This blog is rather dead isn't it? With all the bad memories filled in it, I feel like leaving this blog alone. Well, I started another blog on http://www.wordpress.com/ and I'll be concentrating on just writing in it. Maybe I'll add pictures to it. Or videos. Someday.

Valentine's Day Rant

2009-02-13T14:07:00.002+08:00

I came to school today surrounded by pink balloons, blue roses and brown chocolate cookies and muffins. In the hands of the girls of course. Can you imagine a guy carrying all that? It looks as though this or that girl had lots of admirers though her presents were from mainly girls. Hahaha...

This happened few days ago:

The amazing headphones

In the evening, I suddenly realised my headphones were missing, so I was like frantically searching in the pockets of my school skirt inside the laundry basket, but obviously I couldn't find it. So a week past by. While I was folding my clothes, my mother gave a great shout. She found my headphones! Soggy and wet. This isn't my first time getting electrical devices ending up in the washing machine. Still recall that time pri3 SARS period my thermometer didn't survive the trip. I wonder, "Is the headphones going to work?" To my surprise, IT DID!!! Sounds clearer after a wash. Smells nicer too. Still can use it to call home.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Saturday..after camp..

2009-01-24T15:30:00.002+08:00

Feel so much better after a night rest...

I feel I lost connection with Singapore after being away in Malaysia for 5 days.

At home my favourite chinese new year goodies has been eaten up.

I haven't read the newspaper yet. Nor the comic section.

Tonight is my family reunion dinner at Lemongrass.

And I've totally forgotten it until this morning.

Tomorrow I'm going back to JB for paternal reunion dinner. 3 days trip.

I should have gotten off the train at JB train station.

Check out more about Temasek 2009 Resilience Camp by clicking here!

Yea! I'm just baaack from camp! My arms and legs still look worn and tired, so many mosquito bites and skin not as fair as before. :( I was really happy that my sister and her boyfriend managed to pick me up at the railway station at noon, the camp has left me feeling rather exhausted. Now to start my informal reflection.

1st day

Whole day was spent on travelling, switching buses, and then travel again. Could be my second or third time taking a bus to Malaysia, although on family trips the bus seats were more comfortable. A little behind schedule, we arrived at a rest point at noon instead of our lunch point. And it was so crowded! Like all the pupils swarming here and there, getting tidbits and snacks and even some bought chicken rice b'cos they were hungry.

Then later around 2pm we arrived at Pelangi Hotel, Segamat. The buffet was fairly ok..and it was the first meal to start off with curry chicken. After that meal, it seems the meals which followed after also have curry chicken. And the drinks they served..I wonder if it's Sarsi or A&W Root Beer, it was so warm that all the fizz was gone and it looked like black liquid. It was also on that day I realised, clean toilets are not common in Malaysia..

We took a long bus journey to Jeram Besu for water activities. Journey not that bad, the bus got TV and DVD player so we watch 10,000BC on the trip. So engrossed I wondered if we're on holiday or we're going to camp. As we were behind schedule(again!), we pitched our tents in the dark, so many torchlight were used on the campsite. First time I pitched a tent! And the girls around me kept screaming "INSECTS!!!" I don't get it, why can't they ignore them for once in Pahang. Tent moderately comfortable b'cos on grass, but the grass was very wet in the morning and somehow the tent got wet even with the waterproof covering.

2nd Day

We sang the national anthem and the school song in the morning. Without music playing, we sound so monotonous. So appreciate the national anthem and school song with music playing. Maybe partly first time sleeping in tent didn't sleep well.

After breakfast, which I ate very bland porridge, we headed for the rapids. Started off with 3 elements of water confidence. First one was easy for swimmers but not so for non-swimmers. We just need to float along the current. ONE thing about the water. IT'S BLOODY COLD. Like swimming in refrigerated water. Second one was scary. They brought us to a cliff and told us to jump off the cliff into the rapids. Look so dangerous!! First girl to jump off. Might as well get over and done with. Third one, they capsize the boat. I fell on top of my friend who can't swim.

After that, we did water rafting. Sounds easy, but it's not. Rapids very bumpy. One of my teammates fell overboard, it was very lucky she didn't hit any rocks behind her. The funniest thing that happened next was the 2nd instructor guiding the boat also fell overboard. One thing I learnt after this experience was teamwork. Without teamwork, our paddles would be useless if we tried to paddle without co-ordination.

After lunch, we did flying fox and river-crossing. To my disappointment, it wasn't as fast and as high as the one I experienced at P5 camp @ Jalen Bahtera back in primary school. 10 second ride. River-crossing was rather hard in a way because of the strong current. Caused a lot of people to let go of the rope halfway through the river. I was crossing the river with another guy who claimed it was his sixth attempt. Show-off eh?

So after the water activities, we washed up. Again, I don't understand why girls take so long to bath. The moment a girl step into the bathroom, a few seconds later the next girl in queue would bang on the door demanding the girl inside to hurry up. It's already hard enough to keep clean in Malaysia, so a bit of dirt wouldn't harm much right? OK I'm a girl myself I shouldn't insult my own gender, but their screams are annoying. Luckily the shower water wasn't as cold as the river water.

Went to the gift shop and bought a souvenir for 5RM. I bargained from 6RM to 5RM. I good right? Know how to bargain from observing my mum.

We took a bus to Kuala Tembeling and then a boat transfer to Pasir Sia. It wasn't as dark as the night before so we pitched the tents in the setting sun on beach. Very sandy. The tent's interior was full of sand, so my tent mates flipped the tent over to get rid of it. After dinner, the teachers gave us bad news. There is no washroom on the beach!!! So they made makeshift toilet, which was just tent covers as walls and you just pee on the sand. Disgusting. Appreciate clean and available toilets in Singapore.

3rd Day

The dreaded day! Cycling 52km from Pasir Sia to Teman Nagara!! I remember watching the Malaysia scenery dashing past me while riding in my father's car on the trip to Grandma's house in JB, but this time I was cycling through the scenery. The up slope which seems a piece of cake for my father's car was a terror to my bike. So many up slopes! Walking up an up slope is tough, but pushing a bike up slope is even harder.

Thank goodness for the many interval breaks, if we one shot cycle 52km end of the journey surely die of dehydration. Didn't eat much during lunch break, I ate a few spoonfuls of fried rice and left the chicken in the packed lunch. Ate the mandarin orange they gave us though, was really refreshing. Should give us bananas, bananas give more energy than oranges. I guess oranges quench thirst better than bananas.

Whole lot of cow dung on the road. Too many to count. And they stink terribly. Have to take extra precaution while cycling. You don't see cow dung on Singapore highway don't you?

I put a lot of sunblock lotion, so my skin luckily for me no sun burn. Everyone around me seemed lobster red.

The last 8km! Everybody cheered when the teacher announced we're down to the last 8km. But another bad news. The last 8km will be the hardest 8km ride we ever seen. OH boy, he was so right. Two long uphills! Keep pushing the bike uphill like there was no end to it.

End up butt very pain.

After a nice cold shower, we took another boat to another beach opposite Canopy Walk to pitch tents. Again no toilet. Did I mention there were a lot of stars in the night sky? There were so many it was impossible to count. Very pretty.

I survived cycling 52km!!!

4th Day

Wake up feeling very happy. No more sleeping in tents. Won't say tent are uncomfortable but my bed back home was better. After breakfast, we took a boat to the island across the beach for the Canopy Walk and Bukit Teresek Trekking. When we reach the jetty, there was a massive flight of stairs waiting for us to climb. Tiring! 100m worth of stairs to climb.

Then we proceed to the canopy walk. It was exactly like the canopy walk @ Australia but Australia was much wider and the Malaysia one was much higher and thinner. So scary!! Like the planks are going to break anytime. The signboard says the rangers who take care of the canopy walk check them twice daily for safety so it shouldn't be a problem? I asked one of them how many he went through the canopy walk, he couldn't remember but he still alive and kicking. One of the rules is not to run on the canopy walk and not to sway the canopy walk, even we're not doing that the canopy walk was swaying by itself. So high!!

