i should be doing bio, y'know
my life's been totally crazyyyy. got all them projects and all. AND so you know, i SHOULD BE DOING BIO NOW. if jj finds out, im sure he'll kill me or something... but yesh, i feel erm, bored, so i'll blog. wheeeeee. oh and also because i have not blogged in forever & i miss my blog.
andyway, today was ok. ish. i mean, i slept at 1 am last night/this morning, which is better than sleeping at 1.30 or 2. which is what i did last year & i vowed not to do this year, but i have done it. CRABSTICKS. humans was ok. OHMIGOSH. I SUDDENLY REMEMBER I HAVE HUMANS HOMEWORK & I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA HOW TO DO IT. ARGH. i shall have to do it after this post. then bio. SIGH.
yeah, lang arts was fun AS USUAL. the class taught miss nansi how to play the clapping-name game. and then she was like, way confused/freaked out & didnt dare try. then they showed her concentration, which she also dared not try. LOL. then we ended up playing 7-up, cuz she started explaining about how she & her friends played it too, except they used tiger & you can get drunk. LOL. we got up to like 100+ and we all got confused and stopped playing. super lol-madness.
i refuse to blog about chinese.
maths was ok too. i understood it. SO HOOORAY. then it went sad after i got my "assignment" paper back. whoppeee i failed. anyway, i already told my mum that i would. so, yeah. THIS GIVES HER EVEN MORE REASON TO GET ME TO HAVE MATH TUITION. and i have no time. SO YAY. yeah, then was music-art which we explained our games & our group got let off early cuz we'd done the essay already.
ok, i think i just bored the wits out of everyone who may be reading this. yucks.
OH! i suddenly remembered why i wanted to blog about o-night, because it really helped me to feel close to God. ok, so here it is. (i'll like skim through the not-so-important parts because they're mediocre)
right, so i went for a blood test in the morning, then i rushed off to school to practice for O-night. so we practiced for our different bits. the singers their songs, the strippers their dance & the stompers their beats. i was a stomper! and i got to hit a chair. WHOOTERS. but my hand was a bit weak from the blood test, but it was still way ok. :) blah blah blah, lunch, more practice, dry runs, more practice. then at 6, o-night started. remember, the last meal i had was lunch.
anyway, so our performance was 3rd & was a BLAST! whoooot! it was hilarious and our best ever. in between the performances, the contestants of the mr & miss o-night pageant contest performed. they sang songs and acted a wee bit. and then there was a singing item by these 2 girls who had really good voices! and the results were out. we tied with another group for our performance in 1st place. however, we didnt win orientation. oh well, it's just the bonding that counts. X) after that, they had a concert that was ok. did a lot of jumping, and im shocked that i actually survived through it all. but OF COURSE, MY STOMACH HURT LOADS. sigh sigh.
after the concert & a round of mass dancing, we went off to mac's for dinner. I CANT BELIEVE I TURNED DOWN MY DAD'S OFFER TO DRIVE ME HOME BEFORE HE WENT TO SLEEP. i cant believe i believed hui fen that some buses stop at 1am. im a dum-dum. anyway, so i bought a mcnuggents students' meal. and i had to resist the temptation of a cold drink. cos, if not, my stomach would hurt. and it was horrible. i was suffering in silence. well, not really. but sort of silence. my stomach really hurt so bad. next time, i think i'd better bring food - IF NOT I'LL DIE.
so after that, so people who lived in marine parade area wanted to go, so i went with them. HOWEVER (im really sorry if these caps are irritating you, but im trying to get my point across by exagerrating), the bus services had all stopped. i was at a loss, because, how could i get home? my dad's asleep & he cant send me home, im broke & i cant take the taxi. SO WHAT DO I DO. i had to walk home. yes you read it correct: walk home from bedok bus interchange. ok, so i could've taken the mrt, but i didnt want to walk home from eunos. THOUGH I SHOULDA DONE THAT. yucks.
so i walked home with trent & melvin. and it was a long walk. we started at 11.55+ & i reached home at 1.15. FABULOUS HUH? and can you believe i have church the next day/later in the morning? like, utter madness.
