OMG. I'm POSTING.

2009-01-25T13:16:00.001+08:00

I was asking my bro if he wanted to set up a blog. He shook his head and answered that he'd only update once a year. So, I'm just trying to prove to him that updating once year is not so bad at all. Hurhurhur. =D

Happy Chinese New Year to all! Gong xi fa cai!

2008-07-04T11:31:00.002+08:00

Chillin' out on a random Friday in the school hub. Nyah. Today's a half-day. Hurray! Next Monday's a holiday too, so I'm looking forward to the long weekend. Gonna watch Get Smart later.
Need to have some laughs before I get down to mugging. Even better, I still have to get my IS together.. Everytime I think about it I get this feeling of dread. Doesn't help that they say this is the chance to do well for KI.

Sigh. It feels weird to be a senior, even after half a year... I wish I lived in a world where I would never grow up. I'd be cruising along, doing my own thang. Yea. I wish. But wishing never helps huh. Just gotta get my act together and do well.

My JCTs weren't satisfactory yea. So I really need to buck up, especially for Economics, and Chemistry. I can't help regretting not taking Lit. even if I know it's like waaaay too late to change my mind. Sigh.

This post has suddenly turned depressing. Will go off before it goes downhill. Heehee.

BAD DUCKIE!

2008-06-22T22:11:00.002+08:00

I really oughta sleep early today since there's Econs tomorrow. Bleargh, and I realise I haven't updated since forever, but yeah. I needed to post this convo I had. ('t will only make sense to Naruto fans though.)

"D'you know what Sasuke likes to eat?"
"Uh, ramen?"
"No."
"Spaghetti?"
"NO."
"Itachi?"
"O_O Wtf?"

OMG. It's ALIVE.

2008-03-05T10:47:00.002+08:00

Hellow. Uh. "Yellow, fellow, mellow," says naTlehtE. vo.o

I'm so bored. Bogged down with KI. Gah. Merlion and national identity. Still bored. I hate Wednesdays. Only one lecture, then civics, (contact time), then band. Sooooooo boring!!!!

Anyways, Osaka is coming up! Well, movie mania first, but still. Hahaha, can't wait. Wish I could go for the Humanities trip too (they're going to JAPAN too). Lalala~

That's all for now I suppose. Gonna change blogskin again if I find a nice one.

2007-07-13T14:26:00.000+08:00

Hi. I have decided to blog. After a veryveryvery long time. Yeah. But my blog's not as dead as Ori's! *attempts to protest but fails miserably*

Ok, fine, I'm just really lazy.. Haha... Oh well.

Sigh...

JCTs are over, and it's slightly less than 10 weeks before promos. I didn't do very well for the JCTs and I kinda like promised myself to study harder. Apparently, it doesn't work very well. I'm not a very motivated person, but I shall try my best anyways.

This is sad. I finally blog, just to lament about schoolwork. Everything's about school now. Read: I have no life. seikatsu ga nai. gakkou seikatsu wa watashi no zenbu da. kurushii yo. uhhuh. Oh yea, in case why you're wondering why I didn't just use Jap to type that whole thing out, this computer can't install the stupid language program. Thus, the Jap words are in italics. Sighh.

I'm bored. Real bored. Y'know, I could go home at 3, since I don't have to attend the GP post-mortem. I take KI! All the other KI peeps can go home earlier, but nooo, there has to be band today.

Alright, gtg. Cya people.

2007-04-04T15:18:00.000+08:00

Reply to tags: ('cause I realised that trying to reply on the tagboard itself is just dumb and I have the time anyways.)

To regac: Yea, but you got your banana what. Haha...
To mich: Yep, it's a metronome alright. But no one asked you to take geog!
To ori: ANSWERRRED!
To lynnette: Yealah, yealah. Blogged already. =P
To shara: Konnichiwa. Shara-san mo basketball de ganbatte ne! Kotoshi no nihongo shiken mo 'A' wo torimasuyo!
To alice: OF COURSE I REMEMBER YOU. =D

2007-04-04T15:01:00.000+08:00

HELLO.

Currently slacking in the music block with the rest of the TA3 mep students.

HI THIS IS REGAC. THE FELLOWSHIP ROCKS. WE FOLLOW SHIPS WITH FELLOWS WITH SHIPS. (ignore me I'm high. hi. haha. hello. omg alliteration! okay wait ignore me i'm late for chinese kkthxbb)

Uh, yea, Regac hijacked my blog for a second there. And she is high. And I am low. Cause I am shorter than her. =D (regac typed this by the way. does anyone know where the hell is 213.)

(DON'T SUAN ME. MS TAN SAID THAT HEIGHT IS NO BARRIER AND I AGREE.)

She really needs to go for Chinese. And so does Onana aka Ori. =D

o_O Both of them just ran outta the room. Ori was like, "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!"

Well, I s'pose we've never said that we weren't mad/insane/crazy.

