A few days ago, I was staring real hard at my A Level results slip, specifically the 2 Bs and wished so hard that one or more will miraculously turn into an A like in some TV drama. Well guess what? Miracles do.. not happen, or at least to me and the 2 Bs is still stuck stubbornly on my results slip HAHA but I've also decided not to be so stubborn and learn to embrace them HAHA.

Surprisingly, I wasn't very jealous of those who did really well, as in hope that they will all disappear or sth. I thought I would actually since I'm such a must-win kind of person. I was just very very angry at myself and disappointed that I could not be one of them. Wah so gek HAHA

BUT don't worry! I'm fine now! :)

omg handle with care is such a good book! though I haven't finish but I know that jodi picoult will once again blast me off my bed since I usually read on my bed HAHAHA

wah i've finally organised my gmail inbox of 1500++ email hahahah that accumulated over these 5 years! :) now my inbox only has 5 mails hehe so neat! i see already also very shiok HAHA.

Anyway today's 初九 which is also 天公诞 so I was helping my parents with all the 拜拜 stuff at 12midnight. Then we had to go downstairs to burn the joss papers and all. I was quite annoyed by this guy who kept "monitoring" us, standing behind us and telling us to be careful not to burn the trees and even asked where we were from, which really makes me feel that we don't have any freedom. like HELLO thanks for your concern but who would want to go burn the trees right? we have better stuff to do. and you may be disrupting a sacred ceremony you know? wah ruin my day lor

people often say it's much harder to gain respect but sometimes some seem to lack the ability to respect others more.

As I sat on the bus on the way home today, saw a lot of students waiting at the bus stops, walking along the streets, holding a football or bubble tea, talking with their friends etcetc.. all the things I haven't done in quite a while. Made me miss the old days in school. Though there were much more things to do and worry then. But ironically, life was in much better control. Now as I have essentially nothing much to do, I seem to be losing control. It takes much more effort for me to start on something and forever to complete it. I guess I just got the lazy bug.

I went shopping today with jas, quekie and renice! :) At 313, ION, Taka and wisma! :D
And I spent $200! :/ Woah that's such an irony if you read my previous post hahahha.
But I feel quite satisfied and shuang! HAHA a bangle and ring from F21 for $16 cheap cheap! okay that sounds like jas. hahah.

But I just saw a mandarin collar shirt on ohvola that's very nice too! :) and cheaper too :( But I bought one today le so no more! :/

Then I went to novena chin huat live seafood steamboat for steamboat buffet with some of the guides and ms teng! Nice nice! Eclair was freaking nice! :) And food was not bad too I think. Good choice for gathering and bonding! :)

And I want to go Korea! Anthea and Vicki makes it seem like it's a shopping paradise! AHH I'M JEALOUS

2009-12-26T04:51:00.000-08:00

Do I even visit this place?
Actually not really HAHA
well, frankly, I find it a little stressed everytime I come here because I feel that I was writing rubbish (as in the language and stuff) in the previous post. I cannot even stand my own writing hahahah quite stupid eh. I am an escapist.
Moreover, I was really quite busy studying for As. Even after As, I am also busy, though this time it's busy playing HAHA. Come to think of it, from after As to now, there's like only about 5 days that I'm home the whole day. Considering I'm not working, okay I should stop going out so often. No wonder I feel that the hole in my wallet is getting bigger hehe.

So after As, there was prom, nyguides camp, class chalet, harmoc chalet, trip to KL, more gatherings, even more shopping hahahah and thinking about my bleak future haha
overseas or local uni?
business or architecture or some other?
stb or ura?
I'm gonna say something very childish: I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP! :(
hahahah I should just go hide in the countryside some day I guess that suits me more. That's why I want to study in Bath. It sounds like a nice and quiet place to study in hehe.
But now i really hope to get my 4 As! Please please please! Let me have them please! Then i can really do whatever i want!

okay something random! I saw a shooting star while lying in the ny quadrangle star gazing at 4am one morning during guides camp! Freaking cool and lucky! hahhaha.

And something even more random. There's a (ex)class couple now! O.O whoa never saw that coming hahahah.

okay I shall focus on watching momo love now! HAHA

and merry christmas and happy holidays! :D

Just finish reading all the emails that Liting, Mr Tan and Joanne sent, and immediately, I was overwhelmed by this feeling of nostalgia. Windworks 2009 yesterday officially marks the end of my term in hwachong harmonica. It's been a remarkable year (and 5months) for me in hwachong harmonica. I really enjoy being with all the harmonica people (: although i always say you all no sense of urgency, very nua and stuff haha but you guys really made me feel like i'm at home. :) we are a family, always :)

No doubt, there has been ups and downs in this whole journey. I think this half a year is the period of time in my whole life (so far) that I cried the most. haha and i realised that I was not as good at stress management as I thought i was. Nonetheless, all the tears and stress proved to be worthwhile during yesterday's concert :) I was so proud to be part of hcharmoc :) and so touched to hear so many people say that they enjoyed the concert hahaha i was so scared i'll disappoint everyone before the concert that i keep emo-ing and complaining to jasminetan. hahaha thanks jas for the encouragements! :D and thankyou everyone for coming for windworks 2009. you guys have been a great audience!

Before the concert started, when we were all sitting behind the curtains, I felt this tinge of sadness, knowing that it will be the last time the j2s will be performing on stage as a band. Somehow, this feeling began to diminish slowly as the concert went on as i got more high hahaha. but when i got home, i started to miss the whole hcharmoc spirit and everyone.
no more greenplate and jinji. no more of liting's nagging. no more of freezing to death in the music room during combines. no more of carrying chairs and instruments all the way from music rm to drama centre and back. no more of lame jokes i share with section2. no more of justin playing the only 3 songs that he knows on the piano hahaha the list goes on. But like what we said before the harmoc song yesterday, they will become the most wonderful memories :)

Thankyou eveyone who has been part of these wonderful memories:
- the EXCO! :D although we always don't act according to plan and love to change things last-minute, things still manage to turn out really good in the end haha :D thankyou for accomodating me and my randomness sometimes. but i'm seriously not very fierce la. HAHA. I'm sorry that i didn't like write a nice card for everyone :( but i just want to say that it's been fantastic working with all of you! :)
- all the members of hcharmoc especially section 2 and jiekai! I know i frown a lot at you all :/ but sometimes that's really my default expression! hahaha. we must always say hi to each other eh! :D
- LITING! thankyou for being such a wonderful pres! so linglei and yet inspiring! though you talk a lot and cry a lot hahahah :P and sorry if i pissed you off sometimes because of my stubborn-ness. and i totally agree with what you said in the email! you kind of snatched away what i wanted to say hahaha. i guess i just wanna thank you for being yourself :) you've been a great friend :D and will always be!
- Jasminetan and derrick! i really really thank you for willing to be part of hcharmoc :) you guys have done a great job! jasmine don't keep thinking that you are a lousy player k! :D and derrick you are the most dedicated drummer i've ever seen! the best drummer! hahaha :) hope you enjoyed the whole process as much as i did :) and perhaps take away something valuable from this experience :)
- Chaiping and minjian! thankyou for agreeing to be our emcees! i bet a lot of people adore you guys very much after yesterday's concert hahaha you guys are really funny :) thankyou chaiping for helping me and dragging minjian along :) and minjian we'll definitely give cip hours! hahaha :)
- Mr tang for being so funny and cute during practices! and influential with the emotions when conducting :) 谢谢邓老师！
- Mr tan for helping and supporting us all this while! ensuring that we've got enough money and booking the venues and motivating us! :)
- my super best friends! renice, yiling, yujie, elaine, gaomin, eileen, minxuan, vicki for coming! and the flowers! :D i guess i won't be able to stay cheerful and optimistic without your encouragements! :D love you loads! and thankyou renice for shouting throughout the concert!hahaha :) and quekie and lifern too! for your well-wishes though you couldn't come :)
- the tya volunteers! i was so shocked when so many of you sms-ed me :) thankyou! and thank you feeeee for coming! and the bouquet of lilies! :) i'm really happy to have a big sister like you! heehee.

really hope i didn't miss anyone out hehe. thankyou everyone who's helped in some way :)

It's been 11 days since SYF.
It's true that the nervousness, excitement, stress and "high"-ness have begun to die down.
But I thought that it is a very important event in my life that I must pen it down :)

On the morning of 30th April, I came to school, seriously filled with excitement and hope. A lot of people mumbled a jiayou to me on the way up to the music room, which really encouraged me :D Thankyou! And thankyou to those who sms-ed me too! I'm sorry that I couldn't reply to everyone, but really thank you! :D

When we played through once in the music room, I could feel that everyone was very serious about it and we were actually "together" both musically and mentally. The feeling was really good :)

The bus journey to TRCC was unexpectedly quiet. I thought I would be damn high and everything but somehow I was just concentrating on telling myself to be confident haha yinghong taught me that we should say "I'm confident!" instead of "don't be nervous" as it will make you even more nervous. Before we reached trcc, we sang eine klein once through :D

After that was just waiting and waiting. The butterflies in my stomach just keep appearing and disappearing :/

Then we played the last time in the tuning room. And I felt that we were ready. :)

At the backstage, we did a lot of stupid things, like some random dance and silent whooshes. It was the first time everyone was smiling! Seriously I was very very happy to see everyone so united and excited.

Finally, it was our turn. We played and it was the first time i enjoyed eine klein. Pirates was good :) I know that it was not our best performance but i truly enjoy the music, our music on stage. Amazingly, I was not nervous. haha i didn't know how i did it too :) no matter what we get, I'm actually satisfied :)

Before the results was just a lot of talking and jokes. Seniors were analysing who were good and stuff but I didn't listen to them very much. Just thought that the results would say it all.

It turned out that the results did not say a single thing. When they announced the results and I realised that every school got silver, I was utterly confused. Everyone was just stoning there giving the "huh, now what? why like that?" face. Seriously, I didn't know how I should feel. Happy or sad? Okay, now as i think back i think it was neither. I was just very 不服气, seriously that 8 silvers just threw all our efforts into the drain. I wanted to know where our school stand. I believe everyone was all fighting for that top place. In the end, after half a year of preparation, we were told that everyone was equal. I think I would feel better if they award a gold to some other school, then at least i know there's someone who's better and we can work towards that standard.

I didn't cry at first. But Mr Tan la, went up to say something to the judges. He said something like "I've been with them through many days of practices, in fact many many nights and many many saturdays.." Wah that really made me cry like shit.

