Last day of the year

Today is the last day of the year, and I'm rather sad to see year 2004 go. It's been a fun year, but then, memories are always in me, and beautiful memories they are too...

I really enjoyed this year, because so many things have happened. It's sad to know that they are just mere memories embedded in my mind, but I'm glad to have kept a journal and written everything down...Even if a tsunami hits Singapore, I will always harbour my memories in me...

I'm sprouting nonsense again, a tsunami can't hit Singapore! Why, the whole island will be underwater by then, and look at how many lives will be lost--billions of people! Wow...see how nature can really destruct the whole place just like that...I'm amazed...

Band Chalet

The chalet was fun, and rather boring too. Very ironic, I know.=p But the barbecue was great, and I've learnt a new game "tian xia wu di". I observed how the guys play, that's how I learn. =) Okay, just say that my power of observation is good.

Before I continue any further, I just want to say this--Jeremy does NOT like me, so please do not get any dirty thoughts or anything. Haven't you heard of "friends" or what? Don't you know the meaning of "friends"? If people tease me any longer, I'm really going to flare up, and I'm very dangerous when I get angry. I will say things that hurt people and make them hate me, and I won't care about their feelings at all; even if they cry or what, I won't budge, so be careful not to make me flare up. I really dislike it when people tease me about Jeremy, because for one thing, we are friends, just mutual friendship, and for another thing, some people think I like someone else (I don't know why too.). So, I repeat, stop teasing me, or you really will regret it when I get angry.

So, anyway, like I said, the barbecue was great, and the game Halo 2 was fun, though to find enemies to kill is more fun than to find and kill each other. And who says it's not a girl's game too? It may be hard to control, but it's fun, though I prefer "Dead or Alive 3". For heavens' sake, it's not perverted, and I'm not refering to X-treme Volleyball!!! -_-

So, anyway, we played wacko, and it was really funny to hear poeple calling out Chinese names and nicknames of others, even pointing in the wrong direction.=p We saboed Junjie and Steffi many times, haha...Although I was caught but Jingyi and Junjie, I caught Andy and Junjie in my turn. I wasn't fooled by fake directions they pointed because I knew where they sat. =) See, I'm so smart...*mischievous grin*

Ah well, I better look for more quizzes to do, so bye!

Christmas season

Christmas is over, I know, but the season is still here, so of course, as luck will have it, we're having El Minstrel VII in 2006! that's right, El Minstrel VI was a success, and we've put up a good concert. Thanks for coming, 2E, and Miss Cheah, Roy, Willfred, Shawn etc. too. Wow, it's the best Boxing Day I've ever had, and Miss Cheah even commented that I was "the only one swaying to the music, the rest all stay put." -_- It's good to see some familiar faces from my primary school, so of course I was really happy to see them turning up for our concert. Haha, Roy was still as silent as ever, and it wasn't until I "accused" him for not saying anything then he said, "Byebye.", and grinning some more?! ... ... *-_-* Too bad Xin Hui couldn't come, she would have loved to see Miss Cheah again...

So now I'm here, taking a break after all the practices for the concert. Seriously, it was worth it, and amazingly, after sleeping at 12 plus in the morning, I managed to wake up at 7.55am. I'm an early bird, and never wake up later than 9am. See, but then, thinking of tomorrow's City Slickers makes my stomach squirm, because of what happened last year--run here and there until I couldn't catch my breath, scary but fun. =)

Hey, I also received a new handphone from Dad as Christmas present, and I'm sharing it with my sister. We'll only take it when we go out, so it's fair that everyone gets a chance to use it. Only Wei Rui, Xin Hui and Elaine has my number, haha...it's hard for people to know unless they spot something unusual about me! =p *mischievous grin*

Nothing to say...

I've nothing much to say, except that later, I'll be meeting Wei Rui to give her her Christmas present. Really, I'm very tired and I know I'm going to be fined by QM for the "unshining" instrument tomorrow. Huh, it's tough to really make my instrument shine with no marks at all, and hello, how old is my instrument? Even if I manage to clean up (which I took a long time), it's going to take me forever to make it look good as new...*sigh...*

So, Christmas is coming, El Minstrel VI is coming, and what progess have we made? Very little. Hey, band, I know you might go and kill me for all you want, but I'm going to say this even if it makes me an outcast. Why can't we play well? I know, our band leaders have been saying that if we want to achieve a gold for SYF next year, we have to improve and enjoy the music etc., but I just want to say, we do not play music well just for the sake of getting a gold. We produce music for the sake of music, to feel the music, to enjoy the music, to let the music engulf you in its wonder. If we play well just for the sake of getting a gold, you might as well not play at all. What's the point of playing music if we can't appreciate it? I know, I sound as if I don't want a gold for SYF, but then, that's what music is about. Not for a gold, but for appreciating its beauty and wonder...I really don't want to write it down, but since I've started doing that, I might as well be frank and say what I feel. Kill me all you want, jeer for all you want, I don't mind.

Really.

Happy Birthday, Fatin!

Hey, it's Fatin's birthday today, how could I have forgotten?... ...My memory seems to be reducing, and I'm supposed to be expert in remembering people's birthday! *innocent look* Argh..., I think I must have been sick for too long...and now it's affecting my memory...wth...

I seem to be more morose, cold and sensitive nowadays. Whenever I see all the beggars on the streets (namely, the one at Tampines Mall) and think of those charity shows, I get really angry. No, don't interrupt, I haven't finished yet. I begin to think of the animals out there, animals who suffer as much as we do yet they can do nothing about it. So many things are being done to help our fellow humans, is there much done to help our fellow animals? I may be prejudiced, but I definitely will support the animals no matter what.

Call me insane, call me animal-mad, call me a fool, call me any name you want, but I love animals more than humans. This has already set my mind to such an extent that I don't complain as much as before, and I don't fear as much as before. You cry when you are in pain, don't the animals do so? They have feelings like we do, why must we mistreat them as though they are mere animals? Humans are also animals, in what way are we more superior than them?

Perhaps I'm biased, but really, I have given much thought to this before deciding to jot it down. The world is definitely unfair, in both humans and animals alike. Now, I don't dare to use the names of animals to describe people, because animals do have their pride after all...

Going mad...

I'm going bonkers if I continue putting up with my juniors' rude attitude towards sectionals. Who can stand it if they just can't keep quiet for 5 minutes while going through all the errors made in their playing? Perhaps my expectations are too high, but at least they must learn from their mistakes, not repeat again and again, and worst still, forget their fingering...I'm still unwell and rather weak, yet I found myself shouting at them during sectionals this morning...I really need a rest... ...

Drills tomorrow eh? Sorry, I can't take drills, I'm still unwell, and anyway, I have an MC. Oh well, since we are supposed to carry our instruments when taking drills (requirements of SYF), bring it on! (Though I probably won't have energy to play by the time I carry my tuba for 1/2 hour...)

I love unicorns, purple unicorns rule the night sky! Mysterious yet beautiful... ...

chalet

Sorry band, I fell sick again yesterday, thus I had to ask for Bao Ying's permission to go home during break. But never fear, I've been to the doctor, and he gave me an MC not to do physical activities (like drills? =p)...I haven't touched my instrument for 2 practices, and I still have to wait till I'm better before I start playing again...*grumbles*

Oh well, the chalet was fun, and it was the first time I get to play X-Box. You have to bring your own games though.(The chalet is at NTUC Downtown East.) Wow, 'Dead or Alive 3' is the best game I've ever played! We played tag battles, and I was so determined to defeat my opponents, I replayed and replayed until I dealt the finishing blow. Helen and I even replayed 6 times just to defeat Hayate and Ayame, who were really powerful. It was the longest battle I had when I played, you could imagine how numb my fingers were by the time we won over them! But it was worth it--Christie and Kasumi rock! Haha, I only stayed there from Saturday to Sunday, and now, I kind of miss playing 'Dead or Alive 3'. It beats playing Street Fighter on playstation because there's no tag battles! Oh well, girl power rules! =p

Yes, I'm much better now, and good news--I've finally finished selling my remaining 4 tickets! Yahoo! ;p

blog background

I've changed the background to purple unicorns and the music to "Silver Bells". Perhaps I may change the background music to other Christmas carols, but we'll see about that some other day...

I'm feeling no better than yesterday, but I can manage. If I don't get any better by Monday, can I have the permission not to do drills? I'm not well, yet I came to band yesterday just to hand in the money for the tickets, when I could just rest at home and wait till I'm better (if I get any better.). But anyway, I'm kind enough to let Wang Zi have a chance to play the tuba while I just sit there and freeze...

Alright, no time to talk about my unexpected sickness, but just to let you know, I'll be going to a chalet later. I won't get the chance to eat barbecued food, but anyway, who cares...

Sick...

I fell sick yesterday with a temperature of 38.1, yet I dragged myself out of bed today just to go to band and hand in the money for tickets (does anyone knows whether tickets will be sold on the day itself? I have 4 left, and I'm still waiting for replies...). With runny nose, fever and sore throat, it's amazing I can still stand the cold in the bandroom... (well, my hands were cold and pale...)

I know this entry is going to be short, and I don't feel like blogging anymore. I must rest now, because I still have a chalet to attend tomorrow, though I won't get to eat any of the barbecued food because of the condition I'm in...Well, anyone wants to buy tickets for El Minstrel? Better turn up on that day then! =p *ahtishoo, blows nose*

Thursday's outing

I had a lot of fun at Bugis Junction on Thursday, where I hanged out with Xin Hui, Wei Rui, Guan Wei and Yishu. Haha, we took a few neoprints and later went to Seiyu to look at some stationery and also to the mini arcade. The arcade was totally awesome (though I didn't play), and we kind of enthusiastically encouaged the two guys to beat the zombie hand and shoot all the figures that came out. It looked fun, but since I've had enough of arcades, I didn't buy any tokens to play.

Well, on our way home, we saw some of Wei Rui's choir friends at Kallang, and decided to alight at the next stop, run as fast as we can to look for them, and hop into a carraige just as the door closes. We did it twice. Haha, it was "totally freaking me out, knowing that I was a bit goody-goody" (just kidding. I do have intentions of running out of a carriage into another one sometimes.). And, Xin Hui and I finally got the chance to see who was Ray Rin, haha. He wasn't that you-know-what, like what Wei Rui said, and anyway, my advice here: if he wants to ask Wei Rui to be his stead, he has to be patient. She's not into BGR, so, forget it...*keeps a straight face*

Oh well, hope we can organise another outing together, and may we forever be the best of pals! *Cheers!*

Nice music...=p

I've changed the music to Harry Potter theme song (Wei Rui, do you like it?), though there are some well known Christmas songs which I may add (like songs from Christmas Pop Sing-a-long). =p Enjoy the music, folks!

