This is what happens when I refuse to wake up when the alarm clock rings. I had to pay extra $4.80 for the taxi fare. The thing was that I had to be in school by 0830 yesterday morning. I set the alarm to ring at 0630 but I was too tired and refused to wake. Therefore I woke up only at 0750, and was I shocked!! But I managed to reach school at 0820 anyway. We had to do newspaper collection and it was extremely tedious and tiring because the blocks my group covered was really long and with many lifts. The block was divided into 3 sections that were not at all connected unless you went to the common corridors. Spent the most time on that block. We started off at 0845 and ended only at 1400. We could have left earlier if not for waiting for the truck to come. Anyway, my legs are aching today because of yesterday, which was quite surprising because I didn't have muscle aches even after running 2.6km last Thursday. Talking about the run, today we ran 3km. I realised that my stamina have improved quite a bit because the climb up the slope wasn't so taxing anymore. I suppose my timing was between 18-19 minutes. Oh yeah, we did the Chemistry practical on esters today. The ester totally stank, even though it was supposed to be sweet smelling and the phenol caused several injuries. It seemed more acidic than the mineral acids even though it's not. The school provided us with lousy plastic gloves [instead of the rubber ones my teacher promised]. Apparently, MOE has got no regard for our safety. My partner and I tried to smuggle out the ester but I was caught by the teacher even though I tried to bluff her that the suspicious looking packet wasn't the ester. She eventually found out that my friend had it as well and forced us to give it up. Oh well, anyway it stinks.


This is so totally dumb. I turned up for the CO orientation on time only to find so little people in the CO room. Apparantly, many year twos decided not to turn up. Only the committee and 3 other year twos [including me] went for the orientation. The year ones appeared perhaps 30 minutes later because they have got some election thing going on. Anyway, I was strolling with 2 other girls, hiding in the toilet and later walking around the school to avoid participating in the orientation. But we eventually turned up in the end at around 1640. They were playing 终极密码。Basically, you guess a number between 1-1000 [actually it was supposed to be 1-99 but they changed it] that this particular person has chosen. If you guessed that number, you would have to do some forfeit. And very unfortunately, I got it twice. When I first got into the room, I guessed it and 2 turns later, I got it again. They made us drink this concoction made of biscuit, H2O [the drink, not water] and chocolate. It actually smells nice and taste okay, but the aftertaste was horrible. It got really sweet and irritating to the throat. Imagine having to drink it twice. But anyway, when I got it the second time, the organising people decided to help me a bit by telling me the names of some year one guys that I could call to help me drink that disgusting substance. The 1st person I called refused to drink it [he was from my section] perhaps because he already had it when I was going into the CO room. The 2nd person however, voluntarily drank it happily. He seemed to like it a lot by the way. After that, we played another ice breaker, 大风吹。Can I not explain it? For those who know how it goes, I had to run almost every time and was always one of those that found a seat after many others found them. I think I was behaving rather slowly in terms of reaction. But anyway, I was lucky not to be the last one standing because those people had to do an extremely disgusting forfeit. Can I not talk about it? There's too much detail to write. I left at 1730 for tuition, which was after the forfeit was done. There was this particular person that didn't really believe that I was leaving for tuition, and her actions really pissed me off. Got my tutor to write a letter to prove that I was at tuition when I got there. And when I told him that I was in CO, he was momentarily stunned, saying that I don't look like it and was laughing away. When I told him I was in Girl Guides in secondary school, he said I didn't look like it either and said I looked more like those who would take part in NCC. What did he mean?! But it was quite funny, so I was so mad anymore with that person. Tuition wasn't too bad today. [There's a new entry below.]