Next was the Bukit Teresek Trekking(looks like Temasek to me). Due to the fact my group members started late on the Canopy Walk, we also started late on the trekking. In Singapore, Bukit Temah got stairs(or is it slope? I can't remember) to climb, but this hill has natural roots and soil for stairs instead. So I kept tripping over the roots of the trees until the guy behind me got worried I would fall off the route. By the time we reach the top the rest of the other groups were already climbing down heading towards the jetty. They kept saying up there got 7-11, plus taco bell and KFC. Rubbish sia, where do they get the supplies? The top has a very nice scenery of Malaysia hills. When we went back down, the other Faster group(there are 2 Faster groups, I belong to the latter one) was trekking upwards and in return we lied that there was 7-11 up there at the top.

Wash up, then we took another bus to Jerantut Hill Resort for dinner and to gather the Sec3s from the 3 groups, Faster, Higher and Stronger. Everybody meet their friends from other groups and began to squeal and hug each other, what for I dunno. I made a new friend though from the first Faster team.

After dinner, we gathered in the hall to watch videos picture PowerPoint about ourselves 5 days ago and ourselves now. I guess the teachers are expecting a big change in us. Well, this is called the Resilience Camp, so all of us had become more resilient?

Almost 11pm, they gave out prizes for really random stuff, from the most helpful teammate, to the most encouraging cheerleader, the "Tarzan" who can conquer all odds till the one who has the worst sunburn, the 10-seconds-scream girl, straightest hair girl and the mischievous guy who buried other people's sandals in the sand. Also got complain king and complain queen. Hahahaha.

5th Day

LAST DAY!!! First time I ever took a train back home from Malaysia to Singapore. Thought the train would come at 2am but no, the train came at 3am instead. Made us wait so long, I fell asleep on the platform. Got woke up by a guy telling me train come but later realised false alarm. My classmate looked rather uncomfortable sitting on the floor, he said that back in China, they don't sit on the floor in the hall, they took chairs from the classrooms, arrange them in the hall and sit on chairs. He also added we must protest against the teachers to allow us students the right to sit on chairs. Well, we Singaporeans have been sitting on the floor in school since kindergarten and primary school, so we don't feel all that odd and moderately comfortable sitting on the floor. Finally when the train came, we quickly got onto the train, pick a seat and went to sleep. A lot of bugs and roaches.

In conclusion, I wouldn't say the camp was fun, partly because of the annoying screams, and bathing in cold water I've done it before during my stay in Grandma's house so it wasn't new to me, but the camp was definitely an experience for me, because we're put through situations we will never experience in Singapore. Water rafting and cycling 52km under the hot sun with those uphills and downhills, they taught me how to keep strong and endure all odds. I also learnt more about my friends during the camp, about their strength and weakness in certain situtions.

If given a chance to go back to Pahang, I'll definitely take it.

Believe?

2008-11-27T18:51:00.004+08:00

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

Golf

2008-11-10T09:52:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, my parents brought me to Marina Bay Driving Range to hit some golf balls.

I wasn't too keen about it. I mean, how fun is it to use a metal stick to hit a ball to see how far the ball could go? No offence.

Speaking of golf.

http://www.callawaygolf.com/Global/en-US/TheTour/StaffPros/Justintimberlake.html

Justin Timberlake has reached an agreement to endorse and play Callaway equipment.

Callaway hopes that by doing so, the profits they earn will go up by 1000%.

He's a pretty good golfer actually, seeing that his handicap is 6 and Tiger Woods' handicap is 0 (the lower the better).

Speaking of Tiger Woods.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/tigerwoods/3105456/Tiger-Woods-recovery-could-take-two-years-Golf.html

He's not going to play anymore golf for the next two years isn't it? He have to recover from knee injury.

That shouldn't be a problem really, he has earned the most prize money in his career out of other players. One magazine predicts he will be the first sports star to earn a billion dollars by 2010.

He doesn't even need to work, he has enough money to last for a few lifetimes.

Telepathy

2008-11-09T11:36:00.003+08:00

There was once I watched this documentary about twins being able to read each other minds. Just being able to know what in each other minds is cool enough, but being so far apart and still able to do it is rather incredible.

In the documentary, one pair of twins claimed that when one of them came back from school, she was singing the same song as the other twin who was reading in her bedroom. Another pair of long-lost twins had the same likes and dislikes even when they had been separated and had never met each other for 30 years.

Me and my sister seem to have some sort of mental connection between us.

Like at random times we would be thinking of the same song. Like the other time I was thinking of the "Gaston" song from Beauty and The Beast in my head and suddenly she sang a line from that song.

Quite recently, at lunch yesterday, when I finished my meal, my sister asked me to do a favour for her. I told her no, because I already know what she's gonna ask me to do. She dared me to tell her what she's thinking then, but if I told her on the spot, wouldn't she change her mind and tell me to do something else? SO I made her type her request into her phone text message and place it face down on the table.

I asked,

"You want me to buy otah for you is it?"

And what she wrote in her note,

"Please help me buy 2 more otah."

Then she still say I guess wrong. Because I didn't specify how many otah she wanted me to buy.

-I dun find housework hard to do. I just hate the outcome of my fate. I've to redo all of them all the time because the pail of water wasn't dirty enough(which *means* I didn't scrub every crook and cranny of my bedroom properly) or the pail of water was too dirty to wet the cloth in.

44. In case of fire, what are the items in the house that you'd grab if you could make one quick trip?
-If the situation above ever happens, I should know by then.

Life in an enclosed bubble.

I got a new bedroom. Why I say so? Because my bedroom looks completely different from the one I had during the first 10 months of 2008.

One thing that has changed in my room was the poster of Death Note's Misa. Why that poster is hanging in my room I don't really know. I'm not a great fan of Death Note because I only watched the anime episodes until Ep.25 and watched the first installment of the movie series and read a first few chapters of the manga.

BEFORE

AFTER

The consultation fees charged by the doctor was ridiculously high.

$80 just to see the doctor!!!

Well, he is a specialist and he doesn't come by the clinic that often, only three times a week. The patients would have to visit the other doctor who is available at that clinic every day.

But his consultation were..how to put it in words...rather eccentric.

LIKE: "A table, a chair, a bed and nothing else in the bedroom."

That sounds like a PRISON CELL.

So now my bedroom is completely cleared. All my SEC1 and SEC2 textbooks are all gone. At least now, I can forget the bad memories I had attained from the first two years of secondary school life. FAREWELL. But wait..how do I revise for O'Levels if my textbooks are gone?

PLUS:

No more public transport.
No more housework.
No more sports other than swimming.
NO MORE PETS IN FUTURE
I'm required to use only the brand of soup he gave to me. For the rest of my life or until my condition improve.
A WHOLE lot of tablets and many small containers of cream. Like I'm a sick person down with SARS or flu. I'm not even ill in first place.

Actually, those advices above weren't exactly for me to follow. It's just precautions for me to take so I won't need to see him in future. No wonder the bill was so freaking expensive.

My mother got a bit furious when the doctor mentioned I should avoid housework. Mother was going, "No, she must do housework at home!!" but the doctor replied he doesn't want to see me in future.

He even went on to ask me what occupation I would like to take in future. But hey, I'm only 14, I have no idea what I wanna be when I grow up. The doctor said I couldn't do jobs like engineering or mechanic work because it require me to use my hands. Working behind a computer is fine, but only working on softcopy, not on hardcopy, as hardcopy requires the use of hands to link them together. My mother replied "Psychiatrist" (that job have to do with mentally insane patients!!!) while I said "Psychologist". The doctor actually smiled and say, "Good, you only need to use your jaw muscles."

His last advice was the most strangest advice I ever heard in a consultation.

"Grow up, marry a rich husband, and ask him to get a maid for you to do housework."

My teddy bear is taken away from me. I'm gonna be lonely at home for a long time.

Shopping(continued)

2008-10-28T22:28:00.006+08:00

OH yes before I forget.

Fourthly, I got a new pair of earrings!

Ever since I pierced my ears on Boxing Day, the day before I watched "KING KONG", I've been on a shopping spree to get new fancy earrings, but I guess that feeling had already wore off. I lost my favourite pair of earrings while at the hairdressers (that's why I dun like cutting my hair) because while the lady comb my hair, my hair got entangled with the right earring and it snaps off and got lost on the floor (you do know at the barber/hairdressers they have lots of hair on the floor, how do you find one tiny earring?). I lost my second favourite pair of earrings at the sea while snorkeling, bitten by sea-bugs and watching massive wild turtles.

