I could go back to every laugh, But I don't wanna go there anymore, And I know all the steps up to your door, But I don't wanna go there anymore.
I’ll leave my window open, Cause I’m too tired at night to call your name. Just know I’m right here hoping, That you’ll come in with the rain.

choir performance
Friday, July 31, 2009

Performed for the Thanksgiving service just now. It was quite okay. But my feet were super painful because my shoes were rather tight at the toes. By the way, before warm-ups, I realised that I had forgotten to post my dad's letters, so I gave Mr Ho the excuse that I was going to the toilet and ran out and across the road and back in 3 minutes! Can you believe it? I'm usually super slow at running and I have absolutely no stamina at all. Prisca went with me. It was fun! Running that fast gives you quite a thrill.

My dad picked me up from school. He brought me to McCafe and I bought my double chocolate frappe from there! Yum! There were oreo cookie bits in it. But I still prefer Starbucks.

Had a art test today. I didn't study so I screwed it up as usual. I wrote some shit on the different art periods and definitions. Anyway, who cares?

Got to go study for tomorrow's chinese tuition test now. And complete my homework. And all the assessments and papers that I have assigned myself to do.

Thursday, July 30, 2009

My mum bought me a new Nike bag yesterday. Its khaki-coloured with orange stripes on the zippers. I must admit, when I first saw it, I didn't really like the colours. But I don't mind so much now. But it looks like feng an's bag. Anyway, who cares. I'll switch back to my old bag soon. I love my old bag because its more unique. And it wasn't bought in Singapore, making it more exclusive.

Mr Firhad's giving us free time now so that is why I'm blogging. Learnt about osmosis and diffusion today. Quite dry, but at least I can understand it. Hand aches from frantically writing down notes. I'll have to go home and read up more in my science guidebook and complete the chapter on it in my assessment book. Sigh...such are the times.

Screwed my si han test today. I wrote so much crap about H1N1 that I'll get zero for it. I've screwed up all my tests this term. Better not screw up my exams. Otherwise, I'll kill myself. Because its 55% and not just 15% anymore. Its really important.

Can't wait to get back my tests, even though I know my scores will be really low. But at least I'll know what to expect.

The choir performance is tomorrow. I might probably go home first, then go to Prisca's house to laze around before returning to school. Have to wear my silver shoes and dress. Argh!

Ms Ng finally treated us to ice-cream today! It wasn't really ice-cream but it was Paddle Pop Hip-Hop Jelly. Super delicious! Feng An was being funny with his ice-cream, making it all floppy and stuff. Laughed really hard. I think Ms Cai was kind of mad. But nevermind.
My silver flats from Cotton On.

Here are my bags. Argh. Can't decide which one is nicer.

Choir
Wednesday, July 29, 2009

Had choir practice yesterday. It was quite freaky because Ms Cai was there in the hall. But we only practiced three times before they allowed us to slack all the way until 4.45. Got disturbed by Lorraine, Katelyn and Prisca. They were pulling out people's shoelaces and stuff like that. And we were playing scissors-paper-stone and slapping the loser's hand. My hand was slapped super hard by Lorraine! Super red after that.

My parents managed to buy me my silver flats from Cotton On. I hate flats. I prefer heels. But the shoes from Cotton On won't last very long because its like cardboard, so I will buy a nice pair of heels after the performance.

I'm in art class now. I'm sick of shading and drawing so decided to sneak a post. The boys are playing Wolfteam so why can't I blog, right?
I've resorted to blogging in school nowadays thanks to the fact that I have absolutely no time at all at home. Been studying really hard these few days. Doing loads of assessments and test papers. On top of homework and my house chores. But I did manage to check my Facebook account yesterday because my mum said that I should take a break. But after that, it goes right back to studying. Sigh...

I can't wait for EOYs to be over. I wish it were over. But there's still one and a half months to go. And after exams, there will be loads of choir practices. So life's going to be hectic. But I did promise myself I could watch as much drama serials online as I want. So that will be cool. And I hope I do well. So that I can go on a major shopping spree with Prisca and my dad will get me my iPhone!

Better go now.

screwed week
Monday, July 27, 2009

Okay, updates on the past week.

