Hey all! Just came home from Jurong Point with my family. They were going to buy me an iPod Nano for my birthday but I couldn't decide what colour I want. Any suggestions? So, I'll have to buy it tomorrow.
For this post, since you have been reading boring things everytime you visit my blog, I'll post pictures today. They are the EL Project pictures...
Haha...I know these photos are lame but, they are for the english project as I have mentioned before. Tuition was boring again as usual...Prisca and I had a birthday lunch at Food Haven this morning at 11am...food was good. Prisca had fish and chips, I had spaghetti. Then we shared a plate of cream puffs and I drank a honeydew Freezee, whilst Prisca had a Iced Lemon Tea. Altogether, simple and delicious:)
HURRAY!!! I'm currently in school, using my TPC, and BLOGGING!! Because today is my
BIRTHDAY!!! Hurray!!! I'm finally and officially a
13-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER. But this morning, my parents didn't even mention it...they ordered me to skip choir practice to look after my brother...so that means when I'm dismissed at 1.10pm, I have to go home...sad...anyway, Prisca has to retake her composition test in Room 212 after school, so I wouldn't have a buddy to accompany me in choir...I WANT MY APPLE iPOD TOUCH!!! Yunxi is so lucky to have one...she's in NJC by the way...I'M FREAKING BORED NOW...design class sucks...at least TPCs are allowed...Have a chinese test today...sucks...
Okay, why do I keep using the word "suck"??? I'm becoming weirder and weirder as I grow up. Sorry for my lame posts nowadays but I really can't find anything interesting to blog about everyday so I seek your understanding:) Prisca gave me a cute pouch as a birthday present this morning!! THANK YOU PRISCA!!! YOU'RE SO SWEET!! THANKS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just asked my mother about my birthday and she said," Your birthday is today? I thought it was Sunday." WTH?! I just sat there on the sofa, gaping at her like some idiot. I can't believe she didn't remember that it is my birthday today! That's just plain weird...
Got back my math test today. 23/25, A1!! Must be my birthday luck! :) Anyway, the mistakes I made were stupid, so I guess I still did badly, in a way. I just got home from Clementi. Camille and I just went to the NTUC there to buy the ingredients for the Home Economics project. We bought celery, canned pineapple, cherry tomatoes, and a whole bunch of other things...I can't remember them all...By the way, I'm at home currently because I made a split second decision to skip choir today..Poor Prisca is there alone...Sorry, Prisca...will treat you to bubble tea on Monday. The chinese test was quite alright...at least I managed to answer all the questions but I'm just afraid that my answers for the comprehension weren't comprehensive enough. Okay, will stop here for now. I seriously want a bowl of steaming hot instant noodles...must satisfy that craving now. Blog later, if I can.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, I just finished watching "I'll Be There". Great movie, Charlotte Church. She has such a great voice...intimidating me...I'm in choir...and my voice sucks compared to hers...but a nice movie all the same. I watched "Aquamarine" yesterday. Its a chick flick so boys wouldn't like it. It was kind of typical of a chick flick but not that bad. But I liked "I'll Be There" much better. Nothing more to post about. Tomorrow then...

Life is so unfair...today, during HCL class, we got back our composition test marks and I got the
WORST mark in my history of composition writing: 40/70!!!! I was super disappointed when I got it back because it was seriously, that lousy. For the rest of the day, I was really depressed...pulling a long face and all that. At least, my chinese letter writing was 20/20, highest in the class...and its counted also. My chinese grades really suck...must work harder...so sad...
When I got home, my father was there and I showed him my grades, praying fervently that I wouldn't die...thankfully, I just got a scolding...tomorrow's my birthday...hope I get my birthday present despite my horrible results. Otherwise, my 13th birthday would be a flop.
Filmed a couple of scenes of our English project today...using my newly acquired camcorder which was free...Camille lost her spectacles...left it on the table and didn't take it...during LifeSkills, I went with her to search for it and it was
gone. I think someone took it.
Will stop here...sorry for such a suckish post..like my results...too depressed to blog properly...

