I've got 4 major bruises! Hurts like shit man...I'm all banged up pretty bad. Poo. Cause I fell during Netball cause I was rushing to defend my shooter and I banged into Yvonne and tripped over her. And...I got a shallow graze on my left knee. And theres this humongous bruise beneath it...and when I touch certain parts I can't feel it at all. It's scary. And I have this other bruise that isn't quite as huge on my other knee...and my elbow as well! But I 4got where the other one was...when I hit it and it starts hurting again..then I'll know I guess...

Oh yes..during training, Ms Puva saw that the house people were practising for aces day. So she made us do it as well! I was like OMG..no! Nearly died of embarrassment. But Miss Puva started bouncing a lil and walking to the music..and when I was doing the reaches...(which i hate) she was like "carol! why no energy?! Do it with more enthusiasm!" I was like...POO. And Nat and Rachael had water guns and they came over and sprayed me with it!!! Right into my ear and down my back...poor Jenna got hit as well..they were bullying us netballers. BIG BULLIES!

Shall sleep early. Cause we're planning to stay up the whole night 2mr and talk and watch movies...hahahaha..so fun. Hope I can last through the night...*erps*

Yay...I got my swimsuit finally. It's a REALLY nice turquoise blue that's pretty bright but its such a nice colour!!! So fun...Nat took AGES to try on swimsuits man...hahahaha...she must have been checking out every angle in the mirror. But I'm sure she'll look great in it! We went to Taka later and juz cause I said that this swimsuit's colour was nice...the saleslady started trying to convince me to try it on and that there was definitely it in my size...Nat started edging away and I kept telling the saleslady that I would think about it b4 squeezing between two very closely placed racks and escaping finally. Man..she was FREAKY.

Poor Nat lost her phone. I thought I last saw it in the canteen on the table where she left it 2 return her stuff...poor thing. I think she's really quite...upset...a lil anw..dun worry ok Nat? I really hope it'll turn up..I'll go check the general office with you 2mr ok?

We attended this life sciences DNA talk 2day aft sch that was supposed 2 have some relevance to what we were taught in class. Except the front bit which was act pretty interesting...the talk was boring with a capital B. I even got so bored I started buffing my nails halfway through the talk. And Christine was like whispering "Don't do it here Carol! Everyone will think you're vain!!!" And I was like "I don't care...I'm SO tremedously bored" What do you expect me 2 do? Stone???

Ooh..luckily Nat knows where her phone is. You're so lucky nattie...I hope you din get screwed by your mom...but even if you did...at least you got ur phone back!!! I got screwed by mine coz I couldn't get it back as it was stolen!! And that freaking person made overseas calls b4 I could hold the line. I'm so glad my parents finally forgived me and got me this...*phew*

Yay..going out with Nattie later..we're going shopping for swimsuits! Only...I'm broke...I juz realised that if I get my swimsuit today I'll dig into my savings..luckily I can claim it from my mum...but the problem is I might not have enough today. Poo.

Hey its not my fault that I was eating slowly...I got really full halfway..and anw u guys were suaning me in cantonese~! So I started to eat slower on purpose seeing how you guys were being such asses! You know I don't freaking understand cantonese ok...I only know hokkien (which is super chor lor..even when you say "I love you" as tenderly as you can)!!

During recess...some pretty amusing things were brought up...and Nat got kinda embarrassed. Hanx as well...and she gave this really cute embarrassed grin. And Christine was suan-ed again!! Hahahha...so lousy...

Yay...ellen agreed to let me go in her car 2 SICC after going back to Henry Park 2 visit the teachers. This way I don't have to waste money on taxi fair..I'll juz take a bus down to Nanyang..yeah...and I hope I can find her.

Our dance exam is really soon...and the song is pretty funky although I didn't like it at first. But the lyrics are pretty suggestive...-raises eyebrows- Don't think I'm going to paste it here...later you guys think I'm perverted. Well I'm not.

I like photoshop...but Ellen claims it costs over 100 bucks...poo...I don't think I'll get it after all then.

Nat Elle and I went after school to have lunch b4 CCA. They were suan-in me all the way man...kao...I thought you guys were over it already ok! Next time I'll drag Christine along..then you all can suan her...cause her reaction's nicer...better 2 suan rite ;)!

Well after that I met Bel and Siok to buy teachers day presents. I managed to only spend about $10 on them although we got presents for every subject teacher..as well as Pri sch teachers...cause the 3 of us split the cost. Pretty worth it I think...although I kinda feel the pinch now...POO. Nvm..

