DSAs
Firstly, we have been preparing segments of the SYF dance for quite a number of months already... Well...Its been only 2 to 3 months but doing the same thing over and over again like a pre-programed machine is attached with a horrible feeling. In this dance, I'm quite lucky the choreographer quite likes me so he gave me several leads and a position as one of the main dancers. The dance is only 5 minutes and 35 seconds but it seems like forever. Especially when the entire piece seems the same to me. So far we have only left with 1 minute left. But the beat is so fast that without running, it seems almost impossible to make it on time.
Secondly, I think I did mention that my studies are fantastically horrible. So. I'm going to try to apply for a Junior College(JC) through the Direct School Admission(DSA) program. Frankly, from my perspective, Dance is my ticket through school. I've used it to go into a prestigious secondary school that accepts only scholars or affiliated students. Since I am definitely not in either category, dance is the only way for me. Fortunately the school accepts talented performers, and they decided to give me a try.
Therefore, I will try to pull that stunt again. It may not work but it will be a good try. I'm quite interested in either CJC or SAJC. The former is because its a catholic school.Being in an Anglican school makes me feel like fish out of water... The latter is because my father says it usually performs for the MOE events and the ballet program there is supposedly good. I hope I'll get into a school. There will be plenty applying but I hope God passes me some of his good graces.
What will be, will be. But I want to have control over my future.

2009 Fears and Worries
I just woke up from a really disturbing dream so I'm feeling rather lethargic and detached from my surroundings. I'd think I'll do a little write up on my fears and worries as well as hopes for next year.
Next Year is the Huge O levels exam yet I cant believe that I feel so relaxed as am not event trying to complete my holiday Homework. I just cant kick this lazy habit of mine. I've tried to get rid of it but it always worms itself back in. I really want to be on top of myself(I dont noe how to phrase it so..) and give it my best shot but I need to thrash this evil deed of mine.
I'm also facing a grade 7 ballet exam in April or May. I'm rather worried about not being able to qualify for the exam as recently, Ms Kok had become pregnant and the class has had a new teacher that does not know how to teach and confuses us so much that I can stick my head in a whirlpool and still feel fine. The quality of my dance is not improving and I can hardly catch my steps so I'm so dead when Ms Kok comes back. I may not even take the exam....
At school I am still in the mist of preparing for the upcoming SYF(Singapore Youth Festival). I really hope to nail solos and be no 1 in the whole dance group but I also want to leave behind a legacy or sth. Something that when people look at my name and they will go"Hey, isn't that the girl who...here?" I really hope to receive the Caroline Lee trophy but I dont think I'm in the line up...
At church, I will have my confirmation on May 30th. That is if I pass the test. I'm not really sure if this is what I want, but then again, I cant back out of it and I really do like going to church with my friends. Not because of the camaraderie or the lack of two annoying noisy brothers, but I can finally be myself around them. Then again,I'm not really sure who I really am. I have so many social masks that it is beginning to tire me out. Quiet and anti social at school, open and daring at ballet, innocent and a nut who thinks blutack is cute for church, and so on and so on. I sometimes wonder if too many masks, makes my lose the actual essence of my very own character, and makes me similar to the devil...
More fears and worries, but I don't think I write it out, but I do hope to spend more time with my friends. They may not be close but they make me really happy. Its all in the attention. Attention makes me happy.

No control
Welcome to the world of Dance.
I just had my first full day practice for SYF in school. This is also the 3rd time we have seen Mr. Soh, the choreographer. Not that I'm complaining but the dance is really tiring and fast paced. Ther is almost no time to take a single gasp of breath of chill for a moment.
Mr. Soh commented that the dance was only one third completed yet we sounded like we were -I quote-"having an asthma attack". I mean I think he is actually rather cool but strict and determined to get what he wanted. And he shouts real loud, I mean his voice was booming. Some girls told me that info from their friends said that Mr. Soh once threw a chair at some girls.
I met my targets I set for myself today, but I didn't really like the outcome. I was hoping that I would get noticed and I did. He gave me a solo piece in the dance. It was quite simple but it was on my weaker leg.Pique turn, pique turn and double pique turn. then I had to do a back bend and kick my left leg to kiss it. It seems rather simple but try it with the music and some may faint.(LOL) Yay! I finally got a solo!
At nearing the end of the dance, I lost control of my right arm and couldn't hit the right beats. I got a huge scolding but it really is't my fault my right hand is weak.I'm a LEFT HANDER!!!! Can't expect me to be so strong when my arms are so thin...!
Anyway I'm dead tired and am having a flu. BUt still dancing.Haha. Good nite!

