6 more days to being SIXTEEN.

510, and I think I'm calling it a day at blogger! (:

(and dedicating this to the awesome-estest bunch of people I know in Secondary 3 and Secondary 4.)

It's apt though, started this when I was 2 weeks or so into 12 (if memory serves well), and shall close this just a week away from turning 16. So I really hope this records well, part (at least a minute bit?) of the 4 years of life being in Secondary school. Even thought, I must admit that posts dwindled once Sec 4 started,

Phleh, another lengthy, incoherent post.

-Campus

Looking back on our current/temp (I refused to say new) campus, I think somehow, this small campus also has it's special-ness. Idk how you termed it. Maybe cause this temp campus is so tiny (haha), it feels like everyone's closer. Back in our huge/old campus, you rarely saw people playing bb/soccer and you never really could see them from the canteen. This time arnd, you would always see people playing sports, to soak in those rays.. Y'knw, it seems to slightly liven up the air at times. Then there was YOG, where we all, regardless of whether you knew each other in a batch, huddled to watch those matches, esp the gym ones, and cheer like mad. Haha. K, but I also agree due to space constrains, you no longer can meet your juniors during lunchtime/recess. ._.

-Grad night (can't say prom without the testosterone arnd);

Grad night was awesome, running arnd trying to take a photo of your friends. Friends who were there for you to Friends who you forgot/haven't spoken to in ages. Taking photos together just brings back those memories. Yes? However, photographs can always only remain photographs, just part of memory. It's a terrifying thought knowing, maybe, just maybe, those people you took photos with may travel a route way different from yours and you'll never see them again. Okay okay, it ain't supposed to end so grossly! It meansss, Keep in Touch K. AND, all of you'll looked real pretty that nice. Pretty babes on normal days, and stunning hot babes on Grad Night. (L)

-SN

Where girls share secrets.

Where girls do stupid things and laugh about it with friends.

Where girls have the occasional catfight, but all that usually ends in a pool of tears, hugs, tissuepaper maybe? (sometimes on reflection day, haha)

And to add on,

-4 Diligence

Where girls mug like mad.

Anyway, having saiddd all that.

Just wanna thank you'all for being such awesome friends, for being such a huge part of my upper sec life. (: Think I'm getting all nostalgia cause I saw all those little notes (notes from v-day notes to gradnight notes and def my shirt!) I kept, almost every single one. -(No thanks for the constant reference to the Bim**-word >:/ WHO WROTE ANYTHING LIKE THAT!). And I can't thank you all enough, for spicing up life at SN. And for those encouragements through the times I was down. Quote Xueshi and Janice, "yeah, mel you cry a lot". Yeah, those times when you lend a shoulder for me to tear on. :) Those times, when you pushed me along, telling me never to give up.

And if I have hurt you'all. Which I know I have, at times. I'm sorry.

And to rephrase something I read in Crash Test Love; 'Most people think I'm distant because I have to move the muscles in your face to show emotion, and it's something I'm terrible at (esp when I'm walking alone righhhht!)".

Awesome-est people;

GLOS - Goh (Tricia), Lee (Janice), Ong (Huirou), Seah (Hsiaowei).

(and with meeeeee, CLOGS. HAHAHA, sorry for the messed up name!)

Recessy-ers- Felly, Lam, Clee, Sue.

Go-Home-Clique. LLoTTS - Lee (Jan), Luo (xueshi), Tan (Tab), Toh (Nien), Seah (Hsiaowei)

4D soccer girls. :) Shuen, Felly, Clee, Sueyi, Lam, Soph, Es, Grace, Dan. + Recess Soccer people.

Last, but not least, THE MJ WS- Tricia, Huirou, Esther, Jan, hsiaoWei, Sophia.

To quote Shuen; "It's so hard to find people/friends who can work and play hard at the same time"

~Cause IJ friends are Friends for life.

(L)

Enjoy your holidays!

Clogs

LLoTTS (+mel?)

MoLLTTS. haha or

CLLoTTs. (ohmy).

Recess Buds.

19 Sept - THE MATCH DAY. (yeah, the title has no relevance to the post)

2010-09-19T00:40:00.000+08:00

Done with the prelims hurdle.

:( Have quite a few regrets though.

Anyway, wanted to pen down (er, type down) some thoughts about this article I read recently. Titled, "China's P' generation", it was an article reporting on how the young generation seems to be "xiang pi ren" as described in a book, or rather, "plasticine men". It interviewed some youths in the work force, who say that they really have no goal in life. They work for the sake of working and that they feel that there's no vibrancy to life. One guy even said he's become numb to life, and he feels that, he just gotta get used to it. That's all.

Wait, no, how can we just say that's all? THAT's all? "Hello, I'm numb to life, that's all.", isn't that just, really (I don't want to say it) pathetic? Plastercine, Pathetic, Pblehz. Then again, I was talking to some of my friends about it, and I (or maybe we) do also fall into this category. No? Yah, no goal, erm, or rather, no passion to hold on to.

I think it's unhealthy sometimes. And no, it's not just what I think. I think it's true. I mean, it's true! That's why reports have said that it's scientifically proven to have health benefits to support a sports team (heh, with like intense passion).

On another note, Reflection day is soon, y'knw. 4th reflection day in SN. Reflection day's just really mindblowing in SN. I don't even know how to put it in words. I guess, most girls end up in tears would be quite an apt description, no? Idk la, it's just some weird feeling, foreboding the reflection day. Tab and Xueshi told me that we must really continue to keep in touch after we graduate, and it's just, feels odd, to be graduating.

Oh yes, I just had to put this up.

"--Mel; Internal Guy. says:

Just praise.

ernest says:

thats the way

--Mel; Internal Guy. says:

ANYHOW PRAISE.

Eh, wait, i take that back.

just PRAISE with your heart, body and soul!

ernest says:

YOURE SO WONDERFUL

--Mel; Internal Guy. says:

HAHAHAHAHHA

ernest says:

OH THE SUNSHINE OF MY NIGHT SKY

THE ROLLING THUNDEROUS OCEAN WAVES ON THE SAHARA DESERT

OH MY CHERRY ON THE TOP OF MY SWENSENS TWO FOR ONE SUNDAE STUDENT MEAL

--Mel; Internal Guy. says:

HAHAHAHHAHA. YAY! This is awesome! :) (btw, I just ate swensens today, how apt)

Anyway, yes la, you may not believe it, but this is really awesomee. :) Thank you. HAHA, I feel less crap now. :)"

Heh, I just had to put this up. Getting people to praise you, is like, self praise without the adage "self praise is no praise" right? It brightened up my day, even though it was at night, even though I spent one entire day shopping at Orchard with Trish, Xueshi, Tab, Nienz, Huirou, Jan, Hsiaowei. :)

--Culture shock excerpt.--

Sister's friends from overseas came over today. Like, the girl (of the couple) was my sister's roommates when she was studying overseas. Was awesome to talk to them, it was really hilarious though.

Girl (Alice) introduces pork floss to her boyfriend, (Jared) And she said how my sister let her try some back then, and my sister chirps in, telling how she (Alice) actually spat it out.

Alice "It's disgusting! It's like candy floss. Only, pork."

Jared "Interesting!"

*so then my parents went to find some pork floss for him to try.

HAHAHA, AND Surprisingly, he liked it.

The apprehensive expression before he tried it (y;knw, whilst scrutinizing it) was worthless.

BPL Liverpool vs Man U laterr (considering it's nearly one now).

It's like a time to feel elated and y'knw all high and happy, or the direct opposite, grouchy.

AHHH.

Sept Holsss'10

2010-09-05T00:03:00.001+08:00

Felt an urge to post again! :) Okay, shall try to do this in a jiffy!

Anyway, posting some pictures in no particular order. :)

First, http://bookshelfporn.com/

HAHA, okay, SO it's the hols again!

And like always, is this hols gonna be that horrendous cycle where it zooms by and you look back and say, Ohno and probably complete with expletives. :(

Nonetheless, yesterday was awesome fun! Tricia, Huirou, Esther, Mel, Janice, hsiaoWei, Sophia.

Haha, our initials spell THE MJ WS. And it's harder to get any better than that. It just felt so good to just play band hero and just talk, just take photos for like, the whole afternoon.

So good, so pleasurable, it felt. guilty. HAHA, if you know what I mean.

Yup, and I wonder what I will feel tmr, cause it's someone's wake. It feels, scary. Really. Like life is so fragile. And y'knw, her mom doesn't know. Cause everyone's afraid to tell her. Her mom is overseas, that's why. But that's still no reason why you shld keep it from her? I mean, I'm not for keeping, nor against.. But? IDKLA, that's just the easiest thing to say. :(

On another note, been going mad for the past few days. I'm having tremendous pressure build up in ears. It's horrible, i tell you. It's like, you know that "in ear" earpiece experience? Haha, where you can hear your breath and your own echo. Yes, I can hear my echo too when my ear has pressure built up. I'll go mad if this continues. :( That's probably why I came to blog. hahaha, cause I don't wanna talk to people and hear myself. I'm like living in my own world, yup, that's what it is. And been taking medicine for it, and surprisingly, it suddenly works, although it usually doesn't. :/ All this attributed from a viral attack. :( Sore throat and this..

And my sore throat scares everyone. HAHA, first time I sound so deeeeep. It was quite epic amusing how I scared my sister, cause she didn't know who was calling her. (She thought I was in school on Friday, but I didn't have to go to school).

But then again, this deep voice complements my inner guy. No? haha, yep, everyone now reckons I'm a guy within for several reasons. *winks Just now, someone said, "omg, even Mel is a guy name". Haha, win.

And no, not that I'm attracted to females. HAHA.

HAHAHA. This one, just speaks volume. :)

I like. *cheeky smile.

Screenshot from my phone. Haha! This is random, but there's a Spain high since Torres scored. I mean, 4-0. HAHA. :) And cesc and xabi on Twitter. :)

And this. Makes me look at ducks in a completely different way.

Aww, and this is an awesome shot. Do we look like we're a soccer team?

"What's up with your leg fetish?!" -Huirou

I don't have a leg fetish! Oh-ohkay, maybe I do..

It's okay. I will stick to my guy-watch fetish with Es. HAHAHA

The odds, and high, low outcomes.

2010-08-02T18:39:00.001+08:00

Overwhelmed with a sense of uncertainty.

A person just told me several days ago that despite the innocent face, I seem like a gambler, when I took a less popular question.

Two paths diverged in the forest, I took the one less travelled and that's all that makes the difference. -Robert frost.
So you mean, good difference or bad difference?

Gambling? Where can we go and calculate the odds in life? Yeah, a pocket odds-calculator? An apple app maybe! Lol-Sigh, but even the soccer odds weren't even the least bit accurate. See, portugal beat all odds and went for a AOS. Oh wait, with Paul's predictions aside. Haha.

Last week, form teacher was asking abt who was going to stay single (yah, cause we had a propaganda Singaporeans-shldn't-stay-single passage, haha). Those who really thought abt stating single didn't say.. Whereas Janice playfully mentioned my name softly.. When I dared her to "say louder" whilst glaring, she did. Pfft, anw, i wasn't given a chance to say anything before the class had this huge reaction (which i totally didn't expect). Many were laughing at how Mrs Lim was too, laughing and teasing me. Quote sherbs "I'll dig a hole and never come out if she teases me like that". >:/ Grr. Haha, that's not the point! Some, like es, was genuinely concerned, bombarding me with the huhhh, you can't be serious questions. I denied them of course, I mean, how can you plan to get married, or stay single? Look at Sumiko Tan and her example (if you know abt it). Oh, yah, and some girl told me that she's super afraid of some guy liking her, but she don't like that guy.  Which brings me to my other thought, it brings me to my other thought, what are the odds of two people liking each other? I mean, it practically seems impossible to me, no? With that recent bit of news I heard, haha, it's gossip but, uhm it's trueee! Like a fact! (okay, scrape that, no way of justifying the gossip part huh..), despite being so stable, still can part ways..

I like this, writing out makes me sort my thoughts better :). Thought I'll put this as yet another draft, but on second thought, ah whatever, I'll post them. :)

Eh, wait, I realised I still don't have answers! Haha, ahya, but stuff like these don't even have answers, yes? Haha, the things we talk in sch abt don't really make sense.

School's strange. Everyone seems to be having certain highs and lows.
Crying at stairways sounds exaggerated? Not really. Cheering or being very sad just cause we found out today was a Physical Geography paper, and we studied or didn't study for that, is also not something of my imagination. Having three desk partners, wanqi, hsaiowei, janice singing during maths also seems like a norm.

Sometime they put into the air maybe? Inject this cheery mood into us, and at times when it wears off, or we're immune then we plunge, into certain lowness, or sleepyness.

Haha, done pouring out those bottomless questions I had. :)

Mental note: Get Lost Symbol. But no, Get after O Levels. Haha, then I'll have all of his books. :) but cannot, I plan to savour it after O Levels. Yeah, then, I'll savour. :)

Crawling reading Client. :( despite it being a good book! *hangs head in shame! *

The things that matter and the things that don't.

2010-07-26T23:13:00.000+08:00

Don't even know why I'm here. No one's going read it anyway, but it's just as well.

You know, That feeling, That feeling you have, when you feel cheated of your, idk how to put it. It's like you told yourself it'll be okay, and you deceived yourself so well, you fell for it. or something.

