Cuz When A Girl Cries
Her Tears Never Lie
Maybe She Wants You Outta Her Life
Or Maybe She Hides
What She Feels Inside
It Hurts So Bad She Feels Like She Could Die
Why When A Girl Cries
If Theres A Smile
Maybe She Wants You To Stay In Her Life
Cuz When A Girl Cries
You Must Decide Are You Really Treating Her Right?
O When A Girl Cries

hmm this time what does it tell...

Yesterday after church Theresa and I went to help out Amaze at *scape!

FYI, its an outdoor art installation initiative by scape and High 5 in collaboration with YOG =). The installation allows people to paint on both sides of large acrylic panels and in the end the panels will morph into a constantly shifting maze. Instead of supervising the installation and watching people paint at the installation, we had to go to Orchard Rd to get passerbys to paint on panels. So we stood outside Mandarin gallery and started painting by ourselves to attract the crowd. Lots of curious audience who stared at us. But very few who actually painted. The whole idea of community art.

Even though there were few people who helped us in painting the white panels, we ended up painting 2 panels in only red, blue and yellow acrylic paint. It was a cool experience since it was the first time I painted with acrylic paint (after coursework last year) with really limited colours... and the only time i get to paint on the streets of orchard in front of everybody. It was fun =D.

Go visit Amaze at *scape if you're near cineleisure. =)

BACK AGAIN!

2009-05-24T14:11:00.000+08:00

I can't believe its all over...considering the uncountable hours of effort put in and all, it's been such a great experience of ups and downs, disappointment and inspirations.
Couldn't concentrate during lessons on thurs and fri at all...michelle huifang and i just started dancing at the back of the PW class in front of Mdm Chen....we must have been really excited!! and fac comm intro on fri was quite fun too, even though there were quite a few hiccups here and there...realli sad that mabel and i cant go for the camp. argh. i think the busy-ness has only just started now that Dance night is over...it's gonna be full-fledged AYG!!
can't wait to get the DVD =] so gonna learn Kiss Me Thru the Phone and all the realli nice and inspiring dances! and we havent watched the full bboy item before.
the matinee show was unexpectedly good, there were so many parents and kids in the audience, so they were quite dead...evening show was of course the best!!! we had so much fun camwhoring after the performance, playing with the visualiser and all. and after debrief we ran barefooted all the way to the canteen to give Aileen her board.

thanks friends for all the flowers and chocs =] it's really been a memorable experience and can't wait for dance night to be BACK AGAIN next year =] !!

Mixed bag

2009-05-17T18:49:00.001+08:00

I'm not supposed to be slacking...there's math, french, GPP, DANCE NITE, CSM awaiting me this coming week. it's going to be one CRAZY week. je deviendra folle! But I'm actually really excited...esp. for DANCE NITE!!! it suddenly hit me that its only one week ahead. though it feels quite far away as there's still freaky french controle on tues and thurs, which i really want to get over and done with...

This week was crazy too, and there has been so much going on since i last blogged i sort of have no idea how to start...
tuesday's break was spent talking bout random stuffs like michelle's cousin's wedding and caitong's sister. loads of oh-ba-sang talk too =] and rushed back from french for fac comm interview. i've never been realli very scared of interviews but i just cant help shaking and stuttering at times....it was quite interesting to go in with 4 other interviewees. and couldnt help but giggle occasionally. then had piano lesson at night and it was really quite tranquil to walk alone in a quiet estate at night.

cant rmb what happened on wed and thurs! had a bio tutorial with mrs foo sitting right behind michelle and i...sort of freaky cos we couldnt talk. and thurs night was stressed night cos there was GPP to rush and GP to study for after dance prac. and costume to sew too! i realli feel thankful tt mummy can sew...i should start learning some home econs skills i realized i cant cook cant sew cant do housework ahahaha.

friday was an emotional day.
i dunno how to blog bout it.
_______________________________________
ares fac comm was immediately sent to do sai gang at parents meet teachers day.
saw ziyan's mum! and auntie wee lee!
and found it challenging to communicate fluently in chinese to some parents.
and was flustered when some parents didnt even know which teachers they would like to meet.
it was quite an experience. after that mabel left, so luk wern jiale yingci and i went to coro to get some snacks for the mini celebratn at night. met joleen and cheng siang there ahahahaha.

discussed bout csm and i was highly amused by the random ideas that were poured out...it seems like there's no such thing as exaggerated and impossible! andrea and warren treated us to pizza =] and ate honey stars and chips too while discussing.

saturday was full run at audi then at salt! got to see the many items, i soooo love all the hip hop items!! esp. the J2 hiphops. super entertaining and i laughed till i nearly cried. the choreo is really impressive. we had wardrobe malfunction during our item and it was quite horrific. however, the performance at the salt run was salvaged....i can really feel the vibe of dance night now! can't wait can't wait! tried to mug but to no avail because there was a cipher and then the bboys started doing all the gravity-defying stunts and all. michelle joined xixian trix and i in chatting, and then shortly after we had a debrief after we did the finale.

i can't wait for friday! then math and french would be over....

i still believe in me

2009-05-16T22:57:00.000+08:00

A really beautiful and applicable song that I danced to in Sec 1.

I thought i had it this time
I thought the dream would be mine
hoping to fly I thought
oh how I wished
I just didnt care at all
coz when you dont care
you dont cry
it wont hurt if you dont try

but i still believe in all of my dreams
And all that i can be
I'll learn from mistakes
do all that it takes
to make it eventually
coz i still believe in me

I'll find an unbreakable heart
to help me get through this far
and i swear ill never rest
till i am standing up there with the very best
no one knows no heart
that wont break
and some times its a heartache

but i still believe in all of my dreams
And all that i can be
I'll learn from mistakes
do all that it takes
to make it eventually
coz i still believe in me
yes i still believe in me

2009-05-15T23:03:00.000+08:00

non-identical, yet identical.
i wish i will not pale in comparison.
i wish i will not fade into the background.
laughs. i should not be so infantile.

what's wrong with me.
i thought i'd be never alone.
i tell myself that it doesn't hurt. but it does.
does it take someone else in the same boat to understand?
i know, i ought to get over it.
i wish i could.
but that's easier said than done.

now i need to slum back into reality.
gpp. its supposedly due in 34 minutes.

Family Day :D

"He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones." - Proverbs 2:7-8

Continued learning bout the book of Proverbs during Church and after sunday school we gathered to pray for Chris cos it was his bdae on sat. (Same bdae as Papa!) And during refreshments we started talking bout PW and playing with babies as usual =]

Then went home and spent the whole afternn designing the poster for fac comm interview. Papa walked past and said 为什么你还有art啊？Then I explained bout fac comm and running for publicity IC and all, and he was really understanding and encouraging =]

I realized I've been playing a lot of piano, I play on average an hour per day now, and this is really a lot as compared to the amount of time spent in practising for my diploma exam last time >< I guess I really enjoy playing pieces freely and free from the burden of examinations! Not forgetting my inspiring classmates too...Ros Kim Yung Michelle....09S74 is quite an artistic class I reckon! We've got AEPers, MUSICians, BANDpeeps, 5 dancers, and pple who love to dance like CT and MelWee! COOL.

Having observed the trend of me playing piano more enthusiastically for quite some time, Papa asked me this morning why I have been playing piano nearly daily. And I just replied ahaha its fun and stress-relieving, which is true! But somehow mummy blamed my playing for causing her to have headaches -.- esp. since I play Polonaises and Beethoven and Brahms which have varied dynamics, sudden changes of forte and piano and loads of expression and not forgetting loads of mistakes when I bang notes. Ok I have to admit it must have been quite a trauma for her to suddenly wake up from her sleep thanks to my Polonaise. :( So I'm determined to learn a few more nocturnes and soothing songs...

Then after dinner Trix and I practised si shou lian tan for fun. and its real fun. then mummy complained that this song was really really noisy.

Today is an ultimate slacker day. not slack in terms of work, but in terms of physical activity. i spent most of the day at my table in front of the computer feeling like a swivelchair potato. Terry Trix and I wanted to go downstairs for lunch but mummy insisted she wanted to stay home cos of her headache and in the end I nvr left the house today. I need a breath of fresh outdoor air! So Papa da-baoed food home and we had Char Kuay, Hokkien Mee and Char Kuay Teow. Oily fatty Singaporean lunch :D bloated and satisfied. I realized its really rare to have lunch tgt as a family on weekdays! And i still love the feeling of eating tgt even though quarrels are inevitable at the dining table. And amazingly Papa did the dishes today :D I was still doubting his ability to wash the dishes. Then before i knew it it was time for a snack and all of us wif the exceptn of mummy clamoured to the kitchen for ice-cream. family days are days of unleashing the glutton within us.

So its time to gear up for the week ahead!
Dance night in 11 days!! I cant describe what I'm feeling...it changes every moment....

57!

2009-05-09T23:12:00.001+08:00

HAPPIE 57th BURFDAE PAPA :D

I really thank God for blessing our family with such a loving, faithful Dad. I pray that that in this year and the years ahead, God might bless you with good health, courage, the strength and the will to support the family, and I pray also that you might grow closer to God in your walk with him, and that you might motivate us to be faithful children of Christ too.

"Listen to your Father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old" - Proverbs 23:22

We celebrated with a steamboat dinner and mango cake =] Talking bout mango cakes, had one ytd to celebrate Jasmine, Chengxin and Kelly's bdae too. But the former is a cake with real fruits and the latter, a mango-flavoured sponge cake. Cakes are really yummy, esp. when we eat it as a group of friends or a family.

Had SALT run in the afternoon, and it was pretty tiring in the end. The debrief was kind of eye-opening. Many seniors took turns to give inspirational talks. and we learnt abt the full story of the concert. It's really creative, how each item is woven together to form a story bout school life.

Et j'ai ressenti encore de la tristesse et de la regrette quand j'ai vu la danse.

Saw the break item in the blackbox. Really cool. then we practised too, and emo-ed and emo-ed and emo-ed, swished hair and swished hair and swished hair. it was really funny how enrui motivated all of us to emo more. "BITCHES!" she screamed at the chorus and then of course we started to laugh, and after that Estelle said "Pls don't smile during the dance ok?" but I guess we couldn't help but laugh when Enrui screamed.

These 2 weeks will be braindraining muscle-draining hair-draining even though i'll be drowning in a pool of homework still undone. And there's the poster to design for fac comm interview, GPP, le controle 2 (ca me fait peur!!) and GP test and Math lecture test and Chem tut and sigh the list just goes on and on...

Je regrette peut-etre

2009-05-03T23:45:00.000+08:00

Had so much fun alternating between X Men III on channel 5 and shediaoyingxiongzhuan on channel u. So we got the best of the fighting bits on both shows. i realized its been a while since we squeezed on mum and dads bed to watch tv. mummy started to doze off towards the end as usual. then after that came back to the desk to do homework but got called back by papa to watch a magic show on TV. i never fail to be amazed by magic. how is magic possible?
all of us with the exception of mummy shared a little haagen daaz icecream (the oval one with the wafer) each one got a humongous bite. then slacked around b4 i actually started on my french redaction plan. thank you trixie for having done half of it (ok actually more than half of it) alr. And thank you trixie for doing more than half of the QA AA too. This leaves me to do the blogging ahahahaah. trixie is like sleeping alr. do more work than me still sleep earlier. i must have been doing loads of rubbish at the comp. gosh. all the distractions.

We're learning the book of Proverbs for Sunday School. And for worship too =] Thank God for helping me memorise the book of Ephesians. I thought it was impossible but it's possible after all =] Now it's time to keep revising it regularly cos it's so applicable to life, and it would serve as a constant reminder on how to be a good testimony for God daily =]
"Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another with love."
This verse is what I always keep in my heart.
"Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace"
"Be very careful - then- how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity..."
It's really amazing how the word of God serves as a daily reminder, and can be powerful in prayers =]

Counting the blessings for the past week...Labour Day was a great break. Fellowshiped with Leyi at church and learnt how to glorify God in our studies and learnt some wonderful verses that are applicable in our schoollife. Then Auntie Biqing fetched us, trix and i, with xiaohong and jiaming to ahma's house. It's been a long while since we went to ahma's house. And Ahma's curry is the best :D then Papa and uncle started debating bout the AWARE issue. it was like a real debate. i was like really confused? partly because there are so many parties involved and all. still auntie biqing, mummy, qimqim, ahma, xiaohong trix and i we went into ahma's room and started talking bout stuff. bout church stuff, and then saw Ahma's photo when she was like 17, and did a prayer. Thank God for days like that, and for the wonderful family he has blessed us with =]

Saturday was SALT run. and bio lecture in the morning. bio lecture was soooo amusing. Mrs Sim is really lame but nevertheless, she caught our attention. she made this guy who was late and in t-shirt and shorts catwalk on stage back and forth to show off his sexy legs. supperr funneee. the latecomers throughout the lectures were amusing as well.

Then us modern-ers took super long in the toilet at SALT to change and get ready for dance. And the stress began mounting up for the senior self-choreo dance. We had extra prac beyong 11am and only had 15 mins to rush to poolside to eat. that was like the down moment of my day. et j'etais assez triste et decu c'etait toutes sortes d'emotions que j'ai ressenti pendant cette demi-heure. rushed back late, of course, for the briefing at 1pm. then we prac-ed and prac-ed until the showcase of our item. Everything was shaping up i think and i guess with ultra hard prac it would turn out great =] i love the pas de deux part esp! after our item we went to the holding room to slack and ended up talking and reading random stuffs. then huifang michelle xixian trix and i went out of the room to prac. a dance exchange literally. i was doing baby freeze huifang all sorts of imba stunts that made a bboy go dope dope. we forced michelle up a hand stand. and xixian and trix were practising shoulder freeze. it was really fun.