Screwed every single test last week, especially science, zuo wen and history. I didn't remember to write 0 CE for the timeline and science was tough. I barely studied for zuo wen and I'm pretty sure I wrote tons of crap. Whatever came to my mind, I just put down on the paper. My results are going to be so bad. But its over, there's no point moaning over it. Also, I blame Mr Chan for my dazed-ness.

Went to JP with Prisca yesterday to buy choir shoes. Unfortunately, didn't manage to buy any. Because none of the shoe shops had my size! How frustrating. When we were going to Starbucks, we passed by this shop called Gripz. And I spotted a really nice pair of silver heels inside that fitted the requirements perfectly. So we waited for more than 10 minutes for the store to open but in the end, Prisca bought the shoes because it was the only pair left. Argh! Mr Ho is so going to kill me when they do an attire check. But I don't care anymore. I have better things to worry about. At least I managed to drink my chocolate chip frappe yesterday. But couldn't watch Harry Potter with Rachel, Claudia, Jessica and Teresa on Saturday. Super suckish. I have been waiting for that movie outing for so long and then suddenly, my mum says I can't go. Shan't elaborate.

Haven't finished my history homework yet. Because I left my workbook in school. Have to chiong today. And I was too lazy to finish my art. So I have to do it today. I'm becoming such a procrastinator. My dad bought me a large stack of SA2 test papers. Planned out my schedule in my trusty planner yesterday. Won't be able to go online very often these days because of the amount of work that I have to catch up with. I want to complete my assessment books and test papers by the end of August. Then, before EOYs in September, I'll do intensive revision.

Also, if I do well for EOYs, my dad promised to buy me an iPhone. Then I promised myself, I would buy my FBTs and Daughtry's new CD!! Daughtry's new CD rocks! EVERY single song is just plain AWESOME! Did I mention that Demi Lovato's Here We Go Again is out as well? And Jordin Spark's Battlefield as well? So cool! Okay, I'm rambling on and on about music. But seriously, Daughtry's album is just amazing.

On Saturday, I went for YF. Didn't manage to escape this time. But the speaker, Jack Sin, was super good. Easy message on charismatism. Feel that I understand more now. So I guess it did do me some good after all. But I'm not going back anymore. Its way too awkward.

Changed my blogskin. Got to go now.

screwed math test
Tuesday, July 21, 2009

The only purpose of life is to seriously piss me off. I totally screwed the math test today. I already have 3 marks gone! How stupid can I be? School nowadays really piss me off. I hate going to school. I hate my seating position. I hate EVERYTHING!

The only good thing that happened today was that I got 46/50 for my yu wen ce yan. So I guess I didn't screw that test up afterall. But what is that compared to my math test?

Really angry right now. First was my screwed-up math test, then my laptop lagged. How much does life want to make me angry? Apparently, a lot.

Choir yesterday was boring. Sectionals as usual, sucked. Learnt some new song for Founder's Day (4 August). Was slacking during sectionals. Sat on the table and stuff like that. I hate choir. I should have joined netball when I got the chance. Or maybe squash, but I didn't go for the second trial thanks to choir trials >.<

I WANT TO GO SHOPPING! By the way, Harry Potter movie outing has been postponed to Saturday. I want to buy FBTs. And I also need to buy my silver heels for choir performance. I'm thinking of calling in sick that day, but of course, after I collect my $20 book voucher from the primary school xD

intensive revision
Sunday, July 19, 2009

For the past few days, its been rather intensive. Revising all the subjects, learning spelling, etc., etc. Especially math. Been doing lots of math papers. But its quite annoying when the answer key's answer is different from the paper itself because apparently, they printed wrong numbers in the questions, thus causing me to not be able to solve it and getting the question wrong. Managed to file all my math worksheets. Planning to revise that tonight. My science and chinese revision has been rather light so I need to do the heavy stuff another time. So I can't watch Harry Potter tonight. But this coming Tuesday is Movie Day! Going to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! Can't wait! But tomorrow, CCA starts again. Sigh. Sectionals suck.

