Life does not suck.

I wish people would stop saying their life sucks. Why can't they appreciate life? Even if they aren't exactly the luckiest person on Earth it doesn't mean their lives have to suck. I'm sure their a lot better off than a lot of other people...like those children who have no parents and are starving and have to live out in the streets. Like that song always look on the bright side of life. You come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!. So I hope people would stop saying that life sucks...cause it doesn't.

Anyway, today we had to do some research for a famous person, I didn't exactly know who to do on. All the people I picked had biographies that were so long the scrollbar thing could hardly be seen. So I didn't really do much for the whole hour. And I still don't know who to do. I wonder if I'll get more points if I do some famous scientist instead of an actor. But famous scientists all have such long biographies...hm.

And then we had P.E. where we played touch rugby again. We didn't really play much cause by the time we were done warming up and stretching there was only about 15 minutes left and after all the explaining there was only 10 minutes left. I don't like touch rugby that much...but at least it's better than the whole class playing captain's ball at once and all I do is just stand there and watch everyone chase after the ball like some swarm of bees.

For PW we were just supposed to work on our notes for the teaching thing. I didn't really do much though..

And then we had this ACJC talk about JC. The video was quite nice...the choir part was really funny. I wonder if it was supposed to be funny. lol. Anyway, they showed all these people who had accomplished so much in JC, in their studies, and CCAs and all the leadership stuff. Those people are so lucky. The talk really made me think about what I want to do with my life. I don't want want to be all about studies but I don't see how I can excel in my CCA. Some people are really good at sports, or singing, or debate and all those others, but I'm not really exceptionally good at anything. And as for the leadership stuff, it's only some people that have the oppurtunity to lead. I'm usually the one that follows. So I don't think I could really get much from that either. It seems like my only option left is to excel in my studies. It's really motivating me to work much harder. I wonder how long this mood to work harder will last. I tend to lose interest in things very easily. I guess I'll just make the most of my new found attitude towards work before it fades away.

My father said that I can go overseas to study after sec 4. I don't know if I want to. JC seems like a lot of fun. But I don't know...I guess I'll just worry about this in sec 4 or something..

New Layout

Yay, finally got my new layout up. The last one was so ugly. I mean, brown? What was I thinking? I like this one a lot better. It's supposed to be Jennifer Garner. It doesn't really look like her on top this right...hm..nevermind. I still like it.

This term's timetable sucks, I have to see Mrs Sim every single day and Mrs Lim on everyday except Monday. Sucks right? Yes. Speaking about Mrs Sim...she called us rotton apples again. It's really getting damn funny, she's like "All you rrrrotttton apples" I was trying to contain my laughter...I bet everyone else was too.

Had Home Economics today. We made that tofu plus vegetable stew thing. Disgusting. I can't believe so many people actually ate it. And you know how dirty all the home econs stuff are? There are lizards all over the place...and lizard poop. Still remember that time last year when Germaine picked up that chopping board that had the lizard on it. Eeeew. And besides the food really stank. It smelled like garbage. I kind of threw it away after tennis. I know it's wasting food...but what do you expect me to do. Eat it? I bet I'd get food poisoning if I do. And when I poured it into the bin it resembled so much like puke (both the smell and look). It went slop slop slop. So disgusting. Sigh hope we make something better next week. Maybe cookies. Hehe. That I'll eat. Lol...at least it doesn't look/smell bad. Darn my hands smell like garlic now. I can't get it off..

Had my chinese book test today. It was open book but I still think I'm going to fail. I didn't really read finish the book. To tell the truth I didn't even read half of it. And out of those that I read I didn't understand most of it. I know I'm very pathetic...my chinese sucks. I can't do anything about it. Oh and there's oral this Saturday. I'm going to die. What if I don't understand what the teacher's saying? And what if I don't know a lot of words in the passage? Sigh, I'm just thankful there's no more picture description one.

My sis won her netball competition. Yay, MGS rocks man, they didn't even lose a single game. They trashed everyone...like 20-0. Lol. So now I guess they're going to the nationals and play against RGS and all that. Hope they win..haha. Sigh, my sister's so good at sports. Unlike me. Even her tennis is getting better then mine. It's not fair right...that I suck at all sports and she's so good at them. I can't help but feel kind of jealous sometimes..