First, it was a bad day...now it is a
FREAKY day!!! First, there was the stupid Science test which I'm pretty sure I did very badly in, even though I studied...and then, I forgot that my brother didn't go to school today and had gone to the dentist instead. So, I panicked, and almost knocked down Jaime at the door when I was rushing outside to my locker...then, Prisca and I rushed to the bus-stop. When I checked my handphone, my mother smsed me and told me my brother was left at home
alone and that I had to take a taxi...naturally, I PANICKED AGAIN but still, managed to hop into a cab. Then, the taxi driver took the longer route to my house, so I panicked again. Finally, when I reached my house, I jumped out...and almost got knocked down by a stupid red car!!!!!! Prisca dropped her wallet and almost got knocked down by a lorry!!!! What horrible experiences!!!!!
At last, when we reached my house, Prisca wanted to put her socks in her shoes outside...and SET OFF THE BURGLAR ALARM!!!! Thankfully, my fast asleep brother didn't wake up. It was like, super loud and piercing. I could have DIED!
During English class, my English group went downstairs to the CCA block to take photos for the powerpoint slides. So, the photos were a success, but I forgot to bring my connector...so have to upload later or tomorrow.
Hope I don't set the house on fire later...

Had a math test today. Scared I did badly!! My answer for 3(b) was different from Rachel's and Camille's! Hope I can get at least a 20/25! Discussed about English Project as well. Miss Sheena gave us some time to do so, but Prisca and I couldn't contribute much so it was rather boring.
By the way, Prisca came to my house today! She just left. We finished the labels for the Science Project which is due tomorrow...and we also completed all our homework! In just 2 hours! That's an amazing feat! Just joking...
Science test tomorrow...scared...must study hard
My apologies for posting so randomly...

Today is a sad day...actually, it was more than just a sad day...it was a BAD DAY!! This morning during assembly, Ms Cai caught me because I didn't wear my camisole! Seriously, the uniform cloth is thick enough! What kind of school forces its female students to wear camisoles in this weather? It is absolutely
insane! Verine was also penalized for that "offence", so Ms Cai sent us to buy a camisole from the bookshop. Then, both of us realized that we hadn't any money on us and we couldn't go to the classroom because it was locked! Thankfully, the bookshop lady "lent" us the camisole first. Have to pay her back tomorrow...$5.90...so expensive. During Science class, my group(Camille, James Lim, James Tan, me) had already finished our mind map. I was merely filing in my worksheets when Mr Firhad came and scolded me for not contributing. Excuse me, but my group finished already?! He didn't really scold but since I was still reeling from the camisole incident, I saw things a little harsher than I should. What's more, during higher chinese class, Zeng Lao Shi just had to break the news that for our composition test, it was done so badly that people actually failed! What if I was the one?? I can't bear to think of the consequences if that were true. I hope it isn't...
On top of having a bad day,
some people just had to make it worse! I shall not name the people. The only happy event today was during choir practice. We were playing solfege bingo and I won
THREE times! So happy! Since we used sweets to mark the spots where the scale was played, I got to keep a whole bunch of it! So, I guess my day wasn't so bad after all...
Soon, you my readers will notice that I don't blog on weekends. That's because I don't wish my parents to know about my blog. So, now I'll tell you about my weekend...
SaturdayMy grandparents went home to Malaysia on this day. So my father had to send me for chinese tuition at 11.45am. Tuition was a big bore as usual and also, the fact that I'm sitting right at the back doesn't help.
Youth Fellowship was great. We studied the last few chapters of the book of Corinthians. Elder Sherman Ong was really interesting . He was telling us about Paul and the meanings behind the letters he wrote in the Bible. He also highlighted a few passages on what to do when encountering problems in life. Rather nice message. At least I managed to stay awake. Next week's lesson is on "Dating and Courtship: Which is biblical?"by Pastor Issac. My father says that a lot of people sleep(literally!) in the sanctuary during his sermons. Hope my session doesn't turn out to be that way.
SundaySunday was a fun day! After church, I went to Jurong Point and met Yun Xi and Prisca there. Really fun! It was my first time going out with friends so you can imagine my delight! But I didn't buy anything. Just window-shopped. Spent only $3.85 on McDonalds lunch. Quite an achievement really. Church sucked anyway. They were briefing us about our project(!) and I was tapping my foot and looking bored as they droned on and on. It finished at 12.30 instead of 12pm. Really sucked. Christine was just as bored too. Reminder: 26th Feb: Christine's birthday.
Will stop here...P.S. I'm in school now...using tablet PC...