__________________
anyway, this is a precious lesson learnt. never turn down my dad's offer to drive me home for dinner with my OGMs/classmates. that's the stupidest thing i can ever do. T_T
mmm, im still adjusting to sec 3 stuff. maths is really killing me big time. argh. REMAINDER & FACTOR THEOREM: THE BANE OF MY LIFE! yucks yucks. maths tuition. *shudders*
V-day is coming. people are getting dates to go out on. is it really that important/essential? i mean, v-day, is gonna be like another normal wednesday for me. except that i might sleep at 3 the night before, if i time things UNcorrectly. why? because of the hearts that i'll be making. lol, that sentence sounds weird... haha. but yeah, gonna try to make one for everyone in the class. but if i really run outta time, gonna have to personalize some glow-in-the-dark hearts for the remainder whose hearts i dont have time to sew. X_X but i'll feel really bad of course...
i cant think of anything else to write. i feel so uninspired. oh yeah, CNY's coming! but i havent bought any new clothes (ok, so i did buy a top from Do Perkins, but that's all) cuz i bought them last year during all the (post-) christmas sales. la dee laa. right then. i shall be getting on with humans now. then bio. then maths. sigh, my life's so packed up with things...
what's wrong with me/YARRRRGH-GOTTA STOP IT/cant let it go on! *hits self*

my life now
like, omg, my life's been the craziest- AND IT'S ONLY THE 4TH WEEK! the projects, the searching for information, GOSH, COULD LIFE GET ANY HARDER? huh, sigh. but that's life. i've learnt to zccept it, in a small way. projects we had to do this week are: chem project, humans project & bio project. well, at least we finished our humans one already- and it was pretty erm, horrible. ours was on vietnam. i guess we werent really that prepared. it was too long! 20 mins! what madness!!! guess we need to cut down on them words. but not so, in bio. we need to make it 20 mins long. hopefully hong wei (china scholar) can last through speaking 4 mins...
now we have chem presentation due next week, bio handout tonight, bio presentation in week 6. wow, my life's really one hectic mad thing! LOL. yeah, so ANYWAY, i'm in Dance Club now! yay for God! He's been answering quite a few of my prayers this week. i guess im really glad we learnt about praying every day on saturday. have been quite successful so far. hopefully this practice can last me the rest of my life! here they are:
1st prayer request: take away the pain in my toe during my audition. here's a bit of a background. i sprained my toe last week, during my dance audition. i was awfully awfully sad. it was really painful, but what o was crying about was, not being able to do my audition. the girls who were helping me were like, CHAY. that actually thought the pain was THAT unbearable, but i have quite a high tolerance to pain, so yea. anyway, God was really good to me. He really took away the pain in my toe during the audition! it really didnt hurt! but that was also partly because i was careful not to put too much pressure on it. but still, all Glory to God!
2nd prayer request: if it is His will, i would be able to get into Dance Club. obviously by now, you should know that im in! hmm, im really tempted to write my whole crazy tuesday, on which the 2nd audition took place. maybe later, when i have time, because my mum's insisting that i get off the com by the time she returns from buying dinner. ah well.
3rd prayer request: a computer with microsoft powerpoint which we can use. because our tablet PCs are new, they dont have ppt/microsoft office in it. and we really needed to do the powerpoint slides for our humans project- which was REALLY RUSHED. i mean, the teachers gave it to us on tuesday & expected us to be able to present it on thursday. YUCKS MAN. so like, the night before, i had prepared the part which i was assigned to do on powerpoint. i thought, if im the only one who is doing the ppt, i pray that there'll be a com which i can use, so that we can finish the project properly. and guess what? the next day, jj had installed ppt onto his com & we could use it. plus, he;d done most of the slides, so we combined it together to finish it of! Praise God, huh?
God's just really good, and i wanna thank Him for it. He's really good in my life, and so i want to do all i can for Him. which is what my current "personal project" is about. hehe. *shifty eyes* lol.
ok, anyway, here's the picture of me in my project run-away outfit. i know my eyeshadow's gaudy [because it's actually gold glitter stuck there with gel], but it IS kinda cool from afar. but when you're next to me, with my glitter eyeshadow, it's kinda scary... {and yes, this is why i was crying glitter-gold tears on omega night...}
very jungley huh? everything was made, by team Judah! whooooots! ok, so my mum's whining for me to "be more sensible" and get off the com. PLUS, i need to edit the bio project handout. AND i havent er, finished my ahem, CBSI homework. so love love & more soon! (",)

post from school
yay, free period! here i am with my tablet pc, typing out in the slowest speed ever! NEOPETS IS BANNED, LIKE TOTALLY OMG MADNESS. i mean, i feel so deprived. it was like, way better in tkgs. i could access neopets & like, THERE WAS PHOTOSHOP. i have to totally get my dad to get it for me. yeah, right as if he would spend on something like that...
last night was horrible on the car ride home from my grandmother's house. i dont even want ta recap in here. it's just a... a... thing i wanna see changed. it's a matter my dad & brother really need to solve. like, it's just not nice to talk about it. let's changetopic. here's a poem im working on & like, it totally furthur brings down the mood of the post.