Right now im really stressed for the dance assessment 2mr. i hope it's going to be fine.

Vois sur ton chemin

2009-04-30T23:04:00.000+08:00

Today's timetable ran on that of Friday, so it felt like it's Friday throughout the day, until trix and I couldnt attend CT session cos of 3rd lang. and it turns out that it was fac comm elections, must have been quite a sight! bio lecture was rather amusing cos Mrs Sim was the lecturer, her lame jokes and my toesies and random comments were actually rather delightful. at least it caught our attention and helped keep us awake. funny thing was when our class cooperated to not raise our hands when she asked which classes only got bio notes in the morning. gee and Edwin got called to answer pre-lecture test ans. and liang jiahua entered late and was clever enough to narrowly escape being punished by plonking himself on the cornermost seat. ahahaha. GP was gruelling and torturous. firstly because of the brain-grilling AQ test and secondly due to the freezing temperature which Ms Kim insisted was just fine and even hot. gosh it left trix and i shivering, I've learnt not to sit at the back row in A315. Went to high sch to eat with rachel yisheng huifang and CFC. and Trixie and I heard "River flowing into you" on the high sch piano while walking back. And we were in for more inspiring music in the evening. Guan lao shi let us watch Les Choristes during church choir prac! The songs still melt my heart even though it's the third or fourth time I'm watching the movie.

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne-leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire

Street Jazz

2009-04-27T23:09:00.000+08:00

Yay Trix and I both got into street jazz :D And Laura Lee's going to drag me to balloon sculpting for day 2 though I prefered balloon decor cos we can make this huge standing giraffe and bigger stuff ahahaha.
I'm bout to be driven nuts by french homework, especially the comprehension orale which i played more than 10 times to get the answers, pausing after chaque mot. oh goodness.
Huang Cheng was really impressive! I like all 3 plays, though the bah chor mee one was a little draggy but i thot the concept was gd, really touching. the first was really melodramatic and filled with suspense and loads of humour too! the 3rd was rather confusing at first, but i thot the stage effects were really stunning, and oh my the props were so awesome. those HDB flats looked real. it took a few moments to realize they were just props.
So 10 pple from our class turned up =] and 7 of us had dinner tgt at Burger King's at Raffles Place. amazingly yongquan found his way from the Singapore Flyer.
reached home and slept like pig.
this morning's chem was rather diff. that redox qn. at least better than bio.
Holy was a really amusing invigilator. No talking! No playing of hair! You keep your hands and ur eyes to urself! And she started laughing too. It was really farnee. Then PE was real slack we played a lil bit of netball b4 proceeding to the hall to cheer our classmates who were taking NAPFA 5 items on. Then ended up jumping to reach the pull-up bar, doing jetes across the SBJ mat doing failure freezes on the sit up mat, and playing the piano. Pull-ups are really muscle-tearing.

quoi quoi quoi

2009-04-25T22:40:00.000+08:00

Presque toute la classe disent quoi merde ou n'importe quoi ou quelques mots par-ci par-la qu'ils connaissent et c'est tres tres amusant, si amusant que Trixie et moi avons ri beaucoup hier.
C'est un weekend tres occupe pour nous...vendredi etait occupe comme d'habitude...nous avons eu un math tutorial apres un math lecture et c'etait fatiguant. je pense que nous avons fait beaucoup de bruit, mais mr loo etait tolerant apres tout. et les hommes sauvages, comme d'habitude, ont chuchote entre eux. Des secrets embetant.
Nous avons dejeune a high school, et il n'y avait que sept personnes qui ont mange ensemble bien qu'il etait la seule pause ou notre classe entiere pouvait manger ensemble. Tout le monde a voulu finir des devoirs.
Il faut que je revise la chemie maintenant. C'est deja 10h 48, et je n'ai aucune motivation -- mes paupieres ferment un moment a l'autre. Je suis trop paresseuse a traduire ce texte en anglais -- desolees chers amis. N'utilisez pas Google Translation s'il vous plait, c'est nul. Please do not use Google Translation.

La Riviere Coule

2009-04-22T22:13:00.000+08:00

'River flowing into you' is my new fave song =]
Nowadays i just play the piano for a really long time once i get home. Music provides a temporary escape from reality. It soothes the soul. It calms the mind.
It's gonna be a really hectic weekend that I'm gearing up for....and I need sleep. Thank God I've been able to feel rather energized throughout lessons so far this week.
I did a jazz split out of the door on tuesday morning thanks to the slippery lift lobby and slippery socks and me rushing out of the door. totally cracked my knee and leg and served as a morning shock I stayed awake the whole day. Papa was really shocked too and trixie was hiding her laughter. must have looked real awkward with bagpack and file and leg sprawled on floor. after that we just laughed all the way to the car ahahahaha. amusing mornings are gd to start the day!
everybody was stresssed bout PI on tuesday. and there's GPP coming up. dun wanna think of it!
then bio lecture sounded like tamil. and french was gruelling as usual but i thot it was rather fun. the new topic isnt that bad after all. but it was certainly not fun when Mlle Fournier spent half and hour reprimanding us on not doing our hw seriously. scoldings in french are rather cool actualli...the accent, the articulation, really diff!
Trix and I didn't get the LES :( im really devastated but I'm sure it's all in God's hands and it's his will. spent the whole of bio prac emo-ing though. when we got the letter of rejection.
bio lab was sticky. those solutions Z1 Z5 Y1 in vials. the colours were quite pretty though, what a sight. this morning's council presidential elections Q&A was hmmm just like any other Q&A. i thot the qn in chinese was really gd. the rest, cliched. and of course, it failed to capture our attention. so we were left with a one-hour break during which we had GP consultation. and ms kim was rather sarcarstic t/o i guess. quite harsh of her.
after bio lab trix and i chiong-ed to canteen for lunch cos we thot dance would start at 2.30 but no, it was postponed to 3 so we all stoned at classbench. then the RUA was not open so us modern-ers stoned at the stage for approx. half an hour. by then i was tired from waiting. all let down our hair for the emo effect. emo + sweaty effect, in fact. felt like a monster when i danced ahahaha. but the hair does help loads in creating emo effects. after dance xi xian mabel nicole larrie trix and i studied tgt at larrie's class bench for a while before leaving sch. i dunno it just felt warm =] i <3 our NYMD batch! and batchmates for MAD are awesome too =]

All things Bright and Beautiful

2009-04-20T23:11:00.000+08:00

Thank God the day's over, three tests conquered! though only one winning battle ensured -- Napfa test! :D broad jump sucked big time but the rest were okay. seeing guys doing standing broad jump are like watching live springs. leap frogs.
Bio and Chem were horrible. felt brain-fried after bio. and chem was like bleaugh. i think it's the hardest quiz so far....and 2-hour tutorial was really rather boring as usual. but Liang Jia Hua's occasional laughter from the back kept me awake ahahaha. it's really amusing! And once again, evident bias towards guys. Mrs Ho was so sweet and cheery throughout though she was supposed to be angry with cheng siang not doing his tutorial. Apparently her anger lasted for a split second. c'est tout.
went home early with trix today, yay :D then we spent an hour slacking/ eating/ playing piano and trix played the hymn we're supposed to sing at the wedding this saturday. and i broke out into song for nearly 30 minutes just singing all the past choir songs =]

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small.
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens
Each little bird that sings
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings.

The purple headed mountain
The river running by.
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden
He made them everyone.

He gave us eyes to see them
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty
Who has made all things well.

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
The Lord God made them all.

2009-04-19T18:38:00.000+08:00

It's been quite a while since I've blogged and gee, time does fly. Bio test is 2mr! Napfa test too, and chem class test too! I really ought to be studying right now, but who doesn't need a break? :D Ares outing was quite a bore, with the exception of a few bits of it. Food wasn't very good, but still OK. the cutlery they provided was amazing though, it's really durable! The whole event was really zzz. rather boring and sian....and it was really hot everyone was sweating and stinking up the mats. the only source of entertainment most of the time was that big ball to play with and seeing high school boys displaying their violence. the pooh was quite cute too, i pity pooh though he must be sweating profusely inside. saw a few fac comm members fanning him, haha. few pple turned up in pjs. but it would be realli cute if everyone did ahahaha. I think Mabel danced really well, it was sooooo energetic she totally stole the limelight :D Yay she deserved to win fac babe! Nicole's item was good too =] Preston's singing is incredible. And Chew Fei's too! Chew Fei and her partner sang really really well, they coordinated so harmoniously! And Ros, our S74 fac babe!! heard that the prize for ares fac babe and hunk isn't as attractive as that of apollo's! some sort of minnie mouse toy and movie tickets, heard apollo's got topshop voucher!

'Bleeding Love' is sort of stuck in my head now, the original version of course, not the erhemm bimbo version. I guess most pple were taken aback by well, the bimbotic-ness of some pple. so fac outing ended up with mum calling to hurry me home and leaving my file in school :( THANKS HUIFANG for kindly helping me keep in and bring it to SALT the next day. I really appreciate it loads =]

Dance on saturday was enjoyable, the standard warm-ups and all and watching Mr. Dan's item. It's really beautiful, the formations and all and oh goodness it's really technical. I'm really inspired to train harder. A tailor came to take measurements for AYG costume, then Mr Dan left and seniors started doing hiphop and break! I really want to learn hiphop, I think I'll bai MelWee aka Pixie wei shifu for the moment :D

Rest was a long boring saturday of cell membranes and phospholipids and alpha-helices and blah blah blah.

Stalemate

2009-04-15T21:00:00.000+08:00

How I wish I could sneak to UCC to see our juniors' SYF! I heard they did 10x better than they did on Monday =D And we went back on monday with a card and oreos for them! It seems like they have braced themselves together really well throughout this four months of adapatation to a new style, and voila, the end result is apparent -- they have really bonded a lot and improved by leaps and bounds!

Tuesday was slack again, plus PW to stone. And we havent gotten our groupings yet...we're still kept in suspense. French lesson was a little hair-raising at the start, considering that I had to do a small speech. But a class of 6 pple is really encouraging =] And they seemed to understand what i was talking bout, so phews! But I'm still really distressed bout how to write a gd redaction and a resume.

We saw time ticking pass slowly this morning. The 2-hour morning break was like merde. did some bio, talked to sammie and witnessed the drama of her incredible drawing unfold in front of my eyes, then ate baked potato as usual. CTG went to camp at library again and Michelle has got swollen eyes (like pig she claims) so she didnt come to sch again. I think I finally experienced real boredom. Hopefully the 2-hour break 2mr will be better. plus there was no math tut today so I killed time by eating another full meal ahahaha. Had bio for 3 hours straight. 2 hours lab then 1 hour make-up tut with Trixie, Xin Yan, Chinkiat, Cheng Siang and Yongquan. more than half the tut was spent copying the model answers, my hand hurt like merde. then rushed for CCA at PE studio...we learnt more of the dance, i think it'll turn out wonderful with more cleaning up =]

Hosanna to the king!

2009-04-11T23:02:00.000+08:00

"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them" John 17:25-26

I thank God for the Good Friday service yesterday and for bringing Rachel for the service :) Although it was the second time listening to the recital, I still learnt a lot from it. And pondering on the words of the hymns we sang, When I survey the wondrous cross and Beneath the cross of Jesus, really reminded me of the suffering of Christ and God's love for us.

Despite it being a public holiday, we still had dance on friday. Thank God the timing was changed to the morning =] We learnt the seniors' self-choreo and it was awesome!! I love the dance and goodness it's time to practise real hard....

This morning's dance was half and hour of warm ups at SALT's foyer and lecture in a small room with NJ. We couldnt use the dance studio due to some communication error, it was claimed. Apparently Chinese Dance is supposed to have the studio for the whole month. And the worst was that it was supposed to be a combined prac with NJ! So we ended up not dancing cos the floor was too hard and rough :( Mr. Dan's lecture was, well, like any other lecture ahahaha. The stick figures of positions were really amusing. those feet positions especially, they're really memorable =] We saw Chinese Dance's SYF too! Their flexibility is stunning!! And I think the concept and formations and props are really creative =] Havent seen Yi Yi dance in a long time and oh my, the inspiration is there again.

I dunno why but I was looking forward to piano lesson so much, prob. needed a break from terrible enzyme tutorial. And I'm learning Polonaise in B-flat minor =] swoons, it's such a fantastic piece. Mrs Lin is sick >< after the concert. but she sounded quite satisfied at our playing =] and even rewarded us with an eraser haha =] how sweet! Then the usual craving for food overwhelmed me when I reached home. choc chip cookies then dinner then Ben n Jerry's Cake Batter ice-cream and now more cookies and pringles. oh goodness.

And I'm in total denial of 2.4 on monday. No it'll never come.

2009-04-08T22:04:00.000+08:00

Today was slack morning day! But CTG tgt with ohbasang and melwee disappeared to the library and trix and ros and I being too lazy stayed at the class bench. moreover, there's space and nobody else in the wing so the environment was as conducive as the library, or mayb even more conducive! mugged wif Ros, Fabian, Chinkiat, Cheng Siang and Edwin. 2 hours pass really fast. then went to the fishtank to get baked potato and started talking bout x-men and some other crap. math quiz was ok but it was brain-draining, esp. sitting next to Jomain who was so fast haha. bio was alrite, but not that interesting. I'm really surprised the dept. actually spoon-feeds all of us with whole tables of experimental errors, limitations, etc. So those qns should be alrite to tackle, unlike in Nanyang where everyone just anyhow do the last qn in practical.