It's 1 December, and the concert is 25 days away, and our performance currently SUCKS A LOT!!! Where has what Mr Suichi taught us gone to? Hello, SYF is coming next April, and we are still in this lousy standard?! Hey guys, if you ever read this entry, please bear in mind that if you all don't buck up on your playing, gone is our El Minstrel VII, gone is our gold for SYF...

Back at last

I haven't blogged in here for 3 weeks, because I couldn't access to the internet due to some idiotic virus of the spyware. Dad had to re-setup the whole computer program, so now, I'm back again.

I'm creating a quiz on myself now, so if anyone wants to answer it, just give me your email and I'll send it to you! If anyone can get 100% correct, wow, incredible...you sure do know me! But no cheating and repeating the quiz--it isn't fair.

Well, I'll be going out with Wei Rui and Xin Hui on Thursday afternoon, so I'm really looking forward to it. We haven't gone out together before, and I was suggesting that we take a neoprint card (since WR had grown scared of taking another sticker neoprint.) instead for a more memorable keepsake. =p Oh well, we'll see about that...

- WerUi

2 more days...

We're going to Genting Highlands on Wednesday! I can't wait to play the roller coaster (and scream my head out? No thanks, I'm not the type who screams even when I'm scared. I have the ability to convert my fear to something good...)

Hehe, just chatting with Wei Rui on MSN. Oh yeah, I'm thinking of buying some sourvenirs for some people, especially Wei Rui and Xin Hui. The other people? You'll find out someday... *chuckles madly*

Haha, welcome to my blog, Cheng You! Finally found it eh? I apologize for the weird background, but anyway, it's kind of nice...and yeah, animals rule the world! *cheers*

So excited...

I've bought my books, so I can start reading them...haha...

I heard the opera singing of The Merry Widow while in my aunt's car, and I had a disgusted expression on my face through out the journey...

Alright, I've finished summarizing, I'm off to dinner. Bye!

Nothing to do again...

I'm rather bored nowadays. Had I not have a holiday in Genting Highlands next week, I would have been bored to bits...

Luckily for me, I'm busying myself with making a handphone pouch, for whom, I'll decide when I'm finished with it. I've already made one each for Wei Rui and Xin Hui, hope they'll like it! =) I seem to plan a lot of presents for them, hehe...

Well, there's not much to blog for today, so I guess I'll end here! Oh yes, happy belated birthday to Poline!

Class Chalet

The chalet I went to yesterday was great, and I'm looking forward to going there again, with my cousins this time. I bet the first place we would go after exploring the whole bungalow is the arcade...=p

Hehe, I like the chalet, full of greenery, fresh air , somemore near the beach, a place to relax and ATTACK THE PLAYGROUND!!!!!! *innocent look* Haha, with my cousins around, we simply play any game that comes to mind whenever we go to chalets, especially the frequent visits to the arcade...(I go there to enjoy the air-condition...=p) No, only the guys play more, the girls just watch them waste money... (though we also play some racing games and I'm pretty good at kick-butting those bad guys with my cousin as ally. I don't play Metal Slug X on playstation for nothing, okay...)

I hope you enjoy the music. (sorry, no pop request, only classical or instrumental) I may change the music when there are any I like. =)

Forgetful mind

I forgot to wish Yue Yang and Geraldine Happy Birthday yesterday, forgive me for my forgetfulness...

I've finally finished all my homework, and I'm left with nothing much to do except to clear all the junk from my study desk and cupboard. The stack of worksheets from my files totalled to a height of around 15cm altogether, so have fun recycling paper! =p

I've decided to add a midi player to my blog, if there's any opinions of the song, feel free to tag. *Wei Rui, you're going to love this!*

Fury of retaliation

I feel that I cannot ignore this any longer. If you want to test my patience, so be it. I shan't use the tagboard to write down what I want to say since it's going to be very long...

Whoever you are, you obviously do not understand what I'm refering to. For me to be grateful...ha, I'm grateful for who I am, I've accepted myself as who I am, and when you say my personality sucks, it is VERY obvious that you do not know me well, or I should say, you barely know me.

Why do I say so? Firstly, very few people know me well (and it's not even 40%, I can tell you!), and being such a reserved person, if one can answer all these questions accurately, score 100 for that. I'm giving this little quiz to find out how well people know me generally, so here goes:
1) What is my favourite colour? Give a reason why.
2) What is my favourite animal? Name the species and give a reason why.
3) What is/are my favourite song/s? Name 5.
4) What can I not live without? Name 5.
5) What is my favourite singer/band?
6) What are my favourite books? Name 5.
7) Why do I watch some specific shows eg. Pokemon, The Champion, Teen Titans?
8) How will you tell whether I am feeling unhappy/angry?
9) What is/are my favourite place/s to go besides home?
10) Who are my close friends? Name 5.
Bet you that none can answer all correctly, not even close. Try to know me well? Better not risk it...

Oh yeah, I'm feeling this same mood like Bryan. If he can voice out his thoughts about what's he's going through, so can I, only that my eyes are narrowing dangerously. I don't want to be a murderer, but if I ever find out who has been tagging all the sarcasm, this person is going to be deadmeat...

Holidays are HERE

First day of holidays, and I've finished one of my homework. Haha, now I'm kind of wondering how to get to the class chalet on Wednesday (I'm not staying overnight.), because I forgot to ask what is the chalet number yesterday...so do you think I should go or not? I've paid $12 for it, but I don't really know the number, how to find them? Unless I'm sick on that day, I have to go...

I'm now researching on Classical period music for my essay, so after I finish it, consider my 2nd homework done. =p Hey, Wei Rui is going to her class chalet at Costa Sands, I forgot she once mentioned that. Well, have fun there, pal!

I've got to check whether there's any homework at More@once, bye!

Last day of school

Today is the last day of school, and I'm now resting my sore and blistered feet while attacking the keyboard in front of me. I wore the court shoes and later the rollerblades--it'll be a miracle if I didn't get sore feet...

Today's performance was quite good, though I noted that we didn't really follow Mr Chua's rhythm at first though we caught up after one bar...haha...Well, there's only two holiday homework for me--Chinese and Music. A miracle, ever since we were loaded with homework last year... Social Studies? No group, so I don't have to do, even if it means losing this CA mark which isn't much big deal anyway... (I'm trying to be optimistic here, so please do not be sarcastic and bombard me with critism in my tagboard...)

I'm now halfway through my Chinese homework. With luck, I'll have finished all my homework by the end of next Friday. I'm not as lazy as what you might think, especially when it comes to homework. I suffer before I enjoy, get it? And, I improved tremendously! From last in class in Semester 1, I jump more than 10 positions to be somewhere... =p Even my level average improved a lot. I'm so elated, but ow...my feet hurt a lot too...-_-

2nd last day of school

Now, I have another deep secret to keep for someone, and like I've promised, I shall and will not reveal it to anyone. Haha, today's rollerblading was fun, though my ankles felt as if I'm still rollerblading... =)

Today, the students from New Zealand arrived at AHS, and I certainly enjoyed laughing at the all-too familiar Maori war-dance. Not at the dance, at Zhong Ting. I couldn't see Jeremy, and Wei Theng was doing it rather well... ...(*haha* =p still funny) Seeing Zhong Ting doing this war-dance is totally unexpected as he isn't the kind to do it...haha...hope he enjoyed the bombs yesterday! =p

Triple Science or Double Science isn't important to me; what's important is that I have vowed to do well for Sec 3 next year, and I have set targets for myself to achieve it. I've already lost that CA mark for social studies, I can't afford to lose any more marks concerning any subject...

Sorry...

I shall not apologise for the anguish I had unleashed just now, this will always be printed deeply in the bottom of my soul...I shall never forget it...

I played the second round for interclass competition for captain's ball against 2A. Wei Theng, you are a good player, just don't overdo yourself and injure yourself alright...you slipped and fell on the wet ground, you accidentally banged into me when playing against 2C (I was standing outside court and holding my book.)...but good game. Haha, the 2A captain was really good, and Quan Heng still sucks... I was on the court because I could defend well (too exaggerating to say that no one could beat me in defending, Qi Qin...). I can't defend if the ball is too high, chances are, I will hit the captain behind me. I've done it a good too many times...-_-

I've applied for the GCE 'O' Levels music course, at least I can tackle my aural which has questions about the style of music... I've gotten back my results for Grade 6 today--a Merit! Yeah, exactly a Merit, I've been keeping the tradition since Grade 4...hehe...

WHY???

Can you believe that I'm actually crying now as I write this? I've cried for nearly the whole morning, because I was so full of unhappiness. I've been rejected by Hui Xian's and Philine's groups--because "we have enough people", "we have already started researching". 4 people is called "enough people", I wonder how good their Maths is...I'm not trying to be sarcastic here, but since they didn't want to accept me, they are the cause that I lose my CA mark for SS. I don't have any group, I can't do the project, and I might as well not do it! Even if I do, it'll be for nothing.

I kept saying, "I don't care, and I don't want to care anymore... ... Forget it, just forget about this CA mark!" when I wept. I really do not want to care about my academic anymore. It isn't important...it really isn't important to me anymore... ...IT ISN'T IMPORTANT TO ME ANYMORE!!!!! WHY? WHY ME? WHY AM I ALWAYS THE OUTCAST? WHY AM I BORN INTO THIS WORLD? THIS WORLD ISN'T MEANT FOR ME, I DO NOT BELONG TO THIS WORLD!!!!! I DON'T!!!!!!! WHY AM I ALWAYS THE LONELY OUTCAST WANDERING ABOUT THIS PITIFUL WORLD WITH FEW AIMS? WHY? WHY? WHY?

Last week of term 4

I hate social studies! This research coming up is a big headache for me, especially since only groups of 4 or 5 is allowed. Now, you may ask, what's the big deal, but it's because: 1) I want to do alone, 2) I doubt I'll find a group to work in, 3) Other than groups of 4 or 5, no group numbers will be accepted, 4) It counts as a CA mark. How much trouble can this cause me when I'm such a independent loner? It means I'm going to lose a CA mark, and you know how much I depend on my assignments to help me do well academically... I may just say, fine, who cares about a CA mark, even if you do alone, it can't be accepted anyway, but I'm afraid of getting into trouble, and I'm already very troubled. No one really seems to care about working with me...how I wish I have dengue fever so that I can stop worrying about this...a dengue fever that will never recover...I know it's very silly of me to think of contracting a deadly disease when nothing goes my way, but if I don't get a group to work with, I'm going to fall into depression just like that. I think I'm on my way to depression now... ...