Suffocation
It grips me on the throat and doesn't let go
It stares me in the eye and laughs as i groan.
I struggle to break free, but it's strength just grows
Sometimes when i succumb to it, it's strength weakens and i feel better.
But it never lasts.
It never will, until i do something about it.
But what?
As my eyes start to close, i hear the cruel laughter and i sigh.
I can breathe, i'm sure.
But I have to wait or maybe change...
I wanna, but i need that thing that starts with h.
I'm willing to work on it.
BUT CAN I LAST THAT LONG?
sorry, i know this post sounded fun-ish. then i had to talk about yesterday, then i had to post this poem. i just feel like, too many things are happening too quickly. but yeah, i know. sigh. i dont feel like posting O-night because it's like kinda outdated by now. oh, alright. i'll do a quick summary. I PROMISE.like, all we did for the afternoon, was practise practise practise. then we did our performance, with the o-night pageant people doing their performances too. blah blah blah, we didnt eat dinner till like 11, cos after o-night, we rocked to this really good band. we had like macers. then um, because all the buses had stopped service at bedok interchange, i had to WALK HOME. but it was a fun experience with melvin & trent. i practically walked half the way home myself, but who cares.i suddenly remember. i havent posted me in my project runway outfit LOL. i'll do that when i go home! ok, better go for lunch now!

another picture post-YAY!
yeah yeah. i know. i shoulda blogged earlier. sadly, i didnt have enough time. but anyway, here's the SECOND part of the picture post (which was supposed to be altogether) since blogger screwed up on me & pissed me off big time.
ANYWAY, here's from where i left off:
so, i had spongebob on the post before this one. here's dora, beiyi & i. boots (the monkey) is REALLY REALLY cute. like, too bad he's just a "stick-on" on dora's arm. so, he'll never look at the camera, unless dora positions him/it so...
this is super ultimate randomness. like, we were done with our picture-taking session & nicole just noticed this stupid potted plant IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. i felt it absolutely important to put this picture up, cos it just shows how random life can totally be!
now, for nicole's birthday, on the 17th of Jan:
haha, i wore a skirt. well, it's actually a skirt-shorts, cos there were shorts inside the skirt. and because the skirt just seemed so plain & i didnt want to wear a belt, so i got a ribbon. it was the longest ribbon from my grade 2 or 3 character skirt, so i had to fold it into 3. and then i tied this CUTE little ribbon at one side. [and everyone goes: AWWWWWWW...]
i brought my Mean Girls DVD & we watched it. After that, we sang nicole a birthday song & we got to eat CHOCOLATE CAKE! yum yum yum. (i wanted to put up a picture of us 3 around the cake, but i think we all looked weird) btw, that's beiyi's hand & fingers!
another INCREDIBLY random pic. we were walking out to the bus-stop & we just saw this palm tree branch dangling in the middle of one of those overhead wire thingys. i think the wind blew it there, but it's still so crazily random.
NOW FOR CHRISTMAS WITH THE KANG'S!!!
check out the log cake we got. it was from breadtalk & the decorations are so minimal! i would've liked a raindeer & a snowman too, not just ol' santa. but the cake was really filling. SO.MUCH.CHOCOLATE!!!
ok, so here are ALL the presents i got + a bit of the christmas tree. this year, my mum decorated the tree all by herself when i was away practising for the Clown Musical. so sad, but she did a really great job, as usual, since she's the one with the artistic genes in the family.
[i have got some of those genes, but my dad's genes barged in, thus, leaving me slightly artistic. yay me. :/]
and these are my really favourite christmas prezzies (exclude the "Santa Bear". that one wasnt a christmas prez). in clockwise from left: Bratz: Forever Diamondz' Diamond necklace & Sharidan doll, Santa bear, TY Kiki the monkey, Precious Thots bear, PINK iPod NANO [also not a christmas prez, but i had to put it there], "foam mirror" thing, Precious Moments Moose.
arent they cute?^
----------------------------------
ok, so i had this other picture of my coolest christmas present, but i accidentally deleted it & i refuse to waste my time uploading it again, so never mind, cos anyway, you can still see it in my christmas presents picture above above. it's the Bratz: Rock Angelz Band Insturmentz. THE COOLEST TOY EVER. my aunt got it for me from London. i feel slightly guilty for the fact that it took up so much space in her luggage, but she said it was ok. i still feel bad.
yeah, my "computer time" is almost up, so i better stop here, if not my mum'll SCREEEAAAM. right then. more soon from me. I HOPE. oh yes & tomorrow's the Dance auditions & im really scared, cos the standard here is really high, i heard. wish me all the best!!! looooooves~

this is my picture post-FINALLY. hehe, 2 posts in 2 days. im making progress! oh & i just realised i forgot to "celebrate" my [finally] 100th post. so, i'll just celebrate my 102nd post with a picture post! yay!
