WOOHOOOOO~
What I enjoyed the most during chinese new year areeeee..... REUNION DINNER & RED PACKETS!!!!

So how's your cny?

CNY eve
REUNION DINNER LUNCH! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!

First day of CNY
I slept till i was so satisfied, SHIOK!
Dad, my sis & I went over to my grandpa's house at Kallang.
It has been a year since i've seen him (my dad sees him every weekend) so...
I was wondering why, out of the 365days, i'm so free to visit him only during cny.
He is as healthy as he can be.
I think I changed a lot so i'm worried he can't even recognise me. =(
we received his angpaos & went to my cousin's house.

My stomach was bloated, too much food, little digestion.
We went separate ways, i went to meet Regina at Orchard.
We managed to watch about an hour of 'The Wedding Game', all thanks to Regina's sister! She's so good!
Then we left the cinema to meet Jaslin.
Sat somewhere opposite Heeren, watching people skating & flipping.
We had satay near Youth park,
last but not least, home sweet home!

Second day of CNY

It was another day I got to sleep without anyone waking me up.
I met Jaslin, Amelia, Sherman & we went to Rina's house.
then to Jaslin's house...
Regina's...
lastly, mine.
Dad didn't buy any decorations this year, it looks very plain, paiseh paiseh. XD

All of us had enough coca cola at Jaslin's house.
We played card games.

so many hongbaos!!!!!!
the next day, it is back to school. =(

END,
GOODBYE.

Friday, January 23, 2009 1/23/2009 11:24:00 PM
what can i say...
Happy chinese new year eve!!



Freakin' tired right now.
I can hardly get up on my feet again to throw rubbish now. -_-
MISERABLE.
Neck ache, Leg ache, stomachache, there aches, everywhere aching.

The past few days weren't easy & good for few of us.


Friday 24/1/09



I grabbed the picture from Rina's blog. ^^
The CNY dance perf was ok for me.

Mistakes many many, but its ok because... no one can do such perfect steps, or only you know you've made a mistake and the people watching you thought that's the way.

We've got some good comments that our dance is nice. I hope they really meant it.
I believe they enjoyed the starting part. :P

It was like we're practicing like hell, waking up early in the morning to practice dance.
Stayed up in school till very late, the sweat, pain, tears, etc.
the hardwork we had put in, people can't see when we're performing for them.
I really want to thank my fellow seniors & juniors.

Please cheers up mandy, your friends are also 1st time performing, great job!

Now, my eyes were like running tap water, I was lucky the sepak takraw ball isn't made of metal or not i've give each a them 2 punches in the eye each. It's really freaking painful when the ball hits you! What duh hell!

My class has won 2nd place for cny inter-class decoration.
Congratulation!
I wonder they kept some snacks for me or not. :/

Dance prac, i was late.
Learnt new sequence... got more familiar with the counts... Ms liew seemed frustrated too.
Mrs Lee's daughter joined modern dance, i don't know whether to feel worried or not.

Saturday 25/1/09
I had my cny shopping spree with Regina.
Only the two of us because the rest of them already has plans.
Thank you Regina!
Afterwards, we met Wanxian & Jaslin.
We went Shokudo to eat.

Jaslin bought a very cool boots.
Mine is just brown flats. hehe
Regina managed to find the right sandals she wants at vivocity.
I regretted not browsing Forever 21 shop at Wisma atria, the one at vivocity actually sell plain long sleeves top.... Zzzzz
maybe next time.

We finally got to go home.
It's really tiring.

Today,
I just had reunion lunch with my family & my sis's bf.
My big sis is going to 'fly' to India later in the evening.
Bon voyage~~
This is sad man, she still has to work during cny... Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Im eyeing for channel ?? ?? 9pm movie show: Kung Fu.
WAHAHAHAHA


END,
GOODBYE.

I agree with most teachers that class 4EN is getting noisier day by day.

Mdm yong distributed 2 books, its so new that it make me felt so happy.
One was the 'o' level paper, its very very thick.
The other is newspaper article, A5 sized book.
She asked us to tear out the answer at the back of the book, i got an urge to tear the whole a5 sized one too. -_-

Beijing students & some teachers visited our school today.
They're friendly & I wonder how they felt about our chinese lesson -_-"

and then finally!!!! , amath, last lesson of the day.
and.. finally!!!!! I understood how to do 'Differentiation' but don't understand why must we do this.

Went for calligraphy practice,
Competition is on wednesday.
I've got a clash with p & vp meeting.
Omg.
What to do.
skip both? -_-

something which i would like to ask them... so is p or vp... ?

