Today was the N.E.W. author workshop. Stayed back until 6pm!! We were taught how to use Koobits and it was fun at first, but soon, I got super sick of it and my laptop ran out of battery so since Jessica borrowed my charger, Rachel and I went to the back to sit with her and share her laptop. It was really boring. But at least I could listen to Brandon's dumb jokes behind and secretly watch youtube videos on Herman's computer (sshhh...he doesn't know). Was laughing like crazy behind. Its a miracle nobody came to scold me.
Went to the T-Zone today. It reminds me of a cafe. Rather posh, really. And the food is definitely better than canteen food.
There's an outing on the 7th of April to two rivers in Singapore. And a geography test 4 which we have to stay back for. Sigh...
By the way, I managed to run 2.4km in 16 minutes today!! That's an almost impossible feat for people like me to finish!! Prisca passed but vomitted. Cheer up Prisca!! You passed!!
Note to self: NAPFA is next week!!!

Methodist WalkHad the Methodist Walk yesterday which was a complete and total waste of time. I could have spent the morning sleeping because I slept rather late the night before, but no, they just had to make us attend the walk.
So, yesterday morning, my dad sent me to school. Met Claire, Jessica, Claudia and Camille at the walkway. We hung around for a while until there was an announcement for us to go to assemble at the parade square. Strolled leisurely there and managed to find the class, sat down. After a while, they let us out of the school compound and we walked to ACS(I). Lined up and sat down. The grass was carpet grass and it was kind of dirty. The programme before the walk was super boring. Sang two gospel songs and had benediction, speeches, the usual. Then at last, the flag-off. The VIPs went first, then we went. Walked out with Rachel, Piao Lin, Jessica, Claudia, Grace.
The walk was around the Dover area. From ACS(I), we walked to Dover MRT, then around Singapore Polytechnic, then past my brother's old school, then all the way back. 4KM in total. I walked the entire way with Rachel because Piao Lin and the others left us behind:( Rachel and I talked and talked, and the sun was like, burning. And my shirt was size M, super big. So I've learnt my lesson and I vow never to take a shirt in size M ever again.
When Rachel and I were walking into ACS(I), I saw Frederick!! Well, technically he saw me first and he shouted "Jayne Chan!" at me and I turned around and saw him. Was rather happy to see him anyway because he is a familiar face after all. So, headed to where the class was and Rachel and I dumped our bags on the ground before going to get our buns and drinks. My dad picked me up after the walk was over.
TuitionTuition yesterday was rather boring...the usual. Had 大风吹 today but nobody drawed my seat number so I'm still sitting in the same place, right at the back. Dongwei moved to the second row...and Zhiyong moved to somewhere in the middle. Now, I'm sitting beside Chongsin. Noooo..I mean, I have nothing against him or whatever but he isn't as fun as Dongwei. Nevermind, its just one term that I have to put up with him. I was actually supposed to sit beside Joy but she moved one seat front so Chongsin came behind...:(
ChurchChurch was VERY, MAJORLY boring today. The speaker was super boring and peppered his sentences with a lot of "errr" and "umm". Was yawning non-stop in the front seat. I was doodling on my book. Christine too. Just came back from lunch. I need to buy my assessment books, B version!! I desperately need it!! Now!! But the rest of my family is at the zoo now so I'm stuck at home.
Have to get started on my homework now...
(back to the top.)
I have been insulted beyond anything you could ever imagine. Choir is a big insult to my
intelligence! On Mondays, we are
FORCED to sing "Mary had a little lamb" and today, on fridays, we are forced to sing "123". If that isn't an insult, what is?? And the warm-ups took super long today and I was shuffling my feet back and forth, wondering when it would end. Its freaking annoying when they overshoot the time.
Was having an argument with Prisca about who was smarter, better, and god knows what else. So we were like,
Me: "Did you know there's a girl ah, she's so stupid she should be in 1H, right??"
Prisca: " Did you know there's this girl, who's engaged to
BrandonNO ONE
Me: "Did you know there's this girl who's
married to Nicholas Sii??
Prisca: Yeah lor, who ah??
Me: Yeah, her name..I think its
Prisca, right???
Prisca: Yeah hor..I think her name is
Jayne, right???
Me: I don't want to share the same air with
that girl.
Prisca: "I'm so smart...unlike
some people.../
So that was pretty much how it went for the whole time. She's currently blogging so we're not fighting now...
Nothing else to say...
(back to the top.)