My mum complained that the earrings I always buy are too small for anyone to see. She said, "You damn funny one, your sister buys big earrings like the star one and then you go for small ones that people cannot see." Sigh..even what I wear for earrings is commented on.

Anyway, the new earrings I bought were small silver roses.

They sorta remind me of Belle from "Beauty & The Beast". I like her best out of the Disney Princess because at least she's more practical and smarter than the other Disney Princesses. And she not a princess to start off with, she's just an ordinary girl whom everyone called her "a most peculiar mad'moiselle". She fell in love with someone with a good heart, not like Snow White who sings "I'm Wishing" inside a "magic" well for her handsome prince and gets "One Love" in return.

Belle PWN Snow White

Late Dreams

2008-10-28T21:37:00.006+08:00

I have this weird dream for many nights in a row, whenever I woke up after dreaming, I would break out in a cold sweat and immediately check the clock, then heave a sigh of relief. The dream's setting always take place in the afternoon, when I just happened to glance at a watch or a clock and then I realised I had skipped CCA or late for CCA or completely forgotten there was a CCA practice scheduled for that day.

I think I have almost a clean record for not being late for school/lesson/tuition. Well, with minor crimes committed accidentally by me.

Like the time I was late for Chinese tuition and I missed the spelling test that day.

Another time the school bus refused to come. So when the bus finally came, it was time to sing the national anthem in primary school. When we (students who takes the school bus to school) dashed up the staircase to the hall, some pompous school prefect kindly reminded us we're late for school and we're not allowed to enter the hall. So this huge burly schoolmate who sits in front of me in the school bus told the prefect rather rudely the school bus failed to pick us up on time. So this prefect had no choice to let us through. Lucky no punishment.

And one time I lost my sense of direction and end up in Punggol instead of Pasir Ris. Late for a project meeting but just in time for supplementary class later in the afternoon. Sigh..up to this day, I haven't really got back my sense of direction. Maybe I don't have it at all.

So anyway, back to topic.

You know how fairy tales always say "Dreams always come true"? So I was rather freaked out that it happened today. Not I was wishing to skip CCA, but I actually forgot to attend the Open House Rehearsal. DAMN. So I'm feeling really guilty now. Since my dream came true, I hope it won't happen in future. Sweet dreams.

Today's Lunch

2008-10-28T11:19:00.000+08:00

Hotdogs float and Meatballs sink.

Shopping!!

2008-10-27T15:48:00.005+08:00

Today's shopping was great, because I bought stuff I really wanted(see Saturday, October 11, 2008 post)!

Firstly, I got a new handphone running pouch! Even daddy's super-wide phone could fit in the stretchable pouch, so my wide phone also can fit in too. Although with some difficulties with the earpiece attached.

Secondly, I got 2 mini-skirts and 1 shorts. The shorts were grey while one skirt was pink and the other skirt was also grey. There was an offer at Ocean Paradise, saying something like "Buy 2 get 1 free". I'll be wearing them at the class chalet this week.

Speaking of class chalet, I'm not sure if they will contact me about the location and timing of the chalet although I already paid up the BBQ fees. Isn't it tomorrow? Perhaps they're gonna assume I'm not coming because Michiyo refused to go to this chalet and I might copy her. Well, I've never been to a class chalet before, since my class is organizing one, I might as well join in the fun. And this time, I'll be free, unrestrained and untrammeled. I don't really know if the class treat me as one of them because of the company I hang out with, but during 2008, in the blank where the class name goes into I had always wrote 2/5, the same as the others, so whether they like it or not, I'm still their classmate from 2008.

Thirdly, I got a new sling bag! It has a lot of compartments(I like bags with lots of compartments) and the best thing is that the bag is black. So when it gets dirty, it's not so obvious. But somehow some white chalk dirtied my new bag when I was transferring stuff from the old one, I got a shock. Sometimes, the best plans don't work out at all.

After this blog post, I'm heading back to my old hometown Pasir Ris. My family is invited by our ex-neighbours over for dinner. Maybe the women are cooking a new recipe? It's kinda weird whenever I go back to my old block, every time I pass by those familiar gates, there's this odd feeling of sadness seeing my old home occupied by an unknown stranger. The place where we used to park our bicycles is replaced by fortress of shoe racks. The wooden swing we used to have it's not in its original place. I guess I missed the times back in Pasir Ris.

Since I'm back in Pasir Ris, I might as well give Joey a surprise.

I'm not about to repeat the same mistake as last time.

Great Eastern Women 10K

2008-10-26T13:57:00.012+08:00

Today was my first time taking part in the Great Eastern Women 10K 's 5km Fun Run.

Probably the last time too, considering I won't have time to jog on Saturday mornings next year due to CCA practices. Damn it, why does he have to abandon us for another school? The new conductor was OK, he can karaoke well enough..but he use the word “帅哥”and “美女” too often.

OK back to topic.

I never exactly jog 5km before, because one round at Bedok Reservoir Park was only 4.3km long. I didn't bring my handphone along, I was scared I could get lost within the crowd, so I stayed close to my mother. There were over 5,000 people participating only in this 5km Fun Run, so you can imagine how many MORE participated in the 10km Competitive Run. The crowd was like, amazing, with so many women in the same area. By the way, the run was at Padang I think. We're surrounded with famous buildings and landmarks like Esplanade, Singapore Flyer (up close, the Singapore Flyer was HUGE!!! And it was MOVING!!! Rather slowly. From far, you can't really see whether it's moving or not.) and the F1 Pit Building.

Here's a map.

And the crowd.

Super Trouper

2008-10-23T16:55:00.019+08:00

Super Trouper

Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
Like I always do
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

I was sick and tired of everything
When I called you last night from Glasgow
All I do is eat and sleep and sing
Wishing every show was the last show
(Wishing every show was the last show)
So imagine I was glad to hear you're coming
(Glad to hear you're coming)
Suddenly I feel all right
(And suddenly it's gonna be)
And it's gonna be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Facing twenty thousand of your friends
How can anyone be so lonely
Part of a success that never ends
Still I'm thinking about you only
(Still I'm thinking about you only)
There are moments when I think I'm going crazy
(Think I'm going crazy)
But it's gonna be alright
(You'll soon be changing everything)
Everything will be so different
When I'm on the stage tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

So I'll be there when you arrive
The sight of you will prove to me I'm still alive
And when you take me in your arms
And hold me tight
I know it's gonna mean so much tonight

Tonight the
Super Trouper lights are gonna find me
Shining like the sun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Smiling, having fun
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the
Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
Like I always do
(Sup-p-per Troup-p-per)
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you

Last week of school

2008-10-21T16:47:00.002+08:00

I'm glad it's the last week of school.

I don't need to see trouble again.

Wait.

Aren't we in the same class next year???

Damn.

Results

2008-10-21T16:21:00.007+08:00

I obtained the highest score for the Design & Technology exam out of the Sec2 cohort, maybe along with others who had the same score as me, but really, I can't be proud of it even I want to.

Design & Technology, according to others, was a waste-of-time subject and not even included along with other core subjects and many people had replied, "So what if you're so good in D&T? You're still so stupid/lousy/retarded/idiotic/lazy/dumb in other subjects that require you to pass to get into streaming."

Yeah I know I haven't done enough in my other subjects..so at least allow me to be happy for the fact I could get an A1 for my D&T?? At least I could say I've got highest in class for this subject because my classmate didn't do a good job constructing a model. Some were so small that it occupies the surface area of your palm. To save space maybe? For easier packing? When the model should be 30cm by 30cm by 30cm the most.

Question: If you see a wild lion, do you go forward and pet it? Always asking for trouble.

I'm not getting back my windmill.

I want it back.

Just arrived in Singapore. Really tired. Grandma's homegrown organic vegetables was great. No mosquito bites this time. Overslept in the morning. Water was cold. 3 bags of chili for a chicken. Peaceful visit. Realised the front door is always open in the daytime. We don't see that in Singapore do we?

Paper Dolls

2008-10-13T14:40:00.008+08:00

Decided to design some ugly paper dolls today.

There is this paper doll's hair colour that totally crash with her blouse.

I turned it reddish pink to match her outfit in Photoshop.

Doesn't look any better.

Here are some of the better looking ones.

Some dolls are repeated with different designs.