That feeling, you know, like helplessness. I thought I couldn't use words to describe it, but I suddenly thought of one. It's like you, staring at the bar, but unable to do one more chin up.

Yes, I'll say it. I'm afraid.

I hope tml doesn't rain, so we can all indulge in a game of soccer. :)

I'm still not looking forward to learning journey. Hahah!

2010-07-25T23:42:00.000+08:00

Reading my 10 diaplayed losts for the first time in many many months. I liked reading my past posts. And even though I know there's certainly no one to come and read this, I'll still post it.

I reminded me, I mean, the reading reminded me, of the reasons why I even keep a blog, I like that it allows me to look back and read what I felt at that point of time.
Then, now, it just seems like a sheer pity cause it's like there are no recent posts, no posts to allow me to revisits the recent times. It seems like there's a void, cause sometimes, things move so fast, I don't really remember what whiz by. No no, usually we just rush to wait, like how we wait for the weekends, and then we wait to rush. And now, many know what's happening. :( didn't tell, even close friends, how I had a feelin something like this will happen, and now it's happening, but kinda in another way.
But then.. Ah, I shld definitely stop my mindless natter.

I've heard people being real geared up and excited' for learning journey, haha, okay, shall keep an open mind and treat it like a treat?too, even though I haven't exactly had a "yay learning journey" moment of yet.

Too abrupt, short, queer for a title. (;

2010-06-03T22:16:00.000+08:00

//Gone so long.
About the first time, I think I'll be away for even longer.
It just seems, too little time left.
On another note, I have a feeling that my computer gonna crash soon.
About one quarter of the hols has whizzed past.
Time.proceeds.

Yup, so long for now.

=)

just, have you ever wondered, which is worth it's weight in Gold?
Which is? How? What's the determinating factor. Where? So many questions. Where are the answers? When?

-cues awkward impasse.

Haha.

Labour Day?

2010-05-04T17:42:00.001+08:00

My phone has gone bonkers, in the sense that, it didn't save any of our 30 odd photos that Tricia, Janice and I took yesterday - sch holiday in lieu of Labour Day.

Does anyone even know why Labour day is celebrated? Sorta celebrated?

ANW, Though it sounds slightly odd, I'm really looking forward to motivational workshops!

Esther: "Actually, week seven! Wow, it's actually quite fast!"

Mel: "uh, yah, I guess, but we still have 5 more weeks to go."

Esther: "haha, 5? No laa.."

Mel: "Yes, we have two weeks of extended."

*ignites a whole grp of people discussing*

Ah, mixed feelings, don't you think?

It's May, and it's so *insert audible gasp* ! And I still can't do SS eSSays. !!

Yah, I probably sound incoherent, and blame it on my fried cells. Honestly, it is getting HOT. And there was no electricity so drink stall didn't sell cold bottled drinks.

Speaking of which, I prefer CAN milo > PACKET milo > CUP milo. But then it really bothers me when people drink from soda cans and leave all the excess drink / unidenified liquids, (ie, slobber?) all around the rim. Haha, ohhh.. enough said. Haha.

Swimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm time. :)

*Labour Day or Labor Day is an annual holidaycelebrated all over the world that resulted from the labour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. // Source, Wiki.

Dust dust and more dust.

2010-04-26T18:19:00.000+08:00

I finally found the answer to my question.
Yes, what is with term 2 and sick right?
With my left neighbor, right neighbor doing renovations, and my house doing re-tileing, DUST is everywhere.

Dry cough's getting worst. Ugh.

Feel so bad. The last time I got a cold, Felly came down with a cold too. Now with dry cough and sore throat's, Felly's feeling throat-itchy. 00:

I think it's gone wrong.

2010-04-25T19:09:00.000+08:00

When the feeling's gone.

What do you do to find it back?

No, I mean, what can you do to find it back?

Okay, on a higher note;

-- Mel; zwitterion says:

Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?

FELICIA♥ says:

are you using a pick up line on me?

We should start over. Just like how I want to "walk by" again.

Term Two Week 5 2010

2010-04-25T18:51:00.000+08:00

Been so long again since I last posted.

Been wanting to say this for so long! Food allowed in classrooms during lunch hour; Sec Four exclusive! =)

Yay. Sigh, Sick again. I don't know what's with Term Two and Viruses.

I just keep coming down with them! 6 Weeks, two sore throats, and a bad case of flu. I just keep contracting them once friends or family has viruses. Grah!

I miss my dog again :( Probably because my home is doing re-tileing the floors and my parents are thinking of discarding the dog's kernel away. And also, yesterday Bones put down a dog who killed someone because his master instructed him to. Grah, but the master instructed him to, so it isn't his fault! Hello, the dog who tried to kill my dog once and attack me another time is more bad natured can! And yes he is still alive.

Anw, I like Grey Anatomy Season 6. Yah, I'm slack and tv junkie. :(

Oh yes, school's cultivating us to have green fingers, huh. Planting bean sprouts and Chilli.

Hello Chilli Pilli, Chilli Pilla and 7 other Chilli Siblings, grow grow grow :). I realised, Pro-chilli, But-Chilli, Eth-Chilli, Met-Chilli, Pan-Chilli, Chilli.

Ultimate Short -

2010-04-17T13:07:00.000+08:00

So off tangent lately.

& I blame poor quality sleep. Yes, it's disastrous. Think I'm suffering from insomnia. When the night's so quiet, and I can hear my thoughts, can barely get to sleep. And when I do, I wake up from mosquito bites.

How come everyone has unknown msn people add-ers now. Sometimes 3 or 4 adds at one go. : /

//
Will you just hold me tight (I see you)
And never let me go? (I'm waiting to make my move)
I know this whole things wrong (But I'm scared and I know)
But baby, we're invincible (That you got better things to do)

A full stop to Qihang 2010.

2010-03-28T00:21:00.001+08:00

Yes, of course Qihang's over now.

With every ending marks a new beginning. Hope that this time, we did provide our juniors learning experiences.

Photos on the day of Qihang:

With Mr Rei Poh, Director Consultant from Drama Box.

Photos after the 10 min timed dinner and prep talk by directors before performance.

Rock onnnn :)

Photo credits to Huimin, but this is what Dummies were on stage on LCD screen.

QIHANG IN 18 HOURS TIME.

2010-03-20T01:12:00.004+08:00

Honestly thought I was the only one with that stupid feeling of holding on. But everyone at combined logistics and artistic comm meeting kinda felt that way. So many sleepless nights, so many sessions of meeting, of arguing, of rehearsals, of training. I even remember running with actresses to improve their lung capacity so they can scream their lungs out later. Oh, I mean, project their voice. Performing Drama is an art really. Sigh, and tml, it'll be over. As in, just another piece of memory. Is it only weaklings who sink into such post-performance depression or something. When I look at it from a practical form, it doesn't serve any purpose clinging on to it, clinging on to anything. Cause life goes on. And if QIHANG'10 is over, it's over, and I'll have other things to do. But I just can't help but get this whole mixed feelings thing.

Sigh, I need to snap out of this really soon, cause reality must come and slap me in the face cause I can't complete my homework. But how to, when I spend at least 12 hours rehearsing everyday of the holidays. Argh.

Yes, I'm afraid. Tell me anything and everything's gonna be okay.

I just want it to be a perfect experience.

=) Perfect, that's the plan.

P-E-R-F-E-C-T.

Play for Dummies & Mirror (Jing) JIAYOU :)

--/ edit;
I must add, do you think there's a point where emotions overwhelms your ability to focus? When you honestly cannot focus, just like, how.. How I really need to do work now, but I just keep thinking about stuff, just stuff in general. And I can't focus. And I won't sleep till I do finish at least one of what I need to complete today. Cause no, I don't want to hand in everything late. :/ But how to give on time, yet of quality. How?

Lights out. That's a thought for both you and me to ponder.

Cause March Hols' been revolving around 给愚蠢的人.

2010-03-18T17:59:00.000+08:00

Maybe this has become 启航's new slogan.

WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO FAIL. 没有失败的权力. No reason, no rights.

I remember being in props team for my first 启航. That passion that seniors felt about 启航, I honestly hope it hasn't died down. I'm really thankful that I didn't just let 启航 slip thru my fingers that year. I stayed back everyday for props, yes, everyday, cause our props were really really elaborate, and I saw how tired seniors were, but they still came down to help. As a pretty carefree sec one, all the more I should come down. Formed bonds within members, especially seniors, but then, sadly, all of that has sorta blurred down to few fuzzy little details. Just a small little vague meager piece of memory.

Two years passed, and we were unfortunately unable to do 启航. Seniors graduated with regrets, seniors told the Green badges that we will be the one who has to live their dreams. Two years passed, and 启航 was like buried under everything else. Lost, and gone.

So only the Green Badges know what is 启航 all about. 启航 met so many obstacles, one of them being the splitting of CCS's drama WING into a brand new CCA. Half the number of people honestly made it very difficult. But all these stupid difficulties aside, I know each Green Badger knows that we have to make it a legacy, a legend for our juniors, and to find back 启航, so that 启航 continues down.

I remember being told that I was in "artistic comm" comprising of the directors. I know it is an honor, and I'm thankful for that, but some parts of me really did not want it. Directing, just means I could not act. Not only directing, script writing too. Directing, just means being really really really busy. But we traveled on this long and tedious road. We have what, nearly zilch experience, and yet we have half the time. We have 启航'2007 in June, but 启航'2010 in March. :0 Beat that. Sleeping everywhere is like our trademark or something. Qiaoer and many felt asleep on my couch watching rehearsals. I fell asleep eating dinner on the couch, and my parents had to wake me and ask if I still wanted to continue eating. Hahaha! Thought telling it to Huimin would be hilarious, but I got a response like "Oh ya, I did that several times too, like nearly everyday now".

Now we only left just ONE day. And I honestly don't know what to feel. SAT will show it all, will we prove our audiences that $10 was more than worth it? But most importantly, will we be able to show ourselves that all those long hours of rehearsals have been worth it? 4 times a week, 3 hours at each shot. And to spend our entire March Hols on 启航. At least I know with director meetings, it's been about 12 hours a day. And today, we even had a intimating session of 4 directors to 1 actress.

And these are dedicated to my rockstars;
给愚蠢的人,
Perform without any worries, we're trained so hard. All of you all have bloomed into fabulous actresses. So shine on that day, and leave no regrets. Feel that character, that character is you, and you are that character. Feel the exhilarating rush. The stage is all yours, and let the warm stage magic fill you. Most importantly, enjoy those times on stage. Enjoy having earned the chance of performing on stage.

I feel like a old mother hen sometimes. I feel like on Sat, all the actresses can grow their wings and fly, I mean, somewhat, cause chickens can't fly, and I'll be backstage, doing their lightings. I've always enjoyed performing on stage. I feel that exhilaring rush when I see the audiences enjoy it. It makes me feel like everything's worth it. I really wonder how being backstage, looking at the LCD screen and doing lightings will feel. I wonder, and I feel slightly empty now. Thankfully I didn't have the bad dream that Vivian had regarding performance. I just feel like the world's spinning, uh, partly lack of sleep. But I wonder what SAT is like. No one can tell what the future holds, can they?

给愚蠢的人, rock on.

The childish part of me wants a sleepover. But sleepover got rejected on the reason of everyone has no time to complete their schwork. Haha. And of course I know, school's important.

Secondary 4; Term One w random photos

2010-03-13T02:16:00.002+08:00

Although it's pretty late, and I'm due for Esther's wedding in about 7 hours and I really ought to be getting sleep now, I'll try to squeeze in a short one.

Haven't exactly been writing in this space for a long long time and I don't like it one bit. Just that, I've been up to my neck about so many things lately and I've been absent from the cyber world for nearly a month. Alright, exclude fb and email, which I check very often to keep in touch. :D

Anw, of course, many of you know that I've been really busy due to production matters, all those scripting and then after that is rehearsals everyday! And then there's just a long list to settle nearly everyday. And they always come so untimely to coincide with massive school stuff, like school work, school NE videos and class decoration.

It's only 1 week before Qi Hang. <从心启航>, a production that has stopped for 2 years is going to make a comeback. This marks the beginning of Chinese Drama Society. Looking back, looking at my NYAA reflections, being a director has probably made me a stronger person. Being the one to be commanding 7 actresses, being the one to take 7 actresses under my care and not having directing experience at all, is just a very very very steep challenge. But I'm thankful I got so far. And I've really learnt that support among ourselves is just very very important. Producing a production requires lots of energy, skill, leadership and definitely teamwork.

And I certainly would not be able to come so far without the support of those around me. Simple things like going out together to watch Percy Jackson (Felly, Sue(yi), Yiyin, Sherbelle and Clara Lee) really helped me pull through by relaxing. Sometimes you need a good rest to go a further distance right? And of course, trekking through Orchard Road after CCA, lugging our bags around with Tricia, Hsiao Wei, Janice was simply therapeutic! I remember being able to complete some CCA cues and instructions in about 2 hours when I expected 3, after coming home.

Yiyin, Mel(ly), Felly.

:( why didn't we take a group photo!

And certainly, those who have encouraged me one way or another! Huirou, desk partner! Tricia :), Grace Ho, Sue Yi, Clara (Lee, and Goh), Fellyyy, Yiyin, Shuen! and Sherbelle, Tab, Nien Ping, Xue Shi, Esther, Sophia, Janice, Hsiao Wei, Mel Low, Chyi Fang. Ehh, bascially like everyone within calling distance of my desk! HAHAHA! No la, and just everyone. Cause there were overwhelming many people who comforted me when I cried, really MELodramatically, I had no idea what got over me, but I just got really disappointed in myself and yah, stuff happens! hahaha!