On the bus, we just keep complaining to each other hahaha which made me felt much much better. And Mr Tan and the guys were really funny when they discussed about what to say for the morning announcement. haha, glad you guys find it funny too. We wanted to make it humourous and sarcastic. hahah

After a long debrief, we went out for lunch and then pool. But i came back music room to sleep for a while cos i was really very tired. haha.

That night, we had POST SYF PARTY (PSP) at Liting's function room! It's really pretty! Like a glass house then outside is just the pool with some tables and chairs. So it's like a poolside party! So cool right! hahaha. That night was really really high hahaha. We sang many many many songs (i realised a lot of ppl in harmoc love JAYCHOU!), played with many many sparklers and had lots and lots of fun and laughter! Suddenly, all the results don't matter anymore. hcharmonica is just simply the best! :) hahaha we can forget about all the results and anger and just 放下 in a few hours. Don't you think we are such a lovely and cheerful bunch? hee :P

Although we only completed the race with a silver, I believe we did it beautifully :)

the people. the love. the music.
hcharmonica will not be what it is today without any of the 3 :)

07.04.09

2009-04-07T03:02:00.000-07:00

have been stoning a lot during lessons these few days.
the stress is really building up as SYF is getting nearer.
but i'm loving practices more and more :)
as i could "feel" the music more and more each time (esp during mr tang's combines)

and I realised that it really isn't a very good idea to go look at how the other schools are doing because it just makes you more worried but i guess to some extent, it makes you want to work harder. hcharmonica, we must really do our best :D

many often say that the results is not important, what's important is that you enjoyed the entire process.

But somehow this time I really want to win this race, and be at the finishing line holding that gold medal.

ohdear, my blog is very stagnant.
suddenly feel like visiting my own blog haha.

just came back from DRAMAFESTE 2009!
and mummy is angry with me for coming home so late, okay i think she's angry that i told her i'll go home at 9plus and im still in school at 11 (but i told brother to tell her i'm going home at 10plus lor but he sabo-ed me and say that i'll go home at 9plus -.-)

okay back to topic, DRAMAFESTE 2008 was much better. haha cos got us :P
frankly, i don't like artemis one this year. the attempted jokes are quite sick. :/
i like the apollo one though, really funny. :)
all these remind me of dramafeste last year :) j1 life is really quite fun, if you minus all the tests and promos and maybe pw. haha.

and today was release of A levels results. was talking to dingfang before the show and she got 8 distinctions wow right! suddenly i have the urge to get all my distinctions too! HAHA.

before i start dreaming again, i have to remind myself that it is 1 2 3 4 omg 4 more days to blks. wonderful. okay maybe i should stop writing ad start mugging :X

yesterday after physics paper, yiling, renice chaiping, yujie and i just sat at the canteen and we talked for like 4 hours straight! i laughed till my jaw was aching la, esp when renice was imitating clrs's double chin, it's really funny hahaha.

it's nice talking to your good friends. i think i learnt a lot about myself and how much we all have grown (the other way to put it is how childish we were last time hahaha) i bet 5 years later we will still be talking about how we sat in the canteen talking about such stupid things. hahah
and the part about the bermuda triangle was the best! i wonder who would be the one operating the plane HAHAHAH

i think a good ending would be our first nytc photo! but too bad i dont have on this computer.

okay i just got a few more idols hahaha. michael phelps is so cool :D
taoli is damn zai too i wonder what i will be doing when im 18. okay which is next yr. nothing as significant definitely. i wonder what is going through her mind. i guess that is real motivation. (:

such a memorable day (:

our first performance without the seniors to perhaps the largest audience.
we may not be impressive, but i think it's enough to influence.
how touching is it to see people swaying and singing along with your music?

thankyou each and everyone of you for putting in so much effort. :D
we shall strive to be able to impress everyone someday (:

hcharmonica (:
the people. the love. the music.

When i was studying for physics test; figuring how shimin got the answers, i just thought of this random thing:

In life,
do we figure out the answers ourselves or do we merely find a way to the answers given to us?

25.07.08

2008-07-25T07:51:00.000-07:00

today, i went to school very happily hahahah this sounds like the starting of a pri school essay hahaha but it's true. (: hwachong is quite generous about holidays huh. i like! hahah. :P

we had humanities week thing in the morning. slept for a while until deborah how came around to wake people up and anyhow crush other people's paper. .______.

PE was quite fun, i laughed like shit lah. maychew was super funny. and "tanks" keep attacking his dearest physics rep. hahaha. volleyball is like my favourite PE module, other than tennis. though i can't really play volleyball or tennis hahaha.

after school, i went jp with yiling. ate jap satay bento! super nice! and filling! :D and cheap too! then we went to shop around. i realised that window shopping is quite nice. you walk around and found out that a lot of things are so cute and pretty. then you imagine that if you have the money which one will you buy. and you say "i will buy this next time when i have the money!" hahaha

2008-07-18T18:16:00.000-07:00

I have been reading some books these few weeks.

Guardian by Nicholas Sparks was good. I like the suspense near the end. A very engaging and touching book. (:

Currently, i am reading Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern. I was inspired by one of the paras inside.

"Our life is made up of time. Our days are measured in hours, our pay are measured by those hours, our knowledge are measured by those years. We grab a few minutes in our busy day to have a coffee break. We rush back toour desks, we watch the clock, we live by appointments. And yet time eventually runs out and you wonder in your hearts if those seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years and decades were being spent the best way they possibly could."

I am not going to let myself lose out to the time. definitely not.

For the past 4 weeks, i've been eating a lot 打包food, a lot of beehoon hokkien mee chicken rice that i'm quite sick of it already. Mummy seldom cook now because every night, she has to go visit grandpa at the hospital.
hope that ahgong can wake up soon, even if that requires a miracle (:

-----
i love my simple life, and i have no intention of changing it or changing myself. call me selfish or stubborn but i seriously don't care about fitting into everybody's lives.

06.07.08

2008-07-06T06:30:00.000-07:00

a new url, which was inspired by yiling (:

lilliputian (n.) A very small being
and pronunced as lili-put-tion.

i simply thought that this word looked quite nice and sounded quite cute.

a new skin, yellow and inspirational.
maybe this would give me some motivation in life. (:

01.07.08

2008-07-01T04:22:00.000-07:00

I hope that everyone around me can be very healthy and happy

WINDWORKS 2008 <3

It was a great success, really. :D our hard work these weeks paid off.

The feeling was very fulfilling and satisfying because all of us were trying very hard to work towards a common goal.

Once the concert started, i knew that it would all end very soon. and nobody wanted it to end though we were all tired, stressed.

I was very touched when the audience started singing langhua during the encore. :)

backstage crew was great! hee. we managed to do the 1min band arrangement in time! :) and i have nice muscles now! from carrying all the chairs. esp carrying chairs from music rm to the drama centre and back. i guess we are the only performaing arts group who looked so unglam after the concert. hahahah. :P

Thank you everyone who came down to support us!

I watched Dance night last friday.
it was really a lot of people. the queue was horrible and i have no idea why are the girls screaming so loudly, as if the loudest will get to go in first :O

anyway, it was good. impressive dances and cool moves. i liked the dances by the seniors hahaha. very very cool :D i think overall, it just lacked the kind of 感动 that i've looked for in a concert. hahaha i thnk im asking too much because they are very pro already. :D

after dance night, renice vicki and i went back nanyang to helped the guides with sentry duty! i wrote my speech that night. and i tried to sleep but i couldn't. not comfortable. hahaha. so i only slept for 1hr plus in the morn and went for harmoc at 9. CCA ends at 6plus. so i walked to poolside and bought french fries for dinner hahah. met quekie and her sis and we went to watch how the other half loves! :d

it was super nice and super funny. i think the setting was very cool, as in how the stage was designed, the actors were good too! just 6 actors in a 2 hr show. zai! hahah. it was a very interesting drama. i enjoyed it a lot! :D such a pity that it clashed with dance night and quite a lot of ppl missed it.

went back home bathe and slept. that was how my sat went.

sun, i went to weichang's house for pw meeting. his younger brother looked like him when he was younger hahaha. :P
this gpp better be good. we spent so much effort on it lah! :D and i like boyang's macbook so pretty and sleek. hahah.
after that, shanni, weichang and i went cwp to have dinner.
then i went jp to buy arts fest attire (:
reached home at 9plus.

mon, i went jason's house to do pip. hahaha i think our group was the first grp to complete the report! yay! :D we ate prawn noodles for lunch! nice :D
then jason's dad sent us to junyang's house. i love his house so stylish and big. hahah. we played bridge, dai di and mahjong! very fun! :D hee. totally like gambling den.
i should not regret going because i enjoyed myself! :D

and im glad that i have a lot of friends who are always helping me! thankyou renice lifern and lammie! if not i don't know what time i'll sleep tonight :/

The foursome in 6P hahaha :D

anyway, long time since i blogged. eh quite a lot of things happened, like fac outing.
it was quite fun though the food was not very nice. maychew was so funny during the last game. and we had a nice bus trip back home! heh heh. and although bandage is not really a hat or headgear, it's still quite nice seeing everyone trying to help each other tie the bandage. its cute! hahaha. and sherry's firemen gear super cute lah! i must get the photos from her!

then we had our very first interact outing! at sentosa! :D it was amazingly fun. i think our amazing race group was totally awesome lah. i dug out the ziploc bag the moment i start digging heehee so lucky right! then we answered all the lame jokes correctly! prove that we are all lame people. hahah. then jon soh's game was the funniest. we were supposed to hug a pail at the bottom of the tower thing while the ppl at the 2nd storey have to pour water down. we all cheated and pour water into the pail when we are actually judged on how wet we are. hahah.
so we got scam. then we played with water! so nice and cooling. we had pizza for dinner! then our igrp still went to build sandcastles. hahaha :) it was like the most enjoyable day this term so far.

yesterday night, i went to ben's band (ebenezer) debut performance WHAT LAST FRIDAY WAS FOR at parkway parade with fee they all :) vicki came later.
it was quite cool hahaha vicki and i never knew that ben could perform like that sing and play both the accoustic and electri guitar. not bad sia :P i'm impressed :D
anyway, they played songs they compose themselves too. it was quite nice. the atmosphere was very wen1xin1 and relaxed.
and i saw his twin brother chris! who was the drummer. okay not very alike but still alike. hahaha.

at the end of the performance, we stayed back for a while took photos, talked rubbish, laughed like crazy people. :D
i enjoyed myself tremendously. it's like the happiest day in the week cos i didn't touch any work that day.
i reached home at 11.45 :O got scolded by my mum. i knew that was coming. but she wasn't very angry i guess she's just worried.

and there's this other running game that he LOVES. he went for more than 20 times i think. but he cried when benny redeemed the transformer that he had been eyeing for a very long time. :( and he refused to redeem other stuff but after i brought him to the running game area he just became happy again instantly. hahah. it's a nice feeling to see that children are easily contented. it makes them happier isn't it?