OH...i remember what happened yesterday now. We had photo-taking...and Mrs Prama was there cause prefects were having photo-taking after us! So I was so freaked cause I din wanna get booked...or else one more booking and I get a DC...so when she came to us...I casually stepped behind Mie, while tugging my belt really tight juz in case. I WOULD have been at the last row (glares at Nat) if Mrs Ang hadn't insisted that the class comm sit in the first row with her. I was like "GO AND DIE, I do not want to sit in the first row again for the same reason!!!"

During Geog, we sang...this planting rice song...its cute man...but I learnt this song when I was 5 I think...in kindergarten. Planting rice is never fun...bend from morn til set of sun...cannot stand...cannot sit...cannot rest a little bit... etc etc. Hahahaha...and there were these high parts that alot of people in the class couldn't reach and it sounded so flat and every1 was laughing so madly. And we found out that Mrs Mo had a really nice voice when she sung the tune for us! Like...a little low..but sultry?

Can't wait 4 Elle's party..we're gonna swim...bowl...watch movies...bbq and slpover!!! Fun or what? I better remember to ask my mum about it. But she should allow cause Elle practically lives across the street...

I need a new swimsuit. Mine's stretched to the limit now..I've been looking for one for since like...1 and a half months ago??? But I still haven't gotten down to buying one (heh)...and my mom got pissed cos I was so picky when I was out with her...=(. Hahaha. Mayb I'll go look 2mr...should I? Nattie you're going out with your mum right? Christine got training I think. Elle or hanxin wanna come with me?

Well nothing much happened today...except that I had training and I nearly tripped over this teacher during training today. I was lying belly-down with my legs in the air, at the walkway discussing smth with my team-mates and so she didn't want to disturb me, and hence tried to step over me. Well...my team-mates decided to alert me juz at that instant. Guess what? I tried to get up...while she was walking over me...And cause my legs were kinda in the air...I think I kicked her. Man...

Oh...we were teasing Christine the whole day again. Honestly...I wonder what kinda kick we get outa teasing her. After awhile..it gets quite boring...but its pretty fun to see her reaction when you jab at her. She goes "excuse me??" with the what-did-you-say look on her face

Oh during Chinese, our teacher told those who did not tie their hair to stand up to answer questions. That included, Nat, Christine, Elle and I. Yeah...so immediately I pulled my hair back and exclaimed that I had long hair. And Nat borrowed Nat wee's hair tie and tied a small lil bunch of her hair such that it sticked out at the side of her head 90 degrees from the ground. It was really funny.

Training was pretty cool 2day. We juz played games and games and games, to prepare 4 SPE carnival. I played pretty alrite...above average..but I really need to work on my passes. I always pass to quickly after I intercept or receive a pass...and I dun calm down first. Poo...really need to work on that.

I really carn rmb wad I wanted 2 blog about...I knew there were some stuff...Poo. Next time maybe

Had CIP today...and no Chehao I din laugh...cause I din even use that story. But we had to do an extra story impromptu for one of the groups cause we went through the stories 2 fast and so there was extra time. That was when I started to laugh. It was really funny but surprisingly quite draining as well cause we kept having to shout and get their attention and hold it and sing to engage the younger kids. Boy...I thought MY siblings were trying.

After that Nat, Christine, Hanx, Elle and I went to Wisma for lunch. Only problem was that Elle was the only one hungry but when she got her food her parents told her to go home..so she juz had 2 packet it and she went off. Then Christine and I tried the lycra racer back at Giordano. I tried the white one on Friday but I tried the black 2day and I think black looks better. Then cause I got the first free cubicle, hence Christine went into the cubicle later. So while she was trying it on, Nat, Hanx and I went to hide in the Giojunior changing room which had a cow painted on the curtain in front! It was sooo cute! But anw, Christine couldn't find us when she came out but she didn't dare to pull open the curtain juz in case there was some1 else in there! It was damn farni...and Nat, Hanx and I were collapsing with silent laughter inside. But Christine kept pawing the curtain as if she wanted to look inside! So I lowered my voice and said "Stop peeping!" and that was when Hanx burst out and I knew the game was over. So I stuck my head around the curtain and said..."stop peeping Christine...I'm changing." And I held the curtain close, but she poked her hair through this mini hole and Nat when "YOU PEEPING TOM!". And Christine said "Carol stuck her head out what!". Then Nat said "How do you know that she's not changing?? (and smth else along the lines of Christine wanting to peep)".