Anyway,
dance today is quite tiring.
Added quite alot of steps, or should i say ms liew changed quite a lot.
Today is the opening of school gym, i wonder what its gonna be called.

currently what i want to achieve now is to complete my incompleted homeworks. YOSH!
may sound easy but its up to my degree of hardworking-ness.


END,
GOODBYE.

I enjoyed watching Ponyo on a cliff by the sea!

It is really uber CUTE!
I always love japanese animated movies like spirited away, totoro, grave of the fireflies, etc.
So, i look forward to more of such movies!!

Dance practice today.
I want to apologise to Julinan.
Because she make an effort to help with the new steps yet we disappointed her.
I laughed, ya, i upset her first.

and sorry for wasting everyone's time.
but, thanks for coming.

There will be cny rehearsal next monday, i shouldn't listened to the 'n'/'o' level talk last night... i couldn't stop thinking about it, the pressure, the amount homeworks we're gonna have, the after-school programmes, the stress, the EXAMS. I'M GONNA BRUSH IT OFFFFFF... AHHHHHHHHH. (well, at least for the meantime, everything has already been planned for the sec4/5s. :/)

Today, Mr Lathif talked about peer pressure during pc lesson.
He may look serious but he talks about examples which i enjoyed listening.

Dance is quite fun for me today.
I hereby welcome the sec1s who came today, 7 of them, all girls.
Not trying to be "sexist" but the club really lack of boys. its very serious.
i felt very upset for the no. of people but hope there are still more willing to join.
Please change your mind & join md. =)

We did not have time for ice breaking games, they have to watch & suffer at their very 1st day.
Count themselves lucky to join SYF if they can cope with what we had done now.
Ms Liew added and changed steps today.
Huiting still can't do the floor work thing, i really wish her all the best and turn her body successfully, of course not hurting her shoulder la. Its really painful.

When its time for the malay dance to use the studio, we left asap. XD
We kinda used up some of their time. oops, sorry.

Afterwards stayed in school...
helped with the photos thing...
had dinner...
YuQing kept yawning XD, yes she's really tired.
7pm is the parent-teacher meeting.

It ended not too late, school closes at 9pm.
Not just only the PTM, its also our sec4 cohort day!
Hurray!

Mr Oon showed us pictures of some overseas trips which the most sec3s last year had went to.
It was memorable.
The Beijing one is really very long man, i was hoping for Vietnam ones. haha XD

I count tmr as Ponyo day for a few of us! lol

END,
GOODBYE.

Wednesday, January 14, 2009 1/14/2009 10:15:00 PM
School is fine today.
Received the straits times as usual.
Surprisingly, there is no run tmr which i thought there was! -_-

Homeworks... homeworks... & more homeworks. Never ending.
I only wished for weekends to come quickly.
imagine there are only saturdays & sundays. WOW. That's is NOT going to happen. :/

Check out the papers, there is going to be a NAFA open house on 16th & 17th jan and LaSelle open house on 17th & 18th.
Good thing they clash. lol
can save the trip of going to and fro. both places are quite near, i guess?
oh well, i'm looking forward to their exhibitions & shows.
there is also err, ' Teenage killed mom over video games'
inhuman.
what i want to say is, having newspapers, paid by your edusave, although just once a week....
still have to do reflection!!! yes, its also part of my homework -_- just unhappy, no fun.

I can't believe Mr Z experienced stains of blood splashed on him, when somebody jumped off a building @ toa payoh... imagine that particularly scene. -_-
What's true he said was that the person already died before he landed on the ground.
what's funny is that you won't have an idea what's the person's gender...
what's gross was that the head could be flown away before it landed.

err, yes, another picture-less post.

END,
GOODBYE.

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 1/13/2009 08:34:00 PM
Sometimes I felt to have more dance prac.
Yes, it's tiring BUT a great opportunity.
Since most of us going to step down soon. :l
and i also trust mr dinesh, as our 3rd teacher i/c. well good luck. Hope to see you dance too.

Another reason on 'why i felt to have more dance prac?' is simply because i'm bored.
I found myself something to do after school tomorrow. . . . class deco!

Just got the long awaiting school handbook, gonna flood homeworks inside, i see nightmare in the school attire page. gooosshhhhh.
I find the cover very nice too!
I discovered that student council investiture is on 17th april! yay!
i can collect award which is also equals to $$! (pay phone bills, wth!!!)
DAMMIT.
I lovvveeeeee CNY! Reunion dinner!!! Steamboat!!! WOOHOO! Lots of movie on ch8, lol.