Had music class for a change today. Mrs Lim was telling us about music terms and stuff when the fire alarm went off. We were told in the morning that there would be a fire drill later on in the day at around 8+ so the class left our belongings in the music lab and strolled leisurely down to the school field. Then, everyone was like, telling us to hurry up but still, we were walking very slowly because come on, its a
drill! So, we assembled, stood around, talked and talked, stared into blank space. I think I was standing still for too long and I could feel the right side of my face tingling because of the heat from the sun. Damn...hope there's no damage done to my skin. My mum would go nuts if she knew that I stood under the sun so I'm not planning to tell her...
Anyway, classes were really slow-paced today. So, I have nothing to say. Was pouring out my troubles to Rachel today during recess. I don't usually voice out my feelings but I was just so frustrated that I just talked to her. And did you know Higher Chinese class leaves people feeling super emotional after that..? Its HCL class's fault that I poured out my troubles. I mean, seriously, higher chinese seems to have an emo-ing effect on me...
Okay, I know my blog is becoming more and more boring. But there really is nothing exciting to blog about anymore.
Oh, forgot one more thing, NAPFA is next next week, wednesday and thursday, and there is some KooBits N.E.W. Authors workshop I have to attend as part of the curriculum. Damn...
(back to the top.)
Got back my report book today. Not too bad. 5 A1s and 1 A2 because I screwed up Home Economics!! AHHH!! At least my results weren't too bad. At least...
Had a really bad headache during English class today. The weather was stifling and the work was so boring and the class was super duper quiet. How could I not have a headache??
Got nothing else to blog about...
(back to the top.)
Alright, let me begin by describing my morning.
I really really really really
HATE taking public bus to school every morning! The buses always come as single-decker buses and I have to be squashed into a seat everytime because very few people get on from Clementi and when the bus goes to Dover, there will be a whole lot of students from ACS(I) and goodness knows what other schools, getting on. Then, I usually sit in an empty seat or right at the back and there's always a huge jam in the bus, due to the massive amount of people getting on! This morning, I had to
squeeze my way out from the back seat to get off the bus. Its freaking annoying! My dad doesn't drive me to school anymore...but I won't say why even though I know.
Okay, back to the subject. I mean, seriously, why can't they make buses that are double-decker come all the time??? Isn't it better?? For a lot of people?? Isn't more convenient for the public?? People like myself?? I don't get it...
School today was quite alright. But CCITP class was a big bore..There was this relief teacher called Mr Ng and he didn't teach anything at all. All he did was talk about when he used to live in Australia, Perth, and briefing us about IT stuff we are going to learn later on like: Macromedia Flash, Photoshop, and goodness knows what else. All the terms he used were super
chim and I could barely understand a thing he was saying. So, I was almost nodding off to sleep when the dismissal bell saved me from my awful ordeal and I was
free at last!
Helped Jessica edit her blog today. She chose a blogskin and I taught her how to edit her template and stuff like that. I learnt all that the hard way last time. Had to figure out a lot of things.
Ms Ng used our laptops for the entire two periods today so I have to bring my laptop home to charge. I hate bringing my laptop home. Its really heavy. And I brought my geography books home today to study for the geography test on Weather & Climate and Natural Vegetation tomorrow. Sigh..I hate tests...
And one more thing: I hate eating leftover food. It tastes yucky and the problem is, I am going to have to eat it 3 times a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays because I don't have to stay back in school! Its not that my mother's cooking sucks or anything but its just the taste of the food after having been in the refrigerator from last night till I come home. Its horrible!
Have to go eat my leftover lunch now...yuck...
(back to the top.)
Currently in school with nothing better to do...but blogging. First day back and I feel so bored already...Lessons were quite alright and I managed to finish my homework in school during the last two periods because Ms Cai didn't come in for Class Contact. Bought bubble tea
again! There's definitely going to be a significant increase in my blood sugar!!
Prisca is now complaining about her spoilt printer at home so looks like I am going to have to print out the pictures for the geography postcards. I mean, seriously, do I look like a printing machine to you? No offence...
English Boring. We just did a comprehension worksheet for the
entire two periods which sucks. I lent Eclipse to Camille this morning so that Anais could get New Moon. And I ended up having
NO book when Miss Sheena asked us to do 10 minutes of silent reading. Borrowed a Maximum Ride from Anais. Luckily she had an extra book:) Thanks Anais!
MathMATH ROCKS!!! I LOVE MATH!!! I got 23/25 for the second Math test! I thought I was going to
FAIL! At least I got an A1. One more time: I LOVE MATH!!!!