Been really busy this week. No time at all for many things. For example, there was Math test today, and yesterday while studying for it, I fell asleep [because I was lying on my bed, feeling so exhausted yet studying at the same time]. I didn't even know how long I slept until my sister woke me up at 2230. I was busy practising for CO on Monday, doing Math tutorials on Tuesday, mugging again on Wednesday. Wednesday was really tiring because I was feeling extremely stressed in school with my results and my cca.
1. I was worried that I can't pass my 'A' levels this year.
2. I have to take my 3rd physics SPA assessment for skills B, C, D when many others don't need to take it anymore because they have >13 [out of 16] for each skill.
3. Those Y1s at CO are so good, I think I am a pile of shit. I practically screw up everything.
4. My future is bleak.
5. I probably will not get B4 for my Chinese.
So in all, I was mourning more than mugging on Wednesday, and I was so stressed that I fell asleep without finishing what I want to do. Perhaps the only good thing that happened was that I didn't fail my Chemistry test too miserably. I got 10/25, which isn't too bad already. But I suppose that I will be going for remedial classes. Some girls in my class think I am hardworking, but in fact, I don't think so. They are so smart already, so obviously I have to work harder to catch up. But yet I am still not working!! One of my friends told me that my Chemistry teacher said I was switched off [not paying attention] in class. She and another girl was having a talk with her after lesson one day and she started saying who was not paying attention in class. I supposed she named all the girls except 1 or 2? But they spoke up for me by saying that I was already at Carboxylic Acids for my tutorials [she was 2 chapters behind me]. And tomorrow I will not be free to go to the movies or anything because I will be out the whole day. I have old clothes collection on Sunday, meaning my Sunday is also gone since I have to complete my homework on Sunday as well. Can't watch Elektra because of the lack of time. Probably have to wait til next week, but I will never be free from Mondays to Wednesdays. And I am still not sure if I am going running tomorrow. Hopefully I am because I probably have to run 3.2km next week during PE. And I still have to go back to school later for some orientation thing. Will be home only at around 10pm because I have tuition after that.

今天好开心。一走到parade square就听到我最喜欢的歌-滨崎步的'walking proud'。虽然只是播了几秒，我已经很满足了。我想着种心情你是不容易理解的。[好幸苦啊！] 今天我有一堂free period。就跟平时一样，我和两个朋友一起走去食堂。我们都不要跟那个OPEC坐在同一个餐桌，所以就特地找一个只有三个位子的桌子。过了一下子，我们班的一些男生便过来和我们坐在一起。也没什么大不了的。可这时OPEC也过来了。只是他没有和我们一起坐。他坐在我们旁边的桌子。我想他自己也知道班上的人都不太喜欢他。还挺可怜的。同班同学都在身边，可是就是不能和大家痛快的坐在一起。可我想他那种人，没有什么朋友也是活该。上华文课的时候，老师跟我们说了一些故事。还觉得挺好听的。虽然我因为某些事而对他感到不满，可是，我还是认为他是值得我尊敬的。[不行了。。。]
I better type in English to speed things up. Still need to go to the Matrix to copy my Math notes. Anyway, CO today was quite meaningful. Learnt quite a lot of stuff without getting scolded by the conductor. Finally got motivated to practise with my drumsticks. Now my wrists are hurting. But I realised that after practising, I seem to be able to write faster [I did some Math homework just now]. 对了，这首歌，心中的日月真的很好听。有空的话就听一下93.3的广播。kyl, I guess the invitation is screwed since you didn't receive it. Maybe you want to doublecheck or something?


When I reached home yesterday, I discovered from my sister that we are now able to view National Geographic for free! And besides that, our internet connection has been upgraded for free to double the speed we are having now. That's totally cool! Anyway, I got this hair wax yesterday. Tried it and had quite a lot of trouble with it. Firstly, I am not good with styling and stuff, so my hair looked like a patch of wild grass after applying the stuff. But it allows quite a bit of freedom with styling, so you can change your hairdo as and when you like. I applied too little so my hair kept collasping. Well, Tuesday is coming soon.... Argh.


\om-nuh-PREZ-uhnt\, adjective:Present in all places at the same time; ubiquitous.

I am back from the outing. Overall, it wasn't as exciting as I expected it to be. Firstly, we were supposed to go to Sentosa instead of Orchard. Secondly, we didn't go anywhere except linger at Heerens and HMV. And that was really really dull. The lunch part was exciting. We made quite a lot of noise and talked quite a lot of rubbish. So that's about it. I suppose the next time I will be meeting them is during June or March. It's just so difficult for everyone to get together. And this time, I shall make sure that we get to Sentosa. And I want to LOSE WEIGHT!!!!! Gosh, I am so fat. Now I am at a staggering 48kg. And thou shall lose 5kg by March? Sounds quite impossible, but I must make sure I lose all that unnecessary weight and gain some muscles so I can pass my broadjump.