Sigh. Lynnie was all, "IT LOADED." just now. She installed SIMS 2 on to her tablet PC. It'll just die after a while I tell you. It's almost like loading MAYA onto a laptop.

Ah well. She can do what she likes. I personally think that the music is a bit too cheerful though. Hahaha...

Right, shall go back to playing Minesweeper now.

OH, bytheway, I got in to OCIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YATTA!

2007-03-28T21:49:00.000+08:00

Yawn. I wonder why I'm so tired at the moment. Probably 'cause I have been sleeping late the past few weeks. I really should try to sleep earlier... Sigh. Oh well.

Watching National Geographic right now, haha. "Seconds before Disaster" is on right now. Something about a fire and explosions on an aircraft carrier, killing about 130 people or so. Won't risk trying to spell its name now though. They're investigating why exactly disaster struck. Lots of 'what ifs' and regrets, but all they can do is ensure that something like it won't happen again. Quite interesting, but quite depressing at the same time.

Nyah. I wanted to blog about something but now I can't remember what. Gosh. I suppose I'm not called Dory for nothing...

K, fine, I'm signing out 'cause I can't remember...

phantom!

2007-03-24T18:38:00.000+08:00

HI.

Just got back from watching the Phantom of the Opera. *big grin* I thought it was really good, haha. Now I've got the songs stuck in my head.

Lalala~ Band was ok today, but I was practicing strokes for most of yesterday, 'cause my hands don't move fast enough. Then the ASL told me to start practicing strokes, starting with my left, which I failed miserably at because my right side is very dominant. Sigh. Never mind, I will attempt to practice at home!

Oh well, that's about it for now...

BYEBYE.

2007-03-22T20:34:00.000+08:00

KI's quite a fun subject. A lot more interesting than GP at any rate. That's why I chose to take it in the first place. Yup, I 'offer' KI. I've always wondered why they like to use the word 'offer'. I have a vague idea why, but still... Hahaha, that was random really.

Ok, off to watch TV..

Oh btw, our math teacher is too funny.

Revising partial fractions:
1/[(r)(r+1)(r+2)]= *magic!* = 1/2r - 1/(r+1) + 1/[2(r+2)]

2007-03-21T21:44:00.000+08:00

This is strange. I am actually posting by my own free will after an entire year of not posting anything at all. o_O

Anyways, I like my new layout. Simple is best sometimes, haha.

Blue skies are above me, the birds are singing and the sun is shining... (Metaphorically, of course. It's like 9.48pm now.) Homework aside, I think this has probably been the best years of my life. Great friends, loads of opportunities to experience new things, like cheerleading, going to the UK, taking music as a subject, etc.

And speaking of opportunities, I'm gonna sign up for OCIP too! Hopefully, I'll get to go to Cambodia to help furnish a library. I think it'd be great. Unfortunately, we'll hafta go through interviews first, so wish me luck!

I feel so lazy right now, even though I've made a pact with myself to work harder this year. I've even started on my math tutorial! (cue: dramatic gasp) Yep. I will work hard this year. Partially, 'cause I feel kinda intimidated by all the 6-pointers in our batch this year. I mean, I don't think I coulda score straight As for 'O' levels. So I will do TA proud this year, and score well!

I sound so enthusiatic... Let's just hope I can keep this resolution...

Signing out.

BORED.

2007-03-20T17:08:00.000+08:00

OMG. I'm so bored that I actually want to blog. I thought this blog was DEAD. Even Lynnette couldn't convince me to blog. Gah.

Current situation: Sitting under the TRC waiting for 5.30 to roll around so we can go for the econs make-up lecture.

By right, I should be reading my lecture notes and preparing for the damn lecture, but I'm hot (no pun intended), and sleepy and in no mood to study.

Update on current situation in school: 2nd day of term 2 and 2nd day of starting lessons after like going almost half a year without 'official lessons. I honestly feel like my brain's dribbled outta my ears. Otherwise, it's gone on a semi-permanent trip to Hawaii and left me to do all the work. *whines*

PDP-wise, band's been okay so far, despite it being SYF year, but yeah, it should become quite hectic soon enough. I should just enjoy whatever free time I have at the moment. Still, I can't help but be bored, even though I have er, interesting people around to talk to.

Whoa, it's now 5.17pm. Lynn's asking whether I've posted this yet. I will. Like, uh, now?

SLACKING

2006-03-02T13:13:00.000+08:00

I'm such a damn slacker. I'm supposed to be doing my work, but noooo... I can't start. Darn darn darndarndarn. Rawr. I've gotten back into the 'holiday' mood and I can't seem to get back out. I shall force myself out. Tomorrow. Wahahahahaa.

I've been spending so much time in the MS. I kinda miss spending time with Shan and Jiggsy, and with SF6 in general. I'm not saying that I don't like spending time with Grace and Lynnette that is. Hmm. We should get together for an SF6 outing. Right, I shall suggest that to Mag. =) hahaha.