Why did I just post that? So personal...should I backspace it? Nah...what's the use of a blog if all I do is talk about my day..that'll be so boring. Whatever...I'll just leave it there.

Locked Out

Sigh, today I was locked out of the house for more than 1 hour. So sian, at first it was so hot, and this fly kept on buzzing around me, and everytime someone passed by or drive by they would stare at me. I wanted to do my maths homework....but then I forgot all the formulas for cones and my textbook was in the house so I couldn't do it. I was feeling so frustrated...oh and the reason why I was locked out was because my sis was having netball in school and she didn't finish till 5 plus and my maid went to fetch her from school so there wasn't anyone to open the door for me. Anyway, I was there for slightly more than half an hour when my grandfather came. (My grandfather comes every other day) and so we waited outside together. At least I had some company. Though we did have the same conversation over and over again. Then 15 minutes later it started to rain. Geez, what did I do to deserve so much bad luck? Lol, anyway my grandfather wanted to climb over the gate to get to shelter but then I thought it might be a little dangerous for him so I wanted to climb over to get umbrellas (from the cupboad outside) for both of us, but thankfully my neighbour's maid offered to let us into her house for shelter. Yay, first good thing to happen. So we were there for about 20 minutes just talking. All the time I was thinking of the maths homework and reading my chinese book but they were both in my house of course. And then my sister and maid came home. I felt like slaughtering my sister...but then I guess it's not really her fault. Cause she has to stay back and my parents don't allow her take public transport alone. But still I was kind of angry.

And so finally I get to be back in my house. I did my maths and read a few more stories of the chinese book then I bathed, ate dinner and went tuition. Sigh, so tired now. Going to sleep soon.

I don't understand...Mrs Lim told the whole of the 2e english class to do a e-poem thing. But then I already did one for 2m. So if I do one for 2e and it wins does 2e win or 2m win? And then Mrs Lim's is also kind of different, cause she said we can do whatever we want, but then for the one that I did for 2m it said the theme was inspiration. And the entry form thing said each class only can have 4 entries at the most but Mrs Lim told everyone to do. So I asked her if I could just use the same one again but then she said I had to make a new one. So frustrating, as if I have so much time to make e-poems. It took me about 3 days to do the other one...and it was on the weekend. She wants it up by friday, I don't see how I can finish in time.

Oh well. At least it'll help me to improve my flash skills. I'm really proud of myself. I figured out flash all by myself. Then again I figured our photoshop by myself too. I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything, but computer's getting really boring for me. I mean, I don't think they should actually tell us step by step how to do everything. How are we supposed to remember like that? The only reason why I'm so good at it is because I use it too much. It's like everytime I use I learn new things. So I think that they should just let us play with all this stuff ourselves. We'll learn better that way if you ask me.

Time can do so much

I keep hearing Clay songs all over the place. When I went to popular to by my chinese textbooks I heard Vincent, then when I went to breadtalk at turfcity I heard Somewhere Out There. And when I was coming back from tuition in my dad's car I heard Solitaire on Gold 95. Hm.

Should I change my layout? I'm starting to dislike this one. It's too brown. Yuck, I have no idea why I chose brown in the first place. It's such an ugly colour. To me anyway.

I'm so proud of myself it's only 4 and I've already finished all my homework. In case you don't know that really not like me...I'm a last minute person. I usually do it at 12 midnight or so. I did my holiday homework on the night before school reopened. Hm, I wonder why I couldn't finish it. I guess the reason why I did my homework so early is because I want to watch Joe Millionaire tonight. I got scolded on monday for watch friends and smallville. Sooo unfair. I don't even know why I got scolded. It's not like it's my first time watching friends and smallville. I guess it's cause of my maths. It was really bad. Even worse than my chinese. Anyway I thought that maybe if I did finish my work early my mum and dad would let me watch. I know everyone thinks Joe Millionaire is a stupid show. I don't know why I'm such a reality TV fan. There's just something about it that makes me want to watch it. I watch practically every reality TV show. Survivor, Amazing race, Fear Factor, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Joe Millionaire, American Idol. Yes even temptation island. I don't know what's wrong with me!

