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.

I DO ( cherish you) by 98 Degrees

World of Our Own by Westlife I can't find it, if you want to hear it.. Well... Borrow from a friend?

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~

I don't like writing about the type of people I don't like, so I won't write. However, I still must say this, I dislike people who take me for granted just because they consider me 'rich'. I am not. I just come from a more well-off family.

Hello, I'm kind of losing hope of being able to get into Temasek Acadamy, Prerna received her call on Saturday, now it's Monday, and I haven't received mine yet. Oh well, I just hope for the best. I keep wondering whether I left a good impression or not, whether I am good enough or not, whether I this whether I that, argh, its infuriating! *Sighs* Today during art we had to draw things to do with 'getting ready', and we drew an apple. Oh well. Well, I can say its a very boring day in school today.. After school had TAG meeting, I enjoyed myself again~ I read Harry Potter Fanifictions after that, had a bath, and set on changing the blogskin yet again. NOW I'm satisfied with it. Well, finished my yue du bao gao, now left 3 chapters of biji... *sighs* Why am I sighing so much??? I'm not going to do it now, I'll do Literature, really no mood to. Everyone, please leave your trace on the tagboard if you drop by and read kae? And please comment on this skin, those who have seen the other skins please compare and comment, PLEASE AND THANK YOU! GoOdByE~

Hi, well, I went for the interview on Saturday morning, waited outside for an hour before it was my turn, then my turn.. The interviewers look soooo bored.. But I kept on a smile. They nearly stumped me on some questions, phew, lucky I can answer, don't know whether good or not though. When my interview was over, going out of the room i accidentally kicked the table, so embarrasing *blushes*.. CONGRATS TO PRERNA WHO ALREADY GOT IN!!! I hope I can make it, as much as I can't bear to leave Temasek. Then went for TAG, went to Tanjong Pagar to look at the competition venue, its was so retro! My mum went for awhile and all of my friends said that my Mum is so young, they thought she was my sister. *GRINS* After 'checking out' the place, we went to one corner and practiced. TAG JIA YOU!!! Sounded better after the practice. By the time we went for dinner, it as almost 9 plus. I ate Hokkien Mee and Mr Oh treat us for a drink, Soya Bean Milk. Erm, however, Soya Bean Milk and I don't go very well together, but thank you Mr Oh all the same =). On the MRT, Mr Oh talked about arms being cut off & ripped off until my hair was all standing! Hmph. Haha~ By the time I reached home it was about 10pm. By the way, I must thank TAG for making me feel like I belong, and not feel as though I am so extra. You guys Rock! =D Today.. Woke up and went for Chinese tuition in the morning, had Hokkien Mee again for lunch, was supposed to go for Maths tuition, but ended up, it was cancelled. So, went home to relax. Around 8pm, my Mum and I went to Parkway for dinner, wanted to have Hokkien Mee again, but my Mum didn't allow me to, she said if I eat any more Hokkien Mee, my face would turn to Hokkien Mee -.- So ate Fried Kuay Teow instead. The main objective of going parkway tonight was to buy a book called Earth Song, but it was out of stock, so I browsed around the award winning books. Wanted to buy 'The Great Gatsby', 'The Prophecy of the Stone', a book all about Harry Potter and another book I can't remember the title, but didn't have time, so I'm going back there on Wednesday. =D Come back... wanted to do homework but end up slack again, so, tomorrow will put in more effort, and since I have nothing else to say, and this entry is already very long, GoOdByE & gOoDnIgHt!~

Hi guys, well, spent last night and this evening changing my blogskin, now I'm so happy with it! Harry Potter Rocks!!! Please leave your comments bout it ok? Please and Thank You! Today went for TAG after school, had fun~ We wanted to walk around school singing, but end up seemed like all the places unsuitable for us to practice.. So... End up we went to the staircase to practice, the acustics(don't know how to spell) were great there. After TAG, had piano, *groans*, luckily I could play my songs rather well. My family and I went to Swensens at Parkway and had a delicious meal! Love the chicken there, and the fries! They were awesome!!! Was so bloated.. Went to Evergreen and MPH to buy stationary and books, but could'nt fint the book I wanted. Anybody heard of the book Earthsong? It's a science-fiction. An extract of it was taken and printed on Step Ahead Sec 2 English Textbook as comprehension. Anyway, tomorrow I have the Temasek Acadamy interview, 2 tests down, left the interview. I hope I can make it in. Well, if I can't, I also don't mind, because honestly, I don't really feel like leaving Temasek Secondary so soon... Oh well, let fate take its course..

Hi everyone, I'm so sorry for not updating for almost a week. Last Thursday and Friday was the musical, and it was GREAT!!! On Thursday, everyone was so hyped up and did an excellent show!!! We had feedback that everyone enjoyed it! On Friday, when it was the actual day of the Musical, well, everyone was very emotional. On Thursday, we were looking forward so much to another great day ahead of us, but just before the performance on Friday, it occured to many of us that that would be the last time we acted out the musical, and practiced for it. A number of us cried before the performance and alot of us cried after the performance. As Fanny(the director) spoke, tears pricked the back of my eyelids and threatened to fall, but I controlled them. I was so sad that the whole thing was over! I couldn't imagine not going back to school for those long hour practices in the hall, or the rush-rush dressing up at Kallang. The moment I bowed at the end of the Musical on Friday, I felt so much pride, pride for Temasek, that we had put on such a great Musical. All our efforts had not gone to waste. After the performance, the screams, the cheers, the 'wOoOs!~' and the Temasek cheer, we left and I rushed to the entrance, but was too late to meet my relatives, but managed to meet my parents and grandparents. Thanks to Kirbs and Lumps for coming to support. Love you guys. Well, when I reached home, I just started crying. I really really couldn't imagine that the musical was over. All the friends I made during the Musical. People in choir that I have never talked to before. The choir is now closer than ever. Well the week after the Musical, there was no choir practice and I already missed it. Last Saturday was the test for the through-train thing, the GAT and English test was east, but the Maths, it was SO difficult!!! It was a killer! Now I'm just waiting whether they accept my results for the test.. so... Yesterday rushed for Literature project, then because of the musical and other things, well, I am kinda behind my work, and didn't do my ke ben exercise yesterday, so today had to copy chapter 17 4 timeS!!! Sigh, luckily i managed to finish quickly, then I went for TAG. Although I'm not allowed to take part in the upcoming competition because I just joined, I enjoy watching them practising. Oh yes, for entreprneurship, our hard work paid off too, we did make profit, though we haven't counted. Oh gosh, it's so late, almost 12am, have to finish up my work, I don't want to get into anymore trouble if I can help it. Especially for Chinese. GoOdNiGhT!~
