7 precious gifts

Hello. Again. I just came back from Sunday Class. Today the group was kind of awfully lonely. Paul was doing the lesson, so he was not with the group and Louis is gone... So the group was pretty much like hanging on a thread. But Peter and some of us tried to get the group together. But it came down to the proactive ones that participated. Still... I wish they would concentrate more on the Lesson.

Today we learnt about the Holy Sprit and the 7 gifts that it brought with it.

1. Wisdom
   
2. Knowledge
   
3. Awe and wonder
   
4. Right Judgment
   
5. Courage
   
6. Reverence
   
7. Understanding

I was assigned to do Knowledge and so was Claire! Well I learnt that the gift of Knowledge was to be able to comprehend the basic meaning and message of God. Personally, I do not really think that I have the Gift of Knowledge at all, or if I do, I don't use it. I hope one day that I will be blessed to have all 7 gifts, so that I can be furthered ushered to be more in the likeness of God. When Catherine was explaining about Understanding- that the gift of understanding was to be able to understand what somebody was saying. While she said the previous statement, She kept on gesturing to her Right. I was sitting directly next to her....

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?

Hey once again... I finally finished by inter foundation examination on thrusday, so my ballet teacher started on the grade 7 syllabus. The Plies exercise is so (erm) over the top! This grade is so Romantic ballet... Quite different from the other grades.... This one, I really need to be captured in a dream-like state, to give an illusion of grace,poise and fluidity...

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

Why are some people just so quiet? Why are some people so ignorant? Why are some people some time? Why are some people so aloof?

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. Melo

I 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

Arrgh... Chinese Exam p1 and p2 was such fantastically difficult papers...
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!

Back Again...Sugar level super low... Fluctuating moods....

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!

Oh no...OH no... OH No.... OH NO... OH NOOOOOOOOO.....

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

Heyya people... Today brings about many firsts...

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...

Behold the Singapore F1 attraction

Laughing Stock

Totally Embarrassed at school Today. First, I pretended to eat sweets that the actually printed on my chemistry textbook and was laughed at by the entire class... I wonder whats wrong?! I was really hungry and a smell of roasted chicken wafted into the class lor... Then the sweets really looking extremely appealing and colorful that I could not resist imagining eating them...

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

I feel like a fool. Yesterday, I posted that I had three tests today, but in actual fact, I only had two... The last test is scheduled for tomorrow... Not today... Sometimes I wonder if I have a brain... And if I do, where do I keep it?? Certainly not in my skull because if so, it would have started working long time ago... diaoz....

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

Darn it... Well I just realized that I have three tests tomorrow... I can't imagine this! I have not started studying and I'm stuck to this computer!! Someone pull me away FAST!

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

Heyya... Decided to try continue to blog just for the experience. Seems more and more youngsters are turning to WEB logs as a diary instead of writing in a book. I wonder if it is because they just love attention or is it that they want to publish their thoughts on a platform for the public to view. Even now, political leaders are also starting up blogs to reach out to the younger generations, are blogs really such a powerful tool?

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...

Newbie

Hey hey,
I'm new. Just started... Wonder what I did in my early fifteen years.
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?