The presentation for the science Wildlife Reserve thing has been postponed to 18th August. Yay..we've hardly started on the invertebrates yet. But then again we'll probably just leave it till the last week again. Lol..

Argh so many birthday's in July. I'm broke. Again.

I'm back!

The last time I blogged was...almost a month ago. Too lazy to blog. I guess I sort of lost interest. You know I was reading some of my entries just now...I feel so bleh. They all don't sound like me at all. Maybe that's one of the reasons why I never blog so long already. Too personal. It's like the side of me that I don't show to most people comes out whenever I blog. So crappy...anyway now that I haven't blogged for so long a lot of people surely don't come to my site anymore so I guess that's good so they won't laugh at my stupid entries. Haha.

Did I mention I've got a new layout? I didn't know who to do, I wanted to do charmed but all the pictures so ugly so I ended up just doing Piper alone. She's my favourite charmed one anyway, but I like Paige's power best. I can't stand the side bar. It's so tiny, my tag board's so cramp and ugly, so I advice you all to try not to use really long words or connect the words with lots of ...s because then it's go right of the tag board and I won't be able to see it. I know it's so troublesome. Oh well can't be helped.

Oh I finally saw Finding Nemo on Monday. Squirt is so CUTE! Hehe, and Dory's so funny! "Just keep swimming swimming swimming. What do we do we swim swim swim" Hahahaha. "Are you my conscience?" Oh and I watched Charlie's Angels last night, the plot sucked but it was quite good. Quite funny too but I prefer Finding Nemo. Hehe. I was supposed to watch Agent Cody Banks with Claire today but then it wasn't showing any more. So sad right, it was showing yesterday and today don't have anymore. Just miss by one day. Argh.

What else have I been doing? Oh I read finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was good. As expected. Darn how long do I have to wait till the next one?

I can't believe it's the last week of holiday already! I'm so sad...I don't wanna go back to school! All the tests...so stressful. I really cannot wait till the end of the year. Sigh so much homework, I've barely even started.

I was really bored yesterday so I was making stuff with photoshop. I love photoshop, it's so fun! I made this and this. See I'm so fair. There's one for Clay fans and one for Ruben fans. Personally I like Clay's voice better. Their both in greyscale...should I colourize them? Hm. Anyway...should go now. Start on that big pile of homework. Well not really that big...just a lot of maths. Sigh >_<

Confict Management

I have to keep this entry short...cause friends is starting soon in 10 minutes...I usually take about 20 minutes to type out an entry. Haha, I've got a lot of crap to say.

School today was so boring. We had to sit through all those stupid talks again that we have every year. First there was Discover Jesus Week. That was okay, like any ordinary chapel...and then we had a recycling talk. I mean come on...a recycling talk??? How boring can it get? Okay, we have never had a recycling talk before...but maybe it's because...it's so boring? And then...after that 1 hour of torture in which I fell asleep several times (well most of the time to tell the truth), we had a talk on STDs. A talk which we have every single year. Sheesh how stupid do they think we are? Like we'll just go around doing it with any guy out there? Do they have to tell us every single year?? I'm going to have nightmares tonight. All those pictures. To tell the truth they aren't that disgusting so long as you don't know what they are. But then some people had to ask and after that it became 10 times more disgusting. -_-

So after another hour of torture we were finally let of for reccess. That was okay, I went to the computer lab with Colleen and Shubha cause we didn't really feel like eating. So we just surfed the net until the bell ring and then we went back to class for conflict management workshop That must be the worse thing we had all day. At first I didn't think it would be that bad, we were making jokes about it cause it sounded like anger management, you know the movie. If I could only say how boring it was...I lost count of how many times I fell asleep. It was from 11:05 all the way till 1:35. That's 2 and a half hours....and the worse thing is we have it again tomorrow. I don't know how I'm going to survive.

