Hi all!~ Let's just say the news I heard yesterday made me break down again. *sigh* I hate all this crying. But that's life. Yesterday when I was in the hospital, I saw a family whose father was given that night and this day to live only. Their family was grief-stricken. My heart went out to them and I felt so so sad as well. What a horrible feeling, knowing the family member you love so much lying on the bed, going to leave you any minute. We can never take the ones we love for granted. That made me think of the mysteries of the world. What happens after death, what happens in the Bermuda Triangle, what's in the Black Hole and etc. So many people have different theories about what happens after death. Christians believe that they go back to live with God, Buddhists believe in reincarnation, other religions believe in other things. Who knows in the Bermuda Triangle, people living there are in pure bliss, rid of all heartaches and troubles, but yet again, it could be a land of slavery and a place where sufferings never end. I am so curiuos about those things. I sometimes just sit and wonder about these things, especially about the great big Universe. That's why I'm so interested in joining TJC's astronomy club, I want to learn more about the Universe. Oh yeah, I bought a webcam and mike!!! Whoopee!!! ^^ I also created a xanga site, but the content is going to be the same as this blog. Click Here. Today I had TJC orientation camp. Well, all the Temasekians are in the same class, along with some from TKGS and VS. Hm... There's only 23 people in the class, 15 girls and 8 guys -.- Now girls are overpowering instead of guys. Haha. I made some new friends, Sophia, Dimira, Teresa, Grace... They were all friendly. There were a group of girls who are very outgoing. Not the type I'll mix with I can fortell. Thank God Prerna is in the same class as me. Phew. The most enjoyable part of camp was when we played in the rain! It was awesome. By 7pm, I kept yawning and yawning in the lecture theatre. By the time I came home, it was 8.30pm. TJC wants us to get a laptop, preferably a tablet, so my mum is going to get my one, most of my friends are getting theirs as well. I don't think I have much else to say for now, so... Goodnight!!!~

`+._ BaCk HoMe!! _.+`



Hi! I'm back home in Singapore now. First part of this entry shall be on what I did, second part will be more on feelings.

Well, let me recall... I seriously can't remember what we did on Wednesday, oh no, my memory's going.. I think we went shopping... Oh yeah, now I remember.. We went to the factory outlets! Hehes.. I bought two awesome jackets, 2 exercise tops, a nice floral 3/4 sleeve t-shirt and a white skirt. All originals, but cheaper! ^^ Haha, then we went back for dinner I think. On Thursday, I followed Louiseanne to go for study session on Maths, ha, rekindled the stimultaneous equations thingy *grimace*. On Friday, we went out with her friends, Natalie, Grace, Jeremy, Max and Eugene. They were all really nice ^^. We watched Kung Fu Hustle. God that movie is gory. I covered my eyes most of the time anyways. But it was overall quite funny in the end, but I couldn't stand the fighting and the blood *shudders* We took neoprints and then we had to leave for... Christmas eve dinner at Louiseanne's home. I didn't really know many people there and for some reason at the beginning of the party, I kind of felt weird. Real weird. Not in the festive mood at all. Feeling sad about something I couldn't place my finer on. Funnily, Louiseanne felt the same way, I felt better after awhile though. When the clock striked midnight, not many people from Singapore were online so not many people to wish *sigh* It was kind of boring, and Louiseanne helped me set up a Xanga site. I still don't know how to use it, so I shall continue using blogger till I've grasp the concept of Xanga =P On Christmas Day, Lu*(short for Louiseanne) had community service =(, so we had lunch without her. Lunch was with old family friends whom I haven't seen in 9 years. Their children, Daphne and Kai are so grown up now, well I guess so are we. My dad said Kai and I used to fight alot when we stayed with them for holiday, but I seriously can't remember. Christmas night, it was PARTY! for Lu* and I. We went to a street where there were pubs, discos, bars etc. My dad brought us. We dressed up all in black (except overcoat and shoes) and in our best since it was my last night there. I wore her high heels and my feet were killing me. Seriously. We had some alcohol, 4.7% bottle. I only drank half though, Lu* drank all and wanted more =P

That about sums up what we did when I was in Hong Kong, but that doesn't say a single thing about how I was feeling ya?

Well, I'll let you in on some feelings then, some people say my blog is like a content of what I did, so I'll add more thoughts. You can say that the reason I went to Hong Kong was to see Louiseanne this trip. It felt so good to get along so well with her once again, but sadly, it wasn't the same with Jonathan, like I mentioned in the previous entry, he seems kind of distant. Oh well... We used to play together, all 3 of us. Those were the days. In a way, I envy Louiseanne, she has a few close guy friends whom she can count on whom are so nice and caring at the same time. Don't get me wrong, my gal friends etc Maxine, Prerna, Zhuyin, Aud, Lijun, Lin, Mar, Zoe, Cad, Yuan, kirbs, lumps, Via, Jo and Abby are awesome, but sometimes, it isn't the same as having a guy friend you know. I've always wanted a close guy friend who would care for me like a older brother would and give me advice sometimes. I envy the friendship Lu* has. Oh well, I am in a way satisfied with what I have now, my friends all rock! Bah, this is sad, I shouldn't be feeling this way. Hm, this bonding time I've had with Lu* made me realise that what's important in a friendship is honesty and sincerity. Being fake has completely no use in a friendship, you will be exposed of true colours sooner of later. Well, all in all, I must say this trip was worth it. I made some really nice new friends, had some fun in the cold weather, went shopping, and most importantly, strengthened my friendship with Lu*!!! Love ya and miss ya Lu*. I'll post some pictures from the trip when I have time. That's all for now, and that's quite alot! Goodnight!~ Good morning more like it =P

Hi everyone!!! First things first, HAPPY BIRTHDAY EN !!! ^^ I'm in Hong Kong now! Yesterday I travelled here by myself. My mum was supposed to come too, but end up she didn't, for a reason I'd rather not disclose. Anyway, I was rather upset about not spending christmas with her, but my dad was going to Hong Kong too, just that he was going to meet me there. Let's say that I've been crying more than I ever had this month. About something yet again, I'd rather not disclose. *sigh* Well, travelling by myself was a new adventure and experience for me, kinda got the feeling of excitement and apprehension. It was alright anyway. My dad picked me up from the airport then it was off to shopping with my friend Louiseanne and her friends! It was kinda fun, but tiring. Shopping is tiring anyway. =P Bought loads of Christmas presents and make up. (I'm broke now =X) Got to get more money from my dad. ^^ I've been getting this accent since I've come here, under Louiseanne's influence =P HAha.. The kind of international school accent. It's kinda cool! Haha, naturally comes. Hopefully it doesn't stick when I go back to Singapore! Or I will sound kind of weird to you guys in Singapore =P Today we went to watch After the Sunset. In Singapore I bet it's NC-16, but there aren't any ratings here apparently. Well, it was fun!!! I'm so glad that Louiseanne and I can get along like before, the years didn't seem to have happened in a way, seems like I've been talking to her everyday. It's great. But Jonathan(her brother) seems a little more distant. Oh how I remember the times we had when we were young!!! It was hilarious!!! Anyway, I want to watch Tarzan now, so.... GoOdNiGhT!!!~

Hi everyone! Well.. On Sunday, I went for my grand aunty's birthday lunch, followed by slacking and shopping at Parkway. I bought my Harry Potter Original dvds!!! =D I bought The Polar Express Soundtrack as well and Bing Crosby's White Christmas songs. I love Christmas carols! The minute I came back, I glued myself infront of the television screen and watched all the special features on the extra disc ^^ All 3 of them!! Hmph, but they made the things I want to see so difficult to find! I was getting a little frustrated, especially about the 1st movie's extra features. Eventually I found it though. It was worth it ^^ Definately great! On Monday... I woke up late and packed my room. (It was in a HUGE mess. Trust me, I didn't touch and care about the cleanliness of my room from after school let out, all my things were all over the place.) I packed till about 4 before I had to set out for Anchorpoint by Taxi for the Hip Hop recital rehearseal. My teacher had come down with the chicken pox last minute unfortunately. So another teacher who has no idea at all what our steps are took over. Well, let's just say yesterday and today's practice had been kind of a draag. I guess it's also because of the company. I'm the only Chinese there who goes to a local school. The others are all from international school. Can't really clique I guess. But 2 of them were really friendly. Savana and Carissa. They are way more outgoing compared to us. Outgoing in different sense compared to the Singaporean way of outgoing. But all in all, I still love the practices. The distance is the only problem. I continued packing my room again this morning. Almost done. After practice, my mum and I went to Parkway to continue out shopping. Since we are going to Hong Kong (I can't wait!!!) soon, I needed some winter clothing. Tomorrow Max is coming over for awhile and she's also going to support my dance performance. Thanks Max ^^ Means alot to me =D Oh yeah, I added more Harry Potter pictures on my HArry Potter Blog. Please go visit my fanfictions blog too! Don't abandon that. So far only Rehana has visited it =( Just click on the link on this blog and you'll be there~ Leave a tag too if you visit please ^^ Well... Nothing more to say... Ciaos!~

Hi all!~ Today was my mother's childcare's annual concert. It was great! But very tiring. One of the N1s, Nigel, was so cute on stage! We were so worried that he might cry, but he stole the performance! He even tried to do a 'handstand'. So cute.. The whole performance was great... I was so tired when I came back but aftr a bath, I was refreshed, so I continued with my setting up of the Harry Potter Fanfictions webpage. It's quite nice to me, I'm satified with it. But all comments are welcomed, I placed a tag-board there, so feel free to voice your opinion. Cheerios for now!~