Then after sch we had mini CT lunch and we got to eat lunch with trip sci peeps :D muslim food uncle was really grumpy and he gave me this sian look when I asked for more curry. Sudden cravings for oreo led Trix and I to return to the canteen after lunch and we waited very long for the guitar ensemble to start performing but too bad, they took too long to set up we were too lazy to wait. This ends a typical wednesday at sch.

Mon and Tues were more eventful :D
It started with PE and we ran 4 rounds. 9.5 min :D Quite a feat eh? Considering that was my P4 timing ahahaha then it went to 10++ min in P6. We strolled back to netball court all exhausted. Then trix was referee and it was highly amusing when Mr Michael Wong taught her how to referee..."Girl, this is what?" "eh...running wif ball, moving with ball?" "No larh, stepping stepping!" "Aiyoh why they get 2 short girls to defend?" "Mr Wong, the guys oso not very tall what" which is true. Ros and Ziyan did a really gd job jumping to defend the ball ahahaha but still, songyu was far too gd. And there was ching chong who could jump three feet high like a leap frog. Yi Sheng was very gd at shooting too :D but oh no next week's gonna be NAPFA test and im so not looking forward. pull ups are torturous when everyone's peering over you and cheering you on and you just feel so helpless like a patient stuck on a the reclining seat at the dentist with so many nurses peering at you. :S

Then we had chem lecture where a few council nominees were asked to answer qns bout molecular shapes. which reminds me i've got chem to mug for 2mr. Double chem tut period turned out unexpectedly erm gd. at least i tried to keep awake and survived not bursting into laughter when mrs ho went on with her scolding. i can safely conclude now qu'elle n'aime pas les filles! Then we went back to Nanyang with Nicole Cheryl Hillary yunyi Larissa Ann to see the juniors' SYF audi prac! Their uniform hairstyle of short hair and bangs worked really well, and the item was really impactful and impressive. woots! mindblowing!!! We're really proud of NYMD, you guys have matured so much and we can see that u all are bonding tgt. It's the feel that u all have survived sth that we all thot would take very long to overcome...and we were saying how you guys are actually better than us now, in terms of technique and all, which is a gd thing :D The item really makes me wanna get short hair and bangs too but lol cant really imagine myself with that hairstyle. I can imagine Trix though! SHe'll actually look quite cute i guess ahahaha

Tuesday was council elections day and we missed 6 periods of lesson so we only had half an hour of PW and bio lecture. Council elections was rather eye-opening. We witnessed who got many personal attacks and the serious scenario wacky questions really revealed some candidates' personalities. TOOT was good :D i thot some qns were really gd to elaborate on, esp. the ants nest and beehive qn. and the song tt represents you qn. TEH was like -.- Je ne peux pas les supporter. I sort of miss free food now. And my stress ball's missing, oh wells, mayb it got burst by those peeps playing at our class bench tt day -.- French lesson was actually fun :D Learning abt the environment -- greenhouse effect, etc. in french is quite interesting haha it's like taking geog lessons all over again. I love Mlle Fournier! She's like the best teacher, the most serious, passionate and strict teacher I've ever encountered in like 10 years of sch life. but homework can get really stressful. and she can get really scary.

Minstrels

2009-04-05T18:49:00.000+08:00

Piano concert is over finally. Phews. Thank God there weren't many major boo-boos in our pieces...except that there were actually quite a few minor errors in my second piece. But since "Prelude - Minstrels" itself is a contemporary piece with tonnes of dissonances, I guess the audience could not really sense many flaws hehes. Duet was awesome, though there were abt 2 hiccups but I thought we did great, yay Shihui! :D My first ever duet partner other than trixie ahaha :D

As usual, the finale was by Matthew Ge. He played a really lovely impressionistic piece entitled 'Jeux D'eau' by Ravel =] It was highly amusing when some guy went on stage to give him a pineapple and 2 little girls presented him with bouquets. In addition, he was asked to encore and he really did!

My fave piece was Tchaikovsky's 'Season in June', I'm so going to learn it! Now that the concert is over, I guess I'll never touch my 2 concert pieces in time to come, cos I've been playing it for like nearly a year....since it was my diploma piece and it brings back bad memories :(
But I would really still like to practise some of my old pieces that I actually have not played for a long long while:
- Arabesque by Debussy
- Intermezzo in B by Brahms
- Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin
- Song without words by Mendelssohn

Thank God Trix and I are feeling much better now =] 2 days in sch w/o Trixie was ok afterall ahaha, since i got a new twin MelWee aka. Pixie ahahaha. Thanks to Ms Kim who failed to realize Trixie's absence and assigned me a new twin unknowingly. Hung out most of the time with CTG and the rest outside fishtank during our 3-hour break after council campaigning. It turned out super sian. MelWee and Michelle started singing fish leong songs. And many pple came around distributing gimmicks. Red Noses, I love Ares badges, not forgetting tonnes of food at the class bench and those memorable yellow balloons bobbing up and down during bio lecture.

Council campaigning was quite a bore. sitting in the hall was not fun at all. I liked TOOT's and TEH's video =] plus it was really amusing to see e fac heads dance mass dance tgt :D Guess they stole the limelight!! We've been spoilt with free food and free packet drinks (thanks Apollo) for the past few days. Looking forward to what's in store for the next few days ahaha :D

Not forgetting happy burfdae Cheryl Seah fellow frenchie! May the year ahead be wonderful and stay blur =D

sick.

2009-04-02T16:47:00.000+08:00

I'm feeling sick .very sick -_-.
I was totally fine the previous day...and then i woke up felling so super hot and drained....
Was preparing to go to school until I took my temperature (38.68 degrees) and I decided to go back to sleep.
Theresa recovered so fast within a night....and now I'm like stuck at home....
Went to see a doctor at 9am and my temp. rose to 39.1 v. quickly. Felt my muscles sore all over and I really didn't feel like walking at all. Bad headache, fever, dry throat and feeling like puking... bleagh. That's why I slept through the day till 12nn and then continued sleeping from one till now. Now I understand why being sick is not all about staying home and mugging and relaxing. You practically have no strength to do anything....not to say use your brain.
The good news is I have 2 days of MC =). So even if I continue sleeping till tmr I won't die not studying for bio and chem test =). yay.
Just slightly sad I missed a slack day at school. and wasted all my time sleeping like a pig....
Now my fever is not too high but I hate the feeling of a bloated stomach and a throbbing headache.
Ppl in school: make sure you all stay well...I think there's some kind of evil virus hanging out at our class bench.

2009-04-01T19:21:00.000+08:00

The only lessons we had today were half of chem lecture and half of bio lab due to the LES interview. It is actually my first interview since the one for sec 3 french immersion.
This time, it is much longer and scarier. The questions in french were basic yet I had difficulty expressing myself clearly...since I didn't have much time to think. Some of the tougher questions were in English, and it was clear that they attacked what I wrote in my personal statement:
What do you appreciate about France's open society?
So what are some major French companies in Singapore? (i stoned at this one)
I already know that France is technologically advanced. In what way is Singapore equally good?
What do you know about Singapore's politics? The reshuffling of the cabinet? (phew. I heard it on radio)
In what way can you contribute to Singapore and set her future direction after your studies in France? (oh my. this was in french. forgot how i answered it)
Yup. so it went on and on and I took nearly 20 minutes. It was scary at first during the French part of the interview...but I felt more relaxed after a while....
Anyway, todays 401's bday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 401!!!!!<3

Theresa's having a fever now. She blames her splitting headache on the microscope. Yeah I understand. After starring into the microscope for so long everything else looks so BIG. But thank God she started feeling unwell only after the interview. Get well soon.

Barts n Dalls

2009-03-29T22:04:00.000+08:00

This weekend has been a whirlwind of activities for me and I seriously need to sleep early to gear up for tiring mondays with PE and Dance. Furthermore, there's bio practical make-up 2mr >< We had OG BBQ on friday night and boy it was really fun in the end. We spent nearly 3 hours starting the fire that never started until 8pm. goodness gracious. ended up microwaving the sausages and otah in my house. the food was really gd, esp. the wings from BBQwholesalecentre! Found out kok seng's classmate lived in The Tessarina too! He went to kope a guitar from him and started singing and playing. Most of us - Val/ Cai/ Elysia sat around to chat and it was not till bout 8.30 that we started eating cos val, elysia and I went all the way to BTP to buy more firestarters. It was hmmm quite a successful bbq afterall -- thanks to yiyan and jasmine who organized the stuff too =]
Then woke up even earlier than normal sch day on sat to go for fac CIP. Our stall was the only games stall and many hc boys ended up throwing the darts and balls for fun. We had a deficit of approx. $50, but I thought we did reasonably well, given the fact that there were really few pple...One guy walked away with the cute tigger. but we still managed to play with the eeyore =] after the CIP we walked over to Mr. Prata and trix and I shared a french and ice cream prata =] That made my day!
Went for piano concert rehearsal after church choir prac. I was so dead tired I felt like sleeping while playing my piece so it ended up really screwed i repeated like 6 bars and that was a hair-raising experience. My hands were shaking during the first movement of the duet with Shihui too after we screwed up the first 2 bars. OK there's still one week to practise hard. All the students were really pro...esp. Lucy's lil bro!! He's like a prodigy =]
Today was a long day as well...Today was a special Sacred Music Servie at church, so the choir sang many hymns, and I personally thought we did really well for 'A Living Sacrifice'. I really love the song.

What shall I bring to the Lord
What shall I offer him?
Shall I come to him now with burnt offerings,
In Atonement for my sin.
Shall I bring my treasures to lay at his feet,
Shall I offer them up in the flame.
What sacrifice will please the Lord
And bring glory to his name.

He has shown you, oh man, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you.
But to act justly, to love, mercy and to walk humbly,
Walk humbly with your God.

la Francophonie

2009-03-24T19:59:00.000+08:00

Today's french lesson was extraordinary. We arrived, Jie Ying, Caleb, Wencen, Trixie and I, at MOELC to expect the worst during our french lessons as we were supposed to get back the controle paper. However, it was Francophonie Day -- Journee Internationale de la Francophonie, a day where everyone speaking french gets together to celebrate. So there were booths set up to introduce the culture of french-speaking countries such as Belgium, Switzerland, Vietnam, etc. and the Egyptian and Belgium booths had plenty of food awaiting us =]
But guess what, getting free food came with a price to pay. Mlle Fournier pushed us into a class of students from Lycee Francais du Singapour to guide them around MOELC. We were really unprepared, I mean we were not told abt this beforehand, I immediately got butterflies in my stomach >< However it turned out really fun and quite interactive because the students were really responsive. We listened to them read and sing and recommend great movies and afterwards we were separated into groups to visit the booths, go for the mini karaoke session in the comp. lab and play a wordgame in another classrm. Caleb and Jieying were in one group, Wencen and trixie in another, and I, alone :( So I started talking to some of the girls, and they were really friendly :) though I was rather broken in my speech and had quite a hard time understanding them fully. I found myself saying Je suis desolee or OK, d'accord most of the time as a result!
In the end, all of us proceeded to the auditorium to listen to a band from Lycee Francais, the performance was really different, it was an acoustic band, so no electric guitar wadsoeva. They sung well too, and the songs sounded like plain white tees, those really sweet, more acoustic pop :) which I liked, plus it was entertaining. After that we listened to a speech by the ambassador of France in Singapore. It ended at 6+ though and I'm really worn out.

Having long breaks in school doesn't mean more time to do work afterall, it just means more slacking and a stronger desire to sleep during lectures after having slacked so much during e break...I found myself dozing off during bio lecture, and today's bio lecture was super hard and complicated...

Yay 2mr's a holiday! And guess what we're still discussing whether we're gonna have a CT outing the nxt day at 10.15 PM haha.

A long arduous journey

2009-03-22T17:51:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was a sad rainy saturday. And it rained just as I was about to leave home for piano lesson. =( I took the fact that I can board almost every bus from home to hc bus stop for granted....so somehow I boarded 970 thinking it was 852 and freaked out when it turned to 6th ave.! So poor me had to walk to the sixth ave bus stop while it was raining heavily...sighs. how dumb can I get.

And then while I was walking along the path surrounding hc i realised it disappeared halfway! I had to pause for a while to think if that path existed before I continued walking on the path along the road.

Mess Display

2009-03-21T16:46:00.000+08:00

Yesterday marked the end of a 3-day combined schools AYG prac. I've never been in a mass display before, so it was really an eye-opening experience! Dancing together with approx. 200 pple is formidable cos we can feel the energy bursting, especially with the props and formation. So the 3 days were planned for the formations and adding the guys part into the dance, and it turned out really stunning when we watched the video :) It's really no easy feat to choreography a mass display, Mr Dan is really capable! He was really humourous too, calling diff. groups sharks fin/ crayfish/ duck rice/ chicken rice haha. And cracking lame jokes from time to time....and justifying some formations with the phrase "Mess Display". haha. Guess it really did help to liven up the atmosphere!

The lunches were unexpectedly good too, although I was still hungry after wolfing down the entire meal. And on the 3rd day Mr Dan decided to reward everyone by treating all of us to bubble tea =D 200++ bubble teas! Woots! Thank you Mr Dan!

I find that I'm getting lazier to blog day by day, hope I'll still persevere when school reopens. I'm actually sort of looking forward to school, cos I feel really bored and end up slacking at home. As a result, there is no sense of accomplishment or satisfaction whatsoever and I end up killing time by eating eating eating and scavaging for food. I'm home alone now, and it's terrible. Even Trixie's out having piano lesson. But I've had a fun-filled week, plus having a flu gives me more reason to stay at home to rest.