I am sick. I think I have flu. And I am not going to Sentosa today. =(

Wahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! I am so happy today!!! YAY!!! Finally can meet up with some old friends this Friday!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! YAY!!!! Although the percussion instructor flared up today, although I sat through the whole 3 hours of CO doing nothing, although I forgot to bring my Physics tutorial, although I still have not yet done my B-field tutorial, although I feel like a piece of unwanted crap during CO, although all the year ones are better than me, although there's Physics Skill A SPA on Thursday, although my Chemistry tutor commented that my set of notes on Tests and Identification of Organic Compouds was not exactly what she wanted despite me spending a whole Sunday on it, although I am going to fail my Chemistry test, although I have to sacrifice my sleeping time to blog, although... although so many horrid things happened today, I am still very happy!! Yay!! Finally I am going to see them again! Have not felt so truly happy and excited for a very long time!

Received a message yesterday night telling all TJcians to wear red today to celebrate the Lions' victory in yesterday's Tiger Cup. !!!!! I thought it was some sort of prank until I double checked with my friends. And to my surprise, quite a large majority of the school wore red today. People cast curious glances at me as I went to school today. I mean, we were supposed to wear half uniform. Meaning red top and green skirt or pants. It looks kind of weird. Actually I was quite surprised by the spontaneousness of the class. I expected at least 3/4 of the people wearing the usual uniform. During Physics lecture today, the lecturer forced us to do the Kallang wave. And we were all rather dead. But he was very enthusiastic about it. Let's try from the right!! Let's try starting from the centre spreading out!! I see a lot of phase difference here and there!! You people look so cute!!!!!!! ... PE wasn't so bad today. We ran 1.5km outside school. Except that I was rather slow.


YAY!!! Singapore won the Tiger Cup!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

-------------------------------------------
Yay!! I am home already!!! Friday is the best day of the week since I can get home early. Pity I got tuition, meaning that I have to get out of the house again later. Also fixed my cbox since M and kyl said that they both can't see what they are typing. The thing is that the input field that appears in my screen is yellow, so if I use white as the field colour, I won't be able to see a thing. I thought there was something wrong with cbox so I didn't bother much, but it turns out to be my problem. Well anyway, I have fixed it so everyone should be able to see what they are typing regardless of whether the input field is black or yellow in colour! HAHAHA!!!! And I managed to finish my Chemistry test today!!! I don't think I have ever handed in a completed script before. But the thing is that my answers are not exactly correct. But who cares as long as it's complete. It's one milestone for me already. Ha!


Yay! After so many weeks, I have finally changed my skin! Pretty Elektra! I am looking forward to the movie!!!

And now my blog plays a different tune! Turn up your speakers!!


Life is so full of surprises! Today was one of the best CO practises I ever had because I was spared from the scolding and the instructor even said :"今天三角铁[which is me]不错嘛。" HAHAHA!!

[Edit]
After publishing my blog, I went in to take a look. At first I though my ears were playing tricks on me [as it always does now] but on listening closely, I heard Harry Potter's Symphonic Suite!!! I didn't know that from the 1st time I used the 'Sirius taking a bath' skin!! Since I did not change the html, the music still plays. But it's really soft so maybe you need to up the volume of your speakers. Nice!! Listen to the part when the bells play!!