`+._ HiHiHi _.+`



Hi guys, sorry, couldn't think of a suitable title for this entry.. Well, what can I say.. Hm.. I seriously can't remember what I did on the 3rd and 4th, but I remembered that I had my Hip Hop photo shoot on the 5th as well going for my father's mother's birthday dinner. Then on the 6th... Hip Hop practice for the recital, it was cool. Tuesday... My mother had her childcare concert rehersal at Tampines East CC. John went along too ^^. Too bad he can't go for the actual day, the children and teachers were a kind of disappointed, especially the one who calls him handsome boy =P. Haha~ I stayed around at the childcare till about 2.45pm till my mother had time to go home, I was so tired, and was so glad to be able to go home. Then on wednesday, I went to the hospital to visit, then to hiphop, followed by rushing to The band performance, they were great! The last hiphop practice caused me loads of bruises. *sighs* But, it's all worth it to me. Yesterday in the evening, I went to John's church at Boon Lay. Far, but not too bad.. It was quite fun~ Then John came back to my house and used the computer while watching polar express on dvd.. These few days, I've been so frustrated with maple story, it keeps hanging at the login page! Then I have to re-start everything. Argh, so irritating. The best thing, I had time so I went surfing the net for HArry Potter stuff, and I found loads!!! And I also got Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson's fanmail address. I'm going to write! =P Everytime I watch the video interview by either of the 3 of them, Daniel, Emma and Rupert, I suddenly feel very happy. I found out that the HArry Potter DVD has never seen before footage on the original dvd, so I'm going to buy it, no one's stopping me!! ^^ I envy the three of them for getting the chance to act in such a brilliant movie, the experience they gain is absolutely priceless! And another thing I envy them for is the friendship bond they created through these years. Unbelievable! It is exactly like Hogwarts, they have known each other and grown so close since the age of 10! What I would give for a friendship that the trio shares. I also found out that you can win a trip to the set of Harry Potter and win a chance to have a chat with the stars as well. I was so excited, but, sadly, it was a competition only for UK residents. Hmph. Oh well... Now I wish more than ever that I live in London. HArry Potter ROCKS!~ I don't care what others say =P Christmas is coming soon, I can't wait. Christmas gives me a feeling of warmth, togetherness and happiness like no other occasion gives me. I love singing the Christmas carols, especially with my friends and family. I think I shall work on my Harry Potter 'Website' now, cheerios!~

`+._ a MoNtH hAs PaSsEd _.+`



Hi guys!!! I'm so sorry for not updating for the pass month, have been kinda lazy to. The pass month i can't really remember what has happened on a specific dat, so pardon me ^^. Well, the beginning of November was spent in choir practices and preparing for Bizworld on the 9th. We won third!!! Won a trip to bintan =D The Temasekians did Temasek proud. We clinched 3 prizes out of 10. 1st, 3rd and 4th! How great is that? We all erupted into the Temasek cheer when it was announced. Oh yeah, there was also our class chalet. That one was kinda boring though, i slept through the night though being woken up countless of times... The next day was better though, the others, Maxine, Zhuyin and Lijun came over and we played stress for awhile before Max and I headed over to Wild Wild Wet. We spent our time in the wave pool and lazy river. It was a lazy day =P Then on the 7th, I had a farewell party, at Eastern Lagoon 2. It was loads of fun, I didn't expect so many people to swim, but I was very glad almost everyone did =D Then we had a barbeque dinner followed by playing games. Truth or Dare, Murderer, and a few more. Those were not that much fun till we played husband and wife. That one caused us to laugh so hard and so much. It was a memorable night for me. The next event was on the 13th and 14th. The Tampines Mall Fair Event. Our group spent the week preparing and the night before, we worked till way pass midnight at my house. At the event, there was also performances, therefore I performed in choir and TAG as well. It was the last time I would perform with the choir and TAG. *sobs* Well, the hard work paid off for us and we each earned about $38.50, not too bad if you ask me. Note to: Zoe, Yuan Li, Cadence, En Chou, Kang Yu, Lee Wei John and Jun Ji, GREAT JOB DONE EVERYONE!!! The last night of the event, we sat around talking till quite late before my dad sent John and I home. Oh yes, THANKS ALOT to Yu Xiang too for helping out =P The next day, everyone came over to my house to chill and collect their 'salary'. We watched movies and chit chatted. After that day, I spent the rest of the week being a pig. All I did was wake, play maple story, sleep.If it wasn't playing maple story, then it was reading Harry Potter fanfictions. It was a great week for me =P Just lazing around. I haven't been able to do that for the year. Oh yeah, on maple story, I had chatted about things with Nelson. That was great for me, haven't talked to him in a long time, nice to talk again. Haha, he hasn't changed abit. (that's not bad) Then the next week, we(Zoe, Yuan, Cad, JJ, LW plus me) went to Plaza Sing to watch Taxi. It was hilariously funny to me. It was all in the fun of it. Though I didn't really understand the car mechanics part, I found it very entertaining. All in good fun!~ Those bad girls in the movie had really great bodies, I remember moaning about it in envy with the other gals *grins* The next thursday(was it next?? can't remember) John and I helped out at my mum's childcare, ooh the kids were soooooooooo cute!!! Especially the N1s. A certain adorable kid called Nigel took liking to John, it was so sweet! The next time we were there, Nigel kept asking where is kor kor. I found it so sweet... There was another boy called Vernon. HE IS SO CUTE! I've seen him since last year and he is still so cute! Actually, thinking about it, it has been so long since we last went there. Yet I can remember it just like yesterday. A year ago, time flies... Yesterday, Zhuyin, Lijun, Max and I went to watch The Incredibles, it was great, all about family. Makes us appreciate that we have a family. Every family has it's bad points and good points. We just have to look on the brighter side. We normally tend to look at other families who SEEM better than ours, but you just don't know what's beneatht eh surface. Every family has it's own problems. Don't take yours for granted. Cherish what you have and make the best out of it. Don't wait till they are gone before you regret, that will be far too late. "Don't it always seem to go, that they don't know what they've got till it's gone." Quote from a song, "The Big Yellow Taxi". I watched The Polar Express with my father on Saturday night and that movie brought warmth to my heart. There is just something about Christmas and Spending it with your family that brings warmth to you. However, I don't seem to feel that warmth in Singapore very often. There is no 'qi fen' here. I hope that there will be more in Hong Kong ^^ Can't wait to go there. Oh yes, also I have a hiphop performances coming up that is causing me countless of bruises. Ugh, my poor knees. But I love hiphop really, eagerly await it every week. I've stopped piano till next year to get a breather, I like piano loads, but sometimes, pratising gets on my nerves. Well, I think I about covered up last month, and I will just have to wait and see what comes next, for now, CHERRIOS!! ^^ I love the Holidays!

Hi!! Haha, today was a day of 'stress', played with my Harry Potter UNO cards =D It was loads of fun!!! I love that game. Then we had entre meeting.. And I had another great time at hiphop. Went to 'steam' my hair and have a trim, and now, I'm home... Well, there seriously isn't much going on right now.. I don't know what to say.. Some things are too personal to say on a public blog.. So I only blog daily events.. Occasionally I will discuss my feelings about a topic, but not too often, I don't know what topic to discuss.. If anyone have a suggestion, then by all means, I won't mind 'discussing' it. Example, relationships, BGR, love, etc... Anyway, I'm going to be very busy for the next 2 weeks.. For now, addios!

Hi.. Well, today was not too bad, all I did in school was to read my storybook, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I didn't really want to play cards, so I absorbed myself in the book. When it was time for Chinese, I actually wanted to play hang-man with Maxine but we both agreed that hang-man was no fun with just 2 people playing it.. So.. I continued with my book. By then, I left about 200-300 pages, I was hoping I could finish it by the end of school. I read into English period, very absorbed into the book, then I suddenly saw someone walk pass my desk, and someone saying something about me being absorbed in the Harry Potter book for the whole day, it was John I think. I looked up and saw that Jun Ji and Eliya were in our class, I didn't see them walk in. They were looking at me reading, standing around my table, I was kind of taken by surprise to see them back in school. Anyway, we exchanged a few words and I went over to the other girls, haha, had a short exchange of girl's talk =P Not saying what here. Not very very much but just a few words. Then.. I went back to my book, I managed to finish it by 1.40pm, *grins* I was so near tears by the end of the book, Sirius died! Poor Harry.. Life is so unfair to him!!! Mrs Loke was giving, John, Jun Ji and Yu Xiang a 'talk' about um.. part Christianity and part something else topic. I joined in listening after I finished my book. Oh yeah, there's going to be a Maths trail tomorrow, my group members are LiJun, Yuan Li, Jun Ji and Chung Son. We were sorted by register number. Some israeli students will be joining us =) I'm not sure whether Jun Ji will be joining our class though~ Anyway... Had choir... Quite fun.. The songs weren't too bad, we worked on Abba songs and 'Why do fools fall in love'. We will be performing on the 13th and 14th of November at the Enterprise Fair at Tampines Mall. Well, the first 2 weeks of the holidays are full for me, no time to rest... Suddenly right now I feel like going out every day, I feel so bored at home alone at night... I'm usually a 'good' girl and don't go out much, but I just feel like it recently, though I've been out so much, just feel like going out and enjoy myself with my friends... Argh, I'm rather bored now... I'll update if there's anything exciting tonight, I doubt there will be though.. bye!~

