yeah, u can find a friend to go with u if u want...u can join us too..dun think my fren will mind. niwae, u can email cmf@nkfs.org
 
yay i love pe more and more cos i can at least hit the tennis ball liaoz..haha
i keep hearing the ad on tv with the song "sway" and i think of dearest nichole!!! all the fun times we had and the funny names we called each other...but i lost the old contact list, so i cant contact her...anyone got her email, pls tell me :)
 
i'm still really distracted this week..*pulls hair* i hope to really start focusing!!!!!!!! eve and i say we will go watch hse of flying daggers...that shall be my motivation to work hard for the new wk *takeshi kaneshiro* hahah
we have new deco in our classrm!! we pasted a lot of photos on the wall...reminded me of the cute kids at service learning..tho some were unbearable...haiz..thinking closely, sch's coming to an end really soon...awwww....so gonna miss it....surprise i'll miss sch :) mainly due to the ppl and just the place itself brings back lotsa memories.
 
i was just thinking abt how much i've changed since pri sch...like in a totally different frequency...well, i feel at least. pri sch shapes the fundamentals and basis of ur morals while in sec sch, i think it's the experience and also the absorbent period,....ur mind really takes in a lot. also the decision making stage.
 
taking NE quiz tmr...rmb we were doing in pri sch in the comp lab...oh...ph is almost done..the exterior. painting is almost done...*surge of nostalgia* i miss the old bldg

mindy and i decided to do sth meaningful with our lives, cos her bro's fren died of brain tumour. so we hope to volunteer at the NKF children's fund during dec hols. sighz...the frailty of human life.
 
went for the fashion parade rehears. total waste of my precious time!! arggh..any sane tcher wud noe that we cant afford to spend so much time on unimportant stuff. i'm desperately looking for scrap fabrics but the class ain't giving any response *faints* except a few...and i've got this totally cool new idea *beams*
 
chem pract today involved so much heating!! and the lab wasnt exactly very cool so our sweat was pouring..like eve says "xia yu" (raining)...i love chem pract for the nice colours, like copper(ll)sulphate *beams* woohoo...emaths test on wed...hope i can pull thru the 2 topics...i have been really slack the past wk, so i'm going to concentrate this wk, meaning using very little comp :) *curbing the urge to use the net*

i got stung by a bee yesterday!! it was on my head!! and i thot it was a drop of water, since it was raining. so i swept it off and uit stung me..i went to sch and got the rcy-s to help me...haha, it's fine now *phew*
i'm so gonna miss my sisters when they are gone!! though sometimes i feel that i can have more freedom that way, sometimes i also think i will be real lonely.
well, i read yining's blog and i thot her case was really similar to mine, like my mum thinking that my dream job is one that has no future and is low-paying...but tht's not true! i mean, yeah, things can be risky, but u have to try it first b4 u even give up that thot. however, yining, u MUST have a backup plan, for practical purposes. i dun think parents are so easy to convince!
 
haiz...emaths and chi tests next wk...hope i can do the emaths one properly..there's so much to rmb..*bleagh* i realy pity 404 cos mrs C took them for orals and they got ultra low marks....so sad! glad i got hals. for mine-- he's quite lenient.
tmr got pe again! yay! hope it doesnt rain. oh, i have already planned the things that i will do after my exams
 
1) Shop till i drop
2) Burn all my books and worksheets!! (ha, we thot of having a barbecxue fire from burning bks!)
3) tidy up my place
4) find an internship with law firm or fashion company (exciting!)
5) figure out how to do my own blog template
6)write xmas cards
 
*wow* i really hope i can do all those already....how many more mths to pull thru?!??!??!!?
 
 
32 days to prelims
(to remind everyone to start if u hafnt!!!)

orals was not (that) bad at all! niwae, racial harmony day rocks totally...our class was so fun lah, nearly everyone wore saris *pays tribute to our roots of the muthusamy family* yeah, so as expected, lots and lots of photo-taking sessions and we were sad to part with our beautiful saris at the end cos it's probably gonna be the only time we wear it...till god knows when. our class won 3rd for the concert, so we have this neon coloured mech. pencil each. *claps claps* well, but thot prev yrs were more interesting, with the henna paintings and all
 
argh..mental block..wanted to say sth, but forgot...(ha, even for blogging)
 
chem test tmr...hope for the best!!
haf u read the commonwealth winning essay? it's good..no wonder huh? choir photo-taking tmr! well, apparently the choir enjoyed the exchange with the american choir. said they taught them line dancing. well, i think exchanges are fun. well, when we had exchange with acs(b) earlier this yr, there were ppl not knowing how to play whacko!! vei and i were quite shocked! i mean,...i thot it's a very orientation game...and they took quite long to understand...does tht say sth? *rubs chin*

oh man....it's orals tmr...*prays hard for a good pic* but i heard mr halsall is a nice examiner...
time flies!! another wkend gone!!
 