22 October 2004, Friday

No school today, but I have band at 1.30pm. Well, my results suck, especially Science and Chinese. The Science wasn't to our expectations--so many failures, and the level average was very low. I was lucky to have passed all the subjects, though my hopes of getting to Triple Science have flown away...

Rollerblading was fun. I learnt how to do a heel-stop, and the turn-in, turn-out. I tried a backskate unsuccessfully, but nevermind, I can practise any time since I've got my own rollerblades. =) I can't wait for the next lesson to learn more styles!

Wild, Wild Wet!!!!

I'll just summarise the whole events for the past few days. On Friday, I went to Kinokuniya to read books and bought one--Lassie Come-Home (I'm totally devoted to animal stories!!!). The Chinese paper will fail me, I bet... On Saturday, there was band, and the attendance was PATHETIC. So many people didn't turn up (my section was full.), trombone section had only Poline and Vanessa (Yu Sheng was sick for the whole week, according to Andy. Hey, just get well soon and go and help your section, Yu Sheng!) etc.

On Sunday, we celebrated Grandfather's birthday. I watched "The Exorcist: The Beginning"(VCD), and I shall not deny that it is one of the most frightening shows I've ever watched. A possessed boy controlling the wolves to tear a boy apart (who has taken his spade), this possessed man who killed himself by slitting his own throat, and this lead actress was also possessed and looked like a living zombie who can climb walls like Spiderman (just for a joke.) =p The hero? A priest who is faithful to God. He even got rid of the evil spirit from the possessed lady and boy by reading scripts from the bible and holding out a cross and sprinkling holy water. The boy survived, but the lady died. Strangely enough, I didn't get nightmares. (I'm not prone to nightmares even after reading or watching horror stories.)

On Monday, I went to Wild, Wild Wet. It's fun, especially 'Ular-lar'. Haha, I want to go there again, or perhaps Escape Theme park, when I go to family chalets during the holidays.

English

English was managable, though I spent the last 45 minutes doing my summary. The first draft was the first time I've exceeded the word limit (I've never exceeded any word limits at all.). And, D&T was so full of nonsensical scribbles that if I can score at least a 70, I'll be over the moon...

Haha, I walked home with Jeremy--he cycled while I took the bus to Eastpoint then continued walking. (We're just friends, and anyway, he already has a crush on another girl.)Well, I saw a lot of cats which made me happy (and for goodness sake, cats aren't anything to be scared of!), and what's more, tomorrow is the last paper to sit for! But only if I pass my Chinese, I won't be happy just yet....

I may seem very joyful today, but actually, deep down, I feel really sad. I won't say why, but I know there is a reason behind this. Whatever you do, you must have a reason, or what you do is worthless. I know, that's why I say there is a reason for this sinking feeling deep down...

English Literature

I spent the whole of 2 hours completing my paper and adding to the finishing touches. My reward? An aching hand and stained palm. I don't know what to say about the paper, all I can say is, I'm happy if I can get 54/70 for the paper...

All the same, I shouldn't be blogging in here, so I shall wait till Friday before I update again. I want to spend the time revising my Chinese thoroughly for Friday's paper. Oh, I forgot, Jeryl told me that there is band on Saturday at 8am, so much for wanting and planning to watch television on Saturday... I feel like taking a break after the exams, why must they tire us out for Saturday's band practice? -_-

Science

I'm now fuming at "silent's" tag (I know it is Wei Theng, unless my guess is wrong...). I never use other's names to tag on any tagboard, and now, my name 'kt' is used by some other fakes, *smoke coming out from ears*, I'm changing to 'kris' now. Who dares to use that name of mine shall be proscecuted immediately without any further ado...I'm sick and tired of people calling me a fake for no apparent reason, and if this goes on, I might as well start locking myself at home and finish up my holiday homework in 10 days' time and scare others for leaving their homework till the last minute... If I say I can do it, I really can do it, and I'll prove it to you. Before band practice starts during the holidays, I would have completed all my homework and start reading up on the encyclopedia for more information on nature...

I know I sound really insane, but I do mean it. People just take me for granted, as if I am a piece of rag ready to be discarded any time. Well, I'ld like to say, this piece of rag is useful, and since you've thrown it away, don't come whining in agony that you shouldn't have thrown it away when you need one to do your job... ...I just detest people who take me for granted, and well, if something happens to me, don't go crying your heart out and complain to heaven and earth, go and find some other useful person and remember not to take him/ her for granted! I think some people just never change... ...

8 October 2004, Saturday

I had a most exhilarating time playing table-tennis with Wei Rui, Yi Shu, Cheryl, Darren and Aloysius yesterday in the evening. Well, at first we played singles (me and Wei Rui, Yi Shu and Cheryl, Darren and Aloysius), then we switched to doubles. Haha, let me tell ou how we took turns--for singles, once someone who is playing loses, it's the mext pair's turn. Well, even when we couldn't get the ball across the net, our turn is over...haha, once, when Wei Rui was serving, I was really blur and forgot that it was my turn, thus when I saw the ball landing on the floor, then I realised that... -_-

As for doubles, it's the same, but only when one pair loses to the opponents then their turn is over. Like I said, many times we played out, and sometimes couldn't get the ball across the net...It was the most ridiculous game of table-tennis I've ever played, but there are advantages--everyone gets a turn to play, we save waiting time, and we have fun at the same time. =p Haha, Wei Rui has an admirer from her CCA-- Rayrin from 2F, bass (jump from alto to tenor to bass...voice breaking...). Haha, I always know that she definitely will have some guy liking her... =p

Maths

The Maths paper was easier than I had expected (and I had expected it to be tough and challenging...), and I'm confident of scoring at least a B3 (again. I don't dare to aim too high and get a hard blow when I get my results back...). I managed to finish paper one 5 minutes before time's up, and paper two 15 minutes before time's up, whereas for mid-year's paper, I only finished both just on time...

Got to go now, bye!

Geography

No, it's not the last time, I just sneaked in here since no one's at home, though I won't be long. Oh, the Geography paper wasn't tough unlike what Ms Kartini had said, so I guess she said that just to scare us and make us work harder...I'm confident of scoring at least a B3, and also, the mapwork wasn't difficult at all--I didn't spend my time locating the countries on the world map I have at home for nothing, all right! My sister and I also quizzed each other to find places on the map, and I especially love to locate places in Europe (some are so small that the font size was minute...). Haha, like I said, Geography is my best and favourite humanities subject. =p

Ow...my shoulder, arm and back muscles hurt too much. Ever since I carried 3 chairs to the stadium and one table back to class, my left arm was trembling, my back hurts, and now my shoulders hurt. My arms felt stiff and I suspiciously thought they bulged a little when I relax my biceps...(go and study the muscular system if you want to know why I say 'relax the biceps' when I bend my elbows...)

Better go now, I need to attack my Maths before mum comes back. Adios.

Exams coming

Exams are arriving in 2 days' time, so today may be the last time I'm blogging in here until my exams are over. Hope I get in Triple Sciences... ...I worry about my Maths, Science, English, Lit and Chinese--I can't afford to get below B for my Chineseand Lit, and below A for the rest. If so, my hopes are dashed...but I mustn't give up--even if I get into double Sciences, at least I can still read up on Biology on my own...

So long now, this is where I will end. Wish me all the best for the exams!

Revision...

Today is 3 October 2004, Sunday, and I haven't started attacking my idioms 91 to 180 for tomorrow's spelling yet. Ha, am I able to finish 90 idioms in one day? I don't know, and even if I can, everything just goes in and comes out. I do not have a great mind for remembering Chinese vocabulary and phrases, but I do have a great memory for remembering names of animals (and I read everything from the encyclopedia and non-fiction books on animals.). =) Haha, my plants are not so great, and as for human body... ... ... ... hey, what do you think, that I suck? You've got me wrong---I'm just good in it. (Good, not great...)

Got to go now, I'm watching television at 9am, at 10:30am, at 11am, and at 7pm. Haha, watching too much television a day instead of studying is not good for me, especially since exams are coming, but I'm going to finish my Geography revision after reading the workbook, then start attacking my idioms, so...any problems? If not, then bye!

Happy birthday...

I'm worried that I may not be able to finish my revision on time. All these years, what I yearned for in my studies, I've always managed to achieve it, no matter how tough it may be, and I hope so in this case...

Oh, Happy Birthday, Jeremy! Hey, stop teasing me about Roy--we are just friends, and that's final. =D

I shan't blog much now until after the exams, wish me luck!

Being crazy today...

Haha...I just went to www.lovecalculator.com and calculated couple's love for each other. Well, I think it works if you put the couple's full names...haha...I did for some people, and the percentage is really high... ...=) Going to www.findyourfate.com is also fun...=p

Anyway, I'm in the computer lab again for CME, though I took this chance to do what I like. I've finished doing what I'm supposed to do anyway...haha...So the first thing I would do is to blog, then go and do what I like! =p

I've already planned what I would do after the exams to keep me occupied and busy in school, where I get bored the most after the exams. What else can I do besides getting bored to death? I can spend the time to do my homework if the teachers give us early--anyway, I've planned to finish ALL my holiday assignments within the first 2 weeks of my holidays before I go off to holiday... ...

I had a weird dream, about the encounter with evil blood-suckers. They include vampires, zombies, ghosts etc, and my mission was to save my friends from becoming one. Funny thing is, the location was at a void deck, and these bloodsuckers are very unexpected--they looked like people I know...Well, it stopped till there...

Dreaming...

Dream of, dream of everything, dream of, dream of everything... ...Oh, that's a verse from one of Hi-5's songs. I really can dream about anything...and all my dreams are fantasies and really nice, nice but weird...

I have a very imaginative mind, and now, I'm imagining how it'll be like when I go on holiday to Genting Highlands during the holidays. I wonder how much fun can it be to ride on the roller-coaster since I've never rode on it before...

I really can't wait for the exams to be over, then I can start putting my creation together--I've been thinking of composing a song for Wei Rui and Xin Hui to show how much I treasure our friendship. One's in choir, the other has music background, and they are my closest friends... ...

Life...