I managed to find a website which I'll bet Ms Yeow got her art worksheet from. She actually gave us this really annoying art history worksheet to complete but guess what? I found all the answers online because she took the worksheet from the internet! Muahaha.

Really want to go shopping soon. I haven't gone for ages. And its the sale period, albeit quite late already. But I still want to go. My mum went for the entire day yesterday. And I had to stay at home studying, and go to chinese tuition. >.<

Got to go study now.

emo friday
Friday, July 17, 2009

Today pretty much sucked because I was emo-ing and had absolutely no idea why.
I was late for school this morning. Super pissed about it because it wasn't my bloody fault. Anyway, don't want to talk about it. I got booked of course :( Hope they'll renew my record next year like they did my CMF booking for having long nails in semester 1.
Feng An was disturbing me today. Really wish he'll just get H1N1 and stay home. Ignored him anyway :)

On a cheerier note, going to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince next tuesday. But I have to go for YF and chinese tuition tomorrow >.< I hate YF. Its not that the youths in church have a problem or anything, I guess its just me that feels super duper awkward whenever I have to participate in anything related to church and them. However, my mum said that the speaker for tomorrow's message is really good so I guess I'll go. But I'll be hating it all the way. Chinese tuition is boring. Especially when you're sitting at the back. Really wish to change seats with Feng An in class. Sitting at the back sucks. I prefer the front. Might consider talking to Ms Cai about it.

These days, I've been spending my time studying in the afternoon, going online to check my facebook and email in the evening, studying some more at night, then sleeping really late. Its tiring. I keep having a feeling that I'm not studying effectively enough. And that I've been spending way too much time on the internet. Another note to my exhausted brain: I need to stock up on pens and correction tape refills. By the way, Katy Perry's on the cover of the July issue of Seventeen! Gonna buy after school today. I like turning the shiny pages of magazines and looking at the bright pictures. Haha.

Currently in art class, trying my best to find out more about Simone Martini's Madonna and Child painting. How boring can class get? I like the practical sessions but doing research is just damn frustrating. Can't find the stylistic characteristics for the painting.

Youtube-ing more and more these days. Its nice to listen to songs. Facebook is beginning to get boring, especially when I'm not allowed to play the games. But I managed to play Biotronic, Pixel Ranger and Typing Maniac yesterday. But of course, I got scolded.

Had the yu wen ce yan yesterday and I officially screwed it up big-time. I already have one mark gone! Argh! And that is the section that I shouldn't ever ever lose marks for. Oh yeah, cheer up about the test Prisca! I'm sure you did just fine! Let's all screw this test up together!

Got to get back to my research now.

updates
Thursday, July 16, 2009

More updates in point form, because I'm much too lazy to post properly:

1) Feng An and Alan were being super annoying today. Hate them.
2) Lessons were...the usual
3) Seriously need to stock up on pens and correction tape refills
4) Can finally return "Max" to Anais tomorrow

updates
Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Updates: (I'm too busy and lazy to go into details)

1) No mass run today! But there were gay exercises >.<
2) ORCA period is useless. They should abolish it and convert it into a free period.
3) Staying back tomorrow to finish up the CCITP Dreamweaver assignment.
4) Next tuesday, a date with Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince after school!
5) Loads of chinese revision to do today. Major test tomorrow. Currently just taking a break from studying. Been memorising loads of chinese idioms and proverbs and phrases. Looked through my chinese file and notebook. And my textbook. Perpetually stressed.
6) Found a new way to travel! Take bus 74 and go to Dover MRT. Then, hop on the train and go to Clementi. Smart, easy and less time-consuming :)
7) I don't want CCA to start again next week :(
8) I feel...I MUST WORK HARDER!!
9) I feel...I MUST REFER TO MY PLANNER MORE OFTEN, INSTEAD OF MY SCHOOL DIARY.