Déjà vu

2009-03-18T22:23:00.000+08:00

The BBQ had 卓老师's house was really enjoyable! Interacting with the whole class made me feel so nostalgic. It's this indescribable feeling of warmth that overwhelms me whenever we gather as a class. Though I was not close to everyone, just sitting together, watching movies, and chatting was extremely relaxing. We spent an hour plus watching the movie "Déjà vu". Interesting, I must say, though it was a tad too confusing. And the atmosphere was so tense you could feel the stuff-iness as everyone was holding their breaths.

How I wish we could just go back to one day of school in Sec 4 --- Ms Khoo frothing at our work, Mr Tan talking bout his first love Physics, Ms Tan describing her experiences in track, Mr Lim cracking the lame-est jokes and 卓老师 psyching us for the much feared O-levels. But I guess they're all memories kept in the corner of my mind that will occasionally resurface....Just hope we'll have more regular gatherings =]
卓老师 is so kind to open up her place for a BBQ, and not forgetting her lovely pasta and other dishes =] 谢谢卓老师！We spent most of the time watching e movie, eating and eating and eating. Then digesting by showcasing our fac dances =] I'm so gonna learn the Artemis fac dance! It's just a matter of time, oh wells.
I really miss 401'08.

GCs.

2009-03-17T22:00:00.000+08:00

Went to school again, this time for math extra lesson....and we ended up doing a test, which was, in my opinion, harder than the lecture test. While Mr Loo was going thru the answers, I was glued to Yujie's blackjack application in his GC. Uber impressed by his programming skills. Although they were put to, well, erm, not-so-professional use when he crafted this 'Wild percentage' programme. Haha. That kept us laughing during the rest of math. Amusing. We were dismissed early and 74 spent half an hour deciding where to go for lunch. In the end, we went to Coro and packed the stairs beside Golden Rooster. It was, well, sort of uncomfortable to receive disapproving glances from passers-by. But we had a great time! A few seniors namely Weisin, Eugene, Jia Jun and Celia joined in minutes later =] Ended up camwhoring though, which was really weird haha.

Then went back to sch to stone/mug wif Caitong, Ziyan, Cheng Siang, Weisin, Jia Jun and Eugene. Thanks seniors for teaching me bout reciprocal graphs so patiently =] Your guidance is very much appreciated! Left at 3.30pm for 401 BBQ, will blog bout it sometime later =]

March HOLS :D

2009-03-16T19:19:00.000+08:00

So it's the March Holidays finally! Honestly, this is one of the best holidays cos we're not loaded with much homework, except for a few tutorials, which I've more or lessed completed thanks to CT mugging session today! But when I say CT, it only consists of me, Fabian, Cheng Siang, half of Kim Yung, Weisin and Yiran....it was, well, quite a failure in terms of quantity. Mummy was quite pissed that I decided not to stay at home to rest and recover, but I thought going to school was still worthwhile cos it was free from the evil distraction of e computer. And I got most of my work done. Trixie was at a Bio olympiad workshop for the frm 9 to 3pm, so she joined us for lunch at Coro, some Prince place. The food's reasonably gd, but I thot the price was a tad too high...it punched half a hole in my wallet =(. I like the ambience in sch...it's really conducive, despite the fact that there are pple playing frisbee, or rugby, or n'importe quoi sport, not forgetting Interact Club and its bunch of kids. It began to rain and I enjoyed the breeze although I was down wif a sore throat. I was really surprised that Kim Yung joined us halfway, considering that she lives in Malaysia! Finally, a bunch of thanks to Rosalind, who pang-sehed me! Initially it was only Cheng Siang and I in the morning, Fabian came half an hour late. Yongquan appeared occasionally at the bench but he spent most of his time at tossing his frisbee in the rain. This, I reckon, is true passion for his CCA. Thankfully Kim Yung Weisin and Yiran joined us in mugging =]
I'm really looking forward to BBQ 2mr :D Can't wait to meet 401!!! 401'08 <333

And we're back!

2009-03-15T13:39:00.000+08:00

It's great to get the blog up again, with a fresh new blogskin that I made! Woots! The coding is finally fixed, but I think it'll appear haywire in Firefox or some other browser other than IE. I haven't touched HTML for a long time, long gone were the days of creating blogskins....that was like 3 years ago? Yea.

And the thing is, I've lost all my old links, so I had to painstakingly go blog-hopping to search for links and I realized very few classmates have got blogs. And I think i've missed out blogging on the highlights of college life - that is Orientation REV-IT-UP! and POP :( Maybe Trixie will blog bout it.

Yesterday was a really hectic day, since our class has got the most lessons on friday, well, at least, for the non-tripscience peeps. We had bio lecture on proteins, then GP tutorial which carved a worried frown on my forehead, then highly amusing PW, math lecture and even more amusing chem tutorial.

I love chem tutorial!
I nvr sleep because there's just too much going on in the class! Moreover, there's always something to giggle about -- either at how our class gets scolded for trivial foolish behaviour or at how some of our highly amusing classmates whisper secrets to one another.I must say I'm starting to like 09S74 A LOT. it doesn't seem as doomed as it was going to be in week one. Although most of us are at diff. frequencies and live on diff. planets and take diff. subject combis, we can still relate to each other somehow =] It's hard to explain....in short, weird but fun. haha.

Holy has got this list on which she records our misdeameanours....and I think she picks on those who've alr got black marks -.- It's pretty obvious. I think I've got a grey mark -- first for lending kim yung and ziyan my chem tut (which she confiscated for nothing) and then for blocking her way when i stretched out my hand to return cheng siang his stapler. Can't help but laugh when I think of how she punished kim yung and ziyan. Cleaning the board.

The thing is, when she screams at pple, it's traumatising. but i find it hard to suppress giggles cos she'll just break out into a smile after that. For example, a few pple came into class slightly late and rushed to their seats.

Holy: "What should you do when you come in late? Shouldn't you enter by the frontdoor and greet the teacher?"
Chin Kiat: "Oh ok"*Gets up and attempts to go to the front door to do the accurate procedure*
Holy: *laughs* "I said next time!"

What was amusing was yet to come. After a few seconds, Jia Hua came in and walked in by the backdoor. Everyone, including Holy, laughed uncontrollably.

**

Mdm Chen finally blew her top during PW, cos we were far too noisy. But gosh you should look at how quiet we were during e presentations. I think our group did a pretty gd job, considering that it was done in one night. We presented on Tyra Banks as a groundbreaker, a ground-breaker, literally. Everyone was either sleeping/stoning though, and Michelle and I had fun tying french braids. It was quite a frenzy helping Michelle tie hers as she experimented with an inverted braid which was kind of. erm. adventurous. It was great fun though. I guess I can join the french-braid club which currently consists of Michelle and Kimyung. We've got a bimbo club too: Rosalind and Michelle. Then the pong-hair club: Michelle, Rosalind, Yi Sheng and Chin Kiat, maybe Jiahua?? Then there's the caitong gang: Caitong, Ziyan, Kimyung. And lastly the Wild Men (?!!) club: YuJie, Yong quan. lol. Oh yups and the oh-ba-sang (auntie) club: Michelle, Ziyan and me. haha. That makes Michelle a pong-hair french braid bimbo auntie. lol.

CT session was short and slack, yay! Then we all proceeded to the canteen for some bonding time wif Mr Heng, who kindly treated all of us to drinks. Mr Yao came back during CT session and apparently, he went home to style and wax his hair halfway during bio lecture in the morning. (!!???) His returned with his hair 5 centimetres taller. gosh.

***
After sch, Ann, Cheryl, Larrie, Pat, Yunyi, Hilary, Jin Faye, Bernice, Trix and I went back to Nanyang to visit our dear juniors at the roof-top hall. The SYF dance is really abstract and the concept is really interesting. And I must say the juniors are doing really well, especially the sec fours who are so responsible and serious. The CNY self-choreo, and adaptation to such a huge change of style are evidence of how they've matured, and juniors, we're really proud of you!

I'm really missing the atmosphere of NYMD during HFOS and Mulan...how I wish I can experience those times again! But now they're just memories that I can only cling on to dearly...At least, our batchmates are still close to one another, and I still sense that warm feeling whenever we see each other =]

Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Whee thanks theresa for changing our blogskin! Term 1 alr flew by so quickly... I was too caught up with school to even bother to update this blog. Orientation, lectures, tutorials (bleagh), cca, outing and hey, OG23-ers were really friendly =D.

OG 22!

I'm really beginning to like our class =). Initially I really missed my OG loads because I didn't know anyone in my ct at all (except theresa). And it seemed like we vibrated on diff. frequencies ( i think we still do) since we were a ct with a really unique mix of subject combi and personalities. But now I love my ct and i still miss my OG =)

Grad Nite

2008-12-13T13:28:00.000+08:00

Yay, we finally got pictures from laura's camera. (thx laura!) Grad night was indeed memorable even though only 10 401ners and 5 mdancers turned up. The food was great and the programme was quite good. I enjoyed the magic show and the food, but not all of the games. Some were, in my opinion, just to kill time. hahas. Preparation at Laura's house was really fun. She treated us to a trip to the salon at Great World City (thx again Laura!) where Theresa got her hair curled while mine was blown-straight. Preapring was fun as it was just the 3 of us in her cozy room =D.

Everyone looked really great and I was v. surprised that most ppl turned up in glamourous dresses even though the dresscode had been made more and more casual to attract more sec 4s to turn up. 401:

Biennale 2008

2008-11-21T18:01:00.000+08:00

Last sunday, Theresa and I went to the BIENNALE! Finally, after we were 'coerced' to go there since it was the last day of the exhibition and also since two years later, we'll be preparing for a levels =(. Thank God, there were fewer last-minute visitors than expected. hahas. However, I realised that one ticket entitles you to a compliment Biennale Guide, yet the two of us were only given one guide. groans.

This year's biennale was less gory and scary (no more PG exhibits) than the last, but I think it was on a smaller scale. There were no freebies like the 2006's series of badges, but we had free ice cream - Andersens of Denmark! We approached the person asking how much it cost for a cup and she almost burst out laughing at us. -_-. There were no choices and we had to eat strawberries & cream (what we don't like), yet when we finished, she started distributing chocolate ice cream (what we love).

the screening of hfos 2 dvd brings back lots of memories...the pavilion is v. pretty and the atmosphere was good except the sound quality and sticky floor. but after all we all looked great on stage.yay!

23rd November
I woke up late so it was laure who woke me up instead of the alarm clock...didn't know that her sch started at 8am that day. so we walked 2 tram stations to place de la victoire. the distance doesn't matter to us cos we are in a foreign land and are always fascinated by the daily life scenes in france and another reason is because we are travelling in a huge group :D then after learning more bout the history of bordeaux as a roman town, we moved on to musee d'Aquitaine, a museum showcasing the history of erm...europe? in diff. eras...prehistoric, roman, medieval, modern blabla. so i walked wif yiran trix and mabel,then we all freaked out at the hooded dementor-looking dummies in the modern era section and stopped our journey. the end. anyway, it was nearing the end :D we returned to the lycee for lunch. and the lunch was this really hard as stone steak, but i quite liked it. i guess i was the only person who quite liked it. it was hard but bloody, weird eh? then we had FLE and feedback with Pige. stoops Pige. heex. after that we all made our way to a classrm for a video on the history of France. i was like stoning so i didn't catch anything, actualy even though i did not stone i still couldn't catch anything so 4get it hahax. so i went home myself (for the first time). learnt that every friday Laure will have a date wif her bf till midnight. wow, quite sweet haha, so Luciel talked to me and then she used her cam to zipai a lot. they like too zipai too :D and then i had difficulty telling the parents that my parents were in turkey. i was like saying in french and they were like ha? i said in english and even said < the bird you eat during xmas!> haha and i made such a fool of myself cos i realised turkey (the country) was turquie in french and there's nosuch bird as turquie. how did they understand? they resorted to taking out a world map and asking me to point out where my parents were, haha!

I swam with Yiran today, we finally got to swim together :) trix and mabel did not want to swim. so the stoned at the poolside, hahax :D so we swam laps and talked...while swimming. then we called wencen and she sounded like she hasn't woken up yet, xurui said she would reach 30 mins later. then leon came, me and yiran went to shower and enjoy a hot steam bath. chen ji dry our swimsuits too :D we played PIG and ate the food. yiran's dumplings are so nice :D cake was not bad too. i ate a lot. PIG was so fun it kept us playing for very long :D did stupid actions like putting legs on the table, standing up and shouting random stuffs, blahblah. so thrilling :) then yiran trix and i had to go to school for the 19th rehearsal, so we left the other 4 in the function room playing. came back all tired out. at 3pm we left for far east plaza to find court shoes, but far east don't have. we went to get clip ons from chamelon, got my lens solution and foundation at watsons. then we made our way to borders, lost mabel and trix cos they wandered off to marks and spencers. we went to plaza sing and finally found court shoes (not really court shoes, more like mary janes) at DMK :D yeah. we went to the basement to get some food, thank you mabel for treating us to saybons soup :D love ya always!! the tomato soup was great. so we plonked ourselves down outside plaza singa near the fountain and started eating. then said byebye and went home. will always love bFAT :D

21 Nov -- we went to musee jean moulin (a WWII museum)it's wednesday so the french pple will end school real early at 12.30 pm, so gd right? anyway yiran and I decided to go shopping. but I had to go back home to eat lunch with Laure first. the museum was quite interesting, was stoning throughout the video cos i didn't understand but it was still fun. we saw this protest outside the museum and we rushed to take pics and the pple looked as if they were very happy, then we realised they were protesting against foreigners or sth. oopsie. but anyways we are tourists :D
so we returned to the lycee after the museum visit, then i walked home with laure. took almost 30 mins, they walk real fast. we dropped by the supermarket to buy ingredients for hamburgers, then made hamburgers at home. ate with lucile, jeremie and jeremie's friend who was going to fetch me back to the lycee on scooter. was real windy on the scooter. so i walked to aimee's house from the lycee and then we went shopping :) the shopping trip wasn't very fruitful, aimee looked real exhausted and i wasn't really in the mood, but talked wif yiran happily :D h&m was real nice, but quite crowded. the clothes very frenchie, real diff. style from singapore's shops, very topshop there. so we took 45 back home, then had dinner. salmon with creme fraiche, real yummy, and rice. their rice like nasi briyani, very nice oso :D then we told jokes at the dining table and had fun laughing...we played like charades on the white board, hahax. great family :D

Bordeaux!