Beiyi's Birthday at Vivo:
this is what i call a natural waterfall. it's not man-made. the rain made it. WAHA.
fake bunny=me [ignore the hair thing. i was going through a hair-over-my-eyes phase, im SO over it now cos i dont want my right eye to become a "lazy eye"], sbunny=beiyi!
awwww, 'in this the cutest pony ever?
geofrrey talks. and moves. and sings off-key. *GAGS* he's freak-ay
it was nickelodeon's get-up, get out & go play. spongebob was there. isn't he the funniest? his arms were like, STICKS. lol, so much for beiyi's arms being really skinny.
ok, blogger's gone wonky. i can only post these for now. i'll try to get more of beiyi & nicole's birthday & christmas. but this is it for now! <3s!

that stupid post
gosh, im so way behind time. so much for squeezing in more posts before the new year rolled around. i am SO WAY SAD. i guess i neednt post anything else. so i shall start afresh on the first post of the new year! more, but shorter paras! and i shall start with the first day of school. i shant blab on about chirstmas, but i will put up a picture of all the prezzies i got. later on. somehow. dunno when. back to the first day of school:
ok, so i walked into school, all freaked out & WAY nervous, cos it's a new school & a TOTALLY NEW environment. gotta make a good impression on the first day of school. dont wanna seem too nerdy etc, y'know. anyway, now there's BOYS & a bigger campus (somehow yet, with minimal toilets...). i slept at um, around 1/2 am the night/morning before. so i was dead. whacked out. tired. SLEEEEEEEPY. PLUS, i was sick. with a flu & my voice as weird as anything (NOT THAT IT'S ANY BETTER NOW- i mean, it's still low and er, weird-it used to be SLIGHTLY higher)
so like, we gathered at Lecture Theatre 2 and i sat next to beiyi. oh & i ended up [like broken tape recorder] saying "i'm tired/ i feel sooo sleepy" and "i'm sick/i feel really sick" most of the time. which made me feel VERY UNenthu. we had like, some talks & stuff, whereby the whole time, i was feeling so dead beat. then we did some cheers. WHICH i was again, very UNenthu about. blahblahblah. oh yeah & y'know Jeremy, the NKF ambassador, is in the school & so, we have to be REALLY careful around him. we had like, icebreakers after something [look, my memory seems to have fogged up] & it was quite ok. we played double whacko & something else. ergh, what's going on with my memory?
anyway, after all those talks & a bonding session/ icebreakers, we had to go out of school for lunch-WHICH i wasnt too happy about. cos i really wanted to try the school stuff. we did some more bonding & went back into school. next up, was a singing session with the school's VP, who is a really nice guy, i must say. he played the guitar & sang 3 songs with us. something, if you're happy and you know it & the school song. he's got quite a good voice, i must say!
THEN, it was time for station games. at least by then, i was feeling much better & a bit more enthu cos the cheers that we learnt were REALLY FUN. one's my msn nick now, cos the other one's a bit long for me to put up... so anyway, it was quite ok. did loads of alleged bonding. but not really, cos like, beiyi & i were slacking loads. the grossest part was the "sit on each other's lap" game [desiree's station for odyssey]. y'know, we're like practically feeling alien to each other, then you gots to do something as icky as that. WAY EW. at least i was in between 2 girls, SO YUP-hurh.
something something & we had to do mass dance. i was hoping we didnt have to pair up with guys (note: since young, i've been in a girl's school-exclude kindergarten-so i'm not too big about guys in the same class/school/etc as me~that's just me, ok). BUT, i really must say, i'm glad that my "dance partner"[Kai] was a really nice guy. we were like, laughing the whole way thru randomly doing steps here and there with his occasional "you lousy lah" and my occasional "i feel like the biggest dance idiot in the world". i mean, so much for being a dancer, huh? but it was quite nice, the song and the dance. but too complicated to accomplish in one day.
