darn. poo you.

yesterday i experience REAL fine dining for the first time. was my dad's birthday, so we went to some fancy chinese restaurant. 1st appetizer: one tiny abalone and a mess of onions and other veg and what seemed to taste like kfc's chilli. 2nd appetizer: one drunken prawn in a tonic wine kinda soup in a cup. the way we ate the subsequent dishes didn't have that sort of fine dining mannerism. haha :D my mum even dabao-ed some food back! why? because every untouched dish would cost 15 bucks o.o and why my dad ordered so much? i don't know. there, the typical kiasu singaporean traits still show even if you want to hide it :D

saw edwin goh on tv o.o LOL. no i'm not slow, actually saw him last month already, but wasn't sure whether it really was him. so now i do.

i am on a chocolate high! :D the milk chocolate with caramel/peanut butter filling bought by my parents' friend is so nice! it's not cheap.

stupid fly on monitor screen D: go away.

BBQ!

2009-03-20T13:19:00.001+08:00

yay hello :D yesterday was a really cool day. i am happy.

woke up at 6am to do bun. grandma and mum helped out. started at 6.15 and ended at 7am. crazy right? haha :D headed down to PHS and met adele, jan, minhan, darren ke, esther and rachel at the nearby kopitiam. reached PHS at around 8.40am, did warmups and ran through the 3 SYF songs in one of their classrooms, which is on the first floor. it's strange, because all the classrooms in HI are on 2nd floor and beyond! after running through everything, it was time to get ready to go to the hall for the exchange. the girls only at 5 mins to bun their hair. lucky i already did mine at home :D

there were 4 other schools in the hall. the composer for our Diu Diu Dang song was there too. every school sang nice songs :D we got compliments for our songs too. then there was a break, clarissa and i went to the toilet during break time. we ran up to the hall barefooted after that. sang White Horses school by school, the SAB version didn't sound very different from the SATB version, but oh well :/ oh yeah, i saw someone who looked like kezia who was behind the hall, getting ready for gymastics. at first i thought my eyes had problems, but after dismissal, she came up to me and said "hey whatsup?" like LOL. she still remembers me! cool.

met up with claudia, annabel and wantian at sengkang mrt. headed on to rivervale mall to buy the stuff for our barbeque at jingyi's place. woah like her place is super huge, somewhat like a mini castle. her sister is friendly too. took quite some time to start the fire. placed the potatoes wrapped in aluminium foil with the charcoal too. everyone had fun cooking and eating. huibing. claudia and clara were in the kitchen frying the cheese tofu, while annabel and i were doing the barbeque pit. wantian was the only one running from place to place. jingyi came home a little later after her tuition. she helped make the honey chicken in the kitchen. (chicken and kitchen LOL) ate to our hearts content :D the potatoes were sorta charred beyond recognition though, some had a strong chao da smell while others didn't. anyway, we don't like wasting food.

chilled and watched tv in the house after the barbeque. had some sprite cocktail thing too :D after that, did our traditional 7ahs sparkling juice thing. was really funny when annabel took a video of us yamsenging and doing the AH like the coke advertisement. drank from the bottle instead of cups. dad came to pick me up at 10.50. he is happy that i know how to barbeque now :D

i may look plump, but illusions are always illusions. get that straight in your head man!

SO NOT A HOLIDAY

2009-03-17T19:17:00.000+08:00

hello, everyone. currently, it's ~~not~~ a nice march holiday.

first of all, i've gotta go back to school everyday for various reasons like choir SYF practice or lessons or whatever.

yesterday, we went back to school for chemistry lessons, which turned out quite wasted. ms zahila was sick so we started lesson at 8.15am, and all she did was go through our SPA trial paper. so we ended lesson at 8.45am o.o too bad for noel, he came at 8.30am, wasted trip. after lesson, went with huibing, wantian, annabel and clara to pastamania to eat breakfast. clara and i shared one set as we wern't really hungry. after that, annabel went off for drama while the rest of us went to the half-open hougang mall rooftop playground. it was super fun because we were doing stuff like teleporting videos and super lame piccas. anyway, :D. met dominique after that to go for lunch/brunch. we ate at 11 plus, which was really early. ate at pepper lunch while talking about randoms. haha :D slept from 1 to 5 when i got home.

this morning, we had physics SPA. the lab was filled with sounds of amazement as we entered. don't know if that's good, but i managed to finish on time! yay *relieved* not sure if my answer is correct, but fengye (the physics pro) assured me that's it's fine. i trust her sensibility :D
after that was biology lesson. finished up the mitosis/meiosis chapter. it's pretty easy, but there are still things i need to clarify. anyway, mrs ganesan already gave us notebooks to write our doubts in. biology is cool (only the theory, not practical). told mrs ganesan that i had an interest to quit music. then she mentioned some stuff about writing letters and going to see ms soh etc. got me kinda nervous but, nevermind.
music came after that. finished up kamien and did some world music. i kept on wanting to tell mrs tay about my interest to quit, but i didn't wanna spoil her birthday mood. so i kept quiet. anyway, after today's lesson, i'm still reconsidering my choice. after the long hours of thinking during the weekend, i'm still sitting on the fence.

PTM last friday was a complete WRECK. i would NOT like to talk about it, so don't ask me. only the 7ahs know about it.

speaking of 7ahs, we're having a barbeque version of the CNY steamboat this thursday! ok basically it's just a barbeque at claudia/jingyi's nest. with claudia's 3 dogs/jingyi's fancy door knobs, it'll be fun :D hopefully i won't have to get some major scolding when i get home.

CLEAVAGE is just some part of the cell undergoing telophase. why so sensitive?

SPA MADNESS!

2009-03-12T18:26:00.001+08:00

this week was a whole week of SPA trial tests! i'm super sick of experiments now.

PHYSICS:
physics SPA trial was on tuesday. it was on waves (am i allowed to say out the specific topic?). anyway, there wasn't even a tense atmosphere because everyone was talking and comparing answers. mr chang also went around to answer questions. what kind of SPA is that :/ haha. anyway, i think i was QUITE accurate with my results. experiment was easy-peasy.

BIOLOGY:
biology SPA trial was yesterday. unlike the physics one, this SUCKED like crazy. everyone spent like 25 minutes just setting up the experiment. mrs ganesan was shocked. i almost cried as i couldn't really do it (but i still succeeded). at first, no one was talking and it was super scary. then, everyone started whispering to each other, and the whisper turned to talking. mrs ganesan didn't seem to mind somehow. my results were so wrong that i had to fake some values. mrs ganesan made us each take a "rigidy plastic condom" home to practise with. ok that sounded wrong but nevermind, i'm talking in code :D

CHEMISTRY:
chemistry SPA trial was just this morning after recess. ms zahila arranged for us to sit like the actual SPA assessment, which made it kind of scary. this time, we weren't allowed to talk at all. anyway, it was easy-peasy too! whee~ haha. but hopefully i got my table drawing right, because annabel and some others did it differently.

LUCKY THEY'RE ALL JUST SPA TRIALS.

english lesson made me pissed today. first, we were expecting mrs ng to do the vocab book, but she wanted to practise oral! jingyi and i didn't bring our oral stuff at all. sheesh. next, was the passage reading bit. mrs ng called me to read, and after i read, she pintpointed so many errors. i was angry with myself. other people she called to read also had "many errors", according to her. even seowhwee, whom i thought read quite well, had errors. i know mrs ng's trying to help us to score for our oral, but she pintpoints more than praises. i was thinking to make HER read the passage and we point her errors. bet she'll feel so PS. but anyway, i'm not so mean. just felt kinda frustrated.

PTM tomorrow! gosh. i'm thinking of all the possible "what if's " now. hopefully nothing TOO bad happens.

"i'm so cute!" :D
(jingyi/claudia/annabel's gonna give me that ._. face)
it's like a HABIT now. oh no. this means that my progestrone and oestrogen levels are increasing and i'm gonna be SO... FEMININE.

LETHARGIC ME

2009-03-08T17:50:00.000+08:00

*waves hand like a puppet and shouts a lifeless "hello!"*

feeling that annoying late-afternoon lethargy. feeling's been made worse since today's sunday. what does this mean? this means that i have to wake up before daybreak and get ready for another harrowing week of SCHOOL, which signifies a whole new week of tests! well at least it's already term 1 week 10! :D but... that tiny insignificant 7 days off following this week ain't gonna do much.

watched Beneath on HBO this morning. it's some kind of thriller show. didn't really get it because i didn't watch from the start and my earpiece was clogging my ears most of the time so i couldn't hear most of the dialogue (it was on purpose :D). my sis kept trying to tell me about the storyline but i couldn't hear anything. there were some parts that made me jump, but after watching the show, i realised that it wasn't that scary after all. in fact, i think there's some sort of life lesson that we can all learn (though i'm not sure what it is). i just KNOW there's SOMETHING.

i have started to REALLY wear my retainers, because i figured that i'm not gonna let my teeth shift back again and waste that sum of $ for the braces treatment. yes, this is called SELF-DISCIPLINE, also my brother's class name in st gabriel's primary. long name eh? haha. all right back to the retainers topic. my mouth is totally aching like crazy D: but i can really feel that my teeth have shifted back. gotta wear retainers for 2 whole months 24/7. this means that you'll see me with a weird mouth shape, salivating like mad (that's normal) and talking as if i have a short tongue. every recess, i've gotta take of my retainers and wear them again. it's all part of commitment, and clara's gonna help motivate me. she keeps saying "sam, you're not wearing your retainers right?" i reply by saying "it's painful!" and she'll start nagging at me like my mum. so, yeah, clara's gonna motivate me to wear my retainers. next appointment's on december 15 this year. darn, still got so long more.

I LOVE RADIO.