ChineseDON'T remind me. I HATE chinese! If you read one of my previous posts, you would recall me blogging about accidentally submitting my chinese E-learning paper which I hadn't even done??? Well, Zeng Lao Shi
COUNTED that!! Ahhhhhh!!!!! NOOOO!!!!! This is so NOT happening to me! In actual fact, I got 23/30!! AHHHHH!!!!! She says she is going to check again today and count the actual mark. Let's hope she finds my result otherwise I will have to do the test paper AGAIN!
GeographySigh...got another project! Why do we have to do so many projects??!! It's not fair! There were already so many projects in Term 1 alone..now, some more?? AHHH!!! The overall results were out as well...I got an A1 but I refuse to tell you my marks. Its so bad I feel deeply ashamed of it.
ScienceNothing to comment on about Science.
Altogether, the first day back at school has pretty much sucked except for MATH!!:):):) I love math and I don't even know why. Have to go now...byes!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, just received the Sungei Buloh pictures from Prisca:) They're beautiful:)
Picture of the lake...breathtaking isn't it?
Just uploaded a few pictures...:)
Okay, I know I should be excited about going to school again tomorrow, but fact is, I'M NOT! I suddenly feel as if I
hate school and that is just
wrong. I know I don't have a lot of friends in school...or rather, I don't have any close friends at all! And that is plain annoying. Plus, schoolwork is going to increase this term. At least, there's W.H.E.E.L week to look forward to. I don't mind the schoolwork but I just don't like being so lonely. Its hard for me to go to school after spending a week at home, enjoying myself. Just being me. Sigh...hopefully I'll pull through this new term and improve in geography.
Went to Science Center today. Merely looked around at some exhibits, really boring.
Wish: I want a best friend...
(back to the top.)
Yesterday was really fun! "Hotel for Dogs" was a really nice show....Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin. Really cool! After the show, Prisca and I went to look around. We were searching for bubble tea so we went to look at the directory on the first floor. Then we went down to the basement because I thought that that was the first floor...made a mistake though. Eventually, we found the store and I bought passionfruit ice blended...mmm...tasty...
We looked around and around, went into Popular. Saw Taylor Swift's Fearless! I want that CD! My dad kinda owes me a new CD because he accidentally threw away my Avril Lavigne one. Sigh...
I really want to watch these movies when they come out:
They are all going to be SO COOL. I want to watch!!
Okay...got to go to my mom's workplace to borrow more movies to watch..TTFN...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hurray! Now I have more movies to watch! Managed to find "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants", "Eragon", and "Material Girls". Movie marathon tonight!!:):)
Can you actually believe I drank bubble tea AGAIN today??!! I can seriously feel a spike in my blood sugar and the fats piling up. Arrghh...I'm such a pig...
Have nothing to post about today...
(back to the top.)
Finally, after a long week of waiting, I get to go out with Prisca later on today! We're going to Jurong Point to watch "Hotel for Dogs"! Can't wait. The show's at 2.45pm so will meet Prisca at 2.00. Can't wait! I hate bring stuck at home all the time with no one to talk to other than my family members. Sometimes, I seriously wish I had a big sister or a family member who is a FEMALE and MY AGE. That would be fun.
Watched "YOURS, MINE&OURS" yesterday night. Really funny but super nice:) Loved the show:)
My parents are coming back later to bring me to lunch, before dropping me off at JP. :):):)
Got to go...
(back to the top.)
Woke up at 8+ this morning. Really tired...Had breakfast, bread and peanut butter..mmmm...then my mum went to work and I gave my brother some work to do, before going to shower. Trying to change my blogskin now. My brother is throwing a tantrum over his work so I shan't bother about him.
Couldn't make it to the 6R class gathering yesterday:( So sad. I haven't seen them for a long time and I'm seriously missing them...so sad...
One last thing: Life sucks...
(back to the top.)
Went to Velocity with my mum this morning, along with my little brother. There wasn't much to look at. Just browsed around and went to MPH where my brother bought a book. After that, we went to have lunch at this small eatery specializing in chicken rice. And the meal was simply scrumptious! The rice was super tasty and it cost $6.90. It was satisfying...Then, my brother wanted to take the train down to Joo Koon, so reluctantly, we went. It was rather boring, nothing much to look at. We went home after that. Met Szujin at the bus-stop, also waiting for the condominium shuttle bus I'm taking. Finally, the bus came and we boarded it. Reached home and my brother watched "Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa". I printed out my 私函 and that was the end of it. I'm currently writing my report for geography. But I'm having a mental block now so I'm not writing the report fluently enough. Arrghh...