That's all xD

hilarious fun in HCL
Tuesday, July 14, 2009

HCL class today was super damn funny, thanks to Prisca's "fei fei fei" talk and just about everyone's crap. Chinese spelling was damn hilarious because everyone was like, copying from my book and Prisca copied wrongly. Then, naturally, Luisa and Julian would be wrong as well. So too bad. Haha. Don't mind me, I'm a total sadist. When Jeelian's book was showed on the screen, it was so funny that the entire class laughed like crazy people. Because apparently, Jeelian wrote so many words wrongly that it made her sentences look weird. In the end, I got two words wrong, Julian failed (I think) and Luisa and Prisca got some stuff wrong as well. I think zeng lao shi knew that the entire table was cheating because she mentioned something about zuo bi and she looked at our table. So quite obviously, she knew but just didn't want to say anything.

PE was torture because we played mini tennis which was sickening. I couldn't hit the damn ball. And whenever it was my turn to serve, I kept hitting Alan. But anyway, who cares? Also, stupid Feng An was disturbing me again today. Why doesn't he just get H1N1 and stay home? He's so annoying.

History was boring. Mr Loke gave us worksheets to do and just about everyone was dozing off. Really boring. But after everything, he showed us a couple of youtube videos on Michael Jackson, since he's dead and considered history.

And speaking of youtube, I've been facebooking less nowadays and youtube-ing more. Here's a couple of videos:



This one's Demi Lovato's Here We Go Again. Super addictive and nice. But Demi looks kinda weird in the video, don't you think?



Rascal Flatt's Here Comes Goodbye. Really love the piano part. Its so nice! Must learn how to play that one day...

maximum ride
Monday, July 13, 2009

Argh! I'm in such a foul mood currently, thanks to the fact that there's NOTHING AT ALL to eat at home. And I didn't even eat a single thing in school. All I had was a bowl of cereal in the morning. That's all. And since I made the stupid decision of not eating in school today, I'm now suffering the consequences of going hungry. Just finished eating 1 peanut butter sandwich. Its the only thing available, unless you'd rather eat disgusting fried fish. I could cook if I wanted to but its just so troublesome and there would be loads of things to wash up afterwards. Extremely time-consuming. And I have loads of work scheduled to complete today. Sigh...

School was boring as usual. Was dozing off during science class but Mr Chan woke me up by calling on me. Thank goodness I had the right answer. And in chinese class, Prisca was being crazy again. Grinning and showing off her bubblegum braces. Laughed a lot. And the xi you ji test came back today. Got full marks! I thought I had gotten a couple of questions wrong. Thank goodness it turned out correct. Because I only read three-quarters of the book the night before and slept super late. Oh, and Anais lent me Max today! Thanks so much Anais! As usual, you're the best! Seriously, I owe Anais way too much. Wish there was someway I could repay her. Also, going to watch Harry Potter next week! Can't wait! The movie's awesome! I'll never forgive myself if I don't watch it!

More good news: Science test and math test has been postponed AGAIN! YESH!! Possibly history test too! And Laura, Se Kwon and Claire had a fever during the second temperature-taking so they went home. Hope we get LOA.

Oh, before I forget, Prisca Ang owes me one week's worth of FREE BUBBLE TEA! Haha. I betted with her and too bad, she lost. Muahahahahaha. Thanks a lot Prisca!

Got to go study now. I'm beginning to realise that's always how I end of my posts. Hmm...

85th post
Sunday, July 12, 2009

There are only 2 words that come to my mind whenever I think of church: TORTUROUS and GOOFY. They are doing some kind of exhibition crap that I think is just insane. Really hate it there.

Went to JP with my mum today. Super boring though. She was shopping and I was like, her baggage handler or something. Was on my feet most of the time. Tiring. Managed to convince her to let me go to Popular. Saw so many CDs there on sale! Wanted to buy LVATT but my mum as usual, said no. Also, I saw Stephenie Meyer's The Host and Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Showed them to my mum, but then again, the answer was: NO. By the way, the seventh book of Harry Potter was just $10! The pricing is such a far cry from what it used to be. $10! Can you imagine it? So after 3 hours of walking around aimlessly, trailing behind my mum, we went home.

I haven't done my art homework yet. I just can't decide what to draw. I have loads of ideas but I can't make up my mind which one to choose. And its due on Tuesday. Argh! Bloody art. Why is it even a subject? I'd rather take geography or something like that. If design was out of my life, I'd definitely take geography. But its good to be an all-rounder I guess.