(starts on units&measurements tutorial and decides to stop blogging first)

I got to know and work with a lot of people. and we all had a lot of fun, like singing random songs treating avt as a karaoke room! hahahaha and dancing fac dance, or rather watching them dance the fac dance, playing bridge, laughing cheering and slacking around. :) and of course running around doing make up and settling the costumes!

WRATH (pao pao) was the character i was in charge of. his costumes are quite easy. make up just a lot of blusher. hahaha. and he drew his own angry eyebrows as i really sucked at drawing eyebrows. i always make him look so comical. hahaha. :P

Guides Camp: 4Dec-7Dec

I went for the whole camp except for sabotage and clearing up! I very nice right! hahah. but we were quite slack because nothing much to do. but i thought that the wide game was quite fun (island-wide leh!) because i was a participant! with claire! then yuxin was the team marshall. we kept chatting and laughing during the whole journey. hahaha. :D

Good job Sec 3s! Though there are some hiccups here and there, but i believe you tried your best! And sometimes juniors may not be behaving in the way you wanted or expected them to be, you must keep remiding them, you can either scold or talk nicely. hahaha. depends on what approach you want. :P Bring NYGG to greater heights! :D

Sec 1s and 2s, well done for the camp too! I enjoy being with you all thoughout the camp because you are forever so enthu and energetic. adrenaline rush eh. hee. I was like so tired during the camp lah, because i didn't really have a good rest before that. so JIAYOU for next year! :)

Farewell 2007: 14Dec

Thank you juniors and guiders for all the memories in nygg this 4 years! :) I enjoyed the farewell very very much! and i was very touched! so thankyou thankyou everyone!

Although the food was not wonderful, but the hosting was not bad. hahah. they gave us identity cards. and i was RON from harry potter! hahahah. :D

Then the concert! As usual, we had the fashion show and because this year the theme was famous people so they got us to act as different famous people. and guess who am i? JAY CHOU! HAHAHAHA. so funny lah! and renice was jolin. WAHAHAH. we also had powerpuff girls, men in black, tom and jerry, zhen zi... but it was damn hot because the jacket was super thick and i had to hide under the hood. but the applause was very loud. hahaha. xiexie xiexie da jia! :P

Thankyou all for your items! I had a good time laughing. hee. :) and all the montage! bring back all the fond memories! though photos were a bit overused. hahah.

I think this year our item was the best among the 4 years! hahaah. althought there's only 11 of us. but we had fun dancing and jumping and singing. and i didn't cry! :) I seldom cry anyway. hee. :P

The uncle was very strong, fight with the fish. We followed the fish one whole round around the kelong so that the fishing thread wont break. and to prevent the fish from going under the kelong, many peple were stamping their feet to scare the fish away. so cool. hahaha. here's some photos!

Christmas Musical: 21Dec

Minxuan, Renice, Gaomin and I went to gaomin's church to watch their christmas musical: A different christmas! It was quite nice. I like the songs and the costumes and the props. but i don;t really like the dream part, kind of draggy, but no choice the story has to say how betsy became good! hee. oh. gurmit singh went too because he's from the church. then her daughter was in the musical too. very cute! hahaha. thanks gaomin for bringing us there and your friends for the candies! :D

TYA Christmas Party: 22Dec

i'm now blogging in class 307. hahah cool right
supposed to be in school to rehearse for farewell, but because i'm VERY ear;y, no one is here yet. and while waiting at the benches near the canteen, i got bitten by this irritatating and HUGE mosquito so many times! i tell you it's as big as my thumb nail k. but my several attempts to kill it failed miserably, so i'm taking refuge at 307 classroom.

we are dancing to "Let's go on a trip" by sm town. aren't you excited? hahahah. :P
but due to our lack of talent for dance cheorography, we are like copying here and there plus some of our own moves. hee. thanks to ahgao! :D

my daddy bought me a new laptop! :D thankyou daddy!
it's quite small and i like the design! it's compaq! (:
and i like the way windows vista looks. i hope it doesn't give much problem though.

Second week of holidays already.

Some photos we took on the last day of school (sorry i know i'm slow just too lazy hahah)

a lot of times, we were just being stupid and random. :O

there were a lot more funny potos that everyone else took too.

These are some that i took.

i like the tyre swings photos very much!

renice helped me take for me and i took for her and yiling.

yiling looked very nice in the photo right. hahaha THANKS TO ME! :P

a bit lame but we had a lot of fun going round the school to take random photos, being lame and funny. hahahah.

ahhh. i miss nanyang! :(

since the first day of work, i really hoped that i could go back to school. i have always known that school will definitely be so much nicer than working. argh. i really dread my work. so boring and sian. i felt really bad on the first day. i guess it's because i'm not really used to talking to strangers over the phone and keep getting rejected. luckily quekie and renice are working with me.

okay shuli, you did this so that you can go to jay chou's concert and buy some things that you like. just 1 more week! jiayou!

hahahaha. i'm going to jay chou's concert on his birthday! 18 jan! yeah!! such a nice birthday present for myself! :D THANK YOU CHAIPING and CHAIPING'S MAMA (for helping me get the tickets) and YILING and YILING'S SIS too (for trying to help)!

his 8th album was not bad. i like 我不配 best! :D and 牛仔很忙彩虹青花瓷最长的电影. okay lah all very nice. hahhaha. :)

These few days had been chinese chinese and MORE CHINESE.
It's gonna be the same for this week and next week.
wow. congratulate me :O
AND these's a mock paper tomorrow.
Can i fall sick?
Oh. zzc printed this 94-page compilation of newspaper articles which has like font 6 or something lah. okay. I shall read 5 page everyday before i sleep. :O

There was elections yesterday.
Quite exciting though I was very sleepy. I guess I yawned like 20 times. :O Sorry it's not that you are boring. I'm just tired. They must be very very nervous lah. In front of everyone in the LT using a microphone and answering questions on leadership and everything. But most of them were quite steady. :) I cannot reveal anything though. heehee. :) But it was hard making up a decision. really.

Then, today we had our eoy sabbats briefing. I'm in JOURNALISM and PUBLISHING. It's so not me. but i guess it will be a different experience. and we realized this group is very weird. There is so many different types of people in this sabbatical. :/ wonder if we can work together. we'll see how.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANYANG! :D
Thank you for all those memories, good friends, experiences and the wonderful environment that you have given me in these 3 plus years, which have nurtured me into who I am today! I've seen a lot more, grown a lot more and learnt a lot more.
I know that I will never forget my 4 years in nanyang and the values nanyang has inculcated in me. :D
May you have many more 90 years to come! (:

2007-08-07T07:29:00.000-07:00

woohoo! tests are over! :D lalalalala
now there's fewer things to stress about.

anyone knows where can i get cheap cheap CD-R (with casing)?
i need to buy a lot but my budget's limitied. :/

today we had the best chem practical ever! :D
SUPERBALL!
but mine's a square now and it's sitting on my table in 405 classroom.
and the purple slimy slime! hahahah. i can make the best slime! :P like it's a very proud thing to say. HAHAH.

i think 萧敬腾 is damn cool because he can really sing! hahaha. i just watched kangxilaile. xiao s was so funny desperately trying to make him talk. that time i saw him on kangxilaile too. i was so shocked when he sang huo yuan jia and play the keyboard at the same time. i just think that huo yuan jia and the keyboard don't link at all. hahah. but it was still amazing. i just feel like clapping for them after they sing. and i did. hahahah. :P

2007-08-01T04:21:00.000-07:00

(I AM GOING TO TYPE IN CAPS FOR THIS POST. JUST FEEL LIKE IT. )

I AM TOTALLY SICK OF CALLING PEOPLE. :/

SO I AM WAITING FOR THURSDAY TO END.

SURPRISINGLY SABBATICALS WAS QUITE INTERESTING AND FUN. IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THEN ENV SCIENCE. :O

WE HAD ADVANCED LIFE SCIENCE.

MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE AIRCON ENVIRONMENT

AND WE KNOW HOW TO ENTERTAIN OURSELVES! HAHAHAH.

MR JUSTIN AND MR YAN (? I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL HIS NAME :/) ARE QUITE FUNNY ACTUALLY.

AS BOTH OF THEM WERE FROM HWACHONG SO YNG TYNG KEPT PESTERING THEM TO SING THEIR SCHOOL SONG. HAHAH. BUT THEY DIDNT.

ADVANCED LIFE SCIENCE'S MORE OF BIO SO IT MAKES ME START TO WONDER IF I SHOULD TAKE BIO OR PHYSICS IN JC. I THINK THAT BOTH ARE ALL OKAY LEH. ARGH. NOW IT SEEMS THAT I HATE CHEMISTRY MORE THAN THE OTHER 2. :O

AT LEAST NOW I STILL HAVE NATIONAL DAY HOLIDAYS TO LOOK FORWARD TO!

I LOVE SINGAPORE! :D

HAHAHAH. I AM SERIOUS K! XD

AND THIS!

