Back to school

It's the first day of school. I actually wanted to wake up earlier and go to school earlier so I can have more time to mingle and catch up with one another but whoops I woke up late... We're not gonna have assembly for maybe a week, see what happens. 599 cases in Sg , we're an AFFECTED COUNTRY!!! This is real bad. Heard that there was this female who got it yet took the MRT , during peak period. TSK TSK luckily I wasn't there... Sg is so small, I would be surprised that we didn't become an affected country. Maybe people shouldn't keep finding cures. Instead find a way to stop mutation. NO CCA. How is our immune gonna be up? The Spanish flu I just read about was so scary. Up to 100million deaths. The virus seemed to make the immune system overreact and autopsies performed on flu victims revealed that the lungs were BLUE and SODDEN. They DROWNED to death... School actually felt nice. Very homey. I borrowed a VCD. Think it's called "remember April"

TIME

Wow I'm really strtin ' to like TIME a lot. It's a magazine which comes every week and most are about 52 pages long, including advertisements, so I don't have to worry about not finishing in time for the next issue. The only "boring" thing about it is that sometimes they repeat the same things but by different journalists. It's more of the world stuff and analyses things such as the recession and political stuff. Not too businessy like the Economist (and definitely not as long). Sometimes it talks about nature such as endangered species. The animal pictures are really cute. I actually realize I like reading about people so when they talk about the world's inspirational leaders I would be quite interested in the article. Besides the news articles, there are recommendations for places of interest and good reads. At the start it may be quite hard cos of the lack of background info but after a few more weeks accumulating more knowledge about the world I r

To B

That day was as fun as the day I spent with you! OMG can you imagine if all 3 of us were there? Actually Haiyun also really wanted to go just that she's in China. Haiz Haiz Haiz. Abt the XOXOXOXO, it's cos I have urges all the time and that time it happened that I wanted to XO u. LOL don't think sick cos writing is very different from the real thing. It's just a form of expression. (You must b "YA I KNOE". Yes I know you know:)) HahA! And I wasn't mean that day. I didn't make C feel short. I think it can make you feel sad, what I wore, cause I wore a dress and u missed it. HAHA. Her mom came in at the last part. LOL you must know how that felt. Do you know C's father used to join singing comps? C also went K boxing at night with her parents. It's so exciting to know more about our class which has so much diversity!!!  About the studying, I didn't exactly study. C did some of her chinese book review but I only read through my IH lit review n

Enjoy

I went for "class outing" today at east coast park. 3 people including me turned up. 15 out of 35 replied Y. Some said they were sry and couldn't go cos they had to study. I hope they like what they do. Maybe at this point some may not but people change and people may realize how fun it is to study. Anyway what's the point of doing something you don't like or even hate? Studying may be good for us, especially in Singapore where elitism is unavoidable. However there are many things in life that we shouldn't miss out, which may shape our other talents. With dreams anything may come true. Becoming a lawyer, doctor, actor or singer, the list goes on, is definitely hard but as long as we love what we do, nothing may feel hard and nothing may be impossible. However exposing ourselves to things in the world is important as it is how we find out what we really love.

Cheeky Monkey

I just came back from CHEEKY MONKEY! I don't know how many outlets there are but I went to the UPPER THOMSON one. It's kind of a restaurant cafe, which sells crepes- savoury & sweet-, soup, waffles, salad, cakes, sandwiches, hot chocolate and other drinks. They really know what's good in their cafe so look out for the "yum" signs in the menu. The prices are quite pretty as well, though, arnd $8-$10. Hey but it's good food! Actually it's very reasonable since people go there for dessert and main course so sharing with a friend or two will make your stomach feel more comfortable after everything. Don't mention the sinfulness. Many of their savoury dishes would have mozzarella cheese. With mushroom their dishes are great. The receptacles are pretty cool as well (including the one for your bum). It's a nice place to dine-not to mention Duffy's cute voice playin' as their background music-, with humble waiters serving you.