Mean Girls was really really nice! Kinda like a typical teenage chic flick, but it has substance! I encourage all girls to watch it...it really takes a girl to understand some of the emotions involved, and we understand the bitchiness better :). our row was luffing so loudly!! yah, so moral of story (meaningful) is tht being cool or popular really doesnt matter -- u will not feel any happier than before.
 
sis wanna use the comp..so write again tmr? maybe :)

yay!! it's wkend! but tmr early in the morn, there's eng lesson. not exactly the most pleasant of all things to see HER face the first thing in the morn. oh wellz..there was this percussion grp that came to perform at assembly today! quite cool! with all the cuban, indian, brazilian drums and perc. instruments. and it was xiumin's first time conducting and her hand was in a hamster like position...haha, she looked so blur!
 
heard this song  'Say Something Anyway" by Bellefire..thot it sounded quite nice! haiz...i'm so behind my plans...been rather distracted this wk. so i really hope to finish the stuff i have delayed this wkend..sounds ambitious? hope notz.
 
u noe wat? 9 works out of 12 selected from our sch won prizes and commendations for commonwealth essays!!! how cool is tht!! and there was this sec 3 gal who won the top prize for category a i think..and won 500 pounds!!!!!!! u noe, if i have tht kind of money, i will go and buy a violin! and fulfill my violin dream!!
 
yay, my nose is getting better, almost there..my orals are next mon...*shudders* i dun like the pic description cos i jus dunno what to say!!! haiz.i guess i gotta get going..cos i've lesson tmr MORN...URGHH,,,rob me of my wonderful sleeping time!! but oh well, think we watching a movie tmr..mean girls? not too sure yet

eve and janice came up with this really brilliant business idea, inspired b the keychain on janice's pencil box- to design slippers (flip flops) and brand is Funky Flip Flops (F cube)- Slip it on. haha, quite fun, then i 'freelance' for them. the 2 of them are always up to sth...well, but i think this is quite a feasible idea actually.

i am disliking eng more and more...for obvious reasons... wanying feels tht way too! hah. oh, racial harmony day next wed *excited* but nxt day got chem test...

School gave us this limited edition 'RGS tin' as a souvenir to commemorate the inaugural of RP this yr. It has a mini t-shirt tht says raffles,'04 and shoelaces, which arent very nice. But nonetheless, i think its a wonderful gift! haiz...i'm starting to feel sad abt the final farewell...everytime i step into sch, i will wonder, how many more days are left, when i can step into this sch gate. sch kinda sux in some ways but when u leave it, u really start to appreciate it...human irony

oh yah, eve and janice (up to some mischief again), they keep on holding ktv sessions, with songs ranging frm teresa teng, to the corrs, to ou de yang, to jay chou, in the middle of lessons...with eve's self-replay ou de yang song. time to learn new songs!!

i'm 3/4 way done with Da Vinci Code. It's exciting manz...but it's against Christianity.But, well, can take it from a speculative perspective i suppose? i wud really love to see the art works they mention for myself, and see if what it says is true.

oh, i have decided to start this 3days per wk of surfing plan. to prevent myself frm surfing unnecessarily. *beams* time to gear up for prelims!!!

43 days to prelims

my nose is killing me---------------------
sighz..everyone's falling sick! haiz, on my way home today, there was this chao act cool guy..ACb one...wah..i was walking quite a dist. behind him mah, then he probably heard me walking, then he turned arnd..so he knows i'm behind lah. then he very shua xin ge and act cool, conveniently threw this pc of litter on the grass..i wanted to tell him "not obvious AT ALL". as if he purposely litter in front of me liddat...weird. but the world's full of weird ppl

mtg the new comm tmr! *happy* to pass on stuff to them, and educate them, cos our seniors didnt give us any tips etc, but well, it's gd tht we had the chance to figure out stuff on our own.

yay!!! finished weathering summary! prelims are SOO near! my eng orals are nxt wk *shudders* it's so scary to know tht JC entrance is based on this...

