I remember you.

I have this major fear of rejection.

I dream very weird dreams.

Strawberries topped with condensed milk is very yummy.

Today felt like the first day of a new school year. I had this funny excitment when I walked into school because it has been a really long time (a good 3.5 weeks!) since we had proper lessons. It amazes me how the teachers can come into class, calmly ask us to take out our prelim paper and then plunge right into corrections. what happened to the "hello students! how were your holidays?" or "students, this is somewhat your first day of term 4." They act as if we've been having lessons for the past 3 weeks and today is just another day in school.

Had dinner last night at Novena's Fish&Co with Joey, Daniel and Chang. Chang and myself were walking back to my house when we started talking about pride which got me thinking about me and my pride. ah, I'm learning about pride. I'm slowly learning.

No school today! I think it's a marking day or something like that. So, Chang, Evan, Justin and myself went down to the airport to send Yaozhang off. haha. It was super spastic. We decided to make Yaozhang a present so we sat at Burger King, took some of the papers that they use to line the tray and started cutting the paper to form letters. we wrote Yaozhang a note too and I got each of them to say something personal and Evan said something like "how am I going to live without you?" haha.

Had lunch with Yaozhang at Swensens and then off he went. But we told him to turn around after he went through the departure gate and we did this funny "formation". The four of us stood in a line and we held out the letters "BYE!" and then we put that down and did "SUZY" haha! it was so embarrassing but we were all laughing non-stop! it's excatly like what some girls in F4's fan club do when they attend their concert. you know the "JERRY I LOVE YOU!" placards? yes. we did something like that.

Went out last night for a chitchat/supper session at KAP with a whole bunch of people before yado sent me back. I'm actually feeling quite relaxed already but I can't believe it's all ending tonight. I don't really want school to start tomorrow. I don't think I've played enough.

Anyway, click here for yaozhang's sendoff pictures.

Guess what we did at sunday school today? Taking the I out of the eye.

We discussed about where this "me-first" attitude thrives. And you know what? This "me-first" attitude is everywhere. In our schools, in our homes, in our society, in the church, in the media. This "I-want-it-my-way-and-everyone-else-can-die" is very much alive and everywhere.

In school, we see people rejoicing because they've just beaten someone by a mere 2 marks. we even know of people who would not help others with their studies for fear that the person that they help would beat them at it. we know of people who won't help photocopy notes for a sick friend because he just wants to be ahead. Isn't this the "me-first" attitude? It is the If I get MY 3As, everyone else can disappear.

How about in our society? Read today's newspaper about how this SICC member fell and couldn't move but nobody from his club helped him for 20mins? People drove by, people stared but nobody helped. Not until the staff came along. Talk about being rich and having no compassion at all. It's the "me-first" attitude again right? the why should I get out of my car just to help you? I have to run around and start hitting some balls right now so Sorry! I've got no time.

I haven't watched Sex and the City yet but Alex said that the "me-first" attitude is also evident there. The girls would move from one guy to another if the guy did not satisfy them. Once again, the "me-first" attitude. If the guy can't please me, no strings attached, I'm moving on to my next one!

I don't deny that at times too, this "me-first" streak in me does shine through. Sometimes, it happens at home like when I've come home from a day out and I'm full, I don't really care if Sarah or my parents had their dinner already because I am full. I don't deny that at times in school, this sucky streak does shine through too.

My mom has been telling me about it too and I guess, it's time I wipe this streak away. It's time I stop trying to get everything to run according to my law. It's time I stop focussing on myself. it's not about me, me and me. I actually think this "me-first" attitude is very bad.

So this week, I'm going to expose the "me-first" attitude. I am going to try putting my family before myself. I am going to be nicer to my friends and stop demanding I have my way. I am going to try to understand people, to have compassion and to look at things through Christ's perspective. Call me a hypocrite or whatever. I might not succeed but I am going to try. I want to expose this "me-first" attitude. I don't want to be known as another kid who has her I so big in her eye.