After that we juz wondered around aimlessly. Then went home with Nat by bus. We were chatting all the way and laughing and laughing. So funny...hahahahahaha

Anw, Cheri...the Jag book was non-existant cause we juz told everything verbally...practically no need 2 write already. But recently so busy...so we decided to bring the Jag book back to life. Anw...you aren't coming back this year rite =(...I wonder if I can go over but I doubt so cause of training and stuff..and doubt my parents would let me... Oh I 4got 2 add that I was late diz morning...supposed 2 meet Nat downstairs at 710? I woke up at that time. So I was panicking but luckily Nat's father couldn't fetch her and she was waiting for a cab. So I managed to meet her and we took a cab 2gether..I thought WE were late...turned out we weren't the latest

Snapshots are finally totally up. Those who haven't seen them GO NOW...shoo. It's on the left hand side of the window...*kinderarten teacher's voice* can you see the link that says "snapshots"?

I'm tired...finally the last day of the school week is over...and the Math CA is finally over as well. No more tests until September...or so I hope...so much homework some more.

Theres some CIP thing on sunday..openhouse 4 some children welfare organisation. Well...me and Debbie have one of the best jobs. Sit in the air-con room and tell stories using puppets the whole time, while others have to herd lil kids around and let them drool and urinate all over you. Rox.

Went out with Bel and Siok 2day aft lunch. They wanted 2 do their geog wkst during lunch but ended up not doing at all??? But later we went to wisma to window shop (NOTE: window shop!!) cause we had no $$ but we saw this really nice skirt at aztec in wisma..it costs 50 bucks! But now 50% off...and I want the white one! And bel wants the pink one! But the white one was the last piece and its HUGE...shit...i hope i grow fat..then I can get the skirt..oh wait. I think I'm mad. We went on a spree trying clothes again! It was fun fun fun..and b4 we went home we bought famous amos..yum..i want more!

Help...its com studies once again and I'm slowly nodding off to sleep. My eyelids are drooping, drooping as the screen zooms out of focus and slowly the entire world fades to black. Yes...that's what I'm doing right now. Typing half asleep.

Finally...we got the Jag book into action again. It's been practically non-existant for the past 7 months because the 3 of us could tell everything to one another. But now...I think I'm slowly drifting from the two of them, cause firstly I'm not in the same class as them and we don't have time to go out anymore. Secondly, we all have our own other friends we hang out with in class. It's really sad cause I really treasure our three-way friendship. We have been through so much...primary school...leaving the comfort of it...secondary school...adjusting to having other people in our lives...spending less time together...having Cheryl leave 2 go 2 NZ...
But at least we finally have the Jag book resurfacing again. I was juz reading Cheryl's parting entry b4 she left for NZ...I felt so emotional 4 a second. She left individual notes for all 3 of us and some matters that had been brewing beneath the surface came to light juz b4 she left...

I feel like ponning netball training..but I also feel like training today. I really wanna play games and all...its been ages since finals and we played a real game. But theres a Math CA 2mr..and I really have to do well 4 this test cause I haven't been doing too well 4 Math this year. What was my best subject last year has become my worst. Tell me how bad can it get?

I FINALLY developed my photos. I'll be uploading them 2night if theres time. If not then Friday night. I was supposed 2 go and collect them yesterday night...but I was tired and I wanted to study...so I shall collect them after Netball juz b4 I go home. I know some pictures will really turn out nice. Can't wait to see them. Can't wait to see the Shatec pic where we posed with this super dao look. Hahaha. Or...Bel, Siok's and my "Charlie's Angel: Full Throttle pose"...you can guess what most of the photos are like by now...

Had PE today..and Mr Tan snapped at me and Nat for sleeping (act we were juz lying down) during the volleyball video..I figured he was pissed at smth (so brilliant aye?). Sorry to volleyballers, but I really can't appreciate the game. Who wants to just toss a ball about when you can catch it??? But well...yeah I guess you can tell that I pretty much can't wait for this module to be over. Hope next year's one is better (rugby! only I suck...)

Poor ellen got murdered by ivan soh 2day. And the worst thing was that his skin was found under her fingernails. So we wonder...why would his skin be found under her fingernails when she doesn't even want to be near him at all? Hmm..and we discussed the Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton's case with reference to DNA fingerprinting, and ivan soh said "And the semen came from??" And I muttered to Christine.."oh..it came from Monica didn't it?". I mean like DUH it came from Bill clinton right??? (sorry to those who might feel a lil grossed out)

I wanted to stay back for lunch 2day with Christine...but Nat persuaded me to go home...so I decided to cause then I would save some money so that I can go buy some of the stuff I wanna buy!! And ickle Chrissy was so fallen...haha..ok not really. How was ur French CA, Miss Chris? Hope it went well..haha.

Went for tuition 2day...and for once I didn't feel like falling asleep or actually falling asleep! I'm serious..its amazing what the prospect of a test the next day can do to you during tuition. I met Cheryn-ann there. I was really surprised that my eyebrows shot straight up my forehead. I thought that she didn't go there anymore cause I din see her around.