BU NENG SHUO DE MI MI! :D

08.07.07

2007-07-08T07:45:00.000-07:00

it's raining very heavily now. and the lightning is scary. :/

anyway! i just went for yuhua concert band's concert to support my brother with hui kuan and jasmine. :D it's so cool! i love their performances. (:
i appreciate their effort in making the concert to be a very fun one with music+skit+dance. it's kind of different from the normal concerts. but they didn't neglect the music as well. it's good (acc to huikuan and jasmine.) hahaha. i like quien sera (another ver of sway) and highlights from spirited away and of course festive extravaganza! where they change into more colouful t-shirts and just jammed.
i love the percussion! wah. they came in from the back and down the 2 sides up on stage. that guy was so cool to stand on the drums and hit the drums and cymbals like a real drum set! hahaha. and the skit was funny. there's even storm where they use biscuit tins, rubbish bins and bin covers as instruments. zai! :D
so cute to see my brother dance. :P okay lah, not bad.. hahahah!
i bet he's grateful to me as i persuaded him not to quit band when he wanted to that time. :)

after the concert, i went to have dinner with them at asian kitche. i had zha jiang mian! :D it was quite nice! but i had no money so huikuan paid for me first. :)

i like leehom's new song! 落叶归根！ very nice! :D

远离家乡不甚唏嘘
幻化成秋夜
而我却像落叶归根
坠在你心间
几分忧郁几分孤单
都心甘情愿
我的爱像落叶归根
家唯独在你身边

07.07.07

2007-07-07T08:32:00.000-07:00

today's date is 070707. :)

youthday funfair yesterday.
i stayed in our class stall most of the time. because i spent all my money very quickly. all on food and drinks. oops. HAHAH. :D root beer is nice!
not a lot of people came to our stall but amazingly our earnings was still okay. i think its because we 赚自己人的钱. hahaha.

then sanjiemei went to find all our teachers to participate in the wangwang eating competition. and they ALL really came.
mr tan chik leng, mr kelvin tan, mr james tan, mr koong, mrs lai participated in the first round. at first i thought that they will all gobble up the wangwang. in the end they were eating so slowly lah. i cannot stand it. hahaha. mr james tan and kelvin tan even finished the last piece at the same time purposely! because they dont want the cheese wangwang as the prize, we gave them a BIG cup of drink each. james tan even said that it was worth it. hahaha.
then mr shone came, so we "forced" him to compete with ms lena teo and jingyu. mr shone and jingyu had a close fight. HAHAHHA. you should see how mr shone stared at jingyu. it was so funny! :D and of course mr shone won.
our teachers are really very supportive. hahahha. :)

too bad the last photo was blur, if not you can see mr james tan's expression! :P

before the funfair closure, our whole class went back to class to learn how to dance miracle for td. it was quite fun. especially when all of us counted 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 PAH! :D

after the whole thing ends, renice and i went to get a hair cut. my hair is much thinner now! feels lighter. hahah. as usual, the hairdresser must comment that my hair's very black and thick. :O but i like my hairstyle now. :)

life couldn't get better... HEY!

27.06.07

2007-06-27T03:43:00.000-07:00

school has kind of become a routine.
you get used to it almost immediately.
that's quite sad isn't it?

hahah. i realised i love to complain about everything and anything.
i believe that after my school years, i will be lamenting about work and how i wish to go back to school. ok. i can totally visualise that.

and i hate chemistry lessons. i don't understand what she is trying to teach us. :/ what is the difference between electrolytic cell and electric cell? argh. but IH lessons are really nice. :) i just like the "free-ness" of the lessons. hahaha.

no cca from now on, only occasionally. hhahaha. so nice! but guides stuff will pop up some how or another. but still ok, we need to do something too. :)

lastly, forgive me for this random post. :)

23.06.07

2007-06-22T09:30:00.000-07:00

ohman. i really hate chasing after everyone.
because it makes me feel like a naggy old grandma.
but too bad, that's my job.

18.06.07

2007-06-17T09:52:00.000-07:00

today, i made use of time well by completing my sketches for physics SIA

and a really GREAT movie/vcd:

SPIRITED AWAY

a jap anime by hayao miyazaki (the same animator as howl's moving castle and princess mononoke)

it's really cool and nice. i like the story, the anime, how the characters are drawn and the music. well, my brother's concert band is playing a medley of the songs in this movie for his concert so he decided to show me this movie. it turned out to be a very nice movie. :D

chihiro (the girl in the poster above) is quite cute.

haku is cool. hahha.

the cutest are the enchanted soot balls! :D
definitely a good movie to watch. :)

16.06.07

2007-06-15T10:42:00.000-07:00

it's 1.40am now and i can't get to sleep.
not that i always sleep very early, it's just that i've got nothing to do now and i'm very bored. :/

quekie should be on her flight to japan now. hahah. so nice can go japan holiday! :)
wah. it's been a long time since i travel to a country further than malaysia. last time was india. :)hahaha. last last and last last last times were australia. :D i like singapore airlines. i just don;t like the food. hahaha. last year when we went india, i still remember that zhiying and i were trying the indian food, and we couldn't really take it. hahaha. so we just ate the main course. that's the only edible one (for us lah!) i think gaomin ate most of it. HAHAHHA. :D

one more week left! i must make use of my time. :)

13.06.07

2007-06-12T22:57:00.000-07:00

only 1.5 weeks left to school reopen. :(
and i don't know why i must fall sick every holiday. this time food poisoning. :/
i hate the medicine. yucky, especially there's the powdery one which you have to dissovle in water. ok. i must get well soon!

argh. i'm supposed to do my LA essay now. But as i stare at the list of questions, i have no idea on what to choose. sian+lazy=stone.
maybe i shall just choose a boring one and write.

but the problem is all the questions are kind of boring. :X

p.s. yay. i'm happy that so many people like the pictures that i took. so proud of myself! ahahhah. thanks to my nice camera phone and the pretty scenery. :D

09.06.07

2007-06-08T23:53:00.000-07:00

Pictures speak a thousand words. I'm too lazy to type out what happened, so I shall just post some pictures that I took in Malaysia (actually, I took a lot because I didn't really fish. :D) Very pretty k! hahah. :P

sunrise!
stingray!
squid!

It was really nice and relaxing when I was surrounded by the sea for 2 days. You wake you see the sea, you smell the sea, you feel the sea breeze and you "sleep on the sea". quite cool. :D hahah. oh. and you see the sunset and the sunrise! and how the colour of the sky changes in the evening and in the morning. and how dark it is at night and all the stars! :)

26.05.07

2007-05-26T08:06:00.000-07:00

This morning, I went to school to meet for physics SIA. I brought a lot fo toyrs. hahha. :D It was quite fun though our toy didn't really work out. But we thought of another idea that's quite cool. it's a bee leh! hahah. Hope it works. :)

Then, my parents came to collect report book. aiyah, mr tan was busy when my dad went in so mrs lai had to be the one talking to my dad. Don't ask me why is she in charge of 405 because I also don't know. :/ She just talk about very obvious stuff like comparing the results with the whole level one and read the comments out again. But nevermind since my dad don't like to talk to the teachers also. hahah.
I'm quite happy with my results. :D need to buck up on IH and LA though, as usual. :/ I think you really need to motivation to do well in your studies or in any other areas.
I was talking to renice today and I was saying that I want to do well because I care. It's really quite fake when you say that you don't care whether you do well or not. I'm just that I'm not that affected if I don't do very well in a test or something. I can forget very quickly. heheh. 可是还是要尽力做自己想做好的事，这样才对得起自己嘛！:D

We met huiqi and the rest to go to hci to bring the p6 kids over for school tour at 1plus. but the hci side was so slow, as in they cannot get everything done on time. The teacher was so annoyed by the noisy students. hahah. The tour was shortened from 1.5hr to 0.5hr and they are still not ready. So mrs ho had to cancel the whole tour and we had to walk back school again. So sad. But mrs ho is very nice. :D She kept apologising to all of us, and I can see that she's like a friend to 407. I'm quite envious because we don't have a teacher that we are very very close to.

After resting for a while, I accompanied rencie to bugis to collect aomething from her dad's friend. Then 顺便去 art friend to get some material for physics SIA. I love that place. so cool. :D When we went home, the mrt was SO packed and renice so poor thing had to carry that big luggage. We couldn't even squeeze into the mrt. :X Had to miss a few trains. Why must everyone go bugis and orchard huh?

Lastly, I want to share a quote from 100% senorita. Though it's cliche and random, but i think it's quite nice. :D hahah. it kind of rhymes too. :)

逃避不一定躲得过
面对不一定最难受
转身不一定最软弱

I wish everyone (and myself) a happy holiday! :]

20.05.07

2007-05-20T06:56:00.000-07:00

There's some problems with (my) blogger the past few days. I can't seem to blog. But it's alright now. :)

okay, I'm very slow but nevermind.

We celebrated elaine's birthday last sunday! :D

Because we couldn't get everything on time, I had to call elaine to tell her that I'll be late because I had to go out with my family. And because I'm such a nice girl :P , elaine believed me. HAHAHA. sorry elaine! I have to do this. If not you won't have such a pleasant surprise. :D

But I was so stupid. I should have gotten some umbrellas from home. :/ Because when we were all walking to elaine's house from my house, it started pouring. And we had no umbrellas or what, so we just chiong all the way. poor quekie had to walk slowly carrying that big birthday cake. Obviously, we were drenched.

And.. we all didn't know which storey elaine's house is at, so we pressed all th possible storeys and quekie went to look. When we finally found it, elaine's brother had to come out from another lift and tell elaine that we are here. So we didn't managed to really surprised her. But i guessed she was still shocked. hahah. :D

Then, we went orchard for our lunch. nydc. And because nydc didn't allow outside food, we had to find some ulu corner at heeren to eat our cake. hahaha. Illegal gathering. :P But I still don't like to go orchard because there's nothing much for you to do especially when it's a big group. Just randomly walk and window shop around. Quite sian. So yiling, elaine and I kept playing the guessing game. hahaha. :D

That day was mothers' day too! So after the birthday celebration ended, yiling and I went jp to shop for gifts for our mums. I bought a shiny and pretty black wallet for my mum and yiling bought a key pouch. :D

and guess who we saw? At first when we heard someone singing at stage, we thought that it's quite familiar. And after we went out to take a look, we saw that it's diya! hahah. so cool. She was singing for the mothers' day celebration at jp. She sang angela's ying xing de chi bang and jaychou's ting mama de hua. :D

---------------------

Last week, we watched a lot of movies during class! :D For LA: The Great Global Warming Swindle. Interesting and now i'm confused. But I believed this movie more than The Inconvenient Truth. For IH: Mrs Doubtfire! This movie is so nice! and hilarious! HAHHAH. I love it. :D For chinese: A korean movie (i don't know the name) about a family lying to their father that the north and south korea had merged once again. It's quite funny and quite ouching as well. :)

as usual, sbj ruined everything. but i'm like so used to it. i didn't really feel very sad or what. is it because i'm cheerful or i just cannot be bothered? :/

i think i'm cheerful. HAHAH

today, lammie, renice, ahgao and val came to my house to do our la jc enrichment activity. i think they were quite efficient, not me because i wasn't very on task. hahah.

then we were watching boa's mv. i likes brand new beat, waiting, every heart etc! :) she can dance very well. :D renice is totally envious of her talent. hahahha.