I cant believe I'm back but I am back
I went for my first ballet lesson the day after I came back. Boy was I in poor shape! Not that I forgot the exercises or couldn't do a double pirouette but I didn't have the stamina and I gained hell lot of weight!! I put on like what 4 kg??? I am officially a baby elephant! Worse still, its like my chest an immunity against fat! Come on! 4 kg and I'm still without a chest.
Oh the other day, Claire was at Paul's house and she used his account to prank on me. Well, actually both of them "pit forces" against me. Claire certainly has changed quite a bit after she nailed a boyfriend. I wonder when Mavis and Angeline will get their very own prince. I really doubt that I would really get a long term relationship. I've met quite a number of guys, went out with them but it was always not right. Some would say its not right to look for love now but I take it as a distraction from reality.
I'm not going to beat myself today... I'll save it for another time ,just before I go into depression. Cheerios.

Ipoh
If I dont come back looking like a hippopotamus, something must be seriously wrong... But really, I think I might put on about 3kg... I'm already overweight... People who see me in real life do not believe that I'm overweight cuz they have never seen me in a skirt or tights. I have a bulging stomach and flabby thighs. Funnily though, my upper body is skinny, mean I hardly have much of a chest. That not really something to be proud of, especially since I have an un-proportional body.
I wish I could grow taller, I dont mind at least 5 cm taller. I feel really awkward amongst my ballet group. I'm the shortest yet I'm the oldest. Haix...
I feel rather lethargic these days, I'm always thinks about this person. He caught my attention and now its hard to draw the line.... Someone plz lend me a crayon to brighten my day... PLZ....

Last Class of the Year
Just got back from the LAST cathecism class of the year... I really cannot believe that one year has passed,yet it seems that it was only yesterday that I got introduced to the cathecism group. I wasn't here for the first session cuz I had to follow my brother to the doctors' for re-stitching. But I put my all out when I met the group. I was pretty worried about first impressions and I was having some problems with my confidence levels then, so I didn't know what my teachers looked like for the first lesson. Even when I talk to them, I only looked at their collars...(so dumb)... IF the group saw this, they would go like OMG or really meh... because my current image now is a simple minded girl that is of those that are extroverts...(cant put it in good English so its bad)...
Luckily I bucked up the courage and made two new friends, Juliana and Marcia. I have met Juliana before but never knew her well(as a friend). Anyways we spent the entire class time(1 and 1/2hrs)talking.Well I talked mostly and they listened. Somehow it seemed that my mouth couldn't stop. Was named as a chatterbox after that...
The precious memories when:
1. THe class abt being unique, Louis claimed that my gift was keeping quiet. It was funny cuz at that time, I could not shut my mouth...
2. The lesson on Christian Morality or sth... It was the 1st time I learned abt the meaning of masturbation and the group realized how simpleminded the chatterbox was...
3. Was given the surname of Ang Ku Kueh
4. Paul and Peter flirted in Church and Peter blushed
5. The Archdiocese youth concert
6. When Louis made us sing the Mc Donald' song in cathecism class
7. Spending time learning and growing with the entire group in the spirit of Christ!
Well, now to today. I made a fool of myself. I got high by myself. Claire gave me a tiny piece of Blutack, but it didn't register in me that it was blutack so I went...SO CUTE!!! Then the entire group started breaking into peals of laughter and I realized it was only Blutack... I started laughing and couldn't stop laughing... I think I laughed for more than two minutes before trying to calm myself... Such a fool...
Anyway... I cant believe that I'm saying this but I will miss you guys(and gals) and will definitely missed go for cat class with you and I hope to keep in touch even after this... Cheerios!
P.S.
I cannot believe that Aloysius is in Choir! So will Claire and Juliana!!