Believe it or not, the two girls below are actually the same paper doll.

Shopping in the City

2008-10-11T19:27:00.016+08:00

Haven't been jogging for the past few Saturdays so it was rather weird to wake up early today to change into jogging gear.

We arrived pretty late today, most of the time my family was the first to arrive but today we were second to arrive. Hongwei's mum & dad were already there waiting for us.

I think I met Nicholas Ong at Bedok Reservoir Park today. I wouldn't be able to recognize him if he weren't wearing the red "PASIRIAN" shirt all the P5 students wore to the 2005NDP rehearsal. He used to be in the same group as me during our P5 Adventure Camp. Otherwise he won't even exist in my life.

Are you able to recognize your ex-schoolmates/schoolmates from your previous/current school if they weren't wearing anything related to school? If you can, even if you dunno them personally, do you wave and smile back at them, if you too weren't wearing anything related to school?

Century egg with shredded meat porridge was mighty big for breakfast today. Should have shared the bowl with sista.

Mum brought me out shopping today. She say if I spent too much time at home I would go crazy. Think about it, I feel I've already gone crazy, so there's nothing much to add on. I'm seeing the sunshine at last but......shopping??? I'll be indoors again. It was extremely cold too. I wish I had brought a sweater. Walked pretty damn long too, it's even more tiring than jogging 4.2km, my legs feel damn sore now. No wonder my mum is an impressive walker.

I really wanna a handphone pouch for running so I can stop holding the phone while I listen to music and jog, I'm scared I would accidentally drop the phone, and BOOM there goes my phone. But the thing is, my bloody phone cannot fit in any handphone pouch. The stupid earpiece just happened to be situated at the side of the phone, so with the stupid earpiece it makes the phone impossible to fit in any handphone pouch. WAHHHHH...

I need a new bag too. The small NIKE sling bag I've now, the zip get stuck in the cloth all the time and it's beginning to piss me off. I found a really nice glossy mocha sling bag, but somehow it doesn't look right so I gave it a miss.

My parents attempted to persuade me to go with them to the temple for a meditation class. I'm not ready for enlightenment yet, let me enjoy my *evil* doings while I'm still young first before searching the meaning of life. No offence!!!

So I managed to break free of their clutches and rushed home. OK that wasn't the case, they allowed me to go home to buy dinner for my sista.

I got totally disgusted on the MRT trip back home. When I entered the train from City Hall, this bunch of guys went in and sat down at the door entrance on the other side. Honestly, doesn't their school or parents teach them about basic courtesy?? Considering that they are teenagers, which means young adults, obviously they should know it's not polite to block the entrance. If they're toddlers, at least they would be smaller and they wouldn't block too much of it.

You know, if you enter the train heading towards Pasir Ris from City Hall, the next station after City Hall, the doors will open on the other side of the cabin, where the guys were sitting. I wanted to laugh out loud when the train slowed down at Bugis, the guys realised their backs were facing the entrance and quickly fumbled to stand and make way for the incoming passengers.

They were also daring, I must say. At Paya Lebar, two guys from that bunch rushed out just the doors closed behind them. Lots of swear words was heard from them too. Thank goodness they weren't wearing their school uniforms, or else they would be ruining their school's reputation in public. Sigh...

Anyway...

I got myself and my sister a breadou each from Action City!!!!!

Breadou fake breads are made of polyutherene (PU) and air-brushed with layers of paints. They look very realistic and each bread has a chocolate smell!

They were packed like real breads as if they're from a bakery shop.

Happy Emoticon Bread Packaging

Breadou "love me honey" bread packaged

:) Emoticon Bread. Looks like real right??? Smell damn nice too, chocolate smell!

And the Breadou "love me honey" bread seems tasty and real enough to eat!!

I added the tag for decoration.

The fake breads not only can be used for display purposes, but also can be squeezed easily like stress balls and used to rest your wrist on!

I hope my sista likes it.

The Blindfold Challenge

2008-10-10T09:20:00.010+08:00

This is freaking hilarious!!!

Paul Twohill of Singapore Idol fame and Kay Kay from Deal or No Deal 2 go head to head in a battle of the sexes show!

I wonder why both Barney and Nemo pinata look so evil. Barney has purple lipstick and Nemo has green eyes!

Kay Kay managed to break her stick! LOL.

And she beheaded Barney!!! She got so depressed she said "I'm going to hell man."

I think the funniest part of the video was that Paul said, "Hello Nemo, I found you." and hit it off the stand with a perfect shot. Then he started to attack Nemo savagely, after it was "dead", he pierced Nemo through his stick. I'm not looking at Paul Twohill the same way again.

More videos about their other challenges here at clicknetwork.tv!

2008-10-09T17:55:00.003+08:00

I got tagged.

1.Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird/habits/little known facts about themselves.
2.People who get tagged need to write a post about their own 10 weird/habits/little known facts as well as state this rules clearly.
3.At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names
4.No tags back!

1) I read books at odd times. In a farewell party and the other Teacher's Day Party

2) I love paper dolls than Barbie dolls

3) Though I love Disney films very much, I think Disney is totally sexist. Why Disney Princesses like Cinderella, Snow White and Giselle sing when doing housework? Housework isn't exactly a fun thing to do.

4) Think about it, I hate the storyline from Disney films too, but I still watch Disney because the animation was impressive.

5) I listen to Boney M.

6) The birthday party I had for my ninth birthday was the best and the worst birthday party I had. I invited lots of people so I received lots of presents. But I threw up after eating the cake.

7) I love my teddy bear my sister got for me on my fourteenth birthday.

8) My thumb has healed from its cut, but it doesn't remotely feel like a thumb anymore. Will the nerves grow back?

9) I dun fancy pandas very much, yet they are my favourite animals.

10) I would like to punch the girl who tag me to do this thing.

So I'll be very nice and just tag 5 people.

1)My sister
2)Nicholas
3)Bernard
4)Joey

2008-10-09T12:42:00.018+08:00

I just came back from school. Today's math exam was a nightmare, I'm going to prepare my funeral.

~~I already planned it out. I'll die in Malaysia, where they bury bodies in graveyards instead of setting them on fire like we do here in Singapore's crematoriums. I don't like fire.~~

*touch wood*

Ok back to topic.

Today's weather is rather windy today, I wonder why, does it have to do with global warming? Today morning was rather misty, you can actually see sunlight rays filtering through the leaves of the trees nearby my school, it gives a pretty sight. The wind blew small withered brown leaves from the trees onto the floor, if they were white, they could be mistaken for snow. I wish it'll snow in Singapore. My mother seen snow, my father seen snow, so did my sister, I'm the only one left that hasn't been to a winter country yet.

To get rid of the end-of-exams blues, I went shopping at Eastpoint. It didn't cheer me up. I don't really like shopping anyway, cos it bores me to tears whenever I go shopping with my mum. I rather seek refuge in a bookshop, they are better than boutiques that make me sneeze.

While waiting for the shuttle bus to arrive, there were two small girls waiting along with their maids and grannies. Both girls were so cute and chubby, you would smile at the sight of their innocent faces, something that you wouldn't do if your teacher greets you with a scowling face. The girls are 5 to 6 years old as they were wearing school uniforms from playgroup.

Carrying kid-sized umbrellas with a green crook handle and white nylon cover displaying the name of their playgroup, the girls were busy showing off them, from mentioning how good they were in class therefore the gift from their teacher to the personalized nametag on the umbrella handle.

Grannies also joined in the fun, speaking...in English in baby-talk language. Like "Don't play with the umbrella, it'll get dirty, ok?" and "What a wonderful gift from your teacher! Granny no present, so can you give me the umbrella as present? Please?". What amazed me that the older generation actually converse in English. I had this misunderstanding that grandparents only speak in their own dialect.

It's nice to see the elderly interacting with their grandchildren.

Colleen

When you are sweet sixteen
and I whatever they shall call seventy-eight,
will you then remember when you were two
and you thought I was three and your romping mate?

When you walk in church a bride radiant
and I in bed unable to walk and attend,
will you then in your radiance recall
you toddling, I walking, we playing pretend?

When you are a proud mama
and I a senile but still great grandpa,
will your little one then be the only one
understanding me in our baby ‘ga-ga’?