School starts again tomorrow. Hope there's no CCA ^^

transformers 2: revenge of the fallen
Friday, July 10, 2009

So happy! I managed to find the movie Transformers 2 on the Internet last night and I promised myself I could watch it today! Can't wait for tonight! Heard its awesome! So excited!

Today is Friday and, I guess Fridays aren't so unpredictable anymore. Life has been mundane this week and tests have been postponed thanks to 1A and 1B. But next week is going to be hectic because there are quite a number of tests. There's math, history, science and chinese. Argh! Going to study really hard this weekend. Must do well in my tests to pull up my grades.

Went home with Rachel and Margaret today. I took the MRT with them because being the person I am, I hate going home alone. Its nice to have someone to crap with. And thanks Rachel for helping me with the CCITP assignment today! Because I was fretting over the CCITP Dreamweaver assignment since I didn't have a clue as to what topic to do the webpage on, Rachel came up with the brilliant idea of doing sports! And its super easy because all you have to do is copy and paste! Isn't Rachel amazing? Haha. She sure is!

While I was waiting for my shuttle bus to come, I saw Claire, Anais and Camille going to CityVibe for lunch. Kinda regret not joining them because right now, I'm starving because there's nothing to eat and I'm lazy to cook something. So I'll just have to go hungry then. Oh well. Blame it on my own laziness. But cooking is too troublesome. There would be so many things to wash up after everything's done. And that's super annoying. Nevermind.

Can't wait to watch Transformers 2 tonight! And hopefully, there's no choir next week because if there is, Mondays and Fridays are going to become super unpredictable again.

P.S. I'm craving Starbucks! Chocolate chip frappe!!

dental appointment
Thursday, July 9, 2009

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Currently in the primary school, blogging and using the Internet at the basketball court! Couldn't connect in the primary school canteen so went to the basketball court which was the nearest to the secondary school! So fun! We're actually not supposed to go anywhere else in the school other than the canteen, but who cares? Claudia didn't even have a dental appointment and she managed to get in. Just goes to show how lenient the security guards are! Had lunch here. Not that bad. Only cost $1. Cheaper than the secondary school. Waiting for Rachel to finish with her check-up.

School was boring again. During english, Miss Sheena made us do 1 worksheet for 3 periods. I finished early, so dozed off in the heat of the morning. The sound of Brandon arguing with Alan and Max woke me up though. Probably only slept for like, 5 minutes. Science was kinda dry because Mr Firhad was going on and on about photosyntesis. Feng An kept disturbing me today. So damn annoying. Then in HCL, Julian switched places with Feng An so now, Julian is sitting at our (Prisca, Luisa and Me) table. Argh. Its not that Julian is annoying or anything. He's too quiet. Well, probably only to us though. Nevermind...

Got to go buy bubble tea and meet Rachel now.

I'm back! Dental appointment was okay. Finished in like, 5 minutes. The dentist just scraped my teeth and then let me rinse my mouth. There was blood and I was like, O.O. Went back to FMSS to get my book then waited for Camille in the dental clinic. Camille, Anais and I caught 14 to go home. Camille needed to top up her card so I went along with her to the MRT, to pei her. Then she followed me to CityVibe to buy bubble tea!! Its been 1 month since I last drank it. It was super refreshing though not very well blended. Oh well, its better than nothing.

Had the chinese test today. It was quite tough I have to admit. Way tougher than the usual standard. They came up with stupid questions that I've never seen before in a comprehension test. And one question was 10 marks, because the test total was 20 marks. Argh! I think I'm gonna fail for sure.

Anyway, on a cheerier note: TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!

close down the school!
Wednesday, July 8, 2009

School was darn boring again today. Mass Run sucked. Sweated so much I felt extremely disgusted with myself. I didn't even bother to change into my uniform. Anyway, the PE attire came in useful because Piao Lin, Grace, Prisca and I sneaked downstairs to the canteen to eat. Ms Cai actually came along just as we were leaving, but thank goodness she didn't say anything. Because since three people in our level got H1N1, all the sec ones have been quarantined in class with packaged food brought up to us during recess. And the food really stinks. So I refused to eat any. We're actually not supposed to go down to "mix" with other levels but seriously, what's the difference? Its not as if 1A and 1B have people with H1n1 and we will have it too right? As if the upper sec doesn't go out to crowded places right? I really envy 1A and 1B. They get to be home quarantined for a week! And we are still stuck in school! How unfair. They should have closed down the school already but fact is, its still wide open.