Lalala~ I'm glad that life isn't so hectic now, although I sometimes feel bored with the lack of work. o_O I can't believe I said that! Ok, never mind. I think next term will be even more hectic.

Sigh. Haha, during one of the jap lessons, we had t' suggest how to improve our Japanese. One of it was blogging in Jap. Of course almost no one would understand, so it's kinda pointless. =P

Ok, gonna go back to slacking. =)

I'm tired.

2006-02-09T22:22:00.000+08:00

I'm tired. And it's only 10.30pm. I swear, we're being absolutely overloaded with projects and homework. I mean seriously, who can complete a 15 min powerpoint presentation with only 3 days notice?? Rawr. And I think it's getting to me. I've nearly broken down twice in the past week, although I don't think it was that noticeable.

Continuing on that note, I'm REALLY sorry to my group members for being so naggy and bossy and whatnot in the past few science lessons. I seriously need to loosen up. *Heaves a BIG sigh* I'm sorry, but you guys need to help me to y'know? Ah. Darn, I've forgotten what I wanted to write.

I'm sooo tired, but I still have the math problem solving template to do, which I really have no idea how to go about doing, and I need to research on Darwin. *Sigh* I'm feeling irritated too. At myself and the world in general. Why am I irritated with myself? I don't know, not really. Probably due to the fact that I'm so tired even though I slept at about 11pm last night instead of the (recently) usual 11.30-12am(next day) bed time. Oh well.

Yea, gotta go and chiong my work now. I wanted to blog more but I'm not in the mood for it. Haiizz..

Later y'all.

(feeling like the world's gonna come crashing down 'round my ears any minute.)

Lalala~

2006-02-01T13:49:00.000+08:00

Lynnette wants me to update. Rawr. Ok, so i'm not a consistent blogger. I'm also not always a mugger and not always a slacker. Hence my nickname on MSN: Doryy is inconsistent. Nya~

Sitting in class now, slacking. I really should be doing my Jap, but i can't be bothered. Hahaa... Oh well. Our civics tutor is on leave, so there's nothing to do.

We just came back from the CNY break, which I wasted most of playing FFX-2. Hahaa. X-2 is good when you want to play something that's not very serious. It's essentially just missions and side-stories, some of which are pretty boring. The graphics are nice though. I feel like getting FFXI and XII. I haven't even finished FFX yet. Getting ahead of myself aren't I. Hahaa.

BORED. Sorry, I'm not the best blogger in the world. I'm just not used to penning, er... typing my thoughts down on pape- oops, on the blog. Hahaa. Never kept a diary, never will. This is the closest I'll come to doing that. I s'pose it's an online diary, but I don't take it very seriously as you can see from the VERY inconsistent posts. =P Oh well. I don't even keep travel journals.

What else?

There's Frankenstein to read. I honestly, honestly think that it's easier to read than last year's Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde, but everyone else insisted otherwise. Hmm. S'pose it's a side-effect of reading 1000pg fantasies at age 11. Wahahahaaa.

Alright, nothing else to report at the moment. Got some subject-talk later. I SERIOUSLY think I should drop Geog. I think those who know my schedule would agree. I've definitely bitten off more than I can chew, especially come term 2. Oh well.

Sorry if this entry isn't very coherent. I don't write very coherently. I don't type very fast either. Nyaha... And I make incoherent sounds.

Grace is flutter-tounguing beside me. And she keeps telling herself not to do it. It's not working. Haha.

Lalala~

Right. I'm off. Will blog later. A LONG while later. =D

FREE PERIOD

2006-01-11T20:08:00.000+08:00

Hii. No PE today so we have 1 1/2 hour of free period. (1hr of PE and a half of break) That's more than I have for the whole year. Oh well. Ohoh, did I mention? I've finished playing Kingdom Hearts II (Jap version)!!! I finished 87% of the whole thing whish is quite good considering that my Jap isn't that fluent (yet). Nyaha.

There's a math test on circle properties later which I pretty sure I'm gonna fail. Darn. I need help. Seriously. I need to get my act together and stop slacking. Jap 'O's and Chinese 'O's, and promos for my 4-sub combi (9-sub for those still in CCHMS and whatnot). Die lar. Shall go and TRY and study for math.

BYEBYEBYEBYBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE. Nyaha. (I'm sorry, I'm just bored)

New Year

2006-01-11T13:24:00.000+08:00

Wahhahahahahaaa.... I haven't updated since... since... erm. Ahh, who cares. =P Nyahahaha.

[Graceness]
Hello! This is GRACE. I'm updating on Christal's behalf because she's too lazy to update THEREFORE I shall do it for her! Savvy? Yeah I thought so too. Haha =x

We're now in class having Civics and we really should be reading the letter which says "HELLO I AM MR TAN YOUR CHILD'S CIVICS TUTOR!!!!!!!"/the flyer which says "TEMASEK JUNIOR COLLEGE STUDENT WELFARE WELFARE DEPT PROUDLY PRESENTS..... SARS!!!!!" Okay no, it's about the Chinese New Year Carnival.