Hi! Well, today was a rather tiring day. Maxine came to my house in the morning around 10am and we got ready to go out to Bugis. She brought her hair 'iron' thing, and I spent about half an hour straightening my hair. Then we headed to bugis and met up with Marissa, Linda, Li Jun and Zhuyin. Initially, we wanted to watch a movie, but end up, there were only three movies showing, one M18 and the other two were The Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Grudge. Marissa watched the other two before and I already watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, so we went to take neoprints first. Haha, we took them 4 times! That was loads of fun!!! Then we went to MacDonalds for lunch. There, a worker from MacDonalds kind of bombarded us and asked us to join the membership. But my ezilink card was stolen.. So I couldn't apply for the card. After lunch, we didn't feel like watching a movie at Lido like we planned, so we walked around edge and started to get a little tired. I suggested finding somewhere to sit and talk, so we looked around and finally went to Swensens. So we chatted for about 45minutes. It was nearing 5.30pm, so Maxine and I left. I had to go home for dinner and for a little rest before going to meet the group of people I met yesterday at Tampines Mall for dinner. (Jun Ji, Eliya, Adriel, Eric, and I can't remember the others name, oh yes, including John.) Hmph, at first we were going to meet there at 9pm. So I went earlier and walked around with my grandparents. End up.. They were late, so my grandparents wiated with me till 9.30, then John came, then after awhile the otehrs came. *grumbles* just kidding, it was quite okay actually, haha.. I was waiting at the area which just opened, the bazar area. The area is really romantic and the atmosphere is great. I was just listening to my music. They ate at MacDonalds, but I didn't eat since I already had dinner. So I just watched them eat. Didn't eat the 25 cents ice-cream again =P My dad came to pick me up at about 11.. and now... I'm home... And.. I'm so so tired.. I'm going to bed soon... So GoOdNiGhT and GoOdByE!~

`+._ A pOeM _.+`



Hi everyone! Here's just a poem I came up with about friends, I don't know whether it's good, I'll just post it... Please comment on it if you have any opinions =)



*FrIeNdS~



Through thick and thin

Through rain or shine

Through hail and snow

They're there to be



In times of need

They'll be the one you seek

Your rock, your support

Your everything



Memories of laughter

Memories of joy

Will fill your mind

And comfort thy



A shoulder to cry on

A listening ear

A comforting hug

It just takes that much



It's when life seems impossible

That the golden light will shine

To brighten up your day

And pull you through life's way



To guide you on your journey

To happiness and joy

To strength and courage

To love and peace



That's what friends are for~

`+._ fUn DaY!~ _.+`



Hi! Today was rather fun. I woke and got ready to meet the others (Jun Ji, John, Lee Keat, Yu Xiang, Yuan and Eliya, the Israel exchange student.) We headed over to Pasir Ris Park along with John's other friends, I think they are from his church. We (Jun Ji, Eliya and I) stayed for about 45 minutes before joining the other Sec 3s at Wild Wild Wet. I was quite excited, since I've never been there. You can say that it was very fun, especially the lazy river and the wave pool. I didn't know the others so I just talked to Jun Ji and a little to Eliya. Let's just say the time at Wild Wild Wet was fun. I won't mind going back. Then we washed up and went to Tampines Mall for dinner. After dinner, we walked around and ate the 25 cents ice-cream from MacDonalds =P I was already so dead tired by then.. Gosh.. And I'm still going out tomorrow. Well, I guess I deserve a rest after studying, so I'll just go 'wild'. Wild meaning go out more.. Not exactly wild.. Heh.. Oh well, it is for someone like me who doesn't go out much during school days.. My parents picked me up at 8.30 and.. Here I am at home now =D Anyway, I don't have anything to say now, so... GoOdNiGhT!~

Hi everyone!~ Well, today I had choir practise from 9.30-12.30.. Although I sometimes complain about going for choir, I still love it alot and can't really bear to leave the CCA. Then I met up with the entrepreneurship group (unick) at the bus-stop before heading over to my house. On the way we stopped by 7eleven. Yuan Li bought something called 'Mochi'. It was so delicious! She let us try. Thanks Yuan for introducing that wonderful 'dessert'! =D. Then we had pizza for lunch and a little bit of maggie each.Discussion started after that up till about 3.10pm. We packed up and left for Orchard to do some market research at Heeren. No comment about that. At HMV, I finally found Jesse McCartney's album!!! =D But it cost me $31! Oh well.. That shows how much I want it then =) I met my parents at Centrepoint and we went for dinner at Sake Sushi at Wheelock Place. It was an extremely long queue, we waited for about half an hour. It was a yummy dinner, and I ate Mochi!!! Thanks again to Yuan for telling that sake sushi has it. The Mochi was really good, but... very tiny! Compared to the one from 7eleven! And it cost $1.90 for two tiny Mochies. That was expensive.. I went down to Borders after dinner and had a lovely time looking at the books. I bought another 3 Nicholas Sparks books, author of 'The Notebook' and 'A Walk to Remember' Those two books mentioned above are awesome and moving... They were made into movies, I haven't watched The Notebook, but A Walk to Remember was fantastic, acted by Many Moore and Shane West. The movie makes me cry every time! It was about 8 plus when we headed home. For some unfathomable reason, my head was throbbing like crazy and hurting so bad. I didn't do much but walk today. Maybe not enough sleep =P. Anyway, I'm doing some stuff right now, so.. I'll end here, cheerios! =D

Hi!! So sorry I haven't updated for so long.. I spent the whole afternoon today doing the new blogskins for my blogs, please leave a comment about it =D Well, we got back our results.. My results are as follows, the words in the brackets are what I think of my results:

English 68/100 (groan)

Chinese 59/100 (grimace)

Maths 71.5 (slaps myself)

Science 82/100 (ok I guess..)

Literature 71/100 (shakes head)

Geography 81/100 (not good enough)

D&T 78/100 (not asking for more)

Overall I guess I should be satisfied, but I'm not. Oh well.. However, I have no regrets, since I put in quite alot of effort. *sighs* Only left 4 days in Temasek Sec.. Prerna and I are counting the days... It's sad... TJC doesn't have the homely feeling that TMS has...I'm going to miss it so so so badly... Today.. I mostly read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I guess now that there's so much time on my hands I feel very lazy, but the fact that the entrepreneurship competition is nearing is making me feel uncomfortable, don't know why, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I feel kinda lazy to do things now.. It is so weird that during the exams, I felt like doing evrything, now that the exams are over, I don't know what I want to do.. I can't wait for every hiphop lesson though, it simply rocks! Flamenco is put on hold =( My dance school's annual performance is in December, on the 19th! I can't wait =D After that I will finally get to see my Hong Kong friends, Louiseanne and Jonathan. I really miss them, haven't seen them for about 3 years! Well.. I don't have alot alot more to say now.. I'll update again asap =D GoOdNiGhT!~

Hi!!! I'm so happy, the exams are finally over!! 2months of pure holiday bliss =D However, it is rather sad that I'm going to leave Temasek in less than 2 weeks.. I can't stand that thought =(.. Prerna and I both agreed that Temasek Sec has a very homely feeling to it, but TJC doesn't give us that feeling... I am going to mis TMS so so so much... But I can't keep thinking about that, I must look forward to a new year of making new freidns, meeting new people and studying in a different school... Well, I guess it's good experience, but like I said, I will miss TMS like crazy.. Yesterday, Aby, Jun Ji, John and I went to Bugis to watch a movie: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The show was quite nice.. There's no way I want to live in that sort of a world though.. *shivers* It's so sinister... Oh yeah, Jun Ji's car racing rocks! *thumbs up* We had dinner at Swensens, then Aby and I went to take an all girls neoprint before she had to leave for home because of piano lessons.. Met up with John and Jun Ji again and we just strolled around bugis (wandered aimlessly around) and somehow reached the MRT station. We sat at the staircase and just chatted, didn't feel like getting up until about 9.45pm.. Anyway, it was really fun yesterday.. The exams have been not too bad.. managable.. Anyway, off to play SIMS 2 now, so.. addios! =D

Hi everyone! So sorry for not updating... Well, I've been juggling studies and recreational time so as to not drive myself crazy studying. For some weird reason, everytime there's an exam nearing, I will have this urge to do something else, last year it was something else, this year, it's reading Harry Potter Fanfictions. Everytime I read one, I get glued to it, so I have to control and limit myself. I tend to scream at the authors inside on how come Lily and James were so stupid as to not let Professor Dumbledore be their secret keeper, that way Harry would still have parents, but then again, there wouldn't be a story, so.. oh well... I wish J.K Rowling didn't let Sirius die in the 5th book, now Harry has no one. But people say that the reason J.K Rowling wanted Sirius to die would be revealed in the 6th book. Hope it is. I really wish that Harry would emerge triumphant in the last book, and live through it. But who knows? Websites also said that after the 4th movie, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint will not be acting anymore. Then I wouldn't watch it. It just doesn't seem right. I'm sure those who are fans also agree with me.. =D Erm.. to those who don't know a single thing about Harry Potter, this entry might be a little mind boggling, apologies.. My dad has agreed to look for Harry Potter things for me, bless him! =D Since it is so difficult to find Harry Potter merchandises in Singapore, my dad has so generously agreed to look for them for me abroad! *so grateful* Well, I'm rather worried about the exams, after the first two exams, (Science and Chinese) is over, I'll let out a big sigh, but then there'll still be Maths, Geography and Literature, at least those I'm not as worried about. After next week, PHEW!! The following exams aren't as stressful... I attempted changing my blog's skin, but.. decided against it, not as nice, to me that is, I love this skin! =D Anyway, I'll be doing my homework now, sEe YoU aRoUnD!~

Hi everyone! The exmas are just round the corner, have to start working harder! Yesterday , Saturday I spent half the day reading A Walk to Remember, yesterday, I took the whole day to re-read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, for the forth time, and I'm still as much hooked on it as before, I could'nt put down the book! Then today I was absorbed by The Notebook. Oh my goodness, that book is so beautifully written, bursting with emotion and silent grief. It made my heart break to read it. The author, Nicholas Sparks is realy something. He wrote both A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. I take my hat off to him. I've finally changed my website's music! It's playing my favourite Harry Potter song , 'Double Trouble'. Since you can't hear the lyrics, i'll post them here:



Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Double, double, toil and trouble

Something wicked this way comes.

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg and howlet's wing.

Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Double, double, toil and trouble

Something wicked this way comes.

In the cauldron boil and bake,

Fillet of a fenny snake,

Scale of dragon, tooth of wolf,

Witches' mummy, maw and gulf.

Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Double, double, toil and trouble

Fire burn and cauldron bubble

Something wicked this way comes.



It's sung by a choir, really nice! It's so sad that there aren't many Harry Potter fans in Singapore I know of.. *sigh* Yesterday my cousin called, to look for my dad, but he isn't in town. That cousin of mine, had some kind of stroke when he was young, due to eating too much panadol so he could subdude his fever and go out and play. (He didn't tell his mother.) His blood vessel burst, and he was unconscience for 6 months! I don't think I was born yet at that time. His movement is now very slow and so is his speech, extremely slow. And he is blind in one eye. 4.5 degrees members, Jun Ji and John have seen him before, if you guys can remember, he was there to support me for the song competition last year. I wish he was well, he's really good in art, sadly, I don't know him very well. I realised one thing, I can't study in the afternoons, the daylight seems to distract me, I don't know why. I can only study at night, or else, I can't go out for the whole day so as to not let me get distraction. Weird, I know, but even I can't explain why. I've already worked out a study schedule, I hope I can stick to it. I'm scheduled for Geography tonight.. Hope I can complete all my studies on time. I suddenly have this thirst for reading books. That is really not good, especially with the forthcoming exams. I have to control. Did I mention how much I enjoy being in my own room instead of the study room now? It's so neat and Harry Potter dominates the bed wall, with the class photo at the side as well. =P I wish there was someone who shared interest as I have in Harry Potter, sadly, I don't think anyone I know like Harry Potter as much as I do. I just find the aspect of it so interesting. If only Hogwarts really existed. That would be wonderful! I think J.K Rowling is really awesome, when I read the Harry Potter books, I really feel as though I am experiencing what Harry is experienceing, as though I'm in their world. I especially love the third book. I can't explain why I like it so much, I just do. Anyway, got to go and take my bath... So, see you!~

Hi everyone! This morning I had to wake up at 7am for oral, and Maxine bugged me to reach earlier *grumbles at max* =P. Then met up at the foyer, and proceeded to the hall. The whole time, I was reading 'A Walk to Remember'. My friends thought I was crazy to read a book so absorbly when the oral is about 10 minutes away. Hey, I releases the nerves. When I stopped reading for awhile, I started to get really nervous, so I went back to reading again.. Well.. The oral wasn't too bad, wasn't exellent either though. My dad picked me up and we went to Tiong Baru Plaza, his office and Queensway shopping centre to do his last minute errands, I was just accompanying him. Oh yeah, we also went to my dad's mum's house for lunch. Then I came back and packed up my room. Too bad I didn't stick to my study schedule. *grimaces* Oh well, I decorated my bed wall with all Harry Potter news, pictures etc. I love it! Then packed my table. I love the way my room looks now, it's so neat =D. Around 5pm, Jun Ji came over and we started making the jellies. (His cooking isn't bad at all! =P) Then put up the lanterns properly, ate dinner and watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban while waiting for the others to arrive. (I made him watch it *grins*) It wasn't that bad... right? Hope it was at least okay, I love it!! Watched it 10 times at least. Around 7.10pm, Abygail and Jolene arrived, waited for elvia, and we had a nice 'supper' in the light of lanterns and candles. Mooncakes, tea, 'kui', jelly etc. The ambience surrounding was really nice.. Rather romantic I must say =P Then we went to my room and stared at each other before deciding that it would be better to go to the park and light candles around, something jo, aby, via and I have done for years. Now with the addition of Jun Ji, I'm so glad everyone got along well =D It was rather nice to see all the candles lit. After awhile aby, jj and I went to sit on the monkey bars, while jo and via played tic tac toe =P via's friend arrived, so we(jj, aby, jo and I) went to the swings. Haha, I started swinging and the next minute I heard them all saying 'how come so high?!?' Well, I guess I am just used to it =P So I 'taught' them how to swing and go higher, rather hilarious. I had to push them *pants* So tiring~ But it was so much fun, we laughed so much. Especially because of the handphones. Both jo and aby tried answering calls while swinging. jo flew forward and aby fell onto the ground, the swing hitting her head next, luckily they weren't hurt. But it was extremely hilarious, we were all laughing our heads off, I laughed so much I got a side-stitch. via was with her friend, it seemed to be so romantic.. *sighs* My hands were sore from griping the swings... We went back at around 10.30pm. Sadly, aby had to go home. After that the mood seemed to be a little dejected. We were all tired and good-byes were to be said. After all the girls left, my grandma sent jj to the bus-stop down the hill, then... I came back, had a shower and now I'm typing this.. I want to start reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban now, got this urge to do so... So now I'll leave it here, anything else, I'll add tomorrow, see you and GoOdNiGhT!~

Hi.. I just came back from spending the evening with my dad, a father-daughter night out since he is going abroad for 3 weeks. I bought my Harry Potter series of hardback books! I finally got them!!! I have saved money for them =D Also, using the borders card from TJC, I bought A Walk to Remember and The Notebook both by Nicholas Sparks. Needed for homework set by TJC when school reopens. On the journey back in the car, my father and I had a long talk about many things, mostly about life and all that kind of stuff. About the Chinese test thing, my grandparents and dad all made me feel better, but my mum gave it to me hard. I actually rather she scolded me, but her voice sounded disappointed, that made me feel real bad. I guess that was also necessary, she's right, but I don't know why, I still leaked a few tears when she was giving me that sermone. I kind of expected it. I know she did it becuase she's worried about me and loves me. Well, at least I was cheered up and knocked down by this test results. Opened up my eyes, I have to study harder. From the talk with my dad, I realised how much I'm loved by my family despite the countless scoldings and talks. He said that no matter what, they will always back me up and give me support, I was really touched by that. Although my family may seem perfect to some and some always say 'you so good...' etc etc etc, my family has problems too. You wouldn't understand unless you are in my position. I love my family very much, as alot of other people do, it's the same. Sometimes, being looked upon and 'wah, you so good' makes me feel like people take me for granted. Half of the time, i'm right. I really dislike the way some people classify my family. It isn't perfect. People only see the surface, not what's deep inside. Yes, I've got a loving and supportive family, and I thank all the Gods for that. Sometimes in a way, I think some of my friends don't realise how it makes me feel when they think that way. It is rather hurtful. I hope my friends won't keep thinking that way and read between the lines more. Well, today has been a rather emotionally draining day for me, and tomorrow's the Chinese oral. Goodluck Temasekians! I've got to go to bed now.. So.. Goodnight~

Hi... Remember I said that I never cried in school before and that I would break my record on the last day of school this year? Well forget about that, I broke the record today. I failed my Chinese. I can't believe it. I studied so so hard. It's the first time I failed any subject. I guess I took it really hard. Even though a lot of people failed as well, that does not give me an excuse. I only got 45.5/100. Also thanks to the storybook section, I got zero for that. I put all Bs. How dumb and idiotic can I get? Upon receiving the paper, I was filled with shock and disappointment. When I got back to my seat, my vision blurred and tears filled my eyes, consequently leaking out. I hope not too many people saw me crying. Thanks alot to Maxine who comforted me. =.) Made me feel a lot better. Thanks to Shawn too. The thing was that I was so upset to have let my grandmother down. My mother, father and grandfather as well. They all depend on me, I'm the only child. I study really hard for both myself and to make my family proud of me. When I don't get good marks, I feel as though I have let them down. Well, I guess one has to fail at least once in a lifetime, then the person won't be cocky, so Max said. Well, that made sense. When I told my grandparents the news, they didn't scold me, only comforted me and told me to work harder the next time, I was literally crying out loud then. After all the tears, I felt better and watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban again~ =P Half of it. Then did some maths tuition homework, but wasn't really in the mood. So.. after updating, I need to go and practice piano, I must work harder next time. Doubly hard! *sighs* I dread having to tell my mum and dad. Wonder what they will say.. The geography test today was not too bad, I knew most of the answers, but that's what's worrying me. I knew the answers. The last time I wasn't too sure of the anwers and I got good marks, now.. I hope it's not the opposite. I sure want to keep up those good marks. Anyway, off to practice piano now, sEe YoU!~

Hi... Using the school's computer now, during Com Ed. Well.. Was supposed to do and create a website, but didn't feel like it. So bored... Spent English drawing... Oh yes, we were reminded by Mrs Loke about the number of days left till exam, till after exam and till the holidays. I only have 36! days left in Temasek Secondary. I really can't believe it. I'm sure I will cry on the last day. (break my record for never having cried in schools, but that doesn't matter) I really can't bear to leave my friends... I'll miss the school's surrounding so so so much!!! I have this uneasy and sad feeling about it. Why must it be so hard? Thank goodness Prerna's going along, if not it will make leaving even harder. I'll make it a point to keep in contact with my classmates, but I don't know what time the JC hours end. I hear that the hours are longer. *sighs* I'll end here for now, class is ending soon... See you...