Bloody hell!! Today was really freaky. First was Chemistry practical. I was perpetually worrying about how the liquid would squirt out when I was heating it. Every single test seemed to involve inhaling some toxic gas. It really got on my nerves. And the teacher was even commenting on how the gas evolved smelled 'sickly sweet'. Oh purlizzz!!!! Just give me a break! The worse thing to happen was that my beloved Harry Potter book got really dirty after I left it under the bench. I mean, the cupboard under the bench. Well, sort of. The whole classroom really stank after the practical. Was supposed to have PE today. But those morons - those teachers were missing during the entire lesson and did not even inform us about it. We could have gone home much earlier if we knew. Well, not having PE was probably a good thing. I walked out to the bus interchange as usual. It was raining and I had trouble coping with all the things I had to carry. Actually it wasn't much. Only my Harry Potter and the umbrella. Anyway, I was stopped by this guy who wanted to get donations out of me. My gosh!!! Why are there so many of them out on the streets nowadays?????? It's so totally irritating. So he starting of with: " 小姐我不是坏人。” [Like DUH! That's what they always say. I know it's another donations fellow if I hear that]
So I said ：“不要，不要，不要。”
And very dumbly, as I walked away, he actually echoed after me!!! What the hell. Can't he just go and get a better job or something instead of standing on the streets asking for donations when he cannot even be polite. STUPID. I was really pissed after that. Could feel my face getting hot and temper rising.
Can't really bother to write anymore. I am taking a great risk here because I should be practising for tomorrow's CO instead of grumbling here.


\DOW-tee "OW" as in "cow"\ adjective : marked by fearless resolution : valiant
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wow! That was totally amazing! I actually put down my Harry Potter to blog! Well, anyway, I had loads to say so I felt much better blogging anyway. [Am I doing justice to my book?] Everyday [as always] started out seemingly normal and boring. Went about my daily business. Washing up, breakfast and more recently reading my newly acquired Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix. Was going to meet up with M later. So I met her at twelve noon and decided to eat lunch. Did not really get to eat because no one really felt hungry. Bought some bread to chew on. We walked all the way down to school, got there quite early. I was not very willing to get into the school compounds. Those NCC people were guarding the doors like some security guards waiting to chase people away. Seriously! They should change their recruitment tactics. M pulled me into the school without much difficulty. And as usual, I was grumbling and moaning and hoping to get the hell out of there. I was really worried that I would be chased out. Talked to 2 teachers briefly. They must have forgotten my name. Oh well. At least they still remember vaguely who I am. I was really uneasy. And I always wanted to just run out. We walked across the assembly plaza. Then something really unexpected happened. My juniors actually greeted me!!! For the first time!! Oh my goodness!!!! I am extremely grateful for that by the way. But I must confess that I can't recognise any faces. I reckon I must know at least one of them. Maybe I glanced away too quickly. But I also waved back to them. We walked back towards the staffroom and was told by my geography teacher that the teacher we wanted to visit had already resigned. That was kind of shocking. Never knew that would happen. Said he's going to do something really meaningful to his life. Going to UK to study more. Good for him then. Getting the arse out of here. [Now I don't mean any ill feelings here if you noticed.] Went back to Parkway feeling kind of depressed [because of some other reason] for tuition. Kyl was late again. But I must say that tuition went quite smoothly. We ended on time! That's really kind of rare. Ate at Mos Burger and the counter people [or whatever you call them] made a mess out of our orders. Walked around the place and M saw her teacher. Kyl went home first because her mom was fetching her some time after we were finished with our dinner. Went to Macdonald's to get one apple pie for my brother. Saw some ex-classmates. Was staring at each other as we walked passed. Didn't make any move to say 'hi'. It would really be unnecessary as they would probably pretend they don't know you, judging from the kind of boys they are. The Mac counter woman [whatever] was rather cute. Ok, she's really quite young. Reached home at around nine. Took a bath and sat down in front of the TV [which was very rare nowadays since I would prefer having Potter for company]. And guess what!! I saw M's mom on TV!!!! That's really cool!!! It was about the coolest and most amusing thing that happened today!!! Hahaha!! Now I am still thinking about whether my juniors were greeting me or not. ...

Can't believe that this site is also encouraging us to donate to the tsunami victims!! Talk about human spirit!!! :D

There are new posts below-

Read this: In 2004, NASA took a big first step in fulfilling the Vision for Space Exploration. Sprit and Opportunity, the Mars Exploration Rovers, landed on the red planet in January and are still going strong a year later. They've already confirmed what some scientists had concluded: that open water once existed on Mars' surface. [Ohhhh!!!!!] This finding in turn raises the possibility that life may have developed on Mars long ago. In 2005, NASA will launch the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which will look for water below Mars' surface and scout for future landing sites.

