The Eve of New Year's Eve
Woah, it's been like 3 days since I blogged? Guess I'm getting lazier and busier...
Anyway, I saw Memoirs of a Geisha with Izzulwan on Tuesday. I'll give it 3 out of 5 stars. Nice show, with beautiful costumes and charismatic screen presence from the actors. I guess I'll wait till my schedule's not so packed before I start reading the book.
And I actually skipped photography on Wednesday! Replaced the session with mini shopping with SKY at TM and Century Square. Helped Shi Zhen look for CNY shoes and I went to find nail polish again!! Haha.. my collection is increasing by the day...
Yesterday's PE was fun albeit tiring. Did 6 rounds in Lane 7/8 and I managed to finish within the 20 minute timeframe. My stamina has kinda dropped so I'm slower. =( During the volleyball practise, I couldn't really do the backward throw. People went behind to pick the ball - I went in front. However, later Shi Zhen and I managed to hit the ball over the net which secured the class's ticket to end PE lessons. So happy!!
CNY celebration and the gates are locked. I guessed the school's grown smarter. It was an okay celebration and our class only had like 12 people in attendance?!? Some of our class even suggested to visit Mr Liew's house for CNY. To my horror, Mr Liew actually lives around my previous house. *faints* I'm so happy and glad I never met him during my entire duration there. By the way, we even found out Mr Liew's chinese name. *gasps in horror*
Two more days till CNY! So much fun, right? Eat a lot, talk a lot and walk a lot. Hongbaos, here I come!!Labels: friends, movies

Less than One Week to CNY
Had a few busy days, and the following are what I did: -
- Friday
Watched In Her Shoes, a movie I'd rate 3.5 out of 5 stars. A really nice movie, that revolves around sisterhood, kinship, love, self-esteem, loving yourself and almost everything that affects us. Again, I cried at some parts again. Funny thing, I have been crying at almost all the movies I've been watching lately... so scary.
- Saturday
Spent the majority of my day at Changi Mac, where Yin Chieh, Shi Zhen and I did our Econs groupwork. We stayed there from 1100-1730hrs! We're like the longest-staying people in there. Anyway, I snacked on a strawberry sundae, regular sprite and 9-piece Fish McDippers there! So terrible of me!! Was very tired when I went home and I kinda slept after I saw the Channel U show - Chinese Paladin. The main reason I watched it was because the lead actor - Hu Ge - is like so handsome! Sweet dreams after that, eh?
- Sunday
Did some spring cleaning since it's the last weekend before the lunar new year! Helped my mom run errands and cleaned up the place. Even did my homework till the wee hours of the morning. A rather fruitful day, I guess?
Actually, today was kinda okay. Shi Zhen and Yan Bing are both sick and Yin Chieh's visiting the doctor tomorrow... which means SKYY are kinda 'down for maintenance'. Hope the new year brings much better prospects for SKYY! Gotta go now, finish up some work and then go watch Grey's Anatomy on Channel 5. Yippee! Labels: friends, movies

Snap!
Yesterday, for photography, Yin Chieh and I went over to the area around TM and Century Square as well as the interchange to take pictures of couples!! We're so creative, right? It all started with us seeing one J1 couple (maybe they're not) in school. This guy was like putting his hand on the girl's shoulder and then slowly slide his hand off. We're like "Eeww". Managed to take some young and old couples, and I thought it was quite eventful. Though sometimes, in a flash of an eye, Yin Chieh could just snap so fast, I didn't even know if she did. Hope the pictures comes out nice. And the security guard from TM actually chased us away from the outside of the building, say we cannot take pictures here, especially of the buildings. Told him we're taking the people and he said "take finish go away". It's not as if we want you on our film, even if you pose, we're not interested.
Man, today's volleyball PE lesson was a torture! Had to do drills worst that what I did in netball! And the warm-up was exhaustive! My whole body was aching after that. After that, we had to hit the volleyball in all sorts of positions and to go for our break, we had to hit the volleyball up straight for 8 times! Sounds easy? It's not! Guess I still need MORE practice...
Before we went for GP lecture, we got news that Zhen Hui fractured his arm while doing some bicycle trick or something. Then he went to hospital. From what I heard, he doesn't seem to concern that his arm was broken. And the GP lecture was rather irritating in a sense, the lecturer kept "blowing the whistle" to wake people up. The sound was damn piercing in the enclosed space and she thinks it' so fun - "Are you sleepy? Do you want to hear the whistle again?" Crazy. And the girls in our class had to sit behind a group of very sweaty guys (courtesy of Joseph's class), imagine... the aircon is not working very well and they keep fanning themselves! Arghh...
Went home after that and still have to do my homework! Weekend's coming but there's no time to rest at all. Hopefully I can catch a movie sometime around these few days... it's been so long since I watched one.Labels: friends