Hi! Today was tiring.. Wednesdays are always tiring for me.. All the periods are double.. So exhausting. During Chinese lesson, it was our group's turn to present, but we didn't do a good job, I did the slides last minute work, we didn't prepare. I felt so bad when the teacher keep saying not good enough not good enough, really made me feel so guilty. I enjoyed Literature, as usual, it rocked! The sad thing though, we finally finished 'The Outsiders'. I don't want it to end. I simply LOVE that book. It rocks. I didn't like the outcome of my D&T plastic object, but, oh well, exceptional. I watched Kim Possible and Totally Spies on Disney Channel when I came back, while having lunch.. Then I went to my room and had a nap, so tired, had to recharge for hiphop. Woke at around 5pm, got ready and set off for dance classes!!! *grins widely* First it was hiphop. The crunches alone were a strain for my abs. We learnt the last set for the combination, it was great! I don't know, but when I dance I feel exhilarated, just moving to the beat of the music, it's even better since now I can get the dance steps easily, practice makes perfect! We danced to fast, slow music. Fast is the best to me, really challenging! Then I had flamenco (for information's sake, the maths video's 'flamenco' is NOTHING like the flamenco we do! -.- that was so amusing. If you don't understand this part, never mind, only those from 2e5 will 'dig' =P) We learnt the 4th coupla(don't know how to spell), but I can't remember the 2nd coupla. Hm.. I really like the term 'savvy' from 'The Outsiders', there's this kick to the word that I like. Came back only around 9+pm. Took a shower, and started on Literature. That took me more than 1&1/2 hours. I know it's only optional, but I feel like doing it. It's practice afterall. Oh yeah, I got 2nd for Literature today, tied with Maybellyn. I read her paper, the way she expressed violence was really good. Nafisah's paper topped it all though, her flair for language is AWESOME. She got 23/25, I got 21... Well I'm quite satisfied with the marks. Didn't expect it though, seriuosly didn't expect it. But I'm happy anyway =D! After completing Literature, I did Geography workbook, and am supposed to do my Maths tuition homework, but I'll put it off till tomorrow. Well, I have one request, those who read my blog, please tag a comment on the tagboard! Anything also can, even a 'hello' to let me know you have read my blog okay? Please and Thank You! So tired.. It's nearing 2am.. I'll end here, *yawn* gOoDnIgHt!~

Hi everyone~ So sorry for not updating for so long. Well.. What happened on friday? I just remember that I was in a bad mood over something. Thinking back, the reason was rather childish, I must remember not to have such a childish thinking ever again. But I remember watching Dawson's Creek as a result, that was awesome! I loved it! Can't wait to watch the next season!!! Friday I was very lethargic though, don't know why, felt so tired. Saturday... Hectic day! My cousin's wedding. He's from my father's side of the family and he's the first to get married! CONGRATULATIONS Ah Xin kor kor and Fong Yee jie jie!!! I'm so happy for them! They have been dating for almost 9 years! Fong Yee jie jie has seen me since young and growing up =D Before the night wedding dinner, my mum and I went to do our hair, that was the first time I had such big curls in my hair. But it really added onto the wedding effect for me. I wore a white chifon(or however you spell it) dress which was rather similar to the tinkerbell outfit (bottom part) in Peter Pan the cartoon. Haha, my relatives commented that I look like a fairy. -.- Funny way to describe, but okay~ I was one of the receptionist there that night, asking 'hello, are you from the bride or groom's side' and slotting 'ang paos' into the box. The dinner wasn't too bad. I got to talk to one of my cousins, Yui Ern. She's the youngest next to me (I'm the baby of the family on my dad's side and the oldest on my mum's side) and she's already 19. I haven't talked to her for ages.. It was nice to catch up. Sunday I did some studying and went to Chinese tuition for 4 hours with Li Jun. *groans* That was so tiring. Monday.. The composition exams. For English, I wrote the 'Happiest day of my Teenage Life' question, about the Batu Pahat Trip, haha, Jun Ji wrote that too! =D For the Chinese compo, I wrote the first part a little drama, about 'Being Sick' and wrote the 'gong han', hopefully, I got the 'ge shi' right. Last night I was preparing like crazy for Chinese. 5 chapters. I didn't have time to read the storybook. Haha, I was revising Chinese till the last minute today, I kept staring at the word 'hua ji' then I kept the book when the test paper came. I read the meaning part, lo and behold, the meaning for 'hua ji' came out and I couldn't remember how to write the word! I was panicking like crazy! That was 2 marks per meaning! Phew, luckily I finally remembered. Today's test was easier than the last though, to me. The storybook questions, I read through and didn't know a single one, so I put all 'B's. Just trying my luck. Hope I can get at least 5 marks. Oh yes, today was also Shawn's birthday, Happy Birthday Shawn! =.) He was so generous, gave the class each such a big goody bag with so many gummies. Thank you!~ The sad thing today is though, my mother has left for a business trip to China. *sobs* I was so sad... In the morning before I left for school I *ahem* cried abit.. Hey.. I love my mum, and 10 days, I'll really miss her... I hope she has a safe trip.. Have to prepare for chinese presentation tomorrow and Literature worksheets now, so.. sayonara!~



p.s. Kirby, It's not that I don't visit your blog often, I do almost everyday. But most of your entries have been about your cell group recently, so I don't relate to that and don't know what to tag about that. But just because I don't tag, doesn't mean that I don't read your blog, understand? Hope you do~

Yes!!! I already got my SIMS 2!!! I bought it on Tuesday and am still playing it till today! =D It rocks! But one sad thing... The money code... It's per 1000 only, and it's so difficult to get more money so slowly! Any body knows the code please tell me!!! That will be greatly appreciated! Anyway, nothing much to say, I would have remembered if there was... Well, there is, but it's kind of personal to me =.) So I'll end here, GoOdNiGhT!~

Hi... Today I had to drag myself out of bed.. Was too lazy to go and put on my contacts so went to school with my glasses... I'm sure that will happen very often =P Haha, thank you to Marissa for that pack of bubble gum!!! When I reached school, I saw Maybellyn and Michelle's hair rebonded! Wow, never in a million years did I expect that to happen, but it looked okay, but just not like their old look last time, needs getting used to... Then... Art.. I love art, just sit down there and paint paint paint... Then English, CME, Science, Maths... I didn't even know there was a test today! I forgot to add in about the point etc etc... *Sighs* I know at least 2 marks are gone with the wind... Well.. I have started to feel really exhausted and weak, propbably because of my cough and now starting flu.. The feeling is so weird, as though I'm so fragile... Hope the feeling will pass in a few days... I shouldn't be in front of the com now, so I'm going to ajourne to my room, have to start revision, see you! GoOdNiGhT!~

`+._ lOaDs Of FuN!!! _.+`



Hi!!! Yesterday was a blast! Woke up at 7am and got ready for the trip to Batu Pahat. John and Jun Ji met at my house first then we went to pick up Abygail. We were playing UNO at the customs, Harry Potter UNO *grins* I was so excited about getting to the plantation. When we reached my great uncle's clinic and met them, we headed for lunch and then on to the plantation!!! We took photos along the way. First, we went to the balcony and looked at the view. I took 2 video clips there. The view was absolutely beautiful. Then my great uncle brought us around the plantation. Fisrt, we went to harvest starfruits. My great uncle taught us how to see if the fruit was ripe or not. Then he just took one freshly plucked starfruit and ate it. As I was there to learn and try out new stuff, I also did something I never did before, I ate starfruit, fresh from the tree =D And you know what? It was sooooo sweet and juicy! We went on to harvest the bananas, do you know that one banana tree can only produce fruits once? My great uncle asked us many questions that required us to use our brains and think think think, but we gained alot of general knowledge. Before we set out for this trip, my great aunt had already asked me to bring crystal pineapple to plant, but sadly, the fruit seller cut off all the pineapple leaves, so we weren't able to personalise those pineapples. But we were allowed to take one pineapple each from ones that were already growing and we wrote our names on the leaves. We still planted the pineapples we brought, each one planted one. Phew, that was hard work. My muscles are still aching from lifting the hoe. We took a big round around the plantation and saw many stone boulders and a termites nest! *screams* By the time we reached the house again, I was quite tired, but still eager to go trekking. After resting for awhile, we headed off for the trek. We went through many palm oil trees, banana trees, and many others. (Aby and I tried naming all of them, cant think of the rest, but we already have near 20 species!) It was only at the plantation that I realised that all we had learnt in Geography and Science was put to good use. Along the road there was a man with a yellow shirt on a motorcylce driving up and down up and down, we saw him many times. He asked us where we were going, haha, and we said we were taking a walk. He must have thought we were nuts! *laughs* By the time we trekked about 4km, we were back at the plantation. Climbing up a short hill holding on to a black rubbery thing made our hands all black, hah, and I didn't know. I rubbed my nose and it became black! My mother also didn't know and used her black hands to rub it off for me! Haha, it was worse! Luckily there was a sink nearby! =P I was rather tired when we arrived back at the house on the plantation. The four of us (nick named F4) went to the verenda or patio, whichever you wish to call it, and just sat down there and talked while waiting for our turn to have a bath. It was really beautiful, greenery all around, so peaceful and quiet... We took pictures, especially John =P When Aby and I went for our bath, the guys were playing around with the camera and took a fair lot of photos, i'll put up the pictures on a web soon when I find the time.. I dearly wanted to see the sunset, but sadly the day was too cloudy.. We headed for dinner, steamboat dinner!! The sambal chilli was yummy!!! We drank wine as well. I think that was the first time I drank so much. I felt hot and floaty and my mum said my cheeks were getting rosy =) That's nice! Since the guys wanted to get gifts, we went shopping and ended up buying, Do, Mo and Kun! Do is mine, it's pink, Mo is John's which is blue and Kun is Jun Ji's which is brown! Haha, we looked so comical, three teens with soft toys! But I love Do! It's so cute! When we got back to the car, we took a picture of all three of them, so adorable!!! Bad news on the way back though, I started getting carsick, that was an extremely horrible feeling... But tried to distract my self from it. We saw a beautiful sight on the highway though, the endless sky filled with bright stars!!! There weren't any street lamps, so we could see them very clearly! The sight was breathtaking!!! I wanted to open the window but we were going too fast, so... Oh yes, the boys tried taking a picture of the night sky, but all the ended up with was the reflection of the camera!!! *laughs* We stopped for a toilet break and in the toilet, we heard the boys laughing about something and later found out that they brought the camera into the toilet and... took pictures of the toilet... Haha, it was rather hilarious. Well the rest of the way home was smooth traffic and by the time I reached home, it was around 1.15am. Abygail stayed over and we watched A Cinderella Story up till about 3am. Then we went on with girl's talk, about problems etc... Up till I heard the clock chime 4.30am. Whoa, by then, I was exhausted... So anyway... Today I didn't do much... Aby went home at 2pm after watching Princess Diaries 2... I can't believe the day I looked forward to so much had ended so soon... But it was definately a day to remember, it rocked!!! We said we definately wanted to go back there... But for now... I think I will go to bed it's already 1.13am... so i'll end it here.. GoOdNiGhT!~