2007-12-15T10:10:00.000+08:00

Yeah, I'm going to do a real giant post on the entire trip.
So we met at Changi International Airport for the midnight flight. Mum and Dad and Terry were already in Turkey so our Aunt brought us there :) I couldn't contain my excitement! The plane was horrible...13 hours. the last 4 hours were gruelling cos the food sucked and i got nauseous. The movies were the same as the return flight from NZ cos it's still NOV, so well I watched Hors d'Prix which I've always wanted to watch :D sat with trixie and lihong. when we reached Charles de Gaulle in Paris, the workers were on strike so no one turned up for work at the airport. Only a lonely police officer was standing in the middle of the airport directing us. So there was no train no nothing. ohyarh my luggage's wheel was terribly stuck, so i pulled the luggage like crazy. then everyone decided to walk only i took the travellator so i was stuck behind a group of real tall guys. they were like quite intimidating, luckily mlle cheo followed me :D we ate a chocolatine from Paul's. Paul's is a very gd patisserie! i was dehydrated. not allowed to bring water bottles onto the plane, and the water cost like 1.50euros per bottle, which was S$3!!
And the devastating news was it was already like 10.15am when we boarded the bus to go to another train station and our train was at 10.30am. The bus was late by 10 mins, and we had to fork out 12 Euros cos of the strike. xin1 tong4. we slept on the bus and our next train was at 2pm, so we went to a mini fast food restaurant, ate a 2.50euros hotdog (which was the cheapest unfortunately) and I bought a copy of Glamour magazine. There was a cute journal :D It was 1.80 euros, which was the cheapest too :D we sat down and just chatted. And I wanted to go to the toilet which cost 0.50euros, lian ce suo ye bu fang guo! hahax. but this is a once in a lifetime authentic french experience, getting delayed because of a strike :D finally we could board the train and I dragged by luggage with all my might again. our train carriage was like so far away, I wanted to give up. Thanks to Mabel who helped me drag my luggage too :D I sat with Trixie and slept a bit. Went to the bar and played cards with some others :) bought an orangina.we played asshole taiti and bridge. the train ride was 3 hours and we were totaly exhausted when we reached Gare St-Jean and Bordeaux. our host families picked us up and I was so excited to see Laure and Audrey :D Laure's mother looked fierce but she was realy nice to help me drag my lugage to the car. It was real windy. Her dad was driving and they were really humorous on the way :D Her mum said "I can speak a little english" then her dad just made funny noises in the english accent, haha. So we reached her house, this little cute house with a chimney surrounded by shop houses and opposite is a grocery. Saw her little sister, real cute :D then they showed me around the house, got be bedroom slippers. I was so thrilled to see that my room was so cosy! and then Laure showed me her cat Grisou. haha he's real cute, black :D and then she said he might sleep with me, gdness. the second floor was already the attic and it's where all the children slept. it was warm and real well furnished. there was a garden but it was dark already. We ate noodles in soup and had pomegranate. i went to bathe. the bathroom was big but the shower cabin was totally mini.but nevertheless it's real cosy :D there was a WC beside the bathrm. i went to sleep.

19th Dec
So i woke up and laure was already at the sofa. i washed up and then went to the kitchen to scavage for food. laure showed me how to make hot chocolate. i stupidly asked where was the thermos flask for hot water she said they don't have hot water. they heat water up in the microwave! so i poured milk in a bowl, put it in the microwave, then added chocolate powder. ate bread and biscuit and the cat ate with me :D we were watching some drole de reveil which was a morning show on tv. we crossed the road and reached the bus stop. the school was really near. lycee magendie is quite small but really modern. we went to the library and laure showed me around the school, then I was left with the rest. we were supposed to tour the school with pige but arnaud and brandon and me had to leave for class. laure was with her bf, so she was late for class. we had "Sciences de la vie et de la terre" which was life and earth sciences. it was a combination of geography, biology, geology, etc. it was a 2 hour lesson so i was bored to death. the only fun part was counting the flies on the plate. haha. but it was real chim, the phenotype genotype thingies cos they are 2 years older than us. then we had physics. newton's law, i could understand but the cursive handwriting was real hard to decipher so the symbols looked screwed to me. then we went for lunch. ate with brandon leon jamie and aaron.i think. it was macaroni with pork with chocolate cream with banana. i like the canteen system.but the queue was real long. we saw pple playing football but it was freezing outside, then played cards in the library. made too much noise, very paiseh so we walked out. we had FLE (french lesson) and we received a map of bordeaux, talked about what we ate last night and learnt some french. then we went to see their art class. it looked very much like aep but the people looked really arty-farty. we saw this punk with black and pink hair, real cool. their sketchbooks were wonderful, great illustrations, we saw a funkily graffitied wall. then we had reception in the evening, and we tried macarons!! macarons rock, they are small colourful pastries. we had some other refreshments and I went home with Laure. I was France's Top Model with Lucile (Laure's sister). then saw her brother (Jeremie) he was playing playstation with his friend in a room. Her mum came and told Lucile not to watch Top Model because it's too mature blah blah but she said I liked it which was true so yeah, we were both happy and we continued watching :) then we watched MTV. i watched top model and MTV nearly everyday. and then it was the best dinner ever! arclettes! my fav french food! it was potatoes with meat (ham, pork, and another type) the meat was raw and real salty, but it went well with the potatoes and melted cheese. we put the cheese in a small little pan and put it into this stemboat like machine to let it melt. wow, real yummy. everybody except the father and I peeled the skin. after bathing her sis came to talk to me and then we continued talking and playing every night :D laure came in for a short while and i gave them presents then they were so happy :D it's real gd to see them happy :D

oh no i've only blogged 2 days, never mind, will continue somehow :)

Hi we've been back from france since this MOnday. =D
It was a really fun trip and after three weeks in Bordeaux, I want to stay there!
And we miss our french immersion friends a lot!!!
So we decided to meet up at Taka on Xurui's bday 12 dec. Then we went for dinner at Pepper Lunch after reserving a Chocolat gateau at Bengawan's solo. I had a Beef pepper rice -- v. nice coz I haven't eaten such fragrant rice in France. It was v. fun talking about Bordeaux and Paris while eating. =D Then theresa bought an ice cream since I also missed the dessert part of a meal in Singapore. We played cards for a while until this guy came to tell us that they had a full house and we were kinda chased out (even though yiran and theresa were still eating). Next, we collected the cake and sat down near the fountain outside Ngee Ann city. We were more daring after the trip, so Mabel went up to a smoker to ask for a lighter. We sang happy birthday for Xurui -- it really is fun to celebrate birthdays like that. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Orchard Road. And the christmas lights, even though xurui said they were nothing compared to champs-elysees. Then we shoved xurui into Zara, Mango, Fox etc. and Perlini's silver to find a present for her. It was only about 9.30pm when we decided to buy a top from fox for her. Wow. present shopping can take so long. then we walked slowly to Shaw's Mcdonalds for a chat. I got a 60cents ice-cream cone. We talked and tlaked until 10.30, which was really late for me. we did not stay up woth our friends in town till so late before. then we rushed home and returned at around 11.10 since we missed our bus.
But it was really great fun to see our friends again=D coz when school reopens I will really miss them ..
Thanks for making the days in France enjoyable for us twins: Mabel, Nora, Wencen, Xurui, Brandon, Leon, Yiran, Yifei!

2007-11-21T21:22:00.000+08:00

hi everyone... i'm in France now =D. it is very cold around 6 to 12 degrees, but NZ has trained me to take the cold.
The first day we arrived at Paris, we were held back as there was a strike and the people working at the TGV station in the airport were not working! so we had to take a shuttle bus over to Gare de Montparnesse to catch the tgv train at 2 pm. The tgv is very high tech and very steady. they had this bar like area and we played asshole taiti together =D.
Audrey's house is very cozy and very country. The dinner was soooo filling. i'm v. lucky coz the first thing i ate for entree is foie gras and baguette... yummy yummy! we had roasted chicken and potatos and this sugared brad for dinnerL. i was so full after that. Her dog lidzie is very cute and furry. she's v. gentle and likes to explore new people and walk arounds me sniffing.
Then the second day I took the tran with my buddy from Pessac to school. I went
for her nmaths lesson aznd they were learning abt inequalities. not to be offensive, but their method is really long with very long working and long sentences. Later, We had an apllied arts lesson and we walked around the class and observed the students and flipped through their design scrapbooks.very inspiring for coursework indeed, but i dunno what to do till now. this funny guy cmne up to us with a world nap and asked us where our country is. ha! We then learned abt french food later. the reception at 6 pm in the canteen was great they had finger food like chocolates and macarone!!!
on the third day, we went for an orientation at college alain fournier. we watched a video on gironde and bordeaux. then we took the tramway to centre ville for a trasure hunt. whezn we need answers to some questions on the village or need to ask for directions, we had to ask in french. we two walked around with mabel, xurui, zhengkai and brandon. xurui and theresa and brandon were the main enthu people while mabel and i were like the umbrella holders for them. but zhengkai actually did help to lead the way but he misunderstood the french woman and led us to this weird narrow long alley. and we walked one whole round to reach our destination again. We eventually saw the fountain in front of the river,aka the mirror. the fountain is so magnificent in the ,idst of all the ancient buildings. wow this place is so immersed in culture!
ok now i'm at audrey's house after eating steak and potatoes cooked by her. lessons on wednesday end at 12 nn and so i'm going to town for a walk and some shopping later with elsa and sherlyn. hopefully i'll see theresa and the rest too.
bye.

2007-11-13T14:35:00.001+08:00

Wow. Time flies so fast and I'm back from NZ in 11 days! It was the beeeeest experience overseas I had =D.
My group rox a lot. At first, we were v. quiet but I realised all of us our FUN and we had no cliques! (like v. rarely only)=D. Special thx to all in group4 for making my trip such an enjoyable one!
The OPC activities were all v. thrilling. Except tt my camera froze and i couldn't take any pics. Stil waitin for group members to send photos. sobs.
Days one and two: Travelling on plane and travelling to OPC.
Day three: Bush bashing. We were all muddy coz it was raining q. a lot. Grace slijd down a steep mud slope onto Ju and Ju onto my leg. Haha. It was so sudden! Then we went for the flying fox which rocked thanks to the scenery (a pretty river way way below)and climbed a tree tied to the whole group. So fun!
Day four: Caving!!! It was so squeezy in the cave. Rocky. cold. wet. There were certain areas that required us to crawl on all fours and even i got stuck between really narrow rocks at times. I remember the birth canal, escape route and toaster!Caving is also a disadvantage for taller people. coz i couln't stand straight at times.
Day four: Mt Ruapehu! We climbed a snow mountain up to abt 1900m above sea lvl. Could see a magnificent view of tongariro national park and the other 2 mountains --- Mt. Tongariro and Mt. Ngaruhoe (Mt Doom in LOTR!)We had fun in the snow and slid down a steep snow slide...really steep and long! Climbing up was tough. We used ice hacks and our feet to push into the ice. I fell the first time but did it the 2nd tim, thx to Georgie for her deep footsteps and Jodie for telling me to move on. coz if i fall she'll fall at the back of me too.
Day five: Fist day overnight expedition! We went tubing down river mangatepopo. It was freezing cold. At times it was so shallow i got stuck on the rocks and had to walk. At times the river was so rapid tt i capsized. The first ime I lost my tube. many pple fell too. that's where u see the despo side of people! Clinging onto leaves by the bank was the only answer. =D. The 2nd time i capsized was when the river swept all of us towards the bank and we all capsized in a frenzy together. really had a great laugh! We had the opportunity to see rare blue ducks too! Then we went to trek to our campsite in a pretty temperate grassland with yellow shrubs and thorns all around. The view was so great and it was v. cooling. At night, the sky was so magnificent with stars all around us. All of us lay on the grass and stared at e sky till 12 midnight! We sang many crazy songs (including the school songs)to keep warm and huddled together. I saw bright shooting stars too! It's a really touching moment!
Day six: We trekked between Mt. Tongariro and Mt. Ngaruhoe. With a heavy pack and the shit spade. It was going upslope and the ground was covered with white moss and rocks. Q. nice scenery. V. differnt from e other days actually. Then we reached the clouds and were inside it! The last part was to cross lava (spilled out in the 50s by one of e mountains)The lava was like prickly, unstable rocks, and i shook like xiao! v. scary! Then we went rock climing on a cliff which is abt 10m. I didn't climb fake rock walls before, but the real one is much more thrilling for sure. at time the crevice in the rocks are too narrow and if i jam my foot in it could not come out easily. Abseiling down later was q. scary and i did it so slowly tt Georgie came and pulled the rope faster that i was running down the wall. Haha. Thx to Portia and Liying for belaying me. I can hear you two laughing like mad from down there as you two always do! =D. We camped in the forest near the caves coz it was really cold and rainy in the mountains. I rmb the pasta we had for dinner which rocked! =D
Day seven: Left OPC. so sad.... We had our last lunch there in Taurewa Lodge b4 heading to Kiwi Paka Hostel in Rotorua. Stopped by Lake Taupo and played in the playground there. the kids are all so cute! I did not bathe there coz I was lazy but I went to the toilet there a few times. Bailu was washing her socks in the basin, right under the sign that says : "No washing of clothes at basins.Pls use laundry room." Haha.
Day eight: Fun at Rororua! We took a gondola up a mountain at Skyline Skyrides and played the luge twice. On the intermediate track, I crashed into the grass and lost control q. a few times haha! The chairlift ride back up the mountain was fun to. Then we went to Agro ventures. I tried the Agrojet and Swoop. Agrojet was suprisingly not wet. My first time jetboating. Liying and I came up laughing for no reason. It was fun. =D The swoop was the scary one. Grace, Portia and I were strapped into sth like potato sacks and lifted abt 40m high above ground and swoop down we go. I love tt empty stomach feeling! We had pizza for dinner in Auckland. We were waiting hungrily and on the waiting list, we were called "Hungry People", can't stop laughing abt tt! We had a great diner in me and Sheila's room.
Day nine: At Auckland, we hopped on e explorer bus to Auckland Museum to catch the Maori Show. The PM was at the museum since they were commemorating a minute of silence to mark e end of WWI. Then we went on to Victoria Park Market for lunch and shopped around. We went to the Ferry Building and walked up Queens Street. More shopping! It was really great fun shopping with the team. For dinner we roamed aroung the area near our hotel and found Burger King at Sky City Metro. sth like our Cathay Cineleisure. We went to the arcade and I watched them play stuff and we took neoprint together! We went to Borders to read mags too.
Day eleven: Last minute shopping at the airport and we had to go!
Bye NZ!