Got to go...

This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my lifeAt last, the March holidays are here! But, unfortunately, I am currently experiencing problems with my iPod. Why does it have to be so TROUBLESOME? I'm so frustrated.
Yesterday was a really long day. And one piece of news to share with all of you,
I'M BEING STALKED IN CHURCH! Of all the places on earth, I had to be stalked in church! I'm in the YF, and I haven't been attending the service on Saturdays for a few weeks because the messages were going to be BORING. So Chi Sin keeps looking for me every Sunday to pass me stuff and tell me to come to YF, come to YF. Its just plain
FREAKY. Almost like being stalked. When I walked into the sanctuary yesterday morning, Deacon Kenny's wife who's in charge of YF asked me why I haven't been showing up. And she even talked to my father about it. Its crazy. Its not that I hate YF, I just don't go when I have a gut feeling the message isn't going to be interesting. Besides, people there find me weird and don't bother to talk to me. So, what's even the point? Anyway, I'm going next week, to pacify them. The message should be good, as it is on "Spiritual Gems from Proverbs-Part I". Might as well go and learn a few good things.
Went to the Science Center after church. There was a paper aeroplane show my brothers wanted to see so I was reluctantly dragged to the Maxwell Auditorium. But to my surprise, the show was really good! The guy was showing the audience his paper aeroplanes and wow, they were
AMAZING! There was an aeroplane that could flap its "wings", exactly like a bat. Thus, it was called "Bat Plane". There were so many others that I just can't recall their names now but overall, the show was great! When the show was over, my family and I went walking around the place, looking at all the exhibitions. Then, it started to rain very heavily. The roof was leaking so badly that people couldn't enter certain exhibitions. I was annoyed because I wanted to see the iSpace exhibition but because the place was flooded, we weren't allowed to step in. Reluctantly, we left. My parents wanted to buy a birthday present for my youngest brother from the Curiosity Shop in Science Center, so we looked around. Eventually, I bought a book on Outer Space for my brother and my mum bought him a board game on geography. Very educational indeed. I spent $6.90 on the book. Then, we had to leave quickly to pick up my brother's birthday cake from the Ritz Carlton Hotel. Wow! I have never gotten a cake from fancy hotels before on my birthday. My brother is
so lucky. Unfortunately, on the way, there was a
MASSIVE traffic jam and we were caught in it for
one and a half hours. I was asleep most of the way, so it wasn't so bad. When I woke up, we were nearing Suntec and well as most of you know, the IT show was on. Thus, there was a huge jam there and I took out my iPod and listened to music. At last, we were free and we rushed to the Ritz Carlton. My mum and I ran in to collect the cake. Its a mango cake, and its most appetizing. The staff member handed us the cake and we paid $66 for it. Very, very expensive. But it takes a long time to make it. We drove home after that. I showered and had laksa for dinner. Mmmm...
At night, we celebrated my brother's birthday. And my word, was the cake delicious:) Mango sponge, mango slices, mango jelly...yummy:)
I watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Slumdog Millionaire" last night. "Slumdog Millionaire" rocked but "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was rather boring and slow. I would encourage everyone to watch "Slumdog Millionaire" because its an awesome movie. As for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", other than the fact that Brad Pitt is really handsome, nothing else was good about the show. But the ending was quite nice. Everyone acted well but the story itself is slow-moving and that really spoiled the show. But you can watch it if you want.
Okay, at last my iPod is fine. All the songs are safely stored inside, all 126 of them.
I just found Jermine's blog. It really seems like ages ago when I was in Primary 5 at Rulang Primary and I used to always check her bag for "forbidden" stuff like handphones, MP3s, all those kind of things. And she has gotten
prettier since I last saw her. She's really pretty and if you don't mind me saying this,
gorgeous. Some of you might not agree with me on this point so just go and visit her blog:
http://j-ermineng.blogspot.com/. You will believe me then. I wonder if she still remembers me, but I doubt she does. I was just a small, insignificant idiot when I was at that age. Now, I'm just as insignificant as ever. Always giving off shy, quiet, vibes. I still recall when I was asked to bring Jermine to tuck in her shirt in the toilet by Mr Tan, and I just let her go. Besides, her shirt won't be tucked in the next day anyway, so I might as well let it be.