"Only one thing's constant. Ten years from now, I'd like to be Kate's sister."

"And there is a girl upstairs who needs that kidney"

13.03.07

2007-03-13T04:56:00.000-07:00

suddenly feel like blogging after such a long time..

graces camp was fun. definitely the slackest and most relaxing camp ever. hahah. everything was so comfortable that i just take everything for granted. :P
- food was good
- lodging was good
- activities and games were quite fun, except for the communication one. errr...
- i love the dance comp. i enjoyed everyone's performance. hahaha. :D

i didnt take any photos. so my photos are with other people. hahah. so too bad cant upload any.

anyway, formal dinner was quite ok. but not as fun and exciting as i thought it will be. but it was nice "seeing" (everything was quite blur without my specs) everyone so pretty. :D i wore my specs when i watch the parade and other stuff on stage.

that night when we go back to our room was totally such a funny night lah. after bathing, all 8 of us were watching tv and eating tidbits (cos that dinner was not as nice) when... lychee came knocking on our door 4 times or more! because evelyn and huilee changed their rooms. oops. so we did a lot of weird things. like hiding evelyn in the toilet and shouting "huilee! why u go toilet so long! diarrheoa is it?!" HAHAHAHHA. we all know she is suspicious and stuff.. but owell. and THEN, she went to the room huilee was in and die die also must see evelyn face (cos eve was supposed to be the one inside) when huilee was also hiding in the toilet. hahah. so val they all came to our rm and took evelyn down to refill water. at the same time, some others dragged lychee to one side and smuggled huilee down) in the end, huilee was the one coming up with the waterbottle and evelyn went back to the toilet. she happened to walk by and huilee said "oh. i just went to refill my bottle" and went into our room. HAHAHHAH we are SO SMART right! i tell u. thats not the end. after we swopped evelyn from her rm back to ours, lychee came knocking again. this time, we quickly off the tv, throw the tidbits on the table and everyone sprint back to their beds and pretend to sleep.
BUT she still continued to knock so renice got out of bed messed up her hair and with that sleepy look, opened the door
"why? we all asleep already.."
"but i heard some noise just now"
"no lah. it was me. i jumped from my bed up and onto the other bed and down to open the door"
HAHAHHAHAHA. i cannot stand renice. she was so funny.
but so sad she insisted on coming in. so she came in and saw us all sleeping and finally went out.
phew.. HAHAHAH. that was the most eventful night ever. :D i know we are very naughty too. :P

camp just zooomed past. i wished it could be longer then i can hide from the march holidays.
this is the first time i hated a holiday soo much. i cannot wait for it to go over man. this few days, i just keep getting this funny and strange feeling. i hate that feeling. i used to have that feeling everytime im in an unfamiliar place and environment. its scary. :S
but i know i will still survive it. because im SHULI. hehhe. :D

oh. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAIPING! :D
glad u like the song we sang! ;D

today is the last day of 2006.
it has been an eventful and busy year.

i became more attached to guides. i still remember in sec 1 i really hate going for cca. i also don't know why. hahah. :D though guides camp wasn't like very successful and campfire was like in a mess, i have learnt quite a lot. just need to be more stern, loud and learn how to control the juniors. ok, that's quite a lot. hahaha. :P

305 has been a great class! :D i guess everyone identifies us by "the class who watches videos during watever free time they have". HAHAHAH.

another year has gone in nanyang. why does holidays always end before i knew it. actually i don't look forward to 2007. i have a feeling it's going to be a scary year. ok. i'm very optimistic. hahaha. a lot of things is going to happen.

should i take pga? i feel like taking. but i'm scared leh. so many challenges. and i'm afraid that i cannot cope and i'll be stressed and i will anyhow lose my temper and cause everyone around me to be unhappy. and i feel that i'm not up to it. ok so maybe i'll not take. hahaha. talk so much the conclusion is still the same. ok. nevermind. shall see first.

oh. yesterday was YA carnival. we saw ms ng! hahah. because she is the ya commisioner. we took part in the fusion dance competition. actually we were forced to participate. oh please, the worst thing u tell me to do is to dance lah. so not coordinated one.
ok anyway, we were supposed to fuse 2 or more ethnic dance together. so we chose sun yanzi's shen qi and we fuse chinese, indian and western together. basically, the whole dance is choreograph by eileen! HAHAHA. cos we just koped from our sec 2 chinese dance and this years tr's day dance and add some other steps. ohoh. and the coolest part is we pur nan zhong quan inside! HAHHAHAH. plus a little breakdance, learn from gaomin. wah. that breakdance cause me to have 2 bruises on my knees. but it was quite fun actually. :)

YAY! i fnally finished my homework! hahah. :D but i havent started on my chi sia. :/ hai. i realised i have nothing else to say except my cca and schoolwork. so boring. but i had a nice christmas party! at my cousin's chalet! the chalet is a very cute and small wooden house on stilts. she booked 2 of them since its her company's. and it was her baby's birthday. he's a christmas baby. so cool right! we had buffet and bbq for dinner! i ate a lot. hahah. and i love the birthday cake! it's a tigger! as in it's 3D and it's in a shape of a baby tigger. hahah. so cute! my cousin had a hard time trying to figure out how to cut it. i ate the ear. hahah. :P but its expensive too. :O $186. earnest is so lucky to have such a big birthday party.

i want to watch death note 2! anyone wants to go with me? hahaha. most probably i'll go on tuesday. :D

so happy new year everyone! 2007 is going to be a tough year. but we'll brave through it! :D jiayou!

p.s. must go watch silence 深情密码! it's a nice show! though a bit sad. i like park eun hye and zaizai. hahah. :D

2006-12-15T02:01:00.000-08:00

hellO! I'm back from guides camp! :D Though it was tiring and i think i did a lot of things that i shouldn't, it was fun! I enjoyed the process of preparation and the camp. time just zooomed past.

i'm going to blog about my bangalore trip! wow. i'm so fast. HAHAHAH. :P
ok. its purely for recounting purposes, so that i won't forget the wonderful things we did there! :D

SET OFF and LANDING!
it was a night flight. so we met at the airport in the evening. my whole family accompany me to the airport. yuanyuan went too. :) waited a while, took the photo with the banner, said out goodbyes, then we went in. my mum and yuanyuan kept waving at me and i kept looking back. hahah. maybe i knew that i'll miss home. :)

lucky me got the window seat! i was sitting with gaomin and zhiying. zhiying is like so familiar with all the things on the plane and so used to it. gaomin and i haven't taken a plane for a long time already. and gaomin was so excited! hahaha. she kept asking "Is it moving?", "are we off? are we off?" HAHAHA. i was like "you can feel it moving one gaomin". so zhiying was patiently telling and updating what is happening to the plane.

krissworld was down for the whole flight! so sad right! so we couldn't watch any movies or tv shows. i just read my death note! hahhah. so smart of me to bring 2 books there to read on the plane. :P then have my dinner. i took the indian meal. could not get used to the indian spices. just feel a bit weird eating them. but the rice and curry veg was nice! :D then rested and slept a while. the flight was like 4 hrs. quite fast.

when we were reaching bangalore, i look out of the window. it was so beautiful! you can see all the coloured lights. white, yellow, red. i could even see the cars moving along the roads! hahah. it's cool to see all the things so small.

i was quite excited when i reach bangalore airport. i didn't expect it to be so different from changi airport. you can say that one is like "heaven" and one is like "hell". so we went to take our luggages, each with one trolley. hahah. we have like around 20+ bags of donated items, then plus our own luggages, it's like a mountain lah. i think we look like a train pushing a trolley full of bags each out of the airport. mrs tan and ms teng were outside waiting for us. :)

when we were waiting outside, a woman came carrying a baby and beg for money. i didn't dare to look at her. she just kept pointing to her baby and said something. i felt really bad and sorry for her. :( i dont't know how to describe the feeling. you just feel very sad for her but you cannot do anything to help. we were told not to give any money. if not more will come. so we just looked away and ignored her.

then we took a bus to bishop cotton girls. on the way i was looking out of the window. everything looked so new and i said to my self that i must really take away something from the trip and this place and learn something. hahha. :)

we rested at bcgs hostel. it was a bit strange sleeping in a totally different environment. but i knew that i'll get use to all these soon. :)

[the room that zhiying, gaomin, jas and i shared. my bed is the one on the top left. (:]

GANGASANDRA!
when we woke up, we took a stroll around the hostel and school. i must say that bcgs is a very pretty school. it has this very western and european feeling. and the students there do not look very indian, some of them look like chinese. i love the weather there too! so cooling! and it's not humid at all. so you don't feel so sticky and dirty.

[blurry bcgs pictures]

[we like to write our journal ooutside under the big tree. (:]

we attended their morning assembly and had our breakfast. then we set off for gangasandra, a rural school where we will be doing our cip. the bus ride was 2.5 hrs. i love the bus rides there! though it has no air-cons, the wind was very nice! :D i slept a lot on the bus. hahah.

[random scenery pictures]

[see the sunflowers? :D my cam is too slow so can only catch a small part of it]

when i first reached gangasandra, i didn't really like the place.i don't know why. maybe of the conditions there? or that i'm just worried. but after that i'm so used to the place that i didn't want to go back to the city. the place is very natural and beautiful. the sky, white fluffy clouds and the pastures with lots of cows, goats. and i have never seen such a huge peice of land full of sunflowers all facing the sun. the scenery is awesome!

i especially like the bathing and washing area. the washing are has 3 blocks of rocks for us to wash and hit our clothes. then when we were waiting to go back to bcgs, jieying, rachel, davina and i were sitting on the blocks and talking at looking out. there was this white fence surrounding us, but i could still see the tall grass and maize outside. then we keep hearing the cows moo-ing. hahaha. :D then rachel and jieying still told me that they were lying down on the blocks of rocks and chatting then after a while they saw michael the photographer on the building and taking photos of them! hahahah! but i think that photo will be very prettty! :D

ok we stayed at gangasandra for 1 week. basically the things we did there can be divided into 2. one will be manual work and the other will be teaching! :D

on the first 3 days, we did the stage-building work. actually, the stage is almost done already. because the whole process will take quite some time so we could only help in the final stage of building. we just keep pounding and pounding, using those thick and big spars so that the sand will be compact together and be steady! mr chia say we will all have nice muscles after this. hahah. and the supervisor keep telling him that he's not doing correctly. his expression was so funny! hahha. so for that few hours, we just keep pounding, but you cannot really tell the difference. so we were all feeling quite down because we don't feel that we had done anything to help. in fact we feel that the workers there can do a better job than us in a shorter time. why waste their time and resources? just like what lifern says, they are helping us help them. but ms teng told us that what we see is only a small part of the whole process. and i realised that actually we are helping them be exposed to the outside world. because perhaps the people in the village have never step oit of their village before and there will not always be visitors coming. so we learn from each other. :D then ms teng said something that i could still remember "you see that this hostel is sponsored by bcbs but they may not have visited this place before. the people here are staring at us may be because they think that we are crazy, why donate money and still come here to suffer?" these words left a deep impression on me. we do not help by just wanting to put our name up there, we help because we have the heart to and really want to help. it doesn't matter in what form your help is, or how much you have donated. i think the people on the receiving end can feel your sincerity. :)

on the last day of stage building, my group was supposed to do meal prep so we didnt help out. but they put on the cement and the tiles to complete the stage! yay! :D so sad i couldn't really complete it. but nevermind! meal prep was nice too! we went to their market in an auto! autos are like taxis over there. it's not a car though, can sit around 3 people. i like the bumby ride! hahaha.