Hihi everyone! Last night I typed a really long entry, but my dear computer couldn't update it and all was lost *sighs*. My grandma drove me up the wall yesterday, gosh, I was so irritated with her. Well, I guess she's concerned, but it was a little 'guo fen'. She thinks I don't care about Chinese, when in fact, I care alot about Chinese. Just because I don't like to read Chinese story books, *sighs*... I heard from my grandma yesterday about how sly and cunning some maids can be. Can you believe that one maid baked all her employer's valuables in a CAKE? Some even put stolen valuables into their *ehem* sanitary napkins! Some exchange the valuables they stole with maids from the opposite house, so that when their employers check, they cannot accuse them! I wonder why the maids want to betray their employer's trust like that. My gandma's neighbour's maid had worked for my grandma's neighbour for six years, and he trusted that maid alot. But the maid stole $50 from his wallet every time he drew out $1000 from the bank! Of all the cheek. When she was found out, she was immediately sacked. All for what? Greed? Oh well... I've already cooled down about my grandma fussing over my studies, I just hope she knows that I've improved since mid-year, what else can I do, thank God my mother understands. Today morning I woke up and immediately started preparing for Vanessa's Surprise party. When we got to the beach, (kirbs haven't arrived yet), we put up the tent, *phew, that was tough* then mei chang and balarie came, followed by kirbs and lumps, last but not least, Jun Ji =D We went and played in the sea, that was SO FUN! Loved it... Except the part where there was so much salt water in my eyes, nose and mouth, that was rather stinging, but very fun! Then John, Jun Ji, kirbs, lumps and I went a little deeper into the water, whoa, luckily had the ball to float on *grins* We went for a shower and wanted to settle down and cut cake, have snacks, etc, when the wind started blowing strongly, everything went flying. We rushed to the shelter, then rushed to Eastern Lagoon, the hawker centre. Oh well.. Luckily we swam first. I had to leave earlier for tuition, so John and Jun Ji took a lift and went home too. The other girls stayed for dinner at the lagoon. My eyes were closing during tuition, I was so tired, but managed to concentrate.. My darling computer is giving me problems again. After going to windows update, all the icons seem to have shrunk, even the internet web page, *sighs* help! Oh yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE WEI! =D I'll end here for now~ SeE yOu!~

Hi... Hm.. Today I had piano lessons in the morning and my teacher brought me the Harry Potter theme songs scores, yays!!! Then I went for my cousin's robotics competition at the Science Centre. Er.. It was okay? I didn't really see anything, not what I expected. Maybe I went too late. I only stayed for 10 minutes, then went to MacDonalds to meet my grandparents. During that time, my grandma was telling me about how sly and sneaky maids can be. Can you believe that some maids take their employer's valuables and bake it into a CAKE? Oh my goodness... Some maids exchange their owner's valuables with the maid opposite, so that their owners can't catch them. My grandparent's neighbour's maid took $50 from his wallet when he hung his pants up to bathe every time after he drew out $1000 from the bank, and she woked for him for 6 years! I really wonder why maids want to betray their owner's trust like that.. I heard my grandparent's neighbour trusted that maid alot, but sacked her immediately after she was caught red-handed. My grandma told me that my previous maid called her, to ask her to help her get out of her current job, because she can't stand the owner.. Oh well.. My grandma couldn't do anything though, doing something would be illegal. I heard before, that some maids even put valuables stolen from their employers into *ehem* sanitary pads... What can I say? The best part of today was HIP HOP!!! But the new moves today were kind of more sexual that usual, but it was fun all the same! We are preparing for the concert at the end of the year. When we reached home, my grandma started nagging and nagging all about my studies. Especially Chinese. Oh my God she drove me up the wall. I was so heated up. She thinks I don't care about Chinese, I study very hard for Chinese!!! Harder than any other subject, except Literature that is. Just because I don't like reading Chinese story books doesn't mean I don't care about Chinese. Her thinking is so old fashioned, it's totally different from mine. It's rather unreasonable. Thank goodness my mum isn't like that. My grandma still called my mum up and complained to her. Luckily my mum understands me. My mum trusts me with my studies, I guess that is what makes me want to study harder and not let her down. Gosh, I find myself disliking Chinese when my grnadma nags. Maybe it's the rebellious streak in all teenagers, though some have bigger rebellious streaks than others. Thank goodness my streak isn't too big. I enjoy Chinese tuition, I don't hate it, argh! Why can't she understand. My grandma says my studies are deproving. My studies are better than mid year! Much better! She doesn't understand that. I'm still rather sore about that, but, oh well, forget it. I guess she is very concerned and cares, but this is too much! Anyway, I'm sure I would have calmed down by tomorrow, but I'm sure that tomorrow she's going to nag at me for something else, I'll relate that tomorrow. Hope kirby likes her present =D. Oh yes, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE WEI! =D. It's already 1.26am... so... GoOdNiGhTs!~

Just to add on to today's update, this entry is more focused on my thoughts. Yesterday Zoe and I were discussing about which type of girls guys like. Well, I don't know but maybe we girls just don't know how guys mind work. I often wonder whether guys who will give up everything for the girl he loves , like the guys in Korean Dramas, I really wonder whether they exist. It seems like a fairytale to me, how I long to experience that kind of love. I wish I had a close guy friend whom I could just tell anything to him without worrying whether he will find me irritating, whether he will let the cat out of the bag and is loyal. Watching so many Korean dramas, I want to have a guy who will be there for me to protect me and defend me as well. I don't know what guys look for in girls and the only person I can ask now without feeling awkward is my dad. I thought I used to have good guy friends, but I don't know, guys are hard to understand to me. I wish I was like Hermione, to have two great guy friends like Harry and Ron to count on at all times. Maybe that's the reason why I've always wanted an older brother. I'm not the type of person to go around scouting for guys with the best looks or anything, I go more for guys with substance. But if the guy has looks, well then that's a bonus =.D I mean, I'm like every other normal girl who notices cute guys, that's definately normal, but even though some are very good looking, if they are jerks, then I wouldn't even give the guy a second thought. But I guess the guy must at least be taller and older than me or same age as me. Not too much older though, the most 4 years, but now, the guys are still currently growing, guys my age that is... I guess I'm the kind of girl who is kind of old fashioned, I still believe that it's always the guy who should make the first move, I don't know why, it just seems more adequete to me. Well... I still have a long long way to go, so I'll just patiently wait for Mr.Right to come~ *grins* Oh yes, I watched two shows just now, The Bachelorette and Who Wants to Marry My Dad. Well these kind of shows are entertaining to a certain extent, but... I don't know, can you really find the Mr or Ms Right within that circle of men/women? And If I was one of the girls in The Bachelor, I wouldn't want the guy I love to kiss so many women, love so many women at one time right? I don't know, it seems weird to me. Anyway, I'm getting rather tired, so... GoOdNiGhT~*

Hi, today I woke up at about 11.30am.. Ate lunch at home and watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban again *grins* 7th time and still counting =.D Then I proceeded on to make Literature notes, *grimaces* it took me 3 hours to write down the notes for ONE chapter, it was kind of tiring, did some sit-ups, (want to cut down more weight) and had a bath... I know my entries now a days are boring, just usual day to day stuff, but I'm not in a very hyped up mood to write and discuss different topics. Exams are in a month, sigh, so much to do, so little time.. I was so happy last night, I found the Harry Potter fonts, they rock! I came across the wierdest site today, it's also some kind of a blog, but I think that person must be an enormous Harry Potter fan who has completely lost her senses, it's kind of freaky. But I won't tell the web address as I don't think it's nice to put people blog address unless you come across it yourself. Anyway, I'm getting quite sick of chapter 1 of The Outsiders *groans* I can't wait to go for hip hop tomorrow, it rocks!!! Anyway, I'm entertaining myself by looking through Harry Potter Sites online now, so.. GoODbYe!~

Hi everyone.. Well.. I went for tuition yesterday morning, and then came back to pack my closet till late in the night, so there's nothing much interesting about yesterday... By the way, thank you En Chou for helping me with my speaker, there is sound now! *so happy!* Today was Shawn's Birthday Party, he was so nice, treat us for bowling at Safra and lunch at Macdonlads, Zoe and I felt so bad... Anyway, after lunch we went to play badminton, that was fun, I got a good workout, but I must remind myself to never play badminton in three quater pants ever again! Then we went to Shawn's house for dinner and in between, the guys were playing with the Play Station. There was this really cute game! Haha, it was hilarious too especially when the player keeps dropping. The food was yummy! A big thank you to Shawn's mother for dinner~ Then some played cards, some played PS2 and some played on the computer. All in all, today was fun! Thank you Shawn for inviting me =.) I got back around 8.30pm and was sooo tired. Had a bath and was more refreshed. So I started on my blog. I like the extra things I have done to my blog, and I FOUND MUSIC FOR IT!!! WOOHOO!!! Trust me, all that took me ages.. And I still can't figure out how to make the words at the bottom of the page move like Zoe+Shaun and Yuan's blogs... Help me anyone??? Please??? Okay, anyway, I think I have said enough for one day, so... GoOdNiGhT!