OH SO PLEASANT

2009-03-06T22:12:00.000+08:00

today was a good school day :D

had all the twinning and school overseas trip presentations during assembly this morning. it was kinda cool. the shenyang twinning programme was entirely the same as the one i went to in 2007. anyway, it brought back memories :D

i am SO glad ms zahila postponed the chemistry SPA trial because the actual SPA got postponed too. really ain't prepared for SPA today. will i ever be? i don't know. *note to self: practise good time management* seriously. every minute of SPA is super crucial. good news: my hands don't tremble when i'm pouring liquids anymore :D

choir was SOOO MUCH better than wednesday :D our SYF slot is the 2nd last slot of the 1st half on the 3rd day. gettit? before us, there's dunman sec and catholic high, both gold with honours choirs o.o haha XD ms yee decided not to change Diu Diu Dang to the japanese song because she thinks it's got "potential" (as quoted). really, i think that song could really work, but only if everyone in choir focuses and thinks and be not so forgetful :/ no more audition for sec4s!

after choir, waited for szewen to collect my sister's nametag. sheesh i waited really long for girl guides to end! after getting the nametags, went with claudia to watch the SLs going for LTC + wantian play captain's ball. took a few snazzy piccas of wantian's bear and other stuff too :D love her camera! match ended at around 7pm plus. went home with wantian while claudia went to eat with rima.

and here i am now! :D

ORAL

2009-03-05T19:30:00.000+08:00

yoohoo~ again! so far, this week has been OKAY for me.

had choir audition for O Lux yesterday. ms yee was kinda upset about the whole thing. at first she gave the sec 4s special privileges and made us sing together as a section. somehow, someone pushed and the whole thing went like a tone higher than it's supposed to be. as a result, all sec 4s are gonna have to audition tomorrow. the other levels went up key too. a lot of people failed D: i think it's really wasted for those who sacrificed LTC for SYF, but now they're not in SYF, meaning they can go for LTC. sucks. ms yee also wants to change Diu Diu Dang with another japanese song, because to put it bluntly, we suck at Diu Diu Dang. SOME people just keep pushing and insisting on that note, especially all the ff parts.

today i had chinese oral after school. was the first batch for 4hum. the passage had a lot of words that i couldn't really read D: managed to get cai li lao shi! (my fave chinese teacher :D) but of course, i'm aware that O level oral examiners won't be so lenient. as such, i'm gonna start practising CHINESE. passage was about some housewife winning some trophy, and the conversation (most hated) was about school bullies. cai li lao shi helped me to rephrase some of my sentences during oral. guess i screwed after all D:

SPA coming up soon. teachers (especially chem) are drilling us for it. in primary school, i used to love experiments because i thought they were fun. now, they're just boring and tedious.

i can never understand singapore's education system. why are we studying things like vectors and graph functions and differentiation? there's totally no link at all. they are siao people :/

clara/claudia says i like tiny guys (still taller than me) who are younger than me. still don't understand why they said that. even though i'm not very tall and don't look like a sec 4, this is ridiculous o.o HAHH.

oh dominique *sighs*

confused = kern-fused :D

A SECOND HOPE

2009-03-02T20:38:00.001+08:00

yoohoo everybody! (yes this will be my new style of greeting... the guniang way) anyway, i am so proud to annouce that... *drumroll please*... i have just witnessed another double rainbow today! saw it went i was going home with claudia, and we were like "woah!" it's so AWESOME ok! imagine seeing a rainbow last friday, and then another one today! it's like... becoming a norm now. i am so smart because i actually predicted the rainbow :D

ok can't say very much. would just like to comment on english lesson today. mrs ng gave a super weird assignment: we were supposed to construct paragraphs and sentences with vocab words that we found. since the topic that jingyi and i picked was "occupation", we had a lot of career words ("career" is one of them too!). you know what's the first thing that came to our minds?

he is a doctor. he helps to cure sick people.
she is a florist. she arranges and sells flowers.
i am a ventriloquist. i can talk and you won't even know i'm talking.

:D what more can we say?

yep so that's pretty much for today. now i gotta scooter off and do that stupid geography assignment and all my other stupid homework.

p.s i don't have to attend maths/english afternoon programme anymore.
p.p.s that is SO NOT GOOD.
p.p.p.s claudia, you're a noob at umbrella-holding! :D (she got me half-drenched)

PRETTY PRETTY RAINBOW!

2009-02-26T20:06:00.000+08:00

there was this really heavy storm yesterday, since it was a CCA day, there were many people seeking shelter at the canteen. i stayed till around 6.30pm and sat with my choir friends. then, we walked and walked to the traffic light, and i saw a super giant and cool rainbow! then, i got very excited and started screaming like some psycho freak. everyone made me feel so suaku by saying stuff like "wow, this is the happiest moment of samantha's life after 16 years" and "you never see rainbow before meh?" so POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK! (oo i used an idiom :D) after crossing the road, everyone started taking out their phones and snapped piccas of the rainbow. tingying claims that her phone cam was wonky, so i snapped one for her :D thank me! went home with chelyn. there was an awkward silence as we went home. oh oh and the rainbow view was really superly awesome at the downstairs of my house! it was this giant semicircle, like how people draw them in cartoons. didn't know that rainbows could ever be in this shape! best part: double rainbow!

[will upload the rainbows some other time]

had chemistry practical test on qualitative analysis today. it was quite easy, but i hate drawing tables D: anyway, i managed to get it right! yes hooray for me and everyone who got it right!

also had physics practical today. continued with that darned lens experiment. managed to do it in the end, but got some values from other people. hence, my graph isn't as accurate. oh well.

huibing, wantian and i were standing near the rain, outside the class (huibing and wantian were trying to take pictures of raindrops, i wanted to get wet). in the end, we got REALLY REALLY wet. my back was totally drenched, and my chair had my butt print went i sat down. cool.

cross country tomorrow. wanna do duty, but have to run since there's no duty. damnit. last year, i got to do treasure hunt duty, so it was fun. this year... i don't know.

right now, i feel as if i just swallowed a bunch of nails. my throat hurts like mad, espcially when i swallow. lucky choir audition is next week and not this week. hopefully can recover by then :D

FLAG DAY & STUFF

2009-02-23T22:38:00.001+08:00

hello. this is just some impromptu post, so hope you don't mind the messiness and stuff. i gotta get a heavy burden off my chest D:

flag day was kinda fun (emphasise on KINDA). supposed to meet mrs nathan at the kovan station at 7.30am, but woke up at 7.15am. panicked, but then i realised that panicking wasn't gonna help, so i decided to rush instead! so met mrs nathan blah blah... reached the collection point at 8.10am. pretty early eh? met shize on the way too. mrs nathan kept asking me about my post-sec education and my siblings and stuff. you know, the typical questions that teachers ask students during some random LCE counselling. other 4hum people came bit by bit.

after collecting our apex tins, we went off to try our luck at different places. turned out that claudia was at band, so i paired up with clara and we went to some walkway across the road. based on clara's st john experience, we should not keep shifting from place to place, so we stayed there for almost 2 hours. "business" was good :D managed to get lotsa coins and some notes too. clara got a $10 note o.o i think the cutest part of the job was the teeny kids who came to donate. we had to squat so that they could reach the tins. but most of them donated because of the sticker! and there was this freaky old man...
sam: would you like to donate?
oldie: where does the money go to?
clara: it's for the disabled elderly.
oldie: what about me? i'm old and disabled too, but no one's helping me.
*sam & clara freak out, oldie walks off*

strange eh? ok so at the end of our shift, we proceeded back to the collection point to sign out. darn the apex lady. she said that my tin wasn't heavy and asked me to do 1 more hour. HELLO? this is a DONATION for goodness sake! who demands more during donations? i was kinda mad at her, but i couldn't do it anyway as i had piano lesson after that. bad mood after that D:

left the place at 12.03pm. annabel and the rest went to watch The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button and eat chocolate fondue while i went off for lesson. however, i felt SO DARN SLEEPY in the train that i decided to cancel my lesson. so went home and slept for 3+ hours. then went to grandma's house for dinns.

something weird happened on msn. shall not talk about it.

sometimes, i impersonate my sis on msn, and i'm a super pro! to all sabrina's friends: you may not be talking to her!

i realised that i can type my email without looking at the keys! that's cool :D

i am trying to get amnesia. someone help me? D:

suddenly in love with school. don't know why :D

i can do a long post like this in 20 minutes, but it takes me hours to do a simple english/chinese journal.

NUMBER 100!

2009-02-20T22:14:00.001+08:00

whee it's my hundredth post! YESSS! finally reached the big 1 double O... after a year and 2 months. slow eh? no matter. i'm still happy :D

had SL investiture today. the process was much slower than the rehearsal because of all the speeches and videos and such. anyway, I GOT MY BADGE BACK! confirmed it's mine :D adele and chester (i finally know who's chester!) are 2 very cute emcees because they're [short]er than me, and adele has this unique voice sound :D

flag day's tomorrow! kinda excited about it because i don't know why. meeting mrs nathan at 7.30am at hougang station. that's so early man D: will she blabber about maths? i shall find out tomorrow ;D i suspect that mrs nathan is gonna collect stuff before the flag day. otherwise why would she wanna meet so early? :/

according to ms yee, choir members can't go for LTC unless they're in exco. darn it i was so looking forward to that. but anyway i guess it's worth missing it for choir :D i already went last year, which by the way was oh so fun (check my archives). hopefully choir can get gold and beyond this time again! frankly speaking, i'm kinda worried about our choir standard now. seems to be dropping since charlene's time. i think we all should totally get the SYF mindset and try to be more attentive and also practise more. GO CHOIR! :D yay.

my O level exam fee is a whopping 476 bucks o.o way more than everyone else's D: got 4 additional components because of the music exam. damn.

OH?

2009-02-18T20:49:00.000+08:00

today's a good day :D

we had physics practical in the morn. we did some experiment whereby we were supposed to view some pin thingy through a converging lens and make sure everything coincides. almost everyone (some pairs managed to get the values) couldn't see the inverted image and mr chang and madam ee had to go around and help us. aiqi and i had to keep changing our values after asking how the image should look like. it was a frustrating.

shall not elaborate about chinese. hahha.

next after recess, came geography. we went to the computer lab to do our research about deforestation. annabe even created a blog for it. yay i'm an admin! but now i got 4 blogs. darn. at least the 3hum'08 blog isn't functioning anymore.

biology came after that. did some workbook and bio stuff. mrs ganesan said that she'll probably start a little on human reproduction next week. she mentions it as "noel's favourite topic". well not surprised that she said that! oh noel says that a lot of people think i'm sick. really? who? oh well :D

a maths came after that. we went through the exercises. differentiation is cool :D i like. mrs nathan also gave us some circles and matrices worksheets to help us prepare for the upcoming common test. yucks i hate circles and matrices. she also sorta digressed and went on to talk about flag day this saturday! whee i think it's gonna be fun :D she wrote down the entire route on the board, connected by arrows and stuff. a little like a flow chart if you ask me.

today's afternoon programme was chemistry. we went to the lab to do experiments to test for gases, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, chloride gas, sulphur dioxide and ammonia. it was kinda cool, although the whole lab was totally polluted with all sorts of gases. felt a bit light-headed after that. the hydrogen one was the best! it extinguishes a flame with a POP sound. at one point, a lot of us were doing the hydrogen experiment, so many random POPs could be heard all around. it was so cute :D

had SL investiture rehearsal after school. did all the usual stuff and did the dance at actual speed. quite fun actually. can't wait for SL investiture this friday!

i was here, fear me.

posting this in response to my tagboard. hello everyone, i am still around, not leaving. so this blog ain't gonna die so soon (unlike jingyi's). haha :D

everyone got totally busted by cheng lao shi yesterday. what a way to spend the first lesson in school. but lucky it was the first lesson, so by the time the day has ended, everyone would have regained their normal happy selves. seriously, cheng lao shi scared me yesterday. my hands were shaking as i was doing the zuo ye 1 and 2. anyway jingyi said that cheng lao shi was kinda friendly during the 20min detention that was supposed to be an hour. she's just acting fierce i guess. hooray for cheng lao shi for not being mad at us anymore! :D

today we commemorated total defence day. assembly was kinda cool as there was some funny play and also a silent video created by 4 hope. i realised that 4 hope is a very creative and spontaneous class. that's great. then at 9am, we were supposed to switch off all electricity supplies so as to have a first-hand experience of war conditions. lucky class is on the top floor, but still... darn. canteen sold war food like sweet potato, green bean soup and peanut porridge. the bad news is that there wasn't much variety, the good news is that we just hve to pay $1 and just take and go, unlike usual times where the whole canteen's practically in chaos.

today's also valentine's eve! some people gave me kisses chocs and salanne/queenie gave a boost bar! woo i LOVE boost bar and kisses chocs! but why do people always relate valentine's day with sweets and sugary delights that cause tooth mayhem that is totally undelightful? who knows, who cares? i love chocolates.

currently eating mummy's blueberry cake. i love blueberry cake!