But anw, I still believe that crying isn't a sign of weakness and thru the crying espisodes of many lately, I gather that we're really highly stressed out! :0 And of course, cried because of the certain things that touch our hearts. Yes, I'll miss Mrs Goh! Cause she has always been an inspiration to me.

Yup, and I'll just like to say, Term One is done! Green Badge, all the way, we've got a priceless mission to accomplish! 4 Diligence, press on, no matter how sometimes we feel its not paying off, or we get slightly misunderstood, press on.

Xue shi's birthday (water) bombing.

And would love to end off with quotes,

"Your homework is to take 2 days off during the hols, cause WHY do you have eyes of the panda, the eyes of your seniors in like probably term 3 or something!" and "Yes, take 2 days off, relax, and come back with your brains!"
-A very cute, exasperated Ms Law.

Yes, Bummer, I know I flunked the Social Studies Common Test One. :(

Mrs Hoo; "What is wine made of?"
4 Diligence; "Grapes"
Mrs Hoo; "Red Wine?"
4 Diligence; "Yah Red Grapes."
Mrs Hoo; "White Wine leh?"
4 Diligence (as a matter of fact); "White Grapes"
Mrs Hoo;"AH! I knew you all will say white grapes, grapes where got white?"
Mrs Hoo *pauses for response (which everyone gave a blank - panda - eyed stare)
Mrs Hoo; "SKINLESS GRAPES are WHITE!"

Prepare to usher in the tiger year! :)

4th February

2010-02-04T23:24:00.001+08:00

4th February.
One year ago, it was AYLC.
Asian Young Leaders Convention.

2010

2009.

That's life, time really does fly. Was talking to Ching and Ade on the Mrt, it doesn't seem too long ago. Still can remember all those details and everything. It's pretty shocking actually, that it has been a year. I miss those Shanghai nights, haha. I rmb, they put firework like as if it's free.

Anw, I remembered Crossings I was on 13 Feb 2009. See, I still can remember, cause it really doesn't seem so long ago. Is it because 1 year is only like 1/15 of my life or something, so it seems really little, fast and maybe even insignificant. Whereas if I was ten, it would have been a tenth of my life, which would obviously seem bigger in proportion. Hmm? Feelings of Crossings I and Crossings II were really different. When I attended Crossings I, I was like only outta drama for 2 months? And besides, I had some plans and was considering whether to embark on it.

This year's Crossings II, 4th Feb. I must admit, I feel slightly out of touch. Sigh, and Qihang's bringing those feelings to a greater level, for I fear whether I'm able to live up to theater's name, or you know, to Qihang's name. I'm just really proud of girls that did so well tonight. Shuqing and gang's eyebrows were just the coolest. Probably priceless. Just look out for their makeup. Haha, hilarious!

"like how we used to" -teh neh neh neh signature face. :)

This year, Crossings II, was more than awesome.

I really do hope we'll have a chalet for the drama girls and drama alumnae alike.

Travel.

2010-01-30T21:59:00.000+08:00

Quite coincidental huh. Whilst reading newspaper, I do look at the horoscopes just for the fun of it. So yesterday, after I came back from the airport, I chanced upon the horoscope, it said travel was on my mind, and I could really use a break. Which is really coincidental, considering the fact I went to the airport yesterday to send Vernon off to Australia.

After CCA and all, I rode a bus down to T3. Took me ages, but at least I completed what I set out to read. Anw, I arrived there early and was just strolling around. Man, the pace of life is incredibly slow. I purposely stood still on the "crawling" escalators, and it proved to be cathartic. Yes, it sounds stupid and all, but literally, I just took a slow walk from the ends of the airport. I'm glad I planned to reach early. Slow walks does you good sometimes. I went around, and you know T3 has this like green concept going on. Haha, don't know who was saying that the gents was just behind all the green glass! panals. Anw, that's besides the point, I found a corner of greenery and at a distance where I could hear blasting music in the backgrd, and I sat down and read. I liked people-watching and yet, no one knew me. Everyone seemed to be in their own happy lil' bubble.

Okay, err, yah, then met up with all the people sending him off, I realised very little Secondary people came!
Anw, started like talking for a while. It's interesting la, on the whole. I mean, was just thinking about studying overseas. Just talking about how Vernon's already spend what, 7 years aboard when he was a kid, and now for further studies. And then talked about a recent case where sisters who went aboard enjoyed it so much, and didn't want to come back, so their family emigrated there.

Hmm. Life's so full of uncertainties. Who's planning to study overseas?

Ignorance and Assumptions, a foolish combination.

2010-01-25T00:26:00.000+08:00

I know I should be sleeping now, but I just needed to say this. I just don't get why people assume they know you. Humans are really complex, they aren't 1-Dimensional, nor 2, I wouldn't even say 3 when it comes to getting to know a person. So why ask me questions and then say you bet I don't know it. I do, but it's okay, I just smile bittersweetly at your ignorance.

Does it boil down to the hierarchy of age again?

Do you know what's Dimethyl Sulfoxide?

2010-01-22T22:57:00.003+08:00

Needless to say, this week has been a hectic week again. Council Invest is next week! Ohmy! And day by day Qihang draws really near. In a blink of an eye, it's already 22 January, leaving us with less than 2 months to sort things out. I always knew there were challenges and everything, but what I imagined was nothing in contrast to our problems. Script problems nearly threatened the partnership of the directors this week, but I'm glad, and hope that we'll still continue to remain strong, conquering problem after problem. :) In fact, today, I' was pretty glad the seniors came back to cheer us on. Spanning from over 5 badges, some seniors, in their twenties didn't even know us, but they came back to share their experiences. And I'm glad they acknowledge that it's really pretty hard for the green badge for this production because after stopping for two years, we really lack the experience. The yellow and blue badge shared with us their regrets for not having our annual productions and the hopes they have on us. I vaguely remembered the most hectic times of qihang preparations during sec one. I vaguely remembered the pride. Usually, directors have 8 months of preparations, other backstage teams - 6 months of preparations. We had about 3 or 4? and We have two months left. That screams certainly for doubletimestriple the efficiency. And troubles and obstacles are certain, but we must hang in there.

And in addition, few days this week I had severe calf cramps that would jolt me awake in the middle of the night, grr, numerous times.

Haha, and I seem to be have an affinity of mistaken identities.
unknown number - "It's your turn tml!"
mel - "er, may I know who is this?"
unknown number - "Is this not Melissa Lim?"
mel - "Melissa yes.. But not lim"
unknown number - *starts questioning me*, and after that, *starts apologizing for smsing the wrong number*
mel - "Wait, so you're not from SN? then how do you have my number?"
xinyi (name revealed) - "Oh, my brother knows you".

WHAT! ahhaha, okay, we continued chatting for quite a while, turns out her brother is some sec 3 guy I knew from AYLC, and I can't believe it's gonna be a year anniversary soon! & anw; Why can't 4 Feb be a FRIDAAAAY!

Yah, great. I can recieve the most randomest sms ever, but I don't get some of my proper smses. :( So idiotic, what if people get upset that I don't reply their text, when I never got it in the first place! Sigh, technology...

But on a higher (technology) note, A newwww tv! :)

Biology test today;
Essay Two; The skin is a waterproof structure, however there are chemicals that are able to penetrate through the skin. When a person dips her finger into a solution of such Chemicals, it can go into the circulatory system and is carried to the tongue. The person then experiences the sensation of taste. Explain with regards to the nervous system how the person experiences the taste

Sounds a little incomprehensible initially?

But I researched this out!
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is the chemical compound (CH3)2SO. This colourless liquid is an important "dipolar aprotic solvent." It is readily miscible in a wide range of organic solvents as well as water. It has a distinctive property of penetrating the skin very readily, allowing the handler to taste it. Some describe it as an "oyster-like" taste, others claim it tastes like garlic.

Tasting with your finger?
amazing.

"Hang in there, Mel! I'll will try to make you smile everyday in school which is easypeasylemonsqueezey"

-Huirou

Not just smile, laugh together! :)

And must not scratch our court shoes against each others again!

Push harder.

2010-01-16T01:06:00.000+08:00

Even before I start, I know this post is going to be incoherent.

Late photos;

1 Diligence'10.

Quite a lovely class to PSL. Hope I've been a good Peer Support Leader to them.

:) yay, Last Row - PSLs minus Shiyu! :(

Mel, Huirou, Tricia.

Such ultimate friends really.

Thank you.

Supposed beijing mates In photo, Mel, Huimin, Jeanette, Qiaoer.

Let's say we really went to Beijing, we'll be back tml.

Of course according to inside direct sources, (grr), it's extremely fun and enriching, but maybe it's a good thing that we couldn't go. I wonder how many of you all will agree with me now, looking back.

When I came back home from school, Life's section of horoscope really shocked me for one of the first few times. "You need to push harder to complete your agenda for today". Which really explained why some things didn't go as well as expected.. And I knew there were many challenges coming up, and we have just got to work as a team together to just smack all of those down. Go Dps! (:

Discipline, cause there's no time left. Yet, we need to emphasize that Attitude is key.

With attitude comes effort.

And yet, I'm being me again. Mental note; not to let emotions get the better of me. But sometimes, isn't it puzzling how the mind knows and rationalises everything, but emotions can severely cloud our judgement. And it's not just this thing. Great, yet another choice has presents itself, and it's far to tempting, but I've, though my wilder nature, came up with justifications. But yet, I know, maybe I should just say no. Thankfully there's still loads of time to make the decision. But time flies, we all know that.

Oh yes, before I forget.

From CME today,

"it's the heart that's afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance."

-The Rose, Westlife.

Our teacher made us translate it into Chinese!

Haha.

"Okay, I'm going to give you two worksheets for next week's test"

* Receives 2 worksheets.

"Staple these two worksheets together! They are meant to be together." -Ms Quek.

"Aww, so cute" -Grace.

*recieves yet another worksheet.

"Omg, a third party? that's quick!" -Grace

*recieves yet another worksheet.

"Great, we now have another. What, a fling?" -Mel.

I'll have to agree that that's pretty random.

And if you didn't get it. It's okay, it's just how stressed and lame we get.

The things we do to entertain ourselves?

But the whole post probably didn't make much sense, did it?

I probably no consistent blogging style.

Except apart from it being so loong. Haha, awesome.

With that, let's kick start yet another busy week in 2 days time. (:

Uh, Gastric, a new friend found.

2010-01-12T19:05:00.002+08:00

Considering the fact that I haven't actually studied for Geography test, I should make this quick.

"The GCE 'O' level results are out, and this year's top student with ten A1s is Lai Kai Rou from CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School.

This is the second year running that the nation's top student came from this school.

CHIJ St Nicholas had more reason to cheer. Out of the 44 students in Singapore who scored nine A1s, 14 students were from the school, in the institution's best showing ever.". /The Straits Times.

When it was announced, Tricia and I earned puzzled looks from Ms Quek from squealing so much! Haha!

Alright, that aside, I think I started having gastric, and I don't like it. :( Never really had gastric until on Wk1 of weds, I went for lessons and skipped sec one recess and then went to play with the sec ones during recess, then I had, I should say, one of my first gastric. I mean, gah, I know I skip quite a lot of meals and stuff, but to contract gastric! Oh no! Yup, Yesterday was seriously the most painful everrrrr, had gastric, then imediately ate cornflakes with cold milk, terrible mistake made, totally worsened the situation. :/ it was so horribly painful that I couldn't walk and laid on my bed. :( Probably some wake up call to stop skipping meals. Yet again today, had huahui's meeting, so just huffed down a piece of bread and went. Speaking of meetings, there's really gonna be quite some challenges for us. Sigh, but we'll TRY. And that's important right? :)

Charmaine had a feeling we'll miss the bus, so we RAN out of the mrt, and still
missed the bus by seconds! Haha, I tell you this always happens! And I don't know why! Haha!

Alright, oh something else quite weird. I think I haves case of mixed identity. Some girl thinks I'm J1 this year and we're smsing each other. She's from SN's one of course! Haha!

Morning jog tml, on the cement one lane track! Haha!

Day One, Week One.

2010-01-04T22:46:00.000+08:00

And I feel quite tired already.

At least the PSL-ing is going well. School Tour, Class Cheer and Identity Check! Secondary One assembly wasn't too messy too! haha!

Feel slightly overwhelmed talking about our timetable and everything! Sigh.

Huirou Huirou Huirou! Partners in Welfare'09 and Sitting Pals'10! :] Lovely!

:/ Grr. Mom thought it'll be good for me to see the doctor today, my shoulder injury is threatening to come back. Went all the way to see the doctor, and the chiropractor was away on some lecture! Sheessssh right!

Whoops, actually school was pretty slack today. We had a string of free period till recess, and then I played with the Sec Ones from 12 to 2.15 and came back for 10 minutes of Chemistry. And dismissal!

9' oclock break remains! Upper Secondary Exclusive. :) Yay! Best news of the day.

#1, the New Academic Year's Eve.

2010-01-03T21:53:00.002+08:00

And School Commences tomorrow.

I dont know what to expect from Sec Four, but this is what our mindsets are.
Sophia: "Let's go play tennis one day!"
Mel: "Sure, when when when?"
Sophia: "Let's see. School's starting.. What about March holidays?"
Mel: "Whatttt?"