PONYOOOOOOOOOOO. . . . . . Rina, Huiting, Peiyun & I is going to watch this sat! anyone is also interested in Red cliff?!?!?!
takeshi as zhuge liang. OMG!

i also congratulation to those who received their 'o' level results yesterday.
drums rolllll for the next batch of people taking Os & Ns. . . . .

END,
GOODBYE.

Monday, January 12, 2009 1/12/2009 09:22:00 PM


LOL, most recent photo taken, which is after the tedious cip.
Credits to Julinan!

1st thing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RID-RID-RID-RIDUAN!
so fast 16 years old. :O

Anyway!
Tons of homework waiting for me to get rid. How i wish I can "sleep-homeworking", lol, i already told this to some people during the camp.

I still have 2 more chinese newspaper "jian bao".
My sis took a few pages off, and there goes my assignment. -_-
Now i have to find someone to lend me theirs.
WTHHHHHHHHH.

Ms Liew finally started syf since the start of the year. haha
I didn't catch what she wants for the dance, but its something very new, I hope it does to everyone too.
Tomorrow is the next practice, jiayou.

END,
GOODBYE.

Saturday, January 10, 2009 1/10/2009 08:42:00 PM
St John flag day.
I always feel like having competition with other schools, although with the same tin cans. haha!
This is sec4&5 first & last cip of the year. lol
I'm so contented!

This time, asking for donations isn't as tough as the one we had during sec2.
Thanks to the stickers.

Huiting, Julinan, Rina YuQing & I went to Ang mo kio.
All we can do is just stand aside, wait/hint people for donations. They will really come & donate.
seriously, i spotted only one 'shuai ge' and he donated!!! lol

So relieved that all of us returned to school with heavy tin cans. XD
Happy & really tired.

Went to kfc to eat.
and then went home with Regina.

NOW, I desperately announces that I WANT TO WATCH RED CLIFF 2!!!!!!
WHO IS INTERESTED!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."


END,
GOODBYE.

Hi, just came back from camp long ago.
What i'm feeling now is what you all will always felt.
tired? lethargic? exhausted? restless? sad? frustrated? sleepy? vexed?
I really need long rest.
-YAWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN-

I don't want to be part of a camp anymore la.
Before/present/after camp are all HELL.
Some activities i do enjoy, some definitely no.
I enjoyed the lights off part. LOL and, CCA fair, etc.
I kept my mouth shut though.

There is CIP tomorrow, simply trash & not in the mood to ask for donations. -_-
DAMMIT.

Shall find get some photos taken during the camp from Reeza.
Hehe

END,
GOODBYE.

Wednesday, January 07, 2009 1/07/2009 09:53:00 PM
SHIT! I deleted my post!

-_-

Basically, I real tired right now!
And have to get prepared for tmr's sec1 orientation camp!
It seems that non-group leaders are much busy than group leaders.
ZZZ

Anyway, Sembawang shopping centre' daiso is a must-go! :P
It's real BIG!!! So much things!!
Espirit shop is there too!!!
Too bad i have there's no phone reception :S

School is ok today.
Mr Z is our CME teacher, he's awesome!
Humorous teacher. haha
I remembered him saying about 'recycled biscuits', some poor countries could not afford even a meal. And he says those stuff that comes out of us human, people will take out those liquid and it'll dry up, add VANILLA ( puke!), shaped it into biscuits and whua-lah! delicious biscuits! (puke! puke!)
He even taught us the skills of studying.
well, sadly i forgot some -_-
But it has, register, recall, revise...
Why can we sing the national anthem? Because we somehow 'practice' it everyday.
Same goes to studying. haha

I'll look forward to CME lesson again. :)

After school,
have to attend a meeting before camp day.
How disappointed, we sec4s which are involved in the camp can't go for NYP open house tmr.

Btw, i've seen the school's magazine.
I ruined my reputation but that's all right. People can laugh/joke all they want man! :D

I've got to remember the camp proposal!!
I don't want to be over-confident or I'll make mistakes more. :(

I'm so excited for CCA fair & campfire!
Hopefully Modern dance will dance at the parade square along with other CCA, this is fair.
Reason is because people can always see the dance studio everytime they want.
There is nothing much in there too.

Really hope soon-to-be-senior dancers to put in their utmost energy, yes, of course the seniors too. All for the dance!
All for SYF!
All for the sake of a dance studio now.
Which is not expected since syf 2 years ago.

I better go and pack my stuff!

END,
GOODBYE.

Monday, January 05, 2009 1/05/2009 07:43:00 PM
Bad day,
because i'm too tired..
tired..
tired...
tired....
tired.....
tired......
sleepy....
weak.......