More good news: Math test and History test have been postponed to next week, thanks to 1A and 1B! Yes! And zeng lao shi couldn't come today because she had to attend some O-Level briefing. So we just crapped and did work in the HCL room for the last 2 periods. Super fun! And the whole table was laughing like crazy. Thanks to Prisca and her nonsense. Jodi too!

Verine was crying again in school today. Shan't reveal the reason why, because its a personal matter. But hope she's alright.

By the way, we're currently playing mini tennis in PE. Its super stupid. The drills are annoying and frustrating. The (soft) tennis ball refused to stay on the (small) racket. Argh! Also, I received a letter in the mail, inviting me back to FMPS for the Founder's Day Service. Supposed to go there because I'm one of the top five pupils there who chose to go to FMSS. They'll give me a $20 book voucher when I'm back there on the 4th of August. My parents said they can't go so I'll be going alone! Yay!

Got to go study now. As usual. I have nothing better to do than study. :(

weekend
Monday, July 6, 2009

Here's an account of how I spent my weekend (since there's nothing else to talk about)

Saturday
Went back to school to retrieve my math books. Forgot to bring them back last friday. After that, went for chinese tuition. Had this trainee teacher sitting next to me throughout the lesson. Had to be on my best behaviour. After tuition, went to the Jurong East library and IMM with my mum. Borrowed a couple of books and bought my acrylic paints and drawing pencils from Popular. Also, bought a really nice white cardigan from Dano.

Sunday
Went out to Orchard with my mum. Its been ages since I last went to Orchard. Saw ION Orchard up close. Really nice building. Will visit it when it opens. My mum wanted to buy stuff so I went to Borders alone. Loads of really nice books and CDs but the prices are so ridiculously high! I spotted FOB's Folie a Deux and they sold it for like, $24.95! So damn expensive. I practically bought it for $7.90! In the end, I just grabbed "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton and settled down in one of the black armchairs near the CD section to read. And that book is amazing! One of the best books I've ever read! No wonder it won a prize. It was written really really really well. And trust me when I say a book is good. It was fantastic! I'd recommend everyone to read it. But unfortunately, my mum called me at about 4.30 and said we had to go home. Super reluctant to leave. I was already halfway through the book. If I had a choice, I would gladly spend all day in Borders, reading the books there. The atmosphere is so nice and that armchair was really comfy. But, I should know better than to lust after books in Borders. "The Outsiders" was such a thin book (about 200 pages) and it cost $18.95! Wanted to buy the book but my mum said no, and that I could borrow it from the library. I suppose that's a better alternative since books from the library is free. But having a nice new book is better, because the books at the library are so old and tattered. That's why Borders is my ideal "library" since all the books are brand-new. Sigh.
Hopefully we can go to Borders again next week. But with EOYs in two months' time and homework piling up, I don't think I'll be able to go out very often anymore. Can't wait for EOYs to be over, since I promised myself I could re-watch BOF and probably get started on Shugo Chara or Goong or some other series like that. Also, I would be able to watch Knowing and 17 Again, Hannah Montana and all the other movies that I have been longing to watch, online, after exams. Can't wait! But its a two-month long wait. Hope I'll survive till then. Otherwise, it's study, study, study.

Currently just taking a break from doing my intensive math revision for tomorrow's math test. Blogging is a really good way to relax yourself. But now, I have to go back to studying for the rest of the day. Got loads to revise. And there's chinese spelling tomorrow.

80th post
Saturday, July 4, 2009

In case you'd like to know, this is my 80th post ever since I first started blogging.