I really miss NZ now. From OPC to Rotorua and Auckland. I miss Dog biscuits. I miss our chalet and the loft. I miss the scenery at Tongariro national park. I miss my groupmates!thanks to:
Sheila, Liying, Jodie, Valerie, Portia, Yiyan, Grace and Xin yi! You've all been great fun in NZ!
Loves,
Trixie.

Today was another funfilled post-EOY day. =D First, it was the volleybal CUP, PLATE, BOWL. As expected, theresa and i were in bowl. However, unexpectedly, we won first! Coz the rules were really lenient and the ball can bounce once on the ground, we don't need to rotate.... =D So we had Chengyan and LiuKun who were so pro that we mainly won by serves! Thanks to KaiYun, our team manager who won all our scissors paper stone for all 4 matches so we could serve first. And out of the 4 games, I was on court once and haha, I did not even touch the ball at all.

And in the afternoon, we were supposed to go to MOELC for our cheese-tasting workshop. However, we were an hour late coz we thought it started at 4pm!!!!! But Mme Pang was really nice. She saved some cheese and bread for us. There was the garlic cheee spread, goat cheese thingy, some cheese coated with white cream and roquenfort-blue-greenish cheese. I q. liked all of it although the goat and blue ones were a little strong. Nice experience though. Then we met Jamie and we 5 and her went to J8 for dinner. To celebrate our belated birthday actually. Not at Swensens this time, but at the food court, which was equally good! =D It was a good change and we really talked a lot which was really fun, coz Jamie was really lively and I enjoyed everyone's company =D.

EOYs are coming sooooo fast, tomorrow's our maths research project presentation....so after tomorrow, trix and i can sweep our hands off all SIAs! and study hard for the EOYs, a lil too late but still can manage larh. only hope on FRENCH. i think the AEP exam should be manageable too, although i suck at expository essays, but the topic interests me so should be quite ok :) i feel ever so demoralized for chinese in 301. in 201, i did above average for all essays and tests in chinese, i felt actually quite comfortable in sec 2. but then in sec3, everybody's so bilingual in 301 and then i nearly flunk my essays and i go to the bottom...furthermore the teacher just...i don't know, just chunk us with questions assuming we know how to answer, missing the foundation part, maybe my chinese is just lan, but i speak chinese 85% at home, maybe it's not proper but i live in a chinese speaking environment, i feel quite comfortable communicating but it's just who will use chengyus and suyus and flabbergasting vocab at home? bah.
english is exactly opposite, i still feel in place but everything i feel is tooo systematic. first step: analyse question, second step: blahblah, third step: blahblah. i wouldn't go memorise each step before exams, will you?
i sound quite stressed, i really am, but i think this will not be the worse part of my life, imagine sec 4, jc and uni. haha.
I shall just study as hard as i can, do my best, pray to God and thank God for what he gives me :) there's still something to look forward to this week:
CHURCH'S MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL CELEBRATION
ask me for details if you are interested in going ok? :D
just four more weeks and everything'll be over :) im so going to enjoy my holidays! mugging will be worth it :D
GD LUCK JIAYOU and GOD BLESS everybody :D (to all 301ers and all my friends)

My 2nd post in a day: T3 was very busy partly due to the hosting of our French friends. My French buddy is Audrey, a 16-year-old who's very nice, humourous and sweet! We had a very enjoyable time with them and also othe fellow Singaporean hosts at many occasions like the visit to the French Ambassador's place, Social Nite BBQ and NDP at Marina Bay!!!Even though the 3 wks they stayed in Singapore clashed with my test schedule, we still found enough time to bring them out shopping, swimming etc. Over the weeks. I got to become closer to my buddy since we see each other every day. =D However she was bored stiff during the 3 days of schooling with me....ha! Pic 1: We two and Audrey at the airport.
Pic2: Theresa with her buddy Laure and Laure's host Hui Min from RJC =D.
Pic 3: Whole group photo before they depart for France.
Pic 4: At NDP From Audrey, Laure, Etienne and oops.. I forgot her name.
For Audrey:
Thanks for being such a great buddy! Je t'aime et tu me manques!

It's looong since I posted..coz theresa's more hooked to the computer now =D.
Many things happened in T3 and time flys... at the speed of light..it's now going to T4! EOYS! But before that, Term 3 was really very fun... a time juggled between SIA presentations, hosting Bordeaux students, tests and also busy with Nanyang 90th anniversary (esp. art exhibition).
Although I didn't go down to TAKE A LOOK at the Green Dot Exhibition, I had a fulfilling time PREPARING it. Here are some pics of our groups final gnome:

We were inspired to give it a name.. and it turned out to be Juxty Posy. Coz this gnome has a little "juxtaposition" in it. it is old and has a grey beard, but it's dressed teenage style. =D
Ok.. that's all abt this post..dedicated to JUxty Posy's builders Samantha, Zheng Yan, Theresa&Trixie (us).

It has almost been a month since i updated...church camp really rawked!
18-22 June
18 June We had a barbecue with the China Fellowship, only Wenling, Xiaohui Xiaohong me trix jiajun and jiaming from ypf joined them, there were so many chicken wings we cooked them for lunch the next date. it was really fun :D i had a little sore throat but it recovered thank god :D
19 June
The YPFers joined us at 10 :D we played ice-breakers...as usual double whacko and the jumping square game :D haha. then we had folk dance after lunch and trix and i demonstrated while biqing ahyi taught...it was such a funny thing to see everyone dance..so joyful though totally uncoordinated. quite hard to coordinate, but we all had fun :D it's this israeli folk dance, very simple and cute! Then we learnt to guo zhongzi from lanying ahyi, mine came loose but they tasted really good though i thought the rice was too sticky, and it was stuck too my braces...
if im right, qixin and qiyuan came! these two lil darling babies, qiyuen is really so intelligent for his age. he told me the story of titanic! in chinese :D then we all had fun carrying qixin and playing with her!
meals were all fabulous cos the china pple wer really great cooks! great great food they cooked, very jia xiang. though most wer veggies but they still tasted good. ha what limited vocab.
then we discussed our drama upstairs in the chalet. our group's drama was the story of Job...Job was a man of faith in God, so satan came to "test" him and inflicted him with loads of suffering. However, his faith never wavered and he continued to trust in God though he lost all that he had and suffered from broils and everything. In the end, God blessed him with double of what he had from before...guangjun was job, and we all played different roles...xubo shushu came up with a really good idea of making the story modern-oriented or whatever you call it :D
We slept on the floor cos the beds wer for the elderly like my mum...haha. and i huddled in my sleeping bag, with trix beside me and little vicki and wenling and xiaohong xiaohui. btw the room was real big but only two single beds, what a pity.
20 June
It was supposed to be biking at Pulau Ubin, but i decided not to go. stayed with xiaohong xiaohui and we talked quite a bit with jerry and darius...prepared lunch and cut vegetables...i still duno what the veggies' called but it's really yummy. why didn't i go to ubin? cos i haven't cycled for a year and now it's in ubin im going to lag behind and suffer...staying in the chalet wasn't that bad...we saw jingjing (not the one from school :D) jian dan...haha, so pro!
Then they all came back sweaty and tired, lan ying ahyi brewed earl's grey for them. heard it was fun, even jasmin who hasn't cycled before made it back, it must have been quite fun really...:D
then after lunch we continued to prepare for the drama, xubo went into many details. i kept nodding to sleep and jasmin xiaohong and me all snoozed off halfway.
we washed dishes after diner cos it was grp B's turn, then we had the drama show at the guy's chalet 1. so many mosquitoes at night i got a few small bites, not very serious...and can't believe we got first :D our group got fruit de mer chocolates from the Cocoa trees. then all groups had kinder bueno. we all shared :D then we had sharing, forgot where we had it...
21 June
It's the Bible Lands Virtual Tour! Went to Jerusalem haha. it was a really good "tour" by mushi :D learnt lots of stuff i've never learnt before, clarified loads of questions in my head cos im not very gd at places especially those of the bible, rather confusing...
After nasi lemak lunch i was like totally nodding off, not only I but everyone. someone said it was the body's normal reaction but i peeled my eyelids awake. tried really hard...managed to get in info :D qixin and qiyuen came again!! played this choochoo train thingy with qiyuen and i couldn't get out of it...so i carried qixin in one hand and we pretended to go onto qiyuen's train, then we were supposed to go over to chalet 1, qixin looked like she wanted me to carry her there, so lihuan ahyi told me and jiaming to get the two kids to chalet 1. then when qixin saw her car drive off, she looked like she wanted to cry and she was carried into the car, then i walked there with tingting and others :D we watched the cross in china, a really touching short film of how chinese in mainland china have accepted christ. quite an eye-opener. We had a short prayer for those who have not accepted christ in our group. they talked to us about their problems. of course i was quiet, listened to lihuan ahyi answer their questions and guangjun and yaoqi too. potential chuandao people :D
We had thanksgiving and then many of us stayed up. we danced the israeli folk dance again, then dunno who came up with the crazy idea of the guys switching place with the girls and then i become guy then one minute becoming the girl part...wa, i da tuan luan, but fun :D we all were so happy. then eleen taught everyone the matong game, we played for a short while then...what did we do? oops, i 4got. trix is sleeping. anyway jerry and robert escorted the girls back to chalet 2 at around 1plus pm...then i slept. others stayed up to chat and pray, but my room was like totally asleep :D
oh yarh and before the short film we had a sumptuous buffet, i love the burburchacha and then i fed qixin :D so kewtt. she ate the chicken. haha.
22 June
I didn't know yesterday was the last worship in the chalet cos this morning we left with mushi before worship so it was quite an abrupt break camp cos i ate breakfast hurriedly then left, but i realy love the camp! And thank God that Terry got such great achievements in Thailand. I'm proud of you brother :D God bless you.
Here's a picture of our group, my head is half cut off :D

Here's a song, my fave during the camp, words are real meaningful and the tune is awesome!
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm throught the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save
'Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
then bursting forth in Glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again
And as he stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

:D Gd nite.

HAPPY BURFDAE BAILU :D
i went to watch pirates of the carribean 3 yesterday with my aunt and trix!
3 hours there...at Shaw Lido. rather annoyed by these two pple sitting at the back asking each other who's jack sparrow blah blah...then the guy sitting beside trixie turned around and went "oh shut up please." and it worked. ha.
before that we went to eat a seafood buffet with my parents and terry and my aunt and trix to celebrate our aunt's burfdae! the food was great-alicious!
Me, trixie and mum: (the normal ones) Appetizer: seafood, main course: steak, desert: cake
Terry: (the abnormal) Appetizer: seafood, main course: NIL, desert: loads of ice-cream
Papa and Aunt: (same genes but unfortunately not inherited by us)
Appetizer: Sashimi and oysters, main course: more sashimi and oysters, desert: more and more sashimi and oysters.
But they suffered from a little erhmm...stomach upset after that...
trix terry and i are SAFE.

mouth-watering? ha. actually the restaurant was rather empty, but the food is good although it's really rather ex...so i may only get to eat another buffet after many many years...

today's slack day, no CCA, no nothing, going for church fellowship tonight to eat dinner :D
watched How to Lose a guy in 10 Days last night, up till 00:30, cos terry was having chess and he and papa were out. heard the next morning that his game lasted till 00:30...wow. that's long, i will never appreciate the art of chess. sadly.