ahh..nothing much to write abt ...heez..nxt time

my dad drove past the half done Pei hwa bldg. it's so tall..like a mini concrete jungle. gone is the wide open courtyard where we had morning assemblies and PE lessons, and those big steps lined with pots of bougainvillea..aww...i really miss pei hwa, the ppl, the tchers, even the bldg! haha

went for the law career talk and the guy was saying the pays were how high..but tht's not the main pt. but i'm afraid it's not for me...argghh...hate thinking abt all these..

kinda lazy to blog more, so yeah

had career talk for CLE jus now...went for entrepreneurship. tmr's law. i'm considering law as a second option cos the chances my mum will let me do fashion are like 1%? so i'm quite looking forward to the talk tmr. it's complicated to think abt ur future...so dun think unnecessarily...haha.

downloaded the song the sec 3s used for the farewell video. very moving song. "Our farewell" by Within Temptation.

the class video is finally finished!!! pei and i have watched it over and over for a few thousand times..haha. but very happy with the results..now we r so pleased with ourselves. oh, bond has got a new album..haha, hinted mindy liao..up to her to take actions *beams* quite pleased with the geog test..well, i made this summary of crustal movements which i am very proud of! was so motivated.

looking back on my past yr, it has been wonderful, magical, almost surreal. i've learnt so much this yr working with the choir and my perspective of choir has changed so much it's shocking...but i am really glad the tchers and the prev comm gave me this chance. really, it has been a great chapter in my life.

getting late, so am leaving this short and sweet :)

had farewell jus now and cried so much. the juniors made this video/ slide show thing that was so touching..to me. even though there were jus pictures, it jus brought bakc so much memories. i think the literarily stepping down thing was quite funny...mus be debbie's idea. it feels weird to see the new comm. cos not long ago, it was us who were in their position. i think our term had been exceptionally short, cos our concert was so early in the yr. and i think i'm in a state of denial or delusion...sometimes i wud wonder if i was really part of the comm. 'was'. tht makes me feel sad. i am not too sure why either. maybe i feel that our term had been too short and i'm not ready to part with the choir. it's funny how my feelings for choir undergo such drastic changes within a yr. jus ask sharon and mindy abt my complaints the prev yrs. i cant believe it...4 yrs jus flew past like that.

the sec 3s organised this toilet treasure hunt thing. well, quite creative but not very organised...heh. i got lots of stuff frm the juniors but i lost this slipper keychain thing and i am feeling really sad :( and my rm smells of steph and siying's the body shop strawberry soap
. when we were singing all those trademark songs, i had this sudden realisation that it may be the last time i am singing those songs and i was just so overwhelmed. i STILL cant believe we have stepped down and handed over to the sec 3s...wish them all the best and hope they continue to bring the choir to greater hts.

went to fran's hse yesterday in an attempt to complete the class vid...and it failed. But niwae, she lives behind the sch, at this condo with an air con lobby and lift that stops right outside ur doorstep. how cool is tht. and, her key is her finger. there is this finger-print censor that she uses to open the door. the deco of her hse was rather javanese, asian style. with lotsa (my fave) dark wood and frosted glass. Lots of her dad's paintings too. oh..and pei and i were both staring at her plain silver dior..DIOR photoframes. well.what can we say? it's a rich men's world

i mus record down this significant day...ahha, well, it's the blackout :)i was doing work halfway and it was pitch dark and i was really really scared cos i was alone upstairs...then my mum started shouting from downstairs...well, at first we thot it was our hse power trip, but realised that the whole estate was dark. i am so glad i had been smart enuf to keep a torch upstairs, ever since last time, when there was a trip, my mum refused to look for the torch and on the mains and jus waited for my dad to come home to do it..my mum was kinda ridiculous lah...cos the blackout cut off her conversation with her fren, so instead of like lighting candles etc, she kept trying to call her fren thru her hp...and i suppose the system was busy...yeah i was wondering, is a call that important at that time? so i was the one lighting the candles. well, it's really sad to not have any lights! i gradually enjoyed the candle light *beams* but my area's power got restored in arnd 20 mins. my dad immediately filled up all the torches with batteries.haha. oh, my conclusion, handphone lights are excellent!