Hi, before I start on today's events, I just want to add in something that happened yesterday which I forgot to add in, it is quite funny. It was raining after school yesterday and Maxine and I were at the bus-stop. Max told me that 229 came so I rushed onto the bus the minute it reached the bus-stop to prevent myself from getting wet. It was only after when I was on the bus then I realised that it wasn't the 229 route. Haha, I panicked and got off the next stop, but for the next 10 minutes, no bus passed and I realised I was short on change. I suddenly became aware that there were many taxis passing, so in the end I took a taxi home. The funniest thing was that the taxi driver ask me how come I'm at the side towards tampines instead of East Coast. Haha, so embarrasing. Anyway, today's workshop was great, at least it wasn't boring. We learnt something from the trainer's name, ABU meaning, Always Believ in Urself. Then When I came home, I was surprised to find my uncle, his girlfriend and my kid cousins at my house. Whoa, those kids are so active. They are at the stage where they keep asking, "Who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend?" Haha, they look @ my class photo and entrepreneurship photo and tried to guess, they refused to believe me when I said I don't have any. *amused* My guy cousin went to surf the net for Happy Tree Friends, oh my goodness, he's only Primary 4 and he's looking at such violence. Anyway, my mother and I went shopping at parkway after that, look around for so long, 5 hours! Our backs and legs were aching. Came back for dinner. My grandma cooked 'Yi Min'. It was delicious! Anyway, I'm really tired now, so... see you!~ GoOdNiGhT!!~~

Hi! Well, I was actually dreading today as we were getting back our progress report cards. I expected that I didn't do well. But luckily, I got not too bad marks, 7th in class, well, I could have done better.. For English and Literature I each miss by ONE mark to get A1 and A2 respectively, sickening right? My Geography and Maths got 92, those are the two subjects I'm so proud of!! But since Kang Yu got 1st for Geography, I couldn't top Geography and got 2nd, oh well, I will work harder. *sobs* *grumbles at Kang Yu* 'Just kidding'.. But congratulations to Kang Yu all the same for topping the class, and congrats to Maxine who improved so much! Jia You! One thing about me though, I'm not the competitive type, I'm pretty satisfied with the results I got this year and just hope that I can maintain it. Today I finished watching Summers Scent, *sighs in contentment* Aw.. It was so sweet.. My family and I went for dinner at Swensens tonight, the fries are delicious!! Anyway, nothing much happened today, have to go to school for entrepreneurship workshop tomorrow, so... see you & GoOdNiGhT!

Well, Vanessa, Li Ling and I went to watch The Stepford Wives yesterday and I must say it was quite funny. Moral of the story: No one is perfect, eveyone has flaws, therefore, accept the person as he/she is. We were supposed to go with Henry and Justin as well, but Henry was snoring in bed, so end up they didn't go, maybe for the best. Before the movie, we went for lunch and walked around. There's something I want to say, but I'll keep it for another day, it's a surprise =P I'm feeling a little irritated with someone right now, but I shall keep my mouth shut. Sometimes I think 'hao xin mei hao bao'. But oh well... We wanted to take neoprints, but I was already late to go somewhere else, so had to postpone. *sorry kirbs and lumps* I rushed to Anchorpoint to get my hair done and guess what? I missed half of my hip hop class. Luckily it wasn't the actual teacher today. A young guy took over the class for today and he went FAST. But the moves weren't as good in my opinion. At first I though my hair looked nice. Argh, now it looks so weird. The hairdresser thin the bottom part way too much, and layered the top too much, it looks so horrible!!! I'm never going to let her cut again, but I gotta live with it first, oh well... Luckily my hair grows fast. Today... had PE, then it rained. It was great, so cool and refreshing, I wish I could play in it. Anyway, I came back, slept and went for tuition. I have to start studying hard for my end year exams already. Alot more notes to be made. Had dinner and practised my piano.. Now... after I finish typing this entry, I have to get started on the comprehension. So... See You!~

Hi again!~ Last night I was crying my eyes out, the Korean Drama was so sad... Would it kill them to make it a happy ending? *sobs* It was literally tears streaming down my face. Today was our school's be yourself day, the theme was retro~ I thought that many people would be in retro dressing, but not alot was, hmph, but I have no regrets for wearing retro. We were taking photos in class, eating, laughing, joking, it was fun. Then we got back our class photos. I'm so glad I bought the enlarged copy, I would have regretted if I didn't, it's my last year here.. *sobs sobs* But I don't know why, it seemed as though all of us had just has a look of pure innocent on our faces, like young kids who are still golden~ It was kind of cute though.. The concert was rather boring till 5/1 performed, then it was GREAT! Good news, 2/5 gets 1st for the Temasek Fabric!!! It's nice to hear our class's name being announced as top 3 everytime there's a competition. The t-shirt designing got 2nd, oh well, if I had known it was a competition, I would have put int more effort, but I guess for a rush one and a half hour job on the t-shirt, I guess we should be satisfied.. After school I went to my primary school still dressed in retro, gosh, I felt so out of place! Haha, alot of people were in school uniform, and it was starting to get really hot. I should have gone and changed into a t-shirt or something. Met up with my primary school teachers, it was really nice seeing them. Talked to Miss Quek for a long time, waited for Justin and Henry *grumbles at the both of you for being so late*. We wanted to see Mrs Soh but she wasn't in. We waited around until finally one teacher said she might have gone home. *argh* The others went home and I was waiting for my grandparents, I was so so so tired. And was going to nod off to sleep soon. Came back and 'plonked' on the bed and slept.. till my grandma asked me to wake up, shower and have a bath~ Practised piano.. now... going to watch Summers Scent!!! So... Bye! `+._GoOdNiGhT_.+`

Hi~ Today i didn't do much besides waking up, reading Harry Potter Stories online, eat and go for tuition. And now I suddenly have the urge to watch Summers Scent, the Korean Drama, my favourite Korean drama =.) My father bought a new Korean drama serial though, one of my favourite actress is in it. I only watched the first disc and I must say, I really can't believe how bitchy(sorry to have to use that word) a girl can be. These are the things that make life difficult and complicated. Sometimes I wonder why people want to be so cruel and harsh when they can lead a nice and simple life, why complicate things and cause other innocent people to suffer? It's simply not fair. The Harry Potter story I read today really made me feel solem. It was about James and Lily, Harry's late parents, and I wonder yet again, why do people want to turn to the dark side, when one can live peacefully? I wished that peace would reign in this world. But, that's kind of asking for the impossible huh? Anyway, I've got to go into high gear mode to make cards for the teachers for teacher's day~ I'm not going to buy anything, after all, it's the thought that counts right? I'll leave it here, so... Goodnight!~

Hi everyone~ This morning, I had to drag myself out of bed and meet at school at 7am for St.John's Flag selling. First we went to parkway, but at 8am in the morning, it was kind of deserted and a number of other students collecting money were already there. One miraculous thing though, a man donated a $10 note to Maxine! We were so surprised! Then we took the bus to Tanjong Katong road. There was worse, really seemed empty besides the TKGS girls at the bus-stop. Feeling low in spirits, we went on to Bedok Market. There people were milling around and we got alot of donations!!! By the time it was 12pm, I was so exhausted and my head was throbbing painfully, so when my grandparents and mother picked me up from school, I decided to go for tuition tomorrow instead of today. After lunch at a really nice place behind Parkway's NTUC, I went back to have a nap up till about 5plus pm. Rushed to get ready for the beauty pagneant and waited for my dad to come back and pick me up. We went to pick up one of my aunties and my cousin before heading to Ritz Carlton Hotel. I've recently been hearing my relatives commenting about how much I've changed, towards a better appearance, compared to Primary 6 (shudders at memory). I always hear this phrase from them, " nu da 18 bian" means as a girl grows up, she changes 18 times. It's flattering, but after awhile, it gets kind of embarrasing. At the pagneant, the IC was hilarious, simply hilarious, it's hard to explain, but i certainly laughed alot. Everyone was dressed so nicely, so chic. And what's more, I never knew that the washrooms in Ritz Carlton Hotel were so grand and nice! *laughs* I only reached back around 11.45pm. So tired... Now it's already 2.18am~ Last night, when I was thinking about leaving Temasek Secondary, a tear or two slipped out, couldn't help it, I really can't bear to leave... Oh well, I've still got to move on strong... I don't think I have anything else to say, so... Goodnight!~ =.D

Hi everyone! I'm back to blogging now! I've finally managed to reformat my computer! *all smiles* Thanks alot alot to En Chou and Nigel for helping me!~ Okay... So much has happened since about a month ago, actually, I can't remember detailed information, so I'll just relate the past happenings that left a huge impact on me. On the 24th or was it 25th of July, I went to my Grand Aunty's fruit plantation in Batuh Pahat, Malaysia. All I can say is that I loved every single minute of it! The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful! I was so entralled! I went for a walk down at the plantation and all around me were trees of diferent fruits, it was like walking through the woods, that has been my dream for ages! It finally came true. It was the last week of the durian season, so we still managed to eat alot(and brought home alot), of durian too! It was just great!!! I can't wait for the September holidays, I'm going to go there again with some friends this time round, I can't wait to go back there!!! It's just so peaceful~ Oh and not to forget the really nice and fragrant coffee. It's like starbucks, only nicer and much cheaper! On to the next event, I got accepted into the integrated programme at TJC! I was so so so happy, but, felt extremely sad as well... I only have barely 2 months left in Temasek Secondary... *sobs* All my friends from Temasek Secondary reading this now, please note: KEEP IN TOUCH!!! please? I'll miss you all loads.. Thank goodness Prerna is also going to TJC~ Enough with the past events, moving on... Now looking at the future, we have about 11 more school days before the end-of-the-year exams! That's seriously too fast, way too fast. I've got to start studying harder! Let's just say I'm not satisfied with my marks this term, except for Geography. Luck must really be on my side for the two Geography CAs. The first one I got 27/30 and the second one I got 19/20, trust me, I couldn't believe my eyes. Ever experienced that kind of a feeling whereby you see what you consider a good mark for a test paper which you expected to do badly, and feel nothing but sheer surprise and after awhile the numb feeling washes away and you are so happy? Yeah, that was the kind of feeling I had. Anyway, I was disappointed for Literature, I was hoping to get a A2 and above, but I only got 69, why must I miss that one mark!!! Oh well, accepted it and will work harder. The coming Tuesday is be-yourself-day in my school, and the theme this year is retro, so I went looking around at This Fashion tonight with my parents, bought a simple top, just to participate in it, I think it'll be rather fun, the only thing though, I don't think there's any way that I can possibly do the ACES day workout in the retro outfit. Can't wait to visit my primary school teachers and to meet my friends. Today Vanessa came over, was really glad to see her, haven't seen her for AGES!!! We got to meet more often ya Kirbs? And don't worry that I wouldn't have time to meet up next year just because of the intergrated programme, I will definately make time. BFFs girl!~ =.D Tomorrow night, I'm going to support my cousin, 19 years old I think, who had made it to the finals of a beauty pageant, all the best!!! Argh, I just remembered I have to wake up at 6.30am tomorrow on a Saturday morning, *groans*. Have the St.John's flag selling CIP thingy with Maxine and Prerna... Anyway, there's nothing much more for me to say now, I'll add as I remember~ Oh yes, congratulations to John, Shawn and the others who got full marks for this time's Geography test! Great Job!!! =.D