that was the first day ^ now for the second day:
our tribe, DoogaShaka, came out tops for the first day, which is really cool & amazing, i must say. we then had the amazing race. it was really, really crazy. running in the sun etc. the first statin was saddo. cant believe we had to start off with that station. im sure everyone know ths hula hoop game, where everyone links hands and passes the hoop around. this was different. for a start, we had to do this public [block 101 or something]. instead of a hoop, we used a rope. which i guess is slightly easier, cos it can be "adjusted" to fit us. but here's the worst part:
instead of linking hands side be side, we had to link it- THROUGH OUR LEGS. which is SO-O-O wrong. looks wrong, feels wrong. but we managed to do it. the rope got a wee bit stuck on my ponytail, but overall was ok for the rest of us.
there was a bonus task, which was finding pictures of people with different things. and 39 other stations. however, we only completed 9. so i shant drag on about the other stations, cos then this post'll be so boring & drab to read. plus, i cant remember all the stations. what i remember is, hating the sun. cos of the suspected you-know-what, i cant stay in the sun. THANK GOODNESS FOR SUNBLOCK. cos all i got i think, was a bit of a suntan.
we did some brainstorming for our OG performance. beiyi & i were all up for a tribal dance, but yeah, in the end the group came up with a stomp-singing-full monty* thing. i obviously joined stomp, cos i think i did enough singing during the holidays. next up was mass dance, but thursday was much better. we had more fun. we danced to Don't feel like dancing, speedy & S Club. really really fun stuff! but i felt retarded in my ill-fitting pinafore.
so more about the dancing! don't feel like dancing & speedy are real disco songs. lotsa boogieing (yes, i have given up all sense of spelling & if im not sure about the spelling of a word next time, im putting it in a dull blue colour) & stuff, really up my street for "fun-dances". which is next to hip-hop & contemporary. S Club is fun as well, a wee bit more complicated steps, but still really cool! plus, the song is really nice to sing & dance to!
after dancing, we were distributed "O-packs" as they're called. we got a file, t-shirt, note book & shoebag! liked the shoebag, cos i've been wanting one & i have not had the time to hunt for one. and we went home after that. (the tiem i reached home for the) first day was 6-ish. second day is 7-ish. now for friday:
so we started off the day with an important talk by the DM. quite an interesting powerpoint, which was interactive & informative. then we took some OG photos. and then more station games. but this time it was team against team. not individual tasks for each team.
my fave was our 2nd station. the "pick up the cups" one. at first beiyi & i were drifting around wondering how to help. in the end, we joined some of the girls & helped to pick up 4 cups! ok, background info: cups are positioned around the basketball court. we are to stand on the border of the court & try to get the cups on the inside. so i helped with the leaning. as in i was one of the ones to lean in & get the cups. what i was afriad of, was them dropping me & us having to re-pick up the cups.
so we had lunch & then practised for our performance. and then more mass dancing. we danced to Let's Get Retarded. really cool, but we were all very exhausted & learning the dance took out a lot from us. after that, was our audition & i went really well! hurray for us! we got in, but we decided to join up with another OG. initially, i was against the idea, but afterwards, it turned out ok.
after all that, we had a crane-folding session! i quote: "Cranes to Grains Project". whereby every crane we fold, gives a bowl of rice to the needy. it was cool to learn how to make cranes & yet help others! i folded 2, since im like a beginner. after that, is the really exciting part. we had a briefing for.... mass dance at...... SUNTEC! so cool, huh? yet really freakyy.
so we had dinner and headed over to suntec. so at first, they were doing the laser show, or whatever it's called. then we started dancing. we started with S Club, i think. then we did the couple dancing (which is called Doom) which was really crazy cos kai & i didnt remember many steps, let's get retarded & speedy. then we got a break. during the break, we formed a circle & ran aroudn the fountain. DISASTER STRUCK-it started raining, but we continued running. HOWEVER, the rain didnt subside but got worse, so they rounded us up & we made our way down to shelter as quickly as possible.
it was pretty disorganised, cos i dont think the OGLs hadnt really expected rain, i guess. but anyway, we waited around a bit for our valuables, then made our way home. beiyi's dad brought me home, cos my dad was busy. yupp, reached home around 9.15ish.
i have absolutely no time to write down saturday now, as my tuition teacher is coming. [i mean, seriously, we havent started chinese yet] but i shall try for tomorrow. hehe. but if i dont, well, sigh. more soon then! loooooves~
*my mum says that the Full Monty is this stripper thing. like, um, the poorer guys in London last time would do that to get more cash. the guys in our group OBVIUOSLY didnt strip, but it was really hilarious. ESPECIALLY the finishing move. *laugh laugh laugh*