ha, xinyi, wanying and steph set up this "buddy system" to call each other before the match tmr morn (port. and holland) starts..well...soccer doesnt exactly matter to me, so i wun sacrifice my sleep to watch it. niwae, i'm so proud of myself!! i was so motivated today i finished what i had planned to revise *beams*

yayy...tennis for PE tmr again...i like it, well, more fun than soccer. niwae, both my sis are not home tonite, so i am sleeping with my parents. rmb last time when i was young, my parent's rm was the only one with air con at my old hse, so every sunday, we will sleep in that rm together..so fun

I like the book "The Grass Is Singing", though a lot of ppl hate it. I think it's very meaningful. There's so much for us to learn from it. hyb was suaning me abt my bowl haircut when i was in pri sch, and well, i cant deny my past rite? so i thinking...if ppl dun acknowledge their past or they dun face it and learn frm it, it will come back to haunt them one day, jus like Mary turner. It's a great book...so related to life -- escapism.

i am quite slack lehz..*guilty* using net every single day...hope to kick this habit SOON..was on friendster-adding-spree jus now

arghhh..chem pract wasnt tht great after all...it was zinc carbonate and i put calcium carbonate cos there was still ppt...SIGHZ *sad*

niwae, was discussing with chen yu about the national day design thing and we failed to reach an agreement...but i dun blame her...cos art and design is a very subjective thing and ppl really have very different opinions...but i wish she wud understand tht it's a competition, not a glam runway show...sighz.
hope it turns out well..if we ever win anything for it, it will be a real boost to my morale and a great affirmation for me. and i will add tht into my portfolio. gotta thnk jas for her idea :)

first day of sch was alright..well, cos i slept earlier than usual..
structured study was ok..but knowing our class, it was very noisy, so i moved to the next classrm...and it didnt seem to be very effective..i mean, i can do more at home..but oh well...hope it all benefits me! it gotta work for my 2nd sem or i can jus bomb my Os

sighz

phew...mocks are over..chem pract was goodie good for me, amaths was ok...
it's the first time i feel so dreadful abt sch reopening!!!!life's soo hectic, so fast paced, it's really hard to get a time to really sit down, rest and just stare out of the window, watch the clouds..tht's sth i wanna do man...so free tht i can jus stare into the sky.
i am starting to miss choir days and working with the comm. it's been a really fun yr and it totally changed my perspective of choir.
haiz, am chilling out here...kinda..after mocks, so really slacking today. haiz...i really dunno how many million sighs i can sigh abt sch tht starts tmr..............

am racking my brain over what to write for english essay - choice of 2 topics
"Making the most of my qualities" and "My Story"
.....
HOW TO WRITE!!!!!! such questions are totally *pulls hair* i really cant crap for essays lor..

physics mocks over....and it sucked. oh well..hope for the best. i ought to see some improvement..or tht wud mean tht my hols have been crap. i cant believe tht sch's reopening.
btw, tht stupid spammer is back on mavis' site and i am SOOO proud of my reply. and i'm really serious abt it..go check it out juniors...there mus be some screw loose..somewhere
oh, got the stuff mindy bought for me from thailand..pleased with them. i totally slacked off this afternoon reading my bazaar mag that i feel guilty abt buying -.- but well, there's a magnetic attraction between fashion and me

i'm thinking abt those days when my 2 sis wun be arnd and i'll be so lonely..well, with my mum but still...haiz..hope i wun slack at that time..knowing me.
we were eating at scotts jus now and our deeeaaaarest janice ate soooo slowly. dunno how she can ever change that habit and she was feeling guilty and said she wud send the half finished food over to the starving children in africa.
well, i'm really glad i am born in my family..i cant imagine what i'll be without them and all these we are complaining about (school, food, money)...there are such secondary and minute problems, compared to those suffering children...sighz, but human beings can never be satisfied with what they have :)

the hectic sch life will be back again..the waking up at 5.45, dragging myself into class, sitting thru those boring and dry lessons (english!! *screams*). haha, and of cos entertainment by our dearest wy..she's so amusing. and i am so going to pester her abt BAG...hhahahha. she's so adorable *grinz*