Reflection
Sec3 camp
Until now, I don't really know if it was really a success. Yes, I did really have major loads of fun but not all the time did my group listen to me. Sometimes I feel that I was getting high by myself. I still remember Mrs Khor saying that she thought I was a rather meek student, but when she heard me at the camp, she was shocked... How could such a tiny person talk so loudly....? The camp really did help me get to know the class better, learn to interact, and to be a leader... This camp really has given my image a boost and helped me develop my attributes further... I really miss it...
Shell-eco challenge
This is and will be the most tiring science competition ever! But it was also the most fun of them all. Running, Screaming, Photo-taking,Eating on the run, (not to forget)running it the rain!!! Even though we won the 6th position, I must say, it was mighty good especially since the whole nation was competition... Oh! I nearly for got! I met two boys from SAPS, I didn't really know them but we had an inkling of each other... They were from SJI, if I'm not wrong they got the third or fourth position...
But but but, this prize was very dumb, first they promote people to take public transport then they give you petrol vouchers .... Dumb prize... In any case, we are students competing here... We DON'T drive!!!
Ballet exams
Not one. But TWO! Yes, the syllabus was taught in a rushed manner... But I tried my best. This first one was ok except that I deproved again. The second one, the results are not out yet... Nopes, dont want to talk about it, Andrea...
Birthdays!
I have to say, the way that you three organized an early birthday was extremely sweet, with the cake and all, no one really celebrates my birthday unless I organize a celebration... Oh! Mavis birthday was an ok celebration, no big blast, but at least people remember her birthday... Claire and Angeline, they were born on the same day, different times though... So sweet, just like they are twins... Oh and I found out Paul's birthday is on 4th March if I'm not wrong, since my mom's birthday was on 2nd March... Haha... that explains loads... Somehow, I don't really get along with people born in March...
Archdiocese Youth Day Rally 2008
Those who mocked me for thinking it was a concert, its my time to laugh in your face...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Dont want to post much about it except that it opened windows for me, introduced new perspectives and help better the communications with God, frankly are we supposed to hear a voice talking to us?
Cathecism Classes
The most fun year I had. My teachers, Paul and Louis made a great impact on me. Its really nice to have teachers like them. One is a real rascal, lame and easily bullied by girls, it gives me a thrill to hit him. The other is like a calming influence, he someone that is sensitive to nature, doesnt mind making a slight fool of himself for the benefil of others, overall, he is a very mature and caring person, unlike Paul who behaves like a 9 year old.
My group is and will always be the BEST!
The gang:Peter, Juliana, Marcia, Katherine, Michelle, Aloysius, Jeremy, Clemence, Gabriel and Benjamin.
Peter: Very mature and Calm. Don't know why you don't get irritated... I still remember you and Paul flirting in church... Even though I didn't see it, the way you guys reenacted the scene, it was really funny! You are probably the most hardworking of all of us, excluding the fact that you were rushing homework from June after the EOYs... Good luck!:D
Juliana: Lame and mature. Maybe its because of one hard knock too many thats why you are so mature... Even sometimes I'm jealous... I remember the time I was singing This is me in church and it ended with you singing We Rock for the entire class then Marcia reported me that I had over influenced you...Will miss your lame jokes while you are in China... Cheerios and Good Luck!
Marcia: Probably the friendliest that I know, I have never seen you down... Keep on smiling, you are contributing to global warming...Just KIDDING!! Previosly I had never known you but you have become one of my besties in church! Hope you enjoy your PA in the canteen...
Katherine, Michelle, Aloysius, Jeremy, Clemence:
Same thing to all of you. Thanks for playing along with my mindless antics. Though I don't know why you guys are so afraid to seat next to me? Am I too loud? And some times you play on my innocence, not very nice but at least you teach my some vocabulary XD
Benjamin: You dont talk much to us...Well you dont talk at all but it was nice trying to communicate with you. I know its hardly likely that you will be reading this but its a long shot... You know you have the ability, you know you can talk, deep down inside you know you want to talk, run, jump like us... So go break all boundaries~ I'll always be there for you...
This is like the entire year's post jumbled into one... Cheerios...Luv you guys...
May the river of everlasting faith, Love and Hope always flow within you...

25 inch waist
I just went for a dance practice from 9am to 4pm yesterday. Pretty long rite? make it longer for an hour and I'll start asking for pay... I had my measurement for costumes and my waist is 25 inches!! Damn it! I'm becoming fatter! How can my waist grow an inch!! Arrrgh!!! Help!!
I know I really should start on my homework and stop procrastinating. Its a devil's deed. oh. No new updates about Clarissa and Paul. But I hope they progress soon and keep their relationship strong. They are really compatible and look good together.(No, that is not a snide comment) I wish that they will keep it going forever. Its not good to think too far but it'll be good if they could keep it past Paul's NS or even better, University. Then the Flame of Love is really established. Love... Does it really exist?
I looked up the resorts AND Chalets for the cat class but I came up negative on most. Either too expensive or already fully booked... So sad... Anyway, I'm suggesting Camping. I don't know what the rest will think but yup, that my other choice. Its preety much the same, except w/o electricty, no showers, no air-con, no soft fluffy bed to sleep on. But we still have the best gift. The gift of friendship... Tell me what you think... Love you guys...
Cheerios!

Back from Batam
I went to Batam yesterday. Actually we ‘missed’ the ferry because it bus that fetched us from my mom’s school was extremely late! But the tour guide managed to pull a couple of strings to get us on the ferry that we were supposed to board. Kudos to Audrey!
Once there, we had a pretty smooth bus trip to the resort were we were to experience some family bonding games. There was this tele-tubby to greet us. I think his name was Po… Cute red fella… And I took two photos with it… It fell down when it wanted to give my brother a hug…Haha! So cute!
The staff gave us glasses of orange juice to refresh us… Apparently the elders were very thirsty ( or greedy). Then we proceeded to the ‘beach’. Well the beach was FAKE! They used imported sand because you could just tell from the quality of sand and the type of distribution of sand…. So obvious!
We were divided into two groups and play three games: Funny Bones, Murderer and Sale. I won the Funny Bones with my father. Very Fun. Should try it with other soon! I had to sell my brother for Sale, so I created some fairytale story about him and to my disbelieve, they bought it… So I won again!! YAY!
I did so well with my charisma and talking ability that the Game Master let me run the second round of games for the next group! I received plenty of praise from people! Yay ME!
We had lunch. Great lunch. Buffet lunch. Carbo-overload lunch. But it was worth gaining a few extra pounds… Then we went on a city tour… Basically we went to shop at two shopping malls. GREAT BARGAINS! I cant believe that things were so cheap there, except that the money was counted in so many thousands that my mom had to carry around a calculator to factor the numbers to get the value in Sing. I bought hell lot of things, nearly couldn’t stuff everything in my bag…HAHA!!
On the boat back, my mom, Tim and Tom and myself went up to the upper deck. We offered this Caucasian man a couple of potato chips and in return, he offered us a CIGAR! Haha! Me and Tim thought it was a chocolate stick, and wanted to take it but our mom stopped us… Phew… Cant imagine chewing on tobacco…
Will talk more about cat class in the next post. Kinda dumb to separate them, but yup, that is me!