:D

DAMN.

2009-02-06T20:47:00.000+08:00

it's been 5 days since i posted. oh well.

the OBS people came back today! woohoo i finally got my shirt :D thanks salanne. i realised that i can group them into 3 categories.

1) sunburned
2) no burn
3) chilli sauce

ok i shall not eloaborate anything about that cuz it's kinda strange. some of the sec 3s came for choir today! (they didn't sing, just watched) shervin's hand was totally burned and red. when we were returning back to the music room from sectionals, i was walking beside her and could feel her had radiating heat! that's so cool. salanne didn't burn much, but she did get darker. esther was weird because since her fringe covered one side of her face, only the side exposed to the sun burned. haha. it's the same scenario as me.

note to self: pin up my fringe before partaking in outdoor activities that may have something to do with UV light.

ryan was the worse! he's got some mega serious third-degree burns on his face. i never thought anyone could burn like a barbeque, until now. he says that he has sensitive skin. so do i o.o PE under the sun may cause my arms to turn slightly reddish. he looked scary at first because of the fact that he could get skin cancer (touch wood) anytime. but after a while, he looked kinda funny :D wonder if he's gonna have a hard time showering. and there's this majorly disgusting blister thingy on his ear. wonder how that got there?

to ryan: I WOULD LOVE TO CHANGE SKIN CONDITIONS WITH YOU, BUT YOU CAN KEEP THAT BLISTER :D

MOOD SWINGS

2009-02-01T15:01:00.001+08:00

hello! suddenly feeling much better now. haha. still kinda jealous, but i figured that being jealous won't help me get to OBS, so let's just live life as it is and be happy. hahhs (still dissed at the afternoon programme thingy though).

i'm really like claudia this year. i'm totally slacking like her, i love taking pictures like her, and my handwriting looks like hers. what's the deal with that? oh well.

dad's talking about a end-of-year trip to chiangmai (subject to change). looking forward to that :D my dad hasn't sat a plane for 8 years, mum for 16 years and sis and bro haven't sat at all. as for me, i haven't sat a plane with my family before. wonder how it'll be like?

yay me for being a happy kid :D

THE BLUES D:

2009-02-01T12:12:00.001+08:00

i got flu today and OBS for sec 3s starts tomorrow. is this some kind of prank? freaky deja vu (if you know what happened last year). maybe i'm just not fated to go for any OBS in my entire life.

-i showed claudia my most ugly me on friday. sorry claudia, didn't mean it.
-i hate how people keep talking about OBS once they're back, and when i tell them i didn't go, some say, "HAHA, someone didn't go!" WTH.
-afternoon programmes are still frigging stupid. what's up with that?
-dropped my phone yesterday, which caused the camera button to stop working. so now i have to use the direction button to take photos. anyway, my phone cam is crap. whatever.
life is screwy.
oh shut up sam.

apologies if you think i'm acting like some crap now, but i'm really REALLY upset.

HI.

2009-01-29T23:09:00.002+08:00

recently, i've been visiting the facebook profiles of my primary school friends, and i realised one thing - i'm a total plain-jane compared to them. people like eeching, eunice and noelle look so glam in their photos. food for thought: should i make an attempt to go shopping, or just pretend to be a boy amidst them? they really make me feel like a total pauper o.o is that good? i don't know.

oh annabel and clara got me thinking real hard during recess today. the question was "how many fingers do you use to type?" sounds simple? think again man. at first i was SO sure that i used all 10, but then i stopped to think again, and my brain got all messed up. thanks peeps. anyway now i know that i use 6 fingers to type (minus mr. pinky and mr. thumb on both hands). you may think it's weird, but it's pretty easy to type this way, for me :D

claudia became a class treasurer today. apparently, yanxu couldn't hold on to that post anymore because he's a SL. mrs nathan came into class this morning and randomly picked someone, which luckily/unluckily became claudia. she got a shock (i think) but then settled with it quite well. you go claudia! she's gonna get her treasurer badge during CEC investiture tomorrow. i think it's so amusing that she can become a treasurer for a day, and she's gonna collect a really SHINY badge the next day. it's like a shock bomb thrown from the mrs nathan jetplane. oh well, claudia will make a GREAT TREASURER! :D

had CEC investiture rehearsal after school, then me, wantian and claudia went to KFC to goof off. hahhs. so it was a normal eating/gossiping/homework session when...
claudia: what's the ex-word for "the doctors SOMETHING euthanasia..." ex...
sam & wantian: oh ya! ex... ex... ex...
sam/wantian/claudia:
extra
exfoliate
excellent
exile
exercise
exterminate
excruciate
extinguish
*all 3 of them feel super annoyed because the word's floating in their head but it just can't come out*
suddenly...
wantian: execute
claudia: OH YEAH!
wantian: huh? really?
*all 3 start laughing at their stoopeedeetee*

cool right? haha. oh and to add on, there was this mum who left her daughter in a pram while she ordered food. the kid was crying while sucking a pacifier, so the pacifier dropped out, which made her cry even more. mum didn't seem to care, but this KFC guy started looking at the kid and telling her not to cry, and she really stopped! but the moment he walked off, she started crying again. so he had to keep going back to her while doing his job at the same time. claudia, wantian and i were really amused at this scenario. it was like the KFC guy was the kid's parent, and mum was nobody. how awesome is that? :D

afternoon programme starts next week. i'm totally packed after school until the year ends. apparently the HODs and ms soh feel that we should stay back in school more so that we WILL study. they believe that it we're left on our own, we won't study. helloo? who's that stupid as to not study for the big Os? OBVIOUSLY they're trying to prevent us from resting (it's beneficial so that your mind will be at peace and you can focus). some of the teachers are trying to get them to cut us some slack. hopefully it'll work. i think HODs and ms soh should take into account that we're already nagged down by our folks at home to stop fooling around and start revising. HI is too strict.

damn it. MAY NOT (i didn't say "won't") be blogging so often already. cyber ban created by my folks to control my cyber wants.

:D

2009-01-28T19:51:00.004+08:00

hello people :D let's talk random today!

1) my fingernails are too long to do anything related to pressing buttons. even doing this post and sending smses are hard. should i cut them? i have piano lessons this saturday and my teacher's gonna be super irritated by those woodpecker sounds i'm gonna make while banging on the keys. damn. ok i should :D

2) i just uninstalled and installed messenger because it was all screwy and so didn't work at all. this new one's kinda strange. i don't even know if it's a new version or not. the display piccas for chat windows are on the left. the messenger icon has some yellow line across it. they don't use the green man if you're online, now they colour code everything using squares (green, red, orange etc.) i can't do any of those colour coding thingy (not that i even use it, but still.) what's wrong/right? poo.

3) i so wanna go OBS. totally unfair that i missed my chance last year (don't ask why, bad memories). anyway, i asked salanne to buy me a shirt (so that people will know that i'm at least a sec3 and not some primary school kiddo). cheers to her! i owe her big time.

4) i STILL don't like the lesson structure for our school. no breaks, massive homework, and teachers complain that we don't pay attention. hey try paying attention when you're already wiped out by all the other naggings and stress.

5) i SUPER don't like the idea of home visits by mrs nathan/mrs ganesan. it's kinda freaky if you ask me. imagine both of them appearing at your doorstep without an invite! darn it. wantian said that i could be one of them because mrs nathan stays near my place. oh man! hopefully i will escape. my room's still as messy as last year. oh well, there goes the "cleaning up room" resolution! i hate making empty promises D: this home visit thing has got something to do with mock exam and dropping subjects. oh why why does mrs ganesan have a car?!

6) claudia takes awesome photos :D love her cam, love her more (not a les). to claudia: i look SO retarded in your snaps of me! darn. spastic ok D:

7) i realised that my parents have this camera that has this chrome effect. it's super cool and goes really well with macro shots. if i got a cable and if the camera's hadn't gone bonkers (it dies in 45 mins after you charge and use it & some part is dented cuz we dropped it plenty of times, which probably led to the bonker disease), i'll totally upload the super awesome snaps of WHATEVER that i took :D

8) yoongaunn goes for tuition at kovan? well that's something that i learnt today, but like they say, "huo dao lao, xue dao lao". you are never too old to learn. then again, i'm not even old. oh well, hees. if he assasinates me, i'll do something darn horrible to his little charlie :D wahahaha!

9) there's this book called "Life At The Shallow End". it's darn nice and the main character, electra, is really random. that makes me happy :D oh yeah there's also a "claudia barnes" in the book, but her character is totally different from claudia ang wj ;D

10) my link box is getting out of hand, ain't it?

sayonara fellow civilians! super sam is flying off to eat some porridge!

WAHAHA!

2009-01-25T18:03:00.001+08:00

i love taking macro shots :D

and i realised that you can positify a negative picture by negatifying the picture again! am i suaku or what?

happy CNY eve everyone!