[that yellow vehicle is an auto!]

then their market was quite special. most of them were selling vegetables and fruits. actually we didn't eat any meat the whole week, just perhaps 2 meals. then there was this little boy following us the whole trip at the market. someone (couldn't rmb who. :P) said that he was staring at ms chang's money and chai's camera. so we were quite scared. the things are very cheap over there. the cheapest are veg, followed by chicken, then fruits, and fish are the most expensive. i think it's because they need to import fish from other places. by the way, we didn't cook the meals, we just did the preparation. it was ms chang and the chefs there! hahaha. the food are very nice! and ms chang talks in this indian accent and shake her head whenever she speaks to the indians. hahahah. we kept imitating her, even mr chia and ms teng also imitate her! hahahah! so cute. :D ilove ms chang's mushroom and cabbage rice! :D oh oh/ and i love the kuality's glucose biscuits! it's so delicious. hahaha! :D and the milo!

then the next 2 days, we did some random work. we were just trying to changkul soil from one area and move them to another area which is waterlogged so as to level the ground. so we formed a human chain and use those metal plates to carry sand, soil and bricks. it was really tiring. but i felt satisfied when we leveled the ground! heheh. :D

ok. then we teach for 3 days at the school. i love teaching! :D my group was at the form 2 class, which is like the pri. 1 in spore. they are so so cute!!! they have very pretty and big eyes! and they keep wanting to shake your hands! so we taught them simple songs like row row row your boat, itsy bitsy spider, if you are happy and you now it, etc. though they didnt really understand, i could see that they are trying very hard to absorb what we were saying. we did colouring on the first day too! and there was this very cute boy who coloured his whole bear and bg pink! i showed him some other colours and told him to choose and guess what he picked? he still chose the pink one! HAHHAH. he really like pink so i just called him the little pink boy! :D

then there was this girl who kept touching my hand lah! hahahah. and chai took a few pictures and saw that in the pics, the girl was touching me! hahah. so funny. :P
i think we look very new to them. they like to follow us wherever we go. and treat us like some stars and vips. sometimes i feel quite bad. are we there to help or are they helping us? :/

we also had a game session with the students there. we learnt how to play the indian traditional games like kho kho! i played with them. it's a kind of tag game. the rules are quite comnplicated. so at first, i just anyhow play and anyhow run. hahahha. but not bad i touch the person 2 times. :D

on the second last day, we went for the village tour. it was very interesting. the people there are all so friendly and treated us with great hospitality. they all showed us around their houses and offeredus biscuits and tea and gave us flowers. but their houses are all very small. only the landlord house is big. you can see the vast difference. i learnt a lot from the villagers. they do not waste anything. they don't use plastic bags, they create very little rubbish and just burn them away. they don't use stove to cook they just use fire they create. and they even make use of cow dung and spread them on the ground in front of their house. it is said that cow dung can absorb the uv rays. and they practise a lot of common sense. because their houses are very small, they hang things on the ceiling like food. then on the other hand, animals like cats cannot reach. so smart right! we visited 2 girls too. they are like going for the teacher training course. and they have to walk 1 hr everyday to get to their school! and they dont complain! must learn from them! :)

oh. before that we had a cultural performance! we performed sang nila utama for them and sang heal the world plus we are the world. they performed a lot more for us! there's different kind of dance, plus a kit and like some kind of wushu! hahah. very nice and cute. :D

at night, we had an interaction with the hostel boys. hey are actually those who lived in the hostel but moved out to let us sleep in the hostel. so nice right! we sang sings and dance the square dance! very fun! :D then they dance and sing for us too! we taught them the chicken dance. they can dance very well! hahah. like hip hop. cool man! hahaha. then we gave them souvenirs, a notepad and a pen. so they came and ask for our signatures! hahaha. :D

the last day was just purely waiting. we were supposed to set off in the afternoon. and the bus went to bombay instead! you know how far is it from bangalore! wah. so we taught them zero point and 5 stones. and we chat. oh and we called back home! i miss home very much! when my mum kept asking me "会辛苦吗？", i nearly cried. i don't know why but these 4 words keep swirling in my mind the whole trip. i know my parents are very worried about me, especially my mum. and i came back safe and healthy! :D melanie cried when she called home. i think she misses her family. :) so the bus came only at 6. late by 4 hrs! the villagers all send us off. the children were all waving at us and saying bye be. and they all want to shake our hands and they did the itsy bitsy spider actions and say all the animals we have taught them! i was so touched! :D so sweet and nice of them! i will remember and miss them all! ithink we were tired so we all slept on the bus. we only reach bcgs at 9 plus then we rushed to have our dinner. we even had ice cream lah. so it was a big change for us. in singapore, the difference is not that big. but in india, it really is. the girls there waste a lot of food and they don't think that it's a problem. it's quite sad. just like what ms koh say before hand, it's going to be an emotional roller coaster. you've got to face the fact that the people in the city and the people in the rural areas are very different.

*sorry. no pics at ganga cos my camerea battery went flat and michael was using his aptop so i couldnt charge ):

BISHOP COTTON GIRLS SCHOOL!
on first day at bcgs, we had an exchange programme with the students. we attended their lessons. i made some new friends, like piyanka, vish and kris. they could rmember our names so fast and i took so long to remember their names lah! hahaha. but they are really nice and fun! hahaha. we keep laughing during the lessons. and i realised that bcgs is like nanyang. they were all busy copying and doing homework before lessons. they complained about their teachers too. they were like saying that their teacher was so nice when we go over. normally she just nag. hahah. reminds me of someone. :P then they are so fast learners! we did trigo in like dunno how many weeks. and they did it in 45 min!!! i think its because they revise on their own before they come for lessons.

we attended their art lessons too! we did batik! :D not the wax one but the string tying one! so cute! and its so much easier. u just take a string and tir in the variuos methods, and put the whole thing in the dye and you get your pattern! hahaha. and the art teacher is so nice! she pasted all the pieces of batik on a book booklet and gave it to us! so sweet of her! :D

in the afternoon, we went to the botanical gardens. its huge! compared to our botanical gardens. though it's not as "developed" as ours, its more natural. we just stroll around and sit around to chat. we saw a lot of squirrels. :D so cute! and there was the cnow white and 7 dwarfs structures! i like that one!

[i'm not taking mrs tan but the squirrel! hahah. can u spot it?]

the next day was india's childrens day!! :D it's a really big day in india. so they had a celebration! the younger children were all dressed in nice and colourful costumes. so cute. i took some photos. then they had a concert too! we attended the junior school one. they were all very excited when the teachers performed for them. i heard that the teachers dance to justin timberlake's sexyback! so cool! hahaha. we performed for them too, the skit again and then bunga sayang! i love that song! hahah. :D

[what we do in our room! hahah!]

[one of our breakfast! maggie plus masala tea!]

[dinner!]

[dining hall]

INFOSYS!

later that day, we went to infosys. as bangalore is an it hub, we went to visit this very big it company. i tell you it's really really huge and luxurious!!! it has a lot of companies over india and other countries. the bangalore one is the hq. so we toured around. they showed us a plot of land with trees planted by the vips. i saw bill gates tree! hahaha. :P then the prime minister of new zealand, australia, india, etc etc. really a lot of 大牌。then they have a lot of facilities, like pool, billards, swimming pool. they even have a man made lake for them to row boats lah! a bit 不习惯。 because we have been seeing the poor parts of bangalore. so its a big contrast. a lot of people are getting a bit irritated by this fact. but i feel that it isn't really a bad thing. at least the country is progressing. they can create more jobs for the other poorer people. and the objective of our exchange prog was also to try to influence the students here to help their own people. because ultimately they are the ones who can really help, not us. we are only going there for 2 weeks.

on the way back, we took their public bus. they even have seat belts for people standing you know! very cute right! :D we said a lot of lame jokes and played stupid guessing games. like the open open open close open game, and the green glass door, and the bang bang bang game. HAHAHHA. i had a lot of fun! :D

CAMPFIRE!
on the night of children's day, the boarding school organised a campfire. we sang, danced and had a lot of fun! hahah. the songs they play are the songs that we listened too. and they waste quite a lot of food too. :/ so they are like a reflection of us. and we hate to see that reflection. because after the week at gangasandra, we have changed. and we don't like what we used to be and yet the people at bcgs are just like what we are before. the feeling is very contadictory. they reminds us of how we treated the exchange people who came to nanyang. mostly we just dao-ed them. the people at bcgs are much better than us already. now i will not dao the exchange ppl le, i'll try to smile! :D

so some of us cried. i think they just missed ganga a lot. and they can't take this change. after this, i can say that we have grown. :)

DINNER!
on one of the nights, the parents of indian students who will be coming over to spore hosted us to dinner at this posh restaurant. :O we didn't really understand why must go to such a posh place. maybe they just want us to feel welcomed? anway, dinner was good. we talked and played games with them. it was a good interaction. hope to see them in jan in nanyang! :D