And when your eldest is sweet sixteen
and I have gone from here for good,
will you still remember in tender prayer
your grandpa and our shared childhood?

And when your daughter has her own baby
and you play and romp with grandchild too,
will you then remember when you were two
And I was three and we went giddy-up, choo-choo?

Poem by: Goh Sin Tub

That was a poem we did analysis on for the September holidays homework. I think it's rather a heartwarming yet sorrowful poem, remembering the old times he had with his granddaughter but not able to experience her future as he ages and dies.

So the bus came. The maid picked up one of the girls and headed for the bus. Upon seeing that, the other girl rushed to her nanny and mumbled "抱抱!", but her nanny 's hands were busy with the clasp of her handbag, so she motioned the girl to wait. Reluctant to give up, she continued to mumble "抱抱!", until the nanny finally gave in and carried her.

With a questioning look from a nearby granny, the nanny said, "Singaporeans very kiasu, cannot lose one."

Well, we seem to born to be Singaporeans for our kiasu-ness isn't it?

At this young age, kiasu-ness is already evident in young toddlers, let alone teenagers, adults and tai-tais.

Be proud to be a SINGAPOREAN!!!

On the bus, when asked "Are you jealous?", the girl repiled "No I'm not!" in a chirpy voice.

Hairdryer (nearly) on fire

2008-10-08T16:35:00.011+08:00

Last Monday is most probably the scariest day of my life.

While I was blow drying my hair, and then the fan inside suddenly stopped turning. You know how noisy they are, going "WHHIIIRRRLLLLLL!!!!"at that loud volume. So there was this deathly silence.

I got worried, so I turned it over to see the back of the hairdryer.

TO MY HORROR, THE HEATING COIL INSIDE STARTED TO GLOW ORANGE.

Like those TV drama shows those blacksmiths stuff the iron ore inside the burning furnace, and when they take out the iron ore the tip would be glowing freakishly orange, like a warning of danger or "CAREFUL IT'S HOT!!" type of message.

Like this:

Seriously I'm not joking about this! Even if I joke about this, I won't benefit anything in return.

It glowed about 5 seconds until I got to my senses and switched off the electricity. What's left in the air was the stench of burned metal. Honest. When I picked up the handle of the hairdryer it was still hot.

So ok,*ahem*, what do you do if your electrical appliance is malfunctioning?

You refer the situation to an adult right? Good.

My mother came back home and I told her about the hairdryer which nearly caught fire. The hairdryer isn't exactly new, I remember using it back in my old hometown.

So she said she'll let daddy check for faults. I don't think she believed me.

Daddy doesn't believe me too anyway. He used the hairdryer for a couple of minutes before declaring to me the hairdryer was perfectly fine.

Fine?

OK FINE!

I seriously swear that I'm NEVER gonna use that hairdryer to blow dry my hair again, ~~until they get a new one or something.~~

Wait, scratch that.

I think I won't use a hairdryer in future. What happen if they all end up like the one we have now?

Nowadays adults dun trust their kids or something?

People say that whenever you're in need of help like when you get kanna bullied or kicked or punched or slapped or extorted money by a mean old baddy, or when you need help in homework or project, or you noticed the baby had choked on something while drinking milk, you report or ask or tell adults such as your teachers or parents, right??

How can this saying apply to anybody if you asked for help but get nothing in return?

New Hobby!!!

2008-10-08T13:47:00.014+08:00

I got a new hobby!

My sista and I were at Changi Airport Terminal 3 last sunday with our uncle for dinner. After dinner we went to walk-walk around look-see look-see and I saw the nearby bookshop was selling 3D Jigsaw Crystal Puzzles! Wow it's like fascinating how random jigsaw pieces can form together to create something 3D! So I managed to ask my uncle to get me and my sister and himself a jigsaw puzzle each as there was a big signboard that says "Buy 3 get 20% OFF". I dunno what it means actually, but who cares, it looks like a discount anyway, how can you resist an offer?!

So I got myself a red apple set and both my sista and uncle got the white swan set.

Here are some pictures of the 3D jigsaw crystal puzzles I am talking about.

The red apple!

The broken apple

Lovely heart shape(damn girlish)

Lucky 4-leaf Clover

Pyramid of Eygpt

"Lucky" Star?

Ooooooh treasure!

White Swan

Black Swan

Perfect Match

My Result

I did it in 30 minutes!

Well it's quite easy, there's only 44 pieces, 22 sets of identical pieces because the apple is like..symmetrical?

Piece of cake.

Well, sista's swan set is really HARD to piece together cos all of them are so small and each piece is unique.

I wonder how it looks like when she's finished with it.

Back

2008-09-29T16:16:00.001+08:00

Hey I'm back!

Sorry for not updating.

So now I'm chattering away to fill in the gap!

The next couple of entries will be posted as today's date, but actually written a few days ago.

Changi Chapel Museum

2008-09-29T16:15:00.008+08:00

Thursday, 25th September 2008

We went to the battle sites of World War II for a school trip.
We went to two locations. But I will blog on this location.

Changi Museum

I remember when I was young I used to ask my parents to bring me to that museum, because quite frankly, I didn't know how a museum looks like inside. Are they as boring as described in fiction books? So that day was my first visit there. It's rather interesting, the museum sort of contain sad and painful memories of the POWs during the World War II. Here's a picture of the entrance.

We went straight after English exams so we didn't have time to eat lunch! And we can't eat on the bus either! So the very nice guide gave us 10min to buy and eat our lunch. I brought egg sandwiches(which are really cold and slimy, I wonder why) I bought from the school canteen (the last sandwiches, so beggers can't be choosers right?). The gift shop only sell food like RollerCosters and Kit Kat bars, but nowadays news of tainted milk I tend to avoid chocolate.

So there's this door.

What's behind it?

The Changi Cell is located at the side of the Changi Museum. Once entered, visitors can listen to an audio recording on how the locals suffered in the hands of the Japanese during the Japanese Occupation. It also gives visitors an idea of the atmosphere of a prison cell for those incarcerated during the Second World War.

Limit to ten people only, but who cares, the whole class squeezed into the small narrow room. OMG it's freaking dark in there, and a whole lot of screaming from the audio recording plus the add-on shrieks from the guys in class. We do need lots of extra terror in that room.

The drawing and the map

Defenders of Singapore

I managed to persuade daddy to bring me there one day, the class visit was too fast to absorb any information.

Can you imagine sharing this room with two others???

This is terrible...

Changi Quilts
Several women who were interned in Changi prison during the Occupation, were given six inch squares of rice sack cloth. Each embroided her name, indicating her survival and well being. Under the pretext of a gift, the quilts were handed over to the civilian men for the POW hospital. Knowledge of the women's well being boosted the men's morale.

It's very heartening to know that during times of war, these POWs had not given up hope. Instead, they helped one another to keep up their morale.

Model-Making

2008-09-29T16:15:00.007+08:00

Thursday, 25 September 2008 (At Night)

I hope you all still remember I am going to try out new hobbies.

Let kill two birds with one stone.

I'm making my display unit based on my design for Design & Technology class.

Let's see if I enjoy making stuff as a hobby.

Hobby catergorised under No.16={Model Building}. (refer to older entries)

So the materials require to make my design come to life:

Windmill
3 Toilet Rolls
Super glue
Cardboard(all neatly cut out)
Paint
Paintbrush
Hairdryer
Water
And lots of patience!!

So I was like, "I'm tired from the history field trip today, and now I have to complete this?!" I was thinking of painting it today then tomorrow glue it all together, but my mother wants me to stop doing meaningless stuff and prepare for exams(but hey, that dumb model is for my D&T exam).

I was getting really nervous like, is the paint ever gonna dry (secret weapon:the hairdryer!!) ? or like is the glue functioning properly?? Such similar idiotic thoughts went through my head.

So prototype looks like this. Just balancing on top of the other and a rough idea how it is gonna turn out like.

Excuse me for the very messy bedroom floor

Ingredients spread out on the table

Rejected Cardboards Sheets

Paint Colours

I think there's something wrong with purple...

But anyway, the colours matched my windmill.

The Leaves

All the glue work remains uncaptured, my hands were too sticky.

FINAL PRODUCT

I worked from 7 pm to 12 midnight.(look how dark outside was)

I guess my efforts paid off?

The model's nickname is "Leaning Tower of Flower".