SEC TWO CAMP

2009-01-24T17:50:00.000+08:00

heyho people! came back from sec 2 camp a couple of days ago. slept for 15 hours after that, before waking up again! hoho XD yep now i've got the ENERGY to blog about it. but i won't blog so much in detail cuz it's not really my camp.

campsite was really quite ulu. nothing more than a scouts camp and some farms (but they were at the main road so it's not counted). trekking (more like amazing race) was kinda un-fun. we had to walk all the way to the main road, which was... whoa darn far away. so we sung cheers and stuff to get the group going! SOME people kept kicking sand though, which was major irritation. i don't know how the trainers planned the trekking thing. our first stop was a dragon fruit farm. there was an old man who looked kinda surprised when he saw a whole bunch of people entering. then he scolded us and told us that the farm doesn't open on mondays. too bad. then the next stop was a goat farm. our instructor bought a bottle of goat milk and all of us (including PSLs) had to have a taste of the milk. quite nice, but it's got a gross aftertaste. we were sorta delayed at the goat farm cuz of some misunderstanding between our instructor and the owner. who knows what happened?

there was campfire prep in the evening. charity was doing a dance to the song Low. shiqi, sherman and i learnt the dance for fun :D i guess we gve opportunities for the people in charity to lead themselves. the dance was kinda cool. shiqi and i kept LMAO at dominique and his michael jackson move. it looks kinda wrong, but nevermind :D

station games were quite fun, particularly the marbles one. the EVEN group was split into 2, then they had to play the marble game from 2 different places. the first group to reach the cup won! sherman and i took charge of one group each. my group kept screwing up halfway, and we had to start all over again. then there was this moment in time when we ALMOST reached, then it dropped! and the other team laughed at us, then their marble dropped! then i laughed and went all crazy, in-your-face style.

hgh elements was screwed. the instructors were half fierce, half friendly. our group got in trouble cuz jingwei threw stones at the instructor. the caribena kiapped my thumb D: i cheered in the sun, hoping to sunburn myself, but to no avail D: adele, minhan, dominique etc all had worse burns than me.

campfire was awesome :D charity got 37/40 for campfire performance! wow didn't expect we'll do so well. the ava people kept playing songs like YMCA and You Raise Me Up. anyway, it was dancing to them :D the sky was really cool that night. i saw a whole bunch of stars at one spot. wonder if it's the milky way? who knows.

charity got 2nd best class! it's a miracle how that happened. oh well ;D

erika has sunburns too. i'm jealous D:
msn's screwed.

PINK GORILLA.

2009-01-17T18:51:00.000+08:00

hello. ok i know i haven't been cyber-active recently. there's so much work to do! and i mean A LOT. oh poo. being a sec 4 really sucks D: i somehow satisfied my new year resolution about not procrastinating and passing up work on time... but it only lasted for a few days. now, homework is totally piling to the top. why can't the teachers give us a break? i mean, they have a long break in between each lesson. mrs nathan end work at 11am on a certain thursday. so not fair.

oh well. going for sec 2 camp this monday! will definitely get roasted like a marshmellow. taking EVEN group with sherman. minhan you better watch out >:D wahahahahahh. i PROMISE that i'll blog about the camp cuz i know some people get their entertainment by reading my posts. haha.

CNY is so blah. what's with the tacky and cheesy songs?

shall end here for now. come back in a week, ok?

PS. who wants to hear the joke about a pink gorilla? :D i can tell you, but it's lame.

ALL TIRED OUT.

2009-01-07T20:22:00.001+08:00

hello fellow freaks.
i shall be typing like that for now,
because i'm too LAZY and tired to
type like my usual way.
and the sec four schedule
doesn't permit me to type my usual way.
so there you go.
this post shall be simple (not necessarily short) and sweet :D
ok here goes.

my sister just came back from sec one camp.
turns out that she made SIX new friends (all girls),
and that a lot of people could tell that she had a sister called SAMANTHA.
the all went, "hey is your sister samantha?"
she felt strange.
so did i when she told me.
how LOL.
she's cute in a weird way because
first she asked me for jiayi's number.
i gave it to her.
then she asked me to ask jiayi for some other people's number.
then i said,
"if you have jiayi's number, why don't you ask her yourself?"
HAHA.
oh and she wrote affirmation notes,
ONLY to the PSLs of 1 charity.
tomorrow she has lessons.
muahahaha! XD

today we went to republic poly.
the place was opened in 2007.
a super duper big compound.
LOVES.
it was quite cool as we went around,
visiting all the courses and stuff.
their canteen is the BESTIE (maybe cuz i was hungry that time).
anyway, their canteen looked more like a food court,
complete with aircon, music and that tv that the hougang mall macs has.
we're going to singapore poly tomorrow.
whee!
doreen studies there.
hopefully i get to see her :D

homework due:
chinese holiday homework. OMGOSH.
chemistry.
biology.
english holiday homework. DIE.
physics.

how am i supposed to finish by tomorrow?! damnit.

HAPPY OH NINE!

2009-01-01T03:25:00.000+08:00

hello one and all! ok my whole family's asleep now. in order to not wake them up, i have to be quiet with the mouse and keyboard and everything. so this post shall be short and sweet :D

so, it's my FIRST POST OF THE YEAR! whee!~ haha i'm being lame here. anyway, i just wanna wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR! how awesome is that.

i shall be positive by only saying the...

3 things i like about 2009:
1) no more ohheights! because ohheight sounds like oh-height, which is strange.
2) i'm gonna be a HI senior, meaning that i'm wiser and more mature than before. nonetheless, i will still have that little kid in me :D
3) my sister's gonna be a sec1'09 student in HI!

oh gosh, school starts tomorrow.

hahhs :D

THE LAST DAY EVER

2008-12-31T13:59:00.001+08:00

whee!~ today's the last day of 2008 :D tomorrow, it'll be 2009 and i'll be looking forward to my 16th birthday, which will be in 10 months time. haha annabel's birthday is just round the corner. what does that signify? nothing ;D

i got some super cool news! my sis is coming to HI! woohoo! it's a funny story actually. everything happened yesterday.
*mummy calls HI office in the morning*
mum: hello. i was wondering if my child got in.
lady at the phone: sorry not successful.
mum (a bit irritated): how you know who am i?
lady at the phone: if you didn't receive a call from us, means not successful.

aren't they rude? what happened to customer service? so my mum totally confirmed that sis was not in HI. then they went to greendale to buy books and uniform, which by the way looks kinda "maid-like" - quoted from grandma.

then sometime in late afternoon...
*sam at friend's house doing stuff*
sis (over the phone): wei dajie! you got size 24 HI skirt?
sam: huh? why you want?
sis: aiya just answer me lah!
sam: is it for your friend?
sis: don't tell you!
sam: tell me!
sis: ok lah. i got into HI!
sam (a bit suspicious but am chio-ing): sure anot? don't bluff me leh!
sis: really!
*sam hangs up the phone and goes all excited!*

turns out it really is true. some other kid somehow decided to back out, so my sister got the spot! ok another funny bit.
*mum calls dad*
mum: hey erjie got into dajie's school. should i accept?
dad (without hesitation): YES!

mummy was a bit reluctant because everything's been bought already. what's she gonna do with all the greendale books? i have no idea. darn why can't i do sec1 camp? seriously.

my sister's all excited about coming HI too. in fact, she's SO excited till she's asking stuff like "jie, can i use black pen?" and "jie, does your school use green pen to do corrections?" i was like o.o oh well. i'll be going to school with her this friday! please come and say "hi", or else she'll feel out of place, ok? haha.

new year resolutions:
1) stop procrastinating.
2) do and pass up my homework on time.
3) don't bully my sister in HI, only at home. *chuckles*
4) clean up my room so my brother will remove the "MR MESSY" colour-in at my door.
5) make at least 10 new friends :D

HAPPY ALMOST-NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

PEE-ESS-ELLES OI!

2008-12-29T01:27:00.007+08:00

PSL camp was darn good fun. wanna hear my story? it's like doing a reflection :/

DAY ONE:
reached school at like 7.20am and saw all the other PSLs in the canteen erm ... mingling? yep. gathered at the parade square according to our class we're taking. oh man it's back to the charity. 2charity'09 some more! wait till they find out i'm taking them again. gahh D: i want fresh faces! i want sec1s! ok anyway, people in the same group were shiqi (the other already-taken-charity person o.o), sherman,chengen, rebecca, benjamin, jiayi and jiayun. at first, the only people i knew were shiqi, chengen and rebecca. but after playing some icebreakers in the hall, i guess everyone started to know each other.

after the icebreakers, we had the rules and expectations thing. wow that was really long, but still really important :D haha. CCI workshop came next. our trainer, ethan, was quite the crapper XD he kept joking with the PC and some others like fucheng and ivan. he split us into 8 groups, then each of his facilitators were assigned to 1 group. then, in our groups, using 30 straws and 4 rubber bands, we had to come up with a thingamajig that can shoot a pingpong ball. our group did... haha :D he also did power-teaching with us. he says it's adopted from the US. quite effective i must say.

lunch was TOTURE. ok it's not the food. the food was awesome :D some fellow from our table kept saying totally random stuff to make us laugh and choke! it was like funny, yet disturbing o.o and someone else is racist ==" anyway, at least we had some "entertainment" :D

we played station games after lunch. they were all the traditional ones that i've been playing since don't know when. HI Ladder was a torture because chengen was SOOOO heavy o.o i almost toppled D: Soapy Maths was darn fun, but also darn tough because most of the guys were on the other team, therefore they won most of the time. then there was jiayi, who was darn afraid of water or something. she was in the same team as me and she was #1. ziying kept calling her number and mine (#2) together so that she would participate. but most of the time, i was the only one wrestling for the soap o.o well i don't blame her or anything. oh and 3 Minutes No NG was quite gross as we had to transfer super salt water from one bottle to another with our mouths. the feeling was like... omgosh.

then we had the yet another classic nightwalk! i paired with jiayi. our first route was down the basement, which is also the freakiest. i shan't say much in case some sec1s, like my sister's classmates who are coming to HI read this post, then i'll spoil the surprise D: just wanna emphasise that jiayi and i fell down the basment steps and landed on our bums.

after nightwalk, we had 45 minutes to do our campfire prep. we were blank at first, but somehow or another, the totally genius ME suddenly thought of something random like powerpuff girls (there was no theme, so we could be as random as we could). the others thought it was a good idea, so we did power PSLs! just in case PPG was copyrighted or something like that. hahhs ;D

a fruitful day indeed ;D

DAY TWO:
woke up BRIGHT and SUPER early at 6.18am! ok it wasn't really bright. assembled at 7.30am for morning PT, which was to learn the mass dance! it's the Mamma Mia song thingy. shouldn't spoil the surprise again D: but the steps are cool! i think the PC mistook "jive" for "drive" though.