Prelims are over! over. no more. zero. gone. YES!

I am glad! went out with Nicolle yesterday to watch dodgeball! it's probably my first movie in months! it was so hilarious and I think the whole cinema was turned into an air-conditioned stadium! everyone (at least I thought so, since Nic and myself were yelling) was yelling and cheering on average joe's gym! haha. walked around a bit more and I'm glad that I went out with Nic. it's been a very long time since we met.

Had cell in the night and then a group of us went for supper at Newton. yesterday was the begining of my short holiday. I'm officially on holiday for the next week. I will not do any work at all and I will relax or else I'll go crazy.

I'm going to watch the Man-Utd match right now. Man-Utd, please win. please win.

Does anybody know how to kill a lizard?

There are officially 3 resident lizards in my house. (yes, I do keep count since I have no life). One's big, the other 2 are small ones. nonetheless, they are still very iky, yucky and disgustingly gross! I want to kill them all and banish them from my house. I bet there's even more than 3 because some of the other lizards just pop by and visit their friends here but these 3 lizards are definitely permanent residents. I've seen them around my house countless of times at the same place!

I saw a lizard trap at Far East Flora once but I was thinking that if you trap the lizard, you'll have to get rid of the trap and the lizard will be there kicking and trying to stay alive. By the way, do you know that lizards do not die immediately when you spray 1/4 of a bottle of sheltox? they don't die. they squirm and squirm and try to run away. what happens in the end is that the lizard gets away and you'll have a trail of insectide on your wall.

If you ever had a lizard flash itself at you, like it did to me yesterday, you'll realize that it's muddy-green-yellow-brown in colour, its veins are red and it has 4 little fingers/toes/ whatever on each of it's legs. that was how close I was to the lizard yesterday and it was a living nightmare.

It's truly disgusting plus it doesn't help that lizards are part of the reptile family (I hope they are anyway, it adds more substance to my argument). I don't like any animal in the reptile family. crocodiles, snakes, turtles etc. you name it, I hate it. I can never understand how some people can wrap a 4M long python around their necks in the zoo! HELLO! what if it strangles you? have you seen a python swallow up an owl on discovery channel? I can never understand too, how some people can take pictures of snakes and big lizards at the zoo or watch those displays at such a close distance! when I go to the zoo, I give that entire reptile section a miss.

This is becoming a very disgusting entry too. I'm getting cold just talking about lizards. I hope I see no lizard today.

Anyway. My dad got invited to watch the Mamma Mia musical last night! I want to go too but now that he's gone for it, I don't think he'll bring me. I heard it's good! I haven't watched a musical in a long long time. I think the last time I watched a musical was in Melbourne where they were staging Beauty and the Beast.

I think I've come to realized that I've made alot of mistakes this prelims. way too many mistakes that are going to be very very costly and painful.

Saturday, September 18, 2004 06:32 p.m.

I ran! Daddy, Sarah and myself ran from SMU to the shaw foundation stage and back! I don't know how long that is but I sure feel good right now!

I'm back to having exams again on monday! Horray! exams just rock my socks.

Thursday, September 16, 2004 03:17 p.m.

Shut up.

This sucks.

Tuesday, September 14, 2004 05:42 p.m.

Math and Geog was very horrible. everyone came out of the exam hall and said "I don't know how to do this, this and this." I came out saying, "I don't know how to do this, this, this, this, this, this, this andd this." It was very very very badly done.

This sucks. I'm very disappointed with myself. I don't know what I am going to do. I just don't feel like studying anymore.

I'm dead.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

My dad's really nice! he got all of us 6 pink roses each and gave Sarah and myself $10 each. it's so funny because we should be the one giving him gifts.

I am so so scared for the prelims.

Friday, September 10, 2004 10:25 a.m.

I am very tired.