So final question: Is this a good new hobby?

The answer is: NO

I wonder if I am recycling or reusing or just plain destroying the environment.

Broken Stuffs

2008-09-21T16:22:00.008+08:00

I always wanted a big pencil box because all my stuff can't fit in my old one last time, I need 3 pencil boxes in the begining of the year. Then I realised. The reason why my pencil box is close to exploding is because it's filled with rubbish.

LIKE...

A "pencil" I made out of a wooden chopstick

A pencil I sharpened at both ends

(left) A sharpener that's missing a sharpener

The remains of the hole-puncher I dropped on the classroom floor.

The plastic cover cracked on impact, and I threw it away on the spot.

Looks ordinary

But somehow it broke...

So this is my new scissors. Say hi. It's rather small.

A orange highlighter that's has no ink left.

And a set-square that's been chipped off at one end.

Housework

2008-09-14T15:51:00.006+08:00

I accidentally cut myself on my library book during house-cleaning. A freaking 3 cm thin red cut. It's still there on the underside of my right elbow while I'm writing this post in the late afternoon while I got cut in the late morning. The library book is titled "SINGAPORE BOOK OF RECORDS 2007". Well, now that book has a record, it got a record of my DNA on it.

For lunch today, I managed to make a perfect(almost) popiah!

Lunch was leftovers from yesterday party's dinner.

Yesterday's party wasn't bad.

We watched two movies, "Ratatouille" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". The first made me hungry. The second movie makes me puke(that can't be right, I bought the DVD with my own money!!!). For one thing, Harry Potter(aka Daniel Radcliffe)'s hairstyle and acting weren't incredible.

So half way through that movie I went to play some dress-up games at http://www.afunpark.com/ with a young female guest(she's damn adorable! still in primary school so lucky). We had a competition to see who can dress up the virtual doll the best.

I've a weakness for paper dolls, so if you know any nice paper doll websites put on the tagboard.

Mid-Autumn Festival 2008

2008-09-13T10:27:00.007+08:00

I'm up and early today. 10'o clock in the morning already blogging.

I finally finished the script for Mayella's version of the court scene!!! Technically, today at 12.30am in the wee hours of the morning. I chatted with Bernard on MSN for a while before going to bed.

5.45am: Wake up to get ready to go jogging at Bedok Reservior Park with ex-neighbours. I should have woken up earlier, everytime when I'm in a panic or rush or something urgent I can't wear contact lens properly(glasses are harder to run with). And the mirror is so bloody far, and the sink in front of the mirror is so bloody big, I can't see properly and can't lean forward properly(am I that short?) and the contact lens kept dropping into the sink cos my hands were shaking.

Last week, when we woke up it was raining so we went back to sleep. By the time when our ex-neighbours woke up, it had stopped raining so they went out to jog at the park without us.

Today, we woke up and it wasn't raining. After running, it started to rain.

Me and my sister only jog 1km today and walked another 1km, the last few metres running back to the shelter as it started to drizzle. While running, the clouds were grey and it was really windy, like running in a air-conditioned gym.

All the adults were saying, "Today break record, must run faster cos it's gonna rain."

And my father did.
Usual timing: 29 min. Today's timing: 26 min

Applause!!

Bloody cold today, me and my sister are only wearing sleeveless shirts and shorts, the rain makes the temperature so cold.

On our way to Pasir Ris wet market for breakfast, we saw this lorry called "Parquets" and in it there were objects covered with black plastic bag, like the ones used for parties and such, to shelter from the rain.

"It's really innovative of them to cover the parquets with plastic bags," my father said.

I stared at them a little closer.

Wait a minute.

THEY ARE MOVING?!

They're HUMANS covered with plastic bags!

HAHAHA.

The adults talked about hobbies today during breakfast.

Then I wonder.

What is my hobby?

As far as I know, there's only one thing I like doing, and that's reading.

GOD I think I need a new hobby or something.

Something that suits me.

Let's see various kind of hobbies...

1. Amateur Science related
2. Animal-related
3. Arts and crafts
4. Collecting
5. Computer-related
6. Food
7. DIY (Do It Yourself)
8. Electronics
9. Film-making
10. Games
11. Gardening
12. Historical reenactment
13. Interactive fiction
14. Internet-based hobbies
15. Literature
16. Model (scale model) building
17. Music
18. Observation
19. Outdoor/nature activities
20. Performing arts
21. Photography
22. Sports or other physical activities
23. Toys of some sophistication
24. Transportation

I guess I'll attempt to try one of the categories one day?

We're having a party later at night to celebrate our annual Mid-Autumn Festival, but this time at our house in Simei instead at our old home in Pasir Ris. All our ex-neighbours are coming over. Theme is: Popiah. =.=

Strange, we met them this morning and we're going to meet them later at night.

Danse Macabre

2008-09-12T20:37:00.009+08:00

Danse Macabre - Saint Saens

The composition is based upon a poem by Henri Cazalis, on an old French superstition:

Zig, zig, zig, Death in a cadence,
Striking with his heel a tomb,
Death at midnight plays a dance-tune,
Zig, zig, zig, on his violin.
The winter wind blows and the night is dark;
Moans are heard in the linden trees.
Through the gloom, white skeletons pass,
Running and leaping in their shrouds.
Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking,
The bones of the dancers are heard to crack—
But hist! of a sudden they quit the round,
They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.

According to the ancient superstition, Death appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death has the power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his fiddle(represented by a solo violin with its E-string tuned to an E-flat in an example of scordatura tuning). His skeletons dance for him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.

The piece opens with a harp playing a single note, D, twelve times to signify the clock striking midnight, accompanied by soft chords from the string section. This then leads to the eerie E flat and A chords (also known as a tritone or the Devil's chord, and the solo violin's E string is tuned a half step lower to accommodate this) played by a solo violin, representing death on his fiddle. After which the main theme is heard on a solo flute and is followed by a descending scale on the solo violin.

The rest of the orchestra, particularly the lower instruments of the string section, then joins in on the descending scale. The main theme and the scale is then heard throughout the various sections of the orchestra until it breaks to the solo violin and the harp playing the scale. The piece becomes more energetic and climaxes at this point; the full orchestra playing with strong dynamics.

Towards the end of the piece, there is another violin solo, now modulating, which is then joined by the rest of the orchestra. The final section, a pianissimo, represents the dawn breaking and the skeletons returning to their graves.

The piece makes particular use of the xylophone in a particular theme to imitate the sounds of rattling bones.

I hope after listening to it, you can imagine how the poem looks like.

Enjoy. :)

Windmill, Candles and Turtle Soup

2008-09-07T13:44:00.012+08:00

I got myself a windmill last Friday!

I feel as if me and my sista are deprived of childhood. Her especially. She kept going, "OMG you're so childish, so old already still play with toys like this windmill.". BUT she's the one who kept snatching it from me, amazed by how it spins or something I dunno.

After dinner, on the highway back home, she attempted to stick it out of the car window, but she didn't because it's too dangerous so many cars on the road, what happens if you stick the windmill out and then someone crash into it?

She did it anyway when we reached the car park of our condo.

I got it to make a model for my Design & Technology display unit design. Maybe I shall use it for my upcoming science project too.

Yesterday, my mum bought 1,000 candles from Tampines IKEA. Yes, 1000 candles. 6 months supply of candles. We light 4 candles per day in front of the small statue of the Buddha we have at home. The first candle we tried had no wick to light. Should we ask for an exchange or refund? Never mind, we have 999 candles to go.

Tonight's dinner, we went out with my maternal grandfather.

For the first time in my life, we had turtle soup!

We went to that Turtle House Seafood Restaurant after watching their advertisement on Channel 8. It's pretty close to my grandfather's place and cousin's primary school.

We gave grandfather a new handphone too! His old phone's(it used to be my phone during primary 5) keypad buttons 4 and 7 and * wasn't working, so we got another down-to-earth phone for him. But it's really good, it has the basic function of a phone, like sms and call but there isn't any camera. Back to the old times.

It's good now the older generation is keeping up with the technology. It's easier to keep in contact.

The contradictions of the restaurant:

No Smoking?

Smoking Corner?!

--------------------------------------------------------

Our soup arrived!!

Strange, I thought it would look like the dish on the napkin wrapper.