wednesday was the funnest day of my whole hols!!! we went mad at the bowling alley and i bet we were the noisiest lane, though our scores were the lowest...and can u believe it i striked once? sam nearly fainted and we were laughing our heads off....it's a very different feeling i get when i am with sec sch frens and pri sch frens...with pri sch fren's, there always seem to be a touch of purity and innocence,jus pure joy when we are together :). ha, lcy and i were reminiscing the days of our five-stones competition...*beams*. and sinyong was so annoying with his never-ending chatter but he's very funny actually, with his amateur magic skills that zhaoting saw thru. had lotsa fun that day.it has been the only day that i totally relaxed thruout the whole hols..
and can u believe it? sch's opening like in a week?!!?? i cant imagine having to go to sch early in the morning...i really liked the hols cos there's a lot of time to myself to consolidate the stuff we learnt and really prepare for Os...i cant wait for this to end...and the structured studying thing will start...*pulls hair* but after it all, i'll be going for HOLIDAY!!!!! yeah...my dad said it would probably take us arnd 3 weeks to finish our whole tour..and the weather would be cool *dreams*
sometimes i wonder why my sister who is so smart can have so little "lifestyle common sense"...it really gets on my nerves at times when she's so childish and not understanding. thing is she's 3 yrs older! wonder how she's gonna make it living alone...

i was just at mavis' site and i have decided to come and write abt this. there are spammers out there insulting choir and booing the concert..(suddenly feel patriotism) and i retorted "what we get from choir is spiritual fufilment, friendship, stronger respiratory system, memories of a lifetime and voices probably greater than urs"
i sure hope that whoever reads it....what's the point of insulting other ppl's CCAs? and seriously, we dun put in our effort and time for nothing..it's all these that we work for..at the end of the day, great memories and spiritual fufilment..really.

hoohoo...tomorrow's the day!! finally can go out and have some fun with yining and gang. by the way, i mus talk about this...i usually drink coffee but in rather small amounts (less than 1 cup) and it never really had a "waking up" effect on me. So i conveniently forgot that and drank one whole cup during dinner. And i went to sleep at 12 midnight, which i consider quite late, but i jus stared into space and my mind was perfectly clear. i was thinking " wow, i can do maths problems now". and i guess it took me around an hour to fall asleep..so i was a bit dreamy in the morning..and i felt so dumb..
niwae, i see my sis researching on all the London stuff and i think that it's a really beautiful city, and a great place to live in...i would love to stay there for a few yrs in the future!
min's back frm thailand and she bought stuff for me *beams* cant wait to see them...my physics' kinda screwed cos mocks are exactly one wk from now and i still have lots of topics to finish -sianz- i am soooo looking forward to the day after O's and i will go and shop every single day..having been deprived for so many months..
occasionally i get this weird feeling, cos i somehow still cant believe that the concert is over...it had been such a main event that my life revolved arnd but now it's no longer there! i think mugging does this to ur brain.
was reading felneo's blog and it really brought lotsa wonderful memories from pri sch...i was really sad they had to tear down the old building... and i regretted not taking more photos last time

i feel soooo extremely guilty...cos i have been so slack today..i can count with the fingers of ONE HAND how many things i did today...sighz...trying to do lit, but cannot make it..not concentrating
my sister's fren went for s'pore idol and got thru audis..cool...u know, asians gimme an impression (this is called generalising) that they can sing better than those ppl at americal idol audis..excludes Will hung. i feel sad for him, cos i think many ppl are jus out to 'toy his feelings'..i think the world has EARS...like, he cant dance, sing and looks dot dots, and not that i'm be superficial or shallow, but he doesnt even haf the substance to be a SINGER......and ppl are making this whole big fuss abt him, i feel sad for him..cos it's not real..he cant sing..he's not famous (the u noe type of famous).one day he will realise.
oh was blog-hopping jus now, and like i linked 4 ppl within 2 days..shows how much i blog this wk...shall redeem myself by abstaining from blogging and unnecessary surfing for nxt wk..
oh btw [felneo] i forgot i added u ..hahaz. i got classmate fel also, so address u as fel neo *beams*
niwae, sth happened yesterday...and i was so totally disgusted, but i'm ignoring it...
so sad sch opens on yining's and mandy's bday...*sighs* then cant go out and celebrate. u noe, my bday's so sad this yr...i rejoice every yr cos it's always after final yrs...but this yr *haiz* janice and i shall have a swell time together (after Os -.-")...my bday mate
oh, i saw this really nice slipper at j8 yesterday...dunno shud buy notz..wait 4 mindy to come back and see wat she bought for me first.
wonders if i can get humans scholarship i mean like my results are UMMMM.....sighz...going for emaths tmr..*yawns* and i think i will cut my hair tmr..*excited*
oh...isn't it pissifying that harry potter and frens are younger yet richer than us? haha, and they have more interesting lives too