After reading Bryan's blog, I realise that he's not the only one in agony. I am too, though I fight it better than anyone else. As for Wei Theng...I never knew he's so sensitive. I guess everyone has 2 faces, especially me. I seem very quiet in school, keeping to myself, seldom interact with people etc, but when I'm comfortable with people I know, I'm exactly the opposite--I'll talk and joke with people, suddenly becoming very active. I know, it's tough to understand me well, nearly impossible in fact, but once I open up, you'll slowly know me. It'll take time though...

To people who feel very confused and as if no one understands what you are going through, perhaps I can help. After all, I've experienced agony, betrayal, frustration, loneliness...and I've no one to turn to. Do people really understand why I cry? I doubt so. Oh, there's nothing to feel sorry about, I'm used to it anyway, and there's still June, July, August, Kindolph, Snowball, Icecream, Hobo, Spunky, Sniffer... ... ... ...They are always there for me, and they always will be. Just in case you don't know who they are, they are my mini zoo animals. Still don't get it? Nevermind, it's not important anyway... ...

24 September 2004, Friday

How much can one remember? I went out of the question when I wrote my compo today--hopefully, I can get a few marks because I didn't stray from the question totally...-_-

I know that 1K is keeping a kitten, and I got the chance to help in looking after it when I was in the girls' toilet. I know it's very hilarious, but I helped to clean up the mess this kitten made in its cage...Being a person with no experience in keeping pets, it's a wonder some think I have a pet at home! I'm used to cleaning up, so that's why I didn't mind the smell. (If you ask me, I would prefer this to perfume--perfume makes me feel like vomitting!)

Jeremy, for goodness sake, is still teasing me about me liking Roy. I mean, I only like him as a friend, and he is nice and we get along quite well (primary school classmates in some years...). I wonder why some people are so dirty-minded or their minds are not in the right place...I know, Yue Yang once said we "pair off well"... ...don't listen to him, he's full of lies...

23 September 2004, Thursday

Exams are coming in 2 weeks' time, and I've only started my revision?! How absurd! I must make it an effort to study more and work hard--I can't let the triple sciences and Geography Elective slip away from my hands like that... ...

I worry about my Science, Maths, Chinese and Lit.--they are always worrying me and killing more cells than the other subjects. Well, if I don't get at least 70 for Maths, Science and my average, I'll be packing my bags and going off to double sciences...I can't stand Lit. and History, that's why my first choice is Triple Sciences and Geog. elec!

I wonder why I don't miss people easily--when dad went to Korea, I didn't miss him that much; when the sec 4s left band, I didn't miss them that much; when I left CKP, I didn't miss my teachers and friends that much, so I think, when I leave 2E, I doubt I will miss my class much. I really wonder why. Am I an unnerving person? A cold person? A mental divergent? I really seem so cut-off, so quiet, so anti-social, living in a world of my own...

19 September 2004, Sunday

Dad has flown to Korea for some training (or whatever) for 1 week last night. Because I slept at around 12 am, I spent every free time I could in school sleeping. I was a little sick though, so I missed nearly 4 periods in the sick bay, starting from the first period. I don't really know why I cried--I just know I'm really tired now, and I haven't finished my portfolio assignment 3 (I just got my lit. book today, and the homework is due on Wednesday!) yet! I found myself not myself now, always doing my homework halfway nowadays. I used to be very fast in doing homework, but now, sleep is catching up on me...

Confused...

I don't really know what to choose for my subject combinations, but I'm very clear that I want to take Triple Science and Geography Elective. If I can't get in...Triple + History elective or Chemistry + Physics, Geography + Lit. elective... ...

I'm really bored, and I felt like drawing instead of doing mindmaps for Geography, so I just took out my trusty pencil and began drawing a picture of a puppy. Hey, the outcome is a masterpiece, and I'm really proud of it! Should I draw a kitten next? Haha...I'm just so fanatic about animals...

Well, Grandmother is leaving for Hainan Island tomorrow (she was born there.), and Dad is leaving for a business trip to Korea too. Wow, two trips to the Changi Airport to enjoy the cool air-conditioning! What a great way to save electricity at home...hehe...=)

I'm off now! Hey, I'm moving on to grade 7, how fast time flies, and I'm catching up on people...=p

Sick...

I've been having a runny nose since Monday, and I've been taking afternoon naps since Monday...the symptoms of being sick are catching on me--continuous runny nose, slight drowsiness, sleeping in class...

Ms Sia told us that Clinton has got dengue fever, and is hospitalised in CGH I think., no wonder he hasn't been in school since Monday... I really hope he gets well soon, not like me, getting sick on the first day of school...Now the weather is so gloomy, and my flu is no better, and there's tests and spelling tomorrow...
I think I can't concentrate now, and exams are coming! I must make it an effort to get well and start studying--triple sciences and Geography elective for sec 3 is my target. 70% average, Maths and Science, 65% English and 60% Geography...I worry about the 70% ones most...

September 11. Esplanade Concert later

I'm now listening to Pachelbel's Canon In D from this website, guess I'm always a fan of this song, I 've always loved songs in minor keys, songs with a touch of sadness, slow and soothing music...=) This are the websites: http://www2.cs.uh.edu/~wjin/music/canon.html
http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/prod/dialspace/town/drive/yax72/pachelbel/
I'm feeling rather bored today, how I wished the teachers could give more homework to do...at least it's better than sitting down and staring at an open textbook when everything goes in and comes out...(I didn't even bother to open my textbook, let alone flip through...)

Think I've got to go now, band's at 3.

10 September 2004, Friday

The SSO concert was great, but too many strings, very few people in winds and brass sections, only 3 percussionists, and it's not even the full orchestra...both Yue Yang and I agreed that bands are better. Hey, the movie Drumline is really a good movie (I mean, how many people can play the drum so quickly and in rhythm? And even the military bands are in dance forms when taking part in competitions!)...

You think you are so great and all, but let me tell you this--with your sarcastic tone like this, it's enough to piss people off and even make people cry...I used to think you are nice and friendly, but now, I've seen your true colours--you are totally two-sided. For yesterday, you are a complete JERK. I've never called people jerks before, but for that day, I'm making it an exception. I hope it's the first and last time I'm saying that word, and I don't want it to happen again. So what if you are in the ***, so what if you are the **, it doesn't pay to put people off with your sarcastic unfriendliness. I have not flared up for ages, and I just want to say, with your lousy attitude like that, it's enough to piss people off. Your section is unhappy with you, I know, so please try to be more understanding towards others' feelings.

I'm sorry for that paragraph of reprimands, but this particular person was the reason I cried. I WILL NOT say who, but I hope that this person can change his attitude. Even a person like me who forgives people easily can be put off by this ignorant attitude. I have been through a lot of things considering people's attitude, and have realised that this world isn't meant for me. What world is meant for me, I won't say, but I think you might know...

9 September 2004. Moody...

Happy Birthday, Hiang Ling!

I'm feeling very moody; please don't disturb me, leave me to my own thoughts... ...I was already VERY patient with Wei Xian, for a long time, but today, he tested my patience. I was really pissed off (I can't find a better word.) when I taught the Whenever Wherever song. He kept making the same mistakes, and I had been clapping the beat until my hands are RED and SORE... ...Wei Xian, if you are reading this, I'm sorry I sound angry, but I really want you to do well for the upcoming concerts. Please make it an effort to improve on your tonguing--we won't be there to help you for ever, and I may not be the next SL to help you...

7 September, Tuesday. Totally flunked.

I think, if I get a merit for my ABRSM Grade 6 Practical Exam today, I'll be over the moon...I think I must have flunked it--I stumbled over my 3rd piece, I made mistakes in my Bb minor melodic scale, section D of my aural was really bad (I couldn't get my rhythm right--how do you expect my to clap a trill?), the sight-singing...at least I managed not to feel nervous at all...

Well, I guess, what is over is over, no use thinking about it. I'm now very troubled over something, which I don't really want to say--something to do with band...

Er...one last thing, how do you add a midi to the blog?

6 September, Monday

Right, tomorrow is D-Day--the day for my ABRSM Grade 6 practical exam. I'm aiming for another merit to keep the "tradition" running (that means, no failures nor just passes.), so...my target is 150/150! =) Haha

One day to D-Day, how fast, and I don't think I'm fully prepared yet...I think I'll report to you about my performance for the exam some time...I'm desperately in need of sleep now--I'm really too tired to think of other things, guess I shall have a troubled sleep...good night...

First Day of September Hols

Wow, holidays are here! But I need to think of a suitable title for my poem--this poem is one of the worst I've ever created, if people find it good, then I think you need to replenish your brain cells...=] sorry for this sarcasm...

Oh, now I know who is Jeremy's crush--he told me during break today. I shan't say who, after all, I don't want to break the trust. Haha, anyway, I am really in need to brush up my scales and pieces--it's very good already, but I tend to make tiny mistakes and if this continues to happen...I don't want to end up just passing my ABRSM practical exam, not when my aural is going to pull me down...

Ah well, I'm going to a Science Carnival at Suntec City later,it's going to be fun! Musical instruments, mind-reading, biology etc., I'ld love it! Science is so interesting, but animals are still top of my list as always! :) Haha, I think I must do my poem now, so long!

Last day of Term 3

I've just listened to the online midi of Pachelbel's Canon In D, and now I'm now listening to Enya's song. Her songs are so soothing, I don't understand why Bryan finds her voice eerie...haha...

I do have homework to do, but I've finished most of it, except for the lit. poem-->what does it mean by "from abuse to euphoria and anything in between"? I'm still trying to figure out...I have a good poem in mind, but until I figure out what the theme is. =)

Anyway, we had band today, and we sight-read Iris, The Nineties, Warabe Uta Fantasy (???), Habitat. I was so amused by the tuba score of Iris that I couldn't help laughing--trills, demi-semi quavers, semi-quavers etc. are definitely rare in tuba scores; most are found in woodwind scores...But it's a nice song, if only we can play it well...

Haha, Jeremy now has a crush on another girl (for respect of his privacy, I'm not saying who is this "lucky" girl. Not me that is...). I bet you that some time later, he will like another girl and "history repeats itself".=) Sorry for laughing, hehe...=D

I'll be back some other day. Right now, I must get to my poem, or my homework will never be completed by Monday...

Teacher's Day

Happy Teacher's Day! Hey, I'm really glad to be in my primary school again! To see the familiar faces and the surrounding of the new school, it's a joy! Ahem, for those who are "sick in the mind", I never said I'm happy to see this guy again...(for those who don't understand what I'm talking about, better not ask...)