Halloween
The church party is next week, though I'm caught in between going and not going..
Well Claire is definitely not going, Mavis is going if i am(I think)and angeline cant go...
I cant wait for my parents to come home. I want to start receiving candies and chocolates!!! But I wouldn't be able to consume them until much later considering the fact that I'm down with flu, a sore throat and slight fever... Worse still, I have lost my voice...
The last time I decided not to speak in cat class, the people mocked me and mad fun of me... Now I lost it again... Wonder what they'll do to me...

Back Again
I just got back from school. If you don’t already know,
I had a performance at Toa Payoh fitness and wellness centre on Sunday I did my make up myself…I cried when Suhana helped to put on eyeliner for me… Thankfully the tears made the eyeliner look even better on me... Haha… Luckily it turned out pretty fine… Then the terror came.
The hair style needed my hair to be teased; meaning- hair sprayed, pulled and messed up….Ahhhhh!!! I had so much trouble removing the gel and hairspray. But more importantly, I had to resort to cutting the hair ribbon to release the bird’s nest (hair). I spent approximately 15mins trying to untie it before I gave up and snipped it.
I actually wanted to return for catechism class after that. I could have gone, I was not late, but I didn’t want to embarrass myself with my large hairdo…
I heard from Peter and Mavis that the lesson was about Love, funnily Peter called it Christian Morality- as though he was afraid of saying the word Love…. I means saying love is ok right… Not like we’re supposed to look for teenage romances now… Then there’s God’s everlasting unconditional love for us and love from a parent to their child. Love is all around, Love is a wondrous feeling.

School on Sunday...NO!!!
Stop.
I have to go to school on Sunday!
Cuz i'm due for a performance...
Haha!
I get to skip cathecism class...
Haven't done that in a while.
I was somewhat hyper while waiting for Claire and we did talk abt some gory stuff for awhile.
If I do get injured and/or lose a limb, I hope I get this brain problem(sth Ai said, dont know what its called) that keeps on telling me that i;m fine... Strangely, I prefer to live in a fantasy world instead of facing up to reality...
Fairytales do come true...
Oh and I bought a new winnie the pooh mechandise(again)!
I think I'm spending too much on Winnie.

1st Day of Headstart
Today I hardly climbed up half of the staircases before I was nearly out of breath... I bet I was a limping zombie that stepped out of the shadows...
Nothing much to post today...Actually...;
We had a fire drill.
Just as Mrs Rao was going to give the English homework.
Everyone was so happy.
Was made fun of by two students from 3e6.
Felt so pai-seh...
Chinese Teacher asked me to take CLB...
I'm like the only one in class...
Feel so all alone...
Spirits are never high these days...
Like I so emo...
Geo was super boring...
I feel like such a weakling,
such a dum-ass,
someone with an IQ of 0.
Physic was ok I guess,
Started on a new chapter on the last 10 mins,
Reflection and Refraction.
Damn Sian lor..
We learn already yet need to learn again.
Cuz got 'new' concepts.
Now Let me go EMO for a while... maybe the rest of my life...

Archdiocese Youth Day Rally
I was dressed in a fitted singlet and (because my parent dont want me to go out liddat) a zip-up tee. Claire and Marcia commented that I looked as though I just came from some workout session... Well, technically I did.
I was in a pretty foul mood because I had to ask my parents twice before they drove me to church. So when Paul poked me once, I bellowed at him. He ran. I guess I should not have done that. After all, he is my teacher and I should treat him with respect(no matter how annoying he is).
When we were seated in our groups, I asked the class in a jovial tone if they had brought light sticks or glow in the dark bracelets. They looked at me as though I was nuts at first. Some mocked me saying that it was a rally(supposed to be extremely serious) and since the venue was Toa Payoh Stadium, they assumed that it was an open aired venue. They mocked me for thinking it was a concert...
However, my instinct proved correct. It was an air-conned venue and it was a concert. Kudos to me! My teacher, came up to me and said 'your light sticks may just work' meekly... Well the lights were not dimmed yet but there was a full band set on a plateform... So.
I was correct. They were wrong. HAHAHA!!!
The light sticks were quickly given out(I guess I should have bought more) and even the other parish sitting beside us requested for some. Unfortunately, we were out of them.
We had a blast singing songs and jumping up and down. At times my teacher would squeeze into our line and I shouted 'Oi! Fat guy! Move aside lah!'. Yes, I was being very rude at that time but I hope he does not take it to heart.