2007-05-29T22:07:00.000+08:00

OK, so it's the JUNE holidays now! Went to swim this afternoon, finally utilising the swimming pool downstairs...but it started to rain after 20 mins. groans. watched MISS UNIVERSE! MISS JAPAN WON!! yeah! although I prefered Miss Korea and Miss India..surprisingly oriental beauty has proven to be more welcome now...i though brazil was pretty too :) so this year is certainly more promising...the costumes were great too! Singapore's one wasn't that outstanding cos many of the costumes were so exotic and striking, but i guess the concept was real nice...mix of 4 races, beautiful...but don't know why there wasn't a winner for best national costume? maybe i missed it...and no best talent or sth? i thought there will be...but Miss Japan's a ballerina! and i realised many of the pageants are realy art-sy, fashion design, blah blah, all there aspiring dreams...wow.
can't wait for french buddies to come...have no idea about it yet...
guess, i'll end here, spending my holidays as a time for relaxation from the previous 5 months of hurrying...but i can't seem to forget about those SIAs...muz just get over and done with...then there's still next yr and the next...:D
guess that's life? sounding a bit like ms khoo eh? heez...
HAPPY JUNE HOLS DEAR FRIENDS and 301 :D

2007-05-17T07:08:00.000+08:00

Well, in school now again and everyone's doing physics wksht :)
Reflection is sooo confusing, and today got LA timed essay and BIO Quiz?
Chinese report due next week, sabbaticals next week.
trix and i are in shooting and some murder mystery thing...
unlike in sec 1 and sec 2 i will be looking forward, but in sec 3 it will just feel like a normal school week but without AEP hahax.
at least there'll be little homework :)
I can't wait for my french correspondants to come in July!!
Parler de la francais,
Parler de français, j’ai un contrôle demain, j’ai peur!! Très peur! Je n’ai pas revise beaucoup, mais j’espère que je peux réussir…c’est le mot? Eh bien, Mr Gan n’est pas à l’école cette semaine-là, alors Mr Lim nous a appris “Pin-hole photographie” pendant les cours d’AEP. C’est assez amusant, mais j’étais très fatigue pendant le cours, alors je ne me suis pas amusée.
Le cours de mathématiques était drôle hier parce que Mrs Cheq et Mrs Ho viennent voir le cours. Nous avons fait des questions de SMO!! Et Ee Yang, HuiMing et moi, nous avons solve un question! C’est superbe! Hahax…
Il est 7.15pm, alors je vais parler à mes amis, Trix et moi avons pris le bus aujourd’hui à l’école.
Au revoir!

2007-05-11T07:02:00.000+08:00

I finally figured out this stupid password and username after such a long time of not updating, i just wanna keep this blog alive to spew whatever thoughts i have.
so school's been great till now, not talking all about homework but for DANCE as well :)
Love the new Dance -- Hit Me Up by Gia Farrell.
Great great happy feet song!!
SYF was SUPERBE :) or SUPERB the former was the french spelling. got confused,
but anyway, GOLD WITH HONOURS was a gift from God. Thank God and all the teachers :)
I know this is a little late but it's a moment to live in forever, being the first and last SYF with NYMD.
Exams are over! I'm going to watch a St. Nick's Concert at UCC with trix and chia ern tonight :) Yippee!!
but tomorrow got flag day...have to miss my dental appointment again, sulks. not enuf rubber band already. I use an average of 3 pairs of elastics everyday plus some donated to ee yang.
hahax.
maths is boring.
chinese ok. english quite fun at times.
bio. funny. hilarious.
chem. stressful but realxing at times.
physics. i don't get it but still passable.
aep. david gan's nice, but he's going away for 2 weeks and will come back, no point missing him right?
french. boring but i just love the language. oral exam today :D
what else? PE. i love high jump.
NAPFA was alright, i just can't believe that i got a gold and i didn't die during the 2.4 km run!! standing broad jump gor 188. GOSH. the best ever, jiayous for whoever hasn't done it yet.
That's all for now, gd luck everybody :D

2007-03-17T21:34:00.000+08:00

Dance camp rawked :) I feel energized by it though it was really exhausting, let alone trix and i were only in a quarter of the dance. i must say those who lasted the entire dance were realy superb :D Games were fun. Eating was fun. Watching movies was fun. Dancing on friday night with all our hearts out...those old dances was such a escape from school life. now im back home. trying to do homework. it's just like when i returned home to civilisation from this ulu ubin OBS. i miss OBS too. i've written everything during the 5 days on this little diary we were given. so im lazy to type it out. yea. and it's quite personal too. So our blog is still ALIVE. for those wondering. Sec 3 is such a confusing year. I love my life and feel that I should cherish more, yet sometimes i feel at the end of my life. tired out and stressed. i love 301. the class is not as competitive as it seems. i think in everyone's hearts there is stil a tinge of competitiveness, i cannot deny it, but these friends are going to be friends for life with the fondest memories. i love them :) i don't think i have many very close friends in particular, cos i want to make friends with everyone. but i find it hard cos everyone still breaks into cliques in the end...just like different molecules just being held together with weak van der waals forces. bah. chemistry. but i like science now :) more than anything else. art and music rocks my life too. whenever i get a chance to practise piano at home, which is very rare cos of busy schedules, i totally indulge and can't stop playing. it's just so relaxing. i used to dislike piano, seeing it as part of my workload, but it's not. it's a hobby to enjoy. i feel that art is still part of my workload cos of AEP, but i sometimes wonder if i wasn't in aep, art would be my hobby too and i would LOVE it. i love art, but when i think of aep i just get headaches. Talking about dance, i love dance too, but sometimes i look forward to dance, sometimes i don't. im really being frank. when i put aside all my studies and go for dance camp for example, it really feels much much better than dance after a long dreadful schoolday. but I really thank God for giving me more life through music....dance....art...blahblah rather than just studying everyday like a mad cow. i think i will really go mad. I feel that there will be no regrets when i grow up with these hobbies to accompany me throughout my life.
wow. i sound rather philosophical...teeheehee.
By the way, Trix and I have created our own website, but we are not giving the address yet. wait and you'll see. we may never give away the address though...unless you can search for us. :D
that's all for today. see al of you lovees on monday :D
Gd night bonne nuit!
Theresa

More works!

2007-02-05T17:29:00.000+08:00

Went to take a look at three sculptures today!!
thank you mr ellis for your ice-cream treat :)
here are the pics i took:
feel free to take a look fellow classmates!

2007-01-21T17:59:00.000+08:00

it is the weekend. but now weekends seem to pass very quickly. lessons are getting more stressful... its so different from sec2. coz proposals of your projects cost you many marks and all the projects are so..demanding. and chem lessons are v. stressful. our chem teacher gives us a quiz almost every lesson. =(. and i just had a quiz for maths and i felt that i flunked it . really. i expect only 2 points out of 10. and from wk2, it has been really busy with many sia proposals meeting deadlines soon, upcoming tests, and AEP homework. like the OBS logo. we do not have class tiem to do it and its still graded! all thanks to mrs teo's idea of asking our class to do the logo. tests are coming soon. on one hand i feel that school just started. on the other hand i feel that we are going to have an assessment for what we leart till now soon (practically nothing for BIO.) argh.. never mind. coz i enjoy school life despite many projects and homework! =D
god bless everyone for this new year and hope you'll be able to cope with the stress.

2006-12-26T11:08:00.001+08:00

Merry Christmas! it's already boxing day. but anyway still merry christmas to whoever's out there. On Christmas Eve, we had CHristmas Sunday Service in Church. And they gave us this torchlight as a present. It really doesn't work on batteries, but it works on mechanical energy, i think so. We bough a turkey from Cheers and brought it to Grandma's house for dinner. We sang hymns together with mother and aunts too.
The leftover turkey bones and bits and pieces of meat were brought home. Mummy boiled the bones and made turkey porridge. (she made this last year too)After that, wewent to Vivocity to see how this new shopping mall looked like. However the carpark was full and the long queu of cars stretched through the whole road. Therefore, we parked the car at Harbourfront Centre. It was quite foolish to wait for a carpark lot in a full carpark. The shopping mall was very crowded (it was christmas day). and you can hear the noise echoing in your ears. We did not buy anything except groceries at Giant. Even this Giant outlet is so giant. It covered two stories and the shelves were so high up that I can barely reach the top.
School's reopening soon and i think I have spent my holidays so slack and so lazy... order than using the computer, playing piano and doing homework, i just stared into space or watch tv or just walk around the house. and yes, there's housework. Sweeping floor, wiping table, blahblahblah....
argh! during the hols, I feel super bored. during schooltime, I feel super busy. Why can't life be more balanced?

2006-12-19T21:47:00.000+08:00

IM FINALLY BLOGGING!
cos im really sosoooooo bored at home.
i wanna go see the Singapore Garden Festival!!
my stomach is bloated at the moment and im not sure whether i can go for dance on thurs. i mean really bloated. i caught a bad cold. so trix and terry are eating supper now and im not eating cos my stomach's filled with GAS. :(
im on hiatus, so not doing any blogskins, but i'll tell you a little secret:
I'm going to set up my own web portfolio and hopefully sell web designs?
:D
all's going well at blogskins.com i hope cos i havent visited for like one week?
and im so glad that me and trixie got in the humanities mentorship program!!

2006-12-08T15:35:00.000+08:00

wow...Hongkong trip was AMAZING :)
first day...went to changi airport at 6am and IMMEDIATELY used the free internet service...went to blogskins.com and found out i got SOTD!!!
that was really exciting!
making a powerpoint on my hongkong trip, so shan't blog about it, maybe i'll put up some pics!
i didn't get a screenshot of my SOTD, cos i was in hongkong, so nvm.
haven't updated for so long...
here are some pics!!

2006-11-18T09:54:00.000+08:00

hihi. it's the hols and a quarter of it has passed now. there's still so much to do. all the commonwealth essay topics are so ...hard. but until now i've only done lotsa housework and hwork. never gone out with friends yet. for wednesday & thursday i broke a record of not even stepping out of the house for 2 whole days. that's boring. but on Friday i went to look at the class allocation thing. at least me and theresa are in the same class...phew. with jingsquare.
anyone want to gout with us? we're quite bored till now. i haven't watched anymovies at all. I'd like to watch: Nightmare before Christmas, Eragon, and Charlotte's Web. and Casino Royale sounds nice.
Anyway i was wandering are there any movies on my flight? Yay, i'm going to HongKong, I'm going to HongKong, I'm going to Hong Kong! (It's not so far like Brittain. -- miss Jing and YiRan.) i'm flying this Sunday, and won't be coming back till 30th. It's quite Sad coz We'll miss lots of dance which is terrible. It'll be hard to catch up. I really want to go out.just walking aroung is ok. better than being cooped up at home with only cyberspace or my sis or family to turn to.
Yesterday I went to watch Terry's school ArtFest. It was q. fun. coz their school is so much more open and casual. The teachers and even principals are so funny. not too serious. and they had a disco party till ten p.m.
ok. that's about it. just saying last words before going off! bye! zai jian! au revoir!

thanks for making it such a success :D

2006-11-04T15:56:00.000+08:00

finally choral nite is over. =D stress over. =D thursday's performance was better than everyone expected! yay... coz our full dress rehearsal was a disaster. mr tang + the other teacher were q. disappointed (the former acted as if we were very gd. before.. like real, how does he know when he did not even help us during any lesson except for the last?) anyway, i think our item was on the verge of being scrapped. But actually last minute they just removed us from being the opening item. teachers say it micely, we've got too many props to handle and we'll choke up the wings! but actually i think it is more like we were not up to standard for an opening. ha. but it's ok..after all, i think everyone tried her best and we did it! everything's gone smoothliy in time limit, except for several hiccups like sudden emptiness on stage because of slow dressing and slow removel of props.. but surprisingly we were quick to changes... made everything look like it is prepared for. =D and the other 201 half was great too! at tleast all our efforts did pay off!

now it's theresa here!
go check out our new skin!

2006-10-27T17:52:00.000+08:00

ha....finally its the school hols and i once again can blog. coz' Theresa's always using the com so much more often (to do blogskins). =D dance resumed... and it's time to buck up more. there is still some hw.. (like commonwealth essay) groan. but busy is better than lazy. as in wasting time. and every year in sec shool, after EOYs, you'll have to start on next yr's SIAs. this is so impractical. We practically don't have forever free days. but now I can watch more TV and movies. =D

The exams were ok except for several bad flunks. esp. in languages. the compos suck. the unseen suck too. not theresa, coz' she did exceptionally well! actually most of the time the smaller twin is weaker, physically and also in brains. Like dance, piano, art... i feel q. depressed for dance. nvm. Anyway, before the EOYs, we indeed had much fun! I still rmb Bryan my buddy from Artists' Kids. He's very sweet but of course, v. shy. His little bro is much more hyper than him. And greedier. I had to offer my jelly to him. But still they're a cute pair!!!! And i think all of them dance very well. and they're daring unlike a lot of us.

Lastly, Theresa asks all passerbys to visit her new skin #10\\simply.dance\ Glamourous.MUSIC. BYE everyone! Happy hols!

2006-10-25T19:55:00.000+08:00

in class again, with Yiran and Guo Shu beside me writing in autograph books :)
i have one too!
it's currently with anning but she 4got to bring it larh.

The Biennale at City Hall was so much nicer!!!!!!
the tanglin camp one was not very impressive, but the City Hall one was nicer, more paintings although the installations were rather hard to interpret, but it was certainly an eye-opener a person who does not really love conceptual art :)

yea. collected badges, but only around 25.
not much, but still nice :)

2006-10-19T07:24:00.000+08:00

You Are Impressionism

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways.