then there was the SEL workshop conducted by russell and melvin. some parts were a bit boring, some parts were not. but anyway, we learnt the importance of SEL and how we can apply it while doing PSL duty. the five aspects are social awareness, self awareness, responsible decision making, relationship management and self management. haha :D

lunch was funny (actually i didn't get why my table was laughing at me).
*sherman and chengen randomly mentioning something about vibrators*
sam (out of curiousity): what are vibrators?
*whole table stares at sam, then bursts out in laughter*
*sam gave the weird look*
benjamin/chengen: you mean you don't know?
sam: heard before only.
jiayi: want me to explain?
sam: you have ah?
*whole table laughs even harder and starts choking on rice*

CCI workshop again after the SEL workshop. we did more power-teaching, and we played teambuilding games after lunch! there were 4 in all, and they were all quite tough. the first one was Water Elevator, whereby we had to transport a pail of water from one end of the parade square to another using our legs, and our stomachs had to be facing the sky. and after reaching the end, we had to remove our shoes and socks without putting down the pail. it was like... painful.

the 2nd game was Poison River, whereby we had to cross the parade square while stepping on newspapers. easy? not really because we couldn't communicate and the facilitators had every right to confiscate newspapers that were not occupied. in the end, inglee, huibing and i squeezed on one paper, lydia was stuck between 2 papers and melvin threw his shoes at pearlyn o.o

the 3rd game was Floating Apples, whereby we had to pick 5 apples from a pail of water and finish all 5. it looked damn wrong when you see 2 guys/girls trying to bite the apple from each others' mouths, but who cares? :D the weirdest part was when my lips touched huibing's lips when i was trying to bite the apple from her! the feeling was really... erm... gross :/ i, for one, am not a lesbian. neither is she. stupid gerald kept asking dionne to take pictures of us cuz he thought we looked funny D:

the last game was Fill It Up, whereby we were supposed to fill a bottle containing a pingpong ball, to the brim so that the ball will fall out, using a "Holy (holey) Cup". the holes were like bead sized. the person holding the cup was not allowed to move his/her position. every group manipulated the cup by stuffing socks or anything that can absorb. it was quite irritating as lydia and huibing were trying to use the guys' shirts to wring the water out, but the ball was still in. then, melvin came with water in his mouth, and with one spit, he managed to get it! woohoo~! even though we didn't get 1st place for any of the games, we sure had loads of fun ;D

we played Green Revolution after that. it was like Dawn Of War, except that there were recycling concepts in it. i was in Yellow Union, along with the other charity PSLs, unity PSLs and hope PSLs. being an engineer, it wasn't really easy as most of the soldiers were out in the parade square fighting to the death, therefore there was no one to protect the engineers when they went around securing checkpoints, recycling centres and collecting recyclables. vivienne and i kept asking for soldiers. they followed at first, but they got distracted when another soldier came running by. anyway, war games like that are always fun :D

campfire was after that! haha it was loads of fun! everyone was so high, even the stars were shining brightly. aww... the funniest bit was when we played some fashion show thing, then people were supposed to contribute items to those who were the models. JUST SO HAPPEN i was sitting beside benjamin, while sherman and chengen were in front of us. then the emcees asked for 5 shirts, and all 3 of them took theirs off. i was like o.o jiayi was behind me, and i turned to look at her. she gave me that totally weird face.
jiayi: wei! turn back lah. face the front.
*sam refuses, because...*
sam (whispers in a joking manner): don't want! later i get too excited!
*jiayi, thinking it's real, goes all wide-eyed and starts laughing*
*then ivan, behind jiayi, starts laughing and making fun of sam*
*then ivan tells pearlyn, and everyone around there makes fun of sam*
*sam goes all red and looks at the stars instead*
that was one of the most embarrassing experiences ever!

supper was awesome! we ate macs ;D then shiqi wrapped her burger with tissue, and someone started thinking weirdly and asked what it looked like. i said it was 2 testicles joined together and eveyone laughed again! and all the funny stuff, like have i seen a ___insert choice body part here___ came out again. gahh. it's always me! oh benjamin should stop hitting my sunburned arms D:

another fruitful day :D

DAY THREE:
phew finally the last day of camp! woke up bright, but not early. it was 7am! panicked a little, but i still made it on time :D yay me. had first aid talk done by melvin. everyone kept shooting questions about this and that and blah. haha i guess everyone really wants to take precautions. oh well. did area cleaning while the sec1 PSLs had a briefing. the toilets were quite gross. why do girls' hairs keep dropping! why can't our hair be like the guys? they have it so easy. and nope, i won't shave, if that's what you're thinking ;D we also had to write to our mortals. mine was gabriel. haha. he kept saying "good morning/night/afternoon" to me. wonder if he already knew? hmm.

broke camp in AVA 1, came home, and dozed till 9pm (i bathed before that).

darn the USB.

LONG, BUT NOT LOST ;D

2008-12-18T16:41:00.001+08:00

somehow or another, i managed to find my p6 classmates' blogs! haha thank you sister, and google search engine :D i should add them to my links, shouldn't i? heehee ok i shall do that. and during my blog-hopping, i discovered our 6charity'05 blog! woah i didn't know we have a blog! i feel so betrayed D: or maybe it's because i didn't have a blog last time o.o it hasn't been updated since 13 may 2007. actually that's not too bad, considering that it was created in 2005/2006. hopefully they'll remember me when i tag ;D

ok, back to linking work and facebook! (pet society's undergoing maintenance D:)

my 2nd post of the day :D somehow...

p.s it's strangely exciting how all my ex-classmates love using navigational blogs o.o

PLEASE FIX THE LEAKING TAP, TYVM.

2008-12-18T01:06:00.005+08:00

hello people :D i know it's an awkward timing to blog, but it's kinda like a habit now.

anyway, see my title? nope it's not a real leaking tap in my house. it's my darn it nose (actually come to think of it, my house tap did leak last week, and my dad had to tun off the water supply to our house. hoho.) and nope *again* i ain't caught the nasty flu bug. somehow or another, i breathed in soap when i was showering. the feeling was totally worse than breathing in water. my nose was in total pain and i almost cried. then my nose started leaking you-know-what, and i hurried with the massive amounts of tissues (still going on now as i type.) sneezed a whole lotta crap. my mum asked what happened.

mum: aiyo, what happen?
sam (with rudolph nose and teary eyes): i breathed in face soap, now my nose is irritated and i can still smell the soap.
mum: how can? you bathe upside-down issit?
-silence-
*sam gives a big HAAA-CHEWWWW!~*
grandma (oh so random while watching the tellie): throw your clothes in the machine properly hor.
*sam, still silent and tomato-like, dumps her clothes in the wash.*

so that's pretty much the whole scenario of what happened around 10 something. i'm feeling a lot better now, but it's still kinda flowy, yet a little blocked. oh the suckish irony.

on the contrary... HOORAY! all my good budds are back from ___insert choice country here___. at least life won't be so boring now. only one problem: i'm the only one who goes online when everyone's about to go beddy-bye. great o.o clara, annabel, wantian and claudia are watching Twilight later. i would LOVE to go to relieve myself of my boredom, but i don't really fancy Twilight. it's wayy too happening for me to take part in this crazy trend. and i think it's not really a good idea to go on the screening day. imagine this: hundreds of folks, ranging from cliques to couples, rushing to queue at ___insert choice cinema here___ for Twilight ticks. then all these hundreds of folks squeezing into one darn cinema, where there'll be a whole lot of noise pollution.

besides, i'm collecting my sec 4 school books tomorrow. gahh. why's the holidays going by so quickly? after having a nice chat with jeslyn over the phonie, i'm having second thoughts about going to JC or Poly. someone help me!

omgosh i realised that the last few sentences are rhyming. cool :D

i watched Bolt twice on same days but different weeks. that show's really cute, especially rhino (although his voice gave away the cuteness.) somehow don't get why ___insert choice name here___ thought it was a dumb show. oh well. i guess people who like Twilight will ask me the same question.

if you didn't know, i didn't use the com yesterday night! haha i'm such a good kid eh? then while i was innocently in my room, stuffing my ipod earplugs into my ears, there was this loud "BOOM!" sound and my lights went out. sorta freaked out, but in the stunned way. screamed after 5 seconds, then ran to the living room. turns out one of the bulbs mini-exploded o.o my dad, being the handyman of the house, changed my light for me! thank you mr daddy! i told my grandma, "see? this is what happens when i don't use the com at night." and she burst out in laughter. hoho.

this is a seriously long post, considering that it's about totally useless stuff that happened in my oh so strange life :D

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN.

2008-12-14T23:58:00.000+08:00

today was like one of the most amazing days ever. i feel oddly strange, yet excited for don't know what reason. haha :D THANK YOU BIG CLARA! heehee~

i'm gonna send christmas cards through post to all my peeps ;D haha it's so traditional, with a personal touch. i think it's got much more sentimental value than presents, not to mention the amazing cost difference o.o i'm not saying that i don't want any material gifts during christmas ok? PLEASE don't be totally mistaken about that.

oh and my family will be having a christmas bungalow thingy from 23dec-26dec. it's opposite pasir ris park. there'll be a barbeque on 23rd, 24th and 25th. the barbeque on 23rd is actually for those who can't make it on other days (most people will be visiting relatives since it's christmas). my mum says "the more the merrier!" those who can make it, please inform me. gotta get the details done asap.

today, is a good day.
tonight, will be a great night.

HELLO TO THE HELLO SHOP

2008-12-08T23:25:00.002+08:00

the basic reason that i'm posting is because i realised that my peeps have been updating their blogs too. gotta keep up with the times! :D ok anyway, spent a whopping 3 hours at compass point today. went to the singtel hello shop to get my sister a new phone. guess what? she got the phone that i lost (the red model too!) it's like she's trying to rub it in that i lost my phone. and she's got the free unlimited sms to any service provider. HELLO? is it worth giving that offer to someone who only sends 10 smses per week? i'm so not GREEN-EYED! i don't even have green eyes. hmph. still 20 minutes before her phone finishes charging. i helped her charge and she went all bossy with me! oh now we've got 3 of the same chargers in my house. gahh.

ok back to the compass point trip. ate at sakura, not because the food's THAT great, but because the kopitiam was totally packed o.o anyway, the food's not that bad ;D oh and my sister bought the "hairspray" soundtrack. haha the song's are great too. went to bossini kids too! bought 2 tops from there. surprised? so am i. a MR TALL shirt and a LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND BIG BAD WOLF blouse. haha it's damn cute. most girls wear little miss tees, i wear mister tees. hoho. my sis bought the little red riding hood blouse too, but hers is a different colour zzz.

so that's all i did today. tomorrow, claudia dearie, noel and kaiyang (?) are coming over to do the physics project that most groups are done with already. hopefully, it will be a productive one. i shall see about that tomorrow :D

why am i blogging anyway? i don't think anyone knows that i actually updated.