Audition for Paul the musical
No. I am not mad. It’s the Audition! Its OVER!!
Hooray! Yipee! Jump for joy!!
I sang song This is me in Camp rock, only the Demi Lovato part though.
But... I made a huge boo-boo by telling the director that I didn’t want to sing the other song because I wasn’t very good. Arrrgh! The song went well though, the director and producer were nodding their heads, so I take that as a good sign, and however, I did stumble over the words twice.
The emotions part though, I think I failed badly because the director kept asking for more emotions, Happy-Overjoyed, Sad-crushed, Anger-enraged!!! Die lah!!!
Then came the narrating part. I stood there like a stuffed dummy, unmoving, except for my eyes. I think I completely wreaked the whole thing. Mavis got a VERY GOOD when she narrated using her hands too….
I was smiling like a total dummy then. Brain was completely vacuumed dry of brain matter(if I even had any).
This is all about my Audition!
Baptized in SJI
Hello World.
Listen here to this total idiot! Made myself such a huge fool in cathecism class AGAIN.
Today we were given confirmation cards and Kathleen asked me where I was baptized. I couldn’t really remember the name but I said Saint Joseph Institution(SJI). Sorry to those that do not understand this huge booboo, because SJI is not a church but an all boys school…
Then I brought a really huge pencil, about 30cm long… They were really amazed at it… Haha…
I really cannot stand Auntie Agatha, the moment I saw her, the moment she spoke a word to our group, I really wanted to give her the evil eye and asked her to buzz off. She is just SO ANNOYING!!!
Later just before church session, Peter and Paul were flirting in church. Juz playfully lah… They are not gay, definitely straight. They were batting their eyelashes; shaking of eyebrows and (the last straw) Paul licked his lips seductively!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
That was the first time I saw a guy blush!! The first time I saw Peter blush!! Peter is supposed to be the ‘man’ of the group, more mature in the mind and body…lol… He blushes…
Anyway, I sang This is me in St. Claire’s Hall along with Juliana. Juliana kept singing We Rock throughout the lesson, so Marcia blamed me for over-influencing her…lolx…
We were joking about Aloysius and Michelle looking so cute together and screamed like super loud… everyone in the room turned and looked at us….
Anyway today was really fun. Next post, I will write about the audition for Paul the Musical…
Ta-Ta Now!

Sad song of the sea
Deadline is so close.
2 song to learn,
yet untouched.
My voice is being scattered over the sea.
Slowly dissipating....
Like the way Love abandons my heart
Like the way Grandpa abandoned Grandma for heaven
I want my life to be meaningful,
Full of surprises,

Champions
Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.
Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.
Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.

Fragrance of Freedom
The last paper is just over.
I feel nothing though.
Its gripping my reaction button.
Claire and Wern-li were behaving strangely,
at a busstop,
I think they lost their mind,
during the Amaths paper.
I'm regaining my sense of smell...
Because...
I can...
Smell the Fragrance of Freedom!

Run down
Man so tired today. Luckily I don't need to report to school today. Ha. only 1 paper left. A maths. Haix. Lets have a run down of the exams now. Realized that I'm actually taking 9 subjects. Which reminds me... In primary school, we only took 4 subjects!!
Amaths
Amaths paper 2 was fine… If you don’t count the silly mistakes and one questions that I obviously do NOT know how attempt. I have amath paper 1 tomorrow. Wish me luck. I really don’t want to drop it. I don’t know why I want to suffer, but I do.
Emaths
Emaths was a blast! I knew how to do almost all the questions. I completely forgot how to complete the square to find the maximum turning point…Haha but I managed to turn things around by using another method
English
I wrote CRAP for the essay. Bet I’m gonna fail compo again. The most popular topic was War. Of which most people wrote a narrative. Only after the exam ended did I realize that I could have written a expository on it. About how war devastates people, ruin economies and cause trauma. Especially since I learnt all about WW1 and the rule of Stalin and Hitler this past entire year…. Haix stupid me….
Chinese
Chinese was a major losing point. Paper 1 was horrible. Didn’t finish the piece. Paper 2 was more disgusting. If it was an earthquake, it would register a 9.9 on the Ritcher Scale. Minus 10 points for failing.
Physics
Physics was a major killer. It marked my grave. Half the time I didn’t know how to answer and if I did, I really don’t know how to write.
Chemistry
Better than Physics but never better than my humanities. I some times wonder why am I, a humanities person, in a science stream?
Pure Geography
Geog was good except that I interpreted 2 three marks questions wrongly. It was fun though humanities are my strong point. Perhaps I may think of majoring in that.
Elect History
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I’m laughing at those that studied
Social Studies
SS was rather fun actually. Counting that I only studied two chapters in depth. Luckily I’m rather good at spotting questions. Haha. I managed to answer all the questions and a two page eassay question! Yay!
Overall, I think my sciences suck major time and my humanities are like happy colourful balloons. Fail science, pass humanities. Usually science stream people fail humanities and pass Science like major-ly well.