Should I change my blogskin? If you think I should, any suggestions? I think the text is rather hard to read, that's why I want to change it. But I want to change it to a black skin. Its not that I'm emo or anything, but I just like the look of black blogskins. Well, will keep hunting for an appropriate blogskin.
Okay, now I shall go on to talk about my holiday plans. I plan to catch up on my studies and master algebra, and a few components of science. Read more classics and chinese books. I must memorise all there is to know for Secondary One Geography and move on to read through Secondary Two Geography. I can't wait for History to start in the second half of the year. It should be more fun than geography which I seriously can't stand sometimes. Its just so boring. I don't particularly hate the subject but all that measuring using ruler and string, all the countries, the layers if the tropical forest...ZZZZ...
Will stop here...
(back to the top.)
I thought I'd lost you when you ran away to try to find me,
I thought I'd never see your sweet face again,
I turned around and you were gone and on and on the days went
But I kept the moment that we were in,
And I knew in my heart that you'd come back to me my friendI'm almost finished with my E-learning now. I just have to complete my si han and I'm
free.
I just finished lunch-grilled fish and mashed potatoes. It was rather nice. My mum borrowed a DVD called "Shredderman Rules". Its a Nickelodeon show, so I think it'll be nice. Unfortunately, I'm only allowed to watch it tonight.
I must go out with my friends sometimes soon, before I die of sheer boredom at home. I want to go to Marina or Jurong Point, maybe even a place as far as VivoCity. Anywhere but home...
(back to the top.)
Today is a rather quiet and uneventful day, due to the fact that I am alone at home right now, drowning myself in high doses of Miley Cyrus's music and typing out my proposal.
I can't believe I like Miley Cyrus. I used to like once upon a time, but liking her NOW? Its rather surprising to me actually since there was actually one point in time when I hated her. But after hearing "The Climb", I guess I just liked her all over again. Now, my favourite is "I thought I lost you" from the Disney movie "Bolt".
Prisca and I have made a pact to go and watch "Hannah Montana: The Movie" when it is shown in cinemas.
I CAN'T WAIT!I just finished my proposal. I hope its alright. Now, I will be moving on to the last Geography assignment and then, I'm free:)
Alright, I won't be FREE but at least its a burden off my load. I'm still trying to decide which river I should write my newspaper article on...Yangtze river? Mississippi River? Pasig River? Chao Phraya? Rhone river?
Its so confusing...I think I'll just pick the most polluted which is...I don't know:(
I'll blog later...
(back to the top.)
I OFFICIALLY HATE E-LEARNING! So many freaky things just had to happen today, especially when all our e-learning is
GRADED!! I accidentally submitted my chinese test when I haven't done a single question!!! I was trying to solve the problem of typing my answers in chinese characters and got so mad that I clicked "enter" too many times and my test got submitted! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! I e-mailed Zeng Lao Shi but I don't think she's going to check her e-mail every few minutes so I might have to wait!! I refuse to touch the e-learning chinese assignments until I calm down fully!
Prisca is currently at my house, freaking out with me. It is so annoying! I'd rather go to school today than stay at home doing stupid, idiotic assignments on e-learning! Couldn't they just have given us proper pen-and-paper assignments to do? Wouldn't that be so much easier?
Sometimes, life can be so unfair. Maybe I should have gone to some other school....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prisca and I are having lunch now. Or rather, PRISCA is having lunch now. I had to cook instant noodles for her to eat with leftovers from yesterday's dinner and I'm cooking my own meal now. Can you actually believe that Prisca hasn't tasted instant noodles before? Amazing, isn't it? Well, she's Prisca after all. I'm super bored and stressed out. E-learning is so BORING! I want to go to school. I want to go to Raffles Girls. I want to get out of Fairfield. I WANT MY 5R 07' and 6A 08' FRIENDS!! I miss Rulang and Fairfield Primary. Those were the best years of my life, now cruelly replaced by the vicious secondary life where almost all assignments are graded and projects are many. I don't want to grow up...:(
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am so obsessed with Miley Cyrus's songs right now. I've never particularly liked her, but after watching the movie trailer for "Hannah Montana-The Movie", I began listening to the movie soundtrack and I just got addicted like that! I want to go watch the movie when it comes out! Its going to be so awesome! I can't wait! And her songs are so beautiful.
(back to the top.)
Hurray! Finally e-learning week is here and next week is the March Holidays!! For the rest of this week, I needn't go to school because I'll be at home doing my e-learning and what's more, Prisca will be coming over to my house tomorrow to do our work together! Aren't you jealous? Haha...that was stupid...