"ATTENTION FRIENDS! SAM HAS UPDATED HER BLOG!"

hold on. how can they see this notice if they don't even see the blog that this notice is on? strange. it's like putting a "we are open" sign at the side of the door that's facing inside, rather than the one that's facing outside.

old habits die hard ;D

LETTUCE-ING

2008-12-04T23:21:00.000+08:00

we had a majorly weird 2 diligence'07 class chalet from december 2nd to december 4th. held at costa sans pasir ris. annabel and i met at 2.30pm, then we made our way there. sorta mixed costa sans downtown with costa sans pasir ris. gahh why's everywhere around that area called costa sans? anyway, we managed to find our way with the help from saun. the place looks like a 1 storey from the ouside, but it's actually a 2 storey. hmm wonder how the architect managed to give that 1 storey illusion. haha ;D

so the chalet went on blah blah... they played xbox and black jack and other funny stuff. i just watched cuz i'm such a good kid :D heehee~ oh and i realised our class people love saying f**k. i heard this one word like over 10 times in a day. woah.

*skips to bbq night*

we had some cool barbeque last night. the guys spent over an hour trying to start a fire. don't know if it's their fault or the charcoal's fault. oh well. barbeque was kinda awesome :D ate crab stick, sausages etc. we even toasted marshmellows. really gooey stuff XD the food was either undercooked or totally chao da-ed. it was like a cancerous paradise that night. haha. sophia, annabel and i (sometimes included bernard) walked around downtown when there was nothing much to do back at the chalet. went home at 12.06am. thanks sophai's dad for fetching me and annabel home! the guys who stayed over went to some red house thingy and someone brought some thingamajig to ward off ghosts. that's super freaky ok.

oh we went to wild wild wet on that day too! it was totally awesome :D had to wear sophia's super mini shorts after that though...

right now, i'm eating a giant ball of lettuce that's meant for tomorrow's breakfast. it's nice ok! really sweet and crunchy :D oh the freshness. hopefully my mum doesn't scold me for eating breakfast so "early".

oh well, now korea trip's over, singout's over and class chalet's over. time to rot at home and be bored again. oh poo. everyday is one more day closer to the big Os! gahh 2009's not gonna be a nice and easy-going year. i envy the sec 1s. well at least i'm older and more experienced than them ;D i'm gonna miss 2 diligence'07 when we graduate from HI D:

i realised that i always end every post with 1 sentence. so this time i shall end it with 2 sentences :D

URGH...

2008-11-27T20:48:00.000+08:00

yo. like i said to some of my choir peeps, life will be so slow after singout. and it is. i practically spent the whole day glued to the computer and facebooking. oh and speaking of facebook, since when did it become such an "in" thing? o.o weird. anyway, it's fun. i was supposed to make my IC 7 hours ago, but there was no one to accompany, so i'm going tomorrow instead (hopefully)! my elders keep telling me not to delay the IC thing, otherwise legal action will be taken and my parents will totally kill me if they have to bail me out from jail. won't that be amusing?

experiencing a severe gender crisis here. i'm a female right? but i got the personality of males. i mean, i don't understand how females can "shop till they drop" but not really dropping on the floor, exhausted. if i were shopping, which by the way is one of the most hated things i'll do, i'll just get bored after half an hour. hold on... guys shop too. oh and i like wearing super baggy shirts and really baggy pants. the usual tight-fitting blouse and mini shorts combo totally ain't my thing. and what's with tank tops? i don't like tops that will show-off my armpits. that's just gross.

DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'M NOT A LES!

ok.

*yawns*

i like eating corn. it makes me happy and ticklish. heehee.

just being random. actually, i'm seriously out of ideas to post. hey, since i'm actually typing something, means that i DO have something to post. reverse psychology is cool.

"can somebody pass me the Fire Armour fire extinguisher?" (chelyn knows what i'm talking about)

samantha is such a common name. bahh.

SINGOUT!

2008-11-26T23:14:00.000+08:00

hello folks! yeah yeah i know it's been ages since i last posted. i'm skipping the korea trip details for now cuz it's really too long, and not because i'm lazy (actually i am lazy too). anyways, today was singout'08 day! and an awesome one it was :D too bad it was the last one.

i shall not talk about the other rehearsal days as they're all pretty much the same as other rehearsals... haha.

today was only our SECOND and FINAL rehearsal at VCH. see? that's the bad thing about going to korea. we didn't have much rehearsal time and everything was all rushed up. well all three schools met for the 1st time just last wednesday (also my birthday). ok back to today. we reached there at like 1.30pm. haha we were the 1st school to reach! yeah finally beat the st gabs people, for once! then we had our warmups and stuff... all the usual.

[skips to 5.45pm]

we had dinns at 5.45pm. it was some chicken thing with sauce, long beans with chilli and tofu. also, there was this slab of chilli on the rice. the funny thing was, they told us not to eat all the chilli stuff (although most ate everything). i, for one, can't really tolerate chilli. so all i ate was the NON-CHILLI stuff (rice and the tofu and ONE piece of chicken). heehee. and let me tell you that the rice was darn filling.

after eating (around 6pm), we rushed off to change, do our hair and makeup. you had to climb a flight of steps to get to our dressing room. the steps were those planky things, and there was only a small space left for our feet to walk when the planks over-lapped. i almost fell! gahh. erika's a super woman when it comes to bunning hair. after changing and makeup-ing, we had only 5 mins left. erika totally bunned for me, with 2 mins to spare! cool right?

all 3 choirs gathered in the hall at 7pm, just before the audience were allowed to come in. we didn't have the usual prayer. instead, we sang "heart of worship" as a prayer to dedicate to God. haha it's quite a novel idea. when the performance started, everything was rush rush rush, dodging in and out of the many folks who were gathered together. the whole concert lasted for 2 hours and 15 mins, but it felt like only an hour. gahh i hate it when time totally flies when you're just starting to have fun. soon, we were down to the last few performances, and after that, everything's OVER.

met brenda, lynette, inglee, juleen, wantian, annabel, clara cher, claudia, clara wong, weiwen, serena, chuanlian, my parents etc after the concert. oh man it was really jammed outside the hall. juleen gave me my birthday present, and wantian, annabel, clara cher, and claudia gave me a tiny bouquet each. they're really sweet, and then i was up to my neck, literally. i felt like a giraffe when i carried all the presents that they gave me. nonetheless, THANK YOU PEEPS! heehee.

D: i never wanted singout to end. in fact, many of us didn't feel that today was our performance day. this post marks the end of singout'08 and singout, generally. this is our last singout. oh man i sure will miss working with the other schools and fooling around with them. the next time we see each other is SYF next year, but i think the odds of meeting them is only 2%. oh how sad. and there's the big 'O's next year, something that i'm absolutely not prepared for.

i'll miss HI choir when i retire next year...

KOREA!!

2008-11-13T09:45:00.000+08:00

hello fellow singaporeans! heehee currently blogging from toyoko inn in busan! ;D sorry if you've been trying to contact me and such. my phone's got no auto-roaming. gahh. so the only way of communicating is through here! haha leave a tag if you wanna say something. today we're gonna go to an elementary school to perform. it's now 10.37am here. something's wrong with this keyboard. ok it's not really wrong, but it's sorta like a japanese keyboard, so i can't find certain keys, for example, brackets and colon. poop. moreover, the spacebar is super duper small and thick! super irritating!

fell sick yesterday, and felt really cold and terrible. was practically chattering at the hongkong airport, and felt like puking at the busan airport. fortunately, i feel much better today, after taking panadol actifast and sponging myself yesterday! hooray for mummy! XD

ok i shall blog more in detail when i get back to singapore.

people i miss back home are...
1. family
2. 7ahs
3. N425

love you guys!

p.s i can't publish my post at 10.45 cuz it's supposed to be 9.45, but it's still 10.45 now. quite confusing but good for you if you can get it ;D

STUFFS

2008-11-06T22:01:00.000+08:00

hello. since i've got nothing specific to blog about, i shall blog about random stuff which are coming up, so it is still kinda specific... i guess. oh whatever.

my korea trip's coming up! 6 days ok... the more i think about it, the more i don't feel like leaving singapore. maybe it's cuz i'll miss my family, friends etc. and i guess i'll be totally DOWNdated (opposite of updated) when i come back. i shall hire somebody to update me on all the happenings.

singout's coming too! whee! XD it's gonna be my last singout. sold 7 tickets (i think) or so. that's not bad. sales are great! ms yee expects 770/800 seats to be filled. that's an awful lot of folks coming o.o choir practices have been intense these few days. there are a lot of dancing stuff, that takes up 3 hours of choir (1 song takes 1 hour if there are mistakes). nonetheless, the overall feeling of the singout performance is always satisfying. this will be my last singout D: oh man... hopefully the sec 2s and 1s don't throw our choir reputation away. what's built in 10 years can be destroyed in 10 seconds. how scary's that?

debate's tomorrow *shudders* seems like eveyone i know is totally chionging for the debate stuff. i've just done my script (that's why i blogged). hopefully our group can go through this debate successfully. we don't have to win it, we just have to do our best :D

oh yeah my big toe on my left foot's got a bruise... and it's under my toenail. at first, i didn't know what it was. went to ask my mum and she said, "oh no your toe is rotting!" even though i knew she was joking, i was quite worried. then i asked my dad. he said, "gosh sam you gotta fungus infection!" sam was scared (x2) then i said, "how can fungus be blue and red?" then my mum thought it was a stain and asked me to file my nail. i ended up shining my nail too! but it was still there... o.o upon closer inspection by dad, it turned out to be a bruise. maybe i got it when i was blading at bishan park? actually if you are in my class and you noticed, i will remove my sock and show it to the world! i think it's quite cool ;D

exactly 10.01pm :D

NEW URL

2008-11-01T00:11:00.001+08:00

no particular for changing url. it's just for fun ;D
so don't ask what's the difference in blogskin, coding etc.
most people change url after they've given a totally fresh new look with their own blogs.
FYI, "most" doesn't mean "all".
i just think that i stuck with my other url a little too long.
so would you please relink?
sorry for the darn trouble and mafan! :D

hello.

my birthday's in 18 days!