We're all in 2D05 and we're bored to tears. We have nothing to do and get this. Christal's the COOL REP. Yes. COOL. What kind of title is that?!?! Our principal is a mature young (cough) woman who comes up with oh, so, CLEVER names like COOL REP. Imagine seeing on your University Testimonial: Christal was a COOL rep!

-_____-"

I notice that my blogging style is considerably different when I'm blogging for someone and when I'm blogging for myself. I seem to type a lot faster too. O_O OH WELL.

Shara wants to blog for Christal now too so I'll hand you over to Shara. TAKE IT AWAY!!!
[/Graceness]

[Shara]

Oh well I'm just really bored because Mr Tan (CIVICS TUTOR) is boring the hell outta me. -_-" So much for Civics and bonding; he's quite studious (coughs again), interestingly entertaining and, uh, with a really style hair. He's telling us about bird flu, which I'm sure none of us are interested in, but in order to keep him (and us) entertained, we're actually interacting with him. :X Hmm, Civic's not gonna end till another 45 mins!? Mgawd what are we supposed to doooooooooooooo...

This is realllly getting boring. Check out www.thwartedhopes.blogspot.com for more interesting updates ;) I shall pass it over to Kaijie now :D

(Mr Tan insists "LET'S HAVE CIVICS" enthusiastically... Bye people -_-)

2005-10-31T11:47:00.000+08:00

Whee... It's the hols at last. Y'know yesterday when I was at dinner with my family, I kept having this nagging feeling that there was something I hadn't done. But it couldn't be possible 'cause, well, there's no school the next day! Sigh... See, that's what projects do to you. *shudders*

Anyway, I seem to have a pretty packed holiday. I gotta go back to school every Wednesday and Friday 'til Fiesta (End-year band concert) which is mid-December. I don't mind... Not really. =P There's the class outing to Seoul Garden for lunch next Monday. (Which is also the day we get our subject-combi, assigned classes and result slips. 'm Scared. Hah.) And I'm gonna go swimming with Shan tomorrow. =) Yay...

Yup, I think that's it for now. Cya...

Feeling morbid.

2005-10-25T21:24:00.000+08:00

I want know, how to take off my mask, to show you who I am, and what I really feel. But I think, I've forgotten how.

Hey peeps. I wanted to post yesterday, but the internet screwed up on me, and I lost the nice long entry I typed out. Sucky, ne? *Sigh* I wonder how many of you still bother to see whether I update my blog. It's been what, two months? Maybe more. Heh. I'm too lazy to put up a tagboard so I don't and can't know anyway. =P Haha.

Screw. I'm feeling really tired. I wonder why.

Last week o' school already. The last week for 1B/05 to be a class.

"LET'S GO, BANANAS, LET'S GO!" Yea, way to go girls. I'm actually glad (for the 1st time this year) that there was PE. Running together as a class, was pretty enlightening. Love the way we encouraged each other and ran as a group. I'm proud of us, we were the last to start, but first to end, even pulling quite a way ahead from the other classes. We were so much more enthu too. Mag, you were hyper weren't you? Hahaha... =D Lynnette, go work out a bit more this hols, 'kay? Don't die when we go back for PE (read: killer class with teachers who are out to get us all).

We got back our (kinda finalised) year-end results today. 'm quite happy with them. Expected it to go a lot worse. I really wasn't working as hard as I should've for the promos. Yep. Gonna aim for Phys, Chem, MEP and Geog combi if you didn't already know. I hope I get to be in the same class as you guys. x) Can't imagine a class without you.

SF6's gonna be split. But we'll still SF6. We'll keep the atomic spirit alive. =) Yup.

I'm becoming incoherent. And still feeling morbid, so that isn't really helping.

'Kay, shall stop confusing you guys, so I'll part with a few of my more recent poems. If you've any comments on these (rather depressing and sucky) poems, just talk to me on MSN or something. =)

Cracking (27/09/05)
How much can one take
before they start to crack?
How much can one bear
before they started to snap?

We are resilient,
forever bouncing back,
from stress and pain.
But how much can one take?
before they start to crack?

My mask (25/10/05) Feeling Morbid and Tired
The mask I wear,
has always been
there.

The mask I wear,
feels like my
salvation.

The mask I wear,
it is my
identity?

The mask I wear,
has numbed my
emotions.

The mask I wear,
is becoming
permanent.

I want to stop,
wearing the
mask.

I want to stop,
pretending to be
someone I’m not.

But.
I think I’ve
forgotten how.

The Sandman (25/10/05)
Eyes droop shut,
fighting against
the Sandman.

Slogging through
the night against,
the Sandman.

Wanting to comply,
yet still must fight,
the Sandman.

Finally I can,
let him take me,
that Sandman.

(This is the one I did for LA so it's probably much less depressing than the others)

The Might of the Sea (23/9/2005)
Great winds beneath the surface,
vast and untamed.
We’ve always desired that power,
that of the wondrous blue.

