Chinese AO
Today was Chinese AO paper, and I went to school myself! Haha, I know it's not some big announcement but my dad went overseas so I gotta go there myself. Discovered that so many people stayed at Kembangan, and it only took about forty minutes from my house to school.
The paper was quite tough. I only know a few meanings of the MCQs and those first 5 words -as usual - are blank. My essay was also crap, too short, I think. While others were busy writing, I was like staring at things around me, like how come the invigilator walk so niang one?
Stayed back for Math and had lunch in school. Stayed back even further for PW. Of course, during PW in the library, we were discussing the many loopholes in our project and were playing the beverage game from http://www.maggiemarket.com. I suggest those reading to try it, it's really addictive. Although you may think it's kinda childish. In any case, it's Shi Zhen's recommendation.
Anyway, I went over to my Big Aunt's place at Geylang Bahru on Saturday. She treated my family to the very delicious fish 'n' chips! Yummy! It's really nice and the sauce was like a mixture of lemon, mayo and some other special ingredient. You guys should try it.
PS. It's kinda expensive, but once in a while, it's alright?
Lots of holidays coming up, and seeing those cake adverts on TV (eg, Kraft Kitchens), I feel like eating one... but it's rather sinful so I guess I'll control.
Well, this holiday's not for playing (though you can squeeze in time to do so) and there's loads of homework to be done!
Ganbatte, everyone!

Two's Company
Was kinda happy in the morning, almost our whole class turned up in our navy-blue class jersey. Then, someone said 'you're not supposed to wear your class jersey during PE lessons'. Such things dampens our spirits, man. Our teacher was absent and in the end, the rest of us girls played captain's ball with an lau-hong ball. But it's quite fun, first time can grab a ball with one hand. However, I think that was the most unfit game of all times. Within a few minutes into the game, almost all of us were panting... and after one long break, all of us were practically walking while playing. Very slack indeed.
Physics lecture was damn boring, with less than half attendance. Almost fell asleep while writing. Then we got back our result slip, lucky no need parent's signature... but my mom's so smart, she'll surely ask for it without any reminders...
Had lunch outside and when Yin Chieh, Shi Zhen, Yan Bing and I returned, almost the whole class vanished from the face of Earth. In the end, my GP lesson only have Miss Ong, Shi Zhen and I. Three people only, very much like private tuition. Really, I don't know what to say of such behaviours... it's their choice.
Went home and was dead beat. I couldn't even gather enough strength to switch on the computer so I slept till about seven plus. Then saw lots of propaganda from Vanessa, and still gotta send those reminder messages to my classmates. Second last day of school but the heavy workload have only just began.
God bless my holidays.

Another Personality Test
Chanced upon this test while viewing Joy's blog - http://www.perex.com/ - and I took it out of sheer curiousity.
The initial stats were quite suspicious, with them saying that I was 'very intelligent' and 'definitely good looking'... very 'accurate'.
However, the later analysis turn out to be quite accurate; gave me those answers that depict my personality - dependable, humble, unassuming, quiet, prefers not to make waves or attract too much attention... and from what I saw, I make quite a good parent! Haha, that will have to wait maybe 10 years? Who knows?!?!Labels: quizzes

Un-nerving
Had our dry run today. Was adequately prepared, I think, did my script last night and it should be able to last me for 5 minutes. Since we were the last group of the morning shift, we were the audience for the first 2 groups. Rather nerve-wrecking, I would say. Some of their powerpoints were so nice and then, there were some good speakers.
When it was nearing our turn, Shi Zhen and I were getting very cold feet outside!! Truckloads of butterflies seem to be filling my stomach! When we finally started, I was feeling quite okay until it was my turn!!! Gosh, I didn't really how nervous I was until I saw my script shaking in my hand!! Thinking that probably my right hand was too nervous, I switched to my left... only to see a stronger vibration of the poor piece of paper! Shit man, my voice started to tremble too. You know when you try not to think you're nervous but the surroundings (like my shaking arms) start to show signs of nervousness and you start getting extra-nervous? Well, I guess that happened to me. Eye contact wise, I think I made an okay job, better than my previous presentations, maybe my class wasn't that intimidating after all. Haha. In the end, the teacher just said I was too soft, and we need to improvise our presentation, not so plain!!
Went home early and took a real long afternoon nap. Haven't been sleeping for the past few afternoons as we were all busy doing our OP. Now that the dry run is over, we gotta change some of the stuff and probably rehearse a little bit more? Maybe I should project my voice more, practice at home, and everywhere else...
Maurice just informed me of Com Club Camp coming November... wonder should I attend it or not? Seems quite fun to go back to see all my juniors while it means that I'm getting older!! I guess that will have to see who's going and my schedule then.
Getting our result slips tomorrow, even though I know my results, BUT that means I'm gonna have to give it to my mom to sign!! *gasps in horror* Sigh, what a fruitful holiday I'm gonna have.Labels: school