I actually donated $10 today!!! What the hell was I thinking?? Do I really have so much money to spare?! Got approached yesterday to donate $5 yesterday and another $10 today?? No way!! I was walking down to Parkway yesterday and this fellow asked me what time it was. I told him and he said no [was thinking you better not tell me it's Tiger Time], it's donation time!!! Oh my goodness!!! Okay, I donated $5. $5 is a lot you know???? And it's not even to help the tsunami victims. Anyway, got approached today by this girl to donate $10. Crazy. How can you ask someone to actually donate so much money????? What is this world becoming?? Are they thinking we have too much money to spare??? Well anyway, I told her I would check how much money I have left and she peered into my wallet. And she even thought that we are only 16. And when I was walking to my bus stand, this guy approached my friend and I, asking for donations again. And so I said: "Don't ask me. I have already donated $10 today. Not interested in donating anymore." Noticed that there have been a huge increase in people asking for donations [excluding those for the tsunami victims]. It's good to help others in need, but the thing is that nowadays, people don't allow you to donate any amount you like!!! They force you to give money!! And I seriously wonder if those volunteers will donate when others ask them to do so. Of course it's your final decision in whether you want to donate in the end or not, but I think they still should give us the freedom to choose the amount of money we want to donate. Not turning people away by asking them to give $10. You think it's so easy to earn that amount?? And those volunteers actually get paid. They get paid!!! They take our money and pay those volunteers!!! Next time I will only donate to those that ask for no more than $2 for those fixed donations. Or else, no more!!!! Unless it's for really terrible incidents like the tsunami that killed so many people and rendered sooooo many others homeless. That's far more meaningful. And I just hate the way NKF raises money by forcing viewers to watch those charity shows that seem to torture those poor artistes. It's just wrong and unfair to both the viewers and the artistes. I don't feel like donating when I see those poor artistes performing those dangerous stunts. I only feel like donating when I understand the predictment of the patients. Don't you feel like switching off the television when you see those gross stunts? [Well, I understand that there are sadistic people out there that derive happiness from other's sufferings.] I still think flag day is the best. Then, you can really see kind people who really give. And you can give whatever amount you like. Wonder if any of you out there understand what am I trying to say here.

First Day of School: Boring + Waste of Time
As you know, we usually have orientation for the newcomers on the first day of school. Hence, much of the students were missing. We had our lessons only at 1000!! Wasted the whole 2 hours before that because there were no other lectures. So we had our math and physics lectures today. For physics, we had a MCQ test. I did something really dumb. I didn't change my answer when I knew mine was wrong and I had a hell lot of time to change it. So 1 mark gone. For nothing!!! But it wasn't all that bad. At least we did not start on the Magnetism lecture. I gave my friend her present this morning. It was supposed to be from the whole class of girls but only some people paid. It's okay to forget, but not okay to ignore. And that's exactly what SOMEONE is doing. Let's not start on that topic. And I went to get another girl's present today. I walked the whole mall until my foot hurt. But at least I got what I came for. And I discovered that this really nice shortbread from Marks and Spencer now sells for only $18 as compared to the previous $33! So it's something like 'buy one get one free'. Shall tell my sister about it. It's what she really wanted to buy because she said they are really nice. And I have another gift idea already, except it may be out of stock by that time. Hopefully there's no CO tomorrow. Please!! No CO!! NO CO!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!


This is the first post of the year!! Also celebrated my father's birthday today. Had steamboat for lunch and went to this restuarant for dinner. Shopped around in the afternoon. I was quite bored anyway. So much for this first post. Anyway, I am left with only my P & C tutorial and I am done with my December holidays homework!! Going to do it tomorrow morning. Looking forward to Ocean's Eleven because I watched Twelve without knowing what the First Rule was. By the way, I realised that my cousins in Aussy are going to University this year! Wow. I am as old as they are! And my sister just commented in the afternoon that 我左看右看都不像一个十八岁的人。Yeah, anyway, I am not even 18 yet.