So many secrets
it contains.
Too many, countless
and feared.

Crashing of waves
on the sand.
Changing always,
the coasts and lands.

The essence of life,
always flowing,
never-ending.

--

That's all for now. Cya... *Tired grin*

The SSO and CHOCOLATE FONDUE

2005-08-28T17:02:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, Grace [1E], Kerry and I went to see the SSO perform. They performed the Roman Carnival Overture by Berlioz (harmonious and glorious!), Piano Concerto Op. 38 by Samuel Barber (*shudders* JARRINGLY dissonant) and excerpts from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev (alright, but I got lost halfway). SSO performed well besides the bass trombone, I agree with Grace, was irritatingly loud.

After that, was the fun part. We went to Max Brenner's chocolate bar to have CHOCOLATE FONDUE, and these 'Suckaos' thing-ys which were really nice. You melted your own choice of white, milk or dark chocolate and added milk to it. Then you drank it up using this thing which was a cross between a spoon and a straw. It was wonderful. Then, we had FONDUE. The 3 types of chocolates in their respective bowls set in a triangular structure. There were strawberries, marshmallows, bread and bananas! (Note that the following scene may differ from the actual incident because of Dory's short-term memory loss.)

Scene 1
Grace: You should dip in the white choc first.
Me: Why?
Grace: You'll dirty the light if you don't! [Light=white choc, Mortal=Milk, Dark=well, Dark.]
Me: *stare* Oh.
-Silence-
Me and Grace: WHAHAHAHAHAAAAA.
Kerry watches on indifferently.

Ahahaaaa, yesterday was really fun, yes it was.

Come the full stop.

2005-08-25T21:32:00.000+08:00

I like the full stop. . . . . . . They give the feeling of finality to a sentence or phrase. Sometimes, they even contribute to the sarcastic element of my words. This is particularly useful during MSN messenger conversations where I have ample chances to exercise the use of punctuation, spelling, and emoticons. Alright, this is where I stop waxing lyrical about the usefulness, simplicity and elegance of a full-stop. =P

Anyways, tomorrow is the end of the week and I am glad to inform all of you, that I survived. Through the dreadful, tedious grind of tests (LA, Jap, and Math), my new elective, the Physics of Kayaking and Sailing, and Shan have been equally helpful in getting me past these... challenges. To Shan especially, you know I will never let you struggle on miserably through the "calorie-counting, weight-watching, always-mugging" world all by yourself. *grins* Kayaking and Sailing has been cool so far, taking into consideration of the two facts: I love water sports, and I love physics. Physics is just too cool for words sometimes, although I do hold the knowledge that some of you (read: a lot of you) would deny with vehemence the beauty of physics. Ok, ok it's not beautiful, but it IS fun.

Tomorrow is our Teachers' Day Celebration. I would like to wish in advance, to all the teachers in the world, Happy Teachers' Day.

Whee... Stilts!

2005-08-13T22:57:00.000+08:00

Hihi, just back from wushu. Yup. Today was a slaaack class, with jiao lian watching our every move during the ti4 tui3. He was explaining every thing too, so I half-listened and half-crapped with my friends. Today was a slaaack class, yes indeed.

Lalalaa~ I was out doing volunteer work at Orchard Road today. We were promoting the soon-to-be-built youth park, *scape. We tried learning to walk on stilts, and Shan succeeded, although my balance was awful. Hahaa... Sorry Shan, you had to walk around on stilts for the entire 2 hours. I bet it was cool being taller than almost everyone for once right? Hahaa... We walked around handing out pens, calenders and badges. I'm so proud, I bet between the 4 of us (Grace, Michelle, Shan and me) we gave out nearly 500 calenders. It might be an exaggeration but it certainly felt like it. My ankle was hurting after it all though. Hmm, I wonder why.

Anyways, the sadistic teachers have set both the Geog. and Hist. on Monday. I am soooo not prepared. Shall be mugging Sunday away I think. Haiz. Ok, Doryy is tired. Going to sleep now. Will update later. Oh yea, the promotion of *scape will be in the Today newspaper on Monday. Remember to bring it to school Shan. Hahaa...

Another new blogskin...

2005-08-08T21:01:00.000+08:00

Haiz... The previous blogskin didn't work out. The picture wouldn't show for some weird reason so I decided to change it. Besides, I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment. Will hafta start chipping away at my homework soon though. Don't really look forward to it... =P Hehee...

Anyways, I went to watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory with Shan today and it was soooo cool!!! There was chocolate waterfall and candy apples and, and... erm, this show is highly recommended! Go if you love chocolate. Shan was disappointed that the boxes on put "Milk Chocolate" and didn't have "Dark Chocolate". Hahaa...

Today's National Day celebration at school was quite fun, especially mass dance at the end of it all. It was disappointing that we weren't able to watch the TASC's National Day video though. I heard that they put lots and lots of effort into it. And Jiggly, I am NOT sensitive. I was merely curious. *Doryy sticks nose up at Jiggly*

Yea, that's all I have to report for today. Dory signing off...