Finished watching the entire series of BOF last night. I swear, that show is AMAZING. I can't stop thinking about it, I can't stop loving it. Jun Pyo is so damn hot. Ji Hoo too. And the ending was so wonderful when Jun Pyo came back to marry Jan Di. I cried a few times yesterday when Jun Pyo lost his memory and couldn't remember Jan Di. But in the end, he still remembered her and he left for the US for 4 years, before returning to marry her. Honestly, what hurts the most right now is knowing that I won't be watching the show for at least a few months because watching it all over again now would be too boring T_T. I seriously love that show. Can anybody buy me the DVD? Haha.

I also completed watching Princess Protection Program last night after BOF. It was quite alright but a little dumb because the plot wasn't that good. But still, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were great in the show xD

Right now, I have to concentrate on my studies after finishing BOF. Don't want to, but its a must. Otherwise, I'll fall behind the rest of the class and there are so many tests next week. There's a math test on Tuesday, chinese test on thursday and history test on friday. The math test is a revision test or something like that so I really have to study this weekend. Besides, Monday is Youth Day. So I have loads of time to prepare well for the test. But I can't deny that I do have the jitters right now. Hope it won't be too difficult.

long day
Thursday, July 2, 2009

The new timetable really sucks on thursdays. There's 5 periods of science, double math, triple chinese, triple english and double life skills. I don't mind life skills but there's just too much core subjects today. Super stressful. And there's only one free period.

Had the xi you ji test today. It was quite alright, perhaps easy. Just happy that I managed to finish the paper in time.

Tonight, I'm going to finish episode 22 of BOF and get started on the art powerpoint presentation which needs to be handed up tomorrow. And speaking of art, I haven't bought my drawing pencils yet! Nevermind, I'll hunt around the house for a 2B pencil. I'm sure I have one somewhere. But I don't have 4B and 6B. Don't know what's the big deal with such thick pencils and art.

Looking forward to BOF tonight and anticipating tomorrow (not). At least its Friday which means the end of a hellish week.

By the way, my dad said he'll buy me JB's Lines, Vines and Trying Times! Can't wait!

P.S. I really must make some time to go to the library soon. I really really want to read "Identical" by Ellen Hopkins. I read the reviews and even though the content sounds disturbing (rape, drugs, etc.), I still want to read it because underlying all the sick stuff, I think the book should be really nice.

Here's the New Moon official trailer. I'm not really crazy about Twilight anymore but I'm gonna watch this movie. Or rather, buy the DVD, like I always do.

semester 2
Wednesday, July 1, 2009

Third day of Semester 2 and it sucks. The timetable is horrible because they cut down on so much of our free periods and they are replaced with loads of math and design(art). And Miss Cai changed our seating arrangement and I ended up at the back! Nearest the window facing ACJC. Sitting there has more disadvantages than advantages so I hate my seat. Then, when we were supposed to lucky-draw my partner, I got Brandon! Of all people I just had to get Brandon. And a note to Prisca: It's NOT fate! Anyway, sitting there causes you to feel sleepy most of the time and you can't really concentrate as properly as when you sit in the middle front row. But I'll make up for it by studying really hard at home. Why am I so unlucky? I have no idea. I blame Alan for picking my number anyway.

Super addicted to BOF. And I'm super in love with Jun Pyo! I stopped at episode 19 6-7 last night so today, I'm going to finish episde 19 and go on to episode 20. But of course, I'll finish my studying first, since there's a chinese open book test tomorrow.

Got an English project today on newspaper tabloids, something like that. Paired up with Rachel, Prisca and Jodi! Rachel chionged for us being the only all-girl group in the class! Thanks Rachel! So quick-witted! Thank goodness we don't have to group into the mandatory 2 girls-2 boys group Miss Sheena set. Haha.

Currently in art class. So boring. Art history is definitely the most boring subject you could possibly learn. Can't wait for the practical sessions in art. Staring at powerpoint slides and typing notes on Microsoft Word is not exactly the best way to spend 4 periods.

Had a surprise math and chinese test today. The math test was easy, very straightforward, but the chinese test left me feeling dazed. I was rushing towards the end so I'll probably end up with a zero for it. Practically wrote so much crap.

The only good thing about today was that there was no mass run due to the gloomy weather. Thank goodness for that! But the PE department came up with some bullshit competition between classes. Don't want to go into details.

Got to go study now.