Cold Sweat
Phew, our group's OP finally completed at almost 1800hrs today. What a chore, man.
Shi Zhen and I had to walk many rounds around the school just to find a working computer with an internet connection. When we finally got one, minutes later, one teacher walked in. Guess who? Mr Charles Reynolds! We both got shocked stiff and we left to borrow Kenny' laptop. Fiddled with the laptop for a while before finding a wire to connect to the school's connection.
No PE today because the teacher allowed us to do PW! So nice! No Econs and GP later too... teachers involved in OP. Took an extremely long break where Yin Chieh, Shi Zhen, Yan Bing and I took drumstick rice... we practically chomped off the drumsticks from the chicken rice stall. The guy queueing behind us was quite disappointed at the lack of drumsticks.
Went to J block then back to library to finish up our OP. We walked miles in the school just for OP!! Then Van came to library, and started promoting some guy to me. Sigh... she trying to divert my attention from the vfishy situation there. Sitting between them, I can sense the tension and lots of embarrassment there... so exciting... =P
Gotta do my homework and work on my script now. See ya~!Labels: school

Presence
Yes! We finally got our class jersey today. Although there were some unhappiness and probably some black faces when some received their jerseys. The numbers and the names didn't come out as expected, as in, someone actually doctored the information on the list, and some discrepancies resulted. I guess it'll boil down soon.
Today's Math was damn scary. Shi Zhen, Yin Chieh and I were constantly being shot questions by Miss Wong. It's like we're bouncing this ball between the three of us, whoever gets to take the ball answers the questions. So tiring.
Managed to exchange 'important information' with Izzulwan before I went to do my OP. Haha, I think we've lots of catching up to do!!
Stayed back to our OP. Left only 2 days and we've only just started! Stayed in the J block and did our project for about 3 hours. Chatted and joked while we did our OP and I was thinking that maybe our group isn't that bad afterall. I love my group... but I don't love PW!!
There's AO Chinese in less than one week and I haven't started anything!! Funny thing why I don't feel that panicky.
And, I discovered something vfishy !Labels: school

Fickle-Minded Me?
It's an irony sometimes that you spent time waiting for something to happen, yet when it happens, you don't want it anymore.
Take the Sony Ericsson Z520i. I've been lusting for it for like months, since I chanced upon it on the website. Even when Van told me SE phones lag, I also didn't mind. I was just waiting for the third quarter (where they said it would be released) to come and for my promos to end (after the third quarter where I have the mood to buy the phone).
However, when it finally came out, I realized I didn't want it anymore. Maybe it's because I read a review about how low its screen resolution was.
Now, when I read its reviews on the local media, see the phone at those phone shops or just the advertisement itself could make me wonder why have I been waiting. Maybe that review came too late, I should have channelled my energy and focus on other up-and-coming better phone models.
I guess it applies to every other matter at hand as well. People, things, that you wait for... You anticipate and wait, yet when it's finally yours, you lose the interest in it. Is it not the case that Man is more interested in the chase than the catch? Or is it that Man's just that fickle-minded?

The Big Bad Bruise
Gosh, I was so busy finishing the last few discs of Pride that I forgot about blogging. Finally completed the series and I felt so good, after all, I think it's a pretty nice show.
Anyway, we had touch rugby for SPE yesterday and I wonder if it was the best workout in months... Had been missing many lessons over the weeks and I kind of forgot my bearings. First game, when I was about to 'touch' other people, my right knee banged head-on with another girl's. OUCH! It resulted in a very red and very big bruise. I can't really cross my legs now. Then, during the last game, when I caught hold of the rugby ball, before I could even run, I slipped. Maybe it was embarrassing, but I thought the grass left an itchy stain on me. Eeew...
This morning, I woke up with aches all over me. Probably due to the vigourous workout after a month's break. Got our results back this morning, after Mr. Liew's speech. Our whole class's promoted! With 5 advanced. I guess the school was quite lenient and very kind to all of us, and probably only the very extreme cases got retained. Thank God 05S24's still together.
TPJC Open House today. I think it receive a lukewarm response. I don't think that most of the people in TPJC now actually wanted to be in there. But it will be nice to have juniors I know in TPJC, sort of brings back that Damai feel...
Now, I just want to complete our Oral Presentation (OP) and maybe study bits of Chinese (but, study what?)...Labels: tv