Horizontally and Vertically Challenged
Today's like the worst day since school opened. It's height and weight taking time!! *freaks in panic*
Been snacking around more, exercising less and as the story goes, your weight goes up! Gosh! I think I might enter TAF this time, unless they wish to double check my weight like few weeks later to see if I have lost what I have put on. Plus, the NAPFA standards have gone up! Or so my teacher said. I'm more worried about my standing broad jump (SBJ). So now, I'm gonna push myself to eat healthier and try my best to exercise more. Balanced lifestyle, you see. (Now, I'm like bullshitting - since when did I ever push myself to exercise? Not in the holidays...) And I might try going two and then three steps at a time to practise for my SBJ, because my teacher said that it will help to stretch my thigh/hip muscle which can help me jump higher and further. I'm banning lifts now!
Also, another phenomenon that happens every time where there is height and weight taking is that all the stick-thin and almost stick-thin girls start worrying about whether they have put on weight. People like me are like "Arghhh!" and they start panicking when they put on 1kg or 0.5kg. No offence but it seems that I keep bumping into these people everywhere. I guess they have no idea of how fortunate they are to have such a nice built and high metabolic rate! The worse thing is I "shrunk" by 1cm! Idiot man, now I'm the shortest in class. =(
Such a depressing post, right? I think I'm gonna bury myself in work and only snack on plain water from now on.
Signing off...Labels: school

Sicko.
Been rushing my Econs and GP homework over the weekend. Imagine having to do 2 essays over one weekend. Arghh... it's a miracle I got through it.
Anyway, today was quite okay. Sunny Singapore is back again, no more wet weather to dampen my moods. And finally there was people handing up their GP homework. It's such a relief to see that my efforts have kinda paid off - I mean, I sent online messages and SMSes but only 4 people handed up last Friday. I wondered if I'm really up to it. But I always tell myself things to comfort myself... you know make me feel good and others bad... Haha...
Went for my dental appointment today, a first during a school day. Damn, I was like so pissed off and disappointed with the whole dental clinic. Despite reaching early, I was served late and the whole service and attitude was slipshod. I had to walk back to take my rubber bands to close those stupid gaps in my teeth (which should have been closed ages ago!). And the worse thing was that my receipt was printed with my sister's name! Though there's only like a difference of one word, they should have at least checked! And because I didn't go last month due to some comments to the dentist that I should visit 6 months later so of course the whole of December I won't be there! Damn it, man. I was complaining to my mom on the phone later and I felt so lousy that I went to window shop at Tiong Bahru Plaza instead. Really soothened my very tensed up moods. I can't believe I could actually feel like crying after that whole episode, but I guessed I channelled it into rage and now I can't wait for the whole dental clinic to be burnt - along with the dentists and helpers, the records and whatever expensive equipment they have. Luckily, I bought this 250g + 500g FREE worth of Double Choc Chip with Pecan cookies from Famous Amos~! My favourite flavour!
Anyway, there's lots of propaganda going around the two words - Campus Superstar. Early in school, the student council actually told us to vote for our school finalist Shermaine Goh. If the school subsidises my phone bill, I might consider doing that. Then at the dental clinic (again!), the dentist actually told his helpers to vote for the RI candidate. May I remind you people that probably only one or two guys are okay by my standards. *pukes at the guys*
Fine, enough of my blabbing. Till then...Labels: school