I just came home. So tired out...before assembly this morning, the vice-principal was scolding this Sec 4 guy who had apparently come late and wanted to go into the hall but unfortunately was detained by the vice-principal. And he put up a fight and tried to force his way up but to no avail. Then I think the vice-principal had an issue with his attire and then he started shouting at the vice-principal and was like, turning round and round, showing him his tucked in uniform and was like saying," See? Tuck in already!" And he was acting all defiant and stuff. But I have absolutely no interest in talking about other people's affairs so I shan't elaborate on.
Today, we had to do a survey by MOE about our math lessons. There were so many questions and it was very confusing so I just randomly answered them all. It wasn't too difficult to answer anway.
Now, I have come to realise how much I dislike secondary school life because of the type of holiday homework we have:
EnglishEnglish isn't too much of a problem. We just have to file in all our worksheets.
MathMath is just torturous. We have to:
1. Visit the website
http://www.dengue.gov.sg/2. Based on the graphs and tables as well as information you read up on Dengue from the website, write a 200-word newspaper report to advise Singaporeans on the danger of dengue.
I hate this. We also have to do Ace-Learning which is the e-learning portal for math.
ChineseI can barely even find the words to describe our Chinese assignments. We have to write a jounal entry, do a booklet on a
character of our choice and write about their background, history, appearance, character and our thoughts and feelings. Plus, we have a chinese composition to write of no less than 350 words
GRRRR...
and the e-learning is even worse! We have to do a si han online and watch some video and then, complete tests on the portal, and do a whole lot of other things.
Science
Science is at least still manageable. We were given a set of worksheet to do and e-learning as well, which is just a few tests. And we still have our DNA model to construct but since I have already done and compiled all the research, I doubt I'll have to turn up for the meeting during the March Holidays.
Geography
Geography is just horrible! Since I'm working with Rachel for the project, I have to write a 2-page report on why we should conserve the Amazon Rainforest. For E-learning, we have to read powerpoint slides and watch a video before attempting a crossword puzzle and a quiz. Then for Day 2, we have to read more powerpoint slides and watch another video and then, write a 120-150 word proposal to the "government" to propose measures to reduce pollution of the Ganges River. And then later upload it onto Lead.com
For Day3, we have to read a word document and research on the state of pollution for one of the rivers(Yangtze, Mississippi, Pasig, Chao Phraya and Rhone) and compile my findings into a newspaper article using the template given and again, upload it.
Geography is seriously becoming a major headache...
Okay, I know I've bored you with naming you all the homework I have been given. I know it isn't a lot but its tiring and stressful having to stare at the computer all day, uploading things, reading information, its just horrible.
At least, I managed to drink my last bubble tea for the week today before I came home. I went to CityVibe's SweetTalk and bought a passionfruit ice blended. It was delicious, especially since we had intensive PE training today and I didn't drink ANY water after that for the entire day.
Got to go..
(back to the top.)
Okay...today was another boring day at tuition. You would be bored to tears if I were to tell you what happened so I won't.
Its currently raining, so the air smells nicer than usual and I'm bored...bored...bored...
Here's the picture of my iPod that I promised:
Nice isn't it?
Haha...I suppose you envy me now. Too bad for you. Just joking..I'm must be so bored that I'm acutally taunting people for not having an iPod. Anyway, its just a music device so it doesn't have that much significance in people's lives.
I watched "27 Dresses" yesterday night and it wasn't as bad as I thought it to be. Its NC16 and I thought there would probably be sex scenes and vulgar language but there wasn't. Well, technically there was but only for one scene. Then...nothing. Katherine Heigl just shouted "Motherf***" for that particular scene and that was the end of it so, yeah. I still prefer "The Devil Wears Prada" though. That was more entertaining.
Okay, I am bored so here are some more random pictures so I don't kill you while you read this blog:
This is my current MSN picture if you would even bother to know.
This used to be my MSN picture...
And this is Prisca's MSN picture...
Arrrrghhh...why am I being so random? I'm beginning to lose my mind as I grow older. And I must have exhausted all my ideas on what to blog about yesterday. And I'm currently reading the magazine "Scientific American Mind". Its boring to you people but its actually very nice to read. Tells you a lot of things about life and how to boost brain power...that sort of thing.I know I'm losing my mind, you don't have to tell me...