Well, I've asked Fatin, Melissa, Roy and Wei Rui to go to the Esplanade concert. Haha, I asked Roy to go to the Esplanade concert, and Qi Qin even "forced" Roy to record the dates for Esplanade concert and El Minstrel VI in his handphone, I guess he has no choice but to go! =p Hope he is free on both dates...hehe...

I love my school! Hip-hip hurray!=p

Kt: Band today

I'm back after having not blogged in here for a long time...haha...I guess, things are turning for the better for my results--so far, I've 4 As and 1 B (from what I know), and I'm very happy to say that the B is my HCL results (the first time...), haha...

Well, we had drills this morning, and I must admit, I nearly fell and worsen my knee when doing ranges--as you can see, my knee muscle(or is it ligament?) is slightly damaged and I can't apply pressure when I'm bending it fully. So...I was nearly crying out in pain at that...But then, a game of table-tennis with some guys from band was really fun--I'm sorry to say that I applied some "badminton skills" to my game...=p

I better go now and finish up my homework, at the same time, make cards for teachers...bye!

Kristin: Farewell Party

The Farewell Party was very memorable--during sectional talk, tuba and euphonium sections sang a birthday song to me because it was my birthday yesterday. Thanks, guys...I even recieved a present from Bryan, thanks a lot!=)

Haha...the videos were very hilarious, much more hilarious than the speeches by some sec 4s(I'm not naming who.). Yue Yang singing in a high-pitch voice...he's going to "kill" me one day, oh yeah. Haha...I couldn't believe it that the farewell song was composed by Jing Yi and Isabel Tan--excellent job, seniors! I hope the next Farewell Party song isn't going to be another composed one--if so, Andy, Jarred please, haha...=)

I shan't write much, although there a some extra information you may want to know--1) Huai Ping doesn't know what crotchets and minims etc. are, but if you play a song with solo for him, he can play it well.[Xiao Feng's info.], 2) Cheng Huat smuggled chewing gum from Malaysia in sec 2(the KL band exchange trip), that's how he became the BM; he was very playful at in sec 2. [name is a secret] Hehe...=)

I remember that when we girls were in the washroom, suddenly, the lights went off. I didn't scream nor panic--I just looked at the time on my watch. The culprit was said to be Mervin. I went out and told the guys I didn't scream at all, and Wei Theng even told me which switch to off the lights. I was kind of being persuaded to switch off the lights by Yu Sheng and Wei Theng, but I didn't do it.=)

I shan't blog more, bye!

Kt: My birthday today

Well, I receieved presents from Xin Hui, Geraldine, Wei Rui, Stephanie, and Jason. Thanks for the presents, guys!

Finally, the Farewell Party is today! Yay! Haha, it's going to be so memorable for me and the sec 4s...How lucky can one be on one's birthday, especially since one is also celebrating a CCA's Farewell Party in a hotel...=) I'm not exactly 14 yet--I was born in the evening...hehe...-_-

I need to do my homework, so I shall stop here--I'll continue tomorrow. OFF I GO!!! =)

Sec 4s, we'll miss you...

Kt: In school

Haha...I'm now blogging in school, from Summer Concerto lab. Well, I hope I am not considered late today, because I missed the anthem and pledge--I accompanied Yi Jia to the washroom because of her thing...It's the first time I missed the anthem and pledge though...I hope Ms Sia will understand...

But anyway, I am now taking this chance to visit this blog of mine and Wei Rui's (whom I've never heard from her for a long time...). Hehe, tomorrow's my birthday, and i can't wait for the Farewell party tomorrow! I'm giving my section chocolates, alright!

Gotta go now, bye!

Kt: Rehearsal

Today's entry is the shortest, but anyway...The rehearsal is really awful...I would rather go for the Farewell rehearsal instead...Anyway, I really must try to finish my homework on time--I'll be meeting Xin Hui tomorrow as she wants to give a birthday present to me, how thoughtful of her...=)

I shan't blog much, and no philosophy today. Good night.

Kt: Too much homework?

Hehe, not that much homework as I thought, although I have not finished my Maths weekend assignment Chapter 11...I went home worrying about the inability to complete my homework for nothing...what a waste of cells...=)

Bullseye!, for today is the day where I burnt the most calories for the week. I ran up and down during recess, looking for my juniors and Andrew, and wasted precious time where I could have done my homework instead...In the end, I waited after school and handed the money and cards to Andrew. I sure did burn a lot of calories today! (I could have done it during PE...) And what's more, I have confidence of getting a gold for my Napfa test for the 5th year running! Well, what do you expect, a silver? No way! I got a 48 for sit-and-reach after having not done any yoga for a year, what a miracle...the highest in class together with Geraldine...hehe...

Happy belated birthday to Ysabel, Christie & Christa!

Funny title, hehe... :) Anyway, I shan't blog much, just want to say, you can visit this friendship website for fun if you want to: http://www.abundantfun.com/poems/poemsfriend.html . Nice friendship poems, if you want to know...

I've finally remembered the tune of the song for The Day; it just came to my head out of the blue when I stepped into school this morning! haha...

Kt: Cheryl's birthday

I shan't be long, since I 've got to go and wash my shoes and practise the scales, pieces etc. on the piano...I think I'll do it at around 3.30pm...
My sister's birthday today, and 1 week later...IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! And it happens to be on the Farewell Party, which makes it even more memorable... ... How special 21 August 2004 is...haha...

Hehe, Festival March is different from other marches--in fours, not that fast (sounds like allegro-moderato) and nice. Japanese Graffiti IV is still very nice, and Yorkshire Ballad sounds nicer than before...nice, nice, nice, everything's nice, what about mice? :) haha. The Junior Band is now part of the main band since yesterday, no more Wednesday practices...nothing to look forward to on Wednesdays...*jeers*

Friday the 13th was yesterday, and it was an "unlucky" day for Yu Sheng--he dropped his slide on 23 December 2003...8 months already then QM mention...-_-
I'm so looking forward to music lesson on Monday, Ms Lee rocks! Keyboard playing, oh yeah!*punches the air*

Kt: Lisabelle's Birthday

Happy Birthday, Lisabelle! Anyway, I'm typing VERY slowly, because I've just sneaked into the computer again, and I'm TRYING to see through the translucent keyboard cover...

Anyway, I guess I better keep this entry short. I was ticked off by Andrew for talking when announcements were made. It wasn't my fault; Wang Zi got me and Joel into "trouble". But I pretended it was my fault, and I will be myself in 5 minutes. I don't get angry, nor sad, for long, although it depends on my mood. I forgive but never forget, because these memories are important to me. I remember events clearly, as if they had just happened yesterday, or even an hour ago.

I guess I'll stop here for now to practise my scales. How tough can they be?, one may ask. Very tough for first-timers; tough if you want perfect scales (no mistakes). I grade it as so-so, since I've been practising them for 9 months. Not perfect though... -_-

"Practice may not make perfect--everyone makes mistakes, even minor ones." hehe, funny philosophy...

Kt: ABRSM Practical exam

Oh, now I've finally gotten the HTML, how cool...Haha, I'm back, after sneaking into the computer when Cheryl is out rollerblading and playing badminton, and mum not knowing what I'm doing in the room... *sneaky grin*

Well, I've just recieved the letter for my ABRSM grade 6 practical exam date. It's on 7 September, Tuesday. If I'm not wrong, I only have less than 4 weeks left to practice my scales and pieces. I'm thankful I've made good progress through my daily practice (except when I reach home late after school or when I'm busy), although my aural still sucks in the memory-singing, otherwise I'm alright. Thanks to tons of band practices, my sight-singing has improved tremendously, and my sight-reading is better than before. This is the outcome of joining band, and I've never regretted choosing concert band as my 1st choice CCA.

3 days straight to stay back in school for band (and the teacher's day audition tomorrow), how interesting. I can't wait! :) Well, tomorrow's Lisabelle's birthday if I'm not wrong, so HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY, LISABELLE!!!!!
"Happiness is never bought, it is only achieved through what you have done."

Kt: 8 August 2004

Hey, how come I'm the only one blogging in here...where's Wei Rui, that busy girl...haha...She's very busy, I know, but hope she can find some time to come to the Esplanade outdoor concert on World Trade Centre day...haha...I hope we won't be playing 'United Nations' March', else we also get terrorist attack...(Mona's joke, haha...I personally felt the same ...)*Did I just here some jeers and "touch wood"s?* :p

Hehe, enough of this 911 event, or my "prediction" will come true...Alright, National Day's tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to watching the NDP on tv...I LOVE SINGAPORE!!!!! I'm so patriotic...haha...Well, I haven't done my art homework, nor have I fully read my spelling and idioms. I better finish my art tonight, and I'll start on my HCL today, idioms and Science revision tomorrow, D&T on Tuesday. 3 days straight with band, I don't think I have the time to study unless I've finished my homework in school.

Farewell Party coming in 13 days'time, and my birthday too...I wonder what will Wei Rui and Xin Hui get for me, and who remembers my birthday. Never mind that, it's not important. And I've got more important things in mind to bother about my birthday...I will bother about it on the day itself. :)

I will be going to Pasir Ris Park at 4 pm, then to East Coast to watch fireworks. Any snacks for me to nick? Hehe, I suddenly have a ravenous stomach these few months, I wonder why...
"What you think it is may not be what you think it is."

Kt: Sick at home

I didn't go for the dance prac. today, sorry, Yu Jie. I had to visit the doctor--throat infection, runny nose, phlegm...I even got an MC to prove it. (what for, I don't even have PE next week!)

I guess Wen Jia and Xin Hui found this blog--see their messages on the tagboard? Wen Jia is the 1st AHS (and band) person to find out, congrats! Haha...Forever my ex-OG leader... :) Xin Hui still rocks, hehe...Wei Rui too...

National Day is coming...I've finally finished my written homework too. Completed in 2 days...am I a capable person/ nothing-to-do freak/ simply hardworking student/ a good time-planner? Feel free to choose and rate from any option above. :p

I still have my spelling and idioms to read, science and D&T test to study. I better start doing it now; it took me ages to work hard and pass my class test to drop out of chinese remedial, and I won't fail the HCL common test coming in 2 weeks' time, not if I can help it.

I shall stop here to read this very funny and lame comic my sister has borrowed--<> No philosophy today since I can't think of any.

Kt: NDP

It was quite a success, but not very good still...I couldn't hear the melody, and I haven't recovered from my flu. In fact, now I feel worse than ever, though my appetite increased...haha...