Panda Eyes
Phew... this few days have been real hectic and it's only the second week of school!!
Physics topical test was really a waste of my time. I was so tired the night before I only managed to study a topic that didn't come out at all! The duration of the test was also kinda long, as I saw many people looking around, playing with the pen, sleeping and doing whatever actions that wouldn't deem them cheating. Me, on the other hand, was trying to whack formulas and answers from my brain, which didn't seem to be working very well. I'm so not gonna pass the test.
Photography Orientation was a blast. Ice blast, in fact. The start of those icebreaker games seems to be forming another layer of ice around us in the very cold weather. Things only get better with the 'tapping' game of which some evil twin kindly reminded me that my right hand had 'died' in the game... uhhh, thanks ah. Spent some time in the photography room, where Yin Chieh and I looked at the 2005 Prom pictures! Gosh, they were like so "oooh....ahhh...."; it's so formal and reminds me of those party that rich people get into...
This morning was really sleepy, everything was seen through my half-opened eyes and it was the first time I had to run pass the front gate before they locked the gates on me!!
Stayed back these few days for Econs and today, I saw Izzulwan. He was doing some stuff for Interact Club, and I've got to say that I'm shocked by their membership intake. Chatted and gossiped about stuff and I hope we can go for our mini movie outing as planned.
Been feeling a little liberated these days, as the new year seems to have defined some previously unclear definitions in me. Although it seems like it shouldn't be this way, but I guess sometimes man cannot defeat destiny and fate which has already been written for us. Whatever it is, I'm still good.Labels: school

I'm A Lazy Person... I ADMIT!
Took this off Zuohan's blog, a rather interesting quiz I think. The results are rather accurate since I always admit I'm lazy by nature (which probably explains by size). I kinda expected a little more on the lust side but I guess I'm nowhere near Zuohan's level. Oops. Well, I guess you guys can take it too! Greed: | Medium | | | Gluttony: | Medium | | | Wrath: | Medium | | | Sloth: | High | | | Envy: | Low | | | Lust: | Very Low | | | Pride: | Medium | |

Rusting...
Oops. My blog is rusting, literally.
Haven't been really FREE to update my blog. Been caught up with doing my leftover holiday homework from December. Even my mom is kinda shocked "that her daughter is so last minute". I guess I managed to hide it from her well in the past. Hee.
My teachers in JC2 haven't changed. Though I hoped they would. Particularly Physics and if possible, Math. Not that the current tutors are very lousy, I guess some teachers are not supposed to teach some students and vice versa. They just don't click.
Anyway, we changed our Chinese teacher. Something I don't need. The thing is - I don't think I can really understand what he's talking about. He's a little worse than Xu Ping from my Secondary 2 days. Haha. I mean, the whole class was like laughing or grinning, trying to control their laughter.
I guess that's a brief update of me. Till then...Labels: school

New Beginnings
Within a matter of days, some stuff worth mentioning happened...
- Meeting with my 2E2 buddies on New Year's Eve due to my cousin's wedding on the 1st and of course, my curfew.
- My cousin's wedding on the 1st, as mentioned...
- 2006 has arrived!!
Well, I'm kind of sad that I didn't manage to go for the gathering. After all, it's been very very long since we met up... but the timing was really kind of late and I don't think my mom would allow me to sleepover at anybody's place. I guess there's always a next time to meet up. The first day of 2006 and I went over to my Uncle's place for the traditional tea ceremony. Something really embarrassing happened there and it's not right for me to publish it here. Let's just say, thank God I wasn't at some stranger's place. Anyway, the bride's so pretty. However, she had to wear 6-inch heels because my cousin is like damn tall, standing at about 6 foot 1? I wonder why the height genes didn't come to me... Had the wedding dinner at Rasa Sentosa. A really nice place, great ambience and food etc. So happened that one of the ex-Damaian is the waitress there. The so-called souvenir of the evening was this very limited edition stamp from Singapore Post with the couple's picture printed there. It's similar to the one that had Taufiq's face on it or the one from the Fantastic Four edition. Well, it's the first day of school today. Wasn't really anticipating it if I weren't meeting all my friends again. This is the first time I left so much homework untouched. AND there's this math topical test tomorrow. Some voice is telling me to burn midnight oil. Luckily, there are no tutorials to speak of this week, only lectures. But that doesn't leave out tests. Arghh. There's a new canteen in school. I'm not really sure if the food's really good as I heard some really discouraging remarks from my classmates. I wonder if the food tasting group lost their tastebuds. And I really hate the new receptacles collection point. It's not as if the school canteen's so big or something. I had to squeeze through truckloads of people just to return those plates. No wonder so many people left them on the table. Damaians entering TPJC this year weren't many, I only saw a few... amongst them were Shuyun and Sherry. I think there were less than 10? Anyway, I think it's a good choice. Oops. Most of them went MJC? I wonder how is it for them... Well, I think I have to get back to the table and memorise those dreaded formulas. Ta-ta!