Don't expect the expected

O.o Those who had gone to affected countries are gettin' Leave of Absence (LOA) from MOE, just like what I suggested. What I hadn't thought of was the online learning package. This way we could have the extended hols without the postponing of sch term. However school is still safer since we're not all scattered everywhere so everything's organized and we know which group of people would get affected if there was a single case in that particular place. Whom on Earth knows who went to the shoppin' centre? Maybe they have a way but I don't know...That would be a scary thing. No one knows who's gonna hav a higher chance of being that one out of the many cases of H1N1. Sometimes it's good not to expect something or something to happen. This way when the results come out we may feel happier, if not feel nothing at all. These work for both good and bad expected results. If the expected result is bad but we don't expect it, we keep doing it and once the resu

H1N1

The school's cancelled all CCAs and camps for the last week of holiday. I wonder if it will be the last week of holiday. I think I'm gonna sound like a hypocrite since I want the holidays to be extended but I think it's a bad thing. Plus without CCA (sports) we can't keep our immune up so it may be easier for us to get sick. And it's the holidays when the number of H1N1 cases shot up so extending the hols may not be a good thing. Cos not many people really care. Shoppin' centres are still open and especially during e great singapore sales people flock to all sorts of places no matter how crowded they are. Wow what a great way for viruses to spread! {shucks I'm gettin' SO SARCASTIC!} Maybe those who hav gone to affected places should just get quarantined by e gov and those who can go to sch/work just go. It's a way to keep people safe since they can keep "boredom" away and in a way be too "tired" after school/work to go any place e

Almond ice-blended

(I must be nutz~ postin' so much in a day.) {Nuts ho heh so nut urgh!} HAHAHAHA p taught me that:p Speakin' of nutz, almond ice-blended is not bad, provided you like almonds or you'll find it weird. They use powder instead of syrup but I don't think people sell almond syrup. Ice+almond powder+water+basic syrup+pearls. The pearls from sweet talk don't have any taste, just the texture. I love the chewy kind of texture, not too hard nor too soft. Mmmm! But I like the starchy taste in certain pearls I've tasted before. Actually I don't even know what starch tastes like. Just that there's this slightly sweet taste in them which I think comes from the liquid that comes with the pearls. Haha I really don't know where that liquid comes from...Yup beware it's really unhealthy unless they use the real powder (but too much almond drink which is made from the real powder+water ain't good either) so don't drink too often. Which goes the same to all bu

Schedule

J ust saw the email Mr Ang sent us, askin' us to update our wiki. But really, what am I gonna write there??? (seeds:p) I've just cut my hair. Actually ytd and ACTUALLY I'm not that happy with it... It's scattered and I prefer my own handiwork though it's screwed as well. Maybe I'm not too used to symmetrical stuff. Or maybe more of, I hate order. And that leads me to my topic. Shall roughly plan what I'm gonna do next week. It's fun in the process of makin' it but most probably I wouldn't follow it. (我喜欢随心所欲)[Haha I passed P6 chinese in the facebook test.

Urge

hehe I'm tryin out a new font! But actually I don't like such rounded fonts. ARGH! Change...  Hmm... Hmm... Hmm...Ok this is cool for blogs! Urges. Whims. Shoppin'. That's what we did yesterday though we didn't buy anything. But we ate cheesecake at bakerzin. There was 50% off. I realized that they'll have a different flavour every month with the 50% discount, I think. Oh Em Gee... Urges to eat are really cool. They can decide things for you really easy and you won't regret it if the shop is right. (I wanted to say smth but I decided I wouldn't be mean) Another urge I just had was to write about ytd but now there's no urge so I've decided not to. Yay I finished my IH part. Urges to do homework are just GREAT. Now, after writing so much in this font, I realize how spacious it is here and I HATE it. Times is boring.. . Oooo... Shall just change the size (and colour). (Eh why is georgia the same as courier?) Hehe the urge: ` 1234567890-=~!@#$%^&

Bonding

~After VB training~Haha. Instead of using the time to do SIAs which I have plenty, I went out with T, C and Y for lunch and dessert. Udders, mind the meaning, is where we went for dessert. I shared a double with C. I chose rum and raisin and C chose strawberry fusion (if I'm not wrong that's what it's called) while T and Y shared and they had bitter chocolate and earl grey (I can't really remember if that's what they're really called). Udders is really generous, not only in their servings but in their ingredients as well. Richest/strongest ice-cream I've ever had. Can you imagine how strong the rum is in the rum and raisin ice-cream? Thus try out the ice-cream before buying it. Also I suggest sharing so that you don't get too sick of one flavour. However, I think I can eat as much udders rum and raisin as they had:) But that's my own opinion. Not everyone loves rum or raisin or both after all.  C left then we went to the MRT station to decide what el