Solitaire
Well well, I have no school today so I spent my entire day slacking. I watched Pride in the morning till about 11am. I'm only halfway done and there's like a long, long queue behind me. Oops.
Went out to watch Corpse Bride. I'll give it 3/5 stars. I guess I watched it because of the hardwork that went behind the creation of this film. Did you know that the characters were made from mould, not CGI effects? It took years to make it! Also, I really like the Johnny Depp and Tim Burton collaboration (think: Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory etc.). And my eyes got watery at the ending part of the film, because of the sacrifice Victoria made... but tears didn't really flow out, I guess it's probably due to the short duration of the film, which left me pretty little time to absorb the characters completely.
Got to do some mini shopping. Then I went to watch The Skeleton Key. I'll give it 4/5 stars and it stars Kate Hudson. Well, in the beginning, I thought it was rather scary with shaking doorknobs, shadows and shocking appearances. But towards the end, I broke out of the scare and really marvelled at the ending twist. It's been some time since a movie left me thinking in the bus.
Nice shows, must watch them, okay?Labels: movies

Bewildered
Today was quite a short day. Had PW in the morning and realized we still got to brush up a little more on our WR. Within 2 days! Later, we had PE in the Gym. Our teacher came in late and gave us a little pep talk on JC, promos and JC2. Went to Econs 20 minutes late, luckily it wasn't Mr. Larry Lim or else we'd surely get quite a verbal thrashing.
Went home shortly after GP mass lecture. Watched almost 3 out of 8 discs of Pride. Must really speed up, cos it's real HOT! Loads of people are waiting behind me just to get their hands and eyes on Pride!! Takuya Kimura - candylicious!!
By the way, Yin Chieh and I have discovered a new hottie in town!! While we watched Four Brothers last week, our eyes settled on cutie little bro, Jack Mercer. His real name is Garrett Hedlund, 21 years old and has also acted in Troy as Achilles' (Brad Pitt) cousin, Patroclus. But the sad thing is, he died real pathetically in both shows. So much blood.
Well, there's no school tomorrow. Promotional Day. Pray very hard that whole class can promote. Meanwhile, I gotta do my PW research and stay tune to watch Tiramisu on Channel 5. I think it's gonna be a real nice show. Plus, Gof doesn't look too bad. Hmm... what's with guys with Thai blood? Utt and Gof, and maybe some others I do not know of.... Oooh...
Signing off now, till then.Labels: hunks, movies, school, tv

Deception Point
Wow, this whole weekend, I spent my time reading Dan Brown's Deception Point. A really intriguing book, I must say. The author had me tricked and deceived so many times, I thought my brains were not working! Seriously, I think it's a good read because of so many facts and information involved and the amount of grey matter used to decipher the lies and deceit held within. This books marks the end of my reading of the 4 Dan Brown books - Yippee!!
Got to check our final results today and I must say I'm quite disappointed with myself. I wonder what I have been doing for the past year. Now, I only hope our class will remain intact and promote together. Ah, what the future holds for us is unknown...
Got into a semi-depressed mood today and something I heard of lit me up. But thinking of past experiences and encounters, I think I may have been tricked again. That's why I think solitude is the best.Labels: books, school