Hi, Thank You to Marissa for giving me the packet of BubbleGum, yay! Yesterday didn't have anything much, had choir, it was quite ok. Then I came back, had a nap and watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban again, it ROCKS!~ For today, I love Wednesdays since there are two of my most favourite subjects, two periods of Literature *CHEERS* And two periods of Science. I was reading this book callled Earthsong by Catherine Culter, not the Earthsong book I was looking for, this is a romance, and I was absorbed by the book, reading it every possible moment in school, I actually tried to read during Chinese period, but didn't get to read too much, the guilty conscience fell in, so I listened to Ma Lao Shi. At one part she was telling us about how much some people in China hated the Japanese beacuse of what they did. And she told us what they did. My hairs were standing, and I remember her telling us the same thing before. Maths, as usual, I wasn't really paying attention, was doing my own wrok at my own speed. During English Prerna and I have already finished the story so I quickly finished my Comprehension on Carrie's War (I've already read that book, it's quite nice) and resumed reading Earthsong. I can't remember, was I imagining it, or did Mrs Loke yell at me to see her after school because I wrote my composition badly, I must have been imagining things, cause I somehow have a feeling that that was part of a dream. Can any 2e5 member help me recount? For Science we received a big lecture about how students nowadays are so lazy compared to the batch of 1986. Well, I agree with Mr Tan but, I don't know why we are like that, oh well. I'll try to put in more effort. We haven't started on the Science project yet, tomorrow the rest are coming to my house I think to get started on the project. I just realised that I didn't write down the Science website Mr Tan gave us again. At first I was ready to go for TAG practice, but end up, they decided to take the day off and go out instead, I wanted to go too, but I was too tired and wanted to take a nap before studying Literature, so.. Didn't go... *sighs* After my nap when I came home, I once again thought it was morning, wondering why my maid was asking me what I wanted to eat, I thought she meant breakfast. She was so amused with me. Oh dear, my memory's going. Waited for my parents till about 9 plus for dinner, practised piano and just finished revising Literature. Now I'm 'resting' before going to bed, so GoOdByE~

Hi, well, today wasn't very interesting. Art was quite nice though, at least its a period where I can chat to friends, draw and enjoy air-con, so.. I quite like it =D haha, for English, I was dead bored, really bored, for CME, well, it was just chit-chat, for Science, I mysteriously couldn't keep awake, I was constantly overwhelmed by drowsiness. And for some perculiar reason, my left arm ached so much. I forgot to take down the web address for Science, I must remember tomorrow. *sigh* Tomorrow there's ting xie, I have only learnt chapter 13 & 14. I don't have confidence that I can remember either. So I have to revise. Bi Ji, I left chapter 17, 18 & 22. I'll try to rush it by tonight, if not, then oh well. Just hope I don't need to copy ke wen again. After school, I forgot I was meeting Denise in the canteen, rushed to foyer to meet my grandparents, halfway in the car going for lunch I suddenly realised. *apologises Denise* When I reached home, I read Earth Song by Catherine Culther. It's a romance, it's quite nice, but not the Earthsong book I'm looking for. I'll keep searching, but I'm planning to search the net. Had a nap till 7. I didn't realise it, and I thought it was morning. I freaked as I thought I would be late for school. Luckily I got back my senses and realised it was evening. Had a shower, yummy dinner and practised piano. Now.. I'm going to do homework, it's almost 10pm, so I got probably have to burn midnight oil, GoOdByE for now~

Hi!~
COLOURS can be used now~ cool right? Well, lets start with updating on Friday. Well, it was the day of the TAG competition and you know what? WE WON CHAMPION!!! I'm so happy for them! And so proud to be new TAG member. Mr Oh treated us Burger King at Cineleisure since everywhere else was closed. At first we wanted to go to Swensens, but the queue was too long. *sobs* But anyways, it was a lovely meal enjoyed with friends~ Thanks to Yuan Li for helping me buy the Harry Potter sticker book, I LOVE IT!!! Then after that, I went for a movie with Denise, Henry and Chester, watched Spider Man 2 again. This particular cinema's audio effect is marvellous but scary, I got a heart attack about 10 times, haha. At all the fighting part I was covering my eyes, just don't like watching them, but besides that, it's quite a nice movie, but still can't beat Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. *smiles* Yeah yeah, I know I'm being bias about that, but it's only my opinion right? =P The movie ended at around 2.15am. Then my parents sent Denise, Chester and Henry to Siglap where a whole row of taxis were parked for I don't know what reason, so they managed to get a cab real quick. By the time I reached home it was about 3am in the morning, fell asleep real quick listening to the sounds of dolphins and the sea on my CD player, really soothing. The next day I woke up at 3pm, can you believe it!!! That's a record for me, and I thought it was only 10am. I skipped choir. Um.. Felt kind of bad, especially since both Ryan and Licia also skip, so apologies to Shermaine. Then went for a really late lunch at Bakery Depot, mushroom sandwich, yummy! Upon reaching home, I started on my draft for the science-fiction story. After that, I went out with my parents for dinner at Sake Sushi at Wheelock place, then went to Borders to buy some books. The books are great, can't wait to read them. Wish there were more hours in a day... The saying, so much to do, so little time. Today was tuition day, I'm so glad both tuitions are over. I had Chinese in the morning and Maths in the afternoon, so I just came back. Well, my Mum wants me to help her make sausage pasteries for her childcare's open house the coming Saturday, so... Bye for now!~

 

Btw, here are the links to hear the pop star version of the songs TAG sand for the competition.

Hi, yesterday we had TAG practice, and I managed to do my chapter 16 bi ji, *hehs*. Well, for the Temasek Acadamy thing, if by August I don't hear from them, then I'm not in, so right now, I'm still a bit hopeful, but I'm not going to worry my head over this now. At night, I went with my mum to MPH and I bought 3 award winning books. The book titles are 'The Great Gatsby', 'The Prophecy of the Stone' and 'Wuthering Heights'. Today morning, it was raining cats and dogs and the line of cars outside our school was so long! Anyway, was very cold when I got to class, luckily I brought my jacket. I usually thought that PE when it was raining is simply lovely, but, I was so wrong. We had to do 30 push-ups, striding etc etc. Now I think I prefer sunny days PE lesson. My muscles were wobbly by the end of it. However, we were let off about 20 minutes earlier for recess, so I went to have a bath. A bath never felt so good.. At first our photo taking session was scheduled for 12.45pm, but ended up, we had it after recess, my hair was still a little wet, but luckily it was not too untidy. *phew* The formal photo was.. normal.. the informal one however was so much more fun this year! All the girls went infront and did funny posts. Since I regretted not buying the 8r size photo for both the informal and formal last year, this year I made it a point to, I can't wait for it to come out! *grins*. Unfortunately after school, I heard that TAG had a stroke of bad luck. We found out only in the morning that they changed the competition to tomorrow. My opinion, that is so, so, so unfair. Stephen lost his voice and I think Ryan has caught a flu. I could see that Henry was rather disturbed and was pacing, but I don't blame him, I would have been pacing too. When I reached home, I went online for awhile before watching the movie 'Ghost'. Its really a great romance story, I recommend it. During the movie my leg muscle suddenly cramped and it was so painful! Normally my leg cramps last for only the longest 10 seconds, but this time, it still lasted for 10 seconds but relasped 3 time! By the 3rd time, I was literally crying out loud, so go and figure how painful it was. I couldn't walk properly at first, but after awhile I could hobble. Well, tomorrow is Racial Harmony Day, I'm going to wear a penjabi(don't know how to spell) costume. Was comtemplating between the Vietnam Costume of the Penjabi Costume, but end up, decided to wear the Penjabi costume since I wore the Vietnam one last year. One last message: Stephen and Ryan, hope you both GET WELL SOON!!! REALLY SOON!!! TAG, I have faith that you all can pull it off, have faith guys!!! ALL THE BEST!!!

Today was quite boring, not elaborating on school stuff. Well, after school, had choir. We learned a new song called 'Swallow', it's quite a nice song. Just realised being a sectional leader is tiring.. *tired* Alto 1 sectional leaders are Shermaine and I, Alto 2 sectional leaders are Ryan and Licia, The Sops and Mezzos I forgot. *hehs* About the through-train thing, I have a feeling that I can't get in, there's still no news, I am so disappointed.. I just can't help feeling dejected you know. It's not that I don't want to stay in Temasek Sec, I can't bear to leave it, but I was eager to take on the Acadamy's programmes. *BIG SIGH* I don't know, I'm just feeling so down and disappointed. Irritated with someone too, oh well, in life, we must learn to tolerate, so.. I'll end here, goodnight~