Turtle soup taste like a cross-over between mutton soup and pork soup. But it's very bland, unless you put lots of wine in the soup.

They actually serve crocodile meat there!

So in the car me and my sister asked my dad(whom we know to eat lots of weird stuff before), "How does crocodile meat taste like?"

He replied, "If you found turtle meat bland, crocodile meat is even worse. Taste like snake meat."

Silence.

How do you compare a foreign meat with another foreign meat??

He goes on to say what other weird meat he ate before. When he was young, he was a kampong boy and lived in a treehouse near a forest in Malaysia. His father(my paternal grandfather) used to go out hunting in that forest for animals to eat for dinner.

My father ate these before:

Crocodile
Turtle
Snake
Dog(no wonder out neighbour's dog bark whenever he's near)
Fox
Bat
Hog
Bear
Rabbit
MONKEY

Oh my goodness, MONKEY MEAT??

*faint*

Pizza Hut!

2008-09-03T18:08:00.005+08:00

Today's my first time stepping into a Pizza Hut Restaurant!

Maybe it is not my first time, but it's been a long time I stepped into one!

I went to the Siglap Pizza Hut Restaurant with Lena, Dorothy, Vivienne, Hye Min and Serene Neo for lunch after History Workshop.

I ordered the Pizza Set from the Student Value Treats! So did Vivienne, Dorothy and Hye Min. All Hawaiian pizzas. Lena and Serene ordered the Pasta Set.

We had soup too. Lena and Hye Min began to pour cheese into their soups. HAHAHA.

Campbell Soup

2008-09-01T12:10:00.005+08:00

Sometimes, I dun look forward to holidays, because most of the time I would stay at home, which means I've to cook my own lunch. I'm not saying cooking is a chore, it's rather fun actually, but the idea of deciding what to eat is a problem. I either cook instant noodles like 出前一定 or Campbell's Condensed Soup like Mushroom Potage or Clam Chowder. Not much choices at home...

Today's lunch, I decided to cook Campbell's Soup along with rice. Like porridge or something. With hotdogs too.

Campbell's Soup serves two bowls of soup and I cooked one bowl of rice. So after eating the bowl of porridge(rice+soup), I started to drink the second bowl of soup when my sister decided to try my cooking. "Can I have a hotdog?"

And she kept coming back for more.

I got fed up so I gave my bowl of soup to her.

I thought, after a while, she would find my cooking distasteful and then return my bowl to me.

But she finished my soup instead.

Completely clean.

I was like,"You like my cooking meh? I dun remember you saying my cooking nice before..."

But think about it, if my sister was to be at home for lunch/dinner, she would make lunch/dinner for both of us. Which doesn't give me the opportunity to cook lunch/dinner for her in the past.

So...thanks sista for providing lunch/dinner for me during the past times you did!!!:)

Milk

2008-08-31T11:45:00.004+08:00

How powerful can milk get?

Doctors advice people to drink milk before bedtime to promote good sleep as warm milk has amino acids that converts to a sleep-enhancing compound in the brain which can help you relax enough to drift to sleep.

So I decided to give it a try.

It didn't work well with me.

It worked too well with my father.

He just took a sip from my mug of milk.

And he fell asleep while watching the news.

Its My Life - Bon Jovi

It's My Life

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive'
Cause it's my life

Teacher's Day 2008

2008-08-29T22:23:00.011+08:00

Today is the first time I celebrated Teachers' Day in TMS.

Cos last year on Teachers' Day I was down with HFMD so I wasn't fit to go to school that day.

I still had that medical certificate with me. I forgot to give it to the teacher last year. Doubt that teacher noticed I wasn't present on that day.

To no surprise, I didn't enjoy today's celebration much.

During the concert, we had a live band performance. I thought such stuff happen in drama or anime. It wasn't really exciting. The singer sounds like constipation during his second song.

The garbage bag we used during the party was so full till the bottom of the bag tore.

I lost my appetite during the Teachers' Day breakfast.

The clean-up was terrible. Strings and decoration everywhere. Chocolate syrup, Nutella and Peanut Butter on the floor. Including french fries and cake too. Classmates asked, "Are we allowed to go home now?" when the classroom looks like a pig sty.

I can't believe I was so tired today. After showering, I head straight to the bed and slept for 6hours straight. With glasses on. Considering I dun nap in the afternoon.

My mother and sista had a hard time waking me up.

Sometimes I really want to sleep forever.

I wanna kill my sista for going back to PRPS without me today.

Looking forward to tomorrow 5km jog at Bedok Reservoir Park.

"The greatest thing you ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return."

I always thought I had done it before.

But now I'm not so sure.

26/08/2008

2008-08-26T20:29:00.036+08:00

OK, lots of things had happened from last entry to this entry. So I shall just talk about them randomly in today's entry.

Firstly, I would really like to thank my friends back in PRPS, for showing what friendship was really like. So thank you Darren, Joey, Charlotte, Bernard and especially Nicholas, for being my friend during my primary school life journey. I'll never forget the fun and laughter and those fond memories we had together back in that school.

Someone to laugh with, perhaps to shed some tears.

A person who's been with you all through the years.

Someone to shelter you from days that are cold,

A shoulder to cry on, a warm hand to hold.

And a ear for your problems whenever you call.

Someone to share your giggles and your screams,

A person to share your secrets and dreams.

Someone to hug when you're happy or sad,

To just be there in good times and bad.

A person with whom you don't have to pretend,

These are the jobs of a very best friend.

-Wu Song Ze

Temasek Harvest 2008

Secondly, it's over and confirmed!!!:)

Thirdly, I met Victoria today!!! I felt so happy when I saw her. At least my past in PRPS had not worn off yet. She stays near me, I realised. I hope I'll meet her again soon.

Fourthly, the tension is killing me. My mother kept saying, "I've a surprise for you and Wynne.", but she wouldn't tell us what it is. We kept prompting her to drop hints.

So far we got:

It's for teachers to give to grauduating students.
It's very cute.
I would like it.
Daddy won't like it.
It's for females.
It has to be ordered.
She ordered a lot.
And she gonna order some more for Daddy.
She almost selected every design on the catalog.
It could be used for a long time.
It's unique.
Etc...

UPDATE

It was a personalized keychain!

Fifth, I LOVE MY NEW PENCIL BOX!!! Honestly, I rather have the bigger version. My mother wouldn't buy the A4 size version for me.

OMG the panda is so cute!!!

Sixth, I found out the school library had the Eyewitness Book Series! Exactly the same books I used to read back in primary school library, but I didn't managed to read finish the entire series over there. So my aim now is just to complete that ambition, to read the entire series available at the school library. The books are damn nice, it's filled with "life-size" photos and fascinating facts. Too bad they're labeled as "reference books" in the school library, so they cannot be borrowed and only be read in the school library. The series includes books like:

You must be thinking, "Jane is such a nerd."

But reading in the library during recess is better than eating in the canteen. In the library you get to learn new things but in the canteen you get fatter.

The only place I feel happy in secondary school.

Rainbow(20/8/08)

2008-08-20T15:31:00.018+08:00

Today, I saw a rainbow in the morning sky. It was drizzling slightly. And I saw a lot of snails in the grass too.

People used to wish upon on a star, hoping for a miracle, but it doesn't make any sense cause stars is always there, every night and even in daytime too it's just that you can't see them in broad daylight.

Wouldn't it be better if you wish upon a rainbow instead? They only appear when the Sun shines onto droplets of moisture in the Earth's atmosphere. That's is something you dun see everyday.

Speaking of rainbows, let's watch a video of Connie Talbot singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

Get straight to the point!!!

2008-08-14T17:42:00.008+08:00

I've been wondering lately, why people dun get straight to the point. They must go around the bush for hours or something before telling people the main point of their lecture.

Like last Wednesday morning, because every Wednesday school starts at 9am, I looked forward to a peaceful, quiet morning spent on doing unfinished homework. But that time, I spent most of my time witnessing a group filming a video(aren't we supposed to hand in a brochure or PowerPoint or something readable?) for science project on birth controls/STDs. Apparently it looked like a skit to me, one was a doctor while the other was the patient. And wat pissed me off was that the script goes off like this:

"Eh, you noe doctor, ah lar you noe lar, you noe that thing right? That word? Yeah you noe huh..."

WTF?