Criticism

I think that's what humans are meant to do. Humans are naturally judgmental thought schs are telling us we can be nonjudgmental. But in our hearts I think we know what we like and dislike. Anyway I personally feel criticism is how the world improves and develops. One of my favourite critics is Simon Cowell. He's straight to the point and frank and that's what I think is most important. However the down side of criticism i that people may get really angry and hunt down that critic. If it's only a little tantrum, criticism come all you want! But we don't want things to get messy do we? So the chinese always say "fan ke yi luan chi, hua bu ke yi luan shuo". I would love it if the world were as harmless as a baby or if everyone were as liberal as could be and accepting to opinions.  But in reality where do such nice things come in? Haha ironically I'm talking about myself. I'll throw my tantrum if I get criticised. But whether I'll listen it would

OBS again

After reading my frens' blogs, I've realized how much I lack in descriptions. That was kinda random cos I just wanted an introduction to (aberden) what I'm writing later. I just realised I survived OBS on 3 long-sleeved shirts, one shirt which I wore there and then lost there after our kayaking session, 2 track pants including the one I wore there, plus all my sun protection including my hat and body sunblock, both which were lost there as well, and also my sunglasses which were broken [one of the arms broke of] while carrying the kayaks and keeping them back on the racks. How dumb. Who carries their sunglasses around while carrying kayaks around? I couldn't even find the broken arm so that I can at least buy a little screw to screw it back to the main body. Furthermore I liked that sunglasses... I borrowed prickly heat from Y so it wasn't so bad on the days we couldn't shower. I think our group was the most helpful since we helped the other group carry ALL thei

MON and NOTHING

I feel like I did nothing for the hols...nvm actually no cos I did the survey, smp and I dunno what else. hehe. This morn I had vb but we only got to play 4against4 since there weren't enough ppl as the guys didn't come. After training I went to Bishan North and J8 for my lunch and went to the library after that as tuition only started at 3.30. I met D in the library doin her cip and started talking to her. I'm quite confident she was gettin bored tho she had a book in hand. After that I went to the third floor and picked up a book to read. Ended up sleeping and a librarian or volunteer there had to wake me up. Before that another helper asked this couple to not cuddle together cos it was a library, which is a learning environment and thus discourages bg-relationships. I went for tuition and auntie J gave me an enormous chocolate eclair. First time seeing such a huge one! Stayed for a while in her house playin with the hamster. It's really fat and chubby and really real

MP attachment

Today was the first day of our MP attachment. Though we were only supposed to start tomorrow, we were asked to start today with the house-to-house meeting. It was quite fun, especially with frens, but I couldn't hear what Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon said in the units. Thus the rest of her team told us about what she said and what she was gonna say. It was about the issue of the lack of lifts at every level and about the selling of units, also related to lifts since the value of the unit rises when there is a lift. I also learnt that the value of HDBs don't really rise or drop despite the recession. After the visits we helped with the buffet at the coffee shop and we ate our lunch there.  Actually LJS's breakfast is quite tasty. I had their french toast set, before my attachment, with B. B only had coffee.  After the attachment we went window shopping. I didn't see anything I liked tho. We were at city hall so we ate yoguru. OMG that was great! Then I wanted to take bus home. W

Influenced

I am at this point in life very influenced by loads of ppl. Obviously Adam is one of them and I think the media helped him to influence me [and i guess a lot of other ppl out there]. Shan't say how. This is kinda lame. B influenced me to post cos I think she writes quite well and it motivates me to write as well! haha. I think people from OBS influenced me a lot too. In a way sort of similar to how Adam influences me, or maybe OBS sparked his influence on me, so that I realize how much more there is to my own life. Not that I'm not happy with it but just that I realize how much I will regret if I had not known these things and applied the ideologies to my life. Not that I have mastered any of them. {lol obviously not, since it wasn't so far back when I went to OBS or when I read Adam's interviews or heard him sing.} Kayaking round island is such a great feeling. Especially the last part when we finally reached our destination! 

After ObS

Went to watch movie and got a hippo. He's Henri:) Terminator was loud. Terminators are scary. I found it Ok only...