Power of Prayer
Ahhh..... Jillian...I know you lied to me...you told me that my Ballet teacher just gave birth, but she's actually just on MC... I'm so gonna kill you when I see you!Ahhhh.... So embarrassing...
Today I had A maths paper two and Pure Geography. A maths was actually DO-ABLE for me! Claire acted as thought it was yet another candy floss... I know I won't get an A but I should be able to pass this time.
Next week I have four more papers. So depressing... Physics p1 and 2 and History on Monday... End at 2.45pm leh... So Late... I'm gonna eat a mountain when I get home...
Life really is beautiful nowadays... Before every exam,I pray. I prayed for the clarity of mind, the strength and courage of heart, the wisdom of mind and to complete the paper to the best of my capability. And HE did help me. I did not pray for my language papers and they were disastrous. I prayed for the rest of the papers and they were fantastic.
Such is the power of Prayer.

Exam Rush
Sorry I did not post for some time. Exam Rush...
The recent E maths papers were a blast! Yes, I do admit that the Papers were much easier than I thought they would be. But there were some that stumped me with their language. I'm not a very Language-y type of person, so if they twist the information a tiny-weeny bit,I'm gone. But I'm proud to say that I have done my best and figured out the answers using a different method that my teacher didn't teach. It was from my dad.
I still have 6 more papers left to go.... Pure Geography, Elect History, Amaths paper 1 and 2,Physics paper 1 and 2... Not a very appealing combination but its better than Mid years' combination... Anyway, I have to head off to do some revision for Geography....Its tomorrow,along with A maths paper 2!!!!
Byebye now!

7 precious gifts
Today we learnt about the Holy Sprit and the 7 gifts that it brought with it.
- Wisdom
- Knowledge
- Awe and wonder
- Right Judgment
- Courage
- Reverence
- Understanding
Oh. Paul, Marcia and Julianna cracked a Joke each. You have to read it out loud to enjoy it.
Marcia
Two snails were going to cross the road. Snail 1 crossed the road first and got knocked down by a turtle. The cop said to the snail,'Did you see what happened?'
Snail 2 said: 'It happened too fast'
Julianna
How do you spell Olympics?
Ans: Circle-circle-circle-circle-circle
*I still don't get this one. Can anyone enlighten me? I don't have the gift of understanding....
Paul
A man was driving on the mountains when his car stalled because it had no more petrol. A bee flew into the car and said:'Sir, you seem to be in some kind of trouble. How may I help you?'
The man told the bee his problem. The bee replied:' Wait here.I'll go get help.' The man waited.
Three hours later, the same bee came back with a whole swarm of bees. The bee told the man to open the petrol compartment.When the cap was unscrewed, the entire swarm of bees flew into the petrol compartment. Five minutes later, the swarm emerged and the bee told the man to start the engine.The engine started.
How?
It was because the Bee Peed(BP petrol).
* No offense meant to the company or to anyone. Sorry.
Leaving so soon?
I saw the new relief teacher today, she's so quiet!! Like a mouse... And she looks like she's fresh out of University or sth.... Ms Kok, shez leaving on maternity leave soon... Well, I shouldn't be calling her ms Kok right? Since she's married... I should call her Mrs. Leo....Hahaha.... Somehow just pronouncing it is funny...
Here's a video, its not me... I'm not that perfect.... Neither is this girl... She's is sinking in her shoes sometimes...
Mouse
Yet...
Why are there people who love attention? Why are the people who crave a loud environment? Why are there people who are too attention grabbing? Why are there people who are always in the know?
Hmmm....
Is there a balanced personality in this world? Or is it just me? Perhaps its my imagination?

The Truth About Me
The Truth About Me
© By Navid M. MeloI hate looking myself in the mirror,
I hate knowing I have fear.
I hate seeing what isn't there,
I hate feeling that I am scared.
I hate believing what isn't true,
I hate believing and trusting you.
I hate crying myself to sleep,
Forgive me for I have dreams.
I feel left out and all alone,
With no one to call my own.
My eyes are red and I cry blood,
Please help me or I'll cry a flood.
My friends see what I let them see,
If they only could see the true side of me.
And as I die inside with pain,
Please don't think that I'm insane.
Cause believe it or not I have a heart,
That's been slowly torn apart.
Lazy Chicken
Probably because I didn't study yesterday and that I slept for 1o hours... Thats about two days of sleep for me... Wow... Recently I had a small bout of insomnia so I woke up at 3 am every morning even when I sleep at 12am... So I got only 3hrs of sleep... Hey guys, this is the reason why I'm so emo these days... Forgive me ok? Blame my body clock...
Loser Alert!
Today I had my Inter foundation Ballet Examination... I was number 1 in the group... Cause I'm short... The other three girls were sec 1s... I was the ONLY sec 3.... How embarrassing... Anyway, they were super quiet... So I tried to draw them out by striking a conversation.... Two of the girls, Dian and Yu Bin(I think), number 2 and 4 respectively, came from CC Ballet centers. While me and number 3, can't remember her name, came from Crestar centers. I'm from CCK but she's from
Tampines. I totally wreaked the atmosphere when the examiner, Ms Wu, had to repeat two exercises' names twice for me... Looks like I'm not paying attention....Haix... And I screwed up the free enshamon... During the practice, I got the steps all right, but during the show I released the wrong foot and seriously screwed up! Anyway, I was completely off balance for pirouttes and off the music for the dance... I stumbled in all the exercises.... Now, I seriously wish and hope dearly to pass... I would be grateful if I even got a 60%.
Too sad to blog some more... Especially when I ran back to school for maths lessons, Li yi mocked me for my large bun(cuz my hair was thick and long...) So sad... I'm running into a shadowed corner. Where people disappear in the midst of the darkness where people sink into forever... Ice-cream, sweets, chocolates and Chilli,Here I come!