FREAKY DAY

2008-10-31T23:01:00.000+08:00

yesterday was a darn freaky day. made my way to school for november program as usual. this old lady came to me as i tapped out from hougang station and asked me to take a Today paper for her. in my head i was thinking "why can't she get it herself?" anyways, being a good kid :D, i went up the escalator and proceeded to the newspaper auntie. she gave me one paper, and when i was about to leave, she asked, "who's this for? you? or the old lady?" it felt strange, like the feeling you get when you think you're being punk'D. i just said that the paper was for the old lady, with a seriously blur look (cuz i REALLY didn't know what was going on). to my surprise, she suddenly snatched the paper from my hand and scolded me! something like, "NO NO NO! YOU CANNOT TAKE FOR HER! SHE ALWAYS TAKE TWO!" then she kinda chased me out of her sight o.o the old lady was at the corner with her friend. when she saw what happened, she scolded me too! something like, "WHY YOU TELL HER THE PAPER'S FOR ME? YOU SHOULD'VE SAID THAT IT WAS FOR YOURSELF. AIYO!" then i was like, "oh" and i walked off. i mean, how was i supposed to know that the old lady was banned from taking newspapers, so she asked other people to take for her instead? fancy getting scolded byt 2 totally unknown people, and so early in the morning?! such a weird day...

it's a short post ;D

ONE POST!

2008-10-29T23:11:00.000+08:00

hello once again. i realised that i don't really blog mucn now. maybe it's caused by the computer ban during exam period. oh gahh. hmm where shall i start?

went for service on sunday. it was pretty funny, although some parts made me wanna fall asleep. i like the worship songs :D quite cool. then after service, went to eat at j8 before heading towards bishan park to blade. i guess it's been a long time since i last bladed, because i couldn't really stand up at first o.o slowly, i got used to it and could sorta "whee!~" here and there. i don't see how those guys can brake at the grass... everytime i tried, i would fall forward and land on my hands, making them muddy ==

nicholas and junming had some trouble starting off, but after putting in loads of effort (and falling down lots), they did it! hooray for the both of them! haha XD oh yes and there was this slope that was somehow quite steep, with red bamboo growing at the side of it. me, zhengwei and jianhui went down that slope, and i fell on my bum while trying to brake. darn it they were laughing at me! it was really painful lo! the BEST part was that i landed in mud, with ants crawling there, so i probably squished some ants. poor ants D: got some mud on my shirt too, cuz of my muddy hands. btw i got 9 mozzie bites on my legs and some on my hands. i could actually see the mozzies (about 3) sucking blood from me, and not letting go. grrr...

had dinner at my grandparent's place. mummy asked why my shirt was dirty and i told her about the falling down thingy zzz... then she asked why i was wearing white, and i said that she told me to, cuz it's true.

MUM: wah why your shirt so dirty?

SAM: (explains the falling down thing...)

MUM: who ask you wear white?

SAM: you did. i wanted to wear dark blue but you say white is better.

MUM: i didn't say "WHITE" colour. i said "LIGHT" colour.

SAM: won't make much diff, cuz the mud can still be seen mah.

MUM: haiyo.

yep this was the actual convo with my mum o.o

and there's more...

2008-10-29T21:10:00.000+08:00

the 2nd part of the post! (it will be way too long if i put all together)

went out with jingyi and claudia on deepavali! clara recommended this thai eating place at shaw tower. who knew? it was CLOSED when we were there. gahh. then there was this door that was supposed to lead us to suntec. claudia opened it and the inside was quite freaky, like a good murder place. so, we ran through the thing and found ourselves outside shaw tower. it was like "huhh?" then we walked to suntec. spent around 1/2 our trying to decide where to eat. finally we decided to eat at pizza hut. the food's darn good, and the ambience is perfect for a romantic dinner ;D we saw this man who looked like mr clausie! heehee that pointy hat plus unshaven beard plus pot belly combo looks just right on him :)

after that, we went shopping! claudia and jingyi bought tights from cotton on. i bought shoes from bata (cuz that's here you buy footwear duh!) we didn't really go anywhere else as it was raining that day. poop. and it wasn't properly planned, so we had totally no idea what to do except shop. can you believe a non-shopper like me actually shopping? that only happens if all of us are in dire situations. ok back to the story. we bought a stuffed elephant for clara! her birthday's coming up soon! XD oh we also had trouble deciding between a $9.95 one and a $12.95 one zZz... the result of having all decision-makers pangse-ing us to go to hk.

went off to plaza sing for a change of scenery. actually we didn't do much at plaza sing, just hung around at mos burger while checking out their really cool cup designs. left for home at around 6.10pm.

and yet, there's more...

2008-10-29T20:28:00.002+08:00

the last part for today! i shall talk about the november program then.

this is the 2nd day of the november program. believe it, i was late, again. woke up at a freaking 7.18am today! totally freaked out this morning. and i reached school at 7.46am. had lessons as usual. quite boring i guess, but ms zahila's gonna make us play a game tomorrow. cool :D

backtracking to 28/10...

yesterday was jasmine and sophia's birthday! haha HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! you 2 are finally 15, but i'm still 14. oh man... mrs nathan brought deepavali snacks for us. i ate till i was really full. urhhhh... and i thought that was the end of it. turns out, junan bought a birthday cake for jasmine. all the music people (plus ian and yonglin) celebrated jasmine's birthday. and jasmine had a disgusting way of cutting the cake. it looked really gross, but i still had to eat it, despite my darn full stomach.

then we had music. went through paper and learnt about some asian drumming thing. quite cool to listen to all the beats and stuff. i know people like fengye won't gettit... haha kidding! XD after music, fion was supposed to go for her flu jab, but she was quite nervous and asked me to jab it with her. i did. it was a very interesting feeling. quite a nice one. the doctor's office has this penis erection hard-o-meter. there was a peeled banana, a normal banana and a cucumber, and they asked how hard is yours if it was erected. haha! if i could take a pic, i will. that's not something you see at your regular doctor's office eh? hee.

right now, my sis asked me to sign a "contract" that she came up with. it lists all the commitments of getting a PSP. wonder if she'll live up to that. our previous GB and NDS commitments totally backfired. now we're talking PSP! sis is gonna use ALL her angbao money, while the remaining will be paid by dad. she's so macho about that. haha. ok it's contract signing time. blog another time!

and there's no more.

SHOWDOWN

2008-10-18T22:26:00.000+08:00

heehee hello folks! welcome me back! woo! today we had showdown at palawan beach, sentosa. it was really quite fun, but super duper uber messy and dirty.

first we started out by meeting doreen and jianhui at harbourfront station. doreen has a strange way of giving directions. "turn 180 degrees and walk..." haha :D then we introduced the rest and we went up the monorail to get to sentosa. finally reached palawan beach to meet up with clara. that was around 10am or something. palawan is a really awesome beach! we all took off our shoes and played in the water! those darn guys kept throwing stuff at us. these include seaweed, rocks, gardenia plastic filled with water and some giant coconut. we girls just wanted to soak in the atmosphere of that place, but we ended up "battling" with the guys. they're mean.

so, the event finally started at 11am. we played this ice breaker called "kou xiang tang". they made us do weird poses e.g head touch something green, nose touch someone else's armpit etc. i think the most impossible one is where we had to put 10 noses together. this proves that we all got big heads o.o the event planners also taught us the "dead cockroach" and "hamburger". i'm always one at the bottom, which is super uncomfortable D:

the next game was the telematch. we had to finish a bar of soap by rubbing it on ourselves. they said that we could use the seawater to wet ourselves. some people ended up bathing in the sea, which is sooooo NOT being green. they're polluting the water you know, and that's just wrong. the soap was impossible to finish... the second part was that we were supposed to spread a tin of wax on ourselves, then sprinkle some prickly heat powder. only the guys used the wax, and jingyi was sprinkling the powder like we were dancing at a party. then we had to roll to the next part, which is to pick up mentos floating in ketchup. the thing was that we had to pick them up with our mouths. urhh... so by the time we finished the race, we were sticky, powdery and sandy. but i felt an oddly strange happy feeling ;D

the next part of the showdown was some captains ball game. it was all teams versus each other... which i must say was pretty chaotic. there were beach balls, bananas and cabbages. let me just announce that i got splat by the banana. haha. and people [includes me] were picking up cabage leaves from the ground to throw to our catcher. that counts too. heehee. then there was a mystery item, which turned out to be a raw chicken. it was funny seeing the chicken flying through the air :)

the last game was this battle game [something like dawn of war]. the main objective was to burst other team's flag with water bombs, while protecting your own flag. each team made a vanguard flag and stuck it into the ground, while others went to collect water for the water bomb. i think our team was "innovative", as annabel had the idea of putting zhengwei's slippers between our flag so that it will raise the CG and prevent it from falling blah blah... [our flag was folded in half you see] then all the defenders got into position by sitting around the flag and blocking it to the extent of not even being able to see it. when the game started, some teams came and bombarded us with their bombs, so we got kinda wet. then the game masters sprinkled powder on us, which made us spotty. in the end, our flag managed to stay quite dry, although we looked like survivors of the world's largest bakery explosion.

after the whole event, we went to bathe. then, we went back via monorail and i went for my music lesson [i was half an hour late]. lucky teacher was already doing theory with another student, so she didn't have to wait for me. had music all the way till 5pm. came home, rinsed my clothes, bathed, and went for steamboat.

right now, i'm so darn tired... zzz. seriously. oh yeah forgot to mention that bathing was torture because i have some blisters and abrasions on my feet, so even walking is hard. i look like some constipated penguin. oh well.

i'm a darn tasty roasted chicken ;D

HAHH

2008-10-11T19:41:00.003+08:00

sam's back again! haha. finally there's something to blog about.

ok yesterday i went for duty for the sec 4 greduation ceremony. coincidentally met shiqi and gang at hougang mall, then we went to school together. reached school at around 5.15pm and did duty till around 8.30pm. that means 3 hours plus of ushering parents, father quek, ms soh and ms ng [only zhiyu and i]. really busy and stuff. oh and yihong gave some speech thingy. i can already imagine russell doing the same thing. haha. father quek's speech made me a little emo, with all the students hugging students/teachers/parents. i was thinking about how i'll be hugging 7ahs/other 3 hummers/teachers/mum + dad.

enough about that. after the ceremony, i received an sms from mum saying that dad has booked some chalet at pasir ris. i was like super duper tired when i reached home. didn't feel like going, but no choice. it was a long ride there. and i tell you, the place looks really freaky at night. it's like those kinda haunted mansions. but anyway, it looks real good when you turn on the lights XD haha. pokemon-ed till around 12.15am, then went off to dreamland. left dreamland at a freaking 6am! my whole house was awake already. what's up with waking on a saturday morning at 6am?! anyway, i felt super awake. ate macs for breakfast, then went to play at pasir ris park! one of the best places! everything was totally mobile. packed up at 12pm.

p.s lame people do lame things.