-_-"

Supposingly to have a happy spirit to go to school, go for cca, and go home...
All because of meetings and -.- and -.- and... -_-'" etc.
I want to give up already...
give up what? I don't know, may be some things in my mind.

Oh ya, today is the first time i step into the dance studio!
It has irritating echos, freaking cold air-cons, mirrors that made me go dizzy, floors which made my feet feel worse than the gym, glass windows which are too open -_-.... lol.
Yep, count us very lucky to have a dance studio already. :P
I just miss the old gym :/
It feels more lively in the old gym, carefree, fun, lovin' it!
But now...

haiz..

Yep, today I had drank many mineral water and managed to get my feverish head better.
Bravo -_-

Mr Dinesh is our 3rd dance teacher-in-charge. WOW.
this is absurd.
Just unhappy with the rules he had set.
It seems like student council dance club than a carecarecarefreeeeeee one.
What to do.
Get a gold award for syf and quickly step down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Homeworks and more council stuff to do.
I WANT TO DIE LAH.

END,
GOODBYE.

Beautiful Saturday (:

I was late for the 9am meeting and I woke up at 8.30am. RUSHY!
I had very heavy eyebags & it really can kill me... -_-
All of us learnt new cheers and stuff, and I think its the most exciting part of the meeting.

After meeting, i went to have dance practice. I was late also. XD
Only 5 + me = 6 came. Can say disappointing but we managed to add some new steps, rehearsed some old steps and ended.

Sherman left and the rest of us, Joanne, Julinan, Rina, Huiting & I went to eat at mcdonalds.

Watched the movie 'Bedtime Stories' with Peiyun, Rina & Huiting.
I really hope one day it rain gumballs. hah!
Yep, the guinea pig in the movie is uber CUTE! Those huge eyes which looks very innocent to me sometimes.

Happy endings is all up to yourself, whether you want it to remain unhappy or change it!

I came home and the drama has started. Late. lol
In the end i still fall asleep when i wanted to watch that show so much.
zzz


Okaeri - a sweet live by Ayaka!

Its the first day of school.
I celebrated new year with the joy of receiving dance videos and completing my english holiday assignment AND sleep with a peace of mind.

This year is my 1st year in school to have such a tiring 1st day of school!
I don't care!! Just fulfill my resolutions for this year!

I went to school feeling so awkward, because of my school socks, etc.
Mr Tan has no change in him, talks about school values... etc.
I did not remembered seeing any sec1s leh, just so weird.
I can't believe I'm already sec4. . . soon going to be sweetbitersourspicy 16. HAH!
Class form is Mr Lathif and I swear I geonna work hard for all subjects.
Or I'll disappoint him again and again. :(
Brenda is our new chairman! Vice is Mariska. :D
It's quite funny when mr lathif said he wants to keep Darshen in the cupboard cause he's too chatty.

During recess, I met Huiting, Rina, YuQing & Peiyun in the toilet and none of us eat.
We sat at the wooden bench instead.
Ms Loh was spotted at level 2.
Someone said Ms Loh has nice specs.
She said, "Does it make me look fierce?"
we answer, "No"
and she "fainted"
LOL
Yep, she's still my class's English teacher. :O

PC lesson and then the BELL RANG!!!
I love fridays, because just 2 three PERIOD lessons. -_- Except that there wil be extra lessons for sec4s. UH OH.

How do you feel when you suddenly have a briefing from 2.30 to 6?
. . . . goshh, definitely not what i expect my 1st day of school to be.
Before that, Sherman & I was not allowed to use the dance studio... :/
Well, we've searched high & low for the teachers and we couldn't even reach them during the holidays just because we want to have practice in school.
At least we got to plan out formations and stuff.
Ouh well, i have to stress that I'm not stressed at all.
I'm learning to say 'no'.
*NO MAN NO MAN NO MAN. . .* (shuddup)

Mariska, play for me that familiar piece of music I asked you next time! :D

Briefing, I hope we had done our job for the proposal of sec1 camp.
Its really tough to run each and every event.
Thanks to Mr chang's understanding and patience, we hope to run the camp well, i mentioned we and hope it is all of the SLs & GLs.

OK, there is a dry run session tmr.
REST WELL TO ME AND YOU.

END,
GOODBYE.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
2009


I MISS MY PASTS.
My resolutions are to achieve at least a SILVER for SYF dance, pass all my exams with distinctions ( :O!!!.. i'll try ;) ), to be healthy, happy, more fun filled experiences for me!!

Ok, that's all.
I'll take one step at a time. . . . .