Freak out!
I am so dead! At 25th September 2008, 9.30 am a girl will commit suicide seconds just before her Intermediate Foundation Ballet Examination. Apparently, she had been suffering from depression upon learning about the examination. This article is to remind people about the stress that students face in life. DEAD. That's what I am going to be tomorrow. Now, at time moment, I simply cannot remember the exercises AT ALL!!!
I really cannot concentrate to study or go through my ballet uniform now... My legs are shaking from fear and anxiety and hyper-ness... Gosh... Looks like I really got high on white sugar... White Sugar has a disastrous effect on me- changes this little sweetie/monster into a hyper active simple minded brainless five year old kid...
I try. Try my best. Best to remember. Crazy Guineabird here is a mental nut case... does anyone mind giving me the woodbridge hospital number?
Breath.B.R.E.A.T.H...D.E.E.P.L.Y...N.O.W...
Byebye for now. Ta-ta...

Once in four years
1. First exam in the hall
2. First time sitting with Claire in the examination hall(Side by Side)
3. First GOOD Social Studies paper
4. First CRAPPY English paper
5. First time celebrating the start of exams
6. First time celebrating the END of Social Studies Exam(Can't believe it)
I just need one more first to bring the number to a nice complete number... When will it come?
Yes today was the first time sitting beside Claire in an examination!!! Since her name starts with a C and mine starts with a T, we are always seated very far apart... Today was the first time that we sat SIDE BY SIDE each other! Its amazing isn't it... We've been friends for almost four years now, yet we never got the chance to seat together...
After the two exams, Claire and I went for lunch at Bukit panjang plaza... I'm so furious!!! I was Q-ing up to order the type of noodles for the yong tau foo but the super old guy came and cut my Q lor... If I were not wearing my school uniform, I would have shouted at him... I have a "NEW RESPECT" for the Elderly... Anyway after lunch, we went to the library an got high and lame, picking out emo books and bimbo books criticizing them on their "crisis" in life.... broken nail and boyfriends leaving them for four months.... Wake up you bone heads... Have you been drinking so much alcohol that your brain has been scorched by the sun???
I still miss some one from the past... A single mention of your name releases the flood gate of your memories... Even the pain still twinges at my heart... The happy memories, the angry memories, even the painful ones still lurk in the shadows of my mind...

Heyya guys. Sorry I have not blogged over the weekends. Because I don't want my parents to know about my blog... Don't want spy... Anyways, on Saturday I had my last ballet lesson before my exam on this upcoming Thursday....Super NERVOUS. Hope I remember the steps...
I went for cathecism class on Sunday...The lesson started with Louis making us sing the Macdonald's Song... it was so hilarious! Juliana, Marcia, Peter and I were very supportive, Ok... Everyone else was so dead... We shouted the 'Hut' every time the song was sung... Some how, I think that Louis was rather embarrassed as only he seem enthusiastic and warm in that freezing icebox of a classroom.
After that, we watched a movie about how a bridge conductor sacrificed his only dear son to save an entire train full of ingrates, the same way GOD sacrificed his only son to save humanity even when it seems that only one women's life changed after seeing his pain and suffering. Unfortunately, the sorrowful atmosphere was destroyed by some cold-hearted teens that were sniggering and laughing at the conductor's pained expression.
Later, Louis solemnly announced that that Sunday would be the last time that we would be seeing him because he was going back to Indonesia as he had completed his studies... We will definitely miss him for his jokes and entertainment. However I do regret ignoring his request for me to talk to Benjamin and treating him shabbily on the first encounter with him. Too bad we didn't take a group photo to remember him, but its not like he died or something but ya.... I do sincerely hope that my prediction two weeks ago will not come true,that my group might be deserted by both teachers and AUNTY AGATHA will preside over group 7...NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Oh beg the heavens and GOD that that will be a faulty prediction of mine... Anyway, we will remember Louis Giamin in our minds.
Later in the evening, my parents brought my brothers and I to the Singapore Flyer. Recently, quite a number of people have ridden the Flyer this month.. Perhaps its because of the free tickets for teachers... In all, my parents only had to pay $75.90 for 2 adult tickets and 2 children tickets. I was supposed to take the adult ticket but the lady at the counter gave me a children's ticket and gave mine to my brother who is under twelve... Arrrgh.... At least I won't grow old so fast...(smiles) Below are some pictures taken on Sunday...