I may be skipping tomorrow's dance practice--I doubt I'll be able to stand the cold nor the heat. With the sinus flowing "ever so freely" since Wednesday, I can't stop it. It felt like when I ran a fever last semester. Outstandingly terrible feeling of illness overwhelming me with tireness and sorethroat isn't my idea of getting well, and I wish it will go away so that I can play my instrument better. I have been playing rather badly, and I couldn't even play much yesterday; Andrew threatened to disallow me from playing today if I didn't play yesterday. But it made my already sick self worse than before--Andrew could have taken my life through this threat had I not mustered up what's left of my strength to play.

I'm chatting MSN with Xin Hui and Wei Rui, haha.... Well, Jeremy is worse than ever, teasing me about Roy for the whole morning. Even Yu Sheng wondered who Roy is...Hey, Yu Sheng, if you ever read this entry, not all Chung Cheng High sports' class people are bad--Roy's very nice and helpful. (How else would he become the assistant head prefect in primary school?)

My birthday is coming...on the day of the Farewell Party...any gifts from anyone? :p haha...I'll be happy if people remember...
"No matter how difficult things may be, you still have to try."

Kt: Back again

Today was another NDP rehearsal, and I left at around 3.30pm for my piano lesson, which started at 5.45pm. Mrs Phoon is really unpredictable at times when it comes to the time for piano lessons! :)

Well, even after being the ASL, I am still the same old me, very little change. We learnt about character for CD today (changed to Friday's timetable), and for loyalty, out of 5, I rated myself as 5. Look, if you sarcastically snort at this, I suggest you better try to know understand me first before you make any comments. Very few people know me well, because I am a very secretive person who reveals little about me, unless I trust someone. :)

I am a very loyal person, just like a dog. I would even sacrifice myself just to save anyone close to me, like Wei Rui and Xin Hui and my family. This is not called courageous; this is faithfulness. That's why my favourite animal is a dog, and these two friends up there sometimes say I represent a dog, haha... thanks guys. :)

Tomorrow, there's junior band, and I'm looking forward to teaching my juniors, who are the lamest guys I've ever known. Both of you better do well, or I'll make life hell for you. Haha, just you wait.

Band Day -->31 July, Saturday

I stayed in school for the whole day to help decorate the bandroom for Band Day and to clean-up and arrange the chairs etc. It was the most memorable day this year, and I hope it will continue to be for the rest of my life...

I shan't talk about what happened in the afternoon, except that Mr Savino, the Italian conductor, was quite comical in trying to tell us what he meant. At least I learnt some Italian words, haha...I was really impressed by his playing of the clarinet--even I can't play that fast on the piano! (I know how to play the first song he and his wife played for us, haha...)

Band Day 2004 was the most memorable event for the band, besides being the band's birthday, it was also the handover ceremony. To my outmost surprise, I was made the ASL of my section, Andrew being the SL and DM. Jun Long said that I could conduct etc. (I didn't listen much anyway, can't hear.), and when I asked Wang Zi how I became the ASL, he said that I could teach my juniors well. Haha, I push them very hard to do their best and keep the tradition of the junior band tuba section being the best section.

To summarise the whole event, I'll just continue from where I've stopped: Yu Sheng, SL & assis. treasurer; Mervin, ASL; Jeryl, NYAA & ASL; Yue Yang, assis. librarian; Steffi, ASL & assis. GIC; Wei Theng, ASL & AQM; Shi Yun, ASL & AQM; Qi Qin, assis. UIC; Shu Juan, SL; Estella, SL & librarian; Hui Min, ASL & librarian; Karen, NYAA; Xin Ting, treasurer; Jennifer, SL; Lisabelle, SL & QM; Jing Yi, SL & ABM; Jun Jie, BM; Bao Ying, GIC; Christie, SL & CM; Koh Shing, ASL; Pei Qian, SL; Ginny, UIC. If I'm wrong, feel welcome to correct me--I can't possibly remember everyone and get them correct, can I? If I can, my memory is good for remembering important events (why isn't it my studies instead?...).

Being an ASL is really a big surprise for me, because I wasn't expecting it at all. But, I promise to push my juniors to the extend of giving up, haha...Without pressure, they can never do well. I never scold them (after millions of experience and the feeling of it.), and I never will.

Well, I congratulated those sec 2 com. members, and realized that I voted for Yue Yang during the band com nomination. Haha, it's good that he got in...same old guy, not much change in character... :p

Kt: Napfa test, 2.4km

I think I have disgraces myself to have gotten a lousy position for my 2.4km run today--no, not in the 100th position, definitely in the top half. (If I get bottom half, I might as well retake my Napfa to get a gold...)But as come to think of it, positions don't matter much for me, it's the time that counts. I'm confident of scoring an A for this (remember, I'm only 13, and my birthday is on the Farewell Party...), and I'm satisfied. :)

After that, I went cycling with Geraldine, Philine, Stephanie, Ms Sia, Cheng You, Clara, Suzanne, Jia Xin(my "twin". Same birthday.), Jason, Clinton, Min Xue, Jia Yu, Tessa, Adelina. $3 for 2 hours, somemore it's a mountain bike, definitely cheaper than Pasir Ris Park's, $5 for 1 hour...Even the teachers went cycling, how cool. Haha...

I shan't update more, since I'm very tired, and tomorrow's going to be a long day...
"Failure doesn't mean failure."

Kt: 29 July, Thursday

Happy birthday, Li Ting!

What the...I went to band room thinking there is sectional (after what Elaine told me.) and then there's none...But at least I finished my Maths there...haha...

I shan't blog much for today--my back is pain for no reason, and I've got my 2.4km run tomorrow. Hope I can get a time lower than last year's, say, 12.30min. I can't possibly waste my time trying to keep my stamina in tip-top condition all these while...(but then, I only trained for the 400m finals, not NAPFA!)

Good luck to all running 2.4km tomorrow. I shall stop here.
"Perseverance pays, if you know what you are achieving and what you want to achieve."

Kt: Today

I want to wish Dad a Happy Birthday, and may he be successful in his work...

Anyway, today was rather fun; well, the Student Council Investiture now introduces new councillors etc., but the best part was when they threw plane models, copter wings and bird models down from the stage and the 2nd floor. I got one from MinXue, haha...I still remember Silas quite "jealous" when he saw me with a "aeroplane"(he changed it to "birdplane" later.), haha, and JunLong said he had taked ChengHuat's helicopter, if it looks like a helicopter...

Haha...Well, maybe I shouldn't laugh, but sometimes, I can't help it...like today, I woke up with my back, stomach and legs aching all over--I hate the after-effects of the NAPFA 5 items! I'm going for a standing broadjump retry after doing badly yesterday--how are you going to do well if you can't bend your knees fully? A pain shooting up your body and what's next, an ache more severe than the first?

Yue Yang asked me what subjects I wish to take for sec 3, and we both want to opt for triple science and geography elective, what a coincidence. I asked Yu Sheng what he would take, and he kept asking,"You taking C Lit?" to anyone he met, how hilarious...I also asked Qing Fang (triple, history elec.),haha...Who wants to study everything about WWII? (Mervin, because of Hitler...)WWI is better.

I better go now, I have my wenshi to type, my maths weekend assignment and 10 design ideas to do, not forgetting my E Lit test tomorrow...I'm out of ideas for my D&T, and I don't fancy waiting till last minute then I finish my homework. I DON'T do last minute work--that's why I always seem to be the first to complete my holiday homework (I finished mine in 2 weeks' time, including research, want to compete?), haha...

" Never leave work till the last minute--you wil not be able to finish everything on time."

Kt: Concert in the Park yesterday

Wow, blogger has changed again, and it's better, I see...

Well, we had a concert in the park near Blk 138, and I must say, it wasn't that good although it was a success... The drizzle spoilt the day, but there's one good thing--I wasn't hot at all, haha...Maybe because I drank too much water (4 350ml newater bottles within 2 hours is exaggerating, isn't it?), haha...When I took the 4th bottle, Yu Sheng held out the last one in the pack and jokingly said,"Here's another one, please take it." Think I can drink that much? But it's amazing I didn't rush to the washroom frequently, haha...But I had to enlist the help of Yue Yang to help me open the bottles, soory about that, Yue Yang...

Anyway, when we gathered in the bandroom, Hong Wei was fuming mad, all because the sec 2 guys didn't help to load the instruments back to school but went off for dinner. He also dragged Elaine and I into the picture. It was the first time I've seen him so furious, but it reminded me so much of Henry's outburst, I was half-afraid that Hong Wei might become Henry II. I can understand how he felt, but it's no use getting angry over it, raising your voice and glaring at everyone like that...

Cheng Huat assured us that maybe they didn't know about that etc., and even broke into a smile when he said,"Why are you all looking at me like that? Just smile!" Then he and Henry led us into the 3-cheers and Give me an A-H-B-A-N-D! cheer, though it sounded half-hearted...

6 more days before the sec 4s are leaving, 6 more days to Band Day, 6 more days to announcing the 2004 to 2005 band committee, 6 more days to the sec 4 band com members leaving their posts to the sec 3s...I will miss the sec 4s..."Absence makes the heart grow fonder."It is true, and I treasure the time I have now with the sec 4s. I will make Band Day a deep imprint in my memory, and also the Farewell Party on 21 August. That day is a special day to me, and will always be a special day... ...

Anyway, I've just come back from dinner at Safra Tampines. I was really full to bursting after eating so much at Sakura International whatever; it's a wonder that I managed to walk and here I am! Well, there was this cat trying to "scratch" its body (more like releasing its scent...haha...) at the railings, so I just squatted down to look at it. I didn't notice what the cat was doing until it banged headfirst into me. I can't tell you how hard it banged, but it felt like some headbutt from a furry animal...poor cat. It's so cute, you know! I just have a soft spot for animals... :)

"What is over is over. It is but a history, a memory, a thing of the past..."

Kt: Founder's Day

A boring Founder's Day today, the only interesting parts were the fanfare, the singing and the performance...haha...

Well, I can't imagine that one year has passed...the sec 2s are in sec 3...haha...Do you take it for real? I'm just faking it; seeing the sec 2 fanfare guys wearing white pants gave me this impression, haha...

I chatted with WeiXiong before band started. I even requested him to try out the trumpet solo in Dancin Megahits' last song--it was really good. In the storeroom, I watched ChengHuat playing the alto saxophone--it amused me that he could actually play so well...also making me wish for sec 4 to arrive so that I can try all the instruments...yet I must wait patiently; I don't want to grow up so soon.