GOODWILL GIRLS SCHOOL
on the third day of the 2nd week, we were splited into 2 groups to go to 2 schools for exchange. i went to goodwill. bcgs is like the upper class and ganga the lower class. so goodwill is the middle class. ms teng said that we must interact with all of them to understand the situation. all in all, i can only say that they are all very NICE, TOO NICE! the whole school came back just for us!! it was actually a holiday one, because of children's day. if this happened in ny, i'll be super angry and bu shuang. hahaha. and they did a lot of things for us. they prepared dance for us, JUST FOR US. the 10 of us were the only audience. though their exams were coming. i feel very bad. they organised a lot of competitions like drawing, sketching, floral arrangement, painting etc and the principal told us to be the judge. so we decided everything. :/ then the principal took us to every class to observe lessons. we were like disturbing them. :x

the lunch was the best! the food was so nice!! they had 2 tables in the hall, and lay all the glass cups, drinks on the table. and they even have people serving us. they made us feel so guilty. the people there are all very friendly, not like us sometimes. :/ anyway, i had a good time there. :)

CSI Billingual!
in the afternoon, the 2 groups met at csi for teaching! csi isa school for children from the slum areas. their houses are like those tents that are 10 ft by 10 ft. so the whole family just live in that small area. but you don't feel sad for them because they are always smiling and so happy. they are so positive! :D and you feel so comfortable and happy with them. :D as they do not know english, we taught them very simple terms like the various body oarts with actions. hahah. they learnt quite fast. it's a great satisfaction when you know that they had learnt something from you! :)

BORNFREE ART SCHOOL!
before we set off for bornfree, ms teng told us there are really a lot of sad cases in bornfree. bornfree is a school for street children and those freed from bonded labour. the believe in teaching through entertainment and knowledge sharing. they have different art classes like dance, sculptures, music, photography etc.

and they do not have a permanent school compound. they have to move from place to place. when we reach there, we listened to their stories. i cried. because i was touched by their perserverance and strength. even though she had been tortured by her owner who burned plastic and put it on her feet, even though he had to work in a silk company, using machines so much taller than him, even though he had to work in a deafening environment which cause a lot of other children to be deaf, they were strong and positive. i really admire them. :)

we did sculptures that day, each of us had to make 4 leaves with our names on it. the sculptors there then made 4 trees so we all had to paste our leaves on the various trees. and each of the school will take one tree! :D it's very pretty! hahah.

we also played games and did some role play. it was fun! :D i learnt a lot from this day. the in-charge there all come from different countries, the lady is from japan, the juggler is a westerner. i think it's very cool. people gathering together with the same goal to get something done. i admire their spirit! :D and they had this expedition, where they all cycled 40km and took a lot of photos of child labour along the way so as to increase awareness. we must STOP CHILD LABOUR! everything which we are using now may come from the hands of a child. when we drink tea and coffee, it's the children who picked the leave and coffee bean. the cotton and silk clothing we are wearing, it's the children who plucked the cotton and collect the silk from the silkworms. the roses we give to our loved ones, it's the children who had pricked themselves when plucking them. because bangalore is a big producer of rosees to the european countries.

COFFEE PLANTATION!
on the third last day, we went to visit at a coffee plantation! but it's very faraway. the bus ride took around 8hrs!!! hahaha. so i keep sleeping.

[sipei on the bus! hahahah.]

along the way, we went to a 9 century temple. the sculpturing on the temple is just amazing! so exquisite! and the tour guide took a stick and insert through the eyes and nose and ears and the stick just come out through the other eye and ear! as in it's hollw inside! so cool right! they must have taken a very very long time to complete such a master work!

and we finally reach the coffee plantation in the evening. it's actually a student of bcgs's father's coffee plantation. he is one of the main producer of coffee in india. the house in huge! and the scenery is beautiful! because it's like on a hill. so we took a stroll round we learnt about the process of producing the brown coffee beans we see. the fruit is actually red. then when u squeeze it, theres 2 sticky greenish white coffee bean. so you have to go through the machine to squeeze the fruit thing and wash off the sticky thing. hahah. then dry them. i also know that the rounder ones are those of better quality! hahaha.

[a field of coffee beans out drying!]

then we had dinner. they have a lot of servants. and they are all very cute! hehehe. reminds me of mr tan chik leng. and their toilets is so so big! bigger than my room lah! and there's more than one! ok so yo can imagine how big their house is. then they have to boil the water using firewood in the morning so as to get the hot water for bath. so cool right! and they have cows to provide milk, hens to provde eggs! everythign is so natural and fresh there! :D

the next morning, we climb up the coffee hill! hahahah. where all the coffee plants are. it was quite tiring. but it's worth it because the scenery up there is WOW! hahahah. :D we just stand there and feel the wind and see the green fields and trees! oh oh. and it was up there where i got a leech bite! wow the leech is so powerful! it bit through my sock. hahahh. at first i didnt feel anything. then i saw a brown round thing on my sock. at first i though it was a ladybird so i took a rock and sweep it off. and it just clinged onto my sock. then i realised its slimy and is a leech! and i didnt know i should not sweep it off. so my wound just keep bleeding and wouldnt stop. soon my sock was stained with my blood. and there was nthing i could do si i just stuff a tissue there. hahaha. only me, gao, lifern and peixuan got bitten. hahah. but it was an experience. at least i know that i should let it bite and let it grow fatter and bigger and drop off when it has sucked enough blood. hahah. but i guess it's human instinct to sweep it away.

so later in the afternoon, we went back! THANK YOU UNCLES AND AUNTIES at the coffee plantation! they are so cute and nice! i'll remember them! :D

SHOPPING!

we went shopping on the last day. i love shopping there! hahaha. i bought a lot of things! i brought 100 sing dollars which is 2700 rupees. we were supposed to shop in groups. and my shopping group has sipei, minx, gaomin, chai and me. and we call ourselves simbananagaochailili. minx is simba and sipei is banana! OH. and my name in kannada (the language there) means sun! surya! (shuli ah) so cool right! hahaha. 我跟太阳很有缘！

i bought a lot of things. let me see. here's my 战利品！
-10 cards for friends
-1 coffeebean notebook
-2 mini books for my teachers
-bookmarks for 305!
-lots of bangles for friends!
-5 pairs of earrings for myself and cousins!
-3 scarfs for mums and aunts
-1 skirt for myself! :D
-1 bag for myself too!
-3 t-shirts for brothers and me
-1 wallet for my dad
-1 hankerchief for my mum!
-1 letter holder for my family!

i think that's all! hahaha. i cannot bargain! so have to ask sipei to help. but there's a price to pay for bargaining. hai. nevermind! :D

YAYY! i finally finshed recounting! it's such a long and boring post. :O i salute you if you ever finsh reading the whole post. hahaha. :D

i was really happy to see them again. :D
i miss sitting together with them and just talk about random stuff and laugh like no one is around. hahah. :)
dinner was nice! a lot of things to eat. hahah. i still remember shinyi's cold fishballs. i bet no one has tasted fishballs that cold before. hahahaa.
i like the chicken wings though. and the fruit tarts! and the seedless grapes! ohoh and the curry chicken! hahaha.
but we brought too much so we had leftovers. we gave some to the security though. they look very grateful when we gave them the food. hehee. :D
then we have the slideshow presentation! ahh. so cute and funny! all the photos showing us in our most unglam positions and poses. and the wonderful memories. :D
it was a great chance for our parents to see what we had been doing in the 2 wks in bangalore. :D

then today i went to gaomin's house to finish up the camp booklet then went to print at the nearby shop. i think it's so pretty! hahaha. because we all put in a lot of effort in it, especially calean and gaomin coming up with 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th drafts.
i'm only in charge of the design and the layout. :D i put in lots of butterflies and ladybugs (aren't you glad reniceloh? hahaha) and frogs. heheh. :D

ok. i have to prepare some campfire stuff now.
oh that day, rachel, renice and i have to be very lame and try to zi4 high. hahaha.
come on we can do it! :D
hahahah. :P

HELLO! I'M BACK! :D
Touched down on singapore at 6am this morning. The feeling was great.
My parents came to fetch me! :D
I'm happy to be home. i miss my family! :)

But i miss bangalore too.
The food, the sunshine recipes! i miss the tea and coffee!! damn good!
the children at gangasandra! so cute!
the girls at bishop cottons especially priyanka and vish and krish!
the people at bornfree art school with their strong will and cheerful nature. STOP CHILD LABOUR!
the wide variety of car horns!! hahaha. :D
the shaking of our heads as we talk. HAHHAH.
the hot topic of constipation, SHIT and FART! HAHAHAA. :P
the songs we sing. bunga sayang, heal the world, and we are singapore pore etc! hahah.
the pounding and carrying of sand to and fro which helps develops my muscles.
the children singing the india's national anthem! it's cute!
the presence of michael the great photographer. :P
the shots i have taken with the cows and buffalos. i still rmb 1 whip its tail at me! :O
simbananagaochailili! the shopping group! shopping was nice! though i hate bargaining. don't worry. i got presents! hahaha.
our teachers! ms teng, mr chia, ms goh, mrs tan, ms chang.
oh. std came to "visit" us on the 17th with the new dean. :O hahaha. she came to open the stage.
we remembered to tuck in our hair, shirts, pull up our socks and refract!
and of course i miss the team of 20!
shinyi.chai.gaomin.zhiying.sheena.jasmine.
minxuan.shuli.marissa.rachel.lifern.
elizabeth.liza.davina.sipei.shiru.debra.
melanie.peixuan.jieying :D

this trip raised a lot of issues which made me reflect and think.
i realised sometimes some things you cannot just stop it when you want to. they are just uncontrollable. it makes people feel helpless and down.
i had been on a roller coaster these 14 days. up and down. rich and poor. rural and city. 10 sq ft vs 1 million sq ft.
DIFFERENCE is a big word that I have really tasted and learnt throughout the trip.
but i can say that i have grown stronger! :D
physically and mentally. hahaha. i didn't fall sick. :)
though i cried when i listened to their stories, i knew that they do not want our pity. i have gained a lot from their attitude towards life. i really respect them. just like what shiru said.
there are many ways to look at things. it all depends on how u want to look at it. for me, i would rather be positive. :D

i guess i will upload the photos and update more. :D
guides tomorrow.

tuesday was really a busy day.
Renice, gaomin, calean and i had a meeting at kap at 8 to discuss about guides camp. metamorphosis 'o6! 发现。改变。实现。hahaha. :D
we did the patrol allocation and brainstorm about the camp theme. at first we thought of rock as the camp theme. hahahah! ROCK '06! :P

at 10, renice gaomin and i took a bus down to jurong point to meet minxuan and yanqi to buy some stuff for the bbq later at minx house. minxuan and yanqi had to buy the movie tickets before that.
minxuan: 19 death note tickets.
person at the ticketing booth: 19? one nine?
minxuan: yeah
person: that's a lot of money you know.
minxuan: (gave the person $200)
person: woah.
hahahah. :) this is the first time i watch a movie with so many people as well.
then we went to minx house to put the stuff. while they prepare to go watch death note at jp, renice and i went back to my house. because she wanted to change out of her tight shirt. hahaha. so i lent her my class t.