Laughing Stock
At the 15 min break for lunch, Wernli stepped on my foot just as I entered in the class and was sent flying in... Luckily there was no teachers in class at that time or I will wear a ski mask tomorrow!!
Again, the class laughed at me... Sigh* Today, I seem to have the words 'laugh at me' printed on my forehead. Laughed at twice, still not enough... I was made a laughing stock in ballet training today. Apparently I filled up my application form for the Grade 7 exam by putting SMSS as my full name... I guess I;m really not looking where I'm going or doing today... My eyes have ran up and hidden themselves in my hair...somewhere...
Sigh... ta-ta for now... really don't want to blog so much today...

Scatterbrain
Today I had geography Coasts test and it went like CRAP! I didn't know what the questions were asking and all of a sudden the teacher announced that we were also tested on MAPS... Horrible woman... She did not even inform us that we needed to bring a protractor but ,I being a physics student, alway have one in my bag. As such the teacher made me give the protractor to her to share with the class... Darn her... Should not have given it to her because when I raised my hand to use it, she did not bring it to me on the account that others were using it... In the end I did not even finish that question... Haix.... So saddening...
The sorrowful day is not over yet... After 1hr of free period(mr.lee, SS teacher was on MC) which I spent talking to Olivia about the pending Chinese Oral test later on... Our standards are way below the average class standard. You could say that we always felt like fish out of water every Chinese class... Olivia and I were freaking out about the oral, saying it was damn hard and we were going to throw the teacher a blank look... Haha.... Cursing ourselves... Sigh* Anyway, the passage reading wasn't that hard but the conversation bit was my stumbling block but I prayed to God earlier to give me strength and the ability to let the teacher understand the garbage that was raining from my mouth. And he did.
I feel kinda bad about buying Nerds and not sharing it with my brothers, espically since thomas shared his bag of Fizzy Kola Candy with me... Guess I'm not just double faced(make that triple) but also mean... What's wrong with me?! I'm demeaning myself.... Stop this you fool...
Sori... Need to leave to send my straw brain for stuffing... ta-ta and bye-bye now.

Problematic
Well today, my English teacher blew her top and stopped teaching for half an hour. Instead, she let us do our own work because some girl at the back of her class was furiously trying to complete her homework from another class when she was going through the test paper. So she graded some passages that she had given us yesterday to complete...Unfortunately, I was one of the 'lucky' few to be picked to get it graded today. Not that I did not do it or am extremely shy about it but I just did not feel like being a GOOD girl today... Anyway she said that I only achieved her expectations for two out of the three passages... Mighty good for me but I guess she expects more from me since I am seated next to an English Pro lah...
I wonder when the Girl Guide Cookies are coming in.... Not that I'm in guides but I miss those luscious chocolate mint cookies that come every year... Sigh* Those cookies are going to disappear during lunch very SOON...
Not that I am complaining but I do wish that my dance teachers would stop nagging me to work on my left foot arch... I am a ballet fanatic but I do wish to nurture and develop my love for dance when the time comes... So far I have excelled in all dance modules that my school has done for Physical Education and in my CCA - Modern Dance. However, I am extremely weak at Hip hop for no apparent reason. Perhaps I am not too used to dancing on my hands since I have been trained in classical ballet since I started training... Its natural I guess.... But still... Oh! I nearly forgot! My cathecism class teacher, Louis, remarked (incredulously) : 'You can DANCE??' OM GOODNESS!!! He has been attached to my group for half a year and he still doesn't know... My second teacher,Paul,knows. Though I do not remember telling him that I was in dance, he knows. I think he got the information from Claire though... Since they are quite chummy...
Anyway, I have to get back to the grinding table. So ta-ta.... See you next time...

Risen Again
I wonder if blogs do help people that feel in distress to display their feelings without gaining public embarrassment. Anyway, today I managed to finish the Additional Mathematics Revision Test paper on Trigonometry. Strangely, I seem to be doing better at trigo compared to the other components in the syllabus of both A and E maths. I wonder if it has anything to do with the usage of the left and right brain.
I felt wonderful until my maid had to serve me lunch(horrible tasting one!) at 4.57pm.... Does she not know how late it is for LUNCH.... I think I have to put in several extra hours at the dance studio to work off the extra fat...
I hope I do not turn anemic or bulimic.... Seriously! I haven;t had a proper meal since last Monday... Well, I fell sick and haven't been able to recover from a persistent cold and cough... Still, that does not give me a good reason to miss breakfast, skip lunch and eat a measly portion of dinner because my parents are present at the dinning table....
I just discovered a friend's blog and it seems that she has been harboring a crush on my teacher... I will not tell who but if you are the one reading this, you know its you I'm talking about this...

Am from Singaore and ready to start a cyber life.. So if you come across this and have something NICE to say, then tag, if not please keep your comments to yourself.
Thank you and will God rain down sweets and chocolates soon?