I guess I better stop here for today, but just one thing--to all band members, even if we didn't get a gold for SYF last year, please do not be disheartened. Next year is the year for us...WE CAN DO IT!!

"Depression can make one stronger, if you know how to learn from your mistakes..."

Kt: founder's Day tomorrow

I've decided to use to nicknames: kris or kt. Is it all right? Well, if I 'm not wrong, I believe I will be able to score at least a B4 for my maths test today--it's quite easy to do, and I was still left with 10 mins when I finished it. Haha, it's either that I do quickly, or that the paper given is easy...

Well, I'm happy to say, I've be "demoted" from the class com. as the cleanliness coordinator; or rather, I gave up the post to Suzanne because it looks like I can't cope with it any longer. But I'll be glad to help out with the cleanliness of the classroom although I've resigned--my heart is still in the post even though I'm not in.

Anyway, I've changed the computer mouse to the roller type, which doesn't get stuck easily. What a relieve! Haha, if I'm not wrong, I stayed at the corridor during the whole of 1st recess listening to the fanfare group singing the school song. I do not like to mention how they fared, but as I am a very straightforward person, I'll just say that they sung badly. They sound like there is a majority of guys and it's very monotonous. If I've hurt anyone's feelings, forgive me...

I just realize that today is the band SYF day from last year, when we got a silver...

" I am born into this world for a reason. No one can ask me to die that easily, even in life-threatening situations."

Kristin: Band today & yesterday

I just realised that blogger has changed, but it really is kind of weird and funny...haha...

Hey, yesterday's band was really interesting. Well, I think ChengHuat was being "nice" to the band, inviting people who didn't know how to conduct to come out and conduct 'Livin La Vida Loca'. The people were Xiao Feng, Mervin and Andrew. I think my hands were "itchy" to try and conduct the band, but never mind, fat chance for me.

As for today...well, I guess I'm finally getting a hang of what is called using warm air to blow your instrument. To prove it, I emptied a lot of water from my slides today, something which has never happened before, haha...

I think 'Japanese Graffiti IV' is a very nice piece, very emotional and flowing. It nearly melted my heart when I first heard this song, and I felt like crying my unhappiness out. But I'm not that emotional as to cry that easily, so please don't take me as a weak girl. To tell you the truth, I may look weak on the outside, but I am tough on the inside. My mental strength is very strong...well, who wouldn't be, after what I have had been through all this while.

I shall stop here and go and bombard my sister's neopets account...:p
"There is always a chance to find out things you don't know; it's just whether you want to seek it or not." (Stupid philosophy, but who cares...)

Kristin: Sectionals

We had sectionals today taken by Andrew, but mostly, Elaine and I were taught by HongWei. I think I prefer his lecture than him teaching us how to emphasize etc., haha...very interesting lectures about the pieces we are supposed to be playing for Bedok park, National Day and El Minstrel VI...too bad we have to include 'Thunders and Blazes' and 'Festival March' for El Minstrel...I simply dislike playing these songs!:(

Well, who cares, as long as 'African Symphony' isn't included. This song is nice, but I break my embrochure easily for prolonged periods, haha. Fast songs aren't for me, or you can say, songs with repeated notes aren't for me. I break my embrochure easily, which I don't understand why...

My D&T is now 3/4 finished, but I'm afraid I still have my wen shi to do, so I will still be disturbing this computer until I've finished my research. Of course, I'll still use it, but only on weekends, where I'm allowed. Who cares, I can still live without using the computer! But I cannot live without music; music is part of my life!
"Knowledge is wide; one cannot know all throughout one's lifetime."

Kristin: Junior Band

Today's junior band went off quite well; as usual, my two juniors are full of nonsensical jokes and stories...

Well, I spent most of my time drawing my comic for the environment competition, and still managed to find time to finish my chinese and D&T homework. The only thing I've forgotten was to study my life-science notes, but not to worry, I've read it 4 times during the June holidays, so at least I can remember most of the facts...haha...

Well, seeing ChengHuat playing the percussion makes me envy the sec 4s; I want to try all the instruments!!! But I guess I have to be patient and quietly wait till I'm sec 4 before I go mad...haha...Well, I've glanced at the band prac. list-->the Farewell Party really is on 21 August. You've guessed it, it is a special day to me. No, not Roy's birthday (his birthday is on 13 March, months before mine, haha...)... Still can't guess? Wait till the appropriate time then I'll tell you!:)

I think I better go now--Dawn is waiting for me to fill the pages! Nothing much happened, so I won't be talking much about the day.
"It is very rare for a person to be totally pure, both physically and mentally." Haha, I am a very pure person, but I am not totally pure mentally, only 99.99%...

Kristin: Rainy Day

Happy Birthday, Cheng Huat! I'm back again after doing my wenshi research halfway. I'm researching on Tang Dynasty's poet, Du Pu, since I can't think pf anything today anyway...

I really envy those performing the fanfare for Founder's Day--not only did they get to rehearse during recess, they can earn more CCA points as well...Not that I really want to blow my lungs out...haha...but at least I can skip PE for one period... :)

If I'm believe I'm not deaf, I remember TingTing once mentioned that the Farewell Party will be held on 21 August. Tell you what, 21 August is my favourite day of the year, because it is a very special day. Smart people will be able to guess why, unless they refuse to crack their brains and think. I shall not say, you will know sooner or later...haha...

I shall stop here for today, good night!
"I cannot doubt that I'm doubting, because that's the truth about it."

Kristin: J.Lo's birthday today

Hey, it's JunLong(aka J.lo)'s birthday today! Happy Birthday To The 2003-2004 Tuba SL of AHBand!!!!! J.LO, YOU ROCK!!!!! haha...

Anyway, I've finally finished my D&T research, though I feel that I could have done a better job. I didn't understand what to do, but who cares, I can still do some more after Mr Lim has given his comments. I only have around 14 lessons before the exams start, then no more D&T for the next 2 years! Haha...

Well, come to think of it, I realized that I have had competed in several events and contests this year. First, the Reader's Digest Pen Awards, the Family Recipe Creative Writing Competition, then the Sports' Day, later the Environment project competition, it's quite something for me, since I've never taken part in these many competitions in one year! Ordinary me has now led a rather active Sec 2 life, haha..

I better go now, I must familiar myself with my spelling, read my book and continue my writing for Sports' Day. I'm writing a book FOR MYSELF on every thing, every exciting memory and event that has happened. I think it's great that when I reach 18, I'll be able to read about my own events, my past, about me...
"Seek what you are seeking with your heart, not with your senses."

Kristin: Sports' Day

I'm back at last, yet I haven't started on my research. Whatever, I'll do it later...

Well, today's Sports' Day was really exciting, and to my surprise, I managed to get 6th in position for 400m C Division girls. I thought I was last, but then, at the last 100m, I speed up and sprinted to the finishing line. It was quite an achievement considering that it was the first time I've joined a Sports' Day event. It looks like all the sport CCAs and Chinese Drama are faster than me; I guess I must have beaten St John and English Drama. It is all thanks to my will to finsh the race and my promise to do it for the people who supported me for today's race. Yet most importantly, I did it for Vivor, who died this morning...at least he had lived for more than one year...(from an egg to a frog takes one year.)

I've decided not to talk about it as I don't want to increase the gloomy atmosphere surrounding me. To carry on with Sports' Day, we didn't get last for any event, what a relieve. If I'm not wrong, 4x400m B boys, 4x100m B and C girls, 4x100m B boys-4th; Jeryl-400m C boys 2nd last, Ginny-200m B girls 4th, Elisa-100m C girls 3rd, ChengHuat-400m B boys 1st, Henry-1500m B boys 3rd last, HongWei-100m B boys 3rd, Bryan-200m C boys 2nd last, WangZi-B boys discus 1st, Joel- C boys discus 3rd. If I ever made any mistakes, I apologize for that because I can't remember everything.

After Sports' Day ended, Concert Band ran around the track in the drizzle while carrying the banner, then NCC joined in halfway. I was so tired that I reduced to a jog. After that, we did the Bandship Dance. I was so exhausted from all the singing and cheering that I'm amazed that when I reached Changkat Primary, I still have the energy to talk to WeiRui and friends we met there, haha...

We met ZhongTing, QiQin, Willfred, Shawn, Hejun, Heather, Melissa and Clara and Michelle, Fuzaina, Azyan, Kelly. Haha, for people who know ZhongTing, remember to call him "little brother" in Chinese to tease him, because the icecream seller in the canteen asked him, "Little boy, what do you want?" Haha, Wei Rui and I had been teasing him that, and his glare was really funny...haha...Willfred is still the same old guy, though he said, "That's Roy's drawing behind you." It is Roy's Primary 5 giraffe mosaic on display. Haha...how interesting...

The 6A classroom is really colourful, where the tables are decorated with pictures and drawings. It'so no wonder 6A won the most decorated classroom award. 6A rocks!!!!! YAY!!!!!

I better go now. Haha...tomorrow's JunLong's birthday...HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY, J.LO!!!!!
"You will never appreciate what you have until you have felt pain and despair."

wh3e~!

yooozie~! althoug i noe tt dere is no1 to c me... so will diz blog b put up successfully or cant b put up? haha...heck larh. anyway i realised tt im so so so way bhind kris :P alreadi had so many posts liao....huh... haha. anyway nothing much to update larh...juz here 4 fun!

Kristin: Learning the Cheers

We learnt the cheers for tomorrow's cheerleading competition for more than an hour (I reached home at 7.10pm.). Wow, I received a sarcastic "how early" from my mum. Amazingly, I managed to finish my dinner in less than 30 mins and my written homework. I'm now on to my D&T which I simply dislike--research, research and more research...

I was slightly amused at ChengHuat's attempt to keep up and remember the dancesteps the sec 3s are dancing. It was really comical, but I didn't laugh much--I was listening to the hip-hop song and it was really perverted and disgusting, with all the bad words sprouting out etc. How irritating...

I better go now, but I shall update on Sports' Day tomorrow.
"You believe you can do it, you can do it."

Kristin: Updating Events

I am back again after doing a bit of D&T research, my Maths weekend assignment and my practical workbook (I didn't bring today, so I had to finish at home.). All I can say about my book quiz is: I have passed.

Well, I managed to feed Vivor with my sister's help last night. She caught a flying ant, and the poor ant was placed right on top of his nose, which Vivor then ate. Erm...people who have watched the dissection of the frog at Mavis Tutorial (I think.), can you please don't frighten my frog? Thanks...