REVIVED

2008-10-10T11:48:00.000+08:00

CHURCH

2008-08-25T20:51:00.000+08:00

went to church with zhengwei, jianming and zhongming yesterday. jianming and zhongming were crapping all the way lah. don't know what they trying to talk about XD was quite a long way to the expo. the place was super huge and noisy. church service was quite fun cuz of all the rocking worship songs :D i sang ok? then there was this creepy part when some pastor was "purifying" some other pastor. seemed like he was being exorcised instead. the whole place was filled with this chant thingy that i can't get. it's like black magic o.o there was also the SOT graduation. over 200 names being announced. imagine how tired the pastor's arms are after the whole ceremony! haha.

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

EAST COAST PARK

2008-08-21T21:23:00.011+08:00

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)!

FEELINGS LIKE ROJAK

2008-08-20T20:02:00.000+08:00

hi blog! heehee~ ok i haven't been posting for quite some time [actually it's just 3 days]. but, whatever. wow so many highlights to blog about. where shall i start?

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

BORING SUNDAY

2008-08-17T18:45:00.000+08:00

i have decided to ask keith or korkor rynel to help me find a penpal. told annabel about it and she wants 1 too. my mum said there was this magazine called StudentPal. This magazine has a section that features many names of other people overseas and their addresses. all you have to do is pick one and send a letter to him/her, and BOOM! a penpalship is formed. how i wish this mag still existed now. how convenient. i told my mum, "maybe penpals will be IN again. i mean, rubik cubes and skinny jeans did stage a comeback right?" yes we gotta be positive in our thinking.

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.

A TITLE

2008-08-15T21:15:00.000+08:00

yes i'm confirmed on my future career as a travelling photographer. it's dumb and boring to get a job in singapore. well at least i'm going to korea in november this year. that's a fresh start. i'll take many photos during the tour. flying is nice :)

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.

YOU ASSHOLE

2008-08-14T21:21:00.000+08:00

this really sucks. that idiotic yanxu borrowed my class plan and said, "it's actually ok, but i make A FEW changes." i was like, "ok anything." who knew? that bastard changed almost everything on the list! he even put me with yoongaunn and zhongming at the 4th row! is he nuts or dumb? i'm so short and he puts me there. my list was almost lost too. darn it. super pissed at him for changing the plan so much and not informing me about it. he said many people don't support my idea, but when i asked them, many of them had not seen it yet. o now i'm really gonna get coronary heart disease.

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*]

DEPRESSED

2008-08-13T22:37:00.000+08:00

i feel so down now. i think i'll eventually get coronary heart disease cuz of STRESS! D:

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 :)

AIYO

2008-08-12T17:37:00.000+08:00

omg i'm doing chemistry now. ms zahila scolded those who did not pass up chemistry holiday homework today. oh great, so many questions D: waiting for annabel/claudia's reply, so i'm making use of his time to blog :)

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*

NDP

2008-08-10T14:16:00.004+08:00

me with my satay plate!

hello folks. as some of you know, i privated my blog. that ``` whoever sorta scolded me. she's so lame o.o anyway now it's privated, she can't enter. for those who can access, congratulations. you're one of the many people i can trust. for those who can't, either i don't know your email or i don't feel comfortable with you viewing my blog.

what's wrong with 3hum in changing seats? why is everyone so against it? i'm so not gonna sit where i am now for another year and just rot there. well i planned another one. this time, it looks pretty much the same, just that the 7ahs are kinda separated. what sacrifice. hurrah.

beijing olympics just started. so far i haven't seen the singapore team competing in any events. the US people keep winning. oh shucks. heehee i support korea, japan and other random countries like zimbabwe too! i think africa is good. missed both telecasts of the olympics opening. mummy and sis said it was nice and really grand :)

there was national day celebration in school on friday. choir leaders sprayed red hair colour and glitter on us. luckily we had a choice whether we wanted it or not. most of the seniors said "no". based on past experiences, it makes your sweat and bathing water turn red. quite freaky eh. when we went on stage [always the finale item]... nothing much happened. the audience was so dull. not so much fun as compared to previous years national day celebration. only the UG and the performers had the energy in them. gahh what boredom.

met annabel after the celebration. we went home together to get ready for the "class" outing [less than 15 people showed up] to watch The Mummy Returns. that show was a bit out of point. the starting bit was boring. then suddenly from chinese scene, it became ang moh scene. then another part where qin shi huang [jet li] entered the fountain of eternal youth and turned into a 3-headed dragon! reminded me of harry potter/eragon. then there were some funny looking skeletons and yetis.

oh before the movie, they showed a trailer [it was just a TRAILER, not the real movie] of some thai horror movie. omg it was super duper scary. i jumped at one part. claudia used her bag to cover her face. annabel and i used our hands. the guys didn't flinch at all. oh what actors. jason came to watch the movie with us. now i know what his voice sounds like! teehee~

had some satay party at my grandparents' place yesterday. also watched the NDP live telecast on tv. my sis kept saying that lee kwan yew, lee hsien loong and goh chok tong looked really sick o.o well lee kwan yew just flew in from beijing. he must be tired. the show was kinda cool, but i guess being part of it would be much more cool. we kept running in and out of the house to watch the jets fly past. satay was delicious! so was the rice thing, fish, mushroom etc. had one heck of a dinner yesterday. also, there was the premiere of Calefare and First Class. funny shows i must say. my cousins kept laughing! :D

so bored at home. sis and bro at grandparents' house for lunch and parents at ikea looking for curtains to replace my torn drapes. and to think i don't even use them?! XD strange. just figured out that i can upload pictures from my phone to here!

toodles!

RANDOM PICTURES

SERIOUSLY

hello hello i'm back! just blogging for fun, more like for the sake of... well... blogging! heehee i'm lame.

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

OUT OF WORDS

2008-08-04T20:00:00.001+08:00

had A maths common test today. asked inglee during recess how it was. she said it was pretty easy. yep it was easier compared to the other class tests mrs nathan gives. the only problem is that all my answers are different when i compare with other people after the test! it's already been confirmed that my last question answer and part of my first question answer are wrong. gosh i sound like some sort of reporter or something. well at least there'll be some method marks. hopefully, i won't fail this time round :D wowee suddenly i'm becoming so optimistic!

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

TODAY

2008-08-01T23:43:00.010+08:00

today we had E maths common test. guess what? it wasn't as bad as i thought! wee!~ there's a possibility i'm gonna score full marks! haha my first time scoring full marks for a common test. then had recess and english compo writing blah blah... shan't elaborate on that.

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.

stress:

the confusion created when one's mind overrides the body's basic desire to choke the living shit out of some asshole who desperately deserves it.

another pretty messed up day.

this morning, shize bought me a mineral water, so i drank and drank and drank from 7am to 7.25am, then from 7.40am to 7.50am [there was assembly halfway lah]. claudia helped me drink too! the bottle's for some bio alternative mode of assessment thingy. oh phooey :( well anyway, was damn full and had to go pee at around 8.15am. felt so much better after answering nature's call. kidneys will spoil if you hold your business, so yeah.

then had lessons as usual. oh and i FAILED my A maths test... again! so saddening! DX this means that i gotta work hard and pray i do well for the E maths common test tomorrow and the A maths common test next week. oh darn it.

then during chinese, cheng lao shi changed our sitting arrangement to 3 by 3. omg i'm three-ing with kaiyang and kenneth! those 2 pathetic people. so unfair! even clara's threesome is so much better than mine D: kenneth doesn't even know how to draw a star?! it ended up looking like a messed up rectangle. cheng lao shi said that this grouping also applies to groupwork. like wth i can't work with them! kept thinking about it throughout the lesson. got so stressed up that i cried in class. for those who know, ok. for those who don't, now you do. i was thinking that i won't have to work with them again after the debate. but who knew? annabel and gang wanna ask cheng lao shi to reshuffle. i was thinking that it will be quite troublesome, not to mention the fact that it's unfair to other people. i mean i don't mind sitting next to them, but when it comes to groupwork, let's just say i'd rather be a maestro.

turns out jingyi [ahLOW] didn't sign up for the hongkong twinning trip either.

nothing's going right for me.

WHATEVER

2008-07-29T19:13:00.001+08:00

last night i told myself, "ok i shall cut my nails for tomorrow's practical tomorrow morning." yes i did cut my nails this morning, but i forgot WHY i did that. therefore, i didn't bring my books to play for mrs tay. ooh that rhymes! haha i'm dumb :D actually, junan didn't bring his books too! but he had to play because aiqi brought her books. idiot :) ok just kidding. in the end, everyone played except for me! i gotta play 2 songs next week D:

the music room aircon wasn't really working too. kinda MAD if you ask me o.o they kept switcing between "on" and "off". the sound was kinda irritating. mrs tay kept asking if we still could breathe. slowly, the filth of our socks engulfed the room. it was like a poison gas chamber that hitler used *bleuch* and somehow, jasmine and fion laughed a lot today. don't know why. must be the socks ;D

hmm let me backtrack till just after english lesson. the whole class [including those who weren't involved in tuesday CIP] had to stay back with mrs nathan. she was so happy because she said that finally there's a chance for her to punish us by making us stay back! that's like so mean of her! received an sms from my mum: doctor found 2 ants in mei's ears. use water and syringe to squirt it out. i felt so squirmish! just knew that the cause of her fever was not from these ants. my sis said that the doctor used a SUPER GIANT syringe to spray water into her ears. and the end bit of the syringe was huge. you could see the hole. haha that's strange, but yeah quite interesting. POSTING THIS BIT FOR CLARA'S SAKE! clara, now you know why i went "eeeeeee!!"

i'm so sad D: my maths [both A and E] seem to be failing like... FAILING! the recent A maths test, i got 6/22. there's another one where i got 3/20, and another one where i got 12/25. omg i'm totally dropping! kinda stressed about results now. gotta buck up!

can someone be my motivator?

AGAIN

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

ok this blogskin's final. i spent about 4 hours searching. haha now i know more about the html code. at first, i asked annabel but she didn't reply. i started freaking out, then i decided, "nevermind i shall try it myself." experimented a little before understanding the thing. yay i'm such a genius! but i gotta thank annabel for NOT replying me. teehee :D

goondoo lah... i lost all my birthday dates and links, so i spent another hour blog-hopping and adding. haiyo it was so tedious. but anyway, i did it.

PLEASE TELL ME IF I LEFT OUT YOUR LINK OR BIRTHDAY CUZ I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! D:

nothing more to say.