You tend to focus on color and movement in art.

For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail.

You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.

What Art Movement Are You?

Went to Singapore Biennale at Tanglin Camp on Fri with fellow AEPers :)
Well, i had never known art to be SO GORY.
but at least the artists have reached their aims...
showing gory ways to kill people..i like the YOU WILL BE KILLED.
they used watercolour to paint blood..super cool.
then there was this one which condemned the death penalty in Singapore by making a sculpture of a chopped up merlion and some people covered in 3-pin plugs?!
i like the artworks better..colour field painting and the mixed media installations...esp. the room with the blue swirlies :)
very pretty!
the boards floating on the sea was very creative and i love the soccer field of wooden sculptures..very cool.!
so the meaning of the exhibition?
this world is full of violence, bloodshed and everything now is about killing, so we can stop the killing?
sounds so amateurish, but anywae it was definitely an eye-opener!
thanks mrs tan for organising this mini outing b4 the exams :)
ps. and second october is coming!

2006-09-15T19:18:00.000+08:00

rather bored now...waiting for trixie to finish bathing and we'll revise colonialism...for no reason, my 3rd and 5th skins got into top 15 rated :)
duno why, but i got like 4.95 stars? and not a full 5 stars, so yea, weird, but rather happy :)
still cant resist temptation of blogging and skinning, but im determined to study!
yeah :)
happy revising and while revising..think of 2nd october too...sounds familiar? yea, you got it! :P
for those who rmb, good for you, for those who don't, go zhuang qiang! (just kiddin larh) :)
but anywaes, we did abstract expressionism in school!
teamed up with jing2, jingying, lingxue and trix!
great group members!! :)
then we dripped, splashed, coloured, like that Jackson Pollock. he's a great artist man!! one of my favourite art movements: ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
suddenly got the inspiration to start movement: STREAKY-BLOBBISM. well im insane? yes! cos i love blobs and streaks of paint...great colours with watercolor ink tubes! and they blend together to form a kind of spectrum, blobby spectrum! woohoo! i just sound insane, yeah, probably stressed?
but will play the piano to relieve stress, keep myself going yea! and probably work on STREAKY-BLOBBISM after EOYS :)
g luck peeps! :)

2006-09-14T14:50:00.000+08:00

in SCHOOL :)
after IT lesson..doing dreamweaver!
i was stupid...walked into comp.lab one..see no teacher then go in marh, then saw all sec 3s from like the same class? and ran out (basic instinct) and everybody laughed:
gd point: brought laughter to the class
bad pt: utterly embarassed :(
but nvm...it's 2.45pm, going home on my own todae and just nice it's a rainie day. bleaugh!
bye bye...lucy zai cui wo liao...

2006-09-10T13:57:00.000+08:00

we won third for the family sudoku competition!!! :)
won 3 limited edition sudoke touch-screen sets, $300 and three trophies :)
YIPPEE! :)
so happy, im in the mood for revising but alas, still watched dachangjin, bleaugh.

and i just realised i strongly DISLIKE people who rate my skins 4.5 stars without telling me how i can improve. and they just write nice! and give 4.5 stars. WELLS.
but anywaes i dunno somehow i feel that my skins are getting lousier...
first few skins all hit 3 digit downloads, and my newest skin has a 1 digit download of 9. rather upset. but ive got lots of comments :)
but some stupid comments as mentioned above. very pissifying, but thanks to all those who rated my skin and gave me tips on how to improve yea? :)
and i hope i wont run into people who rate below 4.5 stars and dont give any comments.

so fast it has been a month from the Esplanade NanYang Glitters...=) it was so fun to be able to go backstage of the concert hall coz the rooms were so cool and huge..(but small for 50+ pple). And the toilet was nice too. I loved the time on stage doing water ballet looking at the round round lights. feels like it's falling on me. However in the room, I got burned by the starlights..so stupid sittin' on the table and lean my entire back on the lights. nvm. TingYin and Samantha got burned too...
Then on 25 Aug we went back to the concert hall for an SSO performance..got 2 complmentary tickets from symphony92.4FM! and we had the stall seats for "The Spirit of the Romantics". Very nice...I liked the 3 slavonic dances most. the one in c major was our duet concert piece in febuary! and now it's played by a whole orchestra!!!! :))))))
piano exam is finally over and we passed! :)
female examiner was suppeerr strict! failed my debussy arabesque :( really sad cos that was my fave.
trixie did better than me by 4 marks! and she just reached merit!!
it's sad we have never got a male examiner since grade 1. hahaz.
pray that it will be a lenient examiner for diploma! :)

2006-08-28T20:13:00.000+08:00

Sabbaticals...yippee after all Advanced Photoshop & Math in Motion did not sound appealing but are rather appealing! =) Photoshop is v. useful...the advanced techniques are very cool...it is an eye-opener to see how the techniques are used to create v. special effects! So sad sabbaticals end this week...Math in Motion is ok. I like the choreography we did as a group yay... although it was very short coz we had problems. And we were kinda slack. the song was a little too long though..but the teachers were nice. =D Symmetry, Translation, Rotation...all those were fun. =D. And for our solo ... i was down FIRST> scary. coz Ms Yeo said she'll start with a modern dancer...and someone shouted "caroline.." and therefore Ms Yeo thought it was me and she told me to go first. funny.... but it was fun! working with 202 pple...=D yay!

2006-07-28T12:57:00.000+08:00

haha...piano exams over already... it was q. bad coz the examiner [always a female] wanted to rush off for lunch. =( and she was like rushing us throughout the whole aural part of the exam. Before us was a harp player. a little boy but v. high grade. and the harp is full-sized taller than him and the whole family took v. long to bring the harp in pack the harp out... =D very cute. it looks so angelic. My 2nd song was the worse coz i stopped and repeated a bar THRICE!!! AND THE ENDING ARPEGGIO WAS ALL WRONG..THE 1ST TIME I SCREWED up everything in this horrible manner. sobz. =( (i juz realised it was caps lock throughout.

After tt we went to Pastamania (we're at Funan) but i didn't really have the mood to eat.

2006-07-16T19:21:00.000+08:00

Nanyang Food & FunFair

2006-07-01T17:14:00.000+08:00

hmm...at last everything's over... all that preparation is still worth it for todays's FUN. =D. Ice-Ball making and syrup pouring was very fun too... that made lil kids like Leny's sis and ChiaChia's sis come and help out in shaping the iceballs. The people tending to the stall were very helpful and cooperative and everything...yipppeeee. but we only had 11am to 1pm to walk around...we + Quek played many games but we didn't go to the haunted houses...coz the queue was long and the pacman thingy too. The House of Chocolate was v.cool with tables and everything..and their choc fondue combo was nice. v. filling too. The Orea Milkshake rawked! it was so milky and cooling although it looked like cement. We cannot judge a book by the cover though... not forgetting our ICE BALLS.... it was very memorable!!!! selling and shouting. i think the business was rather good and PROSPEROUS. =) and we sat the viking too...i sat on the top my own and i knew i outgrew this mini ride coz my legs cannot be straightened..hahas. we had real great fun! the food and games were very nice... although i didn't have so much time. and i missed the talentimes. they CLASHED into my shifts. bye...after the day's work it is really tiring...

2006-06-28T20:58:00.000+08:00

school reopened!!!! the june hols passed v. quickly..but i managed to do quite a lot of things...=D esp. watch movies...beit in cinemas or on TV or DVD. =) I watched CARS and X-MEN III...both are v interesting. The former at GV Plaza..and the latter at Bishan GV. GV rox coz their tickets last the longest..compared to Cathay/ Eng Wah etc. thei tickets grow yellow and fade very fast! haha. Cars was very cute..I watched it with Twin1, Terry and my aunt. Terry kept arguing and pestering to go watch Garfield coz he's sick of 3d cartoon. but i thought after i attended claymation, i was more interested and appresciating towards these kind of animations. takes time and lotsa patience. yep. X-Men 3 was super violent..i preferred the second sequel. But it was nice overall. my parents decided to save money and didn't go in with the 3 of us. sad larh..not really a family gathering then.. but we had lunch @ delifrance together.. time for school again and at the end my schoolbag still got stained with lots of blue oil paint (hard to wash off!!!) both inside and outside....call me lazy to wash it...i'm sad it'll leave a rather permanent effect...=(
nvm. bye..coz i'm going back to completing the AEP cubism assignment! happy doing AEPers......

2006-06-27T20:15:00.000+08:00

ooh..it's like one post per month. groan.
school reopened...food and fun fair...COME SUPPORT OUR STALL!
delicious ice balls and funky basketball..ok. not really funky but hopefully will earn money and make enuf profit :)
im rather excited...looks like food and funfair is going to be fun after all :)
it's a rather nice feeling to be back in class...love 201 better now :)
sort of miss the messy fuzzy atmosphere of the cockroach-infested class. hee!
in a gd mood today.
though there're really many SIAS uncompleted.
and a new one coming up.

2006-06-06T08:13:00.000+08:00

it is v.long since i posted. =) last week was the 1st and most busy week of the June hols. I'm SAD to miss dance practice for both 2nd June & 5th June. feel so HARD now. this schedule was so packed:
29 & 30 May : Digital Photography
It was so fun! I love taking photos...with the school's Canon A95. groan.it has so many more functions than the one my family has. But learning so much more abt the camera is indeed very worth the time and money yarh. Coz u get to be with yr friends too. and we walked to Bugis Junction for lunch. =D (coz its in Midlink Plaza). The 2nd day was more fun. even though i had to rush off to somewhere and missed the practical time @ Singapore Art Museum. sadly. However, we were supposed to meet at Bugis MRT control station. then everyone was super early...and we walked around the entire place..to see Leny at McDonalds. then everyone gradually sat down at mcDonalds. it was still way before time then. And Mrs Tan was there too. at the end, only poor SunRan was left at the MRT station. ha.
30 May - 2 June : Church retreat at Holiday Inn Batam
It was a v. fulfilling trip! Very nice hotel in Indonesia. I love taking the ferry...actually it's my first time. But the trip was short---45mins. And the meeting rooms for workshops and messages were very cold. The food there was very nice too. =) and the pool too. however we did not swim coz we forgot our swimming costume. sigh.. and so our free time spent everyday was at the games room playing table tennis..and watching my cousins play billiard.

2006-05-26T16:18:00.000+08:00

Sabbaticals were rather fun larh
esp. storytelling but i sucked at public speaking :)
Did this draw-and-tell story titled One Man's Treasure although it was mroe like a paste-and-tell cos me, yiran and leny used coloured paper shapes and pasted as the story unfolded.
teachers were nice too :)
trixie's story was also draw and tell about a Santa Claus :)
very cute!!!
Lucy's group won. their story was ultra creepy :)
can't wait for next term's sabbaticals! it would be muccccchhhhh beter!!!
but i kana into maths olympiad....wana join chemistry and stained glass :)
but there's still a few months....more work to worry abt!
sigh...hope i have a relaxing holiday! you too!
with love!

2006-05-20T16:04:00.000+08:00

Hey! yipee...coz exams are over. =) sighs... at least SIAs are over too except AEP!!!!!! nvm. that is the most fun SIA until now. =D many things happened during the exams and SIAs. After sports day, Hui Suan + us + Yi Hong went to Taka. and tangs to survey the market for ice shaver and stuff for our FunFair. v. Fun! However Caroline, Xin Yi and Yi Hong went on e bus w/o us!!!! but we still reached there earlier than them! Throughout the shopping, Carol and Xin Yi ended up separated with us in KinoKuniya...haha. coz they were juz playing and messing around with each other. sure they didn't have the idea that we're coming for some business...then there were only 4 of us left. visited artfriend and creative hands...where the art shops are! so nice! we headed for Plaza Sing. after that...wasted so much money on bus and MRT fares...groan. run here...run there...all over Singapore. However, this wasn't too bad. A mth ago, JingYing, Hui Kin, Jingjnig and us went to the EA to gather info on Eurasians, then at aroung 5pm, we went to Jurong Library to research on AEP and Maths SIA! From Ceylon Rd...flew to Jurong! East to West. =( get back to my post... ok. we also took NeoPrints so fun! YiHong and HuiSuan are v.nice pple to hang out with! =) Luv. ya. although I might not be v. close to them. =)

2006-04-27T19:55:00.000+08:00

Hihi everyone.. it's the 1st post of April. has. OM is gettin' into shape! Yesterday we juz presented our OM presentation to the sec2s..some felt lame and some were discouraging... but two one was so supportive! =D loveeeeees. 201 rox!~ It was juz so encouraging...rmb HanQing and others shouting at us! =D so encouraging. nvm abt the failure tt day. yupz the knut came out it really went NUTS> but its ok. everytime we present sth cork up... but through some experience, we did not stop. did some last monute changes... because of the gone-haywire vehicle but i think the celebration at the end saved it. coz even though we played e wrong track...we did not stop and marched on the spot..v. long but neva DETERRED>.. jia you!!!!!! prove to those pple we can lah! through our everyday stay back thingy. geez. but still got so much other SIAs, hwork. hee. stressed.
The French students from Lycée Français de Singapour visited NYGH for two days! so sad its only 2 days...but I think they enjoyed it! My buddy is super nice and friendly! Her video skills and drawing and English are gd. She made a speech during Fri.'s assembly. =D v. bien. bon. She is Thais. And Theresa's buddy is Julie. And YiRan's Betti. However Andres.. I think he went to another school lah. of course not Nanyang. haha. Ok. bye.