New blogskin!

2005-08-05T09:08:00.000+08:00

Hihi! I've finally changed my blogskin. Haha. Been meaning to do it since last year... =P What do you guys think about it? Something went wrong when I put up the tagboard though, so I had to take it down again. *frowns in consternation*

This week has felt really long and drag-y, although in general time has flown by on swift wings, especially this term. Haha. Got to go on the flying fox today. We missed the target by a bit more than a metre. Oh well. Some other group (Woonyee's I think) missed it by less than 1 metre. Haha, and we were so close to winning too. Yea, back to the flying fox. The girl who helped me onto the flying fox, Cheryl I think her name was, was like "You're so cute!" ^_^;;; was my expression. Hehe. I was a bit nervous when I was gonna jump off 'cause I thought I'd miss or something but I was quite accurate in the end. Even more shocking was the fact that I was so light that I actually bounced back and was in danger of going back up again. Haha. To quote Randall: "Christal, why are you so light?!" They had to grab my legs to pull me down. =P Hahahaa....

I'm so darn glad that there's the National Day break. Everyone's been aching desperately for a break. Even though there's lotsa homework, it's still a break, and a well deserved on at that. (At least, that's in my opinion.)

Yea that's about it for today. Shall update if there's any more news. Hopefully I'll remember this time. =P

Before LA, after math

2005-08-04T12:20:00.000+08:00

Waha... In class now, waiting for Miss Ying to arrive. She's quite nice, but a bit crappy. She can diverge from the topic at hand to a totally irrelevant topic. So pro at doing that. Haha...

Blahh... So sorry, I realised that the last time I updated my blog was like the end of January. This year's passed really quick. This week's been really long though. Yesterday, I kept thinking it was like Friday, when it was really Wednesday. =P haiz...

Suddenly, I realise that I've done a lot of things since I last updated but I don't really have anything to say. =P Hahahaaa. The UK trip was super cool though. I miss it a whole lot. Ah, melancholy strikes again. "In sooth I know not why I'm sad." (MOV I.1.1) We've finally finished MOV. Can't wait to start on poetry... Hehheee...

K, shall update when I have the time.

Still in school...

2005-01-28T14:12:00.000+08:00

Blah... Hi peeps... I'm in the canteen at school. Just finshed lunch after MEP lessons. I don't really have PDP meetings this week only 'cause I don't know when's sectional practice... Sigh...

About MEP aural lessons, we were sooooo fortunate. We didn't have to sing~! Yah...

I'm starting to crap. I'm bored... Oh well...

TGIF guys. Cyaz

Whee... Actually, I'm over here slacking in class, in TJ. About... Lessee... 5-6 people in class. Vivien's moaning about not being able to connect to MSN, and she just screamed at me for being able to. Poor Snow White's trying to help her, but I think the screaming not's helping his hearing. He's already deaf enough... =P

Hee... Sorry I haven't updated for sometime. Just not a habit, not like some people. *coughShancoughOlivia* I just sent an message to Olivia over MSN, she didn't get it... I think. I'm being lame I know. Lame-ing, rubbish-ing, litter-ing, cold-ing, crapping, crabbing, whatever Shan-nie can come up with.

Ooo... ok another one peering over my shoulder. It is becoming a trend. Very interesting.

I've run out of things to say. I'll blog when I can...=D

Cyaz...

Sch started liaoz....

2005-01-09T02:57:00.000+08:00

Haha... School's started for one week, and I'm having FUN!!! Yep... My class 1B rocks big time, the people are all very enthu, and I love 'em.We've been designing our homeroom and we got 2nd for the design! Slightly disappointed, but... We'll work harder to be the best!!!

Anyways, there were academic talks yesterday, and frankly, I was terrified by the curriculum. Sure, it looked fun but what if I can't cope? No matter, I shall take things a step at a time, one challenge at a time. I'll MAKE sure I can cope. *grins*

About the PDPs, I was thinking about joining M.A.G.I.C., but it clashes with 3rd lang...*wails* I WANNA JOIN!!!!.... Oh well, the only other solution is giving up 3rd lang, which I most definitely won't. And I don't feel like switching classes either. I am joining dance though. They are good, even being established only in 2003, they've already achieved a gold in SYF. It shouldn't be too taxing on my time. A fun way to excercise too.

I think that's about all for now. I'll update when I have the time. Cya! = }

going to Xia Men

2004-11-14T05:44:00.000+08:00

I am going to Xia Men on Sunday!!!

Actually, I pity my bro. Mum left for the US in the morning, Dad left for China the day before and is coming back on Mon. So if you do the math, he's gonna be left all alone on Sun. Especially, 'cos my flight's at 7.50 am. He insists on coming with me at 5.30 am to the airport.

The teachers want us there at 6 and we're meeing at 5.45. -_-'''' (we= miao ru, eunice, junping, nally, and huiling and i) At coffee bean. In order to get seats on the plane which are close to each other. Yea.