Okay, now I shall present to you from the "Scientific American Mind",
6 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR BRAINPOWER:
1. EXERCISE
-Improves sleep quality
-Must be done with music to be effective(good excuse to get an iPod)
-Improve the brain's executive functions: planning, organizing, multitasking and more.
-Improves the deliverance of oxygen and nutrients to brain cells
2. DIET
-Eat brain foods such as: walnuts, blueberries, spinach
-Eat a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids that tend to have lower rates of disorders of the central nervous system
3. STIMULANTS
-A bit of caffeine now and then increases alertness and energy and boost mental functioning.
-Boosts short-term memory and reaction time
4. VIDEO GAMES
-Improves mental dexterity, hand-eye coordination, depth perception and pattern recognition
-Improves multitasking skills

Heys...in school now. Trying to speed up the process of charging my laptop by using it, so that's why I'm blogging. Charging my laptop takes a SUPER long time...I can DIE just waiting for it to finish. Anyway, school was okay today. Zeng lao shi assigned us our lead.com homework...arrrrgghhh..I just realised how much I really HATE chinese. We have to do si han and all those stupid things online...its just so boring...
Today, Verine and I were watching "How to be a gangster" on youtube and we came up with the brilliant idea of being gangsters ourselves!! YAY!!! So, now, I am oficially...

A GANGSTER!!
Haha...I know that was random...but still, the thought of me, a gangster? It sounds ridiculous, considering that I don't walk with the nonchalent swagger that all gangsters seem to have. I was vulgar, once upon a time, and I'm a guai kia. I don't disobey the school rules, I am not defiant to the teachers or anyone with authority over me, I do my homework and submit it on time!! Plus, I'm not loud enough. But Verine and I invented some kind of secret hand thingy..we're still working on perfecting it. By the way, Verine is part of the FAMILY now!! Rachel is our mum, I am the da jie, Verine is the er jie, Prisca is the mei mei, Luisa is the ah ma, and Grace is the aunt. I know all this sounds super lame but its actually fun when you get into it. Still looking for more people to add to the family:)
Choir ended a while ago. Choir is a bit boring because all we do is voice training on Mondays and on Fridays (today), we merely joined the main choir for warm-ups...that's all..before we were allowed to go home. I wish we could learn songs and sing with the main choir. Sometimes, I really regret not joining netball...but at least, choir gets to go to EUROPE next year. I can't wait!!! Imagine, me, in a foreign country, enjoying the picturesque scenery and breathing in fresh cool air instead of the dusty Singapore air...and the shopping and pictures I am going to take...I CAN'T WAIT!!
This morning, Rachel and I were discussing about the smell of the air at different times of the day. We both feel that the afternoon air makes us feel sleepy and exhausted...its so annoying. We are supposed to be studying in the afternoon and we feel sleepy...it just doesn't make sense. I wish the air always smells like the air in the early morning. The early morning air is just so crisp and fresh...such a nice smell. The night air as well.
Yesterday night, I watched "The Devil Wears Prada". It is so nice! Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are such good actresses. And the storyline was great! I would recommend everyone to watch this movie...I promise you wouldn't be disappointed:)
Today, I'm going to watch "27 Dresses". Its NC16 but my parents are cool about that. They let me watch all kinds of movies because I'm mature. I'm 13 for goodness sake!

*sigh*. Sometimes, its really hard to post about something everyday because nothing exciting ever happens. I know I bore my readers a lot with random postings about my mundane life. My English isn't that good either. I wasn't bestowed with the gift of expression.
I really must go out to a shopping mall with my friends one of these days. But nobody seems to be able to go out with me...*sob*
Staying at home all the time is super boring and stressful. Having to do assessment books and boring research and homework is really tiring. I'm sleeping at 11pm almost all the time! Arrrggghhh!!!
Okay..it has occurred to me that I always post about myself but never about my class. Okay, I shall talk about that now.
1E is like, super super hyper and enthusiastic. Especially Claire, Ethel, Camille, Anais, etc. And Feng An is like, popular among the girls. He's my rival in love anyway. He doesn't know that though. In case you're wondering, he is STRAIGHT and not gay. So you should know what I mean. I'm not a lesbian but I like that girl in a family kind of way. Those of you who are smart should know who I'm talking about from the description of my "family" above. Which brings me to my next point...during assembly this morning, Feng An went up to collect his volleyball medal and Prisca was like, "Feng An from 1E" and then the teacher announced "Feng An from 1E" and Prisca was exclaiming at Verine "Ahha! Ahha! Ahha!". They were laughing like crazy and Verine seemed kind of embarassed about the whole thing:). But unfortunately for them, there was silence so a lot of people heard them...Hahax...Okay...moving on...Everytime its free period, the whole class will be using their laptops except me, so guai right? Hahax...