Hey all! Guess what? I just received the Olson Scholars Programme Scholarship today!! So Happy!! Inside the envelope, was a cheque for
$788 and I get
full subsidy of school fees and miscellanous fees! Isn't that great? I'm so happy!
The only thing that marred my day was the 9/10 for my Chinese Informal Letter Writing Test...Jessica, Claudia, Ethel and Feng An got full marks...I'm so jealous. I know I sound like such a sore loser but honestly, my heart sank when I heard my marks. I'm such a loser...I know...you don't have to tell me. Anyway, during free period, Se Kwon a.k.a. Kimchi was giving out the scholarship letters and that cheered me up! Hurray!
The new schedule takes effect next week so from next week onwards, I end school at 2.15pm and 1.15pm on Fridays. At least its better than ending at 2.25pm.
Prisca and I joined the main choir today for CCA. We just did the warm-up exercises before we were allowed to go home. Adeline lost her water-bottle in the Science Lab today so naturally, accompanied her to go retrieve it.
Prisca was whining about having to go to a Young Writer's Seminar tomorrow. Cheer up Prisca! Maybe it'll be a success for you! Wish I could go with her but I can't. I have Chinese tuition tomorrow. Speaking of tuition, I haven't done my composition yet! AHH! Must
chiong tonight...
I seriously can't wait until my birthday next week when I would officially turn 13! But being Sec 1 sucks because you're the youngest in the school and the seniors see us as "smallfry". Damn...
More tomorrow...

The Genecet science experiment came back today and it was SO cool! Our(Rachel, Ethel, Camille and I) bacteria glowed green under the UV light! I thought it would probably come back with maggots or something. Three cheers! Prisca's group's experiment failed. Cheer up Prisca!
Miss Sheena didn't come today so some relief teacher called Miss Or came in and brought the class to the Lecture Theatre(LT). There, we watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring! Waste time...and enjoy ourselves while doing that.
It was a really boring day today in HCL class. After Zeng Lao Shi gave us a mild "scolding", the class was super silent and since I slept at 11pm last night, I'm sure you can imagine how tired I was. I was resting my head on the table while taking notes...*yawn*
I'm currently downloading stuff onto my new handphone. I switched phones with my mum since she doesn't use the functions on hers, Nokia E65. So I might as well take it:) Its nice to use when you get used to it. I LOVE MY NEW PHONE!!
Please forgive me if you find my blog boring because I would hate to offend anyone if I post about my true feelings so kindly endure...
There, I think I have posted enough. More tomorrow!
By the way, I managed not to use my tablet PC at all today:):) Good girl...LOL

If you ask me to describe today, I would most likely tell you it has been a normal day, except for a couple of twists to it.
EnglishI was so pissed off during english today!! My english project group (prisca, teresa, luisa, camille and I) forced me to be the main character for the skit on lighting. I begged and pleaded, but to no avail. Because the story is about a mean and wicked girl who had no respect for anyone, and which I had to portray, teresa made me walk to the back of the classroom and later, walk down the aisle for dramatic effect!! I stomped down the aisle and just stood there, angry and frustrated. Luisa told me to look pissed off and naturally I replied, "I AM pissed off!" Julian said he didn't blame me for feeling that way. Finally, someone who understands. But Prisca hates Julian for always accusing her of things she never did.
So...we did the skit and Prisca and I ruined it because first, Prisca started laughing and eventually, I started laughing too, instead of insulting her like the script instructed. Anyway, Miss Sheena said it was good:)
MathMath today was the usual. Miss Ng was really sarcastic, again, as usual. She gave us so much homework!! SO unfair.
ChineseHad the informal letter writing test today...its counted in CA1. So scary! But it wasn't too hard. It was actually quite alright. Hope I did well.
ScienceMr Firhad gave us our bacteria back today. I didn't have much because I swabbed my cheek and hair. Proves I'm not as dirty as I thought I was:):)
Nothing eventful happened today. Mass Run sucked, as always. I'm currently in the school foyer now. I'm supposed to be doing my work but instead, I just half-completed this blog and I have to work now. So...bye...