Yes okay, I think we'll be this busy.
While looking at the 18 full pages of school maps, I got bored and I went to look at my horoscope! Hmm, it said, in March and April, I need to get at least 8 hours of sleep. That's good advice right? But it also predicted that May will be very very very stressful! :0, alright alright, the sleep part's quite good advice. The May part, is.. Well, isn't it all gonna be stressful? Please don't tell me it's jubilate! Haha, although I'm not sure if I'm involved in Jubilate. :/ hmm.

Another note, I watched finished HOT SHOT. Alright, slow, I know! But it's so timely that I finished in time for school! Well, it does talk a lot about determination and the will. Hmm, apt apt! haha.

Swimming with Sophia today was just amazing!

"Do you want to choke on your retainers and die? Stop playing with them!"
Yes, I haven't been able to get used to it still! :( And I think I have to get up twice as early to care for them. Brush them, soak them in colgate plax for 3 minutes.. Haha. And despite such TLC, my plastic retainers got a scratch! :(

I think, sister bonding this two days have been the best ever.

Okaaaaay, School Commences!

2009-12-31T21:19:00.000+08:00

Just in time for the last post of 2009! Just 3 more hours! Anyway, yes, I know each year I change. Secondary school has really been very, well, I can say, life changing. Okay, err, maybe I should save this for next year. Haha! This year, I'm glad to end of the year doing just the couple of things I always wanted to do. It was fate that I crumpled 1 of my senior's notes before farewell and I didn't give her but promised her a note. So yesterday, I sat down and emailed her. To my surprise, she told me that somethibg in the note, like some advice given was very apt in the note. That's a pleasant surprise really. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR (in advance)

I'll see you arnd next year! =)

T-e-n.

2009-12-31T01:30:00.001+08:00

I have decided. At each time, Only 10 posts shall be displayed for 2010. Only the 10 most recent ones. Anw, I shouldn't expect to blog much too right. T-e-n and that's it, the rest shall only remain with me.

Just got home from a family friends gathering. The night didn't disappoint me. T'was a good good good night. Just caught up with the bunch of friends that I kinda grew up with, or rather, they watched me grow up and it's quite funny how time flies. Most of them are working now. Yep, I'm youngest of the batch but I'm still really really thankful that this gathering happened. Retold the same classic stories. I'm still quite bloated. :/ Aunty cooked so much food, and she wanted us to clear it up so we played zhong ji mi ma and the loser had to eat something. I had chicken wings and ben&jerry, despite being very very full.

//edit, the photos are here!

The girls.

Sisters! =)

Great, eat the chicken wings as zhong ji mi ma penalty.

Have you set your new year's resolution?

Reflecting Reflex.

2009-12-30T00:03:00.002+08:00

How can it be 29 of December?

I don't know why I'm even asking. Great. I smell a long post coming up! I guess last week I freaked out about this week, thinking about how I should go out this week everything. But this week, I kinda realised that this week should be a week where I sit down, honestly and think.

Today, I thought PSL training seriously took the longest time ever. 8am to 1pm. I mean, that's considered super long to sit in class when you haven't been for like a month or so? Somehow during the session, I just saw school again. You know? I mean, okay, probably you don't know, cause I'm weird like that. But yes, next year, it's gonna be school again. Gonna be in class from 8 to 2 plus. If you haven't heard already, our school bells are the convent type now. The ultra true blue convent type, eg, dong dong dong. Sigh, and I know I'm going to miss giggling at the bells, especially when they clash. OR when someone has to pause speaking about something, and continue, only to be interrupted by the primary bell again or something. HAHA. oh the times. Oh, no more primary mei mei mens running around. Haha, actually not like we meet them very often too. :/ Ahya dots man, cause next year's gonna be like massive massive change.

Okay, back to year 2009. Whoops, I know maybe reflection should take place on the 31st of December or something. 2009 was a trying time for me I guess. Somethings just didn't go too well. Although 3 Diligence was really awesome. Uhh, lemme see, funnily, this year had a lot of awkward moments! Funny how I look back and think now. I did lots of packing yesterday, was filtering through my file, saw the little notes I wrote about each week as personal reflections. I didn't know what what what really to do with the papers. First thought for many would be to throw? But nay, somethings, to me, are for keeps. I know this year, it was a stretching year. There were times when I was so busy and when somethings don't go well, ohmygoodness, you just feel like crying and screaming your lungs out.

Anw, one thing I learnt from PSL training today was that you usually get what you put out there. Sometimes, you share your experiences then people will share with you theirs. So anw, Ernest shared with me about his fears for next year. And it was my time to share, and reflect about 2009.

Thought this was quite inspiring.

sweeter as the days go by says:

- well, upon reflection, you realise that the year's share of trials and testings really shape you in the person that the Lord wants you to be.

- Its really during these busy times that you cling on to God and you reflect on how blessed you are to be a christian.

- His will shall not lead you where His grace will not keep you

Anw, 2010 shall be a new decade and a fresh new start. It is kinda timely in a way then we're experiencing so much change maybe. I think I'm already accepting our new school compound. Yellow sulfur bits on the floor are still a little, weird. Of course, there are some cons like, far away blocks cause the structure is a bit weird. Haha, but I think it'll just be a fact of getting use to it. Assembly at the basketball court? Yep. Sorry I'm in assembly comm so I'm like assembly orientated. Haha.

Okaaay, how to end this? *cues Christina Aguilera's Reflection song.*

If I'm not wrong, I think I used to like it like in my younger days. Now I can't even remember it! Whoops. Shows how boring I get nowadays! Oh right, totally remember talking to Tricia yesterday night. She was, yes again, introducing K-pop to me. But I still don't get it. As in, I don't understand it what, then she was like "yes, but when you're in it, I think anything goes!"

ohmyg. done.

Disappointing.

2009-12-29T00:10:00.000+08:00

This sucks. Srsly. :(

I'm not exactly talking about the piles of homework I've left. It's just how someone disappoints you, but that person just doesn't know it. And you get all upset, but who is there to know. But maybe, not knowing is better? I don't know. But I smell it coming again. What if history repeats itself.

We really don't start appreciating until we see we're gonna lose it.

One more week of Living LIFE. Like it's Friday Everyday.

2009-12-28T00:06:00.002+08:00

Alright, so yet another week has passed. Christmas week!

Uhm, that also means that School will be starting in a couple of days time.

Sigh, mildly satisfied with this week la. A extreme mix of playing hard and working hard and of course, eating.

Vernon's house wii. A projection screen in his room. Haha!

Sorry, other pictures not out on fb :(

And tis' the season to be jolly. Junk Food like these plus KFC plus the must have- log cake.

Fruit Cake. Despite the not so attractive colour, it's yummy.

Kiwi, Yum. Strawberries, Yum, Peach, Yum. :D

Yummy yummy, it's like love in my tummy.

Sushi Christmas Lunccch!

Uhm, don't know how Sushi ties in with Christmas, but it was awesome!

Not forgetting Royce Chocolates with Champagne. Great little pleasures.

And now, do you conclude that Christmas's the season to get fat.

Thankfully this year's Christmas Gifts were all very useful and I liked them. Sister brought Royce Chocolate for me. Inclusive of Dark, I like! :D

Thankfully I didn't shop at MUJI that day, got lots of MUJI coloured pens!

*gasp* lucky lucky!

Christmas Party at Theodore's/Graham's house was err, alright, I guess. Before dinner was really weird, cause bonding games was a little, well, *raise eyebrows*, like, who can build the tallest towers with ice cream sticks. Huh?

Anw, okay, so my group lost. Why?

This is apparently the tallest tower, well, hung from the ceiling. Well, duh!

After BBQ, things got more interesting.

Grabble (someone said it's like scrabble, but on the ground!) plus card games.

Bridge and blah simultaneously. ahha, fun fun.

Yup, then table-tennis, then X-boxed with band hero. Not bad at all. (:

Alright, shall sleep now. (:

Anw, my classmates think my blog will serve as a distraction when school opens, but we'll see howww. ):

Uhmm, Next yeaar is a brand new start to a decade.

I could use a hug, or just lie on the grass with me.

2009-12-26T01:21:00.000+08:00

I think if anyone reads this post, they'll think I'm weird!

Haha, just ended like an hour of lecture from concerned parents. Ahya, all stupid shoe's fault, how blisters are not healing properly cause I walk too much esp in sch that day, so it keeps tears. Anw, details aside, it's just cause they don't understand why I still dont' know how to take care of myself. Anw, though, lecturing wasn't exactly the how I was looking forward to ending Christmas, or at the very least, expecting but it was quite good. In a sense. As in, sure I could use a hug and duh upload tumblr posts (I saved couple of days ago). Haha, but at least I could say how terrified I am now. Terrified of just starting a new year like that. Nightmares yesterday where everything slipped away from me were terrible. If you all know what I've been doing, I'm trying to exhaust the wild side of me. You know, before the school starts and all. And they wanted to know what's up with me. Script-ing stuff has not exactly been working out for me too. Just a couple of things not working out. Sums up everything [:

Life's simple pleasures. Monday plans will fail :(

Just the cutest.

You should hug me, cause of all the reasons above.

But above all, the last reason's the most apt, most impt, and of course, just the best.

Merry Christmas 2009

2009-12-25T01:47:00.002+08:00

Merry Christmas!

Vernon's House was quite fun la. Wii-ed most of the time. At first it was quite hard to settle down on the game. Everyone was having the "This game sucks, any game that I don't rock in, sucks." attitude. So we switched like 101 games. And the controller thing quite funny, did some impromptu stacking of poker chips and dvds to lift the controller up, Vernon kept adding and was so pleased by the extra inch. Oh, I remember the dumbest thing, Mel trying to hard to win the race only to find out that she lost so badly cause it wasn't even her! haha! Anw, then watched Iron Man!

Mel Tan, Danny, Jo Hsi, Kyran, Matthew, Vernon, Gayle, Cheryl, Mindy. Hmm, everyone except Joel came for outing, which is quite woah, usually people don't have time to come out for outings. At least, I don't know, my outings quite often fail! hahaha!

Anw, saw this message from Ade. I just have to agree with it. "Let down your hair this Christmas season before school starts" and "don't expect gifts from Santa, cause we uhh, don't have chinmeys!"

Oh, the random things you can do on Christmas! Anw, of course, writing my cards now whilst talking to Xinling. Just being crazy and all, I mean, playing songs. Sang so many songs! "Suddenly I see" and "I'm yours". Oh man, I love "I'm yours"! Besides, it reminds me of my group's 15SLC's performance, which everyone just stood up and ran around the audi in circles.

Ah, must go revive all the AYLC songs! Like Top of the world. And "That thing you do". Alright, the next time.

Rockin' around
The Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung
Where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around
The Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit
Ring later
We'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling

-Small part of Rockin' around the Christmas Tree by Aly & AJ.

Mistletoe!

ps, coolness.
Xinling: 'choose left or right'
Mel: "left left left! Actually, I usually say Right, I don't know why I said left!"
Xinling: 'What! Are you serious? I was just thinking if you said left then I'll place the roses on the right!'
'coolness!'

Merry Christmas'09.

Sorry, I just had to add this! This is hilarious! Note that some people took some!

I hope this ties in! I just thought this looked so great, season-ly and above all, yummy.

Anyone with a sweet tooth? Seasons Greetings!

Thissss just reminds me! Christmas NOTES! oh no oh no oh no!

Call me naive if you want. The Mind has the power! Singapore can snow, can't it?

Oh man, and I totally had to add this too. This is just the ultimate epic!

Last Christmas, George Michael

2009-12-24T02:53:00.000+08:00

Awesome, isn't it?

Aww, just the cutest.

Haha!

I like CS. Lewis! This also ties in with this;

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

(CHORUS)

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

(CHORUS)

[not the complete song], but I like this song too.

Pun intended. This rocks.

Against Tom? You mean against Mel too? Remote controls love to avoid me. Jigsaw puzzles.. Not as much.

Black lil' hole.

2009-12-24T02:41:00.000+08:00

School's out, scream and shout.

Red Headphones. Hope photo-edits were not too bad! :D

Knock knock, it's bedtime.

2009-12-24T02:34:00.001+08:00

"It is one of life’s bitterest truths that bedtime so often arrives just when things are really getting interesting."

Lemony Snicket (via kari-shma)

via quote book.

When will it be that interesting?

Ah, one plus week of the holidays left.

Thankfully, midnight billiard. Yeah, i can't stop harping on it, haha, cause I liked it loads. Just like how I wanted it to be. Wild, for the one plus week left.

ohmymymy! Ignore the tired looks on our faces. :/ Eyebags!

Christmas in Town

2009-12-24T02:23:00.000+08:00

Oh no, it probably doesn't look very artsy, but metallic chairs at 313 was quite nice!

I guess you can't please everyone. This is the only part of the Christmas Deco I like in town.

Daddy's Birthday Celebration

2009-12-24T02:18:00.000+08:00

Okay okay, I shall upload my photos in chronological order first okay! :D

First, Saturday's Dad's Birthday Celebration in advance!

Prawn with Wasabi was da domb. Ultimate. Really.

Sister and I.

Cut cake at home. Sis took the photo thus not in picture!

Doesn't the cake look so brought? I mean, it is brought, but it looks so nice!

Blue!