Okay, I can't post anymore. I'm tired and frustrated at my laptop, its still taking super long to charge. And I need to go home soon. I hate bringing my laptop home because:
1. My mum will scold
2. Its really heavy and makes me suffer for a long time
Got to go...
*I LOVE MY iPOD*

Sorry for not posting for so long, but I have had to stay back in school for the past few days to finish up the English and Home Econs projects.
Today was the cooking practical. Camille and I used SO MUCH plates, bowls, cups, etc. Then, I forgot to bring the strawberries for the desert and Camille forgot rice! So we begged for some from the canteen...actually, we bought them legally. After assembly, we went straight to the kitchen and prepared the things we needed as written on the time plan. Soon enough, we had to begin cooking our dish. I started off rinsing the utensils and Camille took out the ingredients. At one point in time, Camille set me the task of peeling the skin of the water chestnuts. I almost sliced my hand!!! I was peeling and then, I held up a water chestnut but then suddenly realised that there was nothing in my hand and I was about the slice my hand off instead!!! So freaky!! That's what you get for sleeping at 11pm the night before...Anyway, we presented the dish to Miss Rajwin and well, she didn't say much...just gave us the thumbs-up. Then...the task of washing up. There was just so much to wash I can barely describe it. The sink was clogged up with water chestnut skin...heaven knows where they came from...and I had to pick them up. Disgusting...but required. Because we are graded on hygiene and cleanliness. Miss Rajwin was rushing us because the whole class was so slow in cleaning up that it was eating into chinese period. Missed part of HCL class...heehee...
For Lifeskills today, Miss Cai was like, talking about masturbation and everyone was disturbing Jacob because he made that one unwise decision to open his mouth during the lesson to comment, so everyone was saying that he had experience...
I can't wait for the March Holidays...a well-deserved break from hectic school life. Oh yeah, I got my iPod!!! Its green!! I took a picture to upload here but I just can't find my connector!!!! I promise I'll upload it as soon as I can:)
By the way, I went to Prisca's house yesterday to film the last scene of the english project video. Her house is super small...no offence. When we finished, Camille needed to go back to FMS(P) to ask Mr Elfian to teach her how to edit the video and I had to tag along as well to record my voice for the narration. I'm the narrator and camera-person if you would like to know...Prisca and I wanted to buy bubble tea but Prisca insisted she change out of her "angel" outfit first. So Camille and I waited impatiently at the lift lobby for her to finish. Then, she came out wearing super short shorts!! Almost as short as Yijie's!! We ran out and walked to FMS(P). Along the way, Prisca was complaining about her shorts and that she just grabbed the first thing she could find. Couldn't she have worn her FMS(S) shorts?? Weird...But at least we got our bubble tea.
Today's presentation was rather okay, except that Camille was worrying about our storyline because after seeing all the other groups presenting(we were one of the last), we kind of got "demoralized" about our storyline, because we thought it wasn't fantasy enough. Anyway, Miss Sheena didn't comment, so it should be alright...
Got to go now. I promise to upload the pictures...:)

OMG!! When I came in to school this morning, I found a large plastic bag beneath my desk. Then Jessica came along and told me it was a present from VERINE!! OMG!! It was a toy dog!! Thanks so much Verine! The dog is so cute!!
Currently in class, doing nothing. Too lazy to do the work Mr Lee assigned...so boring...
Will blog later if I can...
Okay, Camille just left my house. We were practicing for our Design project practical. Went quite well. Except for the fact that I fell down and quite a few disasters occured...
The class went to Sungei Buloh yesterday! It was actually quite small...not at all like how I imagined it to be...but quite nice all the same.
I can't upload the pictures I took...*sob*
Okay, I have to get off the computer now to wash up the dishes. I'm getting my iPod Nano today! CAN'T WAIT!!

N.E.W. author workshop
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Yesterday was really fun! "Hotel for Dogs" was a really nice show....Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin. Really cool! After the show, Prisca and I went to look around. We were searching for bubble tea so we went to look at the directory on the first floor. Then we went down to the basement because I thought that that was the first floor...made a mistake though. Eventually, we found the store and I bought passionfruit ice blended...mmm...tasty...