met the rest at the cinema. death note was really nice! there's quite a lot of hidden messages in the movie. should try to go watch it if you haven't. :D
how can someone be so smart like L and light and the lady who worked for L? but light was too cruel to kill her girlfriend just like that. ryuk is very cute! hahah. looking forward to the second part. :]

after the movie was the bbq at minx house! stella's curry was really nice! she can cook. hahah. though she sacrifice one electric kettle. hahaha. but not her fault lah. she didnt know that it is an electric one and went to put it over the fire. in the end, the whole kettle burnt and the whole kitchen smell of burnt metal. hahaha.
but the guides and elaine were outside trying to start the fire. i don't know what was the problem. the fire starters or the charcoal or the wind. it just wouldnt catch fire. we spend like 1 hr but to no avail. luckily eileen's dad came and helped us. :)
the food was very nice! though i also had bbq for the past 2 days. :O i love the cheese prawns! next time i must prepare that for bbq! hahaha. mozzarella cheese. yum! hahah. :D
we ordered 100 chicken wings so everyone was trying to finish them. but we still have around 20 ones left. i like to bbq the chicken wings though some parts were uncooked. hahah.

so far this can be the most successful class outing i ever had. only around 7 could not make it. you feel very good when you see the whole class working hard trying to prepare, some were busy cooking the curry, some trying to settle the fire, some preparing the bbq food, some bbq-ing and some trying to eat up all the food. hahaha. especially when everyone was snatching to do the work and telling the others to go eat. :) hahah.

305 is really a wonderful class. you guys are awesome!
when i was elected to be the monitress, the first thought i had was "ohman. i bet i'll have a hard time getting the class together, to do surveys, have class meetings etc etc."

i was touched when you all thank me during level closure. :) and quite shocked. hahaha. but actually, i didn't do a lot of work. 305 is a very cooperative and bonded class. i guess the reason is because we always watch videos together. we have a lot of things in common. hahah. so my job was quite easy. yanqi helped a lot as well in class matters like fff. oh. and she will never forget to return the class keys, whereas i am the one who always forget. :/ hahah. and also eileen our only councillor in class who will always remind the class not to eat in class and remind me about the meetings during recess and lunch. :O

so thank you 305.
i'm glad and proud to say that i am a part of 305 '06! :D

Most of the post-exams activities are quite boring. :/
Moreover, they don't allow to do this do that but at some times, we really don't have anything to do. :x and i cannot imagine we got scolded because our SIAs are not being exhibited.

But i enjoyed the talk by evelyn on genocide. I was glad that i chose that talk. :D
She's a good speaker. Though i was quite disturbed by the information and content, i suddenly feel very happy that i can go to Bangalore in november to do some CIP, even though half of the trip will be exchange programmes.
My parents are still not very happy that i insisted in going there. hahah, especially my mum. everytime i explained the conditions at Bangalore or the things we will be doing, she will go "你看，谁叫你选这个" she had said this at least 5 times already. hahaha. :P
We have been busy preparing for the trip lately. Making props for cultural performance, teaching materials, visual aids, packing etc. the packing was cool. hahah. there were so many bags of donated items! and we finished sorting them out very quickly. hahah. we are efficient girls. hahaha. :D
Yesterday was flag day. so tiring. my legs were aching after the whole day of standing and walking.

ok. then there was inter-class volleyball tounaments. so sad 305 didnt get anything for plate. hahah. some of the classes are really pro. but it was fun. :]

sec 4 graduation was so boring. i'm so sorry that i was not paying attention. :/ but it's really.. speeches after speeches. and so many awards. but i clapped! hahaha. yiling, renice yujie and i were all playing guessing games and talking and laughing lah. hahaha. :D

I'm glad that my computer is alive again.
But I'm very irritated by the fact that it has been brainwashed and apparently EVERYTHING is gone.
The worst thing is that our IH SIA proposal disappearred from ms teo's pigeon hole and the only complete copy was in my computer.

Well, guess i'll have to redo. Luckily, gaomin has her literature review.

I really cannot stand those irresponsible people. At least you tell me the truth right? rahh.

I shall blog before i go do my pile of homework and SIAs. :/

MELROSE CIP TODAY! :)
so fun!
The cupboards are so PRETTYYY now. I took 2 photos using my phone. :D Will show liang lei the photos on monday. :D
The tom and jerry looks so real, especially tom! I'm so proud of the first group of people.
But the clifford the RED dog also not bad. :D so cute and professional. hahah. I hope the children like it. :) I always like the feeling after a cip.

I heard that the other group of people who went weeding went to pluck rambutans! and they just eat it! minxuan say that it was very fresh and sweet! Too bad i didn't get to try it. But zhiying said they were attcked by a lot of ants. I guess its because the rambutans were sweet. :)

Then, there was this little boy, when he saw the basketball coach, he just suddenly kicked her. So he was scolded by auntie rita. After that, he came to say sorry to her. He looks very cute hiding behind the door. :D Though i don't know why he wanted to kick her, maybe because of his family background? :/ it's kind of sad. But i'm glad that there are a lot of people who's willing to help. :D

I realised that all the regional cip teachers are very nice. :D I think I'll enjoy my end of year programme very much! :D

I'm too tired to blog. =/
It seems so useless talking to a blog, so these days, I will always decide not to blog at the end when i wanted to in the beginning. I don't understand why too. hahah. weird me. :x

random facts!

Recently, I have not been paying attention in class. Nothing seems to get in.
Conclusion: I'm going to be so dead during EOYs.

CIP tomorrow!
Hope that nothing will go wrong. :)

will blog more if I can and if I feel like it. hahaha. :P

we had cross country today. I didn't get to run because of guides duty.
after that, had class gathering at primary school.
why has everyone grown taller except me? :(
hahah. just normal chit-chatting with friends and teachers.
ms lim is going china again. she is always going overseas to teach the children over there english. i guess it's quite fun as you get to "have a rest". hahaha.
then, we went to macdonalds for lunch. ok lah, not bad, around 20 plus people turned up. so we occupied quite a lot of space. :X
and i didnt know until today that sharon went to vj ip. i only know she transferred to another school. :/ hahah.

ndp on monday. i hope guides' marching was ok. i hope my footdrill improved. :/ i did try very hard to do the stamps properly. just that i really can't do it nicely. :(

i think the fc did a good job though! hahah jiayou gaomin!

school life is getting boring.

or has it always been so? :/

p.s. thanks chaiping for the keychain! :D

wth. what public apology please.
poor rachel.
though i admit that wearing the hongzi and skirt of different colour is a bit weird, but that does not need a public apology right? :/
can you imagine the others' reaction?
"..........." :X
she is weird.

ok nevermind!
today we went for another recee trip. this year i have a lot of recee trips. regional cip (local cip) also need to recee.
anyway, everyone is like footdrill footdrill footdrill. all of them are like fc except me and sharlene. so we could not eat any heaty food. :( they like mothers lah. hahahah.
even olivia also too "into" footdrill already.
when we were in plaza singapura, we were deciding to go to the food court for lunch.
guess what oli said?
"hey people! lets go food-drill!"
(foodcourt-->footdrill)
HAHAHAHA.
i can only conclude that all the fcs are really suitable to be one!
:P

after that, i went to meet yiling at jp. shop around and ate ice-cream! :D
im broke after that. hahah.
we bought some very pretty stuff. :P
hahaha.

2006-07-23T07:26:00.000-07:00

I've decided to blog about think tank 2006. :D

At the beginning, I totally hate think tank because it was the day before that horrible friday which thus ruins my plan of chiong-ing my chemistry and geography.

But after I attended it, I felt that it was a fruitful event.
I learnt a lot from the session.
mdm mak and mrs chek were friendly and nice.
So we complained quite a lot. :P
Like the IP programme and the never-ending, everlasting SIAs...
CCA, Food and funfair sale of coupons.. etc.

I realised sometimes we tend to think too much.
One example was the guzheng.
their cca was on saturday. and sharon mentioned that she heard her friend from guzheng saying that it may be because co is a much "older" cca so they had to let co use the music rooms first, causing them to have their cca on saturday. so the school will respect co more. in the end, mrs chek explained that the reason is simply because their instructor or teacher is only free at saturday!
then mdm mak asked a few questions.
what is the colour of co costumes?
blue.... and black.
what is the colour of guzheng costume?
blue and purple.
which one looks more expensive and of a better quality?
silence........ followed by some giggling.
hahahah. everyone know that the answer is guzheng please.

conclusion: we should not think so deeply. think simple and you will be happier! :D but don't be too gullible also lah.

then another one was the ip vs o level.
do you feel that the ip students are more taken care of than the olevel students?
well.. actually i think so.
but i think we also cannot help it. the school is made up of more ip students than olevel students. but maybe we can be more considerate towards them. :)

another issue we discussed for quite a long time was school spirit.
do you think nanyang lack school spirit?
actually i think we are still ok though a lot of the rest said we do lack school spirit. especially when we compare ourselves to the raffles family.
but i have this sense of belonging to nanyang actually. :D i think a lot of us have.
but in the first place how do you define school spirit?
alot of us love our class, love our cca but not our school.
but then isn't the school made up of us people?
you can't possibly like the school building isn't it? hahaha.

then the counsellors asked us if the house system will help.
personally, i don't really like the house system. i think that its kind of extra. it is just dividing the school into different groups again.
in addition there will be more work. inter-house games, inter-house meetings. maybe there will be another sports day too. hahah.
and mdm mak mentioned that we cannot possible have the same house names qin shen duan pu as nanyang pri right? hahaha.

overall, i like the think tank session though at first not many people wants to talk. hahah. and i realised that there are actually a lot of people who cares a lot for the school! :D

Have you ever felt that you
should not have said what you have said?
should not have done what you have done?
should not have reacted the way you reacted?

I keep feeling this way recently.
I have been reflecting and thinking. Maybe i should not talk so much. :X
But I need to give more of my own opinions.
okay. contradicting.

I hate to regret.
Especially regret about my own decisions and actions.
Because I have no one to blame, except myself.