2009-12-24T02:10:00.000+08:00

Thankfully whatever feelings I felt blew over fast. Meeting up helped. Billiard was best. Anw, pardon me for the blog spams. This is EXACTLY why I cannot get a tumblr. Even though, it still defeats the purpose since I enjoy reading them! hahah! And then rebloging them!

Awesome Possum hilarious.

Sorry, I think it has to do with the fact that I was blue just now!

I'm fine.

2009-12-24T02:00:00.000+08:00

THE AVERAGE PERSON TELLS 4 LIES A DAY, OR 1460 A YEAR A TOTAL OF 88,000 BY THE AGE OF 60. AND THE MOST COMMON LIE IS: I'M FINE.

Thankfully, after Billiard with Charmaine, I'm fine! :D

Hurting. Why? Why? Why? Ugh.

2009-12-23T22:47:00.000+08:00

Sec One reporting day sparked off mixed feelings in me. Not so simple to pen things down here or something. Initally, needed a shoulder, but thankful for phones at the very least! Haha, introducing myself as a Sec 4 triggered some again, indescribably mixed emotions too. Everything's zooming so fast, really.

Emceed = Had to pretend that walking, (read; stretching blisters) was totally alright and not the least pain. Was really okay, until people started noticing me bleeding thru my socks. Then took out my shoes and then the teachers were so worried. Haha, Pan Lao Shi started to think I sprained my leg cause I was limping, then everything happened, and I was summoned to the canteen where Mr Yeo nearly went to take ice for me, cause I "sprained" my foot, until clarifications came about. Then Mr Jega and Mr Yeo and Pan Lao Shi sat me down and gave me plasters to stick on each one of them. Quite hilarious cause Mr Yeo exhausted the 7 plasters in at least one portion of the first aid kit. Srsly, I was like laughing all the way, and saying it's a small matter. Pan Lao Shi was like "SMALL MATTER?!".

Took the Circle Line home. (: Had fun with Tricia's memorise MRT test.

But smiling though being in physical pain is nothing compared to smiling despite it hurting badly inside.

PSL training gaaah! I thought next week would be a week for me to be wild again! Been so tamed this holiday, feel like I have to let it all out before taming down again. Sigh.

Hunger..

2009-12-22T18:43:00.001+08:00

Forgot to eat lunch yesterday and today. No appetite for dinner today too. Not that I was stressed out or anything, but I just didn't feel hungry. Was a bit worried, until Mom told me today that it may just be the retainers. Like cause retainers make you feel like you're chewing a tasteless gum. Disgusting, yah, a little.

That's a relief, I thought what was wrong with me. [:

313, and extended. =)

2009-12-22T18:05:00.000+08:00

Planned for a short dinner, but turned out shopping and doing random stuff for quite a while. Yesterday was extremely fun, I would say, like a surreal adventure. Hahaha! Oh no, I guess it's just has been such a while that I truly let down my hair and just had fun doing stupid things that no one will judge you about. Commenting about Christmas Decos, searching/learning about boots, Smelling paper made from stone or consumers waste, trying on bathrobes etc. Borders at a certain section was really awesome. Haha.

Blarney.
Used as, He blarneys her with the most shameless compliments.

Tried to break court shoes, so they wouldn't bite me during thriller, and I ended up with 9 blisters. One massively huge one despite being armed with plasters.

YF camp.

2009-12-22T17:55:00.000+08:00

I have no idea why I didn't blogged for so long! Oh right, I had camp.
Alright, so camp wasn't too bad after all. Hmm, in fact, they are so like crazy. Forfeits could even involve kissing on the ear of some same gender person, or like someone having to eat my hair. Yup, I had to go up to this guy who was sleeping and rub his head till he woke up. :0 hahaha, thankfully he understood it was a forfeit. [:

We each had to force a guy in our grp to paint their nails. Haha, not bad not bad, I think the guys enjoyed it la, not much forcing was required.

Amazing race was the ultimate all over the place! Botanic Gardens, to Ikea, to Little India, to Vivo City and then to Marina Bay. Not bad? Yup.

Fell sick during camp despite trying to take care of myself. Didn't eat any heaty stuff such as fried wonton, and thus mainly only ate vege each meal. Part of the reason was cause my teeth were hurting from initial days of retainers.

Last night was called, Chill Out, apparently, no lights out, but cause I was sick so I slept at 2.45, hmm-m, considered quite early. Heard lots of people stayed up the entire night. Wii-ed the whole night.

"At 13, staying up all night dancing / playing to wii, that means you're a future clubber." -Danny.

Hmm, I guess I won't be one then?

Convos in spanish.

2009-12-14T03:18:00.001+08:00

/edit, removed all the screenshots,

So a random spanish person added me and and he/she said she wanted to know me. Both of us were using the google translator. How lame.

The dumbest part?

In spanish; person -- "Do you speak spanish?"

In spanish; me -- "yes, I don't"

person: "???"

:/ And it got really irritating after I kept saying I don't know you, goodbye, he/she started nudging me and playing kiss emotions. :/ And he/she talks with a 100 emotions replacing letters! What the ling ling ding dong right, it's so messy!

AND ANYW, I'm speaking to Charmaine on the phone right, then we were JUST like battling a cockroach! HAHA, cause there's a cockroach in her room. But no, she gave in, DESPITE having a sister to be there to discuss battle plans against the cockroach too, she went to wake her Dad up. Tsk!

Okay, so anyway, Church Camp here I come. I mean, I'm surely going to enjoy it, cause apparently everyone tells me it's gonna be super super fun and stuff. Okay okay, Thank you for those who talked to me. (:

OFF TO CAMP. WILL MISS YOU.

Photos with Xinling!

2009-12-14T03:03:00.000+08:00

HAHAH. Guppy?

YAY.

YAY

Imitate!

Whirl!

First attempt. Then got critised by Xinling who said, hey, post on your blog and say, look at the height difference!

Second Attempt! :D Better? hahah

I don't know what I'm doing. :/

I like this! :D

HAHAHA. Xinling, you look so heck care!

Scary.

Victim!

Scared? If you look closely, I'm like smiling. HAHA.

stoned. Pretty much

007 in girl version. Out in all major Dvd stores now!

(Xinling! If you rmb, this was our performance line!) :D

Haha! Look at the guy beside me looking super super priceless-ly shocked.

Total Cuteness. =D

Again! :D

Cheese

Convincing enough a not?

Heehee! LOOK!

AHHH, ZAPPED.

This has been happening a few days. Talking to very depressed friends.

Hmm, apparently, the festive season really does get some people a little depressed. Just my $0.02 worth.

Anyway, I get a bit creeped by this above picture. It's like, I'm so happy talking to the depressed person. Haha, maybe there could be a story behind it. *snaps fingers for all my men to take my pen and paper. Haha, nah, I'm really tired of writing the script alrdy!

Above! I FORCED her to be joker. And guess what I am!

I'm QUEEN. Geddit! :D

Oh, wind blew so messy hair! But anyway, read the words!

LET'S HMMM

You know what I mean. =D

[Xinlinggggg! Sorry, no time to upload on fb! cause I did WORK! :D Haha, kope from here.]

If a picture speaks a thousand words, I think you've read 10-thousand plus alrdy! Congrats! :D

Oh, I went audition on Saturday with Xinling! And then of course, being girls.. Look at what we did!

Cause I'm dreading it.

2009-12-14T01:58:00.001+08:00

So yup, I guess you won't be seeing me for a couple of days. Going for Youth (Church) Camp.

And don't read this. Cause it's just gonna be a bore.

I mean, the fact is that I don't want to go. I don't know if its the "city disease" where you want to stay, like, in contact. You know? I'm not gonna charge my phone. So I'm guessing it'll die within max 3 days? Sigh. And not being able to finish my work before camp, or at least most of my work just engulfs me with guilt. Like, script, I tried so hard so hard to rush. But no, I still took a long long time. But 4000 Chinese characters is a long long time. And it really has all my sweat in it. :( Pls tell me it'll work out.

Everyone thinks I should go. Cause well, I'll make new friends and it's gonna be very very very fun and all. Sigh, *laughs to self*, I don't know? Maybe I'll come back all happy and with friends and learn many many new things. It's just the apprehensive feeling cause I don't really know anyone there.

Oh wellls. It's tml! I'll warm myself up to be happy!

And how do I make myself happy? Upload Xinling and Mel's moments of camwhoring! :D I'm easily happy.

Previously I was fourteen.

2009-12-12T01:18:00.001+08:00

Mel is fifteen!

Anw, cause fb lags so much, I only finished thanking people now. And of course, to catch up with them! It was pretty fun lah, actually. It's good to catch up, yesyesyes?

:D And a great big thank you to those who wished me via msg and msn. <3

And GLOS (Tricia, Hsiaowei, Huirou, and Janice), a special thank you! For singing, okay, screaming the Happy Birthday song. Thank you, for also being such great friends. :D

And I always thought fifteen goes with fabulous or fantastic fifteen. Apparently, now there's flirtatious fifteen! hahaha! And Jin Kai, omg, for being the only one who admitted that' I'm fifteen and shy! HAHAH! And Shu's msg was so cute. Two msgs. =D

:( Sorry for not mentioning everyone, but THANK YOU!

Anyway, the first few hours of being fifteen turned out to be a lesson. Because, read this girls. There was a cockroach in my room!!! (cues screaming) :(, and my dad couldn't catch it, cause it hid somewhere. :( Anyway, my dad went to sleep and left me to battle with it alone okay! I mean, duh, I had Charmaine on the phone at that time. Yes, Thank You! For like, a while more. And then, she had to go! Ohmy, then I thought, oh, let's be fifteen and brave. So I went to wash up, the moment I open the toilet door, I saw another huge cockroach. And I didn't let out even a whimper okay! Then, I rang Shermi up to discuss battle plans! Then, as I wasn't getting so scared anymore, the cockroach had to be hyperactive and run about. I was like, terrified okay. :( But I decided to be fifteen and brave and brace myself up for the situation. Of course, all the while whining that some girls, (at least me) are super weak and useless against these things! hahaha! And I told her, this is where Edward Cullen will come in handy with. HAHA, cause he can come anytime (within secs?), apparently thru the window ._. and like since he doesn't need to sleep, right? And a huge plus point, he could eat the cockroach! I mean, could he? There's no blood right?

Anyway, hahahha! So I owe a super big Thank You to Charmaine and certainly Shermi for braving the storm with me!

Isn't it these lil' things that teach us to grow up? HAHAH. Ohmy! Having said that, will the cockroach come and harass me tonight! :( *shudders*

Anywayyyyyy, the cockroach was never caught. :( So everyday, I'm fifteen and brave and sleeping in the room in the presence of a cockroach okay! *whimpers*

Yesterday was fun. DIPS (Directors in Partners) met up at Yishun, (so we could eat at Jap foodcourt)! And then later Vivian (dp), Qiao Er, and Jeanette came over. On the pretext of discussing CCA fair. But, alas, I don't think we got anything done. Cause today and yesterday, was set aside to slog for huahui's script.

20.03.10 - You seem so far, and so hard to grasp.

In a way, I need to get things off my chest. :/ Sigh.

Cause I'll never be fourteen again.

2009-12-08T17:39:00.000+08:00

Because tml, I'll be fifteen.

I still reserve the right to think I'm getting shy, cause it feel odd talking without braces. So I ain't talking much!

Cause dance practice was called off today, I went to watch New Moon.

And this just sums it all. Seriously.

:( sorry for anti-twi-ling.

I do like shiny things. But there are exceptions.

And New Moon was boring :(

I didn't say this. But again, sorry for anti-twilighting! HAHAHA.

Stairs like these are cool right!

I want these.

Jk, I checked online, and they don't sell these. :(

---

Anyway, this is crazy. But I want to get two retainers! And my mom supports me fully.[:

I hope the dentist don't think I'm crazy.

Anyway, Birthday Dinner tonight. (:

I want a tumblr. Cause you can repost things like these so easy. And post pretty pretty pictures.

But I shan't give in to temptation, cause I'll write lengthy posts all the time anyway! :D And tumblr, robs you of your time. *scroll scroll*

Cause, I need to go out now.

Do you get it?

I have a question for you.

2009-12-08T01:51:00.001+08:00

Do you have a name? Or can I call you mine?

:( It's not good meh. Sophia doesn't get it, despite 5 minutes of explanation in English then Chinese.
And Shermi thinks it's cheesy and corny :(

Rah.

Met up with Qiao Er, Jeanette, Huimin, bascially dadaos this morning. 7 Dec. Comtemplated taking a grp photo and pretending we're in Beijing. :/

WITHOUT DENTAL BRACES.

2009-12-08T01:03:00.000+08:00

Finally.

Quotes Dentist; "Wow, you had treatment for 2 years 10 months? That is extremely long! Usually my patients only take like, a year half, plus minus half."

Anyway, rah, taking out the rings of the braces was excruciatingly pain. Like, trying to yank out your tooth or something. Actually, only one was pain lah. Cause my previous dentist cemented it in very very securely, according to my current dentist.

I want to go around and like dance in the rain. Only that it isn't raining! :( Cause you have no idea what teeth freedom is like. To be fifteen in two days without dental braces. At the very least, it means I can take photos without my family complaining that I shouldn't smile by showing my braces in photographs, cause it's so ugly, it spoils everything.