Three Dimensional
I don't know what to make of my results. It's as lousy as it can get yet some people would consider me lucky. I too consider myself as lucky too, although I feel kind of shortchanged when people that didn't study as much can get so wonderful results (it's fate...). Congrats to those that scored A's in their score sheet. *applauds*
Oh, we met Connie on the wat to Tampines MRT - when was the last time we saw each other? Haha, she still likes to sleep and apparently MJC set a rather easy Math paper. So envious.
Went to Queensway today to get our class jersey. I guess it was a tough decision to make, with so many shops, so many brands and so many colours to choose from. We finally settled on one brand that nobody in our class chose and a colour that's rather common but as least the fit's nice and all. Went off to eat the "Katong Spoon Laksa" with Yin Chieh and Shi Zhen. Kind of rushed back just to reach home before 1930hrs for that show on Channel U.
Feel so tired now, I just hope to finish that wee bit of dinner and watching tv so that I can prepare to take off to dreamland.
P.S. Van, I don't know what to make of our bet but I have a feeling that it may work out. You are not a substitute. You and her are completely un-related goods.Labels: school

When Shit Happens, It Happens.
The time has come to reap the rotten fruits of my lousy labour.
Half of my promo results are back and it wasn't easy to swallow down that first gulp of shock in the morning. Physics. I knew the paper was a horror, a terror, a disaster - whatever you called it - but I expected something a little better than what I got. Math was better than Physics but it still sucked. How come everyone improves from their Common Tests and I'm the other way round? Still kinda handling the shock - how am I gonna break this to my mom? Once it's out, there will be a complete ban on all the things I consider enjoyable - television, computer, handphone, radio, movies etc. That's like worst that grounding me.
Went out with my class after school. Skipped Photography meeting after getting my five-month-old $10.50 - I didn't forget about that all this while. We managed to sneak out by the other gate while the assistant discipline master was guarding the other. Strange school system they have - never guard both sides of the gate. Had a quick bite before deciding to watch GOAL! - a movie which I'll give 4/5 stars, for its wonderful football tricks, storyline, human element and for bringing that beacon of hope to those that watched the movie. Except that sometimes, one doesn't get that many chances at something.
Next, decided on an impromptu movie marathon with Four Brothers. I think I'll give it a 3/5 stars. The storyline is okay, full of explicit language and blood, many unexpected twist and turns at the end of the story. The moral of the story? Don't do bad things.
Went home after that and I saw Kar Koon at my grandma's house's bus stop. Surprise surprise. When was the last time I saw him? He recognized me, unlike someone I saw on another occasion, completely ignored me when I waved to that person. Sigh.
Tomorrow will decide if I can make it, to next year, that is. God bless and I need all the luck I need. Thanks to everyone who have showed their concern in one way or the other. Thank you.
P.S. Van, I know the him you're talking about. =PLabels: movies, school

PW Blues
First day of the week and there's no school!! Spent the morning watching VCDs (again) and went to pack some of my stuff. Realized that I've been keeping so much junk!! Rag-and-bone woman?
Went back to school to do PW WR. Headache. So much to do yet so little time. I guess we've all got ourselves to blame because our time management sucks, big time. Roughly tied up the odds and ends of the WR in 2hours plus, and there was lots of internet conferencing because Vernon and Jason were at home (they came at 10am when we're meeting at 2pm!).
TV's getting bored now, I've lost interest in Charmed and Smallville. Pride's ending. Stairway to Heaven is getting kind of boring. And many other boring serials that I have once set my eyes on. Luckily there's Prince Who Turns Into A Frog.
By the way, I have changed my blogskin!! Give me your comments, good or bad, I can take it! Take care, everyone and all the best for promo results!!
-----------
Anyway, here's a sneak peak of the lovely poster from Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire!! Enjoy!!!

Free
It's been really ages since I last blogged and I guessed many things happened, for better or for worst.
Well, my eyes bags and dark eyes are enlarging by each day and I wonder how many days I have to sleep for it to reduce in colour and size. Next, my promos were real terrible - didn't complete some of the papers and some subjects were just a complete disaster. Not gonna mention it now, afterall, it's over.
People make mistakes sometimes and I guess sometimes, they cannot be salvaged. One of the biggest mistakes this week had to do with 'dare' and it's still bugging me, especially when I recall the stupid incident. It's had this impact and I don't think nothing can make me feel better. I guess time will heal all wounds.
Watched a number of vcds I borrowed from Yin Chieh today and my, I had a great time... never had I felt more energetic. Like there's blood flowing through my veins instead of the living-dead person I was while studying for the promos.
Oh, and guess what, I have been getting in touch with my roots lately! Haha... have been watching more chinese idol dramas, listening to chinese songs and many more... a lot of the things that I don't usually do.
Nothing much to blog now, so I'll sign off now. Ciao.