Prelims are just 3 days away and I still have like so so much to go through. it's really alot. I just don't feel like doing anything today. I want to sleep in late, watch TV, read my books, go out and just not do anything but study.

Wednesday, September 8, 2004 04:26 p.m.

I think the world is actually quite chaotic. everytime I swtich on the TV, BBC/CNN will always report something horrid. but seriously, hurricanes in Florida, typhoons in East Asia, fighting in Iraq, Gaza strip attacks and terrorists attacks in Russia, I don't even know if chaotic is a suitable word.

Sometimes, I think living in Singapore is just too good to be true.

Look to the world, you will get distressed.
Look in to yourself, you will get depressed.
Look to Jesus and you will find rest.

I've set sights on one college I particularly want to go to!

Saturday, September 4, 2004 07:41 p.m.

I think I am way too relaxed over my prelims.

Thursday, September 2, 2004 06:53 p.m.

My mother made me wash my father's car. child labour. She said that my dad would love to come back from KL tonight and see that his car is shiny and clean after 2 days. bleah. super tiring just to carry around the big pail of water. I hope my dad pays me, though my mother better not hear about it. haha. I read somewhere that kids in the UK earn about 1000+Pounds/year so I think I should get at least $5 for some back breaking work?

Anyway. I'm play tic-tac-toe with debbie on MSN. it is so exciting because after 9 games, we're still tied 0-0! it's as exciting as the tabletennis olymics! I need to win her! it requires alot of concentration just to make sure I don't slip and I win! haha.

Here's a case of 2 girls having the same surname.
debbiieee` i'm not satisfied doing it my own way.. *believe says:
WHO ARE YOUR PARENTS!
[hannah] - you are what you eat. says:
MR & MRS WONG!
debbiieee` i'm not satisfied doing it my own way.. *believe says:
haha HEY THOSE ARE MY PARENTS
debbiieee` i'm not satisfied doing it my own way.. *believe says:
YOU.....PARENT STEALER!
[hannah] - you are what you eat. says:
YOU STOLE MY PARENTS!

HAHA. super funny!

My GP prelims are tomorrow. prelims. GP. tomorrow. tomorrow now seems so near. omg. I really hope that I'll be able to even understand what the passage is all about.

My little cousin called me this morning and told me that she told Mrs Susan Lee (her form teacher) that she's Hannah and Sarah's cousin. and Mrs Lee told her that she remembers us as her students and that we were good girls! HAHA.

Good girls indeed! I didn't skip school, did all my homework and scored full marks for english and math in my mid year exams in primary 1! Mrs Lee was my primary 1 and 5 form teacher.

There are some teachers I'll remember for life. I'll never forget Mrs Khong Bee in Secondary 2. we heard all sorts of rumours from our seniors that she would cry at least once a year during class. so we tried our very best to make her cry and we did! haha! she's very small and short and I remember we'll always put the projector string really high up so she couldn't reach for it! haha!

I'll never forget Julie Wee's lessons too! her lit lessons were usually after break so half way during lessons, we'll all stand up at 12.15PM, drink water and sit down and pretend nothing happened. she will act as if nothing happened too and continue on with her lesson! haha! oh and there were times we tried annoying her by repeatedly clicking our pens! super funny! There was this one time too, she sang this song in our lit text to the tune of Jesus loves me.

There's Mrs Mao too in secondary 1. She came into geography class and started introducing herself at Alien Mao because the first page of the geography textbook was a drawing of an alien and she said something like we're all aliens studying geography or something like that. haha! and everytime Mrs Mao taught, she would always look at the clock hanging at the back of the classroom instead of looking at us. haha. anyway, Mrs Mao is Hwai May's mother :)

There's still other teahers I'll remember. the all time favourite, Mrs Bowness. oh and Miss Belle Tan. how could we ever forget Belle Tan and her love for complaning to our parents. haha. teachers teachers teachers. lessons would be so boring if we didn't have them (to make fun of)! haha. can't live with them, can't live without them.