:( Brainstorming script ideas with dp (Director partner). Oh, was. Until I got abandoned by her which is forgivable because she saw a huge rat in her house, and she ran away. Haha, she heed my advice to yell, then the rat went to hide, and so she gave in and she ran away.

Vivian, means life.

2009-12-04T01:21:00.000+08:00

Awww. Vivian, you rock, you're the best junior ever too! :D

I don't know about you, but I think this series of Singapore Kindness Movements are very well done! Really cute and simple. I like!

Wednesday with Charmaine!

2009-12-04T01:15:00.000+08:00

Her parents treated me at Shashlik Restaurant first. It's a fantastic Russian restaurant at Orchard Far East Building There. Apparently, a very old restaurant.

Borshsch

It's apparently a Ukrainian vegetable soup which is traditionally cooked with beetroot as the main ingredient, hence the characteristic strong red colour.

Main course was Ox Tail. Haha, Ox Tail is surprisingly a lot bigger than you think it is okay! Like, we only ate, like a segment of it as our main course. (:

Contemplated taking photo, but you can't see much cause the environment's a lil' dim plus the ox tail is soaked with the gravy so you can't see much. Anyway, I didn't take the above photos either.

Peekaboo! :)

Matching red! Haha.

Talk with your hips. uh huh!

Yah lah, the people are very tall okay!

Posing with tiny water fountains.

Haha, okay okay, credits Charmaine for snapping when there's 3 water spurts! :D

Watch out! I'm gonna splash you, Just Kidding!

YUP. So we just went around taking a gazillion photos! These are just like the tip of the icebergs. Were we being typical tourist, or being typical girls? haha. :) Getting into the Christmas mood, yes?

Invest Fitting.

2009-12-04T00:19:00.001+08:00

Tailor on Tuesday! With Xiumin.

): Took forever to get there okay! Like 2 hours, only to spend 2 minutes there.

Gamers who console themselves.

2009-12-03T23:57:00.001+08:00

Imagine; Megan prancing into the bathroom.

2009-11-30T01:54:00.000+08:00

Megan says:

haha WHAT

NEVER CONCEDE, MEL

Mel says:

HE DOES ROCK OKAY

Megan says:

heeheehee

Mel says:

HAHAHAHHAHA

Megan says:

this is such a miracle omg

i am very happy

i shall prance into the bathroom now.

Megan is so cute.

And Elizabeth, whom I'm smsing now, is amusing me too.

Hong Kong 2009. :)

2009-11-30T01:46:00.001+08:00

The plane back was packed. Fully booked! So my family had to be scattered in random seats all over the plane!

Anyway, okay, HK was enjoyable. It was a short trip, no doubt, but unbelievably when it's short, you rush to shop. So it was pretty much tiring! Srsly, can you imagine getting up at 9am in really really cold environment and then shopping (read: walking) till like 12 midnight? That's when we'll take the MTR (read: MRT) back. Their' MTR exits links to the hotels, so it's really convenient! Anyway, irony thing is, the hotel was much much colder than outside. On the streets, wearing like a simple cardigan or even not wearing is perfectly fine!

Unique Christmas Tree! :D Cool huh?!

Shimmering Shiny Squeaky Glossy Gold (Alliteration) Lifts! That's sister and I.

[We tried taking a bigger one, but embarrassed ourselves when it opened, so we didn't try anymore.]

Above? In case you're wondering. It's Fried Pig's Intestines. Haha.

Oh, Crayfish. Speaking of which, I don't understand why people eat it. It's more costly, plus it's so difficult to peel, like my dad was helping us, plus, after all the hard work, there's little meat, and to top it all off? It taste quite like prawn what!

I mean, okay, I admit, I'm not exactly a gourmet. We ordered Foie Gras with chicken and they taste quite similar what! I mean, unless I didn't eat any Foie Gras.. They were both covered in dark dark dark sauce.

Tim Sum place! Haha, and out of pure goodwill, they gave us free walnut dessert! Okay, maybe cause it isn't exactly a popular dish. No one in the restaurant was eating the "dessert of the day" and we enquired casually about it. Then after settling the bill, they said, they wanted to treat us. Haha.

XO "carrot cake". Apparently, a must try Tim Sum in HK.

Roast Goose, errrrr.. HK's specialty right? And honey glazed char siew. Yum Yum.

You hungry yet?

Plus, the Christmas decos were quite extravagant, makes you feel the festive mood, y'knw?

Like, the indoors had all these cute cute things you could take photo with.

Brought new court shoes. Ones that are more dance-friendly. I mean, compared to pointed ends, these round tips should do the trick. And I was immediately attracted to the Gold! :D Maybe men aren't the only visual creatures arnd.

Does this give you an idea of how much shopping we did? I mean, we brought 10 over pairs of shoes. Haha, note the shoe boxes? Yup! I brought 4 pairs of shoes plus 1 pair of school shoes!

On a separate random noteee;

Had quite interesting convos today!

There's a lot of more ego people out there! Haha, yes, so I'm not ego queen! :D

Also, WIN:

Mel - Starts with a K!

Charmaine - Huh? Hint!

Mel - Usually silver?

Charmaine - Metal?

Mel - Er, yesyes, quick lah, so simple!

Charmaine - CHEY, CAR LAH!

Mel - Car?!?! What?

Charmaine - YAH! "KAR"

Mel - Car doesn't start with a "K!"

Charmaine - No.. Omymymy! YAH!

Mel - KEY. Sheesh.

Another convo had some assumption that I was going Bei Jing. (for like the third time)

Where in "good lah you, going BJ in 8 days" suggested that I was also going to Beijing?

Haha, Singlish gives rise to being misunderstood. :(

Anyway, if I was going BJ right, I have to complete my work like now. Which obviously isn't the case. Haha, yes yes yes, study study study! I said I would after I came back from HK. But obviously having some trouble transmitting into "homework" mode. :( Bummer!

Okay, so cheers, rambling's all done for the day.

Hotel. :) Ignore the tired look on my face please. It was like 1am in the morning when we reached our hotel.

SMRT CEP.

2009-11-25T01:48:00.000+08:00

Today really was quite energy draining lah, surprisingly more erm, mentally. When I came back, I slept on the couch for 2 whole hours! Then got up to pack, so I'm now quite tired again. Haha. Grr, but I must be very tired tml, so I can easily fall asleep on the plane tml, else I'll feel very sick. Gah.

Anyway, today was ehhh-tremely tiring okay. Actually I also don't know why. Woke up at like 6.30 to go to Pei Ying Primary for SMRT CEP - community emergency plan. Hahah, the whole morning, we had to listen to lectures and videos and take a test okay! So now I'm certified! :0, yup, then later, the hands on was like, afternoon. It was quite slack seriously, sat in AMK mrt and started talking to my group mates for an hour. Anyway, was talking to two AJC guys and this Orchid Park Secondary School girl and just talking about everything. Apparently the O.P.S.S girl said all the IJ girls have a unique voice! Anyway, the world is so small. I met her before; during HCISLC earlier this year. Ah, but I don't think we'll meet again, plus, we didn't exchange contacts. Haha! Dismissal was abruptly like, go find your teachers, they'll dismiss you.

Hmm, and I also realise people have a trouble differentiating all the IJ schools. Haha. Anyway, the quite fun part was going to Bishan depot lah. Then there was this "fire" in the train, so we had to stay calm and evacuate and walk on the rails or something. And there were suspicious articles planted around and even this "wanted" man. I mean, he was one of the facils, and woah, the police had to chase him, but he was kinda smiling from ear to ear, so that spoil the chasing drama.

Anyway, although today was quite tiring, plus the waiting (talking) time would make you quite restless, I really felt the impact that we should not take security in Singapore for granted. Sigh, the threat is really real.

Hong Kong, here I come! (Yes, why so many people going HK this year ah?)

Buttercup baby.

2009-11-23T23:41:00.000+08:00

Why do you build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup baby just to
let me down (Let me down)
And mess me around
And then worst of all (Worst of all)
You never call baby
When you say you will (Say you will)
But I love you still
I need you (I need you)
More than anyone darlin'
You know that I have from the start

So build me up (Build me up)
Buttercup
Don't break my heart
I'll be over at ten
You tell me time and again
But you're late
I wait around and then
I went to the door
I can't take any more
It's not you
You let me down again

Baby Baby
Try to find a little time
And I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be waiting beside the phone
Waiting for you.

Why do you build me up....
To you I'm a toy
But I could be the boy
You adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you
All the more
Why do I need you so Baby Baby.....

ooh ooh ooh
Why do build me up .....

-McFly.

Haha, it's no doubt old! But it's like stuck in my head! Catchier than you think it is okay! :D

Ah yah, why did I go school today! see Cheer Practice, haha, although I did have a fun time screaming at them to align properly. For a short little while lah! Anyway, seeing SN's track being geared up for Sports day was a bit painful for me. As in, to know I won't be there for that. :(

Haha, on a higher note. HONG KONG [:

Backstage.

2009-11-22T01:24:00.002+08:00

After LD S, Megan, Shu, Charmaine and I went to eat Subway, and this random guy introduced himself to them as my brother.. Right.. It was a interestinggg *raise eyebrow in a slightly creeped out manner* experience. Haha, but in the midst of like asking for our schools and all, Shu spilled her drink, so like, we were all squealing, (omg, girls) and he kindah didn't want to get involve, so he excused himself to sit at the next table. HAHA!

Anyway, Megan and Charmaine played tap tap on the whole journey back. And I took photos (as you can see) while waiting for the train. Ah, the things we do.. Haha.

Backstage, LD's showcase was really quite good. Some really hilarious scenes, and some thought provoking ones. Written by Shu Qing; The Running Tap was really my favorite. She says she got inspired because we take things for granted too much. You never know, one day, like a running tap, our memories will go down the sink. It's about this grandfather going senile. Ah, it's really worrying sometimes. My parents, you know? When you really see someone with senile dementia, it's really heart wrenching.

Anyway, on a separate note, shoot, I really ought to feel more stressed for Qi Hang 13.03.10. GAH.

Random Photography.

2009-11-22T01:12:00.000+08:00

Yup, had some time on my hands today. Hence the random photography. Lemme give you an epic example of why you should listen to your parents. So today, I was going for a swim. I thought, it looks bright, it's not going to rain right? But my dad looked out, took a whiff of the air and said, "umm, but it might rain later!". Unconvinced, I took a whiff and questioned my dad. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "well, I can't say for sure right?" So I thought, nay, it's too bright, far too bright. And yes, you're right. My dad drove me down, and it started raining. Wonderful. Haha!

Hmm, the last one's the cover page for a chick lit lah! Don't read too much into that! Tsk.

The space we've been in for nearly a year now.

2009-11-22T01:01:00.000+08:00

What's left of 3D'09's classroom. For once, it looks really spacious. Haha.

To Kill a Mockingbird.

2009-11-20T17:33:00.001+08:00

Just something extra that I wanted to write. (:

Been doing literature essays all day long since I came back from Tennis at 10am okay! :)

Harper Lee is such an excellent writer. “To Kill a Mockingbird” deals with serious themes such as prejudice in all forms, specifically racism and bravery. He cleverly shows hypocrisy in many areas where the town’s sweet and puritan façade is dismantled to reveal an underside full of disgusting lies.

Symbolism is aplenty in the novel. One obvious show on how skin colour has no or limited links to the individual’s true worth when Jem makes the base of the snowman with mud, and then successfully temporarily changes the “morphodite” from black to white with the coating of little snow. But the fire comes and the snowman is once again transformed to mud and is black.

The Mockingbird motif arise a total of four times, each time the mockingbird represents innocence but in different aspects.

“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”

One important construction this fabulous novel is how there is a distinctive narrative point of view. Jean Louise Finch, a.k.a Scout recollects using her adult’s voice which adds hindsight to the story. But she maintains her innocent outlook of a child and this injects bits of humour and enlivens the serious themes. Her innocence and ignorance is seen when she kicks the member of the mob. She says that she meant to kick his shin “but she aimed too high, and was surprised to see him fall back in real pain”.

In the same sense, humour is also injected because of the children’s tendency to simplify complicated matters such as procreation. This is seen when Dill and Scout plans to get married and have babies.

The children' tendency to simplify all these things. Peter Pan Syndrome? Yes please. It's no wonder they say Sagittarius don't like to grow up. Hahaha!

HYPER. [:

2009-11-20T00:27:00.000+08:00

That's pretty much blogging again today. I must go to bed now. It's funny how I'm quite exhausted today, and how I need to get up at 7am tml (TENNIS! Provided it doesn't rain). But the brain just tries to keep up with the appearance and comes up with all the hyperness! Yes, those who know me, I sometimes get hyper high when I'm tired. Haha, in fact, a lot of people do. Seniors, and like, Xinling.

(: People are back from camp. I'm hungry for playmates. HAHAHA. No no, Francine, not spiders!

=D -yes this cheeky smile.

Fighting Spiders. Yes, it's gung ho, okay! :D

2009-11-20T00:20:00.001+08:00

Yup, and Ms Lee was saying how "Kampong" Felicia and I were, walking to school like that. Look at this. Hahah. The crazy things we do when School's out. Ah, and we complain about the lack of time. The mind works wonders sometimes. Yet again, why can't we capture these minutes? And release them later? Nevertheless, very thankful for the temporary breather.

Erina [:

2009-11-20T00:15:00.001+08:00

It's good to catch up with friends. Erina! (: That's enough said. Although I failed to amuse her cause her memory failed to remember what happened when she was p2, with my friend.

uh, are we getting old?