Blah. Other than that, I don't know what to say. Therefore. Byez! ; )

Juz after S'pore Idol

2004-11-05T13:15:00.000+08:00

Yo ppl...

Just finished watching S'pore Idol. The contestants were as... er, shall we say, as entertaining as usual. Voted for Olinda, and Sylvester (for my bro).

I was given the dubious honour of being 'tour guide' for the school open house. I keep thinking of it as my last contribution to the school... Then when Mrs Tan said that we could use the sentence 'we hope to see you here next year' as a closing statement, i was going -_-'''.... No, i'm not gonna cry. No, Kerry, I'm not heartless. Go chase Hsin-duck for that. Don't kill her though. Haha...

The open house's this Saturday (not like those at CCHMS don't know it), and we(the tour guides) had briefing sessions on Tuesday and today. The one on Tuesday wasn't that bad. We went of in groups of around ten accompanied by a teacher. Swapped the role of being tour guide a few times and got the general feel of being one. Today's was torture. We had about 20-30 people in our group and only two teachers. The 'parents' were uncooperative and it took half an hour just to get through one station, while the tour was only supposed to take one hour. Urgh. Poor Zhi Ying had to lug her guitar around the school and then we ended up at the same place as we began. She had to miss her guitar club meeting too.

That's about all i have to say for now.

Cyaz!

Blah...

2004-11-01T13:23:00.000+08:00

Hiee...

Just finished talking on the phone with Michelle.... She's going for the VIP. Good luck for the registration tomorrow. Hopefully you'll be able to oversome the anticipation of getting to know your new classmates during the principal's speech. =P

Just a summary of the past few days...

Saturday morning was alright, had to study for the theory exam in the afternoon. Couldn't remember the Italian, French and German terms, so I had to resort to hoping that none of them would come out in the exam. It was not as hard as I expected, seeing that I really wasn't that ready.
Then came wushu at night. I just figured out that my brother and I were the only green belt in the (advanced) class. It won't stay that way for long (I hope). We'll be having our tests for red belt next Sunday. At the most, it gives me an excuse to skip math class. =D The only real problem I have is with problem I have is with the 'da hua' of the staff. Jiao lian said I was using too much strength or something.

Friday was the last day of school. I teetered on the verge of falling into the group of people who cried because they were leaving CCHMS. Kerry and Wen Shan especially, they broke down several times. Actually, I didn't feel like crying until the class started to reminisce the times we had in the first term of Sec 1. When all of us were naive and shy. (Okay, maybe not naive.) We reclaimed our places, trying to recall the memorable moments of the past 2 years.
Then there was heartless Mei Hsin - aka Hsin-duck, the duck who tries to deny her name - acting like she was a sugar high. Said that she felt sad, but not sad enough to cry. Xin Ying and I started bombarding her with accusations, trying to make her go on a guilt trip. Suffice to say, we did not succeed. She kept laughing like crazy.
Also we had the Zhong Zheng Bian Bian Bian. 'Twasn't very good but at least it was better than last year's. That was an embarrasment in its own right.

Thursday was one of the messiest, most boring days I'd ever had since entering CCHMS. Not only was there miscommunication because of the bad weather, several students went home just because they thought there wasn't anything to do in school.

I had a dentist appointment on Wednesday. She introduced a new way of hooking the rubber bands on my braces to pull the lower row of teeth back even more. It hurt (and that's an understatement).

I s'pose that's all I can say for now.

PS: Kerry, you should be happy that it's becoming more 'chim'. Probably won't get any worse than that.

Cyaz!!!

Back from guides...

2004-10-23T16:25:00.000+08:00

Yo peeps...

'm tired... Woke up at 4.30 am to do the stupid letter for the Hostess badge and ended up doing the wrong one. Bleargh. Oh well... Good news is that the Sec 2 guides completed their gold badge. Which means we've completed our modules. Just as well since some of us are leaving next year.

Not really looking forwards to the guides' Dec camp. It's fun, but you go home more tired than happy. It'll probably be my last guides activity. = ( How sad... Ah well, the other IP guides say they don't wanna go back. I agree that having a CCA at TJ is more convenient, but I'll miss my crazy friends. Next year is also our turn, for us to become "ma'ams". I was looking forward to that. Then we'd be able to 'torture' our juniors too! *laughs evilly, then realises that she'd be youngest again next year anyways* Heh, got carried away. =P

Besides that, we still have the banner for the Sec 3 leadership camp to do. It's due on Wed!!! Mon I have piano, and art on Tues! I'll just have to prioritize my work. I can't let the others do all the work by themselves! (On 2nd thoughts, maybe I will... Muahaha...)

Anyways, I gotta go! Cyaz!

Crap. A lot of it.

2004-10-19T20:00:00.001+08:00

Yoz... At home right now feeling slightly sleepy 'coz of the late night the day before.