I couldn't believe my eyes when I found out that I had been down for finals on Sports' Day. I think I'm going to laugh when I can be in the top 6 positions--competing against 4 sports CCA isn't my cup of tea...
As long as I'm not last, I'm very happy. :)I realized that the number of band finalists are larger than last year's, how amazing...

Anyway, I admit that I'm really looking forward to the Changkat Primary open house this coming Saturday. It's held in the new building, and what's more, 6 storeys to climb...haha. I think, people like QiQin and YueYang might say that I'm excited for another reason...I'm not saying why...(I can't wait to try the food! HAHA!!!:p)

Alright, I'm stopping now to have my dinner and then practise the piano. I'm improving as the days passed(???), and I'll soon be taking my Practical somewhere in September; my Theory will be in November. I'm hopeful that I can achieve another Merit for Practical and another Distinction for Theory, which is...not impossible of course!

philosophy for the day:"Love in thy heart conquers all."

Kristin: Success

I sucessfully managed to feed Vivor when I caught an ant while rollerblading with WeiRui yesterday. He just suddenly snatched the ant and it was gone. The problem is, how am I going to find the time to catch ants? After school?

Anyway, we had a most energizing PE lesson today--25 pushups, situps, burpies, rangers and jumping jacks, after 7 mins of jogging. Can you imagine how exhausting that was? What's more, I had a little knee pain...

Well, nothing much to say, except that I may be giving philosophies after every entry from now. Here's one:
"Believe in yourself, no obstacle can obstruct your way." Haha...

Kristin: Vivor's Obstinacy

Vivor is just so stubborn! He won't eat the food I've bought at Pet Safari yesterday, guess I just have to result to catching insects for him...and I mean LIVE insects!

Anyway, today is Youth Day celebration, so we have no school today. I've decided to spend the day revising my ecology chapters for my common tests next week and learn my Chinese spelling for tomorrow. I've been learning and re-learning my spelling until I believe I could have memorized everything on that particular chapter.(Which I doubt so.)

There's nothing much to update about, so I guess I'm off to play with Vivor and try persuading him to eat. He hasn't eaten for 2 days! Unless he can catch food on his own, I'll have to find some insects and feed him. I wonder how am I going find live ones since I have never held any insect I dislike before. Let me tell you this, for those who have "amphibian-phobia", Vivor isn't scary at all--he's very tiny and cute, and I've stroked his back many times. He seems to like it, I guess.

I shall end here.

Kristin: Science Centre

Biotechnology is really interesting (though I would prefer pond life...), since we can tell if someone has dominant genes or recessive genes just by studying the hair patterns, the earlobes, and what the tongue can do. I think I'm dominant, but then, when I tasted the PDC, there was no taste at first, then it tasted a bit bitter. All I tasted was paper, haha...

Anyway, I now have a pet frog! It's really small, around the size of my little finger. Cute frog...and no, it's NOT for eating frog's legs, you blood-sucking murderers! Eating frog's legs...how absurb! I NEVER eat frog's legs, and I WON'T!!!!! >:(

The frog is mine, and I will not let it die so easily in just a few days. I guess I will go to Pet Safari and get some tips on how to keep frogs...haha...The frog's name is Vivor, and I name it after "survivor".

Let's see...ChengHuat is really funny when he has this embarrassed smile, haha...I didn't comment on this! It was QiQin! Haha, I kind of agreed with her...Well, Elaine, Tingting, Yujie and QiQin yelled, "Cheng Huat jia you!" and he put on this smile, as if embarrassed...haha...for no reason...forgetting to bring his pencilcase and borrowing from Torrance...

I guess I will stop writing that to prevent creating more embarrassment for him...Anyway, if I'm not wrong, until now, no one has discovered that I have a blog (except for Jason, who peeked into my homework diary when I wasn't looking. He didn't know the website though, haha.). Let them find out themselves!

Kristin: Thursday's Fun

It's me again! I'm just doing my unfinished "My Family Recipe" essay, and it was a disaster, at least, to me. I kept asking around what they think a family recipe means, and all gave different answers...Finally, I asked Mr Smith, and he also gave me an answer which I thought was logical and appropriate...

Er...WangZi, if you are reading this, why is my draft "chim"? I don't find it so, but you've obviously read the wrong draft, haha. 40 push-ups, I would rather jog around the stadium 40 times than do 40 push-ups. WeiXian, if I can kill you for repeating those same mistakes again and again, I can, and I will...(oh no! A murderer on the loose! Haha...:p)

Better go now, or my essay will never finish. And, WangZi, if I win the top few prizes (which I doubt so.), I WILL NOT treat you, haha... $10,000 to be won, fat chance...I'll be filthy rich by then! No, "clean" rich...haha...

Kristin: Today's entry

Now, I have to write another essay for the "My Family Recipe" National Creative Writing Contest; Mrs Ganesan chose me. Why me again? I have to hand it in on Friday, and besides writing a short essay on the family recipe, I still need to submit a family recipe as well...how interesting...

I guess I better go and start on it, or it will never be finished on time...I still have my theory waiting for me after dinner, and my research on styles of Malay and Indian music...sigh...(I feel like saying *wtf*, but I'm not the vulgar kind, get it?)

*On to my homework, here I go, here I go, here I go, on to my homework here I go, and my revision too.*(sing to the tune of some nursery rhyme...I can't remember...dum-dadadum-dum-dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum, dum-dum-dum, dum-dadadum-dum-dum-dum-dum, dum-da-da-dum-dum-dum.)Haha

Kristin: First Day of Term 3

It's me here, again. Haha, so far no one has realised that I have a blog, no, sorry, Wei Rui and I have a blog... -_-||| Good, let them find out themselves, haha... :p *breaks into a guffaw*

Well, I've got a new Chinese teacher Miss Chen, and my first music lesson kicked off a good start to lighten my mood--we sang the 'Beauty and the Beast' first song about the good day thing...nice and really hilarious, haha...I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THE KEYBOARD!!!!!!

Oops, I'm going mad here...sorry for that. Anyway, I better go now, my homework (for today. I've already finished ALL my holiday homework within the first 2 weeks of the June holidays, unlike many...sorry for the critism...)is waiting for me! Cool, I can't wait for my pet frog to arrive! It's free, and small, and I will take care of it if no one else will...

Kristin: Pasir Ris Park yesterday

I went to Pasir Ris Park yesterday, and further hurt myself while playing on the spinning disk. I tried to get on, and fell down, hurting my knees. Amazingly, I only suffered pulled knee muscles and a samll tear in my skin. Must be because of the sand which soften the fall...

Then there was this black cat near the children playground. She kept mewing continuously, as if she was hungry. Not once but a few times, she rubbed against my legs, and I scratched her head. Poor cat...

Carrying on with today, I continued reading 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix', for the third time. Tomorrow is the first day of term 3, semester 2, and for Science, we'll be touching on ecology! Yay! I love ecology, because of the animals. I love animals, way more than humans, so if you excuse me...I'm sorry if I'm the quiet type. :)

*Whose in for icecreams? ME!!!!!* So I shall end here, since I'm off to continue my reading.

Kristin: Day Camp on 25 June 2004, Friday

Now to get on with the details...Well, I won't talk about the first game, since I can't really remember the name. I shall talk about the caterpillar thing instead. Oh, I just remembered that YiYee and I got a shock when we met Henry, HongWei, JunLong and HuaiBin in the girls' toilet; they were filling plastic bags for waterbombs...

We were supposed to move on chairs like a caterpillar while the games com members squirted us with the SuperSoaker or pelted us with waterbombs. I was struck with a bomb by HongWei, amazingly, my shirt dried in 15 mins. HuaiBin also squirted us with the SuperSoaker, though I didn't get much. We passed 'Ginny and Friends' and Yu Sheng said,"We cannot afford to lose..." I nearly pelted him with a bomb but decided against that as I wanted to save it for the last, in which I bombed both Jeryl and Aloysius. Well, the bomb landed on Jeryl's back and exploded onto Aloysius' face...haha...

We then played this jumprope game, where we had to jump through the swinging rope individually. Uberfrog successfully crossed to the other side 4 times, no thanks to the other groups failing to cross successfully. I don't blame them, it seems kind of scary when the rope swings in front of you dangerously, as if it is going to hit you. I was used to jumping in and skipping, so I wasn't really afraid. How I wish I can go rope-skipping again...

We then crossed the rope in pairs or individually. I was the last girl to cross and the rope swung dangerously, nearly smacking my face in the process. ChengHuat and JunLong(or is it HongWei?)used less force instead, and I crossed, then it was the boys' turn,finally...

We had lunch after that, and seriously speaking, the food was nice, too bad I was hungry after a while. You know, I have a high metabolic rate, so that explains why I eat so much but never get fat (wish I do...).

We played the curtain game after that in the bandroom. The game was really funny! Seriously speaking, if Christie and Christa are on our side, I think HongWei would have won easily. Twins are still twins...haha...I was against Elaine, and we drawed. Same section...sigh...

We then played the balloon bursting game, in which I protected my balloon fiercely, though I left halfway due to Elisa going to tuition and "leg pain and jaw pain". I guess I must have laughed too much at Mervin's fake Chinese accent when he was talking to JieYing about the Singapore laws while waiting for our turns in the pair jumping (I went individually.), and also due to my juniors' crazy jokes about things...I can't imagine Andrew stepping on some faeces (dog shit?) which emitted such a foul smell that ChengHuat, Joel, WeiXian and I were disgusted by it. How it stank...Due to the rafia string tied so tightly around my ankle, my leg hurt when I tried to walk. It still hurts a lot now...

After that, we played 'Dogs and Bones' on starch (flour & water mix). It was very disgusting to feel starch drying on your skin, and I could have sworn that my skin is peeling. I can't imagine so many people getting starch on their clothes--I would have gotten a thrashing from my mum if I came home with starch-filled clothes; especially since I was wearing my class T-shirt, YuJie would have strangled me for spoiling the nice design...haha...

Well, I was nearly caught by Henry for being so "dry", so I scuttled off as fast as I could go. I don't want to end up being "wet", like when we played waterbombs during the welcome party and I was soaked thoroughly by ChengHuat 4 times for "being so dry"...

I got the ball twice without getting starched. I must say, I have a good balance, haha. :p Well, it was fun, can we do that on the next welcome party?;p haha, NO THANKS!

The day camp has been fun, all thanks to the games com, and I've enjoyed myself thoroughly. How I wish WeiRui had been to AHS instead of DHS and joined band, we would have tons of fun together, I can say! All I know is that I had leg cramps now...