/edit;
HAHA. OKAY, this paragraph goes out to her Highness, Erina the Queen. The awesome friend. Hahah. (That means I'm the queen's friend! ) :D

Social Interview.

2009-11-19T23:33:00.000+08:00

HAHAHA, I saw this on facebook;

Social interview asked one of my friends what would she do if she were elected President tml.

She said, "Allow ALL MINORS TO DRIVE!!! Why do you think the whole lot of us always late? CAUSE BUS LATE WHAT!!!''

This is hilarious. Reminds me of a painful experience where I missed this bus, and upon seeing that I was going to be late for huahui's moving at 9, I just ranned to the next destination. Thankfully, I caught the next bus, and I just reached on time okay! Even had a couple of minutes to chat with the bookstore auntie. And in the end, Shalom Movers were really delayed, so we had to stone and wait till 2.30. Sheesh.

Walking in the rain 1 hour 20 minutes.. (:

2009-11-19T22:59:00.001+08:00

(: HAHAHAH. I walked to schooool! With Felicia.

Fel and Mel [: Okay, fine, she prefers to be called Felicia. Anyway,today was a whooping monsoon-type-of-rain wet day. Yah, anyway, along the way, she was like, "can we get tanned while walking in the rain?". My first response was like, "no right?". But then again, there are UV rays still what! Okay, maybe not enough to get tanned? Sheesh. Nevermind, good question. Haha, -- although, okay, that does sound slightly bimbotic.

Splashing' good time [:

On a totally random note, in order to capture a Pokemon, you will injure it someone with that ball, poke-ball or whatever it is called right. Ah, I think it says something about life. Oh, was just thinking about capsules. Like time capsules. Why cant we capture free time and use those little minutes and all afterwards. I know I have random thoughts.

I want to play billiard okay. That is my current craving! Felicia, why you don't want to! tsk.

The need to use forks and knives to eat grapes.

2009-11-18T21:30:00.000+08:00

Yup, Dental was on Monday. Anyway, for the sixth time, the dentist found new problems my teeth created and had to delay taking those dental braces out. Ah, each tightening causes side effects. And my teeth likes to oppose what the dentist had in mind.

I think widening the jaw is the most painful. Been 3 days, and can still barely eat. Skipped breadfast today, plus swallowing noodles for lunch and mashed fish and eggs with rice for dinner. Mmm. And the need to use knife and fork to eat grapes. Hahha, yes, give me the "L" sign.

Ms P said it's such a pity she hasn't seen me without braces.
-

Last daoyan lesson on Tuesday. Blocking was surprisingly fun to learn. Two people being too ego will not work in a relationship. Nor being too shy. Ah, that's when all the drama can arise.

13/03/10 - Qi Hang. I think we're srsly running out of time. Theme's not out, nor scripts.

I had a dream about WWIII. And I was told not to move. So for the entire night, I didn't move! Imagine the stiffness I felt when I awoke. Anyway, I had this other dream too. Which would have been like, a cool play, but only too gruesome. ):

Baileys and Ice Cream, anyone?

2009-11-15T21:43:00.000+08:00

I have a very irrational yearning for some tasty alcohol, preferably Baileys and ice cream.

: D heh heh heh.

Ah, how do I stop this lil' craving! And besides, I don't have ice cream! :'(

Where can I register for Imagination?

2009-11-15T21:37:00.000+08:00

Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

-Albert Einstein

I want to go into imagi nation! And get my imagination. Grr.

I know I'm not one who will sit down and churn a script out like a machine. I need inspiration. Need to think!! These few days, been reading script books. Each encoded with a different message, each for you to figure out. Unique to each individual watching the play. That's the magic of drama, of theatre. Ah, Palette's a gd example. I need to have a message that I want to convey. But I don't. You know?

Maybe you all are right. I only write love stories.

Yes, J (Director Partner, I think, better not disclose first! haha), let's work on a love story. And we shall incorporate __ -your idea. [:

[P.s: Spamming posts are an indication that I'm super bored to pieces. Honestly, watched "World's luckiest Man" on rented dvd, (which totally sucked, and Bosco Wong could not even neutralise the effect. Haha, and the only reason my sister borrowed it was because of him? :/ zxcz, no comments. HAHA.)

Of course, watching Boston Legal was ultimately still the best. Missed it so much! (: I love how they can turn preposterous things into things that make sense. Now now, baby, each episodes has it's own unique message indirectly by those lawsuits.

Ah, but I'm not so much of a passive person you know. Today, wanted to swim, but then at 5, then it threatened to rain, so I called off plans. Only to be tricked, cause it didn't rain (it didn't right?). Yupppxczx. So I just spend my day indoors, watching tv all day. I got to spice things up. Ah sucks. ): Thankfully, I'm reading "Where have all the boys gone?" by Jenny Colgan. Quite interesting, only that I'm re-reading the front cause I stopped for two three weeks, and I cannot remember some details. HAHA. And I don't want to msn, cause then I might sleep late. And I want to sleep early. Oh no, you have got to stop listening to me grumble and rumble about rants that equate to nothing at all. HAHAHA.

Okay, good. I'm done ranting.

Except that' I'm still puzzled by three cuts on my back, below my neck. Someone offer an explanation? My mom's like freaked out. I think. HAHA. She counted four cuts. But only three are pain.

Bye [:

Pandas in Singapore <3

2009-11-15T21:08:00.000+08:00

Thought this would be apt, since China will be loaning two baby pandas to Singapore for a 10-year period, as part of a collaboration between the China Wildlife Conservation Association and Wildlife Reserves Singapore to mark the 20th anniversary of Sino-Singapore relations. (:

Aye, but don't get too excited, we won't see these pandas so soon. They'll only arrive in late 2011, plus the quarantined for a month, in addition, there is also the further 5 months of acclimatisation. Haha, okay, yes, "wait-long-long"

Rah, I have to admit that I think specs are so smexy partly cause they can cover up your panda eyes. :/ I need to get rid of those panda eyes. And yes, contrary to popular belief, I do have lots of eye bags. Go and see those photos closely again. Rawr!

Twits, Twerps, Kiddies. (:

2009-11-15T20:58:00.000+08:00

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.”

-Albert Einstein.

I'm going to miss how Ms Praba calls us (affectionately, I may add) twerps, or twits, or kiddos/kiddies, or I remember how my Sec two Literature in English file was yellow, and when I used yellow Zig Clean Colour pen to write my content page (of course, nearly invisible to the naked eye), she called me idiotic child.

(: Amazing how we still love her. Yes, she'll be dearly missed.

Specs are smexy [:

2009-11-15T18:06:00.001+08:00

Ah, been scrolling and reading at the Red' badge's blog. It's so fast that they're taking their A Levels now, I mean, we haven't kept in contact for pretty long now. It's quite sad though.. ): Ah, all these triggered cause I saw Yi Ling studying at Bishan NL. She first gave me a sheepish look, which made me look at her. Then, I gave her this sheepish smile too and I think it was a mutual feeling of "are you who I think you are?". And yes, she is who I think she is. Why didn't I wear specs! Ah, ciliary muscles, buck up!

Y'knw, that sheepish look can really sink into you as cold hard terrifying cold guilt. Sigh.

Anyway, all the best for your A Levels okay! (:

uhmm, On a higher note! My Girlfriend is an agent is simply hilarious. Watched it last night. Of course the plot is somewhat similar to Mr and Mrs Smith, which I particularly liked too. But anyway, that's more of actions, I think. This was like, comedy TTM, srsly, and Ji-hwan Kang, the male lead is a new actor! Of course, he just got a prize. To be new and this good? Omy.

And I'm into some smexy mood after the show. Of course, undeniably, the female lead was very hot, but she looked really good with specs! Hahah. Yay, I shall comtemplate buying my 4th specs! In my defence, 3rd, since one has somewhat spoilt. [:

Ah, most haven't seen me wearing my white specs right! HAHAHA. I shall post photo taken in china.

Heehee.

Esplanade Library.

2009-11-14T16:36:00.000+08:00

I've been hearing lots about Esplanade Library. Shall explore in sometime.

Not next week though.
Monday 9am, Huahui loading goods and moving to the new sch.
Huahui, for the bulk of the week.
And Tennis. [:

Oh and braces dental. Cross fingers!
Owch.

Lil' Wire Creations. Anyone wants to name them? HAHA.

2009-11-14T16:27:00.003+08:00

[: My tiny lil' wire creations. They'll be responsible for making scripts on paper, become characters in a lil' stage of their own. Ah, gravity. I'm falling into this whole drama thing again. :( I know I'll be Sec 4 next year, but I really might go and catch Li Xie's 棺材太大，洞太小。

:/ I should go watch beauty and the beast too? (Wildrice) I mean, before that, I thought, nah, I should save that 40 dollars and spend it in Beijing, but since BSC is canceled (yup, you've heard? H1N1).

Anyway, did some relinking and all. Then I realised that a lot of people gave up blogging cause it takes too much time, I guess. Ah, but it's cathartic to blog and rant sometimes, you know? I feel. Oh, and so many are changing to tumblr. mmhmm, the convienience does seem quite enticing. But cause blogger gives quite a bit of probs too right? I cannot colour my fonts without using html. ;| Haha.

Shall watch plays another day. Movieee in half an hour's time.

Change of Plans. Holidays.

2009-11-14T01:13:00.003+08:00

mmhmm. Feelings all churned up again.

Humans are weird. The holidays are here. There's major change of plans. I'm too lazy to like, do stuff that I planned out. Instead, Mommy offered me Tennis.

Yes, Tennis, I shall come for you again. AHHAHA, we've been separated for quite a while heh. [:

It doesn't feel like NOV. Does it? It isn't just me right? HAHA.

Friends, last day at AMK sn.

2009-11-14T00:55:00.003+08:00

PRESENTING! THE TWO JOANs AND THE TWO GRACEs. (in order of GRACE ho, JOAN chan, GRACE Leung, JOAN mak (L-R)(Tricia and I would have stood in for "trademark" -- TM, if not for no one taking the photo.)

TAB- My deskbie. Chitting and Chatting about whatnots! :D

SNGS PHOTOS.

2009-11-14T00:46:00.005+08:00

HAHA, Photo spammms, :/ It's just that facebook will be the death of me. Srsly!! GRRR. I took 1 hour for each upload and all 3 attempts FAILED.

Why why why? Not fated is it? I upload lots of other photos before.

(Oh above pic, credits Esther Yong]

SNGS.

Ms Tan, Ms Praba, Secondary Block. I want you.

2009-11-14T00:12:00.004+08:00

MS TAN! :D

Ms Praaaaba.

Secondary Block. I want you.

Apologies for the something-wrong with the above pic. hahaha. Look at the top half [:

Treasure.

2009-11-14T00:05:00.002+08:00

Never did we expect our awesome teachers to leave. Never did it ever cross my mind. But like Ms Tan said "That year, that day has to come, Some day". I guess life's going to be like that and I'm decided that it's perhaps better for them to leave. I mean, that's their choice, and they have chosen.

Smile, even though your heart may be aching.

Shoutout to Ms Tan and Ms Praba; THANK YOU SO MUCH. I love you. [:

PRIME. IS. HERE. farewell amk.

2009-11-13T23:22:00.003+08:00

Waiting for Facebook to upload my photos quickly.
Rawr, it's finally here.

When I first heard about PRIME, I thought, oh cool! Even when it was nearing the end of 2008, then it was supposedly near to the initial moving date 2009, I still didn't feel a thing. Thank God PRIME got postponed! This year whizzed by, and it wasn't obvious still. Then came the times when we had to clear all the things..

And then this week, it just seemed so obvious, but I just wanted to block it all out.

Then the staffroom was cleared.

And on Wednesday, the mirrors too. I walked into school thinking, WHERE ARE THE MIRRORS? I mean, it had already became such a routine to look into the mirror, at least for me.

Then it finally -- hit me.

Goodbye AMK SN compound!

9 years. Wow, Honestly, has it been that long?

Nevertheless, we must embrace change. [: With all our hearts and courage.

At least we all had a fun time snapping shots of the school and of ourselves right! :D

[Amk, you really seem to be slipping from my grip. I will complete the journey and walk back home from you.]

Fiesta Tee. (:

2009-11-13T02:03:00.003+08:00

I'm random and high. Probably cause I slept just now, so can't sleep?

Nevertheless, I will sleep after typing this.

I am going to school tomorrow with the BRIGHT! neon orange fiesta tee, cause it's officially the last day of school for the secondary 3 Academic year.

HAHHAHAHA.

YOU KNOW WHAT! I HAVE DECIDED THAT I'M GOING TO WEAR..

Oh Shucks, I told you already.

YAY, I'm Excited.

Photos 13/11/09

2009-11-13T01:50:00.003+08:00

TORTURE.
There's a longer version, this is just a very cut version. [: Cool heh.

Something I saw, when I was walking home. Hmm..

I SHALL WALK HOME FROM SCH ONE DAY. REALLY. I Hope. I want to.

That day, walked with Charmaine to AMK hub from Sch. It's really pretty good to walk.

Hi walking, I think I like you. A LOT.

"No, but like! You cannot love everything! If you love something, you want to protect it from all harms and danger. So for example you say you love pizza, you cannot eat it! *looks exasperated*" -Charmaine.