I'm getting kind of sick about all our PW stuff. I don't see how it's going to help us in the future. I mean, all we do is analyze stuff...formulate questions. Answer the questions. What are we supposed to learn from that? And I think I've learned enough about Euthanasia to last a lifetime. And we always do the same thing every week...and now we have this conflict management thing. We do it in our PW groups and it's almost exactely the same thing expect maybe it's a little more boring. I really don't see what we can gain from all this.

Oh friends just started I think...

I'm so free

I had CIP yesterday...it was okay. It wasn't that hot, not hot at all in fact. Only thing was that I couldn't hardly get myself out of bed . I had slept at about 2 a.m the night before cause I was surfing the net and kind of lost track of time. And it was raining quite heavily when I woke up, you know the feeling when you wake up to the sound of rain, and it's so nice and warm in bed under your blankets and you just want to lie there and go back to sleep again...that's how I felt, but of course I had to drag myself up and go for CIP.

CIP started out pretty well, I was in a group with Jiaen Colleen and Cynthia...at first we picked up a lot. There was a lot of little bits of litter so we ended up just throwing in handfuls of sand and twigs...but then we regretted later cause the bag was so heavy and it was so troublesome. Then Cynthia found this tiny wooden figurine and she was like "Look! I found a dead body." Then we decided to bury it and we all said rest in peace. Haha. Anyway...we got a new bag cause the old one was getting too heavy, but by the time we were all tired of picking litter, so we just stood around and talked. Then we started playing around with the sand, we build this tiny sand castle with a little moat around it and a bridge leading out of it. Well to tell the truth it looked more like a mound of sand with a leaf sticking out of it. Haha. And then the others started making this sand couch thing...lol. And then Stef and Michelle tried to dig a hole leading from the moat to the sea, but then the water wouldn't flow up so they had to make it really deep. Well the water did travel up a little but it didn't reach the moat haha. But it was fun anyway. I think the teacher's noticed that we weren't exactely picking litter, and we had only been there about 45 minutes, cause they said that we don't have enough bags and gloves and that we probably couldn't last till 1:30 so they decided to stop at 10:30 instead. Haha, only bad thing is that we still have 2 more hours of CI to do. Sigh, oh well.

The rest of the day was pretty boring, not worth blogging about. Heh..I have a really boring life. It's funny, I feel so free now all the exams are over. And my plan for the June holidays ate..sleep...eat..play computer. Lol, isn't it funny how some people are so busy and some people (like me) aren't? I mean look at Colleen for example, I think she has choir camp, prefects camp and youth camp, and I have...nothing. And it's not only during holidays, it's during normal school days as well. Unless I have CCA, I usually go home right after school end. And then there are some people who don't get home till 5 6 o'clock everyday. I wonder how these people cope, I mean look how free I am and I already get stressed out so easily. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just the type who can't cope so easily.

Well onto today. I skipped church today...because my mum wanted to take us out shopping and I'm really short of clothes right now and I don't know when's the next time I'll be able to go shopping with my mum. I feel kind of guilty though. Sigh, oh well. So...I went shopping, I just bought a pair of long black pants. I can't stand being so short. So many clothes don't fit me because of that. So frustrating. Oh yea I also got the 3rd Artemis Fowl book. Yay, I've been wanting it for a long time now. And it's quite cheap, I think it has about 300 pages and it's only 10 bucks. And I saw the 4th princess diaries book and it was $30. So expensive...but then it was hard cover so I guess that's why. But still. Then we went to funan the IT mall to fix the ps2. Again. It better work this time.

Oh I got this weird e-mail from some person about this blog. She said she was from some traffiking company or something, then she said she came to this blog and noticed that it was on some search engines, then she said something about getting more traffic to this site if I sign up with them. And it's not just junk mail cause my url was in the subject of the mail and she had a screenshot of my site, and she at the last part she was like "This was sent to invalidcode@hotmail.com. If this is not your site then blah blah blah..." So weird. And why would I want to post this site up on search engines. Like I want the whole world to read my personal blog. I mean, I'm sure I sound like some pathetic antisocial person who can't even get the ball during captains ball. Why would I want the whole world to know that? Haha.

I wonder what we're going to do tomorrow....I think there's going to be some post "exam" activities. Hm.