I'm Back

from OBS. It was an itchy experience. I'm itching like nutz now. I was itching for Adam as well. Something that I'm irritated about is that during OBS no one bothered to lay my bed sheet...  Day 1 was really introductory. Waiting is a very tiring process. Sadly, we waited quite long for the boat to bring us to ubin. The atmosphere wasn't right. But the games May sZe played with us were fun. We talked a bit about what we expected and afraid of and I said I was a little afraid of the height elements and I expected it to be exciting. A few others also said they were afraid of the height elements. Some are afraid of dogs and yes we saw huge dogs. Some of us saw the dog grab the bags of don't-know-what's-inside and bring it away to its lair. It looked nerdy. I think that was on day 4. We unloaded our stuff, sorted food, ate lunch, brought out the camping stuff from our stall, checked and folded the tents, checked and filled expedition bags with clothes and food and final

Up Up And AWAY!

K no i'm not going anywhere "up". But I'll be away from next mon-fri cos of OBS... I'll miss my soft toys:) today I watched night at the museum 2 but it was ok...haha I learnt that Amelia earhart flew across the Atlantic. the ppl in the movie kept thinking it was the pacific that she flew across. And the middle of pascal's triangle(the pyramid) is pi. After eating shilin for lunch we kinda rushed back home cos I had violin lesson. Rested on the bed for awhile and ended up sleeping till 4 plus...oops I did it again...but really, I was really tired... 40min late for violin class! I kinda dun feel as if I'm making music anymore...just noise...:( I'm havin muscle aches and I think it's making me tired as well...the following week will be the start of VB trng...I'm not even enthu abt it cos there may not even b ppl to help us train...I wonder how the previous sec 4 seniors(when I was in sec2) trained without much ppl. Not fun at all...k I'd bett

murdered vegs

The fridge is so cold that now I eat frozen apples:) they're a little wrinkled but they're really nice. Tastes a little like sorbet:p I wish I could dream forever. Cos in my dreams I don't have to care what people think of me. In real life I don't really hav to care about that either but the problem is, I have quite a low self esteem, so I think a lot about what other ppl think of me. Y am I saying this? Cos I'm having crazy dreams of becoming a singer. They can wear nice clothes and wear cool make up and make crazy voices and ppl still worship them:p As compared to becoming something that ppl in my class will most likely become (doctorXD) singers seem a lot more exciting. well i will never know what their lives are like until I become them...OH! How I wish things were easier. I've actually just realized the setbacks I've experienced...Hmm...so sad and depressing...hmm...can't believe i'm posting this...

301 outing

K box... B how? Nobody seems really interested except us and C... today's training was good at the start. I started with bars with C. Haha tho here "C" is exactly the same name, it refers to another person instead of the first "C". I have 2 blisters. I haven't gotten blisters in a long while:0 hmm... I've been talking a lot lately... but I still don't know how to bring my point across in a short and sweet sentence:( then next we did beam. Beam is a little slacker but I felt tired doing the stuff. The last part is the worst cos it's PT. We're actually really lucky cos H cut a lot of the stuff though I still feel the effects. The bad and "good" thing is that there's no trng for 2 weeks straight...It really bad cos all our efforts will kinda be wasted. It's not all but it's enough to make me feel bad...it's like we've just gotten the rhythm and it's broken just like that. Look how much we cut: 3 sets became 2 se

Adam's songs

mad world play that funky music one crazy crying is anybody out there come home a change is gonna come we are the champions boundaries (lyrics are a little funny) ring of fire slow ride whole lotta love black or white (i can't get no) satisfaction kiss and tell born to be wild tracks of my tears

blurblur...

=.= I can't even tell the difference between am and pm! But it was a good thing anyway or I would have reached school at 9.30 assuming my trng starts then instead of 8. So lucky me, I didn't really waste too much time. And luckily B was up so she could tell me that i'm blur:) After trng we went to coro and I drank so much bubble tea even tho they weren't great:( the milo at mac was nicer. Went there to meet my fren and we did quite a lot, I guess? I w8ed at the bus stop for quite long, not that i didn't intend to, and finally finished my time magazine. I'm starting to like it more and more. Broader perspectives seem like a nice magazine. Didn't order it the other time so maybe I can borrow it from my frens? We stayed there till arnd 6.30 instead of 5.30. But 2 hours is not bad! Later talked about k boxin. hope it can be organized quickly! I don't really wanna do anything today but I have to finish my japanese script and japanese online work or they'l