Response because I say "love you" too frequently.

eg,
"Charmaine, help me get 100plus plus ribena, can?"
"Love you!"

(p.s thank you for inspiration, winks*). :D HAHA. If you ever see this.

Random Photos in no particular Order. [: 13/11/09

2009-11-13T01:33:00.003+08:00

Sch clearing stuff. Look at how environmentally unfriendly. The landfills will soon be full, heh.

"P" for our dearest Ms Praba [: Apparently stands for pink in the book, i think. LOL.

Some photo I took. You know, we're moving. Yah, I thought it was cool [: Isn't it? It's sparkly clean! :D

Yes, Tricia likes taking pictures of me. With my phone.. :/ Anyway, that's beside the point! And you know, the point is, look at me hard at work! HAHAHA. I honestly didn't pose for the camera, you know how camera shy I am, although the pen was capped. I was thinking [;

Isn't it very abstract? :D Okay, fine, not really, but I think it's quite cool. HEH.

Reflection Photo Competition.

2009-11-13T00:50:00.002+08:00

Reflection Reflection. Yah, I'm talking about that photo competition.

GRR. Tech Difficulties. :/ My computer refuses to burn those little pictures. Ah, die, my class's photos are in my hands. :/

/edit; done burning! :D

OH, I'm in a photo mood, I think. Shall upload some photos.

Square Root 3.

2009-11-13T00:07:00.002+08:00

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed.

YES. AND I'm INDEX NUMBER 3. [:
THIS IS SO FATED RIGHT!

:D

Fast Food [[:

2009-11-11T01:42:00.003+08:00

FAST FOOD.

Ah, I feel guilty, very extremely.
Rawr. Look at the time now. Researching, reading, at the eleventh hour!

Sheesh. Anyway, ah, friend came over till about one, morning yes! So I guess, this is the time I have.

Yes, I plead guilty. Why am I promoting fast food? AHHAHAHAHAH, actually, it's not as bad as you think. *winks*

:D Ahhhh, I should really be doing work.

Heyheyhey. You meant it when you said that you weren't affected right? :/

A passing thought.

2009-11-01T18:11:00.000+08:00

HAHAHA, was just thinking to myself to appreciate the school compound.
Haha, few more days. Perhaps after directing course, I shall walk back home.
Not a high chance though, considering I may get lost, I need someone to walk with me. [[:

We'll see. :/

GO GREENS. Deal with the adversities.

2009-10-30T22:16:00.004+08:00

Today's been a long day.

Maybe it's just the mood.
Ah, post after post, I talk about the new holding site..

If I knew how to lock this post, maybe I would? HAHAHA! I want to insert a lot of personal input and not exactly for public scrutiny. HAHAHAHAHHAA, but then again, I'm not exactly very tech smart! I don't think blogger can lock post right? Sigh, HAHAHA, infocomm "ZONG TONG", Ner! Where are you!?

Today, of course, prize presentation. Where was the reception though! HAHAHA, I mean, I thought we could at the VERY least feast our eyes on the food! Or at least catch a whiff of it right! HAHAHAHA,then when we had high hopes and walked to the family lounge, we were shocked and disappointed! Hahaha, okay greedy much! HAHA.

Then, there was some updates about the holding site. Haha, oh no, why no 9 O'clock break! Oh, but its proven that when you eat, more blood goes to your digestive system, so you will feel sleepy and not absorb much information to your brain.

Anyway, there's bound to be a lot of changes.. Which is depressing, but then change is inevitable for an improvement right? Sigh.

Of course, then there was some news, about some rearrangement of teachers, because ah, I think the green badge is the most familiar with what I mean.. Then it just made everything so uncertain. I think, no, I know the green badge is just a little scared now. At least, I am. In fact, I'm terrified. Yes, especially since I'm only coming back from Beijing on the 16 Jan, and besides, I cannot go on 25 NOV to look at the school. :/ Is there anyway I can go and tour around on my own? HAHAHA! Anyone with me?

I'm terribly scared deep down inside, but I know the greens have to be strong and not only that, we have got to be U-N-I-T-E-D, I remember the video we watched in drama studio after the talk with our Academic Head.

I don't think I'm prepared. But I will try.

In God I trust.

Funny how comfortable we get, and this teensy bit of change gets us all jerky and scared stiff.

At least I'm talking about myself. Next year, I wonder, when I chance upon this post, what would I think. What would I say? What would.. The future is uncertain.

Ahh, It just feels so much better to get it off my chest. I just feel like I take things for granted too much. You know? Ah, who knows? :(

I'm really looking forward to QI HANG next year, you know.. And what if that too, is uncertain. :( I was just talking to some huahui girls and then it's true that greens don't have experience with it at all. But I'm pretty sure we'll survive. And no, not just survive, we'll create a legacy.

Greens, jiaaaayou. [: This is the time to show what we've got.

It feels gratifying being a senior. I just answered some queries about subject combination, and I hope what advice I gave would be helpful to the lil' whites ones. I remember last year, I was very uncertain too! Especially since, I had that subject to considerrrr.. Ah, some will know what I mean.

I know I've got to stay strong. I know Greens got to stay strong. I know SN has got to stay strong.

Reflection day, 2009

2009-10-29T19:53:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, was indeed a roller coaster ride for me. Of course, reflection day, one of the days where I'm really reminded of how blessed it is to be a St. Nicholas Girl. True blue one. (: pun intended. Haha, anyway, of course, there was the stories. And last year I rmb that we were very high about Mama Mia. Haha, but not really this year, heh.

Anyway, after recess, my group had Kimberly, Shuen, Kelly, Grace, Huirou and Tricia and I. Oh my, we kept reaching for the tissues and yes! Grace owes us drinks, haha, cause she reached out for the last tissue. Anyway, we shared stuff and it was really heartwarming. As in, I guess, it was very good to just open up.

We all agreed this year was a very fast year, it just flew past like that. Faster Each year.. Next year.. I wonder..

:( I really know that change is inevitable, but then the thought of leaving this amk campus, it's just very, erm, I don't know, it just makes me very sad. Ah yah, I shouldn't repeat myself right, but siggh! :(

One more reflection day to go. Just one, no more? :(

"reflection day? What? So you just stare at yourself in the mirror the whole day?"
-Huirou's brother's response when he heard about reflection day.

Oh yes, I really hope huahui can have our Qi Hang'2010. Please please please! Can?

Moving over to the new school compound..

2009-10-23T22:48:00.003+08:00

Haven't blogged in ages.
It's so scary. Everything's moving too fast, too furious..

So I'm done with the secondary 3 school's end of year examinations, and results are back. Ehhhh.. Still have room for much improvement.

(This is dedicated to our school compound.) Haha!

Anyway, I know I should be open minded to changes, cause experiencing change is the only thing that will not change, but I'm not really looking forward to the new school compound. I guess I'll get used to it soon(er, or later) but now, the idea's just really hitting me in the face, and I just don't really feel too good about it.

There's just so much packing to be done, shifting and all, and everyone's just talking about how much less things we're gonna have there. I guess, when we really go over, we'll appreciate what we have now a lot more.

Besides, I'm not going to school for the first 16 days, if I get lost, which I might, and yes, probably will, for those who know me, haha, it's just a teensy bit scary.

Anyway, today we were singing love songs in the MPR1, and you know what? I just felt like crying. I don't know why. It's just ever since yesterday, I have this intense sadness that overwhelms me. Of course, I didn't really cry, but I just feel little little nostalgic feelings bubbling up in me. Oh man, I must be getting old and sentimental. HAHAH, but ah, 9 years of life in SN, I mean the compound.. I'll really miss it.

Ah, anyway, yes how's life right?

It's okay. Just that I'll have to get used to the fact that the teachers are calling us Secondary 4 2010. Haha, well, hmm, it's gonna happen.

Embrace Change, Let's look forward to the NEW school compound. Think of it as new! Haha.

Thannnnnnks JO.

Romans 12 of God's Holy Word

"6. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.

7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well.

8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."

Romans 12 of the Bible

Pray that God will grant good weather for Teachers Day Celebratory! :D

PPrroojjeeccttoorr. Yup, double imaged projector..

2009-08-29T00:03:00.003+08:00

All that excitement for nothing. It wasn't a -a-new-projector-finally- for 3 Diligence. I know that complaining doesn't help, but ugh, double images makes my eye condition wwwworst. :/

Ms Praba suggested we "shake our fist" to the office. But apparently, we found out, this was the best projector. Hahaha, duh, among the worst.

If you didn't know, I have some condition, apparently, described by my eye specialist that my eye muscles may clench up sometimes, thus I can see properly, and if I wear specs, it will be like too high in degree. While sometimes, if my eye muscles relax, then I can wear specs.

Thus, translate into; not so convenient for wearing specs.

When efforts go unappreciated, the pain, is unbearable. You want to shout it out loud that you have just wasted your youth or something. Those out there, feeling uncertain, feeling apprehensive, feeling like everything may not work out, loook on the bright side. Have Faith. Lots of Faith.

(:

Lovey-dovey-script-a-pee-lee. :D

"Hey Barbie, wanna go for a ride?"

Even though script writing is terribly energy draining, I'm beginning to really like it. ):

Script Writing;
It's so time consuming, so creative juice draining, so frustrating when you have no inspiration, but yet, it is such a thrilling challenging, asking you to create a problem, then a lousy solution, which leads to complication, then a full solution. When you fall in love with something so challenging, something so puzzling, something that threatens to drain you of your energy, it's dangerous.

When Zhang Lao Shi said it was last lesson next week, I knew I was going to miss ju ben ke.

I am going to watch a play after end of years examinations.

1 More Month.

Anyway, HAPPY TEACHERS DAY MANSZXZXZCZXCZ! :D

Yay, really hoping all will go well on Monday.

Lots of Hard Work put in by LOTS of peopleeeee. :D

I should go and do the Huahui Script now.

2009-08-23T20:01:00.002+08:00

I cannot upload pictures, what's with blogger?

For Chinese, we have to take photos of the School and describe why we like that part of school best. I realise, I just don't want to part with it all.

:( Why am I slacking. There's still Huahui Script yet to be completed.

Yesterday night, there was a mystery current trip in my house. Survived without fan the whole night. Came and thought about this sentence which made much sense yesterday.

心静自然凉

Cliche, but finally understood.

"Hey, Qi Hong, why do you have so many cheese?"
"Haha, cause I'm CHEEESY"

Projector!

2009-08-19T20:43:00.001+08:00

I'm viewing blogger weirdly again.
It has all the "postings, edit post, settings" vertically.

Anyway, life's been alright. Today was a historic moment for 3 Diligence, cause a
new projector has been granted to our class and we revamped the board, by scrubing it with BOLD's board liquid cleaner. Hmm! 3 diligence seems to somewhat have penchant for historical moments. Okay, maybe on a smaller scale LAH! :D. I mean, bats and baby bats at camp, and witnessing a tap burst during SPA prac and wetting/damaging our lab's ceiling, and now.. A NEW projector?!!!?

It ALL just all so overwhelming! I've got eyes brimming with tears.

Finally, after 5 or 6 months of waiting..

Today, IT was here.

:) wheehoo.

Funny how I emphasize more on the projector, which ought to be royally given a name, although it's only temporary, cause you know what's happening next year, than the incident when a tap burst in the lab.

Anyway, a non-suspecting Hsiao Wei went to twist the tap's knob clockwise and the next thing? Water shot Hsiao Wei in the face. Courageous and committed Hsiao Wei then braved the storms and the (winds?) and tried to hold on tightly to the gushing water supply but it resisted and battled, shooting in all directions. Teachers and lab personals to the rescue as they remained calm during the quoted "emergency" and switched off the water supply in the nick of time. But alas, Hsiao Wei was soaked, drenched to every thread of the pinafore had turned three shades darker. 2/3 s of the lab had been flooded and half the class had to proceed with their SPA PRAC next door.

Phew.

Oh yes, much talked about it and said it mirrors (literature elements) a flood, when dams breaks, and waters come gushing out. Yesc you have got it, the importance of Geography in our lives.

Ion orchard - huge and futuristic! I like. Oh! Happy Birthday Singapore!

2009-08-09T23:39:00.001+08:00

Happy National Day! 2009.
Time flies again. I was pretty looking forward to this break, but it just got occupied by everything again. Tml there's chemistry meeting and science mentorship, really hope we can be productive and finish the smp stuff just like how we completed the report
yay.

Anyway, national day celebrations were quite successful, I should think. Thank God for beautiful weather! And secondary section was quite high, so yay? Just merely 3 hours and I was so drained. Who knew three hours of jumping, dancing, singing, screaming could e so tiring? Haha, :D then came back to class to take some photos. Anyway, that's not the point, later on, Tricia came over to my place! Supposely to do Chemistry project but we were both so tired that we couldn't but we did Geography instead! And of course, some blog hopping. Hahah.

Saturday was alright lah, went to my neighbour's new house at somewhere else while they renovate their house. Treated our neighbourhood to dinner. And some self made popiah, really yummy.

Oh today! National day! Family and I went out for DINNER. Ion orchard is realy huge. Especially since we walked from taka to wisma to ion. Ate at Imperial treasures at taka, was wonderfully brilliant. Hahaha, hmm, crystal jade and imperial treasures are so worthy of being direct competitors (in my opinion) Hahah, nevermind, will patronize them equally! :D imperial treasure's cod fish today was brillant!

Brought shoes and a blue top, ah, shopping does helps destress right?