Chinese test 2mr...I hope I can get an A2...I dun do well 4 Chinese...so sue me??!

Think I shall go sleep soon..yawns. It might be early for some..but I have a chinese test 2mr. And Chinese tests always drain me totally..so yeah I need the rest. As a footnote, I realised I've been napping and sleeping so much lately. Yest I slept from...8.30om to...9.45pm yesterday? And then I decided to give up studying cause I wasn't absorbing anything, so I went to bed at 1015. Am I a pig or what? Hahahah. Never mind, as I've told a few people, sleeping is one of the greatest pleasures of life.

Heal the World
B4 I start I juz wanna say that I've archived.

Have any of you heard the song "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson? It's a really old song, it was already around when I was in kindergarten...And this song just brings back so many memories for me...

It was the first song that ever held any meaning in my life. Its the song that binds me and my first best friend, Hui Yu, together. She was my very first friend. We played with each other everyday, we shared everything possible 2 share...be it friendship, toys or time. We grew up together during those times spent in kindergarten...but my strongest impression of her was when she first taught me this song. I can still remember that exact scene...no matter what I juz can't seem to forget it. We were standing under the basketball pole and she started singing it...I liked the song instantly...and she promised to teach it to me. True to her word, she did. Right under that pole, everyday, during the time we got to go out. That song became our "better place" which the song spoke about.

Although its been what...8 years since we've sung this song 2gether, I still remember every word. Everytime I hear this song the memories wash over me and I'm juz reminded of time and how it flies. I'm reminded of how Hui Yu and I use to be so close. This song isn't juz about our friendship..but our childhood...our innocence. I miss the memories...That's why this song means so much to me.

That's why I was pretty sombre the whole of thurs. When the teacher passed us the lyrics and played the music...all the memories came rushing back and I started missing those times. I was strolling along memory lane the whole day...could you guys tell?

I was seriously freaked out on the bus 2day...cause at Holland V, these 4 fairfield guys got on. And when they passed me they gave me these weird looks...so I juz dao-ed them cause I dunno em rite? Den wad smile arh??!! But they walk up the aisle..then back down again!!! I was thinking "HUH"...then they finally decided 2 sit down on the other side of the bus filling up 2 seats in front of me. And you know they were talking about RI and RGS? I was thinking "Talking A BIT loudly only"..but I was seriously staring to feel weirded out cause I was the only one in RGS on the bus? And they kept shooting me these queer stares..and I wanted 2 sleep on the bus?? But I was already feeling so self-conscious that I started getting all paranoid about why they were staring at me...I thought I had dropped food all down my pinafore that's why! And then I started checking everything..to see if there was something wrong with the way I looked (e.g. food on my upper lip???). So yeah..when we finally reached the stop at Pandan Valley...you can guess how relieved I was that I had got off the bus...I practically ran down ok!!

I Grew!!!
Yes...I grew...isn't that wonderful? I used to be 159.5...and I was like..."c'mon its only 0.5cm more! Just hit the 160 mark!!! I'm now officially 161cm although Christine actually recorded 162 and she was so pissed when she got 161.5...hahaha. But then...cause I thought Mr Tan had said 161 but she heard 162..but I hope I'm 162 even though I'm going to say that I'm 161 so that the next time I measure I'll seem as if I've grown even though I might not have! Ok...think I'm rambling. Now...lets go on.

Yest training was really fun. We juz split into 2 teams and played game after game after game. I played WD alot of times, then GD, then WA, then C. I was quite surprised. I played pretty alright at C considering that I haven't played that position since primary school.

Was really sleepy when I went home. I napped from 8.30 to 10, then got up to revise math and do hw. Then finally I went back to sleep at 12. I kept zonking off while trying to study. And the light was seemed so bright last night suddenly. Had a headache after that. Gah.

It's com studies yet again. I seem to blog without fail every lesson. I'm so busy man...theres RGS open house on sat..the whole day..and there's public speaking and netball booths to tend to. POO. And theres pesta sukan on sunday which is this netball carnival for the sneakers club. I'm really looking forward to it...I love carnivals...it'll be really cool...I think the RGS sec1s are also playing in it. Haha. We might play against them...haha...think we should win. Got Bel, Siok, Shi Hui, Lynette, Sandy and Jolene in my team...hahaha..

And Jenny thinks she feels awful...so yes..wads up? Hahah...Oh i know now...geez...why do you get so affected by everything that happens around you? There are times when you juz have to let go..you have to let yourself live in your own world for a bit. That's why I zone out alot when I'm not feeling quite right. It's the only way to keep sane sometimes...

There are things you do on the spur of the moment that you'll regret later. I do...I juz wish that sometimes I dun do stuff like this cause it really is bitchy and mean at times. POO