I think doctors are trained to understand difficult words. If you've a thorn in your butt yet you're unwilling to tell the doctor you have a thorn in your butt, just because you refuse to say "I've a thorn in my butt", how is the doctor ever gonna remove the thorn in your butt until you actually tell him you've a thorn in your butt and you want him to remove the thorn in your butt?

Let's see a scenario that important words are not spoken:

Doctor: (polite)Good evening, so wat's the problem?
Patient: Ah good evening, doctor, eh you noe, my stomach(points to the stomach), I tink you noe wat happen lar.
Doctor: OK...Anything else?
Patient: Wait wait still got more. My here also(points to throat), very, you noe lar, painful lor.
Doctor: Can you describe it? Is it like swelling or is it very dry?
Patient: I tell you it's painful!
Doctor: (desperate)OK..anything else to add?
Patient: I haven't say finish yet! Then hor, my(points to the nose), cannot you noe, breath properly lei, so how??
Doctor: So you're breathing through your mouth instead of the nose, am I correct?
Patient: Duh!
Doctor: (a bit impatient)OK..anything else to add?
Patient: NOT YET FINISH! My here also(points to the temple), you noe lar, whole day dizzy like 24hr earthquake, also wanna puke vomit.
Doctor: OK....

Diagnosis:
Patient has something in his stomach(unspecified) and something down his throat(unspecified) that might have affected his nose(unspecified).
When patient is pointing to his temple, he may be specifying there's something wrong with his brain.

Medicine:
(unspecified)

Outcome:
After eating the medicine(unspecified), he died suddenly(unspecified). May be suicide, medicine overdose, or he's just plain stupid for not telling straight to the point wat's wrong with him to the doctor in first place.

So in future, get straight to the point or end up like him. :)

Art: Realism Portrait

2008-08-10T16:22:00.020+08:00

I finally finished my realism portrait! I never really enjoyed art, I still rmb tat time in pri school we(as a group) were supposed to weave a rattan basket but it turn out looking like a bird's nest instead. Up to this day, I wonder why I'm the class Art Representative, considering I dislike roles with authority, I tend to abuse it subconsciously. And my art ain't good either.

Anyway, our art teacher told us to bring a photo of our favourite person for realism portrait, and she added if we like our own face we can bring that too. I couldn't think of anybody, so i took a photo of my sista and printed it out. See how "well" I had drawn her.

As you can see, I can't draw lips very well. The eyes I cheated a bit, I drew them while looking at another hand drawn portrait of my sista during 1999. That portrait is donkey years ago, but if the person in that 1999 portrait is the same person I'm trying to draw in 2008, the eyes shouldn't change much right?

The first thing my sista said when she saw that drawing of her, she said, "OMFG it is super ugly please". HAHAHAHA.

I wonder how my uncle draw realism portrait so beautifully. Here's some portraits he had drawn.

Nice right?

Yesterday, the freakiest thing happened. My sista's name and mine actually appeared on a cake design book. ON THE SAME PAGE. OK her name was spelled as "Winnie" when her real name was "Wynne"(pronounced as "Winnie") but, if it's really her name I'll get scared, her name is so rare.

太好了，明天不用上学！But i haven't done my homework yet. :) So yeah, tmr I'll most likely be doing my homework for the whole day.

OK, I'll stop writing here, my family are going out soon. We're going over to our ex-neighbour's house for dinner, it's really nice of them to invite us over. We had a lot of fun together, like recently we went to Malacca for a short trip.

National Day

2008-08-09T14:23:00.017+08:00

Today is National Day!!! Happy 43rd B'dae Singapore!!!

And thanks Darren, it was nice of you to sms me "Happy National Day!" at 12.09am in the morning, at least i noe I'm not forgotten yet. HAHAHA.

Woke up this morning with a little bit bad mood, my legs are sore after yesterday 3.5km run at East Coast Park. Like every Saturday, as a family we go Bedok Reservoir Park to run/walk 5km, though this is my second time, as the previous times they went i was too lazy and i slept a bit more in the morning.

Wore the pink Adidas sleeveless top and black FBTs for the first time today, mum says I look good in them(but hey, she bought them in first place, if she doesn't like it, would she buy it?), i beg to differ, I prefer to wear black tops.

I paced run with mum for 1km, before giving up at the slow speed she's going and jogged a bit faster for another 500m. At the 1.5km mark, my mum and i began to brisk walk. OK more like i tried to catch up with my mum brisk walking. Funny, she can't jog fast, but she walks bloody fast.

After running, we went for breakfast, and my whole family ate Lor Mee, a Chinese-inspired noodle dish served in a thick starchy gravy and thick flat yellow noodles, which i apparently dislike. I didn't find it pleasing to eat. Maybe I'm not used to eating big meals in the morning.

I rmb that time when we were pri.5 we went for the NDP2005 rehearsal at Padang, it was raining lightly like today. 孙老师 tat time looked so cute and funny in the poncho that was provided for us in the goodie bag. It looked oversized on him.

The song we sang on that day was pretty nice too, it's called "Reach Out for the Sky" sung by Rui En And Taufik Batisah. It came along with dance moves, it was pretty cool, but the bad side was we're supposed to learn those dance steps online. Let's see and renew the video if you've forgotten the song.

The emcee who entertained us yesterday at East Coast Park taught us the wrong dance moves for that song. HAHAHA. Lesson learnt: Dun try to teach someone else something you yourself dunno how to do. Especially if tat person happens to be an expert at it. Like the saying goes, 《班门弄斧》，which means, like yeah, dun show of your skills in front of an expert.

Cross Country on the eve of National Day

2008-08-08T13:53:00.006+08:00

Happy National Day Singapore!!!
(though it's tmr..)
And today is the starting of the Beijing Olympic Games 2008!!
(like i care anyway..)

Today,we had our 21st annual cross country at east coast park, lucky the weather was fine, yesterday the weather forecast said it would rain in the late morning and early afternoon. Now i noe not to trust the weather info hotline.

Somehow the Sec1s managed to complete the run in 10mins flat, when the run is like 3.5km or something. I was like going, "Wow, the Sec1s are really pro sia", then they announced that they had taken a wrong turn aka shortcut. They have to re-run on Wednesday, if they wanted to get into the top 10 positions, but after today, i dun tink anyone wanna run 3.5km until next year cross country.

There were so many schools running there, like small kiddies and those pupils from chong cheng i tink, all of us wearing red. And those guys wearing yellow sleeveless shirts from Army too. I tell you, because everyone was wearing red, you can't tell the difference between each school.

We watched some performance by our TAG(Temasek Acapella Group). They wanted to sing 20 songs, but one of them had a bad sore throat so they sang 2 songs instead. They are really wonderful singers.

Oh yeah, my frens and I went to buy some refreshments after the run from our Enterprise Club, which were in charge of selling food and drinks to thirsty and hungry students. Ingenious aren't they, in order to prevent students from bringing money to the park to attract people stealing, last week they sold coupons to the school, so we purchase the refreshments with them rather than money. I bought two coupons which cost me $2. I bought two ice tubes, one hot dog bun and one Hello Panda.

My class won the inter-class cheer. Finally a good point of our noisy destruction in the classroom. Too bad the words "SINGAPORE' can't be a bold, striking colour, because my printer ran out of ink. And i wasted 20 paper for printing out those words, 2x "SINGAPORE",one "2" and one "5", to represent our name of our class. I dun like the sight of Syukri and Jin Han shaking their butts, i wonder who's idea was it. Anyway, printing out those words for my class seems to be the only useful thing i can do for the class cheer, i'm not that enthu type of person.

Had Burger King for lunch with Priscilla afterwards at Simei Eastpoint, i got a discount coupon for a BK Fish and BK Chicken meal, U.P. is $16.60, but it cost us $9.95(Should just directly say $10 straight, people try too hard to fool people into buying stuff they tink are cheaper). The meal wasn't bad, it came with 2 medium soft drink, small packet of onion rings and small packet of fries, and of course the fish burger and the chicken burger. Priscilla ate the chicken burger w/o the lettuce inside, whereas i ate the fish burger with everything inside, it had cheese inside. mmm...Unfortunately inside i think there were pickles so it tasted a bit sour..and i broke my mum's rule by drinking half the coca-cola when she had forbidden me not to.

Must be nice to break rules once in a while.