Sleep
Yawn.
Enfolded in the warm embrace
of the Sandman.
Yawn.
Eyes drooping shut
over the dry textbook of formulae.
Yawn.
Dreaming through the
thunder and lightning.
Yawn.
Sleep.

Newly written, as in half an hour ago. Inspired by the fact that I'm about to fall asleep at the com.

Anyways, I feel like getting all the crap about wushu outta my system before I start harassing anymore people about it. By the way, apologies to everyone whom I crapped about wushu to.

'Special' classes have been changed from Sunday to Monday. Felt really hyper after yesterdae's session for some weird reason. Like I was on high, on hyperdrive. Possibly 'coz I learnt this cool 'one, two, three, down' move in 'ba ji quan'. A bit like a fake sweep kick. Couldn't get it until jiao lian said sth about serve tea, don't want, keep and punch. (Being lazy. bleargh.) He said it couldn't get any clearer than that. and the move after that was like giving a high five. (So lame =P)

Secondly, jiao lian wants us to take the red belt test next month. Revised the 'dao'(saber), learnt the 'lian bu quan', and 'gun'(staff) in like 5 weeks... Felt like someone had pressed fast forward on the DVD player that's my life.

Before that, there was the competition and jiao lian only wanted us to do the competition 'quan'. Didn't do that badly really.Got an 8.31. 7 would be bad. 8.5 is actually quite good.

Wushu is fun! Haha... =D

I'm considering it for CCA in TJ. Besides MAGIC that is.

Oopsie, I gotta go. Update later.

Poems (for Kerry)

2004-10-17T00:49:00.000+08:00

Grey
//Hiding in the shadows,

lurking in the corners.

//Never showing,

never seeing,

always vague and always mocking.

//Neither white nor black,

Trapping those who try,

to see what does go on,

in the border-world of grey.

Exams!
Oh no!

Exams are here!

Slogging through the night,

Revising after dark.

Moans and groans come from

every class in sight.

Worksheets, notes, assessments,

all flying through the air.

See the frantic pupil

chasing after them.

See the diligent student

hardworking till the end.

Yet there are some people

who just don't give a damn.

The Day arrives.

Everyone is quiet,

even jokers are subdued.

Watch the cheerful teacher

stepping through the door.

Handing out the papers,

tension rises.

The classroom is filled with quiet noises,

tapping of pens,

pens against paper.

Some are confident,

some are caught.

The bell rings,

the paper ends.

//Chatter of the pupils fill the room,

inquiring and answering.

Another round of moans and groans,

now punctuated by smiles and chuckles.

Exams are finally over,

and life goes on as normal.

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!

2004-10-15T08:25:00.000+08:00

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Oh, don't mind me. Just feeling really hyper now that exams are over. Got the EL and HCL papers back today. They were alright, although I felt as if I could've done better in EL. Anyways, I not gonna cry over spilt milk. So there! *sticks out tongue at EL paper*

Just had my brother peering over my shoulder to look at the music playing. It's FF8's Balamb Garden by the way. Not gonna explain what FF8 is to those who don't know. Too lazy... Anyways, I'm attempting to play it on the piano and it's going on alright. The chords of the last part sound really weird tho'... Bleargh.. Ah well...

Al(my brother for those who don't know) is making weird noises. Pretending to have a fight or something I s'pose. Asked him whether he's done his homework and he said he didn't have any. Weird homework status for someone with exmas coming up soon. HA! That just gives me another reason to gloat.

Al's peering over my shoulder again. I am starting to observe a trend here... even if I've only updated this blog twice =P

I've got the TJ open house tomorrow. I've already got some CCAs in mind, like creative writing, Magic(anime club)... Really can't decide. If I'm gonna have 2 CCAs added on to 3rd lang, I'm gonna be very busy next year.

And then Mr Yue had to bring up the graduation ceremony. I wouldn't mind going actually, but I'd feel "extra", even if there were other sec 2s going. Majority of the students there will be from the upper sec. As long there isn't any attention to be drawn to us, it'd be fine...?

I'm off to play some games.

Updating soon!
Christal

In IT class...

2004-10-05T13:17:00.000+08:00

'Lo people.

You should be happy 'coz Kerry has finally convinced me to create a blog. I'm in IT class right now, which should be obvious by the title. It's so close to exams tho'... I promised Kerry that I would update regularly after exams. Let's hope I remember. Samy wants t' say something.

Samy: hi
Kerry: lame faeces. which is a nicer term for 'shit'. which i was gonna use on samy
Chris: She's exactly like my 8-yr-old bro who has a mentality of a 5-yr-old kid
Samy:bye
ZhiYing:bo0ya...ha ha (said by Samy)

Nally was staring at the com screen, reading what I typed,a few moments ago. Now, it's Yirui instead. They are fascinated by my inane rambles. So fun!!! *Kerry stares*

I gotta go. 5 minutes left.

Byez...

christal . iam utterly disappointed by your lack of complex words. *shakes head* take a leaf outta my book. or blog. :)
